You know, we had Tucker come in and do some, like, shots and kind of discuss the thing. And it got me, you got me thinking about, like, I want to definitely be taking the shoot and stuff a little more seriously, so I just started taking some masterclass, like Kevin Smith masterclasses. He's a good director. I think, you know, I take, there's like a lot that I find in common,

like, there's a lot he's bestowed upon me. How so? Just, just like, it makes me, like he edits on set and stuff. Okay. It makes me want to do that. It's just a personality as well. He's like a funny goofball, you know?

but I want to I also admire him because he lost a lot of weight and I'm still I'm not I'm not that I'm not like you know they're at that stage of my direct directing career I'm at the weight gain portion of it but that's where everyone loves me and I get iconic characters like is that what the the hat the hat's about huh is that a is that a way he rubbed off on you what what do you mean this is the ryan hat this is the ryan hat no i just i've never seen wear it backwards like that it's just it's a it's a large hat and it's uh well it's fine it's business casual yeah like kevin smith okay is this going to be like a permanent thing i i mean yes okay yeah no it's it's it's

It's great. You don't mind? I was just thinking we could redo some of the branding where I could be in this get-up because I'm trying to make this like my get-up now. Like, I'm going to start streaming and I'm going to be dressed like this all the time too. You're not going to be doing like an oversized sports jersey or anything? I could do that for like chill Sunday night streams or something. I mean, you don't have to.

I wasn't asking you to do it. I'm just, I'm asking if you were. I mean, honestly, like, you know, business casual is fine. It shows that you're serious. It shows, you know. But, like, if I were to just do the sports jersey, I think maybe I'd be a little more relatable sometimes. Maybe I could show up to, like, red carpet events.

We've been invited to one recently. Maybe I'll show up to that. No, you don't... In, like, a sports... We can... We could stick to the... Some slacks cut off at the knees. It's fine.

You don't... No, you do you. Let's go ahead and go ahead and get the show started. Okay. Just roll the intro, Luke, I guess. Let's talk, okay. We've been, okay, it's been a while since we've recorded one of these and we're a bit rusty, so, you know, we've got to get our juices flowing again.

We're out of sync. Oh, fuck, dude. We're really out of sync. You interrupted Zip Zapsop. I didn't know you're about to do Zip Zabs-O. I will say, like, over the years that we've known each other, I've never. witnessed an interruption of zip zab zop because of you started it while i was talking no i started it thinking there was a break in the conversation you didn't allow enough enough space for the yes

and zip see there you just did it you just did it zop you interrupted the zop with something else though so it doesn't count you lost up there you go you interrupted my zip in proveneers yep that's what we call ourselves the proveneers is that sounds like some like impractical joker's type show. We're the improvineers. With our special Wicked 2 sketch, you got to come see it live at the, where's that place near the Celebrity Center, Scientology Celebrity Center? Second City?

No. No. That's the... UCB? Yeah. You're not upright citizens brigade? That's right next to like the magazine newspaper thing. You're thinking, yeah.

I haven't been there in a while, so, you know, I'm a little fuzzy on the specific. It's the UCB Sunset Center. I forgot. It is across the street from the Scientology Celebrity Center, which you and I have been spending quite a bit of time there lately because they have been very kind to us, just kind of pampering us and getting us nice. Free improv shows. Yeah. And very, very nice, you know, gifts, fruit baskets. We each got an edible arrangement delivered to our doorstep recently. It was really nice of them. Wait, you got one, right? Yeah. I wasn't the only one to get an edible arrangement. That's just weird because I had a, they, because I woke up this morning, there was a, like, a red corvette with a giant bow in my driveway.

And I don't know if that's the same thing. Like, they were gifting stuff to people. You know what? I think that they got our intake forms mixed up. But I didn't get some flour. You said you got some, No, edible arrangements. It's fruit.

I'm pretty sure that they got them confused. I'm pretty sure the Corvette's supposed to be for me and the fruit's supposed to be for you because they know that you like fruit, food. I mean, the rims have my name engraved. Well, it says the McGee Mobile,

which I think is pretty cool. I didn't tell them the, okay. I might have, I might have, you know, at a little shindig, might have mentioned something, but surprised he actually, he listened. Miss Cabbage? listened. David?

He wants, he wants to, he wants to be they. Because he's, gotcha. Yeah, got you. Yeah,

I understand. Because there's, he, he exists on multiple planes. So there's technically multiple, they, mishavages. That's not what he told me.

And addressing one is kind of disrespectful because you're, you're, you're not paying, you're not paying respect to the others that are defending the dimensional planes beyond. All right. Well, when I talked to them,

um, they just told me that they wanted to go by the, them pronouns now. I didn't know that was the reason why. I thought that they were just maybe realizing that they were non-binary at their age. No, they're a being that exists through multiple planes. At least that's what he told me. That's what they told you.

Yeah, yeah. They took me aside. Well, no, he's not going by they, them pronouns. He's saying they as a multiple. But they're going by they, right? No, he's going by he. David Miscavage? That's really confusing.

Because he exists in this plane. But when you're addressing them respectfully, you address the others. You say they. He himself does not go by they, them pronouns. He's saying address the collective as they. Because again, like, you can't just, it's like just talking to Jesus in a prayer instead of God and the Holy. People forget about the Holy Spirit as well. You got to talk to him sometimes.

