I'm on the edge of glory and I'm held up by the truth. I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge. I truthfully hate that song. Is that Lady Gaga? Katy Perry? Wait, edge of glory? That kind of sounds like a Lady Gaga. Let me, let me. Edge of glory. You'll edge me until there's some glory? Okay. Dude, I like that. We gotta start doing that more. We gotta start whipping out the Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Okay. Can I be honest dude, I like that. We gotta start doing that more. We gotta start whipping out the- Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga, okay. Of your glory.

Can I be honest, dude? I've never been a big Gaga head. I just, nothing, I think Lady Gaga's style is cool and stuff. I just, the music has never captivated me. It's never like, the melodies. I've just never really vibed with them, dude. They give me anxiety for some reason. I can't even explain it.

Ooh, da, rum, ma, ma. Don't like it. can't even explain it. Don't like it. Don't like it. Coming from the guy who, what is it? You like Justin Bieber's Yummy, or what was it called? Yeah, it's a great song. Yeah. Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy. It's a great, fantastic song. As like a, kind of like a more of a gauge of what Matt likes

versus what he doesn't like he doesn't like Lady Gaga do you like Lady Gaga I like some of her songs they're fun I mean I'm not like obsessed with I mean I'm not really obsessed with like any musician really besides me I do of course not even sure you can call yourself a musician. Maybe a SoundCloud rapper. Maybe a musically artist or something. What were you saying before that? I was saying that you probably couldn't even call yourself a musical artist.

I think that the chorus of Poker Face is pretty good actually. Pretty good. Yeah, whenever I hear that specific chorus though, I always think to myself, you know, Ed Sheeran could do it better. Oh, 100%. Well, when I hear most music, I think Ed Sheeran could do it better. I listen to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, any B's really, like Beyoncé, any artist that starts the letter B that I've heard of, the Buzz B's. The Buzz Boys.

The Buzz Boys. The B-Balls. And the the the Beach Say's, the Beyoncé. Yeah, you know that's what I'm sure. Beach Boys and Beyoncé mixed. I like the emphasis you put on Beach Boys. You said the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys. It's actually. they're the boys from the beach, dude

Oh, I saw a video on I was on reddit on r slash cringe guys get ready for this story and you saw yourself We're gonna have to have a talk No, I saw it Beach Boys concert at the inauguration or something a long time a couple years back and it was the Beach Boys and Mark McGrath and they were doing a A beautiful performance of a song where the voices were like auto-tuned to Uh, like a corny degree and pre-recorded and it's it's insane dude. Where's the cringe come from? Uh how bad it is. Oh, it's the cringe come from? How bad it is.

The cringe comes from just the performance. That's on McGrath I'm sure, not the Beach Boys. No actually I think McGrath might have been the only one that wasn't pre-recorded. It looked like he actually was singing his part and I love McGrath. No, no, no, the Beach Boys wouldn't do that dude. I don't know.

I think you're just looking into things too much. I think sometimes you get on the internet and you go down these rabbit holes and you get filled with like confirmation bias the Beach Boys would never pre-record their tracks and then lip-sync to them there was a point when you couldn't lip-sync like it wasn't a thing yet you know like the technology was not there like artists they had to play they had to play play alive a lot of artists are open now I was like, hey, you know, I'm sick sometimes so if I'm not gonna cancel a whole show Unless you want me to do it What's really normal at most artists do is they sing over the back track? Yeah, so it's like they're not lip-syncing But they're singing over the track. So it's like both of them

Just to kind of carry the in case they forget their lyrics. You can just go You can mumble through maybe some of them. Oh, I've told that I've forgotten my own lyrics before on stage and just kind of mumbled through just It's hard it's a lot of work. It's almost like you know it's almost like a Improvisational you know beat in your song where go, oh shit, he's doing something different here. He's just feeling himself. Which you should stop doing at your live shows. They like it when I feel myself.

I know, but I mean, it's more so. Or most of them do. A few bad apples spoil the punch in this case. I know, they went on Reddit and they were typing all sorts about it. They said they're in front row, they could smell it, and all this stuff, and it's like, okay, well. I mean, luckily it didn't reach as anywhere

astronomical levels as our former boss, Brent's silly penis thread. No, absolutely, and I will, I have owned up to it. That show specifically, I had in shower leading up the two days before that. It's busy on tour. When you're on tour, it's non-stop, dude. It is carrying boxes, packing, setting up, closing shows down, and getting on the road. It has a

really good quote right there about showbiz. The tour life. Yeah, the tour life. Matt on the tour life. Do you miss it? Featured in Newsweek. You miss it? Tour life? Yeah. There's a part of it that's nice and there's some comradery. I think at the end of the day, I love being anchored down to one spot for the two-part. It is a fun experience, but long-leg tours are just, there was, I feel like the last tour we did was pretty long.

The last one we did was, Where there was like two different tours almost. Last one we did was Texas, which was the shortest. Which, I'm talking about the one where we all, okay, not the last one we did was Texas, which was the shortest. Southeast. I'm talking about the one where we all, okay, not the last one then. I'm talking about the one where we went to Canada. Okay, so we did the Northwest, which was pretty long,

but then we did the Northeast, and almost, we took a little break, and then we did the Southeast. To our little locations back home. We went to Charleston, Columbia. I threw up, like projectile vomited the day of the Charleston show, because I was so nervous. It was awesome.

Yeah, I ate up, I hadn't eaten anything, I was nervous, I ate a banana, and then just went in the bathroom and just, poof! I think that's the only time I can remember throwing up from anxiety. I don't know why, just not fun. But touring is... The way you explained it, it sounded fun, but I'm glad you specified.

The tone, I know I could see how you could... I thought you were smiling when you were vomiting. But touring is stressful. It gives me a lot of anxiety. I don't know, I just get a lot of stage fright. Even though, when you see me and Ryan on stage, you're like, those guys are naturals. Like, they were born to do this. You would never guess that we're nervous. But I don't know about you, but I get pretty anxious

before performing in front of an audience. No? No. Well, I do. Okay. Do you wanna talk about it or something? Yeah. Okay, what makes you anxious about performing? Your voice. What if I mess up? Uh... Okay. Do you want to talk about it or something? Yeah.

I think it's normal. What makes you anxious about performing? Your voice? What if I mess up? That would be one that I'd think about. Like your voicemail is cracking and messing. God damn. Yeah.

