What do you think? I think we're dead meat. Real dead meat.

0:07.0

You dead meat!

0:12.0

Go ahead and let me pass. If I have a final word to pass, I said this.

0:15.0

You're dead meat.

Welcome to the Dead Meat Podcast, the extension of the YouTube channel Dead Meat. I'm James.

0:21.0

I'm Chelsea and we're engaged and we like to get scared together.

0:24.0

Hey, it's happening. We're finally talking about Godzilla on the Dead Meat Podcast.

0:31.0

With someone who actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to Godzilla.

0:35.0

Our friend Derek aka D-Man1954 on YouTube. If you're into Godzilla at all and you hang out on YouTube,

1:55.0

And so I guess over the past few years, especially once I started my YouTube channel back in 2014, I've really dedicated myself to

2:03.0

trying to learn everything about these movies and spread a little bit more awareness as to what for me, what Godzilla would mean to me.
