Starting point is 00:00:00 Hats off. Yeah, I've made it still dimes. Welcome, guys. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen. And extraterrestrials and everyone beyond the galaxy, beyond the universe,
Starting point is 00:00:14 and the man upstairs too. Because I know you listen to this sometimes. Welcome back to the long-awaited group chat, podcast, episode, I think, 121, I think. Episode one. Season three episode one. Season three, episode one. We're back to the basics.
Starting point is 00:00:34 We're back to the basics. We're back to the basics. So, okay, we're back on the setups. And it's new backgrounds, because a lot has happened. Just before this intro, I was telling the guys a couple of facts here and I'm going to list them out real quick.
Starting point is 00:00:50 So real quick, that's number one. Number two, last podcast episode, re-recorded, was September 24th, or at least not recorded, but posted, which was almost a year ago. So it's been almost a year of like no podcast episodes. And the last time we did a podcast on Discord with this kind of setup was over a year ago,
Starting point is 00:01:18 like a year and a half. It was like 528 days, which is a long, long, long, long, long time ago. And I'll be real. I'm very excited to be back on the computers. I love the computers, but I'm biased. So I enjoy the computer. It's fair enough. It's fair enough.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I mean, we don't have the very distracting. When we had the Iro shit, there was a lot of things that I was trying to implement. And you know what? Live and you learn. Nah, we're not doing that no more. We're not doing no. That's what I learned. Our vibe is so much better virtually, too.
Starting point is 00:01:55 We're born. This is how it all started. This is where we started. So it helps. It's like going back to your mother's house. Yeah, yeah. We're back at Mama's house. Yeah, we had a season two was at our friend's house where you all live together in a dormitory and season three is back in mom's house.
Starting point is 00:02:11 No, that was like the Europe trip after you finish school. You got a Europe for a little bit and then you come back. It's Christmas. We tried it out. Yeah. How many IRL episodes were there? 24. 24.
Starting point is 00:02:23 24. That's about a season of any show you want to watch. So that makes sense. Good anime season right there. It's funny that these podcast episodes, people view them as like season episodes. I was watching or I read somewhere where someone he was like, I put my friend on and they're on episode like 38
Starting point is 00:02:40 and they still have season two to go. I'm like, dude, this is like a show. Like there's like an arc and there's like, I mean, they're technically it's, but it's interesting. But no, it's honestly, and this is going to stay put like this setup, with just Discord is going to be pretty much.
Starting point is 00:02:58 There might be a sprinkle of episodes maybe, but honest to God, I think this might be just the for now and ever kind of deal. For now, until the foreseeable future. Like, we still have all of the equipment to record an RRL podcast. It's sitting.
Starting point is 00:03:14 But, yeah, it's upstairs, not set up. This is very easy, and that is not very easy. There's like three. And it's also had a lot of technical difficulties every now and then.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And at one point, at one point like for that the last episode was the swagger souls episode which was long time ago and i had to edit a fucking roll blocks blender mess up thing and i was like low-key like you know that was like one of my first big blender project so i was proud of it but it's so funny looking back at it and like the i don't know i was like so under the pressure because i was like fuck how do i fix this and i remember i would go to isaac's room and i'll be like icic the footage corrupted Dude, you got to take a look at this because I didn't want to feel like I was the only one who did see this and I remember I remember we'd record a podcast and then two days later everyone be looking at me a little sideways and they would be afraid to kind of like admit that the fucking footage curve. Yeah. Yeah. It's like how did it happen so much. Yeah. What happens? Oh, I don't know. I I really don't know. Sometimes like the the interface, not the interface, but like the app I was using to control. Yeah, the camera would freeze. And then I didn't know how to like like like. Should I implugged?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Should I leave it alone? Should I wait? Should I? And then, yeah, it was just, it was dumb. Dude, I think of the 24 episodes that happened like four or five times, right? I think so. Yeah. Happened quite often.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Three of those times were towards the end when we were trying to record after the Swagger Souls. That was a sign, bro. That was a sign. Dude, oh my gosh. We didn't talk about this ever, I think. And I wish I thought of it before we started this podcast. I don't know if we're allowed to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 so maybe cut this part, but can I talk about it really quick? Just see if we can talk about it. The high podcast with Pat Goddrey got high for the first time. Oh, my God. No, we could talk about that. Did we not? We should actually like mention it. Did you?
Starting point is 00:05:14 Okay. No, because the reason why we didn't talk about it was because we never posted it. It was supposed to be a podcast. That's why it was there. And also Pat God was like, no, don't show me online. agrees to the podcast and he doesn't want it out did we ever talk about the Maton podcast
Starting point is 00:05:32 no we did I'm pretty sure we talked about the Pat God and the Maton one no we never talked about the Maton one and then I don't know well either way either way now you know we have to catch everybody up because there's it's been a long long period from the last time
Starting point is 00:05:50 you guys had ever seen or heard from us on the podcast at least. Just kind of like was going, going, going and then stopped. And like we said before, yeah, we had some complications.
Starting point is 00:06:01 We did have intentions on making... However, however, and this is like the funny thing because people pick up on like, because towards the end of like the last few episodes, um, me see, me being on like the fucking,
Starting point is 00:06:14 the control panel and seeing everyone and what everyone's saying things like that, I was able to see the, the increase people, like the increase of people wondering like, what is like, man, did they have a bad day today? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:06:27 Man, they're moving so off and like all these things. And then the podcast goes off. And then it's like empty and, you know, so in some weird instance, it kind of makes sense. Again,
Starting point is 00:06:37 this is like a TV show in a weird way. Like when you, you know, when we're all 60 years old and we're looking back, it's going to be like a fucking, a season of our lives that we're going to remember and have documented online. And so it's been a very,
Starting point is 00:06:50 very, very long time. And like I said, With IRL versus this, I feel like this environment, not only has an even, like an even plane, because I felt bad, but Grunk was on the wall and he was on this like really small 720 like monitor that we had to look over and like, you know, it was just like not the same ground. And that kind of like makes it a little bit uneven when it comes to like conversations and, you know, all that stuff. but um this i don't know this brings a good like open space i feel like with any of us to it's easier for guests it's easier for everyone feel just more comfortable in their own space it's easier for just like everything like the worst complication we have is someone's audio may not record right and so
Starting point is 00:07:37 we have like a fail safe track so no matter what it's like there's easier quality control i guess in this instance right and again it's like we were talking about i don't know if we said it before or after we started recording, but it's like back to our roots of where we were when we were starting a podcast. It feels like home. It feels just better. And we're still going to probably argue, but like at least we're arguing at our desks.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Oh, it's definitely going to happen in this episode too. There's already, I already know. There's already one locked them out. So I'll, uh, so they have three fridges and Isaac has two. What the fuck? I think, like, yeah, no, that is. We're going to get to that Isaiah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 No, we're not. Zia Matthews. No, we're not. With the fridges. We're gonna get to it. I've mided my own. I've been such a good guy. You have so many sauces in that damn fridge right now.
Starting point is 00:08:25 You're so fucking mad. Oh, see, he doesn't even, he's just, you're so mad. You should be grateful, Larry.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You should be grateful. Oh, yeah, you guys know me. I love sauces too. I love condiments. I love sauces. I love all that.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Absolutely. So there's been a big, big, big time gap in between. And a lot of people are confused about like, even like moving. Like who's living with what? Why is there a new house every fucking three days and things like that?
Starting point is 00:08:53 This podcast is going to explain basically all that year. It's going to at least try to answer all those questions. So this is the podcast to sort of be like, just watch this and listen to it while you're like, I don't know, showering, jerking off doing whatever. And this will be that podcast. And this one's not going to be a quick one either.
Starting point is 00:09:12 It's going to be a very long one. We're going to get into the end. A long stroke. Now I personally. I personally have a fuck ton to talk about. So I'll kind of go. I'll start with my shit towards the end. But I know a lot of you guys or some of you guys had some notes.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Because we kind of tried and figure out what we wanted to say for this behemoth of a podcast. So if any of you guys want to start or whatever it is. I think like for me, you know, it's one of those things where all the way back then, that's that time all the way back then, and we are now almost an entire year here. So, you know, as much as there could be a lot of filling in on like back then, I think it's just more appropriate to talk about everything that happened in between now, right, and kind of like move past and kind of like to catch people up to speed as well on what we were all doing in that time because we were doing a lot of stuff even in that time. I know like the podcast stopped and,
Starting point is 00:10:08 you know, Isaac last leave you see and like group videos, like they just kind of like, you know, tanked a little bit. But, you know, it wasn't like there was like, some still, we just became still water, right? We weren't stagnant. We were still moving. So, yeah, I think that my only real serious topic I wanted to talk about back then is just like the, the fact that we did try and like address that we were going to step away for a little bit and then we had all those complications.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And then. No, we did. We had a podcast episode. We had a podcast episode. And then yeah, I remember the day you were like, dude, like, fucked up again. And I remember saying like, when are we going to do another? And then like, we all just kind of like, like didn't talk about it. it again.
Starting point is 00:10:46 It was just kind of like whatever. It didn't get brought up again and then it just faded into obscurity. And then that was that. And then slowly we started collecting the fact that we're like, okay, we're actually located a hiatus right now, which we never really like had. We never had a point where we sat down and we're like, all right, let's take a break. We take a hiatus. It just happened and then subconsciously.
Starting point is 00:11:09 But shit, you know, is always happening. I have a burp coming up. That's how you like, God. That's how you know it was like needed, you know. Yeah. I think, you know what it is, dude? I think the podcast was like the group and everything else, like we was starting to move really quickly. And like things caught up really quick, if I'm being honest.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Like things picked up fast. You know what I'm saying? And like we're trying to do like the group stuff too. Dude, I mean, the group channel is, I mean, it was doing well. The group channel was doing well. But then I feel like we all started collectively feeling like we were doing videos and doing things that we, we're doing almost essentially algorithmically not like to create
Starting point is 00:11:49 not to like we were looking at like other group channels and we're like well I guess we can do kind of like what they're doing well I guess we can do this it's like and like that's just and that shit like I don't know about I don't know how other creators do it but that shit took a toll in my heart because this job the fact that we're able to like do literally like quite literally anything for a lot of people they take advantage of it's like you can do anything
Starting point is 00:12:12 which means you can do and post bullshit it and like, you know, get away with it and things like that. And it's, you know, people are cool with it because they'll eat it up. But I, you know, in my life, I'm like, I've always thought about it. And I was like, dude, I just want to take the opportunity to do the opposite and completely go down that road. So like when we were doing those thumbnails, when the fucking tanner with the piss yellow. Color theory. Color theory.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah. Trying to get like a fucking two-year-old's attention. It was like a heartbra. touch with like thumbnail artists and like going back and forward. It was kind of saddening. I was like, oh, right,
Starting point is 00:12:50 right. But that is like a chapter. And that is a not a obviously sign of for everything. I mean, we're not doing that. That's the business, I would say. It's like,
Starting point is 00:12:59 that's just like the business and we explored it. And like even on my own personal thing, like I explored like the whole, the different style of vlog that I ended up absolutely hating. Like I'm going to be honest. Okay. That's a good, uh,
Starting point is 00:13:12 topic. Or like general umbrella word is, exploration. And I think that the last few months of like kind of like radio silence was umbrella exploration. It was a lot of exploring different things. And like trying out shit. Experimenting a lot of shit. Yeah. Like just trying out shit and doing it while we were away from like having to post or having to, you know, keep up with the socials and things like that. which helps a lot. The group gaming channel.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Like I remember, so like Larry was the one who ripped me out of the mindset. Because for a long time, I was like, yo, Larry, like, you know, we're holding on to a lot of these group gaming videos, right? Like, we have some group gaming recordings from like January or February. Yeah, we do.
Starting point is 00:13:57 And it's like, well, that game is like going to not be wanted. Like, no one's going to want to watch that anymore. And Larry's like, yeah, but like, I don't want people to want to watch just for the game. I want them to watch for us and for the editing and like the humor of just whatever it is. They want,
Starting point is 00:14:10 I want them to enjoy. us for like whatever it is, not like the hype of like the fact that the game is out right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The game is popular. Right now I'm editing the peak video right after. Well, that was funny though. It is really funny. It is really funny.
Starting point is 00:14:22 And it's also pretty, pretty damn long. It's gonna be a long. Can we, can we leak the discogar, like, like what games we've played? You know, because we have a lot of them. We've, we have a ton of them. We have, uh, off the top of my head, uh, peak, there's schedule one. Schedule one, dude, we have so much schedule one, you guys.
Starting point is 00:14:44 That's a really long one. That's a really long one. Like three recordings, like three to four hours each. No, no, no, no, I'll let you know. So schedule one was recorded over the course of five days, five different days, and every recording is four hours long. Wow. And it goes, and it's like a series thing.
Starting point is 00:15:02 So. And that one, I actually, I had an idea which I'm not going to get too into because I want to see if it even is going to be a thing or like if it's going to work out the way I'm thinking about it. But I have an idea of making like a longer format version for that video over the course of like, you know, videos, things like that. I don't know. Just kind of like a like a, you know, like a TV show.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Episodic with, you know, a lot of cool details into it. That's been the most important thing with these videos. It has been detail. But I will say though that like as much as it's cool, like, experimenting or even trying to learn it and then while posting is low-key it's very humbling
Starting point is 00:15:43 because I look back at that first deductive video and the audio is so loud like the music's so loud and people were messaging me like are you deaf dude like that shit is so fucking loud and then I was like crap and then Chunky edited the second video and then the Stick Fight video I sent it to Isaac to like kind of review
Starting point is 00:16:02 and he's like these parts are loud as fuck So then I'm thinking, I'm like, dude, I need to get my ears checked because I feel like if I'm going to continue down this sound path, I need to make sure. Yeah, it's not, it's not your headphones. It's like your head because I know exactly what you're trying to do with a lot of these different sounds, a lot of these different songs. Inside you. For when, when I'm editing, there are times where I will throw on a sound effect and I want
Starting point is 00:16:29 it to be heard and I want people to be like, okay, yeah, that's there. I hear it. And I make it loud. like louder than I would typically do it because in the moment of hearing the same thing over and over and over again, your ears become almost used to that sound. And it gets to a point where you're raising up
Starting point is 00:16:44 a sound effect or something so loud that it's taking over the whole entire scene. It's just obnoxious. Right. No, I'm not saying you were obnoxious, but I've had times like that. It's like sometimes with editing, when you repeat certain things so many times
Starting point is 00:16:56 you become blind or deaf to it. Like you just don't realize it out of the context or like in the context of the viewer. I will say that In my Premiere Pro, I noticed that the levels of audio are different in the actual editing software to like YouTube. Like whatever I'm hearing, whatever I'm hearing. Also, also because of my GoXLR, my system audio is half of what it would normally sound like. So like I'm making, like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Like, I'm basically going off of a meter rather than I am going off of what I'm here. Actually. Because like, in your year. Yeah, I'm using like actual meters. YouTube will also. they bring the high, yes, they compress audio and they bring the highs down, yes, they do. Because I remember having the world's loudest sound effect in the
Starting point is 00:17:43 Oh my God, you had some loud moments, LeslieVC, dude. Holy shit. I dapped up crispy and I made it so insanely fucking loud that it would scare me when reviewing. Yeah, fuck you for that. That shit. You didn't even warn me about that, dude. Yeah, it was on purpose too. Like, I wanted to be loud, but YouTube just squeezed it down. So, That being said, hold on, how loud were those sound effects then? Really fucking loud.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Wait, wait, what sound effects? Yours. Oh, mine. Oh, probably, probably loud. I think the problem is that I turned down my volume on the computer so that like, and I sometimes read the, you know, the meter, but not all the time. Bro, that meter is my best friend, bro. And there's a thing I want to buy, but it's quite expensive.
Starting point is 00:18:33 and maybe that'll be coming. Once I make enough to buy it from the Groove Gaming channel, I'll get it, but it's like it's specifically for DaVinci, which is what I'm using now. And it has all the faders and the knobs. Larry showed me it, bro. Precise control.
Starting point is 00:18:49 It's insane. It's got like fucking these like lines that show up or down, like what the audio wave itself and like other crap. It's weird. It's great. It's awesome. It's great and awesome and weird. It's great.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Awesome. Weird. Yeah. So, all right. Well, look. Yo, I think we should. should kind of like talk about Tanner because Tanner, you know, went back home for a bit. And Tanner also did something crazy. I've never seen anyone do. He aged backwards. His,
Starting point is 00:19:14 he's now 21 years old. True. Somehow legally. A strapping young chap. I'm 21 right now. I'm 21. I can finally drink. We're having a good time right now. Yay. Absolutely. How's what I'm doing, dude? It's like you're a guest. No, it's like a stab. He's the first time talking to Tanner since. There was a lot. Yeah, there was a lot that.
