0:41
got like a pile of panul that I have in my desk just like a normal person I just
0:47
keep in aart my desk I really need to get around to getting one of those
0:51
little things like those old people have which this is my morning pills so I open
0:55
that up and I take that out and yeah oh that makes sense like says like an old
1:00
person has like he's not an old person yeah I'm not old hey you guys are old
1:05
I'm not old I'm so young are you sure that wasn't a runt you just swallowed
1:09
[ __ ] you say to me runt that's a candy for those who don't know oh you didn't
1:13

1:17
that that was my recreational uh don't worry about that now the recreational
1:22
drugs he does take anally ah okay now I'm good a guy that I used to work with
1:27
um told me once about shelfing do you guys know about it shelfing it's where
1:32
you stick ecstasy up your ass it's a HGTV show is it yeah that's right I'd
1:37
love to see this is on HGTV no apparently apparently if you stick
1:41
ecstasy up your ass instead of swallowing it it's way better shelfing
1:46
according that's also the same thing of like putting like a VRA on a tampon and
1:50
shoving that up your ass that's been to very quickly why is it called shelfing
1:56
though the first guy was the first guy who did it a builder
2:01
I've been shelfing wink well maybe maybe
2:05
it's cuz you've got to do it yourself
2:11
ConEd I'm G to shove this ecstasy up my ass um well actually although according
2:18
to my colleague um he said it's much more fun when you do it with a
2:23
friend to be clear I wasn't that friend and that's how he convinced me to
2:28
build some shells with him yeah yeah puts it up there for you or you both
2:33
doing get it at the same time help each other like you pop it up each other th
2:39
right you make a thing of it all right guys I don't want to help you with Shing
2:43
just putting that out there I've um I've been watching early I I I got did I
2:48
mention this already I got a streaming reminded mat of something what yeah yeah
2:51
did the old episodes of Top Gear the like from the oh the really old episodes
2:57
where they used to stick drugs up each other's ass no the episodes from the '90s right
3:03
where it's Clarkson Hammond and uh this other guy Jason when there when they're
3:07
sort of young yes and everything's gay where they just like talking about
3:14
how oh that car's a bit gay and then they're all like oh wow teasing each
3:18
other about and I was just like [ __ ] hell all right but you got a r but
3:23
during the 90s and us being in high school that was the same I know I know
3:27
it just we didn't so long it's been exactly and it's been so long since I've
3:31
I've seen it just so casually thrown around as like a I mean sort of an
3:35
insult I mean they're not not as bad as you know kids in high school were when
3:40
we were young it's mhm yeah but it's just it's like straight up a joke like
3:47
it's just so but times have changed so much I think I've mentioned on this
3:50
podcast before though if if you go on you can watch this on YouTube there was
3:54
a AUST strali sketch show called The Late Show on ABC back in the '90s oh God
3:59
I find it oh yeah but you can you can find why would they re-release it I have
4:03
the DVD but it's just the best of right the champag champ Edition yeah yeah yeah
4:08
yeah but there's uh is on that on that version is there a sketch called Glen
4:12
Gary Glenn Ridge that sounds familiar which is a parody of a movie called Glen
4:16
Gary Glenn Ross which is a um it's like a hard-hitting David Mammoth adaptation
4:22
of of like real estate agent Cutthroat I don't think there is but anyway but
4:26
Glenn Ridge is the host of sale of the century so there's a version of that
4:31
with him in it right but the play's got a lot of profanity in it and they're
4:34
just swearing at each other and it's all beeped except the
4:38
word which is not beeped oh so at one point someone calls someone a [ __ ]
4:44
and only [ __ ] is beeped cuz it's the ' 90s and you can
4:49
call someone a if you want which which ironically is the opposite of this
4:52
episode of this show that we're on right now yeah yeah cuz this episode is called
4:57
[ __ ] but with the beep on the the word that's right my favorite joke from The Late
5:04
Show is read that side behind us Mick and he turn goes Wheelchairs and
5:08
strollers and they're one of Brothers movie
5:12
World wait what this my favorite joke from The Late Show I remember that
5:18
sketch that was when they did the um the stuntmen right the stunt men I I don't
5:23
get the joke but I remember the sketch I was going to say I don't get it either
5:27
but I believe you I guess I I don't know why they don't re re relase this I I
5:33
don't get it cuz they they're all became sort of pretty big stars in their own on
5:38
the panel right that was basically the cast of The Late Show yeah was the panel
5:43
well you got yeah well they also produced the castle castle yeah yeah oh
5:48
yeah the working dog wasck and Tony had their own radio show they've had
5:52
television show they've done stand up make I think quido hatsis was one of
5:57
them I don't know who still making television shows I just don't know the
6:02
late show or and the the the degeneration just never got a re-release
6:06
for some reason Carlos went on to do Eurovision as zlad if you
6:12
[Laughter] recall antip that's right like the hammer hits
6:19
the cantaloup so good like the lion eats the
6:25
antelope yeah I would legitimately listen to that I've seen worse at year
6:29
Vision I've seen far worse your vision sort of reminds me of sort of the
6:34
Olympics a little bit for one simple thing mhm you can't be a professional
6:40
athlete at the [Music] Olympics is that a rule or you just no
6:47
no think at least at least with boxing why if you're a professional boxer M you
6:53
can't go to the Olympics and box why is that I'm Miss there's some Nuance to
6:57
this that I'm missing cuz you're a professional I don't know anything about the
7:00
oh the Olympics is for amateur only what that can't be right I didn't know that
7:06
you you can't be a like I know in boxing you can't be a professional boxer and go
7:10
in boxing but what's a professional boxer that's different to like a
7:14
professional rower I don't know that's why I'm confused I'm trying to find this
7:19
out I I definitely don't know I definitely don't know just recently
7:23
heard like if you're a boxer so all the boxers that You' heard about cuz you you
7:28
know all the boxes haven't heard of that many boxers to be honest I've heard of
7:33
Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali they're the boxers I know but have you ever heard of
7:37
them going to the Olympics for all I know they are mate I don't know that's
7:42
fair is boxing an Olympic sport that could explain it it is oh all right yeah
7:48
it's not M but they can't join the Olympic fencing team for some reason
7:52
that's what I was going to say yeah Mike Tyson's never done ice skating in the
7:55
Olympics I can't believe it I would watch the [ __ ] out of that also they
7:59
don't have ice skating at the Olympics I'm pretty sure do they what that's
8:02
Winter Olympics right they have it at the Winter Olympics same thing same
8:05
thing right just a different time it's that thing that comes around every every
8:09
four years that no one really cares about anything more right in in some
8:12
ways it's much more fun to watch though I literally only pictured Winter Olympic
8:17
sports in my head this whole time I didn't even think of I was like is that
8:21
you looking snowboarding yeah well we've just gone through the Winter Olympics
8:27
why everyone's in their wheelchair wait I'm thinking of the
8:31
Paralympics and they will not let Mike Tyson join no no eat someone's
