The fact that the pod watcher with the longest runtime is when it's just Ryan and Shane talking to each other with no third to keep them on track makes all the sense in the world.
Nipple story: my male friend was petting my male cat and felt his belly. My friend goes," why does your cat have nipples?" And I replied, "why do you have nipples?"
Ryan and Shane have such a good, effortless rapport. I could sincerely listen to them go off on rabbit trails about anything. Shout out to all the friends in the world who are this easy and fun to chill with 🧡
To further answer Ryans question about nipples: human fetuses will by default develop with female anatomy unless androgens are introduced during development. The production of androgens are stimulated by the presence of a Y chromosome. So because of this there are a lot of tissues that develop before sexual differentiation. Like the tissues that form into ovaries also form into the testicles. Same for the penis and labia minora. Nipples simply don't have another form to differentiate into so they remain underdeveloped in most males after puberty as the estrogen levels are not raised. If you were to supplement hormones you could also induce breast development lactation in males.
@@ImekaSF It's honestly gotten to the point where I wonder if all the jokes he makes about Shane being an alien is to throw off suspicion from himself.
man, they're both such green flag husbands and bring up sarah/mari unpromptedly ALL THE DAMN TIME, never getting over them 😭 also this ep is giving such an ear biscuits w/ rhett and link kinda vibe and im here for it
Shane has a point - it's often rude at wine tastings to say what people should be tasting before they even take a sip and think about it for themselves because of the power of suggestion. Chances are you'll be able to taste what people tell you that you taste.
That's the second time Ryan has gone off about his amazement of the homemade chocolate chip cookies. It's hard to mess up and every recipe is just a variation of good- as long as you don't burn them. 😂
the informal top 5 cookie beatdown conversation really brought me back to a comment they made about the Russian sleep experiment where they said everyone around them would be going nuts with sleep deprivation and they would just be like: "I thought the third act of Tenet was pretty weak". I see this now
When Ryan was talking about what “food” he’s a connoisseur of I almost screamed at my scream “root beer!” Because he had that phase or something were he drank like a ton of root beer
The story of Ryan over salting the food while setting cheesy bread on fire made me laugh so hard. If someone I were dating did that id probably propose because thats hilarious. Every meal would be an adventure. 😂😂
As someone who spent years painstakingly learning scat breaks in a jazz quintet I am deeply hurt and offended. But also I have listened to “the land of ooh blah Dee” 12+ times today and sent it to everyone I know.
I don't think of myself as a podcast person generally... But Ryan throwing out James Newton Howard and Shane immediately knowing it was going to be the Signs soundtrack? These are my people.
Me and my best mate once had a massive play argument about what dr pepper tasted like - i said cherry and she said almond. We even got her dad involved who was just happy to be along for the vibes lol. Turns out theres 50 odd flavours and cherry/almond are the 2 biggest.
I so agree about the sense of play being lost among adults. One of my best memories was playing alligator at the playground with friends at night. It was just pure joy, but life gets in the way.
Fun nipple fact. I have a couple of trans friends who decided not to have them put back on during top surgery. Just smooooooth nothing up there. Once you get used to the look, it actually does make more visual sense than a flat chest with little boob hats
I had a bilateral mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction last year and don't have nipples now. Didn't qualify for nipple-sparing because of a couple factors (namely original breast size). So I am smooth like a Barbie doll - minus my giant scars.
Also makes for a nice flat surface if you ever wanna get a giant chest tattoo I’d imagine. The idea of the tattoo artist tattooing over my nipple always made me cringe away from getting something that covers up my whole chest like that so
35:22 regarding the dodgeball topic: as a former camp counselor, i can tell you there are so many variations of dodgeball and they’re all genuinely so fun
I have listened to the boys talking about popcorn for years. And I love it every time. I feel the same way about popcorn. 🍿 I can definitely taste the difference I. Good and bad popcorn. And fresh and from a movie theater is the best of all. Hands down. While I was pregnant, I had my husband stop at our favorite theater and get me movie popcorn.. more than once 😂
shane coming in strong with some extremely solid opinions in this episode. OG Oreos having the perfect ratio (and double stuf being garbage), frozen Thin Mints, single In N Out cheeseburger being better than a Double Double -- man knows what he's talking about and goddamn it I respect him
this is exactly how my homies and i all hangout. talking down rabbit holes, forgetting what our first point was, and just keeping with the momentum and flow of the conversation. love you guys so much
Ryan asking if there's skill to scatting hurts my heart lmfaooo I've been a jazz musician since I was 13 and scatting is definitely something that takes a lot of practice, especially with how weird some of the keys can get in comparison to classical music😭
