00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,600
HAAAAAAAPPPPEEEE 5th of July! I'm not recording on 4th of July, are you fucking nuts?

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,000
I have family over, also I slept for 13 hours, don't ask.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
I- Welcome back to the Meatweed Podcast, where I'm still a little hazy.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
I remember clearly, 4th of July I woke up after a 13 hour sleep, and there's just explosions everywhere.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,500
What'd you guys- ugh, what'd you guys do?

6
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:28,500
Anyway, um, happy 4th of July, um, I know it's coming out very late, but I mean,

7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:33,000
what do you expect? It's the Meatweed Podcast, we come out every Friday, not every day, okay?

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaking of which, Morbid Universe, the next episode is currently being worked on.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
I do have some of you people that I'm gonna email and I'm gonna ask for your opinions on stuff, like a recorded thing.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And I have a few people in mind, and I do need you for that.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,500
It's gonna be like a 2 hour long episode, a really long one, okay? It's gonna take a while.

12
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:55,000
Unlike this one, which is done every- every day, actually. A little bit of recording every day.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,500
Um, but, you know, so far it's mostly research that I've been doing on that.

14
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,500
Anyway, aside from that pod- um, that podcast, we now have this new social media website,

15
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:08,000
and I gotta put it on my, um, I gotta put it on my link tree, I actually haven't done that yet.

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
We now have a Threads account. I literally just made it before recording the episode.

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And it's just my Instagram handle, it's just the same thing.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
But, you know, they're- they're both there, it's basically a bootleg Twitter.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,500
Um, but I guess people were so tired of Twitter that they decided to make another one.

20
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,000
And I guess Meta hopped on it too. From what I'm seeing, this is Facebook's comeback.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Because, honestly, honest to God, they probably need it.

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
After Mark Zuckerberg lost billions on Meta, he's now- he- he got a golden opportunity right here.

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,500
He's like, hey, Twitter's dying there, alright, let's do something with it.

24
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:46,500
Hey, honestly, credit where credit is due, that was a fucking 10 out of 10, 100,000 IQ move.

25
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,000
Anyway, let's get into the episode. Alright.

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:02:06,000
["The Threads of the Sunset"]

27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Look, I'm gonna address something right away.

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I know you guys have seen that my YouTube has recently been popping off, just exploding,

29
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
with all these full episodes of the podcast, along with the photo.

30
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Look, you don't have to watch every single one of them, okay?

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
I'm just saying right now, I'm putting them on YouTube into a big playlist.

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,500
So you can watch it from- the first episode being, um, when I first used this microphone,

33
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,000
so when my face is in the cake. That's gonna be the first one.

34
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And everything else after that, I'm- there's quite a bit, okay?

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
There's gonna be quite a lot of changes there.

36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Anyway, I was gonna mention something about the Miranda Sings thing,

37
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
but I feel like people gave her way too much attention.

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
However, let's- let's put something out there right now.

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,500
It's been long enough for me to not talk about it, because it's not trending anymore.

40
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,000
Who cares? Miranda Sings, I don't give a fuck. I never cared about her.

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
I never watched her content. I thought she was annoying.

42
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Admittedly, some of her old videos I did like, it's just a shame that that he- that keeps happening, you know?

43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
It's the whole groomer accusations, which a lot of big YouTubers have that,

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,500
and I guess it's specifically the ones that target children, which, you know, makes sense,

45
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:14,000
because a lot of kids are watching them anyway.

46
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
It's disturbing that it's a trend that I keep seeing throughout my youth, throughout my adulthood.

47
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I've seen it, you know, just over and over again.

48
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:32,000
It's disturbing what someone can do, given enough fame and- and money and resources, the opportunity to do it, you know?

49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,500
And I- I hate that. I really fucking hate that.

50
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:39,500
That's why I focus my audience, you know, to be all adults, because, let's face it,

51
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:43,000
it'd be weird if I made content for kids, because I'm a real serious guy, okay?

52
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,500
I mean, I can be funny every now and then, but it's mostly like fart humor and stuff like that.

53
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:52,000
Fart humor? What the fuck? Toilet humor. Adult humor. Stuff like that. That's my thing, okay?

