5 keys to become a great EFL kindergarten teacher. Of all the hard jobs around, one of the hardest is being a good teacher. So how is it possible to become a great teacher? And how can a teacher become great, at helping young learners in a kindergarten class, who have little to no experience learning in a classroom setting? Although challenging at times, it can be done. There are a few keys to being a great kindergarten teacher. 1. Teachers attitude and mindset. The first key is to develop the right mindset before entering the classroom. It is important for a teacher, to cultivate a sincere desire to care about each student in the class, and a desire to help each student succeed. A great teacher really needs to love teaching and to love his or her students as well. If so, this will be reflected in the attitude that the teacher brings into the classroom each day. When the children observe the enthusiasm of the teacher, the students will be motivated to try their best. I learned the hard way how important this really is. One of the first kindergarten classes I taught in China posed a real challenge to me. A few of the students were unruly and did not want to participate in any of the class activities. As a result, I became frustrated with them, and it affected the way I taught the entire class for several weeks. In retrospect, I wish I would have tried harder to build rapport with all the students, and develop even greater concern for these students, in an effort to help them grow instead of becoming frustrated. My attitude and feelings toward the class had a negative impact on my mindset, and therefore on my teaching. The second key is to prepare well before each class. In my past experience, the classes that I prepared well for were executed the best, and both the students and I enjoyed them the most. Good preparation involves developing a well-thought-out lesson plan that includes a class warm-up and a rapport building section. During the warm-up, well-prepared activities should be planned for the engage, study, and activate sessions of each class. Young learners especially have short attention spans, so each activity should be kept short and highly interactive. 3. Support teaching with visual aids. A third key is to keep the classroom and all activities visually appealing and stimulating. Young learners absorb information the best when they are able to use all their senses. Therefore, using lots of colorful visual aids, as well as audio and video tools will help to keep the children engaged. Planning activities that allow the students to get out of their seats, move around the class, and touch different objects will also assist in the learning process. One of the most successful kindergarten classes I remember, was teaching colors and shapes to students in China. I had many shapes of different colors cut out from cardboard paper, and I played a game, where the students who could identify the shapes and colors, were able to hang on to the shape for the rest of the class. They all loved being given something to touch and hold on to, and the students were excited and engaged for the entire duration of the class. Young children learn extensively through games and music as well, so incorporating these stimulating activities into the classroom will make it very effective. 4. Encourage to use English. A fourth key is to encourage the students to use English, as much as possible and give them plenty of commendation. In the past, I often resorted to using Chinese in an effort to communicate with my students. However, I found that it did not help them to improve their English, nor did it help me to teach them. Young learners can absorb a new language just by listening to it, and repeating it. So promoting the use of English in the classroom, as much as possible will help them to learn the language. Additionally, giving them lots of commendation and encouragement will help them feel good about coming to class, and help them develop confidence in using the English language. 5. Keep it fun. The fifth and final key is to make every part of the class fun. Young learners enjoy play, and much of their day is spent playing with toys and games. This is how they learn. So, if the teacher can incorporate lots of fun into the lessons, the classroom will be very conducive to learning. In fact, they will be learning English without even realizing it. Do you want to become a TEFL teacher? It's so easy. Take a TEFL course right now. There are many more keys to becoming a great teacher and an endless amount of books have been written on the subject. But following a few of these simple keys can help any teacher to be great at teaching English in the kindergarten classroom. By utilizing the many essential lessons I have learned through past experience, as well as the valuable training that I have received from the TEFL course, I hope to be a great kindergarten teacher.


Hello everyone and welcome to today's short tip video so what we're going to be doing is taking our list of names You see here in column B So we've got a total of what 18 names there and we want to split these not only just into three teams But we want those teams to be randomly generated So if I was to hit f9 now because the form is still in there You can see it's going to continue to update but continuously it's always going to be in a random order So some of the functions I'm sure you're probably already aware of but what we'll do is delete the formula out that we're using at the moment So we can rebuild it starting from scratch So the fundamental part of this formula is going to be using something called wrap rose So if you're not familiar with that rose and if I could spell it correctly All it simply does is allows us to provide a range of rows So like I'm doing here and then after the comma so we've only got two inputs for this We can provide the number of columns we wish for that to be split over so for us we have three teams So I want this row or all these rows split over three columns By closed brackets in it enter you can see how those names have now gone from being just a list of rows Into see three columns however at this point you can see going from left to right It's simply just maintaining that same order as we had in our names list So Serena Keen and Palmer is your first three here Serena Keen and Palmer This may be suitable for you because you could say well, it's not random But you do have obviously a different ordering in terms of team one two and three from top down in our names list But we want this to be is we wanted to be completely Randomly generated so there were no patterns or you know Favouritism based to how someone was appearing in this list So in order to do that we just need to update mainly just this little section here to ensure that everything is being Randomized in order to do that the first part we're going to do is change our range here to sort by and then open our brackets and This is now where we are going to put in our names or a range of names so if I click on Serena down to now at the end there and then What do we want to do or how do we want to sort this range? Well, we want it to be random and lucky for us. There is a function in Excel called random array So if you type in random array And then open brackets We can now all we need to do now is obviously provide How many items there are within our range? So for us, we're going to use now the last function, which is counter so go into count a open brackets and Then lastly or once again, should I say select our range of names like so and Then we just need to do some closed brackets. So a closed bracket here so this is now giving us the total number of values in our array and Then our next closed brackets is obviously closing off our random array So our random array is basically going to pick a at random Eat a value or a number should I say within our total once available? So obviously it's going to continue to randomize that to make sure that everything is again I keep using the word random But it's going to obviously make sure it is random and then last closed brackets is going to close off our Sort by so where previously all of this section here was just a simple basic range selection here nicely highlighted You can see how we've now utilized sort by and random array Fundamentally to make sure that it's going to produce our values in a random order And then just for clarity if you forgot the beginning the three at the end here is simply just defining how many columns We wish for this these rows to then be split over once we're happy with that we'll just Hit enter and you can see how our array has now updated So we obviously had that formula in before so you would have seen some names here But now hopefully you've noticed that they're in a random order So rather than having serene keen and Palmer you can see if we to try and find only Parmas here serene is here and in who is the other one keen so you can see comparing our top-down three here You can see how they're randomly selected with even Palmer being before serene And if we now use F9 you can continue to refresh that formula to further randomize these Three teams if you so need to so I hope you enjoyed that video If you did please don't forget to give the video a like and of course feel free to drop us a comment below If you do have any questions at all if this is the first time watching one of our videos or you've watched in the past And you're still yet to subscribe Could I please ask you to not only hit that subscribe button?

