0:13
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple
0:20
nerdgasm your guide to All Things
0:25
[Applause] nerdy I think Matt has been on the most
0:30
podcast I think he's only missed one or two mhm that makes sense he might miss
0:35
more now second he might miss a few more now I'd be very surprised if he's back
0:39
next week as well and that's because one of us is now a father yep Luke and I get
0:45
our wives to call us daddy anyway um but that's just a little something that we
0:49
enjoy um Matt is a daddy now is a daddy yeah he's a daddy so congratulations to
0:56
Matt now we're getting updates through the birth mhm and I just I don't know
1:01
for some reason I have a feeling this has sort of opened your eyes up a little
1:04
bit more about what you're going to be going through yeah I've got about 4
1:08
months to go uh before my baby is born and um I'm starting to get Next Level
1:14
terrified yeah cuz I think you got a shock about how long it could take yeah
1:19
when he told us that Jenna was having contractions I started messaging every
1:23
10 15 minutes asking if the baby had been born yet yeah it doesn't work that
1:27
way no because a full 24 hours later the
1:30
baby was born um and that shocked me I'm going to I'm going to have to
1:37
bring a long book when I take qu to the hospital yeah but if she's awake all
1:44
attention will have to be on her you can't just be un breeding I'll bring a book for her
1:50
too I think it's going to be a little bit of a shock for you I think it's
1:54
going to be a lot of a shock and that'll just be the first day of shocks in what
1:58
will surely be at least 18 years of shocks and I'll
2:02
will get up come to me for all your baby advice I will I come to you for all my
2:06
advice regardless doesn't have a child and yet has every child somehow no
2:12
stuff I think it's because I'm just a big child still I brought new Lego this week oh
2:19
what did you buy uh so it's we're coming up on Star
2:24
Wars day is it the heads May the 4th I'm going to get a couple of the heads but I
2:29
actually got out oh nice nice I saw that too that was SP
2:33
to me and I went I need that but those heads also are speak their heads are
2:37
beautiful all them have you seen that liveaction commercial for it where that
2:40
couple build the heads and then rearrange their entire house to so that
2:45
the decor matches the heads it's great I'll send it to you or maybe we'll post
2:49
it on the uh no we probably won't I'll just send it to you yeah oh post I'm
2:54
trying to get better and post stuff on Instagram and Twitter but trying get
3:00
better I uh I've become really obsessed I've not bought Lego in a long time but
3:04
I've been obsessed with looking at Lego in the store right it's just
3:08
fascinatingly fun and um I'm always I'm
3:13
always flabbergasted by just the randomness of some of and especially
3:17
Lego town right Town Lego which is you you it was when I was a kid it was the
3:22
Plain Jane of Lego right fire station police
3:26
station and and now there's random stuff like [ __ ] Bakery and all of that okay
3:32
fine that makes sense there's one plane crash in the
3:37
jungle don't don't understand don't understand what kids are like Mom Mom
3:41
buy me plane crash in the jungle Jung yeah it's a rescue like there's a rescue
3:46
team and there's parts of a plane and trees the thing about that Lego Cities
3:53
one is that's actually one of the cheapest sets to buy mhm cuz it's not
3:57
like when you buy the Star Wars got to pay the license but unfortunately with
4:02
most of the stuff I get it is sort of that higher cost one cuz I I don't know
4:08
just I'm not going to go and buy Lego City and just build a police station
4:12
what you could do though is that you could buy say one Batman Lego set you
4:16
know Wayne Manor and then buy a whole lot of city and just put it around that
4:21
put it around yeah and this is Gotham now so what I'm doing with my Batman one
4:25
at the moment I finished my Batmobile I saw it magnificent
4:30
building the the Batwing which that one can actually be
4:34
hung up on a wall oh wow thing is Big yeah well the Batmobile was much bigger
4:40
than I thought it was going to be yep I don't think I've ever seen a piece of Lego that
4:47
large yeah no Lego I don't know the funny thing about it is the best place
4:52
to buy Lego from now is from
4:55
Lego yeah um like the helmets will just talking about they they're cheaper to
5:02
buy from Lego Store than is to go into like EB Games or Big W by $10 nothing
5:07
huge no but still yeah and the other thing with Lego is you get um VIP points
5:14
oh really yep and they add up to something useful like it's not like a
5:21
hey spend like get a million points and you get like a 5% off vouch or anything
5:25
like that at the moment if I was cashing my points now I get 70 5 off oh wow
5:31
that's de I'm trying to save up to $150 which is the top tier mhm I still have
5:37
to spend a lot of money it's like yeah but you would anyway yeah like R2-D2 was
5:42
300 something okay not too bad have you started him yet no it hasn't arrived I
5:47
only just ordered it is he going to have the third foot or not I don't know M
5:54
interesting he's going to have the little yes he is going to have the third
5:57
foot he's all going to so got to have a little compartment for Luke's lightsaber
6:02
oh fabulous you know what else is interesting I never had this as a kid
6:07
did you ever have any
6:11
Playmobile no neither did I but I see it in the stores now especially since you
6:16
know I've got a child on the way and I'm looking for well I'm just hanging out in
6:20
more toy stores than I did before Playmobile I hang out in the same amount
6:25
yeah Playmobile is not as good as Lego arguably is not nearly as good but they
6:30
are starting to get licensed sets as well and their licensed sets are pretty
6:36
good they've got back to the future so you can get the DeLorean W right um
6:42
they've got Ghostbusters so you can get the Ecto one and the full set of the
6:47
Ghostbusters cuz that's on Lego yep I know whoring their brands they really
6:54
just going anyone want to anyone want to make something just go for it's free
6:57
advertising for us you get the Ecto one and you can get the full fire station
7:02
playet pretty awesome but these aren't things you build these are just toys
7:07
that's right yeah yeah they're just kind of fun cartoon looking versions of
7:11
things oh my God you can get the Clock Tower from Back to the
7:16
