• 0:58
  Things nerd
• 1:03
  okay so I'm happy I am stopped playing Pokémon oh you stopped completely given
• 1:08
  up I got out at right time are you guys still playing yeah I'm still playing a
• 1:12
  bit I mean it's only just kind of catching on here yeah I haven't played
• 1:15
  it that much this week I'll be honest have either of you been raped
• 1:19
  yet in relation to this or just in general just in you've been raped my
• 1:24
  lawyers don't want me to talk about that been raped no no no well um a woman
• 1:31
  is claiming she's been raped by a Pokémon MH by a Pokemon even went to the
• 1:35
  police about it yep by a Charizard I believe oh right I I'm not making this
• 1:41
  up a woman went to the police to say she's been assaulted by a Pokémon and
• 1:47
  she's got the proof because on her phone
• 1:49
  she saw the Pokémon on her bed yeah what
• 1:54
  uh okay what's what's wrong with her uh
• 1:58
  do we know issues I think is what the police told her they said we won't be
• 2:03
  filing this as a charge but we do advise that you go and seek psychiatric help
• 2:08
  yeah she's a married woman her name has not been released she was playing
• 2:12
  Pokémon go fell asleep and claims that she woke up to find a huge Pokémon lying
• 2:18
  on top of her and says it was raping her she told her husband and her husband
• 2:22
  just went you're an idiot yeah W yeah so that's why she went to the police this
• 2:26
  is kind of like that Michael Jackson thing I'm just happy I got out early
• 2:31
  before the Pokémon started a turn but here's the thing the Michael Jackson
• 2:35
  thing was clearly an afterthought A desperate attempt yeah to explain why
• 2:41
  she had become pregnant to another man once it became obvious that the black
• 2:45
  baby she had was not her husband's and she kind of fumbled around and the best
• 2:50
  excuse she could come up with at short notice was I fell asleep watching a
• 2:53
  Michael Jackson documentary and his ghost impregnated me right but I don't
• 2:58
  see what this woman trying to the Charmander and saying that
• 3:05
  he raped her well her husband is saying he does not believe her and told her to see a
• 3:11
  psychiatrist sensible but this is sadder this is sadder than the Michael Jackson
• 3:15
  cu the Michael Jackson one it's it's really sad for that poor husband who's
• 3:18
  going along with this he can't still be going along with that well I just mean
• 3:22
  that in this one even the husband went well that's [ __ ] and she was like
• 3:26
  darling I was raped and I want you to take me seriously
• 3:30
  apparently there's a precedent for this anyway because her the Woman's friend
• 3:34
  says uh that the the woman in question complains that there are too many
• 3:38
  Pokémon at her house and that the dog can sense them and the dog barks
• 3:43
  whenever she plays Pokémon go because it can sense that there are actually
• 3:46
  Pokemon there so she thinks this is real yeah mind you my boss was telling
• 3:51
  me that she tried to play a practical joke I'm doing air quotes here uh on her
• 3:57
  son by in the middle of the night screaming out that there was a rare Pokémon on the
• 4:02
  stairs and the sun was like Mom you can't you can't see
• 4:08
  them jokes on her but I just likeing this like she
• 4:14
  thinks that the dog can sents them the dog doesn't bark to notify that they're
• 4:19
  around it barks when she's on her phone yeah of course cuz yeah cuz she's
• 4:22
  ignoring the dog cuz it hasn't been fed yeah probably well yeah no I'm I'm maybe I
• 4:29
  should stay away from the game as well yeah don't want you or or just make sure
• 4:32
  that you're you're in a safe place and there's someone around you if you've
• 4:37
  been playing recently and you going to have that someone can keep watch someone
• 4:41
  can hold you down we've had some sad news some very sad news I don't want to talk about it
• 4:48
  you don't want to talk about it guys no I know we joke but I genuinely bummed
• 4:55
  out when I heard this news like I got a little bit I got a little bit
• 5:00
  choked up well I had just and we'll talk about this later I literally walked came
• 5:04
  out of Suicide Squad and read that message from you guys so we can talk
• 5:08
  about how doubly depressing that was
• 5:13
  later yeah man you didn't like that brilliant piece of Cinema we'll talk
• 5:18
  about that later um but but the news the news what's the news someone else can
• 5:23
  say it I don't want to say it I can't say it out loud Luke I
• 5:28
  think has died yeah y yeah no look Kenny
• 5:34
  Baker the uh the famous actor who was inside of
• 5:40
  R2-D2 legally for uh for what Six Star Wars films he wasn't in the little
• 5:46
  [ __ ] who jiggled him around and moved his head from side to side has finally died of
• 5:53
  [Laughter] AIDS for those who are new to the show oh you know what don't worry about it
• 5:59
  I'm not going to explaining yeah he uh he passed away just yesterday at the age
• 6:03
  of 81 I believe this might about do you know him from doing anything else apart
• 6:07
  from R2D2 he played an Ewok also inw yeah yeah I'd actually go as far as
• 6:13
  saying he's only the second most famous [ __ ] in the Star Wars Trilogy that's
• 6:18
  right yeah because I would say that uh Warick Davis is is arguably more famous
• 6:24
  than Kenny Baker even though 3PO is more famous than Wicked yeah yeah but Kenny
• 6:29
  Baker didn't get Willow and 30 years later a sitcom that's right well I guess
• 6:35
  he uh I mean maybe he didn't go for those roles maybe he was he was happy to rest
• 6:40
  on his Laurels after his his performances happy to rest on anything
• 6:44
  at 81 because I'll say this uh 81 is old for a dwarf yeah I wondered that too
• 6:51
  actually well his family said that this was obviously not unexpected uh but
• 6:55
  still sad um yeah cuz I I I wondered about that too cuz they don't have as
• 7:00
  long a lifespan generally speaking it's like dog years I
• 7:06
  believe God midg years yeah but I don't yeah
• 7:11
  this one just hit me for some reason and I can't work out why well because he
• 7:16
  portrayed you know one of your most beloved characters I assume no not in
• 7:20
  the force awakens he didn't no no he did not awaken for that he was still in the
• 7:25
  force awakens yeah and he was a consultant on uh who did he play in it
• 7:31
  uh he was just a bit part during in the force awakens he was see him during the
• 7:36
  race the pod race oh Force awak sorry I thought he Phantom Menace he was in
• 7:41
  wasn't he in he wasn't in he wasn't R2 in phant Menace either oh R2 was but he
• 7:46
  wasn't inside R2 did he only do Three Star Wars films is that because R2 was
• 7:50
  all CGI by that point or do they replace Kenny Baker because if that's the cas
• 7:55
  I'm legitimately angry replace him they actually just didn't have any inside him
• 8:00
  anymore oh oh cuz he was just animatronic yeah oh all right fine
• 8:06
  didn't even think of that yeah just in the first sort of three movies where
• 8:10
  they didn't really have the technology for it just throw someone in there
• 8:14
  wiggle thanks you can go home now yeah right well and he very famously uh
• 8:20
  almost died in the Tunisian Desert inside of that costume almost cooked
• 8:26
  trash can yeah but obviously co-star Mark Hamill is more distressed than we
• 8:31
  are sure and he's come out and said that Kenny Baker was the Droid that he was
• 8:35
  looking for really know what that means but neither but I choked up when I read
• 8:40
  that as well yeah no look sad news um and obviously that means we're going to
• 8:46
  have to name Kenny Baker geek of the
• 8:51
  week we I don't know if he was a geek we've we've given the geek of the week
• 8:56
  award to a lot of famous you know lot of celebrity who have been in geeky films
• 9:01
  who have died but I don't know if they actually are Geeks like do you have to
• 9:04
  be a geek to to portray a character in a
• 9:07
  nerdy film uh I think they kind of think
• 9:11
  they honorary honorary yeah that's what I think too yeah because when you go and
• 9:17
  see them at conventions remember when we saw Nicholas Brendan and that Dopey
• 9:20
  [ __ ] that plays Ana Ana and like he was well into it and he knew all the
• 9:27
  episodes and all the characters and didn't seem to even understand what
• 9:30
  Buffy the Vampire Slayer was yeah I know yeah when she dies of AIDS she