They always forget about the Holy Spirit. It's always dear God or dear Jesus. Exactly. Dear the Holy Spirit. Nope. No. So this is Scientology's version, I guess. All right. that makes a little more sense now it's it's um i tried to ask questions and he he shushed me and

shooed me along and said don't you don't you have somewhere to be i didn't um and then he just walked away hurriedly david miss cabbage is an interesting figure um he he pantsed me the other day when we were at the uh remember that one uh and then he ran away uh i didn't see him for the rest of the time we were there but i will say that the big blue building is my favorite one to go to the fake story haters really are to be grinding their teeth in the beginning of this start of this episode they didn't actually go to the Scientology

Celebrity Center Ryan didn't get a Corvette that set them a Geemobile and they don't know David Miss Cabbage and David Miss Cabbage does not think that there's multiple of himself it's like why not talk about their real life okay I have shingles

how about that is that is that more entertaining for you well they want to know more about your life and how so tell us about shingles as a first hand experience what's it feel like? So I didn't even fucking know what shingles was last week. That's crazy to me because for me I always think of it as like an old person's disease type thing. Well, okay.

I knew shingles. I knew it existed. All right. I just didn't know like what it was. To me it was like I thought like in my head scabies and shingles were kind of like, yeah, that's the same shit, whatever. It's not here. I'm going to do a little educational tidbit. Luke put some education, some music in.

It's time for Matt's biology, anatomy lesson. And Luke, you have to use Helvetica. Okay. Matt hates Helvetica. I fucking despise it. Just kidding. It's actually one of my favorite fonts. Helvetica new, Luke.

Helvetica, New? Actually, I like Helvetica New more than I like Helvetica. Did you know that? Havutica Black. That one's good, too. Is there Helvetica Black? No, there's Babes Black, though. Okay, Babis Black, because I don't like Babes.

what about babus new you like that one i like all of there's a time where i was obsessed with just any babus would do i haven't i don't we haven't when's the last time we used babes when's the last time we used babus matthew when's the last time you used babus i mean this this podcast truly you go from talking about scientology and fun little advent like Scientology Adventures, you know? To shingles. To shingles. To, uh, Babus and Babus New.

Exactly. Babus New is not bad. And all within the first 10 minutes of the podcast. Babus is not a bad font by any means. It's not. It's a great font actually. It's wonderful. It's a very well-designed, uh, beautiful fucking...

It's like perfect for a periodic table. Oh, absolutely. I would love to see Babus on a periodic table more. Especially for the title. Ooh. The periodic table of elements. Oh. Go ahead and put that up at the,

on the screen, so people know what that looks like in Babus. Does Luke have Babus? Well, he better download it. And Babus knew as well, so people could see the difference. Anyway, back to Matt's anatomical biology lesson. So, guys, have you ever had chicken pox? If you answered yes, then that means there's a... I've had chicken pox.

Okay, that means you are immune to my illness. Unlike Luke, who's sitting out there all scared like a little bitch that he's... Is he not immune? He's never had chicken pox. How do you not have chicken pox? Right? Because if you get chicken pox as an adult That can be real fucking bad

It's embarrassing It's very embarrassing It's like you've been hanging out with kids You look like You know like What is it called? Maggie's ferocious beast The one with the polka dots all over him

Yep Does it make you bald Because he's kind of bald I guess he has some spikes He might have bald Does he have fur Luke? Or is he like an elephant

I think he's just a beast Does he is it like he has like Leathery Like is he like a hippo or an elephant Or are we supposed to think that that's like light fur He's a beast of no nation He's just this unique creature That they created for the show

But What do you think his skin feels like And is there any sort of peach fuzziness to It's fur, it's got to be short fur Short fur, yeah I don't know Shit, maybe not man Maybe it's

Okay anyway guys If you've had chicken pox That virus It didn't actually go away When your chicken pox went away Instead it decided to hide itself deep inside your nerve clusters. And it's just chilling.

Right now, this very second, it's chilling inside you. And it's trying to replicate again, but your immune system's going, no, bad, stay down, bad. And for me, my immune system had a moment of weakness, probably brought on by pulling too many all-nighters lately because I have been pulling a lot of all-nighters, and sleep deprivation is something that can trigger this. And that virus finally got its chance after 20. 27 fucking years. Does not look like fur.

That's not fur at all. It's not fur. I was wrong. It looks like skin. That's a scary fucking creature. That is a ferocious looking beast. Yeah, so now Matt has scabies and he's trying to... No, no, no, no.

Skabies is gross. Those are mites in your skin. What if some of our wonderful audience has scabies? I mean, take a shower. That doesn't get rid of them, does it? I don't know. It gets rid of scabies. Why?

No reason. But basically, that virus, the chicken pox. virus decides to re-infect you 27 years later. But this time, it's not going through my bloodstream like it did the first time. This time, it's using my nerves as a little highway and it's traveling up my nerves going, hmm, let's fucking fuck some shit up. So it goes up. You're like a puppet for chicken pox. Exactly. That chicken pox virus decided to go up my neck into my face and go, this is a good spot to infect and started going down my my nerve branches and then at the end of my nerve branches going let's let's make some blisters guys let's have some fun and inflaming my nerves

and creating disgusting blisters on my face which I'm trying to kind of cover up with my hair it's a good thing you're doing that too because they sometimes you tell me like the pus leaks into your eye and it starts to burn and shit it's acidic it's highly corrosive um but And I will say Which Oh Oh God damn

It starts to like fizzle Through your clothes It goes through the floor I'm just talking Like when someone drops Like when a cigarette Like in the alien movie When it starts to go through

The shiphole What the hell? I will say Singles is Yeah Usually old people get it It's I wouldn't say it's Because they're so stressed I guess

Yeah Yeah I see So now, but if you get it, is it like chicken pox? Where now that you've had shingles, you can't get shingles again? No, I can get it again. It's because the virus and fun virus is inside of me. Yeah.

