Welcome to the LEAKTRIX! | Brain Leak Ep. 50

"Three tickets for Kung-Fu Panda please..."

[@Lazy.-.]

Ethan looks like wesker from resident evil 😂

[@SupernovaOrange]

Exactly lmao

[@Benjamin.J.Holliday]

OMFGD 🤣

[@tibb75]

Teenage Wesker

[@tinyplxnet]

Exactly what I was thinking hahaa

[@Madmatilda42]

I always see the guy from Grandma's boy. Lol. What if the silverback gorilla knows karate? 😅

[@DoeiDenise]

The hair in this episode is next level

[@Tovilian]

thinks Sean should embrace the grey? i do

[@SnugglySepticEye]

From both yes yes.

[@daeundances]

​@SnugglySepticEye your pfp tripped me out for a sec lol

[@SnugglySepticEye]

@daeundances Lol. Love our boy. 🤎

[@tryingnot2bdumb]

Seriously!!!!

[@inversedeggyolk5073]

Evelien's strengths according to Sean: 1) Planning 2) Commitment 3) S W E E T A S S

[@kyrathomas285]

"You want a lot but don't think you deserve a lot." That hit home for me. I really like how you phrased that, Sean.

[@SepticBadger]

Happy 50 Episodes Leakers!

[@sarahseabiscuit8187]

It's already been 50 episodes! 🤯

[@SepticBadger]

@@sarahseabiscuit8187 time flies when you're leaking

[@miaholmes4970]

Real

[@liberpolo5540]

Already?!

[@CaptainSarahSparrow]

I'm amazed by how drastically Ethan's entire vibe changes with an outfit.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

1:05:58 It was me! Xanthum yellow (sometimes called xanthic yellow) is a shade of yellow so highly saturated it can catch and appear to absorb light from other objects, creating an effect where people view xanthic colored things as green-yellow, green, or yellow depending on what's around it. It's also one of the colors colorblind people struggle with the most, as colorblind people have a noted difficulty with super-saturated colors. It's why the "are tennis balls yellow?" conversation from one of the other episodes got so confusing for people. Not only is it picking up light from the grass around it, tinting it green to your eyes, it's also specifically a color someone with colorblindness would struggle to classify (and Sean is mild protanopic colorblind).

[@uwurawr1013]

You guys seriously created the best podcast to exist in my opinion

[@YousefMohamedAbdulMoniem]

RAHHHHHHH

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

I’ll admit to being heavily biased, since I’ve been watching Seán, who then introduced me to Ethan, for quite some time now. Having said that, if Brain Leak had been my introduction to both of them, I think I’d be just as enamored with their genuine friendship, earnest chemistry and natural flow of conversations as I am now. 💚🧠👀💚

[@karenseveson]

I've only seen this podcast but I agree

[@mikaonthemoon]

I took the quiz with you and got Nebula. 2% of people, Meteorite is a strong attraction, my cosmic ingredients say: “100% too many hobbies, 100% too many thoughts, 30% AaaaAAAaah” 😂

[@dylangriffiths4191]

I got nebula too hahahah

[@jaybob666]

I got UFO, 1% of people, galaxy and dark matter are strong attractions, 70% shower thoughts 27% books, coffee and more books 3% overthinking. 😅

[@Ozzy.21]

I got rocket🚀 2% of people, ingredients: 100% efficiency, 89% tough love, 11% "sowwy, didn't mean it", 0% sugarcoat 😂

[@BlackDragonQueen]

What quiz is this again? Anyone got an addy?

[@DIDsociative]

also got Nebula lol

[@a_men_diet]

I know I'm a simp but man, Ethan looks really good 😍

[@kodei7662]

I was looking for this comment cuz I agree 😂

[@BecxCozyCorner]

Why does Ethan's outfit remind me of Johnny Bravo 😂😂

[@TissueCat_]

wait you're right 😂

[@lunalena9377]

lol - Cosmic Hand. “not arguing, just explaining why I’m right!” Is a level of personal attack I wasn’t expecting from a quiz involving space cats 😅

[@chaosstrolling1598]

I would love a compilation video of all the different ways y’all say “brain leak” for transitions lol

[@jjstcase]

this please!

[@ynchay]

Yassss!!!

[@in-craig-ible6160]

50 episodes, wow. I listen to them while working, it's amazing how they can help the time fly by.

