What happens when the hosts become the guests on their own 100th episode? A wildly entertaining journey through the unexpected origin story of In Moderation.
Mike takes the hosting reins as Liam and Rob reflect on how their paths first crossed through videos debunking health misinformation (it always comes back to Bobby). From Liam's background in sleep medicine to Rob overcoming social anxiety by posting videos during the pandemic, their conversation reveals how three content creators accidentally found an audience by simply being themselves.
The discussion veers into gloriously unpredictable territory as they fantasize about purchasing a DeLorean ("I want cat eyes and my feet cut off to fit in a DeLorean, but man, I'm rolling in style!"), debate which horse body part they'd transplant onto themselves, and share the compliments and criticisms they receive most often. Between laughs, they reveal how they've grown more comfortable with their online personas while staying true to their mission of helping people overcome unnecessary food fears.
Beneath the absurdity lie surprisingly profound moments, like their shared belief that "it takes more energy to be a dick" and the importance of recognizing that "history repeats itself." These glimpses of wisdom amid the chaos showcase why In Moderation has cultivated such a dedicated following - authentic voices cutting through misinformation with equal parts science and humor.
Whether you're a long-time listener or first-time discoverer, this centennial celebration captures everything that makes In Moderation special. Subscribe now to join the conversation about health, science, and occasionally, tank nuts.

incidentals in between, this isthe 100th serial episode of In
Moderation.
What an incredible show.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
What I can't believe is you've been on 76 of them I
just keep coming back there's Iam getting so many people uh,
send me messages or commentslike, oh hey, you're that guy
from in moderation.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's like a permit which is a crazy thing for
someone who is not a a host ofin moderation to be the guy from
In Moderation.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well, after this episode, you'll be able to say
that you were a host on InModeration.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean technically, I was the one time what a couple
of weeks ago, right?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh, that's true yeah, no, that was Liam and I'll be

I have not asked to be here.
I'm kicking him out nowepisode's over.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, we only pretend to hate you, it's fine it's the
whole point.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's like you know how uh are you guys fans of
conan o'brien?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I do like conan o'brien he's, he's like the
comic that can really, I feellike, get a so many different
groups of people laughing, youknow he can bring everybody
together.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's not divisive, you know, and he's super
self-deprecating, but in a veryendearing way and, um, he's way
better than me.
I'm not claiming to be wrongwith that.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Hey, you guys know conan o'brien.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He's better than me, I'm just identifying people we
should be hiring conan o'brieninstead of yes, that's what you
should be doing.
Why are you bringing me here?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
you're the timu conan o'brien, I'm the team.
You're the one we can afford.
That's not too bad.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean I would take timu conan o'brien all day yeah,
I'm putting that in my obituary.
That's if I could be like timu,like um jim carrey I'm.
I'm all in on that.
That sounds great.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I like that I kind of want to see your.
Well, alrighty, then.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Alrighty, then I fucking love Ace Ventura, pet
Detective one and two, even like, even early on, like Cable Guy.
Oh, the Mask, the Mask was sogood.
I rewatched the Mask a couplemonths ago jim carey man, he's,
he's fucking, he's got it, he'sgot it.
(03:10):
Oh me, myself and irene, sounderrated, so underrated, well
worth it I think he's gonna makeit.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I really do he's gonna quit his day job so soon
he's gonna quit his day job asan actor to be an even more
successful actor.
But I don't know if this partwas in the recording or if it
wasn't, so I'll just say itagain.
I had suggested, as we wereputting this together, because
we were trying to figure out aguest, and I posited that what
(03:38):
better of a guest than you guys?
You guys have never been aguest on your own podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, we're terrible guests.
That's why we don't inviteourselves.
That's why we host.
Yeah, those who can't guesthost, exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, I think you guys are fantastic hosts.
Let's see if you'll be goodguests, and if that's the case,
then we'll do this again nextweek and you'll just be my
guests again.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh, I like that.
Oh is this how you take overthe show.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, I will be in moderation.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Season two now with Mike Pridgen.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Now on my own podcast .
I haven't interviewed anybodyin a long time.
I stopped doing it because Iwasn't particularly all that
good at it.
It was difficult to book people, so you guys were very easy to
book, considering it was yourpodcast.
You have to be here.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So let's start here.
Let's start with where thepodcast began.
How did you two meet up?
How did you become friends anddecide to make this show what it
is today?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I think well, I mean like if we're starting with meet
up, meet up, or are we juststarting like the planning of
the podcast?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Let's start where you met very beginning Origin
Stories.
We're going for prequels here.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Origin Stories.
I remember God, what video wasit?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I mean, it always comes back to Bobby, it always
does.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It was a Bobby video, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Always I've been getting so many people like you
got to make more of those videos.
They're fun.
I'm like, oh, they're just aslog, but you know what?
Fuck it.
I'll slog through it foranother one, because people get
the yucks from them.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You've said everything you can say about him
at this point.
What else is there to say?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I learned recently from a follower who sent me a
message that he like he workedfor bobby for a time or
something and they were likelooking into taking legal action
against me or something at atime, because I was just like
tearing into them so hard, neverheard anything but like I don't
really know what they couldhave done they would have to
prove that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, soy causes autism, which is like they're
not going to be able to do it.
You know it's.
They're kind of stuck, theirhand is forced because it's.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You're just saying things that are scientifically
verifiable yeah, I mean, I wasripping into them you know some
names and stuff, like I'm surethey could have really tried for
something you know.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
The other thing is, though, is if they brought that
to light, it would have gone tocourt that bobby was taking uh
or not declaring his interestsin various companies discovery.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I learned that from a lawyer.
I watched them on youtube.
They say discovery.
I'm like, oh, that's important.
That's where all the legalstuff and the, the and the
papers come into play.
They gotta learn?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
basically, bobby can't do anything against us
because he can't bring his owndark dealings to light.
So here's question number two.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
One of those videos where, like probably I don't
know what he did, one I probablycommented on it and I was doing
my own videos.
And then so yeah, we juststarted like talking about like
yeah, that sort of stuff.
And then at one point I thinkyou were like you want to do a
podcast.
I was like fuck it, let's go,yeah.
And then at one point I thinkyou were like you want to do a
podcast.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I was like fuck it, let's go.
Yeah, I was.
I was getting some commentsabout are you ever going to do a
podcast and I was thinkingabout it as I was like if I do
one, I'd want to do one withsomebody.
I like the, the two persondynamic more, and then I started
talking to liam about it and Ithink liam had a couple comments
asking if he was going to do apodcast and we were just like
fuck it, let's do it yeah, burp,let's go.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And then you put up like a funny picture of me when
I was like making a smoothie.
You're like liam and I aredoing a podcast and everyone's
like you picked the perfectframe.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm like, listen, I'm in it, I'm all for looking like
I don't give a shit did youguys ever expect to have so many
brushes with the judicial andlegal system when you got into
doing this, as we all have?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I haven't had too much really at all.
I've been very, like, kind offortunate how it's played out.
I haven't had much, could havehad a lot more it's always been
threads.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's never been like an actual letter or somebody
reaching out.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's usually empty threads yeah, most of the
threats I get are just I'm gonnacut off your beard people mad,
people get mad at anythingthough I had somebody ask me
recently how do you deal withthe hate?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And I'm like well, if you're going to be on the
Internet, you're going to gethate and you just kind of have
to recognize that.
What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Does it affect you guys anymore?
Does it even bother you?
Not really no.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I basically try and like I will listen to critiques
and if I think they actuallyhold water, you know I will
actually.
Okay, this person actuallyseems like they have a concern.
That's fine, I've taken videosdown because I'm like, yeah, I
could have been more accuratewith that.
I probably should have saidsomething like this All right,
that's fine, Fair enough.
But like, then there's that andthen there's the people that
(08:22):
are just pissed.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
They're like oh, fucking aspartame poison.
I'm like let's just have somefun with this.
Then, yeah, did you know, whenthey they put 50 rats in a sock
and smacked them against thetable, they all died.
Yeah was crazy.
But yeah, you guys are not likepersonally offended by anything
anymore, it's it.
I've, I've received that samepersonal criticism.
Oh, you know what I?
I could have worded thatdifferently let me, let me do it
again but I'm not going to beopen to that right yeah, yeah,
(08:51):
it's a rare thing, it really is,but it's important to the
scientific method and I knowboth of you guys are very
science-minded.
Uh, liam, you come from sleepmedicine not many people know
that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh man doing that shit like what I'm telling you
for anybody out there workingnights, god bless you.
It just fucks with everythinglike like sleep is like the
foundation and when you don'tsleep well like I know because I
got a two-year-old it justaffects everything.
Do what you can.
That's what I'll say so what?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
what got you to post your first video?
And I'm going to ask Rob, I'mgoing to ask you the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, you asked me first.
Okay, so I started posting gymskits.
That's where I started BecauseI was really into the gym and I
also loved like sketch comedy.
Like you know, your fucking Keyand Peele, dave, spellave,
spell bad tv, snl, all thatstuff and I was like, let me do
(09:48):
some fun stuff.
So it's still there, like youcan go back.
Listen, I stand by a few ofthose fuckers.
They're funny.
Okay, a couple of those werereally funny, most of them not
so much, but like there was acouple that were real good.
Um, I even built a whole fakegym made out of wood in my
basement for one sketch, for a,literally for a scene that was
three seconds long.
I built, I spent so long andyou know what dedication fucking
(10:12):
worth it, absolutely worth it.
And then I had to pull all thatout of there and then there was
just wood shavings everywherefor like months.
Still worth it.
That was funny.
That was one of my favoritevideos, uh.
So, yeah, I was doing that.
And then, yeah, and then I wasgoing to school for nutrition.
I was like I talk about food, Ilike food, and so, um, I, I
(10:32):
made like a couple of videos andthose did just like a little
bit better.
So I was like, okay, we trythis now.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Do you remember the first time that you did one of
your reaction videos whereyou're in the corner watching
the uh the video up here in thecorner, the uh the format I
guess you'd be best known fornow that is a good question that
I don't know the answer to.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I don't know if I I think I was seeing some like I'm
sure, because I started offwith like the debunking stuff,
so I'm sure it was like somenonsense, but I don't know what.
The first v, I don't know.
I don't remember what I'm gonnahave to.
I'm kind of curious.
I don't want to go back and seewhat, like the first video was,
but I don't remember thisraises an important point.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Anybody who might want to do the same thing as the
three of us posting videosonline.
If you're getting too preciousabout the things that you're
posting, you don't need to bebecause it's there.
I'm at the point now wherethere's videos.
I don't remember filming.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I've put them up and I'm like that was me.
I can see myself, but I wasn'tpresent for this.
I guess you know how?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
you can't step into the same river twice.
Mike can't film the same videotwice, doesn't remember?
There's a connection there.
You know what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
We'll workshop it.
If you had more sleep, I thinkyour brain would work just a
little bit better, just a littlebit.
That's the importance of sleep.
Right here we're seeing a manat his wits end.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
These are the effects of a lack of sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Robert the effects of children.
