Wet Hair and Smoothies00:04:08
Well, I'm going to do this.
I haven't done Palsy either yet.
If you're listening to this, the album is out now.
Smile.
Get in the tub now.
Capital D exclamation point.
Please don't click off the video.
I'm serious.
We're going to be so funny after this.
I promise you.
It's going to be so interesting.
This is not an episode.
I'm going to show my boobs.
Stay.
Get some every time.
No.
She's never showed them.
Three times for people.
Oh, yeah.
First time sorry.
We got to get her story straight.
Ladies and gentlemen, survive the self-suck accident.
I am back and we have a legendary episode that's don't really.
No, it's funny for me.
I got a blast about that.
We have a legendary episode for you because we have a very special guest.
Mauricio Miranda, baby.
That's why.
Everybody's been asking finally for two years.
And I've decided today is the day to come out and be on the podcast.
Yeah, I'm Hassan Piker.
We switched positions today, as you can see.
And we're also joined by, go ahead, do it.
Joined by Porter Robinson.
Hello.
Hello.
Cutie was late again.
Yes, Cutie was late.
But not wet.
Yeah.
I'm so dry.
I'm so dry.
And I was helpful.
I messaged Porter.
I usually don't help.
So this is like a big thing for you.
You could have helped by showing up wet, actually, because that's my normal tendency.
I would have felt a little more sane if there had been another wet-haired person in the mix.
Yeah.
So you admitted you're a self-proclaimed wet bitch.
100%.
Yeah.
I'm late constantly and I'm fresh out of the shower.
Why were you on time?
Sorry, I thought you were on time.
Why were you on time today?
And not to air you out, but I heard you were late yesterday.
I was the compound.
So I was like fully expecting you to be like at least 30 an hour late, which is fine.
Yeah.
But you were on the dot 2 p.m.
Not only was I late there, but I got there and like ended up fucking around with the stream setup for like three to four hours before we actually got started.
So yeah, you guys got my good side today, 100%.
Okay.
But I'm typically wet because, well, the reason I'm on time today is because my team like lied to me in my calendar about when I needed to be here.
Dude, that's so streamer coded.
I've worked with streamers behind the scenes so many times and the amount of times that like it's become common practice to like tell people 30 minutes before the hour before because streamers are notoriously the latest people.
We told cutie the pop was at 9 a.m. today.
I'm here.
All right.
You guys taught me about something right before we went live that I've never heard of before.
Drink autism.
Can you dive into that?
I like I like different temperatures.
I like different levels of sugar.
I like different salty.
I like something sweet.
Sometimes the smoothie is like OP if you have a smoothie available because it's like you like a smorgas of a smorgasbord.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's like I don't know.
I think that I mean are you are you drink neurotypical?
I think so.
Yeah.
I find myself often with multiple drinks in front of me at dinners because I just want to check all the, I feel like there's multiple boxes you need to check.
It's like you need to hydrate, obviously.
And then for me, it's like, I like to have like an alcoholic beverage typically and then a caffeinated beverage.
I'm just saying I need to add.
I wonder who you need like a caloric one.
There's a protein one, hot one, cold one.
Like, yeah.
I wonder who decided that you can order multiple dishes, but you only really order one drink when you're out.
You know what I mean?
You get the water variant, but.
That's kind of how I knew I made it is I stopped being shy when I ordered drinks.
I was like, ooh, I'll have an orange juice and this and that and a coffee and a water.
I made it.
I made it.
If they want to stop me from ordering like a Diet Coke and a water and a hot tea, they're going to have to fucking kill me.
Yeah, I'm not.
My chat makes fun of me all the time because I do my baking, baking streams is all I do on the weekend.
And I almost have an island of beverages.
Yeah.
But cutie, we have something we got to dive into before we get into our amazing guest.
Britney Moment in Life00:04:56
I have something that I have to air out with you.
Is it Halsey sampling Lucky and then Brittany going on Instagram and being like?
Oh, did you know?
No, I stopped that.
Wait, wait, what is the tea here?
Did you see that?
No, I didn't.
Okay.
Number one, I loved Lucky growing up.
Best song ever.
She's very lucky.
She's a star.
One of her most emotional songs, I think.
So good.
I'm also reading Britney's book right now.
So it's like a moment for me.
I'm having a Britney moment again in my life.
I used to impersonate Britney Spears.
Which professional.
You just aired yourself out.
Let's see it.
Oh, give us a little lucky.
So it's not good.
So I'm the only one that applied, I think.
It was on a critical time.
Was Miss Spears an application process?
It was on a cruise ship.
So, you know, they're desperate and I was awful, but I had a great attitude about it.
And so I think they just like felt bad telling me that I should go.
Is there a voice?
Give us the voice.
Come on, give us a little discussion.
Number one, I haven't done it in years.
Number two, I don't.
Then why do you look so delighted right now?
I think you want to do it.
I'm so ready to bring up.
No, because I love Brittany and I'm just excited to be talking about it.
Just give us a little bit of time.
I can't, Will.
I couldn't sing it then.
I can't sing it now.
Okay.
I need to go to a class and learn how to actually sing it because people always ask me for that.
As soon as I talk about it, they're like, do it.
And I'm like, I don't know how I got the job.
I'm not going to pass down.
I feel like it's the kind of thing that you can't bring up and not deliver on all of it.
Like, I think that's like bragging.
I have three kids.
Where?
Oh, yeah, totally.
Show me pictures.
No.
Just give us a little.
I don't.
No.
Anyway, so, so this Halsey sampled Lucky in her new song that just came.
The music video came out yesterday.
Beautiful music video.
And she's like, in the music video, she's playing a pop star and also showing a child like watching that pop star and like looking up to them, right?
Okay.
Because Lucky's just that song about being like, everyone thinks I'm so cool, but I'm like really sad and lonely, you know?
And she cries, cries, cries.
Yeah.
And her lonely nights.
Yeah.
And so Halsey makes this music video and then there's this Instagram post from Britney that's like, how dare Halsey make fun of me?
Oh, like make me look like a flippant pop star, which if you watch the music video, I don't believe is what's happening.
So we're like, uh-oh, Brittany.
But then all of a sudden, Britney deletes the post and posts another thing.
You're like, JK, I love Halsey.
That wasn't me on my Instagram account.
That was somebody else.
That was somebody else.
That's crazy.
We don't know.
Well, we know.
We have to find this hacker.
I think this is priority number one.
Priority number one.
Expose Britney's hacker.
So what do we think happened?
Brittany launched and then someone from her team was like, no, no, no, Britney, it's a tribute.
I don't know what that is.
I think that's 100% ideally what happened.
But let's afford her the plausible deniability around it.
Like, for sure.
You know, these hackers have gotten very different these days.
Brittany alone.
It could also be her dad, I guess.
Chris Crocker.
Yeah.
Am I dead naming?
Am I dead naming here?
I don't know what Chris Crocker's current situation is, but I would love to have that.
I would love to have them on your new Chris Crocker's current situation.
Where have they been?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Gabe is.
Jamie, people.
I used to watch Chris Crocker on the regular.
