The fact you edited the shot/reverse-shot for an entire podcast is hilarious and infinitely endearing

[@TttoneDefff]

It somehow gets funnier as it goes on, the dedication is as you said super endearing

[@MemoriaMatters]

hi guys !! for context: each episode will be recorded in some kind of online game, not necessarily just roblox. although we do love roblox. we have no theme song or channel art or anything yet, and it'll just be on youtube for now. we will figure all that out in the next couple episodes. but for now enjoy whatever this is. 🫶

[@cyrtified]

Interesting concept. Love you both! Keep doing what you're doing.

[@mememan3202]

Skyrim would make a great table setting

[@TravisFoley-zn8xj]

webfishing would be perfect for this

[@janczy9206]

Incredible premise

[@crocutaqueen1311]

DO YALL NEED ARTS??? 😲 Hmmmm hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm. I'll listen and think about artz

[@janczy9206]

i can move my mouse cursor onto the cursor on the screen and it's like holding hands

[@rho-bot]

if someone said that to me i might fall in love

[@SSBFaded]

I wanna like but I don’t wanna ruin funny number

[@WhaleM1lker]

@@SSBFaded omg i almost ruined it

[@jack_of_nil]

​@SSBFaded funny number is nowhere near as funny as most funny comments. Funny number overrated.

[@fpsfrisco8741]

love the idea that austin is just grabbing a whole carrot for breakfast every morning and choking it down like a snake

[@MemoriaMatters]

that's what it sounds like

[@fpsfrisco8741]

@MemoriaMatters loved the podcast and ur vids thanks mem tell austin to chew his food or dont its his life

[@TJ-vo3rv]

This is the origin of the "mem saying fuck" bleep in Austin's videos, amazing lol.

[@theglaucusblue]

I know! Getting the full context is hilarious, almost as funny as the out of context random dubbed in Mem saying "Fuck" in Austin's last video.

[@Ashley6100]

0% chance of precipitation...immediately starts raining.

[@bel3961]

I love how you two end up having to swap playing the straight man on the fly when the other person goes off the rails. The constantly shifting dynamic makes for a very fun atmosphere.

[@EdenAdema]

The white monster joke got me

[@marthmallow7420]

"sick ........ we made a drink about it"

[@HollywoodFTW]

The origin of censoring "fuck" with "fuck"! Comedic gold. Great job, both of you. Keep up all the amazing and entertaining work. Wishing you all the best.

[@Julia-gn6yl]

mem never having tried an energy drink is the most PNW she's ever been

[@damianporter942]

as a 30 year old guy with disordered eating, sometimes i will be legitimately fatigued and nauseated due to a lack of eating and i'll STILL be like "but we dont have anything tasty...." like you can absolutely be very hungry and still not eat a carrot. and it sucks lmao.

[@alienhatz3265]

nah fuck eating a carrot

[@Terinije]

Would love a future episode to be just you two wandering around in an open world game or in Minecraft cooperatively building something. ... oh wait, that'd just be a let's play... I legitimately thought I was making a valid suggestion...

[@codeman374]

no but it would be cool if they both rode together in a carriage on red dead online or something. We can watch the scenery while they chat.

[@branflank]

this is the best podcast episode I've ever listened to (I'm 51 seconds in) I'm putting my vote in for gm_construct (in Garry's Mod) for next location

[@youngkhronic2243]

This is a fantastic idea for a location

[@Fonky_Fesh]

Ah, this place is weird

[@janczy9206]

if mem has no fans then i don't exist

[@ILBOI_X]

I WAS HERE WHEN PEAK BEGAN 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@TheLateHaunt]

Just came from Mem's Rod Fisher video and I gotta say - first of all, amazing work Mem - and secondly, good call on letting us think he was dead Austin! That reveal really hit. Loved it!

[@dunsonmovies]

“Let them eat beans.”

[@Zen.Connection]

me when the luck is good and the fun is had

[@alexnorton1832]

Yall starting a podcast together is maybe the greatest news of all time

[@aluminiumsandworm]

i found mem and therefore austin through the rob fisher video. it was so good it made me watch the rest of the mem extended universe

[@vicarludens]

I am walking in your steps

[@jjrussell_gallery]

Pro tip for under-eaters like us: just smash 100 g of cheese before bed with 5 or 6 crackers & a glass of water. Easy 500 calories, no sugar, cheese improves sleep (contrary to nightmares myth) and being full improves sleep (no waking due to hunger). Moreover, it forces you to exercise via the guilt of eating 700 g of cheese a week. If you don't jog & lift, you'll die from the fat intake.

