Dennis had sleep paralysis. I've only had it twice in my life and he's right it is the most terrifying experience and I experienced almost exactly the same apart from the noise. It usually happens when you're sleep deprived as I understand and your mind wakes up before your body.
Ha exactly! I came here to say exactly this! I had my first experience 2 years ago and it was terrifying. Never happened prior, then it started happening again about 6 months ago and its getting more frequent. Its very hard to describe and ive had a few different experiences but i always try to scream but can only mumble and lightly moan for lack of a better word. Crazy stuff.
I have it all the time and it’s kinda fun- like watching a horror movie and knowing it’s not real. It feels a bit like Inception- a dream within a dream and knowing you just need to open your eyes but you just can’t make it happen. Interesting stuff.
I've never had sleep paralysis. Only ever one time, I think, maybe more when I was younger that I don't remember, did I have a false awakening, though. Where you're not awake, but your brain is filling in a fairly accurate (but not necessarily *fully* accurate, as in my case) version of the room where you're sleeping. Your eyes are asleep, you're dreaming, but you *think* you're awake and paralyzed and can't move or act with this presence somewhere just waiting to get you. In my case it was under my bed or at the edge of it or something. The only reason I know it wasn't sleep paralysis for sure was because my bed was actually in the corner of the room where it didn't belong. I had my computer desk over there pretty much from the beginning of moving into that house with my bed in the center (because the house was a shit-hole and I didn't want to sleep next to the likely spider-infested walls).
My mom is Irish and Italian, and my dad is his Hispanic so I really had no choice but to be hardcore catholic. There’s a Guadalupe/Mary statue in every room of our house. I went to catholic school and I was an altar girl at mass every sunday, and catholicism is still a major part of my identity, but this year I joined a protestant/non-denominational group at my college (irish mom was not thrilled btw) and I can completely confirm what Rob is saying through my experience. Joining the group made me feel like mac on the cruise ship with the christian gays, I was so confused why my protestant group was having so much fun and I'm thinking WHERES THE FEAR OF GOD?? WHEN ARE WE REPENTING OUR SINS THROUGH PENANCE? Where’s the sadness and guilt and why are all your prayers different and nice? They usually say a very personalized prayer before every meal, just explaining to God why they are so grateful to be together, eating delicious food on a lovely day, wishing us luck on our finals, etc. you know, just very genuine. And when it was my turn to say grace it was just “blessusohlordandthesethygiftswhichweareabouttorecievefromthybountythroughchristourlordamen”*sign of the cross* Like a robot and you could just tell it was something I felt like I HAD to do. They were so confused why church felt like a chore to me, and it’s BECAUSE of how catholic mass is structured. Besides the boring homily, you hear and do the same thing once a week for your entire life. Sit, stand, sit, stand, kneel, bow, stand, kneel, hear a bunch of words you don’t understand, get the cracker and gtf out. I also credit catholicism to my low self-esteem not gonna lie. A huge part of catholic culture is humility to the point you can only assume you’re worthless. It’s all about belittling yourself and feeling like a burden to God. During mass you repeat the phrase “lord I am not worthy” so many times. The church makes me feel like I’m just a walking sin who needs to do a better job at being a servant to God. Even the pope tells us that we are not to ever feel proud. As a catholic you just feel guilty all the time for existing. However, when I’m with my protestant group they’re always reminding me “you are a beautiful child of God, made in his image, he will present you with wonderful opportunities.” In other words, I feel like Protestants know God loves them, and catholics kinda just assume he hates us. Protestants just seem more devoted, they WANT to be at church to praise god, catholics feel like they HAVE to go to church so that they don’t go to hell.
"theres a game out there where people are teabagging eachother" Rob you're the creator of a show about a video game company and you don't realize that teabagging has been a part of every multiplayer game for the last 25 years?
I watch the entire show thrown into a Playlist on shuffle. It's the way the show was meant to be watched. One episode is this and Cricket is normal, next its the Thanksgiving episode and he's getting his face burnt up. One episode Mac is normal-ish and the next he's fat and then he's ripped and openly gay. It's a great way to watch the series.