Yeah, that was one of those legendary internet videos that kind of just everybody saw.
Yeah.
It was definitely a moment.
What was your real problem before?
Oh, my real problem.
I don't know if you remember this, but I have a $10,000 bet with a host that isn't here.
It's a fan.
Name Austin Show.
And for a year.
Wait.
Oh, my God.
I was here.
Kara Cunningham.
Okay.
Beautiful.
Glow up.
Kara Cunningham.
Oh my God, not dead.
I always get so nervous.
But the black and white photo, I assumed dead, and that scared me really bad.
She's still Still popping.
Up on YouTube?
Oh, Instagram.
No?
No.
I miss her.
Kara Cunningham.
Yeah.
Shout out to David.
Little did we know.
Shouts out to her.
Kara Cunningham.
We hope you're doing well.
No, you pulled up a Republican Twitter page with the Constitution as its image.
That's not it.
No, no, no.
Anyway, as I was saying, $10,000 bet with our other host, Austin Show.
The bet for those of you who don't watch this.
That kind of tastes like chicken noodle soup.
Whoever, whatever happens first, Austin Show moving to LA or you flying on a plane.
This bet has been now been going since we started.
We started to fly on airplanes?
No.
No.
But you promised me you were.
I didn't.
You promised me that you were.
I would say you did.
Nah, I didn't promise.
And I know Peakies were up.
And what?
And what happened?
I got scared.
And you drove to your family reunion.
16 hours.
Yeah.
And now Austin's moving to LA.
No, he's not.
That's not happening.
Don't worry, Quick.
You have years.
Yeah, we haven't seen him in so long.
Where are you at with that?
Lil Wayne Interview Chaos00:10:27
Like, how are you feeling?
What do you want to have happen?
I want, you know what I want?
I want to go to Vermont or Oregon because I want apple cider donuts.
I love the fall, and so I'm trying to use that.
Dream that?
I'm trying to use that as my starter.
And my appetizer.
Do you have any phobias?
I know.
You could just make them.
I'm phobias.
I don't know that I. Wait, Rika, do I have any phobias?
I don't think I do.
Yeah.
Certain feels.
Well, okay, I do have one thing that I really don't like.
You know the feeling of like you're in middle school, you're in high school, whatever.
You have a piece of paper on the desk, right?
And you're writing on it, and there's just like a little bit of like sand or dust between the paper and the desk.
The feeling of like you like you move the paper like a centimeter and you hear like oh my god.
This segment that we have planned later is gonna absolutely destroy me.
What?
Yeah.
I can't believe how horrible this is.
The construction paper sand challenge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's it's should we just dive into that?
Let's not.
No, we should let's give portal.
No, no, here's the thing though.
With phobias, it's exposure therapy.
You just got to dive into it.
So cutie's going to get on a plane and you're going to get me a piece of paper and some sand.
I think that's...
I think it's last time.
See, Twitter loaded so hard.
Like it was top of mind.
Like, did that happen to you recently?
Well, she mentioned, no, it's like, it's the first thing I think about when I wake up.
Yeah.
First thing I think about in the morning, last thing I think about before I go to bed.
Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be full circle when you sample that noise in a song.
Oh, and then you feel ultimate exposure therapy.
Yeah, benaural, like get multi-microphone set up.
It's bothering me thinking about it.
It's gross, right?
It's like a nails on a chalkboard thing.
It's like a sensory integration thing.
Cutting cardboard is the one for me.
Oh, really?
That noise is like.
Oh, yeah.
The fact that it's kind of multi-layered is gross.
And it makes like a squeak.
It's like a perfect register then.
Yeah.
What does it make me bite my finger?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like reminds me.
It kind of makes me make it look like I'm pooping myself.
I have a question for Porter and Porter only.
Good, good.
How is it?
So I feel like, because me, I'm a baker.
So sometimes people will be like, cutie, rate my cookies.
And I'm like, I don't fucking care.
Do people do that with you in music like all the time?
Wait, how are people asking you to rate their cookies?
They'll send me a picture.
And I'm like, good cookie.
People do send me their music.
And honestly, for the most part, I don't, I don't really, I don't always listen.
I'm going to be like, it's the thing is that music is a temporal medium.
It's like time.
And so it's like, you can look at a picture of cookies and kind of be like, thumbs up, thumbs down.
You still probably don't want to do that.
But like sitting down and really like taking, like taking in a song also like a first listen is also hard to figure out whether or not it's that the song is for you.
Like it's like music is like an investment, I think.
So yeah, so I think it's kind of more about finding the artists who you trust and like investing your time into listening to their songs because like, if you, if you generally trust their worldview, like you think they're not gonna waste your time.
When you, when you put three or four listens in that was so deep yeah, my bad, my bad, you know we, uh I somebody handed me a Usb at my listening party the other day and we did plug it in, not into my computer, but just like a random throwaway Macbook because like, I think you can, you can like implode someone's computer with one of those right, that's how Britney's hacker did it.
Yeah, so can you give a little more context about that?
You had an album listening party, like two nights ago, because an album your album just came out.
Yeah, I don't know if we've mentioned that.
We're gonna broach that.
I want to finish this and then we'll I was gonna say, did like a random fan, just like give it to you like, or how did that happen?
So I was on marsh, it was Will and I were there.
By the way wait, are you gonna play your music to me today?
Yeah, do we do that?
I don't have any music.
Well, your style is really giving musician.
Yeah, you're the first person.
You're the first person to ever tell me that.
God, that's so great.
Thank you, it's very sweet.
People always think like oh, you look like you're in a rock band or something.
Yeah that's, that's sick.
I'm not.
I'm not gatekeeping the musician.
Look from, from anybody.
You are a huge fashion inspo for me, so you have no idea how much you used to be.
You're kind of.
You're kind of.
This is the apprentice has become the master here recording this right.
Like, this is all on camera.
Okay, I don't know why not.
How did you get the usb?
Because this is crazy.
Somebody just like shove it in your face and you were like, people do that sometimes.
Um, they handed it to my friend, Luke from the group Wavedash.
Yeah, I was there.
I put him on the wave dash.
He's a fan now.
Okay, at that show like, I feel like Wavedash could go hard in the gym.
You look like you hit the gem.
You look well.
They played a lot of my favorite genre, which is an unofficial genre that I called homo house, which is like if you give me some gay house music, i'm there with it, booty shaken.
Yeah, there was a lot of that that night.
Yeah yeah yeah that's, that's the best, that is the best job, it's the best genre.
That's like the peak of music it's.
It was crazy like being into electronic music and growing up in north Carolina and like, had it had this like gay reputation and it's like yeah, like gay people have been like five years ahead of everybody else for sure.
Yeah yeah um wait, what was the question about?
Usb was good, it was kind of cool.
How did it get to you?
It went to Luke from Wavedash and then we brought it back to the Airbnb and just plugged in and listened to it and there's some like edits of some Skrillix songs and some edits of like Wavedash songs and it was.
It was like there was some plausible stuff on there.
I'm not like, i'm not breaking out the checkbook, i'm not signing anybody but um, it was, it was pretty cool.
