[Music] welcome to multiple
0:02
nerdgasm your destination for all things nerdy so we are back yet again for
0:09
another week of multiple nerdgasm we are welcome that was that was probably the
0:14
first time we ever done a take two yeah that's the first intro Luke's done I
0:18
think isn't it it's good I did I intro last week's I think Luke does them now
0:22
yeah yeah I think now that Dave's not with us temporarily Luke's Luke's the
0:27
new day made it sound like was dead now that Dave's not with us anymore well I
0:34
also didn't want to imply that he was kicked off the podcast oh yeah of course
0:37
yeah so I was trying to be careful about how I phrased it I mean I hope he's
0:41
coming back well look he might be dead I've not heard from
0:46
him so I have I heard from him okay so you can confirm he's not dead yeah he
0:51
was sent a video of his on um the weekend and he was very annoyed I know
0:56
he was sent one well allegedly he was very annoyed that he wasn't here well he
1:00
should have been next year book it in now all right so what what's happening
1:05
in the world I saw an ad during the week that really made me laugh can I share it
1:08
with you guys you can yeah I mean this is not really about anything to do with
1:14
the stuff we normally talk about on this podcast it just it just really made me
1:18
laugh it's one of those say not to drugs
1:22
campaigns right the slogan is before
1:26
meth I had a daughter now I have have a
1:33
prostitute and it's funny because I assume what they're trying to imply is
1:38
that his daughter is now a meth addict and has become a prostitute to support
1:42
her habit but I think grammatically what it actually says is that he used to have
1:48
a family um then he discovered the wonders of drug use and now he doesn't
1:54
have a family now he hangs out with [ __ ] I actually even interpret that
1:58
even a little bit differently now he's [ __ ] his own daughter yeah
2:03
but paying her for it oh so what you're saying is he used
2:08
to have sex with her anyway but now he pays her in meth but also even if even
2:13
if it is the way that they intended she didn't ceased to be his
2:18
daughter they know it's not like like oh they used to have a dog but now I have a
2:23
cat like or maybe she was like Dad If You're
2:28
Gonna Keep [ __ ] me I can't be your daughter anymore so he was like fine you
2:33
have to pick and he's like fine you're a prostitute then fine he 200
2:39
bucks and that's how it works yeah so I don't know if that ad's going to make
2:44
anyone stay off meth I don't know if any of those ads ever do because do the
2:48
people on meth see those ads not only that but if that really is him and his
2:54
daughter's on meth then why Target him why is the message for him
3:00
where where was the ad oh I don't know on a
3:05
sidebar oh right okay just yeah yeah because I'm curious as to yeah
3:12
like who who's going to see that and be like oh I've learned a
3:16
lesson yeah I suppose it raises everyone else's fear and Terror you know yeah but
3:21
not not if you're a meth addict like what meth addicts going to see that and
3:24
go oh my God my dad probably doesn't like that I'm a prostitute and i' never
3:28
considered that till now or they're now thinking that being a
3:34
prostitute is a valid career choice to fund their M yeah yeah what do you what
3:39
do you mean he's not happy about it he's the one who sells me the meth yeah he
3:44
knows how expensive it is oh it is it is too expensive though
3:51
the thumbs thumbs down thumb meth thumbs right down if Dave was here I'm sure
3:56
he'd go hell of a drug all right now I'm a bit I'm the next thing in the
4:00
spreadsheet and really a 73-year-old teacher fired for starring in starring
4:05
in porn yeah yeah 73y old teacher five to starring in porn Drama teacher from
4:12
Quebec Canada uh her students Googled her and
4:17
found out that in the 60s she uh stared in some uh Swedish
4:23
erotica really technically not um but there was one where she uh I mean I'm
4:29
imagining these kind of black and white art nude films you know that's what I'm
4:34
imagining um seen a couple of photos uh one where she's dressed up as a sexy
4:40
Nazi you know European Cinema in the 60s
4:44
was pretty different uh how it is now um and the school figh her and said uh we
4:50
don't want our kids exposed to that kind of smut and she said I'm 73 years old
4:56
yeah um that was quite a while ago considering I was about 20 at the
5:02
time and uh get [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] all
5:08
y yeah wow oh that's kind of a shame really yeah oh I didn't put the link in
5:14
I apologize just Google 73y old woman porn and I'm sure you'll find
5:20
it no you're not going to get me with that again I'm having a
5:26
look images uh that was a mistake just don't click
5:32
videos I'm closing that window let's never speak of that again yeah well the
5:38
government knows oh should not have clicked on this in other new though I
5:43
should really call my [Music]
5:49
n so another celebrity has behaved poorly it's not it's not our usual I
5:54
mean although we we'll get to him oh yeah there'll be some sh buff news for
5:58
sure but before we get get to that I mean we we were at uh Supernova just a
6:03
couple of weeks ago listening to Nicholas Brendan talk about his days on
6:09
Buffy do a bit of a song and dance um
6:13
and uh and now he's now he's in
6:16
jail uh for um just generally creating a
6:21
disturbance as far as I can tell I think he was drunk yeah on a cocktail of of
6:27
alcohol and prescription painkillers um now Luke as someone who is quite
6:33
often on a cocktail of alcohol and prescription painkillers have you ever
6:37