• 9:36
  ain't going to be our geek of the week I'm telling you that right now Nicholas
• 9:39
  Brendan will just just because Nicholas Brendan has been our
• 9:42
  geek of the week in the past and he hasn't even died of AIDS yet no but he
• 9:47
  just he just continues to entertain us we've been watching Buffy episodes uh
• 9:52
  here it's on Netflix here have you yeah yeah what season have you been watching
• 9:56
  season 3 and it's I've actually been watching it lat as well cuz Hannah's
• 10:00
  never seen it oh really so I've been going back and watching from the start
• 10:04
  with her we're up to about season we're up to about season 3 now my God what was
• 10:08
  she doing in the early 2000s she's a little bit younger than us okay I won't
• 10:14
  ask but yeah it's just so good like I mean it holds up for me I don't know if
• 10:19
  it's just because I watched it at the time but like it's so clever I've yeah I
• 10:23
  found out had to get past the first season that one didn't date as well as
• 10:28
  the rest yeah no I agree who who's the villain in season 3 the mayor well
• 10:34
  there's various but the mayor is the oh yeah Faith yeah but there that one my
• 10:39
  favorite season oh really see it's one of mine there's that great episode you
• 10:42
  know when Buffy takes on the aspect of the demon she can read everybody's mind
• 10:47
  yeah it's just that great thing where like it like people are all thinking all
• 10:51
  this weird stuff and every time it's Cordelia she just her brain says a thing
• 10:55
  and then she just says it every time she just says exactly what what in her head
• 10:59
  it's amazing so clever season 3 did have some great Standalone episodes hush is
• 11:03
  from season 3 too right no season 4 that's when she's a college really yeah
• 11:08
  see season 4 had the best character arcs yeah but the worst villain and the worst
• 11:14
  like season Arc the worst Riley oh Riley
• 11:18
  awful yeah and Adam awful yeah Adam Jesus Christ no I love it but I mean
• 11:24
  that was the season that Willow really came into her own that all of the side
• 11:28
  characters started getting really fleshed out yeah really is this what
• 11:32
  we're doing this week we're talking about Buffy I guess so all right you don't to
• 11:37
  talk about Buffy do you want to talk I mentioned it already do you want to talk
• 11:40
  about suicide squad oh we may as well Luke have you seen Suicide Squad
• 11:45
  I I want I don't want to say it oh you Haven don't I should say it but I just
• 11:52
  can't be bothered because it just sounds terrible look there's a film that I I
• 11:57
  would like in there somewhere that's exactly what I said Matt yeah but
• 12:02
  you know what I have a feeling there was a film we might have liked before they
• 12:06
  did audience testing yeah and before some studio exec said you have to make
• 12:12
  this way more like Guardians of the Galaxy and so they put a whole bunch of
• 12:15
  pop music in there for no reason you know what I read it they I read a thing
• 12:18
  that said that they they had the film and they they test screened it and they
• 12:21
  were worried about it and then they got the company that made the trailer that
• 12:26
  everybody loved to re-edit the film and you know what it I mean I don't know
• 12:29
  whether I'm I was thinking that because I I knew that already but it just feels
• 12:34
  like it was edited into about 100 trailers absolutely every that trailer
• 12:40
  with that trailer was it you actually like the trailer or was it the music
• 12:43
  that sucked you in cuz that's it was just all these little it the way you
• 12:47
  know the way a trailer works is it's like a little tiny film like there's a
• 12:51
  there's a scene and then there's a conflict and then it gets resolved and
• 12:54
  then someone says a little oneliner and then they all leave and then that's this
• 12:58
  movie is just that like over and over again yeah and I have a feeling that
• 13:03
  some of those little flashback quick cut sequences were whole scenes that played
• 13:07
  out in the original film yeah exactly yeah evently a lot of Joker scenes were
• 13:11
  cut a lot yeah well I've got no problem with that to be honest yeah to be yeah I
• 13:14
  don't want to see any more of that oh my God I don't know after Heath Ledger
• 13:20
  wowed us yeah this is what they come up with for the Joker unless because he I I
• 13:27
  saw an interview with Jared Leto and he said that he wanted to give them a lot
• 13:31
  of options so I'm I'm I mean unless he just gave them too many options and they
• 13:36
  chose bad options he was terrible yeah I think from an actor's
• 13:40
  point of view giving them a lot of options means you didn't do a very good
• 13:44
  job of finding your character or maybe it's just Jared Jared could you just read the
• 13:49
  script just read what's on the line there that that'd be great yeah stop giving us
• 13:55
  options You' got enough options you know I feel bad for in all of this Ben
• 14:00
  affle oh oh yes cuz he's in this a bit
• 14:04
  but he's like I mean he he's not he's fine in this as well but like I can
• 14:09
  imagine just him sitting there watching this going oh for God's
• 14:13
  sake yeah I'm Batman in this I really think they need to slow down I think the
• 14:19
  problem with this is if they're rushing ahead to try and catch up with Marvel
• 14:24
  yeah and so he you've got 13 villains who we're just going to throw in and
• 14:27
  we've got they just a move now let's go move on I think the problem is they're
• 14:32
  yeah they're they are rushing and they're they don't know what's wrong
• 14:37
  they don't know why it's not working and they're just trying all this [ __ ] making
• 14:41
  a mess I can tell them why just ask us we will tell you listen to this podcast
• 14:46
  guys I really want to talk about this and Luke you're not going to see it Matt
• 14:49
  you've already seen it yeah listeners I don't know whether you've seen it or not
• 14:51
  but we can't really talk about this without maybe the potential of getting
• 14:56
  into some spoilers so spoiler alert don't know it matters for this cuzz the
• 15:00
  plot is just it doesn't even matter like so yeah we'll talk spoilers but I mean I
• 15:05
  don't think it I'm pretty sure I can work it out from the trailers okay can I
• 15:08
  just say this right some woman right
• 15:13
  decides we need a team of super villains to fight a potentially bad superhero
• 15:19
  that she's imagined up that might come one day yes and in assembling this team
• 15:24
  of super villains One becomes the bad guy a mega super villain yeah and then
• 15:29
  she really has to get the rest of the villains together to fight it yeah right
• 15:34
  chicken and egg scenario yeah there was she assembles a squad and in assembling
• 15:38
  the squad she creates a scenario where she needs the squad yeah but skipping
• 15:43
  right to the end into the post-credit sequence where Ben Affleck as Bruce
• 15:48
  Wayne actually has to walk in and say right that didn't go very well let me
• 15:53
  handle it in future yeah I know that's what which is funny Frome point of view
• 15:59
  why couldn't Batman have done all of this exactly if he was there watching
• 16:03
  this and willing to participate just ask him for help yeah not only that it's
• 16:07
  almost like the movie itself was saying don't worry there won't be any more
• 16:11
  Suicide Squad movies the next one will be Justice League and we promise it's
• 16:14
  better yeah that's right just getting this out of the
• 16:19
  way but like why why are any of the villains in
• 16:26
  this apart from the fact that they they comic book villain
• 16:29
  who in the comic books because they're established as as villains you know it
• 16:33
  made a cool story but most of them are just useless in this scenario anyway the
• 16:38
  only person oh absolutely that that that I can see the government actually saying
• 16:42
  maybe we should try and get this guy on our side is Deadshot or Diablo he's a guy that can
• 16:47
  actually do things yeah but he he's like too unpredictable like is literally a
• 16:52
  high here's here's a briefcase full of money you work for us now yeah you're a
• 16:57
  really great shot do it for us yeah but here's the thing right an Australian
• 17:03
  [ __ ] bank robber with a boomerang what the [ __ ] up against two
