Guys, don't look now, but I think Nile Red is a little charmed by me. Is that true, young man? Everything I've said, you've giggled a little bit You should understand it. Mmm is not something you want to hear He's not sure Stage it up. Well, hold up. We are actually still in LA at the yard Yeah, the yard And also that also the chairs that we sit in, they're in the pictures.

The logic's a little bit weird. They're behind us. You'll have to suspend disbelief. Finally, welcome to the Yard podcast, Nile Red, aka Nigel. Hello. How you doing? We need to eat it Nigel. Eat it like Nigel.

Eat it like Nigel. Do you speak different in your videos? No. I mean maybe. Like if you're talking to your mom, are you like And now I'm gonna start doing the dishes. I definitely don't do that. Wait, can I show you my Nile Red impression? Sure.

So, because we've met one time, but I get your shorts on my timeline a lot. So it feels like we've met a million times. and I've been working on a little Nile red He's actually most of the millions of views you so so I wanted to make a red bull But my balls were in the way so I had to push my balls out of the way so I could drink the red bull But it turns out I need more phosphate to put it into the red bull so that it tastes better. How is that? I've never seen one of your videos, man. Is that how he found it?

If you take a Nile Red video and you just put that whole audio over it, two million views. I would say four on ten. Four?! Wait, this happened to you. What? Well, we're jumping right in. There was a...you have two channels. Yes. Niallred and Niallblue.

There was an imposter. Oh! And I forget the channel name. It was... Niallgreen. Niallgreen! You guys don't know this, Lord. Niallgreen would make videos almost like that.

Yeah. Like how you...is that fair to say? Yeah. Basically like poop videos. But he used AI. Yes. Would make videos almost like that yeah like how you do right is that fair to say yeah? poop videos Yes So now what if that was a now they hired me no so what okay my criticism of you, okay? Are you ready for criticism? No it hurts me deeply and I give them the criticism okay Otherwise he won't grow Otherwise he won't grow

Before I give my Christmas, I'll just say the what Nile Green did well was that he matched the way I wrote If that makes sense Okay, just like the AI made it sound like me is the way that he like built his sentences were very similar So the moment I heard it, I'm like, oh, this guy's listened to a lot of videos. Okay. Well, or maybe he trained an AI model. And Nick's sentence structure sucked. I mean, the first thing that stood out to me, cause you were asking me to analyze it,

was that it was just like a really long sentence. Wait, you talk a lot. No, no, but like. His punctuation. Yeah, like you just. Oh, too many. It was just a complete run on sentence. Too many moments for them to slide to scrolls commas

They would have scrolled away in my version. I could I could it was hard for me to follow cuz there was just like your balls Right. Well, wait, let's do this do do your best version of Nick's concept of video This is he can work on this. No one wants to work anymore. This is his work. I don't want to get in the way of his creative endeavors. His creative endeavor of Nile Orange. Is Nile Green still around?

Do you take him out back? I had to take him out back. So what was kind of interesting with that whole scenario was that we first found his channel, people would share it with us and I think someone emailed it to me and I thought they were super funny because they were just unhinged and they were pretty well made because he refilm, it wasn't like he took AI video, which didn't exist at the time he refilmed everything and tried to match my style like filmed it but

used AI for the voice correct so he wrote it and he basically was like already but he was creating it so I'm just like oh this is like not even low effort he did the hard part kind of though yeah he did he did like everything he could use a lot of voice. Maybe he's mute. And now it's a tragedy. So when... Oh my god. It had very low views and we thought it was so funny. Even my dad saw it. One day we went over, he's like, I saw this hilarious video. But then we woke up one day and it went from like a thousand views to like six hundred thousand. Yes. And then now I'm getting emails saying like, hey I saw you do this video and I'm like, oh no This is a problem. Yes, this is me What are your sponsors like your balls are in the way? I don't

Some people I had someone come up to me and they're like, oh I saw you do this crazy thing with caffeine I'm like, oh my god, this person's actually do that's crazy it's like the beginning of AI and I was like, how do I deal with this because Technically there was like not do I deal with this because technically there was like not it wasn't really happening to anyone else. So you hunted him down you took him out back? Yeah you sent a team of assassins to his house. Just by coincidence I don't remember how it all happened I don't know if you know uh Tom who runs the channel Explosions and Fire another chemistry channel he I don't know how he knew the guy who ran the channel because they both just by

Quizans were from they lived in the same place in Australia. Oh Okay, it's like a small town. I don't know how they knew each other So when I this was happening, I was like, can you get me in contact with him? So I talked to him and he was just a nice guy. Did he kind of sound like he's talking? He's talking about his sound like me. He's Australian? Yeah. Did he sound like Nick's impression of you? You want me to take down the video, but I won't let you do it. No, no.

You don't like looking in the mirror, dude. You don't like when the void gazes back. I wanted to turn Styrofoam into marshmallows. But I needed more chemicals. So you call this guy up and you're like, Oh, I saw him, mate. Oh yeah, exactly. I didn't mind him rushing you call this company like I sorry might Mine does okay, so we're gonna roll deep he's Canadian. No, but the Australian So wait, so yeah, what was he? What was that conversation like?

So I just kind of I don't remember exactly but I reached out and kind of was trying to understand like where he's coming from And very quickly he just was basically like oh, I like all the content you guys do. I love the science stuff. And he was like, honestly, I didn't think anyone would see this. And I got the big sense that like he wasn't doing it to troll me or anything. He was doing it because he just thought it was funny. And he was like, oh, he actually told me later, he's like, maybe this was to get their attention. That would be interesting.

So he said he even started panicking when I started getting lots of views because he's like, oh, no, they're going to hate me. He's like, yeah, like, yeah, he's like, the people who I want would want to like talk to and potentially hang out with would hate me. That's like not what I want. So he even said, he's like, I can just take down all the videos. And I was actually like, no, they're kind of funny. And he was like, yeah.

And he goes, I had a couple more that I was making. I can just take down all the videos and I was actually like no, they're kind of funny And he was like, yeah, and he was I had a couple more that I was making I can just scrap them and not post Them and actually said I'm like no just post what you have. Just don't make new videos. Okay You let him finish out his career You're gonna make him clean his desk right there. Well, I also told him like you can see that this is Gonna be a problem and I was like I'm not like to be I'm not like threatening you with anything I'm like but There will be a point at which if enough people confuse me and like this whole AI thing I'm like do you tube could even have a problem? This is like a pervasive issue now like this is what two you three years ago, I guess

Yeah, and when it happened I Mean, I don't know if this I remember remember because I went to Educon, I went to some YouTube convention and people at YouTube would come in and ask me about it because it was like at the time they were telling me like they were having meetings on how to deal with it. Yeah. Because they were like, this was like the first big example of like a clearly faked YouTuber getting lots of views and they were like, how do we deal with this as a platform? I mean, they just made their first ruling YouTube they like think last week decided to just not pay out

channels whose Content meets like a threshold of like too much AI content Because we did we were up we actually in Vancouver a couple months ago and we did the northern lineup So we're all hanging around on the television, which we never do anymore. You only do that in Airbnbs and hotel rooms to watch Ridiculousness. But we turned on YouTube and it was just the default,

no account, raw algorithm. That's always weird to say. Yes, and it just served. And what it served us up, we instantly look up awesome rap. And what it gave us was like AI Eminem versus AI Lil Wayne. Yeah, it was a rap battle. It was just like green-plot jazz.

But not eight million, 10 million views. A lot of them were just like Beyonce songs that didn't actually exist, but were being pitched as new Beyonce songs. So it would be like Beyonce, Love Forever, and then it was all AI. Fake Vivo logo on the thumbnail. Yeah. And I it was all AI. Think Vivo logo on the thumbnail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And I came to the realization. All the comments are like, so beauty. Ha ha ha. This week, I was in New York. I went on the subway while I was there. And I saw this guy. He looks like he's in his 40s or 50s. He's on his phone.

And I'm standing next to him, to his right. So I can see what he's doing on his phone as we're on the ride. And he, you know, he scrolls through Facebook and he's on a video of some edit of Obama giving a speech. I don't know what it's saying, but he leaves a comment and he's like, that's my goat. And then all caps, Obama, my president forever.

And then- The guy did this? The my president forever. And then- The guy did this? The guy did this. And then I'm not kidding, scrolls down immediately to an AI video of what would the Flintstones and Jetsons look like in 2025 that has been AI generated and he's like watching it. It goes for a minute and a half.

It showcases every character from these old cartoons in like that bizarre AI animal style, and he hits like, and he keeps scrolling. And I was like- Dude, you were on the subway with a fucking clanker. I was like, this is the guy. You met the guy. What's a clanker?

Wait, you don't know about a clanker? It's the new slur for robots. Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh my God. Yeah, this is new slur for robots. Oh my god. That is horrible. Why would he be that? Because that guy is clearly a Clanker. He is disguised as a human pretending to watch shorts. This is really awesome.

But what I was thinking is they need to promote their own AI videos. Oh yes. When you scroll through this content, when you look at those weird slop videos on Facebook, when you look at this AI content and you see the people that are engaging with it, you have this question of who is this? Who watches this and legitimately engages with this content?

And I'm like, I'm meeting the guy. The guy's in front of me. You should have shook his goddamn metal cold hand. I wanted to interview him. My instinct was like, if I can sit down for 45 minutes with this man, I'll understand something more about humanity. I love that Jetsons and Obamas might go, what else do you want?

I think there's something just weird, I've talked about this before, just I'm not saying everyone who comments on YouTube, but like the people who make certain comments, like and the one that I don't know why it always stands out to me, in your video you're scrolling, you know, of course there's some hate comments,

there's some positive ones, then there's just the comments like, good. Yeah. Like, and you're like, good. Yeah. And you're like, who wrote this? Like, I've never watched a video. I was like, I'm going to make a comment. Just write good.

It's like he's so, at least if it's a hate or super positive, you're like, OK, I can see why they're motivated to share their opinion. But it's just like. I think I always figured that those type of people were going to be people in their 40s and older. It reminded me of my dad texting me, because he doesn't understand how syntax and typing translate

into meaning in a text conversation, right? Because he didn't grow up on the internet. So he doesn't understand that phrasing your or showcasing your words in text sort of communicate different feelings and things yeah so he comes across as kind of a psychopath over text like I mean my dad does the dot dot dot yeah where does that come from why do they all do that you know what also old people do for they write they use You can just say us. How old are you by the way? Uh, 34. 35, my man. He wiped his hand before he got hit.

Oh my god, are you nervous? Year of the... What does he mean by year? We're gonna do like year of the pig, like Chinese calendar? I think I know mine. I'm a horse. Are you gonna guess mine? Ox. You are year of ox strong, brod shoulder.

I think it's... why do I think it's the goat? That's hard. I didn't think about that as a saying. You're talking about what's a bar, that's a bar. Someone make a Nile Red edit. I could be completely wrong. Someone make a Nile Red edit for that. Old people love using quotation marks as emphasis.

