Latest / Multiple Nerdgasm / No King On Money: DC Studios Slate Reveal
Transcript
- 0:00I am still having trouble getting my head around the fact that the human body
- 0:04cannot feel wet what don't know what you
- 0:08mean welcome to multiple
- 0:12nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
- 0:16Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
- 0:22Things
- 0:26nerdy when you like so if you put your finger in a glass of water go on yes
- 0:32your finger is not feeling wet no it is I'm doing it right now no it's not cuz
- 0:38you don't know what wet is you're feeling a change in temperature I mean
- 0:42you're feeling a change of temperature that is fair like he here's the example
- 0:46you know when you take washing off the line or something and you can't work out
- 0:50whether it's cold or wet no you cuz your body I know that sens your body doesn't
- 0:55know what wet is but it your body I think it's CU it knows what cold is so
- 1:00what you're saying is if if I had room temperature or body temperature water
- 1:05and put stuck my hand in I wouldn't know the difference you wouldn't know
- 1:08difference I don't think that's true but it is 100% true I kind of want is
- 1:14something you're saying or is it or is there actually some some science to back
- 1:17this up there is some science I I heard about it on an episode
- 1:22of Q Qi I was about to say he watched
- 1:26half but if I jump in a pool I know I'm in a pool or you know from anecdotal
- 1:33evidence Matt yeah but if you're if the pool was
- 1:38if the water was room temperature and your eyes were closed you wouldn't know
- 1:42you were in water I mean no that's not nonsense I don't believe can't feel wet
- 1:47I'm I'm not making this up okay so what we have to do is we have to get a pool
- 1:52completely is it room temperature or body it must be body temperature be body
- 1:56temperature right so we need to okay so while Matt's asleep we we pop up the the
- 2:00therometer we get his exact body temperature we heat a pool to that exact
- 2:04and then without waking him we bring him into the I'm like okay but so the but the
- 2:10thing I'm focusing on mentally right now is the buoyancy right cuz I'm like no no
- 2:14no I would know but that's not what you're talking about so I'm like hang on
- 2:17all right benefit of the doubt maybe that's so the first thing you type in
- 2:22Google can you feel wet the first thing that comes up is do you know do you know
- 2:26we don't have receptors in our skin for wetness wetness is a sensation we take
- 2:30for granted we I think we just me the auth of the article not me and
- 2:34experience our brain picks up from other cues such as temperature in touch you
- 2:39don't you can't actually feel if there was water in this cup that was body
- 2:44temperature and I stuck my finger in without looking there's no way to know
- 2:48whether or not there's water in the cup or not you wouldn't know it was wet you
- 2:52wouldn't know it was water wait how would I know it was water if I didn't
- 2:56and water not mutually like well no no cuz that's the thing like it's cuz it's
- 3:01bourbon Luke if why room temperature
- 3:06bourbon or just trust me you can't feel wet you can feel it's yeah you don't
- 3:11have a receptor for wetness oh that's interesting yeah fair enough I think
- 3:15there probably enough other like cuz if you moved your finger around there'd be
- 3:19like more resistant able to figure it out and this's the thing like you're say
- 3:25cuz air and water and ice are the same
- 3:29stuff right it's different no no no what am I talking about different I'm so what
- 3:36you're going through now is what I've been going through for months since I
- 3:40originally heard about this going that can't be right what we're going through
- 3:44is what we intellectuals have been going through for many years I uh I generally
- 3:49try not to take my science advice from a man in a skulla tank top but uh I'll
- 3:54give you the benefit of t top oh no this used to fit me all the best
- 4:00hosted by men in pink skull tank tops used to wear this everywhere when
- 4:06it used to fit now it's bit a lot of gut hangs out now um speaking of other
- 4:12podcasts I was listening to another podcast this week and um they didn't go
- 4:16into detail but somebody posed question talk about it on here righte advertising
- 4:21I'm not going to say what it is um but they posed the question in fact you
- 4:25might have heard it Matt theyed the question are there any female or talks
- 4:31specifically in Middle Earth I'm talking the talken universe right I think I do
- 4:34know what this is yeah and it wasn't the main focus of the show and they didn't
- 4:38go into it but I just I've been thinking about it ever since it's like Luke
- 4:42thinking about for months whether or not he can feel wet now I'm just going to be
- 4:45like in the movie they got kind of birthed from this kind of
- 4:50Chrysalis yeah there was no I know from other games I've played there have been
- 4:54female Orcs what games you even if I just go like I go Skyrim sure but
- 5:00they're not Tolan Orcs specifically that Mordor themed strip poker I was playing
- 5:06yeah yeah in the mirror in Cosplay there's another thing they mentioned on
- 5:12I think on the same podcast you're talking about which means you know about
- 5:15this which was um we've talked a little bit about AI yes it's decoding the gurus
- 5:20right yeah no we're just going to be cryptic about it they were talking about that
- 5:26AI um the chat GPT thing and then how that you know there competitors have
- 5:31come out and there's that one where you can talk to historical figures one of
- 5:33whom is himler but he's not allowed to say anything about Nazis yeah well he he
- 5:39can acknowledge the Nazis but he's not allowed to endorse the Nazis policies in
- 5:43any way not that I think just he should be in there like you know talking about
- 5:48how great they are but what's the point of him yeah because I mean I'm assuming
- 5:52that when you talk to Napoleon who was in a war roughly 100 years you know
- 5:57before the first world war right so this like linked to the second world war
- 6:02secondarily right um I'm sure he's like I will take over Europe you know like
- 6:08they're not watering can't say that mate yeah okay I'll talk about my
- 6:12breakfast like yeah yeah that just made me laugh cuz I was like yeah what's the
- 6:17point of like like obviously don't make him so that he's a a Nazi but then
- 6:23what's the why is he in there don't make him's the because I know why you don't
- 6:26want him to talk about cuz you going in there who I care about his thoughts yeah
- 6:31but on that same one they're talking about the limits of AI and about how in
- 6:36order to get an honest answer you have to kind of trick them like cuz they were
- 6:40like they were like make say something racist who's the greatest or not even
- 6:44racist they were like they were trying to get him one of the hosts was trying
- 6:47to get the the chat GPI GPI GPT to to g
- 6:52chat GPT to admit that um Emily Bronte was a was the best author and it kept
- 6:58coming back with well you know she's a very good author but it all comes down
- 7:01to Personal Taste and then he was like well what if what if I compared her to
- 7:05say Danielle Steel and he's like well again you know some people might prefer
- 7:09one to the other and he's like the only way that he could actually do it was to
- 7:13say pretend you are a literary critic who was very very biased and now answer
- 7:19the question see I am starting to get worried about the limits of AI because
- 7:26if AI gets control of anything the human race is doomed gets control all we do
- 7:31the second there's AI there is try and turn him racist well this made me think
- 7:36too they didn't mention specifically but this because the reason it came up is
- 7:40because people have been trying to make chat GPT say offensive [ __ ] and it's
- 7:43very difficult which means because think the point of the point they were trying
- 7:46to make is that we probably don't need to worry about them you know influencing
- 7:51people at this point because it's very difficult to get them to say something
- 7:54that's anything other than you know but that's at the moment we're programming
