Faking A Relationship To Sell A Movie | Sad Boyz 

Jarvis saying "our birthday is next week" made me picture Jordan and Jarvis being twins who went through a Parent Trap scenario

I just put the entire thing into 400% and watched it in 20 seconds! Great video boys! Points were made, things were definitely said!

Just wanna say that I’m loving the balance between the special guest eps and the OG Boyz eps!!

I live for Jordan's wild tangents that seem to catch Jarvis off guard

YES. I HATE when ppl see a man and woman just being nice to each other and immediately think they are in love (or SHOULD be). calm tf down! stop shipping real ppl. Sorry to hear Jarvis has had to deal with that. It is literally the most uncomfortable thing when someone (esp a stranger) tells you who you should date. it's gross.

I cried laughing over the idea of a pro baseball playing panicking and catching the ball that was pitched at him, instead of hitting it, then running away

Jordan talking about how short college was, me, a current PhD student whose been in college for 9 years and hasn’t even started my dissertation yet, *weeps in background*

Jordan has younger sibling energy this episode and I’m here for it

Hey boys, a note on the Pinkertons. They don't do government contracting anymore because they are banned by law in the Anti Pinkerton act of 1893. Also if you haven't read about it, look up the Battle of Blair Mountain. Love you :)

jordan has some mad chaotic energy in this one. absolutely stunning.

the out-of-the-blue “do you know who the pinkertons are?” made my jaw hit the FLOOR lmaoooo

jordan being partially incomprehensible due to lack of sleep is such a fucking mood 💀

just to add and maybe clarify the journalism conversation, as a journalist myself: from like a conceptual standpoint, yes paparazzi are journalists. they take photos and write on events. the real difference is that I would bet most companies that we consider paparazzi in the US are probably registered as entertainment companies rather than news organizations. (fun fact, so is Fox News. that's why it's like that.) they can use this in a legal sense to dodge accusations of slander/libel: "hey, we're just entertainment, we never said we report the facts." that's also why they say things like "reportedly" CONSTANTLY and never mention sources. it's literally gossip. "actual" journalism is held to a much higher standard as it's actually pretty easy to sue a newspaper or news station if they've reported something that isn't factual. also broadcast has a lot of rules to follow from the FCC but that's a different thing altogether. also, England has different and weird free speech laws comparatively so that might be where Jordan is coming from here. basically big news orgs that are famously reliable want to keep that reputation and have a huge spotlight on them and will absolutely get sued for libel if they slip up. local news orgs are also usually good sources because they're people right in your community... and you can usually easily fact check them since you're right around whatever they're reporting on.

I know that yall get a lot of flak for the weird sitting but honestly it makes me really happy that I can do a lot of figure drawing while watching yall

Jarvis is bringing back the vaguest memory talking about the reading challenge we had to do in school

blackrock is the investment firm,, blackwater is the private military contractors. i get them mixed up all the time too. 😅

"Charizard having s-ex." Jordan obviously knows his demographic lmao. You two aren't just good at the podcast game, you're ✨ gold ✨

Have I ever had bad laughter? Yes, it's called being tickled.

Real person shipping is always weird and gross but it's especially bad when it involves online personalities who are more likely to see those kinds of comments and speculations about their private lives. Sorry that you have to deal with that, Jarvis and Jordan. It's so inappropriate and disrespectful.

Genuinely don't know why every time I watch Jarvis' solo content I keep calling him Jordan Johnson. Sorry, yall merged into one person. This is what you get for being bros instead of homies 😔

I’m so glad you guys are back in person. You can tell that you guys are more comfortable, and being able to have guests in person adds a lot to the pod. (Also the Pokémon video was great. We want to see your personal interests. Passion makes great content.)

Im not a trading card fan, but i genuinely like hearing you guys talk about what you like. It's really interesting and fun to learn! My fave thing is listening to people talk about what they like so keep doing that!!

I literally LOVE when the youtubers I watch just randomly throw in a video about something niche or specific to their interests! Idk why people would dislike it because it's like the youtuber has extended a level of trust that the follower is here for them, not just their content 😭 I only really watch youtubers that I think I'd befriend in real life, so it's nice to be able to do some sort of parasocial version of an emotional bid lmao

I love that everyone's reaction to finding out the Pinkerton's are still around is like "what?! The old cowboy bounty hunters/the turn of the century Union busters?! They still exist?!" The power of going under the radar, able to be the worst because so many people don't realise they exist.

Jordan, you're doing a good job! Seriously, love the extra chaotic giddy energy Sleepy Jordan brings.

I'm really happy that Jarvis actually knows what happened with the pokemon and magic stuff. I saw so many creators just gloss over this stuff, the Magic 30 in particular, and act like it shouldn't be a big deal.

I love how at this point, the phrase "we end Sad Boyz with a particular phrase" is now part of that particular phrase they end the podcast with.

