Welcome to sad boys a podcast about feelings and other things also. I'm Jarvis. I'm Jordan Jacob is annoying. Yeah Yeah This is like a Doppler effect right you're like well does uncle no no Yeah, sounds like you're doing exactly Yeah, that's what are the odds who could have thought you could have predicted that oh I want to address something up front. I'm wearing shorts and my thighs are out. Go ahead. It's summer!

It's summertime. It's summer, we're I think anticipating a storm in LA today. Yeah, a large storm. Mate, what's going on? Where's the sun, I would promise! It does feel like we're getting like, a series of trials. Like elemental trials. Locusts next

So I had to address that the other thing I have to address before I forget Who sings before I forget? Oh Yeah, my mom before I am a man Don't know man anymore understand Don't know if I can anymore understand I don't know if I can before I forget Before I forget them It is! Yeah, okay, cool Why did I forget that?

I was crazy for Slipknot, yes I was What? Classic Snibla fan I was crazy for Slipknot, yes I was I was losing my bean listening Um, so before I forget, by slipknot, I wanted to say that, have you watched Dragon Ball Dima? No.

I started it and I've been avoiding it. Cause the, well, I wasn't sure if it was the art style or the tone or not tone, but just like the screenshots I saw like weren't so enticing. We've had our heart broken too many times. Right, and so I am, but you know, to honor the late Akira Toriyama, this being the last project he worked on,

I was like, I gotta get in there, you know? And I did see that it was on Netflix, and I don't know if there's a dub or anything yet, but it was on Netflix with Sub, which I'm perfectly fine watching. The problem is I need to lock in and read subtitles. And... And right now we're both

in the process of screen maxing. We are screen maxing. I am every activity I need to have an AFK RuneScape task going and Goku wait I'm busy No literally so I have on my RuneLite, which is like the RuneScape client, I have it has a notification feature where game events can send notifications, like when your character becomes idle if you're doing like a task. So I would literally be doing tasks where like it could focus the client and just jump in front of my face and then I could like

do the thing it needed to do and then go back to reading the subtitles. Optimizing your screen maxing? I watched about three episodes last night. I actually Where is all the boom meter? I'm to give it boom, boom, boom. Oh, I see an up and upturned kind of, I don't know. We're going to see where it goes. I got, it's got a few questionable booms cause they got to see where it goes, but I'm having a fun time. And we talked a little bit more about it. I spoiled episode one for Jordan premise wise. That'll be on nights at patreon.com slash sad boys.

Um, mostly cause we wanted to just start with the title title topic. And, uh, I want to spare you the details. Um, so that's our, uh, patron exclusive podcast where it's basically just like this, except for more. No obligation. Get in there if you fancy. Um, but we were having a meeting about what we were going to talk about. And Jacob brought up this

genre of video or someone brought it up. And then Jacob was like, I can find a hundred of these by tomorrow. And we're like, what? There was a moment, I don't even remember the exact phrasing, but some, Jacob sometimes would just say something that is not a joke and still cracks me up. Cause Jacob, you make me laugh a lot, but some, the funniest thing is when you just say something extremely dry and it was something related to funny the videos. And he said something in the vein of like, yeah, there's a bunch of people doing this

for some reason. People think this is important. Some people think this is important. I think our jobs have essentially made it so that Jacob and I have a hobby of collecting weird shit online. By the way, the list that Jacob has here of fake soldiers... It's a Doctor C expo. I was going to say... I literally was about to say that! I was literally about to say it's where I wouldn't eat green eggs and ham.

In the hospital, on a plane, on the swings. Oh wow. Following her in the park. Anastasia did all the hard work for this one. Oh following her in the park. Okay Did all the hard work for this one? Oh, yeah, so shout out anesthesia Don't shout out me shout out to Shannon one of our researchers out of Shannon credit removed shout out credit taken away Extracted and given to shit. I ran into Shannon the other day you ran out of bar. I ran into Shannon

What a what a delight. That's actually a great thing about living in LA for a while. You just run into people and it's fun. Shannon was our friend first, too. You know, we were like, hey, want to help? People say it's a city. It's just a big old town. Some say the city is just a big old town. Some people just say.

Almost definitionally, yes. I'll say. They do say that. I think many, almost definitionally, yes. I'll say that. I do say that. I think we're all on the same page. So let's lay the groundwork for what these videos are. Because when it was first described to me, I was concerned that we could be making light of a very real experience that people have,

and a very heartwarming experience that people have, which is those videos where, you know, your husband's out, like on, uh, is deployed, you know, in the armed services, doing war, and then, uh, and then they come back and a lot of times it'll be like a surprise video and their significant other or their kids. It's very heartwarming. It's like those. And then videos where like a dog is reunited with its owner are like,

you know, things that will bring a tear to my eye. Yeah. It really is one of those like it supersedes my feelings about the military to like, it almost feels like propaganda where it's like catching me and going like that's sweet. We should It's propaganda for never having them leave home by the way. I want to preface this by saying the reason why those videos are so heartwarming is honestly because having a family member in the military is extremely hard.

Yeah, absolutely. And being in the military away from your family and you know, it is so emotional and I think, you know, military families just they have a rough time, you know, military families, just, they have a rough time, you know, because you're like, you don't know if your family member's coming home, first of all. And second of all, they're just away a lot, you know? So it's like- With a constant like, ooh, what's this phone call about?

Yeah. Oh, someone's at the door. And also- So we love those videos as a society because they are very heartwarming it's like so there's so much love there and a little like the videos of somebody like coming out of arrivals to a family they haven't seen for a while and they got like a sign yeah human so that's not what we're making what we're making fun of is people who are imitating them for profit. Hell yeah.

And that is like, that has happened with every possible genre that can make money for as long as I can remember. It's remarkable it's taken this long for this. This seems like a pretty- It is, that but also it's like we had to reach peak like cynicism to get to this I feel. With post irony though. Yeah. This is just like, well, whatever. I've already taken photos of my baby and posted them.