8:38
ear but no for some reason that also reminds me of Eurovision cuz Eurovision
8:44
you don't get the best musician lordy were in Eurovision right they're pretty
8:48
I I think Abba were in Eurovision back in the day too right were they there you
8:52
go yeah but I think like it's sort of really hit and miss but what you're
8:57
saying is that you don't get I'm trying to think of of a famous European pop
9:02
star I can't even think of one maybe that's why just you don't know
9:06
any European pop stars right exactly maybe they all are cuz Lord is the only
9:10
one I know too and I know them I was about to say Ramstein not a famous
9:14
European pop star rste in Eurovision I don't know that's what I was like they
9:20
could I really doubt it [ __ ] doubt it too but I would love that lordy were
9:25
yeah that is true and somehow lordy somehow lordy who dress up like [ __ ]
9:30
demons are still more like familyfriendly and commercially viable
9:35
than Ramstein Ramstein yeah when they let Australia in there was a petition to
9:40
try and get tism to play oh and one of the guys from tism had to
9:45
come out and go you know we're broken up and a few of the guys are dead
9:50
right tism of all people and they fine we'll go to friend ROM friend ROM are
9:56
you guys don't do it they would do it what Jay from frenel

12:54
Providence has got when you look at the skyline from the Christopher ree
12:58
Superman nah the old one industrial National Bank building the Superman
13:03
building oh wow it's a beautiful building yeah yeah you see it yeah it
13:08
almost looks like something from um yeah it looks like something from like a
13:11
Chicago style oh you wait to see this hold on there's a there's a building in
13:14
Singapore and Singapore's list like traditional Southeast Asian buildings
13:19
and like super modernist buildings and then right in the middle of downtown
13:22
there's this hold on Park View Square oh wow and that's the most beautiful
13:26
gargantuan Gothic Tower wow look at that
13:29
it has huh gargoyles and it's [ __ ]
13:35
know that's great oh wow even the lobby wow it's like if iron Rand if iron Rand

13:46
the Lo I'm looking at the lobby it's amazing it's really built at a different
13:50
time that's great if you scroll back through my Instagram there's a there's a
13:54
night that H and I went there and had drinks and stuff and there's a bunch of
13:59
of us there but if you scroll down long enough you'll just see some pictures of
14:02
it in situ and you'll just notice that nothing around it looks anything like
14:06
this you know what it's not like it's this part of Chicago used to no that's
14:11
right it's just some some guy went can I design it however I want and I'm like
14:17
yeah I guess so he's like [ __ ] yeah yeah cuz there's nothing like that in
14:22
Singapore everything's sort of the same Singapore's yeah it's got a lot of
14:27
it's got a lot of trends for sure architecturally speaking but then it's
14:31
got a lot of things that break trends like it's got the um building that's
14:35
just a bunch of blocks randomly stacked and it's got a building that's cascading
14:40
Gardens isn't there one that's like a boat yeah three three pillars with a
14:44
boat with a boat on it yeah I saw that you saw it while watching the F1 didn't
14:48
you Matt ad it I did I did I did yeah cuz actually that's where the F1 either
14:54
starts or finishes that's where the actual stadium is right right in front
14:57
of that yeah yeah I was like [ __ ] that's interesting wasn't the f one just in
15:02
Australia that's right it was in Melbourne yeah although I saw ACH three
15:05
weeks in a row folks that if you're counting and if you're playing the
15:07
drinking game you can all take a shot now I saw on uh Reddit photos of what
15:12
it's actually like to go to the F1 in Melbourne and I was like a [ __ ] that a
15:16
bunch of trash everywhere gross yeah I'd rather watch it on TV but there's events
15:21
and stuff in Singapore when it's F1 it's lasts for a week and bonji plays there's
15:26
stuff happening like every night you don't have to go to the race or watch
15:30
the race but it's still the F1 is like a fun Nationwide Festival it's a sort of
15:35
to make up for shutting down half the city yeah it really it really does show
15:39
it's not half the city mate this just takes half an hour to drive from one end
15:43
of the country to the other so there's big news this week on
15:49
the internet Elon musk's playing silly buggers what is he doing can someone
15:55
explain this to me well is he can he legally do this what does he hope to get
16:01
out of this Twitter apparently so he he bought did we talk about was this last
16:06
week we talked about he bought yeah he he's bought 11% he bought yes he bought
16:11
some percentage of Twitter and everyone was like oh [ __ ] so and then they
16:14
announced he's going to join the board and then everyone was like oh I don't
16:18
know if I want Elon Musk making decisions on Twitter I mean I don't know
16:21
how I feel about Elon Musk these days actually genuinely don't know I used to
16:24
quite like him and respect him but then now I just I just don't know he's so so
16:29
trolly that I can't tell if I like him honestly I think the power the money has
16:34
gone to his head he always had money I don't know yeah yeah but but what he
16:40
says now can like change the stock market can change the price this whereas
16:46
it's not a lot of the stuff that he's doing it isn't him doing stuff it's him
16:53
funding people to do stuff but people see him as being the person who's doing
16:58
it they think he's building Rockets he's not building Rockets oh sure he he he is
17:03
very smart though and he knows a lot about rocketry not denying that but he's
17:08
not building Rockets he he he didn't design the Tesla he brought Tesla and he
17:13
marketed itre he will say that his um strength is recognizing talent and being
17:18
able to bring together the best people yeah so we bought some percentage
17:23
of Twitter they said he was going to be on the board and then a couple of days
17:25
later like they announced it and then Twitter's stock shut up and then a couple days later
17:29
he was like I'm probably not going to join the board actually and then they
17:34
were like people were like why and he said ah it's just Twitter's kind of a
17:37
mess to be honest I don't think I can do any good with it and then which is not
17:42
good for Twitter to have him out there saying that so then their stock
17:45
plummeted and then he came out and said uh well he announced on Twitter he said
17:50
I've I've made an offer to buy Twitter and he said Y and the letter says
17:54
basically the gist gist of it is I don't think I can effectively make Twitter good
17:59
by just being on the board I think I need to own it and take it private and I
18:03
think it's very important for democracy and I think basically you guys are make
18:06
doing a [ __ ] job I'll offer you x amount it was I mean it's a lot of money it was
18:10
a lot of money but then at the end of it he says this is my final offer and if
18:14
you say no I might have to reconsider my position as a
18:19
shareholder which stock goes crazy again basically exactly he's basically saying
18:24
I'll [ __ ] tank your stock if you don't sell them you can't and he can do
18:27
it he can [ __ ] do it I know he's got in trouble a lot for doing tweets like
18:32
that and going hey I know this is not a tweet he literally made an offer he it's
18:38
a document that he posted on Twitter it's not just a tweet he's literally
18:41
told this company but Luke's right though the man the man can shift stocks
18:46
with a tweet he could just go oh I might put a couple more bucks into this and
18:49
then suddenly like M it' be inside of