[@DemonFromMel]

Ethan's Matrix look is giving Spike from Buffy and I'm so here for it

[@danniballecter7936]

As a person that has chronic migraines, most people have such little understanding of how bad migraines can be and that it's more than "just a headache." A little fact not everyone knows...hell, I didn't know til my neurologist informed me....but you can have a migraine without the severe pain. I get them a lot...it's not severe pain, more like a regular headache...but still localized to one area. However, I still have the light and noise sensitivity, and the nausea that goes along with it. When I told my neurologist I experienced this, she said those are also migraine. To be clear, I also get the migraines with the excruciating pain. The worst ones are when I wake up in pain like that...ugh. And I have soooo many triggers for my migraines. :( It's probably easier to list what doesn't trigger migraines, at this point. Also, my brother had a migraine located in the back of his head once and it was so bad he had temporary amnesia for 3 days. Scary af. Thankfully, I've note experienced that. I have definitely had the aphasia though, from migraines. Awful feeling. ALSO....I am in a similar situation wrt meds that I cannot take. I did get the botox injections (once every 3 months) and it significantly reduced the frequency of my migraines (from multiple times a day for 5-6 days a week down to twice a week). I now take Emgality, which is an injection I give myself monthly, and it works just as well.

[@WomenRQueensNMyFaceIsTheThrome]

This makes sense bc I though the same until Sean said it and I saw your comment- I always thought just horrific pain which I do get sometimes but almost weekly and sometimes daily I get the effects of vision and brain fog that I didn't connect to migraines so I feel you on this

[@_Kuma_]

Botox has been a lifesaver for me! I had ~25-30 migraine days a month and now have about 5

[@jennynoorakaroliina]

*Satellite* 9% people are also this type. "I'm not yelling, this is just my voice." 🤣🤣🤣

[@shealynfriesen7675]

What's the quiz called ? I missed it

[@staceynoir1988]

My mum has hemiplegic migraines, they’re one of many forms of dysfunctional migraines, the ones with aphasia are another kind . She gets botox in her scalp and forehead every 3 months and its been life changing x

[@wolfiemuse]

Also, there’s a lovely preventative shot you get once a month called Emgality that I take and a medicine you take at the onset of a migraine called Imitrex. They’ve been life changing

[@bleh814]

We’ve hit the 50th episode milestone!!! shout out to the fellow leakers who have been here since the first episode😎

[@elsieallanpoe]

Aquarium one? STINGRAY. stingrays are so CUTE. I love them so much

[@jjstcase]

THIS!! I went to an aquarium when I was little and they displayed a MASSIVE stingray like probably like 10+ feet wide "wing" span, it's crazy! Now I love them so much even the tiny little ones!

[@abbyb6958]

31:25 I have asthma and was taking propranolol for migraines for a while. My asthma is extremely reactive and sensitive and I had no problems with propranolol. When migraines are severely affecting your life, it’s worth trying

[@DIDsociative]

Did the quiz and got Nebula (2%): Awkward genius, great friend/best enemy, inventing solutions to non-existing problems, only opens up to close friends, nothing is impossible My favorite part of mine is my cosmic ingredients: 100% Too many hobbies 100% Too many thoughts 30% AaaaAAAaah

[@neda7533]

this podcast needs way more attention😔

[@Blue_Ecstasy]

I’m really enjoying the migraine conversation because I’ve been suffering from them since I was 8 and the worst part is not actually being able to take anything for it

[@JMoon5216]

So I started having migraines when I was 6. That led to us finding a brain cyst that was pushing on my eye and had a shit ton of blood vessels in it. Got that removed, still had migraines. Had to have a plate and screw removed (screw was backing out) still have migraines. THANK YOU for explaining how debilitating migraines can be. My own parents who were there when I had my surgeries and my first migraines, don’t think they’re that bad. I don’t have aura with mine, so they literally just come out of nowhere. I started this injection medication that has really helped, but that just means when I do get one it’s ROUGH. Migraines suck.

[@alexismcloughlin]

Happy 50 Episode Leakers and you guys created the greatest podcast of all time in my opinion

[@analyticsystem4094]

Did the quiz and got Rocket (2%): Ready to face anything that’s foolish enough to face you, A reliable leader, “Stop crying and Start working”, *T-pose to assert dominance*, and “I’ll just do everything by myself”. My cosmic ingredients are: 100% efficiency, 89% Tough love, 11% Sowwy, didn’t mean it, and 0% sugarcoat.

[@lunaticwolverine799]

I love these guys so much 😂 Makes my Wednesday every time I see brain leak uploaded.

