Running Up That Flat Earth: Stranger Things & Kate Bush Revival · Multiple Nerdgasm

0:00
I a little late this morning but it's not my fault as
0:03
always is it the flat Earth's fault kind of was a flat Earth's fault go on I woke
0:09
up and there's a live debate happening right now and I sort of started watching that
0:15
and yeah it's God it's it's this film was fun it's is the debates between flat
0:20
earthers and non-f flat earthers just the non-f flat earthers going prove it
0:23
and the Flat Earth is not being able to prove it cuz that's what I imagine the
0:27
debate would be yeah it's pretty much the flat earther rebuttal to any
0:32
argument or point is nah welcome to multiple
0:37
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
0:42
Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
0:47
Things nerdy look I think it's time that you
0:53
just become smug in the fact that you are correct and they are incorrect and
0:57
then just move on just move on from this it's fun watching these
1:01
debates is it and and and this one they like this one was very rare they agreed
1:06
to an actual format so like this is going to be round three we're going to
1:10
talk about um the the the the subject was meant to be he was going to disprove space
1:17
exploration okay and his EV evidence straight away was this is why I'm
1:22
skeptical about space exploration it's sort of like they're going straight away
1:25
moderator no that's not what we agreed to and everyone's going yeah no you
1:29
agreed to you got to proove it yeah not show why you're skeptical mhm right and
1:36
yeah just turn yeah F right so Luke you famously don't like awkward situations
1:43
you know like you don't watch Jackass you don't like oh yeah like Impractical
1:48
Jokers that that show just gives me so much anxiety surely surely watching a
1:53
flat earther flounder up on stage like a
1:56
fish on a deck is the same kind of vibe
2:01
as you know one of borat's victims just sitting there not knowing what to say
2:05
well no they're doing that to themselves it's the reason I don't like
2:11
the bull rat and stuff like that is they're doing it to as you just said
2:15
victims Vic and that's what I don't like they're creating
2:20
this awkward situation just for the
2:25
ls yeah and then the problem is you then get the YouTube other YouTube channels
2:30
that try and copy it that go too far mhm well not even too far some of them are
2:36
just not funny there was one that I stumbled across cuz I I don't mind a bit
2:40
of that kind of humor if it's done really well but uh some of them you're
2:44
just watching like you just you're just embarrassing yourself man
2:49
mhm well you just you're just damaging other people's property that's not
2:54
funny yes he just wrecked stuff yeah yeah and so that I don't like that mhm
3:01
that's fair I'm with you on that so who won the debate well it's
3:07
ongoing at the moment but as always ongoing they at the end they're like well agree to
3:12
disagree well no the the flat earther will try that
3:17
every now and again but the people going go well no cuz then we would both be
3:21
wrong right are you are you familiar with that theory of the round earth that
3:26
that if you walk towards the edge the incline becomes St so steep that gravity
3:31
changes and you can never quite get to the end as well I I I did watch One Flat
3:35
Earth theory that tried to use mathematics to prove why you wouldn't
3:39
just fall off the edge that must be very very old cuz none of them really believe
3:43
in an edge anymore I'm sure fine hang on infinite or a big wall um it's either
3:50
big wall or infinite how does it it's one of those mean it doesn't have an
3:54
edge if it has a wall there well well they don't know house goes on forever
4:00
because you got I mean there's a wall here so that goes
4:02
on who knows what's on the other side of that Wallside there's a wall no
4:08
outside yeah no cuz Mark Z danieli wrote a great book about that called the house
4:13
of leaves about a guy who buys a house with no internal
4:17
boundaries check it out it's about Kevin spacy it's a SLO but it's worth it I'm
4:21
not reading a book No Boundaries I was in the chip aisle of
4:28
the supermarket the other day and I realized that cc's are still using their
4:32
slogan you can't say no and I feel it's out of
4:36
date they're using Franklin jelous [Laughter]
4:42
slogan I'm a big man try and pull me off I'm a big chip try not to eat
4:49
me you don't eat me I'm going to eat you your choice apart from Flat
4:56
Earth videos which you know I how much I love I've been watching um the new Star
5:00
Trek strange new worlds oh okay I'm ke to hear because this seems like it was
5:05
made specifically for you it is great it
5:10
is gone back so it's even though it's a spin-off from Discovery it doesn't have
5:14
that Discovery feel I don't think and it has very much gone back to here's an
5:20
episode here's something that happens and here's how we resolve it in that
5:23
episode so they've kept the the best bits from Discovery I.E the cast the
5:28
cast yeah and yeah no I'm I'm enjoying I'm liking back like you do have that
5:33
story that's sort of overarching which is there but it's not uh it's not the
5:37
primary focus of the show so it's very much a he's something that happens and
5:42
he's just resolving it I'm glad to hear that it's great again is it like
5:45
Mandalorian in that sense where there is an overarching storyline but each
5:49
episode is clearly one Adventure or is it even more like the old 60s show it's
5:55
even it's even more like the old great I mean I'll check it out at one point so I
5:59
should so I might like it is what you're saying did you watch season two of
6:02
Picard yet I've not watched it and no I didn't watch it I did I enjoyed it yeah
6:09
okay I but I also like very much like Alison Pill so okay you watch you watch
6:15
dear Wendy yet you watch dear Wendy no okay early film with her in it
6:19
very worth watching especially if you like Allison pill especially if you like her
6:25
breasts well she already tweeted them to the world so it's fine did she
6:30
yeah she was me to tweet her boyfriend and accidentally tweeted the picture to
6:36
Twitter but I mean that's usually where tweets go is it so it doesn't matter who
6:41
you tweet them at everyone can see well she she she'll to do a DM oh but then
6:48
accidentally well she doesn't have a boyfriend's phone number like yeah oh
6:53
it's not secure SMS isn't secure you want what you want to do is put them on
6:57
Twitter just Twitter it's always Twitter
7:01
yeah um we should watch shows second Seasons if we like them because if we
7:07
don't watch them straight away they'll get cancelled case in point rais by
7:11
Wolves I I noticed I tried to watch Race by wolv season 2 a few times and I just
7:16
wasn't in the mood for it I haven't been in the mood for it which is why I
7:20
haven't started because I know I'm going to have to really
7:24
invest and I I I can sort of understand why like if you have to really force
7:29
yourself to be the mood to sit down and watch a show but I know it's going to be
7:33
good and I want to watch it I just didn't want to have to watch it straight
7:35
away because I've got 10 seasons of the xfiles to get through you know what I mean
7:41
like yeah but they're not going to make any more seasons of that yeah it's like
7:46
they want everybody to binge everything immediately yeah but that's the thing
7:51
like they don't know what I'm up to currently like well they do they know
7:56
that you're not I'm not they know what I'm not doing yeah but I'll get to it
8:00
they called rley SC and they said they said rley Dan's not watched it yet I've
8:04
made thousands of shows for Dan and he's watched them all so I don't know if he
8:07
he mustn't like this but have you has he died perhaps he's
8:12
died that's the only explanation I can think of but I feel bad now because you
8:16
do have to you do have to vote with your wallet now that that's the only currency
8:21
we have for having things I mean it's the same as you know like I crapped on
8:25
and on about the Amiga 500 mini a few weeks ago but before it came out about
8:29
how badly I wanted it I still haven't bought it and it's going to go away and
8:33
no other Amiga stuff will come out because even die hard fans like me
8:35
