Tidally Challenged: Dune (Villeneuve) Anticipation & Nintendo Labo · Multiple Nerdgasm

0:00
can one of you guys explain to me because I really don't understand why
0:05
there's a new trend of kids eating Tide
0:09
Pods welcome to multiple
0:13
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
0:17
Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
0:23
Things
0:28
nerdy I was hoping Matt might be able to explain this
0:32
because I see this as an American thing okay well yes you're probably right I'm
0:37
actually not American I just live here but um but you you're our correspondent
0:41
to America yeah gotcha I asked about this the other day too actually cuz I
0:45
saw a me who' you ask uh Jenna okay
0:50
yeah um and we did some research she she had looked into it a bit actually and I
0:55
think she looked up some more stuff on her phone while we driving because
0:57
there's been deaths right like lot of deaths now this is not a new thing
1:03
that's the that's that was my takeaway from it are people getting high of it is
1:09
it possible or that's what I thought at first and then I think it's just a
1:13
challenge Tide Pods came out like four or five years ago I guess and at the
1:19
time there was apparently a number of issues related to the fact that they
1:25
look delicious and kids were confused by
1:30
them and also some some older people suffering from dementia uh eat them as
1:36
well okay I was a kid once and I don't ever remember being that stupid I've uh
1:41
I've just Googled what a tide pod looks like and I'll stop you there Matt this
1:46
this in no way looks delicious this this
1:49
looks like [ __ ] washing liquid in I'm just looking it up in a in a big
1:56
Square the blue and orange and white pods think that looks pretty tasty I
2:01
think it looks like candy yeah maybe to a toddler but we're talking about kids
2:05
that are like 19 years old oh okay so that's different let me get to that let
2:09
me get to that so when when it came out there was there was an issue with it
2:12
right little kids who would eat anything that's colorful were gobbing down these
2:16
and getting getting sick and dying and there were some deaths yeah uh and then
2:21
there there were also a high number of poison cases in the hospitals uh and
2:25
then recently I think Jimmy Kimmel made
2:30
J eating tis ination to the White House
2:35
and people then on the internet started doing the tide pod challenge based on
2:41
his joke uh which is I
2:44
guess you eat a tide pod and now YouTube is Banning those videos because don't
2:51
eat [ __ ] Tide Pods it's not food it's like poison stop it now look I I have
2:56
found and I've pasted into the spreadsheet a uh a picture that compares
3:02
Tide Pods to candies that look like a tide pod to kind of prove that you could
3:07
reasonably make make this mistake a tide pod is bigger than I thought or that
3:13
woman is smaller than got tiny hands no no no I think they're I think they're
3:17
quite big yeah okay I think that's a child's hands they've got nail polish on
3:23
don't well don't give them to a child it might eat them yeah I actually honestly
3:27
think that's a child hey uh Luke you know what I was thinking about the other
3:31
day do you remember remember when we were in the line at uh that Bargain
3:35
Basement reject shop or whever it was buying prop weapons for our multiple
3:40
nasm short film Christmas slaughter house yes yes I do and we realized that
3:46
we were having a really ridiculously suspect conversation you
3:52
know in the line just in line about how real these guns would look yeah but I
3:58
remember at one point realizing that we'd cross that line when I was like how
4:02
does it feel in your hand is this like um that time you had
4:09
to order enough uh dirt to cover a human
4:13
body for yeah two bodies man I'll stop you there yeah that's right and you were
4:17
discussing whether is this going to be enough to cover two bodies yeah that's
4:21
right yeah we're at the uh at the nursery where you can buy a trailer full
4:25
of dirt having an argument with Greg tinan about whether we had enough and
4:29
everyone else around us was like the [ __ ] are these guys on half a trailer of
4:34
dirt is plenty enough dirt to bury a body yeah one body great we've got five
4:39
bodies we need to
4:44
be um so I guess that that's my explanation for why kids are do people
4:48
remember that with the challenge things they're meant to be raising money as
4:52
well no I don't think so I don't think they do it for that I think they do it
4:56
for views on YouTube or whatever yeah I am pretty desperate for views so I guess
5:02
yeah I guess this is our next step the multiple challenge get one now maybe our
5:07
challenge should be the opposite it should be that we've got to try and
5:11
resist eating them you know they look so delicious and we've got to just try to
5:16
resist I love candy you do like candy Luke you I'm a fan of candy too so you
5:23
know I don't they taste like candy though luk leges are [ __ ] disgusting
5:27
sickly sweet stuff like runts and I love runs in
5:32
fact jeez no I I don't I don't do the pure sugar candy like that I'm more into
5:38
the glucose candy like a like a a nice pack of uh Allan's retro party mix will
5:44
do me oh yeah man I don't have that here here in the old USA not just flavored
5:51
sugar that's all I need do you you know I'm very conscious of the fact that
5:54
nothing well not not nothing but very few things have like actual sugar in
5:58
them here although yes I know that it it eventually is
6:03
sugar but it's all made with corn syrup yeah that's right yeah but did you know
6:07
that that doesn't make America unusual that just about every country on Earth
6:11
gets its sugar from a different plant like in Australia we we use sugar cane
6:16
and that's I assumed up until maybe a year ago that that's what everybody did
6:20
then I found out that America get their sugar from corn yeah and in Britain they
6:26
get their sugar from sugar beets from beets yeah sugar beats man if they found
6:32
out that we got sugar from sugarcane they'd be like what the [ __ ] is sugar
6:36
cane well I cuz I had always heard that uh America doesn't because all the sugar
6:41
cane in this area of the world is in Cuba and they don't trade with Cuba uh
6:46
but Mexico does and that's why people like Coke from Mexico because it's got
6:50
actual sugar because it does taste different oh yeah it does Oh Oh you mean
6:54