• 17:08
  ass Tech Gods yeah he's not going to be able to do [ __ ] all no I don't even
• 17:13
  understand why Harley was there I mean apart from the fact that she was the
• 17:16
  only good character in this yeah and she was a great character too like she
• 17:22
  actually was cool and a Harley movie might be good or a Batman versus Joker
• 17:25
  movie that features Harley might be good but they wasted on this and they wasted
• 17:30
  The Joker yeah I agree I'm really not liking Jared L as a joker no he was well
• 17:37
  I tell you Luke having not seen the movie you are in a fantastic place to go
• 17:41
  either way right now yeah you think you don't like him well I just keep even
• 17:46
  from I think I don't like him as an actor now you know what I would have
• 17:49
  done just from what I hear from what how he's played The Joker I would have
• 17:54
  played it totally straight that's what I would have done quiet unpredictable
• 17:59
  sociopath that's what I would have done because you you've got Heath Ledger
• 18:04
  going all [ __ ] crazy nuts batshit lunatic yeah so don't don't do a
• 18:10
  different version of that do something else cuz in this he's not even that
• 18:14
  crazy Cesar Romero was better at the Joker than Jared Leto is he's just kind
• 18:20
  of eccentric in this like he doesn't hey dude do you want to [ __ ] my girlfriend
• 18:25
  yeah man she's your girl no go on [ __ ] her know you want her yeah I do want her
• 18:30
  she's hot but she's your girlfriend so I'm going to say no well [ __ ] you dead
• 18:34
  yeah he's kind of like a he's like a a weirdo gangster he's not like the Joker
• 18:39
  yeah and even method actor and he sent people like a rat and stuff like he's
• 18:43
  crazy well he he says that they shot a lot more and it got cut out and and I I
• 18:48
  don't know well of course he's going to say that like yeah well I mean I'd be
• 18:51
  happy for them I promise I was better but they cut out the bits where I was
• 18:54
  better well they should have cut it all out he doesn't influence the plot yeah
• 18:57
  if he they had to put in everything I want it would have been a good movie
• 19:00
  yeah and I mean a lot of their backstory stuff didn't make a whole lot of sense
• 19:03
  anyway was that that weird scene where I know that apparently I know what you're
• 19:07
  going to say apparently this happens in the comics and it's a kind of a
• 19:10
  throwback I guess to the Tim Burton Batman where there's all these Vats of
• 19:15
  chemicals at ace chemicals cuz it's ace chemicals not axis and uh he has a
• 19:20
  little scene with Harley he says do you love me well then jump into the
• 19:23
  chemicals and then so she jumps in and then he jumps in after but it was
• 19:27
  like like was it just didn't really fit and like it didn't make any sense well
• 19:31
  here's the thing if we are assuming that the Joker became all [ __ ] pale and
• 19:38
  green head because he drove into the chemicals right yeah and he's now asking
• 19:42
  Harley to do it and she does it and then about 2 minutes later as an afterthought
• 19:48
  he goes a [ __ ] it I'll jump in as well right he jumps in it has no effect on
• 19:53
  him because we're assuming he's already had it done to him and it just makes no
• 19:57
  sense she's gone insane because of a scene we've seen previously yeah and and also his
• 20:04
  hesitation I'm like what are we supposed to take his you know like he pauses
• 20:07
  before he jumps in like he was like sucker and then he was like oh wait no I
• 20:11
  do love her like what what is that it was just so strange maybe that was one
• 20:15
  of the options they were given I'll do an option where I don't go
• 20:20
  at all I'll do one where I go straight away and I'll do one where I pause first
• 20:25
  oh man apparently as well uh can't remember I read this you know the scene where uh
• 20:32
  she none of this it's so [ __ ] messy she gets her bomb in her neck disabled
• 20:37
  and then he comes and gets her in the helicopter right but she falls out of the
• 20:41
  helicopter apparently there's also another version uh which got changed
• 20:46
  because of test audiences another option where he pushes her
• 20:50
  out I'm like I'll do one more I push her one where she falls one where she pushes
• 20:54
  me out did they even have a script or he was just like oh I'll give you some options
• 20:58
  [Laughter] it was a Choose Your Own Adventure yeah
• 21:04
  make one where I fall out yeah yeah try
• 21:08
  that makes no sense the whole thing way we used to make
• 21:13
  movies no just what do you want to do next knowing what the plot was until you
• 21:17
  were filming okay what happens next yeah and then it's like oh wait we said
• 21:20
  something else in the first scene ah whatever no one will
• 21:23
  notice um how did she get a
• 21:27
  phone uh the security guard got paid to give it to her right see I missed that I
• 21:33
  was like what the [ __ ] where did she get you missed it because it happened in a
• 21:37
  [ __ ] 10 frame scene edited like a [ __ ] music video or film clip yeah
• 21:43
  right okay because all I know is that they had them restrained in will also
• 21:48
  they let Will Smith out or sorry Deadshot he wasn't Deadshot he was just
• 21:52
  Will Smith and he was good in it but he was just Will Smith like he's
• 21:56
  entertaining um let him out they have a conversation with him they give him a
• 22:00
  gun like they play that out right and then he's on their side presumably but
• 22:05
  then in the next scene where they go to get him he's like going to fight that
• 22:09
  whole SWAT team of guys who are coming in to get him like like yeah wait when
• 22:13
  did he revert to like not being in on the joke in on the well I I I think this
• 22:19
  is another case of they had options and they ended up using both cuz the same
• 22:23
  thing happened with Harley Quinn we got an introductory scene to her then later
• 22:28
  in the film we we got another introduction when they were busting her
• 22:30
  out of prison we're like no no no we've seen this yeah
• 22:34
  right it's like they reshot some things and left the bits they were supposed to
• 22:40
  replace in as well you know actually really through the structure of this
• 22:44
  movie right off right okay and the other thing is they assembled The Suicide
• 22:48
  Squad and then it's at the last minute it's like oh oh and here's this other
• 22:51
  guy who's part of the squad as well oh and look here's another person as well
• 22:55
  like yeah like what the [ __ ] you've never heard of these guys before so
• 22:58
  they're not going to get uh any Exposition we get backstory on everybody
• 23:01
  this is this is you know this is Deadshot this is Harley this is Killer
• 23:05
  Croc blah blah blah uh oh and then just before we go that slip not over there he
• 23:10
  he climbs things uh and then as they're in the plane taking off Katana jumps in
• 23:16
  oh this is Katana as well she's got a sword yeah she's here for a slightly
• 23:19
  different reason than you that we want to go into no cuz she's she's a good guy
• 23:24
  question mark in this could maybe it just been a bit better if they sort of
• 23:28
  cut those characters out well I read an interview cuz I was like what the [ __ ]
• 23:32
  was with slipnot cuz he he just shows up and he's he's you know it's like he's
• 23:37
  part of the team but then he he spoilers he just dies straight away because I had
• 23:40
  to show that the little bombs in the neck were legit right cuz they've got
• 23:43
  all got these because it was like Fortress That ' 80s movie with
• 23:46
  Christopher Lambert exactly they' got these explosive devices think about that
• 23:49
  I want to watch that again great you should it's a good movie two endings and
• 23:52
  don't watch Suicide Squad we ending yeah we probably talked about that before
• 23:56
  there's two endings to Fortress and I remembered the ending where they get
• 23:59
  outside and they fight the truck and then I was telling someone about how
• 24:02
  good the ending was talking to someone about it and they were like what are you
• 24:05
  talking about the movie just ends when they leave yeah that happened the same
• 24:08
  thing happened to me with the Army of Darkness oh yeah there's two endings to
• 24:12
  that as well yeah where one where he drinks too much of the stuff and ends up
• 24:16