18:53
trading if it wasn't so publicly done well look what happened with Bitcoin hey
18:58
Tesla's going to start accepting Bitcoin Dogecoin Dogecoin he does this no but
19:03
that's what I'm saying I don't know I don't know if he's cuz he's got so much
19:06
money I don't know what sometimes I'm like is he just doing this to show
19:10
everybody that this is stupid like when actually I think part of reason why he's
19:15
wanting to spend so much money is he's upset he's about to get taxed more he
19:19
he's always upset about that that is true cuz he's got so much money and he's
19:23
he's he he's sort of against taxing the rich people cuz he goes we're already
19:28
put putting so much back into the world yeah so now I think he thing is I'm just
19:32
going to spend all this money which right and then you can't have it like he
19:36
sold all his hous [ __ ] I remember his ex-wife came out and said oh he really
19:39
doesn't live like a millionaire you know he just lives and I'm like well I mean
19:42
you say that but he's out there wielding his power like yes maybe he doesn't have
19:47
the biggest house on the Block but he he certainly lives he had 12 houses until
19:52
Grimes convinced him to sell all of them and live in a little tiny house yeah and
19:56
only because she's a communist that apparently
20:02
so so I don't know what I don't know I I don't know how I feel about this right
20:05
cuz on the one hand I mean I think it's hilarious bring it on maybe Twitter
20:09
would be an better off without So Many Cooks you know what's the problem with
20:14
TW because I've not been on for Twitter for years I just I don't know I don't
20:18
know but what's what's what's the problem someone says something everyone yells at
20:23
them yeah I don't know what he thinks the problem is I think may maybe it's
20:28
that they sway too much to the social pressure think I could sort of see if he
20:33
he thinks they're too left or something yeah so maybe that's what he's saying
20:36
it's become like a a leftist um Echo chamber cuz everyone yeah it could be
20:40
that it could be that but I don't see yeah that's the only thing I could
20:46
cuz it's just a Cess pool of people just yelling at each other all I can see I
20:50
think maybe you know there's this thing lately where Twitter's Banning you know
20:55
Trump and certain right-wing people and there's this certainly perception that
20:59
they're censoring people whether you you know whether you think that's legit or
21:04
not so maybe that's what he's talking about I don't know I mean theyve they've
21:07
got bylaws against hate speech and misinformation yeah yeah but I think
21:14
yeah the problem is I yeah I guess I don't really know where he's coming from
21:17
that's how I I don't when I was I woke up I saw that he had put that letter in
21:22
and said I'll buy it or I'll [ __ ] you and um and I laughed and then I was like
21:27
I don't know how I feel about this m like it's kind I try and look at Twitter
21:31
every now again and he shouldn't have the get it power
21:36
to do that you know it's weird I don't think he should anyway I could be wrong
21:43
no no one should except me yeah obviously and then by extension Dan and
21:49
I cuz we could just say as long as you run it past me first yeah can I F we can
21:53
convin couple of billion to borrow to buy Twitter and you like yeah maybe a
21:58
few what are you going to do with that oh probably just let the Nazis run wild
22:01
on it yeah sure why not yeah yeah I just speech how do how does Twitter make
22:08
money I still don't understand I have no idea I have no that sounds like that
22:11
sounds like so much money how does this podcast make money
22:16
Finance it doesn't Matt we we ask people really why you don't ask me questions
22:21
like that yeah well no one's giving us a billion dollars to to sell it to Elon
22:25
Musk although Elon if you want to buy this podcast for a billion dollar we will
22:31
patreon.com as we have told many times in the past we will sell out in an
22:36
instant out a tier just buy the whole [ __ ] thing yeah I don't know what
22:39
this means maybe once he's bought it we're not allowed to um just all tweet
22:43
that JK ring is a homophobe or a transphobe well she's been winging this
22:49
week too and I do think it's funny because she says she's been
22:55
cancelled however she's [ __ ] everywhere she's got books and movies coming out
23:01
and like what do you think canel means jking so I I did know that there's a new
23:07
Fantastic Beasts movie I saw the trailer for it actually looks quite good except
23:11
I that or she just collecting a check for that that's that's was my question
23:16
how involved everyone knows it's her like it's like I don't know no are these
23:22
books or are these just movies now I think these are just movies now she's
23:26
still writing books though based on books no but is she writing Harry Potter
23:32
books she wrote she wrote at least one Fantastic Beasts book that I know of
23:37
maybe she wrote more I don't know I feel like she wrote she wrote a I think she
23:40
wrote these movies I I don't think she did oh I didn't think she did I think I
23:44
thought this was just Universal the 100% wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
23:49
Them which is a book okay which is what they're based on I don't know if she
23:53
wrote the movies themselves ah yeah I think she wrote that one and then she
23:57
also wrote that that one that was a play but I think that's sort of child no but
24:03
she still writes books no and the screenplays for these movies I was
24:07
saying and she's still writing books and she's also was W books is not being
24:11
canell no she's fine she's fine oh Ezra
24:15
Miller's in this oh God we'll see but it's just that every time she
24:21
goes on Twitter and complains about trans people people get mad at her and
24:24
so I mean just I mean deal with it there are plenty of people who are
24:31
supporting her as well like you know just I don't know it just seems
24:35
silly I think she does she want to be cancelled I don't know just maybe is that the
24:41
problem I can't even remember what she said she didn't say she didn't like
24:44
trans people did she she just said that surely there's a difference between a
24:48
trans woman and a CIS woman she's no she's she's gotten gone further down
24:54
this R down she she for some it it seems like she thinks that trans people are
24:59
just trying to cop take away her rights in well I don't know if we talked about
25:04
this a little bit but I think she she has apparently suffered abuse in the
25:09
past and so she's got some funny ideas about what men might do to to get to
25:13
women and I think that's where it all comes from yeah I think yeah she came
25:17
from a very Beau of relationship with her husband I believe yeah and so she's
25:21
very vocally against you know
25:25
letting men in her opinion into women bathrooms and things like that and it's
25:30
like well that's not what this is though but she's she thinks it is she thinks
25:34
it's just a bunch of like hyper masculine perverts trying to be in the
25:39
stall next to her yeah they're just going to extreme lengths to look at some
25:43
which women my heart argument with that is if people are going to do that
25:46
they're not they're just going to do that it doesn't matter whether those
25:50
perverts aren't fighting for their rights it's it's just very I don't know
25:56
I think have you ever spoken into a trans person JK rling probably not yeah
26:03
so I I just don't know where she's coming from she's fine she's not I mean
26:07
I have I have heard this like Ultra feminist argument that says like men
26:12
think they can do anything even become a woman yes yes that's her that's her
26:17
