- 0:07to start yeah all right all right the thumbnails for a little while and I
- 0:10notic that you put your face on the thumbnail this
- 0:13week I did I thought it was only fair if I was on a
- 0:17thumbnail Matt hasn't been on one of the new thumbnails yet it is fair but you

- 0:50nerdy J M mhm aqu withy shirt off which
- 0:56is a like one like this really if I was Jason M Mo I wouldn't even own shirts
- 1:00what's the point I mean I get what you mean but I mean to be clear I did it
- 1:04because it was funny not because I thought I could trick people into
- 1:07thinking that was my body it was very funny I told you didn't I about my old
- 1:11um uh colleague who who met a girl at
- 1:16the Towny of all places right I mean I've met girls there spoken you might
- 1:22have been the same girl he never spoke to she never spoke to him again after he
- 1:25made this comment right so they go back to his house they're around he lives in
- 1:30New Town they're foing around she takes off her shirt great he thinks this is
- 1:35great she takes off her bra and he realizes that she's been wearing a
- 1:38padded bra oh yeah okay and uh and he calls her out on it and he goes a padded
- 1:44bra so I could have been wearing a muscle suit under this
- 1:48t-shirt oh boy what needless to say she
- 1:52went home yeah I I do not understand that yeah because he was he kicked her
- 1:58out that's right false advertising yeah see yeah I I don't understand
- 2:04people like that yeahh well look I wasn't trying to fool anybody
- 2:10right well you fooled me Matt you fooled me I was like [ __ ] Matt's been working
- 2:14out and getting tattoos well maybe I listen as I apologize if you if you or
- 2:18anybody or a loved one were fooled by my back at Matt's house ready to have sex
- 2:23with him yeah that's right I'm sorry I misled you actually I need to apologize
- 2:28for something else too ooh while I'm apologizing is this misleading Graham
- 2:32hanock news because I really want to lean into that this week yeah I need to
- 2:35walk back some stuff I said last week oh because I just listened to that uh this
- 2:40morning and um I loved every word of what you said and I'm I'm very
- 2:43disappointed that you're about to walk any of this back I'm pretty sure I I actually
- 2:48haven't listened to it in a little bit but I've so since we talked about it so
- 2:52I watched the whole show and um like last week and then we recorded yeah and
- 2:58then after that I was like I want to learn more and so I I actually went and
- 3:03watched some stuff by some archaeologists and listened to a podcast
- 3:07by some archaeologists called we shouldn't have to explain this but here
- 3:11we go I think one thing in particular that I said last week I remember that I
- 3:15said this was why can't they just have a look if there's are rooms underneath
- 3:21um I thought um and I'll tell you why they don't and it's because an an actual
- 3:28archaeologist said we' [ __ ] love to mate are you going
- 3:32to pay for it mhm right so it's not that they're like no we don't believe you
- 3:38they'd love to have a look yeah yeah and just to be clear archaeologists don't
- 3:42excavate out of their own pocket they've need grants from universities and
- 3:47actually there's there's a hierarchy of places and topics that will get you
- 3:52funding easier than others yes and the fact that yeah
- 3:57okay it a lot of what Graham hanock said is is
- 4:02unfalsifiable um can't prove negative right and and and and it's kind of like
- 4:07very vague and loose and it goes against kind of the the the standard thought
- 4:11about you know things and and it's not that things don't happen like um they
- 4:15found GOC tee what like 10 20 like wasn't it it it was recent a recent
- 4:20discovery changed everything yeah yeah to be clear we didn't think there were
- 4:24stone structures that old so when we found hunter gatherers built them yeah
- 4:29yeah but it's but now they found it they don't go well someone else must have
- 4:31built them no they just think we were wrong they can they did build them
- 4:35clearly CU there they are like so and and so yeah so nobody is GNA pay to look
- 4:42into this stuff and mean gramy Han can pay for it surely Netflix just gave him
- 4:45a bunch of money why doesn't he do it well did to be clear grahe hang hok's
- 4:50daughter is the head of programming at Netflix so let's just put that out there
- 4:53yeah I found that out to the SE fine dad fine I'll play your [ __ ] documentary
- 4:59look it's done pretty well for them from what I can gather so look I haven't seen
- 5:03the doco I have read one or two of his books over the years because he's been
- 5:07writing since the 80s and when I was about 20 I was massively into this stuff
- 5:11you said last week something that I really held on to you said you wanted to
- 5:15believe and I wanted to believe as well man because this is far more interesting
- 5:20than the the real stuff right he's very compelling even so I've seen I've seen
- 5:25interviews with some of the people who are on that show there's there's a woman
- 5:28who's on the show of the archaeologists the woman in Malta she one of arist that
- 5:33hat him she's tried to now she's been on the show and she said he took it all out
- 5:38of context and he made but honestly he's made me look like an idiot amongst my
- 5:42peers because she's like yeah he Mis he's misleading what he said that kind
- 5:46of stuff there's another guy who was on there who said actually he's very nice
- 5:51and we had a really good chat and he's he's very charming and I can see how he
- 5:57like you know like he he he was nice it was fun talking to him then I watched
- 6:00the show and I was like oh that's not really what I meant but he's like I
- 6:05didn't feel like it was malicious but he's like ah that was a bit cheeky well
- 6:08he certainly has an agenda but the thing is it's basically the Ancient Aliens
- 6:12hypothesis but just with ancient humans instead of Ancient Aliens yeah but he
- 6:16sits on that stuff now he doesn't talk about the alien stuff and another thing
- 6:19he doesn't talk about too that I found out this week is because one of the one
- 6:21of the biggest things is right he says there this ancient civilization that
- 6:24taught them all this stuff but like where's all their stuff right cuz he's
- 6:28saying oh you know like they taught they already knew how to they already knew
- 6:31agriculture they knew how to build these Meg yeah but where's where is the
- 6:37[ __ ] ocean oh well that's the million dollar question so they built monoliths
- 6:41right because they knew how to do it where are the ones they built
- 6:45right yeah mate you're not listening okay but that's not that's actually not
- 6:50technically what he thinks right yeah yeah he but also mat he thinks when he
- 6:55says they were Advanced apparently appar this is in the books he doesn't talk
- 7:00about this anymore so much he said something on Joe Rogan that kind of
- 7:04alluded to it he thinks they didn't need tools and stuff because they had mind
- 7:08Powers that's what he that back yeah yeah because obviously still
- 7:15thinks it right because remember back in the 7s and 80s you could say [ __ ] like
- 7:19that and and like actual professors would go huh I didn't think of that all
- 7:24right let's consider that but now everyone's like no as soon as you say
- 7:27telekinesis I'm out yeah unless he has has changed his mind on that stuff I
- 7:31haven't I guess I don't know for sure if he's if he's literally ruled all that
- 7:34out that's fine but it does like I mean yeah the thing is there's
- 7:40just no evidence if if there were pyramids in Egypt and there were no
- 7:44evidence of shittier rudimentary pyramids before yes I would say somebody
- 7:50might have taught them but we've got Square buildings then we've got square
- 7:53with a pointed top then we've got the step pyramid then we've got the perfect
- 7:56pyramids like it's an evolution it's very clear no I don't know if if I
- 8:01mentioned this last week because I did kind of pick up on this too in the
- 8:03episode of the show then you you really should watch it like it's you've sold me
- 8:09on it you it's really entertaining regardless right even if you know it's
- 8:12horor [ __ ] he's very compelling I'll watch any show Von D comes out with so I
- 8:17I'll watch him too yeah no it's good um and like production values and even just
- 8:23as a as a way to see these places it's [ __ ] great like cuz there beautiful
- 8:26drone shots over and stuff like like ignore some of the stuff he says is
- 8:30horeshit but you know still cool but then he goes to golee and he's talking
- 8:35about how like how did these hun gatherers wake up one day and just build
