  Ryan Broderick, we have huge paradigm shifting news here at Panic World.

• 0:07Ryan Broderick?

  I love when a paradigm shifts.

• 0:09Speaker 00

  But to really like, set the table for where that news is, I have an important question for you. What's the worst dumb thing you've seen online in your life? Like, not a beheading video, or like bonsai kittens? Like, it was stupid and it lingers, festers for you. I can give you my example, if that would help.

• 0:29Ryan Broderick?

  What's your example?

• 0:31Speaker 00

  So, I saw somebody quote tweet Laura Lumer, I forget what, but like an idiot. I looked at the comments and someone wrote, "Christians learn to get along with Jews and Muslims? Why can't they just get along with one another?" And like, that just never-

• 0:49Ryan Broderick?

  I'm not sure they did. I'm not sure that's true, Laura.

• 0:53Speaker 00

  It was a commenter, but like, exactly, it's like, I should never know that person's thought, that person's seemingly sincere thought. That is just like, not a thing my human brain should ever be aware of, what this, this random person thinks. And I will be turning over in my brain for like, in like, the ambient times, I just remember a stupid comment I read, and this is like, one that will stick with me, where I'll be like, "Who is this man? And how did he live to get here?" And like, that's gonna haunt me. So, what's yours?

• 1:30Ryan Broderick?

  I mean, I guess like, the answer would be the horse electrolytes guy? But like, that was like, it's not really dumb. Seems like a smart move.

• 1:38Speaker 00

  What's a horse electrolyte?

• 1:40Ryan Broderick?

  To eat horse electrolytes? You see this guy?

• 1:43Speaker 00

  No.

• 1:44Ryan Broderick?

  He was eating a bucket of horse food.

• 1:47Ryan Broderick?

  Uh, he was... You didn't see this? Okay, yeah, I guess it was... I guess it was last year? Yeah, it was last September, um, it was an ex-user.

• 2:00Ryan Broderick?

  There's an ex-user that goes by the name Pig Shit on Balls. And he was eating a bucket of horse food called Apple a Day. That was, it's like electrolytes that you feed a horse. And obviously, a lot of people were curious about this. And so he did a bunch of blood tests at the hospital and it seems like it was fine. So I can't really say that's dumb. It seems like actually he figured out a great hack, which is that he eats horse food.

• 2:27Speaker 00

  So our big news is that here at Panacrod, we're now a diet life hack podcast. And Ryan and I are going to go on a big adventure of trying some, some cutting edge diet ideas of only eating barnyard animal meals.

• 2:42Ryan Broderick?

  Yeah, so the, the user who ate the horse electrolytes wrote, never buying Gatorade again. Five pound bucket of horse electrolytes from Tractor Supply. Never getting hungover again or being iron deficient. I am the hashtag boss. Sipping on half a horse dose and I feel great. My skin is tingling.

• 3:03Speaker 00

  You can get a little high. You can get electrolytes. It is very hot out. Yeah.

• 3:08Ryan Broderick?

  I do love that this guy was apparently buying enough Gatorade that he was like, I need an alternative for the Gatorade that I'm drinking. Which is, it, I guess it's some, it looks like protein powder, but it's for horses.

• 3:21Speaker 00

  Does the website say anything about, about non-horse intake?

• 3:26Ryan Broderick?

  It's a great question, Grant. Let's check it out. So I'm currently on chewy.com, which is a website for buying animal food. And the five pound bucket, $15. That's actually pretty good.

• 3:44Speaker 00

  That is so, I, I, I spend $2 every time I go to the bodega and get a Gatorade.

• 3:50Ryan Broderick?

  So if you were to buy seven Gatorades.

• 3:53Speaker 00

  I do. In like, that's like two weeks of Gatorades.

• 3:56Ryan Broderick?

  You're drinking a Gatorade every other day.

• 3:58Speaker 00

  Yeah, that sounds about right.

• 3:59Ryan Broderick?

  Okay, well, this is five pounds of electrolyte. And apparently it's for, it's, it's accord, according to this, it's safe for all life stages, which I guess is like the stages of like a horse's life.

• 4:17Ryan Broderick?

  It says precautions for use in horses only.

• 4:22Ryan Broderick?

  There's a section called feeding instructions and it says for a thousand pound horse, we recommend one half ounce daily for horses at rest in a cool environment or for horses performing light work at normal temperatures. For heavy training, which is the kind I think that you do, right? You do, you do CrossFit or whatever. So for heavy training in normal temperatures or moderate work in hot climates, feed one and one half ounces daily.

• 4:46Speaker 00

  So do you want to say what our big news is?

• 4:49Ryan Broderick?

  So yeah, Grant, our big news is that Panic World is joining the Courier Newsroom Media Network and we're launching video. So now when I talk about how you can buy a five pound bucket of horse electrolytes, we can show it to you on screen.

• 5:08Speaker 00

  What everyone has been asking for. They've been saying, can we see Ryan eat horse paste? What this means for audio? Absolutely nothing.

• 5:18Ryan Broderick?

  I am someone who really likes listening to podcasts with my ears, not my eyes, because I don't think podcasters are particularly attractive to look at. So I totally understand, but you will be able to watch Panic World on YouTube and Spotify. The Courier YouTube and Spotify channel, Courier HQ. Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy more clothes, I guess.

• 5:42Speaker 00

  Yeah. At my, at my new email, Grant@garbage day dot email.

• 5:49Speaker 00

  If people can inform us what it means when people say you should learn what your colors are or what patterns look good on, there's things that Ryan and I have to think about that are obviously very stressful.

• 6:00Ryan Broderick?

  Grant messaged me the other day asking for photos of me in different angles and lights. And I said, why would you need that?

• 6:07Speaker 00

  Ryan just didn't respond.

• 6:09Ryan Broderick?

  I didn't respond.

• 6:11Speaker 00

  Yeah, you can, you can send us that now. And in all honesty, this is really big for us. It lets us know like, show is going to keep happening. We gotta keep making more of these things. I get to keep asking Ryan, promise he doesn't want to answer. And it allows us to take the show where we always wanted the show to go, which was video, and we are working with people who like the show and are not trying to to change it. So we are pretty thrilled here. Um, you don't have to do anything, but if you're listening on on Spotify, you can now look at us on Spotify.

• 6:52Ryan Broderick?

  Panic World. It's a show about how-

• 6:56Speaker 00

  They're already listening. We don't need to pitch it.

• 6:58Ryan Broderick?

  Panic World. It's a show about how the internet warps our minds. What is it? Our minds-

• 7:05Speaker 00

  Our minds, our culture, and eventually, reality.

• 7:08Ryan Broderick?

  Panic World. It's a show about how the internet warps our minds, our culture, and eventually, reality. And now, we're on video. Thanks to Courier Newsroom, our new corporate overlords.
