WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.120
press a button and we're live welcome to the lan show how's it going how was your

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.880
week how was your week it's the nash show it's the not showing

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:15.759
again buddy god about that i'm sorry we're in brazaro land

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:20.480
yes we're lazy james went by fast went by fast eh i guess i think uh

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.080
having really poor short term memory helps because

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.240
basically on every every monday people like what do people what'd you do this

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.599
weekend i don't i have no idea what i do

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:33.360
on friday yeah something not very novel

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:38.320
apparently right red books we have an interesting show today though

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:42.239
if you're if your weekend went by kind of quickly and was interesting as well

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:46.160
maybe this will be an interesting cap to the end of the rest of the week we're

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:49.680
talking about uh uh people not knowing that they're talking to ai

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.120
yes which is a surprising amount of sophistication from google duplex but

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:56.320
we'll talk about blue everyone's collective mind at their i o conference

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.879
earlier this weekend we're also going to talk about boston dynamics who's kicking

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:05.600
ass on the other part of robot futures yeah embodied part oh my put them

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:10.560
together and it can talk and move uh also nintendo has shared some details

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:16.799
about its switch online service which is coolio and rumors about the iphone 10

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.799
plus sized version of the future this fall the big one the big ten i thought

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.439
it was already pretty big no we'll talk about that okay i'm not really into the

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.119
whatever that's fine can you see his feet

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:32.400
when he's in the boat when he's in the boat yeah okay let's uh

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.960
huh again no not kind of the the one leg you can

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:42.479
you can see his yeah you can see the side of his leg you can't see his feet though you can there

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:51.920
that was one of the best like mario spring noises that's my best sound i can

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.920
do that's pretty epic

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:59.200
uh right i really wish i could do the tube spectrum yeah

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.719
established jerky and Linus isn't here hahaha also gonna eat all the maple

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:07.439
bacon fresh but

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:10.879
just reset this facebook and then go back to here

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:17.599
yes how's it going everyone i don't have the twitch chat open which makes me feel

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.599
strange i'm gonna fix that

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:23.040
you wanna let's just get right into google duplexes i think that was the

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:27.440
coolest thing i've seen at least all year i think

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:32.480
okay let's just assume that no one's our source is and uh sc2 mitch on the forum

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.519
is sc2 mitch yeah yes and i assume that stands for starcraft 2.

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:41.040
i've just always assumed that i'm gonna go with it i like it i feel like i've i've i've

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:45.760
been told what it's stood for before but i don't remember but i'm gonna go with

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.440
starcraft yeah yeah anyways i will never

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:51.519
trust anyone on the phone that goes uh-huh mm-hmm

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:54.640
that's it yeah yeah so at google i o which is their

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.319
conference every year for developers as opposed to the made by google hardware

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.319
event in the fall which is for consumer products at google i o this week they

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.319
were showing off all the new feature tech um that they're doing it's way

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.879
beyond Android now and one of the things they showed is a future service that's

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:12.640
gonna be rolling out later this year that they called what the hell

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:18.239
why does something weird happen like out there every time we're on they're

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:21.920
listening to us yeah um they're calling it google duplex and the idea here is

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:25.280
that in the future google's gonna help you get stuff done that's the google

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:30.080
assistant's job and one of those things that you need to get done a lot of the time is making a phone call to book

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.879
reservations at a restaurant or book a hair appointment or something like that

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:39.200
and these are the two examples they showed so uh sundar puts up on the screen behind

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:41.040
him a real recording of a real call and

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:43.760
i expect that they did hundreds or thousands of these calls and they

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.720
probably cherry picked and it seemed like there was the the person that picked up the phone was the same person

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:52.000
on like a few of them that i heard oh there's more than just the two he demoed

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:56.640
there's more calls you can listen to i think i heard three but i could be

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.799
really not remembering accurately again we've got a similar short-term memory

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:05.760
loss situation at least two for sure i heard one where it was a guy calling in

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.319
yeah and i to a chinese there was a girl calling in to something at her

