What's up guys? My personal hell would probably be bottom half in lava, top half in below zero freezing temperatures, and thousands of hornets flying or swimming in both. Well, I watch the worst parts of my life played over and over again, but each time there was a black creature that got closer. What about you guys?

My personal hell would probably be... And you can't say here right now. A popsicle stick, infinitely long. My teeth are put down on it, and it is pulling through my teeth infinitely. It is pulling through my teeth infinitely. Simultaneously, I am...

receiving the torture that they would do to POWs in, um, to American POWs in Japan, where they would put bamboo shoots under their fingernails. That's another thing that's going on at the same time. Oh, and, um, why did they do that? And it's, it's effective ideas. Um, and at the same time,

I don't know. My parents are actively... It's like a repeating sort of clip of them decomposing, like that one guy from that one clip in Raider of the Lost Ark where he kind of melts the wax figure. Oh, yeah, he melts. My parents melting and then...

returning to life and then saying, "Honey, help us!" And then melting again. Oh, Jesus Christ, man. And then occasionally at random intervals, they gaslight you. Yeah, yeah, no, and that's the worst part of it all is the gaslighting. You gotta have that. Is a couple. And not only am I being gaslit, but I'm also being lit by gas.

On fire like I'm being literally gaslit while I'm being gaslit that I'm not being gaslit. Yeah, that's good I mean, that's not that's really bad. But like, you know what? I mean, that's good. Yeah, that's my personal help schlatt

Men. Men everywhere. Don't put me in a room with a bunch of men. Wait a second. I wouldn't like that. Naked men? Don't put me in a room with naked men. I would hate it. He knows that Hell is a big fan of this podcast. I would hate if you did that, Satan. Don't give me a whole bunch of naked men in a room. Horny naked men. Please, Satan. Welcome to Chuckle Sandwich.

word

Hey, everybody. Welcome to Chuckle Sandwich episode 42. Yay! Oh, yeah. This is... We're still in it, dude. Yeah, we're still going. We took a break for a while. We had an awesome episode back. And man, oh, man, are we excited to do that thing again where we're back for another episode. I didn't have this sentence planned out when I said it. Schlatt, keep going. Dude, it's episode 42 of Chuckle Sandwich, and you know what that means. 42 is the meaning of life. Oh.

Oh, true. A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. How many seconds must a man walk down? 42. Exactly. Perhaps. Or perhaps, how many seconds must one stare at the sun? 42. Perhaps. Personally, I always go longer. Yeah. And I have an update, by the way, on the staring at the sun saga. The sun starer saga. For those of you who are not filled in,

What is the context behind this terrible, terrible story? So my wonderful girlfriend, Grace's New Year's resolution was, of course, to stop staring at the sun. And last episode. So much. So much. Right. Because to do it all entirely would be preposterous. Right. And I brought this up last episode. I sort of poked a lot of fun at it.

Just like the sun and its scorching rays have poked a hole in my significant other's irises. And she has been non-stop receiving direct messages all this last week from sympathizers across the globe. So many people coming in and saying, "Oh my god, finally someone that understands. I've been staring at sun for hours every day since I was born."

And Grace calls me up and she says, hey, Charlie, what I just meant was like around sunset or something, man. And I have fucking like psychos in my DMs now. There are seriously people in here that are saying like, I'm so glad I feel seen right now. Like I see the sun for three hours a day. So there's just my girlfriend now is getting direct messages from like, I guess,

like half-blind people all around the globe that are like, I'm so glad that someone else understands my completely normal problem of looking at the sun for genuinely half the day. You know, Charlie, I have to say that the part...

That is a very important point that you're making, that she does it only during sunset. I feel like I just catfished insane people. Well, you kind of did a little bit, because when you originally said it, you made it sound like you're going on a walk with Grace at some point, and then all of a sudden you look over, and she is possessed by the sun, and she is just directly looking at it like, you're like, Grace? She starts howling and shrieking. Yeah.

She's like, she starts, she's just going, and you're like, Grace, snap out of it. She's like, where am I? Take me, take me back. And I'm like, what do you mean? Bring me, release me from my mortal. Bring me to the sun? She's the one person in the world that knows that all of the materials in the universe, gold, all those, all those elements came from the explosion of stars millions of years ago. I know what's in the center. I know what's in the center.

That star is my mother. She's going out to get food. The only sustenance I need is up there. And I just, so I, you know, I inflated the story a little as we do as entertainers. But the problem is, is I inflated the story and then now we have found a bunch of people that are

The story. They are the story. They are the story. Like, the actual embodiment of this extremely exaggerated tale you weaved. If these people are capable of staring at the sun for hours at a time, God knows what else they're capable of. And I'm so scared of what I've unleashed upon the world now. Seeing well, though, is something they don't do good.