I feel like these types of videos started on like Snapchat. Like the Snapchat. Ooh, the Snapchat discover page. Discover page. Whoa. That I always forget exists. Always the worst things you've ever seen. The worst content you've ever laid your eyes on

and then it migrated to YouTube shorts and like Instagram. I've got to peek back at the snap because we've been there before and it was a scary place. I heard a rumor that well I think that the reason why Snapchat has always had like the worst kind of content. I heard a rumor at one point that they were like giving like huge sums of money to What who whichever creator had the most like engagement or like they did have a program that you could Basically, it was almost like a contest. Yeah of like you could win like a million dollars or whatever So I'm getting the most views. Yeah, and so people were It was essentially monetizing a getting the most views. Yeah. And so people were just pumping out.

It was essentially monetizing a race to the bottom. Yeah. And there were, of course, right away, ethics kind of flew out the window. Yeah, exactly. Like, hey, under the right circumstances, could have been me. That's always going to happen in these unfettered algorithms

where you are optimizing engagement over all else, which is why if you create a Twitter account right now and don't heavily prune your feed, you're going to get snuff films in your feed without even like... It will default to... If you don't log into YouTube and you're not on a familiar familiar IP, the first thing that happens is like Jimmy Kimmel interview. Like it's the most baby monkey. And then it's like, Oh, crazy clips. I wonder what they post. It's like, watch a guy loses.

Clips that go hard. Decapitation five. From a producer's perspective, we got told many times, uh, that if we started posting on Snapchatchat we could make really good money and and that's just from like sort of the ad sense of that equivalent that snapchat does and and Jarvis and I were always just like We don't want to do I'm I'm so bad at

Making money it is the worst dude. I I it sucks Dude, I'm so bad at making money. It is the worst, dude. I, it sucks. Our lives if we supported sports gambling. Me on a yacht. So much money. Dude, just signing up for kick or something. Yeah, dude, me on a yacht, you skiing behind it.

Oh, dude. Peeps face down in the water. And I think we could get to run for president at a certain point and win. They have to let me try. Let's watch this first hospital video. Face down and I think we could get to run for president at a certain point in the way Let's watch this first hospital video Horrible sentence by the way. Yeah, okay, so big belly fake belly a hundred percent Yes, yes, it doesn't even like sheen the way it's supposed to she's like covering the cropline with one arm Yes, yes, they they definitely her, put your arm there.

It's a squish baby. Just flesh squish baby. That's a good idea. I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me. I'm saying I can really go home. That's Jordan by the way when he like realizes he forgot to buy groceries. There's no one to save me. That's Jordan by the way when he like realizes he forgot to buy groceries Coming in saying I don't have anything Want to see me go do orange take on Bellator

Good she was filming somebody to have somebody to know somebody to have somebody to hold He just leaves quietly she never notices just know him Yeah, I thought it wouldn't be really long Well her belly's like starting to fall off. Oh, careful. Oh, careful. I'm a human being, beep boop. It would have been better if he harmonized with her, right? Yeah, that and also, how respectful of him to let her finish that stand. Yeah, she was having fun.

And to have earlier come in and set the camera up for her, presumably with like a fake disguise on as a doctor or something. So he did like some sort of like Metal Gear Solid-esque stealth section where he walked in set up the camera without her. She like happened to look over and be like, when the day bleeds and the night falls, and then he's like sneaking by her. When she- When she-

He stops moving in the box? Yeah, he's like, there's a box. Must've just been the wind. Or maybe perhaps she set up her phone to record herself singing while she was pregnant. And he just happened to sneak in and surprise her one minute and one second after she started singing. Really lucky, I would say.

So that they could monetize the video. Right, that makes sense. I was thinking about how genius this is from a content strategy standpoint because You only need one shot you don't need any Script except for oh, baby. I'm so surprised your home or whatever green shirt and camo pants in a fake baby bump And a hospital set that you can probably rent in Los Angeles for $30 an hour. I have all of this stuff at my house right now.

You live in a photo realistic emergency room. Yeah. You sleep in a CAT scan. Yeah. Yeah, you just go in and it scans you in. That's the sleep of my life. That is so funny. But also-

It's just a bit z-ed and so on. What do the comments say this is always my question are people in on it breaking so emotional so you didn't you were singing face so you didn't hear him closing the door well obviously she was singing and he was stealth trained the guys a seal I mean I don't want to tell you nice voice good Nice voice good the man didn't reply. I miss you, too Yeah, we didn't the man didn't reply. I miss you, too, bro. It was funny He's just like belly flopped on the baby. Yeah tears all over. Oh, it made me cry because very emotional comment reserved

Oh, that's funny. You save your place in line. So if you later wanna have a comment. That's great. All right, that was awesome. I gotta say, I have really been getting into a smiling while crying emoji or something completely inappropriate. Like what do you want for dinner? Crying, smiling emoji, no reply, 20 minutes.

Does this channel, oh, this channel is called At Surprise Coming Home. Is it just these videos? Oh? They oh Hey, some of these are that one of the far left there that that one looks like they paid for ads That's the same belly Also, why are they wearing their army fatigues like at the hospital to the because it's don't sing the way you Right and no name tag or anything.

No like wristbands to say that you're like a guest of the hospital. Jarvis, as someone who was not in the military, it shows, okay? Okay. This is like the most cynical thing in the world. What is that? It's just these videos with the same camera and sets and costumes. This episode of Sad Boys is sponsored by Squarespace.

What the fuck? If you just turn around and you had work and been going on all these these months, almost a year, you wouldn't have a good attitude either. What?

Dude. This is like the opposite of these videos where everybody's bitter about it. This is a, I think you should leave actor energy. This is like a Tim and Eric extra. Were they're breaking the fourth wall in that? Dude, three hearts for this one for sure. So he just got home and he's already met. He walked in, didn't say hello. And she wasn't surprised.

