You get to choose from four entrees, like the supreme croissant and five tasty sides, plus a drink starting at $5. So hurry in or take your time. You've got all day at Jack. Every bite's a big deal. I've had a lot of people tell me that they're fantastic. Favorite Chuckle was the one I was on. And it always surprised me because I remember that day I got.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, I remember you told me something after that. Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That morning I got a call from my doctor, if you remember. And, like, they were like, yo, you, like, may have, like, cancer, Right?

[Jay Schlatt]

Right.

[Connor Eats Pants]

This is like an hour before the show.

[Jay Schlatt]

The Connor Eats Pants cancer episode. Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We went to, like, a bagel place, like, right before, and, like, we're, like, there, and I'm like, thinking. I'm like, do I, like, talk? Like, do I, like, do this as a bit.

[Jay Schlatt]

Just talk about how I can't.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, on chocolate. Do I go like, yeah, I may have. Can't. Like, I break this news to you guys on the show, too, and, like, process it? I was like, what kind of doctor.

[Ted Nivison]

Says you might have cancer?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, because they wanted me to come back in for more tests. And then I was like, oh, like, is everything good? And they're like, yeah, it's just a little concerned. Like these numbers. And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

These are kind of cancer.

[Connor Eats Pants]

They're cancer numbers.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, yeah, these are cancer.

[Connor Eats Pants]

The opposite of angel numbers.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, right.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

3, 16.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, that's John.

[Jay Schlatt]

Nice.

[Ted Nivison]

18, 6.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, sure, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

No, 18, 6.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh. If ever these little ones are to stumble. Oh, yeah. But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble in sin, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, that's true. I mean, like, in an ideal world, that is a better situation than the.

[Jay Schlatt]

You just gotta get some millstones. Is really the. Really the question.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Where do you find them?

[Jay Schlatt]

Probably mills. Mills?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, Farms where you do work with cattle.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Generally, I would hate to have a real job. Oh, my God, that would suck.

[Jay Schlatt]

Real job. Cringe.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Did you guys ever have real jobs? I know you did.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah, I did. Well, he had one when he was 12.

[Ted Nivison]

What was your job?

[Jay Schlatt]

Landscaping. Boom job right there. We got fucking staples.

[Ted Nivison]

So you worked at Daddy's landscaping company?

[Jay Schlatt]

Wasn't my dad whose Was it. It was my welcome to Chuckle Sandwich. I worked on a lot of film sets on, like, Craigslist film sets or driving up to. Driving out to. I'm driving to vans to Yonkers, and we're for fucking shitty day rates at $100 for the day or whatever that was.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That was my only real job for. Was for two and a half to three weeks, was spinning the sign outside of Little Caesars at an outlet near my home.

[Ted Nivison]

The sign?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, for like, two and a half years.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really? Did we have to wear a suit?

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I just.

[Jay Schlatt]

Were you dressed up as Caesar?

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, they didn't have me do that. I literally could wear whatever. And, like, I just spun the sign. But it was awful because it was Atlanta humidity in, like, early August.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And I was like, yeah, I don't want to do this. So then I just quit.

[Ted Nivison]

I never got.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I quiet quitted. I just didn't show up anymore.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, that's not quite quitting. I can tell you what quiet quitting is. Quiet quitting is when you stay employed, but you. You slack off, you coast.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

So, like, Charlie quit, you've checked out mentally.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Kind of like what. What you're doing with the podcast, right?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. Yeah. So I never understood sign spinning because the. The act of spinning the sign totally gets rid of the purpose of the sign, which is to direct you to where the establishment is.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I mean, I. Yeah, it does.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really create a question in terms of the directionality of where it is.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So, I mean, the idea is just that, like, if you're driving past this. This outlet that has, like, a Subway and, like, you know, like a spa or something, like, you see the guy and you're like, oh, they have a Little Caesars. I can go get pizza here. If you're stopping a red light, it's.

[Ted Nivison]

Kind of just like an advertisement. It's not actually.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, go that way. I think we had one that was, like, pointing, but it didn't even matter. Like, it was like this guy, like, he had, like, a $5 pizza sign.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, wow.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

And was yours. Was the $5 one?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, that was their thing.

[Jay Schlatt]

Or a vest.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I don't think I had, like, that guy in the bottom right has, like, a vest.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I didn't have to get up, right? Oh, he's got a guitar.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah. Wait, so you were playing, you were shredding?

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I'm telling you, I didn't have that one. I just had the norm. Yeah, that's what I had.

[Jay Schlatt]

Damn. Did you Wear a red shirt? Or was it just like I've said three times?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I just wore my clothes, dude. Like, I would leave school and I would just show up.

[Ted Nivison]

What about.

[Jay Schlatt]

I don't understand why you're getting frustrated with me. I'm just trying to learn more about you. I'm just trying to learn more about you, Connor. And that's why we had here on the podcast today. Welcome, everybody, to Chuckle Sandwich. We've got Connor Eatspants. He's a little bit against me this episode. I don't know if it's true.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You just love Theodore.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, wow, you're just picking.

[Jay Schlatt]

So we're making fun of disabled people now? Is that what's going on? Adhd. I'm disabled.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm disabled, too.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Don't even started.

[Ted Nivison]

He's kidding me.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No.

[Ted Nivison]

What really want?

[Jay Schlatt]

What's your poison?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Which one you want to hear?

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, give me the list. Give me the itinerary.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Adhd, ocd. Eventually, a doctor was like, oh, you're on the spectrum because of the. Like, these things aren't like. They were like, I don't agree with those. You're on. You're this. And so then I just gave up.

[Jay Schlatt]

Like, which spectrum?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, autism spectrum.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, okay. So I was like, it's better than my Internet.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. So, yeah. Wait. Good one. Thanks, man.

[Jay Schlatt]

I'm so happy to have you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Cheers.

[Ted Nivison]

Cheers. Cheers.

[Jay Schlatt]

These are special jokes I was saving for you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yes. I mean, at this point, I just don't even. Like, I just. I'm just me and cancer in. Cancer.

[Jay Schlatt]

Cancer, definitely. Disability went away.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Benign.

[Jay Schlatt]

Benign, yeah. So, wait, was it a. Was it a.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, it was literally, like, they took numbers and they thought it might be cancer, and they took numbers again. They're like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, when you say benign, that makes it sound like it does. You had, like.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I had a tumor. No, I did.

[Ted Nivison]

The numbers themselves were benign.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, they were angel numbers.

[Ted Nivison]

Angel numbers?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Imagine you're, like, in the high range of something, and he's like, but it's an angel.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, they're reading up. Oh, is that looking good?

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, your cholesterol is776.7. But don't worry. Even though that's, like, almost triple the healthy amount, it's actually an angel number. So you're gonna be okay as long as you don't go to 778 or 776, you're fine.

[Ted Nivison]

Just maintain it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Heart rate's at 11, but, I mean, that's good.

[Ted Nivison]

I have a high resting heart rate.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, me too. Mine's really High.

[Ted Nivison]

But you know what they say? They say that people with low resting heart rates are violent.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, I've heard that too.

[Ted Nivison]

Look this up, Tucker. Low resting heart rate correlates to violence in men.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm gonna call Tucker Jamie throughout the episode because it's funny to me.

[Jay Schlatt]

Sorry.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That. Okay, wait, is that okay, Tucker? Cuz it's like Joe Rogan.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Okay.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's how I ref. That's how I made people understand him for a while. But I think that people on the podcast, like our watchers have really. I don't think that they.

[Connor Eats Pants]

A lot.

[Jay Schlatt]

The majority of our viewers watch any other podcast besides Chuckle Sandwich because people will be like, wait, okay, so Tucker's on the podcast, but. And he's talking. So that means that he's 100% third member. That's his role. And like, they've never confused. They are. They've always been confused. Not that you're not for Chuckle Week. It's more of a Jamie role. But when it's now. These days. Yeah. When he's just Daddy and Daddy, you know, Papa Daddy.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

And little Jimmy. Who's Jimmy? You're little Jimmy. I thought you were calling Schlatt little Jimmy.

[Ted Nivison]

No, dude, I'm Daddy.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's Daddy. No, you're Uncle Spud.

[Ted Nivison]

Scroll down here.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Wait, no, look at that. AI over you.

[Ted Nivison]

No, no, I don't want the a. Want the. I want the actual study, please.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Holy. Okay, that's.

[Ted Nivison]

Compared to men with resting heart rates greater than 83 per minute. That's me, by the way. The low heart rate group was 39% more likely it can be convicted of violent crimes.

[Jay Schlatt]

Is it because their blood runs cold?

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's significant.

[Jay Schlatt]

I think it's just because they're more active people. Yeah, they're used to. They're better.

[Ted Nivison]

They do more.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I would think they're just more calm. Like, they're more like. They. They don't fe. They don't react.

[Jay Schlatt]

Lower heart rates is usually consistent with more, like, being in better shape because it's just like, your heart's working less.

[Ted Nivison]

Hard to keep you pumped.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Or like, it's just your heart's strong.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Whenever I kill people, I'm like, way over 83 beats.

[Ted Nivison]

That is a good point. Whenever I do something bad, my heart rate usually spikes.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Right.

[Ted Nivison]

You know.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really? Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

You don't. No, you stay calm.

[Jay Schlatt]

Dead calm.

[Ted Nivison]

What's your resting heart rate?

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, my. Resting. Like, I'll. I'll check myself in the morning, and it's like. It's just sitting at 100. It's 120.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's awesome.

[Jay Schlatt]

So I did do an. When I did the Anthony Padilla episode, I kept. I was wearing my Apple watch and I kept getting little notifications from my Apple watch where it was like, hey, your heart rate's high. So I was like, God, my Apple watch is being so annoying. It's telling me my IRA is too high. And I was like. He was like. Or you know what? I saw him at the Streamys and that had come up. And then it came up again because he was, like, showing some serious concern about it. Yeah. So, no, it's sitting around 100. 120. I think it's because of my meds, because I'll take. I'll go off my meds and I'll be rocking like, 80 or something. Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

So you get violent off your meds is what you're saying?

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, like, yeah, dude. Like, I'm. I'm. I'm fine, though.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay. Why are you. You're like, restraining your right arm right now. You're holding it down, dude.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. No, no.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Just a little inherent response.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, no, but I'm so happy to have you here today.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm happy to be here.

[Jay Schlatt]

I'm so happy to have you here today.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's crazy. I was talking with you about this a few weeks ago when I went to TwitchCon. It's been five years that we've been, like, doing this, like, this whole thing. Yeah. Like, successfully and like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Five years. Is that true?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, 2019. TwitchCon was five years ago.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

I was just growing in 2019. Yeah, 2019 was, like. I would say that 2020 was my year.

[Ted Nivison]

That's fair.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, I thought you were big at the time.

[Ted Nivison]

You were a late bloomer.

[Jay Schlatt]

I was a little bit of a late.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I thought Ted was, like, one of the bigger. No, he started.

[Ted Nivison]

I was like, ted's bigger in stature, but not in numbers.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I always thought you were like, I.

[Jay Schlatt]

Think I hit, like, 100,000 subs in, like, the fall of 2019.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

So, like.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, that's late. That's late.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Dude.

[Ted Nivison]

I was there like, a year before.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, we're all around the same time.

[Jay Schlatt]

I was at 7,500 subscribers in January of 2019.

[Ted Nivison]

Small.

[Jay Schlatt]

So if they give you an understanding of, like, where.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, it's about.

