Zane
Get it, boy.
Heath
Get into it.
Zane
Push it into the gums. Wow. My man is on 18 milligrams.
Matt
All right, let's go.
Heath
You just spit it out or did you just put it in or do you just put it in your mouth for a little bit?
Matt
No, no, I'm done with it.
Heath
Okay.
Matt
My head looked bad in this.
Heath
Do you have a larger than normal head?
Matt
I would say I have a large than. Larger than normal normal head for sure.
Zane
Everybody else would say that too, about me.
Matt
Go yourself.
Heath
I guess I feel like I have an average head.
Matt
Like you have a pretty average head.
Heath
Well, I just bought a hat recently and it was a size xl.
Zane
What's your. What's your size? What's your hat size?
Heath
Who knows Hat sizes, like seven and a quarter.
Matt
Like normally hat sizes aren't on a site when you're buying them.
Heath
I guess I don't really hat.
Matt
Oh, that's how you know. Because cowboy hats will have the size.
Zane
On it or like even like the hats back in the day, like, used to be fitted. You remember, like lids, like.
Matt
Oh, yeah.
Heath
There wasn't a strap in the back.
Zane
Yes.
Matt
No, there would.
Heath
Yeah, I know.
Matt
But you really could be.
Heath
But then you look like Fred Durst when you had it around, like front, which was like. I mean. Yeah. It was a vibe, I guess. I never bought those.
Matt
I wish I could wear hats like that. Those are what dad hats, right?
Heath
Yeah, sure.
Matt
Dad hats.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
You want to see what it looks like on my head? I wish I could wear hats like that. Terrible. Look what this hat looks like on my head.
Mariah
Wow. You're a totally different person.
Matt
It's just awful.
Heath
Like a character in backyard baseball.
Matt
I know, I know. And then backwards hat. Don't even get me started. I looked better when I was like fatter. It just worked better. Like anyhow, it just worked better on me.
Zane
Just kind of went with the vibe.
Heath
Yeah, you made it work.
Zane
I want to see you in one of those. The. These. You know what I mean? The. This hat.
Heath
Okay. Yeah. Like a news.
Zane
There's no. There's no gap here. It just goes like from here to here. Like from. Oh.
Matt
So like a golf hat that. Yeah, it's a golf hat.
Zane
Zane, I want to see you in that so bad.
Matt
I. I don't look good in it. My dad. My dad used to wear those all the time because he, like, you know, my dad, he wants to look like he's from like France. So he'll wear it like the haha. Like he loves wearing it and it looks good on him, but it doesn't look good on me.
Zane
But that hat looks like the shape of your head.
Heath
So I feel.
Matt
Because it looks like the shape of my head does not mean it will look.
Zane
I feel like it's going to complement.
Matt
No, Heath, you'd be surprised. I'll look more like so my. Because my face goes like this. So with that hat, it'll just look like a croissant.
Zane
Yeah, it'll match with.
Matt
No, no, it would not match with it. It actually will accentuate my croissant.
Zane
No. Yeah. Maybe you'd end up looking like the guy from Courage, the Cowardly dog.
Matt
It's a mission. When I like to find a hat, you're right. I'll be at like a random gas station. I'll be like, oh my God. And I'll put on my head. It's like fits perfect and it's. There'll be like a two dollar hat and I don't care what it has on the front. It can say anything on the front.
Zane
Yeah, I'll buy it.
Matt
Because finding a hat that fits my head is rare.
Heath
It's like finding a goal the worst online. When you fall in love with like a vintage looking hat, you go, that looks sick. And then you put that on, you're like, no, damn it. Like, that ain't it.
Matt
And that's it. With anything, with any clothing, if there's something that's so sick you put it on, it just does not want to fit your body. Right.
Zane
If that's one thing about hats though, if it doesn't work one day, it will never work. It's not like a pair of pants. You're like, oh, if I lost like a couple more pounds, oh yeah, they'll fit me and I'll look good in it.
Heath
Yeah.
Zane
A hat, if it doesn't look good, it will never look good.
Heath
No, but true.
Zane
Just like that's it.
Matt
But he. Like I said, remember when we were talking about hats where a new hats never look good on me. I have to wear them out. You guys put them on the mannequin head to stretch them out. So now I only look for used hats, used vintage hats.
Zane
There's like certain clothing items that like I feel like people can tell if it's you or not you.
Matt
Yeah, I was, I was actually, I was talking to Danielle about this. It's funny the way we pack when we're leaving the country for the first time. For the first time, like imagine like you've never been out of the country and you're going to London, the way you'll, like, pack and dress. Peoats. These weird hats. You're completely unlike yourself. You try to never wear that. Your identity just, like, decides, oh, you.
Zane
Get to try out different styles.
Heath
Oh. Even when I'm, like, planning out what to wear at Coachella, I'm just like, o. I'm going to have a little bit of fun, a little bit of flair.
Matt
But then you get there and you're like, oh. Oh, this is weird. Everybody knows. Everybody can see through the. And now. So now whenever we try, like, we leave the country, I know in my head that I'm going to dress exactly the way I would dress in the house. Just be comfortable, because comfort is more important.
Heath
Preach. Should we run that intro?
Matt
No, let's keep going.
Zane
Baby.
Matt
Let's go. Welcome back to Zayn and Heath Unfiltered. I'm Zan.
Zane
I'm Heath.
Heath
I'm Matt.
Mariah
I'm Mariah.
Matt
And you are in for a ride. This episode's gonna be crazy. This is a crazy, crazy episode. You know why?
Heath
Tell. Tell them, Zane.
Matt
You know what?
Heath
Yeah, tell him.
Matt
Because this episode is just like every other episode this year. Just. Just a bunch of.
Zane
Just to be fair, Zane did walk in and go, I want to talk today.
Matt
I want to talk. Let's. Okay, all right. Let's play the game. Ring of fire, right? Yeah. First name that pops in your head. Go. First name, go.
Zane
Danielle.
Matt
Danielle. Perfect. Let's talk about Danielle.
Heath
The. The dndl or just any Danielle.
Matt
We know my roommate Danielle and my friend. Okay, what can we say about her? She.
Heath
It can only be bad things, right?
Matt
Only bad things. Only bad.
Heath
Damn. Damn. Because all I can say is just give her a good compliment. Her room looks really great.
Matt
It does look really nice.
Heath
She changed it up.
Matt
She used to be all, like, white gal, like, white carpet, white bed, white walls, and now it looks like a. I.
Heath
She has a very good color palette going on. Everything's very cohesive.
Matt
I would say it's a very bohemian.
Heath
Sure, sure. But not like, okay.
Matt
Bohemian'S so nice.
Heath
Oh, yeah.
Matt
I kind of want my house to be kind of, like, half bohemian, half, like, Persian.
Heath
Yeah, okay.
Matt
Just. Just a little. Little bit of Arab twist in it.
Zane
Arab boho. Okay.
Matt
Arab boho.
Zane
Yes, that would be nice.
Heath
April fools just happened yesterday. Did you guys get it fooled at all? Did anything get you throughout the day? Like, because, you know, on April Fool's Day, every brand wants to, you know, put out some quirky thing. So old stop in your place and be like, wait, what they're doing like a marshmallow pizza down at Pizza.
Matt
I've seen it all. There's literally no brand that can really get. And now I feel like they've been doing it now days, either before or after.
Zane
Yeah, that's not how it works. You can't do April Fools a week early.
Matt
The thing is that you can and you should, because everybody's expecting on April fool. So it's not fun. You know what I mean? If I was a brain, I'm doing it a week before. I'm gonna really get everybody.
Zane
The whole thing about April Fools is you get to play. Play this prank because it's a specific day.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
But it's not fun because it's a prank. And are pranks really that funny? No, they really aren't.
Matt
When did it stop being funny?
Heath
I don't.
Matt
I feel like pranks were like. Pranks stopped being funny maybe like 8.
Zane
Years ago with Fouseytube and Vitali and like, all of like the prank youtubers after Punked.
Mariah
When punked, that was once every little.
Heath
Teenager got a camera and realized he could upload it onto just YouTube and do his own little, like, prank video, like all the greats. Then it crossed the line. There's this one fucking kid on TikTok. I really wish I could say his fucking name, but I just.
Zane
Jack Doherty.
Heath
No, Jack dy. That. That kid's a little shit. But this kid, this is like another little in the making. He goes into, like, stores. Okay. It could be grocery stores.
Matt
I know. I know you sporting good stores.
Heath
And he'll go in an aisle that nobody else is there and scream bloody murder. Like. Like, help. O God, he's got me. Like, it is someone being beaten to death. And people will rush into his aisle. And he goes, where's that coming from? And then they start going around all the other aisles. He was like, well, I heard it over here. I heard it over here. Freaks people out. And just films the reactions. He'll then go in public, like a bunch of people in a nice, calm shopping center eating dinner outside on a patio. Sunday night families just.
Matt
I'm piece. I'm visualizing it. All right?
