We're hot.
We're hot.
We are, we are...
Zip says we're hot.
As if we're in some sort of flame.
As if we're, we're dachsing in some flame.
That work?
Bandom dags.
Bannum dags.
What are you guys talking about?
Well, we have to get out all of the niche, very modern streaming references now in case he doesn't get them.
Okay.
Because we have a very fucked up life where no one understands.
I can't believe that Jason killed his girlfriend.
We're going to have a 45 segment where I explained Jekura to our next guest.
And the future replacement of Aiden on this podcast forever.
Dax Flay!
Oh, no.
All right.
Wow, he stops halfway down. It's okay.
We gotta grease the slide.
We gotta get, yeah, we gotta oil up the slide.
Or we just have water perpetually going down.
Is that a problem, if we covered you an oil,
would that be a problem for you, Dax?
Um, like for the, for the slide.
Yeah, for the slide, yeah.
Yeah, I don't think I would wanna do that.
Okay, yeah, fair enough.
Fine, fine, all right.
God, I love seeing you in that chair specifically,
because you don't, you haven't met him,
but we have a friend named Aiden who usually sits in that chair.
And it would just be so much better,
if it was you. You're doing such a better job already.
I would
like to, yeah, I would love
to be a part of the show.
I guess they're hired.
You're happy. Welcome. Because here's the thing.
What's his reputation?
Oh, well, if he was
there right now, he'd probably be on his phone.
Oh!
We would have started the show.
Kind of like we're hosts of it a little bit.
And he, almost like he's a guest on the show, would be on his
phone not participating. But you
immediately, boom. If I were to give you tasting
notes of Aden, I would say emotionally,
mature
intelligent, young
obscene,
almost like a hard worker.
And then bad at Counterstrike, that's the base note.
That's the foundation of everything
that makes him, him.
How good are you at Counterstrike?
Bad also.
Okay, well, welcome to show.
I haven't played it, so I don't know.
That's about the same as him.
Well, on top potential, then.
You could be better than Aden.
Could be.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah, because
I just want to rewind.
Why are you here?
Well, because I met you at the store and then, so then I, I messaged you, I think, right?
And then, and then people had asked me to come on here before, but then the first time I'd heard about y'all was someone said that I took one of y'all's idea about parking meters, but that would me.
I hadn't, I didn't know that before.
I didn't know that before.
Have you made anywhere upwards of like a million dollars from that idea?
I haven't made any money off of the idea.
It was just something I did to save other people money.
Yeah, it was a selfless thing that lost money maybe.
Yeah, just like $5 maybe.
Yeah.
You probably approached it wrong.
Are you sure you stole the exact idea for me?
I don't know what your idea specifically was.
What I did was just pay a few people's meters that had run out so that they wouldn't get parking tickets.
Because L.A. parking is really expensive.
I'll catch up to speed on just that one, and we can go back.
He once said, I have a million dollar idea for you.
We can make parking free in L.A.
For a day.
For a day.
Imagine.
Like a Mr. Beast-esque.
I made parking free in L.A. for a whole day.
And I have porcelain teeth.
Right?
I didn't think that idea was good because I didn't understand how to make money.
Yeah.
So was your idea to make money off of it?
About a million dollars, yeah.
I thought they would generate so much hype
and potentially love in the hearts of citizens
across all of Los Angeles
in a time where we need it most,
and that that would somehow convert into money.
Like you would do a GoFundMe?
Dude, I made parking free.
Wait, I have a real million dollar idea.
Okay.
We just lie.
We make a GoFundMe, we lie.
Make it GoFund me, let's make parking free in L.A.
Yeah, if this hits a million dollars,
parking is free in L.A. forever.
Yeah, I mean.
GoFund me.
And then we just.
Why? Isn't it, aren't people still paying for parking, though?
No, no, no, no. They're still having to pay. He's defrauding everyone. We would act like we are the
the Los Angeles local government doing a go fund. Right, but let me explain this. Even if this
weren't a scam, everyone is still paying an amount of money to get parking forever.
Guy who rents his car. It's the same thing as owning it. It's not free. You're,
so I'm also right. Right. But I guess it's pooled by people who might not park.
I guess it is. Yeah, yeah. Someone in Hungary could do this.
They could contribute to the GoFundMe, get scammed.
I've got some scammed again.
People who just A, can also contribute.
This is open to everyone.
Let's just wrap it up.
It's a horrible idea, and tax agrees.
But this really is only happening
because we happen to meet in a grocery store.
Um, yeah, that, uh,
I think that sometimes in life you just don't,
yeah, sometimes really small things can lead to unexpected things.
So, yeah.
Dang.
And then you asked him specifically later on in life,
in life
in your human experience
to come on this podcast.
Yes.
Why?
Well, people had
said you should go on there
a couple times, messaged me,
and then I just like going on podcasts
and so randomly the other day
it just popped into my head
and I messaged and I was like,
I don't know if that's,
this is a weird question,
but can I go on your podcast?
No, it made my whole day better.
I have a question
that maybe helps your question.
Have you ever said no
to a podcast?
Yes.
Uh, yes, because I used to hate going on them.
Oh.
But then this year I've been trying to.
So this year you've changed into being someone who really likes going on them.
Yeah.
What happened?
I just have been pushing myself outside of my, like out, I've just been pushing outside of that more.
The comfort zone.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, you should go on, it's called fresh and fit.
I think you would be.
I think his perspective would be.
Um, is that the, I think that, is that the one that's like very, um, maybe like, bro type?
Mm-hmm.
That's exactly the one.
It would be the bros, and then it's usually some, um, porn stars.
Okay.
And then they converse about how they have disagreements.
Okay, okay.
But usually there's like nine porn stars.
Yes, and two bros.
And two bros.
I guess you could be the third bro.
So it's like, or, you know, you're,
can maybe see what the other side is like from their perspective.
And Dax Flame, excellent male porn star name.
No, that was not intentional, but that is, I mean, that works.
Is that a God-Given name?
Oh, no, no, that's a stage name.
Oh, okay.
A stage name you created when you were 10?
15.
15?
Yeah.
Dang, that's crazy.
The stage name I came up with when I was 15.
I would have been like Poop Slayer.
Mine was Pussy Slayer.
Yeah.
That was the name I made.
There's two wolves inside of a home.
I abandoned mine because it was
crass
yeah
you're setting yourself up
as like not a underdog
yeah
yeah maybe an over
like people would like not like you
yeah
that did end up happening still
regardless of the name which is a shame
you said when we walked in the room
you said I have one thought
and you said should I save it for the show
that was about the parking meters
I was like should I wait?
Yeah I wanted to ask you about that
but I didn't know if you wanted me to wait
Can I ask you, what do you think of Ludwig in terms of, like, your interface with it, like, not meeting him in a grocery store and stuff, but like, what was your general idea of this guy from the internet?
Okay, I had heard about you before, and then, but I didn't know exactly how just maybe streaming.
Then, more recently, I've gotten into watching people open Pokemon cards, so I've watched you open Pokemon cards.
I really love to watch that.
Whoa.
and then I'd played
I started playing chess last year
so then your robot is on chess.com
Oh yeah, yeah
so I'd play your...
You have a chess bot?
I have a chess bot, yeah.
Is it dog shit?
No, no, he's 1200.
Do people just mug the chess pot?
He's 1200.
That would have been before playing
or watching Pokemon though.
I started to play chess early last year
then I started to watch people open Pokemon cards
and then I met you at the grocery store
and so...
That's so crazy.
Yeah, I was playing your chess bot.
and then I ran into it at the grocery store
and I thought I should go on your podcast.
Yeah, that is an L.A. story picture.
You, Mr. Beast,
ex-QC.
Yeah.
Oh.
And maybe a couple other streamers.
I think I'm 1,200.
Did you beat me?
I think so.
I'm not 1,200 when I play against real people,
but it's easier to beat the bots.
Yeah, I'm a little predictable.
I'm a lot with the infinite time as well.
Eric Repridges.
Dang.
Yeah, I think we talked about it before on the pod,
but the grocery store,
I saw you and is, I mean, probably I think it's the first time I've gone up to somebody
who I saw in public who I recognized and I said, hey, I just, I like what you do and then, and that
was all. And then I, and then I vanished. That was my whole plan. And then I probably said like,
thank you. Yeah. Then you said thank you. And I had red hair because I died it red because of a rockathon we
did. So then I went and looked up your most
recent YouTube video to see if you had red hair
in it and you did. So that's when I messaged you. I see.
Yeah. If he didn't have it in the video,
what would you have done? Just thought it was someone who
I thought looked like him.
Oh my God. I mean, that's fair. It's fair.
Yeah, yeah. So many
stars had to align. I mean, I said it looks like
Ludwig. Oh, guess it wasn't. I guess it wasn't him.
And you were wearing the same hockey jersey
in the video. So that's how I knew. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. When I wear some, it's like, it gets
two days out of me. Are you
are you often recognized?
These days more so, yeah.
These days more so.
Oh, yeah, especially if I go to the mall or something.
A lot of like high school or college age people will recognize me.
What's the most common thing from?
Is it from TikTok and Instagram, I think.
Wow.
When was the shift for you of like Project X 21 Jump Street to TikTok?
Like at what point did people recognize you from TikTok instead?
The past year and a half.
Wow.
That makes sense.
Yeah, it does make sense.
Because you're TikTok's in Reels rule.
Thank you.
Mr. Flame, can I ask you a question?
Yes.
When, so was 21 jumps at your first?
No, it was probably Project X was like your first like movie, right?
Yes.
I did.
I get clowned on this show.
I'm 35 and I never really watched a lot of YouTube in the sort of the formative years of
YouTube and all this the past like 15 years or something.
So I get clown because I don't know who like David Getta is.
Okay.
You know, I don't know who all these people are.
They told me that David.
David Ghetto was a Roblox YouTuber.
I believed them.
We convinced him of that, yeah.
It was crazy.
So actually, I've listened to maybe 30 minutes of this podcast, and it was the one from
last week, so I heard that.
You heard that?
Yeah.
That was real.
We don't not play it up.
In those 30 minutes quickly, did you form a favorite?
