• 0:49
  they actually they're actually the early bird passes are still on sale for quite
• 0:52
  a little while. It's not like a But last time I couldn't get I couldn't get a
• 0:56
  three-day pass. I had to buy three once because you left to like a month before
• 1:00
  pack. Yeah, that that is that is true. That is true. Not the six months they go
• 1:05
  on sale beforehand. That's why I'm just giving you plenty of notice. I was like,
• 1:09
  I've got time. I'm just asking for tickets and they give them to me. What
• 1:12
  are you guys doing? All right, we'll do that as well. But I also like Yeah, just
• 1:16
  to make sure. Make sure. It's very very possible they'll say no to me one day
• 1:21
  and I'll be and then I also like to give like the pass away. Oh yeah.
• 1:27
  Our list has been to a few packs old passes that I've given away. Yeah, good
• 1:30
  point. Cuz I'm nice. One of them's been to packs on my pass when I had to leave
• 1:36
  early on the last day. Mhm. But this time you're planning better.
• 1:41
  You're there for the full three days. We leave on the Monday, we get there on the
• 1:44
  Thursday. Yeah, definitely. Cool. And I'm not going to eat an oyster
• 1:50
  between now and then. So I'm [ __ ] ravenous for one. Yeah. So somebody else
• 1:54
  will buy two dozen like that. Oyster famished. Can't do the three dozen
• 1:58
  anymore. They're too expensive. I'm not going to eat three dozen. Eat eggs instead.
• 2:04
  Just do one oyster, one egg. One oyster, one egg. Not anymore. It's back. They're
• 2:08
  back now. Oh, you guys fixed it. I thought Trump was going to fix that. We
• 2:12
  just killed all the sick birds. Oh, well that's the other thing I do eat a
• 2:17
  pack. We tried that with co and it didn't work. We just we we we put the hard work in.
• 2:23
  But mind you, today I went to a farm and and we collected our own eggs and that
• 2:26
  was that was quite fun. Yeah. Right. I know a lot of people are actually
• 2:30
  getting their own chickens again. I'd like a chicken. I thought about
• 2:35
  that. We got coyotes though and I I just don't want to deal with that. And then
• 2:39
  also winter they're not going to do well in winter. To be clear, wild coyotes.
• 2:43
  You don't have coyotes, right? Yeah, correct. I've got a [ __ ] I mean,
• 2:46
  they're in my yard. Coyotes out there. I think they're mine now. Well, I have a
• 2:50
  rabbit in my yard and uh I started feeding him, so he's not going anywhere.
• 2:56
  Yeah, how'd it get in? There would have been a
• 3:00
  lot of dig. Yeah, it's this. It's not hard to get into my yard. I saw him in
• 3:04
  my neighbor's yard cuz when I'm out on my balcony here, I can see into three
• 3:08
  different people's yards. And you used to wait for people to go outside bathing.
• 3:13
  Well, it's usually me. It's usually me that gets caught short, right? Well, I'm
• 3:16
  like, I can just go out in my underwear to hang up my washing. I'm like, I
• 3:19
  wouldn't be doing this washing if I had something to wear. All right. Um, but I
• 3:24
  saw this little guy across there and I'm like, it's pretty cute. So, Harper and I
• 3:27
  put out carrots for him. And then I'll lure him in like this is going to
• 3:31
  happen. And then, well, yeah. Then every day now he's just now he just lives in
• 3:33
  my backyard. Okay, that's nice. Yeah. I mean, he he scuttles off if he sees me
• 3:40
  coming out. He doesn't want to be my pet, but he's quite happy to live in my
• 3:43
  house. Happy to be fed. And it's like the rest. It's like my kids really. You
• 3:47
  don't even have to clean up after it. Yeah.
• 3:53
  Yeah. We got rabbits hanging about usually. Squirrels. Delicious rabbits.
• 3:59
  Yeah. Not a big fan of rabbit. They call them squirrels over there, though. They
• 4:03
  don't They don't say squirrels. They say one syllable. I tried to teach Lara that
• 4:08
  they were called squiggles, but she's not she's not having it. She's not
• 4:11
  having anything anymore. She had no time for jokes. I had a great dad moment the
• 4:16
  other day when I was reading Harper the Jurassic Park book before bed. Right. Or
• 4:20
  not Michael Cryon's Jurassic Park, but just to be clear, I've got I've got a
• 4:24
  dumb down kid version of it. Right. But she really likes it. And Chaos Theory.
• 4:29
  Yeah, that's right. So, we're reading through I do the drip on her hand every
• 4:32
  night. But um we're reading through it and just because I'm me and I'm a dad,
• 4:37
  every page I'm like, "And do you know what that dinosaur is called? That is a
• 4:41
  brachiosaurus." Right. Right. Just you know, third page in I go to I go, "Do
• 4:47
  you know?" And she's like, "Dad, I don't know what any of the dinosaurs are
• 4:50
  called." Okay. Yeah. Just stop asking. She's like, "If we see Tyrannosaurus
• 4:56
  Rex, you can ask me. I know that one." Yeah. Have you tried to explain to her that
• 5:02
  the velociraptors aren't actually called velociraptors? Yeah. And they don't look
• 5:06
  anything like that movie. Yeah, that's right. I don't watch movies like that.
• 5:09
  Yeah, that's right. I haven't seen this. Yeah. The other night I was we were
• 5:14
  reading and I I slipped with the book and it bopped her in the face and I
• 5:17
  said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, dude. I'm doing I'm doing such a bad
• 5:20
  job." And she literally goes, "No, no, no, Dad. You're you're doing great.
• 5:23
  You're a great dad." And I said I said, "Is there anything I could do better as
• 5:28
  a dad?" And she goes, "Yeah, read the book.
• 5:33
  Shut up." Yeah. She tells you that all the time. Yeah. I start asking questions
• 5:37
  or you mess around. She's like, "Read the book." That's why we're here. I've
• 5:42
  got these book credits and you're wasting time. Exactly. Yeah. She um so
• 5:47
  Jenna got back from Ireland. Jenna got back from Ireland and um she
• 5:52
  told there she's going to catch her leprechaun. Oh, shout out to Steve in
• 5:56
  Ireland who listens to the show still. I learned that's the leprechaorn. I don't
• 6:00
  know why that surprised me, but uh I didn't have a leprechaorn listener. They
• 6:05
  caught a leprechaorn called Steve. Steve. They're often um often friends of
• 6:09
  ours listen, but then they don't listen forever and then they go away because
• 6:12
  they're like, "Yeah, sick of it." They're like, "This is
• 6:16
  Apparently Steve still likes us or because we out them as gay on the show."
• 6:21
  That's not what this is. I just wanted to shout out Steve because he's a good
• 6:25
  dude. No, Steve. He's a nice guy, but he is a raving homosexual.
• 6:31
  No, we agreed, but not doing that anymore. It doesn't end well. True. Um,
• 6:37
  so she's in Ireland. She said she was going to catch a leprechaorn. So they
• 6:40
  got her little toy leprechaorn and she was sending me photos of him doing
• 6:44
  things. Yeah. And then so I'm showing them to Yria and she goes because she's
• 6:48
  she's just not stupid anymore. Yeah. You know what I mean? She's like, "Is that a
• 6:52
  toy?" And I said, I said, "Let me check with mom." And uh I said to Jenn, "She's
• 6:59
  not buying this shit." And Jenna said, "Tell her that they turn into toys when
• 7:03
  you catch them." He was real, but then I caught him turn into a toy. And so I
• 7:07
  told her that. And L's like, "Okay, can I see a video of him turning
• 7:13
  into a toy?" Yeah, we're [ __ ] busted, mate. She's
• 7:19
  not having it. I don't know. They must cuz our daughters are very very close in age.
• 7:24
  But Harper has like had a cognitive
• 7:27
  leap. Yeah. Right. To teenage level
• 7:32
  [ __ ] Yeah. Like sash. They're just not falling for [ __ ] anymore. Yeah.
• 7:37
  Yeah. Just wait till they are teenagers and if they're already like this. [ __ ] hell.
