FREEDOMAIN SOCIAL MEDIA REVIEW - NOW WITH IZZY!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alright, so we're doing some social media responses.
Yep. And so, Izzy, there's a...
Is she a rapper or singer?
Cardi B. I don't know. She does rap stuff, I think.
She does rap stuff. I'm not sure if she got stung by bees or had some sort of surgical procedure go wrong, but this is Cardi B without makeup.
And look, everyone has bad angles.
Everyone has bad photos.
It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't mean to be rude. Why are her eyes going in different directions?
Was she auditioning for The Little Mermaid, do you think?
She looks at two different squid from either side.
Oh my gosh. Yeah, so this is something without makeup.
It's just wild. Alright, I'm gonna...
I think I've probably gone over this in other shows, so I'll keep it brief, but...
Every woman that I've seen, at least around my age even, even like 16-year-old, 17-year-old girls, right?
They... The ones that wear a lot of makeup, when I see them without makeup, their skin is just awful.
Like, it looks... They all look like...
They look, like, puffy and just unhealthy.
Like, the way her face looks all just, like, really unhealthy.
Right? And...
I don't know. I mean, I've never really worn makeup.
Occasionally, I guess I'll wear lip gloss because I have really chapped lips and chapstick makes my lips white, which looks weird.
But I never wear makeup and I don't have bad skin.
I'll get an occasional pimple, but my skin doesn't...
Like, I don't have dark eyes and I don't have, like, undefined lips and stuff.
It's that vicious circle.
The more makeup, the worse skin.
The more makeup, the worse skin.
The more makeup, the worse skin. Look, once I put concealer under my eyes because I was curious, right?
And you vanished. It was like the ring of power.
No. And my eyes, the under eye area, got kind of spotty for a couple days.
It just looked like freckles and stuff, which I didn't have before.
And I'm telling you, it's just not good for your skin.
It's really bad. Just deal with however your skin looks at the time, and you don't need all the makeup.
Now, I don't know if you know this, I spent years wearing makeup.
Yeah, totally. No, I did.
No, for your theater. Oh, come on!
I was going to milk it for a little longer than that.
Yeah. Yes, for my hacking.
And I had to put all of these creams underneath just to keep the makeup from basically touching my skin because it turned me into some sort of exploding puffer fish.
No, that's what I mean. Yeah, it was just bad. Like, it's really bad.
Maybe we just have more of a sensitivity than most.
Now, how are you with procrastination?
Alright, whoa, it's a little out. Hang on, turn down a bit.
Okay. Until exam.
Tons of time. No problem.
Hey, no problem. Excellent.
And then... It's fine.
It's fine. Ha ha ha.
Ha ha. So for me, I have two modes where it's like, one is I'll get my, I'll have like some math.
I usually get assigned like math from like an online thing on Tuesday.
And I'll have it and I'll be like, okay, I'm going to get all of the coursework done on Tuesday.
So I get all the coursework done, but then I have three quizzes, sometimes four or five, but usually it's three.
And I'll usually do those on Monday, like the following Monday.
And it'll be like 10 at night.
And I'm like, oh, I need to do those quizzes.
But you always see me leap onto the books at tax season, so that's totally different.
Yeah, totally. Totally different. Yeah, so procrastination.
I'm still learning this lesson.
Just rip off the band-aid and get it done.
All right. This optical illusion.
This is wild. It's not.
Look at this. It's like steps.
It's a flat path. It's not steps.
Are you looking at the edge there?
Because that's the only clue.
Even the dog thinks it's like stairs, right?
No, he doesn't. He just walked off of it.
A little bit. They trained the dog.
Look, he's walking up.
Up, up, up.
Even tippy-toes, you see?
It's amazing. But it does look like, you know.
But then reality takes a mind-bending...
Oh my gosh.
That was not a good illusion.
I'm sorry. Mind, yeah.
I thought that one was okay, not great.
But not mind-bending.
The poor birds will have PTSD. Oh no.
Oh no! The poor birds!
Are they cleaning the ducts or something up there?
Those are not ducts.
No, the ducts. Sorry.
They might be. I know those are not ducts!
I was like, what? This is a similar reaction to when somebody knocks on your door.
Is that right? It's a similar sort of reaction to it.
Wow, what kind of birds do you think they are?
Now, do you see how they're completely frozen in place?
I think they might be, not spirits, I think they're hawks.
Yeah, I think they're hawks.
But just, ah!
When do you experience these levels of fear in general?
I don't know, math. That's right, math book's coming.
This is good. Read.
Read. Read it out?