It's true. They don't see. They don't probably think too much. I don't think they do. They at least have the ability to type, but they might be using voice to text. Yeah, they might be text to speech and...

I like to think that, you know how like in a horror movie, it occasionally cuts over to beast-o-vision, where it's like that, like the radial kind of, the radial blur, like you can see people's like blood. I love that you said beast-o-vision, a word I had never heard in my entire life. Like we were supposed to know. Yet I knew exactly.

I know exactly what you were talking about. Like, my mind immediately just went to Predator. Right? Like, you know what Beast-O-Vision is. I think everyone that's stared at the sun that long has, like, a variation of Beast-O-Vision. Where they know where the sun is, but little else. They hear heartbeat in their ears. Yeah, it's like... And it's also on, like, a handheld camera that's a little bit lower to the ground and moving...

Fast like in between like bushes and leaves like snakes between people's legs like like like veins on the outside of it like pulsating like if you've ever seen ash versus Evil Dead when the Evil Dead is coming and it's like that wind moving through the Just more prone to like sneaking around and just watching They've got the fucking witcher sense dude

Yeah, they're prone at creeping up at people's ankles and lunging just as they move out of the way. Oh my god. Tearing people through doors as their nails are trying to clasp on. Hold on. Yeah, what if we turn these sunlookers on, too? I'm really happy with Beast of Vision. Here's what we turn them into. We turn them into a nice big soup.

Yeah? Because your brain's already mush. It all comes back to the soup, baby. Exactly. I don't think it's necessarily as much about the soup. It's more so about Schlatt liking the way that he is able to say soup. I think you just like saying... Excuse me? I'm going to put it out there, dude. I just think that you like saying soup that way. Excuse me?

I'm not. Do you think I'm exaggerating? Do you think I'm purposefully enunciating the word soup? Do you think he's doing that forcefully? You know, dude, you did it again just now. I got to say, there's no way that you're saying soup. There's no way in your normal life you say soup that way.

Oh, I'm saying it's soup by normal. Slatt, there's no fucking way that you go around and you say, hey, can I get a nice warm cup of tomato soup? Never in my life, Ted, have I ever walked up to somebody and asked for a soup. I'd always make it myself with a nice broth, maybe even a miso soup. Oh, a nice broth? You're trying to tell me you've made miso soup before? Why don't you stew on that? Yeah, I've made miso soup before. All right. All right. I've reset at the sound of the bell.

You ever have the bell ring and then the teacher's like, you leave when I dismiss you. The bell doesn't dismiss you. I dismiss you. And you wrap a fucking rope around their neck and hang them from the fucking ceiling. You ever have the teacher... I related it first and then I stopped relating. Ring the bird and then say Blackbird Volcano Epsilon 9 as your eyes roll back into your head. What?

Can you say that again? You know what I'm talking about? And then they hit that bell about three more times, and you feel like you have a mission. And then you wake up on the side of the road with no clothes, but somehow a car. That's a weird way to wake a sleeper agent, Charlie. I thought all they needed was, like, fucking blueberry pie or some shit. Who do you think you are, blueberries?

And who do you think I am? That's a reference from a Rock and Jump slash Freddie Wong video of which, Schlatt, you got to... Oh, we had a good day a couple days ago, Ted. Yeah, we did. I got him. I got him. You killed the fly? I got him. I just clapped him. I clapped him.

You see him on my head? It's out of focus enough that there could not be a fly. Oh, nope. There it is. That's good. I got to say...

I hope you don't mind, Charlie. We'd love to talk about this, especially because there's a potential of this person being a guest in the future. Some pretty damn likely is going to be a guest in the future on Chuckle Sandwich. But, you know, Slad and I. Now that we've written them in the fucking chuckle note by saying it live. We are going to nerd out for a second here, Charlie. I hope you don't mind. Because me and Ted are big fans. Basically, you know this whole Twitch meta. I'm being exclusive.

You know, this whole Twitch meta of streaming copyrighted TV shows. Pokimane did it. She put Avatar in the title as if Viacom would not see it.

And then she got banned. Then she had articles in the 24-hour news cycle. And then she comes back with a bigger stream than ever before, you know? Like, because it's news. It's big when you get banned for insane copyright infringement. Post-streamed the entirety of Naruto. No Baruto, but Naruto. He did the fucking shunin exam or whatever the fuck. And then he starts streaming Death Note.

Last episode of Death Note he gets banned. Boom. Gone for a month. Articles everywhere. This is nothing but good for him. But it's going to ruin. It's going to ruin Twitch. Anyways, I decided I'd be the responsible one. I love Video Game High School. As you are always. Video Game High School is my bread and butter, as they say. And I knew that there was a chance...

