Elon Musk Killed Monkeys For This!!! | Brain Leak Ep. 45

This week on an all new Brain Leak, Sean and Ethan muse over one day delivering your mail (or, at the very least, playing a mail-delivery video game). Together, the boys also discuss the palpable fear that comes with a world filled with Apple Vision Pro’s and Neuralink…

"Pissing by yourself handsome?" Ethan is insane

[@carrieadcock1250]

😂 best pick-up line ever though

[@lazekozuya]

i fucking love Ethans jokes LMAO

[@SquixHD]

Thats a reference to a tiktok meme thing

[@marthmallow7420]

oh well it's still funny ​@@SquixHD

[@SquixHD]

@@marthmallow7420 this is true

[@ClowderLink]

Leaking everywhere, thanks

[@QuandaleBeatle]

This sounds like a cursed Ebay review

[@SnugglySepticEye]

Especially when Seán said “ah Brain Leak.” He knew what he was doing.

[@Nero_9000]

Did jacksepticeye talk about doing a Sekrio marathon like he did of dark souls and Bloodborne?

[@michaelmeyer1477]

Chillas Art needs to make a scary Mailman game where you deliver mail to creepy people

[@caffeinated_25]

Walking around my neighborhood, some dogs scare the bejeezers out of me! And I don’t have to get anywhere near the house. That would have to be a jump scare.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

Chilla’s Art did make Night Delivery, which wasn’t about a mail carrier per say, but did have a protagonist who delivered packages to an apartment complex. Seán created a very suspenseful intro to his recording of said game, which a lot of people mistook for Ego Content. There was another delivery-style game that Seán played in which he was in the back of a truck and hurled packages at people’s houses. It was during one of his X Games in One Video uploads from 2018. Of course Seán has recorded so many videos over the years that he probably couldn’t remember either of them; especially when he’s in the middle of a conversation with Ethan. 🧠👀🧠👀

[@marthmallow7420]

i'm pretty sure they did make one, "Night Delivery"

[@lunaticwolverine799]

51:33 something that I love about this podcast is when they are discussing something and one of them is COMPELLED to immediately look it up and research it and you hear furious typing 😂

[@EMT74]

I feel this

[@anironsidh]

ADHD moment 😂

[@invaderaries7364]

Sean: I had my pants and underwear tied around my head, and I was running around the house screaming at the top of my lungs Me: Ah, the rare viewing of the Irish Mating Call

[@SnugglySepticEye]

Forget Valentine's Day, this is Seán on the daily.

[@Septic-Hearts]

I kinda love the idea of somone skipping through this video, just spamming the j key and hearing "shit was EVERYWHERE" then "I think the monkeys should unionize" and then "he was holding his father's severed head". The tonal whiplash is immaculate on this podcast. You guys never let us know your next move it's incredible

[@Its_Over_Anakin]

That's ADHD for ya

[@TissueCat_]

one of the reasons i love this podcast (aside from enjoying the topics and their personalities) is how genuine their friendship is. they both laugh at eachothers jokes so often and it always feels so authentic, like they're just having a fun time hanging out and chatting. a podcast doesnt NEED that dynamic to be entertaining, but it definitely adds to the experience in my opinion.

[@jnicole510]

THIS

[@spyva7117]

US Mailer here: 1. There is city and rural (like mountain areas) mail, almost always both are severely understaffed. You get a route, city ppl walk their routes, rural usually drive. 2. Yes u sort mail, u have address on a cubby for each section ie section 1: 100 A street, 101 A street, exc 3. No certification however there is a 2 week training and then on job training (think shadowing a job) 4. You dont have to knock. Most ppl i know dont even leave the car. Ur lucky if ur package doesnt get yeeted somewhere youll never find. However this could be my county. 5. Here they pay based off route, if a route is 4hrs you get paid 4 hrs even if u did 2 or 8hrs of work. Only exception is if u work overtime then it switches to hrly. 6. It almost impossible to get fired, know a lady who is know for driving under many influences and has crashed the car several times (them all being hard enough to render the truck out of use) and she gets a 1 week retraining at max each time

[@ivy666quinn]

In Texas you need certification to be a rural mail carrier. I did 4 weeks of Academy. I burned my certification when I quit lol. But yeah I rarely left my LLV unless I had bigger parcels to take to the door.

[@littlelk]

2:31 Sean imitating Ethan is free seratonin, thanks guys

[@alexisproulx1398]

*my brain 🧠 while I'm watching* : "now the question is... is it a poo-pisode, a poop-isode, or a poo-piss-ode...?"