I know the actors are not the characters but sometimes I have to remind myself. Cause Charlie Day asking any one if they have seen any Ghost is maybe the most "Charlie" thing to say lol
Guys the entire anti masturbation stance is a misinterpretation of a biblical story of Onan. The common interpretation is that his spilling of his seed on the ground was the sin but ACTUALLY the sin was that he was doing this rather than impregnating his dead brothers wife so that the child would inherit his brothers estate. He pulled out and spilled his seed (in defiance of Gods wish) because he wanted his brothers stuff. It wasn’t the act. It was the intent.
Like many comments, I too have had sleep paralysis - but it was a very different experience for me... While sleeping on the floor at a friends house I became convinced he was going to fart on me, but i literally couldn't move my body to prevent it, I felt wide awake but was totally powerless to stop him. Meanwhile, he was of course fast asleep and had no such desires to carry out the act... I still have no idea what this says about me or my trust in my friends.
Having a show or film where as you can just tell the crew had a good time filming is what I look for in my shows or films. And this is one of the best crews yet. Up their with Trey and Matt in my opinion
I will say that in Ireland there's more politics in the protestant and catholic faiths. The Monarch of England is the ruler of the Cristian faith, and so protestantism was forced on Ireland during Cromwell's reign, with catholic practices being banned on pain of death, people were tortured to forsake thier religion, and priests were hunted down. So people tend to cling to Catholicism as a matter of pride and rebellion, against England who still occupy part of the country, and vice versa.

I went to a Catholic school but I always called it Catholic in name alone because we actually had a year where we learned about other religions, we learned about Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. We didn’t learn about Judaism that year because the school kinda combined Christianity with Judaism.
this podvast is kinda mind blowing to me. Charlie speaking like a normal person and not a lunatic madman, Rob not being completely Vain like Mac and Glenn being exactly Dennis
I like how they argued about whether or not they told the Devito hospital story then when they determined they hadn't told it, they never actually finished telling it.
@@TylerBaraby More context, details. Understanding why the nurse wouldn’t know who he is. Maybe she’s a foreigner and hasn’t seen much American media. Maybe she’s American but has lived under a rock. Maybe she’s seen Danny Devito but didn’t recognize him by name. Why they were seeing a nurse in the first place. Maybe the interaction was painfully awkward and entertaining to listen to. Maybe that story would get the guys thinking about other awkward stories like that. Just a handful of things to understandably expect instead of the transition of “did you guys eat today?”
He was referring to not having chronic pain. "I have no chronic pain issues, I have good genetics, my Dad doesn't either (have any chronic pain issues)"
its funny but it's definitely possible. Your gene expression can vary wildly from your dad, even if you inherited half of your genes from him. Genetics are complicated as hell lol
@@Shaqiliciouss Yes, that's how genes work. But if you were going to attribute something to genetics, it would specifically be BECAUSE you have observed the same trait in your parents.
@@amityislandchum he was attributing something to his parents. His dad doesn't really have any issues with joints and pain, and neither does he, so he assumes genetics is a factor.
Glens experience at 20:00 is a pretty typical sleep paralysis episode. These are often thought to be abductions or visitations by a lot of people since it feels so real and vivid
I’m kinda surprised they didn’t deep dive that story more considering the tangents they go on. That’s a whole interesting conversation. Definitely sounds like text book sleep paralysis. I’ve experienced the auditory part he described, waking up and the world kinda gradually forms into existence.
I had a handful of sleep paralysis incidents in my life (haven't had for a while, thank God), but yeah. Someone who never had one just can't understand how real they feel. Because you are fully conscious. It's just unreal crap happening around you. The worst part is, when you realize you can't move. It was actually with the first time I had one, I didn't "dream" anything in that moment, but I literally thought I was either already dead or dying. Couldn't move a finger. I never was so terrified in my life. I truly believed in that moment, I was never going to move again, and just die in my bed. All the other ones were clear visions of people (or anything else more monstrous) in front of me, but nothing was as scary as that first time.
The part in Charlie's sermon where there's the long pause and he softly says "that's how God works" or whatever...that is SO spot on to how a pastor talks. That shit was improvised? Genius!
Can I say? As a UK fan.. Glenn coming from Alabama .. going to fkin ‘mega churches’ … and turning out only mostly sociopathic? Good for him . Really good for him man
I think it was an Ancestral memory the brain still holds from back when the animals that eventually evolved into human beings resembled moles in caves.
