The End of Chuckle Sandwich

"Chuckle Sandwich" is concluding after four years, marking a heartfelt and intentional finale rather than a forced drop. The final week, dubbed "Chuckle Week," is designed as a celebratory, emotionally rich experience, featuring high-energy episodes, shared memories, and reflections on personal growth. The creators highlight their journey from early stress and improvisation to a more mature, intentional format, acknowledging how the podcast evolved alongside their lives. They express deep gratitude to their audience—now estimated at over 150 episodes and hundreds of thousands of listeners—calling it a meaningful part of listeners’ routines. The team emphasizes that while the podcast ends, their creative journeys continue, with plans for future projects and personal endeavors. A final merchandise drop is announced, with details to be revealed in a future episode. The departure is framed not as a loss, but as a meaningful closure, offering a legacy of laughter, connection, and shared experiences. The creators also reflect on the cultural shifts they’ve witnessed, including YouTube’s evolving subscriber awards, and reaffirm their commitment to authenticity and joy in their work. This finale is presented as a joyful, two-month-long celebration of their time together, with the hope that listeners will feel both the sadness of closure and the warmth of a well-earned, well-earned end.

- (sighs) - (sighs) - Juno, this is gonna be a really hard episode to make. It's gonna be really hard, Juno. This is gonna be a real tough one. It's gonna be tough. Give me the strength to get through this. It's gonna be hard. - I'm gonna start crying. I'm gonna start crying. - Don't do it, here I go. - Don't, I'm genuinely doing it this time. You heard the title right, Chucklers. - You heard it right, Chucklers? - This is it. - This is it. - This is the final dance. - The last chuckle, some might say. - Tuckers here. - I'm here. - And he's dancing with us, is he not? - I am. - I am. - It's a sad slow dance. - It's a sad slow dance, but we thought, you know. - What was that? - It was a game style. - Oh, I thought you were riding a horse. - Game style is not a slow dance. - Yeah, that's fast. - That's the guy, the guy, part of the music video is in a wind chamber. - Okay, okay, it's like getting blasted. - Is that elevator opens up, that guy's moving his hips and the-- - That is not a-- - That was my sexual awakening. - Was it, really? - When did that come out? - Well, Mitt Romney style came out, so is that election. - Oh, so 2012, yeah, wow. - Your sexual orientation. - Okay, it lines up, actually. - About 14. - What about it, woke you up? - Yeah, what about it woke you up? Was it the guy in the yellow suit? - I was a guy, I think. I mean, I never asked him. - This is supposed to be serious. - This is serious. - Locking in. Yeah, no, chuckle sandwich is ending and this will be our final chuckle week. Welcome to chuckle sandwich. (upbeat music) - This is gonna be a super hard video to make, you know. I don't know how I'm gonna do it. It's ending. I don't know what to do. Four years of my life just gone. I don't know how I'm gonna live with myself after this. I don't know what I could possibly do with those other multiple hours of work a week. Oh, y'all, you don't care? Oh, you don't care? Great, what a great friend you are. Oh, yeah, go sit next to Ted. Go sit next to Ted. - Yeah. - Come here, Gina. - Welcome everybody to chuckle sandwich. This is the first episode of the final chuckle week. - Chuckle week! Chuckle week! We actually, we have, these episodes are gonna be coming out in sort of a weird order. You're gonna notice maybe we're, I have more facial hair than I had before. Maybe I don't have any facial hair. I don't know. More episodes still to film, but this is, in fact, the last chuckle week. And this might come as a surprise to some of you. I mean, some people might be not confused, I don't know, but it's like when Charlie left, remember that? - Yeah. - It's that again. - Yes. - It's that again. - Yeah, it is. I have an unmatched stamina to continuing podcast and I keep burning out the people that I've brought on. No, I'm not burnt out. - Yeah? - No. I could keep going. I just don't want to. And that's really, yeah. - What's the difference between that and burning out? - Oh, well, I mean, I don't feel burnt out of jerking off right now. I just don't want to at the moment. - Okay. - Can't go an episode. - Can't go an episode, yeah. - That's what happened in there. - Can't go an episode without, without, yeah, no, it was the first one they're seeing. - And it's funny, he jacks off between every recording. - I have to relieve myself somehow. - You know, don't listen to that. - Ted, this is a stressful job. You and I know it more than anybody. - Sorry, do you know? - The amount of, I mean, wow, it's real rough. - Yeah. - Gets real rough