What about your first video?
Where did you come from?
Why did you start posting?
Why did you decide to grace uswith your handsome mug?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
it was the start of covid and you know, the rise of
social media and TikTok andeverything.
And the gyms had closed and Iwas sitting around bored and I
downloaded TikTok and I decidedto try to push myself out of my
comfort zone a little bit more,because growing up with the
(12:21):
whole social anxiety disorderwas constantly a case of I don't
want to be stuck in my room,scared of everything for the
rest of my life.
So it's been a constant onefoot in front of the other, try
to get outside the comfort zoneand that's what I did.
I posted on the internet and ittook off and I was like what
(12:43):
the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It really is interesting when people start to
show up and respond, especiallywhen none of us set out to have
an audience.
It just happened to us.
How have you changed as humanbeings in that time?
Have I changed since I?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
started making videos .
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, because I know I've changed in certain ways.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I know my anxiety is definitely lower.
I'm not going to say gone, butlower, that's for sure.
And I can handle the uh, thetrolls even better now.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It wasn't always that case for me the only thing, I.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's really, I think, changed for me is, um,
embracing, being a stupid head.
I think it's like what I wouldsay.
It's like big difference for meBecause, like I've always been
a stupid head, right, but like,oh for starting.
You know, when I started off Iwas like, oh, I need to be, look
like, you know, I'm officialand I know things and like all
these things.
And eventually I was like, no,no, I'll look at like a stupid
(13:41):
head and like a clown, but alsogive you like good information
and cite shit so people knowthat I do know what I'm talking
about, because, like it's socialmedia and like it's just also
life, like you gotta have funand be dumb and like whatever
that's.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So I think, just more embracing, that I think people
really appreciate that in aworld of self-proclaimed experts
and people who are unwilling tobudge, to have somebody that
picks up a recipe from theinternet and makes it in a way
that looks very realistic, likenot the way that it's presented
on screen, where everything'slike all aesthetically perfect
and everything it's like this isprobably what yours is going to
(14:17):
look like and this is what minelooks like, and I'm going to
make it, I'm going to eat it andhere's how I feel about it, and
you just like it just eatswatermelon and cheese watermelon
cheese.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Watermelon cheese watermelon and feta.
I mean, like, obviously you dothe cracker as well, but I'm
saying watermelon, feta, maybe alittle balsamic in there, maybe
a mint or basil, that shit'sgood rob, what's your weird food
combination?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
mine's ketchup um.
I'm autistic.
I don't combine food, I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Everything has to be separate.
I'll tell you what mine is.
I've eaten it since I was likesix years old.
My mom would always make it forme and I called it the special
and I would say, hey, make methe special again.
The special this is going toshock you, this is going to
shock everyone.
They're like Liam eats thesethings.
They're like Liam eats thesethings no fucking way.
But I did and I do.
Corn beans and cottage cheesemixed together those three
(15:13):
things I would eat it like everysingle day.
It was cheap, had protein andfiber.
I was set.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The fact that you said cottage cheese.
This is going to end up on TMZtomorrow because you said
cottage cheese.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We're like it's cottage cheese.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So can we clear up a couple of things about you and
cottage cheese.
We're like it's cottage cheese,so like can we just can we
clear up a couple of thingsabout you and cottage cheese
right now, while we have theopportunity, because you don't
hate it I.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I've been eating it since I was like fucking five,
six years old.
Cottage cheese is great.
It's just like cauliflower isgreat.
Here's the thing about both ofthose things.
They don't belong in everything.
It drives me crazy.
When I see like cottage cheeseice cream and brownies, I'm just
like I'm over it all.
I've tried it.
It's awful.
You know what I have sitting inmy freezer right now?
(15:56):
Three pints of cottage cheeseice cream from this fucking
cottage cheese company.
Oh, I'm gonna try thosetomorrow.
I'm not looking forward to it.
I'm actually dreading it.
I am dreading having to eatthis goddamn cottage cheese ice
cream.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh, did you have any of them already, because I think
I saw one of the videos.
Possibly or maybe it was justyou.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I haven't eaten any of them.
No, I've tried to make cottagecheese ice cream myself and that
was not good.
Didn't like it.
But hey, I hope maybe it's good.
I hope it's good, that'd benice.
Otherwise I gotta throw awaythree pints ice ice cream.
Maybe Oakley will like it.
I don't.
If I don't like it, my hopesare so low.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So you hear that everybody Liam doesn't hate
cottage cheese.
You don't have to tag him ineverything cottage cheese
related.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Put it on your rice and beans.
Oh, man, red beans and rice.
Oh, get some cottage cheese onthere.
You throw it with, like youknow, your beef or whatever.
Great, it's all awesome.
Mac and cheese of cottagecheese Perfect.
Make it into queso, sure.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It is a good and versatile ingredient.
It doesn't have to be ineverything.
So, rob, you have recently sortof switched modes a little bit.
We, the the old style of yousliding into the frame and using
your whiteboard, yourgreenboard, whatever you want to
call it has moved out of theway a bit in favor of some other
(17:19):
content.
You want to explain theevolution here?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Explain Evolution would be a combination of just
redoing my office space, movingoff the space you know, I moved
from one place to another toanother and each time the office
layout changes as well as justplaying around with editing
styles.
Actually, um, I love everyopportunity to learn, and that
(17:43):
includes the audio and the videoaspects of the videos and
learning how to do transitionsand all the green screen stuff,
and it's just an evolution overtime and playing with new things
.
Where do you both think thatyou'll be?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
in 10 years oh god, jesus right, what am I in a
fucking interview?
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Let me tell you something what are your plans
with this in moderation company?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
if you fucking told me a year, two years ago,
whatever, when I was likeworking fucking nights in sleep
medicine, like, oh yeah, you'regonna quit your job and be a
goddamn influencer, get the fuckout of here.
No, I'm not.
There's no.
What are you?
High and drunk?
That's.
There's no way that's happening.
(18:27):
And so, like, 10 years from now, I have no idea.
I'm just fucking just seat ofmy pants.
That's what I go with.
Everyone's like you play.
No, I ain't playing it now.
Seat of my pants.
That's what's fun about life,man, I don't know.
I want to go like travel placeswhere you want to visit.
Fuck, if I know I'm gonna go tothe airport at some point.
Be like thailand, let's go.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That's a plane assign me a dart at the map thing.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah no idea that's enjoy life right and it's just
like roll with it I.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Part of that question was just to deconstruct the
idea that we have any ideawhat's going on.
Yeah right, just because we'regood at editing and we're good
at speaking in the edits andcutting it together in a way
that seems coherent does notmean that we know everything,
nor do we want to claim we knoweverything.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Well, considering I'm an old man, I'll probably and
be in my rocking chair out onthe porch with pippin you'll be
what 50, and you're not old atthat point that's old for the
internet, come on.
That's old for the Internet,come on.
That's old for the.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Internet.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I'm 31.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm old for you and you're streaming video games at
50?
God damn you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I get called Unk every day, you guys getting
called Unk.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
yet I don't think I get called Unk very maybe once
or twice in a comment, but notoften.
I just get called that cottagecheese guy.
That's pretty much all I'mknown by hey the cottage cheese
guy.
If there's a video aboutcottage cheese that blows up,
they're just like.
I can't wait to see the cottagecheese guy about this like.
This is always one of the top.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
They don't even know your name anymore.
They don't know, they're likesomebody tagged the cottage
cheese guy.
And then there's a fuckingstring of liam tags like oh god
and then your response is alwaysI don't hate cottage cheese
I've seen it and I like cottagecheese, but it doesn't like it
would make sense if yourreaction was like bombastic, you
know, but it's, you're justlike I'm, it's fine, it is what
(20:19):
it is but like at this point, Ijust lead into it and pretend
like I'm dying every timethere's cottage cheese like um,
there's like a, there's anotherone with it now.

protein and I'll just I'm justgonna be like I'll shit a
testicle if this doesn't havecottage cheese or something.
Just start off with that and belike, as soon as it, you know,
hits.
Then you're just slowly dyingthroughout the video.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But neither of you were going.
You know, mr beast level onanalytics, trying to figure out
like what is it that thealgorithm wants, what?
What is it that I can do tooptimize my numbers?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
at this point I've given up on the algorithm same
he's got a whole mr beast man,he's got like a whole team and
shit figuring out.
My my thing goes as far as likehey, this video did pretty well
.

Why people like it?
Oh, that might be why why like?
Make again similar, make more,do more.
That's yeah, that's pretty muchwhat I got.

Be funny and be funny, makejoke, give advice that work for
humans.
That's pretty much what I gotspeak monosyllic.
I want to do a whole video justlike one word things at a time.
I feel like that would dopretty well.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Probably it might do well with a certain demographic.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I mean, when it comes to the internet, any
demographic you'll take, right,it doesn't matter as long as you
get views.
Hear food Eat now.

If you'd like to support the InModeration podcast, get our
views up for here our watch time.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, can I ask you something?
Let me ask you two something.
I like the white noise when Igo to sleep, right, so I
download the white noise appsand I gotta ask who the hell are
listening to some of thesesounds besides serial killers,
like some of these sounds arejust like a clock ticking Tick,
(23:06):
tock, tick, tock.
I'm like if you listen to thatto go to sleep, we need to check
on you.
Everyone needs to check on you,like immediately.
Or water dripping is one ofthem.
Water dripping from the faucetDrip, drip, drip.
Psychopaths.
(23:27):
Psychopaths are the only peoplethat would be interested in
listening to that.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's the kind of noise that they play when
they're trying to elicit a senseof suspense or fear in a movie.
Yeah, that's not something.
I want to fall asleep to.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Who is listening to that?
How is that an option?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Gastids are flabbered .
Speaker 1 (23:50):
If you're the person listening to that, send liam
your favorite drip track tell mewhy you listen to the drip
track and the tick of talks.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I need to know so you guys don't know what you're
going to be doing in 10 years.
I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I don't think anybody should I don't know what I'm
doing in 10 days what are youguys doing tomorrow?
Um, I gotta make sure my doggoes to the vet to get teeth
pulled out of his face.
Does that count?
That counts.
I think he's an italiangreyhound, so their teeth are
always shit and he's probablygonna have to get some pulled.
We don't know, they're gonnahave to get pulled, but he's
probably gonna have to get somepulled this is.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I've gotten a tooth pulled by accident here on the
in moderation podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think I told you guys that story weren't you
eating something, and likesomehow the food ripped and I
don't laugh at heavy yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
so on my first appearance here, on in
moderation, I brought bananalaffy taffy with me to bother
the both of you, um, in my own,in each of your separate ways,
because one of you doesn't likeLaffy Taffy, the other one
doesn't like bananas, and I juststarted eating it silently, not
bringing anything to it, justwaiting for someone to mention
(24:54):
it.
And in the process of doingthis, I pulled out a filling.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, you pulled out the filling, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Remind me why we brought him back.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I think that's why I think that's why we brought him
back.
I think that's why I thinkthat's why we brought him back
is because he pulled out afilling with laffy taffy.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Come on, that shit's impressive I have suffered the
most bodily injury of all ofyour guests.