@@xFuzzyxPicklesx Yea, the way they casually spoke about sticking their dicks in peoples mouths or on their shoulders/chin/forehead is just bizarre because they don't even seem to be joking.
They're so chaotic it's hilarious. Also, Glenn, that was a "sleep paralysis demon". I've had one similar experience but I didn't see "it", I could just feel it on top of me and hear it while completely unable to move. It's horrifying.
Love the podcast glad the episodes are getting longer. I think they could easily do an hour and a half and keep it entertaining but theyre too rich for that. Also love how they dont push the usual podcast products, the day The Gang tries to sell me a casper mattress or blu chew Ill end it all.
I think at ~20:00 Glenn is describing sleep paralysis. You can have carry-over audio/visual hallucinations from the dmt and other dream chemicals in the brain while your consciousness is functionally awake, but your body is still locked in paralysis (that happens so that you don't act out your dreams). It usually occurs when your sleep patterns are way off, and the first time it happens, if you don't know what is happening, can be scary and you may even feel like you're being abducted or something. I've had it a few times, but once I knew what it was I'd just wait it out until my body unlocked. Then, I have even tried to make it a game to see how quickly I can break free from it.
Been waiting ages for the new season over here in the UK(Wales to be precise...near Wrexham...I have a kettle!) There is at least one Sunny quote in our household a day! Thankfully we aren't around small children much
Just want to give my vote to the gang using the podcast to talk about whatever. What I enjoy is how much the dynamic between them is like what we see on the show. Very, very different, but the chemistry and humor is the same. Don't need that hemmed in by a format.
Actually I'd heavily disagree. There are too many podcasts without a format out there, and I really like the insight into the episodes with occasional off-topic discussion
As someone who just left a cult like belief system, this episode was hilarious and extremely relevant. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that Glenn grew up Methodist, he totally gives off youth leader vibes.
Glenn - the night terror thing, I literally had the same thing happen at some point in my life. Typical night terror stuff when your brain gets mixed up so sometimes you keep dreaming with eyes open. Scary as hell even when you know exactly what's happening on a scientific/medical level.
Its sleep paralysis. Its very common to have hypnogogic hallucinations with sleep paralysis, usually seeing or sensing a figure in the room. Medieval paintings to current sleep research.... good ol sleep paralysis.
Yea that also sounds like sleep paralysis to me. As someone who used to have that alot and see things. Thought was night terrors at first but sleep paralysis is probably closer.
Yup, have similar things happen too. I'd be half asleep, trying to wake up after seeing something scary and I'd just start scream-moaning (wasn't awake enough to get a proper scream out) till my wife shook me awake. Some dreams were legit scary, others were so stupid. Eg I went into a hotel room and the staff said there were 6 pillows, but there turned out to be 7. My dreaming brain inferred the seventh pillow was a haunted ghost pillow and I started screaming, unable to move or wake up. Dreams are weird.
yeah i been having that a lot after my mom almost dying, finding her unresponsive and her being in a coma 5 days or 6, 19 days icu just last month day after her bday... couldnt sleep well for a month so it messed me up lol lack of sleep... ive gone like 10 yrs without dreaming, now i have em every night, very vivid and intense / real, sometimes continues after i wake up / i dont wake up when normally i would e.i one dream i fell from the sky being shot up and landed in the ocean ( i cant swim and hate water ) and i didnt wake up i just started swimming, dodged a while coming up for food then made it to a river and started swimming in it lol turned into a fun dream but was very odd how i dont wake up during scary moments and dreams can even start before i feel like im actually asleep in bed... my cat doesnt help sleep lol shes huge and like 4 ft long and she wakes me up constantly trying to cuddle in with me lol or walks across my body waking me up/preventing me from falling asleep.. also shoving her head in my face to feel my breath and her hair tickles my nose hair/pushes my facial hair into my nose lol but like my mom, it was low sodium for her and since i cook for us often from scratch and we eat the same, low sodium and lot of water and we both had low sodium symptoms but her being 55 made hers get deadly, we also didnt eat much or often so ya... after adding more salts to my diet ive felt a lot better, slowly but surely back to normal lol
I'm glad it's a video podcast now because I can only concentrate on trying to see the moment all these lines and circles in the animation perfectly line up.
