Modern Conspiracy Theories | Sad Boyz 

every time they do their intro i expect it to go "i'm jarvis and i'm johnson", no matter how many episodes i've seen.

For future Sad Boyz wiki - this episode marks the end of Jordan's "howdy" intro. RIP 🫡

The old joke was always that Boeing's name was onomatopoeia for the noise the falling parts make when they bounce off the ground.

Ok but as a person who quit working for Boeing because of the ethics issues they should absolutely be investigated thoroughly

sad boyz bingo would absolutely include -twitter blue -stand up comedy -jordan being based and red-pilled -jordan’s butt doctor -jarvis brings up pokémon go -jordan peterson imitation -jordan brings up how much he hates the french -jarvis has to explain how technology works because whatever they’re watching uses incorrect terminology

Just wanna give Jarvis some reassurance that his minor in AI does indeed make him at least a little more qualified to talk on the matter than the general population. It has evolved a lot in recent years but he at least has some real understanding of its function

My sister literally DID take an Uber pool to the hospital when her appendix was rupturing.

Their synchronized laugh at the reveal of the AI Miami alien in a top hat had me rolling so hard, god bless these sad boyz Edit: 37:18 for anyone curious

As an Australian it sounds so dystopian to go into debt just to get an ambulance to save a persons life.

I dropped my phone off my 8th floor balcony this summer and when I got it from my downstairs neighbors backyard, not only was it fully intact except for a slight dent on the edge, but the call I was on was still connected and the person on the other end hadn’t even realized what had happened. Those phone cases are no joke.

It’s funny I remember the one time Jarvis did advertise for raid shadow legends and he kept laughing during the ad read I could tell the whole time even though he didn’t say anything how he felt about it lmaooo

New conspiracy theory: There _is_ a guest on this episode, if you look hard enough, hiding somewhere in the background…

Whenever i get anxiety about flying i think about how many wealthy businessmen fly around the world multiple times a year, sometimes multiple times a week, and somehow never end up in a plane crash

"no one was hurt from the door flying off of the plane" WRONG. my auntie who lives far away is an attendant for alaska and she was supposed to come visit me a week ago but she wasn't able to because they had to check all of the planes an extra time. I WAS HURT in my FEELINGS because i miss my auntie 😥

My experience with the burnt toast theory: I ended up having a surprise day off from work, because a town-wide water shortage led to the school I work at being closed. My then-partner asked if I wanted to go for a drive with him, because he needed to go and buy some tools or something a couple of towns over. We got to the town, and he decided that he'd buy lunch first, because he was hungry. We were right across the road from the tool shop, and there was a bakery, so why not? I was waiting in the car for him to emerge, and just when he did, I heard what sounded like an explosion. It was the loudest noise I've ever heard, and it sounded like it was right next to me. I saw horror on my partner's face, and turned to see wheels, glass, and various car parts scattered across the road, and two wrecked cars. One person (allegedly possibly on drugs) had barrelled through at an insane speed and crashed into an old woman who was turning out of a supermarket. The old woman ended up dying on the scene. It was awful. The weird thing was that my partner told me he had been delayed leaving the bakery because the customer in front of him was having issues with their debit card. If it wasn't for those few extra seconds of delay, we would have probably been crossing the road at the exact moment those cars collided, and would have been mown down as a result. We would have been absolutely done for. Terrifying.

As someone who actually carries a comically small hammer (it’s a multitool, but hammer IS one of those tools) I feel SO VINDICATED (If I ever go to a wedding where someone’s stuck in a vase, I could truly be a drunk white woman superhero)

in high school i was DEEP into a certain boy band twitter community. it's such an echo chamber that i was believing the WILDEST things. It was covid so not like i had anything better to do, but i was full on delusional, basically inventing new lives for celebrities and treating it like fact

This is interesting because there's another video now of a guy saying he saw Jarvis and Jordan fly here in a spaceship from their home planet of Sadulon. When you're watching Sad Boyz and the video drops in resolution because you're having wi-fi problems, you can actually see their true forms.

i really like the discussion about feeling insecure about staying home. i dropped out of college to medically transition and when people who don't know me too well ask what I'm doing and I don't provide the full context of surgeries, i can feel the judgement from them. i know I'm doing something more real and important than anything they're doing in business 102 but it still hurts

“George Orwin’s 1519” 😂😂😂

40:00 As much as I understand the absurdism of having descriptions of imbedded tweets, I’m sure that these are visual descriptions for people that have visual impairments (aka having the article read to them by a text to speech tool), as is becoming common in a lot of places these days! It’s important that these kinds of things are added so all kinds of people can engage with content that otherwise would be less accessible to them, or inaccessible completely. Besides, this also helps keep the context of the posts in these articles even if those tweets became somehow unreachable.