There's a system when you get it.  Oh Okay, here we go. Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the pro Crassinators podcast.  All right guys my strap for this game is to rush calendars I can pick up an early pantheon and then spans my caravans for my UA Hmm, and I didn't miss anyone, right? That's everyone. Yeah, that's everyone here All the five boys are here and we did it guys we cracked the life code Because today we're talking about the only question that matters Which video game is best video game? It's undertale just you know throwing that out there. I got a strong contest in here I like I like undertale Big fan. I like undertale personally I need to bait that it's undertale No, let's just keep going through the motion real the real question is who likes undertale the most That's really that's true. The best video game ever made is active life magic carnival for we Undertale The Mac the them active light Mac controller not included cannot find this anywhere. I looked on eBay. It's not there Okay, that's that's a good contender but I consider that sort of a subset of the greater undertale worship community and Really what I think we need to do is start dividing ourselves into subdivisions of undertale worship, you know Like there's the there's the lowly papyrus clan. There's there's the sands, you know devouts the sands devouts There's the sands orthodox. Yeah, indeed indeed We need to form these factions and begin a warring intensely with each other I think that's the but that's the best way to kind of burn out the undesirable elements of our community here Yeah, and just spiral into perfection have to prove themselves in a trial by fire Otherwise, how do we know I? Consider myself a hardcore toriothean.  It's religion guys. We're talking about religion such as undertale worship and and the other ones Yes, but I mean what is religion. Oh Excellent question. Let's consult. Let's consult the sacred text over on Urban Dictionary dot com Okay a religion an organized group of people with a common belief most religions Strongly stress ethics and morals along with setting guidelines Wait, wait a minute Disappointed wait, wait, I need to pause for a second This is something really important is that of religion is an organized group of people with a common set of beliefs with a high emphasis on ethics so game Gamergate is a religion Oh You know, you know, what's interesting about this I'm reading I've read every single definition of religion on Urban Dictionary not a single one of them is like a meme or a joke God and this this begins.  I'm very disappointed. You know what?  I'm sorry I'm sorry. He doesn't know how to maneuver this this new family. I think everyone pray means would actually have a know your meme page I God God God, okay What about God is a religious concept typically described as a superhuman spirit God is a core and often controversial topic of religious philosophical and political discussion Incredible Here's include advice God. I gave you free will bottom text. So use it exactly as I command you to real nice I'm reading the know your meme entry for a religion is is also like weirdly non-jokey Okay, listen to this about about religion religion is a spiritual and cultural system of ideas beliefs behaviors blah blah blah built out Holy traditions adherents of religion blah blah blah. They worship. This is not it. Where's the meme The reason that there's no jokes is because religion in itself is a joke I would like to say that this dear viewers will be like Probably the most circle jerky circular secular like a non Like just like this will just be all of us have the exact same opinion All of us have the exact same opinion because there's only one opinion to Derive from this entire time, you know, there is no discussion that can even take place at this point It's all been discussed. All right. There is only one position Well, I'm interested in defending religion on this just to be contrary to my own point of view But go again, what a shock playing devil's advocate on the religion episode. Oh because I have the devil Okay, the the thing that I was planning on on talking about just a little bit is the thing I like about religions is The the sick architecture and the reason religion is bad in my in my mind is because they don't build any new really cool Musks and churches and stuff. They just use the old ones and they don't have It's because they invented the internet and now they don't have they don't have the free time anymore Better things to do dude. Look at okay. The Muslims have it figured out Look at this sick-ass cube that all the Muslims in perfect circles all gathered and bowed to Okay, but seriously This is so sick like they've got it figured out. I mean if I was gonna make a religion I'd probably wanted to send her around a cube It's not the whole point this episode. We're gonna make a religion. We've already made a pyramid scheme Excellent idea. We've already dipped our toes into this concept.  It'd be baby mode. Do it right now and we'll have it be the thumbnail for the episode That's a good idea. Well, I don't want to be a distracted But to be to be serious about it if I was going to make a religion I would sort of have it be I mean it's it's just like basically what I think anyway But it would be like some weird like okay human beings are weak and need things like to Gather around and like pretend is real even if it's not like they need a some sort of spiritual fulfillment in some way But like I would say like the worship of like Intelligence or like progress or like the human Spirit or success of people like human happiness. I mean those are the values that I have so I would just like send My religion around those but the problem is that religions are fundamentally based on faith Obviously, that is the core idea behind every single really not the best literally of all Wicca. Mm-hmm It's based around casting six spells and Are you a cyber Wiccan aka a digital pagan?  That's true You know, there is a real debate. I think to be had here between some of us because I generally Think oh, well, you know what we were saying before about like how religion does have sick architecture Christopher Hitchens old dead atheist who was pretty pretty cool Used to say that like the one thing so he would ask this question to people who like debated about religion because he's a big atheist guy Like what tell me one thing that you can get from religion that you can't get like from secular humanism or whatever And like the one answer he got that he thought was reasonable I mean at the time he said music like divinely a faith-inspired music He was like there is the feeling of like surrender to a higher power that is beyond comprehension is Is something that is basically fundamental to Religion and like that that that sort of feeling is hard to why can't you be in all of the infinite universe and all that? Can't be of Obama I Would get castrated for Obama if I was in the National Obama choir, I do that I'd sign myself well, there's there's a particular type of thing here that like you're in the hands of like an omnipotent creator That's like beyond That's fine at all. I you know I find some some things that like crazy people also can make pretty good Cool art, which is you know what's going on? Look at this channel Bringing up with like the the architecture is like obviously a lot of architecture back in the day was like cool and stuff Just like all the the religious stuff. It's not like religion isn't the reason we have cool buildings Catholicism is super aesthetic It's super I love I love the aesthetic Yeah, and it's it's not like I'm saying religion should exist so that maybe a church can be built. I'm just saying Some people besides besides the like obvious like yeah, it's not real It's nice to just a major sticking point to be sure like things about like like I don't know I just don't really mind too much about it Well, okay, here's a here's here's that I'm glad you said that because that ties into what I was gonna get to Here's where we can actually have a debate here Christopher Hitchens would go on to say beyond being an atheist. He would define himself as an anti-theist Which is that if there even was a God? He would be opposed to it because he finds the very idea morally reprehensible And I have a lot of agreement with that position. I think the idea that God is real Let's say in the in the Christmas ever Hitchens is L from death. No, no not not L near. He's near He's by the elf from As seen in elf Correct. Yes. Um, yeah, you know what? Well, I'm at I'll just quote the near line that I as a child This is this might have been the first time I really got like really fedora tippy just in my own life when I read in the final volume of Death note when near is about to capture a light. This is a quote that really inspired me I would put on all my Facebook bios and whatnot when I was a young lad It was even if a God exists and I had his teachings laid out before me I would still decide for myself what was right and what was wrong and I could not agree more with that. It's great It's great stuff. It's a great line. It's great line. Yeah What what direction are we take with this? Are we gonna talk about like our our our histories of religion like how we feel Our stuff that we know about and think about religion and then we're going to create our own religions each Okay, here here. I'm just gonna lay out this before like like spoiler alert This is the only discussion that can occur around religion. This will just be a spoiler for the podcast here I'm going to condense all the history of religious discussion into like a paragraph. I like God Well, he's not real. There's no evidence. Yeah, but I like him. Well, but you know, there's no evidence Yeah, I know it makes me feel comfort because I don't like the idea of they're not being God. Yeah I mean, that's true. It's nice to feel comfort, but it's fake there. It's done. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. All right. Bye That's it. I'm tired. What else could you say? Well, that's the thing. Is it okay? Here's these the antithesis thing is it in fact morally reprehensible to believe in God I would argue. Yes, I would argue. Yeah, just to believe in him. Yeah, yeah, that's right I just believe that he's real If you're a kid and you say you believe in God because your parents were told to I mean in that case It's different but to be a functioning adult who says you believe in God. I find morally reprehensible. I think all right Here's my point on that. I think Obviously people don't follow the books 100% like not every person who isn't they don't even read the reads. They don't they yeah They don't read like any adaptation. They don't cover everything in they they cherry-pick, you know And they they do whatever they do Mm-hmm. So the idea that the book is I mean it is like it does make bad things happen But I think I think if if someone just says yeah, I believe in God. I Don't think that in initially means anything. I just think it like it depends on what they do See, I disagree already with that fundamental position I think if you say that you believe in God at the very least at the very means you're an idiot But that's all like it means you're stuck in your ways and you won't change but like that doesn't mean anything Really, it does just depends on what you do it like with like it's a case-by-case sort of thing I think it informs at least I totally admit that there's it There's a huge variety of people here but if you believe in any God that means that you believe that there is a creator who made the world as it is and Like to to spend any amount of time thinking that there is a God therefore XYZ happens Like there is no