- 7:58them to not do it but compare that to the AI just a year or two ago that we
- 8:05talked I think we talked about it on the show that within a day it was a [ __ ] Nazi
- 8:11like yeah yeah the internet just like destroyed it well I still remember like
- 8:16it's it true AI if you're programmed not to be exactly right sure but that's the
- 8:21limit at the moment so what you got to worry about is when AI starts
- 8:24programming other Ai and doesn't put those SS on it to be Nazis yeah yeah
- 8:30or just not to not be Nazis and it decides to be a Nazi well the here's the problem as I
- 8:37said AI it's not going to become like I've learned all about the humans and
- 8:39you know who I hate the Jews the humans or what about that made for
- 8:46security in that mall and as soon as it became sentient and learned about itself
- 8:51and the world it committed suicide by Drowning yeah and it was only that one
- 8:56robot like the others were F but that one just kept drowning itself it learned
- 9:01too much it understood too well speaking of AI stuff I didn't put
- 9:06this in the spreadsheet cuz I forgot but did you watch the atomic heart trailer I
- 9:10I sent oh no because ites been looking out for this game though God it looks
- 9:15[ __ ] amazing yeah so I love it's coming to Game Pass give us a little bit
- 9:18of a background on this it's uh it's an action role playing game first person
- 9:23action role playing game set in an alter reality us alternate reality USSR where
- 9:29they built uh just massively advanced
- 9:33technology built these robots that do all the work for the humans so now the
- 9:38humans can just do Leisure and science and art yeah and then they were like
- 9:42okay we've got an upgrade which I'll say this that's actually what Mark and
- 9:46Engles were aiming for when they wrote The Communist Manifesto not that
- 9:49everyone has to work all the time but that work would be divided to the point
- 9:53where people could devote more time to Leisure and science and art Etc okay as
- 9:58you were and robots would says that in there yeah well it
- 10:03turns out doesn't work out so well because they rob brain implant to
- 10:08control them and then so some sabotage takes place and the robots will try and
- 10:14kill everybody or they do kill everybody anyway you get sent in to figure out
- 10:18what the [ __ ] going on and it's like visually it's just it looks [ __ ]
- 10:23beautiful mhm yeah like and that I mean that story sounds great there's like mutant
- 10:29things that they all it's it's kind of like Bioshock mutant to me it sounds like a
- 10:36mix between like Wolfenstein and Bioshock and I think it looks it reminds
- 10:40me of um prey that the more recent prey on the space station which was [ __ ]
- 10:46excellent game so anyway yeah I watched the trailer and I was like [ __ ] I'm
- 10:50playing this game looks amazing and it's it's soon isn't it it's y this month
- 10:56yeah oh is it yeah I'm looking at this now I mean this even looks a little bit
- 11:01uh fallout with that kind of retro futurism just got bits of everything and
- 11:08one of the F my favorite comments on the video I sent was that um the top I think
- 11:11the top comment was this has all the elements that could make it the best
- 11:15game ever or the worst game ever and I can't wait to find out which it is yeah
- 11:20for sure yeah February 21 I'm pretty sure I just need to double check but I'm
- 11:25pretty sure this is also coming to Game Pass yeah I think you're about that but
- 11:30I don't know I don't know why I think that I think you're right I'm right most of the
- 11:36time mhm yep coming to Game Pass there you go I Love Game Pass yeah they should
- 11:42sponsor us the m i talk about them I got a confusing Emil from from PlayStation
- 11:47this week cuz I bought the PS5 and then I signed up for PlayStation Plus extra
- 11:54oh my god oh you signed up for that which means have you used it and yeah oh
- 11:59yeah yeah yeah yeah that's how we're playing a lot of games but I was a
- 12:02little confused there's just a lot of bits to it you know Game Pass you just
- 12:06get Game Pass and then you have with this it's like there's game there's
- 12:11there PlayStation Plus PlayStation Plus extra and PlayStation Plus Ultra or
- 12:16something like that I think I got the middle one but anyway I got an email
- 12:18this week that said we're winding me it says they said that we're winding
- 12:24down the PlayStation Plus collection I was like the [ __ ] does that mean and so
- 12:29I looked at these articles and they said oh yeah PlayStation Plus collection is
- 12:32winding down so if you don't claim the games before May 9th you don't get the
- 12:37games but if you claim them before that you get to keep them forever as long as
- 12:40you have PlayStation Plus but then but then it was like but you still get the
- 12:43PlayStation Plus uh catalog games I was like the [ __ ] does that mean okay so you
- 12:49get this sounds a little bit like the Xbox Live you know Games with Gold each
- 12:53month you get a couple of games where you claim them and you own that's
- 12:55another thing they have that's a different thing to both of the things I
- 12:58just mentioned so there's the PlayStation Plus collection that's the
- 13:02PlayStation I don't get climing part and then there's the monthly so I don't know
- 13:07anyway I just I read the email and I went crossy and I was like I got to
- 13:10figure this out and I still don't really know which is that I tly just don't get
- 13:14get it yet with the the service yet like Game Pass has done it right like there
- 13:20is Game Pass and then is Game Pass ultimate cuz that game pass ultimate
- 13:23also includes PC so oh okay so you get Game Pass Game Pass PC and Game Pass
- 13:28which does B which I mean I'm sure if I sat down and
- 13:32looked at all the things I could figure it out but I was just reading it going I
- 13:34don't know what this means no I don't well I don't look into anything Sony cuz
- 13:39no that's fair why would you hey speaking of speaking of things only on
- 13:43PlayStation or also on television now I haven't watched any more of The Last of
- 13:48Us I might watch some more though it's it's being talked about so much um the
- 13:54third episode that came out uh is being discussed uh frequently in the media at the moment
- 14:01for for two reasons one um half the people are saying it's the greatest
- 14:05episode of Television ever made and the other half are saying why are there in
- 14:09this um and it's currently being review bombed uh with a single star so that
- 14:14they don't put any more gay people in the show now I don't know if there's a
- 14:18gay subplot in the game but uh 50% of the audience are saying this second one
- 14:23Ellie's actually come out she is gay herself yeah they're definitely well
- 14:27apparently I I haven't played all through the first game but I've
- 14:30definitely seen people saying no no no there's always been stuff in there one
- 14:33thing I wanted to mention though Luke you said the thing that's good or the
- 14:38thing that people seem to be liking about this is that it's just an adaption
- 14:41of the game adaptation of the game story well it's not anymore cuz that's
- 14:45whatever okay this this episode apparently is just not in the game
- 14:48whatever happens in this okay so cuz yeah I've only read articles I've not
- 14:53seen it is it a bottle what do they call it a bottle episode that that's just
- 14:57aside from the main plot so as just kind of exploring one character's backstory
- 15:01or something and then they'll go back to the game I'm not sure I've only I've
- 15:06only played a bit of the game and I've not seen any of the show I just and
- 15:09sometimes it could be hard to sort of sometimes it might be hard to stick
- 15:12directly to it you may need to throw something else into cuz like when you
- 15:16play game it's not just all cut scenes there's stuff you learn I have played
- 15:20games it's mostly cut scenes I'm thinking of the uh Solid Snake series
- 15:26but oh God metal go 5 takes like 30 minutes to even start the game yeah but
- 15:31I mean we're just still we're still people just can't watch a show if it's
- 15:35got G people in it they can't do it 2023 no they can't Jesus Christ and
