What happens when two people who grew up in a very strange corner of Los Angeles look back and realize just how bizarre their upbringings really were?
They start a podcast, of course.
I'm Ashley Johnson.
And I'm Talas and Jaffe.
Before we became the internet people we are today, we spent our childhoods as working actors, appearing in shows like growing pains and films like Mr. Mom.
And our podcast, Weird Kids, we're diving deep into our unique upbringings, our friendship with each other, and all the delightfully odd.
interests we still carry with us today.
In each episode, we get to share stories of our youth, the things that bring us joy,
the problems that we face, and occasionally the friends we've collected along the way.
If you're a misfit, an outcast, or just a weirdo who loves all things nostalgic and
unconventional, come take a seat at our table.
Each week, we'll be releasing previously members-only episodes on YouTube and all major podcast
platforms, with new episodes dropping exclusively and ad-free on beacon.tv.

and co-host
Ryan McGee
Brought to you by Colgate
And wide-owned banks
Huh?
Huh?
Welcome guys
What do you say?
I don't know
It was just
Like an announcer of a show
Slips it like
Brought to you by Colgate
And white-owned businesses
It's like what?
What do you say?
They do that at the Oscars
Is that like a company?
We want to give thanks
this year at the Oscars for all wide-owned businesses
keeping us home boys proud.
Whoa, what?
Did, was this a joke?
Was this, is this an SNL bid or was this the Oscars?
Like watching a clip on YouTube on your phone?
Dude, just throwing that in there and like, it did not get approved or anything.
The announcer just, like, I, guys, I misread the script.
I, you know, I have, I have dyslexia.
This is a set of letters.
It just swaps out whole words.
Yes.
It was supposed to say
female-owned businesses.
I don't know what happened there, guys. I'm sorry.
Well, it was national television, so
yeah.
But guys, welcome.
You know, you might be,
there's two camps right now.
Actually, there's three.
The first camp
are throwing their arms up in the air.
No camera?
What the fuck douche?
I don't know why I said, what...
Well, that's that time.
Exactly.
Who can really truly get into the mind of a person?
like this. I was starting to say what the F word and then realized I shouldn't swear so I
changed it to doce but for some reason it came out as douche. So it was what the fadoosh.
Then the next camp of people goes, oh sick another audio only episode like the old days.
And then the third camp is just listening to the audio because that's what they normally do
and they don't care about our faces and they're like oh I didn't even know anything was different.
It sounds a little like more entertaining. I can't tell why.
what it is.
Yeah, I mean, we are using different microphones.
Yep.
Than normal.
So you might be like, damn, these boys sound good.
But yeah, audio episodes, this is not going to be the final one, but they're, you know, a small handful of them.
Just work with us, you know.
It'll make sense.
This is a fun little era, isn't it?
The audio only era of the second go at a podcast?
Yeah, exactly.
So, hey, I got to say actually, I love what Luke named the last one.
Very clever.
It made me laugh.
What was it?
It was, now you hear us.
Because episode 300 of Super Megacast, when we introduced cameras, we called it Now You See Us.
So, yeah.
It would be funny if the next, we just uploaded a blank episode where it's like, now you don't.
And there's nothing.
There's nothing.
It's just silence.
I mean, we could get away with it.
God. As long as there's ads.
Yeah. Like contractually, guys, as long as there's ads in that episode, we are good to go.
It's artistic.
Exactly. It's like a statement.
Yeah.
It's a statement on the state of entertainment and corporate sponsorships.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
Yeah.
We were just in San Diego having a boy's trip.
Yes, we were.
In separate cars.
We did hold hands in each lane, you know.
Yes.
You did have to drive in reverse to make that possible.
Because it would be way too long.
Right.
So we were going a tad slower than the high.
We were going under the minimum speed on the highway for sure.
Well, at first, we kind of got the hang of it.
But it would be unsafe for, you know, for Ryan reaching out.
To lean all that?
Yeah.
Like you can just reach out the window.
And, you know, I was, I would have to be the one to reach because I have longer arms.
So, like, reaching over the passenger seat and then all the way out the window while driving is unsafe.
So we did the safe option.
I just drove backwards.
And, yeah, we got on the Five South and we took that whole baby all the way down to San Diego from L.A.
Like that.
And I will say, you know, slow start, but we got the hang of it.
And it was that one time when we were like, let's just go fast just for a bit.
and we did hit like 120.
Well, it's because you put yours in, well,
oh, I thought you're talking about the time
where you put yours into drive
instead of keeping it in reverse.
That hurt a lot.
It did.
It really did.
Yeah, that was my bad.
And luckily, you seem to be all right.
Yeah.
You know.
Just dislocated, you know.
Yeah, but it popped back in.
Yeah, it did.
It did.
I mean, through a lot of trial and error
on your part, but it did.
I've never relocated.
somebody's...
It is.
I mean, I guess.
It actually is, though, isn't it?
Like, what is dislocating...
It's more like a bionicle piece.
Yeah, it's got the round.
Is that really just kind of what it is?
Like, when you dislocate something,
is it just like the ball pops out of the socket
that holds it and you got to click it back in?
I don't know anything about the human body.
Yeah, me either.
All I know is I wouldn't try to do it because I...
You see in movies how painful it is when it's like,
Three, two, one, ah!
But they go, ah!
But if you fuck that up, that's probably excruciatingly painful.
Yeah.
Man, have you guys ever had any dislocated sockets or joints or anything like that?
Leave your comment, leave your story in the comments below.
We'll read them and then forget to talk about them on the next episode.
Well, Darwin will read them.
And then he'll print out the worthy ones to put us on the top of our day.
desk next day. And I'll go, what is all this, what is this shit? And I'll throw it away thinking
that Luke accidentally printed one of his fan fictions again. And then I'll get mad because I don't
see them anywhere, not knowing that you threw them away. And then we'll figure it, it'll take a
little bit of like, there'll be a lot of blaming on both of our parts, probably more towards
Luke than Darwin, but then we'll figure out that it was, you know, we need to go to Darwin to
go fish it out of the garbage and tell them to make it more presentable, put them in folders
or binders, something where it's not just stacks of loose paper on a desk.
It looks like trash
I'm with you
And what sucks is by the time
We realized this
It's already been taken down
To the dumpster
And you know
There's a lot of other shit in there
That's gross
So
But he earns a paycheck
Yeah
I mean that's part of the job
Yeah
What he signed up for
So go ahead and leave those
Those in the comments guys
Patreon as well
If you want
You can type it on Patreon
But YouTube's were really
Actually Spotify comments
That's a thing
Is it a thing?
Is it a thing?
That's a fucking war zone in there, dude.
Is it?
Yeah.
I, like...
Is it because people are mostly meming in there?
They're not taking it seriously?
And that's...
See, the thing is, when it comes to our podcast,
I expect the comments to be nothing but serious...
The most civil...
Debates and...
