Guys, we are here, and we are so excited. This is my favorite episode of the year, and I have a lot of people, this is our last episode of the year in the studio before our break, and it is our annual SoundBite Tournament. We honor... Now, our two previous...
Oh, by the way, today's episode is sponsored by my favorite e-commerce website, Adam and Eve. Did you know that they sell lotions and bath and body work stuff at Adam and Eve, my favorite e-commerce? Let's go. I want to do a read for them.
It's about, like, shampoo. Anyway, we honor basically the greatest of all time. The first winner of all time was... What was it?
Was it... I know 5% won last year. Shout out to their family. Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
David Guaita. Shout out to his family. He was our first grand champion, and well-deserved. And 5% swept the whole thing, even though there was an embargo.
But here today, we are here to choose our new champion. And is it a coincidence that FIFA World Cup is happening at the same time? The real World Cup is happening here today on the HGPU. There's no such thing as open.
I was going to say that. There isn't. Also, I want to give a big thank you to some psycho in our chat. Let me open the chat.
He's been going gangbusters on the gifted subs. What's his name? His name's really 100 DPI? Yes, sir.
Why is the internet, like, not loading for me? Oh, you've got to connect to the right network, which I'm not going to say on. Copy that. Yeah, so thank you to 100 DPI, who's gifted.
Basically, everyone in the chat, 800 gifted. I don't know, man. Thank you, bro. That's crazy, dude.
You immediately, before the show even started, became our prime Saudi benefactor. I think you dethroned our Saudi benefactor. Well, we got some stuff at the top of the show, and then we're just going to get into it. You know these episodes are long and hard fought.
I got to say, there's some really heavy hitters in this year's bracket. Unbelievable. I know a lot of people have been expressing some favorites. Do we want to discuss favorites, potentially?
Do you have any you want to? I'm curious to, like, review everything you guys put together, because my memory of this year is, like, half non-existent. I don't know, like, mom fog and, like, pregnancy. It's a real thing.
Yeah, I got you. Also, you're only here once a week, where we're getting that shit hammered in our brains. But I still live by soundbites, and repeat them at home, and think it. That's good.
That's what real fans do at the show. But actually, we even have honorable mentions, because we couldn't... We had such a hard time narrowing it down to 32 for the main bracket. We have 25 honorable mentions that we'll go through.
We have a video package from them, actually. A very nice in-memoriam for... That's what we're going to do. Yeah, so before we get started with that, I want to say that if you're trying to buy some Teddy Fresh before Christmas, you could probably still do it.
But it's getting close. If you're outside America, it's not happening. I would not take Ethan's statements of Teddy Fresh as actual thing. It's not a guarantee.
But it's a good shot. I'll just be honest. I mean, you'll probably get it before the 24th. Because our support team have the actual info that I did not know you would want to mention.
I could have asked them what the real date is. I'm giving you, like, a non-committal... We have a lot going on. I have a headache.
We've got kids. I'm hungry. Listen, kids are good for anything. At least it's getting out of whatever you want.
I mean, that's the benefit of having kids. You can never deny it. Kids love Hitler. Where did that one come from?
That would be Nick Flentis. Literally saying, when I was a kid, kids loved Hitler. Like when I was a kid. Kids love Hitler.
Yeah, remember the days? The good old days. Where the fuck you grow up, brother? Yeah, but there's all kinds of fun stuff.
So, gift ideas. Maybe we'll show up. Maybe we won't. Depends how we're feeling that day.
But the tapestry jacket. All kinds of fun stuff is here. I love this one. I was wearing it yesterday.
Emotional support by Gary Kennedy. That's hot. Thank you, Will. You're in the bracket this year, by the way.
That's hot. This one is awesome. Still available. Beautiful piece.
Absolutely love this one. Lots of love for this piece. And this one. Gorgeous.
That's all happening at TeddyFresh.com. This is when Brett Rockman was rocking. Brett. Did I say it right?
No. You cannot say it right. His name doesn't make sense. He's right backwards.
I think you got it backwards. Brettman? Brettman's not a name. Clearly it is.