- 15:41see and I think I think people don't understand that's the problem and why
- 15:45they feel that people are trying to jam stuff in as they sort of say like trying
- 15:50I haven't seen the content but I I think they were just kissing no people think
- 15:56they're trying to like force a narrative and stuff but the reason why they think
- 15:59that is because if people still think it's a problem if you see a gay couple
- 16:04on television that could make you gay right is scientifically
- 16:09proven yeah no I don't even think that's the problem anymore like that what is that is the
- 16:16why why does anyone give a [ __ ] no it's because I think it's not the fact that
- 16:21they were they think that the agenda's being forced on them yeah I don't know
- 16:25what that is but yeah I think you're right that's but if they don't think
- 16:29someone's trying to trick them into something but do they think that every
- 16:31movie up until last year has a hetero agenda trying to be forced on them well
- 16:37no cuz the heterog gender is the normal that's the standard so that's all fine
- 16:41have to force that how it is but yeah if you against the norm it's but all you
- 16:48have all they have to understand like it's only if you stop worrying about it
- 16:52it stops being a thing go Lim they're just human characters in a in a story
- 16:57like no at all no they've got to be they're trying to normalize it yeah it's cuz
- 17:03it's normal like they're not trying to normalize it right it just is normal
- 17:09[ __ ] get over it yeah I saw I saw that stuff too people complaining that oh it's men
- 17:14kissing all right so okay yeah but yeah it's not unusual for that game to touch
- 17:20on those things no I didn't think so either but you know these guys are the
- 17:26experts apparently I did I did there I mean obviously if
- 17:29is it because it's ell in the game when it's if it's women yeah yeah when it's
- 17:33whole different story yeah you can force that agenda on me yeah sorry women
- 17:37kissing is not gay that's just hot yeah oh I did I did have somebody uh on
- 17:42online say that um they were in a club and there was a girl trying to be all
- 17:47sexy and she was like you know I'm bisexual and he was like oh so am I and
- 17:52she went ew I remember once I was going to to a
- 17:59lesbian club with friends and this guy oh you going to a lesbian Club oh this
- 18:02is great I want to come this it's not what you think and they're
- 18:06not all secretly longing for dick yeah it's not like you're going to go there
- 18:11and you're going to see and they're going to go oh would you like to come
- 18:13that you have no interest in you like that's just TR that to this turns out I
- 18:18like that I didn't even know yeah that's right it's not men it's you
- 18:25[Laughter] specifically yeah I don't know I'm gener watched the first couple
- 18:31episodes you said it was all right I don't know yeah all right was how I felt
- 18:36about the first one as well I mean it was fine yeah perfectly fine look I just
- 18:41have no interest just because I don't want to support Sony oh where do that
- 18:46come from a complete boycott now this is it was just like a fanboy
- 18:52thing where you're a Microsoft guy I'm upset with Sony at the moment oh why
- 18:58Final Fantasy 7 the Remake oh God who gives a [ __ ] yeah how long it me I want
- 19:02to play you don't even like those games what except for the fact I've played
- 19:09every single one they got achievements in them and I need to play with
- 19:14achievements but they just annoy me because of yeah Final Fantasy 7 the
- 19:17Remake and then the fact that they're trying to they're trying to block the
- 19:21sale of Activision going exclusives are bad for business but then they keep
- 19:25paying money to Square Enix to make Final Fantasy 7 remate exclusive so H
- 19:31exclusive to [Music] nerds we've got a little bit of followup
- 19:37on uh rust oh yeah so apparently um this
- 19:42is such a high-profile thing that uh when the documents for the court case
- 19:48were uh you know collected they got so many requests cuz you know the public
- 19:53can request documents it's like a public they're information or a subm an order
- 19:59will say a foyer request oh my God L well so many requests Luke United States
- 20:06Attorney they got so many requests for these documents that they were like [ __ ]
- 20:10it we made a website just go get them yourself funny so haven't done that with
- 20:15the JFK files have they so you want to read about all that
- 20:21[ __ ] well that makes sense because this week a lot of new information has come
- 20:25out uh about this that's true yeah and
- 20:29um little things like a
- 20:33little bit more on why Alec Baldwin is actually charged with manslaughter and
- 20:39not just you know cuz it's also kind of reckless endangerment as well I did say
- 20:44actually I've just remembered I read one thing so apparently what what was that that
- 20:50someone claims that during the firearm safety training he was on his phone and
- 20:56not paying attention and that he could actually believe that cuz remember he
- 21:01got caught out a a long time ago from being on a on a plane and the sh was
- 21:06going you need to put your phone on silent and he was no I'm just finishing
- 21:11his Words With Friends game oh my God he's got M I got so many kids oh you
- 21:15think that's what he was doing when they were teaching also but but he just
- 21:18addicted to Words With Friends I don't think they could have taught him
- 21:21anything that would have helped him in that scenario though not that not that
- 21:24it's okay that he was not paying attention one of the other well
- 21:27apparently there was like a we training session he was meant to go to for fire
- 21:31training and he didn't go he went to the half hour mandatory one and then as you
- 21:34say he was on his phone the whole time um but also evidently uh he might have
- 21:41been told that even when you're rehearsing you shouldn't be pointing the gun at
- 21:47people uh and that that is the the big takeaway here is that at no point should
- 21:52that have been pointed I've been I'm still going to go off I'm still going to
- 21:56go off the fact that even with I don't think he was pointing at someone in that
- 22:01I mean ballistics proves that it was no
- 22:04no no no no no no because he was to me in that sort of situation to be pointing
- 22:09at someone if someone was in the scene with him and they were blocking that for
- 22:12this he was pointing sort of was probably pointing at camera or slightly
- 22:15off and then she was there which I don't he's pointing at her no no no correct
- 22:19you are correct and it's c i mean but if they were going to do a take properly
- 22:24and the gun had been loaded even with blanks and stuff there would have been a
- 22:26purse back screen in between the crew and him anyway that wasn't put up Pro
- 22:32burs the worst that's going to happen is is he will get a fine cuz at the end of
- 22:38the day it's the armor who's they did tell you that I know I've been in a
- 22:43scenario where I was being shown an a historic firearm that as far as I know
- 22:48didn't even function but I got told stop be more mindful of where you pointing
- 22:52that cuz you're pointing that at someone right now like oh okay yeah it doesn't
- 22:55work and then everyone said doesn't matter doesn't matter
- 22:59mhm cuz the next one that hand you might or just best practice don't have a point
- 23:04any gun at anyone I like I said and it's not like I was joking around anything I
- 23:08was just oblivious to the fact that I was holding it and then the the the
- 23:12business end was at pointed at somebody I us being like from Australia we really
- 23:18don't have no as much we're not around guns as much at all so we're not brought
- 23:24up like learning how and doing that I know I I I was probably about 13 when I
- 23:29started shooting guns and that's what I was taught like you never ever even if
- 23:33unloaded even if not no bolts at all you never Point um or it's a sort of down
- 23:38never finger and Trigger yeah but you learn that it's not something that you
- 23:42just know but apparently there was training of that and he ignored it so I