[Ted Nivison]

It just passed five years for me doing it full time when I dropped out of college. Dropout about a month into the semester in 2019.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, I just. I fucking was like, I gotta finish this.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

That's why you were a late bloomer.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Because your time was spent.

[Jay Schlatt]

My output has been the same, though.

[Ted Nivison]

That's what usually happens, though.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. I think, like, when you finish school, you're like, oh, yeah, man.

[Connor Eats Pants]

My output was better when I was, like, in high school. Like, I actually worked harder. I feel almost the routines. Yeah, I did. There was the routine.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's why I started, like, I've started doing little class things outside of.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, nice.

[Jay Schlatt]

Outside of classes? Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Classes like of what?

[Jay Schlatt]

Various skills.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You want to do an improv class?

[Jay Schlatt]

That's what I was doing.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I would absolutely go to improv class.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. I feel like that I did one in middle school, and I think that really helped with, like, streaming.

[Jay Schlatt]

What I did was I did, like, this look, just like, a workshop thing where it was, like, showing, like, the base stuff. And then I actually recently did an audition for, like, there. Because you have to audition for their base, like, their basic classes and go through the stuff. And so I did that literally on, like, right before Chuckle Week started, like, the day that you guys landed.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'd rather go to, like, a shitty improv class where you go on Craigslist. And it's like a guy here that has been a failed actor.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Like, I want to be in the victorious improv class. Not something you have to audition for.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Mr. What's his name? Dershowitz.

[Ted Nivison]

Sikowitz.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Sikowitz.

[Ted Nivison]

Sikowitz. Sipping out of a coconut.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, there's a bunch of different improv schools. There's ucb, Upright Citizens Brigade, and a lot of people like that.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Did they name Sikowitz off Alan Dershowitz?

[Ted Nivison]

Now I think about it, maybe who's Alan Dershowitz?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I forget if he's like, the good one or the bad one. There's two lawyers, and there's one that's evil and one that's good.

[Jay Schlatt]

That guy does look like an improv guy, though.

[Ted Nivison]

I want to be at Hollywood Arts at Mr. Sikowitz's class. Oh, you know what I want to. You know what I want to see? Never mind. They're high schoolers.

[Jay Schlatt]

Good call, man. Good call. Nice. No, that was a good call. But they. But we. You have to think about, like, where we were when we were. When we saw this show. We were also children. They were older than us.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

And they remain older than us.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It is crazy, like, how much impact Dan Schneider's shows have for how evil he apparently is.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's not like they're immortal and they stayed that age.

[Ted Nivison]

No, they didn't.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like Drake and Josh icarly in this show have such, like, staying power.

[Ted Nivison]

And Sam and Cat.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yes. Well, yeah, Damon. Cat has great bits.

[Jay Schlatt]

What was the name of the girl that was like, angry all the time?

[Ted Nivison]

Jade.

[Jay Schlatt]

Jade. I'd let her kill me.

[Ted Nivison]

I was gonna say something about Jade as well.

[Jay Schlatt]

I would let her kill me.

[Connor Eats Pants]

This show, just like the thing about Victorious is Tori is the worst character. And it's nothing against Victoria justice, but she's by far the most boring character. This show should have been called Andre and Friends. This show is so much better when it's just Andre doing stuff.

[Jay Schlatt]

I don't. No, like, this might be wrong entirely, but I feel like I've just heard so much, like, and I could be getting this information from Twitter, but like, Victoria justice being like a piece of shit.

[Connor Eats Pants]

What I haven't heard at all.

[Jay Schlatt]

I don't know.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I just heard like, I know someone.

[Jay Schlatt]

Maybe there was like drama or something. But you love her.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We have a mutual friend, Ted, and they love her.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Victoria is wonderful.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really. Okay, well, that's good. I think I. Maybe it was like some sort of Ariana Grande stand created narrative or something like that.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's crazy how social media can influence you like that.

[Ted Nivison]

It is true.

[Jay Schlatt]

I've been influenced.

[Ted Nivison]

I remember when I was watching Tom and Jerry as a kid. I would love Jerry. But then you grow up and then you realize, oh, Tom is the one who he's abused.

[Connor Eats Pants]

He's the working man in the house.

[Ted Nivison]

Tom is the blue collar man, and he deserves some more respect than he's given.

[Jay Schlatt]

And he is. He is Sisyphus.

[Ted Nivison]

He is Sisyphus, really. He truly is.

[Jay Schlatt]

And his punishment whenever he falls back down the hill is to be beaten senseless by his owners. I mean, he is in a impossible situation.

[Ted Nivison]

And you start to sympathize with that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

And you start to really like Tom as you mature. And I think the same thing happens with, with most Dan Schneider shows, the person you root for, AKA Tory, as a kid, you kind of realize, oh, she was. She was kind of a shit person in the show. Yeah, Carly was kind of like, not really likable either.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two year contracts, they said, what the are you talking about? You insane Hollywood.

[Ted Nivison]

So to recap, we're cutting the price.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Of mint unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a [e-mail] switch.

[Ted Nivison]

$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month.

[Connor Eats Pants]

New customers on first three month plan only. Taxes and fees. Extra Speed slower above 40 gigabytes. E. Details.

[Ted Nivison]

And you know what? I. I really started. Oh, you need. You need some. Some of this?

[Jay Schlatt]

No, no, hand it to me.

[Connor Eats Pants]

What is this?

[Ted Nivison]

It's Raid. Oh, sorry, there's just some buggies. I. I've really started relating to Trina.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Really? Vega?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Victorious. Andre and friends.

[Ted Nivison]

Is there a character you relate to most on Victorious?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, Rex. Rex. A little bit. Yeah. Rex. I mean, honestly, like, he's funny. I feel like he's his own guy. And not because of his stature, but because of, like, who he is. I don't know.

[Ted Nivison]

Ted, can you stop fucking spraying? Raid.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's a podcast.

[Jay Schlatt]

I think I got it.

[Ted Nivison]

It actually smells quite pleasant.

[Jay Schlatt]

I think I got it. See, it was there and now there's just foam.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Can we get new cups and I can pour a new drink?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, I think it should be fine. Not bad for human beverage.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It'd be really bad if I got. If I got cancer after this one, though.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, it would be so. Connor, what are you laughing about?

[Connor Eats Pants]

You're a funny guy. He's laughing.

[Jay Schlatt]

Are you laughing about cancer?

[Ted Nivison]

Cancer is the last thing I would laugh about. My biggest inspiration in my life died of cancer when I was 12.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, I thought you were saying your biggest inspiration in life is cancer. And I was like, no, Connor, you're sort of on a. How do you call it? You're on, like, a media tour right now, aren't you?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Yeah. Last week I had my Fortnite Friday with former Congressman George Santos.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wow, that's nice.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. How did that.

[Jay Schlatt]

I mean, like.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay, well, when it was. It was discussion, serious discussion about, like, AR15s and shit, interrupted by, oh, the storm's coming. I gotta go.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, so. But you've been. You've been kind of stepping up your Fortnite Friday game. I mean, this has always been. Fortnite Friday has always been a consistent thing for you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Talked about. Yeah, but like, past years, when I really started it.

[Jay Schlatt]

This past year is when you really started it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. I mean, I bet you've had it for years. I joked about it for years. I never did it. Oh, I'd be like, oh, Fortnite Friday. It'd be a bit. And I was like, oh, maybe I'll do it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, so you were doing it for the first time?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Just this year, I'm not good at my job. Like, I just say things and. Like, I don't actually. Like, he know. He knows I don't even, like, do things. Like, I just kind of say it or. Like, I'll just. Because I just stream. Like, I just play video games and I try to make myself laugh. And a lot of times I'm just tired and lazy. But, like, lately, past two months, I've not been as tired and lazy.

[Jay Schlatt]

I haven't been as tired and lazy either. It's. Some people say that it's the October, really. Some people say that it's the fall because it's like the second win that you get after New Year's where you're like, oh, shit, there's three months after New Year.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, that's not for me. You know, it is. Is I turned 25 and I had a quarter life crisis. Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's what it is.

[Ted Nivison]

Third, Maybe. Well, half.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, I think we're gonna live longer. As long as, like, the world doesn't explode.

[Ted Nivison]

We're getting to 100.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, if the world doesn't explode, we are gonna live longer. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Because we eat healthier.

[Jay Schlatt]

Something's gonna. Something's gonna come. Oh, I don't.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't feel that way.

[Jay Schlatt]

I'm not eating healthier, dude. I'm just.

[Ted Nivison]

They're gonna, like, give us that opinion.

[Connor Eats Pants]

They're gonna give us, like, a shot or something, and we like.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, a shot.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

A vaccine.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Something they're testing on mice right now. We're gonna get one more 50 and we're gonna be 25 again.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, that'd be nice.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Something like that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, it's much more likely the world explodes and within the next, maybe five.

[Jay Schlatt]

To six years, planet explodes from the.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Maybe, like, society or, like, structures of government. Arc economy.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. But back to Fortnite Friday real quick. So you started actually going at it this year. And the first person that I started to take notice of, like, oh, Connor's changing the angle here a little bit, was when you had the Tiger King on and he wasn't even playing Fortnite with you. He called in from prison.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yes. Yes. So the way that happened is he was active on social media, which that was interesting, considering he's in prison.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. I don't really know what they get in prison. Like, how much people have.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. I don't know if it's totally him or not. I mean, when I messaged, he would respond as Him. So I don't. But I know, like, his boyfriend outside of jail is helping him run the account or something. But, like, when I messaged, I was like. I sent the whole pitch to Fortnite Friday. I was like, you can come on the show, talk about whatever you want. I don't care. And so his response was a screenshot of it somewhere, but he just goes, I don't know shit about that game. Do you know anything about crypto? And I go, joe, if you want to sell a crypto thing, like, you can talk whatever you want on here. I do not care. Like, just come on the show. Yeah, and so he planned on it. He has to get. He gets one call a week, and so he, like, gets his, like, money.

[Ted Nivison]

That was his call.

[Jay Schlatt]

He used his whole week.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I used his call.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, you used his whole.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Found this out after the fact. Yeah, he has to pay to cost money to call too. So he had to pay money.

[Jay Schlatt]

How much did it cost?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't know. I mean, northern lion thought it might cost like 250, but it might just be Canadian.

[Ted Nivison]

Wow.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like currency.

[Jay Schlatt]

Is he in jail in Canada?

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, but that was. There's northern lion clip where he said that. So that was my only context for.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, so how long is he in jail for?

[Connor Eats Pants]

So apparently until like 2032 or something like that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Quite a while.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But he insists that he's getting out, like, by Christmas. That's what he was saying in the interviews.

[Ted Nivison]

What did he even do?

[Connor Eats Pants]

So he ordered a hitman on that one Florida tiger lady, but he says he didn't do that.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, well, if he didn't do it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's what he said. So he's gonna get mad at me if I misrepresent his argument here. So you guys should do your own research on this.

[Ted Nivison]

What is the animal abuse guy?

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, so Joe Exotic is serving a 21 year prison sentence for animal abuse and two attempt attempted murder for hire conviction. So he tried it twice.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Dude, Google. Can we talk about Google now? Like, it is actively a worse service than it's ever been solely because of AI because this is just wrong. Like, he's not at. He's moved prison since then and like, yeah, like, Google has actually become like, a worse way to, like, search for things.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, I don't think I've actually searched anything on Google without putting Reddit at the end in the past.

[Jay Schlatt]

Reddit is the savior.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, it's crazy though. Like, was Google not always AI? What makes it AI now? And why is it a worse, worse service? Like, it's crazy.

