Transcript
- 0:00you know how this laugh track in sitcoms and stuff yeah do you think that people
- 0:04you're going to suggest we have a laugh track for this podcast aren't you you're
- 0:08reading my mind man no no no I'm not thinking anything like that what I'm
- 0:12thinking is do you think people go to a show see the filming laugh and then go
- 0:17back and watch it and then just go that's my laugh and just hate it and
- 0:21then just know that forever that's going to be their laugh I know some shows say
- 0:25they're filmed in front of a live studio audience is that true or do they they
- 0:30add them in or is it a combination of both like say for example Big Bang
- 0:32Theory I've been in live studio audiences I've been in for standup
- 0:36comedy shows no I've been for sitcoms okay I I haven't done that I saw I saw
- 0:41the taping of seven episodes of Hey Dad when I was young did you get molested no
- 0:47but uh chances are I witnessed a
- 0:51molestation Jesus or seven you could be uh subpoena to appear in oh they already
- 0:58figured that out never mind the problem is if they asked me how it
- 1:02was I'm going to have to say well it was
- 1:10hilarious welcome to multiple
- 1:14nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
- 1:18Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
- 1:24Things nerdy but the heard of I've heard of
- 1:30from recording like things like um I think the last episode of The IT Crowd
- 1:35they did they recorded it in front of Life audience but then they had to
- 1:38re-record it cu the audience laughed too much it was just too funny I don't know
- 1:45man I've seen that last episode and I don't know that that was too funny I'm
- 1:48sure we'd have the same problem with this
- 1:53show it's just what I've heard okay and we all know me I could have dreamt it
- 1:58and that's where I heard it possible welcome back Matt we missed you so where
- 2:02have you been Matt uh I've been obviously missed two episodes the first
- 2:07first week I was away I was in Montreal in Canada oh okay it was uh it was our
- 2:11wedding anniversary so we went to Montreal a you mean the anniversary of
- 2:15the time we all uh last saw each other that anniversary yeah exactly yeah yeah
- 2:20yeah so we drove up to Canada uh which was was fun it's a it's a nice nice
- 2:26place Montreal it's like a little uh a little bit like Paris
- 2:31but uh it actually it surprised me everyone there speaks French don't they
- 2:34yeah it surprised me as soon as we got across the border everything was in
- 2:38French like and and I I kind of knew that but it surprised me that it was so
- 2:43very French so quickly like immediately the signs were in French and uh the and
- 2:49jna was chatting with you in English and then as soon as you crossed the border
- 2:53she slipped into French exactly and the uh the the speed limit signs were in
- 2:59kilometers which was refreshing was like a little except that your speedometer
- 3:04was still in Miles no we actually it has both has both oh
- 3:11BMW I did discover and I'm I'm almost certain I discover this every time I go to a
- 3:17non-english speaking country because I've been to I've been to Europe before
- 3:21I've been to Germany and that but it it's tempting and and I guess polite to
- 3:26greet them in their own language except if you go into a restaurant and then
- 3:30they say oh bonjour and you go bonjour and then they just start talking in
- 3:33French and you have to no no no no [ __ ] don't what you're telling me Matt is
- 3:39that your your pronunciation of spoken fluent French and German I might guess
- 3:45is so good yeah people one word of it and they think you're a native
- 3:51speaker I it happened like you go we go into a restaurant and they say oh
- 3:56bonjour and you say bonjour and then they they start talking and I'm like ah
- 3:59do I wait for her to finish or do I interrupt her you know that would happen
- 4:03anyway right because they're just hanging out in their own country
- 4:06speaking their own language course of course and it's my fault it's just I
- 4:10realized but then I feel like a douchebag going in there and being like
- 4:14hello get a yeah no no no you're doing the right a little get a little name tag
- 4:19that says you're a tourist hi I don't speak French accommodate me just wear your America
- 4:25t-shirt yeah even better that you make America great
- 4:30oh don't don't do that no but I find
- 4:35that if you make even a tiny bit of effort they really do appreciate that
- 4:41that said I bet the French don't French Canadians might be different but I I I
- 4:46imagine the French to just be like don't try to speak my language don't don't do
- 4:50it no I think they're even Rudder if you don't even attempt to make that effort
- 4:56at all wow even Rudder yep
- 5:02well I I I found uh driving around Montreal a bit terrifying because it's a
- 5:06very very bike bicycle friendly City in that it seems like the bicycles either
- 5:12have the right of way or think they do and it's it I find it strange just in
- 5:19that that's fine if you have the right of way you know that's that's fine
- 5:21except my car will crush you so please be a little bit careful no no no I'm not
- 5:27not a threat I'm just saying right I'm new here and I don't know where I'm
- 5:32going and you know the car like [ __ ] bikes zipping around me and stuff and
- 5:37it's like I'm going to accidentally kill someone like if I'm not really careful
- 5:41it was very you drive on the correct side in Canada or is it still on theong
- 5:45of the road it depends it's the same as here but it's the wrong side yeah
- 5:49exactly but just it's like a city that it's like new town like small Street
- 5:55except with [ __ ] bikes constantly zipping around you it was very stressful
- 6:01so I we actually parked the car and I said can we just like walk everywhere
- 6:06and mostly we just did that cuz oh man that was was very stressful and then one
- 6:11other thing we were in a bar had a few drinks and then we were like oh you know
- 6:14let's wand off both went to go to the the restroom walked up and uh there were
- 6:18two doors F and H we both just stopped and looked at
- 6:25each other like [ __ ] w I know that now
- 6:31but so we just waited until someone came out and then uh and then went in and yes
- 6:36yeah H is men yes yeah but yeah it was just funny cuz we both went to walk in
- 6:43and stopped and L looked at each other like I don't
- 6:47know you know I saw a film this week by a French Canadian director but I'm sure
- 6:51we'll get to that later in this episode yeah if it's is it the one I'm thinking
- 6:56of yeah yeah it is man okay and then well I did one other thing last weekend
- 7:01I was at New York ComiCon uh which was uh pretty awesome
- 7:06it is definitely the so just to clarify that's the the ComicCon in New York it's
- 7:12not the newest ComiCon that they do in York correct it's the one not the New
- 7:17York ComiCon no no it is I flew to England and I went to yeah MH no no no
- 7:22the the New York New York Comic-Con in I forget the name of the the big