For me to get permission to do it. So I just tweeted it at the creator of the show, Freddie Wong. This is a YouTube series, by the way, that's been going, that happened, you know. Years ago. Almost a decade ago. It's been going on. Wake up. Wake up. Blueberry pie. Blueberry pie. Blueberry pie. No, but.

But it's been going, it went for a bit. My favorite thing on YouTube by far. Three seasons. It was a show about some kid who goes to a video game high school and I was watching it around high school and I was sad that I didn't go to a high school that cool. Yeah. Yeah.

And I tweeted at Freddie Wong. Jimmy Wong, his brother, who plays Ted in the show, saw it. He doesn't play me. He plays Ted Wong in the show. Ted Wong in the show, yes. Son of Freddie Wong, who plays Freddie Wong in the show. And they were like, yeah, dude, stream it. And so I spent...

the past couple days streaming video game high school this my favorite shit ever and then freddie wong fucking comes on and starts like talking about the episode we have freddie wong on the stream he doesn't just like he just he just shows up he just shows up out of nowhere he just joins my dc and in austin austin texas freddie wong walks through in the door and he's like hey man it's me freddie wong and then there's a applause i don't even know where they came

from. And then all of a sudden, Freddie Wong reaches out of my computer screen and says, let's go, pulls me in. And there I am in the video game of high school. And he gives me a slice of blueberry pie. But just to add a little bit to that, though, I've been a big fan of Freddie Wong for a

part of the reason why i originally got into doing filmmaking in the first place and i was interested in editing and vfx and all that growing up since middle school since i was in seventh grade which is a photo you ted with this guy yeah there's and you are very young and scott we can throw this up on screen there is a photo of me at 2013 paxi he's taking a photo with freddie wong uh

And, you know, I've been a, this is someone that I've been. Scott, can you put my head over there too? I'm a really big fan and I want to project real quickly. Can you put my face right? Charlie is also a big fan of Freddie Wong as well. We're all, all three of us are fans. As you can see, actually that's Schlatt in that image too. He's right there next to Freddie Wong. Yeah, I'm in the corner. I'm just a little shorter in this image for some reason. I have my growth spurt later.

So I see Schlatt, you know, having interactions on Twitter. Like I opened up Twitter one day and Schlatt's just shooting the shit on Twitter with Freddie Wong. And I'm like, what the fuck, man? I'm pissed. I've been, I'm tweeting. I've replied to Freddie Wong's tweets so many times through the years. No response. And Schlatt, all Schlatt needs to do is, hey, I want to watch your show. Your, your, your copyrighted artistic material for my own personal game. And he's like, oh yeah, man. Sure. Yeah.

I'm like, what the fuck do I got to do? He doesn't talk like that. He doesn't talk like Mickey Mouse. I'm sorry, Freddie Wong. But so I'm like, God damn, this is really, really cool. And then I'm on the shitter at one point. I get a call from Schlatt on the phone and I'm like, hey, Schlatt. He's like, Ted, what are you doing right now? I'm like, well, I'm pooping. This is a real conversation that we had. And he says, I'm going to be streaming video game high school and I'm going to get Freddie Wong's going to come on and.

you know, if you, there's like 15 minutes. Yeah. And I was like, well, shit, you know, I was playing Minecraft with, with Shay and she was getting excited. Cause you know, she was, you know, we were going to go to the end dimension and fight the inner dragon. And I was like, hold on, let's put this on a pause here. I got to get on the call and, you know, talk to Freddie. But she understood, but no, it was, it was really, really cool.

i thought it was great we watched the episode he provided some never before seen insight into you know some of the some of the aspects of the show how they shot certain things what the inspiration was behind certain characters and names

Very cool time. Very cool time. Yeah, no, it was great. It was great. We were so... We kept chatting him up so much, the chat started getting... At least me, I was chatting him up probably a little too much. Chat was getting pissed. They were getting... They would weird champ Ted any time he opened his mouth at some point. Yeah.

Well, at a certain point, they just straight up started typing in chat, which is, you know, if you can get a Twitch chat, like a real Twitch frog chat to start actually typing out words, okay, you've really, you've actually... Different words each? The gears in their brains started turning for the first time in a couple hours, so it was impressive. In which the first thing they said was, shut up, Ted, I want to watch the show. But yeah, no, it was really, really great. But, you know,

Schlatt, you beat the DMCA thing. I did. You beat it out. I did. The only one who cared. Man, streamers... Well, hold on. Okay, is this a controversial take that I think is... Okay, okay, okay. Sorry, Ted. Sorry. I just wanted to mention, before we leave the Freddie Wong thing, though, I want to hear, you know, because Schlatt and I have gushed on our own about Freddie Wong, but Charlie, obviously, you know, you weren't there for it, but you also are a fan of, you know, the rocket jump and Freddie Wong and stuff. The earliest video I remember watching of them is the one...

