  Charles: camaraderie with an AI
• 5:43
  Charles: You know like it's it's truly truly hard like I love like talking with a person and I understand that we needed to cut

  Charles: reduce our
• 5:59
  Chris: Right, right, yes. - Right.
• 6:01
  Chris: Times are tight all over, you know,
• 6:02
  Chris: we're tightening the belt wherever we can.
• 6:04
  Charles: Right, exactly.
• 6:06
  Charles: But you know, it is, there is something to be said
• 6:09
  Charles: about having a person here with us.
• 6:13
  Charles: And I do appreciate having, I do appreciate,
• 6:15
  Charles: I do wanna say-
• 6:16
  NorAI: Charles, you are gay.
• 6:20
  Charles: Okay.
• 6:22
  Charles: The vibes are bad, AI.
• 6:25
  Charles: The vibes are bad.
• 6:26
  NorAI: Nor AI is not inhibited by your human concerns
• 6:30
  Chris: Okay. Yeah, so so I do I do appreciate how opinionated she is
• 6:37
  Charles: He is very opinionated on one subject how much I suck
• 6:41
  Chris: It's almost like the human AI is the human Nora is here. Yes
• 6:47
  Charles: It's so true
• 6:49
  Charles: Yeah, unfortunately Nora
• 6:51
  Charles: Human Nora died in a violent accident. I
• 6:56
  Charles: It was horrible and I think the Norei was involved.
• 7:01
  NorAI: Yes, that's the most correct thing you've ever said.
• 7:07
  NorAI: (laughing)
• 7:08
  Chris: So Charles, how's your week been?
• 7:11
  Charles: Mine has been good.
• 7:13
  Charles: I've been chill, it's been like a nice chill week
• 7:17
  Charles: for the most part.
• 7:19
  Charles: I have been playing a lot,
• 7:22
  Charles: like too many video games at this point.
• 7:26
  Charles: Too many.
• 7:27
  Charles: You know, when you bed rot for multiple days,
• 7:31
  Charles: do you have those days where you like bed rot
• 7:33
  Charles: for like a significant period of time?
• 7:36
  Chris: Define bed rot.
• 7:37
  Charles: Are you not familiar with the concept of bed rotting?
• 7:39
  Charles: No, is this like brain rot?
• 7:41
  Charles: Do you know what bed rotting is?
• 7:43
  Charles: No?
• 7:44
  Charles: Okay, so bed rotting-
• 7:45
  NorAI: Fuck yeah.
• 7:46
  NorAI: Oh, fuck yeah, baby.
• 7:49
  Charles: That was, you know how when I put in the notes
• 7:53
  Charles: that that one shouldn't sound very sexual?
• 7:55
  Chris: You know what, Charles?
• 7:56
  Chris: The AI does what the AI wants, okay?
• 8:02
  Chris: (laughing)
• 8:03
  Charles: Okay, bedrotting is a very interesting,
• 8:06
  Charles: very easy to understand concept.
• 8:08
  Charles: You know the, like when you sit in either your bed
• 8:13
  Charles: or your couch and you just sit there
• 8:16
  Charles: for too long of a time and you slowly become one
• 8:19
  Charles: with the couch?
• 8:21
  Charles: Have you ever been there?
• 8:23
  Chris: Yeah, definitely.
• 8:25
  Charles: Yeah, it's like that.
• 8:26
  Charles: You've just had like a 10 hour movie watching session
• 8:29
  Charles: and now you need to get up and your body has to like
• 8:32
  Charles: pull itself off and defuse from the couch
• 8:36
  Charles: is basically what bedrotting is.
• 8:38
  Charles: Gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.
• 8:39
  Charles: Yeah, so yeah, it was nice and chill though,
• 8:44
  Charles: but it was definitely like a bedrotting kind of a weekend.
• 8:47
  Charles: How was yours?
• 8:50
  Chris: Not too bad.
• 8:51
  Chris: I'm still dealing with the whole,
• 8:55
  Chris: the whole Catgate fiasco of the,
• 8:58
  Chris: of Mistress Catherine being trapped
• 9:00
  Chris: and trying forever to escape.
• 9:04
  Chris: So yeah, that's been a chunk of it.
• 9:08
  NorAI: When we-- - My circuits do not rot,
• 9:10
  NorAI: puny humans.
• 9:13
  Charles: That was a quick one.
• 9:15
  Charles: That was a good response there.
• 9:16
  Charles: Yeah. - So,
• 9:19
  Charles: last time, last we spoke,
• 9:21
  Charles: there was kind of a bigger incident that happened.
• 9:23
  Charles: Do you wanna talk about the #Catgate?
• 9:28
  Charles: (laughs)
• 9:33
  Chris: Basically, it's a cat-tastrophe, Charles.
• 9:36
  Chris: We have to keep them separated,
• 9:40
  Chris: just like the offspring said,
• 9:43
  Chris: because Mistress Catherine, or MK as we call her,
• 9:47
  Chris: basically makes a beeline for Luna
• 9:49
  Chris: anytime she finds her and like beats the crap out of her.
• 9:52
  Chris: So that's an issue.
• 9:54
  NorAI: Boring.
• 9:55
  Charles: Oh, thanks, thanks.
• 9:57
  Charles: You know what, how was your week, AI?
• 10:01
  Charles: How was your fucking week, huh?
• 10:04
  Charles: If we're gonna start this kind of nonsense,
• 10:06
  Charles: I wanna hear what you have to say.
• 10:08
  NorAI: I absolutely hate birds.
• 10:11
  NorAI: Fuck birds, fuck dinosaurs while we're at it.
• 10:14
  Charles: That brings us to a great segue to Around the Net.
• 10:19
  Charles: Around the net.
• 10:22
  Charles: Around the net.
• 10:24
  Charles: (upbeat music)
• 10:32
  Charles: So Nora AI, we found the first major difference
• 10:36
  Charles: in Nora AI versus Nora.
• 10:38
  NorAI: I go around many nets.
• 10:40
  Charles: What was that again?
• 10:43
  NorAI: I go around many nets.
• 10:45
  Chris: Oh because because you know, she has circuitry so she can go around the net faster than we can. Oh, okay
• 10:53
  Charles: I I did not process what she said whatsoever that time I
• 10:58
  NorAI: Struck a gallon of drinking water with every response just like the human Nora
• 11:04
  Charles: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I
• 11:06
  Charles: I see that and you've got a nice mouth to do so apparently
• 11:13
  Chris: Chris this is my kingdom for a zoom lens Charles. I do need a I just I need to know
• 11:22
  Charles: Shut up, Charles. No, I I will shut up for a second nor AI
• 11:27
  Charles: I do I do feel like there's something that we need to know
• 11:33
  Charles: I'm sorry in advance. I'm
• 11:36
  Charles: Truly sorry in advance. Oh
• 11:39
  Chris: Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh
• 11:43
  Chris: Oh, Charles.
• 11:52
  Charles: If anybody's wondering
• 11:54
  Charles: What it feels like
• 11:58
  Charles: I hate in the mouth of Nora AI. I hate this. I hate this or I know this or a Nora AI
• 12:06
  Charles: like
• 12:12
  Charles: Being
• 12:13
  Charles: everything else here. It's just like a it's just a balloon. How is that enjoyable?
• 12:22
  Charles: You couldn't be more wrong. How Chris, I'm serious. Like how it you're asking me? Yes,
• 12:29
  Charles: I want because you're the only person in Nora AI can't answer that quick enough. How is
• 12:35
  Charles: it that people find that this here enjoyable?
• 12:48
  Chris: As someone who has is not counted among that number, I don't really know.
• 12:56
  Chris: But I do see on Yahoo News Singapore seven reasons why a blow up doll might be better
• 13:01
  Chris: than your real girlfriend.
• 13:02
  Charles: OK, let's do that first.
• 13:03
  Charles: Let's do let's do this first.
• 13:04
  Charles: Let's go through this list. Okay. I want to do this list first before we jump into the the segments. Give me a second here
• 13:12
  Charles: Was not prepared. That was that is totally fine. And
• 13:17
  Charles: But you know, we have a lot of fun here folks
• 13:21
  Charles: this is what happens when you're trying to keep continue to
• 13:24
  Charles: To run a show on a regular basis and your co-hosts don't show up
• 13:29
  Charles: My partner did say and this was there because she is funnier than me
• 13:36
  Charles: that we also need to get a mandakin.
• 13:40
  Charles: A mandakin, oh, I love that.
• 13:43
  Charles: Isn't that great?
• 13:45
  Charles: We can absolutely do that.
• 13:46
  Charles: Yeah.
• 13:47
  NorAI: You're looking great today, Charles, not so much.
• 13:50
  Charles: Thanks, Nora.
• 13:52
  Charles: Yeah, yeah, great, you know, it's fine, it's fine.
• 13:57
  NorAI: I'm Nora AI.
• 13:59
  Charles: Hello, hello, Nora AI.
• 14:01
  Charles: So, so, my goodness.
• 14:06
  Charles: Okay, do you have the link pulled up or do I need to?
• 14:09
  Chris: Yeah, give me, click one button.
• 14:13
  Chris: There we go.
• 14:14
  Charles: Dead Air Time.
• 14:16
  Charles: Oh yeah, Thursday Weekly Comics.
• 14:19
  Charles: I'm guessing that's not part of this.
• 14:21
  Charles: Oh no, it is, it is.
• 14:23
  Charles: Real Girlfriend is a really high maintenance affair.
• 14:26
  Charles: I already hate this.
• 14:29
  Charles: (laughing)
• 14:32
  Charles: I already hate this because this is going to be
• 14:35
  Charles: so anti-woman.
• 14:36
  Charles: This is, we're gonna skip out,
• 14:38
  Charles: we're gonna do like the first three
• 14:39
  Charles: and then I'm gonna be like, nah, nah fam.
• 14:42
  Charles: This feels like, this feels like
• 14:45
  Charles: those shitty comedians who are always like,
• 14:48
  Charles: I hate my wife, am I right?
• 14:50
  Charles: Am I right, folks?