point of view from what I understand yes they're trying to take that from her as
26:20
well yeah I think there is certainly she has the right to have that conversation
26:26
with the world but the world has answered her and said it's not like that
26:32
yeah so yeah it's not it's that's not what this is not the patriarchy also
26:39
that's what's happening it's not she's not being cancelled she's fine people
26:42
are just telling her no you're wrong we disagree stop canceling me but the way
26:47
she's having the conversation is she's having it on Twitter which is not a way
26:52
to have a conversation cuz that's you write something and it might be
26:56
something that might give some people's no people just going to go and attack
27:00
you if you want to have this conversation maybe get in contact with
27:04
people or an organization and have a conversation I I think I mean at this
27:09
level she doesn't actually care what people think of her opinion right she
27:14
wrote a series of blog posts and stuff a while back that basically like I said I
27:18
that's where I got this idea that she's this is this comes from some thing in
27:22
her past because she talks about it a little bit in there so I feel like I
27:28
don't know I cut her a bit of slack just on that but I still but then now it's at
27:32
this point it's just like she's just being silly at this point I think she's
27:36
like why are you doubling down on this yeah I mean look there's conversations
27:41
to be had it's fine if you don't understand ask ask on Twitter the world
27:45
will tell you like if you say I don't understand how this works ask Twitter
27:49
you'll be [ __ ] told you'll be
27:52
told don't ask on Twitter ask a person
27:57
ask oranization do that what I'd like the one thing the only question that I
28:02
have coming up is is I I've noticed that there's a lot of trans women in sports
28:06
now and I I do tend to think that that perhaps give you a certain tactical
28:11
advantage that is perhaps considered unfair but who am I to [ __ ] I mean
28:18
that's a that's a Hot Topic at the moment and I don't think we're going to
28:21
solve it so I haven't solved it in the agree I think yeah I think there's
28:27
certainly something there I just don't know what it is you know yeah and it's
28:30
been quite confusing cuz there's actually been cases of people who born
28:33
female who do have a high amount of testosterone and they're going well
28:36
according to the rules that you're bringing in I can't compete as a female
28:40
even though I was born a female and and
28:44
female so it is one of these very turns out humans are [ __ ] weird and
28:49
complicated yeah yeah that's right yeah but yeah but don't go on Twitter and ask
28:54
actually get in contact with an organization get in contact with some
28:59
bias get on Twitter just get on Twitter go on Twitter F it's
29:04
Fine's going promot this is what elon's going to fix yeah he's going to fix it
29:09
no cuz I dread anytime I go on Twitter I'll see a post and I go yep and now I'm
29:14
going to look into the comments and then I die look at the comments anything and
29:18
there'll be some [ __ ] with in there always yeah and then there's fights
29:22
backwards and forwards and I I love I've seen people fighting against themselves
29:27
that's everywhere on the internet that's [ __ ] oh man the um I I used to know a
29:32
guy Mitch used to work in our operations department at s SPS um and he was what
29:38
would later become known as an influencer but this was early days of
29:42
the internet right but when we found out that he had this like YouTube channel
29:46
his name was camera boy one word and boy was Boi and he was quite famous back in
29:52
the day and um used to get several million views on each of his videos and
29:56
we were like what when we found out and then he's like yeah but most of them
30:01
hate me like we were like what do you mean he's like most of the people who
30:05
subscribe to my channel and watch my videos hate me just read the comments
30:08
and then you just look down and it's just like you're a [ __ ] you're a [ __ ]
30:12
shut UPG like yeah that's what the internet has become just people getting
30:18
there's a guy at my work who had Channel and he told he was he we're talking
30:22
having I think we're having a beer after work one day and he said oh I've got a
30:24
YouTube channel actually and I was like oh yeah and he said yeah yeah I get a
30:27
few views and then we pulled it up and he goes yeah people comment and stuff
30:30
and I scroll down and the the top cor was just like what a and then and he was
30:34
like scroll back bit of that yeah you just that's yeah that's the worst thing
30:41
about the still the your Anonymous on the internet and what you say doesn't
30:46
matter and if even death threats oh it's only a joke I didn't mean it yeah yeah
30:51
no account easy yeah yeah speaking of threats oh I I saw this article and I
30:57
can me I cons I am threatening you I consider not putting this in here
31:01
because sexually harassing someone is never funny unless perhaps it's Gary
31:08
Coleman tiny black [ __ ] trying to sexually harass you in which case there
31:12
is an element of humor that I just can't
31:16
avoid I still don't think it's funny well but I can see what you mean yeah
31:22
like Molly Shannon has has come out and said that when she was very young Molly
31:27
Shannon I do too she's great and she's come out and said that when she was
31:30
young she was put on the same agency as Gary Coleman and evidently he he took a
31:36
l to her and said oh I wouldn't mind her visiting me in my hotel room um which
31:42
evidently she didn't see as a red flag but you know then again let's not victim
31:46
blame well yeah back cuz back in the day that was a normal thing I mean they were
31:51
also all being molested but we just didn't know about it then and that's
31:55
what I'm sort of yeah right that was the so and also but back in the day this was
32:00
called being a creep it wasn't called sexual harassment which is now what we
32:04
what we call it retroactively but she went there and he and again I'm trying
32:09
not to find the humor in this but she goes in he's laying on the bed and he
32:14
goes come over here and tickle me like he's it's like he's trying to make it
32:19
like cute and midgy and stuff instead of he wasn't going full Cosby which is just
32:24
like here's my [ __ ] now no he didn't drug her and while she slept like Cosby
32:29
did no he he went more of the Weinstein angle which is why don't you just start
32:33
with giving me a massage and we'll see where it goes but evidently um she sat
32:38
on the bed and he got on top of her and tried to force her down um but because
32:44
he has no strength and weighs practically nothing she was able to very
32:48
easily throw him away and she said I never felt physically threatened but I
32:53
just didn't like the fact that wild Gary Coleman was trying me but you want to
32:58
know the worst thing I find about this is yes nothing happened
33:03
here but something would have happened with other people that were sent to his
33:08
hotel room because yes and something only didn't happen because he's a
33:13
dwarf also so you can just say she's all right I would mind if she came to my
33:18
hotel room and then and they send her up hotel room like all right I think if
33:23
you're famous in the 80s that's exactly how it worked Matt [ __ ] hell I'm
33:27
sorry to say yeah I'd like yeah I'd like to meet this person could you send her up maybe
33:32
she yeah see if I can do anything so I
33:36
can't do that you could try mat but um well here's the thing right because I
33:42
not not that I ever thought about sexually harassing anyone but I
33:47
certainly wouldn't do it now let's be very clear about that like if if I was