caused a seene in a public place and been remanded by the
6:41
cops no because I'm not stupid about
6:45
it you have to actually take quite a bit of either painkillers or alcohol or a
6:51
combination of both to act that way if he's taking something for actual pain wouldn't be a
6:58
problem yeah yeah uh apparently uh he was taking
7:03
initially taking the medication for
7:06
sne uh and then it was just a sore Soul after
7:11
that Jesus um guess you wouldn't sing with him yeah that's right what a [ __ ]
7:17
yeah the the hotel officials say he broke a decorative dish and they want to
7:21
press charges um he showed signs of being intoxicated and refused to remain
7:26
seated while the officers spoke with Witnesses well I mean as crimes go that's that's
7:33
pretty minor he broke a dish and just wouldn't sit down when they asked him to sit down
7:39
how much was the dish I don't think it doesn't say he it
7:43
looks like he's been in a fight in the photo that photo is hilariously tragic
7:50
he looks ashamed of himself yeah he's got a bruise on his face so I something
7:56
more must have happened it doesn't I don't think it mention yeah I think
8:00
that's what it was yeah yeah he's resisted not sitting down I think is a
8:04
nice way of saying he resisted arrest and theyed
8:09
him oh that's embarrassing but just look at those eyes I know I know they are so
8:15
blood sh yeah he's like I mean look not the the expression like if you caught a
8:19
panda like stealing cookies from the cookie jar that's the look he give you
8:24
you know what I mean yeah I I helped raise you kids yeah with my TV show and
8:30
look what I look what's happened to me he did he's 43 years old he's 43 now
8:34
that feels too old until I remember that I'm 34 now
8:41
yeah yeah I mean Xander and me are still 17 in my head you know what I mean yeah
8:47
yeah well they were supposed to be out agage they weren't but they were
8:50
supposed to be outage yeah when we watched it oh that's a
8:55
shame you know yeah well I I assume he's okay and uh and you know we're not going
9:01
to be seeing him in the news every week
9:04
unlike someone else who we can't seem to
9:08
stop hearing about we don't want to stop hearing about no sh I want you in my
9:15
life every day you to hear crazy stuffen to
9:23
the there are two things that I want to talk about this
9:28
story that in here MH mhm um but I also would like to mention um I'll put it in
9:31
the show notes and I'm not going to spoil anything in case you haven't seen
9:34
this we have linked before to this song it's um it's the actual cannibal shy
9:41
buff song except a new video from the creator of the song uh has has been
9:47
released and it is amazing yeah um and I
9:51
described this earlier as the best thing
9:55
I've ever seen ever of anything
9:59
and um I hope I haven't built it up but
10:04
um but this really just made my day week
10:09
year and possibly my whole life yeah yeah so uh we'll put that in the show
10:16
notes so yeah check that out it's um yeah it's the new live recording
10:22
of w cannibal Shob buff there some other Shuff news Dan I think yeah look I mean
10:27
it's it's just all coming out I mean this is is not exactly like upto-date
10:31
current but it's just more people talking about what an absolute
10:35
psychopath this guy is um he was
10:39
recently cast in a Broadway play called orphans um where he starred with Alex
10:45
that's right that was on that was on when we were there in New York yeah
10:49
right well you probably wouldn't have seen him because he got fired and Ben
10:52
Foster was um his replacement right uh
10:58
because he stalked Alec Baldwin what um and here's what he said
11:04
about it um my whole G my my whole goal
11:09
was to intimidate the [ __ ] out of Alec Baldwin he said adding I wanted Baldwin to be
11:15
scared this led to lauff actually following Baldwin home for a month every
11:20
day after he left the production I was trying to take my mind
11:24
off the play but I couldn't do it labuff said so I would follow him home from
11:28
rehearsal to his home I needed to have closure whatever the [ __ ] that
11:34
means what yeah what I don't understand why no
11:40
it's what is wrong with him well he just they were not getting along in the
11:45
production or something maybe and so maybe is it is this one of those things
11:52
that's only okay of your an actor and you can say oh you know I just got too
11:56
too into it whereas you know if I did that yeah you know maybe maybe you're on
12:02
something there Matt maybe you could stalk someone and then
12:06
just say oh I was just I was just stealing character yeah I was just
12:10
researching a role I mean that's that's exactly what um Christian Bale
12:15
said when he uh right with his what don't you [ __ ]
12:21
understand yeah verbally slammed the dop of uh Terminator
12:26
Salvation yeah well that I'm sure that excuse gets used to lot I mean I believe
12:29
he was in character because he did it in an accent that's true as well yeah yeah see
12:35
but then I'm like well that's not that's not terribly stable is it well there you
12:40
go do it in an accent stalk someone in
12:44
an accent yeah and just say I'm in
12:49
character lock up the character yeah lock up my
12:55
accent if you can catch it there it go yeah I I didn't catch accent when he was
13:00
in nomaniac that's for sure worst accent
13:04
ever I haven't seen it you should still watch it if you want to see um lots and
13:09
lots of shil Buff's dick and um him doing a really bad British accent
13:16
right yeah that's my review of nomaniac no once you seen you sck
13:23
it's I think you need to go your way to see it again yeah y
13:30
I didn't have you seen this bit too later on where it says um about him
