650 I'm Luke, and that's Matt. Hi. 650 Wow.
0:17
I know, how the fuck did that happen?
0:20
I did theoretically fix the intro, this time the volume.
0:23
OK. Let me know anybody who cares if
0:26
that was still too loud or whatever.
0:28
Yeah. But if you don't tell us,
0:30
nothing changes. No, Yeah.
0:33
Oh, it works. This.
0:34
This is how it's going to be from now on until somebody says
0:36
something. So I did want to bring up so I
0:40
have not seen the new Star Wars movie that's out did.
0:44
You want me to say the Grogu movie?
0:46
The Grogu movie, the Baby Yoda movie.
0:50
But thus he didn't post their discord.
0:52
I mean that I found quite amusing.
0:55
Mandalorian Grogu becomes the most becomes the first movie to
0:58
be unspoilable because nothing even remotely memorable happens
1:01
throughout. Which is essentially what I
1:04
thought this movie was going to be.
1:06
Just a series of 1 liners and silly jokes.
1:10
There's been, there's plenty of reviews out and they're not all
1:13
that bad. Some people liked it, you know,
1:16
So I know Nate liked it. Nate messages.
1:20
OK, you liked it. Plenty of people have liked it.
1:23
OK, I'm I'm going to go see it. But yeah, I do think it is just
1:27
going to be like just a series of jokes, but that's what I got
1:30
from the trailer. With the main complaint I've
1:33
seen is that it could have been 3 episodes of the show.
1:38
Yeah, and there's. No need for it to have been a
1:40
movie like but I complies to lots of things these days like.
1:48
I wonder if it cost more to make, and it would have cost a
1:50
hell of a lot more to make than would have taken to make 3
1:53
episodes. Well, I don't know.
1:54
That's the thing though, right? If it, if it, they've just made
1:56
it the same as the show. And then I, I don't know.
1:58
It's a weird, weird kind. Of yeah, because if they did
2:02
make it the if it costs the same amount to see each episode,
2:04
they're going to be rolling in money, yeah.
2:08
Yeah, well, no, it's it's do I have this article in here?
2:12
Probably not. I just saw it before.
2:14
It's the weakest opening for a Star Wars movie ever.
2:18
I mean, that doesn't mean that's not going to make a fuck ton.
2:20
Of money but. It's it's the leastest Star Wars
2:23
movies ever made on release week, so.
2:26
Yeah, it's still going to make a fortune.
2:30
Still don't see why I don't do more about like May the Fourth.
2:33
Why coming out two weeks after May the Fourth?
2:36
Why not try to tie into that week I?
2:38
Mean I'm sure there's a reason, but yes, I don't know why they
2:42
don't make a movie about something people actually want
2:45
to see more about. I think people lost interest in
2:48
the Mandalorian. You know, the other thing too is
2:49
I've noticed a lot of the a lot of people have said they're
2:55
similar to to me and I think you now you've watched all of it.
2:58
I know. I think Dan's the same.
3:02
Watched two seasons of The Mandalorian and then forgot to
3:04
watch anymore and then now they're like going to see the
3:07
movie and I was like, wow, that's like seems quite common.
3:11
Like I don't know, I feel like. Well.
3:14
People have just burned out on Star Wars now.
3:16
I think they went way too hard. Well, I think what really killed
3:20
The Mandalorian was Boba Fett. Yes, that annoys people too.
3:26
Yeah. You had to watch Boba Fett to to
3:29
follow The Mandalorian. And that was just that was bad.
3:34
I agree again, there are people who liked that so.
3:37
I know, but. And that's not wrong, it's just
3:39
wrong. It is like the speed of bike
3:42
chase. I just hate that scene.
3:45
The slowest chase in history? And I've got to say, if you
3:50
liked Boba Fett the show, that's fine, but if you didn't like The
3:55
Acolyte, I don't. I just don't understand people.
4:02
He's not my Boba Fett, No, my Boba Fett was played by Jeremy
4:06
Bullock. Is he still around or?
4:10
Did he die? The week a while ago.
4:12
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
4:15
He was definitely, I met him. He was a very nice guy.
4:19
Yeah, I'm sure he didn't try to get you to hook up with him
4:26
after the show or anything. No, no.
4:29
No. No, that never happened.
4:31
So it's always I'm sorry. Maybe next time.
4:34
Oh wait, no, there won't be next.
4:36
Time. Actually, I wouldn't mind.
4:37
There are a few people I wouldn't mind hooking up with
4:39
after the show. Jeremy Bullock is one of.
4:42
Jeremy Bullock, yeah. Who else if you don't mind me
4:45
asking? What show are we talking about?
4:49
Are you drinking posito? I am.
4:52
Fucking hell, we don't have that here.
4:54
You make it be jealous. I forgot posito was a thing and
4:59
I was just at the shop, so I went.
5:00
I'm going to drink Posito. I used to buy cases of Pesito
5:03
when I lived with Dave and he thought that was fucking
5:05
hilarious for some reason. Drink problem is.
5:12
Well, ten of them. They're great.
5:15
So what, was I distracting you? Oh yeah, Who else do you want to
5:17
fuck? Yeah, well, it depends.
5:21
What show are we talking about? OK, there's a list, is there?
5:28
I can't actually think of anyone like am I at a party?
5:31
Am I watching their show? No, no, you're at, you're at a
5:34
con and you come up and it's, you know, it's it.
5:38
For example, what's his name from The Expanse who got fired?
5:42
It's a situation like that where you've gone up and you've got
5:44
your stuff and you're like, would you sign this for me?
5:46
And then he was like, yeah, I will sign it.
5:49
Anything else you want me to do? Maybe, you know, after the show.
5:53
Actually, there's quite a lot that I would be happily go home
5:56
with. Interesting.
5:58
Interesting. Any funny ones?
6:00
Otherwise, we'll just be here all night because yeah, sure.
6:03
Like Nellie Portman. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:05
OK. That's Nellie Portman,
6:06
politioned Jennifer Howe. Like, yeah, like, it's not
6:08
funny. It's just.
6:09
I'll sleep with Eddie. What?
6:11
Yeah, Yeah. All right.
6:12
Moving on then. Sorry.
6:14
I ruined your bit. No, it's fine.
6:17
It wasn't a good bit anyway. Let's see, how about William
6:23
Shatner? We've got some.
6:24
William, I'd go. I'd go home with the shat.
6:26
Yeah, yeah, All right. Well, William Shatner this week,
6:31
he's in the news. He's been causing havoc on
6:37
Twitter again, but there's a a Magic the Gathering card is.
6:44
It real or is it? It's a leaked commander.
6:48
Wait, hang on. Leaked.
6:49
Commander. It's a crossover with Magic the
6:54
Gathering. Running Magic the Gathering into
6:58
the ground, aren't they? Well, William Shatner seems to
7:03
think so, yeah. So he, he he's commented on it's
7:10
a Captain Kirk card from a Magic the Gathering deck.
7:14
And he has said basically, he said it looks a bit shit.
