this is up two days early on accident ! i blame my sickness 😷 for making me stupid, i must have clicked the wrong date. i've decided to leave it up cause some people already got notified. next episode will be the usual day, tuesday 1/28. ~mem
One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it ends so abruptly. One of you will finish a sentence, the other says “Ok that’s like an hour time to shut up” and the video just hard ends. Very good podcast.
@@SapkaliAkif omg same, i am sorry this is so common! I have audhd and I was just so oblivious, all that was going on in my head was "this is friendship. i am doing so good in the friendship department, i am so good at being normal" not realising these people were not my friends. I have a whole Freundebuch (=friends-book? idk if this exists anywhere else but you just put in a pic of yourself and list stuff like birthday, fav colour, fav food etc.) full of folks that i was in primary school with that i look back on and go "wow. they were so mean. why was i so nice to them for so long???" honestly very glad i was so socially unaware (probably the autism mostly) and did not fully mentally realise what was going on at the time, tho i did often feel worse after spending time with them "for some reason" 🙄 note: this did not set high standards for friendship in middle+high school, what a shocker!
He really does have "I spend my summers in a firewatch tower" energy. And yeah, me too with the constant bullying. I had no idea because my siblings treated me so badly that I thought it was normal 😢
Hi Mem, I really enjoyed this episode of Austin's morning radio talk show. It was really nice of you to call in and chat. I hope everyone else is super stoked for Austalk with Austin.
okay so not only did i have to do the starvation exercise where the CCD programmers told our parents they'd be feeding us in the evening (I landed my 1/2 cup of brown rice of course, while 5 kids and the priest sat at a lordly table with a full chicken dinner as we sat on the floor watching), but I ALSO in 5th grade had to do a similar experience to the Nazi camp, but it was for the Underground Railroad at a totally separate institution called Nature's Classroom in Massachusetts. We were "treated like slaves" by the counselors where they lined us up and made remarks about our bodies and teeth (???) and then chased us through the pitch black woods where we also met at those checkpoints. They also made my only Black classmate participate and singled him out. I felt and still feel insane. Anyway thank you love the pod
A few years after high school, someone came up to me at a social gathering and apologized for having bullied me so often. I didn't even know who the person was... Them: "I'm sorry I was so cruel to you" Me: "I'm sorry... have we met?"
mem expecting austin to just know who she was at every point in her life, and austin being like "okay, flashback- i won a karaoke contest!!!" i'm gonna start saying flashback when i use my memory to make a point.
lost it when mem said this is the least like austin that any of these avatars have ever looked, because immediately when I saw it I was like "this one looks exactly like austin" and was getting ready to comment that
Mem taking a break halfway through Austin's commentary on the State's role in law enforcement etc. is the most authentic thing I've seen on UA-cam in a long time.
1:07:42 Glad we got our weekly plane mention Just got off my first mid Atlantic flight, I was comforted during it by the thought that if some horrible accident happened at least Austin and Mem would talk about it.
Love the Pod (especially earlier than expected!) As someone who has discovered both of you within the past year I would love to know the Austin + Mem lore, how do you two know each other originally etc.? Also would love to see you do a pod in Old School Runescape + also put Austin in the walkie talkie next week and Mem be crystal clear and alternate it every week. 📻
Alternate titles for this episode - Austin goes to death camp - flashlight Nazis in the forest - there were almost no planes but then there was in fact one plane - immersion-breaking hairstyles OR too much tv, not enough production design
Some school assembly experiences I remember having: 1. Holocaust Survivor, our English class read his book. He talked about his experience. 2. Colombine Survivor, was a girl sitting on the front door stoop when the attack started. One of the shooters walked past her before the attack started. 3. 1st responder activities, they taught us how to do cpr, something similar to what Austin experienced: how to escape a burning building; a very strange experience for 7y/o's what it is like to be handcuffed in the back seat of a police car. 4. A famous olympic swimmer spoke about his experience, he grew up in my town.
Thinking of a topic. Have you ever had a much older person, like 3 to 4x your age ask you out? I helped an elderly woman for a few months before covid started (covid stopped us working together) with her horse barn. I could clean, groom, and feed. After a conversation about her husband passing she said she was looking for his replacement. Her next statement after that comment was that I was a handsome, strong man. I was 29 at the time, she was 74.
I also had a lot of holocaust survivors, I believe a total of four. Also Dennis Rodman visited my first grade class, apparently he lived near by in New Jersey lol.
