You know as someone who had leukaemia, there is merit to the “thinking it away” thing in the sense that staying positive and happy is really important when undergoing treatment . I used to consciously tell myself “I’ll be fine” a lot, and I think it helped me a lot during chemotherapy.
"I don't think Avatar 2 is doing well box office wise." As of upload, it has grossed over 1.7 billion dollars, putting it well in the top 10 highest grossing films of all time (No. 7).
The director has quoted that the movie needs to make 2 billion to be profitable. So yeah despite it seemingly preforming well it has to hit the 3-4 spot in order to actually be seen as successful.
@@NintendoBlurb that has already been disproven to be false by multiple sources and even the director himself. it only needed 1.4 to break even and its well past that. mind you we're only on the 5th week since release so there's still more time for it to make more money at the BO

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.
THIS. There have been research showing that, when patients are given empty pills and told that it's real medicine, they show a very similar decrease in symptoms to patients given actual medicine.

The "peasant experience" is a pretty cool way for kids to learn about life during that time. We have a tall ship in my city that kids stay on over night and learn about what life was like crossing the oceans in 18th century as a member of the crew. It was an experience that has stuck with me for years.
On the subject of guided tours, the worst one for me, was when I was a kid. There was a group trip during October for a corn maze. It was a guided tour. For a MAZE. Apparently parents complained about their kids getting lost, and instead of just parenting their kids, they blasted the company, and they were forced to make it a guided tour whenever large groups were there. 🙃
how did they manage to take the fun out of a maze😭 I mean they could have separated the kids into groups with leaders and staggered the time the groups enter and make it a race or something
I went to a small one (with parents required for kids under a certain age) where you went in with a flag on a pole and you could wave the flag to get help from the staff in getting out.
Listening to the boys talk about how easy and normal for them to just travel around the world makes me feel so freaking poor,like they went to all these places and dude,i sometimes can barely afford to go beyond area where i work lol
Its trash taste bro. We just here for the vibes. I only take them seriously for things they actually know about like Japan, youtubing, streaming, anime(lol).
With the Stomach flu thing in Australia everyone i know at least calls it gastro not stomach flu which is probs why joey didnt know to call it stomach flu

I watched Avatar 2 and there was a break halfway in the movie. When it continued playing, they forgot to add the movie audio and there was just Jingle Bells Rock playing in the background of that scene where the kid was vibing with the whale, it fitted perfectly
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.
I can feel Joeys pain, I got the flu on Christmas Eve morning, and I could not get out of bed, nor eat anything for 3 days straight. And I had to quarantine myself from my family the entire time😂.
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"!! As the name already suggests the regions inside the park are themed around European countries (no not every European country is represented) the rides are really nice, everything really nicely decorated, and the food in my opinion is actually good. It is located in the south-west of Germany, really close the the border to France in a town called Rust ironically.
It's really cool ! And some of the food is good but the restaurants with the good foods are usually packed around noon. But yeah, it's probably the best park in Europe. And the water park next to it is pretty nice too
Yo, i just went there this past summer and yeah, that place is so fun! Its a way different and more chill experience than an american theme park like disney, but its really well themed and decorated! A great day trip, especially if youre staying somewhere within an hour away like Basel or Mulhouse
Even though I don't live in Japan, me and some of my family were also struck with some sort of stomach flu on christmas... it lasted for me and my brother for 2 days, while my cousin had it bad for 5 or 6 days sick. It hurt so bad and you really couldn't keep any food or water in, since it always came back out lol I feel you Joey. Glad you're feeling better! :)
One of the biggest roles Sandler has been in somewhat recently was Uncut Gems. A great thriller that that doesn’t stop the tension till it’s over. Incredible film.
I'm surprised they didn't brought that movie back in this episode. When Calli came up the 1st time [and Chris I believe] they talked about Uncut Gems too
Yes. For the Great Wall, there are sections that haven’t been restored and not opened to general public. But you can hire local tour guide and climb up and even camp for the night on the wall and no one is there. There are videos on TH-cam you can check it out it’s pretty cool.