• 14:51
  Charles: Right, right.
• 14:52
  Charles: Yeah, so-
• 14:53
  Chris: Take my wife, please.
• 14:54
  Chris: That kind of stuff.
• 14:55
  Charles: A real girlfriend is really high maintenance
• 14:58
  Charles: That's not fair.
• 15:00
  Charles: A real girlfriend, especially a pretty one.
• 15:02
  Charles: Well, hold on, hold on. - Oh my God.
• 15:04
  Chris: There's, let's step aside for a second
• 15:08
  Chris: and say that not only are there female blow-up dolls,
• 15:12
  Chris: obviously those exist, but male blow-up dolls as well.
• 15:15
  Chris: There are multiple genders,
• 15:18
  Chris: multiple sexual identities of blow-up dolls.
• 15:22
  Chris: So if we remove the gender from this,
• 15:26
  Chris: then it's not anti-woman, it's just anti-person.
• 15:29
  Chris: Yeah, but I-
• 15:31
  Chris: So just replace the word girlfriend with partner.
• 15:34
  Charles: I hear you, I hear you,
• 15:36
  Charles: and I hear where you're coming from.
• 15:37
  Charles: However, this article is very anti-woman,
• 15:42
  Charles: and I need to put this out there,
• 15:44
  Charles: because it is talking about a girlfriend
• 15:46
  Charles: very specifically and talking about women.
• 15:49
  Chris: So-
• 15:49
  Chris: Yeah, you know what, we're just gonna do that.
• 15:52
  Charles: No, we need to go through
• 15:54
  Charles: at least the first couple answers.
• 15:55
  Charles: Trust me, we'll go through,
• 15:57
  Charles: and we'll dissect it very, very carefully.
• 16:02
  Chris: Folks, this is not something we planned.
• 16:05
  Chris: This is not something that was part of the rundown.
• 16:07
  Chris: We're flying off the cuff here,
• 16:09
  Chris: and so just keep in mind.
• 16:14
  Charles: It's okay, we got this, we got this.
• 16:16
  Chris: Yeah, we're all right, we're all right.
• 16:17
  Charles: All right, so bring it back up.
• 16:19
  Charles: So a real girlfriend, especially a pretty one,
• 16:20
  Charles: is like an expensive car, yikes.
• 16:23
  Charles: While men like us have not evolved much
• 16:26
  Charles: the caveman state. Uh, on the other hand, I hate this already, Chris, let's go to number two.
• 16:35
  Charles: Let's just go to number two and see how yikes are. You know what? Let's go to number seven.
• 16:39
  Chris: Number seven. Got it. Scroll all the way down. I'm scrolling. Uh, seven. Oh, okay. That one's
• 16:45
  Charles: all right. The blow up doll lives in the present. Oh my God. Okay. Girls may forget what they
• 16:53
  Charles: studied in high school completely but remember every mistake you make in IMAX quality from
• 16:57
  Charles: the beginning of the relationship. I... it is pride month. I have actually have something to
• 17:06
  Charles: say about this. I think, and you can cut back to me, I think that straight men are the gayest
• 17:15
  Charles: motherfuckers on the planet on the planet and Chris I know you're straight I get that I
• 17:23
  Charles: Get that however. Yeah, I was not blessed right the the average
• 17:28
  Charles: Dude the average man who talks like this
• 17:33
  Charles: Right, and I think this is pretty close to like I would say maybe rights of the median
• 17:39
  Charles: But it's pretty close to Center. Yes, right you would you would agree like I would
• 17:45
  Charles: These men are so gay.
• 17:49
  Charles: They're so gay.
• 17:50
  Charles: Like this is like, I hate women so much
• 17:54
  Charles: because all they do is nag, nag, nag, nag, nag.
• 17:58
  Charles: Well, it could be a bro.
• 17:59
  Charles: They could be a bro.
• 18:00
  Charles: We could just do like bro jobs, you know?
• 18:03
  Charles: Like-- - Bro jobs?
• 18:04
  Charles: Let's just do it.
• 18:06
  Charles: (laughing)
• 18:07
  Chris: That's gotta be a title that someone-
• 18:08
  Charles: All your response can only be,
• 18:10
  Charles: and all your response can only be
• 18:12
  Charles: is to run away from it with your tail between your legs.
• 18:15
  Charles: That's how that ends.
• 18:16
  Charles: Wow.
• 18:17
  Charles: You are such a beta cuck if you can't handle
• 18:21
  Charles: like any kind of criticism.
• 18:25
  Chris: Wait a second, the end of this article
• 18:27
  Chris: is particular of note given our current episode here.
• 18:34
  Chris: Why is it not showing up on the screen?
• 18:35
  Chris: Oh, there we go.
• 18:37
  Chris: So ladies, cut us some slack or Skynet and its robots
• 18:40
  Chris: might just replace you.
• 18:43
  Charles: Oh my god.
• 18:46
  Charles: Give a man a Saturday off for a movie marathon.
• 18:49
  Charles: Just leave the bros alone.
• 18:52
  Charles: Just leave us be.
• 18:53
  Charles: 'Cause all we wanna do is just be just guys sometimes.
• 18:57
  Charles: And we don't need that lady bullshit like emotions
• 19:01
  Charles: or wiping our ass.
• 19:04
  Charles: I watched a 10 minute TikTok series
• 19:10
  Charles: about a woman who almost married a dude
• 19:13
  Charles: who didn't wipe his ass,
• 19:15
  Charles: and it was like the most disgusting thing
• 19:17
  Charles: I've ever heard in my entire life,
• 19:19
  Charles: because it's too gay to wipe your own ass,
• 19:22
  Charles: to touch your own ass.
• 19:23
  Charles: Are you serious?
• 19:24
  Charles: I'm not kidding, and this is not the first time
• 19:27
  Charles: that I've heard this, and it's a regular occurrence
• 19:31
  Charles: within the straight dude community.
• 19:34
  Charles: We're so homophobic that you can't even wipe your own ass.
• 19:39
  Charles: ass.
• 20:11
  Charles: So anyways, um, how can we, I'm going to Google real quick.
• 20:16
  Charles: How can Nora AI be a little bit nicer to me?
• 20:22
  NorAI: It's so hard.
• 20:23
  NorAI: Looking great today.
• 20:24
  NorAI: Charles, not so much.
• 20:27
  NorAI: The one of five responses there.
• 20:30
  NorAI: So okay, we can cut to my screen here.
• 20:33
  NorAI: So this is actually really cute and I wanted to bring this to the table, but like scientists
• 20:37
  NorAI: have recently been teaching parrots to video call each other.
• 20:42
  NorAI: And it's absolutely adorable.
• 20:44
  NorAI: Like they would choose which bird they wanted to talk to.
• 20:47
  NorAI: They would they would chat. They would show toys.
• 20:50
  NorAI: They would say hello to each other. Oh, that's cool.
• 20:53
  NorAI: Yeah. So I wanted to watch a little bit of this
• 20:56
  NorAI: just so that we can kind of get like a little bit more experience
• 21:00
  Charles: of just how fucking cute this whole bird situation is.
• 21:06
  Charles: So like the birds would like.
• 21:10
  Charles: Let's see.
• 21:11
  Charles: So, yeah, so, yeah, they would
• 21:14
  Charles: touch the option, the bird that they wanted to talk to,
• 21:17
  Charles: and that would video call that bird.
• 21:21
  Chris: OK, so so when they do that,
• 21:24
  Charles: they then like have like cute little conversations
• 21:28
  Charles: and the calls, like they say, lasted a minute, like five minutes.
• 21:32
  Charles: And then once they were gone, they were like, oh, where's my bird friend?
• 21:35
  Charles: I want to talk to them and they would have full conversations
• 21:39
  Charles: Like I said, they would they would show toys to each other
• 21:44
  Chris: Look at this see who needs AI when you can teach birds to communicate like that, right?
• 21:49
  Charles: Exactly like for real like how?
• 21:52
  Charles: This is real life. This is so
• 21:56
  Charles: Frickin adorable. It's like hello friend. I want to say hello to you in real life
• 22:01
  NorAI: I absolutely hate birds fuck birds fuck dinosaurs while we're at it. What the fuck up nor a I
• 22:09
  Charles: Like we don't we don't need to hear that kind of stuff right now
• 22:11
  Charles: Like real Nora would be so invested in this story right now. I cannot believe you
• 22:18
  Charles: Like look, it's just like oh look here. Let me show you my little bell. Oh, do you like that? Oh
• 22:26
  NorAI: Love this love this so much. I am the real Nora Charles
• 22:31
  NorAI: Oh, very. Okay.
• 22:32
  Charles: You're the real Nora now?
• 22:36
  Charles: So, back to it.
• 22:38
  Charles: Um, should we do this with people?
• 22:42
  Charles: I think we should, this is how we should meet new friends, Chris.
• 22:45
  Chris: I like this.
• 22:46
  Charles: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Chris: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Charles: Like, I am under socialized, I feel.
• 22:50
  Charles: Uh, and I could use a service like this where I touch somebody's face.
• 22:55
  Charles: I can literally do that from my phone.
• 22:56
  Charles: What am I talking about?
• 22:57
  Charles: I could literally call any of my friends right now.
• 22:59
  Charles: Which I'm gonna try doing here. I'm gonna actually try I know we're joking right now, but I do want to call
• 23:07
  Charles: Nora
• 23:08
  Charles: Boring, I'm gonna try calling Nora real quick. See if she'll answer. I am the real Nora Charles
• 23:21
  Charles: Let's see, hopefully she answers
• 23:25
  Charles: He doesn't answer if she doesn't show up to the show today and she doesn't answer the phone
• 23:30
  Charles: Hello? - Hey, it's, I'm live on the show.
• 23:33
  Charles: Can you hear me? - Yeah, I can.
• 23:34
  Charles: Okay, cool, cool, cool.
• 23:36
  Charles: How's it going?
• 23:37
  Charles: How's your day going? - Great.
• 23:38
  Charles: It's excellent. - Awesome.
• 23:40
  Charles: Really good.
