Hello, this is there from the future with the haircut now.
I just want to say something real quick.
We forgot to mention this at the very beginning of the podcast.
We do bring it up towards the very end and very briefly, but it is a cool thing.
Gamer subs right now is doing a thing where one out of ten tubs that you buy on the website using CodeGuru
comes with this cool, iridescent kind of look.
I'm going to see if the makeup thing.
Oh, it does work.
Okay, now the camera's focusing.
Sweet.
It has like a psychedelic, ASAP, Rocky, Grunk Adventure, LSD look.
And that is if you use code group and if you buy one of the lean tubs.
That is all I wanted to say.
I don't want to take up too much more of the time.
Please enjoy the podcast and please join our book club.
You'll get to hear more about that in like right now.
Okay.
Bye-bye.

No, I don't even think I have that brimless cap anymore.
Wow.
You just throw out.
Dude.
Wait, can we, can we like say that mom is kind of tapped in for that?
Yeah, yeah.
Honestly, the fact that she pulled that out of her brain.
She's like, oh, okay, you should dress up as bad bunny through the podcast.
Well, we brought it up recently, the baby little perp.
Why?
Why did we bring it up?
I know we brought it up recently.
I forget why.
But it was mentioned in the stratosphere recently.
What's the story behind Baby L. Perp?
It was.
You were there, Grunk, remember?
Grunk was not there.
It was in Vegas.
You're the inventor of Baby El Perp.
I didn't invent that.
I didn't invent that.
I didn't invent that.
No, it was Nick's attempt on his, like, verse.
Remember the music video that we left you out of purposefully?
Because we didn't fuck with you that day?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
It was a song.
It was a lean song, remember?
and like you had to leave so you couldn't like you could you had to leave early so
dude that trip is crazy because that was like the second trip that year where you had to leave
like 48 hours after landing that I'll never forget the Tampa one now it was like
dude Tampa this levels Tampa was crazy we were in Tampa for 12 hours yeah drunk landed
started bullshit on a scooter broke his elbow and then left to go back home bro that's what
happened like we need to bring back to where ridiculous
Real quick
I was going through our email
And I found a cool little email
That I think I think we'll all feel
Empowered by
And very like
I need some
Whoa
Okay
I need some juices
Yeah
Okay check this out
You ready? Everyone ready? Everyone ready?
I'm so close
I'm ready
So it goes like this
Below
So basically
I shoot air pistol
which is a pretty niche sport in America.
If you remember that meme of the Turkish guy from 2024 Olympics, that's the sport.
There's a big competition on the 14th that if I do well in, I could get into nationals
where I could win scholarships from schools that offer this sport.
The podcast ties in because I shoot every day and I listen while I shoot.
While at first, this was just for fun, I noticed I started being a lot more focus as I had to almost tune the podcast.
podcast out because it makes me laugh. Now, I can really lock in and just turn my brain off and my PR has gone up almost 20 points since I've started doing this. Big things. Big thank yous. If you ever end up winning anything or if I ever end up winning anything, I credit at least a small tiny bit to y'all. I will let you know how it goes. Much love from the Western. What? Let's try to. Oh, hey. We need to do an exercise. We need to do an exercise right now. If you're if you're listening to this.
this, if you're listening to this, please put your headphones in and, okay, here we go.
We're going to do, we're going to do an exercise. We're going to let you focus in.
Okay. Okay. Look deep, look down the range. Take a deep breath. Lock that elbow.
Okay. So the wind is blowing. Steady. Take it easy.
No, not yet. Not yet. No. Oh, no, not yet. Oh, no.
Okay. Okay. All right, steady. Sorry, I broke on accident.
No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
Wait, not yet.
Okay.
And did you get it?
Did you do it?
How much better did you do?
Yeah, did you improve?
You did, but how by how much did you improve?
By 20 points, maybe?
20 or 30 points.
And segue back into why I'm mad.
Boom, 30 points was about what the Seahawks had over the Patriot.
Take time with Super Bowls.
What is going on in America?
I don't think anything matters anymore.
No, it doesn't.
Ooh, I found the guy who did.
didn't like the halftime show.
I love the halftime show.
I was shaking ass on my couch, bro.
What's wrong?
You couldn't understand a little Espanio?
No, I did.
I understood every single,
what's the Spanish?
Let me guess.
Your TV subtitle said speaks in Spanish.
They did, yeah.
I heard,
I heard,
let me guess.
You looked at Larry and said,
what's he saying?
He did the,
I do.
I feel like people watch the Super Bowl more
for the halftime show nowadays in the football.
They do.
And the commercials,
but the commercials are so.
Boles sucked.
So bad.
The commercials weren't even funny, dude.
It was like AI and like it was AI.
Dude.
It got into singing along a karaoke crypto.
Kid,
that all was kind of crazy.
Where the hell's puppy monkey baby?
I'll admit.
The karaoke one was kind of,
it worked.
Did we all miss the Mike Tyson one?
What was that one?
I was so fat,
nasty.
I was eating in a pool of nacho teas like when I woke up
every day.
I was eating Twizzles.
Was I watching the right?
Big Bill?
Yeah, what the fuck?
I never saw that.
Dude, it was the funniest thing ever.
He was, like, in black and white with his big old fucking tattoo.
He was like, I used to be such the fucking thud.
Like, I hated everything.
He didn't say that.
No, maybe not.
No, he was like, I was so fat and nasty.
I was eating three times of ice cream every day.
He got the ice cream.
What was the ad?
I don't know what the point was.
I forgot already.
It was like protein ice cream.
Maybe?
I can eat ice cream, but this time I'm actually.
They helped me.
They've made me a fat lot.
I couldn't read the logo that popped up at the end
because there were tears in my eyes from laughing at.
Oh, fine.
Well,
the good thing is Mr. Beast had
an advertisement.
He did?
He did.
He did.
I don't know.
It was in promoting a fucking puzzle.
Oh,
for like a million dollars.
Yeah.
And they were like,
you could join.
Dude,
I saw you guys see freaking I show speeding.
Oh,
yeah.
The med of the ray bands.
Yeah.
That was sick.