Glenn definitely had a bout of sleep paralysis and that shit is no joke. I have one to two episodes of it every six months or so. The craziest shit you can think of happens in these episodes, and the worst part is that you definitely feel awake for all of it. You know how sometimes you can kinda tell you're in a dream, and you wake up and was like "yeah that was a dream, some of it felt real but 60% of it was bullshit"? Sleep paralysis keeps you awake but unable to move most anything but your eyes. It always feels like I'm trying to burst through my own skin to escape the "grasp." It happens because your body releases chemicals while you sleep so you aren't as likely to accidentally hit or kick something while you dream (it's like when you watch dogs dream, they kick a little and woof a little but not nearly as much as they are in the dream.) When you get hit with sleep paralysis, the chemicals stay kicked in but your brain (and sometimes eyes) is running into overdrive, causing you to mix reality with a dream or nightmare. And yes, the "demon sitting on your chest" that most people see is so common that it's almost a "we live in a simulation" level of conspiracy (but honestly, it's probably coincidence.) If this shit happens to you more than a few times in a year, talk to a doctor. It's some spooky stuff, and unlike most dreams you will vividly remember every episode for probably a few years if not a lifetime.
I used to have those so know the exact feeling. Every time there would be someone who broke into my apartment, and I was desperately trying to get up to fight him. unfortunately, I don't believe in aliens or the supernatural, so I never got to have one of those cool abduction experiences or visited by a demon.
I don't think a majority of people see tea-bagging as a sexual term anymore, especially since it's been a term in gaming for absolute ages; instead of your mind instantly going to the sexual definition, a better explanation could just be calling it a humiliation/taunt done by players when they kill other players, etc.
Just barging in as an atheist to point out that Eastern Orthodox church is obviously the coolest and probably the closest to the early Church out of all the denominations.
I don't listen to podcasts like this, or in general, but I'm working my way up through every episode. Combining learning behind-the-scenes stuff about the show, with the interesting/funny conversation that naturally occurs between friends who are all comedians...it's a really good formula.
I hate podcasts. I don't listen to any. But I found out about this, and I've been playing all the podcasts one after another all day at work. These guys are just super fun to listen to, I love learning shit, but as you said, they are funny too.
I think in gaming it really started with Halo online back in the day and you'd always have to teabag a player as they can see their body for a couple seconds and it really compounds the humiliation 🤣
This episode kind of really brings up a lot of reasons for them to watch Monty Python. Protestants vs Catholics: Every Sperm is Sacred. Then also sowing full frontal nudity of both male and female in Life of Brian.
Charlie's right. Watching the Gang doing their thing I notice the actors are really enjoying the scene, but have to hold back the laughter. That's what make the bloopers so funny, seeing what they're trying to hold back.
I had a similar thing happen that Glenn did. Found out in college in a psychology class that sleep paralysis can cause visual and auditory hallucinations.
It just occured to me I kindof assume everyone is agnostic or atheist these days. Religion has really taken a backseat in America. People think the new atheist movement died, I reckon it actually sortof succeeded and went back to bed.
When Charlie asks about visions and says "ghosts" all I wanted was for him to pause and follow it up with "ghouls"
I love how Glenn was actually visited by The Nightman 🤣
Wonder if he plumbed him. For comedy.

As Frank says, "The catholics really fucked you up"
Protestant religion (know at the time as Church of Enland) was made by Henry the XIII so he could screw over monks just to fight France.
This is a fascinating insight, I hope you continue to find joy out of religion instead of fear, and know that you deserve good things.

It was actually with the first time I had one, I didn't "dream" anything in that moment, but I literally thought I was either already dead or dying. Couldn't move a finger. I never was so terrified in my life. I truly believed in that moment, I was never going to move again, and just die in my bed. All the other ones were clear visions of people (or anything else more monstrous) in front of me, but nothing was as scary as that first time.
Had pretty much the same dream a few years ago
I had that exact experience many times, the buzzing sound is so on point.
Glenn's sleep paralysis demon hallucination was only trying to teabag him bro!
24:00 This feels like something straight out of a Monty Python bit, Charlie is too good lmao
The part in Charlie's sermon where there's the long pause and he softly says "that's how God works" or whatever...that is SO spot on to how a pastor talks. That shit was improvised? Genius!
