[@space_1073]

In the Vsauce video about why middle aged people look so young now, they literally pulled up a picture of Adam as an example of millennials not aging.

[@hatknuckles3658]

Holy shit youre right

[@sebastianlightcap2764]

I saw that video having no knowledge of that and fucking lost it when Adam popped up

[@leorolando1924]

You can tell how close Nick is to his friends that he even has extensive talks with Stav and Adam's doctors about their estrogen levels/amount of gay sex they're having.

[@petern326]

adam being almost 3 years older then Nick makes this conversation extremely funny

[@williamgass9242]

Every conversation they've had has been the same in that regard.

[@cicerogsuphoesdown7723]

Adams 37/8? Jesus

[@TheFingledorf]

He's older than Homer who is 39.

[@williamgass9242]

[@eduardosuarez2414]

Adam's 18 months older than Nick. This nigga think there's 6 months in a year.

[@outoftunebro21]

It’s awesome how Adam clearly just skimmed an article that had the phrase “arrested development” in it and thought “I’m gonna use that later” and then he gave up on discussing it before it even started because he realized he forgot the rest of the article.

[@JeffNixonComedy]

Hahahah I read this just before that moment and it was very funny

[@2dollar40]

As a gay dad on opioids, this resonates with me.

[@robweissman5952]

Jeez... How cold is it in that studio?... It's not even cold enough outside to be as bundled up as Nick.

[@SlyElliot]

From my perspective, I went to NYC this week and I ran into Adam and Nick randomly on the street near Koreatown and I said hi to them- Adam exclaimed it was Nick's birthday so I shook his hand hello and said happy birthday. Then I go on KZbin to see a video they upload after his birthday where Adam and Nick are having an existential crisis about their age. I guess Nick did not have a happy birthday.

[@unhhgcrxexhjvuvujchcrzwzwz7956]

Syee

[@eduardosuarez2414]

If only Nick had matched this energy in his special, I would have turned it off after 5 minutes like I normally do, instead of soldiering on for another 45.

[@ericclaptonsrobotpilot7276]

I’d actually like to see Nick do stand-up with this energy. When I saw him live he was super manic, even more so than on the special.

[@jamestarrer4506]

This sounds like a Tom Meyers-level insult but what do I know, I'm gay

[@jung9399]

@@jamestarrer4506does the same joke over and over ever get old?

I would get this show recommended to me often when they were under the other name and I just couldn’t bring myself to click on it. it wasn’t until the Steve o episode where I finally tuned in and wow…Steve o is such a moron for not doing his home work and watching this show before hand… keep doing whatever it is u guys are doing cuz honestly it works

[@Kid_Ikaris]

To be a fool. To be a king. Being nice to Adam, is also a thing.

cancelling my patreon subscription this past month was one of the best decisions ive ever made

How cold is that studio ?

[@leonkhachooni3287]

Well now, That was a refreshingly mature conversation!

[@nebgreenfox7502]

Am I the only one that finds this to be incredibly depressing

[@goodvibes.9956]

This is the typical shit they do specifically Nick our lovely boy whom we just hope continues to live till natural causes interfere

[@SuzakuX]

My dad's rich as shit, co-ran a company worth millions in a subset of the oil industry... with his second wife, after he left me and my homemaker of a mother destitute when I was a teenager. Even when they were still married he was an absentee father, an adulterer, and a hard-r spouting bigot. So definitely takes more than providing money to be a good dad. I'm just counting the days until he croaks and I get my inheritance.

[@johncarson7324]

Your dad sounds awesome. You sound like a crybaby pissy eyed whining scumbug hard r. Onward.

[@SuzakuX]

On the bright side, your father turned you gay.

[@mr.coolmug3181]

You're not going to get yourself out of hell by crapping on your family.

[@CH-hh4mq]

I just had a past life regression. Nick and I were old chinese men smoking lots of opium in a tent. Kinda gay vibes in that tent ngl. Regular Adam was there.

[@andrewnicon]

"I'm letting you have the final word" put too much pressure on Adam and he started panicking.

[@coalescence6133]

Old nick looks like Dugin

[@dankmemes212]

Nick's, "im so lethargic and sad, and such a loser" is perhaps the most annoying thing he does.

[@creativenickname1]

Its unfortunate because without that entire part of his personality he wouldn't be a tenth as funny. Its a double edged sword

[@br3akstuff]

[@Googleguy-1]

Nick is slowing turning into a wax statue in real time, can't tell if they are on percs, but this is boring as hell

[@desktorp]

Sorry to get serious here, but the truth is that money is only the biggest factor in raising a good family if you are totally dependent upon the global economy. People raised huge families without international trade forever and you still can, but you have to actually give a shit and have some traditional values. The point is that-- if you are a bad person, money might allow you to raise halfway decent kids, so long as not too much of your personality and immorality rubs off on them.. but if you're a good person, you don't need much or any money to raise a good family.

[@jonstark7106]

Never grow up and always be gay!

[@automateeverything2341]

I recall the first time I stumbled upon the cumtown podcast, probably 2018ish. They were mocking Jordan Peterson's message about growing up, well, I guess he had the last laugh. Luckily, I don't think it's too late for them.

[@ragnakak]

You sound like a massive tool

[@Max25670]

That's what happens when your career has essentially been sitting down with your buddies and talking shit. Before you know it, you realize you are approaching 40 and forced to reflect on what you've actually accomplished in life.

[@jonusjonus9271]

@@Max25670that pretty much sums it up.

[@goldiefaun]

if it’s not in jest, nick really revealed himself to be super shallow if he actually thinks money is how to be a good father. in fact they are probably worse and more abuse fathers in many cases. if he actually thinks that, that’s sad man. money isn’t love or goodness whatsoever.

[@TGDTGD]

It’s a lot easier to be a good father when you can provide a good education and comfortable upbringing. Obviously if you’re an asshole to the kid it won’t undo that though.

[@MeganMikkelsen6037]

Nick's hypothetical kids are 100% iPad zombies.

[@LordJagd]

If Adam thinks listening to 90s music is what man children do then he has a very innocent naivety for how bad man children can get

[@grungepants]

If they quit the show I'll make a new cumtown type show that slowly gains traction over 5 years.

[@ChilledSpirit]

[@Sigh95]

Nick is so dedicated to this show that he still came in after climbing a mountain that day

[@williamgass9242]

A mountain or a hill?

[@schizophrenic_AI]

Climbing a mountain or sleeping on a park bench in Brooklyn when its freezing? Could be either one; both are admirable self-imposed feats of endurance.

[@Dhrrhee3e11a76]

He definitely speaks like a man who has climbed to the top of a mountain.

[@ericpettyfishing]

Nick already aborted his family. Talks about it in his special.

[@eduardosuarez2414]

RIP Renaldo Fink

[@MarcosElMalo2]

It’s a good thing he didn’t put it off. The Supreme Court is going to ban retroactive abortions before the first 1200 months. Even worse, they’re going to require parental notification for minors who wish to abort their parents. That’s going to give parents an unfair advantage.