[@orangeclockwork6904]

When I was a kid I also believed that stunts like car crashes and people falling off of cliffs were done by old people who didn't want to live anymore and wanted their final moments to be captured artistically. I wonder how many other kids thought the same thing. Maybe this is a new 'the talk' parents need to be having with their kids.

[@chuck-gg]

I deeply love the nanosaur sfx and beg you to never stop using them

[@SSBFaded]

Hey I just want to say both you guys Austin and Mem really inspire me to create videos of my own and to not worry about the algorithm etc and just do what I wanna do so keep being unapologetically you both of yall cause you guys are amazing fr

[@mariadocarmomariadocarmomaria]

i'm flabbergasted yall would slander eating and sleeping before thinking of giving up having to earn money

[@jacobstratton1140]

You’re good at this

[@any_austin]

tbf we literally are KZbinrs

[@Crotaro]

What flabbergasted me is that none said "cleaning your house/flat" Like wth, that's the one adult thing I REALLY struggle with

[@Ashley6100]

I was expecting to hear having to go to the loo after all that food talk.

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

Love Austin, found Mem from his page, love Mem now, found people from her page that I watch. Now THIS??? Hell yeah.

[@codeman374]

love this so much! and really liked hearing a bit of the behind the scenes brainstorming for a video that I watched prior to this. It's like the good old days when DVDs included BTS and bloopers. It might also be cool to film an episode of this while you both chill in an npc carriage on red dead or something, so we can watch the scenery roll by while you chat

[@MarkTheMagnificent]

57:01 Something I really like about the 80s and 90s is that kids movies weren't all comedies. They all have jokes and funny moments, but that's not always the focus. Jumanji was much more of an action adventure than it was anything else, and even had its own moments that could be considered horror. Kids experience a full spectrum of emotion, same as anyone, and I feel like we used to utilize that in kids media more often back then than we do today.

[@txwildboys]

I really love y’all’s dynamic. You’re guys’ personality and rhythm are so calming and funny

[@adobecult]

i'm gonna need a mem + austin star trek film tier list after mem finishes all of them !!!

[@RobertLagourney]

A mem + austin tier list series would be heavenly tbh

[@jakebrantley8889]

The Orville is actually good. Like heartfelt, tear jerking, real laughter good.

[@nothanks5531]

I googled my name and the first result was an obituary

[@jacobstratton1140]

Aw no thanks to that

[@jakebrantley8889]

Yeah username really showing ​@@jacobstratton1140

[@rhysmagill-nn6et]

This is my kinda podcast. You guys should chat at the liars dice table in thieves landing in red dead redemption 1.

[@thecomfyshirt]

Y’all are releasing these weekly right?! Cause I’m already addicted

[@HelsSixty4]

I'd meant to comment on that video but I LOVED Mem's video about Rod Fisher's games and would absolutely love if she kept doing stuff like that it was endearing. Also I'm glad that two of my favorite youtubers now have a podcast this is so sick

[@WillmotionAnimation]

big fan of this, I really hope we get a whole episode about the 4th star trek film once Mem watches it

[@XanBcoo]

Man, y'all were on it with the food discussion. Chewing food is such a goddamn chore that I didn't realize other people also felt strongly about

[@duhmark]

The food discussion was the type of relatable that helps me feel a lot better about my life and who i am. Thank you for that. As was the conversation about living one's life for one's self and the difficulty of maintain8ng a life under pressure. Mem halfway convinced me to drop out of grad school, but im almost certainly defending this year so that is not in the cards.

[@infinitelybanta]

I totally agree on the price of eggs. When a couple eggs is nearly a meal and it costs like .33 cents an egg on the expensive side, is this really a problem? And holy crap, it’s mind blowing to consider how many chickens we have enslaved to make that economically viable.

[@Caiiiiiiiiii]

If Mem has never gone Down the rabbit hole with Fredrick Knudsen, there’s so many little freaks she is yet know about. Would watch a react stream of the TempleOS or Time Cube episodes

[@crazyfrogmpreg]

I really enjoyed the conversation about how you were planning to approach certain topics in your videos and some behind the scenes stuff into the production side of things. You two are wonderful and funny and yet I also came out of this feeling like I learned something. I can't wait to listen to future episodes!