doing this job. And sometimes I think, you know, is it even worth it? And that's the question I found myself asking. - Whether or not I was worth it? - Yeah, yeah, all of it. - Yeah, all of it. - Yeah, and I think that's more of a spiritual and religious journey for myself that I'll keep working on, chipping away at. But that's not remotely close to what we're here to talk about. - Yeah. - We're just, we're ending. - Yeah, we're ending the podcast. It's been, you know, it's been almost four years. It started in January 30th of 2021. Which means by the time the podcast is over, after Chuckle Week, it will have been for a whole year. - For whole years. We've definitely got the timing figured out, I think we've done the math. - Which is funny to think about, because when I was starting to make money on YouTube, I didn't think I'd last four years. I thought, that's like the average. - I swear I heard that the horizon line, the horizon line, it was like three years. Most people who do this job don't last four years. - Really? - Like, yeah, yeah. I mean, most people you don't hear about it at all. - Yeah. - But I mean, the relevance is not like, I don't know, I think there's something to be said about being able to end on a note on your own terms. - Yeah. - I note, and not just keep every project going indefinitely. - Yeah. - Until it eventually peters out, and you just kind of left there kind of, trying to cling back some of the clutch spot once had. - Yeah, I mean, how many seasons would you say that chuckle sandwich occupies in terms of, it would be kind of an interesting project if people tried to sort of section out. I mean, a lot of the time we would, I think the general consensus was that we would, we would, every time a chuckle week happened, that was the end of a season. And then the chuckle, then coming back, that was the beginning of the new season, but then we kind of slowed down on the chuckle weeks a little bit. So it's kind of hard to tell. We, this whole year, I mean, was an era of just like, we were, every week, we were locked into, we were locked in this year. But yeah, I mean, I don't know, we've had so many different arrows of chuckle sandwich. I mean, most of it, even, like the entirety of the time that I was in that apartment, my old apartment was chuckle sandwich, and I just moved. I think I moved 10 times. Yeah, you moved like 16 times over the time of chuckle sandwich. And there's so many different apartments that Schlatt was in. Is that I was one I was in? Yeah. And I don't know, we used to have Charlie on the pod. We did just to have him. We brought chucker, chucker, chuckle tucker. We brought tucker onto the pod. We did the game grump studios, chuckle week. We had a, we've got a lot of different guests on. The fact that it made it four years is impressive. Oh, yeah, honestly, it is. Most podcasts don't even make it past a year. Yeah, did Schlatt win. We, I think I did six. Yeah, I remember when you were talking about that, you were like, yeah, I'm going to keep this going wrong. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and then I realized, oh, do I want to do this? Yeah, it was a good, it was a good, it was a good concept. And those videos now that I'm looking at them, holy crap. Yeah, they're all over a million views. Are they all really? It's everyone. No, too. Wow. So you're telling me that every digital. What are you going to bring it back? Well, I'll have time. I guess that's true. I guess that's true. I remember you saying that the thing you struggled with the most was the scheduling, but you could just get an assistant for that. I don't want an assistant. That's such bullshit. It's not. No, it's. Yes, it is. Yes, absolutely. I mean, if you're two, if you don't. Usually people hire assistants to do stuff that you don't people don't want to do. Here's what'll happen. Well, in that case, it would go like, hey, Schlatt, it's time to film. I don't want to. Okay. You do it. They have to have. I don't know, they got to have a. You get an assistant that has a button and you get wear a shock collar. Then you'd be really effective. That would get me to show up. So at the time to record, I don't want to. Ah! Ah! Coming! Coming! Yeah. Ah! Pretty good idea, right? No. What? You want to know something fun? Oh, sorry. Sit back down. Sit down. Sit. Sit. Dude, you're confusing her. Maybe you guys can talk about where you were when it started and where you were at the end of each season, how you've grown and who you've got to meet through the process. Ah! Well, we met Sark. We did meet Sark. I mean, at the beginning, when we started the pod, I mean, we were out of 2021. I was inside. Inside. In Sark. In Sark. In Sark. I was 22. I think you just had turned 23. I had just turned 23. Question mark. Yeah. Yeah. I was literally only maybe seven or eight months about out of having graduated from college. And now it's been, it's worked, it's