031: Shane's Date Night Blunder, Steven's Reality Show Past, and Ryan Favorite Way To Relax

[@EricisBenjammin]

Can we please have a Matt Cam? A little square picture next to yalls head of Matt whenever he chimes in! The people want to see Matt!

[@insommniak]

Seconding this!

[@Introverted_Rn]

nty. the 3 guys are enough

[@isha4591]

im imaging a live matt reaction square a la star wars meme

[@Carrie25]

Yes, please don’t deprive us of Matt

[@mialikeseverything]

@@isha4591 yes i was just thinking about that meme!!! a little matt cam would be so good

[@partlyironic]

GOD I LOVE STEVEN LIM SO MUCH. The fact that has always just gone for what he wanted and now look at him, 11 years down the line. So fond of him. ❤

[@knorman717]

I really appreciate Steven’s vulnerability in sharing that video with us. I could hear him mention in it that he dealt with bullying as a child for being one of the only Asians in a white neighborhood. I have a dear family member who has experienced the same thing, and I imagine it’s helpful for others to know they’re not alone in that. Thank you for shining a light on that topic!

[@Thebogeybro]

White people don't make fun of Asians... it's not a thing dude

[@gr33ngirlsea]

That's wild how Steven submitted that video and they encouraged him and now he is a professional video creator that has inspired people!

[@Tessa_Wick]

Ryan Higa really saw Steven and thought "let him cook"

[@ES.Evergreen]

Given all the flack Steven received following the Watcher TV announcement, from myself included, I appreciate him sharing that story and clip 👍

[@partlyironic]

I appreciate you giving him his flowers now but why were you giving him flack at all...

[@LordOfJonix]

Ryan looks good this ep! The stache, the long hair, the fit? He's giving a very laid back LA summer vibe

[@mialikeseverything]

everyone's right, ryan looks good w the moustache, it really suits him! also mad respect to steven, i could never advocate for myself like that in the face of rejection. that's tenacity honestly

[@rhiannoona]

Hey that was my question! 😊 I asked that ages ago, i almost did a double take when i heard my name 🤣 thanks for the interesting answers!

[@stewboyq5216]

I love the mailbag concept! One of my favorite things about unsolved was the post mortems with the boys just riffing on random stuff people sent in

[@mcwine18]

Man that mustache on Ryan is both weird and wonderful..

[@jaimiehex9420]

with the hair he looks like straight out of the 80s

[@melbapeach162]

He really suits it imo

[@jrosaia3685]

Listening to this makes me chuckle as to how different the topics between three men would be so different just fifty years ago. 😲

[@kaydavis2155]

I love that y’all post on Mondays, you make my 9-5 a little better lol

[@jujulachlan11]

exactly!

[@ImKDofficial]

I am so so proud of you Steven look how far you have come. You were hungry for that opportunity you paved your own way to it. I'm so inspired rn

[@isha4591]

16:20 i laughed so hard at Shane's "so that's a no from all three of you?" callback and then "someone get him a beef jerky and get him out of the room." Shane's so quick with these things it's always a good laugh. On this similar topic I do agree with Ryan that Steven's previous ability to stand-up for himself in the moment is admirable, but also I totally agree that when you're younger and first starting out with a skill you're so proud of whatever little you've done because you don't have the wisdom you do when you're older of "oh I can do better" because you just haven't seen that from yourself yet. It also comes to bite you in the butt later though, because as you get older you're less likely to celebrate your accomplishments. So maybe we should all learn from young Steven, and advocate for ourselves too!

[@JessicaGuzman-u1d]

The voicemail 😂😭

[@sweetshayyshayy]

Honestly to see how far you all have came from where you started its so inspiring to me. Im 24 and left college but yall make me want to actually do what i want in life. proud of you steven and this is actually acceptance of a traumatic event and you have healed from it, isn't that beautiful?

[@insommniak]

That voicemail at the end made my day lmao

[@eleanorwilson7044]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to season 1, episode 4 of my weekly apartment cleaning. This week's special edition will be stress cleaning because of a big meeting with my bosses afterwards Update: my apartment is clean and the meeting went really well, I got some very positive feedback, thanks boys

[@MattyIsTalking]

let's gooooo!

