[00:00:00] President Biden, there's a national crisis, game card hookers online trying to sell their

[00:00:08] pussy to make ends meet.

[00:00:11] It's a travesty sir.

[00:00:43] of Dogs Barking.

[00:00:48] Just driving home the other day and there was a Ford truck in front of me.

[00:00:52] It had a bumper sticker on it that said something real curious.

[00:00:54] Okay.

[00:00:55] And it's one of those things, you know you maybe see it on the internet and you're

[00:00:58] I'm never gonna see that in real life this guy brand new truck absolutely just designed to just murder children and dogs

[00:01:04] Like you can't your blind spot over the front of that hood has to be like 20 feet

[00:01:10] You know what I'm talking about right? Oh, yeah, no five foot flat grille

[00:01:14] Yeah, just like God forbid some kid like drops a yugioh car in that street. He is getting murked

[00:01:20] Yeah, and that guy you won't even know because the suspension is so cushy

[00:01:24] See this truck on the bumper on the chrome of this bumper. Okay, the bumper sticker says

[00:01:30] Only gay cops pull me over but my dude here in this truck

[00:01:38] He's got like a 10-foot layer out of the bed

[00:01:41] He looks like he probably had like a standard 7 or 8 foot bed

[00:01:44] Okay, so he's got that sticking out over the tailgate being got like the little red flag ding on off of it

[00:01:50] I'm like, I'm trying to get his hog worked on. Yeah. Yeah, he's cruising

[00:01:56] Check the hanky code that dude was trying to get his dick suck gay. He trying to live out that power fantasy

[00:02:05] You saw the bumper sticker, right? Oh you want we want me pull over to a second location. Okay, I see over here behind the bushes

[00:02:12] Yes, sir. You see my license registration. Oh, no, you just oh you just grabbing it yourself. Okay

[00:02:19] Is that a night stick in your pocket yeah, yeah and so on yeah

[00:02:23] On the gate I wonder if that works I always feel like very weird like hyper masculine places have some

[00:02:31] Sexual subtext. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like I always feel like I go to the Home Depot

[00:02:38] They're all like hot wife guys or they're like it just feels like it feels like that's that's where like the leathery dudes

[00:02:44] Working on their porch go to wife swap. I feel like there's a big wife swapping culture

[00:02:50] I feel like there's a big like foreign object insertion culture like when you go like Harbor Freight or Granger

[00:02:56] Yeah, they're real fucking machine vibe at Granger for sure

[00:02:59] Yeah

[00:03:00] Cuz you know I look how I look I had a job where I would have to go to Granger to pick up parts like

[00:03:04] And there's always be like these older guys over at the table

[00:03:07] Way away from where I have to go to the pickup desk, but they all kind of like look at me like over their

[00:03:12] Shoulder yeah, I'm like the motherfuckers looking at the bad dragon catalog, right?

[00:03:16] This is turbo team you can't yeah

[00:03:19] I've got those looks too cuz I you know looking like how I look and going to the Home Depot

[00:03:24] I just these guys are clearly contractors. You know they're just they're they're doing whatever and like especially

[00:03:31] For whatever reason the guys in windows are always doing something

[00:03:35] And they're and they're too busy to help you know yeah, they're they're watching like inflation porn

[00:03:41] on their on their

[00:03:44] Work iPad they're browsing an archive of our own under the you know sonic and preg

[00:03:51] It's terrible. There's three new ones to Paul Blart

[00:04:03] Folks is free it is indeed. Oh boy, so yes welcome to show that's Brian. I'm Jason boy

[00:04:10] Oh boy, what a strange week on the internet it was it has been a strange week on the internet since the internet wasn't

[00:04:16] Bennett, but you know I

[00:04:17] Guess that just means things continue a pace as they would say it don't stop doing that

[00:04:23] They do not so one of the things that really drove me nuts this week. Do you remember the dress?

[00:04:30] Thing the bit people were going nuts about the color of the dress is it you know is it yellow and gold is it?

[00:04:36] This is one of those things that maybe kind of like not like the internet for a couple years, right?

[00:04:40] I was really tired this fucking I was tired this dress the first time I heard about it

[00:04:44] I like almost specifically remember like that point in my life like I don't want to check social media

[00:04:50] so now see the fucking dressed and like

[00:04:52] It really felt like

[00:04:55] Like really lowest common denominator type discussion on the internet

[00:05:00] Which is 90% lowest common denominator right so bottom of the bottom of the bottom of the barrel

[00:05:04] This is scraping it it was this guy strangled his wife. He did indeed so yes, so what you think does she think goes white then?

[00:05:12] Keir Johnson 38

[00:05:15] Pinned his wife grace to the ground this according to the BBC choking her and brandishing a knife at their home on a small

[00:05:22] Scottish island this was nine years ago the dress was according to this

[00:05:27] Yeah, so a picture of the dress worn by the mother of the bride at their wedding

[00:05:31] Sparks an internet debate over the color now. I'm just gonna go on record

[00:05:35] It was bad white balancing the dress is white just I'm gonna be you know blunt there, but

[00:05:41] It became such a big deal they went on Ellen they got a ten thousand dollars and a trip to Grenada

[00:05:47] But a little mother

[00:05:52] Dresses Wyatt

[00:05:54] Granda

[00:05:56] What my wife

[00:05:59] Brandish the knife

[00:06:06] The high court in Glasgow heard that Johnson had a history of abusing his wife

[00:06:10] He told the court March 6th of 2022 he'd been drinking at a pub quiz on the Isle of Colonsay

[00:06:18] First of all I know it's Colonsay, but it looks like colon say yeah

[00:06:23] In the in the inner

[00:06:25] Her brides yeah, it's head brides. I think it's he brides he brides, but it's spelled

[00:06:32] Hebrides so he brides so he's got he's doing a trip at Colonsay with the he brides

[00:06:40] And I don't like this version

[00:06:42] This is from the this must be the Scottish

[00:06:51] Essentially this man as his wife his wife the wife dialed 999

[00:06:59] Johnson a petrol station attendant and now living at month Moffat Dumfries and Galloway was expected to face trial

[00:07:06] But changed his plea and admittedly assaulting his wife

[00:07:11] To her injury and the danger of life

[00:07:14] Through his lawyer he applied for continued bail, but the judge remanded him in custody pending sentencing

[00:07:20] I'm afraid mr. Johnson the judge said your status has now changed

[00:07:23] You've been convicted of a very serious crime, and you will be remanded in the meantime oh boy

[00:07:31] So wow this shows you just can't hit your wife anymore. I know because of wokeness

[00:07:37] I

[00:07:39] Just can't you just can't do it

[00:07:40] I

[00:07:41] Keep my eye out for weird trends and things that are happening and more the ways I do that is by reading a gentleman

[00:07:46] By the name of Max Reed and his newsletter read max

[00:07:51] So one of the things that max Reed brought to my attention this week was a disturbing trend on tik-tok YouTube Instagram

[00:07:58] Entire social media channels with nonsense recipes clearly narrated by AI and likely written by it the videos appear

[00:08:06] real

[00:08:08] Here is one such recipe add eggs to boiling oil

[00:08:12] Why wasn't I told this recipe before for this recipe we're gonna start off with seven eggs

[00:08:18] I'm gonna be adding my eggs to very very hot oil

[00:08:22] Carefully and slowly just like this be careful the oil is super super hot

[00:08:29] It looks so good she says

[00:08:31] So

[00:08:32] Believe or not. I was actually served one of these on YouTube okay, I

[00:08:38] Like to cook yes, and I'm always looking for different ways to cook certain staples like different ways to cook eggs like oh

[00:08:44] Yeah, yeah, and so you know go to the gym lot eat protein also. Yeah, you need a lot of eggs

[00:08:50] Yeah, eggs are good. Thanks are just tasty eggs are great

[00:08:53] So sometimes I'll get served like recommended for use

[00:08:56] They're like

[00:08:57] Asian chefs and it's like oh no thought about cooking this that way and it's like you know like a kind of a

[00:09:05] Recipe that you're not gonna necessarily find in most cookbooks and things like that, so I thought I was clicking

[00:09:10] Yeah, it was something like

[00:09:13] recipe three eggs and tomato

[00:09:16] Okay

[00:09:18] And it was take a tomato slice it put in the pan or you have the you know

[00:09:23] I've seen you have your oil going and all that

[00:09:26] and while those are cooking you battered together three eggs and a bowl and

[00:09:33] Salt and pepper that and then you just pour that around the cut

[00:09:38] Yes, once mayo with three I had to find it. I had to find this video

[00:09:41] You'll be amazed with the result right let's see this a staple of the genre

[00:09:47] Super easy and delicious omelet recipe, but this is from a year ago, okay?

[00:09:51] So maybe this is just a weird recipe okay, just watch this because there's a lot about this it doesn't really

[00:09:57] Jive so far. It's pretty good salt pepper red red pepper flakes

[00:10:02] Got the butter yeah

[00:10:04] Well pretty quick and they cut away

[00:10:08] pretty standard

[00:10:18] Okay

[00:10:21] What's something about this pouring the eggs over the tomato? I think is what really is not doing it for me

[00:10:28] It's that same fucking thing that you see people doing with like we're gonna make a hole in the steak

[00:10:34] And we're gonna put an egg in this it stop doing that I agree

[00:10:39] Okay, mozzarella cheese. This is like a frittata sort of eggs look a little underdone

[00:10:46] Some

[00:10:49] It's it's up to you how you like your omelet, but I mean for me and like a little harder, but

[00:10:54] Yeah, and some some Asian. This isn't necessarily an Asian recipe. Maybe I mean this the the

[00:11:01] titles and the avatar yeah

[00:11:04] But in some some Asian cultures. I guess you cook your eggs a little

[00:11:09] Less so we I mean a soft boil and all that I mean that's a big thing. Yeah, so I mean there's like

[00:11:15] I learned this one style of how they cook eggs in certain parts of China

[00:11:19] Where you're just kind of just moving the egg from one side of the pan the other like you're creating a layer

[00:11:25] Cooked yeah, but still a little wet and I remember showing this to a friend and they're like, ah, it's so gross

[00:11:31] Let me tell you let me tell you something. Yeah, those eggs fucking slap. I would imagine. Yeah

[00:11:37] It probably was pretty damn good eggs. So these ones that I'm talking about they're from like super recipes

[00:11:44] Here's another one only two ingredients. There's only two ingredients. You will be surprised with the result eggs condensed milk

[00:11:50] Oh, that's a third ingredient, right?

