1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: You know Missus Puff she has PTSD. Really, John, have

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: you heard about this crazy SpongeBob theory about mental illness

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: and how each character represents a different mental illness. Actually, yeah,

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: it's actually it absolutely bonkers, but it makes more sense

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: the more you learn about it. Okay, you know missus Puff, right, yeah,

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: big Fish, big Fish, she's like the boating instructor. Yeah, okay,

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: she has PTSD. Really yeah, let me tell you why. Okay,

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: do you know what PTSD is?

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: Break it down for me.

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: So it's basically a mental and emotional condition from something

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: super stressful happening to you, and as a result, you

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: just constantly remember this experience.

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: It's like you're constantly reliving this like terrible experience over execond. Yeah.

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: The cause is usually war like I mean, or any

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: kind of trauma, but we think of it about it

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: in a war where it's like that, you know.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: So that's like the example everyone.

18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like you hear helicopters like, ah, I'm back

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: in nom or yeah yeah, but for missus Puff not quite.

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: No, I'm trying to like connect the knots.

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: It's boating school, Okay. Basically, Missus Puff is constantly being

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: in a car own to crash because every person that

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: is behind the wheel is just incredibly inexperienced or terrible

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: at driving. Yeah, they always fail, every single time, always fail.

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: What right? So there's this one example of Missus Puff

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: having PTSD, and it's in season two, episode sixteen, when

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: SpongeBob approaches Missus Puff's table, she literally has a meltdown

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: and starts screaming and spasming as if she was back

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: in the car with SpongeBob because SpongeBob and her car

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: ride was so traumatic that she like relived it and

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: just could not be anywhere near him because SpongeBob was

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: a trigger for the PTSD.

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Right, I think I remember that. It was almost like

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: it literally looked like she was having a bad dream,

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: like that's how it came off as a child, but

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: it was actually her brain triggering that spot.

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only until SpongeBob snaps his fingers that she

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: like comes out of it, right, right, And that's like

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: the equivalent of, you know, some kind of shock for PTSD.

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: People to like get her, people who are experiencing PTSD

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: to get out of the mental study say disrupt and yeah,

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: bring exact to break the thought loop right. So sometimes

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: it's a loud noise like a snap, sometimes it's cold water. Obviously,

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: these are very archaic methods, but sometimes it does work right, right, right.

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: And then there's another episode. So season one, episode four,

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: Patrick has to help SpongeBob pass his first boating test.

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Big surprise, he doesn't. And there are three scenes alone

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: in this episode that I think are important to reference.

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: The first is when Missus Puff comes out of the

50
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: ambulance to go into the boat with SpongeBob. So she

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: puts on her helmet for safety and asks them, what's

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the first thing you do? And then right after she

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: puts both arms over her head like almost basically bracing

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: for SpongeBob to fail again.

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: And I can remember like trembling in her voice. You

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: can hear her expecting something to go wrong exactly.

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: And then the next scene, SpongeBob starts the car and

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Missus Puff just freaks out until SpongeBob has to actually

59
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: calm her down because she's having like a PTSD break.

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: Right, is that when she's like puffing up, and.

61
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Then she starts looking around like this, like as if

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: she had been temporarily transported to the many memories of

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: being in a car crash thanks to SpongeBob.

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: Wow.

65
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: And the last scene I'll mentioned for this episode is

66
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: when Patrick tells SpongeBob to tell Missus Puff to put

67
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: it in drive and begins to lift his foot, saying

68
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: floor it. Missus Puff flips out again, proving she's PTSD.

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: That triggers around the SpongeBob Wow, that is crazy.

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: I also came up with like a supplemental theory to that.

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: So maybe they made she was like a blowfish or

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: a pufferfish, right, Maybe they made her a puffer fish

73
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: as like a metaphorical characteristic to represent when she hyperventilates

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: from her.

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Pet wow wow, like the deep breathing Yeah, because that's.

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Like any other fish, like you can't see them breathing

77
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: that way. But with missus Puff, like it's.

78
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Part of her character literally of her literal like biology.

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: Maybe they designed her character that way so that way

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: they could represent her hyperventiline because of her PTSD.

81
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: That's nuts, missus Fish PTSD. You tell us in the

82
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: comments that one's crazy. But have you heard the other

83
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: SpongeBob theory where Patrick has multiple personality disorder?

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: I have not.