[@MattyIsTalking]

good luck!

[@stefaniebm2266]

I've been looking forward to your weekly apartment cleaning for the past couple of weeks now! You got this!!

[@jessw391]

Have you finished?

[@SourGir1986]

Good luck!

[@courtney104]

it will be DIFFICULT to follow up that voicemail 😆

[@mygirl737g2]

so fun and interesting learning about Steven's path

[@clariceopenshaw718]

You know Ryan if you love lazy rivers so much you should do the salt River in phoenix az. You can rent a floaty for about 15 and they have cases to put your phone in. You gotta do the five and half hour route, pack some beers and sunscreen and you're in for a time. So much fun.

[@BaronVonFiend]

First thing I noticed, Ryan's stache, ready for Weird Wonderful World :D

[@sakura-chan8102]

Mail time song sounds like something from Bee and Puppycat

[@twentyonethirteen]

The Atlantis lazy river is so good! My friend and I went like 3 times the one day we were there and the guys running it were like "Are you okay?" 😂

[@biabiabruh]

matt being like "oh wow that tracks" in regards to the obama impersonator leaving the voicemail KILLED MEEEEE

[@michelledulin7214]

Ryan or anyone planning a Midwest Six Flags trip: You gotta come to Cedar Point before September. The water rides all close in the Fall. The only perk in September is that it's less busy if you're just into riding nonstop coasters.

[@jenniferreynolds2832]

My friends and I have been saying for ages that we wanted to use lazy rivers as transport because it’s so hot in CA!

[@DarbX1605]

Ryan's stache and hair are a straight up vibe.

[@ImekaSF]

Oh man, I am SO excited for Weird/Wonderful! (I like the 'stache, Ryan!)

[@cubbybunny23]

I got sent back to first grade. Because I couldn't do math and to this day I still can't do math 😂

[@carolynthomas7693]

Awww Steven that video was so sweet🫶🏻 you are the best

[@amandazuniga1298]

Making Mondays Magical here at the pod!

[@shytatham891]

they have a bunch of spooky kayak rides all around florida! it gets booked really fast so i havent been but it seems super fun

[@kisshigo]

That voicemail was so cute, what a fun segment idea!

[@stephanieberndtdtdtdtdt4974]

Ryan needs to go to Cedar Point. Last time was when Steel Vengeance was brand new. It's intense. Maverick, Dragster and Gatekeeper are my favorites.

[@xnorcrossx]

Hearing Ryan talk about Super Mario 64 transported me back. My favorite game is Zelda and it literally taught me how to read as a child so I can’t delete that 😂

[@laurencegabriella3626]

Steven's video made me cry in a good way. Thank goodness he persisted.

[@teef8334]

I think the voice message segment is really cute and fun 😭

[@elladansky607]

Ryan, in Bend Oregon, there are a lot of rivers and I grew up floating the river. It’s like the same thing as a lazy river obviously but hours long, quiet and lots of nature to experience. If you can do that in your travels, I think you’d love it!

[@alan.2cold]

Ryan if you love lazy rivers you have to visit Xel-Ha in Mexico. It’s a water park with a freshwater lazy river that has a bunch of detours like cliff jumping and zip lines.

[@Sarah-hm2pe]

Always the best content. Love you guys, love Watcher 💛 Thanks to the whole team for all of your amazing work behind the scenes 🙏🩷

[@amandazuniga1298]

I need the full story of Ryan's kinder/1st Grade schooling

[@SavanahRose65]

An often overlooked park/roller coaster is the Kentucky Rumbler at Beech Bend Park and Splash Lagoon/lazy river in Bowling Green Ky

[@Trailmix305]

I would like to call my fellow lazy river enjoyers to be “River Logs”. Love me a good lazy river. 😊 Wouldn’t mind a whole podcast of just ranking them.