Yeah, cool little vibe, that's fun.
Um, I think the thing that happens more often is.
I'm just like I am digging obsessively deep on stuff on like Soundcloud and Beatport and like yeah, i'll find somebody that has 200 followers and become obsessed with them and then message them like hey, i'm so sorry, can you send me this thing from this mix you did three years ago and they're like you.
Like you were my first concert.
You were literally the goat of crate digging.
Seriously, like, fucking, you've been on like James James James and like so many like Soundcloud, like deep cuts, too.
I have like, I have a lot of like musician friends and DJ friends, and for sure, your reputation among our group is like a goat crate digger.
Like, that's awesome.
I feel like you always just like elevate, like you said, these people with like 200 followers.
Like a YouTube video, this song has like a thousand views.
It's just like I hear in your sets.
I'm like, how the fuck did you find this?
Thank you.
It's just me being like a huge nerd and being insanely obsessed with like digging deep.
It's like us nerds.
No, yeah, yeah.
Hey, thank you.
That's like everything, everything is for the nerds.
Like, it's weird.
Like, I feel like otaku became this like bad word or became like this reputation for being wait.
What's otaku?
It's just like the shut-ins.
Yeah, Japanese word for like somebody who's obsessed with anything.
Welcome to the NHK.
Is that Otaku?
Who is that?
There's another word.
Yeah, he's like, nice.
We're there.
Japanese lessons today, too.
Okay.
It's nice.
You got this.
This is kind of a nice, nice match here.
I don't fit in very often.
We got to digress.
You have a new album out.
I do.
I do.
Called Smile.
It's called Smile.
Cool.
We want tickets.
Me and Lilwyn.
Capital D. Exclamation point.
Unicode vibes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kamoji vibes.
I've never seen you perform.
And me and Ludwig bought, he was really excited.
Ludwig bought tickets and he was like, I got to do a japoro.
So we'll be there.
That makes me happy.
Thank you.
Yeah.
A lot of emo vibes.
I wasn't expecting.
I know.
I wasn't expecting it either, actually.
It's like that's crazy because you made it.
I know.
I know.
That's the thing that I feel like I didn't get this until I started getting better at music.
But I thought that artists just like picked what they were going to make, knew how to make it and then made it.
And the real process is just so much more messy.
Like I just, you start messing around with one idea and it takes a left turn and all of a sudden I'm there's like an emo town and I'm like, I'm feeling something here.
So I'm going to stay here.
Yeah.
Like it's never by design for me.
Like I was trying to make shit that felt like kind of like the poppy electronica side of like warped tour music.
That was my initial vision for it.
I was like, and that's very cheerleader.
Yeah, exactly.
You know your stuff.
Okay.
Hold on.
I'm feeling very welcome today.
Yeah.
I'm feeling very welcome.
Oh, I was, I'm ready for this.
Yeah.
Wow.
Amazing.
Yeah.
You were at the listening party.
Yeah, for sure.
And I knocked over like six people to get a piece of the oh, yeah.
Dude, he was like, who handed it to you?
It was.
It was thrown.
It was thrown.
I believe you threw it.
Really?
I went for it and I missed it.
And someone saw how vehemently I had been trying to get one.
And they shamefully handed it to me.
Like, you want this more than I do.
Wow.
If there had been a video of that moment, that would be your baseball.
Like, a grown man topples over like a four foot nine, four foot nine waiver girl.
And it was not my proudest moment.
Yeah, yeah.
I definitely threw both.
It was the letter I in the entirety of the letter I.
It's a long strip.
There is one thing I wanted to ask you about the album, though, that was shocking to me.
You have one of the most unlikely features, like flabbergasted.
Lil Wayne showed up on one of the songs.
What?
Yes.
And it kind of sounded like he was calling you.
How did that happen?
Yeah, it wasn't Lil Wayne calling me.
It's an interview that he gave.
It's an old YouTube video.
It kind of went like, went Facebook viral back in the day.
Okay.
Of Lil Wayne kind of answering questions in an interview about his lean addiction.
Is that the Miss Katie?
I'm a gangsta one?
No, but he does mention Katie Couric in this interview.
He says, like, I was on Katie Courick with 60 minutes.
Like, were you basically the interviewer is pressing him, like, what's what's in your cup?
What are you drinking?
Yeah.
And he's like, he's like, he's like, I have drinks autism.
Bone prof. Yeah.
You need to have one.
I got nervous.
I had the miso and the cup.
You need one walkie slush.
You need to have one.
Yeah.
And so he's being pressed by the interview about what's in the cup.
And he's like, well, I kind of put the cup down.
And the interviewer was like, oh, that's a beautiful thing.
Like, you're, you're, you're not trying to fix your lean addiction.
And Lil Wayne's like, it's not a beautiful thing because you don't know what's in my cup and suck my dick and fuck you.
It's just this, like, it's like he's being very unagreeable, but he's also being really catchy.
Yeah, like everything he says sounds like music to me in that interview.
So I was trying to do the like, I don't know, like Midwest emo over Drake and Josh clip.
Like, do you ever see any of those videos that went around?
It would be like people playing emotional guitar music over a clip from like a like TV.
I haven't seen that.
I feel like that's a genre that you didn't know you needed in your life.
I know.
I feel like the entire album is actually very much up to the video.
Typing Lyrics by Accident00:08:32
I know.
I haven't listened to it yet.
I like to, I do whole album listens in my tub.
Yeah.
Oh, that's really nice.
So I like literally set it aside and then I do my whole album.
Well, I'm going to do this.
I haven't got palsy either yet.
If you're listening to this, the album is out now.
Smile.
Get in the tub now.
Capital D exclamation point.
Please don't click off the video.
I'm serious.
We're going to be so funny after this.
I promise you.
It's going to be so interesting.
This is not an album.
I'm going to show my boobs.
Stay.
Get them every time.
Damn.
No.
She's never shown them.
I'm going to get three times for people.
Oh, yeah.
First time sorry.
We got to get our story straight.
All right.
Yeah.
So the album is out.
And anyway.
The other thing I learned at that show that was mind-boggling to me.
You're the fastest typist I've ever seen in my life.
Dude, I was bricking it.
I was bricking it on stage.
Dude, it was like that was like bricking it.
Yeah, that was impressive.
Seriously, you're like so fast.
That was crazy.
That's the opposite of how I feel.
So, okay, so for viewers for context, what happened was we had my album cover like printed out in this big, what is it, a big sheet or whatever?
Big old banner.
Yeah.
We had a projector and we had Microsoft Word open and I was just typing like, I feel like a little lyrics to this and the words would come up like projected on top.
Like live typing lyrics.
What are you, 120 words per minute?
Be honest.
Should we get out the he would have to sit off camera, I guess?
Wait, wait, I have my laptop here, right?
We need to be a typist.
We need this.
Yeah.
We actually took each other aside and like, is he typing that?
There's no way it's we should put, we should put this on something.
Not only typing, but you were like resizing fonts and like using alt codes with a smiley face.
I was like, what the fuck?
How are you doing so quickly?
Yeah, okay.
So those that was accidental.