logical way you can arrive at this conclusion that they're like there's any reason to do so But you I would say that that is a waste of your time and resources, but you can't conclude that there's not either But that's exactly the point though. Okay, let me just clarify real quick atheism Simply about some people to find it like some people are Identitarian which is always a bad thing to be and say I'm an atheist therefore I'm an atheist and this defines who I am Professed anti-theist is saying that identitarianism is bad I I'm not actually I would not never use a label on myself Identitarianism it just like to be to say that okay, I'm a Christian like that means I I feel like I belong to this group I am part of it and this applies to any group like I am even saying like I I'm male therefore like I'm into male stuff That is being which have already crushed and proved does not exist in a previous episode We've already discussed Yeah, very true If someone is an atheist therefore they go and join tons of like atheist organizations and they write another Facebook bio Yeah, if you do that, then you're you are becoming a an Identitarian you're using this label to define yourself and people will use that to judge you so don't do it instead be represented by your ideas But here's the point an atheist simply means one who lacks the belief in God And I want to just to be super clear because people fuck this up every time Lacking the belief meaning you have not been convinced that something is true That is what it means and therefore everyone should be defined as an atheist from birth until they have made a logical educated Argument to themselves and are convinced that God is real that is when you should then say okay. Now I just feel like I I just I just feel like it like For a lot of people they never think about it ever and it's just like an answer to a question. Do you believe yes? Uh, I got exactly the problem often Yeah, but I don't see too much of a problem in like a person who is just a normal person nothing about them is Is like unusual If I'll tell you exactly why it's a problem paired with like an atheist or someone who just grew up somewhere else I'll tell you exactly why it's a problem. It's because it allows the demagogues of society to say look at america 99 percent, you know Theists this is a god-fearing country.   I just hate him I'm sorry Believe what you want, but I it's it's stop Stop it real.  I am responsible for that just as god would be well I mean I think it's kind of hypocritical sometimes when people say that like god is like a moral good despite all this because we could We extend ethical consideration to like animals that we Think are like intellectually lower than us and we can like make decisions on like a macro scale that like Animals don't have the consciousness to be aware of and like we didn't create them We just look on the situation and be like we should do this thing, you know Like we know it's an animal conservation and shit like that whatever so to say that like that is a moral imperative Like that's a moral good and then to be like Well god can just let us beat our own devices and that's like somehow also good. It seems like a contradictory Well, here's a different way of observation If you believe in god, you probably also believe in other foolish things like objective morality And if you believe in and if you believe in an objective morality, you have to you have to be like Well, okay, but what is that and some people might say that like god is the definition of what is good and there for anything That god wants is is a moral good like by definition Yeah, but as we already discussed our friend near dispatch that argument hand. Well, that was just like his opinion man That kind of like boils into what I was gonna say about religion Which I've already spoken about god and religion in depth in my like 45 minute Hyperbolic wine chamber episode, which everyone should listen to but um But my kind of thing with religion is like I think it's it's basically just a social shorthand Because like what I for an order for like a society to function competently You need to have a bunch of people who have a core set of foundational beliefs or ideas that they all agree on Because that's basically the foundation you build an entire social structure on top of you know People come together. They believe certain things or they have a certain kind of idea of what like good and bad is What like right and wrong is there's like a foundation, you know, we have like law and stuff like that And religion was like is a convenient way of being like these are the boundaries of society This is the boundaries of behavior, right? So if you have if you have a society That's all christian for example Everybody's operating under the same sort of like social and moral assumptions So you have social cohesion that way and the interesting thing with like America now is that because We're kind of like stepping back and allowing all this intermixing of stuff to happen Like we're opening society up to new ideas But at the same time society is also becoming more unstable because people can't agree on the essentials anymore We can't agree on the foundation when everybody has a slightly different Sporys supposition of what that foundation is whether that's religious whether that's social Anything like that.  Yes. I there's no way to disagree with that We'll see that's the thing Depending on how you you treat it like I mean I am totally willing to admit It is possible that long term humanity would do better to like dogmatically believe in something like like christianity It is possible that just like general people having the belief in this religion will just make humanity do better like long term Whereas it's possible. We might just like fall into chaos But I mean if it gets results, you know, if it well, yeah, if it gets results But but here's the thing that I think guys don't bring up enough is that I have I have a I put a core Fundamental value on the idea of truth I totally admit that my one of the important things to me in this whole argument is truth I care about what's real and what's not real for many reasons including that which I think that it's the way to achieve the best results Long term, you know, and I admit that that like is kind of up for debate But I think that it will work out the best long term if we know all the facts such as there is no god Uh, like I all right that I I have like a big It's it's sort of like a maybe Oh, yeah, it's also that but like like like I think it may be a cultural divide Where like religion god. Yes.   Yeah Sorry, you know it was interesting over the holidays I went back home and was with my family for for Christmas and whatnot and Like there was a moment where I had a conversation with my dad. I I don't remember why but like I mean, why would you ever? Indeed the word atheist came up and like I was just like yeah blah blah, you know The god's not real etc. etc. And my dad I know is religious But then he looked at me surprised and said wait a minute. Are you an atheist and What was what was weird was that I thought that we had discussed this specifically before And I don't know if maybe he just was like, yeah, he's just feeling this way right now And and then I unfortunately I I just I just like I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah big time Like the the unfortunate thing about that was I feel that in that moment He then began to project everything from the you know, 60 or so years of his life about what he had learned about Atheists and his like idea of what an atheist is like he then was like, oh now I need to project all this onto my son Yeah, where as you see Exactly, that's exactly my point is like some people are very judgmental when it comes to labels And so I just I just like I try not to do that to them. I try not to do that to anyone Like I agree.  I I have it on christianity and just religion I don't know anything about christians as a whole.   Oh, I'm totally with you. It's it's like what's the point like sure. You're not hurting anything But what's the point?  I just hear I just hear that the same sort of like Zealotry in anti-religion that there is in religion and I know that there's like it's funny how Atheism has become a religion almost. Yeah I'm not saying that I know that there are objectively good things about atheism And and stuff or and all that like that like I'm not arguing that religion should ever Like if I if I was to say to someone I wouldn't recommend any of them to anybody but I just I think to solve problems in society instead of telling people To stop like doing their thing that gets them really riled up and angry It's to to control the other things like money like to make incentives aside from religion That would like like, you know in the uk So many people don't go to church But of course it used to be a very religious place and that's because of yes Like things that just to distract them like technology and things that they nobody cares anymore Like the school system the eighth bit of mockery the whole fucking thing by making himself head of the church And then it was just like well, I guess this is a joke now.  It's kind of kind of It's kind of big. Yeah, until I don't know how it's gonna change but like There's ways to go about changing the world in the way you want without attacking groups of people who are very prone to get angry and mad and violent You know what?  No, it's not attacking. It's just like common sense. These people they are very But it's not to them.  They don't they believe in god.   I've heard of the term coconut I've heard that at pop. Oh, okay. That makes sense when when they're brown on the outside What on the inside? I'm just like, oh my god, very hairy on the outside. Yeah, you know makes sense. Um Makes sense. It makes sense.  Um, and like like I totally agree if if I I want For example, it's it's not specific to them.  Let's just be friends together. That's what I want. That's what I want So I think you're right gib. I think you're right.   I agree with you We I think we all agree with you No one no one hates christians. This is all just nothing. This is all nothing. We've been said nothing this entire podcast You guys need to stop you should stop apologizing for your for your opinion here that religion's ridiculous I think it's counterproductive to like everyone's going around these days saying like, oh, it's so tired to say that god's not real Let's just like lay off it for a while. Uh, no never never even one That is you and everybody else out there is all like, oh, it's so uncool to say that god's not real anymore. No, it's cool It's still cool. It will always be cool I'm still cool. I'm not I'm no I'm not saying that we shouldn't have this discussion I'm just saying like This is not a commentary on the actual topics of the discussion It's of the discussion itself and just like like my my conclusion to bring with this is just that okay Like like confirmed god is uh wrong.  Now. Let me make a case real quick for why you should literally murder every christian You see on the street. Okay. Here's here's what we got.   I will kill every janus that's out there for being unproductive My family is not religious, but I did go to a primary school Which had a church attached to it called all saints school Primary school and um every friday. I think we would go in there because we didn't go to school on Sundays or whatever we would go in there and have like um We have assembly every morning in the normal hall and then on the friday We would go into the church and we would sing hymns and stuff Um, but I never got this sense of like any of this was supposed to be taken as real And and even we had like re we would have like religious education classes every so often talking about We would talk about well, it's not like the christian stuff. It's just like religion in general like today We're gonna learn about okay. Yeah Today, we're gonna learn about Sikhism and stuff and then one day the like a couple times a year the vicar From the church who is like a really tall.   