- Our first podcast is LIVE! “We Didn’t Read It” with American High Shorts and College Life cast members Julia DiCesare, Hyde Healy, Ryan Micho, and Grace Reiter is an improvised podcast where the gang, guided by producer Heath Cottengim, attempts to act out novels and historical events that they have little knowledge of. The result is a hilarious, unpredictable, and educational experience with a different setting each week. New episodes every Wednesday on Spotify, RUclips and Apple!

i'm not american but after watching this i feel as though i am both american and high
Me too and school also
LOL HAHAHAHA
hahaha
I’m CACKLING! This is great!
Lmfao gud line brother🤣🤣
“Because being fat and gay is the worst thing you can do when your 12”
I know Piggy is often seen as Ralf's sidekick but I always saw him as the main character
Im fat and gay
Bro didn’t have to call me out like that 😭
@@Cats-c8u damn straight you are!
Ruh roh
“Welcome back to we didn’t read it!”
Considering this is episode one, this is an iconic line.
I caught that too, it's the only time that intro won't make sense
My favorite part of this video is the fact that they are describing the 90s movie and not the actual book. The captain dies during the crash at the very beginning and the beast is a soldier who dies during an aircraft attack in the air while they slept.
Just shows they haven't read it (like the title says) 😂😂😂
I’m sure Golding would have rewrote it had he watched the movie.
Oh I was questioning that thanks lolll
@@HeathCottengim . . . He really wouldn't have. The point of the book was a parody of British school boys if they were left without adults.
Thank you I was so confused!!
i hate the way this book is taught in english classes because it’s always framed as, “this is what would happen if all of you were stuck on a deserted island” and then the teacher leaves the room and waits for it to develop into full anarchy and it literally never does because the book is SATIRE!! and nobody understands that!!
there’s also a huge time skip, and it actually takes the boys several months to actually commit a single act of intentional violence. when they do turn on each other, it’s because there’s a war happening, a pilot’s corpse crash lands on the island post-dogfight, and the children mistake the parachute for a monster and spiral into paranoia. this book is really about imperialistic, mind-poisoned children inheriting the legacy and trauma of violence from the adults waging war around them!!
It still has a good lesson
THIS!!!
Also I am pretty sure there was a survival story out there where a literal similar situation happen there were boys who survived in a deserted island and you know what they survived and didn't attack each other they worked in harmony!
@@socialfreak2 they mention that at the end of the video! it was six tongan boys who were stranded for 15 months. they all survived, and i'm pretty sure the biggest injury that happened to any of them was a broken leg.
@@TheCulinaryCompanion yes, the lesson of generational trauma and violence. but english teachers never focus on that part and instead point and go "haha look this book proves humanity is inherently evil"
Hyde's "no you're not" in response to Piggy being a forward in soccer sent me into hysterics
Their banter is so funny
“I’m not gay” “well we don’t know yet, we’ll see” 😭😭😭GRACE
Timestamp?
18:43
Julia having to head to class at the end is so on brand for Julia. All the live streams start with “Julia’s not here because she’s at class”
British Grace is something I didn't know I needed, but can't live without now
I don't know, as a real life British person I think I will be a ok
@@savannaoconnor1982no one asked
Am I gonna stay up another 40 minutes to watch this? Yes. Am I exhausted? Also yes
Sane but I'm not tired
ME RIGHT NOW MAN
WHY IS THIS ACCURATE
Your pfp!! Swiftie?.?
yeah its 4am for me rn but im invested
I start feeling like American High is the little brother channel to College Dropout and I'm loving it tbh.
Oh for sure it’s gen Z college humor. It’s hilarious and I hope they grow even more!
Ryan kills so hard during this😂 it fits his monotone, not caring but still caring vibe perfectly
I love the line, “If you had a fire, we could come rescue you, but the law of the sea says I don’t have to.”
The “don’t have to” took me tf out. Like they can but won’t cuz they just can’t be bothered 😂
“gay coconut boy” 😭😭
👋 present teach
@@doggytheanarchist7876😂😂
I LOVED SIMON!!!!
