welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt it's all
0:08
bit hearty so I don't really understand it Luke is that a little sashwat penis
0:14
Dan I accidentally got soap in my urethra multiple nerdgasm your guide to
0:21
All Things
0:25
nerdy oh as long as it's fine for you then Matt
0:30
was it not good for you Dad it's always good for
0:34
me short and quick you calling Dan short
0:38
no just quick right well the shoe fits so where do we want to start today
0:43
gentlemen we've got a lot to talk about we do there a lot of news here um man
0:48
that first one caught my attention instantly yes you mean pop star bitten
0:53
by snake on stage and sings on until she dies yeah and then I was like what's
0:58
that about and then I read the article and I mean it really is just
1:00
self-explanatory yeah yeah but I mean it's so ridiculous that you're like this
1:05
really happen but the crazy thing is already it's illegal to do it but they
1:10
sort of just turn a blind eye to it yeah look the things that are illegal in
1:16
Indonesia are either not quite really illegal or really [ __ ]
1:23
illegal and I guess having live cobas on stage when you sing which was the uh the
1:29
mo of Irma bule Indonesian pop singer it's
1:33
a thing he can't call her on it no uh and in a gig last week she got bitten by
1:39
one cuz she stood on its tail bit her on the thigh releasing its toxic venom into
1:44
her and then Show Must Go On so instead of uh instead of having paused the show
1:50
to go and get the antivenom that was standing by y she decided to just push
1:55
on until she started vomiting and spasming on stage and eventually died I
2:01
remember seeing something about this um evidently it wasn't one of her
2:06
snakes it was a snake that a fan had given her what people just bringing
2:12
snakes to the gig are they and she was led to believe that it was either
2:16
defanged or had the poison taken out right neither she obviously knew it
2:20
wasn't defanged because it's got a they've got a screen grab here of a
2:23
Handler attempting to detach it from her yeah so I mean at that point she should
2:28
have figured out that it had fangs but yeah guys can you just hold on for 20
2:34
minutes while I just run out get this little injection I'll be back yes like I
2:38
don't know she must not have realized like there's no way that you would CLE
2:41
be like clearly she didn't just go [ __ ] it no exactly it's but then how could
2:46
she not I don't know man if F I don't care if I thought a snake had been de
2:50
venomed if a snake bit me a king cobra bit me they would be like do you want to
2:55
stop and get the antivenom i' be like yeah obviously yeah because this is the
3:01
thing if you were watching this and you're like man she's just kept singing
3:04
until she's died like why didn't we have some anti venom there and the first aid
3:09
guy is going to be like I had it I offered it to her she said no thanks
3:14
that's the other thing too and then he went all right yeah I guess what no I'm
3:19
shutting this down what I think is she's probably had been bitten quite a few times so she
3:26
probably does have some not immunity it's definitely not immunity some resist
3:30
to it so she may have thought had the Venom taken out so there's probably a
3:33
little bit of Venom there but I should be fine yeah maybe look are you looking
3:37
at this picture I mean I I get that singing with snakes is an oddity right
3:43
but it's not much to look at no that impressive slithering around ground
3:49
level she's just amongst them singing does she I don't know does she pick them
3:54
up or anything yeah look I'm looking through some other footage of her and
3:58
they're definitely draped around her and she's doing all sorts of tricks and
4:01
they're doing that thing where they stand up and flare out their cheeks see
4:06
that that would be a more impressive photo than this this screen capture
4:09
which is yeah I think yeah pretty boring yeah I think the cityne Morning Herald
4:14
has just fallen short on uh on reporting
4:18
the impressiveness of this show not us no no we'll com at this from all
4:25
angles yeah well that's tragic uh and a bit silly but definitely tragic yeah
4:32
yeah some Reports say she didn't realize she had suffered a life-threatening bite
4:37
obviously because she would have done something about it yeah she just thought
4:40
it was a run-ofthe-mill snake bite yeah yeah any of you guys ever been bitten by
4:45
a snake no no no me either
4:48
spider yeah yeah but not snake mosquito
4:54
mosito yeah been bit by a snake B by lizards and other things but not a snake
4:58
you've been bitten by lizard yeah I it was my fault I was attempting to catch
5:05
the lizard okay yeah yeah my brother and I used to catch uh like water dragons
5:11
Eastern water dragons uh it's not not doesn't look like a dragon for those of
5:14
you who aren't in Australia it looks well it looks like a little baby dragon
5:19
they're very cool uh so nipped by
5:22
them uh but yeah nothing nothing serious I'm not sure I've even been bitten by a
5:27
dog really I don't think I've been bitten by dog either not even nipped oh
5:32
you know like puppies get over friendly and they have a bit of a chew yeah I've
5:38
I've had that I've even had that happen with like dogs but not never a dog bite
5:43
yeah I me I've had that happen with children I think got bitten enough for
5:47
all of us he took one for the rest of us he sure did to the face we had to talk
5:54
about that would he get upset if we talked about that I don't think he
5:57
listens to this podcast Matt I think you can go right ahead go for it okay maybe
6:00
we should beep out the name that I said then all right just in case but an
6:05
unnamed friend of ours was Bitten on the face by a vicious vicious sound
6:11
yeah from the Mexican city of
6:17
chihuaha yeah and why did it bite him Matt CU he was being a dick yeah cuz he
6:23