I don't know. It's just I like being hunkered down like you said. I like being in one place and being away. I guess weirdly what stresses me out is knowing that I have to do these shows, like it's like oh we have to do Seattle and then Vancouver and then X, Y, and Z and knowing that like I cannot go lay in my bed or I cannot go like really relax until these things

are done and they're days away and I have to get through them so it's just, I don't know, it almost feels like I'm trapped. See my weird way. My show anxiety doesn't feel more't know, it almost feels like I'm trapped. Can I show you where? See, my weird anxiety doesn't feel more so like, it's not like from the trapped nature. It's more from like, it's more directly just from I'm about to be in front of a lot of people. It's just like eyes, like the whole public,

like back when you first got into like public speaking, you had to read one of your first like paragraphs or essays out to the class, that type of vibe. And I, it's, the one thing I will say, to read one of your first paragraphs or essays out to the class, that type of vibe. The one thing I will say, and I think I can speak for the both of us because we've talked about it before, but where it really comes into play is you get out there, get through the first five minutes or that first round of applause. I heard a thump.

Yeah, there was a thump. Are we still haunted? I think we might be. We got an exorcist specifically, and I swear to God, because you said that you knew this guy and that he was good. He's good, he's really good. You swore by him and everything.

And he exercised the place, I'm telling you. That thump was probably something else. Something probably fell out there. You wouldn't go cheap on an exorcist. I wouldn't go cheap, no, I would not go cheap on an exorcist. But I was saying, you get into the first round, then all of a sudden, that anxiety turns more

into adrenaline, you're more energized and you're having more fun. And then of course, there are spots where the anxiety comes back, you're like, oh no, that joke didn't land. That's what it is, that's what my anxiety is the most about. My anxiety the most is about not being funny or like floundering where it's like we're riffing

and it's just really not like. It's just the vibes are off. The vibe, exactly. It's like the vibes are off and the whole room, the whole audience can feel it. Because I've seen that happen before when I've been in the audience. It's awkward.

My biggest fear comes from that, like creating that situation. Saying something, not a lot of people laugh. I would say the lucky part about YouTubers or anyone who has developed a fan base though is that suddenly now people, you know, people are here to watch you. That's their reason.

Their reason is to watch. So I feel like if we're mainlining, from our perspective, I think that means we have to try our damnedest to get them to laugh or to really make sure they're having a good time. Whereas then from the audience perspective, I could honestly seeing it be the other side of the coin

of like they don't have to do much to really make me enjoy this show. Yeah. And that also can lead to like very uncreative YouTuber live shows where it's just kind of like a bad stand-up. Like if you put that in front of just a regular crowd of people that aren't YouTube fans, they'd be like, what the hell is this?

Which, I mean, granted, we had a few unfortunates that were at bars, because we were, I remember specifically Charleston. We like performed like. It was at the music farm, which is like a pretty casual venue. Yep, and there were people there just to be there. Yeah, so for the most part, it was Super Mega fans. Yes.

Because it was sold out and it was pretty packed, but you could still come in. Like go to the bar or something. Yeah come in like you like go to the bar Yeah, I think you could go to the bar and you know an older couple did And they I started with family guy like dubstep Mix or something. I think I think it was Gangnam's oh no wait Gangnam Style was the Christmas show. This was uh, it was family guy. Yeah, we came out to that And I'm sure they were just very confused.

They left. Lucky there's a family guy. Those shows were fun. Obviously if we did live shows now, I would wanna do more scripted. Made a lot differently. Well, the progression of our live shows did kind of, they were veering more towards that.

The first few live shows we did were very much like, we're gonna get drunk and just talk yeah it was well they were super mega cast lives right essentially or we they were never super mega live but it was essentially like just us kind of just shooting the shit on stage and we did like a drunk drawing segment Ross drinking a entire bottle of wine smoking a whole blunt, getting very belligerent on stage. Oh my god, he was intoxicated. Feeling us up and down, left and right.

And usually I don't complain, but there were no thank yous or yes pleases or yes thank yous in there. Exactly, and it embarrassed me because he got me hard in front of the whole audience. Yeah. I didn't want them to see that. And the shape of your pecker is

Comical exactly. So I said dude we agreed on this. It's it's it's like a cartoon mushroom in a Bugs Bunny You know animation exactly and then the whole audience saw that luckily was only like 150 people but yeah, you know The audience at these shows you're right. It's like, we're lucky because these are not random people for the most part. We were just doing stand up. That are judging. You know, yeah, if you're doing stand up, that's nerve wracking because none of these people

know who you are and you have to make them laugh. Which, the vibe of the audience really decides everything. Because sometimes an audience can just not be feeling it. Like, and everyone else picks up on it from each other and you know and maybe I think we also look too much into it sometimes where we feel like an like because there are like there are audiences who are way more energetic than others oh my god yeah part of that you also have to think maybe have to do with like the venue there's a lot of ideas I understand people not like going to a YouTuber show

and going like, ending up just being like, okay, no more of those. Like I get it, but it is more of like a nice communal thing where I look at it with our shows, if we were to do any more in the future where it's like people with the same sense of humor can come, especially if we wanna do more pre-recorded, pre-scripted stuff.

It's more like putting on a show instead of, where like, our last tour very much had those scripted parts, but there were segments where we, that was a left, it was just left up to the air a lot of the time. Which is fine, and I love the improv, and I think we should keep improv in our shows to an extent. Yeah.

But I do like there being a framework. Me too. And I think a structure. And that really helps me feel more comfortable when I go out there. Because I know if this isn't working, we're moving on to this a little more quickly. The first shows we did, like the first tour, it really was so,

there was no framework. There was framework. It was just super loose. So I think that's where a lot of my anxiety came from with those shows was like, okay, we're gonna go up there and talk, what if we're not funny? And then we have to fill an hour riffing with each other and what if the vibes are off?

And we're just riffing and just trying to, essentially it's not even, we're trying to be funny now. My worry, one of my worries was like, what if then we're just kind of stuck, forced to be unfunny for a crowd that doesn't like it for an hour because they paid for an hour of a show. And then the vibes, it's spiral. And I don't think, like I don't remember

having any particularly bad shows. There's ones that were definitely not as good as other ones because of vibes, but I don't think any of them were necessarily bad like I don't remember ever walking up stage yeah there was never like being like that was a bad show there's just like the the place where it was like a dining room that the vibes just weren't for it we talked about it I feel like in the super mega show oh yeah yeah yeah there's that one and then there's the venue,

which I think they still had good energy, but you could tell there was this feeling of, I think it was, was it in, not tennis, where did we? Nashville, when everyone was standing? Yes, Nashville, Tennessee. I was about to say, is it Tennessee? Then yes. Was Tennessee also the place where it's like,

you can have an open, not carry, but like an open container in your car? Where was it? I thought we went somewhere where they, I think it is gonna see you can have a alcohol in your car What's the law it's weird it's the only state like that driver can't of course be drinking it But like open containers are allowed open alcohol in your car, which is passengers can be drinking. Yes. I don't know Maybe that's wrong. maybe we're wrong. It wouldn't be the first time. Well just go, guys, if you live in Tennessee, try it.