Can I say? As a UK fan.. Glenn coming from Alabama .. going to fkin ‘mega churches’ … and turning out only mostly sociopathic? Good for him . Really good for him man
🤣 Haha, right?
The dark shadow is actually really common with sleep paralysis. I've experienced it as well. It's your brain trying to explain why you can't move.
That’s so fucked up, why does our brains think a shadow must be in the room to keep us from moving instead of just someone holding your arms down 😂😂😂
@@bendover9813 cause it nefariousness
I think it was an Ancestral memory the brain still holds from back when the animals that eventually evolved into human beings resembled moles in caves.
Today I learned not one of these men have been teabagged in a single halo match going back to 2001. Not too surprised but I did admittedly assume such
i didnt know anyone did that IRL thats insane lol
@@xFuzzyxPicklesx Yea, the way they casually spoke about sticking their dicks in peoples mouths or on their shoulders/chin/forehead is just bizarre because they don't even seem to be joking.
What’s kinda odd about Cricket is that he kinda gains a confidence as the series goes on.
kinda
They're so chaotic it's hilarious. Also, Glenn, that was a "sleep paralysis demon". I've had one similar experience but I didn't see "it", I could just feel it on top of me and hear it while completely unable to move. It's horrifying.
Truly horrifying
It's pretty crazy.
except its not a demon but yeah
@@j-bob_oreoHence the quotes, redundant.
When it was on top of you, did you ask why it had a boner?
Love the podcast glad the episodes are getting longer. I think they could easily do an hour and a half and keep it entertaining but theyre too rich for that. Also love how they dont push the usual podcast products, the day The Gang tries to sell me a casper mattress or blu chew Ill end it all.
😂😂
That's the great thing about this podcast, I can't imagine them ever needing the sponsorship money with how well they're doing
I’m jus a regula GHuy buy Sum Blu Chuew
So tell me, didja hafta audition in frunna David?
@@darren806 Thyey won't deny sponsorships, just look at those Smartless guys who are actually big stars
Fun podcast. I'm appalled you talked about the actual episode though.
I think at ~20:00 Glenn is describing sleep paralysis. You can have carry-over audio/visual hallucinations from the dmt and other dream chemicals in the brain while your consciousness is functionally awake, but your body is still locked in paralysis (that happens so that you don't act out your dreams).
It usually occurs when your sleep patterns are way off, and the first time it happens, if you don't know what is happening, can be scary and you may even feel like you're being abducted or something.
I've had it a few times, but once I knew what it was I'd just wait it out until my body unlocked. Then, I have even tried to make it a game to see how quickly I can break free from it.
better than those saying its a demon
Been waiting ages for the new season over here in the UK(Wales to be precise...near Wrexham...I have a kettle!) There is at least one Sunny quote in our household a day! Thankfully we aren't around small children much
I also have a kettle, and live down the road from you in Ruthin. Hey!
Also dying to see the new series, I don't like to pirate shows I really want to continue
@@goob872 1st Feb on Netflix, cannot wait 🥰
We need you guys to bring a guest on the podcast like Cricket or Ben the soldier or even the kid from Charlie wants an abortion
exactly. wheres dee and frank??
The thing Glenn experienced is almost definitely sleep paralysis. I’ve gotten that exact experience many times in my life.
Same, its actually kinda fun once you realize that you're not in any danger
@@iampiff2 it's never fun lol not imo anyway
@@iampiff2 well you're certainly not in any danger.
@@shauncarr1785 hahaha bravo perfect response
Could have been a demon.
Just want to give my vote to the gang using the podcast to talk about whatever. What I enjoy is how much the dynamic between them is like what we see on the show. Very, very different, but the chemistry and humor is the same. Don't need that hemmed in by a format.
Actually I'd heavily disagree. There are too many podcasts without a format out there, and I really like the insight into the episodes with occasional off-topic discussion
19:20
That's gotta be the funniest, most terrifying sleep paralysis experience I've ever heard!!
It's called sleep paralysis Glenn
Yeah I was thinking "if you talked to enough people you'd know it's not too uncommon LMFAO 😆😑
As someone who just left a cult like belief system, this episode was hilarious and extremely relevant.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that Glenn grew up Methodist, he totally gives off youth leader vibes.