54
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,500
I'm not gonna sit here and jingle keys for a little kid. I'm not gonna fucking do that, okay?

55
00:03:56,500 --> 00:04:02,000
Not unless that kid was mine, okay? That's right, I'm thinking of kids. I got kids on the mind.

56
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,500
That's how, um, that's how good my relationship is going.

57
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:13,500
By the way, last year, this day, was when we made it official, so it's now more than a full year.

58
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,000
And I'm just- I don't know, I'm just- I've had that in my mind and I'm just- you can hear it. I'm smiling right now.

59
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,500
Hi babe, I love you. I know she's listening.

60
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:26,000
Ah, it's- it's a good thing that I'm starting off with a smile, because we're going downhill fast.

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,500
Um, Mark Zuckerberg recently posted a photo of him and his family, right?

62
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:36,000
On his platform, okay? It's his platform, he owns it. And he censored his kid's faces.

63
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I don't know how to feel about that, because if the man who created this website, Instagram in this case,

64
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
or not created, he just got it, you know? He didn't create it. He fucking bought it.

65
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
If the man who bought this thing doesn't even trust the website with photos of his kid's face,

66
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000
then why should we, you know? Why should we trust our pictures, you know, with this guy?

67
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,500
That's why I don't post many selfies. I also don't post a lot of pictures of me and my friends, family, girlfriend.

68
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:09,000
I mean, I just- on the Instagram that I have, I don't post it, because it's nobody's business, you know?

69
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
If I had a social media platform, which I do, but it's only for the podcast, then yeah, maybe I would.

70
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
But the truth is, I just don't trust any of them anymore.

71
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,500
Because it's like, the moment you show someone's face, it's like, oh hey, he's associated with them,

72
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,500
let's go find their social media. It's just fucking disturbing, man.

73
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:30,000
Like, it is incredibly easy to stalk someone, which is why I removed a lot of stuff from my podcast thing.

74
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
It's like, you guys have seen my face, good for you. You don't need to keep looking for me, okay?

75
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000
I've seen some people who- ah, okay. Admittedly, I gotta talk about this.

76
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
On my Instagram stories, there are specific people who never interact with me in any way, right?

77
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,500
Not a single word comes from their mouth. There's no DMs. They don't like any of my photos.

78
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,000
But if I post stories, they will browse that shit for eternity.

79
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,500
I don't know who you people are, okay? All your stuff is set to private, you don't follow me, and you're just watching.

80
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:05,500
It's been like this for months. Not even months, it's been years now. And it's the same people.

81
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:12,500
I'm starting to think someone's stalking me, and if they are, well, I've got someone to leave me alone.

82
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:18,500
But at the same time, don't you have something better to do with your time? You know, like, leave me the fuck alone.

83
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,500
At least in this case, you wanna watch the podcast, go right ahead.

84
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:29,500
I wanna mention something, too. Social media in every regard. I know I mentioned it earlier with Instagram, but the thing is,

85
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:33,500
it seems like everything has just gone to shit when it comes to social media.

86
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:38,500
Number one being that people are genuinely saying, why doesn't Google Plus make a return?

87
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:45,000
Right now, it would be fine, because Reddit is falling apart, Twitter is falling apart, Instagram is falling apart,

88
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
and now Instagram is trying to make another thing, which, you know, good for them.

89
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,000
But every social media has a massive fucking issue right now. I don't know what it is, maybe the tides are finally turning,

90
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,500
and we're gonna go outside for once, but you know, let's just wait the tide out and see what happens.

91
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:05,000
Because the thing is, this is nothing new. Shit like this happens all the time, okay?

92
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,000
If you guys remember, some years ago, I believe early 2000s, there was the Tumblr exodus, which Tumblr just became far, far worse.

93
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,500
Here's the thing, it used to be the hub for adult sex workers to share their things, lewd art, all kinds of stuff that has to do with, you know, 18 plus,

94
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:27,500
but they were able to share it there. They were able to get commissions, they were able to make money on this website,

95
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:36,500
they were able to do whatever they wanted, and it was liberating for the longest time, until Tumblr just started falling apart, really.

96
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:45,500
And I believe they were bought by Verizon, which ruined everything. If you don't know, then there's a whole bag of enchiladas to unpack there.