What are there?
commercials.
Let's got you.
I don't know.
That was good.
That was good.
No, but that was good.
No, but that was good.
I just remembered that the very dystopian one.
It came right after the bad bunny performance and it was like two robots dancing in a disco.
Oh my God.
And they were like sharing a drink.
Svedka, listen, marketing.
Yeah, it was VEDCA.
Whoever did that never ever again.
That was the most-
ELEET.
Never ever make ads or do anything for a living every again.
Yeah, I don't even want Svedka anymore.
I know, I didn't want it to be good.
with, but now it's like anti.
That was an anti-ad.
You did a great job pushing me the other way.
I'm going with you to do something.
This is why Greg Goose to Goat.
How much they paid for that ad slot, bro.
And how much it paid for the ad cell?
Which was probably fucking free because it was all AI generated.
They made max level profit.
Hey, at least we didn't say like a Coca-Cola advertisement that was all AI.
Remember the last one that they did?
Yeah.
They did it in Christmas.
They did it in Christmas.
And they did another one.
Did they do a cool one that was a yeah not not for this dude can we talk about the fucking the Pepsie doing the polar bears
Yeah that was crazy dude the polar bear was at the game. Did you see that?
They had him on the wait was there you I'm not kidding you I'm being serious
Yeah, he had box seats he was like yeah yeah it was like two it was like two polar bears
They had a little not about football
No it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not oh my god it's crazy it's every year it's like even more more
more about advertisements and entertainment performances rather than the actual football game itself.
Imagine being like a little boy who wants to grow up and be like NFL football star
makes to the Super Bowl and like you finally get there and you realize it's not about your hard
work in the game at all.
It's politics and the script.
That's all it is.
You just crushed.
Yep.
When you find out that you have to lose the game because Drake Mays has to have a comeback
next year.
So there was.
I'll say, I'll say this.
Yeah.
The football game might as well just been Thursday night.
It was.
It felt like a Thursday night.
It was just not good.
It was not a good game.
Shout out.
I'm so happy all those people that bet on the Patriots lost money.
Okay.
Because why would you even bet on the Patriots?
Why would you bet?
They had like the easiest year ever.
They were like no one was good in their in their division.
Hey, that's why I watch Wednesday morning football.
I don't know about you guys.
That one was cooking in the oven for a minute.
Tuesday afternoon kind of, it's pretty different.
It's a little different.
They hit a little harder when they're a little seat of press.
That's why I watched Tuesday evening
Soccer
You're just like
Exactly
Football
Dude
Well 1.2 billion people
Do watch the Super Bowl
And it's bigger than soccer
No it is not
That is not true
No it is
There was a picture on Twitter
Where it was like the
World Cup and then the Super Bowl
And they just swapped the numbers
So it was a 1.2 billion people
Watch the Super Bowl and
100 million people watch
World Cup
And it's like
And this is a
why this is the greatest sport of all time.
Because look.
I saw like a fake news announcement.
It was like breaking.
The Super Bowl just broke 7 billion views.
Wow.
Wow.
I was one of them.
I was tapped in, bro.
Okay.
We're all watching.
I was on,
wait, were you guys on Paramount or whatever it's called?
What was it?
Where was the streamed on?
Peacock.
Peacock?
We were on peacock.
Well, my TV doesn't work.
So I had to watch on my phone.
My TV burnt out.
I just got done disassembling my TV yesterday.
Oh, that's right.
You did mention that your OLED fried the bed.
Yeah.
I can't even happen.
Okay, so get this.
You hire somebody to get inside and fixing it.
No, so this is what happened.
I bought that TV about two years ago, and I got a warranty for it.
And then tell me how this TV goes bad just as the warranty for two years expires.
Oh, because they designed it that way.
Yep.
I call it Best Buy.
I'm like, hey, Best Buy, how much is going to cost?
130 for them to come out and take a look at it.
And then it's $150 plus the parts for when they do want to fix it.
And I was like, and then they, oh, do, the worst part is when they go, and that's the best buy.
That's the best buy.
They have to.
Well, you know, they're obligated to say that.
To my house.
They have to.
And then the company that I had the extended warranty through, I called them up and I said,
hey, can I get an extended warranty again and then have this fix?
And he's on the phone.
Yeah, you have to wait 30 days though for pre-existing conditions. I'm like so I would have to wait I would have pay for it
And then wait 30 days to have my TV fixed and he's like well yeah or you could just buy a new TV and just transfer the coverage
I'm like why the fuck would I buy a new TV and then transfer the coverage I wouldn't need coverage
That expired? What are we saying? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what he's saying so I was like yeah he was really predatory on the phone
He was like yeah well I was like I know where you
sneaky little eyebrow
looking at you
dude yeah bro
he was like he was like praying on me
trying to like get me to buy
the stupid extended warranty
I hope you're gonna be okay
nice
why are you just
why are you just praying
seriously really
if you need us to like step in
and telling him back off
just let us know
yeah yeah I was I was really uncomfy
to be honest
I bet
but I pushed through
I persevered I hung up the phone
after politely telling him no
and fuck off three times
and then I decided to take the TV
put it onto my
living room table and I just disassembled
that hoe. I took it apart
I took out the fucking power supply board
I figured it out I figured it out and I just
disassembled that whole ever since he took apart a car
he thinks he can do anything
dude
I will
alright you know what
don't make a mess now
Benton was really sick and I just disassembled that hoe
I took out every organ to fucking sign out
which is you were
I'm sure I disassess
The hell, man.
So right now on my desk, his pelt, yeah, his kidney right here.
I was looking at that.
And then his heart.
Don't work.
He has them all hooked up to machines.
So it's all like working.
Yeah.
Beep.
Is that the fucking motherboard of the TV?
Is that the motherboard of the TV or some shit?
It's, that's how.
Oh my God.
Nick.
So, okay, this is why it's the worst by.
Here you have the CPU.
It's not even.
No, that's the worst by.
That's the worst by.
Wait, put that in your computer.
You get like a bunch of...
True.
This is the power control board.
Please, Nick, put on your computer.
You get an extra drive out of that.
A whole bunch.