The different like font sizes, that was happening by itself.
I don't know what was happening.
That was some like I was not doing that on purpose.
It was pissing me off.
That was deliberate.
I thought you were in the matrix.
Here's the album by the way.
Oh, where's our little thing?
Remember, we have that little stand.
Oh, it's right there.
Yay!
You can try it.
This will work.
Might be too big.
Speed typist.
Wait, what's the Wi-Fi?
That looks great in the frame.
I don't know if it'll sit though.
Get Kaya in here to knock it over.
You want to just lay it flat on the table, maybe?
Yeah.
Does that look good, game?
Yeah, that looks sick.
Okay, so wait, was speedtypist.com?
Yes.
I think so.
Speed typist?
I have no idea.
But you were doing this while a listening party was happening, which I want to talk to you about also because you mentioned it was your first listening party.
It's like we don't want to do the typing game.
Okay.
No, no, we don't.
I was drilling you.
We were doing the air.
Porter, we have drink autism.
They have ADHD.
Yeah, I have severe ADHD.
I'm going to go ahead and say a diagnosis.
I got it.
It's very conducive to podcasting.
Yeah.
We need to get him some internet.
That's true.
A hotspot.
Dude, thank God this isn't live.
Yeah, while it's working, I will distract everyone by singing Pink Pony Club.
So we'll do.
All right, he's pulling it.
What metrics do we want?
We could do a 30 seconds test, medium text, easy text, hard text, benchmark, certificate, tricky spelling.
Maybe just middle of the road.
Medium.
By the way, I got to turn off my notifications one time by that guy.
Okay.
Okay, cool.
Mike, you know me.
My camera's broken.
While he's hitting that up, I didn't know it was called Deco Den one word.
I thought it was called Deco, and you went to a den to do it.
She's starting like a.
I'm starting a Deco Den business.
Sorry.
Okay, we are ready.
We'll let you focus.
Okay.
Hold on.
Get this show.
We're going to see your words permitted here.
Don't choke.
This would be really embarrassing.
Because you guys are being too supportive.
So I need to like.
Put it on something then.
Okay.
Whoever wins.
No, she's not going to win.
She can't type.
Whoever's slowest, whoever's slowest has to do their Britney Spears impression.
It's going to be me after slashing and I can't do it.
No, no, no.
I like that.
Whoever's slowest has the accuracy.
Oh, fuck.
We're both dyslexic.
Okay.
Yep.
Hit it.
Oh, my God.
He's joking.
I am choking.
He's absolutely joking.
We might hear Porter do Brittany Spears.
American needs to be.
I'm warming up.
I'm warming up.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, now.
Wait, dude.
No!
What?
I can't believe this is happening.
Oh, my God.
The pressure was too much.
I'm taking off my rings.
Oh.
What did he get?
Oh, show speed results.
Oh, no.
It's loading.
Click the button.
There's an ad.
Wow.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can automate the entire M to M process.
Wait, best of three, please.
Best of three.
The internet needs you to sing Brittany.
What's the result?
I just choked so fucking hard.
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus.
That's crazy because you were typing in front of like 500 people.
I know.
Yeah, and you didn't miss anything.
There's so many.
Yeah.
But it was still very impressed.
Okay, clearly the site sucks, right?
Yeah, wait, no, no, no.
You're just trying to get out of your results.
This is the longest ad ever.
This is crazy.
Give them their promo.
Don't let a dated card hold you back.
You just developed Amazon Q developer.
Damn, Amazon.
I saw Lily Picchu come on here and do an Australian accent, and I wanted to.
I was like, let me do it.
Please.
Let me come on here and hit it.
Okay.
We'll have accent.
You still hit later.
I only hit 76 words per minute.
There's no way.
But with 89% accuracy, 68.
Dude, 68 words per minute.
Does accuracy matter to us?
Well, it will multiply your accuracy by your time.
So your score is 68.
68.
All right.
I can't beat that.
I can't beat that.
Am I?
I will, Cutie.
Got to.
Let's just do Cutie and Porter.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, because Cutie's going to do her impression of Britney Spears.
Or, Cutie, if you lock the fuck in.
Oh, shit, my bad.
You're about to be a hero to the entire internet if you lock in one time, Cutie.
Dude, the average typist is 36.
Porter.
I fell off.
I fell off.
You had four typos, dude.
This is so, this is not good.
Okay, you got this, cutie.
I need you to summon something deep in the middle.
Wait, 30-second test, medium test.
That's it.
Summon something deep.
Oh, your hands are shaking.
Okay.
Wait.
Has it started?
Okay, okay.
It starts as soon as you can.
Yes, yes, you have to.
I'm so nervous.
Okay.
Cutie!
She tapped out!
I didn't think I got it anymore.
The first thing she did.
Okay, yes, yes, yes.
That's a really hard word.
Aposum sleep.
It's ogre.
Bye.
All right.
Shut up.
Don't say tail is a myth.
Here, I'll read it to you.
Post-adult opossums.
Wait.
I just feel opossum.
Oh, fuck.
Cannot support their wait for now.
Oh, God.
Wait, yeah.
There's another three-minute ad.
I'm going to.
Calls!
We'll edit this out.
44 typos.
That's good.
Wait.
Can I do it without typo?
Can I do it with typo?
No, but that will lower your score.
Yeah.
Kitty.
A little Britney.
Just a little Britney.
A little Brittany.
Come on.
Give us a quick Britney.
Yeah.
Oh, baby, bam, bang, baby.
That's it.
Thank you.
That was what I had in the chambers while I was going to do that same line, and I was going to do the same thing.
Taylor Swift Virtual Vibes00:15:12
I started clapping because I felt like that's what I would have needed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you guys.
You didn't clap because it was good?
No, it was good.
Okay, so I get a feature.
Yeah, so she was not happy with...
Here's the thing.
I think when people like lash out at somebody, especially over the internet, I think 99% of the time they're kind of showing their own like weak point.
They're kind of showing the thing that they're the way that they've been hit where it hurts.
You know what I'm saying?
Like when 99% of the time when I see someone like kind of saying I'm cringe or jumping down my throat over whatever it is, it's like my Japan influences.
Like I'll look at their profile and they're all into anime shit.
You know what I mean?
It's like they're just jealous that you're living the life.
Yeah.
And it's like people hate to see somebody else be perceived the way that you don't want to be perceived.
You know where I get nasty?
This is so funny, but I always like get this weird feeling about people that like self-invite.
Like I'll be like, why are they always inviting themselves?
Why are they invited?
And I get annoyed and I'm like, oh, it's because I always feel left out.
Isn't that sad?
Anyway, thanks for feeling sorry for me.
You did the first thing you said when me and Will were at the album listening party last night.
You said, where was my invite?
Yeah, where was my invite?
No, it's like cool though.
No, it's like, it's like, I was like so busy.
I was so busy.
You know, watching someone to clubs or do shit.
What are your album listening parties like?
Not from them.
This is the first one ever, actually.
So I was going to say, like, the reason the whole typing thing came up is like, you mentioned that that was your first album listening party.
And it's the first one that I've been to.
I think the first one you've been to, too.