[00:11:53] This is so weird and that's a fourth there's water. Okay, this is supposed to be a recipe by the way for flan

[00:12:00] I've never made flan. So I don't this doesn't seem accurate

[00:12:03] No, it doesn't but both of them both super recipes and super yummy here once again Max Reed

[00:12:10] Boasts over 1 million subscribers 400 million views the early comments on videos tend to feature a lot of people with screen names like first name

[00:12:17] Last name number saying normal things like watching from Melbourne, Australia and I love bread

[00:12:24] And I love bread Knoxville, Tennessee USA here

[00:12:29] That's a real bread town right there

[00:12:32] You got your ancient grains. You got your Z. He'll you got your pumpernickel?

[00:13:02] Tomato basil loaf there only if you got the streusel topic on top, that's my favorite one

[00:13:08] but that's the Panera slash st. Louis bread company one, but just the

[00:13:12] You know like a yonkers yummy, you know, thanks greetings from VA. Well, wait a minute

[00:13:18] Yonkers comma yummy greetings from Virginia. Wait a minute. So

[00:13:23] Max Reed goes on to ask the question AI or just

[00:13:28] Brazilian

[00:13:30] So essentially the super recipes family comes from Brazil it could possibly be either way so that that

[00:13:37] Those recipe videos are always amusing to me the boiling oil one. There's another series of recipe videos this one brought to us by

[00:13:46] Penicio del Toro on Twitter a mutual of mine. Oh wonderful at rancor enabler

[00:13:52] 69 is the handle there keep getting these rancid cooking videos where the AI voice just fails

[00:13:59] Dramatically after the first few seconds. Here's one where they're pouring milk pour milk over beef steaks and be surprised by the results of this combination

[00:14:08] did

[00:14:09] did

[00:14:11] ever

[00:14:13] do do

[00:14:14] to be

[00:15:31] Are we ready for some tits well foreign relations is on the is on the board here a

[00:15:36] Portal opened up between Dublin and New York City not literally that would have been amazing

[00:15:41] No, this is a webcam essentially on both ends

[00:15:44] Instantly transmitting well maybe not instantly

[00:15:47] But you know as fast as they can

[00:15:48] Transmitting video from one side to the other Dublin and New York City for whatever reason were chosen as the two sites and of course

[00:15:55] people

[00:15:56] Went stupid about it. Yeah

[00:15:59] So the first thing that I saw

[00:16:01] was this video

[00:16:04] From a ELA na on on ye olde tick-tock

[00:16:09] Passed by the portal today. This is quite literally why we can never have nice things

[00:16:14] So it's someone holding up their phone says RAP pop smoke hmm and then

[00:16:22] Someone holds up a cell phone. It's a photo of the twin towers and the people in New York starts screaming

[00:16:30] What you got

[00:16:35] Couple hours later a woman was arrested

[00:16:38] Hours after the portal opened up a it was a woman

[00:16:42] Irish woman drunk woman caught grinding up against it

[00:16:47] And then eventually it was shut down because a woman

[00:16:52] Showed him off put him on the glass as it were all the way to Dublin

[00:17:00] This I mean she's given the full jiggle too, so here comes the water

[00:17:35] Ava Louise she bragged about it on Instagram Wow this truly is a

[00:17:42] 1984 I know you can't even show them off anymore

[00:17:44] She was also gained a bit of notoriety back in 2020 when she filmed herself licking an airplane toilet seat as part of

[00:17:51] the coronavirus challenge

[00:17:56] Wow yeah the Sun reporting here

[00:18:00] She according to a of everyone on the New York side who watched her pull the stunt thought it was quote really funny

[00:18:06] Thought you would appreciate this because it's kind of a really oh

[00:18:09] This had me doing some thoughts see and this is why this is why I was like I got as stupid as it is

[00:18:15] It is like we've kind of done this before but it's still fucking stupid

[00:18:20] Historic vids on Twitter at historic hat at history in memes

[00:18:26] So those are two different mission statements right there historic vids is one history and memes is another

[00:18:32] Posted this the world you grew up in no longer exists, and it is a 30-second clip of the song

[00:18:40] Kiss me by six pence none the richer which was the unofficial theme song not aside from I don't want to wait by

[00:18:47] Paula Cole

[00:18:49] For fucking Dawson's Creek

[00:18:51] Yeah, or some romcom I care. Let's let's get back sure sure let's see what they took from us by the cruel

[00:18:57] March of time the world you grew up in no longer exists

[00:19:01] I'm like I don't know this sounds like a lot of early Taylor Swift songs

[00:19:06] Sure, I mean I kid you not I think the first time and to show you how old I am

[00:19:11] Mm-hmm the first time I heard this song and it kind of like really hit for me

[00:19:16] Was I was at the fucking dentist office okay?

[00:19:21] I have fun dentist that has Super Nintendo kiosk in the lobby

[00:19:26] Okay

[00:19:27] Okay

[00:19:28] Either would have Super Mario World or Star Fox in it I think this time it actually had Aladdin

[00:19:35] So yeah, I'm like playing some with some other kid like you know trained off deaths

[00:19:39] You know like how you do and oh yeah pass the controller style. Yeah, and

[00:19:44] We're that song came on. I just kind of like huh

[00:19:46] This is a song. It's nice. I still think it's a bad song. I actually heard it the other day

[00:19:51] I was like you know what we laugh about this song

[00:19:54] but I do think it's

[00:19:56] If for as far as one hit wonders go like it's inoffensive right in the sense that like it doesn't

[00:20:03] Never overstay its welcome. Well. I mean that's gonna be a matter of exposure

[00:20:09] I felt the song was kind of played out, but

[00:20:12] It's still

[00:20:14] Tune wise it's a you know it's a brisk breezy song it doesn't linger in your memory for a while

[00:20:20] You know what I mean?

[00:20:21] Like the lyrics aren't bad the melodies aren't bad like it's it's a sweet little song

[00:20:26] Very old-time II it itself is kind of kind of you know

[00:20:32] Mild

[00:20:33] 90s alt pop mm-hmm, and I did actually have a thought the other day about this song was like yeah

[00:20:39] I really that it is unique it feels like this like has its own space in my opinion and of its era

[00:20:47] Yeah, I don't think there has

[00:20:50] Been a

[00:20:52] Course this is all relative because of like nostalgia my lived experiences your lived experiences anyone around our age or older

[00:21:00] That has those around when this song are cognizant of music in time and trends or whatever

[00:21:06] Yeah, when the song came out in the late 90s. I don't feel like there's been a lot that has

[00:21:12] Had that impact cuz like that chapelle rhone song mm-hmm hot to go is a fucking

[00:21:19] Bop yeah, it's not and you know she's blowing up and she's selling out all

[00:21:25] Primitive tours she's she's got right now. It's pretty much all sold out

[00:21:28] Yeah, our venues are getting upgraded and like she was originally booked here in st. Louis to play at the pageant

[00:21:33] Which is like a 2800 cap think she has sold out

[00:21:38] St. Louis music park I don't remember their capacity, but it's probably at least six yeah that sounds right, but like I think

[00:21:45] Some of this built in nostalgia is coming from the fact that the songs don't have

[00:21:50] They they're not part of the monoculture anymore the same way yeah, and that's true. I think everything's so

[00:21:58] So part of niches is like I couldn't tell you

[00:22:01] More than probably two or three Taylor Swift songs off top my head

[00:22:04] I'm sure I've heard a lot Taylor Swift by couldn't say anything like jelly roll who's also very popular right now

[00:22:11] I couldn't tell you I'm sure I've heard it, but like but it's not

[00:22:15] You're not hearing it everywhere. You're not seeing ads for ever for the album everywhere

[00:22:19] The market has changed the way we listen to music how the way we digest music has changed so much

[00:22:24] Yes, we cannot go back to this particular moment in which this song was presented to us in the ways that it was

[00:22:31] But of all the songs to be nostalgic for I thought it was a very funny choice because like you know a lot

[00:22:38] of these

[00:22:39] Return guys these Roman statue guys are like

[00:22:44] obsessed with macho-ness, and this is like the

[00:22:46] Antithesis of that in song form it's a very plaintive sweet love song about you know wanting to be kissed by your beloved out

[00:22:53] By the by the bearded barley here the barley yeah, the Milky Way and okay

[00:22:58] I get it. It's a very sweet sentimental song

[00:23:02] But like aren't you guys the ones like telling me to eat nothing but meat and like yeah?

