Tahir Moore and Patrick Cloud are running on fumes after a marathon day filming their first independent project — but Dam Internet, You Scary! still has plenty to get into.

They break down what it took to shoot 32 of 41 planned scenes in one day, the cast and crew who stepped up to make it happen, and why creators may be better off making the project themselves instead of waiting for Hollywood to say yes.

Then the internet takes over: a major earthquake hits during surgery in Japan, Tahir and Patrick debate college and practical education in the creator era, a long list of food recalls makes everything in the kitchen feel suspicious, and a Vegas hotel story leaves them wondering where marketing ends and deception begins.

Also in the episode: sexually transmitted Shigella, hygiene debates, a sperm donor lawsuit, a terrifying glass bridge incident, contaminated raw oysters, sushi paranoia, and why one viral video isn't enough to build a sustainable creator career.
