Starting point is 00:00:00 When Mr. Ryan McGee and myself started SuperMega Enterprises, you know, we had no idea that we would become the first billion dollar YouTube channel. And one of the ways we achieved that was through selling merchandise, but we asked ourselves in the beginning, how the, how the eff are we gonna sell merchandise, you know? It's, it's, we have to make our own website? Like, what do we do? Well, one night we got a vision from the heavens,

Thank you for having me. I'm very excited to be here today in my red chair. I dropped my phone. Do you wanna restart? No, it's fine. Let's restart.
Starting point is 00:02:32 No, no, no, you know, people make mistakes. It's important for the audience to know that, you know, it's okay for mistakes to happen. I would just really prefer if we restarted. Okay, let's just, one more, just one more though. Yeah, just do the same thing you did before. Just without the phone. The same exact thing?
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah. Okay, like the same exact or can I still switch it up? I mean you can switch it up a little bit if you want. Okay. What's poppin' crackers and crackerettes? This is another episode of the Super MegaegaShow, hosted by none other than Matt Watson and yours truly, Ryan McGee. We are here on a fantastic Monday recording it, but these release on a Wednesday on YouTube
Starting point is 00:03:19 and the same day on Spotify? It's a pleasure to be here, Ryan. Thank you for having me. I'm very excited today to podcast with you, my best friend Ryan McGee. Do you think that was a better opening? It was alright. I guess, you know, it's kind of like a, it's like you're out of, like capturing lightning in a bottle type thing. Yeah. Where it's like the first one really was just what we should have gone with should which I'm telling you I I've sent you pictures my uncle did catch
Starting point is 00:03:50 lightning in a bottle and he has it it's literally a lightning bug like the pictures cool yeah but it's just it's like it's like two or three lines was really bright it is really bright yet well he had he had the how do you explain that well he had how bright it gets because he took a picture in a jar yes but it was dark outside and he took I'm pretty sure the flash was on too so it's reflecting off of the of the bottle he had so it like looked extra it's really hard to tell on it's my uncle wasn't flashing me we were just looking at a bottle of Of lightning I know where you got that from huh bugs lightning bugs
Starting point is 00:04:37 Whatever dude and then now I see now I see how that how Christians feel When you just don't have when people don't have faith You know what? Maybe there's like a 1% chance that he did capture lightning in a bottle and I'm just being arrogant. Ignorant. Ignorant would probably more suit and characterize what you would be. Maybe I'm being ignorant then.
Starting point is 00:04:58 An ignoramus. Maybe I'm being an ignoramus. Such a great word by the way. That is a fantastic one. Can that be SuperMega's SAT word of the week? That's right. Go ahead. Luke put it on screen so everyone knows Ignoramus that is this week's super mega SAT word Luke put the definition up to and can you read the definition out for everyone, please an ignorant or stupid person Matt come on man. I'm trying trying to record this for the podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Now this all is going to go in the whole conversation. This whole conversation is going to go in. Okay. And I can't make the clip short or anything. This is just going to be running in the background of the podcast. While you guys are talking. Okay. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah, that's perfect. Go back to the podcast now. And Luke, one last thing. Could you use it in a sentence? My boss is an ignoramus. Dude. Yeah, that's perfect. Go back to the podcast now. And Luke, one last thing, could you use it in a sentence? My boss is an ignoramus. Dude. Yeah, but okay, now this is also gonna be in the fucking podcast, Matt. Okay, I need you to stop talking while I'm recording. I didn't know you're recording. Yeah, well, I'm over I'm clearly fucking ending the goddamn
Starting point is 00:05:57 podcast. Okay, our stuff with iPhones, video, the MOV file, I do not care. This does not need to be in the podcast. I'm hoping that he chose to go for something that would not be hurtful if we were to watch the podcast ourselves. Like I'm hoping he chose like whatever is on Google as the sentence, like whatever's on Webster Dictionary and not, you know, he didn't craft his own sentence with it.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Which I would give him credit for for being creative, because that requires more work, but at the the same time if it was hurtful towards You and I the hosts of the show it would It wouldn't sit right with me And it would upset me if I'm being frank But you're Matt come on I knew you were good I set you dude I know you too well. I knew you were gonna say that a swing and a hit It's like I I teed it up for you
Starting point is 00:06:47 It's like I I tossed the baseball in the air and you fucking swung that bat and made contact Well because you're so skinny you're like the t-ball stand because I still have to use those to get a good hit on the Ball because it's still hard the track nice the ball in motion on my head like a of the ball in motion. And I put the ball on my head, like the apple and the arrow thing, but instead of shooting an arrow, it's you're swinging the baseball bat.
Starting point is 00:07:11 We gotta start doing that when we bring our live shows back, when we bring our McGee and Watson circus. Yeah, no, I actually think if future live shows, we should try to incorporate more of like a blue man group aesthetic of doing like crazy tricks and stunts. Can we just be the the red man group or like the white man group? The yellow man group? That probably wouldn't go over well.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Yellow man is a great reggae singer. There's a great reggae singer named yellow man. Okay. Nattie sat upon the rock is a fantastic song by him. There's that that's this week's Super Mega song recommendation by the way. I love songs with rocks in them. Mm-hmm. But yeah, I'm thinking maybe we could do some stunts,
Starting point is 00:07:54 some tricks, some illusions even. Like maybe you could make me levitate or something. Or saw me in half. Or you could get a real like a crossbow and shoot an apple on top of my head. I think we should just go with the idea that we had since it would be original to us where we put a baseball on top of your head and I have to swing as hard as I can and hit the baseball with an aluminum bat. It'd be crazy because like first show of that tour I'm probably
Starting point is 00:08:26 brain dead. Like if you swing an aluminum bat as hard as I can and you hit me right here like right in the side of the head like the temple that's lights out. Because you know sometimes even on a tee-ball you hit the bottom of that t and you go Well I would probably do that but I wouldn't come back up I don't know dude I think that would more than knock me out I'm pretty sure that would give me brain damage Maybe a wooden bat That would change anything
Starting point is 00:08:59 It would be a funny crack sound comparatively No what's funnier the crack sound, the da or the ding. I think they both have equal like opportunity to be funny. Yeah, so I think the wooden baseball bat would probably be a more like visceral like where the the aluminum baseball bat would also be visceral but where the aluminum baseball bat would also be visceral, but it might have that slight, depending on where it hits my skull, could have like a real high, nice metallic ring to it, like a C sharp or something.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yeah. People would think we're doing some kind of bit. If we did that, they'd be like, oh, ha ha. And then I don't get up and would that kill me? Be hitting the head with a baseball bat? If you swung it as hard as you could. Yes. I think it would kill me. Yeah And if it doesn't kill you it would I think I would riddle you brainless. It would riddle me brainless. I would be a rendered
Starting point is 00:10:01 dumb deaf and mute by the by the impact of the bat. I mean, to be fair, I think that would be most people's reaction to being hit in the head with an aluminum or wooden baseball bat. I doubt, you know, like in shows and stuff, the show is like, dah! And they go, oh, and then they wake up like, oh man, someone hit me in the head really hard.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Good thing I'm conscious now an hour or two later. Yeah, I love it in shows and movies. Someone will get hit as hard as they can get hit with a crowbar or a baseball bat, and they get knocked out and then like, later in the scene they get back up and they're fine. And it's like, no, your brain would be hemorrhaging. You'd have to go to a doctor.