didn't buy it you know you've you've got to make a statement yeah no look I agree
8:40
with you but this is a HBO show right so where were you going to watch this um we
8:44
have on Ben Ben yeah we can watch this legally we don't have to go to whatever
8:48
country we're substituting now okay that's going to say cuz cuz
8:53
even if you yeah you just obtain it may not even I don't know if HBO tallies up
8:58
the numbers from their satellite channels in other markets either so it
9:01
might not have made a difference but look I'm going to go in you never know
9:06
what side of an argu and lose going to come down on I know if you couldn't be
9:12
bothered to sit down and watch it within 4 months has it been four months has it
9:16
okay all right fair enough that is quite a long time I I suppose if nobody
9:21
watched it for four months they'd be sitting around going I don't think
9:23
anyone's going to watch this guys Netflix will do it after like 2 weeks
9:27
yeah yeah like they're very quick of no this isn't getting Trac we want they did
9:31
wait like this first episode came out third of third of February they canel
9:36
beginning of June that's 4 months that's they waited quarter of a year and got
9:42
numbers and this time they're probably looking at it going cuz there was a big
9:47
gap between season 1 and two and that probably was because of the spicy cough
9:52
they probably would have been looking to film season 3 a lot faster and they can
9:55
get the data a lot quicker and if the data's not there if
9:58
no one's watching well these are not cheap episodes to make I do like though
10:03
that now you don't just have to wait one year and get another season sometimes
10:07
you have to wait several years you know it's like Westworld there'll be more
10:12
when no one knows yeah when we're ready
10:16
yeah well speaking of getting more I learned apparently this is not the last
10:22
season of stranger things which I thought it was yeah well even including
10:26
the movies that's still to come that five coming in there a season five
10:31
coming potentially in a few years because now at this point it's quite
10:36
difficult to get everybody involved together as you know they've got to wait
10:40
until 11's hair grows back yet again yeah no it's a wig the short hairs a wig
10:46
is it the short hair is a wig and Finn wolfart is not in every movie with a
10:51
person his age in it which he rapidly outgrowing that I think he certainly is
10:56
which I'm glad to because I like him but he's he's the least like out of those
11:02
kids so yes yeah I got a shock when I saw that cuz I I really thought this was
11:08
the final one hold on are you giving me spoilers here do you you guys know this
11:11
from the show or you know this from from media my understanding was right so so I
11:16
know so to be clear Dan you've seen half of episode seven right yeah and then so
11:22
you don't know everything and then there's two episodes two very long
11:26
episodes still coming inve like another 4 hours to go next two episodes I think
11:32
I've got another four hours to go just with this episode seven I thought the
11:36
idea was that this was just going to wrap everything up and it seemed like
11:38
and I'm sure you would have seen some of this stuff already it just it seemed
11:41
like that's what they were doing it felt like it was heading towards an end yeah
11:44
cuz they were tying up some loose ends or or or they they thought they were at
11:47
least the you know they think they're tying things up maybe we're going to
11:50
find out they're not they felt like it as well like with the whole breaking up
11:54
with the last two episodes I thought they're doing that as a like we don't
11:57
want to spoil the big ending for spoiler everyone so we're going to give a month
12:00
for everyone to watch the first seven episodes and then everyone's got time to
12:04
watch the last two without worrying about spoilers I thought that's what
12:07
they were doing as a neat way to tie it all up but no but I think they are I
12:13
have heard rumor that they're doing a time Jump are going to go into the
12:17
future finally well maybe that's why they're waiting they're literally
12:20
waiting until those kids are old enough to play themselves slightly [Laughter]
12:25
older playing season 2 was '90s some of them I mean I know they're doing their
12:30
best but I mean like will just does not that haircut looks just [ __ ]
12:34
ridiculous on him now yeah yeah yeah exactly he's just too old looking
12:39
to little baby boy haircut yeah exactly every time I look at him I'm like what
12:44
are you doing well it's the same with with Finn as well it's like that mop cut
12:49
that he's got it's like he would have changed that otter
12:53
looking though like will just looks like like a handsome young man now with a
12:57
[ __ ] weird haircut getting very handsome yeah I kind of wished that
13:02
before they really jumped back into like the story that they had have just hung
13:06
around the 80s a little bit more sure well it's ' 86 right so I mean they
13:10
still got half the ' 80s to go if they wanted to yeah but but like it started
13:15
off like the roll When the Roll rink and all of this stuff and then it went back
13:19
into the story and sort of you lost it could be set at any time period
13:23
really there's no no because it's got stuff like I think one of the strengths
13:28
of this season for me as I've seen some negative feedback on it people saying
13:31
it's too dark but like I'm enjoying it but that's I mean that's not surprising
13:35
I like this where people maybe don't but it's got a lot of
13:39
80s stuff in it I still I think like the satanic panic and you know for those I
13:44
just spent more before it just started went dark I would have liked a bit more
13:48
of uh catching up the characters sure I think do you know I literally seen one
13:54
of my first car the 77 Corolla that you guys probably saw at some point before
14:00
my brother wrapped it ran a telegraph poll there was one in the show oh wow
14:05
and I was like that's literally my car and it made me want one but yeah yeah
14:09
did you see the omiga did you see the omiga I saw the I it just keep yeah
14:15
things pop up and I go 1000 and as somebody who had a friend who was not
14:20
allowed to read anything fantasy because it was all evil and who had friends D
14:24
and D books confiscated at school it's all very you know it's touching on a lot
14:29
of nostalgia in that respect oh yeah yeah absolutely yeah cuz I do remember
14:34
like when I was young D and D like being reported it as a bad thing I do remember
14:38
that when I got old enough to probably understand it wasn't anymore well that
14:43
and having you know Paradise Lost that's that's is exactly what comes to mind for
14:47
me is Paradise Lost especially with um
14:50
our favorite character Yeah Eddie mhm I I he's not my favorite character I'm
14:56
sorry who's your favorite character out of the new ones I prefer to Stoner
15:01
guy oh he's good too yeah he is good mind you they did they did use up all of
15:07
Eddie's good moments in that first episode he doesn't have a lot to do
15:11
beyond that first episode I thought he was going to be a real player yeah yeah
15:16
yeah he was just kind of hiding yeah yeah hopefully they'll give
15:20
him something more to do I saw the funniest review cuz I was looking you
15:23
know people had positive things to say one of the negative reviews one star and
15:28
it said something like like um they say nany's the most desirable
15:33
girl in Hawkins but she looks like a bony ugly skeleton one star what's that got to do
15:40
with how good the show is all right I was enjoying it until they said
15:46
Nancy was hot I also I also get the feeling that they're trying to make me
15:51
think she's more attractive than she actually is yeah well but but that's one
15:57
of the other things that I find interesting about this so um what's uh
16:01
[ __ ] I can never remember any characters names um the guy with the cool hair
16:06
Steve Steve Steve takes his shirt off in the last episode
16:11
right and I was now don't get me wrong if I had that body I would never wear a
16:17
shirt again because that would be the best shape I've ever been in my life but
16:20
for a person on television it is horribly disappointing and I was like oh
16:26