I worked for a summer camp in Portland and every summer my co workers and I would play capture the flag at our community center park from the moment it got dark to like 1am! Those were the best summers of my life just being a kid again with some of the best people I ever met!
shane madej is probably the only person who could make a job at taylor swift (and i know he meant it as more of a joke than an insult) and i won't immediately stop consuming the content they make
Bats absolutely enhance the viewing experience for any movie. When I was four years old my dad showed me Empire Strikes Back for the first time. We got to the scene with the Mynocks in the asteroid worm’s gullet and somehow, some way, a bat decided that it was the perfect time to reveal that it had somehow made its way into the house. I thought there was a Mynock in the house and to this day ESB is my least favorite Star Wars film 😂😂😂
This episode was so funny. I was laughing out loud at so many parts. The chaffing story, the bat story, Ryan referring to the sex scenes in Napoleon as jump scares killed me, because it was so accurate.
I'm in a period of my life where my pallette craves lemon often. I keep lemonade on hand, I love fresh squeezed lemon juice on pastas, pizza, etc and lemon desserts are 🤤 Definitely noticing a tastebud change as I get older but lemons I've been obsessed with forever
Oh man how does ratio matter! I don't understand double patty burgers at all but I have to recognize I'm not the target audience. I know a few guys that'll order a double but no fries etc or they're someone who does a lot of physical work/labor so they need the protein or just like them.
If I had a nickel for every podcast I've watched that has brought up Kyle XY, I would only have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
In kindergarten my friend jumped off a swing when it was super high in the air and the metal chain caught on her ear during the jump and it almost pulled her whole ear off and an ambulance drove her off to stitch it up. That’s what I thought of at 37:17 when yall talked abt swing sets omfgg
Try freezing homemade Tollhouse cookies and dunking into a cold glass of milk! My grandma used to freeze her cookies, and the texture brings me back. Ditto for freezing homemade plain doughnuts and dipping them in coffee.
coke was made before refrigerators so its flavor profile is meant to be drank warm, and pepsi was made to be drank cold which is why they taste just slightly different and people who tend to drink their sodas warmer/colder prefer one or the other
The way I lost it when I heard you say the sitdown that was my favorite Italian place. They had handmade pasta and you could bring your own bottle of wine. I love this place.
Watching now on my TV! If you guys come to Central PA, they have a dippin dots stand in Hershey Park by the Great Bear coaster and I'm pretty sure they have mint chocolate chip. Also you can get them in a root beer as a float! So fucking good. I'm more of a banana split dots fan though lol
Listening to this on a heavily delayed train (12+ hours!) and it's the perfect level of chaotic energy. Train is Empire Builder, I was supposed to be asleep through Idaho...
The grad class of 2006 or 2007 at my high school tried to get I'm A Scatman as the grad song. They played it through the announcements. The parents shut it down. Sad times.
Okay I know im late because I watched this one way after it came out, but Watcher Staff, if you see this, please tell Shane to try dipping a chocolate pop tart in milk after you toast it. Superb.
I know Ryan is joking about Steven pulling numbers in Indiana but as a Hoosier I can confirm that people almost always know who Steven Lim is but only know Ryan and Shane about half the time
I'm pretty sure there's an episode of Half as Interesting or Wendover that talks about how Dippin Dots tech is responsible for the meat-like texture in Impossible Burgers and Beyond Burgers. You boys might be interested
My all time favorite cookie is the snowman cookie at Starbucks. I’ve worked at Starbucks the past five years, and ever holiday season when they come out, I have to force myself to not gorge myself on them 😂
Shane and Ryan, come on up to Washington State again!! It's a wonderland for Applemen like yourselves (particularly the Wenatchee area). Plus, lots of lighthouses!!!
The fact that the pod watcher with the longest runtime is when it's just Ryan and Shane talking to each other with no third to keep them on track makes all the sense in the world.
I much rather prefer their extended ramblings myself
@@Jeremy-yh8lv yeah! no structure just "chill"
My Monday is made 😊
Well that's cause stephen is mostly insufferable....
@@Thebogeybro100%
this podcast without a third guest is exactly like that part in food files where ryan ends up planking
Nipple story: my male friend was petting my male cat and felt his belly. My friend goes," why does your cat have nipples?" And I replied, "why do you have nipples?"
Genuinely though, why do males have nipples. Has natural selection not reached them yet?
And then you’re friend went “idk man, I think that’s sort of what I just asked”
big fan of how you started this with "Nipple Story:"
Ryan and Shane have such a good, effortless rapport. I could sincerely listen to them go off on rabbit trails about anything. Shout out to all the friends in the world who are this easy and fun to chill with 🧡
Shane’s trip to New York sounds like a Rom-Com in the first half and then a Saw movie to end
Lol! "It made a kind of slurry" 😂😂😂 so gross! Classic Shane.
LMFAO