13:33
choking the director yeah of Charlie Countryman um because he notoriously
13:38
took LSD during the filming which led uh which led to bond almost to Banning the
13:43
project and lauff says he wanted to break for lunch while I was tripping on
13:46
drugs I was like we can't break for lunch I'm on [ __ ]
13:50
drugs right after that asked you to do that right after that Acid trip I was
13:55
choking him and my chainer had to pull me off him that's great said that he
13:58
felt the need to do drugs during the shoot because of a lack of control
14:01
caused by irrational commitment yeah he sounds yeah that's totally
14:07
stable and he doesn't even take LSD in the film he takes an eeky like
14:13
he's that role right right I remember that story too it's a good movie
14:18
actually I really liked it but you know then again Char is my favorite actor is
14:23
that the one you were watching downstairs where he's in Romania yes
14:26
correct yes okay yeah yeah that that looks good it's got MZ melson in it Leif
14:32
from uh oh yeah I like that guy yeah he's cool and um who's that girl that
14:37
used to date Marilyn Manson oh um ah God yeah I know who you
14:44
mean so yeah more sh buff I'm sure there'll be more sh buff next week I'm
14:49
sure there will yeah well [ __ ] unless he dies between now and then well I mean
14:54
that so yeah it be the week after that we won't have anything I don't know
14:59
somehow I somehow I think that even then there'd still be stuff there'd be stuff
15:04
coming out you know what I
15:08
mean well speaking of taking things too
15:11
far um as a young gentleman who used to be a game developer until earlier this
15:18
week he his game came out steam made a little bit of a mistake and didn't come
15:24
out and say yes it's now the full game it's not early access so I correct there
15:29
they did but his browser case was out of date oh oh so this is even more on him
15:35
oh apparently so yes so the game is called paranoid activity
15:40
yes so and he thought it was ste's fault
15:44
so took to Twitter mhm and went straight
15:49
for Gabe and threatened to kill him what what what were his exact
15:53
words okay is it here the most incompetent piece of [ __ ]
15:59
[ __ ] and it was [ __ ] taking money out of his out of my pocket this is him
16:04
talking and in fact misinforming people that my game is in [ __ ] Early Access
16:10
I'm going to kill you g you he is going to
16:13
die yeah yeah that's a death threat yeah shortly after that his game was removed
16:19
from Steam permanently oh yes and uh I
16:24
mean people have said and quite rightly he's lucky he didn't get a arrested yeah
16:30
yeah cuz that's a death threat yeah yes yeah and his argument is well you know I
16:36
was pissed off and you know I say [ __ ] all the time but he's apology it's it's
16:40
an idiot's apology let's hear it it is like he comes back and goes sorry didn't
16:44
mean to say that he's pleading like cons but this is the thing he actually
16:48
consider like consider you've got the Monopoly on the PT Market before writing
16:52
us off let's be real if you talk about Game of the store they're [ __ ] sure
16:56
about the decision yeah look well he
17:01
um he posted a Blog an update on his company site he stepped down as co-
17:07
owner of the company yeah I think it's him and him and Oney company there's two
17:12
people that only have one game go on no well apparently there's five people in
17:15
the company there's a bunch of developers in that but they're the two
17:18
head and he stepped down but his his statement isn't so much you know I've
17:24
made a mistake and I've learned my lesson I need to go away it's more the
17:28
tone of it is is more well [ __ ] them they [ __ ] me they [ __ ] me and now
17:32
I've got to quit and you know it's it's a [ __ ] joke this corporate [ __ ]
17:36
but I guess I got to quit now have I hey have I all right fine I'll quit then you
17:40
say you're going to kill one person yeah like it's it's not an apology no yeah I
17:47
mean I've been angry about [ __ ] in the past too but I I rarely resort to death
17:51
threats especially publicly I mean instead of going to Twitter and typing
17:54
in I'm going to kill Gabe new he's going to [ __ ] die what he could have done
17:58
was written an email to Gabe going hey buddy uh can't help but notice you've uh
18:03
still got me listed as Early Access and to which they would have written back uh
18:08
check now no we don't check again
18:13
yeah it's just such a idiot like I don't know like and because the other thing is
18:19
too in his um his blog post um he talks about how um how's he word
18:26
it um his last sentence is I'm out like like
18:31
he's the victim yeah yeah yeah idiot yeah like he says he's going to go work
18:36
for um no you're not here we go if I do continue to work in games it'll be as an
18:40
an anonymous one of 100 at some shitty Corporation yeah yeah that's right
18:45
you'll have to do that yeah good luck getting a job at one of those shitty
18:48
corporations now oh no good luck in
18:52
retail yeah good luck changing your name they're not going to hire you now like I
18:58
can understand where he's coming from going like they have the Monopoly and if
19:02
you really don't go through Steam you might have a bit of trouble
19:05
but not like that no no it's ridicul look I mean look I I hope for Gabe's
19:10
sake that he didn't take this as a serious threat in fact I hope that Gabe
19:14
didn't even let this [ __ ] ruin his afternoon I hope that he read the
19:19
Tweet picked up his Mouse clicked delete and then just went on with his days you
19:24
know what I mean see I the thing is this is an increasing
19:29
