BIG CORPORATIONS OWN YOUTUBE? - Dude Soup Podcast  

Elyse was having the time of her life. She just had to play a indie game

Adam, I'm glad you're getting your stomach checked out. It can really get out of hand and fuck you up the rest of your life. I had a stomach infection as a kid that went untreated and led to ulcers and a hernia before I was 14. Had to have it surgically fixed and I'm still fucked up and get constant infections, ulcers and inflammation. I've had 6 or 7 endoscopies. It sucks. Eating hurts for a few days to weeks afterwards. 16 years later and I'm still dealing with this shit. Take it seriously.

Imagine not getting a sauce at McDonalds, going home upset about it, and then going on Ebay and paying $400 for a fucking packet of sauce. Imagine being that person and trying to live with yourself every day.

As a wannabe "creator," Joe Dyson makes me feel ashamed of myself. He has 650+ videos in 4 years, has OBVIOUSLY been improving, and continues to pound out equal or better quality videos with each go? That is HEART and dedication to his craft. Dude has like ten published books and I'm sitting here surfing internet videos. Mock if you will but that guy is doing some work. Respect.

Okay, so, on James’ 24 Hour Fitness Story - I worked for the company for 3 years and I can confirm, _there is no policy restricting weight dropping._ As a matter of fact, many clubs have rubber weights and padded flooring in front of squat racks _for that express purpose._ Now, as the guys were speculating, trainers aren’t contractors, they work in the company and their department tends to be socially isolated, but they are beneath the managers of the departments they don’t belong to, including Membership and Service. I hope that PT gets the boot, what a prick.

I made it to Dude Soup! It took 662 videos but I did it! Now, what the hell am I going to do? (thanks, guys and pretty lady!)

"I have $30,000 in my bank account, and that's it!" I think the highest I've ever had in my bank account was $2000.

Heres another idea..if Elyse is playing..why not move her up to the front? Lol

whoever made that thumbnail, you deserve a pay bonus for that

Can we have the James Williems show so he can practice on his improv?

Lawrence keeps flashing his teeth at us trying to be sly

About the Michael Jackson drug topic: they were referring to Fentanyl, which is a few orders of magnitude stronger than oxy/hydrocodone. You tend to be prescribed it it in roughly 25/ 50/ or 100 *micrograms* per every 3 days, to let it sink in, whereas the other two are in 5/ 7.5/ or 10 miligrams per increments of either 8 or 6 hours.

The thumbnail for this video Is amazing

The theme of this podcast is disappointment? Then this sounds like a podcast for me since I'm a living disappointment to everyone

I am impressed that both Dinster Daily and the Dyson show continue their uploads to this day with the same frequency. True titans

50:04 Adam and Bruce's eye contact on the stitchfix ad about black t-shirts was... MAGICAL

De franco did an update that H3H3 wasn’t allowed to put non provider sold ads on his videos.

I love it when you guys have a little bit longer podcasts. Even if its just by 5 or 10 minutes. And as much as I love you guys talking about news and stuff, hearing about your daily lives is much more entertaining.

... Hi don't burn the garlic when ur cooking, it will taste bitter. Bye.

It is really hard to get a doctor to recognize and diagnose a chronic problem, even when you are sure there is something wrong. It is awful to get a scan that doesn't back up your claims and have your doctor ignore you, only for them to claim ignorance of it when a problem is found years later by a more attentive doctor.

Damn that Thumbnail... can't wait to sink my teeth into this week's podcast, LETS GO!

Can we talk about how Bruce's scoff syncs perfectly with the in-game explosion at 5:05

I love how intelligent this way, congrats guys and Madame, I was surprised at this level of sincerity

So they tell Elyse to stop playing so she can contribute more, and then cut her off when she tries to add anything. Great job guys!