I hope the move went well and you're both enjoy your birthday plans! This was such a sweet episode, so fun when you guys just talk about things you like, whatever they are

I relate a lot on the reading subject, I used to read so much as a kid! I am autistic and reading was my very first special interest, and like Jarvis a lot of the time I spent reading as a kid was Harry Potter. Now as an adult I just have such a hard time quieting my mind when I sit down to read, it's been a really big struggle because it is something I desperately want to reconnect with and throw myself into again. Every time I open a book to start reading I will read the words from 4 paragraphs, and then realize I don't remember ANY of it. The entire time I was reading it I was just thinking about the medical problems I am dealing with right now, or a conversation I had earlier that week, or what I need to get at the grocery store tomorrow or whatever else it might be. I will catch that I did that and reread the paragraphs trying to really dedicate myself to absorbing the words and painting the story in my imagination. That works for the stuff I had already read, but then I get to new paragraphs and start drifting off again. It's very frustrating and I have been trying to force myself to just engage in it again the way that I used to in hopes that things will click later down the line. I sometimes think there might be some kind of mental block because of the fact that the author of the books that got me so invested in the hobby wants me dead now, because every time I read it is hard not to connect it to my memories of Harry Potter in some ways. I'm planning on just trying to replace those memories with better fantasy authors like N.K. Jemisin, Ursula Le Guin and Terry Pratchett. I just started reading a series called Riddle-Master that is very Tolkien inspired (reluctant sweet little boy forced onto a quest of incredible gravity kind of deal) by an author named Patricia McKillip that my chiropractor gifted me and I have been enjoying it a lot even though I have to read most of the paragraphs twice.

The Pinkertons have murdered thousands of workers since the late 1800s with little to no accountability. The establishment of Mayday as the true “Labor Day” aka International Workers Day has a direct line back to murders committed by the Pinkertons in Chicago during a strike for the 8-hour work day (1886).

there are two stages to the real person shipping thing in my opinion: don't do it first of all, but if you do it, etiquette is don't make the irl people aware of it. Do people not know this

i’ve been binging the podcast today and i’m 40 minutes into this one and just barely realized the reason i don’t remember any of this is because it is new

I love how Jarvis is just dodging any cowboy references to the Pinkertons to keep spilling his tea.

Hi Jarvis and Jordan. Great episode (3 seconds in)

I definitely needed this after hearing frustrating news about my chronic pain so thank you for posting Jarvis and Jordan for helping me feel less alone

the alternate baseball cards of seeing them at home/more naturally is basically k-pop photocards LMAO

Jordan's level of chaos today is just beautiful 😂

In Alaska,we did the Iditaread that we did while the Iditarod (dog sled race) was going on. Ever minute you read equaled a mile and you’re paper dog would race to Nome, AK. You get little prizes when you reach check marks, my kid got a stuffed husky this year.

When I was at school I did my work experience in a book shop and I remember noticing some of the books I was told to put out had a future release date on the box and I asked the manager about it who said it was fine, they never pay attention to those for smaller authors. Now I'm just imagining Random House or whoever sending the Pinkertons to raid the shop's customers because they got a book two weeks early.

I wish everyone had a friendship like you two.

I absolutely believe it. Had never heard or had no desire to see the movie until I was bombarded with news about it. Still have no desire to see it but I've heard of it now lol.

having a bad day and this podcast is all that makes me feel better so im very grateful

Summer Reading Program is what it is/was called. Schools had some and also Scholastic had a big one.

Ive almost never seen Jordan sit normally, but it’s relatable

LOL! I remember those read-a-thons! At my school (in the keys :p) , you'd have to take a test too. I figured out that if I read enough books, I never had to do actual work in class. So, not only did I get an A in the class, I ended up getting 3rd place in my whole school for the most books read. I was reading books like Crime and Punishment. lol, what the hell was a 7th grader doing reading Crime and Punishment? X3

idk if they read this but just want someone to tell Jarvis that the pokemon card vid was one of my faves and he should do more "stuff I find interesting" vids

we had a summer reading program in elementary school where kids were rewarded with a pizza party or whatever if they got enough hours in during the summer. But I just remember one kid claimed to read 100 hours every day of the summer and "forged" his mom's signature on the timecard (by literally just scribbling). That kid sacrificed a lot to try and get us pizza, never forget o7

glen powell is just trying to escape the mass amounts of fanfic of him getting railed by miles teller

Super excited for this episode!

I took just one Journalism-focused Eng Comp course and was taught that when a headline is a question: "If the answer is yes, it's news. If the answer is no, it's a fake news. And if they don't tell you the answer in the first paragraph, it's not journalism." I do feel they left out all of those clickbait discussion board posts formatted to look like articles that don't answer their origial proposition at all.

I mean talking about stunts and the biggest one recently was Olivia and Harry 💀 they broke up immediately after the movie promo ended lmao its funny because people predicted it all but they get laughed at for knowing most couples aren't real and love doing pr and rising up the scales of Hollywood

Jessica Chastain and Oscar Issac are the pinnacle of they maybe cheating for this movie. It was on another level.