God like where where his muscles he looks normal like he just looked like a
16:31
regular guy who eats well in exercises yeah yeah in the ' 80s when we didn't
16:36
have and to be clear not normal me I am not that's not what I look like I'm sure
16:41
that's not what you all look like either he looks in great shape I quite like
16:44
that seed but not TV great shape I might have it one point in the ' 80s but it's
16:50
oh in the ' 80s I certainly looked like that I quite like that scene especially
16:54
when they're talking about how hairy he is how hairy is is and how why that's
17:00
disgusting and then she grabs just and Max grabs talking no nothing one of my
17:05
favorite moments in it is when he's him and Dustin are arguing and he's like I
17:09
will slap you so hard your teeth will fall back out and Dustin's like whoa
17:12
whoa too far man
17:17
whoa I love their Rel their relationship is the best relationship in the entire
17:22
show their little Bromance that's grown and I loved it I think it was the second
17:26
season where he rocks up with his haircut oh I don't remember that I
17:30
should yeah there was one time with d Dustin just has hair I'm going back
17:34
after this and watching from the start again I don't I actually I I want to go
17:37
back but I don't want to go back to season one I want to go back from season
17:40
two and three why you want to start at the shittest season I I don't I for some reason I
17:47
don't want to go back one and four the best orig I want to go back to where
17:50
Steve started being cool yeah cuz he was the bully in season one right yeah
17:55
really okay after well he wasn't I don't he wasn't bad bad like he wasn't
18:00
terrible but he nicest he wasn't the person we have today he wasn't bad at
18:04
the bone yeah he wasn't bad but he he was out there just trying to get
18:10
laid Yeah he still is mate and he is getting laid apparently he's getting
18:15
laid a lot but the well we've been told he is by
18:21
him I mean to be fair that's usually in high school that that was how we knew if
18:25
our friends were getting laid as whether or not they told us they were that's
18:28
that's all we had to go on and you just took their word just good characters all
18:33
of them I can't I'm trying to think who's the weak I mean Will's always been a weak
18:37
character um but do you have a feeling that they've gathered the three weakest
18:43
characters yeah and put them in their own B plot that's true way out in the
18:47
desert yeah that's fair I find that very blatant that the characters that haven't
18:52
quite lasted and even some new characters that have kind of taken their
18:55
place a little bit are now in that in the Scooby gang and they've just got
18:59
their own little mission to be on could it actually just be just the fact of
19:02
when they could people were available to films and that sort of decided cuz what
19:07
else what else is that big brother doing nothing oh yeah he's I don't his
19:12
character they wanted NY to get back with Steve so they wrote him out
19:16
Jonathan his character has really gone downhill since last season like he
19:20
seemed like he was but that's part of it too now he's just a stone a loser yeah
19:25
but I don't know I don't quite understand that but you remember school
19:29
when suddenly like certain friends of ours just became Stoner losers and we're
19:33
like dude you used to be really cool now all you want to do is smoke pot I was
19:38
too busy getting drunk is that a regular Mountain Jew or
19:43
is that one of the high energy Mountain je uh there is only high energy Mountain
19:48
Jew there is only yeah in Australia there's only energized Mountain Jew
19:52
which has more caffeine than
19:55
Coke okay there's not much caffeine and cocaine at all I haven't drank a
20:01
Mountain Dew since the kind of the era we've been been discussing for stranger
20:05
things I drink about four to five a day I really need to cut down I can't
20:09
remember the last time I had one it's been a while I bought some sugar-free
20:13
Brown cream soda the other day and I am loving the [ __ ] out of that
20:18
really sugarfree anything sugar-free that I see just sits there I I'm
20:24
laughing but I drink uh what are they called um spin drifts which is don't
20:29
know what that is well I drink uh I don't have a can here um like um you
20:34
know like flavored fizzy water seltz of water or whatever you I don't know what
20:38
you guys call that there anymore cuz I'm I'm an American so I don't remember what
20:42
things from Australia anymore um but Spindrift is like is like that with with
20:46
some fruit juice in it it's it's got like it's like five calories a can cuz
20:51
it's actually got some juice actual fruit juice in it which it tastes
20:54
infinitely better with just that tiny bit of actual juice in it so mhm with
20:58
that some of that natural sugar yes so I drink those you could probably a day give
21:04
those a try no one one a day at most you can give those a try Luke I like
21:10
Mountain sh though I just drink coffee until a certain point of the day and
21:13
then I switch to beer yeah I shouldn't switch to beer no
21:19
probably not from Mountain Dew no don't do five beers spread out through the day
21:24
we we've all done it but it's it's not especially cuz I have not drinking oh
21:29
wow I got to cut down I got to cut down this is I got out of control with co
21:33
wait hold on I've heard this before not drinking or not Luke
21:38
drinking both not drinking wow that's good I think what the last drink I had
21:45
would have been like 2 3 weeks ago really that's why you've been
21:48
considerably less fun than and it's just because yeah I'm I I I'm not drinking at
21:52
home anymore and I don't go out yeah I'm I'm not giving up drink I sneak out to
21:58
the shed and drink there yeah but it's
22:01
been cold so like a real man my age
22:05
does you know who loves stranger things
22:09
season 4 is Kate Bush yes yeah she's had
22:13
a Resurgence hasn't she mate the it was it's the first time this song has gone
22:18
to number one in the charts now I love this song I always have it because so
22:22
why not anymore though I [ __ ] heard it enough I'm worried now that I'm I'm
22:26
going to have to stop liking it because don't get on Tik Tok mat don't get on
22:30
Tik Tok I sort of found it a little bit strange though cuz it's I it's not that
22:34
much in the show what do you mean it's it's in the show but it's not like every
22:39
two seconds you're hear it no but it's a big plot point so I think people latch
22:43
on yeah but don't forget this show is so Gen X but it's
22:49
targeted strictly at the Gen Zs who don't who had never heard the song
22:53
before you know these are the people who went what's the significance of the Red
22:57
Room when they were in a dark room last season you know they they have never
23:03
they've probably never seeny Walkman before to the Red Room idiots and then
23:07
well and people were saying oh it's a cover of that Placebo song yeah [ __ ]
23:13
annoyed me oh the original was better oh was it tell me more about the original
23:18
version of that song yeah yeah now I I'm a big fan of placebo I love that version
23:22
too but uh yeah just I just thought it was fun and then well it's like the the
23:27
hurt the you know the Johnny Cash song hurt that because it's Johnny Cash
23:31
everyone's like no obviously Johnny Cash didn't cover N Nails that would be
23:35
ridiculous like no he he [ __ ] did he he did yeah that's right even said I think
23:40
that song's found its home he released four albums produced by Mark Ronson and
23:45
the the aim was covering songs you wouldn't normally think Johnny Cash
23:49
would cover right but other kind of Outlaw figures I do agree it's pretty
23:54
good but it's not better I think it's good but one thing though uh the South
24:00
Sydney Instagram ruins episode 4 for me why what episode
24:05
4 it's where in the graveyard the graveyard
24:11
and she hears the song for the first time oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
24:16
so South Sydney Instagram had that no on their Instagram showing it and the mute
24:21
song that she's listening to is Glory Glory to tell Sydney I'm s for I know
24:25
what's going to happen now don't I that's a bummer ah but the good thing is
24:29
I don't care about spoilers yeah that's fair before we move on from that episode