85
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: There's evidence let me tell you, so, multiple personality disorder basically,

86
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: or associative identity disorder, is when you have more than

87
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: one personality besides your own or like your main personality,

88
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: right right, Patrick clearly has this because there are scenes

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: sprinkled in the show where Patrick acts smart and then

90
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: later acts like he doesn't remember it at all. So

91
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: one example is in this episode Squintastic Voyage, season four,

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: episode fifteen, we're out of nowhere, Patrick says, we can

93
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: filter the CO two through our ballast tanks, refine the engine,

94
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: and ride the shock wave out of here, and then

95
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: he smiles with his arms crossed for a few seconds,

96
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and then Sandy confirms he was right and says they're

97
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: going with Patrick's plan, And then he's like, we plan right, classic,

98
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: And I think it's because he has multiple personality disorder.

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't like what like there's a version of Patrick

100
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: that is smart.

101
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: And that like almost won't allow the smart version to

102
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: come out all the time. He like almost wants to

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: forget it or something exactly.

104
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: And according to the study, right, and there's this quote,

105
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the memory loss associated with the id's associative identity disorder

106
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: isn't recognized by people around us. It is something to

107
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: which neurotypical people try to compare but they can't. It's

108
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: waking up and seeing you've spent five hundred dollars with

109
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: no recollection of it and nothing to show for it.

110
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: And so in the same way, Patrick is like, you know,

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: said the super smart statement, but has no recollection and

112
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: nothing to show for it.

113
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: And is it like they can't understand that that's happening

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: to them. It's almost like, yeah, what I see is blue,

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: you see is red?

116
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they see it what I see? What has

117
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: happened to you? So it's just a completely other person

118
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: having a life. I have just no other than when

119
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing each other. I don't know what you're doing

120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: in your right know that when you're not there. It's

121
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: like that. But we are actually the same personality living

122
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: in the same body. So it's possible to go from

123
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: one personality to another and not have the same memories

124
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: as that first personality, which is what Patrick is experiencing.

125
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Right.

126
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: Wow, So there's another episode Hello Bikini Bottom, Season eight,

127
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: episode twenty six. At the end of the episode, after

128
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: SpongeBob and Squidwards sing their song, they think the crowd

129
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: came for them, only to have Patrick correct them, saying

130
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: they came to see the meteor shower that passes through

131
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: the aura Barrealius getting a once in a life time

132
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: light show. So basically he knows how the stars operate apparently, right. Yeah. Yeah,

133
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Now to explain both episodes of Patrick smart Pants season four,

134
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: episode eight, when Patrick gets his brain switched with brain

135
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: coral and library cards.

136
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: I literally remember that he like fell off of a cliff,

137
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: right and like dropped his brain.

138
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: Exactly when Patrick gets his brain switched, then he starts

139
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: reading some books in SpongeBob's library, and I think in

140
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: that episode Patrick smart Pants, SpongeBob didn't actually pick up

141
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: brain quarrel, And actually what happened is the impact to

142
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: his head further enhanced his intelligence and allowed his other

143
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: personality smart Patrick to come more to the forefront.

144
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 2: Wow. So literally basically it was like we all thought

145
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: that he had his brain swapped with something, but in actuality,

146
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: he was just shocked into his other personality.

147
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Basically he gained acquired savant syndrome, which is actually

148
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: something that happens a lot where someone will like hit

149
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: their head and then be really good at math or

150
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: starts to speak French or something like really yeah, yeah,

151
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: that's actually like been documented a bunch of different times.

152
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.

153
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: And then there's this other episode the Card season, say,

154
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: episode thirteen, where Patrick does a bunch of stupid stuff

155
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: while in the custody of a rare number fifty four

156
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: talking card. When SpongeBob asks why he walked in Goolagoon,

157
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: he literally says, SpongeBob, you can't always expect my usual

158
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: brand of stupidity, like to mix it up, keep you

159
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: on your toes. And so that's literally being like almost

160
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: admitting that he might know that he has multiple personality disorder.

161
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: That's like almost an exact direct reference.

162
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, whether he's keeping SpongeBob on his toes, he's basically

163
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: just messing with SpongeBob, doing stupid stuff to make him worry.

164
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: And then at the end of the episode he's like, Okay,

165
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: like enough is enough, I won't do that anymore. But

166
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: this is probably the work of Patrick's smart personality, just

167
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: to mess with people around him and make these mind

168
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: games up to make himself feel superior. And so basically

169
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: we have two different Patricks, smart Patrick and regular Patrick.

170
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: Wow. This is this is a mind blowing theory, and

171
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: to be honest, I feel like one line from the

172
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: whole show sums it up. Do you know the line

173
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm talking about?

174
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: No, it's a line the inner workings of my mind

175
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: or a enigma, dude. True right, true, they are and

176
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: it is an enigma.