They think it means underlining something so to be like I'm really mad And it's like you're a fucking idiot. I don't know how do you can't underline? You can't underline attack. You can hold you can I tell us I'm talking like as emails Asterisk both sides. That's actually high level. I haven't figured out how to bold or under that's right. All right, how it's control B No, you saw about on the phone. On the phone. Oh, on the phone. On the phone, you use Apple, and then you do the color goes boing, if you hold the send.

And then it goes boing. I'm mad. But by the way, on the subject of looking over people's shoulders invasively and watching what they do on their phone, we were backstage waiting to set up, and I've had to be two minutes before you got, you came and found us.

What are we? Does this do you feel big doing this? Who I've known for years and he's just googling what is Niall Reds real name Didn't know if I was being served fake news Yeah, and he's reading the AI fucking results and he's like and I like Joel Nigel Brown wrong Is that where the name kind of comes from? I basically, um, not really. No, no. So I mean, I started the channel in 2014 and of course I feel like most creators, especially back then, you had no idea where it was going to go. You like. You weren't planning for anything.

So I'd made, I was working in a lab and I recorded what I was doing and I made some crappy video, which I actually think is not even on the channel anymore. You're visiting the zoo video is gone? Yeah. Well actually YouTube kept striking it, so. For what? I was making flash paper. Oh, flash paper's cool.

It was a very interesting first video. I don't know. I don't know how I decided on it. I was just in the lab, and I was like, can I use these resources? Like, sure. So I did it. So I had to upload it.

I'm like, I need a channel name. And at the time, I'm like, I don't care. I just need a name to upload it. But everything I thought of just sounded lame. So then I was sitting there with actually a grad student. And this is when labs were going on, because I was a lab tech, and we're like, what do we name it? And he's like, what's this?

And behind us was just a chemical book. So we opened it up and I was like, go to N, because my name starts with N, and we just literally scrolled down and we just saw Nile Red. I'm like, I mean, that sounds- Was it two words or one word? That's poetic.

It was two maybe. What is Nile Red? It's just a dye. It's like dye. Oh, is it like red 40? No, it's a dye for like, to buy all the things. It's like stained tissue to study it, I think. There was a, there's a crossword answer, it was Nile Green. So it's like a, it's a shade, it's a shade. It's a shade of red.

Famous AI YouTuber. Also, what's your Venmo? It's kind of the same story. Yeah, I was needing to get a payment, and I scrolled through the pages. YouTuber. Also, what's your Venmo? It's kind of the same story. Yeah, I was needing to get a payment and I scrolled through a book and I ended up on Pussy Slayer 69. That's a little bit, you know, yeah, and then you made the ad John Williams. Well, that's because I just like John Williams.

Do you just like that name? No, yeah, I just didn't want to use my real name and I just like John Williams, the orchestra, the composer. Okay, oh yeah. Yeah, that's where it all came from. So okay, you've been doing YouTube since 2014. You were a lab tech before, so you have a degree? In biochemistry.

Okay. Bachelor's though? Yeah. Sorry, I was- What's your sign by the way, real quick? I didn't mean to laugh. No, no, what's yours? What's your sign by the way, real quick? I didn't mean to laugh. No, no, what's yours?

What's your degree? What is it? I have a bachelor's degree in English. That's pretty good. We all speak it. Yeah, that's good, yeah. I mean. No, isn't the meme though, like you get a,

I guess it's biology. That's like the useless undergrad degree. That's not the meme. I don't know how science works. The meme is English. Isn't the meme, it's the kids that you're with. You're is English. It's not biology or biochemistry. I would argue an undergrad biology degree is equally as useless as an English degree. You're crazy.

You can't say I'm God to be writing an argument. I'm my soul. So what I'll say is like, I think that biology, because I actually started as an undergrad in biology. I'm so sorry. But I switched to biochem. I would say that any, I mean, just across the board, any degree that doesn't have a designated application is going to be obviously more difficult to use.

So in the sciences, I do think that biology falls under that. And also, at least in my school, there's cell biology and anatomy. That was kind of like there's not really an application, but people would take those degrees because they were kind of like easier than the other ones. And then they would use that to get high grades to then apply to med school. Oh, but if you didn't get into med school, then then you better start. I don't know what you do.

Yeah, you could be English. I don't know what you do. Yeah, you're going to do that. Get ready to learn English, buddy. So what were you hoping to do? I guess what were you doing? Like, what does it lab tech mean? OK, so I mean, the lab tech, I was a lab tech in a chemistry lab, too. Like, so I did biochem because my goal was to become, I wanted to go to med school but then once I graduated I'm like I don't really want to do that so I was like I don't know what

to do and I had a friend who was working as a lab tech and he's like I'm leaving but if you want my job you can basically have it. Yeah. And I'm like I don't really have anything else to do right now. STEM students everywhere are fucking fuming. They're like, yeah, if you want my awesome job, I'll give it to you. And I want to know if I want it. I mean, it was a good job, honestly, but a lot of it was like there's students who have labs and you just have to make sure that, you know, the chemicals are there, the equipment's out. But there's kind of like instructions that you follow and put out the chemicals.

Like the most you do is they'll say, oh, this chemical needs to be prepared. But a lot of it's just mixing it with water it's like not really that diluting yeah exactly oh you can use the big words around us I asked your question but that was like that was what I did I guess you have diluted and that's sort of is it diluting and when is it dissolving does dissolve does have to I forgot diluting is when you take something less potent by adding water and dissolving is when it mixes inside of it.

And then it chemically bonds to the water, right? When you dilute, you are dissolving. Fuck! Can you make mustard gas? What? Sure. You need some? Yeah.

How hard is it? So I think it's really easy. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. I think it's exceptionally easy, which is actually the hard, well, the harder part is getting the chemicals to make it. Right.

Well, I always see videos on YouTube shorts of people mixing cleaners in a toilet. That's not mustard gas. And it looks beautiful. But then the comments say, congrats, you've made mustard gas, idiot. No, that's just like- The commenters are dumb household toxic gas yeah, so I think when you mix bleach and Ammonia, yeah ammonia make chloramine which is like kind of

Chlorine like is it bad for you? Yeah I mean like if you fill a room with it and you have to breathe it you'll have either bad problem I mean depending how much it is, but it could kill you potentially people have died from it What's like the biggest mistake you've made in your video like where you were like? Oh shit? That was this is bad um You know part of me is like don't say it because then you know the viewers are like you know I'm It's self-incriminating oh The one that I would say is the biggest mistake allegedly Allegedly

Allegedly Actually this mistake I'm trying to think cuz like the ones that led to injuries are probably the ones that are the biggest mistakes But one of them was back when I was working my parents garage I had a I was doing a video where it was called I was making a bipolar medication Lithium yeah lithium so you like take apart a battery and my mom was bipolar and you reacted with water But I had to refilm so I I lost all the footage so I had to refilm it I was kind of like annoyed about that

So once I got the whole thing set up again I realized I had a bit of extra lithium and I was just like well I don't need this I'll throw in this cup of water and it just exploded. Yeah And I was just like well, I don't need this. I'll throw in this cup of water, and it just exploded. Yeah That's what happened. I knew that. So it's lithium is not really supposed. It's not normal that it explodes Mmm. I actually made a short on it because I wanted to like go over that again And what's crazy is when I did it it like detonated and it blew the glass up But the original one didn't do it just threw molten lithium all over my garage and I give it lands on you It's just gonna like oh

It could theoretically there's a lot it could like send you to the bone and like pouring pouring water on it's not really gonna help Because that's what made it With water so it's like you so I just kind of used to tough it out So it just blows up and you're I'm just like standing there. I'm like you need a fire blanket Oh, you have you need to actually you can't even put it out with like, um, I think CO2 won't do it, you can't use water. Like, they use, specifically for lithium, you need like, sodium, you have to have like a salt, um, you have to smother it with salt.

Dude, imagine having a flesh wound of magma and having to pour salt all over it. What if you got a flesh wound and then you looked at it and it was all like bionic like like it was all wires and you learned that you were an AI? Oh! And then you're in the subway and you look up and there's a tall guy just standing there Oh my god! No this is like- And he just called you a clanker

This is like in Fight Club, it's like in Fight Club when he's burning and he's like you can pour water on it to make it worse or you can pour vinegar on itize the burn. So I know that water on it would be better. Okay Chuck Palahniuk lied. Well, I mean generally just water is great when you have something on you You know, I failed chemistry twice. I wouldn't really do anything either. Okay. What's your chemistry twice? It's hard I can't I didn't. It's hard, it's so, well, I can't express. I didn't do great in chemistry either. It's so hard. Wait, wait, hold on. What's not great? You were smurfing.

In high school I got like, I remember the first half of the year I had like 60%. I was afraid of not even passing. Don't his rocks. Cause you were there in high school same as me being like, what is a mole? What is this shit? It doesn't make sense. You guys don't even know what I'm talking about. Wait, were you like, what is a mole? Why- what is this shit? It doesn't make sense. You guys don't even know what I'm talking about. Wait, were you like a low-key chiller?

Like were you fucking off or were you- you just didn't get it? Me? I- I- I mean, I think the answer is I cannot pay attention in class. It's like impossible. You're bound to be a YouTuber. Yeah, so I don't- I- I've- I don't think I've ever paid attention

to a class ever. What? What's crazy is you have a biochemistry degree. I'm the same, I'm like agree. Did you ever cheat? Allegedly. In high school. Yeah, me too. I actually would've.

And it ended right after that. I have a story about that. I cheated off my friend. I had my answers and I went, I was like, okay, I don't know what I'm doing. And my friend, I looked at him, I'm like, you know what you're doing? He's like, yeah.

So I cheated off of him. I changed my right answers for his wrong answers and I did badly. And that day taught me like, you know, your friends are stupid. Yeah, that's like a full house episode. It was smarter friends. But it taught me that like cheating isn't necessarily better. Your friends might be, the guy you're cheating off might be dumber than you are. I actually, on a chemistry test, I failed the class

but I cheated on a chemistry test. I sat like this in class and I shaved a square out of my leg and I wrote all the answers right here. And then I just, you know, I fly in colors. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I still failed the class. Yeah.

Yeah, science has always just been so mysterious. so everything I ever learned through it was just movies. And shows. I'm not sure how great of an education you got there. Well, I know how to make blue meth. Yup. So... Yup. And I know how they got the chemicals.

And I know where Heisenberg is. What if I told you that the blue color means it's less pure? Oh, what? Well, then I'm not smoking it, brother. Yup. I like smoking it because of the color. Wait, explain that. Because Walter White knew what he was doing.

No. No, I don't know. I don't know. I don't remember the show. I watched it so many years ago. But basically, like, generally most, I would say like most organic compounds are white or colorless. Well, obviously the dyes and other stuff have color. But like you can expect if you make most organic compounds,

most drugs, it's like they're just white powders. And if you crystallize it, they're just clear colorless things. And if they're tinted, usually you get like brown. Crack is brown a lot. Yeah. You get like different colors. It just means that there's crap in it.

