Welcome back to the Beanie Brothers podcast, the only podcast for a group of people who love wearing beanies, not to cover any physical deformities, although I'm sure it's fine if you do. We're just using it as a fashion statement. Does baldness count as a physical deformity? No.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Hmm. Because I'm sure a lot of guys wear beanies to cover up male pattern baldness. I was thinking like a third leg or like a finger growing out of the top of your head. I don't know if a beanie would cover up a third leg, but a finger. But it would be like an infant's leg finger growing out of the top of your head. I don't know if a beanie would cover up a third leg, but a finger.
Starting point is 00:03:05 But it would be like an infant's leg because it didn't get to grow. That's fucking awesome. That's so sick. Just a baby's leg sticking out of the top. Or like a- That's awesome. Or like a nose, just a single toe you had to one one part of your body if like a
Starting point is 00:03:29 wizard came up to you right now and was like Ryan look at me boy and I look at him right in the eyes I'm gonna duplicate one of your body parts right now and put it on your forehead which what are you choosing I almost want to go no not an eye because then someone could poke my third eye but that could poke your first and second yeah, but he gives him another option to go for in a fight. That's true maybe like a Johnson No, but if you put your penis, that's a hard one
Starting point is 00:04:01 Well, it'd be soft most of the time yes Yeah, you say man you set me up Well it'd be soft most of the time. Yes. I was kinda waiting for it. Yeah, yeah. You set me up and I fucking... you threw the ball and I hit it. So this isn't like a gift, it's a curse. I curse you! Well I guess, you know, it's in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe I'd get like a whole hand so I could like, so I could hold things.
Starting point is 00:04:23 The body part works by the way, whatever it is. Like a wrist and a hand. So like if I get scared during a movie and I do this, it can be a third kind of blinder. Yeah, if you can accidentally, you're like, oh no, I can see through my finger cracks and I can still see the scary thing, you know. This can come down and cover up the rest.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Cover up any of the cracks. That's pretty cool. I'd probably pick, I don't know, a third eye would be pretty cool. Well, I already opened to that after smoking ayahuasca with some shamans but I don't know honestly a third eye would be neat because I feel like you'd be able to see be able to see more depth because everything's 3d because you got two eyes you see two
Starting point is 00:04:59 different angles. How do spiders see? Through their eyes all eight of them. Yes that was was the more direction I was going to. Oh, I thought okay. It's for tour I thought you were asking how do they see? No, it'd be like how do they envision the world with all of their eyes? Right, right, you know Maybe a nose could smell twice as strong. No, I actually I don't want to do that I want to yeah, I think like my hand and wrist idea. No, I think that's a great idea, but I don't want to do that I want to yeah I think like my hand and wrist idea no I think that's a great idea but I can't copy you actually if your two hands slip it can be there to kind of grab like something that might rip your neck off because you don't have you know there's no connecting muscle I guess you're falling off a Looney Tunes ass cliff it can grab onto like a tree
Starting point is 00:05:41 root that's sticking out at the last second. I don't understand why, like, I haven't seen our ideas in Hollywood yet. Like this is a perfect kind of, you know the cliffhanger movie with Sylvester Stallone? I remember the cliffhanger thing from Re-Between the Lions. Did they already make a cliffhanger too? Cliffhanger? Is it about a guy that's hanging on a cliff? Really? Yes. That's actually what it is? 1993... yeah. See? Look at the poster.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Just a guy hanging from a cliff. Eugh, I hate that. That's so scary. Okay. Outdoor thriller in which a former mountain rescuers pitted against a group of criminals who have lost their 100 million dollar stash during a plane crash in the Rocky Mountains? After being persuaded to help rescue a group of stranded hikers, he discovers that they are in fact a gang of violent robbers who need help to locate their missing loot.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So I don't know how much Cliff hanging... I'm guessing they force him to help find it, and then he probably goes all rocky on them You know and beats him up and saves the day. See I'm gonna be honest. I thought this whole time Because of the potion everything I thought cliffhanger was just about a guy that went rock climbing and then just got caught hanging got stuck I thought it was gonna be like a like a one location 127 hours where he's just hanging
Starting point is 00:07:05 from the cliff the whole movie. Help me! Fuck! It's like, I'm still stuck! There's two different camera angles. And it's all real time. The wide kind of all encompassed, or there's different wides.
Starting point is 00:07:18 There's the wide where he's just flat, you know, you see him at his back. And then there's the one where you can see like a distant mountain or something And then you got the close-ups. Yeah, you got the close-ups different angles of that so actually we could get quite quite creative I think you and I that should be our our first film that we write and direct together should be about a man That's rock climbing and he gets stuck, and he's just hanging there Then I'm guessing in my head as a kid it would make sense because when Cliffhanger 2 came out,
Starting point is 00:07:46 Cliffhanger 2 is confirmed with Sylvester Stallone, so it will be coming out. Dude, he's like 85. The sequel will take place this year. He's stuck on the cliff again. Well, I don't think that was the premise of the original movie. Help!