oh my god I went to camp Tecumseh! holy shit this is like unlocking a core memory. I remember my friends who had gone in previous years talking about how cool it was but all i remember was getting yelled at for swimming in the wrong area or something
listen as someone who has stayed at one (1) party house, the trick to not being randomly mad or introverted one day is that there are drugs everywhere and you take the drugs and then it's cool again. you will be depressed and antisocial for like the next month but hey that's a problem for future you who isn't in a party house
Almost every day, my partner and I talk about how the cliff scene in Midsommar doesn't phase them at all, but it's the most difficult thing I've ever watched, lol. And yet a similarly brutal scene in Hereditary doesn't bother me, but sends my partner into tears. Lol. It's weird what people are sensitive to from person to person.
I just love the idea that someone convinced Austin to go see Midsommar in theaters, and the pitch was just like "it's a movie about a camping trip," and Austin was like, "now that sounds like a worthwhile film!"
15:55 I'm reminded of a quote from James Burrows (Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, Cheers, Will & Grace), where he said that way back in the day there were three channels but only twenty good hours of tv between them. Now we have three hundred channels but still only twenty good hours of tv between them.
Not to bring the mood down or anything, but there's at least two other maritime disasters that I learned about as a kid and that sort of stuck with me. One was MS Scandinavian Star, the other was MS Estonia. If you're ever feeling a bit too gleeful, have a read about those! Anyway, love what you're doing here, and having each episode set in a game is simply genious! I'm all about that low effort, high reward life.
i am so glad to watch the pod on this day...! keeping me going today. also for camp stories i swear they fed us dog food this one time. haven't been able to verify that but at a church camp they gave us dog food as a snack guys i swear
I experience sleep paralysis pretty regularly, probably once or twice a month since childhood (im 30 for reference.) It never really gets any less distressing when you're trying to realize that its happening coming out of sleep, but you can kind of ease yourself out of it in different ways once you're 'grounded'. I try to focus on moving the tips of my fingers or toes, and eventually I'll just kind of be able to move and wake up.
the best (worst?) part of the costa concordia is that the captain caused the accident cos he was trying to impress his mistress (or a woman who he was trying to have become his mistress?) by doing a maritime salute which is just where you drive really close to the coast and honk the horn
It is crazy if that summer camp existed. Under no circumstance would it be okay to commit war crimes to demonstrate how awful those war crimes were, especially to oblivious minors. But if it was real, I feel Mem and Austin have a pretty good youtube video to make.
The beginning of the podcast already explained the audio quality, Mem. You said you’re back in high school! So that means this was recorded 10 (in your case) to 40 (in Austin’s) years ago.
😂😂 "mem, they- their brains came out!" That's just what it's like having a horror fan bestie haha mine loves Outlast Trials and the only thing that surprised her about that game was the sheer volume of on-screen hog, she was already so innured to gore that she didn't bat an eye at the rest of it
btw dubstep was a very different genre before skrillex brought it to America. Proper dubstep came from a mix of two step garage and reggae dub/Jamaican sound system music. It also evolved a long side grime, so instrumentally they were very similar at first. Skreams self titled album is a great example of the oldschool style, and there's people like chad dubz that keep the style alive today.
I went camping when I was like 10 or 11 with a group of kids to this campground that had a zipline. Well I guess the counselor didn't latch one of the kids in correctly, or the kid decided to jump before they could be latched in, but basically, I watched this one kid jump off the platform and plummet to the ground where he absolutely obliterated a sapling and tumbled down the hill. It felt like ages before they brought in a four wheeler and took him to the hospital where they patched him up. He ended up fine after his broken arms healed but still not exactly the best memory to obtain at that age for either of us. At least they fed us though haha
I like the idea of someone driving through the town with a car full of drugs, but because their one specific type of drug wasn't on the checklist they get away with it.
When I was around 14 or 15, I went to a survival training camp through the air cadets. One day, we were walking through the forest and the people at the back of the line were silently taken away and made to roleplay as disaster victims. Then the rest of us were yelled at for not noticing our squadmates were missing and then told to go help the victims. I had to pull a person out of a car that was pretend on fire and then bandage some ketchup wounds. It kinda sucked for the victims because they had to pretend to be unconscious while getting bitten by mosquitoes.
In 2007 or so some kids at my college were planning a protest for the same cause as Kony 2012. One of the girls was explaining what a silent protest was to me, but I didn't understand and kept asking questions about how you can explain your cause if the protest is "silent." She got mad at me for mocking the protest, but I was just stupid and didn't get it.