Just, you know. Crack a beer and... Send us what happens. Cheers a cop. Yeah, but I do miss doing live shows. It's really fun. The anxiety is there for me, like the hour before you go on stage.

That's when it's tough, and then like you said, after the first five minutes, the adrenaline kind adrenaline kind of like when you get out there if the crowd is really good and energetic it like eases your worries and you're like okay it's a good crowd but if they're all ugly holy shit. I'm kidding ads! Transapp presents a couple trying to beat the winter blues. We could try hot yoga. Too sweaty. We could go skating.

Maybe some of you were ugly on the inside. Definitely. Oh, I've yeah Ryan We've seen it some of them are but you're all beautiful in your own way like you for your eyebrows And you know, you know, I'm talking about you and you Your nose piercing your brand new nose piercing. It looks really good the one that's like a bowl. Mm-hmm looks fantastic. So good job But Fuck was I gonna say? Oh if you would in the future if I go back to doing show tunes and taking it on the road which I have no plans to at the moment but who knows I would love for you to travel with me and be my opening acts and do some

ventriloquism or something or some magic tricks you know open for me do magic or whatever you want you just open for my shows. Can I have chess competitions with the audience? Sure. Where an audience I get to play someone for money? It's a four-hour chess game just sitting there in silence. So put in the contract like I can like if they don't have the money to compensate me it comes from the tour Yeah, and they get thrown out of the venue. It's a thousand dollar prize each each game Yeah, you have to put up a thousand dollars. Maybe it's speed chest so I can get a few more games in in the beginning

Okay One I was like four thousand I saw some of my merch some of my chess sets Ryan geese chess set sets Absolutely, they have a nice, like velvety, kind of like cut cloth on the underside of the pieces. So you can slide them. Mm-hmm. You know, I was saying though. Carved wood, by the way.

The ventriloquism you've been doing is good, so maybe a little better than the chest, but it's your, like if you come on tour with me, you can obviously do whatever you want. The, I mean, the old saying goes, I mean, I think I'm gonna stick with it, there's no money in ventriloquism, but there's a fortune to be made in chess.

Yeah, I think you say that. And that was by Thomas Jefferson. I see that quote written by like a quill and feather, like there's no money to be made in ventriloquism. But there is money to be made in chess. Thomas Jefferson, 1883. The man who enslaved his own children. Yeah, shout out Tommy. That's crazy.

Good old Tommy. Tommy, I said 1883. He was definitely not alive in 1883. He was like 17. Yeah, 17. Okay, seven. Yeah, okay seven, dude I was thinking about this because I recently have been watching this YouTube channel fuck I forgot the name but basically he just does videos on medieval stuff Like I was gonna guess the channel guess the child ones not hot ones. Okay old ones

It's about a medieval stuff and is it actually called little ones. No, okay, so you just lied But it's a good idea right fibbed. It is a good idea But you fibbed and I bared false witness and I apologize and you didn't say that you were fibbing It's about medieval stuff and... Is it actually called Lola Ones? No. Okay, so you just lied. But it's a good idea, right? You just fibbed. It is a good idea, but you fibbed at me. I bared false witness and I apologize. And you didn't say that you were fibbing, you just went on... I'm saying right now I was fibbing.

I was going to be stuck with that fib and I was going to... If I went up to someone in conversation and told them about Old Ones, this channel that I heard my friend Matt talk about, I would be embarrassed because they'd go up and look and who knows what they'd find on YouTube. I don't know what comes up when you search Old Ones. But regardless, go on. What is this channel? He does videos on medieval stuff but like fun medieval stuff so it'll be like torture things. Yeah a lot on that but it'll be like where did peasants

sleep on their journeys or like what did a peasant eat? Has he been doing videos for years? Yeah yeah. Because there was this channel I was super into that just went into like the how does the plumbing work in castles? He does videos like that. I watched like- British Axis? I think so. It was like videos from like two something,

it would go into like even like the normal life of a common folk and it's like, the streets were covered in shit. He does those videos. In fact, he has that. I love those. I got on a stint of them for like maybe two weeks. They're great.

There's another one I watched that's called Told in Stone, I think, and he does it about ancient Rome. Anyway, the medieval stuff, I've been on a big medieval kick because of Elden Rigg. Elden Rigg. Elden Rigg. It got me into, I'm having a medieval phase. Which YouTube killed. Fuck you, YouTube. I shouldn't say that.

Frick you YouTube! You bunch of crunts! Crunt is a fantastic word dude. That's a good one. Did you come up with that? I just didn't want to say the other thing. Crunt. But you know what I mean YouTube. It's open for interpretation. They might interpret it in the worst way possible. So I hope they do interpret it in the worst way possible, but they can't say anything because crunt is not a bad word. Nope. It might allude to a bad word. We'll see. But that's, that's the thing. That's what matters is that it's with the intention. Well, actually

for sexual content, it's for sexual gratification. So not just nudity. Nudity in itself isn't super bad. I mean we've seen the guy, roll the clip Luke, the guy spreading his asshole, you know it became popular on TikTok. For Patreon, yeah there's the clip. And Luke also put this YouTube video up of how to put on a condom. Just for educational purposes of course of course but man the medieval stuff has been very fun to watch and

Elvin Rigg got me really into learning more about medieval shit. How miserable of a time that was. Exactly what I was gonna say. That's where I was going with this. Just because we have everything today that we have like we think about a lot of people think of it in kind of like the, in the way of, oh what's that movie called? It's where Martin Lawrence goes back in time. Where it's like a modern guy. Martin Lawrence's Time Travel Adventure. Yeah, sure.

But there's a, I can't remember what it's called, but a lot of like Hollywood and a lot of probably people, they all conceptualize going back to medieval times as like, whoa, it's like everything's kind of just what it is. You know, I'm just gonna go over and tool around and have some fun, but you're not gonna like under, first of all, you're probably not gonna understand a word these people are speaking.