For some reason, though, on...
Like, the few times I've checked the comments on Spotify,
I open it up and I'm like, oh, holy fuck.
It is, uh, it's a different vibe from the YouTube comments.
Okay.
And which is a different vibe from the Patreon comments.
Yeah. You get different audiences, but it's a war zone in the in the Spotify ones.
Okay. Are they fighting over not having video? No, they're mean to us, Ryan. Oh. They're very mean to us. Okay. So you know what, guys? I think it's time that we show the bullies. No.
That's nice. Go in the Spotify comments right now and say, uh, um, are they mean on every episode? No, no, no. It's a long time ago. I just scrolled through a couple of
And I was just like, damn, these are some violence going on in here.
What do you even Spotify comments look like?
Do I just click on an episode?
Click on an episode and then, yeah, scroll down.
There's comments.
Who cares how many ads there are?
You people are so lame.
Just skip them.
Shut up.
You sound great in that ad read, by the way.
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of, I think there's a lot of talk about ads and stuff.
We don't put the, like, I know that ads get inserted on Spotify that aren't in the video version.
I don't know, guys.
Just let them know how, just let them know how nice Matt and Ryan are.
Say, I love Matt and Ryan.
Seems to be mostly just be people upset about ads.
Yeah.
You ungrateful sons of bitches.
I'm just kidding, guys.
Some of them are a pretty funny way of going about it, though.
It's like, oh shit, there's some podcast in my advertisements.
I thought that was pretty funny.
That is very funny.
We don't, um...
You know, we record the video version and we record our ad reads and then basically other ads
get inserted by, uh, I guess the agency that, um...
The powers that be.
The powers that be, the man, uh, they insert.
So we're, we're kind of out of the loop on that, that side of things on the audio version.
Um, but luckily there is that.
beautiful little 15 second button.
Oh yeah.
I don't know if I'm actually even allowed to...
I don't think there's anything that says I can't.
I mean, it's something that exists.
It's a feature.
It's a prominent feature of...
YouTube has one built in too.
You just tap the screen twice and it goes like 10 seconds.
Which sometimes I feel like it's not actually doing 10 seconds.
Like if I'm trying to go back, I swear it's like it moves it like two frames.
Well, when you go forward, it's 10 seconds.
When you go back, it's like 30 or some shit like that, I thought.
It's just, it's always, I feel like it's just a random interval every time.
Just to mess with me.
They change.
We're testing things.
Because it'll rewind it way too much or go forward too little.
And I'm like, what's happening?
What's going on?
Kind of like what a, you know, genius business strategy from Mr. Beast.
He has a bar during ad reads that like fills up.
you can see how far into the ad read you are.
And I remember back in the day, I think I saw that and I was like,
oh, that's pretty smart.
We should do that just so the viewers have like an idea of, you know,
how much ad there is so they can, you know, choose to do whatever they want.
And that's when I found out Mr. Beast actually is not honest with it
and starts the bar moving much faster than it's actually going.
And then it slows down all the sudden and then moves at a different speed
to trick the viewer into being like, oh, I'll keep listening to the ad.
It'll go fast.
It's not that much.
Yeah.
It's not a linear, like...
No, it's not at all.
It's exponential or logarithmic or just key-framed.
Some bullshit.
Yuck.
Honestly, I think that is really shitty.
Well, I mean, knowing Mr. Beast, it's intentional.
No, it is.
It's 100% intentional.
The whole point is...
Does YouTube do that, too, or are they honest with their...
Like, when you see the bar moving fast?
Is he just taking, like, other big businesses' strategies?
No, I mean...
Is he...
Is he Mr. Beast coming up with his own incredible strategies?
I'm talking about like it's in, it's like a graphic on screen.
I know.
And it's like.
Yeah, the bar that fills up.
And it goes faster in the beginning and then it slows down.
It's so, it's so dishonest.
But does YouTube do that with their, you know, how they have the yellow ad bar?
Oh.
No, I don't think so.
Because I feel like they'd get called out and I feel like theirs is an actual like linear.
Like, here's how much is going by.
It's very scummy to...
I don't know.
I feel like it just shows like a lack of respect for your audience
because you're just tricking them for the sake of money.
Yeah, but when most people just use that as like a...
I'm just going to go to the bars filled, like scrub.
Yeah, I don't know how many people are like,
I just want to get 20% through this bar and then listen to the rest of the he has.
Well, I have asked Mr. Beast. I mean, he obviously has everything.
You know, just like Mr. Beast or Ludwig,
they always at people, the millionaires at the top always go,
if I started from nothing again,
I could make a channel easy, profitable.
I do love,
dude,
I love what huge YouTubers or streamers say that.
They're like,
they think that their success is attributed only to, like,
their own...
To their street smarts.
Their street smarts.
And not to like a specific combination of timing and luck and connections
and the way the algorithm was at a certain point or is now.
And it's like,
oh, yeah, no,
I mean,
making YouTube channels that are trying their hardest and having no success.
Really, it's because you just don't know as much as me.
And if I were to start from zero, I'd be right here again next week.
I think it's a lot of maybe there's an inability on some of these creators' parts to think
as if they were in someone else's shoes.
Yeah.
Maybe.
I do think, though, Jason the wean would be unbelievably graded.
The Gigi easy guy?
Yep.
You got that song stuck in my head.
and it keeps getting out in my head
and I don't think about it
and then I see you and you're like
T-J-T-T-T-T-Fucking easy.
You should see the people in traffic.
They go, oh, brother!
No, they're clapping.
They start singing along with me.
It's a flash-off.
We all start driving and like we start like going left and right
like kind of veering in like unison.
It's really cool.
It's like a real life musical.
It's a lot of fun talk about like car tricks.
You on the highway this episode so far.
Just, you know, we're driving backwards, holding hands.
Well, I mean, you were the one doing the trick.
I was just driving forward.
slowly.
That's true.
So you're the one doing the trick.
It is hard to maintain the same speed.
We should have used cruise control.
But I don't think there's cruise control going backwards.
That was the problem.
But it's kind of like La La Land, that first scene.
Except you're singing Gigi easy and everyone's jumping out of their cars on the hoods and honking to it.
It's great stuff, man.
I really wish I could have been there.
Dude, that was trying to go bed the other night and I was stuck in my head.
and it's uh i love that song
i enjoyed the movie
when it came out
and i i think i watched it multiple times in theaters
it takes me straight back to like january
2017 when we actually
when game rooms was renovating their office
and you and i got confined like working in this room
remember we set our desks up against this wall
yeah and because they were doing construction out there so
it was during that period it's when we were rebranding super megacast
and we were working on we were doing the catamari
let's play for the first time
and I just remember that song
takes me back to when we were working right here
for some reason because I guess it was all around the same time
good times man
miss it hey more good times to have
which we won't recognize is
I wish someone told you you were in the good days
before you had left them
it's funny because like Ed can we get a little more
can you just talk like your character did the whole series
what was that
I was just trying something
It is kind of true that it's like you don't realize the good times the good times until afterwards
But you know, it's like if you're someone that's really anxious
You deal with anxiety daily. I found what's funny is like I'll have periods where I'm super anxious and stuff
And then I'll hear a song or something and look back and I'm like man, that was a great time. I really missed that period and then I'll remember like oh wait, I was anxious as fuck during that period, but it's like I don't remember that always
It's like I do remember your brain filters a lot of that out.