Yeah, and everyone loved him He was like like a paragon of the local community And he would like read us things from the bible and tell stories about it Like he wouldn't just read it. He would like tell a story and it's like, dude. This is cool That's the sd man. I I I just never got the the sense that it was real and then I asked my dad Like is that stuff real and he says no and I was like, oh So that's that's my religious upbringing. There you go.  I just I just don't even remember a time thinking that my relationship Like like like like I was never into god But at this point my relationship with god is basically the same sort of relationship I had with my kids after my wife divorced me after finding her in bed with another woman Non-existent.  I just I just hate it so much I can't even remember if there was any a time where I believed any percent Ever I remember being like the much he does the zero percent run on his religious speed running. Yeah, okay Okay, I remember being like 14 or so and being in the shower one day and just being like wait a minute I don't think I really believe all this god stuff. Wait a minute touching my willy feels so good. It can't be wrong. There's just no way This is a sin. It was pretty it was pretty sick Did did any of you go to awana by the way? Do you any of you know what that is awana? Awana means family. I saw that movie in theaters. It was okay. Yeah Awana, I don't know what you mean.   Like like seven I keep my like the age group for this is I'm like Eight or ten or I'm probably around eight anyway at seven there would be a church You know in in in my town and I would go there at like every Wednesday at seven And here's I'm gonna break awana into three parts the running around in the circles part The killing part and then the scary part Uh, the the first part was my favorite because it involved there is a big circle out in the uh, like field A lawn of the church just this big circle and there you would play games to warm yourself up into the god loving Spirit and then the god fearing spirit. Sorry.   I'm I'm so happy it didn't even though my fondest memories of kid are still running around in circles And I still do that That's that that sounds rough, buddy Um, I I also want to you know, the reason that I suggested we do religion It's because I wanted to come clean guys I I I I I need to confess because I am in fact a a a secret religious person Uh more than anyone in the world see, okay The reason I have a problem is because I was deeply embarrassed by my own religious beliefs as a child So now I feel the need to destroy the temple uh that these were founded on So that's what this has all been about my whole life.    I was like, this is it This is the answer I've been looking for. Uh, this is what I'm going to be This gives me power over my peers. I can go lambast them for for for You know all their minor infractions against god and man aka me Uh, so here I go from this point on I began a year-long crusade Against those around me in school and otherwise who would use the word god in any situation And uh, who would just swear to the even the slightest degree I I I became that kid in quotes that kid in in fucking parentheses that kid I remember times in your childhood when you would just never swear I remember a years long period where you would never ever swear I remember it as just like I'm sure that went on but there was a distinct year where I became a Zealot of telling people to not swear nor use the name god at in any context in any context You must say the lord or you know, just be polite about it.  I became I started my own one-man crusade and uh, just Just looking back on it. It's so humiliating to me that I did that that I swore I would destroy the temple That indoctrinated me into this belief. So that's that's the real reason why I I you see god is real I just want to confirm for everybody god is real, but I am mad at him. That's why I'm an atheist That's why I That's that's this is real. There you go. Okay. So that's that's my story. I'm sticking to it Do you have a definitive moment when you realized you were not religious? Do you have like a like a moment? I been shared his I actually I think what made me Like what would give said way before about like how people just don't think about it What what I remember is that like, okay dirt when I was 16 and I was getting confirmed Um, you know, which is like when you go through the confirmation like the pros of like becoming a real christian or whatever Um, you have to like you get hate. Yeah, like for us.  Yeah, I'll always I'll always remember I forget the name of the guy, uh, but he called me. He said he liked me. Yeah, bro. Mr. Waterman Yeah, it was mr. Waterman. Yeah, I got he was my like confirmation mentor, too Yeah, he was cool. He was all right. I liked him a lot. Um, but Uh at the during the process of like going through this thing of like, okay, let's actually think about god Like what is he like? Why do I believe in him? Because I faced those questions. I realized wait a minute There like is no reason to believe any of this And then I read death note and I was like, well It's over. It's over question answered Uh, so it was it was like during it was when christianity was put to the test in my life That's when I realized like, okay, there actually is really no reason to like believe any of this boy They really they really didn't get the outcome. They were looking for there. Did they Indeed and no, we were uh, we were a congregationalist protestant. Whatever that means Which whenever I asked mom and dad, what does it mean that we're congregationalists? Like what is that? They would tell me but they would only explain it in so far as to explain how we were not catholic I don't think that's what it is. I don't think they understood what congregationalism actually was they just Knew they wanted it to be a protestant church and this was the one in our town the problem with uh, uh, uh, uh, Protestantism and congregationalism and you know, all these other protestant subdivisions is that their whole problem is that they They just they they believe that catholicism is true. They just hate it. They just don't like it.   Oh, no, what have I done?   Yeah, it's all good. It is such an absurd notion I honestly think a lot of these people like just thought it was like an obvious joke Like kind of like flat earthers today Like it's it's either people who are just really dumb and not critically thinking or Like they like they just think it's a joke that's just gotten out of control And like I think so many religious people are just the butt of a big joke going on in their face And I'm like guys, this is embarrassing. Please just like think about this What do you like you're being humiliated publicly by me right now? I feel like this has become like the christianity podcast. Do you have any like thoughts on other religions? I kill the other religions. I don't I think they're all I wouldn't treat any religion different than the other when I say christianity. I just mean any religion Okay, because I because I um, it's just easy to say any religion Okay, you know, you know, it's a cool religion in the sense that it really isn't a religion at all is long buddhism Oh, I have something to say about buddhism.  Okay.   I want to be happy He was really happy after a period of being really sad my first girlfriend converted to buddhism while we were dating I don't see why you would need to convert to buddhism because like I say It's not a real word. Just just start they she started adopting the principles. I suppose it's probably more accurate Okay, yeah, well, yeah There was a while where I was uncomfortable calling myself an atheist and I was just like no like I'm just not into christianity I I'm into you know god and stuff Because sure and and and by the way a lot of people go through that In case you think that was contradictory what I was saying earlier This this is in complete regard to how I presented myself to my family So I wasn't going to say to my mom. Oh, I'm an atheist. I was going to say no no no I'm just I'm just a buddhist. I'm just a buddhist and she was like, oh, yeah, what are they believing?  I've never been to one I I think I'd be I want I went to one there was we had like, um In primary school still because it's all saints church. We have a few like religious Um expedition uh, we uh, what do you call them school trips trips? Yeah. Yeah, we went we went to see a synagogue I think we went to a mosque at some point.  It was like White marble all the way around and it's so elaborate like to contrast the non white people Yeah, they love it hindu's uh hindu's a pretty aesthetic religion too.  You're right. You're right. Um, okay. Well, this is all cool and all but my favorite religion I'm just gonna say in terms of aesthetic. I know I'm gonna sound like a wee but it's definitely shinto shinto is sick Shinto looks awesome unacceptable What do you come on the red though those red things that their temples are beautiful and it's an oh my favorite anime Oh my god. Plus. It looks nice. Let's not forget that the pcp guy is canonically a shinto god Let's not forget that.   I saw this.  It had a lot of interesting things It was uh, it was this guy who usually does like a gardening show about like You should prune these bushes over the winter months because blah blah blah. It's like this old like english guy I was like, oh And he went he was going across like, um middle east Places and palaces to to look at the the gardens of like Kings and muslim temples and palaces that were built around oasis Because that's like a real such an important thing in a desert obviously is water And if you have water The the way you show your wealth and stuff is to plant trees and bushes and and plants and it's like And it was looking around all these muslim things. I'm like It's pretty good.    Come on Where's your flying carpets?   Yes Oh, no Yeah, Aztecs and Mayans they they they I love old buildings.  Where's all the rocks because we stop leaving? Oh, you're okay to completely rob the fun from this discussion.    There are less people who believed in god as a result of their actions Have you guys seen the road to eldorada by any chance you probably have yeah, the greatest film ever made Nate breaking out the hardcore killing people is bad.  I ask you The sacrifice in the heart was literally a cheat code was literally a cheat code to get a good harvest They all they're all wearing oculus riffs during that was their ceremonial headdress I mean, what is what is the afterlife? But a giant video game that we're all implored to um to buy like season passes to to that We're all implored to pre-order to make sure we get all the sweet loot. Yeah Yeah, you're not wrong. It's funny because it's actually true All right guys, I'm gonna queue up for competitive.    I read the hunger games. That is sick I read the hunger games. I know what that's all about Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. I know I know your district gets fed for the year Yeah, yeah, that's cool.  Yeah, it's like that's not a real good religion It's not a religion. You know what? It was so aesthetic. Everyone wore red. Um They all wore red.  These are all individual, you know We have even the best part of the Aztecs is that when they when they when they kill an anime unit They get free bonus Culture points. Yeah That is good.  