Called like Fireball or something. Where it was like the first time I'd ever seen like a fire VFX done really cool. And it was like someone making a fucking fireball in their hand. It was like this medieval skit or something. Yep. The dude climbs the mountain, finds the book, learns the skill, and then becomes Mario. I don't know if it was like middle school or high school. Or something.

But that kind of shit, yeah. I like that stuff. The VFX channels, the Corridor Digital stuff, that's what got me started. And I got a shitty fucking green screen and did all these terrible things that'll never see the light of day. Like Equals 4. Like what? Equals 4. Equals 4 is one of them. Equals 4 is like, Equals 4 is bad enough that I won't show you, but good enough that I'll tell you it exists. That's kind of what I'm talking about. You posted a clip of it on Twitter.

Not a clip, a screenshot of it. Yeah, like a four second clip. Like if that's the most I'm willing to give you, that's what it said. But you know, like that, that, that kind of shit. And even though they're all, they're all terrible, like I wouldn't, I wouldn't be here if, you know, I didn't go through that. And it's, it's mostly thanks to those kinds of videos, you know, that I watched very religiously and, uh,

And yeah, no, that was like how I even started watching YouTube, man. That shit is so cool to me. I've never watched DGHS though, like full disclosure. I was behind on that and still haven't seen it. For lack of a better term, Freddie Wong is our YouTube grandfather without knowing that he was. He birthed us.

So that's not tip. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we are. Yeah. We came out of his womb. Yes. And yeah. And it's sort of like, you know, we and now it's like we want to crawl back. I don't know. I don't know. I'll tell you where this is going. Okay. Me pounding on a bunch of Twitch streamers for being so dis like disloyal.

irresponsible with their content that it's devolved into watching hundreds of episodes of TV shows and just poking that nest waiting for Twitch to inevitably impose site-wide changes that hurts everyone except the people at the top who will be fine either way.

So here's the thing I don't understand with Twitch and that I never really have. And I don't want to like make assumptions or jump to conclusions, but this is from an outside kind of perspective. And yeah, you know, I make content, but not this kind. It just feels like with Twitch, you really do just go.

grind it out, man. And the easier it is, the better. And I feel like this watching show meta is just so hollow, right? And I just don't understand what's gained out of this for anyone. It is, but here's the thing, man. I've been streaming on my alt, twitch.tv slash shalat. My first stream there, I played Mario Kart.

Had a good time, put in a lot of effort into that stream. I was very lively. I felt winded at the end, like I do after I put in effort onto something. And then the next day I watched Video Game High School, an entire season of it, and I checked my Twitch stats. I have like 50% more viewers. And usually, you know, you reach a point on the stream, because we've all streamed. We know that the viewers...

Jump up very steep at the beginning. It peaks like maybe 30 minutes to an hour in, and then it kind of peters out. Video game high school, me streaming React. The whole time just kept going up, up, up, up, up. Yeah. Stayed constant, constantly rising.

I'm just watching a show, man. This is the lowest ever thing. And streamers only do it because it gets views. And people complain about it. But at the same time, this is what people want to watch, evidently. It works. I mean, it's tough because you can't prevent people from doing it until they literally can't, I think is somewhat...

what's going on there. You can't expect that every single person on a platform is going to act in entirely good faith. I don't even, I was curious about toasts when toast, when he did it, I was, I thought he was doing it as a, when I read about it and saw it on Twitter, I thought he was doing it as a bit, a bit watching the entirety of Naruto. That's, I thought, I thought he was doing it as a bit. That's a long,

I thought he was doing it as a bit to make fun of the meta, but then I was... Oh, I guess he wasn't? I guess he was just straight up having been doing that? It was a really good bit. After I finished watching the entire season of Naruto with him, I really laughed hard at the end. Maybe I'm just being naive. I was like, man, I can't believe people do that shit. I was like, oh, that was a good bit. Maybe I'm just being naive then.