[Jay Schlatt]

So his original sentence was 22 years, but he got a one year reduction. Nice.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, so good for him. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. So I mean, by. At that rate, he's out by Christmas, maybe.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wow. So how did that one go? Because I didn't actually watch too many clips of it. I saw one clip. I'm ashamed to say that I've consumed most of these Fortnite Fridays through Twitter. Through the Twitter clips that have come out.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, of course.

[Jay Schlatt]

But I know that a lot of people have. In general, it's a. It's an event and people sit down and honestly, I feel like the next Fortnite Friday, I'll probably get a little watch party together.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, thank you. There were people that were doing that. I meant a lot. It was cool. But.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Well, I saw a tweet from Aiden where Aiden Calvin.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep. Guys were all watching it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I got a call from like a bunch of friends after Maya called. Cutie and Ludd watched it together. It was. It meant a lot. I mean, like, it's cool to like, see like all like, it have like a huge reaction online from like people.

[Jay Schlatt]

Sure.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But like, to me, it's.

[Jay Schlatt]

I mean, this is like your thing.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's like this is something completely.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And like, I have friends all over, like, the space and they know they like me and they care about what I do and stuff. So like, to have like a project that like, I'm like, actually like, really happy about. It's cool. Like, see my friends.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

You should be proud.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Thanks.

[Jay Schlatt]

And I'm proud of you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Thanks.

[Ted Nivison]

Who's next?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't know, but I want to try to get Somebody's not a political figure. So the show doesn't keep getting a political connotation, but it's kind of just that season. So I don't know.

[Jay Schlatt]

So how did. How did the. How did the Joe one go?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, the Joe one went great. It was exactly how I planned it. And within 30 minutes, I tried to like, keep amping him up and revving him up and stuff throughout. And then once he gave me the notification that he was like, only had three minutes left, that was when I really started pressing him. And I was like, how about the Tigers or whatever? And like kind of like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Right.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Poked his. Poked him a little bit on some stuff. Like you would. You kind of mistreated the tigers. Even if. I don't know if he really did, but he was like, seemed like he did and so he got mad and he. Hang up. Hung up like right at the end at like, 28 minutes rather than like, 30. But, yeah, it was perfect. I loved it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. I was like, I saw that clip of you talking about the tiger thing, and I was like. I was like, I wonder what. At what point he's doing this, because that seems like it's like a delicate thing where he could just be like, I can wait a week until I call someone else.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Jay Schlatt]

And just hang up.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Because he couldn't play fortnight because he's in jail. I had. I made a fortnight account called, like, Santa Rosa Police Department, which is the jail that he's at. And I just had a chatter, like, play on the account for me the whole time. So, like, if you'd, like, tuned in, you would. You would see me like, what the hell? Is he playing the game? Yeah, but it was good. Bit funny enough, that person that played on it is a guy that, like, just replies like, every single one of my tweets now and is like, put me on Fortnite Friday. They're just like, some kid.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And I, like, I got annoyed by them. So I was like, all right, dude. Like, here you go. Like, here's your opportunity on the show. Like, I have you do this. And then, like, awesome, perfect. They finished. And I was like, hey, thanks for doing that. And they're like, okay, thanks. Yeah, I'm not going to stop, by the way. Like, not that, like, I really, like.

[Jay Schlatt]

He's like, now I've gotten a taste. I'm never gonna go.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That guy's not gone. And I don't want to block them because attention is kind of my job.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. It's all of our jobs.

[Ted Nivison]

What happened with George Santos? Was he playing.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, he was actually playing on Switch.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. No, that was. That was real, real disgrace. Congressman George Santos.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Ted Nivison]

That's funny.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't even. I mean, what do you. What do I even say about that? I mean, I just asked him, and he did it. Well, so what happened?

[Jay Schlatt]

No, he did a whole poll.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So before this, like, I was tweeting at him, was like, george, come on the show. And he noticed, like, the attention it was getting. And so I messaged him and gave him, like, the. The. The pitch, what it was. And he goes. He's like, oh, this is the George Santos team. Because I messaged him as the Connor Eats Pants team. Not true. It was just me. And he. Because I don't have an age or anything right now because I suck at my job, but he goes, this George Santos team. And they're like, the oh, it's like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, he's, like, trying to. Like, I knew.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I knew full well we were both bullshitting each other. So he goes, like. He goes, like, the appearance fee is $6,000.

[Ted Nivison]

What? No.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And I was like, oh, I can maybe do, like, $180. Maybe, like, I don't know, Like, I don't want to like, you.

[Jay Schlatt]

You. You. Your. Your counter.

[Connor Eats Pants]

My offer was $184 is not really.

[Jay Schlatt]

What brought you to the number 180.

[Connor Eats Pants]

As opposed to my bank account. My bank account rock. And so I did that, and he goes, no, can't do that. So I was like, yeah, well, I can't. I can't pay that much because, like, in my. I just made some. I was like, in my Twitch contract, I can't pay political figures to be on my stream.

[Ted Nivison]

So you lied?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I lied.

[Ted Nivison]

I just lied.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And so. But then he was like, that's fair enough, you know, let's do it anyway. But then I stopped. He didn't reply.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, he ghosted you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I stopped replying to. Well, I would apply to his tweets still occasionally and still get big numbers.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And my hope was, you know, he loves. He wants attention. That seems to be what he's after.

[Jay Schlatt]

Right.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And so I was like, maybe this will work. And sure enough, like, the day I got back from TwitchCon, I get a message that's like, I spoke to my.

[Jay Schlatt]

Team and, okay, I thought about it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And I'll come on your show if you appear on my podcast. I'm watching.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I guess I'll be on his podcast whenever he launches that coming up.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay.

[Jay Schlatt]

Do you think you're still coming on?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, no, he's still super friendly to me. I mean, he sent a super nice message after and everything. Like, he was very friendly.

[Ted Nivison]

Tweeted publicly. He was like, I loved the thing with Conor.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Oh, I mean, great. To his credit, like, he seems to be as open book as he tries to be. I don't know, like, whether he still lying about a ton of the stuff, probably. But, like, it's. I don't know. Like, I.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's one of those things where, like, politicians are such a category. I mean, we just have.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't even. Like, this guy's a whole different ballpark of guy. Like, it's like he's not only a politician, but he just, like, got in there by, like, just making things up along the way, the whole way, like, just saying things.

[Jay Schlatt]

And that's how he got kicked out, because everyone was like, you made all this?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, he got kicked out because he misused campaign finances to, like, go on like big expensive trips and like. Oh, well, that's not that bad. Maybe Nintendo.

[Ted Nivison]

We misuse chuckle sandwich finances all the time, you know.

[Jay Schlatt]

What do you think you're drinking? This. This golden nectar here is. Is. That's a write off. That's a write off. That's so much fun.

[Ted Nivison]

Fortnite Friday is not like you're not trying to burn bridges with all the guests.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, no. So that's another thing.

[Jay Schlatt]

That was something I was wondering about too. It's like, how do you do you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, so, I mean, to be fair, before Tiger King and Joe Exotic, I had a little pump on a little pump. That was a great episode. We were amicable, even if we have political differences. Sure, it was great. Before that, we had McKenna Grace, fan of mine and fan of this show as well.

[Jay Schlatt]

McKenna Grace, friend of the show.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep, friend of the show. McKenna Grace, she was great. And had Elmo from Elmo's World.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, really?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Elvis? Elmo? Yep, it was Elmo.

[Ted Nivison]

I tuned in for the Elmo one. It was great.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Really great guy. No, great guy.

[Jay Schlatt]

You had Elmo.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Elmo, the red guy.

[Jay Schlatt]

I feel like I would have heard about this.

[Ted Nivison]

Tucker, the three and a half year old little boy. The little red boy.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, that little red boy.

[Ted Nivison]

He was on it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Show me that little red.

[Ted Nivison]

Look up Connor eats pants Fortnite Friday.

[Jay Schlatt]

No way. Go Midway something.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, look, he's on his account, too. Look what it says. Wait, can you pull up his.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, which is.

[Jay Schlatt]

Let me hear some sound.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Account name is Elmo. Sesame Street. It's so cool. It's crazy how far technology has come. Yeah, great. Wow. What was a Covid like for you, Elmo? What was that situation like? Let me tell you, it was really hard for everybody on this set. You know, look, like Sesame street, the.

[Jay Schlatt]

Show that I'm on.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. There's a lot of people who didn't.

[Ted Nivison]

Want to mask up, me included.

[Jay Schlatt]

Explain this to me, you know. Okay. You gave a large explanation for every other person you've had on the show. And then when I reached out to.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Sesame street team, almost a fan.

[Ted Nivison]

What more do you need?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Here's the thing. I'm a blue collar streamer, Ted. Like, I might be streaming deadlock to 430 people on a Tuesday night.

[Jay Schlatt]

What makes you a blue collar stream?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Because I'll stream deadlock to tune in. Not that bad. 430 people on a Tuesday night.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But you know, people still Tune in and they sell. This is so.

[Jay Schlatt]

So where do you think that. When do you think that a twitch streamer crosses from a blue collar streamer to a white collar streamer? What's that number look like to you?

[Connor Eats Pants]

When they take their job too seriously, I think. I don't know.

[Jay Schlatt]

So it's not an. It's not a. It's not a quantifiable number.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. I feel like if I thought too much about this, not only would I not be like as excited to do it, but I. The authenticity goes away.

[Ted Nivison]

Who is the biggest blue collar streamer, you think?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Ooh, that's a good question. It's gotta be a kick streamer. For sure. Gotta be a kick streamer.

[Ted Nivison]

Maybe it's Jack Doherty.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Might be Jack Doherty.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. I mean, there's nothing more blue collar than texting while driving and crashing.

[Ted Nivison]

A lot of poor people do that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So awesome. Like the fact that like when he like he's still streaming after, like he crashes, he pans over to his friend, it's like bleeding pans back to him. And then he's like, the guy's trying to pull him out of the car and as the guy's pulling out, he goes, hold this, hold this. And he's like making sure the guy's saving his life, is holding the camera. It's just like dystopian. Like there's nothing behind his eyes. It's crazy.

[Jay Schlatt]

I'm thankful that I remember seeing videos from that guy. Like I saw a video of like his, like, because he just uses his bodyguards. So like just go and fuck with people. Like, I don't usually express opinions on other content creators, but that Jack Doherty guy is like.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, no, I kind of like that though. Like the fact that he's so universally hated by everybody, even people that I hate being a.

[Jay Schlatt]

He's being a dope.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I know, but there's such a dope. But as like a. As an idea, as a concept, he's.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, like, well, cuz. How old is he? How old is he?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't know.

[Jay Schlatt]

He's 20. He's 20.

[Ted Nivison]

20?

[Jay Schlatt]

I think so.

[Ted Nivison]

Wow.

[Connor Eats Pants]

He watched it. He watched SMP Live.

[Ted Nivison]

Totally watch SMP.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

He's 20 years old. I mean this, this is like. This is a separation between like someone like us, where it's like he doesn't remember a pre, like content creator, Internet. Like, I don't think he has a memory of that. Whereas like, you know, I was fucking seven when YouTube was invented. There are.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, no, I was seven YouTube was invented because I started when I was seven.

[Jay Schlatt]

Sorry, I was nine. I was eight. Math is good. I was. Wait, 2005. So, yeah, I was seven.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Okay, well, no one did. I started it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Started. It was invented. Released In February of 2002.

[Connor Eats Pants]

January 2007. So I was 7, 8. You were like the same.

[Ted Nivison]

What are you getting pissed for? This is a stupid thing.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Get hung up on.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, you're in my. You're on my side.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We're the same age.

