[@LoyalSage]

The placebo effect is an actual thing. Thinking you're not sick or have been cured can sometimes actually help. Similarly, the nocebo effect can make you sick when you think something will make you sick. However, I wonder if in this case there's also some confirmation bias because when you're not _that_ sick, you get better before you come to terms with being sick, so in hindsight you feel like you tricked yourself into getting better. But when you're really sick, you don't get better as quickly, so you come to terms with being sick, which makes it look like you get sick when you accept that you are sick, even though it's really the other way around.

If you are, for some reason, in Germany and you are really looking for an enjoyable Theme park experience, I really recommend you the "EuropaPark"!!

It is located in the south-west of Germany, really close the the border to France in a town called Rust ironically.

What Connor's saying about falling asleep and feeling like he hadn't missed anything in the movie, I relate to so much. I remember seeing the second Fantastic Beasts movie in theaters. I had been awake for a long time and saw the latest showing, so by about half way through the film, I just kept randomly passing out and waking up until basically the movie was over. I felt bad that I missed it so I looked up the summary on Wikipedia. I knew everything that had happened despite me not being conscious 50 percent of the time.

Doctor here, gastroenteritis actually refers to any inflammation of the stomach and intestines (literally: "gastro" = stomach; "enteric" = intestines; "-itis" = inflammation). The more common terms "stomach flu" and "food poisoning" would differ in what exactly causes the disease: stomach flu being caused by viruses while food poisoning by bacteria. Both of these can result in the irritation and subsequent inflammation of your digestive tract, hence gastroenteritis can actually refer to both stomach flu and food poisoning. So yes, "food poisoning" is also considered a disease! (Sorry Connor)

I went to some museums and what I enjoy most of them it's seeing this beautiful piece of art it's thinking what was going through this artist when he made that, and obviously if you study art in any way you can appreciate the technique and how difficult some pieces are, but in general I feel that seeing old items, images, etc... from the past helps us to have a better picture of what it was like before we where born.

A good history teacher helps people develop that curiosity, and it sounds like you're doing that.

Another thing we did in school was the ‘evacuee experience’ where we all dressed up in clothes from the 1930s and spent a day being a WW2 evacuee.

It's only really worth visiting the touristy spots if you know a bit about them going in, imo. The crowds, costs, and waits put enough of a damper on the experience that going in blind can be a recipe for disappointment.

the amount of comfort i get seeing 2 brits and an aussie every saturday is beyond comprehension. why the fuck am i looking forward to japanese joe rogan shows and why is it so good i dont get it like why

[@MrInduetime]

I think Joey is describing St Peters basilica. I recently visited Rome and while the Sixtine chapel is fine (the vatican museum is cool as fuck though), St Peters cathedral is overwhelming. It is truly a place that can leave you speachless (even as an atheist). So I think he might have gotten them mixed up (or I'm wrong and Joey really loves Michelangelo). Also, the colloseum is really cool if your interested in history. Yeah you've seen it a bunch of times and there are more impressive buildings, but you can really feel the presence of history when you visit.

Would love to have you boys visit Vancouver Canada, we even have a huge cycling culture for you guys do an IRL stream and lots of great local food and craft beers

The orange and cloves is definitely christmas, here in Norway it's actually used as an advent calendar in the past too, 24 cloves, remove one clove each day until the 24th, which is when we celebrate in Norway.

Yeah, gastroenteritis itself won't kill you. But if you keep vomiting and pissing out your butt you rapidly lose water, and if the nausea is so strong that you throw up from drinking water you might die from dehydration. xD They gave me an IV in the emergency room when I got the bug and I was hospitalized. I also got the stomach ulcers (gastritis) that Joey mentioned. Not a fun time at all. Lol.

[@hamtaru]

the only guided tour i've ever liked was a guy in dracula's castle that pretended to be a vampire and had no faith in god

[@solmae]

I am glad, Connor have a fun time in the West Coast of Canada. I love Whistler and Van City alot. Edit: The boys talking about Museum/Art Galleries and I am like "Damn my career is being called out."

[@strangevision99]

I've only ever heard it called Gastroenteritis too, I've had it twice in my life. 8 days is an unusually long time though, maybe he wasn't treating it from the get go, if it was new to him. The treatment is rehydration powder mixed into water, because with the constant puking and arse water, you dehydrate really quickly. It's so horrible that I've got a few packets on standby in case I get it again. I also got ill on Christmas Eve and I've yet to recover. Luckily it's just a cold and not as bad as what Joey had.