24:34
specifically I want to say that that episode was the greatest 1 hour of
24:38
Television I've ever seen it was it was excellent yeah from the shootout the
24:43
shootout in the California House not one single T oh yeah that that FBI guy was
24:50
amazing I know and I love that he's just like unreal that
24:54
like that actor must have just gone home that night and gone honey I think I'm
24:59
going to be an action [Laughter]
25:04
star yeah good stuff that episode had that sequence it had Hoppers escape from
25:11
the Siberian goulag oh yeah and it had Max's escape from the up and down up and
25:17
down from the upside down world at the
25:21
end the rolly byly World um did they do a lot of one shots in the past Seasons
25:27
cuz I know they've done it a few few times in this one they're doing it well
25:30
not that I remember not that I remember all I remember though is thinking that
25:34
um Matt was completely unimpressed by season uh so episode 4 of uh season one
25:40
of True Detective where they did their one take action shot um that everyone
25:44
raved about and Matt was like no no no that was that was the drug bust episode
25:48
right yeah yeah yeah see that my issues were not with the shot it was with the
25:52
totally because it was totally out of character and completely from a
25:54
different why is this guy now suddenly undercover [ __ ] Action Hero in this
25:59
detective show any but well I could ask you the same about this [ __ ] fat cop
26:04
Matt yeah he was awesome but you're love that I like they like oh you going to
26:08
get this back and his they said his friend was like oh do I get a good scene
26:11
and they're like yeah something's going to happen to you mate you you're in the
26:14
scene you're in the scene you you'll be shoved in a locker yeah yeah yeah um
26:20
you've seen the first half of episode s right seen probably 40 minutes I love
26:25
that that one shot they do when they're sort of saving Steve when they're sort
26:28
of fighting off that I thought that I actually even mentioned to Hannah how
26:32
great I thought that shot was and then also how funny it would have been to
26:36
film cuz it just would have been guys crouching in green bodysuits moving
26:41
stuff e yeah yeah and I was worried that I wasn't going to like that because the
26:47
the upside the up and down the rly poly world was um mysterious because you
26:52
didn't see too much of it you know what I mean especially in season one I
26:55
thought that was done really well where you knew will was in there but you
26:57
didn't know too much about about it yeah it was sort of ambiguous how it all
27:00
worked that's right and I answer a question that I've had for a long time
27:04
in this episode so I quite like that I can't really say it cuz you
27:09
haven't seen it yet up to that point I don't think can you even say what the
27:12
can you say what the question is um it's it's like I've always like
27:19
how did how did the world sort of get how's it there like when when people
27:22
building a house does the house like magically start to build like that know
27:28
I think to me there's an answer to why I know you mean I don't want to say it
27:33
either but I think I understand watch it after this yeah and it's actually how
27:37
that work and there's an interesting aspect to that that they have yet to
27:40
answer that I'm curious
27:42
about okay so it it's it's starting and especially you know they're looking for
27:48
the second opening and all of that it reminds me a little bit of dark the German oh
27:54
yeahi I've got to watch more of that I've only seen the first season because
27:57
it was they'll cancel it watch [ __ ] off and then they did cancel it's
28:01
finished I started to watch season two with Jenna and we were like I don't
28:05
remember anything and this you need to remember otherwise I'm [ __ ] like this
28:10
so there's the third season and it lost me like first season I was like this is
28:15
mysterious and I love that I don't know what's going on second season was like I
28:18
definitely don't know what's going on but I think I still like it was just
28:22
like I am [ __ ] confused yeah he's his
28:26
own father what oh yeah stuff like that
28:30
yeah like the uh the example of that that I liked from a show that kind of
28:36
divided people was then lost when John Lock gives himself the
28:40
watch I loved that yeah because it's like where' the watch come from he gave
28:44
it to himself yeah but where didd he get it from he got it for
28:47
himself and he just and if if time is a circle then that makes perfect sense
28:53
yeah I thought that was cool yeah and yeah it's like that like that but made a
28:58
whole show that was just that and then and then you had to keep
29:02
track of all the watches it's a great movie from the 80s that stars
29:07
Christopher reev as one of his rare non-s Superman roles called Somewhere in
29:11
Time which is actually more of a romance than anything else so you have to kind
29:14
of cop that but it's one of the best time travel movies ever made and it has
29:20
one of those moments as well where in fact it is a watch it's a gold pocket watch
29:25
um and there is no start to its timeline that's interesting all
29:32
right worth watching but just remember it's mostly a romance but it's set in
29:37
this very very cool time travel scenario remember there
29:43
was a that was that movie the guy PS one the time time the time machine and I was
29:50
really enjoying that movie when it was him trying to save his wife but
29:55
realizing that he couldn't and and that whole sequence and then it got boring I
29:59
really wish yeah because then it just became a CGI action movie yeah and I
30:03
thought that yeah that concept of him he was traveling back but he was just for
30:08
some reason he was just never able to save her like it was inevitable she was
30:11
going to die I was like that's FAS F yeah and then they just moved past yeah
30:15
you're right first half of that movie was [ __ ] great yeah and it's a shame
30:20
because the book has never quite been made into a fully good movie because the
30:27
60s version of that film is very enjoyable too but also missed the point
30:31
of the book like the point of the book is that in the future humans have evolved into two
30:38
different paths one that completely aggressive and warlike and one that are
30:44
completely at peace but are completely unprepared for any kind of for food yeah
30:50
and it's and it's like that dichotomy of like which is better to be like docile
30:54
and peaceful or just like aggressive and violent and delicious
31:02
or but the movies just was like okay it's [ __ ] Avatar now he fights on
31:07
these guys side he has to beat the baddies yeah he's forgotten about his
31:13
wife good yeah that's right forget her um so
31:19
when I finally finish stranger things later today um I might switch back to
31:24
Obi-Wan unless you guys have any reason why I shouldn't did did you not watch
31:28
episode SN yet sorry four did I say snore I me I I accidentally misspoke
31:33
because I fell asleep watching it right
31:35
sure mhm I didn't mind it yeah um so
31:41
what was wrong with it just uh it just wasn't very interesting I mean there I mean I don't
31:48
want to go into specifics because you haven't watched it but there I think it
31:50
was a bit of a filler episode which they shouldn't be doing on such a short run
31:56
yeah got a lot of stuff in it where I I go okay I mean all right he's just he's
32:03
just going to hide her under his robe is he all right yeah oh that's not allow
32:09
not allow but that's just an example where it's just like things where it's
32:12
just like you got to go with it otherwise you're going to get annoyed
32:16
just a little lazy yeah yeah like the whole the whole episode it was just felt
32:22
like little things that were like okay all right lazy is a great word to
32:26
describe the the way Star Wars is going and I don't include the Mandalore in
32:30
this but I certainly include Boba Fett it's just a lot of laziness oh did you
32:35
see that clip of um of uh what's his name tamura Morrison at the Star Wars
32:40
celebration on stage talking about how he came up with all the memes like a
32:44
banther wasn't even in the script he just said it and everyone was like
32:47
that's going to be a meme and then he was like go running around going like a