I hope you have someone beeninjured worse through a taping
of in moderation no, I think youare successfully the only
person that's been injured.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
yeah, yeah, and everything's been fine.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I did not have a stunt double for pulling out my
filling with banana Laffy Taffy.
I have a stunt double for thispodcast.
I'm going on.
It's like who is this?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
guy that looks kind of like Mike, I know what.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I'm doing next week.
I'm hiring a stunt double.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Doesn't seem to know anything about his career.
Sounds different.
That's great His eyes are adifferent color.
What's going on with this?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
guy, bro, you know what I would kill for Cat eyes
when they go like up and down,they have that like the vertical
.
That shit would be so cool theyprobably have contacts for that
.
Oh, now I got to look into that.
You think I can get eyestransplanted?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
So transplanted.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Can I get like cat eyes transplanted into my eyes?
Just grow some cat eyes on theback of a rat and have them
transplant them into you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Why.
That seems like extra work.
Can't I just take them from acat?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What if I ask nicely Would the eyes be big enough?
You?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
think they'll be interested.
I want cat eyes Talk to adoctor.
Just put them in there Like I'ma podiatrist.
I'm a podiatrist, you're like,I don't care, put them in my
face.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Bring it to a chiropractor.
They are more than willing togo out of their scope.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I'd be more likely to do it.
Yeah, of course I can do that.
You want them to work better?
Yeah, I want them to workbetter.
Throw them in there, Dowhatever you gotta do.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Sorry to the three ethical chiropractors out there
who might be listening to thisyou want a lizard tongue?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Fuck you.
Of course I want a lizardtongue.
What are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Adam Wright just got those fangs in.
You saw that right yeah, talkto him about somebody.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Now we got to one-up him with cat eyes.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
All of us are all getting cat eyes Excellent.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
There was a period of time where I don't know if you
guys were ever consumers of theGuinness Book of World Records,
but there would always be anentry for somebody who had the
most body modifications, and itwas always some guy trying to
turn into a lion or a cat orsomething like that.
We could.
What happened to that line ofwork?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, I know some of them like world's fattest cat,
had to be taken out becausepeople were just force feeding
their cats to be fat as shityeah yeah, so they literally
don't keep track of that anymorebecause it's just because so
much obesity in the catpopulation, uh, they also.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, I think the question is, or the answer is,
that uh, people got too stupidand guinness had to stop doing
it because they'd get people gottoo stupid explanation for
everything stupid ballooning to32 pounds as a cat, just to find
out that you're third oh, it'snot even.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm not even on the podium of fat cats, god damn not
that they can climb up thereanyway they did the same thing
with um uh, most time spentawake without sleep People which
are kind of trying to breakthat and causing a bunch of
problems.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
All of the most dangerous ones.
Like they had to take out themost time shooting yourself in
the head award, that one wentreally badly.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
It was one for the longest time they got to do.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Most time spent underwater.
That's it.
Longest amount of time spentwith a bear.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
One guy got around the rules by being with a gay
man.
Just a different kind of bear,it's fine.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
We spent 13 beautiful years together and counting.
That's cute.
Now that's going to be in theGuinness Book of World Records
cutest love story in the world.
I think it's with that one.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Just pick any.
Can I tell you what I, what Ihave like?
A vendetta against hallmarkmovies I'm glad that went.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I've seen people talk about hallmark movies when I
worked in sleep medicine.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I would always go in and my patients be watching it.
And let me just disclaimer herewhatever you like, that's
awesome.
I'm not telling you to stopliking that thing, but for me I
cannot stand hallmark movies.
It sounds like it was writtenby ai before.
Ai was a thing like it's justthe most basic, like same story
every single time and I'm justlike which.
(29:18):
I guess it's just a formula,but like damn, can we change it
up a little bit?
It's like it's it's.
I can't.
I can't with the Hallmarkmovies.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Have you seen?
If you were listening to this?
Please don't unfriend mebecause of Liam's views.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Rob said nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I said nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Have you seen those collages where it shows the like
, the posters for all thoseChristmas movies, the Hallmark
movies, and all of the postersare the same.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's like the guy's wearing green, she's wearing red
.
You can play them on top ofeach other.
They would all go the same.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's like how you play Pink Floyd alongside the
Wizard of Oz and it lines up alittle bit.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
You just play all these movies next to each other
and they're beat for beat andagain like listen, I've watched
Lord of the Rings for I don'tknow how many times, so like I'm
watching the same thing overand over again.
And if you like it, that's cool, but I can't, because I'm just
like why this is a differentmovie.
Do something different you knowwhat?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm gonna be really fair here.
If there was something wherethey're just copying the same
format as back to the futureover and over again, with
slightly different actors eachtime, same beats, same storyline
there and there, I think thatwould satisfy my autism as well.
There'd be nothing I could doabout it.
I've got a disgusting amount ofmemorabilia surrounding me
(30:30):
right now, this right here oh, Imean, it's right on your, is it
?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
you might have taken off.
I was gonna say, it's myprobably on your wrist oh yes,
right here.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
This is marty mcfly's watch.
These are pieces of the realdelorean time machine nice watch
over here, I I've got the fluxcapacitor.
Watch.
What else do I have?
I've got a DeLorean right here.
I've got the hoverboard righthere.
What else can I grab?
There's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I've got the keys to a real DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
right here, I have spent a lot of money on
something that should have beentreated.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Dude DeLoreans, for how terrible the cars were, I
would still totally drive one.
They look cool as shit.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
They do and the thing is, as bad cars as they were, a
lot of them are still driving.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Because they look so cool.
They're like I don't care howshitty this car's mechanics are.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I want to drive something that looks neat.
It is a timeless vehicle.
It has really become a truetime machine.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, like, although other people get famous and rich
and they're gonna buy, likeferraris, I'm gonna get a
delorean drive that shit aroundlet's, let's have that be part
of the 10-year plan that's in 10years driving a delorean I'm in
, I'm totally in owning adelorean in 10 years.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
We'll meet up and we'll just cruise around town at
a steady 60 miles per hour,because the car didn't really go
much faster than that.
Without rattling, I'll be onthe highway pissing everybody
off.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I'm Googling how much a DeLorean costs.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
They're not the most ridiculously expensive cars I
have looked.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Okay.
So it looks like if you'relooking for pristine mint, you
want a really good one.
If you're looking for likepristine mint, like you want
like a really good one, you'relooking around a hundred grand.
But I'm seeing some other onesfor like 50, 60,000, around 60.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You can get them used .
I've seen them as low as 32,000, 35,000 ish, which is not
necessarily low for a car that's40 years old.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
But it's not necessarily high for a car
that's 40 years old.
It's not necessarily high for acar that's kind of famous.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, if you just happen to run into some scratch,
yeah, sure you get a 1990 DodgeDart for 200 bucks, but I want
a DeLorean damn it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, if you want a 4,000-pound coupe made of solid
steel, then sure go ahead, grabit.
Fun fact about the deloreanreal quick.
People would think that thegullwing doors these guys right
here would be a problem, likeyou couldn't get out if you're
parked next to a car.
This is only a 14 inchclearance is all you need, which
is much smaller than theaverage car door that just opens
(33:01):
up a big ass truck I only getlike four inches on one side
because parking's large searchis so small.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Listen, rob, we're skipping over my good dick joke
here.
We can't we need that.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm sorry wait, let's , let's repeat the good dick
joke.
Let's get this to be the clipthat plays right in the
beginning yeah, yeah, yeah, goahead, say your line wait which
line they're 14 inches ofclearance.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
You dummy, come on, work with me now, jesus Christ,
when you're getting out of aDeLorean.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It's a fun fact.
You only need 14 inches ofclearance.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And if you're me, you only need two.
All right.
Play that at the hook, Rob, atthe beginning of the episode,
please.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
All right, I will make a note of that.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
If only we had a time machine to go back and do that
the right way, the way itdeserved, oh damn.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
It looks like the average price is $64,249.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Well, this is a good time to announce our GoFundMe.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
The money for a DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The in moderation, delorean.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Listen, I know there's charities that could use
it and people really need themoney to pay for bills, but your
boy needs a DeLorean.
Come on, charity.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
That's what we say here on the In Moderation
podcast.
You can have that right upfront too.
Fuck charity.
We're getting a DeLorean.
We're going to get it wrappedwith in moderation insignia.
We're going to basically whatvinyl?
Wrap the brushed steel on it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I think this is all out.
Yeah, I'm loving these cars.
The more I look into this likeI'm, more I'm sold on the
DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Liam is sold on the DeLorean.
I'm already sold on theDeLorean.
I'm ready.
I'll go halfsies with you ifyou want.
We're both too tall to get inthat thing, are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
me right now.
Listen, listen, listen.
I drive a 2012 Nissan Sentra.
I can fit in that thing.
I can fit in this goddamnDeLorean the.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
DeLorean, you've got to be like 5'8 to get in there.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
No, no, no, no, no, no, we'll make it.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Don't make it work.
Have your knees ever touchedthe steering wheel?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
I got cat eyes and my feet cut off to fit in a
DeLorean, but man, I'm rollingin style motherfuckers.
Can't see shit anymore, but itdoesn't matter, I'm blind and I
got no feet, but man do I lookcool in this DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah, see, that's everybody else's problem, not
mine.
They can move out of the way Iam cruising.
What's next for you guys?
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Buying a DeLorean.
Fuck it.
Where have you been for the?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I'm no interviewer, he's just reading off his list
of questions.
I think these are all questionsthat came out of a yearbook.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
That's what's next.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
I move to just outside of Albany.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
New York.
Your shirt says Jamaica, notNew York.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Jamaica.
That's where I got married.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
There is a place in Queens known as Jamaica.
There is, queens is in New York, so that could be where you're
going.
It would be the wrong flag.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I don't want to go to New York City, that is too much
for this guy, but but.
But right outside Albany iscool because you can visit New
York City in two and a halfhours, you can visit Boston in
about two and a half hours.
You can visit Montreal in aboutthree and a half hours or so.
It's nice and centrally located.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Crazy coincidence how all these places that were
founded on horseback are allvery close to each other.
Crazy how nature works.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
What a coincidence.
It's almost like they couldn'tgo very far.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's almost like that's it.
Then, once they get out here toall this incidental land Dude?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I just listened to an episode of the doll up a great
podcast.
Stop listening to this one, goto listen to that one.
And they were talking about thehorse flu.
That happened where, like allthese horses got sick and this
was when there was no cars andhorses did everything and just
like city shut down because theydidn't have any horsepower and
so, like it was, just everythingwent to shit and they were like
(36:52):
people like trying to get thehorses out there.
They're sick and they're pukingand it's just crazy, like every
horse, every horse was sick,kind of reminds.
It's like if we had like one ofthose solar flares and like
just all the vehicles shut downor whatever.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
All the horses lost their wifi connection Exactly.
Vehicle shut down or whateverthe hell the horse has lost
their wi-fi connection exactly.