- 8:39this biggest monolithic side on their first try he goes you know this is the
- 8:43first one and then he go like in the same episode he then goes like a couple
- 8:48of miles over to karane which is older sure yeah and it's like did you forget
- 8:54what you just said like they didn't just build that first they built that one
- 8:57over there and probably others yeah yeah yeah shittier ones wooden ones probably
- 9:02that bur down yes little ones they started small yeah yeah that's right mud
- 9:07ones that no longer exist I read something fascinating this week and it's
- 9:11a total given but I just never thought about it before right so you know how
- 9:15there's prehistoric paintings in caves all over the world right why do you
- 9:21think our prehistoric ancestors particularly painted in caves what was
- 9:25the reason caves were preferable for painting out of the elements they last
- 9:29longer you're half right interesting uh they didn't just paint in caves they
- 9:34painted [ __ ] everywhere but only the ones in caves survived so it's like a
- 9:41confirmation bias we think oh they painted in caves no mate they painted on
- 9:44trees they painted on rock walls they painted on the ground it's just so we
- 9:47don't have that that's that's another thing this AR there's this archaeologist
- 9:51uh Stefan Milo I think on YouTube I'm pretty sure he's the one who who pointed
- 9:55this out and I was like oh yeah of course he Graham
- 9:58Hancock and these guys a lot talk about this message right these people were
- 10:03trying to convey this message with these you know these pillars that go back the
- 10:06Tepe and all this kind of stuff and then they talk about you the messages from
- 10:09the cave paintings and that kind of stuff and he's like they weren't writing
- 10:12messages for us they didn't give a [ __ ] about us they weren't thinking oh in
- 10:16like 10,000 years these [ __ ] Advanced people are going to want to know what I
- 10:19ate for breakfast no they were just recording what animals they saw and
- 10:23stuff yeah yeah yeah even the Bible which does proport to be a message for
- 10:28future people doesn't talk in ways future people can understand without a
- 10:32lot of historical no concept of that like yeah everything it's all for the
- 10:37time I saw today the cave paintings we have like yes they're beautiful and
- 10:42amazing and incredible but mostly they think they were probably just to let
- 10:45other people know oh this is the animals that are around if you're hungry yeah
- 10:48that's why yeah that's right this is the area where there's bison and remember
- 10:53that next time we migrate past here they didn't really paint Predators because
- 10:56you don't you don't hunt them about them yeah just we just paint
- 11:01the food like these are the ones you can go after we get brag thatr's got like
- 11:06one of some of the oldest cave paintings we got a lot of the oldest
- 11:11[ __ ] yeah yeah Australia's Got is there some uh this might be [ __ ] pseudo
- 11:16archaeology as well isn't there some cave system in in the desert where
- 11:20they've got like bones of like huge mega fora cuz they all just fell in there and
- 11:24got preserved yeah okay I wasn't sure actually real or not I don't know to
- 11:27believe anymore d I I I'm I'm staying out of that I don't
- 11:31know about that yeah there I I I'll say
- 11:35fact people people got to Australia far quicker than anyone can really explain
- 11:41yeah you know that's true like basically a few well a few thousand years but in
- 11:45you in the spectrum of things a few thousand years after people left Africa
- 11:49they were already in Australia yeah cuz they thought it was a long long long
- 11:53time ago no they thought it was not that long ago not that long ago means nothing
- 11:57they thought it was a period of time ago and they've since discovered oh actually
- 12:00no it was way before that they had to look back like recently ,000 years or
- 12:06something yeah incredible yeah about that yeah you know what I found out recently
- 12:12too if this is multiple
- 12:28archaeology.org the glacial maximum right there was this is yeah last
- 12:35glacial maximum um there was this because it is [ __ ] cold it is so cold
- 12:41um isolated group of humans in
- 12:46Siberia who um domesticated the dog to cut a long
- 12:51story short right and then when the ice retreated they like Fally we can [ __ ]
- 12:57leave and they walked into Europe and walked across the bearing land bridge
- 13:00into America and those dogs went everywhere so every dog in the world
- 13:06right now is related this is why I sort of laugh at like
- 13:11um Evolution deniers oh sure because like we have bred so many forms of new
- 13:17dogs which is evolution even yeah yeah yeah even one
- 13:22times in the selfish Jean is it selfish Jee no it's the greatest show by
- 13:27um Dawkins he about that he talks about like we could I could prove it to you
- 13:33right now with anals that gate really like dogs is that you can completely
- 13:38come up with a new species in 50 years if you just keep selecting yes they do
- 13:44this is like a weird not quite the same thing but that's how like the way that
- 13:47they breed listeners I want to talk about some video games I was just say I
- 13:51learned this from Gabriel kn3 but there's like a they do this they no
- 13:57because there's this really cool correlation with because gabriel3 is the
- 14:00one that's about jesus' bloodline cuz you know that whole Holy Blood Holy
- 14:03Grail thing his bloodline and the there's vampires in it and they make
- 14:07wine and it there's a whole like parallel about how they breed grapes and
- 14:13like the and it's it's really it's quite it's well done in the story it's good oh
- 14:18yeah if you want to get your mind blown Google what fruits don't exist in nature
- 14:22pretty much all the ones we know about yeah I saw actually as part of that um
- 14:27part of the the stuff talking about you know like goye and that kind of stuff
- 14:32about the domestication of plants right because we had to do that as well people
- 14:35talk about domestication animals and then it was like this um this picture
- 14:39that was like a carrot Through the Ages that's a that's a [ __ ] rough carrot at the
- 14:45beginning why would you even try it's like it's just a
- 14:48stick it's the root kept making improving so they looked better so
- 14:54people would want to eat them compared to what they
- 14:57were yeah like ones throw the rest away and therefore only the fat ones are
- 15:02throwing their seeds around yeah for a 10,000 years then you've got a carrot
- 15:08right and that's not counting that like Victorian era onward deliberate like
- 15:13Mass producing of things yeah but look let's you promise let's jump into video
- 15:18games because I know is dying to talk about what man I and I knew exactly what
- 15:24he was talking about I could do a whole episode just on alen Wake 2 yeah ah [ __ ]
- 15:30me I've got to play this game Fu me yeah you do it is um it is probably the best
- 15:36written game full top just full it's it's just
- 15:43the best written game it's amazing and the more I think about it and the more I
- 15:48read about it and the more I watch reviews about it the more I like it too
- 15:52because things get pointed out that I didn't even see but you don't have to go
- 15:58and read or watch to oh yeah no no no it's you can understand it just by playing
- 16:04although uh evidently when you play it
- 16:08again it's different yes as in when you go back to the start you retain the
- 16:14knowledge and even items that you've found the first time through and there
- 16:18are new and expanded story points yeah because it's all about story it's all
- 16:24about backstory and narrative and you you essentially just go
- 16:30through faster because you've achieved these things and you know what the
- 16:34puzzles are and stuff and and just piece together more of the backstory which I'm
- 16:38interesting pretty excited to which I I really wish they would have released a
- 16:43patch released a new achievement so I would go back and do it but I mean still
- 16:47even without that I'm still thinking about going back the lure of the great
- 16:51story that you've just described is not enough to
- 16:54look it nearly is like I am seriously considering going back seriously if
- 17:01remedy have made a game that Luke will play for no achievements then they have
- 17:06succeeded and they should just be given the crown yes I mean they've always been
- 17:10at the Forefront of narrative in games yeah max pain was amazing you know
- 17:17control was amazing I never played Quantum break actually Nei it was like a
- 17:22whole TV show mixed with a game right oh yeah you had to prepare time to watch it