bit it first H classic it was a sleep on the
6:30
pillow next to him he decided to startle it by going and it woke up and bit him on the
6:36
face split his lip all the way up to his
6:40
nose oh it's funny now but it was funny then yeah it was funny for us right at
6:47
the time and then 45 minutes later obviously
6:52
he died of poisoning yeah he thought it was a defanged Dev venomed
6:58
Chihuahua was just a chel one of his fans had brought which apparently is
7:03
allowed and there's there's no follow-up questions asked yeah just toss them up on the
7:08
stage if You' got them [ __ ] snakes is this where I bought the snakes yeah mate
7:14
just throw up beer yeah oh I've been pooped on by a snake really does that
7:19
count yeah at uh it counts as something remember when Wonderland used to have
7:24
the reptile Park oh yeah or the the Wildlife Park rather yeah uh they were
7:29
doing a demonstration there and you know they passed them around and stuff and I
7:32
think it was it was like a children's python or something and uh children's
7:36
python yeah a baby python or that's the name of it what do you me it's a type of
7:41
python it's a type of python oh okay right children's py let me fact check
7:46
that it's not that I don't believe you Matt but I am going to double check that
7:50
it's it's real it came up second when I typed in children's yeah yeah what came
7:55
up first and looking at it that's almost certainly what it was uh I had hold of
7:58
it and then of a sudden some liquid came out of it yeah it was not nice and the
8:04
guy went ah sorry about that now did he give you anything to
8:09
wipe up with or yeah yeah yeah they did they went got me some paper towel the uh
8:14
the pictures I'm looking at this python coiled up can fit in the palm of a
8:19
child's hand is that is that the size just so that the listeners can can
8:24
Envision this I think they get a bit bigger than that do they I think they
8:28
are they can be that small oh no no no they're pretty small cuz I've got one
8:32
here saying full size and uh it's about
8:36
the size of a medium siiz worm I don't think they're that small look I can look
8:41
at a there's a photo of one biting somebody there like yeah they're small
8:46
Matt I'm pasting this picture in under segments news you you tell me if this is
8:53
what attacked you attacked me is [ __ ] on me no they're
8:59
bigger than than that that's nothing re you were also smaller at the time I wasn't that
9:04
small well listeners I'm going to paste this uh this picture here into the show
9:08
notes so you can see y that's
9:12
fine I'm just checking size look yeah there's one that's size of hang on
9:19
python parenting you know what this is this is not interesting we'll find some
9:22
uh we'll find some pictures look maybe that's not the type of python it was the
9:26
important part is it's [ __ ] on me I don't know the problem
9:30
all right is there any other animals that have [ __ ] on
9:33
us um yeah Birds obviously obviously they do enjoy that yeah I got [ __ ] on in
9:39
New Town you think about that I haven't been [ __ ] on by a bird in like 20 years
9:44
or something yeah I can't if I ever have it so long ago that I couldn't remember
9:48
an exact time I do remember a time I was on a date with a girl when she got shot
9:53
on by a bird and she was so mortified she went home I thought you were going to
9:57
say I with a girl and she shed on me I don't know what kind of dates you
10:04
go on Matt but I think we might move in different circles you normally pay extra for
10:09
that I pay extra to ensure that doesn't happen look I'm slipping in an extra 50
10:15
love and I just want this to be all above board mhm no poopies none of none
10:21
of the Madam stuff here I can't think of any other animals
10:26
that have pooped on me that doesn't mean they aren't they out there but I can't
10:30
think of any doesn't mean that some uh don't have plans that you don't know
10:33
about yeah I don't think you get pooped on a lot by think she stepping
10:40
it is this the podcast are we I mean are we just talking about animal [ __ ] now is
10:44
that what this podcast is or maybe we should maybe start the
10:48
podcast yeah yeah yeah let's let's let's get started shall we we need we we got
10:53
any nerd news we just going to talk about weird stuff well we do we do have nerd news
11:00
where do you want to start with that if we want to move on I thought we could go
11:02
straight to the weird stuff still we go number two on the list number two oh God
11:09
this one man recreates dead lover as sex doll this is one of those articles that
11:14
you think what a wacky story until you read it and then it's just heartbreaking
11:19
yeah it's sad so for the listeners this man spent
11:23
15,000 which is 30 odd Grand in uh
11:27
non-british Monies Australian and
11:31
Singaporean oh yeah of uh getting exact
11:35
replica made of his dead L after the two of them MH were hideously muled in a car
11:41
accident uh during which she died yeah it took 18 months to create it at uh
11:47
this sex shop in Italy that's where you
11:50
got to go yep yeah movies or sex dolls of your dead
11:55
lovers uh and the guy at the shop says I'm sure there's a tragic story behind
11:59
this this uh she died as a result of some accident the man was involved as
12:02
well he's got scars from what looks like burns on his face and his arms and when
12:07
he showed them the photographs uh he was in tears and then uh when they he says
12:12
when they delivered the doll to his house there were several photos of the
12:15
young woman dotted around but he was delighted with the finished
12:20
product yeah well apparently he had it matched to her exact height weight body
12:25
measurements hair color but it look here's the thing I
12:31
mean it's a sex doll but I mean if he loved her that much
12:37
he's obviously not just [ __ ] this thing I mean I'm imagining he props it
12:40