You can watch TV and play.
It turns,
it turns your monitor into a TV.
Oh my God.
Please put it in.
This is the piece that was broken.
That's, you see that sidewards
sideways pin piece?
How did it happen?
That's the blown capacitor.
Dude, that looks like a.
Cool town.
Like, I love to live there.
It's a blown capacitor.
It's the blown capacitor.
Oh, yeah.
I opened the TV and I was like, oh, okay, this is not that hard.
I unscrew this, unscrew this.
And I took it out and I bought a new one for $120 bucks on eBay.
They're just selling that.
Bro.
Off eBay?
Wait.
You said you want to pay for like $150?
You'd pay $120 a dude.
Oh, no, $130.
$130 for diagnostic.
And then for them to come out and actually fix it another $150 plus the
parts. So it would have been like 500 bills.
It also would have been 30 days, right?
Well, yeah.
If I went through Best Buy to get the best buy, then it would have been $500.
Well, no, because, hey, Geeks Squad is reputable source.
They're cool.
They're cool. They're gone through better by.
They're not, they're not qualified technicians.
Should have gone on best.
I don't think they are.
I'll be real.
I think they're just guys with a padflip manual.
Well, they're not certified, like, technicians for like those specifics.
they just kind of like Isaac said they kind of rip it apart and kind of like do that thing where they stand in the server you know what I don't know
this one's outside of our area of expertise yeah I don't know we're gonna have to dude I think that the reason why rebuilding that car definitely gave me like the balls to be like dude what the fuck is behind the TV in the first place so I'd open it up and I'm like oh okay it's just a bunch of shit and I just took this out
join us next week where we disassemble the fridge behind Willie yeah that'd be fun that actually be really fun look at the back of that
Whoa.
Dude, just frame that.
That looks so sick.
Either way, either side looks really cool.
Let's give it away.
I'm down.
Yeah, sign it.
They're going to have all your login information from that TV once they plug it up.
You're going to siphon it.
All of your cookies, man.
Guys, it's the power supply.
It's not, it's not the mother.
That's not the M.B.
It's not the M.B.
Is that the P.
Fatherboard?
I was at the power supply.
It's the power board.
My power supply is like a box.
Power control board.
PCB.
Huh?
My power supply is like a box.
The power supply on an OLED is like miles better than standard TVs.
Yeah, so this is this black box right there.
That's where the outlet goes into.
And it warns me where my thumb is.
It says caution high voltage.
Oh, yeah.
It's pretty good.
So where are your TV channels stored on that?
Yeah.
Hardware, huh?
Where's it at?
Where's that?
Where's that part?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Is Cartoon Network in one of those weird little threads,
little spools on there.
You got Hulu on there and you're logged in?
Anyone in the comments that's probably like into PCBs would probably be like,
oh,
yeah,
yeah,
but you know what?
I know that that's not supposed to be fucking turned sideways.
That's for dang sure.
What am I supposed to look?
Oh, the purple one.
Yeah, dude,
that one's drunk.
Oh my god.
Just move purple.
A bit tipsy.
Just moving back.
Yeah, just go.
Well, the thing is as well,
there was like this brown sort of like,
juicy sort of thing that was inside and that's apparently
Bro, so you tell me it you might have opened
your TV to like battery acid?
It's like, it was like capacitor.
Capacitor acid. Why'd you eat it?
Yeah, I looked it up.
Dude, these, these, uh, these earbuds
have like green goo coming out of them.
That's like, you wax, bro.
Yeah, it was like, it was like, clean your damn ears, bro.
It was like right there.
It was coming out of this part.
It was like green goo and I looked it up.
but it's a common thing where like the...
It sucks that earwax out of here and like puts it down the wire and out the track.
Well, no, it's like, it's like, people were like, yeah, it's probably going to fuck up in like a few minutes if you plug it in and use it.
It was really gross.
I thought something spilled in my backpack because I had it in my backpack and it's not.
And I, dude, when electronics start to like spew really gross liquids, uh-uh.
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
No boy, no.
It's like, is that natural?
Is this organic?
Probably not. Probably not. Probably not. I think it's human-made errors.
Yeah. Dude. Yeah, I... Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
I was about topic switch, so continue.
Oh, I was going to just say last thing, I've been very careful with touching this,
because I remember reading a long time ago that PCBs, they can still hold charge.
So, like, these battery-looking things are the capacitors,
they can still have, they can still have, like, deadly voltage in them still.
Deadly. Put your tongue on it.
Dude, would have, Benzel just jumped up your desk instead on it?
Yeah.
What if Bentto stood up on business and then shocked himself to death and turned into like the cat from Christmas vacation?
Dude, I think that'd be really fucking.
This is my, uh, my, my charger for my phone currently.
Oh, what the fuck?
What are you this?
What is with you guys?
What is?
Okay, wait, remember when I fucking remember my cables at my X-O-Wark?
What the fuck is happening?
I have it.
What the what are you guys doing this this just happened because I think I like stepped on the thing and then it like got clipped on my bed frame and then it just broke but it's like fun because it's like a puzzle still works though it's like a puzzle see look it's like same thing is that from Apple?
yeah it is oh wow you could store you could store hella weed in that and then travel with that shit.
Yeah, I know.
I don't even smoke.
I don't even smoke.
Smoker's taking notes.
They'd be like everything that you have.
If I was the smoker, I would be the most dubious smoker.
Ooh, because you would know how to hide it.
You probably have some shit underneath that hat of yours.
I would travel and all my line on my XLR cable would be weed.
Like everything, I could just like snip it.
I would snip it and I'd smoke it.
What if you guys saw me do this, right?
I take off the pop filter and then I just light it.
Dude, I'd get so I.
I'd get a little bit.
Oh, baby.
Dude, I, that thing that's, that I just showed you, it was plugged in.
And I, um, I was trying to get it like the, the outside thing came off.
The guard came off.
And then I was like, oh, shit, got to unplug it.
And then I didn't turn off the like, the power supply thing.
And I just shocked myself with like real voltage.
Oh my God.
Wait.
Did I hear you guys?
I think I did tell the story.
Dang it.