32:50
banther like a banther and the crowd were eating it up and I was like Star
32:54
Wars isn't for me anymore wow we are not on the same page are we
33:00
man I rewatched uh on YouTube as part of something else that chase sequence with
33:05
the mods from oh yeah that that very slow chase scene where you just walk up
33:11
and capture him yeah and like just terrible physics on the CGI scooters and
33:18
it's it's embarrassingly bad but it reminds me of the the chase in the first
33:23
episode of Obi-Wan was kind of like that too where it's it's just like oh that's
33:28
weird and like then they chase yeah I don't understand they've got money and then
33:34
you look at stranger things look at look at the [ __ ] stranger things is like a
33:37
film like it's beautiful like Disney hasn't got the money to just do it good
33:40
mate stranger things is better than any film I've ever [ __ ] seen I think
33:44
Andor is going to come out later this year and I think that one's probably
33:47
going to be something that's going to be better because they're not trying to
33:51
shove Nostalgia down a a throat this time it's a new story it's sort of a new
33:56
character I'm going to say that clip and I'm going to replay that after whatever
34:01
you have to say about it when you actually see it and I hope you're right
34:04
Luke I I pray to Lord Vader that you're all right but Kathleen Kennedy's come
34:10
out and said look they're not going to recast any original characters they're
34:12
all going to go new and I hope they sort of stick with that I'm okay with like having sort
34:16
of like with Rogue one they did have that sort of Darth Vader in it but he
34:21
wasn't driving the story the story wasn't about him I'm hoping that or even
34:24
grou it's like it's a link to other
35:19
[Music]
35:28
like when you you park you just they hover there I love it that you have to
35:30
specify the terrain I'm going to start calling my car a land car they
35:35
not Speeders Sky Speeders water Speeders yeah I know I did the same thing with
35:41
I'm going to call everything I own Earth and then what it's called so that when
35:45
we eventually go to space I can start calling it my like space I'm drinking my
35:49
space milk I I understand actually snow Speeders but aren't they called snow
35:53
Speeders or have I just gotten that from no Empire we' always called it that
35:57
we're always cold but they never refer to snow Speeders they just said we're
36:00
having trouble adapting the Speeders to the cold cold that's just what I call them in my
36:07
head which is fair well they're not Hing in defense there are like there are
36:12
Storm Troopers that are snow troopers yes like so it's not really farfetched
36:16
to think wait so Storm Troopers are meant to be out in storms well it's no
36:21
but remember the the the snow troopers do have that different
36:26
uniform so they do you think they're like they get they flying with the
36:30
starter sto and they're like what kind of planet is this all right you guys are
36:34
up well that would back in your quarters snow strippers actually crazy that would
36:41
actually make sense because they training them for different yeah all
36:44
right at the very least that they would wear different tactical armor and in
36:49
fact I watched a great YouTube video about how costume changes in the
36:54
original trilogy were very important for not only character growth but also
36:58
terrain every single terrain whether it was like basically Luke's peasant farmer
37:04
outfit would have been ridiculous in the snow of Hoth and it would have been
37:08
ridiculous in the jungles of Endor right he gets a different outfit for each new
37:13
place he goes to Ray wears the same clothes through all three films sure
37:19
Finn wears the same clothes through all three films yeah the Stormtroopers we
37:25
the same stuff there some stuff George luas was good on and some he wasn't I
37:28
saw a clip this week I saw a few Clips I don't know why YouTube sh me George
37:31
Lucas Clips cuz well cuz Obi One I bet it's just stuff flitting to the surface
37:35
but it was a clip of um him talking about why people don't like jar after
37:41
episode one and he said can tell him what he says is there's a there's
37:46
fans who are now adults who watch it as kids and they don't want these movies to
37:50
be for kids they don't want them to be funny at all they don't want any comedy
37:54
in them and the problem with jaer is that he's too funny and I was like
37:58
George that's not the problem that is not it and I wonder if he's watch I was
38:03
in hysterics and I was like I hate this look at Guardians of the Galaxy you're
38:07
mistaken right the problem isn't that he's funny the problem is that he's not
38:11
funny but he's but he want problem is he's trying very hard to be funny yes I
38:16
still remember George Lucas's words after the first viewing of sort of the
38:21
final edit I may have gone too far in some places no no the the one I'm think
38:26
off is the one goes where he just goes well it's
38:31
long it is it and I think episode
38:35
one um I think the reason why we don't like them and I think the reason why
38:40
they weren't that good is because George this was at a time where no one could
38:43
say no to George sure and they cuz remember that was his first script that
38:48
was his first attempt at the script went Yep this is it we're filming this oh I
38:51
don't blame George I blame Rick McCullum the producer of those three films whose
38:56
job it is to make sure films are good not just to tickle George's balls and
39:01
say you're a good little filmmaker there's also a clip it was it was from
39:05
when you know when he I think it's 94 when he goes into to write the the the
39:09
prequels and he's got his on his yellow not his Paz pencil and his how to write
39:12
a screenplay books on the shelf behind
39:16
him and actually read a where watching old he's watching an old Buster ke train
39:23
video It's called The General and then like they're doing all these stunts and
39:26
stuff and he's just like how how made me laugh he's like for American
39:33
Graffiti he in the behind the scenes thing George Lucas is actually talking
39:37
about how he had eventually had to write the script for American Graffiti orally
39:41
got someone else to do it but then he didn't like it so he went but he does
39:44
say like I don't like runting screen screenplays like he doesn't like that
39:48
and like good because you're not good at it yeah yeah there's an interview with
39:53
Francis copela on the THX DVD where cuz started American zor Trope and got Lucas
40:00
and Brian De Palmer and Spielberg and uh Martin cesi and it was going to just
40:05
basically keep funding their little projects in this little creative
40:09
incubator until um they made THX 1138 and it lost so much money that the
40:14
company went bankrupt and it never happened but um uh George wanted to make
40:20
Apocalypse Now and he was going to direct that I thought that was supposed
40:24
to happen yeah it was but then Francis convinced him no no no go away and write
40:29
a Sci-Fi script cuz that's that's your thing and he's like but I'm not a writer
40:33
I'm a terrible writer um and he was like no no no no you'll be fine and um in
40:39
many ways he is a terrible writer yeah and look I I think honestly he just got
40:43
lucky he written like a he'd only written like three scripts before he
40:47
went back to write episode one I believe it was TX American graffti and Star Wars
40:53
A New Hope H oh he didn't write anything else did he other people to write
40:59
no what he what he was very good at in the 80s was funding films by other great
41:05
talents like when he produced Raiders of the was great at he was great at sort of
41:10
moving the industry forward like his pushing industrial Light and Magic to
41:15
get the special effects the way they were like was amazing and that's
41:19
originally that's why stars did so great to begin with never seen something like
41:23
that before you know what I was thinking the other day too is you know Empire Strikes Back
41:28
um Anin kersner return the Jedi Richard Mar no one would have picked those guys
41:34
maybe that's the problem no is that that now they're just giving them to people
41:37
who are like Fanboys maybe that's the problem like don't do that AB to