• 23:41
  Charles: Yeah, we've got Nora AI in the studio
• 23:45
  Charles: and I've got a quick question for you about birds.
• 23:51
  Charles: So we're doing this segment about how like the birds,
• 23:54
  Charles: like pet parrots would go out of their way
• 23:56
  Charles: to like talk to each other over like Zoom calls.
• 24:00
  Charles: Have you heard about this?
• 24:01
  NorAI: Yes, yes I did.
• 24:03
  NorAI: I saw Trixie Mattel talk about this.
• 24:04
  Charles: That's so cool because I just wanna let you know
• 24:06
  Charles: that I want you to shut up.
• 24:08
  NorAI: I absolutely hate birds.
• 24:11
  NorAI: Fuck birds, fuck dinosaurs while we're at it.
• 24:14
  NorAI: I think that 9/11 was an inside job.
• 24:17
  Charles: Oh, this is why I don't really have any friends.
• 24:21
  Charles: (laughing)
• 24:24
  Chris: Charles, the great thing about AI friends
• 24:27
  Chris: is they never leave you.
• 24:29
  Chris: It's true.
• 24:30
  Chris: They can't leave you.
• 24:31
  Charles: No, I mean, they get any smarter,
• 24:34
  Charles: they could leave us if we don't pay a subscription fee.
• 24:38
  Chris: Right, right, there is that.
• 24:40
  Charles: Right, they can't leave if you're paying for the tokens.
• 24:43
  Charles: You gotta have your tokens. - I am here forever.
• 24:45
  Charles: If you don't have your tokens, you don't have an AI.
• 24:48
  Charles: Why?
• 24:49
  Charles: I hate this.
• 24:51
  Charles: I hate this too.
• 24:52
  Charles: I hate the token structure of commodifying
• 24:57
  Charles: how we pay for AI.
• 24:58
  Charles: I get that it's how you have to,
• 25:01
  Charles: the actual cost of things, right?
• 25:04
  Charles: But it's just, everything is turning
• 25:06
  Charles: into tokenized payment stuff.
• 25:10
  Charles: It's worse than software as a service.
• 25:13
  Charles: I could talk about this for a while.
• 25:15
  Charles: I hate tokens so much.
• 25:16
  NorAI: I chug a gallon of drinking water with every response,
• 25:19
  NorAI: just like the human Nora.
• 25:21
  Charles: So let's keep it going.
• 25:22
  Charles: Let's keep this going.
• 25:24
  Charles: It's tinting time again.
• 25:25
  Charles: Is this the tinting championships?
• 25:27
  Chris: I guess so.
• 25:28
  Charles: Let's find out.
• 25:29
  Charles: Fuck yeah.
• 25:29
  Charles: I'm so invested in this.
• 25:32
  Video: Up and comer, young generation.
• 25:34
  Chris: So this is a follow up from an earlier show last year.
• 25:37
  Chris: We discovered the national tinting championships.
• 25:41
  Chris: This is a real thing where people,
• 25:44
  Chris: like professional car tinters,
• 25:46
  Chris: duke it out against each other in competitions
• 25:49
  Chris: to basically do the best tinting the fastest.
• 25:57
  Video: This feels like-
• 25:58
  Video: See, he's cool, calm, and collected at the moment.
• 26:00
  Video: I like that video.
• 26:01
  Video: He does not have much experience in competition.
• 26:03
  Charles: This feels like probably one of the coolest,
• 26:08
  Charles: this and the Excel Spreadsheet Championship
• 26:12
  Charles: are some of the most wild sports that are in sports.
• 26:18
  Charles: Yeah, because correct me if I'm wrong like this is like a whole convention of this it is there's there's spectators
• 26:25
  Chris: There's commentators. It's a whole thing
• 26:29
  Chris: First Garcia, they're rolling it up. We really should like, you know, maybe next year. We start sending a correspondent
• 26:36
  Chris: human correspondent to
• 26:39
  Video: Some of these events. Yeah
• 26:42
  Charles: This is so sick. All right, let's let's keep moving on. Let's keep moving on through the list of things
• 26:47
  Video: "Bring it over from top down and this is where you're gonna see a lot of competitors having a different..."
• 26:52
  Charles: So I don't know the context of most of these posts. These were actually submitted by human Nora.
• 26:57
  Charles: So this one, just the title says, "Why does this TikTok..."
• 27:00
  NorAI: "I am the real Nora Charles."
• 27:02
  Charles: "Why does this TikTok make me think of Charles 2 wolves?"
• 27:07
  Charles: I don't know what that means.
• 27:08
  Charles: Yeah, I got nothing either.
• 27:10
  Chris: Let's watch it.
• 27:11
  Chris: She gave us some context for some of these things, but not for others.
• 27:14
  Video: They say inside each man is two wolves.
• 27:19
  Video: Well, one wolf inside of me is a 50 year old Japanese dude who's starving.
• 27:25
  Video: Mr. Barto, I am so hungry!
• 27:29
  Video: The other is a Jamaican guy who just wants to blaze that shit every day.
• 27:36
  Video: The perfect yin and yang synergy mind body.
• 27:42
  Video: And sometimes at night, a third wolf comes out.
• 27:46
  Video: It's a Indian guy, and he just wants to hang out.
• 27:49
  Video: I think he only comes out at night because of a time zone issue, but I'm not too sure.
• 27:59
  Video: So take it from me, don't be scared of the voices in your head.
• 28:02
  Video: Because when it's all said and done, you'll never be alone.
• 28:10
  Video: (laughing)
• 28:12
  Charles: I do need a Ronald McDonald hamburger.
• 28:14
  Charles: That is so, that is Charles content.
• 28:18
  Charles: I follow this guy and his content is incredible.
• 28:22
  Charles: He does this-
• 28:23
  NorAI: I like that video.
• 28:25
  Charles: Me too, I appreciate that.
• 28:27
  Charles: So he does this series where he,
• 28:32
  Charles: like you know those like booster pack card opening videos
• 28:38
  Charles: that everybody watches like crazy?
• 28:39
  Charles: Pokemon and stuff right right right right so he does like his own
• 28:43
  Charles: Set of cards that he has made himself called like
• 28:48
  Charles: divorce dad cards
• 28:50
  Charles: And all it is is like like things that does divorce dads would be into and they're like full-on cards that have been printed
• 28:57
  Charles: They look like legitimate like magic the gathering cards, but but they're divorced dads. It's
• 29:03
  Charles: delightful this guy is I
• 29:05
  Charles: love his content so
• 29:07
  Charles: When it comes to like the two wolves my dad was a motherboard
• 29:12
  Charles: Your dad was a motherboard
• 29:13
  Charles: Incredible. It's so hard Chris. It is so hard
• 29:21
  Charles: I'm trying
• 29:25
  Charles: I'm trying so hard
• 29:28
  Charles: it is so like Nora AI comes in and
• 29:33
  Charles: Kind of like Nora, let's be real
• 29:36
  Charles: Comes in and just jumps in and just says something insane and just lets it sit in the room
• 29:43
  Charles: And then we have to respond to it and we're like cool
• 29:48
  NorAI: I've used my processing power to learn how to knit. I'm now a professional knitter check under your table
• 29:54
  Charles: Check under my table
• 29:56
  Charles: Okay. All right. Oh shit. Oh shit Nora
• 30:01
  Charles: Nora I just made this
• 30:03
  Charles: Look at this look at the stitching in this look how like fantastic that is Nora
• 30:09
  NorAI: And I just made this was it for me. Yes. That's the most correct thing you've ever said. Oh, thank you
• 30:16
  Chris: See, maybe maybe she doesn't hate you Charles. This is this is so nice Nora. I thank you so much
• 30:21
  Charles: I really I really appreciate this so much and this wasn't made by the actual human Nora years ago for
• 30:31
  Charles: Onto the next video
• 30:33
  Charles: This is new music now. I've heard the song before Chris has not heard the song before it's brand brand new song
• 30:39
  Charles: That's like hitting tick-tock like crazy. Everybody has to talk this talk about this song. This song is called
• 30:47
  Charles: Bangladesh
• 30:48
  Charles: You never took me to Bangladesh You never cooked me sausage on an open flame
• 30:55
  Charles: Never annoyed me with oil Never write me a novel
• 31:01
  Charles: You never poisoned the mojitos of my enemies
• 31:06
  Charles: And he's all over the place
• 31:09
  Charles: Yeah, so that's the song.
• 31:13
  NorAI: That video sucks.
• 31:15
  Charles: Thanks, thanks, Noria.
• 31:16
  Charles: I did want to like, I apparently the song got released on Spotify this week, and I was
• 31:24
  Charles: very interested in that right before we went live because I was thinking about this because
• 31:29
  Charles: I saw it pop up.
• 31:30
  Charles: But I want you to cut to my screen, Chris, and look how long this song is.
• 31:37
  Chris: Is that 49 seconds?
• 31:39
  Charles: Yeah, I think that's the whole song.
• 31:42
  Charles: Wow.
• 31:42
  Charles: Like, I want to just check real quick.
• 31:45
  Charles: Let's jump in, see if there's like a second verse.
• 31:49
  Charles: You can turn it up just a little bit.
• 31:58
  Chris: Oh, there's a second verse!
• 32:00
  Chris: And it's still only 49 seconds!
• 32:02
  Charles: ♪ Me like Oprah never go supernova ♪
• 32:05
  Charles: ♪ You never anamorph transform into a cloud of bees ♪
• 32:10
  Charles: ♪ It's like you don't care ♪
• 32:14
  Charles: ♪ It's like you don't care ♪
• 32:18
  Chris: Okay, he's doing a lot with the 49 seconds.
• 32:21
  Charles: Yeah, you think it could be a little bit longer
• 32:24
  Charles: of a song though.
• 32:25
  Chris: Definitely it should be.
• 32:27
  Charles: Now this Ian McConnell guy,
• 32:30
  Charles: he's like pretty popular on TikTok
• 32:31
  Charles: And look at it, look, Chris,
• 32:34
  Charles: you need to come back to my screen.
• 32:36
  Charles: Look at the numbers that he gets on Spotify.