Elyse's concern for whether the old man in Hard Nettin' had love in his life is one of the most endearing things I've ever experienced

Re: George Lucas 1. If Lawrence had paid attention to the credits, Lucas creatively had nothing to do with Howard the Duck. He didn't direct it, he didn't write it. Not even a "story by". He signed a contract with Universal to deliver a Howard the Duck movie. He proposed an edgy animated movie and the studio said "No". He was going through a messy divorce and said "Whatever. I get paid no matter what and I need the money right now to keep Skywalker Ranch". The only thing which people like James use as "proof he never had talent" more incorrectly is the Star Wars Holiday Special. His name appears nowhere in the credits- not even "characters created by " as would be required by Writers Guild. That means not only did he have nothing to do with it, he actively asked his name to be taken off it because he knew it sucked. Since it only aired once, that not even him rewriting history- he was protesting its crappiness up front. Remember that was made, he had no control over Star Wars- the studio owned it while Lucas only held merchandising rights. Give credit to Lucas for using his Empire Strikes back money to buy control of Star Wars from Fox.

The same corporations who complained about running ads on RU-vid were pimping out ads on tv news when the Las Vegas thing happened. They knew a lot of people were watching so they had 5 minute long ads frequently. This was from someone who was watching tv shows and noticed this. I don’t feel bad that cable is going to die because these corporations have been doing this for a long time. Just hope they don’t take over the internet. I also realize internet does the same but there’s more platforms and you’re not giving in to one big corp but instead you could be watching funhaus

last time I was in Twilight for endoscopy, I remembered like all of it. Sigmoidoscopy too.

This is the definition of great and neutral quality news, thanks guys. Came from H3H3 (a channel which I love) where they didn't find out this information, I'm glad that I follow your channel so that I get this quality information, otherwise I would have probably been on the "hate youtube" train atm.

"Don't take it out on the guy working the counter" "That's who you redeem the quest to" Fucking lol

Seeing Bruce consume two weeks worth of Hard Nettin' made me smile, and I was on the edge if my seat for the whole section! Hope RTXLondon is great (meaning you guys don't get sick)!

Choose your typical brown-haired white guy: Bearded + Glasses Just Glasses Just Beard Neither, only brown-haired white guy

I freaking love Funhaus man. I came for the comedy but I have stayed for the sincerity and integrity these guys stand for

I have the exact same problem lawrence so im with you on the garlic burning. Its very frustrating and disheartening even if the dish ends up fine but the house is filled with smoke and everyone yells at you and all you wanted was to taste that sweet teriyaki but now all you CAN taste is tears :(

Hey Adam I had the same stomach thing, had a tube shoved down my throat and found out it was some bacteria, "Helicobacter Pilori". Had to take a shit ton of antibiotics for a month that destroyed the bacteria along with my stomach, not fun. Good luck man.

I died when Bruce said Dyson was retooling and getting better at it. But hey more power to that guy for keeping it up!

12:00 if you want to hear about the "BIG CORPORATIONS OWN RU-vid?"

I suffer from Gastritis because I had a bad stomach ache once and said "fuck it, no big deal". Good for you for getting it checked, Adam.

When they were talking about the szechuan sauce, I was like "finally someone gets it, it was just an effing joke, like the cartoon is, stop taking it so seriously".

I think you guys hit on a big point. Companies that deal with ad revenue do monetize tragedies, media consumption skyrockets when tragedies hit and advertisers are not blind to that fact. We question morals now because of how the involvement of the audience has evolved in new media but it has always been a very profitable thing to do. I found it pretty sickening that at the end of Kimmel's video they still rolled the "hit the subscribe button" bit, but it's just because the people making the decisions aren't interested in putting Kimmel's opinion or wishes out there, they're selling a product, and at the end of a day it's all about business for them especially.

That Hat in Time game actually looks really cute and fun to play, thanks Funhaus for bringing it to my attention.

James' description about anger and research just described the fight I had with my S/O the other night. Damn, son.

T-hor... Made me crack up, damn it Elyse. Lol

I have a friend who I tried to introduce to Funhaus, and she reacted pretty much exactly how James described it. She thought the guys were actually sexist and they actually meant the stuff they said. Even though I tried to explain to her that the whole point is them acting stupid and satirical, she just simply did not accept it for some reason. It's really interesting how people get hung up on first impressions even after being explained the actual context.

Greatest part, 50:08. “Maybe expand your wardrobe beyond black t shirts with a logo on it” and then Bruce and Adam IMMEDIATELY looking down at their shirts then making eye contact with one another.

"Do you think he has love in his life?" That's why I'm laughing Alyce

Adam, both my girlfriend and I have both had a scope procedure within this last year. The days leading up to it suck, but there is basically no recovery time, you will wake up feeling pretty good, but maybe a sore throat.