• 7:43
  I have no idea what our kids are going to be like when they're older because
• 7:47
  there's no benchmark because no kids were raised like we are raising our kids
• 7:51
  now. And I I don't mean that like we're doing a better job. I just mean like
• 7:55
  it's just totally different. So there's no there's no benchmark. Well, there's
• 8:00
  no just off you go. I'll be home by street lights. Yeah. I there's
• 8:06
  definitely none of that. I kind of wish that she could have that, but I
• 8:09
  understand why they don't do that. We're not allowed to do that anymore.
• 8:13
  Literally not allowed to do that anymore. Yeah. Because it's funny
• 8:15
  because people like, "Oh, there were no pedophiles around when we were kids. We
• 8:17
  go anywhere we want." I'm like, "Well, we're pedophile. That's why we don't do
• 8:20
  it anymore." Yeah. For them. It It is one of those things
• 8:25
  where it's like the odds are pretty low. Like very low. But it does happen. So
• 8:30
  that's why we You can't just do what we do. Like literally just [ __ ] off in the
• 8:35
  morning and your parents don't know where you are until the street lights
• 8:39
  come on. you know, you've got to be home by then or you'll get hit with the
• 8:42
  wooden spoon. We had no phones, no nothing. Like it was just uh No. Yeah.
• 8:47
  Like there was no I wouldn't There was not even a public phone in the the town
• 8:51
  I grew up in. Like we used to try to get as far away
• 8:56
  from home as possible. Where does this dirt road go? Like that was our kind.
• 9:00
  Across this field will be the first I've ever been from home. Mr. Frodo,
• 9:05
  before we take one more step Oh, I must give a shout out.
• 9:09
  There's a a podcast that I've started listening to. I say podcast. It's out.
• 9:13
  You can find it in the podcast app, but it's just a guy reading Lord of the
• 9:18
  Rings, right? Oh, yeah. And that's called an audio book. It's called a free
• 9:22
  audio book. It's called a free illegal audio book, right? Except he does a
• 9:27
  great job and he does all the voices really based on the the actors who
• 9:32
  played them in the movie. So, you know, like in the movie like like Sam's got
• 9:36
  the kind of like the the like West Country accent and and you know, like he
• 9:42
  does he does strict movie accents. I'm really enjoying it. Yeah. Yeah. Till he
• 9:48
  comes to like things that aren't in the movie like the Tom Bombadil chapter and
• 9:51
  it's like then all bets are off. He's just doing what he wants. Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:55
  He's wonder if he's looking for work and this is his like Yeah. Oh yeah. Maybe.
• 10:00
  Maybe because actually it's beautifully put together too.
• 10:03
  Okay. Is Lord of the Rings public domain the book? No, it's and I can tell you why I know
• 10:09
  it's not is because when someone I know
• 10:14
  and I'm married to
• 10:18
  was it executive producing the uh I can't be vague the ring of rings of
• 10:24
  power. It could be anything from the book. Yeah. Right. They could use
• 10:29
  sylmerelion and they could use appendices and they could use
• 10:33
  un set before isn't it? That's really fascinating because I know people whine
• 10:37
  about certain things like that and but there are that's interesting that
• 10:41
  there's a reason for that. That's the reason. That is the sole reason. It'll
• 10:44
  become public. Are we are you going to get in trouble for scooping this? Well,
• 10:48
  I was I was vague enough I think, wasn't I? I hope so. But no, there is it will
• 10:54
  come public domain on January 1st, 2044.
• 10:58
  So we only got that far away by then.
• 11:02
  Yeah, but then we could make our own.
• 11:05
  Yeah. Well, we're all Gandalf. Well, we could do we could we could do a
• 11:12
  side quest. Gandalf, Ratagas, and Saramon before he goes evil just on an
• 11:17
  adventure. Three wizards. Roman where they're just mates just hanging
• 11:23
  out. Yeah. Smoking their P. Christopher Lee. It was good watching watching him the other
• 11:29
  week. The movies. I got thinking again. Every time I see Christopher Lee in
• 11:33
  something now, I can't help thinking about, you know, there's that story
• 11:35
  about, you know, like him just [ __ ] knifing people in the jungle during
• 11:40
  World War II. To qualify that, please. Sorry. He was he like No, no, but his
• 11:46
  life is just Yeah. Because there's that story of him shooting a film where the
• 11:51
  guy gets stabbed or something like that and he's like, "Oh, I could tell you
• 11:54
  exactly what it sounds like when you knife him." What happens? Yeah. You hear
• 11:57
  his last gasp and it sounds like this. And the actors are like, "Fuck off,
• 12:04
  mate." Like, "What a guy." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're just actors. We'll just We
• 12:09
  don't need to know what it's really like. What a Sorry if I glaze over. It's
• 12:15
  because for some reason my um screen just keeps going dark. You glaze over
• 12:21
  like a donut. Yeah. Oh, I'd love a donut. Don't eat me. Don't eat me. That
• 12:26
  would be a little too many of my 1700 calories I'm currently allowed per day.
• 12:30
  Oh, 1 1700 doesn't sound like a lot. It's not a lot. It's basically three
• 12:36
  square meals and no snacks. Work out more.
• 12:41
  Yeah, depending on the time only only cardio workouts count as um like
• 12:48
  offsetting calories too. So if you do if you do a strength or resistance training
• 12:54
  you mean like on your tracker or just in life? Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. No, no, on
• 12:58
  the on my tracker. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know what you mean. Um not to talk about
• 13:03
  [ __ ] Alan Richardson again. I think maybe people are going to think we have
• 13:08
  a bit of a man crush on him or I have a bit of a man crush on him. You know the
• 13:11
  guy you can have a man crush on anyone. He's a [ __ ] specimen of a man.
• 13:14
  Handsome dude. Uh did you watch that interview with him where he said that he
• 13:18
  did the [ __ ] was it Dex Machine or whatever and his like just base level
• 13:22
  calories is 3,800. It's just like [ __ ] off mate. He can
• 13:26
  just eat whatever he wants. Yeah. It's so many calories.
• 13:32
  Still buff. Yeah, I know. It's crazy. But I mean he must spend a lot of time
• 13:36
  in the gym. Yeah. But I was listening to an interview with knows how to do that
• 13:41
  now. Yeah. It's got good metabolism. Good. I listened to an interview with
• 13:44
  Hugh Jackman the other day. Oh, yeah. Whom whom I I enjoy enjoy Hugh Jackman. Um
• 13:51
  I enjoy his body. But yeah, huge jacked man. But the uh somebody was like, "Oh,
• 13:55
  what's you know what it was just after finishing Wolverine versus
• 14:02
  Deadpool." Yep. And he was like, "Oh, how do you feel now that you finished?"
• 14:05
  And he's like, "Well, I don't have to eat a chicken breast the second I wake
• 14:08
  up in the morning, so that's a plus." Yeah.
• 14:13
  Yeah. It is weird to be whining about stuff like that. But like the the I used
• 14:18
  to think, you know, like Mark Wahberg always used to complain about how much
• 14:22
  food he had to eat and I'm like [ __ ] shut up, mate. But it actually Oh,
• 14:26
  you're on a billboard. Kind of [ __ ] annoying. Yeah, exactly. But then it's
• 14:30
  not like they're preparing this food themselves either.
• 14:33
  Yeah, that's true, too. Yeah. Yeah. So, like also this for listeners who don't
• 14:38
  know, the reason we're so [ __ ] into this stuff now is because we have a
• 14:41
  challenge ongoing. Yeah, we do. I'm going to join it soon. Yeah. Join it.
• 14:45
  Get get your get your sugar-free tonics and get in. We didn't share the before
• 14:49
  photos, did we? That doesn't I don't think we share them with each other.
• 14:53
  Share them. Well, depending on how good a shape we get into, I'll decide whether
• 14:58
  we can share later. Um, but I I've been watching a lot of
• 15:03
  like golden era bodybuilding videos on YouTube.
• 15:09
  Really high. Not that I'm bodybuilding, but it's just I find hearing those guys
• 15:13
  speak more motivational than modern fitness gurus. Modern fitness gurus, the
• 15:19
  way that they live their lives is just so beyond anything I'd be willing to
• 15:23
  ever do that I'm like, nah. Whereas if you listen to Arie and his
• 15:27
  contemporaries, they're like, "Just [ __ ] eat, then go to the gym, mate."