So it could just be waiting for the moment to strike. It is. It's literally always replicating. Your immune system is just punching it back down. So all it takes is one moment for your immune system just to kind of look the other way, get distracted. Boom, you got shingles. And most people get shingles around, like their torso usually, like this area. I was unlucky enough to get it around my eye

and it has been the most painful experience it is it burns itches it really fucking hurts though it's just like deep under my skin behind my eye today luckily my eyes not like swollen and red like it has been but it my whole face dude my scalp all the way down like to my jaw and my neck super fucking painful

just that's the sound of like the nerves firing off at random. If you were just like a simpleton back in the day before doctors you know before paved roads and wheels and all that nonsense right. Would you feel

like you had been cursed by like an evil shaman? Oh yeah. Yeah. Like think about headaches back in the day how people kind of had to process like what that was. This has been giving me a horrible headache. Ah! Someone's trying to read my mind!

I would think that God's punishing me for something that like I did like for masturbating. It's like I masturbated once and then I get a headache like two days later, just unrelated. I think that God is, he's hurting me. The sun has cast an evil, bewitching spell and curse onto you. I was thinking about that because I was laying awake in bed last night. Which is not, you know, you're supposed to be sleeping in bed from what I remember. Well, I wasn't able to because. The pain was just fucking, my nerves were just firing like it was no one's business.

Have you tried listening to some H.O. Johnson? Yeah, I haven't. And that's something that I should have considered, and I'm sorry for not. On House Johnson. Unhoused Johnson. On House Johnson. I have not. Luke, make sure you.

Here, do you want to ask that again with the correct verbiage? Yeah, yeah. All right, cut back in. I'm drinking a monster real quick Just a little sip Of mine as well Okay You know you could always listen to some

Unhoused John Fuck you could hear that I was about to say Just one more time Unhoused Johnson be like Now But that doesn't make sense to cut back into that He's probably had shingles Why is it called that dude

They give it some fucking weird medieval-ass sounding, like leprosy name. It sounds like your skin's like scaling off. Yeah, that's gross. Like it's scaling up and falling off. Which it's not. It's just developing hideous blisters that are swelling up and, uh, but yeah, because you've had chicken pox, you are immune to my, my curse, right? Luke, on the other hand, he's never had chicken pox. I could easily infect him with this, but he wouldn't get shingles.

He would get chicken pox. That's how it works. so but then he could get shingles afterwards yes because you can only get chicken pox it's the same virus but if you've never had it it infects for the first time it infects you through your bloodstream which gives you chicken pox but then after that it hides dormant in the nerve system yeah so uh make sure you get your shingles vaccines and it because you don't trust me you do not want shingles this shit is painful as hell you can go blind from it very easily. I'm very lucky I didn't. I started having some some some wonky vision stuff and I freaked

out and I'm on a heavy anti-viral right now. And you went to the fortune teller. I recommend it as well. So I don't, you know, I see how you were going to just kind of breeze by and not mention him at all. Well, he didn't actually mention anything about the shingles. I went specifically for that. I was nervous. and he instead brought up some terrible accident that was about to befall me. And now, but now you know. Specifically at Christmas time with my entire family. Not your entire family.

Well, my mom, my sister, and her fiancé. It's crazy how, like, even knew your, he got your fiancé's, my sister's fiance. Your sister's fiancé. Did you see Ryan Omwood? Do you think that was, do you? What happened? I almost let slip that Matt has a male fiancé.

This is like Smosh. When Smosh just came out in love. Start the C, right? Shane and Courtney? I was about to say Cindy. And then I was like, that's not her fucking name. No one's named Cindy anymore. So let's talk about that.

Why is no one named Cindy anymore as we puff on our big cigars? Dude. Oh, dude. Bill Maher put the beat down Put the ultimate mental smackdown On Patton Oswald recently Yeah he did Yeah oh you know who else did

Fucking Rob Schneider Yep Rob Schneider said Can you believe this fucking foge Why in the world Is Rob Schneider Fucking in the political sphere He's a moron

He's a moron He's like a moron coasting off of a more like he's heard it a thousand times before and i'm he knows himself coasting off of the coattails of his is one of his friends who still is you know thank god for adam because adam sandler is you know he's super loyal to his friends and he's and he's like let's all go on vacation and just make a shit ton of money come on you know i think you answered your own question i think it's that reason because rob schneider is all adam having a little friendship

ship breakup? No, but I think that Rob Schneider, because he's always been, hey, you're just the guy riding the coattails of Adam Sandler. How is he going to carve a path for himself and stay relevant now? Become an anti-woke, Stephen Crowder, Charlie Kirk. I got an awesome ad the other day for some liquor Rob Schneider's selling. Here's the ad. It's on screen. And it's for, it's woke Tears. You guys can get it. So the idea from Ben Shapiro. Yeah. Well, you guys can get this liquor. It's amazing. You can have the woke tears

liquor in your woke tiers coffee mug. That's right. Your daily wire Leftist Tears coffee mug. And you know what's awesome? I love the ads. Like, get it before it's canceled. It's like, I just don't think it's going to sell enough to it. And that's why it's going to not keep going. These people

created a whole fucking, like, the cancellation shit. That's not, that whole group is just like, like chilling in Austin, you know, nobody's canceling them. It's like, it's a fully self-created, like, it's a problem to,

it's just like something to, something to market on. That's all it is. It's working, it's great marketing, you know. Joe Rogan with his millions of dollars, you just got to be careful, you know, the left won't let you say anything.

By the way, he recently, I don't know if you saw, he changed his name for a sponsorship, because they're giving them, Rogain is, they're making them, not bald anymore. So it's Joe Rogan.

That'll be big. I might start watching them. Yeah, me too. But it's a long process. It's monoxidil. It takes a while for the hair to actually start growing. So we'll have to see how it works out. But I kind of want to go back to you were talking about people in the olden, olden days when they would get ill, like what you would think it is. I was thinking of myself when I was laying in bed how scared I would be if this was like the 1800s because you don't know what the hell this is. all of a sudden I'm getting these disgusting blisters all over my face and everything hurts and I'm feeling sick. You better pray that you don't come across or come across anyone who knows a town crier because, oh my God, dude.

