Did You Reddit?

You know that one movie about a group of ideological rebels who live in the deep desert, and whose sole mission is the terrorize the government by blowing up the biggest government structure? Yeah you know, Star Wars. See, when you rethink about it, Luke Skywalker isn't cool is he? That's what r/empiredidnothingwrong thinks, and you know what, I think the DYR group tends to agree.

On April 1st 2017, something remarkable happened. While the Internet lords of Reddit always create social experiments to hype their loyal anons, this year was different somehow. With only a 1000x1000 pixel canvas, and a few strict rules, Reddit created one of the most powerful and sociologically interesting pieces of art we've ever seen, and a landmark moment in Internet lore. Place dawned wars, allegiances, memes, a basic good vs. evil struggle against the eternal void that is 4chan, and more impressively than probably anything, overshadowed the premier of the third season of Rick & Morty. That dear listeners, is a feat. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, DYR discusses the often derided sub r/theredpill. AKA, we give listeners the sickest possible tips and tricks for picking up babes without them even knowing it. For those unfamiliar with the revolutionary sci-fi flick 'The Matrix', the Red Pill is the chose to see things as they really are, instead of as the falsified society likes to tell you. In this case, it's about social norms with women. So, this sub is filled with amazing advice for how to successfully talk women into dating you while simultaneously lowering their self-esteem. What's the connection to the Matrix? Yeah, we don't know either. Let's talk about gender issues, shall we?

*PLOT BLOWER ALERT. In this episode, we talk about the new, highly-touted HBO Documentary "Tickled". It's a completely bizarre documentary about an even more bizarre fetish - tickling. So, we made a very shallow attempt to understand why people voluntarily subject themselves to Tickle Torture. Which of course spirals into itsyerdad discussing hi preferred method for torturing terrorists, and of course, Hentai. It's all very confusing. This episode brought to you by Home Box Office. RIPish David D'amato. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's a special place where all of Reddit's most accomplished conspiracy theorists are praised for uncovering the many important blunders of the new world order; r/topmindsofreddit. Here, reddit's jocks lambast melodramatic nerds. Or, maybe you think of it as reddit's REAL top minds, untopminding the other top minds. Either way, Heelys are the best, Chicos is a wonderful place to buy men's teeshirts, and apparently grown men jerggin from the window seat is a thing. Who knew?

Nuclear weapons are horrifying, and there's always the constant threat of us bombing each other with them. Basically the world is in a constant state of Nuclear prison dilemma. For all the lucky souls living in Downey when the big North Korean blast hits, how will you survive? Will three-titted women become America's most valuable commodity? Will Alex Jones finally be considered the prophet he claims to be? Also, u/dogboobes and Alec Ibay still aren't dating. If you're listening to this Alec, please be delicate with our sweet boobes' heart. She's a delicate sensitive lady.

This week we address an important question that's been burning at our collective American core since exactly 1989 - are we as a society, down with the clown? While they may get a bad rep, Juggalos are actually an inclusive group of killer clowns and hatchet touting ratchet babes. Granted u/itsyerdad, u/myfreeday, and u/dogboobes have never been to the gathering, and can probably only name 2-4 songs off of the Great Milenko, they've all gained respect and admiration for ICP's dedicated fanbase. Plus, with any luck, u/dogboobes's application to Mike's Sausage Castle will be accepted and she will claim the royal throne left vacant by ratchet regi, the most ratchet Juggalette in the world. Also, u/itsyerdad has a panic attack during Get Out. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

PLOT BLOWER ALERT HBO came out with a great documentary sometime in the not so distant past, so we decided to dig into its bizarro origin story, the Internet's longest running campfire horror story, Slenderman. If you're unfamiliar with Slenderman, he's an unusually tall and gaunt CPA looking fellow with pure white skin and the absence of a face. You may mistake him for the pasty man who handles your taxes, but the core difference is that Bart in accounting doesn't steal kids and drag them aimlessly into the forest towards his meme mansion. Or maybe he does, we don't know Bart. We also talk about Slenderman's chic brother Trenderman and beating up u/itsyerdad's friend Greg. This episode brought to you by Toblerone and Home Box Office.

Do you know which berries to eat when your cell phone dies during a hike? What is the correct grammar to use when yelling at a rogue black bear? At what point should you kill yourself to survive the humiliation of drinking your own piss? These are the important questions that you should know how to answer when faced with a wilderness survival situation, and the kind of things you might learn on r/survival. Plus, u/itsyerdad is a not so secret ageist, u/dogboobes is a bronze medal winning cheese curdist, and u/myfreeday might be the last remaining TV writer in hollywood.

This week, we talk about our favorite 4th grade science meme, r/trebuchetmemes. For those unfamiliar with the act of launching a 90kg payload over 300 meters, a trebuchet is a medieval siege weapon far superior to a catapult, and an instant meme factory. Also, we discuss the tactics of medieval sieges, the physics of launching witches into the women's march, and requiring young mothers to watch Lebron James highlights reels before deciding to get an abortion. Powerful stuff ladies and gents. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we discuss some mind-blowing facts, from Reddit's home for mind-blowing facts, r/BlowIt. Then, we get on the topic of the time space continuum, string-theory, and u/DogBoobes's fart doctor, Dr. John Feelgood Stamos. Also, u/myfreeday talks about special sand from Saturn, and u/itsyerdad didn't know that males have tastebuds on their testicles. Don't be a dick listeners, you didn't know either.