The sound of an ice... Oh, why do I have to read it out?
Okay, what's normal... Because it's an audio show too.
Too bad. What's normal at 3pm but terrifying at 3am?
And the response says, the sound of an ice cream truck.
It's actually eerily true.
Is it? Well, yeah.
I don't know, man. I don't care if it's 3am and it's some white van.
I'm going to get ice cream. Excellent.
I would also say knocks on the door.
Yeah. At 3am, not so great.
Not ideal. But that's too obvious.
I think that's kind of an obvious thing.
What else would it be that would be normal at 3pm but terrifying at 3am?
Oh, light in your room.
With no sauce, because it's daylight, right?
Light in your room with no sauce.
But again, not as good.
Not as good. Alright.
So, then we have...
Oh yeah, Asian Plus Stores.
So Asians are fairly blunt, I think you could say.
That's great. We need we need we need the the West to become like this
Isn't that funny Oh my gosh.
That's actually insane.
I love that. Maybe it's a translation thing?
I don't know. Oh yeah, so the solar eclipse, the gaps between the leaves on trees, act as like these little pinhole cameras.
What the heck? So they each portray the image of the sun during the eclipse on the ground.
Ominous. Isn't that great?
Do not. No.
Isn't that wild? Yeah.
Also at 3am on your carpet might be a little odd.
A little ominous. Oh, this is wild.
I don't know. I honestly can't figure out what kind of truck this is.
Like, look at this. Look at this.
This truck is just wild.
Why is it so long?
I don't know exactly what kind of truck it is or what's happening, but it certainly did seem to get stuck on the...
It just keeps going.
It's like a truck that somehow morphed into another dimension or something.
It's a truck train. And...
Does he make it? Uh...
Not really. No!
So I don't know what that is.
I've never seen anything like it.
I don't know why it's so long. That doesn't make any sense.
It's like they're delivering lower intestines to a giant or something like that.
I don't know what's going on, but yeah, it was pretty wild.
So... This is good simply because...
So this is... In sports, there's this phenomenon known as choking.
Oh, yeah? Where you just...
Mess up, because you get tens.
And the Chargers are sports too.
I thought that was kind of funny.
Bro. This just seems like the very worst conceivable way to do this.
Yeah, why would you do that? Because now you have debris everywhere that you have to clean up.
There's a face I had when I was a kid called Pennywise Pound Foolish.
Yeah. Pound being money.
Yes. Like basically Pennywise Dollar Foolish.
It's like, well, you know, I saved a couple of bucks by not having professional demolition people come in.
But I lost a lot. But, you know, it came close, because if you look, right, if he didn't run fast enough, it would have just landed on him.
So, yeah. Not ideal. Oh, this is it.
Oh please, not this audio.
Oh, it's lovely!
I'm pausing. I cannot stand videos that are somewhat a little cute, and then they put this absolutely, I don't know, the worst possible cringey cute music on top of it.
It's just a manipulation and I absolutely hate it and it's cringe.
It's a beautiful human emotion that they're evoking.
It makes me I don't know why you would dislike it so much.
I absolutely hate when they do audio like this.
Alright, well turn the audio off.
Turn the audio off. Look at these little kids when the daddy comes home!
You lied. Now, can you imagine what it would have been like if I'd ever left the home?
Yes. To come home?
Anyway, that's just, it's great.
But it's the same child each time and the same daddy each time.
So, yeah. It could be twins.
No, it's the same place.
It's the same place. So, we just see the same kid hugging.
So, that's all I'm saying.
But it's nice. Yeah, it's cute, but they overdid it.
Realizing at age 32, and it used to be female, so you should...
Realizing at age 32 that I don't care about building a career or climbing any corporate ladder, all I want to do is make the most amount of money working the least amount of hours possible so I can spend the majority of my time with my family, living life on my own terms instead of spending 40 plus years working for a boss who's paying me what he thinks is fair.
Yeah, so they're just kind of discovering what women had throughout most of human history as if it's some massive revolution.
It's pretty neat. Why though?
I'm sorry, why?
Why are the chickens dancing?
Well, so I think what happened was somebody found this video of the chickens.
No, no, I get that. And these women decided, why are the chickens dancing?
Because it's good music. Chickens don't.
Okay, so someone's lifting up the chicken.
That's why it's cut off. Because chickens keep their heads still if you lift them up.
Oh, you think it's fake?
Yeah. Hmm. Go on, birds do not...
Wait, which side is fake? The chickens.
Oh, this side. Okay, got it.
The chickens. You could be right.
Because when you lift up a chicken, they keep their heads still.