Matt Watson, blisters on the face. And then everyone's going to freak out. They're going to think that I have some kind of brand new plague that needs to be did away with. Keep your distance! The plague is among us! And then someone goes, among us! And then everyone turns, and then it's a time traveler, making an off joke.

Right. And he quickly... He blew his cover right there. He couldn't help himself. Then he got shot by all the pilgrim-looking people. Yep. I'm assuming people still look kind of like pilgrims at this time in the 1800s, you know? Yeah, there were pilgrims.

Pilgrim-like. Pilgrimish. like, you know, big high socks, some fancy black... Not long pants. It's almost like they're winning caprice, right? Sure, sure. And then the striped puffy pants. And then the long, uh, the long socks, yeah.

The little shoes with the buckle. So what happened to the flare? I guess the British took the flay, you know, all the, like, cool little, yeah, why don't we have any fucking... What are those called the cuffs or the, the fluffy cuffs, flowery cuffs of a shirt and shit? I know what you're talking about, where it's like... like you know it's tight right here but then it goes why did that go away why did it just become a little rectangle you know usually if i'm wearing something like this like this coat right here

you see maybe a little bit of the the dress shirt poking through but but it used to be like coming out so fun maybe it was just uh it looked even up here yeah but maybe that was just impractical you're trying to eat your soup think about this you have your bowl of soup and you're you're going for a spoonful, that big floof is going to go dip right in the soup. And then what? It's white. It's all white. Yeah, it's going to be covered in red tomato soup.

That's going to be a pain in the ass to get out. Well, they're eating, like, bread and, they're just eating straight, like, grain and unseasoned meat at this point, you know, not a lot, not a lot of sauce going on. They had ketchup back then. When was ketchup invented? It was invented specifically to hide the taste of rotting meat. Really? Do you know that? No.

Yeah, it was created to cover the taste of meat that was going bad. When, so... I don't know when it was created, but it was a hot minute. And after these commercials, you guys are going to find out when ketchup was created. Oh! Holiday cheer. More like holiday sheer, panic. Right?

And now the story continues. And now your answers will be, um... Did you not read the script? I don't know. It's right here, man.

All will be revealed now. That's good enough. 1812. The first recipe of tomato-based ketchup was published in 1812 by Philadelphia scientists James Meese. However, the original ketchup was a savory sauce made from ingredients like fermented fish, mushrooms, or walnuts with the concept reaching Europe from Asia centuries earlier. The modern sweet and tangy version popularized by Heinz was developed in 1876. You're telling me that Chinese created ketchup? they get everything cool

gunpowder and ketchup and walls what do we what do we got coleslaw nuclear weaponry not real yeah we did hey we did create that we did but other people were very close as well it's like if we didn't like within like what the week or month someone else but but but all all the matters is who was first unfortunately I guess doesn't matter who

Thank God the Nazis didn't fucking get there first That would have been real bad We'll show the Japanese military Hey civilians guess what Yep What I mean It's very purposeful

Yeah And I've been telling everyone Yeah it was a military installment that we blew up With the big bomb My favorite thing is just the whole We've discussed this before Of how like dropping the bombs

And just time out Essentially No one can use these This stuff's scary, right? It's literally like they just called timeout. Like, okay, guys, all right, that's, let's just all, let's all take a step back. We need to have some sort of agreement, you know, that we all sign to make sure we don't do this to one another. Do we have any more?

Fuck. Yeah. Really, that was just because we saw other people had them. Yeah, dude. If no other country had developed or was developing the same thing, we would never be like, all right, guys. Like timeout. We'd be, if it was our little, like, if it was our KFC secret recipe, you know? Oh, yeah, we'd be like, yeah, you want to, you want to mess with us?

Guess what? You mess with the bull? We got nuclear. You get the, you get the massive explosion that makes everything radioactive. Not only do we have nuclear, but we have the Jewish space lasers. They have them on their side now. I just hate our politics of how that is a point in time. You know, it makes me miss the binders filled with women stuff.

Because at least that had context to some extent of what he was talking about. It makes me miss when, uh, when, you know, the extent of, of things was, was a jib-jab video of John Kerry and George Bush, singing This Land is My Land. Or, we didn't start the flame wars. And then you're going through history of the end of like the early 2000s. That was classic, dude. Such, so good, such good shit. We didn't start the flame wars.

Jib jab's still around, isn't it? Yeah, I think. I think stupid. videos is too stupid videos dot com was there was there a dot com jingle at the end did they say dot com i have a memory of that i do too is it but i don't know if there was like a switchup at some point or if it yeah is a mandela effect well you remember it and i remember it also speaking of mandela effect you want to hear something nuts sure and i ain't talking about these things right here why you scratching do you have shingles no

Are you sure? Yeah. But seriously, you don't know anyone who has, who, like, knows anything about scabies or anything? No, no one gets scabies in this day and age. Okay. But, uh, apparently, you know the whole fruit of the loom cornucopia debate? The Mandela effect thing? Yeah, where it's like, there's a, there was a cornucopia.

And then it's like, if you look at the logo, there's no cornucopia. Yeah, but there was a cornucopia at one point. No, there wasn't. But there was. No, there wasn't. Right? A little. with fruit in it or something?

The brown cornucopia. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone remembers that, but apparently that never existed. That's the whole Mandela effect. Guess what? It did exist, and they used the whole thing of it not existing as a marketing tactic. So they got rid of all their assets real quick and went,

who? Huh? It works. Look at us talking about it right now. So a company gaslit people just for fun? Why else? For marketing fun? Wouldn't anyone ever talk about fruit of the loom, you know?