the the drink Coke yeah oh well I mean you know people get Coke from Mexico I
7:00
think as well but uh I did mean the drink yeah and uh so I'm very conscious
7:05
of that when I when I look at soft drinks and stuff here and I'm I I feel
7:08
like I I I consume way less sugary stuff
7:13
than I did before just because I'm like yeah like I read the ingredients for for
7:18
like you know like barbecue sauce and I'm like high those corn syrup I look I
7:23
look for something else why I want that I can I can hear some runs
7:30
I'm putting them back down now I've stopped I'm locking them back in the
7:33
basement I don't know how they got out seems like an expensive way to buy a
7:38
laundry detergent it does and I'll say
7:42
again this has been leading to death
7:46
yeah like yeah yeah you guys South Park made fun of this like three years ago
7:52
when uh when they said that the new craze amongst teenagers would be death
7:57
and now we've gotten to that it is no longer a j it is now just what happens
8:02
yeah I don't get why do they PL to get out of it they know it's poison and can
8:07
kill them because teenagers are [ __ ]
8:13
moronic yeah they want uh they want views I guess on
8:18
on on on YouTube and whatnot it's like do you know I remember I found out that
8:24
kids will put a photo up on Instagram and if it doesn't get enough likes in
8:30
the first 5 minutes they delete it and maybe they'll post it later and see what
8:35
happens or they'll just try something else like they have to achieve critical
8:41
mass very quickly or they have to delete it because they don't want it they don't
8:45
want a photo on there that didn't get enough likes you know yeah like [ __ ] I
8:51
don't even think about that I just put it up there like and there it is and
8:55
then walk away from it what do we talk about now
9:00
look we've got some Star Wars
9:04
news you want to Jingle yeah put it in
9:09
[Music] Matt that's what George Lucas
9:16
said look at there little bit of
9:21
[Laughter] uh oh I just had a had a mental image I
9:28
never wanted look uh to start off there's a few
9:33
stories in Star Wars news tonight but uh I think the biggest story is that Star
9:39
Wars has absolutely bombed in China right yeah it has not done well there at
9:44
all $2 million right and then was pulled from theaters that doesn't make it sound too
9:51
bad depending on how yeah I know $20 million is a lot of money to us
9:56
but I mean they probably cost them more than that to make it right how much did
9:59
it cost to make that probably cost more than that to advertise it definitely
10:04
definitely it would have cost over $200 million to make for sure um and they
10:09
expect they expect to get big returns it's made a billion dollars worldwide
10:14
you know what I mean there there a couple of reasons why
10:18
it might not have done well yeah Luke so you did some research today into uh well
10:23
the one reason is the original trilogy never came out there okay well I mean
10:28
that's that's all that's all the proof you need really isn't it yeah so there's
10:33
sort of a big they haven't grown up with Star Wars like we did but there's
10:37
another reason and this has coming out they don't even know what Star Wars is
10:42
yeah but there's been another theory and this has come out from a blogger over
10:46
there in China that um the audiences don't really think that the actors are
10:51
that attractive okay say I love this quote this is from um chenta who was a
10:57
Chinese Star Wars fan Forum manager consulted uh for the for the report and
11:04
Chen said these actors aren't very beautiful which made deter a lot of
11:07
Chinese people from seeing the recent films we often joke that if Finn was
11:11
played by Will Smith Chinese people might be more inclined to watch it because he's very
11:18
handsome sure I mean Will Smith's a handsome guy but uh I've I've never said
11:24
to myself I wonder which hotties are going to be in the new Star Wars movies oh I have
11:29
[Laughter] I mean yeah I just think it's a weird
11:35
thing to put people off going to seea yeah I mean I think Oscar Isaacs is damn
11:42
handsome I was gonna say there's not they're not unattractive really the
11:46
people in it are they I mean Daisy really no very high probably
11:52
curvier than they like over there it could be depending on the advertising
11:56
they had for it like if they focused on Luke M
12:00
women women I'm not saying that they're ugly but they're older and women like
12:06
Adam dri I don't and not just women like some men I guess too Adam D I like him I
12:12
think he's fine yeah he's a very good actor yeah but he looks like a
12:18
fridge yeah yeah yeah I mean he's oddl looking
12:23
but that's his charm right yeah he's not well charm isn't enough to get you
12:28
through in China apparently not you just need those looks yeah I I think they're
12:34
quite specific too about what they find attractive and unattractive in China
12:40
although Chanda has thrown me with the mil the Will Smith reference you know I
12:45
would I would have thought I knew exactly what he meant until he said for example Will
12:51
Smith right what is it about Will Smith that makes him more attractive than say
12:56
John boa well Will Smith hasn't really AED in a very long
13:01
time yeah but jumbo are still young like they're both handsome like I don't I
13:07
don't I don't know yeah that's like saying Will Smith's good for his age but not good
13:12
overall next to a guy who as far as I can tell is perfectly handsome John boo
13:17
yeah that's that's what I'm saying what is it what is it about him that that
13:21
they like is it I mean he I guess he's he's slighter in build Will Smith maybe
13:26
something to do with that I don't know you think they don't like him chunky
13:29
yeah I think that's fair probably why they don't like Daisy Ridley as well wa
13:34
she's not chunky she's she got soft
13:37
edges though Daisy Ridley no you she's
13:42
she's a rake yeah she could do actually I'll say she's uh she's she's solid I
13:48
guess cuz of cuz she make more out like crazy
13:53
yeah what about this Will Smith is taller that's true mhm mhm oh well
14:00
probably true I guess I've never I'll say this though I went to China a number
14:04
of times and uh height didn't seem to be
14:08
a big deal over there okay I know that they didn't like I guess what I'm trying
14:13
to say is that just about everyone from the West is tall if they go to China I
14:17
say just about because I'm [Laughter]
14:22