Starting point is 00:08:01 Cliffhanger 2 is, fuck. I was hoping that you and I would be able to make a Cliffhanger sequel but actually make it more appropriate for the name and it's a... maybe he does hang from a cliff for a large period of time. It just throws out the story of the first one and it's just him getting stuck on a rock face. I'm gonna ask Google right now, how long does Sylvester Stallone hang on the cliff? Cause he has to hang, it's on the poster, man. Sylvester Stallone has to hang for a bit. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:08:32 How long does he hang for? Well, someone on Reddit went, I rewatched Cliffhanger and counted every second that Stallone hangs from things. Nice. So I'm gonna look at this. Hang time at Cliffhanger, and now total time spent hanging
Starting point is 00:08:50 173 seconds that was about to say minutes. I was like, whoa He hangs from a ladder for 71 seconds. He hangs from a rope for 28 seconds cliff He hangs from a cliff for 28 point two seconds So not even not even half a minute and they named the movie after it? Yeah, Helicopter 22.4 seconds, Cave 17.9 seconds, and the Bridge 5 seconds. Is his name Cliff? Is it like a pun? Because his name is Cliff Hanger? Let me look it up. Hi, I'm Cliff Hanger.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I know you're not serious, but I do want to know what his name was in the movie, the Cliff Hanger. It better be Cliff. Dude, can we make a short film about a dude that hangs from a cliff, gets stuck, and his name is Cliff? His name was Gabe Walker. I think Gabe Itch would have been a better name. Gabe Itch.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Ooh, Michael Rooker was in this movie, John Lithgow was in it. John Lennon? I love John Lithgow. Who's John Lithgow what I probably know the face I just don't know the name Lord Farquaad Oh classic he was he was I know he was in Dexter but I never really watched it I just know that he was in it he was he was in third rock from the Sun I think or whatever that show was I've
Starting point is 00:10:03 heard uh that Dexter starts off so good and then just as time goes on just becomes absolute ass Which sucks because it seems like a really good premise for a show You know yeah, did you ever watch any of Dexter? Just laboratory yes, I watched but no Dexter not a single episode of Dexter has been watched has this brain Interpreted I don't think I haven't either I I knew a kid in high school No Dexter, not a single episode of Dexter has been watched. Has this brain interpreted? I don't think, I haven't either. I knew a kid in high school that was obsessed with it and he kept trying to get me to watch it.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And I was like, no thanks, I'll stick to my Breaking Bad. Sounds like the beginning of a true crime podcast. He was obsessed with Dexter, a show about killing. He kept trying to get me to watch it. Then he got his friend to watch it. He felt alienated from this friend so he decided to do what he thought he to get me to watch it. Then he got his friend to watch it. He felt alienated from this friend, so he decided to do what he thought he had the right to do in that moment that night.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I wish IWU videos and JCS were just, they just went with the first draft. Like they don't clean up the script at all, it's just the run on sentences sentences and messed up grammar and we haven't even talked about our sketch. Have we not? No, we didn't talk at all about the about the the Stuart Pecan interrogation sketch. It finally saw the light of day. More time went into that. The music video was kind of somewhat already done, just had some minor fixes up,
Starting point is 00:11:27 but we put that out because that had been so long since we filmed it, that we thought that would, that should be put out first. But this was also being worked on behind the scenes. We were working on this back in November. Yeah, I think November was when we filmed the interrogation scene. And the interrogate, Ryan and I improved and rifted the whole interrogation same Luke same yeah Luke
Starting point is 00:11:50 I mean we had like points to hit yeah we seemed to work the best when we are a little like open we're like the Judd Apatow of YouTube that's what I like to say don't compare us Okay, uh funny people We could make the funny people YouTube show YouTube doesn't do shows funny people funny brothers YouTube do they still do original series? I'm gonna look YouTube red series no the YouTube red is dead. Oh, hi nice rhyme. He rhymed guys. I did it again YouTube it's YouTube premium now, but I don't know if they to Why didn't they ever give us an original show? An original series? We could have made a smash hit, you know?
Starting point is 00:12:32 Maybe they were scared it was gonna be too successful and it would overtake the whole platform. And then every other YouTube Red show would just look like shit in comparison, you know? I mean, there are... I mean, the thing is, it's YouTube originals. Okay, I gotta look up YouTube originals. YouTube originals.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Miranda Sings had her own show? Or maybe that was Netflix. Like a talk show? No, no, no, like a scripted show about Miranda Sings. About her character with the red lipstick and the This was five years ago though. The epic comedy, very epic comedy. I watched some of it at Aaron Hansen's house.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Yeah, most of this was like five years ago. I guess they're not putting money into that. Not anymore. They didn't even give us a shot. They didn't even give us a fucking chance to make the best YouTube original series on the entire platform. It would have been one of the best,
Starting point is 00:13:23 but I don't wanna to give too much away Instead we'll just have to go with Netflix or Hulu Dude, I would love to go with peacock peacock is doing pretty well Honestly, hey if there's anyone here that works for a streaming service that has original series Ryan And I would love to write direct edit and star in our own original series, but it has to be a crime thriller Slash horror. Come on, no, dude. Slash suspense thriller, which is different than a regular thriller.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Romantic comedy? A little bit of that thrown in there, just for that demographic. I think we could make a good series. I want a little bit of everything except comedy. We need to spread our wings and challenge ourselves. I think that's great much like a mother bird Launches her babies out of the nest in hopes that they'll fly and glide to safely to yeah
Starting point is 00:14:13 I love I love it's just like well. You better be able to fly by now pushes the baby out that is uh That's that's evolution, baby. That's that's nature. That's mother. Wait, we didn't finish talking about the interrogation video. Yeah, so we had like key points. Because we had beforehand kind of roughly come up with like, alright, so this guy obsessed with family guy kills his family. And then we thought of, we were thinking of some of the goofy, like, you know, like the Nana Nana Boo Boo, stuff like that. And then we just sat down and went for, how long did we record for each time, like 30, 40 minutes? Yeah, it was all a one take interrogation.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Yeah, so we sat down and just would improv from start to finish, and we did three takes. So there's three recorded sessions of, you know, going through that whole plot and how long in between did we record that and then the we actually? rent not rented we We got an Airbnb and shot there. Oh Yeah, the other one and only George Clanton. That's right officer Clanton officer clanton did a did a wonderful job He texted me about an hour ago and said that he was out at a cafe
Starting point is 00:15:29 and someone came up to him and said, thanks for getting that creep Stuart Pecan off the streets. I hope he said, you're welcome. And he didn't just look at them like this. What are you talking about? I make music, you little freak. I was in one video! I knew I shouldn't have been in that fucking video of theirs!
Starting point is 00:15:50 I knew I shouldn't have collaborated with those two little fuckboys! Damn it! Now everyone just knows me as Officer Clanton instead of hit music pop star George Clanton! This is truly a cross I will have to bear for the rest of my days. But he said that, he said the guy worked at the cafe and he said apparently gave him his meal for free for being such a good officer.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Maybe we should go there. Maybe we should. What if he gets enraged because he actually believed it was like real and so like when you walk in he goes, what the fuck are you doing? Like he gets really enraged. It's an so like when you walk in he goes what the fuck are you doing it's really in the actual like murder just walk does no one else see this sick fuck just walked in has anyone seen the case like come on yeah but we you know we had we had some fun we ripped it then we rented an Airbnb and that was the the house from the beginning for the police body
Starting point is 00:16:43 cam footage who the person showed up while we were filming. Oh my god. Okay, so we were in the process, because we had to film the outside stuff with you like snacking, but the funniest parts that people like, you know, the toaster. Wait, the officer made himself toast?
Starting point is 00:17:03 What the F? Go into the comments and sort by newest on that video. Every other comment is about toast. But specifically at this point we were, in the shoot, we were staging the bodies in body bags and like bloodied them up, got a fake carpet, not a fake carpet, but a carpet that wasn't the Airbnb owners.