So, they, um...
Like, someone's lifting it up, and its hands are covered by the feathers, because it's keeping its head still, but going to music.
Why do you crush the things I love?
Because chickens don't dance. That's fair, yeah.
So this is pretty funny.
Scariest pumpkins ever.
Oh, all the car warnings.
All the car warnings. I just thought that was very clever.
And this, we got a couple of these videos.
They fall into the category, people have too much time on their hands.
That's really sophisticated carving, right?
And also getting the flashing warning light.
That's pretty, like the engine light.
Yeah. Come on, that is so obviously not a pass.
They didn't even get the perspective right.
You know what? I was kind of looking at it a little off to one side.
I was looking at something else and I'm like, why did he crash?
And then it makes sense. But it's a typical cartoon thing, right?
Uh-huh. Arguing away, arguing away.
And somebody takes...
Oh, these guys are on the back. I don't know what they're doing.
And what does she think? She's going to catch up?
And he just... I don't know. What the heck is going on?
I don't even know. But yeah, that's just one of the chaotic sequences.
So, in 2022...
2.07 million engagement rings will be sold at an average cost of $3,670, making the engagement ring market in the U.S. worth approximately $7.6 billion.
Now that's, of course, you know, tail end of the pandemic and economy is crap and people can't afford groceries and...
That's not good.
Now, when I was younger, I thought that there was this big, long history behind engagement rings.
Nope. It was a giant marketing campaign set up after the Second World War because De Beers, which is this giant company that your granddad actually worked for for a while, but De Beers had an excess bunch of diamonds.
this giant marketing campaign like you're worth it honey and he should
spend at least two months salary to prove that he loves you.
Oh my god. And it was just like honestly it just came out of they had on this is
just wild to me that people can be told oh yeah you need to spend four thousand
US dollars like five thousand five hundred Canadian dollars or you don't
love someone and people are just like okay. I don't know I think any woman
that needs it says well I'm not marrying you unless you waste four thousand dollars
on a piece of stone. Yeah. Right.
Any woman that's like that, do not marry her.
She's a complete waste.
I'm sorry. Massive offense.
You should be upset at this.
But, I mean, look, I don't, I think what matters is that you're happy with your partner, not some stupid ring.
Like, I don't know, just, I guess give her a gift or something.
Give her some flowers, but it doesn't need to be a ridiculous ring.
It does. Well, and...
I mean, the old argument, I guess, is like, prove your capacity to make money.
But this proves your capacity to be a...
Frivolous spender. Yeah, kind of conformist, not thinking for yourself.
And what happens is, women, like, they call it flashing.
Like, they flash the ring.
And a woman's, like, she flashes.
Oh, what's your ring?
And the other women want to know what the ring is.
I mean, men obviously don't care, right?
That is such a low status thing to me.
Oh, what's your ring? Like, that's...
Who cares? It's like, what did you get on the auction block of dating, you know?
Oh, I'm worth $5,000!
It's like, I don't think that's quite right.
So this is Florida, which we've been to a couple of times.
The heck's...
Now, it's possible... I sense drugs.
No, also the fumes might have gotten to her.
Or maybe she just really needs to poop.
I mean, I think we've all been there at one time or another.
No! But I'm not entirely positive she should be driving or anywhere near a car or anything like that.
I mean, that's something else, right?
What the heck? Oh, it's just tragic what drugs do to people.
It really is awful. Yeah.
I mean, that's more than drunk, I think.
Oh, that's not drunk. I think that's more than drunk.
But yeah, that's Florida.
Luckiest man in the world?
Whoa. Whoa. I mean, you think he's just gone, right?
He's like smudged. But no, he's out, right?
See, and he wouldn't have been able to do that if he was one of the guys shopping at those Moo Moo stores.
That's right. The truck would have hit a speed bump.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
We talked about this a little bit, just about people fighting over inheritance.
Oh, yeah. So, yeah, there was a little murder.
I don't believe that, actually. It says there was a little murder in my family for over $150,000.
Yeah, we don't talk to that nephew anymore.
They could, though, because if he's in prison, you can phone people.
No, I don't believe that.
I don't think that's true. Right.
It just seems like one of those things that's not true.
But it's just important to not get so attached to things that you detonate relationships.
But money. No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. No, it's really important because, yeah, relationships in general, money comes and goes, but relationships could be forever.
But people mess that stuff up all the time.
Siblings. See, that's way better than that video of the kid running to the tap.
Ah! Ah!
No! No, it's horrifying.
As a younger sibling, I feel this in my soul.
Okay, so tell me what you think of this.