Well, I could only hear the voices, so I don't know who was here.
Yeah.
But I know that you seem nice, because now I know.
Change your opinion?
No.
Life is beautiful
Awesome
So what kind of things
Do you all like
Prefer to talk about
Most on here
And like
Oh whatever
Oh science, math
We talk about science and math
And all kinds of sciences
Chemicals
Amazing ideas
Amazing ideas
Yeah million dollars worth
And then I don't
When I said I've only
Listen to 30 minutes
I didn't mean
I don't really listen to any podcast
So I don't mean that
In like a
Yeah
Oh please
But no offense taken
None at all
Anyone who listens to this show
should be probably put in a jail for 10 years, minimum sentence,
and then maximum sentence forever.
Yep.
But I guess it's probably a common question you get,
but how did you, they'd like,
they just scoop you up and put you in movies?
Or did you scoop yourself up and put you in movies?
Yeah, there was an open casting call for Project X,
so then I just got to submit a tape from Texas,
and then I got to act in it two weeks after high school.
So they flew me out.
to audition. Two weeks after high school?
Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Because
in 20 Jump Street is like one of my favorite movies
and you're really good in it. Thank you.
I was like, that's the guy from 21
Jump Street. And you guys are like, yeah, he's
more than, he's done more than
that. And I'm like, stop judging me.
Stop telling me what truth is.
Yeah. And would you guys act in any
movies or like to have you all acted in movies?
Well. Oh, well, we just got it
a little, our first role.
Very, you know, I won't call it
flex. Because it's potentially, well, we're acting.
alongside Eric Rayhill, who's going to be in the new office.
They're extras.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, we got adding context.
They're extras.
What are you talking about?
In what?
We don't even know what it's called.
We had a friend shooting like a short and he was like, hey, come be angry guys in a bar.
We're like, yes.
Cool.
So, yeah.
Well, we're not angry.
We're preventing people from fighting.
We're holding people back.
We're spreading love in a bar, yeah.
But I think this is probably the beginning, you know, you're an actor.
This is probably the beginning.
of a long career of many roles.
Well, is that how it works?
It feels hard to get a movie role.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It doesn't feel like you do one.
Maybe I hadn't done anything.
So do you think that you, do you want them to have a successful movie career?
Do I want them to be successful?
That's a great question.
You change it to be so much for broad.
And why did you not, why were you not in it as well?
I wasn't asked.
I wasn't asked.
I've yet to, I've,
I've got nothing.
I've never been in a movie.
No one's ever wanted me.
I think they think I'm one note.
And do I want them to be successful?
I don't want one of them to be successful.
Wait, a specific one or just one of us in general?
Just one of you two, yeah.
You don't care which one?
No, I do.
I would love to hear which one.
Yeah.
You would not.
What?
You don't want him to be successful?
Come on.
I want Nick to have a budding movie career.
Why him and not me?
Do you cry in command?
No.
Damn.
Why him and not me?
I just think, I think you'd be, I think you'd be more insufferable.
What are you talking about?
How would I be insufferable?
Have you were,
he'd be insufferable.
I'm imagining at heroin every other day instead of every other day.
I'm imagining if you were, oh, actually, maybe you're right.
I was imagining which one of you, if you were Brad Pitt famous, would be more insufferable.
Dude, I would live the exact same way.
I live all the, and I'd be like Bert Reynolds and I'd steal water in my truck.
What would y'all's dream roles be?
Oh, great question.
Mad men, again.
They just, they wipe madmen clean.
Yeah.
I want to be, I want to be cast as Jack Harlow in a biopic about Jack Harlow.
Oh, that's a great answer.
So he's a rapper.
Yeah.
Okay, I shouldn't assume you didn't know that.
Do I like him a lot?
I'm inspired by him.
I don't know if I like him a lot.
But I think he's the dopeest white boy doing it.
And I think that's controversial.
but I think I could live
I think I could live up
to that role.
Have you tried to get in contact with him?
Jack, if you're watching.
Please, dude.
He'd probably play himself.
He's a good actor.
Like Billy Mitchell?
Oh, fucking stupid.
You might be older than him, actually.
I might be older than him, actually.
I think you are.
You're 100% older.
Because he has one song, he likes,
call me 24, but I'm still a baby.
Can you look up Jack Harlow age?
That would be tough.
No, he's probably like 26.
I want to make you older than him.
I would want to be Bellamy in the season three of the live action One Piece.
What's your dream role?
27.
27.
Damn,
dude, he sucks.
Drewski's 30?
Damn, I'm older than...
Yeah, what is your dream role?
Told you cat.
Maybe it would be cool to be like a superhero type, but I don't think that that's what I would get cast as.
However, you never know.
So, I don't know.
What kind of superhero?
Do you have a preference?
Iron Man
Spider-Man
You wouldn't be Spider-Man
I think that would work
The Dobs flame Spider-Man
That would be money
I feel like
People would come out
And they'd be like
Man that's the best Peter Park
We ever seen
Thank you
Yeah
How are you
When people are like
Do people ever poke you
And they're like
Oh Superman meme
Like do you get tired of that
It doesn't happen that often
Just a couple times
recently when I'm like
On stage
And I
Well a couple times
I've been trying to practice
coming back for roasts so I've asked the audience to roast me and then a couple people shouted
like Superman a couple of those times it's not even a roast it's like part of your magna mokas
yeah yeah well it's not really a roast there's and it's really specific to just a maybe two people
in the crowd know that so I I just kind of wait until someone else shouted something you um
you've been doing a lot of stand-up comedy okay you're also branching into podcast what what are your goals right
It's not a movie related it feels like
I'm just trying to figure that out
Yeah okay
It's normal
It you don't have to have it all figured out
Guys like me and Dax
In our 30s
You have a podcast that you're on
Like this is pissant shit to me
But do you make a lot of money
He asked it like he knows the answer
Well I do ask you
I don't know how it's split up
Is the only thing so I don't know
Assuming that I make nothing
I've done something horrible
The loan is 98%.
And the rest of us, there's a big dog bowl
and we have to use our mouths.
To eat the $1.00 bills.
We made it equal ownership.
So then he's not,
why would he leave the podcast,
the guy who I'm sitting in for?
He's asking such amazing question.
Yeah, he gets right to the fucking part every time.
He was like, where's the other guy?
Doesn't even remember his name because why would you?
And I'm like, he's in Sweden.
The first thing he said, why?
Yeah.
Just like that.
Well, you said he's moving,
trying to move to Sweden.
I was curious about that
because I think it would be a cool place to visit
but I don't know why you would randomly
move there. I agree with you.
He likes the...
He likes the culture.
He doesn't like PewDie Pie, I don't think.
I think he likes the culture.
I think he likes the ethnic makeup
and he likes the weather.
He's really interested in the homogeneity
of...
Homogeneity.
He talks about it all the time.
Every other episode, you're lucky you missed it
when you did your listen
because he can't stop talking
about how it's what he called it a white paradise yeah yeah yeah all the time yeah so with a dash
chalayan are you all roasting him like that he's a racist or is he actually yes yeah dax
the lines are blurry no it's hard he's really he's seen through us well i i don't want him to feel
concerned that he's sitting in for a racist guy and this whole time he's like oh god have i got on the
wrong podcast yeah that's fair no he just really loves sweden it's not super um it's not
super obvious why it's not
reasonable yeah
it's a yearning I think do you have like
an obsession with something
or does it pass through like
Pokemon cards maybe I don't know if you're obsessed with Pokemon
cards but like no
I just like to watch the I like to watch
the deep pocket monster TikTok or
you know oh yeah is that the guy who does the
should I open it yeah or should
I keep it sealed yeah
yeah the Max Mofo fell off
Max Mofo just stopped making Pokemon opening
videos yeah was kind of the goat for a while
He was consistent, but then, like, he only uploads around November, December because the ad revenue is higher.
That's beast.
What, what, that's awesome?
What were you the most obsessed with ever?
I guess just making video.
I like to make video.
Yeah.
Yeah, it makes sense.
Yeah, it does feel like you have a boundless drive for that, because you're so consistent, and it must be hard creatively and also vulnerability-wise, no?
Uh, well, yeah, sometimes you have to figure out new things to do.
So in the last year, I've been doing stand-up videos,
things that, like, try to brighten people's day, such as the parking meter.
It would brighten the lives of many, I think.
He was trying to brighten people's day.
You were trying to make a million dollars.
That's the difference.
Well, you would have to do it.
If you wanted to make a million dollars, you would have to do it, like, if you said Mr. Beath.
Yeah.
So you'd have to make it a really viral video that you put an ad on.
Yeah, I almost felt like that work would do.
the work for itself it would go viral off of the virality of love kindness mine got a lot of
views doing that did it oh i did it on ticot less than a minute long so i didn't make any money on
oh see that's the problem that's the problem are you are is ticot you get a good amount of views on
ticot yeah yeah does that not make a lot of money uh well not all of my videos are over a minute
long so yeah last month i made like two hundred dollars but i typically average like
Well, for the past year and a half, like $4,000 a month.
So that's been great, but I have been doing shorter videos.
But how does your typical...
What's his name again who sits here?
Aiden.
Aiden.
What is he typically like?
Oh.
Should I try to provide more to that?
How about this?
I would love that.
How about we paint a picture of Aiden and then for the next couple of minutes,
Dax will try to beat Aiden?
Well, let's be honest, though.
think we were maybe
characterizing Hayden.
Okay,
well,
we could be more,
we could be a more
emotionally mature,
you're saying?
Yeah,
yeah,
he wants,
he has a tail.
Yeah,
sorry,
no,
he doesn't have a tail.
It's a nubby one.
It's not like a,
like a fox tail.
It's like a nubby weird tail.
He wants it an episode
of this podcast by himself,
and he brought himself
to tears just by his own words
speaking about his friends.
It was pathetic.
It was touching.
He,
Aden's the most normal of the lot.
See,
Ludwig,
Ludwig, Ludwig is a bit of an emotional husk.
I have unhealthy obsession with,
with, uh,
with, uh,
work. And slime fused the entire world's value
through the lens of comedy and almost nothing else.
