What is the origin of the 'Chungus' meme and how did it take over your lexicon?
If you catch me really working towards a clip in this episode, please like, don't worry. I need one.
And I know I hate when you work towards clips.
I need a clip. I need a clip. I've written. I have so much shit for today. It's all talkable. I just want to go back and forth with it. But if you see me doing that, like know that I'm aware.
One. Hello, Brooke. How are you?
Hi, my chungi.
Hey, chungo. Chunga and chungo. If you're in a gendered speaking language world.
Chung and chunget.
Chung and chunget for here. Chunga. Chungo. If you were like an ah, oh.
Chungus and chungarella.
Huh?
I said chungus and chungarella.
Chungus and Chungarella. I'll see you at midnight, Chungarella.
I can't stop. It's so horrible.
I know. I've seen it from afar. It's special.
It's really not good.
I already did like F-A-C.
You went through your Chungus.
Yeah, F-A-C life.
Yeah. No, my Chungus hit me over the weekend.
You were like a late onset Chungus.
I have late onset Chungus.
Oof.
And now I can't stop. And at Friendsgiving, we were playing Quiplash and obviously every answer was something Chungus. And then we had to outlaw Chungus for the next round and no one could say anything. Because there's nothing to say when you can't say Chungus.
What? What do you say?
What could you possibly say if not Chungus? There's nothing to say.
What did people... Stupid, dumbass, fat-ass life.
What was life for Chungus?
What?
What was life for fucking my Chungus life?
Well, we'll know next week because it will have moved on completely.
I will never. I will not be moving on from from my Chungus life anytime soon. How did it start?
Chungus, we went. Oh, wait, you were gone the week of Chungus. It was Maggie was. Yeah, that was the Chungus. And we looked it up. But the Chungus. Well, it's funny. Yeah.
Well, how do you fuck my Chungus life start?
I think Chungus was just like a brain rot thing, 6'7 type shit. And then it took a life of its own with the Bugs Bunny.
Who did it? Like, it just took one person to say, fuck my Chungus life. And then we were all fucking our Chungus lives.
When you know, you know.
When you know, you know.
If something's rolling off your tongue in that kind of way, you're going to pick it up and put it in your lexicon.
Totally. Totally. The reference is Big Chungus. Variations have been trended on Twitter and X in 2024. Nice. Cool. Oh, cool.
We're just like, as usual, going to be about a year behind on these things that people thought were funny and they've moved on from. It is so funny. By the way, I was thinking about this morning. I was talking about Crashing Out. The way that Crashing Out now is just like, oh, it's Crashing Out. But do you remember the episode when we were like... walk me through what you think a crashing out could be. Like there was a time recently when we were like learning about crashing out.
Right. That's very true. And now it's just part of the lexicon. And like, it's kind of annoying when some people say it. So obviously chungus will get annoying too at some point when someone annoying says it. But for now, I'm like so disgustingly, obesely chungus.
You're chunged out.
Yeah.
You're chung out, chung out, chung out.
Yeah.
Okay. I have to say something that just happened to me this morning.
You may.
So I'm walking down the street and I'm having my coffee and, um, I hear a voice from behind me and I'm like, I know that voice. I've known this voice for years. This is someone I've known for years. And then I was like, I'm not in a place where I can stop and talk. I was coming back because we were recording and I had a smoothie and I had a coffee. So it was imperative that I got home quickly.
Yes.
And I was like, this is not like a talking experience. If this is someone that I that I can't place, it's not like a close friend, but it's like it's close enough where I recognize just their voice and I'm walking and we are block, block, block. And I'm like, I need to turn around and see who this is.
But they didn't say Connor.
No.
Oh, I thought you were. Okay. This person's on the phone.
This person's on the phone. They're walking close enough behind me where I can hear the conversation.