[Ted Nivison]

I am on your side.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Thank you.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, well, fuck you. This is just. Wow.

[Ted Nivison]

Genre pranks.

[Jay Schlatt]

So happy to have you here.

[Ted Nivison]

Pranks.

[Jay Schlatt]

No. So he is. He's 20. So that means that he was born in 2004.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's crazy. There's only three paragraphs of controversy. Come on, they could do better than this.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, yeah. The Druze Halloween party, when he was involved with a verbal argument with other guests. Bodyguard attacked one of them on February 21, 2024. Doherty was sued for assault and battery by Chase Gardella for the incident. Yeah, I mean, I've seen that video. It was like. It was fucking insane. And then he has bad Octobers.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, it's just not his month. Angel numbers.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, he's had a bad October two years in a row. And I'm gonna have a bad October next year.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Something with the moon or something like that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, the moon and the sun.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, he grew up on Long Island.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, that explains a lot.

[Connor Eats Pants]

How far is that? Wait, what's the high school. Scroll down. You know that high school was the high school North. North Shore.

[Ted Nivison]

High school. North Shore. Oh, no, no, not. I'm not familiar, but I mean, this.

[Jay Schlatt]

Is like someone who has also that profile picture.

[Ted Nivison]

Holy shit.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Click home again. I crashed my Lamborghini. It's a six month old video. He keeps crashing these things.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, it seems like he's going out of his way to do it.

[Ted Nivison]

He probably did.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Don't say that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Why not?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Okay, I don't think he crashed that one.

[Jay Schlatt]

He also. Someone destroyed my Lamborghini a month ago, and then 22 hours ago, I crashed my McLaren.

[Ted Nivison]

These don't even get good views. How is he making money?

[Jay Schlatt]

That's my question as well. But what I really want to focus on is his profile picture. That is crazy. That is.

[Ted Nivison]

He's got the lettuce. Man, are you jealous?

[Jay Schlatt]

This. I mean, this has got to be. You know what he visually looks like to me? He looks like the richest lacrosse kid that you ever knew at your high school.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

You know, he looks like Like. Like, he wears his fucking fancy basketball sneakers that he's done not trying to crease and, like, he has a little.

[Ted Nivison]

Hop in his step.

[Jay Schlatt]

I was literally going to say that that's crazy that you brought. No, I'm being honest with you. That is absolutely what I was thinking just now.

[Ted Nivison]

There's always one kid with the hop.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Yeah. And then, like, they sway with Daddy's Maserati. Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Or like, his dad's F150 and, like, plays, like, music really loud.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Maybe that was more of a Southern thing where they really like trucks.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. No, he definitely was on musically.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, my God, look at how young he is there on the Pinterest page.

[Jay Schlatt]

So when you haven't jack on the.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Show, I'm actually down. I think that'd be a funny guess, but I think it's banned from everything, so I can't do that.

[Jay Schlatt]

You think it's banned from every.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, it would get you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I would assume he's banned on Twitch.

[Jay Schlatt]

He was on Kick. He got banned from Kick.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We assume you to be on Kick, you have to be banned on Twitch, but that's not actually true. Now, sometimes these guys are just there because they get more of a better split for their bullshit.

[Jay Schlatt]

Right.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You have to keep that in mind. Like, he gets 450 a sub.

[Ted Nivison]

Do you actually a good split?

[Jay Schlatt]

Who is Neon?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, he's like. He's like this guy.

[Jay Schlatt]

I don't know who Neon is. I've seen. I've seen him, but I feel like it's just. He's one of those streamers that, like, same archetype. He kind of just walks around and talks to people.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, but it's. He's, like, actively trying to, like, annoy and harass people. He was, like, in, like, Saudi Arabia or, like, Dubai. I think the same place. But he was like, oh, got, like, in trouble there for, like, filming somewhere. And he was, like, detained for, like, two or three days.

[Jay Schlatt]

Rock.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And so I tweeted at the Saudi Arabia embassy, and I was like, hey, by the way, he's also gay. Because I was like, we can fix this now. And then I was like, well, maybe don't do that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Right.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, no, no, that's quickly.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, what? So why wouldn't they? They would be like, this might be a hate crime. Let's release him.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, well, I just didn't want him to come back.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, they wouldn't have released him, Ted. Why? Yeah, because it's a Middle East.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, what about the Middle East?

[Jay Schlatt]

They don't do that gay thing there.

[Connor Eats Pants]

They don't. They don't like that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Nobody.

[Ted Nivison]

None of them.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, my idea was it brings light to, like, an issue there, because Saudi Arabia is a problem with that. But then I was like, no, this actually is, like, not a good joke to make. It's really not mine to make.

[Ted Nivison]

That's in poor taste.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Definitely in poor taste.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. I've learned I've gotten better over the years.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, we've really cleaned ourselves up. We have.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We have.

[Ted Nivison]

I think it just, like, ever dirty.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't know if you're up.

[Jay Schlatt]

I got fancy.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You got fancy?

[Jay Schlatt]

I got fancy. Not on the last episode.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't know what that means.

[Jay Schlatt]

I literally was fancy on the fly. Dude, that was impressive. If anything, that's more impressive than when you guys showed up with no, I got fancy. Fancy good. I got fancy within 30 seconds of me being expected to be fancy. So I can decide if you were fancy. Do we need to recall how many you got wrong?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, like, it's less like syrup the more you drink it.

[Ted Nivison]

It's just great. It's nectar.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It becomes just, like, liquor.

[Ted Nivison]

It's real good.

[Jay Schlatt]

So, okay, Connor, who is your dream guest on Fortnite Friday, then?

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's, like, a bunch. Like, it's such a tough question to answer because, like. Like, the funniest people are unfortunately, like, these political figures.

[Jay Schlatt]

So, like, it is definitely, like, the dichotomy of it is definitely.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And I think, like, when people tell me dream guests, I think, like. Like, a realistic level. Like, I try not to think, like, on things that could never happen until Donald J. Trump. Yeah, well, like, recently, like, Kamala Harris, like, she. Like, her Twitch account has been using my emotes. Like, I guess. Yeah, they were gifted. I don't know if they were gift. But you can't gift her subs anymore, so I don't totally know if she's, like, redeeming channel points, what it is. The social media manager. But they're using my emotes, like, in her chat. So I was like. Like, I don't know who to contact, but I was like, dude, like, if you want me to, like, have her on Fortnite Friday, like, I'll shill. Like, I don't even care.

[Jay Schlatt]

I feel like we're. When we're in. We're in the last month.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Before the election.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Be ridiculous.

[Jay Schlatt]

If anything, when this episode comes out, the election is over.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. So currently, I mean, there's an argument.

[Jay Schlatt]

Crazy. We actually don't know who won the election. That currently scary.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, this may never release.

[Ted Nivison]

We know.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We try to take it. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

You want to lock in a prediction right now?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't think we are going to have an answer. I don't think we are.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, what?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, I think that that's the craziest response. I'm telling you, they're going. What's going to happen is they're going to lay this.

[Jay Schlatt]

We're gonna be like, we don't know.

[Connor Eats Pants]

They're going to delay the certification of the vote in plenty of the swing states to where you can't, like, actually make a call.

[Jay Schlatt]

And then what? We.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We stop and then. I don't. I'm telling you, it's just gonna get weird.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's gonna get weird. Okay. Okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I think that Kamala Harris will win the popular vote. Like, overall, the question is whether or not Trump wins enough of the swing states to where he wins the election.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. It's crazy how close it's been for the last. It is most of our adult life. Because it. I don't know. Did it used to be that way? I think Obama won by a pretty wide margin. Well, in 2008, he fucking killed it. Because he was, like, the first guy that was, like, using the Internet. Like, he was the first guy that utilized, like, he would follow. Yeah. Like, online sort of promotion and stuff. And like, that whole hope sign and stuff.

[Ted Nivison]

Dude, he had good branding. He killed it online.

[Jay Schlatt]

He was the first social media office personality.

[Ted Nivison]

He really killed it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Damn.

[Ted Nivison]

Did a lot of that.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's just so wild. Like, not to, like, get, like, political, but, like, I feel like everybody that's, like, at least somewhat our age and, like, informed to an extent is, like, just, like, so burnt out and all this. And, like, I get it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, like, so wild. Like, it's just. The world is so crazy. Like, he literally, like, the stories behind, like, January 6th is just so funny. It's.

[Jay Schlatt]

Dude, I was, like, awesome. Like, that period was so interesting, too. Like, I found out on Twitter about January 6th while I was in line, masked up for a COVID test.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. That was the time.

[Jay Schlatt]

Like, that was. If that was, like, the most. I had probably the most of the times moment.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I was covered while it happened. Now I think about.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, we were, like, right in the throes of it. I think I must have been. That was probably my second month before.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We moved to Austin.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

You guys hadn't moved to Austin yet?

[Connor Eats Pants]

The month after February.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Interesting.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Damn, that was a fun time.

[Jay Schlatt]

It is really weird how far. How many years it's been. I measure my life mostly in years since I got out of college, and now I can't do that anymore because it's been four years. So I'm like, I graduated from the. From the college of being out of college. That's kind of how I look at it. Like, I was just a senior and I just graduated. Now you're on that. Now you're on that because you just graduated. Yeah, but I'm. We're on the tank, you know, it was different. Well, it's different because you're. I did it as an assumer. Because you're just starting your content creator journey. If it becomes a journey, I'm still at the point where I don't know if it will, you know, I don't have any clutter. I don't have any.

[Ted Nivison]

Come on, you're playing. You're going to squeeze every drop out of it. It's going on for at least a couple years, even if you start falling off now.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Jay Schlatt]

I don't think he's got. But he's got. I feel like every person, when they enter the online space, they have, like, a kinetic potential, you know, that makes no sense.

[Ted Nivison]

Those are opposite forms of energy. In fact, they've got direct opposite.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, sorry. They have potential energy.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And every object has potential energy.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, okay, guys, listen, you're butchering this.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I was actually.

[Jay Schlatt]

Every cotton there, they start like this, and then, you know. You know, you're not even gonna drop.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You're not even gonna drop.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's just how you use it. I mean, listen, I can't.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It is how you use it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say. I can't blossom unless you guys give me the opportunity to. And don't get all potential kinetic. I mean, what's the difference here? Nobody knows.

[Ted Nivison]

The thing you said.

[Jay Schlatt]

Nobody knows. I've never said something stupid in my life, Connor.

[Ted Nivison]

I think back to those early days of Austin, and the thing that strikes me the most about that time is like, holy shit, we drank a lot.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Did you guys really? Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Well, I mean, to be fair. You drank a lot.

[Ted Nivison]

I drank a lot.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You drank a lot.

[Ted Nivison]

I mean, I drank a lot of weight.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I drank a good bit, but, like. You drank a lot.

[Ted Nivison]

I was. Yeah, I was getting plastered off.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You were, like, unironically an alcoholic for, like, mid-2020 until, like.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, and it's funny because, like, that was supposed to be the Move to Austin was like me turning things around.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay. Nothing.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We had to adjust for a bit. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Nothing turned around. It just. You just. You just stepped on the accelerator.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. The best decision I made wasn't moving to Texas. It was probably getting jambo.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Who is just sweet little guy.

[Ted Nivison]

The fucking best dude.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I miss him. And Bumper hanging out. Poor guy. I wish Bumper had a friend, man.

[Ted Nivison]

You can get him.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I know. Well, I say that, but now he's too scared, bro. Like, he's. Yeah. Maybe I need to rescue another. I can't just buy a designer cat.