Aiden is the most normal of the four of us,
where if one of us was in an Uber and had to talk to the driver
and appear to not be strange,
it would, we throw Aiden in. Because Aiden can, he,
he is excited to meet everybody and he, uh,
has the most friends.
Which is why he has excellent stories.
And so he has many stories.
He's very well traveled.
He hates living in the United States.
He wants to live anywhere else.
Okay.
However, he is addicted to his phone and probably also porn, which is, I'm guessing there.
But he's on the phone so damn much.
There must be porn playing on the phone.
There must be porn somewhere involved in that equation.
Often when we start the podcast, he's very bad at doing two things at once.
So if he's on his phone and I say, hey, Aden, he just won't hear me.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
He's very locked in.
It's as if he has had fun.
phones on. So should I try to pretend it to be him for a while? I would like that. Yeah.
How long? Um, you know what? Let's go into it and just feels like naturally we should stop.
Okay. Uh, and we'll treat you like Aiden. Okay. Okay. Also voted for Trump five times in the last
election. Yeah. Okay. And action.
Seen. Or not seen. Sorry. And action. All right guys, welcome back to the yard.
Um, Aiden, how is Sweden? Awesome. I'm, but I'm super grateful to be back with my friends.
I mean, don't get nice. You're a little too. Yeah. What note was you?
Aiden, put the fucking phone away.
Do you see a bunch of white people
that you're excited to see, or?
Aidan, we're doing the podcast.
Dude, Aid, we're going to plan,
we're going to go to Sweden soon.
We're going to go to France as a group.
Aidan, I'm an Uber driver.
Wow, there's nothing locked in.
He's so locked into his phone.
Yeah, we should, we should behead him.
I went on atriarch stream recently.
scene
that's
seen wow
for a moment
I was there
yeah
I can't
it sounds like
we're fucking with you
that was scarily accurate
that was literally
I'm just Googling
what a recent
Reddit post
wait you said before you got on here
you did research on all of us
what did you find about me and
me and Nick
well just
smash brothers
that y'all are really good at Smash Brothers
So good
Oh yeah, potentially in the elite
Like one of the best
There's these things called the Five Gods
We're like basically right below that
Shut the fuck up
What are you talking about?
They're both ass
You do the same shit
You do the same shit
Where someone will come on you really

On Smash Brothers?
Yeah and Smash Brothers

We played against each other
And I beat him so badly
That he lost 500
It wasn't so badly.
It was a past fail.
It was win loss.
Wow.
It wasn't badly.
Did you let him win game three?
Huh?
Do you let him win game three?
Just be honest, bro.
I genuinely didn't.
He smiled a little bit when I asked.
You see that?
You see the smile creeping out of his body?
He can't live with it.
You cheated on a mogus and you let me win game three?
I didn't.
All right.
There we go.
Can I ask you something?
And this is a vulnerable ask.
You can say no.
Okay.
Yeah, you can ask me.
Can I look?
You an iPhone?
What?
Do you have an iPhone?
Yeah.
Can I look at your most used apps?
Yeah, sure.
I'm just curious over the past.
You want to see the screen time?
Yeah, screen time.
How do I go there?
Just go to the search bar and type screen time.
Yep.
It'll pop up.
Oh, my God.
I'm so curious.
I am also curious.
It was itching at me the moment you said I looked on Reddit.
Oh, I don't have that app.
That's fair.
How do you do it?
I just go on Safari to look at Reddit.
That's good.
Aiding goes on Safari.
use Twitter instead of having the app.
I don't have Twitter on my phone at all.
That's good. Okay. Okay. Let's hear it.
Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Okay. First off.
You're not on the phone too much.
How many hours?
Uh, four hours a day. Okay.
That's reasonable. That is reasonable. And it's, and it's, I think it's all work.
It's nine hours on Instagram, seven hours on TikTok.
Oh, you're like reels. Uh, you're watching reels.
Actually, not really. I watch TikTok.
talk more, but I do watch Reels some.
How the hell are you spending nine hours on Instagram?
Actually, I don't know.
I mean, this is normal.
The weirdest one is that you're on Gmail for two hours.
Yeah, I guess that is weird.
Guy who people are begging him to check his fucking email.
Why are you on Gmail?
I thought Gmail was kind of dead in a way, no?
What are you talking about?
Okay, something really fucked up.
Okay, so I was logged into my bank app recently,
and they took my account that has the most amount of money in it,
and they put an app.
under the money.
That's crazy.
It's insane.
So okay, paint this picture.
Okay, what are you talking about that?
So in your bank account you have like checking, savings, whatever.
The account that had the most money in the actual tab, under the money, there was a hyperlink to buy tickets to like a concert.
I don't remember the artist.
It was some like Vegas style like mega show.
Chin Lim.
And I was like unbelievable.
There's an ad in my bank in my checking.
It's not a big.
side banner. I might be able to just
pull it up. It's on bank.
Let's shoot the CEO on the head.
Dax flame, do you endorse that behavior?
I don't know anything about
CEO. He made more context.
I mean like Luigi Mangione type
stuff? Yeah, yeah. That's kind of what he's suggesting, yeah.
Actually, I did a
stand-up joke recently
about him.
Let me think. I'd love to hear it.
Wait, I think I can't remember if I lead into it. Oh, okay.
Should I tell you?
Yeah, please.
Did you guys hear about
Luigi Mangione?
I did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was like a liberal crowd.
Wait, actually don't do that.
Sorry.
Okay, sorry, I won't do anything.
Did you guys hear about Luigi Mangioni?
Mm-hmm.
It killed a CEO.
So that's the joke is like,
you already know.
You think I'm going to say something new.
We actually don't do that.
So the other one is
that's kind of related,
is the giving people the chair
used to be a really popular form of punishment
until they outlawed it in like the 40s
or 70s or something
but I think that a free chair seems like
more of a reward than a punishment.
Yeah, let's go.
Very Stephen Wright.
Well, actually, yeah, someone else came up
with that joke for me.
Oh, you got some writers.
Well, whenever I was backstage at the comedy show
they said, if I come up with a joke for you,
will you tell it?
So I said yes and then told it.
That happened to me.
this weekend I went to a big smash tournament and someone came up and said hey I got one for you
we have a friend whose tag is shake drizzle okay and he said I got one for you cake jiggle okay
and I said I'm gonna use that and I'm gonna credit you but I don't remember their name okay
so it's mine and that's how it works that's show business well it's mine now I I guess so
I guess so I guess so I guess so well I have a question okay so you did a lot of YouTube right
And then he's big on TikTok.
Is this correct?
He's big on TikTok and Instagram.
In the past year, I've gotten more popular
on TikTok and Instagram.
It's actually a beautiful spectrum.
So I know so much about what you used to make.
He knows everything about what you currently make.
And he doesn't know really anything at all.
I know that he was wonderful in 21 Drumstreet.
We are a decent history of Dax Flame.
If we were combining our brains,
we would have your career on lock.
So do you, so I'm like kind of a, I'm a curmudgeon.
and I feel like
YouTube videos are
like something that was really cool
and then TikTok feels like
a weird version of that
that I don't really
I guess I don't respect as much
for arbitrary reasons
I don't think that's a correct thing to think
but I feel it
and do you do you not care about that
you're like oh TikTok's just another form of
videos?
Yeah I don't care about that kind of thing
but I also don't
I think that anyone can have any opinion
so I'm not
you're not judging me yeah sure
but you never ran into like
when the things change
did you ever get frustrated or you're just like whatever
well I was not relevant
on YouTube by the time it changed
or whatever yeah
what's your opinion on the shift if you
think that there is one of YouTube
in general like my outlook on
it is like when you first started
making videos to now
those are two very different websites
true like the videos are different
the like thumbnails like the
presentation of video, the goal of the user.
Like to me now, YouTube is like an attempt at getting a job.
And before it was like an attempt to just express yourself.
Like, oh, I just have it.
I'm just going to put this thing on the internet.
Yeah.
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, it can still be that for anyone.
But yeah, maybe now it's more like if you go viral, then you would think like,
oh, am I going to be on Ellen or something like that?
And whereas back like after the yodeling kid and stuff like that.
Yeah.
But then back, and then if you would go viral, it would just be like a weird thing.
and then that's but yeah yeah I don't I'm not like this I'm not the most
articulate when it comes to like talking about the differences of that kind of thing
like some people are able to say like oh yeah whatever they can't even play the role
of the articulate I think I think even if you don't feel like you're articulate I think you have
like you have a outlook on it that almost no one else could possibly have your perspective well yeah
if you used it back then you could tell it felt different in terms of like it just felt like you
would like because you could send messages to people too yeah and then oh yeah you could uh
which you can do on instagram and stuff now but you used to be able to do it on youtube and then you can
also um like you could uh do the community page but it was like on your main page so it felt
just a little more like a message board mixed with video making and then you could do response
videos did you prefer that or this well ignoring your status
in the world in that moment like yeah different things have like different advantages so it's
probably more fun back then like in terms of just like more carefree but then it's also like
people can make a living on it now and stuff yeah yeah I think that's a balance take who's the
most famous person of your contacts um well actually Jack Harlow did um ask someone for my phone number
a few months ago and then texted me can you just in if you have
ever happens to you again with any rapper you just give him my number he's the only
rapper who's no no actually well okay actually yeah he's the only rapper who's messaged me
but then jing van message him he just doesn't want to say it no i don't know i don't know
king vaugh but jpeg mafia uh i was in his music video and then he followed me but i didn't
we didn't message at all wow so you and jack boys now no um uh he just was like we should
hang out at some point oh you would be better than me in the jack harlowe biopic yeah you'd be so
You know what, let the best actor win.
I'm okay, yeah.
Cast it, yeah. Audition.
We can go cast for cast.
So he's probably the number one
most famous person in my contacts,
but what about y'all?
I don't know if I have famous people
like contacts.
Actual famous people, I'll go through, I'll check.
Ludwig's mom.
She's fucking go.
She's a retired woman.
Yeah, most beautiful woman in the world.
On the planet. She's beautiful,
but she's a retired friendship.
Spanish teacher. Cool.