- 7:25Convention Center in in New York uh it was the the most packed I've ever seen a
- 7:32convention and see the sounds horrible to me there was a there was a moment
- 7:39when I was like this is [ __ ] ridiculous like they don't they can't
- 7:43have this many people in here and they had cuz they had there's a guy I think I
- 7:47sent you guys a snap there was a a giant bumblebee cosplay was a guy in a like a
- 7:52massive um hydraulic bumblebee costume from Transformers I mean not not a bee
- 7:58like a bumble actual bumblebee but like Jud Transformers and I seeking the Bumblebee
- 8:03from The Simpsons
- 8:07yep you know I think if you if you were to somehow combine Bumblebee from
- 8:13Transformers and Bumblebee man from The Simpsons you could come up with a pretty awesome
- 8:20cosplay I wasn't even joking that's who I thought you were actually talking
- 8:23about write that down but yes Bumblebee the Transformer and and he was putting
- 8:29on the costume uh which was he had to have assistance to help him get into it
- 8:34and people started crowding around watching and and honestly ground the
- 8:39whole convention to a halt because you couldn't move and they had to security
- 8:44had to come over and they were yelling like move get out of the [ __ ] way
- 8:49like you can't stand here like move I've actually heard of cosplays being asked
- 8:53to leave because there were basically a fire hazard yeah because to many people
- 8:57were watching and just yeah shuts the place down it was
- 9:00ridiculous and there was there was in one moment when there was a uh I got a
- 9:05little notification you know Instagram tells you when someone starts a live
- 9:08video mhm so we were walking around a little bit and it says Mark Hamill has
- 9:13started a live video and we were like oh [ __ ] so I hit play the video and I see
- 9:18Mark Hill walking around like the show floor and then I see above him signs for
- 9:25various booths and I'm like wait a minute and I look up and I see the signs
- 9:29so I was like [ __ ] [ __ ] he's here somewhere so we go we're like running
- 9:32around looking for him and then I see all these other people running around
- 9:34looking frantically and some guy goes where the [ __ ] my Hamel and then uh it

- 14:20now that you're friends you don't have to rush exactly and we have been invited
- 14:25to to the studio to have a look around uh which will do at some point and I was
- 14:30you know if I don't know if you guys can make it over here which I know is
- 14:34difficult we would wait but whatever like if you can't we'll just like he you
- 14:38know what he said uh he goes yeah yeah come down come down um he goes do are
- 14:42you local and we said oh we're up in rhod Island he goes oh well don't just
- 14:45come down for that it's not worth
- 14:49it Bless yeah listen you tell me what day James gun is swinging by and we'll
- 14:55swing by on that [ __ ] day well actually I think he it's right it's just
- 15:00an office no they have um they do film there then they have downstairs is where
- 15:05they they keep all the props and stuff so you can see uh you know like Matt I
- 15:10want you to put on the tutu and hold them up that's what I want all right
- 15:15I'll see what I can do I still have my toxic Crusader figurines yeah mine
- 15:19some wow I've even got like a big like
- 15:24I've got some of the vehicles as well like don't even remember they being
- 15:28vehicles hey guys why why couldn't they call the the toys and the cartoon the
- 15:34Toxic Avenger they had to call it the toxic Crusader I think it was because
- 15:38they wanted to make it a little bit cuz it was for children yeah but why is a
- 15:43crusade more child-friendly than avenging something I just think if if a
- 15:50child was to go into the video s and see their cartoon the Toxic Avenger
- 15:56iate that's what I think let's just let's just get it straight from the
- 16:00horse's mouth at some point and we'll we'll come back we'll come back with an
- 16:04answer on that it can't have anything to do with licensing do you remember that
- 16:09the I don't think it was the theme song for The Toxic Crusader show but it was
- 16:14the theme song for The Toxic Crusader toys commercial and the the log line was
- 16:21The Toxic Crusaders they're gross but they still get girls yeah I remember
- 16:27that yeah it was a simple time to sit down and watch that again I seen I
- 16:33watched it fairly recently uh it is is it is
- 16:3850% great and half to hard to watch yeah toxic
- 16:43Aventure yeah yeah we we we watched it recently as well yeah we actually after
- 16:48we went down and saw the office we watched it like when we were outside
- 16:52trauma it's not very good but it's a cult classic it's not very good but it
- 16:57it is good in in a way
- 17:02yes that should be on the poster yeah oh and he signed uh I got a copy of his
- 17:08book signed by him oh nice oh he's got a book is it the uh everything I learned
- 17:13about film making I learned from is it that one the Toxic Avenger yes yeah nice
- 17:19is that co-written by James gun it is yes should get James gun signature on
- 17:23that yeah actually that's not a bad idea somehow um uh he might maybe he'll be at
- 17:28Rhode Island Comic Con he was at hascon
- 17:31actually uh the con for hasband oh yep he's cuz yeah his career
- 17:38he is not doing well James gone yeah he's just making little indie films at

- 17:58of retail work in a long time then that was stressful that's how you pronounce
- 18:01that tracky mock yeah okay well that's how I pronounce it w probably correct

- 18:14makes stuff out of them so it's all like oneoff unique stuff yeah they're cool
- 18:19check them out at your local convention or follow on inst my local convention uh
- 18:25probably not I oh yeah she's not uh she's not for Australia at any point I

- 18:35Affairs like as and yeah she travels all over with it so she you know does this
- 18:39big ones in San Francisco Australia exactly she was in Colorado a little

- 18:48Australia is putting the offer she's welcome to come here you of Australia
- 18:53now are you yes yes I am nice you'll have to pay her own way look
- 18:58if you're speaking on behalf of Australia would you mind if I segwayed
- 19:01into something that I i' like to get your opinion on sure okay so
- 19:07um as as Australia right you have a uh you have a city called Sydney correct
- 19:14yes yeah okay we're just excluded now cuz we left that's right yeah yeah Luke
- 19:19represents Australia now yeah that's right yeah I mean I was born there but
- 19:22Luke Luke is the official representative of of the city of Sydney as well well I
- 19:27was I only visited for 30
- 19:30years Sydney has a uh iconic uh s shaped building called the Sydney Opera house
- 19:36right yes is that what that's called yeah that's that's the Sydney Opera
- 19:40house uh you may been there a few times you may have heard of it um so it's come
- 19:46out recently and there's a pedestrian article that I'm that I'm looking at
- 19:49here I I I don't even know how to start talking about this but um do you guys