[Ted Nivison]

Like, oh, no. Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Pokey has these bougie cats and.

[Jay Schlatt]

Pokey.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

What does she have?

[Connor Eats Pants]

She's bow and.

[Jay Schlatt]

No, no. Like, what, What, What? What flavor?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Fluffy and orange. White.

[Ted Nivison]

White.

[Jay Schlatt]

Fluffy.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. They're definitely designer.

[Jay Schlatt]

That is expensive cat. That is a beautiful cat.

[Ted Nivison]

And you know what?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I bet.

[Ted Nivison]

I bet it's rude, spoiled as fuck. And it doesn't.

[Jay Schlatt]

I mean, it is kind of. It is kind of like the cat from. What is it? The. The Aristocrat cats. Like, the. It's like the girl one that was, like, really cool or really.

[Connor Eats Pants]

This cat is so bougie that I called her. I was like, hey, I need an automatic litter box for Bumper. And she was like, oh, one's great. And it was so fancy that Bumper didn't get it and he wouldn't use. It was like this special litter, and, like, he wouldn't do it, and so I had to just throw it out.

[Jay Schlatt]

Really?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Damn.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So I had to go.

[Jay Schlatt]

There's some crazy types of cats that I didn't know existed that I only know exist because of, like, Reddit and Tick Tock now Sack cats. Well, everybody knows about the ball. Terrible cats. Those are just, like, terrible cats. You know, Those are ones that remind me of Egypt.

[Ted Nivison]

Egypt?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. The naked cats.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like a lynx.

[Ted Nivison]

The lynx or the Sphinx.

[Jay Schlatt]

That. That one that looks like a cheetah is pretty cool. I bet it's expensive.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah, the leopard cats or whatever.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wow. Yeah. Those ones look like aliens.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't want. Yeah. I don't want to give, like, I feel like.

[Jay Schlatt]

I feel like if you made that thing, gave that thing a full body.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, I guess there's something, like, in. In us, though, that, like, I don't know whether it's, like, whether aliens planted us here or what it is that, like, made the Sphinx or whatever, but I look at that. I'm like. That is like. That could be, like, a God figure.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, you know that there's A hole in the sphinx.

[Ted Nivison]

Top of his head.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, yeah, there's a hole.

[Ted Nivison]

There's an iron trap door.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I really hope if there's aliens, they like. They do, like a face knowledge in there.

[Jay Schlatt]

Did you know that?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Well, some saying the aliens can do a face reveal scene. Like, we're getting this point where we're like, our world's gonna blow up. Like, if they're here, like, say something, please.

[Jay Schlatt]

Do you think that that's a guy or was that meant to be a cat?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Maybe both.

[Ted Nivison]

It was a cat.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. It fell off and then they carved it into something new. Definitely.

[Jay Schlatt]

Was it a cat or was it an anubis face, like one of those dogs?

[Connor Eats Pants]

It used to be, like, green. That's what it used to be like, green.

[Ted Nivison]

What, like Egypt?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like Cairo, like, all around, there used to be like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah, no, that. Yeah. In terms of the post Ice age period. Yeah. Global warming.

[Ted Nivison]

Post.

[Jay Schlatt]

So the ice age ended fossil fuel. But the. The area around Egypt and stuff used to be a lot more lush because.

[Ted Nivison]

Myrtle Crescent.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Different places before the weather machines nearby.

[Jay Schlatt]

Egypt is definitely in the Fertile Crescent.

[Ted Nivison]

No, it's not.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's crazy how interesting the world is in this regard where like, there's like, pyramids of, like, similar design and, like, shape, structure. Like in, like, South America and like Egypt. But then, like, you listen to Joe Rogan, you get some guy that's like. Yeah. And that was like the aliens that put. It's like, okay, well, let's slow down a bit.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, they were using some different form of energy. Let's. Let's not beat around that bush.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Right?

[Ted Nivison]

You can't build something like that without some.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You've gone the rabbit hole. Like the Nikola Tesla. Wireless energy.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, I'm just saying they were probably using some kind of vibrations to. To move those stones because you'd need. It would take just so long.

[Jay Schlatt]

Vibrations.

[Ted Nivison]

It makes you wonder what kind of alternate energy to move those stones.

[Jay Schlatt]

They humming at the stone.

[Ted Nivison]

There's millions of them and they're 80 tons each.

[Connor Eats Pants]

There's some great Joe Rogan episodes I can link.

[Jay Schlatt]

I feel like I could have done that.

[Ted Nivison]

No, you couldn't have. No, you couldn't.

[Jay Schlatt]

You're just saying that to be mean.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't think you could have done that either.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's the only reason you're saying that is because you want to hurt my feelings.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, that's the only reason you're saying.

[Jay Schlatt]

That if I tried hard enough and I had enough motivation, I could have moved those stones. Okay, okay. I'd be using levers, I'd be using switches. I'd be using millstones probably. Millstones. You ever heard of them?

[Ted Nivison]

I'm going to have a conversation with someone who gets it a little better.

[Jay Schlatt]

No, don't talk to him.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, I'm gonna talk to him.

[Jay Schlatt]

Don't talk to him. I don't want to hear what he has to say. Okay, but if he does talk to.

[Ted Nivison]

Him, tell me how the pyramids were built. Wait, aren't those stones 80 tons each? And don't you need like some kind of alternate energy, like vibration or harnessing the power of sound to make those.

[Jay Schlatt]

But answer in Mandarin Chinese.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Nice going, dude.

[Jay Schlatt]

Now you're never gonna know the answer. Asshole.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I used ChatGPT for the first time last night.

[Ted Nivison]

Did you? Yeah, it's amazing.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's actually incredible. Like I was looking up for 10, 15 to 15 minutes on how to like change Alt tab to not show Windows Previews anymore, to just show the little icons like I did like in Windows 7. And it was like all these things like go to your root kernel, like do command changes. And I was like, what if I just put this in the Chat GPT and it gave me a step by step, like what I do. Like literally I just. One step at a time and it just worked. I was like, that is insane.

[Jay Schlatt]

It really is the future of like search at the end of the day, like it will get to the point where what will come out is 98.9% accurate. Maybe not that full 9 9, but.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, I feel like there's like. I don't even know how to conscious or like to describe it with words, but there is like a gap in AI that I haven't seen it cross at all. And I don't even know describe. But there's like a in the way I explain things to it and stuff and I. That I wouldn't like a human that like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, there is. It's a. It's a definitely a more egalitarian way of. Of explaining speaking.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't know. He just is on one of those word kicks again.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, I mean you have to be a little bit. You have to be a little bit trepidatious with. With ChatGpt when you're plundering the riches.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Of the Sonian mind. That didn't make any sense actually. You said a galaxy.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, no, you have to be gregarious with ChatGPT. You have to be very honest with it, very chatty with it, and use all the words that you can in your vocabulary.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm just hoping that it ends up the robots from interstellar, like tars.

[Ted Nivison]

Yes. TARS was cool, too.

[Connor Eats Pants]

TARS is awesome. He's chill. But they're also subservient.

[Ted Nivison]

They are.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

He is subservient, which is where he should stay, I will say. Because people are probably going to get mad hearing Ted Nivison talk about AI being the artist he is, I don't think in any of the applications like. Like the Sora or like, hey, I. I recreated Studio Ghibli in live action with this. I think that's absolute horseshit.

[Jay Schlatt]

I agree.

[Ted Nivison]

In terms of, like, in terms of what I've been doing recently, which is using it for fun, talking to it in, like, a New York accent. Like, it's really good at that now. Yeah, it's really good at, like, if you're getting into a hobby and you want to learn a certain thing without having to go on a deep dive on a forum or something like that. I learned a lot of what I know about sumo through just talking to the thing and it gives you some nice answers. And when you're learning a language, because I'm a fucking weeb now, I talk to it in Japanese and it helps with.

[Jay Schlatt]

It could definitely be very helpful for, like, language. Oh, for conversational learning of language.

[Ted Nivison]

Duolingo is now working on, like, a little animated vtuber thing that's AI that can talk back to you at your level.

[Jay Schlatt]

That would be. Yeah, because honestly. Honestly, that would probably fat. Because I really want to learn Spanish. I don't know. Yo see, yo took it in high school.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I took Latin in high school and not Spanish, so I know, like, nothing useful. No, it was actually good because I met the best teacher because most my teachers sucked. It's weird. Like, I wonder what's happening with AI because, like, there was all that stuff, like, open AI earlier this year. Like, so they're always like, what happens with, like, the highest people in business is like a year or at least six months ahead of, like, whatever's going on. Like, when the head guy left, it was a huge deal and everybody, like, protest left the company until they would bring him back. Then they.

[Jay Schlatt]

Maltman. Is that what we're talking about?

[Connor Eats Pants]

And then they brought him back and now six months later, everybody else that, like, defended him is now leaving the company and selling their stock.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So it's like they thought initially something happened where they were like, he has achieved something that is so profound that, like, we need to protect him in the space and then six months later, they're like, oh, he got back.

[Jay Schlatt]

He got back and he thought he was. He thought he was Steve Jobs, and he got evil Open.

[Ted Nivison]

AI has been kind of a train wreck if you're following the. The news about it. But I will say this. Like, I'm not using. I'm not talking to Claude.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Or Meta AI or something. Grok, dude. Grock can't talk to me. Funny.

[Connor Eats Pants]

What's funny about Grok, though, is he's made to be racist. Like, Elon. Elon literally put in a feature that's called Fun Mode, where you can just, like, actively. Like, if you're, like, a loser online, you can, like, be.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, yeah. Like, tell me a joke about Kamala Harris and, like, it'll just, like, shit on. Come on. Yeah, yeah. No, Elon is becoming. It's so funny. What's happened to Elon Musk? He used to seem like. I remember back in the day, I was like, this guy's pretty cool. He's gonna be taking us to Mars.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

And he's putting in.

[Ted Nivison]

He's.

[Jay Schlatt]

And he's making rockets, and he's making electric cars. This guy's sick. There are still people who feel that way, but most of the time, I'll see Elon Musk doing the.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Doing his little jump like that, and I'm like, this guy is actually the biggest loser in the fucking world.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Exactly. But he's like. But it's interesting because it's like, this is like, an older guy doing not our job, but something similar to us, where we are in the public eye and, like, we are expressing our thoughts and saying things online. It's like the fact that the richest guy in the world can, like, in our eyes, become so much of the rich. He's just so obvious. Like, we can. We can psychoanalyze him and be right. Like, we can easily understand, like, what. What his deal is. And it's like, dude, like, that's interesting to me.

[Ted Nivison]

The one thing I want to add is, Tucker, look up Elon Musk. Let that sink in. The day he bought Twitter, and he walks in with that sink.

[Connor Eats Pants]

To be fair, okay? People always have. He does look better in that photo. But everybody looks good holding a sink.

[Ted Nivison]

Look how good he looks.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I know, but, dude, everybody looks genuinely good here. He does. He does. But again, I think holding a sink in this way, holding a sink like this, you're always gonna look good as a guy.

[Ted Nivison]

Are you sure?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Because it's always gonna be all these arms, like, flat at the forearms.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Exactly.

[Jay Schlatt]

His like, cuz it's like this.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Unless you're like really out of shape, holding a sink like that is never.

[Jay Schlatt]

Gonna what his arms would look like cuz he's holding it up. So like his.

[Ted Nivison]

His biceps are flexing and he's aged significantly since then. I think there's no denying that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

I made a big meme about him. I wonder if he saw it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah, yeah. That was when he was still cool.