I mean, they do make the best. best damn whitey tides in town they are great whitey tides you cannot like haines no fruit of the loom whitey tides is the way to go did they used to have did fruit of the loom used to have tv commercials with dudes dressed up as fruit and they talked to one another yeah it was when the whole like apple versus microsoft kind of schick was around yep okay that because i remembered that and i was like was that fruit of the loom or was that like juicy fruit that was it was it was like one fruit talking It's usually like a group of fruit It was like grown men that were like in the

In big like puffy Fruit costumes with like maybe a little Like they have the like onesie kind of thing Where under the suit where it's like the broccoli or whatever Would have green or the grapes would have purple Yeah I remember that such good shit Dude those commercials back then were great I haven't really

Commercials today I guess you know I'm not a kid so I'm not in wow of what's being sold to me I just get annoyed every time and ad comes up, I'm just like, you're taking time away from something that I actually want to be watching and you're showing me something that I'm not going to spend my fucking, my, like my money to go buy. But a lot of the time it is just kind of like brand recognition. We got to make sure the brand stays out there and this is like recognizable regardless. Because when people are out at the mall and they recognize our brand, cha-ching. I got an ad yesterday. I mean, we're just in a whole

new, a whole new era now. I got an ad that was, I believe, an AI generated song. It was an AI generated video of a man in the shower crying. And the song was about, did you know that what recognizing hypersexuality in men, uh, and how it's linked to, uh, dopamine and how lack of motivation is a dopamine issue. And if you feel shame and guilt after masturbation, and you masturbate specifically to cope with stress, this could be a sign of hypersexual. And I was like, what the fuck is this, dude? And it was like an AI cartoon guy crying in the shower.

And that was the fucking commercial. This is a good crying. It was AI guy crying sound. Exactly like that. You know, now I'm not convinced it was AI. Hearing you do that. It's popping up everywhere. I saw this video of a guy who's typically known for spotting AI

and just being able to warn, not warn people, would just be like, this is AI, this is AI, this is AI, this is not AI, you know, that, one of those types of guys. He's like the Paul Revere of AI. And he's really fucking good at it. He just apparently Google released this new, like, photo, like AI photo thing. Nano banana? Maybe, but he, probably, he was saying that now it's,

almost impossible for like the human eye to detect it you like you'd have to really know and be looking out for it but even scare yours that like AI detection software is running like a lower percentage of detecting the shit and eventually you know that's just going to go to like zero maybe zero well 0.01% whatever I had a lot of gas and I was kind of half burping through that explanation I apologize that AI overlords they're they're coming from the future going through time, sending some gas into your esophagus to say, stop talking about this. Okay.

Have you seen Red State? I don't know what that is. It's a Kevin Smith movie. He edited on set as he was filming it, too. I bet that was fun for the crew. Hold on! Just a quiet set. It keeps replaying moments.

moments to laugh at them. No, that's good. He has the headphones, I'll see. You can't even hear. It's just echo. I like it even more that it's playing out of like a shitty MacBook speaker. Still no one else can tell what he's watching, like what party's laughing at. He just keeps replaying it.

Oh, that's good. Let's take lunch. It's like after he's been there like for 30 minutes while everyone's just been standing around. And like, he's just extending their work with it by like. And no one's getting overtime for this. No, no. Because when you're, if I'm not mistaken, when you're on set, you know, there's like, there's a set amount of hours it's supposed to be, but it's never that. Set always, when you're on a shoot, and we've learned this many times.

Time goes quickly. When you're on set, time also never, never fits within what was planned. It always goes longer. You need more time. Time is even more scarce. Yeah. And I have never once in my life been on a set that has gone. to schedule and ended when wrapped when it was supposed to um are you for getting

team edge bouncy house obstacle course oh yeah when that did wrap that that wrapped right on right on the fucking dot and we got massages afterwards courtesy of matthias and j as in they were the ones they were doing like they walked on us and they had bars they could hold on to on the, like, ceiling of his garage. Courtesy of Matthias and Jay Edgar Hoover. Yeah. What were the other? Brian.

Brian. Dude, that intro was so dope. The team edge intro. Brian right here. Yeah, he was shrieking. And then there was Jay something, right? Like, J-Dog or something? Like his brother, right?

Yeah, I feel really bad. Jay-Soss? J-Soss. J-Dog. Jay Dog I feel bad for not remembering their names It's been a decade I doubt they remember

I don't think they remember No no we're like I'm gonna get a phone call from an unknown number It's like Matt Who's this? This is J-sauce I was watching your podcast as I do every week This is J-Saw

Sorry, it's J-Dog now It's J-Dog now yeah And I was just disheartened To hear on the latest episode of Super Mega Show which I keep up with. I'm even a, you know, if you check the names at the end, I'm in the names of podcast, executive podcast producers.

And I was just disheartening to hear you guys not remember my name. So I will be revoking my executive podcast producer tier monthly subscription. And blocking you on X.com, the everything app. And then you go, block this. But he can't see it because it's a phone call and he goes, block what? And then you have to explain to him. I just held up my middle thing. Can we get that at the time you real quick?

No, I mean, I already heard half of what you say. You were going to flick me off. I'm not going to, I'm not, I'm not accepting. Boom. What, hello? I'm just doing that. Oh, I see it. And when I hang up.

Take that J sauce. Dog. Jay Dog sauce. I, uh, I saw a Team Edge shirt a good will. What? Yeah. You didn't buy it? No, that's priceless.

When's the last time you saw a Team Edge shirt? They're rare. That's a good point. In fact, that's the only time I've seen a team ed shirt. Dude, I'm going to call, you know, as I said, we haven't talked since like those videos. We were never, none of us were ever on talking terms. It was just we showed up with Mark as like his sidekicks. Yeah, you and I were like Markiplier's sidekicks back in the day.