It's his name. Rock. Wait, what I call Brett? That's Brett's name.
Brett's name. Brett on his own is a different name. It's a totally different thing. And a different vibe.
He was slaying in our winter collection. We posted today. I'll show you. Here he is.
Wait, that's not Rockman. That's Mega Man. His original name is Rockman in Japan. Oh, guys, I guess I need to get signed into Instagram next.
Oh, Lord. But yes, he was rocking it, and I love him. And also Cam was. Oh, yeah, Cam posted was fire.
Or he closed Instagram. He looked great in that one, dude. Thank you. Very nice.
I'm humbled you guys let me do that. Thank you very much. Hey, it's our pleasure. Come on, though.
Cameron is very nice. He's very nice. He really is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, Cameron. That is true.
I was confused because that laptop is locked into Instagram, but apparently all of us got logged out of the account. Hopefully we can get banned. Oh. Because I just wanted to pull it up on my computer.
I'm also logged out here. I don't know what happened, so. I guess I did something. You know what it is?
Wait, are you an AB? No, I'm logged out through. I know. I know we changed something the other day.
Okay, okay, good. I'm so long. We didn't get hacked. By the way, so I want to say, though, this is our last episode in the studio for the year.
Yeah, so crazy. Tuesday is our big live show, which we are telling. I just want to advance on the site. It's live for everybody.
Do it live! It starts at 7 or 8. It starts at 8. 8 Pacific.
It's going to be at an unusual time. It's going to be on Tuesday at 8 Pacific. In the evening. So it's going to be pretty late.
It's going to be worth staying up for. If you want to watch it live, it's going to be on the channel anyway. But it's going to be so much freaking fun. We have got so much food and fun stuff planned.
And that will be our fun show. I'm crazy. I'm going to make a little PSA about the live show for those who are planning on attending in person who got tickets. Thank you.
This is the breaking news. Highly recommend taking some sort of rideshare or public transportation to get to the venue. The parking situation there is a little rough. So there is places to park.
But a lot of it is street parking in a neighborhood nearby and stuff. There's no big lot. The venue has cell phones. There's some around.
But it's kind of a busy area. Highly recommend taking an Uber or Lyft or something like that. I need to get out of the street. There's also a subway stop.
It's very close by. Directly across the street, right? It's like right there. Also, if you want to buy merch, it's going to be cash only.
We tried to get a POS system. We are. I'm sorry about that. We are talking about doing a sample sale.
Oh, yeah. Did you say we're going to talk about it? Yeah, no. We're going to have a sample sale for our live show.
We have a ton of samples and pop productions of Teddy Fresh stuff. And we have a ton of it just in storage here. So we're going to bring a bunch of it. And we're just going to have a big bag so everyone can just pay like 20 bucks or something and take whatever they want.
Something like that. Fire sale. Let's fill it up. But I think we'll do that.
We're going to do more live shows. Assuming I don't fall off the stage like Kelsey Grammar or something. I think it'll be fun. So anyway, I'm excited to see you guys all on Tuesday.
Wow. It's coming up. I can't believe it. Yes, sir.
Yeah, but also, I wanted to make one point clear to our members. I will be continuing to see you next Tuesday podcast through the break. So it's a better time to be a member than ever. I'm not fully abandoning you guys, only partially.
Right. And then we'll be back mid-January. So that's that. But enough about that stuff.
We've got the show of the year here to get to. Right. Although, I know who this is. It's Gabe, baby, my boy.
Wow. Hey, Gabe, we're seeing Gabe on Tuesday, right? Oh, wow. We'll see you at the live show on Tuesday, Gabe.
I beg. I made a snowy Christmas tree, baby. Great snow and an angel on top. Yo.
Nice. God bless you. God bless you. I love that.
How'd you get the fake snow on there? Yeah. We just had some, like, spray cans and kind of spraying can. Oh, that's so cool.
Did you spray it outside or in the living room? Yeah. We spray it outside and we just bring it in and stuff. Yeah, that's smart.