Can you read it? Okay, so this gave me goosebumps.
It says, What's the moral of the story?
What? So on the cup it says...
I see that, yeah. Are you okay? No, I'm just reading.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Are you okay?
Do you want us to intervene if you do take the lid off the cup?
I mean, she's at Starbucks.
It's a public place.
It's a public place. What does she think? Someone's going to put a sack over her head and drag her to a van?
I do not understand this.
I can't, I can't, honestly, Izzy, I cannot imagine living in this level of, oh God, someone's talking to a woman.
We have to ask, like that level of drama and fear and anxiety and paranoia.
That's actually insane. Yeah, I mean, oh, and thank goodness somebody was looking out for this girl that a man was talking to.
And he's like, this gave me goosebumps.
Yeah. I don't know. Why is that?
What? It's crazy.
I did not even get like, I was like, okay, so what's the story about?
Like, some guy is trying to flirt with her and she's like, oh my god, I'm gonna get kidnapped!
We don't know if he's trying to flirt with her.
He just came up to her and started talking to her.
Probably flirting. Maybe, maybe, or it could just be somebody she knows, or it could be someone who, oh, I read that book, what do you think?
Or it could be any number of things, right?
It may be flirting, it may not.
But it's just, I honestly can't imagine that life is worth living if you live on this trembling edge of doom fear cliff all the time.
Like, that's just nuts to me.
But, yeah. Alright.
No longer my girlfriend. Alright.
Oh, means they're engaged? Tiffany's no longer my girlfriend.
That woman was the craziest person I've ever met in my life.
Oh, hold up, hold up, hold up.
She's actually, we're engaged now.
She's my fiancée. She's no longer my girlfriend.
She's my fiancée. What the hell, Mike?
I am so sorry.
That she's your fiancée.
Bye. Tiffany's no longer my girlfriend.
Come on. Don't we all need friends like that?
Can we do it one more time? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. That's awesome. Thank God, dude.
Oh, hold up, hold up, hold up.
She's actually... We're engaged now.
She's my fiancée. She's no longer my girlfriend.
She's my fiancée. What the hell, Mike?
I am so sorry.
And she's your fiancée.
Bye. I bet the crazy is going to come out and now...
Oh my gosh, that is awesome.
Isn't that... Like, you really need friends like that.
And here's the other thing, too.
This is a life lesson.
Don't have... Speakerphone calls with people when they don't know the person you're talking about is in the room.
No, never do that.
You never know. I mean, hopefully you know, but you just don't in general know what's going to come out of the other person's mouth.
And he doesn't even know that his friends don't like his girlfriend.
So anyway, I don't know if this is staged or not, but it's actually a really good lesson.
A really good lesson. All right.
Now, tell me if you've ever had this experience.
Please read aloud. Yes.
You know what's depressing? Starting the same sentence over and over again because no one is listening and then just dropping it because it obviously doesn't matter.
3.1 million views.
Do you think people are having that?
And how many of those people are under the age of 16?
Almost all of them. Right.
When I'm in a room of adults, and this has definitely gotten better since I turned 12.
So unfair. But when I'm in a room of adults and I'm trying to talk, they just start talking.
And it's like, can y'all just not?
I mean, yes, I'm shorter than you.
Yes, I'm younger. It doesn't mean I have nothing to say.
And so you've seen those football movies or football shorts where some guy's tackling and trying to keep people from knocking over the guy with the ball.
Yeah. So that was me in conversation.
Hey, Izzy has something to say.
Could you please, like, let Izzy...
Can you just not? I was just constantly, like, people would just talk over you as a kid.
Yeah. Totally rude.
And it happened just the other day.
We had some friends over and the mom was just like...
Chat, chat, chat. It's like, can you...
I'm trying to do something.
We were playing a board game and I had to have my turn and she just kept talking and I'm like, it's my turn.
Wait one round. And this is just a way that kids are sort of devalued as a whole and made to feel less important.
It's like, no, you've got perfectly valid things to add.
There's no reason why you'd be listened to less than an adult.
Yeah, and it's not just me. I have it with my friends.
Like, whenever we're around adults, we just cannot get words in.
It's like, kind of ridiculous.
So we always just split off and go elsewhere.
Like, But again, your male teenage friends are kind of quiet around me, and I'm not even interrupting them.
They're terrified of you. I know.
Isn't it delightful? Delightful.
Where was she walking to?
Oh, do you want to try this word?
Endocrinologist. Okay. I can do that, but I cannot pronounce fascination.
Hey, good job. I did it today, but last show.