[@wimble6330]

Love this podcast! Gotta say though, I couldn't possibly relate less to your chat about food. Cooking is absolute me time! On the veg front, just roast a big tray of veg, blitz it in a food processor, mix it with a bit of yoghurt, and jar it as pasta sauce. Edit: also, 80s dark fantasy, recommend the 1986 Finnish film Lumikuningatar (Snow Queen). This and Dark Crystal were two of my favourite films as a kid, even though they both terrified me!

[@Lou-Mae]

i've always loved your collabs, so this is delightful. i like the discussion of the episode you just released, memoria, and it's really funny and fun to me that austin is advising you how to optimize viewer retention via constructing a compelling narrative. :)

[@Lou-Mae]

oh and it's great that random people dropped into your discussion. and that the roblox environment is kind of glitchy. it all fits.

[@darkgreedo2]

This was fantastic, and I will certainly be needing more of it.

[@Okihenlo]

My parents think I’m crazy for thinking the goonies was terrifying when I was little and you guys have confirmed it thank you.

[@RawfflesMyWaffles]

Just found both of your channels recently thanks to my suggested feed. Subsequently found the podcast- love it. Y’all rule!

[@stormiette]

As a longtime Star Trek fan (my favorites are the 90s series), I tried the Orville despite having the same doubts that you did, Mem, and couldn't get through the first episode. It was painfully unfunny, and pretty much what I expected. And like you said, there's so much actual Star Trek content, and once you get through it all, you'll just want to go back and rewatch DS9 anyway :D

[@MyPieceOnThat]

The white monster joke was so fucking funny oh my god

[@Spacemansid98]

YES MORE MEM N AUSTIN CONTENT LETS GO 🗣️

[@irishsaintzz]

I already commented on Mem's video about Rod, but I just want to reiterate how good a vid that was

[@nefariousyawn]

As someone that spent years working banquet service, it bothers me that the plates aren't clocked the same way around the table so the entree faces the guest.

[@exoticbutters3113]

this is the greatest day of my life. you two are my comfort creators. i often will pull one of your channels up and out it on play mix and watch until I fall asleep. when I'm having a really hard time, one of you is who I put on. now I don't have to choose or bounce around between yall, I can have both at once ;^; I'm so happy

[@nickjoseph77]

It's the finger slicer device. Sometimes people use it to cut the end of their cigars.

[@sneakingJ]

I'm pretty sure the movie where the fingers are being cut off is Darkman by Sam Rami!

[@thebeanpit]

My day just got better

[@bleachitwhite]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH literally the perfect thing to listen to while filling out grades…..thank u for these chats

[@bananak.37]

I really enjoyed this! especially the parts where ur talking abt struggles creating and doin things (oh no veggies!) its helps me humanize and empathize my own wackiness doin things to see other ppl talk abt stuff like that.anyways neato

[@RobertLagourney]

I vote for the next one to be in VRchat at the black cat club with both of you talking at the bar 😩

[@jommmsh]

I have never related to anyone less than I have when you two started talking about food, but I love you both! You’re the best

[@rayek4eq]

Mem! The movie with the guy getting his fingers cut off is the first Darkman movie, its the first thing that happens in the movie, and its weird that we have the SAME memory even though I'm like 38 - I think its a PG-13 movie thats a superhero movie, but honestly the cigar thing freaked me out so much that I haven't gone back and watched it.

[@H4ZM4TT]

When I was a kid playing ocarina of time at like 9 years old I thought redeads were the scariest thing ever. The scream they did was so scary to me

[@JoJo-is-the-name]

@1:05:34 Austin that is literally what every classic Trek fan who hasn't watched the Orville says until they watch the Orville. I know, because I was one of them! And also my parents. And my coworker. And my neighbor. lol.

[@D3MONGOD]

seeing this after the video is out and yeah it was incredible going down the rabbit hole

[@within_cells]

I love that you guys are doing a podcast together. I found both of your channels from the chained together video and love your dynamic. Instant sub!

[@MatthewForan]

LETS GOOOOO!!! Love both of your channels, super excited for this. gl;hf!

