This is episode Of the procrastinator's podcast smash one smash one in the comments that one I mean, you know if you could spare a man. It would really help me out Like if you could find it in yourself to give this old this old partner a few ones I mean, I would like I know we're all you know the economy is down and inflation is up, but But it's worth it To walk down your local vans gotta have a bushel or a barrel full of ones But you know what you get to buy your fucking loaf of bread and your apple But Patreon percentages and numbers right now do we need to talk about that right now as well?

All right All down to the ones the ones are the DNA if you look down like a microscope down at your DNA Then you realize it's actually not a bunch of dots as is represented in Jurassic Park It's actually a bunch of ones, you know, they say that the world they say that everything in the world can be represented by Ones and zeros, but no ones will do just fine. Oh, thank you very much. I stared slightly Long-gated ones will be I wanted to be with the one that the one could not stare back at me Like I stared at it drove me to madness. They call me the weird one hermit now That's weird one hermit What weird old hermit your belief Like make one yeah, so this is the kids. All right. It is right. This is childhood kids boyhood took eleven years to make specifically boyhood not childhood if you're up if you can only respond if you're a boy All right boyhood took eleven years to make 11 years way better There you go red line is is that all right? So here we go everyone childhood being a child being small and weak and cowardly What do you know? What do you say Ben? What do you say? It's wrong and it's a sin Are there any redeeming qualities the children know any no Well, they're just humans, but we're Jesus Christ. I'm not coming in much. He is the child Out the establishment I'm here to shake the ground like a fucking earthquake. I'm coming in hashtag kid power I want to see all these tweets tweeting the procrastination with some sort of funny image or relatable quote from a teenager Aren't you with hashtag kid power? Don't you grow a fucking brain already? Why don't you just fucking get your neurons all set up and get set in your ways like the rest of us When I was growing up, I mean get in this later, but when I was growing up I was always trying to become like a cool ass adult and be mature and like pay taxes and shit And I realize that's stupid, but not for the usual like oh, I don't have you know You don't have any responsibilities as a kid. Oh, I have to wake up. Oh, no But because adults are fucking lame and they're always pissy baby fucker fappers who shit their fucking diapers And it's lame and nihilistic as hell the optimism of the youth is the only valid outlook in the entire world Yeah, that's a strong argument. It's like basically the kids next door. You know, right? This is like I mean, I know as many night like isn't the stereotype that nihilistic Teenagers are the thing and then when you grow up I don't care what the world is outside of my vision. Teenagers are known adult sympathizers Being boring and cynical comes from the fact that most adults i.e. most people are failures It's the failure that makes them uninteresting Childhood is before you've had an opportunity to fail or succeed most people fail so therefore But you can only fail or succeed well, that's why I don't you're right But that's why I don't like children because like while adults have risen or have failed or succeeded life Children haven't even put their cards on the table yet. They're in the waiting room waiting to even give life a try kids generally is that I See him as like Like a like not quite cooked chicken like And you're like, okay, I could do that could do with a few more years. I'm not going to talk to him He's just being a kid. I don't mind He's just doing his kid thing and he's not very interesting But I'll let him I'll let him just sit in the oven for a little longer before I go up and like try to treat him as a human being All Hitler did all Hitler tried to do was put that childish race in the oven for a little longer But it just he just he can't catch no breaks for that That's sort of like oh just a kid like I'll let him run around and smear shut in the walls That's the reason why kids are bad is because adults won't just treat kids like adults Which you just much enough enough of this bullshit children are literally worthless They they rely on adults for everything everything a child I Feel both the way that Munchie and DeVue feel here because on the one hand I feel like I take DeVue's stance because I believe what Munchie says that like you should be really hands-on with a kid because like Need to educate children in order to make them like understand their you know like Understand the world around them like don't let them just run around to be a dumbass kid Try to make them not a kid anymore like Eventually beat the kid out of them and make them a functional human So like but when you see a kid who's not he's not really your business and like when I see like some dumb bratty kid out and about You know I think of that boondocks moment where the granddad just beats that kid in the grocery store for the lady Everyone treats him like a hero and obviously I I wouldn't have probably used the same technique But I do feel that sense when I see like a dumbass kid where I'm like man Someone should do something about that, but I know that if I tried to it would just get me in trouble So I'm just gonna be like you know what this kid's just not worth worrying about They're like fucking dogs They're like fucking dogs and since that everyone wants a dog and then when you have a dog You're not trained up be able to know what to do with exactly you want to be like Oh, I don't want to have to spray it with a bottle of water. It's so fucking cruel You only you only should buy me you know you should have to teach it you have to be a parent You have to teach them what the world is like you have to be before you get a dog Sorry, but before you get a dog or you get a child you should have to sign a contract saying you're willing to put it down You should have to like play a game of like ski ball or like sign like a couple waivers backwards Be able to like legally owned side waivers back It's dark. It's well It's not that way like you have to be simultaneously a breathalyzer test and like a literacy test at the same time Also, it's ski ball Listen when I was a child I didn't do anything good and the only things I did that were good. It's on you and your parents Okay, all right much you are that this is this is a celebration of munchies last gasp of childhood because very soon He will have he will be he will be taking that thing they do in kids next door where they brain blast you so you're not a child anymore That's what happens. You forget all the secrets and joy of you By the way Right Johnny Quasar his lesser-known cousin Remember Do you remember in that one episode though? Here's my counter argument where Santa was proved to just be a super genius Just like Jimmy Neutron and also got brain blasts. Do you remember that? Next evolution of humanity is like That's gonna be my upcoming podcast is fleek or is it gay and Give is anime now incredible incredible You're gonna see your like transformation from from like men to beasts over the course of Chewbacca It's like turning to caveman, dude You guys should definitely do a Gundam Chewbacca so that I can learn anything about Gundam That would be really helpful for me. I don't watch mecha shows. I don't care But they're why but I'm but they're why I don't I don't I don't like no That is inconsequential and ignorant. It has nothing to do with the genre of mecha There's a huge movement going on on any Twitter right now if mecha fans being like it's always been about the characters It's not about the robots people are stupid. Nobody understands mecha. It's a big deal Could you please forgive me because the genre is named mecha the room It's like in the room when Lisa's mom says like marriage has nothing to do with love But like put a Naruto headband on her and she said mecha has nothing to do with robots Here's the thing about genre labels right like let's say that with metal music You might like one like there might be one really great metal band who everyone appreciates But then there's like a thousand shitty metal bands and some people will just because they are Categorically a metal fan listen to all of it mecha is the same way There are great mecha anime like gundam that are not really about gundam about Story is about human characters exactly Speaking about Childhood now because that's the thing and mecha. I had robot toys Which toys did we have Feeling that too that's interesting like toys are not really nobody gives a fuck cuz you had I mean speaking of mechas I mean yeah, Ben and I did have all the megazords that we got for all the years that we cared and I had a ton of transformers Transformers You guys I also was Power Rangers and then Beast Wars I had was like a Digimon toy that like evolved quote-unquote Which Digimon? In Lithuania, they only had go-bots Now it was like I think it's called Hawkman and it evolved into the armor digivolution of it Oh, I think I think that is like a weird like you Flipped up is like skull and then you turned it upside down and it became like a metal skull You put a thing on it and then like you expand its wings and into the wings you put in legs It also opened up and he had like a little mini world inside of it with little mini Digimon, and that was really cool Speaking of Digimon and childhood is Digimon like still good like some people have told me that like it got good again or something I don't Nate here's what you have to do you have to Google search a Digimon look at the monster designs Do you like Digimon is good? Oh, well, I think I couldn't tell if he I think he was asking is the new show good and the question that Look at any screenshot of it. You'll be like, I'm not watching that. That's how I felt This is a one moment. It looks really bad. It's like Not that one. Well, that was that was an actual like child Digimon show. This is like a different thing. Okay, you know, whatever Let me let me tell you an anecdote. Let me tell you an anecdote. Okay, my childhood. I remember One time I don't remember why this happened but I got sent to the school guidance counselor because I was I don't know in distress about something and Who cares? Remember going to the guidance and what and she like sat me down I was talking to me and I remember in hindsight that I ended up just sitting down and talking to my guidance counselor for a long time About how hard it was for me to decide whether I liked Pokemon or Digimon better I Remember I did a School like like like write whatever kind of essay that you want They're not as if you just like it like a short story and like sixth grade or whatever And I wrote mine in the style of homestuck and I had to explain to my teacher Munchies like in a homestuck was munchies childhood. I feel you know what? It makes sense though, doesn't it think about it and look at me I wonder where is there is one there's definitely one thing about being a child That that is a huge advantage over being an adult is that adults will never get it children. Yeah, they get it Very much so that like occasionally a new thing will come up and people are saying like a word And I'm like well now I guess I'm an adult because I don't get it like when when munchies said fleek before I had a fucking crisis It's retarded. I don't like The funny thing about that Ben is that fleek is an old-ass slag too It's like already I I said the context of a podcast being called is it fleek or is it gay? I don't actually use the term fleek to describe That was what made it so funny to me is that it's like an already dead slag But it's funny that Ben had never even heard of I mean my girlfriend is five years younger than me But okay, but I don't get it cuz I'm an adult and adults when my girlfriend is five years younger than me And she's your first to hitting the whip, and I have no fucking idea What does this mean a car is a whip, so she probably means go to the car doesn't mean It's like a dance move or something that I don't understand Comprehend This is a bunch of like white dudes try to talk about what is probably an urban dance culture All right guys, let's let's get down to brass tacks here I want to hear retarded stories of how you fucked up as children. That's what I want to hear about I've never done it before the only the only time I've ever fucked up is Never When you when you didn't carry the monsters podcast I have a better question for everybody. I want to know when you were kids. Did you want to grow up? No I have a big story about that. I have a big story about that. I was just saying I don't know maybe I want to hear my cheese big story, but me and they you go first and I was gonna say yes I was just going to say yes No, like I reached that at a certain point because of the deep frustration like you know a teenagers just want to be able to Drive they want to be able to you know do Millennial child's are post-carnal child's are post-carnal. I Want cards I wanted to be an adult because I want to be able to like do stuff and seize control of the of the destiny of my life That's that's what that's the opposite the reason I wanted to be a kid is that I wanted to Relinquish control and not have to think about anything. I just wanted to not be responsible I like well that's the advantage of childhood for sure I I do so I can run my life and win at life for me though A lot of my relationship with like being they see myself as like not wanting to grow up was that I really hated this idea that like Everyone supposedly was going to grow up like that that people would always tell me Oh, you're not gonna care about toys when you're like an adult or you're not you're gonna be you're all you're gonna care about Is girls once you're an adult and like all those Like you can't tell me but literally all of them happen Like I eventually I remember like when the day when I could not bring myself to care about toys anymore And it was just like well, they won't care about toys, but then I look up for my computer and I see more anime figurines I don't even I'm already over anime figurines. I don't even like them. I keep them somewhere else in the house Like whenever fucking people told me oh, you know when you're this age you're gonna be like this I'm just like I mean like maybe you don't you're not gonna fucking decide You know, I will decide what I would like. I will make those decisions. Thank you very much They know me Similarly, I had similar sort of Experiences when I was younger I had people tell me like oh when you grow up like you're gonna grow out of those Pokemon You're gonna you're gonna like get a job and not draw anymore. You're gonna like, you know Start caring about things other things and I'm like no and Liking Pokemon It's always a pretty equal split of things that you have grown out of and also things you've retained interest, right? Like a lot of the shit that like I wasn't really told that I would grab a lot of things other than the fact that I would probably mellow out which You know Considerably so like it's just that munchie has mellowed out from like Christ consciousness levels way above like human Comprehension to something we can see No, no munchie might don't be say it's like munchies like a prism that that light Through and then and but you you've refined yourself to be a more focused beam Yes Name I I've been trying to think of my childhood and it's it's strange that I can't really remember what people were talking about Like to me like you know, I don't remember things that I was told as a kid necessarily I just remember like General feelings of of stuff that I it was good. It was good when stuff happened and I want I want to have that again but then You know, I I guess I just have a bad memory I'm not coming up with it. I'm coming up with like brands like oh, boy on a cool and Beyblade and fucking Yeah, okay bugs. I define myself exclusively with brands. Yeah I just want to slam back my toilet, but I can't remember what like I was like as a kid And whether I wanted to grow up or not. I distinctly remember