Starting point is 00:10:43 You'd have to go to more than a doctor. You'd have to go to a trauma center You'd have to go to more than a doctor. You'd have to go to like a trauma center, like helicoptered out of that venue to like the nearest trauma center. It's so convenient whenever they knock them out with one like, sometimes it's like the hilt of a gun, you know, like, boom. And it's instant.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Or like a pistol whip. I feel like in real life, it's not that easy to render someone unconscious on your first try like that Depending on the brain protecting itself by shutting down right, but it's like in Every like action movie. It's like every every hit is like boom unconscious. They did it they get back up though Yeah, unless they're the well well I guess the villains in like more geared towards kid movies when it's just like they get hit with a dart and they go and they pass out oh that could be another trick we do at the show like if you do manage to hit the
Starting point is 00:11:39 baseball off and we're like okay well fuck we didn't have anything else plan for the rest of the show we just planned on killing we didn't plan past this we could do the thing where it's like I'm I'm like strapped to the the big circle and I'm like you're spinning and you're throwing knives blindfolded or darts even yeah we need the we need the maybe darts Or axe throwing sorry. I just took a sip of water And it's doing that thing where like I feel like I because I haven't really eaten much today. It's like hydrating it's so no no no no it's like
Starting point is 00:12:17 Uncomfortable and kind of painful because it's like the coldness of the water is Going down into my empty stomach and it's creating this like sore feeling of like, oh. I love the feeling of a cold liquid as it spreads down into my stomach chambers. You don't like a duck. We just need to get some bread just so I could just. Well, ducks shouldn't have bread. Yeah, guys, that's just want to point that out real quick.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Should not give ducks bread. It expands in their stomach They can die. I do have a lot of fond memories of feeding bread to ducks as a kid. It's fun It seems like they loved it. They do they absolutely do. I mean like You're giving a duck bread, you know, it's used to eating fucking like pond bugs. So you give a duck bread It's it's like mmm. It's having the fucking time of its life. Do the sound of uh It's a good like ASMR sound for me when they're eating like peas or something and like cuz they put it in like a bowl with water
Starting point is 00:13:09 Oh, yeah, do for them to eat ducks ducks going going just nuts on on some peas some bread Luke Can you put a video and sound for the audio? You know it's just you know just put the video in but leave this That was the empty pocket coming out hold on one second I had to swallow just to prepare you know for the podcast no I threw up a little in my mouth I'm not sick I promise okay you don't have like norovirus or anything to eat something need to eat something. The thing is, Matt, I did eat something today. I had some of those Choco shrooms and a bag of cheese and with a little mini bag of Cheez-Its. Hmm. I mean that should have done the trick. That should have been enough sustenance.
Starting point is 00:13:57 So it's my salts. It's my sugars. My sugars. There's some grains in there. You know, know cheese. It's they're kind of like bread Yeah, it's that's grain and cheese. You've got you've got cheese like part of the of the food group God do we still are there still because I we grew up with the food pyramid in our in our like Nurses office and just like up in the school and any classroom would have like a basic food pyramid yeah and it was like in our lessons that's not that's been thrown out right oh they're bringing it back are they bringing it
Starting point is 00:14:32 back we're gonna bring back that pyramid you got M&M's and a kratom shot every day he he was having his blue slime with his McDonald's or no he was having his blue slime with his McDonald's. Or no, he was having his blue- Dude, is methylene blue? His blue slime with his coffee. Are you talking about the fucking blue, it looks like blue food coloring that he drops into his water? That's like some shit like a Marvel villain does
Starting point is 00:14:56 to like counteract the virus he has. To like keep it down long enough, because if he doesn't have it for more than like five hours, it starts like, Dude, RFK's gonna turn the fucking blue Hulk Hulk dude. Well, that's why he's so red Imagine that coming at you it would look like it would look like kind of like Beast from X-Men But Hulkified even more sure Cheryl Hines knows all about what that looks like Oh, do you know a beast from X-Men looks like he's the he's the blue furry
Starting point is 00:15:24 Mm-hmm for fur he's not a furry. Okay. Well, he is hairy. Well, do you know what Beast from X-Men looks like? He's the blue furry. He's not a furry. Well, he is hairy. Well, he could be a furry. He's blue and he's furry. It's more like a mutation though. It's not like a costume he puts on. See, I like to imagine RFK Jr. is like the guy from Watchmen, the blue guy with the penis out all the time. He takes his like methylene blue drops every day and turns into that. He's walking around the corridors of the White House like, excuse me, where's the bathroom? Dude, he um, pleasuring his wife while solving all these diseases, while figuring out the root of autism. I mean that's actually, actually RFK figured it out
Starting point is 00:16:08 while pleasuring his wife actually, he was fingering Cheryl and figured out the cause of autism. The White House updated their like CDC, like COVID, like COVID.gov, whatever thing. Yeah, I did the graphic design for it. That's what I, I was just gonna mention that because it's it's the whole thing is like kind of doing the the lab theory like a like a PowerPoint
Starting point is 00:16:29 on the lab theory but what I'm what I think is hilarious is the the header is like Donald Trump like walking dramatically like strutting towards the camera and like I think COVID-19 is in like a handwritten tech like font I like a calligraphy font. I was like, why is he right here on the header walking towards the camera? What does this have to do with it? It's very, he's been striking me very Kim Jong-un
Starting point is 00:16:56 recently, especially with that health shit where he's like, I'm 224 and 6'3". 6'3", with heels on, I can imagine. Or with nice boots, you know? Sure, that's why he gained an inch. Some people fudge their height, whatever the hell, by an inch or whatever, it's fine. Oh, I'm six when a guy's really like,
Starting point is 00:17:15 like he tells the driver's license people, it's like hey, I'm six foot, but he's really like 5'10". 5'11", yeah. You know, 5'11". So whatever, but like the 224 is the one that's just kinda like... Well the 224 is the one that's just kind of like Well, 224 would be more believable if he was like 5'10 You know when you add a couple inches of height that significantly increases the weight of somebody so it's like
Starting point is 00:17:38 You know well, he's bigger than I am and I'm around that height So I mean I think you know the tallness kind of takes away from no, because that adds, you're right. Yeah, it adds weight. So that's why I was saying like, it'd be more believable if that was the weight and it was like 5'10 or 5'9, but you know, I'm not the White House doctor, you know?