I don't know.
Music has a lot of like,
there was music going on at a time where I was like particularly anxious
or some big awful life event happened.
I will like steer clear of that.
Oh yeah.
I'm just like, whoa, like if it comes on,
because I still like have it and liked songs over it.
I was like, skip.
Oh yeah.
Same.
There's, um,
because I've done the playlist,
monthly playlist thing since like January 2018.
Because the whole point of that
Like, you and I both emotionally connect music a lot.
And for me, it's like music is, music is life, it's medicine.
But it's mainly a way for me to like connect a certain time to like the present.
So it's like I can listen back to a song that was during a certain period and it kind of transports me back to that time.
So that's why I like making the monthly playlist because I can go back and see it's exact certain point in time.
But there are certain times throughout that where.
if I shuffle those playlists,
a certain song will come on. I'm like, nope,
skip it. Because it just takes me back to
like a bad feeling. It's funny.
There's like songs that I can think of right
now that like I know like I just
skip instantly.
Even though I will keep them on my like
because maybe I'll get into one of the song.
I like the song and maybe I'll be in one of the moods
where you know, sometimes you just
you seek them out. You just got to, yeah, you got to
seek out the emotion intentionally. And so you just kind of
put it on. Every few months I'll have one of
those nights where I just, uh, it's like you go back and you listen to the, uh, the stuff that you
normally skip because it feels bad and you, I don't know, I mean, that's like a way of processing
though, right? Yeah. It's a form of therapy. Because sometimes it, it feels good is not the right
word. It's not that it feels good. It's cathartic, I guess. Yeah. It's, uh, yeah, it's, it's like a
processing thing. And a lot of the time, you don't, I don't want to listen to that music in the
middle of my day, if my day's going well. No, I want to, I want to listen to something that gets me
groving. What some Gigi is by them?
exactly.
Jayshog.
Yes.
Dude, see?
Our brains are going
to the exact same place.
Because he just came out
with a new song.
And we were in San Diego driving.
Man,
it's funny because
Jayshok released to that one banger
and he hasn't released
anything since.
And we were driving
and we were like,
does he have any more songs?
Open it.
Brand new song released that day.
Dude, if we played our cards right,
we could have Jayshok
sitting in that chair to your left,
on that couch to your left.
Does Jayshok want to
come on our podcast? Can the message get out there to him?
Part of me feels like the problem with Jay Shock and us might be that he flew so high
that he might see coming on this podcast as like an in mince of stepping down.
True.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like he's been on the Howie Mandel podcast.
Really?
He's been on Theo Vaughn's podcast.
He's going places, man.
I didn't realize because you found Jay Shock.
a long time ago.
He was just,
he was just on TikTok.
He was our little secret.
Yeah, like,
it wasn't really a secret, but.
But yeah,
but when you found Jay Shock originally,
uh,
you were like,
dude,
check this out.
And it's like,
it's a video of this dude
just eating cereal.
Let's get to muckin.
It's like,
shock a clock.
Yeah,
that's,
you would always say it's shock o'clock.
And it was the bang,
bang sticks,
too.
Like,
dude,
check this out.
And he was,
that's right,
he doesn't do the fucking,
the, the bang,
the bang,
hey,
can we,
Can we roll a clip of the bang bang sticks, please?
Dude, you go
Oh, like he...
I've seen him at CVS and stuff, and I, and every time I see him, I'm like, oh, that's, that's what Jayshok was using.
The bang bang.
For those who are curious, I'm pretty sure it's just, it's like a, it's a stick.
It's like a tube with menthol in it and aromatic stuff.
And you just sniff it and it, it punches you in the nose because it's like menthol.
So it's a wake-up thing.
It's just like salt.
Smelling salts?
Ammonia.
No, actually, well, people do actually do that with ammonia.
Or like smelling salts and stuff because it do wake you up.
It is a bit of a like...
Joe Rogan has a clip of him doing smelling salts and giving his friends some.
Roll the clip.
I heard a buddy the other day saying he's sober.
Oh, you're in.
Dude.
Come on, because then we can include those as.
our clips. So technically it's a clip from our
podcast, but it's a clip of us
talking. Dude, have you seen that clip of Jill
Rogan? From the Joe Rogan
show? No, no, no, no. From a
Super Mega show. But, uh, I mean, yeah.
No, I saw this clip on their show, so
from their podcast. We just start sniping a bunch of, like,
popular clips. Every week.
Every week. Like, dude, Ed Sheeran
was actually crying on stage recently.
Can we roll that clip? Can we roll that clip?
Dude,
Like, have you smelled smelling salts before?
No.
You've smelled ammonia, though, right?
Maybe.
I mean, I couldn't clock it right now.
Cap-piss.
Yes.
One of the reasons it's...
Oh, that's why our office sometimes smells like fucking...
It smells like a...
Do people use ammonia to clean and shit?
There is...
There are ammonia cleaners, but...
That's what I feel like some people use in our office
because every now and then, we'll walk...
I'll walk in and it smells like someone
put cat piss in
Fabrese and sprayed it around the office
Oh, you're talking about the whole building
Yes
You're not our office
No, no, no, no
Okay, because I was like, I was like
Well first we don't really clean
Second, I was like
I can't think of any times
I've walked into our office
And it's not like, yes, dude
Someone in our building
Maybe they're cooking meth
Because I've heard that that smells like cat piss
Okay, maybe
It's nat
I don't, the thing that bothers me
About the smell you're talking about
Is I can't pinpoint
What it is
And it's not pleasant
and it's a very unique, weird smell
I have never smelled before
and I cannot
like if I knew what it was
I think it wouldn't bother me so much
but it's the fact that it's like what is that?
It smells like a filled
stinky litter box
and someone just sprayed a shit ton of febrize in there
and then you stick your head in that
and that's what it smells like
it's not don't stick your head
like you stick your head in the litter box
not like not in the sand
just in the in the proximity of it
yeah in the slot
in the hole that they go to
do cats like pooping in dark
shaded spots or something
a lot of litter boxes
mine's like that
like even though
my cats
not my litter box
but even though like
I don't know
we typically back when I was growing up
we had just like the pan litter boxes
but we'd always put them like
in we make a space in the closet
so it could be like
covered or shaded or something
Cats one
privacy
It's not privacy, but that's when they're most vulnerable to attacks, you know,
because it's like when a cat's going and dropping a couple logs, you know, like that is when
they're at risk of, think about if you're a predator and you see, you're wanting to hunt on
a little cat for a meal, you see that thing, indisposed, perfect time.