as a teenager looking around at people like getting driving licenses and cars and being still teenagers, you know at school But like acting adults and they they they had suits I mean, they had school uniforms, but they but they would like, you know, like I'm cool because I wear this suit thing It's kind of like a suit and I was like I Being there is a person saying yes, I don't know what that means and they I Distinctly remember feeling an aversion to being an adult in the way that they were doing it Like I I believed you could be an adult and still be a kid because it's more fun that way I remember like just to be into stupid shit that because even if even if it doesn't mean you're popular It's still cool because you like it. Yeah, that's all I can really remember about like childhood yearnings of adulthood Like a lot of cartoons at the time for a female specifically were all about you know fashion and makeup and stuff and I had like a Very sort of distinctive version to them because I never got into makeup and fashion I still haven't and I just it's always bothered me like I Sort of tolerated the ones that had something else to do like As ashamed as I admitted I did like winks because it had magic not just like fashion and stuff Like winks was lit yo One of the reasons I didn't want to grow up as well I didn't like the pressure of having to dress nice and put on makeup and think about all those things Yeah, I just I just got damn patriarch. He's trying to keep you down. Fuck that. Fuck that But before I get into I should get into my my big old story about how it became the boy that you see before the big Baby boy himself, right? I would like to say to mage Is it true that being a woman is awful none this is like it's bad But it's like you have to do so much shit just like on the right. I Yeah Maybe taking the Ben approach of just shirking all societal expectations, you know Yeah, if you just live an alternative lifestyle and become a weird hermit no one expects anything of you You don't have to do anything and nothing matters draw I want to see fan art of Ben living his alternative lifestyle just in whatever way you imagine that For what that means it could be literally anything you have a question though guys like How are you different from your child? self I Was as a okay. I was pretty similar as a child I was a little more of a spaz and I cared about things more and that wasn't and I'm embarrassed of that What you care about things very very I cared about like, you know, what was going on around me and that was a mistake You've turned into a fucking adult dude. You turn into a dull and you're no you're no longer hashtag relatable to me Things happen around me and I'm gonna turn around. Oh, oh, look at that. Oh, what's going on? Fuck? Who cares? Now the bombs drop around Ben everywhere. He doesn't even dane to look When Donald goes drunk Ben's not gonna realize he's gonna be living in a trade a Trump-styled society not realizing It's gone full drunk on him being all right. Straight white system. I won't even notice the difference. No When the bombs fucking drop his pristine pasty white condition will make him immune to all radiation Yeah question of a difference between childhood and desire to grow up for me. I can answer both with one line I am 100% goal-focused since my my conception Remember, I hate you. Please continue I've never heard that that's exact sentence before Yeah, I don't but what do you mean? so like Many of my earliest memories is me thinking what will be like my like all I would do as a kid is just think of Like overarching Lifetime plans for something, right? I imagine if I had like grown up in like an engineer family We're like like it had like an inventor dad and mom I probably would have gotten into engineering like if I like like had an actual social life, you know And I'd like been the fucking child of like some sort of internet content creator or some shit I would have just gotten onto YouTube way earlier, right? So I didn't really care about growing up or not growing up I just wanted to have a purpose and so the difference between Myself then and now is that I do have a purpose and plenty of I okay before that I was just totally aimless not knowing what to do with myself I also had no purpose or goal in life as a kid That's pretty much what I was gonna say too for mine. I mean, I'm way more disciplined now I mean, I guess in college I had a vague idea that I was gonna like go to grad school and like become a physicist So I guess I had a goal at some point like personality wise. Were you Similar or you know different from how you are now. I Think I was I think right now the me that exists now is more like like my self as a child Then like the me that existed as like a teenager and like my early 20s because like Completely dependent on others around you know, you're what you're very much like yourself as a teenager in certain specific ways You're very I mean you've always been very like Hmm, you're an absolutist is what you are and you've always always have I mean, I am now that's for sure All right. Well fair enough I mean, you expressed it in different ways before yeah biggest difference between me as a kid and now is that Really the biggest difference for me. I don't think I was very different from childhood through adulthood It's more like after becoming a brony celebrity I changed because I became able to like talk to people and be social and like I think that I act very differently now from how I did in like You know 2012 but 2012 me was almost exactly the same person as In 2012 saying man I was never knowing how to talk to people until the last couple of years So I'm just expecting another update to this in three years saying oh, yeah I wasn't able to talk to people until like 2017 Well, I would say that my perception of how like what I meant by a sentence like that changes changed a lot Like when I said able to talk to people then I probably meant at all Whereas you know now I mean like I can socially go out and like start conversations with strangers You know becoming a becoming a mildly a very mildly successful internet art person achieve achieving a little bit of success in that Arena has straight to Ben's head. He's a broken man. It has. Yeah. Well, basically it has changed me in ways that are probably net negatives because I have found because no because I have found ways to survive and and to buy without interacting with anyone And I have leaned into that and I think I need to choose I think I need to choose am I Because and find a Or am I just gonna am I gonna get my life on track and find a balance? Or am I just gonna lean into it and completely become a hermit a hermit? Nothing then as we all know Wait much. I already was gonna do my thing right after him Yeah, well, I just think it's funny that Ben would accuse himself of like not interacting With people because the way that you do your career involves like extensive social networking Twitter doesn't count Twitter about discord. You're in like a like set you run like several of them That's all baby shit. It's literal baby. It's a pair to talk to people in person. We all know that internet friends aren't real Of course, yeah, yeah Growing up this is this is also again. I'm post toys. I'm also post friends Because growing up like I basically only had internet friends. So there's no real distinction to me There's there's no like difference really between me going down the street and like talking to someone online like like emotional wise Like I don't feel any differently. I feel the same as The meat and the wire bro, I have to bet I have to back up. I do interact with pause What no age you sit around to ask the crashed. What? Oh, oh, yeah No technical difficulties mage fucked up But it's okay. We came back. Okay, Ben was saying something feel free to pick it up Was I yeah, all right? If you can't remember who cares? The thing we were on currently was How do you feel different between being a child and being an adult and I haven't Hasn't gone yet. Okay. Well, if you guys just want to grab it, I mean, yeah, I I wanted to have to say that um The difference between me as a child and me now is mostly like my sense of humor is basically exactly the same And all of the things I like are like, you know, I still love all the things I liked as a kid Yeah, okay, I love YouTube poop pooping while watching YouTube, you know, they're very very good But like the differences are like I've become more confident, which is obviously good and like being able to get over depression is Is another thing that I've just Through like the amount of times it's happened. I just like he's died in Dark Souls. It's really hard and gives But like as as in terms of like not having like a focus as a kid Like I I never knew what I wanted to do I always had multiple passions and multiple skills that were good and people would praise me at multiple skills And I was like which one my right. Yes. No, no, no, it's this is a good thing But it's like it causes a problem because when you're when you have when you are good as a kid at multiple things And you're praised equally. You don't know what you should do and Yeah, I had like no focus and I would never actually got like very good at any one thing Hippo was like ebony darkness dementia Raven Way. He was But the thing the thing the thing I've learned the thing that changes changed like a few years ago is that I just realized You don't fucking need a focus. You don't need to know what you're doing You just need to do stuff and then you'll die and then people will Sit together You just have to start doing stuff right and then die Yeah, you just know just kill yourself. No, that's what you start. I didn't mean it like that Which I think what you're saying is that like you don't even if you don't know what your end goal is You can't like wait until you know what it is. Yeah, it's like the best thing is Yeah, it's like if you don't know what you're doing like I didn't know what I was doing and I was agonizing over what I should get into what I should What I should forge ahead with I just realized that it's just a big waste of time and anxiety Just to even think about it. It's like people that are like, I'm gonna start writing my book I'm gonna start drawing my comic or whatever, but I'm gonna I'm gonna like flesh out the world I'm gonna spend like yeah Writing notes fleshing out the world and it has to be complete before I actually start even worse Well, I was gonna say my webcomic site APS adventures dot site Is like exactly this whole like it doesn't matter how good it is. I'm just happy that I'm making it and it's cool That's what that's what Beast Capades was I just started it with no with no real plan. That's great Plan Could you please explain to me the origin of punk? I've always but is it just like your avatar was the hot was the pumpkin and then in fucking Inktober 2016 I think I Was just like I'll just draw cuz I wanted to get I always want to get better at drawing You know the inktober is an excuse I drew like one thing on the first day and then the second day I drew a pumpkin girl and I was like dude fucking sick. I really like I'm really happy by the way that um, I invented the the pun gorge juice because she's Yeah, she's gorgeous Anyway Yeah, that was the origin. I just drew it and then you don't need to start off with a grand plan for your whole life And that's actually one of the good things about adulthood if you can get yourself functional Is that you either have to get a job or you're allowed to be a need which is depressing in itself? So let that be the motivation for your first initial goal make yourself at least relatively independent You know by funding your life through some form of art any form of art I would not have gotten onto YouTube by the way if I could have made just as much money doing anything else Within the same time frame, but I got onto YouTube because it was it was the it was the thing I liked the most that I felt most plausible in being able to make money from I Feel like there's something there. I feel like there's something there to that because I too I Felt like my approach to like YouTube content specifically answering the question by the way we we you certainly will get one Made just let me I just want to respond to this point directly It was just like there's something there of like when you're a child It's like you live in sort of a fantasy world of possibilities And like for me that was like making big like best anime ever is and like nothing else And just taking as long as you took to get those done But adulthood is more of like you you selectively Cut off avenues that are not practical and like you you intentionally limit yourself and the way are you give yourself a More pragmatic way to survive, which is what I've done with like me a math and we Agu and stuff It's just an excuse to make content as kind of a as kind of an acceptance that like okay. It's true Like I can't actually survive just making crazy big old projects every six months. It won't work Same reaction I assume people who just heard about Pearl Harbor being bombed had so you're saying that we Agu is going To be like your only content now like that's gonna happen. Absolutely. Absolutely not Means to an end. It is a it is a support structure a scaffolding upon which I can build my more complicated by complex projects Do not fear people do not fear ghost in the shell. Eventually I feel like in some ways I'm sort of the same person But there's definitely a big difference of how I used to be as a kid and how I am now I'm specifically talking about my preteen years. So like legit a kid like 11 to 12 illegitimately a kid You know when you say a kid sometimes people and you know thing 14 16 and stuff I mean, I'm talking about like a childhood deer, you know Everyone under 30 is Yeah I Turned 30 in April you cook. That's right. I forgot Ben is gay Major goes like well fun of been more after she's done. I won't feel bad about kind of indy. Yes, okay So yeah, when I was a kid I was I was very extroverted I'd say I My mom had to lay for years She had to teach me not to greet strangers because in my mind. I was like, oh, hey a person I should greet them because that's the polite thing to do so I would greet people even random strangers on the street and She had to teach it out of me for for several years because I refused because that was rude How can you not greet someone when you see them when you make eye contact? You must greet them break that curiosity and friendliness out of your child right now beat that shit out to make sure them Scared to communicate with others. That's the way to go. Yeah, I wasn't I wasn't scared of people like at all I like I said I'd greet them and I would fight other kids as well Like Dragon Ball Z was a big thing, but even before Dragon Ball Z. I would like fight people either for fun Majors fighting people before Dragon Ball Z made it cool The thing is I'm gonna I'm getting to the yeah, like Dragon Ball Z did did make fighting cool. We had like this sort of like I see like it's almost like a role-play We all assigned names of the characters and I was was it K 18 I think the girl the cyborg the the girl won the blonde one droid 18. Yeah, she was called K 18 I think but yeah, okay Yeah, so I was I was assigned that name and we would like sort of play fight But the but the fighting was I mean the fighting was real And we would we would legit fight I would I would take on the guys you guys stronger than me Like bigger than me. Oh, yeah, I once almost won against like a teenager when I was like I think 10 but he cheated he had to cheat to win against me to win against a little girl I'm sorry about that, but I'll wait till you're done Bring it back to team fighting because this is a big thing It was it was snowing and he used snow against me and that's how he was I know this is pocket sand. Well, thank you I won't like I want to like acknowledge the like weird like cultural Prejudice I have cuz we're just like what do you call it the privilege goggles whenever you talk about Being a childhood in your home country I just imagine Lithuania is like this like bombed out third-world nation with like maybe like two streets And it's all color-coded just like mages avatars all purple. I just imagine it every time You think of cop kill town exactly