That's great.  Those are the best units in the game. They literally are good for scouting Dude, I love dark Templars. You can't even see them when they're out there. It's sick.  He's right. I'm just gonna say uh, they literally gave the pope a copy of Undertale because it's the most important in that present a made in video game Fucking matpat gave him a steam key to for Undertale Did didn't after the pope was given undertale didn't he like write like a blog post or however They do in the catholic church about how like video games are evil didn't Didn't that happen? I'm pretty sure that's real.  No because he didn't like the undying goat without I told you it was a forced character pairing.  Is it so unresponsive?  That's why god is real This is that is excellent.  That's how you win the game That is the final battle.  It was great. Good game fun game I've got a question. I've got a question about video games What is your favorite fake video game religion that you've seen in a game? Good question You know what I really love I love It's kind of a cop out but in final fantasy tactics. There is uh, it's called the the church of zoltana I believe that it's basically a 100 percent parallel four of the catholic church But in that vein it has sick demons. It has summons.  I just want to be a hip trendy hipster and hang out in the coolest clubs in tokyo Why would that why would anyone want anything else ben just I don't know if you've heard about this Have you heard they're making a remastered version of the world ends with you for nintendo switch? Are you aware of this?  It's got a new character. Um, it's gonna be something. All right, just throw that out there Okay, that's pretty cool. Every single best guy ever video sponsored by nintendo everyone No, I'm good. I am good. Okay. Go on munchie. What's your favorite religion in video game?  I don't care about like final fantasy. No, no Okay, you know what I take it back the best religion in any video game is the one that the main character of hatred Not important practices where he's out there murdering everyone. Uh, that's mine.  Let's finally get this actual topic started at we've been procrastinating for an hour and three minutes Okay, I'm gonna get to the real me and both of this topic spirit science and how it reveals the entirety of the human history And how to live your life to the fullest extent.  It's glowing.   We were so right brained.  He knew dude. He knew he had to get rid of these unearthly beings Look, I'm not gonna say hitler did everything right, but that was one thing he did do right It had to be done. The aliens had to be excised. Okay Uh on the actual real point about spirit science. Uh, my mom literally believes that Oh, no, oh, no, this is the reason I came on the podcast As as identified by the fact that on the pcp sign up like the spreadsheet thing we have Uh, it just says my mom where my name. Yes, that's uh my mom for the past like Two years at this point whenever I enter the car with her She'll have an audiobook plane and without fail. It's always about the law of attraction Nothing else just the law of attraction like like gravity. Is that what that is? No, Nate. No, do not know about the law of attraction Please explain it to me. Oh my god. I'm a child. Prepare to get school You need you need to lecture us on the spirits The spirit science stuff because I I still I I couldn't get through those videos. There's so many of them Believe me hippo. I'll give you and everyone else a lecture on spirit science later Excellent.  It will be great. There's no way this can't happen That's the ship from the secret. That's the secret, right? Yeah The universe will hear your call and give you a really cool hat. No questions asked. Why do people believe the shit? What is happening? You know, you know what the thing about that is is that that can kind of that can kind of like Disguise itself as a real thing because if someone wants to challenge it on a metaphysical level You can backpedal and be like, oh, well, no, no, you see because if you're thinking about it You're more likely to take actions that will lead to it. That's right. It's all just like But that's not really what it is. Like that's that's not what the real argument for this law of attraction is They're arguing that your thoughts have some sort of psychic resonance throughout the universe that when they say like Obviously do you need to like get to higher vibrations or whatever?    I gotta our dimension I got a kind of lingus delini for you right here, my friend. All right. Listen. Listen. Listen When I hear someone say they believe in god, like I'm not happy about it, but I'm like, okay, you know I'll forgive you.  Because they never want to defend this lord's name in vain It brings me right back to those On the crusader. Oh my god, that sort of reminds me like that's the way I Think and treat people who say yeah, I mean I believe in ghosts Like it's never a religion thing is always something like ghosts Ghosts are cool But it's not about cool. It's about real No No, well, okay. Okay. Okay.  Let's compare our ghost notes I would just Okay, but like when someone like the whole god thing like the the entire world is engulfed by belief in god So like I get it like this person Yeah, to some degree you're not wrong.  I but I get it.  Just you know, they had to actively seek that out and subject themselves Like it is it just tells me they're on a next level. They're on the next level. Maybe I need those crystals, Nate Maybe some people need their maybe some people find comfort Yeah, these people just keep your jail crystals at home people where I keep mine I don't bring them up in casual conversation with people I meet on the street like you do Like what what is the argument here?  They're like, okay There's no proof. So that's like a rabbit and literally back into a corner and we don't know what he's gonna Do. Thanks. Yeah, exactly.  I know it is. Is they play too much crush bandicoot and I think crystals actually have power They play too much final fantasy. They're like, yeah, crystals are real, man.  It's it's too much I'm not I'm not saying that women shouldn't play video games, but I am saying gamer girls are Gamer girls are far more susceptible to the to the insidious nature of of the crystal indoctrination Of so many video games. That's why so many girls live final fantasy I feel like it's important to chart the progression of how my mom got here. If that's all right My mom my mom grew up in like in the deep south and was a you know, some sort of like You know denomination of prostant was a really strict household and then like, you know Later down the road when I came along she tried to get me to become a god person as well It's all culminated in one Easter where I fortunately for her you instead became a god, which is not part of the plan I'd be too powerful Anyway, one Easter After sermon was over. I was like I said to my mom mom churches are really scary God the bible. It's scary.      There's no foundation here upon which all this is built And uh, if I'm wrong, please give me the evidence. I mean, I mean is the goal that like does she just want to make sure You're a good christian boy and your soul is safe and everything Is that is that the goal here? She's not trying to Convert me.  Like I said, whenever I enter the car She'll be playing an audiobook and then and then I'll just like put it in the headphone Like, oh, I know you don't like the stuff for whatever reason.   Do you guys know about this? Is that true?     Yeah.  Yeah Well, okay, I mean i'm not an expert but that's my understanding of what the bible actually says happens to Okay, so it's in this actual interpretation.  Yeah, they're just dead.  Not if the bible has anything during bible spaces right now My dad that's my dad is I know my dad has said that like he looks forward to meeting his You know people who have passed on in the afterlife. It might have been a while Maybe that's dated information from the guy, but he has said it and I I guess there's just literally no basis for it The crux of everything of this entire thing like that's the only really reason religion still has any sort of place in modern society with all this This science and technological progression proving like the ancient myths or whatever religion has been beaten back from every area The only reason the only reason it still has any sort of hold on anyone is because we're all afraid of death And this is like the way you cope with it is like well when I die, I'm not actually dead Exactly.   Yeah, that really is Insane I mean I knew she wasn't gonna say yes Oh my god, you almost dated vinyl scratch I know He almost dated her Yeah, it was like it was like right either way. It could have gone either way It was right there It was a coin toss Exactly, exactly.  It's time to get the gang back together guys and watch our new christmas album I literally didn't have hundreds of stories from brony con. We could literally do that Yeah, we could oh, what do we got that raven cosplayer back on the pcp? Remember that guys? Oh my god, be incredible That was she was good. We can we can do it through. Um, yeah, what's her name? The big one it was just a she was just some girl sitting like there was a there was a time when we were all sitting in our thing Exactly, never mind. Oh, no, no, no. Not not Tara strong Tara strong. I take Tara strong in the pcp though. Shout out to Tara strong Come on the pcp. Yeah Yeah, um Well, do you remember anything else to say on the topic of religion? I feel like we didn't have anything to say in the beginning So I don't know. Wait, wait, wait. I have I have something to say Um, I didn't know when to say this. I'll bring them now. I did start a religion a little I mean, okay, I say that but it was a really half-hearted effort and like I went and I looked into it a little bit And I I remembered being a bigger deal than it was. It's kind of embarrassing to even mention All I did was make a facebook group Describing a new religion and like see if I could get people to join it. Oh, it's funny. You mentioned this I I attempted to do this at one point as well. It was I don't really remember that much About it. I okay. I remember that it was called the church of transubstantialism um, and I oh well actually I think I remember the basic tenet the basic tenet of it is that um Reincarnation is real, but there's only like one soul in the universe and the and you are that one soul like Reincarnated throughout time and you will eventually be re reincarnated as every living thing that has ever existed Oh, that's kind of like the theory where there's one electron that exists ever simultaneously. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's like lording Right.  I never got so far to give it a name.  That's pretty good, you know It should be like tips for door is them because it's such a it's such a uh, I think I want to If you'll accept it, tom, let's call it exemptionism and make that the official like let's let's apply that Exemptionism sounds almost like it could be a real. It does. It does. I'll accept that as the official religion of the pcp All right Yeah, the church of exemptions here. We are start that out right now Fucking hashtag that and just so you know the pcp is the official Keepers of the religion. We are the popes. We speak to god directly. We are the popes nine I dub the all my high priests of exemptions. Oh, thank you. Thank you, tom We're um, we're we're ideologically opposed to paying any of the fees associated with patreon kickstarter youtube It's all it's all because everything we make is for god And and we shouldn't have any false idols and to give away any of the fruits of our our labor to anyone other than god And since we are our own temples for god by giving it to ourselves until we meet our maker and give everything We've created to them in the meantime. We have to hold on to everything Which is deadly Functions, we're heavily inspired by the ancient pharaohs where we need to be buried in giant tombs with all our possessions So please government do not take them. This is part of the pyramid is our symbol and the dollar is our Also symbol. Yes, I've just created a new religion just now called grind jealousism grind jealousism and the longer like like For say you have a scooter or a skateboard for as long as you oh, yes That time is equal to the time you have in the afterlife.   