She wasn't surprised. In fact, she was so expecting it. She set up a makeshift blind box for her baby surprise. Why does it need to be? I mean, look, if there is a big surprise and my partner's going to surprise me and they're specifically hiding their belly, I think I can crack the code on that one. Also, I love that they're using the identical belly in my mind, because I doubt we will ever see someone with a varied skin tone. Even though it isn't a perfect match, I can tell that...

It kind of looks like the tip of a thumb. You know what I mean? It's got like finger texture. Yeah, you have a featureless belly. It looks like the box is wrapped, right? So it looks so she's pretending to hold a present, but she's not holding it so flush against her belly that he couldn't see the. That there's no. Yeah, this is doesn't care. He also came in so upset. It's like, oh, great. I miss the army. You just return from war. You'd be upset. Oh, great. I see.

You just returned from war. You'd be upset. Why do flowers? Also, I love that it's all everyone's cheating towards the camera. Like it's like on stage when you're like you're having a conversation like this. But but Jordan, I haven't seen you in years. This is why I never came to your dinner parties. And this is why our chest is facing the crowd. What a joker He's a joker the jokes around

But I'm the queen he left in town All right, let's see how this ends is She is he gonna okay a is he gonna show? Continue to show no emotion when she reveals that she has a baby? Bump. And also, they haven't had any communication whatsoever, by the way. This is also the thing. So they've not communicated.

She's kept a surprise that he got her pregnant. And she's very pregnant. He said he's been gone almost a year. He better be have gone just under nine months. I remember when I left, I don't know, 14 months ago-ish? Yeah, and it's like, wait a minute, the math isn't mapping on this, actually. He's been holding it in for that time. Right. She's been covering the box.

So B, he's gonna completely change expression and be really excited about the new baby. Or C, she's never gonna reveal it in the videos not gonna resolve that don't realize that this is fake are giving hearts and like warm feelings do you think maybe I should remove the books and a heart is exposed or D everyone explodes I would love that. I like the option. And it's like one of the shitty PNG. Let's see what happens. This does feel like, you know how people make fun of how

Facebook antis get tricked by AI media? This is like a step below that and still printing engagement. It's like when you look at an AI image and it's so incredibly glossy that you can tell, this is so clearly a fake location. Right. Or like at least not a hospital

so that when they try and do hospital, I'm like, but I've been to a hospital. I know what they look like. The funny thing about the hospital is like, okay, what hospitals have anatomy posters. Let's put them on every single wall and door. Well, so that when I'm inspecting a chart, I go like, where's the skeleton again?

Oh, under the skin. Okay, let's see, let's see which option it was. Okay, simple. You'll really enjoy if you open up the box and get on with it, okay? Okay. Okay. One.

Whoa. What is that? What? Hey, what the hell? What is that? What's wrong with your stomach? Dude, trick answer. He doesn't know. It looks like a medicine ball. She's like just holding.

It's got, I think it's made of memory foam. It has like a knee in there. This is, this is me at physical therapy. Like I'm just carrying the medicine ball. Yeah, maybe she's, that's why she's at the hospital. Pick the cushion up. Well, is she even at the hospital? Cause like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like,

she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like, she's like,'m just carrying the medicine ball Yeah, maybe she's that's why she's at the hospital pick the cushion up. Well, is she even at the hospital cuz like She's like I mean maybe she's in the lobby. This could be in their house Maybe well, I was like this is also be like a college conference room. You guys have you guys have seen my house

You know how I have the couch in the direct center of the room facing a corner with nothing in it Well, it's facing the camera that's always there. Oh that's when I'm singing. Where's my husband? Where is he? I keep forgetting I don't have a husband. Oh he's at war. Yeah. Does this guy ever stop being a jerk? He's only got a few seconds to not be me. I mean what is that is the funniest answer. What is that? What the hell? Is it on? You've been cheating? No. Cheating? Oh, Duh Man., so it does it. Oh! Wow. It was option C. I don't think maybe they watched the video.

No, not really, but... Why are they liking it so much? Because it's cool. Well, because it happened. It's starting to look to me like bot engagement. Yeah. Can I ask a really... I have no words.

There's not a single word from user 97432. I would not like my wife in the hospital. I would not like her on a plane. And if she's pregnant, ain't no thing. What is not mine? I've been gone for more than nine months. What is that is such a funny way to what is that cheating? Do you binge? Like there's this like, oh, it's him again.

Oh, dude, he's got a lot of wives. OK. Can you imagine there's this like, oh it's him again. Oh dude, he's got a lot of wives. Okay. Can you imagine? What is this like framing? It's like a picture in picture. Oh what the hell? Looks like tiny guys. And it's like reminding you that you're watching Coming Home. Because that's the coming home is the it's the profile picture for this TikTok account. Is that a? It is a different one. Yes.

So there's more than one account that's exclusively coming home content. Wait a second. So this guy is now on two separate accounts. Wait, wait, wait. What is him again? I want to watch the ones with this guy because I'm so curious about if his acting varies at all. Look, man. Look, look. Okay. So this is a stolen tip-off. Oh, look.

Because why would this be reversed? This is like so distracting. How does this have so much engagement? I feel like the algorithm would smite this down simply for it being completely indiscernible what's going on. The frame type like a vignette and then the watermark I guess? I don't know what else to call it. Yeah, the floating watermark. To scale. So these...if I... That's his son.

The soldiers are touching this guy's hair or something? He's like trying to lift his headphones off. Cause he was singing, question mark? Well I think they're trying to like get his attention. And so he'll look back at them and be like, oh, but he's just talking to them without looking at them. And that will go on for the full five minutes until he finally turns around at the end.