97
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:53,000
There's quite a lot, okay? Here's how I know. I was part of it. I was actually in Tumblr as it was falling apart.

98
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The good thing is, I didn't have any financial incentive with Tumblr. I didn't have any art that I was selling.

99
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Well, I was, but no one bought it. But it wasn't adult stuff, so I'm actually, I think my art's still there.

100
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,500
The thing is, I deleted it because it's from an old Yahoo email, so I'm not gonna use that.

101
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:17,500
And interestingly enough, when I look back at my old Tumblr, I really don't want to go back there, because it's just...

102
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:25,000
Teen angst. Very, very angsty. Me fighting people for no reason, shit like that. It was just common, more common back then.

103
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,500
Nowadays, I don't waste my time with such frivolous bullshit, because I gotta wake up early in the morning, get to work.

104
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:36,000
That's what I do. I make the money. At least now I do. I mean, I had like almost a month off.

105
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000
But, you know, it gave me more time to focus on passion projects. Oh my god, my fucking neighbor's dog keeps barking.

106
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Yeah, look, that dog's not gonna stop barking. I'm glad the mic doesn't pick it up, but for those who have like really good headphones, I'm sorry.

107
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Weirdly enough, there's a shit ton of sounds right now. Like...

108
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Oh, you know what? That reminds me, okay, there's a bunch of things that I gotta talk about. One of them is this.

109
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,500
Right now, I hear a smoke alarm going off, and I can't tell if it's really there or not. Maybe it's an auditory hallucination. I only hear it when I'm in the studio.

110
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:15,500
Another is the dog barking. That one's very obvious. There is one thing, okay? I don't know where the fuck it is. And it's actually a little disturbing.

111
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:27,000
I... have been listening... Well, I'll open my bathroom door, and I'll have the window open. And from a distance, I swear to god, I am the only one who can hear this.

112
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,500
I can hear the Andy Griffith Show theme. I don't know a single person who's old enough to even remember the show.

113
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:41,500
I had to Google it. I had to look up, Song with Whistling. And what's even creepier for me is there's no audio. It's just...

114
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:46,500
Duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh...

115
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:53,500
But it's just the whistling and the finger snapping. I swear to god, there's no... It's the Andy Griffith Show, like it should be, right?

116
00:09:53,500 --> 00:10:00,000
But it's just that intro over and over again, and it plays like at 8 o'clock every day.

117
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,500
And... Or 8 o'clock? I don't know, random time at night.

118
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:07,500
Basically, whenever I'm all by myself, I'll hear it, and I don't know why the fuck I hear it.

119
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,000
No one in this neighborhood is that old.

120
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Ah, my fucking god. I'm... I just gave myself the chills. I don't want to open my bathroom door, because I swear to god I'm gonna fucking hear it.

121
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,500
I think I do, actually.

122
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:24,000
Actually, the dog barking is drowning it out, so I'm not that bothered by it. It is what it is.

123
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,500
I could finally hear my dogs in the mic, so I had to do something about it.

124
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:32,500
I just went out there, it turns out there was a... That's embarrassing.

125
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:40,000
There's a fucking pigeon stuck somewhere out there. I fucking got it, but still.

126
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,500
And if I hear barking again, I'm running out there, like, leave him the fuck alone, okay?

127
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:49,500
It's this bird that my brother is nursing back to health. You know, good for him.

128
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:56,000
He saw the bird hurt, he didn't want the dogs to get it, so he put him somewhere, and he's giving him food, water, making sure everything's fine.

129
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,500
Good for him, I like that.

130
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:02,000
Someone who respects animals, how could you hate him? You know what I mean? I love that.

131
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,500
Look, I... I want to talk about something, given the nature of what today means to me, right?

132
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:11,000
July 4th, yeah, America Freedom, awesome, I love that.

133
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,500
July 5th, on the other hand, is a very special day for me.

134
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:19,500
Look, I... This is advice for men and women who are in a relationship.

135
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:23,500
If you think you've found the one, don't hesitate.

136
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:33,500
Just start a scrapbook with pictures, and honestly, it's... It'll mean the world to them, men or women.

137
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:38,000
If you give them the photo book, you know, with like, both of you in there, right?