[00:23:06] It's just odd choice I can definitely see how the song and its influence did kind of

[00:23:12] Track throughout because like without Sinkspence on the Richard being a hit

[00:23:17] I don't think there would have been a space for say a lady at the Bellum or a you know an early Taylor Swift

[00:23:24] Like it kind of primed pop music to be more

[00:23:29] Accepting of kind of a girly type of country that hadn't been pop music since maybe jewel

[00:23:34] You know there's a that argument I uh but yes, I do agree is a weird like you think it'd be like gangsters paradise

[00:23:41] Or something yeah, yeah something with a little bit more. I don't know

[00:23:46] Masculine energy might as well done the Macarena we went to this thing called the the big bounce

[00:23:50] It's the world's largest bounce house

[00:23:52] And they were doing yeah this DJ

[00:23:55] Terrible as he was was doing a set and he dropped the fucking Macarena in there

[00:23:59] And there were people under the age of 20

[00:24:02] Doing the Macarena, and I was like this is very strange. What is happening the show how old I am I remember in

[00:24:11] music class in grade school

[00:24:14] Back when I still lived in the Spanish Lake, so I was probably like in fourth or fifth grade

[00:24:21] My music teacher miss Davis showing us how to do the Macarena and also taught us to do some sort of dance to

[00:24:29] The train by Quartz City TJ oh yeah, you learn how to do the train

[00:24:34] I think it might have been yes, yeah, miss Davis cool. There's a arm pump the arm pump. Yes. Yes

[00:24:39] Yeah, Jesus Christ well the whole song just like a lot of rap songs at the time was just instructions on how to do the

[00:24:46] Dance jelly roll yep tootsie roll to see roll there we go

[00:24:49] Yeah, the tootsie roll was itself another dance when another song described, but yes you're around

[00:24:53] I

[00:24:55] Don't need to do brown with the dance it was it should be

[00:24:59] It was just a really fucking cool-ass song the weird one that kept that kept getting played at dances when I was of that age

[00:25:06] Was yeah DJ cool, and it was let me clear my throat

[00:25:11] The live version which is a which is a jam yeah, but I haven't thought about them forever

[00:25:16] No, I heard it on a random day on a rock the bells the the LL Cool J's

[00:25:23] Station on Sirius XM somebody was doing some live mix, and then you just hear

[00:25:31] Before we do the crypto scam of the week you sent this to me I could not get over this

[00:25:37] It's a crypto project called

[00:25:40] Michelle Obama's package M. Opie yeah, I thought was the rap cool. I know we're about to any

[00:25:47] No

[00:25:49] No, don't usually do pre-launch posts says sejul of alt crypto gems

[00:25:55] But saw there were some good people on board dollar sign MOP already launching on Solana today

[00:26:01] Which was a couple days ago?

[00:26:03] Should see some good volume so Mabee don't wait for a good entry click on that cmc link

[00:26:09] I gotta see what this chart looks like yeah, I'm very curious

[00:26:12] That's coin market cap for those of you not in the no cmc

[00:26:17] Michelle Obama's package

[00:26:21] Hell yeah shit cratered

[00:26:26] There's a bullish tweet on the right that says MOP crazy narrative first from subway Pablo Oh

[00:26:33] crazy narrative for sure people will buy it grieve and do not fade it and

[00:26:38] this chart guys

[00:26:40] So it looks like it's launch price it went above its launch price for about

[00:26:46] Couple hours yeah like three hours, and then it looks like it immediately rugged mm-hmm

[00:26:52] It's day. It's 24 hour volume was only

[00:26:57] $3,313 is a

[00:26:59] 94.87% dip yep from the previous 24 hour

[00:27:03] Yeah capped out at about six grand

[00:27:07] 6431 not good, but that was not the scam of the week though because that

[00:27:13] Michelle Obama

[00:27:16] Can be back my solana?

[00:27:19] But yeah the fucking the art where it's just like a bean with an afro and a weird like creepy smile

[00:27:26] There's a lot of

[00:27:29] Crypto art going around right now. This is really unsettling and kind of bad in the way of

[00:27:35] I could only liken it to the stuff

[00:27:39] I was seeing FIAD back in the day that would be like Family Guy porn

[00:27:43] Where you know P would be like I am the mega fucker

[00:27:48] It's just really like everything feels off-model even if you don't know what it's supposed to be yeah um

[00:27:55] It's just this really odd

[00:27:58] Parachuting yeah parachuting

[00:28:00] And then on the right wearing a pride sash and waving flag that it's just MOP

[00:28:07] It's just the name of the coin

[00:28:09] They couldn't say Obama's package by the way they had to do Obama like a bummer

[00:28:15] That is not my wife's penis

[00:28:17] But no that is not the crypto scam of the week crypto scam of the week is this

[00:28:22] You're listening to 48 minutes of dogs barking the podcast

[00:28:30] Again courtesy the BBC two brothers just two brothers two brothers

[00:28:36] I

[00:28:37] Still crypto who studied from the DGN's two brothers who studied at one of the most prestigious

[00:28:43] Universities in the US have been charged with stealing 25 million dollars in cryptocurrency in

[00:28:49] 12 seconds

[00:28:52] So yes impressive yeah, so that's Anton Pereira bueno and James Pereira bueno

[00:28:58] 24 and 28 respectively accused of wire fraud money laundering it was 25 million in aetherium through a

[00:29:05] Technologically sophisticated cutting-edge scheme they plotted for months and executed in seconds according to Deputy Attorney

[00:29:13] General Lisa Monaco she added the agents from the IRS played a key role in unraveling the quote first of its kind wire fraud

[00:29:20] And money laundering a scheme

[00:29:23] Prosecutors alleged the two use highly specialized skills

[00:29:25] They learned at quote one of the most prestigious universities in the world that university yes the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

[00:29:32] Also known as MIT the US attorney they did

[00:29:37] They could learn all of this, but they couldn't learn how to fucking cover their tracks

[00:29:42] Exactly right so the details of the scam are kind of highly technical

[00:29:47] I don't know the exact bits

[00:29:49] But here's according to the BBC they stole from aetherium traders by fraudulently gaining access to pending private

[00:29:57] Transactions and then altering the transactions to obtain the cryptocurrency instead

[00:30:02] The process which investigators say they referred to as the exploit took only a matter of seconds

[00:30:08] When confronted by a representative for aetherium officials say the brothers declined to return the funds and took steps to launder and

[00:30:15] Hide their stolen gains prosecutors note

[00:30:18] This is the first time that such a novel form of fraud has ever been subject to criminal charges each one of them

[00:30:24] Faces 20 years in prison if found guilty I find that hard to believe that they'd never been subject to criminal charges

[00:30:33] It feels like this kind of scam not exact sure

[00:30:36] I imagine in the very specific way because I think there might have been an MEV bought

[00:30:41] Which I don't really still don't really understand completely how those work, but it is really interesting that then

[00:30:49] 25 million in 12 seconds

[00:30:53] But you couldn't you couldn't think past that yeah, how are they teaching these kids in school?

[00:31:00] so I I did

[00:31:02] Dig into this a little bit men by digging into this I meant I went to the something awful

[00:31:06] Bitcoin threat and the user setting son there God. It's even better than I could have imagined

[00:31:12] They own a bunch of valid

[00:31:18] When notified that one of them was about to a validated transaction they tricked a bunch of MEV bots to arbitrage on the validation

[00:31:26] And through profiling them knew what coins they would buy and sell to arbitrage with

[00:31:33] Through a relay exploits

[00:31:35] They were able to tamper with the transaction bundle the bots made and forced them to buy the criminals junk coins

[00:31:43] Which they knew to own from their profiling and not sell it back to complete the arbitrage

[00:31:51] That's fucking crazy

[00:31:52] The next reply wild that their scam was on an entire class of front-running bots in the aetherium ecosystem

[00:32:00] I didn't even know existed

[00:32:02] Scammers scamming scammers all the way down. That's pretty much the

[00:32:07] That is wild they own the validators

[00:32:11] Goddamn boy we're gonna talk about ourselves some real

[00:32:15] There that nostalgia we are indeed we're talking about oh

[00:32:19] bio black sheep

[00:32:22] Albinol black sheep would it surprise you that they were Canadian?

[00:32:27] Yeah, what Stephen Lerner, Toronto, Ontario

[00:32:33] 1999 it's ridiculous is that on their actual website on albino black sheep

[00:32:38] Which is still a website that still exists

[00:32:40] It is a website where people would upload flash animations and a couple of big memes kind of came out of there

[00:32:46] And we'll get to that in a minute

[00:32:47] But on the albino black sheep website is an entire history that predates the website

[00:32:57] So originally the idea was that albino black sheep was gonna be a place to host MIDI files because see the aforementioned

[00:33:05] Stephen Lerner was big into composing some sheet music here. Yeah, and so yes a lot of black sheep was

[00:33:14] Started as a way to put these bits of music out when I was at university in the fall of 1999

[00:33:20] I took my first stab at designing the albino black sheep website and hosted it on tarah share

[00:33:26] Oh boy Wow

[00:33:28] Canadian Geo cities essentially. Yeah, that's the best way I could describe it

[00:33:32] I found myself too consumed by homework and exams to continue with it at that point in the summer of 2000

[00:33:39] I focused mainly on recording music while balancing my summer job

[00:33:43] After the 2000 he started taking a course on web design

[00:33:46] Which was how we got the site as it is designed today and they have not changed it and it still looks

[00:33:53] Very very web 1.0. Oh Bob in the Apple was that

[00:33:59] Okay, it was a minute and a half of nothing

[00:34:03] And I have a feeling that a lot of these videos that we're gonna cover are gonna elicit that same reaction

[00:34:08] Yes, the website itself kind of weird. This was um

[00:34:12] Like not as edgy as newgrounds, but perhaps a little bit better curated

[00:34:17] yes, I definitely feel like the stuff that was on albino black sheep were

[00:34:22] labors of love people really interested in doing animation and music and just kind of being creative on the early web and

[00:34:30] using flash

[00:34:31] Because that was the thing to do

[00:34:33] You know, that's what you did and you had some really interesting stuff come from it

[00:34:38] Some of the ones that come to mind immediately are gonna be things like the end of the world

[00:34:43] Oh, yeah, I almost wrote for the website that started this. Yeah

[00:34:49] Well, the animation was created by a guy named fluid. Okay, so here's the earth

[00:34:55] Chilling damn that is a sweet earth you might say round

[00:34:58] All right ruling out the ice capes melting meteors becoming crashed into us the ozone layer leaving and the Sun exploding

[00:35:06] We're definitely going to blow ourselves up. Okay, this was fucking

[00:35:10] Mind-blowing. Yeah the peak of comedy 2003. I hate to say it, but I do sometimes think to my head

[00:35:15] I'm a little bit. Oh, no, I will say you know, I'm other land or you know

[00:35:20] One of those lines from that is just yes, of course about that time. Hey, yeah

[00:35:24] Okay, I'll do all I will start on this feels like someone doing like they're a group X yes

[00:35:32] Yes, definitely did it definitely did sound like group X. I don't want relationship. I just want bang bang bang

[00:35:39] There were a couple other ones the the one that my son became obsessed with in this past year

[00:35:45] Even though it was created in 2005

[00:35:47] Was Neil Cesarigas the ultimate showdown of?