Starting point is 00:17:58 I don't know what I'm talking about. All I know is that I'm gonna enjoy my methylene blue later when I'm dropping the drops of it into my water and it does not turn your it turns your brain blue. Dude we have fucking real life Scrooge McDuck as president except unfortunately he has no love for his nephews. No love for like anything close to him. I feel bad for his nephews.
Starting point is 00:18:23 He has sons but he more he more likes his nephews. He has sons. But he more likes his nephews. I don't know if he has much love for his sons. Or one of them at least. He named him Don Jr. Yeah he likes Don Jr. But Eric, you don't hear too much about Eric. What is Eric up to? We hear a lot out of Eric.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Unfortunately. I'm kidding. Can someone get that person out of here? He's not as loud actually. I think, right, it's Don Jr. is the loud, kind of obnoxious one on Twitter, right? Don Jr., yeah, he's the one. Are they both loud and obnoxious? No.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Just Don Jr. gets more attention? I don't see Eric ever. Eric looks like Jonah Hill could have played him very well in like a biopic. Like older, or Jonah Hill from like 10 years ago. But I think that Don is the one that's like just always tweaking on Coke. Like every interview, every news thing, he is 100% coked out.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And I don't think that's even a conspiracy theory at this point. Like you just have to watch it, and if you've ever been around someone that's on cocaine, you can very easily see the cocaine usage. Fucking freak. Who doesn't love a little cocaine though, right? I'll let him enjoy his stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Will you? Sounds like you're judging the man for just doing a little coke. Actually, coke, it's good.

Well, one night we got a vision from the heavens and it simply said one word, Shopify. So we looked it up and it turns out that Shopify is the e-commerce platform behind millions of businesses.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I mean, we're literally talking about 10% of e-commerce in the United States of America.

Starting point is 00:24:03 Hold your wee for a wee. Oh, that's right, because they were holding their piss. It was a radio station back in 2006 did a contest where it's like, who can drink the most water? And if you can drink the most water without having to go pee, you get a Nintendo Wii. And it's actually very sad. This woman, she drank a lot of water and she died because you're a apparently too much water is a bad thing your cells like fill with it so is she
Starting point is 00:24:32 like disqualified yeah she didn't didn't win the week ooh sorry she is out God like a bed like I mean honestly just like I mean with stuff like Howard Stern and shit it wouldn't surprise me if there were some like radio jockeys there there are there there was a whole era of radio jockeys being callison like we're the edgy people starski and hutch whatever the fuck
Starting point is 00:24:59 their names yeah oh be an empty do you think that is key to hutch do you think they the radio station at least like gave the family a Nintendo Wii? Free Wii's for life! It's like, listen guys. We'll always be making a Wii because of what happened for this family specifically. Do you think the family got the Wii?
Starting point is 00:25:19 Or do you think they didn't? Do you think someone else took the Wii home that day and they were like, well, it kind of feels, it's kind of tainted for me now. I can't really enjoy my, like, you know, they're setting up their new Nintendo Wii and they're like opening up the Mii Maker to create themselves and they're like giggling with their friends making like a funny Mii but like deep down they're like, ugh. The guilt is what you're saying? Yeah. They're kind of like, oh, this is tainted now.
Starting point is 00:25:44 She ruined it for me. I Still like the idea for free wheeze for life The radio station doing that mm-hmm because of the death honestly they they kind of have a responsibility and a duty to do that like responsibility and a duty to do that like Sorry, ladies and gentlemen Matt might be unaware of what he just did but I'm gonna let him I'm gonna let him try to retract that that statement to see if he wants another go at that I think that the radio station has a responsibility
Starting point is 00:26:18 Okay, good do that. Okay Whoo man as a 29 year old grown-ass man, I still Cannot hear someone say duty without it at least crosses my mind or do do Yeah, when someone's like you you do do this, you know, it's like that It's a pot every single time. It'll it'll it'll click in my head. Even if I don't say anything. Well, it's a primal Instinct from our caveman days. It is, it is. It's how we would connect and grow bonds with one another. It's an evolutionary response,
Starting point is 00:26:53 us recognizing when someone says doo-doo or doody. We've evolved over millions of years to have that trait. It's actually very interesting how it works. I really just wanna go back and stress that you can overdose on cocaine and especially fentanyl Just want to cover and water and water and salt Yep, soy sauce salt. I mean really you can you can overdose on anything Oxygen. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, you can overdose on oxygen carbon Oxygen. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, you can overdose on oxygen carbon
Starting point is 00:27:31 Dioxide even monoxide believe it or not, even though it smells wonderful. Yeah, that's the I didn't think that was possible Well, it's carbon monoxide doesn't even smell like anything No, it doesn't dude what a crazy ass like killer It's the silent killer it is because you don't hear it. You don't smell it and all of a sudden you're it's like You just die. Yeah, I read a like a reddit article about that happening and it I just went to Amazon immediately and got like an extra Carbon monoxide did like wall plug-in just in case. Okay, so every smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector in my house I ripped out of the ceiling and I have not replaced them yet. So.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I think that's, I don't think that's. It's not illegal. I don't think that's cool. Why? Okay, so when we were filming Eldenrig, do you remember my smoke alarm upstairs started going, beep! It started just deciding it was gonna die right? Yeah started filming
Starting point is 00:28:28 So I took the battery out Kept doing it because it was wired so I had to unscrew it from the ceiling and then like disconnect the wires And then within about a like two-day period the other three in my house all started doing it so I guess like the battery I guess they had all been like turned on at the same time you went mad you you turned into a madman and ripped them all shut the fuck up yes because it was doing it like 5 a.m. and I go around your house with a hammer why I didn't know with a hammer you know I'm not a I'm not I'm not a savage beast but I did well you grew them all you learned