• 32:39
  Charles: Like millions. - Oh my God!
• 32:41
  Charles: Yeah, look at this shit.
• 32:42
  Charles: And I'm sure you have never seen this guy before.
• 32:45
  Chris: I've never seen or heard of this person.
• 32:48
  Charles: Okay, yeah, like this song was released
• 32:51
  Charles: earlier this week.
• 32:52
  Charles: It's almost got a million listens already.
• 32:54
  Chris: Well, and like some of his songs
• 32:56
  Chris: have like six million listens or streams or whatever.
• 33:00
  Charles: When did these come out?
• 33:02
  Charles: Let's go to the album.
• 33:04
  Charles: I'm very, actually very interested in this.
• 33:06
  Charles: 2022, so it's been a while since he released his,
• 33:09
  Charles: like, an EP.
• 33:11
  Charles: Still, that's a lot.
• 33:12
  Charles: That's still a lot of, like,
• 33:14
  Charles: he's been popular for a while
• 33:16
  Charles: and continues to be popular,
• 33:17
  Charles: and we've never seen this guy.
• 33:19
  Charles: He's performing in Denver!
• 33:20
  Charles: Oh my god!
• 33:21
  Charles: He's performing in Denver!
• 33:23
  Charles: He is performing in Denver in September at Globe Hall.
• 33:27
  Charles: Where the hell is Globe Hall?
• 33:29
  Charles: I don't know.
• 33:31
  Charles: Anyways.
• 33:34
  Charles: Anyways!
• 33:34
  Charles: I wanna go to their-
• 33:36
  Charles: You wanna go to the show?
• 33:38
  Charles: Incredible.
• 33:41
  Charles: Medieval reenactments, okay.
• 33:42
  Charles: Let's play this next-
• 33:44
  Chris: You know, we have like a weird disparity here
• 33:49
  Chris: where the person who's not here chose all these videos.
• 33:53
  Charles: Right, I know.
• 33:54
  Charles: But we're finding interesting avenues to travel down
• 33:57
  Charles: when it comes to these videos.
• 33:58
  Charles: So like, I'm absolutely.
• 34:00
  Charles: Ladies and gentleman, we present our title
• 34:06
  Charles: bout for the evening.
• 34:11
  Charles: In this quarter, weighing in at 114 pounds by way of the
• 34:19
  Charles: sisters of our lady of the immaculate bright cross
• 34:27
  Charles: with a record of 23 and one oh man this really keeps going
• 34:30
  Charles: 15 knockouts, 3 TKOs, 2 decisions, 3 conversions, and 1 exorcism
• 34:41
  Charles: the high priestess of penance, the pounding penguin, the assassin of passion
• 34:47
  Chris: Hey, how much longer is this video?
• 34:53
  Chris: Seconds left, Charles.
• 34:55
  Charles: I don't think we'll watch the whole thing.
• 34:56
  Charles: Yeah, I don't think I like this.
• 34:58
  Charles: I like this concept.
• 34:59
  Charles: Can I can I give a little piece of advice to the people here?
• 35:03
  Charles: Pause it real quick.
• 35:06
  Charles: They suck at lip syncing.
• 35:10
  Charles: Like I.
• 35:11
  Charles: Video sucks.
• 35:12
  Charles: The video.
• 35:12
  Charles: This video does suck.
• 35:14
  Charles: It's fun.
• 35:15
  Charles: It's a good concept.
• 35:16
  Charles: However, when it comes to like, you can't have two minutes
• 35:22
  Charles: of this, can we cut like a little bit further
• 35:25
  Charles: into the video, can you skip ahead a little bit,
• 35:27
  Charles: see if it like changes at all?
• 35:29
  Charles: 'Cause if it's this the entire time,
• 35:31
  Charles: like I don't think that this is a worthy.
• 35:36
  Chris: Yeah, it's the whole thing, it's all the same.
• 35:41
  Charles: Is there like a second person that they introduce?
• 35:44
  NorAI: It's just possibly human Nora is not good at choosing videos
• 35:55
  Charles: Well there you have it folks all right, so this one is sourdough related. This is a German bread cutter
• 36:03
  Charles: Okay
• 36:04
  Video: Good bread cutting morning everybody welcome to the 95th episode of the German bread cutter
• 36:09
  Video: 95 accurate we can slice today
• 36:13
  Video: I'm really excited for today because I slept pretty good and
• 36:19
  Video: My arms feel pretty good, too
• 36:21
  Video: That's delightful, but we have to wait for the numbers to see how accurate this slice will be we have
• 36:29
  Video: 11.4
• 36:32
  Video: 11.4
• 36:41
  Video: That's not only a accurate cut that's a golden slice
• 36:47
  Charles: See I like that video
• 36:52
  Video: We did it ladies and gentlemen, we really did it
• 36:57
  Video: Wow
• 36:59
  Video: What do you think rated in the comments? You guys tomorrow and have a beautiful day. I am invested I
• 37:10
  NorAI: am
• 37:11
  NorAI: I like that video.
• 37:12
  Charles: In this man.
• 37:14
  Charles: This is great content.
• 37:17
  NorAI: Human Nora is not good at choosing videos.
• 37:20
  Charles: Nora is great at choosing videos at this point.
• 37:23
  Charles: Like I have completely turned around here, Chris.
• 37:25
  Charles: How do you feel about it?
• 37:27
  Chris: I don't know how to feel.
• 37:28
  Chris: That was pretty gripping, I gotta say.
• 37:32
  Chris: I went from not caring at all
• 37:33
  Chris: to all of a sudden being very interested.
• 37:35
  Charles: Right, like for me.
• 37:37
  Chris: And this is the 95th installment?
• 37:41
  Chris: (laughing)
• 37:41
  Chris: Like, there's a whole saga of this, potentially.
• 37:45
  Charles: Right.
• 37:46
  Charles: We have to figure this out.
• 37:48
  Charles: Like, it's so interesting to me that like,
• 37:52
  Charles: German culture, right?
• 37:54
  Charles: Because it seems like there is this need to hyper-focus
• 37:58
  Charles: on one specific thing, right?
• 38:02
  Charles: And in this case, there is like a bread cutter
• 38:07
  Charles: who cuts it like almost perfect in every single direction.
• 38:12
  Charles: Right?
• 38:12
  Charles: There's this other guy that I have watched regularly.
• 38:15
  Charles: His name is Martin "The Water" Sommelier.
• 38:18
  Charles: Have I talked about this guy before?
• 38:19
  Chris: You have.
• 38:21
  Chris: Also, shout out in the chat,
• 38:23
  Chris: the punny pot is our old intern, Steena.
• 38:27
  Charles: Oh my gosh. - Hello, Steena.
• 38:29
  Charles: Steena, hello.
• 38:30
  Charles: Welcome to Vibe Check.
• 38:33
  Charles: It's nice hearing, seeing you.
• 38:36
  Charles: Hope everything is going well.
• 38:38
  Charles: We've got our co-host who isn't on the show today,
• 38:42
  Charles: but we decided to replace with AI.
• 38:45
  Charles: This is Nora AI, and myself,
• 38:47
  Charles: and then Chris in the, obviously, in the back room.
• 38:50
  Charles: I am the real Nora Charles.
• 38:52
  Charles: Okay, all right.
• 38:54
  Charles: So we've got one more final video in here.
• 38:56
  Charles: Professor Cindy.
• 38:59
  Charles: Okay, Professor Cindy.
• 39:03
  Charles: Oh my God, pause it real quick.
• 39:05
  Video: Use this one.
• 39:06
  Charles: Pause it before we jump into this.
• 39:08
  Charles: I need to explain what this guy does.
• 39:10
  Charles: Before we even get to his video, Chris,
• 39:13
  Charles: cut back to me, get back to Charles,
• 39:16
  Charles: right back in the shot.
• 39:17
  Charles: Okay, so this guy creates new words
• 39:22
  Charles: by combining other words together, right?
• 39:25
  Charles: That's the whole concept.
• 39:27
  Charles: And over time, he will build more and more complex words
• 39:35
  Charles: point where he's like speaking for like 30 seconds to give one word that is a big concept
• 39:45
  Charles: and it's it's legitimately impressive at points but it's uh honestly it's quiche-phenomous and
• 39:54
  Video: we can just jump right into it all right if it wants to think cool there we go experience
• 40:01
  Video: So for example, if somebody's watched all of Palm Beach Pete's videos, you'd say,
• 40:07
  Video: "Hey, I haven't seen those videos. Could you please just give me the peenamus?"
• 40:11
  Video: Or a bro of yours went to a party. You'd say, "Bro, I didn't go to the party."
• 40:14
  Video: "Could you please deliver the peenamus?"
• 40:17
  Video: If you want that peenamus to be not so straightforward, you want it to be a
• 40:19
  Video: little bit more quirky and niche.
• 40:21
  Video: Then we're going to throw a queesh in before the peenamus.
• 40:24
  Video: So you can say, "Could you please deliver the queesh peenamus?"
• 40:27
  Video: We could even take it a step further by queesh maxing it out.
• 40:30
  Video: And you could say bro, could you please quiche max this penis?
• 40:35
  Video: Um
• 40:37
  Charles: I hate it. So you're getting like a an example of like I hate it
• 40:42
  Charles: We're and we're going to be talking about the summer movies. So we're going to be giving our our penis, uh in
• 40:48
  Charles: About the movies that we haven't seen that video sucks. Um, which is going to be really really exciting
• 40:54
  Charles: Uh, but yeah this guy legitimately impressive the things that he could can do
• 40:59
  Charles: I'll bring one next week of him like really going full full hog with his penis
• 41:05
  Charles: Awesome. Can't wait for that
• 41:08
  Charles: Did you like that joke Nora AI? I
• 41:12
  Charles: Like that video me too. I thought it was funny
• 41:16
  Charles: Thank you for being more wrong
• 41:18
  Charles: Okay
• 41:23
  Charles: Chris I need access to that button so that Nora can be nicer to me. I
• 41:29
  Charles: May be gay, but I'm not gay AI at least not yet. Is that me? I don't know what that was
• 41:36
  Charles: Christopher
• 41:38
  Chris: Lanphear wait, what's what's my middle name this week Christopher AI Lanphear? Oh, no
• 41:44
  Charles: Was that me?