Because she's appeared on this podcast, which I gives her
some notoriety. But I don't think she's the most famous
person in your context. I would, I would
agree. If Floodwig isn't in your context? That's also true.
You think she's more famous? He's just a phone number
in my phone. I've never, I've never
commit, because I'm not really sure. You guys are being jerks
because he answered the question real, and you guys are just saying my mom.
What are you talking about? He answered the question real, and you just
said, my mom. Are you all just trying to be modest? Because the
answer is you, you stupid piece of shit. He's trying to
say something subvertive.
Famous to me, Freddy Wong.
That's for me.
Yeah, I think he is the most famous.
But I guess, I don't know, Asa.
Issa Butterfield?
Oh, he's in your phone?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
He's an actor.
Okay.
He was a child actor.
And then he was in sex ed on Netflix.
There's so many people.
Famous also for being on The Yard podcast.
Oh, cool.
He was on your one.
We went to the UK to shoot with him once.
I have squeaks in here.
Mine's Mr. Beast.
Oh, wow.
Awesome.
I don't have Mr. Beast number.
Are you all friends?
Yeah, it's a, it's an interesting relationship, I think, when you're friends with another creator.
Because I don't think I, I don't think I know his middle name.
You know Jimmy?
I don't think it's Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy.
I think Jimmy's.
Sir Jimmy Beast.
Knighted by the queen.
He got so, he was like, it's Mr. Jimmy Beast.
It's so cute with it.
And I think.
I think that makes it hard to be friends with creators.
I don't know.
I always, I like to put up a wall.
I think I have like...
You should send, if I write a text to him, will you send it?
I would send any text you want, yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, do you want to think of one?
Yeah.
What's your middle name?
You want to text to Mr. Lee's, what's your middle name?
You're going to spend your one?
Actually, wait, maybe if you just have one, I'll think of something else.
Okay.
Stay tuned until the end of the episode to find out, and then I'll come up with it.
Okay.
I'm going to hold this.
That's ancient.
YouTube tech work.
That's new tech.
That's Mr. Beast advice.
That's watch retention.
Yeah.
Right.
I thought maybe you had an ancient.
And then you put at the beginning, you say, oh my God, I can't wait to send Mr.
or I can't believe I just sent that text to Mr. Beast.
Yep.
And people are watching this all the way through.
Also, everyone put your foot on the fireplace.
Last take it off gets a car.
Oh, that's what we can do that too.
Can I use it as like a way to like self promo or like try to get him to like, hey, me and a bunch of people are going to post a
are going to post Dax Flames
most recent TikTok today
would you go in on this with us?
I'll do, I can send him anything.
Okay.
If you want me to call him a slur, I'll do it.
Oh, wow.
You said off camera, you wanted that to you want.
No, no, no.
I was thinking more like
if I was going to the like code red,
it would be you sending a penis
photo to it.
Okay. But my own penis?
Yeah.
But I would have.
actually make you do that because that would be awful for him as well. Yeah, because he could be a treat for him. Maybe he was always curious. Yeah. But you guys don't talk enough. Yeah. And that's the problem. That is the problem is that like I would know if you guys would like to see it. Can I also post a tweet from your Twitter? You want to post a tweet? Yeah, why not? Okay, awesome. What would you say? What would you do? What would you use that power for? I don't know. I'll think of some fun things. Okay. And can I do something with y'all's phones or Twitter? Yeah, sure.
Everything on my phone, yeah, of course.
Cool, when should I start?
Honestly, we can see who gets the most likes.
Do you want to run it right now?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, I'll give you, do you want my Twitter or Mr. Bees?
Or maybe in two minutes, so I could...
Okay, take two minutes.
We'll give you two.
And we'll have it full access.
Just stay tuned for the next couple minutes.
Stay tuned for the next 30 seconds.
Can I ask you, have you ever seen one piece?
I've never seen it, but I've seen, like, the characters,
and it's a popular trading cards as well.
It is.
So you're in a trading card?
Only watching people open them.
So you don't open Pokemon cars yourself?
Well, I have bought a few packs.
I think I've spent a total of like $40.
Oh, wow.
So what stops you from like going all like wailing out?
Like there's a dopamine response of watching people open them,
but you yourself don't, it sounds like you don't love opening.
Because it's really disappointing because it's like the ones you watch are like usually fun.
And then you spend money and then you open it and you're like, oh, that I just have a bunch of like empty like.
Polywags.
Yeah, and then it's just, I wasted my money.
Okay.
Yeah, you miss so often.
Yeah.
More than not.
That's why the videos of people hitting are popular.
Yeah, and why we pull such insane stuff, because maybe we will hit.
So you're not a gambler, you don't gamble.
Um, no.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Who's your, uh, who's your favorite, who's your favorite creators to watch?
Do you watch any deep pocket monster?
Okay.
A recent.
favorite. Do you have any long time favorites? Not really, but my friends, uh, Joel Haver. Yeah,
uh, the talentless writer, uh, Trent Linkarsky, those are some YouTubers I, that are my friends that I like.
Cool. Yeah. Dax Flame, what's your favorite movie ever? I don't have one. Ever? Yeah. Really? Are you a
movie buff, you think? Uh, no. You're not going to theaters often or? Not that often. Do you, what's a,
what's a, what's a movie that you really, really like? I'm trying to think of what I've seen. Oh, uh,
Well, in the past year, I watched Anora, that was really good.
Anora?
Yeah.
A Nora's fire.
It's a heavy one.
Yeah, it's a heavy one.
It's a heavy one. It's a good movie.
It's a good movie.
Dude, imagine it's like a Nora.
It's like Dax Flame.
I would give it a thumbs up.
I would recommend it.
It's good.
It is.
It's a great movie.
But I haven't seen Superman.
I like it.
I haven't either.
Should I do the tweet?
Yes.
Are you ready?
Oh, you have them?
This is mine.
How did you do that?
You did both of those things at once.
You thought of the movie and thought of the tweets.
I haven't thought of the tweets.
Oh, okay.
But I thought it was been about two minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
What type of subject matter are you comfortable with and how, like, it, what can you give me some guidelines?
Yeah, I would say, I would say, um, mostly concerned about, uh, something that could be too crass.
so I wouldn't post my penis on Twitter.
I guess it's not a free country.
That's for a Chad from anything for views to do.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, there's kids that follow me.
That's the only reason.
And then maybe something, like I wouldn't.
Nothing negative about other people in the world.
Not even that necessarily.
I wouldn't, I just wouldn't promote, like, Hitler.
I know, anything else man?
I mean, it's a pretty small list.
Oh, and it has to be a banger and you have to be able to put a fucking manscate that on it?
I'm just saying let's avoid Hitler.
Okay.
Let's avoid penis.
What if it's like, I don't like Hitler?
I guess we can avoid that too.
Oh, I guess we avoid saying things like that.
That would be fine.
That would be fine.
Okay, Hitler tweeted this.
See what happens?
Do you put up all these rules and regulations?
No, that's good.
That's helpful.
Thank you.
Well, I have no limitations.
Yeah, you can pretty much run whatever.
Wow, so a penis on yours is fine?
His?
No, if he posted...
Oh, if we had to give him the meat
and then he could post it on behalf of us.
He says, get a pick of your meat.
Yeah.
I can spoil her.
Sure.
I mean, fuck it.
And the caption is open for a fun surprise
if you're under the age of 18.
That you're okay with that.
Because you said anything's fine.
I don't think Dax Slam would do that to us.
But yeah, yeah.
So I have to trust that he wouldn't do that.
Well, that's why I'm going to give away
all my Pokemon cards to one lucky person today.
Uh-huh.
And then it's a penis?
No, no.
I just won't make you do like a big promise or something.
Oh, I see, I see.
A fake giveaway.
Yeah.
Because that would be fun too.
Oh, I'm excited.
Well, actually, I don't have any good ideas.
Honestly?
Yeah.
Okay.
Why don't you just say the first thing that comes to your mind?
Yeah, usually the first idea you have is the best idea.
If you want to work on top of it too.
An idea of yours is not very good, but I think it would be one of my best.
I see you click clacking away.
Dude, what are these pens?
They're like, they were like caught in a waffle iron for a little bit.
Oh yeah, they are.
They have, yeah, they have a tennis racket pattern, a crosshatched pattern.
Hey, fashion guy.
It's why three all it's fashion.
Fashion guys, that's cool.
He looks cool in it, but that's because he's hot.
Sorry, uh.
Would I look cool in those?
No, you look crazy.
No, you look cool.
You look crazy.
You see, you say, I'm wearing trash.
I'm wearing the trash now.
Yeah, but is that not subversive in cool fashion?
Yes, it is.
If you wore these.
So, wait, he has a buff for everything.
thing because he's hot?
Yes, everyone in the planet does, yeah.
So what about fashion for ugly people?
That's a business model.
Well, no.
Fashion for ugly people, the horrible slogan.
But then, yeah, I guess no one would want to buy it
because they're admitting something to themselves.
I think Diamond Supply Co has that covered.
That in Huff.
I know.
I didn't matter what brand you said, it's a knock on that.
Yeah, yeah.
Basically anything at a Zoomis.
Yeah, you've been beefing with Zumi's.
I got beef with Zumi's.
Sorry, man.
Are you, so you're sending, this is an essay or a tweet?
Uh, it's like a tweet, but y'all can, uh, like, approve it or not first.
Okay, okay.
And, because I don't know if this is like a bad thing or like a fine thing.
Um, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling anxiety.
You would feel anxiety.
It's just so long.
It's almost like excitement.
It's like, you know, before you.
You're afraid that it'll, it'll mess with your beep deal.
No.
Beep.
The preferred brand for beep.
No, I, what about like?
So I said, I'm going to quit the Yard podcast.
Sorry to tell you abruptly, but something happened in the past two days.
So I will share more soon.
Yeah, I'm cool with that.
In fact, in fact, yeah, I love it.
Okay.
I would change nothing about it.
Do you want me to do something different?
No, it's so fucking funny.
Oh my God.
Okay.
What if Yoxick tweets it out?
Dude, wow.
And then we lose how many patrons did we just lose?
We lost like $10.000.