I think I'd be nervous to ridea horse for too long.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I feel like I was hurting them if you were to get
one part of a horse transplantedonto your body.
What are you picking?
What do you think I'm picking?
Come on, I'm listen.
This is a legitimate question.
I picked cat eyes, you guysit's the main, I'm going bald.
Come on, you gotta dismantle Iwant a nice mane.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Okay, we got mane.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Mike, what are you picking?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I'm going to pick the Don't disappoint me the front
half of the horse.
It's going to be a centaur Iwant to be a centaur, but
without the back.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The reverse centaur.
Just a regular it's like werejust like the back half and the
front half was a horse.
I thought you were doing thefull-on reverse centaur.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
You're just the back half.
You're just the back half, justthe butt.
I can't see anything.
But that is everybody else'sproblem.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
As far as I'm concerned, you didn't even get
the best part of the horse.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Two back legs bent over for life.
Giant dick.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Oh, two back legs bent over for life, giant dick,
oh, this is in moderation, wherewe teach you about health and
how to improve, improve yourlife we need to bring on another
scientist, like we had a vishaon in that one episode.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We I say we as if I'm running this thing you guys had
well, you are just happen to behere and we were talking about
something ridiculous.
I forget what it was, but hewas trying to assign like real
science to it.
It was penis enlargement,because we're children I think
he was talking about, like thescientific ways that like it
could potentially happen if wewere to like potentially explore
(38:40):
, like cellular destruction andlike a controlled environment.
He was like going really in onit, providing wonderful insight.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's great.
This is why our podcast isimportant.
We ask the big questions.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
The big questions.
Very important questions.
The big questions, the largequestions.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Or for some people it's a small question, the
girthy questions.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
The doctor says it's completely fine questions.
Has anybody ever asked you?
Speaker 1 (39:08):
guys about coaching.
That's a you problem question.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
That's the big ones hurt questions.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It's the.
I've got a good personalityquestion.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
This should have been the hour Back and forth on this
.
What's the compliment you guysreceive the most and what is the
criticism you receive the most?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Oh shit, For me.
Mine is I get the weight lossmost.
And what is the criticism youreceived the most?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
oh, shit for me I received the most I.
I get the uh, the weight loss,mr rogers.
Very often people throw thatone at me.
Um, the insult that I get themost often.
I don't even know.
I'm gonna have to think on that.
Let's start with the.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
The compliment first my compliment I get the most is
um nice beard and the insult Iget the most is I hate your
beard well, that's funny,because mine are also the same
thing.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
It's like cottage cheese.
It's the compliment and theinsult how much can you grow
liam?
Oh god, uh, have you ever seenan amish neck beard?
Speaker 2 (40:02):
because boy how can I grow?
Mean one of those, becauseyou've always got the soul patch
.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I've not ever seen anything else yeah, because it's
uh, I mean I'm probably betternow, but it still grows patchy
shit.
So I uh don't do that.
Uh, but I don't really, I don'tknow.
Like people always, you know,say like I help them.
The relationship with food andstuff and not like freaking out,
so much is probably the mainthing is just like oh, it's
gonna be all cool, and then likeinsult, uh, yeah, probably just
(40:32):
the typical, like you just wantpeople to eat ultra processed
foods and sit on the couch anddo nothing and I'm like that's
exactly.
Yep, nailed it, that's.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
I just want people to inhale aspartame like I want.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Those like uh, get that vaporized, breathe it in no
, no, you want people to inhaleTylenol.
I mean any chemical.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Spread that autism around.
What's your?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
favorite chemical.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Red 40.
Favorite chemical.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
There was something, liam, that you had said a long
time ago where you said I neverexpected that my career would be
defending Red 40 on theInternet when I don't even
necessarily want to promote it.
It's like that's not the goalhere.
No one's like, yeah, just drinkvials of red 40.
We're just saying like thereare issues that go far beyond
(41:18):
all of the stuff that fearmongers push along, and we're
just like you don't have to beafraid of this, and the longer
you are, the longer you'll bedistracted from what you really
need to be paying attention to.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, maybe just eat some fiber and get some sleep
and stop worrying about food dye.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Well, don't you guys want to make steps in the right
direction?
Baby steps, bro, baby steps,like we're baby stepping in the
wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
I'll give you those fucking horse feet.
Then you take baby steps.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
What are the macros of horse feet?
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Lots of collagen, I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Collagen, incomplete protein.
Useful Everybody's aware it's.
You know it does have itsbenefits, but not as a protein.
What would you most want peopleto know that you don't often
get to say?
Because I got a couple ofthings out today about I won't
say what the event is, we'lljust let it pass along, but some
necessary things about tensionsin our country that I really
(42:12):
want to say more, but it youknow the opportunity doesn't
present itself too often.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I think I want to, because kind of maybe along
those lines, history repeatsitself.
That's what I want to tellpeople all the time.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Probably just something simple like stop being
goddamn dicks to each other,always solid it takes more
energy to be a dick.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
It takes a lot of energy to be a dick and to be
hateful and spiteful andeverything.
It is actually literally theeasier option to not do that.
Very interesting how that works.
How do you guys feel aboutbeing guests so far on a podcast
?
Speaker 1 (42:49):
How is that?
We're doing what's happening?
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Well, we're about to start recording.
Oh, all right, we're just aboutto press the button.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Sorry, I was putting a bit in.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
I've clocked out.
Liam's looking up like how toget a horse cock Into a DeLorean
.
In a DeLorean.
Will it get it under thesteering wheel, can I?
Speaker 1 (43:08):
clear it through.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
TSA everything will be fine.
Well, I think you guys didfantastic as guests today for
this, this hundredth episodeyeah, a hundred episodes is
crazy.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
What's also kind of crazy is like you barely
remember any of it.
Like what episode?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
maybe an episode I'm like oh shit, a couple episodes
ago we were talking about whatto do and we were like, well,
maybe we should do our what ourfavorite episodes or moments
were, and then we were both likewe can't remember it yesterday,
let alone like that's.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
It's funny because I listened to the other uh
podcasts that talk about likehistory and stuff.
They're like I don't rememberany of the episodes, like I
couldn't even tell you what likewe talked about.
I'm like I remember a few weeksago we were talking about ear
sex.
That's pretty much like you andI.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
This entire podcast is ear sex at one point, you and
I, liam, we spent about 10minutes talking about tank nuts,
which were just like truck nutson a tank yes, 300 pounds of
steel alloy dragging behind atank.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
We don't need the GoFundMe, we just sell tank nuts
to get the DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
This is I've got a story about just like how little
we remember things, because I'msure people do.
People ever quote you guys atyou sometimes and you're like I
don't remember even saying that.
My things are more just things.
I say all the time.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
My things are always just like everybody.
I get just like I really likeyour videos out of 10.
I'm like that's good that'sgood, it's.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I like that, you know it's it.
Just, it plays into the spiritof of the ends of the videos you
put out.
One time somebody had sent me apicture of a tattoo that they
had, with a beautiful quote onit.
It was I forget at this pointwhat it was which is going to
lend itself here to the storyand they sent me a picture of it
and I'm like that's, that'sbeautiful, fantastic, thank you
(45:00):
so much for sharing it with me.
And they said, yeah, it's, thisreally means a lot to me.
I go back to that video fromtime to time to listen to it and
I'm like what do you mean?
You go back to that video.
I said oh yeah, yeah.
And then I thought about it andI'm like oh wait, they sent
this to me and they're talkingabout a video, because it's
something I said that theytattooed on their body and I
(45:24):
didn't remember saying it.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
I hope that person's not listening to this podcast
right now and you still nowdon't remember what it is.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
I have now gone back and watched that video, but now
I don't remember what the quoteis at this point.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
You still don't remember, Even after all, that
that's great.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
There are people out there and this is not an
isolated case either.
There are other people with mywords on their bodies right now
and I'm like some of them.
I remember some of them.
I'm like I said it in a videobecause I was having a crisis
and I, I guess, I said somethingthat sounded life-changing to
you and you decided toimmortalize it, and I appreciate
it beyond appreciation.
But my brain can only well,it's decided.
(46:01):
My first tattoo is going to bewords from mike get yourself a
horse cock and size yourself upfor a delorean mine's just gonna
be trunk, uh, tank, nuts tanknuts for uh episode 200,
speaking of that same episode,because this was in that same
episode we should watch uh heilhoney, I'm home, oh, god dude
(46:22):
dude, we gotta watch oh man,dude, we've got to watch, oh man
.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
We need to just watch that for an episode.
We need to do that soon.
I need this in my life.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
We'll just tell everybody when to start.
It'll be like a timer and thenyou just press play on YouTube
and then we can watch ittogether.
I mean, are they really goingto be pursuing copyright on that
?
You're going to get the HeilHitler production team.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
As long as we don't play the audio and everybody's
listening it to it in their ownbrowser, we can do it but for
those of you that don't know,there was a sitcom where hitler
was the main character.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Not the real hitler, it was a an actor playing him.
I don't know, do you?
Speaker 1 (47:01):
have to specify dead.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
We're in a post-nuance society right now.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Oh shit, that's funny .
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Well, anyway, happy, happy, remember 9-11, everyone
Happy 9-11.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Oh yeah, that's a thing for you Americans tomorrow
, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yes, 9-11.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Yeah, certainly not happy, but it's something that
we do remember, I do.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I was because, yeah, I mean I was 10.
I was 10 when that happened, soI do remember that.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
I would have been seven.
I was on the bus.
I remember thinking to myselfbecause we had a math test that
morning.
I was thinking to myself howcould this day get any worse?
Speaker 3 (47:40):
I remember waking up and logging on to a video game
and people started being like,oh my god, turn on the news and
I went to the living room and Iturned on the news.
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
I remember being at school and everyone was kind of
freaking out and I had no ideawhat was going on, because but
especially since I was in albany, because I was like two and a
half hours away from new yorkcity, so it's like not far I
realize everybody else istalking about being at school
and I'm talking about playingvideo games.
Speaker 3 (48:06):
I definitely, definitely wasn't playing hooky,
don't know.
I, I did.
I say I was playing video games, I meant I was at school.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
We were all at school .
Everyone was at school.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
We were at school, yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Well, Rob, I didn't expect that this day would be
marred with the image of youskipping school.
I'll never be able to getthrough this day without
thinking about it.
What a tragedy you've doneskipping out on your education.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
My social anxiety was so bad in high school, which is
when that happened.
Um, I actually like full-ondropped out for a year because I
could not handle it, and thatwas before you know all the
diagnosis and stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
So it was just some weird thing right but you've
worked on it, you've changed,you've grown.
I think we I can say that aboutall three of us safely.
If not, uh, call me out we haveall grown and changed as as
human beings in these lastexcept for when it comes to
penis jokes except that, no,that will never.
(49:05):
We're only getting better atthat out of 10.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Out of 10.
Good night everybody.
Yeah, I had to open up.
We're getting a house in NewYork.
I don't know if I mentionedthat to you, mike, but yeah,
we're getting a house in NewYork and I had to try and open a
new bank account and they'relike you need to come into a
branch to verify your identity.