Starting point is 00:17:24 We bought our own carpet, bloodied it up, let it dry, and then put it on the floor. But the Airbnb, I guess, owner, rent, land, land, land prints came by and through the screen door just kind of started watching. Was like, hey, is everything all right in there? Hey, guys. And we're like, yeah, everything's's great we don't want him to know what we're doing because you know he might be mad we're filming something was weird
Starting point is 00:17:52 well the couch George was on with blocking the carpet the rug that I had just covered in fake blood and my hand was covered in fake blood because I had spread it around the carpet and he's he just kept asking us questions about like obviously trying to stall the Conversation to see what was going on. He's like Did you guys find parking? Okay, and I was like, yeah parked right out front and I held my hand up Pointed covered in blood. Also. He probably was very confused because we moved all of the furniture Outside of the living room on outside. Well here's the thing, because he had a ring.
Starting point is 00:18:27 He was probably watching us move his furniture out. They're like, why is this guy carrying the couch out onto the patio? They rolled up the rug? We kind of, also he probably looked to the stairway and saw his furniture, like the stair, like because he had chairs and stuff that we put like up there in a car,
Starting point is 00:18:42 his other carpet we put up there. Oh yeah, we took like the table and had chairs and stuff that we put up there in a car, his other carpet we put up there. Oh yeah, we took the table and the chairs and stuff upstairs, and it was the type of stairs that go up, and then there's a little... Very narrow stairway. ...landing, and then they keep going up. We just put all the chairs and stuff up at the top of the stairs, which you could see from the door. So he probably just looks in, sees we've moved half the furniture around, and the other half is outside, in the driveway basically, and then all the chairs are up at the top of the stairs and you've
Starting point is 00:19:09 just got these three weird looking dudes that are just, hey! Not coming outside to say hey and be friendly. Oh yeah, because we just all stayed where we were. So like he's outside. He never came in right? No. It was always through that screen door. He's standing there and none of us made the effort to go like Up to him. We're all just stayed in position
Starting point is 00:19:27 Because they were professionals professionals, you know, we had a job to do but yeah Buzz off and let us do our thing homes home slice Well also Then there was another great thing that happened. He left and we're like, ah, sweet, we got away with it. We filmed the stuff and then we had to take body bag pictures.
Starting point is 00:19:51 So we stuffed four actual body bags. Oh my god, yes. These are real body bags we got off Amazon. We stuffed them with pillows. And sullied them with blood. Then we put them on, in the driveway, just lined them all up side by side so we could take an evidence photo
Starting point is 00:20:09 that looked like a real, you know, murder scene. And let's rewind real quick. When we get to the Airbnb, we notice that there's a little garage type house, like in the backyard where we're like, oh, most people just use that for storage. It's a shed. It's a junk, it's a shed. So that's there. We're like, okay, most people just use that for storage. It's a shed. It's a junk, it's a shed.
Starting point is 00:20:27 So that's there, we're like, okay, we go into the main house, do the shoot, fast forward about an hour, an hour and a half or so, continue. And we're, you know. Putting the body bags out in the driveway. Taking pictures of the body bags. We have like crime tape and stuff. And then this couple, maybe like late 20s couple,
Starting point is 00:20:46 just comes out of the garage because I guess that was also a separate Airbnb that a couple was staying at and they were leaving to go probably get dinner or something and they come out and they just see these body bags and they didn't say anything. They just kind of looked at it all weird. And I wonder if they thought maybe,
Starting point is 00:21:03 because you come out and you see body bags lined up your first thought is holy shit some people died yeah this is like that I do think that in their brains they're probably like oh these are like cringy film students that trying to make a deep hey you know serious dramatic short film making a short film about not a short film well yeah it's a short film it yeah. Yeah, it's a short film, it's cinema. Sure, why not? It's a nice piece of comedy. Yeah, it's a short film.
Starting point is 00:21:31 But yeah, so they saw it and they just didn't say a word and they opened the gate and walked away. I thought they stood out and kind of watched us for a bit. They took their time just kind of looking around, probably to make sure that there weren't actually four dead bodies right there at their Airbnb. They were just going through like fight or flight
Starting point is 00:21:46 They were like maybe we just chill and act like we're just kind of like hanging out and we act normal and they'll act normal Honey, that one has blood all over his hands Did you see what the fuck were those guys doing that one looks like vaporwave pioneer George Clinton? He's dressed up like a police officer It was a that was a really fun video to not only shoot, but really to edit, because after we had shot that stuff, we shot the, and if you haven't seen the video, pause this podcast and go watch it.
Starting point is 00:22:17 It's one of our best. It's only about 25ish minutes. 21. That's why I said ish because I wanted, it's over 20. I don't to say 20 ish and then it's over 20 minutes and then people are like too long. Little over 20 could still be 20. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, if I rounded it would have been more 20. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But basically- Yeah, go on. But, but, but, but the thing- Fuck. Basically- Really was- Uh. Fuck, um, basically- Really was...

We wrote the narration, uh, after we had shot like the improv stuff and we had so much fun writing that narration. We just like we're going through the clips and then just sitting together on the
Starting point is 00:25:21 couch, trying to think of like the next lines to put in and so it was so funny Just writing all those lines. Well, I think my favorite Bit that I added into the sketch Was the thing that I I laugh at what you designed around it was the Rick Astley's Rick rolling around Yeah Just calling it because like I think that was just like, we were typing up the narrative while watching the video and we're throwing out ideas and that was just one
Starting point is 00:25:53 of the things that I threw out. You just, you said out loud, you were typing, you said Rick Astley's 1987 hit, Rick Rollin' Around. And I laughed my fucking ass off. And that's how I knew. That's how you knew When I whenever I say something or whatever and I hear you bust out laughing like that deep McGee laugh I know that I've struck gold the album cover you did for it was wonderful too Or I made I try I tried to make it look really realistic
Starting point is 00:26:20 Rick Roland There's a lot of stuff where it's like one of those unfortunate things where while we're making the narration, it's almost kind of in the same way that we did the book. We're just trying to make each other laugh. Yeah. It's almost, sometimes it gets to the point of like, how dumb can we get it? Like sometimes we will like putting a little bit of like thought into the joke, like coming up with the names of the experts or whatever but other times it's just kind of like sometimes you throw shit at a wall it doesn't stick sometimes it does
Starting point is 00:26:52 sometimes that shit's sticky and hilarious yes and in brown and stinky yeah yeah see that was gold right there. Brown actually. Yeah, but that's how Ryan and I write when we write anything is we just try to write stuff to make the other one laugh. So we'll be like, we'll take turns typing and saying it out loud and hoping that the other one will bust out laughing. That's how we wrote the book.