- 19:56know that often uh in in fact very often
- 20:02people try to [ __ ] the Sydney Opera
- 20:06House what uhhuh okay so um look it's an iconic building and people people try to
- 20:13chip little bits off it and keep it it as souvenirs and they try to steal uh
- 20:18tiles from the sales and stuff and they've got a specific task force that
- 20:22goes around to uh to try to prevent uh that from happening right interesting
- 20:28but then there's so this and and I'm quoting here from uh from a source at
- 20:32the C opera house there is also the need to defend the building against the
- 20:36indecent Amorous attention of the occasional two enthusiastic visitor For
- 20:43Whom the concrete crevices are it seems erotically
- 20:47irresistible wow yeah people are putting
- 20:50their dicks right into the crevices of the Sydney Opera house that is odd I saw
- 20:57a documentary once about people who about sexuals yeah there was a woman who
- 21:03was in love with the Empire State Building and they often send they have
- 21:06to send security out to remove her cuz she'll just stand there hugging it and
- 21:10and then and then they they were filming it and then security was like you got to
- 21:13move on you can't stay here and she was like don't worry I'll be back I'll see
- 21:17you later like to the building yeah yeah and yeah mhm mhm people are weird yeah
- 21:24so there's a specific team of security guards at the at the Opera House whose
- 21:31job it is just to make sure that dudes aren't [ __ ]
- 21:36it but what do you do if you come up and some guy is [ __ ] it do you do you let
- 21:42him finish tell training for yeah they must have training for it I mean how do
- 21:48you stop someone from [ __ ] anything they're not supposed to
- 21:52[ __ ] right I mean that's the bigger question here people have been trying
- 21:57for a very long time yeah people people try have sex with
- 22:01lots of weird stuff I guess but do you have to be an objective like are there
- 22:07that many objective sexuals in this world right or is this just a
- 22:11particularly sexy building you know what I mean I mean I've been inside it but I
- 22:17haven't been inside all right rub it
- 22:21in that's what it said yeah I'm just it
- 22:25yeah it can't just be it has to people just doing it for a laugh I for St but
- 22:31but that many why is that a thing why a task force I know and it's like like
- 22:36you're there with your mates on on holiday and it's like oh check this ass
- 22:40it's going to be funny and then all of a sudden they're like Bill what are you
- 22:43doing and he [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] yeah take it all take it all you sexy building yeah I
- 22:49mean look I've been I've been to many places around the world with you two

- 23:56will my brain will register you could put your dick in that if you wanted to
- 24:00well maybe that's the thing you you you've never seen one so you don't know
- 24:04what it's like to just out of the corner your eye just to see a little you know

- 25:24right uh it always comes down to docking yeah it does uh and Ivon didn't know

- 26:09yeah I know I can not a fork in between us Matt you're the only
- 26:17one yeah I am the Highlander the only one who wasn't robbed of the
- 26:23opportunity sorry have I taken this to a weird place have I no no no no let you
- 26:28continue we uh we haven't talked about this I don't I don't think you guys
- 26:32talked about this last week I don't know I don't remember when it actually got
- 26:35released in relation anything it's been so long since I've been on the show but
- 26:38did you see there's a a trailer for some new Star Wars film uh Star Wars is that
- 26:42a that's a kids movie from the 70s right that's right yeah yeah they made another
- 26:48they remade it I guess yeah right remade it a few times I think actually I I
- 26:53think this time it's going to be the last one that's at least that's
- 26:56something like that yeah yeah they wouldn't bother me any I've watched it a
- 27:00few times now yeah I've watched it a few times too Star Wars and the trailer I think
- 27:06the trailer gets better yeah I would agree I was pretty
- 27:11underwhelmed uh the first time I've
- 27:14warmed to it somewhat since then uh I'm
- 27:18hoping some of the cuts are just trailer Cuts fakes yeah I would be very
- 27:24surprised if they're not actually some of the editing in it I was like
- 27:29yeah yeah it's also implying a lot of
- 27:32stuff that I think uh the edit is implying that's not really happening in
- 27:37the movie some conversations that may or may not be between certain people yeah I
- 27:42agree actually I think there's a bit of that going on yeah um so the second I
- 27:47saw the trailer was also the day that tickets went on sale yes so I have also
- 27:52purchased my midnight screening ticket so I will get to see it before all of
- 27:56yous yeah cuz it comes out there probably a week before for some reason challenge
- 28:01accepted oh oh crap I'm seeing it at 12:01 on I think
- 28:08the 14th of December out is it all right well we'll see well I don't buy movie
- 28:13tickets anymore which December 15 I can update you on that as well in a little
- 28:16bit so Matt were you uh were you suitably unimpressed as we were and have
- 28:22you have you warmed to it somewhat as we have yeah actually I actually watched it
- 28:26again uh just before before this uh to see it again I don't
- 28:31know I'm not uh I'm sure it's probably they're trying
- 28:37to keep stuff out of the trailer like they don't want to spoil it hopefully
- 28:40that's what it is yeah so being selective about what they want to show
- 28:45so hopefully that's all it is I just I don't know cuz either Ray and Luke spend
- 28:48a long time on that [ __ ] rock or uh or they're not just giv anything
- 28:54away well if you look at if they're sort of following along with how the first
- 29:00Trilogy went could Poss be that yeah she's off on her Deo bar for most movie
- 29:06they don't see each other maybe yeah yeah but I mean Luke didn't start onar
- 29:12he went there like in act two well they got to change it a little bit hey uh be
- 29:17exactly the same movie so I've got a bit of an argument going with someone right
- 29:22now mhm uh that I'm hoping you guys can
- 29:24weigh in on right okay um this person
- 29:29who [ __ ] weirdly [ __ ] it's it's not anyone you know that's why I'm having
- 29:34trouble even saying who it is sure because it won't mean anything
- 29:39exactly right right yeah um it's a colleague of ha right who works at
- 29:45Disney okay who uh who mentioned to H recently that only
- 29:51people who can use and manipulate the force can in fact wield a lightsaber and
- 29:58I don't believe that to be the cas it used to be what I thought but I don't
- 30:03think that's true anymore would you like my evidence to the contrary Han Solo on
- 30:08the half Planet correct Finn no Finn in it's Han taking loots lightsaber and
- 30:14cutting open a Tonton y yeah yeah I think that's you're
- 30:19going to back back me up yeah definitely yeah yeah absolutely okay there was a a