ing occurrence is you've got these people like look at Phil fish and look
19:35
at Notch a lot of the time um particularly in game development it
19:39
seems this is happening where you've got these people who are not marketing
19:43
people and they're not
19:47
socially trained people and they're on Twitter and something happens and they
19:53
just should not be representing a company you know what I mean and like
19:57
the the other the other founder of the company um code avarest is their company
20:02
um has said that from now on they're going to have a company Twitter account
20:06
and that's the only Twitter account that represents the company the personal
20:09
accounts are personal accounts and and should have nothing to do and that's how it
20:14
because well yeah because all these independent Indie developers like if you
20:19
[ __ ] up like yeah you know like it's it can be brutal like in thisa in this case
20:24
this guy just [ __ ] up like think about the other four people in that company
20:28
and friend it would have been his friend who's the partner in it and they he's
20:31
just screwed them all over yeah I feel sorry for this guy not because I mean
20:36
clearly he he has no remorse or he doesn't he doesn't even understand what
20:39
the problem was so so I mean he needed to learn this lesson whether he learned
20:43
it or not but if he was one of 1,000 at some shitty Corporation this wouldn't
20:49
have happened because his shitty attitude would have been restrained
20:54
Behind the Walls of of you know like the the the marketing department would have
20:58
been filtered through the system yeah exactly even if that was the case it's
21:04
like oh so Matt um can I just can I just log into the company Twitter what is
21:07
this thing he would have had access to the company Twitter just for a sec I
21:11
just need to just type a quick tweet just at Gabe new yeah sorry I'm just um
21:17
I've just is death threat one word or two or is that henat so what are you
21:22
doing oh I'm just writing a just writing a tweet to Gabe yeah I'm just just
21:25
making just a quick death threat about yeah cuz you know we had the issue on
21:30
the store you know how we had the meeting this morning and we like oh what
21:33
do we do about it and I suggest a death threat did you guys say yes to that or
21:38
no to that everyone else's computer doesn't have the Early Access message
21:42
only mine well I'm going to do it anyway I don't I don't I need to fact check
21:47
myself should I should I double check the I'll just hit tweet and I'll deal
21:51
with it after yeah yeah even said he has an issue where he just Rants and close
21:56
self Steam on yeah steam yeah on um Twitter but that's
22:02
that's just obviously obviously not acceptable when you're tweeting in a
22:08
professional yeah well I I think maybe Twitter should just not be in the
22:12
professional realm at all yeah just don't mix it up yeah just
22:19
don't [ __ ] tweet a death threat for [ __ ] sake yeah we just don't make
22:23
death threats but but I mean like it's like Phil fish like he he brings his
22:27
[ __ ] on himself I feel sorry for Phil fish the guy's clearly like mentally
22:31
unstable yeah exactly and he's a talented guy and he seems like the heart
22:36
of it he's a nice guy but he just can't be he can't interact with people CU they
22:40
just make he clearly isn't able to control himself and he gets pissed off
22:44
and and just ruins everything and that's seems like this guy is the same and the
22:49
thing is I mean these game developers are like these kind of antisocial
22:52
Geniuses that kind of sit in their sit in their room designing games I mean
22:56
that's their skill um their skill is not being the spokesperson for a company ex
23:02
but unfortunately they're being thrust into the public
23:04
Arena and then they're just shooting himself in the
23:08
foot yeah so anyway he's out yeah but Twitter's Twitter's causing all kinds of
23:14
problems this week um cast your minds back to the late '90s everyone remember
23:20
Monica Lewinsky a she she dated that famous guy
23:25
yeah yeah uh the president yeah him like cigars if I remember correctly yeah yeah
23:31
um the guy that the guy that blew his job uh over a [ __ ]
23:38
um uh she's uh she's stayed away from social media up until now evidently I
23:45
bet she has um I didn't realize that she she pointed that out but um I [ __ ]
23:51
hadn't thought about her in 20 years but uh she recently decided to join Twitter
23:56
because she noticed that a lot of people were being Cyber Bullied on Twitter and
23:59
she wanted to do something about it right Monica Lewinsky started a Twitter
24:03
account um and was bullied so badly that she deleted her account after only two
24:09
tweets which is I I don't know if that's irony or Poetic Justice or just a really
24:16
shitty turn of events but it it certainly made me laugh what were they bullying her about
24:22
I mean I can guess the same thing as always yeah um she's not she's not she's
24:28
not able to deal with that now well look I mean I think 20 years later people are
24:32
still um tweeting at her Monica Lewinsky can you recommend a good dry cleaner
24:38
[Laughter] please yeah and that's well see this is
24:42
the thing about Twitter I guess and it's very similar to you know what happened
24:47
with Zelda Williams when when Robin Williams Comm suicied and um all this
24:54
stuff that's happening with gamergate which I don't want to talk about because
24:58
Feel That Fire no I don't want to talk about it I'll say as much all I'll say
25:02
is that this Twitter seems to be
25:06
um this kind of Juggernaut platform for
25:10
overwhelming people at the moment like I can see how that can happen because you