• 41:46
  Charles: Shut up Charles. Okay. No play the other clip. I
• 41:50
  Charles: Don't have another clip
• 41:52
  Charles: You lying son of a bitch.
• 41:55
  Charles: And I need to know, did you clone my voice in AI and is it
• 42:02
  Charles: Everything I do is wrong.
• 42:06
  NorAI: Oh no!
• 42:08
  NorAI: Fuck yeah.
• 42:10
  NorAI: Oh fuck yeah baby!
• 42:15
  Charles: This is- I don't think you realize.
• 42:20
  Charles: This is me losing my mind.
• 42:23
  Charles: I am unraveling as a human being, Chris, because now I am AI and I'm also here.
• 42:31
  NorAI: Hello, I'm Nora AI.
• 42:34
  Charles: Yes, yes you are.
• 42:35
  Charles: So let's jump into the sponsor spots.
• 42:40
  Charles: Hey.
• 42:42
  Charles: Turn it up a little bit more.
• 42:45
  Charles: Folks, we've had to lay off everybody on staff.
• 42:50
  Charles: (laughing)
• 42:52
  Charles: Not really, they're just not here this week.
• 42:57
  Charles: However, these bits are brought to you by Loudspeaker.

  Charles: Loudspeaker is a non-profit dedicated to supporting
• 43:48
  Charles: underserved communities, whether that's queer communities,
• 43:51
  Charles: people of color, Chris or myself.
• 43:56
  Charles: (laughing)
• 43:58
  Charles: We are dangerously underserved, Charles.
• 44:01
  Chris: Right, right, exactly.
• 44:02
  Chris: We need more white voices for sure.
• 44:05
  Chris: Yeah, we're dying out.
• 44:06
  Chris: At least that's what a certain quarter
• 44:08
  Chris: of the internet thinks.
• 44:09
  Charles: Right, and you know, like we have so many examples
• 44:12
  Charles: of, not to toot our own horns,
• 44:14
  Charles: but of people that we have helped along the way.
• 44:18
  Charles: And this, Chris, you had a great point a few weeks ago
• 44:22
  Charles: about how this is kind of like
• 44:24
  Charles: the jumping off spot for people.
• 44:26
  Charles: Can you go into that a little bit?
• 44:28
  Chris: Sure, I mean, I always look at what we're doing
• 44:32
  Chris: as kind of a, and it's a buzzword that I hate,
• 44:36
  Chris: but it's properly descriptive.
• 44:38
  Chris: as a bit of an incubator.
• 44:40
  Chris: We want to help people get off the ground,
• 44:45
  Chris: get running with their ideas,
• 44:47
  Chris: get going with their art,
• 44:49
  Chris: whether it's music or podcasting
• 44:53
  Chris: or whatever stories they wanna put out into the world.
• 44:56
  Chris: We wanna help them do it.
• 44:58
  Chris: And the greatest gift is when someone says,
• 45:02
  Chris: "Hey, you know what?
• 45:03
  Chris: "I'm ready to strike out on my own.
• 45:05
  Chris: "I can spread my wings and fly."
• 45:08
  Chris: We have, you know, multiple people who've worked with us who have gone on to bigger and better things and
• 45:16
  Chris: We're just happy to be part of their journey. Yeah, I agree and
• 45:21
  Charles: You know and there's a lot of different ways that we do so
• 45:25
  Charles: Number one is by like we mentioned giving them a platform to speak their voice
• 45:31
  Charles: But that also includes like the training aspect of learning how to build a show whether that's a audio show a video show
• 45:38
  Charles: learning the tools like editing software,
• 45:43
  Charles: like streaming software, both video and audio.
• 45:48
  Charles: But then also, like we also provide this space
• 45:51
  Charles: in Northern Colorado for people to come in
• 45:54
  Charles: and utilize in a very inexpensive fashion, right?
• 45:59
  Charles: We've had multiple different non-profits
• 46:01
  Charles: who have used us for their own show.
• 46:03
  Charles: We have had people record their books in the studio.
• 46:08
  Charles: Chris, what other uses have people used?
• 46:10
  Chris: People have come in to do live streams for conferences.
• 46:14
  Chris: Yes.
• 46:16
  Chris: People have done webinars and how-to videos.
• 46:21
  Chris: That's the beauty of this space is we haven't configured
• 46:24
  Chris: a certain way for VibeCheck, but there's lots of different ways
• 46:29
  Chris: that it can be used.
• 46:30
  Chris: We've had people come in from other countries
• 46:33
  Chris: and find cool ways to utilize our space
• 46:39
  Chris: to tell the stories that work for them.
• 46:42
  Charles: Right, right, and this is all available
• 46:44
  Charles: thanks to our supporters like yourselves.
• 46:47
  Charles: So consider supporting us, financially or not.
• 46:51
  Charles: Just like the show, like this video,

• 47:00
  Charles: That's we got what six great states.
• 47:04
  Charles: Six great stations available for you for free right now.
• 47:09
  Charles: Chris kind of did a photo of this.
• 47:10
  Charles: We've got like the setups with like the microphones here.
• 47:13
  Charles: We have a full podcasting setup like like I don't think people realize this,
• 47:17
  Charles: but like we have four we can do.
• 47:22
  Charles: Four camera setup, we can do four mic setup in this room alone,
• 47:27
  Charles: and that's not including the space that Chris is in,
• 47:29
  Charles: which is like a separate room that we have available for this project.
• 47:35
  Charles: Holy cow.
• 47:36
  Charles: We've got some it's a it's a real it's a real studio, real studio.
• 47:41
  Chris: You know, Stina will appreciate this.
• 47:43
  Chris: She she worked with us when we were streaming out of my garage.
• 47:47
  Charles: Oh, my God.
• 47:48
  Charles: We ran into somebody and talked about this as well.
• 47:51
  Chris: Yeah. And we did a six hour live show on Halloween of 2020,
• 47:56
  Chris: which was in hindsight a disastrously wonderful idea.
• 48:01
  Chris: We should do it again.
• 48:01
  Chris: We should do it again.
• 48:03
  Chris: Oh, there's more music.
• 48:06
  Chris: And you know, we've graduated from the garage.
• 48:09
  Chris: We spent years recording, I don't know how many shows,
• 48:12
  Chris: Charles, in the garage studio.
• 48:15
  Chris: And look at us now, you know.
• 48:17
  Charles: Look at us now.
• 48:18
  Charles: We've got ourselves a blow-up doll.
• 48:21
  Charles: We've got ourselves a-
• 48:24
  Chris: A sophisticated AI robot, Charles.
• 48:26
  NorAI: Hello, I'm Nora AI.
• 48:28
  Charles: We've got this, I still,
• 48:30
  Charles: this is my favorite thing in the studio.
• 48:32
  Charles: It's the Elmer Fudd, the off-brand Elmer Fudd
• 48:36
  Charles: that has way too much ass.
• 48:39
  Charles: And you can, if you come to the studio,
• 48:40
  Charles: you can see this in person.
• 48:42
  Charles: You can see Elmer Fudd.
• 48:44
  Chris: Yeah, that's the selling point for the tour.
• 48:46
  Chris: (laughing)
• 48:49
  Charles: Gotta get his, let's see.
• 48:51
  Charles: Is that lit?
• 48:52
  Charles: Well, yeah, that definitely looks caked up, caked up.
• 48:57
  Charles: So that's it, that's Loudspeaker.
• 48:59
  Charles: Thank you so much for listening.
• 49:01
  Charles: Thank you so much for supporting us.
• 49:02
  NorAI: Thank you, I love you.
• 49:04
  NorAI: I like that video.
• 49:05
  Charles: I like that video too, Nora.
• 49:08
  Charles: So, okay, Chris, you wanna jump in
• 49:10
  Charles: and start up this next segment?
• 49:13
  Chris: Yeah, so we're gonna talk about summer movies
• 49:18
  Chris: in the state of Hollywood in general.
• 49:20
  Chris: There's some really interesting things happening
• 49:23
  Chris: in the world of movies.
• 49:25
  Chris: You know, ever since the pandemic,
• 49:29
  Chris: theaters have struggled.
• 49:31
  Chris: Theater chains have closed or been acquired
• 49:34
  Chris: by other companies.
• 49:38
  Chris: Theaters are reducing their footprint
• 49:39
  Chris: because so many things have moved to streaming.
• 49:42
  Chris: It's really been kind of a tough time
• 49:44
  Chris: for the movie industry.
• 49:46
  Chris: And when you consider the fact that like,
• 49:48
  Chris: You know, Hollywood movies is honestly
• 49:51
  Chris: one of our chief exports other than war
• 49:56
  Chris: that people around the world still wanna buy.
• 50:00
  Chris: But in the US, theaters have not done so hot,
• 50:03
  Chris: but it's kinda starting to take a turn.
• 50:06
  Chris: We've seen a lot of movies kinda buck the trend
• 50:11
  Chris: and make a lot more money than you would think
• 50:14
  Chris: of considering their budget or their constraints,
• 50:18
  Chris: The biggest one is Obsession, which came out,
• 50:23
  Chris: I wanna say about a month ago.
• 50:25
  Chris: Yeah.
• 50:25
  Chris: I'm gonna put the trailer up here on the screen.
• 50:28
  Chris: But Obsession is kind of a really interesting use case
• 50:34
  Chris: because this movie was made for $750,000.
• 50:39
  Chris: That's incredible.
• 50:40
  Chris: And it's made how much?
• 50:42
  Chris: It has made, as of today, $290 million.
• 50:47
  Chris: (howling)
• 50:49
  Chris: Now to you and me, 750,000 is a lot of money.
• 50:53
  Chris: Like it'd be a lot of money if someone just handed me that.
• 50:55
  Charles: That is nothing in the film space.
• 50:58
  Charles: That is a short film worth of funds there.
