Good job. - Route 66 is correct. - Thank you. - How'd you get the 75% one wrong? - I had it right.

But it's up there. I know that. - He's it up there. - Yeah, one other US state. - Okay. - I think it's Vermont. Yeah, let's lock in Vermont. - Final answer. - Final answer. - Incorrect. - What does it mean? - It's Maine. - Oh, dammit. - Really? - Yeah, you can't read me. - I can't read you. - You can't read me. - The star-spangled banner. - So you are worse than 75% of Americans. - How's the star-spangled banner start? ♪ Ho, ho, say, can you see ♪ - Is that the star-spangled banner? - Yes, see?

I pledge allegiance. I am pledging allegiance. - I can't be right. - It's the Pledge of Allegiance. - I know, it's the Pledge of Allegiance, but I pledge allegiance. - Oh, it is. I pledge allegiance to the flag. - I've been saying of my entire life. - You don't pledge of allegiance. - You're pledging your allegiance. - That makes sense. - Not pledging of allegiance. - Now I want two our fathers and one Hail Mary please. - That's totally different. - You need that for your confession. - I think I know our father. - I do. - I'm not gonna say it. - We don't pray on this podcast. - No, we can't discredit our religion over there. - We're just not going to. - We're talking about America. - My gosh. - Welcome back to the podcast. Podcast1205. - 205. - 205. - We're in the 200s now. - Almost at 300, which is very exciting. - We are. - One update, if you don't live in New Jersey, it was the most depressing Memorial Day weekend of all time. - I don't think we've had good weather for Memorial Day, the past like seven years. Last year was all right. - Last year was okay. - Yeah, but before that, it's been raining the entire, like ever since COVID, honestly. - I thought it was April showers bring May flowers. - And COVID, 'cause they opened up kind of restaurants, bars and stuff five or six years ago. - Sure. - So we went out and it poured rain the entire weekend. But everyone was still out having fun because it was the weekend to be out if you were in America. - Yeah, it's stunk. Any other updates for the people? - I don't have many updates at all. Now, you're apparently better than me at golf now. - Apparently. - Yeah. - The last three of the five times we played each other. - Yeah. - It's beeping. - Also, we posted a handicap video on the golf account. Make sure golf, if you don't follow, go follow it. - Yes. - Everyone failed besides you. And everyone's been commenting, being like, "Brian's the only one that's serious about his handicap." He's the only one not allowed. - Which is BS. - My handicap's going up because I'm legit, like last year might have been of six, whatever. But there's now many points six. And I admit that. - Nobody thinks that you're a single-digit handicap. - I know, it's crazy. - Because they watch me play horribly. - I'll say, Zach is a single-digit handicap. He just doesn't play well on camera for some reason. But you have, you have. - I have. - But in the short form, a lot of the time, you don't play well. - Well, it's because also like I blow up on a lot of holes, but I'll birdy a lot of holes. - Yes, but if you guys want to see, if you want to see how he actually plays, we have a long-form video coming out on makeshift golf on our YouTube channel, where you play to full 18 holes. So you can go watch that as a four-man scramble. - I want to do a haters series. Like, I want haters to come and play, but like, you know, it's a big logistical thing. - You should. Usually it's the worst players that play against it, but you could play against them that we're still. - Yeah, yeah, I would love to. People think I want to play against other 8.6 handicap. See how I fare. - If you have a 5-handed cap, I don't care, I'll play you. It doesn't matter. - What do you think you big guns are? - Nah, I'm not big guns. I'm just saying about that. - I play against Will the other day. - And what happened? - He gave me a stroke ult. - Ah, okay. - And he beat me by like one hole, I think. - Okay. - That's fine now. - Whatever. - That's all the updates though. - That's all the updates. I'm going to have a vacation next week. That's my other update. - That's the update. - Tarks and cake us. All right. I have a hypothetical question for you to start. All right. - Okay. - Go for it. - It's a year for life, but water is the only liquid you can drink. Would you do it? So my salary is 100 grand. - Yeah. So one full year needs to be completed before the money gets deposited, tax-free. You could quit anytime you want. - Oh, yeah. 100%. What? - How long are you going to go? - Oh, probably my whole life. - Your whole life? And just take 100 grand? - Nah, I'd probably go until I'm financially fine. Like for the rest of my life. I thought you were going to say if you don't do it one year, you lose all your money. - Now, because that's a better hypothetical, I think. But if you're giving me your hypothetical, I would go until I have probably a few million in the bank and a couple million invested. - You can't drink soda. You can't drink beer. You can't drink anything. - That's fine. - Sparkling water, flavored water. - Do I drink sparkling water? - No, you don't. - I don't. - But you know what you do, drink. And we drink beer. - Yeah, drink. I would be more than happy to just drink water for 100 grand a year. I would definitely sign up for that. - You would sign up for that? - Yes. - But your answer was going to be no. - All the social situations. - And what about you for a year? - I feel like you're missing core memories with your friends. - Why? - I don't know. - Yes, say it. - What? - What do you imply? - You need to drink to be happy. - No, that's what you're implying. - That is exactly what you're in product like. - No. - Why am I missing core memories with my friends if I don't feel like they're some nights that people go out. And yes, you can go out sober, I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it. But there are some moments that are better and enhanced by alcohol. - Yeah, I would just pop. (beep) - No. (laughs) - Getting, getting, bleep it out. - There were rules for this. - We're probably gonna get cited now. - No, no, we're fine. - Bleep it out. - Medicine, you need to drink, medicine that you need to drink is accepted. You can drink protein drinks and weight gainers if the doctor tells you you have to. - Oh, wow. - Soup is allowed because it's a food. - Oh, okay. - And fruits are allowed because there are foods that have water and juice in them. - What about like fruit smoothies? - You can't blend it up, but you can eat fruit. - Interesting. - Which has water in it. - Yes, I would do it. - I would do it at least for probably five years. - Five years. - That's 500 grand that I didn't have. And I would probably still be working a normal job. So that's just my investment for the future. And I could probably retire 10 years earlier if I invest 500k right now. - Oh, because you're gonna keep working. - Yeah, I would keep working. - So you're just adding that on and invest that money. Yeah, I would have 500 grand over the course of the year.