No, no, no. I understand. I feel like it could be veiled as a bit, to be honest with you. But at the end of the day, I don't think it changes what's being... I don't even want to say made, because it's not even... You know what I mean? So are you saying... Is this like a moment that we can send out to the press right now? Charlie Slamsicle thinks that Disguised Toast is a...

fucking liar hidden behind a veil of untruths he did say that yeah hit publish on that I guess put it in the history books those weren't exactly my words but you know yeah

Yeah. Well, they kind of want... They'll forget about it in a day anyways. I'll be fine. I'll be fine. I can go back to... I've got a guy at Newsweek and we can have this posted today before even the podcast goes out. I mean... Yeah. I mean, I just don't know. I just don't know about that. I just... If I can go back on the record, I thought it was a really good bit.

personally when naruto and sasuke were going at it that was probably one of my favorite bits and and your favorite part was having the streamer in the corner there being like ah oh yeah oh yeah he was there he was there too um for the for the bet um yeah yeah man i mean i don't know it's i mean react content is one thing right you can sit on stream i i do enjoy a good uh

a good react stream every now and then i mean i'm not even gonna lie i was watching trainwreck stream masterchef years ago when he would get for it from every other streamer and now look like like look what the has happened now yeah dude trainwrecks he's been on twitter and he's just been he's been chewing out everyone over that which i think i think it's funny i mean it's it's you know i

It's tough because with streaming, I kind of get what the pull is towards doing that because it is hard. And part of the reason why I haven't returned to streaming is because it's hard to take. It takes up a lot of your mental space to be able to plan out like multiple streams a week in which you can have.

like a fully entertaining situation the whole time. And it is so easy. And Ted, that's why clearly people don't. I wanted to come back to streaming every Friday and I've missed half of them thus far because I just don't, I'm not able to like plan out something I'd be proud of. Yeah. It's like planning out a video except that you got to like make sure that, cause anytime that like, even when I did the thing, when I was, uh,

When I was crashing Bilzo's channel where I hacked him, I got his stream key and I streamed on Bilzo's channel.

And even then when I was doing that, it was like I was doing it through fucking OBS and I didn't have any like scene set up or anything. So I had like like two scenes I was switching in between. And even then I was like, shit, I don't. After I had done my initial bit, I was like, oh, fuck, what am I going to do for the rest of like the half an hour? I'm going to stick around here. And then I started like feeling like I did back where I was like, shit, I don't really know.

what to do about that. You fully disassociate, your soul leaves your body and your body looks up Naruto. I get it. And then you leave, you go shit, and you play Naruto with just your chair in the face cam. Fully husk out. So yeah, I guess what I was originally saying is I get how easy it is when it is your normal job to basically be able to take a break day and also be working at the same time. That is like

very attractive option. And be making so much money. And make a lot of money, baby. And getting so many more viewers than you normally get. Mm-hmm.

And playing ads on top of the content that you're watching. You deserve it, baby, because this is a good bit. Yeah. Charlie. No, sorry. I actually hate it. I'll fully go on the record and say I hate this shit. I will say when I went on Schlatt's show and did the React thing on OTAK Reacts, that was fun, but only because we were looking for bits every time. I don't know how many of them... There was a lot that got cut out because there was a sponsor, and there were some...

dubious things committed on set. A lot of things that won't... They wouldn't make it to TV. They wouldn't make it to YouTube. They wouldn't make it to whatever site. Seriously, guys. It was bad. And that was fun. But I just...

I don't know. I think maybe it's a fucking integrity thing or something, but it just – I really don't like it, man. And maybe it's because we started on this kind of content, like the Freddie W stuff, right, where it's so high effort. And, I mean, I suffer from everything I make. I want to make it better than the last thing and bigger. And it's just – I think if I was streaming daily, I'd probably lose that. Yeah.

you know, like, like I'm sure that that's what happens. It's just exhausting. Right. And it becomes a job and it's, it's, you gotta, it's clocking in hours, right? Like even in the contract, it's clocking in hours. Um, yeah, but I don't know. And like Schlatt said, it's a success is a, is a fucking compromise. Like even on Twitch and sometimes not even a compromise. Sometimes you're just selling a little bit of your soul at a time, baby. Um,

But yeah, like the Mario Kart stream, you probably had a fucking blast, right? I bet. Yeah, it was a good time. Like I went live yesterday, actually. And I saw a friend, YakoCMN, who does these video game essays that I really, really like. It's kind of the only content I really watch on YouTube. And he went live with like a fun video game tier list and shit. And there were all these good bits.

And I thought of a couple and went through all my things and I went live with like an hour and a half kind of joking stream where I was like fighting an uphill battle with chat because I put Fortnite first. And so everything afterwards was either above or below Fortnite. Um,

It's like I was getting so much fucking shit for it. But like that was that was so fun. And yeah, it didn't really even do that well. But afterwards, I felt really good. Like I felt happy and I didn't look at, you know, the numbers or whatever. But I don't think. Yeah, it's not it's not that game for a lot of people. I saw this. I saw a clip from the Anthony Padilla interview with with good old Tubbo.

