here we are again another week another exciting time we've killed Matt it's
0:05
just a to of us now yeah just him he was good he was gristly but um but tasty
0:12
yeah there's a problem I don't know how we post the podcast anymore cuz he I was
0:16
thinking about that too I'm hoping that even though he's unwell and can't appear
0:20
on the podcast that he's still well enough to publish the podcast yes
0:24
otherwise we're doing this for nothing so welcome to multiple nerd GM with your
0:31
hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple
0:36
nerdgasm your guide to All Things
0:45
nerdy I must say I do like your background I'm feeling a little
0:48
inadequate today sorry I I've had this green screen with me forever I hav it
0:53
doesn't quite feel the screen but just don't look at the corners oh it's
0:57
cropped for me so that it's perfect it looks perfect on yep I'm going to do a
1:03
different different background every week so who knows what it'll be getting
1:06
more and more obscure each time y I'm sure who knows well I was just telling
1:13
you off a um I'm on a a Mac for work during the week I work from home I work
1:18
from the same desk same monitor same keyboard and mouse but on the weekends I
1:21
switch back to my PC and it's like I'm on a real computer not a toy yeah cuz
1:27
and I think that's a good way to do it cuz that way you can really between work
1:31
and fun yeah and this is all I've got on my Mac is work apps and all I've got on
1:37
my PC are fun apps yeah you know including all the stuff for this podcast
1:41
including games and uh but just the the feeling of Windows it feels like driving
1:46
a manual transmission instead of an auto yeah get out of gokart yeah it's just
1:52
more comfortable you got a bit more freedom you got two mouse
1:57
buttons no two mouse buttons for a long
2:01
time L long time at least 20 years at least 20 years well no I say that cuz
2:07
actually I think the actual Mac mice have no buttons whatsoever um but I because they're
2:14
touch sensitive oh okay very very long time since I'm using
2:19
I I used the Logitech um was it the MX Pro um which has like 12 buttons on it
2:25
and I use it regardless of which computer I'm on SO okay I I know doesn't change for
2:31
me I will say this though I liked the puck back in the day y um because I do a
2:38
lot of intricate things like drawing and graphic design having not to have my whole hand
2:44
on a mouse and just to manipulate with my fingertips actually was quite well
2:49
that's what that was designed for wasn't that's why it was sort of like if you if
2:53
you were playing games you got a PC or if you're a graphic designer yeah that's
2:59
right exactly y y yeah I it got a lot of
3:04
criticism it got a lot of criticism but uh I'm sure you could probably track one
3:08
down see I technically own one but H doesn't want it in the house
3:14
so she gave it to me freak you're not allowed to use it she got she got she
3:19
did a retro exhibition of um early 2000's artifacts for a tie in with a
3:26
with a TV show she made um and they tracked down and I
3:30
um to be part of the exhibition it's she's like techn if you want it it's
3:33
yours but I don't know where you're going to put it and I was like I'll find
3:37
somewhere but we we live in a pretty small house so I honestly don't know you
3:42
would get it it would sit there it' be for the I don't want to boot it up no no
3:47
no no oh God no no no os9 no no no the G3 no definitely not but it looks
3:54
nice yeah and it's in that like what's the opposite of a sweet spot sour spot
4:00
it's in the sour spot of like old but not retro cuz I play a lot of retro
4:04
games I'm recently teaching myself to
4:08
use and and program on a comodore 64 um I find that fascinating um but I don't
4:15
want to do anything in the like 1995 to 2005 era you know what I mean it's just
4:21
loving the program are you trying to track down like old magazines that you
4:24
have to code your own game and stuff in oh yeah I've got uh well I won't bother
4:28
getting it out oh no it is a it's a visual it is pry yeah no I'm getting uh I'm getting
4:33
my my old codes and um I've got multiple this is this is good stuff here right
4:39
this is uh how to how to draw characters
4:42
with petsy pety pety and how to um how
4:47
to code with with Commodore basic and I'm terrible I'm not good at it I won't
4:52
I'm not going to pretend I'm good at it yet I've got a couple of books at Old
4:55
mags yeah you're not going to be great day one it's going to take time no no
4:58
exactly well not even great [ __ ] several months in but it's fun it's fun
5:03
I like looking at the old I like looking at the old I have the patience for it I'm
5:07
jealous yeah yeah I've I've got I've got patience for that not not other things I
5:13
probably should have patience for instead I can write my experience with
5:17
coding I can write basic SQL I don't even know what an SQL is
5:22
some of my code is out in the world being used and I don't know how or
5:26
why fair enough yeah so what has been
5:32
happening um we've seen some movies this week and actually so one of them I
5:36
haven't seen but I am seeing next week but I want I want spoilers I want I want
5:41
you to tell me exactly what you think about it and the other one we both have
5:44
seen and I was actually thinking we probably couldn't talk about it this
5:47
week because Matt hasn't seen it Matt's not here Matt's not here so I think I
5:52
think we can talk about it and Matt if you are listening back you might want to
5:56
skip ahead but part of the whole thing about it is cuz we're talking about
6:00
Oppenheimer of course is I don't think it's possible to spoil the movie no no
6:05
correct for two reasons it's got sort of a documentary feel behind yes it's a
6:09
historical biopic and we know what happened right we know what happened and
6:13
two and Matt I'm going to get not into spoilers for the movie but spoilers for
6:19
the mood of the movie right I found this
6:24
to be far less Christopher Nolan than I was expecting and actually
6:30
I wish somebody had told me that going in cuz I was expecting suddenly weird
6:34
stuff to start happening time dilation and you know and he did talk about how
6:39
some of the movie was subtext subtextual was subjective and some was objective um
6:46
and I guess that's technically true but it wasn't in any way that I thought
6:50
was particularly challenging and I kind
6:55
of was expecting it to be a little bit more
7:00
this the first nor movie I've seen in quite some time where I understood it
7:04
all sure yeah yeah yeah it's much more of a normal movie yeah I liked it yeah I
7:10
liked it too yeah yeah I liked it as well now I'll say this it probably
7:13
didn't need to be three hours long no it did D and if you are going to tell that
7:19
much of a story just make it a Netflix series like you've got the perfect
7:22
platform for it now if you Netflix series about it now right right okay yeah so there you
7:28
go yeah no it is very visual it's beautiful the the the this the Mison s
7:35
they create with the the the bombs going off and and his kind of imagination of
7:39
of like what he might do to the World by creating this thing and the performances
7:43
were all great and then he's like his whole whole thing of like him going
7:47
through like this has to be done now but then also going we can't continue this
7:51
because yeah yeah this say you can't SP because
7:58
that's that's right exactly the the only
8:02
thing you could spoil really is pointing out the angle that it takes
8:08
which is that it's more focused on whether or not he was a communist yes
8:14