Okay. I gained five pounds and I told my endocrinologist that I'm doing more walking than ever.
And he said, are you walking to restaurants?
How much do you like the blunt people?
I love blunt people.
I'm one of them. I mean, I may not have said that, but I definitely would have thought it.
You are a blunt person, and I think it's good.
I think it's a good thing to have, because what it does is it ejects the hypersensitive people from your environment, which makes everything much better.
Everything is much better. Alright, so this...
Oh my god, what?
This is a dance that this man is inventing.
Now, do you know what's going on here? Uh, kind of.
So it looks like this is a game show.
And he's got to...
We've done this before, actually, many years ago.
It was an electrified pole.
We did? Yeah, and you have to take...
Well, we didn't do it with this level of electricity.
Oh. But you had to take the hoop and you have to get it all the way over around these lines, around this pipe.
Oh, I'm not doing that. It's too tedious.
I just run through it. So what he does is it's a game show and he has a certain amount of time to do it in, but he takes a rather male approach when he fails.
Uh-huh. Like he literally is losing control of his legs in order to get it straight.
Honestly, I would do that because there's no way you're going to get it across without zapping.
Like, it's just, it's so much faster.
I think the all-in approach, this is sort of my approach to philosophy as a whole, should I be delicate or just yell at everyone?
Alright. Now there's a strange elegance to this one.
So you see this pipe here, right?
Uh-huh. I think it's a soft pipe, but there's a, you know when certain people have accidents and there's a certain grace and dance-like quality to it?
Okay. Is it the car?
Uh-huh. Why did he just go like that?
It's like ragdoll physics, you know?
He just kept going! His feet didn't even move.
They just stayed straight.
Look. His feet.
Again, I wish he'd been there because there's a certain amount of grace to it.
And I assume that he's listening or maybe he's talking and just not looking down because he just didn't seem to...
Normally you get a certain reflex like, oh no, something bad is going to happen.
He's just like, nah. Alright.
So this is kind of wild to me.
If it loads. If it loads, yeah.
So this woman literally snatches the ball away from the kid.
So if you get the ball at the baseball game, you get to keep it.
And no adult intervenes, no adult says, so she, okay, now she does catch it, but then the kid kind of half catches it, and she just yanks it away, doesn't turn, doesn't apologize, and no adult intervenes, and nothing, and it's just like, so this is retirement benefits in the next generation?
No, just kidding. What? This, I don't know if it's a Democrat thing, but I just think this is pretty funny.
Some random mosquito after drinking a Democrat's blood getting hit with 502 booster shots and 15 to 16 different antidepressants.
I don't know if that's kind of funny.
Alright, hornet's nests.
What is your relationship to wasps?
I don't know. I mean, I have a story about a bee sting.
So, I went out. It was in the morning.
I had not had anything to drink or eat yet.
So, I just went out. It was a couple of years ago, I think.
And I stepped on, like, a dying bee.
And it stung my foot.
And I just got, like, really, really faint after, like, a minute.
And when we were walking past, my vision was just, like, it was over, I want to say oversampling all the light.
Because everything just looked, like, completely white.
And you saw, if I remember rightly, you saw Aragorn's Ghost Army.
Do I have that correct memory?
Maybe not, maybe not.
I may be blending that with the movie we saw.
A little bit. But no, it was like everything just went like almost white.
And I remember we called the doctor and she was like, oh yeah, it's probably just allergies.
And it's like, I've been stung by bees so many times that I've never had a single reaction.
So I basically just had some water and I was fine.
But I mean, this doctor, she's like, it's allergies.
It's like my vision literally went white.
I don't think it's allergies. I saw through time.
Yeah. And also, one of the things that happened when we were first looking at maybe putting you in school, because you were just so enthusiastic for it, but we took you to a school.
You were very little.
We took you to a school.
We did a tour of the school.
I think it was a Montessori school.
I think it was like four or five or something.
And do you remember what happened? Yeah, there was a bee on the windowsill and I didn't see the bee and I put my hand on it.
And you got stung. It was one of the big ones too.
And so we found, actually, you aren't allergic to bee stings, you're allergic to school.
That's exactly what it was.
That really was what happened.
Yeah, and I've been stung by a wasp all the time, so I've been stung a bunch of times, and I guarantee, I do not have an allergy to bees.
I'm just, it's not that. Anyways, go ahead.
Alright, so this guy with the man toy, I'm sorry, the construction equipment, he is working on getting rid of a hornet's nest.
There better be a window.
This is like murder hornets?
Yeah. Well, I don't know what it's so, I wouldn't do this in a million years if I wasn't sealed in, right?