not well okay so it's not just uh it's not not just the looks of the people
14:28
that people are taking issue with uh there's also a bunch of people who I
14:33
guess just don't want women to be in the film at all that would have a bit to do with
14:39
looks though uh well and we should say we've we've stopped talking about China
14:44
now oh yeah that's yeah sorry this isn't the Chinese getting together and hating on
14:50
women these would be Americans wouldn't they almost would assume so almost
14:54
certainly definitely although the version they got their hands on was
14:58
undoubtedly from China but uh some
15:02
meninists um have uh gotten their hands on copy The Last Jedi and have edited
15:08
out all the women uh they have removed quote most
15:15
shots showing female Fighters Pilots female officers commanding people and
15:20
having ideas don't want to see any women having
15:25
ideas yes there there is there a reason behind doing this yes because they feel
15:31
that the Last Jedi has a feminist agenda so with a a movie that's almost 3 hours
15:36
long and I famously did say that I I felt there were some scenes that could
15:40
be removed and to their credit they've removed some of my worst scenes but yes
15:46
but they've also removed enough that the Final Cut Is Now 46 minutes
15:52
long see I worry sometimes like cuz one one of my complaints about the Last Jedi
15:57
was that some of stuff with um Admiral
16:00
Halo and and Oscar Isaac I think of um
16:05
Laura D sorry since I'm like mixing
16:07
[ __ ] names of actors and Oscar
16:13
isacs uh I've thought that those scenes were poorly written I thought that whole
16:19
thing was kind of a mess and I do worry now that this stuff coming out is like
16:23
like no no I don't care like she can be a woman doesn't worry me yeah they're
16:27
gonna be like well Matt ham agrees with you he was saying on his podcast how he
16:30
thought that character was and if the roles had been reversed and it was it
16:33
was po telling someone else like not telling them his plan and and then
16:39
leading them off on this stupid side quest that went nowhere just for just
16:42
because they were [ __ ] at their job I would still hate it it's yeah yeah
16:47
nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman so what I approve of is that uh
16:53
Leia gets shot out into space and dies there just dies yeah which that should
17:00
absolutely have how been how she went out no Space
17:04
Zombies uh no flying Mary poppin moment
17:08
just a tragic and poetic death in space
17:13
yep yeah I get the argument that uh that that felt like they would be changing
17:18
the film but you know what it would have been a change for the better because the
17:21
film was bad that that plot correct that aspect of it was bad so that actually
17:27
would have been a Improvement in my opinion cuz she didn't really do
17:33
anything after that she in a she yeah she died yeah came back to life was in a coma for a
17:39
bit and then came out and went I like him and then they went away it was
17:44
almost like she had been it had been intended that she would die in that
17:49
scene and then Ryan Johnson as he was fighting out his first draft that they
17:53
approved first yeah yeah that Luke
17:57
showed up and then he was like oh you
18:58
is good yeah he said that uh he explicitly said that the reason she
19:04
didn't die is because they would have to change the plot where she's still
19:07
hanging around at the end and I was like that would have been better one scene
19:12
and they could have carried it on their own yeah there was only one thing you'd
19:17
have to change that line about I like your hair just remove that he didn't talk to
19:23
anyone else I mean they would have had it would have removed
19:29
Luke and Leia seeing each other again I guess that's that's the only argument
19:33
for that but I didn't feel like that scene was very good anyway so no it
19:37
wasn't wasn't good at all but I definitely didn't feel like she just
19:41
needed to be removed from the film completely and I don't I don't
19:45
understand why people can't I don't understand so my ab take all the women
19:51
out like it's I don't that's not that wasn't my problem with the film no I and
19:56
if it's yeah look people
20:01
complain yeah but in their defense Star Wars the whole universe of
20:07
Star Wars had only ever had two women in it it was the biggest sausage fest and
20:13
then like if you cut out all the women from the original Star Wars movie it's
20:17
not going to make a real difference to that movie at all true yeah other than
20:20
Leia who's yeah needs help he's rescuing
20:25
uh they don't play a bigger part so I can understand understand why the
20:29
writers are now um trying to infuse a
20:33
much broader uh way of casting now to
20:37
include women but and so to a point I
20:41
can understand why some people feel that it's a departure from something that
20:46
they already established but I mean were you were you really watching Star Wars
20:51
up until this point going yeah Galaxy full of men just the way I like it yeah
20:56
no see that that's not the didn't even occur to me and then even with Force
21:00
awakens people complained Ry was like saying she's oh she's Mary Sue and I'm like well
21:06
no but she's fine she's a pretty good character in force awakens I thought she
21:10
was a bit [ __ ] in this new one she didn't do anything but I thought she was
21:13
a good character before that like I don't know didn't never really
21:18
occurred to me to think that way like ah a
21:21
woman like [ __ ] cares I mean oh you could actually
21:27
download the def feminized fan edit look
21:31
I I thought that uh Laura D is it hold I I keep thinking
21:38
holdor um holdo and I only know that because of the internet anyway because I
21:43
don't remember them even saying her name in the film but I'm sure they did uh I I
21:47
keep thinking that her hair was distractingly purple but at the same
21:51
time who am I to criticize a woms here like none of my [ __ ] business yeah I
21:56
just I don't know hey can I say something this is slightly off topic but
22:00
still on Star Wars and we touched a little bit on it last week um when we
22:03
were talking about how there's people that grew up with the prequels and they
22:06
for them it's just part of yeah part of the Star Wars saga right they're the old
22:10
movies yeah yeah that's right but I was uh I was on the Star Wars subreddit
22:16