• 15:30
  Like, you know, like, you know, don't eat bad [ __ ] and and work out and you'll
• 15:37
  be fine. And that's I can get in on that. But they are skipping one path and
• 15:40
  that's you also have to inject yourself with steroids. Yeah. Yeah. There's that
• 15:45
  like because that was also a big part of that error. Yeah. Yeah. Also true. But
• 15:50
  but then again, I don't need to get big. But there's this great interview with
• 15:53
  him where the interviewer goes, "Oh, is it genetic? Can anyone do it?" Like,
• 15:56
  "Could I do it?" And then Annie just goes, "Well, yeah. I mean, anyone could
• 15:58
  do it, but why would you want to?" Very, very few people have any need to build
• 16:02
  muscles like this. Actually, no one does. Well, he does useful muscles. They
• 16:09
  are if you want to compete in the Mr. Universe, but that's the only thing
• 16:12
  they're useful for. Like, you see the strongest men in strongest man
• 16:17
  competitions, they're not built like that. And it's not even like we've
• 16:20
  talked about this I think too before is that like girls don't like it either
• 16:24
  when you get that big. You're doing it for other men.
• 16:28
  Yeah. Yeah. But I think we can all agree like when we we've none of us look like
• 16:32
  that. We've we've known women. We've been with women. Like you don't you
• 16:36
  don't have to have that. It's not a prerequisite, you know? Like Yeah. I
• 16:41
  tricked one into marrying me without muscles. Yeah. That's what I mean. Like
• 16:44
  like there's like women don't go, "What's under the t-shirt, though? Let
• 16:48
  me see that before I make my decision. I mean, it might it probably helps. I
• 16:52
  mean, maybe in a spectrum, sure. But yeah, I don't know. I think it does
• 16:56
  work. I swear I've seen guys just lift a shirt and move and go, "Yep, that's the
• 17:00
  one." Yeah. Yeah. We have to be funny or when they get like the arrow that points
• 17:05
  to their dick in the muscles, that arrow muscle. I don't know what it's called,
• 17:09
  but Yeah. I once saw I once saw a guy just flash his Hugo Boss logo on his
• 17:15
  suit to get a girl like that at a club. Yeah, cuz um I mean she she started off
• 17:22
  cuz she was like, "Oh, nice suit." And he just like opened up the blazer, just
• 17:27
  pointed at the pocket. Let it go. Here you go, boss. I don't
• 17:32
  want to know. I don't want to hang out with either of those people.
• 17:36
  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. True.
• 17:41
  Uh, I've been watching some stuff. I've been watching Yeah, I mentioned I've
• 17:45
  been watching Jack Ryan. I um I was like watching season three of
• 17:51
  it and I was like the [ __ ] this show changed.
• 17:57
  Good, bad or different? Just any different is not good. When
• 18:03
  anything it changes, it's not good. So Jack Ryan, right? You familiar with the
• 18:07
  character of Jack Ryan, right? I am. He's not James Bond. No. Except in the
• 18:13
  show, he became James Bond at some point where he's just an action hero who's
• 18:18
  going every time there's a [ __ ] mission he's on it and he's like doing
• 18:22
  Black Ops into a Russian battleship like ship container ship and he's with the
• 18:27
  team and this kind of stuff. And I was like, I don't think Jack Ryan does that
• 18:30
  in the books or the I saw him do a lot of administrative work. Yeah. In the
• 18:34
  media used to. So, I went back and I watched Harrison Ford in Patriot Games,
• 18:40
  and I'd forgotten, first of all, that Patriot Games is about uh Irish
• 18:44
  terrorists uh and Shawn Bean plays um the main villain. Yeah, we were too
• 18:50
  young. Yeah. Well, he he was [ __ ] young in it. Yeah. Uh but and it is very
• 18:56
  good movie, but yes, very different to what the TV shows become. Like Jack, you
• 19:00
  do Clear and Present Danger next. I I am actually. I've got it.
• 19:05
  Nice. But he's an older guy. He's ex CIA and then he comes back to CIA which just
• 19:09
  the TV show is quite different. He's young. Yeah. He's an analyst. And in the first
• 19:15
  in the first season of Jack Ryan, he gets kind of caught up in this thing and
• 19:18
  he gets involved in these kind of I guess action sequences, but he's not
• 19:24
  like running around like [ __ ] people and hand to hand combating everybody.
• 19:29
  Scene two, three. They're the guy he calls they call first to send in. He's
• 19:32
  [ __ ] let's suit up. Give me all the guns and like [ __ ] fighting
• 19:36
  everybody. And just in a way that that was my one uh the one negative thing
• 19:42
  that I can say about Slow Horses because if you love espionage, especially
• 19:46
  British espionage, you should watch Slow Horses. But the premise of Slow Horses
• 19:49
  is that it's set in this one branch of MI5 where if you [ __ ]
• 19:55
  up on the job, you get they can't fire you. they just put you in this place
• 20:01
  where you don't get any assignments, right? And you just end up doing
• 20:05
  paperwork all the time. So, you've got these like gung-ho agents just just with
• 20:08
  desk jobs. But then like season one, there was like a coincidence that made
• 20:15
  the main MI5 job and their job coincide and they
• 20:20
  ended up saving the day, right? Cuz obviously that's the show and it was
• 20:23
  very interesting. But then every season, oh, suddenly we're the best and we're
• 20:28
  saving the [ __ ] country and all this. I was like, yeah, but then why are they
• 20:32
  still in in in the shitty place? Yeah. Like if you're that promote some of
• 20:36
  these guys now. Yeah. Yeah. But it doesn't work well for the TV show in the
• 20:42
  street. No. No. It wouldn't work at all. Yeah. Yeah. So I I think they just the Jack
• 20:48
  Ryan I think they just decided, oh no, we do kind of just want American James
• 20:52
  Bond. And they probably just had that honestly they were probably just getting
• 20:55
  feedback that people were liking the action more than the paperwork. And well
• 20:58
  when I looked I know I was like watching season two I I kind of noticed it but I
• 21:02
  was like I mean it's still good. It's not this bad show or anything. It's just
• 21:05
  like just season 3 was way more obvious to me that's like this is different to
• 21:08
  the show I started watching like the it's a different show now cuz he's
• 21:14
  Yeah. the the the even the type of plot and what's happening to him. I'm just
• 21:19
  like is it not the same as what I what it was? And then I looked online and
• 21:22
  everyone says the same thing. It's just like what happened to this show changed?
• 21:28
  If that's how people seem to feel season
• 21:31
  4 seems slightly more like season one
• 21:35
  now that I'm up to it. So we'll see. This is probably they were getting
• 21:41
  feedback people like the action. Then you got season 3. They did more of that
• 21:44
  and then as you said you were reading people going no this isn't what we want.
• 21:46
  So now they've readjusted again. Yeah. Well this is on happy. Yes. Well, Amazon
• 21:52
  have their own James Bond now. James Bond. That's right. They don't need Jack Ryan.
• 21:56
  And I'm sure they'll do a series. It won't just be movies like there was
• 21:59
  before. They'll they'll try to prequels sequels. And James Bond Jr. Time to
• 22:04
  shine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a because it
• 22:10
  was supposed to be his nephew, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have siblings in
• 22:12
  the cannon. James does not have siblings.
• 22:16
  Um, but there was so much freaking out online in the last couple of weeks by
• 22:23
  people going, "Well, it's 2025. They're going to be making James Bond a woman
• 22:27
  and American and probably black." And Amazon have come out and said he will be
• 22:32
  a man from England. Look, they've already picked the next James Bond. It's
• 22:37
  Rahul. Yeah. And he is a man and he's British. So, yeah. And he's not black
• 22:43
  technically. Yeah, he's Oh, yeah. I know. Darker than I am. But he's he's
• 22:48
  man of color, just not that color. So, that reminds me of something. So,
• 22:51
  there's And he's funny. Chatting with a friend of mine who's a
• 22:55
  primary school teacher recently, right? She has year three this year. And um I
• 23:01
  was saying, "Oh, what are year three kids like?" And you know, compared to
• 23:04
  when we were that age and stuff like this. And she was like, "Oh, the funny
• 23:07
  thing is none of them swear. It's just not cool to swear anymore. Like just
• 23:10
  none of them swear. I'm smoke or drink apparently." Yeah. Well, that's right.