- 17:27because you get to like the end of a sort of what their chapter and now
- 17:30you're going to watch a 40-minute television show I almost did the quantum break
- 17:37launch in Asia when I was working in Singapore um they had this open pitch
- 17:41and I pitched this thing that I wanted to do I wanted to get like you know what
- 17:45they did when they made the Matrix Games and they got actual actors from the
- 17:49movie but like Side characters that were like cheaper to afford and then made a
- 17:53whole story about them I wanted to do that with Quantum break and just get
- 17:56some of the other characters and then expand their story and I wanted to film
- 18:00this thing with three C this is kind of before 3D and all of this three cameras
- 18:04one pointing there one pointing there one pointing there and they walk into
- 18:07each other's cameras as they play out this scene and then do it with in a
- 18:12booth with three large panel TVs so the
- 18:17actors walk all around you as they're oh yeah kind of doing this kind of three so
- 18:22you walk in and you experience this and they they liked it they gave us the job
- 18:25and then eventually they were like actually we don't want to spend the
- 18:27money let's just traditional launch I was like damn it I was really looking
- 18:32forward to it but also I think at least it's got a good story out of it yeah
- 18:38yeah no no Matt you need to take time I will I will all right I played a little
- 18:44bit of something I don't want to talk about it a lot we we can actually talk
- 18:47about Alan Wake two again afterwards but just while I think of it I installed
- 18:50while we were on the call last week pal world I jumped into it I don't know if
- 18:55it's for me I literally played like five minutes yeah it's a little too cartoony
- 19:01cartoony and pokemony it's I don't know if you said this but I guess I did did
- 19:06definitely didn't sink in how breath of the wild it also is yes oh but you love
- 19:11breath of the wild what's going on no I do but there's all your favorite things
- 19:14mixed together Matt yes put a Metroid in there and you you be like no it's not
- 19:18for wait has it got Metroid in there no no all right
- 19:23Metroid mod for it no I I'll give it more of a chance I just launched it and
- 19:28I was just like like oh I don't know it looks a bit cartoony but we'll see I can
- 19:32see why people are loving it
- 19:37though [ __ ] out of this oh yeah yeah I loaded up Med character picked up some
- 19:41sticks talked to somebody and went I don't know about this and then I was
- 19:45like did you build anything no I've got I've got a kid Al you've done nothing no
- 19:51no no exactly exactly yeah yeah that's why I said this is going to be very
- 19:55brief I I'll say this Matt if there's a game that it's good enough you'll make
- 19:59time for it so one part of Alan Wake 2 right is revolving around I don't know
- 20:05if you remember very rudimentary mention of Thomas Zayn from the first game so
- 20:11this is the guy remember when Max goes to the cabin and he finds some poems
- 20:17written by Thomas Zayn and he goes oh this must have been the guy who was the
- 20:20cabin before me right he is a main character in this see now I feel like
- 20:25I'm have going to play the first one again for I bought the remaster it's
- 20:27been remastered got it you just have to go through all that tedious combat
- 20:32that's why I haven't gotten in I was like put on on easy story mode this one is yeah it's
- 20:38not as tedious I find it's the same there's just far less of it okay yeah um
- 20:44so when it happens you're like oh [ __ ] I've got to fight now because I've been
- 20:47just working on puzzles for the last I played through the intro of the remaster
- 20:50you know where you got to get to the lighthouse and that and I was and then
- 20:52just yeah the combat I was just like ah I remember especially early on when
- 20:57you're just like you're finding stuff and you're just walking around that log
- 21:00Timber yard and you're like yes am I going to play like 15 hours of this but
- 21:06the story and the tone of it was so good that you kind of forget yeah yeah but
- 21:10this so Thomas Zayn um you found out more about him and he was a filmmaker in
- 21:15Finland they lean much more into the north stuff he was a filer I know about
- 21:20the band like yeah the band oh man so I've been listening to that fake band
- 21:24right and I was disappointed to find that the real band who play those songs
- 21:28play that kind of music in real life they're much more like cold play or some
- 21:33I know I knew that too but that's almost impressive more impressive right so yeah
- 21:38yeah yeah it's it's it's great but there is a playlist on Spotify of just the
- 21:43ingame amazing it's fantastic it's gotten me back into like [ __ ] rock right
- 21:49so um speaking of do you know um just briefly I found out you know Justin
- 21:54Hawkins from the darkness he has a YouTube channel and it's very funny
- 21:59just reacts to things talks about St
- 22:02he's he's very funny yeah yeah weird but
- 22:07funny the darkness are better than they get credit for actually I should go back
- 22:10and listen to some of their stuff anyway Thomas Zayn filmmaker in Finland and then went
- 22:17to America to become a poet and that's when he went to the island and that's
- 22:21when he got involved with the the uh uh not the mental institution what am
- 22:27I trying to say the the clinic for artists you know from the first
- 22:31game they find one of his lost films in
- 22:35this and one of the levels is in a a cinema and the film is playing and if
- 22:41you want which I [ __ ] did you can just stand there watch the movie watch
- 22:46the movie it goes for over 20 minutes and
- 22:51um of course it's Stars Sam Lake because he just inserts himself into [ __ ]
- 22:56everything he he plays several characters in this uh and it's
- 23:00magnificent like it's it's it's you will want to watch it in real it's a forign
- 23:04it's in Finnish right yeah and it's got the actors because you know half the
- 23:08actors are from Finland but they're dubbed by Americans now they're all in
- 23:11this and they get to speak their own language in a foreign fake foreign horror
- 23:15movie what is great about this if you watch like I think I they start with ma
- 23:20pain which is great and then I think they got caught into it was very early
- 23:24so they were relying on Publishers and stuff so money now they got to a point
- 23:27where can make whatever we want yes yeah and now we get a new super quality in
- 23:34Sam like must have just been masturbating while he was writing this
- 23:36go on what would be cool oh I know this what else would be cool this other thing
- 23:40unrelated to it and I just know that the publisher going to go yeah whatever you
- 23:44want to put it in the game and we're going to make it so polished this is not
- 23:47some indie game this is the most polished AAA beautifully rendered game
- 23:52you could imagine half the there's so much live action footage in this game
- 23:57but there is no cognitive jump between the live action and the animated like
- 24:02half the time I'm like what am I watching am I watching a 3D render or am
- 24:06I watching a real life actor right now I just don't
- 24:09know it was a timely moment for that cat to war into existence that's a glitch in
- 24:15The Matrix yeah all right I'll stop I'll stop to say I'm a
- 24:20fan I think I've got it install I was about to say I could check on my g-cloud
- 24:24my Xbox is also right there but yeah this is why I kept wanting you to play
- 24:27it so talk about it cuz it was I play and I played the whole thing on this oh
- 24:33all right all right I want to hear about that cuz obviously list is when this
- 24:38yeah look this it's the same thing right it's a it's a um it's a is it is an
- 24:45Android tablet Android it's anro Android tablet with a controller on it yeah
- 24:48perfect um so it you can buy anything off the Android store retro archers on
- 24:52there um I've done some research scum VM uh is on there although I haven't put
- 24:59any of my games on yet um I mostly use retro AR for retro games and it does
- 25:05play scum but you've got to rename everything in this weird convention or
- 25:07just puts every file into the list you can be bothered doing that um and Xbox
- 25:13of course you put it on and I can hear my Xbox turn on in the other room it's
- 25:17cool right yeah because it it does but it doesn't turn on it kind of like yes
- 25:20it doesn't come on yeah that's right yeah it's neat uh yeah
- 25:25magnificent cool um yeah don't just got an SD card slot and all that
- 25:31kind of it does it does have an SD card slot um and in fact there's there's a
