Chapter 1: How did Ryan Burton build his YouTube career from scratch?
Four years of going to Drexel University, Noah and I just were going in the libraries, filming those videos, doing skits, experimenting with all different types of concepts. And we went from about 13,000 subscribers our freshman year to about 5 million by the time we graduated.

Thank you so much for coming on We're Out of Time.
Thank you for having me. Dude, I saw... the funniest video that you did where you're in a college library with your earphones on right but it isn't plugged into the computer and you're blasting the gnarliest song in front of women
Oh, hell no.
Oh, hell no. Oh, no. And I just started rolling.

Chapter 2: What challenges did Ryan face with early success and mental health?
I was literally laughing out loud.
What was that like in... You know, that it's surprising how that concept, the blasting inappropriate music in the library, that is like this generational hit that I would say basically gave me a career because I was already doing YouTube before that. But man, that was fun. I was in college. My friend and I had our YouTube channel and I was just like.
I saw someone do something similar and I was like, I think we can make this a little funnier. And we just did it. And it was like, it just exploded. It was a really fun and exciting, and it didn't feel like work. And people still talk about it to this day. It's really an incredible thing. So yeah.
It's the funniest, you're the funniest creator that I've ever seen. Ever.
Chapter 3: How can physical movement and real connection improve mental health?
I appreciate that. Those are the best videos and you have the best YouTube channel I have ever seen. Ever.
It's sick. You must not watch a lot of YouTube. There's a lot of YouTubers better than me, but I will take that compliment.
That's very self-effacing.
I think I am self-deprecating.
Yeah, that's okay. You're the best, and you've always been the best. This guy's so good, it's disorienting. All right, let's move on. Now, the other videos that you do, I did not see.
Mm-hmm.
But that's the one I wish I did.

Chapter 4: What insights does Ryan share about emotional intelligence in relationships?
Okay? Because I have it in my mind. Correct me if I'm wrong. Okay. You go to all these colleges, right? And you interview these college students to show how absolutely stupid they are.
Who's on the $20 bill?
Oh, my God.
What the?
It's a president. A president. Whose name is?
Benjamin Franklin.
That's correct.
God, I love you.

Chapter 5: What advice does Richard give for people in their 20s?
I love you. This is this. If you ever want to know the moment I fell in love with you is right now. Perfect. Because that is my thing, man. I mean, a lot of these kids today are so stupid. It's painful. Now, I didn't say you have bad souls. I just said you're stupid. Okay. Because they get indoctrinated into this horse shit. Okay. Yeah. So.
Tell me about one that was that went so that was so funny.
Chapter 6: How does Ryan define 'failure to launch' and its impact on young adults?
It's like one of your favorites.
You know, I can... There's so many moments of those videos. So I'll do it at... We just recently did it at the fair. I believe it's the Orange County Fair. Those you'll get sort of the least intelligent people. They're already... It's bad on the college campuses. It's almost even worse when you go to the fair. But they're sort of very comparable. When you go to the fair. It's awesome.
But... They still have fairs.
Believe it or not. And essentially, when I go there... There's all these different moments of people that are so... We can use the word dumb. Everyone in the comments thinks that it's fake.
Chapter 7: What are the essential tools for personal growth and stability?
And they're like, these people have to be capping. They're clip farming. They're whatever. No. And I don't even have to cut out... They get some of the answers right, but they get most of them wrong. And it's really... And sometimes they'll be in competition of... who's the dumbest, so I'll talk to them and be like, hey guys, so who here's the dumbest? And they're like, me, me, me.
And I'm like, there's no way that you guys should be this excited about being the dumbest. But that's where we are as a society. And doing it makes me feel a bit more intelligent. Everyone in the comments is always like, ah, I feel smarter after watching this. But it's really, it's fun. You know, people... People just... I could talk about this forever, but it's fascinating.
Chapter 8: How can one find meaning and fulfillment in life?
You have to witness it with your own eyes to really see, like, oh, my God. And then people are like, these people can vote? This is insane. Right. And I'm like, oh, yeah, it is insane. Holy shit. The worst is that they can procreate. Yes. And that's the thing. It's always the ones who... have the least intelligence that do the most procreation. And it's the really- Mix in a rubber.
Right, and it's always the smart, calculated, really intelligent people that don't end up having eight kids. Or at least that's what I think.
No, that's a fact. Why you don't have eight kids?
Yeah, there's a reason I don't have any kids, but then people... You're 27. Yeah. Okay, you don't have kids yet because you're 27 and you're living your life. But then there's other people who I know who I would put... I think they're a little bit less intelligent than me and they have six. And I'm like, how can you afford that?
You ever look at your friends that are really stupid and just like from the gate just start dropping little thoughtlets around like seeds and just like, you're not going to have kids, are you, dude?
right just just kind of help the gene pool out for the country that's the thing if you're if you're not smart a lot of times you don't know that you're not smart that's even worse than that when you're not smart and you think you're a genius yeah the worst that's that happens a lot too and usually the smartest people claim to be the dumbest or they or they claim to not know everything they have the most humility and they have the most that's right wisdom that's right uh
Yeah. It's there. I'm sure there's some quote. It's like the, I'm not going to try to butcher some quote that I saw on Pinterest, but yeah.
But I still want to know before I get into any of these questions, I want to know the, what was the one that you love the most? What was the, what was, who is the stupidest kid? That's what I really want to know.
Oh, that's a good one. That's a good, there's a lot. Let me think for two seconds. Who was the dumbest? Yeah, there was probably, like, even recently. I can't remember which kid it was, but there were kids that couldn't do, like, two divided by two. There were kids at the most recent video. I said, how many wheels are on an 18-wheeler semi-trailer? Shut the fuck up. And we just posted that one.