than what he did with the bomb the bomb itself is kind of the middle hour and
8:18
it's book ended by this was he a and and
8:20
that's fairly interesting um uh cuz he
8:25
was he was banging a communist and he brother was a communist and and like
8:31
fair enough but uh it's almost like that was two movies there was the movie about
8:35
him creating the bomb and then wondering whether he should have the whole thing
8:38
about the Communist part of it is is sort of like he he was sort of open
8:42
about like throughout like it's no yeah I'm interested in it but yeah not a
8:46
remember yeah the phrase is I think they say it in the movie but it's it's it's
8:49
the historically accurate phrase fellow traveler is what they say which is
8:53
basically saying yeah yeah I actually totally agree with you but I'm not going
8:56
to start sending money to the Soviets it's like I support this kind of cause of like we
9:02
probably do need to cap capitalism somewhere and uh we probably are
9:06
exploiting the workers but I'm not I'm not a card carry don't agree with like
9:11
this actual yeah yeah yeah the actuality of of Communism as a as a government
9:17
regime yeah it's it's not necessarily what we want for the United States I I
9:22
do have to mention something and this one might be a bit of a spoiler cuz this
9:25
was meant to be like they got so much TNT and this was the biggest
9:30
explosion it's a bit disappointing yeah because they're like
9:36
we didn't use any CGI okay you could have I wouldn't have cared I watch
9:40
movies with a lot of CGI I don't care I'm quite happy with it like that's not
9:44
a flex like cares yeah yeah you could have made it a bit better if he had made
9:48
it with CGI because I I don't like CGI just for the sake because you see some
9:53
it's just you could have just shot that like there's no reason why and like
9:57
something like the flash it was like come on guys this looks like CGI rended
10:01
on a PlayStation 2 but this I don't know for I was expecting more and I was just
10:06
a little it was very powerful moment still oh yeah yeah probably the best
10:10
moment in the film yeah but second best the best moment was when Emily Blunt
10:15
finally had some lines worth saying at the end of the film and she gets up and
10:19
delivers Her speech and you were like oh okay if you were going to write her
10:22
character rich with layers you could have been doing this the whole time that
10:27
is that is one thing Nolan does get criticized for is is not really writing
10:31
enough depths for women yes yes he he wouldn't pass what what's the test the
10:36
the back test yeah tail test he wouldn't be passing that no I don't think he's
10:41
concerned with it though to be honest yeah I don't think there was one point
10:45
in the movie where a female spoke to another female no I think there was two
10:49
females on screen except like party backgrounds but yeah yeah and all the
10:55
talk was about Oppenheimer like it's not like that's what it was because it's
10:59
that him yeah it was yeah I mean his name is the name of the film yeah Y and
11:03
it was yeah so no I enjoy I'll say this yeah I enjoyed it too and I think that
11:09
the the Christopher Nolan movies that I love the most are the ones that I wasn't
11:14
sure of the first viewing and then began to love on a second and even third
11:19
viewing interstella I was very disappointed by in my first watch and I
11:25
can't even remember why because now I love it so much uh and this one might be
11:30
the same this one might be a one that I don't quite know how I feel about it
11:33
other than then I did enjoy it I wasn't bored um even with the the the long run
11:38
time but that I mean people are haing it as a masterpiece I wouldn't say that now
11:43
but ask me after I've SE it a second time surely it will yeah yeah it will
11:47
but look for me the problem it's got with the second time
11:51
watching I don't very often throw in a 3our movie if I'm looking for something to
11:56
watch it's not a I may sit there for 3 hours and watch watch two movies yeah
12:00
that's right yeah yeah 4 hours if I'm watching four episodes of a Netflix show
12:05
yeah but to throw a 3-hour movie that's that's commitment yeah they backing out
12:11
so that's where I think I may probably never watch it again 3 hours is really
12:16
pushing it too I I feel yeah because a lot of the Marvel movies are two and a
12:20
half hours and I feel like that's pushing it but literally hitting that 3H
12:26
hour that 180 minute Mark is like you've got to be pretty confident that you've
12:30
got a lot of good content there yeah cuz yeah like I saw two movies I saw up and
12:36
Hy and I saw barbie for Barby Heimer or whatever they're calling it yeah yeah
12:41
you saw the the the the double feature yes and if I was going to watch us if I
12:46
was going to watch a movie for the second time I'd watch Barbie because
12:48
it's just yeah I must admit I'm pretty excited about seeing this next week um
12:55
I'm going to go see it during the day I'm going to take the afternoon off work
12:57
and see it because it's still sold out on the weekends like this movie is so
13:03
popular and and is right what they say like if you love Barbie you're going to
13:06
love it if you don't like Barbie you still going to enjoy the movie yeah so
13:12
evidently women who grew up with the dolls know who all these characters are
13:17
already I just know Barbie and Ken but evidently like the character Michael
13:21
Sarah plays and the character Alan there you go yeah apparently that's a real
13:25
doll and apparently people know his backstory yep there's all there all of
13:31
those they're all there and it's yeah no it's it's it's fun it's stupid yeah it's
13:37
so I do know some people Ken and Barbie going through and
13:44
getting confused in the real world and which sort of happens but it's not a k
13:48
and Barbie movie okay like it's not interesting not a love story between
13:52
them okay look I don't I don't mind spoilers so the spoilers it's been by
13:59
comes out it's been two weeks Yeah Yeah so basically so Barbie starts having
14:06
these weird thoughts and starts Marg Robin Co starts having these weird
14:09
thoughts thinking about death and all these things and she's hysterical
14:13
typical Barbie mhm yeah and so and then she has to go on an adventure to the
14:20
real world to find her owner who's having these thoughts to try and rectify
14:25
it so she can go back to living the perfect life okay so she's ESS her her
14:30
life is being played with by an actual
14:33
child in the real world yes okay that's and it's sort of like they go through a
14:38
bit of thing and they see like the the daughter's sad and she's having fights
14:41
with her mom cuz she's sort of growing up that little bit and getting to that
14:44
stage Barbie's not fun and all this Ken
14:48
is his whole life is just to be seen by Barbie right yeah it only exists if
14:54
Barbie is there yeah and there line movie like where does Ken live I don't
15:01
know Barbie dream houses everywhere yeah but where does Ken live that's so funny
15:06
they go through real world and they find out it's not the daughter it's the mom
15:10
the mom's sort of remembering the time she was spending with her child and
15:13
she's growing up and she's missing it and Ken finds out about the
15:18
patriarchy and let me guess he likes it he likes it think it's a lot to do with
15:23
horses and travels back to Barbie land and tells everyone else about
15:30
kids take over that's amazing that's amazing yes and yeah no it's and it's
15:37
about that and it's even the funny jokes and it's weird that Mattel let some of
15:41
