And scene.

It's such a meaty podcast, you might need a toothpick. A funny pick, a giggle pick. I mean, people turned it off probably. There's one person that turned it on and went, I'm not today, I'm not. Well, I definitely know there's a few people that went, okay, I'm up for like some nice chill conversation between two best friends, and then it's,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you know, if you didn't speak English that's probably what our podcast sounds like I would imagine so like the fucking Tasmanian tie whatever it is Taz the Tasmanian devil um I remember kids in elementary school would rock those crazy jackets that would have like the massive embroidered taz or the M&M's characters, we should get those. But we worked on that bit all week. We been crafting it. It's why uploads have been a little bit slower.

And I think it went over well. I think we executed it nice. The joke? Yeah, the joke. Yeah. What we started with. The intro. I think it's drawing a lot of new viewers in. Yeah, it's gonna what we started with intro. I think it I think it's drawing a lot of a lot of new viewers in

Yeah, it's gonna go viral. I think you know We're just in a chipper mood because we've been on a creative binge now while you might not see it on the channel Of course unfortunately not yet. You might be going where the sketches they haven't uploaded a sketch about well One it takes some time for certain things to come out depending on the editing and the effects and whatever we want to put into it. But also, we want to kind of have a backlog of stuff so that we can release it on a more regular-ish schedule. Not a regular schedule where every Wednesday is a new sketch. More so, like, we're not going to go this long without a sketch like we have right now. We're trying to really just kind of have multiple things going on at once so depending on

whichever one gets done first we can kind of yep get that one out and then solidify which one we're gonna streamline next. We have a whole handful right now of sketches that we've shot and they're in the editing phase. Little sketches, big sketches, tall, short, everything in between. Orange, brown, yellow, green, blue. No red. Ryan's scared of that color. Which is, I hope therapy's been helping with that.

It's an irrational fear, it's a phobia. So I mean, I'm afraid of vomit, that's irrational, I get it. Well growing up, I grew up with, at least at my mom's place for a long time So like in high school, maybe even late middle school even You know I grew a red walls a red Coca-Cola clock with a with a checkered white and red bedspread bright red to like Like red like that ring red behind you the ring toys yet

I'm the red character on the channel. Have I sent you pictures of? Yes, I've seen it. What, okay. It's fucking horrifying. Dude. In my head, at the time when I was younger, I think I made this decision in like middle school,

I was like, okay, at my dad's house, I'll have the blue room. And at my mom's house, I'll have the red room. Actually, wait. Maybe I haven't seen the red, I've seen the blue one, 100%. I think my mom repainted the red room. Actually, wait, maybe I haven't seen the red, I've seen the blue one, 100%. I think my mom repainted the red room, unfortunately. Because it was very aggressive. I asked specifically at the time,

because I was collecting different eras of Coke bottles at the time. And I still have the collection. Oh yeah, oh yeah, so there's a bunch of fun ones. There's ones with kind of a spherical center to them. My best friend growing up had a Coke Bottle Collection. It's a fun little pastime, but since I was such a big fan and you know me,

I kind of jump head first into obsessing over things. Yeah. I was like, you know, Coca-Cola Red seems like a good room color. I never felt relaxed in that room. When I was sleeping, of course. But it wasn't a room where it was like, ah. I'm pretty sure red is a color that promotes aggression. Promotes adrenaline too, in your brain, basically.

It's probably where I got, I think I do have like memories of raging more at games at my mom's house than my dad's. You were seeing red. I was. Dude that's honestly like just a cherry red walls is such a upsetting, we should do that in here. We should paint the walls fully red. It does not work in a house no, but maybe well like think about it the house is like normal

Like let's say eggshell white right beige. Maybe some gray wall space coffee Yeah And then bright red the moment you walk into my room and your your bedspread was red checkered white and red Nice. Mm-hmm. I just had a bunk bed at the time really that's like this oh yeah yeah yeah what did you sleep up top I slept at the bottom I liked it cuz it was like a cave yeah it's so cozy and I was always afraid of sitting up and hitting the fan because when I first got the bunk bed that's that happened quite a bit I did when you get a bunk bed you want to sleep you

want to always sleep at the top why'd you have a bunk bed, that happened quite a bit. I did that. Cause when you get a bunk bed, you want to sleep, you want to always sleep at the top. Why'd you have a bunk bed though if you were an only child? Sleepovers? For like sleepovers, friends to come over. And then every, when I was younger, every other weekend, so like I would be at my dad's for one week and my mom for another. And then so I would see my stepbrother and sister who were my stepdad's kids, I would see them every weekend that

I was with my mom. Sometimes Greg would come in, we'd play some Halo 3. Sometimes Marcus would come in and play some Halo with us as well. We'd have split screen Halo, like split screen Halo 3 back in the day, like probably around, I'd say I was in like seventh or eighth grade, was like the shit.

Xbox Live back then, yeah. Yes, like modern warfare, think about the age of gaming, like in this era we had- Oh dude, golden. Halo, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Fallout 3 Bioshock 2000 and 2010

Beautiful beautiful beautiful time for video game the Xbox 360 era knocked it out of the park I really feel like we're never going to get an era of video games again That's as classic and good as 2000 to 2010. Yeah, because that was you know, the calm up of video games being popular. 2000 to 2012. Okay. Yeah Yeah, I feel like there's something in there that 100% that was the golden era because that's when you got like I mean obviously there's classics that came out in the 90s 100% GTA 5 came out in 2013. I think so maybe we want to bump that up to 2013 No, I guess we're talking about like a string of game like the era. And the consoles that came out during that time, the DS, the Wii.