Starting point is 00:19:42 We miss you too, buddy. Dude, we miss you so much, dude. I know. It was crazy. You have no idea of living with Isaac. It does all right. To you. I know, I understand it at all.
Starting point is 00:19:53 What the fuck? You guys know there's like this stigma going around that I'm like the worst person to live with ever? I was on TikTok yesterday. I'll clear it up. I'll clear it up. Isaac's a very generous person. and nice to live with and very easy to live with. I will say the refrigerator is the only thing.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Dude, you haven't even seen, you come over and go in the refrigerator to take and leave. I do not. And you complain about it on the first podcast back? I can't believe it. First of all, first of all,
Starting point is 00:20:19 I went to add to that refrigerator, and I couldn't add because there was so many damn sauces on the fucking right side. I just love sauce. I love it. I posted one of the fridges that we had on my Instagram. I was so funny It was like
Starting point is 00:20:35 A fuck ton of like It was like three Chocolate milk You know I think it was like Whole milk shit Yeah Cards sauces
Starting point is 00:20:44 Yeah A fuck ton of leftovers Oh my god There was like three leftover things of Chipotle Isaac I remember that There was like three bowls Of Chipotle leftovers
Starting point is 00:20:52 With the There's always a Chipole bowl in there That's what Dude you guys are always Coming at me For my Chipotle bowls and shit And you know what
Starting point is 00:20:58 I would eat it But I'd feel bad You wouldn't eat it Would you Does Chipoli leftovers even taste good? You would have eaten? No, it gets really hard. No, it turns into like pebbles. I've never heard someone eat Chipoli leftovers like a day or two later.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I've eaten Chipotle leftovers once. So what I do... Wait, do you get like lettuce in it and shit, Isaac? No, no, no, no, it's only rice. It puts guacamole and like guacamole does brown. That is, yeah, I do have some brown guac on occasion, but... And you microwave that? I ordered two, um, and I open them both.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And if one's, like, lacking, then I'll use the other one and help it out. But if it's not lacking that, I just pack it up, put it in the fridge. You order two Chippole labels? Yeah. I do. You know, it's the grind set that counts. On God. He's on his grind set.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I have an insatiable feast for me. I hate Chipotle, dude. Insatiable grind. It's not even enjoyable to eat anymore. Dude, I accidentally, I went to Chipotle and accidentally got two proteins, and then it was a $20 bowl, and it's like, okay. Oh, cool. Oh, great. That's great.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Yeah. That's exactly what happened. Accidentally. Well, yeah, because I wasn't sure. And I also got Koso. So I was like, um, 30. Because he put a coupon and I was like, damn, I look, he want more. Can I get some more?
Starting point is 00:22:18 And then they're like, yeah. It's like all the dollars running from your wallet when you do that. Yeah. Because they fucking, yeah, they gave you a little amount and you want a little bit more, right? It's like, just shoot me there. I don't know. Yeah. Shoot me there.
Starting point is 00:22:31 They just kill me now. They always never any chicken, there's like always like never any chicken. They like put it in the surroundings. They fucking injected like pebbles. There's always never. So I always get double chicken. I get double chicken because of the protein, but. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Well, that's too. I mean, honestly, I didn't, I didn't really think about it. It's just for me, Chipotle is such an easy meal to eat and I can eat it a lot. Yeah. Which is not great because then because then you come to reliance. You don't eat it a lot. You eat it excessively. You eat it too much to the point.
Starting point is 00:22:59 You were on a streak. You had a Snapchat street. with Chipotle, brother. I know. It was really bad. I was like, because like, okay,
Starting point is 00:23:06 dude, when I was like, when I was like, when I was like, um, editing, I was just like, I only wanted to focus on that shit
Starting point is 00:23:11 because I was extremely hyper fixated on it. I'll get to it later more in the detail, but I was, it was just, yeah. That's pretty much it. It's like, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:23:21 My body feels like crap. I'm gonna eat something. I don't care what it is. And then I eat it. Grunk picked up a new thing. Dude, this whole eyebrow raising thing. I picked up on that,
Starting point is 00:23:31 that one. One side, dude. He said something, he said something, he's like, I just can't lift my other side alone at all. No, like, I can't either. I'm nerfed to one.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Interesting. Can anyone? I'm doing it. I don't know if anyone could tell. Like, I can't. I can't. I can't do it. The beautiful mountains.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Scene switch. I have to do it like this. No. Oh, yeah. Also, audio listeners. Isaac has natural, national geographical, television on his
Starting point is 00:24:01 He's got turtles right there Wait, okay Tanner was like talk Like yeah Tanner was to go back to that I was thinking about Chipotle bowls Tanner I was about Washington
Starting point is 00:24:12 What was what was going on? Oh shoot Washington Where did you go? Where didn't I go? Where didn't I go? I pretty much stayed in my mom's house
Starting point is 00:24:23 and just worked out the entire time I was there I'll be 100% real I was just like getting my mind right I was working out because I completely stopped working out here. Like I literally didn't work. I didn't work out for like four months when I was here.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And then that kind of like made me super sad. And I was like, I used to work out like just so much. Hey, I used to work. What happened? Where'd I go wrong? I was at the low of the middle.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I realized I started getting like weaker and I was like, oh God, I feel like crap right now. My sleep started being terrible. I started like gaining some weight. And I was like, dude, I look horrible.
Starting point is 00:24:56 What's going on? And that made me not want to go on stream because I was like, dude, they're going to see me. It was a domino effect. It was a domino effects. Yeah. And then I was just like, it just, I just got like really like anxious about streaming and stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah. Right. And then at this time, I was on Zoloft. Mm. Zoloft is good. I was a Zoloft zombie. Oh. What is like that?
Starting point is 00:25:19 Okay. So I don't know anything about like medications, shit like that. I just, I hear it all the time, though. I don't know what. It's like, it's an antidepressant. It is. And, but.
Starting point is 00:25:29 But for me, I feel like my problems was ADHD. Okay. So I was taking, like, it could be a possibility. I was taking the wrong medication for, like, the wrong symptoms I was having. It's like, you're trying to get high and you don't know anything about drugs, so you take LSD instead of weed. Yeah, pretty much. I was like, oh, that's not the one I want. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I feel really weird. I'm like this one. But, like, you can mistake. You can mistake. Damn, is that how you say a mistake? You can mistake. Yeah, you can mistake. You can mistake.
Starting point is 00:25:57 You can mistake. You can mistake depression with ADHD because the things are just like they're intertwined. The symptoms are like they cross. Yeah, they're pretty much in log. It's just a whole thing. So, yeah. So I was like, oh. That with like homesickness, right?
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah, I was really homesick. Like I wasn't, I wasn't talking to my family a lot because I was just like in my own little hole in my That's like a really common thing I know about creators here in Austin. I've heard like a lot of them just get like homesick. They just want to go back home for a bit. like it almost feels like we're out here like there I'm not going to say that
Starting point is 00:26:29 that was really cringe I was about to say it was almost like I don't want to say I don't want to say I was going to say I was going to say I was going to say I was going to say it's almost like we're going away for like college I'm here to be concrete that's true that's true it just sounds lame it's the same kind of age range it is yeah it's you you move out you go somewhere you don't know
Starting point is 00:26:51 with a bunch of people you could know yep And you go home every once in a while. I didn't know any of you guys before moved. Maybe. Well, to be honest, I guess a lot of the hat draw. I will say one thing, Tanner, too, that I noticed in, and I, I don't think it helped at all. Your older room had all black curtains.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Like, it was just blocking out. No, it looked like a dungeon. Any bit of sunlight. It reminded me of my cousins who had, like, Scarface and, like, the Joker posters and, like, PlayStation and, like, would always watch anime. because his room was all blacked out. It would be daylight, like Texas, 103 degrees out, sun is blaring.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You go in his room, it's like nighttime. It's all dark, 60s. And I'm like, dude, I'm like, this is... And I had to keep those curtains up because my camera was like terrible. It was like a Logitech camera. It would just make everything horrible. Yeah, wait, do a trick with a new one.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Look at this, guys. Look how beautiful I am. It's gorgeous. Oh, wow. You could see every follow. Wow. Your lips are so voluptuous. Are you...
Starting point is 00:27:56 Surely those are... Is that how they always look old? Oh my God. This is how they always look, dude. Boy or boy. Like an awkward. Yeah, nothing changed about them, guys. Nick, do it.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I'm familiar with those. What? Do the thing. The boy going cross on. He's going across. Do the lip thing. Boo. Ew.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Wow. You have very dark lips for your complexion. Yeah, they're like really pink it sometimes. But they all. Also, since they're so big, they get chapped really easily. I'm pretty... I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Poor guy. So, like, yeah, every time I go live... I hate when my lips get chapped up above the lip. Yeah. Like, not on the lip. Just throw it out. Oh, like on my edges. Chop them off.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Chop them off. Like, up above, yeah. Like the ring. The ring. Yeah. Uh-uh. I had the ring once. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:28:45 It's the red ring, dude. It is so bad. I forget. Like, I forget. Like, I forget. I think it's just licking them. like a... I think it's cold.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Cold, um, cold weather does it too. That's so bad. Sometimes I'll be like, like doing nothing and like I got to do shit with my hands. So I'll be like and then I pick and then I find I find a little, a little vent opening and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:29:07 oh. And I just dig my hand in there and I like, and I'm like, I'm bleeding everywhere. And I'm like, oh. And I'm holding the dead skin. Like I'm like leather face.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I just rip someone's face off. I'm like, oh. I'm holding my. puddle blood. I'm like, oh, shit. And then I have a big pink part sticking out. Like, if it's like brain matter, stick it out of a fucking school. Oh, God. You're such a way with words, classic. Classic. You're such a way with classic scenario. Loud environment. I just got a loud environment fucking warning on my Apple Watch. You're being telling us. Do you many decibels?
Starting point is 00:29:43 Did it tell you how many decibels? Uh, sound level hit 90 decibels. My God. I'm really loud. When you go live, no, don't say it. It's like your doors might as well be wide open.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Like everybody in every room can hear you. What's even, what the hell? Your camera's upside down? Probably not going to pee, but it's backwards and I don't know if anyone could read that. I can read it.
Starting point is 00:30:12 That fish came out of nowhere. Did you see it? The reason, go back. Sorry. Oh, she's saying. Oh. Well, the reason, look, being out here, I remember when we first moved to Austin, I was like, oh, my God, I can finally yell it in the middle of the night in like no consequences.
Starting point is 00:30:29 However, there are indeed consequences. And if it's not your neighbors calling the cops on you for being or domestic violence or whatever, then it's going to be being too loud and your roommates are trying to sleep. Yep. I learned that lesson. Which I apologize. I learned that lesson. No, it's awesome. thought that I was dying or some shit. Yeah, that's what I was referring to
Starting point is 00:30:53 and you had your attack on Titan shirt. That's a classic time, dude. But when you were streaming Battlefield 6, Larry, you were like, you were like doing that kind of scream. And there was somebody on the phone and then they're like,
Starting point is 00:31:08 dude, is somebody like dying in your house? Like they could hear every shit. It's so fun. Guys, I've been looking at this one property. and it's a lot of land and it's like it's like
Starting point is 00:31:22 it's a lot of acres it's a lot of acres and it costs a lot of money and I'm thinking about buying it so that I can be absolutely remote and I can be as loud as I want and can at any time at any moment and it's literally got one it's got one house
Starting point is 00:31:36 and it's got just a bunch of fucking land so bad I want a ranch in Austin so bad like I just want to be here in Austin just have a ranch that house is one point Oh, it's, yeah, it's, uh, oh, actually, it's $1.2. It's like $1 trillion.
Starting point is 00:31:54 $1.2. It's a little, a little in the million, maybe. And, uh, do I have that money? No. Am I going to get that money, though? Ah, maybe. We'll see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Larry, I can give you a $10 bill right now and you can invest it any way you want. Oh, thank you. I'll help you out like that. Yeah. Do that. I'll do that. I'll do that. Let me just get $10 really quick.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Can we do that? Can we pivot? Can we make a pivot real fast? A pivot. What's a pivot? Yeah, a pivot to turn. Like that.
Starting point is 00:32:21 We're going this way. Can we pivot? There's like a money thing. I thought pivot. It's this way, bro. Pivot is where you're like, personally,
Starting point is 00:32:31 that's too much. That's a pivot. When I think a pivot, I'm thinking of that thing you hold on to while I'm on the tunnel. Oh, the pivot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Yeah. Well, I was going to say, can we pivot to last leave you C. I thought we were going to save that. A little bit, a little bit, a little bit,
Starting point is 00:32:45 because we were going to save it for a whole other thing. Oh, well, can we pivot to why, is Isaac going to just talk about all last leave you see? Like, why it took him so long, everything? Yeah. I mean, I could. I thought we're doing a whole other podcast with,
Starting point is 00:33:02 we can move on. We can move on. Oh, the whole other podcast, just to clarify, like, what's being talked about. Like, we haven't, I don't even think, we haven't reached out yet, but at the time of, like, right now when we're recording this, the plan is, uh,
Starting point is 00:33:17 we're going to get all of those boys back into a V-C and just talk about it all because it was a lot. It was a big-weeks podcast. It's a big, big thing, even though it happened like nine months ago. I don't even remember what happened. Yeah. But it's not because it was so long ago. It's because I was so sleep deprived.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And the only real things I remember is grunk, just driving back and forth and me getting pissed at grunk. I thought it was a funniest thing ever. I was horrible. I don't apologize. I was really horrible. He was awesome. I thought it was sweet. Thanks, Taylor.
Starting point is 00:33:47 I appreciate that. It reminded me of having like a classmate that's like really funny. It's making me laughing class. I liked when you had to back up in the car and you're like, okay. Yeah. I enjoyed the car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:00 No, actually though, I feel like Isaac, you should talk a little bit about your progress or your, sorry, not progress, process of editing last leave because that was also around the time, which answers a big question. That was around of the time when we moved. because we recorded last Lee, we see. And then shortly after we started house hunting, which, holy God, it was just me and Isaac, dude. And bro, like, I can imagine it, right? I picture it.
Starting point is 00:34:31 They're looking at the flyer or they're looking at the application. It's like, hmm, two young guys. 21 and 24. Should I? Should I? This house has, you know, X amount of, why do they need all this space? Why do they need all this and all of that? Two dudes went looking for a house that had four to five rooms.
Starting point is 00:34:51 It's just not typical in any housing market. Like, okay, well. I mean, I don't think that that plays into why. I mean, does that play into why they're able to fairly reject you or not? One of them responded to us and was like, we want to rent out to a family. Yeah. And worse decision ever, by the way.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Such a cop out, bro. They were like, no, why didn't you guys say that you were, you were a family, you were starting a family. Oh. Oh, am I going to put my kid on the house to the least? Dude, they'll break everything. Yeah, they're going to scribble on your walls, homeboy. Yep. Sure.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Everywhere's your family, bro. Rip up wires. That was the, um, sorry, our ice cream machine is broke. Yeah. Version of saying, fuck off. It's just, it felt like, yeah. It just felt like a backhand. It was humbling.
Starting point is 00:35:42 I will say that. A whole experience of how. house. I think it was like, you look through so many fucking houses and it was a humbling, humbling experience. But it was also, it's funny because like every house in Texas kind of low-key is built the same way and like everything just felt the same. So there was really no difference. But yeah, there was. Yeah. That took a minute. And during while that was happening, you were still editing lastly VC. Yeah. I still haven't fully moved in. I really should. That's probably. Do you just have boxes everywhere
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah, I have all of my clothes Are sitting in a bunch of yours You have the same thing in the last house though Last house same shit Yeah, well that was because it was going to be more of a Actually I don't really know I don't know why I didn't ever I don't think I could fit a bed frame in my room
Starting point is 00:36:30 That was why Because I knew if I made it On the floor I wouldn't do a bed frame Yeah no My mattress is still on my floor You don't really need one Can I talk about every time I go over to you guys's house
Starting point is 00:36:41 I go to Larry or I see Larry hang out with Larry for a little bit and I'm like where's Tanner? And then Larry's like oh he's up in his room so then I go to Isaac and I'm like
Starting point is 00:36:52 what's up Isaac and Tanner's sitting right there that's like that's like the morning meeting we have a Pokemon Go of what we're gonna trade before I go work out. That is exactly what happens yeah every morning that's what happens every single
Starting point is 00:37:05 for three minutes stops. Dude there is a Pokemon Go fucking pandemic happening in this household and I have no idea what anything of it means at all because I have been the closest Poked stop is like 20 minutes away, dude. They have to go on a 20 minute walk just to get to the closest Poked stop.