up at the dinner table every night yeah I see that's I can't help but think as
12:45
well if it's if he's that upset then there's probably more to this and a man
12:49
it's just a bit not a bit it's a lot creepy not creep it is creepy but I mean
12:56
it's sad it's sad is what I'm trying to not as creepy he did it if this was just
13:00
his ex though I think that would be a lot creepier well if she just dumped I know
13:06
a replica made yeah yeah went fine I don't need you I've got your replacement
13:12
right here and then and then it would be creepy if they then bumped into each
13:16
other while he was out with his sex doll that he had made of her at dinner and he
13:21
was like oh good this is uh this is my new girlfriend
13:27
you I've posted some more pictures of us
13:31
the Instagram and some various adult sites yeah there is a a forum or was a
13:37
forum for people who who live and have
13:41
relationships with their real dolls or their the equivalent of of that whatever
13:47
that is and and they share their stories and photographs of of them at dinner and
13:53
wow you know watching the football together and stuff like that but instead
13:57
of spending they not cheap no no neither are women this this is anything but
14:04
cheap I tell you if I added up all the money I've ever spent on women my entire
14:08
life I could buy quite a few of these $30,000 sex bots you know what I
14:13
mean yeah or one of those anime pillows it's not a sex bot it's a doll right if
14:20
it's a sex bot maybe Oh you mean because it would actually participate whereas this thing
14:26
just kind of Lies there yeah well you know oh that's how I like it
14:30
Matt yeah I think I think Dan pays extra for that as
14:36
well oh this is sad though like as in I I think maybe they should have told him
14:42
to seek some sort of therapy maybe rather than just give him a [ __ ] fake
14:47
version of his dead I think that really goes above and beyond their duties as
14:52
sex shot workers um but their business
14:56
is selling them yeah I know know I know it just seems like rather than
15:03
talking to the newspaper about how funny it was yeah yeah that's fair any other mental
15:10
illness news today no there is actually go on remember we spoke about Jake Lloyd
15:15
a little while ago we did oh yeah last time we saw him you got a little bit
15:20
arrested yeah he was in a highs speed chase with police right yep yeah they
15:24
didn't let him off when he went this is POD
15:27
racing yeah well he's no longer in jail okay which is pretty good
15:34
except fact that it's not because he's out of jail to go live at home he's now
15:41
in a psychiatric facility right right okay and why is that it's believe he's
15:47
suffering from schizophrenia MH right so I sort of like
15:51
moved him over to there to get a bit of help I wonder if in some way directly or
15:58
indirectly George Lucas is kind of to blame for
16:02
this you know I honestly think it has something to do with Star
16:07
Wars really he was not good in that he was not no no no no but because he was so
16:14
young he was terrible in it and then had to grow up with everyone saying he was
16:19
terrible at least I met best like was an adult before everyone started hating on
16:25
him and now he kind of comes out and goes yeah I wish I didn't play Jaa Binks
16:29
but what are you going to do whereas Jake Lloyd like if I bumped into him in
16:34
the streets even as an old man years from now I'd still be like H you're that
16:39
shitty child actor you know well there were even times where he was being
16:42
compared to sort of playing the devil in interviews not playing the devil but
16:49
like as because he so bad anything but how do you feel like playing someone
16:53
who's so evil cuz he's going to become dartha right right and a kid at that age
16:58
I don't think could really deal with that but I don't think you can get schizophrenia from
17:04
from just being sad about the fact that you were in a [ __ ] movie can you I mean
17:08
I'm no doctor is that well then stay out of this is he actually
17:14
schizophrenic or is he just you know depressed because he is he is he
17:19
schizophrenic or is that just what TMZ is saying here although you would think
17:23
if he's been moved from a prison to a psychiatric hospital he probably does
17:26
suffer from some kind of mental liit yeah you would think
17:30
so I would like to hope that anybody they take a psychiatric facility from
17:35
prison has a mental illness yeah although I probably try to fake that I
17:40
was crazy to get out of prison I think a mental hospital would be
17:44
marginally easier to deal with on a daily basis wouldn't you think um these
17:49
days perhaps I would not survive in
17:54
prison not at all yeah you don't get electroshock treatment these days I
17:59
no so just bull eye your W rat that's a
18:05
plus yeah look poor Jake Lloyd cuz did he ever do anything I don't think so I
18:11
didn't I think we went through it last time yeah he did Star Wars and then
18:16
disappeared what what can you do I mean Hayden Christensen tried to be in other
18:20
movies and even he couldn't do it and he's not a bad actor he just had a
18:23
terrible role yeah he had a few I think but yeah I don't know what he does now
18:28
yeah I think he's a good actor if you do three well sorry two Star Wars films in
18:33
in Hayden christensen's case do you have to do anything else after that you got
18:38
to include remember the end of Return of the Jedi right okay so he would have
18:41
been paid for that as well like does he does he have to do anything ever again
18:45
let's hope he made enough money that he could you know invest it in some shares
18:48
and set himself up for the future I mean people that played bit Parts in the
18:51
first Star Wars movie make their living now from going on the convention circuit
18:56
you know yeah totally so I'd say one way other there's a way to make money out of
19:00