So here's something to be doing.  Well, unfortunately for you, Ben. It's just true.  Yeah, exactly. I say with my new my new skater lingo Please the god Amazon yeah Tapping over to buy the hot new skateboard. Yes, exactly with pcp branding on it, of course, of course We should literally get a pcp brand skateboard and sell that on someplace. We should what was it the grindology? I forget what it was grind jealousism grind jealousism excellent Well, we've got two new religions for you to choose from they're both 100 accurate and represent reality completely So they now have a religious war in the and remember don't limit yourself to just one box. So do them both Please you can patronize twice with two accounts. So please do so. You're always free to have a personal relationship with god However, we see fit to divide that out and remember guys if you want something you'll get it No matter what that's the secret Indeed that's the secret. So the church of grind jealousism and the church of exemptionism both. All right.  So go to patreon.com Procrastinators exactly give to the donation box of the high priests and you'll be rewarded greatly It's the only way to make sure your money goes the cause worthy of it in the afterlife. Yes Unless bonus episodes are your jam in those cases. Oh, you know what? We should make an exemption like obviously you want all your goods In exemptionism to like be with you when you die But there is there was a clause where if you funnel it up the pyramid towards the top of the exemptionism church That's acceptable as well. So you said it straight to us via patreon. Exactly. You're still gold. You're still gold Hashtag PC pyramid scheme Exactly. Exactly. All right guys. I think we've done it. This is excellent. I think we've solved religion With this is finally like the the end stone to end all religion discussion There is literally nothing that can be argued here.  So we're finally at the moment I see another person even mention god's name in vain I will obliterate them as we've proven that that is antithetical To all sense of morality or ethical equanimity.  We're all finally free We've shook it out of our system and this tired charade. Yeah fantastic Well, let's uh, let's shift on over to those questions. Familia Actually, can you please give the twitter uh, pity question the the one twitter pity question here All right, everybody. Let's let's let's check out what we got here Let's pull up some hashtag ask PCP questions for our for our lowly non-patroning Viewers out there disgusting. Let's see what we got Okay Xtreme 42 asks What's your process for watching a youtube channel?  Chronologically or just watch whatever you deem interesting Um I if if it's in series I like to I like to watch by playlist like usually I'll just click around If I find a new channel, I'll just click like the recommended videos and click around until I start to feel like I really love this like this whole thing and then usually I'll seek out a playlist and like Go through it and watch all the stuff that I haven't seen already Yeah, when I when I I I see a new channel I watch the recommended videos same thing, but when I feel like I really like it I go to the very first video and then watch the whole backlog same as hippo Um, I I've actually been doing a really weird thing as I think I discussed in in my in my own time here I've been watching a lot of hello internet because I want to catch up on that because I've never entertained that before and I've been doing a really weird awful roundabout way where I've been like Slowly eating away from either side I've been watching like like like the latest episode and then like one of the first episodes And I've been going back and forth like that and eventually I'll reach somewhere in the middle And that will be the last episode I watch and then I'll just move on forward from that I don't know how this is started, but I can't stop it and it's fucking awful So that's the mean don't do it I've been forever to like actually watch the angry video game nerd and like I feel uncomfortable just like jumping in So I want to start from the beginning. I I know it's just it's just a problem to not be watching already I don't know for for he's got sort of like a narrative in a crafted show So like for a show like that. I want to start from the beginning There's no narrative between episodes.  He doesn't he doesn't explain that every single time Right, you just have to like know the the the mythos and so it's like best watched from the start if you want an optimal experience So that's that's my plan. Yeah, it would be very interesting just to see how badly that his age because it's so true I I've watched all of them quite recently and some of the earlier ones are they've never been that good But there's like like 10 or so episodes in they start becoming classics.  I remember in fifth grade Finding the angry video game nerd and then like like on my way home from school talk to my friend and like Because we both watch it and in fifth grade. I was like, you know, all he does really just swear a whole bunch I don't know if this is really the highbrow constant I'm making for in fifth grade I I um God, yeah, I started watching at some point. I was so bored I just I put on angry video game I watched like the entire series of angry video game nerd as a playlist and at the end I was like, man I'm glad I didn't have anything better to be doing Sick Whatever I was just gonna say that like that's a show that I would watch like in direct order But there's tons of other stuff I just like watch with whatever like seems interesting or whatever. Yeah, I don't know Yeah, I mean I don't watch on youtube. I don't watch a lot of stuff that needs to be seen in order We can't spend any more time on this. This is the pity question He's right. He's right from the patreon discord from super fish Favorite national slash state slash providential flag. I would say my two flags are either the original union jack the imperial japanese flag or or or um, that's it by um That the easy easy answer at maryland or brazil.  I'm googling this right. Is that the yeah that black? Thing it looks like a taxicab combined with a knight with a templar. Yeah, exactly. It's awesome Um, I mean, it's a little it's it's played out But I'm a big but I really like the uh, the the national flag of napal because it is not It defies conventions Because it's not a rectangle. It's like two tiny triangles.  Um, I got to go with my boy of the rebel flag because hashtag heritage not hate. Uh, that's um, wait What rebel flag the confederate flag of course star wars. Oh Yeah, I'm actually joking.

I know how it's spelled It's don't tread on me and our dad is a flag like that. Yeah He does.  Oh, yeah I like the welsh flag because it's got a dragon on. Oh, yeah, the welsh flag is sick Hippo, I don't I don't know if you'll even know what what is your favorite union jack the original or the current one? Uh, the original doesn't have the extra white doesn't it doesn't have the extra red going going through the like doesn't have the extra like I don't know I I'm not as I I I don't know whether I like it with the red Wait, what is this what is this original union jack? I can't find it It's the union jack is a combination of flags and there was a time when all of the flags were in it Right. Oh, it's missing the like red bars and the diagonals. Yes. Oh, it looks way better with them Uh, no Okay, you know jack is super me I guess I just like the english flag It's just cool. Dude, remember where one gurren lagon was going to be on the union jack. I remember I I remember I remember it was pretty cool.    I I do like the bear I do like the bear the most powerful flag of all time the most representative one of our current struggle. That's the antifa flag.  That's the good one.    Oh, that's god. Is that it?  No, bro Why is only one bar blue?  It's so unbalanced. No, I'm getting dizzy. I'm like getting dizzy looking at it. It's like a lightsaber That was probably the inspiration.   You know our oppressed brethren There's brown and black for black people Yeah, they added that like a couple of years ago. Like there was like there was like a meeting where like they added I know it has nothing to do with it. That's so terrible.  Yeah, I know I know Welcome to current year.  Yeah, that's right, right? That's awful. Uh, let me say so confused Right right here. Yeah, that's the one. That's the one. Why only? That looks so bad. It looks bad and the meaning is just like why Uh, I mean because they're a minority. Wait, wait, wait. Is that actually what it means? No, I swear to god that that that was a thing that actually did happen Hashtag more color more pride. Okay. It's to represent lgbt people of color. Well, they're lgbt The flag already represents this. This was the argument that everyone was saying and it's intersectionality just going a little bit Yeah, the reals might be here we go, but uh But the flag already represents all queer people. I know I know they feel that minorities need more extra special representation within the lgbt community have a second flag. No We can fly two flags It's so funny because it now implies that the red stripe the orange the yellow the green the blue and the purple or all different races Now that's no no white flag. No, no, no white stripe.  Well, if you combine them all So the red ones the native americans the yellow one is the asians And then they also represent orcs. That's the green one Oh, we need to get rid of that blue one because I'm so confused because like what the black stripe is for black people and the brown is for Just miscellaneous or like minority in general, I guess Indian people or something. I don't I don't know. I don't know. I don't know Look, I get the I would have just added the black like even if I thought this was a good idea Like I would have just added the black I actually don't hate this as much as a lot of people do But I would just argue that like it doesn't it doesn't actually help what they're trying to do Like I don't have a problem. Okay. All right. There you go. I'm not like I don't know. Yeah, shout out to my boys with the asexual flag.  Look at this. Look look at these stripes for the asexual flag It's sick. It's not bad. It's not bad Also got to shout out the mig towel flag Big towel here wrapped in my my brothers. Um, we're going our own way What's that? There was actually a mig towel flag. Of course. Of course my never seen it As seen on nate's shirt in our retrieval. Yes Okay, I'm looking for it. This is all right. This is the symbol. What could be less manly than being artsy and making something This is the symbol, but uh, it's on put it on a flag and there you go.  Let's proceed to our next question. I think we exhausted this speaking of arm retrieval From tadpo in the patreon lounge Who on this week's pcp hasn't supported or shared arm retrieval con 3 go fund me I am Okay, I did share it because homestuck is gay. I did share it munchy, but I am also Like I shared it right before the show and I said, okay. Well, I gotta do the show I got a lot of people.  