these jokes go through like you walk in the board of Mattel all men yeah right
15:48
just things like that and it's just yeah no they must have had a moment where
15:51
they were like we could be portrayed well and people would think it's phony
15:56
or we could be portrayed accurately and let them make fun of us and people will
16:00
give us money for seeing the movie so let's do that yep they went so will
16:05
frell's the head of the board awesome but no look I do recommend
16:11
seeing it it's stupid and fun yeah that I I and I'm I'm all about that I'm I'm
16:17
I'm more than happy for a movie to just and it does sound like it has like a bit
16:21
of a political angle in terms it does but but at its heart it's just trying to
16:25
be a a good fun movie to watch right it's like the Barbies all believe that
16:30
they've fixed the world and everything's great and women can do everything and
16:34
then they come to the real world and realizes it's not right
16:40
amazing yeah that's that's great my neighbor his daughter is one year older
16:45
than my daughter and she's just gotten into Barbie and um his whole life is
16:49
about Barbie now he he knows all about it he has to get into it and he was over
16:55
at our house the other day and he's like oh you guys watch Barbie and we're like
16:58
no we're not there yet he like oh okay it's a concept to him not she's a little
17:02
bit too young for all yeah but you touched on something there that I remember from my
17:08
childhood the moment playing with toys stopped being fun and
17:13
it I called didn't know yep yes yes mom's home yes people are
17:19
here
17:24
we I remember the exact moment where I was playing and I used to have like
17:31
this bucket of action figures that cuz I used to keep my Ghostbusters together my
17:36
Ninja Turtles together my He-Man together but then I also had this bucket
17:39
of just random ones that could be anyone like I had Mand Drake the magician from
17:46
Defenders of the earth he could be Dracula he could be Bruce Wayne it was
17:50
just a guy in a suit right you know just these generic figures and they were my
17:53
favorites cuz I used to be able to play anything with them any movie I watch
17:57
okay I can play with these guys and I was I Wasing Beast Man
18:02
from he could be a werewolf he could be any like you know like it was just those
18:08
kind of generic ones and I used to love it and then one day I must have been 11
18:13
or or 12 or turning 12 and I'd gotten them out and I was playing and then it
18:16
just dawned on me that I wasn't enjoying it on the same level that I wasn't able
18:22
to just completely forfeit the world around me
18:27
to the world in front of me and I got really melan like it was I got real sad
18:34
that that was the moment my childhood was over essentially and that's also the
18:38
time that you start picking apart movies as well a little bit more movies are
18:41
just fun that's hold on there's this and that yeah yeah of course I remember I
18:48
say we going full circle I probably Happ a little bit earli for me because I was a year
18:53
younger than everyone else yeah yeah so probably forced upon me a bit faster but
18:58
even today like I'll build Lego love building Lego and then I get bit sad CU
19:03
I build it now not going to play with it play with it a young yeah the start was
19:09
fun to build and then I can play with it I can fly it around the horses had the
19:15
whole night St in the castle so you Mo out that castle was the best yeah yeah
19:19
so yeah I used to get I got yelled at by my dad once because I built cuz the way
19:25
you used to do it at my house was you'd buy a set you'd build it you'd play with
19:29
it a bit and then it' get broken down at some point and everything would just get
19:33
integrated to your greater collection of Lego and you could just build anything
19:37
with it but at one stage when I was about 10 I rebuilt all
19:42
the castle things I dug out all the and I rebuilt the whole castle setting and
19:47
um I wanted to keep it out because I wanted to just play castles with it y
19:51
but my brother and sister were like no we want the Pieces Just to be in the
19:54
collection and my dad was like you have to break it down and I was like I'm not
19:58
I'm not breaking down but but I want to play with this yeah that's
20:03
right yeah that's right just going to
20:07
build [ __ ] see I'm one step even back from that because I no longer even
20:13
really get the Joy from building it I find building Lego tedious now but [ __ ]
20:16
I love buying it I love buying Lego I love going to the to the shop and
20:22
looking at it and then buying it and bringing it home and then going I'm
20:25
going to complete this in as quick a time as I can because is so [ __ ]
20:29
tedious to build these I I enjoy building it and I wish I did I build it
20:34
too quickly so what I do is I'll do like a bag at a time like I get some bags
20:39
I'll do I'll build this bag and that's it and now I'll stop and I'll take my
20:43
time yeah I can't do that really stretch it out I can't do that I'm not process
20:48
based anymore I'm results based now some when you get something in big sets that
20:51
have like 21 bags you have to be you have to be God they're fun well I
20:57
started I tried to get into model cars last year because I um I
21:02
bought the James Bond Aston Martin in Lego and I built it and I was I was
21:06
pretty happy with that but I also thought it doesn't look right it's all
21:09
blocky so I thought uh I'm going to just get some like realistic model cars um
21:15
but I want to be able to put it together in this in in one setting you know like
21:19
just sit down put it canot the very cheap snap together
21:24
models you kind of can maybe if you spend a couple of hours but the the
21:30
build the engine piece by piece build the chassis the
21:35
painting oh yeah don't come painted yeah that's right yeah you could yeah you
21:40
could throw it together quickly but it'll look shit'll be it won be
21:44
realistic you want it to look you've you've got to do several cones of paint
21:47
you know and you've got to you've got to do the gloss coat and then you've you've
21:50
got to do the the the you know the window fixtures and stuff separately
21:55
that's what i' get the models but yeah it's that I don't have the patience for
21:59
that Lego time consuming yeah like if I want to I can build the whole thing but
22:05
yeah models you have to take your time there's no
22:09
rushing yeah yeah was that sad I know
22:13
right but the thing is I still love the concept of these things and and
22:18
evidently I mean Barbie coming to the real world definitely reminds me of
22:22
Masters of the Universe um evidently there was going to be a Netflix series
22:27
master of the universe that's now been canned but they're still discussing if
22:30
if barie does well which I mean it's going to make a billion dollars right
22:34
already well um then we'll probably get we'll probably get a Master of the
22:38
Universe movie um if it's as good as I believe Barbie probably is then you know
22:44
maybe this will redeem the 1987 version I don't I don't know I don't know if I
22:49
could I don't know if a master He-Man would be you'd have to make it ironic
22:54
because the whole thing about He-Man he's called he man yes you know
23:00
like he's supposed to be like this
23:03
perfect ideal of a man he's muscular and
23:07
is brave and stuff and they juxtapose it with this kind of cowardly Prince Adam
23:13
that he gets the power but Prince Adam still looks like he works six hours a
23:18
day he just a pink vest on and that's the only thing that's less masculine
23:23