138
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,500
And my girlfriend did that, and I've just been looking through it with the biggest smile on my face.

139
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:49,500
Because it's today, I mean... I... I'm in a good mood, can you tell? I'm in a really good mood.

140
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:56,000
I fucking hate when I see a picture and it just... It catches me off guard, like, I'm just laughing again, right?

141
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,500
I've done this thing now, where I just go on memes, like online, and I'll just share them with my girlfriend,

142
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:07,500
and I'll find whatever I think makes her laugh, but also something that's in my weird, obscure area,

143
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:11,500
you know? Because, like, I gotta be myself too, you know? And I like weird memes.

144
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:15,500
I like very weird, funny memes, but they're still weird nonetheless, you know what I mean?

145
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:19,500
So, I'll share them with her, and I just... I know which ones are gonna make her laugh.

146
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:25,000
It's just such a fun feeling. But one of them... I just opened Instagram right now, and I'm fucking laughing at it right now.

147
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
It's such a simple concept, and I fucking... I fuck with it. It's funny.

148
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
There's, um... Oh, boy.

149
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Okay, you know lifeguards, how they have that really high chair?

150
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:44,000
It's just... It's just this lifeguard dining set. It's two really high chairs, and one big ass table.

151
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
That's all it is.

152
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000
I love that.

153
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,500
Hey, um, whoever stole my beats, can you give them back?

154
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:57,500
You know, there comes a time in life where you reach an age where you start realizing,

155
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:02,500
oh, I'm really into shit, and someone the other day pointed out on Twitter that

156
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:12,500
they started thinking, at what point do you stop thinking, you know, I'm a teenager in adult clothing, you know?

157
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:17,000
And I don't know why that struck a chord with me, because the thing is, I always thought,

158
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,500
this is just who we are. I feel like in your teenage years, you kind of become who you are.

159
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:26,500
And in your adult years, you kind of hone and refine it, you know? To a point.

160
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:32,000
The thing is, I was an asshole as a teenager, but as an adult, I hope I'm not one. You know what I mean?

161
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,500
Because you catch more flies with honey, you know what I mean?

162
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:39,500
Sometimes you just gotta be a good person, whether or not it's easy.

163
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:43,500
And I don't know, it's just, the older I get, the more I start thinking,

164
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:48,500
what the fuck was wrong with me back then? And then I realize, at some point I went to therapy,

165
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:50,000
so yeah, that probably helped.

166
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
What the fuck am I talking about today?

167
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,500
There's this fucking TikTok lady who's pissing me off. I don't know who, I don't know,

168
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:58,500
I think she's doing it on purpose, for sure she's doing it on purpose.

169
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:03,000
She's like, she just made this thing, it's like, it's a healthy beef wrap.

170
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,500
What you do is you boil your beef, no seasoning of course, she's British.

171
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:16,000
Um, you rinse it out. You put your cooked meat underneath running tap water.

172
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
And then you put it on cheese that you put on a grill that's non-stick.

173
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
And you burn the ever-loving shit out of it.

174
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,000
You throw the beef on it, and you smear that bitch in mayo, you smother that bitch in mayonnaise.

175
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,500
There's only one problem with this, and that's that I want to try it.

176
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:37,500
I'm not gonna lie, I like mayonnaise, but I should really lay off the fucking sauce.

177
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:41,500
I really, really should. I add the shit to everything, it's kind of annoying.

178
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:44,500
QP Mayo specifically, that one slaps, okay?

179
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:49,500
QP Mayo is, to me, what jawbreakers are to Ed and Nettie.

180
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:54,500
And if you guys don't know who Ed and Nettie are, you're probably too young to be listening.

181
00:14:54,500 --> 00:15:00,500
You know what, actually, if you're too young to know who they are, you're probably my target audience for this next bit.

182
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:05,500
And, you know what, I don't care what your age is, I need to tell you guys something right now.

183
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:10,500
Specifically women. I don't know why it's specifically women, but it's specifically women, okay?

184
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:14,500
So listen the fuck up, because I'm tired of seeing this shit, alright?

185
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:21,500
Okay, there's this trend, I don't know what the fuck it is, I don't know why it exists, okay?