Cool, man. What do you got? Are you ready to get in the holiday spirit? Are we getting all cheery?
Is it that time yet? At that time, baby. Fuck yeah. Yes, yes, yes.
Are you a good boy this year, Gabe? We'll see. We'll see, yeah. Something tells me you were.
Yeah. No corporate, Gabe. Never, never, never, never, never. All right.
Well, I'm excited to see you on Tuesday. We're going to have a nice, enthusiastic crowd who's all going to be really excited to see you there. I myself included. Sure.
It's going to be a big surprise on Tuesday. Fuck yeah. Fuck. All right.
Hey, Gabe. Mother Mary, shit in my mouth. That's Jesus' mom, right? Can we do some Christmas themes?
Jeez. Jesus, turn your shit to bread and feed me, baby. Fuck yeah. Can I get you?
That doesn't seem to be not eager to volunteer. Yeah, no, no, no. Are you religious, Gabe? A little bit.
Okay. I just know my basic rules of goodness. Goodness from the heart. That's a good name.
All right. Goodness from the heart. You're going to have to rely on the... So you don't want to desecrate Jesus' name today?
Nah. You're good, man. The big box upstairs. My boy is back.
Got respect. All right. That's a man up there. That's what's going to happen.
No, we don't want that. We don't want that. No. All right, Gabe.
Well, I'm glad to see you're getting into the holiday spirit, and I'm just so excited to see you on Tuesday. All right. We're going to have so much fun. It's going to be nice to see you.
And, well, I guess that's it. So have a great weekend, okay, bud? All right. Merry Christmas.
God bless. And I'm the Lisa. Motherfuckers. Yeah.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. And woo.
Happy holidays, bitch. Happy holidays, bitch. Woo. Woo.
Woo. Woo. Ha. You're the man, dude.
All right. We'll see you on Tuesday. All right. That's White Claw Gabe, everybody.
That's White Claw Gabe. Woo. Yeah, White Claw Gabe. You can see my cameo.
Speaking of Wish, did we watch the one where he was, the chronic illness one? We did already. Yeah, he had a really good one where he was. Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.
By the way, we put out a call for people to start hyping up love in the media. I thought that. Did you see that? I didn't know you were going to do that.
We're just doing it because it may or may not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. KFC Sweden, they heard you like fried chicken, and you do. I think you are passionate about it, right, love?
So this is legit. We love chicken. Yeah, I love chicken. I love chicken.
It's KFC in Sweden good. It's hard. You know what? I think chicken, the reason I like it is because we're so deprived of good fried chicken.
Yeah, there's just a couple of KFC stores in Sweden, and it recently opened in my city. It's perfect. There's going to be more and more after this. I actually recorded this video before you made that announcement.
Oh, really? Yeah. So how did they come by there? Yeah.
I used to work at this place, like a co-working office, and I used to eat dinner with all these high-level marketers, whatever, and I had asked for free gift cards before, but then just randomly, he messaged me, like, oh, something fell through, can you come through the office and record you some TikToks? And I was like, fuck, yeah, it's a free chicken. And yeah, that's how I got it. So you have any credentials?
Chicken connoisseur, chicken experts, you know, world food. Could you call him a brand ambassador? Definitely. Well, yeah, definitely.
That's official. I love that title. You're basically Colonel Sanders. Pretty much, yeah.
Let's watch this. She does give us a star, she's fishing clean, from KFC. Yeah, perfect for this. Damn.
I like the hoodie. It's kind of almost a little awkward. No, it's like ASMR, I like it. Yeah, it's real.
The sound called is the same. Crispy strips, extra crispy, or perfect at the top. It's like it works, because it may be one chicken really bad. Yeah, it doesn't make me.
I was going to eat right now. Well, we were going to order food, so KFC's an option if y'all want to get weird and wild in order of disgusting. I didn't want to be all shameless, I'm sure to wear it so fresh. Thank you.
I love that. Don't worry, there's only one caught that one. I wore the color blocking other one. Oh, there's another one?