Oh, no, this is good
Because then we, we need out the chat
I could say, please don't leave the Patreon
Because we have some better stuff
And then yours is like
You want to wait a few minutes or
Yeah
Dude, and then you tweet out
Damn, this today sucks
I just tweet out
Nothing goes right for me
But will this make
Will this make people sad or will they know it's a joke
I think some people might
pick up that it's a joke
we've talked about having you on
but we've also never really done
anything like this
it would depend it I mean if you
were to add fuel
reinforcing this through their tweets
people I think would start to believe
maybe you could say
like nothing goes my way
or something whatever
or like something like that
the thing is and you could say
like I did something bad
like that's the tweet
he has that aura right
you said
Hey, you said it. He can say anything.
He says, I fucked up.
Seconds ago, you're okay with...
Fine. Yes.
With the penis.
All right, you want me too? I fucked up.
Uh, okay.
What would you like?
Uh, well, whatever, uh, if you want them to believe it, it would be something like that.
There you go.
Yeah.
And then I'll, I'll edit it for syntax to make sure it's like my voice.
Okay.
And you said that you would say it like that.
Well, is this bad, though?
Will people feel upset?
Um, people will feel...
Some people may celebrate, like, a big.
haters? Well maybe then you can do like a giveaway so to make it. Yeah. We make parking
free and this is how we get our million because we don't lose our patrons because they
have it's a million in opportunity cost. Yep. Okay. I love how it keeps kind of funneling into
some sort of giveaway. Yeah, yeah. His mind is a bountiful place. Yeah, it's an Escher painting.
why you be even with Zumi's
you know the story
I've told it because I
You have?
Yeah because on my
I was 17
And then yours could just be like
Why does things happen like this
Wow
You can just rip it
How about you want to type it
He said
I fucked up
I betrayed everyone
And I'm sorry
But I will share more details soon
Is that what you would say
Yeah
I mean
You're gonna have the most anxious 45 minutes ever.
Oh my God, bro.
It's slightly more maybe melodramatic
because it's, I betray everyone.
I betray everyone.
It's so funny.
It's like, what would he say instead?
Like maybe more, I wouldn't change it personally.
No, no, it's perfect.
It's actually so, it's like,
it's so unlike what he would actually say
that I think people are gonna believe it
because it seems like he's out of character
because he's panicking.
Did you tweet yours?
So then I can text Mr. B.
beast, my friend slime betrayed me today.
Yes, you can.
Yes, we give him the phone and let him say that, yes.
But what's, and what's your middle name as well?
I got two big ones for you today.
All right, here you go.
But should I, should I text that or some...
Whatever you want.
It's all you.
If you want to self-promo, if you want to ask his middle name.
You didn't reply to his team water text.
Yeah, I didn't reply to his last three texts.
You didn't reply to Team Water?
Well, he called me after, that's why.
He texted me and then he, are you team watering this year?
Oh, I sent mine.
I just said, hey, bro, and then after he replies to that, say, I'll say, can I ask you something?
Okay, so you're playing.
It's a hook.
Yeah, then whenever he replies.
It's a hook.
Can I ask you something?
I've been betrayed today.
So now do you want to say yours?
Yeah, what do you want?
So here, I'll just give you.
Okay.
I don't know if this was what you expected.
He did reply.
Mr. Beasted?
Yes, he said no.
Oh, um, okay, I'll say it's actually important.
Okay, I'll, I'll type this for you.
Okay.
It's actually important.
And say, um, I'm nervous.
I'm nervous.
He's fucking all of our lines up.
I'll ask him what he's wearing.
He said, don't ask him that because I want him to...
He said, I'm on a call, but text me.
Uh, okay.
Okay.
Well, actually, you don't have to say okay.
I'm trying to think of what.
Oh, sure, sure.
Yeah.
Say, you've really set up here where he, he's like maybe a little, like, what the fuck?
He's on edge.
So do you want to call him instead?
No, no, no.
He said he's on a call.
So I have to text him.
You could say it's very important.
Can I call you?
And then I could stand over there and with mouth what you should say to him.
So you want.
Well, maybe not actually.
You want.
You want.
So despite him saying, I cannot call.
You want a lot of way to push through.
That would be too hard to.
pull off, I think. I think you're, I think
it's a bit, it would
probably be a wait situation. We're asking a lot of
Jimmy, beep, beast.
Because we don't know the middle name.
I'll just, I'll start typing.
Would you say that? This is
this is Nick's tweet.
Yeah. Or
this is fuck. This is fucked is very
ominous. That would scare people. This is
fucked is very good. Yeah, it's good. Or this is bad.
Dude, this is like, no, this is fucked is better.
We got Dax Flame on. He's burning
down the pocket. You said it.
It's sent.
Sitting the moniker.
I'm not going to look.
No, I have to.
Maybe you could say,
I'm trying to figure out
how to put this.
Okay, so, like,
these are very lead on.
Yeah,
and I'm trying to figure out what to say.
Oh, so you're just trying to figure out
what to say.
Right.
Because you need time over text.
Do you want me to say,
give me a second?
Yeah.
Give me a second.
He's probably on some fucking call.
What the fuck is going on?
Letting,
letting Dax Flame pilot the mech suit.
of the yard and he's just going around
smashing buildings
do you know
Luca Donchich? Yeah I do I do
cool um
you want to text him
I don't have his number um no but that's cool
I saw that clip of him saying
hey Ludwig
oh yeah the Luca clip
yeah there was an assault rifle
are you are your basketball fan
yes what's your team
the Lakers
oh okay me too yeah I just
I notice that when you know something
you will still ask as if you don't
you be like do you know Luca
what would you have done if he said no I don't
well actually okay I actually
I didn't know if he knew him
or if that was just a
one time promotional thing
I see yeah but I do also ask people
things I already know in case I'm wrong
but he also lied to you because he doesn't
he doesn't know him he knows of him he's seen him
around yeah that's how I was interpreting
the question I didn't think the question was like
are you boys of the Luca
I was like do you know Luca Donchich
like oh do you know
David Gettah. I know of him. Roblocked YouTuber. Yeah. That's the business. But I've never
I've never talked to him. We got the video and then our teams are in contact. Cool. Okay. Cool.
So I was able to ask the favor of him making the video. It's also so funny that in all of these
tweets that have just gone out, Aiden did not send one. That's true. It's because he's obviously
not here. Yeah. But maybe you should maybe you should send one. I don't have
something like I just joined a podcast. He's off X. Oh, you're off.
Well, I, my login is memorized on Safari on my laptop.
I don't know the, and it's the only way.
I might actually have this password on my phone.
It wasn't on the screen time.
This, this, this clears.
How did I betray you?
I don't know, but you always do this.
Yeah.
You always betray.
I always betray.
Yeah.
Did, uh, did the ice cream man documentary?
Did that provide like a meaningful shift in like your, your life?
Yeah, that helped me a lot.
Really?
Yeah.
Basically, I was just working at an ice cream shop and had no momentum online or anything.
And then, well, do you all need to check your Twitters or anything?
Like, do you need to delete those or anything?
No.
Okay, because then I got rock.
Yeah, let them ride.
Yeah.
So then I had a lot of, like, just momentum from that.
And then I started to make a game show from that.
And then, yeah.
Yeah.
You see, you see how scared Ludwig is right now?
His phone is in his lap, bro.
Oh, my God.
I have the Mr. Beast message.
Oh, right, right.
He has not replied to the, give me a second.
Maybe say, and he just silenced his notifications.
Oh, my God, that's, dude, that sucks.
Maybe say hello question mark.
Come on, gentlemen.
Maybe say hello question mark.
You heard the man.
I sent it, right?
I sent it.
This is a great.
the great, it is like,
no, it's like the bait messages that, like,
people send to their significant others on TikTok
as like, uh, can I ask you something?
It's actually important.
I'm nervous.
I'm trying to figure out of this.
Give me a second.
Hello?
But that's what I've sent.
Now I have to think of what it is.
Yeah, this, you've really set up for like a home fucking one.
I know what it is.
So, um,
well,
you don't have to send it yet,
but, well,
basically I filmed this video with him.
And,
well,
maybe you have to bleep.
this. Well, so I had this video, but they said maybe I can't post it. So then you can ask for
permission for me to be able to post it. But I filmed like this video where it's, this is actually
going to be very disappointing for everyone, especially since I'm saying to bleep it. So never
mind. I'll think it's something better. Wait, let's not bleep it. Do we have to believe? Is it
well, okay, so the video, okay, you could just share it and then hopefully when it comes out someday
if it does. But it's a video where I had him say, hello, everyone. I just bought Dax Flames account for
million dollars and so now i'm going to take over his account but they haven't given me permission
to post it so maybe i could use your power to oh but no actually don't say that
you don't think of something better yeah we can do that no i don't want to use it for personal
gain i want to destroy the world you want to just use no i want it to be like a fun thing that
everyone enjoys okay well i you know what then i'll work on that on the side oh okay okay
i can work on that on the side because i i want to see i want to see dach slams succeed i
I guess on that note, what is success to you?
Because you've been talking a bit about money
and like the financial aspect of doing content creation,
but I think there's also probably like an artistic pursuit.
What do you want?
Just to keep making videos and to avoid going back to an ice cream shop type situation.
You want to be able to make videos for the rest of your life?
I think so. Yeah.
I resonate with that.
The most miserable I've ever been was when I worked at a coffee shop.
Oh, yeah.
And when I finally got out of that job,
my vow to myself is like, no matter what I do,
I will never go back to a job like that.
Yeah.
That's been my goal always, just to avoid that.
Yeah.
Well, where's the line, right?
Like, what if you had to make videos that sucked?
Is that as bad as an ice cream shop?
Do you mean, like, make videos you don't want to make?
Yeah.
Yeah, like if the videos were only, is only canvios.
If I was pandering or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Then I wouldn't like that.
So it's not just making videos.
It's videos you like.
Yeah, that you like.
True, true, yeah.
If you make a video, a movie, whatever,
and you make $10 million from it,
are you going to keep making videos,
or do you retire and go to the Bahamas?
I would keep making videos,
but then, yeah,
I would just never have to think about money again.
Yeah.
Yeah, that would be tight.
