Ep. 191 Premium - the boys take the brain rot quiz [AUDIO]

I know this is an old episode but beanos is absolutely dead. That was a meme when I was in 7th grade 8 years ago

Stuff comes from stuff now nobody cares about the original instance of some joke or meme it’s crazy they struggle to understand this concept

people saying beanos is older but the oy oy oy audio too is like from 2020 when everyone was making those over-acted lipsync videos so hearing it here was crazy

Was the Beanos song not Reggie Couz?

Bro why did u guys go so hard in the end aren’t u supposed to be a comedy podcast 😂

Slime is beast because he has the capability to go deep into Mystical and abstract ideas but stays grounded. I woulda kept saying a bunch of random shit to my friends tryna explain. Instead he remembers that perspective matters and he roasts Aiden for his lol so good 10/10

I read that McCloud book in a comics class I took in university actually such a great reference

my goats are not tapped in 🥀

Is it just me or is every Patreon episode really quiet. It’s like an ASMR experience I don’t want. The YouTube episodes are fine but when I listen to the premium I have to use turtle beaches or something to hear them

I'm 23, and I agree with Aiden. Many people my age and younger are helpless and borderline nonfunctional, and I've seen none of this supposed emotional intelligence Nick is talking about. I know *many* people age 17-25 that are completely socially incompetent, financially incompetent, mentally incompetent, and just all around incompetent. Knowing what Skibidi Ohio means isn't a fucking skill.

as an european gen z that's not on tiktok at all, this felt like a fever dream

Never thought id see the day where I disagree so strongly with Nick and agree completely with Aimen. It doesn't really matter that the kids are more in tune with culture, when it comes with the massive downsides Aiden mentioned (plus more he didn't mention).

i'm a late-20s math teacher for high schoolers. i use tiktok pretty frequently myself so im pretty familiar when my students reference all the different jokes, and I'll call them out when they say some of the actually inappropriate stuff ("gyat", "yes king", etc.). It's pretty acutely damaging to my class population because I have mostly kids that are diagnosed on the spectrum or have some form of ADHD. One thing i've noticed is that when I do demand students put their phones away they get extremely defensive, almost like drug addicts. I hold the social media companies responsible for that; they have created an infinite stream of algorithmically distributed dopamine available to kids at any given moment. I also think parents have no fucking clue what they are letting their kids into when they allow them to use their phone unsupervised. I'm with Nick; kids need to have their phones taken from them in order for them to actually focus and build some knowledge. Also wanted to mention "packet yo" guy--I know he was just a troubled kid when he said that stuff, and I'm sure his classroom environment was probably excruciating and mind-numbing, but god damn, that toxic, anti-intellectual mentality has trickled down to kids today. Kids (and I know their parents are responsible for this) do not value education in the same way me and my friends did when I was their age. I am not making a data-driven argument here; I am sure my viewpoint is filled with bias and blind spots, but I am so worried about contemporary high school kids being manipulated by corporations and evil political forces when they become adults. They will be so willing to find the easiest, most comfortable narrative to latch on to when shit hits the fan (as if it hasn't already) that they will be primed to forget about climate change or blame minorities for all their problems.

Nick don’t cut off Aidan for one episode challenge: difficulty impossible

i binked oi oi oi audio only

There’s a guy in my local smash scene that met the squidward voice actor at his highschool and got him to say “what the sigma”

Hearing rucka rucka Ali in the year of 2025 gave me Vietnam flashbacks and now I need a cigarette

Wow my goats are washed… I was actually suprised how little of brain rot they knew

ts 🥀🥀

Cried laughing as the boys went on their beanos discovery journey. Might be a top 10 primo moment

These bruzz don’t know about chuzz 😢

Dude beanos has been around foreverrrr

CRAZY hearing slime cite Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud after an AI brainrot quiz. also aimen is getting to a good point about younger generations' consumption of media, but the issue is more likely about the proliferation of "new culture" that discourages criticality, context, and nuance, or a historical and informed understanding of concepts. brainrot memes are whatever, but when it comes to the exercise of critical thinking and the relationship of receiving information to the systems that propagate mis/disinformation or harmful ideas, developing minds who aren't given the opportunity to exercise criticality are left with endless slop that they aren't equipped to challenge/trouble. basically, it's not kids' fault for being drip-fed the most algorithmically-boosted garbage content; it's a larger issue about the profit interests of churning harmful slop, and kids are at the forefront of consuming it the quickest, which leads to the degradation of their opportunities to genuinely learn fruitful things beyond 60-second windows. these are all generalizations, there's a bigger socioeconomic issue at hand, discussions about culture and consumption are merely symptoms (ie. superstructure), etc etc. fight me in the yard premo comments section about class analysis, hegemony, dialectical materialism or whatever

Aiden hating the kids makes him the coolest most tapped in yard member i hate to say it

On todays episode of the Patreon - The Unction?