The DS was great. Like the Nintendo Dogs, obsessed with that. DS was a fantastic console. Would you always like restart because you're like, ah, I want another puppy and you just want to train it all over again or did you stick with your puppy? I stuck with one for a while but I remember changing it a lot. If I hadn't played in a while and I came back to it I'd restart because I'd want to do it all over again. We should stream nintendogs though.

We did a let's play of it early on didn't we? But the problem was we didn't have a microphone hooked up and we had to say the dog's name so we got stuck. What do we make its name? Steve! I don't know what we named it. I was like 2016 super mega. Let's play Probably said some almost a decade ago. Oh Wow, yeah Soon we're gonna have to do something for our big decade blowout dude This month marks nine years since I moved out with you. Yep. To live with you. Nine fucking years. Holy shit. That dude, that just like, it came to me and it blows my mind. Nine years.

Nine years since Daniel got Mark High and got him to agree to make you an employee of Markiplier Incorporated. He gave him an unfathomable amount of ketamine and Mark, you know, could barely open his eyes and signed a paper Daniel held up. It was pretty good. Without the ketamine, there is truth to that story. The ketamine? No, I said without the ketamine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I thought you said, well, with ketamine, there's truth. No, without the ketamine, there's... No, I am without the ketamine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought you said, well, with ketamine, there's truth. No, without the ketamine, there's. No, I am eternally grateful for. Not like in a way where Daniel got Mark blitzed and was like, yeah, you should hire Matt. He didn't get inebriated to the point that he took advantage of the fact. He just, he expanded his mind.

He wanted, he was getting a fun like right. He was kind of like going out for drinks with your buddies. Right. Right. Heighten the mood if you knew like, you know, hey, so I just wanted to mention that my lawnmower broke and I might need to borrow yours. Oh, you can just have it man. Okay, really? Thanks, I'll have it back right away.

One of those. Yeah, the classic lawnmower borrowing talk. Exactly, and Mark had the penthouse on the corner. In his old videos you can see it, it was beautiful. It's where I went with you guys, right after he moved in, it was empty still, remember? Yeah. And we hung out with Mark that night, drank a couple brews.

I don't think I did, because I was 20, or I was 19. And I was just getting into, not just getting into alcohol, but I was never a big alcohol drink. I feel like ever since you knew me, I never had a phase where I was on one. You know?

No. I've always been a pothead though, since you've known me. You've always been the stoner, and I've always been the alcoholichead though. Yeah, you've always been the stoner and I've always been the alcoholic So that's a good it's good dynamic. Not anymore. Yeah, not anymore almost Next year and next month is one year sober from alcohol But

And a little glee video or audio listeners are gonna think that there's just a really awkward silence right there They're like, but it was just I I was just smiling. Maybe you could have wait. Hold on. Can you hear when we smile sometimes wait? One I was trying more here Yeah, you hear the smiles But yeah, I remember Daniel, you know one day wait a second Sorry to interrupt yeah, but I just Were you a responsible boy this morning? Did you do what you needed to do Ryan? Just let me finish my topic

I'll grill you afterwards. There's there I'll grill you afterwards. There is, I forgot all about that you dirty little devil. Go tell your story. I'm grilling you though afterwards brother. Please don't. I atone for my sins already. Tell me, you're about to tell a story about Daniel and the lion's den? Yeah so this guy named Daniel basically

But you know in 2015 it was May of 2015 I Actually, okay even a little further back I Found out about you and Daniel through a mutual friend when I was a freshman in college because I was making comedy YouTube skits Just for fun trying to see if anyone would watch them and this mutual friends like oh you know there's there's two guys that went to USC that they just moved out to LA because they're big youtubers and I was like what really like just moved out right wait because Daniel and I moved out beginning of February and this was my second semester with so this had to have been

February or March yeah and I remember checking out your channel, Cyndigo, and being like, this is so fucking funny, and I was like showing all my friends, like dude, check out these guys, they're from South Carolina. And you hit up Daniel over Facebook, or did he reach out, no, you reached out to him. Adam is a friend on Facebook,

and we did some Facebook messaging of goofy memes, and then hopped on a Skype call with you and me and Daniel. I remember. Was I on that Skype call? Mm-hmm. You didn't say anything. You were just sitting there, I remember. I was just.

Basically, yeah. But. Which now you know from knowing me isn't a bad sign. No, no, you're just quiet with new people. I'm a quiet, yeah. I kind of feel people out. And I remember we just talked about making videos together and you guys invited me out and I was like,

oh, I've never been to California. Booked a ticket right when my semester ended, flew out to LA, stayed with you guys for a week, we shot some videos, had so much fun, I extended it two more weeks and that's when we shot Blonde Boys. Went to Vegas. Yep. Didn't do anything, we weren Blonde Boys. Went to Vegas. Yep.

Didn't do anything, we weren't old enough to. Gamble. Yeah. We saw two women kissing in the home town. No, none of us were old enough to gamble. Right? No. I was still 20, yeah.

You were about to turn 21 because you turned 21 in the break that I visited you guys, went home and I was like man, that was a fucking dream come true. And then I was working back at Chick-fil-A, and then one day I just got a text from Daniel that was like, no, it was from Mark. Mark texted me, and was like, are you available for a call? And asked me if I wanted to move out to LA to be his editor.