If I was going to make it step by step Where would I start? Okay? What you need to do So you're saying that's cap you're saying the blue meth was a device and breaking bad. Yeah, I'm so Vince Gilligan lied to you. Yeah Trust anything I run a game with you is called. Can Make It? And you just tell me yes or no. Okay, just yes or no. This is good.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, one question beforehand. Sure. Can I physically make it? Because there's sometimes like, I could make it if I could get the chemical, but I'll never be able to get the chemical. Because it's illegal? So, yeah, or whatever. Aether's under lock and key.

So it's like, I think that's encompassed. And Can You Make It? is like, if I decided I wanted to, could it happen? Yes. Okay. Okay, yes. I think it's just yes and can you make it is like if I decided I wanted to could it happen? Yes Okay, okay. Yes. I think it's just yes for everything. What? Okay. Okay, then you're the goat then let's play. Yes Yes, no, anything you'll say is probably yes The second son No, I meant cocaine co4 Okay, that's actually really complicated to make. Cocaine?

Yeah. As much, you're much better off just extracting it naturally. Meth. Meth is, I think, probably one of the easiest ones to make. Can I make it? Yeah. Oh my god. That's so cool.

What's kind of funny is like, meth is, for whatever reason, viewed as hard to make. But there is a, it's funny, like meth is for whatever reason viewed as hard to make but there is a It's it's funny like people who know it know it looks when I I've often said like oh It's called the classic shake and bake method and then some people like immediately know I'm talking about and everyone else just looks At me with like a blank stare Yeah But it's basically was invented by people who do drugs and have no scientific background and they want to be able to just load

Everything into a water bottle and shake it and and have meth and it's from household items. They literally use the lithium battery, they get drain cleaner, brake fluid. Dude, all this sounds so gross by the way. Like if I'm going to consume it, you're getting together an old battery, drain cleaner, and you're like this is going to be so yummy. There's like a shoe. So yeah, they get lithium drain cleaner. It's like brake fluid. It's not brake fluid. It's like cleaner.

So it's supposed to be ether, engine degreaser. Yeah, and then you get Sudafed or something. And I think the last ingredient is usually like some ammonia thing, like a cleaner. And then you put it in the bottle, and you just shake it up. Why doesn't everybody make this? Yeah, well a lot of them are making it they why aren't we? There are laws

Okay, also do you need meth? Mmm. No, but like we could sell it we could sell it a lot of money probably right it works in World War two it energized We could sell it. It'd make me a lot of money, probably, right? It worked in World War II. It energized. Adderall's meth, right? I will say I can't help you with that project. Yeah, that's fair.

I believe in you. But I'll send you the results when it's done. Yeah. And send it across the border. Wait, so it's your place. No, no, no, no, no, don't, don't. We said send the results. For some reason, I thought you meant a photo.

No, no, I'm gonna ship it to you. Don't involve me with any of that. No, they can ship stuff to Canada now. To. Even that, don't involve me with any of that. They can ship stuff to Canada now, it's fine. To Nigel, the one who taught me everything I know. The thing that's like bad, I mean, because I do all the chemistry stuff and I'm not like, I'm not like, I say a proper company or I'm not like affiliated with the government, I'm not academia. It's like I actively will like not do anything

even remotely affiliated with drugs like that. Because you wanna give like an excuse. So for the government to like look into it. So even for like you, if you sent me like a photo or anything, I'd be like. It's you. I gotta report you man. I'm sending you the package.

It's you with your, a picture with your garage mess and your fucking teeth is out. I have a cutout of Nigel next to me I'd be like, uh, mmm They didn't really know him, Canadian government I wish you didn't send that, I don't know It's like, I actively try to like, not be involved Talking about it's fine

Not that I actually think you would do any of that Oh well Wait, wait, no, we're gonna chef up later I know, no, no, I think- I believe you could So you're trying to get me to not No, no, no. I think I believe you could. So you're trying to get me to not do it? You could do it if you tried. Yeah, you could.

You could. I believe in you. So there's certain chemicals you don't have access to as a layman. Like, we don't have access to. Do you get special access? So the thing that shocked me, honestly, was I remember this conversation pretty vividly, because I felt stupid for asking it.

There was a guy I met who sells chemicals. That's his, I mean, that's his company. He's just one of those guys. There's a guy I met who sells chemicals. Officer is a guy I met. He runs a small chemical company. And I remember asking him something about like, oh, I couldn't work with the bigger one

because it's like, I don't have a chemical license. And he was just like, what are you talking about? And when he said that, I'm like, oh, I feel dumb. But he was basically like, that what are you talking about? And when he said that I'm like, oh, I feel dumb. But he was basically like, that doesn't exist. There's no such thing as like a chemical license. What? So, well, to a certain degree, like if you're importing, exporting and other stuff, there's things,

but as like an individual, the only thing stopping you from buying from like a major chemical company is just, it's up to them to deter it. They're liable if they sell someone something that's bad. So it's entirely up to them to determine who's a good customer. And usually that's just you need to have a registered business and they'll sell you anything that isn't like on, you know, some DEA list. I was saying, what is it bolted down brother? If you got the bread for it. Even they'll sell you anything that's not explicitly listed

as a controlled substance. Even in Canada, you can write a purpose and reason, and they'll still sell it to you. But they're logging that you bought it. The last 15 minutes are going to have that most replayed bit over the YouTube video. No, but it's just crazy. It shocked me that there's just, if you have a business, you can pretty much from

a lot of the major chemical companies, oh, and you need a business address. That's actually harder. Are you in good standing? Are you buying that good shit now? I have, I have some connections. Yeah. So what if I started a TikTok account and I just kind of like went like this and just like picked any two chemicals and I just would just combine them. It was a TikTok where I just combined of like went like this and just like picked 82 chemicals and I just would just combine them

It was a tick tock. I just combined two random chemicals combining chemicals until I see an awesome reaction I just keep going until like my either my house burns down or my skin melts off So what I would say is like it's kind of sad, but you'd probably have pretty bad videos Huh? Because most reactions would be late. They just won't do anything. I would or anyone doing this idea? Anyone doing that. Sorry. No offense. I thought really it was a mean thing. You just...

The big thing with chemicals is like there's just many different groups of chemicals. So you get like oxidizers, reducers, bases, acids. So it's like if you took a base and mix it with a base, probably literally nothing happens. Yeah, it's just like Coca-Cola and milk. The same thing. But then when I finally hit, the crowd goes wild. Sometimes you might just be like, you happen to some, you don't even know what you're doing.

You add like a bit of an acid and a bit of a base and it just gets like warm. But surely this is like the guy who made elephant toothpaste. He probably was doing something like this. He was just like, I'm gonna mix this. Whoops! Now my house is like David Dobrik's. The first guy to make elephant toothpaste before every YouTuber bastardized it and did it bigger and bigger until like, what the fuck are we even doing here? It probably happened on this scale now that I think about it. And so it was like, what if we did a lot?

I don't even know how, where elephant toothpaste came from, but it is a big thing. Like, hydrogen peroxide, which is what it's based around, breaks down super easily. So it's in a lot of chemistry when you use it in a reaction, you quench it by throwing in something to break down the peroxide and then it just fizzes like crazy. Whoa. So I bet you somebody just was doing a reaction that had like a soap like thing in it like a surfactant and it just foamed. There's probably a problem in... Yeah.

He was like, oh, it's so annoying. I've done my reaction, it takes forever to neutralize it because it just foams like crazy. And then some guy was just like, oh, that's cool, I'm gonna add some dye to it. It's probably not really... I don't think anyone tried to design it. They just like... So as a real chem head, what are your top five chemicals? I'm a chem head? Give me your top five chemicals. What are your top chemicals? I'm a chem head. Yeah Five chemicals your top five chemicals. Oh my god. Do you know five? Is weed a chemical? Is rap music a chemical is love a chemical love love can be love I mean that's fine

And then yeah rap music is number two. No, come on chlorine is number three And then yeah rap music is number two. No, come on chlorine is number three Dopamine solid that's up there. That's good. This guy's good. It's not a compound. He's two for four. He's name love and rap Wait, that's two and I get two more. Yeah, your final one. That's a chlorine cuz we put in pools I don't know what else that's five now. He's good. Yeah, he's good. Could you do better? Yeah, easily. Okay. I would go, uh... Just go with... Bromine? Yeah, you're gonna list the periodic table.

Unununium. I like that one. I always like the fucked up ones with three letters. That's an element, not a chemical. I have a vulnerable question. I have a dumbass's. Is just an element on its own a chemical? Do you know what?

I actually... fear a lot of these simple questions because I often don't know the answer. I remember one of my worst experiences was trying to tutor somebody in like high school chemistry and I didn't know anything. And you had 60%, what are you doing out there? That's true.

Yeah. Back in scientist was the same, bro. We asked him questions about electricity. We said, what's a volt? He goes, I actually don't know. And he's about to electrocute me. Was that Kevin? A volt it's hard to define.

And then he said a unit of power and everyone oh okay and I'm like that's not really the explanation. We took the answer from the crowd let's be clear. Someone said it. What could they say a volt was? Someone said it's a unit of potential energy. Yeah yeah yeah. And then Kevin basically said oh oh, that sounds good. And I was looking at him.

You're about to electrocute me. You just took an answer from chat. I mean, I think there's a lot of these vague terms. Like, I think I don't know what. What the hell is Kelvin? Oh, Scoville. What's Scoville? We got to start with Kelvin.

This started with what's a chemical to what's a volt to now what's Kelvin. OK, so I'll say what's a chemical. I think I've looked up the definition. I don't think it's like a chemical is literally... Guy who taught us to make meth earlier. Yeah, I looked up the definition. I think it was like, I don't know the actual definition.

There's something like a pure substance. Like a substance that can be purified. Like it was something like very vague. So that's why an element can be a chemical because you can have a pure version of it. Whereas like you can't have... Peanut butter. No see that can't be a chemical because a part of it could be a chemical because you can like isolate it like sugar could be a chemical. But didn't you make the most pure cookie? Yeah that's a little bit of a... That's a controversial video. Is your cookie not a chemical? That that's a That's a controversial movie magic if you

would So you can synthesize an element though right like that wouldn't be possible You can theoretically like they you can just smash neutrons Yeah, don't you need like a fucking isn't there a machine in the world that like smashes a particle And then we like create a new element that exists for like 0.003 seconds and then we add it to the table Yeah, or even if it exists longer, it's the classic thing where like they run the experiment as far as I know They run the experiment and it's like they have things collecting data and it's like from the data They they do calculations go. Oh, yeah, a new element was made. Yeah, whereas they're not like

Bombarding something and then going oh my god. We have like seven pounds of this new element Let's look at it. Yeah, it's kind of like you can't I think it's Adams you can't I think they named I think most of them are named now But I remember growing up and looking at the table in science class and looking at the last like 15 Yeah, they're all start with they all start with two you Yeah, so to you but they a lot of them got named in recent years. I have a question Does it freak you out? I asked Hank Green this when he was on and he didn't really you may satisfy your answer

Maybe you don't remember what he told me but the idea that like different things Everything is just reduced down to this concept that nothing's touching. I Can't sleep sometimes that's that's what keeps you up. Yes. That's the thing He doesn't like being filled with holes. He has a pretty awesome life. Yeah. I just think that it freaks me out to think that everything is these little tiny balls that aren't touching. Does that freak you out? Why not? You never thought about it. No I have like you know. Okay. He's made of science. I don't know, I just go, okay. Yeah, me too.