recently and there's it's it's all just love for the prequels right it's just
22:23
it's all prequel love and not only that the people that count the prequels as just
22:29
part of the Star Wars cannon also count all the sub like uh the Clone Wars
22:35
seasons of that as part of it as well and I I actually became a little bit
22:40
jealous of people that could enjoy it on that level because I mean if we didn't
22:46
have this kind of prejudice against the prequels and we we see them as shitty
22:50
spin-offs but imagine you didn't imagine there were eight great Star Wars movies
22:57
and episode after episode of a TV series that filled in all the blanks in the
23:01
middle like that' be amazing yeah I actually work with people who sort of
23:06
grew up with the prequels and they don't mind them there are people who thought
23:11
Rogue one didn't fit because they're used to the prequels like the tone of
23:15
the prequels and I was like oh yeah CU I felt like Rogue one so far of all the
23:20
newer ones has captured the tone of that I want a Star Wars film to kind of take
23:27
like exactly like they they always had little little bits of humor in them but
23:32
they were kind of gritty and dark whereas the prequels were not that
23:37
and then people saying oh you know the No No Last Jedi you know the casino
23:41
Stuff felt like you know classic Star Wars like the phantom menace I'm like what
23:47
no amazing well you know what I'm looking forward to um because of a quote
23:53
that came out this week um I'm looking
23:56
forward to June has come out and that his June will be
24:03
the St Wars movie you they would make they've already got that it's called
24:08
Star Wars or triple x parody yeah I do recall you watching that and
24:13
fast forwarding the sex scenes it was actually well done and quite funny I enjoyed
24:20
it I wish they' make the sequel watching it for the
24:25
plot which was the plot of Star Wars yeah so as you know I've just finished
24:30
reading Dune um I'm now in Dune Messiah the second book um which is a bit more
24:36
of a slug than the first one uh not quite as compelling but uh I for one I'm
24:41
excited for stus Den Vu has not let me down yet with a film he's one my
24:48
favorite directors now a great run of Science Fiction as well
24:52
so and he has come out and said that this will feel like a Star Wars movie
24:56
for adults and not in the porn parody
25:00
way oh but he gets it right yeah I think
25:05
so I think I I I mean based on Blade Runner and uh
25:10
arrival uh I'm [ __ ] excited to see what he does CU I think he's tops it sounds good to
25:16
me yeah yeah also thank you for attempting to pronounce his name and
25:22
joining me over here yep in there's going to be a mash up at at some point
25:26
of just all the ways we've mispronounced his name yeah so he's making this a
25:31
movie is he yes he is making it a movie
25:34
it's what he does why a movie cuz he's a film
25:41
director he could do a painting of it but this should be better as sort of
25:47
like a write as a book series oh wait that would be copyright this is a book over it's
25:53
called June it's an adaptation of another book called
25:59
each page is closely closely based on a specific page from that [Music]
26:05
book I changed one word per page come at me lawyers in no I'm just going instead of
26:12
making a super long movie why not make a television show and have like hour and a
26:17
half episodes and stuff well they did that they did that for uh that Sci-fi
26:21
channel did a three part there was one three-part
26:26
miniseries yeah it's been a aded a bunch of times look if they do if they were
26:31
going to do a series I I would watch a series if it was done well like if it
26:34
was done you know from the makers of like stranger things or you know you
26:38
know those wellone modern style TV
26:42
series yeah but honest to God not enough happens in the first June
26:48
novel to to Really flesh out a whole series I I'd say they'd have to take in
26:54
all of the expanded universe yeah
27:00
well it could be good like um the the world uh there is more to the world then
27:06
in in the book The First book so yeah
27:10
they could do it but I guess maybe if the film is successful they can uh try
27:17
something else just keep making films yeah oh I feel like they're going to
27:21
keep making films as much as they complain that they're that they're not
27:26
making money they are making a lot of money making films yeah yeah they're making
27:30
they're making decent money
27:34
yeah um I did see this week that Ryan
27:38
Johnson has tweeted a response to people who were complaining that the force
27:44
projection sorry spoilers I guess I should say should said spoilers a while ago
27:51
sure with uh cross that line already
27:55
man sorry it's been two weeks um people complain that Luke's Force projection or
28:02
Force projection in general does not have a precedent in the Star Wars
28:06
Universe Ryan Johnson has tweeted a series of just photos uh he didn't say
28:11
anything just a bunch of photos of uh presumably his library at home where he
28:17
has the old uh Jedi path and book of the
28:20
Sith books and in the Jedi path book uh it's it shows him getting closer to the
28:27
Bookshelf taking out the book opening the book uh going through the pages
28:31
until he reaches the uh the section where it says the doppelganger or simil
28:36
futurus uh which is a force technique that enables a Jedi to project an image
28:42
of himself him or herself mhh uh I
28:48
mean I I mean I I still don't think it was done well but I guess it does yeah
28:55
it does have a precedent in the uh the book says you can do it you can do it so
29:00
so does that book so that book's still Cannon then I guess so yeah and there
29:05
was a reply to him the other day that made me laugh oh here it is oh cool do
29:10
you have a book there that explains why the rest of the movie is [ __ ]
29:15
too oh man look I I would love to direct a Star Wars movie and there's no way I
29:21
would turn it down if they offered it to me but on the other hand I'm kind of
29:26
glad that I will never ever be put in that position because like you can't
29:30
please everyone you're not going to make people happy yet yeah look the way I'm
29:35
looking at it now they we're going to be getting one or two of these a year they
29:39
can't all be good they can't all be well they can't all be for me I guess is more
29:44
accurate cuz I know I cuz I still enjoyed it there yeah I didn't hate it I
