This is Why Podcast Equipment Should Be Illegal

whole goal here, this entire home is >> Let's see if you guys can pick this up. >> Podcasting equipment needs to be outlawed effective immediately. This is a sentiment that if you spend a lot of time on the internet, you probably already agree with. And if you don't, give her 10 minutes. You'll be there, I promise. Podcasts might just be one of humanity's worst creations. At the top, we've got the song Dance Monkey by Tones and I. Then we've got the Netflix show Big Mouth. And then like right there at number three, it's got to be podcast, right? Over the last 5 years, it truly seems like every single person that has ever had a name that is recognizable by anybody just beyond their friends and family has decided that they must have a podcast and it must be the worst thing you've ever watched in your entire life. So, the title of worst podcast ever has had a lot of stiff competition for a long time. We've had many bangers come and go. We had the talk to a podcast right there at the top for a while. Wonder what old Haley's up to these days. Haven't heard much from her recently. Oh, apparently she is doing softcore porn now. That's good, I suppose. Then we had the Ned Fulmer podcast more recently. That was a show, but nothing really quite compares to what you're going to have to watch today. Recently, Benny Blanco and Little Dicky, quite possibly two of the worst people to ever have in the same room together, have decided to start a podcast. And honestly, it's really, really good if you would consider a podcast where you get to stare at Benny Blanco's dirty feet and hear him fart into your ears. A good podcast. But wait, there's more. Not only do you get to listen to Benny Blanco fart, you also get to hear little Dicky talk for the entire podcast about how it's not really a podcast and it's something so much more special. Are you excited yet? I know you're not, but we're going to watch it anyways, so let's not waste any more time. Let's begin. >> Please subscribe. It hasn't started. >> No. Oh my god. Guys, let's let's let's take a step back for a moment. We're not going to jump into a foundational part. Let's talk about what we're even doing. >> Maybe I'm just a cynical piece of and you know, maybe I don't have a whole lot of room to talk as a commentary YouTuber, but I'm going to do it anyways. I find this sort of like banter very uh narcissistic feels like a strong word, but I feel like it kind of works. Like, how self-important do you really have to feel to think that people are going to be entertained by listening to you figure out how to make a podcast? It's like, what do you mean? Let's talk about what we're even doing. You probably should have figured that out beforehand. You know, maybe before the cameras started rolling, but I'm not a podcast expert. So, what do I know? >> What's the rules for gas piss? >> Do whatever you want. Okay. The whole goal here, this entire home is >> Let's see if you guys can pick this up. >> All right. going to interject here quickly before we have to listen to that. I feel like this is in the same vein. What do you mean? What are the rules on gas and piss? You you go to the bathroom before or after you film the podcast. Like everybody in this room is a celebrity who should be familiar with the entertainment industry. It's like, what do you mean? Are you guys really that out of touch and you think so highly of yourself that you think people want you this uncut, this uncensored? It's like, no. Nobody wants to hear you fart, Benny Blanco. What is wrong with you? Also, why are your dirty ass feet in my face? >> I like that. >> That was just a little >> It was a little squeak. Like a little man. >> The whole go I didn't realize you were going to be the dictator today. >> All right. >> Well, you sit down and just relax. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Let's just talk about Let's just pretend that we're hanging out like we normally do. You never even hang out anymore. >> I was going to say, >> are we going to have to pretend? >> No. >> No. Just sit your sit down and let's just hang out. Do you think anyone will like it? >> No, they won't. And I don't like that you're asking that question sarcastically, Benny, because no, nobody will. Again, these are the worst kinds of podcasts where a bunch of people get together and they convince themselves that they are so damn interesting that people are just dying to be a fly on the wall in the rooms where they have their friendly hangouts. So, they just mic themselves up and talk aimlessly. Nobody wants a podcast like that. That's what hanging out with your own friends is for. >> Sure. Absolutely. >> Actually, yes. I do to to be honest. I really think that we're living in a time fortunately or unfortunately that if like Friends or Seinfeld came out and impacted society to the fullest extent, it would actually be better served to be in this multimedia new format. Notice how I'm not calling it a podcast. Not a podcast. We'll have to figure out a different word cuz I don't want it. It's not a podcast. It's so much more than a podcast. >> Oh my god. I'm going to get through like 5 minutes of this before I call it quits. Normally, I try and go through the entirety of a podcast if I'm going to review it, but I honestly just don't think I have it in me today. Comparing this to two of the most influential TV shows ever made as if what you guys are doing is about to flip the script on media. You're filming a podcast, little dicky. I don't know what you think this is, but it's a podcast. >> Okay. So, you know, when when people consume podcasts, they usually watch the clips online and they're really kind of stocky and boring and there's like a microphone sitting there and the