And there'll be two seconds of, of oh and then it'll cut off. That's because everyone's on their damn phone right? Uh huh. By the way. I've got a phone in tight living in the moment. That's not true. By the way this is hashtag coming home hashtag come back home hashtag soldiers coming home hashtag coming home soldier hashtag surprisehtag army? Hashtag returns, which probably gives you

a bunch of Amazon issues. Hashtag Navy life, hashtag USA army military. Should I start tagging anything I post with USA army military? That's the official name. And surprise, surprise. Surprise, surprise. Surprise, mother fucker.

I'll come clean, by the way. And I tricked a lot of people, and I do apologize for that. I'm trying to lie a little less. I tricked a lot of people and I do apologize for that. I'm trying to lie a little less. There's a couple of years ago where I was telling everyone that I used to be a Navy SEAL. That I did. I made that up. No offense, but that's very obvious. Wait, how could this has to be a compilation, right? I'm so curious. No, this will go.

I've seen this. No, but I've seen. You recorded this. You've many similar ones. I've you've seen this no, but I've you recorded this Many similar ones. Why have you seen many similar because these Come home no, I've just seen this shit, and you all it's always five to ten minutes long And no matter how far you should get they're doing the same shit. He will not look back until so It's not pulling his clothes Mystified okay so no so no this is all recorded on a one shotgun mic on the camera 20 feet away The music is mixed above the dialogue none of this is how does this have so many views and likes

How is it even watchable for someone that's what I mean scrolling and likeable I think getting someone to stop because it is so abrasive Maybe it's people like getting stunned to the point where their hands fly off the phone. They're like, ah, this is like a video that like plays on your phone while you like try to get it from behind the couch. Yeah. And you're like, God, I just want this to stop. I can't get to it. At that time, I think I talked about it. Let's just jump to the end, Jay. Well, just like, can you scan through it like you were doing? Oh, my God.

He'll keep messing with his headphones. Who's headphones off again? And he will keep not looking back at him even though he wants to get on him. Oh my god. He'll keep messing with his headphones. Who's headphones off again? And he will keep not looking back at him even though he wants to get on him. Oh that's insane. He's wearing headphones. You can't say stuff to him. What is the message here? Did he wet William? Did he just wet William? Yeah. He's turning his head around like an owl. This guy. Put your belt on. This guy is a poor man's Lamar and Morris. This guy is a poor man's Lamar and Morris. They... oh my god, turn around man.

Turn around. Wait, what did he say to make him intensive? Red shirt guy. Oh. You ever said that in black? Joshua Cole. Wait! What? What? Is this... oh, real? Oh

This one is real so So this is like his friend or something the and then he they were somehow boarded a plane No, I never used any of his peripheral vision was so locked in on music, not even a visual medium, that he- Well, kids these days. Kids these days, right. He didn't have an iPad. Everyone not living in their phone. In their headphones.

Or whatever. No headphones in sight. I feel like if somebody tries to wet willy me, I turn around and look at them. Also, look who's beside him. Oh my god. How did he not notice? So wet willy me I turn around and look at look who's beside him How did dude this is like that count how many times they bounce the basketball Hey man, sometimes there's empty seats on planes They don't have to convict so with the audio listeners

the dad air quotes and his friend air quotes from the army air quotes are crashing this guy in front of them trying to get his attention and then right next to the kid is a Mannequin that's dressed in disguise. I guess masked up That's like how they do disguises in Marvel movies, but you just have a baseball cap When you hear the lack of white noise like that there would be on a plane It's like so obvious that they're on one of those rental sets But then it's more obvious when they stand up and they have so much freedom of movement Oh, yeah, and no one anywhere no one anyway. Well, there's a guy sat next to him No one's going to the bathroom.

For five minutes, it's perfectly lit by the way. I feel like, oh there's no windows by the way on this plane. No it's private. No one does, huge gap in the side of the plane. It's a Boeing. It's a Boeing so that just fell off in the air yeah. Yeah they're the only people left on the plane

after everyone else was suctioned out of the door. What are the comments on this one? Are they just gonna be hard eyes again. This isn't real. There's a doll next to him. Imagine if that was how we found out. Had to fast forward. Hi, Bo. They were taking forever.

Who else went board when they saw the doll? Dude, I went board. I just went board. I got so tired, dude. I bet you won't. The foot FT level. Oh, I bet I won't. They're right. I didn't. I'm tired of being single. Oh, I bet I won't.

They're right. I didn't. I'm tired of being single. Same sister. What the fuck? That was one of the first. Same brother. Oh wait, can we scroll up?

There was something. Can you like the one that's I'm tired of being single? He didn't know his dad's voice. Is it his dad? He didn't know his dad's voice right off. I'm guessing it's supposed to be his dad. That little kid from the previous video grew up so fast. Or they don't know each other that guy just look in love the army

That guy that guy's having a crazy day. He flew back home saw his son on the plane But chance by chance somehow managed to surprise him saw his girlfriend Accuser of being of cheating of cheating the mannequin his son is taking his mannequin boyfriend home. Oh What so many reveals to this guy. He had to go somewhere where you can get like a really good mannequin. That would be what a double whammy. If you're like a kind of like a trad dad, and you have to get the idea, like figure out the idea of like, oh, my son's gay, that's OK, but oh, that's like a big surprise.

And then you find out it's also a mannequin. You got to prioritize the mannequin thing. I feel like I want you to meet someone My mannequin boyfriend Rudolph Oh imagine they Imagine they have like a lost moment where like they hit incredible turbulence and the fucking mannequin flies out of the seat and just explodes into a million pieces and the fucking mannequin flies out of the seat and just explodes into a million pieces. RIDDLEFIRT! RIDDLEFIRT! NO!

His shards flying out of the door. And then his dad's like, son it's gonna be okay, and he's like, DAD?! I don't have time right now. I have to go get the shards of my boyfriend. Yeah, I have to put my boyfriend back together again.