been four years since I've been at a college. So like, I mean, I had just, I was still a college kid at that point when we started chuckle sandwich. And now I am a man and adult with thoughts that are adult thoughts, like sex. That's true. about sex a lot. - I know. - I think I always kind of did though. - Really? - Back in the day, I think it was kind of just the same amount of sex topics and such. - Now the topics have shifted? - No, I don't think the topics have shifted that much. I think the pod definitely went from more of an improv thing. We're just gonna turn the cameras on and see what happens. Into a more kind of calculated, less stressful procedure. - Yeah, no, I was definitely stressed at the beginning of chocolate sandwich. Those days were days defined by my stress every episode. - But you were in school. - You had other shit to do too. - I wasn't, I was out of school during chocolate. It was just that I wanted to make sure it went well. So I was like, if you look at the early episodes, I have like this nervous laugh thing I would do. - You do. - I know exactly, I used to listen, those were, I was an audio listener. - Yeah, I used to have a nervous laugh thing I would do and I'd be like, (laughs) - Wow, not like that, it's dream, but it was like, - Or you'd start a thought and you'd, you'd enunciate the words so much because you're trying to buy yourself more time 'cause you didn't know what you were going to say. - Yeah, I'd be like, "Shot, what in the world?" - Yeah. - Do you think is your favorite color? - Blue. - Blue. - Or green. - Or green? - Maybe like a mix of both. - Or green. - What do you think about Juno? - These are the type of old dogs where they don't, they don't hear their name anymore. They only just listen to a person. - It's like a lot of me, man. - This dog freaking loves me. - Yeah. - Yeah, Juno, yes, yes. - You know what, I wanna talk about for a little bit. This notion of ending is something that I think doesn't get to happen on most creators' own terms. - Sure. - Either something will happen with a project which we're familiar with. - Yeah. - Or you just keep going until it's old and stale, and that's all you know, so you just keep doing it. And eventually, as I've said, like you'd try and cling to it in a way that is not healthy and is just like, I don't know, not necessary in a lot of cases. And I think there's something to being able to fully close the book and end the story on something in the online world, because it doesn't really happen. It doesn't, I mean, we're doing it on our own terms here. This is it. - That is the more that we talk about it, especially this week. The more it's cited, I get about that, is that so far this week with how well Chuckle Week has been going through this week phenomenal. It's been really good this week. We have some really exciting episodes coming up as well. Like, I think that we're going to end, and I hope that the people who listen and watch or audio listeners love you to death believe that as well is that we're leaving kind of like a good legacy. And you guys might notice that, you know, I posted about the foot and conner posted about the fact that, you know, we're doing Chuckle Week. And you guys are getting these episodes several months later. It's because we didn't want to end Chuckle's sandwich with like a series of like five remote episodes. - Yeah, yeah, we have the highest peak our most amazing guests. - Yeah, and then all of a sudden we're a lame.podcast. - Honestly, the best podcast episodes we've ever filmed on Chuckle Week in my opinion. - Yeah. - And then after that peak, we go back to, oh, we're back on Discord. And for four episodes or five or however many, it would be. - Yeah, like Chuckle Week is like, I feel like for a lot of Chuckle sandwich, so Chuckle Week is like vacation, whereas like normal Chuckle remote, Chuckle remote, is like-- - It's the nine to five. - It's like school, yeah, it's like going to school. And it's like this is like spring break. It's having one of these. So like, why, you know, would you rather end school with the year out of that school? - I have unlimited school, but no vacation. - Or vacation. - Or vacation. - Unlimited vacation. - Unlimited vacation, but also the podcast ending. - But the podcast ending. - Yeah, and it's gonna be fun to do that. For me, the latter. - Sure, and it's what they're getting. - Yeah, it's what they're getting. Yeah, but we hope that you guys really enjoy this Chuckle Week. We've got, we're gonna order them, usually with the way that we do a Chuckle Week is that we will have it go in the order that we film them. But I think that it would be more appropriate this time around is that we've released them in the order that it would be good to release them. Like in the, in not that certain guests are less quiet than others, but more in terms of the growing hype that you guys would be having. - We're