If you could snap your fingers
and you could pick, like, exactly,
I'm assuming the answer is making videos,
but like, assuming the money
didn't matter and it would all be the same amount anyways like would you prefer to make
videos on youtube would you rather be in movies would you rather i like making them on tic talk and
instagram right now oh more than youtube right now yes yeah more than you want to make a movie
like do you have a well i have directed one movie um and that was fun but i don't really have a desire
to do that again again anytime soon it was no budget it was just it was called making youtube
it's about the creation of youtube and i played the bio it was a biopic about chat hurley
the guy who made YouTube
Was it a feature?
Yes
Oh my god
You directed a whole feature
Yeah
How long did it take
How long was the shoot?
Well we filmed it in one week
And it was very intense
Jesus Christ
And there was zero budget
But
And you directed and acted in it
Yeah
And wrote it
Oh my shit
How big was the crew
Maybe
5 or six people
That's intense
Wow
And I had to
Right at my
self. Yeah. Did you like writing? Yeah. Okay. What part of all that process did you like the
most? Acting, directing, writing. Directing is fun. Okay, okay. And acting. Well, writing is the bottom
one. Yeah. Do you write your, uh, do you write your, like, TikTok or real ideas out
before you're doing them? Are you just doing them? Sometimes I'm just walking around. I'm like,
oh, that's a funny thing. I'll make a joke about that. But then other times I'm like, oh,
today I want to go to the Griffith Observatory
and pretend to propose to this girl
to make strangers happy type thing
the parking meter one just was on the spot
that wasn't pre-planned
I have one I'm going to film today
and then that one is planned
and another one I just bought some props for
I'm going to do like a fake valet
and then I'm going to wash the person's car
when they drop it off to me
my favorite one is there's this
group of girls
like this girl pop group
Oh yeah, they're awesome.
It's 5y.
Have you seen this?
No.
He's doing this collab video with this group called 5i, and he orders pizza, and then he's going to surprise the pizza delivery guy with a show of this pop group.
And then the driver comes and doesn't want to be on camera.
So the video ends, and he's like, the driver didn't want to be on camera.
So see what happens?
Well, did you see the sequel?
I did see the sequel.
But I was, I was curious, like, most people, I think, when that happens, it's, it's a, it's not what was meant to happen.
Yeah, but I only had a limited amount of time with them, so I couldn't shoot again.
I see.
So you couldn't be like, let's wait for another pizza delivery?
No, but so that was when I was in Tokyo, and then that just happened to work out.
Then they came to L.A. to do a show.
So that's when I did the sequel, and we did get successfully, uh, do, they did a performance.
How do you smooth that over with them?
real time because that's what I was thinking of was like what's the room after where you're like
okay this is the plan the pizza guy comes we do the performance and the piece guy comes it doesn't
want to the performance you're like all right they were disappointed but I was like but they
were also they're just really positive and friendly and so then I was just like don't worry like
this will still be a positive video and stuff I think and then yeah no one minded I feel also telling
them it's a gamble I think both videos are probably bigger for it having gone this way yes true true
Which is the beauty of it.
It's not planned on your end, clearly, but...
Yeah.
And what do y'all like best out of TikTok podcasting, et cetera?
And what is y'all's dream goal?
Oh.
Like, oh, like that we do.
I like doing the podcast the most.
Cool.
But that's not your dream goal.
I don't know.
My dreams have shifted a lot.
I mean, if you asked me, I know you're just dying to know what's going on in that little fun of his.
I was seeing if Jimmy was replying.
No, but he looked at it like you had a treat.
I'm doing the Aden role
Yeah you see the phone
And he's just like what's that thing too
I want to look at it
I don't know my my goals have like changed a lot
You asked me like four or five years ago
I'd be like I want to make a feature
Do I want that now
I think I would be open to that now
But I don't think I'm aiming towards it anymore
Would you what would it be about
Well me and Slam are writing
Not a feature but we're writing a show
About U-Sports
Because that's what we know
and then we think it's a very funny world.
But that's, and that's like my,
I would say outside of the podcast,
my biggest, like, creative focus is doing that.
I'd love to make that real.
But I think I've learned that, like,
I grew up on the internet.
And for a long time,
I got really wrapped up in this idea
that, like, traditional media is more, like,
legitimate.
Like, if I were to make it to be a movie,
or make a movie,
that would be more of an accomplishment
than, like, something on the internet.
But I think that's not true anymore.
And I'm more interested in making stuff on the internet, I think.
So, like,
We did shoot a film, you know, it'd be cool to, like, go to festivals or have it in the theaters,
but I'd also want it on the internet, kind of first and foremost.
I'm still that guy.
Not that I think traditional media is more important or relevant.
I just like it more, I think, and I resonate with it more.
So the show we're working on.
We actually had a meet.
We were supposed to have a meeting for one of the episodes today in the writers,
me and two other guys, and Caleb Pitts is one of the writers, and he didn't show up for the meeting.
Oh, yes.
He just, no call, no-showed.
Is that?
He's a bald comedian in New York.
Cool.
He has a podcast.
Campion, right?
Yeah, yeah.
They're very close.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, I know Pierce.
Yeah, I've known him.
Well, I just met him randomly, like, maybe eight years ago or something.
I was with him a week ago, and he brought you up.
I was like, oh, my God, I'm about to meet him.
Cool.
Yeah, Pierce is cool.
Caleb's on the show, or he's writing on the show, and we have a meeting where we
call and we talk about the episode, and he just didn't show up at all.
So we do the meeting with the three of us, and then we're like, Caleb, are you okay?
and he just doesn't message us,
message him personally,
nothing, a day later.
He had diarrhea.
He had explosive diarrhea.
Not even kidding.
And he passed out at 6 p.m.
Yes.
And we thought he died.
We were like really scared.
I said, I'm meeting with no CP.
I don't show up.
I don't show up to that meeting.
That's right.
Meeting with no CP?
Yeah, because then what are we going to,
what will we even talk about?
We're talking about my favorite football team,
Crystal Palace?
No.
So yeah, it's kind of the same.
I'm actually, I'm living the dream
because we're working on something I really like.
Cool.
Yeah, that's kind of my answer to is I really love
doing the show, this show.
I don't like it with Aiden's here.
So this is the best time.
This is such, it's, if you want to just come back every week.
There's no idea how much more I like you.
We will tell Aiden that we're recording
and we'll do a whole hour and a half with him
and then we just won't post it.
We'll do a real one with you.
I actually make a request.
Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons?
No.
Well, well, Dax Flame
Dax Flame
We are actually premiered Dungeons and Dragons players
Okay
Recently launched a show
Yeah
And you know
We were talking about having a guest episode
For Dungeons and Dragons
The idea, have you watched it before?
Dungeons and Dragons
Yeah
No, but I know kind of it's like you do role playing
And come up with your character
And there's a dungeon master
Yep.
But I don't really know how you win or lose.
Oh, the, it's a, it's variable, you know.
And I think you find maybe cornerly that it's not about winning or losing.
It's about, you win if you have fun.
The journey.
It's ironically about the friends you make along the way.
Cool.
So would you ever be interested in maybe doing that?
Do you want to be our first guest?
Yeah, I would do that.
That would be fun.
Okay.
Yes.
No, I think you'd be, I think you'd be great at D&D.
Maybe.
Maybe, well, actually, this.
would be too much of a disappointment,
but I could say maybe the big Jimmy text comes then,
but that would probably be too long to wait to complete that.
I don't think he would like,
I don't think he'd remember.
I don't think he has a lot going on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think,
I think he might have deleted my number already.
What if you say, like,
I have a million dollar opportunity.
That's not a lot for him.
Oh, yeah, true.
Yeah, yeah.
You have to say I have,
you have to say maybe like,
I woke up in a big circle and I can't leave.
What do I do?
He's like, I've seen this one before.
Dude, I can help you.
What if you say,
hmm, I did something bad?
It feels like every text you're sending
is setting up for an eventual text that you don't have.
Yeah, you can't think of that's something bad.
Maybe you say hello one more time.
You want me to do a second hollow question mark
Or maybe just say, well, how did, what would you say in your voice?
Like, hey, man, what's up?
In your voice?
So, I'll read you back the script.
Okay.
Hey, bro, can I ask you something?
No.
It's actually important.
I'm nervous.
On a call, but text me.
I'm trying to figure out of put this.
Give me a second.
Hello?
And now you want to say, hey, bro?
Dude, this is fucking awesome.
Let's see.
Hey, bro, are you free now?
You really want to call?
No, he doesn't have to call.
Just say, because I don't want to text this.
Are you free now?
You can say, because I just want to send a text,
but I don't want it to be hanging too long after I send it.
So just let me know if you're free to answer my text.
Can you explain the minutia of that?
Can you explain how it?
He doesn't want the text to hang too long.
Like, I don't want the text to be something that can be permanently sort of captured.
No, I don't want to doubt even sending it in the first place.
I need you to reply quickly for that to not.
be the case. Are you free now? I have the text ready to go.
Oh my god. It's so fucking unbelievable. I'd be so mad. I'd be so mad. I'm sure he's mad.
No, because he's he has like a lot of things going on. So he's probably just like
doing a feastable's call. Yeah. What's funny what's funny to X is I because I had this
open because I thought he might reply because he had been replying. He switched from replying
quickly to it says Jimmy has notification silenced yes he went to D&D in the in the duration
that's what you could say you could say could you turn off the could you turn off D&D
wait you could type in all caps hello you can try to yell past it well I don't want him to seem
like he's like I want him to seem like it's going to be like a good thing there's a button that
says notify anyway oh my god I just clicked it I didn't realize it it does it yeah what
Did you send it? It was the text from previous and it says, are you free now? I have the text ready to go. And what happens is it blasts through this Do Not Disturb and on the screen on the iPhone, it goes, and it takes up the screen.