It's not sealed, is it?
It doesn't look sealed, right? Well, it's something or other, right?
Now, they are not pleased.
Now, they're already out and they're already trying to attack whoever's attacking their nest, as you would too, right?
Yeah. Oh, they're in.
And they're in. Why would you do that?
He deserves whatever's coming to him.
That was ridiculous. You know what's interesting?
This is actually what's happening to his vision.
You already know that.
No, it's too dark. Okay, he deserves whatever's coming to him if he did not get a window.
Like, come on. You don't do that unless you have complete protection.
I rarely root for the hornets.
Yeah. I rarely cheer on the hornets, but this guy, it's like, dude.
Come on. Alright.
First of all, this is a great song.
I don't know what it is, but it's a great song.
I did not expect this in the McDonald's bathroom Just when you think that the coast is clear, there in the
road is a white tailed deer Dem deer dare hear
Dem deer dare herderderderder What the heck?
It's just chewing on some toilet paper.
Having a jolly time.
But you know what? Can I just tell you the dad joke here?
I do not like deers. No.
Oh, dear. Yeah, we get it. Look.
No, that's not the dad joke.
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Okay, do I get a throat strike if it's a bad dad joke?
Most likely. Okay, if you laugh, I don't get a throat strike.
Fair? Well, finally, someone got something good to eat at McDonald's.
That's the healthiest thing in the whole restaurant, is the toilet paper.
No, not the paper, the deer.
Oh! Oh, I didn't think of that!
I thought that's where you were going with it!
Oh, do you think he's going to skin the deer and eat it raw in the washroom?
That's what happened in your book, except it was in a forest.
Oh, oh, oh, right.
I got it. I got it. Okay, here's the thing.
I don't like deer.
Look at them. Their eyes are creepy and they have giant ears.
They don't need ears that big.
Do you think she's also auditioning for the Little Mermaid?
That girl had some white eyes, that's all I'm saying.
I wasn't going to make the joke, but okay.
I mean, if you're that low a level.
Oh, we know I'm that low a level.
All right, so we're going to read this in great detail.
No, we're not. No, so anyway, somebody says, Our thesis is the primary cause of the rise in mental disorders, is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play Rome and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults.
Now... I know how much you absolutely love and treasure every millisecond with your parents.
Yeah. But you've also managed to find, and I know it's second or third tier in terms of things that you enjoy, but unsupervised time with your teenage friends.
If your parents are not available and you've spent a couple of hours waiting, you are willing to spend time with your teenage friends, particularly the boys, as second or third place happiness.
Sure. And unsupervised roaming around, doing your own thing.
Would you say that that's minorly enjoyable for you?
Minorly. I would, of course, much rather spend, you know, quality time with parents.
There you go. That's that gulag voice.
Look, I don't know, friends.
Yeah, I know. It's fun. So, let me offer this.
Going to an arcade with your parents or roaming the sewers with your friends.
There you go. There you go.
Yeah, so it says what? Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and controlled by adults.
Yeah, I think that's true because adults are always like...
Be careful! Yeah, be careful, right?
I'm gonna give you a Starbucks coffee and write on it if you're being attacked by this man.
Okay, but look, I mean, I think kids and teens have to kind of go out and figure things out for themselves.
We'll go around, I don't know, even just theme parks or parks and malls and stuff, right?
We'll go around and we'll just roam around and figure out our own stuff.
You know, we have some money and we manage our own money.
We don't overspend and stuff.
I mean, I think it's good and teenagers need to end up and learn how to do that.
And you need to figure out your own conflicts without adults constantly jumping in and saying, okay, who said what first and what happened to you and who did that?
It's like, no, you all need to figure out your own conflicts.
And you know what? Without adults, we are surprisingly conflict-free.
I've seen... I cannot think of a single conflict that I've had over with my friends.
Maybe, like, a few, like, super minor ones when we're playing games and stuff, but, like, there's not ever been, like, a real conflict.
And there's, like, we burn each other and stuff like that, but, I mean, it's pretty funny.
Well, you're in the hyperburn male environment, right?
Oh, my gosh. What if you know the old thing that men bond with fake insults and women bond with fake compliments?
It's so true, though. All these women, they'll always be like, oh, your shirt is so pretty and it's, like, the ugliest shirt you've ever seen in your life, but they'll just say it to get on someone's good side.
It's ridiculous. Alright.
I want your thoughts on this.
That's awesome. My husband and his brother have been playing with their new lightsabers for hours.
I would so do that.
Now, those lightsabers look great!