- 30:25a rumor at one point that you had to use the force to to keep it on and if you
- 30:29didn't use the force it would turn off but then yeah like otherwise that
- 30:33doesn't make any sense whatsoever no I know but also you could just press the
- 30:37button again you could have an argument that there is no button the only way to
- 30:42turn it on is to use the force to sort of connect the wire or something except
- 30:46that it's not maybe maybe there are that work that way but clearly there are ones
- 30:50that don't and actually lightsabers aren't a special weapon in fact they're
- 30:55the opposite and he explains that in the first film I'll go you one further than
- 30:59that it's the same lightsaber what's the same light uses Han and Finn use the
- 31:04same lightsaber maybe that's a special one that has a button there's one
- 31:09there's one in the and all the others don't no the whole point the whole point
- 31:12is that they're not as good as a gun you know it's like a sword to a gun
- 31:16everyone's got blasters but these guys are traditionalists they still like
- 31:19using their [ __ ] swords yep that's cuz they're that good so
- 31:24Neil suck my dick
- 31:33so you just got to CL this part of the episode and I think listens Neil if
- 31:38you're listening suck my dick if you're listening or if you want to weigh in on
- 31:44the discussion can can a normal non Force sensitive person use a lightsaber
- 31:48hey man if Neil wants to come on the show and argue his case I more than

- 33:38space right yes I'm just going to leave that out there as a little tease right
- 33:43yeah but uh something's been in the news lately that I've only been catching
- 33:47little bits and pieces of and that maybe you guys have been following more
- 33:50closely than me there is a rapper out there who is
- 33:56crowdfunding a to prove once and for all that the Earth
- 34:03is flat and and it's gotten so big now
- 34:06that astronauts on the ISS are now specifically taking pictures of the
- 34:13Earth's curve to send back to this guy to say I'm up here bro it's [ __ ]
- 34:19round he's not going to trust them because he's it's a conspiracy they
- 34:23they're doctoring the photos conspiracy of and who has anything to gain from it
- 34:30I I I don't know but they you can't reason with these people you can't argue
- 34:35cuz I can't reason someone out of a position they weren't reasoned
- 34:40into that's a good way I do follow a lot of Flat Earth stuff and you can't argue
- 34:47with them you can't point out anything cuz it's just you're always wrong and
- 34:52it's always the government's out the guess you NASA's just lying to you yeah
- 34:58created to lie to you right okay I see seems like a big waste of time and money
- 35:04just to [ __ ] I don't know how it would affect well I'm actually hoping that he
- 35:10does do it and then it comes back and he
- 35:13goes well it's round sorry guys see that's my that's the question with a lot
- 35:19of these conspiracy theories right no matter where you know they come up with
- 35:24all these these theories and like little little Snippets of potential evidence
- 35:28and stuff like that but whenever you go why mhm there's no answer like why why
- 35:35do you think that not why do you think that but what do you think the point of
- 35:39it is like true just to try and give Mis
- 35:43information out there so you can easily control the public cuz every single
- 35:49government officials all working under some secret Illuminati thing but okay
- 35:55let's just say that let's say for a moment that that is correct right and
- 35:59there is a world government right run by seven people who control every country
- 36:04in the world and its Illuminati and their reptilians okay let blow this wide
- 36:10open let's say all of that is true right what do they have to gain right by
- 36:17having what they want by
- 36:21having a false story out there that the
- 36:24world is in fact an orb when only super
- 36:29intelligent people like rapper Bo
- 36:33o actually know the truth I can sort of explain this go
- 36:39on what what they because what happens is when the secret reptilian people want
- 36:45to sort of get people looking from to get people looking in a particular
- 36:50direction to go look at space and we go to Plants all this where they really
- 36:53should be looking over here about what they're building over there it's all
- 36:56crap okay all right no you make a valid point it's all misdirection that that
- 37:02did you just talk yourself out of a conspiracy theory in in one sentence
- 37:06it's cuz I know how stupid it is yeah I know but that this is actually what they
- 37:11believe yeah Matt do you have a do you have a feeling that Luke is in on this
- 37:17maybe yes I am getting I am really getting into it as in have you been I
- 37:23want I want to hear how into it you're getting I don't believe it but I just I
- 37:27like like there's a couple of people I just follow on Instagram and I just love
- 37:31reading what they post and then reading the arguments they have in the comments
- 37:34Instagram so that's a picture only format right are they having pictures of
- 37:38the Flat Earth well they're having pictures let me back up is the evidence
- 37:43for a flat Earth the fact that when you look around you it looks flat is is that
- 37:48the evidence well I'll stop you there it doesn't cuz if you keep looking just
- 37:52look at the Horizon oh wait where did it go it doesn't look flat otherwise you
- 37:58would still see it it's a straight line Matt it's a [ __ ] straight
- 38:02line no so has anyone heard mountains there not in the [ __ ] desert there
- 38:08isn't has anyone heard of boob I mean I've never heard of this guy
- 38:14um but he's it's not Kickstarter it's gofund me right uh and his campaign is
- 38:21called show me the curve and he
- 38:25says that's great I'm starting this Gund me because I would like to send one if
- 38:30not multiple satellites as far into space as I can or into
- 38:36orbit okay to find the
- 38:42curve and then he goes on to say I'm looking for the
- 38:47curve is he okay he wants to put let's unpack this satellites in orbit around
- 38:54something he thinks is flat yes okay I'm just going to leave that okay but he I'm
- 39:00actually happy with what he's doing because he's not like any of the others
- 39:03who they go well why don't you send something and prove well we don't have
- 39:06to he's actually doing something that will prove to him once and for all if it
- 39:11is or it isn't he's actually I doubt that I think he's he's
- 39:16going to doubt his own evidence once once he sees it well I want to know
- 39:21who's he going to get to send it up because if he uses any of the other
- 39:25space organizations out there they're already lying to you yeah good point but
- 39:30he doesn't trust Elon Musk he doesn't trust Elon Musk and there's evidence
- 39:34here that he doesn't trust Neil degrass Tyson Degrassi Jr Tyson either how can
- 39:39you not trust Neil degrass Tyson I know
- 39:41um he's so happy yeah so uh so Bo posted