Dude, you're never. This is Christmas to me. You're never being invited to do anything again. Yeah, no, this is probably it for me. Would you go to the Beast Games premiere? Would I go to the Beast Games? I watch all of Beast games season one. It depends where the premiere.
is maybe you could say I like maybe the important thing could be like that you have a beast
games idea he's giddy he's excited literally giddy maybe it could be because it's supposed to
be vulnerable so that wouldn't be good I almost think there's two routes here one is we we ask for
the tax claim footage well I have the footage sorry you want permission yeah I could ask
someone, but they'll probably just say
we'll ask someone and then they won't
hear back. Well, that's why I'm saying. He has the power to
ask the ban. I can do this right now and I think
that's a successful end to this. No, we don't
I think it should be something that
I don't want it to feel selfish. I see.
It's so selfless because we're doing it for you.
Well, I don't want it to feel like
if you're a viewer and like, oh wow,
he just is just trying to get
he's just trying to promote himself
to Mr. Beast. I can promise you
it's very low on the list of what any viewers
currently think. Oh my God, he's calling me.
well you don't maybe say
I can I can't talk right now
what should he say
well maybe say
okay say that you had a cool
idea for peace games
but you're too shy
to tell what it is
go ahead Ludwig and action
yeah what up dude
sorry man you did you finish your call
hit me yeah
all right cool
I just had an idea for beast games
okay
we just finished filming season 2
FY hit me
oh it's done
What the fuck do I do now, that's?
See, my ideas always go poorly.
I should have known.
Hello?
It's my bad.
It was, my ideas are bad anyway.
All right, that was, that was it.
When's the premiere?
You're breaking up.
When's the premiere?
I can't, are you live, like, doing a bit?
No, I'm not live.
I hung up!
I hung up!
He was not having your bullshit.
He sounded...
He sounded not happy.
He sounded pissy.
Oh, my God.
That's okay.
Well, you could say, hey, sorry, I just got nervous.
Yeah, you could...
This is like Christmas to me.
I have no idea.
Just say, yeah, sorry, I got...
I got nervous, so...
I...
I often have ideas.
but then they don't go how I wanted, so I got nervous.
Or say maybe, well, actually, maybe I don't want to ruin your friendship.
So now I'll let you take the, unless you want me to do more.
He said, I'm calling the police. Are you okay?
Well, maybe say, yeah, I got nervous.
Let's talk. Let's catch up soon.
Yeah, I got nervous. Let's catch up soon.
That's a good conclusion.
And then people will be like...
He's going to call the cops.
You sounded like...
You sounded like someone was holding you hostage
and they said you have to steal Mr. Beast's money.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
That's what he thinks.
Dude, that'd be awesome.
And then you could put at the beginning of the episode like,
oh my God, I can't believe I just did that.
He said they're on the way.
They're on the way.
Yeah, like the police.
Okay.
Well, it's fine.
Yingling can greet the police.
Yeah. Well, they don't know how to get in.
So.
Yeah.
What do I say to that?
Ha, ha, ha.
My God.
I mean, in the span of less than 90 minutes, you've...
You've disrupted our lives.
You've disrupted our lives a measure.
You've burned this place down.
It's really fun to be able to send tweets from other people's accounts or text people,
especially, like, texting Mr. Beast from someone else's phone is really fun.
Yeah, you'll get that opportunity very often
They don't come up I guess in the normal day to day
I have a question what
Who do you think is really funny
Um
Those friends I mentioned earlier
Yeah
And then I've been trying to watch more stand-up comedy recently
Who you're liking
Um
Mitch Headberg and Shane Gillis
And um
Sebastian Manascalco
And I'll just put on a most popular stand-up
On Spotify playlist
Oh really? Okay
Whenever I'm driving
Okay, I have a wreck for you
This one I think molded me
Okay
It's a very
It's kind of niche
But it's Comedy Central presents
Pablo Francisco
A 30 minute special from like
2001
Okay
I think it still holds up today
And I think it built my sense of humor
And I would
You're watching a lot of stand-up baby
Pablo Francisco
Okay I'll definitely watch him
Wow I don't have a stand-up wreck
Watch one piece
Okay. Is that a show where you need to
like watch some episodes before it starts to get really good?
Or is it one where you can just jump right in and it's fun to watch?
I think it's fun from the beginning.
Some people think it takes roughly 500 episodes.
I do like watching anime, but I haven't watched anything for a while.
I like the Miyazaki movies.
Oh, the Ghibli ones?
Yeah.
What's your favorite?
Spirited Away is awesome.
That is awesome.
Did you cry?
I don't think so.
When's the last time you cried?
I cry a normal amount.
I don't remember the last time exactly,
but probably within the month,
like at a touching thing on TikTok.
Oh, TikTok.
Yeah, sometimes you just see some really sweet stuff.
Have you cried on TikTok?
Yeah, I've absolutely cried on TikTok.
You see like AI dogs?
No, not AI dogs.
I'm more like...
I saw the bunnies on the trampoline
and I burst in its ears because it's so beautiful.
Baby Spider-Man saved baby Batman from parallel.
Um, I, yeah, what, what makes you cry on-tick?
For me, it was, I cried at like multiple things.
I cried the animal ones.
Yeah.
Sometimes they do, like, animal rescue.
Oh.
It's like the dodo, and it's like, we rescued an animal and they're, like, washing oil out of its, out of its feathers.
Uh, I think I cried at a military come home compilation.
Really?
Yeah.
You are just the fucking primary consumer, man.
Yeah.
They're just like, they're really good.
They are really good.
I mean, it is.
Thank you.
True blue.
It's a classic.
It's a classic.
You know what got me?
It was actually on Twitter.
It was just from, I think, from TikTok.
But I sent it to Ludwig because it's this guy, this young guy living in Japan.
He's like this white guy.
And that's just important because it's like usually,
Ludu's like usually these guys are cringe.
But he like goes up to this old man on a bench and he starts talking to him.
And then the old man invites him into his house.
And then they go and have, he has dinner with him and his old wife.
And it's very, very sweet.
just his wife
well she wasn't young
and I was like
and I sent it to a lot of
I was like this damn near
made me tear up
because it's very sweet
yeah
and he's like usually
this guy's legit
usually these are crudged
but this is the beauty
of humanity
man we're
if we asked you to be
in our show
would you do it
what
if we asked you to be in our
our TV show
would do it
yes
you would do it
yeah definitely
all right
you're at your cast
would you react in it
I don't
I don't know
they've never asked
to me actually
would you
we're gonna get him
Would you do acting?
Like, do you think that you could do acting?
You said you're one note.
Yeah.
Also, you said One Piece was a good show to watch,
and it made me think I told them I've been watching,
I've watched the first two seasons of Game of Thrones recently.
And then that popped on my head.
How are you feeling about Game of Thrones right now?
It's really good.
It is, isn't it?
And then I know to be disappointed for the last season.
But anyways, sorry.
No.
Do you think you could do good acting, even if it is the one note thing you said?
Yeah.
No, I crush my note.
Cool.
I think I play a, uh,
just like a big asshole.
Okay, pretty well.
You could be a Game of Thrones type character.
Like you have like a face like a Prince Charming type thing.
Really?
Yeah, I think so.
If you had like long hair.
Yeah.
We hate to give them that because we've been giving him that for years, but it's true.
I think honestly, unironically, I think that if you ever wanted to do like Broadway stage acting,
I think that's your niche.
That's my niche.
Sorry, it's not a niche, but like that's your, I think you are a very performative actor.
But that's really hard to get into for this guy, I'm telling you, he's mine.
I think that one's way harder.
I just think it's your acting style.
I think you're very, like you have like a stage acting style.
That's the biggest insult you could give someone.
No, plays are awesome.
Why?
That's the biggest insult I could give somebody.
You're saying you act for stage.
It's a different thing.
Yeah, but like it basically means like you act like a cartoon character.
Like, you're Ronald McDonald.
I think, no, it's like you act in a way that is not lost on people in a room.
You're just rephrasing what I'm saying.
You're making it meaner.
What if we give them the same scene to do and see who does it better?
Yeah, we could do that.
Oh, I would love.
Yeah, give me a scene.
Well, what's my scene?
So you have to just do a monologue about how people usually don't like your ideas.
but um and you thought you had a really good one but then you blew it and then you could just reply
like just as like however you would reply he's the person that i'm trying to tell the idea to
and then i'll just watch it and see who does better yeah can you direct actually well it's kind
of just out yeah well you can give me adjustments after if i well the this is a contest so i'm not
going to help you know no fair enough it's an audition who do you want to go first uh who wants to go
I'll go first.
Okay.
I'm so, where are we?
What's giving me the world I'm in?
Is it here?
That's your dad, and he...
Yeah, that makes sense to the age.
And y'all are in, like, at a pool party.
Okay.
This is my dad, we're at a pool party.
A lot of people, wow, okay.
You took him aside.
Can you actually just play, like, miscellaneous, like, crowds murmuring?
You took him aside into a quiet behind a tree.
Okay, and then when I finally take him aside,
I want you to lower the volume.
on the video as if I'm taking him aside.
Okay, do I get to do this monologue or am I being judged on my dad acting?
No, because you don't seem to have any care about whether you're a good actor or not.
Oh, I do, I wanted to be better than him.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you can do it too.
Put it all into being dad.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll do...
Sure, sure, sure.
And it'll, you jump in.
We go over here, ready?
What if you texted Jimmy now?
I want...
Miscellaneous crowd murmuring audio sound effects,
and then when I pull him aside in the script,
I want you to lower the volume
as if we're leaving that room.
Did you just hear what he said?
What?
No.
He goes,
what if you text Jimmy now?
What are you up to?
Okay.
Right.
I was getting,
yeah,
I get back in character.
Okay.
That'd be crazy.
Just play the sounds
whenever you're ready, man.
And yeah,
because you got an idea for a cool,
like a cool invention or something.
A cool invention?
But you don't have to say
what the invention was,
but just like a,
I don't even know if I'll get it out, because I'm...
Just a good business idea that didn't work out.
All right, just give me action.
Oh, action.
Hey, dad.
Hey, what's up, kiddo?
Are you drinking again?
Oh, no, this is just...
You told mom you wouldn't drink anymore.
Dude, you put it in the pool.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ms. Johnson.
She's cheating on her husband.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
We just walk over here.
Okay, yeah.
Um, I just have this idea
Um, I want to run
Sorry, that was really, smelled really bad
I have an idea I wanted to run by you.
Yeah, sure.