Yeah, and also you like wait until it's done so you're not like when you're eating it,
you don't eat some of the poop.
Right.
They're probably not thinking, I mean, in the wild, they're probably not,
thinking about that. I'd be thinking about it. Oh, I definitely would too. And we are wild animals
technically. We are. It's crazy, you know. We are just one of the species that exist. We're
just dominant. We think that we're different. We think we're better. But we're, technically, you know,
because there's a lot of apex predators that fucking out apex predator, predator us in terms of like
the put us up against them. Drop us in a ring. Yeah, we're losing. That's it. So it's just kind of
like, but we're still the apex predator just because of civilization and stuff.
Because we have intelligence.
Like if you drop me in an ocean, am I still the apex predator of the world, even though
I'm like just like a babbling little fool?
You're not the apex.
Paddling around?
Well, I guess it really like the term apex predator, I guess, like.
I don't think we are, we should be described as that.
There's no such thing I think as like a universal apex predator.
Like I think of something that's good at killing it.
looking out for...
Because it depends on the situation, right?
Like, if you put me in...
Yeah, drop me into a shark tank.
I'm no longer the apex predator in that situation.
Even though I would still be classified,
I guess technically as the apex predator.
But we're only classified as the apex predator
because we have a level of intelligence
that no other species on Earth that we know of has.
So we're able to outthink and outsmart
the dumb little sharks, but put us in the right environment,
nothing, your intelligence is not going to get you out of there.
I mean, even drop you just on a, on a sandy trail with a bobcat.
Are you making it out of that?
No, that's faster than me.
It's teeth are sharper.
Yeah, right?
And it digs and rips.
Oh, it's claws or, oh, yeah.
Bobcats are scary.
And if you've ever heard one in the wild shriek, it's truly like,
did you ever hear that in South Carolina in the woods?
Well, the thing is, I did hear it, but there are sometimes,
even like the sounds of like cats having sex are horrifying too.
Cats make terrifying just like house cats.
Yeah.
I remember hearing that like in the woods and I'm like, dude.
Oh, what is that?
Or when cats are getting into a fight, it's always like at night and you know, I'll be
sitting and be quiet and then you'll hear two cats outside having like a territory
dispute and it's like, it's creepy.
And as an adult, it's like, oh, those are cats.
But Bobcats even now, uh,
If you hear a bobcat shriek in the woods, legitimately, it sounds like a possessed woman screaming.
Like blood-curdling scream.
Luke, can you play a bobcat scream so people have context?
Like, this is what a bobcat scream sounds like.
Horrified.
Horrifying.
And I'll never...
And this is what a shark roar sounds like.
Also horrifying.
Imagine hearing that, a shark charging at you and roaring at you like that.
Can they make noises?
No, but I do love it in movies when they make them roar.
Crocodiles have like a
Rumbling
Not a roar
But they have like a snarl
Yeah they're capable of making
Like sharks I'm sure are capable of making sound
But it's just you're in water so
You know we don't
Probably
Because they
It's funny
Oh dude you know what's interesting
What
Before I get back to the Bobcat thing
It's interesting how like
Because they evolved in water
They just did not have the nest
Like the need to
So many animals rely on sounds for communication and making sounds to express things.
But like sharks and fish, they're just like, nope.
Whales and dolphins.
Do any of that.
Dolphins though, yes.
I guess those are mammals.
You're right.
So they use communication.
Wait, but I wonder if that's why they're like the only ones to do it because they're,
they were, they also came from land into the ocean.
Like whales have hip bones from their ancestors that walked on land.
So maybe it's because they, uh,
already had that
when they went in the water
where fish just had no need for sound
wow
that's fucking deep
there's the shark movie
I saw 47 meters down
but the second one
that's not the title of movie
48 meters down
probably it's probably some stupid shit like that
but they had a fish in it
that screamed in the camera
it looked at them and they were like
it literally goes
a
let me see
that would skin the hell out of me
have I shown you this clip before
no
Hold up.
Dude, if a fish could make a sound, I actually don't think I would like that one bit.
Uh, because imagine you're just like, imagine how much scarier that would make swimming in the ocean.
You can just you like, eh, that sounded like slender man.
Uncaged.
Uncaged.
I just want the clip.
Is it a piranha?
Is it a snarling...
Was that it?
Yeah, you.
You're fishy, fishy, fish.
No, Nicole, I wouldn't.
Dude, why is the,
frame rate at like 200 frames per second in this clip. Do you see what I'm talking about?
Oh, because I, okay, hold on. Oh, it's your YouTube set to fast. It was set to, it's, it was set to 1.5 because there's a slow talker.
This is how it actually sounds. Okay. That, yeah, it
made it no less cheesy. What if, dude, if fish could do that, I wouldn't be swimming as much. I don't, and I barely swim as it is.
It sucks, though. It's funny because they didn't even add any audio effects to make it sound like it's like, I think it would be
scarier if that was like underwater sounding.
Yeah.
They have the gurgling of water.
Why would a fish be gurgling?
No, I mean, just the general water sounds.
Oh, yeah, they do have the like,
which if you are underwater and you pay attention,
it do be making that sound.
But I was camping with Daddy Dale.
He requested I stop calling that.
You're having Daddy Daycare?
Yeah, I can call it that.
Daddy Dale care.
and we pitched a tent
Wait, hold on
Oh shit, what?
There's about to be an imminent strike of ad reads.
What?
Bunker up.
Dustin from Sacred Symbols here.
You know when you're in the middle of a heavy recording session,
editing a show,
or just trying to get real work done on the go,
and your laptop starts slowing down or burning up in your lap?
It's the worst.
So, what does it actually feel like to switch over to a better laptop?
like the Dell XP powered by Intel Core.
For starters, it's built with a premium design
that's incredibly thin and light.
So it feels smooth,
meaning far less weight on your shoulders
when you're packing up for travel.
Then you open it up
and the responsive touchscreen
makes scrolling, zooming, and swiping
feel completely fast and precise.
Everything just flows.
Best of all, with its long-lasting battery life,
it feels like non-stop energy.
You get a better way to work
without being chained to a charger all day.
built for those who want better.
The DellXPS built for you.
When WestJet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different.
People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere,
and two out of three women rocked the Rachel.
While those things stayed in the 90s,
one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board.
Here's to WestJetting since 96.

We're safe.
Yeah, Coast is clear.
Coast is clear.
So you can continue the story about Dalecare.
Yeah, Daddy Dalecare.
Dale care sounds like if my dad was president and wanted to replace Obamacare with his own plan
Of Dale care?
Have you signed up for Dale care?
Lay the scene.
You're out in the woods with your dad alone?
Yeah.
And it's night time.
And it's just the two of us.
By a campfire?
Pitching a tent.
All right?