[00:35:51] Ultimate destiny that's right

[00:35:54] Lemon Demon is he's known at the time

[00:35:56] I believe he was still releasing music like this under Neil Cesariga the entire song

[00:36:03] About how all the the characters from movies that and TV shows that you like are all gonna get into a big fight

[00:36:21] The

[00:36:26] Started beating up Shaquille O'Neal then they both got flattened by the bathroom

[00:36:30] Feel the floor we can make it back to the bat cave Abraham Lincoln popped out of his grave

[00:36:35] I took a naked 47 out from under his hat blew Batman away were the right at that tap

[00:36:39] But he ran out of bullets and he ran away because office prime can't stand the day

[00:36:43] This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny

[00:36:45] Goodbyes bad guys and explosions as far as the eye can see and only one will survive

[00:36:47] I wonder who it will be

[00:36:49] This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny

[00:36:51] This is such like an early 2000s like VST bass sound too

[00:36:53] Well and the constant references to like Shaq and Aaron Carter like they're very dated you know

[00:37:01] Optimus Prime?

[00:37:03] Well I'm optimistic

[00:37:05] I'm pretty sure that's the one

[00:37:07] Yeah

[00:37:09] Yeah

[00:37:11] Yeah

[00:37:14] And Abraham Lincoln looking like a

[00:37:16] Indiana Jones and a Batman's got a gun

[00:37:20] Yeah

[00:37:22] They're all fighting Godzilla

[00:37:24] Care Bears

[00:37:26] Santa Claus for whatever reason

[00:37:28] Is that Lotex?

[00:37:30] For real

[00:37:32] I don't know

[00:37:34] Chuck Norris

[00:37:36] It's a big thing. God the humor was a little limited back then

[00:37:40] Every character from everything comes in so you got characters from Lord of the Rings

[00:37:44] You got black knight from Monty Python

[00:37:48] cowboy Curtis

[00:37:50] Robocop agents from the matrix a power ranger Superman Bill and Ted

[00:37:55] Captain Kirk Doc Ock Hulk Hogan

[00:38:00] Spock I mean

[00:38:02] All it's it's it's all there

[00:38:04] And of course the whole thing ends with mr. Rogers appearing over the deceased and committing seppuku

[00:38:12] I don't know why mr. Rogers would

[00:38:15] Do that, but yeah

[00:38:19] The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny

[00:38:22] Yeah, that's that's that's for later

[00:38:26] That's a special surprise you'll see there

[00:38:29] So hello, it's a little secret trick back to the albino black sheep about page the creator of the site did also

[00:38:37] Animate a flash movie titled Kristen the bipolar lesbian

[00:38:42] Jesus

[00:38:43] The band tally hall or if you're familiar with them. I'm very

[00:38:47] Very familiar with tally hall. Yeah

[00:38:49] Well apparently posting their music video for a banana man got him kind of some

[00:38:54] Some attention there from posting it on albino black sheep

[00:38:59] Badger badger mushroom. I don't think that originated there, but I do know that peanut butter jelly time did

[00:39:17] You know that guy like died like police shootout or something Jesus no, hold on what yeah the peanut butter

[00:39:24] Jelly time guy like got fucking murked by the cops

[00:39:27] He died in an 11-hour police standoff. Oh shit his breath guy his brother-in-law was snooped off

[00:39:34] Yeah, the germaine fuller the vocalist behind the song got in an altercation with the police fuller shot a cop and then

[00:39:42] Died after a standoff

[00:39:44] Yeah peanut butter jelly time was sung by buckwheat boys

[00:39:47] This singer was germaine fuller

[00:39:50] Shot an officer in the chest in the head this according to a KLA cue that's a Los Angeles

[00:39:56] radio station

[00:39:58] After the shooting he broke into a nearby apartment and took two men in the apartment hostage

[00:40:03] Hostages escaped he barricaded himself in the bathroom threatening officers

[00:40:06] He would shoot if they tried to come in at some point

[00:40:09] He contacted local television stations and told him he had a very famous relative

[00:40:15] This of course was snoop dog. Yes

[00:40:18] While the standoff was still happening police confirmed fuller's claims of having a famous relative Vegas cops reached out to snoop who taped a message

[00:40:26] In the message. He said it's not too late. We got lawyers that can take care of this do what the cops tell you

[00:40:32] So yeah, germaine fuller was the brother of snoop dogs wife shantay and it was snoop dog tried to talk him down

[00:40:39] cops into the bathroom

[00:40:41] Where they found him dead of a single gunshot wound to the head so apparently he

[00:40:46] himself

[00:40:47] Here here's something. I didn't know the buckwheat boys disbanded after germaine's death

[00:40:53] The world will never know if they would have had multiple sandwich themed

[00:41:01] hits I can imagine that not but you know

[00:41:09] Single bullet to the skull

[00:41:15] And gonads and strife was the other one a squirreled singing a song about things that made him go

[00:41:24] I

[00:41:46] Very much like a frog song. Yeah

[00:41:48] Even man

[00:41:52] Yeah, well I immediately was like oh yeah Liam Lynch kind of used that same energy for United States of whatever

[00:41:59] Yeah, which itself wound up being subject of several flash animations on not only albino black sheep, but elsewhere

[00:42:06] Lip dubs things like that were also a big thing on the site

[00:42:09] But yeah, I mean it was much like you're the man now dog

[00:42:12] It was a series of just like user generated things. I kind of like that about the old web

[00:42:18] I mean you still have that on stuff like Twitter and black been blue sky and whatever like people were just like here's the thing

[00:42:24] That I made

[00:42:25] but I don't know it felt like I

[00:42:29] Was a different vibe. I guess because because sites like this and sites like you're the man now dog were like

[00:42:34] Hey

[00:42:36] You make a thing and we're just gonna have it on just this one site

[00:42:39] I don't know their playgrounds. I guess that kind of new grounds was the same way

[00:42:44] You know like it's just you made a thing sure here it is. We'll put on the website

[00:42:48] I remember in high school and you know having a friend being like have you heard a fucking yata? Oh gosh

[00:42:53] Yeah, shit. No, what's that? And like oh man. You got coming my house after school man. It's tight

[00:43:00] It was a

[00:43:03] Japanese song. Oh, yeah

[00:43:06] Man, I mean I haven't thought about yada in the better part 20 years

[00:43:18] I

[00:43:39] Slaps a bunch of guys in their underwear with a fig leaf going

[00:43:42] Yeah, very very much in the early days of is in Japan. So is in Japan so

[00:43:49] Crazy man. Yeah

[00:43:53] You still have that there's a lot of that

[00:43:55] Yeah, like now it's tick tocks with like Japan is living in the year 3000 and it's just like a functional

[00:44:03] Public transport system. Yeah, it's a bullet train. Yeah, like cool or it's okay for like a child to walk the school by itself

[00:44:12] Yeah, there's a lot of like really weird

[00:44:14] There's a lot of really weird like repressive ultra conservative parts of Japanese culture, but also kind of shows

[00:44:21] What happens when you reinvest?

[00:44:25] into your country rather than start wars or

[00:44:28] Oppressed people not that Japan has been oppressed people. No, there's quite a few things that started happening about a hundred years ago

[00:44:36] I was gonna say

[00:44:38] But yeah, I mean for such a site like this that had

[00:44:43] memes come out of it I

[00:44:46] Don't think it was still like a household name. It wasn't like a new grounds. No, it wasn't like a YouTube

[00:44:52] But it was kind of like it was a little bit more elevated a little hair to

[00:44:58] New grounds like because the beyond about a viable actually usually meant it was a little bit better quality. I

[00:45:04] Don't know if there's necessarily moderation or curation, but it certainly felt that way

[00:45:08] What's the quality of stuff you'd see on there? Even that goofy?

[00:45:12] Apple thing is like well, it's well animated the voice acting isn't someone screaming into a

[00:45:17] lavalier mic about

[00:45:22] This Apple sure is good

[00:45:24] There's a level of quality you come to expect I guess is what is what it all comes down to

[00:45:29] Any other things come to mind when you think about buying a black sheep?

[00:45:32] Because those are the ones that immediately sprung to my mind just being in high school

[00:45:41] Yeah

[00:45:43] I'm dying Jason. I'm no longer. What does it say about me?

[00:45:49] Have you um had a will made yeah, I was gonna say

[00:45:54] I do I do have to go meet somebody about life insurance

[00:45:57] So I guess it is time

[00:45:58] I guess it's done the slow march of time comes for us all brain on that note. Let's look at some gross shit

[00:46:03] Oh

[00:46:11] Well, he's trying to you try and get that premium

[00:46:14] That's right. Yeah, you saw a little sneak peek there. Sorry about that. This one is a new one

[00:46:24] Just it goes there there's it's three it's three layers on here so the screen cap

[00:46:33] The caption from the things being screen capped is you know the rules the rules the person posting the screen cap

[00:46:40] Is saying what is in the air tonight and the person posting?

[00:46:47] Responding to the quote. It's just girl

[00:46:49] The reason why they're all having a bit of a moment is this this is a new shock dot jpeg

[00:46:54] That comes to us fresh off the press fresh off the presses

[00:46:57] The Twitter user concerns citizen at B gates is a psycho

[00:47:03] Don't want to touch that one. Yeah, sorry for this one

[00:47:06] Just what you just when you thought you'd seen it all in clown world. Oh

[00:47:11] Nazi shit. Yeah

[00:47:12] The internet delivers well is an Italian man sticking a gas pump in his rear while jacking it

[00:47:19] The person filming interrupts him

[00:47:24] You just stand in there

[00:47:27] In there

[00:47:29] But the gas pump is a

[00:47:31] You see sorry a tattoo of this no, so I got a tattoo of it. Oh lord

[00:47:37] Pedro Pedro gas gas

[00:47:42] First of all old guy right old guy older gentleman

[00:47:47] Second of all got a bit of a hog on him bit of work some shit and

[00:47:52] Second stroke of my shit got lotion on my shit at the gas station

[00:47:56] I got petrol on my accessory auto

[00:48:14] Boy so yeah, just a older gentleman white hair orange ball cap

[00:48:18] He's got his pants pulled down and a gas pump directly. He's just playing with the thought of it

[00:48:24] He's not really he's in there is he?