Starting point is 00:27:20 That's how we write our sketches. And I think that's a good way to make Comedy stuff that is true to your sense of humor in not making comedy stuff That is like just to appeal to an audience Yeah, there's a difference of like just trying to be funny and then like I know it's the same thing with that Just to connect it. It's like that collaborative aspect. I really like about creating so like Collaborating with you is oh, yeah, so fucking fun. Oh, oh yeah so fucking fun it's a great time especially when we went out near the near a beach and wrote wrote the first half of our novel that was fun that was real that was a really good memory we thought we finished three-fourths of it
Starting point is 00:28:00 but then we just started adding more and more because we just wanted to keep going and make making each other giggle so that's why you'll know the book is extremely well written and it is it is a great form of literature but that you you can definitely definitely get the sense in some parts where it's like why if you ever are reading it and you go I don't understand why this event happened this way it was just because we were to get a laugh out of each other you know you got to throw in some some things that are just awfully stupid and it's almost
Starting point is 00:28:35 that like no way you can put something this stupid in a real book in a real book or like this so the same goes for this sketch It was like no way is something this stupid gonna be in one of these videos just the contrast of course That's where the comedy comes from yeah, well, and it's also zany randomness having that Narrator like just hearing that narrator say something with such a serious voice. It was AI by the way the narrator was AI No, I'm just kidding. I just wanted to piss you all off. Give the man some credit.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Dallin Bradford, Dallin, I don't know how you say his name, but apparently he narrates Mormon audiobooks. I saw some of you in the comments saying you recognized his voice. So I guess he does some Mormon audiobooks. All right. But yeah, no, that was a really fun video to work on. And it was also, one of the really fun aspects
Starting point is 00:29:31 was making all of the evidence stuff. So making court documents, making, like taking pictures. All the evidence photos and just just the like the security camera footage I I love the sign out sheet that you did. Thank you. I just looked up East there's Easter eggs in everything. Yeah, there's people pointed out. I think all of them I I'm trying to think of something that I've seen that did pointed out. I saw Well, I don't want to spoil the Easter eggs exactly
Starting point is 00:30:03 They're for you to find and for you to share amongst amongst yourselves I mean speaking of Easter eggs the opening to this podcast is chock full of them. Can you find them all? There's a lot of Easter eggs in the opening and they change some some things change every week every episode Different things in the intro change so it's different every time. It's pretty epic But yeah, I love that sketch. I'm excited to make more because that's like a long-form sketch you know. It was very long for a sketch but it I think it worked well. And I hate talking about stuff before it comes out because people's imaginations rightfully run wild and think of the biggest most. Yeah. But I do want to say I'm looking at the footage for the current thing we're comes out because people's imaginations rightfully run wild and think of the biggest most.
Starting point is 00:30:45 But I do wanna say I'm looking at the footage for the current thing we're filming and Tucker just working his magic is, I love Tucker. Don't you marry him. Tucker's cinematography genius. He is a savant when it comes to holding the camera. He is so unbelievable. Pointing it in the right direction?
Starting point is 00:31:03 Points it in the right direction Make sure it's pretty focused. It's that focus ring pretty close there No, he is the most talented dude. I have ever met he he Tucker knows how to color with crayons and Finger paints and no he knows how to color grade footage. She knows how to he just has this like Spidey sense this like unlocked Yeah, and part of his brain that can see things. It's like he can see colors We can that's a great way to put it. Yeah, he probably can but God how he makes everything look so incredible and
Starting point is 00:31:40 If our sketches only look good because of tuck well Tucker had zero fingerprints on the interrogation one that was all you and me, baby I was putting a GoPro. Yeah Going outside of a high school and filming me walked on the sidewalk Yeah, that was we actually that was outside of a real high school, but I think of one thing I will say for if we're closing out on the discussion or if it's piddling away. It's piddling away. Yeah, is that I, something that you and I notice that always annoys us in a movie for example is when someone has a video camera and it's a home movie.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yeah. And it's the same HD quality as the movie. It's almost filmed like it's a heavy ass camera. You can almost feel the weight of the camera. Sharp and the focus and the depth of field. Not only that, the effect they put on is just like a shitty, very high quality record symbol flashing on and off. And then if they put a VHS effect, it's just like a green screen overlay.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It doesn't actually mess with the image at all. And I don't know why it's so hard for these big budget studios to get that right. Like, there are good plugins to make it look pretty convincing, but then they just go with the worst. I hate how when they do fake VHS and movies or camcorder, it's still super HD. Or some of the worst is when it's like a news anchor and it's like you can tell they're not using studio cameras or they're not using the right cameras, they're not, just the setup in general. It's like it feels way too high,
Starting point is 00:33:12 much too highly produced for these local news channels. If we ever have to do a news segment for like a short film or whatever, I wanna actually use the same camera. I want to shoot it like on a news setup so the quality is the exact same and it doesn't have that, oh, we shot this with our HD camera on a green screen
Starting point is 00:33:34 and then made it look like the news. I wanted to actually like match the same quality. And the big part about this sketch was getting that, like the interrogation footage itself, making sure that it was of subpar quality yeah it's pretty compressed yeah and then also getting like buying an actual body cam to have body cam footage yeah we used a real on Amazon bought a real police body camera new modern-day body case so you know
Starting point is 00:34:00 there's things that you but it didn't have it didn't come with a strap So for the walking shots George is walking, and I'm just holding it on his chest and Yeah, just like for like the security camera footage at Padilla High School You know it's like matching trying to match that quality so you lowering the frame rate Compressing and crunching it down super hard little details Yeah You just want to like you just look at the real thing, you look at real security camera footage,
Starting point is 00:34:29 and you just want to try to match that as close as possible. So you gotta make the text look like shit, and do the whole video and then render it, and then crunch it down and blow it back up, and do that three times. And ultimately it just does justice to the video. Like I couldn't imagine kind of just, like kind of like half assing any of the
Starting point is 00:34:48 in terms of half assing, I mean, just filming it with a regular Sony HD camera in a corner and then trying to make the the quality lower by just filming on like 480p setting or something like that. I don't know, just, I liked, I just like on like 480p setting or something like that. I don't know. It just I liked I just like being able to kind of blend in with whatever we're satirizing. Yeah, yeah sketch because so like in this next sketch, it's not we're not trying to go off for not to get too in depth about or anything, but we're not trying to do a old
Starting point is 00:35:24 timey vibe or a YouTube video crime vibe, it's we're going for more of a I'll just say beautiful shots. It looks great Tucker just But yeah, fuck was I gonna say I was gonna say You're gonna say how proud you are of yourself for taking your tea. Yeah, you know, by the time this episode comes out, I'm several testosterone shots in.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Yeah, you are, baby. Yeah, mm-hmm. Baby with an I-E. Oh, thank you. If it's ever spelled like that. Maybe if it's like the name of a dog. Yeah. But yeah, that was a fun video.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And if you look at all the comments, most of them are like, wow, I made it eight minutes in before I realized this was fake. So that is the goal. The goal is to blend in, like you said, with the real thing. Because it got in the true crime video algorithm. So a lot of people would watch an EWU crime video because you and I love JCS and ewoo Yeah, those videos are so so good