Glenn - the night terror thing, I literally had the same thing happen at some point in my life. Typical night terror stuff when your brain gets mixed up so sometimes you keep dreaming with eyes open. Scary as hell even when you know exactly what's happening on a scientific/medical level.
Its sleep paralysis. Its very common to have hypnogogic hallucinations with sleep paralysis, usually seeing or sensing a figure in the room. Medieval paintings to current sleep research.... good ol sleep paralysis.
Yea that also sounds like sleep paralysis to me. As someone who used to have that alot and see things. Thought was night terrors at first but sleep paralysis is probably closer.
Sleep paralysis
Yup, have similar things happen too. I'd be half asleep, trying to wake up after seeing something scary and I'd just start scream-moaning (wasn't awake enough to get a proper scream out) till my wife shook me awake. Some dreams were legit scary, others were so stupid. Eg I went into a hotel room and the staff said there were 6 pillows, but there turned out to be 7. My dreaming brain inferred the seventh pillow was a haunted ghost pillow and I started screaming, unable to move or wake up. Dreams are weird.
yeah i been having that a lot after my mom almost dying, finding her unresponsive and her being in a coma 5 days or 6, 19 days icu just last month day after her bday... couldnt sleep well for a month so it messed me up lol lack of sleep... ive gone like 10 yrs without dreaming, now i have em every night, very vivid and intense / real, sometimes continues after i wake up / i dont wake up when normally i would e.i one dream i fell from the sky being shot up and landed in the ocean ( i cant swim and hate water ) and i didnt wake up i just started swimming, dodged a while coming up for food then made it to a river and started swimming in it lol turned into a fun dream but was very odd how i dont wake up during scary moments and dreams can even start before i feel like im actually asleep in bed... my cat doesnt help sleep lol shes huge and like 4 ft long and she wakes me up constantly trying to cuddle in with me lol or walks across my body waking me up/preventing me from falling asleep.. also shoving her head in my face to feel my breath and her hair tickles my nose hair/pushes my facial hair into my nose lol but like my mom, it was low sodium for her and since i cook for us often from scratch and we eat the same, low sodium and lot of water and we both had low sodium symptoms but her being 55 made hers get deadly, we also didnt eat much or often so ya... after adding more salts to my diet ive felt a lot better, slowly but surely back to normal lol
I love that they're doing this. Makes my life happier.
That Ghostbusters story from Charlie was comedy gold!
I'm glad it's a video podcast now because I can only concentrate on trying to see the moment all these lines and circles in the animation perfectly line up.
Dude I was doing the same thing! I actually had to scroll down so I could focus.
the protestant vs catholic thing in ireland isnt about a dogmatic dispute, its a political and cultural one.
Glenn definitely had a bout of sleep paralysis and that shit is no joke. I have one to two episodes of it every six months or so. The craziest shit you can think of happens in these episodes, and the worst part is that you definitely feel awake for all of it. You know how sometimes you can kinda tell you're in a dream, and you wake up and was like "yeah that was a dream, some of it felt real but 60% of it was bullshit"? Sleep paralysis keeps you awake but unable to move most anything but your eyes.
It always feels like I'm trying to burst through my own skin to escape the "grasp." It happens because your body releases chemicals while you sleep so you aren't as likely to accidentally hit or kick something while you dream (it's like when you watch dogs dream, they kick a little and woof a little but not nearly as much as they are in the dream.) When you get hit with sleep paralysis, the chemicals stay kicked in but your brain (and sometimes eyes) is running into overdrive, causing you to mix reality with a dream or nightmare. And yes, the "demon sitting on your chest" that most people see is so common that it's almost a "we live in a simulation" level of conspiracy (but honestly, it's probably coincidence.)
If this shit happens to you more than a few times in a year, talk to a doctor. It's some spooky stuff, and unlike most dreams you will vividly remember every episode for probably a few years if not a lifetime.
I used to have those so know the exact feeling. Every time there would be someone who broke into my apartment, and I was desperately trying to get up to fight him. unfortunately, I don't believe in aliens or the supernatural, so I never got to have one of those cool abduction experiences or visited by a demon.