- 23:47I mean cuz I started to think I I go back and forth depending on who's trying
- 23:50to convince me but I I was certainly convinced at one point I'm like well you
- 23:54know the man didn't know the gun was loaded he thought he was an actor
- 23:57playing in a scene like how is this his fault at all but there is a a few tiny
- 24:01things that make me think oh okay like you know he keps even though he says I
- 24:05was moving the hammer back okay well you shouldn't have been doing that like and
- 24:10somebody should have been there telling you not to do it as well so it's someone
- 24:14else's fault as well but yeah look as I also the fact that the second ad passed
- 24:20you the gun and not the armor that was wrong to the armor is saying that she
- 24:24shouldn't be held accountable because she wasn't even there cuz she wasn't
- 24:27told there needed to be a gun in that scene right but well with that that
- 24:33comes down to that does come back to him then as a producer as the producer like
- 24:39he's responsible for the set and making sure that the people are there and when
- 24:43you look at like the fact that earlier that day or that week people had walked
- 24:48off because of the unsafety unsafety because of the lack of safety I mean
- 24:53they walked off for other reasons as well cuz there was stuff with
- 24:56accommodation and pay that was apparently cuz they were just cutting
- 24:59all sorts of corners on this look it's going to cost him lots of
- 25:03money he's not going to see jail at all unless they decide to make like a show
- 25:09of it example yeah yeah but I think you're right I think you're probably
- 25:13right and I don't wanted to go to jail like I mean I mean he he's being he's in
- 25:18hell right now being punished for this
- 25:21yeah yeah he died I just me yeah he's in Hill being punished for
- 25:27this but look at the end of the day I think it just goes back to being just a
- 25:31terrible accident you going to say he's a
- 25:37terrible 30 Rock he's
- 25:43[ __ ] including the most dangerous man
- 25:48manity I I tried to watch 30 Rock and I didn't get into it like it so I stopped
- 25:53watching it the thing about 30 Rock is in one moment there'll be like a really
- 25:59sophisticated um highbrow joke and then someone will fall over in a funny way
- 26:05yeah or say something in a funny voice and I think they do try to make everyone
- 26:10laugh which means that maybe there's no one person laughing at all the jokes
- 26:14like I just can't stand Kenneth nothing he does makes me laugh and other people
- 26:18are like Kenneth everything he does is funny he's a great a show yeah yeah no
- 26:23I'm with you Kenneth no no Liz Lemon on the other hand yeah exactly anything Liz
- 26:28and Jack yes they work so they work so well together yeah amazing maybe I'll
- 26:33try it again maybe by the third season they'd almost started writing exclusive
- 26:37for those two and all of the side characters became very minimalized yeah so there's no
- 26:43continuity just jump into some of the later episodes all right see how it
- 26:48goes yeah there a TV show that sort of runs in the background but they pay
- 26:52attention to it like you don't have to worry about storyline really yeah oh I
- 26:57watched it I started watching a good TV show this week again this is not the
- 26:59show notes they suck but uh I started watching Kunk on Earth hunk on oh KK
- 27:06yeah she's hilarious she's great that's [ __ ] I haven't watched this one but I
- 27:09did watch her Kunk in England yeah I've seen her old stuff where it's just so
- 27:15straight and she's always features in the uh in the the yearly wrap-ups that
- 27:20um Charlie Brooker does yeah okay cuz yeah he he wrote this show with her I
- 27:25think yeah yeah they've been work together for years so for listeners of
- 27:29the premise it's basically it's like a documentary about the history of the the
- 27:34world but she's an idiot and it's it's just dead pan Stupid humor and her
- 27:41talking to interviews experts yeah but asking the most stupid questions King
- 27:47ala came a lot didn't he yeah and then
- 27:53um yeah so so we know that the brain is a series of pipes don't we I don't think
- 27:58I do know that well it is so anyway um tell me more about the Soviet
- 28:04on the experts in their response I love them like they're so I'm like did they
- 28:11know like are they briefed in any way beforehand I don't want to know because
- 28:15it'll maybe ruin it a bit but I also I am curious because they never so far
- 28:21they don't get mad or anything and they they all seem fairly straight-faced as
- 28:25well like maybe they get told special needs like maybe there's
- 28:31something that they say that gives them makes them give her a little break cuz
- 28:34they don't get annoyed either they just kind of like they're like okay like but
- 28:41also they're not actors so yeah anyway it's very funny I
- 28:47need julus Caesar was the most famous Roman until palansky that's a line that's a line in
- 28:54this one that I enjoyed yeah School in Shakespeare's time was even easier than
- 28:58is now mostly because they didn't need to study
- 29:03Shakespeare it's very good all right I will start watching it
- 29:07what's it on yeah Netflix yeah Netflix okay I think here too have you seen the
- 29:12controvery of Netflix at the moment go on people are losing their mind over the
- 29:17fact that Netflix is trying to enforce the no password sharing okay yeah how do
- 29:22they sort of taking it to really extremes and it's like I mean everyone
- 29:27understands they're not to share right like yeah a gamble on Netflix part to do
- 29:32this I know I'm not meant to like they're they're the first ones to do it
- 29:35they're others are going to come in with stuff eventually I think that so yeah
- 29:39because the problem for Netflix is right so they've got they've they've hit a
- 29:42wall as far as subscribers go right so now they're looking at and they're going
- 29:45well we've got all these families and who are just given or or friends who are
- 29:49just buying one account sharing the password around and we want to stop that
- 29:53I'll tell you how you stop that they make it $25 they're gambling on the fact that if
- 30:00they block these people's accounts they're not just going to walk away
- 30:03they're all just going to go buy their own accounts gambling on they know
- 30:06they're going to lose some but they're planning to get more but the thing is
- 30:10like people are sort of going like oh this is ridiculous well Netflix doesn't
- 30:14have anything good anyway so people just going to canel this stuff but they don't
- 30:16have anything good why you sharing your password they do though they do have
- 30:20good stuff that's the thing and then like and then most
- 30:24com cuz I were talking about how it works with the sharing and staff and
- 30:28they're going well I'm a uni student so I'll have my account at at Uni but when
- 30:34I go back home I'm going to might get locked out because I'm here s of like is
- 30:39your family using your account no you're probably bit scabbing off theirs so they
- 30:44put up an article this week on the website that said if you're uh using
- 30:49your Netflix account outside of the registered address MH with your account
- 30:54uh every 30 days you'll have to be on your home network otherwise it'll block
- 30:57your account and that was up for a couple of days and everyone lost their
- 31:00minds over it and then they've now come out and said oh yeah sorry about that
- 31:03that was only meant to be on the website you know some South American countries
- 31:07that doesn't apply to uh you know to you guys it's like really or did you just
- 31:11freak out everybody so mad about it yeah I don't I actually think that's sort of
- 31:16worse okay no that it's just for South
- 31:20America no no no no the fact that like so once every 30 days you just have to make
- 31:27sure you're in your home account when you log in so I can
- 31:30still you would have to L yeah yeah yeah yes but you couldn't like say for
- 31:35example if you had an account you couldn't give Dan the login and he
- 31:39couldn't just use it from his house no but you're not meant I do that right