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:13.200
appointment or something yeah those are the ones for my client yeah that's what he demoed okay yeah yeah so

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:19.600
on the screen we just see kind of a visualization of a phone call you get a little the google assistant logo

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:21.280
representing uh the robot or the ai and

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.240
then just like a phone logo representing the person and the person answers the phone and

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.320
says you know this is the hair salon how can i help you and then you hear this

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.960
impeccably human sounding voice on the other side

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.960
saying hey i'm calling on behalf of a client and i'm looking to book a hair appointment and then a conversation

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:40.720
ensues and the result of which is a hair

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:43.680
appointment is booked and then i guess the user's phone would receive a

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:47.919
notification that says you have got a hair appointment so you can just be like

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:52.000
hey assistant book me a hair appointment at this place

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:55.360
for this time or between this time between 10 and 12 on friday and then a

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:00.720
few minutes later you're going to get notifications as yep that's done

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:04.080
yeah um someone in chat said luke is skeptical

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.479
as usual i think it will work as advertised service people stick to a

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.240
script uh i i am skeptical but i think it will usually work because of what you

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:17.759
just said yeah usually when you're calling into a restaurant there's a fairly formulaic way that you would book

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.400
a reservation that is absolutely true right it's not even necessarily that they stick to a script it's just there's

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.759
fairly basic information information that needs to be passed back and forth

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.479
and it's not that complicated that's right so that kind of that kind of feeds

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:33.360
into how the voice sounds because it sounds

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:37.520
really realistic it sounds more realistic than the google assistant

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.759
voice it even sounds more realistic than the google assistant

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.560
voice using wavenet which is another thing they announced at io wavenet which

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:50.080
was a system that was outlined in a paper by google's

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:55.759
deepmind like 18 months ago was finally being integrated into the google assistant so this is just taking in raw

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.520
waveforms and and making your phonemes based on that it makes the google

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.120
assistant's voice way better they demoed that and it still wasn't as good as what

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:07.759
we hear on duplex which makes me think that what we hear on duplex for the most

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:12.080
part is pre-recorded sound bites you can hear it sounds a little inhuman

00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:16.479
when they say numbers and dates and times because that's kind of slightly

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:20.639
that's kind of turnkey they plug that in but the reason they would be able to use

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:26.960
pre-recorded sound bytes is because the possible set of interactions is much

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:31.680
decreased when you're in this kind of scenario where like you just need to do

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:35.120
this one thing and a lot of it is like let me check that for you or would you

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:40.080
mind going on hold for a second or something like that where you just need to like confirm so the amount of times

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.720
that's why i keep on saying that thing because the amount of time and

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:48.600
that's all you really need to say on the phone and that's often all you really say on the phone but the amount of times

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:57.039
the amount of times that the ai says it and does it very believingly very

00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:02.360
believably believably you got it um and like it's it's it's really good the one

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:06.560
thing that i noticed was there's like a slight delay like a

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:12.560
little bit more than i feel like most people would take before they say something but not very much and i think

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:17.120
to counteract that like they programmed in some delay like when you answer the

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:20.720
phone and say hello they program in a weight a b because no one just goes

00:07:18.479 --> 00:07:24.479
hello hello yeah yeah you wait a second right i know i might have been paid i

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:28.240
might have been trying to look for it they also programmed in um's i mean

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:33.759
there's gonna be some processing time too right yeah really cool so the reason

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:37.360
that they can do that is because when i'm talking to my google assistant i

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:41.759
could say anything to it and it has to be able to respond but

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:45.520
as this user on twitch says in this situation not only is the

00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:49.759
computer basically performing a script a narrow

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.400
set of actions of possible actions but so is a human because the human on the

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:58.240
other end is just trying to get some basic information from you someone's calling in what time do they want to

00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:01.199
come how many people everyone's complaining about the

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:04.720
contrast so i'm trying to fix it but i'm really bad i like that it's like an

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:08.960
instagram filter i'm really bad at doing anything related