29:49
just I've come to hate it afterwards because I think I hate people who are discussing it
29:54
now like all the discussion of it has just put me off Star Wars fandom because
30:00
everyone's just behaving like [ __ ] so
30:03
like don't harass Ryan Johnson like he made a film it was a film he wanted to
30:09
make if you didn't like it fine like there'll be more right like J.J ABS is
30:13
coming back to make another one so there'll be one in like four
30:18
months yeah yeah that one's not looking great either man they they've not even dropped
30:24
the trailer yet they keep I know teasing that out latest rumor is that it might
30:29
go on Super Bowl Sunday which I think is the 4th of next month oh
30:33
yeah they have been doing a lot of Star Wars trailers in the football lately which is
30:40
strange well it's a lot of people watching the TV at that
30:45
points very big over here the the football the American
30:50
football I'm going to be in London when the Super Bowl's on probably won't be
30:53
watching it yeah would you have watched it anyway no
30:58
not no gonna watch any 40 while you're in London no no no probably well the
31:05
football season doesn't start till March well that's good means that I won't have
31:11
to say no when people ask me if I want to watch a game I'm I'm talking about
31:15
real football Oh you mean AFL yeah I mean rugby league no I don't know what you're talking
31:21
about I just know that all of those codes that call themselves football are
31:25
the ones where you pick up the ball and run with it and the one
31:29
sport that is a football is the one we call soccer right go

33:22
Matt that might have just been a a fun segue but listeners if you do have
33:28
an opinion on the Last Jedi and and I know you do why don't you ride in
33:33
because I'd be very interested to hear whether I mean we we all had a slightly
33:38
different opinion on uh on this movie Matt hates it Luke thinks it's fine I
33:44
honestly can't decide and uh I didn't hate it I honestly it now my yeah but
33:51
that's that's I I came out of it and I was like you talked yourself into hating
33:54
it during the conversation we had yeah I know I was I'm like you know what no I'm
34:00
not going to do what I did with the prequels and just try just convinc
34:02
myself that I enjoyed them look let's all go and see it
34:08
again okay I I do want to go see it again this we we owe it to Star Wars to
34:13
give it another give them more money chance well they're not getting any
34:17
money out of me CU well they will technically they get it from movie pass but
34:23
yeah all right let's do it if it doesn't hold up on a second
34:29
viewing and if the mistakes don't Fade Into the background then well we'll just
34:35
have to admit it's a piece of [ __ ] but you never know maybe yeah and then
34:41
everyone's without the element of surprise being surprised that it's a
34:44
piece of [ __ ] maybe then maybe it seems okay enjoy I don't know speaking of
34:49
pieces of [ __ ] go on I watched the teaser trailer when you
34:55
went away for a b yep and is it true to making a sequel to
35:01
crocodile dunde yeah I think well it's a well they've already made
35:07
sequels they're making it a Trilogy the fourth one there was a three there was a
35:12
three yeah I don't remember the third one we disc seen it did we discuss I
35:17
don't know if I brought this up on the podcast Tom Green's theory about
35:20
Crocodile Dundee did I ever bring this up on the podcast before no I don't
35:23
think so I don't think so shocked that Tom Green even has opinion on this so
35:28
I'm you won't be when you hear it you won't be when you hear it okay Freddy
35:32
Got Fingered came out at the same time as Crocodile Dundee right wait Freddy
35:36
Got Fingered how could it possibly have no crocodile dund from the mid 80s no
35:42
hang on maybe it was like a remake yeah it has to be like the remake or the
35:47
third the third one okay crocodile dundy 3 I guess
35:54
so they came out the same time crocodile dundy 3 was a huge success Freddy got
35:58
finger was not M except everybody has seen Freddy got
36:03
finger and kids right it was rated R and he has this theory that kids were buying
36:08
tickets to crocodile dunde 3 but then sneaking into Freddy got fing it
36:13
instead oh man that is a very optimistic Theory yeah but he thinks that the the
36:19
success of the crocodile d d film was entirely due to people wanting to see his
36:25
film it's his conspiracy theory
36:29
wow but yeah they're making a
36:34
sequel with one of my least favorite actors at this point I used to not I
36:40
used to think he was all right no I can't one of your least favorite actors
36:44
what has he ever done to you heing me away now he just driving me crazy what
36:49
what has he done Danny McBride stop
36:53
being in things no no no what what told
36:57
you Eastbound and Down is amazing right y he was the best thing about Pineapple
37:03
Express he was even in a Ridley Scot movie Just because he wanted to please
37:08
you Matt he was an alien
37:13
Covenant he was he was fine in Alien Covenant I guess so what do you hate him
37:17
for I just I was like he's apparently he plays crocodile
37:22
Dandy's son American son yep yeah who
37:27
and I mean don't get me wrong Paul Hogan's in it of course he is
37:33
well he better pay his taxes this time that's all I've got to say
37:37
yeah and then I don't know I just I get maybe you don't see him as much over
37:43
there but Dan MC rid's in [ __ ] everything here he's on TV I can't get
37:45
away from him he's in Mountain Dew commercials every five minutes he's in
37:50
he's on [ __ ] Billboards everywhere I'm just I've had enough of
37:55
him too many billboards okay well there you go yeah over here he's
38:01
not in anything yeah and he's not on any Billboards here I can assure you of that
38:07
Matt bet do you have for you're welcome to move back
38:13
here do they have Billboards in Singapore or is that they're not uh now
38:17
that you say it no I don't I don't think they do I can't imagine they would
38:21
because that I mean they're ugly and [ __ ] annoying so I imagine they would
38:24
be like no [ __ ] that yeah now that you say it yep mind you I do travel quite a
38:30
bit in the rest of the region of Southeast Asia where they do have a lot
38:34
of billboards and I've not seen Danny McBride on a single
38:38
one not into Danny McBride over there I think the only thing I've seen him on is
38:43