Yeah, but it's not published. Let's go on the holiday season. You know, I give Gary Vee a hard time for his NFT questions, for making out with his dad. Although, you know, I got boys, and I love my boys.
I mean, I can kiss them on the lips. I mean, he's not the only one. What's his name? Young Gravy.
Not Young Gravy, the famous football player. Tom Brady. Oh, Tom Brady. He didn't even make out with this on video.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he did. But anyway, as we go on the holiday season, what he said here really resonated in me about perspective. So hopefully y'all can take something away from this.
Everybody look at your phone right now. Now put that phone down, and get into a handstand or some weird position, and look at it again. And now stand on your table, and look at it again. Go too fast.
And now go 15 steps away, and look at it again. Look at your phone. Different perspectives. It's a perspective game.
And I hope that's what we accomplish for one person who's not in the right perspective. Everybody look at your phone. So there it is. I hope everyone's calm.
Just look at your phone from different angles. He has never done that in his life. He literally just never. He didn't even know where that was going when he opened his mouth.
Oh my God. I'm officially out. That ruined it. He kisses dad all he wants.
He gets campy all he wants. That was too much. Well, what's interesting is this is like... Thank you, Amy.
Thank you for... That's a very brave of you. Cam, are you out? I'm putting everyone to the test here.
I was never really in. Okay. Love. Was Love sort of in?
Yeah, it was kind of in. Listen. After I imagined my family getting killed. Yeah.
Yeah. That kind of ruined it. But he's so deep. And I'm not saying, listen, you don't like Gary Vee.
You don't have to choose me or him. I'm just saying, if you do like Gary Vee, you got to do this. Okay? You better do a handstand.
Can I look at your phone right now? Look at it? Now, put that phone down. And get into a handstand.
This dude is literally like, what am I saying? Wait. Hold the fuck up. He just changed my perspective on him.
All right. There you go. Perspective. Yo.
I spoke to you soon. What? Bye, Vee Chess. Dude, he's the king.
That is what he's saying. Like, if you can't see how dumb this is, you got to like analyze your perspective on everything. Oh, my God. It could be that he's trying to weed out the dumbest people possible.
and then sell them nfts yeah right right like that now is actually a marketing strategy oh that's interesting but that's interesting here we'll get that phone down and get into a handstand or some weird position he's confused by his introduction yeah i love the delivery he's trying to land this base you don't know where you're going now stand on your table and look at it again and now go 15 steps away and look at it again look at your phone different perspectives there's a perspective dude i can't believe that's this is a new sound bite different perspectives we'll have to end it for next year but it is good there and what's interesting is this account is like it's like a simple account like super motivational stuff and really yeah mad happy apparently that clip really uh really drove it home right now they're roasting him okay yeah they're saying this is what people who make gary v meme say bro's just saying words gary's just saying anything now bro what are you saying me talking to my boys after second blinker in 20 minutes i don't get what's a blinker that's a drug reference yeah it's uh let me see what i forget oh this is good sometimes i start a sentence and i don't know where it's going michael scott he sounds like he's trying to do like a gary v parody impression oh my god totally oh it's a dev yeah so there's gary v everybody and uh he is a great thinker of our time and actually go if you go to gary v and friends you can buy some of his exclusive nfts for a stupid amount of money by the way any updates on his restaurant where only v friends can get in

his super expensive nfts then you can get into the restaurant to pay for super expensive food oh it's all somehow like surrounding some sort of scam i feel like yeah he's in my opinion yeah you know

