link to this video this video explains it well. this algorithm is the brute force method for getting the Fib sequence and shouldn't really be used.

Thanks /u/mb_zeppin! I picked this up from the video that /u/6e696767617320 posted (link to this video The 2nd part of that video that breaks it down visually really helped me understand the importance of the base case. Your explanation above helps solidify my understanding.