7:18
Yeah. It's, it's sort of going to suck
7:22
because no one's actually going to play with it because the, the
7:24
sets are going to come out like $1000 and people are going to
7:28
hoard them and sell them and. Yeah, right.
7:32
Play the actual game. I didn't.
7:36
Cards now, cards now. Just a an investment thing.
7:40
They're not for kids anymore. Yeah, OK.
7:43
It's like, I know I've seen people open packets of Pokémon
7:46
cards. I've not seen anybody play the
7:48
Pokémon. No, actually saw someone
7:51
recently, He was one of these people who likes to open cars
7:54
and then sell them and trades them.
7:56
And he goes, oh, and oh, here's a trader.
7:57
Yeah, I'm starting to learn how to play the game.
7:59
And these, I'm actually finding out are actually quite good if
8:01
you're learning to play. And he recommended that people
8:04
learn how to play. So yeah, you were buying the
8:08
cards on selling them. So people can't go and play.
8:13
It's too expensive and you can't buy any.
8:16
Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah.
8:21
William Shatner feels that this Captain Kirk was it.
8:26
He looks like he didn't have his Kellogg's Raisin Bran that
8:29
morning and will have trouble boldly going it's.
8:35
A. Bit constipated and he also said
8:37
it looks like it's AI. Which is.
8:40
Very not a good. I mean, if you're the artist,
8:45
that's not going to feel good because presumably it's not AI
8:48
because Wizards have gotten the trouble in trouble for that
8:50
before. But look, if I was to go because
8:55
their biggest, their last big thing I think crossover was
8:58
Final Fantasy. And if I was used to buy like a
9:01
box of boosters, which is what, 20 in a pack in a box I think.
9:07
I do not know. 2 1/2 thousand dollars.
9:11
Fucking hell. All right, really.
9:16
Sorry, there's 12. Oh, OK.
9:18
Oh, that's fine. Then there's 12 boosters.
9:22
I take it back that is that's reasonable.
9:24
Yeah. No.
9:25
OK, 2 1/2 grand. All right.
9:31
That's. Yeah, I tried.
9:33
I played. I learned Magic the Gathering at
9:36
a convention at some point and they were giving lessons.
9:39
And then I've not played it again since.
9:42
It's it's like crack. It's they'll give you the first
9:45
your first deck for free. Yeah, I don't think it.
9:50
Whatever it is about, it's not for me.
9:52
It doesn't get I. Don't like 2 player games?
9:59
OK. I think I prefer having like a a
10:02
few people playing a game or just.
10:03
Oh, I thought you can say you want to play solitaire.
10:05
Imagine gathering solitaire. No, I just think it's it's fun
10:11
to play with people, but only having two people, I feel you'd
10:13
always be leaving people out. Sure.
10:16
Oh, oh, sorry. You've got so many friends that
10:19
you have. Some of us only have one friend,
10:23
Luke. No, I just have hundreds of
10:24
board games. I have hundreds of board games
10:28
and no friends. We have that problem too.
10:31
We have hundreds of board games and no time is also there.
10:36
The issue I actually got the here's a massive magic free
10:40
board game and every single expansion which is like 12
10:44
boxes. What is it called?
10:46
Heroes of Might, the Magic. Free heroes of my magic.
10:48
Got it. I thought you said here is our
10:51
and then I missed the last bit and I was like fucking game is
10:54
that? I wasn't expecting so many
10:58
expansions that came with it and I've only opened one box so far.
11:02
Yeah, you just, you just put down the cash for everything.
11:05
I just like collecting games. Sure, I don't like reading how
11:09
to play them. No.
11:11
I I take four games to friends houses to go.
11:14
All right, you need to teach me how to play this.
11:16
Yeah, you really need a couple of friends.
11:18
Who? And let me know what.
11:19
To enjoy that part. And so we let them do that,
11:21
yeah. Yeah, even though they're my
11:23
games, I'll get them to read and teach me.
11:26
Yeah, I learned by doing. But in order to do it, someone
11:29
needs to know how. Yeah.
11:30
Otherwise we're not going to get anywhere.
11:33
And then most of the time I actually end up only playing the
11:35
same game over and over. Yeah, What's your current top
11:40
board game? It's really just King of Tokyo.
11:43
That's Oh yeah, I just played that a lot.
11:45
I've never played that Packs a lot I've.
11:48
Never played it. Really, it's a very easy game.
11:52
It's a good opening game. Yeah, I'm familiar with the
11:55
existence, I've just never played it.
11:57
You'll be able to play it soon. It's coming to Xbox.
12:00
Oh OK, well I'd have to buy it because I don't have game pass
12:04
although. I don't think it's even coming
12:05
to Game Pass, all right. Discord's offering me free
12:09
Nitro, which comes with Game Pass.
12:11
Now they're trying to Microsoft's trying to get me
12:13
back through. Through.
12:15
Tendrils, I think. They're trying to pull you back
12:18
in. Yeah, well, Speaking of Xbox.
12:23
Yes. So Forza Horizon 6 came out now
12:26
officially came out this week, but if you purchased it the
12:30
deluxe edition or the premium upgrade he got it early and got
12:34
it last week right just off that it made it to the top 10 most
12:39
played games that are already over a million people were
12:41
playing it before it was even officially released.
12:43
So I think it's a game pass. So I think it's doing well I.
12:46
Think it's a success? Yeah.
12:48
Yeah. I mean, I've heard a lot about
12:50
it. People seem to be loving it.
12:52
I like these games, so that's certainly tempting, but.
12:59
I got a shock because it's not cheap like just.
13:02
The Oh yeah, you mentioned that. It's $90.00 so.
13:05
Oh yeah, so to play this right, it's on Game Pass, yes, but what
13:11
don't I get if I just play it on Game Pass, which is what I
13:16
normally would do? You won't get the expansions
13:19
when they come out. That's OK.
13:21
Yeah, that's I'm used to that. You won't get the treasure map.
13:26
If you're going to go around and collect all the collectibles,
13:29
that's very useful. Oh OK.
13:31
Is it an actual physical map? It's not a physical map, no.
13:34
Goonie. Is it a goonie style map?
13:36
No. OK.
13:36
No, no, you just you bring up the map and it shows you where
13:39
they are on the map in the game. OK, so it's like cheating.
13:42
Yes. Yeah, got it.
13:44
And some cars that I don't even know which cars I got because.
13:48
OK. I was trying to compare the
13:50
race. Yeah.
13:52
All right. Well OK fine I've I have a
13:57
feeling that game pass is going to be in my future again soon.
14:00
I just don't know what level of it and I assume I need the top
14:02
like I was out. What are they calling it
14:04
Ultimate? I think I need ultimate.
14:06
Yeah, because probably, Yeah, because this they're not going
14:09
to release all day one games think code at all to you.
14:13
So I think you'd have to get the higher one.
14:15
I want to play the Indiana Jones expansion, but I'm going to have
14:20
to buy that presumably even if I have game pass.
14:23
Is that true? Yes.
14:25
Yeah, and then it makes me think there's a little part of me that
14:29
wants to get it on the Switch too, just to see.
14:33
But I'm wondering how much of A downgrade that's going to be.