it see I reckon if I got paid what Harrison Ford got paid for the force
19:04
awakens I don't think I would have to work again yeah yeah if I didn't want to
19:09
but I mean they're not making what he's making because they weren't Harrison
19:12
Ford they were you know nobodies at the time when they when they did the Star
19:17
Wars films that's right so I'm just wondering you know people like say haen
19:21
CHR well christon had acted before right he's been in other stuff but I assume he
19:25
was he was not a high paid celebrity no cuz I think I think people are you know
19:32
under the misconception that all celebrities get paid a lot and that's
19:35
not true they don't necessarily no only the I remember when Diane whis came out
19:40
and said that she's moving out of her apartment because she can't afford to uh
19:44
to live and not that she's an A-list but like I've seen Dian whis in like
19:48
Infinity movies you know right yeah yeah so it's it's like the the there's a very
19:54
small percentage of stars that get paid what say Harrison Ford gets paid yeah
19:59
yeah but speaking of like What actors that were in the original movies that
20:04
sort of make that living going to conventions and thing David
20:08
prows might not be as much on the outer anymore is that true um I'm just going
20:15
off something I saw on Instagram from Mark Hamill oh right there's a picture
20:20
of him and David PR the star feda and the caption is Dave PR's always H the
20:25
photo shoots never double he doesn't get enough credit for awesome physical
20:29
presence H and so I'm just thinking cuz now that George has gone and there was
20:34
really that he maybe not as pushed out as he once was yeah maybe yeah cuz he
20:40
and George didn't get along well he's not playing Vader in Rogue one someone
20:45
El is yes someone who's actually three in taller than he is oh apparently
20:52
that's but he he's elderly now anyway isn't he yeah he wouldn't be able to do
20:56
it he wouldn't need to stunt double yeah yeah well I mean we've got some
21:01
Rogue One news in here as well of a sort by news you mean that the [ __ ]
21:06
[ __ ] on the internet are going [ __ ] crazy because Star Wars has
21:10
another woman in the lead role oh how could they do it I can't help but wonder
21:16
about these things like I know everyone makes a fuss about them like they did
21:20
the same thing with people who didn't want like women or black people in the
21:25
force awakens I'm still confused about why people upset about Finn being here
21:30
are there actually enough people saying this that it's really a thing or did
21:35
like some idiot somewhere say it as a joke and then a bunch of other people
21:38
dog piled on it as a joke hope and then everyone else made a big deal out of it
21:43
like does anyone actually think this no I mean let's let's let's hope it is just
21:48
a misunderstanding yeah right cuz I know I just I
21:53
don't understand why you would care like it's a hot chick in [ __ ] badass
21:59
Imperial Armor like I would rather watch this Than Jake
22:04
Lloyd well I'd rather watch a lot of things Than Jake Lloyd yeah were they my
22:10
my only two options no no no no I'm just saying I don't understand what the problem is
22:15
like who cares but like you know there's this tweet here is literally every Star
22:20
Wars going to just be some feminist propaganda how is it feminist propaganda
22:25
it's just people doing stuff in space like like did they
22:30
even like was there actually anything in in the force awakens that that you would
22:35
consider feminist propaganda yeah the whole thing any movie with a woman in it is feminist
22:40
propaganda right okay if you if if you want to see it that way well any woman
22:44
with a speaking Ro yeah right yeah these are people that don't know what feminism
22:49
is or propaganda
22:53
right yeah I don't know man I don't really give a [ __ ] I think this looks
22:57
great I will be there at midnight I like I prefer looking at women so sorry well
23:04
I don't go to Star Wars for a perv so I actually don't give a [ __ ] either way
23:08
exactly it's not what the movie's about unless it is we haven't seen it maybe
23:14
maybe that's what this Star Wars is probably not though yeah you know who
23:17
was great in the force awakens Ray and who else was great Finn
23:22
and who else is great kylo Ren and who else everybody it was great shut up yeah
23:27
yeah also Al there are other characters in this film I know they focused on her
23:32
in this trailer because I guess she is the protagonist but there are other
23:36
people in this film well I mean there were other people in Star Wars even
23:40
though Luke Skywalker was the main role and that wasn't menist propaganda was it
23:45
no of course well you don't need really need that well that's true was anyone
23:49
complaining that what's his name Forest WIA was in the trailer as well because
23:54
if you actually if you want to go down that road I guess there is there is
23:57
another similar already there cuz you've got a black person a black person and a white
24:04
chick sure I guess I wonder if people do people really think right that that
24:11
Disney sits there and goes how can we
24:14
piss these people off what casting would
24:18
really get their goats and that this film wasn't written
24:25
years and years ago yeah I don't know it's
24:30
weird all Disney care about is your money it's all any movie studio cares
24:36
about I question whether people actually really really think this like I know
24:41
people like this article is saying making making a a fuss about it but I
24:46
question whether people actually really care and whether it's just people being
24:50
shits on the internet yeah no I can I have seen that before where people have
24:54
actually picked up with a news story and it's been like one or two comments and
24:57
they've read this is the internet's upset about all these
25:00