The moment Joey was talking about his experience in the Sistine Chapel made me laugh. When I went, the room was packed and there were two security guards saying "No video, no photo, silencio" over and over again. Meanwhile, there were a bunch of people not listening and you could really only see the ceiling cause you couldn't get close enough to the walls to really look at them. Not sure when he went, but it wasn't like that for me.
I was there like the day before the old pope died. I was in Pompeii the day he died though. And then the next day I left and went back home. So yeah I swear it wasn’t me who killed him…… (also like NO one was wearing masks uggghhhh)
hearing the bois talk about the holiday season is taking me for a loop since it's friday the 13th and i'm definitely feeling the mid-month burn here it's been a struggle with the job app grind 🤮hoping everyone else has had a better time welcoming in the new year!!
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)
My first elementary school's field trips were the GOAT, dude. Once we went to a musical play of Petite Rouge, a Cajun retelling of Red Riding Hood. Another time, we went to Lalooska, and got to hear Native American stories in a dark tent (tipi?? it's been many years), lit only by the fire in the center, while masked dancers played out the tales.
Aw man, I too was hospitalized over Christmas and New Years thanks to stomach problems. It's really no fun at all. Sorry to hear Joey went through that also :c
Same :/ i had bloody diarrhea and intense stomach cramps for like 3 days straight bc of ischemic colitis. Also got diagnosed positive for covid :/ was not a good time. I couldnt eat or drink anything for a week. Also couldnt shower so i felt disgusting
30:00 I thought I was going mad when I was watching Avatar 2 and seeing frame drops. I found out later that some scenes were shot in 24fps and others were shot in 48fps. You can really feel the difference when the film switches between these frame rates.
Idk Connor poutine has been a thing in Quebec since the 1950s, and what makes it poutine is the cheese curds as far as I can gather cheesy gravy fries can use w/e types of cheese and it seems to be commonly shredded cheese not cheese curds. Either way yummy fatty goodness.
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. And I agree a lot with Joey that it's all about how do the museum presents the pieces and the general atmosphere of the place. Of course we have that curiosity of seeing this iconic thing but there's many ways to make the experience better.
While I did not get sick, I slipped on ice and hurt my back. So I ended my year having trouble getting out of bed, and struggling to exist. So I can understand the pain, and props to anyone else who suffered physically, or otherwise at the end of last year/start of this one.
As a History teacher, they are totally right, it is wholly dependant on the way you teach it. Tip, if you involved it into a modern phenomenon can help at least show interest. Thanos hit it out of the park when I teach Malthusian theory. Also Civil War(movie) helped a lot when teaching International Relations theory.
I think outlook can help too though. If you approach a museum or a historical site like "ugh, this was a lot of money, this'd better entertain me" you're more often going to leave disappointed than if you come at it with an open mind and curiosity. A good history teacher helps people develop that curiosity, and it sounds like you're doing that.
The Netflix intro thing reminded me of when I had to deal with pretty severe depression. The amount of times I changed my mind about going outside while I was in the process of putting on my shoes was too much. Eventually I got into the habit of just wearing my shoes all day every day, just to reduce the amount of barriers I needed to overcome to actually go outside. That worked well for many years, until last year I got a fungal infection and I had to stop doing that
Crazy to see how far this stomach flu reached all over the globe so fast, I had the same thing Joey did around the exact same time (caught it from a co worker) and it’s no joke. I had a high fever and couldn’t eat or drink anything for a week because it would immediately just be expelled from my body, ended up having to go to the ER where they used an IV to keep fluids in me, it was intense. Hope everyone has been staying safe and washing hands, it’s been a rough season for getting sick!