We also had a magician for a school rally once! There was another time though where there was a "don't smoke" rally and the guy pulled out a gross lung and said 'this is the lung of someone who smoked. look how awful it is. this is what smoking does to you.' and in retrospect it probably wasn't an actual lung because how did that guy just have that thing and keep it in good enough condition to show to elementary school students
I am so interested in cords! I want to keep a collection of cords like Mem! I want to archive old cords for eternity! I want to know everything about Mem's cord organization! I love cords! I LOVE CORDS!
Young Man being the first words of the YMCA song and Austin not knowing it was an acronym did make me laugh. Saying this as someone who doesn't know the rest of the acronym. But of course your thoughts are beautiful Austin etc etc I can't remember the phrase to avoid his trigger
I had a friend who got pulled over for speeding by a female cop. She asked "why were you speeding" and he said "because I just lost my virginity and I need to get home and write about it in my journal" (which, according to him, was a lie). The cop laughed for a minute, then felt bad and let him go. So it turns out there is an answer to "why were you speeding" that can get you out of a ticket.
Chiming in from east-central Illinois where half our 8th grade class had "holocaust day" in the mid/late 00s. The teachers put on nazi uniforms and spoke with german accents and made comments about kids who were twins. During passing periods they were all walking single file, looking down, and couldn't talk. Everyone was given a star badge at the start of the day and if they took them away it meant you died. It was meant to be an immersive day where kids could experience what it was like to be in the holocaust (lol) Adults are wild
omg does this mean yall will do an episode in chinese simple life?!?!? that $2 game episode is one of my favorite videos on youtube and i watch it like once a week
I've had sleep paralysis throughout my life and after a sleep study I realized I had a subset of narcolepsy so it might be worth looking into that. Not much I can do about it though, but they gave me things to avoid. I don't randomly fall asleep or have cataplexy but still have whatever it is that causes you to fall into the REM cycle asap when sleeping.
A bigger maritime disaster was the MV Sewol passenger ferry sinking in South Korea 304 people died, including 250 students from the same high school Also "South Korean law explicitly requires captains to remain on the ship during a disaster" it might be similar in italy
According to Arnold & Itkin LLP (Lawyers specializing in maritime law)'s article "Does a Captain Have to Go Down with the Ship?" on their website: "There is no universal maritime law that states a captain must go down with their ship. Such a broad statement would not apply to every scenario, such as a situation where a vessel is sinking but all crew members and passengers have already been rescued. In that case, the captain would certainly have the right to get off the vessel before it was too late. Most countries, however, have laws in place that establish a captain’s obligation to protect the safety of passengers and crew members. In South Korea, for example, a captain must remain on board until all passengers have been rescued. In Finland, a captain must do everything possible to save the passengers and crew and, unless their life is in immediate danger, must not abandon ship if there is reasonable hope that it could be saved. In the United States, there is no explicit law requiring a captain to remain on their ship, but they could face criminal charges if they acted with negligence or extreme disregard for human life in abandoning a vessel in distress or causing a maritime accident in the first place. Schettino faced criminal charges because of his role in the initial grounding of the Costa Concordia as well as a host of other factors. [...] It was these things, along with Schettino’s abandonment of the vessel while there were still passengers on board, that led to his conviction. One year of his 16-year sentence was attributed to abandoning his passengers."
this is up two days early on accident ! i blame my sickness 😷 for making me stupid, i must have clicked the wrong date. i've decided to leave it up cause some people already got notified. next episode will be the usual day, tuesday 1/28. ~mem
Thank you for leaving it up for us to listen to early!
get well soon ❣️
Early access?! Hell yeah!
Sunday's a nicer day to listen to a podcast anyway.
oh no sick again! feel better!
One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it ends so abruptly. One of you will finish a sentence, the other says “Ok that’s like an hour time to shut up” and the video just hard ends. Very good podcast.
I am going to imagine Austin is in a firewatch tower and Mem is talking from a walkie talkie.
5:20 I also got bullied and just didn't care. I thought it was an AuDHD thing
@@SapkaliAkif i got bullied too and cared *way* too much 💀
@@SapkaliAkif omg same, i am sorry this is so common! I have audhd and I was just so oblivious, all that was going on in my head was "this is friendship. i am doing so good in the friendship department, i am so good at being normal" not realising these people were not my friends.