people are upset but then you read through all the comments everything and
25:03
it's like one or two people yeah yeah cuz the other thing is if one person
25:07
says something whether it's meant as a joke or meant seriously and then you've
25:12
got a whole bunch of people who suddenly take a fence at it then they're the ones
25:16
blowing it out of proportion yeah like if you said to me
25:20
now that we've we've talked about that a little bit if you said to me hey did you
25:23
notice that Rogue one is another film with a male black actor and a female
25:27
white actor as the lead I go that is that is a weird coincidence right cuz
25:32
that's what it is and I'd say not really a coincidence they probably went okay
25:36
well everyone loved the young girl in this maybe we should do another one like
25:40
that's at work it's that but it can't be that because Force awakens wasn't out
25:46
yet when they cast or started shooting this yeah this seems pretty far along
25:51
doesn't it yeah it comes out at the end of the year it's like it was shot before
25:55
Force awakens came out definitely unless they are doing it intentionally case
25:58
okay fine I guess what weird yeah okay I don't seem doing attention I know what
26:05
they did was uh episode 8 and N got a bit of a rewrite because because people
26:10
liked Finn and and they went we need to have them in this more so some of the
26:17
extra characters aren't getting quite a big apart which is the opposite of what
26:20
people were apparently complaining about yeah yeah so now the film came out and
26:24
everyone was like we want more of those characters that we didn't want yeah
26:30
classic internet I'm still upset for the internet for screwing up my Xbox what
26:35
happened to your Xbox with the whole thing I can't share my digital games if
26:40
the internet just shut up would be much better place a man
26:46
people get so angry about everything now you know it's got to go on Twitter right
26:50
so it's got to be short so you can't really make a great argument so you've
26:54
just got to make the most uh scathing argument quickly and it's got to be in a format
27:01
that's that's easily retweetable like no one's going to retweet Luke's opinion
27:04
about most movies they should they should yes if I knew had a tweet did we
27:11
lose Dan Dan did you fall off the internet no I pressed
27:16
mute ah I made some really good points
27:20
too welcome back did you you can we can go back over him no no I didn't you're
27:26
lying weren't you you're lying yeah uh look what do you want to stay on things
27:30
people are angry about that are happening on the internet yeah all right let's get this
27:35
one out of the way uh some uh some people at the studio uh where they're
27:41
making the new Ghost in the Shell liveaction remake have come out and said
27:47
that uh they're using CGI to make white actors look more Asian to which the
27:53
internet said you [ __ ] serious where where are they coming from which
27:59
side are they upset about the fact that they're getting white characters to
28:03
place that are getting Hing Asian characters or just the fact that they're
28:08
making them Asian like character asan I think it was a test right that they
28:12
they've said that it was abandoned cuz it it didn't work but I'm like I mean I
28:17
would have thought almost immediately upon conceiving of the idea that it was
28:21
a bad idea yeah yeah that's right when we were sitting around the table and
28:25
somebody went we we could just use computers to make the white people look
28:28
Asian and then there'd be an awkward pause and then somebody'd say anyone
28:33
else can't see all going yeah okay let's try that and then they get the results
28:36
in and everyone's like hm yeah no that is that is racist uh yeah you think
28:41
someone in that group would bring up that recent arm Egyptian movie and all
28:46
the feedback that got Gods of Egypt yeah now that is a weird thing to do it it's
28:52
it's a long tradition in Hollywood to uh to just cast white people no matter what
28:59
the subject matter I that's just what they it's good or bad that's what they
29:03
do uh maybe they would have copped less Flack if they changed the setting of
29:08
this so it wasn't still set in Japan yeah oh is it still set in Japan yeah
29:14
yeah as far as I can tell it's exactly just the manga but with with Scarlet
29:20
Johansson in a black wig that is a weird thing to do yeah I don't know she's a
29:26
name yeah I know yeah yeah I know I'm sure there's a million reasons why they
29:31
did it but it's stupid cuz here's the thing right name your top three favorite
29:36
famous Japanese actresses
29:39
Go Japanese actresses
29:44
exactly I can't even think of Japanese
29:48
actress Michelle yo Chinese isn't she she sounds Chinese chines that is but
29:55
she sounds Chinese like yeah this is not saying that there aren't like a lot of
30:00
talented Japanese actresses who could do this role but they don't have her name
30:05
that's going to bring the audience that's all it is I think Michelle yo is
30:09
Chinese Malaysian so yeah I lose Chinese Malaysian means you're Chinese and you live in
30:15
Malaysia yeah yeah so it's not Japanese then not
30:20
Japanese no oh okay never mind no but yeah I think making Scarlett Johansson
30:26
look I mean if you're going to do that just cast some Asian people it's
30:29
probably the best way to do that it's probably cheaper yeah if you really if
30:33
you really like a Japanese story so much that you want to turn it into a movie
30:37
then I think there's a certain responsibility to make efforts to stay true to the source
30:44
material I mean I [ __ ] I don't know cuz they're not going to film it in
30:47
Japan either it's going to be filmed in a sound stage in Hollywood so I don't
30:50
know I mean maybe maybe there's nothing wrong with this I don't know it is weird
30:56
was it the uh the Snow White yeah movie where they cast uh you know like made