186
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,500
But it's annoying as shit, and I'm tired of seeing it.

187
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:35,500
There's this trend with girls crying, recording themselves, like really fucking bawling their eyes out as hard as they can, and then posting it.

188
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:41,500
Do you ever think how does that make you look? It makes you look mentally unstable, okay?

189
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:49,500
Is it an aesthetic thing? I don't know. If it is, this is some Tumblr era shit, that should have died with the fucking website.

190
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:59,500
You know what? It probably is. Because those people are my age, and you know what, yeah, it's definitely something my fucking age.

191
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:04,500
Look, I'm not a millennial, right? I'm the thing after it.

192
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:11,500
But it's still annoying as shit to see people my age do this cringe shit, because it's like, we're not teenagers anymore, okay?

193
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:14,500
Fuck, I got a car payment and several bills to pay.

194
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,500
And you're over here acting like you're 13 still.

195
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:23,500
You're probably approaching your 30s, okay? I get it, you want to be in touch with your youth, but we're older.

196
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:29,500
Some shit should have been left in the past, and I'm saying this as someone who used to be fucking emo, okay?

197
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,500
I know what I'm talking about. This is some cringe shit.

198
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:39,500
I used to do the whole, I will be the night that I will fall for you, ALBERTA KID!

199
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:42,500
Okay? So yeah, can we leave that in the past, please?

200
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:45,500
Thanks. Okay. Are we Gucci?

201
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:53,500
I have to whisper because some people listen to me while I'm going to sleep, and they're going to fucking wake up to that. I am so sorry.

202
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,500
Actually, I'm not sorry. You had to hear it. You had to hear it, okay?

203
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:02,500
I had to get my point across, and if I do so by yelling, then far better.

204
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:05,500
What does that mean? I don't know.

205
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:09,500
Speaking of getting my point across, I got to tell you guys something we saw in the story the other day.

206
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:12,500
It was also a TikTok. I'm glad I saw it.

207
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:16,500
The thing is, there's this thing, right? Takis. You guys know them, you love them.

208
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:19,500
We've had the original when we went to Mexico. They're actually really good.

209
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:24,500
The ones that are really popular here in the States are the Fuego one. You know the really spicy one?

210
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:29,500
Quote, unquote spicy whatever. It's like hot Cheetos, but different. Got a bit of lime in it.

211
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:33,500
You get it. You know what it is. Okay. I don't know whose bright idea it was.

212
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:37,500
I don't know whose bright idea it was to make an off brand called Pitos.

213
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,500
It's P-E-A-T-O-S, okay?

214
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:46,500
I know they probably meant it in a different way, but you got to understand. Takis is a Mexican brand.

215
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:49,500
A lot of Mexican people eat it, myself included. I love that shit.

216
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:53,500
It's bad as fuck for me, but it's good, and I want to eat more. I have a whole bag inside, actually.

217
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:57,500
Pitos means dick, okay?

218
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:06,500
Look, if you're in the store and you ask me for a bag of Pitos, I'm going to fucking laugh in your face.

219
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,500
Because you just asked me for a bag of dicks.

220
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:14,500
And if that was your intention, then get away from me. I have a girlfriend.

221
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:18,500
But it's funny as hell seeing these tone deaf ass companies, okay?

222
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:24,500
It's just like when Colgate was first branding out, and people thought, hey, can we sell this in Mexico?

223
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:29,500
Colgate in Spanish is colgate, and it sounds really close to cuelgate, which means kill yourself.

224
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:37,500
Oh my God, dude. I love these. I love when these companies like fuck up a bit, you know what I mean?

225
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:41,500
Because I know they don't mean to, but they do.

226
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:45,500
And when they drop the ball that hard, it is noticeable for the rest of the world.

227
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:50,500
It's like, I know you're not trying to be tone deaf. You're really not.

228
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:52,500
But you are, okay?

229
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:57,500
And that goes for a lot of big companies that just don't get out of their fucking bubble, you know what I mean?

230
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:04,500
It's all these billionaire fucking playboys that are like, I have all this money, I need to isolate myself from the rest of the world and only talk to other billionaires.

231
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:08,500
And because of that, you don't know how the fucking world works, okay?