The English is so different. It's gonna like the accent and everything. Well, it depends on I guess how far back you go, but like. Like even taking a time machine back to like, no, I was about to say Western time. Well, I think like 1600s even you'd have a hard time understanding English. Let alone medieval times. Oh my god.

What? So medieval times is what like 1200? I was thinking 12 to 1400s? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sound about right? Yeah, I think so. I hope it's not 700 to 800s. 700, okay, I think medieval time in my mind, 600 feels way too early, but I would say 700

feels like it's medieval. 700 to 1500, in my mind. Because past 1500, it starts to not feel very medieval. Well, Matt, we have a lot of wiggle room. It lasted from 476 AD to the late 15th century okay so so we were correct to an extent why did it start at that year like specifically it just a random ass year 1456 maybe it's when like a monarchy was put in place of like a king like that probably yeah but I was just thinking about fucking miserable life would have been back then like also I love back then like you're working at 12 years old like you just like we're going out in the fields

Where's all the piss shit and garbage going a lot of it's in the streets Oh, they would that was in one of the videos I watched they they were talking about that where it's like you would just piss and shit in a bedpan whatever just the second floor disgusting in a bedpan, whatever, just throw it out. Toss it out the second floor. Disgusting. I know. And then people just walk through it and think about how bad shit smelled.

And they didn't want to, like, why did no one go, guys, what if we all pissed and shit and like, we poured it out in a designated area, like maybe we dig a hole, and then it doesn't smell bad? Well, eventually plumbing, well, I mean, plumbing was mostly for the castles The rich yeah. The castle systems had their, except you know plumbing is as much as plumbing could be. It was you know shoots for your shit. Longer shoots so you didn't have to see it or like bedpans that would be

replaced instantaneously by the the chamber maidens whatever they were called chamber maidens I think there's no way no no I think chamber maiden is a that is a cool the chamber sounds like a bathroom you know chamber maidens cool band name the chamber maidens we could start it yeah we can be the chamber maidens yeah we could use a like voice modulation and have like VTuber personas ooh and will be like medieval women with large bosoms that are, you know. Fat moose knuckle.

Huge moose knuckle. Like you could go fucking like cave diving in that thing. Oh yeah. But there was one torture method where they would put you in, I think it's called the Oubilette, which was like toilet in French or some shit. But you would get dropped down into the bottom

of a castle's toilet and the toilet back then was literally just just like a well with no water at the bottom. You die from it. And they'd push you down so you'd be incredibly injured from the fall after falling like 20, 30 feet. So you survived that most likely and with broken bones and you're stuck down there and then you are just down there getting pissed on and shit on until you die until you drown in piss and shit until you kill or become sick and die from infection and I think dude they had this one torture that was so insane like well all the torches they did back then were insane. They got really creative.

The feather on the feet? That's almost kind of sexy though. Diabolical. Yeah, absolutely diabolical. That torture where they would suck your toes one by one, over and over. When they put itching powder in your pantaloons? Torture methods but they're like cartoon ass You're chained up, you're like

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH That would suck if someone put itching powder in your pantaloons and then changed you up so you couldn't itch That would fucking suck. That would be awful That would be torture It is torture, yeah But they had one where they would put you in this like box where it's not big enough to stand up but it's not like why you it's not you can't sit down as well yes you can't sit down or stand up so you're always in I remember that one too you're stuck in like an uncomfortable

position yeah so so you can't actually ever like rest and they will not feed you or anything until you're on the brink of death. Then they'll give you food just to keep you alive. And then just keep it going. I feel, medieval times, people were literally just having fun. They were bored as shit. Dude, they were just literally coming up with like, what's the most fun way to make someone suffer? Let's create a helmet that screws into someone's head a hole. Okay.

And then maybe it can pop both the eyes out and the tongue gets pulled five feet out the mouth. How about a machine that... I mean, these are essentially saw traps. I'm picturing them and I'm like, these are literally just saw traps. They had... I'm trying to think of some of the other ones. They had the fucking pear. I forgot what it was called

But it was something pear and it was this like metal ball that they would put in your mouth And then start like turning a crank or some kind of inspector gadget shit and spikes would slowly come out of the of this ball Until it just pierced through, you know your head and like your jaw and your you know everything horrible horrible horrible Tard and feathered you know if Luke is You know if Luke's acting up, you know uploads the podcast later something. I think we should tar and feather him It's got to suck because you know I learned about tar and feathering when I went to Charleston on a tour when I was young in the middle school. Do you die from that do the suffocation?

Because your skin can't breathe Oh, you really you die from suffocation from your skin not being able to breathe whoa That's that's that's what I remember that person telling me on the tour it's because like covering your skin and like tar I'm gonna get burned yeah that sounds dude that sounds miserable because you're fucking burning like fucking crazy tar is you can't get this shit off of you what are you to scrape your skin off and grow more skin like a lizards don't do it doesn't want to just do tails you can't grow more skin who a... lizards don't do. It doesn't work. They just do tails. You can't grow more skin.

Who regrows skin? Snakes? Ummm, they do. Who else sheds? I'm sure some fish shed. Crabs? Crustaceans? Yeah, crustaceans do I think.

I mean snails. Nooooo. Switch shells. Do crustaceans do? Crabs do. I don't know. They get really... Remember there was an episode of SpongeBob where Mr. Krabs gets really soft and pink.

Yes. And then he gets a new shell. They molt? Yeah, yeah, something like that. Bugs, a lot of bugs do. You know, like cicadas and stuff. You'd find the exoskeletons. Which humans did that?

That'd be fucking awesome. And you'd be saved from tar and feathering. Exactly. If you could just saved from tar and feathering. Exactly. If you could just get out of your skin. Have you ever gotten tar on your hands before? No. Dude, it is fucking sticky. It does not.

Where'd you go play with tar? Sometimes I would just roll around in it when I was a kid. Okay. Was there just like a tar pit or something? Yeah, my dad dug one in the backyard cuz you know those are like to you know There's a you know you there's a lot of money to be made in tar piton Is that also Thomas Jefferson? Did he say that no that's that's a I? Was about to say Ruby

Roundhouse and I have no idea that that's who the fuck is Ruby roundhouse That's the that's the character from the recent Jumanji movies Dude your brain red Dude, your brain. The redheaded one. Your brain, it's so fascinating how it works when it comes to pulling names out of your head for. Out of my. Noggin?