That's the way it is. I don't know, in a macro sense, you don't know that. You just know that because you're told that. But when you do this, it's like, that's touchy. That's touchy to me. I have another question. Does it freak you out that you have holes in you? Some of my holes I enjoy very much.

I'm fine with them. I like eating tacos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But doesn't like freak you out that there's like an, there's an entry point into your body? No, that makes sense to me. Okay. There's gotta be a way in.

Why? Yes, yeah. It would freak me out if there was no way out. Oh, yeah. If there was just a way in. Then I'd be scared. Because then I'd be like, where is it all going? I guess that's fair.

Who are they stuck in there with? On the note of tacos, I heard a rumor that you ordered like 50 at your hotel last night. I think we ordered 72. What is up with that? What are you doing? Every open sauce we just order a lot of tacos. Oh, it's like a tradition. This is the second one.

Okay, so there's actually, okay. The reasoning is dumber basically Where I'm from is Montreal, which is in the province of Quebec in Canada. You speak French? I'll say I understand French. Okay, you know what I just said you can repeat it. These they put I know the last one Yeah, I know the first. I didn't understand the first. Yeah, yeah. I get it now. Thank you. Thank you. Beautiful. Beautiful. I didn't know what you said for the first part. I get it. Yeah, I get it.

I'm not going to repeat it. Please don't. I've done enough. What was I saying? Oh yeah. Montreal. In... I love Taco Bell. Okay. Fire. Fourth meal. But then Montreal. In, I love Taco Bell. Okay, fire. I sit there all the time. Fourth meal. But then one day, I go to Taco Bell.

I go to Taco Bell, I mean I go to where Taco Bell once was. A crater. It was a smoking crater. Gone. It was just hit by an asteroid. Yeah. No, it was taken away from me. Oh my god.

Because... So sad. That's actually a good ques... Like you asking about the French. I actually don't know why Taco Bell left, but I think it's probably because they just didn't want to like make their signs in French or something. I don't know.

So they just left the entire province. Wow. That's actually crazy. So for years, every time I leave and go somewhere that has Taco Bell, that's like, I have to have my like my fix. So what's your order? Um, I mean it depends.

I often just it depends on how many times I order it. But usually the first order is just a lot of hard shell tacos. Hard shell tacos, classic. Can you just chug it through 12 hard shell tacos? I want to talk about what you put in your body because I was gonna ask that. We had a conversation last night. Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna put you on blast here. No, no. I'm gonna put you on a small blast here. No, no, no, no, no. You're a 34-year-old, man.

I just hit 30. I've been told that, yeah. And you said you had a almost month-long diet of eating chicken nuggets, specifically the animal-shaped one, every single day for a month. Was this for a video? No.

Oh, it's so, so kind of, kind of, kind of. Wait, it was kind of for a video. It was kind of for a video. Oh my God kind of, kind of, kind of. Wait, it was kind of for a video? This is a lie that you tell yourself. No, no, no, I can explain to you. So basically... So this did happen? It did happen.

He wanted to see the chemicals his body would make. Of animal nuggies. I probably here or there had like, you know, a burger. That's your genealogy? Right, right, right, right. You're having a burger in your downtime? You gotta break down your nuggies with little burgers. Oh no, what I started doing, I don't even want to, I don't even want to continue. You gotta continue. I would have a chicken

egg roll sometimes too. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Chicken egg roll. I kept on the chicken. No, so over COVID, I gained a bunch of weight that I was not like super happy about. And honestly, when I went and did, I filmed this, the Scared the Coyote thing with Will Osment. There was particularly like one photo that was taken of me that I looked at it and I'm like, I don't like the extra, the extra weight. I've been there. Can someone help me with my diet? So what I decided to do. Like made a pallet of chicken nuggets?

So I've been wanting to lose some extra weight for a long time. I mean, since probably a year into COVID. So then I came back and I was like, okay, I'm going to do it. I did not like that photo. You hate this photo. Yeah. I don't hate it. I just was like, okay, I'm gonna do it. I did not like that photo. Yeah, you hate this photo. Yeah. I don't hate it, I just was like, whoa, like, it was a wake-up call, you know?

But at the same time, there is a video that I wanna film. And the thing that I've been slacking on is that I actually need to like be fit for it. Any leaks? We can cut it. I mean, I can just tell you. I don't know if it needs to be, yeah, I mean, I can just tell you. I don't know if it needs to be. Yeah, I think I can just tell you, but...

Because the idea is kind of stupid. Basically, I'm trying to see how heavy I can get by packing tungsten on myself. Oh, you called the right guy on this podcast. You're trying to like max out the scale. So I want to weigh 500 pounds. So you want to hold like an extra... I need like 350 pounds of tungsten on me. But I was like to ma- but I want to look normal.

So we bought a bunch of tungsten shot and we're going to like strap it all over my body. So I'm like, I need my legs to be strong. You're going to be like Goku. Yes. How can you hold that much weight? That's where the training comes in. Oh my God.

I mean, you can farmers carry that much, especially if it's dispersed in a way that you don't have to carry it because that's usually the biggest thing that goes to your grip. A lot of the tension of just standing. I guess kind of like when you're standing at the top of the squat like you're resting it on your shoulders even if it's a lot. The big thing though is that to hide it because I want to look normal I need to be as thin as possible. So you have to lose the weight not so that you're carrying less, but so that when you have the tungsten on you don't look like you have the tungsten on. I need to be thin so the fat that was there could be tungsten. Mmm. He's not here to defend himself, but I think I could sleep now right in one punch. I could kill you.

Oh, you could put him to bed? I could put you to bed, boy. Well, if you want to put him into a bed, I don't think he even has a bed. Do you realize that? No, he does not. He sleeps on a series of chemicals. He sits on a series of chemical bottles. Chemical bed. Typical. It's like a bed of mercury.

He sleeps on mercury. I almost had a chemical bed. Because mercury's not bad for you. If you were going to get him a bed, what you know you could do is you could reach out to Helix sleep, and you could get him a mattress from there. And I could sleep with him on that bed. And you could sleep with him?

I thought you were saying sleep him. You said you wanted to sleep him. You're could sleep with him on that bed and you could sleep with him. I thought you said you want to sleep him, you know, knock him out. I put him down. What's the difference? A huge difference. Big difference. Big difference. Like you don't. Well, there's also a big difference. You take the Helix sleep quiz to find your perfect mattress. Big difference of what mattress might fit you. I feel like he might get it.

He might come back to you and he'd be like, these chemicals keep me cool and comfortable at night. It's like, how could how could anything ever be together? I'd be like, these chemicals keep me cool and comfortable at night. It's like, how could anything ever compete? And when we're sleeping together, I'd be like, let's stay cool. Look, are you a midnight lux guy like me or are you something else? It depends on if you're a side sleeper, stomach sleeper, back sleeper. I'm gonna sleep you. Maybe you're a head sleeper, upside down like Aidan.

Aidan sleeps on top of his head. I'm gonna sleep you now. So you can go take the sleep quiz and find out which one works for you.

Let them know Ludwig sent you and they'll be like, oh my God, the guy from Deco Deco. Oh my God, the guy that slept with Nile Red Well, anyway, thanks to Helix for sponsoring this week's episode and stick around to find out if he's cut or uncut The reason I was eating all the chicken was because I had this goal now of like, you know both the video and I was like Okay, cool. It's good to lose the weight

it just was like the easiest and laziest thing where you just look on you look on the thing and you're like I've seen people eat only chicken. Like I've seen videos of you talking. Wait, chicken nuggets are different. I feel like they're only 10% chicken. There's usually a guy and he's like making grilled chicken with some broccoli. Okay, sorry, I back this up.

It was chicken fingers is how it started. Okay, right. Okay. Really that one. Cinema. Here, here, here. Wait, it started as fingers and then you were like, I wish these were shaped like animals. No, so like, it is objectively not a good diet, but for some reason I woke up and I'm

like, I'm okay just not enjoying food for the next like, month. So you got frozen chicken nuggets? Fingers, then nuggets. Wait, you didn't even enjoy it? I actually, well so what I- Do you not like them? No, they're fine. I started buying some, I actually started buying like cool sauces.

Right. So that's where like, that was like the thing that kept me going. That's what keeps you waking up in the morning. Give me your sauce tier list. So, boy you need to close the sauces. Honestly, I didn't get that far, right? Okay, okay. I bought some Chick-fil-A sauce.

Give me the sauce, the sauce tier list of can you make each one. But no, like I, it's not objectively, it's a bad diet. The thing is, it was just super easy to track your calories. All that matters is calories in, there's calories out. And like obviously, it's not good long term if you're over indexing on salt or something. And it took his maple syrup. Yeah, it's calories in, calories out.

So it's like jaundice, but calories in. So I also, I was like, yeah, you gotta be able to survive at least a few weeks on that, because people survive not eating for a few weeks. It's true, yeah. You make it. That's not- I made sure to have a multi-vitamin

to make sure I wasn't doing- A sensu bean. But I was never planning to go for very long, and it was like after, I think like three, it was probably after a month, I was like, I was only also aiming to lose a pound or two a week, which is like, I was only also aiming to lose like a pound or two a week, which is like, as far as I understand,

the healthy amount. Hold on, let me just, why don't we just, let's wrap this all up. You needed to prepare for a new video that you needed to lose weight for. Yes, thank you. And the diet that you chose was to eat, at first, Chicken fingers. Chicken fingers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then chicken nuggets for the month seeing that as the most optimized diet. Optimized for his laziness. Wait let me throw it in an air fryer and just leave and come back and it was ready. What were you eating before? So that's my other defense. My diet's generally horrible in general. Okay, Taco Bell. Exactly. So I was all, even before this diet, I was questioning my own health. So once I started this diet, I actually ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whereas before I was like... Was the chicken all three meals? Yeah. That's crazy. That is iconic. That is crazy. Hold on, hold on. I'm on your side.

I'm on your side. The month has passed. So did it work? Yeah. Boom! I mean you looked good. Checkmate woke. Checkmate.

Yeah. Well what's the diet now? Are you normal? I just, yeah. Because it's hard. Actually, it's hard. I started eating salads. What's funny is once I was like, okay, I don't need to diet anymore, I stopped eating breakfast

and I'm like, that's actually bad. Sure. So I actually have to fix that but that's like a whole other problem. So for the most part you eat like not like normal food and you- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You made it out the other side. Isn't skipping brekkie good?