Yep, our new president/realityTV host's inauguration isn't the only disaster we're discussing this week. In this episode, we reflect on AMA, and a few of the trainwrecks that are celebrated on r/AMAdisasters. For some reason Woody Harrelson is basically the mascot of the sub, so we talk a little about that. Then we talk about Wyclef Jean and Haiti. Then, some other stuff. It's really captivating. It's about the Internet. John Rocker is an American hero. The president of the United States used to be the host of a reality TV show. Everything is just fine.

Hey mouthbreathers, we're back. It's 2017. Time to get new swords, from TrueSwords, and then talk about them for 20 minutes on the air. If you want to hear a bit about the insane quality and absolutely criminal good deal we got on our XXXMAS presents, then listen in (at the beginning). If you're tired of our nonstop, obsessive banter about the Internet's foremost purveyor of antiquated weaponry, then skip ahead to around the 23 minute mark, where we discuss r/thetruthishere, Native American ghost stuffs, and a multitude of other ghastly things that none of us really believe in. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

ItsYerDad and MyfreeDay don't know anything about ladies, so we consult r/askwomen and our inhouse ladyperson, dogboobes, about all the important questions that we're constantly juggling in our caveman brains. You know, stuff like deck size, flashlight ethics, and peen. Then we talk about some really gross stuff, and at some point we discuss hotels. This pod brought to you by the Knights Inn in Fresno. We'll keep the lights on. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So these last few weeks have totally blown, yadayada. We get it, everyone is talking about how weird everything feels right now. So while we probably should have maybe talked a bit about one of the many politically charged subreddits, we decided to go a little peripheral and discuss r/nottheonion, a sub dedicated to the absurdity of modern life and the documentation of it. As the name suggests, these headlines are not the Onion, even though they damn well seem like they are. It's all totally absurd. Almost as absurd as the United States electing the host of celebrity apprentice to be the leader of the free world. Nothing matters anymore guys.

It's the day we've all been looking forward to, the day that ends the 2016 US election, AKA the worst reality TV show ever. So to celebrate what is inevitably the end of times as we know it, DYR is paying homage to the woman known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans, the ultimate blind babe, and this year's winner of God's fantasy apocalypse tournament, Baba Vanga. If all goes according to Baba's conversations with the Vimfam alien race, then America's going to collapse sometime in the next few months and we're all going to have sex with animals in the mid 2100s. Here's hoping. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's that time of year again everybody, when you put yesternight's leftover skrimp in the wicker basket on your porch to feed the pockets of tiny denny, the day old skrimp boy. If not, you run the risk of hearing that familiar pitter patter or greasy fingers on your windows, and the voice of little Denny politely asking for his beloved skrimps. This is just one example of the truly horrifying stories you can read on r/nosleep, one of Reddit's most popular subreddits, and a home for creatively written horror stories. Happy Halloween everyone; may tiny denny and his highway of cats pass above you unfettered on this ghastly night.

After a few weeks of nonstop life-changing events, including u/itsyerdads never-ending buffet-sized octopus feast in Greece, and the birth of u/myfreeday's new kid, the DYR crew is back. This week, we dig into listener u/hoefauxsho's email-in request r/JesusChristReddit, where Reddit's most neckbeardy, Cheeto-finger comments are roasted for public-humilation-sake. If ever something makes you say "Jesus Christ, Reddit..." in awe, disgust, or sheer bewilderment, it probably belongs on this subreddit. If ever something holy and sacred like our lord and savior makes you say "Jesus Christ, Reddit..." it probably doesn't belong there. However, before we get into any of that stuff, we spend a hefty twenty minutes discussing Ken Bone, society's sweet boy, who openly admitted he wants to see Jennifer Lawrence's butthole because he's a man of the people. Stay defiantly neutral and egg-shaped Ken Bone. For America's sake. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice a

What if North Korea decided to put their military money where their mouths are and actually bomb America? What if Donald Trump was actually voted into presidency and then revealed that it was all a fantastic marketing ploy for a new White House-themed reality TV show every Thursday at 8:00pm EST (5:00pm PST)? What if u/myfreeday's wife gave birth to baby Frank "freeway" Freeday live on the pod? These are all the kind of questions that deserve quantifiable, serious speculation on r/futurewhatif.

Almost every episode, the DYR gang ends the hour by hitting the random button on Reddit. And just as often, someone gets a subreddit dedicated solely to a small town or city somewhere in the world. So, this episode we're dedicating entirely (almost) to the subreddit for Fresno, California. Or as you may know it, home of VISA, nightcrawlers, political assassinee John Lang, and the 2009 BBC documentary "The City Addicted to Crystal Meth". Really powerful stuff guys.