Starting point is 00:29:06 I I want to say you you know you were young and impressionable you might have you might have learned that from Markiplier Yeah, when it would be he would but I can't from when he tore out the window ceiling fan Yes, and cut the wires. I don't want to be a stickler but just to correct you it was a chandelier. Oh a chandelier. It was a hanging chandelier. Was it also, it was, but it was a lamp as well because light came from it right? It was like a hanging chandelier light fixture and he cut the wire. It was supposed to be, like there's supposed to be a table I guess underneath it but we didn't have one there so we would walk and I had my head on it. Yeah Like once or twice and and he hit his head a couple times and the last time he was like I've had it and just
Starting point is 00:29:54 Ripped it from the fucking ceiling and cut the wires and then it was just there just some open wires just Didn't hit my head on those. Did he close them off with like no, I don't think so God it was like a there should have been reality TV show cameras in that house We had a great time that honestly would have been awesome and then we could do like confessionals where it's like so He hit his head again and like I just didn't expect him to you know rip it out of the ceiling I was tired of it As he's like ripping out the ceiling it's like zooming in on our faces watching just kind of like and off the boys were for their daily round of
Starting point is 00:30:40 Was it uh their daily round of rock climbing and denny's? Lion with the usual mango slush. Dude, I was about to bring that up. We would go to Denny's, get the mango, dude, the mango smoothies were, they were good. They were delicious. And I would get- They probably still are delicious.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Remember the, the sizzle bowls or the skillets? That's what we would get. The like Santa Fe skillet they had. This was 10 years ago. Oh my god, you're right. So I don't know if they still have that on the menu. In fact, something I wanted to bring up, speaking of 10 years ago, is guess what is a few weeks away?
Starting point is 00:31:29 Actually, about two weeks exactly from today yeah two weeks from today it's the 10 year anniversary of when we met no wait was it in May it was in May 2015 yeah I thought you visited before that I thought you visited in like for some reason reason, like April or something. No, so I finished my... That's right, and you stayed till June? I finished my college semester and you and Daniel had invited me out to come to make some videos. We hadn't met yet.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I didn't invite you at all. Let's be clear. Daniel invited me out to make some videos. Let's be clear about that, bucko. Yeah. Well, I do remember the first time we spoke was on a Skype call. I was in my dorm room, and it was you and Daniel.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And I don't think you said a word. I mean, I'm pretty silent when I meet new people in general. I don't think that's not just for you. No, I know, I know. It takes me a while to warm up. No, I'm trying to grab your hand as a sign of friendship and camaraderie for a decade of man love But you know a decade of brother love a decade of brother on brother love. That's right brother e brother love Mm-hmm and actually mono e mono. That's what it means. Is that man and man? Mm-hmm
Starting point is 00:32:38 No way. Yeah, it means man to man like sex like gay sex But yeah, I came out in May. I flew out to California for the first time in May, and it was May, I believe May 5th. May the 5th be with you? No way. Yeah, but I flew out and I was only gonna stay a week, I think.
Starting point is 00:33:03 First time in California, crashed on the couch, we made Fuck Your Mom, I think, no, no, no, no, no, we made the Loud Noise Scare Prank video. And then I also think that- That was gone because they took it down for violence or something. Because I got shot in the head in the video and they were like, that was just too real guys.
Starting point is 00:33:23 And then- We did shoot you in the back of the, it was hilarious though. Yeah, that was just too real, guys. And then. We did shoot you in the back of the, it was hilarious though. Yeah, it was good. But we also did, that's when we made Blonde Boys, because I extended my stay. Yep. Because the three of us were just having
Starting point is 00:33:34 such a god dang good time. We wanted to make more videos. And I was like, yeah, mom, I'm extending my trip a little bit. And she said, Matthew, you don't even know these guys. You just flew out to California to meet them. Are you sure this is what you wanna do? And I said, later bitch, beep.
Starting point is 00:33:52 And then I stayed on my trip for like what, two more weeks? And I stayed for like three weeks and we made blonde boys during that time. We did. And that was very fun. So I can't believe it's about to be a decade of knowing you. It's been over a decade of knowing of me. It has been, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:12 But not a decade of man to man contact. Right, the first time I ever made man to man contact was May 2015. I like referring it to that, man to man contact. Man on man contact was May 5th, 2019. Or 2015. I like referring it to the man-to-man contact. Man-on-man contact was May 5th, 2019. Or 2015. Football is a man-on-man contact sport. It is, it's a heavy man-on-man sport.
Starting point is 00:34:33 A lot of man-to-man touching, a lot of man-to-man grabbing and squeezing. Well, touching is a major focus in baseball too. You have to run around and try to touch the batter before he gets to a plate and he's in his little safe space. If you're an infielder and you catch the ball you have to chase after and try to touch him with your ball, with the ball. He has to go, ahhhh! He has to run away! What, did sports are for straight guys? That's the stereotype?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Sometimes they get caught in the middle. They'll be throwing it back and forth. They'll be like, ah, ah, whoa! They'll be running towards one base. First, we'll throw it to second. Second, we'll throw it back to first. He'll be going, ah, ah, ah! And they'll start getting closer and closer and pinching them off.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Playing a game of pickle. And after the game, you're telling me they all go into a locker room and get fucking naked together, slap each other's asses, and this is what straight guys are supposed to like? And then when I don't like sports, my dad is yelling at me, saying, Matthew, why aren't you more straight?