- 39:49on Twitter the cities in the background are approximately 16 mil apart where's
- 39:55the curve okay and Neil degrass Tyson tweeted back
- 39:59Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 ft of Manhattan but most buildings in Midtown
- 40:05are taller than that okay there you go there you go but that that is a very big
- 40:11argument for flat earthers they come back with what's the measurable curve of the
- 40:16earth and then what happens when you get the answer to that I mean I don't know
- 40:19what it is off the top of my head but then what happens when you give them the
- 40:22answer they go n pretty much [ __ ] h I
- 40:27know Google know what it is yeah I bet
- 40:31but the whole that cuz that c the measurable curve well yes if it was
- 40:37perfectly round that would be a thing but it's not perfectly round we have
- 40:41mountains and hills and that's right and then as the the moon orbits and other
- 40:48planetary bodies orbit it affects the shape of the earth slightly it's more of
- 40:52a sphere more of a not sphere what am I talking about more of
- 40:55a it's smooshed kind of smush shape sometimes and the people in space
- 41:01they're actually just when they're in their space walk they're just they're
- 41:06straight up uh that smooshed that smooshed shape uh whatever we've decided
- 41:12to call it uh curves at approximately 8
- 41:14in per mile okay yep yeah much like my
- 41:22dick uh so we got some movie talk and I want to give an update on two things and
- 41:26then we actually talk about the films themselves if you want sure um my movie
- 41:31pass arrived and I've been using it and it's great if you're in North America I
- 41:34highly recommend you check it out I get a little card and I can I pay $10 a
- 41:38month and I can go see movies uh one do you know how much money I paid for my
- 41:42Star Wars tickets 80 bucks wow see I might have trouble the problem with it
- 41:49well not problem with it because I mean who cares it's not a big deal but if I I
- 41:53have to be at the cinema to do it like I can't book in advance so if I'm going to
- 41:58and see St Wars I've to drive to the ca be there like check in on the app and then
- 42:04go up to the counter so the odds you know what I can understand that because
- 42:09you able to do it online and it cost you nothing you would probably book
- 42:12something and go N I can't be bothered and then I have an advantage on that front
- 42:17in that I live in uh Rhode Island and it's it's not a big deal to go to the
- 42:21cinema it doesn't sell out that often yeah it would be a real problem here
- 42:26exactly yeah and I think you know like in in say if I lived in like Manhattan
- 42:29or if I lived probably even in Boston it might be more of an issue but here you
- 42:33know it's not no big deal at the local cinema at the mall so actually I don't
- 42:38even think it' be a problem in Manhattan we went to the movies it was empty yeah
- 42:42that's true I mean we were dumb enough to see it in
- 42:464D I kind of want to see that no I I'll be honest and of all movies to see it in
- 42:51that was the one it was [ __ ] great except for the smell of vision that needs some tweet
- 42:57yeah that needs a bit of work yeah yeah Sean has a unique
- 43:01scent well it's more like everything that smells smells like this
- 43:08smell right it's just one smell there you go yeah so Movie Pass highly
- 43:12recommend it uh 10 bucks a month and they've apparently removed the rule that
- 43:17says you can only see a movie Once I'm going to check that today when I go and
- 43:20see Blade Runner again uh if if I can't do it then I'll just pay for it because
- 43:25uh well we'll talk about in a minute so there's that's one update and the other
- 43:29update is that there is now I think I talked about Disney movies anywhere
- 43:33where oh yeah Movies Anywhere yeah so it used to be Disney movies anywhere so if
- 43:38you bought a Disney film uh you could you bought it on one platform it would
- 43:43appear on all other platforms and um it used to have quite a lot it used to
- 43:50include Microsoft uh so there would pop up on my Xbox like I have Rogue one I
- 43:54have it on everything and so that was great they signed up a bunch of other
- 43:58Studios and so they rebranded it's now just called movies anywhere and it works
- 44:04with a large number of Studios not everybody but a large number of Studios
- 44:07so if you buy something on iTunes or you buy it on Amazon it you just own it you
- 44:12just own it on all the platforms except they don't support Microsoft anymore as
- 44:19of the change so that sucks no watching yeah I mean it does it's not a huge deal
- 44:25cuz I can just put Amazon movies on my Xbox and still watch them yeah and the
- 44:31reason that I that the word Chrome reminded me of that earlier uh I'm not
- 44:35sure if that actually made it onto the podcast but one of you said the word
- 44:39Chrome and it reminded me to put this in the spreadsheet is because I bought uh
- 44:43pardon me Fury Road blood uh Blood and Chrome Edition oh you did have you
- 44:48watched it yet I have that no no no no not yet let us know I'm very keen so
- 44:54those are my movie service updates for this week okay well uh let's uh let's
- 45:01get a little meta here and let's uh okay let's start talking about one of the
- 45:05movies you may have seen using your
- 45:08movie path MH MH yeah Harrison Ford's second last
- 45:14movie where he brings back that character from witness and they burn
- 45:19down the barn with him inside it either may have seen I've definitely
- 45:25seen one of Harrison Ford's best films this past week in my opinion well I've
- 45:30seen two cuz I watched the first Blade Runner earlier this week same and uh and
- 45:35then just last night I went to see blade Warner 2049 now I will give everyone there's
- 45:42going to be no spoilers at the moment okay cuz Luke hasn't seen it yet it's
- 45:45only been out for no no I don't care about spoilers it's only been out for a
- 45:47week so you don't need to tune out listeners this is the first week no
- 45:51spoilers uh are you going to are you going to see it Luke yeah I'm going to
- 45:54see it this week okay good you should cuz it is [ __ ] awesome yeah it's I
- 46:00just it was just school holidays here so I never want to go to movies then I I I
- 46:06Adore this film like I was so happy with
- 46:10it it's so good so like aside from the fact that it's probably the most
- 46:14beautifully shot movie ever made right uh and aside from the fact that it uh
- 46:20has a lot of cool stuff in it and it's just a great movie uh on its own right
- 46:25in its own Merit uh Matt did you uh did
- 46:29you like the uh the squally stuff in it cuz I think they did a pretty pretty
- 46:36good job writing yep some old stuff in new ways I think this might be my
- 46:42favorite sequel ever because it's actually a sequel I'm like not going to
- 46:47talk about the plot but it it takes some stuff from the first film doesn't
- 46:52[ __ ] beat you over the head with it doesn't it's not like filled with