14:35
And, and I'll have to play the whole game again, obviously,
14:38
because I finished it on the Xbox.
14:42
That's a that's a big investment.
14:44
And if it doesn't look as good because it will be a downgrade.
14:48
I know I'm just. Curious, I might I might look
14:50
into that. Or isn't it?
14:53
With some of the switched games you actually just play a
14:56
streamed version so it might look.
14:58
Yeah, some of the Resident Evil ones like that.
15:00
And I wondered so one of the things I was talking to someone
15:04
about this the other day about how oh is I think it was someone
15:08
at work. It's with with a kid.
15:11
It became difficult. It's getting easier, but it
15:14
became very difficult for a long time to play games consistently
15:17
for a long period of time. And like now I'm kind of more
15:21
able to play things like Dune or kind of exiles where you have to
15:24
kind of, But if I'm going to go play Dune, I can't just jump in
15:28
and quickly do a thing because it's I got to load the games,
15:31
going to load into the MMO. And then if I go to do
15:33
something, if I want to stop playing, I have to go back to my
15:35
base to log out. I just.
15:38
Well, you can, but. You can, but yeah, you can't log
15:41
in for a quick 15 minutes, play one match and log off.
15:44
You. Yeah.
15:44
I can't just, I can't just walk away from it, you know what I
15:48
mean? Like the game continues and I'm
15:50
in the world, whereas the Switch usually makes that kind of thing
15:56
pretty easy because most Switch games you hit the power button
15:58
and it goes to sleep. But those games, how does that
16:03
work? Like if I'm playing like RES, I
16:06
know Resident Evil Village I think specifically is one of
16:09
those games where it's streamed. So how does it work on the
16:14
Switch? And presumably I can't play it
16:16
without an Internet connection, which is also a little strange
16:20
for a Switch game. Yeah, takes away one of the big
16:23
sellers of the switch is that it's portable.
16:26
Right, but if it's your only console I guess you would just
16:29
deal with it. I don't know, I'm just curious
16:31
about listeners watches. Let us know, have you got?
16:35
Switch. And do you, have you played one
16:37
of the streaming games? And yeah, how does it work?
16:39
Is it just how you just have to log out and whatnot the way you
16:44
would? Normally and go back to your
16:45
last save. It's not like the Xbox One two
16:48
just quick resume. Yeah, yeah, like if I just hit
16:50
the power button on the switch, what happens?
16:56
I can't, I don't know what to tell you because I I'm not
16:58
buying a switch to this time. I brought the original switch.
17:01
I played it twice. I love my Switch.
17:05
I'm trying to get into. I want a little, just a little
17:09
game I can pick up and goof around in.
17:11
And everybody talks about Stardew Valley constantly.
17:15
Yes. And I cannot get into that game.
17:17
I just cannot and I don't. Everybody loves it like you have
17:22
played it. Yeah, I have.
17:24
I've played a little bit of it and I'm saying my I don't get
17:27
what the big fuss is about. I don't get, and it's got to be
17:30
me. People love that fucking game.
17:33
It's sort of like it's what's the other game you've been
17:37
playing on the Switch? Do you mean graveyard keeper?
17:43
Not graveyard keeper I like. That.
17:46
That's I like, that's a great game.
17:48
See, that's what I mean. Like what?
17:49
People like study Valley more so like why don't I?
17:54
What have I been playing on the Switch?
17:55
Have I been playing on the Switch?
17:58
Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing.
18:00
That's the one, because it seems just like an extended, expanded
18:03
version of Animal Crossing. Like you go around, you build
18:06
little things, but they bring in combat a little bit more.
18:10
You can, but my understanding is you don't have to do anything
18:12
you don't want to do. No, I think, I think the thing
18:15
that stresses me, you know, you have like a limited number of
18:19
things you can do every day. Yeah, I think that stresses me
18:22
out and maybe I just need to get over that You're.
18:27
Just worried about your time management and what you should
18:29
be committing to because you don't want to run out of energy
18:32
and. Yeah, but from what I'm hearing,
18:34
I'm worrying about a thing that doesn't matter because like you
18:38
could, there's no time limit in the game or anything.
18:40
No, you're not. Maybe it just.
18:44
Feels like I'm not being efficient, yes.
18:47
Because I'm like, maybe have a look at it again, maybe if
18:51
released like an endless mode or something.
18:53
Oh yeah, you don't have to worry about that.
18:55
Maybe because there might be other people out there like you,
18:57
I. Don't know why I'm so like
18:58
determined to fucking force myself to like this game.
19:02
I don't know. I just got like a people at work
19:04
were talking about it like this week and they were going, Oh
19:08
yeah, they just love it so much. And I was like, why don't I love
19:10
it? What's wrong with me?
19:13
What's wrong with me? You just can't join in on those
19:17
conversations, yeah. Yeah, except to be that annoying
19:20
person who's like, well, actually I don't like that game.
19:27
So games that you don't like go on Grand Theft Auto 60.
19:33
Yeah, it's still coming. Yeah, not delayed, still coming
19:38
in November. I don't know that I don't like
19:42
it. You just don't tend to like the
19:44
Grand Theft Auto games in general.
19:48
Yeah, well, it's not even I don't like them.
19:50
I just don't think of them. And then I got better things to
19:53
play. I I wouldn't even.
19:54
It's not that I disliked them, I just I'm fairly like eh about
19:58
them. I quite like these sort of open
20:00
world games, especially when they introduce first person to
20:03
it. Again, clearly I'm wrong.
20:04
Everybody likes Oh yes, because this is going to make billions
20:08
of dollars day one. Not from me.
20:13
No, from me it will. I may never play this, but I
20:20
Yeah. So where is this one set?
20:25
This one's going back to Vice City, I believe.
20:28
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
20:29
OK, Yeah, I remember that game. I mean, I played a bit of that.
20:33
I played a bit of all of them. Yeah, I finished all of them.
20:37
I when they did the re release, I tried to go through and replay
20:41
them because I really enjoyed them when they originally came
20:45
out, yeah. Could.
20:46
Could not get into the re release version so the graphics
20:50
looking a little bit better. Just the controls were just
20:53
wrong. They didn't feel natural.
20:57
What? What did they change?
21:00
It's not that they didn't change anything, it's the fact that
21:03
they they were the same controls they had back in the day and it
21:06
just didn't feel wrong. I see, I see, I see.
21:12
Yeah, they janky. Yeah, I remember Red Dead
21:17
Redempt. See, I like those games.
21:19
I never finished two, but I did like those games. 2 was a very
21:22
long game. Yeah, but if you're.
21:25
Just I'm to get some real start of the game.
21:27
Just getting through the snow takes you an hour.
21:29
Yes, I remember when the I tried to play the first Red Dead
21:33
Redemption like long, long, long time ago, I think on my 360 and
21:38
I thought the controls for that were atrocious.
21:41
And I actually gave up on the game for a long time and then
21:46
they patched it, I guess because I think we talked about this in
21:50
the show. Dan and I moved into the
21:51
apartment, didn't have Internet and I got the game and then like
21:58
was infuriated by it. And then when we and then ranted
22:02
about it on the podcast, I think, and then we got Internet
22:04
and then I was like, oh, OK. Nevermind.