[@graysmallwood9321]

Damn same meal as austin daily, rice and beans is so easy to repeat

[@debdebberton]

can't wait for the Second Life ep

[@mexicanhalloween]

Austin needs to detail how one goes from baby carrots to full size carrots for those of us interested in attempting the same goal

[@hesseceja2830]

thank god ive been starved for content with both of you, such a good pair

[@RyanHaney55]

The movie Poltergeist scared me as a kid. I wish my parents hadn't let my 3-year-old self watch that.

[@sloaneyboo]

me too mem im extremely scared of my presence online 😭

[@sebzilla89]

Austin going full Marie Antoinette on the egg issue, damn

[@Sircrapalot7696]

Props for actually cutting to black and ending it immediately

[@k.a.u.4599]

Bro if i never had to clean my shower and/or tub again? Life changer

[@Friday_Monday]

Craziest thing about this whole ep is Mem not having heard about TempleOS

[@MurrayWilliams]

Carrots for breakfast … I immediately have a theory about why you hate eating.

[@Joubles]

I dont listen to podcasts but im going to tune into this every episode im so excited AAAAAAA

[@H2OBoB1]

cant wait for austin to customize his character

[@BicycleRow]

Absolutely love this podcast, keep it going guys! ❤❤❤ Glad I found this gem

[@ghostmailman]

i was so deeply excited to see this announcement!! i will be here for whatever you guys decide to talk about i feel like i'm learning every time this is school i'm being educated 🤓

[@EsronDtamar]

This is peak internet culture right here.

I think Sea of Thieves would also be a good game to find a spot to sit and record in

[@elizabethiverson802]

New favorite podcast alert let’s goooooooooo

[@nameitifyoucan]

About the movies with a similar esthetic as Neverending Story, Mem might like Return to Oz - the freakish sequel to the Wizard of Oz. I was also thinking about it because of the earlier conversation about messed up kids movies.

[@fpsfrisco8741]

@@nameitifyoucan OMG seconding Return to Oz!! Scared the fuck out of me as a kid but I was compelled to repeatedly watch it regardless. Also Dorothy + Ozma was lowkey a gay awakening for me as a tiny child and it brought me immense joy to discover they are queer coded in the books

[@nickjoseph77]

Omg I would have never guessed Austin is even 10 years older than Mem. I knew he seemed mature compared to me, and way too knowledgeable on the employment system for a 20 year old. Lol

[@crstph]

btw not sure if this was obvious, but hes not actually 20 years older than mem-i think it’s closer to 5 years lol

[@H4ZM4TT]

I work in dairy at the grocery store and I can’t stand when someone balls at the price of eggs and waits for me to react

[@dudekazoo]

I had to stay in a homeless shelter for a few months and I lowkey liked it because I got food three times a day with zero effort or thought on my part. Closest I have been to just eliminating eating as a chore.

[@TheNerdLemon]

"Crunk" the gamer energy drink.

[@nefariousyawn]

You're both in my top 35 favorite subscriptions, and I look forward to listening to you chat while I'm at work. Any_Austin should make a community post plugging this podcast, being the one with so many subscribers.

[@sirianmelley]

When I was a kid I saw some drama that was set in an office and at the Christmas party one of the characters went off to the toilet cubicle and had a heroin overdose. One of the other characters found him slumped (maybe dead?). Anyway for years I was terrified of finding someone overdosed behind the door to the toilet.

[@nickjoseph77]

The girl that popped in briefly for your podcast at the midpoint was amazing.

[@prawnfriend7394]

thrilled about the dark crystal shoutout. thra is my legal birthplace

[@lent1lb3an]

I'm very happy to see this! This might sound insane, but you two are both so good at rambling its almost a shame when the quality of your videos keeps the runtime low. Obv I wouldn't want you sacrificing quality for quantity so this is the perfect win-win.

Really feel the undereating because I just can’t be bothered

[@Kietastrophe]

I'll be that guy, The Orville is actually so good

[@SaltyBeaver-db4hh]

49:13 I got a DVD from the public library: a French black & white film noir, called Le Yeux Sans Visage ("eyes without a face"), and it had a bonus feature ("blood of the beast"), which was a real, uncensored look inside slaughter houses - actual live animals being put down and processed. The look of fear on the face of a calf, when it saw what was happening to the others, before it was bled out in turn, scarred my young city-boy mind, and turned me vegetarian. I still remember it clearly, about 20 years later. Based on saying "Tofurkey" I'm guessing Mem is vegetarian btw 😊