His head fluffed like a Lego figurine. Oh, look who it is. This man is busy as hell. Oh, all of these videos are reversed by the way. Oh look who it is. This man is busy as hell. All of these videos are reversed by the way. His shirt says Davis but backwards and I'm a genius because I can read backwards. So you turn the phone around. Turn the monitor around.

So you could see transparently through. I was trying to wonder what was happening to the part above her elbow and then I realized it's the watermark again. She's jacked. We should guess what this video is going to be. So he brought that box in and I think there's a head in the box. It's seven. Yeah, it's a box, but not in the fun way. I think it's supposed to be like a cake that's like, I'm home.

What if it's a pregnant stomach? I thought it was going to be a cake, but this is like a corrugated cardboard box, which is like way more heavy duty than a normal like it's a really good That he found when he was And they put no air holes in the box. What if it's a big box of improvised explosive device? I found this on the road What if it's just all the MREs he didn't eat? That's all I would bring to me when he would come back It's cool tiny weird food

I there's a child you're like, oh a tiny Tabasco have you ever That's not food. I do like that. I do that's why we have the tiny Tabasco up there Have you seen that we're not gonna do this right now because I'm trying to stay on task doing my best but have you seen the MRE like food review channel? No. There's a guy who just eats MREs and like reviews them. Okay, I have to send that to my dad.

I feel like that's up your alley. This one's five minutes also, so do we not see till the very end? Let's watch a little bit. Oh, okay. Oh, he's leaving. He's checking out the post. What? What are you doing? What the hell is he doing?

He just did like an NPC returning to its like primary location. His pathfinding's all messed up. He's being a soldier. He's standing at attention. But what, in the hospital? I saw a soldier the other day trying to open a door, but his animation didn't make it. Wait, is this a... Her partner's not coming home. Yeah, that's not her partner.

Oh, the bear is. No. Oh, that's so sad. Oh, no. Why is she in the, that's so sad. Oh no! Why is she in the hospital? She doesn't have a fake pregnancy. She had a baby. Oh. No, she had her appendix out.

Oh. She's fine. Why did they let him in here? Why did they just wait until she got discharged? No, while she's sick she has to know that her partner's dead. I asked them to do her hair before. Is that a bowling pin next to the bear? Yeah, that's how he died.

He's like a canteen, right? Oh, a canteen. Daniel, uh, playing football. These are his possessions. Why would they give her his army-issue canteen? Why would they give you his army-issue teddy bear? Speak up, love. I don't know who's making these videos, and I don't know why they're making these videos. So where's the original? But one thing that has not changed and it's just pissing me off is that the music is mixed so god damn loud and they have no, none of their actors are mic'd. So it's like, just turn the shit up and like, there's no excuse for this.

I think the reason is probably whatever the original source of this is might be audible. They steal it, drag and drop MP3 onto timeline, publish. Here, I've got a note for you to read. I just want you to go ahead and read it out loud. Look at this photograph! Every time I do it makes me laugh! My husband exploded. Tryna be so proud!

He died every single piece. I found him on a plane. He was a big corpse. Tiny bear and a fox! And there was a mannequin. I'm a head sexor. Something to dog name Fox! Jesus Christ. That song gets weird. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I'd dive in her cervix. No! There's a lot like that. Sorry, no, go ahead. Go ahead. I just can't, every time you say that, or every time someone says that, I think of that being a real line in a real 2Chan song.

That is so funny. I mean, it is, yeah, it's a fucking stupid system that ruins lives. But more often than not, the people joining are like at 18 years old get like have the army come to their career fair and they don't feel like they have prospects in life and so they sign up for something not knowing fully what they're signing up for. Do you one direction and then potentially retirement for the rest of your life after like a small... Or like an ability to pay for college through the GI bill or something. That was my dad signed up because he got his high school girlfriend pregnant, my mom, and wanted to go to college. So as far as I can hear from the thing, it sounds like she's reading a letter that just says like, long time no see.

It's me. I'm still like, I miss you. Yeah. I can't wait to see you. Love being alive. Yeah. Oh, I died. Ouch. Ouch. What was that? I wonder if it truly is just like a five minute video of her like grieving her lost partner, or if it's like a fake out and then he'll appear at the end.

And he'll be like, just kidding. Wait, that would be good. That would be so cool. What if it's like, I'm leaving here in in a few hours. I can't wait. This is how you remind me of what I really am. Waiting for you for a thousand years. I've been waiting for you for a thousand years.

She's reading like an Animal Crossing character. How the hell am I supposed to know what she's reading? Oh, there was one part that was really funny and then she cried. Oh no, she's crying now. No, she's happy and she's crying. It's like, did you hear the one about the cow with no legs? Yeah, it was like, I've heard the interrupting cow and then it's written, boo. She's like, no, I didn't. Oh, well done.

Oh, you got me, got my ass. It's a script, including her lines. Oh no, now she's really crying. Oh no. What does it say when she does that? This bear is full of my ashes. We'll never know because the music's too loud. The watermark bouncing around is really funny. Oh, it's going to hit you, look out!

It's covering the letter. What is she saying? Why is she reading it aloud? Just for the benefit of this guy. Yeah, the soldier wants to hear. Well, okay, well, here's the thing. If this is a letter about him dying, did he write like did he die of a disease until he had time to write a letter or did he die in?

I don't think this is just a I miss you letter. All right. Let's I'm curious now. That bear's staring at her. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. She's going through. Oh, it's a little army bear. It's his. Oh, you can't wear that.

Stolen power. So wait in the letter. Wait, can you back up? It's his. You can't wear that. Stolen power. So in the letter. Wait, can you back up? Does the letter say if you're reading this like I'm dead or something? Yeah, I'm not even joking. I'm like, what can you do? The music is louder.

Oh, I wish I could read that. Can't wear that. That's don't know. Don't take that off right now. Oh, no, the bear has an army shirt. That is a straight up build a bear, by the way. Yeah, it's just like a soldier. It's like so funny because like this is more disrespectful to the troops than anything.