Out of your hat? Hey! Names out of a hat. You keep. Pulling names out of my hat. Well, it says Waleed on it. So there is a name on that hat. It's Waleed's hat, I guess. That's not even like his merch. That's just his hat and it has his name on it because he puts his name on all his

clothes so he doesn't lose it and you stole it from him and he's losing his shit trying to find it. Well, I hope he's not worried about that. I love you Waleed. In fact, Waleed has a message for all of you. I was about to say, I was about to say hopefully like, in my head, in my self-edit, there was like Waleed comes in and goes, it's like, no problem Ryan, but now we're giving him more, I like this more screen time. You want to give him more screen time? So can that idea of, and no more thank you Ryan, what does he get Matt? Maybe we can have a message from Waleed. A message from Waleed but specifically on the topic of, we've been talking about medieval

stuff so maybe Waleed can bring in- Your favorite medieval torture device. What is Waleed's favorite medieval torture device? Here we go. Hey everybody, I would probably say my favorite medieval torture device would be the brazen bowl. Now if you guys don't know what the brazen bowl is, essentially it's like a metal bowl statue kind of thing, like a sculpture almost, but it has a door inside so you could put

someone in there, like a bad person, you put them in there and then you light a fire underneath so then they burn from the inside. The metal gets really hot, right? So when the metal gets hot, they start screaming like, ah, you know, and then because it's in a bowl, it kind of sounds like the bowl is screaming. So I kind of like it because both it's like painful, but then also has this really cool elevated approach where it's kind of like, oh, it's like a two in one, you know? Anyways, yeah, the Brazen Bowl is my favorite medieval torture device. Perfect. Thank you, Waleed. And now we're going to go to a quick commercial break.

Ryan is out in the bathroom, I think.

Draining some piss out of his penis. So I figured I'd do a little solo segment and just talk to you guys one on one. Uno in uno. Let's talk about space, guys. There's been a lot of cool Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, no space talk. No space talk. We have a whole two hour podcast dedicated to it.

No, we don't. Yeah, we do. No, we don't. One of our longest podcast episodes recorded in the Super Mega Show recorded is about space and aliens and all that stuff. And then the long, I see one of the longest episodes at the Super Mega Cast is about space and aliens and all that stuff. So no more, no more.

Just a little bit. I mean, is there any alien updates? No, I mean, there was the New Jersey drone shit and that kind of just died out of the news real quick So I know you you looked at what looked like my shoulder and I at the corner my eye I saw something kind of like sparkle on my shoulder on my jacket and I thought that maybe there was a bug on me No, there's no bug on you. I was making sure that this was spinning It is and it is spinning and for the audio listeners going, what is he talking about? Talking about my erection.

Yeah, oh it's spinning all right. It's going woo woo woo. Like that one old internet thing that you would click on. You know what it is? You know the name? Mmm. See, my brain is doing it. M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m.

I know, it's not Lemon Party, I know. No, Lemon Party is. That's party. I know that's the old man That's the old man having gay sex. What is this one? Me me me me me me me me I don't I oh meat spin. Yeah, okay. I just need the first part meat spin who owns that domain Hey, dude, wouldn't it be so fucking cool to own a classic domain like that? Well, I think meat Canyon should do the original Meat Spin. Oh my God, dude, like as a reference?

We're challenging other YouTubers to do the Meat Spin. We're doing the Meat Spin Challenge. We nominate Meat Canyon, JacksFilms, CutieCinderella. No! Ha ha ha! I love the idea of nominating other YouTubers to have gay sex

And film it with their their penis is spinning. Well, I dude meat spin as mingold Oh, I'd love to see that his dirty ass bedroom XQC XQC and as mingold Emma Emily CC. I'm just we can't have just a fully male dominated space Well, it's gay sex Now I don't want get into it, but yeah. Aaron and Dan? 100%. Gay sex? I'm in.

I've never heard of it. One of those? Danny's act, but you actually find out he's never heard of homosexuality to begin with. What? How does that even work? Wait, two men can't kiss? What? Could anyone be a homosexual? He starts looking out like going out in the street and seeing...

Like his heartbeat, you can hear it as he's walking, looking, like shifting his eyes side to side. Like the same anxiety of like a schizophrenic who believes they're being spied upon. They're being gang-stocked. But it's just, it's Danny realizing that gay people exist and they could be anywhere. There is an old, like, PSA video about homosexuality from like the 50s that pretty much is that premise. And it goes, beware, one may never know when the homosexual is about and it's it is like gay people can be anywhere and anyone That is true. It's true. They can be anywhere and it can be Anyone could even be you

The viewer are you gay? Good welcome to super mega show. Yeah, this is the last the remaining part of this podcast is just for the gays Yeah, no finger wagging to the gays from us boys. No, we're not gonna do any finger wagging. Maybe a little meat spinning though Okay, yeah, you know dude meat spin is is awesome though Like do you remember you you you remember you'd pull it up on a friend's computer if I can prank the shit out of them? And it would say how many spins it's gotten through? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'd prank friends with it. I was just about to say, I thought that was, I treated it as like the YouTube before YouTube when I was a kid. Did you prank your friends, is that what people did? It's a gift, it's just a looping gift. Well I know what it is. I had a lot of fun.

How was it to YouTube before YouTube? You just sit there watching it? Just sitting there watching it? Yeah it's old internet. I mean you didn't have much to do on old internet. How long are you watching it for? How long is your average YouTube video I guess? It depends.

Sometimes I just click into check and sometimes I binge binge you know into check like there's some new update Something's changed. I'm still spinning sometimes. I just binge meat spin dude dude. I've been to meat spin this weekend Oh my god, dude. That's some crazy shit. Have you done that have you seen it yet? Have you binged it yet? You guys gotta see you gotta get through the whole thing I have I still haven't been able to I just realized something You're 30. I still haven't been able to. I just realized something. You're 30. I am just shy of 35. And our audience, there's probably some people listening to this right now, they're going

meat spin? What the hell is that? Because they're born in like 2000 or something. Yeah, so what, you want to introduce our younger audience toetspin? I'm trying to show them some gay porn. I mean if they were born in 2000 they're 24. Yeah. Going on 25 some of them are already 25 depending on when they were born. Oh my god. I guess our audience that's born after 9-11, I think 9-11 is a good comparable point for meat spin if you know it or not. If you're born after 9-11, you probably don't know meat spin.