gonna be edging you for two months straight. This is gonna be the longest edge ever. The strongest kegel you can imagine at the end. - Yes. - The best nut ever. - Yes, and these Megalopolis bit references were making so, gonna be sold by the time that podcast comes out. There's be a key referencing Adam Driver. I haven't even seen Megalopolis yet. So, but that's what I'm referencing, that's what we're referencing. - There's a lot of Twitter, drama, slash, politics in this episode too, which are gonna feel really outdated. - By the time this comes out, election will be over. It's October 8th right now. So, like we don't know when the election, like there's gonna be, it's almost like a time capsule of the moment that chuckle sandwich ended. And you guys were passed out in a coma. - And we drew a big dick on your face. - We did. - And then in red marker, in red permanent marker. - And we edged you for two months straight afterwards. And then you had, you came harder than you've ever come before. - It was really embarrassing too. - It's embarrassing. - You're like a tech founder going on an ayahuasca trip. - Yeah, it's growing up. - You're gonna come back and you're gonna leave your investors who believed in you so much. You're gonna leave them in the dust. You're gonna say, "I don't know what it's all about anymore." - You're as crazy as Jeremy Fragrance now. - Do you wanna announce the chuckle merch that hasn't been decided yet? - Oh, yeah. - So you assure yourself that you're gonna get it done because now it's in the episode. - We're gonna make merch. - We're making merch. - We are, yeah, the final drop. - No, we're gonna release merch. It's coming. The final chuckle merch is coming. - What would you wanna put on merch? - We haven't figured it out yet. - We still have fucking two months until this episode comes out. - More sandwiches, probably. - I'm thinking that I want to shirt this as audio listener on it, just like simple fun. - Yeah, that's fun. - That's fun, that's good. - You could help me with the font choice 'cause I feel like a good solid font. That just says audio. - I like a good font. - Like maybe like a green shirt, not a bright green, but like kind of a darker green shirt with white font text. This is audio listener on it. I don't know why green. - We'll workshop that 'cause I would not wear that. - Really? - I would wear a black shirt with white text. I don't think I'd wear anything else though. - Yeah, I only wear black shirts anyways, so maybe I'm not the best person to consult with. - I mean, a black shirt, you know what we can do? Riddle me this. Multiple colorways. - Are you kidding me? - I'm not, I'm serious. - The more choice you give people, the less decisions they make. That's a fact. - Really? - Yes. - Yes. - Yes. - If you go to the club, - At the club. - And you see them selling 50 shirts, you're probably less likely to buy one than if they just had one killer shirt. - Yeah, it's not even like they can talk about it in the comments, like the decisions we've already made. It's all vague right now. - But we got Chuck and Merch coming out. - Yes, they do. - And one of the episodes, probably not this one, but in one of the episodes, yes. In one of the episodes, we're just gonna pop in and it's gonna be us remote. And it's gonna be us current remote. And we will announce the Merch. We'll tell you how it is, what it's gonna be. Maybe we'll even be wearing the testers that they send us when we make Merch. And you guys should check that out, 'cause it'll be the last, I don't even know how long it's been since we did a Chuckle Merch drop. - Years. - Years. - Literally years since the sandwich thing. - The kid was still on it. - The kid, yeah, Charlie was still on it, yeah. Yeah, so, and that will be guys, you gotta understand, this will be the last Chuckle Sandwich Merch that will ever exist. Like I'm not, we're not fucking around here. - No, it's actually ending. - Like the Chuckle Sandwich is ending. I know that this is like a lot of your, and to be honest, I know that this is like a lot of your guys is daily routines, like, or weekly routines, I suppose. - Weekly, yeah. - Like for a lot of people, for like, I would say possibly 200,000 people at least, which is multiple stadiums worth of people. - No small fee. - Yeah, maybe even 300,000 depending on how the numbers add up. But a lot of people I think listen to this podcast weekly, and we become part of your guys' lives in the way of you listening to us every week while you clean or drive the work. And so, and we're grateful for that. - We are, and we love you. - I mean, we love you, we're honest. - Yeah, we love you. - Per, you the person that you perceive yourself as, we love you. - I love those comments where it's like, This is the perfect podcast to blank to and I'm like, oh, dude, we have such a good audience Yeah, I started that. Oh, you did I started it because the first