@@MicaNonbinaryWriterme too🥺. My most fav character in the whole book
@@MicaNonbinaryWriterI love that everyone kind of just knows their names from watching the group even though they never actually introduce themselves 😂
"gay coconut boy" has me rolling 😂😂😂❤
OMG SAME 💀💀💀💀
Isn't that the one guy from Ned's De-classified School Survival guide though?😂
Is it just me or this is like dnd without the dice
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING IT WAS GIVING DND SO STRONG
At this point they are like a sitcom where I only recognize them as characters and go "haha funny one Julia"
26:54
“one of jack’s hunting members pushes a boulder off of a cliff and it crushes piggy”
“what the 😂. NOOO-“
“NOOOO”
“get fucked piggy😂”
“NO PIGGY NOOO”
“I didn’t know if that was gonna be a big enough boulder, but it sure enough was😂”
“what the hell, man”
“clint, what was that?😂 what was that about, man?😂”
“clint, are you serious rn?”
“he was making fun of the scat man.”
“😂”
this entire part had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂
Having read Lord Of The Flies earlier this year in my American High School, I can confirm EVERYTHING in this video is correct and accurate
I’m reading it right now 💀
i read it over break several years ago and this was amazing to watch
@@marshmallowjr9859 did you finish it because I have to read it for class and I need to know if this video is accurate so I can watch this instead 😭
@@MJBond009 not yet sorry 😭 we read about 1/3 of it and then we just watched the film and I was asleep for most of it 😭
@@marshmallowjr9859 oh 😭 well I just watched another video on it, this was in fact no where near accurate 😭
My favorite part is the wide open door in the background that says in big letters “KEEP DOOR CLOSED”
Nice catch! That's a good eye!
“I didn’t know if it was gonna be a big enough boulder but it sure was” 💀💀💀💀
IDK THEIR NAMES IM SORRY
but 3:10 the way the blonde girl is refusing to break character and the other two across her are just dying laughing and then the dude next to her is barely speaking💀 i’m dead
The blonde is Julia! The guy next to her is Ryan. Then the other two is Grace, and Hyde!!
GRACE KEEPING THE VOICE WHILE EVERYONE TALKS NORMAL😂 I LOVE HER!!!!😂😂😂😂
I’m confused does she actually have a British accent
I’m so excited! I love this cast, and I’m sure this is going to be an amazing podcast. I’m glad Julia is here since she wasn’t able to come to a lot of the livestreams.
❤
grace has me dying already with her British accent 😂😂
grace has me dying immediately with that cold open accent change. literally had no idea what to expect from this video but i now need more of them.
This is giving me D&D vibes
I would love if they did a full dnd podcast series 😭❤️
Ryan: "Give me 2 things I could get at other places that I don't have on this island"
Julia: "You could get a real soccer ball"
Ryan: ...
Ryan: "Sold"
British Grace is now an Essential in my life
i watch all your shorts and never somehow subscribe. but after Grace saying "ASSUME WHO I AM?!?!?" that finally gave me the strength to subscribe.
hydes becoming my favorite 😭😭
Ik Hyde says insane things he’s so funnt
Hyde has been one of my favourites besides Grace lol 😭
@@cyberfangzed Grace is obviously the goat her dedication to her roles as well as her range is just unreal
Oh Hyde is def one of my favorites
Hyde, Grace and Julia are the funniest ones. They never fail to make me laugh
only 3 min in and I'm fnking crying bc this is so funny. grace being the only one with the accent and then the silent laughing and finger-pointing at each other, all of it kills me.
Omg guys this is such a great idea for a podcast! Especially since you’re all improv students and can tell a great story, but at the same time it’s entertaining interspersed with real cliff notes lmao. And I also enjoyed the recap and analysis and quick discussion at the end. Really good way to engage with classic lit!
This is literally perfect for your group!! Love the structured improv and would absolutely love to see more
its so weird seeing these guys as actual normal people and not comically silly cartoon characters
Im not sure if normal is the word I'd use to describe them 💀😭
I made the mistake of drinking water right when grace went “FUCK THE US GOVERNMENT” and I’ll never recover that was too good
I CANT TAKE ANY OF THIS SERIOUSLY BECAUSE OF ANYTHING GRACE SAYS I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY HELPPPPP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wow. I didn’t expect the shorts skills to translate so easily into podcast skills. But it was so natural. :)
I was scrolling through RUclips shorts and then I remembered seeing the trailer yesterday and immediately go to your channel to watch this, I went outside and sat in a chair listening to this wreck of a video but man this video was amazing.