I like Lawrence's weekly discussion of RU-vid drama... "I'm killer KeemLarr, let's get riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... INTO THE NEWWWWWZ!"

Best podcast ever! Thank you guys for showing the initiative to not be just responsive for the sake of views. I hope you guys get your advertising back too. Love everything you guys do, keep up the awesome work!

I just don't understand how these guys have stagnated around a million subs for so long. Their quality deserves more.

Lawrence should really do a anniversary hard netting where we look back on a year of hard netting

This was a very good podcast, took me back to the IG podcast days when you guys had very interesting discussions about everything media and it's obscure back doors and loop holes, keep it up guys!

The Elyse ene-two punch of going from being sad for Mr. Dyson to doubling down on his possible dead wife. I had a nasal milk ejection, that cost me a keyboard. Worth it for the LoLs.

If you're on a squat rack and not using the bar, you're dead to me.

ugh Ya killing me with that youtube drama guys. But thanks for keeping it short

I used to work for a Gastroenterologist, she always described the drug to patients as "the one that killed Michael Jackson." I'm glad shes not the only doctor doing that lol

Super late to the party here but just wanted to say it’s very refreshing to hear conversations that are so open to both viewpoints. Obviously i get that people hiding behind a fake profile are just there to troll or spout off at people, vs you guys who are paid to be objective, but you could still easily go the other way and you don’t. Thanks for playing devils advocate and for putting in the research to debate either side. Cheers

the hard netting was a deeply philosophical question; Dinkster vs. A million farts in the wind.

The quotes by James 18:29 and 18:42 are the most powerful and best description on today's society.

I like james saying oooh so scary! Cracks me up

Adam knows Binging With Babish?? I feel happy!

Adam referencing Binging with babish was great.

You guys have a special place in my heart. Love y’all

Bruce's reaction to the Dinkster is perfect

James: watch Godfather part I - Godfather part II Lawrence: watch anything but those, okay.

I like how elyse was quiet for ten minutes before she said "I like purple rows of kayro" or whatever that movie is

@ 48:00 James states that artists don't make a lot of money off a show until it goes into syndication. I just want to clarify this a bit as somebody who works in the animation industry. I will not express what company I work for as to not speak as a representative of them, to respect NDA's and to keep my work and private life as separate as possible. The truth of the matter is that most artists don't get that much money, and shows in syndication don't typically boost the wages of the artists. Artists are paid over the production cycle and don't usually see more later on. Rare examples of shows exist that become obscenely popular (As rick and morty has) where artists are paid more after the fact if the studio is so inclined, but really the artists are paid salary or hourly with very little in terms of perfomance bonus's. The money they make is decent especially compared to average jobs, but its nothing crazy. It's a day job that requires a degree. A bunch of hamsters running on wheels in cubicles day in and day out. It's something you work at until you can retire. I think the average income of the artists in this company is 26.5K net canadian. Once taxes, bills and groceries come out the average person can save a bit of their earnings, but not that much. Artists don't get rich making good shows, and with the exception of people employed at household name companies like disney animators rarely make "A lot of money," studio's do. Just thought it'd be interesting.

That's the best thumbnail ever you guys, props to the guy who made it

I like when Lawrence apologizes to whomever he's insulted as though - in this case - George Lucas watches Dude Soup, lol, "Sorry, George." Lawrence is funny sometimes.

Holy shit, Bruce, I was knocked out of a spelling bee because of rheumatism too!

Somebody ring the dinkster?

If there are are more bad people than good people, especially on RU-vid, which of you are the good and which of you are the bad?

You guys need to start doing international adverts! I'm in Australia and would love to do StitchFix

As someone who is consistently getting told by doctors that there is basically nothing wrong with me or that there is really nothing to do to improve my condition (GI tract related, I might add), I'm glad to hear that Adam is getting the medical attention that he needs. I don't know why, but I feel like GI tract problems/conditions are taboo topics and don't receive the attention it needs from doctors in general.

I really appreciate Lawrence this episode! You can tell he put the research in and was careful not to be bias, and then he pops in with the update. Cool! Thanks dude

the game reminds me alot of super mario sunshine, think i might get it

That thumbnail is platinum.