there was like a series of like five or six episodes That I just kept pinning those comments and now they won't stop doing it. Oh And they're gonna do it for the rest of time. Yeah, yeah, I know for my entire career on YouTube Which has been full-time now for five years and is I mean since I've been making money like decent money on it Probably six or seven years at this point, which is crazy in and of itself I'll get to even think about that because when I did start I was like We'll see where it goes. I was fully prepared to go back to college after This was over and like my best case scenario in my head was like Okay, I'll come back to college in a couple years with like a good amount of savings or something Yeah, you know, that was the case. I had to make them my mom who was so so worried about that idea So what am I gonna tell my friends? I probably for a son. I don't know if I've talked to I've probably talked about this in the But it's funny whenever I think if I whether or not I've talked about something on the body I probably was almost certainly yes. Yeah, there was I remember when I first Should first start of working on an S&P live spring of 2019 my parents But they wanted me to work at the same like Tiki bar that my It was the Tiki bar at no Shobo Valley that and they wanted to work there because my sister worked there And I was just gonna be I was just they would just give me a job and it wasn't Yeah, and I was like I really It was like April at that point leading in this was for the summer they were talking about and the youth I think I made like $400 or something that month that's good of a S&P live Yeah, and I called on my mom and I was like it's not like it's not like one of those things where they could force me To work the job or whatever it was but it was like their head was in the right place and wanting me to make money, you know Everybody here should be making money somehow. Yeah, everybody listening to you're not making money or Yeah, so otherwise I will I don't know what I was gonna do is a year summer out of college So I was like let's see how I just want to just give me give me a chance here Let me let me see how this works for this summer I think I might be on to something here something might be this might be something big for me and then Like that month I made like I made like several thousand dollars that month and it was like The most money I'd ever seen in my entire fucking life it was like What the fuck is going is this this is like something they could it because I had been watching YouTube videos my whole like My whole childhood and stuff and like I tried to make gaming videos I Recently someone found a an old like comment of mine because it was a period where commenting you would get subscribers for that It was small and it was like an old comment of mine from like when I was 16 on like a jacksepticeye video and it was like man Jack this is a really funny video. You did such a good job. I wish I can make it as good gaming videos as you I wish the gaming videos that I post Consistently I'm posting and now like the one I recently posted on my channel the other day which features Yeah, here it is here This is truly the badass simulator now it's time to eat nails for breakfast without any milk Oh, that's a sponge Bob reference right there. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's like 10 years ago. It's like I'm writing I don't know what was wrong with me 10 years ago, but I was writing comments like I was like a mom I remember when I was around this age - I was trying to have like a K.Y.R. speedy or Vanoss gaming crew Yeah, so in all their comments I'd be like Man, I wish I had friends as cool as you that I could make Yeah, and then you would always get like the supper sub guys in the in the replies Yeah, and I mean that's why it was like so cool to like that summer was such a wonderful thing because I was like I just I I could not Believe that like this thing that I had thought about Like was actually might actually be happening to me. Yeah, like that That was like unbelievable and it's just a snowball effect. Yes Once that once it starts moving like it just gets bigger and bigger. Yeah gets more stressful and more stressful and it never stops and Eventually you get depressed and get on medication and You spend each night drinking yourself to sleep. I'm very happy. I don't get a drug use a lot of sleepless nights a lot of of crying crying. Yeah, this is a bummer. I Think we have done a Good job Podcast I really I really think we have I think it's a good podcast. I think it's one of the best one of the best and I think that the last thing I'd want to see is a Decline a slow decline in quality as we both huge out of it and maybe even age out of liking each other Now I think that I think that you and I have especially I would say in the last year I think you and I have gotten a lot closer. I think we