I definitely didn't know how to like consume it because it felt like a show.
But you weren't performing.
Yeah, I wasn't performing.
But I feel like you kind of also had that vibe where you're like, I feel like I should be performing right now because on stage with those people, but like you're like, we're just listening.
So I'm curious, like, what was that like for you?
Like, yeah, it was, so I saw, like, I watched Billie Eilish's listening party that she did for Hit Me Soft and Hard.
And it was sort of a similar vibe.
Like, she had the music playing and she was just kind of like running around and mouthing the lyrics and just, it was purely energy.
People fucking loved it.
Yeah, yeah.
It worked, you know?
And it was like, it kind of reminded me of how a lot of like modern like hip-hop shows, it'll like a lot of the people aren't performing each word of the song, but there's a lot of just like until I watched Lil Dirk's concert recently.
It's like 90% backtrack.
Yeah, And like sometimes it's like, that's almost like a DJ set in a way, you know?
It's more about the vibes and it's more about the energy.
Why is that?
What? DJ said.
Why did Lil?
No, I know DJ, but why did Lil Dirk not sing his songs?
Yeah.
Why does he just say like, yeah.
Some people hate it and some people like love it.
Like I feel like in the like vamp world, like Playboy Cardi and all the Ken Carson, all the runoff around that, like people don't want to see the artist like carefully delivering every word.
They just want the vibes.
They just want to like range.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like about hearing the actual MP3 file loud as fuck and going crazy.
You know, it's almost like performing it live.
Like the audio won't sound as like lit as it was before.
I want to be a rapper now.
That would be huge.
You actually made.
Didn't you make a diss track about me once?
Yeah, I did.
I'm a pretty good writer, but I just, I would need a makeover, I think.
Well, the listening party was awesome and it felt very full circle for me because I told you, I saw you when you were 19 in North Carolina.
I am now 35 years old.
Oh, 35.
Okay.
Or 34.
Oh, ow.
I gave myself a lot.
I saw you when you were 19.
The HGAP wasn't crazy at the time.
The HGAP was three years at the time.
There's laws for that.
You're fine.
You're fine.
It was a Romeo and Juliet law.
It was a Romeo and Juliet law.
Oh, my God.
But it was crazy because I had a British friend who was like, that is crazy.
Rat gap.
Yeah.
A rabid consumer of you.
And he basically spoke about you like you were a prodigy.
So we went to see you and you were as delivered.
And now years later, we're going to your listening party.
And I'm a huge fan, but Marsh is the biggest fan.
And he made us promise not to embarrass him alone with you because he was nervous.
But I have to talk to Cutie in the kitchen for a second.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Let's fucking do it.
Hit me.
What do you got?
What do you got?
Guys, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know this was happening.
I also didn't know this was happening.
I still don't know what is happening.
Is it just us?
Yeah, it's just us for a while.
Okay, hit me.
I don't know.
What should I say?
I mean, you've played it very, very cool.
Like, obviously, if I saw you in the streets, I would immediately clock.
I'd be like, this person definitely listens to my music.
You think so?
Oh, I have what?
I give like yes.
Okay.
Yes, you definitely give Porter a listener in a very good way.
I like your style is fucking awesome.
Like I said, the fucking apprentice became the master today.
You look amazing.
Yeah.
That's why they brought me here.
No, I mean, I definitely was super nervous going into it because, yeah, I've just been like a huge fan for a super long time.
I think I started listening to your shit like 2017, 2019.
I caught the Tail End of the Worlds era.
Okay.
And so it's like a little late shelter or was shelter does at the time?
It was like late shelter.
And then Virtual Self was Virtual Self.
And that's like, I mean, that shit.
Is that your favorite?
That's for sure my favorite.
Just because I grew up on very similar stuff.
Like, I didn't realize growing up, like being nine, 10 years old, spamming DDR that I was being exposed to like trans and techno and stuff.
Just and like, and then the LimeWire era came out.
And so eventually early kind of like EDM was really influential for me.
Yeah.
So virtual self like spoke to me so hardcore.
So I'd be remiss to not bring it up.
Yeah.
That's on like nurture was my shit too.
I fucking love nurture.
Went to like so many of those shows.
Yeah.
Seconds guys.
And then smiles sick as fuck.
Oh, awesome.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
Yeah, actually, my name is Rika, my wife, she's like, I think Virtual Self might be her favorite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And her dad loves Virtual Self more than anybody I've ever seen.
He, he, that sounds cool as fuck.
He is really cool.
Well, he actually, like, he like lived in Japan in the 90s.
And that's how that's how Rika came about was Rika's dad living in Japan in the 90s.
And that's how she was like made up.
Yeah, yes.
That's how we got her.
That's how we got Rika.
He, and he was, like, in the military, but I think he was also like going out, going clubbing and stuff.
So he was like going to clubs in Japan and hearing like Captain Jack and all this like Euro dance, bubblegum stuff, erotic and all this other great Euro dance.
So he loves the virtual self.
Okay.
And speaking on that subject too, as far as next era, like it's time.
Time for Euro Dance Porter.
I kind of did it when I was 15, but I will say I did.
No, but like now to like really bring like the Euro Dance like revival in the West.
Just fucking that, George.
Wait, I do have a collab with Wave Dash that's coming out.
It's just like.
Is that coming out?
Yeah.
Are you leaking that right now?
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
I fucking love that song.
Thank you.
I just assumed we'd never hear it.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think that I think that, you know, they're cooking up like another body of work right now.
But the plan is to release that.
You just made me so happy.
Yeah.
I love that song.
They inspired the shit out of me because Wave Dash, they were the first people under the age of like, or like first non-millennials, I guess, that I saw on stage, like DJing, like Cascada every time we touched, like playing those like they do.
Like I feel, I thought that was like a kind of like a millennial cringe nostalgia thing.
But they're like, I think it's like come back in like a very real way because like it's for a lot of people, it's kind of novel now that so much time has passed, I think.
But it is for sure the shit I grew up on.
I'm 28.
So like I was also kind of legitimate.
How old are you?
I'm 32, baby.
Yeah.
I'm like, I got two years on you.
Yeah.
So I have the pass to say millennial cringe.
Yeah.
That's my whole life.
That's my lifestyle.
Yeah.
Fuck, what are we talking about?
Oh, yeah.
But so when Wave Dash was like surprise guest introduction, why didn't we play that at the listening party?
I don't know.
They weren't on stage with me.
We should have played our collab.
Yeah.
Wave Dash.
Y'all fell off.
They messed up.
Yeah.
But so when they were setting up, I was like, oh, you're going to love Wavedash and Will.
They play a bunch of like that OG rave shit.
Yeah, that's my shit right there.
Yes.
They're sick.
And he's a fan now.
That's awesome.
I should have brought them along.
I didn't know what the vibes were coming here.
This is just, we're.
Yeah, you love when people invite themselves.
I like, I like, do, I, I genuinely do.
That's the thing is once they're there, I like it.
I think I just sit there and I envy it, and I'm like, why are they here?
And then I'm like, do you wish you had the ability to self-invite them?