I can’t lie but this new Avatar kinda blew my mind. Half way through the movie I just thought to myself “Wait, none of this is real” and kinda just sat there in awe for the rest of the run time
Same. It’s an amazing movie. I feel like Connor did NOT do it justice this podcast. But he’s pretty jaded about everything, so I’m not surprised. It’s a shockingly beautiful movie.
@@Tanwolly I can kinda relate to connor in some way, the Visual is a given that it is 11/10 but the story and the character building were a bit lacking. During the middle section transitioning to the end part, It actually made me had a thought " Uh it feels so slow and a bit too stretch out "
@@chanchaiken5522 i thought i was watching a nature documentary. Yeah script is nothing special but that world is so captivating that i really don't mind.
I had an endoscopy done yesterday and was blissfully asleep through the whole procedure. Fortunately, endoscopies and colonoscopies done under mild anaesthesia are pretty standard in Portugal these days, but 15 or more years ago, anaesthesia wasn't common and I heard a lot of horror stories.
1:45:00 one good thing my school did was for whatever reason, we had a whole group of historical actors come in to our school and play out a medieval battle in our school field and allowed us to fight each other with swords and stuff. Apparently a pretty major battle happened where I grew up so it was supposed to teach us about our local history but I just remember it being pretty cool and a nice interactive way of teaching us history. 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. We took an old steam train and learned about the war and rations and stuff which was really immersive and a good way of teaching kids about such events. So yeah, those were pretty cool.
i got sick for the 3rd time under the same week, and i had problems with my stomach aswell so you where not alone joey. but i´m glad that you are better. i still have some coughing left but other than that i´m much better. thanks guys for todays video today
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.
I am shocked that not only New Brunswick was brought up when they were speaking about the east coast of Canada, but that Connor has also been there. I thought they were just going to mention Montréal or god forbid Toronto. Feels good to get some representation :)
I remember having a blast in TeamLabs and I have no other forms of social (other than TH-cam, which I consider to be streaming). It’s hella enjoyable, even if you do decide to put down the phone. You have art exhibitions such as TeamLabs and Meow Wolf which although look great on photo, I’d argue they’re gems even outside of pictures.
I feel like Garnt went in with the wrong expectations as he keeps talking about the rooms as art pieces, when I think teamlabs is supposed to be more about the immersive experience for the senses rather than a gallery.
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.
When they talked about movies with fragmented timeliness, it reminded me of an old movie I watched called 11:14. That is fragmented into all these seemingly random stories in a town that all happen to converge and culminate at 11:14pm.
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 😂
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
Poutine started as a low wage working class Québécois meal to go. It wasn't made to appear fancy. In fact, we were ridiculed for it and some elderly Québécois to this day refuse to eat it because they remember the stigma around it. You gotta try poutine in Québec before making your mind on poutine. Most provinces don't even have fresh cheese curds which is a game changer.
16:00 about kaleidoscope, there's a book from an Argentinian Writer who did this many years ago. It's a book that you can read however you want, and you get a different experience depending on how do you read it. It's called Rayuela from Julio Cortazar and it's really good.
Joey, I feel your pain. In Spain we usually use the Greek terms for medical stuff, so when I moved to France, or even when I talk to people in English they look at me weird. Or when a doctor here tries to explain a diagnosis to me and I go "... oh, so you mean [random Greek words]" *confused French Doctor* "yes... that... that's correct actually".
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.
Worldwide, people have more access to technology than anesthesia services. I did a quick search on number of anesthesiologists in Japan and it seems like, similar to a lot of countries, there is a shortage of anesthesia providers there which may explain why some procedures are done without an anesthesiology services.
1:01:00 Reminds me of a german urologist joke. The doctor asks the patient if he can fell his thumb. When the patient answers yes the doc says good i still have two left
Joey is so sweet in this episode, I feel like garnt and connor's attitude changed a bit these past episodes but joey is still his enthusiastic and curious self.