have yeah, because it because to be honest a lot of people online I would just say a lot of people online say say that we're like best friends and it's like that's not like Entirely like we are friends and I would consider side to be a good friend, but like We're not we're not like this is like me hearing that the myth blusters didn't Talk to each other outside the show. Yeah for some people watch the the thing what? For people who are watching the podcast. No for I don't know you're hearing about that yourself You're hearing about that you're like you're finding this out for the first time No, no, but it's just like an interesting thing where it's like because that was the point of charcoal sandwich Originally it was it was because we had our past group and stuff that we were a part of and I didn't really know you guys You and Charlie that well, but I did want to because I knew that you guys were like you're both funny And and that's why I wanted to have charcoal sandwich because it was like first of all good Cool business thing to do to guys or and then it was like Yeah, I don't know I think I have a tendency to create opportunities to get I like to create experiences where you get closer to someone you do Yeah, check your love language. Yeah, it's like shared experiences. Yeah That's that's how I operate is shared creating forced family fun is what it's going to turn into as I go older but That is what it is. That's what it's gonna be it's gonna be forced family fun And that's exactly how my mom operates so I'm becoming her But I think that we have gotten closer and I think that I think we're gonna For at least the next 10 years we're gonna know each other and what did we do last night? We had sex sorry Sorry, oh man sorry went to fucking boa we did Not to guess who else was there, but just the way you said it made it seem like that's what you wanted me to say No, I know what and guess what we did last time like we fucking bang. We did not Hey, dude dude. Yeah, we didn't Yeah, no, we didn't have sex. We had the kaga Shima. We had the Awate and we had those snow Physicians from the scripture. Okay, they found Europeans found them when they opened up the country for import in 1800s when America came over This is like a reversal you're doing you're stuck on the sex Yeah, it's like the and you know what Charlie slimesicle was our Bimbo he was our bimbo we slotted him out last night real good. Oh, yeah We were all the kaga shima. We were getting kaga shima on his Awate if you know what I mean Yeah, we were snowing all over his beef Oh nice nice that one kind of worked when did work Worked a little bit or beef and over his no that doesn't work. Oh, but snowing on his beef Yeah, yep jerking off so we're still buddies and honestly here's the thing I think that for the longest time since I've been doing this professionally really I mean anyone who has followed me across the 10 15 different channels I have would be able to attest to the fact that I have weighed too many of them and It often feels like I don't have enough time to give love to them all equally and Something that I'm looking forward to is actually being able to spend a little more time Doing these other channels that I have been long neglecting While still being able to give chuckle sandwich a fair ending like I think that's that's something that's really special And I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, and we've and and to give context also we've known That chuckle sandwiches are going to end since the beginning of of 2024 pretty much Yeah, I think this one we had that conversation So we were kind of preparing for a while on like how we're gonna do it How will we break the news to the kids and how will we make this chuckle week a freaking awesome forced-family fun experience forced-family fun. Yeah, and so far we're doing it We're like halfway through right now. This is like the halfway point And I think all the podcasts have been a joy to film and would be a joy to listen to and They're all really long. They're going Way over time he's going long. Yeah, no there was like it's it happened in a Surfboard where we had we were like close to our with one of them and the next one was like I'm 120 and then we did like a 150 one and then we did a 141 and it's like well I think a lot of people we bring on over just great people to talk to yeah very easy to talk to just go So they're what they're we didn't want to stop Didn't want to stop we didn't want to stop That's often how I feel with you during the Oate And that's how I feel equally during my personal favorite the Kagoshima. Yeah, oh the skin on the Kagoshima Wow, it's so salty and nice. That's a Salt Lake right there. That's a salt Lake Kagoshima.