No. It depends. It's just fasting. If we call it fasting, it's good. Yeah. I think it's the most important meal of the day and I don't know if that's cause of the Oreo company. I'm also anti-breakfast. What? Like the institution of breakfast.

The idea of breakfast food being eaten at breakfast time. I've talked about this before. I'm just kind of against it. Now, why? I shouldn't have brought this up. Are we talking about cereal or are we talking about eggs and bacon? I should have brought this up. The cereal side or the eggs and bacon side? I like the food. But like, there's a whole tag.

No, no, no, no, no. I get this. We can dig into this. You want it to be dinner? I think I'm with you. Are you talking about like the freak shit where you're like French toast and waffles and like? I'm not explaining this right.

I don't believe in food being appropriate at certain times of the day. Like if you want to wake up and just eat a steak. You want a pancake dinner. No, if you want a steak for breakfast, that's fine. Well steak and eggs is a thing, but he's basically Wake up and you just have a you can be sure to be time. It doesn't matter you're imagining you can have pancakes for dinner It's like no I think that I think that there are certain foods Especially like super high carb foods that make you tired. It doesn't I guess that never happens. He's not shackled by the

constrictions of society. I don't think it's random though. It's all societal, none of it is science-based. He is imagining a world without borders, much like Solid Snake. Just this idea of one army. It's military. It's just like there'd be times where I'd be eating something, and people would be like, why are you eating that?

That's not breakfast. And I'd be like, it's Like fuck you cop. Well, I don't have it like I don't have an example on my head But I'll make it's like the breakfast who they like is literally the same thing just like chopped up and rearranged Yeah, okay sure and they're like what you're eating is not breakfast because the shape and form of it is like I would prefer the shape to be different farm animals, but still be chicken and snot. Not in my already. Is cereal soup? um, no definitive definitive second answer so i have a problem is a hot dog a sandwich yes yeah i mean and you can this is an infinite loop too no it is a sandwich okay No, it's binary. No, that's crazy. The chicken nugget thing. I'm still lying.

I still want to know your top three chemicals. As someone who's seen so many of them. Okay, I feel like, okay, I can drop some. I think capsaicin's pretty good. Fire. You've tried it raw, right? Was that brutal? Honestly, I mean, what's weird is pure capsaicin

isn't as bad as if you diluted a bit in like ethanol. Bruh. Yeah, I mean, that sounds miserable. Like, if you're to tell me to have a shot of Everclear and some capsaicin, that sounds miserable. That's like a shoenice video. That was actually one of my early projects. I was, before I even did YouTube, I distilled and made 100% ethanol,

and then I put a ghost pepper in it. And then I heated it up. What does that do? When I took it, you're just like, your body feels confused. You're like shoenice with a science degree. No, no, no. You know shoenice, right? I know who he is. I've never met him or anything.

Of course. He ate 1,000 pencil erasers. Yeah. I mean, I've never met him. He has toilet paper. You could do that for a short. You're the same guy. I don't think I can.

You just sold 20 energy drinks into one. Bro. The difference is that he is trying something he created. Shunice is trying everything man has created. What is what is Capsaicin doing to your tongue? I can answer this. I don't fucking care what you think. No, no, no, no, no. Capsaicin is not making the tongue a spicy.

It's removing the tongue spice tolerance. So basically removes the shield. Imagine your tongue has full shields. It removes the shields. Like you have to, they broke your shield? Yeah, they broke shield. And then now whatever is hitting you is just hitting full body shots. Damn, that's 100 HP. That's gonna move fast.

Ludwig's one, his tongue is one. I don't know if that's true. So it could be, so I'll explain why it could be true. The molecule itself, like I say attacks, no, interacts with pain receptors. And it just, I don't know exactly what it does. That's what I'm saying, like I thought it activated them, but I don't know if it activates them or like you said, like sensitizes them. I don't actually know what it's doing. So what you're saying could be true. Dude, this reminds me, I was talking to someone earlier who knows you.

Who's this someone? Are they secret? Depends on what they were saying. And they were saying, it was last year at Open Sauce, I'm in the hotel room with Nile Redd, he's a Long Islander, I see. Does this guy's name start with M? No, different guy. He looks over at me and he says, how do computers work? Oh, this guy's name starts with an R. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That happened. Okay, so you're constantly asking questions like this No, no, but so that is one question. How does a computer work? Sure. No, actually I don't fucking I can't tell you It's zeros and ones. It's a series of on-off switches. No, but sure but how do the on-off switches? Why do they turn on and off? Electricity motherfucker. Yeah, but it's just spontaneous? No, it's controlled, motherfucker! Sometimes it's with vacuum tubes. So the problem is I'll ask somebody, and it's like some people do generally know,

but then you want to ask more details, like I don't know, you're gonna have to ask this guy. It's like everyone, to be honest, I haven't put that much research into this. Yeah, you should, because the first computers were just ticket machines. It's a binary zeros and ones man Okay, I get that but it's like one. I'm talking about like, you know a gaming PC. It's just that

How does why how does how does it like how does I can't live telling our computers work, bro? It's I promise you it's not as complicated Is it a weird you're running windows on your computer or like whatever you have a Mac sure That's like a program and then any program you run like a Program in a program how does that work? It's working because it executes code which uses electricity to do zeros and ones more Do you think given? Okay, right. Do you accept that? I accept that. No, I don't accept that. What the fuck? I'm accepting that these aren't touching. No, this is the true

The true scientific mind does not accept what he's not fully understand You know why it doesn't help is not a good answer because you wouldn't be able to use that that information to make a computer You would need more info, but it's like you have to go deeper into how to make the ones and zeros Do the thing you actually do it just does that but it's multiplied by like a trillion I feel like it's crazy that that we're on this stage and Nigel Can't answer this but if we had a kid up here who was really good at redstone and Minecraft, he'd get 100%. Yeah, 100%. Actually, redstone is what did unlock the idea for me because the fact that they can make a calculator and a TV in that, it's like okay. Did you see that there was a maybe this was a year ago, but it was somebody had finally

recreated running Minecraft inside of Minecraft. Yeah. Because you can make a computer in Minecraft. This was a trend way before with Doom. Everyone's running Doom on whatever they could. Right? That was the name. I should I should add more. It's not just how like the software. It's the circuit board itself, like all the parts. I don't know how that works. I'm with you. I'm on your team. And that's why I'm so confident.

But I know as a fact, given a millennial, he could not really build a game computer. And his explanation is not satisfactory. Bro, it's just because, OK, it's ones and zeros. OK, how does the transistor do? And why does the zero shake like that? And why do you have resistors and capacitors? It changes the amount of electricity to turn the thing on or off using a semi-conductor

So why doesn't it just turn on off constantly? Well, it does but it's being controlled through a semiconductor which is uses What is a semiconductor? It uses silicon, right? Which is not necessarily, here's the chip. Sometimes it does. We got the chip right here. That's the chip right there. I've looked at fucking silicon diagrams because I was so pissed off. This guy seems much more in all his role than I expected. I was pissed off that I didn't know what this shit did. So I just watched a bunch of videos and I learned all this kind of on a level where

I'm like, I kind of get it. But if I had to teach someone, you're stuck. We gotta do something else. As fast and abrasive as he is, he does love watching three hour videos about stuff like this. I actually do that quite often and then I remembered nothing. Yeah, it's hard to remember.

I remember that I should know it. Yeah. I saw this in depth, but I can't remember a single thing. Isn't that half the battle? Yeah. So, okay, what, let's hit number two, because I want to finish this list.

Cap's asym was first. Yes. Oh, wow. I completely forgot where we were at. Welcome to the art. And that's why we're professionals. OK, this is normal. We bring it back.

This is very normal. Yeah, yeah. We actually have been letting you talk quite a bit. You're letting you talk more than we let other guests talk. Oh, wow. It's an honor. Because people are mad at us for that. But you're also fascinating.

I'll just go silence. Silence. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Give, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, liquid, non-metal elemental liquid at room temperature. Oh. Non-metal elemental. Wait, no, no, no, no, shit about that. You guys are fucking morons. I mean, I understand what he said. What does bromine do?

I understand what he said. It's a halogen, so it's similar to chlorine, so. Oh. Yeah. Does that- Like that was one of his favorites. Yeah, it's kind of, it does what chlorine can do, but like a little bit different. Can you have a bromine pool? Actually people do brominate their pools. was like you know, it's very similar to brominate your I'm gonna brominate all over your fucking face

So like spas and stuff they just sell like bromine tablets instead of is it more expensive No, I think they got rid of it because it's a bromine has some lip like low-level toxicity I think they got rid of it because it's a bromine has some lip like low-level toxicity Why is woke not letting us play with mercury at home so mercury is actually surprisingly safe So that's what I'm saying bring back mercury. You know why I have fucking feelings I have feelings in my teeth, and I remember was getting him. I was a teenager. You're not I mean what you're slowly poisoning yourself And you will die right and I'm like what the fuck I know it's fine. They're like it's Algamon. It's got mercury in it. I'm like what the Why do they put that in our mouth? Okay, so I can kind of tell you why okay basically

Before you know the modern age of like a lot of the materials that people discovered like Plastics and other ceramics if you drill the tooth out and there's a hole in it mm-hmm what would you fill it with paper shreds paper shredding paper that you have you have to be able to chew really hard things for a long period it has to stay there for a long time I would I would replace it with an elephant's tooth molded to fit inside my tooth not bad but I would that how would you how would you because if there's cracks in it? That'll just lead to another cavity you have to seal it. Oh Dement what would you use cement cement break apart and it?

If acid will will slowly etch it away aluminum. That's also pretty reactive. Have you ever bit aluminum? Yeah It's tear if you have fillings, it's terrible. That would hurt so bad. So, kind of the reasoning why the mercury amalgam was made is it's actually... My friend's a dentist, and she was telling me that technically, in many ways, the mercury amalgam is still better than a lot of the, like, composites, or like the ceramic stuff that they use nowadays. They just don't use it for like talk some toxicity concerns and look, but it's like theoretically, it is a very good material.

Wow, so we kind of just like, we were goaded for figuring that out so long ago. Yeah, I think it, I think, cause you can mix it and it makes like, well, it's kind of like a quick epoxy and then you put it in the tooth. It's like, you can mold it, it slowly hardens so you can like shape it.

And I think when it solidifies, it expands. So it actually seals all the cracks as it expands. I could be wrong about that. And it becomes really hard. It's non-reactive. What are the risks of the mercury then? It's like, theoretically, if you swallow it over time, it can have some issue.

But I think it's like, they've done studies and it's like virtually undetectable. So we can put mercury back in the kids lunches at schools. It's no problem. I think that's different They took it out of the they took out the asbestos. They took out the mercury. Yeah, they still have the lead I went to school. I got my mercury sloppy joe and I said, thank you And it was glowing silver. What makes lead so bad? Uh, I mean, I don't know that deep. I don't know too much about it. I think it like messes up your neurons, I think.