Heath
He'll just get out his phone and just fucking yell and curse, like bloody. On the phone to somebody.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Fucking cussing families. Just people trying to enjoy their fucking night.
Matt
But there's no. There's nothing to it. There's no like a.
Zane
It's a shock fact.
Matt
It's just shock.
Heath
Look at this kid's page. He's getting 12 million views. And listen, I'm not going to go hate on you because you're having success on the Internet. It's what you're doing where you're just genuinely disturbing the piece. And I also.
Matt
I also don't see, like, a number of views as success. Like, it depends on what. What you're with the. With those numbers, to me, because, I mean, any of us can, like, anybody can do that and get a ton of. Yeah.
Heath
I just don't want to seem like I'm just a hater.
Matt
No, because. No, they're causing. They're causing, like, havoc and like, while people are trying to live.
Heath
That's, like, that's sad because we live in such a time where there's, like, just shootings. People are also scared of shootings all the time. People run and scatter all the time. Because we live in this day and age. And if you're going to go somewhere and make people scared shitless for their own sense of safety. Sorry, you're a fudgeing dick.
Matt
That's true. That's.
Zane
Yeah, there's a few people, too. I don't like. There's this one person, I don't even remember their name, but they are in Home Depot and they just, like, mess with, like, elderly people. And I can't stand that.
Matt
They'll, like, example. What?
Zane
They'll, like, throw stuff, like dirt or mulch, like, up in the air or over, like, a shelf and, like, land on these old people. And then they're, like, looking up or they'll get, like, wet from something, like.
Matt
Oh, you're talking about the guy in the store. He'll, like, he'll just do this and then he'll.
Zane
Look, there's a few people that do it.
Matt
Yeah.
Zane
And I'm just like, you know where it started?
Matt
I feel like that whole trend started when that. Remember the kid with a milk gallon slamming would just slam it and then slip. I feel like that's really where it started because that was the first time I really saw, like, people acting up in grocery stores. The only one that I like in grocery stores that is so harmless and I love it so much is that guy that goes up to random people and he'll start conversations, acting like they know them or.
Heath
Yeah, don't act like, you know. You don't know me. Yeah, yeah. You don't remember. When do you remember? And they're like.
Matt
But it's like, very harmless and nice conversations, and it actually, like, makes their day, too. Yes, I like that.
Zane
Those are cute. But then there's also another person that'll go up and tell a joke that doesn't make any sense. And the other person will just, like, laugh out of, like, the awkwardness of, like.
Heath
Yes.
Matt
Just to make the guy that, like, he. He talks in gibberish or.
Zane
No, no, no. He'll just, like, go up and be like, hey, guys, that's good, too, that one.
Matt
Yeah, he's a good one, too.
Heath
Bassmaster.
Matt
Oh, is that him?
Mariah
That's harmless and funny. And he gets a really good reaction every time.
Heath
He be like, hot now with a compound puma. Shake it. A chase chicken. And they're like, huh? Bartle do. I'm sorry, what, sir? Bartle do. Do you know Bartle do, like, brilliant. I.
Matt
So good.
Zane
But what. So the guy, he'll just go up and, like, say this joke, and then people will, like, pity laugh and, like, just be like. He's like, you get it? And they're like, yeah, yeah, I get it. I get it. And he's like, explain it. And then they're like, oh, you see?
Matt
Now you cross the line you made. It goes from harmless.
Zane
But it's really funny to watch people then, like, who pity laughed that for something that didn't make sense. And then they're like, can you explain?
Heath
I scroll that video. I get.
Matt
I can't watch this. Can you watch, like, a cringe fest? I can either, like, kill Tony. I like, I'll sit there. I'm like, I can't. I can't. I just can't watch it. It's so.
Heath
Yeah. I have my boundaries of things.
Matt
Like, you know what it is, is this is. Do you think this has to do with. Because when. If we see a video of ourselves cringe, you, like, freak out. You're like. Or if something's cringy of you, you freak out so that you can't watch other people.
Mariah
I just think it's sympathy or it's just, like, bad.
Matt
Just feel bad.
Mariah
It's truly secondhand embarrassment.
Matt
Yeah, exactly.
Heath
For people. Because you have a heart and you don't want to people in a moment that you would not want to experience for yourself. So, yeah, you, like.
Matt
There's times where I feel like I feel like I could. If I was a genie, I would. The wishes I would grant are like, remove a video off the Internet and make everybody forget about this video of this person. Like, just to. Oh, like being embarrassed on the Internet. Like, that is so.
Heath
Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina. Let's vote. Just vote.
Mariah
Like ocean facts.
Matt
Who's fish girl?
Mariah
Oh, that's another line that she says.
Heath
Damn, I don't know. That's not part of my.
Mariah
Like, can I quiz you on ocean facts?
Heath
Oh, is that why she's called fish girl?
Mariah
Yeah.
Heath
Oh, I just know. Nina. Nina.
Mariah
I know I'm gonna be out, so just.
Matt
She's the. She's same one that does fish facts.
Mariah
Yeah.
Heath
Nina just.
Matt
Well, that's the thing with these jubilee videos. You know how reality TV shows like Netflix. Those Netflix shows, when they're doing. When they're looking at auditions, they're not looking at all funny people are all perfect people for. They're looking at people that, like, are bad. Like, bad on camera. Awkward.
Heath
Humiliate.
Matt
That will humiliate themselves. Exactly. I. There's something about that that's just so awful, too.
Zane
They knew there was going to be something that was.
Matt
Oh, people are going to make fun of her. We're going to have her on the video.
Heath
It's just. It's sad when, like, you could do one thing that makes you get off the Internet for years. Like, yeah, she's now back and is able to, like, laugh about it and stuff. But. Yeah. Or that guy who was like, I want to be the next SNL cast member. And he had that one big rap that he, like, was, like, trying to get on snl. Oh. Like, it just went viral. Everyone was like, buddy, this ain't it. And he, like. It's just. He's still, like, off the Internet, like, a little bit. It's kind of sad.
Matt
It's crazy.
Zane
It's hard to come back. Like, once you. Like, once you feel like that, you're so removed and done, and then to come back, you got to be like, I gotta do something unbelievable to make a return because people are gonna be okay.
Matt
It just. You just. You just got bullied from being cringy. That sucks. I'd rather be canceled.
Heath
I don't know.
Matt
Melting in my seat, thinking about cringe.
Heath
You kind of come back at icon.
Matt
Like, yes, but you have to, like, yeah, you have to make it work.
Heath
Is dust to dust. Like you. You rise back. It's like a phoenix. Like, you go so hard. It's like, ooh. But everyone's like, but where are they? Come back. We need an update. It's crazy. The Internet. We will revive the people that we were like, nah, pretty crazy.
Matt
Who's someone that, like, has been gone since. Of something really embarrassing that we all, like. I can't. Like. I know, I know. Like, years. Like, a few years ago, there was a lot of People like that want.
Heath
To go, instead of giving them a freaking packet, yo, you gotta be teaching them face to face.
Zane
People love him.
Heath
The future of this generation.
Matt
Or I think they liked him right now.
Heath
But where is that guy? Give him a show. I want to see him talk about more things because then for years no one could find him. And then sure enough, he's working on a construction site one day and he's yelling at one of his co workers and somebody catches him on video and they're like, that's the freaking packet, kid.
Matt
I wish there was, I wish there was a section on TikTok where you could click it. And the only videos up there are videos of people introducing themselves after like a really viral moment of that. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I've always, I always want to find people that have moments like that and I just want to go to the channel or watch a video of theirs to see like, because that guy is probably on Tik Tok. You just haven't even.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
Searching for it.

Heath
Do you think anybody has watched this podcast from prison?
Matt
I don't. You can't watch it from prison. Like on the underwear.
Heath
No, no.
Matt
I know if they sneak. If they like sneak in.
Heath
But you could be at like a very like, like high.
Zane
A lot of them get like iPads.
Heath
Yeah. You still get access.
Matt
So you do get access to WI fi.
Zane
Maybe it's like summer camp.
Matt
I didn't.
Heath
I thought that it was like you could play Club Penguin.
Matt
No, you can't play Club Penguin. But I didn't think you had access to like the Internet.
Heath
It's like school kinda like where it's.
Matt
Like very secured and protected.
Heath
Secure. You can search certain YouTube videos. I. I'm not saying, once again, all prisons, a lot of prisons are terrible. But I.
Zane
It was also like different intensities. Like.
Heath
Yes.
Zane
Between like jail and like prison.
Heath
It all depends on a certain type of situation. You're.
Matt
If you go to jail, what would you go to jail for?
Heath
Oh my gosh. What would I go to jail for? It would have to be a stupid crime. Probably insider trading. I bought something that.
Matt
Insider trading.
Heath
I bought something that somebody told me to buy.
Zane
Were you saying like that could happen, like, realistically or what I would want to go to jail for?
Matt
No, no, it's more like I just.