22:06
Because that's what used to happen.
22:07
You'd buy a game, you didn't need the Internet, and you could
22:10
play it straight from the disk, but that's it.
22:12
You just got what was on the disk.
22:14
But most games were coming up with day one patches back then.
22:19
Yeah, but no. And.
22:20
Now as well. Yeah, well, some of them.
22:24
There's been some games like I've pre loaded and then the day
22:27
one patch is you basically reinstall the entire game.
22:30
It's sort of like why am I pre loading this then yeah?
22:33
I know it's, yeah, I mean, I understand it's games are much
22:37
more complicated these days, but it is frustrating.
22:40
Well, it's been 13 years since Grand Theft Auto 5 came out.
22:45
What? I'm pretty sure that's funny.
22:50
Double check A5 release date. Yeah, it came yeah. 17th of
22:58
September, 2013. Yeah, right.
23:03
And they've just been sitting back making a fortune off of
23:06
their online. Yeah.
23:10
Didn't make any single player content and I still hate them
23:12
for that, but I've still purchased a game like 5 times or
23:17
something ridiculous. Just just on that topic of time
23:22
passing, someone said the other day and we try to do the math
23:25
right in my head, it's been longer since it's been longer
23:31
since 1980 than it was from 1950 in 1980.
23:36
Yes. Yeah, or like 19851955.
23:42
Yeah. So if they were to make, if they
23:44
were to make, Back to the Future now.
23:47
He'd be going back to 1985. No, he'd go back to the 90s.
23:53
Oh, fuck off, all right. Yeah.
23:58
Right. That sucks.
23:59
All right. I keep.
24:03
Yeah. 2026. Fucking hell, man.
24:05
Yeah. All right.
24:07
Yeah, it's just going so quick, like June is next week.
24:12
June happens every year. So that's, yeah, we're halfway
24:17
through. I know it's going to be 2027.
24:21
I know when I see stuff now and it's like, oh, that's not coming
24:23
out until 2027. I'm like, oh, that's fucking
24:25
ages away. No, it's not.
24:26
No, it's not. It's really not.
24:29
Yeah, all right, so GTA is still in November.
24:33
Yep, because I think people are starting to worry they're not
24:36
hearing any news but I I doubt they could they there's no way
24:42
they can move it again, they'd upset the Internet far too much.
24:47
Yeah. And you don't want to upset the
24:49
Internet. It's a bad idea.
24:53
Because they'll get upset for 5 minutes before they find before
24:57
they move on to the next thing and then still buy the game when
25:00
it comes out. So 6 is going to have online
25:04
stuff too, presumably. Do we know any of that stuff
25:07
about it? It will, but I doubt it'll be
25:10
day one. Right.
25:12
Because remember even before the five I think came out like 6
25:16
months after. Yeah, Red Dead 2 as well, right?
25:20
Yeah, they want people to play the single player first, then
25:23
they release it so and then it'll be a year before they
25:26
released APC version. That's right.
25:30
I remember when Red Dead Redemption 2 Live came out and
25:34
people were. Oh.
25:38
Be trying to what do you call that?
25:41
I mean being racist but what what what did they re enacting
25:45
actual period appropriate attitudes and it's like.
25:50
And it's also beating up on the women who were fighting for
25:54
women's suffrage and, Oh yeah, through the streets and.
25:58
The YouTube videos of that. Yeah, yeah.
26:03
Very funny. So there's some other Xbox news
26:11
and the Xbox head of strategy says console gaming is
26:19
important, durable and still growing.
26:21
And I'm assuring, assuming this is in the context of like people
26:26
are worried that with all the cloud stuff, consoles won't be a
26:32
thing anymore. And like, it's a bit weird,
26:37
right? Because the he still might mean
26:41
that yes, the way that they think of it, you know, like so
26:45
like if Xbox is just streaming, well, that's not I don't think
26:50
that's what people mean when they say they want consoles,
26:52
right. No, to me they want a console
26:56
where they can just put a disk in and the game.
26:59
Runs on the console, and you don't necessarily have to have
27:02
it hooked up to the Internet or anything.
27:04
But we haven't had that for two generations now.
27:08
Yeah, yeah. Well, as we said earlier with
27:11
all the patches and stuff. Yeah.
27:13
It's not. We don't live in a world where
27:15
you could go buy a console and put it in a cabin in the woods
27:19
with no Internet. And go buy.
27:21
A game on disk and put the game in and expect the fucking game
27:24
to work. No, of course not, because they
27:27
don't you. Also, even if even if you could
27:29
do that, you didn't still have to wait for the game to install.
27:33
Oh yeah, play from the disk. That's true, but but like the
27:36
version of the game that you get on the disc is is not actually
27:40
unplayable. Yes, like what?
27:43
Imagine if you had Cyberpunk 2037.
27:47
Imagine if you had just tried to play that off for.
27:49
Me mate, worked fine for me. I don't know what people would
27:52
complain about. I played through that whole
27:55
game, it was fine. We will.
27:56
I think I had to do one hard reset, but we were lucky enough
27:59
to have Xbox Series X as day one.
28:01
Yeah, yeah. No, no, I know it was a if I was
28:05
on the Xbox One, I would have been furious because I I was
28:08
gagging for that game. Yeah, and they would.
28:11
They did do good and they did make that game playable.
28:14
But because of that, we missed out on.
28:15
More than playable mate. That game is like phenomenal and
28:20
they'd only made it better and better and better.
28:22
Yeah, but we missed out on additional DLC because they
28:26
focus so much on making it playable on the older.
28:29
I see. I see.
28:30
Yeah. Yeah, we missed out on more
28:32
content that could have been there.
28:34
Yeah, that's a shame. Even though I didn't finish the
28:36
deal, so that came out. Phantom Liberty.
28:40
Yeah, I just forgot how to play the game.
28:43
Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's tough.
28:47
But no, I think it's still going to be streaming is going to be
28:50
the future, which I'm not a fan of.
28:54
No, but I do feel like that's the reality.
28:57
Yeah, as I've said, like I reckon we've got one more
29:01
console generation that's just full on console generation, and
29:04
then it's going to be all streaming from then on, because
29:08
there's been a few streaming services that have tried that
29:10
just haven't worked. But now you've got like you're
29:12
using GeForce Now, isn't it? Yeah, Yeah.
29:16
And you're streaming everything off that and it's all fine.
29:18
Yeah. It's great.
29:19
Yeah. I haven't turned my Xbox on in.
29:23
I don't even want. I don't even think about how
29:25
long it's been since I turned my Xbox on.
29:27
But you can already, you can also, you've got Xbox Cloud, you
29:30
can already start doing that. And so it's the way in the
29:34
future. People just need to accept it
29:36
even though I don't want it either.
29:38
I mean, everything is like that. Look at the way we record this
29:40
now. Yeah.
29:42
Like the way we used to do this show.
29:46
Four of us in A room. Yeah, yeah.
