Beating a video game is something that is only fun once

Beating a video game. Once you [beat it], you can't go back and beat another video... like yes you can, [but] it's not as fun. If you beat Goldeneye and you go back and you know all the secrets and stuff, it does not have that same allure. The first time you beat Goldeneye, you think that you are God.

This is a common psychological phenomenon called the 'hedonic treadmill' or just diminishing returns on entertainment.

Titty fucking is only fun to do once

I think guys, if you guys, the one person will agree with me... It is the man. We're doing it. Drum roll: titty fucking. It's simply fun [only] once. That is something that like you're in middle school, you dream about and then you do it and it's like, this isn't that fun. I've literally only done it once 'cause I was like, I don't need to do this shit.

Entirely subjective, though the rest of the room's reaction suggests Max is in a tiny minority.

Throwing a house party in high school is only fun the first time

Throwing a house party in high school. When parents aren't there. It's fun the first time you might get away with it. You might not, but you still had that one time. But then you can't really do it again. Or if you do it again, it gets out of hand. Your first one's a banger people, the bar's gonna be so high for the future ones that like you can only go downhill.

Showering in the morning is mandatory to feel accomplished

I don't understand for the life of me, anyone who doesn't shower in the morning. You gotta shower in the morning right before you go to work 'cause it makes you feel accomplished... I would feel like just dooo going to work without showering first.

Unsubscribing from spam emails is an S-tier easy task

Unsubscribing to spam emails. One of my favorite easy tasks. That just makes you feel awesome when you like have your entire email box... You feel like you conquered the world.

Men evolved beards as a form of physical armor to protect their throats in combat

I actually read this crazy thing that men developed beards because it prevented them from getting their throat slashed in combat. It was an extra like thing of Armor.

Mainstream evolutionary biology attributes human beards to sexual selection (intra-sexual competition and mate attraction) rather than mechanical protection from bladed weapons.

The losing team of Mount Rushmore season must do a 24-hour solitary confinement stream in a white padded room

The punishment that I am offering up for Mount Rushmore season is the losing team has to do a 24-hour stream in a white padded room. Solitary confinement. Obviously you're not solitary because you're with someone else. 24 hours. Nothing else in the room.

This punishment was eventually modified but served as the primary motivation for the season. The 'white padded room' concept was a major talking point.

Getting genuinely upset when a game doesn't tip off exactly at its scheduled time is a sign of getting old.

Getting actually upset when a game doesn't tip off when it says it's going to tip off. I used to joke about it, but now it's like, if it says eight-thirty and they tip off at 8:43, I'm like, 'What the fuck?

Being late to pull out is the worst thing you can possibly be late for

Pulling out, that sucks. Really bad when you're late, kind of defeats the entire purpose of it. Kills it. Guess what, babe? I'm about to pull out. Oh shit, guess what? You have to raise a kid.