• 23:13
  Well, I mean the year three, man, but um when we were kids. I mean, let's
• 23:19
  not exaggerate how hardcore we were, but um All right, fine. But she goes, "Yeah,
• 23:24
  but she said this," which I thought was funny. She goes, "Yeah, yeah, they don't
• 23:27
  they don't swear. They do use the N-word a lot, though." And I was like, "What?"
• 23:33
  Oh, I mean, I would consider that swearing, you know, really.
• 23:38
  Um but evidently so she's she's out in
• 23:42
  Penri right and there's a lot more South Asian people in Penri than there used to
• 23:47
  be. Um so lots of Indians, Pakistanis,
• 23:51
  Bangladeshi out there now. Um and they
• 23:55
  use it to each other and then when she tries to reprimand they argue no we can
• 24:01
  say it because really Yeah.
• 24:08
  Interesting. Weird. I can't imagine like a third grader saying that in casual
• 24:14
  conversation. Yeah, it's pretty Yeah. Yeah. It's And it's used very casually
• 24:18
  evidently. Give me one moment. I will return.
• 24:25
  Okay. If you don't, Luke, and I will divide up your things. Oh, he's fully
• 24:30
  gone. Muted. Muted video. Nothing. Yeah.
• 24:35
  I don't think I think I think just realized. Oh, yeah. Could be no pants.
• 24:41
  Could be no pants. I'm thinking someone who's more awake though. It could be
• 24:45
  erect. It could be he didn't want to get up. Like pants on. Pants on but erect.
• 24:51
  Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we can still continue though. Yeah. I'm sure you put
• 24:57
  stuff in a spreadsheet that you want to Oh, I want to know. Luke, did you watch
• 25:00
  the Las Vegas rugby match last night? I did. Yes. Yeah, I Yeah, two weeks ago I
• 25:07
  I watched the highlights of it. Yes. Because I mean I It's It's weird. It's
• 25:13
  just It's just a game. There's nothing special about it. It's just a game being
• 25:18
  played. Yeah. Except it's just not a game they usually watch. Except that
• 25:23
  there were a lot of Australians at it. Yeah. I just love that because like I
• 25:29
  mean I know Penri are doing very well for the last you know several
• 25:33
  consecutive years but to me they're just the team from the shitty suburb I grew
• 25:38
  up in. So the fact that they are the ones that represent Yeah. And they are
• 25:45
  looking at this year I think it did better over there cuz I think this is
• 25:48
  the second year they've played in Las Vegas. the first year they were meant to
• 25:51
  be played on ESPN, but because a college basketball game went over, they got
• 25:56
  transferred to like ESPN 8 or what, like a a shittier version of it, right? So, I
• 26:03
  think the ratings this year it was on free to air, so it got more ratings, so
• 26:06
  it got more people watching. So, they're trying to sort of build it up to
• 26:10
  be sort of more of an international sport. Yeah. I mean I mean it already was when
• 26:16
  we were kids it was just New South Wales. So just one part of Australia and
• 26:20
  then there was one CRA team, one Queensland team, then there was a New
• 26:25
  Zealand team and now there's you know now it's very national. So now we've got
• 26:29
  we've got a new team starting in the NRL next next year or the year after. Papa
• 26:33
  Newu Guinea. Really? Really? Which is going to be just a team. That's cool.
• 26:38
  Amazing. Yep. We're great. We're Australia's investing
• 26:43
  money into it to start building it up now. And then in a couple of years,
• 26:46
  we'll have a new team, building up the country. Yep. With the
• 26:52
  purpose of making an NRL team. Yes. It's a very Australian thing to do.
• 26:57
  Or whether it was a different way of investing like to help out the country.
• 27:02
  Like we're going to give you money for this which will build up. Yeah. They're
• 27:06
  like, can we have some food and some medicine? And Australia's like, you can
• 27:10
  have a 40 team. That's what you can find. Here's a ball
• 27:14
  kicked us around. Well, a lot of our good football players do already come
• 27:17
  from there. So, it makes sense to give them instead of happening there like
• 27:22
  playing there, growing up there and then moving over here, give them sports
• 27:26
  instead of sustenance. But that that then again I think it was New Guinea
• 27:31
  that Australia actually owned for like an afternoon
• 27:36
  because if it wasn't Papa New Guinea, it was Timor East. one of one of those very
• 27:42
  very close to us island nations that was
• 27:44
  a British um colonial property and then
• 27:50
  I think the British gifted it to us like at the end of World War II and then we
• 27:55
  just immediately said yeah you can you can have self-determination we just we
• 27:59
  just let them but I think something behind it is like it'll sort of bring
• 28:04
  business there as well because the games will be played there as well so people
• 28:07
  will travel build up so We'll do a lot, I think. And I just Do
• 28:13
  we know what Do we know what their mascot's going to be? No idea. What do
• 28:16
  they got there? Yeah. Some kind of beast. They have a kiwi. No.
• 28:23
  They've got a small bird of some sort, don't they? Papa New Guinea. I don't
• 28:27
  know. [ __ ] Japanese soldiers hiding in the trees. That's what they [ __ ]
• 28:30
  got. Guinea pigs. It's going to be a jacked up guinea pig. That would be very
• 28:36
  good. Even if they were the guinea pigs, that's not even closely the lamest
• 28:41
  mascot name. You know, the guinea pigs from No, South America. That's what I
• 28:46
  was going to say. Yeah, that's what I thought, but I didn't want
• 28:50
  to sound foolish. I do that for us.
• 28:55
  Um, do you guys watch Severance yet? No, I still haven't gone back to it. Luke,
• 29:01
  have you only seen up to episode four still? Yep. Yeah. Does it get better?
• 29:06
  Cuz that just It just goes back to normal. That was a That was a a
• 29:10
  bottleneck episode. It goes just There's one There's one additional bottleneck
• 29:15
  episode. Yeah, I liked it, too. This is the tallest waterfall on Earth.
• 29:25
  So, yes, the finale has happened. Okay. Did you like it? I did like it. I did. I
• 29:30
  just don't I don't know. It's one of those things where the mystery
• 29:36
  is still it's strange to me now. Like,
• 29:40
  okay, all right.
• 29:43
  Like, it's not I don't know. I don't
• 29:47
  quite get it, but yeah, I still going back. I think we had too much time to
• 29:53
  think. Yeah. Well, they've come out and said season 3 definitely won't be three years
• 29:58
  from now, so Okay, that's good. I think that may even have something to do with
• 30:02
  it. It was just so long in between. Yeah. No, I don't know. Maybe lost its
• 30:08
  appeal a little bit maybe. But I also think after some time you forget the
• 30:13
  nuances and you only remember the broad strokes. So season one and season two
• 30:18
  are very different cuz season two just leans into that weird mystery whereas
• 30:23
  season one was actually just a good drama. That's what I That's what I mean.
• 30:26
  I think it's just it's become very um gotten I don't know like you don't have
• 30:30
  to explain everything like and link everything together the goats were they
• 30:35
  got the first one and goat the episode the second was I didn't like it has a
• 30:40
  payoff really quite quite a big payoff but but they didn't need one like that's
• 30:46
  what I mean like it was weird stuff's happening no one knows what's happening
• 30:49
  just and in fact this payoff would have been okay if this was to pay off to that
• 30:55
  episode in season one and not the payoff to that entire plot line at the start of
• 31:00
  season 2. You know what I mean? If that just wasn't in the middle and this was
• 31:04
  just oh the goat, of course, it would have been better. Yeah, I completely agree.