41:42
somebody who you would think has no bus kersner was the senior professor at um
41:49
uh USC film school he was George Lucas Professor who taught him about film
41:53
making and taught him about all those films that he was influenced by for Star
41:59
Wars and he was like that's the obvious choice I'll get that guy but yeah he
42:03
probably had to fight the studio for and not a Sci-Fi and and sci-fi fan all I
42:08
wonder too because we've talked about JJ Abrams has a lot of 80s nostalgia in his
42:14
stuff like all you know like and70s and 80s Nostalgia and he he loves all that
42:17
stuff and he puts it in there and that's what a lot of these movies are is like
42:21
you said before Luke just parading familiar things in front of us so that
42:25
we'll cheer M and like maybe that's the problem is that
42:30
all of these guys are going to do that because they love that [ __ ] too like if
42:32
we were I mean if I was making a Star Wars movie I'd probably put a bunch of
42:36
[ __ ] that I liked from The Originals in there when someone who's like I don't
42:39
really know what Star Wars is yeah your 1979 Cora would be right in there
42:43
exactly flying through the Death Star trench yeah yeah powered by an
42:49
Amiga I don't I think I could do a good job okay all right and not just have it
42:54
like he's no I agree I agree but how would you how would you tow that line Luke between
43:00
uh Nostalgia for the sake of it and kind of keeping those familiar elements of
43:07
the story to remember my idea for a show which I think would do great is that uh
43:12
Rogue Squadron to make that and it's just you're following the life of a a a
43:17
squadron of x-wings mhm so you still got the x-wings are fighting TI fighter got
43:22
the St you still got all those things you're familiar with but it's new
43:26
characters new stories and yeah
43:33
show Starbuck yeah yeah skipping all that part they finally find Earth but
43:39
yeah and not everyone not yeah and people get killed and yeah that's that's
43:46
my idea and that's why I was sort of excited when to make a one movie but
43:50
it's a television show that's what they yeah and it was directed by Patty
43:53
Jenkins and she made a roller skating video as a promo for it and now I think it's
43:59
gone yeah I think they disappear sort of promo for it for Rouge one that's what I'm
44:06
thinking of right Matt you saw that right yeah yeah yeah yeah I remember she
44:09
did a fighter jet one right for for for rogue one or whatever it was called not
44:14
Rogue one Rogue Squadron right yeah yeah yeah know I'm I'll I
44:20
thought there was roller I thought there was two she def uh I don't know maybe
44:25
that was a Wonder Woman thing um but I do think that they've just kind
44:30
of shut up about that I don't think that's happening anymore here's my
44:35
question to you then Matt because how what would you say if you
44:42
found out that the Duffer brothers were going to do on New Star Wars well take
44:46
away TI is doing the next one which I think could be good with The Duffer
44:50
Brothers he loves the80s see I don't know because they are doing a good job
44:55
but they are also doing that thing where they're putting
44:59
things I like in front of me cuz because it you know sets off whatever in my
45:04
brain the the pleasure centers of my brain like oh I remember that from when
45:08
I was when I was a we lad analog pleasure centers from when we were kids
45:12
so they might just end up doing more of that stuff and then the the thing with
45:16
stranger things is it does it's not a thing that existed so they can do
45:19
whatever they want it's not going to piss anybody off whereas with Star Wars
45:22
they probably wouldn't have that you know like I think that's the the problem
45:27
with Star Wars now is that everybody liked different things about it and now
45:31
there's too much of it and it can't all be the things that individual people
45:35
liked so some some of it I like people get very vocal that they don't like it
45:39
very quickly um I did find it the that Ro skating it was rollerblading it's
45:44
just her sort of skating up to a car and
45:47
then talking about it wasn't yeah
45:52
okay yeah exactly fatty Jenkins on some roller blades looks great yeah I didn't
45:58
listen to the audio but yeah just her s basically rolling up to a car talking to
46:02
camera and then getting into an X oh all
46:06
right some lights that's that's
46:10
odd yeah I don't know um just let me get my hands on it I'll fix Star Wars
46:16
they're not going to let you lose we haven't talked about anything in the
46:19
spreadsheet we've talked about a couple
46:23
things need the TV stuff yeah what what do you want to talk about well I
46:29
mentioned Guardians of the Galaxy did you see what's her name from uh Borat is
46:32
in it don't know who she is I just got mention that she's I I hope she plays
46:36
the exact same character that would be [ __ ] I've not seen Borat and I never
46:40
I hope he just takes her for a btim from Borat and PLS her in this she's
46:44
excellent she's amazing and if like assuming that that's not how she really
46:48
is yeah she's a fantastic actor yeah I know you don't like that stuff but
46:52
her I think Sasha Baron Cohen has a particular talent to be able to do that
46:57
and keep a straight face I know you don't like it but I think it it would be
47:00
very difficult to do oh yeah it takes skill it's just a terrible skill to have
47:04
this this girl who I guess she wasn't I forget where she's from but um and she
47:08
was quite young yeah and she's like she was an actress but she was not like she
47:12
didn't have a whole lot of experience and then like literally put her in the
47:14
room with Rudy Giuliani and had her you know pull that performance off so to
47:21
speak yeah yeah well I think I think James guns could like
47:27
finding Talent cuz I also think he's um he's also rat catcher too I think oh
47:31
yeah she's great her name but I think she's she's going to be in Guardians as
47:34
well yeah right she was excellent she was excellent yeah even just putting Chris
47:40
Pratt in a action hero role yeah apparently he had to really fight the
47:45
studio oh he fought against that Oh I thought it was the other way around I
47:48
thought he wanted it no he's well he may have come around on it I I listened
47:52
there was an interview with him on um what's the Jeff Goldsmith podcast
47:58
uh oh the the Q&A was it before that was called cre creative screen that's yeah
48:03
on there they're talking to James gun he was talking about I miss that his
48:06
secretary said to him um you've been
48:10
this guy is asking to speak to you uh I think he could be quite good for Peter
48:14
Quill it's um it's Chris Pratt and James gum was like the fat guy from Parks and
48:19
wreck like they're never gonna go for that and then he Chris Pratt apparently
48:24
said to him I will pay for a personal trainer and I will get into shape um if you just
48:31
give me a chance and then James's like all right and then he did and then and
48:35
then after that he probably did to fight for it but Chris wasn't like the biggest
48:42
star at that stage no he wasn't and so it was good for Marvel because it's hey
48:46
we can do this contract where we pay you very little now and you earn more man
48:52
yeah and he did he did yeah I must say I I think is absolutely perfect for quill
48:58
I don't necessarily like him in much else agreed I don't think he chooses
49:03
particularly good movies and I don't particularly like his performances but I
49:07
watch him as starlord as long as he wants to do it I
49:12
find the more I hear like personally I'm like I don't know if I like him like he
49:18
just doesn't seem I I could be very wrong and obviously I only read [ __ ]
49:22
that comes out in the born again or is he just always that
49:27
yeah but then there's also you know he he obviously split from Anna Faris and
49:31
and he's said just said some odd stuff about the you know they kid and all that
49:34
kind of stuff but I mean it could be overblown but it doesn't strike me as
49:38
the nicest he's not someone is he from he he's not from that
49:43
West Memphis Baptist Church is he I he was from from one of the notorious
49:47
churches but I can't remember which one there was some drama with uh Elliot
49:52