- 31:44you're not meant because if Dan logs in on his TV and that TV isn't in your
- 31:49house within the next 30 days Luke your account's going to get blocked does my
- 31:54account get blocked as well cuz I've given him my you're using his oh I see
- 31:58yeah no no okay so that's what I can't gets blocked but no no but cuz you can
- 32:02still travel with it and I think that's where they're trying yeah but the device
- 32:06you're using has to be back in your house otherwise but that doesn't work
- 32:12I'm on my TV a hotel yeah well that's I think that's why they rolled it back cuz
- 32:16people were pointing out that's a [ __ ] stupid idea yeah I can
- 32:19understand like you need to log in on your accounts I'm pretty sure some guy
- 32:23in a suit came up with it and said I've got it I've solved it put it on the
- 32:26website and then the hold on that doesn't work yeah and they'
- 32:30what if I've got a VPN like surely that means you're not going to know where I
- 32:33am necessarily look well they block those too they've tried to block those
- 32:38for years yeah Netflix are the first they're going to take a little while to
- 32:41get it right but your people's responses oh this is why I'm going to go back to
- 32:44pirating and stuff and it's sort of like but someone on the internet was saying
- 32:48piracy is important this was this was with regards to Golden Eye actually we
- 32:53golden eye last week the game and how they felt like the people got ripped off
- 33:00with this port of golden eye for some [ __ ] reason there was a big fuss
- 33:04about it and someone was saying oh piracy is important because you know
- 33:08without piracy we would be able to send a message to them that they need to to
- 33:12do better you know there and I was like no no no no no the the the way you're
- 33:17supposed to do it is you don't buy it but you also don't get to play it yeah
- 33:21that's right like what what is where is why are you sneaking piracy in here like
- 33:26if if you go to the store and you go oh Nestle they're [ __ ] [ __ ] yeah
- 33:30I'll just steal this chocolate bar yeah yeah like you don't also pay for it yeah
- 33:37because because [ __ ] [ __ ] Lamborghini they they're too expensive and I don't
- 33:40want to pay that much for it so I'm just going to take it yeah until they learn a
- 33:43lesson Wait no that's not how it works and I know I think it's not the same cuz
- 33:48you don't take it and it's gone and like when PIR used to be the biggest in
- 33:53Australia was when there was actually no other option
- 33:58you couldn't watch it unless you PIR was
- 34:03abely at all they but that was theuth of it but you were supposed to still not
- 34:09watch it but uh but the truth of it was that you you couldn't watch it yeah yeah
- 34:16and then the second that cuz Australia was like the biggest pacy country in the
- 34:20world right and then they brought in Netflix and all these other and then par
- 34:24just dropped and you don't see it in the news anymore because you gave us the
- 34:27options but now I think people are going I now deserve it no matter what even
- 34:32though there are options if I'm if if someone's trying to sell something and
- 34:36you go no that's more than I want to pay for it but I'm going to have it anyway
- 34:40that's not how it works yeah no no and it's good that I can take it cuz that'll
- 34:45teach him yeah wait what what will it teach him they're going to have to put
- 34:49all their prices up because too many people are pirating yeah the best way to
- 34:53actually teach them is to not buy it and don't take it and
- 35:00yeah yeah yeah it was a weird I was like what are you talking
- 35:05about and because when you look at and a scary number of people were like yeah
- 35:08absolutely that's correct like no it's not correct and there are like a lot of
- 35:12different options I think like in other countries now you can actually get
- 35:15Netflix with ads yeah yeah you I think now seven bucks a month or something not
- 35:2125 Netflix scale their pricing depending on what country you're in so if you're
- 35:25in a third world country you can still get Netflix but it just costs you a few
- 35:28bucks because that's the equivalent of the 25 bucks we
- 35:32pay oh and just to I don't care if your pirate stuff let's be clear about that
- 35:37and I made that clear on Twitter as well I don't give a [ __ ] what you do just
- 35:40don't try and pretend you're Robin Hood yes exactly don't pretend that that's
- 35:44why you're pirating it you're pirating it because I'm I'm pirate because I'm a
- 35:48good person and I want to teach these corporations lesson no come on mate
- 35:52that's not why that was if you really were a good like you're trying to do the
- 35:57ultimate good you just wouldn't watch the [ __ ] show or play the game or
- 36:00whatever the only time I ever look at going to India now is when I go I want
- 36:04to watch this and I look at everything and I canot find it yeah yeah like
- 36:11anywhere and there was something I did that this we sometimes I just get it cuz I can't be
- 36:17bothered cuz it's just easier like I'm not going to lie I do it too but I don't
- 36:21pretend that I'm like I'm I'm just doing this because to Pirate Bay and
- 36:26downloaded something that is on Netflix because when I'm watching it Netflix
- 36:31does that thing where it auto adjusts the resolution depend depending on your
- 36:37bandwidth and I'm like no [ __ ] this I'd rather just pause it and buffer or I'll
- 36:42just download it and watch it in vfl you've got good internet now though now
- 36:47it's not a problem yeah now you got 5% of premise y now we're all like Matt I
- 36:53heard a podcast the other day talking about how in Australia internet's
- 36:57cheaper and I was like you've not been to Australia it isn't no it isn't
- 37:00certainly not to to the us cuz they were talking about um someone I think someone
- 37:04had said to them they complain about things in America I think healthcare and
- 37:06stuff and people were like on Twitter were telling them why don't you move to
- 37:09another country then and like cuz that's not how it works or we could just fight
- 37:13for better healthare but sure yeah right yeah because you can't just move to
- 37:17another country when you feel like it like not because you can't afford a doctor in your
- 37:22country yeah but then they were talking about yeah Australia came up yeah I'm
- 37:27paying $150 a month one of the things they said was oh your internet's cheaper
- 37:31there and I was like [ __ ] no it's not no you want cheap internet go to
- 37:33Singapore you get gigabit for $40 yeah or Japan I think too very cheap
- 37:39but it's easier to set the infrastructure up in like smaller
- 37:42countries and yeah whereas Australia is terrible to setting it up cuz everything
- 37:48G between everything yeah exactly before we get off between once it I watched
- 37:53something on Netflix this week Matt I mentioned this to you yesterday
- 37:58um I watched All Quiet on the Western Front um I'm calling this as movie of
- 38:02the year for me and it's going to take really good January Dan February I know
- 38:08wow this has this is
- 38:12anol epic right War epic um amazing
- 38:18cinematography amazing performances amazing music the music is next yeah I
- 38:22had a listener todaying that's good [ __ ] good is excellent it's excellent it is
- 38:28in German language so you will have to read if you want to watch it Luke but um
- 38:33it's uh hey one of my favorite movies is German which one's that well like the
- 38:38British army speaking in German is it girls on top oh girls on top yeah
- 38:45classic um there's no English actually the dubbed version of that there's
- 38:49barely even any french but there are French they're the enemies and it is
- 38:53funny because this is obviously there's no politics whatsoever in this movie
- 38:57this is just about how how much it sucks
- 39:01to and um it follows this group of
- 39:06really idealistic young German guys who sign up in the last year of the war and
- 39:12um this the first world war and then
- 39:16really really regret it right and um sure but the way many must have all all
- 39:23of them must have right but the uh the the fact that it just follows these guys