Starting point is 00:35:32 Look, watch this MMA video with me. And this is directly after you showed him your tap dancing routine that you worked months on. Yeah, so I was already in a bad mood that he didn't like it, and he put on a video of two sweaty, almost naked men, you know, ripping each other, you know, veins bulging, just, and I said, this is what straight men like. Sit down and watch. They also like WWE.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Oh yeah. And let me tell you, some shit's going down in WWE. Oh, I saw. John Cena is the mean man now. He's the mean man of WWE, because every now and then, WWE gets a really big, like, the villain, what they call the mean man.
Starting point is 00:36:16 And so John Cena is the mean man in this arc, I guess. It's as does he actually go by the mean man? The mean man! No I think it's called the heel, right? But that's just a term for Yeah you're playing the heels John Cena walking on like six inch stilettos
Starting point is 00:36:38 The whole crowd is booing him The mean man! He's wearing like just fucking like really tight jorts. Dude, I would, I would, I would, WWE is fun. I had a short WWE phase in like 2020 and really I just watched a lot of old WWE videos on YouTube and did you get the arcs? Were you like ever invested in like an arc that was going on Where you was this like the the Hulk Hogan era of WWE or were you watching like modern?
Starting point is 00:37:11 Okay, so I was watching mainly Vince McMahon arcs or like Vince McMahon would like fight God or he was hiring a new Secretary didn't fight Donald Trump fight Donald Trump and he dropped him. It was pretty... so that was before Vince McMahon was you know everyone you know found out he was a bad dude. I just knew him from the meme where he's like... Oh he's the guy who's continuously like freaking out. Like getting more and more exaggerated. And he's a very good theatrical actor on stage, I will say. His facial expressions are just phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I mean, there's a gift for a reason. Yeah, and he has committed war crimes and unfortunately that came to light and I can't enjoy the meme anymore. But WWE is fun. And I will say it's not as good as traditional, just sweaty man on man wrestling. Man on man MMA, some bare knuckle boxing. See, that shit's hard to fucking watch for me
Starting point is 00:38:24 because every punch to the head, I'm just like fuck. It's like that's that that shit's hard to fucking watch for me cuz at every punch to the like head I'm just like that's a real fucking punch. It's like The dude the the MMA fighting where you know, no gloves or anything. They're just actually like punching and kicking each other It's like fuck but isn't technically like boxing gloves more traumatic I Might be fucking wrong on this of course because we're this is a comedy podcast and we're idiots But isn't it like? Because of the force generated by the mass of the gloves it is more dangerous to fight with boxing gloves than bare-knuckle box
Starting point is 00:38:57 dude Getting punched in the face with a boxing glove Doesn't hurt. It's fine. I've been through the I've been through the ringer and it it it's a boxing glove doesn't hurt, it's fine. I've been through the ringer and it's fine, it doesn't hurt. Here's a clip. Ha ha ha ha ha. Pfft. What an embarrassing debacle for myself.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It's only embarrassing now because someone else got the record for shortest boxing match. I know, that's why I'm embarrassed. It pisses me off. But think about it. Doesn't put you at the very bottom anymore. But doesn't that, as I just said, make it worse? It makes it an embarrassment
Starting point is 00:39:34 because it's not even, you can't be like, yeah, it's not like a point of conversation. My dad was fiddling with the television set when my fight was about to start. And he's like hold on I'm gonna pull it up and he got it on and it was over. Wait really? Yeah he was like did it already happen? And they started showing like slo-mo replays of me just getting the absolute shit beat out of myself it was it was I'll go on the
Starting point is 00:39:58 record and just say it hurt it did not feel very good. Matt I mean in all fairness you were fighting the invisible man. Mm hmm. And he chose to go in without boxing gloves and without shorts or anything. And it pisses me off that that Nathan Barnett used that to his advantage to pretend like he was beating me up. Yeah. You know, just standing behind the invisible man. Well, he did. He did all the work. And then he got to be the big hero when it's like,
Starting point is 00:40:27 okay dude, well you didn't actually do anything. Sorry, I just had an idea of like, the invisible twins doing like a Cirque du Soleil act and it's just like an empty auditorium of just like, just nothing's happening. Yeah! They're doing like flips and shit but like, you can hear the, you can hear like the,
Starting point is 00:40:48 and the, of their hands like, like clasping together when they catch each other. Yeah. I don't know why that's funny to me. Just echoing it so stupid. The spotlights moving around, like following them. Or they would be.
Starting point is 00:41:07 There's no shadows or anything. Just like two spotlights. You see the dust of the dust. Like, whatever. So stupid. Up, up. Then the ring of fire is just there for a second. And then everyone else goes, whoa!
Starting point is 00:41:23 You're like, oh, yeah, sure. You could see the like slightly like get blown by like the wind as they go by and you're like, oh That's just what my head that's what I was thinking that's fantastic dude, that's really great There were you know, there was a family of uh, of circus freaks Okay, well we'll see it we'll see if you really want to stay stick by that one When I finish telling this story, it's free. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Sorry. It was a family called the flying walendas Okay, and they uh They did a really great the fly Flying walendas cuz that was their last name. The flying Walindas
Starting point is 00:42:05 It would be like if it was the flying McGee's or the flying Watson It sounds like the fly like it sounds like a character out of the Fairly Odd Parents Like Wanda's mom Walinda. There's some shit like that now I'm imagining like some like Woman, you know Maybe used to work at the DMV gives it all up to go like work it as like a tightrope walker and her name is Walinda and she's the flying Walinda she cloned herself there's just like six Walinda's it's
Starting point is 00:42:35 crazy okay so the Walinda's this family yeah and they um father mother sister brother I don't know I can't give you this. Is that a song? Father, mother, sister, brother? Sister, brother. Da na na na. Na na na na. I don't know. Yeah, you're thinking of, hello mother, hello father. Na na na na.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Kinkanana. Okay, what is that? No more tees, no more fleas and ticks. They don't bother. It was also, they did a parody of it in a K-9 Advantics commercial back in the 2000s, if y'all remember that one. But basically it was a family
Starting point is 00:43:12 and they did this tightrope routine where it's like one person walking the tightrope, holding a balance beam with two brothers on either side, holding up chairs with the other ones in it. so they were doing like doing this type of shit yeah, essentially the whole family though crossing a tight a tightrope and they They thought that ropes were or they thought that safety nets were for pussies and they died That was on the poster safety nets are for pussies and they won't die so they just fell once?