Also more simply - evolution has no delete button. It's not worth trying to get rid of em on half of people
You can induce lactation in males with repetitive stimulation too - great fact to freak your guy friends out with.
Ryan licking his lips after saying “nipples” and making eye contact with the camera 30 seconds into the pod was definitely on my bingo card for 2024 😂
I can't believe Ryan's never heard Scatman before. It feels like such a pinnacle of internet culture.
Ryan being impressed by the chocolate chip cookies made from scratch is everything 😭
I am consistently amazed by the seemingly mundane things that man does not know, lol
@@ImekaSF It's honestly gotten to the point where I wonder if all the jokes he makes about Shane being an alien is to throw off suspicion from himself.
It's the second or third time he's bringing it up. Really very sweet lol😊
Would love to see Ryan go on Without a Recipe episode and see how chaotic he'll be 😂
OH MY GOD
DO NOT... let Ryan near kitchen appliances.
Please x10
YES
man, they're both such green flag husbands and bring up sarah/mari unpromptedly ALL THE DAMN TIME, never getting over them 😭

I wonder if Lazy Acres would offer Shane a platinum card with how much he mentions them 😂 (although we didn’t get an LA update this episode)
Hell yeah, I'm settlin' in for story time with The Boys, what a beautiful afternoon
I just had to pause and wheeze over the timing of "Nipples... why do guys have them?" 👌🏻
That's the second time Ryan has gone off about his amazement of the homemade chocolate chip cookies. It's hard to mess up and every recipe is just a variation of good- as long as you don't burn them. 😂