Heath
Took that as like my fit. Like it's.
Zane
It's what could be a possibility if.
Heath
I had to go to prison for something like that or it was something would be like out of protest. Like I snuck into Sea World to try to rescue the. Rescue Shamu.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Hell yeah. Lock me up for that.
Zane
Let's go.
Matt
So, Heath, I feel like since you like, you love like the Robin Hood, I feel like for you it's more like insider trading.
Zane
Yeah, I would probably. Something like that. I mean, I mean, if I got tipped off, I'm like that. That's what's.
Matt
I'd be way too. I still will never understand the fine line of that whole world. It makes no sense.
Zane
The whole thing is really silly. But if I was to go to jail for a crime. Street racing.
Heath
Oh, yeah. Just put a little too much. Too much metal to the pedal.
Zane
Yeah, that'd probably be like, a realistic. Like, I don't drive crazy anymore. But, like, I. When I was younger, I did, like, double the speed limit and got pulled over, and that was, like, really bad. Oh, you can go to jail. You can get your car impounded for doing, like, double the. What is it? I think it's, like, 30 miles an hour over the speed limit. You can technically go to jail for something.
Matt
Speeding is a good one. Drunk. Drunk. Indecent exposure. Yes, that's me. Indecent exposure.
Heath
So you did it to be silly, but you didn't realize a child was, like, behind you?
Matt
No, I don't think. Indecent exposure doesn't mean a child is around you.
Heath
Okay.
Matt
That's just in a public place.
Heath
So you were, like, what, doing something for the bit you want to take? You, like, mooning someone?
Matt
It's more like maybe we're at the beach and we're at a corner, and, like, we're not around a lot of people, and I get naked for a shot, and then my friends take my clothes from me and they run. So I have to run through a crowd, and I, like, would run through a crowd to get my clothes back. Like, I'm not gonna just sit there.
Heath
Got it.
Matt
So for me, it's that. That is a perfect crime that I think I would land myself in.
Heath
Have we talked about this before?
Matt
This is my first time.
Heath
No, no, no. Okay, my bad. I feel like. Never mind. Maybe I feel like I've heard you say that exact same thing.
Matt
Really?
Zane
Maybe.
Heath
Maybe I'm tripping.
Matt
We'll run it. Run it back. Yeah. Mariah, can you actually go through all the episodes and try to find them?
Mariah
I'm doing it as we start.
Heath
Beautiful. Speaking of cars, you talked about, you know, things going fast and stuff. I was, you know, getting kind of sucked into thinking about traffic jams and, like, what the worst traffic jams of all time are. It's pretty fucking.
Matt
What do you mean? Like, because of a long situation or so?
Heath
You know, it sucks when you're. Traffic jam. No one wants to be in a traffic jam for more than 20 minutes, for more than 30 minutes, for more than an hour. But I was so curious, like, globally, what has been the worst traffic jam that has ever happened?
Matt
And you mean, like, time length, where, like, people were stuck on the same highway, moving very Slow for an entire. Is that. Is that what you mean?
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
Okay.
Heath
Exactly. In that traffic jam. All right. Seeing how many people. The third one, I can't remember what the top third one was, but I know that it lasted. I think it was in France, and it was 109 miles long.
Matt
Okay.
Heath
That was, like, one of the longest one that these people were in the jam for was just straight up 109 miles. I think that was 109 miles, late 80s. Now, this one, I thought was really interesting. The second worst traffic jam of all time happened about 34 years ago, April 12th of 1990. Actually, 25 years ago, right after east and West Berlin were united, because you remember how, like. Yes, sorry, Germany used to be divided. Yes. The. The. The Berlin Wall or whatever. Anyways, all those people from one side of Germany went around Easter time, came, wanted to go to that side of Germany and to celebrate, and they've never been able to. And there were so many cars. Okay, guess this is the number of vehicles that were in this traffic jam. Around 18 million cars. No.
Matt
What?
Heath
18 billion cars in a traffic jam across from Germany. And it's crazy because that is New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Phoenix combined.
Mariah
How long were they stuck there?
Heath
Oh, for. I'm pretty sure, like, days. Days. Days.
Matt
That's the type of where you just, you know, you leave your car and you just start walking. I'm just surpr. Up.
Zane
You give up, and then you don't.
Matt
What a crazy situation where you leave your car. You're like, I will probably never see this car again. And that's fine.
Zane
What's really scary and kind of crazy to think about is that people probably did do that, but then once people do start to leave their car, it probably just stays a traffic jam because then, like, you want to go back and get it, but if other people didn't go back and get theirs, it's.
Heath
Kind of like, yeah, you.
Matt
You have to stay. You have to say your car, like.
Heath
Running out of gas as well, too. Navigate it all around.
Zane
That was the number two.
Heath
Number two. The worst. The worst happened in August of 2010.
Matt
Coachella 2017.
Heath
It happened in China. And I believe this had happened because they were doing some, like, road projects. They didn't expect all of these, like, coal truckers were going to come into this area as well. And there was a bunch of people, like, migrating for vacation, y'all. This lasted for 12 days.
Zane
Oh, well, I don't understand.
Matt
Cars not move. Like, just not moving at all.
Heath
Just some. They said they moved, like Half a mile a day.
Mariah
How long, how long will you wait before you're like, I gotta get out of this car. My. I, I'd be like, I gotta stand still.
Heath
People have like 20 minutes.
Matt
You just get out of your car.
Heath
Not having taken a shower in like 12 days. Days sleeping, not eating or drinking.
Zane
You're stuck.
Heath
Eventually people did realize people need to eat. And trust me, people were going around selling food and stuff. Wait, that turned into like a whole marketplace because people were just, what do you want? How long? I understand, I understand. But hey, we're gonna.
Matt
And you know, you're getting a hundred percent of the people. Like, everybody needs to eat.
Heath
So you are out there like, yeah, sorry, I just said traffic. I promise I'll be in tomorrow. Like, you didn't show up to work for 12 days cuz you were stuck.
Matt
And you can't even. When Was this?
Heath
Like 2010, 20.
Matt
I'm surprised I didn't hear about this.
Heath
I know that sounds like something that would have happened like in the beginning of cars and roads. Exactly.
Mariah
Imagine being in an rv. The looks you would be getting, people.
Zane
Would be coming over.
Heath
It's like shaky, like honey, one at a time.
Matt
I'd be charging $100 on the door.
Zane
You want to sleep tonight?
Matt
You want to sleep?
Zane
Turn it into like a little Airbnb out there on the road.
Matt
Yeah, because you'll get 12 days, 12 nights. It's really good.
Zane
Crazy.
Matt
I love that.
Zane
That's really hard to wrap my head around.
Mariah
It could be really fun if you were like texting your friends. Is anybody in this traffic jam right now? And you try to find them. Like, yeah, kind of fun.
Matt
And you. Yeah, third row up by that. Do you see the signs, like, looking for your friends at a festival?
Zane
I really, I don't know how long I could go. Like, like you were saying, like, what's the amount of time at a standstill for me to like really start freaking out? If I didn't move an inch in an hour, I think I'd start really?
Heath
I don't think I've ever gotten out of my car in a traffic jam. I think I've been in somewhere. I've seen people like get out and walk around. Yeah, I've never like, gotten out and like, hey, so what, what have you heard from up, up the road where.
Zane
People, people get out, start standing on top of the car to like see a little bit further.
Matt
If this happened here, like, imagine on an, on a highway here where you couldn't even get off. Like it was just like jam packed like this. So many people would take advantage of this moment and go and just start like doing stand up shows, performing singers coming out.
Zane
Okay Lala.
Matt
No Brian coming out, putting up a desk like all right guys doing a live show.
Zane
People on top of the bridge that goes over the highway like you normally.
Matt
Where people are protesting another day like.
Mariah
Skate skateboarders hopping over.
Matt
Yeah. Oh my. That would actually be so fun. I probably wouldn't actually wouldn't want the traffic jam to stop.
Heath
Come on everybody.
Matt
Damn traffic. That's like now that sounded like hell but now it sounds fun.

Heath
Did you see they Dropped the Nintendo Switch to.
Matt
Wait, the.
Heath
The new Nintendo Switch.
Matt
They never had, or they've always had just one Nintendo Switch.
Heath
Like, the first they had Nintendo Switch, and then Nintendo Switch oled, which was, like, a better screen and stuff. And this whole time, they've been working on the new Nintendo Switch, and It's Nintendo Switch 2.
Matt
All right. And I'm guessing the game. What games are on the big one.
Heath
About this one that you can't get on the normal Nintendo Switch. The big one is Mario Kart World. The new.
Matt
They have that on there saying the.
Heath
New Mario Kart kind of looks insane.
Matt
I bet it does.
Zane
Is this. This console or handheld is also a console. Right. Like, you can plug that in and play it from your TV portable version.
Heath
And you put it on a dock that goes up to your TV as well.
Zane
Docking station. That's really sick.