Starting point is 00:43:46 In front of a crowd and uh... Ouch. Aichi Wawa. Yeah, they had a stereotypical Mexican man dressed up in like a sombrero and right when they hit the ground... Well it was the white theater manager.
Starting point is 00:44:02 He dressed up in a sombrero and put a they didn't have a mustache on so he put on a Groucho Marx glasses on. He thought Groucho Marx was Mexican. It was a whole thing. But he was there as comedic relief in case they fell. So they fell, he jumps out and goes, ah, chihuahua. And then everyone left.
Starting point is 00:44:19 And again, this is back in a time where no one was really calling anyone out for that type of shit. So it kind of flew outored the radar in that case. And now in 2025 you and I just want to go on the record and say that was not okay. No. At all. But yeah, they died. Maybe not all of them, but I think one of them survived and went on to keep doing it.
Starting point is 00:44:41 And then- Roma's? What are they called? The Flying? Shit! What? keep doing it and then what are they called the flying what I promised my parents I would call them so it's not too late sorry I know that I know that was a Bit out of the blue, but the McGee's always have a family check-in We're all 85 members have to have to be on a zoom call and it's more just an attendance thing We just do a roll call make sure everyone's good. Yeah, but sorry about that. I would love to sit in on one
Starting point is 00:45:23 You know, I've been asking for months or more I mean years actually you're not a you're not you know, your last name is Watson not McGee It doesn't matter what my last name is. I feel like I'm part of the family This is more in a literal sense. We're just keeping track of a of the Klan, you know undercover FBI agents be like Did I saw that movie black Klansman What about the one I think that was he was just a police officer What about the one with Daniel Larson Daniel Radcliffe? I did not see that one, but I have seen a certain scene period
Starting point is 00:45:58 Where he's at a march and then one of his friends is like hey buddy, and then he turns around and Says one of the friends is like, hey buddy, and then he turns around and says one of the worst words in human history. Now I'm imagining that movie, but it's Daniel Larson and I'm wishing that that was a reality. I think he would do a good job. You wish it was Daniel Larson screaming that you wish it was a reality of Daniel Larson
Starting point is 00:46:19 at a march screaming a. No, anyway, back to the flying Willindas. So I wanna look at a picture of the Willindas. You'll be impressed by what they could pull off. They had this famous seven human pyramid, okay? And the human Willindas? Flying Willindas. And flying they certainly were.
Starting point is 00:46:39 In 1962, I think, they fell at a show. Two of them died and one of them was paralyzed. You looked this up. in 1962 I think, they fell at a show. Two of them died and one of them was paralyzed. You looked this up. Yeah, one of them was paralyzed from the waist down. And then they performed the next night after that, after two of them dying and one of them becoming paralyzed, they were like, oh, the show must go on. And then one of the main guys died
Starting point is 00:47:06 while tightroping between two buildings in Puerto Rico because the wind was really strong. And he went whoop. And then in 2017, I didn't know they were still doing shit. In 2017, they had a training accident where everyone survived but very injured. So guys, tightrope walking, no good. Just don't, just stay away from it.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Just don't do any of it. Not safe. Not safe for work. I mean, there's a bunch of accidents even in the like Vegas shows and stuff. When I saw Cirque du Soleil, one girl like fell and she like got back up and continued the act but she had like blood going all the way down her leg. Jesus. From like I guess she cut herself when she fell or
Starting point is 00:47:52 something but I do remember that I was like damn that was in Orlando Florida They were like go off Queen. They were amazing. Underlined, italicizedized bold exclamation point mmm amazing and not strike through I just have nothing to say because I've never seen one of their shows and fortunately I believe I mean I've I've seen I I've already seen the best iteration of those shows by seeing the blue man group at such a young age so unfortunately for me I think it's all spoiled nothing will ever come close to the Blue Man group or at least my first
Starting point is 00:48:26 Tour Allah Blue Man group. You never forget your first time with the Blue Man No, you don't dude. It was Mindfuck it dude. It was it was mind-blowing. I was a young lad. I was too man. I was like 22 I was in my like early teens this would have been teens, maybe I saw them in 2019 and Good god, dude I went thinking that it was gonna be cheesy and dumb and stupid and I sat like center like three rows from the front and
Starting point is 00:49:04 Oh my god, I did they play any memes Because they played some memes they made some videos and remixes of of some stuff that they played for the audience at mine I don't I don't know if they were you lucky enough to get any blue man group memes. I was I don't think I was I remember what it what it was a remix of well. It it? I think it was the office space and it's when they're talking about like your O face, your orgasm face. Right. And they remixed the O O O O face. It was just a remix of that, of him saying that.
Starting point is 00:49:38 They're just making YouTube poops live. They were. It was just a YouTube. Dinner. Dinner. That's all it was. O were. It was just a year. Dinner. Dinner. That's all it was. Oh, face. Oh, oh, oh, oh, face.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Then they came out, put some paint on some drums, and ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Oh, dude, the paint on the drums. Dude, insane. Dude, when the paint goes on the drums, that's like when the hibachi chef comes out with the onion volcano. Oh, my god.
Starting point is 00:50:01 When he starts cutting up the onion, you're like, oh. Dude, here it comes, buddy oh dude, here it comes buddy. Yeah, here it comes. You're not prepared for this. The jump scare too with the BAH when he, man I really hated when he would do that shit. The watch chef would be like, BAH! He would just fight or flight, you know. No, it activates it for sure.
Starting point is 00:50:17 What's going on? And then like five seconds later my fucking eyebrows are burning off because he's like BOOOM. He throws a shrimp your way, hits you in the face you have shrimp grease all over you tastes good though though there is something I will say it's unfair because those shrimp that they throw out that he like does up and flips at you they don't they taste better than the shrimp they give you as part of the meal they put a little more stank on them and I just thought I would
Starting point is 00:50:44 voice that, and if anyone else agrees with me, I'm starting a class action lawsuit. Luke's already drafted it up. Granted, it's in marker. Luke, can you show it real quick? I mean, if you wanna be a part of this class action lawsuit, just email the White House.