when Xbox were advertising the Xbox play program he was on that yeah that's right
38:48
he was all over the [ __ ] walls at E3 as well sick of
38:54
him you should know that stage you're welcome no he's all right he's all right
39:00
I'm just I I saw this and I was like no I it looks like bad movie oh this this
39:05
does look like a bad movie oh absolutely sort of going to sort of have
39:10
the charm of the original or this is just going to be uh a stupid American in
39:14
the outback getting into Mischief yeah probably wait well isn't that what the
39:19
first one was really the with the the his girlfriend
39:24
or whatever she came she was American right and she came over and she didn't
39:27
understand crocodiles and yeah crocod I just realized that sentence is
39:33
ridiculous no that's what theiles that's how they pitch it so it's like some
39:38
[ __ ] yank Sheila comes over and she doesn't [ __ ] understand crocodiles
39:42
she's like well how's that thing work maybe menist of doing a cut where all
39:46
the women are removed from the crocodile dunde films they just have too many
39:51
ideas God meninists people go too far with things
39:57
I don't know you've noticed that on the internet internet is a terrible terrible
40:03
Place yeah sure is can we discuss we
40:09
said we were going to do this and we kind of we've we've talked about a
40:12
little bit sporadically but I do want to discuss with
40:16
Luke the switch in general know when I'm not wanted no no no well you I mean
40:21
you're welcome to uh jump but you don't have a s with Luke you're very specific
40:26
there no I didn't mean it like that the switch I want to talk about the switch
40:31
and the breath and breath of the wild in particular I want to know what is it
40:34
that you don't like about breath well you said uh we discussed it briefly the
40:38
other week and you said you don't like climbing things is that your main
40:43
actually that was more so my fault I kept forgetting I could claim things
40:47
right no I just had a hard time trying to follow the story what little of it
40:53
there is right you have to seek it
40:58
out like CU you could just wander off and not do the story it's like Skyrim in
41:02
that sense you've got to really want there to be a story no it's like you know in Skyrim
41:07
you can you can just off and not do anything but you can run into exciting
41:12
stuff in breath of the wild you wander off and you can fight some things but
41:17
there's no interesting stuff to find that I found anyway I mean there quests
41:23
and things I mean maybe it's maybe maybe there's less than
41:27
Skyrim I guess but there's definitely there's a lot less than Skyrim you bump
41:30
into people and they say I need you to do this and you go and do it you can't
41:34
walk five meters in Skyrim without running into someone to asks you to do
41:38
something man I wish real life was like that hey if you wanted to do something
41:42
you just wait till a stranger walks past and then you just ask them to go and
41:45
complete a quest for you excuse me do you need need something done cuz it you
41:50
know some of the quests are you know like pretty intense but some of them are
41:53
just like I need five pelts yeah well go get him
41:59
yourself why would I when you're prepared to do it for
42:04
experience all right I'll be back yeah and also the controller I just
42:10
hate I don't enjoy the controller but that's what breath of the world's fault
42:14
I'm like see I I I tried to use the Xbox the other day and I was like ah
42:17
controller doesn't feel right how do you contort your hand to make it feel
42:22
comfortable on the switch controller I don't know man I just take the two
42:26
little things off the side and I hold them in my hands and I play the game
42:30
maybe what you need Luke is a cardboard
42:34
box well you're in luck nintend Nintendo
42:39
have read your mind I did see this and I don't know
42:45
what to think of it I mean it looks cool
42:50
but also it is just cardboard so it it's
42:54
odd but I guess it could be be very cool
42:58
so Nintendo has announced labo or labo
43:02
it's labo labia
43:08
it's it's cardboard that you fold into the shape of something like there's one
43:13
it's like a little keyboard like is in a musical keyboard uh there there's like a
43:17
robot one uh there's a fishing rod and you construct the item in question out of
43:23
cardboard like you make a fishing rod out of cardboard you put the Wii we put
43:28
the [ __ ] switch controller in it and then using the software on the switch
43:34
you can use the fishing rod but it's made of cardboard like which is it's
43:40
something it's it's a good way to make stuff cheap like cuz they've always had
43:45
things like the fishing rod the fishing rod is nothing new they've had that
43:49
since Dreamcast has had a fishing rod but it's always been
43:53
expensive uh I'll stop you there this is $0 for what it's
44:00
cardboard I thought these were going to be $2 each I was thinking 10 to 15 it's $70
44:07
for the variety kit which includes a house R cars fishing rod motorbike and
44:11
piano let's just let's just reiterate they're made out of cardboard yes they
44:17
are and there's a robot kit if you could download a picture of these online uh
44:24
then you could just cut around a cardboard box and have one of these
44:27
I guess probably people will do that but well I can't imagine anyone not
44:33
doing that if that's an option this is just such an odd thing I I mean here put
44:39
something like that on your website and be like look at all the cool things you
44:43
can do with your switch like as a marketing tool right no no like $70 like
44:50
$70 for the sort of lot of them is actually the right price point I would
44:54
think but I don't want to buy the set I just want to by
44:59
one and so 10 bucks if they had the fishing rod for 10 bucks I would pick that
45:04
up but I'm not going to spend $70 for a what do I want a house
45:10
for well how's a house going to help me play with my switch well I mean yeah I
45:16
don't know what the house is for either but I have little to no interest in
45:19
pretending I'm fishing put it that way I no fishing's
45:24
fun in fact yeah but
45:30
is not holding your hands out in front of you like that's not the fun part of
45:38
fishing come I mean exx and also as you said it
45:44
is just cardboard so there's no
45:48
uh I mean a cardboard that you can fold into the shape of something else but
45:55