What?
Well, it was basically, I went on this website.
Okay, I had a science fair.
I think it was eighth grade or seventh grade.
And I did this like circuit board thing with a breadboard and a bunch of cables.
And like I had these like, I had this like reader.
So I had like alligator clips and I put it on a band with water.
I don't know.
It was basically I was trying to see the electrolytes and drinks.
That was like my whole fucking project.
So when I got the breadboard and like I got like a kit.
So he came with like little light bulbs like like a like it's.
It's like a red light with two prongs that you can put on the breadboard.
And they just changed the fucking video.
I was saying.
Chase the fucking video.
This baby is being like baptized in dog shit.
And puppy, bro.
I'm like,
what the hell's going on, though?
I was trying to listen to Larry.
I was watching these dogs like piss all over this pool.
And now there's like baby being dumped.
What are you guys doing?
Can we skip?
We just watch something else.
I was like.
That's what it's fours the horizon.
5 gameplay.
That's a good one.
Horizon 4.
There's my search bar.
Where are we?
What is this?
Oh, it's you too.
Oh, God.
See how I'm going to figure the
Electrolites.
Okay.
Electrolites.
Yeah, so,
uh,
and yeah,
so when I got the kit, right,
I was like supposed to follow the,
like, some instructions or whatever,
but I was like,
oh,
this is kind of fun because you just,
you plug in the battery and then it lights up the whole board.
And then anywhere you put the,
light, it gives it like different types of power.
And so I didn't really know what I was doing.
But imagine I'm in my bedroom and I have this little board.
I have a battery.
And then I'm like moving this prong around with the light bulb.
And then all the fucking sudden I plug into like these like two slots and it pops.
And then I smell and it smells really bad.
I'm like I'm like, I look at my son.
I'm like, oh my God.
Did I like, did it hit me?
Like, am I hurt?
And then I see all the glass on the ground like that.
Like it's just laid out.
And then it smells really bad.
I'm like oh oh and I was like oh I probably shouldn't show this to my mom or anything like that it's like clean it up
And then I did it again afterwards
You didn't learn your lessons bro? I didn't learn my shit
Was it the light bulb air that smelled bad? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was whatever the fuck popped and then whatever came out of that light ball
It smelled really bad
Yeah, no literally it was just like
Wait the light ball? Yeah
the little
Mercury, bro.
Oh, maybe.
Isn't that one in the light bulb?
Not supposed to be able.
No, I think it's like an EM.
It's one of the EM,
cat,
cadmium.
I'm looking it up.
What's in light bulbs?
Am I too sure what's in light bulbs?
I don't know what that's.
It's, uh,
uh,
internal component.
Okay.
In candideast.
Halogen.
Halogen.
Collagen.
Collagen.
Collagen.
Colligens.
How do lightballs work?
Uh.
Halogen bulb.
This is too much.
Halogen,
halogen light bulb.
Tungsten filament.
No.
Glass mount.
Incandescent.
Yep.
We got it.
There is one thing I wanted to,
well,
someone wanted to inquire something from you,
Grunk.
Books still.

I was like,
you ever seen that,
ever seen that picture?
That,
ever seen that one video?
And it's like,
um,
oh,
damn.
Yeah.
So he was like,
he kept trying to bring up
reference.
Whoa, whoa.
There was actually like a bubble building
in my nose.
That was very weird.
I swear I saw like a string.
It like blocked my breathing.
Excuse me on that.
He was trying to bring up a reference
or he was trying to reference something
and he couldn't remember for the life of him.
It was the millennial burger.
It was a little bit.
Yeah, millennial burger.
I was like, you ever seen the millennial burger?
Yeah.
It's like as you're buying a $20 burger
and $9.99 garlic fries,
but they're like that's a lot of that.
he couldn't remember it
I was like you'll be such a funny
ass stand-up act where like
imagine one of our videos where the punishment is to do stand-up
and he's like
you guys ever see that
oh shit
what was it?
What was it?
What was it?
Yeah y'all ever seen that one thing
it goes like um
it's like about a burger
yeah you're snapping
and you're like oh
and then I was laughing at him
hold on hold on
I was laughing at Nick
and I was making fun of Nick
and then I was trying to break up around
I was like, I know what you're talking about, dude.
It's like that, it's when they reference that one song and it's like, uh, dang, what is a song?
Dang, what is the song?
And then I'm like, fuck.
And then I was like, imagine we're a duo and we're up on stage.
And we just forgot all the jokes.
And you pull out your phone and you're like, oh, man, hold on, y'all.
It's in my Instagram likes.
Hold on.
Give me one.
Yeah, we're going on.
I know I have it here.
I know I have it.
I saved it.
I saved it.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Just give me one second.
It's like, and then as it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's
the person's waiting, you're like, oh shit, man, the moment's passing.
Hold on a second.
Wait.
Or it's like, as you're watching through your like feed, you're like, oh wait, no, okay.
You guys ever seen this other one?
This is like totally different, but this other one is totally distracted by it.
Yeah, but it's like this one works.
Yeah, yeah, like that one.
I finally found it and it's just at that one I was trying to think of was the, uh, the we are
young.
That little parody song.
We are young.
That's right.
That's right.
Fire in my soul.
Dude, that guy's so good.
I love him.
The reason why Larry said that because he was like, oh, it's the same song.
That's the same, like, genre.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That, like, upbeat, like, boom, boom.
I told Larry, I was like, imagine there was a podcast episode where we all just could not remember what we were trying to reference.
Yeah, we all forgot all of our topics we're trying to remember.
Why was that even brought up?
Because Nick had a joke.
Oh.
Oh, I was just talking.
I don't remember why.
I wanted to show him the millennial burger video.
We were talking about something.
You sprung up and you're like,
have you seen that millennial thingy?
And then that's where that led to that.
So, you know, the videos where it's like a waiter
with a man bond and a flannel shirt at like a
small slider joint.
And they're all like 30 bucks.
Yeah.
They have a black gloves.
Yeah.
They look like that.
Yeah.
Move the text.
Move the text.
Why is the text there?
Move that.
I know.