232
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:12,500
In fact, that's one of the reasons we were talking about this, psychologically speaking.

233
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:18,500
Let's go back to that thing, the ship, the fucking submarine that recently blew up with all the billionaires in it.

234
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:22,500
There's a reason people made fun of it instead of felt bad for those people.

235
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:28,500
The difference between this and the submarine, like the submarine and the Titanic, okay?

236
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:36,500
The Titanic had people who were working class joes, people you'd rub shoulders with, people you understood and sympathized with.

237
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:40,500
The submarine was full of billionaires who were throwing money around.

238
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:44,500
The difference is, I've never rubbed shoulders with a billionaire.

239
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:48,500
Have you? If you have, Patreon in the description.

240
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:55,500
But if you haven't, which you know, you're probably a normal person, or the average person, you get it, okay?

241
00:19:55,500 --> 00:20:01,500
It's hard to sympathize with someone who you've never even talked to, never interacted with, you know?

242
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,500
Because they're in a different ballpark, they're leagues above all of us.

243
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:07,500
I assume you're broke like me.

244
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:13,500
I almost forgot. Leah, it's your 22nd birthday! Happy birthday to you!

245
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:15,500
Um...

246
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:18,500
That song is copyrighted, I can't sing it.

247
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:22,500
Happy birthday to you! Anyway, um...

248
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:26,500
That's um... The congregation on turning 22.

249
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:29,500
My assumption is you're already drinking.

250
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:32,500
I don't blame you. Being an adult sucks.

251
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:35,500
But is that too bad? I don't know how to explain it.

252
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:39,500
I hated being a teenager, I hated being an adult, I hated being a kid.

253
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:41,500
When am I fucking happy, you know?

254
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:48,500
I run a podcast where I'm a cynical bastard, but I still have a smile on my face at the end of the day. So what am I?

255
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,500
Maybe the term is non-complacent?

256
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:55,500
See, I guess it's the thing, right? You're never happy because you know you could do better.

257
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:57,500
I guess that's me, okay?

258
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:02,500
That's why I'm running two podcasts, a YouTube channel, a Twi- Oh fuck, I forgot about Twitch.

259
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:06,500
Doesn't matter, Twitch doesn't even um...

260
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:08,500
function properly anyway.

261
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:13,500
Look, there's a lot that happened this week. Fourth of July, big whoop.

262
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,500
Happy Firework Day, okay?

263
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:20,500
Last year, around this time, I was actually in Mexico, if you guys don't remember.

264
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,500
It was a hell of a trip, I loved it.

265
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:27,500
And before that, I was experimenting with Polaroid. That's probably where all of my money went.

266
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:32,500
However, I now have a Polaroid book full of those Polaroids, and a lot of them look sick as fuck.

267
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:38,500
I absolutely love it, and I'm really excited to put more pictures in there with me and my girlfriend, and wherever we go visit.

268
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:41,500
Um... Charlemagne.

269
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:46,500
The fuck does that mean? What am I talking about, okay? I'm trailing off more than usual, you know why?

270
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:48,500
Here's the kicker.

271
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:52,500
Yesterday, okay? Not even yesterday, I think like two days before at this point.

272
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,500
I went to sleep for 13 hours.

273
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:56,500
The night after?

274
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,500
Three.

275
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:02,500
Three fucking hours, and you know what? I'm still running on those three fucking hours.

276
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,500
My batteries are gonna die at any second now.

277
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:09,500
Probably. I'm actually very tired. Okay, fuck, there it is, okay.

278
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:14,500
I'm not gonna end the podcast early, no fucking way am I gonna do that shit.

279
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:19,500
We got like six minutes left? Seven, fuck it.

280
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:23,500
Ah, fuck, I need to talk about something interesting. How about this? How about...

281
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:30,500
How about I talk to you guys about some serial killer statistics because of the fact that I'm...

282
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:35,500
You know what? No, that's for the other podcast. I'm not gonna talk about the dark ass shit. Oh my god, can you imagine?

283
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:40,500
Oh, I guess I should mention why I stopped making TikToks. I just don't like the platform anymore.

284
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,500
I prefer watching, you know what I mean?

285
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:47,500
And I've noticed a lot of other... a lot of other people feel the same way.