You said yes, and then. Then I said no. No, I originally said no. I thought you said yes, then no, and then yes again. I was torn. Cause I remember Daniel and I kind of getting excited and then getting pissed at you. Oh yeah, I think. But not like, fuck this guy.

It was just kind of like, you're being stupid. Yeah, I was torn at the time and very emotional about leaving my girlfriend and all my friends behind and moving to LA and dropping out of college because I really liked where I was at in life at that time. So it was a huge risk, a huge leap, and it was tough about maybe going long distance. You were going to the University of South Carolina,

you were in the Japan club, skies were the limit. I was the graphic designer for Japan club. Oh shit. And yeah. Which is essentially like the chaplain. I am a noob dude in real life basically, but the best part of when I was graphic designer real quick was I didn't know that the Japanese flag

with the sunbeams, the imperial flag, I didn't know that that was not acceptable. It's essentially like waving around a confederate flag. It's not like the same meaning, it's just kind of like, it's like a, it's a flag that, It's a time that was, It's a flag that means something. Yeah, and it means, it represents a time

when Japan was very, very not good. Not cool. But I made this, they asked me to make like a flyer for Facebook. And you used the imperial? Yes. Did they call you out on that? Yes, this Japanese student named Yuna was like,

hey, you need to take that down and change it. Anduna was like, hey, you need to you need to take that down and change it. And I was like, really? What's wrong? And she was like, that that's the Imperial Japanese flag. That's bad. You can't use that. And she explained it to me. And I sat my white ass down and I listened. And then I replaced it with a non-imperial flag. You better pack your bags this instant. We've been running from town to town Only referencing that song because he says rising sun in it. Yeah, isn't the rising sun, dude? I think I was in high school and I was just like driving to that song

dude Do you remember kind of driving around with an attitude in high school like listening to fucking? I don't know for me like cheesy like cheesy shit, where it's like, I'm not afraid! I still do that. In fact, on the drive here this morning, I did that. I had just found a really good song I liked, and I was like cruisin' with an attitude. Oh yeah, dude, I still sing along, if I know the words.

Dude, when you find a new song that's really good, and you turn it up. Repeat, I'm one of those that just repeats a song. I find a song and I play it on repeat for a number of days, and then find a new song that's really good and you turn it up. Repeat, I'm one of those that just repeats a song. I find a song and I play it on repeat for a number of days and then find a new one. I feel like I'll have like a month vibe with a song. That's why I like making monthly playlists each month because I've stopped doing that.

I've done it every single month since January 2018. I think the last one I did was in 2023. Yeah, you were doing quarters, right? Yeah, but now, actually I can see. Let's see what were the last things on my playlists. What was I listening to? I remember I walked over to you once and you were listening to One Trick's Point Never.

And it surprised me. I don't know what that is. It's the, uh, he's a- Sorry, I'm so bad with fucking- No, it's, it's fine. He's the guy that did the soundtrack for like, Uncut Gems. Uh, he did the soundtrack for The Curse.

Fantastic show. Okay, so I got Q3 of 2023. Oh, okay. So that means- Up until through September. Like July, August, September, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's see. The Flaming Lips. Great band. Do you realize... I actually, they're playing live soon and they're playing live with Weezer and Dinosaur Jr. And I couldn't get a ticket because it sold out.

I'm gonna name all these artists and tell me if you recognize any of them. So on Q3, I'm, sorry, this was Q2 of 2023. I didn't get into Q3. People beg to know what you're listening to. People are always like, what, Ryan, what's your favorite song? What are you listening to?

Well, here's a sneak peek. Okay, I got fruit bats Ever heard of them? Nope here Copyright No, I don't I don't know you listen. I like this you've shown me some really good music.

Ryan McGee with the indie music. This is the last song on my... I like it. Yeah. Well, thank you Luke for probably rolling your eyes throughout having to mute. You could put up a Kevin MacLeod song each time I play a different song, except it has to be a different Kevin MacLeod. But we were talking when it was playing. Luke can do, he can re-record our lines, right? Yeah. Yeah, that works perfect. Or he can just fast forward through when we're listening,

talking, and then get back to where we're actually. Like he just fast forward through like the whole section. Ryan showing Matt music. And put a Kevin MacLeod song still. Yeah, and also just, you know, Matt didn't know, knew one or two, one or two of you. I knew the flaming lips.

Yeah. Dude, but you're out here on the indie scene with these deep cuts. Well, like four of those songs were from the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 soundtrack, because I recently saw the movie. They always have a, Guardians of the Galaxy, I think I have like all three of their vinyls.

They're just good kind of soundtracks to put up. Yeah, I've never seen it, but when I was a freshman in college, actually right around the time that I met you and found out about you, that semester, I found a song from the movie. I had never seen the movie, but it was a song that was really good. Southern Nights? Go all the way. I think it's called Go All the way, but it's fucking and

Take me back to 2015 man. It was it was baby back. Take me back Tyler yeah Dude you you're a music head. I Was I was watching Tyler when he was still saying?

Yeah, his new stuff is good. Um... You know, Tyler actually has had a history of dropping an album every other year for like seven albums in a row, but he skipped it. He didn't do it. I feel like it's been four years since he dropped something. 2021.

About three. So it was, it was, Call Me If You Get Lost. It was Igor. No? Call Me If You Get Lost, which I fucking. No? Call Me If You Get Lost. Which I fucking love.