- 46:54Nostalgia like oh here's that thing you liked about
- 47:02FM Andries but in a painful and and stupid
- 47:07way mhm it's it's just so good like it's like I
- 47:14said maybe the best sequel I've seen good and if you like the first one I the
- 47:20one complaint I've heard from people that I'm like uh maybe is that it's very
- 47:24slow cuz it is almost 3 hours long first one's slow as well the first one was
- 47:28slow yeah if you like the first one you like this and honestly like I I didn't
- 47:33want it to end I was like I mean either and it is slow but that's the point
- 47:38because I I wanted to stay in the world like I it it soon as the credits came on
- 47:43I was like ah like I wanted more yeah
- 47:48yeah you wanted that to be episode one of a series that we're now watching this
- 47:53is the one but I'm I'm like yep make more please but then also make but make them as good
- 47:59please don't [ __ ] on this now that well apparently this has not been a box
- 48:03office success which uh I guess shouldn't really surprise look anyone
- 48:07neither was Blade Runner when it came out too it had to gain cult following
- 48:11over decades and then have the 15 re-releases with different edits yes
- 48:17correct but the director of this film a guy whose name I cannot pronounce I
- 48:22think it's Deni Deni and go for the last name as well
- 48:27uh no no we're on a first name basis Denny uh Denny has come out and said
- 48:33that uh there will be no director's cut there will be no remake there'll be
- 48:38nothing this is it this is the [ __ ] movie it doesn't need it it's it's
- 48:44honestly it's just it's spot on like there it does I I feel like it's long
- 48:49right like you said it's nearly 3 hours long but I don't think there's anything
- 48:52in there that was like filler like it's all no man it's all good all solid and
- 48:58next week we'll get specific about the things we liked about it we will give
- 49:02you spoilers yeah but least go see it honestly go see it it's like I think
- 49:06it's the best film you'll see this year like it's really good you're talking to
- 49:10Luke or the listeners I'm talking to Luke and the listeners to literally
- 49:14everyone I don't know if it'll be the best movie I'm going to see all year
- 49:17there's three movies I'm going to see this year if Jumanji is one of them only
- 49:21three of them he refuses as well four
- 49:25movies what are the three mun MH Blade Runner Thor Ragnarok Star Wars yeah I
- 49:32mean look you've just listed three great movies I'm sure um and jury's out on
- 49:38Star Wars until we see it yeah oh I'm sure Thor looks and also Guardians 2o
- 49:43came out this year as well right and that was a great film but no this I'm
- 49:47I'm pretty confident saying as great as those films will be this Blade Runner
- 49:522049 is it's they're not going to top it speaking of I I love the fact did you
- 49:57guys read Guardians 2 only came out this year right and obviously they're going
- 50:00to do a sequel but it hasn't been written yet it hasn't been cast yet I
- 50:03mean but they've already picked the uh the mixtape they already
- 50:10know what songs are going in it yeah I told you we saw at hascon James gun was
- 50:15there and he he was talking about he did like a little interview and stuff on the
- 50:18stage and then they had a Q&A thing and people got up and just were asking him
- 50:23like just point blank spoilers for three like oh is this going to happen in three
- 50:26yeah and he was like I'm not telling you why would I tell
- 50:30you yeah and know cuz he's he's got a I think he's written a treatment for it
- 50:35but there's no script and it's not final and stuff but he was like e either way
- 50:38I'm not telling you stop it like three people I think just D is is this
- 50:43character going to die in three like shut up yeah I'm going I'm going to
- 50:48spoil it for Everyone by telling you now yeah a weird thing to ask if people are
- 50:55strange when you're a strange stranger strer things comes out this

- 51:23season two yeah me too of Riverdale me too me
- 51:28too get into it listeners get into it he's speaking of remakes or not not even
- 51:33remakes adaptations I guess uh you guys see they doing a Settlers of a Katan
- 51:39movie yeah that's weird I don't how I guess it's just about a bu
- 51:45Farmers they made Battleship oh God that game's just about
- 51:50trading yep it's going to be a action pack y some a blockbuster what
- 51:55characters will have a lot of grain what characters won't have as much you
- 52:00know are they actually making
- 52:03it it's in development oh God that means there so they've paying someone a lot of
- 52:09money to sit there and go [ __ ] what am I going to come with that's right they're
- 52:14like of all of all the things to have to
- 52:17adapt [ __ ] Settlers of kitan I mean I mean I re I could do it if they paid me
- 52:23a bunch of money I could come up with a story based around I agree and I I think
- 52:27people complain I mean mean board games are hard sure I mean the look kudos to
- 52:33the guy who wrote the screenplay for Battleship right game where you guess at
- 52:38what squares on a grid might have a ship on it right and they came up with the
- 52:43story line that there is a [ __ ] war in the sea and everyone's radar goes out
- 52:50and they have to just drop bombs randomly based on latitude and longitude
- 52:55coordinates okay you didn't do too badly it should never have been made but you
- 53:00didn't do too badly there's kind of a lot of there's a lot less pressure on
- 53:04you when you're adapting Settlers of Katen than when you're adapting like a
- 53:09beloved property like say like you Harry Potter or something like that it's like
- 53:14you screw it up no one's going what I don't understand who's asking for Bard
- 53:17games to be made into movies no one's asking can't wait for connect
- 53:22for operation mono great film they I mean
- 53:28look there was a clue movie and it was [ __ ] great I will say this though
- 53:33when when people come out and they say oh you know we tried for years to uh to
- 53:38develop a Halo movie and we just couldn't come up with a storyline so
- 53:41[ __ ] give me give me 500 bucks and a half a week I'll come up with something
- 53:46yeah exactly oh there's just nothing yeah nothing interesting about this
- 53:52world but Battleship yeah we'll we'll write that and get it out oh
- 53:57Settlers of Katan movie I'm not going to see
- 54:01it I like the game too much yeah they're going to ruin the legacy of the game
- 54:06yeah you're not going to be able to play the game again because you'll just see
- 54:09uh you'll see the actor's
- 54:13faces look I saw one other film uh we've talked about this film before uh not
- 54:19directly but in in it we talked about it advertising uh in New Town in Sydney mhm
- 54:24uh and I saw by Darren aronowski
- 54:29so you're just going to see any movie now oh yeah I'll see I'll see anything
- 54:34uh WR in let me know what you want me to see and I'll go see it because why not
- 54:37podcast at multiple nasm.com yeah I saw Dar rsk's mother uh possibly the the