work which is maybe the first time in my life i mean i like this podcast what has gotten more as our team's gotten better and um y'all have taken more and more off me it's become uh a joy something i look forward to instead of something that's just like work you know what i mean so i thank you all and the fans have a tremendous source of support too it's just unbelievable you know well thank you guys i think we kind of all feel the same we love coming into work thanks bro anyone else want to say i appreciate that sorry i was talking to our benefactor um yeah no we have a blast here it's a privilege to work here and uh and yeah you're right this is uh doing the sound bites uh putting this together is kind of like an interesting way to kind of remind yourself a retrospective because it comes from all these things and uh you know sometimes it feels like time flies by but also this is a jam-packed year man there's stuff that we did at the beginning this year i'm like how was that how was that this year so yeah it's been a good one so thank you everybody thank you everybody thank you guys you know i want to thank everybody first of all ian has shined this year i mean he's the last which one he's more than that he's kind of the head um the head writer he spearheads our sketches and planned segments and um takes a lead on a lot of that stuff and i feel that ian really came into his own this year i appreciate it thank you that's very sweet thank you um i appreciate the uh opportunity to do it um yeah you wrote you wrote the occasion you really did it's cool when i moved here like years and years ago i wanted to do comedy stuff and it's like i'm getting paid to like write comedy and that's like the dream the dream's awesome yeah man you're doing awesome honestly you're the best at it now and i wouldn't even fucking dude i'll tell you what if ricky gervais came here looking for a job i'd kick him in the fucking balls throw him out that's my british brother so you're gonna take a step back um zach of course is a maniac you guys he's the best in the business in fact i don't think anyone even holds a light candle at this point he's too he's too humble to admit this but i think he's surpassed the mentor at this point absolutely did i listen to howard stern i will say yes i'm glad you agree yeah it's like reading your mind sometimes we listen to howard nowadays and we're like fred's kind of slow right fred is slipping he's sleeping listen to the older episode yeah he gave me that that like incredible feeling that you give me zach where he's like he sees it coming he's getting all these great because that's where we really got the idea to to build this kind of sound uh role and uh me and zach will being children of uh howard's legacy yes but you're definitely um you're the best in the biz i really i really appreciate that i just want to say thank you guys thank you the fans for everything um four years i mean this is amazing and you gave me an opportunity to be a psycho and like i can make music for the show and like it's truly a dream job so thank you guys very much yeah you stepped up too it's so cool i mean y'all been working here for so long and you guys dan included i mean this job has evolved so much since the five years that we've been here i think dan and ian were the oldest ones yeah five years yes that's crazy and then the amount that you're able to scale up is insane because when you first started we literally had like one little sound switch it was like so like a 75 uh behringer mixer from amazon and uh and one computer and a couple cameras and now look at us we still got the mixer here in the back yeah you got it that was our i think our one piece of equipment and it sounded like it's up and i insisted we got a better one pretty much immediately now we got two audio racks like yeah baby we're feeling it now yeah abe actually made a huge difference for me when he joined we took a gamble hiring abe and lena we had a good feeling about them yeah so but you guys moved out here from detroit um i basically reached down into the bowels of the world and saved your life you really did you guys jumped at the opportunity and you both have well abe brings to the he kind of the show we were doing i think when you started maybe like once or twice a week yeah twice a week and uh with abe's help really we were able to scale to the four episodes we do now oh yeah no way without abe yes he he's the head of preparing the show the document the research so he has brought that stability and a four day a week energy that i didn't think or at least i wanted to do it but i didn't know how we would get there zach i mean not zach abe brought us there whoever you are yeah don't worry i called like yeah you

basically that's how I thought I thought they had better labor laws in Sweden sounds like you got pretty good no yeah I mean that was definitely not very not legal yeah yeah okay shut up I learned a lot during our job so I'm not complaining that much actually all right well there it all is uh anyway I don't know how we got here but Elon Musk is a giant piece of shit two things one uh I didn't

