i love the idea of a “live audience” episode where listeners game avatars are also on set, except we cant hear anything. I think thats awesome. an endurance test.
New Nosferatu look is really the OG look: Dracula originally had a big mustache, his appearance is most likely based on Walt Whitman because Bram Stoker had a massive crush on him
This podcast is the (temporary) cure for my clinical depression. Symptoms have improved greatly since receiving a once weekly script for this medication.
It’s going to be fascinating for this podcast if it goes long enough that we run out of these games it’s easy to hang out in and you guys end up hiding in trenches in some popular war game trying to have a conversation
Granted, this is how I understand the information that Ive read about the crash: The explanation for the concrete wall is due to the system that allows pilots to land with low visibility. The metal pylons at the end of the runway give off a signal that tells the pilots where the end of the runway is and what elevation it is, to allow for low visibility landing, however, the end of runway had a steep dropoff, so when they constructed the runway they built concrete stands for them to sit on so that they would be at the proper height. They were only on one side of the runway, and the plane was pointed in the their direction, touched down too late, couldn't lose enough speed, and a number of other factors is what lead to them colliding with those supports.
here we were thinking austin's special interest was mundanity in video games but we're getting a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of personal intensity outta this nerd talking about airplanes *and it's beautiful!* the early part of the cabela's game playthrough suddenly makes much more sense lol
What the girl popping up in Austin’s room saw is great material for a creepy pasta. Also, putting a toilet in for the audience was very considerate. Thank you.
I literally paused the video for the nosferatu spoilers, went to go watch the movie, got spooked, then came back here to be able to enjoy the video in its entirety
Weird Habbo rooms open to the public has to be a reoccurring bit! It was so funny when that user came back for a second look 😂 they were definitely freaked out by the TVs
Austin wants that Adventure Time scene where Finn and BMO are shouting fine at each other, slam a door, and then do a cute lil wave and smirk through the window
I am not a flat earther, but I did have a hyper fixation on them for like a solid year and watched way too many, way too long videos they made. There is no singular 'flat earth theory' because, like most conspiracy theory movements, it's many different ideas under a central idea. The only true commonality is 'earth is flat', and there are groups and individuals who will have their own ideas from there. This leads to the fact that no flat earther is *only* a flat earther, because the idea changes literally everything we know about the universe. Because of this, the groups end up being extremely contradictory, and there is a lot of infighting that will happen. The real problem with trying to understand their ideas is that a lot of what you will come across are just trolls. And, because the idea of flat earth is already a really weird and, to us, silly thing, it's hard to discern what is a real belief by somebody, and what is someone just pretending for the sake of mockery. For example, a commonly posted Facebook group (you may have seen the image of them saying they have "members all around the globe") is not a legitimate collective. A lot of it is the very 4chan-y style of pretending to be something as sincerely as possible as a joke. That said, there are some generally accepted ideas for the recent online movement: - The pop culture idea of a flat disk floating through space is not the general consensus. Rather, the earth is a large plane (think like Minecraft or various fantasy worlds), and that what we know as our world is a center point surrounded by a wall of ice (Antarctica). - Some believe there is a dome - the firmament as mentioned in the bible - and some don't. In fact a lot of it is based on the bible, even though they won't always treat it like a religious thing. Some are very religious about it, to the point of antisemitism. - Gravity isn't real. Things fall down because of course they do. Or some will say it's because of buoyancy. This is a fun one to see them try to explain. (For the few who do believe the flat disk idea, it's because the earth is constantly accelerating upward really fast - but again, the movement largely moved away from this) - Whether or nor the other celestial bodies are flat or not depends on if they believe in the firmament. Generally they stay away from anything just being a flat disk, so either those planets are not real, or they are on the dome with the stars and other space things. - "Do your own research" is their mantra (as it is in other conspiracy movements) with a large focus on people trusting their eyes and what they see. The horizon being flat, etc. Anything that is presented by someone else - NASA photography, space stations, videos of astronauts, upper atmosphere flight, etc - is immediately decried as fake, photoshopped, altered, and so on. Unless it shows a flat earth then of course it actually is real and is evidence that supports what they say. There is a lot to take in because, as I said before, it is a really scattered group with scattered ideas and it is impossible to really take in as a singular idea. It doesn't help that their videos were incredibly boring (and long) slide shows set to stock dramatic music and quotes lifted from the Matrix. Anyway, love the show y'all! Keep up the good vibes.