[00:48:30] Let me I mean it's 12 seconds we can afford to watch it a few more times there see what he pulls it out

[00:48:36] Okay, okay. It's not like he's got it under well me. I

[00:48:41] Don't know it's hard to tell 12 seconds. Yeah, I need more

[00:48:58] That probably doesn't the dealing with like the soft flesh. Yeah, I mean there

[00:49:03] Someone quoted this and said you know the really upsetting part is he didn't wipe it off before he put it back. Oh, yeah

[00:49:10] And then someone

[00:49:13] Responding with I thought this was a joke now. It is clear. They wrote this based on their own experience

[00:49:17] It is the caution do not insert in mouth or rectum

[00:49:20] I hate on the guy hate to give a blue checky. I know any kind of airtime, but Bilbo Baggins

[00:49:30] Bank else thank all stankle stinkle one and I thought I was getting screwed at the pump

[00:49:39] Oh

[00:49:42] Yeah, first of all it's the middle of the day that's the thing you also understand

[00:49:45] It's not like they caught a guy the middle of night right in the quiet hour

[00:49:50] There's something quite is this his own gas station right? Oh see the owner. Yeah

[00:49:55] The way I came to this is so funny cuz this is how this happens nowadays if you want to see a shock video

[00:50:01] You'll see a thousand posts going. I saw a guy with a gas pump up his ass

[00:50:08] And so I go searching gas pump up ass on on Twitter

[00:50:14] Not a great thing to do. I will admit no I probably put you on a list somewhere great

[00:50:18] But I'm looking for this and it's endless posts about it not the actual video

[00:50:23] This is why it's a so I took so long and and the original poster

[00:50:27] I think actually did have it taken down

[00:50:29] Probably embarrassed by this whole situation or at least I would be now it gets reposted

[00:50:34] Right, it's five point six million views by someone whose bio is US and UK based father

[00:50:41] conspiracy realist slash quince's analyzer data interpreter reject woke eye allergy pronouns fuck off

[00:50:48] Wef mill finger no

[00:50:52] mRNA stop

[00:50:54] Geoengineering okay, so that is a pro block on site if you see this guy just fucking

[00:51:00] Well the minute I saw a clown world I was like, okay, that's that's Nazi shit

[00:51:05] But the things I do in search of the of the grossest things

[00:51:12] You think it's just that you think it's just like he's not horny he's Italian okay another one is that Donald Trump

[00:51:19] Folks folks I try to put my ass

[00:51:22] I

[00:51:24] Was practicing for jail they said I'm going to jail. I'm going to jail

[00:51:28] I'm going to jail

[00:51:30] It sells gonna have to drop stuff folks. I want to drop the sign that drop in this

[00:51:34] You ride this head this will drop this ever get the cowardly run governor Abbott

[00:51:39] He dropped soapy. We have to push by the wheelchair first

[00:51:43] You know, do you think it makes Abbott

[00:51:46] Makes him really mad that he can't stand for the national anthem

[00:51:50] I'm just gonna leave that one. You know what? Yeah, probably probably he's probably irks him something fears

[00:51:57] Erks himself

[00:51:59] Probably sticks in his crawl a bit all the clowns and Congress and then government. Oh, yes

[00:52:09] The real clown worlds up on the Capitol Hill

[00:52:13] All right, I think it's time Brian it's time for the breath mint

[00:52:16] It's time for your mom's favorite part of the show it's time for the breath mint

[00:52:23] Ah, gee, I go first sure. I think I really only got one thing to talk about so I've got two so that that's fine

[00:52:32] I'll start I

[00:52:33] Started playing a game called tunic. Yeah, and I'm really enjoying it. It's very much a

[00:52:40] Zelda esque

[00:52:42] Symmetric

[00:52:43] Platformer well not really a platformer but more of an adventure game

[00:52:47] You're a little Fox and you're running around in your oh, yeah, I've seen this find the secrets

[00:52:51] Yeah, it's real great. But right about that same time. I started playing that a

[00:52:56] New game dropped that I had to have

[00:53:00] Animal well, have you heard about animal heard about this you seen this?

[00:53:03] I've read about

[00:53:07] JLo Mike Tyson, that's right. So Billy Basso or the course of seven years hand-coded this game from scratch it is a

[00:53:15] gorgeous

[00:53:17] This beautiful music. It's a it's a game about you play a little bean guy and he's going around and he's a

[00:53:24] Solving puzzles and finding secrets. That's the whole game. It's great

[00:53:28] Looks it looks like like a lot of fun it is and some of the most interesting stuff is that

[00:53:33] My family's baffling. I was like, why is it that this isn't on Xbox?

[00:53:37] It's on every other platform and then it struck me. I'm playing on

[00:53:42] the PS 5 with the dual sense controller and

[00:53:45] There's a touchpad on the top there and I accidentally brushed my thumb on it. Mm-hmm. The grass starts swaying

[00:53:53] Because apparently there's some touch pad specific stuff you can do to solve that's so cool

[00:53:58] That makes real good use of the dual sense

[00:54:00] We're just like the sound of jumping and then is that very slight vibration as your character hits the ground

[00:54:05] You know like the little pads your fingers. It's fun

[00:54:09] There's all sorts of tools to use and get around the map with very very classic Metroidvania

[00:54:16] well, another game I can really compare it to it probably be something like braid or

[00:54:21] You know, it's it's 2d it's mostly platforming not a lot of combat

[00:54:25] There's maybe one or two actual enemies and you have the tools to kind of either scare him away or get him out of your way

[00:54:32] But it's very cute cute game by an animal going down a well

[00:54:36] You can beat the main path in about five or six hours. I am on hour 16

[00:54:43] And I'm trying to find all these eggs hidden throughout the map the postgame is

[00:54:50] Longer than the game itself, which is fascinating. You can roll credits and be done if you want to be

[00:54:55] Oh, this is kind of like on the tail a little bit. Yeah very much so. Yeah, there's the

[00:55:00] The joy is in the discovery and that's why I think animal well really excels at and boy

[00:55:06] I've got four more eggs to find

[00:55:09] There's 64 eggs. I sorry 65 eggs in the game

[00:55:12] You can't get the 65th until you get the 64th

[00:55:15] So I have four more eggs until I can get that last egg

[00:55:17] And then there's a whole other section that you play and all of this is optional

[00:55:23] Yeah, so that sounds really neat secrets have secrets. There's a whole section in the game

[00:55:29] Not a whole section. There's there's one puzzle

[00:55:32] That is an ARG that you have to get together with like 50 other people

[00:55:37] to complete this puzzle

[00:55:40] It's optional. It doesn't affect that, you know the game at all. It's just fun

[00:55:44] There's some all sorts of little fun stuff. There's a flute you can get so that you can like fast travel to places

[00:55:50] But only once you get the flute and the flute hits when you get like six eggs

[00:55:54] So your first six eggs get you the fast travel and after that, oh you're off to the races boy

[00:56:00] there's some real tricky parts towards the end of the main bit but then after that you start getting better tools to kind of

[00:56:06] navigate better and

[00:56:08] Certain stuff couldn't unlock at all before and now you got access to whole new rooms

[00:56:12] And it's it's it's amazing amazing that this guy spent so long seven years. I mean this feels like a very long time

[00:56:20] he just was able to do it and

[00:56:23] kudos to video game donkey and big mode who were the publishers

[00:56:28] Who got him over the finish line? Because I mean he was kind of just

[00:56:32] Working on the game and he submitted a packet to donkey and he's like, oh my god. Yes, let's do this

[00:56:38] He got it in front of the right people and it's getting nine ten out of tens all over the across the board

[00:56:43] We're just loving it. Yeah, and I I hardly agree. It's fantastic

[00:56:47] I don't think an indie game probably since undertale of this style has gotten so much attention

[00:56:53] yeah, you have things like Hades and

[00:56:56] oh, yeah Hades to just dropped in the Hays to just

[00:56:59] early access early access

[00:57:01] but I listen to some people talk about it and I watched a IGN's like review of the

[00:57:08] What's released so far no score, of course, but well, yeah sounds really

[00:57:14] Interesting. Did you play the first one? I play the fucking shit. Yeah same here. I still

[00:57:21] Think I could be Jones in for a Hays run right about like if you just put me in front of it

[00:57:26] That's the rest of the night. Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those it's definitely got that

[00:57:31] One more run one more run and I didn't understand roguelikes until

[00:57:36] The first time I

[00:57:38] Got to Hades in Hades. I was like, okay

[00:57:41] Now I see why people like these games now I get it

[00:57:46] Into the gun Jim was probably the one I can't finish that I guess so far and then fucking hard

[00:57:52] It is and bullet hells are not my yeah, but I think that game I stuck with that game for so long

[00:57:59] I think I probably put I

[00:58:01] Mean I probably on off had spells with enter the gun Jim probably over two or three years and

[00:58:09] That's intense that's an intense relationship to have of the game

[00:58:12] Yeah, yeah

[00:58:13] and I know people that say it's like oh is their favorite game in the world and they're still unlocking stuff and

[00:58:18] It's I think into the gun Jim's a certain kind of hard

[00:58:22] That isn't everyone's taste. I wish there was a slightly easier variation so you could actually

[00:58:28] See the stuff and not just watch YouTube's yeah, cuz that's what I've had to do at a certain point

[00:58:33] I gave it about 20 hours and

[00:58:37] I wasn't consistently getting past the third level and like okay, this is I'm I'm beating my head against the wall here

[00:58:44] Yeah. Yeah

[00:58:45] I'm trying to think

[00:58:47] The only other rogue like that I really played to completion in a sense was returnal I

[00:58:54] Heard good things about returnal returnal because it has a house mark did a fantastic job of

[00:59:02] Creating a purpose for the rogue like

[00:59:05] To be like that and and narratively it makes sense

[00:59:08] And so it's got this kind of Groundhog Day kind of thing where?