[@Dr._Squid]

My favorite way to fall asleep quickly is to tell myself a simple short story, kind of like a fable. I tend to do one that involves a frog for some reason. A cute little cartoon frog that goes on adventures, and I fall asleep in about 60 seconds. 😂

[@IswearmynameisLaura]

Sean's hair in this episode is goals!!!! Love the curls, would 100% watch a video about the hair journey and styling!

[@sue-fungyi2639]

Eef's giggles make me smile

[@TheParadiseBox]

I feel Seán's pain for the migraines so hard. They were chronic when I was a teen, messing up my vision in the exact same way he described. It wasn't until recently that I realized that most of my migraines were caused from being overstimulated because of AuDHD, which honestly explains why it doesn't happen to me as often anymore since I work from home. The only way I can curb those migraines is by taking 3 Tylenols as soon as I notice minor discrepancies in my vision.

[@Beansidhe413]

I think Seán would look awesome with the gray hair

[@jazzhands9145]

I can't believe it's been 50 eps already. Feels like not enough lol. Literally the most entertaining podcast I've ever listened to ❤

[@micameows]

15:23 sean you won’t believe this but there actually is a matrix emote that’s dodging bullets. there’s also one that’s trinity’s kick where she jumps up and kicks. both are in slow mo i think

[@astro-porsche]

My friend had a lot of the same symptoms as Jack and then she eventually found out she had a small brain cyst and has a shunt now. She’s mostly doing better! But I’m glad he’s seen neurologists and getting MRIs to check!

[@briannaabrego4485]

I have a shunt!

[@pedrostormrage]

56:07 "There's a little British pub here" "Do you think I'm British? Why wouldn't we go to an Irish pub?" "Because there's not an Irish pub" And that was the right answer to keep the friendship 👍

[@NotEpicGuy]

I think my sea creature I'd geek out about seeing is a octopus but like a cool big one or maybe a cool squid and for a zoo it's a giraffe. Love the podcast keep up the amazing work. I also got nebula for the personality quiz

[@SnugglySepticEye]

Writing to say that I relate to the self hatred but we love you boys! Thank you two for your honesty. I feel like that's what missing from KZbin; honesty. Always feel more connected when people speak their truth. Thank you two for everything! 💛🤎💚

[@MrLeava]

As someone that gets migraines almost monthly or more, ive found puking somehow helps and then i take sleeping meds and sleep through it as much, cant see out of my left eye its like a static tv for my vision, but ive never experience the days of foggyness, but i usually has a mild headache for the next day or so

[@Connor-zl8gi]

Here's my strengths and weaknesses: Strengths: Good listener (when I want to be), overly positive, kind-hearted and I try to help. Weakness: Planning things. I'm always a follower.

[@ryanschnell930]

i hope ur selflove can improve sean

[@emerycorner]

omg what a little insomniac treat for me, i forgot it was wednesday now

[@vanalibra]

If I had a penny for every time Sean and Ethan talked about making a scrotum themed perfume, I’d have 2 pennies. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@sarahlister868]

Always appreciate the frank mental and physical health discussion on this podcast 💙

[@qlahood7448]

That's gonna look so cool when you let it grow out Sean ❤ I love natural grey and white! I think it looks so cool. Like a cats pattern or something lol I think it's like a cosmetic change without the effort lol

[@gamingturky5294]

“Xylophone Yellow” I’m dead💀💀

[@mademmie]

This week's episode was more therapeutic than my actual therapy session. Cheers!

[@alexandercarter9598]

I used to have migraines. I like to say I grew out of them, because that's way less embarrassing than "I'm Autistic and I kept forgetting to drink water, so my brain was in physical agony"

[@myyyles]

This podcast makes me happy

[@annahammond6947]

It pisses me off that these don’t get enough views that they deserve because I love them and I’ve showed them to my friends and they love them 😤😤

[@eliaspohl5741]

Omg, please give ethan more compliments and make him take them❤

[@JLynne36]

Galaxy - 3% Showering others with compliments, "The more the merrier!" (very selective), Single handedly banish negativity, Really love handmade gifts, "It's ok to make mistakes" Strengths: Chief emotional officer (whatever that means), Very good listener, "Let me help you, please" Weaknesses: Responsibilities overload (100%), Intense, Can't lie (true)

[@AnoukPennings]

i listened to this driving home from work and must have looked like an absolute crazy lady when i cracked up at "there is no spoon, WUUUUAAH"

[@ArtisticBishoujo]

Ethan lookin more like a teen version of Wesker 😂😂

[@zaza_ink]

1:06:43 “Confused and Confusing” has never more accurately described my mental state. Need a fucking t-shirt 😭

[@ACatOutOfTouch]

Sean the shimmery effects for ocular migraines are called visual snow! It’s often reported from people with ADHD and other mental disorders. I’ve had it since I was really little and I had no idea that it wasn’t normal.