286
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,500
Next week, I'm gonna try to have someone on.

287
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:57,500
Logan, buddy of mine, awesome dude, recently got his degree. We're gonna talk about that a bit.

288
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:02,500
And it's good because I feel like we need more information on this podcast.

289
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:06,500
We need to talk about more things in a funny way so it's not boring.

290
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:12,500
But in such a way that you'll be entertained while also learning a new skill or something about the world you didn't know about.

291
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,500
I think that's important, don't you?

292
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,500
And if you don't, why are you on this fucking show?

293
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:25,500
Go do your laundry. Your homework's not done. Go cut the grass. Your mom said to take the chicken out 30 minutes ago.

294
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:27,500
I wonder how many people actually just helped with that.

295
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:31,500
My dumb ass almost forgot. I literally opened Twitter and there was a first thing I had pulled up.

296
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:39,500
Look, there was a video recently. I commented on it saying drugs, but apparently I found out the other day what it really means.

297
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:42,500
There was a lady who freaked out on a plane recently.

298
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:51,500
What did she say? Well, let me tell you. She ran to the front screaming and crying in fear of the person sitting next to her.

299
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:57,500
But then she turned around, pointed and said, I don't care if you believe me or not, but that man is not real.

300
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:06,500
What the fuck did she mean by that? Okay? Back then we had no context, okay? It wasn't even like, okay, what is she on?

301
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:10,500
She was clearly coherent enough to walk to the front of the plane in a straight line, mind you.

302
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:18,500
Point out the person very... she was very sober. It's what I noticed. She wasn't drugged up at all.

303
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,500
It was very clear to everyone. She was sober, okay?

304
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:24,500
We're going to rule out drugs because apparently it wasn't that anyway.

305
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:33,500
She believes in... what's it called? It's like, um... lizard people? Yeah, something like that.

306
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:37,500
Lizard people, some shadow government shit, right? She believes in that shit.

307
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:42,500
So she pointed out that the person next to her was quote unquote not real.

308
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:46,500
And the funny part about the video that gets everyone is everybody turned around to see the guy.

309
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:51,500
And it's just a guy in a hoodie. I feel bad for the guy. No one asked him, you know?

310
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:56,500
Like they just took this woman's side, but... wow, gross.

311
00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:00,500
Okay, no one took this woman's side either. Never mind.

312
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:09,500
It was just a spectacle to behold because imagine you believing so much in a conspiracy theory that you out loud announce it on a plane.

313
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:15,500
Yeah, it's a bit much. Do you believe in lizard people? Let me know in the comments. Send me an email.

314
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:19,500
DM me. You can comment on Spotify now. I don't know if you guys knew that.

315
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:23,500
But yeah, um... that's kind of embarrassing, don't you think?

316
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:26,500
I mean, really think about how everyone in the plane feels.

317
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:31,500
They're going to think you're either on drugs, you're crazy, you're stupid, you're ugly, you know, stuff like that.

318
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:35,500
People are going to say some mean shit. And they did, including myself.

319
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:43,500
I did not know she was not on drugs. Now that I know she is not on drugs, I'm going to redact my statement.

320
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:49,500
Okay? And it's embarrassing because I don't remember what video I actually posted that comment on.

321
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:53,500
And it's hard as fuck for me to find it because there's millions of reuploads.

322
00:25:53,500 --> 00:26:01,500
So if you guys are wondering what that video was about, I know a lot of people saw it because there was a shit ton of people who viewed it, right?

323
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:10,500
If you guys were wondering what happened to that lady on the plane, she believes that the person next to her was a lizard person or a reptilian.

324
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:15,500
That's the word. The word of the day is reptilian. Okay? She thought it was a reptilian.

325
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:21,500
But to this lady, I casually post, I casually ask something, okay?

326
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:26,500
I want you to listen to me. If you are listening, someone show her this fucking podcast, okay?

327
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:29,500
If you know who she is. I want to ask you something.

328
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:37,500
If these people, these lizard people who control the world, really do control the world, why the fuck would they be on a commercial plane?

329
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:41,500
Think about that. They'd probably be business class. They'd probably be balling, you feel me?