But if you're born before 9-11, you've seen the meat spin. And for those who don't know what meat spin is, just a fair warning before you go looking it up, it is gay porn. Porn? Dude, it's full porn. Porn? Dude, it's full penetration, it's sodomy. I mean. It's anal sex. I mean, but it's not done for sexual gratification,

it's done for a good giggle and gaff and goof and laugh. Which means it would be allowed on YouTube because it's not done for sexual gratification. Like our Eldenrig video. Exactly. Like the part when my character was emoting and it was close up on my face and I was getting mad, That was done for the purpose of sexual gratification. Apparently. Yeah. And if it's a mistake, we're just gonna leave it as the mistake that it is and we're gonna say that it was a mistake and then not fix it. Mm-hmm. Even though people make a living off of this platform. They do. We're a bit, we're a bit

We're a bit red about that one. Red in the face. We're cherry red in the cheeks. And I'm not talking about our bottoms. I'm talking about these cheeks. Yeah, our face cheeks. Our face cheeks. Very, very, very, very cherry red. Because YouTube.com, aka Google. Not to be confused with U2, the band. No. They're're wonderful I don't

want to throw any shade their way but or light because we don't really listen to them that much I do oh I'm always listening to YouTube every it's a beautiful day every damn day wake up and I throw my YouTube on I go I listen to my YouTube while I'm playing with my YouTube's and watching some YouTube. What were you going on though? You were gonna say something. Yeah, I was gonna say we're cherry red in the face because Elden rig guys if you haven't seen it yet, it's our our new video which we worked very hard on the views are going Oh my god 100,000 200 Oh, 200,000. Oh, almost at 300.

Quack. Uh, guy age restricted. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I mean, like, 2024 views were not the highest. They're currently not the highest they've ever been. So we've been trying to, you know, we've been praying for a miracle. We drop Eldenrig after putting a crazy amount of work into it. Like I would say between- That's in a bunch amount of work into it. Like I would say between you and me and the editors that we paid in thank yous and exposure.

I went on the Twitter and I tweeted their at. But I would say like legit, I know this might sound dumb, you might be like how? We probably collectively sunk 200 hours into that video. Like editing and we were very excited for it. You can see, we put our blood, sweat, tears, a little bit of piss into it. People are saying it's the best edited video on the channel. Well again, we'd love to take full credit for it

because that would be sick. And we are. But while Matt and I did do edit, do a lot of the editing, there was also two others that did a lot of the editing. Shout out Wade Barnes. Sorry, I'm sorry. I fucked up.

I cut off a fantastic bit you were doing. No, no. Well, Mikey and Wade Barnes. Yeah. I caught up a fantastic bit you were doing. No, no, but you... Oh, Mikey and Wade Barnes. Yeah, but shout out to Matt and shout out to... Tolek? Yeah, his name is Tolek. I'm not giving myself credit. It's just another editor named Matt from Poland.

And then shout out to Mikey, Xtopia. Mikey Boi! Yeah, two super cool dudes that we met over the interweb who hit us up and they were like, hey, I edit and we looked at their stuff and went, holy smokes, you want to help us? So they did a fantastic job cutting down almost six hours of footage into what it is. So thank you guys.

But this video, I was surprised. It's monetized fully. For days. For days it is monetized fully and creeping up in the algorithm. And that was the big thing for me. I don't care about any money it makes. I care about it helping us grow.

And for the first time. Which it did. Yeah, it did. But for the first time in like six months, I would say we were finally experiencing some like decent growth on the channel because I mean even years ago Super mega has always been We get stuck at like one number. Yeah, and then we kind of tick tick tick up That's that's kind of honestly been the history of super mega honestly

Yeah, minus little bursts here and there it's been a very steady Like you're going over and then we usually tick to our final goal. That's typically what happens We're waiting we're waiting then we tick to the final goal. Yeah, we're not blowing up or anything There there have been you know times where something has boosted us temporarily with a big influx of subs But and times when the opposite. I was mostly at the very beginning when we announced the channel, and a lot of people came in,

and of course, like, it did grow exponentially, but I do feel like the biggest growth we have ever seen in the channel was when we just made it live, and people came in and subscribed. But other than that, yeah, it has been just kind of like a steady, slight boost, ticking, slight boost,

ticking up. Like a roller coaster going up. Yeah. And what happens at the top, what happens when a roller coaster goes up? A big loop-de-loop, yep. YouTube age restricts our video out of the blue. And I'm frustrated because when a video gets

age restricted, guys, I'm ripping my hair out because that means it kills all momentum. Like the momentum that this video has in the algorithm, The video gets age restricted, guys. I'm ripping my hair out because that means it kills all momentum. Like the momentum that this video has in the algorithm, helping us grow, we're getting new subscribers, we're getting good views, finally. Like you and I were so excited. It's a video we're proud of. Yeah, it's one that we worked hard on.

It's growing the channel. We were really, really, really, really stoked. And YouTube came in, age restricted it, which kills it in the algorithm. Age restricted it. They gave us the timecode too. They age restricted it for nudity and sexual content which they say is like content for the sake of sexual gratification. Yes they specifically say that they have examples of what counts as sexual content, and you know, they have like,

exposure of genitals, blah, blah, blah, blah, for the purpose of sexual gratification. They gave us the timestamp, we watched the part, and it's literally my character emoting, and it zooms in up close on his face, and the other half of the screen is a close-up of my face Looking at the TV screen going. Oh fuck. Why is he doing this stop? That's it So clearly no nudity or sexual content so we of course appeal this

Because YouTube allows you to submit an appeal and it's late at night So I'm like, I'm sure they'll respond tomorrow boom 20 30 minutes later they have manually can confirm that means someone apparently apparently apparently apparently I don't believe it but apparently a human did go yes there is there is graphic nudity in rice video that is for the purpose of sexual gratification. Which this fully makes me believe that their manual review. I mean you looked good in your costume I will say. Thank you, thank you.

But I think that this, I think when you do an appeal, the manual review, I think that that is just a second bot. I don't think that it's. No, God no. Maybe it's like a more meticulous bot, but... They've lawyer worded it to use the word manual, so it incentivizes people to kind of just give up and be like, okay, I guess a person looked at it,

when I think it really is just terminology they're using to kind of placate the creator base. Because they don't say human review. No. I mean, it could be a Spanish guy named Manuel. True, I didn't think about that. But there's no accent or anything. That's true.

Anyway, so this was. Hortilde. In the middle of his name. Eñe. Ooh, I love Eñe. Love an Eñe shape. And I love Eñe. But dude, we were pissed because this means there's no chance.