• 31:10
  And yeah, it's just I don't know. It's it's like this. There was this story
• 31:15
  going on and the weird stuff was sort of there but now like it's like they're just
• 31:22
  explaining all the weird stuff. Yeah. season and it's just like no no you
• 31:25
  don't have to do that. I did love I loved the scene where Mark was arguing
• 31:32
  the innie and the Audi were arguing with each other. So I did say I did wonder
• 31:37
  how does the innie know how to use a camcorder but how do they know it's it's
• 31:41
  weird the kind of amnesia they have because um bit it's convenient at times
• 31:46
  but it doesn't really matter cuz when um like when in this episode it was
• 31:50
  actually it was a cute moment where she was like equator. Yeah. She's like, "I'm
• 31:54
  trying to remember cities that aren't Wisconsin." And and he's like, "Uh, the
• 32:00
  equator. Is that a city?" Like, I think it's an island. Yeah. And he's like,
• 32:04
  "Maybe it's a building." Yeah. Um, but he can use a camcorder.
• 32:10
  But Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. No one had to explain what a computer is or how
• 32:14
  to speak English. But also, do we know what time this is set in? No. I see I
• 32:18
  thought that came up again because they went to the train station in this
• 32:23
  episode if you recall. Two characters, I won't spoil anything. Go to a train
• 32:28
  station and he gets a like a stamped ticket and everyone's in like kind of
• 32:33
  it's just a older style. Didn't notice that, but yeah. You're right. Okay. And
• 32:38
  I was like, when is this set? And cuz all the cars are old and [ __ ]
• 32:43
  Yeah. And the computers are obviously like retrofuturist.
• 32:49
  Yeah. But that's inside which is meant to be different. Like what's that's easy
• 32:54
  to control. Um Mrs. Coel Harvey Coell's
• 32:58
  character her [ __ ] truck is garbage but and it's which is interesting as
• 33:03
  well because you would think why isn't she well paid? Isn't she incredibly
• 33:07
  wealthy? Yeah. Yeah. Or does she just choose to drive that car? Yeah. Exactly.
• 33:11
  It's just there's a lot of things like that where it's like doesn't matter. But
• 33:15
  that's that's kind of what I mean about the other stuff too is that like you
• 33:18
  don't have to explain why she chose to drive a [ __ ] old pickup truck. going
• 33:21
  to be an episode about that the way it's going like oh yeah
• 33:27
  there'll be a whole side quest where she an episode where you find out where she
• 33:31
  bought that car and it looked brand new but by the end of it was she had you
• 33:34
  know I think characters like Milchic like don't do an episode about Milch it
• 33:38
  when you explain it mystery of Milch is so much better
• 33:44
  where he got the paintings yes no see
• 33:48
  that stuff was great so He he gets he gets um Patricia Rakeet's job, right?
• 33:55
  Yeah. And they take down all the paintings of the founder from her office
• 34:00
  and put bring in new ones where he's black, where all the people are black in
• 34:04
  the paintings because Milchic is black and they want him to just feel more at
• 34:09
  home or or something. But there's and it's just this scene of him just like
• 34:13
  looking at them clearly like not knowing how do I feel about this? Yeah. Is this
• 34:18
  racist or not racist? Yeah, it's very funny. It is. His character is great.
• 34:24
  What? Rewatching season one too. His his character is amazing, too.
• 34:29
  If they if they decide to definitely make James Bond American, he should be
• 34:32
  up for it. He'd be he'd be good. He's very good in this. I will tell you
• 34:37
  something. I have watched that. I went back to I watched Myy Quest again. Oh,
• 34:41
  yeah. From the start. The latest episode. I haven't seen the latest is
• 34:47
  their sort of their standalone episode. Oh yeah. But not it still is
• 34:53
  got characters in it. It's remember in season one how he has a son. Yes, that's
• 34:58
  right. That's whole thing. And then season two just three completely
• 35:01
  forgotten. Sure. It's this episode is about the son sort of coming to terms
• 35:05
  for being a streamer that's going from like that childhood to adult sort of
• 35:09
  phase and how trying to do the whole acting out, starting fights and then
• 35:15
  realizing no, it's okay just to be himself. No, it's like quite a nice
• 35:20
  episode
• 35:22
  when that show was garbage. So good.
• 35:28
  Yeah. It's just weird. This has become this has become to me like Community
• 35:33
  which was the the the the distance between the quality of the
• 35:38
  first season of which of Community is some of the best TV writing ever and
• 35:44
  then the garbage we got by like season 4, season 5. Like that's when Dan Harmon
• 35:49
  was fired. Yeah. Yeah. But which was good cuz now he makes Rick and Morty
• 35:56
  which I like more. I just don't understand why now. Like
• 36:01
  slight spoilers, I guess. You know, well, I don't even have to do spoilers.
• 36:04
  Just like Po Poppy and Iron, right? The way that they're doing that. It's just
• 36:08
  so odd now that she's got this other love interest and all that stuff that's
• 36:14
  going on. It's just like, well, I think the thing you wasted the the
• 36:19
  relationship that they had. The whole game and company.
• 36:24
  Oh, yeah. working on a whole expansion just on there. It's doesn't make any
• 36:29
  sense. And they just did that in secret, the two of them over a few weeks. And I
• 36:33
  guess not that it has to make sense except that you've set it around this
• 36:37
  real thing, which is a video game company. So, it kind of does have to
• 36:41
  make sense in a way. Otherwise, why did you do that? Seems to be working on the
• 36:44
  game or anything happens with that. Yeah. The game's just not in it so much
• 36:49
  anymore anymore. Yeah. Well, the former testers still part of
• 36:54
  the show cuz they became my worst characters because they're not doing
• 36:58
  that job anymore. They're not there's newest season one. They were great. They
• 37:03
  were great. I mean, the two new testers are two of my favorite actors from It's
• 37:08
  Always Sunny in Philadelphia that I just wasted. There's the the waiter is one of
• 37:13
  them and the his Charlie's creepy uncle, the lawyer with the small hands.
• 37:19
  Yeah. But you both just sort of wasted in it though. It's I've got two kids in
• 37:24
  the trunk. Have you touched them yet? That guy,
• 37:28
  the lawyer.
• 37:35
  But look, I'm hoping that the there's the four episodes that are coming out
• 37:38
  soon, which is the side quest, whatever it's called, which should be interesting at least.
• 37:44
  But I don't think we need any more mythic quest. No.
• 37:50
  Oh, more Always Sunny. When's that coming out next? They were shooting it,
• 37:54
  I think. Speaking of streamers, I just scrolled up and noticed Amaranth Home
• 37:59
  Invasion. Yeah. What? Yeah. U four kids,
• 38:04
  four teenagers, [ __ ] burst into our house, held her
• 38:08
  at gunpoint, and uh Jesus. Yeah. And said what?
• 38:14
  Uh I think they wanted money. Oh, money. Yeah. which I was like, "Oh, that's that
• 38:19
  could have gone funny in the house." Uh, that's also very different cuz normally
• 38:24
  the reason why sort of fans are breaking into these houses is because they've got
• 38:28
  a relationship that they have with them. That's right. It's me. I
• 38:33
  keep whipter. Wow. Jesus. Oh, no. They
• 38:37
  demanded crypto. Yeah. Yeah. So, not real money. Not real money, but money.
• 38:43
  But like, yes, you're right. When I as soon as I saw the headline, I was like,
• 38:47
  "Oh, they wanted her." But no, just just money. Yeah.
• 38:54
  Oh, yeah. That's a
• 38:57
  17 a 16, 17, 18, and 19 year old.
• 39:02
  And and and all all boys, obviously. Yes. I mean, even if they not trying to
• 39:07
  rape her like Yeah. And I
• 39:12
  mean, yeah, not good. Jesus. Not good at all. I guess she was just a target to
• 39:18
  because she they know she's wealthy. So, yeah. And now, was it actually Were they
• 39:23
  actually fans of her or does she just live somewhere that's and they just
• 39:27
  Yeah. It could be a convenient target. Yeah. Just Yeah. They just happen to be nearby.
• 39:33
  Well, that's terrifying. Mhm. Yeah. That's why you hear some of these
• 39:38
  streamers now having to have security all her husband shot at them uh and then
• 39:45
  they ran off. Jeez, that could have ended a lot worse for everyone. Yeah,
• 39:49
  absolutely. [ __ ] hell. All right. Well, there you
• 39:55
  go. So, I guess I don't want to get pistol whipped. No. No. Not good, but
• 39:59
  less creepy than the uh what's it? Gavin and uh and umgan
• 40:06
  Megan. Me. Yeah. Where they were going to kill him. So to have to take her to
• 40:12
  marry her. Yeah. Both of them terrifying in another way.