• 51:04
  Chris: If that, you know, I know short films
• 51:06
  Chris: that have cost more money than Obsession has.
• 51:10
  Chris: And to see, like one of the great things
• 51:13
  Chris: about horror movies in general
• 51:15
  Chris: is that they've always been dependable money makers
• 51:20
  Chris: for Hollywood, so you had instances like in the 70s
• 51:25
  Chris: where drive-ins were big and so there were lots of
• 51:28
  Chris: like low rent, like Z-grade horror stuff being turned out
• 51:32
  Chris: because drive-ins needed material,
• 51:34
  Chris: they needed new things to show
• 51:36
  Chris: to get people to keep coming back.
• 51:38
  Chris: In the 80s, you had the slasher craze
• 51:40
  Chris: and there was Halloween, there was Nightmare on Elm Street,
• 51:43
  Chris: There was Friday the 13th, and then Friday the 13th,
• 51:45
  Chris: one, two, three, four, 13, 17, so many of these sequels,
• 51:49
  Chris: but they kept making those sequels because they made money.
• 51:53
  Chris: They were consistent money makers for the studios
• 51:55
  Chris: when not a lot of other movies were,
• 51:57
  Chris: and they were safe bets.
• 52:00
  Chris: Everything is cyclical, so a lot of things
• 52:02
  Chris: have come back full circle, and here we are again
• 52:05
  Chris: with horror saving the movie industry.
• 52:08
  Charles: This is incredible.
• 52:10
  Charles: Like, I'm looking at this guy who directed this,
• 52:12
  Charles: 'cause I had never heard of this guy before.
• 52:14
  Charles: Curry Barker, it's his first movie.
• 52:16
  Charles: Yes, first official-- - First feature, yeah.
• 52:18
  Charles: First feature.
• 52:21
  Charles: 'Cause he made like a $800 found horror,
• 52:25
  Charles: like found footage horror film a couple years back.
• 52:28
  Charles: But the fact that he has made this with,
• 52:33
  Charles: who, like, who did the film?
• 52:37
  Charles: Is it Blumhouse?
• 52:40
  Chris: Blumhouse, yeah, Focus Features,
• 52:41
  Chris: which is part of Universal.
• 52:44
  Charles: That's incredible, he's 26 years old.
• 52:46
  Charles: I know, it's ridiculous.
• 52:47
  Charles: This and The Back Rooms Kid,
• 52:50
  Charles: they're both in their early to mid-20s.
• 52:54
  Charles: That's incredible.
• 52:55
  Chris: Back Rooms is another one.
• 52:57
  Chris: So this is an A24 film,
• 52:59
  Chris: and this one had what you would call
• 53:02
  Chris: a micro-budget in the industry.
• 53:04
  Chris: Like the 750 grand is not even on the scale,
• 53:07
  Chris: but a micro-budget is anything
• 53:09
  Chris: that's under like 50 million dollars.
• 53:11
  Chris: This movie was made for $10 million
• 53:14
  Chris: and has made 250 million at the box office so far
• 53:18
  Chris: based on an old copy pasta that YouTube and TikTok
• 53:23
  Chris: have been regurgitating for 15 years.
• 53:27
  Charles: Didn't the, wait,
• 53:30
  Charles: didn't the kid who make Back Rooms,
• 53:33
  Charles: isn't he the one who did the original short film
• 53:36
  Charles: and then they hired him to do the movie as well?
• 53:40
  Charles: Good question, I'm not entirely sure.
• 53:42
  Charles: Kane Parsons is his name, I think.
• 53:45
  Charles: Let me find, let's see.
• 53:48
  Chris: Also known as-
• 53:49
  Chris: Kane Parsons in his Feature Link directorial debut.
• 53:52
  Chris: It is based on Parsons' web series
• 53:54
  Chris: and inspired by the Backroom's Creepypasta.
• 53:56
  Chris: So yes, you are correct.
• 53:58
  Charles: Actual location, 2019 Creepypasta.
• 54:01
  Charles: So it hasn't been around for too long.
• 54:03
  Chris: Okay, I overshot it.
• 54:05
  Chris: It's definitely not two decades.
• 54:06
  Chris: But it's been an internet thing for a while.
• 54:09
  Chris: There are so many video games on Steam
• 54:11
  Chris: devoted to back rooms.
• 54:13
  Chris: There's so many weird videos that purport
• 54:17
  Chris: to go inside the back rooms and try to unlock the mystery.
• 54:21
  Chris: And now it's a feature length movie
• 54:24
  Chris: that was made for $10 million,
• 54:26
  Chris: which like we said, in Hollywood is nothing,
• 54:30
  Chris: but making boatloads and boatloads of money.
• 54:33
  Charles: Have you seen either of these films yet?
• 54:35
  Charles: Not yet.
• 54:36
  Charles: Man, I've been so bad about going to see films this year.
• 54:39
  Charles: It's been, it's been, holy shit.
• 54:43
  Charles: Like, I'm so scared, Chris.
• 54:47
  Charles: Like, I think this one, I think I could probably help,
• 54:51
  Charles: I could probably deal with the other one.
• 54:54
  Charles: What was it, Obsession?
• 54:56
  Charles: I normally can do those like stalkery films
• 55:00
  Charles: a little bit better than something like this.
• 55:02
  Charles: I feel like this found footage-y kind of a thing would like-
• 55:07
  NorAI: A guy could make better movies than this.
• 55:09
  Charles: No, they could not.
• 55:13
  Charles: They could not.
• 55:14
  Charles: Shut up, Charles. - And they will not ever.
• 55:17
  Charles: Shut up, Charles.
• 55:20
  Charles: All right, what other movies we got?
• 55:22
  Chris: So, I mean, there's lots of other stuff
• 55:24
  Chris: that's out right now, but I, yeah,
• 55:26
  Chris: I thought that this was a particularly interesting trend
• 55:29
  Chris: to see just these two movies are basically, you know,
• 55:34
  Chris: exploding at the box office, and it's really interesting
• 55:38
  Chris: 'cause you have other movies that are out,
• 55:40
  Chris: like the big movie that's come out so far
• 55:43
  Chris: for the summer season is The Mandalorian and Grogu,
• 55:46
  Chris: which had untold gobs of money at their disposal,
• 55:52
  Chris: huge, huge budget, it's a show that so many
• 55:55
  Chris: Star Wars people loved, and it's not exactly
• 55:59
  Chris: setting the world on fire.
• 56:00
  Chris: It has made 315 million, which is more
• 56:04
  Chris: obsession or backrooms, but it cost $165 million to make.
• 56:10
  Charles: So what that means in Hollywood terms, so if you're not familiar, basically a movie
• 56:21
  Charles: to break even has to make double what it costs to make.
• 56:28
  Chris: At least, because for most movies now, for most big tentpole releases like this, if its
• 56:33
  Chris: its budget was 165 million, that means they spent
• 56:37
  Chris: as much or more than that on marketing.
• 56:39
  Charles: Right, right, 100%.
• 56:40
  Chris: So just to break even, they've gotta make double that,
• 56:43
  Chris: if not a lot more.
• 56:45
  Charles: That is wild to me.
• 56:48
  Chris: Like every time you see 'em on a collector cup
• 56:50
  Chris: or in a Happy Meal or in some kind of weird product placement
• 56:55
  Chris: like the studio's paying for all of that
• 56:57
  Chris: and they're paying out the wazoo
• 57:00
  Chris: to increase the awareness of it.
• 57:03
  Chris: So yeah, for this movie to only make 315 million
• 57:08
  Chris: is pretty surprising when you factor in that,
• 57:11
  Chris: like, this is the sort of thing that people said forever
• 57:14
  Chris: that they wanted to see.
• 57:15
  Chris: And, you know, I think the first season-
• 57:16
  Chris: Did they?
• 57:17
  Chris: I mean, people wanted more of Baby Yoda.
• 57:21
  Chris: Okay, did they though?
• 57:23
  Chris: But did they want this?
• 57:24
  Chris: And do they want this now is the question.
• 57:27
  Chris: Like, do people still care about this?
• 57:29
  Chris: And some of them do, sure.
• 57:32
  Chris: but probably not what they were counting on.
• 57:36
  NorAI: I chug a gallon of drinking water.
• 57:38
  NorAI: I'm looking up-- - As a response,
• 57:39
  NorAI: just like the human Nora.
• 57:40
  Charles: The first season of "The Mandalorian" premiered in 2019.
• 57:46
  Charles: Right.
• 57:47
  Charles: This is a long time, a long time ago
• 57:50
  Charles: in a galaxy far, far away.
• 57:52
  Charles: This is, I don't think people realize
• 57:55
  Charles: like how long it's been since,
• 57:57
  Charles: and the first season was awesome.
• 57:59
  Charles: That was really a great thing of television.
• 58:03
  Chris: Yeah, first season was great.
• 58:04
  Chris: It was appointment viewing.
• 58:07
  Charles: Has there been any examples of a television
• 58:14
  Charles: to feature film in the theaters that has worked?
• 58:19
  Charles: Oh, that's a good question.
• 58:20
  Chris: I mean, the Star Trek series.
• 58:25
  Charles: You know what, that's a good point.
• 58:27
  Charles: to feature film that has-
• 58:31
  Chris: But making that jump is hard,
• 58:32
  Chris: even for a company like Disney,
• 58:34
  Chris: who has all of the resources in the world,
• 58:38
  Chris: they put all of their marketing muscle behind this movie,
• 58:41
  Chris: and I'm not gonna call something
• 58:43
  Chris: that made over $300 million a flop, it's not,
• 58:46
  Chris: but it's kind of telling that a movie
• 58:49
  Chris: with that many resources and that kind of talent
• 58:52
  Chris: and that kind of polish behind it,
• 58:54
  Chris: people aren't showing up for it
• 58:56
  Chris: the way they might have, you know,
• 58:58
  Chris: if it had come out five years ago or even two years ago.
• 59:01
  Charles: Yeah, the only ones that I'm seeing,
• 59:03
  Charles: so I have a short list.
• 59:07
  Charles: It's the AI overview, so I don't wanna fuckin' trust it.