The High Frame Rate in Avatar 2 was limited only to the 3D version of the film based on some reporting I saw. I for sure noticed it looked like a video game during underwater action scenes. My brain was preparing to hit some quick time event prompts. So if you didn't see it in 3D, there was nothing to notice.
We used to go to Disneyland (Anaheim, CA) every few years. We'd get our trip through Costco Wholesale. The package came with a theme dinner at the restaurant with Disney characters. We had to make reservations ahead of time. Still felt cool, but mostly we looked forward to our reservation at the Blue Bayou restaurant in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. That was much more exciting!
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.
I do have mental stress allergies. Skin rash pops out, and sometimes it comes with diarhea. It happens when I know I'm poorly prepared or mentally not ready for an upcoming thing that I have to do. So some random shit in our body is just a mental thing.
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.
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).
Being a tourist is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing in the sense it allows you to roam a country hastle free, but a curse in the sense you're doomed to visit touristy places if you're with family lmao
@@Invictus-Solaris just me, but I wanna see other smaller places instead of something I see all the time on TV. Like in America I rather visit smaller towns than somewhere like LA.
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. Some of the tours and exhibits do a good enough job that you don't need it, but it's just a reality that not all of these places are up to that standard, especially accounting for different learning styles. But if you know a bit about what you're looking for and interested in going in, it's easier to find things to like.
The thing is if you feel your throat getting bad, like aching/scratching, that is indeed a signal that it's going to get inflamated, and you can reduce by a lot, or even prevent it if you drink enough liquid that helps with it, just drinking a lot of water and trying to wash it, it will help a lot, but there are other things that can pretty much heal on the go, like rice soup...
On the Great Wall's length: for some perspective, Australia is around 4000km wide. The Great Wall is over five times longer than the width of Australia from east to west.
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.
I'm 100% convinced that if Avatar was an anime with the same world building like in the second movie, the weebs would go crazy over it and hail it as the new masterpiece of this generation.
"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

Similarly, the nocebo effect can make you sick when you think something will make you sick.

I can feel Joeys pain, I got the flu on Christmas Eve morning, and I could not get out of bed, nor eat anything for 3 days straight. And I had to quarantine myself from my family the entire time😂.
Been there, but its whenever pressure fronts come in. So solid foods ~3 days a week, most weeks, and the rest has to be liquid. Feel your pain
1:33:38 Garnt almost did a double take when joey said his cousin goes to disneyland every week
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"!! As the name already suggests the regions inside the park are themed around European countries (no not every European country is represented) the rides are really nice, everything really nicely decorated, and the food in my opinion is actually good. It is located in the south-west of Germany, really close the the border to France in a town called Rust ironically.
It's really cool ! And some of the food is good but the restaurants with the good foods are usually packed around noon. But yeah, it's probably the best park in Europe. And the water park next to it is pretty nice too
Yo, i just went there this past summer and yeah, that place is so fun! Its a way different and more chill experience than an american theme park like disney, but its really well themed and decorated! A great day trip, especially if youre staying somewhere within an hour away like Basel or Mulhouse
LMAO... Didn't Emily believe that Connor liked the banana fish café?
The betrayal
Even though I don't live in Japan, me and some of my family were also struck with some sort of stomach flu on christmas... it lasted for me and my brother for 2 days, while my cousin had it bad for 5 or 6 days sick. It hurt so bad and you really couldn't keep any food or water in, since it always came back out lol I feel you Joey. Glad you're feeling better! :)
Same, I was out for 4-5 days. It's been circulating in my area for like a month.
same here wtf????
the pain started on the 1st, and lasted until the 8th
Me too. Are you guys jabbed?
uy
Connor "Food is my only joy in life"
I feel that.
One of the biggest roles Sandler has been in somewhat recently was Uncut Gems. A great thriller that that doesn’t stop the tension till it’s over. Incredible film.
Wasn't uncut gems 3 years ago?
He recently did a movie called hustle on Netflix and it’s really good
I'm surprised they didn't brought that movie back in this episode.