He really does have "I spend my summers in a firewatch tower" energy.
And yeah, me too with the constant bullying. I had no idea because my siblings treated me so badly that I thought it was normal 😢
The difference in audio quality is called charm
Oh, okay. I thought Mem's handset was too far from the base
I feel like the podcasts should be done from a skype call to give them a feeling of authenticity for the time period most of these games are from
Hi Mem, I really enjoyed this episode of Austin's morning radio talk show. It was really nice of you to call in and chat. I hope everyone else is super stoked for Austalk with Austin.
The Audio of mem saying please still listen, and then her coming on sounding like a phone call was hilarious. 🤣
Memoria treats real world towns like Austin says video game developers treat racing backgrounds
okay so not only did i have to do the starvation exercise where the CCD programmers told our parents they'd be feeding us in the evening (I landed my 1/2 cup of brown rice of course, while 5 kids and the priest sat at a lordly table with a full chicken dinner as we sat on the floor watching), but I ALSO in 5th grade had to do a similar experience to the Nazi camp, but it was for the Underground Railroad at a totally separate institution called Nature's Classroom in Massachusetts.

Oh my god
What the fuck is wrong with these camps? Jesus Christ
A few years after high school, someone came up to me at a social gathering and apologized for having bullied me so often. I didn't even know who the person was...
Them: "I'm sorry I was so cruel to you"
Me: "I'm sorry... have we met?"
I like the audio fuck up. It sounds like Austin is a radio host and Mem is a caller calling in.
oh god the art style of this game is TERRIFYING
mem expecting austin to just know who she was at every point in her life, and austin being like "okay, flashback- i won a karaoke contest!!!" i'm gonna start saying flashback when i use my memory to make a point.
The way he said Flashback! took me out
lost it when mem said this is the least like austin that any of these avatars have ever looked, because immediately when I saw it I was like "this one looks exactly like austin" and was getting ready to comment that
Episode got uploaded early and still aligned with my hair washing day, truly incredible work being done here
more people washing their hair to this!! :D hoping your hair is behaving lmao
@rainbowhamham27 ty ty its misbehaving as ever but as to be expected. Also Ema skye
The opening... Mem, it's OK, we like the podcast and we like you lol
this is my favourite long lasting podcast, been here since the beginning
Please keep making these, I love this podcast.
Mem taking a break halfway through Austin's commentary on the State's role in law enforcement etc. is the most authentic thing I've seen on UA-cam in a long time.