of five years and then I would invest that over the next 20 or 30 and then hopefully retire five to 10 years early. So you're actually financially, you know, that's what I would do. Oh, wow. That's what I would do. Yes, I would do it. I actually don't have a problem just drinking water. The only time I guess I would is my late night cravings for chocolate milk because the two things you drink most of is chocolate milk and water and probably, well, especially if you include water and beer. I drink a lot. What are you applying? No, I'm not applying. I'm just saying that water and beer keeps coming up. I'm just saying alcoholic. No, that's not what I'm saying. He's an alcoholic. I was just thinking. The only things about beer. I didn't know if there was a price that you would settle for if 100K a year was enough. 100K a year is more than enough. Okay. I would at least try it for a year and like after a year, I have a hundred thousand dollars. That's complete. And if I want to go back to drinking chocolate milk, drinking beer, drinking all that stuff, I think I could always go back to chocolate milk. Yeah, I could definitely do it for at least a year. All right. I would probably do it for five. Five years. Would you not do it? 100K a year. If I'm also working on top of it, like if I'm taking that as my salary, no. Plus, I would get in some pretty freaking good shape. I know. If I'm not drinking alcohol, it's like the health benefit of it. Yeah. I mean, I probably consume, I don't know if this math is right or wrong, 2,000 calories a weekend on alcohol. That would be like 15 drinks. Yeah. Yeah, I probably consume around 2,000 calories. It depends what you're drinking to, but yeah, but still, even if you're drinking 15 beers, it's like 16, 16, 1700 calories. At least. Yes. So yeah, I would become ripped Brian. Okay. I didn't mean to insinuate anything. You weren't insinuating it just saying. I have a similar topic to the videos that we've been posting that go viral every single time. Okay. You know, the free birthday, free graduation, free companies that give you free stuff. This one's pretty blasphemous. Okay. What's it for? I'll tell you in just a second. Okay. Thank you. These four companies will pay your college degree if you work for them. Pay your college degree. Yes. So there's four companies. I think there's a few more, but I'm going to tell you the specifics here. Well, technically, there are a lot of companies that do it if you work for, okay. Starbucks, these are like not like corporate companies. Okay. Okay. Starbucks is the first one. You're eligible if you're part-time or full-time employees and you receive 100% tuition coverage for a first bachelor's degree online through Arizona State University. It has to be through Arizona State. So they have a partnership with ASU where they pay for your complete bachelor's degree online. No, it's a party school. But if you're online, I guess you're not partying. I guess not. You could probably still live there. But if you were for Starbucks, that's a deal. No, forget it. Sign me up for that. You're saving thousands and thousands of dollars. Another one. I think they cover that. I guess it's at like a discount, right? It's gone. I would assume it's at a discount. This Amazon does this. So they have a program called the Career Choice Program, which pays 100% of your tuition books and fees up to a yearly maximum for hourly associates after 90 days of employment. This makes me want to go work for those companies if I were getting a college degree. We already have our degrees, but if we needed one, but I paid for mine. Yeah, I know. I feel like if I knew this, I would have worked there for at least 90 days. Well, instead of working at Tilly's like I did, they didn't do anything for me. You definitely should not have worked at Tilly's. Target also does this. They have a dream to be program, which pays 100% of tuition for select degrees, and certificates, and up to $10,000 per year for your master's programs. Oh, for master's too. You could work at Target right now. Get a master's degree. I'm going to Target. I'm doing it. You mean Target? I would be a great sales associate. Oh, I mean, when I was at Tilly's just saying, what department would you sell it? Sales. Oh, what department of the store would you sell? I think like the TV's. The female lingerie. No. They have that at Target. Weird that you know that. Don't act like you don't. I don't. They have bras. I guess bras aren't the same thing as lingerie. Is that the same? I don't know what that is. It's lingerie and dessert. Why? You get so weird when these topics come up. You know what that is. No, I know. Never heard of it. What are you 13 years old? No, I know what it is. 29-year-old man. I know where it is. I know where it is. No, I don't. Can we hear it? No. Okay. I mean, it sounds unbelievable. It's basically a scholarship program through Chipotle. And you probably get free Chipotle. I don't think you get free Chipotle. You have to pay for your Chipotle as an employee. You probably get an employee discount. I think you get it for free. If you're working, I think during your shift, you got it. Do you fact check that? Do you get free meals? I don't think you do. Yes. Chipotle provides one free meal, including entree, aside to end a drink for every shift you work. Yeah. Regardless of how long the shift is. Yeah. Done. Deal. And then on your days off, you get 50 percent off. 50 percent off's good. So that's like a $6 burrito, I guess, right? Shout out Tony N. Who's Tony N? The Tony N that we know from high school, when she used to make my burritos. Why would I think of that? She would charge me for the second brain pointer. I haven't seen that girl in years. I ran into her in Vegas. She was on the same flight as me. I actually ran into her at a local bar. Chicken three pointer. It was like $3. And again, I don't know what that is. It's chicken three points. It's just a burrito with only chicken in it. How would I know that? I'm telling you. I'm just telling you. You weren't going to tell me if I didn't say I don't know what that was. She would charge me for the chicken three pointer and that was only