33:52
ever going to do it it's definitely not in my 2022 [ __ ] C
33:58
right sure and yet Frank Lela an actor
34:01
who I quite like uh has just been fired Midway off a series I was very
34:08
interested in watching because I love edaran Poe they're going to recast for
34:12
half the episodes cuz he started trying to molest one of the other cast members
34:16
what are you [ __ ] thinking does it what is it clear about what he did so
34:22
yeah no I I like I've got a play bill from when he was Dracula framed in the
34:26
wall out there so so he was a great Dracula particularly shitty yeah news
34:32
but like he's 84 and he was making inappropriate I love him in that Roman
34:38
penky movie too which is tragic on a whole other level I saw a tweet the
34:42
other day that said um knowing that Roman palansky was affected by not only
34:49
the Nazis but also the Manson family is an interesting thing to consider just it
34:56
is interesting thing consider full stop consider it quietly to yourself yeah
35:01
consider it quietly to yourself and then still continue to condemn his behavior
35:05
I'm just saying that is like a what a [ __ ] Wild Life yeah anyway but but
35:10
getting back to Frank I guarantee you he was someone who probably had actresses
35:15
come up to his hotel room was he wearing the Skeletor mask I think and it says
35:20
here he was making inappropriate comments which obviously is not okay but
35:24
I don't know that he was actually you know old school I don't think he was
35:28
Gary Coleman you know I think he was just being a coin of popular phrase he
35:33
was just being a creepy old man to get to the to get to the point of you're
35:38
Fired oh these days I don't think so I don't think so these days I I don't
35:43
think they do that on a like a first thing I think you're an 84y old man and
35:47
you go why don't you come over here and sit on my lap you could get fired yeah
35:52
but Matt you deserve to be fired for that I think at this point with
35:58
now as with you I agree with you oh it doesn't sound like you agree with Luke
36:02
saying Luke's saying oh I think he tried to touch him you could get fired for
36:05
[ __ ] anything now guys no no no no what I'm saying is if it would have been
36:10
he would have got a warning of speaking to first it's not he would have said one
36:14
thing and you're off it's hold on no you can't say that anymore and then he
36:20
probably would have persisted or gone a different angle and they're sort of like
36:23
you're not getting this is you don't do this anymore M yeah it's not something
36:29
you can just get away with now no no I agree I'm just saying that like I don't
36:34
think he he was doing more than that there's no indication that he doing more
36:39
than that that I agree that that's enough but I just want to be clear with
36:42
the audience that we're not suggesting that he was like yeah doing anything
36:46
other than just being I'm just I'm just sort of saying
36:49
Speak he's a big man is he even at 84 years old he's still a threatening
36:54
character he's massive his R to fame like ah he probably did he probably did
37:00
I would put it past him no what I'm saying was if you're a young actress on
37:04
a set and big old Frankl Angela came up and was like sit on my [ __ ] lap I
37:09
know I know I would feel like a [ __ ] hand you're right as well but say no one
37:13
is saying that he did anything other than make inappropriate comments I don't
37:17
know why what comments are he grew up in the 70s he probably like no nobody's
37:22
saying he did anything other than making appropriate comments which is still
37:26
wrong and he got fired for in this one instance is what we're saying all all
37:30
I'm saying is is back in the day those comments he would have been saying would
37:34
have been something that would have just been y that's that's acceptable then
37:37
good old saying he's probably been doing that for 50 years did he ask you to sit
37:42
on his lap no he will yeah back when you could smoke in the office and slap a
37:48
secretary on the ass the the the tragic one to me and obviously it's awful no
37:52
matter when it happens but it's worse when it happens to someone that you just
37:55
didn't think was like that and not I'm saying Jella but like when it when it
37:59
came out that um Jerry Lewis was like molesting people it was like really
38:04
Jerry Lewis and it was like was very bad to he was just one of those Louis CK my
38:09
dicks out what are you going to do with it and it's like I don't even want to
38:12
think about Jerry Lewis having a dick
38:16
you know like yeah he's asexual in my
38:20
mind mhm he's dead in mine g but dead with a dick or dead without
38:27
he's dead isn't he yeah he is that's unclear yeah it's unclear why that
38:32
matters at this point so yeah Frankl Angela fired from
38:37
Fall of house the fall I'll take over user which is a shame well yeah not a
38:43
shame because he should have got away with it it's a shame because I liked
38:46
Frank lella now but yeah look I'm I'm
38:49
prepared to take over his role I'm I'm available I look I think Christopher
38:56
Plumber should just take over any 's role who gets fired from a movie now for
38:59
this because what happens if he comes out I say wait wait till someone comes
39:04
for he's he's sitting at home going I'm so [ __ ] I am a Sitting
39:09
Duck are any of these women still alive have we checked you you joke Matt and I'm not
39:16
saying Christopher Plumber is guilty of that but there must be old school
39:19
[ __ ] 70s producers and stuff sitting there going it is a miracle no one's
39:24
100% any day it could happen yeah which is and there must be actors like going
39:29
with people going please don't offer me a job I just don't want to be famous
39:33
again because the second my name is in the papers someone's going to be like oh
39:37
that guy yeah he molested me yeah I feel like if you have
39:43
skeletons like that just go away that's the best thing go away yeah well
39:48
actually no sorry that's the best thing for you yeah I think probably the best
39:52
thing is if you do get outed but yeah yeah it's not that the casting
39:59
couch is was a real thing and it's a terrible thing yeah Luke knows firsthand
40:05
yeah could clean that thing afterwards in given some really great
40:10
roles he knows he remembers what he had to do I've got footage of what he had to
40:15
do but I don't I don't get to keep the footage they do that's right you can
40:20
have the footage to have to show you come over and watch it come over to my
40:23
hotel room right now and watch it give me a little tickle while you're doing it
40:28
you I'm outing dead you made me do some terrible stuff on fil I've had footage
40:34
of you getting terrible stuff done to you since we were kids mate
40:39
like I don't know well you never never put up any objection don't worry we're
40:43
just going to film this we don't have to worry it's no one's going to see it this
40:46
is just for us I feel why does that make this better at some point at some point
40:52
you have to accept responsibility for like for you didn't question that
40:58
yeah but I st in my head what why does that make it better I'm doing this just
41:02
for your per verion not even for the film my favorite
41:07
thing about this whole conversation is that the audience doesn't know what
41:09
we're talking about yeah that's right and it made it in the film to be fair it
41:15
wasn't in the first cut and then when I remembered I had the footage and like
41:18
Dave and I watched the first cut of um bleed through we like it is a bit boring
41:24
what can we what have we got to this up and we're like
41:30
[ __ ] all which way we could put that in well like how does that fit into the
41:36
story like it's a flashback it's a dream