31:03
digital midgets just yeah exactly well they didn't right they made digital
31:08
dwarves right and I guess it is an odd
31:12
one that because they're not you know little people they're dwarves they're
31:17
mythical creatures not you know dwarves exist right but I'm saying they weren't
31:24
those kind of dwarves they were the mythical creature dwarves right yeah is
31:29
there or is there actually not a distinction that you're supposed to make
31:33
I don't feel qualified to comment actually I don't know that is a legit
31:37
that is a genuine question right if I say oh you know the dwarves and Lord of
31:41
the Rings right and then if you say you know because you you don't call them
31:45
dwarfes either anymore do you just call them what do you call you know yeah I
31:49
think you're allowed to say dwarf you're allowed to say dwarf so Peter Dinklage
31:53
is a is a dwarf yeah he's a dwarf yeah he has dwarfism okay right okay so when
31:58
I talk about Peter Dinklage right he's not he wouldn't that's not the same as
32:03
you know like a a dwarf from from Dungeons and Dragons right is it is it
32:09
no no the dwars from D and D all live on the ground the males and females both
32:14
have beards it's yeah right what about the dwarves in Snow White and the Seven
32:21
Dwarves well I thought they were I thought they were the fantasy ones the
32:25
fictional ones I got some fantasy dwarves don't you worry I'm disproving my point earlier
32:31
which was this is not like that because obviously Japanese people do exist and
32:35
so but maybe the Japanese people on TV are mythical creatures so we shouldn't
32:40
be contrasting them with the Japanese people who really do live in Japan like
32:45
for example the Japanese people in the film Shogun yeah versus the Japanese people
32:51
in in Japan or say the Japanese
32:54
characters in breakfasted Tiffany
33:00
but yeah yeah I
33:04
think is that how Skol J is going to act in this oh [ __ ] me you know what I would
33:10
kind of welcome that and here's why because that would literally be the end
33:13
of it forever M [ __ ] M go Ry I called a priest yeah that's my Mickey Rooney
33:18
impression just just to clarify that was just me doing an impression of Mickey
33:21
Rooney it's also my new ringtone it's not racist cuz Mickey
33:26
Rooney's white I said mi W is right that's that would also be racist that
33:31
that was racist in summation Asian people feel
33:36
misrepresented you want to talk about uh Matt a couple of weeks ago Luke and I
33:42
made up a new segment where uh where we
33:46
look at lawsuits civil cases and uh we
33:52
decide what people really should be allowed to sue for right yes and contrast
33:58
they're actually asking I can't remember what we called that segment Luke can you
34:03
remember what we was it common sense the court of common sense I that sounds
34:08
about right anyway I've got I've got one more for that this week bizar C
34:15
[Music] cases I've never seen hob bird man
34:21
hopefully this will do right all right okay and it's to do
34:27
with our personal hero and mascot of this podcast William
34:33
Shatner right y Willam Shatner is being
34:37
sued for $170
34:40
Million by a man who claims that Shatner is his
34:46
father right Peter Sloan who now goes under the name Peter Shatner says that
34:50
the actor had an an affair with his mother in
34:55
1956 what's he suing for well I'll tell you and there's even a breakdown of uh
35:00
of how the money is is sorted here we go Sloan is seeking $30 million in
35:05
compensatory damages 90 million in punitive damages and 50 million for pain
35:11
and suffering he's also demanding a jury trial I didn't know you could do that
35:17
listen right this guy was put up for adoption yep shortly after his birth
35:24
right when you if you're put up for adoption
35:28
when you grow up if your father isn't a multi-millionaire celebrity are you
35:34
allowed to sue them or is it only because it's William Shatner that this
35:38
guy I mean it's a little suspicious isn't it are you is it is it normal this
35:42
is exactly the line of thinking I was going like yeah is it normal for someone
35:47
who's adopted to sue their parents for damages is that
35:51
normal is there grounds for suing your parents for giving you up anyway I mean
35:55
if he was given up for adoption that's not the same as just not admitting
36:00
you're the father right yes I'm pretty sure that's legal that is people do that
36:05
often like if if I think if he had have stayed with his mother and the mother
36:11
was your father's William I'm trying to get money out of him to help raise you
36:14
you've probably got something there but being given up for adoption is basically
36:18
look we can't look after this child for whatever reason there's many different
36:21
reasons why people do it so you sign away and then someone else takes over
36:25
that responsibility h so is he is he suing his mother as well
36:32
for adopting I bet he's not yeah it doesn't sound giving him up for
36:36
adoption cuz yeah to me the mother should also be on here well she probably
36:41
doesn't have $170 million so no point like Shatner is denying this obviously
36:47
in fact I don't think he's made any comment on it other than stop it go away
36:51
seems like yeah um this guy says that Shatner admitted that he was his father
36:56
on the set of TJ Hawker in 1984 yeah and then Sloan followed up
37:02
with a phone call Days Later Shatner became agitated and hung up yeah like
37:07
first of all How would how would Shatner even know yeah yeah right because he
37:12
would have been years old at that point and if Shatner didn't even know he was
37:18
the father I.E the mother never told him raised the you know had the baby herself
37:22
decided she couldn't raise the baby on her own and put the baby up for adoption
37:28
here's a letter from William Shatner's lawyer dear Peter I had another