And so should you viewers? Yeah, so should you go to gofund me dot com slash arm retrieval con II and in between all of those words are dashes Please go there. That's where I'll be give us some money.  I have donated I've given eight bucks. Oh, so that was not bad. It was a lorries. Hey, there you go Uh, listen new new real question. Please listen I would give money to To this arm retrieval, uh illicit fund happening here. It's just okay I gotta think about where my money's actually going. Uh, do I really want to send money to the the the disgraceful illicit Ethan and steve. Is that something I could look myself in the mirror in the morning and say I did a good thing today. I'll donate, you know, on the condition that they are banned from Oh, perfect steam Famed remover of sildex. He's the one who went back and added all the old panels So they were removed from the comic. Is that true? Did he do that? No He doesn't have access to mspadvention.com Maybe Uh, I thought he meant for a personal archive. Okay. Well, anyway, uh, yes, everyone give give money All the money do empty your wallet For arm retrieval because there will be nothing else besides So, okay next question. What else we got? Um, I have from me cool man in the patreon lounge When did you wake up today? Um as of this recording 24 hours ago? 24 hours ago is when I woke up. Okay in real life When you got woke. Yeah, I got woke.  Is that is that what we're yeah, when did you take the red pill? I told you when I was 14 in the shower.  Hold on one second Okay, I yeah, uh, let me let me go on to I found the exact date august 10 2011 the date know, you're me myla pony was released And thus the day I first started watching my little pony that's the day when I got woke August 10 2011 That's good. That's good All right, here's another question from haid in the patreon lounge again Favorite kind of meat.  Ham boy or other sort of meat? Uh, does does seafood count like like does the shellfish count? He did say fish. Absolutely. Yeah fish Yeah, I would probably go. I think scallop might be my favorite meat of all Where's cock meat?    I love fish. They got omega threes They're they're killer.  It's so yeah, yeah I'm happy although I really like sushi and I guess you couldn't have that without fish So there there is the novelty factor at play in fish for me Because I never had a lot growing up and it kind of made it seem cool in my own head But I still love it and they're yeah, it seems fancy. I thought fish were just so cool Eating fish was delicious and I didn't do it enough and it's super low fat Like we never eat fish and when we did it was like, whoa, we're having fish Whoa. Yeah, exactly. And it's super locale and it's got lots of great Unsaturated fats. It's it's super local If that's yeah local fish is Is not very flavorful you need to put a lot of oil and stuff on it before it tastes like anything except prawns prawns are good Okay, sure shrimp. What do you call them? I don't know. Yeah, there's loads of different types of that little guy You're you're right. Yeah, you're not wrong Chicken is like the main staple chicken is is best. Do you guys Has anyone like eaten prawns where you have to rip the shell off by hand? Yes. Yes. Yeah, that's the worst I love that. Um, I love it. That's for some reason.  Why wouldn't the chef take it off?  Here's the point. Here's the point of keeping the shell on because when you're boiling them um the flavor of like the the meat the flesh Uh gets diminished if it doesn't have the shell on like the shell cooks it somewhat So when you serve it you have the shell and then you take it off But like keep them in the shell all the time keep them in the shell But like they these are these are not shelled shrimp. Well, they are shelled shrimp.  I don't know what that is Which is like the way you're supposed to have it is Yeah, I get that but I don't think that applies here Uh, I like I like shrimp cocktails You just eat the shrimp and you dip it in the marinara sauce or whatever it's called Yeah, like in that case it's fine because you hold it by the tail and you like you kind of bite it out But in like a pasta.  I realized I liked it Are you familiar? Fried shrimp is literally the best shrimp Fried shrimp tempura is delicious. Are you familiar with the beaver boys by any chance, munchie? Okay, the beaver boys are an elite group of of of young heroes living in America and living the high life that that That love two things and two things only shrimp and white wine And these two things comprise the entirety of their being shrimp and white wine the beaver boys They are from tim and eric and you should go check them out as soon as we're done They're from they're from several tim and eric episodes. You should check them out. They're excellent uh Other questions. What else we got?   How about this right here? I don't know. Kidera in the patreon lounge asks if you could pass along any of your own skills slash talent to someone of the PCP what skill would that be and who would you give it to? Hmm I this is basically why I'm better than x person.  Well, Nate, I would give you my caring about my brother's feelings. My body would reject it like a bad friend.  Indeed.  I would give hippo my lung capacity. Oh, that's a good one. That would be good. I would love that.  I would give munchie my heterosexuality. No, no, no, get that away from me. Wave that asexual flag as fast as you can. I would give hippo my 3D skills because I want to see him make animation.  It's a real disgrace. He needs to get with the times. It's time to fatten up. Time to get thick. That's what the people want. Yeah, that's right. I'd give hippo my incredibly disgusting eating habits when I just engorge on junk food. So he can get some meat on his bones. Indeed. For you, it just keeps you skinny for some reason. But you just got the fastest metabolism in the world, I guess. I just wear baggy clothes. You don't know. Oh, fair enough. I would give Nate my muscle-less body. Oh, no. He would be crippled instantly. No. How cruel. How vicious. Here's a question for Gib. I'm just curious about this. AutisticBiden asks, Hippo, do you still play Fire Emblem Heroes? What is your favorite Fire Emblem game? This is a terrible question. No, I was just curious. Are you still playing this game? Because it was like a thing. I had to take it off my phone because I wanted to play Pokemon Go, and it kept updating, and I didn't have space. It was alright, and I might play it again, but eh. Okay, okay. I'm just curious about the continuity of all these kinds of mobile games, because me and Kingdom Hearts have fallen out of ways with the mobile game.  It's not fun. It's not fun. What's your favorite Fire Emblem?  Final Fantasy 8. It depends on my mood. But either of those games are the best game I've ever made. Hippo is a capricious creature. Indeed. I see a pretty good question here. Let's make it the last one, because I feel like we're wrapping up here. Okay, well, Plastic Gargoyle asks, this question is based on the assumption that there was a point in life when you were a wee lad when you weren't actively pursuing art. How has your view of art and artists changed since actively pursuing it as a career? And my answer for that is just that I don't respect them as much. Hmm, reasonable. I don't think, because I'm kind of doing the same thing, and now I don't think what they do is special anymore. That makes sense. I don't know whether I'm, like I can't remember a time where I wasn't thinking about doing art, because I was always like people praising my drawings when I was a little kid. So I don't really know whether I was ever thinking about doing something else. But I also, at the same time, feel more connected to them, and almost like they're my friends, like we have like commonality. Like sometimes I think about Andrew Hussey just grinding out pages of Homestuck like for days on end, and I just think like, yeah man, I feel ya.  Sometimes I think about Andrew Hussey dating some fan artist, and then when she breaks up with him, she stays the PR manager of his company. I still don't know what's on my thinking about that. The ultimate cockledry. Okay, I mean, how sad, how unfortunate. My perception of artist has not changed at all. Basically, basically. Oh, actually, actually, my perception of this band of artists, the PCP, has changed dramatically, actually. I now feel the same way Ben does. I don't feel like it's that special anymore. Yeah, that certainly makes sense. It's great. I don't know. Yeah, I generally agree. I feel myself a little more jaded in a sense. Like, okay, a lot of people, I've been thinking about this lately. I've seen a lot of people talking about, I think I watched, maybe it was like Philip DeFranco or something. It was something about the new changes to the monetization stuff on YouTube. We're now like, if you have less than a thousand subs, or you haven't gotten like 4,000 hours of watch time, in the last year or something, then you're not eligible for monetization. I'm not commenting on that, but people were bringing up the point that like, okay, it's really hard to make it as an artist on YouTube, and obviously it's just getting harder, and maybe I'll make it. But they've really been, a lot of people have been saying, you shouldn't make this like your main thing unless you're super successful. You should keep working your job and just make this like a hobby to keep it pure. And I've really been rebelling against that in my own mind, but I don't know. I'm kind of split on the issue. I personally am dedicated to making it happen. But like, if you look at something like Weagawa, Weagawa is a reaction to my evolving understanding of how to make it in this world.   So like, I'm wondering, and in fact, to be able to go full-time content creator, I might be able to then make like a Weagawa and get my bigger projects out faster because I'm like getting paid for doing art in general and don't have to go to like a wage slave job and, you know, it might work out that I make more and better art in that way. But also it's possible it might not work out that way. I don't know. I'm a little bit, I feel a little more jaded. I feel like someone with your disposition would increase their workflow dramatically because you're not somebody you're just going to be like, I guess I'm just going to eat Doritos and watch anime. You know, I sort of fear that. I sort of fear that. Like, I think Jesse said this, like a long time ago on the podcast, is that Mr. Plinkett, like Red Letter Media, the Mr. Plinketts were like great when they were around, but a lot of like the half in the bags and like just the silly videos with Mike and Rich just talking about something have just as many views and are also just as funny with so much less effort put into them. But they've realized that nothing, not everything has to be a Plinkett review. Indeed. And nothing has to be, not everything has to be like a big project that you spend a lot of time on to make it like really good because at the end of the day, the effect is the same. And at this point, you're totally right. And at this point, like I have enjoyed half in the bag possibly at this point as a collective more than I have enjoyed the Plinkett reviews. Like those are legendary. Nothing that's ever happened on half in the bag has had like anywhere near the kind of impact. Well, there are some exceptions to this. And like the one video they did on Jack and Jill as a half in the bag is like legendary and I think is like makes just as good a point and artistically so as was done in the Plinkett reviews. I'm not going to say that like artistically was quite on the same level as everything that happened in