Ya know this is a really great breakdown of not only flat eartherism, but any similar movement. Like take theory on Marxism (sorry for comparing flat earthers to marxists) as an example. While there is a core belief that capitalism creates suffering as a necessity, the idea of how we move away from that suffering is varied and often at odds with one another. Just a neat little way to analyze movements and how in almost all beliefs, there are fractures in thought. It’s an interesting comment!
I think this format for a chat show is genius. I am now beginning to see each of your avatars as you, but the real you, not just the game you. Horse Mem so far the highlight, dancing and splashing in her glass. Marvelous!
7:36 it does sound like you are low on options but as a fellow person who finds grocery shopping upsetting i find aldi or lidl helpful because the lack of options kinda streamlines things. i am very pro grocery delivery though it helps. also pickup from walmart or elsewhere is pretty inexpensive and solves much of the problem as well
I was itching to build a 90s style website like Mem says in her Rod Fisher video and I finally went for it, her video (and mentions of coding websites here and there) probably was the last push for me to do it - Thanks Mem!
Trick question. Riker can multiply himself without limit. They are all him and he is all of them. That is how he impregnates all the females in the universe.
In next generation, her whole species is psychic. Somehow it’s explained that it just evolved over time because there is also episodes where humans develop psychic powers when being in contact with a specific alien races and or spores or technology and such. Also in Star Trek God is canonically physically existent in the form of the characters Q so kinda anything can be true.
the fish sex > video games abrupt segue is really impressive. that's how friendships last, when you learn to deal with awkwardness by simply avoiding it wholesale and returning to more comfortable territory
Re: televisions. There's a show whose second season called Endless Eight is a time loop, where the same events play out every episode for 8 episodes with only minor differences between them. So I watched every episode on 8 different tabs at the same time and I honestly feel like it was the right way to experience it. The only way it could have been improved was by watching it on 8 different televisions.
Mem's room is for cult therapy, where your cult watches you get therapy. It's an alternative to group therapy. Austin is apparently the therapist, and she's having therapy for her Nosferatu obsessions.
I felt the new Nosferatu was (maybe unintentionally?) a really great metaphor for grooming in the internet age - a teenager who's "different" and desperate for companionship ends up connecting with a malicious, possessive old dude thousands of miles away, and she thinks she can just pack that experience away and move on but the echoes of it reverberate through the rest of her life because she's unwittingly given him way more power over her than she thought. Also it was really funny hearing Austin fruitlessly going through the motions of trying to explain what YTMND was.
As Austin was saying you cant google it because it shows you William Defoe with a mustache. That was the exact results I was looking at. Funny timing and thank you for clarifying that William Defoe with a stache was not indeed the object of Mems affections.
Also, I'm glad to learn that Memoria knows of ya boy Buff Correll. His unabashed confidence and enthusiasm has been an inspiration over these long years.
nobody needs this info, but deanna troi is the ship counselor on TNG, she's a betazoid and her species has empathic(?) abilities, not mind reading per se but more like a human(noid) mood ring. her abilities sorta vary throughout the series but they're rarely used or useful. it is not questioned or treated as magic, it's an ability inherent to her species.
Not me listening to the last episode where you guys are talking about a plane crash while my plane was taking off and it was the only episode I downloaded ...
29:26 - you're laughing but there's people doing just that but with books. it's called speed reading and the more you dig into that the weirder it gets. there is a Speed Reading Championship where participants have to compete together, but we learned that it was actually companies that were selling paid courses for speed learning. yeah it's a mess.
The back of the room toilet unearthed a memory for me of going to my aunts church and they had tvs live streaming the service in the bathroom so you didn’t miss Jesus while you peed and how earth-shattering I found that.
talking about flat earth gives me the perfect opportunity to present my new idea: kirby earth theory. basically, kirby swallowed an earth and morphed into earth kirby and that's. that's our earth. that's where we live. i have not discovered all of the details yet, it's a new theory. but i think it's true probably
on Star Trek TNG: Counselor Troi isn't psychic, she was born a Betazoid, which is a race of beings who have the ability to sense emotion. It's just like smell or sight to them, they know how people are feeling.
Another great one, thank you both! Best conclusion that came from this episode: Everything that happened in LOST is canon for IRL. Seconded best conclusion: Keeping an intro is the way.