Future well if you're going to do it you might as well get a lot but what kids
7:21
are going I want to play Back to the Future yeah maybe it's not meant for
7:26
kids let's be honest oh maybe but just so seems yeah it just seems what adults
7:32
are going I want to play Back to the Future and look if you're into
7:35
historical stuff there's much better historical Playmobile sets than Lego but
7:39
I've never heard a kid go [ __ ] Lego I want Playmobile but that said you can
7:44
get Pirates Vikings you can get oh Alpine Lodge I wonder if that looks like
7:49
Matt's Alpine Lodge see the good thing about this is cuz the pieces are big you
7:53
could probably give them to it a little bit earlier oh that's true that's true
7:58
cuz you got to remember choking hazards my whole house is a choking
8:03
hazard babies and toddlers are stupid M and everything in my house has a really
8:08
sharp corner on it I've only just noticed mhm you need to bring me over let me

10:20

10:23
to be the same yeah Pax will Pax there's no real you don't not for photos it's
10:30
not for like me no but no one's going to be there except for me and
10:36
you look before um when we were talking
10:39
about Lego we mentioned Wayne Manor very quickly and Batman and we have some
10:45
Batman Wayne Mana news this week I don't know if you saw this last week we
10:50
discussed that Michael Keaton has been confirmed to be in the new Flash movie
10:57
and uh I think was you that pointed out that it could be a parallel universe
11:01
where the flash visits the other Batman in the other timeline and I think that
11:06
is now all but confirmed because set photos have surfaced of the original
11:12
1989 Wayne Manor see what I think is going to happen is this is going to be
11:17
how they can reset a little bit so you don't have to do a full reset yes but by
11:22
doing this you can now bring in another Batman it's a pivot a slight pivot cuz
11:28
Ben he's out he's out yeah so this is a way you can replace but then with the stuff
11:34
that doing well like Wonder Woman you don't have to replace her yeah and it
11:40
also explains why there can be a one-off Batman movie that has nothing to do with
11:44
the continuity of the other movies I I don't think that explains there's a
11:48
Multiverse no that's just money that's nothing to do well it's all just seeing
11:53
what makes money cuz [ __ ] warn Brothers have no idea so they just try
11:57
things and see but the problem is this they're still making money it's not like
12:01
oh yeah yeah yeah all the stuff that's bombed and got bad reviews still made a
12:05
fortune for them yeah you're right I wonder if you actually stack the profit
12:10
and loss statements from DC next to the Marvel ones where the Marvel come out
12:14
that much on top cuz you're right everyone still goes and sees them they
12:17
just don't like it yeah like I don't think that people go back and see it as
12:21
many times but I think that's the only difference they're still doing well
12:26
which is why I think they're having a hard time trying to find what works
12:30
because people still gave us a billion dollars for this so yeah true true yeah
12:35
all they need to do is go okay well maybe we'll do it slightly different
12:37
next time try to make it slightly more like Marvel or a funny one does well so they
12:42
do another funny one and that doesn't do well they do another serious one look I
12:45
think the problem they had is is they wanted to rush to Justice League mm they
12:49
didn't set it up like Marvel did yeah yeah you're take your time have a few
12:55
movies start to introduce a little bit at the end of a movie and then go out
13:00
but then also at the end day we just don't like DC no well that's true too we
13:04
could if they made good M I like Batman I don't like Superman man I think
13:09
someone could do a good Superman they could it's potential I get I get why you
13:14
don't like him because he's just a Mery Sue and he can just do everything but
13:18
imagine that was part of the story imagine they found a way to make that
13:22
weakness a strength I think it could be great and I think they almost went in
13:27
that direction with the Superman as a god type of theme uh in the the Snider
13:32
trilogy but they never committed to it and it it didn't work look I think I
13:37
know what to do you just have have an enemy MH that's made of
13:42
kryptonite so Superman will go from I could do everything to I just can't yeah
13:47
I have to just sit this one out guys that actually that's not as crazy as it
13:52
sounds no it's not it's another idea and of course at the end he'll have to
13:58
figure out a way he'll have to make a suit out of something that's stronger
14:02
than Kryptonite you know I'm sure this has been done there must be a silver age
14:06
comic that has this has to be yeah do that and then I might watch
14:11
it because he's in that Almighty thing that can do whatever he feels like yeah
14:15
if if something's going wrong and this isn't working then he just magically has
14:19
another power that works for that yeah yeah that's actually a good idea maybe I
14:23
should do the next D you should write that if you were going to if you were
14:26
going to produce that would you have it Star TV actor and film connoisseur Henry
14:33
K or would you recast uh well yeah I'd have to recast
14:37
cuz as we've discussed he he's not movie
14:40
Material he not man yeah well who who who out of the working actors we know
14:47
not that we know personally um but who who would you cast in it if you had to
14:51
cast and you weren't going to go on unknown this is the thing I'd go with
14:54
unknowns yeah I think so but people have always kind of done that with Superman
14:59
no one knew Brendan Ralph yeah but no I don't know I'd have to really sit down
15:04
interview a few people yeah that's fair maybe I do
15:09
myself I would watch that I would definitely watch that um
15:16
don't change anything just put on the suit you know yeah keep the beard the
15:20
hair everything the piercings I don't wear glasses though yeah that's true
15:26
that's true well neither does he they're fake that's the whole
15:30
point it's but but really come on the glasses mean that people can't recognize
15:35
you no no no no photographers who that's what they do for a living and work next
15:40
to you the glasses aren't the disguise he just wears glasses cuz Clark Kent
15:44
wears glasses as part of his Ensemble he actually has one of his powers is a
15:50
shimmer that make people not regally has a power that just makes it everything