- 25:35strange thing where the current version of retro arch for Android has trouble
- 25:40reading off of SD cards yes you have to install than the nightly build from the
- 25:45website yeah that's right so um everything's on the but I mean there's
- 25:49like 64 gig or something on this actual thing so it's quite simar to the GCL
- 25:56actually it's exactly the same gcloud just made in China
- 26:02G is also made in China just you making yeah yeah that's right
- 26:07I'm making a gcloud yeah oh I'm making a g-cloud too no not I'm not to say the
- 26:12word gcloud sorry copyright mine's black
- 26:17yeah mine's white so oh cool yeah you so
- 26:23much yeah he's got the a Neo next he doesn't need any of these things good point
- 26:28fine yeah I don't need worry about shy I can just play it yeah but I think your
- 26:33guys battery life is better I've had no problem with battery
- 26:38life I play it during the day I charge it at night it's never run out yeah I've
- 26:41never even noticed it to be honest uses more power because it's got actual
- 26:47processor in there yeah I think the screen would be the main draw on this
- 26:52thing literally just powering the screen would be the mostly just a screen isn't
- 26:56it yeah we're going to um Vietnam in April
- 27:00and get some battery packs for the plane yes I'm wait in April I'll be
- 27:05disappearing for a couple of weeks I might be who knows depends on okay where
- 27:10in Vietnam are you going we're doing a tour from the going to Hanoi down to the
- 27:16bottom somewhere I forget oh my brother lives in Hanoi now did you know that
- 27:21no yeah he lives there now teaches
- 27:24English to very cool people in go to
- 27:28for few oh I'm going to qu lumper in may we might cross over yeah maybe I'll
- 27:34see you there I assume we Dimension we
- 27:38both have in-laws in in in K or nearby
- 27:42do we yes yeah right
- 27:46cool well I'm going to New Jersey in
- 27:50April i' like drive down there today yeah I'm going down there for the
- 27:55Vintage computer Festival East oh yes I might try to make some video content for
- 27:59that actually oh you should yeah because actually nobody makes good content at
- 28:04those things that people go to them and film I'm probably going to continue that
- 28:07Trend but we'll see I don't know what I'm doing in fact
- 28:11maybe we should have a conversation about this I said this J I was thinking
- 28:14I could film something but I don't know what the [ __ ] to do I have no idea what
- 28:17to do no fair enough don't take your credit card with you yeah yeah yeah
- 28:24there's there's a there's a whole Consignment area where people bring all
- 28:26their old stuff to sell so it's going to be a I'll be interested to see if it's
- 28:30stuff if stuff is cheaper than you know on like eBay from what I understand it is
- 28:35because I know guys who go to those things and they just go like look I've
- 28:38got [ __ ] four of these in my basement I'll just try to get a couple and it's
- 28:43easier to sort of do there than to worry about getting maybe scammed on eBay and
- 28:47then also having to do the shipping thing and just you be cash and you go
- 28:51away done you know what's funny so I keep my eye on like retro computer and
- 28:56console stuff right and obviously for about 10 years maybe more 20 years after
- 29:01say the80s you could get a Commodore 64 for like $15 if you went to the right op
- 29:07shop right and now they're hundreds they're $300 $400 because they've
- 29:12they've gone from [ __ ] and old to cool old
- 29:16told the TVs at the thrift shop near me right 400 bucks for CRT and then they've
- 29:22got big LCDs for like 50 bucks I was like that's like ridiculous well I've
- 29:27know because obviously it moves right and so it basically just depends on
- 29:32which generation are now monetized you know working fulltime and stuff because
- 29:38I've noticed we're up to GameCube now GameCube have started to increase in
- 29:43price should have kept mine I saw before we moved I mean I made I made quite a
- 29:47bit but I could have okay yeah well that's good but you could I mean if
- 29:50you'd somehow known to hold on to it for another well I told you this right I
- 29:53listed I thought it's not going to be worth a whole lot so I I on eBay listed
- 29:59the GameCube and the Wii and all the games and all the controllers and
- 30:02everything just everything all that g yeah and I just I put it like yeah
- 30:07because we're moving to America I was like I'm not going to take it because
- 30:09it's pal it's not going to work over there whatever yeah so I listed it
- 30:12started at 99 Cents no Reserve whatever I get I can get and then almost
- 30:16immediately I started getting messages from people saying I'll give you a 100
- 30:19bucks for it right now my son really wants one and it's his birthday tomorrow
- 30:22so I need to know right now tell me right now and I was like that's weird
- 30:26like I got five messages that all said [ __ ] like that and I was like something
- 30:30Funny's going on and then they just kept coming in and then and then finally I
- 30:33got one message from somebody who said hey you're probably getting spammed
- 30:37right now um those games are worth a lot of money you should list all that stuff
- 30:42separately oh wow just just a heads up such a nice person I said and yeah I
- 30:47wrote back and I said thank you so much I said is there any do you want to like
- 30:50do you want any of them like I appreciate you being honest kind of
- 30:53thing and then he said no list bu for it all right now it's my kid's birthday
- 30:59um but I made I made over can you post to Nigeria I made over1 th000 oh wow
- 31:05that's great which so you did list them separately because it's a it's a it's a
- 31:08lot it's a big p yeah like some stuff I had I had the Zelda four Swords
- 31:11Adventure in just in the box with it was a thing where you could literally
- 31:16connect your GameCube to your Game Boy Advance and like do and and do stuff and
- 31:20I had I had all the kit for it to hook it up and all that kind of stuff was all
- 31:23in the box that went for fair bit and then a couple of like
- 31:28import games like Skies of Arcadia I don't know yeah it was but like I had no
- 31:32idea so it was I'm glad that guy Um this can play if they sing to play all the
- 31:37way up to PlayStation 2 emulated yeah like you can yeah like like the retroid can't do
- 31:44that speaking of PlayStation 2 did you see the uh Silent Hill 2 remake footage
- 31:50yes I [ __ ] did it looks nice no I have not I can't believe I'm watching
- 31:55Silent Hill you know yeah yeah know it looks real nice I'm I'm
- 32:00still a little worried that hopefully they they get it you know what I mean
- 32:05yeah yeah the The Fragile masculinity of it yeah exactly I just hope that has it
- 32:10keeps all that I mean it it looks beautiful like this the fog effects and
- 32:14that kind of stuff just looks like amazing so I'm I'm excited and I saw
- 32:19they just put out another a short Silent Hill game for free on the PS5 so I'm
- 32:23going have to play that this week so now this is exclusive to PlayStation right I
- 32:28think so yeah so I'll I'll try and play it this week the Silent Hill 2 remake is
- 32:32not going to be exclusive to PlayStation or it is try find it out right now I
- 32:37might have to acquire a PlayStation if that's the case because I would very
- 32:41much like to play this I wonder if you could remotely play mine on that oh yeah
- 32:48yeah we could try and see if that works yeah or if if listening if son's
- 32:54listening we're definitely not going to do that that no no no but actually
- 32:57there's a legal way way to do that not with your machine but if if is on
- 33:01whatever Sony called their game pass cloud service I could sign up for that
- 33:05and then play it on their servers without yeah I think so yeah
- 33:12interesting there's um I played a game this week I downloaded it bought it
- 33:18months ago called no one lives under the lighthouse which is this little horror
- 33:22game but part of okay so there's this uh I think we've talked about this before
- 33:27in the this compilation that comes out each year called Haunted PlayStation 1
- 33:33which is modern developers making horror games in the style of PlayStation One
- 33:37games because you know we've talked about it how there's just something
- 33:40wrong with that g that makes their horror games stand up where all their
- 33:46other games don't y um so this one you
- 33:51play as a Lighthouse Keeper on an island just by yourself and just every night
- 33:56you've got to light the lamp and the stuff except there's something on the
- 34:00island with you and it's just cool it looks [ __ ] house cuz you know it looks