Starting point is 00:36:29 So we would just a lot of people will binge those and then ours comes up next in the autoplay because it's Mixed into the algorithm of that stuff and that's that's what I love the most that it found its way into true crime YouTube and actually just blends right in. And it's us, you know, showing respect to the genre of content that we're also poking fun at in a sense. We're not really poking too much. We're poking fun at it in certain instances, but we're more just kind of like having fun with it.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Just trying to be goofy. Recreate it one for one those videos like Explore with us like in JCS like so much work Must go into each one of those videos JCS doesn't upload as much e was kind of taking the make them anymore Not anymore. I thought I think we quit all together. I am I remember him posting a focus more on school or something No, he was pissed about being Yet, no, he made a post The JCS guy just about I think it was demonetization
Starting point is 00:37:33 About how they kept demonetizing his stuff and he was pissed and then just gave up maybe damn I know good good stuff though good videos and explore with us is like very highly produced and Good stuff though, good videos. And Explore With Us is like very highly produced and we actually asked that narrator, the guy that narrates Explore With Us, if he would do our video and he was unable to because of contractual conflicts. But the guy that did it did a great job.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Very sweet man. Yeah, sorry, I was looking up and apparently he, JCS did quit over all. Very sad, right? Yeah, someone, I did see a comment that made me- He started that genre, I think. Like, I'm pretty sure he was kind of the first one to- This was two years ago he quit.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Time flies. I know. It's already April. I will say, I do have to take a break from true crime stuff because I don't get sucked into it and I'll Watch and a lot of it of course with most people with me is like it's curiosity Yeah, right, and then you just get to the point where it's like I don't want to fucking hear about Some trauma traumatic moment in someone's life or whatever like Like I remember like recently, there's this I don't want to like, I'm not gonna go too far into because I don't really want
Starting point is 00:38:51 to talk about it too much. I guess the theme of what I'm saying is this Apple River stabbing incident or something like that happened in 2022. Where some like, high schoolers were stabbed by a grown man in like a tubing river over an altercation they had. And it's just I like I was interested at first and then you just start kind of like reading and it's like I don't want to like fucking fill my days with just death and trauma and negativity. Cause it does seep into kind of your overall outlook sometimes.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So it's nice to take a little break. I haven't watched any true crime videos in a while. I kind of fell off it. And honestly I think it's because editing the hours and just kind of, you can just get a little sick of it. It's like, eh. Maybe we'll get in one of those moods later on, but I remember we were talking of like,
Starting point is 00:39:56 oh, I could see bringing this kind of idea back at some point, but right now, we both kind of came to a agreement where it's like, we think we of came to a agreement where it's like we think we're proud of like what we created with this and we want to move to like do something as that's why I said the next one has like more high quality shots and stuff like that. And the thing before this sketch was the music video I like doing different
Starting point is 00:40:18 genres and themes and stuff and who knows it might happen because something pops off and we go. Wee! But I can't, I don't like, I don't wanna episodically just create something because it did well once or like, you know. Yeah. Now we're the YouTube crime parody people.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I wanna make stuff because we are passionate about it, not because, well this got really good views, so we gotta make another. However, I would, and this obviously is not making plans or promising, I think it would be fun to re-explore this genre down the road where we come up with another fake case. You know?
Starting point is 00:41:00 Maybe I can be the detective this time and you. But I like putting a different spin on it. Like it's more of a, spin on it like it's like it's more of we style it as Forensic files or something that is a little more Yeah, like kind of like like a drama documentary with you know The black backdrop behind people and they're like half shadow half light when they're talking get the voice changer like Barely even have like they're even have half of their face shown.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You can see it, still through the shadow. That's like on Nathan for you. With the bare little sensor your faces. He's gonna do this stunt where basically he's gonna expose himself in front of a group of children if he can't unlock his handcuffs fast enough. Well I guess in the past two months. And he, parents had to agree to let their kid be in this
Starting point is 00:41:49 group that could potentially have a grown man expose himself and he comes in and talks to the parents and he's like don't worry we'll blur your faces. And they barely blur it, you could still see like every detail of their face which is so funny. Just shows like that when someone's given like creative full creative control over something it's almost like they're just given a budget and the green light like it feels like Nathan for you is that way Eric Andre. That is
Starting point is 00:42:15 what I want. White as kids you know was that way you get some of the most genuine fun and giggles yeah from the people who make content that is more genuine to their own style of humor and what they could do. It's almost, you know, it's the difference between someone going, give me a Will Ferrell Kevin Hart comedy, you know, telling a writer to just go write that.
Starting point is 00:42:40 You know, some guy, just some poor soul having to cobble together, get hard, you know some guy just some poor soul having to cobble together get hard you know great movie by the way I've seen like half of it but it's the difference between that and like what I think of like even widest kids you know where it's just they were given a budget and they almost became like oh shit oh we're giving some money and we can just make whatever we want and they used that budget and I was always impressed with the stuff that they were able to produce.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Cause I know that their budget wasn't like probably the biggest thing in the world. Still looked really good. Cause not only, you have to think about budget in terms of that budget is also used I believe to pay cast and crew and all that. That comes out of the budget. It's not like, well, to pay cast and crew and all that. It's not like, well, of course,
Starting point is 00:43:26 cast and crew, I guess I mean the creators. Like everyone on board is also getting paid from that, so they have to make the side and divvy up, and then they have to hire a bunch of people and do the set, because back when I was like a kid, I'm always like, the budget, like, I don't know why, but I always thought like actors or the studio just gave them money to be in the movie and then
Starting point is 00:43:45 And then the money had a just for the the movie in the sets I think a lot of people still think that probably but that is not the case Yeah, the budget is what you can spend I believe on Everything everything there is usually a separate marketing budget that isn't public If I believe or or I guess it depends on the project the marketing budget that isn't public, if I believe, or... I guess it depends on the project. Or is the marketing budget as well? I think marketing does come out of the budget.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Okay, true. I think, like, that is my dream, is for a studio or something just to give you and me money and go, here's a budget, go make whatever you wanna make. Go make the new Will Ferrell Kevin Hart comedy. Yeah. I would still direct that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I'd still write and direct that. Still do it. I just really, I want to be able to make what we want to make. I don't want unfunny studio execs blowing our shit. Telling me where the giggles are at. Cause we know where the giggles at. Take this joke out.