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:12.240
to this at all so how brittle do you think this system is going to be when it

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:16.319
launches that's everyone's first complaint like what if someone just says

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:19.919
enjoying the weather we're having and it doesn't know what that means yeah

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.800
like if they need to do something and they're trying to carry on small talk yeah um

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.639
honestly there might be some stuff set in i wouldn't be too surprised if

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.640
there's some stuff set in uh to like basically cut those conversations off by

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:36.320
just using the yeah enjoying the weather we're having

00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:41.279
well another difference is that during the demo the assistant never announces

00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.800
itself as such it never says hey you're talking to a robot and a lot of people

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:50.320
got pretty angry about that but google has since the demo promised that when it

00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:53.680
rolls out it will announce itself as as a virtual assistant so then you're not

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.480
even going to have those problems because right you know you're talking to a person but

00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:01.839
you're not just going to hang up like you or me might when we answer our phone

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:04.880
and there's a robot there because it's business and you don't want to lose that

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.160
business you want that appointment to get amazing

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:12.480
most well most businesses probably wouldn't hang up

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.760
yeah i no i i completely agree because you want the business but i think it's i

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.080
think it's i didn't know that it was going to announce

00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:25.440
that's a new development okay because i feel like now if i was a

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:29.040
business if i had a text version i would just want that

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:34.320
oh you mean like if there's just an online web form yeah yeah i would rather

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.920
that google just filled that out well well you would have to pay for that

00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:41.600
though you have to build that that booking system whereas oh for sure but

00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:46.000
there's a lot of like open table for restaurants yeah there's open table

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:50.080
there's like uh a lot of different services like this have

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:54.560
services out there that work with them to pair it together now i don't know if opentable like takes

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:59.440
something i can't see how they could take a cut

00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:03.040
but like i'm sure there's some benefit there like maybe you have to pay them to

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:07.279
be on it or there's ads or something i have no idea there's another uh

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:11.760
angle with the virtual assistant announcing itself which is eavesdropping

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:16.079
laws so in at least a dozen states there's laws because it's

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:20.880
it doesn't have ears like you and me it's not hearing the conversation it needs to actually record the

00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:23.839
conversation and because the you're recording the conversation there's

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:27.760
states where every party on the in the conversation

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:32.560
each party has to consent to it being recorded so either has to say this is a

00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:36.320
virtual assistant can i record this

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:40.399
or maybe it can get away with just announcing this is being recorded and if

00:10:38.560 --> 00:10:42.800
you don't hang up you consent out another particular laws for each

00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:48.560
state i feel like that could work just you know this call is

00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:52.000
being recorded please hang up if you don't want it to be yeah but then

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:58.399
or maybe you you would have already started recording so i think you already

00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.120
broke the law so you'd have to be like this call will be recorded in however

00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:05.680
much time please hang i don't know i don't know that's weird maybe they just won't let

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:12.160
it well it doesn't no it doesn't necessarily have to have the gun recording yet

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:14.800
they can just say that script before

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:19.120
it starts hearing that's what i was saying yeah so they might have to delay

00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:22.240
when it starts recording right this call will be recorded in x amount of seconds

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:26.000
hang up if you don't want it to be and then start the conversation

00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:30.800
i don't know how to fix this for you guys i'm sorry i don't know camera stuff

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:35.600
i've slightly moved all the dials i went down and people hated it i went up and

00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:39.200
people hated it i don't know i'm sorry some camera person will have to fix it

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:42.720
eventually i don't know why rancho gets screwed up every week but it does we

00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:46.160
have way more lights this time so for the demo when they when the virtual

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:51.279
assistant was calling all these people when they're collecting this data and they're doing like their test runs they

00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:56.079
did presumably hundreds of these calls i think this is kind of like it might go

00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:58.079
down in the history books because when

00:11:56.079 --> 00:12:01.120
what other time like if we live in a future where there's a eyes that look

00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:04.800
like us and think like us and are better than us you're going to be able to look back in

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:08.560
time and point to a scenario where yep that was the first