Yeah, those are cool.
I think the guy with the blue one lost.
That's really good.
That's really good. Just like sword fighting.
Yeah. And you know what's funny is that this is like the Roman Empire thing.
Women are like, well, that's just weird.
It's like, no, that's male instinct, which is to learn how to provide and protect, right?
It looks fun. Please. Go ahead.
Read out, please. Okay. I miss you.
Come back to me. Where are you?
My apartment. Go to the window.
I'm here. Jump. This is the only acceptable way to deal with exes who want you back after they mess up, right?
Yeah. Now this cat...
This cat...
What the heck? I thought honestly...
It looks like a deer. What the hell?
Okay, so this cat, it really has...
What's wrong with it? This cat is, you remember the earlier thing, like what's weird at 3 a.m.
but it's fine at 3 p.m.? That's not fine anywhere.
No, this is one of the few things that in the light, in the dark...
It doesn't even blink fully.
What the heck? I don't know.
And is it listening for the escape of your soul as it steals your eyeballs?
You know what? I think that's photoshopped.
No, because it's a video.
And why do you have vampire teeth?
Ah, it's Catstarion.
No, stop. Catstarion, be careful, I'm buying.
There's so much wrong with that cat.
Go on, go on. I don't know, everything.
Well, its limbs are misaligned.
It looks muddy. It's got its furs leaning to one side.
It's got veins in its ears.
It's got weird whiskers that are very short.
I think it's photoshopped.
I don't know, man. Cats do not look like that.
This is the last thing you see before the alien takes you in its spaceship.
Something like that, I just want to imagine.
Alright, the most elegant way to get on a boat.
I like water skiing. I've done it a couple of times in my life.
It's really tough. So he's let go, right?
And he's just coasting, baby!
And now he's doing the wake.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the wake, right?
But what about all the propeller blades?
I guess they're deep underwater, right?
Or maybe it's just a bunch of rowers really low down.
No. Okay, so everyone says the world's overpopulated.
This is 8 billion people. Now, of course, they're kind of jammed in, right?
Not like Japanese subway style where they get those guys to jam you in.
But this is 8 billion people from space.
Near New York, right?
And of course, that's not much.
You spread them out, and you know, like 99% of Canada is like unpopulated.
I would say at least half of those.
Alright. So, how to handle an alligator?
I don't know what this potato cam video is.
It's the best. The low quality videos are always the best.
I wish I had sound, because I'd like to...
What sound is the alligator making? They, like, make a weird, like, squealing noise when they're about age.
No, okay, let's say that this was a cartoon.
What sound would the alligator be making?
I don't even know. Something like that.
And he's just... This is Florida, right?
Just carries him. And...
Well, he's taking it someplace.
That's actually fun. I would do that.
Okay. Near the South Pole.
Temperatures. Minus 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
Minus 64 degrees Celsius.
I just tried to pour myself a root beer.
No. Now, this is actually, I don't know, this is what you and mom experience in summer in the tropics when the sun goes behind a cloud.
I think this is genuinely what you and mom experience.
I don't. I cannot even stand outside in the sun.
Oh, yeah, that's true. But mom.
That's what mom experiences, not me.
When you open the front door in, say, late September, and mom's somewhere in the house, she experiences this, and her root beer actually freezes when she pours it.
Pretty much. That's a genuine direct experience.
Uh-huh. Because female. Now...
What is this? What is this?
That's a kid. What is this?
That's a kid. Okay, I know I've said this a lot.
Is this real? Is this real?
Yeah, I would do that.
You would not in any years.
That actually was like my dream as a kid.
I wanted the kite to just take me.
I don't know where it would take me, but just somewhere.
To your teenage friends. No, I desperately, I was like, if the kite could just lift me up, that'd be so fun.
So what happened is I think the kid got tangled up in the kite.
That is awesome. That kid just probably had the best day of his life.
Do you think this is real? Yeah, because that's awesome.
Now, I want you to, if you could, if this happened to you and Mom was around...
Oh, I'd hear the screaming from orbit.
I don't think you would because it would be too high.
I think dogs would get alarmed, but...
And I would be, what would I be doing?
Probably filming. Yeah, I'd be filming, for sure.
But that's pretty wild.
I think that's, because the concern, there's lots of people who are going to catch the kid.
He's probably not in super amount of danger, although that's a long way to fall.
I don't know, I'd do it. But yeah, the problem would be if the wind stopped or if he just got loose, but that's wild to me.
Alright. Puffins are excellent swimmers.
What the heck? Other than penguins, which of course don't really have much wings, but I don't know that I've ever seen a bird swim that well.