I wish I had like the confidence.
But when you see somebody else do it, it feels like, how, like, it feels like how dare you.
And then I see them glowing and I'm like, I wish I lived that.
I wish I was them.
Judy, how many times did you go to the Airs tour?
What?
Three?
Three times?
Three times.
I'm trying to go a fourth time, but I have a theory that she's going to extend and come back down to California because the Aries tour is supposed to end in Vancouver.
Yeah.
But indulge me.
I'm ready.
I love it.
On her Instagram, she thanks the city every time she leaves it.
She's like, thanks so much, brahma, mama.
And she never posted a thank you to LA.
And if she extends her tour by two weeks, she's coming back.
Yeah.
So if she comes back down to LA, if she extends her tour by two weeks and her tour is longer than Harry Styles, she's a petty bitch.
Why wouldn't she go longer than Harry Styles?
Love her for that.
Also, the entire set has changed.
Also, her original film was filmed at SoFi.
So it would make sense to refilm at SoFi now that the set's changed and the dates are available.
And it would be on her birthday.
I feel like you need, I think you need one of those poster boards with a bunch of like different pins and some string.
And I think that would help you figure out what she's going to do next.
You don't know this.
You actually shout out Taylor Swift on the album.
I did.
I did say bitch on Taylor Swift at one point on the album.
Cool.
Yeah, I did.
I'm excited.
It's colliding.
Yeah, here's the thing.
Like that line, I've gotten a lot of questions.
Like, are you in the same place at the same time?
Am I?
Yeah.
Shit, I got to think about that.
But the reason I said that was because like it was at peak Taylor Swift being the biggest artist in the world.
And like, I was hyper-focused at that point on the album on this idea of like musical tropes and musical cliches.
Hold on.
No, it's fine.
I can't be offended.
I love her too much.
It doesn't matter.
I love that energy, by the way.
I love that energy.
You could be like, she is like freaking, she is the reason the two towers fell.
And I'd be like, that is wild.
She's like, she didn't want them.
Hold on.
Oh, yeah.
You know, like, I just think you can't change my opinion on her.
Oh, my God.
I'm not going to try to.
In fact, this comes from a place of appreciation.
Okay.
I was hyper-focused on this album on the idea of like musical tropes and cliches.
Like, there's certain musical moves.
Like, think about how in movies you'll see blue-orange contrast a lot.
Like, that's like a thing that people do a lot.
In music, there's certain musical moves that just show up again and again and again, like, drum patterns, chord progressions.
And I was really embracing those on this because it's like, to me, there's an insane beauty in how, like, whether you're in like in China or Brazil or in Sweden or in the U.S., like these same motifs appear again and again and again.
Like, it reflects something.
Is this the answer?
C, C, E, oh, C D G E often, yeah, C, D, G. Because you belong with me is D, D, That one, which is the three.
That's what is that?
A A minor?
I don't know.
It's oftentimes like C G A F or that's probably what it is.
C G A F C D A F.
Yeah.
And I did that.
And I rinsed that progression on this album.
Really?
Yes.
Intentionally?
Yes, on purpose.
Yeah.
Whoa.
I was like sitting there with the guitar trying to write the second verse melody and then the lyric bitch on Taylor Swift popped in my head and I was like, that's so stupid.
Like I can never, I can, I like, I can't put that in a Porter Robinson song.
I could never get away with that.
But then like, I've been trying to train this other part of my brain.
The part that's always stopping me, I've been trying to kill that part of my brain.
And the other part of my brain that says, what if it's goaded though?
Like, there's a little part of me that's like, what if the stupidest shit that just popped in my mind is actually the best part of this song?
Everyone shouted that.
Everyone screams it.
It's crazy.
Like in the show, don't know my schedule on the fifth.
Bitch, I'm Taylor Swift.
Like the crowd gets so crazy.
Yeah, that shit.
Yeah.
People like some stupid shit too.
That's the other thing.
Yeah, no.
People like punchlines.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I still don't really know what the line means, to be honest with you.
Okay.
Fair, fair, fair, fair.
It means you're that bitch.
That's good.
Own it.
Be that bitch.
What's your favorite Taylor album?
How much time you got?
No, I think a folklore or reputation.
Reputations are crazy.
Reputations.
Why?
No, it's not.
Because it did win an Abrahamic.
That's our best album for sure.
Wait, do you like Taylor Swift?
Is that what you have you gone to the Air Shop?
I am a red in 1989 person.
Oh, we're different.
Yeah, yeah.
I love like the most saccharine, like Max Martin.
Okay.
That's what I, that's, oh, I love, like, I love the, like, the, like, red, I love so much.
And like, and red used to be one of my favorites.
Yeah, yeah.
So I get it.
But like, as a, as a writer, like, I know that her last three albums have been where she, like, she's, like, really like busting out the pen and like, like, going deep and being way more personal.
It's like, I just have such a musical sweet tooth that I like, I love the, I love the like old pop stuff.
Oh, so you, that, so I'm the, I'm different.
I only listen for lyricism.
I don't really care about the, yeah, which isn't normal.
I've learned.
I think most people like, because even Hassan and Will and Marsh, not so much because he's usually over there.
They're always like, oh, Taylor Swift and she always is writing about breaking up with boyfriends.
It's like, no, those are just the poppy ones that get famous.
Yeah, right.
And it's like, and those are ones that stick to your, you got blank space.
You've got, I knew you were in trouble.
And those are like the bops.
Yeah.
But like, no one's sitting there listening to like Stop Your Losing Me, which is like tragic.
Which is what's it about?
Well, Stop Your Losing Me is about ending a relationship.
That's right.
That's what I fucking thought.
There's bigger than the whole sky.
There's Marjorie.
There's, there's a lot.
There's a lot.
I will say, okay, the last note on Taylor for today, if you'll allow that, is they don't like when I talk about Taylor.
So for the record, Porter brought it up.
It wasn't me.
I watched the Airs Tour, the like video version of it.
I didn't go.
My favorite section of that show, as somebody who had not listened to that album, was the folklore section.
I thought that was the most beautiful part of the show.
I really, really appreciated that.
That was the part that felt the least produced and most intimate, and it was resonating with me.
So, I really got to like give that album some time.
Yeah, I also, what's the song?
Um, I dude, this song caught the most strays off Tortured Poets department.
This is the one that everyone's like, I hate it here.
Wait, wait, no, I thought it was But Daddy, I love him or whatever.
Dog Medicine and Fist Fights00:15:50
Oh, really?
I saw so much.
I love that song.
I thought that song was beautiful.
I thought you were talking about I hate it here because she was like, Uh, I'd be choose the 1830s, but without all the racists.
Oh, yeah, yeah, and everyone's like racist.
It would have maybe if she just full sent that without any kind of apology, like it would have caught less strays.
Yeah, I think so.
Um, yeah, just the 1830s.
Like, sometimes putting an asterisk on something makes you like opens you up, you know what I mean?
Wait, what are you talking about, but daddy, I love him?
You just love it.
I thought it was really, I thought it was a beautiful song.
I thought it was like fun.
I thought it was lyrically, extremely poignant.