[@davidcroucher6262]

my brain 🧠 while I'm reading: "poo-piss-ode is the funniest, but poop-isode is number 2!"

[@happypasta6]

On Ethan hanging out at home naked: Sean: What if there’s a mailman in your house? Me flashing back to the delivery man coming during a “certain” UA video 😂

[@patricksragdoll4573]

Best moment lol

[@shannonbrown8591]

I absolutely just lost it at "seagulls should meet coyotes"🤣🤣🤣 10/10 podcast material

[@SetsukoSnow]

Talking about mail..I work for UPS..im listening as I work right now! So to answer the questions incase anyone else is interested :P no you don't need to be certified in anything and you get paid decent..also as UPS for 70% of packages we just ring the doorbell, drop the package *take pic* and run away before anyone comes to the door to avoid human interaction..cause sometimes I've dealt with naked people answering the door..once with lubed up hands *true story* in which I needed a signature for..the job isn't the best job ever but man do I have some stories! Stay leaky people!..just don't be leaking to much when I knock at your door to deliver something

[@Emojo]

Time to sit and let my brain leak to the amazement of ethan and jacks voice

[@SnugglySepticEye]

Seán’s voice always is mesmerizing to me because Irish. (Sorry Eef love you too!)

[@darthpettyy]

"I would absolutely obliterate a child's leg" 😂😂😂😂

[@rowanoak]

i feel like this podcast just started but they are already 45 episodes in and it’s wild to me

[@meganmadson8588]

once during class i looked over to my friend and could see just the smallest corner of a card peeking out of her back pocket and i was like “hannah,,,is that an uno reverse card?” and she was like “you weren’t supposed to see that”

[@davidcroucher6262]

Bears and wolves used to roam Britain and Ireland, but they were hunted to extinction.

[@savviana]

“what’d your podcast talk about?” “…mail.”

[@SnugglySepticEye]

My dad one time on vacation asked me what I was listening to so intensely. It was the fly episode a few months back.

[@AxiEisa]

"Pissing all by yerself, HanSome?" - Ethan Nestor

[@lunaticwolverine799]

I would so buy Sean and Ethan’s Album of Sounds You’ve Never Heard Before!

[@aaron088]

sean and ethan taking the piss out of neurolink is what i needed today haha

[@Iribus.music2244]

Speaking of the penis museum, on the Isle of Wight (southern England) in Sandown we have a “poo museum” which is in what was an old fort, it’s…an interesting place but honestly perfect for the podcast😂

[@sanamo3893]

I swear these two are my comfort people. if ive had a bad day ill just listen to them leak and I'm all good again

[@one_mel_swoop]

So I live in Buffalo NY and what most people don't know (even those who live there) is that we're actually on a major fault line. But our earthquakes DO in fact feel like a big truck drove by. Your chair vibrates for a second and that's it. I've been through 4 that I rememeber actually feeling, but there's at least 2-3 a year.

[@unknownmagic9960]

Another lovely brain leak episode is just what I needed this day Thank you leakers 🧠

[@jedililou2178]

Seán: don't you know how to read? Me: 🎵i just wanna learn how to read... come on mister.... lets succeed i want to learn how to read. I want to learn how to read. Please, please, teach me how to read. 🎵

[@Rob8sass]

That father that was murdered and beheaded and posted online happened in the neighborhood across the street from me, crazy. We were all shocked, like how is that online.

[@WEBPMAFIAONYOUTUBE]

damn

[@navigatingjxss]

I saw the og vid unfortunately and it really was gut wrenching. Im sorry that situation was near you

[@sharan_aditya]

You really want a mailman game? Did you forget Death Stranding exists?

[@JeremiahWarwick-k2r]

He needs to play the second one.....

[@ashlynnmiller5733]

that is so funny omg. i skipped through the poop talk and as soon as i stopped tapping to skip through jack says imagine someone tapping through to skip the poop talk lmao

[@SoldCitizen]

As a biologist who has been to the penis museum in Iceland, I will advocate that it is SO COOL!! So much concentrated information on animal breeding and they’re all so different from each other. Absolutely inspiring.