  in the future yeah that was the version I saw and I was telling somebody about
• 24:19
  that and they're like no he fights a dead in esart but uh yeah and then and I read an
• 24:25
  interview with sorry back to Suicide Squad slpm Mar
• 24:29
  um I read an interview that said they uh the film was too long so they just
• 24:34
  decided to cut out lit Knot's backstory since he dies anyway right I'm like
• 24:39
  that's a [ __ ] well that's a terrible way to handle it yeah I mean I get it
• 24:44
  like Jos Weeden would have done that do you know what I mean given this whole
• 24:47
  guy whole backstory and everything and then killed him in the first scene like
• 24:50
  yeah but he said that could be done well he said he didn't want to he didn't want
• 24:53
  to do a fake out like that right like so they just they just reshot a scene where
• 24:58
  he show goes up late and then and then he dies like 5 minutes later what the
• 25:02
  [ __ ] that's so weird what a dog's breakfast this movie is know do you know
• 25:07
  what I liked the second half a lot more uh once it was kind of like a linear
• 25:12
  story that I could follow and it wasn't like yeah except that I didn't like it
• 25:15
  because by that point three things number one the bad guys are just a
• 25:20
  faceless Army literally yeah that was and that and that's just infuriating
• 25:25
  okay let's not care about anybody yeah they just bodies to to Gun Down second
• 25:30
  now I must have missed something but I didn't realize they were going to rescue
• 25:34
  that woman I thought that place and then suddenly yeah well as a fake out that
• 25:40
  was that was not a reveal or a twist for me it was just me thinking I'd missed
• 25:44
  something yeah right no it just didn't make sense and number three if you've
• 25:49
  got secrets that your team shouldn't know about and that might completely
• 25:54
  alter their uh dedication to Mission you've just sent them on don't put them
• 26:00
  in a folder marked top secret and put it in the boot of the car they're driving
• 26:03
  in in fact if if you'd written good chess moves on it he would have even
• 26:08
  opened it right but because it said top secret on it he's like what's this oh
• 26:13
  yeah that's right also why not tell them anyway yeah who cares yeah like like oh
• 26:20
  it's it's ter like because they obviously spoilers again the bad guy in
• 26:24
  this ends up being enchantress uh and she's building a giant machine that will
• 26:28
  wipe out Humanity but they don't tell stand in front of a giant machine while
• 26:31
  she's doing a weird little dance yeah yeah uh but they don't tell them that
• 26:35
  they tell them that it's terrorists and then but like they're not they're not
• 26:39
  idiots like there's a the build it looks like the building from Ghostbusters
• 26:42
  there's a big cloud around it [ __ ] lightning shooting out of it they're
• 26:45
  like oh terrorist yeah look sounds sounds legit like oh yeah weird
• 26:49
  creatures that are made of like clay that uh there's just hundreds of them
• 26:54
  that used to be humans yeah yeah ter my favorite part though was when they're
• 26:58
  standing with Joel kinman at that very moment where they find out the truth
• 27:02
  they say [ __ ] you and they all go into a bar right yeah and they talk and they
• 27:06
  start throwing around their kind of Back stories and the reasons why they're
• 27:11
  doing what they're doing and then about half an hour later Joel kinman walks
• 27:13
  into the bar and it's like have you been standing outside this whole time no that
• 27:17
  was my favorite scene just decided to come in yeah yeah it was the first time
• 27:22
  in a movie where where any of them had any depth yeah and then they ruined it I
• 27:27
  mean it picked up again at and then the [ __ ] Boomerang man
• 27:30
  storms out and he says you know I've just smashed this if anyone doesn't want
• 27:33
  to help me don't and he was like fine I won't he leaves and then he's just in
• 27:37
  the next scene I know he turns up but that cuz that was a good gag like cuz
• 27:43
  he's been saying the whole time I'm [ __ ] out of here as soon as we get
• 27:45
  these bombs disabled and he keeps saying that and then they're like kind of
• 27:48
  banning together the guy smashes the thing and he's like he legs it like that
• 27:52
  was funny yeah he stayed gone usess anyway exactly yeah but then they've
• 27:57
  obviously fil the first lot of film where he's there anyway yeah for the
• 28:02
  rest of it yeah he had he like served no purpose for the rest of the film except
• 28:06
  he threw that Boomerang with the camera on it which was [ __ ]
• 28:10
  stupid he throws a boomerang so with a camera on it so they can see what's
• 28:14
  going on inside and then he's like controlling it with his phone that was
• 28:19
  was stupid God forgotten about that I really liked uh I liked enchantress like
• 28:26
  as a you know like her dark form and I really like the first scene
• 28:30
  where she trans you know she changes into enchantress the way they did you
• 28:33
  know her hand comes from underneath and then that was turns over that was very
• 28:38
  that's the thing Matt there was so much about this movie to like it was just all
• 28:42
  out of out of order and done badly yeah that's exactly I think there's maybe a
• 28:48
  version of it exists that I would like but it's not this one yeah I didn't hate
• 28:53
  it sorry Luke we've talked about a movie you haven't seen for like 30 minutes now
• 28:57
  so no I'm fine I think You' pretty much convinced me it's not the movie for me
• 29:02
  no definitely wait I mean maybe watch it later what but what's the next DC movie
• 29:09
  coming out uh Wonder Woman I think Wonder Woman yeah I think it's Wonder
• 29:12
  Woman I hope it's Wonder Woman and then appar I this this made me laugh too
• 29:15
  there was a headline I was reading a Suicide Squad article and uh the
• 29:19
  headline and I forget which website this was on um but there was a headline next
• 29:23
  to it in the sidebar that said um director denies claims Wonder Woman is also a
• 29:30
  mess like [ __ ] hell I'd hate to be that guy oh no Jesus yeah no this movie
• 29:36
  was weird when the woman's next next year yeah and I don't they've got
• 29:41
  to should they stop and start again well that's people are saying that I don't
• 29:47
  know the other thing that annoys me about this is that uh people are being
• 29:52
  so [ __ ] weird about all of this like with the sewing Rotten
• 29:56
  Tomatoes because the critics don't like the filmm did you see that
• 30:02
  y ridiculous um there are uh movements like fan movements to rate the film 10
• 30:08
  stars on everywhere before it even comes out to encourage people to go see it
• 30:12
  like what is wrong with you just just that's the thing this movie it's still
• 30:17
  making money no not not anymore it's not it it was for a week and then it uh it
• 30:22
  dropped like 79% or something like that cuz the hype worked for the first week
• 30:28
  same with Batman vers Superman yeah they're not getting people to go back
• 30:31
  and see it again no no because God no cuz people are saying oh now that was a
• 30:37
  bit [ __ ] look they might sell some Halloween costumes to girls who want to
• 30:42
  dress up like Harley Quinn that have never heard of him before Hot Topic has
• 30:46
  a lot of uh lot of Suicide Squad stuff because it's we have Hot Topic here
• 30:50
  obviously well I'm not surprised because this was basically Hot Topic the movie
• 30:54
  yeah gen generally speaking I shop there uh but I'm not going to be buying any of
• 30:57
  the Suicide Squad merch uh they've got like the Joker's purple jacket like
• 31:02
  trench coat which I saw that in the shop and I was like that's cool oh it's
• 31:06
  Suicide Squad merch no I'm not interested Dew I'm probably pronouncing
• 31:10
  that wrong they're uh accusing the director of stealing their style which I
• 31:15
  think is funny oh do you really want to be claiming that of a movie that did
• 31:19
  this well oh yeah but I know but I mean I can see like uh the Joker in
• 31:24
  particular his his style is very reminiscent of you know of ninja sure
• 31:30
  but I won't say that ninja is all too original you know what
• 31:36
  I mean his look is fairly derivative he just might not well that's what it
• 31:40