Starting point is 00:37:20 It's crazy. Okay, well, full reset. Yeah. Anyways, Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go is a game that comes in waves, whether I want to play or not over the course of like, it's like for three or four months, I'll be like, whoa, ho, ho, and it'll go away. It'll come back later. Are you still on your clash shit? Are you still on your class shit?
Starting point is 00:37:43 No. No, not even close. You let the clan die? I'm going to come back and revive that clan. Don't worry. Like, I'm going to wave. It's waves. It's waves.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Let me know when you do. Some crazy shit's going to happen. I'm going to hop back on. That's going to be it. But, yeah. I mean, just going back to everything that unfolded in December. And then for seven months post, there was so much shit that is revolving or was revolving around last Lavec.
Starting point is 00:38:13 it was hell, bro. It was dead-ass hell. Well, I remember a lot of it, and I recorded some of it, which we unfortunately could not recover. Some of the footage got, like, fucked up, I guess. I don't know. I never found some of the footage that we had because I was recording you, and I did updates of your process during last Lively VC. And, but I remember some of it. And one of them was, so the way, I'm going to bring it back to when we recorded the family feud. because that was like the start of your stacking of problems that happened in a very short amount of time because we had that video that was recorded but then right after lastly we was recorded last leave we see was recorded we recorded the first group gaming video which i requested everyone to make their obs 60 frames per second and that fucked you up because you're recorded lastly vc in 60 frames per second instead of 30 which is what you normally did you which fucked you up. And I remember that happened. And then your computer was like struggling really fucking bad for a very long.
Starting point is 00:39:20 It was like a month or two of you were like, I'm trying to go through this fucking computer. And then you had to like pull up some fucking weird ass program that was searching for something to make something this and that. And I don't even know what the fuck. Like you weren't, you didn't even start editing until like a few weeks after the recording because you just had to fix. The recording itself. So yes, yes and no. Honestly, we can, we'll just, we'll get into it. So family food comes around November 7th.
Starting point is 00:39:51 We recorded it. And I shared my screen recording in 60 frames per second. And also at 2560, 1440, which is 4K, twice. So I'm recording the family feud board and the Discord thing. And my computer did not like that. And all of the footage went poo-poo. And we found out afterwards, which really fucking sucked. But anyways, fast forward.
Starting point is 00:40:12 One of the only golden opportunities to record Family Feud was two days before last Lavey was going on. Tanner was already in the house. Like Tanner was there. So I was like, okay, how do I make this work? Yeah. So I had him and Larry kind of like dual wheeled. And for those who saw like that really hard ass gif of them holding up that ex, it's from Family Food because they were right next to each other. That shit was hard, by the way.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I'm not going to lie. I saw that. I was like, how do we even do that? I don't know. You didn't address it at all. Yep. You guys didn't even talk about it once. I don't even know if you noticed.
Starting point is 00:40:45 There's a gravitation and pull between us and we just died. That's what twin-in-them. That's the definition of twin-endom right there. Yes, that's my brother right there. You guys see him. That's my brother-in-em. That's my family. I believe so, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:56 So these two, yeah, those guys did that. And then I recorded it for family food in like two days before last LaveC. Last Lavee C comes. Everyone's here. We're doing it all. We record it. It goes well. Some things didn't get to go.
Starting point is 00:41:09 like some people were asking me about the Marriachi band that was dead ass going to be a thing and that was dead ass the price they gave me like 400 bucks for 15 minutes or something I think it's pretty normal actually I don't really know I don't really know the prices but bands are pretty damn expensive 15 minutes bro like but you are paying
Starting point is 00:41:25 for like them to come out yeah big band I mean that's like five songs I would do like that's an EP I would do like 250 you got a whole live you got a whole live concert in front of you man yeah yeah I think everyone would
Starting point is 00:41:39 also have really not been in the mood to listen to some marriachi music. Dude, I don't know. I would have loved you. I would have fucked out. It would have been way better than pink, pink, loop, loop, loop. There's so, man. Beef number one, go. I'm not doing it right now. If we're saving it for another podcast, that's fine with me.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Okay. I'll wait. Yeah. We'll go over those bits. But the torturous process and the reason why liar was talking about program this, that's add to another thing and I can get to touch it until whenever. I didn't even find out that the recording was in 60 frames per second until I was on my second timeline. Damn near done, cutting everything up.
Starting point is 00:42:15 What's the beef with 60 FPS and you guys? Aside from bigger files, what's the beef here? All of my stuff is the 60 FPS. There's one more frame. I know, but you can downsize it. There's not one more frame. There's 30 more frames. In the second.
Starting point is 00:42:32 True. Per second, too. In the second. The reason why I don't like 60 FPS, and I'll get into that now, because I'm also now dealing with it. Again, Family Feudor was recorded in 60 FPS, the good one too. I had to remake every single preset I've ever made because there are two times as many frames and editing software's use frames as a unit of measure.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Of measure. In your editing software in the sequence, you're able to choose what you want it to be. So, like, you don't have to match the format. You can have the timeline B30. Yes, but that can cause some problems. And I'll get into those 30 FPS to 60 FPS problems. I converted every single file I recorded from Lasel of you see into 30 FPS in... I think that's like the better of the two options because like if you wanted to go to 60, you're fucked.
Starting point is 00:43:22 You know what I mean? Yeah, you think, you think. No, no, because Isaac's, for this peak video, one of Isaac's footage or his footage, one of them, is in 30. and I have a 60 timeline, but it's fine. It's not that bad. But it's fine. It's pretty fine. It's pretty fine.
Starting point is 00:43:41 It's more of the story. Who cares? Moral of the story was, we're working on them. It fucked everything up because I made cuts and I had emotes and everything like somewhat placed for like the first 25 minutes. And I went to go convert because my Vegas would crash all the fucking time. I hate that shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I hate that shit. God, God, God, God, God. God, God. a service and the server is going to crash all the time. I hope Adobe Premiere and all the does burns. I hope. So I converted it into 30. I converted into 30 and I did something called replace media in Vegas. And what that does is it takes whatever I cut up and it replaces that file with a new file. Only thing that didn't occur to me was the fact that because I did that and I already progressed past a save point, I locked in all of the audio that came from that conversion.
Starting point is 00:44:32 as well, which was now bumped three frames forward. So my sentences were starting late and getting cut off early. It's horrible. The entire video was like that. That's horrible. And I genuinely wanted to die. I wanted to explode. That was the worst.
Starting point is 00:44:50 But eventually I learned about something. We're not a really bad streak of technical issues, huh? What's up with that? Dude, I feel like internet, the internet? Yep. What's it called? The thing is degrading. It's bad.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Technology is getting worse and worse. and worse and nobody's really paying attention. It's getting worse and worse and worse and you're paying more and more and more. Yeah and bro, like, for example, this Battlefield beta, how you have to go into your bios, your software of your computer. You guys talk about the room. You have to go into the software of your
Starting point is 00:45:16 computer and change some base shit that's deep within. I was just to play the game. Did you go to your bios? I didn't do it because it needed me to get a product key to like change my bios and it's like, what the hell are we doing anymore? Dude, it was the same shit with me, bro. I felt like Squidward watching
Starting point is 00:45:32 fucking Larry run around and have fun outside, bro. And what else? Just like, there's just small things. If you pay attention, there's small little bugs and glitches and things that used to work all the time. And now they just don't work anymore. It's like, okay, I'm going to just step away from all this. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And Key and Peele fired his whole team for not bidding the winning thing. Exactly. That happened to. What? Who knows what he's talking about. You don't know about that? No. I was just, you're just.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Hold on, his mood switch. What did she and Peel do? I love how your monitors all the way up there. Oh, yeah. You're like Dr. Lupo looking at Twitch notice. Thank you. Thanks. Jordan, Jordan Peel, yeah, he fired his team for not getting the bid on weapons.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Oh, what? What? He tried, he tried bidding to one. win for, you know, to be able to make the movie? Yeah. And they never bid? They fucking it. They didn't fight for it. They didn't fight for it and he fired them all because he was hell of piss. And guess what? That movie's 95 golden tomatoes. Listen, weapons was really great. Open 70 million dollars worldwide. It's a really, really good movie. People really like it. But I'm going to be real. I think Jordan Peel behind that wheel would have been nuts.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Dude. I don't know. And they all think so. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like what did they have right now is like, you really can't do better. I want to see this movie now. You just sold me. This was the best advertising. You could have sold me on. You're welcome. Weapons is very, very good. Did you know weapons was like a bid? Like for an adaptation of a movie and Jordan Peel was responsible. He was supposed to. And the team. And the team didn't bid on it. That's crazy. I know that shit at all. I'll read this right here. So it basically says that the script was really good. So he wanted to be the producer slash executive producer for the movie movie. The reason everyone talks about this so much is because it was indicative that weapons would be a very good movie. The reason Pia was mad is likely because he knew this movie was going to do really well financially based off the script. And he would have gotten, okay, so he would got, okay. A lot of people here misunderstanding is that they weren't bidding for the rights to the script. They were bidding to the rights to produce the movie.
Starting point is 00:47:50 And he got, yeah. So I think either way, it would have done really fucking well. Yeah, I do. This script was crazy. Jordan Peele's, like, glow up into movie production is, like, super admirable, We're about to see another one. It's like Joe from YouTube to music. Yeah, he's doing a football one.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Like a football arena game. He is? Or a movie. Yeah. Joe. No, no, no. Jordan Peel. Oh, sorry. Where did Joji come in?
Starting point is 00:48:15 I said, I said, I said, Joji. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah. We're about to see Larry, bro. Larry, that's what Larry wants to do. We want to see a movie named Larry. Yeah. I'll make an audio, audio, autobiography of myself.
Starting point is 00:48:28 No, that is true. That is like, speaking, about like the progression of where I've been at and then where I've gone to what the hell was that? Sorry, audio listeners, there's a ghost on Isaac screen that popped up. That was really weird.
Starting point is 00:48:43 That was that. That got me. It felt very provocative. It felt very provocative. Go back. I want to see the ghost. That was a was that five seconds or ten seconds? Because it might be a ten second. No way. Dude, we're like dogs and like
Starting point is 00:48:59 we just saw a bird on the window and now we're like Staring at the window. Okay, where is it though? Where? Who wasn't actually a haunted? No, it was like a fucking hand that popped up. It was like three to two. Three fucking time.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Three times. We went back three times. What is the problem? Yeah. Sorry, there's a ghost that pops up. It was a ghost that pops up. It feels very sexual.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Three, two, one, now. He was just pausing it. Oh, he was blowing the, he was blowing the water. I can't believe that. I'm sorry, guys. You did that transition so bad,
Starting point is 00:49:26 though, I will not lie. That was, that fate was horrible. Here's some greens. Thank you. There you go. Perfect. So sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:49:32 So I totally sidetracked us with the whole key and peel thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's good. What was the track before? The track before I was talking about technology and then I don't even know why he brought that at all. Oh, well, we were talking about how technology's been dog shit. And I don't even know why the fuck he did that.
Starting point is 00:49:49 No clue. I'm praying. I don't know what the segue. Well, the segue. I don't remember. But all I do know was I hate, I hate Premiere Pro. And I'm, I'm praying that Adobe. all of Adobe goes under.
Starting point is 00:50:02 I hate, I hope. That's what he was saying. I literally hope that all of Adobe crashes and burns and they lose everything. Like I genuinely do because like, not only, honest to God, if that happens and then affinity goes up.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Yeah, dude. I hope Skynet goes live. I'll say that right now. Skynet. See, I do know, though, one thing about games, like games right now are so bad because they're just trying to like quickly churn out a profit, right?
Starting point is 00:50:26 So they're making games that are half-fast. That mindset on any field, No matter of it's games, if it's music, if it's YouTube, if it's any products like food, things like that, always, it's a, it's a short term model. That's why rock stars on top, baby, rock stars on top. Now I'm wondering. I'm just thinking. What's up to you? I got to go pee now.
Starting point is 00:50:48 If we're all doing, Michael. Yeah, you go ahead. Go on your name, man. Tackle this. Bring the Scotson in. Bring the Scotson in. Do you think that all of this criticism towards the new age of games and movies and shit is just because we're at an age. where we can conceptualize everything a little bit better than if we're 15?
Starting point is 00:51:05 Like that is shaking? Wait, yeah, like you need to repeat. I kind of need you to say that. I was looking at the rocks. Do you think our age is playing into why we're so critical of things like the technology and because I'm not going to lie. I feel like it went like this, Isaac. And then once we got to the age,
Starting point is 00:51:25 we're like we were watching all the technology go and go and go. And now it started to plateau and then it starts to like dip. tank. You know what I'm saying? We watched, we grew with technology growing and being amazing. Well, I feel like it's a balance. Now it's all Bitcoin, dude. The balance is old. You sound old.
Starting point is 00:51:40 But now it's just all AI. The balance is, hold on. There was a rock. Hold on. Are you a defender of AI, Isaac? Did you actually edit? It's just the monkey in the lion. Monkey in the line.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Yeah. And in the big smile. We are. We're older. We're old. You know, I can't imagine if a new... If a new phone came out, I don't know if a lot of us would buy it just because we're so accustomed to the iPhone and things like that. And we're sitting here and saying, oh, it's all fucking chat GPTAI and Bitcoin and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Like our parents weren't saying that about the iPhone when they dropped. Bitcoin was around when we were like 12, right? Or 10 or whatever. But either way, it was still around. It's just old stuff still. It's like nothing really took over Bitcoin. It was a pre-existing technology, right? So like, I'm just saying the technology has only gotten from what I think worse unless, like, for example, like in video, like with their graphics cards, bro.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Like, why are they? Yeah. Oh, my God. Where do they go? Oh, my God. That's such a fun. Great first podcast back, bro. go ahead
Starting point is 00:53:01 oh i was just saying that like remember in video i was having like the issues where they were like withholding back the full potential of the graphics cards because they wanted to unlock them for like other graphics cards like that's just so stupid slowly yeah they're tearing it they're like it was like paywalling it in a sense i feel like that only kind of works in like not things that are supposed to advances but like say with music for example right
Starting point is 00:53:24 uh like the beetles did a slow transition into psychedelic instead of you know they went from like their I love you you love me we love each other la la la to then like I'm really high right now I'm so high right now but they did it gradually and they knew that they had to do
Starting point is 00:53:42 it gradually but technology I mean that just must be like I don't know it's the holding back so that they can have a I don't know it all seems very profit to me it all that seems very profit driven of me I'm profit out of money I mean and then what are they
Starting point is 00:53:58 the money for. Cocaine and Hookers. Like, what? Like, that's all it's worth. That's all it's for. Dude.
Starting point is 00:54:05 But my point was, my point was flipping, like, things are just getting slower. Like, and maybe that's just more data is being applied to one thing that can't hold
Starting point is 00:54:18 all the data so it's starting to bug out. But like, say, for example, my iPhone now, whenever I type in, in notes, or just type in general,
Starting point is 00:54:28 typing anything, blah, blah, blah, whenever I, like, double tap it to, of course, it works when I show you, but, like, whenever I double tap to, like, select all of it, to select all of it, it, like, pauses for five seconds before it does that, and I can't do anything. Which phone do you have? That's because you have a five-ass, bro. That makes sense. Freakin one. You got to buy the newest, newest newest you guys.
Starting point is 00:54:51 It's just like, oh, my God. And, like, my car, for example, um, the, you know, the newest, it's just, you got to buy the newest. Bluetooth just stopped working really like I could still connect my phone but I then I can't skip with the buttons I have to skip on my actual phone quality of things genuinely got worse like the quality of things 100% did by a they don't make them like they used to right don't see if that does play into your take about us getting older because we have more that better quality to compare it to the shittier quality but you can't deny it is shittier quality
Starting point is 00:55:22 and full of chemicals there are a lot of chemicals there are a lot of chemicals negative and positive things have come from like the past 10 years in terms of like tech, but I mean, it's the circle. It's the circle of life is like you're young and impressionable and you're witnessing everything and it's really fucking cool at first. And you get accustomed to it and it gets normal.
Starting point is 00:55:44 And then something else comes and you're like, what the fuck? I think we're due. I think we're due for a renaissance. I think we're not for another creative. I think it's actually going to happen now. I do think it was like, yes.