For some reason, I don't think I've listened to that album. Oh dude, you would love it. It's so good. I think the last album I listened to of him was Igor. Tyler, listen, this is a very classic white boy tape. Which I thought was fine, but I didn't like as much as- Flower Boy. Butter, Flower Boy.

I was about to say, I was about to say- Butter Boy. No, I guess it's because they sound similar. I was about was also to pimp a butterfly, but that's Kendrick Lamar I mean also a very his probably Kendrick's like claim to fame is to pimp a butterfly, right? Daniel loved that album. No you guys You guys played Kendrick Lamar for me and showed me a bunch of songs. I'd never heard I remember driving in the little Fiat flying down. I still remember where on the highway it was too. It was on the,

on the, the five? The one-eighth? One-thir, thirty, 134? Yes, I was like, why can't I remember? I drive this highway like every day.

I remember flying down, I was in the back seat, you guys up front, playing that Kendrick song, it's like, why can't I remember? I drive this highway like every day. I remember flying down. I was in the back seat, you guys up front, playing that Kendrick song, it's like, no, no, dodo. Oh, yeah. And dude, that was a great time though. I like the song where he's just like,

fuck you, bitch. And then there's some woman yelling, fuck you, person. I can't. Fuck you, cracker. But, okay. some woman yelling, fuck you person. I can't. Fuck you cracker. But, okay. Not saying cracker, saying, saying.

Saying what? Saying the equivalent. Not the equivalent. I wouldn't say it's the equivalent. No, no, yeah, I wouldn't say the equivalent. I get what you're saying though. I get what you're saying. You know really, whatever you say cracker, if you want to know the difference to people that

are like, what's the fucking difference? Say Cracker in like a crowded mall and then say the other one in a loud. See how many eyes turn your direction. Let's note the difference. Actually, YouTubers, Ryan and Matt, all of a sudden, like there's TikToks going viral, people just screaming it and it gets like put onto us. Well, they told their fans to go into public malls and yell, scream the N word.

The super mega challenge is what they're calling it. I can see like fucking Kotaku article, the headline. It's like a picture of us on this podcast. Like YouTubers, you headline, it's like a picture of us on this podcast, like YouTubers encourage fans to go in public spaces and scream the N-word. Don't do that, but man. Except the daily wire headline would be for the both of us, just a couple of brothers stirring the pot.

Because they're gonna be like, we can use it how come they they're wanting to kind of instigate it a little further and they would definitely have a line how cracker is offensive and say cracker cracker is just despicable exactly and and like you know why if you could say cracker why can't you say the other thing you know I'm asking the real questions here. Dude, I swear to God, like, just that clipped out of context without any of the lead up. There's a lot that can be clipped out of context

on our wonderful little podcast. Oh my God, yeah. There's just like plenty of one liners that, you know, I would really not enjoy being clipped out of context. But back to 2015, dude. It's a great time. Is there still more than that? Yeah, you want some?

Can I have a sip? Yeah, dude, it's the Grape Monster. It's pretty good. No, I tried the strawberry one, zero sugar. Strawberry's not that bad. Not bad. It doesn't have a strong flavor to it. This is better, though.

The green apple and that one are my favorites. This one is good. I think this is my new favorite, the grape. I think green apple's probably one of my, green apple, mango, and watermelon are my least favorite of the monsters that I've seen. Oh, I thought you were gonna say like, in general flavor-wise.

God no. I was like, you don't like mango or watermelon? Imagine a banana flavored monster, dude. Might be good. No, it wouldn't. I just don't, I don't like banana flavored things too much. Artificial banana flavoring is uh. It's kind of a lot.

It doesn't ever taste like, dude fruit flavors like in candy don't, they don't taste like the actual fruit. Cherry kind of is more accurate than most. Yeah and you just associate it with those flavors though but when you taste the, there's like the way watermelon tastes and then there is like, the watermelon flavor of artificial watermelon.

It's like completely different, but it's good. Watermelon's top tier flavor of things. Watermelon in general, for me, God, I love biting into some juicy watermelon. God damn. I remember back in like, when I was younger, going to the neighborhood pool, my stepdad Jim coming up with a big bull watermelon,

cutting it in half, cutting out chunks for us to eat. Doing a Gallagher routine with it, smashing it right next to the pool. Well, one of the reasons I didn't like watermelon at first was because you had to do the extra work of doing the seed shit, and I didn't like that. Well, the cutting's a lot of work, and then you gotta wrap it up,

like all the individual things in like Saran Wrap. I bought one recently because I was like, are watermelons in LA really that good? Bought one from the store, you know, when they have that big bin, like the big cardboard, massive bin that has all the watermelons. Pulled one out of there. I actually looked at a watermelon guide online.