41:41
sequence everything needs more Luke I mean Matt you you you laugh but I've got
41:47
footage of you [ __ ] dead bodies like
41:51
yeah H in a film acting
41:58
that's a and we clear that's a that is a live friend of
42:04
ours she was a consenting yeah actress she really not
42:10
dead at the time I about we move on to something else yeah can we talk about
42:16
the fact that the [ __ ] nft bubble has finally burst and this just makes me
42:20
joyous absolutely joyous I this seemed inevitable to me because I just don't
42:26
know I I cuz you weren't buying anything getting
42:30
anything or you were but was you weren't I listen to a podcast uh earlier this
42:37
week um on the this the Ezra Klein
42:42
podcast with uh what's the guy's name it's the guy who does uh folding ideas
42:46
on YouTube and he did a great YouTube video about nfts and and crypto and
42:51
stuff and about how he thinks it's just mostly just a scam
42:57
and he's right 90% of them literally are scams like for example the squid game
43:02
one where it was literally just a scam and isn't the Bitcoin one like there's
43:06
just that one account that has like billions upon billions of dollars from
43:11
the person who created who they don't know who it is and he could just cash
43:14
out and the whole thing collapses well I mean yeah and like no one there's no way
43:21
he spend Bitcoin on anything in particular like it's just like I don't
43:24
know it's just this weird situation where everyone's suddenly for some
43:27
reason everyone's decided bitcoin's very valuable but it's not it's not anything
43:32
and like the whole world just turn around and go you know what let's all
43:35
sell Bitcoin that we have and actually you know what there's not that much
43:39
money yeah like cuz at least we have the stock market like you're actually
43:44
there's money going into a business that can use it and make it yeah there's a
43:49
tangible asset attached to it but Bitcoin is just today I say this is
43:54
worth $100 and then tomorrow it's worth and then 3 days it's 10,000 it's I
44:00
completely agree with you and yet that's how the economy works with real money as
44:04
well if all of us if everyone in this country went in and withdrew from the
44:09
bank the amount of money their account said they have not everyone would get
44:13
their money well that's literally happened in history in in the US in
44:16
particular yes and it was very very bad
44:21
yeah it didn't go well but I love the headline this is the guardian this is
44:25
the the way the guardian reported this man who paid $2.9 million for nft set to
44:30
lose almost $2.9 million because it's not worth anything the NF in question is
44:36
Jack dorsey's first tweet God he bought Jack dorsey's first tweet which if
44:42
you're wondering was y'all setting up my Twitter
44:47
um a lot of these people that went out and spel and spent this much money on
44:51
this stuff well all rich people go I need to get on this quickly but they
44:56
didn't realize that just because they owned it doesn't mean that other people
45:01
still can't use the image use the tweet no of course they being sold on this myth
45:07
that's what that's what this this guy's talking about like there's that famous
45:11
you know the ape thing and the the board apes and all that kind of stuff and then
45:14
there's this um yeah was it the very famous nft that was like a it was like a
45:20
mosaic of all of those that sold for some something million dollars and it
45:26
was the biggest nft sale at the time and the person or people who bought it used
45:32
it as tokens like pieces of the image as tokens for a new cryptocurrency that
45:38
then then sold to a bunch of people and then they made a bunch of more money and
45:42
so like it it's just a Ponzi scheme so what we should go with is what my idea
45:48
of is this should be used as a way to keep track of their digital purchases so
45:53
I can buy an album online but then I can also sell on or
45:59
gift that to someone else sure but you could do that as well like no I can't I
46:05
can't I can't sell a movie because they don't no but that's the thing is that
46:12
like this is not a problem that needs to be solved outside of say you if you own
46:16
it on say you own on your Xbox right and you want to sell it to someone else say
46:20
you want to sell it to Dan the only reason you can't do that is cuz
46:22
Microsoft don't let you not because you need nft to I think this is a this this
46:26
could be a way to sort of get that conversation to happen I think if they
46:30
do it right that's why I'm confused do I would love to give I would I I'm I'm
46:36
saying we don't need nfts to do that oh no I'm not but I'm just saying it'd be
46:41
good to have maybe if just could start the conversation for that maybe but
46:47
why because cuz Xbox actually tried to do this already in the past remember
46:51
when Xbox One first came out they were going to allow us what what if nfts got
46:56
to do with this he's saying we could we could use the
46:59
blockchain we could use the blockchain to to start trading need the blockchain
47:04
you can just do it that's what I'm saying the blockchain is just just
47:07
because people are talking about it I guess maybe yeah you talking about it
47:11
but that but then it's still a scam like you don't need yeah I I'm just like the
47:16
conversation I just want I want to be able to gift you guys one of the
47:20
thousands of games I own that I've played that I'm never saying is that
47:23
nfts have nothing to do with that nfts have nothing to yeah you don't need nfts
47:27
to do that you need to convince Microsoft to let you do do do it
47:31
Microsoft originally going to do it with Xbox one you got to you could loan games
47:36
yeah you got to be able to even sell games and they that would take a cut but
47:41
the whole thing is at the time you had to your Xbox had to connect to the
47:46
internet once every 24 hours and remember when the internet
47:50
lost its mind and then we lost the ability but how would NF bring back let
47:55
me gift games I own to people NS don't solve
48:00
that just give me your Xbox just give me your login Luke I'll just log in as you
48:04
I know and I'm not saying nft sold that I just wish that that could become a
48:09
conversation out of this scam of nfts people keep saying like concert tickets
48:14
could be nfts like why do we need concert tickets to be nfts you've got a
48:17
[ __ ] account with Ticket Master or ticket Tech yeah this is a solved
48:20
problem what do you need an NF for I just I don't understand what you what
48:24
they're talking about if I need to sell ticket that I own I could do it already
48:30
they just don't let me it's not that nfts are solving anything it's just that
48:35
the the ticket Tech won't let me sell it because they don't want me they want to sell more
48:42
tickets like it's it I don't and oh yeah that that should be the conversation not
48:47
about people buying nothing cuz effectively that's what
48:52
people are buying when they're buying nfts bu thing is different yeah this
48:56
particular guy whose name is Cena stavi
49:00
who is a crypto entrepreneur whatever that means um he bought Jack dorsey's
49:05
first tweet for $2.9 million because he said this is the Mona Lisa of the
49:10
digital world his his words W um he was
49:14
hoping to sell it for 48 million so from 2.9 Million to 48 million the highest
49:20
bid he got was for 6.8 th000
49:25
so um and he is now saying that he has chosen not to go ahead with the sale
49:31
because he only wants true connoisseurs of nfts to own this he wouldn't sell it
49:37
to just anyone no Matt it wasn't because of that he he'll assure you it wasn't
49:42
because of that it or wasn't if he thought this was worth $48 million why
49:46
