38:06 I put the red code through a shift cipher then a ceaser cipher. The code translates to "WE ARE A FAMILY"

I always think about the fact that I have a chronic allergic fungal sinusitis, meaning I can’t be infected with any other mold or fungi. So I’d survive both the cordyceps virus and this. It makes me feel better sometimes

Mat, Flour is just how what was tossed was described. I think the fungus just looks like flour and he just had a bag of the stuff tossed in his face.

real missed opportunity to write "(happen't matpat noises)" at 26:52

Love how the dream man is just an edited photo of the "have you seen this man?" Creepypasta, where the same face appears in thousands of unrelated ppls dreams.

Personally I interpreted the "a guy threw flour on me" as that not actually being flour, but rather the spores this man was releasing. That's where it connects to the other case because in the antopsy they said they thought a gas had been released but really it was spores. I can't remember if they mentioned the color but I always imagined the gas to be a pale gray, kinda like flour.

The code at 18:54 says "SMILE" in Hexadecimal. The E is cut off, but E in hexadecimal is "45"

"My friends say I look a lot happier recently. I am not. Behind this forced smile I am suffering"- Unknown That quote hit hard man

Ash fan club unite!

53 4D 49 4C 45 S M I L E Also, apparently without the last 5, someone used a cypher to get "We are family". That could be intentional, but man what a deep cut circumstance to create, or even notice.

four minutes and thirty seconds in, and matpat who is retired is STILL teaching me more than school itself. AND ITS ABOUT CHOCOLATE!!! i will never stop loving gtl lol

You're never fully dressed without a smile.

Can we PLEASE talk about that awesome sweater he’s wearing? The colors and flowers are so pretty!

"How do you ensure your safety outside?" "Wear sunscreen." (EDIT 1: OMG 930 LIKES???)

When MatPat made the joke I thought Ash was going to say they felt "s-poorly" about it 😂

how can the "you do realize that lunch is the most important meal of the day" guy be missing lunch??

33:16 Microbiology major here, just have to correct when he distinguishes fungi from viruses and bacteria as living, bacteria are also living things, they’re prokaryotes and are very much living cells. Based on what you go on to say, I think the term that would more accurately describe what you’re trying to articulate is that most fungi are usually multicellular organisms, which makes them more complex Edit: Even a single cellular fungi species would be more complex as it is a Eukaryote, and Eukaryotes are more complex cells compared to Prokaryotes (larger cells, membrane bound organelles like the nucleus, etc…)

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter in charge of opening the channels for the synapsis to have place. If this channels want to be closed, the body produces an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which degrades acetylcholine. This enzyme is produced on a set amount, intended to be fully consumed in the degradation. If the amount of acetylcholine increases drasticly, the body will not be able to produce enough acetylcholinesterase to degrade it all, leaving the channels open. If this happens to occur anywhere inside the limbic system, let's say, the amygdala, it can produce a constant, uninterrupted state of intense euphoria and irritability.

The "You know how that makes me feel Matthew?" and matpat knowing exactly what ash was gonna say 34:32 i love gtlive so much 😭