Heath
You can take it on the go.
Zane
Like, if I was a kid today, that would be unbelievable.
Heath
And what's great, too, it turns into two remotes. So then you have the screen, and then you get to play it with somebody. I own one. I wish I played it a little bit more, but Mario World looks just like. Or Mario Kart. Did I say Mario Kart World?
Matt
You said Mario. You said Mario World.
Heath
Oh, my God.
Zane
I think you said Mario Kart World.
Matt
Look right there.
Heath
Or did I just go Mario World?
Matt
It's fine. You're good, man. You're not gonna get canceled.
Heath
I know, but it looks pretty insane. I also heard it's like open world, too. So, like, after you finish a race, you have to, like, drive to the other. To the new race. You know what?
Matt
I love that.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
Because that's. It's real life. You're driving to the next. You're not just gonna teleport there. You know what I mean?
Heath
Which character. When you guys play Mario Kart, which character do you pick?
Matt
I pick. I either pick Donkey Kong, or I pick the. There is a. Or the little green dinosaur.
Mariah
I was Yoshi.
Matt
Either Yoshi or. Or the gorilla.
Heath
Okay. Donkey Kong. All right.
Matt
Because I loved. I love Donkey Kong.
Heath
I always picked Toad because I always thought Toad, since he's smaller, the car's gonna go. Go faster, which was like, it.
Matt
Was that true?
Heath
No, that the Mario Kart stages that game where they always make, like, combinations. Feeling like you're elevating up with the game itself has so much chance, where. With the power ups, with the secret passages, with everyone else getting, you know, shelled out from the top.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
If. As long as you. I think Know how to navigate a vehicle proper properly, Your odds of, like winning go higher.
Matt
Yeah. I think if you're a good player, you can play with any person. Like, you just have to know, like the.
Heath
But I always love. Yeah. When you got that red. When you got that red shell, you knew that it was automatically gonna hit somebody.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Or when you got that lightning bolt and you turn everybody itty bitty and you just zipped on by. Good.
Matt
I wanna, I want to show you guys the. What I got from it, like, popped up in my feed and I like thought it was. I thought it was like fake. You guys remember the Game Boy, right?
Heath
Yeah, of course.
Matt
They came out with something. Where is my receipt?
Zane
Also, can you believe how expensive video games are now?
Heath
Well, you know how much they're charging?
Zane
People are out.
Heath
Mario Kart World. Do you know how much?
Zane
$90.
Heath
90 buck.
Matt
That's crazy. But you know what they are. I feel like they're spending a lot of time making those games. I feel like it takes forever.
Zane
Crazy. And also, you don't get like physical games anymore.
Heath
Right.
Zane
I mean, it's really annoying because you used to be able to buy a video game and then you could sell your game to GameStop.
Heath
Yes.
Zane
And you had some sort of equity and something that you purchased. You had.
Heath
Yes, yes.
Zane
Now you download a game, you can't uninstall it and get money back.
Heath
No, no. That's the big.
Zane
So messed up.
Heath
It's the big catch about it. Like, so that's people who want physical media over buying media. And still technically you do not own the hard file of that digital game as well. You have it downloaded, but it doesn't mean that like you have it. They can't pull it in the future.
Matt
Exactly.
Zane
Which is so weird. Have it anymore. It's gone.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
It should be cheaper because you're almost like technically renting it until you're done.
Heath
Yeah.
Zane
You're leasing.
Matt
You're leasing the game to have it on your. So it never made sense to go to GameStop and buy a game and.
Heath
Never mean that you were going to resell it like that.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
So you still get your money back at least a little bit when you buy a physical game.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
For my Nintendo Switch, in the beginning, I was buying physical games because I'm like, well, if I know if I'm only gonna play this a bit, I'll sell it, which I have done. And I don't know if I buy a game if I'm really gonna like it. And that's the Thing is, you can't like, return a game that you don't like. Yeah, but they don't make every game that you want to play on physical media. And sometimes the physical media ones cost even more than the digital game.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
So it's like, oh, God. Okay, so this physical one's $40, but I can spend $50 and I can spend 30 bucks just to get it digitally. Right now I don't have to go to the store. I don't have to wait for ebay to send it to me. So then you just.
Matt
I feel like realistically, most people, when they finish the game, they're not going back to it unless they're going back to it like six years later. But at that point, yeah, you're just like, I'll spend it again and play it again. Like. Like I do.
Heath
What.
Matt
What was the price difference between buying a game and renting a game at GameStop? Normally it wasn't. It wasn't half the price.
Heath
Right.
Matt
It was a little bit more.
Zane
Go to. You go to Blockbuster and write your. Your video game.
Matt
No. No. GameStop.
Heath
No.
Zane
Jordan, you.
Heath
I was just.
Matt
You could rent from GameStop. Jordan.
Zane
To work at GameStop.
Matt
You can't rent games at GameStop, Zane. You can't.
Zane
Blockbuster games.
Heath
Yeah, boy.
Matt
I. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna die right now. Cuz there's. I. There's no way.
Heath
Stay with us.
Matt
I. I was not. Me and my brother were not renting games from Blockbuster.
Heath
Going and buying used games. And you thought those were rental.
Zane
Yes.
Matt
Maybe it was used games. Maybe it was used.
Heath
Used games were like, not as cool.
Matt
They.
Heath
Sometimes they didn't have.
Matt
I remember the yellow tag. So in my head, the yellow tag was discount rentals.
Heath
Yeah. Yeah.
Mariah
There's also other places like we went to Blockbuster, but the one closest to us was called 48 hours.
Zane
Okay.
Mariah
So my brothers would rent their games from there and so they could have been under a different.
Matt
Like, God. Okay. Wow. That's. I cannot believe you didn't rent from GameStop.
Heath
Also, back then they had Game Fly.
Zane
Which was the one that they mailed you the games.
Matt
Yes.
Heath
Yes.
Matt
Okay. Wow. Thank you, Jordan.
Heath
Here, Jordan.
Mariah
Have a seat.
Zane
This episode of Unfiltered is brought to you by booking.com booking. Yeah.
Jordan
Every time we use booking.com to find a place to stay in the US we know they'll have exactly what we are looking for.
Zane
And they have a huge variety of options from hotels to vacation rentals. And we know we can find exactly what we're looking for. And we found that booking.com has something for everyone.
Jordan
Exactly. Heath and I are going to Miami in a few weeks and we know that booking.com came in for the rescue when we were trying to find where to stay because we wanted to be by the race, obviously.
Zane
Absolutely. And we wanted to know that our hotel has a gym and a sauna and a pool. Absolutely everything. And you can find all of that information on booking.com.
Jordan
So, yeah, no matter who you are, booking.com helps you find this stay. That's ridiculously right for you. Find exactly what you're booking for on booking dot com. Booking.
Zane
Yeah.
Matt
But Mariah, look at that as 20,000 games on it that we all used to play on PlayStation games.
Heath
You pull them up, though.
Matt
I know, I know. There's gonna only be five games that are.
Heath
No, no, not as many as you. You want. A lot of them are bullshit. But right when you start playing it, you're like, this does not hit.
Zane
Wait.
Heath
It made me happy for like 30 minutes. And then I. I never picked.
Matt
You're lying. This right here, I remember this.
Heath
Yeah. I have the Amber Nick one. That's the same thing that has 20,000 games. But I just. I find myself not playing it. And then when you start playing those games for PS2, you're like, these aren't even, like, it's cool of a game. You don't remember. They're just making you do a bunch of like. Like boring.
Matt
I like nostalgia. I like. I like playing.
Heath
Yeah, like 100 bucks. Buy it. But I tell you, it. The. The memory of playing them is better than, like, replaying it sometimes.
Matt
That's.
Heath
Unless they can remake the games that we loved.
Zane
High.
Matt
Definitely do that, right?
Heath
They should. But those are the games, though. I'm like, bring back Banjo Kazooie. But make it like, just to the graphics we have today.
Matt
So the graphics are from back then.
Heath
And I'm just saying, dude, you're gonna.
Matt
Be like, oh, God. He thought, what sold me. They showed one of the games. One of the games were Crash Bandicoot.
Zane
That's.
Matt
That's what sold me.
Zane
Play the real one.
Mariah
Yeah, you got to play it on the PlayStation.
Heath
But it is.
Matt
It was the real one. Did I just get scammed?
Zane
No, I. I know people that have these and they're fun. It's a nostalgia type thing.
Matt
You should have seen the way I was acting when I bought. I was like, I bet nobody knows about this. This is crazy. I can't wait to tell them that I got this it's cool.
Zane
But also I, I heard something. They're like, illegal, right?
Heath
Kinda. Yes, kinda. But they're not doing a good job at stopping them.
Matt
They aren't at all. Look at this beautiful sight.
Heath
But it's the way that Morpheus was illegal. Like, and so I'm guessing, Sir, I'm.
Matt
Guessing 50% off is not really a discount, right? Like, it's not actually $200.