00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:14.240
time that a human didn't know they were talking to an ai

00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:17.680
yeah because no one leaked this no one was like i think a computer

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.399
called me like i never saw an article about that

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:25.760
you know like they didn't know they just they talked and they hung up i mean

00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:29.279
there's been chat bots people could be talking to chat bots yeah there's the

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:32.320
touring test which again is chat based not

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:37.360
audio based but even in the touring test the

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:40.480
the participants they know that one of the congress the

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:45.760
one of the conversations they're gonna be having is gonna have an ai so like

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.760
they're looking out for it

00:12:47.839 --> 00:12:54.160
pretty cool and the turing tests could be used with

00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:57.440
chat with vocal chat in mind it could just be adapted for it

00:12:55.920 --> 00:13:00.959
like i know it's a specific it hasn't been conducted like that though yeah i

00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.760
know but like it could be you could be adaptive there's lots of ways to adapt

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:09.279
the imitation game because it's actually not that great of a test but anyway

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:13.040
yeah let's just go right into boston dynamics i think it's very cool i don't want to like play the audio on stream

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:16.959
because i don't know how well it's going to come out and all that kind of stuff but if you guys haven't heard of it

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:21.120
before now i would definitely look up google duplex and listen to the calls

00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:25.200
because it's way more interesting than it probably seems

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.000
in fact if you have it's i mean when you're on youtube it looks like the

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:32.560
video is three hours long but if you it's probably only an hour and a half and if you have that time i would say

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.920
watch all of i o there was a lot of i want to there's a lot of cool stuff in

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:39.120
there not just duplex duplex was definitely the coolest but before the

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:44.399
end of this weekend i will have seen the whole thing that's like have you seen the bit with lens no oh it's so crazy

00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:48.079
i've had almost no time i've been super slammed because now that they've got

00:13:45.839 --> 00:13:52.480
such good image recognition they're getting closer to google's end game goal

00:13:50.959 --> 00:13:56.480
which was information's coming at you without you

00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:00.000
needing to query it with like you're walking down the street let's say you

00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:04.000
have some cool glasses and you just look at a building the image recognition

00:14:02.079 --> 00:14:07.839
recognition knows that that building is the washington monument and then at a

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.959
card comes up with the information about it

00:14:09.199 --> 00:14:13.760
it looks so awesome and it's it's integrated with the ar kit so it's like

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.880
a nice distance away from you like there's nice depth oh yeah yeah so it

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:22.160
doesn't feel like it's like it's not just a window that comes up here it's like anchored to in space right it's so

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:26.079
sweet that's cool okay so now we have uh this well the

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.560
source is Linus's email thank you very much Linus's email uh and Linus wants to

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:34.240
talk about this one he does well that's why you send it to me

00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:38.959
why does he care i don't know i mean you can just do it no that's fine

00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:45.600
i can snipe them there's another nintendo one we can do i also don't with this one

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:48.560
no that's another Linus one okay the um uh

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:55.839
i don't care what we're talking about i'm freaking down i want to talk about uh boston dynamics sure because we're

00:14:53.680 --> 00:15:00.880
onto this robot like kind of kick right now yeah so this again was sc2 mitch who

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:04.079
posted it in the forum thanks ma dude boston dynamics they're amazing they

00:15:03.199 --> 00:15:09.519
make bewildering robots like new backflips and stuff they have a kick-ass youtube

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:12.639
channel you saw the door opening one right yeah yeah right it holds up it

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.240
holds the door open for the other one to walk through go to their youtube channel

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:20.320
it's so cool every few months they upload a new video what what the

00:15:17.839 --> 00:15:24.160
progress they've made and two days ago they did that they uploaded two new

00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:27.040
videos one shows the atlas robot can we play it

00:15:25.040 --> 00:15:29.839
yeah we don't need audio or anything no yeah this is i want to put this i'm

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.279
going to make this into a gif and put it on my twitter and pin it this is so

00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:36.639
inspiring oh no here we go it's grammarly