Starting point is 00:51:05 And it's gone to a federal level. Luke, by the way, the diagrams you drew were very nice. And yeah, you know, I was never good at catching them. I got hit in the face once or twice. Get the shrimp grease on my face. My dad is deathly allergic to shellfish. We actually found out at a hibachi place because I got hit in the face, I had to grease my forehead,
Starting point is 00:51:30 he came and he kissed it off and had a reaction. Well he used his tongue because he likes the taste. Like, mm. Yeah. It was like an open mouth, like. But it wasn't sensual, it wasn't sexual. No, it wasn't sexual, and people make it out to be sexual which is fucked up you know it's a father and son just doing father-son stuff you know like we got yeah same thing so he was
Starting point is 00:51:52 taking the finger out of the equation yeah well imagine that's how my dad actually found out. You got a little grease on you. Like five minutes later he's like, I think I gotta step out some more. What's the last thing you remember, Dale? He threw a shrimp at me. Oh man. I love that they do not, and maybe I'm wrong and someone can point me to one, because I
Starting point is 00:52:30 am desperate. I have not found a place out in Los Angeles that does hibachi the way the South, like South Carolina, the South does. Dude, the South, when it comes to hibachis, they're on another level. They've got the mayo sauce, first of all, which is a- They have it out here, but it's, you know. It's a Southern thing, though, apparently. Like, it really started as a Southern thing.
Starting point is 00:52:52 But just the way they cook everything, Benihana isn't that- Fuck Benihana, dude. Benihana isn't him, is all I'm saying. No, Benihana fell off, dude. And I'm talking about anything similar to like Miyabis or Yamato's back in South Carolina. It's the same too we had in Charleston. Because fuck man
Starting point is 00:53:09 like I've I've even tried some some uh there's like hibachi food trucks and I'll every now and then it's like it's not the same. Is there a place that does it like like is there one place that's a diamond in the rough out in Los Angeles? I mean it's Los Angeles there's gotta be but it's like maybe and maybe we're looking at it with rose tinted glasses. I'm not I go to Miyabi's probably well now it's more like once every two years. Are you sure we're not just blinded by the nostalgia and the specialness of it? No I get Miyabi's I used to get it like once a year as soon as like two years ago
Starting point is 00:53:46 We're gonna be in South Carolina at the same time. I think we should go We should go to one. You know what? I haven't been actually in longer Mama Kim's I knew you're gonna say I think we does people deserve a Mama Kim's vlog. Oh, yeah, the guys finally go to Mama Kim's we meet Mama Kim. I have met Mama Kim's vlog. Oh yeah. The guys finally go to Mama Kim's. We meet Mama Kim. I have met Mama Kim, she's nice. Sometimes she's behind the counter cooking. I will say, I think, unfortunately Mama Kim's is dead?
Starting point is 00:54:21 I think they're problematic, Matthew. I can't remember some, all I remember is like something, I think it're problematic, Matthew. I can't remember something. All I remember is something, I think it was during the Black Lives Matters protest. They, it did get burned down, the establishment. That is true. Or it caught on fire, and then they repaired it. But, you know, ignorance is bliss. I just want some of that delicious fucking rice
Starting point is 00:54:42 and meat and sauce. I will drown that shit in the sauce until I want to vomit mama Kim's just like We need to go on a like a cold day Because I can't do mama Kim's when we're fucking well, we're gonna be on a hot Summer's day. It's gonna be hot as fuck when we're both in South Carolina Can we just wait till winter to I'm'm kidding. Sure, I mean we can. No, we can go summertime. No, dude, Yamato's, we go to Yamato's,
Starting point is 00:55:08 it's air conditioned. Miyabi's is better in my opinion. I don't have a opinion because it's, they're both the same to me in my head because I actually don't know if I can differentiate which one was which, I just went to them for birthdays. Miyabi's rice comes with no vegetables by default. And that's why you like them? Mm-hmm. Like they don't put peas in it. No, they still have the
Starting point is 00:55:29 hibachi vegetables. They just don't put the peas and carrots in it. In it? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Like you still have the hibachi like onions and all that stuff. Yeah, zucchini. They just don't have the, as I said, corn, carrots, and peas or whatever the hell they put in. I don't think there's corn. Peas and carrots. It's actually crazy. The guy that founded Benihana, it's Steve Aoki's dad. And he went to prison for a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:58 For being bad at replicating hibachi meals. They had him at gunpoint, made him come out of his house with his hands on his head saying Mr. Aoki, you know walk backwards towards me slowly your restaurants Absolutely are not it. Well, it's just like it's not like it's a tough formula Like I don't think they have like like Miyabis or Yamato's has this like Coca-Cola, you know the Coca-Cola secret recipe, you know. Well, I think it's because Benihana's is mass reproduced, right, and it's like, it's a chain where like the ones you and I went to were like local.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Like. There's still local chains. Local chains, they exist in, I don't know if they exist. Do they exist outside of South Carolina? I don't know if these specific ones did, but I know that the ones you and I went to were both in Charleston and Columbia. And Benihana on the other hand is like, you know, that's fucking McDonald's. You know, it's huge.
Starting point is 00:56:53 It's expensive though. It is. It's like just as expensive. It's not more expensive because it's in LA. I didn't go to Benihana until I was an adult because we didn't have it in Charleston. Oh, same. I was an adult because we didn't have it in Charleston. Oh same I went to Benihana to try to get that uh Miyabi slash Yamato's I was I had a hankering for it and I wanted to satisfy that craving and it did not no hibachi out here has satisfied that craving yet they can only it makes me you know I you
Starting point is 00:57:19 know I take that bite and I'm generous with it you know it's kind of like you know it's not bad. It's white sauce with the fried rice and some steak. How hard can it be? It's whatever, I'll eat it, because it's not bad. But it's not that special, it doesn't have that special sauce. It doesn't have that stank that they put on it
Starting point is 00:57:40 in South Carolina. Maybe it's like in South Carolina, they use like fucking like pig's fat or something. And you know out here in California everything's vegan and soy, maybe they're putting soy milk in it. I don't know. Estrogen. Why don't we just make a restaurant?