25:16
you're putting stuff out there and it's public and then all of a sudden just
25:19
millions of people can be anonymously Aunt to you yeah God bless the
25:25
internet like and that's why I the other thing I don't understand about some of
25:29
these these situations is that there are people who when this happens like they
25:34
get harassed on Twitter and I understand that would suck um and then they they
25:38
tweet oh you know look how many app replies I keep getting and it just won't
25:41
stop I'm like well just just turn off notifications yeah yeah and like and it
25:47
just you know it'll it'll stop yeah yeah stop fueling it like it seems like I
25:53
don't know like it's not it's it seems like it's not always unwanted whether or
25:57
not it does upset people you know I I I don't condone it and I don't think but
26:02
people if you react to it you're giving them what they want yeah if you just let
26:08
them go and just don't respond at all people get bored and it's like this
26:13
business with um you know with the death threats and things like obviously Gabe
26:18
wasn't really in danger no like I mean I don't think he would have really he
26:24
wasn't yeah let's assume he wasn't um but as we know in the news lat
26:29
unfortunately there have been a bunch of other silly death threats um mostly over
26:33
Twitter and and things like that but the I think the the difference is when you
26:38
know celebrities I'm sure celebrities get a lot of death threats like I'm just
26:42
sure that they do because obviously that's what boor people do because we've
26:47
discovering that now with Twitter yeah I mean I mean JJ Abrams probably gets if I
26:51
don't like the new Star Wars movie you're [ __ ] dead yeah but you know
26:54
what he doesn't do he doesn't cancel the new Star Wars movie because of the death
26:58
threats because that sends a message that well if you don't like what I'm
27:02
doing send me a death threat and I won't do it anymore yeah you know what I mean
27:07
uh look I mean unless I'm really missing something here I just don't understand
27:13
how cyber bullying even works like actual bullying works because you can't
27:20
not go to school you still have to go to school and the bully's always there but
27:26
with Twitter you can just block someone as you said turn off notifications or at
27:32
worst just deactivate your Twitter account and start a new one like I just
27:39
don't see there's a big problem a lot of you get a lot of famous people coming
27:42
out against it but they are the worst for handling it yeah they fight back
27:48
with people they get upset whereas they should be coming out and just going look
27:52
this is happening I'm ignoring it yeah I think people I think it's it's become
27:57
Twitter is such a personal thing like you just tweet what's on your mind and
28:01
then all of a sudden you've got you become a say a celebrity like someone
28:05
like Phil fish who's not he's not he's not a celebrity he's a internet
28:09
celebrity and he's not you know like I think when when you say yeah you could
28:15
delete your Twitter account but no matter where he goes
28:19
now he is still fish you know what I mean yeah and and I think for someone
28:24
like Monica Linsky for example Monica Linsky unless she uses a pseudonym
28:28
she's not going to be able to have a Twitter account like if she can't deal
28:31
with this like that's not going to be possible for her ever because people
28:36
will tweet stupid jokes about she can do what almost everyone else in the world
28:41
does and just not put her [ __ ] real name on her Twitter account like yeah
28:45
yeah yeah or if she wants to just ignore the [ __ ] jokes and then eventually
28:50
people will stop because she won't validate their their their jokes
28:55
you know what I mean like ignore it and it'll go away I I don't know I don't
28:59
know I'm sure I mean maybe I'm I'm being
29:03
a bit I don't never been Cyber Bullied maybe it would affect me worse than I
29:08
I'm going to start cyber bullying you Matt yeah I was about to say let's let's
29:13
all start cyber bullying Matt and listeners if you like to cyber bully
29:17
Matt as well cuz I actually would like to see if we can make Matt crack under the
29:23
pressure next week he's like [ __ ] that's it you got me I'm [ __ ] off the
29:27
podcast yeah I'm off the internet yeah I quit quit quit the internet quit the
29:33
internet yeah I don't know I don't know maybe I'm just like I said I the other
29:38
thing is I don't actually really care about mon no no but I think some people
29:44
clearly people get very invested in Twitter people love Twitter like like
29:48
it's their favorite thing is Twitter but I I have to remind myself to tweet a lot
29:53
of the time yeah I don't I haven't logged in in months I only read Twitter
29:58
when I'm having a cigarette because there's very little else you can do just
30:03
standing in my back alley yeah
30:08
yeah well there you go oh yeah said don't know don't want to belittle
30:12
anybody's you know actual legitimate problems but it just seems like it's
30:17
such a manageable thing for um for somebody especially
30:22
someone like Monica Lewinsky like surely she C worse than a bunch of [ __ ]
30:25
idiots on Twitter yeah exactly right I mean look I mean I assume that Monica
30:29
Lewinsky is going to be the [ __ ] girl until she's 90 [ __ ] years old you
30:33
know what I mean surely she knows that though yeah yeah but that's what I mean
30:36
but like I mean it must it must suck for her this thing happened when she was 20
30:40
and like 20 years later she's like oh hi my name is Monica Linsky oh yeah you
30:46
uh yeah you up for it like yeah I know