Was it fucking delicious? It was like the different shapes and the splotches on them, what it means. Uh, dude, it was so good. Well, I mean, a lot of Northern California is rural farm land, isn't it? Yeah. I tried growing watermelons when I was a kid. Like drive down all the way, just drive north on the one, using the one, and you'll like just hit a bunch of just open fields and flat land and you'll be on there for like it feels like hours. California is a huge agricultural industry massive massive massive agriculture there's a

lot of farming here but watermelon dude it was so good nothing is worse than a mealy watermelon. A mealy watermelon? Yeah you know I'm talking about it's mealy watermelon. A mealy watermelon? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about? It's mealy. Where it's like too much water, not enough sweetness. It's mealy. Explain what mealy means. It's the opposite of when it is crisp and crunchy and juicy. It's like mushy. It's when it's almost like made out of little tiny, little granules and it's kinda,

you know what I'm talking about? I like having that kind of slight crunch. Also what I like is the rind, not all of it, but when you get down to just a little bit of pink on that rind, it's like a fresh flavor if you scrape your teeth on that thing. That's what I have. I think a lot of people have this

where you just look at the watermelon afterwards and you just see your teeth grooves getting the last bit of the red and pink you can. Dude, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, I'm not gonna celebrate it. Might've been a little placebo, but. I think I do remember you honestly just saying you were just eating an orange in the shower. I tried it. Yeah, you were like, yeah, I don't know. For context, there was this thing a couple years back, maybe like five years ago or something,

where people were saying, maybe it was on TikTok, they were saying if you get into the shower like butt-ass naked and you like squat down and you just tear into an orange and eat it and just just rip it apart and get messy with it it stimulates some primitive part of your brain and monkey brain yeah so I tried it and uh it was really nice in the sense of the juice didn't wasn't sticky because the water is washing away it was It was cool, I would do it again.

But that's what we would do, early humans, in the rain, get some fruit and just. I liked it, I would definitely do it again. I wouldn't say it was like a life-changing experience, but I suggest everyone go out and try that. Actually, we'll switch it up a little bit, the super mega version. Get in the shower, and you know it up a little bit. The super mega version. Get in the shower and you know, butt ass naked.

Boiled egg. Soft boiled egg. Or hard boiled egg I mean. Yes. Yeah, just tear into a hard boiled egg in the shower. Starting with the shell and just rip the shell apart. Crunch it off, crunch the shell, spit it out, or eat the shell even. Now that's what I would call a super mega challenge, not that other thing that was theorized

earlier on. Yeah, that one has nothing to do with us, if anyone would ever do that, not affiliate. We were just making a point of obviously one is way worse. Right. So don't actually do that. Why is it? Why is it way worse? That was a fine-boom.

Because of the historical context. I don't know why that's so hard for people to get. It's like, you can explain it in one sentence. Like, why can't everyone say it? Because of the historical fucking context and history. Boom, case closed. Gotcha. Yeah, well, the Irish were slaves too. We were enslaved. You don't see us bitching and moaning about it. I still feel enslaved.

To reiterate, those are not my beliefs just because I know some people are stupid. Yeah. Like, Ryan said what? I would hope that most of the people watching this, what I said sounded very goofy and that was the intent Was for it to just sound? Stupid you sounded like that one guy who passed away not too long ago, but the guy that's Lord have mercy. I'm about to bust

What'd you say? Boogie 2988 No, God rest his soul, but no it didn't sound like him Unfortunately, God I his soul, but no, it didn't sound like him. Unfortunately. God, I am gonna miss him though. He was a shining. Apparently got into crypto recently. I watched a video about the scam.

Coffeezilla got involved, called him out, and then Boogie flipped it back around and was like, this was always just a joke coin. Everyone should have known I was joking joking like if you invested money in it That's your fault like I I he promoted a it's the joke. It's part of the joke. I all I remember of boogie is I've only seen him one time in real life, and this is back for God This is back out with them hung out with them is back when he was rolling around on a scooter We were at VidCon VidCon 2016 2016. We were with Mark Applier.

The Mark Applier. We were with Jacksepticeye. Wasn't Mark was also there. There's a picture of us with Jack and Mark and both of us talking. Isn't that the same VidCon? Because we only went to VidCon once. Yes, same thing. Mark was there but when we were with Boogie it was just Sean. Okay. Because I think Mark went home. He might have been. But anyways that's not the important detail I guess. The important detail would be Boogie of course wanted to get from my recollection because in my recollection Mark was there. He got a picture

with Mark and Jack or in Matt's recollection just Mark was there. He got a picture with Mark and Jack. Yeah. Or in Matt's recollection, just Jack. He stood up with him. Like he got out of his scooter. It was a miracle. And he stood up and took a picture. And then he kind of like looked Matt and I over a little bit. Right. And then he kind of was like, I'll get a picture with you.

And then he wanted to take a picture. So we were like, OK. And then I think later in the day, he uploaded those pictures on Instagram or Twitter or something, where it was like, him and Jack or him and Mark or just like him and the popular people. So what Matt and I surmise is that he looked at us,

saw that we were with someone big, didn't know if we were big ourselves, took the picture just in case to post if we were big, but then found out that we weren't and so decided not to. Yes, that is exactly what happened. And well, do you remember he was like, we caught him at first before we took a picture with him, we caught him sneaking a picture of us? Oh yeah. Where he's smiling and we're walking behind the scooter and he's like, oh, yeah a picture of us

And maybe we were a bit ask. He just kind of got a picture. He didn't post it though. No, right? No, he didn't know I wish I wish he would maybe he still has it but I wouldn't I doubt he still has it probably on an old phone somewhere. But you remember who else was walking with us? Jacob Sartorius. In that, oh yes. Oh nevermind, he wasn't with us but we saw him. Yeah. Also, Anthony Padilla was also there, if you remember.