like it cathedrals everywhere. I mean, you're not I mean I grew out of dead cops in Lithuania I grew up in post USSR Lithuania. They were like a lot of Russians around a lot of Chaos I'd say oh I Grew up with it was like sometimes no electricity and brown running water and stuff So I thought you were gonna be like no, it wasn't that bad Yeah Mages a feral child. I know I was I would I would run around barefoot and your anime wasn't even dubbed, right? Yeah, like is that I read when I was a kid. I ran around barefooted and wielding that It's like cop kill town. It's like Neo Milwaukee. Yeah, just we're just kids running around with like weapons And you would feel right at home in slimes. So you would feel right at home I have to say For years up until this very moment anytime we talked about Lithuania that was the picture I was getting but I thought that's clearly me projecting like It's a lot better now Okay, but only adults run around the streets naked with knives No, my neighborhood was terrible as well like I heard rumors I never okay I did see drunk people stumbling about but I did hear rumors about like people like Using drugs and stuff and selling drugs around and also Also some weird, you know weird nasty people, but like I never really saw them and thank goodness I didn't I did see discarded needles here and there but that's beside the point Anywho Yeah, yeah, back to happy childhood times when I was a good kid Yeah, so yeah, like I would I would I would I would fight people I was I wasn't scared to pick fights with people. I think I my my record is like two bloody noses What about what about why didn't you start some shit? I feel like you got shortchanged in the royal rumble Yeah, I was gonna say yeah Well, I really Put a call out to like the fan artist I want somebody to draw like feral little mage with dual wielding knives in the purple streets How'd you become the funny like girl timid like draw a fan art girl I know like the power of fucking artistic expression, right? We're all speaking the same language of like like fluffy tumbler of shit But then like we have like totally we're like actually totally different people from totally fucking worlds It kind of blows my mind every time I hear shit like that How did it happen? How'd you like were you always just like you're always kicking people's asses But you were still you were still like this No, okay. I was I was still generally good-natured like The very first job that I wanted to have that I remember was a veterinarian But then learn what a veterinarian had to do and that was like oh my stomach's weak I almost fainted the first time we took our cat to the veterinarian. So that that dream died quick and Whenever me and my friends were bored I would get like these schemes on how to help like the environment and nature and stuff It wasn't because the TV told me so I thought hey, you know what would be fun if we would take these brooms and take these rakes and clean up the neighborhood that'd be a fun project for the day and You know mage that reminds me it just is there's a story my mom tells me about me as a child And it's that she just used she was taking me to To summer camp and I was like oh, I don't want to go with that. I'm gonna be sad And I don't know anybody there and so she drops me off And then this is from her perspective and then at the end of the day She comes by to pick me up and at the end of the day She's like Nate come here and like I crawl out of the woods And I have like my belt stuffed with pine cones, and I'm like I've got like four sticks strapped to my back And I'm dual wielding these these big ol limbs, and I'm like mom. I'm in the middle of something I need to come back later like we're dueling right now. The shit is real go away Stick duels are the best Stingtools were a major part of my whole childhood Yeah, my friends would go out into the we go out into the woods and just like try to find Sticks that are about the size of swords. Yeah, and you know come back to the house and fight with them We we would have a pretty sizable collection because if they were good you'd hold on to them until they break Yeah, so like we keep like a pile of all our really good sticks by the side of the house And then my friend Marcus who is like a Like a fucking built like action guy like he just loved to play around with like Stuff like this anyways like he would just like film videos of himself doing kung fu and shit in high school and Like so we would just go into the backyard when he came over and because he was like really quiet and literally just wouldn't talk or Say anything we'd be like I guess we're just gonna fight with sticks. That's what we'll do when he comes over So every time he came over we just fight with sticks until one of us got hurt didn't want to do it In high school told the story. He would tell the story like it was true and no one believed it So it was really fun. He said that he said that some like some like Dojo master stickfighter had like come to his house one day and knocked on his door Looking for him specifically and challenge. Who was this? Which one was this been? First name started with a J Okay. Yeah, I got and then he He and then he had challenged him just specifically and he had dueled him in his backyard at stick fighting and he had won So, you know damn J Unrelatable to me like this this stick wielding experience not only because I don't live next to a force But also like like again, I'm post going outside like going outside was not an option when I was growing up Like you couldn't do it anymore like we did dangerous or something or was It was a combination hot in California It was a combination of it being drilled in those like don't go outside. There's strangers there and also I mean munchie that was a thing when I was a kid right way before What the late 80s at least? Okay? Well, I think the stick fighting I just got a very briefly mentioned my brother got big into stick fighting What he would specifically do is go to the hardware store get a big old plank and then sand it down to where it becomes Like an actual weapon and I think If you honored him in battle in combat with a regular stick He would eventually like get one for you and help you make your own so I ended up getting But yeah, I think I need to take a step back to point out that the ages that I would have stick fought would have been Ages like 12 to 17, which is the period of time. I have known munchie So I know what munchie is doing as opposed to stick fighting He's been in the PCP and drawing fan art and sending me pick-up lines on tumbler Fucking days. Those are the fucking days. I still like like reminisce and think about how like that's how we met And that's how all of this happened was I sent you hey, are you an archaeologist because I've got a bone for you I love it I have a whole section of this podcast talking about the death of toys the death of going outside in the rise of video games So that needs to be something we talk about in depth listening Instead of doing stick fighting all that all that like I do with my friends was just to play smash bros Which like is the same amount of like I mean I did that at the same time too though like yeah, I play smash bros since I was like eight because I had the Less whiz it's just whismical. It's less whiz. Stick fighting was like a younger man's game for me Video games are an old man's game in my mind like yeah Like when I was yeah when I was like nine and like younger at summer camp Maybe maybe between like nine and like 12 or something. Those were like peak stick fighting years as I recall them Uh, but hey, hey, I've got a story Which is it's relevant to this question of what we like is child versus adult only this is how I was exactly the same And I know I've told similar stories, but I I don't believe I've ever told this one And I think everyone will appreciate it greatly now I don't remember exactly what was going through my mind at the time, but I was around I was but somewhere between like 12 and 15 at this time some some of them in that range And so it was nighttime and it was summertime and so I don't know what was going on, but like my my parents went up to bed and they're like Nate walk our dog Which is buddy at the time. I think um, yeah, buddy, buddy was my muse And he uh, they they uh, three quarters peeking. He's one quarter poodle for those wondering The audience was was just dying to know I'm adding richness to the scene So imagine me with this little this little dog emperor, uh, you know on the leash You know taking a shit and and here I stand so like the way that my our backyard was set up Like my parents room is kind of like up Like really high on the house and like there's like three layers down is where the grass is behind the house Christ, what kind of houses you live in? I mean, like, you know, there's the basement then the first floor then the second floor and there's an attic But they you know, they're in the second floor not the attic It like there's a hill in the front of the house. It doesn't go to the back so it gets lower Okay, okay. Okay. Yeah, that's right. It wasn't I mean it is a very big house, but whatever Um, uh, it's uh, my parents are selling that soon, but whatever So the point was all right. I'm sorry. This is the point So I'm walking buddy and I don't know. I don't know what was going through my mind I think it had been a late night of watching anime. I think that's how all terrible ideas started. That's right That's right. So Of course, it was definitely adult swim. It was definitely adult swim or maybe tsunami or something What one of my one of my shows one of my stories was on and I don't know what was going through my mind But I was I was thinking about the future and I was thinking about like what I was gonna do with myself as life Will not and like I wasn't talking to buddy or anything. I was talking to myself and I'm just like I'm just like I'm not I'm not gonna be a cog in the machine I'm not gonna be a cog in the machine. I'm gonna achieve my destiny I'm gonna do whatever it takes. I'm gonna make it in this world and be important So like I was just like talking to myself loudly just like repeating these like mantras to myself based on like, I don't know A tri-gun episode. I just You know, I should have been I should have been The way you start this story not much happen in that story. Well, no, no, but this okay. Well, this this is the important part It's that afterward. So the next day You know, I'm just at breakfast, you know, whatever and I'm I'm sitting there I'm eating breakfast and then mom my mom just leans down over the countertop Looks at me where the big eyes the way they look at an oncoming train and says So not gonna be a cog in the machine They had heard everything they had heard all my words Oh How could you do that to your son to your eyes? I would have died right on the spot. I would have died right there Speaking of embarrassing stories. Will you tell us about the story of the um The talent show the talent show. Is that the one? Okay. Yes. I I don't know if I've ever told this So I'll I'll tell this one quicker than that one. Uh, uh, so it was just in high school I thought I was the shit and this was like, um, I think it was like a freshman year Which I was it was either freshman or sophomore year. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Uh point was so in high school I'm still hurting. I'm still hurting from the climax. So I understand it It was absolutely devastating and I'm sure dad had heard it too and they just this color there Oh, they must just talk imagine them up there. Imagine they're up in their room the night They they heard you and then they talked about like yes, like like when they were in bed again I'm I'm right. They were up there. Let's leave what we just said. I'm upset with them Uh, it was it was cruel. I mean, there's nothing they could have they could have said like they couldn't hear you Shut the hell up. They could have just not said anything Well, I guess that's true The that they didn't have to that story reminded me of a very short one from when I was like 12 or 13 Maybe a little older somewhere in the early teens and uh, I had woken up Uh, jacked off and then went and I was like I was about to leave my bedroom, you know He started off the day, you know Groggy like I don't want to leave the bedroom and when I but I was younger I would always like look out to make sure that nobody was around before I left my bedroom Like yeah, I didn't want to be bothered until I had time to like wake up and be able to talk to people You know, so I was kind of like listening into the downstairs to see what was going on And I could hear my grandma talking to my mom and she's like, well Why don't you go wake him up because that's how she sounds and my mom's like Well, he sleeps naked and I don't want to see him naked and she goes He just does that so he can touch himself and I was like, oh my god I mean literally I was just like, well, I mean, yeah Yeah, I mean, I think that says more about your grandma than about you I mean that story. Yeah, it does Well, that's interesting than the last it's the same about about both of us actually because she was right So there's things to be learned. There's many lessons to be learned Well, I think with the point like obviously that's true, but I think it's I think I think it speaks something that she that she felt the need to point it out Yeah, your grandma's logic doesn't make sense. She's like, well, don't mind the fact that he's naked He does that for purposes of masturbation. It's like that means there's no reason to not go to the room It does really refute that's true. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't yeah When you were a kid, did you ever worry about like secret cameras in your house? No, well, I didn't grow up in a former soviet union country. Yeah Well as as a matter of fact, our dad did set up a camera in the basement at one point Oh, that's right. He did. Oh, I forgot. I thought it was on the outside But no, there was one on the inside for a while. Wait, are you sure? I remember being outside But like he could look in with it That's what I remember Okay, and like I remember him saying like knowingly when like you had some friends over like, yeah You know, I'll just be like, I'll just be keeping an eye on you know Maybe I'll take a look on the inside Through my surveillance camera. No, yeah, don't worry. Yeah, our dad's a fucking creep is the Oh, he's just he didn't think of the consequences of the how we'd feel He's a silly man. He's a silly man consequences that I was unsettled by him. Yeah, generally Help me ruminate on this. Help me percolate on this because this is a real thinking thought that I have I think that hiding stuff from your parents is literally like a good healthy thing to do Yes, yeah, it will help breed individualism and make you more independent as a person a child Like an adult does not need to know when you start whacking off. Oh, it's just like what I don't necessarily agree with you munchy But I think that the problem the reason I don't agree with you is that ideally You wouldn't have to hide things from your parents because your parents would have a better understanding of you right The only reason I just redidged is because I think it's a fundamental question of human nature as opposed to like a good relationship with your children I straight up don't think a child ever should pass along the information as to like whether or not they jack off now I will know that Sorry, okay I had to say this the reason you have to hide from your parents is that They don't like they refuse to be in the reality you are actually When my son's jacking off If your son is like, you know 13 14, we like you should just know like he's probably jacking off And you should not try to live in a in a like a lot of parents just try to live in the universe in their own mind Where you don't do the things that they don't want A lot of the time it's not a matter of like like not wanting to accept It's just not wanting to like believe in the sense that you don't Hey, let's give Needing to hide things from the parents the reason that they should Is that it's just like it makes for like a a society that like can change if if nobody wants a kid That is just obedient because yeah They need to