And apparently what like Tubbo and Phil do when they're streaming is that they turn, like one of the things that really helps them is that they just turn off the viewer count. Good. They should. Yeah. I love that. They just don't look at it, which is like,

Seems like a no-brainer almost but at the same time it's like how do you avoid it because you know that after that stream ends you're going straight to the stream summary and seeing how that's course yeah, yeah, but In the moment it definitely can psych you out. Yeah, this is weird Like people will just be like oh wow look how many viewers you have and they'll just put the number in the chat And you see any like oh, well, thanks Thanks, that's less than I thought Yeah, yeah

That's why you see so many streamers have like, do not say the viewer count in their rules, like explicitly listed. Don't fucking say it. Yeah. Because it does. Like, dude, imagine this is your job and your entire livelihood is built off of how many people you have watching. And then you're doing something that you might particularly enjoy. But every time you glance over, it's like, oh, 100 people less. Oh, 100 people just left.

There goes a thousand. And also, your success is a direct reflection in your head, at least, of how entertaining you are to this group, right? Exactly. So every time people leave, that means, like, am I being less entertaining? And that's not really a recipe to be funnier, right? If you're just like... Yeah. Hold on. And then, you know, you put on a little TV show, and you sit there, and you do nothing.

Oh, it keeps going up. Maybe I am pretty funny. Maybe this is a good bit. This is a message out to all those people that watched my last stream that I did on Twitch and left early. I hope you feel real bad about that.

I hope you get a special place on the Schlatt fan bus going to the portal to hell before it closes. Now it's a bus. It's not just a cart anymore. It's like a tour bus of just people waving flags with Schlatt's face on it. Dude, we've got fast pass set up, man. It's fucking crazy. They hit the fucking nitro on the bus.

Can we get a bus and hook it up with Nitro? Is Nitro a real thing? It's real. It's gotta be, right? It's gotta be. My heart just can't take it if it's not. Does it make the blue fire? A little bit.

Okay. Are you speaking from experience? I watch F9. Wait, is this just like a construct that someone woke up and made one day? No, I'm telling you, it is real. It is real. The concept of nitrous or like whatever the fuck that comes out the back, that little fire thing, it does make your car go faster, I think. It's the fast fire. Yeah. It makes the fit...

I've seen button... I mean, you see these modded out supers and shit with a little launch pad. It looks like you're ready to drop a nuclear bomb. You have to flip up the glass lid, hit the red button, and then turn the key in the passenger. So turn the key, too, and use the code word like it's a nuke. Pull out your authenticator app and type in the numbers before they unload. But did we have anything...

Fucking nitrous, man. Love it. Oh, I guess we're just speeding past this bit, Ted. Yeah, I do have something else. I do have a little something else. How about the DMCA?

No, I'm done with that. Oh, okay. I'm done. Don't stream TV shows, guys. Yeah, don't do it. Self-explanatory. Be better, like us. I wanted to ask, though, what do you guys think is going to happen? Because I see a lot of people on Twitter that are like, this is going to be adpocalypse 2, except it's not YouTube. It's Twitch this time. And they rap it, too. Ooh.

All I'm saying, guys, is that YouTubers get in trouble for playing a second of copyrighted material. Maybe streaming hundreds of hours of TV shows is not going to last. And maybe it's not the best idea to...

kind of like poke that hornet's nest because you know how uh how fucking awful all these labels and studios are that that license this content especially so close to the whole music thing the music dmca situation too it's very close to when that was happening like people were freaking out about the clips and the people's you know channels getting like strikes for that and then man

Now everyone's watching fucking full length TV shows made by major companies.

It's just not a good idea. You can do whatever you want. Do whatever I want. I get that it's easy content. I get that there's more viewers. I get that you have a contract with Twitch. You have to stream a certain amount of hours and streaming TV shows is a very easy way to get there. But it's not going to last forever. And everyone is going to have consequences because of it. It definitely smells like there's going to be a reaction like

It could be smaller than this, but it could get to the level of a reaction of Rhea and fucking Napster or something like that. Hopefully not. Hopefully not. I just don't think anyone's going to stop until, you know what I mean? No one will stop. They're made to stop. No one is going to stop. The Met is not going to stop. That's just how it works, man. That's how it works.

That's just how it works. I've always, you know, I keep, I've always wanted to put trance 009 sound system dreamscape in a video, right? Because it's, I just want to, but I can't. You can't. I guess copyright. And how dare you for even suggesting you could. Maybe Twitch will have some kind of version of content ID or like be forced to make it

Um, but that will suck. Someone should make a, um, you know what someone should do? Someone should make a Spotify ask player for like, uh, and you can plug in all your license shit and you can just look shit up and like instantly queue it up and play it based on like whatever. That'd be sick. Um,

Like a platform that like... Yeah, because I'm terrified to go on Spotify on stream. I don't know what's copyright. I don't know what's not. I don't know what's going to get me in trouble. I usually go for video game OSTs because they're pretty good. Yeah. The whole problem with like all of the DMCA stuff is that like even like it just kind of speaks to how young even the streaming world is because even in a coffee shop,

A coffee shop needs to purchase, like, a licensing package. They don't do that, though.