37:33
conversation with Bill who confirmed me once again that he is not your father
37:38
there have been many people over the years who have claimed to be his
37:40
children or other relatives he is an incredibly busy 80-year-old man and is
37:44
not interested in spending time discussing this issue with you or any
37:47
such individuals all of your actions including the use of my client's
37:51
valuable name and likeness without her approval are at your own risk yeah so
37:55
that's the point I was going to make is that this guy has just taken it upon
37:59
himself to to call himself Peter Shatner and he's using his alleged uh father's
38:05
name to make a name for himself we started a radio show in Tampa and he's
38:09
basically just telling everybody he's William Shatner's son can you imagine
38:12
listening to a radio station that's nothing but a guy telling you that he's
38:15
William Shatner's son I wouldn't listen to the actual son of William Shatner do
38:21
that on the radio let alone this guy but he also owns Peters shercom which you
38:27
read reged in 2009 he's complaining that uh that Shatner's social media director
38:33
posted malicious lious and slanderous statements about the plaintiff Sloan on
38:37
Facebook and Twitter and he also says that Twitter and IMDb Pro have shut down
38:42
accounts related to him that's because you're not William Shatner's son yeah I
38:47
mean and and if we're splitting hairs your name is not Peter Shatner oh that's
38:53
not actually what he's suing for what he's not suing
38:58
what he the damage he incurred are the plain's Lost production loss of the
39:03
production of the film therapute Community by direct actions of the
39:07
defendant who sought to destroy the reputation of the plaintiff and loss of
39:11
the ability to earn income from the use of the name penis shat now which has
39:14
been the plenti brand brand in quotation marks since 2009 that's what he's suing
39:20
for so he suing because Shatner told him
39:23
to stop using his name yes wow well that either way that's fine it's not his
39:30
name I want to be on that jewelry yeah he's basically saying like
39:34
I'm I'm using I'm decided to go under his name cuz I am his son and then so
39:39
and because he's running around saying he's William sh's son and so taking his
39:43
name and they come no you're not so stop using that he's lost business because of
39:48
that cuz that's his brand so uh yeah he start something because Dad wasn't
39:53
around when he was growing up right all right fine that makes more sense I guess
39:59
sort of but still yeah sort of it's still still a weird situation it's still
40:05
he's trying to profit off the fact that William Shatner is or isn't his dad you
40:09
know what I mean yes how did he even get on to I that I haven't been able to find
40:15
okay I will read this later because it's
40:18
it's very amusing we'll follow up on
40:22
this let's move on to something else all right what do we got what do we got
40:28
that's interesting well blizzard fans aren't happy still no we talked about uh last
40:34
week you weren't you weren't around Danny but we discussed
40:39
how uh there was a third- party server for World of Warcraft because uh as you
40:45
may or may not know because I don't think you've ever played World of
40:48
Warcraft have you no no so World of Warcraft has changed a lot over the
40:53
years and there were a lot of people who who liked the way it was in the
40:56
beginning and and so some industrious people started private servers which you
41:01
could con connect to with the World of Warcraft client and just play it how it
41:04
was in the beginning like older older you know an older version of it
41:10
sure uh and then on April 10th this year uh the the the biggest one of those
41:16
servers known as nostras had 150,000 active members it was shut down after a
41:21
threat of legal action by blizzard and so uh people are really really upset
41:26
about it still actually and there's now a petition and and people trying to drum
41:31
up a bunch of you know support to to get blizzard to change their stance on this
41:37
and they're yeah they're saying you know World of Warcraft was more fun in the
41:43
past uh so they want blizard to bring it
41:49
back I guess it's such a weird argument and saying this is how it is I'm sorry
41:54
that you liked it better the other way but that's not the world we live in
41:57
thanks yeah like story The Warcraft is as it is now and it's it's copyright and
42:02
it's our product and yeah it's the reality of I don't think they'll change
42:07
their mind I find that unlikely or either that or they'll go 150,000 people
42:12
who be willing to pay for for an old service 150,000 I'm not
42:18
even sure subscribers they got now I'm not sure that they would consider that a big
42:23
audience it sort of is now with W W's not having the million concurrent users
42:28
it once was yeah no that's true I was I was about to say it doesn't sound like
42:32
many but I don't know how many they have now yeah I don't know well there you
42:37
know there's a Warcraft movie coming out that might boost uh players ship who
42:43
knows that's that's true as well actually maybe [ __ ] stupid I wonder
42:47
if that's why theyve finally done this right because because I presume this
42:52
server has been around for a very long time right because the the game came out
42:58
in 2004
42:59
originally I think and uh and so it got
43:05
changed first I think with what the burning Crusade the the first
43:10
expansion and it's been a while since then so yeah I wonder if this is a reaction
43:16
to the film like like they didn't care so much before but now the movie's
43:20
coming out and they're expecting kind of an influx so they're like
43:25
better hit the these nails on the head you know what I mean h
43:31
interesting well they originally got hit by a bit of attack which might have been
43:36