It's like if yes. Yeah, if you're committed to like the troops as a- Wait, you're not- don't- what? Uh, oh a baby? Oh wait, oh he was gonna propose? A boxed baby. I was gonna say like why are- wait there's no- There's a ring in the canteen?

Oh he was doing a little trick? That's funny. Yeah what if he's like, I'm not really dead! I'm still, to be honest, not sure that he's dead. Well also. She's doing an ARG. When they give you those flags when your like, you know, military loved one dies, it's after like, it's not like he had that flag on him. He didn't hide a ring box in that flag.

Hey, sending you my bulletproof flag I tend to wear. Oh no! I'm reeling at the fact, imagine going to build a bear and you make this bear and you put a little military shirt on it and the person stuffing your bear is like, oh, is this for like, do you have family in the middle? They're like, no, we're making a TikTok about pretending a military family member died. There I think quite like a black dude profile pick with the name white

and then the American America. Oh, and then Africa, I believe. Second, oh yeah. Africa at the world where it's rotated to Africa because there's different world emojis. Hey peeps, you can look like you got a build a bear owned. Oh my god, wait, can you scroll up actually? No, I'm pretty sure I have that exact Build-A-Bear without the loop. Isn't it weird that that's Gerard World and then Sleazy World and then White King with the world emoji? I'm starting to think these are bots. Scratching my chin.

So maybe these aren't popular and no one is actually watching them except for us. So I don't particularly care about stolen valor as a thing generally, right? It's whatever, it's just fucking, it's destroying the world. As far as content like this, which is just like, it's just predicated on manipulating someone and, you know, making fake content for purely cynical reasons. My lizard brain finds it really gross. But how do we feel? Is that reasonable or does it not really matter? I mean, I could see some like, you know, older person who has like a child in the military being like, oh, this, I love this content.

Like, you know. I think the issue that I have with Stolen Valor is similar to, not exactly the same, but similar to the issue I have with prank videos, where you're exploiting the goodwill of others. And giving someone a reason not to extend that goodwill is like shitty. Cause like makes the world, it makes the world a more callous place in my, in my view. I guess as far as like the patriotism of stolen Valor, I don't care.

But as far as the like trivialization, that's kind of, cause like people, you might catch somebody watching one of these and thinking like, yeah, my family never like didn't come home. And then it takes on this sinister flavor of, oh, it feels weird posting something like this with the number of views that getting guaranteed, right? That absolutely somebody watching this that has had that experience. That's where for me, it starts to, it tickles a yuck. It yucks a yum, but I couldn't really explain why. I don't know who this is a yum for in reality because I'm not yet convinced

that this isn't just entirely bought it. Yeah, it does seem extra bought. But it does feel like it would be hard for TikTok not to like, I'm like, how much truly exclusively bought of content exists on TikTok? I don't know. I feel like they'd have to,

they would lose so much money not being good at solving that problem. So you would expect, like they're not incentivized to have bots. Similar to how YouTube is incentivized to have bots because that's money out of their pocket. So I'm like, if you just follow the dollar, like they were incentivized to fix this.

Yeah, this is kind of, I mean, this is Twitter's biggest issue right now is that it's dead internet. So they, I mean, they also can't monetize it because they keep promoting like Nazi but heads a hundred people. Okay, well, I don't want to watch this. I do, I'm thinking about like the kind of feel good content that like boomers send each other on Facebook. Right. Okay.

Like the hyper real AI image of like, for example, the LA fires. There was like tons of AI generated images of firefighters saving people from burning buildings and shit. It's just like, what the fuck are you doing? Well, and Jarvis and I have made videos about people, like it's this same kind of thing where people are making these

like fake videos where an abused woman gets saved by a flight attendant, right? And it's, it's like a pretty common thing. It's also fucked up because so many people think it's real. Yeah. You know? And that's where it does like the people who do bomb prank. Oh, like the worst pranks. I remember, like at the peak of like, what's going on, invaders? Today, we're invading somebody's privacy. There's a prank that the key is one of all of those was always the like

going to the hood, right? Because it's oh, yeah, dog whistling to like, I'm going to the hood cause it's so scary. Right. But we're not going to say it out loud. I find that a lot of the, not these ones explicitly, at least not the ones we've watched so far, this kind of fake content, because it exists to engage. It's kind of an arms race and of, and always leads to coming home to my black wife. Oh, she's cheating on me blackly.

Like it's it always ends up in the most offensive, like, oh, because you guys had to do better than the one that was normalish. Yeah, it's like it's like escalating, but like without it's just escalating for the sake of it. But no moral interest. Yeah, it's just like turn it turn it up. And then they're like, for the sake of it with no moral interest. Yeah It's just like turn it turn it up and then they're like even the volume turn it up On the swing I go see on the swings. I wonder if it's longer than a minute Like army. Oh my god. He just fucking rolled. He just flew out of Boeing

Why is this man in scrubs pushing her? It is of the hospital. Oh my God, there it is, yeah. And he's trying to deliver the baby. He has to tactically invade the hospital. Dun dun dun dun. Like it's gonna be a... This is literally me playing Medicare for Salad. That's so funny.

Dude, that's crazy. Army has their returns now. Is this surprised by pregnant wife? Well, because here's the thing. I don't think people, who is making these is my question. Also, did he not know his wife was pregnant? Oh, maybe he's surprised and then it's gonna be,

he's gonna be like, you cheat. He's gonna say, cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater, whatever. Well, that is a classic end to a prank video. The misdirection. Maybe Scrubs guy is her new new is her baby daddy oh wouldn't that be romantic yeah given birth and you fall in love with the OBGYN he deps her up oh my god again we can't play the it's see you again now by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa

He pushes her so hard she flies out the baby flies out That's why they have swings at a hospital yeah to help move it's a momentum thing. That's what people forget Oh, yeah, he's gonna get the swing and then she's gonna be like well if he's pushing me who's driving the car Oh, no didn't really occur yet. That is pretty funny. Wait! She's gonna be like, wait a minute, if you're, then who's pushing me? I do feel like every real one I've seen, people have such an emotional response that these people aren't even trying to act.