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.680
look at that thing

00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:48.240
you can do it little buddy uneven ground grass

00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:52.320
variable friction yes that's a different type i want the rocky theme in the

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:55.279
background yeah i wanted to go up the steps

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:58.079
wish he raised his arms up he does that in the backflip video

00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.120
oh yeah yeah no that makes sense yeah yeah it's cute

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:07.680
yes so sweet but imagine how hard that is to run

00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:11.440
i know kids who can't run that's amazing man the only thing is in

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.720
most of their videos when they have one of their robots walking around somebody

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:19.759
kicks it or pushes it with a hockey stick or something and they don't do that in this video and i would assume

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:24.079
that's because it can't take it yet because if they could take it they'd

00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:25.199
show it yeah it also looks like uh those

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:29.519
are what do you call this linear hips

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:34.240
oh yeah so if they hit the side it'll probably just tip over oh yeah i see

00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:38.000
yeah i wanna give me a figure eight here but at the same time it might be able to

00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:42.000
the arms aren't so they might be able to teach

00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:46.639
they're coming off but we just play that again and again like this it's the jump

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:50.040
i just want to make sounds

00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:50.040
where is it

00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:53.120
how you doing

00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:03.279
i love that you can make that noise i've never heard anyone do that before i

00:17:01.839 --> 00:17:07.280
really wish i could do the going down a tube sound not even i don't know if a

00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:11.120
human yeah yeah

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:14.640
i can't even possibly the only reason why i went to two so people would know

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.000
what we were even talking about that's not bad i want to see that robot juke a

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:21.199
football player out you know like go this way and spin or something yeah

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:27.280
that'll be epic see it would need it would need multi-directional hips you're right

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:30.000
because just doing this won't work yeah so the second video that they uploaded

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:35.360
was their spot mini which is the smaller

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:39.600
quadruped dog-like one it's the one that you might have seen videos where it has

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:42.720
a weird ARM slash head slash whatever you want to call it that opens doors and

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:46.960
recycles cans in this video it doesn't have that

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:52.480
instead it has this extra little modular on the on the back this white box

00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:56.480
and what you're watching is this thing navigate itself it's kind of

00:17:54.880 --> 00:18:01.039
self-driving right now yeah it has a route that i believe it's

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:04.400
trying to do and it's it's just moving through space if you click forward in

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:10.799
the video they'll actually put a render on the side of the screen to show you the data that it's seeing

00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:13.200
yeah there we go so

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:16.559
uh reading up if you look at the description of the youtube video what it

00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:21.280
actually says is it's not uh inherit it's not going

00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:25.200
through this as a novel situation they've actually

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:29.760
manually piloted the robot through this area first to teach it okay to map it

00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:33.360
and then it goes through on its own after that

00:18:31.679 --> 00:18:37.360
which is still useful i mean if you're but it's not trying to i don't think

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:41.520
yes but i don't think it's trying to follow so some people might think like

00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:44.480
okay i've done this once so it's going to do like exactly step by step i think

00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:48.240
it's trying to go to the same destination correct but it's still like

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:53.120
like they could have put a box in the way or something and it would be able to deal with it that's right it's not on

00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:57.120
like a set path yeah it's just going through a known space it's like they

00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:00.960
gave it a map but like it still had to get there which i mean self-driving cars

00:18:59.120 --> 00:19:04.240
do have that yeah yeah

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:08.000
i just wanted to clarify because some people don't understand yeah that's

00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:10.559
pretty sweet um i mean the fact that it has to drive

00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:15.039
through first it seems like it would limit the applications if you're thinking about

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:17.600
like a conflict zone then you know you're not going to be able to bring

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:22.000
this thing in first but maybe you could fly in a small drone first or use a

00:19:19.520 --> 00:19:26.160
different type of robot to or different type of vehicle to map the area it's

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.960
also this is also completely autonomous navigation

00:19:27.679 --> 00:19:34.480
so like if you're bringing in another robot you could like you could use this

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:36.720
as some sort of like patrol or to check