When the handheld is $24.73 and fire at the burger project by two guys and one crazy dream.
Yeah.
Two guys.
Yeah.
And then you look at the wall and it's like our story.
And then I said, I sent this video to.
or yesterday with this song playing yeah here wait go go to the group chair real quick
dude it's the same you all ever you all ever played um oh i see um what is this video um um
um you ever heard of this uh like word association game and this okay well it's basically like
you count down three to one and then you all say a random word and then based on those words
said, you all try to come and guess the same work.
Okay.
You'll pause.
Who would try that?
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, I have a story related to this.
So, yeah, okay.
Three, two, one.
Pineapple.
Peanuts.
It's always food.
We all did food.
Wow.
Wait, I did peanuts.
Pineapple right now.
We're awesome.
Corn, pineapple, peanuts, and pickle and what?
Corn, pineapple.
I heard pizza.
Someone said,
No one say pizza
3, 2, 1
Food
Robin
No wait, hold on
Hold on
You gotta let us brace
You have to let us brace now
All right
Well I'm not gonna think about food anymore
Okay, yeah, yeah yeah
I have an answer
Okay
Okay, wait
Three
Okay, I got it
Three two one
Oil
Balloon
Balloon
What
It's hard
It's hard
over Discord
And with five
people. I said oil.
I said fries.
I said plane.
I said balloon.
Gronk, you said food?
I said fruit.
Where did balloon come from?
Why do you want me to say?
Are we supposed to relate
to the words that were said?
Oh!
Excuse me then.
Are you saying
that eventually we're all going to lead to the same word?
Yes.
Okay, that's the path.
So I try again.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, so we said what?
Fruit balloon, oil, fries.
And Nick, what did you say?
I said plane.
Plain.
Like an airplane?
Or like plane, like plane chips.
Wait, it correlates.
Balloon in the air, airplane.
Oh, and then planes need oil.
Plains need oil.
Okay.
And the fries are in the oil.
Okay, okay, okay.
We have it.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Engine.
Tires.
Are we doing fruit?
Are we?
What did I just fucking miss?
I said orange.
Larry said engine and I said tires.
Oh, wait.
I said airport.
I didn't even say a word because my word was about to be fours of five.
Well,
wait,
I said orange though.
Am I not doing fruits anymore?
You're supposed to do it based off.
Oh,
the last thing I said.
They're so stupid.
Oh,
yeah.
Well,
now I'm all fucked up because now I'm going to say another food and you guys are on metal.
Sparkle, dude.
Oh my God.
No.
Okay.
Can we restart?
Yeah.
Let's restart with like no
Previous anything.
Yeah, nothing.
Yes.
Okay.
I'm ready.
Three.
Two.
One.
Cloud.
Window.
Earth.
Cloud.
Cloud.
Cloud.
Taco.
Taco.
I said.
Taco.
Earth.
Earth.
Cloud.
Earth.
Cloud.
Gateway.
Window.
So now I say a word that I'm
close with,
no,
we're trying to all
get to the same point.
It's not that hard
to understand
at all,
literally at all.
So imagine we have
five,
right?
We have five words.
We need one word
that describes all of them
or like,
not described,
but like,
what are you guys?
Look like that,
Nick,
what is happening?
Am I tripping?
Yeah.
Whoa.
He just like woke up.
That was strange.
Um,
were you paying attention to Nick at all
when I was just talking?
Yeah,
it was.
Repeat back to me.
I'm on my phone,
Blame game.
Tell me the rules then that I just described.
We're trying to,
what's it?
It's, um...
You just got fucking caught with your pants now.
Jerk me off, dude.
Jerk me off.
What the hell?
The five words said are supposed to give us the clue
to come together on one word.
We're all supposed to say the same one.
Dude, what?
We're what?
So based off of what was said previously, we hear something.
We're like, okay, that's been there.
Yeah.
And you say again.
Murder Willie challenge.
What are the words again?
Cloud window.
Gatorade.
Gatorade.
Earth.
I said taco.
Taco.
So now I think about all those things and I come up with something.
With five people, it's really hard to do.
We can do it.
Dude, I'm sorry, but I'm going to, I imagine it was getting an email.
Hi, I'm a surgeon.
And when I'm working on people's hearts, I listen to the group.
podcast and the one time when you guys were doing that game
I actually saved two lives instead of one
Wow
And by the way
My word was Taco the whole time
See Taco really throws off this whole round I think
What the hell dude?
Yeah I kind of just bullshited
But I got a word
I got a word
Okay I also have a word
I got a big twist
Are we restarting or are we thinking
No we're going off from here
Okay.
I got a big twist.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Three, two, one.
Air.
Food truck.
Atmosphere.
What the fuck.
I like where Tanger's that was that.
Food truck,
atmosphere,
oil.
I said,
I said shoes.
Airline and shoes.
Dude.
Well,
atmosphere.
Restaurant has to have good atmosphere.
Okay.
Planes are in the atmosphere.
Yeah.
And,
And also at restaurants, you hear a lot of, a lot of, a lot of shoes hit in the floor.
It's actually very smart.
A lot of shoes hit in the sphere.
Yes.
You know.
Okay.
So where are you having to do?
Atmosphere.
I forget what I said.
Atmosphere, shoes, oil.
Oil again, bro.
What, dude.
There's been oil like three different times.
Oh.
Um.
Dude, this guy sucks at driving.
He does kind of.
He's in every corner.
Um.
Okay.
I have
I don't know
let me just tell the story
I think I'm ready
for the funny story
so basically
it was
it was me Camden
and Nick
my
IRL friend
y'all know him
um
and we were playing it
and
we said
science
joint
experiment
and
college experience
and it was so
funny
because
uh
Kempna was like
Science Experiment Joint
Science Experiment Joint
Like y'all remember that science experiment joint
And then we said 3-2-1
And then we all said lab
And it was so funny
It was so funny
A science experiment joint
We all used to go to
Lab
All three in unison
That would be hard
That whole sequence we just had
Was like that fucking guy
That picture of the guy
With the pickax
Like going to the diamond
He's like, Cameron said that
And we all just were like, oh!
It was so funny.