Right-shift. Chuffed to bits. Yeah, absolutely. It means there's no chance of our video getting unage-restricted, which now also means that no monetization, so no money is being made, and it's dead in its tracks. It's just sitting dead in the water. So we were fucking bummed so we do We reach out on Twitter what any good youtuber does you know we we we at the team YouTube on Twitter We we have this post we explain what the problem is that very well it incorrectly flagged it We even provided the video clip ourself in that response

You can go look we wait probably not like not even ten minutes and we get a response from team YouTube. I mean we're looking into it. We can pull it up. Yeah. Basically yeah I'll let you read through it. You just want to read through the whole saga so people can get an exact image and the video that I attached I mean Luke could even just put the video up, silently playing, but you can see that there's no nudity at all. And the time stamp given. It starts with us going, at Team YouTube, our video was wrongly age restricted for nudity

and sexual content. Here's the moment that was flagged, and as you can see, there is no nudity at all in our video. We appealed and it was almost immediately manually rejected. What gives? Please help fix this. This unfortunately completely kills any, and we talk about it killing traction.

YouTube responds, totally hear you on this. Wanna make sure we're looking at the right video. Can you share the video URL so we can take a look? And so we send them the URL? We wait a bit and then we get a response. Thanks We'll take a look at this and let you know what we find hold tight It may take a couple of days to hear back so already we're going the video is already dead Like it's already reviving it. Yeah, it's like We're okay with limited ads. Yeah would make sense, because we've,

for language and stuff like that. I mean, it's a vulgar video. Yeah. You know, it's like, we're not gonna try to fight this and pretend like it's not a vulgar video. But age restriction. That's the thing. Limited ads make sense.

We say a lot of swear words, we're smoking marijuana. I get it, it's vulgar. But YouTube saying this, you know, I got a little hopeful because in the past when we have gone at YouTube on Twitter over an issue, they have generally been helpful. They've fixed things, they've overturned a lot of appeals.

YouTubers in the past, they did it with Dr. Drew recently. It's really kind of a roll of the dice, but I was a little bit hopeful. The video is dead, unfortunately, with no revival, but at least if we can get it un-age restricted, it can keep just at least breathing. So we see that it would take a couple of days and we're like, but this is your mistake. So we respond back and we're kind of fine with them. It's like you can see how age restrictions just stop a video's growth and its tracks.

We're really laying into them. I put a graph. You did? I did put a graph. I put a graph of the views where you can see where the age restriction happened and they went. So after that back and forth, we finally get a response from Team YouTube.

Drum roll please. Update, colon. After reviewing the video that you appealed to, we found that the content does violate our vulgar language policy because it contains language That may not be appropriate for viewers under 18. The video is age-restricted So that's what we got back so my first thought about seeing that is one I don't believe So I don't think many videos a lot of videos are put on limited, limited to no ads or whatever for vulgar language.

Yeah. Not many videos are age restricted for vulgar language and the only ones that I can really imagine that are, that are, are for when people use slurs. Like that is vulgar language that would be age restricted. Like hate speech but even like shown in like a documentary. Right, that's what I was gonna say. Like hate speech like shown in a documentary purpose could be age restricted. Yeah.

But I have never seen a video age restricted and it just doesn't really happen. They'll demonetize it. For language. Yeah, for language. And also they said that oh, it violates this policy, so it's age restricted for this. We go on our YouTube back end, it still says it's age restricted for nudity. So the only place that says, the only official documentation of it being age restricted for vulgar language is just in their tweet. So it's not even official.

There's more to the saga, believe it or not. You were a part of it so you would know. So we weren't kind of having that so because in our heads we're okay with you doing whatever you want to the video. Do not have our video tagged as if it has nudity and graphic sexual content in it. That's just a false flag. That is just wrong. It is an incorrect thing to flag our video for. Yeah. If you say it's for language, then go into the back end and change it. Because regardless of, uh, the like vulgarity of the video or it being age restricted, the fact that it's age restricted specifically for nudity and sexual content is

factually incorrect. And I'm sure there's something in the back end that like remember, like I'm worried in the future we have a problem, people are going through like fast looking through fast reports, not looking at all the details in them and just going, we see that you were age restricted for graphic nudity. In the past you have posted graphic nudity.

And it's like, no, we haven't. This is like, this shouldn't be something that then we have to go and correct them on in future Altercations we have with the system because we know that we will have future Altercations with their fucking system, and I worry that on the back end the freaking system I'm sorry. I worry that on the back end like No one understands the algorithm, but it's so complex And I do worry that now having a video age restricted on our channel for graphic sexual content

will not promote our channel as much because it's flagged as having that content so it pushes it back in the algorithm You know it's not safe for advertisers or viewers So we try to get YouTube to at least fix that and just like if you're going to keep it age restricted Well, we sent a response we did we said hey team youtube our video is still being falsely flagged for nudity slash sexual content we request your help in resolving this issue at is it at as it is incorrect to attribute sexual content to our video that isn't there we would prefer our video be flagged accurately rather than having it mistakenly marked for something that isn't present please help us fix your mistake."

Here's the video. Fire writing right there, McGee. And then we get another response from Team YouTube after this, not too long after. Drum roll? There's nothing more we can do on our side to change the outcome. These decisions are made very thoughtfully and our community guidelines exist to make YouTube a safer community for everyone. Thanks again for understanding."

It's like one, there is no understanding that we've come to. Also, we ratioed you guys on a ratio of like 10 to one essentially. Sheesh! But now we're not getting on age restricted. It's embarrassing. You've embarrassed them.

But we sent a response that was very, we were just biting back a little. We said, in quotes, very, very thoughtfully, genuinely, please explain why this clip is flagged for nudity and sexual content, there's zero nudity or sexual content in this clip, or within the entirety of our video. Yet it's all or sorry, yet it's still age restricted for that specific reason. That's not thoughtful. It's just flat out incorrect.