[Ted Nivison]

That was when he was cool.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You know what I should start doing is tweeting that at him, is getting the Elon Musk, like video to him. And he'd be like, nice epic meme, dude.

[Jay Schlatt]

I feel like that is somewhere. Go.

[Ted Nivison]

Elon Musk was sitting in traffic in Los Angeles and thought about how cool it would be if he built a tunnel. So he built a tunnel under the city. And then he started selling hats for his tunnel. 50,000 hats later, he got bored with hats and switched the hats out for flamethrowers. He sold 20,000 of those. And then five days later, he tied his car. See, like this is all cool. I'm like admiring how cool this is.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You know, there's just so many wild things with this dude. Like he's like super like into like breeding. Like he wants to like, have.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, he's a breeder.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

The sequel is amazing. You should watch that one. Why does this have 7 million views?

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's more than human under the city.

[Jay Schlatt]

Is that just your. Your C920 microphone?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, it was a. That was the funny mic.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. How did you always. How were you able to switch to it so effectively on enough fundy. How. How were you able to switch to it so effectively while streaming?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, it was a stream deck that I had two buttons right next to each other. One that turned my actual mic on and off, and one that toggled the funny mic on obs.

[Jay Schlatt]

And so I would hit and Discord.

[Ted Nivison]

No, Discord. Discord was always. It was either one. There was no way to toggle between them on input on Discord, so I would usually only be in the funny mic on Discord or I'd have to switch it on the fly if I really want.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh. So I guess. I guess for sdmp, it works a lot better. Wait, no, it doesn't.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't. I haven't used the funny mic on sdmp.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, no, I'm just like. I feel like I remember you using the funny mic. Use the funny mic on Discord in SMP Live.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, yeah. Then it was set to my input as the funny mic.

[Jay Schlatt]

But then that wasn't coming through stream.

[Ted Nivison]

No. Often it wasn't interesting because I thought it was funnier if everyone else heard the funny mic. Because the funny mics funny.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Right.

[Ted Nivison]

While I was streaming, if I wanted to do like a half a second long funny mic thing where I'm just emphasizing one word with the funny mic.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

I'd say, I like cock. And then I'd hit both with. With my two fingers, my two fingies, and then it toggle both of them at the same time.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That was something we got at the time that I don't think many people did on, like, those Minecraft servers. Was like, especially when we're smaller. It's like, I'm putting on the show for where the people are. Yes. Like, I have my 40 people here, which was already new record for me. But, like, if, like, you're going live, like, I may as well, like, wait until after and then, like, do my bits off my own stream, of course. And so that I can set them up and do things or whatever.

[Jay Schlatt]

I didn't understand how to stream at the time, so I was doing. And I was still in college, a junior in college, so I was still doing, like, chill building streams with my camera on. Then while my roommate. My no talking streams. Well, because my roommate would be asleep. But I didn't want to stop streaming because I had that initial feeling of like, oh, this is doing well. I gotta be streaming all the time. So that's what I did.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

At work Gardens Apartments at Ithaca College.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I would say the only, like, really great streams in the era are Josh's solely because he would just get, like. I don't know, maybe it's just what I appreciate in a stream, but there's an artistry and, like, Josh getting so mad at his chat ask. Giving him money actively and him just getting mad about it, like, yeah, like, go get slapped.

[Ted Nivison]

He's like, stop. Stop doing that. Like, stop giving. It was the same vibes on SDMP too.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Josh was the only person I ever watched on that.

[Connor Eats Pants]

He has not changed one bit.

[Ted Nivison]

No, no.

[Jay Schlatt]

You know what's awesome is I going on stream, too.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I saw Josh over the summer at a party, and I'm like, this is like late June, and this is right after the Joe Biden debate. And I was like, he's dropping out. Kamala's going in. And Josh goes like, nope, not gonna happen. It's never gonna happen. I was like, I'm telling you, this was Gonna. This is what's gonna happen, dude. He's like, nah, they won't do it. They won't do it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Whenever I see something presidential or Disney related, I will send it to Josh. I will send him a photo. Like, when I'm at. I think there was this one time we all went to Disney at one point and he showed us this one part on Main Street USA at Disney, where there's a light. Bu. Like, half and half.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's what he does.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's like red and white.

[Connor Eats Pants]

He gets fun facts.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah. No, he knows everything about Disney.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, wait, yeah, no, he pointed that out to me.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'll try.

[Jay Schlatt]

It must have been when we were there at the same time or something.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, we must.

[Jay Schlatt]

And so whenever I take. When I'm ever at Disney with people, I will show them that and I'll be like, my friend Josh showed me. He's actually a Disney expert.

[Connor Eats Pants]

When we went last time and Josh did this bit of, like, it is my birthday. I'm the birthday boy. And like, you guys, that was probably one of the funniest things that, like, it was ever just, like, between us, that wasn't for content I've ever seen. Like, the whole day he was like. He was the birthday boy. And he'd be pointing at things like, can we go there? We're like, no, Josh, like, we're getting.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I think he might have been there, but he was just like.

[Jay Schlatt]

I think I remember what you're talking about. Yeah. Because it was like, he'd, like, run ahead.

[Connor Eats Pants]

You were there. Yeah, he'd run ahead, be like, let's go. And we're like, josh, we're getting ice cream. No.

[Ted Nivison]

Was that the day that the. Those women screamed at us? Yes, that was at the top of their lungs.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Were you not there that day? Oh, maybe you weren't there that day.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, explain this. Explain this to me.

[Connor Eats Pants]

So we were getting ice cream at Disneyland. We were at the. Was it the Pix. Near the Pixar Pier is where that is, right?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, near the Pixar.

[Jay Schlatt]

Some California Adventure.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Yeah. It's like, where all the food is there and so we're getting ice cream and like, these girls across. We just, like, scream at the top of their lungs, like, scream and like, point towards our group.

[Jay Schlatt]

But particularly.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Particularly Schlatt, which. Especially someone to recognize, obviously, because he's the most public figure and also the stature and you have a unique look.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's one thing about being this tall is that people will see us. Yeah, they all. You'll always get if I'm in an area where there's a. Because you can kind of tell when there's a high. Like, you can tell based on the, like, the ages of people and like, sort of what the. How they're saying, the likelihood of you getting recognized. Like, you can. You give it like a. Like a. Like a. Like a 40 to, like 70% chance.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. And there's also, like, this is a side thing, but, like, there's a look of somebody that knows and then doesn't realize they're giving away that they know and they won't say anything.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

I like. I like doing the pre prediction. Yeah, I'll like, like, one time at a bar, I was in where Tucker lives, I was at a bar with him and I told him. I was like. I came up to him, I was like, I'm getting recognized right now. And he was like, what? What do you mean? And then like, maybe like 20 seconds later, they came up, I think. Yeah. You got recognized all over town that weekend. That was. That was weird too, because that's not like. I mean, I guess it's a college town, so.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But no, so these girls, like, recognized the group and, like, screamed like. It was like. People looked around like, are you okay?

[Ted Nivison]

It sounded like. Yeah, someone had started shooting.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, like, it sounded that bad.

[Jay Schlatt]

Like blood.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, it was like. It was. It was like, weird. And so we walked, like, away. Like I said, I wasn't with you guys that day. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Just feel like it's unlikely that you guys would have been at Disney and I wasn't there.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I think he was. Yeah. Because we were staying together that weekend.

[Jay Schlatt]

What weekend was this?

[Connor Eats Pants]

This was Chuckle Week last time, wasn't it?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, it wasn't last time. No, this was at least two chuckles ago.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Maybe it was too. Maybe it was, huh?

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay. Yeah. No, I was definitely there.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. But it was a. They scream and then we.

[Ted Nivison]

We walked away.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We walked away and sat down.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, we sat down, we got ice cream. And then we were being filmed at the table across because they had sat down next to us after we sat down and they were filming and shit.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And like, they, like, when we get up to leave, like, they get up and they're like, can we get a photo? And like, this was you.

[Ted Nivison]

The only time I remember this said, no, no.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, because that's weird.

[Connor Eats Pants]

And it was awesome. I remember, like, you go. You go. No, you guys were like. You guys were acting and this girl, like, like, tries to, like, point over.

[Ted Nivison]

Like, that wasn't me.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, like, honestly, I respected that play. I was like, honestly. Okay, that was good.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. Wait, what did he say?

[Connor Eats Pants]

She, like, pointed over to, like, somebody else. Like, that was like her.

[Ted Nivison]

I was like, just a whole group.

[Connor Eats Pants]

What are you talking about?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, I mean, no good for telling off, because there is a. There is, I think, here's my theory about like sort of fan culture in these days. And I was thinking about making a larger video about it, but I haven't really decided on whether I would just like on the whole area of it that I find interesting in positive and negative ways, I suppose. But I think that we as a culture when it comes to, like, when high tier level fan stuff started, was like, you know, 50s or 60s, you know, Elvis shit like that with rock and roll. And that was always a scenario where there was a. There was a inherent separation between the artist and the fan, where you could only really see them at shows or times that they presented themselves to the world. But now with the Internet and with the access, the level of access that people have to these people that they're fans of, I don't think that there was ever a point in which we as a culture needed to decide what are the levels of appropriate behavior for this circumstance. People stayed at that level of, oh my God, it's fucking Elvis. And then they never figured out that that's appropriate. Sure. At a concert, have a good time, great. But you can't be like that all the time. Like, that's not healthy. A healthy way to be.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I mean, even just the position that we're in, I think it's so interesting because like I said the Elon thing earlier, how quickly culture and stuff is shifting.

[Ted Nivison]

Also.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, let me just clarify. Not saying that we're like Elvis, though.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, no, no, no.

[Jay Schlatt]

Just also need to clarify that. But just at a base level of like fan to creator, fan to artist kind of relationship.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, what we do, like, it is uncharted territory. And like, even just like the way culture's shifting around, like celebrity figures or Internet people. Yeah. Like, it's like it's shifting so rapidly.

[Ted Nivison]

You're so much closer. You can just tweet at a former disgraced congressman and then he'll show up on your stream.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's getting bigger too. Like we were talking about this on another episode where like, YouTube is becoming like an actual, like, literal, I think more than 10 percentage, like ownership of the streaming space.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, dude, it is. I mean, that was. That's the pitch I make to like, sponsors or anybody is like, is what anytime they're spending watching my stream or a streamer or YouTube is time they're not spending on Amazon Prime Video time. They're not on Netflix time. They're not on any of these things. Like, and that's valuable to these companies. Yeah, yeah. But I was saying that, like, front of the show, McKenna Grace, like, even, like, seeing, like, her space and stuff, like, she's just like, a young actor.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. What was her. What was her show like?

[Connor Eats Pants]

It was awesome. She's great. But it was. It was interesting because she had, like, other, like, young actors that were there as well. They're like. There was like, the girl from, like, Doctor Strange and stuff. Like, other, like, young, like, people that are, like, actively growing as, like, actors and actresses.

[Jay Schlatt]

It is so weird how, like, they're all, like, 20. Yeah. Like, it's so confusing me because I'll be watching, like. And if she's a fish, does she listen to the podcast?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I think so. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's funny. So she's probably like, oh, my God, I've met her once. I met her one time. But when that connection was made of, like, oh, I know this person is now when I'm watching a show or something. She's in a lot of. Of movies.

[Connor Eats Pants]

There's definitely more that, like, haven't, like, reached out and said.