Watching these podcasts are better than meditation when it comes to soothing my anxiety. They’re so entertaining and relaxing!
When Ryan was talking about what “food” he’s a connoisseur of I almost screamed at my scream “root beer!” Because he had that phase or something were he drank like a ton of root beer
Shane's chafing story almost turned into Ross's leather pants disaster from Friends
I need Ryan and Shane to know how absolutely feral I go for an hour plus of the ghouls boys and co just chatting
Okay but when are we getting Mari's cookie recipe? This is like the second time they've brought this up and I gotta know how those cookies tasted
This is literally my favorite watcher series. I just listen to the episodes on repeat all day at work to get me through the day.
Nipples, Pepsi, Dippin’ Dots and Nose, Soap, Apple may be two of the greatest podcast episodes ever created‼️
I have very few friends with whom I’m as comfortable as you two are with each other, and it’s so cozy to just listen to you chat. This podcast rules.
i'm having the worst time currently so thanks for dropping the nipple ep guys, maybe ill make it thru after all :,)
32:25: "There you go, a picture of Kyle XY with nipples...I f*cking hate this show." Matt is so done with these two. 🤣
😂😂 i assumed he meant Kyle XY 🤣 it was really bad.
@@novalyn.shelby I think it could be interpreted either way, but I like to think he's just mad he's on Ryan and Shane babysitting duty all alone. 😂
I am so easily influenced, I have now made popcorn a regular snack because of this show
The story of Ryan over salting the food while setting cheesy bread on fire made me laugh so hard. If someone I were dating did that id probably propose because thats hilarious. Every meal would be an adventure. 😂😂

RYAN’S DONNIE THORNBERRY STRIKES AGAIN
I think I need a video of Mari blind taste testing different waters now and the boys doing apples
I so agree about the sense of play being lost among adults. One of my best memories was playing alligator at the playground with friends at night. It was just pure joy, but life gets in the way.
Haven't watched this yet, but wanted to say this is an iconic episode title
Ryan being baffled by making chocolate chip cookies from scratch is so funny to me
Please tell me Steven will be back for the next episode! I love hearing the the three of you talk and we rarely see Steven as it is :(
WE MISS YOU, STEVEN!!! 🎉
god im so glad this is back. ive missed them. just two (of the three) greatest minds of our time discussing all the most important things.
Fun nipple fact. I have a couple of trans friends who decided not to have them put back on during top surgery. Just smooooooth nothing up there. Once you get used to the look, it actually does make more visual sense than a flat chest with little boob hats
I never even knew it was an option before maybe last year? I love that you get the choice. 🥰
I had a bilateral mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction last year and don't have nipples now. Didn't qualify for nipple-sparing because of a couple factors (namely original breast size). So I am smooth like a Barbie doll - minus my giant scars.
If I had top surgery I'd go w that option because my nipples are so freaking sensitive sometimes it's painful.
Also makes for a nice flat surface if you ever wanna get a giant chest tattoo I’d imagine. The idea of the tattoo artist tattooing over my nipple always made me cringe away from getting something that covers up my whole chest like that so
35:22 regarding the dodgeball topic: as a former camp counselor, i can tell you there are so many variations of dodgeball and they’re all genuinely so fun
I have heard more about American food from Watcher than maybe any other media outlet ever
I do love just the normal chat between friends and the occasional plunge down rabbit holes.
I feel special that we got an ad-hoc top 5 beat down for cookies

And fresh and from a movie theater is the best of all. Hands down. While I was pregnant, I had my husband stop at our favorite theater and get me movie popcorn.. more than once 😂
Ryan and Shane are the kind of friends anyone would love to go on a road trip with--- the convo would flow and time would go by sooo fast.

I wasn't expecting to learn a new word in a razor ad but here I am, excited about using "obsolescence."

I watch these religiously I hope they never stop
Ryan confusing a mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber and a cryochamber made me laugh so hard
We used to get Dippin' Dots ice cream at a mall we went to when I was little. I loved the little melting beads. Delicious. 😋
shane madej is probably the only person who could make a job at taylor swift (and i know he meant it as more of a joke than an insult) and i won't immediately stop consuming the content they make
Sorta shocked that Ryan's lifetime card wasn't for Disneyland. Not tickets, just food.... still worth it if you ask me.
Happy New Year everyone 🌞
Hope all your dreams for 2024 come true!
if it would just be 8% less weird than 2023, I’d be really happy.