• 40:18
  Yes. But this is equally terrifying, but just less like creepy. Yeah. Yeah. This
• 40:24
  is like Yeah. Yeah. Opportunity, money, let's do it. Like I can understand their
• 40:28
  motivations in that they want money. I don't understand somebody who's like,
• 40:32
  "Oh, if I kill her husband, she's obviously going to marry me because
• 40:36
  that's how it works. If you murder kill the king, you become the king." She said
• 40:39
  my name and said thank you. That means we're engaged and she just needs to get
• 40:44
  away from her husband for for us to be together cuz I tipped her that money and
• 40:48
  she said thank you. No, you're right. Now you've explained
• 40:52
  it, Luke. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong, that's the appeal
• 40:57
  of social media stars is that unlike a movie star, you can interact with them.
• 41:04
  You can say, "I really like this video." And they might put a little thumbs up on
• 41:09
  your comment or something. That's But that's the whole point, right? Yeah,
• 41:12
  because I was listening to there's a debate online about whether Only Fans is
• 41:18
  um exploitative of the customer
• 41:24
  because you are taking advantage of lonely people, men mostly, let's be
• 41:29
  honest, who who are in a pretend relationship with you. And then they
• 41:33
  were saying like one side was saying, you know, like is it fair for you to
• 41:36
  pretend to do this and that kind of thing? And the other the girl like with
• 41:39
  the I forget her name. The girl the only fans girl on the other debate team was
• 41:43
  like that's what they're paying me for. Like if you don't if I didn't pretend to
• 41:49
  be like the be interested in them. They that's what the that's the that's Yeah.
• 41:54
  Exactly. That's the whole thing. Like Yeah. Yeah. It's not like like I was
• 41:59
  like yeah I guess that's true. Like it is explanation but it's literally what
• 42:02
  they're paying them for. So it's not like they're tricking them or anything.
• 42:05
  That's the point was that I'm not fooling them, they know what this is.
• 42:08
  They know it is. But the problem is the ones who don't know that. Yeah. And
• 42:14
  they're like cuz they're like, "Oh, you shouldn't be doing it that way." It's
• 42:16
  like, "Yeah, but that's that's what they're paying for." Like they wouldn't
• 42:19
  pay for it. Pretty good point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I just went videos this
• 42:24
  amount of time. Yeah. If I sign off every message with saying, "By the way,
• 42:28
  I'm not actually your girlfriend. You're paying me to do this." Like they're not
• 42:31
  going to. No one wants that. which and and I reckon like 99% of all people know
• 42:36
  that's all it is. Yes, I'm sure I'm sure
• 42:40
  that's true. It's just like like a little I don't know fun thing I suppose
• 42:46
  for most people. Yeah. But then you get the people who think, "No, this is
• 42:49
  real." They start to believe it and then it ends badly. M but they're not the but
• 42:55
  but but they're not the people complaining to 60 Minutes that it's
• 42:59
  exploitative cuz they're the ones who think you find some of them are like
• 43:04
  I've spent $100,000, right? Cuz they're also the ones that I
• 43:10
  think start to believe it more. That's not fault. Yeah, I was about to say cuz
• 43:13
  I also like again like I've I've known women. I've been allowed to be around
• 43:19
  women. You know, women have allowed me to spend time with them for extend
• 43:23
  before the lawsuit. You could that you could be near many women. I'm trying
• 43:26
  again. I'm trying to just be vague. I've not been asked for money by any of them,
• 43:31
  you know? Like that's the difference. Really? [ __ ] Jen ask me for money all
• 43:36
  the time. Yeah. Yeah. The trick is to find a woman
• 43:42
  who Sally dwarfs yours.
• 43:48
  No, I think it's they start off doing that and then I think some people just
• 43:52
  start to believe believe in the fantasy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure. But don't
• 43:57
  they want to believe? Like surely that's the transcendent moment when you forget
• 44:02
  and you just go, you know what? I'm just going to put in my credit card details
• 44:05
  and just keep enjoying your company. Yeah. I do think there's a reason you're
• 44:12
  doing that and not going on a real date. Yes. Exactly. There's got to be some
• 44:15
  sort of difference at the beginning between the people who are like aware of
• 44:21
  what it is and just doing it and don't care and the people who are getting
• 44:25
  confused about it, right? You've got to start from a different position, I
• 44:29
  think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whether you realize it or not. But
• 44:34
  whichever position you start in, don't break into their house.
• 44:38
  No. That is never okay. You have not paid for the privilege of that. Yeah.
• 44:45
  Although I was I was going to say you should you shouldn't even know where
• 44:48
  they live. But I mean people people can find this stuff out. But I was I was
• 44:51
  listening to a a review show of Amigga games cuz that's
• 44:57
  just what I do in my spare time. Um, but they were pointing out how funny it is
• 45:01
  that um, often the person's home address of the developer will be in the review
• 45:07
  because that's how you got the game is that you you got it on mail order like
• 45:13
  from Oh, sure. Actually, I was talking to um, Carlo about this last week. Um,
• 45:19
  remember we used to get like the the Nintendo 64 and the Sega magazines and
• 45:22
  stuff and the back of those magazines there's a pen power section which will
• 45:27
  just give you the name, age and address of people in other countries that around
• 45:32
  Australia and stuff where you can just send them letters. That's go through
• 45:37
  checking or anything. That was just okay. And again, you could say, well,
• 45:42
  there were no profiles back then. There were. That's why we don't do that anymore. Yeah.
• 45:50
  Yeah, we just didn't know about him. Yeah. Well, that's how that's the story of um
• 45:56
  Oh, what's his name? Gizmore drives a Ferrari. Cliff Blazinski. Cliff Bl.
• 46:01
  Yeah. He met someone off forums and Cliffy B. Cliffy B. And got sort of
• 46:06
  molested a little bit. That's right. Did he?
• 46:11
  Didn't know that. Yeah. He met Lauren on
• 46:14
  the she molested him and he loved it.
• 46:18
  molest him every night. Yeah. Yeah. But no, when he was younger, he just met up
• 46:23
  with a guy who was talking about Did you read his Yeah, I listened to it. I
• 46:28
  haven't I haven't. Yeah, I haven't too actually. It's okay. That's how I found
• 46:31
  out about that. Yeah. Yeah. Chapter one. I've got photo
• 46:36
  with you. Because if it's anything like Ken um Ken Sierra, what's his name? Oh,
• 46:42
  yeah. Ken Williams. Ken Williams. Color in her underwear.
• 46:46
  just how [ __ ] sexy she is the whole way through. Well, weird when you
• 46:52
  actually start listening to that and Roberto that really started that
• 46:55
  company. Really? I She's got a personality and Ken is a [ __ ]
• 47:00
  business savvy dude. Like he knows business. Yeah, but I assume it talks
• 47:05
  about some of the stories about what went on at Sierra with the [ __ ] hot
• 47:09
  tub and like Yeah, but that was I think that's cuz he has like a [ __ ] crazy
• 47:14
  ass wife who's just like free love, free spirit, you know what I mean? Like and
• 47:18
  it was the stories about that place are [ __ ] crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's
• 47:24
  like classic. Yeah. That's all in the book. He's [ __ ] proud of that [ __ ]
• 47:27
  Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Just [ __ ] 80s. We got a bunch of money.
• 47:33
  Let's get some hookers and blow in this hot tub. Basic like literally need
• 47:37
  hookers. He basically talks about how just all of the staff were beautiful and
• 47:42
  would just come into the hot tub at the end of the day. Like yes, [ __ ] hell.
• 47:46
  Do it now. Well, no. The problem is they have Well, they tried to do it at
• 47:49
  Activision and they got Yes, they had the Cosby room. That's right.