15:55
fall into place for him yeah he's a Superman he's very super
16:01
these days I mean he wasn't originally he was just a very strong man who could
16:05
jump very high yeah he could never fly originally and he could deflect bullets
16:10
if they hit him on the S which was reinforced um he was faster faster than
16:16
speeding bullet oh yeah yeah bullet more powerful than a old timey train train
16:21
but definitely not a modern train that that'll just take him out yeah
16:26
yeah can high buildings yeah yeah he just jumped he was the Hulk
16:32
I would love to see a Superman movie where he had limited powers like that
16:38
yeah go back to yeah go back to the roots that would be great that would be
16:43
great if they did that i' yeah it's sort of weird like cuz Wonder Woman can fly
16:47
now but they the problem is yeah yeah that's right the problem is they made so
16:52
many comics from the 30s to the 9s they
16:56
just had to just pull more story lines out of their ass yeah that's why they do
17:02
get ridiculous and that's why they do reset every now and again because they
17:05
go we've screwed this one up yeah we [ __ ] this speaking of ridiculous things
17:10
from DC have you seen what DC put out this week no now I assume that the
17:16
reason for this is that DC want to sorry I say DC Warner Brothers who is the
17:20
distributor of DC okay y want to drum up a little bit of uh hype for some of
17:26
their existing properties you know there's nothing new coming out it's been
17:29
a it's been a tough year they got some old properties they want you to rewatch
17:33
so they just they did some new trailers so a bunch of new trailers came out the
17:37
one that dropped today Jos Sweden's Justice League now is
17:43
not the time to be shining more light onto that one no not only has this been
17:50
superseded by a very famous new version of the same movie that
17:55
everyone universally is agreeing as far best better slightly too long but far
18:00
better but also Jos Weeden is a sex Pest
18:04
and nobody likes him anymore well no he wasn't a sex pest just a regular pist he
18:10
was a bully okay yeah from what we understand mhm true true I think there
18:16
was a little bit of sex pest implied by some of the people there you're right no
18:20
one came out and explicitly said it so yeah I think the one that was the
18:25
closest to it was oh what was a girl who played Dawn
18:31
yeah after this there was a rule he's not allowed in a room alone with me ever
18:35
again and that's as far as that one went yeah I mean read between the lines
18:41
yeah but it's sort of but other on the other side like if something did
18:46
happen that's the stuff that needs to be reported true true so maybe it was just
18:51
that she felt uncomfortable CU he was a prick and not necessarily that he tried
18:54
to touch her in her bathing suit area yep M yeah and we'll never know no cuz
19:01
he still has not come out and spoken since all this started he's just head
19:05
down probably a wise move on his part actually because he wasn't really a
19:12
spotlight kind of guy anyway he was just the guy who was behind the scenes of
19:16
some cool stuff and he could potentially keep doing that if he just keeps his
19:20
head down mhm and is okay with not having his name above the credits yeah
19:25
CU his name used to sell stuff it doesn't sell well selling stuff for
19:29
quite some time now no what else has been happening well I've got an apology
19:35
to make to you you do to you to me uhhuh yeah yeah um what happened because you
19:41
told me weeks ago that the Falcon and the Winter
19:46
Soldier was good was very good mhm and I
19:50
I didn't believe you yep and uh then you as the weeks went on you continued to
19:55
tell me that it was worth watching and I and then Matt said he like it and all of
19:59
a I didn't watch it because I thought if you both had
20:04
watched it then I'm just the suck who hasn't watched it um but you were right
20:09
all along yeah this is excellent yep there's out of all of it there was like
20:15
one episode I didn't like and that was episode three third a little slow yeah
20:20
yeah I don't really I didn't three you can skip that one but the rest are all
20:26
great and I just love how they're talking about what's actually happened yes like yes
20:32
everyone came back and this whole free like free the red hand thing and the
20:36
free to boarders you can sort of understand where they're coming from
20:39
totally get it in fact I found myself questioning would I be on their
20:44
side like they're going about it wrong but what they're trying to do is yeah
20:48
yeah yeah yeah they're terrorist left idealist we we had to get rid of borders
20:53
we all work together why can't we still do that yeah instead of yeah start well
20:59
we're in charge now we got a you're in a refugee camp you can only go here yeah
21:05
yeah but also the logistics of everything we've got to find jobs for
21:09
these people like we spent 5 years Reinventing the infrastructure like it's
21:13
it's it's quite fascinating like and then yeah people come back and go you're
21:17
in my house well no I live here now MH and yeah but this is all real [ __ ] man
21:22
yeah this stuff happened in Cyprus like this stuff happened in um uh Armenia
21:28
that it happens in [ __ ] Palestine mhm yeah
21:33
interesting I I I think um oh what was the the lead character villain's
21:39
name uh the girl with the freckles yeah yeah I don't know her name
21:44
cuz cuz they sort of she was also the
21:48
the bad guy in quotes in Solo as well oh she was too I'm one episode from The End
21:55
by the way I've seen I've seen five so I don't know how this ends yet
21:59
um but it's certainly ramping up you will enjoy it and then we have yeah you
22:05
got a couple months to wait for
22:07
Loki I love the banter between the Falcon and the Winter Soldier between
22:13
Bucky and Sam they're mates so like ruing each other like stop looking at my
22:19
sister yeah yeah yeah yeah [ __ ] yeah just giving each other [ __ ] it's so
22:24
funny it's so funny I really hope this is the way
22:29
that we go forward the movies I don't need the movies if flesh out stories
22:34
more this this is very good yeah I want more of this the credits though they've
22:38
got to do something about the credits oh man it's int ridiculous yeah yeah yeah
22:42
it's intense it's sort of like oh this episode's an hour so I'll settle in and
22:46
then 40 minutes that's the end and he's 20 minutes of credits it's