We pitch a tent and we are snuggled up cozy in our bags.
We weren't sharing one.
Just to be clear.
A sleeping bag.
Sleeping bag.
You were sharing a tent.
We were sharing a tent. We weren't sharing a sleeping bag.
We each had our separate sleeping bag.
Did you zip yourselves inside the tent?
or was it one of those tents where it's just
a triangle on some sticks?
I never want to sleep in one of the...
Like that just feels too...
Remember we were talking about like a cat taking a shit?
You're vulnerable to a predator?
Like, why would you even just not...
Like, what's even the point of a tent at that point
if it's just open?
It feels like Tucker. Tucker probably...
Tucker on his time of camping
has to have just slept in a sleeping bag
outside in the woods.
Oh, he's told me, dude, he slept on the side of the highway once.
And a sleeping bag.
By the way, nonetheless, in like an Easter
European country.
He's like,
oh, just, you know,
just going on the,
I had to sleep there.
Like, Tucker.
Love it so matter of fact.
Like in the middle of like Bosnia or something shit.
But you're in the woods with your dad.
I'm in the woods with Daddy Dale.
At night in your tent.
Separate sleeping bags.
Same tent.
Separate sleeping bags.
Dale's asleep.
He's out cold.
It's been a long day of trekking
through the woods.
You know,
he's old.
So he goes to bed really.
And I'm young.
I'm like...
I'm like...
I'm going to stay up.
The night is young like you.
However, when I would go camping like that,
last thing I wanted to do is be the last one awake.
Even now, as a 30-year-old,
if we were to go camping, you and I and you fall asleep first,
I'm going to be laying there like every sound I hear,
every...
My mind's just going to start thinking of like
the Blair Witch Project or aliens or whatever.
But basically, not far from our tent,
maybe 20, 30 feet
is a bobcat all the sudden.
And I find this out because
it shrieks at the top of its lungs.
Dude, that must have sounded like it was right next to your fucking head.
Yeah, basically, like, I mean,
it could have been farther away for all I know,
but it was just so loud.
And I'm laying there, my heart is pounding.
Did it wake your dad?
Yeah.
And then, well, but that wasn't it, though.
It did that.
And then on the opposite side of the tent,
like the same amount of distance,
Another one does it back.
So on both sides,
like on opposite sides,
surrounded,
just like,
oh!
They're just doing this back and forth.
And they're just doing it back and forth.
And my dad was like,
son,
it's Bobcats.
Isn't that amazing?
Like,
listen to that.
Oh,
my God.
But it's just the most chilling scream.
And then,
like,
even knowing it's Bobcats still,
I was terrified,
dude,
it is a horrifying sound.
And just,
they're mean looking.
Mm-hmm.
They're cute when they're small.
But.
So, I, like, everything is.
Think of a bear, a bear cub?
Oh, they're adorable.
But a grizzly bear charging at you?
Why is it that, like, small baby animals, like, are cute?
Is it like...
To incentivize care over them?
But why do we feel that for them?
Like, that's why people think babies are cute, but, like, is it just ingrained in our brain?
Probably because you wouldn't get much meat out of killing the young things.
Whoa, I never thought of it.
Maybe. I don't know. I really don't know.
Oh, I never thought of it that way. So it's not worth killing.
And if you go to kill a cute little thing, mom might be in a vibe, which kills you.
Yeah, bigger danger. Stranger danger.
Wow. That's honestly, there's something so weird about how your brain sees like a baby thing in it and just like, it's adorable.
And I can't, you can't even explain why or like what makes it adorable, but it's just like.
I think a part of it is we do anthropomorphize things as humans. Like we are like, we tried to give
so many animals human-like understanding or traits
where it's, I don't know, like...
Funny we do that.
When people are like, oh, look at the cute little moose.
And it's just this giant fucking moose
running a rampage through a neighborhood
where it's like, that'll kill people.
Oh, dude, mists are fucking terrifying.
No, he angie.
Oh, he big angie.
Ooh, someone's hungi.
Ooh, small moose.
Yeah, I don't know.
No, dude, that is one of the animals.
I kind of have a tier list of
Maybe we'll do it for a future video
Things you shit bricks coming into contact with
Yeah like in the spur of a moment
Animals you encounter in the wild
Like fear tier list
Moose is up there for me
Dude gorilla's up there for me
Gorilla might be at the top of the list
You're walking through with Jung Lawson
It stops
What do you do?
I mean you just have to
It'd be a big
I have to show like
What I bend over and spread my ass
And like
not getting ready for anything
but just showing like
you are you are absolutely
if you wanted to
you could
and I can
and it respects that
so it leaves you beat
yeah
meanwhile like the rest of the safari
is like
no rot rot
guys guys come on
no just
you do this
and it pans over
and there's like a whole safari tour
with you with like binoculars
and cameras
it's like we're safe in the truck
you know
but I do it with like lions
while we're still in the like
Safari plus
I got this
everyone do it
everybody come on come on
no honestly
I honestly think that
the tier list of like fear
would be the same tier list as like
being awestruck
and bewilt like oh my god
because like you see a gorilla in the wild
I can't imagine how like
they would inspire awe
upon me
dude imagine the seconds of sentience
you would have in the water
being chomped down on your
chest by a great white shark.
How horrifyingly just like how big
that those suckers are.
Just seeing that. Like it'd be right here.
You know?
It honestly like...
Anything water back. Dude, even an orca
would have me shitting and piss in my shorts.
Creating some dust in the water.
Well, speaking at Apex Predators, it's like
that I think the ocean's so scary
because like your brain recognizes
like this is not our environment.
And they've
you know, these motherfuckers have
spent billions of years evolving for this environment.
I'm not supposed to be here.
What's the most you can do in water?
Splash around.
Doggy paddle to the nearest glacier.
You gogy paddle, you splash around, and that is going to get them more excited to attack you.
Like, I truly, I feel like getting attacked by a shark, maybe just the adrenaline and stuff,
I hope would take over where it's not like really a sentient moment for you.
It's not really like a, oh no,
I'm comprehending every bit of this.
But it'd be more so
just like you're not really present
in that moment because of the shock.
But I have, you know,
now I'm thinking of shark attack videos I've seen
and it did kind of seem like
there's a little... Dude, that one in Australia is
insane. So...
Don't look it up.
Yeah, because we'll show the clip.
Lute? No, but
yeah, I don't want to be attacked
by any animal. A moose is up there,
gorilla's up there, shark.
Anything water-based even heightens the tension because I can't even enjoy its majesty in the moment.
If you're in the water, yeah.
I feel like putting water animals on that list or is, that's almost like a separate list.
Yeah.
Because they're also, there's an instant like, oh!
We're like, if I see a gorilla, my heart is going to drop into my fucking balls and I'm going to freeze and just like not even be able to process what's happening.
Dude, even a mountain line that would happen to me.
And we got those around here.
Yeah.
We go on trails every.