  that's what their style is I guess they just take [ __ ] from everywhere and I
• 31:44
  mean I did read one review that said that the Joker in this is like Marilyn
• 31:48
  Manson from the Tainted Love music video where he's kind of like yeah gangster
• 31:52
  goth yeah yeah I agree with his his grill teeth what do you call that yeah
• 31:58
  grill grill I think yeah yeah well look another movie that's losing money hand
• 32:03
  over fist uh as pretty much everyone predicted is the Ghostbusters remake oh
• 32:09
  man the film no one wanted to see and
• 32:12
  told them and they didn't care um even
• 32:17
  even at even if they kind of pull in
• 32:21
  the the very optimistic estimate of the prediction for the rest of its
• 32:25
  theatrical run it's still set to lose about $70 million oh my God so when it
• 32:31
  first came out in the first week they're going look well we'll be making a sequel
• 32:35
  and now I they ain't think they're going to stop talking about
• 32:39
  sequel so I mean I think it could have been good I haven't seen it yet have you
• 32:44
  guys seen it I'm not going to see it I got no interest in seeing it it's if it
• 32:49
  was the movie that I was hoping for I would go see like if it was Ghostbusters
• 32:54
  3 if it was a continue on not a reboot SL remake whatever it is the thing is a
• 32:59
  lot of people a lot of like uh I guess critics they're not critics cuz they're
• 33:03
  just people on YouTube or the internet uh well I mean they are critics uh
• 33:07
  people who whose opinions I generally you know respect and agree with have
• 33:12
  said that they they had fun in it like they enjoyed it like it wasn't the best
• 33:16
  film ever but it was was not as bad as they thought and it was pretty fun I
• 33:20
  kind of want to watch it but also I'm like could be less interested yeah I
• 33:24
  mean and not cuz only the [ __ ] reasons the internet came up for I any
• 33:29
  looks stupid and I don't want to watch it and don't care about any of that
• 33:32
  stuff like yeah it just doesn't look like I would I would like to see Ghostbusters
• 33:39
  3 well like a continuing on from Ghostbusters 2 you won't they could have
• 33:44
  had the same cast in there look I've said this before I wish they hadn't made
• 33:48
  Ghostbusters 2 until now yeah I think Ghostbusters 2 as a script would have
• 33:52
  worked a lot better if it was 30 years on yeah totally yeah and it's too late
• 33:56
  now cuz they go they got burned on that cuz it was not very good yeah that's
• 34:00
  right oh did you just admit Ghostbusters 2 was not very
• 34:03
  good oh adult me knows that it's not but
• 34:08
  uh as a kid it was it was great even as a kid I was like this is not
• 34:14
  right come on they fight in the Statue of Liberty yeah well they they know did
• 34:19
  they fight in it they just kind of ride it which doesn't make a whole lot of
• 34:21
  sense like you know what I haven't seen it in a long time I can't remember why
• 34:25
  they had to do that why did they have to ride the Statue of Liberty they they
• 34:28
  ride the Statue of Liberty to get to a building and then smash the building
• 34:32
  open so they can get in or something I think I don't it's been a very long time
• 34:36
  yeah that sounds right that sounds familiar blocked it out just blocked it all
• 34:40
  out did you guys see the new rogue one trailer no not interested yes I did of
• 34:47
  course I [ __ ] did oh man I woke up it had been up for
• 34:51
  4 hours and it had 6 million views and then it had 6 million and
• 34:55
  one man this trailer is is oh my God
• 34:59
  [ __ ] they they know how to get me this has got some stuff been burned
• 35:05
  before I know we've been burned before because we all thought the trailer to
• 35:09
  The Phantom Menace looked good but I'll go as far as
• 35:13
  saying this can't suck oh man because
• 35:17
  this trailer is excellent there's so many things in it just every every like
• 35:23
  cut from like you know scene to scene in the trailer I was like oh oh oh
• 35:28
  oh yeah and then at the end well trailer spoilers when she's walking out on that
• 35:33
  Gantry and the [ __ ] TIE fighter comes up and I'm like what is this I've got
• 35:37
  I've got to see this I've got to see this Death Star blocks out the sun yeah
• 35:43
  [ __ ] firing Bazookas at 880s my God
• 35:47
  looks so good cannot wait that [ __ ]
• 35:51
  robot he looks cool yeah he does so I
• 35:55
  mean it could still be [ __ ] but uh no no I I can't see it being as good as
• 36:00
  episode seven really but we'll see I I got to say I mean looking at this it
• 36:06
  looks like it could be better for me cuz it's about some different stuff no no
• 36:10
  I'm not saying it's going to be bad I just I think episode 7 was a great movie
• 36:14
  and I just think I don't think Rogue Bon's going to replace that true but I I
• 36:17
  think episode seven as we all know played it very very safe yeah and I
• 36:22
  don't know that this one's going to and it it also it's it's got I mean I know
• 36:28
  it's stuff that we've seen before but it's like stuff that I like and there
• 36:33
  it's more of that kind of thing I know that like some people criticize the
• 36:36
  force awakens for being too similar and I mean visually this is very similar to
• 36:42
  a New Hope and an Empire but I don't know that I like that fine by me yeah
• 36:48
  yeah not long the wa what December it comes out yeah to long too long indeed
• 36:53
  oh Darth Vader's in it obviously we knew that but then he in the trailer at the
• 36:58
  end his little head is it Hayden Christensen in Darth Vader suit no it's
• 37:02
  not why he's probably looking for work yeah be the right age now y I think to
• 37:06
  bite the bullet and um actually just get James L Jones to wear the suit oh my
• 37:11
  goodness that would be very funny they could just digitally fix that later yeah
• 37:15
  that' be great just quickly uh we've been we've been doing listener questions
• 37:21
  on the show of late uh Luke can you give us that
• 37:25
  jingle it's the qu I I can't remember time did did you make a jingle for me
• 37:30
  question time you made you the jingle live um you just going to sing I have to
• 37:34
  sing it every week everyone else should make one for I have to see all
• 37:41
  right God how it go question time question time question time question time sending
• 37:48
  you questions for Question Time perfect good all right so this question was sent
• 37:53
  in by listener Craig and it's specifically hi Craig specifically for
• 37:57
  Dan um oh okay he uh he asked if you were if he recalled correctly somebody
• 38:04
  was in Singapore and that's you MH somebody that's somebody's me yeah
• 38:08
  that's somebody's Dan uh is there a Hidden Gem in Singapore uh he's headed
• 38:14
  there with his wife in October for the very first time and is there a Hidden
• 38:17
  Gem you would recommend he they uh they make an effort to to see in Singapore
• 38:22
  and uh if if they find you do they get a real life achievement and we've said
• 38:28
  before that that is a competition if you can find yeah that stands AB you win
• 38:32
  something um so so that stands but yeah is there something he should do in
• 38:36
  Singapore that he might not otherwise know about all right well I mean it's
• 38:40
  it's it's tough to suggest a Hidden Gem to someone when I know literally nothing
• 38:44
  about them or what they like right well they they listen to the show presumably
• 38:48
  they like us for some reason say that again they listen to this show so
• 38:52
  presumably they like us for some so with with only that in mind I'm going to give
• 38:56
  you a hidden food gem a hidden drinks Gem and a hidden Hidden Gem wow and then
• 39:02
  I'm going to give you a clue to finding me while you're here o right yeah okay
• 39:08
  so the hidden food gem there's a couple of pretty cool places to eat here right
• 39:13
  um if you're into kind of comic books Etc which we are right there's an
• 39:19
  officially licensed DC Comics Cafe quite good but that's not my recommendation
• 39:24
  the hidden food gem is the hungry Heroes Cafe unlicensed which basically means
• 39:31
  any hero from any type of comic book all smooshed together in a pretty cool place
• 39:36
  to go and have food cool hungry Heroes all right hidden drinks gem not so nerdy
• 39:43
  well nerdy in a different way maybe it's a bar called the library which is a