22:50
like you know what I love you know I realized episode four or five I realized
22:57
um The Genius of the writing the subtlety of the writing right M so Sam
23:03
the Falcon right hanging out with his sister and her kids so he's their Uncle
23:10
yep so they call him Uncle Sam mhm which is foreshadowing him becoming Captain
23:16
America it's just these little Clues it's it's just really good it's really good
23:23
writing it is they've yeah they've just got
23:26
it and even Daniel BR as the I forget his character's name but the the German
23:32
uh Hydra he him and them have great
23:36
banter as well like it's it's really great yeah they know when they have a
23:41
joke and they know when it's serious and the other thing I sort of quite like
23:45
about this and I think this is because it's on television on the movies the
23:49
fight scenes don't go for 20 minutes it's uh we have a quick fight and then
23:54
we're back to Story We they're good fights but they're over in due time yeah
24:00
yeah agree agree yeah you're right about this one I'm always right I don't know
24:06
why you don't listen to me people should just always listen to me so I was
24:10
watching this with wh she didn't like episode 3 and tuned out so I I pushed on
24:15
without it something else we're watching at the moment which you may like I don't
24:18

24:48

25:19
on binge oh maybe it's binge maybe I'm watching Dave is convinced he Des to be
25:25
one of the best rappers of all time but now he must convince his friends because
25:29
with their help he actually might convince the world yeah that's fair that
25:33
makes it sound lame but it's it's lame in a funny way but when I did go to here
25:40
binge popped up and went hey young rock is on here now I need to watch that yeah
25:45
you can watch that first I'm not going to I'm not going to try to talk you out
25:47
of watching young Rock you're not going to get between me and The Rock no but
25:51
just to give you an idea this is of the story lines in one episode Dave gets his
25:55
first ever live gig mhm it's at a child's
26:01
funeral and I'll just remind you this is a comedy this is a dumb comedy
26:07
so okay yeah I'll give it a try it's worth it it's worth watching it's very
26:14
funny I'll be the judge of that but yeah watch Barry I do want to watch Barry and
26:19
the other thing I've got standing by is
26:23
have you seen Ted lasso Ted lasso I everyone's telling me to watch Ted
26:30
lasso what is that it's on Apple TV oh
26:34
okay and it stars uh is it Jason sadus
26:39
sadus y yeah it stars him uh and I think the the premise is he's an American
26:46
football coach and he's hired to go and Coach a bridge soccer team soccer team
26:52
and it's just like a just a silly comedy yeah I might give that a try going
26:57
getting it I going to be getting uh Apple TV very soon okay mainly because
27:03
of Mythic Quest yes so I'm going to get Apple TV I'll pay for a month I'll watch
27:08
apple quest uh Mythic Quest and I'll get rid of it because I don't know if there's much
27:14
more on there I want but to pay for a month to get watch like byy quit that's worth
27:20
it yeah I uh I agree and actually went to the Apple TV site the other day to
27:26
see what else is there because I do also want to watch Mythic Quest mhm um do you
27:32
remember a Harrison Ford movie from the late ' 80s called mosquito Coast about a
27:37
guy who moves his family into the jungle no I don't really remember it either but
27:42
they've remade it as a series and it's on Apple TV so maybe I'll watch that is
27:47
Harrison Ford back no no it's uh Justin theu I
27:54
think yeah I might pass on it h what else just be thinking about
28:00
Harrison Ford too much yeah there's nothing else that
28:06
looks good yeah so I think yeah get it for that that month watch the two shows I
28:11
want and get rid of it yeah yeah which just nothing wrong with you doing that
28:15
people that's don't have to pay monthly subscription or something you're not
28:18
going to watch yeah look as Luke always says if the platform allows you to do it
28:23
it's not cheating mhm now something interesting story this
28:29
week that I saw mhm which I'm going to call [ __ ] on
28:34
okay so it's about Citizen Kane sure
28:39
yeah so for a very long time that's been rated at
28:45
100% positive everyone loved it m
28:49
[ __ ] people are doing that because they think they should yeah it's
28:55
certainly one of those movies where no one wants to say that I like it so that
28:58
other pretentious people don't say well you just don't understand it yeah yeah
29:03
it's true it's true I think within the context Citizen Kane is one of those
29:07
movies and it's not alone I would put movies like Star Wars and the Matrix a
29:11
few other movies up there Citizen Cane changed the way people made films
29:18
and it is very influential
29:22
um but yeah as it for being it's not a perfect movie no I mean there's one
29:27
there's one bit just once in the entire movie where one character is angry at
29:32
Citizen Kane at Charles Foster Kane and then looks into the camera and shakes
29:37
his fists and goes so it's far from perfect but it is
29:42
beautiful it's beautiful and poignant um
29:47
but it's been bumped off Yeah by by Paddington 2 the sequel which is that's
29:53
that's big for a sequel yeah to be better than the first one especially for
29:59
Paddington yeah yeah now I haven't seen the first Paddington actually I watched
30:05
a little bit without sound when I was in a doctor's waiting room once and it
30:08
actually it looked pretty good okay yeah there was a scene where he was in prison
30:12
it looked good actually it looked very Charming um but the fact that the sequel
30:17
to it has bumped Citizen Kane down off its throat is is just funny I find itun
30:22
a movie that I think should have that top spot honestly is sha Shank
30:27
Redemption that's a great movie I can't say a word bad about that movie like I
30:33
remember when I used to watch fruit to a and you sort of if that was on one night
30:36
and he catched the first minute of it well I'm now watching the rest of this
30:39
because it's just a good movie I remember when that was brand new and uh
30:45
my dad and I decided to do a movie night so I I think I was living with him at
30:48
the time I would have been about 17 and uh we hired three movies neither of us
30:54
had seen The Crying Game by Neil Jordan sha Shank Redemption and Pulp Fiction
30:58
and we watched them and they're all three absolute masterpieces but they're
