3 episodes in, and I don’t really mind the mid roll ads. Even though I’m already a patron, I appreciate Wade’s decision to make the entire series available for free.
I think a way the After Show could be revived is instead of a weekly thing, it could just be an "I wanted to make a video about _____, but it wouldn't be long enough for a full length video, so here's a small thing for Patrons". Then Patrons still get exclusive content, but there's no commitment to it, and there's no pressure, it's just a "whenever I feel like making one" sort of deal.
just watched the "antiquing my ipod" one and a pro tip for anyone that wants to try it at home, filling the back with brass shavings before heating helps it heat far more evenly and you'll get a nicer blue colour. learned that from watching someone make a clock here on youtube and he heated the screws he was using to a nice blue colour using that method
I feel 3 years younger again, the algorithm decided to take me to this channel one day on a hot 2020 summers day, this really got me through that year and the tough days of college ❤ That moment it took me 3 weeks to realise I bloody said "video" instead of "channel" my god
As someone who likes to have long videos to watch/listen to while working and editing, nothing kills my vibe harder than when playlists don't exist, or are out of order. Your videos are always a go-to when I need to have something to listen to, and now I can do so in a far more convenient way. You're a legend, mate. Have a good vacation.
I swear, the number of large YT creators who have playlists of their videos _in reverse order_ really makes me question my sanity. (Also pro tip, on desktop play a playlist, add another video to queue from the suggested list or wherever, click the save button on the queue, then sort the new playlist by upload date)
I went to download the Playlist so I can watch whenever, 115gb at 1080/60fps. First video in 4k is 33gb by itself. I can't imagine how much storage space Wade needs for all his recordings.
I can't even imagine how long it would take, but maybe re-encoding to HEVC or AV1 would shave some off that file size. Personally would settle for 1080p, maybe even 720p.
Dude these olde episodes brought me right back. I remember jumping in when you had like 5 or 6 episodes out and being bumed out that there wasn’t any more after I binged every episode at the time. It’s also so cool that you put the after show episodes up 👌🙏
My first DankPods video was the Shrek Pod and I have been with your channels ever since. It's been crazy to see how it has grown over the years, thanks for everything mate!
Thank you for making so much of this free Wade. Came in around the beginning, and loved every second of it, and you bet your betrayed friendships (??) Ill still be here when you get back! Im in this for the long haul!
Damn I swear that 3 years feel like yesterday, time flies so fast. I don't really recall the first video that I watched from dank pods, but I remember being so in love with this content because he is so damn energetic, and unique.
Alright, day 1 of the binge, time: 6:12pm. I got 3 days because I go to camp then. 50 ish hours of vid, 72 hours. Oh boi am I ready. Thank you dank for taking a break for yourself and for making this lovely series free. First time watching. I will update on each vid.
Bro, I always put your videos on for background noise. It helps my anxiety immensely, along with a few others. You're like top 2 in my comfort youtubers 💙💙💙
I actually really miss the iPod videos. Fixing them, upgrading storage etc. It's what brought me to the channel, and while I still love all the new content, I do miss the good ol' iPod days.
I only discovered you in the last year! You've provided countless hours of entertainment, so it's definitely time for you to take a well-deserved break.
God, the Bluetooth classic iPod. Still my favorite single thing Wade has ever done, especially the v2 he did with James' assistance later. Utter madness. Jeff is pretty cool too, but the BluePod is just too genius.
Unless you deleted a bunch of videos, im starting to realize that ive been here since nearly the beginning (at least of the videos currently listed). What a journey its been, and how many great memories watching your videos. You helped me through a lot of very rough times my friend, and i have no doubt there are many more like me. Much love my friend! And to wrap up this chapter I'll do a throwback to a comment I left three years ago, "Moral of the Story: Keep your spirits up, and made sure you wash your 1 grit often 😁"
Honestly, this kind of stuff was what I needed. Because I always have your videos on as background noise whenever I’m working on my website or really any other project for an extended period of time, it definitely keeps my energy up.
This is going to consume the next few weeks of my life. I could literally watch every single video over several times. I already have for a lot of them. I cant wait to see the after shows !
It's so nostalgic seeing these old videos. I've been here since the second video you ever posted, and ever since I've consistently watched every upload. I genuinely love your content. I hope your break goes well!
I have watched and rewatched these videos an ungodly amount of times so thank you much for making all of this available for free wade! truly amazin gonna love binging through all of this stuff. have a great 3 weeks
I used to work for eBay and oh boy… people always complain about how bad Amazon is? If we wanted full pay each week we had to do 500 parcels a day. In a 10 hour work day and 6 day work week. We got a 30 minute lunch break and *if you had a medical issue* (which they of course first had to verify that you were being treated for. Not that you had it. That you were being treated for it) you got an extra 15 minute break. We effectively had a minute to do each parcel, and we had to fully check them for substances or illegal items, figure out shipping, log it on the most over complicated system I’ve ever seen in my life, add a dash to the tally then repackage it, all while being watched by the supervisors. The employee video basically said procedure was: Receive package. Use industrial box cutter (1.5inch blade) to open it. Empty package by overturning the box. Check it “thoroughly”. Repackage it however works, using only tape and original packaging. Then do the next parcel. It was Craiging awful.