The idea of Bruce in a spelling bee against little kids would be hilarious! There was a shitty movie with Jason Bateman with that same concept, but I think it could've been executed better with Bruce

I felt sorry for Elyse while she was playing, she should've been nearer the screen! also 53:32 had me in stitches

the reason why that sauce joke made it, it's because justin who does the voice for rick and morty does like it a lot. he goes on tangents about that sauce and they thought it'd be funny to include it as a joke. because justin really is somewhat obsessed with the sauce in real life. I mean probably not crazed to extent his fans became. lol however he will get into conversations and start talking about the szechuan sauce on occasions and just go on about how great it was. they've talked about it in multiple interviews. was a bit of an inside joke, but I guess it resonated with a lot of people lool

Thanks for updating the story Law Dawg. You're a gentleman and a scholar

I really liked the part where they talked about comedy and how it works. A lot of people say they love Funhaus because they don`t shy away from crude humor, but I think that`s only half of the truth. The reason why I love them is because they know HOW to make this type of comedy work. Funhaus have mastered the art of doing "stupid comedy" while also making it clear that they are jokes and that they don`t reflect who they actually are and that they`re really decent people beneath all that. I don`t want to belittle anyone, but most people sound embarrassing when they try and make jokes about sensitive topics, but these guys know how to do it right.

42:48 Elyse finally gives up on her point to all the men talking over her. Even Bruce! 😢 Good on Law-dog for actually getting back to a person with a point... Even if that point was forgotten 😝

The magic number for TV syndication is around 5 seasons or 100 episodes. I'm not sure where Rick and Morty would get syndicated except Adult Swim.

This is the side of Funhaus that I like. Less focus on gutter humour more on intellect.

I like that hot update intersection after the RU-vid bit. I really like that.

damn... first you've got Adam (with an open neck wound) and Peake (with red swollen eyes) on Open Haus, now Elyse with the 70's part in her puffy hair... It's official: Funhaus is a crack den.

This may be the best Hard Nettin' Net-Off ever

That’s awesome me and my friends use “The League of Extraordinary Pleasuremen” in every game we can name a clan or group

James I feel your pain at my GYM there is a guy who will start to yell at you if you touch any weights (the ones he's NOT using) that are near him and of course he hogs the weights and if you have a weight he wants he'll just take it without asking. Butt that don't stop me from getting my squats n deadlifts cause the gains don't stop. PS. I'm surprised that Trainer didn't tell the manager that the "Don't drop the weights" signs are on the way. You should tell him to take his butt to planet fitness where they have the Lunk Alarm so no one drops the weights and no one gets gains.

I love how they didn't even bother editing out the trainer's name once Bruce said it. They just gave up.

Holy shit, The Stinking Rose is still around? I went there almost 20 years ago and still remember the heartburn.

Just got to 43 min in and saw the look on Elyse's face after accepting the fact that she gave up her cool indie game so that she can talk more, only to have her husband talk over her. I feel this in my soul.

To go off of Elyse's comment of Funhaus being inclusive and over-all a great community - that's exactly why I have y'all's notifications turned on. Despite Lawrence being really into anime, and Bruce farting all of the time, and James being into weight-lifting, and Spoole being the "Quintessential Christian" of the group, you all respect each other and are kind, even if there are tons of jokes about all of those things thrown around. You're exactly right when you say Funhaus is about being inclusive and just having fun, because that's exactly what it is, and I have yet to run into a fan of Funhaus who acted like the "Gate-keeper" to the content I was enjoying.

Lawrence, you da podcast MVP. Thanks for always giving it your all.

You guys should do an episode of something in which you cook something from Blue Apron

50:03 is a fantastic moment

The lack of communication from RU-vid has been an issue for creators who want to maximize their own profitability (regardless of tragedy to charity) by understanding what is monitized or not. This is just another example of RU-vid of sending an unclear, even if reasonable, message to smaller creators about how all this works. If they just said, Hey we like money and thats fine for us, then creators could work with that. The lack of explanation is the problem that RU-vid continues to seed for smaller creators trying to make a living.

It's not Casey Kneestat, Lawrence! :P

That's cool the 'alliance universe' dude wrote you a thankyou letter