Never have I cried laughing harder than the moment the goofy AI generated alien tweet showed up on screen

Lil burnt-toast-style event in my family: my great aunt was going to visit my grandma going from one part of London to another, and missed her bus because she didn’t want to run for it so she waited for the next one. When that one was delayed she found out the bus she missed had just been blown up (it was the 7/7 bombings)

feels illegal to be this early

My principal in HS talked to our money sense class about his past gambling addiction and it was definitely eye opening as a 17 yr old.

I guess the reason for my debilitating phobia of worms (yes, literal worms and worm-like creatures) is that you never see statistics about how much less likely you are to be killed by a worm than you are to die in a car crash.

I'm so sad I missed the live show on the 6th. Heard Nancy loved all the bits you guys did in her office!

A skit about a cop walking into a police station and yelling "LOOK OUT HES GOT A GUN", pulling a gun on their coworker, and then another cop dropping a coffee and yelling "LOOK OUT HES GOT A GUN" sounds hilarious

37:18 my favourite sad boyz content is them being caught off guard and then hysterically laughing

Watched this episode on my phone rather than my laptop and not only did I get like 3x more ads but I SWEAR the majority of them popped up JUST RIGHT before a particularly interesting sentence reached the punchline Like Jarvis would go _"and the reason for that is-"_ and I'd get an ad right there I feel crazy because I can't explain how insidious it really feels when it actually happens but that's my conspiracy It happens every time I watch youtube on my phone or a TV, the ads just go full psyop like they know exactly _WHEN_ to pop up to leave me hanging on the conclusion to a particularly attention grabbing sentence

When they were talking about unexpected fires, i kept waiting for them to quote IT Crowd. "A fire...? In a seapark?"

So the story is that: 50 shadow aliens were shooting fireworks to warn these two people, who were burning toast, to not go in the plane, because a piece of it just comes off. Then a phone falls out of that same plane and lands on this vase located in the backyard of this high school physics teacher, Timothée Chalamet, and that was a sign to them that they should stop Kylie and Selena from taking a picture with each other. Did I get the gist of it?

was literally crying from laughing so hard during the part where they saw the AI Alien tweet. That was so freaking funny. Loved the break from the absurdity of shadow aliens to talk about sponsorships and such. Gotta get back to listening in to the podcast again.

I imagine the Sad Boyz set-up as a fully produced sit-com studio, and Jacob (who is a hivemind of lookalikes) fills every role. He's sitting there in a directors chair meanwhile he is also standing behind the camera and light fixtures. There's 5 rows of chairs for a live audience, only 3 seats filled, all of them Jacob completely stone-faced 24/7

A 2 hour sad boyz... we are truly blessed 💜

7:24 I love how Jarvis is clearly singing the Twilight Zone intro and then the editor was like, “That shit’s copyrighted, I’m now gonna choose music that sounds NOTHING like the Twilight Zone.”

The guy getting stuck in a vase is the origin story for Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

I believe there has actually been a case of a fireman being an arsonist, because he wanted to feel like a hero all the time

Honestly being from Gloucestershire and seeing someone make it big in content creation and representing us better than we deserve is so great, actually makes me feel proud, keep spreading the accent to America Jordan, it's our only chance 😂😂

The thing I find so odd about the florda mall thing isn't really the show of force. (they thought it was an active shooter situation/ riot so that's fair) What *IS* odd is the stark lack of _ANY_ videos of what actually happened on-site... Teens literally end up in hospital/ dead trying to get a video for tic-tok and yet with this many people involved, and this long after there is still _nothing._ I'm not saying anything paranormal, extra-terrestrial/dimensional happened but the absolute lack of any footage is very strange...

They called in all those cop cars because they got calls that there was an active shooter at a mall because of the sound of the fireworks.

dying 2 minutes in at the idea of Jordan running a bath and it immediately setting ablaze, you guys are so funny it's always a highlight to watch sad boyz

I haven't been able to work for the last couple weeks and have entirely lost track of the days so the episodes are always a special little surprise when they come out and I love that for me

I work for the plane company and…. Yeah. As someone who is currently doing quality testing on (non-flight, so no lives are on the line here) vehicles, there is definitely pressure to get things through fast. On the stuff I’m working on, there’s tons of cables that don’t work and loose screws that no one noticed until I got in there, and I’m not a hardware technician. Supposedly it had already passed hardware inspections. Idk, they’re probably more stringent on safety with the planes, but still

As someone who was once addicted to gamified gambling, I appreciate the line you drew against gambling ads. Any game with a gambling component, even some gacha games, have the possibility of promoting gambling. It takes a lot of personal accountability to avoid these games, of course, but it certainly doesn't help if a trusted content creator promotes a gambling game. The gamification of these gambling apps is very sinister. They are essentially promoting addiction by making it seem easy to get money. It took a lot of time and a lot of lost money for me to only spend a set amount of money on apps for the purpose of entertainment, not because I felt like I had to.

It's absolutely insane to me how much the selena gomez-kylie jenner rumour has spread around as if it was factual information. It's at the level of the conflict in a teenage romcom about a celebrity, unbelievable

this was a fascinating episode to go into stoned. I was confused, I was delighted, I was confused again.

i'm sure someone else has said this, but i wanted to thank you both for being so transparent about ad stuff! it's really genuinely interesting to hear about the process from a creator side of things and hear about your guys' boundaries with advertisers. it really shows your character and how much you care for your audience!

dude about the healthcare thing, i recently found out i have pretty severe asthma & my dr called in an inhaler to the pharmacy. it was $98 after insurance. just to breathe?????? this really is the world we’re living in

They just legalized sports gambling in Canada (or maybe it was just Ontario, idk) and it's so insidious. The ads are everywhere and they're so gross. They're all about how you can and should be gambling with literally any downtime you have.

the lip reading portion by Jarvis and Jordan amazing.

i really appreciate the theory jordan has posited which is selena has but her head in her hands because she has been kicked out of Scientology. I will be running with this theory and starting a conspiracy religion around it called selenaology

Regarding the burnt toast theory. I had a road closed on my way home from work a few months ago and had to detour to a different road. While sitting completely still I was hit by a car chase, I fortunately was not injured but they hit 5 other cars before me and still totaled my car. If the burnt toast theory is true I'd hate to have seen the outcome without the detour.

It’s really a commentary day, we get funky frog bait, Kurtis Conner AND THE BOYS!? Great Friday 🎉

Jarvis I do not know if you are aware of how adhd the phrase “the boy who preheated the oven” is, it’s a perfect example of how randomly strung together our thoughts are😭

jarvis' pure laughter at ridiculous things is one of the few things that gives me dopamine these days

i love this kind of episode, where there’s an overall theme sitting multiple different talking points, it’s really entertaining

2 hour sad boyz on birthdya!!! eating good tonight :3

Every now and then Jarvis sneaks in his secret valley girl accent.

The Miami police thing looks liked the end of Blues Brothers where just a billion cops chose them thru Chicago and it's so funny

I wish the conspiracy music they had chosen was just the opening to "Beyond Belief".

The Roman fire brigade under Crassus (Mega rich guy) would literally go around putting out people's house fires ONLY if they allowed him to buy the property first. If you let him buy your house he'd put out the fire, but if you refused, he'd simply walk away with the fire brigade. So in a sense, 'Big Fire' really did exist.

Scent bird is owned by a woman who runs a (totally separate) online spiritual community with some problematic vibes apparently 🤷‍♀️ It's very difficult to find articles connecting the two, which is honestly just impressive internet precence monitoring/management on her part

This is an amazing podcast to listen to and laugh while doing manual labour

As someone who gets scared every time a plane flies over me because I'm scared it'll fall on me, the fact that I'm more likely to die of a plane part falling on me than a shark attack is... fucking terrifying to say the least.

New conspiracy theory purely from Jarvis describing him from 10:10 Jacob is skibidi toilet.

37:20 best clip ever

This was such a fun episode. Both boys seemed happy and healthy.

im in miami visiting family and i went to the bayside mall and there were people in blow up alien mascot costumes wearing “i ❤ bayside” shirts.😭 most unserious place

50:13 Different culture thing, but having to wait till 21 to drink is wild to imagine where I live. So many people here start drinking even before the age of 18.

27:54 my brain is rotted I saw the ad that said “keep your furry friends warm” and I was like “why? Can they not buy sweaters themselves?” Pets. They meant pets.

I loved the format of the episode, I laughed harder than I have in a long time at so many points

This episode was great, I love the relaxed feel. Whenever you guys feel like doing one of these, I think it's great. Makes me feel like I'm just hanging out with some buds

What's really weird about the Kylie/Selena thing, is that when Selena was in her early-to-mid twenties, she did very public hangouts with Kylie and Kendall when they were minors/teens. It was pretty weird, but no one mentions it in this whole thing.

Sad Boyz Bingo - you forgot Pokémon Go! 😄

love this pod bc y’all r so funny together but also bc of how much u guys talk about ur mental health struggles! makes me feel less alone / insane! i have adhd as well (super late diagnosed bc afab at 23), and would love to hear y’all’s thoughts on RSD? found out the other day that RSD is the #1 most impactful symptom reported by people with adhd!! yet i feel like everyone i talk to about it have no idea what it is let alone how it actually works/ looks like. curious to see if u guys get any rejection sensitivity / what it looks like for u & any techniques you have learned to cope with it? luv da sad boyz hope y’all r feeling less sad and more boyz today!

1:22 the flour factory in my city has caught fire today, I appreciate your condolences 🙏😔

Love listening to you guys while drawing. Somehow managed to finish a piece right before the outro music 💯💯

Chances of dying in a car crash being 1 in 93 gave me a new phobia.

this is my favorite podcast. so quick witted, clever, and fun!

Man I love this podcast. Yall are so ethical and on the same page as your audience, keep that shit up, thanks for giving us a peek behind the curtain💯

Thank you for talking about covid! ❤ A big part of the confusion about it is definitely also public health messaging failures. The info about the current surge and long-term effects of multiple infections is all out there (like on the CDC website, for example), but they’re not doing enough to make sure people know (which is one of the main points of public health lmao). You have to go out of your way to learn about it - which not many people do - or happen to come across a news article. Not everyone will see those articles. Then there’s the issue of denial even when presented with this information. People really want to believe (or have maybe been led to believe) it’s a cold or flu-like illness and that’s just not true, unfortunately. Even mild cases can result in long-term consequences, and we know repeated infections increase your risk of hospitalization, health emergencies, and/or long-term health issues. Plus the flu is not mild either and also kills people 😵‍💫 getting it once or more times a year wouldn’t be normal or healthy either! The denial is somewhat understandable considering how serious things are. It’s scary. But ignoring reality is resulting in maladaptive behaviors that are only making the situation worse. People don’t think they need boosters anymore, they don’t want to wear a mask/respirator in crowded places (where vulnerable people will inevitably be), etc. The only way to get anywhere is to acknowledge and address our reality head-on and utilize the tools that we know work (vaccines, respirators, ventilation, air filtration, etc.) in a collective effort to keep each other safe. THAT’S what “living with the virus” or having a “new normal” should mean. I hope we’ll get there some day soon. Stay safe!

Currently working on my tentacle Jacob interpretation. Will post on twitter when finished

I love james cordon as STORMAGEDDON’s dad on two(?) Doctor Who episodes

59:58 I was so happy when Jarvis got the pokemon ad read! Started playing sleep bc of it.

this is like my favorite episode so far idk why its just really good

This is the first time i’ve been on this channel- and i haven’t laughed this much listening to a youtube video in ages😭😭 I’m obsessed now

Ooh! ooh! I have a lot of plane anxiety! My brother is a commercial airline pilot (he worked so hard to get where he’s at and I am v proud of him) but I absolutely CANNOT fly with him. I do not want to. Ever. Not in a big plane, a Cessna, nah nah, it’s a “awe thank u but no thx 💕” from me dog. This last year, he flew out in some little prop plane (i can’t remember what kind lol) to a lil family meet up, and on his flight back home, accompanied by his wife and one year old baby, he had to do an emergency landing in the middle of nowhere kansas bc the landing gear was defective and wouldn’t come down 😭 And like. Yeah. Everything was fine. He remained calm and cool or whatever and maybe it’s not as scary as it sounds but ohmygod does it give me ✨anxiety✨ The summer before my senior year, I tagged along on a lil ‘flight lesson’ with some retired gentleman who wanted to get his flight lesson just because 🥲💕 he had fixed up some OLD ASS plane, one of those propeller planes with two sets of parallel wings; one above the windows and one below. Rad as hell. anyways, when we took off from the small lil rural airport, and it was apparent that the guy queued after us was quite impatient. He had a more modern plane, notably with the wings level with the bottom of its windows (idk, i don’t speak plane) and that guy was FAST. He took off like 5 minutes after us, but because our plane was so damn old, it was taking FOREVER for it to climb altitude. By the time Lightning McQueen caught up with us and our paths crossed, between stressed ✨but professional✨radio chatter (between himself, this dumbass who was barely responding, and air traffic control), my brother realized McQueen was RIGHT ABOVE US, like within 100 ft. And because those DANG double-wings on our plane pretty much made it impossible to look above us, and MQ’s wings blocked *his* ability to see us below him. Anyways, I was terrified lmao. Never seen my always-respectful brother so angry, and told MQ over radio that he could have killed all four of us. But again, it turned out fine! Which is great. the entire rest of the flight lesson, after discovering we were flying low enough that I had two bars (wild), I quietly listened to Aja on the raycons I got with Jarvis’s affiliate link lol I literally do have anxiety all the time anyways, and know that countless hours of training, simulations, and schooling must happen before even the *least* experienced newbie co-pilot on your united airlines flight is perfectly capable of flying your plane, and knows wtf they’re doing. So idk. I know it could be fallible logic but ahhhh so many bad things have already *almost* happened soooo what if something super bad happens 😭 That’s all lol, I’ve earned my oversharing badge for the day. Also, my brother says that if you don’t turn your phone on airplane mode during a flight, nothing bad will happen. He said “I saw it on mythbusters😌” Ok bye! 👋🏻

probably my favorite episode so far!! had me cracking tf up every 2 seconds

I am having the scariest Covid side effects (racing heart rate) but the pod is bringing me some much needed comedic relief + belly laughs

53:46 there is a difference in partaking in something and *endorsing* something. In both good and bad ways, you guys seem open, honest, and easy to trust. I have noticed that despite my abundance of cynicism when Jarvis says something is good, I listen. Probably more than most creators. So I’m glad you’re discerning about advertising.

I just wanted to say, I really appreciate that you guys don't take any gambling sponsorships. They legalized gambling in my town and opened a casino which they're building to be a Hard Rock and they also opened several smaller places with gambling tables and slots, which eventually got shut down because the places were not paying their taxes, but anyway, I've seen the effect already on so many people that I know. Gambling addiction is not a joke and actually out of all the addictions it has the highest instance of people commiting suicide. It's not something to play with and it's just very insidious and very disgusting and it can and very often does ruin lives. I always give the side eye to anyone who takes on a gambling sponsorship, so yeah, props to you guys for recognizing that and not letting greed get in the way of having morals.

Thank you guys for the multiple times in this episode I started laughing so hard I had to stand up and go make a quesadilla to calm myself down 🤣

Thanks for the outlandish episode Pinely and MoistCr1t1kal, very nice

Always good topics on the pod. This is my favorite thing to listen to while cleaning 🤭

In sweden (at least the last time i flew in an airplane), the worker did actually calm people down when there was MAJOR turbelence. She explained why there was turbulence and when it would most likely stop. Really great thing to do i think

this episode was so fun, i planned to make my suitcase but couldn't finish because i was dying laughing at that freaking ai miami mall alien lmaoo

I live in Oakland and worked in San Francisco for around 25 years. Until the pandemic we had "casual carpool" and I did that to work nearly every day for years. There were pickup points and lines of riders to pick up. The driver avoided bridge tolls and clogged lanes for the commute and the riders avoided paying for transportation. At some point after I stopped doing it due to changes in my work location, it became customary for the riders to pitch in $1 each for the increased bridge tolls, but that was it. Amazingly few horror stories about that. Probably because it was early in the morning and most people just went back to the East Bay on their own as 1. No bridge toll going back, and 2. No good general pickup area at the drop-off zone in SF.

my dad works at spirit aerosystems and he said that the engineers TOLD PEOPLE THAT THIS WAS NOT SMART and they went w it anyways (thus resulting in. y'know)

I'll be honest, a late-night talk show hosted by C-3PO would be awesome