Stern all those guys have been together for like 40 years so 35 years left Ian let's see what we got we got to go let's see you know you never know but uh yeah so you can eat that cake or yeah during the show I was gonna cut it you guys want some I don't know I'd rather eat pizza if you're cutting the cake I'll have a piece I mean don't get me wrong should I order pizza now yeah probably okay whoa whoa wait do you guys want pizza or maybe Ian can decide who said this is big day I feel like we need Sharky's good no it's been a minute Sharky bro you for real right now wait didn't you recently said he tried Sharky's again Ian loves Sharky's I used to know all the time we went through a Sharky's phase where we ate it every night for dinner for like five days and then we swore it off I'm gonna say I'm gonna be a little responsible here if we're gonna eat it should be about two hours towards the tail end of the show just avoid some smacking some juice I don't know not people listen he's become Ian the executive manager and you guys are seeing it right in front of you right now but I'm home five years of chewing into the mic don't you know okay I'll listen you know what you're talking about pizza sounds good though I'm down for pizza okay yeah so um also did you guys look at the streamer yells at chatter for mom dying because I mentioned it this clip's fucking nuts dude I made a joke about it you guys know what I was talking about this girl sadly said I'm so sorry to hear that her brother had passed so this guy who's a streamer I don't know if he's a big streamer no no he's not but he has fans yeah he's a little so check this out this is the craziest thing I've ever seen on Twitch probably um I'll just play it in Spanish and it's chef's kiss all right Kirby where the fuck have you been oh but we'll tell you what Mr. Kevan you know what we're not gonna do we're not gonna talk about it in my chat because it's Friday and that is a whole big fuck wait didn't show the comment she replied with I'm sorry I've been gone my mom just passed away and I've been dealing with a lot wait where is it in the was it cut out here oh yeah I must be cut out of this it's in Spanish and it's chef's kiss all right well you asked her where have you been and she said I'm sorry where the fuck have you been yeah I don't know why I happened I got cut out here but she said sorry my mom passed away and I've been dealing with a lot and this is his response After he asked her Friday baby Friday baby Oh my god What? Uh Thank you Well okay Mr. Curry You said no that's fine You asked so I told No I didn't ask you to tell me The biggest fucking bummer news in the world I said hey what's up how are you You know what Let me give you a little bit of a lesson Yeah usually when I There's He's right You know there's an assumption That when you ask someone Where have you been No bummers No bummers Only good news bro Oh my god What kind of reaction is that I know it's shocking Man y'all tell me all about your dead relatives You drop it in the chat We're gonna have Dead homie moment here in chat I'm sorry if I can We do Friday different Drop all your dead homies in chat Oh I work at I work at Adam and Eve Uh Adon says You packed the merchandise Hell yeah dude Oh wow Oh they say All sorts of merchandise They say it's a good job And they got a raise and a Christmas bonus Let's go We stand Yeah Congrats Yeah so here is the Uh This dude hates dead people Kirby When something really really bad Is going on in your life And in a public forum Someone asks you Hey what's up how are you There are two acceptable responses Good And you know what I'll make it through That's not a What It's okay I'll make it through What the hell does that mean Yep One of your parents passed away, and you're going to say, okay, I'll make it through.
I'll be fine. My favorite part is he literally asked her, where have you been? By name. So he knows this person who is a fan of his small stream.
Oh, yeah. Rest in peace, by the way, to all the dead homies and family members in chat. We do memorials here every Friday for our fallen because we carry the ones we love with us. You know?
So, yeah. I'm a good guy. I'm like this guy. That's basically my point.
That's it. How are you? Good? Or, you know what?
I'll make it through. By the way, I love Hit the Psycho. He goes, if somebody tells you, I'll make it through, and you don't ask for follow-up. Another alternative that he gives or someone in chat gives and then he reads it out loud is another response could have been, I'm alive, which is literally so crazy because her mother is not.
She's not telling you something else. You're tapping out on your mom's grave. Actually, the inverse of that is what she's trying to tell you. Wow.
This guy is wild. This is one of the craziest takes ever, man. It's a hell of a way to build a fan base. I mean, I'm not a nice approach.
Derek says his father-in-law passed away three years ago today, and his mother-in-law and grandma passed this year. His mom's been dead for over a decade, so, I mean, the graze killed all 10 of my fathers, Rory said. That's a mole guy. That's a mole guy.
Yeah, Derek, I'm sorry for your loss. It's never easy, but, you know, just don't fucking tell me about it. I'll make it through is probably the better thing that you could have put in your message. Just kidding.
Sorry for your loss, Derek. Derek's a legend. Yeah, I recognize they come around a lot, right? Yeah, and they support me and love.