What a great ep! And Oh my gosh, finding out you both have the same birthday is so cool. happy Early birthday! Hope you both have a great one! Sending love your way! 💖

the million minutes of reading mention unlocked childhood memories for me. absolutely WILD

yes id fake all my reading logs my mom used to help fake them

For a split second at the very beginning, I thought Jarvis was in a smallish top hat. Anywaaaaay

hey gang love the poddies keep them up i’m such a saaaad boy for u

glad that you guys are the first ppl i see addressing this drama that i’m very uninterested in yet curious abt.

We finally got Jordan back in the thumbnail 🤗🤗✨💕☁️⚡

I would love for the legal eagle to make a video about the magic card pinkerton incident and talk about the legality of them saying they need receipts for everything.

Keep in mind theres currently like 1.3 million people on the bluesky waitlist. I think if any social media could break out in this age, it would be bluesky

Thank you for making shit that actually gets me through work omg

Serious thought on Blue Sky - I wonder if part of what they may be aiming for is to be a reliable platform for journalists and reporters, since one of Twitter's biggest issues right now is around misinformation and disreputable accounts coming up in conversations. And journalists want a place that they can do the work they do on Twitter but want to get off Twitter.

i love the consistently in the pod posts

Omg I grew up in FL and you brought back a memory with that reading thing

Y’all are so effortlessly funny 😂

Happy Sad Birthday Jarvis!🎉

Haven't seen it yet but Love this episode.

I needed this

Disappointed that Jarvis didn't put a voiceover telling Jordan he did a good job.

“i don’t want a url format” they would not survive a day on tumblr

I hadn't heard even a whisper about that MtG Pinkerton thing. Absolutely insane

on the topic of the pinkertons: here is what i very vaguely remember from puppet history season two episode one. it was a detective agency started by a guy named pinkerton in the late 1800’s. they saved abe lincoln’s life one time. (don’t quote me on this i am not a historian)

Me casually listening to the podcast and just catching a stray from Jordan for that "you chose violence" thing. I don't pay for blue but I love that joke! T-T

Jarvis said "cyanide and happiness" and i had like an entire time-stopped-flashback-montage to essentially middle school age woof

i missed you jarvis

I remember those reading competitions! I don’t I ever took part in them because of my ADHD though; I already had to get outside help in that time.

naps are the best ❤

every episode with just the boys im just constantly like gosh jordan is just like me fr

Jordan is like a dream I don't want to wake up from

Jordan, you’re doing such a good job! Jarvis, you’re trying your best. 😂

Love u guyssssaaaaa

Sleepy jordan needs to be told he’s a good boy

I signed up for the patreon finally

I almost died when you said "change her mind;" very well played.

Omg this episode is amazing!! I agree with the things they said

Can you add subtitles or somthing

watching the whole pokemon card craze is kinda wild. i used to buy pokemon cards from this one store and now the shelf is locked up for security and you have to ask someone to get you the cards which i bet looks insane to anyone who doesn't know

"Change her mind" this 3pisode has the best bits I'm glad I saved it for my workday

i love watching the podcast n playin games xoxo thanks guys

I've been watching these at random so the fact that I've stumbled upon the most recent one messed with my mind a little lol

Jarvis unlocking my memories of the Book It challenges in elementary school

Ik yall were talking about like cards but while in the conversation I just thought about how fun it’d be to see y’all play a board game

The captions absolutely do that it’s so funny

Just an aside, I’m pretty sure WotC is the only profitable section of Hasbro. So it’s lass that they’re trying to make as much profit as possible as Hasbro is trying to get them to make enough profit to support the entire company.

my elementary school had the RAH (reading at home) cart, where you got a certain amount of points from your reading at home log, and every friday they'd come by your class with a cart full of prizes. you could save your points for better stuff.

i used to read a lot and unfortunately fell off for a few years, but this year my new year's resolution was to read more and i've read 16 books so far on apple books. most of them are short but at least i'm reading

BIRTHDAY PODCAST LETS GO

could we get an opposite day pod where jarvis is jordan and vice versa for an hour

I know exactly what Jordan is talking about, at least the part how Journalism in the US is treated with reverence. Before I had to drop the semester for medical reasons, my news writing class exposed me to SO much about journalism and what journalists think. Funny enough, the best book in that class was written by a British man for a mainly British audience. He was the most concise, clear, and straight forward about news writing style compared to the American journalists. Writing for News Media by Ian Pickering- that was the book lol. The other books got all philosophical about journalism and waxed their own asses like they were poetic or something. I clearly didn’t have much patience for their writing styles 😂 But it’s interesting to me he picks up on it from an outside perspective, because before taking that class I didn’t really notice it. The UK must realllyyy not respect journalists 😂 But he’s absolutely right that many journalists will end up writing for gossip/yellow pages kinda stuff.