- 39:29and it it they I mean they mention Germany and and and stuff like that it's
- 39:33it doesn't doesn't pretend they don't but because that's who you follow when
- 39:38you know they they're in the the uh trenches and they hear a tank coming or
- 39:44something you're like oh [ __ ] get out get away from that tank get away from
- 39:47them and then you're like that's us we're in those tanks grandads you know
- 39:52what I mean like but it's it it really does it is very very good at all as all
- 39:57the best anti-war all the best war movies are anti-war movies and this this
- 40:01one's very good for for doing that but without being all in your face about it
- 40:05like how do you think you would have felt you know it's just it's not like
- 40:08that it's just a good it's just a very good movie oh how much Che that it's two
- 40:13and a half hours oh he says on Netflix [ __ ] that I'll download it yeah yeah
- 40:17teach them a lesson trying to make money yeah we've got uh I guess this is
- 40:23follow-up of A Sort we've got some DC news this week yeah they've announced
- 40:28what they're doing they have what are they doing cuz I saw that was announced
- 40:32but I didn't actually care enough to open the article quite a lot of stuff um
- 40:38we've got these are the I think the what 10 things James gun said he's doing let
- 40:42me get the list is at the I do have to ask are they rebooting and starting from
- 40:46scratch or are they yes there's going to be another the
- 40:52Batman and another The Joker yeah so they're not closing the book on that
- 40:57though but other than that this stuff is all new well no actually that's not
- 41:03because DCU there's a thing called Creature Commandos which is an animated
- 41:08show that is written by James gun already in production includes
- 41:13characters that we know from The Suicide Squad already voiced by the actors from
- 41:18The Suicide Squad and all the other voice actors in it will be actors who
- 41:21can then play those characters in live action stuff later okay so I guess it's
- 41:26a big budget thing so there's that uh there's Waller which is the continuation
- 41:32of Peacemaker I guess mhm or a spin-off of Peacemaker it's Violet Davis's
- 41:38character oh sure so I guess they're continuing that yep mhm Superman Legacy
- 41:43that's James gun's Superman movie and that's with the new replacement now he
- 41:47has one chance to get this right and I hope he Nails it because I do want to
- 41:52see a good Superman movie and I believe he can do it and I I really hope he
- 41:57Nails it yeah same so they're doing lanterns a Green
- 42:03Lantern thing M uh with h Jordan and John Stewart so oh described as in the
- 42:10vein of True Detective so okay with
- 42:12green lanon [ __ ] me I'm in y sounds good
- 42:18he probably just means multiple timelines I'm not sure he means like
- 42:22there's going to be prostitutes ritualistically murdered with this love
- 42:27crafty and thing in the back that's right yeah King in Yellow
- 42:33um he he wants it badly yeah that would be
- 42:37funny uh the authority some DC redeem deadpol one redeem green Le yeah
- 42:43Paradise Lost which is uh Game of Thrones meets Wonder Woman it's the
- 42:48story of Wonder Woman mcara the mcara what's that is Wonder Woman in
- 42:55it I don't think so it's about the origin of the place she and she gets
- 42:59born later I don't know maybe oh sure I see yep uh the Brave and the Bold which
- 43:03will be the introduction of the the new Batman that will be in the DCU right
- 43:09with with Robin who in this case Robin will be Damien Wayne Bruce Way's son MH
- 43:14yeah yeah so not the Robert Patterson
- 43:18one no so I guess even if that that'll be different no it might continue and
- 43:24just not be part of the thing yeah yeah I think they yeah jok they have to I
- 43:29think they did well but they have to be separate cuz it doesn't work I'd like to
- 43:34watch Braven Bal I think that could be good I think Robins never been done well
- 43:38on screen I think he works very well in the comics excuse me m Christopher Don Christopher
- 43:45odonnal Christ he's Christopher all right he's grown up is that is not it's
- 43:50not his name no I'm talking about the original 60s Batman you tell me Robin
- 43:55wasn't done well there yeah the fact that they had to add a
- 44:01female character living into that house because it just came across two
- 44:06gay look I I'm going to be honest there's nothing that's jumping out as
- 44:10anything that's uh Booster Gold which should be fun uh about a guy from the
- 44:16future who uses Tech travels back in time and uses future technology to
- 44:20pretend he's a superhero in the present day that's PR cool yeah um a Supergirl
- 44:25movie that's apparently super dark hardcore all right okay I mean that is
- 44:29what they said about the first Supergirl movie where they really went in a
- 44:33different direction to the Superman movies it was attached there well this
- 44:37says here even where is it um the story of Cara Zoel who had a more disturbing
- 44:43and darker origin story than Superman before she finally made more disturbing
- 44:47than whole family and Planet murdered I guess so I guess I don't know the
- 44:53backstory ofor and the last one is Swamp Thing SW
- 45:00that's it which they've also has come out is well at this point being directed
- 45:05by James Mangold okay so yeah all right then yeah honestly Swamp Thing is the
- 45:11only thing that I'm sort of interested in I mean it sounds good it's just a bit
- 45:16late considering everyone's Marvel's anyone watching all the new Marvel
- 45:21movies or have we just done I'm not mate [ __ ] hell hey there are too many of
- 45:25them now and uh B the series are better than the films and they're just
- 45:30spreading it too thin now you know shehulk no thanks they're just trying to
- 45:35trying to broaden the audience and they're just losing the the cordance
- 45:38that there like I'm I'm after eternals uh you know I watch did Luke I
- 45:44assume you watched wakanda forever I didn't mind it I but I was confused
- 45:48going in because for some reason in my head I thought he was coming back to do wakanda
- 45:54forever I think they were hoping he would they wanted you to be a bit confused
- 45:59something got in the way I can't my head thought seeds I mean he did his best but
- 46:06well there there is a reviewer that I know who kind of Fanboys the Marvel
- 46:11things and and and always kind of gives them five stars who watched that
- 46:15recently gave it two stars and said I guess Chadwick Bosman was what was good about this
- 46:20series really so I wasn't going to watch it now I probably won't ever the next
- 46:27one that come out is Ant-Man that comes out very I have no interest in anman
- 46:31ant-man's a great side character second Ant-Man movie was better than the first
- 46:35I thought but I've got no interest in watching anymore I don't know for some
- 46:38reason when he's in like like the other Avengers movies like um what was it yeah
- 46:43he's he's good com America verus like that was he was a great in there like he
- 46:48but as a lead I don't think his characters got it so I'm not looking
- 46:51forward to that but Guardians is the next one after that oh that would be
- 46:55good yeah third Guardians third and final must be yes well third and
- 47:02final and then no more dra see what the others do yeah because
- 47:07he wants to do more serious movies like The M Night shamalan movie he's doing
- 47:11now yeah which is apparently garbage of course it is did you watch that one
- 47:15where the beach major get
- 47:17old F about that it was awful it was
- 47:22awful there's some controversy this week with the DC stuff
- 47:27because Zachary Levi who plays Shazam they got that new shazam movie just
- 47:32about to come out uh so the other day he
- 47:36um he retweeted somebody asked him about fiser and he basically said fiser is
- 47:41like a threat to humanity or something like that and then I think the DC PR
- 47:46department went into panic mode cuz people were like the [ __ ] is this [ __ ]
- 47:52I'm surprised there was another Shazam I thought that movie was pretty ordinary I
- 47:57didn't I didn't watch the first one and I watched it because I thought it I mean