Oh, right on. Shout out, Derek. Yeah, but, I'm just saying, dude. I asked for one dead family member.
You rang, like, five. Don't bum me out, dude. It's a little pick me. It's a little pick me with five.
Oh, you have how many dead family members? I get it. See, there you go. I said, how are you doing?
She says, I'm alive. Was he trying to be funny? I think he was thinking that he's funny, but, like... At first, I said, this guy's doing shit.
But then he keeps going with it. He actually seems mad. He put out an apology where he said this person has come in his chat before and trauma dumps, but I think, obviously, she's... Trauma dumps?
Shut up, idiot. You're trauma dumping me right now with your childhood problems. You also don't have to read it. Like, it's a chat.
You don't have to acknowledge it. You don't feel like it. Just, you know what I mean? That's true.
In his apology, he says that she had written it twice and he didn't acknowledge it, and then on the third one, he did that. Just muted him, idiot. I haven't seen evidence of that, but that is what he says. I'll watch the apology, because I'm actually super interested in this arc here.
Oh, I asked you where you were. Look, Mr. Kirby, all I'm trying... I'm just subtly trying to tell you that unloading really heavy news in people's chats on Twitter...
Listen, I'm trying to subtly tell you that I'm glad she's dead. That's how much I care. By the way, this guy's a class act. He has a tower of empty beer cans behind you.
So, you know he's well-focused. Bitch is not, like, good etiquette. It's just... You're not talking about etiquette?
What? You're, like, yelling at somebody that just had their parents' eye, and you're talking about etiquette? This guy has, like, five fans, and she's one of them. You're being so rude.
How are you even going to say the word etiquette? He's just... Listen, somebody's got a teacher. I'm trying to tell you.
That's it. I'm just... I figured this is a good opportunity to inform you. Heavy news like that.
When someone asks, hey, where have you been? You don't need to tell them, well, my dog died... Hold on, there's no, like, um, sardine paste. What's the red?
No, no, I'll give you a non-flashback. No, I'll give you a non-flashback. No, I'll give you a non-flashback. Happy 42nd, Ethan.
Hey, surprise. All right, my birthday's in June, first of all, so the joke doesn't even work on his face. Also, the cake for you. Your calendar says your birthday is today.
Wait. This is today? Yeah, December 16th, this is on the calendar right here. What calendar are you looking at?
This is the official. I'm 37, by the way. Is this cake for me or Ian, then? You tell me, Dan.
What's the joint thing? We figured because it overlaps. We didn't want to do two parties. That's why it's a tall cake.
It's one on top of the other. Two people. What the fuck? By the way, Hila, happy birthday.
Happy 32nd birthday this week. No, look at that, look at that. It was also Sam's birthday, too, so happy birthday, Sam. Sam has turned 14.
14. That's not even funny. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Let's talk about Ian for a minute. How old? Yo, Ian, you're in trouble. Ian be like, I just met this high school girl.
What was on the agenda time? Yeah, I'm 37. Just for the rest. Thank you.
Back to the city. Husband left me for a younger woman. My house burnt down and my car got stolen. So, I've been a little bit busy.
That's why I haven't been around. This guy's actually so dumb. This is great. Like, what he just said is my dream comment.
I get them on the phone immediately. You know what I mean? This is the worst friend to have in the whole world. That's what he thinks for himself.
Anytime a friend or family doesn't bad news. Yo, house burnt. Fuck, dude. Seriously.
Can we not talk about it? It's Friday, bro. Let's just play Smash, dude. I don't give a fuck.
Where have you been? Can I stay with you until I find a new place? Bro, there's a homeless shelter down the street. I don't hear it.
I had a bunch of shit going on, so I've been lying low for a little while. Got it. That's it. I'm not trying to read you when you ask.
Oh, you're not? I looked at the left. Biggest self-owned maybe ever. Oh, the team star is pretty close on those, but.
Yeah, he made an apology, which I haven't seen yet. Because this guy was getting. That put up on my Twitter. Yeah, he first apologized on Twitter, and then he brought a video.