It’s insane to hear beanos in year of our lord 2025, it’s not ai, it came out when I was in 6th grade, I’m 19 now

New premo here, when does the video version usually release?

Hearing the name rucka rucka Ali put me into the mindscape

it’s no longer organic. new trends aren’t born from the resistance of corporations—like from the youth counterpublics of the 60s-00s. they are born out of submission to the wealthiest media companies in the history of the world. zines vs the internet.

Aiden is a BALD OLD boy and he carries his arguments like he is right when he is just uneducated "im least tapped in" then dies on the" young ppl are dumb" hill FOREHEAD IDIOT

I work at an elementary school and I really don’t think you guys are giving these kids enough credit. They are growing up during a really stressful time in a rapidly changing environment both on and off line. Despite that, they are still all very passionate, driven, curious, and most importantly funny. I run the student news and during one of our recent recordings as I was explaining some of the rules when one of the kids whispered to his friend “Yapper is yapping” and that shit had me cracking up. Also some of those kids can read out loud way better than I ever could at their age. So what I’m trying to say here is that the kids are going to be just fine and that my huzz Amen needs to get out of Ohio cuz that chopped ass state got him turning into a jittleyang when I know deep down he’s got the rizz to be the fuhulatoogan he was before he turned unc.

Aiden pissin me off with his take against slime abt the emoji face bein miraculous bc Slime was 100 when he said "it's only sensical to you bc your human"

I’m disappointed I got all of these right

nick snapped on what the sigma ngl😭

CP mentioned 🗣️🗣️

I cooked on this quiz, from the huzz on I was just locked tf in

This was a great episode ❤️

I listened to this yesterday and all day I have been repeating “that’s the chuzz” to myself

Pumped my fist and shouted out loud in my car when I got 19$ Fortnite Card right

I can’t believe they had cp on the podcast

When lud is gone, yall go from crass to philosophers. I think yall 3 could make your own podcast without lud and it would be different from the yard

as a highschool teacher, the norm isn’t as different because 4 freshman watched a like one hour vine compilation and were laughing their asses off.

Is it the new wave nuanced comedy or is it going back to caveman laugh at rock smash loud noise funny now Or is it always the same

I find it funny that they liked Beanos when that memes been around forever. I remember matching with my (ex) gf on tinder and her profile was legit just Beanos and that was 5.5 years ago

Ok I’m actually kinda surprised they didn’t know like any of the recent brain rot

Aiden lives life through shit tinted glasses 😂

did slime do the quiz on stream I really wanna see that lmao

Beanos is from like 2019 so that one must’ve just gone over heads

you guys should have Caleb hearon on

I hope to see more nuanced back and forths from you boys, favorite premo in months. Love seeing you guys get serious.

listening to this as a tapped in 20 year old was an experience

obsessed with beanos now so thank you

scott mccloud is the goat whether or not you have ever read a comic or have an interest in art I recommend it

Loved the Caleb Pitts short cameo, when are we getting CP on the pod again?

Okay unc

The yard premo, where you learn about chopped huzz and then analyse the evolution of language and culture from generation to generation.

Aiden is right at the end im 27 and bald

The kids are so cooked they are inventing 8000 new ways to describe and articulate it, it’s honestly beautiful. They’re going to be the most fucked up, experimental artists of all time

Nick is so tapped out man he said the 19 dollar Fortnite card was the wrong video before it could play fully

This premo is all huzz no chop

I’m a 25yr blue collar bearded man currently listening to this pod on a job installing drywall. I scored 100%.

Me and my friend who listen to the yard started just randomly saying "I'll kill you man I'll fucking kill you". It's gotten to the point that my girlfriend that has never watched the yard will randomly come up to us and whisper I'll kill you man. Thank you slime for corrupting our brains

twas rough when nick didnt know huzz thats level one bluds ancient

This is so fucking hilarious oh my god

Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub (I'm the Scatman) Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub
