You Will Be Consumed ft. Nick Mullen | TAFS 

"My gums are fucked up, and I have to buy bombs?"

Nick talking about looking at his cat and going, “How do I get THAT?!” is unbelievably fucking relatable. I just want purpose, or to be completely absolved of all responsibility.

adam laughing while nick is describing the horror of his daily life is peak art, i love this stuff

Nick could absolutely get his job at gamestop back and climb the corporate ladder easy

These are the kind of clips they need on their actual channel, so funny

The idea of Elon musk fumbling through space companies and car companies because he has to do SOMETHING suddenly makes the entire world make sense.

I missed this kinda nick

Adam's testosterone levels went from 0 to -1

We need an Office Space remake with Nick playing Peter and Shane Gillis as his neighbor Lawrence.

In 2016 i basically decided to so what Nick wants to do in this clip. I became homeless and lived on the street for about a year. At first it was liberating, because in a real way my time was my own -- i could choose to do or not do whatever with my time. but as it went on i realized that my day would still fill up, it just got filled up with the basics which took a lot longer. Cooking, cleaning, trying to stay warm, getting anywhere all became lengthy activities. When i finally almost got hypothermia i decided to get a job and go back to paying rent. Was it worse than working a job? Yeah, in some ways, but in others it was way better. When the effort you're putting in is directly related to your ability to stay alive it has an inherent meaning that wage work lacks. It felt more meaningful even though it was more difficult. I imagine what's Nick is struggling with Is that a lot of what he's doing doesn't feel meaningful to him.

The tunnels revived comedy

he is just describing depression, especially at the beginning. we all feel it. we all know what he means. and its a valid feeling. its a valid way to feel in this world. this might be the most real and gut-wrenchingly true podcast clip ive ever seen in my life 😂 and i cant stop laughing

"But we cannot, we cannot" Adam repeating this out of fear they look unrelatable to their audience. No, Adam, we know how much money you've made and we're fine with it. What we aren't fine with is you trying to hide it, and Nick's honesty about the angst of financial independence is absolutely a good and valuable thing to hear while making him more likeable.

My Boy finally woke out of his sedation and is back to doling out that Heat 🙌

Mental health is really in the gutter when you envy your pet.

Nick “the Spider of Liberation” Mullens

Nick seemed happy during this clip. I don’t even recognize him anymore

This was incredible The answer is to have so much on your plate that you actively want to stay up all night so that tomorrow sucks.

It's like watching Joker split into two separate people

9:45 Nick is 100% right if spiderman were real he would just be a total menace to society.

Nicks back

Listening to a couple millionaires depressed and unfulfilled about their lives is so heartwarming

my man is manically depressed

I actually like that the show is just becoming talk therapy for nick

Funniest bit in this is Adam thinking he had enough testosterone to notice his levels dropping.

This resonated, a rant of the times. Sitting here drawing people with back pains for some social service program - while having back pains myself (which I get from sitting and drawing).

Nick desperately trying to figure how to live as a free man. Adam's advice: "You have to follow the rules."

The problem is that none of this has to do with the modern state of the world, Nick is literally just describing the existential ennui that comes as part of the human condition. Literally everyone's job is absurd and demoralizing in the face of its own futility, and it always has been, yet we continue on as a species. Nobody gets to be the main character and have purpose 'happen' to them, you more or less have to find something yourself. For most people, starting a family is the clearest option, but that's clearly not the best choice for everyone. Finding fulfilment is just the next mental health task you're responsible for after you've found financial security. It's not Israel, or Russia, or China, or Biden, or Trump's fault, it's literally just the fact that you've run out of external pressures to guide any of your actions and now have to make some of your own.

It’s so great to see my best friends out there making good pod again. Let’s see if today’s Patreon keeps the ball rolling!

Just checking in for my daily existential crisis affirmation.... As a deeply closeted homosexual

Fascinating to watch people at their wit's end

It's cool, I'm 36, still at my parents. Got a good job and attending CDL school at the moment so I can have more options and a raise at work, but it's so damn expensive out here in the PNW now that life would change much if I obtain my own place

Society is collapsing. Something new is coming. We're just along for the ride. Enjoy the vidya!

I like when mom and dad get along.