Neurons. And it makes you dumb. Neurons. But I think I remember them saying that the scary part about lead, I mean, you get any heavy metal, you get a lot of it, you just get like, you know, metabolic problems and you'll have acute poisoning and you have to go to the hospital. But like- How cute? Very. But low levels, if you get low level heavy metal poisoning like from lead, the problem

is that you won't really notice. It just lowers the, if you do it on a population scale, it lowers the average IQ by five. So it means that you lose all your geniuses and double the people on the very, very low end. So it's like you really hurts your society. Isn't it? Once we're caught, we're getting two slimes. Isn't there a crazy, two guys that know about computers. Oh no. There's a crazy theory about how in America, because of the commonality of lead paint in things like toys It was gasoline for the generation

Oh yeah, and gasoline And that was a huge reason why crime rose in the United States Yeah, I don't doubt it There's a Veritasium video That guy's bald, right? He's here No, he has hair You're thinking of Michael Vsauce here He's a different guy.

He just dropped a vid. I get shit on by these chuckle heads because I don't watch a lot of YouTube. Why? I guess I just watch very specific YouTube. Why don't we pump the brakes? Let's correct that. He watches a shit ton of YouTube. Unquestionably. He watches the most. And that's why it's so strange. I'm sorry. I don't watch a bunch of like, I watch very specific YouTube.

Like what? Like what? Broski? He plays Aki in Street Fighter. That's very specific. You know what I'm saying? I don't know who that is, but it's very specific. He's great.

He once watched like a two hour video on like motherboard testing. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people do that, by the way. Anyway, so they come to me and like, we're gonna have Nile Redd on. I'm like, oh, that's the bald guy. Right? Like, I don't know any of these. I don't know anything Because you actually met him you show up you look great not you already met me

It's like you did know me, but you forgot me did free. I feel bad That's because you know why I met slime sickle right after he had a wolf cut the wolf cut was crazy I'm sickles. Why is that changing still has it still has it who's slime sickle and Again, here we are in the ball keeps rolling and the hurt people keep hurting The wolf cut was crazy. Slime-sicle's here? Why is that changing? He still has it. He still has it. Who's slime-sicle? And here we are again. And the ball keeps rolling on it. And the hurt people keep hurting. You know, you're not in my phone algorithm or my computer algorithm.

You're in my TV algorithm. So I get Nile Red videos on the TV. I was gonna say, you know why that's good? Why is that? I think you get more ads. Way more ads. You get like a TV level amount of commercial ads. Thank you.

One time I got 10 unskippable. 10? 10? Again, thank you. Unskippable. No, I'm not watching that. I'm clicking out every single time. Why don't you have premium on your TV?

I'm just lazy. I just have it logged in. That is so embarrassing. Are you logged in? Yeah, she's logged in. That's why zipper to So, okay Bromine mercury it that's good. I didn't want to leave this I didn't want to leave this because I've seen you touch mercury

Can I just buy mercury and touch it I'll be fine because I do want to do this Yeah, if I don't have a cut so the danger with mercury is more breathing the vapor So it's like and but when it's at room temperature. It doesn't let off that like much vapor I wouldn't be like I wear my woke mask Really stop it over the papers Stop the vapor. I don't think so, but they're very heavy so they will like not they're not like flying in the air Fauci lies That's why he rides around a

stance on the Canadian That's why he rides around in a bike with a limo. Nile Red takes a stance on Dr. Fauci. The Canadian that speaks up. Do we have the border under the video now? I have a good question. You remember the fires in California early in January? It was very close to us and my house was just really, really near

the zone of that. What I did, they told us not to use the water. They told us not to drink with it. The water supply, yeah. The water supply at the time, because it was like, burn, all this is burned, whatever, it's burned, right? And they told us not to like cook with it or whatever.

I would go home sometimes. And do it anyway. I was sleeping at the office. I would go home and take a shower. Which I think about it sometimes. What is your question? You said I have a good question. My question is, was it bad?

Probably. Probably? Really? Dumbass question, bro. I don't even know what the risk is. If I ask again, can we roll a better answer that would make me feel better? I don't even know what the risk was. Like what they were saying that you could have. Well, I can explain it. So you know how like none of you is actually touching and you're made of holes?

Yes. Well, all the bad chemicals in the water seeped into those holes But the good news is it's not touching you. Yeah, that's not actually Real yes You can't die in a car crash because you can ever be touched by a car Why you die because you're not getting touched No, I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking I think it's cuz you stopped you suddenly that's like if you could touch them all cuz you go like through the car

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, and that's like the rare like if you punch a wall There's supposed to be one trillion chance you can punch through it like in the minute won't let you touch it It just like you just Yes, don't touch it. Let us touch we could phase through Exactly, and then we wouldn't worry about car crashes. Fire Mr. Beast video. But you also couldn't even sit in the car. Punching a wall until it goes right through.

And I don't touch it. He would kill that. What do you watch on YouTube? Lambastin, when he said he didn't watch YouTube, he lied. Oh, yeah. You made a noise like, oh my gosh, how do you not watch YouTube? Well, because I just figured you guys are YouTube guys.

By our looks? I want to be so clear. I don't know. I want to be so clear. He is a YouTube guy. He lays on his. By our looks? I wanna be so clear. I wanna be so clear. He is a YouTube guy. He lays on his floor and watches YouTube for extended periods of time. We are all YouTube guys and I'm wondering are you YouTube guys?

Yeah, I probably primarily watch YouTube. Honestly, right now, I feel like I go through phases where it's like, I think this is kind of everyone, your algorithm's good. Yeah. And you just keep getting like good stuff and then eventually you're like, it's just trash. Yes. Some people are getting Nile Red videos and some people are getting now red videos and some people are

getting what if the Flintstones were in 2020 it's different types of people it's sometimes it's just a great I'll be like oh I'm so excited to watch everything like it just recommends like you know some documentaries I don't know like a bunch of cool science content and sometimes it's just like I don't know what it is just trash like it's not necessarily brain rot it's just like, I don't even know what it is, just trash, like it's not even necessarily brain rot, it's just like pointless videos. What would an example be? Now without like trying to light somebody up, but like.

Ludwig Oggren? Yeah, Ludwig is Amazon stream number 17. I don't know, if that meant, I don't know. But I feel like in general I do just watch like, probably a lot of science stuff. You know what I don't like about the algorithm is that it's time sensitive. So like my algorithm that I get at nighttime is always the same stuff.

Really? And not the videos I get recommended during the day. Huh. So for example, every single if I open my phone to YouTube anytime after like midnight, Gotham chess, nothing else. It's nighttime. Really? It's because it knows your habit.

It's time to habit. Yes. So I have to break the habit, because it knows your habit. It's bedtime. Yes. So I have to break the habit, but it's hard to break the habit when like I still want to watch YouTube to fall asleep. So when I open it, it's all those videos. I'm like, I now have to search something. You have to make a new profile.

I don't have an idea. You need a night profile in a day. But if I make a new profile, it's like, it's like what happens if you dump slime on Legos? And I'm like, I don't want that either. You've got to start fresh. You're starting new. You're level one. I have to use the search feature.'m like, I don't want that either. You've got to start fresh, you're starting new, you're level one. I have to use the search feature. Yes.

And I don't have an idea, and it's timely. I want the idea to come from the algorithm. You want to know this. I didn't know the food it gives you. Because I just realized that after 11 p.m., all of a sudden YouTube starts feeding me full face it VODs of Counter-Strike players. And it's because I've been just leaving them on

while I fall asleep Yeah, but I don't get recommended them in the middle of the day and my TV algorithms different than my fucking phone algorithm What the fuck is that about? It knows maybe by time of day cuz I mean I watch TV at the same time of day It very it knows me better than I know me I get I get now red videos I don't even know anything about science. I get every now to my night videos is not red videos. Really? Yeah.

I'm the last thing you hear before you go to sleep. Yeah, every time. It's so beautiful. Just like that guy that made his fake channel. You're going to fall asleep and you might not wake up. Dude, the purple gold videos are my favorite videos. Really? I love that video.

Oh, I see that one. Thank you, thank you. That video rules. I like made my own Red Bull. I was gonna ask, do you ever just like see something at the store or like Taco Bell and you're just like, I see that one. Thank you, thank you. That video rules. I like made my own Red Bull. I was gonna ask, do you ever just like see something at the store or like Taco Bell and you're just like, I could make that. I guess, yeah, it depends.

I'm not Taco Bell. I don't have to go buy it. It's a taco. That's like food, bro. No, no, no, no. If I go make a taco at home, it doesn't taste like Taco Bell. They give you specific ingredients. Yeah.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm gonna put you on blast right here. We talked about this before the show. He can't do that. Make a Taco Bell taco? Have you seen this guy try to cook? I can cook, I just don't do it a put you on blast right here. We talked about this before the show He can't do that. I think it talk about talk. Have you seen this guy try to cook I can cook I just don't do it a lot. No this guy this guy he the cookies you made Were they ass? We mean the cookie. That's a cookie. That's big. That was literally the first time I've ever made a cookie

I know I could tell oh you should go on master baker actually know that would be fire. I will tell you I've baked before We all I see make policy take one master be pancakes pancakes waffles But from scratch, what's the best thing you can cook? Best thing I can come on and die me I just make my chicken Like like the Indian dish you make an make butter chicken. Oh! Like the Indian dish? You make an electric butter chicken? It's kind of the only thing I've ever tried to make, but...

I mean, that's kind of awesome. How did you find that recipe? What made you start making it? You have it once and you're like, I'll start making it? I can tell you how. Basically, one day I was like, I'm sick and tired of bad butter chicken. You want to change the world. So I looked up butter chicken recipe. You're putting change the world. So I looked up butter chicken recipe.

You're putting Montreal on blast. It was the first result. That's crazy bro. That's so funny. And straight up it is actually one of my favorite recipes. Cause that's like an LA native. I have never had this problem. It's like butter chicken everywhere.

It's just so good. Yeah like the butter chicken here is good. I don't know. I've gone to places that say they're good butter chicken. I'll have to. Oh you're a snob about it. I'm a bit of a snob. I wouldn't trust any Quebecois motherfucker to make it.

You love just all forms of chicken. Some people it's like too tomato-y, other people it's like, yeah, it's not enough butter. Butter chicken nuggets, you ever try that? That would go... You're onto something. I already butter chicken nuggets. It is a stegosaurus, baby. Yes!