There's a- Like, I'm gonna slowly walk up to you so as not to dislodge my fake pregnant belly. There's not there's like a nuance to this kind of performance, right? Where like even the ones where they get home and then the dog goes crazy, the dog always has a moment where it's like adjusting to the smell and stuff and then goes crazy. Yeah, this is almost like they're forgetting to do that part where it's like when people are really surprised by stuff, they stop like, there's like calculations happening, like is this a dream, like what's going on? Instead they're just like, yo, my husband, what's up?

What's up? All right, are the comments just gonna be like heart eye emojis again? That's a lot of likes. Two years? So who's the, wait, who's gone for two years? We couldn't hear that. You see the reason why I buy data instead of cars? Okay, hold on. No, wait. We're not

me shouting, whoa, don't squish the baby. Wait, can pregnant women have hugs? No hugs for pregnant ladies. You see the reason why I buy data instead of cars? Check that one reply. Please let me know it helps. That's Mark Zuckerberg. Oh, come on. Oh, it is funny. Yeah. Laughing face.

It's romantic. Wow. Shit. Fuck man. That's fucking sick. Nice. The background music is much. Yeah, it is much actually.

I would, I would send someone else around or behind me. Nice one. That's a mean comment. I would use my spidey sensors. I would simply use my training. I would feel the else around or behind me. Nice one. That's a mean comment. I would use my spidey sensors. I would simply use my training. I would feel the disturbance in the air. I like John Wick would have established the exits. Why every man ready to surprise his woman?

Yeah, completely. You both surprise women all the time. That sounds incredibly sinister. That sounds really quite scary. This is a great point. Why do I have to miss Paul Walker every time I listen to this music? Like that song, I do not feel like it should be used in other contexts. It's the Paul Walker song. It is to me. Yeah.

These are really bad. Actually, all of these are places to do domestic terrorism. It's all just like attacking her here. Okay. His girlfriend doesn't know he's alive. Jesus Christ. Wait, that's different than... How does that happen?

This is so messed up. It's really messed up. I guess if you're not looking at someone, you don't know they're alive. No, no, no. I'm saying, I think it's like maybe he's missing an action. Oh my God. You'll never guess the song. Don't scroll down. Don't scroll down. Don't scroll down. Okay, let's hear it.

You'll never... It's close. All right. No. Don't scroll down. Don't scroll down. Don't scroll down. Okay, let's hear it. You'll never- it's close. Alright. Uh, is it from a musical? No. Does it hold space? Is it, uh, Lahayam to Life? Jesus take the wheel.

Is it I Die Down Army? Oh. No! What? Wait, what was he? In the trunk? He is about to propose to her. He just follows her around in the park. Can't be doing that man.

We- Jacob turned the music off because we can't. My heart will go on the theme song to Titanic. Where is she going? Why is he following her? He's following her. Also, the person who's going faster than them with the camera is probably making sound. Yeah. Well, he's probably going like, he's probably saying these words out loud.

Yeah. You've known each other since middle school. Oh, wait, does it go over a minute by any chance? She was heartbroken. Yeah, actually three minutes. She was heartbroken when he was deployed overseas. He's giving up. But was so proud of him for protecting this great country.

What are you doing, man? He's in a wheelchair. Distance never stood a chance at breaking that bond. I mean, this looks like a guy who is a double amputee at the knee. It doesn't look fake, right? May or may not have been in the army, but his, like, craigs... Oh my god.

It's so long before his deployment he was a star baseball player huh in fact the first time they met was on a baseball field okay she was the ball unless they're on a baseball field number one fan huh it's weird he's a parasocial much I hope he knows after high school he's gonna play baseball in college. Okay. But then you- oh he decided to give it up instead of- Okay.

Alright, whatever. And now he just follows her around. He's got a bat. Now he's her number one fan. And stalker. Something tragic happened. He followed a woman. Just shout to her.

Right, see it's always right before they come back. Hey man, where's she going? He was sent on a line. It is a baseball field. It is a baseball field. Oh, oh, oh, no peripheral. Why is she just wandering to an empty baseball field by herself?

She's looking for another baseball player to be a fan of. Wait, okay, so they just let her think he died. Yeah. What a prank. The prank is that they told her he was dead. Why would they do that? She's been spending time lately at his baseball field. Is this mirrored vignette thing to get past? The same one where they first met in high school Because I see this when they show clips of a movie on YouTube for review sometimes now

He's about to fulfill his promise to her. She's about to play baseball. Oh my god, he's gonna hit her in the head with a baseball. Right onto her finger. Why does she, why does she? Okay. Oh, careful. I don't know if I'd think it was him from that far away. It's a Gummy guy.

What's that evil woman from The Incredibles? She looks like she's wearing Edna mode, right? Doesn't she look like her? She looks like, she's in Ed. Edna Mode. Right? Doesn't she look like- She looks like- She looks like Edna Mode and- Edna Mode. And the lady that helps Symbra. She- I'll give her- to her credit, she had the best, um, like, reaction to seeing him out of any of the ones I've seen. But see, the thing is about this one, is that I need more of the backstory on this video.

Hashtag USA Army Military. See, this- They got out of the same car and she doesn't know? This one really starts to creep me out, because it's like, again, is it doing real damage but at the same time it feels really fucking weird to hire a guy? Okay, yeah, I agree, I agree. Okay. This is impossible that she doesn't know if he is alive or not, please, and the response is too hard.