• 39:47
  Speak Easy Speak Easy's very popular here in Singapore at the moment hidden
• 39:51
  bars right you need a password to get in and you have to go to their website
• 39:55
  Facebook and figure it out every day what the password is that's awesome okay
• 40:00
  we didn't have that the and it's hidden behind a bookcase and they will not let you in
• 40:06
  without it that's awesome in fact unless you tell them the password they will not
• 40:11
  even admit they have a secret Speak Easy hidden behind the bookcase
• 40:15
  wow I need to try that now would you recommend someone to try say Singapore
• 40:20
  Sling or something what uh I would say Singapore slings are absolutely
• 40:25
  disgusting unless you like fake ch cherry flavored drinks uh I do not I
• 40:30
  don't think just have a gin and tonic while you're here oh you got Luke then Luke's on
• 40:35
  board yeah yep yeah sling uh but if you want if you
• 40:40
  want a Hidden Gem that's actually hidden that you've got to actually go and find
• 40:44
  uh I like kind of urban exploring and uh and off in the jungle there's a uh a
• 40:50
  building called istana woodnook which is an abandoned Sultan's Palace oh if you
• 40:56
  follow me on Instagram you've probably seen pictures of me there I have that's
• 41:00
  my hidden hidden gem for you I didn't know that's where you were but I have
• 41:02
  seen photos yeah yeah yeah and my clue if you want to find me although you
• 41:09
  might uh you might miss this if you coming in in uh October but on the 10th
• 41:14

• 41:41
  you're interested check that out had a good day it was fun great how does it
• 41:45
  compar to other comiccons uh well I mean it's similar obviously to to something
• 41:50
  like Supernova because it's very comic based there's not a lot of film stuff uh
• 41:53
  at this point so yeah very similar to to Supernova say but with more artists and
• 41:58
  actually more I mean I know that they make an effort to get people out there
• 42:01
  but there were so many people at this that I was like oh that that person's
• 42:05
  here oh wow so uh like William Shatner appearing there we didn't see him on
• 42:10
  Friday he wasn't there on Friday but um Karen Gillan from Dr Who was there on
• 42:14

• 43:11
  oh hello and we had a chat for a bit he was very friendly uh I told him we just
• 43:14
  move from Australia and stuff he's really friendly that and I said oh how
• 43:16
  much is one of these prints five bucks for for a poster of that so you so
• 43:22
  you now own that oh yeah yeah it's right here it's in front of me on the desk
• 43:25
  actually nice but yeah so it was good it was good good it was nice and yeah a lot
• 43:28
  of um I I I read Comics but I'm not familiar with who makes them like the
• 43:33
  artists and stuff I'm just I just kind of read them so uh there were a lot of
• 43:37
  people there there was a guy who's worked on stuff like spidergwen and uh
• 43:41
  some other stuff that I like but I don't know who they are so I feel bad like I
• 43:45
  don't want to go up to somebody and say hi sorry what do you do so I feel like
• 43:49
  for next time I need to do some more research you don't owe them a thing
• 43:53
  Matthew was fun day Dave would have [ __ ] hated it yeah it was uh it was a
• 43:58
  lot more packed and a lot less uh
• 44:02
  socially capable than
• 44:06
  PS let's put it that way well he hated packs too as far as I can remember well
• 44:12
  exactly that's my point winged all day at Supernova of course of course we saw
• 44:17
  Carrie Fisher and she was aw good yeah she was amazing that's why I really
• 44:21
  wanted to see William Shatner again because that was it's one of my favorite
• 44:25
  panels I've ever seen was William Shatner [ __ ] but I don't know if I
• 44:29
  necessarily want to sit through him again just talking about whatever the [ __ ] he felt
• 44:35
  like that I'm very happy I saw but yeah doesn't matter what you asked him he was
• 44:40
  going to talk about whatever he felt like riding horses and I've got a son
• 44:45
  I've got back pain Bulgarian
• 44:49
  acrobats amazing oh uh have we got some news to round out this this show sounds
• 44:56
  like you're trying to push us in a certain direction but I'm not sure which
• 45:00
  one you're talking about there something else you want to talk about we can talk
• 45:02
  about anything you want what do you want to talk about once again I feel like
• 45:04
  you're trying to yeah I feels tell us what you want to talk I I'm honestly I don't
• 45:11
  mind I don't know what's happening yeah all right look fine you're saying this
• 45:15
  like there's something that you want to talk about and somehow you're like
• 45:18
  trying to be diplomatic and be like no no no don't don't talk about what I want
• 45:21
  to talk about no I'm actually I'm I'm not not at all I'm just trying to you
• 45:25
  know I was just segueing into some news sure I mean we there's plenty of news
• 45:29
  did you see this thing about the Tesla car I wanted to talk about this actually
• 45:32
  because I I question the truth of of some of these articles yeah me too and I
• 45:38
  think they skipped over a lot of very important points in this article
• 45:42
  questions I would have asked as a journalist so the the the gist is a guy
• 45:47
  in a Tesla a Tesla is one of the electric cars I've seen them in Sydney
• 45:52
  my next car yeah I they're really cool there's a Tesla syy yeah they cost too
• 45:58
  much that's how much they cost yeah yeah it's like a 100 grandish right yeah yeah
• 46:04
  I think uh that was in Australia um so
• 46:09
  this guy he was driving his Tesla and he had a a heart attack and the article
• 46:15
  says uh the Tesla has well it has a thing called driver assist and the and
• 46:21
  the premise of the Articles generally that I saw was that he uh he was having
• 46:25
  a heart attack and so he asked the car to drive him to the hospital and it did
• 46:30
  mhm okay yeah yeah I mean the headline
• 46:34
  of this article is Tesla drives man to
• 46:37
  hospital yeah now I having been
• 46:42
  interested in these cars before before now I know that that's not how it works
• 46:46
  because there's actually a more a recent article as well where a guy was driving
• 46:53
  his car his Tesla uh assumed that driver assist would just take care of things
• 46:59
  yeah and he was watching Harry Potter instead of paying attention uh and
• 47:04
  because of the situation there was some glare uh and the car got confused and he
• 47:10
  plowed into a truck and was decapitated so uh y so it doesn't work like that
• 47:15
  it's not drive it's not self driving remember they came out and said that was
• 47:19
  sort of a freak occurrence sure but it's not supposed to just drive it's supposed
• 47:24
  to stop you from plowing into something if you're not paying attention like
• 47:27
  obviously this guy was abusing the new models are will drive
• 47:31
  you but you still have to they you still have to be aware of what's happening
• 47:37
  it's not uh now hold on you can't just be having a heart attack lying on the
• 47:41
  floor of the car and yell car drive me to the hospital and it does it doesn't
• 47:46
  work like that it doesn't uh it won't pull off like a highway it it doesn't it
• 47:51
  doesn't do that it'll it'll stop you from crashing into something it will
• 47:55
  apply the brakes if it sensors the there something around but it doesn't it's not
• 47:58
  a self-driving car unless it's some new model that I'm not aware about not aware
• 48:03
  of it doesn't work like that no I think they do now I don't think they you you
• 48:08
  can't drive a self-driving car around you're not allowed to do that yet cuz
• 48:12
  again they also talk about to do the Tesla driver in Florida was killed when
• 48:17
  his self-driving car crashed into a semi- truck they're not
• 48:20
  self-driving no and Google when they were developing their car you know were
• 48:25
  going on about how eventually once everyone has a self-driving car it'll be
• 48:31
  safer than the way that we have it now because human era is taken out of the
• 48:36
  equation and everything will just be running on like insane GPS but
• 48:42
  like it's not like some people are just sitting in the back seat and their car
• 48:46
  is driving them now no right no that seems legally you still have to have
• 48:51
  someone in the front seat I know but I'm saying it it it it's not self-driving