chicken in the burrito. And it would cut like she put double meat in there. Glock didn't matter. It was like a $15 burrito. I would pay $3. Better arrest. She's never going to work its fully ever again. She didn't get fired. She did get fired. Probably because she was given that away. You know what? I probably wasn't the only one. It's a great shout out there. She's going to love that one. She's not going to watch it. Who knows? Don't send it to her. I don't have her phone number. I don't either. But don't send it to her. What was it? I went to J. Rad. Do you know what that is? J. Rad is Joe Rousseau's almost dead. It's a grateful dead cover. A grateful dead cover bit. Apparently they're the best. I've heard of them before. Have you ever, like, do you know the grateful dead at all? Yes. Like, they just play music for, like, two hours. And then they pause. And then they play music again for, like, two hours. They don't stop. It's like a jam band. But they have a bunch of songs. Jam band. I found out what that word meant this week. It's, like, chon and fish. Fish is a jam band. Fish is a real jam band. Yes. Grateful dead actually has, like, songs and lyrics and stuff. Fish. I don't even know if they have lyrics. Well, I was confused because grateful dead, yes. They record, like, studio albums that are very, like, to the tee. Yeah. But then they actually post their live shows. There's, like, a whole lot of this band that, like, you, like, could really dive in, if you want. What's the fans called? Deadheads. There you go. And John Mayer was part of Dead In Company. Who is the original singer? I'd forget his name. Not a true fan. No, I'm not. I'm not. I will never be a true fan. Jerry Garcia. Jerry Garcia. You know my skateboard. He is. About an LBI. But through that concert. You're having that train? I found cocaine. I found out some fun facts, and this one shocked me, so I'm going to tell you it. Can you guess the most attended concert of all time? Is it, like, Woodstock? It is not Woodstock. There were more people at a different concert. You're not going to believe it. Is it a grateful dead concert? It's not a grateful dead concert. Is it a fish concert? It's not a fish concert. Not a jam band. How many people attended? 3.5 million people. Was it virtually? It was not virtually. It was all in one place. And this place is a common place for a lot of the records on this list. Because I was going to say it could have been queen because that was the most viewed concert. Attended is also different than ticketed. Ticketed, I think, the most is like 500,000. So it's free people. But this was a free concert that a bunch of people attended in one location. In a park. It wasn't a park. Is it a festival? It's not a festival. This is to go see one person. Michael Jackson. Now, Michael Jackson. These are all games that I think would have been a part of this. Elvis Presley. Now, I also want you to guess the male and the female. There's a guy and a girl. Yes. One was set literally probably 30 days ago. Taylor Swift. Not Taylor Swift now. A female was set 30 days ago. Female artist. It's kind of weird. Chapel Roan. Not Chapel Roan. She is kind of weird. In the best way. She's great. I say weird as in like she's a little bit more out there. She wears weird dresses and stuff. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga set the record for females. 2.1 million people. Where? The Copa Cabana Beach. Where's that? I think it's in Brazil. Okay. I might be wrong. Copa Cabana. The second one is Shakira at 2 million. It was a year prior. Shakira. It was also at the Copa Cabana Beach. Wow. Okay. So the guy has to be there as well. The guy was also at the Copa Cabana Beach. I can't say it. But he was number one. He was number one. He was number one. So the number one female 2.1 million. This person had 3.5 million people. Pitbull. Not Pitbull. Is it a Hispanic artist? It's not. You got to kind of date it back a little bit. It's like not a modern person. - Raymond Felton. - No. - Ramon, there were moons. - No. - Rocky Balboa. - No. - Three letter first names starts with R. - Rick, same as Paul. - Rod Stewart? - Rod Stewart. - Oh, my parents just went to see him. - Really? - Yeah, he's awesome. They said it was one of the best concerts they've been to in a while. - Well, this might have been the best concert of all time. In 1994, on December 31st, Rod Stewart had 3.5 million people attend his concert at the Copa Cabana. - Good for big ol' Rod. - Do you know how much 3.5 million people is? - It's more than 3.4. - It is. - It is more. - But have you seen the kind of people posting, like, "Oh, what 100 followers looks like?" - Yes, I have. - What a thousand followers. - What a million followers looks like. 3.5 million people. I think there's a picture I'll throw it up in the podcast. It's a lot of people. - Yeah, I believe that. That's more people in my life. - But what beach is covered? You can't even move. - I'm trying to think. There's 300 million in the US. What state has 3 million? Maybe New Jersey. Maybe New Jersey. But why also, like, why Rod Stewart? - Why was he number one? - Rod Stewart's awesome. - He's awesome. - People, like, compared to, like, Lady Gaga, Shakira. - Yeah, no, Rod Stewart was huge. There's 9.55 million people in New Jersey. - So a third of New Jersey. - Yeah. - What's at that concert, basically? - That's three of Rhode Islands. - Three Rhode Islands. - Everyone that lives in Rhode Island three times over. - Are you trying to, like, I'm trying to find a state that's equivalent? - You're trying to, like, come up with a number. - Why don't you do, like, what state has a population of 3.5 million? How about that? - Utah. - Utah. - Utah doesn't have a lot of people. - Nevada has 3.28 to 3.42. - Okay, Connecticut. - Connecticut, look at that. - You live in Connecticut. - Oh, yeah, I'm there. - Are you a Connecticut resident? - No. - I cut my address in Jersey. - Don't ever do that. - What? - I don't want that license. - No, that's gonna be horrible. - It's also easier for, like, tax purposes 'cause our businesses here to also have my residents here. - That's true, you know? - Where's your