[Jay Schlatt]

I was watching this one show called I just, like, totally binge through it. I had, like, a moment where I'm just rotting watching it. Designated Survivor.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, she was on that one.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, she was. She was like, the daughter of, like, the guy who ended up being the president.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Because the. All the. The.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But no, I mean, the point I was getting at with it is that, like, they, like, as actors and actresses, like, in the past. I guess it's like you go to your audition, you make the pitch, and you see what you get. They're like, their name and what they do and their platform is tied, their socials the same way as us now. Like, when they have to go to auditions and things like that present their Instagram.

[Jay Schlatt]

Is this something that she was telling you about?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, yeah. I mean, reading between the lines as well. But they were also telling about it. Like, I mean, it's like, obviously stuff agents.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's interesting. I never thought about that.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Like, how's.

[Jay Schlatt]

How's your social following?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, isn't that. It's like. That is certainly, like, these agents are looking at that. It's a factor in everything. Like, it's. It's wild.

[Ted Nivison]

And for every person like McKenna Grace, who is open about her loving the dream. SMP.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Shut up.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Well, more so Friend of the show.

[Ted Nivison]

I just saw the friend of the show.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Don't tarnish her.

[Jay Schlatt]

Like friend of the show.

[Ted Nivison]

There's 10 others who were secret. SMP who will never fess up to.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I was really hopeful that Barron Trump was one of them.

[Ted Nivison]

Baron.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I was really hopeful. I think his take, he's gone full.

[Jay Schlatt]

I saw a thing about how he said some sort of egotistical ritual.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, he did. But he also is the one that organized Aiden Ross with Trump. So he's that kind of everywhere.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, no W community.

[Jay Schlatt]

But if Trump was a child, he would be that type of.

[Connor Eats Pants]

We should have known better. But, you know, there's always the hope that, like, you become the.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, it was funny. Well, it's because Aaron. Aaron Baron has a.

[Connor Eats Pants]

A little bit more.

[Jay Schlatt]

No, no, I'm all right. He's got like, kind of like a innocent looking face.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

But if you really think about it, that same innocent face will morph over the next 80 years into looking what Trump looks like. Exactly. Now. So it's going to become more of like a.

[Connor Eats Pants]

There's that clip of him. Like Tucker, try to find the clip of him. Like, Melanie. It's like the inauguration or something. He's like trying to go for like a high five and he like, he like gets pissed at her.

[Jay Schlatt]

How tall is he?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, he's a mom. He's like 6, 7, 6, 8. Yeah, he's a. He's a monster.

[Jay Schlatt]

Whenever someone's taller than me. Six, nine. He's six, nine.

[Ted Nivison]

Up on a podium.

[Connor Eats Pants]

There's angel numbers.

[Jay Schlatt]

There's some.

[Ted Nivison]

I loved. I loved. I loved those photos of like Barack Obama with the other politicians and shit because that motherfucker was tall, too.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Ted Nivison]

And Trump was tall, too. You need like a tall. Come on.

[Jay Schlatt]

I know. Six, nine, though.

[Ted Nivison]

That means kid. Let's fast track this kid.

[Jay Schlatt]

Three inches under seven.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Here. There it is. Yeah, he like snaps at her and like, almost hits his mom. Yeah, this is at the inauguration too. It's like, bro, the one time.

[Jay Schlatt]

How old is he in this?

[Connor Eats Pants]

In this? Oh, man, he had to be.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, he's 18 right now.

[Connor Eats Pants]

14, so.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, bro. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

He's in college now. He just got to nyu.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Give him some. Give him some slack.

[Jay Schlatt]

But still, he's got to be 14.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, I mean, 14, two inaugurations. But like putting your father. That was the president, on Aiden Ross.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, so that way he was 10, 12, 13. No, he was 10, 11. Was this at Trump's inauguration or Biden?

[Connor Eats Pants]

It had to be Trump's because they were not.

[Ted Nivison]

They were. They wouldn't go to Biden's.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, no, that was. That was when he was 10 or 11. Yeah, that's 10 or 11 year old behavior. He's just probably my height.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I won't give a shit for this. More so. It's more so the Aiden ross connection.

[Jay Schlatt]

Dude, 6, 9 is a remarkable height.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

You okay? You guys have seen how tall I am. That means that Barron Trump is 5 inches taller than me on the court.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Dude, I don't know why.

[Jay Schlatt]

Imagine someone 5 inches taller than me. Yeah, that's like me to you.

[Ted Nivison]

He does need to be on the court.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah. Really?

[Ted Nivison]

That much shorter than me?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, yeah. Like, get him out there, man.

[Jay Schlatt]

Why is he like.

[Ted Nivison]

I feel like. I feel like it'd be kind of like the ultimate slam dunk for him, no pun intended, of like getting. Getting obscenely famous. Not through his dad's legacy. Like, put him on the fucking heat.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Get him on the pole. I'm telling you, right?

[Jay Schlatt]

Turn him into a magic mic stripper.

[Connor Eats Pants]

My call. He is going to be awes in the next couple of years. Like as a figure, as whatever.

[Jay Schlatt]

You say that, but that really is just. Could. That could mean anything. That could just be him saying the most vehemently racist crap online and you'd be like, this is something about.

[Connor Eats Pants]

This is gonna be awesome.

[Jay Schlatt]

Definition of awesome can be electric. Inspiring awe.

[Ted Nivison]

Absolutely. Electric baron. Start dribbling.

[Jay Schlatt]

Here's what I'll say, though, when you say awesome. I know that you're not saying awesome. You mean funny.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yes, he's going to me.

[Jay Schlatt]

You're saying he's gonna be hilarious.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That's the same thing to me, though. Like, that could.

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, I know. I'm just clarifying for people what Connor means when he says awesome. He means that he's going to be hilarious.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But I also mean that in both ways. He could turn full heel and, like, be sick and, like, hang out with us, or he could just keep going this direction and be awesome that way.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay, I'll take it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

But he's gonna be something these next couple years.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's just funny because we haven't named or meant like, even acknowledge the dogs.

[Ted Nivison]

You told me not to.

[Jay Schlatt]

I know I did. It was just. And now you're holding it like baby Jesus.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yo, you.

[Ted Nivison]

This dog loves me, man.

[Connor Eats Pants]

This conversation all flowed naturally from us talking about Austin. I was thinking of it like, that was such like a fun time that we lived there because it was pretty much like our college years is how I look at it. Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Is that how you.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, that's how I feel about it. Yeah. Like, we moved out, we met new people.

[Jay Schlatt]

I mean, you guys were probably going to a lot of Austin parties.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, we went to a lot of parties. I mean, he didn't as much, but I did. And like, it was like, I don't know, like I've made friends that I would be. I'm hopeful I can be friends for life and stuff. They meet in college life and like, learned a lot about myself in the world. I feel like I look at like.

[Ted Nivison]

College got a lot of experience, so.

[Jay Schlatt]

Interesting. Yeah, you guys had a totally different sort of first move out experience than I did.

[Ted Nivison]

So many places too. Yeah, I moved like six times in.

[Jay Schlatt]

A year in Austin. Oh yeah, you did?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I moved like three. I couldn't do that much, but yeah, I can't imagine.

[Jay Schlatt]

Dude, I moved, I moved in that time. I've moved officially once and that was last month.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm happy to finally be in a place where I'm like, I'm hopeful I'll be here for a little bit. Like maybe over a year, maybe two. Like.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, no, I mean, I, I did the four years there and now I'm at this new place and I'm like, I should have moved. I. I should have moved. I was four years at that.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, you should have moved a while ago.

[Jay Schlatt]

I should have moved from that original apartment like two years ago. Yeah, like, I'm like, oh shit, wait, it could be better. Wait, I could have like an LG appliance in my place and not like the shittiest fucking wash. I mean, it was actually, it was awesome that I had an in unit washer and dryer in the first place because that was like some of the things I was looking for. But like, man, my washer sings to me now. Dude, it's awesome.

[Ted Nivison]

Shout fire.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yep.

[Ted Nivison]

Fire.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's a different story. Okay. Recently there has been a problem with my apartment and it. And now beautiful. Lewis came by this morning and he took, he took one of the alarms and he's gonna replace the battery and if it keeps going, then he's gonna.

[Ted Nivison]

He'S gonna replace the battery.

[Jay Schlatt]

Honestly, I could really, I realistically, I could have done that. I could have replaced a 9 volt battery. Like, and I don't think that that's the problem with it either. I think that it's, it's a new Apartment, like, it's not. Those things last for what, two years, nine volts? Yeah, yeah. But no, my fucking washer dryer, dude, actually dries my clothes. I can. I can dry. I can dry blankets, dude, I can dry towels in one go.

[Ted Nivison]

That's big.

[Jay Schlatt]

I used to have to take my towels and they would come out of the thing and like, I asked them to fix it at my old apartment. They were like, yeah, no, the air just doesn't work that way, man. Like, it's like we. It just can't get enough air to dry it fast. I'm like, okay, this new one, I could put my towels in one dry.

[Ted Nivison]

It would take me all day. Any load of my wash in Texas, even in the last place I stayed in in Texas would take, like, I had to put the fucking dryer on four times.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. And like, that doesn't. And laundry is already hard for a motherfucker like me with a broken.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Putty brain. So, like, having to keep on track of the left, God forbid, fold clothing coming out of the driver was bad. But to keep the amount of mildewy clothes that I had to deal with in the time that I lived in that apartment was insane.

[Connor Eats Pants]

That, like, soft. That's like. It's not. It's dry, but it's still a little damp. And you're like. You can tell?

[Jay Schlatt]

Well, no, I mean, like, when the washer goes in and then I put it in the dryer and I do like a full hour and a half. And then I. The next morning, I'm like, oh, it's probably gonna be dry. I open up, I smell it. I'm like, what is that smell?

[Connor Eats Pants]

I've never been that poor, but that's cool.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

La Man, Louisiana.

[Jay Schlatt]

Dude, my dryer, my washer, my dishwasher, they all sing to me now. They sing to the heavens. They sing.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Dude, I premium.

[Ted Nivison]

It took me so much convincing to get you to start spending a little bit of money, and you don't even.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Realize that the money.

[Ted Nivison]

In five years, the money is not gonna.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I did not know you were convincing him to spend money. I would. I always thought you were the cheapest person I knew.

[Ted Nivison]

No, no, dude.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. I don't really spend money on a lot of, like, crazy stuff. Recently, I've been kind of out of hand.

[Ted Nivison]

This fall at my behest. Dude, what does behest mean?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. No, actually, honestly, that wasn't a correct usage. No, that would have been at your disapproval, I'm pretty sure.

[Ted Nivison]

Behest.

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, interesting.

[Ted Nivison]

A person's orders or command.

[Jay Schlatt]

Interesting.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I did.

[Ted Nivison]

I did use that correctly.

[Jay Schlatt]

I think. I think I had a misunderstanding of it. Because of us. Of the transitional voiceover little slideshow that happens in the Witcher 3.

[Ted Nivison]

What?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

[Jay Schlatt]

The word behest is used at a.

[Ted Nivison]

Certain point of Tacoma and it. Jennifer's behest and it fucking.

[Jay Schlatt]

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

[Ted Nivison]

Wheel grinds up the first time I heard. Well, when he makes a right turn.

[Jay Schlatt]

I heard a lot. It's like 10 where I was like, I could use it. You have one on a lot of serious.

[Ted Nivison]

Like it's time to start spending money a little bit.

[Jay Schlatt]

I gotta get better at words.

[Ted Nivison]

Because in 10 years, once Kamala wrecks the economy and inflation is, as I hope she does, at its peak. Well, we'll know. We'll know for sure.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm voting for. To do that. Like, you know, I like a little like market crash builds character and builds up. You know, if I have kids in 10 years, maybe 15.