Seeing this made me realize how long I have been watching this channel, my first video I watched was the 1000GB video. Here is to more years, more pods being 'saved', and more screaming about shipping issues.
1:55:14 As a less than proud American, I FRICKING LOVE TIM TAMS!!!! During the second wave of Covid, the local grocery store ran out of their store brand mint cookies, (biscuits to you Aussies) so they emergency stocked it with Tim Tams, and OMG THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER. Nowadays, we still get the store brand, but we also grab one package of Tim Tams, and the store brand gets smashed!
I must be honest, this has become a good video for me to sleep to. I can just turn off autoplay, and go to sleep not worrying about my phone being on forever, and because I’ve seen them all before, I’m not gonna be missing anything, it’s a rewatch :).
Having everything in one place is more then great like you wouldn't believe me if i told you. Hope you get to enjoy your vacation/break and come back more refreshed then ever. ✌️
Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve gone back and binged all of these first-gen DankPods vids (probably mid Covid I went back this far.) And they are still good. They were good every Thursday after work in the car the first time, and they still are now. Thanks Dank, you’re the man, enjoy your break.
Dankpods taught me how to fix an iPod during the panini and I was hooked after that and I didn’t realize he was Dankmus until he mentioned it in a video later 😂
that largest ipod battery video is crazy! the last ipod classic getting 40 hours of battery could easily last someone a week of constant listening or a month of intermittent listening, especially if you're not leaving the backlight on.
I can't believe it's been over three years since I first saw the Lego MP3 video during the pandemic. It has been an honor and pleasure to see Wade from the beginning to where he is now.
I remember when you were just starting out. You helped my in one of the darkest parts of my life. I started watching and soon got into ipod modding myself and now I have a 128gig flash modded 7th Gen classic and I love it so much. It is my dedicated 4x3 video player and it was well worth the $100 I paid for it at a gameXchange. Have a good break and I hope that the dankpods community continues to be the amazing place that I have come to love.
ok so I'm watching the bootleg vid with ear buds, and just noticed that the audio from the pod and dank are in separate ears? GENIUS! I love Dank's attention to detail.
I have an 8 GB Orange 4th gen na-no, and I use it to listen to all the Harry Potter audiobooks, but this thing was my brothers, and it's so old and so used that the battery can't hold a charge, so whenever i'm using it, it's plugged into a portable charger that trickle charges it just to keep it on, mate.
HDDs can survive allot more impact if they're not spun up, so that couple explain how some survived those big dents while others that had HDD spun up at the time wouldn't.
I love how Wade's personality and quirks were on full display two episodes in. Free iPod episode: 'Still wondering what I can do with this channel, mate'. 128GB iPod episode: Large Ham mode. And so it continued. Genuinely I'm so happy I found this man's content. Thank you Wade
3:34:38 4 hours of edit... Now in the extended unedited directors cut of the whole show, WOW.... Shows how much love and dedication is behind every minute of it
My first video was the Raycons one “I bought raycuns” Had me hooked and then it went from there. I’ve fallen asleep to many a DankPods videos and I’m happy to continue that trend ❤
finally a sufficiently long episode of dankpods
LifeofBoris watches LifeofDank
Huh? BORIS? Wow, never expected you to be here...
I see you are the man of culture as well! Nice
Eyyy
You Two are legends
I can genuinely watch this man for this long, you wouldn't believe how many times ive rewatched these videos
I know right.
Same😂
Mate, I always go back to the cashies episodes. They are just too funny 😂
How did you type this are you a time traveler
Yeh same, ive watched all of these videos at least 3-5 times😂
I like how the camera gets progressively closer to the iPad
It does lol
Gravity
season two nothing but iPad
i just noticed that
what if the screw on the iphone stand is just very slowly giving up and Wade didn't realize?
Being told Wade's gone for 3 weeks: 😔
Realising you have time to binge all the after shows by the time of the next upload: 🤩
I was so happy to hear he was giving himself 3 weeks. Everyone needs a break once in a while. I hope he enjoys himself and comes back refreshed.
he's a true aussie legend
ohhh thats why he did this
@@sirbilliusI was a little sad that no new dank for 3 weeks but wade needs a brake
Have fun lol, the after shows were totally worth my money. Bite sized dankpods!
3 episodes in, and I don’t really mind the mid roll ads.
Even though I’m already a patron, I appreciate Wade’s decision to make the entire series available for free.
I hope the after show can be rescued. I loved the latest music shop video. I would love to see more of it.
Well, it takes dedication to find the after shows in all this :)
I'm glad he put ads on it because now I feel less bad about watching Patreon content without paying.
I think a way the After Show could be revived is instead of a weekly thing, it could just be an "I wanted to make a video about _____, but it wouldn't be long enough for a full length video, so here's a small thing for Patrons". Then Patrons still get exclusive content, but there's no commitment to it, and there's no pressure, it's just a "whenever I feel like making one" sort of deal.
There is an after show playlist afaik, I guess it's now OK to publicly share it
i love that you can see the ipad case slowly get more thrashed as the video goes on
This isn't a nugget, or the whole chicken, is legit a full lifetime worth of content, thank you Wade for this superhero level generosity ❤
So his name is Wade! I had no idea.
This is the whole chicken farm
@@tylern6420the dinosaur that evolved over time into the chicken
Can you please fill me in with who Wade is?
@@mindofvirtuoso3358 Dankpods' name is Wade, he has said it before lol