Starting point is 00:55:56 I think GTA6 is going to be the, The incursion of the new renaissance. The cusp. It's going to be Martin Luther. Martin, tell me about that. GTA is going to be Martin Luther. He did something with the church. He had a dream.
Starting point is 00:56:11 That's what he said. He had. No, wrong Martin Luther. That's MLK. Wait, there's more than one Martin Luther? Yeah. German priest, theologist. Luther was a seminal figure of the Protestant
Starting point is 00:56:23 Reformation. Oh, that's why he was junior. Yeah. In the basis of Lutherism. Luther. Oh, Lutheranism. Oh, my God, Lutheran. Lutheran is the hardest name you can have.
Starting point is 00:56:33 He helped birth the Reformation. I don't even know what Lutheran is. No, you know what's a hard-ass name? Wolfgang. That's a real name. Wolfgang is a fire-ass-gang. It's like a German name, I think. It is a German name.
Starting point is 00:56:46 It is a German name. For ID, that's so hard. Wolfgang. What was this podcast about? It was about our return. It was a fucking everything podcast. I was going to bring up the whole editing thing. my the progression uh because the me taking on editing and like kind of staying like not staying away
Starting point is 00:57:05 but like sort of uh shifting focus from streaming to editing was like a very kind of it happened in the spur of the moment for me at least the way I envision or like the way I remember it because it started with I remember when we did the lean drop this was like two years ago now okay so we're kind of going really back on the timeline here October 23rd and that was around the time when we got the call of like doing it during the weekend and it was like Thursday I think and so we had like two days to edit like the vlog the music video. We didn't even finish the song by that point. By the way, we were in Vegas and we hadn't even finished the song.
Starting point is 00:57:43 We still had like lyrics or something to do. I forget what it was for the lean. I think it's what it was. And like there was just so much shit. And I remember that editing like just trying to fucking finish. it so that we get it on the drop so that like the website goes live and then the videos go live at the same time and everything like that and then shortly after that I started kind of like tackling on this project which let me pull out whoa I have this notebook here it's called it's called the editing era called the death note and this notebook I use to basically learn everything I kind of know now about cameras and like how they work and like the internals and everything like that because we
Starting point is 00:58:31 already had cameras but I don't think any of us knew how to actually use them so I took the time because I had an idea for the group channel which ended up being the food challenge video that was originally supposed to be a Thanksgiving special but it took me four months to finish that video so it dropped in February and it ended up just being like a food thing but I have here a mapped out of the dining room. And then the lighting and the equipment, I have the pricing of all the equipment we bought for it and how much it
Starting point is 00:59:04 costed. I had fucking all the equipment we needed, how everything we have works. Like the sea stand and everything like that. Like how does the sea stand work? You're going to start the new Renaissance, Larry. I think that's going to be you. Dude, it was like so much fun going through this though. It's like how to
Starting point is 00:59:20 how to expose, how to meter, how to like make sure, like what are the settings? What are the formats? Dude, and then I got, this is like the worst of it all and this is so unnecessary. I was concerned that the files were too big. So I noted down like all of the time, like how long each footage was and how much space I needed. And then I added them all. And it was, I needed to free up 673 gigabytes, almost a terabyte for that video.
Starting point is 00:59:47 And then, and then I was like, I noted down like, what do we need to buy for the next video? Because I had another idea. And then like the shots, what shots do we? What shots do we take and like how do I do it? What's going to be the process? How to use Da Vinci like media like the cut, the edit fusion. So when was this? This was back in 20, 23 December.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Right. So you were basically taking all that knowledge that you were learning slowly even while we were making videos. And then when we ended up going on like some sort of, you know, I don't want to say the term is hiatus, but we just went into hibernation for a little bit. you were taking those and you were like building on them like you had a foundation and then you started doing what happened was that that towards the end of 20203 was a big period for me because that was when I got the MacBook which ended up now is it's still my my editing like hub my editing
Starting point is 01:00:42 I mean that whole section behind me right there is all based around the MacBook that I bought back then and that thing I maxed that shit out and then I bought it and I was like the best purchase of my life. And that ended up spurring into me editing for, I think I did your ad. That was the first time I used to venture was your ad for the hoodie. I edited that. And then after that, I did the Thanksgiving video and I learned a lot from that. And then around the time when I was editing the Thanksgiving video or the Food Challenge video, I started editing the podcast as well. So I was doing like the weekly podcast. I was working on this.
Starting point is 01:01:23 And then that started like spiraling into then like when we started doing the group channel like the Iro shit. I was helping with like the since I already taught myself how the cameras worked and how to like format everything. I was setting up the cameras to prop like I was doing all that preparation. I was sending him out. I was helping the editors with like whatever they needed and like things like that. So 2024 for me was really just a bit because that was around that was also like. me slowly getting away from streaming and more into just like music. Like that's when I bought my all my, all my keyboards and shit like that.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Question. Yes. I know we've talked about it before, but I don't know if it's like, I don't know if I like have the true answer to it. Were you just like not enjoying it anymore? Did you like creative passion for streaming kind of like did it shift and you want to do something else? No, I wanted to like, because I've always wanted to do really big streams and I don't know how to. like setting up multiple cameras setting up like I had to like you know do it
Starting point is 01:02:23 and like the whole production. When we first moved to Austin I had this big camping video in our media room that I wanted to do and it was requiring like different camera angles. It was requiring like suits that we were going to wear and like all these things camping gear that we're going to have in the house.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Tanner was going to be big foot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wanted to be big foot so bad. Yeah. And like a fake fire in the middle that was going to be like it was going to be had.
Starting point is 01:02:45 It was like a red and orange LED that had a, it was like a red and orange LED. and you had this like fan blowing this like fake fire in the middle because it was like all the house and like all these things. And so I always had it in my mind that I wanted to do like big, big streams like that. But I just didn't know how to execute it. And I've asked people like how to do and things like that. So like I learned from that.
Starting point is 01:03:08 But I've always had this thing like even when I was in high school. And I was always scared about dependency on like what if I want to do this. but I don't have anyone around me to help me. Like, how do I figure it out and still manage to do it? And so that, I mean, like I said,
Starting point is 01:03:24 that was always in me, like even in high school, like, what if, um, I couldn't cheat off of somebody though? Then what? Do I fucking fail?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Do I fuck up? And then it gets you to think about like, okay, well, what's the point of learning it? And like, , what does it help us with?
Starting point is 01:03:37 And I just started like, like asking all these questions to myself. And I brought that experience in high school to now with this work. Um, because this whole, whole work was like really like I mean for a lot of us it was very sporadic too like I mean we didn't really plan to grow and and as where we are now you know what I mean like we didn't really plan to be like this but it's one of those things where it happens and in my mind I'm like okay
Starting point is 01:04:04 let me like try and make the best out of it and so with streaming I wanted to create that but I also knew that I wanted to do like videos that are going to be like you know super cool and whatever and like I had all these ideas. And so it was really just a lot of like, how do I achieve it? How do I do it? So answering those questions led me into researching a lot, which led me into like this whole journaling shit and then like, you're fast-tracking. And then I got into cameras. And then I was like, oh my God, these are like this is so cool. Like I know why people, you know, do photography and like the deep rabbit hole that goes down. And then like just so many things. And it all happened really like in 2024 because
Starting point is 01:04:46 2023 was a lot of like just really just I don't know I didn't know a lot of shit but I was just having like I was trying to learn it I was trying to but I didn't really have the application to do it or whatever like I wasn't really applying it to much anything right and so uh 2024 I took I took that as the year of because we're doing the group channel like I said doing the podcast so I was like how do I make the podcast just a little bit better with the IRL right I tried with like the triple camera. was the color grade kind of, which sucks sometimes. And I realize that, but I mean, you live and you learn. Like, it's whatever. It was eaten up your time, bro. It was like doing all of those. But it was, it was time well spent in my opinion because that taught me a lot. Like it, it all, every experience that I've had with all the work that I've put into shit, it teaches me.
Starting point is 01:05:35 And that is like experience that I value very much. And like at the end of the day and everything that you do in life, like that's, you know, that's the goal. The goal is to learn, right? To learn and build and build on it. you have that foundation and like fast tracking through a lot of the stuff that you have, I guess, committed your time to. Because again, like, I want to reiterate to like everyone, I know that we were kind of gone for a long time and like doing our own things.
Starting point is 01:05:58 But, you know, even for my own sake, like I was doing things behind the scenes that I, at this point, I'm just going to talk about it because it took way too long to fucking, you know, have happened. Like, it's so many problems. One of the biggest projects I think anyone else I've ever tackled. Ever, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:14 So like, I'm just trying to like reiterate. that like you weren't sitting around and doing nothing. Like that last group gaming video was like proof of it. Like, you know, you were building on that. And it's like great to see because like, you know, even Tanner.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Like Tanner was working on himself like in any way, shape or form. Like we're all working on ourselves. But, um, you know, even like grunk, for example,
Starting point is 01:06:33 bro, like grunk's in his junior year of college now. Like, you know, and I know Isaac was spending fucking seven months on, on, on that video where we're not going to talk about it now. But like,
Starting point is 01:06:42 you know, that's a huge shit, bro. Like Isaac, in my opinion, like outdid himself on that last video that like when I watched part one I was like I remember grunk and I were sitting on the plane together we both had our laptops out and like we both timed it yeah there was a picture of it yeah and we were just watching it and I didn't even
Starting point is 01:07:01 get to watch part two but I was like dude if that was part that's part one I'm glad that there's a part two because like my brain needed to like yeah yeah a lot of people didn't see the vision Even I had the vision. When I watched part one full review, I was like, holy fuck. Like, should I really just, should I just do it? And then I ended up doing it. It's splitting the two parts. It was too much.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Yeah. Even I didn't see the vision at one point. I was like, well, Isaac, you're going to piss a lot of people off. And, you know, like, what have you? Well, it did. I mean, but that was to be expected. I think the way we're thinking about a lot of things right now, at least I know I am with like a lot of the, a lot of the shit that we're doing right now is the looking back.
Starting point is 01:07:45 It's kind of like the long term and what's worth putting an effort into and then what's worth like just, you know, having fun with and things like that. Because like these gaming channel or like this gaming channel, for example, is, I mean, it's a gaming channel. It's just us playing games. But for me, the challenge of just like having to, you know, do music for it or like just for like a fucking Nick was telling me this. He's like, dude, you're doing this much work for a stick fight video. And I'm like. about it because I was like, yeah, because it's, you know, stick fight. It's a stick fight video. And I'm like putting in all this effort. And it's like, for me, I'm like, yeah, because when I'm, when I'm
Starting point is 01:08:25 going to work on like a really fucking big project, like if at some point in my life, I work on a fucking movie that all the efforts and times that I put in, it's going to, you know, that's going to help with that. It's going to see. See, the thing is, the thing is not a lot of people keep that mental because a lot of people gauge what's worth their time and what's not worth their time and what to put it into. So like my mental was like, well, it's stick fight, right? So like, although I made my value of what the video could be worth for what it's needed for editing, you decided to still be like, well, listen, even though it may be a lesser in the hierarchy of like a grand video, you still wanted it to be something. You still
Starting point is 01:09:05 wanted production to still be there, which the only tradeoff I will ever say is that like, if that is something to be committed to, it has to be like time efficient. Like that was always my thing. You know, it's like it always just has to make sense. Like dumping six months into a stick fight video, not saying you did that. I'm just saying dumping six months. You know what I mean? But like, if you did, for example, I would be like, well, I don't know if it's kind of worth it.
Starting point is 01:09:28 And you're absolutely right. I, the way I'm thinking about it right now is like my, because I'm, I'm 22 and I wanted, I always wanted to use like this year, like my early 20s as a way to develop not just my scale. It's like a developing stage because I feel more conscious, like more aware now more than ever my fucking life because I was thinking about like what the fuck was I even think when I was in high school because it's I don't even remember what I was thinking about when I was in high school even like, you know, I don't know. It's just crazy because like that's one of the things that has changed a lot of my life. It's just like the way I think about myself and the work and all the efforts that I'm putting
Starting point is 01:10:11 in. It's like I feel really fucking connected to me putting. all this effort into shit because it just feels right. Like that's the big thing for me. It's like it feels right and it feels good. And it's also great just to be able to like put out real like effort into something that it's just like for our friend groups. And I love I love the fact that right now we're like in this era of doing things all in
Starting point is 01:10:34 house. Even though the tradeoff for that is the fact that like things would take a little bit longer than it would normally would be with other editors and things like that. But the trade-off is just like having it in house, having it to where like we control and we know what's going on too. Like sometimes when you have an editor, some of the reliance can be like a little off or you know, sometimes you're not, you're not sure where it's at or, you know, it's just like there's this thing. And I always had this fear when I'm when I'm working where it's like I don't know. When it's like not in my hands, I'm like, okay, what can happen with it? I don't know what can happen with it.
Starting point is 01:11:15 I don't know what's going on. So I don't know. Just knowing what's going on with it, knowing what I'm doing to it and knowing what I'm trying to do to it. It always helped me out. And it's also just fun. Like, it's a lot of fun just trying to put it together and then seeing it finally all put together and you're like, holy shit.
Starting point is 01:11:30 And then, you know, with that stick fight video, a lot of that time was spent on shit that I ended up just removing. But I learned from that shit. I was like, okay, I realize now maybe I shouldn't go. I shouldn't do this in the future so that I don't waste my time in the future doing, you know, just shit that it wasn't working out. Compounding. It's compounding.
Starting point is 01:11:49 It's all compounding. Can I tell you something about you that I could just tell like that you're not bullshitting? You're, we've had several conversations about this, right? And the fact that you're so passionate about it, right? Like, it's evident. Like every single time, like you like glow up when you want to talk about all this stuff. Like, in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:12:08 So it's like, it's crazy. because like even when we make like videos and stuff like that, like you seem excited to make videos, but like the way that you're just even talking about all of the production, all of the editing, all of like the knowledge that you've retained and that you're, you're basically a sponge for, right? Because like you've basically helped. Isaac, did Larry teach you or help teach you with Photoshop? Oh, yeah. You mostly learned you're on your own.
Starting point is 01:12:32 There was like one or two things. There was one singular thing that he came in and taught me and it was the fucking, uh control clicking to mask out things that were affected by a smart layer isolating them duplicating them and isolating them again in order to get it as a p and g rather than uh didn't tanner just learn control c yeah dude i don't use like yeah i don't use photoshop up dude i don't use computers like that dude Tanner and i were in the middle of her this is a master class i'm bringing them down the paint on that masterclass we're learning about yeah i learned
Starting point is 01:13:10 to do pain.net and I was really proud of myself because learning stuff for me is like impossible. Yeah. It's really it's a lot dude. Especially if you're if you're like ground zero with the key binds too. It's nerve wricking. I know for sure dude like he binds will save your is bro. Viewers at home because I'd be like over analyzing stuff and I overthink things. Dude that's always how it is that no matter what level or criteria you are like and like you know whatever the fuck things are always going to seem bigger than they are. Yeah. until you get it until you fucking tackle it
Starting point is 01:13:41 until you reach that point and then it's like oh you're like whoa that was like a small step and then and then everyone's like telling you like damn you're doing something so crazy and you're like no it's not really that crazy I could see how it is but it's not as insane
Starting point is 01:13:53 but it's just because you're at that point you're like at that perspective but things are always going to seem like a fucking like a canyon high big old mountain to climb up especially with especially with streaming for me it's like I overanalyze every idea I do I think about
Starting point is 01:14:08 too much of what I'm going to say at the beginning of the stream. Like, I literally have a script in my head that I go, like, what should I say? And then when I go to stream, I'm like, I forget all of that. Right. And then I don't even do anything I said. And I'm just like, oh, dude. And I blame ADHD and like anxiety and all that stuff that happens. Yeah. Definitely a mixture. And I stopped pretty much streaming because I got burnt out of over criticizing myself and you hate. Yeah. Because every time you would stream, you would have to face that feeling again, like over and over of that pressure. All right. Am I going to mess up? Am I going to say something right? Am I going to like stop,
Starting point is 01:14:39 talking at this point of the stream and be boring. Dude, that feeling of like, like whatever, I would always put on a YouTube video and be like, damn, are they bored right now? Hang on. I don't think somebody, I don't think one person likes this. I gotta change it.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Not one person is enjoying this. Yeah, I'm like, oh, is Chad, are you guys on? Hello? Hello, guys. You know, it's crazy talking about like that whole anxiety and stuff? I recently hung out with Chewy and we were playing Daisy.