Starting point is 00:44:41 No, no, no, put this joke in. Maybe some, you know, it's real big on Twitter. Skibbity no no no put this joke in maybe some you know? It's real big on Twitter skibbity toilet put some of that in maybe maybe Less feces okay No, every episode gallons and galleys like this is gonna be our Nickelodeon slime Guys in the in the opening scene of the pilot you've you know you've got a man covered in shit And he's eating poop can maybe just for a five straight minutes In the in the opening scene of the pilot you've you know you've got a man covered in shit And he's eating poop can maybe just for a five straight minutes Maybe just that's not a good opening scene nobody because people are like watching it, and it's stupid. They're like what he's eating poop
Starting point is 00:45:21 Guys we need to we need to take some poop out. It's called the Pooh Brothers, dude. So dumb. The Pooh Brothers as a greenlit show on like ABC or Fox. ABC Family. So it still has to be like family friendly? Speaking of family friendly,
Starting point is 00:45:40 here's something queer is an incredible family friendly commercial break. Okay. ["The Last Postman Theme"] Ooh, wait a minute Mr. Postman! Nice. Ah! Matthew just informed me that he has a topic that he'd like to discuss don't say that I want to bring it in naturally
Starting point is 00:46:09 organically oh Okay, Luke just do the you know the thing where you do so I'm I'm boring and don't have a topic ready if only someone did oh Well Ryan what guess what I? Have a topic ready to discuss you have a topic prepared mm-hmm no way yeah that didn't feel natural should we do it one more time is there something you don't have to tell me what it's about but is there something that I can bring up that would lead naturally into it like it's hot
Starting point is 00:46:39 outside it has to do with fruit okay okay okay okay yeah ah Matt I just ate a banana one of my favorite fruits to eat well speaking of fruit Ryan you know I to do with fruit. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Yeah. Ah, Matt, I just ate a banana. One of my favorite fruits to eat. Well, speaking of fruit, Ryan, you know, I'm about to say something that is going to blow a lot of people's minds, maybe even yours. I'm ready. You know, a very popular flavor of things is acai. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:00 You know? It's all over the place. There's acai bowls. There's acai flavored. I don't like acai bowls. Really? acai flavor. I don't like acai really really no, but but go on dude I'm legit convinced that acai is was created by like a marketing team and
Starting point is 00:47:15 They don't acai berries don't actually exist because think about how popular that flavor is Acai is everywhere. Have you ever seen an acai berry? Have you ever at the grocery store, you know, seen them? Have you ever had one? I'm going to be honest. Here's the thing. I'm probably not the best person to ask because I do not look for berries in the grocery store. I'm a berry fiend. I don't like berries that much unless they're blueberries already baked into a muffin. See I'm a berry head. I love berries so much.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Or mashed into a, what's that dessert that you and I love? Cobbler? Cobbler. Like I love it in cobbler. Oh, acai cobbler would be. But basically... But you just said that there's no such thing as acai. Well, that's the thing. If it was real, I'd love it. But I really, I'm starting to genuinely believe that acai berries are just, they're not real. They don't exist. and it's just a fake flavor like blue raspberry
Starting point is 00:48:06 Because it's so popular, but you can't get them anywhere. Where are they? There's enough of them to to put in everything and make it a flavor But they're just they're just nowhere to be found the actual very blueberries they do and every time I go to the grocery store Every time I go to Trader Joe's I go to sproutsouts I go to Ralph's whatever I look for acai berries I go to the berry section and I'm like do they have them maybe this time no store has them no it's always acai sorbet acai super fruit packs where where are the berries themselves the acai berries tell them tell them you mean business the species is native to eastern Amazonia especially in Brazil maybe in swamps and flood plains acai palms are tall slender trees growing to
Starting point is 00:49:02 more than 25 meters tall maybe Wow it says 25 and then M and then dot dot dot so I'm just kind of making it I think yeah probably meters wait for real where like why I have you ever seen one in person no I have not I again I don't look for berries in the grocery store because I'm above berries. You know I Kramer But yeah, and of course the edible bit not to say he's not edible because I'm sure if you cooked them up and roasted them Whoo golden brown to I bet he's got around Barry Kramer tinder skin on a spit. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah Sorry, now I'm getting hungry for some berry. Yeah, that sounds pretty good right anyway the back to the um When I was in like middle school this kid on the bus had acai berries
Starting point is 00:49:54 Sorry, did this bus go round and round the wheels did oh, yeah, yeah But I remember I had one And it was delicious, and it was the only time I've ever come in contact with an acai berry but now looking back I'm starting to wonder I'm like so where the fuck did this kid get acai berries what if it was just a really good blueberry and tricked me you wouldn't know either way where's my acai berry muffins? See that would be delicious.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I don't want them just in like superfood bowls or capsules. I want real juicy, plump ripe acai berries. Where can I get them in Los Angeles? People often ask us why they can't just buy acai berries in the store and why it has to be frozen. There's actually a very good reason for that because of the levels of healthy omega fats found in the acai fruit If it's not frozen after being freshly picked will start to turn rancid. Oh So you got a So they they they spoil so quick that they literally can't sell them in stores. Yeah, I
Starting point is 00:51:04 guess that, I mean, that could also just, that's a real easy, you know, fake excuse. You could go get some frozen acai berries, put them in the microwave on defrost, and enjoy. That's true. Maybe I'll do that on the way home. Doesn't that not sound great, though? On the way home, I'll try that.
Starting point is 00:51:22 You'll have to get back in the next podcast, and I'll ask you about it. Okay. I will ask you about it. On the drive home, I will go buy frozen acai berries. I'm gonna ask you about it too. Okay, ask me about it. I will.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I believe you. Good, because I am going to. Okay, dude. I'm gonna ask you about your mama. Gotcha! One more fucking time, buddy. I'm gonna ask you about your mama. Gotcha Man it's just I do the joke you do the joke is back and forth man. It's just a joke just Not today Okay
Starting point is 00:51:59 Well, all right. Well, let's just get back to the I'll say fuck you man. Um Well, all right. Well, let's just get back to the assay. Fuck you man. Um Yeah, I think you know like blue raspberry, you know, like it's a popular flavor, but blue raspberries don't freaking exist You know, I think acai is another one of those It's just a it's a it's a marketing concoction. You think that Google's lying to me. Yeah, I think Google lies. I don't think Google is always an honest little search engine. I'm going to look it up on Google. Does Google lie?