residents? - It's where I live now. It's that basement. - Oh, oh, oh. - I forgot that you have that apartment. - Yeah. - We won't get into legalities with that, but I don't know the legalities. You don't know the legalities? - No. - Half year year in the state of your residency. One day more than half the year. - Yeah. - He's gonna get sued. (laughing) - He's gonna get cited. - That's not true. - It is where the hundred percent year. - I'm not gonna get cited. - Everything's fine. - Okay. - I'm just saying. - How does that work for people who travel? - They live more than half the year in the state that they're at residences. Dave Portoy lives in Florida for 100 and blah, blah, blah. - Yeah, but saying he travels for more than half the year. - Whenever he's living, he's in a majority. - Yes. - Yeah, I'm in New Jersey once a week at least. And then I'm here in New Jersey, New York. I'm covered. - New York. What does New York have to do with anything? - I don't know, I'm just travel. - That's not the state. - I mean, I am here. I am here. - We're just gonna cut that whole thing off. I don't know what to say. (laughing) - Oh gosh. Okay. I wanted to talk about the past. I think that's what we're talking about. Since we're talking about Rod Stewart, let me talk about the past here. - Okay. - We'll talk about the 1900s. I'm getting blown up right now. - 1900s. - Well, yeah, just in general. - Did these predictions of the future actually happen when they were made in the 1900s? - I like this. It's like back to the future. - It is. - Okay. - The first one was made in 1900. And it says, "We'll communicate via video chatting." - Yeah, we're doing that. I feel like we've been doing that for years. We've been FaceTime. We've been oof-ooing. - Oof-oo. - We've been skyping. - Skyping. - Well, what's the other one? - Chat roulette. Oh, megal. I don't think that those are the same thing. - I think. - Aren't those both? - What do we use now, FaceTime? - I mean, we've been FaceTiming. - That's the most common one. So yes, that one came true. The second one is-- - They're Microsoft Teamsing. - Yes. - Zooming. - DS chat rooming. - No, what's that? - That's not a video thing. - I think, do you remember that? - No. - You never had a DS? - Oh, if you had a DS, you could chat with people around. - I was more of a fan of picdo chat, which what's part of the DS too? You would just draw pictures and send them to each other? - No. - I did do that. Another prediction was there will be 24 hour daylight. In 1950, this was predicted. - What, like we could capture daylight for 24 hours? - This one definitely did not come true, but I think that they said that maybe we'll have like, a sun out there or light at all times, so we can be productive at night or do stuff outside. - Well, Alaska, at certain points of the year, the sun doesn't set. - So technically, that's one's true. - It's not true, okay. - The next one was made in 1900 as well. We will have flying public transportation. - I think we have like one form of flying. - We're not gonna say that game true. - Okay. - No planes, they don't count? - Flying, oh, I guess you're right. Was, were there planes in 1900? - Yes, I think like 1930s, maybe something like that? - Okay, so not 1900. - Oh yeah. Well, I think the Wright brothers were like 1888 or something. - First, public plane flights, 1906. - Yeah, okay. - So they were only six years off with their predictions. - Right there. - Another one was made in the 1940s. You will be able to shop from home. - Okay, we do that probably more than we go in person now. - That's correct. I mean, I don't do that, but the general public does do that. And I feel like that's nuts to think about that they didn't have that at all. - It's also like how much do we shop? - I never shop. - Yeah, I never shop either. - I can't remember the last time I purchased anything besides food or drink. - You should try shopping one day. - No. - No, it's fun. You like intentionally go somewhere with the purpose to buy clothes or materials. - I'm good, I'm fine. - It's fun, Brian. - The next thing, in 1900, they predicted that we will play sports underwater. - Well, I guess we're not doing that. - What do you mean, I guess we're not doing that. - Technically, Michael Phelps. - Underwater, we're playing sports underwater. - No, no. - Okay, I guess we're not. - Thank you. - Well, technically he's underwater, but yeah. Let's stop stretching the meaning here. You know what they were implying. - What kind of sport would you play? - I don't know. - Baseball underwater? - I don't think that that would work. - In the year 1900, there was a prediction that instruments will play themselves. - Technically, this is right. - It's kind of true. - I don't think that. - They have the piano. - Is that in Wegman's specific? - That was the first time I've ever saw it. - Yeah, you could do this with the piano. You got a baby grand piano. It's set up and it pulls the strings and plays a song. - Correct. I don't think any other instruments play themselves though. - Now, guitar would be tough. - No, I don't think anything else would work. Maybe a trumpet where you like, pull the things down. - I feel like I've seen a harp. - No. - Maybe, yeah, probably a harp. - Yeah. - In 1900, they predicted that firefighters will be flying with bat wings. - Yeah, no, that's not happening. - It would probably be pretty useful. - What did though? - So they don't have to use ladders and like, risk their lives by going into the fire. They just fly next to it and spray with water. - You know what, I'll never understand. - Far as fires. - How bold you are. - That was, it's really long right now. - Oh my god, put it on. - Oh yeah, it's bad. - Put that on. - I, far as fires. Like, how do you put out a forest fire? You just let it burn out, right? - Yeah, if you get to uncontrolled, like you can't do anything. - Like, what, they dump water on some of it to like make it a little bit better, but it still spreads anyway. - Yeah, I don't think you can stop a forest fire. It's an unstoppable forest, just like how bold you're getting. - Funny Brian. - Unstoppable forest. - hilarious. - It is an unstoppable