Heath
Nobody is going to put you in jail because you have one of these.
Zane
But that's actually still like 100 bucks for the device.
Heath
Pretty good.
Zane
All those games.
Matt
How much was a Game Boy when we were kids? Like when our parents bought us Game Boys.
Zane
Oh, I never got one. I don't know.
Heath
They were about like never. They were about like in today's inflation, like about like 150, 200 bucks.
Zane
Wow.
Matt
Really good.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
Damn.
Heath
Which, I mean, like it was affordable, but like it was a big purchase.
Matt
It was. I remember getting it.
Heath
We're like responsible for this. Like. Yeah. You lose this. Wow. That's on you.
Matt
I. I lost it once and my mom was not happy.
Zane
Do. Do $90 in 1990.
Heath
218 bucks.
Matt
Wow.
Heath
So. Yep.
Zane
No wonder my parents didn't get it.
Matt
That is a big purchase.
Heath
Mom, please, please. If you buy me this, you won't have to buy me anything.
Matt
Never ask.
Heath
Ask for anything.
Matt
And it would be the stupidest gifts too.
Heath
God. I had the purple see through one. That was my Game Boy color.
Matt
Me too. That's why I got the purple see through one.
Mariah
My brother had the purple Jordy, you too. And I had the lime green. The solid one.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
What was it about the purple that like we enjoyed so much?
Heath
My brother had a solid purple too. Like, but we were totally fine. Yeah. Girl colors.
Matt
We were like.
Heath
This is.
Matt
My brother had the, the, the flat teal.
Zane
Okay one.
Matt
You know the teal one. Yeah.
Heath
Who can't.
Matt
Why do they come up with those colors?
Zane
Well, there's something about like the clear in the 90s that was so special.
Heath
Yeah, they were dope, man. They were really dope.
Matt
I hated the flip ones. It like lost it for me. And when they made the flow was like, oh, that's oh.
Heath
Big thing about Nintendo Switch 2. You can play Gamecube games on it or that they like Library on it. So GameCube though, that was like, like I never got into it. It was 64, then PS2.
Matt
My friend. My friends always had it. I never had one, but I love playing my friends as games.
Heath
Yeah, Gamecube. It was like always when I was at McDonald's, I don't know what. McDonald's always had Gamecubes inside McDonald's.
Matt
Where. Wait, where they.
Heath
And the play. In the play areas, there was always like, am I wrong?
Zane
Am I wrong?
Heath
I always.
Matt
You got to play it.
Heath
GameCube pen in McDonald's.
Zane
I don't remember this.
Heath
GameCube McDonald's. Yes, dude. Oh, my God. Do you remember? Do you remember?
Matt
No, I do not, but I cannot believe that. That.
Zane
No, I don't remember that.
Matt
You don't remember that? Yeah. That was crazy.
Heath
Yeah, we would just. They would have it at McDonald's with your nasty ass. Those were slippery.
Matt
They didn't even clean the. Didn't even clean it.
Heath
Man, what a tie.
Matt
You've never seen those at McDonald's.
Heath
Yeah, but you would go, wow. To Walmart and you'd be waiting in line. Yes. You're not back. I didn't even know your neck could fold back.
Matt
That you just bring the kids to, like, to Best Buy to play some games just to get their fix.
Zane
That's really weird. I don't remember that.
Matt
They would always have those in. What are those stores that would have those just, like, sitting out where you can walk in, you play some games, and then you leave.
Heath
Well, like a game cafe.
Matt
They hatched it, like, it was, like, really popular in an arcade in, like, malls. It wasn't an arcade. It wasn't. It was. They would have it in, like, malls.
Heath
And we go to, like, kids cuts and we could play kids cuts while we get our hair cut. That was pretty fun.
Matt
I. I just saw a pod, like a sports podcast promoting, like, Great Clips. And, like, people still go to Great Clips. Like those super coupley. The people still go. They'll Your hair up.
Heath
It depends on what you want.
Matt
They. They don't cut hair good.
Heath
I used to go. I definitely went to Great Clips.
Matt
That's really. Kids.
Zane
My dad go to Great Clips.
Matt
He goes there now.
Heath
Coveted time, too. Great Clips. I mean, for, like, girls, I feel like that's, like, a tough thing. Like, you gotta be like, this is what I want. Yeah. I think women's hair is, like, pretty basic.
Zane
And then you don't get it. Whatever you show. You can show them anything you want. You ain't gonna.
Matt
You're not gonna get it.
Heath
What would happen if, like, Alex Earl just.
Zane
Can I do this?
Heath
Getting my haircut. Great Clips. And they just slay like. Like, they do bring about amazing job at Great Clips. And it's like everyone's like, oh, my gosh. You gotta go to great clips. Like, I feel the silliest when I'm just, like, getting my haircut, though. And you're, like, looking at yourself in the mirror.
Matt
I. Yeah.
Heath
Does it look good? Yeah. Yeah.
Zane
Matt, this one.
Heath
Oh, yes. Would they pull that mirror and they go, how's that back look? Oh, yeah, it looks great.
Zane
And you can never figure out how to get the right angle. You, like, bend it the wrong way. You're, like, trying to.
Heath
Yeah. And you catch yourself in that angle, that mirror, you're like, I don't know.
Matt
You know what?
Heath
At all?
Matt
Every time I see the back, I was like, I don't like it. I'm just like, it looks good and it's not their fault.
Heath
You walk out. You walk out. Yeah. You're shaking it up. You're looking at yourself in, like, the window of your car going, yeah, you.
Matt
Know what you don't like? And they're just like, do you want me to gel it and style it for you? You're just like, okay, I'm good.
Heath
Yeah.
Zane
Okay.
Heath
You go in your car and you look at the. How you go home, like, how could I grow hair faster?
Matt
Yeah. What's your rubbing Scalp. I'm gonna. What is that called? The. The. That you rub in your hair to make. It's like, almost like a Rogaine.
Heath
Minoxyl.
Matt
Minox. Yeah. I'm gonna. I'm gonna literally just get it and just start rubbing that in my head.
Heath
Yeah. But it will make, like, your scalp really flaky. It did for mine.
Matt
Yes. But it'll also. You'll also start losing hairs, but it'll grow. Then the new ones will grow.
Heath
A rebirth.
Matt
A rebirth with. Exactly.
Heath
But I. I'm fascinated, though, about how people who cut hair just make it happen and they go from one head to another doing a whole different look.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Hair, though, sounds. It's so complicated. You're dealing with all these different types of hairs coming at different angles outside of the head.
Matt
But it also sounds certain types of shape. You know what I mean? Like, not. Not to me, but I feel like.
Heath
To like cosmetologists, though. I don't know. It's so much trial and error and to be good at it.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
And also how there's people who give thousand dollar haircuts where I'm like, huh?
Matt
With thousand dollar haircut, you know, like.
Heath
Chris McMillan who do like. Like the people in Beverly Hills who do, like, if you're getting your hair.
Zane
Like, colored and they just charge it for the sake of charging it, like, if you're like a. If you become a celebrity haircut person.
Matt
Like you, they'll charge that much.
Zane
They'll come to you. It'll be like, oh, yeah.
Matt
I mean, I guess there's multiple, like, layers to it. Where they have to. You. They got to come to you. They got to bring all their. And then they have to. They're coloring your hair then. Then all the time it takes for them to sit that color in your hair and then they cut it. Yeah, I know.
Heath
And they're like, what do you want? They got to trust and they got to execute your. Execute your vision. I'm such a people pleaser. If I was cutting hair, I'd be like, do you hate it? Like, you could be totally honest. Totally.
Matt
If you hate it, here's the scissors you could just cut if you want. Get back at me. My, my. The guy that does my hair, he. He told me that he'll get flown out to do someone's hair like, like before an event.
Heath
Wow.
Matt
I mean, you'll pay for him. First class everything to fly there to color their hair and to fly him back. And they pay. They pay for everything. His whole travel.
Heath
Brilliant.
Matt
Isn't that insane?
Heath
It's a good gig to then have, like, if. Or yeah, you get. You strike lucky with someone who just like, I need them. They're the only person could cut my hair. None of you guys are coming near me with scissors.
Matt
You know what? I would. You know what? If I was getting flown out like that, I would probably charge a thousand dollars a cut. It'd be like, I'm sorry, I can make that tomorrow.
Zane
Do you want your haircut or not? And then that's it.
Matt
I'm the only one that's available right now.
Heath
So if I spend a thousand dollar cut and no one gave me a compliment.
Matt
I'd get a thousand dollar haircut and put a hat right on. After.
Heath
I'd be like, act like a L'Oreal shampoo commercial. Just like.
Zane
Before we continue, we want to give a big thank you to our next sponsor of this podcast, Rocket Money.

Mariah
This could just be me. Anxiety. You guys are going to roll your eyes, but this is not just with the haircut. But I thought of it today because I did get my hair cut. Notice I noticed.
Heath
Always been looking great. I don't know.