Starting point is 01:15:09 and I told Chewy that people still ask about him like people like you know audience members and stuff like that they're always asking about them and he like didn't believe me like at all so like if you made if you made this far into the podcast can you and if you remember Chewy can you just like tell Chewy like in the comments section say that you miss Chewy. I told him I was like man people miss you so much bro people ask about you where you've been like we still talk you know
Starting point is 01:15:36 he just does his own thing in real life now but it's like That overthinking, like of the, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Well, when I saw one of your guys's first videos was like Discord Jeopardy. I thought Chewy was the funniest M.F. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:50 Dude. I'm so telling you, bro. Absolutely. Man's so funny. Bro, that was back. He's really fucking funny. That was back when Isaac was more of the butt of the joke than anyone else, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:02 We remember fucking, are you smarter than a fifth grader, Larry? Yeah. And Isaac was like, I'm going up against the fifth grader. All right. And then you were like, wait, no, Isaac, I'm on your team. And he was like, oh, wait, yeah. Yeah, dude. Oh, my God. And it was like, it was hieroglyphics and Isaac was like, no wingdings. Remember that shit?
Starting point is 01:16:22 Yes, bro. Yeah. That's so long. That's where it all started. Grunk's where it all began. Yep. Wait, yeah, grunk, did you reach out because you knew of our videos? Like, whose videos did you watch?
Starting point is 01:16:36 Yours. I'm pretty sure And dude, it's so funny The whole reason I'm on the internet Was never to get views Or money or fame It was just to be friends with people I watched I'm probably the most parasyosal
Starting point is 01:16:49 Social viewer there ever was Frankly You got some pair of social You got invited to the group Yeah So you pair of social viewers out there Keep pushing Keep pushing
Starting point is 01:17:00 You will make it You will make it You will join We'll join the group. Oh my God. It worked. It worked. I feel like I've told this story.
Starting point is 01:17:14 I told this on stream one time, like a while back. Just like how I would, I got on Discord servers and I would, I would befriend the people that were friends with content creators. And then I'd wait for the creator to join the VC and try to make a good impression. And then it got me to hear. So like, let's just. crazy. I think it worked. A lot of people, a lot of people do that. I mean, that's super normal, man. It is because like, bro, I feel like a lot of our viewers just kind of, I see that, you know, I'll hop in VCs with Nick sometimes and it's just like, damn, I just see myself in you, you know?
Starting point is 01:17:51 It's like that's, there are times where like you get the interactions where they're trying to make that impression. Right. Like, you can tell you're kind of not being who they really are, You know, it's like, you know, that's fine. We've all been there. It's fine. You know, you notice it. The line I draw is when you try and fucking pizza bomb us or when you try and find out where the fuck we live, you know.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Because the line is not funny at that point, you know, it's not adorable anymore. It's not. It's not. It's not you. It's not you. That's not you. That's not really not you. Stop trying.
Starting point is 01:18:26 Dude. Holy cow. That was like, oh. Yeah, that was crazy. That whole, that whole segment. of the internet that like like June 2023 specifically that was probably the most lame yeah the lamest time when you had to uh you had to uh you had to post that um that video on your vlog channel and then it did like the lowest views the least viewed video yeah we need to
Starting point is 01:18:53 have a talk and it's the least viewed video of me telling people to fuck off and stop being weird and that like yeah you're fucking weird please like stop looking at me like i'm you know what i mean like you're friend and there it's just like that's not me. Oh yeah I fully support this guy and he's not talking about me. It's like brother you are so not self-aware. It's insane and like I'm kind of like glad about like the whole like the hiatus for a little bit because hopefully it gave some time for growth. Yeah. I think it definitely. I don't even I don't even want it to be like they went they went somewhere else bro. On the podcast. I don't know it's kind of funny I think because it's funny you said you hope they've grown and I can attest at least one of them
Starting point is 01:19:38 definitely did because it's like you I know you're watching right now I hate giving you attention but like you you taught us all some no you didn't teach anything you learned yourself you dummy um you did like because we all know who they are yeah but like we know who they are it's not just their own name. We know who they are. But, yeah, because I posted it, I posted a picture. I was muted, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Watching you navigate this, it's just like, you're looking at all the roads you can go down. Yeah, because it's like, damn, what do I want to say? But this person, you know, classic long-time dockser, long-time, a long-time, annoying past. A long-time, annoying ass pest. Literally, like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:28 I posted a picture on my story and tagged my friend, and they stood up and were like, why are you making it so easy to, like, docks yourself now? I had to work so hard to find all your shit. And then I, and then what did I say? I forget what I said. Did you say you're oversaturating the market? Oh, yeah, yeah. I told them I was oversaturing the market because I thought it would be funny to fuck with
Starting point is 01:20:50 them a little bit. And then, and then, believe it or not, they replied and said with this long paragraph of how they've reformed and changed their ways and they were sorry for what they did. And it's like, huh, all right then. Because I think they have like no repercussions. Yeah. If you point them out, they're going to like fold. Yeah, bro, it's so crazy.
Starting point is 01:21:06 As soon as you get them direct attention, it's like, I'm sorry. Yeah. Instantly fold. Yeah. So that, that's funny. But you guys suck. You guys suck. And you, you, you've really, you tanked our morale for a bit.
Starting point is 01:21:20 I'll say this. A lot of you guys killed my passion for a living. Yeah. I will say that. For a living. Yeah. You guys are so weird. I'll be honest, though.
Starting point is 01:21:30 I'll be honest, I had a little bit of fun because I found out who these people were. Yeah, I mean, you know, it is fun. It was fun to reverse investigating, you know, like working backwards to find the people. Yeah, by the way. I just want to say it. I want to say it. I want to say it. I want to say it.
Starting point is 01:21:48 All it would have taken was one tweet and they would have gone private. Yeah. I just want to be real. If you're like in that community and you're actively doing that and you have the fucking balls to call one of these the cell phone numbers you find online, don't, don't do that unless you're, you're willing to, you're willing to like get phone out because that's just, it's, it's, do you think calling a number? It's just so like, bro, this was not the way it was, like, previous to COVID.
Starting point is 01:22:15 You know what I'm saying? Like, when I first blew up, what happened to the environment in the audience of people who just, like, you'd see some shit, you'd like a creator, you'd like them and you'd subscribe to them, but you don't go and think about, like, everything personally in their life. life, bro. Like, that is just like the weirdest shit. And that is obviously the definition of the parisocial stuff. Yeah. But I wonder how a big time rush had it. Probably horribly.
Starting point is 01:22:36 Bro, Justin Beaver. Justin Bieber. Don't even start it. Oh my God. Justin Bieber, dude. I don't know how that man's still alive. But. Bless that Bieber. Had it so bad. He made a song about it, bro.
Starting point is 01:22:51 He did. He invented a name. Stan. Stan. Oh, my God. You're fucking right. Yeah, that's nuts, man. It's not.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Well, I can't even imagine about, like, the K-pop groups. Oh, my God. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Taylor Swift. Just say what's on your mind. No, no.
Starting point is 01:23:09 I mean, I just saw, I just saw some, like, I'm on, like, all four corners of the internet. And there's the occasional, like, thing I don't fuck with. And this thing was K-pop. I'll be real. I don't fuck with it. Enough to. I just, I just, I don't. I just, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:23:25 That was, like, the fucking Kaisen ad gift. No, no. This tweet that I saw my timeline. Dude, it was, it was just like that. It was like these people were dead ass freaking the fuck out over the most minimal nothing burger thing I've ever seen. And people were agreeing in the comments. This she had over 100K likes.
Starting point is 01:23:45 Like, genuinely, there is this culture of just viewership and obsession over people that gets so poisonous to a point where you are moved to a certain mood over something so insignificant that it shouldn't even bug you. It shouldn't even drive you. It's lame behavior, bro. It's lame behavior, bro.
Starting point is 01:24:07 It's always like, if this wasn't my job, I think I would be in school to study, like, what happens? Because this feels like a new era of like human brain behavior. This is a psychological. We're in the stage right now
Starting point is 01:24:23 where we're seeing what's happening, but we haven't like fully studied it to have like terminology, Longitudinal data. Yeah, like, like, like have a bunch of like things and topics on it. I have a hunch constructed and things like that. COVID did an insane amount of irreparable damage to people and how they interact and socialize.
Starting point is 01:24:41 And they internalize being on. Absolutely. Oh, okay. COVID did. Like, because staying like, like starving people of their social interactions like going to school,
Starting point is 01:24:54 seeing people like those Zoom calls. Me up and I was a grown ass adult, bro. You know what I? I mean. Like, I felt like I lost a piece of like how I could socially interact. I started stuttering in like life. Like I just have a conversation. You stuttered? Like what actually the fuck, man. Come on, bro. Learn what to say before you say it. You're fine. It's like my brain is racing thoughts and my mouth can't keep up. Yeah. That's not a problem though. Like stuttering you know that. That's what I'm trying to do that. I feel like my mental. It's just degraded like
Starting point is 01:25:21 something. I feel like I have rust in my brain. My brain is metal and it's just rusting. I love he got hyped when COVID happened because I was already like, oh, I was already like a two weeks we were about at school for. No, dude. I remember I was telling my friends. I was like, how long nothing's gonna go on for? They're like,
Starting point is 01:25:35 tops like two weeks were like, I bet. Yeah. And then, and then Amongus happened. I was like, Among us. Among us.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Amongus. Crossing. Corps. I had so much fun over COVID. I was, I was peaking. That was much enough to be talking. That was around time.
Starting point is 01:25:52 And I remember, this is so funny. I remember I was streaming Bed Wars all the fucking time during bed. during that time. Dude, and then whenever we got back to school and we were doing online shit, I was so deep,
Starting point is 01:26:07 like fucking balls deep and like streaming bed wars and all the time that my school started, like I was top of my class and then it went, like so far down because he was top of the lobby boys.
Starting point is 01:26:20 Because I was top of the lobby. And like, dude, I remember my, I remember my brother got a phone call for my school because he was like my first. emergency contact and they told him they're like hey you know he's like I don't know what the fuck happened but check up on him because he went from to boom and so he caught he and and the fact that
Starting point is 01:26:40 my brother got the phone cut because I'm like I love my brother but he scares the shit out of me because he's like the he's like the one who who bust my ass for like basically I you know I'm the youngest in my family or like in my uh you know it's my my two siblings are older than me so I'm the youngest. And while my parents, you know, they flowered me and they shower me with like, you know, the, it's fine. He could do that. My brother's not giving me that bullshit.
Starting point is 01:27:07 And he puts me to work. And he was the one who would put me into like cutting the lawn. And he was the one who would put me into working with him so that I'm not just playing games all day. So I was always scared of him. But he got phone call that I was not doing well in school. And then he, you know, we started having this talk. But yeah, then, then COVID happened. And then I was like, guys, I'm working and I'm doing really well.
Starting point is 01:27:26 And I'm earning money. and I'm playing games and all these things. And then I somehow convinced the school to let me go with it, to let me graduate and do, because I was already doing well. So they're like, you have enough credits, you can do it,
Starting point is 01:27:38 fuck it. And then that was that. And then the rest is history? And then the rest was fucking, and it's still written history. It's still being written down. But no, that was like,
Starting point is 01:27:48 yeah, COVID for sure was exciting at first. But we're kind of experiencing the long-term effects. of that and stand culture and like yeah it's a shame honestly because like I feel like you're just not happy I just know you're not happy it's not fun it's not fun interacting with dude there's nothing fucking fun about
Starting point is 01:28:10 involving and jumping deep into someone else's life through a screen like it is trying to distract themselves from their own life yeah yeah bro but I know people can have some bad decks dealt to them but like bro ask for a reshuffle force the reshuffle. Like you can do, like, you don't have to. It's like these, most of the time it's these young children, these like 12 to 14 year olds that are just,
Starting point is 01:28:34 that are essentially inviting themselves into doing things that should be punishable as an adult sometimes. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, why can you fuck your shit up? You know what I'm saying? You know, it scares me as like, we get older and then, you know, at some point in our lives, you know, we become parents.
Starting point is 01:28:52 And it's like, how do I? because you try and you know what's interesting is like I'm hearing my my both of my siblings talk about it like they're they have kids at ages that are like really young like just entering like school so they're being exposed to that world and then like teenagers so it's like I'm I'm learning through their vision or through them their lens of how it's like really hard because even if you try and take away their phones they get exposed through it through school like a kid. Because I remember when I was in school as well And fucking, you know, at the cafeteria early in the morning Everyone's like waiting for school to start You're waiting in the cafeteria And then kids will show you like shit
Starting point is 01:29:33 Yeah And like you know Like that's how I found out that Santa wasn't real Broh That's how I found out Santa wasn't real Two girls one cup And you're like what the hell is happening And this is actually a thing in the world
Starting point is 01:29:43 And like yeah Your world becomes such a little bubble Yeah exactly Because you're in a small pocket And that's what your world is And then it just becomes this like almost like an alien. You're like what the,
Starting point is 01:29:56 like, what am I actually living in? Oh my gosh. Bro. It's crazy because that is ingrained in you. And so, but that is now 10x now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:06 It's like, dude, I had a friend when I was in, when I was in high school still, I had a friend who was trying to get into education. Like their whole degree was going to be education and they wanted to be a teacher. And so one of the things you do is you work with, kind of like a substitute in a way.
Starting point is 01:30:23 or like a teacher helper. So he was working with ages, I think it was like five to eight. And so it was like around like kindergarten to like third grade or something like that. And he was telling me that like there is some kids who are like, dude, they're like six, five years old. And this was back then. This was like back when I was, you know. So it's crazy that it's like so much even more now. But like he was telling me like, you know, five, six year olders are asking him if he's like a top or a bottom.
Starting point is 01:30:53 And it's like, what? What the fuck? Like being exposed to it. And then they tell me, he's like, you know, I hear it a lot. It's like their brother, their older brother, their older sister are, what happened? He just got breaking news. We've been where Isaac is walking right now. No.
Starting point is 01:31:12 I swear. Yes, Isaac is walking. Oh my God, that's the bar we went to. We literally were there. I'm so sorry. I recognize that place instantly because if Isaac goes back, Isaac goes back like 30. Wait, I asked photos. Okay, sorry. I took an Uber on that road.
Starting point is 01:31:27 I took back for Isaac. For the listeners, for the listeners, for the listeners, for the listeners, there was footage of Japan, like, just walking, uh, that Isaac has. And currently there's an alley there walking down and we've been in this alley before. And, uh, they're just trying to find it right now. I've been in this alley before. Like 20 seconds. I went back so far.
Starting point is 01:31:50 Right there. That's where I took my Uber right there. Oh my God. I swear. This is when we were there. Oh, wait. That's the, uh,
Starting point is 01:31:59 is the thing with the horror. Yeah, that's the death one. That's the one way they had a horror movie. That a horror movie playing outside. It was like a horror movie, uh, themed war.
Starting point is 01:32:08 Yeah. Yeah. I remember that shit. I love if I show like New York City, like walking, you would never say that. I'm so sorry. I want to,
Starting point is 01:32:17 I want to formally apologize for, for cutting off Larry in the whole conversation. I just saw that. was wicked. I can believe that. It was like a neuron. That was like, I saw that shit. And I was like,
Starting point is 01:32:32 I brought me back to good memories. Yeah. And then remember they like invited Schlatte in and not us? I was in there. No, there was a lot of drink. There was one guy that just like invited Schlat in. And I was like,
Starting point is 01:32:46 oh, you all going to go in? It was like two packed. Yeah, I was sad. I was talking to a game dev. Dude, that was really weird.
Starting point is 01:32:52 There was a game dev there. that was like visiting and they were talking about, I don't know what game, it was like an indie dev, I think, or unless they were working for like a big company, but that was really cool. I was talking to them for a minute. But what I was getting at was just that
Starting point is 01:33:04 basically the kids are exposed to way too much shit, way too early. And it's really unfortunate. And it's like we don't know the adult consequences of that. Like what is there? I wonder if there's going to be a change in like the law, like at some point.
Starting point is 01:33:21 Because like the age of like, Being 17 to 18, but the actions that what as someone that is under 18 still could commit and cause damage for It's like slowly happening. Like changes slowly happening. Like I don't know if you've seen there's a lot of age verification Like that's going on. Yeah, with IDs a lot of age. But even now there's still there's still little youngans on Roblox voice. Yeah, no, absolutely. And right now Roblox like they're they're under fire for a lot of shit too and it's like Roblox is not a safe place either for kids. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:33:54 Yeah. It's just being overdone by like, and it's like also shame on those who are like doing that shit because it's like meant to be, it's meant for kids. And, uh, yeah. I don't know. And I, it's just, it's tough, man. I think the weird thing is like the 17 and up lobbies are kind of crazy too. Yeah. And then I'm thinking about it too.