29:48
We went from four of us in a room, not we didn't need
29:50
Internet or anything from that. We just I'd have to travel up
29:53
from Sydney. We record 4 episodes in one go.
29:57
Yeah. And we switched to everybody.
30:00
We did it online, but everybody had to record their side of the
30:03
conversation so we could put them all together and then and.
30:09
Then. Yeah, various encourages that,
30:11
Yeah. And then now we just do it like
30:12
this and it just records everything.
30:14
Yep. No matter how I can complain
30:17
kicking and kicking and screaming, it's just it's got
30:20
stuff's going to change. It's.
30:22
You should need to accept it sometimes.
30:24
I mean, this is very convenient versus the.
30:26
Yeah, this makes life a lot easier.
30:27
Like you're travelling now and you're still just able to do it.
30:30
When I was travelling around Asia.
30:33
Right. Yeah, exactly.
30:33
Yeah, you, You recorded this show from a fucking bar in Laos
30:37
or the fuck? You were at the time.
30:39
Like. I just in the middle.
30:41
I was ordering Ball B, Yeah, I didn't have to find a quiet pub.
30:45
But then now you. Can be weird.
30:48
And I I'm not sure you'd be able to play your Xbox in such a
30:51
situation because you need higher.
30:55
No, there's a few. There's big countries I'd be
30:59
able to win, Thailand and I think Vietnam, but I mean you.
31:01
Need a? You need a fast connection.
31:03
Like yes. You need guaranteed for.
31:06
Otherwise, yeah, well, it depends on what you're playing I
31:07
suppose. But.
31:08
Yeah, but yeah, I'd still have fun.
31:13
But yeah, so don't worry, we're still getting another console.
31:16
It's just going to cost you $3,000,000.
31:20
Yeah, Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
31:22
The point of this is they are still making a new Xbox, as
31:25
unaffordable as that will be. Yes, given the current
31:27
situation. Because people need to go on to
31:31
AI and ask them to make people have bigger boobs.
31:36
Yep, that's a human right. Yeah, I still say AI is pretty
31:45
useful for some things. Oh, I find it very useful as
31:49
well. But I think a lot of it that you
31:52
do see, the stuff that you see on social media is all crap.
31:56
A lot of it just and it's being used a lot more for scamming
32:00
people now which sucks. I tried the other day, people, a
32:06
lot of people talk about, you know, having multiple AI agents
32:11
doing all this stuff to make their day easier.
32:13
And so I was like, I got to get in on this.
32:15
So I, I've set up, I have a on my server at home, I've set up
32:21
some stuff just to play with it. And I was like, OK, what can I
32:27
have this thing do? And I couldn't think of anything
32:30
because I, my life, I intentionally like keep it
32:35
simple, I think. And like, because I was trying
32:39
to figure out what do these people have these AI agents
32:41
doing? And it's like, oh, you know,
32:42
they've got meetings all day and they've got like thousands of
32:45
emails and this kind of stuff. And I'm like, oh man, I protect
32:47
that. Like, like, I don't have that
32:51
problem because I've been, I've always been really like
32:54
protective of that kind of thing where it's like, no, no, my
32:57
inbox needs to be empty. And if I get an e-mail and I
33:00
don't want to hear from it, I fucking unsubscribe or I just
33:03
block it. Like I don't have thousands of
33:05
emails in there. My emails would make you feel so
33:09
uncomfortable if you saw them. Probably you're one of those
33:13
thousands of unread emails kind of people.
33:16
I, I and I also never delete anything either.
33:19
So I don't delete them, I archive them.
33:21
But they're all in inbox. Inbox.
33:25
Only stuff that's in my inbox is stuff that I have to do
33:29
something with and it won't be in there long because I have to
33:31
move it from there into my I have A to do app because if I
33:34
don't put stuff in my to do app, it's not going to get done.
33:37
I'm like, I'm just, I have systems and the systems need to
33:40
be obeyed and I have to do it. So there's just nothing for an
33:45
AI agent? To do what I do.
33:47
I'm the AI. To do for me is I did, I took a
33:50
lot of photos when I was on my trip and I want them to, I want
33:53
them to go through my photos and just pick out the ones that are
33:57
good. Just let me know.
34:01
And then they're the ones I'll share with the people I've been
34:02
on a trip with that. Yeah.
34:05
OK. I'm not sure that'll work for me
34:07
too, because I feel like I have weird tastes as far as photos
34:10
go. I like vibes more than I do
34:15
actually like good photos. Yeah, I'm learning like because
34:18
I like a photo. I got all this.
34:19
I like this. And then generally like, that's
34:21
not the best photo and I'm like, I don't know.
34:23
I like it. I don't know what to do.
34:24
I like about it. I can't put it into words.
34:26
So I'm not sure an AI agent would be able.
34:28
To well this is not really for me, this is for other people.
34:34
Can't Google just do that though?
34:36
Well, can I just need to actually load my photos up
34:39
first? That's step one.
34:41
Because couldn't you just go into Gemini and say just find me
34:45
the good photos from when I was in Vietnam and it it probably
34:47
would be able to do that? Probably able to do that, but
34:49
I've got some that are on my camera that are on my SD card
34:52
that I still haven't uploaded yet.
34:54
OK, well, it can't do that. You're going to have to do that
34:57
step one, upload photos. Yeah.
35:02
I'm not as all the most as you. This might surprise you.
35:05
I've got we're going to see how this works, but I do have my
35:09
little agent set to e-mail me when someone dies and I because
35:15
I feel like we sometimes miss them.
35:16
No, no, no, I was this is the thing I they could think of is
35:20
so we're going to see if this helps like pad geek of the week.
35:24
Yeah, because yeah, I did see. Literally, it will read the
35:28
obituaries every day and it will let me know who died.
35:32
Because I have had a sneak peek at who You forgot to think Geek
35:36
of the Week this week and. Well, this one was in my feed
35:40
anyway, because yeah, I know you.
35:43
Don't, but we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
35:46
This is who you've got A sweet contender, but.
35:48
Like that, Surely that's not the only person who's.
35:50
Died. There must be other people who
35:51
have died this week. Yeah, I think.
35:53
But if you do want to find out who's up for being a potential
35:56
geek of the week, you will need to go to patreon.com/mortal
35:59
Nogasm. Sign up for a $5 tea and you'll
36:03
get access to the after party, which is where we're going to
36:05
continue talking after the show. You can also help support us for
36:08
those $1.00 a week, and you also get access to the Discord as
36:12
well, as well as a backlog of after party shows.
36:17
But yeah, if you've got stuff that you want to share with us
36:20
that you'd like us to talk about, throw it in Discord.
36:22
Yep. I actually read it.
36:24
Or e-mail it if you want to podcast at www.com, we'll also
36:29
go there. Also, don't freak out if you
36:30
think is the show over already? No, we just remembered to do
36:34
this instead of just throwing it on at the end.
36:36
Yeah, I just, I just felt like a natural time to bring it up.
36:40
Yeah. Game news, a game I like, but I,
36:46
you know, I don't like I said, I don't have a lot of time to
36:48
play, but I do like Destiny Two. However, it's coming to an end.