This is genius. This is really good. He likes it. He actually likes it. I'm inside the short now. I guess I will have to steal the recipe of that person that I found. Combine it with the recipe for Dino Nuggets. You can patent a recipe. You know how that works is what you can copyright or make yours is the caught like talking about it like so you can be like my grandma loved these Dino chicken nuggets oh that's why there's always like exposition and editorializing to make that piece their own that was in the old days when people wrote shit though no one really does that anymore that's why Plankton wants to steal a

recipe so bad because if he can steal it he faces no legal repercussions exactly right there's no way for the copyright law to protect mr. Krabs this kind of like YouTube. I was in the creator bus on the way over here and there was a creator behind me, I don't know who it was, but they were just like, bro stole my whole video. I was like, I have to imagine that's like half the conversations here for maker YouTubers just constantly getting their ideas stolen. I mean, the thing with, for me, it doesn't happen that often because obviously the stuff

I do is like either I think on the blue channel like stupid or on The red channel just like too much effort. Yeah, but it is every so often where they'll be like I want to make something and then I spend the next I'm not constantly working at it I spend like two years working on it. Oh my god, like on off. Yeah, like on and off And then it's like finally I'm like, I'm gonna finish it. I finally finish it and then I Go on YouTube and some guys like oh, yeah, I just posted a video on it. I'm like, really? What's an example of something that took two years of buildup? I mean, kind of everything I'm working on right now.

Really? I've been trying to make magnets. Oh! I've been, this actually did finish, turning air into alcohol. So fire. You're so tapped in. I want to make my own tungsten cubes. I've actually tried it out. So why do these things take so long?

Are you like interlocking projects? Is it because you can only work on certain things at certain stages at certain times? Like why? A lot of honestly, a lot of it is just like for certain things, there's just like lead times. Like if you're building something, there's one that, for example, the air to alcohol,

it's a lot of variables to manage. And like sometimes you go to buy a part and you're like, I need this one part. And then you go and you find the only company that sells it. And they're like, yeah, it's eight week lead time. And you're like, oh, okay. So I'm not working on this for the next two months. So how, do you have projects plan?

Like when you think about the videos you're releasing for this year or next year, do you have things planned out like when you think about the videos you're releasing for this year next year Do you have things planned out all the way through then you have things that are in the process? Yeah, there's always like something how many parts you juggling right now. I Think though it sounds ridiculous, but it's funny cuz I'll say but like the first time that I Would say the number it was in my head. I'm like, oh, that's cool That's so many projects, but now I've realized that's like no, it's miserable. Mm-hmm. I think it was like 23 23 long form. Yeah, but then I was like wait, I only post like two a year. This is like

They're all gonna hit it once yeah, that's so that's actually they're all kind of finishing Yeah, so I have four now in the backlog Whoa, do you do you do you prefer to like just once those four go out keep working or do you like I'll take a break? No, I'm honest. I'm just trying to finish everything that's been in the backlog for like two years So like when you get through the whole backlog you'll have you're not gonna release them all at once I've told myself I won't add anything new. I'm just literally finishing everything I started and then what happens when what happens? Well, and then NileRedGaming. No, no, stop. What happens? NileRedGaming.

Oh, NileRed React? You take break? In ten years, yeah. Because it'll, so, I mean, like, this is like... I don't know. I mean, is this a serious question? Yeah, no, no, I mean, this is a serious question, like, because I like watching NileRed videos,

and I think... This is fucking serious. What are you doing? Put the fidget spinner away. Put the fidget spinner away. It's really funny. So you have 23 videos in your pipeline. It's going to take you, who knows, you have five years, 10 years,

a long time to finish them. I'm hoping to actually finish them in like two years, all of them. So in two years you finish 23 of these projects you've been working on and then what happens? Are you going to add another 10? I think it's like as I get to the end, you start to that's when you start to put on the gas a little bit. No, yeah, you will you add like you trickle in a few more.

But I think in general, I've thought about some of the RedVue, they're just so unsustainable to try to make them. I mean, I think I have to find we just hired a guy or a friend of mine to like try to help out and he's helped a lot. But it's like some of these big projects, it's like just straight up, like too much to think about. And we started stacking all of them together. It's just kind of unsustainable to, I think, like, live a reasonable life and try to have to manage all that on my own. Even with like a bit of help.

How big is your team? Uh, I've total, but only one of them works with me on the projects. But it's still like, I'm still doing all the decision making and it's like, he's not an engineer. So, I mean, I'm not an engineer. Do you edit your own videos? I have help with for editing. Will you make videos forever until you die? I don't know. I think so, probably.

That's cool. I feel like it's one of the- or at least do projects forever. Yeah. How did you know? Because you said you were still a lab tech when you posted your first video, right? So how long did it take you to go full-time? Like how do you make the decision that, okay, this is my new gig in life direction versus what you were- So the very like quick version was I posted in 2014 and then I quit that lab tech job and I actually went on vacation touring. versus what you were... So the very like quick version was I posted in 2014

and then I quit that lab tech job and I actually went on vacation touring. I went around just traveling around the world for like four months, came back, got a job at a grocery store. And then I was like, okay, I need to like figure out what I'm doing. So I actually got, I started a master's degree in chemistry

and that went on for like seven months and that kind of taught me. I'm like, I don't want to do this. And during that time I was like, why would I do this when I'm like doing my own chemistry? Then right after that, I started a Patreon and I was making between YouTube and the Patreon, it was like minimum wage. So I'm like, hell yeah, I know I can never justify getting a minimum wage job. Well, it doesn't really count because that's the total revenue. And so like. The total revenue is minimum wage, and to me, that was close enough. Yeah, that was like when I said, I'm going to do this for one year and see where it goes. So then by 2017, I was like, I mean, it seems to have grown.

I. Unless it starts going down, I'm going to keep doing this. So by 2017, you're making more than minimum wage. It still wasn't that much, but it was kind of like it was probably, I would say, like maybe 20. I would say like between 20 and I don't remember now, but 20 and 50 percent more. So now I'm like, I think I was making the equivalent salary as if I got a grad student job. Yeah. So I was like, wow, like 40K a year. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like 40k a year. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a lot. So maybe it was like double minimum wage. I don't know what the numbers are now, but I was just like, OK, well, now I can't justify going back to grad school. Sure. Because you would just wind up with the job that's

making equivalent or less money anyway. Yeah, and it was work that I might not like as much. So I'm just going to keep going until. Yeah, it feels like you've kind of just always been like, well, I guess I'll keep going. Well, I'm just gonna keep going until... Yeah, it sounds like you've kind of just always like, well I guess I'll keep going. Well, I guess I'll keep going. So even when I... Then 2018 I rented like a lab space.

Yeah. And then I hired my brother and even that time we're like, yeah, this might just be fun for a couple years. We'll just go until the money runs out. Older brother, younger brother? On younger. When did things actually blow up? It was 2019.

Like we, my brother talks about this. It was right before VidCon of twenty nineteen. We posted a video on turning old jewelry into gold, not turning it. Purifying the gold out of old jewelry and basically the views and revenue on that, if you look to the

metrics was like this is the metric. And then for three days it was like. Like Mount Everest. As soon as you hit that is the next video a banger? No not really but it just kind of was like actually sorry sorry right before that was I posted one called aluminum and mercury that was 20 late 2017 yeah that's actually about how your kids can eat mercury and it's actually fun. When I did that I was like oh my god I can actually like this I remember I remember pretty vividly I'm like this could go somewhere, but it's so went back to that. We'll see what happens Then it was 2019 with the gold one that I'm like, oh my god. I

Think this is like I've won the game. Well, I was like I still had no idea what I was doing, but I really did feel like I could actually build something. Yeah, that makes sense. What's the most money you spent on some shit? you bought some crazy gadgets. I cannot say. What? What do you mean you can't say? Can you tell us how much it was? Like can you tell them how much it was and then tell us what it is? Yeah. Like what parts the... okay okay how much is it? So I'm working on a project now where there's a whole part where it's another turning actually I Can just say what it is actually the next video that I'm posting I mention it. Okay. I mean should I My god, it's up to you. Mr. Beast leaked a video on podcast

Decide if you want to censor it Throughout my YouTube career, I just like would arbitrarily keep things secret, but now it just like doesn't matter. So yeah, so I still have that hesitancy. Basically, the follow-up, my brother and I want to do like this whole series of just turning air into things. So one we want to do is turning air into diamond. So to do that, you need to like, I mean, sequester stuff from the air, turn it into methane gas, and then use that to grow a diamond. And originally I was gonna just, I was like, I'm gonna build my own diamond grower.

But I realized that would probably never work. And then I found a good deal on a diamond machine. What the fuck is a diamond machine? Diamond machine turns stuff into diamond. It's like a chemical diamond. You can grow diamond. Don a lab-grown diamond. Some folks say, Jared, is that not just a sheet in your head? No, it's actually pretty complicated.

And even now, the whole industry is kind of exploding. And it's like kind of complicated and difficult to make money. If you're going to propose to your girl, you have to ask if she wants a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond. Most will switch to lab grown. Natural will be ethical concerns with the natural diamonds

in the diamond farming industry. Whoa. That's clear. Whoa. Whoa. AK-47s. I bet he's got a couple kids in the garage making the diamonds. So yeah.

The kids work on the machine. The kids could not work on the machines. They're too complicated. Too complicated? You can teach the kids a lot these days. Wait, how much is this diamond-growing machine? Actually now they think of it. Sorry. I got can yeah I can just tell you what I got a really good deal cuz like a lot of diamond-growing machines people say it's probably like

They they were usually quoted like 200k us For the machine usually yeah, but then I randomly found one that was It's got it for lightly 85, 85 K. How can you with your hands? Can you show me how big it is? Oh, it's not that big. I thought it was room size. Can you just make the Hope Diamond and sell it for 20 billion?

No. Why? It's actually difficult to make big diamonds because it'll like break apart. I don't actually know the true reason, but basically to grow a diamond, you need a diamond seed and to get big diamonds. Because it'll like break apart? I don't actually know the true reason, but basically to grow a diamond you need a diamond seed and to get a diamond- What the fuck? Wait is that real? Is this Zelda? A diamond seed?

A diamond seed? The analogy I give is kind of like making sourdough bread. Oh you need a starter? Yes, you need a starter. Where's like- it's kind of like where did the first sourdough start? San Francisco. Actually? No.

What's the diamond seed? So the- where did the first sourdough start San Francisco actually no what is the diamond seat so the first sourdough start stay on track don't get distracted we need to make diamonds so basically I think the original ones came from natural diamonds so they would like with a laser they slice a very thin just square of diamond. And then from that, if you put a, you have to put plasma over it with you shoot methane and hydrogen in.

That's just one of the methods. And it will slowly grow and deposit diamond, deposit diamond on it and slowly grow from there. And you'll end up with like a diamond cube. I thought you compressed carbon. That's another method. Oh, there's two ways. That takes a disgustingly huge expensive machine.

That's what I was thinking of. Oh, so that's a more expensive machine. That's high pressure, high temperature. And does that make a better diamond? I think technically it's lower quality, but it's faster. You can also make that with his ass. If I squeeze hard enough. That's right.

We make a diamond out of that. How many rooms in your home are just full of bullshit? Like machines and chemicals and tubes? I don't put all this in my home. Oh wow. We have an office. An office space. Do you, dude, I was gonna ask you, do you, what's your thoughts on time crystals?