about him but that's the weird thing like when he changes it's still the same
23:28
build it's not like he just changed his outfit that's right yeah what can you do
23:34
now as He-Man that you couldn't do before yeah you're very strong I can I
23:38
can tell just by looking at your arms yes um but they could do something
23:43
ironic I mean not too iron I'm kind of a bit over this kind
23:48
of we were uh we're in Tasmania over the weekend last weekend I've never been to
23:53
Tasmania man it's a beautiful state have you ever been down there yes [ __ ] it is
23:59
beautiful to look at two minutes to Rainforest yes so we were in the inner
24:04
city we went to a place with cows in 8
24:08
minutes like it was ridiculous how small that city is and how quickly you get
24:13
into rural areas but um our hotel had
24:19
normal TV right which we don't have here I don't have an aial we just watch
24:24
streaming right so I just had um the ABC and for those of you who in Australia
24:29
who don't know ABC is like it's the government funded TV channel so it's got
24:33
everything has to kind of have an angle of like cultural significance or
24:37
education or something like that but all kids shows especially have to have
24:42
something ironic about them now you know like there's even one called Square the
24:49
circle and it's about this circle whose name is square and it's like come on
24:55
like just being ironic for the sake of it now there's one called vegasaurus or
25:02
something like that and it's and it's dinosaurs but they're vegetables and the
25:07
T-Rex you know the the biggest dinosaur of them all Yep p-rex they're peas
25:12
little green peas and they're the smallest of all dinosaurs like
25:16
everything just has to be ironic now what you say V I thought I was just
25:21
going to be normal dinosaurs that with veget yeah trying to get kids eat
25:25
vegetables type that's what I thought at first two no yeah no
25:29
okay yeah I don't watch a lot of um kid shows kids TV no no yeah surprise surprise yeah no
25:35
no um did you watch Dungeons and Dragons or was that Matt I think Matt has
25:40
watched Dungeons and Dragons because I hav have you seen it no I haven't seen
25:43
it yet either actually on my list I do want to give it a go I just don't know
25:47
how it would be good yeah I agree in fact I I'm interested to hear if Matt says it's
25:54
good I might watch it if he says it's bad then I think can I I don't know if
25:57
it's just like if it's real Dungeons and Dragons like they get sucked into the
26:02
game or it's people playing the game or if they're just using the name or is it
26:07
based on the the cartoon series from the 80s where the kids get sucked into the
26:13
Dungeons and Dragons World yeah that could be something like that or is it
26:19
just using it doesn't it doesn't look serious but then again I mean our D and
26:24
D games that we've played haven't been altogether serious either but I'm sure
26:29
we' both I have and I'm sure you have been involved in some some pretty
26:33
serious love to do a proper one but we end up talking about chicken lifea
26:37
sandwiches a lot yeah that's right yeah
26:41
yeah mhh molesting elves and stuff yeah yeah it just happens all right well I'm
26:46
looking forward to Matt telling us about this uh next week when he
26:50
returns we do have some follow-up news I can get into yeah please please get into
26:56
this I've been following up on the Billy Mitchell
26:59
case yeah it is not going well for him
27:03
is it not going well because he's just an out andout liar and his lies are
27:09
being exposed as the lies that they are yes that that has something to do with
27:14
it like even witnesses that he's brought
27:17
in are not saying what he is saying like one of the witnesses he brought in so he
27:24
said like with the cabinet that he got the got the let's back up a sec let's
27:29
let's I know we've talked about this before but in case there's any new
27:32
listeners Billy Mitchell is greatest gamer of the century it's a quote from
27:38
Billy Mitchell he's uh he's well no to be
27:43
fair if 10 years ago if you said who's Billy Mitchell we would have said he
27:48
holds at least two world records and he still has like he's still a good gamer
27:54
like yeah so Donkey Kong and
27:59
Pac-Man he the first person to complete Pacman yeah that's right yeah um but
28:05
there's since been some controversy because his wins have been questioned
28:10
now I must say I questioned it at the time because uh when he was was he was
28:17
going up against weeby Rob weeby wee yes
28:20
John we Steve wee Steve weeby um who also is an incredible incredible Pac-Man
28:27
player no King Kong King Kong Donkey Kong sorry not King Kong in fact they
28:31
they they got yeah they got sued from the King Kong guys at the same time um
28:36
Donkey Kong was beat by Billy Mitchell even though Steve weeby did it
28:43
live in front of the judges and Billy Mitchell brought in a crackly old VHS
28:48
tape of him doing it at home but then later claimed that he did it live yes
28:54
and that this is the tape of that live
28:58
event but I believe people who were at that event have now said as as to my
29:05
knowledge there was no video link coming out of that cabinet yeah so so what's
29:09
happened is he he said like there was it was all set up to card in there to
29:15
record it all and the g a guy from Gamestop came out and locked set it all
29:21
up and locked it all and everything the g go I didn't do any of that yeah and he
29:27
went oh so maybe he didn't plug it all in but he he saw the cable for that we
29:32
plugged the PCR in and he's gone don't know anything about that he also and
29:37
just to be clear this is a witness that Billy Mitchell has called in the hearing
29:40
yeah yeah yes there's another witness he had I think was the organizer event so
29:45
he he brought in and she and she was
29:48
going um yeah so um yeah I heard that he he beat the record um was pretty quick I
29:55
think I last about 15 20 minutes oh to to get this takes hours yeah actually it
30:01
t like several hours right like between 5 and 10 hours
30:06
right yeah it's not I don't know exactly how long but it's definitely not yeah
30:11
it's not 15 minutes into the yeah and it was so quick that it was done before
30:16
anything had really opened people were there was Billy Mitchell saying there
30:18
were thousands of people there who saw it yeah and this is on top of the whole
30:23
fact that it had a red joystick and he's
30:29
yeah before it was revealed to him that that was a picture we've got of it and
30:33
he was never play anything unless it was a black top because that's the black top
30:38
the original if it was anything else wouldn't have played it then have gone
30:42
what about this it's just what about this photo of you standing at the
30:45
cabinet yeah look here's the thing I mean he this is like the stri sand
30:52
effect right yes it's exactly like that if he had just shut his mouth mhm he
30:58
would still be remembered even if now other people have beat the record he
31:03
would still be most people's go to who who's the greatest Donkey Kong player in
31:07
the world Billy Mitchell like he'd have that forever in the Lexicon except now
31:13
he's known as a fraud because anytime anyone suggests he goes on TV he goes on
31:18
the internet and he sues Twin Galaxies
31:22
yep like who can easily prove their own
31:26
claims he's suing an Australian YouTuber for defamation right yep
31:32
because he for daring to say what is he going to sue
31:36
us I I think he may have stopped trying to sue people because every all respect
31:41
and I would eat at your restaurant in a heartbeat if I was back in the States