Hard. I don't- this I don't understand, just the opening. She gets out of the car and so does he. So is he hiding behind her hiding in the trunk? Yeah, that sounds like she's not a good driver. And he closed the trunk like none of it makes sense. He's just doing a little hop into the chair and there also it's always these videos always involve someone who has no situational awareness.

Like how would you not notice someone standing behind you, your car magically shutting its trunk by itself? And presumably whoever's holding the camera was also in the same car. Or at least in a parking lot and holding a camera phone up. I would probably look at it. Casting a shadow so far in front of himself that she could even see it on the ground, possibly. ALICE Actually, one thing I will give credit for this one is like, so those ones that are very clearly on a set, and very clearly produced, why put

that much work into something that will look the most authentic with as little effort as possible? Like, once you do it on a set with a tripod, it looks fake. Handheld, outdoors, handheld at home. And this one has an American license plate on the car. So I was like, okay. It is Nevada. Maybe that maybe I'm going to, I want to do some Googling. I just want to see, like, I feel like this is the type of thing that would get a feel good local news story if it were like a thing that happened. Good morning America, an interesting thing happened downtown this weekend.

It is fake and we made it up. But that's the thing, it's like I don't want to cast doubt on something like this because it's so um. It's a scary run. I just don't think that this video is real. There's too many elements of it. Too many bizarre. That seem bizarre, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, on this particular, I could see them stealing content and reposting it. Yeah, well that almost definitely seems like it's what it's doing. But. But. It's kind of just attacking the show. But. Look, I think it wants unaware viewers to think that's what they're doing.

Oh, this is just an aggregate. They collect all of the coming home stories. I think they do post some real ones. Right. Because they go to their most popular. Oh. Some of these seem real. Look at the second one.

It's the unreversed version. Whoa, it's the unreversed one. Still annoying. Look, man, look, look. I told you not to touch my, and I'm not gonna look at you when I speak. Yeah. Does it also have music over it? Oh, that's a great question.

Mm-mm, mm-mm. Look, man, look, look. Okay, we're talking about. I told you not to touch my earphones. Look at that guy. Oh, okay. It does have music, but just not as loud. Yeah. It's almost like it's still so hard to hear them.

Yeah. So maybe, wait, this one is no problem. Can we look at the, that one that, yeah, no, the other one that- The description is welcome home surprise my family. Okay, this looks real. Dude, look, that's the that is what I'm talking about. The freeze. That is what human beings do, because you're like,

it's not an emotion you feel. It's like new. It's when you touch like something really, really hot and it's cold for a second. It's like your body doesn't know how to process that. Yeah, it's like that. You got like, oh, it's the person. It's like your body doesn't know how to process that degree of heat. It's like that you got like

Oh, it's the person. Also this looks like it's recorded like Have their camera in front throwing the hat down. Yeah, like that's a real reaction. I believe it helps It's also just like people that look like they would know each other as opposed to a 50 year old man And a 20 year old woman wearing like a top instead of a pregnant something. Yeah, some of these are definitely real for real for real Oh, not that one What you can just tell? Yeah, wait Jacob how about this? Yeah something about this Jacob you're more kind of media literate than us What about this? Wait, did she create a dummy of her partner? Don't call him a dummy. Yeah, I think that's a soldier It looks it's like looks like a zombie

Why did it have to be dressed in army on the shoulder that is on all of these army suits also another couch in the middle of the room wet willies his wife Also another couch in the middle of the room. Soldier wet willies his wife. Heartwarming. Yo, can we play the sound on this? Oh, there's a lot of him waiting for a minute to elapse. Nevermind. Turn sound off.

Turn the sound off, it's just a song. Nevermind. Would you even get a dummy like that? Looks like the crypt keep. Yeah, why did you dress it like that? He does think it's a real dude what the hell maybe what oh my god I'm sorry I said that word panties I should have said underpants what is panties bad it's a little... It's um... It's one of those words that I think people don't like to hear. Oh.

Oh. He tears his head off! Oh. Wait, so she was pranking him the whole time? The third comment. Hey my friend, there's a lot of us women out there who dedicated themselves to just one man. I'm one of that woman. We don't play around. We don't play around.

Wow. We don't play around. That's actually a really nice sentiment. You can tell all the ones, again, you can tell the ones that are authentic cause they're kind of poorly, not poorly done, but humanly done. No, there's a human element to it.

There's not a key light. There's not a key light. There's not a mannequin. Yeah. There's four walls. They're not on a set. They don't open a door that if you look behind the door, there's like nothing there Yeah, they don't enter from the street. Yeah

Who is that? Oh, he's home. I guess I want us. Oh, I feel weird about even Classic childbirth one in that set again with skeletons all over the walls right about the yeah, boy Oh, that's the same set. Oh, and guess what? They've covered her belly. Oh, there it goes. Because it's the one that's not skin accurate. Hmm. Same, same scrubs, though. She's not even singing. She just has a camera. By the way, isn't that wasn't that the husband of the woman who was singing?

Yeah, I think so. He just had his jacket off and his hat off. And she was the lady that read the letter. And she was the lady who was singing. Yeah, I think so He just had his jacket off and his hat off and she was the lady that read the letter and she was the lady Who read the letter who was doing this? So I even feel weird about them Gathering real ones and reposting them for views that feels That's just like feel like it started off probably posting real ones and then they were like we need more Bleed dry not enough soldiers are coming home right now. That is what it seems like So these a lot of these that was the saddest sentence London ever said that not enough soldiers are coming home Okay, have we watched enough of these? Yeah, I think so. We really got swept away in that that was I was gonna say fun

But it wasn't It was more upsetting but it did to teach us a lot about what people are willing to stoop to for content, which is a thing that we've talked about a lot, and so we shouldn't be surprised at this point. And they've done worse, certainly, but it is interesting seeing the like endless loop of what are we, why are we even here? Is this just, it's just noise to be louder than other noise, to distract you from other noise?