Denuinely. I have zero thoughts. What are you talking about? It's a state of, wait. Are you talking about like a sauna thing? It's a state of matter, don't you talking about? It's a state of... Are you talking about like a sonic thing? It's a state of matter, don't you know about this? There are seven states of matter, one of them is time crystals.

Is this what you watch on YouTube? Dude, it's real! You're gonna go home and you're gonna be like, I'm so dumb. Time crystal is real. What is a time crystal? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you're talking about like the things they put in watches to keep time. Yes. No, no, bastard. It's like in the courts?

Yeah, I was gonna say. Yes. Okay, you're not, so you're actually talking about... What is a time crystal? A novel phase of matter that exhibits a repeating pattern of motion over time. Unlike regular crystals which repeat in space, time crystals repeat in time. It's a state of matter. What are you talking about?

It's fucking freaky, man! He's watching the in condensed matter physics is a quantum system of particles whose lowest energy state is one of the But did you learn this on YouTube no no someone told me about them And he actually sold me three Me about them. And he actually sold me three. But I can't give them out. It is a state of matter like liquid, gas, or plasma, but it's also time crystals.

Dude, here's the thing, Slime. I think you think, because Niall Red is in a science sphere, that he just fucking knows and gives a shit about time crystals. You guys are asking me a lot of questions that have nothing to do with chemistry. This feels like it kind of has to do with chemistry, am I crazy? We were talking about crystals, to be fair. State of Matters 2 also, it's kinda like asking, hey, you know, do you play Valorant if you

play Counter-Strike? Very similar. Is it? So, okay, so one thing, so this is one thing I'll say that I think is kind of interesting. When, how was I gonna say, when science first began, right, you know, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of science. When Newton had the apple. Even caveman.

Copernicus. I think they just said you were like a natural philosopher. I guess what it was. You're just like a guy who like thought about things, I guess. So there wasn't a division between chemistry and physics. You were just like, I don't know, it was just stuff you thought about. It was just the field of thinking. Yeah, so over time, people were like,

nah, chemistry is more of this thing. And as it got more complicated, like physics is more of this. And we still have like this blended area where it's like physical chemistry, which is like lasers and, so on one side you have like pure physics, the other side is chemistry, and then there's physical chemistry.

And it's like, I do more on the chemistry side. I game out you with a physics question. But it could be physical chemistry, is what you're talking about. And that's different. That's different. That's mom math. That's good, that's good. So I understand the misunderstanding.

Just oh no, we're gonna, me and Niall are gonna make a new type of weapon. We're gonna make a new type of chemical and we're gonna make you drink it. It's gonna hurt. Yeah, that's awesome. I didn't mean to come at your neck. I do have another question. Do you remember, do you have in your head your biggest hater? Do you read comments, but your content's like pretty normal, like innocuous, right?

It's hard to hate on you. The Ni. I think that like, I remember, I don't know about you guys, like we get haters. No no but when you first start content, there's a time where you have no haters because your community's small and you're like man I'm just unhatable. And you're growing, you're on top of the world and it loves you and you're getting bigger and it's like, man, I'm just unhatable. And you're growing, you're on top of the world, and it loves you, and you're getting bigger, and it's like, wow. Yes, and then one day, you just get a comment like, this guy sucks. Yes. Like this guy looks stupid, sounds stupid,

and is dumb. This guy sucks at basketball. Yeah. You're surprisingly bad at a sport that you've talked about a lot. I think what happens is, I mean, it's fun, or maybe permissible to dunk on a big guy, and you're a big guy.

Well, I think also what I would always notice is when your video goes to like it hits in part of the algorithm That's like not your audience. See if people just don't care They're just they just watch the video and just they don't get it. This video happened to them is the way This happens with shorts way more often. Yes Like they would break out further. And I remember we have one like this where we're making a joke about the Nintendo Switch game Arms, which is not a great game. And we're talking about how it's funny that Tommy Innit hit up Ludwig to play it.

This reached far beyond our audience. It's a really boring, nonsensical TikTok. But did it make people mad? Yeah, and they're like, who are these three assholes making fun of arms? It is the most mean comments I've ever seen on one of our videos, and it's just that. That's so interesting.

I didn't know that happened to us. And that's their only exposure, is they love arms, and we are three people who are making fun of arms. It's just people who really like that game. But what do your hater comments even say? Some people just like they don't like the way I talk. They don't...

Oh, okay. Some people, some of the hate, I mean, with everyone, some of the hate doesn't... I'm not really sure what it means. Do you ever get hate from the science community? So I did years ago. I think I remember on Twitter, like I was just getting some hate from some people. And it was just kind of confusing because some of the hate they said didn't really found like, it didn't sound like they were hating me. It sounded like they were hating the idea of me.

So like one of them was like, I hate that this I don't agree with his comment anyway, his implication, but he's like, I hate use, Nio Red isn't smart. And I hate you guys now red isn't smart and I hate that everyone I work with thinks that I was just like so he's actually dumb and I'm like wait okay I don't agree that like you're so they said he's like some genius I'm like I don't agree with that but also like it sounds like you have some petty beefs with your co-workers I think I'm smart to it's like I'm not really part of it, no. This is a guy like all his coworkers laugh and talk about your videos.

Yeah. And he's like over in the corner of the break room. And he doesn't get it, he doesn't like it. He's like pissed off. And he finds your video to comment that. To me it was like, I never, I never really watched Game of Thrones for example. Same. And when it was big and everyone would be talking about it,

I'd be like, guys, that show's dumb. Like I would just be like, I'm so left out that I'm going to just be a hater. Yeah. That's how a hater is molded. I've actually never experienced that. Really? You've never been a hater? No.

He's almost exclusive. Oh my God, why even? That one was for the kids. That was the friends at home. Look how fat he got. Yeah, the friends at home love that one. Do you have a dream collab? I don't know, you don't really do collabs, do you?

So for the longest time I never did, because I had like visions and ideas of how my content would go. He bottled fart with Charlie the other day. Yeah, so I've been doing more collabs. But I like doing it on other people's channels, kind of like what I said, we did a Q&A and someone asked what we think about collabs and stuff. And I was like, I like doing it on other people's channels, kind of like what I said. We did a Q&A and someone asked, like, what we think about collabs and stuff.

And I was like, I like the ones where I don't have to do any of the editing. And I show up and a video appears on the internet. Like this. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Well, happy to have you contributed to that. That was fake. What?

The one with you and Charlie. What do you mean that's fake? They tried to make fart ice. Well, we had to freeze the fart. Free, they were trying to freeze the fart. But farted for it. That was the issue. Fart for me. Their fart was so bad. Well, we had to freeze the fart. Free, they were trying to freeze the fart. Who farted for it? That was the issue. Fart from each other.

Their fart was so bad. Yeah, we, um. You got weak fart? They had weak ass fart. I was promised a big game. I could honestly, I could introduce you to a guy. I can't even pull. Who could really.

We have a real, don't show him. Don't show him. It was insane. Don't show him. The guy's lactose intolerant. He literally drank milk and nothing happened. Yeah, he got stage fright or something. Yeah, I told him like, dude, I don't guy's lactose intolerant. He literally drank milk and nothing happened. Yeah, he got stage fright or something. Yeah, I told him like, dude, I don't believe you're lactose intolerant.

So you got this chemist in the building, he's working with like peanuts. He's working with the weakest fart you've ever heard of. Nigel, we got a video for you. Sure. We'll put this on the screen for the audience. This was this morning. Where's what coming from? Use the mic.

Actually, no, it's fine. We'll put it on the screen. Why do you have this recorded I don't know. I'm scared. I just wanted you to let you know that. That's impressive. That's impressive. I don't think I have a digestive issue.

You have an awesome diet. I know you have a digestive issue. When I met Slime, he told me a story once about how he had a Domino's pizza that he believes stayed inside of his body for years and years and coated his intestines in a way that changed the way he poops. In a bad way. In a bad way. In a bad way. In a way that soil made way he poops and put her bad way in a bad way in a way that soil It made his farts and poops rotten forever

I think I was when I was 21 and it was the dominoes on North Avenue in Grand Junction, Colorado if it's still there and I ate a whole piece of myself and it changed the way I should have and farted for I think eight years I think you it was just like covered in bacteria or something. But I think... Like changed your entire gut bio. I think it did, but I think it came back. Like I think right now I've hit like this normalized...

He now thinks he can control the smell of his fart. I do. I don't think... How is it though? Like as somebody... So you have some very smelly farts, is that what I'm gathering? Well, the thing is... If he decides to, is what he likes. If I decide...

Yeah, that's a lot of okay. He thinks he can decide if it smells or not. I can choose. I don't want to do the podcast anymore. And everyone calls me fucking stupid, and they say I'm dumb, and they say you can't do that. You can withhold the methane release. It's like a flashbang, I can choose the flashbang. Or choose the flashbang or I can choose the flashbang really is a binary

It's either banging or it's not no flashbang versus HE Okay damage. Hmm. They're like no damage. So What do you think about that? I? Know the body human body is an incredible thing. It's so incredible isn't it? Beautiful even and Who am I to doubt this? Yeah? Thank you Wow So fucking hard you guys just to be a guy who's like you know what that sounds fine and on that note to the people at Home, thank you for watching the yard podcast. I have to say one thing that will mean nothing to you, okay, but I have to say Shout out to Ian

Shout out to Ian shout out to Ian. Shout out to Ian. Shout out to Ian. Yeah, you guys can say it too. Kill yourself Ian. Oh no. If you're watching this, it's time. Here's my zeroing endorsement. Shout out to Ian from Montreal. My friend Ian from Montreal. Okay, shout out Ian, my bad. My bad, my bad. He has been talking about you guys for like, at least since like for over a year and a half. Oh really? And guys for like, at least since I've, like for over a year and a half. Oh really? And he's like, he's like, dude,

if you ever get on this podcast, I need a shout out. Shout out to Ian. Shout out to Montreal. Can I ask, before we wrap, when you go back to Montreal, you're back home from all this convention, all the hubbub, and you see Ian, you go, I was on. Yeah. And he says, how was it?

What are you gonna say? Pretty good, okay Good We'll take pretty good if you can say that after the last five minutes Only an only answer if you want to you don't you don't have to cut or uncut You're allowed to deny the question totally okay, you know what? You're allowed to deny the question. Totally okay not to answer. You know what?

I'm not denying the question, but I do want the mystery to be... It's uncut. I can tell you guys. It's uncut. It's a hard read. It is a coin flip. I think if you want to mystery, you're uncut. You guys can take your bets.

I'll put the house on uncut. Yeah, I hope they got it. Okay, you guys can take your bets and then I will confirm. It's uncut for sure. It's uncut for sure It's uncut for sure I will confirm $500 You're saying the same thing I'm saying uncut too

$500 We can smell our own If you want something uncut We're going into the Patreon episode now So you can go over to the Patreon And you can go watch So have a good day. Thank you for coming.

Thank you for having me. It's a beautiful song. Goodbye, everybody. Goodbye. Get your bromine away from me. My bromine.