I was like fuck you, I don't.
That's like 800 miles away.
You got to figure some othershit out.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Just check my verified status on my Facebook
page or my TikTok page and likeor my right like well, listen,
we're not the stone age here,it's not 1827.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You can hit a button right now and see my face.
What do you mean?
I gotta go into a branch hell.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
No, are we recording?
We are uh yes, the episode hasbegun the episode has begun.
It begins whenever youintroduce it, because you're now
the host welcome to in a showwith a moderate dose of sarcasm,
info, and we already know we'renot approved.
Today is the 100th episode ofIn Moderation.
(00:52):
Can you believe?
Well, I think, aside from theinterstitials and the
incidentals in between, this isthe 100th serial episode of In
Moderation.
What an incredible show.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
What I can't believe is you've been on 76 of them I
just keep coming back there's Iam getting so many people uh,
send me messages or commentslike, oh hey, you're that guy
from in moderation.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's like a permit which is a crazy thing for
someone who is not a a host ofin moderation to be the guy from
In Moderation.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well, after this episode, you'll be able to say
that you were a host on InModeration.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean technically, I was the one time what a couple
of weeks ago, right?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh, that's true yeah, no, that was Liam and I'll be
back again.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Look, you guys are free to kick me out anytime you
want.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I have not asked to be here.
I'm kicking him out nowepisode's over.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, we only pretend to hate you, it's fine it's the
whole point.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's like you know how uh are you guys fans of
conan o'brien?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I do like conan o'brien he's, he's like the
comic that can really, I feellike, get a so many different
groups of people laughing, youknow he can bring everybody
together.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's not divisive, you know, and he's super
self-deprecating, but in a veryendearing way and, um, he's way
better than me.
I'm not claiming to be wrongwith that.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Hey, you guys know conan o'brien.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He's better than me, I'm just identifying people we
should be hiring conan o'brieninstead of yes, that's what you
should be doing.
Why are you bringing me here?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
you're the timu conan o'brien, I'm the team.
You're the one we can afford.
That's not too bad.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean I would take timu conan o'brien all day yeah,
I'm putting that in my obituary.
That's if I could be like timu,like um jim carrey I'm.
I'm all in on that.
That sounds great.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I like that I kind of want to see your.
Well, alrighty, then.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Alrighty, then I fucking love Ace Ventura, pet
Detective one and two, even like, even early on, like Cable Guy.
Oh, the Mask, the Mask was sogood.
I rewatched the Mask a couplemonths ago jim carey man, he's,
he's fucking, he's got it, he'sgot it.
(03:10):
Oh me, myself and irene, sounderrated, so underrated, well
worth it I think he's gonna makeit.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I really do he's gonna quit his day job so soon
he's gonna quit his day job asan actor to be an even more
successful actor.
But I don't know if this partwas in the recording or if it
wasn't, so I'll just say itagain.
I had suggested, as we wereputting this together, because
we were trying to figure out aguest, and I posited that what
(03:38):
better of a guest than you guys?
You guys have never been aguest on your own podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, we're terrible guests.
That's why we don't inviteourselves.
That's why we host.
Yeah, those who can't guesthost, exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, I think you guys are fantastic hosts.
Let's see if you'll be goodguests, and if that's the case,
then we'll do this again nextweek and you'll just be my
guests again.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh, I like that.
Oh is this how you take overthe show.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yes, I will be in moderation.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Season two now with Mike Pridgen.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Now on my own podcast .
I haven't interviewed anybodyin a long time.
I stopped doing it because Iwasn't particularly all that
good at it.
It was difficult to book people, so you guys were very easy to
book, considering it was yourpodcast.
You have to be here.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So let's start here.
Let's start with where thepodcast began.
How did you two meet up?
How did you become friends anddecide to make this show what it
is today?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I think well, I mean like if we're starting with meet
up, meet up, or are we juststarting like the planning of
the podcast?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Let's start where you met very beginning Origin
Stories.
We're going for prequels here.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Origin Stories.
I remember God, what video wasit?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I mean, it always comes back to Bobby, it always
does.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It was a Bobby video, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Always I've been getting so many people like you
got to make more of those videos.
They're fun.
I'm like, oh, they're just aslog, but you know what?
Fuck it.
I'll slog through it foranother one, because people get
the yucks from them.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You've said everything you can say about him
at this point.
What else is there to say?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I learned recently from a follower who sent me a
message that he like he workedfor bobby for a time or
something and they were likelooking into taking legal action
against me or something at atime, because I was just like
tearing into them so hard, neverheard anything but like I don't
really know what they couldhave done they would have to
prove that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, soy causes autism, which is like they're
not going to be able to do it.
You know it's.
They're kind of stuck, theirhand is forced because it's.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You're just saying things that are scientifically
verifiable yeah, I mean, I wasripping into them you know some
names and stuff, like I'm surethey could have really tried for
something you know.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
The other thing is, though, is if they brought that
to light, it would have gone tocourt that bobby was taking uh
or not declaring his interestsin various companies discovery.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I learned that from a lawyer.
I watched them on youtube.
They say discovery.
I'm like, oh, that's important.
That's where all the legalstuff and the, the and the
papers come into play.
They gotta learn?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
basically, bobby can't do anything against us
because he can't bring his owndark dealings to light.
So here's question number two.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
One of those videos where, like probably I don't
know what he did, one I probablycommented on it and I was doing
my own videos.
And then so yeah, we juststarted like talking about like
yeah, that sort of stuff.
And then at one point I thinkyou were like you want to do a
podcast.
I was like fuck it, let's go,yeah.
And then at one point I thinkyou were like you want to do a
podcast.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I was like fuck it, let's go.
Yeah, I was.
I was getting some commentsabout are you ever going to do a
podcast and I was thinkingabout it as I was like if I do
one, I'd want to do one withsomebody.
I like the, the two persondynamic more, and then I started
talking to liam about it and Ithink liam had a couple comments
asking if he was going to do apodcast and we were just like
fuck it, let's do it yeah, burp,let's go.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And then you put up like a funny picture of me when
I was like making a smoothie.
You're like liam and I aredoing a podcast and everyone's
like you picked the perfectframe.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm like, listen, I'm in it, I'm all for looking like
I don't give a shit did youguys ever expect to have so many
brushes with the judicial andlegal system when you got into
doing this, as we all have?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I haven't had too much really at all.
I've been very, like, kind offortunate how it's played out.
I haven't had much, could havehad a lot more it's always been
threads.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's never been like an actual letter or somebody
reaching out.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's usually empty threads yeah, most of the
threats I get are just I'm gonnacut off your beard people mad,
people get mad at anythingthough I had somebody ask me
recently how do you deal withthe hate?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
And I'm like well, if you're going to be on the
Internet, you're going to gethate and you just kind of have
to recognize that.
What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Does it affect you guys anymore?
Does it even bother you?
Not really no.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I basically try and like I will listen to critiques
and if I think they actuallyhold water, you know I will
actually.
Okay, this person actuallyseems like they have a concern.
That's fine, I've taken videosdown because I'm like, yeah, I
could have been more accuratewith that.
I probably should have saidsomething like this All right,
that's fine, Fair enough.
But like, then there's that andthen there's the people that
(08:22):
are just pissed.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
They're like oh, fucking aspartame poison.
I'm like let's just have somefun with this.
Then, yeah, did you know, whenthey they put 50 rats in a sock
and smacked them against thetable, they all died.
Yeah was crazy.
But yeah, you guys are not likepersonally offended by anything
anymore, it's it.
I've, I've received that samepersonal criticism.
Oh, you know what I?
I could have worded thatdifferently let me, let me do it
again but I'm not going to beopen to that right yeah, yeah,
(08:51):
it's a rare thing, it really is,but it's important to the
scientific method and I knowboth of you guys are very
science-minded.
Uh, liam, you come from sleepmedicine not many people know
that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh man doing that shit like what I'm telling you
for anybody out there workingnights, god bless you.
It just fucks with everythinglike like sleep is like the
foundation and when you don'tsleep well like I know because I
got a two-year-old it justaffects everything.
Do what you can.
That's what I'll say so what?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
what got you to post your first video?
And I'm going to ask Rob, I'mgoing to ask you the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, you asked me first.
Okay, so I started posting gymskits.
That's where I started BecauseI was really into the gym and I
also loved like sketch comedy.
Like you know, your fucking Keyand Peele, dave, spellave,
spell bad tv, snl, all thatstuff and I was like, let me do
(09:48):
some fun stuff.
So it's still there, like youcan go back.
Listen, I stand by a few ofthose fuckers.
They're funny.
Okay, a couple of those werereally funny, most of them not
so much, but like there was acouple that were real good.
Um, I even built a whole fakegym made out of wood in my
basement for one sketch, for a,literally for a scene that was
three seconds long.
I built, I spent so long andyou know what dedication fucking
(10:12):
worth it, absolutely worth it.
And then I had to pull all thatout of there and then there was
just wood shavings everywherefor like months.
Still worth it.
That was funny.
That was one of my favoritevideos, uh.
So, yeah, I was doing that.
And then, yeah, and then I wasgoing to school for nutrition.
I was like I talk about food, Ilike food, and so, um, I, I
(10:32):
made like a couple of videos andthose did just like a little
bit better.
So I was like, okay, we trythis now.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Do you remember the first time that you did one of
your reaction videos whereyou're in the corner watching
the uh the video up here in thecorner, the uh the format I
guess you'd be best known fornow that is a good question that
I don't know the answer to.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I don't know if I I think I was seeing some like I'm
sure, because I started offwith like the debunking stuff,
so I'm sure it was like somenonsense, but I don't know what.
The first v, I don't know.
I don't remember what I'm gonnahave to.
I'm kind of curious.
I don't want to go back and seewhat, like the first video was,
but I don't remember thisraises an important point.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Anybody who might want to do the same thing as the
three of us posting videosonline.
If you're getting too preciousabout the things that you're
posting, you don't need to bebecause it's there.
I'm at the point now wherethere's videos.
I don't remember filming.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I've put them up and I'm like that was me.
I can see myself, but I wasn'tpresent for this.
I guess you know how?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
you can't step into the same river twice.
Mike can't film the same videotwice, doesn't remember?
There's a connection there.
You know what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
We'll workshop it.
If you had more sleep, I thinkyour brain would work just a
little bit better, just a littlebit.
That's the importance of sleep.
Right here we're seeing a manat his wits end.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
These are the effects of a lack of sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Robert the effects of children.
What about your first video?
Where did you come from?
Why did you start posting?
Why did you decide to grace uswith your handsome mug?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
it was the start of covid and you know, the rise of
social media and TikTok andeverything.
And the gyms had closed and Iwas sitting around bored and I
downloaded TikTok and I decidedto try to push myself out of my
comfort zone a little bit more,because growing up with the
(12:21):
whole social anxiety disorderwas constantly a case of I don't
want to be stuck in my room,scared of everything for the
rest of my life.
So it's been a constant onefoot in front of the other, try
to get outside the comfort zoneand that's what I did.