forest. - Good job. 1900, they also predicted a robot will be the new teacher. - I'm not sure they have that. - They do not have that, I don't know. - I feel like closest thing is AI, like Watson. - Chatchy BT's Watson. - Watson's IBM's AI. - Oh, that's how that right? I think I did. - I have no idea what you're talking about. - IBM's AI, yes, a lot of letters going on. - That's the one that they play against in jeopardy. - Oh, didn't know that they did that either. - Years ago, they were ahead. All right, there you go. In 1900, they also predicted that robots will be our cleaners. - Technically, we have Roombas. We have a Roomba, which cleans to an extent. - Yeah, it doesn't do the best job on the world. - That's not the best job. - No, but I've seen stuff now in streams and stuff. You have like Butler robots. - Butler robots. I'm sure that we're on the brink of something, but as of now, I would say they're not really our cleaners. - No, but they could be our assistants. - They could be our assistants. - And the last one, in the 1960s, they predicted that self-driving cars are the future. - Which we have Waymos. - And we are currently getting into that era of our life. - Antesla. - Antesla. - And a few other cars, but I don't know which cars they are. - I don't know if I would ever elect to use that. - You wouldn't go in a Waymo? - I've been in a Waymo, but I don't know if I'd elect to, if I bought a car and be like, oh cool, it's self-driving. I don't have to drive it. I could just hang out. Like, would you actually use it? - I think that it will get more comfortable with the desk. - Yeah. - It grows on us. - It'll be nice and traffic. - It would be very nice. - You're not to stop. - You just stop there. - I also saw a video of a husband and a wife and they got in their Tesla and they go, all right, Tesla, take me somewhere that I've never been before. And they just kind of went on less a little adventure. - And the Tesla knows where they've been based off the car. - Yes, yeah. - So it's everywhere that you've been in that Tesla. It has a memory bank of it. - I probably made a good video. - I didn't watch till the end. - Okay. - I don't know where they went. - I think they got food somewhere. - Food. - Yeah. - Why was that so shocking? - No, 'cause like the fact that your car was deciding where you go to eat. It's just like, it's weird. It's weird to me. That is shocking. - Food, food. They got a food. - What else are you gonna do? - I thought it was like an adventure thing. Like, oh, let's go hike this mountain. - It's always hiking with you. It's guys obsessed with hiking. - Sets with hiking. - You are kind of obsessed with hiking. - You know what people are obsessed with? - Hiking. - Pokemon Go. - You're obsessed with hiking a little bit. - I'm not obsessed with it. I actually don't like it that much 'cause of the wild animals. I've been being fed bear as coyote content on my Instagram feed. It's 'cause you were freaking out when we were in California. - People get attacked. - Oh my gosh. - Obviously. - So you know Becky, my friend Becky. - Yes. - She is in Sequoia. - She's in Sequoia. - She's in Sequoia. Sequoia National Park. - Sequoia. - The Redwoods? - Sure. - She's there and she saw bears and she was just like videotaping out. - Oh, I saw the looked awesome. - Yeah. - Horrifying. - It's not horrifying. - If they're just like playing over there and then the mom starts walking towards you, she's around pubs and stuff. - Don't do anything crazy. You're fine.
- Fine, I don't know how she did that, I would never. - If I ever saw a bear in the wild, I might not ever hike again. - Relax. - You gotta grow up. - That's fine. - I mentioned Pokemon Go. I was leaning towards Pokemon, really. I discovered something that is quite fascinating. - Talk to me, Goose. - Did you know you can actually understand-- - Also pause, okay? - We have an editor from Scotland named Liam, and I said Liam, like in a chat with him or in our chat, and he said, talk to me, Goose. - Yeah. - He's getting way more American. - That was a suicide. - That's a win for us, yeah, that's a huge win. - Did you know you can actually understand Pikachu? - Pikachu. - Yes, okay, so that actually translates to something. - Does it really? - Oh, I just got upgraded on my flight. - Nice, congratulations. - I keep interrubbing you, I apologize, I'm sorry. - Pikachu has a language of his own in Pokemon, and fans have decoded what many of his sayings mean. So I have a full translation list here. I'm gonna tell you a few of them, okay? - Talk to me. - What do you think, Pikachu means? - I have to be. - No, my name is Pikachu. - No, it's the name of a character. - Pikachu. - Pikachu? - I have no, it's the name of a Pokemon? - It's the name of a character in the show. When Pikachu says Pikachu, who's he referring to? - Ash catch him. - Ash catch him, yes. - That one makes sense. - How do you think Pikachu says Bulbasaur? - How am I gonna guess that? - 'Cause I like giving you the other way, but this way he's got a more fun. - Pikachu. - Oh, close? - Pikachu. - No. - Pikachu. Pikachu says Pikachu. Pikachu, Pikachu. (laughing) - You're not enjoying this, aren't you? - No, it's great. - How am I supposed to, like, what, what inkling am I supposed to get here? - I'll tell you some. So, Pikachu means Ash. Pikachu means Brock or Axu. I don't know who Axu is. - Me either. - Bulbasaur is Pikachu, Pikachu. Pikachu means Squirtle and several other Pokemon, okay? - I don't, I don't know how to make this like a guessing game for you. - It's not, like, you can't make it like a guessing game. - Pika means wait. - Okay. - Pika means goodbye. - I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. There's a bunch of translations, I'll put them on the screen. - Okay. - I thought it was fascinating that Pikachu and fans were decoding this. - I don't think about that one. - That's, it's fascinating. - That is fascinating. - Super fascinating. - Peep, peep, peep. - Tunga peep. - Who's, I don't even know who Toga peep is. - I think it's a Pokemon bride. - Probably is. - Yeah, I'm not really sure. I don't think that that really makes sense. - It does make sense. - No, I don't think it does. - 'Cause you have Pikachu or Pikachu, you have like four syllables there. How does that make sense? - I'm gonna center the translations. - Ash, yeah, explain the translations to me. 