- 54:42worst reviewed film of the year I think although that might be a bit of
- 54:48hyperbole uh it's not done well either critically or at the box
- 54:54office I I enjoyed
- 54:58it but I can see why no a lot of other
- 55:02people did this is not a horror film If You're Expecting like a you know like a
- 55:08a horror film in the vein of you know like those they kind of build it as you
- 55:12know like uh what's another one that's out at the moment um happy death day or
- 55:18whatever you know like one of those horror films for all the teenagers
- 55:21to go see it's if [ __ ] not that at all right so if a group of friends in
- 55:26their you know mid teens went along to Mother what can they expect the story of
- 55:32the Bible mhm by Darren aronowski right
- 55:38where uh I'm going to talk spoilers it's been out for a while now and also I I
- 55:42can't spoil this movie for you like there there's nothing I can say that's
- 55:47going to spoil this it's like it spoils itself the well the plot doesn't work
- 55:51like that it's it's like it's basically like like a dream it happens like a
- 55:55dream so you've got jav ABM plays God okay right and this is
- 56:00not explicit like they don't say that he's God but he is sure and uh he plays
- 56:05a Godlike character no no he's the abrahamic god oh right yeah quite quite
- 56:11literally yeah and uh Jennifer Lawrence plays Mother Nature I I I think oh okay
- 56:16I see who does not feature in that in that mythology but and then they live in
- 56:20a house in the middle of nowhere by themselves uh and God wrote something
- 56:25pretty good people liked it a while ago but hasn't done any yeah he hasn't he
- 56:30hasn't done any work lately uh but then uh a guy shows up he's like and then the
- 56:35guy's wife shows up and then their two kids show up the kids get in a fight one
- 56:39kills the other one and and then all this other stuff happens and suddenly
- 56:43God gets an idea for a new book oh my God movie is yeah yeah yeah that's what
- 56:49the movie is that's what mother is yeah
- 56:53okay see now it makes sense why the the trailer doesn't give any of that away
- 56:58right yeah because if I was doing marketing on this movie and you Darren
- 57:02aronowski and I was like okay what what's what's the premise and you would
- 57:05told me that I'd be like I can't I can't sell this I can't [ __ ] sell this to
- 57:10people I can't tell people that that's the plot and expect them to come and see
- 57:14it [ __ ] it I'll tell them it's a hor movie and then alongside that the the
- 57:20the kind of the Jennifer Lawrence people keep showing up because everyone loves
- 57:24God's book everyone starts showing up at the house in place and she's like get
- 57:30out of my house and they're like it's our house now and it's like basically
- 57:33the the the moral of the story is humans are [ __ ] wow yeah I mean that was theal
- 57:40last movie uh Noah which was also like a kind of a God movie well more than kind
- 57:45of a God movie so that's what mother is and I didn't I didn't dislike it we went
- 57:50and saw it Jenner and I went and saw it and it was us and there was another
- 57:53couple in there a younger couple and uh they got up and left oh
- 57:59wow I've got I've got to say Matt people
- 58:02were walking out of Blade Runner on
- 58:06mass really I have never been in single
- 58:11yeah but I've never been in a single session of of a of one
- 58:16movie where that many people walked
- 58:20out well I this I we're watching the the movie I could hear this couple like
- 58:25whispering and they like what the [ __ ] what's going on I I don't understand and
- 58:30then and then I just got up and
- 58:34left but really Blade Runner okay fine I I have heard that people thought it was
- 58:41boring uh fair enough I disagree I disagree too but it I can also
- 58:47understand that if if you are if you aren't on
- 58:50board it's a long slow drag to the end of something you already don't like you
- 58:57know what I mean true yeah yeah actually I I watched the um back on Blade Runner
- 59:02again but uh the the red letter media half in the bag for Blade Runner 2049
- 59:08and Mike said that he watched uh Blade Runner he hadn't seen it in a very very
- 59:11long time since he was young he he rewatched Bladerunner and he found it to
- 59:16be very generic and that the only good thing about it was kind of the you know
- 59:20the cinematography the look of it yeah that's really weird that's only because
- 59:26it has been emulated so often since then that something that was once very very
- 59:31uh original is now a Trope that's what I was going to say the whole concept of Cu
- 59:37when I saw it for the very first time Blade Runner this concept of there are
- 59:40these these sort of robots they're not really the robots in the film they're
- 59:45they're kind of um what do you call organic but uh these these things we
- 59:49made we made them uh and we put limitations on them except they're alive
- 59:54now and they don't want to die so and like that whole concept just was like
- 59:59mindblowing to me as kid and and it kind of kicked off this because I'm sure
- 1:00:03we've talked about it before I love that I love the the the themes of that in the
- 1:00:07Alien films I love the themes of that in you know Blade Runner or uh Westworld
- 1:00:12all of that stuff like and that all comes from Blade Runner for me that's
- 1:00:15where it started and so yeah it's weird for to hear someone say that but I get
- 1:00:19it I guess cuz yeah I get it but you're
- 1:00:23incorrect yeah cuz this was I mean to to my
- 1:00:28knowledge this was not a common theme when this movie came out and it was it
- 1:00:34was definitely new for me when I saw it and it's definitely not boring [ __ ] off
- 1:00:41yeah let's see if Luke thinks it's boring I I'll be the true judge if it's
- 1:00:45a good game part of me hopes Luke does find it boring comes back and like what
- 1:00:50the [ __ ] guys what is wrong with you guys there's a chair typ of D comeback
- 1:00:55with that feeling I'm gonna should I watch the first one I think I should I
- 1:00:59think gone wrong yeah have you seen the first
- 1:01:02one what I'm just checking I'm just checking yeah watch the first one first
- 1:01:09cuz it it ties in directly if you've not seen it in a while yeah I mean even it
- 1:01:14might even be a good idea to just refresh your
- 1:01:19memory what's the final cut yeah Final Cut the Final Cut yeah yeah yeah uh if
- 1:01:25for no other
- 1:02:25don't know what's going on but that's that's part of it yeah that's the charm
- 1:02:28of it and and whereas you got Harrison Ford explaining everything to you and
- 1:02:32here's the thing if you if you watch
- 1:02:34Blade Runner he does pause a lot where
- 1:02:39the voiceover goes but if you watch it without that I.E you watch the
- 1:02:43director's cut or the final cut it's not pausing for voiceover it's him just being in the
- 1:02:50environment right and you can I feel like the voiceover they just slap the
- 1:02:56voice over in anywhere there was like silence and then it's like you you miss