• 47:54
  They don't even like Don't Don't literally say it's date rape. No, that's
• 47:59
  right. Yeah, I think they tried to do it. I just don't think they got the
• 48:04
  difference. No, no, no. But to be clear, it's good that they couldn't do it. I'm
• 48:08
  not saying like gone are the days. Like you should shouldn't just assume that
• 48:12
  the women in any state. Well, no. It's because there is ways that some of this
• 48:19
  could sometimes happen if everyone's comfortable with it. But the problem is
• 48:22
  is normally guys will take it too far. And to be fair, in Sierra offices, I'm
• 48:28
  100% sure they were all comfortable with it. They just that I get too is that
• 48:32
  they also enjoyed making developing video games as much as they enjoyed
• 48:36
  being in the hot tub. And I never got the sense that it was a creepy thing. It
• 48:40
  was just they were all just [ __ ] party animals. Yeah. Yeah. And it was
• 48:43
  Robera who loved video games. Ken just loved making money. Yes. Right. So yeah,
• 48:48
  she designed all the games in the Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:54
  Um Yeah. Yeah. No. Go. I was going to say before just on the subject of Cliffy B.
• 49:00
  I have a photo of me in Cliffy B. But he's dressed as a giant blender. Oh yes.
• 49:04
  The fruit [ __ ] from the arcade. And the photo was taken by Lauren. Amazing.
• 49:09
  So, but like when I show people the photo, they go, "Well, I'm sure it is."
• 49:15
  Yeah. Both of those things could be true or you could be full of [ __ ] But that's
• 49:18
  that's the best thing ever, right? Yeah. That's great. Um, we should go as the
• 49:24
  dickwolves from Penny Arcade. Oh, the controversial Dick Wolves. Very, very
• 49:29
  controversial. Let's do it. We should go as Dick Wolf,
• 49:34
  executive producer of Law and Order. Law and Order.
• 49:39
  God must be raped to sleep by Dick Wolf.
• 49:43
  Oh no.
• 49:50
  Investigate that crime. Has I need to ask, has anyone started playing
• 49:53
  Assassin's Creed yet? No, I actually learned it was out when
• 49:58
  you guys were talking about it. No, I've started playing. It's getting
• 50:02
  good enough reviews, I believe. Oh, you're playing it? Playing it? Yeah.
• 50:06
  Um, one thing I found got I thought it's not going to be like the other games
• 50:11
  where you can just pick the character you want to play with and away you go.
• 50:13
  It doesn't seem to be that way. You can switch between them, right? Well, not
• 50:18
  yet. I haven't. M. Oh, I I played as each of them for one like very small
• 50:25
  part and now I've just played as her the entire time. There seems to be no way to
• 50:27
  change. I think it's actually just to be to to clear and be really blunt and
• 50:33
  offensive. You can either play as a black man or or as a Japanese woman,
• 50:36
  right? Yes. [ __ ] woke woke 2025 [ __ ] Although when I was playing as
• 50:43
  him, he's a real person. Tank. Oh yeah. Yeah. just walk through slaughtering
• 50:49
  people, cutting their heads off. No, I do I do think it was hilarious that
• 50:52
  people were saying, "Oh, I wouldn't I don't want Why is there a black man? I
• 50:56
  can't play a white man cuz it's cuz this is what actually happened and they're actually
• 51:03
  Yeah, good. There's an argument to be made, right? That you obviously
• 51:08
  like No, but I don't think they wanted to play as a Japanese guy either. I
• 51:11
  think they I just No, I know they wanted
• 51:14
  [ __ ] Enzio or I don't know.
• 51:19
  But they obviously sort out a diverse character, which is I I have no problem
• 51:24
  with that. But other I guess that is an argument people can make is that why is
• 51:28
  why couldn't why is there just a Japanese man and a Japanese woman like
• 51:32
  but I love the fact that people thought that they were just trying to introduce
• 51:36
  shoehorning someone in there, but no, he's a real person. No, that's an actual
• 51:39
  real thing. There's a literal I don't know if there's a photo of him or or a
• 51:43
  painting, but there's like I think there's a photo. Yeah, I think so.
• 51:46
  Right. Yeah. Yeah, but have you heard there's also cannon mode? Have you heard
• 51:50
  about this? Yes, I didn't pick cannon mode. This is interesting. So, you can
• 51:55
  put the game in cannon mode, which just basically takes forces you to play the
• 52:01
  game in order to create the story. Oh,
• 52:06
  but you can't turn it off once you've turned it on. Oh, no. There
• 52:11
  was another When you say in order, you mean you can't just go and do random
• 52:13
  quests and stuff? Mhm. Huh. You got to do the next quest it wants you to do to
• 52:18
  do the things in the right order. Cuz trust me, I've done a lot of stuff out
• 52:22
  of order in this game so far. Right. Well, out of order. I actually just came
• 52:27
  ac I didn't That sounded wrong. I'm not even in Japan.
• 52:32
  I just was walking along saw someone murdered someone and then it started a
• 52:35
  whole tree which I hadn't even started this storyline. I know I've killed him
• 52:39
  now. Yeah. Right. Right. cuz you know how it's always you got to go. If it was
• 52:42
  Indiana Jones, that character would just be in any location you went back to.
• 52:47
  Yeah. So, no. Um I'm enjoying it so far, but
• 52:53
  yeah, sort of must be must I must need to get past chapter one or something
• 52:57
  before I can start choosing to swap characters. Is it um what does it play
• 53:02
  like? Which of the previous games? Yeah. Okay. Like any of the last few? Yeah.
• 53:08
  But is it more like Valhalla or more like like Odyssey and that cuz there is
• 53:13
  a difference in just the way the game and I felt Valhalla was the weakest of
• 53:17
  those three? It's well but it doesn't have any boats. So Oh, thank god. I kind
• 53:23
  of just mean like the character movement. I guess I'll have to try it. I
• 53:27
  don't know. I felt like I know that um with he's just like a tank and you can
• 53:32
  just walk around slaughter everyone. With her you need to play a little bit
• 53:35
  more defensively. I found Yeah. Right. Sorting. Are you sorting people? Sorting
• 53:41
  people. Or is it? Yeah. I also I found a mode that you can turn on, which I
• 53:47
  didn't know you could turn on the past. You know how in like early Assassin's
• 53:49
  Creed games, you when you assassinate someone, they just died. Yes. And then
• 53:53
  in the later ones when you assassinate them, depending on how strong they are,
• 53:56
  they might survive and you still have to fight them. Yeah. You can turn an option
• 53:59
  on that if you assassinate, they just automatically die. That's cool. I've
• 54:03
  turned that on. That's made the game a little bit easier. H I don't know if
• 54:08
  it's cheating as such, but if it's an option. I went to the effort. Also, who
• 54:13
  cares? Sneaking up behind them and stabbing them. Should then have to break out into
• 54:19
  battle because they didn't die immediately. I think the Assassin's
• 54:23
  Creed police are going to come arrest you for putting that option on. That
• 54:27
  option they gave me. Yeah. But no, I'm enjoying it so far. I'll let you know
• 54:32
  more next week when I'm a bit more into it. I've only really started playing it
• 54:34
  today for a few hours. probably play it when it's on sale for $10. Yep.
• 54:40
  That's how I play my Assassin's Creed games. I just got it because I've got
• 54:43
  Ubisoft Plus. So, yeah. I have the deluxe version. Yeah. I I start playing
• 54:49
  Assassin's Creed games years after everyone else has played them when they
• 54:53
  go, "What? You haven't played that?" But that was really good. Except for the
• 54:57
  first one which I bought pretty early on. Like the first the very first one.
• 55:01
  the only one that they will for some reason not remake or remaster or
• 55:06
  anything with. Funnily enough though, I did buy it again because I saw it for
• 55:10
  very little money on the Xbox store like last year or the year before and I
• 55:14
  bought it cuz I was like [ __ ] yeah. Back to the start and I'm like no no no.
• 55:18
  Well, it's also very different cuz it's not quite open world. It's, you know,
• 55:22
  you load up different areas of the map and it's a bit of a different game than
• 55:26
  it is now. Yeah. Yeah. And Yeah. Yeah, I think it's on sale recently like for $250.
• 55:33
  Yeah, that's Australian money. So, it's probably free in America or they pay
• 55:37
  you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Trumps, I think they call them. Two two Trumps. Two
• 55:42
  Trumps. Oh, two Trumps. I should look up the
• 55:47
  exact Musk Hitler quote for the next for next episode.