36:54
In a sense, it's still going to exist.
36:56
Yeah, but they will not be making new content for Destiny 2
37:01
after June, and they've laid off a bunch of people,
37:07
unfortunately, at Bungie because that's how games work.
37:13
I think this one has been a pretty good run.
37:19
See, I I tried to play and I get to a certain point in it and
37:22
then the cup gets to the grindy part and then gets to rage,
37:26
stuff like that. And I just chewed out once we
37:28
get there. Yeah, no, I really like it.
37:30
It's just like I said, it's hard for me to commit to one game.
37:34
I even like do an awakening. I have to go in and power up my
37:39
base. So that's all I've done.
37:42
You know, I go in, I Potter around a bit and I put.
37:44
But it's got you going back all the time.
37:46
It's got your. Destiny doesn't have a hook like
37:49
that. No, and the problem is if you
37:52
were probably to go in and play Destiny now from the last time
37:54
you played it, it's probably a completely different game.
37:57
Oh yeah, we've talked about this before.
37:58
Yeah, yeah. After a long break it like
38:00
sometimes it just throws you straight into a mission and I'm
38:03
like what the fuck is happening? Yeah, yeah.
38:06
And it's just trying to catch you up on the story that you've
38:08
missed. And it's.
38:09
Yeah. Yeah, but I mean it is good like
38:12
the gameplay is good like as a first person shooter I think
38:16
it's I didn't really solid. Didn't enjoy it, but yeah, just
38:19
this is a game that you need to commit a lot of time to and be
38:22
across and you need to really play with people, with raids and
38:26
stuff. But it moved.
38:28
On to play with me. I just like I said, don't.
38:31
It's the time actually, and also it's harder with people in
38:35
Australia, obviously. Yeah, for me.
38:38
But what it is at the moment is I think people are moving away
38:42
from these MMO type games and they're moving more over to
38:47
Deluders like Marathon and Arcaders, where you sort of go
38:51
in, collect resources, then you've got to extract the
38:54
resources. That seems to be where the trend
38:57
is going at the moment. OK, so I played Arcaders, I
39:01
didn't mind that. Marathon, I just couldn't get
39:04
into marathon. The Arc Raiders I really
39:07
enjoyed. You collect resources in
39:09
Marathon. Yeah, it's now an extraction
39:13
shooter. It's not a first person shooter
39:16
this marathon. It's still first person, but.
39:20
I feel like I don't know that I've played one of these.
39:22
I I mean I've played Borderlands which.
39:24
That's yeah. No, that's a Gluda shooter.
39:26
That's a Gluda shooter. It.
39:27
Was there were parts of the parts of the division that were
39:30
like this? Yeah, yes.
39:32
Yeah, yeah. And so that's what now the game
39:35
has gone to completely. It's just you go in, collect
39:38
stuff, go back to your base, upgrade your weapons, upgrade
39:41
your base, go out. You play with other people and
39:45
some people are nice and other people will just sit there and
39:49
care if you will murder you. But in upgraders, they've
39:53
actually got a really good thing where if you're someone who
39:55
likes to be aggressive and shoot out the players, they'll try and
39:59
match you with other players that like to play like that and
40:02
other people who like to just play friendly, just pass them by
40:05
or help they'll. Just teamed up with them.
40:08
Yep, not all the time, but some people are just Dicks.
40:12
Oh. Great is.
40:15
No, I I arthritis was I enjoyed marathon, just couldn't get.
40:19
OK, I've seen this box art. Let's see, what does this game
40:23
look like? Oh, interesting.
40:26
Bugs like giant robots. Oh, they're robots.
40:30
So rogue AI has taken over the earth type of thing.
40:35
My my rogue AI agent, it decided that it was going to create
40:39
Geeks of the week. Maybe that's maybe I'm going to
40:44
bring about the end of humanity by asking my AI agent to.
40:49
It just gets so upset that's not able to find anyone in the
40:52
podcast and I keep rejecting all its selections and it just goes
40:57
bad and yeah. It sounds kind of cool.
41:00
I could, yeah. I bet.
41:02
No, Yeah, I could. It's going to be a time sync
41:05
that I don't have time for, so maybe I shouldn't look at this.
41:09
This is one that I can drop in and out of a little bit more.
41:12
Like you can drop in and play a couple of matches and then log
41:15
off. You don't have to worry about
41:16
upkeep or anything, so. Oh, OK.
41:19
Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to stick with
41:22
Dune for now. I do like.
41:23
It Yeah, yeah, you probably stick to one game at a time.
41:27
Don't be like me. He's playing Forza Horizon 6 and
41:29
Lego Batman. Lego Batman?
41:33
I'm not sure is yeah. New Lego Batman came out
41:37
yesterday. All of my Lego games.
41:41
Yeah, I'm torn between Dune Awakening and Conan Exiles now
41:46
because of the Conan Exiles update.
41:47
Oh. God, it's so good.
41:49
So which one looks better now? Oh, interesting.
41:54
I would say maybe Dune still because was designed with the
42:05
better engine in mind. Yeah, whereas kind of exiles is
42:07
kind of like still got little clunky things.
42:11
Yeah, but it's it's on. A basically just wrapped a new
42:14
skin around it and went off and. Depends.
42:17
Better looking depends on what you want to look at.
42:19
Yeah. Is in a certain sense Conan
42:22
Exiles Looks better if you know what.
42:25
I mean, could that be because when you're creating your
42:29
character in Dune, they're they're clothed?
42:32
Let's just say Conan Exiles is a lot hornier than than Dune
42:37
Awakening. OK, OK.
42:41
I'll keep that in mind. Yeah, but I mean, other than
42:45
that it's the same game, you know, Like the combat in Conan
42:48
excels, I find frustrating. But the other aspects of it, I
42:53
don't know. Like something about the stuff,
42:58
not the horniness, the, I don't know, it's just it's a good
43:04
combo of all the different things I like.
43:06
This is not sounding good. No, it's really not.
43:10
I have resource gathering, building, building a base.
43:14
Having people work for. Yeah, enslaving people, you
43:17
know, Yeah, it's a great game. Giving them jobs without paying
43:22
them. Oh, they they get paid.
43:25
I don't know if they like what I pay them but.
43:31
All right, let's move on. Oh, OK, some James Bond news.
43:40
There's more James Bond news already.
43:42
Yes, they are auditioning people.
43:46
The auditioning is happening. Yeah, we spoke about this last
43:48
week. OK, In that case, this news is
43:52
that it's not going to be a period piece, was the main take
43:57
away from this article. People were thinking, is it
44:00
going to go back and be like a 50s style Bond film because
44:05
that's what the books were. Yeah.
44:07
And no, that is not the case that.
44:10
It's not. No, it's going to be.
44:12
Modern. Modern.
44:14
So, OK, we'll see. Yeah.
44:19
And the script is finished. We talked about that I think
44:21
last. Week.
44:21
Yeah, yeah. So scripts done.
44:24
They're looking for people. I'm.