still any cardboard any cardboard can be folded right I just I just don't want anyone to
46:02
forget what this is they don't want to
46:05
this is a box a $70 box of pieces of box
46:11
it's like if you bought a video game and then open the box but wait the box is
46:15
the video game yeah yeah in fact what they should do is they should start just
46:19
printing these on the back of game boxes not that they do game boxes in cardboard
46:24
anymore but you know that' be a thing I could get on board turn my box into a little
46:30
thing that would be very cool yeah they're just asking far too much for
46:36
it yeah well all right I feel like we didn't really get down to the nuts and
46:41
bolts of the uh of your distaste for the switch oh no
46:45
achievements yeah I I I wondered if that was a factor as well it is a very big
46:49
factor why would I sit there and spend hours playing a game if I don't get any
46:53
achievement but that's hardly that's hardly a a criticism of the device self
46:57
because it's fun why do you control achievements have destroyed gaming for
47:03
me that sucks I guess it really does but I can't
47:08
stop because I don't even care about him I got a bunch of achievements playing
47:12
the jackbox games with some friends the other night I
47:18
know not only does Luke care about his own achievements he cares about he does
47:22
I know the jackbox achievement was the game you playing it's 25th game you've
47:27
played on the Xbox oh wow congratulations wow well I'm currently
47:33
getting absolutely no achievements because I'm playing a game that's in
47:36
pre-release oh yeah so tell me how is
47:39
that yeah so I'm playing Conan Exiles and I'm [ __ ] loving it now it might
47:45
not be the type of game I would normally
47:48
play um for stars it's an MMO right and
47:53
I've never played an MMO before so so are you playing with anyone have you
47:57
made friends online no no no so I'm playing this as a solo Adventure at this
48:03
point I might when when the real game comes out I I might consider it probably
48:07
not though let's be honest basically I'm just did you did you pay for this yeah I
48:13
did so I downloaded the free demo right uh and then uh I played that over the
48:20
weekend that I had it and uh just really I just love the world the World building
48:24
in this is really really cool and and you know it's just a survival game so
48:28
I'm just I'm just trying to keep myself alive built myself a little house and I
48:32
didn't want to I didn't want to stop so I I paid for the pre-release so H so
48:37
it's an adult version of Minecraft yes it is exactly that it is 100% that it is
48:44
Minecraft without the cubes do you feel like I might try it is it the kind of
48:49
game are you going to keep you going to keep at it for a little bit like is this
48:53
like cuz we always say what you're suggesting is that we get a server where
48:57
we are in this world together then I am 100% down for that all right I'll give
49:02
it a shot because we did that for Minecraft and it was hella fun yes
49:07
yes the the only the problem that we had then was we were still in the same
49:11
[ __ ] country and we still couldn't find overlapping times to to play games
49:15
together now it's worse but yeah but it didn't matter because like like I would
49:20
I would be doing my own I didn't play with you I'd just go for mine and
49:24
skybridge yeah and then one day I I just come and just check out how Luke
49:28
skybridge was coming along and he'd be like hey do you have any do you have any
49:32
glass I'd be like yeah man help yourself remember there was a chest one day I
49:36
just got in there it was a chest was full of [ __ ] Luke had left for us it was
49:39
just like help yourself yep cuz I I don't know I just really Minecraft I
49:44
enjoyed just mining didn't want to build a
49:49
house in fact just make me a game mine forget the
49:54
craft mine and then and sell mine mine
49:59
mine mine more mine more mine
50:02
mine will you mine in this too so whoa
50:07
you mine you cut down trees I mean it is Minecraft is it available on the
50:12
Nintendo switch I'm joking uh it is not it is and it will not
50:16
be you'll see to that yes cuz I'm the deciding factor on
50:22
what gets released there maybe you are I don't know I don't
50:26
know I know what you do I don't know where you work I don't know what you're up
50:29
to no one does I don't really know what he does either top
50:35
secret the top of secet ever find out I might buy it now but I won't play
50:41
it until it's officially released well Conan Exiles what you can uh you can
50:47
play for free for a weekend if if you so no if you buy cuz it's in the the Xbox
50:53
preview program if you buy it now you'll get it cheaper now than when
50:57
becomes fully released yeah I mean I paid 60 bucks for it so it's going to be
51:01
more than that when it's released for sure yeah the only difference the only thing
51:06
I'm upset about getting on the Xbox over the PC is no dicks you just said 60
51:10
bucks and I was like but then that probably means it's going to be like 30
51:14
here CU I was like 60 bucks is a lot for a game now like because I'm used to
51:19
American prices yeah you're $60 game is our 100 plus game yeah that's why you
51:24
said 60 and I was like the [ __ ] but yeah it'll be 30 I
51:30
bet yeah which is basically the same yeah yeah I just took me a moment to
51:36
reconcile that which is ridiculous because I've only been here a year and
51:40
I'm already like well it's been easy for me because Singapore a Singapore and
51:44
Australian dollars are basically neck and neck all the time so
51:49
right I still have trouble I go to the supermarket right and then I look at the
51:55
price of anything like you know like a coton of milk I'm like I don't know this
51:58
is expensive I can't tell I have no idea what's normal like I don't know what
52:02
Norm what stuff normally costs yeah whereas in Australia that's mean every
52:06
other country I go to right like if I go to it was in Australia and it was like
52:10
packet of biscuits $20 I'd be like what the [ __ ] whereas here I don't know maybe
52:14
that's normal I have no idea we uh 20 bucks I w't spend more than $2 on a
52:19
packet of biscuits exactly that's because you're familiar with the price
52:23
of biscuits we did a shoot in uh Indonesia recently and uh we paid for we
52:29
paid for an actor to star in it and we paid him a billion ring and I was like
52:36
[ __ ] what it's a thousand
52:41