31:02
also all three movies that contain um maleo male sodomy which when you're a
31:09
teenager and you're watching movies with your dad you just don't want sodomy you
31:13
just don't want that awkward feeling all just watch the screen stay focused no
31:20
eye contact we're not going to talk about this we'll get through this
31:24
together yeah my dad probably just hoping that I didn't ask him any questions about about
31:29
it yeah yeah I think I'm going to have to go watch shw Shake Redemption now sh
31:34
Shake's a great it's been a while and Clancy Brown's in it and we seem to talk
31:37
about him every week now we talked about Citizen Kane
31:41
last week because we talked about the fact that M uh which is about the
31:44
co-writer of Citizen Kane mhm who's copied Citizen Kane's set design and
31:50
cinematography won the Academy Awards for set design and cinematography um
31:55
giving it twice as many Academy Awards as Citizen Kane one but there's more
31:59
Oscars news this week there is in the week since the Oscars the TV viewing
32:06
public have become very vocal about the fact that they're very angry with
32:11
something that happened at the Oscars this year and it's nobody's
32:17
fault as you know I'm not a fan of the Oscars so I didn't watch so well what
32:22
are they upset about not many people watched it this is the lowest rating
32:25
Oscars ever um not only were most of the people not even there but even the
32:30
people who were there weren't allowed to be on the stage at the same time as the
32:34
people announcing the awards so they just had to put the award on a table and
32:39
then step away away and then they'd come off yeah awkward as [ __ ] right but the
32:44
producers of the Oscars were so convinced that Chadwick bosan was going
32:49
to poly win best actor that for the first time in the history of the awards
32:55
they rearranged the categories to put best actor last so that that would be
33:00
the finale and then so this buildup and the rearranging and everyone's like well
33:06
it's going to be Chad Wick Boseman and then it wasn't and with Anthony Hopkins
33:10
who's a magnificent actor and deserves you know probably deserved it for the
33:14
performance he gave but it was just such a let down also he wasn't there and he
33:19
hadn't even pre-recorded something so they just had Anthony Hopkins and it's
33:22
just a Ste on the screen while everyone at home was going so it's not Chadwick BOS
33:28
so and that was a big end yep and then just credits WR you see uh you'd think
33:34
that maybe you just have a quick look yeah to see at that point you'd be like
33:40
hey guys we're going to rearrange if you
33:45
wink now yes like like we're going to
33:47
rearrange if tadrick um bosan wins now do you think that's a good idea or not
33:54
yeah yeah we're not asking you to tell us if he wins we're is asking you to
33:58
tell us if it's a good idea for us to very dramatically alter the format of
34:04
the show mhm which would
34:09
only be not disastrous if he does
34:14
win cuz if someone else wins we're going to look stupid and they
34:20
do seriously someone would have had to have known who it was cuz someone's got
34:24
to put it in the envelope someone's got to count up the votes I guess this
34:28
really is proof though that it is quite a secret if it was rigged this is proof
34:35
that it's not rigged not rigged I will just say the Oscars isn't necessarily
34:39
always about who gives a good performance it's about who's paid their
34:44
dues and I feel Chad M Bosman probably has paid his dues this probably did and
34:50
also for him to go through that filming and even at like doing all the promo for
34:54
the movie going through what he was going through is amazing
34:58
but I don't know Oscars just it's what you all think of each other I don't know
35:05
why that's the big award that everyone else has meant to pay attention to
35:09
honestly it rates less and less each year and I don't know if they're going
35:12
to keep this up well it's because the fans aren't included with it like this
35:17
isn't about what the fans like what what they enjoy this is all about actors and
35:22
producers and directors all giving themselves a patter on the back so that
35:25
shouldn't be the big Awards because that's you guys yourselves American and
35:31
international listeners might not know but Australia has its own awards called
35:35
the Lois right which has become a little bit of a joke really but it's still
35:41
pretty sought after if you're in the entertainment business in Australia um
35:45
and the public vote yep and if you win a loie it's because enough people bought
35:51
the TV Week Magazine and filled out the
35:55
survey on the back page and sent it in actually it's probably online now let's
36:00
be honest probably would be it's people actually
36:04
voting this my favorite show yes and I think the categories are called most
36:10
popular actor most popular show so they don't try to cover it up
36:15
with you know any kind of objectivity they just say
36:19
yeah you won cuz most people voted for you yeah we thought you were [ __ ] but
36:25
the public that's right we don't get to vote well we do but we only got to vote
36:29
once once so we've got more nft meme
36:34
things selling we tried to get Matt to explain it to us last week yeah I look I
36:40
don't get this but I also don't really know what blockchain is no and I don't
36:46
know why you would spend money to
36:51
buy pixels no except that the pixels are
36:56
a marker for value which all money is and so I guess saying
37:01
would you pay $100 for this $100 bill is just as silly so where this has come
37:08
from is the disaster girl meme so that one where the house is on fire and a
37:12
girl sort of looking back smoking I do like this meme it's a it's she she's
37:17
good I like this do you think it's worth $650,000 well I tell you Luke I could go
37:23
to Google image search right now in fact I am type in design Master a girl mhm um
37:29
to image yeah go to images and there she is and now I own this um and I got it
37:35
for free so yeah so I just I I don't get what they've purchased because it's
37:41
still there I guess the only thing that you could say is that the person who
37:46
bought this could sell this and I can't
37:50
sell mine but you you you you have one and yes you can do whatever you want
37:56
with it now the positive thing about
37:59
this is that the seller of this NFP NFP
38:04
nft T is the girl in the picture oh okay so she's actually getting money from it