'Cause I don't think they make sense. I think it's all just made up. - Pika peep. - Yeah. - Ash, okay. - So every single time that Pikachu is addressing Ash. - Yes, I understand what you're saying. - I understand what you're saying. - It's okay. - But it's, like, it doesn't make sense. Do you not understand what I'm saying? - Well, I don't think a lot of language makes sense. All languages make sense. - I don't think they do. - Okay. (laughing) - What is that? You're just being arrogant. You don't think languages make sense? - I think they make-- - There's letters and syllables. - They made their own language through Pikachu sounds. - I don't think it's a real, it's not, it can't be decoded, 'cause it's not a real language. - I think it can be. - But look, listen, listen. - How does Pika peep mean Ash? - Because I don't understand. - Because there's no time he's addressing Ash. - Okay, you're not, you're not understanding. How does Pika peep mean Ash? And then what else is similar to Pika peep? - Pika-ka. - Okay, what does that mean? - Dawn. (laughing) - Explain that. - 'Cause when they address Dawn. - Zach, I know. - I know, but you're not understanding. Decoding a language is figuring out letters and syllables and how they're connected. - Not all languages are like that though. - Every single language is like that on the planet. I'm saying you can't decode that. If there was no show, you couldn't decode what that means. I don't know what you're doing. - That's a language. - What language is that? - Phenoc language. I don't know what it is. - Exactly. - No, but there are tribes that you communicate through knock. - Because it makes sense. - This is the same thing. - No, it's not. You're not understanding. It's probably a different tonage or something like that. But that's obviously not what they sound like. - That is. - No, but they don't say, they have words probably. They have different tones and everything. - Pikachu has his own language. - I believe you. - It's a made up fake language. - Yes. - You can't decode it though. - You can decode it based on the context of the show. - Okay. - Wait, wait, wait. But if there was no show, you can't decode it because it's not a real language. You're decoding it from visuals. - Yeah. - That's not a language. - But Iqotani has voiced Pikachu for 25 plus years and has kept these exact speech patterns remarkably consistent across thousands of episodes. - I believe you. - So it's a language that they created for Pikachu. - 100%. - But it can't be decoded. - It's decoded through the show. - I know. - But is that the saying we're saying that it could never be a real language? - No. - Of course not. - There you go. - You're comparing it to a real language. - We can't say Brian by saying. - Exactly. That's what I'm saying. It's not a real language. It can't be decoded. - I think that's crazy. - It can't be. - I'm just saying, every single word Pikachu says, I didn't realize had actual intent behind it. - Yes, that's it. - If they match it to characters or words. - I understand. - And it's incredible over the course of 25 years that Iqotani was able to replicate these. - It's very, it's exact thing. - It is incredible. - It's incredible. - It's the character. - Calm down. - You got mad at me at first. - You're yelling at me now. - No, yeah, I'm the one yelling. - It is, it makes sense. I understand what you're saying, but I'm just saying that if there was no context, it could not be a real language. - That's completely different than decoding the language that Pikachu speaks. - No, because it could never be created into like different words or anything. That's all I'm saying. - Put your hat back on. - Actually. - Jesus Christ. - This guy's sweating from his bald ass. - That is sweating at all. - But you're super shiny. - It's actually, that's bad. That's fine. I'm just saying. We're saying the same thing. - We're saying different things, but I understand what you're saying. - And I understand what you're saying. Let's move on. - I don't think you do. - I do. - Like, you can't say like trophy or anything else. - Yes, so therefore it could never be a real language. - But decoding. - But decoding is the same thing as the opposite of coding and coding language is creating a language. - I thought decoding meant breaking something down. - It is. - Which it did. - And coding is building something up. - Right. - So you could never move on. - I'm just saying, I'm saying that you're right with what you're saying, but you're, I'm also right with what I'm saying. - Yeah, like it's not, yes. It's not an actual language, obviously. - I know. - But they do mean things. - Yes. - Yeah, that's what I've been saying the entire time. - Next topic. - Okay. - Let's move on. - Oh my god, sick. - I don't know, oh my god, beyond that. I feel like we were saying the same. We were arguing over differences that were the same. - No, we were. - Okay. - We were. - Okay. - We were. I'm gonna talk about Australia now. - Okay, so let's move on here. - Let's move on. - I can't believe I got upgraded. - I have a fun game to end the podcast. I'm excited. - Is it a rapping game? - It's not a rapping game. No, it's a different game. - Here are six reasons why living in Australia is so dangerous. - Tell me why. - You would never move here. - I would never know. - Talking about the bears, like what you just mentioned, you would never go. I don't think you would go there. - Too much wildlife. - I would go to, come on. - We'll see after this. - Okay. - The first thing is that it's the snake capital of the world. - Snakes don't scare me as much. - It is home to 20 of the world's 25 most venomous snake species. - Snake scare me a lot. - I know. Our friend Drice just got bit by his snake. - Yeah, right now. - Right now, he's still recovering. - I know. - He's doing well though. - Happy for a thank god. - Geez. - Another thing is that it's home to the box jellyfish. - That's the most venomous jellyfish