[@axelasmodeus03]

My dad’s a mail clerk in an office and he loves his job and his customers love him a lot. There is indeed mailman school 😂

[@Burbund]

Ngl, the nauralink idea sounds dope for disabled people for prosthetics and stuff If anyone but elon would be doing it it could be cool Also it's not reading your thoughts, we can't do that with a supercomputer and mri. It just interprets nerve signals it's connected to, to like if You imagine how it is to have tail with the feeling of it and all, i'd guess that would be a similar feeling to using neural interface to do something It probably also requires some learning Some time ago i saw on yt some startup do prosthetic hands that sense severed nerve connections under skin and people who tested it reported feeling phantom touch when touching things with the prosthetics tldr human brain is wilder than imagination sometimes

[@planetaryg0]

y'all r my fave podcast fr ur bouncing energies make my brain happy

[@Ethan.solarsoul]

Whole new definition to charging your social battery

[@Scudge0]

12:07, I've also seen Liquid Death at Tesco and Morrisons etc. (for the non U.S. of us) :)

[@steviebyers3161]

I will never stop loving brain leak 😂 it’s great to cover such important topics from individuals who are both fun loving but serious in how they address social issues

[@alexismcloughlin]

Wednesday is my favourite day of the week time to sit and let my brain leak to the amazement of Sean and Ethan's voice

[@princessblazena]

"It'll take them years to sort this out. This is his and now it's yours, and this hers and now it's his! And for the rest of you: Jury duty! Jury duty! Jury duty!"

[@night8owel8]

The egg talk at the end is about to send me down one hell of a rabbit hole

[@SpiderMonkey20s]

As a mailman and leaker both, I can confirm that the worst part of my job is needing to stop what I'm doing and get a signature from someone. Also, there is no specific mailman certification, but there is mailman school that you have to go to. Typically three to four days of training before you can start delivering mail. I don't know how it works at every location, but my office requires us to come in before our route and sort the mail.

[@Krispi-Kat]

The New Year's Rockin Eve doomsday joke sounds like a Futurama joke. Lol

[@ShadowWolflonewolf]

56:00 gotta bop in and say we do get tornados and earthquakes, just not to the scale that other places do. Remember there being an earthquake when I was a kid but just slept through it. And seen a mini tornado whip through my town couple years ago

[@flavorflav8860]

As a mailman I can confirm this is true.

[@brims96]

22:00 One of the cool uses for brain-machine interfaces is for people with physical disabilities, such as prostheses. So instead of just having a piece of plastic attached to your arm, you can have a mechanical device that connects to your brain and returns full range of motion! Or helps with speech impediments, allowing communication directly from the brain to a device (a la Stephen Hawking). Not saying that Neuralink or Elon are the ones to achieve this, but the general technology has been around for a while and is pretty exciting!

[@WhatsMyFandom]

3:29-3:32 Great excuse lol

[@Iribus.music2244]

Woooo been waiting all week for this!!! Literally been listening to the Spotify version and turned it off the second this came up :)

[@Iribus.music2244]

Btw First :)

[@scuffedshoes9623]

19:22 post mouse is a cute little fantasy mail game to check out

[@Jack-dr5qh]

24:38 there’s an episode of Fx’s Archer where that’s the plot 😂

[@ABitSoupy]

Brain Leak before work, a true blessing of a gift

[@madisonwright4414]

Me working as a mail carrier listening to this while they're wondering if they have any leaky mail carriers. Just leaking on the job every episode 😂

[@whytower]

I'm a city carrier for USPS. Its wildly understaffed right now. Please apply. Im so tired. You can work up to 12 hours a day 13 days in a row. We work Sundays now cause Amazon can't handle their shit. If we just had more people across the board itd be so much nicer. It was such an easy job to get. The application process is kind of difficult to get through Because it's all through email. The test is online now. You don't have to go in person. You can be sent anywhere within 50 miles of your office. Which suuucks. Which is why I need more people to apply.

[@karla-wi2oh]

not a mail man but i work for fedex express! i started out as a sorter in the warehouse but now im a ramp agent! were a smallish ramp but yeah its interesting working with packages and planes

[@dgriffin3113]

There's a game called Lake that's a mail game. You play as a woman who delivers packages in this small town and you talk with the townsfolk and stuff. Pretty neat little game

[@amittesukku]

That was my first thought!

[@ireymm]

19:01 Gab Smolders has a gameplay of it from 9 months ago, it's a very cute game

[@rainbowtie18]

I don't know why but the first 10 minutes of this episode especially made me giggle so much lol

[@hightopshannah]

Leaked all over the place for this one thanks lads

[@21Michichi]

I got my septic sam plushie today!!