It was like he would, he'd show up to a shoot and like the little minions and his crew. Everyone would be like, hey, Mark. Who are these guys he brought? they laugh at all my jokes and that's an all they're good for but I'm gonna have to put everyone

here on a strict NDA if I'm gonna tell you what I put these boys up to Good one Mark No seriously Well we laugh at all his jokes We do We do

Still do The team edge days man When life was just Doing fucking bouncy house obstacle courses and then rubber bands around watermelons around watermelons until they explode or uh nerf battles or flying high in my superman socks that's not a team edge that's not a team that do not attribute that to team edge team edge is fantastic ryan but it's not a peter that that's epic peter nick peter nick peter i always i always yeah sorry the e's silent

We are out of fucking sink. Zip. Zap. At least we still got that. Okay. We're getting back on track. Getting back on track. I think, Matt, I think we're going to need to buy an emergency goofy afro wig.

The curly afro, you know what I mean? Do you think that's going to help get the improv, the everything back on track? And believe me, next episode, if we start with it in the cold open, it'll set the mood for the rest of the podcast. Yeah, it would. I guess we should order those now, right, just to prepare. Should we both have one or should compare and contrast, you know? No, I'm thinking maybe you should. I mean, you don't want me to put on a wig with my shingles, right?

Because I could help cover it up maybe. Well, that's true. Man, you know, I haven't watched those super mega guys in a couple years. I'll give him another shot. It opens it up and it's just us both wearing just. Oh, yeah, I was hoping that they had, you know, aged with me. But, uh, wow. Episode 206. As always, we're starting with the foam sword fight.

It's like Icarly, man. They were successful for a reason. We're Icarly for that generation that Icarly stopped airing for. Were Icarly for cis white men? Pound it for that, yeah. Someone described you and I as Dan and Phil for straight white men. I mean, yeah. You know, stray white men need their outlets. They need their Dan and Phil as well.

But we do have a considerable amount of our audience who also happens to be, believe it or not, infants because there's so many parents who apparently watch Super Meggo with their significant other or their baby, their child. Whenever I see being like, I have a kid and I, not like they watch it together, just like they have. have it on in the room while the kid's there. And I'm just kind of like, interesting. You know, they haven't done enough studies yet, but, but I'm sure that there's, there's something scientific there where the things that we're saying are permeating inside that child's brain, even though the kid might not understand the English yet, you know, or the AI dubbing translation.

Do you guys know you can do that on YouTube? You can just go and switch the language to like Tagalog or Chinese or something. and it like matches our voices and does like it matches the tones and the everything and it makes it makes us speak another language it's pretty crazy it's like i it's like i do enjoy like accessibility features like that yeah like you can you i i view it as an accessibility feature you know oh yeah no when it comes to like ai stuff i'm fine with stuff like that that's you know like it's weird. There was this this this is just an interesting thing

I saw on TikTok. It was this person who was playing a game that uses generative AI, arc raiders or whatever. It uses generative AI for voice. So like they paid some voice actors or whatever and they did the work. There's been contention about

that. But regardless, this is in the game and this person uses it so that people don't know that he's black because he gets a lot of like racist shit thrown at him during a game during like a public

game or something and he's like I don't know like being able to like change my voice to to like a female's voice or just as someone else's voice kind of helps because it cuts down on like just people throwing out racial slurs at me and stuff while I'm playing online

and I could like that I'm like that's a that's a that's a positive you know if you take out the like racist fucking harassment and it's one part positive one part very sad yeah that like anyone has to but i guess it's just an interesting kind of use use that like i does it doesn't pop into my brain you know for example like i i don't i don't have to think about that because the worst you know uh someone's calling me it it doesn't hit hard you know right like if what are they calling me like a like a i mean they'll say like the f slur or something but yet

again you know it's you and i used to that it doesn't it doesn't hit because i'm not a part of the community where that's been used egregiously to mean and other yeah yeah it's just an interesting use that like i i hadn't thought of but so like the generative AI for voice filters There's, I don't know, we're just in this, because, you know, there's the camps of, like, no AI. Then there's the camps of a little AI or with a little caution, and then there's the camp of, like, all a, AI or nothing. You know, it's, there's a lot of, there's a lot of, like, marketing from the different camps. There's different camps. Like, I saw one guy on Twitter posted, like, a, like an animation and was, like, it was an AI animation.

He's like, he's an AI animation. I guess. And he's like, this is the hardest animation I've ever worked on. And people were like, shut up, dude. It's just all AI. Yeah. And he's talking about like how hard it was for him to make this AI. Sounds like the Coca-Cola commercial guy. You don't know how many prompts I had the type to get it to work. It's, uh, there's definitely a lot of AI camps. For me, it's like at this current point in time, the way I see it is like, uh, AI is like, uh, AI is like, AI is like, everywhere and whether you realize it or not it's like a everything at this point is using it and has been using it google now whenever you like face app you can turn off

i don't i know you can turn off google jimani uh for gmail at least i don't know about like searching it's really enough for searching it's really annoying for search so like you're using a dude google a i gets so much fucking wrong when i type oh it's horrific when i I type a question because I type like I'll be playing a lot of I use it a lot for video games like when I'm trying to figure something out or find a mission and like I'll look something up and it'll tell me what to do and I've said we've talked about this before but for example I'll use the game and I'll say that it's the second one like let's ghost of Yote too or whatever but it will pile in information from the first ghost of Yote within the information it's just giving you wrong information it doesn't know how to differentiate it's just like I miss the days are like you type up up a question you'll go to like a lot of the times like honestly Reddit will be like a good place to go if like people are asking a question that's why like if I'm looking up a question nowadays usually I'll look it up and then put Reddit at the end yeah and then I'll see the different Reddit threads or people are asking their opinions because if I type like something about

RuneScape into Google like a question it first thing it does is it shows me its AI summary with with its answer and half the time it's wrong And I'm like, okay, dude, the worst thing is I have done this multiple times where I look at the AI summary and I'm like, oh, okay, I guess that's, you know, the answer. And I waste so much time like in the game trying to figure out. For me, not even video games. It's mainly like Photoshop. Yeah, I've been learning Affinity and I'm like confused by something. So I look it up on Google.