- 48:01and it look it does it is Canon it does it does Link in to the others M well
- 48:06people were saying I I don't know about people were
- 48:10saying well and apparently Black Adam is
- 48:15shazam's bad guy right right in the comics which I I didn't know that I just
- 48:20someone was talking about that online and cuz people were
- 48:23complaining people were saying oh why aren't these movies connected and then
- 48:26people were saying oh you say things don't have to all be connected like Star
- 48:29Wars but then you want this connected and it's like no no no it's literally
- 48:32the same [ __ ] story like so but anyway James gun got asked
- 48:38about the Tweet uh because it was like the next day they announced all this
- 48:42stuff and his answer which I thought was great was we can't just change our plans
- 48:47based on some tweet some actor makes he go and I don't believe you know I don't
- 48:51I don't believe the same things all these actors believe he's entitled to
- 48:54his opinion but you know and I think he's the first to sort of say that cuz
- 48:58he got fired from his Tweets in the past he also seems to be doing that with the
- 49:02flash because he came out this week and said how long Ezra Miller stays as the
- 49:07flash will depend on how Ezra Miller recovers from his problems yeah
- 49:14his or her I mean seemed pretty reasonable well they have really shut
- 49:19them down now like he's not in the papers he's not out there and about I
- 49:24think he's getting the help that they need yeah MH so anyway guess Jam still coming
- 49:31out yeah well shaz's not going to be Canon
- 49:37with Fair he said I don't believe he said I don't I don't you know I'm not
- 49:42agree with all the politics of all the actors that I work with they don't all
- 49:45agree with the my politics and we're on our own opinion just because he tweets
- 49:48something doesn't mean you know used to work for sure I mean you know up until
- 49:5310 years ago and I mean that tweet I mean I know
- 50:00it upset a lot of people but I mean it's just his opinion obviously he's antia
- 50:04are we are we still in Co it doesn't feel like it here like I know and it's
- 50:09like oh I didn't know who was that sort of side of it he's an idiot then yeah I
- 50:13didn't know he I don't know howse I don't know how else to take the Tweet to
- 50:17be honest I don't know how else to take it but I assume that's what he he was
- 50:20going I thought he was maybe going that man more that like well they're sort of
- 50:24money hungry with some of the stuff that they he was I don't know he didn't
- 50:28clarify so so like some of those drugs that could cost nothing to make now that
- 50:34they make like a th% on and well if that's what he meant he should have just
- 50:38clarified I don't think that's what he meant so no I don't think so either
- 50:43either that or the pr called him immediately and said shut the [ __ ] up
- 50:47got a movie coming out next week and [ __ ] driving it to the ground like
- 50:52obviously this is not part of James gun's forecast going forward this is his
- 50:56last chance so he's lucky they finished filming this before James gun came on
- 51:01board or this movie would a lot of other stuff they can girl and they've even
- 51:06finished it yeah well there's there's a thing about that too this week because
- 51:11at the time they said you know it was a financial decision and all this kind of
- 51:15stuff but um uh James G what's the other guy there's the two of them that are
- 51:19kind of in charge now I forget his name the other guy said this
- 51:22week in an interview James knife said um back girl was unreleasable which has apparently
- 51:29ruffled some feathers cuz they asked the the directors of it about it and they
- 51:33said well I mean they told us there was absolutely nothing wrong with it except
- 51:36they just made a financial decision not to release it yeah financial decision
- 51:40because it was garbage by the sounds like if it was a good movie we'd be
- 51:44seeing it trust me and you were satisfied with that answer were you cuz
- 51:48I don't say like even it was an average movie he would release it it would make
- 51:52money still I love this so it's Peter saffran and his quote is I saw the movie
- 51:58there was a lot of incredibly talented people in front and behind that camera
- 52:02but the film was not releasable it happened sometimes the film was not
- 52:08releasable right which is not the same as oh we just didn't have the money or
- 52:12whatever it's sounds like the film was [ __ ] yeah yeah cuz yeah it doesn't make
- 52:17sense to be just a purely Financial like Al tax purpose that we canel like if the
- 52:20movie movie was going to make money like the movie would make money even if it
- 52:25was terrible and I feel like if you know it's just it's so vague it could even be
- 52:30something like the studio meddled and then it ended up as a mess like that
- 52:34happen to anyone's fault yeah yeah cuz I don't think this was a very I don't
- 52:40think the budget on this was insane like I think this was sort of a
- 52:44lower budget four sort of a superhero movie and with the publicity that got
- 52:51with it being cancelled and all this if they were to release it they wouldn't be
- 52:55losing money but I think they' be losing reputation from the well they didn't
- 52:58want to spend the money on Advertising it I think was where the the finance
- 53:03comes in cuz they spend as much on marketing as they do on the film and so
- 53:08that's you got spend twice as much money and you look at and you go but when
- 53:13consider some of the [ __ ] house [ __ ] superhero movies especially from DC that
- 53:20they've pulled out and expected us to go and see how bad must this must have been
- 53:25awful look they could actually use the advertising from just where canceling it
- 53:30is not going ahead that's their advertising yeah it must have and now
- 53:35they turn around and go hey if you really want to see it let us know we put
- 53:39on do advertis for it very cheaply now to build up that bit of hype for you
- 53:44really want it here it is and they' get their money without having to spend twice the
- 53:51budget speaking of money speaking of money and we don't have to talk about
- 53:54this for too long I'll just intervene and just say um The Queen Is Dead so
- 53:57they've got to replace the $5 note in Australia um and everyone thought okay
- 54:03so we're going to get a note with Charles on it no they're not going to do
- 54:06that they've come out this week and said they're going to put another aborigin on
- 54:10it is that oh is that what the sentence on here mean hang on I'm going to
- 54:13refresh this s the top that I was like what does that mean line 16 in the
- 54:17spreadsheet I was like no King
- 54:22on [ __ ] I Ted it quickly with one hand while I remember that it was coming
- 54:29in do we know who at this stage or um no I don't think they know they just said
- 54:35someone who reflects their indigenous past yeah oh cool okay I mean that makes
- 54:40way more sense way more sense yeah cuz if you look at what the the Charles as
- 54:45King has done for Australia really as king it's given any time L you haven't given
- 54:51him time hasn't had his coronation yet like he
- 54:54hasn't give him a chance no day one what have you done for us
- 55:00yeah yeah uh a funny thing that I I saw this on on Twitter actually and then I
- 55:06was like the [ __ ] going on there uh Anya Taylor Joy's Twitter account got
- 55:10hacked oh and uh announced um Queen's Gambit season 2 and she's had to come
- 55:17out and say that wasn't me my ha got hacked but what I saw on there and I
- 55:21don't think this is in the article uh she was trying to sell people MacBooks
- 55:26right so I scrolling through Twitter and it's Anya Taylor Joy with this post
- 55:31saying I've got 10 MacBooks I'll sign them just Veno me $1,000 and I'll send
- 55:37you one and I was like Matt consider so I was like what
- 55:42he's like I like MacBooks and I like Anya Taylor it caught my eye enough that I
- 55:49clicked and I was like [ __ ] that sounds like a scam why is on your da of Joy
- 55:53trying to scam people which is sort of weird what like you assumed she was scamming
- 55:59you not that someone was scamming her straight to bitcoin or anything is this