31:46
because I think the problem he's going to run into it's probably already cost him a
31:50
lot of money and when he loses it's probably going to cost him a lot more oh
31:55
yeah yeah cuz there's nothing that is going to go his way from even what
32:01
he's saying the evidence is there so Billy claim his quote from an
32:07
article of Billy also claimed that there was a he set the word record after
32:11
playing for a number of hours starting either at 9 or 10 in the morning and
32:14
ending somewhere between 1 or two the guy video who said the Twin Galaxies was
32:19
over two hours and 30 minutes long no but the the SEC his second witness
32:24
mortgage broker's chair Valerie disputes his claim and she when who says yeah it
32:29
was about 15 minutes I watch after started she heard
32:35
that didn't by the way oh yeah okay right yeah yeah
32:42
wow I mean the thing is these these old video games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man
32:49
and and all of those were made to be unfinishable because finishing the point
32:55
there to make money yeah that's right they were purpose difficult they were
32:59
purposely money hungry and actually some of
33:04
them eventually people got so good that the games basically just shat themselves
33:08
at a certain point like I know Pacman you couldn't finish it because at a
33:13
certain point you just couldn't the game couldn't keep up with the player that's
33:17
also donkey K comp you get the kill stream so getting to the million point
33:21
you need to do it quickly because the game gets to a point you get so many
33:24
levels where it just goes I'm not doing it anymore just it's like you can't
33:28
Tetris Tetris has end the you can do as
33:31
Tetris is so that Tetris crashes and that's and that's so that's
33:38
what saying like he can do that like he actually can but whether he was first
33:42
and him suing everyone and CU here's the other thing I'm going to I'm going to
33:47
throw out there so there was a film crew at the time following around weeby for
33:53
this yes y if he and and they're interviewing Billy Mitchell at the time
33:58
and he's part of this do you think that if he was going hey I'm going to go do
34:03
this convention and I might be doing live and I'm going to aim for that you
34:08
think maybe crew might have gone hey can we come over for that I'll tell you they
34:13
certainly would have been interested as somebody who has been a documentary
34:15
filmmaker if I was if I was filming somebody and somebody else had been like
34:19
by the way I'm going to challenge him and I'm probably going to beat him and
34:22
you might actually end up making your film more about me than about him um and
34:26
all it's going to take is 50 minutes cuz apparently that's the only time that it
34:30
takes me I could understand if the video he got was just him playing at home and
34:35
but if he's going to be at a convention that's great footage for them cuz they
34:39
were even at the time the documentary was trying to make that bit of a rivalry
34:43
and so they would have definitely got fil that 100% yeah so that's the latest
34:49
update and Billy tune in soon for when he well I
34:55
fines and he loses yeah and it won't be long too I think in the next couple of
34:59
months this is this whole thing is going to be wrapped up um just talking about
35:03
finishing old games and just old games that weren't meant to be finished uh I
35:08
set a little challenge for myself recently of playing some old Amiga games
35:14
that I never finished as a kid and playing them all the way through now so
35:20
I've picked a handful of games that were particularly Troublesome to me as kids
35:25
Batman the movie was one um because I loved Batman and I love the
35:29
Batman game but it is it it it is brutally difficult now I'm gonna ask are
35:35
you finding it easier or harder now both both
35:40
so so Batman specifically I have not finished yet because it is tedious as
35:46
[ __ ] like I don't even enjoy playing it at least as a kid I enjoyed every time
35:51
now it's just frustrating because I'm like how can something off screen kill
35:55
me like that is just not fair um but there was a game do you happen to know
36:01
dizzy Prince of the Yol folk no so there was this series of
36:07
games for I know there were for amstrad
36:10
CPC Atari St Amiga that that ER of the
36:15
the 16bit Y computers around the late ' 80s um there was a series of games
36:20
called dizzy Prince of the Yol folk and he was this little egg and he was
36:25
[ __ ] hard to control because if you if you like the joystick to the left he
36:28
would just tumble to the left of the screen you know what I mean and that was
36:32
part of the challenge was you had to it was like controlling a drunk person and
36:37
it wasn't like the controls we have today it's oh yeah that's right you it's
36:43
on or off it's not a that's right um but there's one episode called dizzy
36:48
Treasure Island where you plays dizzy the egg and you strained on Treasure
36:52
Island you got to get off it's essentially an inventory based puzzle
36:55
game so you find items that unlock things that you can get you know doors
37:01
to get through and and and unlock puzzles later on but I barely even
37:05
understood how to even play it as a kid like it just it just didn't make any
37:11
sense to me um and I put it on I had a day to myself last week I put it on I
37:17
played it all day long and I and I finished I went through the entire game
37:23
and it's pretty punishing like I had to start again and it start completely
37:27
again a couple of times because you could you could lock yourself out of
37:31
winning a game by just doing going into an area with the wrong thing in your
37:34
inventory or something back then y
37:38
um but man the satisfaction I had
37:43
finally that I started in 1989 and finally finished in 2023 I
37:49
think the problem with some of those games as well and the reason why they
37:52
become a bit syy is a lot of people didn't use to finish games that wasn't
37:55
really a thing back then you'd play and that was it you're done you'd play it'
38:02
be challenging you'd play a game for an hour or a few hours then you turn it off
38:06
and you put another game on yep and and that still happens today but more people
38:11
I think are finishing today but there are still games that like okay so here's
38:16
an example a play Tale requium the reason why I know this is my sister's playing at the
38:21
moment on the tracking site yeah 43% of Gamers have finished a game
38:27
43% wow is re the first or the second it's the second right getting all the
38:33
Collectibles it's not like 100% it's just the the game yeah right interesting
38:39
and I think back then when we were growing up playing games like ' 80s 90s
38:43
I think that percentage would have been a lot less AB so I think that's where
38:48
the first game start off good and then they get same because they I think
38:52
they'll finally get in because oh yeah yeah yeah when I was a kid I used to
38:58
like to find the exact point in a game where the developers ran out of money
39:03
you know we're just like let's just [ __ ] repeat the last couple of levels
39:07
with a different background or a different skin and then just get to the
39:09
end um but also now I think that we play less games at once like I might have a
39:16
couple of games going but i' I've usually got a one primary game that I
39:19
want to play Until I finish whereas that was never the case as a kid now for me it
39:26
was yeah cuz I remember when I first got my
39:30
first PC was an amrad yeah back when it
39:35