- 1:02:59out on cuz you I don't know it takes away from the world like just just live
- 1:03:03in the world like that's the point correct yeah let it absorb you cuz
- 1:03:09that's again I'm not going to talk of spoilers but one of the things I liked
- 1:03:12about 2049 was that they had that like those long slow sequ like shots and cuz someone
- 1:03:19said there's a scene where Ryan Gosling's character is uh exploring a
- 1:03:25place he hasn't been before and it's quite a long sequence of shots of him
- 1:03:29exploring it but it's not boring cuz it's like you could say that about
- 1:03:33almost any scene in this movie yeah Ryan golin very very slowly exploring a place
- 1:03:40he's never been before yeah but it's fascinating it's not like I but I guess
- 1:03:45if you're not on board then it's boring but but [ __ ] it I was mesmerized get
- 1:03:49on board yeah we haven't talked about any games and there's a there's a little
- 1:03:54game here that I don't know if we should talk about it but it made me laugh go on
- 1:03:57let's let's end with this so there's an independent game M that was being
- 1:04:04developed yeah and uh by by a developer called Big O tree games uh they've had
- 1:04:09to Halt development though because been some some claims of uh I just opened up
- 1:04:15the link and I think I could see where this game was going yeah it's been some
- 1:04:19there's been some claims of uh potential racism right racism in a game called
- 1:04:24Dirty Chinese restaurant yeah there'd be a very easy way to not
- 1:04:30make this racist right they don't have to stop developing the game they just
- 1:04:35have to take the Chinese element out of it just a little bit yeah so yeah in
- 1:04:40this game you play as two uh I think they're twins two the two owners of a
- 1:04:45Chinese restaurant yeah but I'll stop you there their names are Wang Fu and
- 1:04:48Wong Fu which means that they're actually just two completely unrelated
- 1:04:52people who have the same first name because uh fu is their first name and Wong and Wang
- 1:04:59are their surname all right then well you play as
- 1:05:03as Wong and Wang and you have to hunt dogs and cats in an Alleyway yeah in a
- 1:05:10filthy garbage ridden Alleyway and then
- 1:05:13you cook it into Chinese food and these
- 1:05:17developers claim MH that are I guess we didn't
- 1:05:23realize this is the statement after after careful consideration and taking
- 1:05:27time to listen to The public's opinion we've decided it's not in anyone's best
- 1:05:30interest to release dirty Chinese restaurant we'd like to make a sincere
- 1:05:35and formal apology to the Chinese community and wish to assure them this
- 1:05:38game was not created with an intentional interest of inflicting harm or malice
- 1:05:41against Chinese culture right so here's the thing if that's the case don't stop
- 1:05:46development just take the word [ __ ] Chinese out of the [ __ ] title well no
- 1:05:51I think it might have also been what some of the feedback they were getting
- 1:05:54was it's not it's also just a killing the cats and dogs as well yeah of course
- 1:05:59well I've killed far worse things than cats and dogs in video games so I I
- 1:06:03don't know I buy that but not to eat trying to think of the worst thing
- 1:06:07I've ever eaten in a video game ST it's basically like they just were like
- 1:06:12what's a bunch of racist [ __ ] people think about Chinese people let's make a
- 1:06:16game about that let's make a game about that has anyone made a game about that
- 1:06:18has anyone made a game about the ching chong chinan let's do that
- 1:06:23game that was their [ __ ] that was the pitch yeah actually I don't think they
- 1:06:27ever pitched anybody because if they said it out loud they probably would
- 1:06:30have went oh wait a minute yeah yeah someone was like how was an accident
- 1:06:35[ __ ] accident come on I'm looking at this character right now this is not an
- 1:06:41accident yeah ridiculous so yeah this game has been cancel actually a US
- 1:06:48congresswoman um I guess gave it a gave it a scathing uh not review but uh she
- 1:06:54didn't review it played through it and here's my review
- 1:07:00what the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] and then they went yeah you're probably right yeah
- 1:07:04maybe we don't need to make this game um I need to ask a question I'm a little
- 1:07:08bit confused about their their comment yeah so when they before shutting it
- 1:07:12down they did try to defend it and it was our game is mainly satire and comedy
- 1:07:17influenced by classic political incorrect shows we grew up watching
- 1:07:21Sasha South Park all the family s on Family Guy and all that it's fine but
- 1:07:26then they also go on and say we also listen to Jay-Z
- 1:07:30yeah yeah I don't get that bit is Jay-Z racist against Chinese people I don't I
- 1:07:36don't understand that reference neither do I yeah what what done our game is in
- 1:07:42no way meant to be an accurate representation of Chinese culture oh
- 1:07:46thanks for pointing that out I didn't notice that's fine then if it's not
- 1:07:51accurate okay does JZ
- 1:07:56hate Chinese the
- 1:08:00Chinese so [ __ ] weird and all like I mean I don't know whether he does
- 1:08:06yet cuz I haven't read quite as far into this as I need to but the top hit is a
- 1:08:11Reddit post called I hate you Jay-Z and so do a whole bunch of
- 1:08:17Chinese all right okay maybe maybe there's something to
- 1:08:22it I can see like this is one of those things like like when when like South
- 1:08:28Park is a good example right South Park would maybe do this but they would do it
- 1:08:33in a like they South Park would make fun of the people making fun of Chinese
- 1:08:39people and that's where they've missed here you know yes correct yeah yeah yeah
- 1:08:43it actually be a subex they already sort of do it with
- 1:08:47like the shitty walk and that's what I mean but they're they're not making fun
- 1:08:51of Asians they're making fun of the Asian stereotypes that's what I mean
- 1:08:56they have done it and they they do it well yeah they they they come at it from
- 1:09:01a from a different angle to what well if these guys intended to do it that way
- 1:09:06they have failed yeah that's right uh also I've just read on uh the reason
- 1:09:10that the Chinese people hate Jay-Z is because he has an album called
- 1:09:14444 uh and four uh the the the word for four in Chinese is the same as the word
- 1:09:21for death so uh oh they think
- 1:09:26this one person NIS moas I'm not even going to pronounce this this one person says that he
- 1:09:32doesn't like it because he thinks Jay-Z has an album called death death Death
- 1:09:36and even if he did that's fine no that that's actually
- 1:09:41accountable corpse album death death Death yeah and I think it's got a one of
- 1:09:47the the title track on there is is on the title track but the the opening
- 1:09:50track is called Dirty Chinese restaurant well Jay-Z you owe Cannibal Corpse some
- 1:09:55money
- 1:10:01[Applause]