• 48:56
  you don't just tell it where to go and it goes there like it's not well at
• 49:00
  least that's not what it's intended for it's driver assist it's not self-driving
• 49:04
  and that's like these articles seem to be implying that this is like everybody
• 49:09
  you go by a Tesla you don't have to drive anymore the car will drive for you
• 49:13
  hold on buddy I'll get you there yeah that's not how this works as far as I'm
• 49:17
  aware he still had to drive the car like most of the time like the Google
• 49:22
  self-driving cars are still being tested like they're not you can't drive around
• 49:25
  in one of them so I I'm trying to read because I'm pretty sure they're probably they're
• 49:31
  more self-driving than I think you believe they are I but I'm just trying
• 49:35
  to find out I have I heard the same criticisms before this article came out
• 49:39
  because it was uh another podcast where one of the guys owns a Tesla and he was
• 49:45
  criticizing this guy who had the accident because he saying and and and
• 49:49
  also for the press for coming at it from this angle and and and saying this is a
• 49:54
  self-driving car and they're autop piloting Tech technology failed and this
• 49:58
  guy died like no that's not what it's for it's to stop you from swerving into
• 50:02
  another lane or crashing into something like it's not to drive you to I'm
• 50:08
  reading this right now the hands still have to be on the steering wheel and if
• 50:12
  you take them you can take them off for a moment but if you take them off the
• 50:14
  steering wheel for more than a couple of seconds you get a message saying to put
• 50:18
  your hands back on or it'll cut out mhm um it's more like cruise
• 50:24
  control it's like a it's like a really really good cruise control right now
• 50:29
  with with that Hands on the Wheel thing I think that's more s to the fact is you
• 50:33
  also you legally can't have a self-driving car I was about to say
• 50:36
  legally Tesla are not allowed to release a self-driving car yeah that's what I'm
• 50:41
  saying it does not it will not drive you to the hospital Google have not been
• 50:45
  allowed to release their self-driving car correct no they can test it in San Francisco now
• 50:51
  Tesla's basically it's just an update and a lot of their cars will become
• 50:56
  self-driving cars yeah no I'm sure they'd love to legally they can't be
• 50:59
  done look I don't think it's as self-driving self-driving but I think
• 51:03
  it's more than what you're thinking as well all right no that's fair look and
• 51:07
  listeners if you know more about this that's I'm sure the listeners know much
• 51:11
  more about it than we do a lot more cuz most of my my knowledge of it came from
• 51:15
  that previous article about the guy who had the car accident and then everyone
• 51:18
  was saying well he's an idiot that's where a lot of that came for me as well
• 51:21
  and I think I just read that differently to how you read it he was an idiot
• 51:25
  because what happened with with that one is a truck turned in front of him and
• 51:30
  the the camera cuz the sun was behind it the camera didn't pick up the truck
• 51:35
  turned if if the light if the sun wasn't there the car would have break and
• 51:39
  stopped itself yeah that's right because he was traveling in a straight line on a
• 51:43
  highway like it's it's not like it's not pulling you off the highway and then
• 51:47
  stopping at the lights and then driving you to the hospital like it's it's it's
• 51:51
  like cruise control that will also hit the brakes if it senses something in
• 51:55
  front of you like you know what I mean like it's not calculating a route and
• 52:00
  then just driving you to the hospital or or whatever like this guy who had the
• 52:04
  heart attack it's great and I'm sure that that was very helpful to have the car like you
• 52:10
  know not handling the speed and breaking for yeah but it didn't just he didn't
• 52:14
  just fall down the ground and like ah take me to the hospital and it did no
• 52:19
  but that seems to be what they're implying and it I don't know it just
• 52:21
  bugs me a bit because people are getting the wrong idea about oh I mean it's
• 52:25
  great publicy he definitely still would have been in the front seat he still
• 52:27
  would have he had to have his hands on the wheel he had to be like indicating
• 52:32
  and turning corners and doing things himself it doesn't do that and I mean
• 52:37
  Teslas are great I love Teslas it's a good publicity Forum so you know
• 52:41
  whatever it's just not entirely accurate I don't know unless I'm
• 52:46
  mistaken and listeners if you know better uh and you know we'll look more
• 52:50
  into it Luke feel free to correct me if uh if you find that I am wrong it's got
• 52:55
  to F you think there be something somewhere that says just stop Point
• 53:00
  Tesla tesla.com I'm going there there is I just literally read read out that all
• 53:04
  the reasons why Tesla's [ __ ] car is not a [Laughter]
• 53:11
  robot oh dear ordering a bottle less they're very
• 53:15
  nice you hear the asteroid asteroids did you guys hear the astronauts dying of
• 53:19
  space AIDS well I mean it's not surprising the [ __ ] they use protection
• 53:24
  when you [ __ ] space aliens yeah so I mean I'm I'm joking somewhat but it is a
• 53:30
  little like that uh space radiation uh seems to be causing
• 53:36
  astronauts Apollo Astronauts specifically to uh to have issues dying
• 53:42
  they're dying of heart disease at four to five times the rate of other people
• 53:46
  because they think that the uh the space radiation this is a theory obviously at
• 53:52
  this point uh has done something to
• 53:57
  their to their bodies I guess and they're they're having increased
• 54:02
  instances of heart disease okay so that's that's terrifying it would have
• 54:06
  to do something I know their eye their eyes aren't that good when they come
• 54:10
  back extended periods and space actually have effect on your eyes right they just
• 54:15
  get used to seeing things from very far away it's hard to readjust your
• 54:20
  focus you like keep looking at the ground like oh that Earth's a bit close
• 54:27
  oh hold on I got to step back if I want to look at this
• 54:31
  yeah that was the sound of the Rocket taking off um but this doesn't bode well
• 54:36
  for Mars Missions at this point because
• 54:41
  uh trips to the moon are significantly shorter than trips to Mars and and also
• 54:47
  if you're on Mars we don't really know uh how much of the radiation you're
• 54:51
  going to be getting there compared to here although I assume they're measuring
• 54:53
  all that stuff now with the the Rover if he's got the there only one way to find
• 54:57
  out that's to send you yep cuz I'll tell you what if you need somebody who is now
• 55:03
  immune to cancer you only get cancel once so Luke's Luke's will ready to go
• 55:08
  bring it on Space radiation or not so what you're saying is if you get AIDS
• 55:13
  from someone who's had cancer then you are immune to cancer sorry you're immune
• 55:18
  to what are you saying I think you're immune to both Jesus that's how that
• 55:24
  works Luke you need to get yourself to
• 55:28
  Africa you have a gift that only you can give oh man so they've done uh they've
• 55:34
  done some research on mice uh both you know like radiated and otherwise to to
• 55:40
  see what happens and simulated weightlessness to determine whether
• 55:43
  there's a difference between the mice who were weightless and radiated and the
• 55:48
  mice that were just weightless uh mhm and yes there was a difference so they
• 55:53
  they're kind of figuring it all out and uh hopefully they'll be able to come up
• 55:57
  with a way to prevent that from happening in the future so that we can
• 56:01
  actually explore space a bit further yeah that'll be nice yeah now with this
• 56:07
  astronauts like how long ago were were they in space like was it we talking the
• 56:12
  Apollo missions this has taken years to happen or like 40 years ago is yeah oh
• 56:18
  come on 40 years just send people they'll be fine well they won't Luke
• 56:22
  they won't maybe you need to send people that are a little older
• 56:26
  you know what I mean exactly you know it takes that long if it takes 40 years for
• 56:31