bucks wow wow that money is worthless
52:45
and you know they've uh not in his not in his country it's not well I mean but
52:51
I mean you can't buy something for one ring it that's for damn sure but they
52:55
actually tried to uh try to just remove zeros right because if you I think if
53:01
yeah like if you if you want to work out with the price you move the decimal
53:03
point like six places to the left right
53:07
um but uh it's like Japanese where the numbers the same it's just the decimal
53:13
place that moves right but uh they they
53:17
tried but because there's a lot of uneducated peasant class in the
53:23
provinces who don't understand they just
53:27
refuse to vote for it you know they're like wait you mean I I'll have like 100
53:33
ring instead of a billion ring it no thanks yeah right they think it's just
53:39
they're going to take away all their money yeah yeah that's
53:44
funny yeah I remember um when I was young and I found out that Yen there's
53:49
like a thousand yen in a dollar or something like that not even at all but
53:53
that's that was how my child mind was is like ,000 dollar why
53:58
bother like let me find out currently a one yen
54:03
coin I still have one yen yeah that's not I've got a I got I still have my
54:09
coin collection here somewhere I brought it from
54:13
Australia from when I was child yeah so
54:17
one one1 Us doll is 100 yen oh okay
54:22
that's not so bad it's like a penny yeah it's basically the there's no
54:27
cents there's only dollars right so if you if you
54:32
consider a dollar to be a cent then than $100 is the equivalent of a
54:37
dollar right should get rid of [ __ ] pennies here they drive me crazy I don't know
54:42
what people like mate they should give give anything under a dollar nothing
54:47
costs less than a dollar just make things even numbers yeah I'm sick of
54:53
1995 don't care make it 20 bucks that's how un much I think it's going to cost
54:57
me yeah that's right here anymore it' be 1997 or something and then it's like you
55:02
got these [ __ ] coins hanging around you can't do anything with well and then
55:05
it's still $21 something because of your stupid way of doing
55:09
tax yeah that's true as well hon that's I do forget that sometimes no everything
55:15
is taxed here that's that's what makes it worse I can't remember what what is and what
55:19
isn't I just don't even I just [ __ ] pay charge me whatever I don't care how
55:23
much the tax is going to be just tell me how much money I have to give to you
55:27
they don't you tax side they don't know until you put it in the thing at the end
55:31
they don't know like the cuz each items
55:34
tax differently right exactly just just print that out on the thing that where I
55:40
pick it up from someone someone correct me if I'm wrong but in Rhode Island here
55:45
uh there's no tax on clothing I think um there's a sales tax and there's also
55:51
something called meals tax which is like 2% which is something completely
55:55
different like so it's [ __ ] I don't know I they could charge me anything I
55:59
wouldn't know any better I don't understand it and I tell
56:05
people oh no in Australia you just you pay what the [ __ ] thing says and
56:08
that's it like if it says it's $10 it's $10 and also you don't have to tip them
56:13
because they pay them yeah we just pay them properly yeah does that confuse
56:18
Americans they like well what's the fun and know and what you got to pay for all the
56:25
time yep that is exactly what they always say and I'm like nailed it
56:31
yeah you're like yeah you're right it's no fun no fun no but they do say oh no
56:35
that sounds pretty good I'm like yeah it it actually is is pretty good my math
56:39
skills would deteriorate if I didn't have to use it 30 times a
56:44
day you know like uh waitresses and and you know the uh I guess hospitality jobs
56:50
not all of them but uh like waitresses and bartenders right um maybe bartender
56:56
is a different if you go to a restaurant right they get taxed on what they the
57:01
government assumes you're going to make in tips right yes so and they don't get
57:06
paid because if you are if you're a waitress or a waiter in a restaurant
57:10
right you get paid in tips and um they will the often is my understanding of it
57:17
the company the place you work for will take a cut of the tips uh and then you
57:21
get what's left over and then your paycheck will be like 2 cents because
57:25
you will have earned earned more than the minimum wage in tips therefore the
57:30
the restaurant does not pay you at all you get paid by your tips but
57:35
then wait wait but then when IRS comes to do the tax they're like well you've
57:40
only earned two cents this year so you don't have to pay any [ __ ] tax and
57:44
that's that's why when when people come overseas if you're traveling in America
57:48
listeners like know this if you if you're like [ __ ] tipping tipping is
57:52
[ __ ] stupid I'm not going to encourage it you're actually not paying
57:56
paying the person they're not getting a wage like that the the it's I know it's
58:00
stupid but the food actually the price of the food does not
58:05
include like money for the person bringing it to you they do not get paid
58:10
if you don't tip them yeah I don't know it's just how it is if you don't tip
58:14
they don't get any money land of opportunity but on the flip side uh you
58:21
can make a [ __ ] fortune in tips if if you're really good at at the job
58:28
but only at places that don't split it right yes oh yeah that's the other thing
58:32
too yeah sometimes they split the tips equally amongst all the stuff which is
58:36
[ __ ] too because what if someone's [ __ ] yeah what if someone's got better
58:40
tits than someone else exactly yeah I don't know it's
58:47
Madness but they it's what they used to and I don't want to change
58:52
it that's what Harvey onstein said
58:57
it didn't work out for him though in the end it's what I'm used to and I don't
59:01
want to change it all right well I guess you just have to retire with all your
59:07
multiple millions of dollars yeah oh there'll be lawsuits starting you'll
59:11
lose all of that oh I know yeah but he's he'll be fine like he's going to be poor people
59:18
poor he's going to be rich people true exactly all he's going to have is the
59:22
money he's been funneling into Swiss offshore bank accounts yeah exactly and
59:26
he's and he's still going to be miserable about it because he's used to
59:29