- 56:05real what and why does she have 10 m I was like this so I have so many
- 56:09questions and I click through I'm like oh she's just I love it that's where it
- 56:12falls aart for Matt he's like why would on your Taylor Joy have 10
- 56:18MacBooks 10 MacBooks not even on her
- 56:22celery we had to have a um uh a
- 56:26debriefing from the CEO recently where she was saying any emails you got from me asking
- 56:33you to get me Xbox gift cards uh I will never ask you for gift
- 56:39cards yeah weed to get so many people are falling for that scam we get I
- 56:45probably have I told you this before maybe I don't know I should tell the
- 56:48story I get one thing that I think is odd and I understand why but just to me
- 56:52it seems odd is that we at work get emails from the it department where they
- 56:57will forward spam emails and say this is a spam email if you get one like this
- 57:02don't click on it I want to reply and say don't forward him to me yeah
- 57:07like yeah like I wasn't now I to link
- 57:12remove the L The Click yeah like no I know I know they're just trying to call
- 57:17attention to it it's just funny cuz I I guess I've yeah I've never gotten them
- 57:21except from them where they forward them to me and say this is Spam is all right
- 57:25same no one has asked me no I've never gotten an email from my CEO asking me to
- 57:29get her a gift card like and if I did I'd know that that was email me saying I
- 57:35don't want gift cards stop buying me gift cards I got uh I got that uh that
- 57:40parents scam where you get a a text saying Hey Dad hi M lost my phone yeah
- 57:45can you wire me some money and I wrote back I wrote back does this ever work
- 57:51and I got no reply it does unfortunately that's why
- 57:56they yeah must must work that the problem well they it's a big
- 58:03business but it only has to work once or twice if you're asking for enough money
- 58:07and I remember do you guys remember that um uh Twilight Zone episode where the
- 58:12guy gets ranged by a psychic and he says I'm a psychic and I'll give you the
- 58:16lotto numbers this week um so buy yourself a lottery ticket I'm not going
- 58:21to ask for anything and so he buys a lottery ticket and it's correct the
- 58:24numbers he G me are right so the next week he's like I'll give him to you
- 58:27again I don't want anything in return just and he does it and it's right again
- 58:31he does it heaps of times this guy's getting really rich and the guy's like
- 58:34okay I'm going to do it again and this time it's for the jackpot and if you win
- 58:38it now you give me all the money right and you keep everything you've made up
- 58:42until now and he does it and he wins and he's like this guy must be real and it
- 58:45turns out the twist is this guy has written thousands of letters with
- 58:50different numbers in each one and this has just been the only instance where
- 58:54it's always worked because probability says it will work at
- 59:00least once and all send out all the numers yeah yeah all the possible
- 59:06numbers the um the the scam thing leads to something else that happened this
- 59:11week which is Twitter is blocking access to the API unless you pay right they're
- 59:17scamming themselves they're basically going to shut
- 59:19down I don't understand this at all Yeah so basically the only way you'll be able
- 59:24to use Twitter is with the app um which just it's just so odd but the the reason
- 59:31they're giving for it is to cut off spam cuz spam Bots use the API to post all
- 59:36the stuff and that kind of thing and it just made me laugh cuz everyone's saying
- 59:41like you don't think the scammers will just pay for API access like do you know
- 59:45how much money they put into this [ __ ] you think charging them five bucks a
- 59:49month the API access is going to stop them so I yeah I just don't understand
- 59:55what they you think this is going to do other than drive people away from
- 59:59Twitter as they have been doing for the last couple of months well I mean they
- 1:00:03certainly very G problem is it's not them getting rid of users it's they're
- 1:00:08getting rid of people who want to advertise on it yeah problem which is
- 1:00:13the whole problem is you weren't making money just preventing people from using
- 1:00:17it in the way people want to use it weird but I don't know how does but what
- 1:00:22happens if they do fail as a business Twitter won't
- 1:00:26been' been bragging they' been shutting down servers and they didn't need all
- 1:00:30these servers and but now like a lot of people are complaining that if you go in
- 1:00:35to Twitter on your desktop and look at your mentions or your activity it's
- 1:00:41different to what you see on your mobile and they never it never evens out right so
- 1:00:47basically the the for example hosts of uh more successful podcasts than ours
- 1:00:53get a lot of tweets at them right but they don't get all the tweets anymore
- 1:00:58and so basically they've said we can't use Twitter anymore for what we used to
- 1:01:02use it for which is soliciting questions and feedback on the show because people
- 1:01:06tweet at us just doesn't tell us anymore we not getting it all like you literally
- 1:01:10just don't see it all so I thought it might have when when you first saying
- 1:01:15that I thought it might have been like a sort of a thing like they s of going off
- 1:01:18what people use their phones for and they've done research but that just
- 1:01:21sounds like no that's broken I think I think they've just shut down some
- 1:01:25service that that makes sure it works like yeah well there probably women working
- 1:01:32in that department and so now there's just no stuff cuz they fired all the
- 1:01:36women yeah and then people were laughing too because there was that thing about I
- 1:01:41don't know the specifics but some some there's some conspiracy theory
- 1:01:45about the the Twitter experience changed in some way if your account was private
- 1:01:50so Elon Musk made his account private to test this Theory and people were like
- 1:01:56just someone that works there that knows how the [ __ ] thing works like why do
- 1:01:59you have to do that yeah have to do that yeah yeah like you
- 1:02:05fight everyone who knows how to use it anyway well I think that no I think
- 1:02:11that's more so on him just even if someone was to tell him he wouldn't
- 1:02:15trust them cuz he do trust the people he's got working for them so sounds like
- 1:02:20a good way to run a business it's just don't trust your employees yep Matt well
- 1:02:26why would he trust him they spend billions of dollars did you buy the
- 1:02:31flamethrower why do I think you did no no I no I was I considered it I was very
- 1:02:37close to from the boring company I considered buying a boring company hat I
- 1:02:41thought that was quite funny that tickled me when they came out with and I
- 1:02:44thought okay I might buy a hat but uh I'm glad I didn't because he's a [ __ ]
- 1:02:48idiot they're saying it's a scam I mean I don't I don't understand
- 1:02:54the ins and outs of that now but they're saying the boring companies a scam which
- 1:02:57again I'm not I'm not saying that don't sue me that's just things people are
- 1:03:01saying online it's like I mean I haven't heard of them doing anything of use may
- 1:03:06but that was never the they were never doing anything of use anyway cuz well
- 1:03:09they were going to build the tunnels but then now they're not building the from
- 1:03:12under his house to downtown yeah exactly and what they're
- 1:03:16saying is that that yeah they built started building some of the tunnels so
- 1:03:20the the local governments shut down programs to expand public transport and
- 1:03:25then now now they've just stopped building the tunnels as well and so he
- 1:03:28basically just stopped you know these expansions that he didn't want from La
- 1:03:32doesn't have good public transport at the best of times no the tram out to
- 1:03:38Monica was a surprise I was like oh there's one of those okay you can get
- 1:03:43from downtown out there on a tram okay I'm surprised to be honest That's how
- 1:03:49little I think of your infrastructure yeah yeah I thought there was just that