did he only pay 2.9 for it and where's he got that figure from he's pulled it
49:50
out of his ass cuz it's all a big [ __ ] nonsense because here's the
49:54
thing look I don't know who he bought this off but whomever he bought this off
49:59
did he buy it off Jack dorsy did dck dorsy just go and take a screenshot of
50:04
his first same thing that happened with um Matt's music exactly you can buy my
50:08
music as an nft I have nothing to do with it but apparently someone took it
50:11
upon themselves to sell my music well I've bought one M would would you buy it
50:15
back off me for $48 million do you know why they were able to do that cuz it's
50:18
all a big [ __ ] scam even even even with your music online um PewDiePie had
50:24
made music or something that he you going to say PewDiePie my music I was
50:28
like no PewDiePie or some some I don't know some YouTube stre had Creed music
50:33
he's gone like yep guys use it go crazy for it but someone else claimed a
50:38
copyright on his behalf and started putting copyright shs on other things
50:42
and I was actually saying some organization is claims copyright on
50:47
behalf of but it's not him right that sounds like war music was doing with
50:52
happy birthday for a hundred years until they got pointed out that they do not
50:55
own the rights to it that's pretty much it and for him what
51:00
he's not going to go fight it because well he doesn't he wasn't selling it he
51:04
didn't it wasn't something that he was trying to make money of it was something
51:07
he just put out there so he's not going to go fight it cuz that would cost him
51:11
money to go and go what the hell are you doing that's actually mine and I gave it
51:16
away andet terrible put me in when um mobile
51:22
phones were just a new thing um and you know the digital sounds that your
51:27
keyboards make when you type a number on an old phone people could make music on them
51:34
yeah so one guy one guy created an algorithm that identified every possible
51:38
combination of notes that you could make with an 8-digit phone number and then he
51:45
tried to patent those Tunes um with the
51:48
intention of suing anyone who used Made Who call yeah who used a phone and
51:54
therefore was infringing on his copyrighted music without permission
51:58
yeah well that's that that that give some crit that that takes a bit of
52:03
effort though he actually did something the computer did it for him I think once
52:07
he written yeah but he still he did something others yeah
52:13
yeah yeah like the people who brought the rights to cabara sits in the old gum
52:19
tree that's right from Girl Guides and then sued Men at Work whereas they for a
52:26
song so they brought they brought the rights I think like in in the 2010s or
52:32
something this men work song had been around since the 70s no one had a
52:37
problem but the second they brought the rights you now owe us money and it's
52:41
really well yeah maybe cuz that's how the in that case yes yeah that's right
52:48
copy copyright laws have gone from something to protect artists to a
52:52
commodity to trade and sell like [ __ ] nft to be if yeah if you're buying it
52:59
and that's already known and nothing's happened there you just you accept that
53:03
that's there and you move on listeners if I'm missing something about nfts WR
53:08
in let me know podcast multip nasm.com cuz I don't get it if you'd like to buy
53:13
our nfts let us know don't have any I'm not we don't know what they are or how
53:18
to sell them let us know why you would want them yeah what benefit they give
53:24
you I just don't get it I don't know what we need them
53:28
for um it's someone just came up a good idea to make money every use case people
53:34
put forward I'm like we already do that or we could do that like Twitter people
53:39
selling on N Twitter picture it's like
53:46
so I can I can still see the picture and I can retweet the picture and I can
53:51
exactly who gives a [ __ ] I just well here's the thing right so the other day
53:55
Harper has gotten really into Sesame Street right right no sophus no he's
54:02
there he's sophus is back from the dead no he's there no no they got rid of him
54:07
because he was um an imaginary friend and Big Bird used to tell his imaginary
54:13
friendly secrets and then SES gone that's a terrible idea for us to tell
54:19
children not big Sesame come in and said I don't put that no he's definitely
54:23
there s's there all all the old guys are there I think that possibly just they
54:29
redcon some of the old story lines perhaps but but watching Sesame Street
54:33
as an adult is hilarious like it's so clever they're really good I [ __ ]
54:37
Oscar the ground he's a homeless man he's a homeless man he lives on the
54:41
streets I haven't put any of that kind of stuff on fer maybe I should oh
54:45
they're really good she got this she got this Elmo book Zoe dashel was on an
54:50
episode that I watched yesterday oh he's trying to convince me are you I'm just
54:55
saying I think it probably worked as well um yeah maybe I'll check that out
54:59
season 10 she's got this she's got this Elmo book which you flip through it like
55:03
Elmo likes to dress up Elmo likes this Elmo likes that and then so we're
55:07
reading because she grabs It Off the Shelf she brings she decides what book
55:10
she wants she brings it over to me we read it so we get halfway through this
55:14
Elmo book and it gets to the page where it says these are Elmo's friends and
55:17
it's a photo of all you know like big bird and Bernie n and Grove and
55:20
everybody did you say Bernie and her yeah probably BT Ernie Grover
55:26
and uh allv she grabs the book and just like
55:32
licks the page like what was that and then just
55:38
back to me yeah I lied him yeah yeah um yeah I don't know when Elmo became the
55:44
lead cuz when Elmo was there when we were kids but he was everyone had equal
55:47
screen time that was just the [ __ ] Elmo show I think it was Tickle Me Elmo
55:51
was when he went and now he's also got this thing where he goes crazy about
55:55
that girl's pet rock rock yeah Rocky couldn't do that now now it's tickle me Gary
56:00
Coleman loses your [ __ ] over that pet rock I know how is Rock alive explain
56:07
that to Elmo Jesus um but I watched this retro
56:13
uh episode the other day I was I'm looking on YouTube for some old clips
56:17
but there's this one where this Shady dude on the street tries to sell um
56:22
Ernie the number eight and it's [ __ ] hilarious like hey you want to buy the
56:28
number eight and he's like yeah but that's essentially what it
56:32
is it's like you're just buying the idea of something right yeah so I mean in
56:37
answer to your question is like why are people selling these why are people
56:41
buying them like I can understand why somebody sells something that's why
56:45
people are selling them yeah totally cuz I remember when and I don't know if this
56:48
was real or not but um I know they at least made fun of it on on Comedy
56:53
Company so that's the only thing I know about this but compy was a '90s sketch
56:59
comedy show in Australia evidently Jason Donovan was selling jars of his own
57:05
breath right because he had so many fans like female fans who just like so he was
57:11
just getting old Vite jars taking the labels off breathing into them and and
57:15
selling them and people were buying this like B bath water yeah like the exactly
57:21
but see here's the thing why go to Bel deline and say why are you selling your
57:24
bath cuz people are [ __ ] buying it that's why are people buying NS that's I think
57:30
at the time we were saying we I don't think we were defending her at the time
57:34
she was doing it we're just saying it's justup defend right willing to do it go
57:39