[@thegraveyardcommunitychann4512]

I gotta question for Steven, because you are the instrument DUDE of the group. Did you ever learn an instrument by ear better than by notes? When I was younger my grandma put me into piano classes, and on my first day the lady asked me: "Do you know how to read notes?" I responded with yes, to which she tossed the text book that was labeled, "Month 1: Learning Notes" and my stomach dropped into my feet. So of course being stubborn I went with it and did piano for almost a year learning by ear.

[@hmcraig86]

When are we getting the schedule for the Ghost Files tour? Thank you!

[@brianramirez2855]

Just to be clear…. Big fan of

[@Superdreamer21]

may or may not have been waiting for this to drop this morning

[@sarahcolley1683]

I grew up 6 miles from Cedar Point. My first job was working in their wardrobe department.

[@jonbovi8040]

So so proud of Steven❤️‍🔥

[@gp5675]

Listening to you guys always make my day better.

[@T.Florenz]

Loving Ryan's 70s vibe ✌️🧡

[@alaenamarie8702]

Ryan, you should go to Pennsylvania and visit Knoebel’s!!! It’s a huge part of my childhood and a really fun amusement park. Also, the best part: it’s FREE admission. 😊

[@isha4591]

33:33 DFW AIRPORT LOVE LETS GOOOO also i did NOT know there was a giant lazy river so near me omg maybe I'll check it out!!! always love a Dallas mention

[@bakescakes]

Shane going in on Annie Dillard lately is everything

[@Travel_with_Gigi]

I love the disembodied voice of Matt in the podcast lol

[@HyperspaceCafe]

Let me be clear. Big fan.

[@emilee823]

Omg PLEASE do a cedar point trip and meet up 😭😭😭

The inevitable lazy river ep!!!

Wasn’t expecting my college lazy river to be reviewed this morning but here we are

I remember I always wanted to go to Atlantis but my family just took us to a random beach at Nassau near the slums

[@heathervanpelt7981]

There is a haunted river float in Missouri. It's awesome

[@michaelsmcneill]

Im pretty sure there are five roller coasters at Sea World San Diego.

[@elizabethgraceb]

holiday world has some great water rides and as a kid i loved their lazy river, but i will say it’s probably pretty boring overall. but you should go see the rest!! midwest theme parks ftw!! i know you guys have talked about it before but the santa claus themed town is so funny

[@JGrza]

“Great suck Matt” 😂😂😂

[@viradechtis]

"Great suck, Matt. Great suck."

Not Obama leaving a voicemail

Here for the lazy river talk! I fucking love lazy rivers!

Steven how do I deal with the horror of getting Newarked by Osu as a central ohio kid, and coming to terms with having to go to OU

[@kounterkitty]

hey just wanted to let you guys know that the link in the description that goes to hello fresh has no space between it and the continued sentence so rn it goes to a 404 !

[@tinaprentice2136]

Does anyone know if they’re going to still show Ghost Files on Watchers? I know they said before it will be on the paid one, but didn’t they say they would do it once a month after it was shown on the paid site?

[@T.Florenz]

Yeah, it'll come to KZbin a month after it releases on their site/app 🧡

@@T.Florenz oh you have to download their site app?

Respectfully, mustaches on both Shane and Ryan look great and purposeful. You should keep them

Mustache Ryan looks great

[@jasloza]

Messy and clumsy are totally different.

Did the caller call "Ryan" called say "Brian"

my mom actually hit her head and lost me as a child on the wall in the Atlantis lazy river, we were reunited afterwards LOL

Baby Lim was a fun little treat to see 🥹 also the stach is looking great Ryan, love the long hair with it. Shane is cool 😎

I don't care for the mustache lol. I think Ryan looks great with the more medium hair length but don't like the stache.

[@Amy-Adventures.]

I love this pod and not to be negative but there are a lot of commercials

[@rhiannoona]

That's the tricky thing tho, is when they made the move to cut out the need for sponsors and move to their own paid streamer to be able to afford it without ads they got a witch hunt after them for it. If they did the same with the pod, there would be bedlum all over again.

[@Amy-Adventures.]

@@rhiannoona I agree

[@Weedchat]

Ryan dam joke was great.....