That one size to experiment join we used to hit up all the time.
All the time, freshman year.
We were there.
Lamb.
So do we suck at the game or is it just hard with three people?
It's hard with five people.
I mean, yeah.
But also, I don't think we're very good at.
We're not keeping up with it.
We can try again.
No.
Let's try one more time.
One more. One more. One more time's sake.
I have a good one.
Okay. I have a good one too.
Any word. Any word. Any word. Any word. Got it. Anything.

Okay.
Correlating, yep, finding relations.
Yes, you check your phone on Twitter.
You see Punks and Tani, Phil, the Groundhog.

I do have a word for this.
I do too.
What?
Idiocracy.
No, dude.
Come on.
I'm going to bet, I'm going to bet Grunk and I have the same word.
Oh, what?
A word for this?
What we just described?
Yeah.
Let me really quickly.
Let me quickly gather my thoughts.
I got nothing, but I'm going to throw a word out there.
Was it phone?
Yeah, I'm going to throw a range.
I can tell you.

Okay.
Again?
Three, two, one.

Why did you say winter?
It didn't said already.
I didn't get the correlation at all between season and fall.
Oh, fuck.
Wait, wait, what's in the first round?
At all?
Are you sure if you don't get it at all
Don't well I do get it
But I didn't know what the word to say

Oh my god
Yo I'll give up more
Yeah
Do we have any books to pick from
To put on a wheel and spin
Oh no we don't
No I didn't do my homework I'll be real
I'll be straight up on.
I'll do my homework.
I'm sorry, there's 50,000 emails, but the Super Bowl is on.
I'll make a wheel.
I'll make a wheel right now.
Do it.
All right, let's talk about something while he's making a wheel.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just tell me some, tell me some book names.
Dude.
Well, there is an email that I have here where this person picked this out individually
and they gave us a book to read or a recommendation.
What?
Well, take all those books and tell me them so that we can throw me into a wheel.
I'm just curious.
Yeah, that too.
Can you what?
I want to know what it was picked for each person.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, I read it out.
It's a, yeah, I'll read out the email.
So it goes, hello to the beautiful group chat.
I want to start off by saying that I've been following you guys since 2021
and I have loved every moment ever.
Anyways, I know I'm a tad bit late on this,
but I wanted to give some book recommendations to each one of you
and a bit more tailored to your tastes maybe.
Larry Boy, try reading Creative Act by Rick Rubin.
Classic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, okay. I see, I see this is going.
Scar tissue by Anthony Kytis.
Both talk a ton about creativity and unlocking all that within.
I have no clue if you like red hot chili peppers,
but they both fall into the music.
So if you do that, that's a plus.
Also, since I have noticed that you kind of like David Lynch's work,
I suggest some light Murakami like Sputnik Sweetheart.
Okay.
I read that one.
Okay.
Oh, you already got that.
It's what?
And bookworm.
Gay as shit.
I mean that too.
Okay, well, this next one's for Grunkey.
Since you talked about Murakami in the previous podcast,
I think you really got to try out either the 1Q84 trilogy or the rat series,
which is actually four books.
Hear the Winsing Pinball, Wild Sheep Chase, and Dance, Dance, Dance in this order.
I read the Wild Sheep's Chase and I didn't know it was like a series,
but it felt pretty separate.
It was pretty good.
Oh, my God.
I have creative act by Rick Rubin,
the one Q-8 trilogy,
and then the RAT series.
Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Is that right so far?
Scar tissue by Anthony Kitis, K-I-E-D-I-S.
Scar tissue by Anthony K-A-I-D.
No, K-I-E-D-S.
Can't you just paste the email on like the discode?
That's too much work.
I could, but it's going to,
I'm recording my screen.
I don't fuck up to everything.
It's not too much more.
I bought a book two months ago.
I'm still on page four.
Tanner wants Captain underpants.
All right.
Next one is Tanner Tee.
It said,
no pictures,
no deal.
Diary of a wimpy kid.
Tanner Tee,
they started with,
man,
this might sound goofy as hell.
But honestly,
if you haven't already,
I suggest you read The Hobbit,
since it's a very fun,
Whimsical.
I've read that three times already.
You've got to come up with new stuff.
I've read that book three times.
Okay.
Next one.
Did it for fun?
Did it for fun?
And then the funest time, the third time.
Isaac Hume.
Lo Kim, I feel like you're the hardest one to talk about.
But since you like some dope and epic shit,
I got to suggest the...
Captain Underpants.
The Iliad.
Diary of a Winpy Kid, Roger, Roger,
What?
The Iliad.
The Iliad?
Or,
oh my God,
oh my God.
Or not as much,
but still the Odyssey
by my homeboy Homer.
How do you read the Odyssey?
I don't know how you managed to take a
two books that I had to read.
I was,
I had to.
Yeah.
Dude,
I remember not fudging with it.
Dude,
I'm ready for my.
I had to read the Odyssey.
All right,
Willie.
From all the episodes that you guys have talked about books,
I have
gathered that you were not a big reader.
Or yet, at least.
So I will put you on game with how I started reading and what helped me.
I started reading.
Charlotte's Webb.
There's going to be some bottom of the barrel as recommendations.
I started.
Games divergent.
Do I?
How am I the one that comes off like I don't fucking read of everyone in this entire video?
Hey, what are you trying to fucking say, dude?
Now.
I started reading Men Without Women by Murakami, which is a collection of short and incredible stories that are easy to read.
I have that one too.
Pick up at any time.
I read like one story.
And one thing about Marikami, you'll notice all of his stories have the same components.
It's like some schmuck, 30-year-old nobody nothing guy.
And then he meets like multiple women that shake up his life and like changing forever.
Killing commentador, the book I have, he's, he's literally just a 30 year old schmo just like moved out.
Yeah, yeah.
He has nothing going for him.
And then ladies come along and shake up his life.
It's a good, like, he's like, yeah, you can stay at this mansion to, if you get back in the feet.
I'm sorry, your wife left.
Yeah.
And they're all, they're great books, but you notice a formula.
But they're still really good.
That sounds like it falls into the genre I dub as yeah, fucking right.