The “synchronicity” of Adam tipping the cup while Nick is lamenting how much of an idiot he and Adam is was 🤌

The quality on this channel is really awesome. I wish Nick or Adam gave it a shoutout so more people can come.

accelerate the end times by not participating in the system. it's quite simple and can be accomplished this year.

Great segment

Nick for president

this isnt even a joke nick needs to find god or go to an ashram or read gay philosophy or whatever because this shit is just sad and unfortunately very relatable

Putting the far right in center left

no one is better at being interrupted than Adam

to become a cat, do the following: 1. reach enlightenment as a human 2. die 3. presto change-o. you're born a kitten.

You are guys are awesome, I hope you have some shows in Asia.

Holy fuck wooOw that last bit about no POLLS seen yet in the USofA about the Gaza-Israeli conflict 🤯👏🏼

I’m still laughing at “at least send me some of those kids teeth”

Nick, give me 500k. Ill build you a pod with a great vr setup. You will own nothing, you will be happy

I love you Nick

I hate myself for enjoying this

Nick speaking for all middle aged men

First time running across this channel. Great takes! I feel hella validated.

i will write either an essay or a book or something about nick mullen in my life. he is, to me, the most interesting person alive. also the funniest. strange how he doesn’t recognise or doesn’t want to recognise what it was that made cum town so great; at the core of it was him. stav was a great direct neural incentive, that instant hilarious laugh, and then adam being an easy punching bag to make material out of. but nick genuinely had a comedic style i have not seen a hint of in anything else (i’ve never seen madtv), and it is- while hilarious- the greatest art of the contemporary world

Go off king

"Joe the plumber, you should be at a war crimes tribunal."

Activating the pre frontal cortex through deep focus could help

this is peak nick

You can absolutely just stop paying personal debt. Fuck this country lmao. "But they'll hurt your credit score" who gives a fuck. Just settled a 5000dollar personal loan for 2200 and I'm paying 20 bucks a month on that. LOL. LMAO, even.

adam is dressed like an extra from the musical “RENT”

Nick, what can I say, you've cracked the code. Adam, yep... yep... Red Dead Redemption 2? Wow, really? Cool.

The Spider of Liberation lol

Someone tell Adam that is a crib mattress. Although, I suspect he’s saying it wrong on purpose. He is one of them after all.

this is literally the south park episode where the handymen become rich.

Nick's right.

Nobody wants to be guilty by association of what it takes to become a global hegemon but the hegemony is the only way to become one of the wealthiest humans in the world purely through conversation with your friends

That was great

Does anyone have the premium rss link? Or an unlisted RU-vid playlist

Nick needs to start a family

We're growing up with you guys too ❤️

8:02 sounds like a dystopia intro awesomness

Nick barely has enough energy to keep his eyes open during the pod, but as soon as he gets to talk about depression and insecurities he's a nuclear bomb

What is this smile spread across Nick's face?

When's the Trump interview?

Let him cook!

gotta love these fools man perfect example of modern society's trifes

They're both just describing the symptoms of low testosterone and cold weather in a large, cramped city

damn sorry to see your alst upload got removed! wish i didn't refresh the page before finishing it

Youre some real ones

Adam's got that mushroom laugh. I didn't hear the whole episode; do they address Adam eating mushrooms so he can laugh incessantly?

I felt that about envying the cat

So true.....all of it....

I don't want to do anything, including nothing.

Jaded Nick may be a little manic but he genuinely cares and that's wholesome. I'm gay btw

How much time does Adam spend in those tunnels?

U guys need to go camping and bring only one electronic device

hahahahahahahahahaha

*there is but only one true Caesar, Nicholas*

Podcast will end with my best friend Nick starting a real life Project Mayhem that gets us all arrested for treason and insurrection.

Nick, now's the time to get into Cyberpunk 2077

❤

Nicks been watching/reading one piece

Yo Nick is smart as hell 💯

This is a real millenial manifesto

Classic c-town

Adam's looking more and more like an old lady

You’re preaching to the choir

These guys are a great encapsulation of western repression. Cannot enjoy anything whatsoever without guilt. Dropping this nonsense about productivity makes you so much happier

Amor Fati?

Im 14 and this is deep

I will be consumed

ahhh..... yeah.... TAF show