It tells me like what to do. And I go back to Affinity and I'm like, I spend like 20 minutes like. being like, what the f? Why is this not? And then I look it up and I'm like, oh, okay, Google just lie to me. It was just wrong. That's, it's actually very simple. So it's very, it's a, it's a really frustrating feature for them to roll out with how incorrect it is. I feel like that's really dangerous too. Well, it's it's just providing misinformation. Yeah. Just like by accident. Like it's missing, it's misinformation being created out of thin air. And I feel like it is irresponsible to roll out a product on something as big as Google.com, something that everybody uses.

And not only that, making it on by default and making it the first thing you see when you search something. It's not like this is a little tiny side thing. It's when you search something, it comes up before all the search results. So what's the benefit of its AI overview? I guess just to like for laziness if people just want to get the quick kind of fix, but it's still getting it wrong like like because when I type in something to Google I'm searching for specifically usually yeah like a Reddit thread where people are talking and giving their opinions where if I'm confused about something or trying to get help from some for something or I'm trying to find an image of something

particular like even if it's like let's say monkey photos you type in pictures of monkeys but now we've talked about this again before but it's still equally frustrating you type in anything even just monkey and you'll find you won't have to scroll far where all of a sudden it's just a bunch of AI bullshit and it sucks. It because it includes there's like one website called like crayon or some shit that it always throws in the search results that are always AI and I'm always scared of whenever I'm designing assets for super mega stuff I'm always scared of accidentally using an AI photo without even realizing it. Well because think about like AI creating like these photos like think about how long it took to kind of create this archive of user user created art and content that the internet's been known and beloved for when in these like creative community. and now it's just now basically think of the ratio was that 100% of user created content essentially or it was like some engineer figuring out

some way to code something to make something you know there was always some interesting aspect to it and now the floodgates are open and all of so many of these the ratio now is just and because it's AI because it doesn't have to take any time at all to actually produce this art

it's just going to start where I feel like most of what AI is going to be pulling from is just more AI It's just infinitely creating Like you see all these memes Usually it would take someone with Photoshop skills time To like pump that out and then it would be shared Now someone can just go

Donald Trump Poop on Washington protesters You know some shit like that Which was a real video shared by the president Donald J.D. Vance as SpongeBob You know it's the most brain dead shit And it just, it's, it's there. But now it's a part of that overall kind of,

it's a part of the history of the internet. Well, it's scary. What also is like freaky is like, because AI pulls from other stuff, as more stuff becomes AI, it pulls from AI more and more, especially like stuff like Google's summary. Like, at what point is it just pulling from other AI

that's already incorrect and creating more incorrect information that then AI is pulling from where it's just like all it's just going to be just a disgusting mess of and like AI can't really differentiate like it can't not yet at least yeah it can't tell what's an actual good source you know like it doesn't do any like it could just be taking all of this stuff

from like an opinion piece or a lot of people were talking about this one thing at one point in life because it got popular And thus, it just pulls a bunch of knowledge from those threads. And it's not like a professional or people who are giving any kind of like knowledgeable advice or information. It's just generalized conversation that that's then being collected and manipulated into actual information. But it's just lies. Like presenting it like professionally. Yeah.

Like curated information. Users online say. Or it's like when it's like one Reddit thread from like some. some shitty fucking subreddit. And earlier you said like, why does Google even do the summary? I think it's just because like every tech company now is in a huge race to be like the, the, to have the best AI. So like, you know, Open AI has chat GPT that everyone goes to to search for things.

So Google's like, okay, well, we need to compete with Open AI. So we're going to make it super, like their shit. But ours is free and super accessible whenever you just use Google. But it sucks. So it's just like this rat race with all these tech companies that are just growing bigger and making more money and stealing more of your data and selling it and feeding it into AI. And I'm very scared for the future with our data and artificial intelligence and the kinds of things that the two of those, together can create. Because at the top of it, they already don't have,

there's no decent, good intentions for anything. It's just like it's all like selfishly funded. No, no, none of this stuff is... It's funded through selfishness. Yeah, and none of this stuff has ever made with the intention of like advancing humanity or technologically advancing society. Oh, this could be good for like, uh, healthcare, you know.

It's for money. It's always for money. It's always like, you can create, uh, you know, Will Smith eating spaghetti, you know, the classic AI video. It's like used for goofy stuff. And you start to, you start to see more of its application or people talking about its application used to more so like replace people's jobs. Like artists or people who crunch numbers and shit like that, which I guess, you know,

computer programs and you can even go back to, there's the argument, right, that people go, this is just a tale as old as time when it comes to technology, you know, when the calculator was invented yeah i mean i mean that's that things replace other things as time goes on but i think that but a calculator is useful calculator is very useful uh i feel like the scary part of a i for me is when it comes to um how it can be used by people with like bad intent to deceive or to you know because they already have

so many data points on like every single person about you know what you like what you don't like etc so they pay attention to on your phone screen so they can advertise to you but then taking that data and giving it to AI creating a more comprehensive profile on you and then AI targeting you in a way that like you've never been targeted online before

in terms of like it's like it's so facie it's it's more than just subliminal advertising well it's subliminal advertising taken to like the nth degree yeah it's like it's like the Cambridge Analytica stuff from uh years past but like cranked up to 11 and it's it's freaky and I think yeah I know some people are get you know they're like oh there you're going to talk about AI again I think these conversations that you and I have right now it is but I think that these conversations will be interesting to listen back to in a couple years. I just... A couple decades even.