in the world. - I don't know if it's venomous, but if it stings you, you could die. If it stings you, it can kill an adult human in under three minutes flat. - There's no saving someone from that. There's no saving someone from that. Another thing it's home to is the Sydney funnel web spider. - Probably one of the most poisonous spiders in the world. - It is. - venom can kill a child in 15 minutes. - 15 minutes. - Yes, a spider. - A little baby spider like that. - Can you survive as an adult problem? - I'm sure that you can survive these if you get the correct treatment. - I got bit by a spider. Do you remember the first time you ever bit? - Do I what? - Do you remember the first time you were ever bit by a spider? - Uh, no. - I snuck out of my room. I woke up in the middle of the night, went downstairs. What's my laundry room? Out of all places, saw a spider, bit screened. - Why did you go to the laundry room? - No idea. - Are you sleepwalking? - I wasn't sleepwalking because that's fully awake for it. - But there was like a cockroach or something. - Whoa. - Yeah, like the ones that like, like beetle, whatever. - That's not the cockroach, it's the beetle. - The beetle thing. - It was scary. - Okay. A Sydney funnel web spider. It's venom, I already said that. - Yes. - Another thing that it's home to is salt water crocodiles. You know how big they can get to? - Up to 12 feet. - Okay, why don't you double that? - 24 feet. - They can grow up to seven meters, which is about 23 feet long and ambush people from shallow muddy waters. - I don't think they could run long though. I also think to survive their attacks. People say diagonal lines, just run straight. They can't run for long periods of time. - I think they can. - I don't think they can. - I don't think it matters though, because I think they can run up to like 30 miles an hour. - I should have prepared the topic, but there was a topic to survive animal attacks, and that was one of them. - Okay. - It says zigzags completely wrong. Another thing is that they have solar burn there. Australia has the highest skin cancer rate on earth due to ozone exposure. - Is he up? - No, yeah. - No say it. - No say it. - I'm just confused about the ozone. - Like how do they know? - I have no idea. - Like what makes certain parts break down more than others? - Well, I think that there are some weak spots in the ozone layer. - Yeah, but like how do they know that? Is it because of pollution? - I think pollution breaks down. - If I had to guess yes. - Yes, if I had to guess the fact.
We sound so stupid, I don't know what that is. The greenhouse effect is when all the gas has kind of chamber in, and they don't release through. It's why greenhouses are hot, but it's with pollution. So pollution goes into the air and kind of warms up and gets hot. Hence, global warming, okay? Fair enough, I trust my case. Fair enough. And then the other thing it's home to is it's home to the stonefish. The stonefish, no. It's one of the most venomous fish in the world, and you cannot see it coming due to its camouflage. So you can't even see it in the water that you're swimming. No, you can't. That's bad. And then it also has those giant spiders, this big. They're literally like this big. What are those? I don't know, but they're giant spiders. I'm going to look it up. Giant spiders in Australia. You've never seen the giant? Never. Spiders in Australia? No idea what you're talking about. Oh, yeah, no thing. Oh, that's a gigantic thing. It's insane. Oh my god. No, thank you. And those are dangerous or no? I think that they're dangerous. I'm not sure, I don't have any stats written down for those, but imagine seeing that. I mean, those damn arachnids, they got me every time. What was that word? Those damn arachnids. That's a good word. Thank you very much. It's called arachnids or spiders, yes. Good job. Thank you, Brian. You're welcome. We're going to end the podcast final topic alert with a game. I feel like it went fast today. I feel like it did go fast. Well, we fought for most of it. Yeah, it's fine. It's probably why. It's fine. Put your head back on. You should. I'm growing it out. You know what? Mine is almost the worst, as worse, but just the opposite. You want to donate some? We should cut your hair off and tape it to my head. All right. If this podcast gets 100,000 views, I will shave my head and blew it on Zach's head. With no promotion. Should I throw that at the front of the podcast? You saying that? See what happens? Should we go for hire? No, no. If this podcast gets 200,000 views, I will take my hair off my head and glue it on Zach's. The things we do for content. Have you seen the trend of people saying things with different tones? So it's like, this is like you saying it's supportive? Disappointed. It's our classic and flirting. So I'm going to send you a few lines and then we're going to try and deliver these. We're going to see, basically, who could say what better? We have a new project that we've been working on, and we've been acting a little bit in it, which we can't say what it is yet. But I mean, acting is a stretch. So we got to bring out our acting side for this. Yes. This is the first one I've ever sent you. I pooped like that. The phrase is, I pooped my pants. Brian, can you say this in a supportive one? Are we both doing it? We're both going to do it, yes. I want you to look dead in the camera. What am I doing? Supportive. I'm trying to think of like the. Or I'll tell you after. I'm going to laugh. Let me lock it. Let me lock it. Lock it. I pooped my pants. That was all right. I was going for the Adam Sandler when he said I peed my pants. That was cool. Yes. I pooped my pants. Okay. That was good. It's like if you poop your pants and you say I pooped my pants. I'm trying to look dead in the camera to do it. He's stuttering now. I pooped my pants. What is that? What is with that serial killer stare? Are you still doing it again? Sure. I pooped my pants. What's. Why do you have a. I don't smile. I'm trying to be supportive. Look like you're going to kill somebody. All right. All right. Do the same thing. Wait, no, do the same thing. I don't know how else