for exactly I mean I hate living in a world where a woman can sell her [ __ ]
57:43
bath water but only because I think that's exactly but like it's like all
57:49
these cosplayers like like Jessica ner and that kind of stuff more power to him
57:52
if people want to just give them a bunch of money to dress in skimpy World of
57:58
Warcraft costumes [ __ ] go nuts like good on you yeah they found it way but
58:03
that's the thing that I'm jealous if you found out a way to sell people a [ __ ]
58:08
jpeg of something we can all look at online then how are you mate because so
58:14
and I think that's the thing that really just I really confuses us about the nfts
58:19
is you buy it you own it but everyone
58:23
can still use it and see it well I
58:27
guess definition of it's a scam I think
58:31
yeah just Rings true no let's talk about something that's not a scam we just say
58:36
oh yeah luk Luke's the boss Luke's the boss of the podcast he's definitely the
58:39
boss it's like doesn't mean anything like let's talk about something for few
58:45
weeks yeah obviously he is just shut up D A game that you've both been playing
58:50
and both enjoying there now gets a new sequel which I'm I'm attributing to us
58:55
talking about it oh you're saying that we have single-handedly boosted the
58:59
popularity of subnautica in the last three weeks yeah you could be right y to
59:04
the point that they have now put out a tweet asking for people to hey come work
59:09
in our next game have they mad at me yep do they do they want anyone with our
59:15
particular set of skills or do they only want game developers to come and work
59:19
for them they probably want people who you know how to make a game yeah I'll
59:22
just sit there going yeah I mean what if what if you you're swimming around for a
59:25
bit and then uh a yellow shark comes through what if one
59:30
of the one if one of the resources you have to collect is a little string of
59:33
poop that comes out of a fish when it's it's swimming around this tweet came out
59:37
on the 8th of April we've been talking about this since March so I'm just
59:40
saying Fair the time is right yep they're seeking a senior narrative
59:46
designer what does that mean is that something you could do I could design a
59:50
narrative yeah I don't have to because do it in a senior way yeah just design
59:56
it okay we're gonna start with the beginning yeah then we're gonna go and
1:00:01
we'll call that act one right or the beginning okay act two we'll call the
1:00:05
middle you've got a copy and you've got just below the you've got a copy of the
1:00:09
hero with a thousand faces I'm just quickly reading it yeah
1:00:14
yeah there needs to be a call to action
1:00:17
okay yeah an inciting incident refusal
1:00:21
of call yeah advice from old sage Sage
1:00:28
is that correct something like that yeah when you say a word and then suddenly
1:00:33
you're like I don't think I've ever said that out loud Sage yeah yeah like sage like Sage
1:00:39
advice right yeah absolutely it's not just the spice
1:00:44
correct from Dune um probably getting to the end of uh the main episode so I'll
1:00:50
just quickly I'll just quickly say that um over a 48 hour period of of me
1:00:57
getting very frustrated very excited giving up having another go I finally
1:01:03
got my old [ __ ] PC working very good I have a PC in my house now what was
1:01:07
wrong with it there was some kind of corruption I couldn't boot into Windows
1:01:11
Windows needed to be reinstalled on it so you blasted it but it doesn't have a
1:01:15
dick dick Drive doesn't have a drive I mean it's got a dick Drive doesn't have
1:01:20
a disc yeah yeah I mean there's a dig in it that's that's for damn sure it wasn't
1:01:25
until I took the dick out that it started working that's right also I could focus
1:01:30
a lot more now do you have a PC or do you have like that's running Windows now
1:01:37
it does run Windows now only Windows uh but it but more importantly more
1:01:42
importantly it also runs the old Amiga because I just desperately needed to
1:01:47
save myself $200 um buy the Amiga uh A500 mini you know what's going to
1:01:53
happen now go on you're going to use that emulator for about 5 minutes and
1:01:58
then you're going to use that to justify buying the igga you're going to be like
1:02:03
this is as fun as I thought it would be yeah well here's the thing right so I I
1:02:08
did some research I found where the best Amiga emulator is I loaded that on I
1:02:12
learned how to use it I've spent last night frantically downloading ROMs and
1:02:16
by that I mean creating dis images out of games that I own legitimately and
1:02:20
have the um floppy discs off in my home of course of course and uh
1:02:26
hook my Xbox controller up to it so I could play it more uh in the style of
1:02:32
the old game I mean Amiga just had a single button on a joystick um but it's
1:02:37
also so I was playing Batman the movie by ocean software this morning I mean
1:02:41
you guys can have all your Arkham games and play them as much as you want but I
1:02:45
think the Pinnacle of Batman games was 1989 Batman the movie for the Omega um
1:02:50
also available on c64 I believe yeah yeah oh I assure you it was yeah CU
1:02:56
that's where I played it Matt do you think one or two weeks before he comes
1:03:00
on and tells us he's G out and purchased the from my Amiga
1:03:06
yeah that's right well here's the thing here's okay so two two things number one
1:03:12
I was playing Batman and a pinnacle part of the Batman the game is using the
1:03:18
grappling hook to swing onto platforms right you need to be able to go
1:03:25
diagonally right you have to be able to go diagonally the Oma 500 mini comes
1:03:31
with not a joystick a controller oh with
1:03:34
four buttons up down left and right now I'm sure you can get a diagonal by
1:03:41
mushing the up and side buttons simultaneously but that is not ideal
1:03:46
that's how it used to work yeah but even the old Sega Master System pad you it
1:03:50
still had the diagonal yeah the Nintendo didn't not the original ones the
1:03:56
the original ones had the plus sign you could you would have to it was you could
1:04:01
still push diagonal but this isn't a plus the plus side you could still lean
1:04:06
into it this is four buttons yeah the Master System was good because you could
1:04:10
go on the diagonal but yeah my Master System Too had the kind of rounded Edge
1:04:15
yes almost like a diamond yeah round diamond I think it was the I think it
1:04:21
was the was it the Mega Drive that actually had it then oh God the Mega
1:04:25
Drive was more of a a for American listeners that's the Genesis genis was
1:04:30
more of a yeah like a what do you call that like a plus sign but Dad yeah d-pad
1:04:36
yeah but still it was easy uh I think Nintendo definitely was just plus sign n
1:04:42
yeah oh and the Super Nintendo too actually right yeah the Super Nintendo
1:04:46
also or the famicom if you're if you're from Japan and the super ficon yeah it's
1:04:51
true for a Japanese listener yeah you're going to buy one my I I've consider
1:04:57
you're talking yourself into it just by doing this considered buying it knowing
1:05:02
I won't play it just to have it on my [ __ ] shelf I want it so badly now
1:05:07
you've done the emulator you're now going to use it you're going to play it
1:05:10
and go see I'm using it I will I I will it's
1:05:15
Pro and it's still just going to go and sit on the Shelf cuz well I've got the
1:05:19
emulator I can't figure out what to do with my atar
1:05:23
so use for it put money on it yeah wait you about $200
1:05:30
on money I need what I need for it birthday's coming up 250 you could come
1:05:36
out on top then yeah that's right um so from now on I'm only going to play games
1:05:41

1:05:47