I posted on the internet and ittook off and I was like what
(12:43):
the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It really is interesting when people start to
show up and respond, especiallywhen none of us set out to have
an audience.
It just happened to us.
How have you changed as humanbeings in that time?
Have I changed since I?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
started making videos .
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, because I know I've changed in certain ways.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I know my anxiety is definitely lower.
I'm not going to say gone, butlower, that's for sure.
And I can handle the uh, thetrolls even better now.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It wasn't always that case for me the only thing, I.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's really, I think, changed for me is, um,
embracing, being a stupid head.
I think it's like what I wouldsay.
It's like big difference for meBecause, like I've always been
a stupid head, right, but like,oh for starting.
You know, when I started off Iwas like, oh, I need to be, look
like, you know, I'm officialand I know things and like all
these things.
And eventually I was like, no,no, I'll look at like a stupid
(13:41):
head and like a clown, but alsogive you like good information
and cite shit so people knowthat I do know what I'm talking
about, because, like it's socialmedia and like it's just also
life, like you gotta have funand be dumb and like whatever
that's.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So I think, just more embracing, that I think people
really appreciate that in aworld of self-proclaimed experts
and people who are unwilling tobudge, to have somebody that
picks up a recipe from theinternet and makes it in a way
that looks very realistic, likenot the way that it's presented
on screen, where everything'slike all aesthetically perfect
and everything it's like this isprobably what yours is going to
(14:17):
look like and this is what minelooks like, and I'm going to
make it, I'm going to eat it andhere's how I feel about it, and
you just like it just eatswatermelon and cheese watermelon
cheese.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Watermelon cheese watermelon and feta.
I mean, like, obviously you dothe cracker as well, but I'm
saying watermelon, feta, maybe alittle balsamic in there, maybe
a mint or basil, that shit'sgood rob, what's your weird food
combination?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
mine's ketchup um.
I'm autistic.
I don't combine food, I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Everything has to be separate.
I'll tell you what mine is.
I've eaten it since I was likesix years old.
My mom would always make it forme and I called it the special
and I would say, hey, make methe special again.
The special this is going toshock you, this is going to
shock everyone.
They're like Liam eats thesethings.
They're like Liam eats thesethings no fucking way.
But I did and I do.
Corn beans and cottage cheesemixed together those three
(15:13):
things I would eat it like everysingle day.
It was cheap, had protein andfiber.
I was set.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The fact that you said cottage cheese.
This is going to end up on TMZtomorrow because you said
cottage cheese.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We're like it's cottage cheese.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So can we clear up a couple of things about you and
cottage cheese.
We're like it's cottage cheese,so like can we just can we
clear up a couple of thingsabout you and cottage cheese
right now, while we have theopportunity, because you don't
hate it I.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I've been eating it since I was like fucking five,
six years old.
Cottage cheese is great.
It's just like cauliflower isgreat.
Here's the thing about both ofthose things.
They don't belong in everything.
It drives me crazy.
When I see like cottage cheeseice cream and brownies, I'm just
like I'm over it all.
I've tried it.
It's awful.
You know what I have sitting inmy freezer right now?
(15:56):
Three pints of cottage cheeseice cream from this fucking
cottage cheese company.
Oh, I'm gonna try thosetomorrow.
I'm not looking forward to it.
I'm actually dreading it.
I am dreading having to eatthis goddamn cottage cheese ice
cream.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh, did you have any of them already, because I think
I saw one of the videos.
Possibly or maybe it was justyou.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I haven't eaten any of them.
No, I've tried to make cottagecheese ice cream myself and that
was not good.
Didn't like it.
But hey, I hope maybe it's good.
I hope it's good, that'd benice.
Otherwise I gotta throw awaythree pints ice ice cream.
Maybe Oakley will like it.
I don't.
If I don't like it, my hopesare so low.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So you hear that everybody Liam doesn't hate
cottage cheese.
You don't have to tag him ineverything cottage cheese
related.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Put it on your rice and beans.
Oh, man, red beans and rice.
Oh, get some cottage cheese onthere.
You throw it with, like youknow, your beef or whatever.
Great, it's all awesome.
Mac and cheese of cottagecheese Perfect.
Make it into queso, sure.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It is a good and versatile ingredient.
It doesn't have to be ineverything.
So, rob, you have recently sortof switched modes a little bit.
We, the the old style of yousliding into the frame and using
your whiteboard, yourgreenboard, whatever you want to
call it has moved out of theway a bit in favor of some other
(17:19):
content.
You want to explain theevolution here?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Explain Evolution would be a combination of just
redoing my office space, movingoff the space you know, I moved
from one place to another toanother and each time the office
layout changes as well as justplaying around with editing
styles.
Actually, um, I love everyopportunity to learn, and that
(17:43):
includes the audio and the videoaspects of the videos and
learning how to do transitionsand all the green screen stuff,
and it's just an evolution overtime and playing with new things
.
Where do you both think thatyou'll be?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
in 10 years oh god, jesus right, what am I in a
fucking interview?
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Let me tell you something what are your plans
with this in moderation company?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
if you fucking told me a year, two years ago,
whatever, when I was likeworking fucking nights in sleep
medicine, like, oh yeah, you'regonna quit your job and be a
goddamn influencer, get the fuckout of here.
No, I'm not.
There's no.
What are you?
High and drunk?
That's.
There's no way that's happening.
(18:27):
And so, like, 10 years from now, I have no idea.
I'm just fucking just seat ofmy pants.
That's what I go with.
Everyone's like you play.
No, I ain't playing it now.
Seat of my pants.
That's what's fun about life,man, I don't know.
I want to go like travel placeswhere you want to visit.
Fuck, if I know I'm gonna go tothe airport at some point.
Be like thailand, let's go.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That's a plane assign me a dart at the map thing.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah no idea that's enjoy life right and it's just
like roll with it I.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Part of that question was just to deconstruct the
idea that we have any ideawhat's going on.
Yeah right, just because we'regood at editing and we're good
at speaking in the edits andcutting it together in a way
that seems coherent does notmean that we know everything,
nor do we want to claim we knoweverything.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Well, considering I'm an old man, I'll probably and
be in my rocking chair out onthe porch with pippin you'll be
what 50, and you're not old atthat point that's old for the
internet, come on.
That's old for the Internet,come on.
That's old for the.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Internet.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I'm 31.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm old for you and you're streaming video games at
50?
God damn you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I get called Unk every day, you guys getting
called Unk.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
yet I don't think I get called Unk very maybe once
or twice in a comment, but notoften.
I just get called that cottagecheese guy.
That's pretty much all I'mknown by hey the cottage cheese
guy.
If there's a video aboutcottage cheese that blows up,
they're just like.
I can't wait to see the cottagecheese guy about this like.
This is always one of the top.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
They don't even know your name anymore.
They don't know, they're likesomebody tagged the cottage
cheese guy.
And then there's a fuckingstring of liam tags like oh god
and then your response is alwaysI don't hate cottage cheese
I've seen it and I like cottagecheese, but it doesn't like it
would make sense if yourreaction was like bombastic, you
know, but it's, you're justlike I'm, it's fine, it is what
(20:19):
it is but like at this point, Ijust lead into it and pretend
like I'm dying every timethere's cottage cheese like um,
there's like a, there's anotherone with it now.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Now there's like a.
Uh, tomato soup, right, it'slike cottage, it's like high
protein and I'll just I'm justgonna be like I'll shit a
testicle if this doesn't havecottage cheese or something.
Just start off with that and belike, as soon as it, you know,
hits.
Then you're just slowly dyingthroughout the video.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But neither of you were going.
You know, mr beast level onanalytics, trying to figure out
like what is it that thealgorithm wants, what?
What is it that I can do tooptimize my numbers?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
at this point I've given up on the algorithm same
he's got a whole mr beast man,he's got like a whole team and
shit figuring out.
My my thing goes as far as likehey, this video did pretty well
.
Why, why?
Why people like it?
Oh, that might be why why like?
Make again similar, make more,do more.
That's yeah, that's pretty muchwhat I got.
(21:17):
Be funny and be funny, makejoke, give advice that work for
humans.
That's pretty much what I gotspeak monosyllic.
I want to do a whole video justlike one word things at a time.
I feel like that would dopretty well.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Probably it might do well with a certain demographic.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I mean, when it comes to the internet, any
demographic you'll take, right,it doesn't matter as long as you
get views.
Hear food Eat now.
Make this way.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
So let's move into the call portion of our podcast.
Today we're gonna have somecallers come in and give you, uh
, some questions really quick.
So the number you call is up onthe screen right now if you're
listening.
Uh, the podcast is probablyover.
It is too late to call that.
We don't have any calls that'sunfortunate.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
The rest of the hour.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Nobody likes us silence this is gonna be our
hardest hitting episode yet.
People are like I'm into thisshit.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just took three edibles before this and now I'm
feeling it what's that one johncage song 333 or whatever, where
it's just three minutes ofsilence?

That's a baller move and I loveit.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
This is John Cage 33, 33.

I like that.
This is a good thing to listento when you're falling asleep.
If you'd like to support the InModeration podcast, get our
views up for here our watch time.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, can I ask you something?
Let me ask you two something.
I like the white noise when Igo to sleep, right, so I
download the white noise appsand I gotta ask who the hell are
listening to some of thesesounds besides serial killers,
like some of these sounds arejust like a clock ticking Tick,
(23:06):
tock, tick, tock.
I'm like if you listen to thatto go to sleep, we need to check
on you.
Everyone needs to check on you,like immediately.
Or water dripping is one ofthem.
Water dripping from the faucetDrip, drip, drip.
Psychopaths.
(23:27):
Psychopaths are the only peoplethat would be interested in
listening to that.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's the kind of noise that they play when
they're trying to elicit a senseof suspense or fear in a movie.
Yeah, that's not something.
I want to fall asleep to.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Who is listening to that?
How is that an option?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Gastids are flabbered .
Speaker 1 (23:50):
If you're the person listening to that, send liam
your favorite drip track tell mewhy you listen to the drip
track and the tick of talks.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I need to know so you guys don't know what you're
going to be doing in 10 years.
I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I don't think anybody should I don't know what I'm
doing in 10 days what are youguys doing tomorrow?
Um, I gotta make sure my doggoes to the vet to get teeth
pulled out of his face.
Does that count?
That counts.
I think he's an italiangreyhound, so their teeth are
always shit and he's probablygonna have to get some pulled.
We don't know, they're gonnahave to get pulled, but he's
probably gonna have to get somepulled this is.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I've gotten a tooth pulled by accident here on the
in moderation podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think I told you guys that story weren't you
eating something, and likesomehow the food ripped and I
don't laugh at heavy yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
so on my first appearance here, on in
moderation, I brought bananalaffy taffy with me to bother
the both of you, um, in my own,in each of your separate ways,
because one of you doesn't likeLaffy Taffy, the other one
doesn't like bananas, and I juststarted eating it silently, not
bringing anything to it, justwaiting for someone to mention
(24:54):
it.
And in the process of doingthis, I pulled out a filling.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, you pulled out the filling, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Remind me why we brought him back.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I think that's why I think that's why we brought him
back.