[@ditdah]

I started going grey in college, was completely grey by early 30s. It's super cool right now, let it grow out and then do a blue/purple rinse to make it super silver, sleek, and awesome.

[@stephaniegroberg31]

I got Nebula on the quiz. Pretty on point lol. You guys are the best btw. Love your energy together.

[@Thomas_Angelo]

Ethan is such a relatable baby man. I'm 6'5 but I can't stop saying things in baby voice.

[@derwerwolf93]

I took the quiz and got Dark Matter. Yeehaw. Strengths- Talks to themselves (not sure how that's a strength, but yes) Magically breaks up fights (nope) Impossible to hate (I'm not so sure about that) Weaknesses- Sensitive *sobs* (deep down, yes) Self-critical (YUP) Has to be forced to go out (hey, only by myself) General traits- Throwing your affections in their faces (yes, please, give affection) Messed up sleep schedule (hey. I mean, true, but hey) "I will do better next time!" (I'll try) Super chill perfectionist (yeah) Spend hours digging through cat memes (yup) Ingredients- 50% Offering free therapy (yup) 35% Unfiltered (sometimes) 15% Imagining fake scenarios to fall asleep (close, more like recalling real ones)

[@AussieCassPlays]

How are we at episode 50 already?! Congrats, fellas!

[@Tastylettuce12]

As someone who gets frequent migraines, green light therapy in conjunction with more conventional means is amazing.

[@davidbrown1342]

My first time Watching the Matrix was in my high school Philosophy class, I remember loving the movie, and have watched it at least once or twice a year. Stay Leaky

[@freasaurusASMR]

I had a migraine episode in lockdown but the symptoms were so stroke like that I was taken to A&E cause I didn't know what month we were in, I couldn't hold my arms out straight because they got so numb and one side of my face was drooping. The episode lasted for near 20 hours but I got better and now deal with migraines a lot less. To anyone that experiences one (especially an orbital one) I would highly suggest green light therapy even before bed because it is genuinely so helpful as well as medications - even if you're like me and try not to take painkillers for anything lol. nth we were in or the time of day

[@oblivionvsnature3101]

Love these podcasts for work gets my mind off the monotony😂😂

[@petrichors_ghost]

took the quiz and also got gravity! i think it was super accurate tbh

[@itstaylor2137]

“Baby Hitler” has me weak

[@CassandraPlante]

In the Boston Aquarium I was so stoked to see the Sea Turtle. It was magnificent. Swimming around the giant middle tank. I kept a photo of it as my desktop background for like 2 years.

[@peytondagenais479]

The episode dropped 49 minutes ago, I'm on a minibg mission. Ethan and Sean will be my guides.

[@witchmomo]

My understanding of Trinity falling in love with Neo was because the oracle told her she would fall in love with the one. Just like how Neo wouldn't have broken the vase if she hadn't said anything. The more Morphus proved he was the one the more she fell in love with him. Just sharing some thoughts. 🥰

[@vinniewhines]

the results of the test are so fun !!! all the suns put your hands up ☀️

[@StudderMine]

i get those exact symptoms from my ADHD meds. just thought id mention that since i changed my meds due to those ocular migrains happeing more and more frequently as i took it

[@unsweetsweets]

1:12:52 either the dolphins or glowing jellyfish. Dolphins are my "shark" answer, but seeing cool jellyfish would 100% make me gasp and stare

[@justinabean94]

me audibly yelling "that's wtf i'm talkin' about!!" when ethan said big jelly fish.

[@wolfiemuse]

7:00 “Woke” was a term used by the left long before it was used by the right. Particularly, I believe it came from black American culture to describe someone who was aware of the oppression they faced, was “woke” to the racism and other cultural and identity oppression they face based purely on their skin color on a daily basis. It was co-opted by the right to become an insult. It’s silly to try to use it as an insult. It was meant to be a good thing.

[@nicholaspeters9919]

The amount of irony inherent to the language, actions, and attitude of right wing extremism (or any extremist movement really), is so abundant that I find it to be simultaneously hilarious and perhaps the most unfunny thing I’ve ever experienced.