• 55:54
  After partying, I've been playing uh Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Are you
• 56:00
  playing this or are you playing this with someone? No, we uh we take turns.
• 56:04
  Is this Is this Toad like Nintendo Toad or a different Toad? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
• 56:09
  It's like a little What about this? It's a good game. It's really good. So, it's
• 56:13
  just levels that are like kind of little diaramas, little cube diaramas that you
• 56:17
  spin them around. You walk around it and you got to get the star and collect gems
• 56:21
  and stuff and solve puzzles. And uh it's good. It's really good. We're enjoying
• 56:27
  it. LRA's LRA thinks it's [ __ ] hilarious because Toad does like goofy
• 56:32
  things and she laughs. 3D pixelated game. Pez where you had the fez. That
• 56:38
  was it. Pez. It's [ __ ] eating little candies. Um where you had that fish game
• 56:43
  cubul Yeah. Fish where you you'd have to spin it around to have different Yeah, a
• 56:49
  little bit like that. Yeah, but it's 3D and you can spin it freely. But yeah,
• 56:55
  basically it's like a Each level is like Oh, I see. Yeah. Yeah. It's good.
• 57:00
  Okay. So, you have found your new game to play. I play this. We have. Yeah. It
• 57:04
  was on sale and I was like, "Oh, she might like that." Uh, and she
• 57:10
  Yep. We played um we played uh we go to
• 57:14
  this like kids place up the road in the mall and like little miniature arcade
• 57:20
  and they have um Mario Kart with steering wheels and pedals and it's
• 57:25
  cool. So fun. And I literally looked up
• 57:29
  how much you you could buy them to like
• 57:33
  Yeah. They're $170 for one and I'd need
• 57:38
  two. Mhm. If it was 170 for a pack of two, I might consider it. But what you
• 57:44
  can do is you can get just these little steering wheels that are like this big
• 57:48
  that you just put your little switch thing in. Yeah. And I'm and that's like
• 57:52
  20 bucks for two. So I'm thinking maybe cuz that might be still just quite fun.
• 57:58
  I think I have some. You can have them. Look. All right. Cuz I brought a pack
• 58:04
  when I needed a a tennis racket for my peach outfit. Oh, yeah. cuz you can get
• 58:09
  a pack with every shape of
• 58:14
  memories. Memories
• 58:18
  um anybody still playing? Yeah, I played heaps of Avou this week. Okay. And I can
• 58:25
  now say with absolute certainty after playing it for quite a while that Yeah,
• 58:29
  it is quite boring. No. Yeah. I I liked it at the start
• 58:34
  because it was about it. It was just that it was that sort of Skyrim
• 58:38
  scratch. It was just there, but it's just when you really get into it, that's
• 58:43
  sort of empty. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's a shame.
• 58:49
  Like, yeah, you just you you just end up running around from place to place
• 58:53
  killing things. And like my character is very boring. He's quite boring. And um
• 59:00
  that's on you, isn't it? He doesn't do anything. No,
• 59:05
  just No, I don't know. And it also, as opposed to something like Skyrim or or
• 59:10
  just just sophisticated games, Fallout, etc., etc., it's very very clear which
• 59:15
  of the dialogue options you're meant to pick, you know? Oh, okay. Interesting.
• 59:20
  Pick this to keep going with the story. Pick this if you just want to choose
• 59:24
  something random for some reason. Like if you want to have a chat with this
• 59:27
  guy. Yeah, it's very prescriptive. I played It's still It's good, but I
• 59:34
  played a little bit. you got it's not a game you'll spend hundreds of hours in.
• 59:39
  Yeah, I think I said I'd gotten up to that first town. I kind of played a
• 59:42
  little bit more. I've got that guy with me now. The I don't remember a lot about
• 59:47
  it to be honest. A couple of weeks ago. Um and then I got to a certain point
• 59:50
  where I got Yeah, exactly. And then I
• 59:52
  got killed by monsters and um and then I was like I should probably finish Cyber
• 59:59
  Punk before I get too involved in this. So I go back to one great moment with
• 1:00:04
  him though because we I found this I I went down in this mine and down and down
• 1:00:08
  and down and down and I found this guy alive too wounded to to take out. So we
• 1:00:15
  didn't know what to do. And he goes, "You can't just leave me here. I'm a
• 1:00:18
  virgin. I don't want to die a virgin." And I turn to I turn to Kai and I'm
• 1:00:22
  like, "Can you do something about this?" And he goes, "No, no." I draw the line.
• 1:00:27
  "No." And then he goes, "Oh, you mean heal him?" "Yeah, heal him."
• 1:00:34
  So, I did get it far enough into the game that I can select who I'm taking
• 1:00:39
  with me now. And Oh, okay. Yeah. And do you have how many companions do you
• 1:00:44
  have? You can only have two at a time and I think I have three I can pick
• 1:00:48
  from. But each of them have different abilities that you can use to unlock
• 1:00:52
  other areas in the map. But you actually just learn those abilities. So it doesn't really
• 1:00:57
  change anything. But you will eventually go back to places to unlock extra stuff
• 1:01:02
  like when you get the fire stuff, you can burn through things. And I've
• 1:01:06
  already gone back to that first that first map to kind of clear
• 1:01:12
  additional side quests. The island you mean? Not the place you not the tutorial
• 1:01:17
  island. Not the tutorial island, but the next one. Yeah. Right. Right. Like I
• 1:01:20
  will go back and I will finish it, but there's other games out at the moment.
• 1:01:24
  Replay it, too. But there's a game coming out next week that I think you
• 1:01:28
  two might like. Go on. Atom.
• 1:01:33
  I've heard of that. Why do I sound familiar? Google it.
• 1:01:39
  Cuz it is sort of the Oh.
• 1:01:43
  for scratch. So it's set in England
• 1:01:48
  after an atomic bomb. I'm aware of England. I'm aware of atomic bombs. Post block
• 1:01:55
  story and not also this is long. It's
• 1:02:00
  not meant to be a long game either. There's kind of elements of folk horror
• 1:02:05
  in it too because like a lot of the enemies have like horns and stuff. Yeah.
• 1:02:09
  Now, when I say not a long game, evidently it's going to be about 25 hours.
• 1:02:14
  Okay. That's long enough. Yeah, that's absolutely fine. That sort of gives the
• 1:02:18
  idea that there'll be still stuff room for you to go and explore. So, but you
• 1:02:22
  can Yeah, yes. I'm looking forward This comes out
• 1:02:28
  on Game Pass next week. Oh, excellent. Game Pass. Perfect. Mhm.
• 1:02:34
  That's perfect. It comes out the 24th.
• 1:02:39
  So, I'm hoping I can finish Assassin's Creed tomorrow because I'm looking
• 1:02:43
  forward to this. Finish it tomorrow. I'm not going to finish it. I'm going to try
• 1:02:47
  though. Like 60 hours or something minimum. I can do it. Yeah. With Ubisoft
• 1:02:52
  games. 60 hours tomorrow. I'm with Ubisoft games I can sort of sit there
• 1:02:57
  and they become very formulatic for me at some stage where I I know how to
• 1:03:02
  explore and uh I basically go and unlock all the fast travel points as fast as
• 1:03:08
  possible then worry about the missions cuz then you can just fast travel
• 1:03:11
  quickly around the map and that's kind of how I'm playing a vowed actually
• 1:03:15
  because I'm basically just trying to open up the map at this point just going
• 1:03:21
  places exploring and what one good thing about avowed is if you can get to a
• 1:03:26
  place, there's something there that you're meant to see. Yeah. Like you
• 1:03:29
  can't just climb a mountain and be like, "Well, I'm up here now." You know, like
• 1:03:33
  if there's a path up there, there's a chest or a quest or something.
• 1:03:39
  Yeah. But no, I think there's a just I think there's a lot of games just releasing
• 1:03:45
  now at the moment because I think a lot of games are wanting to get out now
• 1:03:48
  because they're waiting for they want to get out before GTA 5 or GTA 6. I just
• 1:03:54
  don't care about GTA 6. Everyone wants to stay away. Until you said that, I've
• 1:03:57
  forgotten about it. But that's I know you don't, but the rest of the world is
• 1:04:03