30:51
well why not change your name then yeah what's the name of this guy that uh that
30:57
said he was going to kill Gabe on Twitter uh Mike something or
31:03
M I'm going to I'm going to tweet that I'm going to kill Mike mck and see what
31:09
happens I'm just gonna I'm gonna add him and just be like I'm gonna [ __ ] kill

32:28
thank you and back to whatever hilarious thing we were just about to
32:31
discuss H Dave wait Dave wasn't on this week [Music]
32:37
[ __ ] I've recently been watching episodes of a show that Luke and I
32:41
discovered when we were in America that would be Storage Wars would
32:45
it not yeah it's a little show called Storage Wars which I really enjoy um
32:49
pres television I don't know have you familiar with the show yeah I've seen a
32:53
little bit of it it's it's fairly entertaining yeah well the for the
32:57
listeners aren't familiar the premise is basically they've got um a bunch of a
33:01
bunch of teams who people who work for um uh thrift stores and a couple of
33:07
people who just collectors and stuff like that it's basically there's like
33:09
four or five of them who are kind of the the people on the show uh and they go to
33:14
auctions where they sell off people's storage lockers so if people default on
33:17
their payments for three months in California the um the contents of the
33:21
locker can be put up for auction to cover the costs which seems pretty
33:25
[ __ ] brutal to me like especially as as much as I enjoy the show when I if I
33:30
stop and think about yeah this cool stuff that they've just bought cheap
33:33
belongs to somebody who couldn't afford to pay for that Locker that is kind of
33:38
sad yeah yeah but yeah so basically they they show the auctions and they they bid
33:42
on these things and then um they have to go through the locker and see what's in
33:47
there what do they actually buy because you're not allowed to go inside and look
33:49
you have to stand at the door you get five minutes to look in and then you get
33:52
to beid on it and usually they they get a locker full of [ __ ] go through it and
33:56
often find some kind of cool collectible thing because you know it wouldn't be
34:02
interesting if it was just all dirty nappies and [ __ ] cuz reality TV is not
34:06
actual reality yeah and I guess I kind of knew that and I've always been a bit
34:10
like a I wonder how real it is but basically Dave Hester who is one of U
34:16
one of the the main characters in the show let's say he's the villain he's the
34:21
the guy that everybody hates he runs a big um thrift store in California um and
34:27
he's always was kind of portrayed as the villain uh apparently he sued um A&E
34:33
which is the the television station that produces the show and this this actually
34:37
a few years ago that this happened um he sued the show because he claimed that they
34:44
were um pre-checking the lockers and
34:49
planting um items that they had already had a praise that they knew would be
34:53
valuable to make the show more interesting uh and not only that they
34:59
were um giving money to the certain
35:03
teams let's say some of the Lesser stores or participants um so that they
35:08
could purchase lockers that they wouldn't ordinarily have been able to
35:12
afford so it was stacking the deck and evening the odds yeah and so his his
35:16
point was um that's false advertising and that's not what I signed up for um
35:22
you know like I'm running a business and you're supposed to be making a reality
35:26
show about my business and now you're [ __ ] around
35:28
um so I don't know whether this happened immediately or if they just started
35:30
doing this it seems like he either wasn't aware of it or um or just finally
35:36
decided to say something I don't know but anyway he sued them and um the case
35:41
was actually thrown out and I was like oh okay but it was thrown out because
35:45
the courts decided that it's um it's not a game show
35:50
so yeah I mean my response to that as somebody who works in the TV industry is
35:56
of course that's what happened
35:58
yeah like unless there was a 99% chance that something awesome was going to be
36:04
in that locker and you would be able to afford to buy it there's not a show yeah
36:09
that's right I'm just looking that's the one part that I think is really stupid
36:14
he complained after all of these he's making $25,000 an episode yeah I know
36:19
that well I see I thought that was interesting 26 episode why would you
36:23
just sit back cuz just [ __ ] Cruise along man I think because he suing them
36:28
for $750,000 in Damages but I think what damages well he is running a business I
36:33
think he I think what he's trying to say is it seems like like if it wasn't for
36:37
the show he'd be making more money off the lockers then don't be on the show
36:41
well yeah I guess as well that's quit the show then still you're making half a
36:45
that million dollars he got fired from the show because of this well he got
36:49
fired because he [ __ ] them and then and then he was he was fired didn't do a
36:54
season while lawsuit was on then they settled and now he's back on the
36:58
show yeah I know wow so I don't know I just well look they obviously worked out
37:04
that he was good for ratings and he worked out that the best publicity for
37:08
his [ __ ] Thrift Shop is being on [ __ ] million yeah he is good for
37:14
Ratings because he's a [ __ ] dick and uh he makes it more interesting but how
37:19
much of a dick can you be I mean evil thrift store he's just he's just a
37:23
douche he um you know he just [ __ ] with him and like like bids up the cuz he's
37:29
got more money than everybody else so he just kind of bids on stuff he doesn't