to do it. I pooped my pants. Why? That was good. That was better. It's hard. No, it's very challenging. Dude, disappointed. So cramp. So. Oh, to cramp's painful. Disappointed. Disappointed. Okay. Like, disappoint it in yourself or disappointed at it. I think this. In this context, your disappoint just kind of overall. Disappointed at myself for pooping my pants. Yeah. Come on. Okay. All good? Lock it. How am I going to do this? How are you going to do this? I don't know how to do this. You don't need something to think of to be able to do. No, I'm just trying to think of the tone and like, like the. I pooped my pants. Okay. No, okay. That's pretty good. One more for people. All right. I'm going to re-lock in now. It's hard to have. I pooped my pants. That was good. That was the take. That was the take. Come on. Should I continue to look into the camera? Well, it depends. Your vibe. My vibe is I don't think they're looking into the camera. It helps. Yeah, I think it makes it worse. Well, I'm trying to pretend like it's someone that I'm telling this, that like I am disappointed. I don't think if I was disappointed, I would not make eye contact. So maybe I'll do like a look at that. Yeah, you could do that. I pooped my pants. That was better than the first time. Right, right. We're getting somewhere. That was pretty good. I like that. Okay. Sarcastic. Oh. If you like this one, I just want to like raise the tone. Like I poop my pants. But that's not it. Is that Sarcastic? I don't think it is. I'm trying to figure out the tone for Sarc. Yeah. I pooped my pants. Is that? I don't know what Sarcastic is really. Like we got to try it. I think that was second one was good. That's decent. Do you want to go first? I pooped my pants. Oh, I pooped my pants. Oh, I pooped my pants, all right. Go on to the last one. Yeah, I can try that. I pooped my pants. That was it. All right, last one. Flirty. Very flirtatious. All right. I feel like we're going to crack up. I got to try to think about how. I don't know how to even. I don't know how to flirt either. Don't worry. Okay. What? All right. You're trying to flirt with a girlfriend. Yeah, you pooped your pants. I don't really like flirt. All right. All right, lock it. Lock it. You can't do it. Lock it. I pooped my pants. Loved it. Loved it. Oh. Lock it. Let's see Sarc go now. Here we go. You know, I've been known to point my pants. Oh, I'm waiting. Can you throw in the wig and try not to smile. Be like. Be like a. Like a smolder or what I'm talking about? A smolder? Is that what the name is? Yeah, smolder. Smolder? Do you have a smolder? Like the Rockly? No, like. I want you to get sexy. Get sexy. I'm going to get sexy. And scene. I pooped my pants. All right, it's a pause right there. Stay there. That's what he thinks sexy looks like. Do you want to do one more? Do you want to call? We can do it one more. Okay, I'm going to let you pick the phrase that we do. Oh, is it the same prompts? Same prompts. It's you peaked in high school. I can land a plane. Are you serious? Like the. Like, are you serious? Or good for you? Good for you. Good for you is a good one. Okay. Okay. Good for you, but supportive. Like, you actually mean it. Good for you. Good for you. Oh, that sounded sarcastic. You kind of always sound sarcastic. Oh, thanks. Thank you. Like. Good for you. No, that sounds sarcastic. That sounds sarcastic. No, no, no. Okay, my body just did something really cool. Okay. Good for you, man. Good for you. You know what it is? What? I think it's like the half smile. I don't know how to. What do you want me to do? Stop smiling? No, no, no. You should smile on this area. I got it. Good for you. I think I might just have it in my head that it's sarcastic. Yeah. Which is a completely different. It looks like mean they're saying that. Good for you. Good for you. Good for you. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Disappoint it. Disappoint it. How would I say good for you, disappointed? This one's got to be like. I have to be disappointed at them, right? Yeah, I think so. You're like. Good for you. Like something like that. That's pretty good. Yeah, thank you. That's pretty good. Have you? Yeah. No. Good for you. Good for you. Yeah. I'm in it now. That kind of sounded like more like. Like kind of like jealous. Yeah, jealous. Yeah, I don't know how to. I don't know. I need. Why am I disappointed at you? I'll give you a scenario. I'll do it. I'll come up with something. Good for you. Dude, I just won the I can poop competition. Good for you. There you go. I know I went off the. I pooped my pants then. Good for you. I was weird when I say that. Sarcasm. Sarcastic. Good for you. Good for you. You could. It would have been better if you just said it like you were happy for somebody. Here's my supportive, but then also Sarcastic. Good for you. That's tough. Let's do flirty. Oh, yeah. Good for you. Is that your flirtation? Yeah. Do it again? Say I like curl my hair. Yeah. Good for you. That's flirtatious. I'll curl my hair that doesn't exist. Good for you. All right. Was that. That's the podcast. What was that? I don't know. Oh my goodness. All right. For all the audio viewers, you guys are missing out on some visuals here. Was that a good face? No, that was a bad face. That was the worst one you've done. Good for you. That's flirting? Good for you. I can't do it. What do you want? Be like a sexual man. Good for you. What? What are we doing? Good for you. I'm trying to be. I'm trying to be sexy. Good for you. I don't know what's going on. No, that's a wrap of the truck. Try it one more time. Good for you. That's flirting? How is that flirting? I don't know, Brian. That's the podcast 205. What have you guys enjoyed? Hopefully it's a good one. Brian, what are we doing now? If you didn't know, we have a membership program on our YouTube channel. Zach gives a shout out to every single member. If you want to just join, you go to our YouTube channel, click membership program and then join. And then. - And then you get a shout out out there of everybody else. - Good for you, though. - That's flirty. - I don't know, I'm trying different things. So it's all not working.