- 34:04it looks like Silent Hill basically it was really fun yeah I played it I played
- 34:09quite a bit of it last week and before I got back into I have good and bad news
- 34:13about Silent Hill 2 remake go is coming
- 34:17to Xbox okay okay time to release
- 34:21on PlayStation for a while that's all right I'll let let other people play it
- 34:26and them fix all the and Stu first before son time releases are scarying a
- 34:31little bit now because remember Final Fantasy 7 which I am dying to
- 34:35play so just keep paying them to keep it an exclusive well they were faster with
- 34:41balers gate than I thought they would be well
- 34:45Microsoft keeps keeping Che you know cheeky Starfield out of their hands and
- 34:51those they're different though why they brought the sh they own
- 34:58yeah so still but have you seen that they are talking about walking bringing some of
- 35:04the games to Nintendo and things like highi rush and the starting I'm telling
- 35:11you Microsoft is setting themselves up for the future generation of
- 35:14being being more streaming and for that yeah I feel like that Sony
- 35:21thing they put out the it's like a you know one of these that can only play
- 35:25your PlayStation which I feel like is a bit of to be honest well it's a now that these
- 35:30exist but I think when they announced that we we kind of sced at it but if if
- 35:37I didn't know about these things and they brought one out for Xbox and I
- 35:40could just play Xbox in my room but it wasn't a thousand extra dollars and the
- 35:44the price of a whole new console well it was honestly it was the PlayStation
- 35:48thing that got me like I I think the reason Amazon was like do you know what
- 35:52one of these was because I was looking at the the PlayStation one so it's kind
- 35:55they kind of led me this must same because I was I was looking at steam
- 35:58decks which is obviously not the same thing but they were like maybe this is
- 36:02better for you and it's half the price yeah yeah yeah CU well this was on sale
- 36:07and Amazon was like what you think of this and I was like I played one of
- 36:11those in packs actually and it was pretty cool there we go now you own and
- 36:15remember when you got it you're going maybe probably gonna return this yeah
- 36:20yeah I was like here it is let's see yeah oh Android it's Android and my brain
- 36:26went possibilities yeah I I put YouTube on there I can put
- 36:33Netflix on there I can put blex on there I can just download all my movies on my
- 36:36Plex on there if I go on a plane I can just use this for everything like
- 36:40everything that's true until my Vision Pro which I've I've not bought a Vision
- 36:45Pro they come out this week but I haven't bought one oh Vision Pro
- 36:49Luke Apple Vision Pro Apple I don't know Apple the new Apple headset that it's
- 36:55not it's not virtual real
- 36:59it's I could go buy one for
- 37:03$65,000 yeah it's a what do they call it
- 37:07uh something Computing spatial Computing they call it yeah [ __ ] floating in front
- 37:13of you alled reality no they're not using those words in
- 37:18fact if you're uh if you're talking about in The Press I mean they're not
- 37:22going to care what we say cuz they didn't give us any but if they if if
- 37:25you're you know kind of official press for them there's like a list of things
- 37:29you should not call it you're
- 37:34not always refer to it as Apple Vision Pro not the Vision Pro or
- 37:40yeah Google Glass was going to be but better yeah it's Apple Vision Pro and it's spatial
- 37:47Computing spatial Computing put it on can I bring up a word processor and just
- 37:52do this and type I think you can yeah yeah yeah it's got like a virtual
- 37:55keyboard apparently it's [ __ ] but can I bet it is yeah but you can you can um
- 37:59put it on apparently like if I'm sat here now and I popped mine on right so I
- 38:04could be doing stuff on it and then if I look down at my laptop a little thing
- 38:08will pop up above it and say connect and then I can um I can go yep and then my
- 38:14laptop screen goes blank and then goes like up in front of you and then
- 38:20you can move it out of the way and you can make it you apparently you can make
- 38:23it like you know 13 stories high and amazing yeah
- 38:28what happens if you look at your dick um in my case it would have I don't
- 38:35know that it's 13 stories high yeah the camera's not not got a very wide angle
- 38:39it down yeah EXA exactly to the standard 13 stories going to look like
- 38:43skin do you remember when was that is ridiculous low yeah was three and a half
- 38:48Grand here so it's [ __ ] expensive B compl you have to already have a
- 38:54computer to run this off no no no no no no no no this is a standalone thing yeah
- 38:58right so you can this can be your computer yeah yeah yeah I mean it
- 39:02doesn't do all the it's like a you know like when the iPhone came out and it
- 39:06could do stuff but it's not yeah it's like that yeah this is a very this is
- 39:11Rev one like people probably shouldn't be buying this unless
- 39:16they're for some reason yeah yeah one day we'll probably all have these but
- 39:21not yet no do you remember when they you just reminded me with the augmented
- 39:25stuff do you remember you remember Pokémon go where everyone's playing that
- 39:28you're finding little Pikachu running around your house yeah um do you remember when there
- 39:34was that trend of trying to get your Pokemons into pornographic situations
- 39:40like there was this whole subreddit
- 39:43TR dedicated to like look look his his
- 39:47Squirtle on my dick I'm doing my girlfriend from behind
- 39:53and there's [ __ ] I don't know any more Pokémons sitting on her back Diglett
- 40:00Diglett yeah you got Pikachu no P but I said him first then I said Squirtle and
- 40:06then I'm out I'm out after that um Charmander is okay yeah that's
- 40:12one I played it for a weekend it was pretty fun actually because you'd go out
- 40:16to ridiculous places and there'd be other people there going have you seen
- 40:20it there was it was in um was that sub where Ikea was near us yeah roads and
- 40:27they literally had to redt the buses because [ __ ] were just literally
- 40:32blocking the street cuz it was like a Pokémon gym right there and like outside
- 40:36the shopping center and so people cuz you know the shopping center you can go
- 40:39get a Starbucks and then apparently just stand in the [ __ ] road and not move
- 40:45and like they literally there's news articles about they literally had to
- 40:48reroute the buses I don't understand how stupid people can be like so strange
- 40:51because I'm playing this thing on my phone I can stand in the road or trespass I
- 40:58[ __ ] that that was a thing too yeah some I think someone didn't someone try
- 41:01to sue them and say get this [ __ ] Pokemon gym out of my house because they
- 41:05used an existing map yes I believe yeah that just had locations on there's a
- 41:12place there was a ended up being a Pokemon gym in like a um AFP place which
- 41:17like secure place you can't get into climb the fence to get into it it's all
- 41:22how stupid are you that's so funny they can't shoot us all yeah can have will
- 41:28shoot you yeah um they're allowed the look I I don't like Pokemon per se
- 41:34clearly I don't know any names but like that that um that type of game like if
- 41:41you did a Lovecraft version of that like if I could like oh [ __ ] there's a
- 41:44[ __ ] shogo in my kitchen I'd be all over yeah yeah but how like the reason
- 41:50why Pokemon it's there hundreds of them how many you have to throw your sanity
- 41:55at keep making them up right you go slow the more insane you go the better the
- 42:00game is yeah there's something Lovecraft in
- 42:06about gra Hancock though I think because the Lovecraft thing
- 42:11is a scholar or some kind of antiquarian
- 42:15on the On The Fringe who discovers secret knowledge and I think that's why
- 42:21it's so appealing to people like us even though we want to be able to let go of
- 42:25our reality that we're grounded in because we want to be privy to secret
- 42:29knowledge like you read Lovecraft and they're like oh I'm studying um
- 42:34ancient the university has let me into there and I'm like I've been at [ __ ]
- 42:39two universities and neither of them have offered me into the Vault where
- 42:42they keep their Sac to Prov yourself yet how do I get yeah how do I get into that
- 42:46like they don't exist Denny no no he spends a lot of time at the beginning of
- 42:50every episode one of the other archist pointed this out they're like no like he
- 42:55spends yeah 10 minutes at the beginning of about how archaeologist [ __ ] hate