Which is true. Yeah. We don't mind if you tell us your system made some sort of clerical mistake or just any sort of mistake. But there should at least be... When... usually like, I don't know, a conversation doesn't go, you did something wrong. Okay! Like usually there's some sort of like, okay, how can I help fix this, what I did wrong? Yes, I think that it was mistakenly flagged and for some reason, instead of just correcting it, they doubled down and now that they've doubled down,

they are not going to turn back. They're saying, there's nothing we can do. It's like, it's your website, what do you mean? There's nothing you can do. And also, you've helped us in the past before with stuff of similar of like honestly stuff that like This one seems like the most glaring of something they should fix. Yes, because it's just factually incorrect You can literally go look at the clip that they flagged and there was zero sexual continent, but we meant for language

Yeah, then put, also, also, this is something I brought up to you today. It's like language is like an audio thing. The graphic nudity is like a visual thing. What did you say? You said something about like they could hear the nudity. Oh yeah, like they heard the nudity or something. It was just like, how does the system make a mistake

in accidentally, like apparently, this how does the system make a mistake in accidentally like apparently this is what the system did it heard curses and then something happened to where it misunderstood those curses and turned it into graphic nudity within its own back end system to flag it as nudity like it doesn't make sense that it just, I don't get it. And legitimately, like I think they got caught with egg on their face. And we like that, like that post-e-plot, which was very well worth it. Thank you.

I'll fire back at them. But I think that the double down is just insane because they, I feel like they just go, oh fuck, well. I mean there's nothing we can do about it. We have to find another reason to age restrict it. Here's the real reason it's age-restricted instead. And it's just unheard of to age-restrict for language. And it's not like this video is any more vulgar

than any of the other videos on this channel, any of the 2,000 fucking videos. And all of them get age-restricted. They're like, you're right. Fuck! Yeah, and also, I'm just gonna say, the most glaringly obvious thing in this I thought drug use yes that the easy way out for them would have been this it's

age-restricted for the use of marijuana but if they go back and say that it is that now it's like what you've changed your mind three separate occasions to just find a way to make sure it just maintains age-restricted instead of switching it to limited ads. When it was age restricted and before I saw the reason I was like 100% for weed. And we would have understood that. Yes that I would have understood because the other you die you smoke videos Those are age restricted. I don't know about all of them, but some of them are for what reason drug paraphernalia and stuff and I Understand that and as much as it sucks I get it this is just fucking fun we can't really fight on yeah we can't find on this because

they're just wrong right this is not like a debate with YouTube where we're saying no our video is appropriate and they're going no it's inappropriate we're going no it's not this is just factually incorrect and they want them to fix the air and well they they've they've recognized the air and publicly so my next my next step they have we put out another tweet they have not responded they're ghosting us as of right now so we contacted a rep at YouTube that we know and pretty much the same type yes he basically just sent back a response, very short, that was like, oh, hmm, this seems to be a clerical error with no anything else about how to fix it

or if it's going to be fixed. He just stated, looks like a clerical error. And in my original email that I sent, I was like, you know, we worked really hard on this. It's just factually incorrect. I attached the video. Here's the Twitter thread. Can you help us in fixing this mistake? And then he just said, I attached the video, here's the Twitter thread, can

you help us in fixing this mistake? And then he just said, looks like clerkware. So I was like, okay, could you help us fix it? And he basically said, they put a lot of thought into this stuff, their team, and I don't, there's nothing I can do. And I said, okay, well can you point- There's no thought put into it because it's just incorrect. It's not even like a basis of right it's it's not like debating is God real or not who's correct in that debate. This is just a like it Is it red or blue and is this is this a shade of green? no It's not a shade of green. I mean you tell me I'm incorrect yeah, and then

But as you can see, Matt and I are... Well, I mean there's no happy ending. There is a conclusion to the emails. I say, well, would you be able to point us in the right direction to get in contact with someone that could help us? And he just said, I think your best bet would just be YouTube support chat. Like just the YouTube general support chat, which is mostly bots and also,

we've used it before, it is bullshit, they're not gonna help. So that's where we are. The truth of the matter is, we're not like many other who even, like a million is a large number to get to, but even with a million subscribers, those like YouTubers, like there is, the hierarchy doesn't really start to come in unless

you're like and this is no shade but unless you are like a hot ones mark applyer jacksepticeye they'll listen to you then they'll definitely like they don't want to upset you in that case I get it because it's it's a capitalistic system so the big boys it makes... It makes sense, you know? But it is... It's just fucking frustrating. It sucks for the medium man. Yeah. I wouldn't... I don't want to call ourselves the little guy.

Yeah. I mean, relatively, sure, but it's like... We're like in the middle... We're the middle class of YouTube. Yeah, yeah, I'd say that. It's just fucking annoying, guys, and we're not sure what to do. We're gonna keep trying to fight it. Maybe we'll make an expose video on YouTube.

Calling out YouTube for their grievous error. They are about to wish that they never fucking touched us. They're gonna wish that they never bought YouTube. In fact, if you look on screen right now, there's a list of names scrolling. These are all lists, these are all names of YouTube employees that we will be stalking and doxxing. Gang stalking.

We have hired a lot of gang stalkers on Craigslist. I love, I mean you could probably do that. You could find anything on Craigslist. Do you think if we put a Craigslist ad looking for gang stalkers? Could you stalk us? I need you to gang stalk my friend. Do you think we'd get replies?

Probably, yeah, I'm sure. I'll go, sure, I'll gang stock, what, 20 bucks a day? Well thank you all for supporting the show. We have a little more, a little extra slice of this show over on Patreon as the super mini show. That's right. You can go enjoy that. We also have extra behind the scenes content

as well as a little show called Uncle Sleepover where we talk over movies. Not just that, but there's not just one type of tier people can have, right Matthew? That's right and that's why there's names on the screen. If you are a podcast producer or an executive producer, you get your name in every new episode of SuperMegaShow and you also get stickers in the mail every month. Look at these stickers on screen, beautiful. We have the best sticker club. I'm just gonna flat out say it.

We have the best stickers. We have the best stickers, cause we have fun envelopes that change colors each month, and the stickers you get multiple, unless it's like a big bumper sticker, and they're great. And we secretly kiss some of the stickers. We do, and we just work very hard on it.

And I will throw out real quick, because we had a switch up with our sticker club management with the person who was packing it and we trained someone new, it's been a bit of a switch up because it was so out of the blue. So if you've had any problems receiving your stickers for any months or you know. Now would be the time to send an email.

Yes, stickers at funnybrothers.com. Luke, put it on screen if you can. This is the support email. So go ahead and send this email an email and we'll get you all taken care of. Same with if you have any merch issues, merge at funnybrothers.com. And that's all folks. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Like the circle closes? Yeah.

You know. Yeah. Okay. Put a nut on a frying pan and try to cook it up. Flip it? You gotta remember to flip it. I am actually very curious about that now. That's a lot of coming you'd have to do, cause like an egg has a good bit of yolk in it. I mean if you want you could just do a little splat into a tiny... Like a mini egg. Like those cute little TikTok channels making small tiny foods for their small tiny animals.