It was uploaded 3 days ago ya scallywag
@@da3kboboi320it’s a collection of all his vids and there’s alot of old ones.
This video was unlisted

My first video of his was the Raycon one and I found him again after that cause of the green iPad and subbed immediately

Dude this entire series is 50 hours of content holy crap I'm going to be watching this for next week dude holy crap
And the fact this is basically just the first “three seasons” and more will be added later this year
Plenty of time to watch while he's on break
And rewatch for the 2 weeks after that
I’ve watched just about every DankPods video MORE THAN ONCE except for the after shows. This is a BLESSING FROM DANK GOD
that first episode, no grit, no pkcells, no funny duck, it just doesn't feel right.
Alright, day 1 of the binge, time: 6:12pm. I got 3 days because I go to camp then. 50 ish hours of vid, 72 hours. Oh boi am I ready. Thank you dank for taking a break for yourself and for making this lovely series free. First time watching. I will update on each vid.
40 minutes in going strong, time: 638pm, i kipped a lil
what's the status report?
@@purpleneons I can’t handle this. Only partway through part 2 of season 1. Jesus.
Bro, I always put your videos on for background noise. It helps my anxiety immensely, along with a few others. You're like top 2 in my comfort youtubers 💙💙💙
Aww
Same :)
That's just breathtaking that even the paid stuff he made for free for us all to enjoy such a lovely person
I actually really miss the iPod videos. Fixing them, upgrading storage etc. It's what brought me to the channel, and while I still love all the new content, I do miss the good ol' iPod days.
Hilarious and personable from the very first video! It was meant to be, and I couldn't be happier.
The fact that the After Shows are bundled in is really cool, even if I already pay for his Patreon haha
I only discovered you in the last year! You've provided countless hours of entertainment, so it's definitely time for you to take a well-deserved break.
God, the Bluetooth classic iPod. Still my favorite single thing Wade has ever done, especially the v2 he did with James' assistance later. Utter madness. Jeff is pretty cool too, but the BluePod is just too genius.

50 hour dankpods binge, lets go
I've watched whole ass anime shorter than that
A nostalgia trip, I remember finding your channel in the early days and getting hooked. Good to see these finally available
Honestly, this kind of stuff was what I needed. Because I always have your videos on as background noise whenever I’m working on my website or really any other project for an extended period of time, it definitely keeps my energy up.
I didn't realise Geir's ipod was LITERALLY the first episode! Goddamn, I feel old!
This is going to consume the next few weeks of my life. I could literally watch every single video over several times. I already have for a lot of them. I cant wait to see the after shows !
Mate, it's so nice to be brought back in time and watch you from the beginning again.
The editing hasn’t changed much since the begining… which is a great thing!
The quality has gotten exponentially better though!
It's so nostalgic seeing these old videos. I've been here since the second video you ever posted, and ever since I've consistently watched every upload. I genuinely love your content.
I hope your break goes well!