pagee and him because the the church is a member of is very prominent in
49:57
Hollywood and very anti anti- gag anti-lgbt I think it is Hillside could
50:02
be Hill song Hill Hong Hill a in as well Hill song is the Australian Hill song's
50:07
the one that Justin Bieber is a priest in yeah the Aussie one
50:14
H yeah yeah so I know that the Elliot paage came out and said and said things
50:20
like that yeah I just it's not the fact that he is religious it's
50:24
just well it's a particular it's a particular Church he's a member of that
50:29
people have a problem with because they have a particular stance on certain
50:32
things and he's certainly not saying he doesn't hold those opinions as well if
50:37
he's publicly yeah but he doesn't he doesn't really when he talks about it
50:43
he's not doing he's not sort of denouncing what they're saying saying my
50:46
sense of him is that he's very career focused and and and and just in a way
50:51
that sort of bugs me a little bit in that it's almost like he did he ditch
50:56
his whole [ __ ] family to become uh the the movie sty that he is I don't
51:01
know that for sure but he just look just kind of seems like I think that was more
51:05
of yeah that I think him were sort of
51:09
their careers were bit different oh sure but now he's
51:13
married daughter how convenient daughter like and again yeah we're definitely run
51:20
not be fair maybe they're just madly in love and you know I'm just being a prick
51:25
but just I don't know all just seems a little bit Arnold Schwarzenegger's son
51:30
is in the staircase is he HBO
51:33
show is which which son the one with the
51:37
secret one or the or the one with his
51:40
wife oh I yeah well I I still don't
51:45
quite understand how secret son where he a spitting image that kid that looks
51:50
exactly like no I don't I've never seen this kid before in my [Laughter]
51:55
life
52:00
um there is something else on the spreadsheet that I'm actually excited
52:04
about I'm looking at right now is the fact that the Xbox Design Lab is finally
52:09
available in Australia oh yes it is it not before it was not and now it is um
52:16
and I can finally design my Xbox controller that looks like the Super
52:20
Nintendo controller we can finally design the dick troller the thing I love about this is
52:27
it's not stupidly expensive yeah it's about 100 bucks it's about $100 which is
52:32
a cost of a control brand new controller anyway uh so I think it's $10 more than
52:37
if you're just buying one off the shelf but you get to put any of the colors you
52:41
want on yeah yeah you customize pretty much well you can't customize the shape
52:45
of anything but you can customize the color of just about everything and you
52:49
can also have um text added one thing I
52:52
I think they just need to go to that but even that add-ons they're not a stupid
52:57
price like you get the rubberized grips and it'll be like
53:01
$7.95 stupid but what I would love them to do is to get be able to me to design
53:07
my own Elite controller yeah cuz you're Elite the elite controllers are
53:13
amazing well shouldn't surprise you guys to know that I've already used the Xbox
53:17
Design Lab before uh oh I'm not surpris at all because I've uh yeah cuz you both
53:23
had I own one of them that's right I didn't realiz you could do it in
53:28
Australia no yeah it's just one of the things I miss but yeah I quite like the
53:31
price and I'm I'm du for a new controller cuz the one I'm using at the
53:34
moment starting to die a little bit so I could do with a new one I might be doing
53:38
this yeah I might do that too a pretty one you got you got a design in mind or
53:43
you just going to go nuts South Sydney fantastic expect that all right
53:49
red and green I suppose we should have though we should have but yeah I mean
53:52
red and green it look great for sure but I just love that people are just like
53:56
[ __ ] it is going to look like a dog ate a bunch of paint and then vomit it on it
54:00
yeah that is a a pattern that you can have have just have which is just just
54:04
looking at he's a lot of color yeah right yeah yeah like I want it all
54:09
orange but this [ __ ] the left stick green like people are just Fu that's
54:15

56:35
standard per hle delivery which will get it to be between the 13th and 17th of
56:38
September M or I can get the express through a courier service and get
56:43
between the 12th and 13th of September for
56:48
$108 yeah I I love it when they're like this doesn't really value add does it
56:55
no sorry when iing just a moment I'm just I
57:01
need to order this now while it's available all right Singapore had this
57:05
really crazy import export system where
57:09
you could import from other places in Asia specifically China and Japan also
57:15
for incredibly cheap but from anywhere else in the world it was prohibitively
57:21
expensive so you would go on eBay and you would go toris shell pocket comb $4
57:27
great postage $250 yeah I hate when they do that they but
57:34
you could get it for 50 cents with free postage from AliExpress
57:38
right or in my case Amazon confirm that's the thing with Amazon
57:43
here right is sometimes I'm like oh it's not any cheaper if I get it directly
57:47
from the manufacturer or from this site and support them or whatever but then
57:49
they gets to the shipping and I'm like I don't pay for shipping on Amazon it's
57:52
free yeah yeah that's right and they and they'll drop it off at my house tomorrow
57:59
like or even same day yeah you can Oh I thought I was going to get a same day
58:04
one recently and it wasn't quite they don't do same day to where I am but cuz
58:09
you're out in the sticks that's right I'm up murder alley yep very easy to get
58:15
rid of a body I'm so happy I can finally get this fridge you've got one I'm happy for you
58:21
I'm happy for you one that was going to work just put some ice in it use it as
58:26
an Sky yeah do you still physically have it or did you throw it out I still
58:30
physically have it but yeah oh you do okay the look to throw them out anyway
58:35
even if it broke it's an the engine complet the motor completely blew on it
58:39
and there's no way I could did you have it looked or did you just evaluate that
58:43
yourself look oh there was a lot of smoke and a big bang like it died it's
58:49
probably fine and also because it's a fridge you don't want to breath that gas
58:53
in so it's not worth it and it it'll cost me more to get it repaired all
58:58
right F than it's going to cost me to this new one to be set what did you pay
59:03
for it to to buy and import um I think I got it for about
59:08
180 in shipping that's all right oh okay no that's that's I me we got to bear in
59:14
mind though he knows his wife's going to listen to this so he may have may have
59:18
oh reduced that price on that basis I I I haven't and I haven't ordered this new
59:22
fridge I don't know what you're talking about no like that that time you
59:26
accidentally ordered a phone
59:32
yes did it do purpose when you accidentally order a phone wink oh yeah
59:38
that's right I didn't think it' go through I just clicked buy now PayPal is
59:42
to buy one click purchase I didn't know what PayPal was I just clicked
59:47
it I I the man who drunkenly bought a nari that's yeah no
59:54
touche oh have you did you see that there was rumors going around that they
59:58
were going to release a mini Dreamcast oh yeah yeah it didn't actually come
1:00:02
about they're actually releasing the Sega Mega Drive 2 the Mega Drive and it
1:00:07
comes with and you can play so it comes with the 30 games and also look I'm
1:00:11
thinking about getting that one I'd love to get them all and just like have them
1:00:16
in a you know on a shelf just all the mini especially if they were ones that I
1:00:20
owned back in the day they did I think everyone was hoping for like the
1:00:24
Dreamcast 2 uh the Dreamcast but they actually came out and explained why
1:00:29
they're not doing the um they haven't got the fishing rod control [ __ ] all
1:00:32
people brought the and the Dreamcast in the first place well the the stuff that
1:00:37
they used like the original Mini um basically got the technology already
1:00:42
there like the chips that they were using to ship out originally they
1:00:45
already work with like the Sega Mega Drive 2 and stuff they have to go back
1:00:49