- 42:58him and they're all lazy [ __ ] and they won't listen to him and then he and then
- 43:01and then it's like and he wers why we don't like him but also we don't not
- 43:04like him he just keeps saying that we don't like him we have no opinion of him
- 43:08because he's not one of our peers but because it makes it sound more
- 43:12interesting if he says that he was a journalist first right he's not he's not
- 43:16he quite a quite a renowned which is why he's a good Storyteller yeah yeah yeah
- 43:20and you knowed journalist Matt day the D I think quite similar yeah and he's
- 43:26he's got very good he's got a good British accent you know he's very very
- 43:30yeah he seems It's like a professor's talking to you it's he sounds very
- 43:34intelligent when he says he some Middle America guy in a Maga hat he's a British
- 43:40Professor type telling you things and as you said he's dialed it back so he
- 43:43sounds much more reasonable than he would if he was saying this other stuff
- 43:46one of the funniest things I saw this week There's a uh a different
- 43:50archaeologist on YouTube Milo Rossy I think his name is he's this young Arch
- 43:54this guy's cool his YouTube channel is very cool he said um he said you know
- 43:58grahe keeps talking about how he's archaeologist wor worst enemy I've seen
- 44:02Indiana Jones and I know who archaeologist worst enemy and I hope
- 44:05he's not saying he's one of
- 44:10them amazing amazing I watch this uh I know we keep kind of flogging the same
- 44:16dead horses but I watch this great there's this um teacher in America who
- 44:22just films himself rebutting dumb questions that his students ask and
- 44:28online so the one that I watched watched half a but one I watched was um I make a
- 44:34student try and explain to me why he why JK Rowling is a transone right and so
- 44:40the camera's just on the teacher you don't see the student the teacher's just
- 44:42there let [ __ ] dead pan the student goes has the fact that JK rolling is a
- 44:48known trans phob affected the way that you read the Harry Potter books he's
- 44:52like well let's break that down is JK rolling a known transfer he's like yes
- 44:55everyone says that like why does everyone say that he's like or because
- 44:59of her transphobic tweets he's like find me the tweets read out the Tweet so it
- 45:03skips while the kid [ __ ] Googles for the Tweet right and um he finally finds
- 45:08the tweet and he's like he he reads it for btim and he's like you know it says
- 45:13something like you know um I love trans people I'll march with you if your
- 45:17rights are infringed but nothing you say is going to stop me self-identifying as
- 45:21a woman right and and the teacher's like right and what's transphobic about that
- 45:26and the kids's like well you know she says she's a woman and he's
- 45:29like right but I think she also says you decide what you are and I'll decide what
- 45:32I am and we'll be cool with it right and he's like yeah that's what she's saying
- 45:35he's like so where's the transphobia and he's like oh I think she's tweeted some
- 45:40other things he's like show me the other tweets I mean she has to in the kids
- 45:44defense but yeah think the teacher not really I mean the the worst thing she
- 45:49did for herself was that interview for that podcast because if she just left it
- 45:53at the tweets and that essay she wrote you could actually deconstruct it find
- 45:57that she actually says very very little I think a lot of it actually probably
- 46:00she gets snarky when people say stuff to her and some some of it might be might
- 46:05be related to that that I'm thinking of she get snarky coming she loses me is
- 46:09when she starts talking about women getting raped in in in women's toilets
- 46:13by men yeah no I don't Dr and it's like I don't think that happens and if you
- 46:18can find an example of that happening I'll believe you I don't think that's the
- 46:23norm the the exception that proves the rule right yeah yeah but I'm pretty sure there's a
- 46:29lot of other unfortunately rape that happens not in women's from people AR
- 46:34Iden fying it's just you can't use that sure oh you can rape a woman anywhere
- 46:40anywhere you want unfortunately I want to change the
- 46:46subject and I want to talk about the June 2 popcorn buckets have you seen
- 46:50these this is intense this is I've got I have to get one of these it's still
- 46:55quite vaginal you haven't checked the subject entirely I know I know this is a
- 47:00popcorn bucket that looks like a sand worm coming out of it and you have to
- 47:04put your hand in the sand a little needle teeth what's that
- 47:10you'll be able to get one of these we will I you will I am going to do my best
- 47:15to get one of these 100% look at that [ __ ] AMC you don't I don't want this
- 47:20[ __ ] thing in my house I don't want one of these this is the ugliest thing
- 47:22I've ever seen in my life I don't have an AMC theater right near me but I'm
- 47:27there's almost certainly one that I can go work I'll just drive to the theater
- 47:30to get the bucket and watch Dune you know somewhere probably actually I'll
- 47:35probably watch IMX in um Providence the Sydney IMAX is finally
- 47:40finished oh sick oh it looked cool last time I was there actually the building

- 48:04going to say like with this bucket yes it looks cool you'll put your hand in
- 48:09once or twice and go yeah this is cool and then that lid's coming off yeah so I
- 48:12can just get the PO yeah and then you'll put your dick in at least once oh
- 48:18yeah what the hell why my phone started toing noise goodness man but yeah no your
- 48:25dick's definitely going your dick was a was an audio cue for your phone to do
- 48:31something it must have been I say it so
- 48:36often that's uh yeah is great it doesn't
- 48:42is this only AMC yeah no I don't know I saw AMC and I used assume the merch I
- 48:48want now just based on just circling back to Alan Wake too yes is that they
- 48:52released an official um Alan Wake coffee thermos um that looks like the diner what's the
- 48:58name of the diner the OD din din I mean this looks great I don't haven't played
- 49:03the game yet but this looks neat it looks very like yeah it's cool right
- 49:07just this retro in fact I've seen a screenshot isn't that Diner the diner
- 49:11from Twin Peaks like essentially yes the layout I saw a picture of it in the game
- 49:16and I was like I think there's absolutely no that's the Double D Diner
- 49:20yeah I mean a lot of this game is Twin Peaks I mean if you like Twin Peaks and
- 49:25you like the the work of
- 49:29uh Stephen King and you you mush them together then you've got Alan I think
- 49:35that was what what the first game like it was like the coffee Thermoses
- 49:38everywhere is sort of like throwback through Twin Peaks and the coffee and
- 49:45yeah yes deer as in the the deer and but
- 49:50uh if you backyard yeah they're they're I think they're already sold out and
- 49:54people sell for like 500 bucks I hate those people am not willing to pay
- 50:00because I could probably find a blue thermos somewhere and a sticker and
- 50:05create my own so I I bought this right this is a I've got a it's a crash
- 50:11override sticker and an acid burn sticker on there because I like hackers
- 50:15this is a Stanley water oh yeah right y I didn't know there was a craze right
- 50:21have you heard about this craze yes I have I haven't I didn't know about it
- 50:25this was on clearance when I ordered some stuff and I was like oh I need keep
- 50:29my water nice and cool get bottles are yeah people going crazy for [ __ ] nuto
- 50:34for them so I bought it and then Jenna got home and she was like oh not you too
- 50:37and I was like what she said apparently all the yeah apparently all
- 50:42the I said like a Karen thing I don't think it is but it's yeah yeah it's a
- 50:47big thing and then now the big thing apparently is that putting stickers on
- 50:50them not putting stickers on them somebody um apparently this is a thing
- 50:55right these are sealed right they're like double walled insulated right and
- 50:59there's a seal and a lot of these not all of them but a lot of them actually
- 51:03quite good use lead solder inside there
- 51:07to seal the two walls right and it it's encased in a stainless seal but somebody
- 51:14found out this episode sponsored by Stanley Stanley no no no there's no
- 51:18issue with them right let's be clear about that but somebody found out that
- 51:21that they use lead solder in and Stanley in particular do use it couple companies
- 51:25do use it some companies don't use it right so it's become a thing and people
- 51:29are buying these cheap ass [ __ ] lead swabs off Amazon that are like garbage