I remember I saw him, we didn't talk to him but he was tall and he had people around him. I was like, that's Anthony. There was definitely a stark difference between the YouTubers who were like you and me who were excited just getting into the game The youtubers who had been there for a good bit and are just used to it and then the like mega star youtubers Right cuz you gotta understand when we went to VidCon 2016 we SuperMega was three months old

Yeah, so So we only had 20, 30,000 subscribers and we had these business cards we got made that we took to VidCon that we wanted to give to other YouTubers and it had like our cartoon character, people on it, it has a QR code. I still have a ton of them. Really? Yeah.

Oh, blast from the past. They're in my SuperMega memories box. But basically, do you remember the one other person Really? Yeah. Oh blast from the past. They're in my super mega memories box but basically Do you remember the one other person that was walking with us in that group and hanging out with us all night? Almost it's it completes the the group Jontron. Oh, oh, yes That's right. Can you like imagine time traveling, like the ghost of Christmas past, and you see us walking with like security guards

in a group of like Jacksepticeye, Boogie, and JonTron. And potentially Markiplier. Potentially Markiplier. I do think Mark was, maybe he wasn't. I just don't remember him, but it could have totally been, he could have been there. But I do remember Boogie and I remember JonTron. And this was of course before Jon's debate, classic debate.

He just didn't have all the info. Yeah, he didn't study enough. He was just trying to make the point, he was just trying to make the point that black people are more violent than white people. Just inherently. Just from their pure by pure nature. Right, right. He just didn't articulate it well. Yeah. If there was a smarter way that he could have said black people are more violent than white people on a on a on a just a throughline basis. Right, right. He would have. Right. If he could, you know, talk about like promote eugenics more. If he had the vocabulary down. Right. Or arguing, you know,

potentially for a white ethno state. Or of course being super fucking sarcastic. It was very stupid. Oh, I wasn't. I'm sure. I don't know if he's, the most he's walked back those statements is that he's like, I wasn't well researched enough to have a debate with Destiny. He didn't ever... I don't think he ever apologized for saying that stuff, but it's like... I don't like getting into it because every time you do, JonTron fans fucking... snipe you. But anyway, yeah, goes to Christmas past taken us seen young Matt and Ryan with John Tron boogie jacksepticeye and potentially Markiplier and then we went and saw that the Gregory brothers were performing so we

were backstage and we were talking to the Gregory brothers they were super nice. Shmo Yoho. Yes okay sorry I was in my head I'm like Gregory brothers and then like the the the picture started to come into head, the dude with like the glasses and the shorter hair. He was really nice. He was like one of the people I remember talking to the most because of just how nice he was. John was very kind of like,

he just didn't give a fuck about us. Like, why would he? Not in like a negative way, just like. He just wasn't give a fuck about us. Why would he? Not in a negative way. He just wasn't like. In a sea of people we were not of note. Right. Because we didn't.

But I did lend him my phone charger. Because he needed a phone charger. And he took off with it. And he went backstage and he sat down in a hallway charging his phone. Didn't he give it to you back? Well, we needed to leave cuz Sean was ready to go and Sean Jack's of the guy was staying on our couch at the time And it was like pretty it was like 10 o'clock at night. I was like, hey, man I got a we got to get running now just 10 more minutes. Oh, that was the dude

He like held us off from leaving because he needed to use my phone charger longer and then You and me had to sneak out with Jack. Dude. It was just you, me and Jack because he was coming back to our place. Yeah, he was staying with us. And we had to like sneak him to the car because we parked publicly because you know. That was fucking that was literally like a moment in a movie when you're when people are like they rub the zombie guts on them and like walk through a crowd of zombies

to not get noticed. Some people were noticing though. You could tell there was like people like, people would start to turn their heads and it's like we gotta move, we gotta move. Dude, it was insane because after VidCon closes to the public, the creators get to stay inside and that's when they can like, you know,

talk with each other and the floor is open for them to walk around. So we were in there. It's where I met Rice gum and the damn Daniel kids true You said you were a big fan of rice gum. He didn't pay you much mind No, he was also sitting completely by himself while everyone was socializing and then that ten-year-old like kid Marc Jacobs Oh, yeah came up to him while I was talking to him dapped him up This is a all these names are like,

a lot of them just aren't in the ether anymore. No, no. You remember Marc Jacobs. Like a super mega. Yeah. But anyway, uh, it's nighttime. And- Nope. It's ad break time. Welcome back one and all from the ad reads lay ad read. Yep. Exactly. Matthew was telling a story about Mark Jacobs And just real quick mark Jacobs if you look him up, I'm not talking about the the luxury fashion No designer. I'm talking about the vine star. He was friends with Jacob Sartorius. He was one of those like like preteen boys who would do all of the like, lip-syncing vines on Musical.ly or whatever. And uh- Do the hello I am in the frame now.

I'm gonna get low too. Anyway, it was really crazy because when we were at VidCon, if you walked outside of the inner area where the big glass windows and doors are, basically it would just be dark outside, but then you would slowly see just like bodies appear. Because it would be people coming up to the window to see what YouTubers are walking out.

And all of a sudden, within a matter of seconds, there was a crowd outside snapping pictures with their flash and everything and yelling the names of like, Jack, Jack! So Jack could not go anywhere. Probably still couldn't. This was like the peak of his YouTube fame too. Like this was probably when he was,

When he peaked. Yeah and we had to get him out of there but there's no, we parked really far away and there's nowhere, the whole place is surrounded by fans because they wait outside for hours In case a youtuber comes out and the crowd was massive hundreds of people I think so We had to get out so what we did was Uh gave him a hoodie Uh, he put the hood on

Uh you and I We weren't did he have put a beanie on too? I don't remember. Because we had to hide the green hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he put the hood up. Because he had the lime green hair at the time. Right, anyway, the only way out was through that crowd of hundreds of Jacksepticeye fans.