330
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:45,500
That's probably what they'd be doing. But you never really know.

331
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:49,500
Maybe they did have some sort of intention. That's for the next podcast for me to talk about.

332
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:53,500
By the next one, I mean Morbid Universe. I'm not going to talk about it on this one.

333
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:57,500
This isn't a podcast for conspiracy theories. Sorry if I hyped you guys up.

334
00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:02,500
But yeah, it might be for the next one. Send in more suggestions, by the way.

335
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:07,500
Oh, my stomach hurts. I've been doing that thing. I have a guilty pleasure, right?

336
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:13,500
I already mentioned in the previous podcast where I go on Tmoo and I look at things that I would want, but don't want to pay too much for.

337
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:19,500
There's a thing, right? I look at Jibbitz online and I realized that the price is a bit high.

338
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:24,500
The thing is, I don't really trust all of Tmoo's items. A lot of it is bootleg and cheap for a reason.

339
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:29,500
Sometimes maybe it won't be glued properly, like this other thing I bought for like 30 cents.

340
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:34,500
Or it'll just fall apart after a few days of use. You never know.

341
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:41,500
The thing is, there's this thing. It's like a hypersonic cleaner. I used it for my glasses. It actually worked.

342
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:44,500
So yeah, fuck yes. That's sick as fuck.

343
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:51,500
But the Jibbitz specifically. If anyone could tell me if the Jibbitz on Tmoo are actually worth it, let me know.

344
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:55,500
Because you could buy a bunch of them. Like a shit ton, right?

345
00:27:55,500 --> 00:28:01,500
And it's like, I think for 10 bucks you get like 250 of them. I don't know what I'm going to do with all these Jibbitz, but I'm going to use them.

346
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:07,500
Because I have a lot of these that my girlfriend gave me and I know I'm going to spoil the surprise here, but I want to give her some back.

347
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:11,500
Some cute ones, you know what I mean? She likes cute things. Because she's cute herself.

348
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:19,500
Man, I'm just wondering about those Jibbitz. Now that I think about it. Got me all curious now.

349
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:22,500
Alright, that's going to do it for this episode of the Meatweed Podcast.

350
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:28,500
Be sure to tune in next week on Friday. And we now have an updated Linktree.

351
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,500
There's some stuff that I left in there, other stuff that I had to take out.

352
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:35,500
And I think I'm going to leave in my band camp? I'm not sure.

353
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:39,500
The thing is, I was debating for a while on deleting my band camp.

354
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:45,500
The thing is, not a lot of people listen to it. In fact, I get emails every month from band camp letting me know,

355
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:49,500
Hey, no one's listening to your shit. Are you sure you're doing okay?

356
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:55,500
It's kind of sad when band camp has to remind you, Hey, no one's listening this week, but maybe next week.

357
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:59,500
Don't worry. Keep your head up, King. Your snapback's falling off.

358
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:07,500
Oh my God. I need root beer.

359
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:10,500
But yeah, that's going to do it for this episode of the Meatweed Podcast.

360
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:14,500
Next week, we're going to try to have Logan on. I'm going to see if I can get him on Saturday or something.

361
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:18,500
I don't know. I don't want to disturb his weekend though. You know what? I'll talk to him about it.

362
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:23,500
We've got to plan some stuff out. Maybe next week, maybe the previous, maybe next next week.

363
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:28,500
You don't know with these things. When it comes to collaborating with people, I miss doing it.

364
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:33,500
It's been a while. It's just last time I was doing it, I was kind of scared that my computer would overheat.

365
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:36,500
And well, let's just see how it goes.

366
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:43,500
Also, Joseph Pfister seems to be doing more collaborations with other creators. I'm really proud of him. Thumbs up.

367
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:49,500
Tim Wilcock seems to be doing a bit of a break. I appreciate that, brother. You're making me laugh still anyway.

368
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:55,500
And whereas Balaki is still doing his shit, honestly, he's still popping off. I'm proud of him.

369
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:58,500
I'm proud of all you guys, actually. Everyone who's collaborated. I love all of you.

370
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:03,500
And I hope to see you guys all in the future. I hope we all succeed. We're going to make it out of the hood.

371
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:26,500
Alright, see you guys next week.