I doubt we will see a podcast this week because they probably promoted the website during it and they don’t wanna deal with the drama again
I'm living for the perfectly synchronized "all right!" 🤣
The try guys have been talking about starting a TH-cam kickball league for years! Y’all can make it happen!
Yes!!
This episode was so funny. I was laughing out loud at so many parts. The chaffing story, the bat story, Ryan referring to the sex scenes in Napoleon as jump scares killed me, because it was so accurate.
OMG it’s so nice to see and hear you guys again!
I need shanes review of the Lazy Acres Thin Mint knock off ASAP

That so incredibly unusual and unfortunate
The visual that this brought into my brain made me physically recoil
There’s a rare standalone Dippin Dots storefront like literally a mile away from where y’all did the escape room Ghost Files. Gotta go back.
"it was chaffin' my buds" throw that in the book of ryanisms
Shane would love those filled cookies, especially fresh and warm! They’re like little pies!
Try freezing homemade Tollhouse cookies and dunking into a cold glass of milk! My grandma used to freeze her cookies, and the texture brings me back.
Ditto for freezing homemade plain doughnuts and dipping them in coffee.
ryan pronouncing jacob collier like that is sending me to the moon 😂
A treat to look forward for later that evening!
As soon as shane said the word "slurry", my life ended
I just love to see some love for M Night. He’s so good.
“That one rat from Ratatouille” YOU MEAN REMI??? Put some respect on ma boys name😤🧑🍳
Yeah gotta be honest these two guys right here are the reason I watch. Love everyone else too.
This podcast is just good vibes
coke was made before refrigerators so its flavor profile is meant to be drank warm, and pepsi was made to be drank cold which is why they taste just slightly different and people who tend to drink their sodas warmer/colder prefer one or the other
I think its so funny that ryan’s wearing a purple hat like Chowder when talking about purple nurples 😂
i got my wisdom teeth out a couple days ago and hearing you guys talk about pop and burgers and cookies is going to make me cry
I would love it if Matt became the Miles of Pod Watcher, and the camera cut to his reactions once in a while lol
Yes! Love when he gets pulled into the convo...
The way I lost it when I heard you say the sitdown that was my favorite Italian place. They had handmade pasta and you could bring your own bottle of wine. I love this place.
I also am a terrible cook and bad with flavour profiles. So at least Ryan can be the relatable one in this episode.

I love this offsides all knowing voice that you two are always consulting...who is this guy that consults during the show!!??
It's Matt Real, he produces and edits the pod. He was also on one of the Puppet History episodes, I'm pretty sure it was the one about Pompeii 🥰
Listening to this on a heavily delayed train (12+ hours!) and it's the perfect level of chaotic energy.
Train is Empire Builder, I was supposed to be asleep through Idaho...
I'm almost done watching this an I just realized Shane is wearing Will Byers puffy vest from season one of Stranger Things

how funnt would it be to watch the watcher squadd play reccess sports
can we talk about the lemon/lime and vanilla vibe pls it’s so GOOD. everytime i hit a freestyle machine it’s sprite and vanilla baybeeeee
I'm pretty sure there's an episode of Half as Interesting or Wendover that talks about how Dippin Dots tech is responsible for the meat-like texture in Impossible Burgers and Beyond Burgers. You boys might be interested
Whoever is off camera I’m so sorry for not knowing your name yet but you have such a nice voice like wow it’s like velvet and 😅
Enjoyed listening to the boys ramble this week. Now I'm off to watch Pepsi, Where's My Jet?!
My all time favorite cookie is the snowman cookie at Starbucks. I’ve worked at Starbucks the past five years, and ever holiday season when they come out, I have to force myself to not gorge myself on them 😂
Shane and Ryan, come on up to Washington State again!! It's a wonderland for Applemen like yourselves (particularly the Wenatchee area). Plus, lots of lighthouses!!!
i just KNEW nipples was gonna be ryan’s topic 💀💀💀