they need to rebel in some way. It's not about like the parents knowing No, because leadership you want to train leadership about the kids taking the initiative to not tell them That's right. Okay. Well, look, I think that the way that we often The systems in which discipline is instilled a lot of the time like for instance in the military Is that you have an extreme authoritarian figure like grinding you into the ground and they are also like they have they have total control over you and That can make you experience ego death in a similar kind of way where you can look you can gain maturity by looking past yourself You know and like I do think there's also good reasons to good things you can learn by like Learning to deceive people who are wrong Which like the reason you should lie to your parents is that they're probably wrong But if your parents are Like if your parents are communicating with you and you have a good relationship What are you gonna hide from them? Like why you can't just make up shit to hide from your parents just to learn that lesson Your parents can just teach you that lesson. Look, there will be differences I'm gonna teach my kids to hide a lot of things from school. I'm gonna teach them to hide a lot of things from Did you are overestimating how much you are going to have in common with your kids? I am not saying that I am gonna do a perfect job raising my kids and go through all I'm just saying I'm saying philosophically why your point is incorrect because no parents alive should ever know everything their children don't I can't imagine any of us having children Why do you need to know there's a huge difference between knowing everything they do And hiding things from your parents. I don't if we're talking about if it's bad to hide something And you don't tell me that you went to take a dump. You're not hiding it from me You're just not taking the thing about that that's a good example because taking a shit is an embarrassing thing to do Just as a human being it just is people don't really want to talk about it if you're stupid But what if it's a really impressive shit? But that that's one of the base bio like they're like literally everyone does it and yet we're kind of embarrassed about it It's just I think there are there are legitimate reasons to be embarrassed about shit and those are the reasons that I am like I don't want you to smell my shit because it smells bad You know and I don't want to look at it because it looks gross But like the fact that someone takes a shit there are people out there Like there are women out there for instance who will not acknowledge the fact that they should like I know them Or they won't acknowledge that they fart and i'm like I don't give a fuck that you shit or fart because I do the same things I'm not going to hold that against you but like some people feel like they are expected to think those things are embarrassing And so they find them embarrassing. They're not using logic. They're using expectations Like so i'm saying that like in my idea of a perfect society It's one where We don't have to tell everyone everything that's going on because we should all have a level of understanding and trust in one another That we trust you to be doing something good And like the reason that people come into contact with their parents is that those trust Relationships break down because your parents do not set reasonable expectations for you They want you to be perfect instead of being human even though they made you while being imperfect and being human And they don't understand how to Biblical way, dude Yeah, if you want to like truly be on the level with your kids You have to be employing as much of an open mind and critical thinking as the child themselves is growing up Right. So like when I think of kids, I'm thinking behind your toes, you know Yeah, what is what is the most like difficult and hard to relate to? Imagine if I ben saint were capable of the titanic feet of employing the level of critical thinking as a child Imagine if you had the capability of listening instead of jutting in and interrupting to do in the middle of a statement If Yeah, like the thing is like I think my dad particular just couldn't never saw coming How little of a shit me and my siblings would care about Christianity because like my dad came from a broken fucking house Broken fucking family broken fucking world. So like he needs like this like theological backbone But then he made the mistake of raising his children to be happy with life So it's like why the hell do I need like a diadol narrative to like back up like Conscious I used to I used to love like Christianity up until someone told me that people actually believe the stories We're not we're not just like we're not just like playing we're not just role playing What I liked about it is just like, you know, it's sounded to me like fairy tales and like, oh, it's just You just like stories to teach him world. That's what I thought about Yeah, it's a story time. So I think it's a story time I just to take a class that he would teach, you know, uh, Christianity. I think wrote Roman Catholicism Uh, specifically I don't remember but basically in that is that class They just would tell the stories and I get to draw so like it was like the perfect class And once a month and once a month we have grape juice and crackers and you know, it's pretty good No Catholicism is like the jock Christianity branch Whereas the more like, um, Protestant more like, um, particular education oriented Like actually like really seriously following the bible to the letter is definitely the nerd group of Christianity It's like what Ted Cruz is all like, right? I put it more in terms of the uh, uh, the what is it the virgin Protestant versus the chad Yeah It really is Actually fucking hilarious The Catholics are all about image and looking good and being like popular, right? Whereas the the fucking Protestants and like, especially baptists They're all about like following the rules and like being faithful correctly, right? Yeah, um, you should draw someone to draw like the the the virgin like martin luther You know Because someone making like the okay imagine if someone made the chad Protestant it would come off as total It would come off as totally Like they really believe that the chad the chad, uh, the chad, um The god david, I can't the catholic needs to have like eight names at least Like he needs to have like the name of every baptist in his like virgil sanctius augustine the 14th Like, you know, but the christian do we as people? Yeah I'll do right don't you get like the middle names from being like baptizer or whatever Oh some no, maybe catholics do. I mean we were proud. Yeah. Yeah, like catholic Or someone like chooses like like a given name like they choose like a biblical name Oh, you know when I was young confirmed or something when I was young and getting confirmed I was really mad at catholics, uh, and I expressed this very autistically that I didn't get to choose like my own new name Yes, I really wanted the name gabriel. I thought it'd be cool But I remember asking my dad what percentage of devoted catholics. Do you think are going to go to heaven? He said 25 percent Wait, but doesn't your dad believe in in heaven and stuff though? Yeah. Well, my dad's just like yeah, but like basically one time Me and my dad were talking about the idea of cult like people who take christianity and then like have their own stupid idea of what it means And they take it too far. He's like, oh, well, you know the whole catholic church is basically a cult, right? And I said how what percentage of them in spite of following catholicism correctly are still like Believing in god correctly. He's like probably 25 percent. Those the ones you're gonna have to have it Why wouldn't it be zero because they're doing well I don't know There's a lot of looseness like because you're a protestant you've already deviated majorly like from the codified original like Yeah, which Catholic also loosey-goosey out here, man. It's also deviates from Judaism. So, you know Um, well, I mean because jesus, but yeah, I mean I guess that's I imagine the number for jews is zero percent Oh, I probably probably I don't anyway. Whatever. What the fuck was I even talking about talking about my dad talking about relating to your kids So I'm thinking okay I need to be prepared because my my parents also like Projected the fact that when they wanted to homeschool their kids onto the fact that like they would have done really good that they suddenly had to do homeschool because Going to public school is a much bigger pain in the ass Like the thing about homeschool is if you're fucking disciplined you can just get all your work done immediately And and like the light world is your oyster. The problem is it's so easy It's such a much more efficient way of doing it that it's really fucking boring and hard to like pay attention, right? So like we just barely squeak our way through it, but my parents didn't get why it would be hard for that reason They couldn't relate so I need to be prepared I need to like basically hope that my kids are as unrelated to me as possible So I'm imagining them like not being into video games at all or art just being fucking chads, right? They want to do sports, right? I need to prepare for that also Political views right like like how the world is right because we think oh old people are so stupid for not understanding You know, uh every color is mine crap level of human No, like fucking racism is bad, right? But you know in a generation or two who knows where it could evolve into a degree that we now are fuddy duddy So I'm just basically going to assume that being a fucking anti-sjw racist is going to be popular in like 2020 or like 2030 I mean it's already it's already getting pretty hot. It's already getting pretty hot It'll be like that right and also like respecting things are heating up having the racism friend Having a respect given on the ground will be seen as wrong, right? There'll be all these like woke like fucking parables about how having uh Listening to the other side is wrong trying to be respectful to someone over a disagreement is like all like it's lies, right? Oh my god for my kids to have an ideology that I think is just Completely wrong so that I could be prepared and act cool about it be like, uh-huh. That's your belief Mm-hmm What if you if you act all like the fuck I've never heard of a person who actually blows up and says what you're doing something new Get out of here. Like I've never heard of a person Sound like that. But there are oh, I know I know I have no kids. I know how I have friends who have parents who are just like Oh Like um, I mean it's like if you're if you're a parent and like for whatever reason if your world view Comes majorly in conflict with like what your child Chooses to do with their life. Like it has to be in a serious major way. That's really the only way I can see them Listen, I'll just give you some perspective. I have a friend whose mom Uh, this has been pokemon go was first coming out Like policy one of the shadow one of the only old people in existence who was still riding the pokemon is demonic line Even when pokemon go made a popular That's retro. I know right throwback. She found a fake article In which there was a fake interview with the guy who created pokemon who in this fake interview Says that he made pokemon specifically to convert western children to satanism And she thought it was real and sent it to my friend her daughter saying this is why you shouldn't play pokemon She thought it was real, right? We interviewed her dad working nintendo. Is that how she knew? We interviewed noted, uh, japanese entrepreneur ken pokemon Yeah We asked him why And so my friend told her my friend told her like dude, that's a fake article and she's like it might be but like, you know What it's saying is ultimately true. Dare we take that chance dare we take that chance Wait, it's enlightening that her answer her answer does not hinge at all on whether it is fake Right. Yeah, so just let you know She's the kind of parent who will be like that she will she will actually like do a gasp like My friend said he was really hard to drop her monocle. Yeah. No. Yeah, if she had a monocle like my friend What's the what's the rule we established for one person says one thing and another person says the same thing It must be true gets her fucking jimmy's rustle all the time Like my friend said it was really hard for her to learn how to drive because like she was taught by her mom And her mom if anything slightly possibly might be dangerous happening in the car She'll do a full-on gasp and freak my my friend the fuck out be like Like that. So yeah, there are definitely parents who will go Well, like what like someone like juggling knives in the car or something, you know, that's that's like I would gasp if I was in danger of automobile peril like no like more like it's time for you to slow down at the stop sign and You are in no way You are not you're not taking too long to slow down, but I'm worried you might not so I'm gonna gasp that kind of thing Yeah, you know, I kind of know what that's like because I'm teaching Michelle to drive these days pretty terrifying Yeah When you're not in control Indeed Hey, uh, if we would like You guys would you guys happy in school? Insert the entire school podcast here, please. I was sir I was moderately anyone on earth that was unironically happy in school when I was a kid I loved school when I was a teenager. I hated school. So I mean, I like Were you happy at school? I was happy if you look at me now If you look at me now, you would probably think that I was bullied and whatever We didn't really have like bullies in my no, we didn't we didn't like that didn't really go on nobody got like beat up or anything Uh, I I felt I felt Everyone was way too high to worry about that I felt ostracized and I felt like a nerd and a social pariah But looking back like I had a click or two that I was pretty tight with right I would I would make jokes in class and people would laugh and stuff and right I think I was I think I was actually pretty okay I remember a cracked article and every any time I said a cracked article I always want to say it because I don't really trust cracked that much but they said that like, um There was an article that mentioned that like the kids who shot up columbine Uh, they were not bullied. They're just have a huge fucking victim complex Yeah Yeah Okay, I mean when I mean same goes for uh, elliot roger like he never yeah He never actually got turned down by any women. He just he just never got offered Out right. No, but they never offered those bullies. He he got turned down like at least once Well, okay, but that's not enough like the fault lies Yeah, most most of it was just him like from afar looking at women and being like they would never accept me Yeah, wait, what was gibb saying though? He was chiming in. Uh, I Do you love elliot roger as much as we know the conversation changed and I forgot what I was gonna say The topic is childhood I'll just my my whole experience of school was the first day of school I got on the bus and I distinctly remember That like I cried because my I had to let go of my mom I had never been like with outside of like eyesight of my mom basically by this point Um, and I get on the bus and I go like right to the back and I'm looking at her through the back window And she's waving and I'm crying and it was misery for 12 years I I want to quickly say it's it's weird like did she says like that's the the first time he you know He wasn't with an eyeshadow of his mom like remember My wild days when I was a kid like at around five years or so like my my parents would just let me go into the neighborhood And I was not supervised five years old. Yeah Well mage, it's different when you're raised by wolves. It's a different sort of dynamic Yeah, it's interesting like It's just people say that like right now it's dangerous and probably no one would let their kids go off It's actually safer than it's ever been statistically It had nothing to do with it being dangerous for my parents not allowing me I had no interest in being outside the eyesight of my mom So like yeah, I'm just saying in general like nowadays like