We had an unannounced presentation on chewing tobacco and I did see pictures of ppl without jaws. 6th grade 😮
I also had a lot of holocaust survivors, I believe a total of four. Also Dennis Rodman visited my first grade class, apparently he lived near by in New Jersey lol.
oh my god I went to camp Tecumseh! holy shit this is like unlocking a core memory. I remember my friends who had gone in previous years talking about how cool it was but all i remember was getting yelled at for swimming in the wrong area or something
It sounds like kids who absolutely loved following rules would have liked Tecumseh.
the fact that we're in the room with austin just makes him way more compelling and convincing overall. dunno why
Now I’m officially convinced Mem exists solely in Austin’s mind just off her audio quality alone.
NewCP made me do a triple check until I realized its Club Pinguin! Please for the love of everything good, rename that desktop item, newCP is wild
well you wouldn't call it oldCP
This is the most reliable podcast ever, like the quality is the same every episode so far and it's just chefs kiss
listen as someone who has stayed at one (1) party house, the trick to not being randomly mad or introverted one day is that there are drugs everywhere and you take the drugs and then it's cool again.
you will be depressed and antisocial for like the next month but hey that's a problem for future you who isn't in a party house

That cop conversation is one of the funniest cop-experience things I’ve ever heard 😆
I’m glad I get what you guys are mostly talking about
36:33 I love the stank Austin put on "youtubers" 🤣
4:08 The "let's bully this girl" hahahaha
2 episodes in the same week? we're eating goodd
Not to bring the mood down or anything, but there's at least two other maritime disasters that I learned about as a kid and that sort of stuck with me.
One was MS Scandinavian Star, the other was MS Estonia. If you're ever feeling a bit too gleeful, have a read about those!
Anyway, love what you're doing here, and having each episode set in a game is simply genious!
I'm all about that low effort, high reward life.
Camp Tecumseh was (is?) a hell hole that turned children into evangelists lol, glad you made it out ok Mem.
i am so glad to watch the pod on this day...! keeping me going today. also for camp stories i swear they fed us dog food this one time. haven't been able to verify that but at a church camp they gave us dog food as a snack guys i swear
"You're going 55, which really means 70"
Facts
Austin comparing intentionally committing crimes and paying the fine to micro-transactions was my favorite part of this one.
Austin describing how he is in a jungle or chords is the most relatable content creator thing he has ever said.
10:55 Mem: Pretty proud of my cord situation
Oh the irony!
Honesty it just feels like a phone call interview, i like the vibe
I experience sleep paralysis pretty regularly, probably once or twice a month since childhood (im 30 for reference.)

1:07:29 Austin finally mentions planes.
austin reinventing indulgences in real time
Love the underwater mic, very 2020. Thanks for the work you both do! Simple Plan the best EDM.
the best (worst?) part of the costa concordia is that the captain caused the accident cos he was trying to impress his mistress (or a woman who he was trying to have become his mistress?) by doing a maritime salute which is just where you drive really close to the coast and honk the horn

it's giving lowkey skype call between friends at 1:30 am and i truly love it
You know a story is going to be wild when it starts with "I originally blocked a lot of what happened" and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT, HOLLY SHIT
😂😂 "mem, they- their brains came out!" That's just what it's like having a horror fan bestie haha mine loves Outlast Trials and the only thing that surprised her about that game was the sheer volume of on-screen hog, she was already so innured to gore that she didn't bat an eye at the rest of it
You're good, Mem. I've listened to hundreds of hours of D&D podcasts and videos that sounded like they were in a 1930s basement underwater dog kennel.
36:15 - This just resonates with me at every level of my being.
i feel like austin would love Well There's Your Problem, and he could start with the Costa Concordia episode because it's an absolute banger
24:25 okay just for the Europeans here, 55 mph roughly corresponds with our 90 km/h zones and their 70 is roughly our 110 km/h zones
Thanks Doc!

Waiting for Mem to realise it's not dementia, just undiagnosed highly masked ADD
You know the culture has gotten really spoiled when Mem’s audio sounding basically fine merits a verbal disclaimer lol
listened to the whole thing, the audio wasn't that bad
banger episode
So when are you guys gonna fully pivot to doing a straight up aviation/airplane pod?
Austin saying "I need to do something really important!" *Comes back eating a carrot.* 🥕 🥕 🥕 🥕 🥕

Hello mem and austin i really enjoy this podcast and it's concept it is lovely i hope to see more and that you are both well hashtag love and wellness
hashtag love and wellness !! so true
"What if I wake up and I'm mad??""🤣
I love how in this pod we learn more and more how like politically radical austin is but we also learn just how absolutely unhinged mem is
26:31 it’s just to force you into admitting you were speeding… would just say “i believe i was going the speed limit”
This is the correct answer. If they don't get you with the radar but you admit to speeding they can still give a ticket
#1 Podcast in the history of the Milky way.
When I was around 14 or 15, I went to a survival training camp through the air cadets. One day, we were walking through the forest and the people at the back of the line were silently taken away and made to roleplay as disaster victims. Then the rest of us were yelled at for not noticing our squadmates were missing and then told to go help the victims. I had to pull a person out of a car that was pretend on fire and then bandage some ketchup wounds.