was very easy to Pirate games yes that came home piracy was just it was just
39:40
part of it came home from work and he went here and there was just like a 100
39:45
discs full of different games so it was just what's this one what's this one I
39:49
play this one for a bit this one got too hard jump to the next one there are some
39:53
games I wish I could remember the name of so I could go back cuz there's some I
39:57
want to finish yeah yeah but I cannot remember the
40:02
name like at allg game that's we got to the last
40:08
level and we couldn't work it out oh yeah and only thing I can remember cuz I
40:12
was very young at the time was there's a guy going up a ladder and we could put a
40:16
squid on his head I people on Reddit would be talking
40:20
about that for sure I would know what it is L squid hold on hold on hold on hold on hold
40:25
on RPG but the thing is I may not even remember it correctly I just remember I
40:31
hope you don't this hilarious like on his head on head
40:37
game yeah it's going to be a tough one cuz he he put squid in now it's just
40:43
all squid Games Squid Ink squid campaign yeah because it wasn't about the squid
40:49
that was just an item yeah that's just something in there yeah yeah well it's
40:53
like in the first Monkey Island which if you want to uh
40:58
you don't have a wrench but you have a monkey and if you happen to live in a
41:01
country where they call a spanner a monkey wrench then you might think to
41:05
put the use the monkey to undo the [ __ ] screw but if you don't you've
41:09
just never [ __ ] doing that why would
41:13
you yeah yes no I can't find it but but that sounds like something that uh it it
41:19
was this futuristic sci-fi alien world type thing and yeah I just cannot
41:24
remember the name of it for my life sounds amazing this just Cly sounds like
41:27
something I'd be into he asked my father he was the one
41:31
who really played it okay well yeah get
41:34
your dad on he know for sure yeah um I've barely played any games at
41:41
all this week to be honest and in fact I've not even booted up my Xbox but I
41:45
did go online to have a look at the new
41:48
UI that Xbox has uh updated to I assume
41:52
you you've seen it I've been testing it
41:56
for quite some time oh sure um from what I've seen I don't mind it at all
42:01
actually bit I think it's turned into a big ad but I actually find this yeah
42:05
once you learn how to use it it's actually so much easier so when you say
42:10
a big ad it's because when you're scrolling through games it changes your
42:14
wallpaper to be scenes from those games stuff like that games there also a big
42:18
focus on like what's popular at the moment which is just bestselling games
42:23
and Game Pass is very prominent but no I find it very easy to get to library now
42:27
and your game store and the store and oh it's great but yeah people just don't
42:33
like it I don't know why look I mean if you don't like it I'm pretty sure it's
42:38
very very customiz customizable customizable uh and you can you can
42:44
pretty much I think this is what some with I think when it turned on it got
42:49
rid of a lot of people's like they already C set up their own okay
42:54
right yeah yeah right okay I will like when I first started using this I didn't
42:59
like it okay but once you get used to it and learn it it actually I can't think
43:03
of a single new interface on any system whatsoever that I have liked from the
43:08
start it's always annoys me the day I have to to change no one likes change
43:15
that's right but no I I say for people out there who don't like it just give it
43:20
a moment you get used to it very quickly and I helped test
43:24
this right yeah on it yes okay I gave feedback cuz at the very start it was
43:30
actually quite hard to find the store oh right we're just going to put
43:35
it on every screen and we're just going to force you to look at it all the whole
43:38
time no they've actually now at the top of the screen you can very quickly get
43:42
to the there's some little quick there's a quick links right yeah but at when
43:46
they first released it it wasn't there and I had a hard time like because the
43:52
first thing I do every day when I log on to the Xbox what's the new game that's
43:56
come out sure that's the first thing I do it's weird I don't go for what game
44:01
am I playing it's is there anything new no no no I do no I do that with films
44:04
and stuff too I do that if I go to Netflix I always try to look at what's
44:08
new rather I want to see if there's something better than what I'm currently
44:10
in the middle of but I I I but because of this I can actually now brag about
44:16
something go ahead I did something that I didn't think I'd ever be able to
44:22
do I'm now currently seventh in Australia for Gam scho seven finally
44:28
bypassed eight which I thought would be impossible you thought getting to eight
44:32
was impossible I've heard you say it
44:35
seven seven and now I man now I'm even
44:40
thinking I could get to six if I really really committed like six is
44:46
still what is it 990,000 gamer score away was there something specific that
44:53
allowed you to get to Seven from eight was there oh here's the thing so I've
44:58
been discussing it on the saile podcast as well they think I've killed [Music]
45:04
him right yeah um the thing is the guy who was in seventh hasn't gotten an
45:10
achievement since the 18th of June ah right so I don't know what's happened
45:16
yet Sarah and er a girlfriend probably right yeah he maybe got a life but
45:22
yeah his wife had a baby that'll be the end of it yeah no more game for you
45:28
that's the only thing I yeah cuz he's just stopped I don't know why but yeah that's
45:34
how I passed him he just stopped it's only been six weeks and I trust me I put
45:38
on like 100,000 in the last couple of months like I've been okay just need to introduce
45:45
some available women to yes numbers six and five and see if we can get you the
45:51
top five uh look I don't think top five's possible well you didn't think
45:56
top 10 was possible now you're seven okay but yeah like
46:00
look so I'm at 1,
46:04
790,000 guy [ __ ] chin doctor is uh 1.8
46:12
million 50 is 2 million or 2.1 million
46:16
so that's why 50 is incredible 50 is I need to quit my job and just play
46:22
games six I think it's possible well let's do six let's get to
46:28
six because the problem is is why he's there while I'm getting achievements
46:33
he's also getting achievements and we're also getting the same quick achievements
46:36
with new games that come out yeah yeah you're both exploiting whatever
46:40
loopholes you can yes yeah yeah yeah yeah like games that come out that are
46:46
you can get AIO CHS in half hour and then they release a title update that
46:50
give you another thousand gamer score which is complete two more
46:54
levels right they're cracking down that though yeah yeah unfortunately but also
47:01
I'm okay with them cracking down on it yeah I mean it's not going to put you
47:06
at a specific disadvantage everyone's gonna have to play by the same rules so
47:11
yeah and I'm doing this some people get upset that you're basically buying
47:14
achievements with some of these games yeah I mean maybe but everyone can buy
47:20
achievements so yeah like a problem I mean playing that many games
47:26
is N Cheap anyway so I mean there's no no one in the top 10
47:30
is is in in the third world going I just I can't afford you know what I'm saying like
47:36
they've got you got to spend money you got to spend money on this anyway it's
47:40
it's a expensive hobby I think quite a few of people in front of me are
47:43