Starting point is 01:34:15 I'm like, damn, like we really played a bar game in a Roblox game. And it's like, fuck. That's fucking There's like a 35 year old In one of the bar games, I'm pretty sure Like they're old Yeah It's scary
Starting point is 01:34:27 I just watched a clip of this guy In VR chat that was 35 And like there was a person That was baiting them And they were pretending to be like 17 Or something like that or 16 And he's like Yeah
Starting point is 01:34:38 Come here give me a hug And like there's like It was really bad It was such a hard way So you're not gonna give me a hug So you're not just You're not gonna ignore me You're not gonna give me a hug
Starting point is 01:34:46 I feel like VR chat started this all Yeah It's an epicenter. It was like that like anime, VR, you know, like Vaney hands. You know, you got like the... Six foot with the seven foot sword. Yeah, seven foot.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Yeah, six foot with the seven foot sword. And the nine inch wide knuckles. And I don't know what that is. I was made that up. Right. Yeah. Boss coffee spot. Nine inch. Shut out.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Shout out nine inch wide knuckles. Oh, he hurt us. Oh, you mean this? Audio listeners, the guy walking just stopped walking and turned around to get a boss coffee in Japan. He wasn't in the Isaac. I didn't get to talk about what I've been working on for a few months. That yeah, please. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:37 Because that is a huge thing. Yeah. I took on a big project because I was like, well, I'm kind of lost in YouTube. I don't know what I want to do anymore. vlogging, I'm tired of being the reason potentially why people are getting doxed. And like, you know, like I just
Starting point is 01:35:56 I'm genuinely like what Tanner said. It happened to me too. And I remember that, yeah, I remember that hurt you a lot. Like to have the innocence of like the vlog because the vlogs were just like, lucky go free, do whatever, record anything. But then it turned into like,
Starting point is 01:36:11 I remember we were trying to record some videos and you're like, you think like is this background? It cramped me, bro. It cramped me, bro. Like, like, you became very, very almost enclosed. I was enclosed. Like, I had parameters. I couldn't point it at windows, stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:36:26 So I was like, damn, like, I get it. But I just don't want to deal with that. I don't want people to have to deal with it too. So, and then also, like, I didn't know this. And I was explaining this a little bit to Larry. And I just learned this about myself recently. Like, this is my vlog camera. And like, this lens used to be huge.
Starting point is 01:36:41 And, like, this is a new camera that I bought to vlog. Remember in Japan when we found this and it was in the United States yet? So like, I was like, oh, I'm looking forward to getting this new camera and it was better quality, everything. I wanted to, like, upgrade everything. But in upgrading everything came with a bigger lens and, like, it was like cram—it just shitty. It's, like, hard to, like, hold a camera this way. So that just cramped my style. And so I ended up going and getting a car to rebuild, honestly.
Starting point is 01:37:05 Like, I went on a car auction. I rented a warehouse. And I decided to like— That's what Santa Claus was talking about in last leave. Yeah, that I thought that I would have out by then. And I did not. And I still don't. about that joke and why it was said.
Starting point is 01:37:19 That's what, that's why. Yeah. Yeah, I bought a crash damaged car to rebuild for YouTube videos. Stole someone's Christmas present. Stole someone's Christmas present.
Starting point is 01:37:29 And it's still, it's still a pain of my ass. And it's still like very expensive that I, I basically learned a very crazy lesson. And like, I knew going into it it was going to be hard to do. And like, I'm very fortunate.
Starting point is 01:37:43 You also knew it was something you wanted to try and do. Like you attempted to push. Absolutely. and an envelope like that where it's like you were very, very enforcing that. Yeah. Yeah, like my mental on it was like, well, okay, I don't know much about like rebuilding a car. But what I do know is that someone designed it. Someone put it together or someone did not design a technology to put it together.
Starting point is 01:38:03 It was done by a human. And so like what's so hard about me using my resources to try and do the same? And I accomplished that, right? It's just like it's taking a long time because there are other like implications of doing it. and like, you know, the car has still some problems. I mean, I don't know how much you want to get into it, because there is like this big project. Like, that is a massive investment you did. And like, just the grand scope of it, I mean, is pretty, it's very ambitious and it's very, like, I'm, I want to say,
Starting point is 01:38:33 I'm very proud of you for, like, doing that and going through with it because it is crazy. Even if it's, like, not, you know, entirely what you expected or what you wanted out of it. But, like, it's just insane. I wanted to get into, I wanted to get into just making car videos, right? Like, instead of, like, doing Discord much anymore, like, doing vlogs because I felt like the vlogs were just done at that point. I was going to make a car channel. I was going to do all that.
Starting point is 01:38:57 And I just, then obviously plans changed again, right? And so now, you know, I have that car and I'm still like, like, things change all the fucking time. Like, that's just like my lessons. Like, dude, nothing fucking matters. Like Grunk says, nothing ever fucking happens. Nothing ever happens. Nothing happens.
Starting point is 01:39:10 Yeah, nothing happens. Nothing ever happens. And I just was like, yep. And then, yeah. So I'm still. working on this car right now. It's almost done. And, yeah, it has been very expensive, way more expensive than what I thought and what I was prepared to take on. So I am trying my best to quickly and efficiently get that done. It went from me taking this and making it into a series
Starting point is 01:39:31 of rebuilding it and turning it into, well, fuck it, I will just do one giant video and it'd be like several hour long encompassing. You can literally watch my weight loss journey over the last almost year. I got it in October. October, I got it. We're in August. September. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:39:50 It's been 10 months. I've had this car. Holy shit. Oh, my God. It doesn't feel like it was. I kept on saying eight months for like the past four months. Yeah. Yep.
Starting point is 01:40:01 10, two months, I guess. Oh my gosh. Wow. You know when like you don't know the age of your grandma, so your grandma just stays like 80 years for like five years. It's kind of how old is grandma? 60, 68.
Starting point is 01:40:15 62. She's like 62. Her 62 second birthday was five years ago, bro. Yeah. She's like 93 now. Yeah. Yeah. So that's kind of like where I was at. And, you know, obviously I'm bringing the vlogs back.
Starting point is 01:40:27 I just, dude, all I give a fuck about is hanging out and having fun, man. We moved to Austin three years ago. Three years ago. Yeah. And like, dude, we moved together to like make videos in person, right? Not do this online shit all the time. And like, so to some people. they might see that us going and reverting back to online podcast is like reverting back in some way
Starting point is 01:40:49 taking a step back but it's like this is like one of those things this is comfort this is a comfort thing this is an ease thing this is something that like it makes more sense with grunk situation and it feels good like and that's that's been the thing um i've been following the feeling of like the gut like the feeling of what feels good what feels right um and like uh the way that i envision the future for now because I never picture like even when shit goes bad I'm like dude I'm not done with it like it's not over I'm not fucking done with it I'm not done working on this shit like I'm just going to continue on and like fucking do the things and what I have in mind with the group like just in general with with the channels that we have and yeah the quality and the production and what
Starting point is 01:41:33 we get to experience like recording these things and like the place we get to go to and things like that like I still envision a very very ambitious thing and And while right now it's a slow buildup, because like I said, I'm still learning these things. And the reason why, like right now I don't have an editor is because like I want to get to a certain point where I've finalized in a way, like the style or at least like the process that I do these videos. And because the gaming videos I approach differently from like in person videos because those are two different vibes like two different paces, two different energies. and at some point I'm going to get to where we when we get somebody to help us like you know offload some of this like work it's still going to be like very much so like quality insurance like we're going to make sure like everything's good and to you know to a tea. I'm going to have to train folks like train folks with a lot of different things. And that in itself it's a process that you know obviously takes time. But like right now we're keeping and we're keeping everything like in house. Like I'm working on all these things. to try and put him out and we just want this
Starting point is 01:42:42 what we're trying to get back is a feeling it's not just like you know you give it like a group chat flare yeah yeah exactly give it a touch that we understand and we feel is right and it's better than chasing
Starting point is 01:42:55 you know a number chasing a certain growth or whatever things like that because I do feel and Isaac has always told me this like you know things follow when you put your fucking love and passionately into it Like, you know, shit. People just pick it up and they get it.
Starting point is 01:43:12 And like, and I always feel great explaining it too because like me going through this journey of like learning about editing more beyond editing. It was like a lot about learning about myself as well. And I've still yet to apply things to like, let's say even like my, you know, this obsession I have with learning. I want to apply to like learning about like food, learning about my body, learning about like all that shit like my health and then get that up as well. It's like right now, low key, I just eat just to fuel up my body so that I'm not tired.
Starting point is 01:43:41 And that's a like I don't really take great deal care of myself. Yeah. At most like I'm like up walking around every now and then and that's that. So I'm not just like, but I spend a lot of fucking time in this damn office like a lot of fucking time. And it's been my Zen and my den and everything like that. But you know, at some point you have to focus on health and your body and the full goes in your food and things like that. But what I was going to get at earlier is like me talking about it is also me inviting people to learn if they feel inclined to like. And I'm always open to talk to anybody about, you know, this shit because it's just such a, I learn from people talking about it.
Starting point is 01:44:23 So I want to be able to talk about it as well so that other people learn from that. It's like a passing down the information, you know, that type of deal. And sharing the- For only $50 a month, you can send it for a hilarious course on our Patreon. I will be making it. No, but like, sorry. It is like that, though, sometimes.
Starting point is 01:44:43 It's kind of crazy. Sometimes I want to learn something and they're like, okay, but you got to take an online course and it's going to be $300 for three weeks. And I'm like, fucking a. My intensive course comes down. And it's going to be at six in the morning. You got to be there or you get kicked out of the class, but I keep the money. I see 10 grand.
Starting point is 01:45:00 I'm saying, where's 20? That's what I'm saying. Plus the tax. You know how the taxes be. Make it 25 for the text Take it 25 for the Texas Add a little sprinkle of 10 Because I gotta eat
Starting point is 01:45:13 Somebody's gotta feed me And I gotta eat But like You guys the pandemic I started Yeah I started a pandemic And I feel really bad for Willie
Starting point is 01:45:23 Really Because I started at all You fucking Well I was away While I was back in Washington I was I was itching for just a hobby To do other than work out
Starting point is 01:45:33 Because I started You had football for a minute I had football and then it went away and it was like, what am I going to do now? And then I saw the humble collecting of Pokemon cards. I was like, oh, this was kind of fun. Wait, wait, wait, sorry to interrupt you. Before that, you had mobile games. I don't know how, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:51 You were addicted to fucking. No, this is really funny because I'd played Cookie Run Kingdom for like six months. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You were a top player. I was top 500 in the world. Oh my God. I have the badge of top 500
Starting point is 01:46:09 still to prove it. Drop your meta cookies. What was the meta back then? Oh, my God. It was burning spice cookie. It was, um, Flour, Mystic Flower cookie.
Starting point is 01:46:17 It was Wind Archer. It was, um, whatever that means. Yeah, no, it was, I had meta.
Starting point is 01:46:23 I pretty much looked up what meta was. And I grinded to get those cookies so I could be the top 500. Fair enough. Awesome. Yeah. Awesome. And then I just got so good at it.
Starting point is 01:46:34 And I'm like, well, I don't know what to do anymore. Stop playing forever. Got too good. And then you went to the Pokemon. Then I went to Pokemon cards. And now how that effect Nick?
Starting point is 01:46:44 So, okay. So what happened was I would go to card shops and I was like, dude, how come nobody has Pokemon cards? And I learned that there was just constantly selling out because they're just really popular right now, I guess. I was like, oh, crap, what do I even do? And I luckily I found one Pokemon like pack. It was the 151.
Starting point is 01:47:01 And the first thing I pulled was a, was a demigod pack, which that's, that means. I got a Charmander, Charmielian, and the Charzard from one pack. And that kind of set my addiction up, but I couldn't buy any more Pokemon cards. It's like chasing the first hit. I was chasing the first hit. The first time. But I couldn't buy anything because they weren't in the stores. So I went on whatnot.
Starting point is 01:47:19 And I was like, dude, Willie, look at this app. You can just like buy Pokemon packs and they'll rip it for you on stream and they'll send it to you. And then you can like get good hits. And then. Oh. Yeah. That takes away that half the struggle. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:47:38 I just got bad news. What is it about your PSA ratings? Yeah. Oh my God. Oh, my God. I'm talking about it on the podcast. Now as you can hear, he's just got his about your PSA.
Starting point is 01:47:51 Drop the news. What happened? Pokemon, listen up. My Gangar EX 114. A card that just sold PSA 10 for 15 grand. Mine got great. rated back a seven.
Starting point is 01:48:07 That's fucking trash. Just throw it out. Bro it away or gave it to me. I just got to say though, like, dude, I feel like I bleed and then everyone was into like Pokemon cards and I just had not a single lick. Tanner got me into it a while I was still in Washington. And then,
Starting point is 01:48:24 yeah, we just kept going. Now I have a huge collection, but I don't buy it anymore because they start getting really, really expensive. When we went to go get you, there was a hella Pokemon fucking shops
Starting point is 01:48:37 all over that damn place dude holy Jesus Christ there was speaking of speaking of speaking of that speaking of that that was like the sweetest moment I think we've ever had
Starting point is 01:48:48 there's a break group can we talk about like how we so okay way it wasn't even that way what was it it was May it was in May second half of May
Starting point is 01:49:00 second half of May grunk came over to our house and then we partied and tell us yeah he just showed up and then we're like wait what if we go find Tanner and I'm just
Starting point is 01:49:15 I'm in line at this point this was all set up but what happened was we flew up to to Washington and we got to live in the boots of tea and it was fucking awesome he took us it was crazy it was crazy dude and shout out the family
Starting point is 01:49:31 because holy smokes They literally hosted, I gotta stop saying literally, they hosted a party, like a little mini get together. Yeah, and they went like a family. And it was crazy. It was crazy. We had a big fan function. We had good chicken.
Starting point is 01:49:46 It was just so awesome. And then, oh my God, breakfast in the morning. It was like, fuck. Oh my God. And I was itchy. Oh my God. You were itchy. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:49:57 I was also. My face was getting really red. And then my mom's like, here's the hydrochortisone. like the anti-h cream. Yeah, yeah, I got hooked up. Dude, my face was like at some points really red out with it. I don't know what's in the air, but I was also like burning up on my face for some reason.
Starting point is 01:50:12 Dude, that place is so special. It's like a different vibe from anywhere I've ever been. Yeah, it's very special. I got really used to late. So sweet. And the dogs too, oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You have a scar from her. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:50:29 Well, she didn't she didn't do it on purpose. It's like when she has her tire toy in her mouth. She like, she presses up against you because she wants to play tug of war. One of her teeth goes like right into your leg. And then she looks at you like, she drops the toy like, oh yeah. I'm like, oh, it's okay.
Starting point is 01:50:43 The moment of realization. Yeah. She like completely stops what she's doing like, oh, oh. Dude, the sweetest trip, I think we've ever had. Like, actually we flew up there. And we need to do more of that. We need to do more of those trips. I would love to travel.
Starting point is 01:50:58 More trips. Do it like Japan and stay like two weeks. Yeah. But actually, like, Like, like, and so this is, this is the thing. It's like now with, because last time we did a Japan trip, there was a lot of footage that, by the way, Isaac, I have like all of your Japan footage and like, I have. Where the fuck is part two, Taylor? I already said, dude. Tanner, it wasn't you part two, man. It got deleted, dude.
Starting point is 01:51:23 It's not even on my camera anymore. It's just gone. That's so funny. The footage is gone. You didn't save it? It got corrupted. And then it deleted. And then I was like, well.
Starting point is 01:51:32 Well, there's that. It was only two years ago. I missed that whole trip. So you think part one was gas. When we did it, and it's like, and it's a thing that now I realize because, you know, I'm able to self-reflect, but like we were so underprepared for a trip like that from a, like, equipment standpoint, in my opinion. Because we had, and you could see it in the Universal video, like, when it would go nighttime
Starting point is 01:51:58 and like the footage just all start lagging, things like that. And like, I have this big. thing with visuals and like, you know, the videos and things like that. Because I, I'm always, I'm very moved when I watch movies and when I'm watching people who put like a lot of effort into videos. So like, I want to have the same, I want to give someone the same feeling that I had when I'm watching shit, you know, like, that I'm like moved by. And so like, when we do a trip again, like, and like just go out somewhere. I want to be very well equipped, like, equipped to do really awesome great videos and actually put them out and like actually you know have a really
Starting point is 01:52:36 great experience for like uh everyone who is watching and things like that like it's just uh and i'm excited like again this is uh back to like the future of like us and like what we're trying to do is like i'm very excited um for this chapter and like i said it's not like uh we're dropping everything his in your face a lot of people were assuming and kind of like knew that there was going to be like a, I think they were saying like a floodgate after last leave VC. There was like there's going to be a flood gate after last leave you see and everything's going to drop and things like that. And part of me I had the idea of dropping like a lot of things all that wants to.