She got mad at me for mocking the protest, but I was just stupid and didn't get it.
Midsommar is an excellent feel bad movie. Like, I don't want to watch it again, but I'm glad I did.
Tell them "I don't believe I was driving over the speed limit"
Mem should be behind one of the windows it would give the audio context
0:15 nope, i'm out. i don't even want to hear what it sounds like.
one of my earliest memories is of the preschool magician levitating me because i gave him a rock that looked like a hamburger
I appreciate the lack of ceremony at the beginnings and end of each episode. Delicious.
i listened, i enjoyed, i will be back for more. lets go 10 episodes
I'd love if y'all did an episode in Virtual Magic Kingdom.
We also had a magician for a school rally once! There was another time though where there was a "don't smoke" rally and the guy pulled out a gross lung and said 'this is the lung of someone who smoked. look how awful it is. this is what smoking does to you.' and in retrospect it probably wasn't an actual lung because how did that guy just have that thing and keep it in good enough condition to show to elementary school students
this went by so fast, both the release being early and then the hour evaporated
Shout out to Austin still doing the shoutout bit
Austins just a chill guy (shrugs)
I am so interested in cords! I want to keep a collection of cords like Mem! I want to archive old cords for eternity! I want to know everything about Mem's cord organization! I love cords! I LOVE CORDS!

The cop laughed for a minute, then felt bad and let him go. So it turns out there is an answer to "why were you speeding" that can get you out of a ticket.

26:30 they ask obvious questions to get people to admit fault, that way they have a more free hand to write tickets or more.
Chiming in from east-central Illinois where half our 8th grade class had "holocaust day" in the mid/late 00s. The teachers put on nazi uniforms and spoke with german accents and made comments about kids who were twins. During passing periods they were all walking single file, looking down, and couldn't talk. Everyone was given a star badge at the start of the day and if they took them away it meant you died. It was meant to be an immersive day where kids could experience what it was like to be in the holocaust (lol)
Adults are wild

I've had sleep paralysis throughout my life and after a sleep study I realized I had a subset of narcolepsy so it might be worth looking into that. Not much I can do about it though, but they gave me things to avoid. I don't randomly fall asleep or have cataplexy but still have whatever it is that causes you to fall into the REM cycle asap when sleeping.
all the characters blink at the same time...
9:20 „whatever this is called”
it’s either flirting or harassment
A bigger maritime disaster was the MV Sewol passenger ferry sinking in South Korea
304 people died, including 250 students from the same high school
Also "South Korean law explicitly requires captains to remain on the ship during a disaster" it might be similar in italy
wow that is the most depressing thing ive read about today
According to Arnold & Itkin LLP (Lawyers specializing in maritime law)'s article "Does a Captain Have to Go Down with the Ship?" on their website: "There is no universal maritime law that states a captain must go down with their ship. Such a broad statement would not apply to every scenario, such as a situation where a vessel is sinking but all crew members and passengers have already been rescued. In that case, the captain would certainly have the right to get off the vessel before it was too late.
Most countries, however, have laws in place that establish a captain’s obligation to protect the safety of passengers and crew members. In South Korea, for example, a captain must remain on board until all passengers have been rescued. In Finland, a captain must do everything possible to save the passengers and crew and, unless their life is in immediate danger, must not abandon ship if there is reasonable hope that it could be saved. In the United States, there is no explicit law requiring a captain to remain on their ship, but they could face criminal charges if they acted with negligence or extreme disregard for human life in abandoning a vessel in distress or causing a maritime accident in the first place.
Schettino faced criminal charges because of his role in the initial grounding of the Costa Concordia as well as a host of other factors. [...] It was these things, along with Schettino’s abandonment of the vessel while there were still passengers on board, that led to his conviction. One year of his 16-year sentence was attributed to abandoning his passengers."