[@marthmallow7420]

my older sister and a friend from high school work at our post office and we don't have our stuff delivered to our door, but sometimes fresh meat gets delivered door-to-door. caribou (yum), fish (ick), sometimes two bags of shrimp (ick)

[@supersheik777]

No worries Sean your not alone I'm with u in spirit I know your a good guy...😊

[@Allie3000-uu6jc]

As for mail games, I watched Josh from Let’s Game It Out play an early version of Willowbrooke Post. If it got finished, that’s your mail game.

[@MetalMonkey]

Speaking of Bears, did you know that Polar Bears are descendants of the Irish Black Bear

[@youngproductions4152]

Feels kinda like brain leak has become a celebrity drama podcast

[@annabell4549]

my mom works in a company that's part of some "club" and they somehow get tickets to the ravens games every year for customers- if the ravens had won she would've gone to the super bowl. so ik a lot of companies buy tickets so it's probably not as many people just spending their own money on the tickets (although there definitely are some who do spend that crazy amount to go)

[@paigeloudenslager8120]

No way they talked about a kid who graduated with my sister... he just got sentenced life after a few years.

[@eliaspohl5741]

I was a mailman once... it was torture. I had to bike in the freezing cold, I was working from 5 am (yes, we do sort the mail ourselves) to like 6 pm. You always had to hurry so fucking much, there was to much work and if I worked over 8h (that was every time), I had to sign and lie that I didn't so the company wouldn't get fucked by the country (Slovenia). I was exhausted, and I was freezing every day, I still feel the impact of the cold in my hands every time it gets cold. I just don't have enough blood in my hands anymore, or idk. So, I hope the other post companies are way better. Lession learned the hard way. If your boss is abusing you or doing illegal shit, what fucking ever they do that you don't want, say no. I know it's hard, but money is not worth more than any kind of health. Now im in a much better place, and it's gonna go only up with time❤. Stay leaky

[@wartygourd]

imagine you're being read what's being charged against you and you just go "nuh uh" and wiggle your pointer finger at them☝🏽

Young mail carrier here. Knocking on people’s doors is literally the worst part of the job. I got into it because it was just the best paying job I could get out of college while looking for something in my field

[@raymondcarty4325]

I’d feckin love a multi-episode road trip where Seán just shows Ethan around Ireland. You could go to Dublin zoo and look at the wet sad orang-utans.

[@Caitlyn_McChicken]

I’m a mail lady in Michigan and yes you go to mailman school for a week😂 ya gotta learn how to drive on the other side of the car for the mailbox 📫 it’s a chill job but getting bit by a Great Dane isn’t fun😅🐶

I don't work with mail like a postman but I package sewing stuff 🤣🤣 like a small FedEx

[@maggiejennings1436]

i moved to the west of ireland back in august 2023 and since then, I've heard of two tornadoes. so there's stuff happening, but its not nearly as deadly as america

[@aminilife1]

I really like the picture in my head of a tiny Seán running around butt naked,screaming and yelling, running towards an open patio door and Evelien diving from the other side of the room, determination on her face, and wrangle him to the ground to prevent him from escaping and wreaking havoc in the neighborhood 😂 About a mail game: Lake (on Steam) is very cozy! I've played the 2h demo, and it's so cool! Can't wait to get into the full game 🥰 Oh no. Do you know, how people try to charge their phones in the microwave? And it goes horribly? What if people start trying to charge their Neurolink by putting their heads in a microwave?

[@gwenzelle65]

first of all i paused at 10:13 to write this and and the expressions are incredible, and second of all "ah, FUCK! i saw the face of god for a second there" just made me laugh so fucking hard and it didn't get even a chuckle from ethan. shoutout to the throw-away jokes.

[@Kirsty.K]

My dad works for Royal Mail and I accidentally outed his friends and him when we had a school trip to the office and I was asked to demonstrate how to post mail and I dropped the letter in front of this fake door and then just kicked it under the door 😂😂 I was 6😂 my dad has so many funny stories from working as a postie, you see some super weird stuff.

[@arsgoeboy]

30:00 Cynomolgus monkeys, I’m assuming? I gotta double-check when it comes to monkey studies, but I’ve seen a lot of animal studies where it is in fact routine to “sacrifice” (euthanize and then take histological tissue samples for further study) the test animals

[@Bluearabica]

Omg at 59:37 or 38 minutes in they need to go do the sounds on Who's Line.