Starting point is 00:52:31 I think Google is a bearer of false witness. Does Google lie? Conclusion. Does Google lie? It is highly probable, but it does not actively manipulate its biases. Instead, these biases are rooted in factors that contribute to the development of high-quality websites encompassing both content and user experience
Starting point is 00:52:51 This is on marketing lad.io a marketing lad of course does Google lie a marketers perspective. What about a member lad Bible I? Remember not really too much, but I do know of it. Yeah, it was they would just post like viral clips lad Bible We need we need to start a lad mega You know we got to collaborate with lad Bible steal some people's content We got to steal some content and uh you know put millions of views on it put a big watermark on it dude lad Bible is like basically my the best way I could describe lad Bible is like a guy that you went to high
Starting point is 00:53:26 school with, now you're 28 and you see him on Facebook, this guy that you didn't know very well who kind of peaked in high school, just sharing like clearly an AI video posted by Ladbible and thinking it's real. Do you think they have any connection with the I Can Ask Cheeseburger heads of the world?

Hey, man, maybe they'll buy us one day Literally top competitors are little b books penguin random house UK and salon media group and they have annual revenue of 44.4 million and holy shit 66 employees. There's so there's that much money in old memes? That's pretty profitable. We have a Know Your Meme page. I think that's our biggest accomplishment. Is that SuperMega has a Know Your Meme page. What can we say? We're accomplished.
Starting point is 01:00:17 We're a meme, I guess. You know? I can has SuperMega? Okay. Now. Now that's a shirt. You just designed our next merch. Boom. I can has SuperM. Okay now now that's a shirt you just designed our next merge boom I can has super mega. That's genius the dude. That's great Everyone would wear it out and definitely not be embarrassed about going out in public and something like that. We're gonna be rich dude
Starting point is 01:00:37 Great idea only if we change our names That took me a second to like that joke it went over my head and then it pumps the brakes and it turned around. The wall is at the back of your head and you went. It got me that was really funny. That's good. That's really fucking good dude. Thank you. I love you.
Starting point is 01:01:00 I love you too. I love you a lot. I love you. I know I know you a lot. I love you, I know, but sometimes you, you don't have to, I feel like it's more, this is becoming more of me reaffirming to you that I love you instead of you telling me that I love you, but it's fine.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Just as long as you know, I just want you to know that I do love you. You think it's like me seeking validation? I can't give you constant validation. I'm focused in other areas. You know, I can't give you constant validation. I'm focused in other areas. You know, I can't constantly be involved in validating my love for you. And I feel like I do that every day
Starting point is 01:01:32 by showing up and giving you a little smile. Focused in other areas. Yeah, like your other YouTube channel with Luke. Well, that's... You're putting more work into that these days than Supermega. I just think people need a place where the let's plays can roam free. You know we do the streams which is fine but people miss their let's plays.
Starting point is 01:01:55 And well I know I just wish you had told me like hey we should do more let's plays instead of just basically doing SuperMega 2.0 with Luke. It's not like SuperMega 2.0. We just watch Game Grumps and then commentate over their Let's Plays. We're not even playing the games, so it's not even the same thing. I knew you would bitch about it, and that's why I made it so different. I'm not bitching about it, dude. We're the number one place to go for commentary on the recent Game Grumps episode.
Starting point is 01:02:18 I just feel left out. That's all. Well, if they do Dream Course again, you can join in, maybe. Really? Yeah, or whatever game you would like them to play and then you can join in on those episodes I got a text Danny and and ask him to play maybe a certain game that I would really enjoy and then I can join In on the commentary you see but you know, I wonder how Aaron and Dan would react if I wonder how Aaron and Dan
Starting point is 01:02:44 would react if They find out that oh as a joke they started a new YouTube channel where they just Commentate over our videos and they've uploaded 24 of them so far But like we do it away. We're like you don't see we don't change anything We just download the video upload it in poor quality with our voices in the back and our voices are like we're all talking I get like yeah, the same. And we're all talking at like the same time. They're the same volume as like Aaron and Dan. I love the idea of downloading game grumps
Starting point is 01:03:11 and then putting our voice in, like we're there in the recording, like having fun with them. That's good. Like we cut out something that like Dan responds with and we include ourselves. We just cut Dan out and it's one of us saying the response or like whatever Dan was saying I Think that's a good video. Sorry. I had to cough. You okay? Yeah, I'm good. I just had to clear my throat a little bit
Starting point is 01:03:33 Drink some of that water man. There's no more. There's there's not a drop to drink anymore. Hey get a load of that You could have just sipped out of the cup dude, I got cooties or something. I just don't want to... Cheers. God, that's good water. That clears my whistle. That clears my whistle too. So the whistle is your lips, right? No, I've always thought the whistle was like your throat. I gotta wet my whistle. Because your whistle, right? No, I've always thought the whistle was like your throat. I gotta wet my whistle. Because your whistle, it's like your voice, you know? So you gotta wet your throat, wet your whistle. They gotta lick their lips.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Let me wet my whistle. Because you don't need water to wet your whistle if it's your lips. But don't people usually say wet my whistle with alcohol or is that just a made up thing in my head? I need to wet my whistle. No, I mean it's both. I think it just means you need something to drink.
Starting point is 01:04:28 But alcohol dehydrates you. I know. You might think you're getting hydrated because you're drinking liquid when you drink alcohol, but no. You're actually dehydrating yourself. You know what we should do? What? We should come out with a mouthwash that it just, it really does do what mouthwash typically
Starting point is 01:04:44 does which is nothing. At least for you. with a mouthwash that it just it really does do what mouthwash typically does which is nothing but uh for you I'm just kidding and whatever but we should have one that gives you like the after breath of like drinking a beer no we should do mints where just makes your breath smell like beer or cigarettes just like shit like that. Just mints that basically make your breath smell like shit. Have you ever wanted to have your breath smell like you just smoked a cigarette without actually smoking a cigarette?
Starting point is 01:05:15 We can call them the Tuckers. The Tuckers? Because Tucker doesn't shower? Or put on deodorant or brush his teeth. It's getting it's getting really out of hand or clip his nails He he saw That we had mentioned this on a previous podcast episode Yeah, nothing changed well nothing changed except he got a little he got a little attitude with me popped a little sass off
Starting point is 01:05:40 He goes he goes. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, I'm sure people really respect me as a person. And I said, well, they might if you put on some deodorant, buddy. Learned a little personal hygiene. And I said, Tucker, look, man, if you need to come over and I need to show you how to shower properly, we can do that.
Starting point is 01:06:00 We've done that already, though. We've scrubbed him down time and time again. But every time he yells and physically assaults us and throws us into the walls, and then we're the ones laying bleeding in the shower or bleeding on the floor. He made me slip that one time we were scrubbing him and I hit my head on the shower wall.
Starting point is 01:06:16 And he runs out butt ass naked into the hills of LA and we have to go chase after him and I'm done. I'm done with that responsibility. And I'm scared that when he's running away naked all scared if he gets arrested. Hit by a car. Oh that's even worse. Arrested, you know. No hit by a car.