retaliation for this I don't know if you heard about this it was basically um you
43:41
weren't able to log on to the Blizzard servers for a little while cuz just a
43:46
distributed denial servers attack that happened just after these servers went
43:50
down a couple days later right so they love this game so
43:54
much that they don't want anyone else to play it ever again now well I don't know
43:58
if that's the direct reason but it could be such a weird attitude it works for
44:03
jealous boyfriends kill their
44:08
exgirlfriends yeah okay fair enough yeah I don't know it's like [ __ ] you you made
44:13
something I like I kind of get it but I kind of
44:17
don't get it I mean look th this this is the the world that we live in now in
44:23
terms of media content especially with games
44:27
it changes things go out of compatibility and never return again you
44:33
know what I mean like there some old games that I'll never get to play again
44:36
that I enjoyed that's just bad luck for me it's not like in the old days where
44:40
you had a book and then that book was just that book forever you know it's not
44:46
like the book had updates and you couldn't read the original book anymore
44:49
although that kind of did happen I guess what happens if you just
44:55
buy I by the base level of World of Warcraft now without any of the
45:00
expansions well uh I was going to I have one
45:06
expansion I have the burning Crusade so I don't know I guess I mean
45:11
well the game is free completely free up to level 20 something now I think so I
45:17
don't know I think you just can't play as certain uh races in the game okay so
45:21
you can still sort of travel everywhere and do everything so it's I was just
45:25
saying like may maybe just make a second account we've just the
45:29
um the base level installed and there you go oh I know that's the game is
45:33
still different though okay like the game the mechanics of the game have been
45:39
changed like over time like so I don't think it's I don't
45:44
think that quite will work well I just found out so
45:48
150,000 last year don't F hasn't really been talking about wow subscribers a lot
45:53
lately but last number I could find was like 5 a half million that's quite a lot
46:00
so per month that's that's times that by 10 times 12 that's how much they make a
46:06
year off it yes I think it's 10 bucks a month right was it 15 I think it's 15 so
46:11
it's still quite a lot of money and then if you put their other games on top of
46:15
that they they're fine for money so this 100,000 people they're not really too
46:19
worried about yeah I think they're all right they're fine they're doing fine
46:24
y okay so you managed to give plague a go
46:27
yeah play G was really fun uh and I played it a couple of times and then I
46:34
beat it and then I was like playing it one more time and I was
46:38
like yeah I'm probably done with
46:42
this it's a good pick up and put down
46:46
game but you can't play it a lot yeah like it's not something I'm going to sit
46:51
there and play for a week but every now and again I'll Lo up and I'll have a
46:53
game yeah it's a casual game if I'm on a plane I might put it on yes yeah cuz it
47:00
actually is quite fun yes it's actually good cuz there's um things where you can
47:04
try and get like um China to Nuke America and things like that
47:10
right just the way you play or maybe it's the other way around let someone
47:14
nukes someone I haven't been able to do that yet I'm trying to yeah okay well
47:18
that's interesting cuz I kind of once I figured out the trick of basically just
47:21
making your your plague really um contagious but light on the symptoms and
47:27
then when it spreads everywhere just piling on the symptoms so that everyone
47:31
dies I was kind of like oh well yeah I don't you know I'm just going to be
47:37
doing that from now on no it is really game because it's quite easy to do that
47:41
and it's also especially when you're playing on sort the lower levels it's
47:45
really a game that you really do need to put the hardness up yeah play at the
47:50
normal level maybe play with a different few of different diseases cuz yeah as
47:54
you know it's very easy Once you work it out I just infect everyone and then I
47:58
kill them it's very easy but there's it has to be a game where you have to be
48:03
prepared to lose to play and have fun I think yeah if that makes sense yeah you
48:09
got to make it heart of yourself yeah yeah yeah know I'm having fun with it I
48:13
noticed it was on the Xbox still and I was like oh I have it on the Xbox and oh
48:17
wait no that's Luke's copy I can't actually play it so yeah you can install it if you want
48:24
thanks I needed an achievement I know I know how you going you still
48:30
keeping up your um yep I just just
48:33
ticked over I'm still going strong H so I'm now in the period
48:40
15 now you go when are you going away I go away on the 5th of
48:47
May uh how are you going to maintain that while you're away well while I'm
48:53
away won't actually be a problem cuz I've got two it's going to be in Japan
48:57
they have I have two bonuses have [ __ ] in Japan yeah but he's going to have to
49:02
play your games like Windows phone yeah I have a Windows phone with
49:06
me so I'll just be able to use that are you going to have do you do you need
49:10
internet connection to get achievements oh there'd be free Wi-Fi over there
49:13
wouldn't there oh probably in Japan I assume Japan is more free Wi-Fi than any
49:19
other place in the plan yeah that's what I'm thinking um so the games on the
49:24
phone aren't that much but I've got two bonuses I can use at any stage one's for
49:29
extra 500 points that basically just boost my numbers for that week and the
49:33
other one is a safety net where I basically go I'm going on holidays for a
49:36
week you don't look at so I'm not counted in this week at the competition
49:41