[00:59:13] Every time you die. It's just you're waking up again, you know, right so so thematically and story-wise

[00:59:21] It couldn't have been any other kind of game but a rogue like because of the way they they wrote it

[00:59:26] So that one that one stuck with me and then yeah Hades those are the only two rogue likes

[00:59:31] I've really ever played to you haven't played dead cells

[00:59:35] Again to completion and play dead cells enjoyed it, but I kept finding myself

[00:59:40] Getting stuck or you know getting frustrated and then bailing on a run or like it just there's certain

[00:59:46] There's just certain something about certain ones. I can't I can't get there it's all it's not all roguelikes

[00:59:53] Obviously, it's a couple of them that I managed to actually, you know finish it tried

[00:59:57] And I just couldn't get into it. See it said yeah, it's not

[01:00:02] Roguelikes are so funny. They're real particular, you know, you think you got to be zoned in you got to be but yeah

[01:00:08] like Hades

[01:00:09] Hades really just like I never could get in the binding of Isaac. Yeah me either

[01:00:17] It's the twin stick shooter thing. I keep wanting to do smash TV stuff and it's like that's not the same game

[01:00:22] So, uh, I invite you to a show and you couldn't go because you had to be mr. Dad, which I understand

[01:00:28] Yeah, so it goes but so close

[01:00:30] But also was the show that D was originally gonna go with me to right till her work schedule

[01:00:38] Switched up. So did you go solo or I went solo? Okay, I went to I went to see swans

[01:00:44] All by your loans all my lonesome and

[01:00:49] One experience that was I think I think D probably would hate it. I think you might have been like

[01:01:01] That is entirely possible

[01:01:05] It was one of the loudest shows I've ever attended maybe the last

[01:01:09] Well, I don't know louder than than melt banana, yes, okay, absolutely

[01:01:19] Swans for those don't know is a

[01:01:23] Post-punk group out of New York City started in New York City in the early 80s

[01:01:29] fronted by a very interesting myth and throat named Michael Gera and

[01:01:35] The wild man wildest man

[01:01:39] He broke up the band in the late 90s started a band called Angel of Light and

[01:01:46] He ended that in the late aughts started up swans again 2010 sounding kind of more like a

[01:01:56] Like horror folk

[01:01:59] Doom thing it's really it definitely post-punk does not

[01:02:04] Fit the description other than maybe some of the the spirit of the approach well post-punk is so broad too

[01:02:09] I mean there's any number of things you could call that so but this is like

[01:02:14] This is stuff that I would put on at jobs when I was pissed off at other co-workers, but I couldn't yell at them

[01:02:20] Oh, well, we'll just listen to the seer for an hour

[01:02:24] now, I mean

[01:02:25] Yeah, the seer in particular is a bit of a slug. The seer is a fucking amazing record is also punishing

[01:02:32] Yes, there were a few times when I was working at Katie attacks

[01:02:36] I was DJing and my the show that was after me would be late. And so

[01:02:43] To punish their audience. I would put on

[01:02:46] One of the 11 minute tracks from this year and just leave the studio

[01:02:54] We'll see you later bye

[01:02:56] Yeah

[01:02:58] but there are their new record the beggar is

[01:03:02] Really interesting is a little bit lighter than some of the past few

[01:03:06] Releases but still is very challenging and abrasive and moody

[01:03:12] I've really

[01:03:13] Really started to enjoy it really been getting into that record

[01:03:17] so I was very happy to

[01:03:19] photograph swans because that doesn't happen that often as my career is not a fan of photographers right now and

[01:03:27] He's a little concerned about his image. She's not a spring chicken anymore

[01:03:31] The man just turned 70. He does not act like it. He sounds busy. This is a man who's acting like he's still 50

[01:03:39] But you like when I read that he was 70 I'm like, it's just

[01:03:43] None of this lines up from the guy I see on stage

[01:03:46] Oh, it's like every time I see Rob Pollard of guided by voices. It's the same thing

[01:03:50] I'm like this guy's not alerted 40. Yeah, just like the you know, the spirit

[01:03:54] Yeah individual and how they hold themselves

[01:03:58] By

[01:04:01] Yeah, it was one of the things about swans is it

[01:04:06] Very rarely do they really?

[01:04:08] Tour behind the material that there they just released you might see

[01:04:14] or you might have a song or two from the record performed and

[01:04:19] Maybe an old song or two

[01:04:21] But mostly it's going to be stuff. It's gonna end up on the next record. Oh sure

[01:04:25] Yeah, they're playing out the new material kind of like a comedian

[01:04:28] The first half of this tour they apparently played a lot of stuff from the record

[01:04:33] But now they're moving on the new material

[01:04:35] So the only thing off of the beggar was the titular song which was the first track and then it was hanging man

[01:04:42] Which is off of to be kind which I haven't spent a lot of time with by like that record, too

[01:04:48] And then it went into all new materials really so the beggar and to be a thing about

[01:04:56] Swans it's really fucking loud and

[01:04:59] They take their

[01:05:01] Compositions and they fucking play them to the max. Yeah

[01:05:05] You are a five-minute song might be extrapolated in the 20 minutes and there's lots of I mean you're really getting into a trance

[01:05:14] like vibe I can I the first time I saw swans I

[01:05:20] Told Michael Gera himself that I felt like it was almost like a spiritual experience and he kind of just gave me a weird smile

[01:05:27] Yeah, I hear that

[01:05:30] Here it all the time. Yeah, but

[01:05:33] so I only had

[01:05:35] My requirements was asked me as a photographer was I wasn't upfront center and I had the first 30 minutes

[01:05:41] So first 30 minutes is pretty good. Although that's probably the equivalent of three songs

[01:05:46] Well, the Hanging Man wasn't even done I think I think the Hanging Man

[01:05:56] Three minutes didn't work out so great because there was no photo pit which is fine

[01:06:00] But it was a very very I think was over 600 people

[01:06:03] I think that's what Bert told me over 600 people which is great

[01:06:06] That's the most people swans have ever played in front of in st. Louis

[01:06:09] yeah, and it was a fucking great crowd and as like

[01:06:12] When I have to shoot in a situation like that particularly at Delmar Hall and people see me walk around with my fucking two camera bodies

[01:06:19] In my camera bag, they don't fucking move for shit now, but this show people like saw me coming. We're moving out of the way

[01:06:26] I'm like, this is nice. What lovely people. Yeah, what lovely people that have come here to ruin their hearing

[01:06:31] Yeah

[01:06:33] Because I know not a one of them was Aaron wearing ear protection. There was quite a few people. I mean I borrowed

[01:06:39] My girlfriend's that's right gun range muffs which were bright pink. Oh my oh Michael Geer is gonna love this

[01:06:47] Turns out pink is one of his favorite colors. So maybe that

[01:06:50] there's the the muffs come back in the play later on in the story, but

[01:06:55] I'm about done with my 30 minutes. I am stage left

[01:07:00] I'm able to go up to the mill level of the venue and loop back around

[01:07:04] Without too much difficulty, but still I'm having to stop and

[01:07:09] Like try and move around through people and like this super loud

[01:07:14] and also this is like this is music that

[01:07:16] really demands your attention to be present and I do not want to take away from anyone's enjoyment of this because

[01:07:24] Swans haven't played st. Louis almost 10 years. It's been 12 years since I've seen swans live and

[01:07:31] Like I said Michael Gera is 70 years old I wish no

[01:07:36] Nothing ever terrible to go happen with his health

[01:07:39] But I don't know if I if I could swans will be around for me to see in another 12 years

[01:07:46] So this is I don't want to be a distraction. No and

[01:07:52] So I'm trying to get my shots

[01:07:54] There is a foe. I I took I was standing behind

[01:07:59] The crowd in the very back of the dance floor and I'm just kind of waiting for moments where there's some movement and

[01:08:06] Michael Gera is almost acting like a

[01:08:09] Maestro and he's giving lots of hand signals and he's kind of waving in time and some of it

[01:08:14] I think it's just him like just expressing himself and freaking out and some of it

[01:08:18] I do think is like signals to the band

[01:08:21] Some of the stuff I was kind of able to pick up on the other stuff not so much

[01:08:24] But I had raised my camera above the crowd so I have my arm fully extended

[01:08:30] I have the the back LCD screen LCD screen of my Fuji camera pointed down at me

[01:08:35] And I'm just kind of like using the other hand to hold the strap steady

[01:08:38] I'm taking photos of him and I'm using a lens as 135 millimeter equivalent

[01:08:43] So I got some nice compression separation of the background from the subject and all that

[01:08:48] Mmm

[01:08:50] What's a nice one shot

[01:08:52] the thing is

[01:08:54] There's I there's a couple frames where he's looking at my camera

[01:08:59] And I'm frightened terrified right down the barrel. Yeah

[01:09:05] Because this isn't like the photo of

[01:09:08] Homeboy from postal service. This isn't like Bing Bing Gibbons

[01:09:13] Whatever his name is Givard, sorry Bing Gibbard and being like no no Bing Gibbard. What are you doing? Mr. Yeah

[01:09:20] stupid sexy Bing Gibbons

[01:09:24] Pop music makes me feel like I'm wearing nothing at all

[01:09:28] But like if I had realized in that moment that he was looking at my camera lens

[01:09:33] Cuz I got mad. He's looking out the crowd and there's an arm with a camera

[01:09:38] I'm the only person photographing and there's like the

[01:09:43] Young lady that plays in the band. I forget her name off top my head

[01:09:46] so I kept thinking she was actually the

[01:09:49] The woman that co-founded swans with Gera back in the day, but she only I think she only does studio stuff

[01:09:55] I don't think she does tour I think but um

[01:09:58] I even got a couple photos of her looking at my camera lens and just giving me like the stink face

[01:10:04] Like thanks lady

[01:10:07] But if I get around the stage right

[01:10:10] Like I make a big horseshoe and I got about five minutes before my time is up

[01:10:15] I'm just kind of making some photos

[01:10:17] and I'm over by the wall kind of like the door to the backstage area and