[@ronzacharias5497]

love that Canada got a solid 10 minutes of exposure from Connor this episode

Getting older when you've been to something so many times that you can map out how your day is gonna go that's when you know that it just doesn't bring that same level of excitement as it used to but you don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Like with conventions, I honestly can only stand to be inside a convention hall for maybe 5 hours tops, maybe 6 if I'm in a panel or something like that. But when I was younger I wanted to spend the entire day in there even though I went to everything it had available for my age group. But there's a benefit to having a hotel room to go back to in order to unwind, recharge, and figure out what you're doing next. Because if you have a room to go back to at the end of your day inside the convention hall then you have a moment to decompress from being in that environment that really drains your social battery. Talking to vendors about having a low social battery at the end of your day there and hearing how they're on the same wavelength but they have to stay for the full day makes me appreciate their hard work.

Avatar 2 was a great movie in the 3D IMAX experience. My family and I enjoyed it, it was so gorgeous to watch and even though it was a bit long, I didn’t mind. It’s similar to how long the LoTR movies are where you appreciate the info and details into their universe. Also, in the US I saw a lot of promotions and advertisements for this movie. Everyone in my group of friends was talking about it and people are still watching it. I’m going to see it again now that the crowds have died down 😂

As far as the great wall goes There are restored sections for tourists purposes which are the most packed And then there are probably some sections for preservation And then there are sections that are not really preserved which is most of it, those sections are not really opened up to the public but if you find a way to go there or find a guide who will guide you there safely then no one is gonna stop you From youtube videos some of those parts of the wall seem to be really overgrown and the most fun to hike on, but it is recommended to go with a guide because it's not exactly a normal hike trail that you can go off of anywhere you want As far as the history goes the wall wasn't built entirely as one continuous wall, it was built up over millenia now by various dynasties and states. some of the earliest efforts to build a continuous wall were by the first emperor over Qin Shi Huang (fate fans) 2000 years ago, by then there were already many walls built so it was more about connecting the different parts than about building a giant one from scratch (although there still was a lot of building). And today the newest and most famous parts of the wall that are opened up to the public were built by the Ming dynasty over like 600 years ago. If you go far enough you can really see how the building processes, architecture and the materials changed over the 2000 years depending on how old the section of the wall is and who built it (some of the oldest were actually built using mud).

[@maeluri]

I didn’t see Avatar 2 yet, but I think 48 frames can make sense since it’s underwater. The animation and water simulation look probably smoother and fluid like to fit the underwater environnement.

Basically, try flipping between 30 and 60 fps every 10 seconds.. that's avatar 2

"doing your own thing" in a city you don't know is nice if you have the time and don't care about seeing or learning anything but a general vibe of the place

Connor entertains so much crap that Joey talks, especially that first part about stomach flu 😂

[@AliasZiro]

What crap?

@@AliasZiro referring to a stomach bug as gastroenteritis to make it sound more serious than it actually is lol

I have just noticed, that the trash taste tune is playing during the entire podcast in the background. I had to really go the the previous ones to make sure this is not the first time they have done this xd

To be honest, poutine quality is directly proportional to distance from Quebec, and believe me it falls off *very* quickly. Even Toronto poutine is mid at best.

[@speedlemon]

Yoooooo. I'm a massive Meow Wolf fan, really cool seeing the boys talk about it.

[@Tomahawk4948]

As a Canadian myself, Connor dissing poutine like that is the most offended I've been in a while.

[@cheesegorelove]

They'd need to have one in Quebec to really gauge if they'd like it or not.

[@ThaiMan1990]

In Melbourne, Australia we went to an old Gold mine called 'Sovereign Hill' in primary school. The kids truly yearn for the mines

[@MrAxelDietrich]

Connor's Avatar take is the same as mine. It's a good movie, the CGI is really great, but it's just too fucking long. I bet he fell asleep after they moved to the island. That's the part that drags on the most. That learning to adapt to the island life part really feels like Cameron wants to show off his tech as long as possible.

[@Nickxis]

bruh, that was the best part

[@eerielakeerie]

i keep saying that it feels like almost every scene could have been half as long and nothing about it would have really changed.

Love Connors Patagonia fleece. Man has finally acquired drip even if for a while.