I can't Why I'm kind of thirsty Ah while chuckle sandwich journey might be coming to a close here as well as slats drink the whole fucking bottle Tucker and I's journey is not and you guys might be hearing a little bit more of that in the future That's all I'm gonna say though. Let that sit in your brain. Let you think about that Let you think about that and wonder what that mean for now. We just ask that we have like a week-long period of mourning Yes, we want you to be a little sad We want you to be a little sad when it ends. We want you to be like I'm fine. It's American From my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was right Limbo it all the boys drink a whiskey and ride Singing this will be the day that I die And that's the voice of flat in the distance This will be the day that I die But I'm not okay. I'm not okay with dying Fuck you dude This is why it's ending Because you're so fucking dense Hey You're coming over to me away from the dead man Let's not forget that your story is coming to an end next October Okay, buddy. Keep that in the back of your head. I'll be honest. I sometimes when I see that and people comment that I'm like am I actually gonna walk you guys on October 23rd like 2025 that would be really bad for that's not gonna be good for business No, I could make a really heartfelt memorial video though that with a great thumbnail and I think that I could It's going on YouTube not as a fucking wake. I gotta capitalize. You gotta pump that shit out. You taught me this You should probably like something now just in case. Yeah, I raise you from a mole rat into the boy you are today. That's so rude What mole rat? That's like the worst picture in fall. It's just the sweater you're wearing. This is your merch What do you think people are wondering like like I mean so many episodes that they're gonna be of chuckle week How much time is there left? How much time is there left? About after this one about eight. I'm pretty sure or seven or eight weeks So about two months of chuckle sandwiches left you guys have two months to mourn two months to enjoy What is left of chuckle sandwich and trust me when I say we're not we're not fucking around here, okay? We're actually we actually tried this shit Okay, we're not messing it up like we did with the hundredth episode I know some of you were a little bit disappointed in how that one went So we're trying to do our due diligence do right by our people my guy I'm doing a lot of voices today. You are you are Um, but I mean, yeah, no, it's totally shots fall the truth Yeah, I'm retiring guys. This is it. This is it. What is that? What is that? Are we what does that mean? So more to the point I was saying earlier where I've always had five too many projects that I Would really love and would be very fulfilled by being able to put more time into and treat the way I want them to be treated Every single time I'm having a moment Uh Of deep reflection. I think about um, I think about the weekly slap And I think how much of an impact I could have if I were to give that channel the time of day that I think it deserves right and more to the idea of leaving like a good Legacy on the platform we can have chuckle sandwich and on a fantastic note That leaves a legacy and that weekly slap has a legacy Yeah, I I can't get over that concept too. It's like Yeah, I mean, people are so used to every other form of media sort of ending I think it is maybe baked into the like the sort of conversation around um expectation of access Yeah, oh a lot of viewers have online, but I think that it is something It's not like slats start. You know, it's not making content or like I'm gonna stop making content or that Tucker's gonna stop making content Or the Tucker and I are gonna stop making content I think I disintegrate if like wasn't making content. I genuinely don't know what else I'd be doing otherwise Yeah, it's just like this little project this little show that we did is just kind of an end And it's like this this I'm gonna feel bad about the branding though I love the branding for so much you you can still use it for something Also have the sign I still have the sign too. You've got a sign too. You've never yeah. Are you in every way? I got a shitty a shitty one million dot Subscriber plaque and you've got the big one because they changed it. I mean fucking shorts youtubers ruined ruin the last good thing about this platform Which the fact that subscribers actually meant something and then two three years ago All of sudden shorts come out people get 10 million subscribers and then all the sudden society awards got to start saving on metal Yeah, they're like oh sorry man. We're making too many of these because the subscriber feed is being polluted by Shorts viewers that we can't that this basically means nothing basically The 100,000 subscriber award is now the size of a nickel. -Really? -Yeah. And the million one is now the, the million one which used to be big, dude. -Yeah, it was big. -It's now the size of the 100,000 one. Is that only for reprints, or is that for the new. Oh, it might