[Ted Nivison]

We've already lived through one man.

[Connor Eats Pants]

They need to like, they need a little hardship. Once she does 15 years, 25.

[Jay Schlatt]

You're gonna have kids when you're 40.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Probably mid to late 30s.

[Ted Nivison]

You want to be popping them out. Early 30s, you think? Yeah, early 30s.

[Jay Schlatt]

My dad had me when he was 40.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I would say like mid 30s.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. Yeah. How old is your dad?

[Jay Schlatt]

He had me when I was 40.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's a light that's late.

[Jay Schlatt]

You good at math?

[Connor Eats Pants]

No, I would say mid-30s.

[Jay Schlatt]

My dad had me when he was 40. How old do you think my dad is?

[Ted Nivison]

40.

[Jay Schlatt]

No, if my dad had me, like I was born when he was 40, so my dad's 40?

[Ted Nivison]

No, this is a trick question.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's not a trick question. It's just math. It's actually, it's addition, actually.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

You just add how old my dad was to how old I am now. My dad is your mouth. My dad is close to your mouth. My dad is 66 years old.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm just gonna drink the raid.

[Jay Schlatt]

Good looking. 60. 66 year old. Tucker was saying this today. Yeah, he's as bad. As good as it gets. Yeah, no, he's. He looks like a J. Crew model.

[Ted Nivison]

Is he retired?

[Jay Schlatt]

He makes me feel good about. He's gonna. He's actually retiring next year. Next year?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't look anything like my dad. Well, kind. I kind of do, but like for the most part I don't really. So I don't even Know what my ref. I look like my grandma, they say. But I can't really judge that because I haven't seen my grandma when she was younger.

[Jay Schlatt]

I'm definitely a mixture between my mom and my dad. I would say I'm a pretty solid mixture.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't know where I came from.

[Jay Schlatt]

We have more of your mom's.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, I don't know where you came from either, because I've met your parents, too. You don't really look like your parents.

[Jay Schlatt]

At least we're talking about what I look like. I think I look like a mixture.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I want to get that check.

[Jay Schlatt]

What do you think?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Remember when you came over and he was gone doing fuck all and I let you sleep on the couch?

[Jay Schlatt]

Oh, yeah. On the. On the. What was it? The rainforest trip?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. And the. And the truck. Wasn't the truck broke?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, you still have. And maintain for whatever.

[Jay Schlatt]

And I just spent a lot of money.

[Ted Nivison]

How much?

[Jay Schlatt]

Huh?

[Ted Nivison]

How much money?

[Jay Schlatt]

On the repairs?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. The recent one you did.

[Jay Schlatt]

I'm not telling that. I'm not saying that publicly.

[Ted Nivison]

Why not?

[Jay Schlatt]

Because that's. I'm not.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm not saying 6,000. I'm not saying 6,000. You get new fudge threats, Tucker.

[Jay Schlatt]

If you reveal any information, you're dead to me.

[Ted Nivison]

This car. You're paying more. You're like Kenan from this car pod.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't listen to that.

[Ted Nivison]

He's got a BMW M5 that he pays tens of thousands of dollars on yearly to maintain. Meanwhile, the car is even worth that much.

[Jay Schlatt]

Man, that car is my brand. That car is. That car.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's not your brand.

[Jay Schlatt]

It's my.

[Connor Eats Pants]

No one knows.

[Ted Nivison]

No one even thinks about your Tacoma, man.

[Jay Schlatt]

Are you kidding me?

[Ted Nivison]

Yes.

[Jay Schlatt]

In both of my. No, My Margaritaville and my Rainforest video, I talk about the Tacoma.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm back.

[Jay Schlatt]

A lot of people know about this coma. I'm back a bit on this channel where you talk about the basketball football size hole in the bottom of my Tacoma. The Tacoma is.

[Connor Eats Pants]

The Tacoma is kind of a while.

[Ted Nivison]

The money is still worth anything.

[Jay Schlatt]

Here's what I'll say.

[Ted Nivison]

Get a new car.

[Jay Schlatt]

Listen to this.

[Ted Nivison]

Buy assets, man.

[Jay Schlatt]

I asked a Jay Schlatt fan what car you drove. I think they would be less equipped to answer the question exactly.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Because he is. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

[Jay Schlatt]

And that's all I'm saying. You know, you take a look at my.

[Ted Nivison]

You hold my GEICO policy, man.

[Jay Schlatt]

You hold no allegiance to anything for months.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Damn. He's actually mad, too. You can Hear it?

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. You can hear it in his voice. That Tacoma is a beautiful car. It's. And anyone who knows a thing about cars, whenever I tell them about that, they're like, you gotta never get rid of that, man.

[Ted Nivison]

The one thing I like your Tacoma over my car is the cloth seats. Cars from like early 2000s to late, like, early 2010s had a superior seat upholstery. Yeah, that cloth. And cloth today doesn't hold a candle to it. You get in a car today with cloth seats and it feels like shit. But that soft cloth, it's so neutral. You get in when the car is hot or when it's freezing cold.

[Jay Schlatt]

You're right.

[Ted Nivison]

And the seats are just perfect. Doesn't. Doesn't happen with leather. Doesn't happen with the material they use.

[Jay Schlatt]

Man, I can tell you something about leather. When my. When I was a kid, my dad used to have a BMW convertible, and I would get in that car and if it was the winner.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

In Massachusetts, that was like stepping into an. A fridge, A freezer.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

I touched that. I'm like. And it. And if it was hot, it would be like, burning, of course.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. And then all the other metal pieces in cars today.

[Jay Schlatt]

And then. And then kind of like right now you lift your. You lift. Get your body off and it's like, stick to it.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, you stick to it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Stuck to it.

[Ted Nivison]

Leather skin.

[Jay Schlatt]

Why are we using the skin of cows as our furniture, by the way?

[Ted Nivison]

Also, I don't know. I don't know. That cloth.

[Jay Schlatt]

Why did we do that?

[Ted Nivison]

The cloth in your Tacoma. The cloth in my 09 Honda Accord. My first car. I just miss it so dearly. And that's the one thing. If I could make any change about my car, which is pretty much perfect in any other way, would take the cloth from that shitty truck of yours and I just put it on my seats.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I would just remove the shitty software from my car because I have the Tesla. And like, yeah, it's crazy how, like, shit it is software.

[Jay Schlatt]

I got a little thing we like, call radio.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, the only. It's crazy I haven't got that car, cuz moved to Austin. And then a week later, I remember the hailstorm hit.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, your Tiguan got.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, my Volkswagen Tiguan. It got little, like a couple small dents just on the roof. My dad on the phone's like, yeah, call the insurance. Let's see what they do.

[Jay Schlatt]

Total it.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, Like, I was totaled. I was like, oh, I don't understand the notion of totaling yeah, no, me neither. This is what showed me that is because they were like, oh, we'll give you, like, 14 grand for this car. I was like, holy shit. Like, awesome. And then plus that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Plus, wait, they said it was total, but then they said they give you 14 grand.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah.

[Jay Schlatt]

So that definitely paid it off.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Yeah, it paid it up. Well, yeah, pretty much at that point, because it was relatively new to an extent, and so they declared that.

[Jay Schlatt]

Why did they say it was total, then?

[Ted Nivison]

Because it would have cost them more to try and repair it. But it was probably some. I mean, some fucking agent who wanted nothing to do with it anyway, so he's most likely.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Fuck it. So then I did that, plus Joe Biden at the time, did a electric vehicle tax credit, and so did that. Plus, plus the totaling money, and I got a Tesla for, like, pretty much free.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. I realized recently that the word totaling, when people say, oh, I totaled my car, or whatever, it just means that it's, like, too expensive to fix.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, it wouldn't. It would make more sense with a.

[Jay Schlatt]

Little bit of elbow grease.

[Ted Nivison]

Ted, you're driving a totaled car.

[Jay Schlatt]

No, I'm.

[Ted Nivison]

Yes, that Tacoma.

[Jay Schlatt]

No, I'm not.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I like a total car.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay, let's. What sounded. Riddle me this one. Riddle me this one. What sound did it make as you pulled into the driveway of this studio?

[Connor Eats Pants]

It's called love. That's purring.

[Ted Nivison]

All four of us in the car said, that's not good.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Let him purr.

[Jay Schlatt]

But then we looked at it and then turned out to be fine.

[Ted Nivison]

No, there was nothing fine about that. Your wheel is grinding against the wheel well. Okay, that's going to be thousands of more dollars to fix if you want to put on coilovers.

[Jay Schlatt]

Dude, the car.

[Ted Nivison]

You can sell that car for, like, eight grand if you tried.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't want to go out on car talk. I want to embarrass myself.

[Jay Schlatt]

I couldn't sell it for eight grand.

[Connor Eats Pants]

My father will listen to me.

[Jay Schlatt]

Those Tacomas are going for, like. Like 10.

[Ted Nivison]

Dude, it's okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I can't do car talk anymore, guys. I'm calling it.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm sorry.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm throwing the flag.

[Ted Nivison]

We can end this.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I hate car. No, don't end it yet, okay? We can't end on car talk.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay.

[Ted Nivison]

Connor, have you seen another man's erect penis in real life?

[Connor Eats Pants]

Not a wreck. No.

[Ted Nivison]

No.

[Connor Eats Pants]

All right, well, great show, guys.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. Thanks for coming on, man.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah. No, Connor, it was really good to see.

[Ted Nivison]

Wait, what would you rather have? Unlimited bacon. But no more video games or games. Unlimited games but no games.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I don't fucking know.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay, thanks, guys.

[Jay Schlatt]

Wait, no.

[Ted Nivison]

Connor, what part of the sandwich are you. And what's your answer? The first one.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Ham, cheese.

[Jay Schlatt]

Ham, cheese.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm ham and cheese.

[Ted Nivison]

You can be the lunch.

[Jay Schlatt]

Lee.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I'm ham and cheese and there's mayonnaise on it. And it's two slabs of white bread.

[Jay Schlatt]

You're a full sandwich inside of the sandwich.

[Ted Nivison]

Inside the sandwich. You can do that. Kaisen at did that with his McDonald's meal. He put a chicken. He put a.

[Jay Schlatt]

On the fucking.

[Ted Nivison]

He put. He did. No, no, no. But in his McDonald meal, he put a chicken McSanwich in a big Mac.

[Jay Schlatt]

That's so stupid. Well, thanks for coming on.

[Ted Nivison]

Whoa. What is it gonna be? You taking the bacon or are you taking the games?

[Connor Eats Pants]

The games.

[Ted Nivison]

No, but there's no games. Would you rather have unlimited?

[Connor Eats Pants]

This question was always dumb.

[Ted Nivison]

Unlimited Conceptually stupid.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It was a stupid question conception of a watcher.

[Ted Nivison]

Dumb would hope you would appreciate it a little.

[Connor Eats Pants]

It was. I don't like it and I'm tired of it. I've had enough. Machinima's gone to answer the question though.

[Jay Schlatt]

There's only one person on this podcast never answered the question.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I answered it.

[Jay Schlatt]

Okay.

[Connor Eats Pants]

In the past. And I don't remember what my answer was.

[Ted Nivison]

Answer it again. Because you forgot.

[Connor Eats Pants]

I guess I would have the bacon because at least I get something.

[Jay Schlatt]

Yeah, fair enough.

[Ted Nivison]

You have to take the bacon.

[Jay Schlatt]

Thank you so much for Connor for coming on the pod.

[Connor Eats Pants]

Thank you guys.

[Jay Schlatt]

We will see you guys in the next episode.