Starting point is 01:06:32 All of these things come to mind when he escapes the house. Yeah. I guess it's like a little house. Yeah. We call it Tucker's little house. It's Tucker's little shack. Yeah. Tucker's little house.
Starting point is 01:06:43 And I don't get very close to it because you could smell from the outside. But God he's good with a Yeah. Tucker's little house. And I don't get very close to it, because you could smell from the outside. But god, he's good with a camera. That's the thing. So it's like, I'll put up with it. But those talented motherfuckers we know. Not at cleaning himself. No, not at cleaning his body.
Starting point is 01:06:55 But at camera work and coloring, as you said earlier, with crayons, markers. Finger paints. He does rely on stencils a good bit. Yes. Oh, I remember he did that really beautiful butterfly and we're like, Tucker, you did this all by yourself? Turns out it was just a stencil that he had just traced. Yeah. You know, it was only one color. It was just red with crayon. I was just impressed that he got the shape so accurate. He would
Starting point is 01:07:19 love those, what are those notebooks where they were kind of like padded in a way where you could color in between the fuzzy black parts. Coloring books? No. those notebooks where they were kind of like patterned in a way where you could color in between the fuzzy coloring books no oh where they're fuzzy so you're being a smartass again no no no no I'm speaking ahead I really thought you meant coloring books no I'm talking about this but I would know what a coloring book is called I'm talking about those like fuzzy they have like fuzzy black areas and you color within the white areas it is this but they're called something specific it is a coloring book but it's a specific brand or something do you not remember that they were popular like an
Starting point is 01:07:53 elementary no I don't remember if I if I saw it maybe I would may haps I would let me let me let me see that. Velvet- like the velvet coloring books. Velvet coloring books. Where it was like all like this stuff. Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! And you could like color it with a marker. I guess there was no- there was no actual- I thought like a-
Starting point is 01:08:16 I remember. There was like a popular company that like had a bunch of those books or shit like that. I feel like Lisa Frank would have- would have done that. I'm gonna look up Lisa- Yeah, Lisa Frank fuzzy book Lisa Frank yeah Book yeah, I could use a little bit of Lisa Frank's fuzzy book if you catch my drift 2004 Lisa Frank black velvet yeah white fuzzy pocket folder angel kitty told you Lisa Frank dude. I love Lisa Frank. You know what actually I thought about because I think of you don't remember these that's Lisa Frank
Starting point is 01:08:50 Yeah, yeah Dude, I honestly for the visual viewers who don't know what Lisa Frank is Luke throw up a picture of Lisa Frank Basically, I thought about How sick it would be if I got a full Lisa Frank back piece, like my full back tattooed like Lisa Frank, but maybe that's just stupid. But I, might be kinda cool. Regardless, I want a Lisa Frank tattoo. Neck tattoo.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Get the little cute little tiger, you know? You look fuckin' hot. Thanks man, with the rainbow butterflies. Fuck yeah. Make it a full chest tattoo. Like a Lisa Frank chest piece. That'd be pretty cool. Or like just circles in different colors that start from your nipple. I could uh just get a whole piece that looks like a coloring book. Like a whole
Starting point is 01:09:34 page. I have a coloring book on my chest and let you color it. Would you let me? Of course. With a tattoo gun? Yeah. For sure. I don't have any, I've never taken any tattoo lessons. You don them you just color inside the lines how hard can it be you know now? I'm gonna be honest I think the reason why I'm Why I love these things so much as I as a as a kid I as a young boy in South Carolina I didn't think it appropriate for me to color in these velvety Bright colored book you know what I mean? Like using the bright colored markers to make rainbow colors of... You were too scared.
Starting point is 01:10:11 You know, your stepdad would have cast judgment upon you. So I just drew stick figures at war. Yeah. Two different teams. And I realize it could look weird now because there were the white stick figures and then the black stick figures. At war with each other. Yeah, but that was only because I don't have any,
Starting point is 01:10:27 it was just a pencil, I didn't have any other color. I guess I could have shaded one gray or something. And it was nothing to do with, I wasn't imagining race. It wasn't a race war. It was just the different stick figure armies, the black stick figures and the white stick. Yeah, and if you just draw them with a pen or a pencil, you know, that's the easiest way to, you know.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Luckily it's not as bad as the comic I made when I was in second grade, or first grade. What was that? I got in a lot of trouble for it. I think I might have said this on a podcast once, but it was a character who had like a really cool, I modeled it after Spy Kids 3D, how they had those cool suits.
Starting point is 01:11:03 It was about one of those who had a, he had a really cool one of those suits, and it was black. And I was taking Spanish for the first time, and I wanted to make it more creative. Was it Boy? Yes. Ha!
Starting point is 01:11:18 That was the name of the comic I made, was the word black in Spanish, followed by boy. Was it in class? No, but my friends, my friends, one of my best friends in like first grade was Puerto Rican and his mom would help out with the class so she spoke Spanish. She saw me coloring it and goes, Matthew.
Starting point is 01:11:37 And I was like what? And she took it from me and she was so upset and she showed the teacher. And I did not understand why it was an issue. So I changed it to Verde Boy. But she explained to me that- Green boy? Yeah, I made a suit green.
Starting point is 01:11:51 But she explained to me that it was inappropriate that I called it that and I didn't understand why because they didn't tell me why it was inappropriate. I just wasn't allowed to do that. That just sounds like you were you were you were trying to Show initiative and you're in the in the brutal South Carolina Education system you're trying to show initiative in race relations. Yes. I'm you know I'm over here trying to spread multicultural tivity a
Starting point is 01:12:19 Mixing it with art. I mean this is this is great. This is not the South the Spanish language right right right boy I'm guessing was was a Spanish boy no I don't I don't think I made him Hispanic just a white boy I mean it was just a I just drew a boy yeah with like a cool black suit and he's called black boy I wish what's a black boy to green boy I wish that I had that comic somewhere She might have actually taken it and like gotten rid of it Disgusting I wished it's like I wish I had that kids dreams and aspirations Now but now that we have a following you know and they face and and they support us through patreon fuck the second book Why don't we just we can make Verde boy, too?
Starting point is 01:13:03 Well go back to the original idea and make it into a full-length motion picture not a bad idea huh would it be in Spanish no he just thought it he just thought it was cool because it's a black suit no how about well he thought black boys sound a little too racially motivated so he changed it to the Spanish version So then it's different, you know Not black suit boy. We still want to go with black boy Well, dude, I mean, it's my childhood idea
Starting point is 01:13:33 I don't do you really want to put your fingers in it and change it Verde lad. Come on Now you're trying to slack lad I Think the issue is We'll work on it.