- 51:34swabbing the inside and going oh it says there's lead in there drad and Stanley's
- 51:38like there's no lead in there we promise you it's not possible Right you want to
- 51:42get the lead out of that you're going to have to smash the thing open and start
- 51:44licking the yeah which you probably can't do it's very sturdy yeah here's
- 51:48how popular there will be like limited editions and people will go and line up
- 51:52from like midnight to wait for the store to open to see if the delivery has
- 51:57I don't think I drank water till I was 30 cuz I looked it up afterwards
- 52:01and 30y old women yeah but kids drink water like my daughter old men my
- 52:08daughter takes a water bottle everywhere she goes you know what I mean like she
- 52:11has they they drink water I don't drink water at all and let's be clear this is
- 52:16a very good insulated water bottle right I can put ice in there in the morning
- 52:21there's still going to be ice in there at lunchtime like they are really good
- 52:24I'd like to be able to do that I drink coffee I drink I swich over to V and then I
- 52:30drink I S over to beer so like I I don't really drink a lot of just plain water
- 52:35but they're all water based watering coffee water my body is 80% water I'm
- 52:40already practically too much water I used to just I used to think like I had
- 52:45a Yeti you know the yeti tumblers and you know the oh yeah um yeah and uh I
- 52:51got it I got it for Christmas or something and it's [ __ ] great um but
- 52:55I never used it at home cuz I was like I'll just use a mug but then I found
- 52:58like my coffee does always get cold so I was like I just started using the yeti
- 53:04at home and then now like if you close that thing that coffee is [ __ ] hot
- 53:08you know 4 P.M yeah right huh good stuff this episode brought to you by Stanley
- 53:13and Y I'm looking at uh I'm looking at uh thermoses now because I want to see
- 53:19if I can get a thermos that looks exactly like this one but not $500 and
- 53:22then see if I can get myself a sticker yeah the reason why I not is most
- 53:26critical did thing about it like where he was talking about how people going
- 53:30crazy for and then he got one and went like they are actually good yeah yeah no
- 53:34like like I said this was I think this was I don't know what it was like $10 or
- 53:38something on clearance I don't know why I just saw it and I was like oh yeah
- 53:42I'll have that and then I think that's part of their Market is they release a
- 53:45lot release limit so some do really well and some don't and then you want to try
- 53:51get new ones in because people are buying like wanted to keep buying them
- 53:54because they're new thing yeah mark it well I want to make it clear that I
- 54:01didn't even know it was a thing and I'm not trying to and not trying to get in
- 54:04on that yeah but if Stanley does want to send us some more I'll happily drink
- 54:09liquids out of them I imagine putting a gin and tonic in them that big amazing big gin and
- 54:15tonic look speaking of um deep discounts apparently if I go to
- 54:20Walmart I can get a copy of Starfield real cheap is this true um if you go to
- 54:27the bins behind Walmart you might be able to just see a few copies there
- 54:31because they have said they have reduced them the physical copies as low as they
- 54:37possibly can without just throwing away money and if they don't sell at this
- 54:41price they will literally just put these in the bin so is this a thing that they
- 54:46just do it's just that Starfield is yeah yeah yeah I think they do this with
- 54:50excess stock anyway it's just that no one thought a game like Starfield which
- 54:54was promised to be yeah was gonna literally be so unpopular that they
- 54:59would just be beating copies of it honestly no I don't think it's that it's
- 55:03popular I think they ordered too many because yeah it could be they just over
- 55:09estim Bethesda game big Bethesda game coming out we need to get a lot of these
- 55:13but most people playing on Game Pass or if you are buying it you're buying the
- 55:18digital or if you were buying a physical copy people were buying like The Limited
- 55:23Edition version not just the normal standard well when was the last time you bought a
- 55:28physical copy of a game uh I bought the limit the limited edition Starfield yeah
- 55:33not limited edition like not to get
- 55:37stuff probably a case with a disc in it because I was about to say I have gotten
- 55:43cheap games from wmart four was my last one um Duck
- 55:48Dynasty the game because there's a game of Duck Dynasty yes what do you they didn't
- 55:55release it in this you grow a beard didn't release it in Australia so when I
- 55:59was in America I brought a to for $5 I think I bought alien isolation from
- 56:05Walmart for five bucks at some point and that might be the last physical game my
- 56:09boy second hand no like yeah so that's why I was about
- 56:16to say that they they do sell them cheap yeah copies do get marked down quite a
- 56:22lot never reduced price I think the game had been out a while at that point but I
- 56:26still even at the time I remember thinking oh [ __ ] that's cheap I get
- 56:30it um possibly a switch game maybe I
- 56:34bought something on the switch physical but yeah I don't think this is sort of a
- 56:39uh like hey this game didn't sell well or anything like that I think this is
- 56:44just walart bought too many yeah yeah sure well yeah but I think this is
- 56:50probably also indicative of a larger problem which is that people aren't
- 56:54buying physical discs you can't expect to be able to buy the
- 56:59same quantity of something that you used to be able to well that's what we spoke
- 57:04about last week with the Microsoft layoffs that are happening I did look
- 57:07into it a little bit more part of the layoffs that are happening is in their
- 57:11physical discs they they're get Outsource that now because they're not
- 57:16really focused on physical anymore so that's part of the psychological discs yeah wish I
- 57:23wasn't so focused on the physical that's what the ancient atlantan used to
- 57:27use yeah psychological discs yeah yeah the crystal Cube the physical media is
- 57:32it's gone like you got I think like EB Games and game looking at not doing
- 57:38tradings anymore yeah so there's really no incens used to
- 57:44be quite lucrative for them yeah and I know a lot of people used to buy um they
- 57:49would buy it physical because they know I'm going to play it and then trade it
- 57:51in that's why they did it I think one of the first articles on the multiple
- 57:55nerdgasm webs it back when it was just a website and we used to post articles was
- 57:59something about how the used game Market was bad for developers I don't remember
- 58:04I think you might be right I don't remember who wrote it or what the
- 58:07specifics were but I do recall whether we were Pro or con yeah we had an
- 58:11article about it on that I was always against it yeah I remember what Luke's
- 58:15first article was yes Luke's Sky G is evil yeah yep murdered all those people
- 58:21in that barge there's this great Channel I think it's called Star Wars explains and it's
- 58:28um it's just a Star Wars apologist who has an encyclopedic knowledge of Cannon
- 58:34and Legend and he just goes through every thing that might be considered a
- 58:41discrepancy in the original Star Wars and then explains it in World why that
- 58:46would be the case why why LAN doesn't
- 58:51recognize C3PO why um Obi-Wan doesn't recognize R2
- 58:56why he says he never owned a Droid where he clearly owned many other droids like
- 59:00this he's got an answer for all of them and and he he knows
- 59:05is it's tongue and cheeks so he's like obviously the real reason was because
- 59:09they didn't consider this when they made the movie but um yeah but then he goes
- 59:13but the in Universe answer and he cites references too so he's like in this book
- 59:17they explain it and in this you know like why does there's a one I didn't
- 59:21even notice this why does Princess Leia have an English accent when only when
- 59:26she's talking to um TK and I didn't notice this but she does put an English
- 59:31accent and evid there's a she got called out on it and there's an interview where
- 59:34she says yeah I was so intimidated working with Peter Cushing that I just
- 59:38did my acting voice and it sounded like I was being British and then the rest of
- 59:41I was just talking American with the with the rest of the cast but there's a
- 59:45book that said she purposely put on his accent mimicked it back at him to show
- 59:51his disdain for for his class you know like so there are in world
- 59:57explanations for everything is there an in World explanation for his