When Calli came up the 1st time [and Chris I believe] they talked about Uncut Gems too

@@norriatto3303 I'd say 3 years is somewhat recent
Yes. For the Great Wall, there are sections that haven’t been restored and not opened to general public. But you can hire local tour guide and climb up and even camp for the night on the wall and no one is there. There are videos on TH-cam you can check it out it’s pretty cool.
I'm still and forever will be salty about Netflix cancelling 1899. One of the most promising shows of all time for me honestly.
Such a tragedy.
I got my heart broken in the time between this ep and the last so it's nice to finally have some noise to feel less alone.
Joey's such an aussie, the boys wearing jackets and he's wearing short sleeves
The moment Joey was talking about his experience in the Sistine Chapel made me laugh. When I went, the room was packed and there were two security guards saying "No video, no photo, silencio" over and over again. Meanwhile, there were a bunch of people not listening and you could really only see the ceiling cause you couldn't get close enough to the walls to really look at them. Not sure when he went, but it wasn't like that for me.
I was there like the day before the old pope died. I was in Pompeii the day he died though. And then the next day I left and went back home. So yeah I swear it wasn’t me who killed him…… (also like NO one was wearing masks uggghhhh)
hearing the bois talk about the holiday season is taking me for a loop since it's friday the 13th and i'm definitely feeling the mid-month burn here it's been a struggle with the job app grind 🤮hoping everyone else has had a better time welcoming in the new year!!
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)
How to know it really is a new year of TT Connor has unlocked a new clothing item.
My first elementary school's field trips were the GOAT, dude. Once we went to a musical play of Petite Rouge, a Cajun retelling of Red Riding Hood. Another time, we went to Lalooska, and got to hear Native American stories in a dark tent (tipi?? it's been many years), lit only by the fire in the center, while masked dancers played out the tales.
Aw man, I too was hospitalized over Christmas and New Years thanks to stomach problems. It's really no fun at all. Sorry to hear Joey went through that also :c
Same :/ i had bloody diarrhea and intense stomach cramps for like 3 days straight bc of ischemic colitis. Also got diagnosed positive for covid :/ was not a good time. I couldnt eat or drink anything for a week. Also couldnt shower so i felt disgusting
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse cool
as a asian canadian in vancouver it feels surreal but really cool to hear Connor talk about us
I was so shocked when Connor said he’s been to New Brunswick. It’s the most forgotten province of Canada and I never heard a foreigner mention it. 😮
Yes! He went to the Animaritime convention in Fredericton some years ago.
30:00 I thought I was going mad when I was watching Avatar 2 and seeing frame drops. I found out later that some scenes were shot in 24fps and others were shot in 48fps. You can really feel the difference when the film switches between these frame rates.
10:11 Garnt reverse-gaslighting Sidney. Convincing her that she is actually healthy, not sick. xD
No reverse needed
Idk Connor poutine has been a thing in Quebec since the 1950s, and what makes it poutine is the cheese curds as far as I can gather cheesy gravy fries can use w/e types of cheese and it seems to be commonly shredded cheese not cheese curds. Either way yummy fatty goodness.
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.
And I agree a lot with Joey that it's all about how do the museum presents the pieces and the general atmosphere of the place. Of course we have that curiosity of seeing this iconic thing but there's many ways to make the experience better.
While I did not get sick, I slipped on ice and hurt my back. So I ended my year having trouble getting out of bed, and struggling to exist. So I can understand the pain, and props to anyone else who suffered physically, or otherwise at the end of last year/start of this one.
As a History teacher, they are totally right, it is wholly dependant on the way you teach it. Tip, if you involved it into a modern phenomenon can help at least show interest. Thanos hit it out of the park when I teach Malthusian theory.
Also Civil War(movie) helped a lot when teaching International Relations theory.