37:32
even want and then tries to drive the price up on them and stuff like that
37:36
he's just or or maybe he's not and they just only portray him like that in the
37:41
show like it's a TV show who knows have you seen that great video that Charlie
37:46
Brooker you guys know Charlie Brooker love Charlie Brooker yeah so Charlie
37:50
Brooker did this it was on on an episode of screen wipe I think or one of his um
37:56
one of his wipe program um You Got Game wipe and Screen wipe and
38:01
the year wipe ass wipe
38:06
but thanks Matt but um he's got this one
38:11
where he shows you some raw footage from Big Brother right um out of context and
38:18
then he edits it in three completely different ways um to spin the scenario
38:25
in three completely different ways and it's just really interesting um and if
38:29
you if you're not completely across how manipulated uh reality TV is and that's
38:36
a good introduction to how it works no it was interesting and because like I
38:41
said I do I did enjoy the show and now I don't know if I'm going to be able to
38:45
separate you know like before I I kind of knew but I didn't really know and now
38:48
I do know that well Matt I don't want to ruin every single TV show for you but
38:53
it's not real but that's what every single TV show is and you just have to
38:57
accept that when you watch t well see I'm aware that Vampire Diaries is
39:01
fiction if it's on TV it's fiction that's a general rule yeah that's true I
39:08
know it's like the the ghost hunting shows I don't know why I'm like ghost
39:11
hunting shows I take no I take no [ __ ] from ghost hunting shows no that's
39:16
[ __ ] but storage was I'm like oh don't tell me it's not
39:21
true I think that's more so due to the memory we had last year when we spent a
39:25
month watching it in America well it was funny too because I was watching it
39:28
yesterday really hung over and I'm like this is how I watched it when I was with luk in
39:33
America wake up after some [ __ ] stupid night out and uh and be like uh
39:39
storage was cuz it was just on
39:42
constantly y that that stupid duck show which we never watched Duck Dynasty yeah
39:49
yeah don't understand I don't understand that one then again just all these
39:52
hipster reality shows that are coming on now this um the guy who's upset the
39:56
storage was is real doesn't understand Duck Dynasty I'm sure if you if you like
40:01
Storage Wars you'll probably like Duck Dynasty as well I don't
40:05
know I don't know it's for me speaking of things we watched in
40:10
America and I'm aware that you weren't talking about our America trip you were
40:13
talking about your other American trip but what was that documentary that we
40:17
watched on real life superheroes oh um uh and there was it's called I think
40:22
it's called I think it's just called superheroes I have a copy of it yeah
40:26
right so there was one superhero who targeted homophobes that's right by
40:32
dressing up like a total raving homo and
40:36
um would hang out in alleys basically trying to bait
40:42
homophobes wave his butt at people and stuff yeah into just bashing him bashing
40:47
him for being a [ __ ] so they could all bash them yeah yeah it's called
40:52
superheroes yeah it's um it's funny but it's also very sad in Parts because
40:58
there's that um the guy who who moves out of his parents house to live in a
41:04
van because he's worried that super villains will attack his parents oh
41:09
goodness and it's like yeah I always get like that with those things I mean
41:12
that's why I can't watch you know that video of that guy that lives in the UFO
41:17
oh yeah and it's in the backyard of the house he used to that was tragic yeah
41:22
and um and you're like oh this guy's cool he lives in the UFO and then by
41:26
about halfway through the video just like this man is really sad this guy's
41:29
mentally ill and they shouldn't have allowed him to live in the
41:34
UFO yeah like all those Doomsday Preppers and uh yeah Doomsday Preppers
41:40
take sudden turns from like hilarious to tragic like utter
41:44
tragedy yep like that guy who who decided that the world's going to end so
41:49
he and his wife who's dying of cancer live in a truck and he sells her cancer
41:54
medication to buy supplies yeah this he believes that
41:58
trucks are the only thing yeah that will matter after the apocalyse because
42:02
everyone's going to want trucks and not his
42:05
wife apparently anyway that that episode was particularly like well he can watch
42:12
from his truck while we're passing her around yeah yeah that show I don't know
42:18
it's it's a mixed mixed blessing that show some of them are hilarious and then
42:23
and then there's a guy who was a 911 first responder who [ __ ] keeps a a
42:29
box of broken glass by his front door to throw down the hallway in case people
42:32
read his house like that is not okay he needs
42:38
help yeah the sad thing is we know people in real life that do that I know
42:43
I talk we all know who we're talking about y
42:51
y are you guys aware that 8 Seconds of total static went to number one on the
42:56
iTunes chart awesome this week that's awesome yeah I did hear this what
43:00
happened exactly Taylor Swift the uh the pop singer um God I sound like an old
43:07
man the pop star Taylor Swift [ __ ] Taylor Swift everyone knows who Taylor
43:11
Swift is Taylor Swift
43:14
mislabeled a track as a new single but
43:19
it was just 8 Seconds of static and uploaded it to to the iTunes Store M and
43:26
enough people download loaded at sight unseen because they just wanted whatever
43:31
Taylor Swift put out there that um it became number
43:37