And these are the type of fans that, the ones that were going to VidCon like this, these are the type that like, we saw people coming up to Sean all week in sobbing when they would see him. So these are these are younger girls who were just very very very very uh obsessed with him. So we have to walk straight through the crowd and he just puts his head down and we walked kind of like front and back of him Straight through the crowd just kind of pushing through people and it was so tense Like I remember my heart was just pounding because all it takes is one person to go There were some people who like as I said earlier when we were telling the story people were turning

Turning looking, you know, right and then it would be a domino effect where someone was looking. They tap their friend. It's pretty much like, you see someone whip and like look around, other people are like, what are they looking at? What are they looking at? Right.

They tell their friend and point. Yep. And then if someone says it out loud, like, Jacksepticeye! Then it's over. We would never get out of there. Jack! So we just, we made it through

with no one officially out loud noticing. And then we just booked it. We just kind of booked it straight back through the neighborhoods back to Ryan McGee's tiny little fiat. Yep. And it was a crazy, crazy, crazy weekend. That was the weekend we met. Jinbob. Is that what his name was? Jinbob. And it was a crazy weekend.

That was the weekend we met. Jinbob, is that what his name was? Jinbob. But Jim Bob is fun too. Yeah, Jinbob, dude, and I'll never forget, we met Jinbob at a party, we're really small, this guy has like 400,000 subs, and he was talking to us and was like, dude, we should collab, we should do do some games together. And we were like, sure, that'd be cool

because we're trying to grow the channel. He goes home, immediately puts us in his box on his channel for other channels. It's like, friends. Oh, we're still there. I don't know if they have that feature anymore. Oh, okay, good, good, good. No, I think you can go to other channels.

There's a tab. Anyway, he put it there and then shortly after was arrested for trying to meet up with a 14 year old and went to prison so I'm glad that we're still there on that on that channel and We also met Joji Idubbz Max That was the week and we met. You went over to say hi. You were standing with us.

I didn't really. At the party, we were all standing in a circle. See, I guess I remember when you went up to go say hi to them. Yeah, it was cringe. At the actual convention center. Right, cause I. Was that the same party where Jack cut off his pubes for the For the filthy Frank video. Yeah. Yeah, okay

Fun fact I was the cameraman for that part when he rips off his penis pubes and people were very upset that he did that They're like that's why are you showing your pubes? That's crass. That's that's awful Why why are you collaborating with filthy Frank? I want to be one of the cool boys I'm a let's playboy and it puts me in this bubble and I wanna be cool! We saw Philip DeFranco? We did. That was a wild weekend. I feel like YouTubers don't go to VidCon anymore. But we went at the peak of when YouTubers would go to VidCon and it was more of a normal thing. It was kinda like when VidCon was starting. It was in the first few of it's running, wasn't it? It wasn't like going on. It might have. VidCon I want to, I almost want to

say wasn't a thing until like 2014 or something. That might be the case. This was 2016 VidCon. And actually episode two of Super MegaCast, no not episode two, sorry. It's like in the first 10 episodes. It's called Baby's First VidCon. And it's us talking about. 2010. Really? Yeah. So it's 14.

Actually I think it literally happened like last week. Are the, I was about to call them the Brown Brothers. The Green Brothers, right? The Brown Brothers? Yeah, are the Green Brothers still in charge oh? That's right No, they were playing green and Hank Green they replaced it with Tana Tana manages it now, but the Brown Brothers There's no way Tana manages it no

I'm kidding cuz she had Tana Khan and it was a fucking nightmare and she did it while Vidcon was happening next to Vidcon Then a lot of people just didn't like nothing happen it was like a lot of people stood out in the Sun and then yeah, they were having like heat stroke and They oversold the amount of people that could come in by like hey, there's videos about it. It's crazy. Um Did not go over well though But it was it was a fun experience, you know, I was around the same time that like Fousey tube was having one of his breakdowns and he like stood on top of a car. You remember that shit?

Yes. Yeah, that was God what an era, you know, he came back and had another breakdown in the hotel room There's he had many breakdowns with the police arrest him live on stream I just remember the one where he went and had sex with an intoxicated woman. Yes, or yeah, dude. It's God bless him you see We really have come through The big errors of YouTube and thank God we made it out of the leafy era I know thank God did he know he's back. I don't I wouldn't say he's is he back or I mean he's still getting from what I've seen

pretty big views I remember I saw he was streaming on Rumble or kick or something. I remember I this was many months ago that tracks I clicked it because I was like what the fuck is leafy doing the first thing I hear is just some like Incredibly transphobic remark what the fuck is even this over them in the EF slur and I was like, oh, okay And it was insane, dude there's just like some people fail to mature in certain aspects of their personality in life. It seems like he really dug down on the like

the 15 year old version of himself. Well when it is when it makes you successful it reinforces because like why would you ever grow up if that immaturity starts making you millions of dollars? It just reinforces that your ideas are correct. You kind of look at the Paul brothers in that way. Yeah, yeah. Logan and Jake. Sorry, I was thinking of the Brown brothers again.

You're a silly man, Ryan. You make me giggle. I do. You have since Ryan. You make me giggle. I do, I do. And you have since 2015. Look at me, just still sitting here. Different podcast set. Different podcast. Different podcast, technically, yeah.