- 1:00:01slippers I love slippers I saw the funny I saw the interview with him where he
- 1:00:06talked about that the other day popped up on YouTube wearing my slippers I was
- 1:00:10wearing these riding boots and after the first day I said to George George I'm in
- 1:00:14agony can we just not film below the
- 1:00:16waist and George said sure yeah yeah and
- 1:00:21literally tken is literally just wearing slippers yeah the whole movie I will
- 1:00:26make you happy because you're one of our biggest stars on this yeah the the scene
- 1:00:30in in the blimp in Last Crusade um neither of them are wearing pants there
- 1:00:36just just them sitting at the table talking to each other is like when was
- 1:00:39the last time we uh shared a drink he's like you left just when you were getting
- 1:00:43interesting that scene apparently it was really hot Under The Lights as the sound
- 1:00:47stayed and Sean Conor was like is it waste up and spo's like yeah and he's
- 1:00:53like well I'm taking off my pants it's [ __ ] and he just took off his pants
- 1:00:57and then Harrison Ford was like well pants I know wear pants took his pants
- 1:01:03off as well weather man and um no
- 1:01:10pants yeah yeah so just know when you watch that
- 1:01:15scene I will know from now on [ __ ] that mov that movie's great it's got
- 1:01:19like we've we've done this we've done this but I was going to say it's got
- 1:01:22bits where it's like oh I can see the the the Crystal Skull coming kind of
- 1:01:27thing in some of the gags but it's just still so good it's funny
- 1:01:32because Raiders is so pin perfect
- 1:01:37serious tone all the way through to the point where he's doing ridiculous things
- 1:01:42so seriously that it makes it good like that's why it was good then in the
- 1:01:46second one they were like let's ramp up The Comedy and have this like wacky one
- 1:01:51liners like a James Bond movie but we'll also have way dark stuff like people
- 1:01:56having their [ __ ] Hearts ripped out and [ __ ] and then in the third one
- 1:02:00they're like let's not do that anymore but let's still lean into the comedy and
- 1:02:04so you get like a strange hybrid of of the two yeah 100% all right we coming to
- 1:02:10the end but I think before we finish up on the main show I think we should go
- 1:02:14through a followup news and discuss Alex baldwood oh
- 1:02:19sure well there's two bits of of B news
- 1:02:23right number one which I don't know this
- 1:02:28I I think this is already really I remember this being true at the
- 1:02:32beginning so they alleged that the armor brought live bullets on set now I
- 1:02:37remember when we first heard about the shooting on the r sh they were there was
- 1:02:42rumors about them taking the guns off and shooting and messing around with the
- 1:02:46guns so this I don't know this sounds sort of true to me that this could be a
- 1:02:50case well she denies it that's I think that's why there's an argument here is
- 1:02:54that just she flat out denies it but yes so you're right before anyone was
- 1:02:58talking about anything when somebody said they was someone was shot on the
- 1:03:00rust said before we knew any details the first detail that came out was yeah the
- 1:03:05crew had been shooting cans earlier that day right offset and then everyone said
- 1:03:11no no no that didn't happen but evidently now it's come out that yes
- 1:03:16there were bullets brought to the set people are saying no no no like we were
- 1:03:20encouraged to just go off and shoot these guns in between takes if we wanted
- 1:03:25to it's [ __ ] stupid isn't it like probably the most stupid thing you could
- 1:03:30do on a film set with guns if you had one rule about it would be no real
- 1:03:36bullets right Jesus Christ I mean what could possibly go wrong yeah yeah why
- 1:03:42would you have a no bullets rule it doesn't make it what is this nanny
- 1:03:44statement yeah we'll never know we'll never know what the purpose of that rule
- 1:03:47was that's right yeah or what the consequences would be if you did break
- 1:03:51that R yeah unfortunately no lessons have been learned here yeah that's right
- 1:03:57all you do is have and we keep another dead horse we keep flogging I I still
- 1:04:02think all Alec Baldwin had to do was come out going a not my job to know if
- 1:04:06there's bullets in the gun B shouldn't have been bullets in the gun under any
- 1:04:11circumstances and see like there should
- 1:04:14not be any way to even combine the two thing like should just be prop guns yes
- 1:04:21I pulled the trigger yes I was pointing at someone I meant to I was told to do
- 1:04:26his position should have been the entire time there is no reasonable reason I
- 1:04:29should ever have suspected that [ __ ] bullet anywhere near me let alone in the
- 1:04:35gun yeah sag that the The Screen Actors Guild
- 1:04:40have come out and said it is not and quoting it is not an actor's job to be a
- 1:04:45weapons expert so they they are standing and they are saying there's prop gun
- 1:04:50people what are they called armorers on the set for that specific reason
- 1:04:55Remember When people were talking like oh they should now give actors training
- 1:04:58so they know when they pick up a gun that they know the weight's difference I
- 1:05:01don't know I mean look if you want to do that fine but like you know
- 1:05:06responsibility yeah and and if you do that do it just as an extra layer of of
- 1:05:11security don't do it so that it's like Alec Baldwin you're in charge of this now
- 1:05:17like yeah yeah but and I yeah cuz people going no no no if you're holding the gel
- 1:05:22was your responsibility like yes but this was this was a specific scenario
- 1:05:26where that's never been the cas it's been like this for how many [ __ ]
- 1:05:29years have we' been making movies 100 years or whatever right there's a person
- 1:05:32there whose job it is right this is not at home where he was like oh what's this
- 1:05:37thing kind it's his responsibility to listen to The armorer Who says it's
- 1:05:41supposed to be a very controlled environment and somebody [ __ ] up this
- 1:05:47can become Baldwin's sort responsibility thing is if he knew that they were
- 1:05:52[ __ ] around and and he was the producer producer yeah he and he didn't
- 1:05:57fire someone yeah yes that's the only time that 100% I think if he knew that
- 1:06:02that was happening because here's the thing that that that no one's talking
- 1:06:05about too because this armor is saying they're not my bullets not my okay fine
- 1:06:09even if all that's true it's still your responsibility to check yes should have
- 1:06:14check one person so even if you're saying other people brought their own
- 1:06:18bullets knowing I'd have real guns you're why you put safe until you take
- 1:06:24it out and you you only load it with your blanks that you take out of a new
- 1:06:29packet of blanks and you hand it to Alec Baldwin and say Here's how you do this
- 1:06:33it's fully blanked I've checked it yes or if someone further up the chain
- 1:06:38overruled that well then you need to [ __ ] say who that was cuz then it's
- 1:06:42their fault that's right like if the first ad went rogue and grabbed the you
- 1:06:47know and excluded the armor was not there because they were not supposed to
- 1:06:52use guns for that scene they decided to shoot extra scenes to try to make up
- 1:06:55some time and so they just grabbed the gun and did it and what [ __ ] happened
- 1:06:59yeah and that's why there's rules yes MH and currently the rules don't say Al
- 1:07:06bald needs to be a weapons expert if they want to change the rules to say
- 1:07:09that yeah fine unfortunately himself made it more complicated by trying to
- 1:07:16argue that he didn't that the gun just malfunction not have done that in no no
- 1:07:21should I think my my my opinion is that he was he maybe he genuinely thought
- 1:07:25that cuz he was in shock or something but it just seems like that wasn't that's not the
- 1:07:29case yeah and he shouldn't have said anything shouldn't have said anything
- 1:07:34and I assume his lawyers told him not to and he didn't listen yeah CU I can't
- 1:07:38imagine his lawyers were like no you you should definitely do that interview yeah
- 1:07:41yeah that would be a great idea go in public and just sell your sort of story
- 1:07:46and yeah yeah put yourself into a corner that you can't I'm going to tell them
- 1:07:50the gun function did the gun function I don't know I'm just going to say it oh
- 1:07:53yeah sure sounds great good idea you do
- 1:07:59that you know go ahead no no I just I wanted to get this out in the main
- 1:08:04because we it's m it's main story it always has
- 1:08:10been put that put glacial Maximus