[@wolfiemuse]

@@nicholaspeters9919 Yeah, I lean towards the latter of those options 🤣 although I try to take it in stride and reassure myself that there are things in place to keep someone from becoming an autocrat president 🥲😅 lmao

[@ivy666quinn]

Wednesday is the BEST day. I stay up late to catch each episode as soon as it drops. Happy Leakday everyone! 🩷💚

[@kalltdalfred]

I've been waiting alllll day for a new episode to drop!

[@violethell411]

25:01 YES PLEASE ‼️

[@reyxenuri]

I had that type of migraine back in middle school. The first time I actually thought I would permanently lose my vision. That was scary af. Luckily that only happened twice and since then I haven't had it again.

[@stitchpines4626]

I got gravity like Ethan and I hope you’re feeling better Sean 💙💚

[@Aldo.s.00022]

I'm also an ocular migrane "victim". Its prettu weird and i've noticed just being in a dark enviorment and taking a pain killer helps

[@devilsmisstress]

Long term migraine suffer here i get loss of vision numbness down one side of the body and speech sluring . Best thing to take during one is migraleave pink.

[@leahstoltz8883]

"the smell of code" ok you got me there that was clever. Thanks fellas! Also I am a fellow sufferer of migraines! There are vitamins you can take to help prevent them if you get them often aka magnesium oxide and riboflavin daily. If this doesnt help maybe your doc can get you a script for a 'Triptan. The one I take resolves my migraine within a half hour typically and has no addictive side effects. Best wishes to you both and good health to you, I pray, Sean. Oh also my favorite aquatic animal is a pufferfish. They look like an appendix at first all unassuming and then you tap on the glass and BAM! prickily potato! Pretty cool. Did the quiz... got dark matter or something so I took it again and got UFO. I think I agree more with the ufo personality traits and such.

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

Somehow it makes complete sense to me that Shelby Shubble is the one who sent Ethan this weird space personality quiz lol. What an interesting one! I love that kind of thing.

[@skylarmadison9495]

I have the same kind of migraines as Sean. I usually have body parts going numb including arms, legs, teeth, nose. (Just depends one the day ig lol) I remember one time not being able to speak properly and I genuinely thought I was having a stroke. And since then I have to remind myself over and over not to panic. I hate migraines with a burning passion.

[@YoGurlShanilla]

I love Ethan's hair like that and I also wanna say the quote from Mean Girls movie: "Your hair looks sexy pushed back"

[@akbmfm]

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, Lions have tended to win in a fight with Tigers, as they frequently wrestle and contest with others in a pride, whereas the tiger is solitary in nature, and thus does not attain the same combat experience as a lion.

[@lizzierose2462]

I also suffer from chronic migranes and I would be suffering with headaches more than half of my days out of the month and I get the blurred vision where I cant read. I am also on a preventative medication and I have pretty bad asthma so I'm not sure why they wouldn't let Sean be on a preventative medication. I'm on Sumatriptin and Toprimate and they both work fine for me.

[@lianna3814]

Sean aagghhh migraines are so awful, those symptoms sound so incredibly tough!! I've been on propranolol and painkillers just do nothing haha I hope you find something that helps!!

[@brandonnelson6076]

As someone who has gotten those migraines my whole life, they are the worst.... I went to physical therapy and they got better.

[@funkway]

I took the quiz and got Black Hole, which is 4% of people. And omg everything it said was true 😭 Also, Seán I think you'd look good with gray! I have said I would embrace my grays, but only if the texture isn't uneven and it doesn't look dull. Because then I'll be dyeing it a more vibrant grey/silver/white. My poor husband is nearly grey at 33 - well, what's left of it 😅

[@MadraRua97]

I get botox for migraines, and it literally saved my life. I had daily migraines that made me sick and botox was the best thing

[@WhatsMyFandom]

Wesker lives again

[@AmandaC.]

Seàn not owning a pint glass should be reason enough to revoke his Irish card! 😂 (Note: this was straight from the mouth of my Irish roommate, its all in jest people!)

[@LamourVanity09]

I get ocular migraines where it’s the little squiggle lines then I know I’m about to feel pain, I have to just go lay down and take my preventative meds. If I don’t catch it in time the pain is awful.

[@richardbrothwood5022]

I remember buying the first Matrix on VHS and watching it about 40 times in first 2 weeks of owning it lol

[@LeegionGames]

I absolutely love Keanu Reeves, his performance in Cyberpunk 2077 is so underrated, Johnny Silverhand is such an awesome character and he goes through as much development as V does in that game perhaps even more so.

[@zombiestinky]

7 minutes... 7 minutes was all i could spare to watch this video