one H that's funny how how much do you think how many copies do you think you'd
43:41
have to sell to get to number
43:44
one I wonder if it probably says here or
43:50
is this maybe a little rigged where it went to number one oh like they give her
43:53
priority or something oh yeah interesting I mean that is that is pretty funny to
43:59
me it' be it would take a hell of a lot to sell and people would work it out
44:04
pretty quickly wouldn't they I don't know you'd work it out you'd work it out
44:07
in under eight seconds I think yeah which is how long this the static
44:13
goes for I'll say this though from what I've heard that's probably my favorite of her
44:19
tracks yeah it reminds me of um obviously this guy is unfortunately not
44:23
as popular and I think we might have talked about this before that Rob Dugan track
44:27
um Rob Dugan who did the to the famous music from the girl the Matrix yeah yeah
44:34
he's great he's underrated um well he has an album called Furious angels and
44:40
uh it's on iTunes and in Australia for some reason uh I think actually I think
44:44
I found out why I once um there is a version of Club to death that um that
44:49
they can't distribute here that's on the album for some reason there's uh I think
44:54
cuz it was filmed here there's some licensing issue with with it oh but
44:58
anyway so because of that you can't actually just buy the full album on the
45:01
Australian iTunes Store the tracks are only available individually because I
45:05
guess that's just how it ended up getting processed through the red tape
45:10
except there's a track on there called intermission which is literally 30
45:14
seconds of Silence which you which costs a130 if you're not
45:20
careful um like because you have to buy all the tracks individually and so yeah
45:25
if you if you were to just go on there um and and purchase them all blindly you
45:29
would be yeah basically spending a dollar on um 30 seconds of silence for
45:34
one of them and that's fantastic and it's been like that since I I bought the
45:38
album and I noticed because I I was familiar with the contents of the album
45:42
um yeah so I skipped that one but it's been like that since I bought it about
45:46
five years ago that's so funny yeah so I mean I I have that album I loved that
45:51
album in I think you know 03 or whenever that came out yeah
45:55
um but you know I bought it when CDs were still a thing yeah that's right
46:00
yeah speaking of CDs when secret tracks
46:05
became a thing yeah yes that was annoying because like so much emphasis
46:12
was put on that and it's like oh you either have to kind of skip backwards
46:17
from one or go to the last one and listen to 20 minutes of silence to hear
46:22
another song yeah and you didn't want to miss out so you would which and
46:27
sometimes like the first the first time you sort of had to listen to it and wait
46:31
it was sort of cool but if you ever wanted to listen to that secret track
46:34
again yeah you had to skip and try and get to the start and then you go a
46:38
little bit too far so you'd have to skip back yeah and I had albums that had a
46:41
secret track that was literally between two tracks and you couldn't get to it by
46:45
just playing through you had to either skip back or skip forward and it was
46:51
such [ __ ] it's like if this was a cassette tape I could just [ __ ] fast
46:55
forward it to the song I wanted there um also if you fell asleep with a CD on uh
47:02
and then all of a sudden yes you could be woken startled awake by uh that's so
47:08
true by some secret track speaking of CDs anyone want to hear about some VDS
47:15
I've got some porn parodies for you if you want
47:19
them yeah I do I do want to hear about
47:23
your venial disease so uh for the for listeners who are new this is a segment
47:29
I'm going to I call porn parodies because it's I've got an original name
47:32
for it um basically I'm going to read
47:37
out um the name of a real film and then these gentlemen have to guess what they
47:43
think the porn parody title would be the title of the porn parody of that film or
47:49
just say if we know what it is already exactly or which you probably
47:53
did um but yeah uh we'll play the jingle
47:58
[Music]
48:05
par can I ask how we got a jingle for that yeah there was a segment a long
48:11
time ago where we talked about porn parodies not in this context in fact I
48:15
actually had to go back and make sure I didn't just steal this segment from one of
48:19
you so um but yeah there was a uh we
48:23
talked about porn parodies twice I think which qualifies as a segment for a jingle on this
48:30
show yeah wow I don't even remember that you know
48:35
who hasn't got a jingle shab buff no buff he's got that but he hasn't
48:39
actually got a jingle maybe I'll do a jingle for shy buff this week all right you
48:46
should it if there was a jingle sh buff earlier in the show this is where it was
48:52
conceived on this desk in front of me anyway
48:57
the first porn parody is uh a film that
49:01
I Know Dan is a big fan of Raiders of the Lost
49:07
ar oh
49:11
um Raiders of the Lost
49:14
ass you got it in
49:18
one wow yeah real
49:24
clever do you have a synopsis cuz I want to know why it's lost um all right let's
49:29
see I want to know how how closely it follows the
49:33
movie [ __ ] headpiece to the Stu of
49:37
RA uh it's on IMDb but it's got no plot
49:40
listed so um also all guys
49:45
so yeah oh well I mean not there's anything wrong with that but it's
49:50
probably not for not for you guys the I like how we're disappointed like we
49:55
would have watched it if it was sir yeah um all right the next
50:01
film uh well we we in keeping with the theme uh Indiana Jones and the Temple of
