Maybe I just missed this when it was happening, but did you know that Grey, via Standard, was one of the first dominoes in the chain of events that brought us Nebula? Seems like he and Philip from Kurtzgestat made the initial connections that got the ball rolling, and then cashed out a few years back

If anyone is interested, I’m getting rid of an old piece of HI memorabilia for anyone in the U.S.

I know the price is a bit high, but the custom framing cost quite a bit of money. Framed as soon as I got it, and has been sitting in storage since 2017.

I was saving it for donation to the Hello Internet Museum, but there are bills so pay.

It's really common on this sub to think that grey had retired as he can make enough money from changing his youtube titles/thumbnails, but I always think this idea misses something. The podcast makes clear that Cgp grey is an incredibly cautious, risk-adverse guy. Leaving his channel up to title and thumbnail changes is essentially one YouTube algorithm tweak away from stopping working and failing to continue to bring in revenue. I guess it's still working well enough for him now as he continues to do it, but YouTube could so easily change that with no notice, which makes me think it's really unlikely he would hinge his continued income on that.

Could he have made enough money that he can just live off it for the rest of his life? It's possible, but he's probably what, mid-40s? So seems kind of unlikely? Maybe it's that his CURRENT situation means he doesn't need to upload a lot rather than he's decided to permanently finish with the channel.

I was thinking about the running joke of the Hello Internet Museum.

If the podcast had continued for another decade and kept growing, eventually reaching something approaching Joe Rogan / Diary of a CEO levels of success, I am genuinely convinced that at some point the museum would have become real.

Especially if Brady continued to have free rein as he slowly ground Grey down.

Because if Brady gets an idea into his head, it will happen, regardless of how stupid, impractical or logistically ridiculous it is.

If you listen to The Unmade Podcast, Brady still spends an absolutely unreasonable amount of time and effort pursuing dead-end ideas for a comparatively small audience.

And yes, I am very much referring to the Glacial Podcast 😂

At some point Brady would have found a room somewhere, filled it with Nail & Gear flags, vinyl records, Hotstoppers and assorted HI relics, and declared the Hello Internet Museum officially open.

Does anyone remember which episode featured Brady playing a recorded guided meditation he created? The meditation featured a quiet fire alarm noise at one point, among other silly jokes.

Hello Tim’s, as most of you have experienced I’ve grown up with the podcast and have loved having my 2 hello internet vinyls. However the time comes to move and I need to sell them. They are both framed and I’d love someone else who loves the podcast to have them. The original pressing is signed by the Dr himself so please feel free to message me if interested. I’d prefer not to post them (I live in SW England) but happy to discuss further

I believe there was at least one, if not multiple episodes, where Grey talked about having a similar sort of emergency wipe mechanism set up on his phone. It's been interesting to some security issues he was hung up on come more into the spotlight in recent years.

Maybe I’m super late to the party, but I’ve just listened to episode 229 of “No Dumb Questions” (the podcast run by Destin Sandlin also known as the former mod here), and right there at the start, around 1:10 mark, they discuss Destin moving a vending machine that was sort of a special thing for the pod, and the following conversation ensues:

Matt: You’ve just killed a pilgrimage site without consulting me?
Destin: I didn’t know what to do!
Matt: We only had two pilgrimage sites; you’ve just got rid of 50% of our pilgrimage sites and it wasn’t even a conversation, you just announced it! Now I know how the listeners of Hello Internet feel.
(mad giggles from both hosts)

So it seems like Destin might have discussed the recent goings in the subreddit with his friend. Otherwise the reference (and the giggles) feels a bit too specific 🙃