It's the same. Not technically, it is a different podcast. It's a different show. Same shit, yeah. Same shit, different day. Exactly. But you know, Super MegaCast was fun. I had a good time recording that with you always.

And what I'm happy about is that we'll always have that and have it to go back to look at in 20 years, 30 years with the lockdown. Because that was just very documented as it happened. We recorded a few episodes Not with each other I feel like we recorded most of the episodes though in person still yeah We did some over discord. I think you know you and I weren't like We weren't going out and partying you know we would really only stay at home because of the lockdown and then come into work

Yeah, that was the only places That was a depressing ass time when everything was closed and you didn't know. It was cool. Yes for the first like four weeks it was like dude this is sick. Like they're forcing me to stay home it's a snow day essentially. Essentially and it's like everything is fucking closed we can just chill. And then it's like oh shit everywhere is closed oh shit everywhere's running out of things that I need oh shit it's week five really really cool mom-and-pop joints that I used to love eating at her

closed forever now permanently yep like there's a there was a diner in Glendale that I loved dude is that why it closed mm-hmm fuck closed around Conrad's yep dude that place was fucking delicious it was it There was a diner in Glendale that I loved. Dude, is that why it closed? Mm-hmm. Fuck. Conrad's? Yep. Dude, that place was fucking delicious. It was, it was, the thing that I loved about it is that they still had the same furniture and stuff

from like when it opened in the 70s, I think. Yeah, it's one of those like mom and pop restaurants that just kind of serves like a little bit of everything. They have like a big menu. I always got their French toast. Dude, I always got their corned beef hash. Going there early in the morning. Just sitting in a big booth.

Cause it was never crowded. It wasn't like a popular diner. Yeah, it was always pretty empty. But it was so charming. And we would go late at night too, remember? And that's where I saw the infamous white snake fight I went there one night and the the drunk guy got into a fight. What's the chicken plate wing place? We like kyochon Kyochon kyochon is still they have not brought back the applesauce. I'm connecting this

No connecting this. No. Korean. Internet routers we like. Wait, Kyochon is Malaysian? It's Korean. Oh, sorry. It's located in Malaysia. First international Korean fried chicken chain to be certified, but its location is Malaysia. Malaysia? I tipped my hat. A little Reddit joke for some of you. You might not, it might go over your head and that's okay. Damn it. No applesauce? I have not ordered them like since basically. For context, there's this Korean fried chicken place in LA called Kyochon. The best fried like chicken wings I have ever had. Like they do it perfectly,

where the chicken's still so juicy inside. Slides right off the bone. Fuck. Like it's breaded perfectly, and they had a delicious, a big beautiful apple sauce. They had a specific sauce that made everything great. We'd get their, not sweet, were they honey wings? We'd always get their honey garlic?

I thought it was just honey wings. They were honey garlic, they had a little bit of garlic. Well, we got their honey garlic wings and we would dip them in this apple sauce. I would just dunk it, dude. It looks, the best way I can describe it is it kind of looks like melted Where those Breakfast roll icings like Pillsbury. It kind of just looks like melted icing almost it reminded me of liquid ice caramel

Remind me of like melted caramel color. Yeah, the color was like more Brownish, but it was with maybe a hint of yellow I remember the color being yeah like yeah like beige and we would always oh yes you're right you're right it was it was it was almost like calm it was it was like beige ish kind of like a little gross come yeah that hint of grossness like if you haven't been taking your body was the greatest thing and every time I would go over to Matt's, I would just be like, can we please, please? Because I live all the way over in Beverly Hills. Right, right.

And I'm in Malibu and they deliver to Malibu and we would just order like 40 wings. No, this is back when you were in your penthouse in downtown LA. Oh, oh yeah, that's right. You're at the top of the bank building? Yep, the US bank building. I missed that place. I didn't know that was a whole living area on top of it. Most people don't. Is that the one with the slide too?

Was that your idea? Yeah, that was my idea. They did the little tourist attraction. I still need to go on that. I don't know if they still have it. Anyway, we would dunk these fucking wings. Dude, Ryan, come back, dude. I'll check if they still have it. The tallest building in LA is the US Bank building,

and it's a skyscraper, and I used to live the very top floor in the penthouse, and they installed a glass slide on the outside of the skyscraper that you could go down. This is not a bit, they really did that as like a touristy attraction. It was my idea. And uh.

Who said I could go down this slide? So why would it be gone? I think it might have just been temporary. I don't know dude. It's alright dude, we can, after the podcast we'll look. Hey dude! We'll look it up! Hey!

Ryan! You doing man? Hey, dude, we'll look it up Hey Ryan you doing man? You need to fucking adjust your attitude you need a fucking chill dude Stop it don't that's our book. That's valuable Better make another slide You can't be throwing these temper tantrums, dude Put a slide somewhere. Luke's gonna have to come in and Put his hands on you and you don't want that

Ryan? What? It came apart. No it didn't. It did The the the computer I built that you smacked. Now it's back together. Look. I will sue you. Yeah, I'd like to see you try Pip Squirt. Dude you're coining so much good shit on this podcast. Thanks man. Pip Squirt, the Brown Brothers. It's fantastic. Really fucking good stuff. Pip and Squirt present the Brown Brothers. Pippin' Squirt Entertainment. Is it Pipp and Squirt or Pippin' Squirt, like one word? Well, it was originally just one word