44:27
I'm putting my hand up. They're also just anyone who's
44:31
out there. There's been like odds and ends,
44:33
people saying people have auditioned, have that like
44:36
they've done their audition so. OK, I I I should maybe check?
44:41
Nobody I know. I should check my e-mail.
44:45
Yes. Might be in some way that I've
44:47
missed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:48
I mean, we made it pretty clear that you're interested.
44:51
So yes, yeah, I don't know why they wouldn't have contacted.
44:54
You yet? Yeah, because yeah, I'm in.
44:56
I'm cheap. Yes, free.
45:00
In fact, I would say potentially not to, you know, I'm not don't
45:06
want to get ahead of myself and offer you up for free if you're
45:10
not not interested, but. No, no, I'm prepared to do this
45:13
for free. Would you?
45:16
Would you be in a life estranged television series, Luke?
45:19
Would you be up for that? You like those games, right?
45:24
I love those games. I'm actually playing another one
45:26
at the moment. Oh, there you go, they are
45:29
making ATV show of it. OK, so I could I could see this
45:35
being ATV show. They've got four people lined up
45:39
to be in it already. Maybe you could be the 5th?
45:43
The problem is a lot of them are sort of seem to be angsty
45:46
teenage girls. What's the problem?
45:52
I don't think having me as the guy around the angsty teenage
45:57
girls is the best look for me. I've not played the games.
45:59
Is that not well? What?
46:01
What happens in the games? I know?
46:03
All I know about the games is that they're like point and
46:05
clicky sort of, And a girl has powers.
46:09
Yes, such a very wide time. OK, so in the first one,
46:15
spoilers ends up that there's the old guy, that there is a guy
46:21
that's in it. There you go.
46:22
Ends up being a murderer who kidnaps teenage girls to torture
46:30
them for his photography. OK.
46:33
And takes photos of them while torturing them and sometimes
46:37
goes a bit too far and that's why they die.
46:40
So that I don't want to play that part.
46:43
Why it'd be a challenge for you it'd.
46:47
Be a big challenge. I'd have to look at the photos.
46:52
I like taking photos, I don't like looking at them.
46:54
OK, well, you know, I think a lot of killers are strange.
46:59
Like that I'm not a method actor so.
47:01
True, true. Is that what the game's about?
47:05
I didn't know that. Yeah, the first one's about,
47:07
yeah, she can rewind time and it's a whole story about how a
47:11
girl's gone missing and yeah, OK.
47:13
Yeah, I knew that. But then she gets yeah.
47:16
And then the the second one was following a brother, two
47:20
brothers, as they sort of ran from the law.
47:22
And then they found out no, people like the story of Max, so
47:26
they went back to that. And so I'm playing the current
47:30
ones at the moment. So there was one that was set
47:34
before Life is Strange which follows.
47:38
Life is normal. Life is normal.
47:40
And then I'm playing the one I'm playing at the moment, sort of
47:42
set 10 years after and you're playing as Max again as she's
47:47
now teaching photography. OK.
47:50
And then there's another, there's one coming out that I'm
47:53
playing at the moment that came out very quickly.
47:56
That's this reunion where the two main characters get back
47:59
together and then trying to stop the school from burning down.
48:03
And then there's another one coming out later this year,
48:06
which follows the story following the other girls in her
48:10
life leading up before she met Max.
48:11
So it's all yeah. Like just making pumping them
48:15
out. They are, they really are, but I
48:17
enjoy them. Yeah.
48:19
Yeah, I'm all for this. Lots of people do OK.
48:24
But yeah, it's going to be set up and followed sort of like
48:27
the. I should play the first one
48:30
catch up. Well, you could maybe watch it
48:34
and I. Could probably play it on my
48:35
switch too. Yeah, I've played the first one
48:38
I think 3 times because released on different versions and
48:43
achievement sack. All right, it's like a just,
48:46
it's like a adventure game, right?
48:47
You kind of wander around and do stuff you.
48:49
Walk around, do stuff, talk to people.
48:50
And then there's puzzles where you've got to use your power of
48:53
rewinding time to work out how to do things and.
48:57
Yeah, just like. The story's quite good.
48:58
I really enjoyed. Highly recommend.
49:01
Well, I. Already know what's going to
49:02
happen now, but that's fine. Well, I did say spoil a warning
49:06
for a game that came out 10 years ago.
49:09
Probably longer than that actually.
49:11
Yeah, it came out on the three 60s originally.
49:15
Yeah. All right.
49:18
All right. Well, yeah, Amazon's making ATV
49:21
show of it. Cool.
49:23
OK. Yep, I'm in.
49:26
Oh, you know what, I'm going to move that down here just for
49:28
fun. All right?
49:32
Well, so Oh yeah, we've got some.
49:36
This is sort of follow up, I suppose, in a way.
49:40
Concert tickets, right? We've complained about concert
49:44
tickets I think before. And there's this, you know, this
49:47
Ticketmaster lawsuit's been on over here with like Ticketmaster
49:51
owns everything related to concert tickets and so they can
49:53
like just make them very expensive and.
49:55
And then they charge extra fees on top of the fees that.
49:59
Right. And then on, on, on that note,
50:01
actually I looked there's billboards around Rhode Island
50:05
right now because Metallica are going to be playing at Mohegan
50:08
Sun, which is a casino. And that'd be amazing to see.
50:12
I've never seen Metallica for some reason.
50:15
Because they've always been. Excuse me?
50:19
They've always been very expensive to see in Australia.
50:22
I think when they came out, this was a long time ago and it was
50:27
like $150.00 and at the time that was.
50:30
A lot of money that was an. Obscene amount of money.
50:32
It's probably not now anyway. I was like, Oh yeah, I'll go see
50:36
Metallica. No, no I won't because I will
50:39
not pay $600 to sit it up the back 600 fucking dollars.
50:45
$600.00 I want to speak at the front. 600 bucks to sit at the
50:51
back like what is happening? So I don't know if this is going
50:57
to fix that, but one of the problems Ticketmaster, I guess
51:03
enables is that the tickets will go on sale and you can resell
51:07
them. So yeah.
51:09
Scalpers and it's reselling sites and.
51:12
People will just buy them all up and then resell them for a fuck
51:14
ton of money. So I don't know if that's what's
51:16
happening with this Metallica thing because that just seems
51:18
insane to me. But Spotify is going to do this
51:22
thing where if you are one of the, you know, like, do you use
51:29
Spotify? I use Google.
51:31
OK, Spotify will, you know, you've seen Spotify Wrapped and
51:35
all that, right? Yeah, Yeah.
51:36
It tells you like you're in the top X percentage of fans of
51:40
whatever band and all that kind of stuff.
51:42
I think that if you're one of the top fans of a band, you will
51:49
get early access to buy tickets and you can't fake it kind of
51:56
thing. So the idea is that this will
51:57
stop scalpers from doing that because they just won't have
52:01
access to them unless they are like for some reason like also
52:07
fans of of a band. Or they just set up an account
52:12
and just have it on repeat. Well, so OK, this it says we'll
52:18
identify real fans based on factors like streams, shares,
52:21
and other Spotify activity, and we'll also monitor the activity
52:24
of premium users to ensure they're real humans and not
52:26
bots. If you're 1 of an artist's most
52:29
dedicated fans, you'll have the opportunity to purchase 2
52:32
tickets during a dedicated window, typically around a day.