We could have come in,
we could have come into contact with one.
The times we went out with Tucker
to shoot the caves.
Shit.
Dude, wait,
it's not shit.
Sorry, I know.
But do you think about all the
like the guys go to Hollywood?
Or no, sorry,
the guys climb a mountain.
Yeah.
That blog we did?
There's an alternate reality
where it's like,
you know,
these two dudes
trying to make a silly YouTube video
on the come up,
guess what?
They're actually on the come down
because they both got mauled to death
by a mountain lion while shooting that video.
Dude, we could have been mauled by a pair of bull sharks or whatever the fuck is over,
like on the coast and we were drifting out to sea.
Yeah, and that thought did cross my mind as we were really far out in the water because
sharks don't need much room.
They'll go in the shallows.
No.
Have you seen those, like, how fast they are in the shallows too?
No, like, you couldn't get attacked by a shark in, like, knee-depth water.
So it's like, you know, but there is still something scarier about if you can't
touch, it's more like, yeah,
this is really where they're, they're just chilling.
Yeah. Because it's, I guess, in the shallows,
and they can just go, in the shallows, you have more control.
You can jump over them. You could jump,
and also you could see it coming, and
you're closer to shore. They're so quick,
I don't know if you would see it coming. Like, it would
think of like three of these rooms.
It could get to you like that, dude. They're fast.
Sharks are really fast. They, like we said,
they, millions of years of evolution.
Dude, they existed before trees.
They're just crazy.
Yeah.
On the drive back from San Diego, I listened to a YouTube video about like the 10 weirdest phases of like earth, like when it would have just been the scariest or like weirdest to if you time traveled back.
And one of them was like before trees.
It was like proto trees where they were they were like fungi.
But they were just like this very basic towering like basically like just like just a bit of just.
dick that came out of the ground.
I gotta look these up, proto-trees.
Prototaxites, I think, is what they're called.
But they were just, they were fungi systems, but they like, was before trees.
And they were just huge and towering everywhere, like giant mushrooms.
But they were just like literally rods.
Looks like a fantasy.
Looks like a penis, right?
Well, I'm trying to find them.
I looked up the, I.
Holy hell.
Is that right?
Jesus.
These things that look like that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was before trees.
So sharks existed around then, I think.
Isn't that crazy?
Like, they've just been fucking doing their thing.
So these were trees.
At the time, yeah.
Just like the bark parts.
And the crazy thing is they were, because they're fungi, it's like they're living, breathing
like things just, those are aliens.
Like, if we found that on another planet, that would be an alien.
We always forget about, like, when you think of aliens, you always think of, like, little
green men or like something like with tentacles and shit, but like, you forget that, like, oh,
if there's just plant.
on another planet, that's an alien.
So, like, we could discover just plants and it's,
or bacteria, like microbes.
But unless we recognize even the smallest bit of ourselves in it,
we don't, I think a lot of people don't register it as, like, alien life
or wouldn't have it count.
Like, if it can't blink or dart or, like, has a face.
Yeah.
You know, like, it is true.
And it goes back to what you were saying about, like,
the way our brand, we tend to anthropomorphize, like, animals and stuff.
Like, if we see some alien creature, or there is kind of the opposite side of the coin where it looks extremely alien, we might.
Like, if it looks far enough away, like, you look at some of those deep sea creatures that light up.
Yeah.
Like the jellyfish and stuff that have, like, the crazy rainbow shit, that looks like an alien to me.
And I don't, there's no way in hell I could ever anthropomorphize it.
So then you can just have some dude make a little cartoon, a little cute jellyfish that glows and then about a bit of a bit of,
Boom, but a Bing.
Merch, easy.
You know?
Disney will make a movie about it when we discover it.
You know what really upsets me is that we sent the curiosity rover to Mars.
Did you see those new pictures?
Of Mars?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Crazy.
That's insane HD ones.
Yeah.
That's so nuts.
You're just...
Also, we color correct a lot of pictures of Mars to make it look more red.
Because we're embarrassed that it's actually.
actually blue. It looks like Earth. Like the way Mars actually looks is not as red as the pictures
they release where it's like the sky is yellow and everything's red. That's like the idea we have
a Mars. And I forgot why they do that. I think they actually specifically, I think I watched a video
where they purposely color correct it to look more alien to like not look like Earth. So that we can
register it? So there's some kind of separation there. I forgot what the exact reasoning is. But
If you look at like
non-color edited photos of Mars
to represent like natural light,
it looks like Earth. It looks like a just a desert.
Just like this. Yeah. Like it just looks kind of like
like a hazy sunset.
Sorry, I get jazz and I'm looking at
like this HD pictures. It's cool, right? From another planet.
You could zoom in. You know,
it's a, in sunsets on Mars?
They're blue. Isn't that crazy?
Beautiful. Honestly, though,
but we sent that rover there. And one of the
the main things it's doing is looking for signs of life. And it's, it's rolling around, beeping
and booping in this place called the Jezero crater, which is like where a giant lake used to be.
So they're like, oh, this is a good spot because it's like a basin that rivers float into.
So they're like, if there was life, this would be a good spot to like find signs of where it once
was because of sediment and, you know, an animal dies and it gets dragged in there through rivers.
So they are almost like certain that they discovered life.
Like a fossilized something?
Yeah, basically they found these rocks that have this pattern in it that is, we have the same thing on Earth, but it's only produced by microbes breaking down an oxygen.
And they looked at it up close under like the microscope thing and they're like, yeah, this is like 99%
from life on Mars.
And it could be old or this could be recent,
like something that's still happening.
But the problem is they can't 100% confirm it
unless we got the samples back.
Well, that's good up.
Well, Trump just cut funding to NASA.
So they literally have all the samples
and they're like, well, I watched,
they did a whole press conference
where the director of it was like
sucking Trump's dick.
Just like...
To make sure that they get some funding.
So they could get funding.
And I was like, it was so pathetic.
Because people don't really care about.
They're like, I mean, so what?
It's bacteria?
What?
Why are we going to pay money for that?
So now those samples are just sitting on Mars and we can't 100% confirm it.
Can I make billions off of it?
Yep, nope.
I don't care.
But I think China actually was like, we'll go get the samples and bring them back.
Thank you, China.
Thank you.
Oh, shit.
Can you hear that?
Oh my God.
And after shock of bad reads.
Oh, fuck!
Oh!
Hey, I'm Mike Barronholz.
On my new show,
Funny You Ask,
trivia starts the conversation,
and then things immediately go off the rails.
I ask a question.
My guests think they know the answer.
Sometimes they do.
More often, they do not.
And then the conversation takes a turn.
One trivia question turns into stories
about career highs, painful bombs,
and behind-the-scenes moments
that probably should have remained private.