No, like literally if you walk into a Dunkin' Donuts and it's playing music, that music... Oh, Dunkin' would be in trouble. But like a local mom and pop shop? No fucking way. Okay, sure. I will say. The deli I worked at just blasted a fucking local radio station. And again, we do get away with on Twitch. I have played copyright music. I'm no saint, right? I definitely have too. In general, it's the egregious ones where you kind of...

I don't know. It's always it's for me. It's always to set the mood or to add to the content or something. I don't know. Whatever. I don't know. The music isn't the content. We're all we're all. Yeah. Fucking hell beasts. Yeah. No, Ted, just out of that. I remember learning about this, too. And like my mom works in a bakery and she actually had someone. It's really, really rare. But she had someone come in.

Oh? Yeah, yeah. And be like, oh, you got a license for this music you play? Which is super rare because it's like fucking small town in New England. Like, were they actually an official person that came in and was like, do you have a license to play music in your bakery? I don't remember the full story, but I do remember at some point it had to change or something like that. That's weird.

Yeah, I know. I know. Because I learned about this and I was like, I don't know how this ever gets enforced. And usually it doesn't. Well, it's definitely hard. I mean, I imagine for anything of a chain variety or stuff like that. But I mean, that's sort of the point. I mean, it's like any sort of... In any sort of major company, like this generally gets enforced. But the fact that we're comparing a local bakery to an Amazon-owned mega company, one of the largest streaming platforms, is like...

It's clear that like one is... Well, companies are people too. It's clear that... Sorry, can you tell my stance on this stuff? Companies are people too. And Amazon Jeff Bezos, he's kind of a cool guy.

Companies are people too, and more than you. And Elon Musk, he's a bit of a memer on Twitter, and I think that makes him really relatable. I have liked his memes. He memes like a person. I could relate to him and his billions. Oh, shit. But yeah, I mean, there you go, DMCI.

That's we talked about it Hey, you know what check out this segue because it's really bad. Yeah DMCA see Charlie me I saw something the other day I saw something the other day going around pass it around and Ted was

If you guys have noticed, Ted this entire episode has not been wearing his glasses. It's true. All you listeners, love you to death. I'm not wearing my glasses. It's true. And I can still say that is Ted Nevison. I can look at his facial structure. I can look at his bones. I can look at his ligaments. I can look at his flesh. I can look at his cartilage. My choking, my juicy. I can look.

Dude, don't... If you use the word shulking like that again, I will shulk out on you. You got mad about the shulk, but I immediately after said chussy? Oh, chussy is fine. Oh, okay. Chussy's good. Okay. Ted shared this meme, and I think I saw it on Twitter before, of this image of... This thing has been going around where people are like...

that this Clark Kent effect is real because I look so different without my glasses on. We're a podcast, so I'm going to make this quick. I'm going to look away. I'm going to take them off. I'm going to look back at the screen and I want to hear your guys' opinions on this. Look at Charlie now. Process him. Look at me out. Take it in. Close your eyes. I'm going to turn around. Take them off.

Put them down. Don't open your eyes. Gonna collect myself. Open your eyes. I like this. Open your eyes. Oh, Jesus Christ, man. See? You changed your face, though. You changed the face you made, but your eyes... I don't like that. It does appear like your face shape changes. So...

I think I'm like a... People are saying that I shit. Dude, dude, stop, stop. Okay, close your eyes again. I can't do it if you're looking at me. Close your eyes, close your eyes. I can't change, I can't change if you're looking at me. Close your eyes, close your eyes. They're closed, they're closed. Okay. Oh, wow, he's back. Hey, what's up, guys? Oh, Charlie, what's up, man? It hurts to do it a lot in quick succession. Why does that happen to you? What did you guys think? I blacked out for a minute. Why does that happen to your face?

It's because, you know what, it's because the bars on his glasses are so thick, those sidebar things, and then it covers this area of his temples and stuff. And it sort of like... Yeah? And so it changes the way that you perceive his face, so then when you take the glasses off, there's just so much more surface area that is now visible, so much more skin, so much more choke...

to be able to see. So, it seems like Charlie changes form. See, the thing is, I can't tell because I can't look in a mirror while I have my glasses off because I can't see anything. Wait, are you kidding me? You can't? No, in OBS right now, I cannot see myself if I take my glasses off. I straight up can't see. Why don't you get contacts? Have you considered trying to get contacts? No.

I think that you should get contacts. If I had contacts and people got used to seeing me without my glasses, I couldn't. I like having the knowledge that I could take my glasses off and probably like put my hair up and like save a dog. You know what I mean? And no one would know.