Let's see. After the first message, she followed up simply by careflying. It's down here. The apology.
Oh, so she posted it to Twitter. She got her revenge on some of them. Yeah, she posted it like a nice happy post. Let's go.
Miss Nerdy Curvy got your ass punk. So she put out a statement, which I'm not going to read. But, uh, I mean, you know. I mean, it's a trauma dump, and it's Friday, and it'd be kind of a murder.
Read it, so. She should read it. None of my business. I'm just here to roast that guy.
You know, it's a pretty long post. What's this girl going to learn her lesson, man? It's Friday. It's Friday, dude.
He goes, this is a pretty epic response. You've seen the edits, but what it doesn't show is that twice, I didn't acknowledge her comments about the deceased family member on purpose. I read them myself and didn't react to it. No, this makes sense.
He's totally off the hook. You guys didn't see that she was saying it three times, and I ignored her. One of my five fans was signing up on with me. I continually ignored her because I didn't misuse that part.
I was even more of a good. To cut out a lot of the context and dialogue required, I feel, to fairly assess the matter as it truly unfolded, you've seen the edits, but what it doesn't show is that twice, I didn't acknowledge her comments about the deceased family member on purpose. I read them myself, but didn't react in depth. The fact that he's the worst, he's like, this is so heavy, and then he's like, upset at her.
It just doesn't go together. By the way, that's the soundbite, Zach. You got it. What is the sign behind him?
That is the name of his channel. It's We Found The Body, which one could argue is the absolute worst news in the entire world. Right? He doesn't tolerate heavy news, but that's the name of his entire channel.
Found The Body. That is the worst news you could hear. By the way, that's the smallest sign I've ever seen for a channel. That's true, it's small, but it's legible.
Temporarily hijacked by this type of heavy, serious trauma commenting. It wasn't until the third time that she brought it up in chat and expressed how horrible life has been that I reacted to it the way that I did. One very important detail that I think I should share is that this individual has been spoken to about this before. Dude, you're a fucking monster.
Sorry, why? He's not even willing to apologize. The thing is, she's had a lot of terrible things happen to her. Yeah.
So it's really annoying. It's not just a one-time annoyance, but her life is in examples. Like he already yelled at her? Yeah, that's annoying, bro.
Sorry, this cake is so good. I'm going to wrap it up. I'm probably... That's the strawberry jam?
It's really good. Strawberry shortcake. Fuck it, it's my birthday. He admitted!
Oh, that's what I heard! 42. Let's fucking go. 42 years young and I feel great.
You know what? As soon as you said that, you look younger to me. Yep. You look 37.
You look not a day over 37, my friend. I know. A 34-year-old man. A 34-year-old man.
Wow, that's one voice I've heard in a while. And he's complimenting. 34. You're 34, dude.
Congrats. Thanks, bro. Yeah, you know, sometimes people have a hard time apologizing, which I get. I've been through that myself.
I feel I've gotten better at apologizing over the years. There's a certain bit you just have to kind of swallow your pride. And you just got to be able to really say, I did fuck up. You're right.
Like, that's hard to say, right? Like, you're right. I'm wrong. Sorry.
Okay, Dan. That's not another time. Trying to make a point. But this guy can't even...
I yelled at a girl for her dad dying. Couldn't make the fucking apology. There it is. He's basically trying to get people upset at her.
Yeah. Isn't she annoying? Yeah. That's the apology video.
Yeah. If you guys understand, she's really fucking annoying. Yeah, the context that you guys miss, which I think would have made a difference, is what a dumb bitch is. Oh, crazy.
So that was kind of fun. But you know what? I think it's time. We introduce our competitors.
Let's fucking go. On the 2022 SoundBite World Olympics. Let's go. No stinger.
Batcha. Little stinger. Here it is. It's dramatically rising.
Actually, I need to pee, so not to be a techomactive question. I do need to pee. We got a stinger for your bathroom break. Can we do it at the same time?
You want to go together? Let's go pee and then we're going to come back. Don't knock it out. It'll be faster.