You served well marine, but did you ever steal a Goodmans!?
It feels great to be able to watch this channel from the beginning, we will always be with you Wade!
No one has said it yet but thanks for including the after shows since I can't afford patreon and now I can watch them
Seeing this made me realize how long I have been watching this channel, my first video I watched was the 1000GB video. Here is to more years, more pods being 'saved', and more screaming about shipping issues.
I feel weird when he thanks us for supporting him on the after show, considering I've never given him a penny

mmm ik what im doing for the next 50hrs, thx Wade enjoy LTX!
Closer to 60~ hours of content

YES THE RETURN OF GEIR!!!
I can't believe it's been over three years since I first saw the Lego MP3 video during the pandemic. It has been an honor and pleasure to see Wade from the beginning to where he is now.
Oh boy now I can watch all the after shows 😳
First appearance of Frank @4:49:19. :)
thank you
man I like the way these are titled like if it's a complete season of a TV Show on DVD
Call me crazy but over the days I'm goanna sit down and watch this whole playlist!
Edit 1.0 Completed the first video aka almost 6 hours!!
At least I’m not touching grass lol
The obvious change in voice is crazy from the first video to what he posted recently about his vacation break. Wild what time does
yooo vintage Dank
i've watched this video with a mix of Sennie's, AirPods, Raycons, and Dirty Buds!
Im here when it was made HAHA
just decided to purchase and flashmod an ipod mini because of this vid. thanks for the inspiration, dude!
Hi
hi
Hi
Hi
Привет
Someone needs to put all of these on an iPod and call it the dank pod
When i get an ipod, that's my first plan
Wild how from Episode 1 it's almost unrecognizable, and then in Episode 2 it's like 90% of the way to the DankPods we know today.
I love looking back on these videos and realizing how far we’ve come and realizing that I’ve been here since like his 5th video :)
I’m a total fan of the “1 grit” :)
Thank you for the videos man. I appreciate it so long man. Damn it must’ve took you hours to do this.
I remember when you were just starting out. You helped my in one of the darkest parts of my life. I started watching and soon got into ipod modding myself and now I have a 128gig flash modded 7th Gen classic and I love it so much. It is my dedicated 4x3 video player and it was well worth the $100 I paid for it at a gameXchange. Have a good break and I hope that the dankpods community continues to be the amazing place that I have come to love.
absolute madlad, with the free aftershows. Thank you so much, mate. Frome one aussie to another
ok so I'm watching the bootleg vid with ear buds, and just noticed that the audio from the pod and dank are in separate ears? GENIUS! I love Dank's attention to detail.
I have an 8 GB Orange 4th gen na-no, and I use it to listen to all the Harry Potter audiobooks, but this thing was my brothers, and it's so old and so used that the battery can't hold a charge, so whenever i'm using it, it's plugged into a portable charger that trickle charges it just to keep it on, mate.
49 hours straight of dankpods, the best playlist
HDDs can survive allot more impact if they're not spun up, so that couple explain how some survived those big dents while others that had HDD spun up at the time wouldn't.
I love how Wade's personality and quirks were on full display two episodes in. Free iPod episode: 'Still wondering what I can do with this channel, mate'. 128GB iPod episode: Large Ham mode. And so it continued. Genuinely I'm so happy I found this man's content. Thank you Wade
aint no way it's been 3 years bro
i love u papa dank
1:34:36 MY FIRST TASTE OF THE DANK
three years ago and hes been at it the whole time. take all the time you need big guy you deserve it
Almost six hours? That can fill up an entire video tape on EP speed!
It's MY slumber party, and I pick the movie!
Look at all this stuff!!! We're never gonna run out!
Thank you so much for letting us watch the aftershows!
You have no idea how many times I have rewatched every single of these episodes and now having a super-video is a delight!
Can we a take a moment to acknowledge wade's cheeky editing and calling out adobe when it couldn't pull itself together lol
These old videos are like Avgn nostalgia because I remember watching both channels when they were super small
And so begins the aftershow binge
This fucking legend....guy goes on vacation for (a well deserved) 3 weeks, uploads 40+ hours of content beforehand.
3:34:38 4 hours of edit... Now in the extended unedited directors cut of the whole show, WOW.... Shows how much love and dedication is behind every minute of it
Holy season spam Batman!
Love your work Mr Dank.
Being able to see the growth of a amazing channel and a amazing man all in one. Love to see all the characters come together! ❤❤❤
this is gonna be a scrumptious video to sleep to tysm
Thank you so much for these, I really love having long form videos to have on in the background for doing stuff
Finally, the only online streaming series worth watching.
What'd he say? 50 hours of dankpods? I can get through that by the time he's back
that first video is an early sign of success. i like the chillness.
This is absolutely perfect,all of DankPods,I'm downloading this to have Dank everywhere I go!
My first video was the Raycons one
“I bought raycuns”
Had me hooked and then it went from there. I’ve fallen asleep to many a DankPods videos and I’m happy to continue that trend ❤
Damn this is insane, you could’ve released these once a day for months be decided to just throw them all in one go, truly the bestest guy 😊