You'll hear confidence,
misplaced confidence,
bold guesses, wrong answers, quick laughs, and the slow realization that maybe this was a bad idea
to say out loud. If you like smart comedy, sharp conversations, and trivia that exists purely
to melt people's brains, this is Funny You Ask with me, Ike Barronholtz. Follow Funny You Ask with

but like each one
is his own individual storyline
which I like
Me too
Because Breaking Bad kind of did that
for a bit
We're talking about
We're back
We're talking about righteous gemstones
And I was
And Breaking Bad I guess
You cross it off the bingo board.
It's been zero days since bringing up Breaking Bad.
We should get that for the office.
One of those like counters.
But no, we were just in between.
While you guys were enjoying our corporate overlords,
we were eating Cheetos in discussing,
well, I saw an ad on X The Everything app.
I had a bit of Gouda as well.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
Okay.
I saw an ad for clavicular.
J.D. Vance and Jake Paul are doing a live stream today
to try to push turnout for Younger Public
for the midterms.
We made clavicular brown.
He's bronzed heavily.
I mean, it's some horrible Photoshop.
And to me, he looked like Uncle Baby Billy from Righteous Timstones.
So then we were singing the song, but Ryan hasn't seen it.
And I was saying how season one is fantastic because each season is its own contains.
I'll eventually see it, I will.
But God, how embarrassing is it to see Logan Paul giving his speech to our troops?
Embarrassing.
I thought it was inspirational.
You didn't even watch the speech, did you?
I just saw clips on TikTok.
Dude, it was...
So the other day...
Dude, that haircut, he's got to...
What is going on?
He's got to give it up.
What's happening?
I get his excuse now is like,
it's a W.W.E. character and it's whatever,
but it's just like, bro.
Put it in a ponytail.
I don't know.
Dude, if he puts it in a ponytail,
have you seen that shit?
Oh, his hair line's pretty bad.
It's like up to like midway on his head.
Have you noticed it's not just that his hair is long?
But he has like the front bowl cut part of it,
but he pushes...
It's so low.
his hair line must be real bad.
It is.
But he also is like
one of the richest fucking dudes ever.
Go to Turkey and get the fucking hair thing done.
Or just go bald.
Like yeah, I'm, dude, I'm sure he would
No, I mean, he wouldn't, I don't want to be like,
he'd look fine bald.
But I mean, like, it would probably work on him.
You're not,
I have to believe he knows this.
He's not like a fucking 16 year old kid anymore.
He's not a spring chicken?
I just, I think it is amazing.
And it kind of like the same thing almost with Ian at one point from Smosh
was their commitment to like a middle school to high school or haircut for as long as they did.
He, uh, there was something though about Ian where it's like...
That was more of his character.
Right, it was so trademark, you know?
Like it was like so iconic, the bull cut.
Well, that's how Logan Paul sees his then.
No one sees it that way.
He sees it.
it that way. Like, the thing is, like, he does not have an iconic hairstyle where I, I would argue that
Ian's bowl cut was pretty damn iconic. Timeless. Yeah, exactly. And, uh, you know, I remember, do you
remember the first time Ian cut his hair? And it was, I was like, oh my God. Like, he upgraded.
It looked good. Um, it was like the short. Yeah. And now, now, I think he's kind of, he kind of
bounces back and forth somewhere in the middle. Uh, but, you know, if he wants to bring the bowl cut back
fully. I'd be so supportive of it.
And I would not
judge or criticize him the way we're doing to Logan
Paul right now. No. No.
Because Logan Paul, another thing
too is like Ian's hair
was just kind of just like a regular
I mean it was very of its time
but it's like oh yeah
I mean you're not you're not going to do a double take
at it where Logan's is like
someone said it looked like
it was like me when my ramen noodles spill on my head
and it looks like that. It looks like
what's his name like Olive
from Hannah Montana.
What was the,
what was like the,
you know,
or,
um,
the brother Jackson looks,
like it's that hair era
or like the fourth
Harry Potter movie.
And the color of it,
it's almost like some Ben Franklin,
like,
uh,
like,
dude,
if he didn't have the front part
and he just let his hairline shine
with that hair,
it would definitely be some like,
or like,
um,
dumb and dumber.
Um,
that's kind of what they look like at that,
at that whole speech thing.
Yeah,
it's like,
I just seeing,
I saw it.
He does look like,
like fucking Jeff Daniels from
Dumb and Dumber, dude, he does.
It's just kind of all over the place. Dude,
in the, dude,
holy shit. You do like a, where are they
now picture with like Logan Paul and then Jeff
Daniels in the newest?
Dumb and Dumber. Yeah. Yeah. Like that
that's very believable.
Because like, basically, I think
or my best guess what they did
for his hair in that movie was they bleached it,
didn't tone it, and then just let it be
messy as fuck. And that's exactly
like what it looks like.
But it's just embarrassing, dude, rolling up...
It's on par.
I mean, I guess for him, it's like, you know, why wouldn't you do it?
You know, if your whole, like, uh, mode is attention.
But, like, for our defense department, our department of war to, like, bring in fucking Logan
and Jake Paul to, what, rile up the troops?
Like, what is the purpose?
What's the point?
If, if we're having to bring...
Logan and Jake Paul in to rally the troops for morale, I would say things in the Middle East aren't going super great.
Which was shocking for me to find out because from the very beginning of the whole conflict in Iran, I was like, this is going to go splendid.
Like, there's no way this could be a bad decision or anything like that.
I don't know how they still have fans that are like ride or die for them.
What were they?
What were they called?
What were the, um, um, lo gang?
Low gang.
I feel like there was a name specific mavericks, right?
Oh yeah.
Mavericks for life.
Uh-huh.
That says like shirt or their brand for clothing or something.
It just blows.
So before they went to the Department of War, they, I saw another post on X The Everything app from like the treasurer.
And it was like such an honor to welcome at Jake Polack.
to the treasury today.
And I was like, this is so fucking stupid.
And then I was like, this can't get stupider.
And then the next day, it's like the slow motion video of like
Jake Paul and Logan Paul like walking through the hallways of the Pentagon.
It's the fact, it's like, because like in the past, like I remember when they, I think it was
Obama brought just a shit ton of YouTubers in.
Like it was like Tyler Oakley and Miranda, whatever.
It's not Miranda whatever, Ryan.
I'm sorry.
Miranda sings.
Cosgrove.
Miranda sings, right?
I was like Miranda plays, man.
No.
I'm sure there were a few Miranda's in there.
There's a couple, yeah.
They brought in YouTubers before, but typically
that's just kind of like a, it's more of like
an outreach program is why they're brought in.
Not like a fucking, let's rile up the fucking troops.
Let's go to the Pentagon.
Let's take Jake and Logan Paul
and let's get our brave men and women in uniform
to sit down and listen to what they have to say
with their years of knowledge.
But like, what do they have to give?
Because, like, typically, like, why not just give him, like, a comedian?
Like, Jeff, like, bring Jeff Dunham to do some jokes for the troops.
Oh, dude, they want to rally the troops.