Starting point is 00:57:56 It's not that, I'm sure it's not hard. Especially a hibachi place. Yeah, just do a hibachi restaurant. Learn to do it ourselves. Probably the hardest restaurant to open and maintain. Also like the liability of like, you're trusting your chefs to just have these sharp things and catch them. And fire.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, fire. That is like inches from the faces of like the patrons. You're supposed to fuck with the fire and they go. And you're also. Make the people go. Ah! You're tossing around a food item that is known to a decently significant part of the population
Starting point is 00:58:30 to be like deathly allergic to. I would hope most people don't go to a place with a seafood allergy. My dad does. Well he was unaware, you know, I guess you're speaking for the people who might be unaware of their allergies, but I don't know how your dad lived to the age of 40 something
Starting point is 00:58:48 to not discover he has a shellfish allergy because he lives in Charleston. There's so much shellfish around to eat. I would imagine he's at least been to a restaurant and had like some shrimp or maybe he's like, I don't like shrimp. Actually my dad, fun story about shellfish allergies and this has made me paranoid.
Starting point is 00:59:05 He developed it later in life. He was in his 20s I think. And he was out at a restaurant. And he had shellfish his whole life, no problem. And then just one day, he just fucking, boop, and then all of a sudden, like, oh, my throat is closing up, uh oh. And then then yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:25 I should get one of those... That makes me want to get one of those like tests where they prick you with a bunch of different things. Those suck. Does it make you go, ow? Dude, I had one maybe like 12, 13 years ago. Were you allergic to a lot of shit? Yeah, and it was, they do it on your back. So they have like, you know, the panels,
Starting point is 00:59:45 they have a ton of little. They take a branch of poison ivy. It's just. Shh. Yeah, it's turning red. That's what it felt like though. Because they push these little like, prick things into your back,
Starting point is 00:59:57 which each little prick thing has a different substance on it. And there was a. Great movie. Fantastic. There was a quadrant of fantastic there was a there was a quadrant of mine that was for different types of tree pollen and that one started going crazy on my back and basically like that area just starts swelling and it itches like you've never itched before in your life and you're
Starting point is 01:00:19 not allowed to scratch do they have itch cream on and they will give it they will put some on afterwards but you have to wait like 10 minutes dude, so I'm sitting there like dying like, fuck! You can't itch it. Why not just get a reaction, they have like a jar of itch cream and it's like to help you out. Obviously like if I'm itching like crazy, I'm allergic to it. I was allergic to, it really was just mainly pollen, but my sister also You know she's 32. I think she um She also got like a shellfish allergy in her late 20s. She was like 29 Maybe 28 could come for you could come this year. That's why I'm kind of scared and you love shellfish
Starting point is 01:01:04 I love shellfish. I love shellfish You love eating them shrimp crackin crawfish crab lobster crawfish crawdads, you know Trying to think of other fish that you eat prawns prawns like in mr. Bean's holiday. That's how I eat them See I hate when they have the faces on I'm like when crawfish have, like, I don't know, it's just like a... Some people like eating the eyes, because it's a fun pop. Yeah. I don't get that. I've done it.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Is it a fun pop? I wouldn't say fun. It's a pop. I think roe is a fun pop. It's different when it's like a, like, you can see the face of the dead creature and it's its eyeball. That's a little bit different than just like this separated sphere that's like, oh, it's an egg.
Starting point is 01:01:44 That was inside it. Yeah. It's like, when you could see its fucking face looking this separated sphere. That's like oh, it's an egg that was inside it Yeah, it's like when you could see its fucking face looking at you, and it's like I'm gonna pop your eye Mmm. No, it's it's it's not fun. See I I just like it when it's you know like a shrimp cocktail It's just like bunch of those fucking pink pink suckers around the rim They just have their tail on you know I can't see their faces a bunch of those fucking pink suckers around the rim. They just have their tail on, you know, I can't see their faces, I can't see their smiles or their frowns, whatever emotion they had before they died, I don't have to see it, like you do with crawfish.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Crawfish. Those, their terrified expressions. Just. AHAHAHAHAHA! An absolutely like cartoonish expression, yeah, like the pinchers, like their claws are like on their head like shocked. Yep.
Starting point is 01:02:32 I think it's fucked how they will do the thing where they will put crabs or lobsters in the boiling water. Alive and boiling water. Yeah. Whoa, it tastes more fresh. It's like, dude, I don't care if it's a little less fresh, if it means that it like, I don't think I'm gonna be able to taste a difference.
Starting point is 01:02:44 And it also like, if the creature didn't suffer then. Isn't there like a way that you do it? I know there's a way that you, there's like a specific way you kill octopus humanely. With a gun. I mean, there's like a way to kill these things in a quote, the right way, like with crabs or with lobsters, there's a way to like in one swoopop kind of just like their brain or whatever the fuck
Starting point is 01:03:07 I can't remember some tick-tock guys like this is there we'll do it on the next episode Yeah, well, we'll bring some in and we'll have Luke come in and give us a demonstration and he'll have various Crustaceans for him to kill live on And he could show us the human way to kill them all But Yeah, dude, I mean I am scared every time I have shellfish. I'm like, is this, and sometimes I get in my head where I'll start being like, is it getting harder to breathe? What do you do in that situation if you have a reaction like you're... Go to the hospital, call an ambulance.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Like your dad called an ambulance at the restaurant, like at the Yamato's? I think so. He really ruined a family dinner? He ruined a great birthday. He made it all about him. I know. I'm like, I guarantee he's not even allergic. He just wanted to make it about himself.
Starting point is 01:03:53 And your sister had to go to the hospital? I don't remember she had to go to the hospital. Or was she testing it like, oh look, I'm allergic to the shellfish now. I think she had a reaction, but I don't think it was like hospital worthy, but it was definitely a reaction. And now I'm scared. shellfish. I think she had I think she had a reaction, but I don't think it was like hospital-worthy but it was definitely a reaction and Now I'm scared I might die this this is gonna sound stupid they probably have epipens in restaurants though
Starting point is 01:04:13 That's that's what I'm saying is the epipen just like a cure-all for whatever the fuck you're going through in terms of like Does it have to be an epipen specifically for? Like if you're allergic to bees it's like I have this No, it's all the same. It's just adrenaline. It's just like basically you just get a massive fucking injection of like pure adrenaline And your body goes AHHHHH Yeah and the main purpose of it is that it opens your airways so like when if your throat and stuff are like swelling shut The adrenaline will like force open your airway so at least you don't like die.
Starting point is 01:04:46 We should do that before doing mail opening videos. Just take a shot of adrenaline. I'm curious what it feels like. Well I mean. Probably not good. In Left him up and you hit him. Hey guys! You're supposed to do it right here. It's an adrenaline shot.