My cat of 14.5 years died on Chirstmas Eve. He was the best cat ever and exactly what I wanted in a cat and more. Exactly. And so smart. RIP Odin.
Sorry for your loss. I have 3 and I dread losing them. ❤️
Whats a cat?
@@smithsmith422 its a kind of plant that grows in south america i think its an invasive species here
Damn Odins an awesome name for a cat.
@@captainbro9998 Yea man. He owned it too. Long haired grey with the white chin n belly. He would actually come when I called him too.
"You've been plumbed." 😂 ...God, I love them.
I don't think a majority of people see tea-bagging as a sexual term anymore, especially since it's been a term in gaming for absolute ages; instead of your mind instantly going to the sexual definition, a better explanation could just be calling it a humiliation/taunt done by players when they kill other players, etc.
It's inherently sexual but our brains don't even make a sexual connection with those two things anymore. Ik I normally don't anymore at least
Just barging in as an atheist to point out that Eastern Orthodox church is obviously the coolest and probably the closest to the early Church out of all the denominations.
When that priest spits in macs face is one of my favorite lines…”WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU OLD MAN !?”
I don't listen to podcasts like this, or in general, but I'm working my way up through every episode.
Combining learning behind-the-scenes stuff about the show, with the interesting/funny conversation that naturally occurs between friends who are all comedians...it's a really good formula.
I hate podcasts. I don't listen to any. But I found out about this, and I've been playing all the podcasts one after another all day at work. These guys are just super fun to listen to, I love learning shit, but as you said, they are funny too.
@@thejadedmayan almost the same for me, they are way too funny
Sleep paralysis is what he described
Happens to me all the time
Shits def weird
Same dude. Crazy, terrifying stuff.
@@andrewhunter9119 really is bro
charlie is fucking hilarious in this episode
I thought teabagging was rubbing balls on someone’s head, not their mouth. These guys generation was harder than mine lol.
It started as dipping your balls in someones mouth, like a tea bag into a cup. It has morphed into a much simpler maneuver. 🤣
I think in gaming it really started with Halo online back in the day and you'd always have to teabag a player as they can see their body for a couple seconds and it really compounds the humiliation 🤣
Noob
This episode kind of really brings up a lot of reasons for them to watch Monty Python. Protestants vs Catholics: Every Sperm is Sacred. Then also sowing full frontal nudity of both male and female in Life of Brian.
Agree on first thing confused on second. Also the idea that these guys haven't seen python....c'mon they have right I mean
Stumbling upon this episode on tv is what made me a fan so it holds a very special place in my blackened heart
I look forward to this pod every week. Truly the only good thing about Mondays.
I look forward to it too!!
Along with Kill Tony and The Tim Dillon Show
@@JacksVideoEmporium nah
@@BustingpherJones yea
Be quiet please
Charlie's right. Watching the Gang doing their thing I notice the actors are really enjoying the scene, but have to hold back the laughter. That's what make the bloopers so funny, seeing what they're trying to hold back.
I had a similar thing happen that Glenn did. Found out in college in a psychology class that sleep paralysis can cause visual and auditory hallucinations.
You know the shaving cream in the hand while the person is asleep gag?
My friends used hot sauce.
At leadt it weren't super glue.
could be worse, could be a rag soaked with urine. be thankful no one will ever do that to another human being.
Tell Glenn the scary sleep thing is a common sleep paralysis event and if he looks it up js very common
He literally mentioned that phenomenon while telling the story but like ok pal I'll tell em.
Jk not a douche hi btw
"F*** these people!! I don't get my Jesus cracker!!!?" 🤣😂 I'm sure that line was pulled directly from the King James version of the bible!
I got the good lord going down on me
Lets see this badass, Regal giant cat!
They have NEVER talked about Danny and the hospital on the podcast
This has been my favourite yet. 1 big issue I have... They're not 2 hours long. 😂
"I don't know what the *fuck* you're talking about"
Me and my friends used to actually teabag people. Overwhelmingly males, but shit happened.
Overwhelmingly males, but rarely some women?
It just occured to me I kindof assume everyone is agnostic or atheist these days. Religion has really taken a backseat in America. People think the new atheist movement died, I reckon it actually sortof succeeded and went back to bed.
love the catholic/protestant dynamic in this one, it's awesome