Plinkett. But the point like and the meaning behind it is a really good one and very interesting and presented in a great way. And like for and like when I was doing we Agua just because I like forced myself to grind out a bunch of videos I ended up making stuff that was like some of them were really great like people really liked the one where I talked about like working out like when I was just scrolling on you on like the 4chan looking for something to talk about that day and I saw the chart about the increase in like people signing up for the volleyball clubs in high school in Japan after the release of I forget like the the the manga about or the anime what was it? Was it Haikyuu? Yes, that's right. Haikyuu is the volleyball manga shown in jump slash anime and like I and then I was just it grabbed me spiraling off thinking about like all this stuff and I ended up making what I consider a really great video about that and you know non-kiromote do whatever it's called and so like great things can emerge when you put yourself on the grind and I don't know it's less likely that a we Agua will be as good as you're growing like in video but it's not impossible which is the point it's true and you know what I actually I only slightly disagree there I think even like the newest plinket I think is better like aesthetically like artistically it is better than even the best half in the bag which is the Jack and Jill one it's like you have to ask what the point of the art is because like when you think about it something the difference between a plinket review and half in the bag and the difference between like a we Agua and like Gurren Lagan is really mostly window dressing right yeah because it's like attracting people from like the visual presentation and things like that but if you made a we Agua about Gurren Lagan you would have hit on the same points it's just the presentation would have been very true I would actually challenge this I feel like this group in particular has been consciously moving away for not you know immoral reasons for a lot of for I think mostly for you know economic reasons and shit yeah economic and just you know not wanting to be stagnant they've been moving away from long like like a big big long not long form necessarily but big concise bombastic huge say everything you possibly can be it can say about a topic in one video highly structured and edited to a fine mirror shine to just spewing out shit all the time yeah that's true honestly because that works at least for me that's what we Agua was so that I could keep myself engaged in YouTube and keep people coming back I've tried very hard to not let my videos become like that I still try enough but like I feel like I also can't reach the heights like I've tried like the closest I got was my Rayman video which everybody loves and it's a big old thing but I don't even know whether that's like on the same level like proportionally like in a ratio sense to like a plinker review to what a half in the bag is like I don't know whether I've reached like a big project yeah well all I want to say I don't think there's like you know I love Viagua and I watch it as soon as it comes out just recently on the new one I got a letter from Psy who says that he like loves my old work but he said he's gotten so much more out of Viagua than he did for like the like it's like five best anime ever because they each took six months to make more or less so you know I will say like sure if we're going to look at it from like lens like eagle eye point of view what series have it gotten more out of sure maybe due to the fact that it just is so much longer I've gotten more out of Miyamata slash Viagua than best anime ever but here's the thing I rewatch best anime ever during the gun like pretty fucking frequently I do that all the time and whenever I do it I still am amazed by how well structured and fucking edited to a mere fucking shine it is and how incredible it is on every fucking level whereas Viagua I would never rewatch it I would never do that even though I think it's good to put on and you know I can draw on the background of it I just have the same weight to me you know that's right that's right to remember is that the reason why like this pivot is happening it's yeah it's an economic it's not a creative decision like if all things if all things were equal and like Nate you could have the exact same impact and make the exact same amount of money just slaving away over the next best anime ever as opposed to doing Viagua I'm pretty sure you would just do best anime ever I don't quite agree I think now that I've tried out Viagua I do actually like staying sort of in constant communication with my audience with like regular updates so I think yeah but you like that because of the economics I mean I like it because it keeps people interested in me which is part of what I need to do so there's always a practical component like we could dream that in a perfect world like that was what I was proposing the reason this is an economic choice it's not just economic though it's like just practically if I put out a best anime ever every six months people will just forget about me regardless of like how much money I'm making and I don't want that I want to stay active and I want to stay involved but I'm not trying to you know counter your anything please go on what's wrong with being like a piece of artist who just puts out a big bomb every now and then that's just not what I want to do that's all people succeed on that model well not as much anymore not on YouTube Mr. Beetong is not succeeding on YouTube because he's not making any money you were talking about succeeding as I was saying Mr. Beetong as an example he's not an example of that but like people love Mr. Beetong so much he's so niche and he doesn't overload you with stuff that is not interesting as interesting well what are we talking about economics or like a good channel I don't know you were talking about the way you want to be perceived like you want people to remember you I want to stay a constant force in people's lives that's that's true I want them to reflect and say ah yes let's see what best guy ever said to you now would you say that your goals have changed as in a response to doing Mia Maffova and we are go as a result I well let's not forget the reason I did Mia Maffova was because I was sick of people saying that they're that they only hear from me like every once every six months because that was never my intention I wanted to get things out faster I just you know have to work and don't have time I don't really care at all how much people hear from me I just want to leave them with a good impression I just want to leave them I just want to give them something cool and never I got it you know that's that's what I care about not even one iota of my original statement was to disparage we waggle or short form frequent content that's true I know I want I'm a little afraid that people will just only do short form stuff even though that is more economic you know and that's the reason they're doing things you know I would just like art to be what I like I totally hear what you're saying but for someone like me I would ask for for people to be charitable anyone who makes this point and unfortunately this is asking kind of a lot but do not judge someone like me on what I'm producing moment to moment I would say in a few years look back at what I created and then say well look I didn't get the content I wanted therefore this this time period I would consider a failure because you didn't make a single best anime ever you were too busy on we Agua and I'm not you know it goes with the management of history I think that is a perfectly reasonable thing to say I think it's just well it might be a failure to you as an audience member right just for your personal yeah you know you can make a case which is totally fine like I would argue that like the last year for example twin perfect is an interesting example to me where those guys actually it was very interesting recently they've been doing this entire year they've been doing a monthly recap they called like the perfect monthly recap and at the end of every month these that happened the previous month the problem was by the time they were doing this recap the entire news cycle for every store they talked about was completely over and nobody gave a shit anymore so like these videos they have like 55,000 subs or something they would get like 4,000 views and then at the end of this experiment that honestly I kind of think is them reframing like what they were doing they were like oh that was just an experiment and the whole like this was just in addition to our actual content that we actually care about we didn't want this to be popular anyway of of like our big analytical videos that they did of like the new alien movie like Prometheus something something the new one or whatever and other stuff and those videos do indeed get like generally hundreds of thousands of views people give a shit about those and they weren't into their review stuff so like those are that's an example of guys trying something and like not not it not working out very well in terms of like trying to do regular content because they didn't give the market what it needed they weren't snappy enough they weren't fast enough and they just like weren't engaged enough with the community even though they were trying to so that's the sort of thing you need to avoid if you're trying to make this kind of regular content I would say but they're they're a very interesting case but whatever I don't know yeah I I agree with everything said here I just I just want like like I was gonna say did you please make another a good video there it is there it is please you didn't like you didn't like his like hour long Makoto Shinkai or whatever no that was fine I don't like any of the other things that are constantly happening okay okay the oh god I don't want to talk about this who does who does I am shout out to Digibro what would you guys consider my like greatest project that I've made top 10 hippos top 10 fucking hippos is the greatest video of all time top 10 hippos like probably the funniest you're like oh no I really love the grpj is a lot mine I would love more of this there's a fish at the door that's true I forgot about those yeah your animations are really great hippo I'm just gonna tell you the right fucking now here's the munchie munchie opinion here's just lay it on the table game reviews stop animate draw that stuff here's what you're here's what you're going to do in my brain when I fantasize about it here's what I hope and when you don't do it I'll be disappointed as the fear of mind munchie predicts yeah exactly you should become the literally new control the lead you just make daily or like weekly comics not about video games just like like short comics just turn all of your puns on twitter into short comics you would be a billionaire it would be great I want to see you draw these your drawings are good and it would be funny and games fuck video games fuck them they're done there's no more you can do reviews are dead analytical content is over bye bye bye wiped off the map do new things create actual art real art isn't fake like analysis interesting idea me that's me your rebuttal hippo oh no don't worry I don't know okay I I like I like the bugs life review I like I like I like I like all of the videos I just don't want no no no no don't back down I well now that we've slayed Gib there was a thorough examination of that last question but but it was good good stuff there all right well I guess that's it everybody that was our last question thank you everybody go into patreon.com slash the