no Yeah, no self-respecting things have changed the perception the the what are they called hover parents or whatever the hovercraft whatever I was I was all parents are beta orbiters of their children They're all beta or parents have been totally friendzoned Let's not let's not talk about that right now because I was walking around my old childhood ruins for devious reasons I will not disclose I was walking around like like old schoolyards and stuff like that And I've noticed that I still have a feeling to this day like years after I've moved out of like my elementary and middle school and stuff where When I'm in the car and like we turn in to go to school And we turn in the same turn that I've been like I went to when I was in school I still get that hit of anxiety and like oh god. It's really happening like I'm going to school today Like it's like like I'm ready. I'm ready to go into homeroom. Oh god like like years like even I was going to my kindergarten Elementary school and I turned into the complex and I felt a pit of despair growing my stomach And I felt like I was going to go to school that day Yeah, you know, it's interesting. That's a nightmare. You know, so having gone to school There's an interesting perception I get from people right whenever whenever I new school a new fresh shooting happens Right and we count up the bodies one to 12 bodies and so then you know the the people have their opinions And what's funny is that there's something that like both sides always agree on but they never like talk about this part So basically one side always goes so okay You know how we keep some a bunch of kids keep getting shot up And some kids decide to like grab guns and shoot kids in these giant prisons that we locked them up in for nine Hours a day that they're all miserable and depressed in I think it's probably because of the video games They relaxed with when they come home. That's what caused it, right? And then other people are like, hey, you know those giant buildings We're like kids locked up for nine hours a day and feel miserable and depressed and anxious like their entire youths I think it's actually the fact that they have a weapon to shoot kids within the first place We should get rid of the weapon and I'm like, hold on Why aren't we addressing the fact that we're locking everyone up in these nine hour prisons for their entire youths That they're all terrified and depressed in like why not address that part of the issue Excuse me. I mean, I yeah, I mean you collect all the all the delicate exploding hundred point bonus You know bullet sponges in one place that I'm gonna want to get We're not saying that you all deserve to lose your kids for help making us participate in this system Just that maybe I don't feel as bad. My favorite is the hot diggity demon tweet, which was um New school gets shot up people ban guns me ban schools I I think When I went to college in the UK I just want to quickly say munchie. Let mage finish. She's been chiming in Oh In the UK we had like, um First of all, we had like lanyards. So we wouldn't be able to access the uh the buildings unless we were allowed to And we also had metal detectors so we couldn't bring anything metal in them And UK doesn't even have guns So I think that's an interesting practice that may should be considered. Maybe Uh, it's an interesting thing. Uh, I completely agree that schools need to be banned. Uh, get rid of them now Yeah I had a point and I forgot so continue and I'll think about it until I have the thing about school He um, I don't remember being on the school podcast. I remember I think I I missed it and I wanted to be on it I don't want to go on to like a huge spiel but uh my basic thoughts on school is that I used to hate it obviously because that's what you're supposed to do Um, but like after checking my privilege after going through And remembering that I'm I'm actually like I'm a white boy and it was a pretty good school And it was pretty good and there were lots of nice people there. I didn't actually have a terrible time I had a lot of like good like Like um, like the art department at my school was quite nice and the teachers were chill And they would let me stay behind like uh after school to just work on the teachers were chill The school was lit. The cafeteria was on the Yeah, the obvious things about school were like, uh, yeah, the some people it's social structures of shit A lot of teenagers are terrible and cliques are gay Um, and I was shy so like says member of the pcp hypocrite Yeah, got him but like it's it was a good it was a good time If it wasn't the greatest but like I I I appreciate school like when it's done, right, it's pretty good Yeah, well school gave me the chance to rise the highest I have in my life and fall to my lowest point And that is the story that I was telling before and allowed me to share it briefly now It was it was just um, so when I was I think I was um Everyone knows that I was a god as a young child. I was the ultimate dodgeball champion I was I could do 50 pull-ups in high school. I uh, I just I I had hair down to my waist I was just a god just in every possible way. Um, I wore those fucking kingdom hearts wristbands every day That's how you know that's how you know that's how you know I wore weighted leg braces because I wanted to fucking be goku. Okay, but anyway the point is um I actually developed a bit of a fan club in uh in high school There was like three girls who would call themselves this And I I occasionally get creepy facebook messages from them up until last year Um, really? Yeah, it's true. I just have to check. I got back into facebook and I yeah, yeah last year I got another one, but anyway the point is like like fuck them Because I like one time okay one time Well, I mean there's that one time a friend of mine walked up to me uh and said hey, Nate That's my friend jessica. She wants to date you. I looked up. I saw her and I said That's nice and went back to reading like one piece or That's that that's why But why did you say that sense? Why was that your response? I'm sure I was like nervous or like, you know Did you not like or are you just not interested in the entire endeavor at this point in my life? I just had like no interest in girls really. I mean I did have a crush on a girl But I I don't know it was like it was more like platonic. I guess like I wasn't thinking about fucking or anything I don't know Jesus. How I get it. I didn't want to fuck anymore. I didn't want to fuck anyone in high school I was well, I did a little bit, but I was but I would have been nervous about like when I was young I was like legit scared of alcohol and I think I was the same way kind of scared of sex Because like I didn't understand it was like a foreign world. I was like ah I thought I thought that sex was like bad and something that only like the bad kids did because we weren't supposed to And I was like I'm better than them because I'm not Doing and I mean I I was a kissless virgin up until like my fucking 20s. So, you know, that was rough Um, anyway, anyway, so the the story goes that I believe it was sophomore year And the talent show is coming up and I thought I'm gonna fucking ace this like I ace everything Um and maybe maybe whatever I like in just to paint the picture I took all ap classes I could take even when I wasn't good enough to hand like I never got lower than like I don't know like a c or no The b's and c's I was a student But I took all ap classes because I would not it would hurt me too deeply in my pride To not take the hardest possible classes that were available Even though the valedictorian herself like just did not do that because there was no point I mean the point is I'm just I'm characterizing myself as an asshole egomaniac. Okay, but the point is Uh, there's a well don't The the the talent show comes up and I've decided I'm going to choreograph my own dance and thing And I'm gonna dance to another one bites the dust and sing with freya mercury And so I do that I choreograph it and I get up there and I sing and dance Uh, and I I they they count down the who are the winners and I just think to myself Oh, of course I'm gonna win this but then I don't and it was humiliating And I didn't make any sense to me and it was the worst time of my life That's it. That's it. That's it terrible like everyone booed you or like you made it fool yourself. No, everyone You know, everybody. Well, you don't understand. I don't care what other people think of me It's only what I think other people think of me that matters to me. Wait, that doesn't make any fucking sense Anyway 80% build-up and and like 2% like oh here's as all my stories are Yeah Half to nothing Have I told the story about have I told the story about thinking that I got the role that I wanted to in the school play But then it was actually his wife That's right. You have I think All right, I won't I won't repeat it then Uh, if I could go back to talking like at the very beginning. I'm sure Okay, let me say but the audience has let me say it real quick real quick You can tell a little after the podcast I auditioned for a play and I even made it doesn't want to hear it No, no, no, I do want to hear it. I just don't want to take up everyone's time. I'm sorry. No You're not my friend anymore Every small audience member was probably like, oh you forgot about this to say like you like there are like a thousand like loose threads In this podcast where we say we're gonna do that one because I thought I had told it dropped off Yeah, okay, whatever. Uh, I want to go back to one of the very first questions was Yeah, uh, did you want to know how I became the mature and by mature? I mean insane person you see for you Uh, this is where I reveal the fact that I am actually, uh, the main girl from karkana But instead of being beautiful and elegant, I'm actually inconceivable and a maniac Yeah, uh, so Uh, when I was like a little kid All I cared about was having like the approval of like adults I didn't care about the other kids that liked me. I didn't care about any of that All I wanted like was like the praise of being like, oh wow Like like anthony like thank like thank you for helping me take out the trash. You're so Responsible, we're so nice. You're like, thank you. You're such a mature kid and I'm like fuck man I spent a couple years all the time. I've known you. You've never docked your name to me now. I can't be undone They can't yeah, I've said did you not did you know his name? No Whoa, there you go. There you go. Well, I guess we know what level of friendship. We're at divus zero Uh, anyway, I I I was so hopped up on compliments. I was straight up sniffing those that praise day in day out Yeah And and so I wanted to like modify my behavior so I could maximize the confidence that I got So so I talk about this a little bit on the sitcoms episode, but it goes farther than this Uh, I basically like there was an age at like 10 or something. I was like, all right Cartoons are kid shit. Like I can't do cartoons anymore. It's all about sitcoms and like daytime television That's where all the mature adults are doing. That's what that's what that's the new Hopped up on I'm watching I was watching golden girl because you went through this so young that you got to like figure out that adults were dumb before you Even were one, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, how do you get out of that arc? That's what I want to know Uh, well, if a funny thing I found this little thing called the horseshoe crew that were just like to like talk like in like my little pony and Shit, so I was in that like whole scene and eventually I was realizing, you know, I quite like cartoons Like quite like when things are like drawn and it's it that's sort of like Metamorphosized into me being okay with the fact that I am a child and I was like completely like reverse where like a long time Of my life where like I was like from like eight until like, I don't know like 12 or 13 Where I was really dedicated to trying to become like not necessarily a mature person in the sense that like I'm like, you know, like like a serious all-tax person in the sense that like I'm you know I'm the cream of the crop of kids like wow Is that why is that part of why you were so into home stuck because it was like all cartoony and kitty But also like really cerebral and literary Uh a little bit. Yeah Anyway, it went a full circle to the point where now I'm like full like kid power and I reject All sense of the adult world. I just want to go back Not like I just want to go back to like being like nice and and like and like looking with optimism to the world And not be nihilistic not being like oh like like like life shit now question mark I don't want to be reflecting. I'm like, oh how good things used to be. I want to have things be good now I don't want to be thinking about how like oh youtube so bad. Oh, I'm just here to make a quick buck Oh, you like like online creation is such a fucking drag. Oh, they're all fucking hacks Nars is not a single good youtuber. Wow. Wow. Look at me. Aren't I cool for not liking things? Oh, wow I'm so fucking. I'm so mature. Oh, I I realized that I'm just around by filth day and day out Oh, I'm I'm I'm such a fucking adult. I'm such an adult. Everyone praise me praise me. I hate things praise me No, I'm not about that shit. I'm here. I'm a kid. I'm full of energy and passion I'm here. I'm here with the youthful eyes of a baby boy and I'm here to make my mark on the fucking world I'm not gonna have any fucking naysayers or debbie downers make fun of the internet The internet is my playground. The internet is real. YouTubers are great. Everything is fucking great. All your adults are fucking lame You're all lame and you don't get anymore. You don't fucking get it. We've grown past you. We have evolved past you We have did you evolve you have mega evolved and you are fucking old shit. You are old hat. You don't get it anymore Leave literally leave. Yeah, dude. Yeah, like um, yeah talking about being uh Rebellious against what people want you to be when you're older. Oh, you'll get over this You'll get over that the number one thing that I wanted to be rebellious against was Thinking that my childhood was better, right? Like there was a time when I was like 17 And an older person said, oh, yeah, I remember when I was your age That was the best years of my life and I'm thinking gross one I'm I was just thinking one. I've just been sitting around doing nothing with my life being completely miserable Two wait, how old were you? How old were you 17 or 16? Jesus fucking christ two This guy in like his late 50s is fucking handing me the free sample at a grocery store. Obviously this Yeah, well when when when when you peak at 17 when you're the kind of person who peaked at 17 and it never got any better past that That's not a good sign. What do you think either? He was handing me the fucking free sample at price chopper So I was thinking yeah, it's like clearly people who just were not fit for this earth Like they should have died. They should have died young that wasn't the only way, right? Yeah, yeah, that's the only way and they miss they miss their chance That's the two things I still want to talk about is like life getting better or worse when you become old and also the death of going outside Which I guess doesn't actually need that much elaboration, but those are the two subtopics. I'm still particularly interested in I just like to say That I'm deeply sorry about how much I fucked up my story because I told it like shit Yeah, I thought I had not I thought I told it on the episode. So I rushed to the ending I just want everyone to know it was really good when I told it in private For you maybe as you said the other day in the call and you did say and it was like a really like fun story that like wow Yeah, you know, I'm glad that you're my friend like I'm really glad that I know but not anymore Yeah, you really blown it now. I see how you handle it under pressure. I'm not confident in its actual quality I'm told it on the episode before right Uh, yeah, yeah There was a little hype as to the the the reveal of that. I had lost that that was what made it If you had actually been performed the same thing you you played the song you sang it We had to sit there and be like, yep, you