[01:10:25] This lady is standing up against the stage and

[01:10:29] Her legs go out from under her like a like an invisible dog

[01:10:33] With a leash attached to it. Just took her legs out. Just fucking

[01:10:37] Gone. I mean it was like someone tackled her like an invisible ghost and

[01:10:44] She gets up pretty quick. She's fine

[01:10:48] But she looks a little shaken and her and the people she's with they they take her behind me

[01:10:54] Then I noticed that there's this couple to the right of me and they're like about my age

[01:10:59] The young lady is hugging

[01:11:01] Her boyfriend with her back to the stage and they're like slowly swaying he's got a hand like around the back of her head

[01:11:09] Like like you would you would comfort someone after like they just got out of like a terrible car accident. Oh my

[01:11:17] like yeah

[01:11:19] Then on off for about 30 seconds. I

[01:11:23] Start having a sensation

[01:11:25] Like so is slowly and delicately cutting my face

[01:11:29] With a straight razor

[01:11:32] and I was like what the fuck is going on and

[01:11:37] that's

[01:11:38] That's how just like intense this music is Wow. They're done with the Hanging Man

[01:11:45] you know, he gets a drink of water or one's kind of tuned up real quick and I came over with this time or

[01:11:51] the next time but I

[01:11:53] Think actually they play the way which is a new song and it's a very

[01:11:57] Honestly like a very pretty song on the bass player whose name escapes me right now

[01:12:02] Had this instrument that sounded like a hammered dulcimer, but didn't look like any hammered dulcimer ever seen

[01:12:08] Look I had like a piano roll

[01:12:11] On it like a keyboard that you had like little keys you played out and that would strike the note

[01:12:17] Okay, so maybe that's some sort of modernized hammered dulcimer that I don't know like the problem for

[01:12:24] But he's playing this really beautiful

[01:12:26] Bit and

[01:12:28] Michael Gears got these lyrics are just like they're really clear because it's such a quiet song compared to the last

[01:12:34] 90 or so minutes. It's still like grinding your face into the fucking asphalt but

[01:12:41] comparatively

[01:12:42] this is just such a the contrast the balance of the strikes is so heavy and

[01:12:49] That song ends and he goes in our simple are and he's got his arms out the signal the band the start up again

[01:12:55] When he stops he looks at these these folks right in front of him and they're younger

[01:13:00] These are probably people like in their early 20s the oldest and he's like, can you not text?

[01:13:07] Well, no for me. Oh, no, you know how when you're talking someone they're on their phone and they're texting how rude it is

[01:13:14] Well, I'm up here singing for you and you're texting and you know, then please don't take to me foes me

[01:13:22] I don't like my face, you know, but he's like kind of ending it with like a little bit of a chuckle

[01:13:27] You know just yeah

[01:13:28] and I think that is a big thing for Michael Gera and

[01:13:31] My time interacting with him and hearing other people's things. He really just wants you to be fucking present

[01:13:37] Doesn't want you to be distracted because this is very serious music to him

[01:13:42] And I think his opinion is it not you shouldn't just be treating me like this

[01:13:46] You anytime you should go to a show. Yeah our performance you should be

[01:13:51] There present stop fucking off. Yeah here you paid for this

[01:13:55] I hope you would appreciate what we're doing here. You came to have an experience. Let's have an experience together and of course

[01:14:03] Michael Gera is kind of a hothead. And so when he started this

[01:14:08] Talking to these folks. I thought this was gonna be like a profanity laden rant, you know

[01:14:13] Fuck you

[01:14:14] You don't get the fuck out of my show or something like that cuz there's unfortunately lots of clips of him

[01:14:18] Right like yelling like that people for being on their phone or taking too many photos or something like that and

[01:14:24] It was really weird

[01:14:25] The hit is like he seems like he's actually a good mood

[01:14:28] And I you know, I say all these things that he's an asshole that but also my experience Michael Gera can also be a pretty

[01:14:34] appreciative and kind of a generous person

[01:14:37] Like is totally in his capacity to be pleasant in this moment or less of an asshole that he might have been

[01:14:43] Another times actually was I had lunch with Burt today, I brought that up to him

[01:14:47] He didn't stay for that show. He's like, oh, I think he's he's sober now and he's like, yeah

[01:14:51] My interactions with him before the show were all pretty positive

[01:14:55] This is a guy that has given Burt a bit of a hard time in the past

[01:14:59] So he's like, yeah, it was actually kind of nice. He just was uh, you know

[01:15:02] He's just a little bit intense instead of like wanting to make me cry or something

[01:15:06] But then it went into another song called red yellow, which is a little bit more intense

[01:15:13] And then went into a song called birthing

[01:15:16] which is

[01:15:19] Like swans the experience, okay because there's

[01:15:24] Weird baby samples, so I think it's his son

[01:15:28] Which bleeds into red yellow or red blue or blue yellow, whatever it's called into birthing

[01:15:34] It's really fucking loud that has these really pretty

[01:15:39] Beautiful moments is red yellow. Yeah. Yeah these really beautiful moments and it gets really fucking loud again

[01:15:46] The lyrics are super interesting

[01:15:49] I mean, it's all shit that feels like you know

[01:15:52] There should be the demons that are outside of the the flame of your campfire

[01:15:57] The illumination of your campfire at night. It's really stuff that feeds into the darkness of your imagination and

[01:16:04] It was over he said thank you and he asked for the lights to go up and so the lights over the crowd went up

[01:16:12] And he got a good look at people and he just seemed really pleased with himself

[01:16:17] Which was a nice moment because this was a guy who's again

[01:16:22] 70 fucking years old fucking slapping himself in the face

[01:16:27] Screaming just really giving a lot of himself to this room and to see that energy

[01:16:34] Returned so much by the crowd was really fucking nice. It was like the crowds turned to be loud

[01:16:41] Yeah, and he's like, you know, I'll be I'll be back signing stuff

[01:16:45] You know in about 20 or so minutes and I ran into a local man about town Jim Utts

[01:16:50] Oh, yeah, and he had a

[01:16:53] Bag on him that had I think every single

[01:16:57] swan's record

[01:16:59] On vinyl like even the stuff that's really super rare from my understanding

[01:17:03] So we get in this line after we're talking for a little bit

[01:17:07] And he gets up there and he's got all these records and he's talking to the Gira and he's like, you know

[01:17:13] I'm really sorry to have all these but you know, like I have them all here

[01:17:17] My wife brought him up and he just smiles at Jimmy's was one time

[01:17:21] I had to sign like 35 our LPS a day. So I think this I think I'm okay

[01:17:26] I

[01:17:28] Come up to him. I'm like

[01:17:31] I just take the fucking muffs

[01:17:33] Camera bag. I'm like these are my girlfriend. She couldn't make it

[01:17:36] I think she would really like if if you sign these and he gives me a weird look and he signs them and

[01:17:42] He's like, yeah. Thank you. I'm like, no man. Thank you. And I'm like my girlfriend is gonna be so mad. Yeah

[01:17:50] Hey, babe, I got your your shooting range ear muffs signed by the spooky monster man

[01:17:57] No, not Rob Zombie

[01:17:59] The other one the other one the guy in the cowboy hat no, no, not Rob Zombie

[01:18:04] No other one. Oh, yeah

[01:18:06] You got to be more specific the 70 year old one. No, not Ross

[01:18:09] Yeah

[01:18:11] but

[01:18:13] Yeah, that was just a really interesting experience of then too nice for now

[01:18:18] I'm photographing AJJ who are opening up for say anything at ye olde pageant a what a combo

[01:18:25] What a combo what a combo. Yeah, I've seen I did load in for say anything once their crews really nice

[01:18:32] I'm sure it's not 100% the same people but I remember the guys in the band being really professional

[01:18:37] Which is kind of that's worth so much and that in this house like if you can just be like

[01:18:42] basic polite

[01:18:43] Like everyone everyone everyone working a show is gonna love you if you just especially if you're touring I understand

[01:18:49] Yeah shit's gonna go wrong and have a bad day or whatever

[01:18:52] But just like fake it for like ten minutes and like be nice for a second and the words of Thor who used to play

[01:18:58] Not Thor Jensen, but yeah, the Thor the musician Thor

[01:19:03] Actually wrote a thing that went viral in like 2011 about like the realities of touring like you

[01:19:09] You don't think that because this is your job. You're not you you're not allowed to have a bad day

[01:19:13] But just don't take it out on people. Well, yeah Martin Atkins big-face pill

[01:19:19] Public image limited and any number of other things in the book band smart

[01:19:24] I think he actually included that that bit from Thor as a as the thing in the book and yeah, but

[01:19:31] Tour smart and book smart or band smart

[01:19:33] Yeah

[01:19:34] They're both probably the definitive text about like being in a band and doing those sorts of things and like yeah

[01:19:40] It does it costs nothing to not be a prick

[01:19:43] Oh, yeah

[01:19:44] In my capacity like in the industry like if you're pleasant to me I'll fucking do anything

[01:19:50] Yeah, like it goes a long way. Yeah, because like well, I'm here to help you right don't treat me like an asshole

[01:19:57] Yes, I will go take your tour manager to go fill her prescription at the Schnucks down the street

[01:20:01] I'll go get you a Pappy's whatever, you know, whatever

[01:20:04] Like if you're pleasant, you don't even have to like tip me

[01:20:07] No, like sign anything for me just be decent, right? It doesn't take much

[01:20:12] Doesn't take much but yeah, that's a another sold-out show. I think the semper is which is tomorrow night might be sold out December

[01:20:19] Says yes. Yeah

[01:20:21] That was another one. I was trying to get for my wife as a gift before settling on death cab

[01:20:25] I think you might got the better show. I probably did yeah

[01:20:28] Oh, she's a big Decemberist fan. So sure, but I'm a bigger fan of the other two

[01:20:33] So I was like this is a win for all of us Bert was telling me today cuz I was telling about

[01:20:38] You know, I'm not like the biggest fan of death cab or

[01:20:42] Postal service, but that was a really fucking fun showing. He's like, do you know the crazy thing is like they're touring fucking smart