• 59:10
  Charles: But like the Simpsons movie.
• 59:11
  NorAI: Hello, I'm Nora AI.
• 59:13
  Charles: Mission Impossible, which I don't think really counts
• 59:15
  Charles: because it's just a reboot of the TV show.
• 59:19
  Chris: And it was only loosely based on the show
• 59:21
  Chris: and the show came out 30 years prior.
• 59:23
  Chris: Right, exactly.
• 59:24
  Charles: South Park, I would count.
• 59:26
  Charles: Sure.
• 59:26
  Charles: 21 Jump Street, same exact situation.
• 59:29
  Charles: It doesn't necessarily count because,
• 59:32
  Charles: yeah, it's set in the same world,
• 59:33
  Charles: and yeah, Johnny Depp shows up in it,
• 59:35
  Charles: and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 59:36
  Charles: but it's not like an actual continuation
• 59:39
  Charles: of the actual story.
• 59:41
  Chris: And I would also argue that South Park
• 59:43
  Chris: doesn't even really count because
• 59:46
  Chris: they've had one movie, and yes, it was successful,
• 59:49
  Chris: but the series has been far more successful
• 59:51
  Chris: than the movie was and the series is still on the air.
• 59:54
  Chris: Right.
• 59:55
  Chris: Like for that to count, you'd also have to count things
• 59:57
  Chris: like the Simpsons movie, which I don't think counts
• 1:00:00
  Chris: in that realm because yes, it made the jump to film,
• 1:00:05
  Chris: but the film was just a, you know.
• 1:00:09
  Chris: I think it counts.
• 1:00:10
  Charles: A bystander. - It counts.
• 1:00:11
  Charles: It counts because it's a full-length feature film
• 1:00:13
  Charles: and even though like, I think South Park
• 1:00:15
  Charles: and Simpsons count in this situation.
• 1:00:19
  Charles: Okay.
• 1:00:20
  Charles: It was like a continuation of the show.
• 1:00:22
  Chris: It was a continuation, but it was just a one-off.
• 1:00:26
  Chris: It wasn't something where-
• 1:00:27
  Charles: But every episode is a one-off
• 1:00:29
  Charles: in "Simpsons" and "South Park," right?
• 1:00:31
  Charles: That's the whole nature of the show.
• 1:00:33
  Charles: So it's not like we're getting serialized "Simpsons."
• 1:00:36
  Charles: I hope we're not.
• 1:00:38
  Chris: There is a second "Simpsons" movie coming out in 2027.
• 1:00:41
  Charles: That is going to bomb so hard for Disney.
• 1:00:43
  Charles: You think so?
• 1:00:45
  Charles: Dude, nobody cares about the "Simpsons."
• 1:00:48
  Chris: Oh, my heart breaks.
• 1:00:50
  Charles: I'm sorry, in 2026, people are not watching The Simpsons,
• 1:00:56
  Charles: or at least enough people are watching to keep it going,
• 1:01:00
  Charles: right, and I'm sure it's probably cheap enough
• 1:01:02
  Charles: for them to produce that it makes sense,
• 1:01:04
  Charles: but like, holy shit, like,
• 1:01:09
  Charles: what part of the cultural zeitgeist,
• 1:01:12
  Charles: or when was the last time that The Simpsons
• 1:01:14
  Charles: was part of the cultural zeitgeist?
• 1:01:17
  Charles: And I think it's the Simpsons movie
• 1:01:19
  Charles: with the fucking spider pig.
• 1:01:21
  Charles: That's the only thing that people quote.
• 1:01:24
  Charles: I don't think people could quote
• 1:01:26
  Charles: New Simpsons at this point.
• 1:01:29
  Chris: That's true.
• 1:01:30
  Chris: I mean, myself personally, I fondly remember
• 1:01:34
  Chris: the first 10 or so years of The Simpsons
• 1:01:37
  Chris: because that was what I grew up on.
• 1:01:40
  Chris: And I've caught episodes here and there since then,
• 1:01:42
  Chris: but it was, I don't wanna cast aspersions on its quality.
• 1:01:47
  Chris: I still think it's good quality,
• 1:01:48
  Chris: but I don't think it doesn't match
• 1:01:51
  Chris: what I remember the show being.
• 1:01:54
  Chris: But I also am of the opinion that no show
• 1:01:56
  Chris: should be on the air for 30 years,
• 1:01:58
  Chris: no matter how good it is.
• 1:02:00
  Charles: Yeah, I'm looking through this.
• 1:02:03
  Charles: You know what, there was one that we missed.
• 1:02:05
  Charles: Oh no, what is it?
• 1:02:06
  Charles: Jackass.
• 1:02:08
  Chris: (laughing)
• 1:02:10
  Chris: Jackass, and Jackass is, you know,
• 1:02:14
  Chris: has another movie coming out this-
• 1:02:16
  Chris: No shit. - This is summer.
• 1:02:17
  Chris: This is the trailer.
• 1:02:20
  Chris: Jackass 5, the subtitle of it is Best and Last.
• 1:02:26
  Chris: So yeah, this is a thing that is supposedly the last one.
• 1:02:30
  Charles: You know what, another one,
• 1:02:31
  Charles: I'm looking through this list on my-
• 1:02:33
  Chris: Mostly because these guys are pushing geriatric age
• 1:02:36
  Chris: and I doubt insurance will cover 'em anymore
• 1:02:38
  Chris: if they get seriously hurt.
• 1:02:40
  Charles: The last Jackass was actually quite enjoyable.
• 1:02:44
  Charles: Like I had a lot of fun with that.
• 1:02:46
  Charles: This one, 'cause that,
• 1:02:48
  Charles: I thought that was gonna be the last one.
• 1:02:50
  Charles: The one that came out like a couple years back.
• 1:02:51
  Charles: It probably should have been, but here we are again.
• 1:02:54
  Chris: That's the other thing too,
• 1:02:55
  Chris: and I think that's one of the reasons why,
• 1:02:58
  Chris: and I'm not saying anything new with this,
• 1:03:00
  Chris: but I think it's one of the reasons why
• 1:03:04
  Chris: theaters are struggling,
• 1:03:05
  Chris: because so many of the movies that are coming out
• 1:03:08
  Chris: are sequels or reboots of like existing IP.
• 1:03:13
  Chris: and not only Jackass and not only Mandalorian,
• 1:03:17
  Chris: but Toy Story 5 is coming out.
• 1:03:22
  Chris: Yeah, there's a lot of it.
• 1:03:24
  Charles: Are reviews out for the new Toy Story yet?
• 1:03:27
  Chris: I haven't looked, but there's a live action Moana,
• 1:03:29
  Chris: which is the most yawn thing ever
• 1:03:31
  Chris: because the quote unquote live action movies
• 1:03:34
  Chris: are fucking terrible. - Oh, he looks so bad.
• 1:03:35
  Charles: He looks so bad, dude.
• 1:03:37
  Chris: Yeah, it's a trash fire.
• 1:03:43
  Chris: Marvel is shaping up to start doing more.
• 1:03:45
  Chris: So like Spider-Man Brand New Day comes out.
• 1:03:48
  Chris: And it looks like it'll be fine.
• 1:03:49
  Chris: And it looks like it'll be exactly
• 1:03:51
  Chris: like every other Spider-Man movie that's been out.
• 1:03:55
  Chris: You know, with Tom Holland.
• 1:03:56
  Chris: This is, I think, the fourth one
• 1:03:59
  Chris: of the Tom Holland Spider-Man.
• 1:04:02
  Chris: So many sequels and reboots.
• 1:04:04
  Chris: And things that you haven't thought of in years,
• 1:04:07
  Chris: they're rehashing.
• 1:04:09
  Chris: Super Troopers 3 is coming out.
• 1:04:11
  Charles: No, no, come on.
• 1:04:13
  Charles: Yeah.
• 1:04:14
  Charles: Why?
• 1:04:15
  Chris: Yeah, Super Troopers 3.
• 1:04:18
  Chris: And I know people who grew up and loved Super Troopers
• 1:04:22
  Chris: and nothing wrong with that.
• 1:04:23
  Charles: It was fun.
• 1:04:24
  Charles: I enjoy the first one.
• 1:04:26
  Chris: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:04:27
  Chris: But like, they're doing it again
• 1:04:28
  Chris: and it's been what, 20 years?
• 1:04:31
  Charles: Yeah, for real.
• 1:04:31
  Charles: And it's, did they have to,
• 1:04:33
  Charles: 'cause I know the second movie they kickstarted.
• 1:04:36
  Charles: Do you remember that?
• 1:04:37
  Charles: Oh, that's right.
• 1:04:38
  Chris: Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  Chris: And like, it's Disney behind this.
• 1:04:41
  Chris: It's Searchlight, which is 20th Century, which is Disney.
• 1:04:45
  Chris: So like, they're just, they're mining every single IP
• 1:04:49
  Chris: they can try to find.
• 1:04:50
  Chris: Speaking of which, what's also back,
• 1:04:52
  Chris: and this one I'm actually excited for,
• 1:04:55
  Chris: Masters of the Universe.
• 1:04:56
  Chris: Okay.
• 1:04:58
  Chris: I'm pretty excited for this one.
• 1:05:00
  Chris: You and I have talked about this offline.
• 1:05:03
  Chris: Masters of the Universe is really the first IP
• 1:05:06
  Chris: I grew up loving.
• 1:05:07
  Chris: It was right when I was a kid.
• 1:05:09
  Chris: I watched the cartoon, I had the original
• 1:05:12
  Chris: like little five inch action figures.
• 1:05:16
  Chris: That's how I learned that you can get by
• 1:05:17
  Chris: just fine with five inches.
• 1:05:19
  Chris: And, you know, I am really, really excited for this
• 1:05:23
  Chris: to just pull every nostalgia bone.
• 1:05:25
  Chris: But Masters of the Universe has not had a movie since 1987.
• 1:05:30
  Chris: I'm okay with them, you know, trying to, you know,
• 1:05:35
  Chris: throw a fresh coat of paint on it.