definitely lost I did it on the episode. Yeah We should do that. I mean it was a dance thing. We would just have a foot shuffle Yeah, I did moonwalk much. You haven't seen fully coolly yet. Have you no All right, I would like to request you watch that and we could maybe do like a whole fucking because everybody We could do a whole thing. It's good for me. That's true back me on chibi bakas fully coolly The arc of the main character of fully coolly is that he Basically like It's trying to grow up too fast Like he wants to be an adult and he wants to he sees the adults around him It's like failing because they're all like kind of immature and he's like Oh, you're supposed to act like this like this is what it means to be an adult And then it's kind of about him realizing that you don't need to do that and that adults Generally being an adult does not mean you're like a radically different person It just means that you have like a lot more responsibilities. Basically. He tries to be cool, but steady is a fool Much exactly my life where I was super like it was super inspired by all the like adults around me and not like Not in the sense that like I really like liked what they were doing But just in the sense that they were authority figures and so by default I looked up I felt that that's what they were doing. Oh, I didn't look up the correct thing to do Like I didn't have any role models like like my dad is a very good mature person And he's like cool in his own way But like he's not the kind of cool that I look up to in a way if you know what I mean So like I remember specifically as a child thinking I I remember specifically out loud thinking this Like you thinking it out loud not subconsciously like this was something that actually went through my head sitting there thinking I have I look up to no one there's no one who I respect until I found the internet Then only on the internet did I start finding things I respect and then learning things about people who aren't on the internet I never sort of looked up to any adult either like uh people My friends had idols and stuff like Britney Spears was super popular back then I remember specifically thinking to myself like why would I want to be like someone else when I can just be me? You know it just that you never made sense to me to try and be like someone else That seemed like hard and what's the point you said if there's nothing missing in my life I only I only admired fictional characters I want to I want to express deeply that this is this is a very shameful praise This is a very shameful inspiration because I don't like actually like Feel like I want to follow the footsteps or like believe in the qualities of the adults around me like I like No, the adults around me. I'm really like, you know what like I want to take up that mental I want to do what you're doing. I'm not like inspired in the same way that I'm inspired like people online It's just because they were like the adults around me and because they're adults They know what they're doing by default. It's it's instilled in me I I'm really curious about this because you are a big lad And I'm and I'm wondering like how being like maybe as tall as the adults Around you affected the way you look up to them metaphorically because I I have as a small boy Like knowing that people like obviously you're a kid people who are bigger than you are in charge And that's how you understand it And but like I've I've noticed like a couple times even though there's like a kid who's like clearly He's like a young teenager, but he's taller than me. I feel like this Inherent like oh, he's in charge Not that I actually act on that in any way, but I'm like it's like a for a brief moment. I'm like, oh Yeah, oh, wait. No, he's a kid. He's a kid. I'm I'm done the cooler than him I I kind of feel like like once you are tall like that power dynamic of tall versus small kind of disappears Because I really like even when I'm talking to someone who's significantly shorter than me I don't like think about it or like even realize it most time like I like that's That's your tall privilege. That's your tall privilege talking at all. That's tall privilege. You have the privilege of not noticing Where's us? Manlets have to notice where it's forced upon being being tall is not what it's all cracked up to be What I hated about being taller than everyone else It's just practical and I like I like I mean, there's some good points But what I really hated when I was a kid I was usually the tallest kid in any friend group or even even among like boys and stuff So whenever we hung out and whenever people got in trouble I usually got the brunt of the blame because people assumed I'm the oldest and the most responsible Because I was the tallest even though that wasn't the case I we went I was once hanging out with like Two other boys and uh, they were throwing rocks at a sign And they were throwing rocks at a sign And this old dude he he went up to us like he sneaked up on us and he grabbed my arm and like the The two guys scattered that's grounds for salt and the and the and the two boys just completely, you know Ran for their lives and I got a big lecture. It's like, oh, you're the oldest You should be more responsible and set example and stuff like that And I was the youngest of the group and I was Yeah, what hippo said is that like He still is cognizant of this sort of like bestial fucking primal power dynamic just from height And physical stature, but like you can be aware of it and then like not let it affect you At least not too much, but especially over the course of your development It can put you into a feedback loop and I Based on how people treat me and talk to me I think most people think i'm usually three to five years younger than I am and it was only in the last couple of years I've started like getting people treating me like i'm definitely an adult Like after I spit like a solid year driving and having a full-time job and like being you know completely independent Only then did I seem to have enough swagger to where like people think okay This is like an actual fucking person like at a store not like they're with their parents, you know what I mean But it's catch-de-vous swaggering the fuck out of the grocery store. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Even up until like my like early 20s, even when I was like 21 People would still talk to me like I was in high school or even say like oh Or like like think I was in high school, right? And when people treat you like that it affects yourself image So munchie meanwhile who's passed for an adult for a long fucking time It creates this fucking feedback loop and I think it's a good one if people think you're an adult Unless you're just nothing but slapped with blame for throwing rocks at you Munchie's a trans. He's a trans adult. He passes. Yeah Here's the here's the best thing in life And here's like the thing that like I'm gonna be turning 18 soon And this is gonna that's gonna be like the death of my actual life Like everything after that will be nothing because I define my life as the following As long as I can walk up to a cashier or you know, whatever or my mom Specifically my mom can introduce me to someone and she can say how old do you think he is? And she can gesture to him words at me and they can be like um 22 some guys said like 28 like everyone has Like like like the the gap between my actual age And uh my like what people think my age is as long as that is at least 10 years plus I'm in the prime of my life as long as people think that that I'm older than I actually am That's when I know that I'm like wherever I can walk up to a fucking cashier or just the other fucking day when I was getting my passport done Uh, the uh the receptionist the receptionist was like, oh, what are you like 22? I'm like Some some people get upset some people get upset because they get older and people stop carding them at liquor stores Munchie never got Offered alcohol of time and I'll have that fucking moment. I praise this. I live for this I wake up specifically for this. They'll come by and like like would you like a drink? I'm like No, I'm under age. I'm not allowed to drink alcohol The sadistic glee that what she says No, I'm not old enough. He's been waiting to say this. I was surprised munchie that you're still against sex That'd be the ultimate the ultimate prank like after she gets up. It's like I have to let you know something Oh, no I'm under age That's a great party trick Munchie's story reminded me like a little bit what my parents like to do like whenever they have Used to whenever they used to have like friends over The ones they haven't seen in years So I have a sister older sister by the way. So like um So when when these uh friends would be uh had been over I used to be like a little baby or and stuff like that So like uh my parents would go like this like let me introduce you to my littlest one and I was tall The tallest person in the room You're pretty fun nice It's fucking beautiful. Hey, by the way, I feel before we wrap up here. I feel like that's what could happen I just want to like clarify my my my transition here So you can understand my my my growing pains Uh when I say that I was trying to be mature as like a kid you may think but munchie You're so fucking inconceivable. You're you're just unfathomable the way that you are In the sense that you're fucking autistic and retarded and I hate you like all you do is scream And thank you viewer like like good job and like thumbs up and thank you But what I mean is I don't mean like particularly like I was trying to be like really like serious in the sense that like Real world like adults would recognize me as an adult I would like play you know, I would play along and I wouldn't be like a weird autistic person in real life But I just mean that I wanted to have the praise of adults in any scenario So when I was around people online, I would you know I would I would act mature in the sense that I would make funny jokes That's really what it translates to was I would make funny jokes and it would be as Steve puts it on point So so I wouldn't I wouldn't be fucking like I wouldn't be like a fucking spurg lord But I would be autistic is what I'm trying to say And he is to this very day. Do you guys get it? Am I explaining myself? Well? I'm not I'm not I'm not being a weird like uh like faggot who only like like dresses in suits I'm just being I'm just being the kind of guy that people would unironically praise for being cool That's what I was that's what I was like chasing all throughout my life And I felt the way to do that was to try and be like like mature in in the context of whatever scenario that I was in Be it like an actual like real adult or a funny person I can only imagine man. She in that hamburger onesie. That's that's that's all you know Whatever that was still me trying to be whatever my teeth is like I go to the store I just imagine munchie with that hamburger onesie in a store. Yes I wear the out of the house not an In conceivable amount of time like I wear that like pretty regularly outside the house like like downtown Incidentally, it's a it's a pizza onesie with the burger like jacket thing or something By the way, I'm so upset with you. Did you like I'm so distraught every time I remember That like like okay, here's what my intention was I don't think I have any communities to you But I want this to be the case when I left like on accident the burger burger was started there And I gave it to you like I didn't want you to ship it I wanted to be that to be like little cow from home stuck Like I passed it to you then you used it and then like you threw it away But you just so happen that you threw it away into a trash can that was that was going directly to a landfill in Chicago And then Nate while surfing on on the web aka the trash can to find some sick pumps He would find it and it would just like transfer from pcp member to pcp member Appearing the background of videos until the end of time and to have its own narrative arc Until finally you returned to me at the end of like a conclusion of an art But but tragically the only thing that gets transferred around here is Wait, so who does have the burger thing right now you I thought I gave it back to you or something No, it's gone. It's lost. It's it's oh god damn it Yep It's great job. That's iconic Munchie. You should never have trusted digital hold on to that. This was your mistake I mean, it's possible that it's in my house somewhere. I don't please you you had it when you were going around the country Oh god, we're all gonna get fucking lynched in that period. I had returned it to you No, like at anime you did not visit me Yeah, I did at anime expo. I had it. Oh, no, you did not give it to me Well, I'll have to either find it or find out who has it What where it you have maybe it's currently going on its own like little cow arc Let's hope so If it somehow found its way into the the giant goodwill throw away all the clothes I think that happened like a year ago then that would be where it is, but uh, okay, great I'm really happy about that. Well, hey, uh, this is life Anyway, let's move on. Okay guys, we're done with this childhood is gay. We've settled bad moving on It's time to Feed begin our before we we actually get to the thing.

Yeah beautiful simply beautiful Yeah, I don't know how many we're gonna have to make we're gonna have to make some like merch or like tc Like a pcp like tank top or something so we can get people in there Dude, I would love to go to the gym with a pcp fit life tank top or something. That'd be fucking sick We'll fucking do something like that We should definitely do that like they have I don't know if they have like tank tops on red bubble or something But we could definitely figure something out pcp fit life is the way the truth and the light though We need to make this real true and revisit it By the way, I mean I guess on the subject of the pcp fit life I've been working out things have been going good. I've been lowering my sugar intake. I'm still avoiding all sugar And life is good. Yep. I'm doing uh, I'm going keto. I'm going. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, really? Yeah, I gotta lose like 20 pounds. I I gained like 20 pounds Go load it up. But most of it. Wait, wait. This is a diet, right ben. Yeah. Yeah What's that? I mean, it's you just you just go really low carb for a while. That's what that's pretty much all this. Okay Uh, do your raccoon tendencies. I give this a week No, no, I think this is pretty easy. I think it's not it's not difficult to do keto Especially for someone like ben who can live off of like peanuts for 10 days Like all he has to do is just only You know digi yesterday The only thing I ate was a bag of peanuts. There you go. No way. No fucking way. You don't still have any carbs. Do they They have a they have a they do but ben what about your I mean, they do have protein But but but what of your what of your omega-3s? What are your vitamins? I have oh wait I have a jar. I have a jar of fish oil pills somewhere. I'll take it. Ah, perfect I'll eat the entire I'll eat the entire jar as one puck. What was it? Yeah, I'll melt them together What did we name that? Didn't we name that something last episode? It was like the That was the ben c or something No, wait, it was that it was the so ugly. It was the so ugly. Uh, the the log of It was worth it. It was worth it. I don't even regret doing that I recommend in fact, I recommend it Excellent Uh, any I mean that's really it We just wanted to talk about how awesome it was that people were actually sticking with this fit life We got a bunch of just so many pictures and shit people are tweeting me people tweeting the pcp itself We retreated a lot of them So keep tweeting at tpcrasnators with their hashtag pcpfitlife and we'll fucking retweet them We'll we'll we'll start a sensation and save the world from obesity and being gross All the questions are actually relevant to the topic in this episode. The questions are good. They're not bad Okay, they're pretty decent. But before we get to that, we got other shit to do Okay, fine, whatever fucking I'll talk about how we get through it Well, okay, I mean so the next up is it's the pcp theme contest everybody that's still going it's real And last episode there were two entries now that we got like fucking six this time We got a whole bunch of fucking pcp I want to see what the retention weight for the pcp is because I guarantee it's And now on to like 90 percent viewers click off. Well, that's fine. We can we can totally gauge that And if we you know if we know then so be it, but uh, we won't change anything. I don't I don't know why do you think that because like I've always listened. I've never thought the question section was any worse than the show itself Like I always love the question. I agree. I don't see why anyone I mean maybe at the very end when we say like I mean the show is just Random discussion like it's never like a completely on topic or a complete view of the topic the show is just Most of the time the questions are just like oh these questions suck. Oh, here's here's what's your favorite anime? And then all of us grow and Usually just don't answer any of the bad questions and just find the good ones. Isn't that what we usually do personally Yeah, I don't think it's ever had like a real problem Well youtube Well in any case that is dead and irrelevant because it's time to talk about pcp themes now We're all gonna fucking listen them. So get your asses into the pcp themes chat. We're gonna listen to all of them Thank you for sending us a link to twitter. We can't fucking play this with our music box We literally said to make it soundcloud and youtube you have fucked up. I don't know how you did it this bad What made you think that we could like that we were going to watch a video on twitter Who posted videos on twitter for the first one? I guess we'll all just have to hit play at the same time Christ it's just the one from uh from gavin wattkins. This is from yo. Um hydra gavin wattkins That's right. That's right. All right. Here we go. Let's remember everybody tweet us Hashtag pcp very clear. You need to read the part where he says this is an indirect recording of the theme If you like I can give you a direct file. So the sound quality is What oh wait a minute wait a minute if I remember correctly I listened to this earlier and it sounds like it was like a cell phone recording out of the speakers playing That's so stupid. Let's not even listen to this one. Let's not even listen. What a terrible Okay, you know what uh, wait, but okay. Yeah, dude. You got it. You got to put that on soundcloud or youtube or something All right, wait, stop. Stop. What let's think about this for a second. He has a music file A a computer file Which he then decides to record digitally with a microphone And then upload that file. I I actually have a development on this on this on this developing story Because I actually did communicate with this guy and get him to send me a file But here's the thing Here's the thing the file that he sent like in the I gotta I gotta pull up this email that he sent because it was It was fucking fascinating. Um, listen to this listen to this Okay, so he said like hey guys you retweeted my song. That's cool. So listen, okay, sorry So he attached a file to this it says sorry if I accidentally sent you the wrong file I'm in a setup stage for my computer and I haven't set up the sound yet, but I'm pretty sure this is the right file I also listen to this actually Accidentally deleted the one from twitter So I spent a while trying to recreate it as best I could while changing some things Like how many things went wrong in this process like like he made the song in in whatever program Like saved it uploaded it to twitter deleted the master file and all other files Yeah, and the only form that existed was the one on twitter and then it was deleted from twitter It's like that time that digi deleted like every piece of his video So he couldn't recreate it before uh the fucking, uh, you know, I mean the video was Are we gonna listen to it? Are we gonna listen to it? Well, okay, I am downloading an aif file that was attached to it right now No, no upload it to soundcloud or youtube. We have to be strict Or we're gonna get people sending it on fucking crazy shit. We're gonna get people on mega upload Okay, I I can hear sound from this, but no one else can hear it put me So you got to fix this buddy. You got to put this on on twitter or Fucking whatever. I apologize because I told him just to send it to us Now you got to put it on youtube or soundcloud or something uh the end All right. Now we're gonna now we're gonna play fucking one by eric seabass. Uh, it's called crazy Um, okay, that was pretty dope. I think that was really cool. It's pretty dope. I don't but it's not very This could be a jingle for literally anything It was a little long I think it was a little redundant at the end for a for a theme song for like the opening of this thing This is an entirely misguided section. And yeah, like I don't understand the like, okay No one is going like like all the ones that we've had so far are not like PCP matching tonally stylistically or anything. That's true. We should have just made our own fucking theme song Like we already who's gonna fucking do that who's gonna do that already have one Yeah Like why not just use the one we already have yeah, because you fucking cowards were saying how you didn't think it matched the tone Using it as an opening was a bad idea. It was perfectly fine as the ending. It just doesn't make sense as an opening song Well, that's the point. We're looking for an opening. We decided we didn't want to do the intros So I took it upon myself to put a clip of the theme song at the beginning And did you found it offensive that it would play the song at the beginning of the podcast? Yeah, well, I will say at no point was my encouragement that we create a new intro song I don't like the idea of an intro song on a podcast like I mean it works out for you my friend If it's super yeah, just like the worst podcast in the world the dick show. Thank god. They don't have an opening song Okay, but their opening song is like Not only is it extremely unique But like the fact that he yells yeah over it as it's fading out It's like whoa, so you're telling me there's like a good way to do an opening song No way, but this is not the way to do that. If only if only we could like have some sort of competition to like do that I should get residuals every time you use that. Oh, there he is. Oh my god Your your residuals were getting paid for being on episodes. Jesse your residuals. I'm owed money for my song Jesse if you don't want us to edit you're out. You're gonna have to sync with us at the end Yo, anyway to get off the lofty philosophical abstraction. Remember the last time Davoo tried to kick Jesse from the pcp episode To make it funny. I'm leaving Wait, please get us your audio. We need it Yeah, that'd be good That'd be helpful. All right. Uh, listen next song Okay, what what do people want like like what kind of uh, right? Let's give them some like like what do we want out of this? Yeah, no, I am Constructive criticism I would like some funny like like a couple of funny joke lyric lines That like are about the no, no No, I agree. I agree what I would want. Thanks. I want no lyric Everyone else is I like having a unique opening on every video. Why are we not doing that anymore? Okay, did you okay? That was voted down by these people the reason why we stopped doing it is because the the intros were shit Like for the past like 30 episodes of intros it was just like, okay google search the word of what the episode is Okay, well then let's not do a shitty low-effort version and just do the good ones we used to do then Because no one will do that these editors don't want to do that They don't want you guys make a shitload of money editing this thing I don't care what you want to do make the show good Look when when the intros were forced when they were obligatory they were uninspired and bad That's what happened. All right. Luckily we found a solution a pcp theme contest to make a good theme song Like here we are doing the the solution like let's just keep going shall we here's the fucking next one by No, no, I'm not done talking about this one guys. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. God. I have to pee so All right, dude. I want to talk about the one I want to talk about the one you already listened to the one we already listened to Uh, not into generic rock, you know guitar shredding even if it's good shredding Playing whatever the fuck word I'm supposed to use even if it's well mixed. I'm glad it sounds professional I know most podcasts. They think that that's the standard like just basically have Basic instrumentation and it's well mixed. I will I want something like more particular and like original I already have zero punctuation in my life I played I watched lots of the other escapist shows and I also listened to the biggest problem I'm completely full of Component guitar playing as okay, but listen to this though. I just want everyone to know This is an important fact you should know no one here has veto power So if like if everybody likes to accept one person it could definitely be used so like we're just this is a group decision It's a democratic craft if everyone wants to have bad taste and pick a bad song Right me and digi are both against generic guitar pieces. So that last one was No for me because it literally sounds like every other podcast intro like and it was not distinctive If there's no melody that's gonna stick in your head. Like I mean, I definitely want something more distinct I do like like like strong melodic Like like easily chordable things that you could like burst in the song all the time You're like almost like if you had like a cool outro like, you know, I'm supposed to Is a great outro This is not about an outro. This is about an intro. We shouldn't have as an opening is what I'm saying We shouldn't have an opening. The show should not have an opening. It should either just start or have an I've literally been I've literally been against this. I've literally been against this since the beginning of this idea That is fucking bullshit. That is fucking bullshit. You never say shit at the very beginning of this being an idea I said, I will not be a part of this. I will I will like go along the group But I have not been I have not been on board. I didn't mean that may be true, but I don't believe it Let me put it this way I'm somewhere in the middle on this I'm willing. I'm I'm more cooperative with this idea. I'm optimistic to see what they can come up with, but Here's what's said at the beginning. If they're all bad, we just won't use it I am prepared to say no to all of them because I know making a good song is damn near impossible Even for highly talented individuals. No no offense. Like it's really hard to do Do we want to see if one of these guys somehow knocked out of the park? It's my dank lord. It's my dank lord. Here we go. He'll like hello Whoa, I actually like this one a lot Okay, I don't I don't want this for the intro, but I do want Wait If you leave a comment before the video and please kill yourself There is no such thing as objective criticism. Yeah Yeah, I want to know why Anime is a Japanese club field What will we see? Oh, no In Dictionary If you want to make your cries consciousness high, then you should try Yeah Now they're here to fight for me and you The best guy ever She has weaponized thickness It's nothing but trash I love those tits so much. He's that home stuck fuck with that home stuck suck Life the cage and death All right, I have some thoughts. I have some thoughts. Okay. Well, it's great and it's funny. That was the best one by far so far Okay, it's really long I kind of think Okay, we can shrink it. We could shrink it for our opening. We could edit it down, you know, it's always possible I'm not saying we necessarily need to go. Okay. I don't know if I'll love the the pcp Peace. I don't know if that's gonna be fresh forever I think that the problem is the song does not have the best production quality and it is really funny as a joke song That we play on the podcast, but it would I don't know if it has staying I meant I meant just now we have already exhausted the full breadth of that joke Yeah Like I can't give it like an emphatic like I want to hear that to intro every episode thumbs up As I said in the last time we did the contest. I don't know if this count. Okay I'm not terribly into the song where the lyrics are all a bunch of references to the shit. Like I don't I don't know I am So do you want it to be pcp themed or do you want it not pcp themed? Like generic or something when I when I say when we talk about having a theme that fits The tone of the show or like fits the show. I don't mean one that makes references to the show I mean it doesn't have to do that. It's really funny that I'm having this conversation because like me and munchy just recently like constructed a perfect intro for Our show and I'm just like why don't we just do the same thing we did there which is just like what show is that What are you talking about the one for uh Stealing your dad's the stealing your dad's opening like oh, yeah It's like 20 seconds a fun rap song with some goofy lyrics that explain the point in brief and like And just like it's basically the same thing as the isma one like To me that's like yeah, if you were gonna do an intro it should just be like 20 seconds and explains the point of the podcast In a funny way the the intro for stealing your dad is beautiful And it will be out in the next episode that will be live so get hyped for that shit everyone Cool. Uh, I mean that seems like reasonable advice. I want it to be like relatively short and punchy Short and punchy and and and then I has a strong melody and be about the pcp But also still like no matter what I literally get the list guys got heart though. I get a fucking heart I love how smile you could tell he was smiling during the whole recording like a big giant autism smile if you know what I mean, but like I do want to say Yeah, I will always be I will always be more likely to give the thumbs up to a song that doesn't have lyrics Versed one that does just because again podcast intro. I do think 20 seconds is about right All right, well moving on by mostly midi This is a video on youtube And he did the thing that we said not to and like had like a video in the background It just was a bunch of like images. I just want to I just want to say about the last song Too late Okay This is just literally the final fantasy intro is it like it's similar It's pretty chill. It's pretty chill It's not us though It's a little too chill. It's a little too chill. It does sound like it was made on like the chiptune again Again these people have put in hours to like do this like futile song content Is it now when they get on all we do is your shit on them? You're like, oh, no No, we don't want to do it. Listen. Listen. That was nice. That was nice. But again It was generic Think of it this way No, none of these people could have even spent more than like a week or two on this, right? Like we only announced the contest so long ago. So it's not like we're burning down their fucking masterpieces Well, all right, they're entering a contest and here they are I release songs better than this every day. All right, so I'm gonna be a marshal on these people If I could make the intro for the show myself There's no reason we need one It's not it's not hype because because because the reason we didn't like the outro song for the intro was that it wasn't hype Exactly. I think it's just like a singly possible Are we not I don't know this for a fact, but I'm sure that there's some people out there who are working on a song Anyway, who are just like, I don't know. Let's fucking enter this I know that's what that's what the first one and this one feel like Yeah, I mean I can't prove it and maybe I'm wrong, but it could have been the case They just made a song anyway. Like that's pretty good I would say this intro is closer than the ones I've heard so far But not in a good way if that makes any sense like uh, I think this is it at least It at least feels like ah sitting down to hear people talk, but it is too it is we do want one It's more energetic. So I guess that is another thing It's like we're sort of using these as the initial wave of pawns to churn through to then