00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.679
your own areas or something like that and have manually controlled things to

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:43.039
check out areas that you haven't seen before right go back to the part where

00:19:41.679 --> 00:19:48.640
it's on the stairs there's actually uh something you'll notice when it gets to the top of the

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:51.360
stairs and it wants to turn around again so

00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:56.400
you can think we're looking at its butt right now right now skip ahead just a brush it's like

00:19:54.559 --> 00:20:00.640
it's face right so it gets to the top now it wants to go

00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:00.640
back

00:20:03.760 --> 00:20:09.520
it wants to go down and see how it turned around it's like its legs are

00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:11.919
optimized for kind of one direction so now

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:17.919
relative to what we were looking at before it was kind of going backwards down those stairs

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:23.679
now is he gonna yeah so he always wants that end to be lower face down ass up

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:30.559
i guess it's got those grasshopper legs yeah i want to see this thing jump did

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:36.000
you see that other one they have that's on wheels it rips around and it could jump like

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:39.600
four feet or something yeah that thing was crazy i love that thing i don't know

00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:44.400
the name of that one but it's so badass these guys are the best are those that's

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:46.000
like murdered friends did you see that

00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.440
do you see that maybe they're sleeping look at that oh god

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:57.440
oh they're all mangled that one is like ah i'm okay too many hockey sticks

00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:04.000
yeah it's too hard why are you still kicking us no so okay uh i read that and

00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:07.280
i was googling about it and then i was i came across this other articles like

00:21:05.760 --> 00:21:12.320
hold up stop the press spot mini is going to be

00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:15.679
on sale next year in 2019 you're going to be able to buy

00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:19.120
one of those things oh my much i didn't know it doesn't say they don't say but i

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:23.520
didn't think these things were going to be for sale of the general public like

00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:28.000
anytime soon so it says okay i can't wait for the the

00:21:25.679 --> 00:21:32.640
like the casey neistat drone review of this we gotta get one

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:35.679
for sure no i'm just saying like it just seems like the kind of thing he would

00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:40.240
buy we yeah like ride it around new york

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:43.840
somehow i think we should we shouldn't even do a sponsored thing we should just

00:21:41.840 --> 00:21:47.679
outright buy one so we can have it around all the time i want to put my

00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:52.080
lunch on it and like get it to carry it down the stairs for me and stuff

00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:56.720
you can get it we've got to get brandon to rig a camera onto it

00:21:55.120 --> 00:22:00.000
you can get different attacks yeah and you know have you ever seen it

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:05.360
do the chicken head thing where it can move its body but the

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.400
the head stays in one position yeah so

00:22:05.360 --> 00:22:10.000
we could do that with it's like basically a gimbal

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:12.799
that would be cool like we don't need to hi you know the video where we were

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:16.240
saying we're hiding in another shooter we're not we're just gonna wait it out

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:19.840
spot minnie we're just getting the spot mini to walk around

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:24.159
things awesome last 90 minutes it's all electric obviously it's wireless um you're

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:29.280
probably not going to buy one when they come out they're probably going gonna be stupid expensive probably gonna be tens

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:33.200
of thousands of dollars yeah um and not really for you yet although it

00:22:31.280 --> 00:22:37.360
will be probably for governments and pmcs mostly it's gonna be a consumer

00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:42.480
product eventually that's their hope a couple years after that so right now there are 10 spot mini prototypes in

00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.320
existence i guess not counting the murdered ones

00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:50.480
and they're hoping to make one like a total of 100 by the end of this year and

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:54.559
then sell them next year so they think it'll be useful for security patrols or

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:59.280
helping construction companies keep tabs on what's happening at the building site

00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:03.440
so security overnight okay and security patrol pretty much and

00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:07.440
you can get specialized attachments for different types of jobs yeah

00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:11.600
i like the idea of it auto following someone with a camera

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.559
that's cool paramilitary company what would happen

00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:17.679
if you put little roller skates on each foot private

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:25.760
just like just like how you troll the normal dog yeah yeah putting socks on it