38:10
then yes so she gets the $650,000 she's about 15 and she says
38:16
she's going to use it to go to college and set herself up with a career and I
38:19
think that's great I think he's the next part of the story that makes me even
38:24
more confused so she got the money great but she's still going to retain the
38:28
copyright over it and if they sell that
38:32
nft going forward she gets 10% well you do anyway I I think that's
38:39
how nft works if you are the original artist and I don't know whether to use
38:44
air quotes on that or not I think the way that nfts work is that when you sell
38:49
them on it passes back money to the original owner as well how that's not a
38:53
pyramid scheme I don't know we should sell one of our nfts you know what you
38:58
joke but let's try it yep we have got literally nothing to lose no let's just
39:04
go to one of those big auction sites to go hey can you slip this into your next
39:07
one but other things have gone for more like that the single gray pixel sold for
39:12
more than this yeah maybe we could sell the multiple nerdgasm logo as an
39:18
nft see if anyone will buy that and then just see if they sell it on and sell it
39:24
on and sell it on and then over time the 10% that kicks back to us mhm racks up a
39:30
bit of cash let's do it even though you could just go into word and create it
39:35
yes but I mean selling an N nft I don't know why it keeps going to say NFP but
39:40
to sell an nft doesn't give the person like rights to reuse that image like in
39:47
an advertising or anything they just own that particular image yes that's in a
39:53
blockchain that won't ever degrade or
39:55
anything like that but I don't know
40:00
what I mean I've I know what it
40:05
is too young we're we're something we're just we are really in the worst spot for
40:11
technology like Facebook came out yeah we didn't quite get it we we were a
40:16
little too old for it I think when that first came out and it's been downhill
40:19
ever since yeah you're right I think it's also because we didn't have mobile
40:24
phones or email addresses until our last year of high school
40:28
mhm cuz yeah a lot of us didn't even have internet to that last year of high
40:32
school yeah we've talked about alen Dean Foster getting screwed over on a
40:37
previous episode Disney are refusing to pay royalties or they're refusing to
40:44
honor the royalties deal that he made with Lucas film for all the books that
40:48
he ghost wrote uh for George Lucas over the years um and Disney like no we
40:54
didn't make a deal with you which I still don't understand how how they can
40:58
do it to go well no you made that deal with L we brought that of course but I
41:02
know I don't didn't agree to that so I don't get it either but uh a whole lot
41:06
of other authors are rallying now uh including Neil gaimon who's the only
41:12
really big name on the list to be honest it's Neil gimon and a whole bunch of
41:15
other F sci-fi fantasy authors that I'd never heard of but hopefully this does
41:20
put some weight behind it because alen Dean Foster only gets
41:25
paid from the royalties of the books he wrote CU he's an author and that's how
41:30
that works so and the thing is like the type the money we're talking about these
41:36
got that as Loose Change in their pockets yeah yeah yeah Foster just lives
41:41
in a normal house like a normal person right he doesn't make tons of cash he
41:46
just needs to buy his groceries yeah we're not talking about millions of
41:49
dollars a year or anything like that that's right and it's not just the Star
41:53
Wars he also wrote all the alien novels which um Disney now owned too because they also
41:59
are quite Fox so there's a lot of [ __ ] that he is just not being paid for now
42:05
and you can go out and buy any one of his books and he doesn't get anything
42:08
for it so pretty unfair by anyone standards surely yeah
42:13
no to me if you buy the business and that you you take on all of their
42:18
contracts you need that should be something you look at if you don't want
42:21
to pay it yeah you go back and you now have to renegotiate with them like hey
42:25
we'll give you one more final pay and then gone and then he'll go no I'll just
42:29
stick with the one yeah he'll go well actually that's that's not my problem so
42:34
yeah yeah now I do I do think that sometimes those royalty deals go too far
42:41
in the fact that like the grandchildren of some author are still collecting I
42:47
don't I don't believe in that no no I think it's only for that person pass on
42:52
to children and things like that like if my granddad wrote a book I don't expect
42:57
any [ __ ] money for that I didn't do a godamn thing you know what I mean I
43:01
don't want royalties from his job at the [ __ ] Australia post that he worked
43:04
out for 20 years you know what I mean like yeah like yeah that's just between
43:08
the person who did the work and then that's it there's no selling it off to
43:11
someone else or giving it to someone's inheritance it's it's between you and
43:17
that Soul fcking Corporation yeah that's right yeah but you pay him he he did the
43:23
work he agreed to something yeah yeah done and I I believe the way that it
43:28
works with writing a book is that you get it a little Advan then you go away
43:35
and you write the book then they give you a little bit more money but the real
43:40
money that you make that that makes it worth doing all the work of writing the
43:44
damn book is that over the years you
43:48
accumulate royalties mhm so without that he might not have
43:53
bothered look it if he knew he wasn't going to be getting paid why would he do
44:00
it yeah yeah so disy be nice pay the
44:05
man I bought an allenan Foster book recently without paying him but only
44:09
because I bought it secondhand off of eBay and there's nothing I can do about
44:12
that no well you could go buy it on a
44:17
Kindle yeah that's true yeah and then he'd get money off of that maybe
44:22
depending on the book and how it works to be honest I don't think this one's on
44:26
Kindle this was very very rare maybe or maybe other Studios publish should have
44:30
gone well this he not paying why should we pay yeah you didn't make that agreement
44:36
with us you made that that agreement with Barry and he's left so yeah that's
44:40
what it is right can I tell you about this book so this book is called Luana
44:45
right MH and it's the story of it's basically tazan with a woman instead of
44:51