frame sucks. Like, I don't want it to be. Now, if it was up to me, if we were really going to reinvent it the way that I wish I could, everything would look like the zone of interest. It would look like a like I guess it's a Holocaust movie, but an A24. >> You want us >> because that movie was shot with cameras rigged in a house and it looks so But I don't know that it would really travel online. Well, >> genuinely, what the are these guys talking about? We are reaching levels of pretentious that I did not know to be possible. First of all, the idea that somebody being in a setting with a microphone makes the podcast boring is absurd. Again, as if they're reinventing the wheel like every other LA based podcast is not set in some quirky boho looking house. Also, I feel like the implication that when most people say they watch podcasts, they are actually just watching clip compilations is completely wrong. That kind of kills out the whole utility that a lot of people love about podcasts, and that's that you don't actually have to watch them. You can just listen. Anyways, uh we're going to start speed running this bad boy because for the next like 10 minutes, all they're talking about is just how they want to do the podcast. So, either they really did go into this with absolutely no planning whatsoever, or a second option that I think might honestly be more likely and even worse, they like scripted this whole like, oh, we're going to act like we don't know what we're doing kind of and it's going to be so natural. It's going to be so organic. And honestly, that's worse than just making a podcast with no plans. Going out of your way to make it seem like you don't have plans as your podcast idea is exactly why podcast equipment needs to be illegal. >> Did you ever not wear pants because you didn't like how it shaped your penis? >> That is a 37year-old man sitting on the ground asking another 37year-old man that question. What the does that even mean? Like they're trying so hard to make this seem like it's just one big funny effortless candid conversation and they are failing miserably. >> I'd like to bring a few dead guys on. >> Okay, fine. Let's each go around. One dead guest we would love to have on. >> Okay, Kristen, you start. First dead guest you'd love to have on. >> I'll say the first one. >> Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I wonder if there would be any value in having Hitler on. >> That was mine. That was literally mine. >> That is a beautiful thing that just happened. >> That was mine. >> That's friendship. This really writes itself, huh? Leave it to these three losers to all say that if they could bring any dead person onto the podcast across the board, they'd all bring Hitler. The worst part is is they're only saying that because they think it's funny. It's like, really, you bring Hitler onto the podcast? A guy who was famously very secretive about his views? Like, what are you talking about? What value would there be to bringing Hitler onto a podcast? This is just the worst brand of humor. Anyways, uh I mean this genuinely. I went through the entirety of the rest of the podcast and there was just nothing worthwhile. It is truly that stale. They kind of settle into it and I think they like stop trying to be performative. And I thought that's what you'd want, but oh god, it's not because they really just start sitting around talking like they're not being recorded, like they're just hanging out as friends and it's just not entertaining. It might be entertaining for you if you subscribe to a very specific brand of millennial humor, but even then it's like it's just boring. It's not engaging. They are just talking about stuff that really only applies to them or like people who are extremely famous. And it's just not engaging. It's not fun to watch. Mr. Dicki might have been on to something. You might not want to call this a podcast because I think it's something worse. It's more akin to like what you'd expect to happen if somebody left their phone open in their pocket and they accidentally started recording as they hung out with their group of friends that is made up entirely of people who like to do corny bits and yell. So, uh, whatever that's called. Well, guys, what are your thoughts? Like I said, uh, there's a lot of stiff competition when it comes to who is putting out the biggest poop sandwich of a podcast, but I feel like we've got a pretty good idea of who's at the top now. Honestly, I can't really see this going too far because it doesn't seem like anybody is interested in this. And I mean, like, how could you be? Seriously, it's an hour of them just talking about absolutely nothing. There's nothing to latch on to. There's nothing to engage you. I just don't understand why anybody who is not like in a super unhealthy parasocial relationship with any of these people would give a single about anything that was said in this podcast or sorry, can't call it a podcast, whatever it's going to be called. If more than 10 episodes of this podcast ever see the light of day, I will be genuinely surprised. I guess we'll see. See you. Hey, hey, hey.

Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky have recently started a podcast, and it is genuinely terrible. Unless, of course, you like to watch see Benny Blanco's dirty feet, and him farting. previous video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWUsBe16zgs follow me on instagram!: https://www.instagram.com/oohgust/ follow me on twitter!: https://twitter.com/oohgust my gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ducktheaugust subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/augusttheduck/?sub_confirmation=1 outro song creds: https://www.youtube.com/@prodgoostavo https://www.youtube.com/@dadood3652