Earlier in the podcast I was thinking of commenting on how I now felt an obligation of commenting since I have done so in everyone video so far and you guys have addressed one of my comments calling Austin a hater but I decided that was too parasocial. But now you address ANOTHER of my comments calling out Austin's insane movie-watching behavior and I gotta say I feel almost part of the podcast. I swear I also comment nice things! I was just being funny I actually love you guy's genre of content as of late and have been binging both channels (I can be nice, I swear, calling out Austin is just funnier most of the time)
really sad that i’ve already watched all the episodes of this podcast. i also would happily just silently sit in a room in habbo hotel while you guys record an episode separately
you can add stage channels on discord where only certain people can talk/present, then if somebody has something to say they can press a button to "raise their hand". im not sure what it looks like from the presenter's side though
I've also been playing Talos Principle this past week, and really enjoying it. It grabbed me in a way that The Witness didn't initially. Stoked to see what the sequel is all about when I get to it! The Looker is also a great shout for this type of game, plus it's free on steam, so there's really no excuse to not try it out. Also, as to Nosferatu not being known to children. In 1994, a game called Nosferatu came out for the SNES. I reckon that's the earliest memory I have of that name. Still haven't seen either of the movies. Maybe that's my weekend.
My understanding of the concrete wall at the Korean airport is that most airports in Korea are dual purpose for military use, which requires increased security compared to standard airports.
I listened to this when it came out and then paused when nosferatu came up, went and watched it, and have returned. And while yes I agree with what mem is saying about the with obsession angle and part of the point being that he is gross and not physically attractive. But i theres so much MORE. For me at least the big metaphor of the movie is shame. Particularly female shame over desire and sexuality. She says point blank that count orlock IS her shame, her despair, and her melancholy. Its about the different footing of the appetites of men and women, and how shame can destroy the world. It is also about how love can empower you to face the shame (esp if that shame is a desire for something horrible), but in the end only you can (literally) embrace it. Hiding it away and ignoring it, and pretending it doesn't exist will not work. It shows that freedom and salvation comes from knowing the darkness in your own heart, and turning twoards it to "crucify" it/hold it. I can see why someone would see the movie and think it's a cautionary tale about calling out to demons, and how desire can come at a cost, but really I would argue it is about something much deeper than that. There's so much to chew on about how women's sexual power is feared and detested unless it fits into a specific motherly box, and how out of that isolation she was calling out to be loved, and how genuinely caring men can still be misogynistic, and how the resolution came about only in part because someone beleived in her and accepted a woman's experience at face value, and so SO much more. AND even if all those themes go over your head it is still a good horror movie with great acting and artful filmmaking to boot, with lots of rats and a bloody mustache.
I started playing The Talos Principle as well. Thanks for the recommendation, I am enjoying it a lot. Anyone know if I should read all the terminal text files? Because I just don't find them all that interesting to be honest.
Since female sexuality has historically been feared by patriarchal societies, women in these stories often have attraction to or some sort of freaky connection with "the monster" because giving in to that temptation or letting women make decisions to explore their sexuality is scary to the society trying to contain them. So pairing sexual women with "the monster" is a kind of moral propaganda to attempt to keep women pure and controlled. And a lot of modern horror films are exploring that idea in new ways, which is so cool!
i love the idea of a “live audience” episode where listeners game avatars are also on set, except we cant hear anything. I think thats awesome. an endurance test.
We could try to guess how we should react every few minutes and hope it’s funny
Mem: I hear your name is Austin!
Austin: *silent deep consideration for whether or not he has to be part of the bit*
Felt that
nosferatu is a freak finds you movie
Austin and mem are both terribly beautiful
Hauntingly so
Yes! The true intro, talking about what the intro should be!
New Nosferatu look is really the OG look: Dracula originally had a big mustache, his appearance is most likely based on Walt Whitman because Bram Stoker had a massive crush on him
austin is breaking all my pilot stereotypes bc he is none of them. Like how can a gamer fly planes???
Well, that's one way to do an intro.
Is it???
Best intro so far
This podcast is the (temporary) cure for my clinical depression. Symptoms have improved greatly since receiving a once weekly script for this medication.
Amen sister
I would totally sit in habbo hotel for an hour in silence
It would maybe be a little meditative
FOMO, you were there twice. 1st time in complete silence, 2nd time with the vibes.
1:04:43 i fell down my stairs when mem started ad libbing nosferatu fanfiction
It’s going to be fascinating for this podcast if it goes long enough that we run out of these games it’s easy to hang out in and you guys end up hiding in trenches in some popular war game trying to have a conversation
OOOOOHHHHhhhhhHHHH
‘Unhinged and beautiful’ should be the slogan for the podcast
would be great on a tshirt