be for reprints, dude. Oh, yeah, starting in August 2024, YouTube will introduce new lighter size creator awards for sub milestones. -Shorts, YouTubers. -Fuckin' room and dead. I don't want to hear it. It's probably some of you watching. Yeah, I mean, it was kind of a big deal to hit a million subscribers. It's not a real YouTube, but you're a fuckin' TikTokger. You always will be, okay? Don't come to my fuckin' turf and act like you belong. -Oh, a lot of time. -We've been doing this way longer than you, pal. When you can get more than 5,000 views on a video longer than 60 seconds, we've got 20 years. -That's when you can send me a little p.m. We're gonna eat your leg. We're gonna kill you and eat your leg. Say it with me, Shlap. -You little salt lick. -You little salt lick on there. I'm gonna take the salt lick, start shaving on your leg. -Right over here. -Wow, you're alive. Mother of fucker. I'll kill you and I'll eat your leg. Sorry. I'm really looking forward to having more time to spend with you. That's not just business oriented. I agree. I'll make. I will go out of my way to come out to New York and visit in a proper circumstances. Because a lot of time, I think one of the issues that we run into is that when we visit each other, it's like, "Oh, well, shit, what should we be doing?" Of course. That's the YouTuber mentality for any good thing you try and do for yourself. Oh, I'm in Japan right now. I might as well film all of this and not enjoy it. Yeah. A lot of times I wasn't that way, but now I'm starting to follow that. Oh, yeah, you're carrying that camera around now. Well, yeah, with the second channel thing that maybe maybe you may or may not have worked out. Just react. Just react. I want to try to do that a little bit, but I also don't know if I've got the gumption for it. The gumption? I am. Let me put it this way. Tell me if this is okay. I'm just 100% generally myself online. I feel like with a little bit of a kick up. And I just don't know if I'm not liking something. I don't know if I could, I feel like I would probably wither away after the second reaction video. So I, similarly, I'm completely ingenuine online and I still have to get wasted to react. Really? Yeah. Wait, that's actually a great idea. To get wasted. That's what you, that's what you do. Oh, give me some of that. Wait, I'm driving more for me. Your chops are like a crisp right now. I'm looking good. Honestly, I should stop drinking this. I'm cleaning them up. No, I don't do anything. Really? I haven't shaved. I know it's something that you could do though. What? Come here. Right here above the chops, like there's little hairs right there. If you get rid of those, it'll make it seem like the chops are more defined. I'm just too lazy to shave most of the time. I'll let you borrow my little shaver thing. I have one. I just don't use it. Then I shampoo my hair every day. Oh, Charlie Slimesicle hates to see me coming. Yeah, it's, he hates it. We were at Buffalo last time. Tony Slimesicle doesn't want to see me around. He was like, oh, no, oh, no, you gotta use the sea salt spray in the clay clay. He puts fucking ceramic shit in his hair. I don't know if he was, he was introducing those topics in that way. Like, I don't know if he was like, I think it was more like he was offering it up, like like a, a willing little, little elf. Yeah, like he was like. Sea salt spray, try my sea salt spray. Ooh, try my ceramic. Try my ceramic. Try my ceramic. Clay. Clay, put in fucking mud in my hair. Try my ceramic clay. Clay, we got rid of them. Clay, I put them in my hand. This is what Charlie sounds like these days. Since he's been in LA. Yeah. How do I name his Charlie? Changes him. He's got a mullet now. He had a mullet. No, he doesn't. That was a mullet. A mullet. Is that a mullet, dude? It wasn't a mullet. It wasn't a mullet. No, it wasn't. I don't know if you, Charlie. What do you think a mullet is? A mullet. That's a good question. It comes, and then down. His hair was down to his, to, to, to, to, to, his traps, dude. And he's got good traps. I was sitting next to him. That's him like yesterday. We were sitting across. His, his hair was, was, was. I was sitting to the right of that arguing about this, man. Cause now I'm getting pissed off. I was right next to him. I was the closest to him. Last night. We did the Kagashima without you. What? Yeah. Yeah. Two person. What the hell? Player Kagashima. Imagine. Wait a second, but when you went off, she was happy. We played your game when you went off to the bathroom. I split him in two. Oh, no. That's it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, yeah. It sliced into threes. Sure did. Damn. Also, um, also in the news, one of the mayors in Mexico had his head chopped off and displayed on his own car. Six days into taking office. Fucked. Crazy fucked. Yeah. Fucked up shit happening. That's fucked up, dude. Fucked up shit.