  you to get the heart disease just send people with less than a 40-year life
• 56:34
  expectancy yeah but the difference is it takes years to get to Mars and and
• 56:39
  that's constant exposure to it I see your point man whereas the the
• 56:45
  Apollo Astronauts said people with like 30 years left then you're volunteering Again
• 56:52
  Luke I mean 30 years you've you've you've always claimed you had had
• 56:56
  nowhere near that long left exactly I'm going to be lucky to hit 60 so Now's the
• 57:01
  Time to send me NASA let's get him up there it's like the reverse Martian send
• 57:07
  him to Mars this might be the last chance you
• 57:12
  have I guess we I'm gonna make a poster for uh for next week it's reverse
• 57:16
  Martian you the Martian poster was Matt Damon's face with bring him home M I'm
• 57:21
  going to make a poster there says send him away
• 57:27
  it shouldn't be too hard to get you sent away I mean okay yeah all right so
• 57:32
  Olympics oh yeah they're on oh yeah I guess we're forgetting that this is uh
• 57:37
  this is our official Olympics episode isn't it great cover so far yeah I have
• 57:43
  a serious question about the Olympics go on I won't be able to answer it how long
• 57:47
  do you think everyone stops giving a [ __ ] about it and it goes away I don't
• 57:51
  know man people take it pretty serious getting that far I'm going I'm going
• 57:54
  probably another Olympics well I I'll be honest I didn't know this was on since
• 58:00
  we don't watch free toar television anymore I knew because I've seen some of
• 58:04
  the some of the hassles they've had I know that the uh they had problems with
• 58:08
  Olympic Village when they got there because the apartments weren't finished
• 58:12
  they've got problems right now cuz apparently the diving pool has turned
• 58:15
  green and uh is burning the eyes of people in it and uh and they don't know
• 58:21
  why and now it's spread to the uh some of the other pools apparently so right
• 58:27
  Sans don't give a [ __ ] about the olymics and no one has started to watching it
• 58:30
  except that earlier in the week we won our first ever gold medal so now people
• 58:35
  are paying attention oh what for what in swimming nice yeah and we are an island
• 58:40
  and now that swimmer is blind from uh from whatever algae is in there gross
• 58:46
  but yeah apparently the opening ceremony was uh was a bit strange in that it was
• 58:50
  a giant vagina yeah I'm looking at this photo now that does look like a giant
• 58:53
  vagina so good job Rio I think know clitteris goes well I can I think I can see it
• 59:00
  there at the top I mean basically it's this folds of pink opening up from the
• 59:05
  center mhm and uh of course the internet
• 59:09
  just went crazy immediately starting asking why is this a big
• 59:15
  vagina I mean no one seemed to mind they just didn't really get it um also
• 59:21
  apparently this is just something interesting that I learned uh when they
• 59:25
  bring the different countries you know each of the countries come out at the
• 59:29
  start at the start at some point I've never seen one at the start though I
• 59:33
  would say Ral the countries later on and
• 59:37
  who knew Germany was here well apparently they come out in alphabetical
• 59:43
  order but it's alphabetically based on
• 59:47
  the alphabet of the country hosting and
• 59:51
  so it's not you know it's not our alphabet and so it can be a bit
• 59:57
  confusing for people sometimes but this is in Rio right this in Brazil yeah
• 1:00:01
  that's right and apparently they all came out they use our alphabet here no
• 1:00:05
  well either that or there's something else going on but somebody told me that
• 1:00:08
  they were coming out in an unus like in not you know non- English alphabetical
• 1:00:12
  order it's not English it's the Roman alphabet all right F but that's what I'm
• 1:00:17
  saying it's like the they're it's a different ordering to to to English
• 1:00:22
  apparently and so when they came out they were coming out in a different
• 1:00:25
  order and someone was like what's going on oh it's because the letters are in a
• 1:00:29
  different order they do it based on the country you know someone was actually
• 1:00:32
  watching it yeah I know I've bumped into a few people here yeah I I don't know
• 1:00:36
  anyone in Australia who's watching it okay so I'm looking at the Portuguese
• 1:00:41
  alphabet right now and I call [ __ ] sorry really all right yeah maybe they
• 1:00:46
  come what do they come out in then pretty much all Latin other countries
• 1:00:49
  entered in the alphabetical order in the language of the host country Brazilian
• 1:00:54
  Portuguese yeah so maybe if the China Olympics I'm assuming everyone would
• 1:00:58
  have been really confused because they don't even have an alphabet well okay if
• 1:01:02
  you look at uh on Wikipedia it's got a list of 2016 Summer Olympics Parade of
• 1:01:08
  Nations during the parade of Nations athletes blah blah blah blah blah it's
• 1:01:11
  got a list of the mall United States broadcaster NBC reportedly made a
• 1:01:14
  request for the Parade of Nations to be conducted in English alphabetical order
• 1:01:18
  rather than Portuguese stating that American TV viewership would be affected
• 1:01:22
  if the US team entered in the middle of the parade as EST
• 1:01:26
  unidos in Portuguese instead of near the end of the parade as United States in
• 1:01:30
  English oh okay that doesn't mean that their alphabet is different that just
• 1:01:33
  means that the name of the country is different instead of being United States
• 1:01:36
  of America IE starts with a u it's America United starts with an A well now
• 1:01:42
  now I know now I know that as well of a way I've been I was misinformed until I
• 1:01:48
  read that paragraph myself yeah look reading the whole article is not what
• 1:01:52
  we're about here it's our thing this wasn't even an article this is just is
• 1:01:56
  an anecdote that's gone horribly wrong for me so I apologize the anecdote why was Greece
• 1:02:02
  first uh like hold on
• 1:02:08
  Portuguese word for Greece well it's got
• 1:02:11
  it here it says greo it's still a g so
• 1:02:15
  yeah maybe it's Athens ah yeah okay could be but anyway somebody told me
• 1:02:21
  that they were in a different order because of that and apparently they were
• 1:02:24
  wrong as well so that's that's fine though they were in a different order than what
• 1:02:28
  they were but not for not for the reason the person told me no there you go they
• 1:02:33
  just displaying my ignorance of who language what country is this
• 1:02:37
  independent Olympic athletes you know what this goes to show this goes to show
• 1:02:42
  that people that watch sports aren't very smart I mean we knew that already yeah
• 1:02:49
  but now it's been proved absolutely I watch sports I think the independent
• 1:02:53
  athletes are the ones where it's it's like there's a country that some cuz
• 1:02:58
  some people kickstarted to get in the Olympics didn't they there was a country
• 1:03:01
  that there was just one yeah there was one athlete that crowds crowdfunded to
• 1:03:05
  to be and the country wouldn't the country would like if you want to go
• 1:03:08
  raise the money yourself yeah basically yeah there's this I think there's a
• 1:03:12
  swimmer who uh who raised the money to to go it's probably the Singapore
• 1:03:15
  swimmer could be uh maybe actually check that oh yeah because there's countries
• 1:03:22
  where if you don't have enough ath enough athletes there's no way you're
• 1:03:25
  going to win the Olympics right if you got one athlete like that athlete could
• 1:03:29
  probably do well at something but you're not going to win so maybe they just
• 1:03:32
  combine do well in a lot of things they're like look is there a winner of
• 1:03:35
  the Olympics yeah you get the most gold medals right isn't that the country that
• 1:03:39
  that wins overall right but if you've got one athlete from your country so if
• 1:03:43
  the country gets the most gold medals do they get like a big gold
• 1:03:46
  medal presumably yeah well look imagine it was you Luke and you were a country
• 1:03:52
  yep imagine you're a country right and you you win something right are you
• 1:03:57
  going to be satisfied without a prize no
• 1:04:02
  no I'm making everyone who competed for me to come and give me their gold medals
• 1:04:07