analyze like, okay Here's what you did wrong Here's what you did wrong and as we analyze and destroy these people's lives and dreams We're like understanding slowly. Well, let me actually work. We're getting more and more specific each time So that's how you become like a content creator. You just make shit that sucks And then you just figure out what you did wrong and then you fix it as you go So whatever. All right, let's go to the next one. What's the next one? This is by alex cb. Oh I know that guy Yeah Way Yeah We should play this in one of our funerals Yeah Like the rotation of ending things honestly, yeah, I always have the same one If you want to like you want to have right now Contest yes Hey, that was great. Okay. Yeah, it's a terrible theme It's yeah, it's terrible That's like, yeah, that's like it's not hype and it's also very long That's like when you're watching when you're watching the anime when you're watching a season of an anime And then like one of the episodes has like a really sad like part of the narrative ending And it does a different ending theme song for that episode. Oh, yeah, you know, you know, that's what that one is That's good. Okay. Let's clear fire real quick here. Do we want to be hype or just upbeat? We want to be happy like I don't know I just want it to sound like it would be what you want to hear before a pcp podcast like that I won't know it until I hear it. That's what's important to be fair. Yeah, this isn't this is this is not We could just have like a happy version of the normal song I think we could clearly say that that song did not suit the tone of right Yeah, we can all tell that Think about the way that we open our show for any dickheads who think about how dick always opens the show And how his theme plays into that real well, right? That's good So think about how we start our show Which is usually with Nate like busting and saying the shit or munchy, you know And then we introduce each and each and every one of us and like what's the right mood you want to be in? I mean, traditionally with the intros I would just have them fade. Whatever song is playing under Nate's intro Yeah, I mean that's the right thing to do And I mean like I don't know like if we're struck with like some great song And we just like think that like oh if we just do something slightly different as an opening We can like work that like hey, man, it's all I'm hoping to experiment and do all kinds of crazy shit here All right, let's go through these things. It's fucking we're like two and a half hours Next one is by Groundless slash a garbage burner. Now this is PCP punk rock anarchy Good song People screaming over it Oh it's soft already I was gonna sing it. I really liked it so much not for the PCP necessarily, but I liked it a lot I can't I find it hard. Okay. I think tonally it was about right But I find I can't I don't know if I could sign off on a theme song That is like that could be the opening to to any podcast. Yeah, I generally agree I just since we're doing a contest. I'm shooting for the stars frankly, you know And uh, that that's it. That's it for this wait one more. There's another one. No, we already played it last episode. We already played it last episode I'll have to listen later I didn't even know this contest was happening until I came into this episode and that's why you know That's why that's why we voted you out of the pcp Digi we we were waiting to tell you Uh, well, that was good. All right Just take that feedback listen that whole section and for what you can from it and work on it everybody Do we I mean should we have people in the comments like comment on like What you what you think about this feel free, but I don't care what they think Yeah, okay That's fair None of us know what we want and some of us don't even want I know exactly what I want I want no thieve song. I want individual intros on every episode. We can't very well do that After we've done this contest or it'll be embarrassing What I suggested at first and I was voted down so frankly shut the fuck up and get on board with the programs because that's what's happening I'm in this now. We're contractually obligated to carry this contest out. I'm interested. I'm invested now I like this and I want to keep doing it. This is great. I don't mind. I mean I think it's I mean I think getting all these submissions is great. Like there you go Dan clinton dan clinton alexis Jesse is suggesting that he says that because our criteria are all massively contradictory. We should just let the fans vote That's the exact that's the no, absolutely not. Fuck the fan I'm at least curious of their input like they're okay. I want oh, yeah, I want to hear their input But I'm not gonna vote on whether or not they think we should have a theme song Okay, I might ignore them because I personally like when we started putting the the opening on the the show Like I didn't know at first because I wasn't listening back to the shows and I had missed a bunch of episodes But may listens to all of them and she was like, yeah, I skip it every time It's a huge pain in the ass So I was like, well, obviously everyone's doing that because nobody wants to hear the song for the thousandth time For 30 whole seconds at the start of the episode. So like unless it's insanely short That was like one. Oh Yeah, that happened like one time Yeah, that happened one time. It was enough. It was the one time. I saw it and I was like, this is horrifying Yeah, okay. Yeah, it was too long. We fixed it. Jesus. All right. Look guys. This is what's happening. It's over We're doing a PCB theme. There's no debate now. We are in it. There's no challenging this. Look if we decide Yeah, no, this is great. Get excited. Get happy This is this is trumps america. This is trumps america Debate this because I like I like getting the I really like these songs. I really like that they're being made And so I like I like the contest for that reason But now it's so fraught. It's so fraught Okay, so the thing is, you know, we keep saying all these criteria But speaking only for myself if you just make a great song great song It makes me hype just because it's great You might you might be able to get thumbs up for me Just being like, you know what? Maybe this doesn't fit my preconceived notions of what the tones the show's tones should be But the song is great on its own makes me hyped on its own I really like the second one that you gotta do. You gotta get the bayblade animated tv Theme you gotta change the thing that they say at the end they say let's bayblade. You gotta change that to pcp And that's what you gotta do. That's what I'll get my vote in the general election Vote for that Yeah I wanted to be uh acapella of ocarina of time songs That's the pcb intro All right, let's go home. Let's go home. Let's we all right. Let's go to let's go to questions Oh god no, it never ends. Let the show be over. Can we No, we have to we have to this is the segment. What are these? What are all these weird like why are we obligating ourselves to random things? We've said we're going to do all the time like Can we not make decisions that change and evolve based on the situation that is obviously in front of us that like When things are bad don't let them keep being bad You know, we told people that we were going to read questions and people have asked questions. Yeah, but do they even really care? Look, look, we can bust through the questions thing in like three minutes We we okay. We this is a this is a simple a simple issue like when when the episode goes long We do less questions. So let's just do less questions. There's plenty of them here. All right. Here it is Look, look here's a question. Here's the pity question. All right. Just pick out some gents. Here it is Here it is. This is the one all right. This is a question that is answered by another question in this thing All right. Here it is. This is from at biscuit meep. Are there any episodes of the pcp that you wish were never made? And there's another question from iclone that says can you do another show similar to the monster episode? It was everyone's favorite. There's the joke everybody monsters to literally went. That's what I want you Immediately great question next question. There it is. That's that's the pity questions done On to the bonus lounge. What do they got? What do they got? Um, someone just says driving is gay. No question mark All right. Let's talk about that. This is not the question I mean that is there anything that you did in your childhood that really makes you cringe now Stupid and childhoods are great. And if you did something stupid as a kid, it's not like, oh my god I'm fucking so stupid. It's just like wow you did something wrong. Well, everyone's done something wrong. Let's do it I remember jimmy newtide. He said one cares not to acknowledge the mistakes of one's youth Johnny newtron joseph said god of blast. Do we listen to him? Do we blast off? Do we fucking have a holocaust every day of our life? Do we do g-hodge and because johnny newtron wants us to? No, we live our own lives, dude. We're autonomous. We're not icis bombers like you And johnny newtron Feeling the emotion of cringe and thinking that it's a bad thing is the big that's the first mistake That's the first like clue that you're not mature That's that you think cringe is bad. That's not true Yeah I cringe cringe goes like like chibi bakas Literally, we are bringing chibi back mean hippo are in the process of reviving chibi. This is the point of chibi bakas That's okay. Next question. I'm looking forward to drawing like yowie is not cool You should be proud of what you've done Actually, I have an answer to that question next question next question Next question next question. How much rape bro question mark How much rape bro? Yeah Next question All of these are just terrible This is the problem with this is that when you tell people the topics sometimes they're all like the same question and suck What was your favorite anime as a child? There you go. That's the same question, but the child bridge. Yeah, exactly. That's what i'm saying. Uh, excellent Excellent. Shit. Wait. Was that a real question or was that you that was a real question Wait, who asked that? Who asked that? Uh, someone says, what were your dreams and ambitions like as we lads? Do you have anything kind of your ambition? Oh, it was it was are you guy? What when you were kid was your favorite anime? Oh my dream and ambition as a kid was to make a Fucking Manga because I liked dragon ball. I had I had one volume of dragon ball Uh, dragon just dragon ball in them in the library and I would read it and reread it over and over again I'd be like I want to do this Right and I dream veterinarian as I already said in the episode My dream as a little kid was to trick a digi bro into talking to me Whoa, dude same What what a mistake when I was young I wanted to be really ripped That was my as a result of watching dragon ball z and later Uh, I just wanted to be an anime character. I didn't really care which one My dream was just to be some sort of artist professionally. So yeah My dream was to wait two million dollars and it's still my dream right now We have fan art too. We have a fan art section god. No the fan art. It'll just be on screen. Here's all of it right now Here's all of it. Yeah, here we go question done time for the time for the fan art Which we were supposed to before question, but who gives a shit. All right, look at all this amazing fan. Look at this first one Hey, thanks. Uh, parron unit zero one. The coolie drawing of me great. Whatever adam desu picture nate great Wait, no, no, this one's good. This one's actually good. I mean, I mean, I feel like I feel like the The the the spites that we're like spitting right now at just like people's like hard work trying to make us It's not It's not people that worked really hard to express their sincere admiration of us. Fuck you Yo, this one and Nate was good. It's what it looks. I like City with his fucking all of his hair bulging out and everything All right, let's get to that. So dinosaur spinach dino spin it back start for this is ethan Said in chat. Uh, wow. Okay, okay Actually like complex backstory here Usually for every like questions, uh, we like announced we're doing questions and then at the end and Nate will say Oh, like we're done. We're done doing questions now. And so everyone will be like, okay, bye But last time he didn't say we're done doing questions. And so for the past week I've been occasionally going to chat and saying guys, we're still going. We need more questions So I've been doing that for like the past week and then eventually I was in a call with ethan and he said like Like he asked a question and he said hey much How do I try my best without him knowing and then I said this by stuffing a bar of soap in your mouth and walking a football filled away Also, I'll be kicking you double that son. And then someone's just looking munchy here. Gee wait Wait, wait going back going back to the urban dictionary one. Yeah, look at the way that it's shaded Look at the way that shadows were it's baffling. Uh, like the shading technique employed here is baffling I don't think this person is an expert in shading Well, it's weird because like he did it right in certain places But then he like like look at the folds on your robe. Like that makes sense like down at the bottom Yeah, but then over it. There's just these big thick fucking bars Roll around on a fucking big grill. Those are anime blush lines is what those are. Yeah, we were all grilled. Yeah, we were all we were all grilled I think the point of that is that the light is at his back So he was trying to make it like he was darker in the front. Oh, no, I get I get what he was going for He just put his technique as bizarre is all I'm saying Look at look at Ben's face on the bottom left there. Look at this. Just like who cares about this fan are of a lot of us How about this fan are of only me I mean this one's like lane slimes that one down there No, we're talking about dynasties I like that me and nade are directly in front of each other like we're nemeses Oh, that's true. Everyone else is just observing. Um, I look what I'm the only one not making a comment I'm just giving a death stare. It's the angel and the demon, you know, nade and mage. That's how it is I'm a huge dick in this a huge dick. Lots of cubes. Lots of my my manhood Monchi, what was the bd for though? I have no I have no I'm assuming big dick. I'm assuming big dick. I assumed big dick as well I know this was like in the chat because I saw where this was it was for a specific reason that bd was there But I can't fucking remember daddy Yeah, all right. Well, whatever then we have another one just of me because I'm just such I'm just like a photogenic person that everyone just wants to draw me over. This is my lines line This is me eating my my ice cream soup Ice cream soup. There it is. I love ice cream soup. That's my favorite soup. I would eat it You fucking animals. Yeah, uh, thank you.

I look like my ice cream soup is different from munchies ice cream soup Probably just What is your ice cream soup? Hey, it's just literally melted ice cream. I like melting unpopular opinion I I really like the expression on this drawing of me by the way. Yeah It's cute. It's big ice. Let me let me let me make a radical proposal. Let me make a um a modest proposal if I may. Um, maybe Art of one of us doesn't count The what if you get art of you a lot and you like it a lot and you want to talk about it What? Uh, I I hear what you're saying and there's there's definitely some logic to that There's some logic like like this is not like this is this first one is nate fan art And this second the last one is munchie fan art. This is not pcp fan art, but like oh and same with digi Maybe we just need to use the smell test if it seems pcp related or not I mean Haven't been given the chance to use the smell test most of these would not Let me say what the the munchies one aren't they related to what he said or did related to the pcp They're not just munchie Like the digi one I would argue. I guess it's just digi fanner, but the rest is pcp related Okay, all right, then you got the We should smell test these before all right. All right. Here we go. This is from Carrebel.