and completely redesigned to release a mini Dreamcast so yeah for our American
1:00:54
listeners the Mega Drive is the Genesis that's right yeah but I hope they sort
1:00:58
of when they do get around to it they skip over the sa just go straight to
1:01:01
Dreamcast cuz I want the Dreamcast one I thought the Dreamcast was a great
1:01:05
console the Saturn not so much there is a big chip shortage in the world right
1:01:09
now too there is I have to wait I got I'm I'm currently speaking to you on my
1:01:13
new computer my new Mac Studio which is nice by the way but I um started a new
1:01:20
job as you guys know and my laptop's
1:01:24
still not arrived M so there's there's a shortage of components so I think some
1:01:29
of this stuff is probably going to be uh held up you know like if they were going
1:01:33
to do a new Mini console they might have to wait on that yeah well that's fine by
1:01:38
me because I've recently purchased a retroid 2 plus which is one of those
1:01:44
generic is it good multic console handhelds hasn't arrived yet it should
1:01:49
arrive in the next week um but you you know you basically just load ROMs on and
1:01:54
it's um it runs ulator Android based yeah RS that I've yeah literally just
1:02:00
ripped off of Old cartridges that I've
1:02:02
got piled up out in the garage um and uh
1:02:07
it just it runs a emulator you just scroll through your um scroll through
1:02:11
the consoles until you get to the one you want and I've already have you seen
1:02:16
that some there there's some kickstarters that are sort of finished
1:02:20
and going on at the moment they're they're making like old games for like
1:02:23
Nintendo and Game Boy but they're actually releasing phys I editions yeah
1:02:28
mhm cartridge and put it in and it will play I forgot the name of it but there
1:02:32
was one that that looked very interesting but then I was like I don't
1:02:35
know if I would want to play it and then they said it's releasing on Steam as
1:02:39
well I was like I'll probably just do that if I'm going to play it well there
1:02:41
you go and then but I'm with you because I do miss when I was a kid
1:02:47
having game boxes up on my shelf I used you get that game box and then and even
1:02:53
if you got a PC one was is going to take two hours to install you then had a
1:02:56
booklet to read through it was interesting not just a booklet mate
1:03:00
stickers they was they just fill that box with [ __ ] I remember going would
1:03:04
love remember the first time I ever went to Dave's house and he had a bookshelf
1:03:07
like the one that's behind me here like a fairly large bookshelf just full of
1:03:10
games and I was like [ __ ] yeah yeah his game box collection
1:03:16
was impressive cuz I didn't I did not have that many games couldn't you know
1:03:20
what I'm obsessed with at the moment is uh and I'm I'm sure there's a word for
1:03:25
what you know what's that term for how no one could run a mile faster than a
1:03:29
minute for like thousands of years and then someone did and now everyone can
1:03:33
you know what I mean it's like there's this Tipping Point where something isn't
1:03:36
possible until it is so my favorite thing at the moment is where people make
1:03:41
games for old consoles and old um like
1:03:46
eight and 16bit computer systems that no one thought to push the hardware in that
1:03:52
direction back in those days you know what I mean like people have made yeah
1:03:56
yeah like people have made a good enough
1:03:58
Doom clone for the Atari St or the the
1:04:03
[ __ ] coco or whatever the um but it's like it could have done it back then
1:04:09
they're not using any new technology a great example of that is from Grand
1:04:14
Theft Auto if you look at Grand Theft Auto 4 and compare that to Grand Theft
1:04:18
Auto 5 both on the 360 one start with
1:04:22
life and one one at the end they are the the quality is just vastly different
1:04:28
same console so it's got the same technology but yeah the GTA 5 just
1:04:33
looked amazing and then if you go back and look at four it's just look at um
1:04:36
The Last of Us on the PS3 like remember when that came out I was like [ __ ]
1:04:41
hell like just compared to all the other games that were out at that time was
1:04:44
just on another level yeah and I think it's just because
1:04:48
like at the start developers are sort of new to it and then over years they get
1:04:52
more experience and find out how they can push it that little bit more um the
1:04:56
way we're going though it's not really going to matter I think everything's I
1:05:00
think there's maybe one more console that'll come out and from Sony and Xbox
1:05:05
and then I think they're going to go streaming and the flat Earth's just
1:05:07
going to fall into the sun yeah or off the edge I've been
1:05:12
playing uh a little bit I haven't had much time with it but I've I've got um
1:05:16
the GeForce now cloud gaming thing because I don't have a I don't have a PC
1:05:22
uh and I was like when I was deciding what I was going to get to you know
1:05:26
replace my aging personal laptop that I'm now using for work as well
1:05:31
um so I got the studio because PC laptop
1:05:35
no no no it's it's an old Mac laptop years old now um yeah and I was like
1:05:41
it's time um MH and I was like don't I don't want another PC I like working on
1:05:45
the Mac and then so I tried out the GeForce now thing again and I've been
1:05:48
playing uh I loaded up valheim in it and it's perfect it works perfectly well I
1:05:52
think that probably is the future wait you're playing valheim on a Mac yeah
1:05:55
because it's not running on the Mac it's running on nvidia's servers cloud
1:06:00
service somewhere oh [ __ ] my internet here is quite good so I mean that's
1:06:04
obviously that's a factor but it it like it's fine it's perfectly playable like
1:06:09
and and it looks infinitely better than I than a PC I could afford is because
1:06:14
I've got the plan with the was it the RTX uh let me open this up and I'll tell
1:06:18
you I I it cost me I think it's 10 bucks
1:06:22
a month for this thing um and it's the uh
1:06:28
RTX 380 is that good
1:06:32
Luke yes it's what I've yeah okay so my games are running on
1:06:37
that yeah that's that's the um video card I have and that's an amazing one
1:06:43
yeah so I I basically also very quite hard to get your hands on I rent one
1:06:46
Matt doesn't have to get his hands on no because the server somewhere has got one
1:06:49
in and I just use that server so yep wow I've started to dabble on the the cloud
1:06:55
service for Xbox sometimes when I go hey I just I don't want to quite play it but
1:06:58
it's only available on Xbox game pass games some games I see it I'm like well
1:07:02
I don't need to cuz I've got it but I do I am curious about it yeah and just be
1:07:06
able to hit that button and just load it up instantly and play I quite like but
1:07:12
it still doesn't be actually just interet again owning it oh yeah do you
1:07:16
get premise at your new place yeah I should do it's unconfirmed
1:07:23
yet because technically my address doesn't even EX yet so they can't look
1:07:26
it up I think with all new properties they're going designed with they're
1:07:31
building with no so you can finally get gig yeah we remember we had that I can
1:07:36
finally have the the internet speeds that I had for $40 a month in [ __ ]
1:07:42
Singapore as the default and it'll cost you 150 yeah yeah do we have we I know
1:07:48
we had fiber at Oran was that did you moved out by the time I got that or we I
1:07:54
can't remember if you got to experience that that was like the best internet I
1:07:58
ever had in that in Australia so fast that wasn't NBN yes you went yeah
1:08:05
before they canceled all that [ __ ]
1:08:10
yeah yep sorry things moving
1:08:17
on yeah I can't voice my opinions on that that's fair I didn't I didn't I
1:08:22
didn't think of that we can move on we could move on into the after party but
1:08:25
we should probably segue there somehow yeah well I mean speaking of
1:08:29
things that uh are cancelled um the Afterparty is where we say stuff that uh
1:08:34
could potentially get us said the after canel and I was like [ __ ] what am I
1:08:37
going to do with all this beer what are you and heroin bathe in
1:08:44
it and hookers well I'll find a use for them obviously but to bring you beer
1:08:50