Wait, you don't fuck with this?
Yeah, dude.
Holy shit, he's not you are.
We're done talking.
That was like, that was me being really generous just now, and you just like smacked it out of the air.
I'm more of like a black subject.
My bad, my bad.
Well, speaking of beautiful things, I do a segment here on this show.
And typically, it's pretty silly, but this week is very serious because our country is at a very tumultuous period of time.
Yeah.
And I think we need heroes.
So, this is a segment called America Me Up, where I teach my cohorts about things that are uniquely American: moments, people.
Yeah.
And this week, we're going to talk about a hero.
Have you heard of Guy Punches Rock on TikTok?
Yeah, no, this has not hit my algo yet.
This is a man who is making his hands stronger to punch concrete with the colours.
Oh, okay.
I have seen that.
I have seen this.
With dog medicine?
Yes.
Yes.
Go ahead and pull that up for us.
Wait, could you pull it up?
To make dog medicine?
No, no, no.
He's making his hands stronger with dog medicine.
I did two hours of research today on guy who punches rocks.
His name is Ted.
Yeah.
And he is a formal martial artist.
Go to like day 182.
The first one is actually the one we should start with.
Okay.
The best video I ever made.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Just let's get a take right here.
This is an American hero right here.
Ow.
Oh my God.
Yeah, he just punched a cinder block.
But don't worry.
Dude.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
This is like Hope Core.
Like, this is like.
God.
I'm going to be the first person on Fear End to ever say this.
I fucking love America.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at this shit.
I don't want it to end.
I'm not ready.
All right.
So while we pull up the next video, I have all the background.
They say men don't have hobbies.
Yeah.
That's right.
This is Ted.
And Ted is a former martial artist who had a bunch of concrete and he tried to throw it away.
And his trash service said, You can't throw away this much concrete.
And so that's crazy.
Dude, license can be so beautiful sometimes.
It's actually insane.
Like, you never know what's coming your way.
I love it.
This is so deadly serious.
And so he was faced with a dilemma where he had all this concrete.
And apparently, I think his aunt needed gravel for her driveway.
And so Ted started to break up the concrete with a hammer.
And halfway through, he decided he was going to use his hands.
And he began to break up.
You know what's funny?
Yes.
Is I gave a lecture the other day on stream about how men shouldn't use their hands and in fact they should use tools because why get through concrete with your hands when you could use a jackhammer?
I'm obviously referring to sex, but um I wasn't picking up on that at all.
I'm such a virgin, but this is the opposite, which is crazy.
I'm sorry I was wrong, essentially.
It's all he began his journey breaking up all this concrete with his hands and he posted it on TikTok and people told him it wasn't possible.
Oh my God, I just got the chill.
So he decided that to this is all verbatim out of his mouth to inspire people to attempt the impossible.
We've got to have him on the pause.
He was going to break up all of this concrete with his hands, but he found that his hands simply weren't strong enough.
So he began spraying his dachshunds dog medicine.
I don't get it.
Okay, that's the part that I need.
I need more.
I need more.
Did he choose that for a reason?
Did he choose the docs?
There'll be no more questions on that subject.
So this is the part that's really going to trigger you.
This is him filing down a piece of wood with his hands.
Oh, yeah.
So now his hands have become so calm and strong that he can sand wood down.
Yeah, so let's go ahead and play this.
This video came across my algorithm.
That is him sanding a piece of wood.
I do feel bad if he does have a girlfriend.
So he puts thin sandpaper in his boxing gloves when he punches to even further toughen his hands.
So crazy.
Dude.
Yeah, I like this third comment here that says, what does dog medicine have to do with any of this and what do you use?
Well, that's actually his title is Fist of the Dog Medicine.
You can see it there.
This is the type of shit that AI will never think of.
No.
Humans are so beautiful.
It's unreal.
That's the dog medicine now.
That's the dog medicine.
Which is, I think it's for dogs' pads on their hands to toughen up the pads of their feet.
Oh my God.
So now he's striking a match on his fist.
Wait, his hands are so fucked up, though.
Like, I don't know what I was imagining.
When you say fucked up, he's strengthened them now.
To inspire people.
Yes.
He's inspiring.
Yeah.
So, Cutie, going back to your metaphor here earlier, how does this fit into that?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I've never been more confused.
I guess just the thing that we're learning here is that in all facets, the hands are highly adaptable.
Like, they can become anything.
You just need to put dog medicine on them.
And basically what I'm trying to say is, Porter, you're a great guest or whatever, but fist of dog medicine.
If you want to come.
Honestly, I've wasted your time today.
Let's be honest.
How tough are your hands, Porter?
So not tough.
Do we have to do that?
Can we get some medicine?
He's nondescript dog medicine.
And he's made his name fist of the dog medicine.
It's really weird because it's this fascinating mix of both being kind of high production value.
Like he's clearly put a lot of time into the edit.
And there's like these, there's these PSAs on there, but he's also not explaining himself that well.
He's like totally comfortable to just say, I'm putting dog medicine on my hands and give no context to that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Well, he's inspiring the youth.
Yeah.
Chang comments, what does dog medicine do for humans?
Captain Zande says, gives them reassurance knowing that the medicine is starting to heal their dog.
Yeah.
I don't get it.
We're not Nathan says, will it work on feet?
They has no fucking.
Yeah.
Wait, Audrey with the insightful comment.
It sounds painful crying emoji.
Well, he, his hands are.
Can you do a longer version from Harvey?
His hands got so tough that he started to branch out.
And now he's cracking cement with his forehead.
He's chewing cement.
What does that mean?
Can I chew concrete?
Well, go ahead and take a look.
Oh my God, he's just breaking them casually now.
Yes.
His hands, the dog medicine has made his hands so strong.
See, this is why I don't worry about, like, if there's ever a time where I didn't like that.
If AI replaces every human job and it's like UBI all the way around and like no one's working anymore, we're going to figure it out.
Yeah.
Like people are going to do this shit till kingdom come.
Yeah.
They're going to find something and create meaning out of it no matter what it is.
Not even Watson, not even our most advanced computers could ever.
Yeah.
They don't want to.
To make fist of the dog medicine.
I love that he's just wearing a Dragon Ball Z-shirt, dude.
I hate the sound so much.
I feel it in my mouth.
Ah, there he is eating some more concrete.
He doesn't look like he likes it.
No.
And dog medicine doesn't work on his teeth, apparently.
Yeah.
I don't know.
See, that's just unlucky.
That's really unfortunate.
Yeah, it's his secret serum.
All right.
So you can go ahead and pause.
That's our America Me Up this week.
Yeah.
Fist of the dog medicine.
That's fucking awesome.
Thank you for.
I mean, this, this came across my feed, and I saw him say that like a sensory nightmare is about to happen with his hands.
And I was like, I don't, I don't need this today.
Yeah.
But I, I honestly.
You're glad you took the ride.
Yeah.
It's like the meme of the guy who's like digging and he's about to get to the diamonds and he walks away sadly with his pickaxe.
That was me watching the first two and a half seconds of this video.
Yeah.
So Porter, do you have any hidden talents like that?