probably getting a lot of these games for free yeah okay yeah you could be right
47:48
well I don't know man I think at number seven you should be getting these games
47:51
for free too I think I think it's time now to start exploiting this in whatever
47:56
way we can I I've still got this horrible thing because I do get offers
48:00
every now and again and I feel bad because normally the time when you
48:05
get the offer for a free game it's from a little Indie developer or publisher
48:10
well I'll have I'll happily pay for this to support you regardless yeah like it
48:13
it's Triple A yeah no fine you can afford it but no someone releasing their
48:18
first game or yeah they Little Indie and they're just making fun I I feel bad and
48:24
so money is not the problem for you time is your problem if they were giving away
48:30
time to play the game you would you would eat that up I'll take that in a
48:32
second yeah it'll be like we're going to give you an eth day every week for you
48:36
to just play games You' be like [ __ ] give me thank you
48:40
yep yeah so I haven't played any games at all this week really but what I have
48:45
been doing is watching a lot of TV okay so I watched uh the entirity of season
48:51
16 of Always Sunny God that's good which
48:55
was great now 15 was good because it was one coherent story and I love that 16 is
49:02
good because it isn't that it goes back to just every episode is completely
49:07
Standalone random I laugh out loud in every episode at least once only thing
49:13
that's bugging me is the lighting the lighting is so weird it
49:19
does look I know why think they're getting old everyone's
49:24
got a bit more makeup on we have to bit with the photography everything in HD
49:29
camera's not forgiving and they are getting but it just annoys me it just
49:35
I'm okay with people looking older it's funny like every third episode you'll
49:39
see the bar and I'll be like man why even bother having that bar set you're
49:43
never in there anymore like all it's all just like on location now um but I I
49:50
realized this is the journey I went on with with always sunny right when I
49:54
first started watching it I thought Charlie Day was the funny one I thought
49:58
he was essentially the main character of this Ensemble show he was he was always
50:02
delivering the zingers he I thought he had the most Charisma and then at a
50:07
certain point I started going now Max's the funny one cuz he's the idiot and he
50:10
thinks he's cool but he isn't so he is the the uncoolest cool guy and and and
50:16
he and then of course Rob melan who plays him started doing other stuff and
50:19
I'm like no this guy at this point I think Glenn Howton is not only the best
50:25
actor in the show but I think he's one of the best working actors
50:32
today and I can back this up because I then watched everything else that he's
50:38
been in this week as well so uh this is a juliard trained
50:44
classical thespian right who's just found he was the after of the group he
50:49
was he found himself working in sitcoms but have you ever seen another sitcom
50:54
called AP Bio yes I love this show I had never heard of it
51:00
up until two days ago now watched the entirety of the first season listen if
51:05
you haven't heard this Glenn Halton stars as a disgraced Harvard Professor
51:09
who has to teach at a high school and it's light it's not particularly
51:15
subversive or edgy um but I it is
51:20
hilarious laugh out loud hilarious well me he's pretty much playing his same
51:25
character just guess yeah and in fact you know those
51:30
couple of seasons of Always Sunny where he is not in it as much doing AP Bio
51:36
yeah exactly but my brain also thinks that this is just him him yes just just
51:42
away from Philadelphia for a bit right um but I also watched the blackbery
51:48
movie where he stars as one of the co-founders of black bre the
51:54
phone um this this is an excellent movie by the way um '90s probably leans a
52:01
little too heavy into the period stuff like you know when they do movies in the
52:05
80s and 90s about nerds and like everyone's always got a Ninja Turtles
52:10
shirt on and you know what I mean like it's just it's just a little but but
52:14
then again you you're wearing a Star Wars droids shirt right now
52:18
so so maybe it's just dead accurate but but other other than that there the
52:24
that's the only thing and there's this weird point where they talk about um
52:27
John karmac and they say he's from ID instead of saying he's from ID which I
52:32
yeah which I thought was but then again back in the 90s I think I used to think
52:37
it was called ID too cuz I didn't know what an ID was back then because I knew
52:40
nothing of Freud or psychology or anything yeah so yeah maybe maybe
52:45
there's method to that Madness um but it's an excellent movie Glenn Howton is
52:50
excellent at it he's he's so uncool he he's got he's like they've shaved the
52:55
kind of Monk hair do so he looks like he's receding and he plays an absolute
52:59
prick okay um he's he's the guy who's like you know there's the brains behind
53:05
blackberry and then the the money he plays the money so he he just cares
53:10
about the bottom line and and he's an absolute cun y that would he could do
53:14
that well yeah but they're talking about they're talking about Oscar nom for him
53:20
for this role okay maybe I should have a look at it then even though I normally
53:24
don't like Oscar movies this is not an Oscar movie okay I guess it could be
53:29
because it's got those Feelgood moments in it and but it's it's
53:34
more I I'd say it's it's did you watch the tetris movie from no I need to oh
53:40
yeah you got to watch that too tonally they're incredibly similar you know like
53:43
just I'm sure it was definitely not as as exciting as this to make Tetris all
53:48
the Blackberry you know what I mean but they they make it look like you missed
53:53
out on a cultural Movement by not being one of the I would just say bio like it
53:57
goes before Seasons yeah where it starts a struggle is the children
54:02
age ah right yeah because he only you
54:07
ever only ever seen teaching one class a high school teacher only teaches hourong
54:12
classes so he's not going to be with them for the whole day and you assume or
54:17
even every day of the week but you only ever see him teach one class I don't
54:21
know maybe second season it's only that one class but you see they replace some
54:26
some you can actually go I can see your 5:00 shadow I think that's where they
54:31
that show struggles a bit but some of the characters do get even better they
54:36
go interesting yeah right like the the nerdy girl glasses amazing love her
54:43
throughout she's already amazing yeah right I have a feeling she's 30 years
54:46
old I think that actress is actually much older than she's playing but on a
54:49
on a girl who doesn't matter so much that that episode where he starts dating
54:55
that one kid mom and um he he comes into class and he's like did you bang your
55:01
mom last night he's like no he's like well neither did I cuz you were making
55:04
too much noise upstairs
55:06
like it's oh it's so good it's so good Matt if you're listening back and you
55:12
don't know what this is you should you should get on this [ __ ] too um I also
55:16
watched one more Glenn Howton film this week it's called The Thief collector um
55:21
this was interesting because it's actually a documentary and he only
55:25
appears in the Recreations right this is a true story of this old couple who
55:31
lived like in a trailer park in middle of America somewhere and when they died
55:36
like in their 70s or whatever you know in America you can buy someone's whole