A fish is just like, what are you doing?
Yeah, wrong element. How would you like it if I came and flew in your airspace?
So yeah, I just think that's pretty wild.
Okay, my only question, do crabs think that fish are flying?
I'm not sure that crabs think much at all other than, please don't serve me with cider vegetables.
That's fair. All right.
The sun is huge.
Like, unbelievably, it's a giant nuclear bomb that goes off for 10 billion years.
Like, it's completely insane that we have the heat source and the light.
So this is the sun.
Now, every now and then there are these solar flare eruptions.
They can actually mess up radios.
But look at this. This is the solar flare that leaps out.
And then they put in the earth for scale.
If you zoom in, you can just see us recording this.
But that's the earth.
And that's the size of the sun.
I mean, the Jupiter thing is kind of weird, too.
But this, like, is insane.
Yeah. And the sun is not even that big of a star relative.
There are stars that are 300 times the size of the sun.
I think one is called Betelgeuse.
Anyway, I don't know why this is oddly satisfying.
Because you used to watch some of these oddly satisfying videos.
You don't as much anymore, right? Because I found them incredibly boring.
I used them to fall asleep. Oh, so you're not using my shows too?
Okay, good. No, not yet.
So here we go, here we go.
Do you find this oddly satisfying?
Because I know you had a culvert thing when you were little too.
It's not satisfying.
Wait, wait, look what gets pulled out.
Why is the ground pooping?
Because that's everything that gets pulled out of the culvert.
That's not too satisfying.
All right. I don't think. I thought it was medium.
This is just kind of cool and hypnotic.
This is just kind of cool and hypnotic, right?
That is kind of cool. Of course they put the music in.
Alright, let's do one or two more.
Here we go, here we go.
Yay, Daddy, catch me!
Now, I can't figure out whether this guy is saying no to the kid.
He is, like, saying no, I'm not going to, and then he's like, Daddy, catch me!
But why would he say, like, he catches this?
I don't know, maybe he was saying, like, wait a moment or something.
Or he's saying no, or maybe his kid's annoying him or something.
But, you know, there's some people who can't really read social cues very well.
I think he's one of them. I think that would be one of them.
Parrots are intelligent enough to understand touchscreen interfaces, and they prefer watching videos of other parrots.
I know you have a love on for parrots, right?
That's actually so cool.
Isn't that kind of neat? All right.
Let's do this one. All right, let's start again.
So this is, of course, a baby gator.
I don't know what he's got there, but some kind of food.
The gator roll. The gator roll.
The audio. In my first show with Joe Rogan, we talked about gator rolls because it was part of his comedy routine.
Batman. Now, I don't know if he's okay or not.
I do not know if he's okay or not.
He's fine. Look at him. He just gets up.
Look at him. He's up. But that's not quite right.
Right, but that's funny, so that's why we watch it.
My brother and I were in Scotland once.
We would go to the end of the pier in low tide and run and jump off the pier onto the soft sand.
And we did this for hours and hours and hours.
This is how you keep your cat downstairs.
Now, the first time I saw this, I didn't notice this one.
Oh, the cat? I noticed the cat.
But yeah, I guess, you know, I think, but you know what, tiny dinosaurs?
Terrifying? Terrifying as a whole.
I just... What happened?
I don't understand what's happening, but I just think it's vaguely awesome.
Why does he have a skateboard? I have so many questions.
Yeah, I think the guy was a little hurt though, but probably a bit rough.
Probably. Okay, so these sports fans are like really having some massive fight with who?
With who? A tiny little kid.
Oh my gosh! He's pointing out that his team is scoring well.
I think that's hilarious. Sports people are crazy.
Owls! Just for you! I don't like owls.
Look at them. Wait, is that a deer in the background?
No. I do not like owls.
I don't know why. They're so cute.
They're creepy. Look at them.
They're just judging you silently.
Nice. They turn their heads to look.
In the... People have too much time on their hands.
Oh my gosh.
Somebody created a Lego factory to produce Lego droids.
Why? Lack of ability to touch grass or females?
I don't know. Something like that.
But that's quite something.
All right. I think we should just disguise Friend of Wild.
Again, on people that have way too much time on their hands.
Well, here's the thing, though. Like, he could make this a job, right?
He's probably got, like, the reload button on save.
Oh, yeah. No kidding. All right.
So we'll stop here. But, yeah, let us know what you think of these reviews.
And if you've got anything cool, you can share them under.
We can check it out next time.
Yeah. Thanks, everyone. Have yourself a fantastic day.