I think outlook can help too though. If you approach a museum or a historical site like "ugh, this was a lot of money, this'd better entertain me" you're more often going to leave disappointed than if you come at it with an open mind and curiosity. A good history teacher helps people develop that curiosity, and it sounds like you're doing that.
The Netflix intro thing reminded me of when I had to deal with pretty severe depression. The amount of times I changed my mind about going outside while I was in the process of putting on my shoes was too much. Eventually I got into the habit of just wearing my shoes all day every day, just to reduce the amount of barriers I needed to overcome to actually go outside. That worked well for many years, until last year I got a fungal infection and I had to stop doing that
Crazy to see how far this stomach flu reached all over the globe so fast, I had the same thing Joey did around the exact same time (caught it from a co worker) and it’s no joke. I had a high fever and couldn’t eat or drink anything for a week because it would immediately just be expelled from my body, ended up having to go to the ER where they used an IV to keep fluids in me, it was intense. Hope everyone has been staying safe and washing hands, it’s been a rough season for getting sick!
"Have you ever been to a theme park with a theme park obsessed person?"- *Connor having flashbacks to going to Disneyland in VR with Mouse*
I can’t lie but this new Avatar kinda blew my mind. Half way through the movie I just thought to myself “Wait, none of this is real” and kinda just sat there in awe for the rest of the run time
Same. It’s an amazing movie. I feel like Connor did NOT do it justice this podcast. But he’s pretty jaded about everything, so I’m not surprised. It’s a shockingly beautiful movie.
@@Tanwolly I can kinda relate to connor in some way, the Visual is a given that it is 11/10 but the story and the character building were a bit lacking.
During the middle section transitioning to the end part, It actually made me had a thought " Uh it feels so slow and a bit too stretch out "
Same, I forgot it was CGI so many times.
It was just insane.
I knooooow. I was glued to the screen when I was watching it. Even during the slow bit.
@@chanchaiken5522 i thought i was watching a nature documentary. Yeah script is nothing special but that world is so captivating that i really don't mind.
I had an endoscopy done yesterday and was blissfully asleep through the whole procedure. Fortunately, endoscopies and colonoscopies done under mild anaesthesia are pretty standard in Portugal these days, but 15 or more years ago, anaesthesia wasn't common and I heard a lot of horror stories.
as a person who was also very sick over christmas holidays, i feel better that i shared the suffering with with joey simultaneously
1:45:00 one good thing my school did was for whatever reason, we had a whole group of historical actors come in to our school and play out a medieval battle in our school field and allowed us to fight each other with swords and stuff. Apparently a pretty major battle happened where I grew up so it was supposed to teach us about our local history but I just remember it being pretty cool and a nice interactive way of teaching us history.
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. We took an old steam train and learned about the war and rations and stuff which was really immersive and a good way of teaching kids about such events.
So yeah, those were pretty cool.
i got sick for the 3rd time under the same week, and i had problems with my stomach aswell so you where not alone joey. but i´m glad that you are better. i still have some coughing left but other than that i´m much better. thanks guys for todays video today
Seeing Garnt repping the ZUTOMAYO shirt brings a tear of joy to my eye
I was wondering if it was ZUTOMAYO
Joey hosting is giving the pod great energy.
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.
"I liked Avatar 1, it wasnt crazy long"
it was still 3 hours mr connor dawg
Wasn’t it like 2 and a half hours 😅

As an east coast Canadian from Quebec the poutine take from Connor boiled the maple syrup in my blood.
the fact the he called us French is also insulting...
I love being all caught up on trash taste eps and being able to catch all the running jokes and call backs
I am shocked that not only New Brunswick was brought up when they were speaking about the east coast of Canada, but that Connor has also been there. I thought they were just going to mention Montréal or god forbid Toronto. Feels good to get some representation :)
If the episode starts out like this, it means it's gonna be a fantastic one
I remember having a blast in TeamLabs and I have no other forms of social (other than TH-cam, which I consider to be streaming). It’s hella enjoyable, even if you do decide to put down the phone. You have art exhibitions such as TeamLabs and Meow Wolf which although look great on photo, I’d argue they’re gems even outside of pictures.
totally agree, it was amazing
I feel like Garnt went in with the wrong expectations as he keeps talking about the rooms as art pieces, when I think teamlabs is supposed to be more about the immersive experience for the senses rather than a gallery.