For, for an invention?
An invention?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, no.
No what, you know, actually, never mind.
I don't, I don't want to tell you the idea.
It's stupid.
Well, I mean, you pulled me aside.
I was having fun.
We can just go back to the party.
Actually, it's a business idea, not an invention.
It's actually a business idea.
I just remember not.
Business idea.
Well, I mean, now I'm listening because.
Okay, okay, okay
I always told you to make some money
Get out there, do some stuff
You're 23
I just, okay, okay
It's a business idea
Well, you know how you have that
At one time I found that flashlight
In your room
And I thought I needed to see in the dark
And it wasn't a flashlight
Opened it up and it was something else
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
What did
I just want to know
What if they made those with AI
But they were also
They were made of boy pussy
Instead of actually a different
Different thing
Oh okay
Oh
Or actually you don't have to tell him what if it was what if I don't have to tell him. Yeah. Okay
So before I tell you the idea, can I is this so am my hands stuck like this forever? Is this? This is really what I'm afraid of is I have a business idea
Can I say one more note? Yeah, yeah. Don't do anything funny. Oh, okay
And so you can put your hands normal. Yeah, put them on my side probably if that's funny. What's up kiddo? Your hands like really normal and actually I think that's a good enough
I think that was actually really good acting. Wow, really. Yeah, actually. Yeah, okay. I felt I was there. And I'll be the judge now, but then commenters can be the final judge. Right. But then so do you want to do one? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, yeah. So I think that, um, like, you know, you threw that into the pool and like, you don't, don't do anything like that this time just so I can really focus on if it's, yeah, yeah. And then is it okay if I look, lean like this. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. Honestly, if you want to go over there, you're welcome it if it's easier. This is okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Action.
Are you ready?
I'm ready, yeah.
Okay, action.
And one question, did you want the murmuring to?
No, I don't even all that.
Okay.
I'll just start.
Y'all are already over in the choir room, yeah.
Okay.
Action.
Hey, daddy.
Hey, kiddo.
Also, one note.
You're 17, so you're not going to say daddy.
He still would probably.
Oh, okay.
But I can say, dad.
You're right that it's weird, though.
Whatever you would say then.
Okay.
Action.
Hey, dad.
Oh, hey, kiddo.
um pool party's fun yeah having fun miss johnson's over there yeah that's cool um
i kind of wanted to share something okay it's it's an idea i've been working on but it's mostly
like in my head right now but i haven't been able to tell anyone okay i mean would you like to
tell me i'd love to hear it if i tell you can can it maybe be like a
I guess like a conversation like it doesn't have to be like a like it's not a good idea
so it doesn't have to be like a judgment I guess okay awesome so I think that was really good
too yeah wow that I think that maybe y'all have different strengths but y'all are actually
both really good I think maybe um maybe y'all would have different specialties you
seem like you
were a little more
naturalistic right away
but then yours felt
really vulnerable and
like
emotional so
like maybe he's really been there
before and he's channeling some real
maybe I was thinking about like
sharing stuff that I didn't want to share
oh you can do that if I
okay did you have more that's just what I was
in that head space oh okay yeah to be able to
tap in so I think he'll can both do good job
Check this out.
Your turn?
I would love to take a shot.
Yes.
So now everyone comment who is the best between them, and now we'll see if this will be the best one.
But the only thing is who's going to play the dad this time?
I could play the dad.
You can play dad, yeah.
So you guys leave a comment now and then leave another comment.
So you're going to leave your first comment and then leave your second comment after this performance.
The comment between us and this is the comment if he's better.
Okay.
Two separate.
And do you want to be a good actor also?
Yeah.
Okay, so do you want the murmuring?
No, the murmuring, I can, it's in my head.
Okay, action.
Hey, dad.
What up, kiddo?
Can I talk you for a second?
I got some stuff on my mind.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, go ahead.
Everything I do isn't enough.
Every idea I have,
every thought, every desire
doesn't come together.
What?
And I try to talk about it
with people like you and mom
and my teachers and nothing
makes sense.
And I'm scared.
I'm scared that nothing ever will.
It's okay, kiddo.
I was like that when I was younger.
I don't polish out with the year.
years.
That's really good.
Actually, that was super good.
You maybe had the most visual distress.
However, dialogue started to go a little too monology, but that's what I originally said.
Like, it sounded almost like, like, too much like a movie at that point instead of naturalistic.
Okay.
And so, but that is because you're improvising it.
But I thought you actually maybe had the most.
distressed of the three so actually all super good actors wow thank you and that's
from a that's I was in some movies yeah do you want to maybe give it a shot
well well we all tried we all tried we could be the dad
we do three gay dads so okay so maybe this could be more like shark tank
dad tank okay it's an amazing idea and it's three gay fathers yeah so we are three
Hey, Dads, and you are coming in to pitch your business idea.
Okay.
Yeah.
You think it might not be a good idea, but you do know what the idea is.
Yeah, okay.
So, um, hey guys.
Hey, what would I say?
What a party!
Oh, great.
Fresh bait coming back into our show again.
Can someone say action?
Action.
Is it okay if I talk to you all about something?
Yeah.
I mean, you're on the show.
It's cool with me.
I don't mind.
Oh, so this is a show?
No, no, it's still.
I thought it was gay dad tank.
It's not like a, it's, it's, it's.
We're not actually on a show called Dad Tank.
It's still, I really liked that idea.
Well, it's a good idea, but it's the same scene.
But that's not like an acting situation.
So we're just his dads.
Yes.
We're three gay dads.
And we're going to try out the step on them too much.
From the top.
And are you all in a room?
Yeah, we're all in a room together.
We were hanging out talking about just gay father stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it smells like dog surgery.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
None of us know.
We couldn't explain it to you.
All right.
Were you ready for this?
All right.
Action.
And then is it at a pool party or y'all just hanging out?
Pool party.
We're in the other room.
Pool party, but we're in a quieter room.
Just, and then, okay.
Yeah.
Action on you.
Is it okay if I come in here for a second?
Yeah, come on in, kido.
All right.
I just had something that I wanted to talk to you all about.
Okay.
Well, what is it?
It's more anything.
Well, it's...
Kind of makes me nervous to talk about
because sometimes I have ideas
that don't go how I plan, so.
Jimmy, you can tell us anything.
Jimbo, we believe in you, we support you through and through.
I don't know if I can tell you all this one.
Look, we're your three gay dads, and we love you.
I think I'm too nervous.
What can we do to help you get it out?
Well, I just always feel like I've got
these ideas that I want to make, but then I blow it.
Well, you're a young guy, you know, handsome.
You got all the time in the world to figure out a good idea.
Okay.
Those three have blown a lot.
And this is like a business idea, and I just don't know if I feel comfortable talking about it.
Do you need investment from us, or do you just want some feedback?
Yeah, I wanted to pitch it to you guys, but I'm too nervous.
Um
Scene
I mean
I was lost in that
Yeah
I was lost in that
It was it went so long
Because I think we were so in it
Well it's he has this really strict rubric
Of he's not allowed to tell us the idea
Yes
I kept forgetting that
And we kept asking him what it was
Yeah we really wanted to hear the idea
And that was a genuine
That was me not even acting anymore
I was just like well tell us
Yeah just get it out get it out
But you can't
It's going to be wrapped up in a short film
maybe called The Hesident Child
or...
No, it's just called hesitance.
Hesitance.
Reluctance.
Yeah.
Reluctant business.
Man, we are a couple of old, salty Hollywood dogs,
aren't we?
And the thumbs up comes and says
this is the end of the episode.
I got one final question for you
and this is more of a moral dilemma.
Okay.
And I just, if you can weigh in.
It's a hypothetical.
You're on a plane.
Dude.
I don't know this.
And the person next.
you takes their shoes off
we can start there
it doesn't smell at all does that make you feel
some type of way um
no okay normal thing to do
are the socks off
socks are on they just have their shoes off
that person
then takes their shoes they say
oh sorry can I get out
they go
take the overhead bin put their shoes
in it close overhead bin go
back to sit down.
Yeah, that's, I've never seen someone do that.
Would that make you, like, would you, would you think of that as a curious thing?
Yeah, that's pretty funny, actually.
Yeah, that's pretty funny.
Would you think it was, like, weird or off-putting, but, or just more like, in, quirky
and fun?
Did you do it?
Well, it's not done.
Okay.
Because now, an hour into the flight, they say, oh, sorry, can I get out to go to the
bathroom?
They squeeze by you.
They're walking to the bathroom.
You see as they're walking, because they walk in.
They didn't get their shoes?
They did not get their shoes.
Oh, that's weird.
See as they're walking, they're on their tiptoes, they have holes in their socks.
And they go to the bathroom just with their socks and they come out.
Is that, now it's even maybe weirder?
Yeah.
Okay.
He did all.
Okay.
He did all of this?
Did your feet...
Yeah, I would just be nervous walking into the bathroom with socks.
I look very closely and there is nothing on the ground.
It's on the tiptoe, so you can really get around the spots in the bathroom.
Why did you put...
Oh, so that they weren't clogging your foot space?
Yes.
Oh, yes!
Yes!
Yes, so they weren't clogging my footspace under the seat
So I can put my feet under the seat
Talked about that a lot
I talked about it this weekend and I got crucified
Oh, but never on the podcast?
No, I told them that commenters might roast you
They might if they got to the end of this episode
It might be an opportunity for another comment
If you're still here, you could leave a third
Leave as many comments as you like
But let it be known
I don't think it's that weird
Well maybe the one thing that you didn't do
That feel free to do whatever it's your podcast
But if you want a thing at the beginning
you could just be like, I can't believe I sent that text to Mr. Beast.
Yeah.
And then you could have that.
Yeah. Could you just do a take of that to be having to put it to the beginning?
Yeah, I got, I got, I got, yeah.
Yeah.
Acting.
Okay.
I'll send it right now.
I can lead you in.
Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure, please.
Ludwig!
Dude, I can't believe I sent that text to Mr. Beast.
I went too far that time telling you what to text.
And then a theme song.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
All right, hey, everybody.
Hey, Dax, thank you so much for coming on.
Thanks, that was really fun.