Jeff can, can bring some of his silly characters.
The peanut, Walter?
He can bring up Ahmed the terrorists and his son.
And his son, yeah.
And he'll be like, hey, guys, you know?
He can bring in Bubba.
Bubba.
Oh, the old man?
No.
No, that's Walter.
Bubba's the, like, racist pimp character?
No.
No.
Bubba is the redneck.
Yeah, the redneck, like, fat.
Who's the racist pimp character?
Or the, he's the...
I'm sure he had a racist pimp character-esque name.
Have you not seen the...
No, no, I know who you're talking about.
Let me see.
I feel like he probably gave him some name
that would be, like, on par.
What is Jeff...
Dude, Jeff Dunham should come on our show.
Dunham...
Pimp.
He is pretty pimp.
Sweet Daddy D.
Sweet Daddy D.
Oh, hold on. I just got to watch a...
Ooh.
Yep.
Oh, dude.
The teeth sucking, classic.
Dude, I was, you know, I was watching that shit.
I was loving it. Dude, I wanted a new puppet every show.
2009, if you would, if you could, man, I'm going to be visited by like the ghosts of Christmas, whatever,
and they're going to take me back to different times of my life.
And it's going to be like me on the couch in 2009 watching Jeff Dunham do like racist puppet stand up.
And I'm sitting there just in my bowl cut, just laughing myself.
Another one's going to be that in between of like maybe the next time frame will be your last shift at Chick-fil-A.
Yeah.
I still remember my lap.
I actually have dreams really frequently about working there again.
And one of them is that I still have more shifts left, but I just got my job for Markiplier with you in California.
And I'm, the dream always goes the same where I'm like working the shift.
and I'm just like, wait, I don't have to do this anymore.
Like, I guess technically I can just walk out.
You can bugger off.
Like, I already got another job and I'm just kind of being nice right now.
And I'm like, guys, I'm sorry.
I'm just going to go.
And they're like, really?
You're going to do that?
I remember my last two weeks, one of the, like, front end managers just always had a
toad with me.
And it's like, you're leaving anyways.
And I'm like, I'm still here.
I'm still here.
I mean, like, I had a manager that I, I had a manager that like I would say we were,
like we had a good chemistry and a good repertoire and she was much older than me.
But then as soon as I was like, yeah, I'm moving to California to go do this.
It was just day and night.
And she was very like, oh, Mr. Hollywood, too good for us, huh?
And she like, you know, it's like, at first I thought she was kind of joking around and I'm fine with that.
But then like it got to a point where I was like, oh, I think you're actually like a little bit.
I don't know, butt hurts not the right.
but like it was just, it was, it was weird.
And then when I would visit,
when I'd come back to South Carolina the next few years.
Go through the drive-thru with your sunglasses
and your like rented bright red convertible.
Oh yeah.
See, I would basically spend all on my...
Convertible Hummer.
Yes.
Which I would have to make myself.
But every time I would come back through
just to visit old coworkers say,
hey, she would just, she'd roll her eyes at me and just go,
wow, so how's Los Angeles?
How's Hollywood?
And I'd be like, really?
It was funny.
It was like the opposite.
It's almost like the moment I wasn't working there anymore.
It's like she, the front end manager, like one of them, distanced herself from like me as an employee and was just like, hey, hey.
It's because she went home and then realized a markiplier?
Wait.
Oh my God.
Where she's sitting there with like a just a jowl filled with popcorn falling out of her out of her mouth on.
onto her person and off onto the couch to the floor.
Some Tiny Box Tim fan animations.
Yeah.
There's actually a bowl that she has on the floor to catch the ones that drop.
Oh, which is very smart.
Because if you know that it's going to be falling, why just let it go to waste?
It takes a lot more effort.
You got to sweep it under the couch and just, you know.
Ones on the shirt, just make a little hammock for the popcorn.
Oh, yeah.
You get the main bowl, the shirt popcorn.
And then the after bowl.
Yeah, it's literally like a genius trickle system where, you know, the first one should catch most of it, but whatever it doesn't catch, filters down to the...
You're going to laugh.
Some of the on your tummy's going to...
Belly's going to bounce.
Yeah.
Belly is going to be, you know, especially, you know, like maybe some of those amnesia lets plays.
Some of those jokes might have the belly going, boom, boob, boom.
And it's like a...
It's like a trampoline for the popcorn.
Yeah.
That's why you need the bowl down there.
And I know a lot of you guys listening right now
Probably are doing the exact same thing
And going, well, wait, that's genius guys
Now I can finally save the rest of my popcorn
While I listen to Super Mega
First, you're welcome
Yes, you're welcome
Second, we really want to say
Thank you to the people on screen right now
There's two lists of names
These are beautiful podcast producers
And executive producers
and if you were one of them,
you would know about this popcorn method
way before everyone else in the public.
They get episodes early.
Ad free, early.
And yeah, you get a lot of fun little bonus perks
and stickers in the mail and stuff.
So go, go check it out.
There's lots of exclusive content and kisses and ball.
We show our balls every week.
We got a new scanner and we've been doing scans.
and some of you
been a little rude about it
saying, oh, you can go to a doctor
because that's not normal.
Okay, very funny with the gas lighting guys.
I mean, we know our balls
like the back of our hands, so
I know what's normal.
Exactly. I know your balls, you know mine.
We've been best friends for over a decade,
so it's like, I would,
if something was up,
but you know, I think I'd probably know.
But you guys are the best.
Thank you. I hope you've enjoyed
another audio banger.
Yeah.
Like back in the like a little throwback.
Yeah.
And we'll be back.
We'll be back with our beautiful faces soon.
And when we are, you know, it'll be on a new channel exclusively for the podcast, which we will be.
A lot of you were excited about that.
Yeah.
And very supportive.
I wasn't, I wasn't expecting that because I don't view it as something that's like something to be excited for.
But you guys surprised me.
Yeah.
Just not that special.
No, just because like, no, like moving to a different channel.
It's just like, oh, okay.
But like people are like, oh, that's a great idea.
Like, the enthusiasm was unexpected for what it is.
We really appreciate it, guys, because genuinely we were both a little bit nervous about
announcing that and just just doing it in general because we were scared that, you know,
some people might be like, oh, that's too much work for me to, like, that's stupid.
Why, you guys are dumb?
Yeah, some people like to shit what they eat.
Where were they eat?
And, you know, they like to listen to the podcast and look at the high quality stuff that we put out.
Yeah.
And you could still do both of those things.
Or just one or the other.
But we're very excited for...
You just picked your nose?
I didn't...
I itched it, Ryan.
Like, I have an itch.
It's still there.
You're doing it again.
I didn't actually get it all the way.
Your finger went inside of your nose.
You picked your nose, dude, in front of me.
And you didn't think they could see.
I scratched.
I was looking at you.
While I'm not going to make eye contact while picking my nose.
Bye.