tazan right okay um but it was an Italian
44:58
film in the 60s or 70s lowbudget film and then somebody in America bought the
45:04
rights to the film and decided to publish it as a book got Alan Dean
45:10
Foster to write the story got a copy of the film that was in Italian which alen
45:16
Dean Foster does not speak and he told he made that very very
45:20
clear before they' made their deal I do not speak Italian they're like no one's
45:24
going to know watch the movie with the sound off figure out what you think it
45:30
might be about and write that so his book which I bought recently off of VP
45:36
as I said may or may not have anything to do with the source material yeah but
45:41
it was still a good read oh he did the novelization for the
45:46
last star fighter H I didn't even know there was one but
45:50
of course there was yeah back then there was books for anything movie that came
45:56
out yeah flinks and flock Alien
45:59
Nation oh I remember Alien Nation
46:06
alien he was a rider on the Dig was he
46:11
oh man I love the Dig I've been thinking of playing that again it's been a couple of
46:18
years yeah it's just done a lot he even did the force awakens I
46:25
didn't realize he was still doing doing Star Wars novels well he's probably not anymore
46:31
no man they can't not pay him for the force
46:35
awakens yeah because no he'd have to get
46:40
paid for that because surely that's all that's 100% Disney isn't it yeah that's
46:46
when F that was Disney's first movie yeah you can't go back on that one cuz
46:51
you did make that deal do you know that six years was all it took for Disney to
46:58
recoup their $42 billion acquisition actually surprised it took them that
47:04
long yeah I guess so cuz the amount of Licensing that they sell off for Star
47:09
Wars is crazy yeah yeah it's
47:14
true like I own quite a few pairs of
47:18
Star Wars pajamas Lego yeah yeah yeah when Hoy was working at Disney she was
47:24
saying that that 90% of their revenue came from actually you know what I don't know if
47:28
it was 90% I don't it's probably not but she was saying they made a lot of money
47:32
off of Li made like it we don't have to worry about DIY but I also I thought
47:36
that it worked completely differently I thought that Star Wars or whatever
47:41
decided I wanted toothbrush let's contact a toothbrush Manu I thought it
47:45
was but no toothbrush goes hey we want to do this can we do it and and they go
47:51
yes for this figure yeah which I guess makes sense but uh
47:57
did not know that so I'm seeing down the bottom here there are some geek of the
48:02
weeks people died this week yeah a couple of people died this week and I
48:06
thought I would know well I thought I I'll put all three of them to you and
48:10
you can tell me a if you know who they are uh if you don't I'll fill you in a
48:14
little bit and then you can decide if
48:18
there one or any deserve to be all right so I see three names here Michael
48:23
Collins Anita Lane and Nathan Jung y now I think I know Michael Collins okay he
48:30
was a singer no you're thinking of Phil
48:34
Collins okay Michael Collin you do know
48:38
at least you know his work all right he was an astronaut he was one of the first
48:44
three people to fly to the moon he just never walked on the moon correct yeah y
48:50
as K pilton would have said he was the loneliest man in the world mhm okay um I
48:56
could I could probably see maybe him okay yeah all right well let's let's go
49:01
through the others so Anita Lane was the girlfriend of Nick Cave from
49:06
1977 to 1982 she was in a few of his early bands
49:11
including the tea party and the bad seeds and co-wrote a couple of songs
49:16
with Nick Cave uh she died this week age 60 not that old so probably drugs
49:22
probably drugs um I don't know if you can get it just for being someone's girlfriend okay
49:29
no fair fair all right well the third one is no one's girlfriend this is
49:33
Nathan Yung and he is an actor he was in
49:38
one episode of Star Trek the Original Series where he played genas
49:42
Khan mhm he was also in um dark man he was in big trouble little China he was
49:49
in Beverly Hills and ininja pretty much any 8s movie that needed a Asian person
49:54
he was in mhm and he's dead um and he's dead yeah he died this week do we know if he did
50:01
anything cuz he's just he's just in movies I mean he's in a lot of nerdy
50:06
movies but then again he's taken what he can get he's also in chips he's also in
50:11
stari and Hut I can't give it to him but I think Michael Collins does deserve it
50:16
because he got jipped a little bit everyone knows him but no one knows his
50:20
name mhm mhm yeah everyone knows Neil and Buzz and no one knows Michael
50:24
Collins and he put his life on the line the same is the rest of them yeah yeah
50:28
in fact now he's walking down the street and people are like oh I love in the air
50:31
tonight and he's like that wasn't me that was Phil Collins it's one of those
50:35
sad things like when they were going to fly up they they weren't able to get insurance
50:42
so yeah yeah so they weren't insured for the flight and so what they were doing
50:47
so that they knew that their family would be looked after something went
50:50
wrong they would signed a lot of did a lot of autographs really gave them to
50:55
their partners and went if we die please sell these wow that's
51:02
Grim you think though for what they'll doing the government come in and go like
51:06
look if anything happens we're going to look after like we look after your
51:10
families like we will pay your salary to them for yeah especially those guys
51:16
because it's like you're only doing this now to beat the Russians like this this
51:21
is just for national pride y like you you're probably taking a few extra risks
51:26
in rushing it so fast so yeah yeah well they had rushed once before that it
51:33
exploded mhm like the chances that this was going to work were actually pretty
51:38
slim some of the like people who think it's it's all fake and the Flat Earth
51:43
and all that what they they call out the landing is being crap like the lunar
51:47
lander landing on the moon or Landing back on Earth landing on the moon
51:52
because they go like they never tested it how would you go that far when you've
51:56
never test it on how could you test and that's thing like well there's gravity
52:01
on Earth and they did test it it went wrong but you can't really test it cuz
52:06
they did mathematical calculations to account for the change of gravity mhm