I think that's why I thinkthat's why we brought him back
is because he pulled out afilling with laffy taffy.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Come on, that shit's impressive I have suffered the
most bodily injury of all ofyour guests.
I hope you have someone beeninjured worse through a taping
of in moderation no, I think youare successfully the only
person that's been injured.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
yeah, yeah, and everything's been fine.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I did not have a stunt double for pulling out my
filling with banana Laffy Taffy.
I have a stunt double for thispodcast.
I'm going on.
It's like who is this?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
guy that looks kind of like Mike, I know what.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I'm doing next week.
I'm hiring a stunt double.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Doesn't seem to know anything about his career.
Sounds different.
That's great His eyes are adifferent color.
What's going on with this?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
guy, bro, you know what I would kill for Cat eyes
when they go like up and down,they have that like the vertical
.
That shit would be so cool theyprobably have contacts for that
.
Oh, now I got to look into that.
You think I can get eyestransplanted?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
So transplanted.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Can I get like cat eyes transplanted into my eyes?
Just grow some cat eyes on theback of a rat and have them
transplant them into you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Why.
That seems like extra work.
Can't I just take them from acat?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What if I ask nicely Would the eyes be big enough?
You?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
think they'll be interested.
I want cat eyes Talk to adoctor.
Just put them in there Like I'ma podiatrist.
I'm a podiatrist, you're like,I don't care, put them in my
face.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Bring it to a chiropractor.
They are more than willing togo out of their scope.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I'd be more likely to do it.
Yeah, of course I can do that.
You want them to work better?
Yeah, I want them to workbetter.
Throw them in there, Dowhatever you gotta do.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Sorry to the three ethical chiropractors out there
who might be listening to thisyou want a lizard tongue?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Fuck you.
Of course I want a lizardtongue.
What are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Adam Wright just got those fangs in.
You saw that right yeah, talkto him about somebody.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Now we got to one-up him with cat eyes.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
All of us are all getting cat eyes Excellent.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
There was a period of time where I don't know if you
guys were ever consumers of theGuinness Book of World Records,
but there would always be anentry for somebody who had the
most body modifications, and itwas always some guy trying to
turn into a lion or a cat orsomething like that.
We could.
What happened to that line ofwork?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, I know some of them like world's fattest cat,
had to be taken out becausepeople were just force feeding
their cats to be fat as shityeah yeah, so they literally
don't keep track of that anymorebecause it's just because so
much obesity in the catpopulation, uh, they also.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, I think the question is, or the answer is,
that uh, people got too stupidand guinness had to stop doing
it because they'd get people gottoo stupid explanation for
everything stupid ballooning to32 pounds as a cat, just to find
out that you're third oh, it'snot even.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I'm not even on the podium of fat cats, god damn not
that they can climb up thereanyway they did the same thing
with um uh, most time spentawake without sleep People which
are kind of trying to breakthat and causing a bunch of
problems.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
All of the most dangerous ones.
Like they had to take out themost time shooting yourself in
the head award, that one wentreally badly.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
It was one for the longest time they got to do.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Most time spent underwater.
That's it.
Longest amount of time spentwith a bear.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
One guy got around the rules by being with a gay
man.
Just a different kind of bear,it's fine.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
We spent 13 beautiful years together and counting.
That's cute.
Now that's going to be in theGuinness Book of World Records
cutest love story in the world.
I think it's with that one.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Just pick any.
Can I tell you what I, what Ihave like?
A vendetta against hallmarkmovies I'm glad that went.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I've seen people talk about hallmark movies when I
worked in sleep medicine.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I would always go in and my patients be watching it.
And let me just disclaimer herewhatever you like, that's
awesome.
I'm not telling you to stopliking that thing, but for me I
cannot stand hallmark movies.
It sounds like it was writtenby ai before.
Ai was a thing like it's justthe most basic, like same story
every single time and I'm justlike which.
(29:18):
I guess it's just a formula,but like damn, can we change it
up a little bit?
It's like it's it's.
I can't.
I can't with the Hallmarkmovies.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Have you seen?
If you were listening to this?
Please don't unfriend mebecause of Liam's views.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Rob said nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I said nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Have you seen those collages where it shows the like
, the posters for all thoseChristmas movies, the Hallmark
movies, and all of the postersare the same.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's like the guy's wearing green, she's wearing red
.
You can play them on top ofeach other.
They would all go the same.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's like how you play Pink Floyd alongside the
Wizard of Oz and it lines up alittle bit.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
You just play all these movies next to each other
and they're beat for beat andagain like listen, I've watched
Lord of the Rings for I don'tknow how many times, so like I'm
watching the same thing overand over again.
And if you like it, that's cool, but I can't, because I'm just
like why this is a differentmovie.
Do something different you knowwhat?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm gonna be really fair here.
If there was something wherethey're just copying the same
format as back to the futureover and over again, with
slightly different actors eachtime, same beats, same storyline
there and there, I think thatwould satisfy my autism as well.
There'd be nothing I could doabout it.
I've got a disgusting amount ofmemorabilia surrounding me
(30:30):
right now, this right here oh, Imean, it's right on your, is it
?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
you might have taken off.
I was gonna say, it's myprobably on your wrist oh yes,
right here.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
This is marty mcfly's watch.
These are pieces of the realdelorean time machine nice watch
over here, I I've got the fluxcapacitor.
Watch.
What else do I have?
I've got a DeLorean right here.
I've got the hoverboard righthere.
What else can I grab?
There's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I've got the keys to a real DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
right here, I have spent a lot of money on
something that should have beentreated.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Dude DeLoreans, for how terrible the cars were, I
would still totally drive one.
They look cool as shit.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
They do and the thing is, as bad cars as they were, a
lot of them are still driving.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Because they look so cool.
They're like I don't care howshitty this car's mechanics are.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I want to drive something that looks neat.
It is a timeless vehicle.
It has really become a truetime machine.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, like, although other people get famous and rich
and they're gonna buy, likeferraris, I'm gonna get a
delorean drive that shit aroundlet's, let's have that be part
of the 10-year plan that's in 10years driving a delorean I'm in
, I'm totally in owning adelorean in 10 years.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
We'll meet up and we'll just cruise around town at
a steady 60 miles per hour,because the car didn't really go
much faster than that.
Without rattling, I'll be onthe highway pissing everybody
off.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I'm Googling how much a DeLorean costs.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
They're not the most ridiculously expensive cars I
have looked.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Okay.
So it looks like if you'relooking for pristine mint, you
want a really good one.
If you're looking for likepristine mint, like you want
like a really good one, you'relooking around a hundred grand.
But I'm seeing some other onesfor like 50, 60,000, around 60.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You can get them used .
I've seen them as low as 32,000, 35,000 ish, which is not
necessarily low for a car that's40 years old.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
But it's not necessarily high for a car
that's 40 years old.
It's not necessarily high for acar that's kind of famous.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, if you just happen to run into some scratch,
yeah, sure you get a 1990 DodgeDart for 200 bucks, but I want
a DeLorean damn it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, if you want a 4,000-pound coupe made of solid
steel, then sure go ahead, grabit.
Fun fact about the deloreanreal quick.
People would think that thegullwing doors these guys right
here would be a problem, likeyou couldn't get out if you're
parked next to a car.
This is only a 14 inchclearance is all you need, which
is much smaller than theaverage car door that just opens
(33:01):
up a big ass truck I only getlike four inches on one side
because parking's large searchis so small.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Listen, rob, we're skipping over my good dick joke
here.
We can't we need that.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm sorry wait, let's , let's repeat the good dick
joke.
Let's get this to be the clipthat plays right in the
beginning yeah, yeah, yeah, goahead, say your line wait which
line they're 14 inches ofclearance.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
You dummy, come on, work with me now, jesus Christ,
when you're getting out of aDeLorean.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It's a fun fact.
You only need 14 inches ofclearance.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And if you're me, you only need two.
All right.
Play that at the hook, Rob, atthe beginning of the episode,
please.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
All right, I will make a note of that.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
If only we had a time machine to go back and do that
the right way, the way itdeserved, oh damn.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
It looks like the average price is $64,249.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Well, this is a good time to announce our GoFundMe.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
The money for a DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The in moderation, delorean.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Listen, I know there's charities that could use
it and people really need themoney to pay for bills, but your
boy needs a DeLorean.
Come on, charity.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
That's what we say here on the In Moderation
podcast.
You can have that right upfront too.
Fuck charity.
We're getting a DeLorean.
We're going to get it wrappedwith in moderation insignia.
We're going to basically whatvinyl?
Wrap the brushed steel on it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I think this is all out.
Yeah, I'm loving these cars.
The more I look into this likeI'm, more I'm sold on the
DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Liam is sold on the DeLorean.
I'm already sold on theDeLorean.
I'm ready.
I'll go halfsies with you ifyou want.
We're both too tall to get inthat thing, are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
me right now.
Listen, listen, listen.
I drive a 2012 Nissan Sentra.
I can fit in that thing.
I can fit in this goddamnDeLorean the.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
DeLorean, you've got to be like 5'8 to get in there.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
No, no, no, no, no, no, we'll make it.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Don't make it work.
Have your knees ever touchedthe steering wheel?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
I got cat eyes and my feet cut off to fit in a
DeLorean, but man, I'm rollingin style motherfuckers.
Can't see shit anymore, but itdoesn't matter, I'm blind and I
got no feet, but man do I lookcool in this DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah, see, that's everybody else's problem, not
mine.
They can move out of the way Iam cruising.
What's next for you guys?
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Buying a DeLorean.
Fuck it.
Where have you been for the?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I'm no interviewer, he's just reading off his list
of questions.
I think these are all questionsthat came out of a yearbook.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
That's what's next.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
I move to just outside of Albany.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
New York.
Your shirt says Jamaica, notNew York.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Jamaica.
That's where I got married.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
There is a place in Queens known as Jamaica.
There is, queens is in New York, so that could be where you're
going.
It would be the wrong flag.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I don't want to go to New York City, that is too much
for this guy, but but.
But right outside Albany iscool because you can visit New
York City in two and a halfhours, you can visit Boston in
about two and a half hours.
You can visit Montreal in aboutthree and a half hours or so.
It's nice and centrally located.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Crazy coincidence how all these places that were
founded on horseback are allvery close to each other.
Crazy how nature works.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
What a coincidence.
It's almost like they couldn'tgo very far.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's almost like that's it.
Then, once they get out here toall this incidental land Dude?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I just listened to an episode of the doll up a great
podcast.
Stop listening to this one, goto listen to that one.
And they were talking about thehorse flu.
That happened where, like allthese horses got sick and this
was when there was no cars andhorses did everything and just
like city shut down because theydidn't have any horsepower and
so, like it was, just everythingwent to shit and they were like
(36:52):
people like trying to get thehorses out there.
They're sick and they're pukingand it's just crazy, like every
horse, every horse was sick,kind of reminds.
It's like if we had like one ofthose solar flares and like
just all the vehicles shut downor whatever.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
All the horses lost their wifi connection Exactly.