Congrats on your first podcast episode!! Can't wait to see future ones ❤your guys' content is always so imaginative and funny. By far one of the most entertaining channels on yt currently
Obsessed with grace gliding between angry kiwi and little Victorian boy for the first 5 minutes
This is all improv? You guys are amazing 😂
This was a great mix of genuine humour, impressive improv, and turned unexpectedly insightful at the end. So excited for more episodes 🥳
ryan dying quietly of laughter in the background is so cute ♡∇♡
THE TWIN PART🤣🤣🤣🤣
The only podcast I’ll ever watch/listen to consistently 😭😭❤️
Now this is epic
This was the funniest thing ever, please don’t stop 🙏. As someone who enjoyed the book, it was pretty amazing to see this cursed version
the most relatable part of this wonderous podcast: "gay coconut boy"
im genuinely so excited for more episodes on this series. this was so hilarious.
This is making me laugh out loud, please make one every day lol. Love you guys. PLEASE do The Picture of Dorian Gray
PERFECT TIMING I'm literally obsessed w this book rn
This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen on RUclips in years, can’t wait for more!!!
I love how the gimmick/rules from the book affect how the podcast runs. Everyone did such a good job👏☺️
bro this is actually so awesome lmfao. love you guys!
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVEEEEEEEEEE
Im honestly impressed that this is actually funny and entertaining. Most of the time when short form content creators try long form content it just doenst have the same feel
"hey dude... lets get off this island, its on fiiireeee!" favorite quote from this ep i think
20:02 everyone trying to hold in their laugh😭😭
"I'm a forward"
"No, you're not"
Already funny as sh*t
Congrats on your first episode ❤.
OMG! I am reading the Lord of the Flies right now in high school! 😂
Same but I'm in 8th
So excited for this podcast! Everyone is so chaotic good together
Why does this feel like a fever dream?🫢
I did a sick final project on this book sophomore year of hs lmaooo. I painted the different forms the "beast" takes throughout the book on a bunch of nesting dolls ending w the kids themselves (I think, cant really remember what I even wrote lmao). Teacher never gave it back to me 💀
You are gonna be the example project for the rest of her teaching career
"And I'm not gay" "well, we don't know that yet, we'll see"
The "Survivor" reference is amazing. As a "Survivor" superfan, some little-known-trivia is that "Survivor" was inspired by the Swedish show "Expedition Robinson" which itself was inspired by...LORD OF THE FLIES!
There's even a direct reference to this connection in Season 8 (Survivor: All-Stars) by the host, Jeff Probst.
as a British person, I can safely say grace is doing an Australian accent
I love how Heath is basically a diceless DM in this story.
I loved this, can’t wait for more!
This is the best thing to ever happen to podcasts. I would love for it to be on apple so I can download it ❤
this is the most unserious larp session ever and i love it
American High is pioneering the Ralph x Piggy ship and tbh I’m here for it. Gay rights.
Feels like DnD with a little bit of a book summary. Quirky I like it.
Yesss im so happy you guys are starting a podcast !!
This book traumatized me. I was in eighth grade and had no idea about the subtext, just the horrific death :((
Thanks for simultaneously reopening a childhood wound, and putting comedic Neosporin on it!
this was so funny 😭 can’t wait for the next episode
34:47 I’m going on a plane tomorrow…
So excited for this! Can’t wait to see more! 😁😁😁
Btw, what is that intro song called? Sounds good!
bro i need to know
This is such a great idea for a podcast and you're all so talented. Cannot wait to see where this goes.
i need ryan so badddd 😔😔😔
RAHHHHH LOTF IS MY SPECIAL INTREST IM SO HAPPY THIS VIDEO EXISTS
YEAAAAHH
This feels like a D&D campaign with all the roleplaying and no combat. And I am all for it.
Julia is always going to class
the way that i haven’t read this either (ever actually) makes it so much better 😭
Why is this so funny, I’m laughing harder than any professional comedian could ever make me.
Holy shit I did not expect Grace to meow, that shit had me dead
came for grace, stayed for the jokes
Haven’t laughed this hard in a while thank you 😂
I need to see them play dnd
I applaud Hyde for the saints shirt
I love Lord Of The Flies and American High so muchhh!!!!
This was a rly entertaining and fun watch! Can’t wait to see more 😍
You guys should totally start putting your podcast episodes on Spotify
You guys should do percy jackson next!
hell yes let’s go pjo fans ‼️‼️‼️
If I had a nickel for every improv sketch comedy group with a podcast that releases on Thursdays in which they play characters proposed by each other, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but its weird that there's two. (Almost Friday Pod with Will Angus and Liam Cullaugh)
I would love to see a DnD campaign from this channel 😂😂
julia’s “coolcoolcoolcoolcool” got me. B99 fan?
i didn’t think id laugh this much watching this holy crap 😭 ❤
grace's "american accent" (and snorting and meowing) is on point! fahrenheit 451 next