52:37
OK, I I think it's pretty cool. Yeah, it sounds like it could be
52:42
good. Yeah.
52:46
They they caution there will more than likely be more super
52:49
fans than there are seats available on a tour, so not
52:52
every fan will end up receiving an offer like for Yeah, I
52:56
imagine someone like Taylor Swift, like the ACT, the fans
53:01
outnumber the seats any given show.
53:03
Like yeah, it's just not possible.
53:05
But no I can. But this would prevent scalpers.
53:08
In theory, I think it's a pretty good idea.
53:10
Well. Even just having a better limit
53:13
on tickets sales and. Just stop.
53:17
Reselling. Because I think one of the
53:20
things that's always sad is then somebody really loves a band and
53:23
they don't get to go just because, you know, other people
53:26
bought the tickets. And this would stop that.
53:27
And but then conversely, I suppose is this might mean, you
53:33
know, a casual fan wouldn't be able to get tickets at all.
53:36
This is the opportunity to, yeah.
53:39
So I guess that's an aspect of it as well, like someone who's a
53:42
casual fan but also gets up really early in the morning to
53:44
buy the tickets kind of thing. You won't be able to do that
53:47
like. Yeah, no, I think it's a step in
53:51
the right direction. But because I that's always been
53:53
hard. I remember having to sleep out
53:55
to buy tickets. Yeah.
53:57
And he still weren't guaranteed to get a ticket.
54:01
Yeah, we used to line up in the parking lot.
54:03
Yeah. Oh, I'm going to go see a band
54:07
in October. What band?
54:10
Tism. It's a serious mum tism.
54:15
Yep, they're still around, I take it.
54:17
They asked they yeah, they're, they've come.
54:20
One of the one of the main guys died a few years ago.
54:24
They said like, we're not coming back because it was a big push
54:26
for them to be our Eurovision contestants.
54:31
And they basically came out and went like, look, we're all one
54:34
of the guys has died, we're not doing it.
54:35
And then they started playing shows again.
54:37
Yeah, right. And they missed Eurovision.
54:40
Yeah, next year I'm definitely going to go see them because.
54:44
Australia's Eurovision this year didn't see it activity watching
54:47
the Romanian 1. The Romanian one was sick.
54:50
I didn't watch any. I don't watch Eurovision.
54:54
There's a few. Of friends who are into it.
54:57
Yeah, yeah, I'm not definitely not into it.
54:59
There was just, there were a few this year, like there was the
55:02
the Croatian one was very good. The the Croatian one and the
55:08
Serbian one were both very good, very different.
55:11
One was metal and 1 was like a traditional like like chant kind
55:18
of thick. It was fucking cool though.
55:20
And then the Romanian 1 was a metal band too.
55:22
I think we have started to send better contestants because it
55:25
wasn't the first year we were able to enter.
55:27
We can't win, but we're able to enter.
55:29
I think we sent Guy Sebastian. Oh, OK.
55:32
Oh, I know. Who was Australia's.
55:33
I do know this. It was Delta Goodrem.
55:35
Why? Yeah, that's exactly, exactly
55:39
why. Oh, I guess someone.
55:42
Some people like her, I guess. I know, but Tizen would have
55:45
been better. This one feels more in the
55:48
spirit of the show. The reason I remember is because
55:51
when I yeah, because I remember thinking, why is, is Delta
55:55
Goodrem still a artist like? I don't think she stopped, I
56:00
don't think. I would have thought she'd
56:03
retired by now. Delta Goodrem, Yeah.
56:15
Yeah, still. So she's just singing a
56:16
songwriter and actress. Yeah, fair enough.
56:20
I'm just haven't. I'm not in Australia so I don't
56:24
hear anything about her at all. No, I don't hear anything about
56:28
her or either and I'm here, but it doesn't for me.
56:30
She doesn't really feel like Eurovision to me.
56:34
Eurovision is going to be over the top and.
56:37
Sure. Yeah.
56:38
Yeah. Oh.
56:39
I know she's playing shows at the moment.
56:41
She's over in Europe at the moment.
56:43
No, There you go. She's playing London, the London
56:48
bar. Why you said them like that?
56:53
I don't know, but yeah, I don't think you get her for a hard
56:59
time buying tickets, but. Maybe she's very popular.
57:04
They do like neighbors in the UK.
57:07
Neighbors is cancelled. Yeah, no, but she was on it,
57:10
right? Was she?
57:12
Was she? Our neighbors are home and away.
57:13
She wasn't she on one of those Delta Goodrem neighbors?
57:18
Yeah, neighbors. OK, I I thought it was.
57:23
Neighbors. How long was Delta Goodrem in
57:24
neighbors? She was in neighbors for, geez,
57:28
a long time. She was in it for three years
57:31
and then she came back in 2015 and then she came back in 2020.
57:34
Two. Yeah.
57:34
Oh. Yes, that's why she's famous.
57:38
Because of neighbors. That's the only reason Kylie
57:41
Minogue is famous. Yeah, true.
57:44
I mean, not anymore. People don't know her.
57:46
People know her as a singer, which is, yeah, not us.
57:55
Not us. She's from neighbors.
57:57
She married Craig McLaughlin. Was it?
58:00
Did she? No, in the show.
58:02
Oh. Oh, yes, yes.
58:07
I thought I was like, yeah, OK. What's he doing now, Craig?
58:16
Cameo. He's an Australian gold Logie
58:21
winning actor and composer, composer, singer, singer,
58:24
musician, singer and composer. OK, there you go.
58:29
He doesn't have any shows coming up.
58:32
Years active 1981 to 2018. I want how do they they do this
58:36
on Wikipedia, right? Years active Like what does that
58:39
mean he's just not active anymore?
58:42
Like he's not dead like, is he? People retire.
58:47
Do when people retire? Because it says to present like
58:52
he's still doing stuff. I don't.
58:53
I don't know what years active means.
58:58
Craig McLaughlin leaves Rocky Horror Show in wake of
59:00
harassment claims. OK, so that that's the last time
59:03
he did anything. It was 2018.
59:05
I remember when he used to do that.
59:07
Not harassment. The harassment not.
59:10
The Harassment The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
59:12
Yeah, yeah, formerly of Check 1-2.
59:18
I guess that was a band. I did that.
59:21
I yeah, I think he tried to do a music career as well, but just
59:24
didn't quite follow. What, Kylie?
59:26
Why are we talking about Kylie Minogue?
59:28
Craig McLaughlin and the culprits was his band.
59:31
That's how he got. Caught.
59:33
Ah, don't put it on the poster. No, my band is I will touch you,
59:45
your Honour. It's on the poster.
59:49
They knew what they were getting into.
59:53
Oh, he played was a character Henry Ramsey.
59:56
That's right. God.
59:58
Ramses. Yeah, Neighbors was a show.