I don't like the thought of being like... I don't know, before when you were tricks by something on the internet, like a good Photoshop, it was almost like, oh, damn, some talent... That person was good with, like, the tool... They're not just creative. They're talented at using, like, a photo editing software. Yeah, it's like, oh, they got me. but now it's just like fuck like I it feels bad yeah it feels gross it feels malicious yeah

yeah just it's it's it's the only purpose I can see it for is to deceive like why are you trying to create fake instances it feels like the difference between getting tricked by a street magician and being like oh and then getting tricked by a snake a smacker yeah like a scammer on the street who actually scams you out of something then it's like uh Oh, that feels bad. And I think what really scares me is the way that, like, AI could be, and is currently being used by governments. Like, governments utilizing AI for their own agendas is very scary, especially when it has

to do with things like ICE. Well, especially when our government's stupid, like, especially when we know that the people running our country, and this is not just, like, a new thing. Time and time again, throughout, before I was born, our country has always been run by a bunch of selfish assholes like for the most like for the most part the selfish assholes win and every now and then there's a little win to distract people from going yay but really like the win that the the the smaller people have that aren't like a part of the fun club it's it's it's what is it's uh I wouldn't even say yeah one step forward two steps

back is typically I would say because prices go up but then prices come down they don't go down to like what they used to be or like to make, they just go down to another thing where technically now prices are just raised still. It's like, down. It's the whole like, I think we all took like a small little short class maybe in like math or something in high school, maybe in college where it was like talking about how like with statistics

and how marketing can reinterpret statistics to kind of just paint whatever they want. Yeah, yeah. When I took an AP stat and we did a whole like four week thing on that where it was all about how statistics is used by advertising and marketing firms to give, to take a set of data that is, you know, one way, like, there's only one way that this data actually is, but interpreting that data and twisting it in a way to look a different way to give the example that you want to give. I'd said that horribly, but you know what I mean.

99% of all doctors, you know, that type. A great example is made with 100% real beef. People go, wow, it's 100% real beef. It could actually be only 20% but the beef in it is beef. Right. The beef is 100%. Yeah, the beef we're using is 100% beef. They didn't say 100% made with real beef.

They said made with 100% real beef. So that's an example of, you know, you could skew things with words and take statistics and goof them. Just the idea of AI kind of like, think of like a whole marketing team that's just a computer that's like, yep, we set it to tell, you know, create TikToks of people doing, you know, whatever every day. And we're going to actually, based on the, the viewer that's watching the TikTok, we're going to change the TikTok to be a little bit different for this person's interests or this person, whatever gets them engaged. In their social circles, it'll reflect their social circles a lot more, you know. Yeah. Freaky, dee shit.

I don't like it. I don't like it either. It scares me. I miss the days when, and maybe, when technology was just, when new technology was fun, Google Earth, Google in general. You know, like, stuff was just like, oh, my God, and you weren't worried about too much. I guess you can always go into about environments and servers in general, because just to keep websites running, even like, Netflix, think about the street, like, the amount of energy Netflix uses, because they're streaming like 4K footage to how many fucking households around the world.

I guess that that was always a discussion, but even, it's a lot more prominent now. The energy usage? Uh-huh. Well, what really, what frustrates me is, is yes, the energy usage is abundant, but like, it frustrates me that the conversation doesn't tend to get shifted back more on, like, a deeper problem which is big company which is like yes but also like if we used more like green energy you know it wouldn't be as much of a problem but because we rely so heavily on oil and fossil fuels it is a problem so it's like frustrating that uh it's just frustrating that we still use so much

fucking oil for everything. But that's my woke libtard opinion. And, well, the good thing about oil, I will say, is that it does produce a lot of money. That's why a lot of our benefactor, a lot of the people that give us money are oil tycoons.

You can see them. We have them listed off the side of the screen. Everyone with an emoji is a certified oil tycoon and all the other ones are their employees and their underlings. Well, Not so underlings, they're like co-managers, you know, they're like, they're a co-managers assistant type of role.

They work for the higher up, the oil executives. And they're desperately trying to claw their way to a higher position. They step on the feet of all of the other ones around them, trying to get to the top. Only a few of them will make it up to be executives. But those executives, you know, if you want to join them, you can go to patreon.com, You can get your name in every brand new episode. Are you okay? Are you going to throw up?

Don't throw up, please. I'm good. But, yeah, you can get a bunch of exclusive free content, stickers in the mail each month. Extra podcast. Yeah, and an extra chunk of this episode of the podcast and every single other episode too. And Uncle Sleepover, which we need to do.

We need to recall more Uncle Sleepover, absolutely. Do you need some tums? It sounds like there's a demon inside you that's maybe some more monster. will help? Probably. That'll probably help. Wait, is our lunch dinner here? Linner.

Let's eat Liner. No, that sounds like I'm talking about my snake. Let's eat Leonard. No, don't even joke about that. Like from the Big Bang Theory. Not my snake? But he's named after Leonard from the Big Bang Theory. Eight minutes away. Very exciting stuff, man.

I'm going to go shit and eat some chicken. At the same time, you're going to take it in the bathroom? all right i don't want to i won't judge it would it would create more time in the work day to get work done so i wouldn't i would just i would just yeah i would just fuse my bathroom break with my you know bathroom break usually takes let's say five minutes and then eating break 30 minutes condense it i'm probably spending you know maybe 15 to 20 minutes instead of 30 that's actually a genius idea um so in eight minutes you can start your bathroom break and your lunch slash dinner break And for those who are not Patreon subscribers,

let's get them maybe, you know, teed up for wanting to subscribe. What are we going to talk about on this week's Super Mega Junior? Make it something juicy, so they're going to want to subscribe and go see you. Okay, okay. We're going to be talking about the burnt, we're going to be talking about Mr. Peanut and how he's taken over the streaming space. What? And we're going to show a picture of a penis.

Okay, guys, you look really cool. That looks dope. All right. Bye, guys. I'm going to be able to be.