Vehicle shut down or whateverthe hell the horse has lost
their wi-fi connection exactly.
I think I'd be nervous to ridea horse for too long.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I feel like I was hurting them if you were to get
one part of a horse transplantedonto your body.
What are you picking?
What do you think I'm picking?
Come on, I'm listen.
This is a legitimate question.
I picked cat eyes, you guysit's the main, I'm going bald.
Come on, you gotta dismantle Iwant a nice mane.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Okay, we got mane.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Mike, what are you picking?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I'm going to pick the Don't disappoint me the front
half of the horse.
It's going to be a centaur Iwant to be a centaur, but
without the back.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The reverse centaur.
Just a regular it's like werejust like the back half and the
front half was a horse.
I thought you were doing thefull-on reverse centaur.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
You're just the back half.
You're just the back half, justthe butt.
I can't see anything.
But that is everybody else'sproblem.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
As far as I'm concerned, you didn't even get
the best part of the horse.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Two back legs bent over for life.
Giant dick.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Oh, two back legs bent over for life, giant dick,
oh, this is in moderation, wherewe teach you about health and
how to improve, improve yourlife we need to bring on another
scientist, like we had a vishaon in that one episode.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We I say we as if I'm running this thing you guys had
well, you are just happen to behere and we were talking about
something ridiculous.
I forget what it was, but hewas trying to assign like real
science to it.
It was penis enlargement,because we're children I think
he was talking about, like thescientific ways that like it
could potentially happen if wewere to like potentially explore
(38:40):
, like cellular destruction andlike a controlled environment.
He was like going really in onit, providing wonderful insight.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
That's great.
This is why our podcast isimportant.
We ask the big questions.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
The big questions.
Very important questions.
The big questions, the largequestions.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Or for some people it's a small question, the
girthy questions.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
The doctor says it's completely fine questions.
Has anybody ever asked you?
Speaker 1 (39:08):
guys about coaching.
That's a you problem question.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
That's the big ones hurt questions.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It's the.
I've got a good personalityquestion.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
This should have been the hour Back and forth on this
.
What's the compliment you guysreceive the most and what is the
criticism you receive the most?
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Oh shit, For me.
Mine is I get the weight lossmost.
And what is the criticism youreceived the most?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
oh, shit for me I received the most I.
I get the uh, the weight loss,mr rogers.
Very often people throw thatone at me.
Um, the insult that I get themost often.
I don't even know.
I'm gonna have to think on that.
Let's start with the.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
The compliment first my compliment I get the most is
um nice beard and the insult Iget the most is I hate your
beard well, that's funny,because mine are also the same
thing.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
It's like cottage cheese.
It's the compliment and theinsult how much can you grow
liam?
Oh god, uh, have you ever seenan amish neck beard?
Speaker 2 (40:02):
because boy how can I grow?
Mean one of those, becauseyou've always got the soul patch
.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I've not ever seen anything else yeah, because it's
uh, I mean I'm probably betternow, but it still grows patchy
shit.
So I uh don't do that.
Uh, but I don't really, I don'tknow.
Like people always, you know,say like I help them.
The relationship with food andstuff and not like freaking out,
so much is probably the mainthing is just like oh, it's
gonna be all cool, and then likeinsult, uh, yeah, probably just
(40:32):
the typical, like you just wantpeople to eat ultra processed
foods and sit on the couch anddo nothing and I'm like that's
exactly.
Yep, nailed it, that's.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
I just want people to inhale aspartame like I want.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Those like uh, get that vaporized, breathe it in no
, no, you want people to inhaleTylenol.
I mean any chemical.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Spread that autism around.
What's your?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
favorite chemical.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Red 40.
Favorite chemical.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
There was something, liam, that you had said a long
time ago where you said I neverexpected that my career would be
defending Red 40 on theInternet when I don't even
necessarily want to promote it.
It's like that's not the goalhere.
No one's like, yeah, just drinkvials of red 40.
We're just saying like thereare issues that go far beyond
(41:18):
all of the stuff that fearmongers push along, and we're
just like you don't have to beafraid of this, and the longer
you are, the longer you'll bedistracted from what you really
need to be paying attention to.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, maybe just eat some fiber and get some sleep
and stop worrying about food dye.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Well, don't you guys want to make steps in the right
direction?
Baby steps, bro, baby steps,like we're baby stepping in the
wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
I'll give you those fucking horse feet.
Then you take baby steps.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
What are the macros of horse feet?
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Lots of collagen, I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Collagen, incomplete protein.
Useful Everybody's aware it's.
You know it does have itsbenefits, but not as a protein.
What would you most want peopleto know that you don't often
get to say?
Because I got a couple ofthings out today about I won't
say what the event is, we'lljust let it pass along, but some
necessary things about tensionsin our country that I really
(42:12):
want to say more, but it youknow the opportunity doesn't
present itself too often.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I think I want to, because kind of maybe along
those lines, history repeatsitself.
That's what I want to tellpeople all the time.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Probably just something simple like stop being
goddamn dicks to each other,always solid it takes more
energy to be a dick.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
It takes a lot of energy to be a dick and to be
hateful and spiteful andeverything.
It is actually literally theeasier option to not do that.
Very interesting how that works.
How do you guys feel aboutbeing guests so far on a podcast
?
Speaker 1 (42:49):
How is that?
We're doing what's happening?
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Well, we're about to start recording.
Oh, all right, we're just aboutto press the button.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Sorry, I was putting a bit in.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
I've clocked out.
Liam's looking up like how toget a horse cock Into a DeLorean
.
In a DeLorean.
Will it get it under thesteering wheel, can I?
Speaker 1 (43:08):
clear it through.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
TSA everything will be fine.
Well, I think you guys didfantastic as guests today for
this, this hundredth episodeyeah, a hundred episodes is
crazy.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
What's also kind of crazy is like you barely
remember any of it.
Like what episode?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
maybe an episode I'm like oh shit, a couple episodes
ago we were talking about whatto do and we were like, well,
maybe we should do our what ourfavorite episodes or moments
were, and then we were both likewe can't remember it yesterday,
let alone like that's.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
It's funny because I listened to the other uh
podcasts that talk about likehistory and stuff.
They're like I don't rememberany of the episodes, like I
couldn't even tell you what likewe talked about.
I'm like I remember a few weeksago we were talking about ear
sex.
That's pretty much like you andI.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
This entire podcast is ear sex at one point, you and
I, liam, we spent about 10minutes talking about tank nuts,
which were just like truck nutson a tank yes, 300 pounds of
steel alloy dragging behind atank.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
We don't need the GoFundMe, we just sell tank nuts
to get the DeLorean.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
This is I've got a story about just like how little
we remember things, because I'msure people do.
People ever quote you guys atyou sometimes and you're like I
don't remember even saying that.
My things are more just things.
I say all the time.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
My things are always just like everybody.
I get just like I really likeyour videos out of 10.
I'm like that's good that'sgood, it's.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I like that, you know it's it.
Just, it plays into the spiritof of the ends of the videos you
put out.
One time somebody had sent me apicture of a tattoo that they
had, with a beautiful quote onit.
It was I forget at this pointwhat it was which is going to
lend itself here to the storyand they sent me a picture of it
and I'm like that's, that'sbeautiful, fantastic, thank you
(45:00):
so much for sharing it with me.
And they said, yeah, it's, thisreally means a lot to me.
I go back to that video fromtime to time to listen to it and
I'm like what do you mean?
You go back to that video.
I said oh yeah, yeah.
And then I thought about it andI'm like oh wait, they sent
this to me and they're talkingabout a video, because it's
something I said that theytattooed on their body and I
(45:24):
didn't remember saying it.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
I hope that person's not listening to this podcast
right now and you still nowdon't remember what it is.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
I have now gone back and watched that video, but now
I don't remember what the quoteis at this point.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
You still don't remember, Even after all, that
that's great.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
There are people out there and this is not an
isolated case either.
There are other people with mywords on their bodies right now
and I'm like some of them.
I remember some of them.
I'm like I said it in a videobecause I was having a crisis
and I, I guess, I said somethingthat sounded life-changing to
you and you decided toimmortalize it, and I appreciate
it beyond appreciation.
But my brain can only well,it's decided.
(46:01):
My first tattoo is going to bewords from mike get yourself a
horse cock and size yourself upfor a delorean mine's just gonna
be trunk, uh, tank, nuts tanknuts for uh episode 200,
speaking of that same episode,because this was in that same
episode we should watch uh heilhoney, I'm home, oh, god dude
(46:22):
dude, we gotta watch oh man,dude, we've got to watch, oh man
.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
We need to just watch that for an episode.
We need to do that soon.
I need this in my life.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
We'll just tell everybody when to start.
It'll be like a timer and thenyou just press play on YouTube
and then we can watch ittogether.
I mean, are they really goingto be pursuing copyright on that
?
You're going to get the HeilHitler production team.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
As long as we don't play the audio and everybody's
listening it to it in their ownbrowser, we can do it but for
those of you that don't know,there was a sitcom where hitler
was the main character.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Not the real hitler, it was a an actor playing him.
I don't know, do you?
Speaker 1 (47:01):
have to specify dead.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
We're in a post-nuance society right now.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Oh shit, that's funny .
Speaker 2 (47:11):
Well, anyway, happy, happy, remember 9-11, everyone
Happy 9-11.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Oh yeah, that's a thing for you Americans tomorrow
, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yes, 9-11.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Yeah, certainly not happy, but it's something that
we do remember, I do.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I was because, yeah, I mean I was 10.
I was 10 when that happened, soI do remember that.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
I would have been seven.
I was on the bus.
I remember thinking to myselfbecause we had a math test that
morning.
I was thinking to myself howcould this day get any worse?
Speaker 3 (47:40):
I remember waking up and logging on to a video game
and people started being like,oh my god, turn on the news and
I went to the living room and Iturned on the news.
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
I remember being at school and everyone was kind of
freaking out and I had no ideawhat was going on, because but
especially since I was in albany, because I was like two and a
half hours away from new yorkcity, so it's like not far I
realize everybody else istalking about being at school
and I'm talking about playingvideo games.
Speaker 3 (48:06):
I definitely, definitely wasn't playing hooky,
don't know.
I, I did.
I say I was playing video games, I meant I was at school.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
We were all at school .
Everyone was at school.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
We were at school, yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Well, Rob, I didn't expect that this day would be
marred with the image of youskipping school.
I'll never be able to getthrough this day without
thinking about it.
What a tragedy you've doneskipping out on your education.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
My social anxiety was so bad in high school, which is
when that happened.
Um, I actually like full-ondropped out for a year because I
could not handle it, and thatwas before you know all the
diagnosis and stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
So it was just some weird thing right but you've
worked on it, you've changed,you've grown.
I think we I can say that aboutall three of us safely.
If not, uh, call me out we haveall grown and changed as as
human beings in these lastexcept for when it comes to
penis jokes except that, no,that will never.
(49:05):
We're only getting better atthat out of 10.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Out of 10.
Good night everybody.