Mariah
But I went to a new place today. And even any other cosmetic stuff, if I'm getting a facial, if I'm doing my nails, like anything, I don't really have a go to person because if there is like a conversation I had with a hairdresser that I like don't want to revisit or. Or like I told them something that like I ended up not doing. I'll just pick a new place because.
Zane
They'Re gonna follow up and ask about it.
Heath
Yeah.
Mariah
So like just pick a new spot. If I don't like if. Because they're very personable.
Heath
Like they. And there's a therapist. You. You.
Mariah
Right.
Heath
You let your inhibitions down. Yeah. And Let them in your world.
Mariah
Yes. You open up, you're vulnerable.
Zane
Think if I got a knife right next to your head.
Matt
That's true. Yeah. There's this you don't piss them off of like.
Mariah
But if I'm, if I'm thinking about a conversation we had and I'm like, oh, I don't want her to ask me about that. Let me just pick a new spot.
Zane
See ya.
Matt
I've been going, I've been going to the same place for the past like five years. The place I go to now, I've been through four different people in the same spot. And whenever I change people, I'll come in for the person and then they'll see me from the other side. I'll go, hi. And they're like, hey.
Zane
And that's the people.
Matt
Or I've done it four times in the past five years.
Zane
You chose a different person.
Mariah
Wait, that's bad.
Matt
Yeah, it looks bad.
Heath
In terms, I would be so curious for our hairstylists out there, would that piss you off?
Matt
It does piss people. It does piss some stylists off because I think it happened to Todd at the same place he sw. Because. And it's not because we don't like the person anymore. We found someone better. So. And the reason why I, I would find someone better is that I would need a last minute haircut and that person wasn't available. So I'll just go to a new person and I would get the cut with a new person and I realized, oh, wow, you liked it better.
Zane
So.
Matt
And then, and then I would just move on to that new person.
Zane
Yeah. That makes.
Matt
Is it shitty? Yes. But I can't help it. They come, they just cut my hair better. So I just got to go to them and.
Heath
It'S just so like. But you know, but you know what.
Matt
I would do as like a. You know what I'll do as a hair.
Zane
I was never go back if I.
Matt
Was, if I was a hairstylist and I knew that a very loyal client is going to someone else for one day in my spot.
Zane
Fuck it up. You better not do a good job. I would tell them or either tell.
Matt
Them or I would just be like, come to my house. Like, I would just make it work. I'd be like, I'd be too scared to.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
To let him go just in case.
Zane
But then there's probably beef between the two workers now because I don't think it's ever beef.
Matt
I think it's more you like they're, they're like Damn. Or I think it's more. They'll think about it like, damn, did I up their hair last time?
Zane
Oh, so.
Matt
But I also don't want that conversation.
Zane
I'd be like, oh, so you cut Zayn's hair now?
Heath
You would say that. No, I'd be like, they're like, yeah.
Zane
How's Zane doing? Yeah, he was coming to me for like two years. You cut him now?
Heath
Just sharpening. They're like their blades just like.
Matt
Yeah, like I, I feel bad, but I don't know.
Heath
We're all.
Matt
I say hi to everybody. So where did I have a homie hopper in that place? Everybody has ran through me.
Heath
Does the hair at hair salons when they throw it all away, they donate it. They do all the hair on the floor.
Matt
I'm kidding. No, no, they don't donate.
Heath
I think throw it away.
Matt
I think long hair. I think. I don't know how it is with girl. If they cut a lot of hair, is there the conversation.
Zane
You'd have to do it.
Mariah
You go in and you say, I would like to donate my hair. So they put it n a ponytail. They make sure it's perfect.
Heath
I just always wonder if like people like some are going through the garbage on like human hair.
Matt
It could be. But I also see human hair being collected is going. I feel like human hair could be collected and like, I don't know.
Heath
Yeah, repurposed.
Matt
Yeah, repurposed for cuz it is like a. I mean wigs are expensive.
Heath
I don't.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Even if it was like made for some microfiber cloths or something. That is something.
Matt
Oh, imagine making a blanket out of human hair and you just like. Yeah. The smell of like a bunch of human hair all together, it seems like a sweet deal.
Heath
But then I don't know if it's like fully hygienic for people to like go collect lights. But like that's why when you do.
Mariah
Donate your hair, you have to. It can never be dyed.
Matt
Yeah.
Mariah
Like you can't. It has to be your natural locks for love. Yeah.
Zane
I don't know why my entire Tick Tock feed it is like cars and then haircuts on the street of India.
Matt
Oh, you do that. You have that on your feed now and you get, you go, you go in phases with your.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
You know right now, right now my head is just fights.
Heath
You crossed the line with one you sent me recently, though. I did not like it.
Matt
Which one? Did you know which one was it?
Heath
Little girl getting struck by lightning? No.
Matt
Okay, look, I did not send it to you as a funny clip. I sent it, Matt.
Heath
But it was so funny. Either you were not saying it. It was funny, but the caption was like, haha. Like, it was like, that wasn't.
Matt
Yeah, I didn't write the caption.
Heath
What do you want a friend before.
Matt
You says, oh, because I send you funny stuff all the time. Do you want me to send you something when it's like, not funny? Be like, hey, this isn't funny.
Zane
This is crazy.
Heath
Dying. I do like a little, like, heads up.
Matt
So it's like a trigger warning.
Heath
Yes. Like almost hit by something.
Matt
Yes.
Heath
I'm like, whoa, hold on. Okay, so.
Matt
So like for me and Heath, we send each other, like, as soon as we watch it, we'll know if it's funny or if it's like, this is crazy. So it's normally either something, holy, this is crazy, or this is really funny. The girl getting struck by lightning was obviously not funny.
Heath
But if it's happening from far away, I can kind of deal with those. Because you notice watch a plane crash from far away. Yeah, I can know that. Like, oh, that many people died, but it's from far away.
Matt
Died.
Heath
But like, I can't watch like something up close.
Matt
Did you like, did you see what the situation was?
Heath
How like that was like fireworks, wasn't it?
Matt
No, the. No, the girl that. So it was like they were all just hanging out. Like the whole family was in the, like the top apartment. And she. She has like. I think she has like a little kid, like fishing pole.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
So she goes out to the, to the, to the porch and she does this. But there's a line right there, like a, like an electrical line. And she rings it and like, the way it. You see the connection, like, with this. It was such a crazy.
Zane
She got electrocuted or she got struck by light.
Matt
She got it. She got zapped. Just.
Zane
She got electrocuted.
Matt
Yeah. But it was like. It was a crazy video though. Like, it was crazy and I hope she obviously.
Heath
But it's like, it's those stuff I can't watch.
Matt
Yeah. And you have to think about it too. That family was recording that. Like, it was like a camera in their house. They posted it. You know what I mean?
Heath
True. So they posted because of like, for court and then that.
Matt
The court.
Heath
The press picks it up because it happened. I don't think they're like, look what happened to our daughter.
Matt
You think, you think it goes.
Heath
A lot of those scary, like, accidents and stuff are because, like, press covered it and like illegally something happened.
Matt
I don't think that's not right for like, that type of video. If they sent it privately to like.
Heath
A look like it was a different country. Like, I'll say that too. Maybe I'm.
Matt
I think because the. Because I feel like in. In America it's very popular to have like a webcam in your house.
Heath
True.
Matt
You know what I mean? That's your thoughts on that.
Heath
What I. I don't understand people who.
Zane
Have webcam set up but webcam, but like security cam.
Matt
Oh, I get it. Yeah. My mom and my mom had it.
Heath
What's. Yeah, just in case the benefit. Besides intruders.
Matt
It's. It's only for intruders.
Heath
Then I would have it set up for like, hourly where when we go to bed, the cameras turn on or when we know when. And they do that smart device knows that. Like, but I don't need them to be the cameras filming me and my family every day.
Matt
Yeah, well, no, it's not. So it's not an apartment complex that does it. You do it. So it's for your house. You get the camera. You set it up for your own.
Zane
But if you have cameras all around the house exterior, would you need interior.
Heath
Dude, then it sounds like black fucking mirror. It feels really to know what like, say if we're in my house and Zane's like, hey, I got to go take a phone call. And he goes somewhere in the house to take a phone call. It is none of my business to what Zayn is saying in my house in another room. But if I have security cameras all around down, I can do it. That for me crosses a line.
Matt
It's again, it's only for like. Remember the time the guy, like, came into our house while we were all sleeping?
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
I would have loved for a camera to be in the house because once he's inside the house, it was. I couldn't. It was. That was it. Like, you have no idea what happened. Anything. He could have done something really weird and we would have never known about it. So that's the only time where you'd want like a camera in the house.
Heath
But.
Matt
Yes, I wouldn't want access to. I wouldn't be sitting there looking at people like. Like, and they're, you know, just being nosy. But I get it.
Zane
The only. We have that one camera in the house. But it's for Dean that you could drive it around.
Heath
Oh, that's cute.