Why would anyone have a problem with you saving a dog in which you'd need to change it? Well, then they'd know that it was me saving the dog. Well, you wouldn't be able to see the dog. Are you telling me that if you had your glasses on and you saw a dog in need, you would not save it? You'd be like, fuck that dog. I can't let people know that Charlie Slimsicle went out of his way to save a dog. What an asshole. Yeah, I'd see a dog and I'd say, it looks like this is a job for it. I'd take him off. Where'd the dog

go where'd the dog go um um okay well where'd the dog do it i here's what i'll suggest to you charlie i think that you can make a lot of money off of this okay this little situation you've got with your with your glasses list for my face and my fucking dna yeah yeah i think that you could um get contacts and then you know take your glasses off

And then do release a calendar of shirtless Charlie in jeans with no glasses. Would I say who I am? Building birdhouses. Okay.

Wouldn't be able to see him. No, but you need to get contacts so you can see him. Oh, I get contacts. So you can do it, but just like it would just be an entire calendar. Carpenter calendar. 12 photos, 12 incredible photos of Charlie Slimesicle shirtless in Levi's jeans. It's like black and white Levi's commercial building birdhouses and then always looking directly into the camera. Oh, I don't like that.

Why not? I will say that. Well, I don't know. I like the look is what I didn't like. I like this look. Choking out. Choking out with Charlie. Twenty twenty three. Yeah. A choked year. I like a year. A year spoken in chokes. That's good. It sounds like you're going to do it. It sounds like this is a commitment. Yeah. I mean, dude, to be honest with you, I'm a little I'm choking a little right now.

You're chulking a little right now? I'm- yeah, I've got a little bit of a chulk going. Th- this more so- this sounds like you're looking down as you say that. It sounds like you're just saying you've got a- like an erection. I just- I've got a little bit of a- yeah, I'm- dude, I've got a little chulk right now. It just sounds like you've got a boner. Why are you saying- I'm chulking a little bit. Why are you looking down and then saying that you're chulking? It sounds like you're saying you have a boner. No, it's just wanted. It's just wanted. That's what- There's a little chulk happening. That's what- it causes boner. Wow.

Dude, I'm rock chulk right now. I am. What? I'm chulking out. Oh, man. Either way. I think that would be a great business idea. I think you'd make a shit ton of money, Charlie. But yeah. I'd rather just stream Naruto, though. Yeah. No, I get it. I do get it.

Shalette, what's your magazine or your calendar going to be? You can't tell if you're about to laugh or throw up. It's always a mixture of both. Who knows, dude? I mean, it'd have Jambo photos probably.

You'd have Jambo? Yeah, I'd be Jambo. You'd be Jambo. I'm not going to go on the calendar. No, it'd be my cat Jambo on the calendar. You'd get like a big kind of suit, like a big kind of hairy suit. Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Sort of like a furry suit. Or maybe I would do like, you remember Big Time Rush? How James Diamond always used to have these weird headshots of him like as a construction worker or something. I'd do like costumed photo shoots. I'd be like one of the village people.

Yeah. Oh, that's good. What I imagined in my head when you said you were going to do a Jambo shoot and you would be Jambo is what you said. I didn't say I would be Jambo. Well, you kind of said it. No, I didn't say it. So what I think I'm imagining... I think you look good as Jambo, man. But can I paint this picture for you, Schlatt? Yes. Imagine, like, you know Mario when he puts on the Tanooki suit and he's, you know, in that suit...

I hear it's very nice and warm in there. The tail, that is basically like an animal suit, but his face is cut out. I imagine that. An animal suit? It's a schlatz in a similar suit, but it's for an orange tabby. A similar suit? And he's going like this. Oh, God, dude. And he's next to Jambo, and it's just a whole 12 months of the year. You're going to, no, no. The edits are already there. The edits are already there, man.

Oh, man. I think we should put you in a soup every year. I don't want to go in a soup bowl. Oh, yeah. Like in a bowl of soup like it's a hot tub, like hanging out. January, tomato. February, clam chowder. No more months. The last one was gross. And then I think that my calendar, I think that my calendar would be just me with swords, dude. Oh, that's fucking awesome, dude.

You gotta get a sword, man. I have a sword and it's freaking so cool. Me with swords, but the focus is like the swords and then also like I'm wearing pants that only reveal my calves. So it's like a calf reveal. And they're just showing my epic calves and my swords. And I think that'll be a really good selection of various calendars that we can release this year. I mean, we're already into January, but

So, Tad, what if every month you were, like, doing a spin attack and you got, like, a little closer every month? You know what I mean? And the December is just you died for a Dark Souls. That's exactly what I was thinking. That's fucking awesome. So, yeah, this...