Connor is me when it comes to Netflix and watching ridiculously long youtube videos as opposed to feature length films.
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.
Garnt: Stonehenge is just a bunch of rock innit?
Also Garnt: Oooh the Pyramids of Giza! A bunch of triangle rocks! Pog!
When they talked about movies with fragmented timeliness, it reminded me of an old movie I watched called 11:14.
That is fragmented into all these seemingly random stories in a town that all happen to converge and culminate at 11:14pm.
At this point i'm convinced Garnt's favourite word is "weird".
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 😂
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
Poutine started as a low wage working class Québécois meal to go. It wasn't made to appear fancy. In fact, we were ridiculed for it and some elderly Québécois to this day refuse to eat it because they remember the stigma around it. You gotta try poutine in Québec before making your mind on poutine. Most provinces don't even have fresh cheese curds which is a game changer.
Kara no Kyoukai did the out of order story telling really well.

16:00 about kaleidoscope, there's a book from an Argentinian Writer who did this many years ago. It's a book that you can read however you want, and you get a different experience depending on how do you read it. It's called Rayuela from Julio Cortazar and it's really good.
I was wondering why "stomach flu" sounded so odd to me and then I finally realized it's cuz we just call it a "stomach bug" here
Joey, I feel your pain. In Spain we usually use the Greek terms for medical stuff, so when I moved to France, or even when I talk to people in English they look at me weird. Or when a doctor here tries to explain a diagnosis to me and I go "... oh, so you mean [random Greek words]" *confused French Doctor* "yes... that... that's correct actually".
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.
In Melbourne, Australia we went to an old Gold mine called 'Sovereign Hill' in primary school. The kids truly yearn for the mines

Worldwide, people have more access to technology than anesthesia services. I did a quick search on number of anesthesiologists in Japan and it seems like, similar to a lot of countries, there is a shortage of anesthesia providers there which may explain why some procedures are done without an anesthesiology services.

The High Frame Rate in Avatar 2 was limited only to the 3D version of the film based on some reporting I saw. I for sure noticed it looked like a video game during underwater action scenes. My brain was preparing to hit some quick time event prompts. So if you didn't see it in 3D, there was nothing to notice.
Hearing Connor speak highly of Canada makes me feel even prouder to be Canadian 😄
We used to go to Disneyland (Anaheim, CA) every few years. We'd get our trip through Costco Wholesale. The package came with a theme dinner at the restaurant with Disney characters. We had to make reservations ahead of time. Still felt cool, but mostly we looked forward to our reservation at the Blue Bayou restaurant in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. That was much more exciting!
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

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.
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).
Being a tourist is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing in the sense it allows you to roam a country hastle free, but a curse in the sense you're doomed to visit touristy places if you're with family lmao
That’s normal though. Why would you not want to visit the most well-known spots? Especially if it’s your first time.
@@Invictus-Solaris just me, but I wanna see other smaller places instead of something I see all the time on TV. Like in America I rather visit smaller towns than somewhere like LA.
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. Some of the tours and exhibits do a good enough job that you don't need it, but it's just a reality that not all of these places are up to that standard, especially accounting for different learning styles. But if you know a bit about what you're looking for and interested in going in, it's easier to find things to like.
The thing is if you feel your throat getting bad, like aching/scratching, that is indeed a signal that it's going to get inflamated, and you can reduce by a lot, or even prevent it if you drink enough liquid that helps with it, just drinking a lot of water and trying to wash it, it will help a lot, but there are other things that can pretty much heal on the go, like rice soup...