55:41
estate and then just start selling off their stuff yeah
55:45
like yeah if there's no one there it's just
55:50
yeah exactly so that's what this was these guys had this trailer and it was
55:55
full of junk and so these two dudes who make a living by just buying uh storage
55:59
containers and stuff like that and then selling them off they bought it they
56:03
noticed there was heaps of paintings in it right so they they took the paintings
56:07
to a secondhand store and they said oh do you want any of these you know maybe
56:11
five bucks each or whatever and they went oh no these aren't very good um but
56:14
this one though I'll give you 200 grand for and they were like what and they
56:19
went she went oh this is a very very famous painting and they were like what
56:25
and they realized they were all very famous paintings and this couple were
56:30
art thieves and they've been traveling around the world going to Muse museums
56:35
and stealing these expensive works of art and they just coming home and
56:39
hanging them in their house not bragging not trying to sell them and make money
56:43
just put them in their house that makes a sense cuz like if you Ste art and then
56:49
you try to sell on well yeah like people know yeah but I I find it amazing that
56:54
like this store went I give when they could have G yeah I'll take I'll just
56:58
take the lot for $5 each yeah ex exactly
57:02
right exactly um it's a little bit more Nuance than that but but yes essentially
57:07
that is but but then they they start getting these appraised and then people
57:10
start going this is a painting that disappeared in like the 80s you know and
57:15
then they were like where did it disappear from oh from a Paris art
57:17
gallery and they're like uh in 1987 this
57:20
couple were in Paris like and they work
57:24
out that all of these paintings are from from galleries stolen Across America and
57:30
around the world and also they found out that this guy had written a book
57:36
couldn't get it published ended up self-publishing it so they get a copy of
57:39
this book and it's a bunch of short stories about this kind of international
57:44
jet Setter cool spy dude explain how he
57:48
sto correct or one story talks about
57:53
killing this guy who went missing in real life and they're like well we can pretty much
57:58
assume that he did kill this guy oh my God yeah so Glen Howton plays him and
58:05
like in real life he's not handsome like Glenn Howard like Glenn howon plays him
58:09
as he appears in the short stories where he's like an idealized version of
58:13
himself yeah um and it's very good and it's it's interesting it's very
58:18
interesting look I I'm going to say that from that cast I will say who I think is
58:23
the better actor and and that is David Hornsby yeah
58:28
I can I agree with that too and in fact he's he's now got an a producer credit
58:33
on um Always Sunny now too I noticed this season so at a certain point he
58:38
must have gotten involved but he's a comical genius he he is because like
58:42
because this where I think he's a little bit different like Glenn stuff because
58:44
Glenn he's playing the same yeah true D everything he's in he's different in
58:50
every single show he's in oh yeah yeah there's there's been times where it's
58:54
taken me multiple episodes of a new show before I realized oh [ __ ] that's that's
58:59
him yeah yeah so I say I'm going to say I'm going to say he's the better actor
59:03
I'm sorry fuing Cricket in this in this season where I think he's only in one
59:07
episode but he's pimping out that young boy
59:13
like go and turn around show them the goods it's so getting better and better
59:19
yeah I'm scared that we only do have two more seasons left I know that episode in
59:25
it's several seasons ago but remembering this white where Cricket gets a
59:31
girlfriend then at the end of the episode you find that he's just he's so
59:35
smacked out that he's actually just with a
59:38
dog which is he's been part of dog or before so it's it's
59:44
yeah because like at the moment like yes they've said that they renewed for at
59:49
least two more seasons and they could easily get renewed from all but I think
59:53
I don't think they will continue well for the next two I think it's just going
59:56
to be I can't believe it has yeah that's right yeah
1:00:01
cuz you know that um melan is buying more sports teams now right like like
1:00:06
he's he's just going he's leaning into that he brought rexam
1:00:11
FC them up to another league and now he's what Alpine
1:00:16
F1 yeah which that cannot be
1:00:20
cheap no1 no no correct correct yeah
1:00:26
it's it's uh it's it's one of the most
1:00:29
expensive so I me that's why only you know couple of dozen car manufacturers
1:00:36
even have teams you know what I mean in the F1 yeah so is is and I think they
1:00:41
goal is probably do the same as what they did with rexam to get them promoted
1:00:45
to get this team that's I don't follow one they're not great are they no
1:00:51
there's there's there's kind of four teams that will always win or come in
1:00:56
the top four and then there's a dozen teams that are basically competing for
1:01:02
last place so so I think he's there to try I think he's going to try and do
1:01:07
they're going to now be the fifth team that so there's five teams that are
1:01:10
always at the top yeah I think proba make another show yeah I
1:01:16
believe so let me just uh cuz they're all buddy buddy even
1:01:23
though they only met when they went had want to buy a team with me yeah and
1:01:29
apparently they kind of only did it because they were like they both were
1:01:32
kind of friends of one another sorry fans of one another and they were like
1:01:37
it would be good to be friends yeah you know
1:01:43
um okay so I've got here the first AR
1:01:46
comes up I say is F1 iom SL L points 1.3
1:01:51
million bill $1.3 billion do deal Ry
1:01:54
Ryan Reynolds with Ryan Reynolds so I
1:01:58
think billion Jesus Christ billion see I've got here I've got a I've got a much
1:02:03
more conservative figure here 218 million but that that seems too low to
1:02:08
me yeah maybe that's Euros um yeah 1.3 billion
1:02:14
seems also seems a bit low but they're not a they're not a a a great team but
1:02:19
they're not they're certainly not I mean they're not bad enough that you would
1:02:22
think you'd just pick them up for cheap put it that way yeah yeah
1:02:27
Al this is yes so it's 200 million
1:02:32
euro yeah 200 million euro I guess that's a lot of money Point secure a 200
1:02:36
million euro cash injection from a group of investors including actor Ryan Reynolds
1:02:42
melan melan will be in part of that lucrative Investments have helped him
1:02:46
amass a net worth of about $50 million that doesn't sound like that much but
1:02:51
then again I don't know I mean so don't get me wrong I don't have $50 million
1:02:54
but a million isn't what it used to be no see it's weird for million million
1:03:00
dollars for us is still quite a lot 50 million it's
1:03:05
unimaginable yeah but rich people I used to think if you had a million dollars
1:03:10
you were rich now if you have a million dollars it just means he bought a house
1:03:13
in Sydney like if you have a million dollars you're very comfortable because
1:03:18
you own your house and then you you just you still got to work because yeah I
1:03:23
mean I owe a million dollars to a bank yeah uh I mean I'm still mind blown that
1:03:28
they would give me that much money imagine if you didn't owe that how
1:03:32
awesome would your life be mate like the strangle hold of the banks
1:03:38