[01:20:47] I'm like, yeah, what's up? He's like they only got three trailers and like a tour bus

[01:20:51] Yeah

[01:20:52] He's like yeah when you're doing tours like that usually like in rooms and like stadiums and stuff, you know

[01:20:57] If they're smaller ones, that's usually like five to like 12 trailers

[01:21:03] They made a real effective use of a minimal presentation. They had a really good light set up like

[01:21:09] Everything was real tight. Well, because you know, you're sharing some band members

[01:21:13] You don't have to have as many you know

[01:21:15] Don't have to have as much set up same drum kit we can use the same drum kit every night

[01:21:19] You know, that's a built-in thing of all knowing each other and kind of you know be oh, yeah from a fiscal

[01:21:26] Stand point. I'm sure it's fucking doing gangbusters

[01:21:28] But but also yeah touring smart. Absolutely touring smart. Well, Las Campesinos

[01:21:34] Yeah, they're on a little tour the United States and they're like on

[01:21:38] Social media kind of like begging people to come out because it's like well

[01:21:41] You know

[01:21:42] We can't slum it like we used to when we were took as our British band like we used to any tour

[01:21:46] The states because like you know, we got kids now

[01:21:47] We're bringing kids with us and like a tour bus like you know, it costs like 50 grand a rent one a week

[01:21:53] Yeah, so that's already, you know eating there already. Yeah. Well those camp

[01:21:57] I was so pissed because it was Los Campesinos and Johnny foreigner

[01:22:01] Yeah, I still think I have the Johnny foreigner shirt somewhere who have not toured in the States since still pissed about

[01:22:08] Did you go to the plush show?

[01:22:10] No, I knew someone that ran into the singer and the stairwell and plush was such a weird fucked up venue

[01:22:18] He ran to him and like a stairwell and he was like, oh hey

[01:22:23] I'm so glad to see you guys site. That showed the fiber was so cool and the singers apparently smile

[01:22:28] This place is a whole lot different. Yeah. Well, yeah

[01:22:32] I'm sure I've told the story here before about the time I did in studio KJX with a band

[01:22:36] I can't remember who they were. They were really fucking good

[01:22:39] But there they were playing it plush and they're like a fucking indie ass indie band

[01:22:44] Like I don't think ever really had been to the market before

[01:22:47] And I'm like what guys are playing plush your first time is pretty crazy and they're like what do you mean?

[01:22:53] It's like a fucking 600 cap and like they all go fucking pale was that girl in a coma no, no

[01:23:02] That was at that show though. They were a band that was associated with like a place of British strangers and like death by audio

[01:23:07] I can't remember. I think they practice at death by audio

[01:23:10] Okay, but a bunch like DBA gear and like there again, they were really cool guys are like

[01:23:15] Oh god, we thought it was a smaller room because their website was so bad. Oh

[01:23:20] Like you guys really should have played the firebird like we looked at their website and their website was so nice

[01:23:26] We're like that rooms probably too big for us. Oh

[01:23:29] I'm not sure how these wires got crossed

[01:23:31] But but for the folks at home plush was a venue that had a website that was so web 1.0 bad

[01:23:38] Oh, it's got there were like people who were like working for like the best web design companies in st

[01:23:45] Like I think personally I will personally redesign the website for free as a passion product project

[01:23:52] I think like atomic dust or something even

[01:23:55] Like offered and she for like it was either them or spark. I can't remember

[01:23:59] Yeah, but they're like we will redesign this terrible website for free and I think the other she was just like no no

[01:24:05] foolish behavior

[01:24:07] Foolish behavior. I'm trying to think what else is going on

[01:24:11] As I scream into the beer can I've got one if you if you go for it

[01:24:16] Go fuck out wild. So we finished Resident alien season 3 they do the half season thing now

[01:24:22] So we're at the halfway point of season 3 that's fine

[01:24:26] But I was very very looking forward to the three body problem

[01:24:30] I am now most of the way through the three body problem and I can verify that it is a great adaptation

[01:24:38] There are some odd

[01:24:40] Choices that they made in adapting it

[01:24:44] Originally in the book the five scientists that become our main characters and in this first of the three books

[01:24:50] were strangers in

[01:24:52] The television adaptation that Netflix has they made them know each other

[01:24:58] Which okay where it's fine. Sure. It's not it's not really that big a deal

[01:25:02] It doesn't change the plot all that much

[01:25:04] It just means that their relationships are a bit more defined which kind of helps

[01:25:08] If you're coming into a show with no context like my wife had never read the book. She didn't know anything about it

[01:25:15] Thank you

[01:25:17] Everyone somebody got to throw it in there as an adaptation goes. I think it hits all the important points it has

[01:25:25] The scenes from the book that always grabbed me which is the especially the opening

[01:25:30] Early to mid 60s. I can't remember if it's 67 or 68

[01:25:34] During the Cultural Revolution in China. This woman's father is beaten to death in a struggle session for

[01:25:41] refusing to

[01:25:43] Stop teach the theory of relativity

[01:25:46] Because it was developed in the West

[01:25:48] And so he says no, you know, it's a founding principle of physics

[01:25:53] The wife sells him out and he is whipped with a belt and dies on stage. That's the opening of the show

[01:26:00] See also the opening the book the inciting incident which kicks off an entire chain of events that leads to

[01:26:08] Some real deep sci-fi conundrums, so I've heard yeah, I'm really enjoying it

[01:26:13] They've got not Charles dance, but a reasonable substitute the guy who played

[01:26:19] The guy who played the the guy with the missing fingers in Game of Thrones because it is a

[01:26:23] The guy played Davos Seaworth Davos Seaworth. Thank you

[01:26:26] Yes, the guy who played Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones is in there as a mysterious figure who kind of brings all these

[01:26:32] people together

[01:26:33] It's visually very exciting the director and all the crew

[01:26:37] They're really doing good work and they use the volume in an interesting way. I see this squinting of the eyes

[01:26:43] I know you have a problem with the volume and I do too because there is a certain

[01:26:48] Unreality feeling when you see something that was shot that way

[01:26:51] But in this show they're using it to show you how unreal this is this sure so they're using it

[01:26:59] To amplify this idea that what you're seeing is a simulation. It's like, okay

[01:27:04] This is a definitely a way you can exaggerate and use the qualities that the volume already has

[01:27:11] To kind of clue your audience in that this isn't real or that type of thing

[01:27:16] So I thought okay

[01:27:17] If you're gonna use it you might as well use it this way the main crux of it

[01:27:21] Have you read the third three by five? I have not I know I I know I should the crux of it is

[01:27:28] The whole thing whether using the volume is because there is an advanced

[01:27:32] VR

[01:27:33] game

[01:27:35] that these scientists are given and

[01:27:37] The idea is that if you solve this game you'll be inducted into a secret society

[01:27:43] Of people who know the truth about the universe, right?

[01:27:46] And so everyone who comes into the game comes into it with their own cultural baggage

[01:27:51] And so the setting of the game changes

[01:27:54] So if someone who was born and raised in China plays it

[01:27:58] They're gonna get a bit of Chinese history and then this British guy puts it on and he's getting British history

[01:28:04] So it's an interesting concept. They're definitely giving you the visual language to kind of parse this on your own boy

[01:28:11] There is a sequence in about the sixth episode

[01:28:15] where

[01:28:17] Advanced technology commits mass murder and it is like nothing I've seen on television is

[01:28:24] Truly stunning and it's grotesque and they pull no fucking punches and I'm like, okay

[01:28:30] I was not expecting this but alright

[01:28:33] So if you've got an eye for interesting science fiction or you know

[01:28:37] If you're just kind of like like a mystery show it's got both of those things going on it

[01:28:41] I like that and a lot of the science, you know just straight out of the book is

[01:28:47] relatively realistic

[01:28:49] There's a few leaps in logic here. You know, you have to kind of

[01:28:52] Leave some of that at the door

[01:28:54] But you know if it follows in a very old-school hard sci-fi tradition of like we're gonna use

[01:29:01] Technology that we understand now to explain what this future slash alien

[01:29:07] Thing is and kind of it's grounded in reality and I really like that it has

[01:29:13] In episode 6 this at the same episode where this great visual thing happens

[01:29:18] There's also the single worst fucking needle drop in a television show. This guy is getting ready to

[01:29:25] He's getting ready to die. He's he's slowly dying and so he decides he's gonna go

[01:29:30] donate his money and his time to this

[01:29:33] Organization that's like I ever we're all about bringing peace to outer space and

[01:29:39] He's walking outside of this place and then all you just hear Lana del Rey's fucking video games going

[01:29:46] Of all the songs you can use for this moment. You chose

[01:29:54] So if I can forgive a show for that, you know, it's pretty good damn that's some girl fashion TV

[01:30:02] But yeah Netflix has it out and it's about eight episodes about an hour a piece it shouldn't take too long

[01:30:08] Yeah, hopefully they're gonna get to the second book

[01:30:13] Faster because it feels like they stretched out a little bit in this in this first season

[01:30:17] I'm hoping once and this is gonna mean nothing to you until you see the show

[01:30:21] But I'm hoping once that wall facers are introduced

[01:30:24] And you kind of get this there they guys that face the wall. Yes, do they hit the wall?

[01:30:29] Do they turn 30?

[01:30:32] No, no, I think a lot of these people are in their 20s, so I don't think they're gonna do that

[01:30:37] But the way the books are there's these huge time jumps

[01:30:42] Like hundreds of years in between the books

[01:30:45] And so the first season cast isn't coming back because they're not gonna be around anymore. Yeah, they got

[01:30:52] AIDS from the flower

[01:30:55] Yeah

[01:30:57] Yeah, sadly, you know they got

[01:31:00] Refined a sweater enriched flower AIDS

[01:31:05] The space AIDS. Oh no, they came back from Mars with more than just some samples

[01:31:15] Q-tip ain't gonna solve that brother. Don't bring your toothbrush exactly

[01:31:20] That's all I got those news is fit to print. Yeah, that's that's what I've got. That's that's a occupying my brain

[01:31:26] I'm good man. Let's put this baby the bed and go play EverQuest for 12 hours