Yeah, fucking right.
I'm so sorry.
In your wildest dreams.
We're starting a book club and we have some interesting books so far.
Let's get some more.
Okay.
Yeah, I want to throw in.
Let me.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then we can all get the book and then the viewers if you want to join us.
He's boots at the same.
We can have a very end segment for like 15 minutes at the end of the podcast where we talk about the book.
The book.
That we read.
We have to read every week.
We have to read a chapter.
I've been wanting to read this book called Invisible Cities.
by Italo Calvino and it's like basically,
I think like it's like every chapter or something
is a different conceptual city.
Like one city they don't have legs
and they like float or something
and then another one is like there's no sound or something.
I have no idea, but it sounds kind of interesting.
That does sound really interesting.
Did you guys ever read the book City of Ember?
No.
In school?
All the ladies did.
Did I be honest,
the only book I read in my house.
in my whole school lifetime ever
was the one where
he made a movie adaptation
and Leonardo DiCaprio was holding up that glass
and he's like, oh, the great Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the only book I remember
ever reading my school life.
Everything else, yeah, I didn't agree.
Dude, okay, we have to add into this
Dogman, the Scarlet Shetter.
It's a graphic novel from the creator
of Captain Underpair.
Yes.
Yo.
Dog man.
Dogman.
Dogman.
Dogman.
times.
I'm almost done with this giant wheel, guys.
Okay.
Being for real.
You can add this one because this is one I mentioned and I forgot the name of.
Someone actually reminded me.
The book you were thinking about with the albino in this week's podcast is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
Oh, Cannon's reading that.
That one does sound good.
It does sound good because I read a bit of it.
Dude, it's like the bar scene, the intro, like, I don't know, it's like the introduction of that guy.
It's called Blood Meridian.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, and they said, they said, I read, I was going to say real quick, I read somewhere that, and this is the email, I read somewhere that he doesn't use punctuations, which he calls silly marks and dashes, and says that they don't do anything besides clutter the page.
Oh, great.
It's just like Tanner's texting, bro.
Tanner does text in line.
Incomplete sentences.
Oh, I don't, yeah.
Just run on sentences.
I have to, in order to tell.
It takes too much time to, like, do it.
change it, press a comma, and then appear you're saving so much time, bro.
Whatever.
I'm just a guy that gets right to.
He's saving his own time, not the people trying to decipher where the break is.
Ever I read Tanner's text, I have to read it out loud in order to tell like what thought ends where and what that thought.
If I read it all in my head, it takes a while.
Awesome.
But it's cute.
Sorry, guys, you just got to fuck with me.
Let's get four more.
Let's get four more books.
Dude, we should throw in, we should throw in some, like, nonfiction, like, maybe like a historical.
This person also recommended one.
They said, I also recommend.
Psychology.
Reading the book, Lockdown, Escape from Furness by Alexander Gordon Smith.
It's been forever since I've read it.
And basically, it's a kid.
It's called Lockdown Escape from Furnace.
This kid goes into the screwed up and demented max security prison and guards have, like, gas mask sewn into their face.
And there's actual hellhounds and stuff.
It's a dystopian body horror type wave.
That fits exactly.
Whoa.
Oh, wait, no, that's fiction.
I was about to say, like, this happened?
No, no, no, no.
You guys want to hear how stupid I was in middle school when I had to bring a book to read?
I brought a book that had like Xbox cheat codes.
Yes, dude.
They're like Minecraft books and shit.
We should read on the Fortnite tips and tricks.
Bro, those books are probably so irrelevant now the current day Fortnite.
I don't know.
Can we throw in the Guinness Book of?
world records because those are books
so I don't see why not
that's all I used to check out the library
I don't know how Nick was the one that people
thought he like he doesn't read I was the one
he didn't read I checked out books that had pictures
in it just like yeah
no I was the same way too
when I was in school I was just like I was not into books
like that and then it all
changed I did I read
oh my God yeah and then and then I grew up
and I read all the Twilight things
and I grew up in freshman year
every dude he came out and I
I didn't have to read anymore.
I used to read under this, like, this tree.
And like, okay, so this tree had apples above it.
And I used to read it.
Since not.
No.
You are not high-sick Newton, bro.
Shut the fuck out, bro.
I saw that coming from a mile away.
The minis that you read under a tree and then the minis said,
you're under a tree.
50% suspicion.
And then 100% suspicion.
I can never do anything around you guys.
I can never do it.
Dude.
You know how easy shit was back then?
Oh, it fell on me.
Oh, why did fall on me?
Oh, you're a genius.
Like, dude.
I could have invented gravity like literally yesterday and everybody was like, what?
Like, dude.
What?
Oh, man.
I can't believe that was a setup.
I used to read under this tree.
And there was an apple.
Yeah, you're ridiculous.
Okay, nonfiction.
I don't have any to recommend.
There's, I just, I'm looking on Reddit right now, sorry, guys.
But SPQR by Mary Beard, it's a history of ancient Rome.
Okay.
I don't know, that might be boring.
Or the 12 Caesars.
12 Caesars.
The 12 Cesar's.
Guys, why don't we read the Steve Jobs' autobiography, huh?
Oh, yeah, throw that in there, dude.
Okay, Steve.
With what's his face, Isaac, something's in.
What?
No, there was the guy who wrote the book for Steve Jobs,
his autobiography.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I actually, that book is, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You get some interesting into the life of Mr. Stephen Jobs.
I love Apple.
I love the history of Apple.
Dude, I think it could be pretty interesting.
Yeah, right now I'm on the other...
There's a second book.
I don't know if it's like really like second in like a line of order,
but it's after Steve, that's what's called.
And so it's basically after he passed,
it goes about Johnny Ive,
who was like this British bloke,
who was like the creative director basically of the whole Apple thing.
Really smart guy,
really cool designer.
And then it also went into the current CEO.
Fuck, I'm forgetting his name.
Tim Cook.
Tim Cook, yes.
And it goes into Team Cook's life and like all that stuff.
And it's, yeah, it's pretty, it's a pretty dang good read so far.