Matt
Or you can feed it.
Zane
It's really cute.
Mariah
But, like, if we're sitting here right.
Zane
Now, but we could fire it up.
Mariah
Go on my app and turn it on and just like play with him for a little bit so he can like run around and then put it back and then park it.
Zane
It's really cute. But yeah, I don't know. I don't think I could ever have just like a home security cam, like up in the corner. Just like feels funny.
Mariah
Yeah, I don't think that's very necessary.
Matt
I would like in my head, I always think, oh, someone's like watching this or someone can watch somebody.
Heath
First instinct. But this sounds like I'm a person who would want to stage like a lawsuit on something. But you have eyeballs on everything, like going wrong in your house. So like if a toy, I don't know if something like malfunctioned that was in your home, you have legal proof. Like, look. Yeah, this screen just exploded out of nowhere. Or like these glass shattered or. Yeah, this was a faulty toy that my children was playing with and it strangled.
Matt
Yeah, the pros are. The pros are there and they're good.
Heath
Yes. But the cons are also like, I would have it. But like, I'm like, thank gosh, they got that on tape.
Matt
Exactly.
Mariah
It's like those rare moments that they do come in handy, but. But 90 of the time, I don't think it's necessary.
Matt
Exactly. Yeah, you're right.
Mariah
We had one on Staten Island. It was just in the basement because that's where we spent all of our time. And we were really little.
Matt
Oh, yeah.
Mariah
So we had it in the basement. And then my parents had a little screen in the kitchen when they were like cooking just to watch.
Matt
Looking back, like a baby monitor too. It's like.
Mariah
Yeah, it's like a baby monitor.
Zane
My parents had a home security in the house when I was a kid and I didn't know about it. I am so screwed. So the pillow.
Matt
The pillow. Mtv, everything.
Heath
I bet kids, everything. Cannot freak out at all anymore. Unless kids are.
Zane
No, I'm talking about just like being a weird 10 year old boy.
Matt
Yeah, yeah. There's some things as a parent you just like don't need to see of.
Zane
If my mom had a camera and she was like, let's go check in on Heath, see how he's doing today. And she's at work.
Matt
I think a lot of parents, they know they'll catch some weird. If I think for their own, like mental. They're just like, I don't need to see it.
Zane
Never.
Matt
There's some things that we just can.
Zane
You know, it's you know, it's going on.
Matt
You know that. You know, and that's fine. You know, privacy, like, just let them.
Heath
Do you think it's rude, then? If you went over to, like, someone's house and they had cameras, like, in every room, I would.
Matt
I would feel weird.
Heath
I would just go, hey, can we just turn those off? My house.
Matt
I wouldn't. I wouldn't, wouldn't. I wouldn't ask.
Mariah
I just.
Matt
Watch yourself.
Mariah
You're only there for a few hours, so it's like.
Matt
And also, like, you know, just be aware.
Mariah
Yeah.
Heath
Yeah, I guess so.
Matt
I'm always aware.
Zane
Yeah. Go up to him and be like, what are you looking at, weirdo? Why are you watching this back?
Matt
Yeah. Like, David, he has cameras all inside the house.
Zane
Huh.
Matt
And I think it's because he has, like, art, and he probably, like, doesn't. But, like, I. Every time in there, I know, like, my brain immediately turns. I'm being recorded, or I. I'm being seen right now. So just some.
Heath
Oh, my.
Matt
But it's funny. My mom. My mom had a. The webcam my mom had. Because my stepdad installed it once they separated, I think it was like a month later, my. My mom realized it and she goes, I should probably turn that off because my stepdad had acts. I'm not saying he was like. That was like a funny little moment where she was just like.
Zane
He was live watching it.
Heath
Yeah, that.
Matt
Hey, that's a good. Just to make sure. Hey, just to make sure. Hey, if I'm single, you're single too. Make sure.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
I don't know why.
Zane
It's kind of weird.
Matt
I get. I get it.
Zane
There's the phone.
Matt
Yeah. Would I get it?
Heath
I'd probably get it in, like, a very audio then.
Matt
No audio. Yeah, no audio, I think is good.
Zane
Even video.
Heath
I don't know. It still doesn't make me feel normal. It feels just like such a weird.
Zane
What are we at a bank?
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Yeah.
Matt
Oh, I. I saw a comment about somebody working at a bank, and they said bank robberies do happen still. All the time.
Zane
Really.
Matt
It's just banks.
Heath
How successful are they?
Matt
They didn't say that part, but they said it happens all the time.
Zane
They probably just don't report it. Then.
Matt
They don't report it, and they also don't. I don't think they want to say anything because they don't want. It's just. It just encourages smart.
Heath
That's smart.
Matt
Yeah. But, you know, it's not surprising that it happens all the time. Think, like, yeah. And I feel like, like when documentaries come out or people see that like someone stole like in their head, they're like, oh, I let. Let me try it. Yeah. Also, if I had nothing to lose, I'd probably be robbing b. If I had nothing to lose, guys, I would be a thief.
Heath
Nothing to lose.
Matt
If I had nothing to lose, I'd be a thief. Like, I would do like the whole like house. House robbing is very scary. I think I would do more car thunder theft. Car theft to me is stealing from.
Zane
Cars or stealing cars.
Matt
Stealing from cars. Because I. I feel I'm not a car person. I'm not that much of a car person. I would want to. I would want you on my team. So I don't want to. I would clear out the car and I'd be like, Heath rew. Like wire the car up. We're gonna take the car. Me and you would be a great team for that.
Heath
I would steal from corporations like or steal from like people who could afford like.
Matt
Well, yeah, we'd be. We'd be going into like Bentley's and.
Heath
Someone'S day over Heath.
Matt
Right. We'd be going through Bentley's and Rangers drovers and. Yeah, yeah, we. We would make sure.
Zane
Just wanted to like slam a screwdriver into and like and. And see if I Into the ignition and see if I could like crank it and turn it.
Matt
Yeah, right.
Mariah
I. I got a notification the other day on citizens app. Be very careful. Somebody was breaking into cars with a Slim Jim.
Matt
A slim Jim.
Mariah
I swear I can't make it up.
Zane
Oh yeah.
Matt
So they would. They were like trying to break the glass with it.
Mariah
I don't know, Zane. It wasn't me.
Matt
Do you think it was chomps or. It was chomps or. It was actually a Slim Jim.
Zane
What?
Heath
I would love to figure out just like a crime where you could like funnel free mile points for like airline travel.
Matt
Oh, I'm sure there's a way your.
Heath
Account and it's just like it slowly adds over time, over time, over time, so it's not suspicious. And then by the end you have millions and millions of airline miles. Did you not wait life and it's like a glitch.
Zane
You didn't know what a Slim Jim was?
Mariah
No, I do, but why is this a thing? Does a Slim Jim work in real life?
Matt
Breaking is a tool.
Zane
Slim Jimmy. I thought you were making a joke and knew.
Matt
I thought. I thought it was the slim.
Heath
Hey, I thought it was a slim Jim too. What the is it?
Matt
No, it's an actual. No, it's just.
Zane
It's a skinny, thin piece of metal.
Matt
Yeah.
Zane
Ruler that's got like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heath
I knew that Slim Jim is called. A Slim Jim is because of the thing that opens up cars. Which came first?
Matt
Yeah. What came first?
Heath
Street or the. I bet the door opener.
Zane
The door opener.
Heath
Wow. It's like a Jack can't Earth carjack. Sorry, Not Jackhammer. What am I saying?
Matt
Slim Jim.
Heath
Yeah. It's some Jim.
Mariah
Damn.
Heath
Delete that.
Matt
Do not delete that.
Zane
Funny.
Mariah
Who else thought it was the food?
Matt
I thought it was the food when you said.
Zane
Okay, all right. That metal.
Heath
That.
Matt
Yes, I know. I've had. I've had a few Slim Jims in my life because I locked my keys in the car like Jordan.
Mariah
That's why I sent it to you guys the other day, because I was like, this is so funny that someone's reporting.
Matt
I'm with you, Mariah. Look, I'm on your side here. I truly thought it was a thing about a slab of meat that someone was trying to break in with. I thought they put the Slim Jim in, like, the keyhole. That's what I, like, let it and, like, freeze it or something. So, like, it. It fit in the keyhole perfectly. No, I thought of everything. Trust me.
Heath
I went to the hospital today.
Matt
You went to the hospital? The er they got another skin cancer tag.
Heath
No, I woke up with a sore throat and I was immediately like, oh, my gosh, I have strep. So therefore I'm going to get psoriasis. So it was like a very, like, did I sleep with my mouth open? Sore throat? Or is it like, use. You know how like, sometimes if you slept with your mouth open and you're like, then. Because, like, okay, when is a normal sore throat just a sore throat? When do I have strep? Because my brain is immediately, like, soreness.
Zane
Worst of the worst.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
We're at strep, baby.
Matt
At that point, do you immediately go to the doctor? You're like, I'm gonna go.