Starting point is 01:53:13 It's just that like it also happens. I don't know. The schedule of last to leave you see was constantly. I don't think it was ever set date until the date which when it dropped was set, right? There was like it was always kind of like in the air what was going to happen. So like I with that was going with the flow and I was just like okay well I might as well just take time to like learn More about like the flow that I was going to work with like this whole setup I had behind me Was yeah weeks of it was it was the same thing with me preparing the IRL podcast like I didn't know how to work out the cameras that we got but we got them
Starting point is 01:53:48 I did I did the research and then I had to do the applying what I learned and so that was a process in itself and then like how do I make it all work? How do I edit it? Because like you got a to like go from like how do what SD cards do I need that works with what I'm trying to do to the very end of like what's the thumbnail what's the title what's the thumbnail template going to look like how often like you know just so many details that like now I know but like at the time you're just like going you're running through the schedule you're like okay I wake up I do this and then I note it down I'm like okay this what I'm going to do and wake up blah blah blah And so that's why I have like journals. I have that whiteboard.
Starting point is 01:54:27 I have like a bunch of like notes on my computer and my phone. Like just constantly reminding me and updating because it's way too much to keep in a brain. But it's very, I'm very excited. Like very excited. And like the more one of the things I feel bad, you guys, I feel so bad is like I know editing takes up a lot of time. And like as as friends, you don't play as many games. And I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:54:55 It's okay. Gaming is dead right now. Anyways. Yeah. Battlefield Sigs is like fucking secure. Secure boot lock. It's so ass. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:04 What did you hold on? Pause because I know that the two of you were like, fuck Battlefield. That's just some ass. But Larry was the only one playing. Larry, what the hell did you have to do to play that game? Nothing. I had a pre-built PC. I'm fucking.
Starting point is 01:55:16 Yeah, me too. Dude, that's nothing. That's the bullshit. Wait, whoa. Pause, pause, pause, pause, pause, pause. you have a pre-built PC and you were able to play because of that I don't know
Starting point is 01:55:28 because of that it's just that the coincidence is that Grunk and Nick couldn't and they don't have a pre-built me and Tanner couldn't and we have a pre-built my motherboard I needed a key
Starting point is 01:55:38 that goes with my motherboard and I needed to put my key in the bios in order to play Battlefield 6 get the fuck out I'm not playing it like to be honest so okay
Starting point is 01:55:48 there was this tweet I saw of this little fucking P&G, too, or cheating his little or her little ass off something. And if you're telling me just to play the game, you had to go into your BIOS and change a whole bunch of bullshit that has to do, that has to do with your motherboard.
Starting point is 01:56:05 This person was cheating in that game. That's the point. What did you have to do? People are saying they're not cheating. They're just aiming. I'm hearing, yeah, they are. I watched a video yesterday. Yeah. I find it very suspect. I find
Starting point is 01:56:21 very suspect, but like that was a compilation of like a whole bunch of their craziest hits. Yeah, notice how, did you see the one with the stairs? Have you seen people actually aim before? Like, that's what it looks like. They're like, they're really fucking fucking fucking seen people aim before.
Starting point is 01:56:37 Have you seen what people try hard to aim in the game? You're getting old, Isaac. You're getting old. I'm pretty sure. Like, I'm not sure what a kill looks or sounds like in battlefield, but what happened was they shot at someone up the stairs. Or no, they shot at someone to their right, kept on shooting.
Starting point is 01:56:53 I'll take a look. I'll be the judge of it. Because I played a lot about it. They snapped. They snapped back like a rock. Wait, no, no, no, no, no. Different, different, different one. Different clip. They're looking up at the stairs. They shot someone to their right. They died. They look up. They're shooting. He died. And then they went back to the other person, kept on shooting.
Starting point is 01:57:10 It was almost like they didn't know that they were dead or not. They were just holding left click. That's my 10 cents. But we're like way off track, you. Yeah, way off track. Yeah. We're analyzing battlefield. Yeah. Hold on. See Twitch. See if they... No.
Starting point is 01:57:23 Okay, thank you. My entire day has just been ruined over the idea. You guys saw you shut down for a second. Dude, I literally like, yes, bro. I just sat here and I was like, I was just staring. I'm like, all I got to say is, you're really going to let it get to you? You're really going to let it get to you?
Starting point is 01:57:41 Fuck PSA. That's all I got to say. Hey. PSA sucks. Are you hyped yourself? That was awesome. Hey. Who's with me?
Starting point is 01:57:52 Be done. Dude. Look, okay, let me explain why... Let me explain why Pokemon makes no sense anymore. So you have to pay over... Over priced, overly priced pack, whatever. And if you like the old vintage stuff, the chances of even being able to get a heavy pack from vintage are very low.
Starting point is 01:58:09 And then the chances of you being able to open it and the card is good quality and a good hit is even worse. And then to be able to send it to a grading company for them to give you the grade that you want, is like, it's like a, like a point. You're explaining gambling. Yeah. You are. Yeah. That's what gambling is.
Starting point is 01:58:27 This is gambling. The chance of being like a fucking. All three seven is a hell of a mask. It's not gambling. It's not gambling because, because I'm walking away with some. No, it is gambling. It's a hobby.
Starting point is 01:58:39 It's a hobby. It's a hobby. I'd be walking away with 43 cents too. For my, for my saw machine. I get a little ticket. Oh, too. That sucks.
Starting point is 01:58:49 Whoa. Well, some paper. Cardboard. What? I think. I'd rather I'd say some NFT pixels, bro.
Starting point is 01:58:59 Send it back in. Send it back in. Yeah, crack it and get it cleaned and then send it back in. I see it cleaned. What did they put on it? They spit on it real nice.
Starting point is 01:59:09 Nice. Oh, I'm sorry about your card. I mean, I would be pissed too. I'll be real. That's a... What car was it?
Starting point is 01:59:16 The Gengar? Mm-hmm. Oh. The $15,000. dollar card that was supposed to be $15,000. What's it worse now? Yeah, at a seven, what are we looking at? What are you gonna inflate?
Starting point is 01:59:26 What are you doing? Stop, stop. Are you pooping? Viewers at all? I'm a alien's at space. I mean, I mean, I mean, uh, Nick's a balloon? Question mark.
Starting point is 01:59:37 I don't know what you're doing. I really don't know what he's doing. Can you fucking believe your ears? All right. P-A-7's like fucking poopy-dupy water. No, I don't know. I don't care. I mean, it's just like,
Starting point is 01:59:48 really. Why not at, nine. Why not like something better? Like, anyway, who cares? Moving on. No, I know. I can't name a single person who does. I don't think you cares. Why couldn't it be like? Look, I'm so deep into the Pokemon stuff that I had to make a channel for it because like it was, I just had to. You had to. You had to make a place.
Starting point is 02:00:08 So you could write them all. All the cards pointed to. Year of the Willie is upon us. 2026. He's dropping like 48 videos a month for the entire year. I post a video. Oh, week. I post a video a week on that channel where it's just rips. You guys know about it. And like, look, this is how deep I am into grading. This is my next batch of grading right here.
Starting point is 02:00:29 Oh, the palkiah. The houndo. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Give me at least one E-reader right now. Yeah, come on. Thanks. I have one. You want one? Yeah, I'll take an E-reader. Yeah, I'll do you. A reader.
Starting point is 02:00:42 Yeah. Wouldn't she like to know? Yeah, wouldn't you want to know? I don't know how much. I mean, you get to the fucking hobby to learn what that is. I had to, I had to open up several hundred packs before I understood. Larry's existed. Next time, Sky Ridge, Larry,
Starting point is 02:00:54 you know nothing about SkyRidge. Nick asks how to do a drop shadow in Photoshop. You just say, wouldn't you like to know? What did you like to know? What did you like to enter my world? Yeah, dude. I'll show you
Starting point is 02:01:04 a thing or two. You show me a thing or two. Oh, I'll take the magic harp. Oh, he's so happy. I get excited. Oh, take the story. I love the drawings. They're so cute.
Starting point is 02:01:12 That's what I like, dude. The new shit's so ugly. That's what you like. We're talking about grading. You're talking about like, all these, like, fucking putting a grade. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:22 They got a swirl? Why would you send in a piece of art that you like for someone else to tell you how much they like it? To tell you like, yeah, that's good or not? And then you're like, that's good or not? Yeah, that's bad. It's white. Throw it away and give it to me.
Starting point is 02:01:38 And then you listen to them and you're like, yeah, you're right. That's bad. Yeah. Yeah, that's bad. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:44 It's kind of weird. Yeah. Actually, yeah, it's ass. It's ass. Whip. You just flexing, dude, I don't even know I'm not flexing. Look at this.
Starting point is 02:01:55 Is it the jumbo big tini? That is the jumbo big tini? That is the jumbo. No, it's a regular size card. Tender's a regular car. Oh, that big fish. He lives in a tiny dollhouse that we made for him. Tanner, I love how like any time you move your room always has like the same.
Starting point is 02:02:11 I don't know, it's always home. It's always, you always got like stuff going on. It is always. You always got the same color scheme somehow. I know. I'm a creature of half. I like, I need the same things I have, the same colors, everything the same. Greg has got like the same set of, dude.

Starting point is 02:03:19 What will happen is I will give a take or a point of why I wrote that down. That was cool or that was bad. Cool or sucks, please. Yeah. Cool or sucks or cool. If it sucked or if it was cool. I forgot to press play on my audacity. That's good.
Starting point is 02:03:34 Don't even joke like that. Do not even joke like that. My PC's off. That's a better joke because that one is like, okay. I'm getting into the ear of the grung. Let me hear this. saw snow strippers live I messed up

Starting point is 02:07:46 I was going to ask that. I might have contributed to a shortening of the lifespan because I look he was holding it and then it fell out of my hand. Oh, no, that's okay. That's okay. That's okay. It's a hermit crab, right? Yeah, they have hard shells.
Starting point is 02:08:01 Yeah, they're chill. It is all right. You know, I did feel very bad, though. And then for Halloween, I was super green. I painted my body green to be an alien and it like dyed my eyebrows not green. It just made them look way darker and I looked like a maniac. Like I looked like
Starting point is 02:08:20 oh, I looked like the abrasive side of SpongeBob. You remember that episode anyone? It looked like the abrasive sponge. It was really scary. That's so funny. What? I've never heard of the earth. I don't think I've seen that. Oh, it's a scary episode.
Starting point is 02:08:36 It really, it's like, it's horrible. Is it new one? SpongeBob has a like, It might be a newer world. Oh, never mind. Okay. Yeah. The abrasive side.
Starting point is 02:08:45 Yeah. Just bad news. Yeah. Literally like that. Audio listeners at home or isn't the brace of sponge with eyebrows. Yeah. Green with like thick eyebrows. Do you want reference?
Starting point is 02:08:55 Yeah. Yeah. That was a great pool. That was a great pool. Thank you. So it was really green. And I actually ruined someone else's costume because I got my green all over their costume. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 02:09:06 I got my green on you. Yeah. It was like green. They were in an. angel and I was it was just bad. You're a booger. Yeah, you got your... Yep.
Starting point is 02:09:17 And then I have the things that happen when you are out of a relationship written down, which is like, it's just interesting because you kind of just think what you want and then you don't want that and then you're like, oh crap, I look you don't want that. And then you just kind of
Starting point is 02:09:34 you learn a lot about yourself is what I'm trying to say. A lot of discovery. Yeah, seriously. And then went to Sweden with Mitchell Pulsefire from Pulse Fire. Spontaneous. Oh, I bet that was the date. Yeah. That was right after.
Starting point is 02:09:52 Right after. It must have been. Yeah. Right after. And got back before Christmas. Wow. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 02:10:01 Yeah. What? I just want to mention, though. You flew over here, recorded Lastly VC and then left the most. morning after to go I think back home and then Sweden.
Starting point is 02:10:15 Let me see. Let me check. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the timeline. It was like right. It was like right out of last movie.
Starting point is 02:10:20 I remember. He had to. Yeah. It wasn't like a maybe. I definitely had to leave. Okay. So I think, okay,
Starting point is 02:10:26 so I have here on my iPhone. I got, I got back from you. So December 9th is when I got back to here. Wow. left for Sweden
Starting point is 02:10:40 13th? Was it the 13th? I remember, yeah. Oh, sure. I don't know. 14th. 14th. Because you land on the 14th.
Starting point is 02:10:52 Hard to say. Please, let me be right. Please. Let me be right. Please. And, and, and, and, shit, sorry. And no, 15th.
Starting point is 02:11:03 Fuck. All right. Well, I mean. Well, that might have been their time. Maybe it's different. I don't know. Still, Sweden. How was Sweden?
Starting point is 02:11:09 Was it true? Sweden was, Awesome. I could literally feel the presence of Drain Gang all around me. And it was, it was sick. Oh, my God. The atmosphere and pressure of Drain Gang. Dude, I have a game. Everyone. Everyone. Okay.
Starting point is 02:11:25 Pick a number between one and 150, okay? Oh, shit. Do I tell you? Yeah, we're going to say it on three, or I'm going to count down. Okay. Three, two, one, seventy two. 122. Okay.
Starting point is 02:11:37 Well, forget. I said 84. What was the game? But basically. That was a lot of fun. Can we do it again? It's a great game. Yeah. Three, two, one, seven, seventy-five. Okay. I said seventy-five. Who said seventy-five? We both said seventy-five because it's half of one-fifty.
Starting point is 02:11:53 I didn't think that far into it. I said seventy-five. Well, there you go. And basically, Mitchell and I have picked up on this phenomena where a lot of times people will say seventy-two. Like we, so we were in a club, right? And there is this group of a very attractive women. And I said, okay, don't tell me. Pick a number between one and 150. You did not. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:20 Yeah. You're probably. The Swedish House Mafia. Yeah. And, and we counted down. And we both said 72, and we were like, whoa. That was crazy, you know. Did you get in her details?
Starting point is 02:12:33 I still didn't do it. No details. I still didn't do it. I didn't even go up. What? I didn't even approach. Oh, so you lied. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:43 Which is crazy because, like, that says a lot. Yeah. But it was just crazy. And then, and then fast forward to when I got here many months to go by, I'm in the car with five people, and I play the game again.
Starting point is 02:12:57 Three people said 72. Three. Three people said 72. I'm serious. But I think it's because I, whether I know it or not, I plant an egg in their head about it. What's the,
Starting point is 02:13:10 What's the range? What's the range? One to 150. Interesting. All right. You guys ready? One, yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:18 Two, three. 702. Wow. 72. Wow. Grunkey, just planted an egg. Yeah,
Starting point is 02:13:26 so now. You plan an egg. And it even worked with a person just recently again. Because I literally just said the number 72 just in conversation. Then I played the game and then they said 72. I left it, imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:38 So, 72. you want to play a game well? Oh, okay. 72, they picked up on it too and he was like
Starting point is 02:13:48 I think it's because you said 72 earlier and I was like yeah, that's probably why. Say, but yeah, but yeah, Sweden, really cool.
Starting point is 02:13:59 Awesome. We accidentally ended up at the university of Stockholm and then because we took the wrong train and we just got out
Starting point is 02:14:07 at a random stop and it was just like really awesome. And they have a crazy gym or like an indoor sports thing. It is nuts. And we went to IKEA in a mall. This mall was our hub. And holy cow, you guys,
Starting point is 02:14:21 the beauty rates in Sweden, it's crazy. There's so many beautiful people, man and female. It's crazy. And everything in between as well. And everything in between us. And so wait,
Starting point is 02:14:33 you went to a Swedish IKEA. Yes. And I got, That's kind of like going to a KFC in Kentucky. Oh, that guy. That is so cool, bro. And it's actually a TikTok on my page on Grunk that Mitchell and I recorded in the IKEA. That's really hilarious.
Starting point is 02:14:53 And if you guys want to go check that out. Yeah, we'll check that out. We ate Italian probably four nights there that we were there. And their Italian is really delicious. the guys like if you go to Sweden, eat Italian. Careful. Steam coming out of Willie's ears.