So happy to see Austin reference YTMND
One of my favorite parts of the podcast is the surprise of what game the podcast will be hosted in.
"That liquid you can pour on yourself and light yourself on fire" is just alcohol, lol.
I literally paused the video for the nosferatu spoilers, went to go watch the movie, got spooked, then came back here to be able to enjoy the video in its entirety
The character on the carpet is 龍(龙), which is dragon in Mandarin. The more you know 💁🏾♂️

7:12 Austin’s trips to the store: 20 minutes driving, 15 minutes shopping, 85 minutes appreciating unremarkable and odd produce 🫑👀

There's this Excellent Man from Minneapolis who makes some cool music, y'all could have him make an intro jingle
They have to go the Geekenders route and make a full ass song that plays before and after every podcast. It's a little extra but its a bop
I am fascinated and terrified, Austin, and I simply can't look away

In TNG a broken transporter created a copy of Riker. Who had the soul?
Trick question. Riker can multiply himself without limit. They are all him and he is all of them. That is how he impregnates all the females in the universe.
I definitely don't think we need screener questions to talk to new people, but you're beautiful.
peak intro!! i thought it really was Santa Claus for a good moment there :O
lol not mem trying to send people to lemon party
Also, love that you both are fans of The Witness (and Mem for Myst/Riven). Impeccable taste!

adding to Austin's theory about the birdswarm plane, I bet no one bought multiple seats for themselves so they were at or close to max weight.

Mem's room is for cult therapy, where your cult watches you get therapy. It's an alternative to group therapy. Austin is apparently the therapist, and she's having therapy for her Nosferatu obsessions.
Austin truly comes across as despising and looking down on us poors
The toilet is so thoughtful, thank you Mem.
I felt the new Nosferatu was (maybe unintentionally?) a really great metaphor for grooming in the internet age - a teenager who's "different" and desperate for companionship ends up connecting with a malicious, possessive old dude thousands of miles away, and she thinks she can just pack that experience away and move on but the echoes of it reverberate through the rest of her life because she's unwittingly given him way more power over her than she thought.

Mem, Deanna in TNG is a Betazoid. Her psychic abilities are because she's an alien, or half-alien more precisely.
Also, it's scientifically understandable. That's an episode where Crusher talks about neurotransmitters that are involved in Troi's abilities.
I would really love to hear more about Austin’s connection with aviation, I’m fascinated

AND even if all those themes go over your head it is still a good horror movie with great acting and artful filmmaking to boot, with lots of rats and a bloody mustache.
Grocery delivery is also great for parents with a ton of young children!
The santa bit is iconic
I started playing The Talos Principle as well. Thanks for the recommendation, I am enjoying it a lot.
Anyone know if I should read all the terminal text files? Because I just don't find them all that interesting to be honest.
The title of this video could be an episode title for Its Always Sunny

Oh we sliving now!
Guinan is just about as psychic as an emo kid. She has just lived a really long time so a lot of her wisdom seems prophetic.

I have seen the first 9 fast and furious movies. Last year my buddies and I laid them out in a 3x3 grid and watched them all at the same time. Counts.
Me when Austin says "Take me out Luigi style": "Mhm..."
Since female sexuality has historically been feared by patriarchal societies, women in these stories often have attraction to or some sort of freaky connection with "the monster" because giving in to that temptation or letting women make decisions to explore their sexuality is scary to the society trying to contain them. So pairing sexual women with "the monster" is a kind of moral propaganda to attempt to keep women pure and controlled. And a lot of modern horror films are exploring that idea in new ways, which is so cool!