Heath
Well, because it's weird because, you know, like, kind of around right after your wedding, I was sick as a dog.
Matt
Yeah.
Heath
Like, very, very sick. And. And I. But I accepted that after your wedding, I got sick and I was like, I had the flu. Yeah, I got the flu. But you feel like you shouldn't get sick, like, a month, less than a month later, right? Yeah, because that's really weird when your body, like, you're like, how am I getting. Why do I usually, like, again? And for Me. It happened on Sunday, right after we finished recording. I got home and I felt it all in my bones. You know when you get that, like, have that tiny little coffee off and you taste the phlegm and you go, that's it.
Matt
Yep.
Heath
You can taste the sickness. So then I go, I feel like I'm getting sick. And Patricia's like, but you were just sick. There's no way you could be getting sick again. And I'm like, right then I felt like, I don't know. Sometimes Patricia and I will get competitive. Like, are you really sick? Are you just. Are you being dramatic that you're sick?
Matt
That is really crazy how your body does not get sick that soon after. That's like. That's wild to me.
Heath
So. And then I was like. So then it was Monday. I woke up, and I'm like, I'm not feeling good. I'm not feeling good at all. Took a nap, really not feeling good. And then yesterday didn't feel good. The whole day.
Zane
Was it like a chills type thing, too, or just so they always say.
Heath
The difference between a cold, a cold. You can go up and do things. A flu. I feel like I said this past few episodes, a flu. The way you know if you have a flu, if somebody put a hundred dollars on your front door and all you have to do to get that hundred dollars is to get up and go get that hundred dollars on a flu. You don't even care that a hundred dollars is on that, like, door. Like, you have no drive to go get up and do things.
Matt
Wow.
Zane
It's not even worth it.
Matt
I haven't had a flu in a long time, though.
Mariah
I guess I've never had the flu.
Matt
Because I cannot. I can't go today without wiping the counter.
Heath
Like, you don't. You. The idea of going to the doctor sounds so dreadful because you don't. You could not drive. You feel like you could not drive yourself kind of a thing.
Matt
Okay.
Heath
That's how much your body doesn't want to do things. But I had that. But I never.
Matt
But you went to the hospital.
Heath
Fever the whole time. I just felt bad in my bones.
Zane
Achy, kind of running.
Heath
I woke up this morning, sore throat. And I'm like. And I was reading strep, and it goes, you feel bad, then you get a sore throat.
Matt
It's funny that we look it up every time, and we've looked it up so many times.
Zane
What do you got?
Heath
Laryngitis tested negative for everything. Tested negative for code. It coveted test negative for the Flu testing negative for strep. So they gave me antibiotics. So they're like, mono. You're. There's no way I, I don't feel, like, tired. Like, mono is like, exhaustion or extreme fatigue.
Matt
I, I, I've had, like, shivers before where I'll have a shiver and I feel like I'm getting cold. And then I wake up the next day and it's completely gone. Like, what is that moment? What is that when you feel it.
Heath
For, like, you have a strong immune system.
Matt
Oh, that's just what it is.
Heath
I think what happened to me is, is I never gave myself a rest day in terms of working out for the past 13 days. Like, you worked out every day? I worked out every day. And on my rest days, I still was, like, on the treadmill for a whole hour.
Matt
It's you, you could treadmill every day. Treadmill. Every day is good.
Heath
I know not every day, but, like, I never gave my day one body of rest.
Matt
Okay.
Heath
And I don't know. And I guess I hadn't done that in a long time. I'd never gone that long without giving my right.
Zane
Been in the sun a lot too.
Heath
Maybe not enough, but. Yeah, I feel like I was in.
Matt
The, Being in the sun a lot.
Zane
Can, can Sometimes the, Sometimes the sun, like, really runs me down. Like, if I go to, like, if we would do like a beach day or if I'm in the sun, like, it borderline makes me sick.
Matt
Oh, I'm not getting enough sun. I've, I've found out.
Zane
Yeah.
Matt
Like, I really think about my days every day. I was like, oh, wow, I'm not getting any sun at all.
Heath
I try to get a break when.
Matt
I wake up and your body needs sun.
Zane
Go. As soon as you wake up, go outside.
Matt
Yeah, I'm gonna, I was, I was like going hiking again because that's, I, I got so much sun, like, good sun for like a straight hour. I feel I'm start doing that again. And I felt so good I'd come like, after a hike. I felt amazing. You take on the day after.
Zane
It is really nice.
Heath
But I've just been so paranoid about, like, is it over or am I about to get worse? But I do feel better than I felt yesterday.
Matt
Thank.
Heath
But I'm skiing on Friday from hot to cold Tahoe. But I leave tomorrow. But I was about to cancel because if I found out I was tested positive for something, I'm like, I'm about to cancel everything.
Matt
What are you going to Tahoe for?
Heath
Matt Do's birthday.
Zane
Oh, Nice going to go you boarding or skiing?
Heath
Skiing and I probably won't be skiing with them cuz they're really good but I'll be. I don't mind you do your own thing. Just be. I'm just do not.
Matt
Do not do the highest point.
Heath
You will roll the blue cuz blues I can with blues but I encounter challenging blues where I'm like why the hell am I doing this with Connor Franta just as tours acl I'm like ain't worth it's not worth it so I'm just keeping it mild. Having a couple pints, having some laughs.
Matt

Host/Authors: Zane and Heath
Release Date: April 15, 2025
Description: Welcome to Zane and Heath: UNIFLTERED BABY!!!!
In Episode 279 of Zane and Heath: Unfiltered, titled "Shocking Record Breaking Facts", hosts Zane and Heath dive into a whirlwind of intriguing discussions, ranging from internet prank culture to unprecedented traffic jams, all while sharing their personal experiences and insights. This episode is packed with humor, thoughtful commentary, and memorable moments that highlight the duo's dynamic chemistry.
The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the world of internet pranks. Zane, Heath, and their friends discuss how April Fools' Day pranks have evolved, particularly with the rise of platforms like TikTok and YouTube. They express concern over the quality and impact of modern pranks, noting a decline in their humor and the increasing tendency to provoke genuine fear in unsuspecting victims.
They highlight the emergence of pranksters who intentionally disturb public spaces, such as a kid in TikTok who disrupts quiet zones in stores, garnering millions of views but causing real distress among bystanders.
The conversation shifts to the psychological effects of cringe-worthy content, exploring why certain videos cause secondhand embarrassment and how this trend affects both creators and viewers.
Transitioning from the darker side of internet pranks, the hosts delve into record-breaking traffic jams around the world. Heath presents several astonishing statistics, blending fact with humorous exaggeration.
While the number "18 billion cars" is hyperbolic, it underscores the severity of traffic congestion and its societal impacts. They discuss historical traffic jams, such as a 109-mile-long jam in France during the late '80s and a 12-day standstill in China in 2010 caused by unexpected road projects and an influx of coal truckers.
The hosts reflect on human resilience and adaptability in such extreme conditions, imagining scenarios where people turn traffic jams into social gatherings or entrepreneurial ventures.
Bringing a lighter mood, Zane and Heath reminisce about their gaming days, particularly focusing on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the nostalgia surrounding GameCube games.
They discuss the shift from physical game purchases to digital downloads, lamenting the loss of tangible game collections and the inability to resell games like they used to with GameStop.
The conversation highlights the bittersweet nature of technological progress—enthusiasm for new gaming features tempered by nostalgia for past experiences.
A recurring theme in the episode is the hosts' relationship with haircuts and personal grooming. Zane, Heath, and Matt share their anxieties and humorous anecdotes about visiting hair salons, changing stylists, and maintaining their hairstyles.
Heath discusses the emotional vulnerability associated with letting someone else modify his appearance, emphasizing the difficulty in finding a trusted hairstylist.
The discussion extends to the aesthetics of hair styling, the challenges hairstylists face, and the personal significance of maintaining a consistent look.
The conversation takes a turn towards privacy and surveillance, with the hosts debating the pros and cons of having security cameras in one's home. They explore the psychological impact of being constantly monitored and the balance between safety and personal privacy.
Heath raises concerns about the intrusive nature of internal cameras, likening it to the dystopian surveillance depicted in Black Mirror.
The hosts ponder the necessity of cameras, suggesting that while exterior cameras enhance security, interior ones may cross ethical boundaries.
Towards the latter part of the episode, Heath shares his recent struggles with illness, detailing his battle with a sore throat and subsequent medical tests for strep, flu, and mono.
The hosts empathize with Heath's experience, discussing the importance of recognizing symptoms and the challenges of maintaining physical health amidst their busy lives.
As the conversation winds down, the trio reflects on aging and the shifts in their interests and abilities, particularly concerning sports and physical activities. They humorously acknowledge their reduced capacity for high-energy pursuits and the wisdom in sticking to activities that match their current selves.
They discuss the inevitability of physical decline and the importance of adapting to maintain both health and happiness.