Starting point is 02:15:12 No, Sweden has really good Italian. Oh, let me talk about Italy. Dude, yeah, they have good Italian too. New York? We literally landed there with one night booked at our hotel and we were staying for a week and we were just going to just go with as it goes. Damn, with the flow. Wow.
Starting point is 02:15:32 Yeah, it worked out really well because we... I want to do that with just like with a camera. Yeah, you should. It's a fantastic time because we, we booked another, we ended up booking another night at that hotel. Then the next day, we got a night train to go up way north to this town called Lulio. And I think that's how you say it. Spelled crazy.
Starting point is 02:15:51 Sound crazy. Yeah. And bro, holy cow, it was so funny. So we got the night train where you had to sleep in the train, right? And it's like the smallest little thing ever. It's like, it's insane. It's like an incubation. incubation pod.
Starting point is 02:16:06 And there's three beds stacked on top of each other. And Mitchell and I got separated. So we both got two other roommates. And my people, I'm trying to remember. I had a guy that was, he was just a drunkard. And I had a drunkard in a businessman. Those were my two guys. And I remember I met with the drunkard in the cafe car.
Starting point is 02:16:32 And we were hooked on Balatro at that time as well. So we were playing that. And, um... What a vibe, dude. Yeah, seriously. And the drunker asked me for a charger, so I went and grabbed him a charger and he thought,
Starting point is 02:16:45 he thought I was fucking with him and I brought it back. He's like, what is this? And, um, and he's like, I don't know. There's a miscommunication somewhere and he, he almost like got mad at me, I think.
Starting point is 02:16:55 Oh my God. It was fine. And then we ended up being friends. And then in the nighttime, he, oh my gosh. When he was snoring, it was like, he was choking.
Starting point is 02:17:04 Like, at least it was swallowing his tongue and he was talking to sleep. You know when Patrick's like snoring? And like there's like a, fucking, there's like a lake of saliva. It was a lake of saliva around his mouth. Dude, it was nuts. And Mitchell apparently had a guy who just smelled so bad. And it's like, damn, poor guy.
Starting point is 02:17:20 And then Lulio was cool. This guy when we got to our hotel, he was just like, he literally just offered us free basketball game tickets because there was a basketball game the next day. But we were only staying for like a day so we couldn't go see it. But it was just like very kind of him to do. And that's how it was awesome. Because Stockholm there was no snow or anything.
Starting point is 02:17:40 It wasn't cold enough. But up in Lulio, there was snow everywhere. Nice. It was crazy. And then, yeah, we went back on the night train and it ended up paying extra so we could get the upgraded room so we could actually sleep well. And it did pay off. So if you're into sleep, I'd do that. If you're into sleep.
Starting point is 02:17:59 Yeah. You're into sleep. And then when we got back to Stockholm, that's, when the weekend began. So then we actually ended up going clubbing a bit. And we went to this one club. They's called the brawn, which means bridge or something.
Starting point is 02:18:18 And it's under a bridge. And we went up on the second floor. We were there for like an hour and a half. We got there as soon as the club opened. We were the only ones there. It was so funny. Oh, shit. Early to the club, bro.
Starting point is 02:18:29 I have this picture of the children. Early as shit. He's just there. We were literally the first ones there. It was hilarious. And then we noticed the music they were playing was so ass. And we were like, this can't be real. And the people that were there, they were just like a not good crowd either.
Starting point is 02:18:51 But then they had this off room that was shooting off. And we went in there. And they had freaking a GameCube. And people were playing Mario Kart. And we were playing Mario Kart with people for a little bit. And tab and drinks. And it was a good time. and then we were like, okay, let's go home.
Starting point is 02:19:05 But then as we're walking down the stairs, we hear like different music and we're like, wait, that's like real club music. Like, the vibe change. Yeah. And then we went into the wrong area of the club. We were in the club at all. We were in some different place.
Starting point is 02:19:19 And then we go through this little thing, this little curtain type deal. And there's people, the lights are way dark. There's an actual DJ with like physical, freaking records. Oh, like that's like, Final discs. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:33 Like spinning it and it was good music and people were just dancing and it was like, wait. Can you describe what the music was then before that was like ass? It was like Kendrick Lamar remixes. It was so bad. Have you ever heard of the Chinese remixes of like popular Yeats songs or Ken Carson? It's like the same drum loop over and over and over again. Yeah, that's basically what it was and I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 02:20:01 I really just couldn't believe it. downstairs was where the real shit was at. And we were dancing and holy cow, it was a good time. I did just compliment this group of girls' outfits. And one of them looked me up and down and made a face of disgust and then walked away. And it was like, oh, wow. But honestly, you know, if a foreigner, if an American, you know, came into my club and was trying to, like, I wasn't trying anything.
Starting point is 02:20:28 I was just generally just complimenting a night. Just wanted to engage in. in conversation with the Swedish native. But, you know, if I was in her shoes, you know, I can't blame her too hard. But I guess, like, the call. Just a little bit hard, not too hard. You know, her two other friends were very kind. They were very receptive, but she was not having it.
Starting point is 02:20:51 And, but then, oh my gosh, but then we leave the club. Dude, I'm picturing all of this perfectly. Yeah. I'm glad. This is so fun. We leave the club and it's like three in the morning at this point. And, you know, one of my goals of the trip was to like connect with a local and like, you know, really connect with someone that lives there.
Starting point is 02:21:16 And lo and behold, that didn't happen at the club, but while we're waiting for our train, this bloke like waltzes on in into the subway station. This block, dude. And he just looks so fire. Like his haircut is so good He has a very sharp face And um You know
Starting point is 02:21:36 His vibe was just fire And um He was like wearing a trench coat with a briefcase And And then um Yeah Fuck yeah It was like a hit man dude
Starting point is 02:21:47 What the fuck? And yeah And I was just And Mitchell was like Throwing away something or using the bathroom So it was just me there And then I was like Fuck it I'll go talk to this guy
Starting point is 02:21:57 So I walked up and I was like Dude I love your vibe Like you're your you're your whole outfit, how you look, you look awesome. And then he was like, dude, you look awesome as well. And his Swedish accent. And then we get to chopping it up. He's good friends with two Hollis.
Starting point is 02:22:12 And I'm like, and I'm like, wait, I'm good friends with Glave, if you know that guy. And he's like, really? And then we just start chatting and chatting and chatting. And then we exchange numbers. And he's like, dude, tomorrow, I'll take you out to the bars and with my friends and we'll go, we'll go party. And I was like, dude, fuck yeah. So then we have that set up for the next night. And just if I happen to bump into it, it's just crazy.
Starting point is 02:22:38 Gorgeous. And it didn't work out. Did you guys go? Yeah. That's a fucking scene. Yeah. That is a scene. The next night.
Starting point is 02:22:45 I forget what we even did the next day. We probably just rested all day because we were up so late. But then, you know, nighttime rolls around it Saturday night. And we go and meet him in like a very, I could tell it was a very local area. But he said like this, that strip of bar. bars was like rated one of the top in the world for like how just fire it is. And so we started off at this one place and he brought this, um, he brought his one friend. And it was just, we, we basically were with, um, him and his friend for the whole night.
Starting point is 02:23:16 But we at this first bar, we met this guy. Was, uh, was Mitchell still with you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was with me the whole time. What a great. Imagine going peeing and like, you come back. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:25 We have the whole, the whole, what the fuck has happened. But this guy Charlie and oh my gosh Charlie and Mitchell like got along so well Charlie bought Mitchell like five drinks It was so funny And um And I decided Or this girl
Starting point is 02:23:43 The friend of uh What was his name? Ruben his name was Ruben the guy that we met Um So Rubin's friend She offers me a Zen and is like I want to try it but it's not called a Zen but I'm just calling it as in but it's a European version
Starting point is 02:23:58 which are far stronger. And I was like, yeah, fuck it. I'll try it. Why not? Yolo? And so I put it up there, you know? And she's just like, if you start to feel like sick or dizzy, just spit it out and drink water. And I was like, okay, yeah, fair enough.
Starting point is 02:24:15 I know my limits. And, you know, lo and behold, I start feeling dizzy. And I'm like, okay, spit it out, drink water. I'm fine. But then we have some more drinks. Oh, my God, remember this. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:24:25 Yeah. We have some more drinks. And, you know, I'm having a great. time and we go into, then we venture to the next bar. And the next bar, I really like this next bar's vibe a lot. Like, it's just, it's smaller. And, you know, people came in that Rubin knew and it was just like the group was getting bigger and it was so sweet.
Starting point is 02:24:43 And then, um, and by then I've had a good amount of drink. So I'm, I'm pretty, I'm pretty fudged up. You're pretty loose. Yeah, pretty loose. Exactly. Well put. And, um, and then one of Rubin's other friends. that showed up later, who wasn't there for when I originally tried the Zen thing,
Starting point is 02:25:02 he was like, you want to try this? And I was like, you know, let me try it again. Maybe it'll be. Hey, YOL too, man. YOL too. And that was so bad. The combination of my drunkenness and the nicotine and whatever, it got me. And I was, I was like this on the, on the table for like, I don't know how long, but it was
Starting point is 02:25:28 enough for the security guard to come up and be like, hey, if you're going to be sick, go outside. And I was like, I'm fine, I'm fine. Just give me a second. And like, at that moment, I was like, I was so, I was tapped into Zen. Everything was darkness. I was just focusing on my breathing just to calm down because, you know, I did kind of feel myself getting way warmer. And then, but then he came back. He was like, you have to go outside. You have to go outside. I'm like, okay, I'll go outside. But then I went outside. And then the other security guard, he was like, if you go outside, you can't come back in. And I was like, oh, what? What the hell?
Starting point is 02:25:59 So, but the cold air did feel very nice. But then I, I'm like, okay, I have to go back in then because I can't leave my friends, you know? Yeah. So I go back in and I sit back down. And by then, everyone knows what's going on. Everyone knows I'm, like, feeling ill. So, and I'm trying to tap back into my Zen state because I really was coming back down and it was working. But then at that point, everyone knows.
Starting point is 02:26:18 Yeah. Everyone's, hey. Everyone starts touching me like, hey, are you okay, man? Like, it's all right. And I'm like, that throws off my Zen entirely. And um... Are you okay? And then by then I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 02:26:33 And then I stand up and I'm like, I'm about to throw up. I'm going to the bathroom. I don't even make it. And I just throw up everywhere. Oh, dang! I hate when that happens. But the freaking bartender, clutch-ass guy threw me a trash can.
Starting point is 02:26:49 And, um, and I caught it and then threw up the rest of it in that. But the initial one really was, it did go everywhere. Like that one time you throw up at our house. Yeah. That was so bad. You ate like candy and shit? I ate an entire bag of gushers like a big bag. Oh my god.
Starting point is 02:27:07 And all the syrup and sugar was in his bill. And Isaac was so clutch. Dude, I felt so I was actually an asshole grunk. And I still. Everybody left after I threw up. I was like, I'm going to leave a camera recording.
Starting point is 02:27:19 I'm going to be. Yeah. There is a video of grunk. Uh, no, from like the second point of view. It was like the second floor point of view. down and it was just like
Starting point is 02:27:29 fucking waterfall yeah that was bad yeah so what a day I threw up yeah and then I was like okay you're gnarly man I got to say yes they are kind of gnarly they are do you gnarly vomits I don't know I don't know I didn't used to but I guess
Starting point is 02:27:44 is there like a nice way not to is there like a better way to vomit like a whole bleh you guys ever seen that clip sorry this is just a minute the clip of the guy rapping and then he's like
Starting point is 02:27:55 vomit and he vomits Yeah, he vomits upwards back on his face and then he continues rapping. It's so gross. It's disgusting. Sorry if anyone's listening. I can't take that. Vomiting is funny as fuck to me. Nick has a,
Starting point is 02:28:10 yeah, dude. If you're throwing up around me, I, like, I'll help you, but like I'll be laughing. Yeah. Yeah. You did that to me once. You were helping me vomit one time and you were laughing the whole time.
Starting point is 02:28:20 It was kind of helping me though because I was like, oh, okay, I need this vibe though. Because like, if I hear someone laughing, I feel good. At least I'm vomiting and I'm like having a good time. I guess. I don't know. It's so fucking funny. See, I have a good time when I vomit. I can't lie.
Starting point is 02:28:32 Except for that one at your house. It's like a moment of surrender and you're just like, yeah. Find body of yours. Sorry. I surrender. I surrender. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 02:28:49 I learned that a very young age that I found out that vomiting was funny to me. Because I, it was, I was on a family vacation. and my dad had an ex-girlfriend and her kid, he actually had special needs. And so he would throw up, I guess, kind of he gets sick a little often. And like, the reason why the fact of him having special needs matters is because in the car, in, I'm in the back seat.
Starting point is 02:29:17 And then he starts throwing up. And I'm looking the other way trying not to laugh. And bro, I get yelled at because, like, he's throwing up any special needs. And so I'm like, no, it's not because he has... Oh, my God, dude. It's like a school. It's so fucking funny to me, bro. Wow.
Starting point is 02:29:36 I don't know why. It is kind of funny at the end of days. I don't know why. You just have to stop everything and you just... You just have to surrender everything you're doing. You are a prisoner to your vomit. You lose your free will. Everything stops.
Starting point is 02:29:54 You can't do a single thing. You were put on this. It's funny. It's funny watching beforehand, like the swallowing. Oh, my, I hate that part. That's the worst. You're fucked up for that one. That's just the salivating part.
Starting point is 02:30:07 I can't laugh at that. The swallowing part is like, oh, you know it's coming. I don't know, man. The look in the eyes is what like, I'm like, oh, fuck. The person is trying to focus on anything else. They look at the ground. They look at the ground. They're like, it has to be simple.
Starting point is 02:30:23 Bro, one time. Nothing complex. I had the swallows like so bad. like head over the toilet. I was prepared to throw up. My mouth was salivated. I was dripping saliva into the toilet. And then it just went away and I didn't throw up
Starting point is 02:30:35 and went back to bed. It was like, it's crazy like it's crazy because I know about myself the things that make me laugh. Like vomiting will 100% make me laugh. And then one thing that'll make me mad are monkeys. What the fuck? Like Isaac gets really aggressive and pissed off
Starting point is 02:30:48 about that one cat that runs up and licks the salmon that raw fish. As like eating. He's like, oh, shut the fuck. Dude, I can't stand monkeys that like, I just hate monkeys, like the little tiny ones.
Starting point is 02:30:59 Oh my god. Especially the ones that take those baths and they're like, they're looking so dumb with the stupid eyes. Come on. You're like one of those. You're part of the community. Yeah, you're in those YouTube groups. No, I'm not killing a monkey.
Starting point is 02:31:10 I just don't like that. I don't want to look at them. I'm not going to kill a one. You don't like the gentleman ones where it's like very polite, very long mustache. Those are fine. It's, it's just like the ones that like, they're like, I just don't like them, dude.
Starting point is 02:31:23 I don't know. They freak me out. I'm not one of those people that likes to watch. I promise. I don't like to watch them die. I just don't like looking at them. They just piss me off. But anyways,
Starting point is 02:31:35 went to Young Lean music video church and that was really cool. And then I went home. And basically the most important things that happened since then, probably I became a pizza boy at Wegmans. And...
Starting point is 02:31:52 Pizza boy? Pizza boy. Pizza boy. Pizza boy. I'm working at pizza. I'm working in the pizza department and it's awesome. And yeah, the road trip happened and
Starting point is 02:32:02 Pet Sounds is a fantastic album. And yeah, I have to pee. Absolutely. I have to pee too. Yeah. I have to pee, but I think it's fair for like 20 minutes.
Starting point is 02:32:15 You got to poop? I've just been farting for that. Damn, we were doing so good until we brought up pee and poop, man. That's great. What were we thinking with that? All right. I think it's fair to say that the podcast is good.
Starting point is 02:32:25 here. Now, I want to bring up real quick something for the viewers. Hey guys. I made an email. So before when we're doing the Iro podcast, I was doing this thing where I was asking you guys to, yeah, I'll talk to the folks. I was doing this thing where I was asking you guys to email at my business account, just any stories or any questions you guys had. Now, I want to do the same thing except I'm doing it now on a different email so that my fucking business is not, being flooded. So I made an email called the group chat box at gmail.com where you can email questions you got maybe that weren't answered here. We're just like stories because I got a lot of fucking stories about people crashing and like while listening to the podcast, a phenomenal amount
Starting point is 02:33:15 actually, a quiet amount. And so towards the end of the podcast episodes like podcast episodes, I'll be reading any ones that kind of stick out to me just because, you know, community, huh? Community. Talk about it. You boys look so dead. Nick, you look so dead. I'm feeling good.