52:13
and they they did the best they could do but yeah you can't test cuz there's
52:17
nowhere to test that on Earth that's the whole thing about it do flat
52:23
earthers believe in airplanes yes do they believe you can only go one
52:29
way though cuz if they like I assume that the Flat Earth they think is just
52:33
the map right they've seen the map and they think it's that yes is there a
52:38
particular map because in Europe in Australia and America we have maps that
52:43
start and end at different places is there a consensus on where the
52:47
boundaries are no there's a lot of the there's a lot of different flavors of
52:53
Flat Earth so there's not one they go this is the one okay okay the one thing
52:57
I've always found weird about the flat earthers is cuz they go like it's all
53:02
yeah they don't trust anyone but they've never called out like the countries
53:06
don't really match what's actually out there on the maps like that's not
53:10
something I've ever heard them bring up which to me seems a little silly like
53:13
examp how do we know Australia looks like this have you seen
53:17
it I mean I've seen Australia y so okay so let me just back up here okay so on
53:23
an Australian map Europe and America on
53:27
opposite sides yes and we have the Pacific Ocean in the middle I think
53:32
America have themselves in the middle unsurprising there's no use trying to
53:38
speak with them about it no no my question is my question is let's say
53:42
that let's say there was a flat earthers convention right and let's say it was in
53:48
England yep and you had someone in America that was going to go there and you had someone
53:54
in I've got to look at a map to really map
53:59
world look some of the I guess what I'm saying is how do they time when it's
54:04
going to be because somebody's going well I'll get on a plane from America to
54:08
England and it'll take me 6 hours and the other person's going I don't know
54:10
how you're getting 6 hours mate CU you got to go the entire length of the globe
54:14
they this is stuff that they try and do they try and go well they look for
54:19
arguments that suit them but ignore stuff fair that doesn't into what they
54:24
need like they try and point out like if we were really like this like why would
54:28
they they fly from here to here and stuff like that and so of like and some
54:33
of the easiest things is because there's not really a big Market from people
54:37
flying from Australia to like South Africa like sure yeah yeah yeah yeah and
54:44
that's why we go by Dubai yeah yeah but they go like it's just faster to go this
54:48
way but yeah we're not filling up planes to go there there and back every week
54:52
and they just you got you got to ref you got to ref they think that
54:57
uh either so there got some people they oh we spoke the airline pilots and
55:02
they've confirmed it and then others are they're trained to do it this way but
55:08
they don't actually understand like if it was if the Earth
55:12
was round then they'd have to constantly be dipping the nose down otherwise
55:15
they'd fly into space and it's so like you don't understand how small we are
55:22
compared to the earth I mean that is true too extent they they do fly on an
55:29
arc but it is it it is adjacent to the
55:34
Earth yes in the same way as I when I walk from here to there I feel like I'm
55:39
walking in a straight line whereas in reality I'm walking on a very very very
55:43
slight curve yes but probably not because this is still the
55:48
floor yeah and they go like if I was driving if if like if Earth was around
55:53
if I was driving from here going to here that's all down here it's like yeah
55:58
doesn't mean Topography is not real no that still exists there was a great Flat
56:03
Earth called out for that so he he went here and here they're so far distance
56:08
apart and um but the sea level here
56:14
compared to here is the same but you don't you go down less than you go up
56:19
and it's s of like cuz sea level is just sea level yeah like that's that's
56:24
literally how water Works see here's the thing right and I
56:30
guess I guess you can't be angry at these people because in order to
56:34
distrust these things you have to have literally no concept of how science
56:39
works so I guess if you don't if if you
56:42
don't understand science it's as crazy as magic so and that's part of the
56:48
problem a lot of it they don't understand so they interpret it one way
56:52
and then they accuse everyone of just lying to them and it's so
56:57
interesting oh what one of the other things they go it's so they can funnel
57:01
money out that's why NASA like spend so much so was like if they wanted to fun
57:06
money out they'd just not tell you about the budget yeah true like very true very very
57:12
true and you really they're hiring thousands of people to pretend to do
57:18
things there a documentary called Loose Change it's from the early 2000s and
57:23
it's about conspiracy theories it's mostly about uh 9/11 but it kind of was
57:30
the springboard for a lot of other conspiracy theories as well and people
57:34
that are into conspiracy theories now always site loose change as the fact
57:39
that they the reason they got into it the filmmaker behind loose change has
57:44
since come out and said I was 20 when I made that I was pretty susceptible to
57:50
[ __ ] and I have since realized that none of that is true please stop asking
57:56
me about it not only am I not a filmmaker anymore I'm definitely not a
58:00
conspiracy theorist and please don't take seriously anything I said in that
58:04
movie cuz I was very wrong about all of it and everyone's like oh he's been
58:09
tricked now to and it's like no no I was just a teenager who didn't understand
58:15
physics and now I do and so now I'm telling you don't listen to that mhm but
58:22
no they got to him yeah that's right he's been corrupted uh greatest thing I saw once
58:29
is uh there was some guy I forget what he's talking about he talking about
58:32
planets or something and was like how if I type this into Google Google pops up
58:37
and says this is commonly like a false report is real but it's fake and all
58:42
this and he goes they're just lying to us because when I go to Google Earth I
58:47
can see this it's all like you just you're saying what you
58:53
want but Google really Google's one you and they also have the evidence just
58:58
sitting there available for everyone to see that's all for this week thank you