I mean, it's, you just get into like lives and hear all the dramas and then hear how that influence the current decisions that we have now in our phones.

They brought homework to the group pod, bro.
They brought homework to the group pod.
See, the thing about this book, I heard the way you're supposed to go about it is literally open the book and wherever you feel.
Open the book, spit on it.
It closes.
Open it.
randomly and start reading
and if you fuck with what you're reading, you keep reading
but if you don't, you just close it and give up.
With this book.
I'm just going to read it backwards.
Yeah.
Should we not do this one then?
If that's the case?
I don't know if it's very much a linear book.
I don't know much about it though.
Let's do a re-spin.

Oh,
SPQR.
Roman history.
Oh, God.
Are we fucking for real?
What?
Are we really reading about the Roman history?
Rural.
I'd rather read a book with no words in it.
He's all going to be in Latin.
We're doing SPQR?
Yeah, a history of ancient Rome.
Oh.
The comprehensive claim.
Oh, the group's so wild.
They look he assigned.
So ancient Roman history is homework.

It landed on Charlotte's Web.
Oh, classic.
I'm starting to regret.
Holy fuck this wheel.
Dude, open the first paint of Charlotte's Wharf.

Why are you guys sighing after mentioning books?
This is like books that we read and we didn't enjoy at all.
We read these in the writing is sub five.
It sounds like you're naming books you never want to read again, grunk.
What?
You sound like we're naming five and we gotta respect that.
Sub five.
So all these books, by the way, you open them.
You know what, Nick?
Just send me the list and then I'll get through them.
I'll get through all.
I'll get through all of them.
I'll get through all of them.
Yeah.
I'm going to start with Rick Rubin and I'm just going to go down the line.
And then I'll come into this podcast and I'll let you guys know what my new findings are.
Larry's findings.
Larry's discoveries.
No, we're doing it together.
No, because you know, every time you, every time my book comes, you're like, no, we can't do that one.
Sorry, you're right.
You're right.
I'm going to swallow my pride.
I'll do the first one we landed on.
Okay.
Okay.
one man and his symbols no I'm down okay look at rock he doesn't even seem happy
no I am I didn't want to overreact because like I don't know I don't know about a man
and his symbols like dude no I think this one will be really good what was that
oh bro no no symbol symbol all right wait but we got to highlight that because
what the fuck
No, what did that book?
Just,
ms.
Man and his symbols.
That's what you're doing, bro.
All right.
What the fuck is there?
Well,
man and his symbols.
I'm going to order it, okay?
All right.
Man and his symbols.
And for anyone
that's listening,
man and his symbols,
this is by who again?
This is by Carl.
Carl Young.
Okay.
Yeah.
Is Carl Young still alive?
Yeah, I'm going to spark.
I'll give a description.
We decide homework for ourselves and we're sparkling.
We're gonna learn.
Oh my god.
Okay, wait, which one are we going with?
We're going with man and symbols?
Yeah, man and symbols like Carl Jung.
Yeah.
It's like, he's Swiss.
Holy shit.
Oh my god.
Wow, this album is really cool.
The landmark text about the inner workings
of the unconscious mind from the symbolism that unlocks
meaning of our dreams to their effect
on our waking lives and artistic impulses.
Wow.
Wow.
You look up the content.
Yeah.
Should I get the audio book?
Yeah.
If that's what you want to do?
Okay.
Yeah.
The contents, it looks like there are
parts.
Not chapters.
Yeah, we can figure out how to break it up.
So there's, I think we do that before.
I think we do a chapter a week, bro.
It's part.
Well, but some books chapters are like one second.
Okay.
Dude.
The chapters are like one.
a week, the chapter, like the first
chapter, quote unquote chapter is 90 pages.
Like, I'm telling you guys.
We really should have fucking done. We should have looked up
good book reading club,
good book. No, because that's how you get
smart, right? I know.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Them white mammas love that.
Them white mammas be loving that dirtyish
on the page. I'm telling you right now.
Audio books, I think for all of y'all would be the move
because in audiobooks, it'll be like
a chapter. It'll be a chapter. It'll be
like the length. It'll show you like the
of how long that chapter is going to last.
You don't think I can read, Larry?
I think you can read, but are you going to read?
I think it's easier to just listen and then get the knowledge.
I'm personally going to read and highlight slash annotate.
All right.
You're doing, you're like high seeing that, bro.
Yep, that's what I'm going to do.
Yep.
That's so performative.
Yep.
You're going to have your book in front of you.
There's going to be like little purple tabs that are sticking at the top.
What bookmark do you need a freak?
What he said here?
What do you get a freak?
I actually make my own bookmarks.
I actually make my own bookmarks.
God, you're so performative.
Drunk, I'll be real.
You would, like, really do well with, like, a devotional Bible.
You probably feel-
I have a Bible.
You have one, too?
I think so.
I still haven't opened my Bible, bro.
I've been, like, afraid of it.
I don't know why.
I'm not afraid of it, but I'm like...
You're afraid of it.
I'm like afraid to get into it.
You're feeling out the pages with highlighters and notes.
But that's just that, y'all don't know about that
because that's real Jesus freaks.
That's real Jesus freak.
Can you even say that in the same sentence?
Are we doing it?
buy it right now?
I already bought it.
I'll be real.
Okay.
Because even if we don't do it, I'm going to do it.

Nick, did you get your book?
No, it didn't come in yet.
No.
Dude, it's good to go a while.
Why is it 20 bucks at Barnes & Noble, but 10 bucks on Amazon?
The world is so just backwards.
Because, dude, I'm telling you, online the whole.
like order things online, it's cheaper
is not real anymore. Not fucking
It is real because it's real. It's half the
price from Barnes & Noble, Nick. Yeah.
Online. Oh, well, that's because
Barnes & Noble is Barnes & Noble, bro. Oh, duh.
We should have taken that to fucking back. You can go to the toy section.
You go to the toy section on Barnes & Noble
and then look at the prices there and then go to
T.J. Max and the same prices will be
like one fucking third.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Crazy.
All right. Well, I'll get my hands on this book one way or another.
How am I looking at?
J.MX is the goat.