Can you do anything like that?
I mean, the music's great.
Don't get me wrong.
Don't get me wrong.
I mean, I have one that I've done a lot.
I do like, I can do fake languages.
I can do.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I can, I can do like fake.
Like I was, I've been trying to, my newest one has been trying to learn fake Swedish.
Okay.
Yeah.
And Swedish little fake Swedish.
Yeah.
Swedish to me sounds kind of like because I've done a bunch of like German, French or obviously a lot of Chinese.
I've not hit the Chinese one yet publicly.
Yeah, that one's so funny.
I'm swear we're laughing.
Finally.
The Swedish one is kind of like, it's like, that's very good fake Swedish.
It sounds like a sim.
Yeah, it is kind of similar.
Did you do simlish?
Oh, I just know like Zoop.
I mean, I'm not fluent.
I can understand it.
Yeah, I can't speak it.
Yeah, Zoop, Zoo.
What else is there?
There's like, I remember in The Sims one, sometimes your Sim would be eating food and they'd be like, hmm, this girl is fremishy.
How about that?
You know what the fuck he's talking about?
That just gave me a yes.
That one hits you because it almost sounds like this groove is famishing or something.
It sounds like the PlayStation one, too.
They must have used the same voice on it.
This is the wildest guy.
I know you're a big sim.
I'm a big Sim person.
That was crazy.
When you were saying, like, he was like, Euro Pop, and you're like, I was doing that when I was 15.
I was like, I was like having an affair with my maid when I was 15.
Yeah, we all did that.
We all drowned at a sim in the pool, too.
Yeah.
There's no feeling of power quite like deleting that ladder and just accelerating time, watching them swim in circles.
That roller coaster tycoon, just sending a beam coaster into space and letting it crash.
I'm sad I missed Roller Coaster Tycoon.
I feel like that was.
Oh, you missed it?
I didn't play it.
You gotta play Parkitect.
I play it all the time.
It's kind of the closest replacement to Rob Coaster Tycoon.
Have y'all ever tried to, like, do you ever have like a niece or nephew or something?
And you're like, oh, do you want to like try Tony Hawk's Pro Skater?
And they're like, we have this in Roblox.
Like every game.
My little brother, I've had some experiences where it's just like, oh, I didn't realize Roblox just is everything.
It's every other game.
There's no game.
There's no classic game you can show a kid now because they've all been just like effectively.
They've been robloxed.
They've been Roblox.
Yeah.
Roblox.
Yeah.
I can cry like a baby.
That's my hidden town.
A good hit in town.
You guys have done this.
Yeah, I think he, yeah, but I want to hear it again.
I thought it was fucking awesome.
And also, like, I will say that I was hearing it through a webcam.
So I was like, there's a part of me that's like, let me see if it feels the same in the room.
And then you were doing.
No, no, I'm not accusing you of fakery.
Just like something's acoustically just like, it's like different through a speaker.
Go for it.
Come on.
Okay.
Better be better than the Britney one.
You got a small dog over it or something.
Oh, that's right.
I did do it.
That's right.
I did.
Oh, yeah.
How do you remember this?
Because the sound of both of you doing that lives in my head rent-free for some reason.
Even though I watched that stream once, like, what, two years ago?
Top 10 moments from Cute as an Ellen, Porter Robinson's stream.
Yeah, okay.
It just goes.
Should we do it at the same time?
Yeah, so you bark and then the baby cries.
Okay.
Count me in.
Turn my headphones up.
One, two, three, four.
Oh, it's rhythmic?
That was not a candidate.
That's like a beat.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hold on.
I'll start us off.
Okay.
Okay.
Three, two, one.
Oh, no.
We've triggered all the dogs.
Wait.
That is a huge success.
I have a good big dog.
Guess what?
She's literally lying.
Dude, it's so accurate.
Kaya literally got activated.
All right, ready?
Good big dog.
Oh, yours is way better than mine.
You just scared the shit out of me.
I've never, I have never been like big dog like that in my entire life.
I'm not literally.
Yeah, that wasn't nice, actually.
That was so good.
Thank you.
I got to hear that again.
Dude, that is so sick.
You just got me hype.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
They said Beoda's barking.
Oh, sorry.
It was Will.
I like the expanding of the hand to emulate the mouth side.
That is such a cool talent.
How did you learn you could do this?
I had a high school teacher who did it.
Yeah.
Named Terrell Ivory.
Shouts out Terrell Ivory.
Yeah.
And he did it all the time.
Okay, so wait, wait.
So you frequency up and then.
So it's like, okay.
Yeah.
I'm getting that really again.
Boy, hold on, hold on.
My mind keeps like my voice corrects.
Yeah, and he's, it's not, you had that bass in your voice.
I gotta start hitting the gym.
I think that's the issue.
Yeah.
That's the secret to it.
Yeah.
That was fucking sick.
Thank you.
Yours is amazing.
What do you have?
Like, come on, drop something.
I don't have dogs.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have either.
Can you do baby?
Definitely can't do baby.
Can you do Brittany?
We did little.
All right.
All right.
Now, can you go?
Can you do that?
And at that point, when I'm your dog, I growl too.
Yeah.
So I get it.
Okay.
Now, can you blend them together?
So it's like, he's producing.
Yeah.
You want to make sure the attack, the attack teaches me how to bark.
You see a squirrel.
You see a squirrel.
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
Putting like an acting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He needs motivation.
Yeah, myth of acting.
So the other side of the drink autism is that I really do need a pee right now.
How often is the what are we?
We're on an hour.
Anyway, we're gonna we're gonna end the normal portion and go down the paywall.
We'll let you pay uh pee in between.
But Porter, you have been a fantastic guest.
Please plug everything.
Album is out now.
Smile.
Yes.
On all streaming platforms.
Go listen to it.
It's incredible.
We'll do the bath time listening party on Patreon.
Yes.
Yes.
Run that up.
I'll record it.
I would like to say before we thank you for having me.
I, yeah, I feel like we really got this together in the last half, especially.
I think that's where we kind of hit our flow.
Maybe we like edit this video to 30 minutes or like, yeah, I feel like part first.
Yeah, we uh that that dog barking shit was really cool.
Taking Back Last Power00:01:27
Yeah, that was that was like it.
Actually, I felt like the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Yeah, thank you, Porter, for coming on.
Thanks for watching.
If you want to catch more, you can catch us on patreon.com/slash fear and where we will be exploiting blackmail on people that I know.
Oh my god, okay, oh my god, thanks for watching, buddy.
Thanks for joining us for some time.
Thank you, thank you.
I get so tired every day looking at the television set.
Yeah, I'm sad, but I don't want to change my ways.
I'm going to take back the last piece of power I have.
I'm going to fucking kill myself, baby.
That was so tough.
One take one.
One take, Jake.
Yeah.
All right.
I get so tired.
Yes, Jake.
Kill this shit.
Yeah, I'm sad, but I don't want to change my ways.
I'm going to take back the last piece of power I have.
At last.
I'm going to fucking kill myself, baby.
The drop leaves a little bit to be desired, but the ideas are there.