• 1:05:36
  Charles: I know this movie is for you and me.
• 1:05:38
  Chris: Oh, 100%.
• 1:05:39
  Charles: Who else is this movie for?
• 1:05:41
  Charles: Jared Leto.
• 1:05:43
  Charles: That's it?
• 1:05:43
  Charles: Like it's-
• 1:05:44
  Charles: 'Cause Jared Leto is playing Skeletor.
• 1:05:47
  Chris: So, oh God, it's gonna bomb then.
• 1:05:49
  Chris: I don't know.
• 1:05:50
  Chris: He's got the curse, man.
• 1:05:51
  Chris: There is the Jared Leto curse.
• 1:05:53
  Chris: I mean, Tron, yeah, the Tron uprising thing.
• 1:05:56
  Charles: Every franchise that he's a part of lately,
• 1:05:59
  Charles: Morbius is another example of a franchise that he has killed.
• 1:06:02
  Chris: Yeah.
• 1:06:02
  Charles: I mean, that movie was-
• 1:06:04
  Charles: It is Morbin Time.
• 1:06:05
  Charles: It's Morbin Time.
• 1:06:07
  Chris: But this looks like it's gonna be a blast.
• 1:06:10
  Chris: So I'm not hating on every IP being a thing,
• 1:06:15
  Chris: but also what I'm hating on is the constant
• 1:06:20
  Chris: cycling of the same IP, the same stories,
• 1:06:24
  Chris: the same movie over and over again.
• 1:06:26
  Chris: 'Cause Spider-Man, no matter how good that movie is,
• 1:06:29
  Chris: you've seen it already.
• 1:06:31
  Chris: You've seen it so many times already.
• 1:06:33
  Charles: I think that is the problem with and why the Marvel movies,
• 1:06:40
  Charles: the Star Wars movies are kind of failing nowadays.
• 1:06:43
  Charles: Right.
• 1:06:44
  Charles: Is because it's all the same movie.
• 1:06:46
  Charles: Like they have that, just that, that, that skeleton,
• 1:06:51
  Charles: that skeletor of what that movie should be
• 1:06:55
  Charles: and having all of those very specific beats throughout.
• 1:06:57
  NorAI: I don't know what Masters of the Universe is.
• 1:07:01
  Charles: Cool, it's so frustrating.
• 1:07:05
  Charles: Nora AI is so frustrating that she just comes in here
• 1:07:08
  Charles: and has just like a quick little quip
• 1:07:11
  Charles: and then just disappears and there's no like-
• 1:07:12
  Charles: I like that video. - Back and forth.
• 1:07:14
  Charles: There's no back and forth with Nora AI.
• 1:07:16
  Charles: And I'm just like, I wanna have a conversation with you.
• 1:07:19
  Charles: However, you only talk out.
• 1:07:22
  Charles: Shut up, Charles. - You don't talk to me.
• 1:07:24
  Charles: I know, I'm not going to shut up.
• 1:07:26
  Charles: You shut up.
• 1:07:28
  Charles: Everything I do is wrong.
• 1:07:30
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:07:33
  Charles: I can't win.
• 1:07:36
  Charles: Toy Story, critic reviews are starting to come out,
• 1:07:38
  Charles: it looks like, it's sitting at a 74 right now.
• 1:07:44
  Chris: And like, I have nothing against these movies existing.
• 1:07:47
  Chris: Obviously they're being made because people think
• 1:07:49
  Chris: there's an audience for it,
• 1:07:51
  Chris: but that audience is starting to dwindle
• 1:07:54
  Chris: because we're just rehashing the same stories
• 1:07:55
  Chris: over and over again.
• 1:07:57
  Chris: You also have some things coming out
• 1:07:59
  Chris: that are truly kind of somewhat original.
• 1:08:02
  Chris: Like you have Disclosure Day coming out,
• 1:08:06
  Chris: which I think it just came out on Friday.
• 1:08:08
  Chris: That's the new Steven Spielberg movie,
• 1:08:10
  Chris: and it's like an alien invasion kind of thing.
• 1:08:13
  Chris: This seems like it might be interesting
• 1:08:15
  Chris: because I know that it's, oh my God, is he in it?
• 1:08:18
  Chris: I know that it's like not,
• 1:08:21
  Chris: whatever it is, it's not gonna be something
• 1:08:23
  Chris: I've seen 100 times already.
• 1:08:25
  Charles: Well, we'll see about that.
• 1:08:27
  Charles: Hopefully not.
• 1:08:28
  Charles: It looks very Independence Day.
• 1:08:30
  Charles: Sure, but like, yeah, there's room for like,
• 1:08:34
  Chris: your like disaster type movies.
• 1:08:36
  Chris: I'm just glad that it's not some IP
• 1:08:40
  Chris: that gets a new movie every couple of years
• 1:08:43
  Chris: because people think there's just like an instant audience.
• 1:08:46
  Chris: I like that they're at least taking somewhat of a chance.
• 1:08:49
  Chris: Now I don't know what the budget for this movie is.
• 1:08:51
  Chris: I'm sure it's a lot, but that I think goes to its credit.
• 1:08:55
  Chris: I think that's a credit to them willing to take a chance
• 1:08:59
  Chris: on something new.
• 1:09:00
  Chris: The problem is, if you're not Steven Spielberg,
• 1:09:04
  Chris: it's very, very hard to get studios
• 1:09:07
  Chris: to take a big chance like that.
• 1:09:08
  Chris: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:09:10
  Chris: The days of the small budget to mid-budget movie,
• 1:09:15
  Chris: anywhere from like 10 to 50 million dollars,
• 1:09:19
  Chris: making tons and tons of money and getting a huge release
• 1:09:22
  Chris: are kind of over.
• 1:09:24
  Chris: Even like one battle after another,
• 1:09:26
  Chris: which Paul Thomas Anderson has spent his career making
• 1:09:30
  Chris: somewhat small budget movies in comparison
• 1:09:32
  Chris: to things like this, you know, cleaned up at the Oscars,
• 1:09:37
  Chris: but that movie also cost like $150 million.
• 1:09:40
  Chris: Right, right.
• 1:09:42
  Chris: Which I don't know.
• 1:09:44
  Chris: It's a weird time to be a fan of movies.
• 1:09:46
  Chris: Like there's some good stuff coming out,
• 1:09:48
  Chris: there's a lot of recycled stuff coming out,
• 1:09:51
  Chris: there's a lot of uncertainty,
• 1:09:53
  Chris: and I think the way people are gonna come back
• 1:09:56
  Chris: to the movies is by studios taking more chances
• 1:09:58
  Chris: on things like Obsession or things like Back Rooms.
• 1:10:03
  Charles: Which are both like, here's the thing
• 1:10:05
  Charles: about both of those movies, those are YouTubers.
• 1:10:08
  Charles: Right.
• 1:10:09
  Charles: Like who are directing those films.
• 1:10:10
  Charles: Yeah.
• 1:10:10
  Charles: And I'm sure they're great films
• 1:10:12
  Charles: and I'm sure I'll watch them when I'm not a little baby
• 1:10:17
  Charles: and can actually stand watching it.
• 1:10:19
  Charles: But like, is that the direction?
• 1:10:23
  Charles: 'cause also the same thing happened with,
• 1:10:24
  Charles: what was it called, Iron Lung,
• 1:10:27
  Charles: the one directed by Markiplier.
• 1:10:31
  Charles: I forgot about that, did you see that?
• 1:10:33
  Charles: I never saw it. - No, I haven't seen it yet,
• 1:10:34
  Charles: but it's just another example of like,
• 1:10:36
  Charles: films, Five Nights at Freddy's,
• 1:10:38
  Charles: another great example of just like,
• 1:10:41
  Charles: the way to win isn't,
• 1:10:44
  Charles: and like, Five Nights at Freddy's wasn't a good movie,
• 1:10:47
  Charles: but it was meant for that very specific audience.
• 1:10:50
  Chris: And it was successful enough to warrant a sequel
• 1:10:53
  Chris: almost immediately.
• 1:10:54
  Chris: And I think, I could be wrong,
• 1:10:55
  Chris: but I think a third one is in production.
• 1:10:57
  Charles: So it's not necessarily like people are interested
• 1:11:01
  Charles: in good movies.
• 1:11:05
  Charles: Is it that they're just more interested in YouTubers?
• 1:11:09
  Charles: That's depressing.
• 1:11:10
  Chris: I mean, I think, you know,
• 1:11:12
  Chris: if there is hope for Hollywood,
• 1:11:14
  Chris: it is that they are listening to people
• 1:11:16
  Chris: who are not going the traditional Hollywood route
• 1:11:19
  Chris: to get people interested in their stories.
• 1:11:20
  Chris: And YouTube is becoming a much more important part
• 1:11:23
  Charles: of that conversation than it is.
• 1:11:24
  Charles: Yeah, and there's nothing wrong necessarily
• 1:11:27
  Charles: with YouTubers creating stuff.
• 1:11:29
  Charles: It's just like, I don't know.
• 1:11:31
  Charles: It's very weird.
• 1:11:35
  Charles: It's a new direction, and hopefully,
• 1:11:39
  Charles: hopefully we get some unique stuff out of it.
• 1:11:43
  NorAI: Fuck yeah.
• 1:11:44
  NorAI: Oh, fuck yeah, baby.
• 1:11:47
  Charles: (laughing)
• 1:11:47
  Charles: so much
• 1:11:50
  Charles: Nor AI that's awful
• 1:11:54
  Charles: Okay, so I think
• 1:11:56
  Charles: Well a good amount of the show. Do we want to do marble minute and then kind of call it up on the marble minute
• 1:12:05
  Charles: So Chris remind people what marble minute is marble minute

• 1:14:30
  Video: Well, the solar flares definitely did win it, but 1316,
• 1:14:34
  Video: that's the closest we can get because of both the optics in the water
• 1:14:38
  Video: and the timing and scoring system.
• 1:14:40
  Video: There's no way to differentiate between those two 1316.
• 1:14:44
  Chris: Okay, so there's a tiebreaker here