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:29.120
i don't want this please stop

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.679
that's super cool though uh what else do you want to talk about

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:39.440
uh you wanna talk about this tickets thing yes this is kind of uh

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:42.000
a low-tech thing yeah but it's it's a problem that

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:48.559
plagues a lot of people that are probably watching right now here's the problem with tickets

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:52.720
the thing there's a big economic problem with uh with ticket sales free economics

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:55.919
the podcast did a sweet episode about this actually when you go to buy concert

00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:59.760
tickets there the price of those concert tickets

00:23:57.919 --> 00:24:05.039
actually isn't driven by normal capitalist market dynamics this is

00:24:01.760 --> 00:24:07.120
supposed by wm groom ak on the forum

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:10.960
yeah who's a baller and i like him even more now that i know he's a ninja nails

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:14.320
fan like i am because anyone who likes science nails likes it a lot

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:18.799
anyway when you tickets are basically too cheap

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:22.799
because artists want all their fans to be able to come and see them if they

00:24:20.159 --> 00:24:26.880
were priced accordingly like just by supply and demand they'd probably be a

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:29.840
lot more expensive and they are a lot more expensive when people are able to

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:34.400
scalp them which they're able easily able to do

00:24:31.600 --> 00:24:38.880
with bots and so in order to reduce the number of bots scalping tickets uh the

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:43.840
band nine inch nails or trent resiner has made the decision on their upcoming

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:48.480
tour this fall to not sell any tickets online at all they're going old school

00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:51.279
you have to go and line up and buy them and you can't even line up overnight or

00:24:49.919 --> 00:24:55.360
anything like that you can't line up prior to 8 a.m you have to just like

00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:59.120
show up and it's like a mob of people and then organize yourself in a line or

00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:03.200
maybe even a lottery system they talked about some venues maybe the

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.960
employees just come out and go okay like you you you you're at the front and it's

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:10.559
just like random because just because they don't sell online

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:14.559
doesn't mean there won't be scalpers right yeah scalpers can just pay someone

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.679
20 bucks to stand there there is a limit of four tickets per

00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:21.679
person hopefully that will reduce the scalping

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:26.240
okay i don't think that will completely solve it it won't but it'll it'll make it dent

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:30.320
yeah it's it's it's interesting this has been

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:34.960
really frustrating with like so my my dad and my group of friends have

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:39.200
been going to pax prime since i was like 14 or something or 15 i don't remember

00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:42.640
we've been going for a very long time when we first started going you could

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:47.120
walk up and go to the desk and buy a ticket and

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:54.559
walk in because they're oh wow there wasn't enough fans and now for pax west

00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:55.600
like pax prime as as i know it um they

00:25:54.559 --> 00:26:00.480
sell out in seconds and like they do this crazy

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:05.120
queuing thing and there's limits per person and like they do ip lock and like

00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:08.640
all this crazy stuff doesn't matter completely gone immediately and there's

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:12.559
an insane amount of scalping just outside of pax there's like many people

00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:17.039
scalping stacks of tickets every single year and there's an insane amount of

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:19.840
scalping online there is a really nice community

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.919
online where there's a bunch of different communities that sell them at

00:26:21.760 --> 00:26:26.480
cost okay because it's like oh i bought too many my friend can't go whatever

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:30.159
that kind of stuff i suspect those communities have a whole

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:34.320
bunch of people in them yeah just buying them and scalping them

00:26:31.760 --> 00:26:37.679
yeah but but i do know a lot of people that have gotten tickets at cost that

00:26:36.159 --> 00:26:40.080
needed them from those communities so it is working to a certain degree so that's

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:44.960
cool but like it really sucks when

00:26:43.600 --> 00:26:50.640
me and my friends who have been going since pax was really small and like

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:54.480
barely a convention are now struggling to be able to go even

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:58.880
though we've been loyal this whole time it's just like ah man that kind of sucks

00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:03.360
we still make it every year we somehow make it but it's just well you could

00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:08.000
always pay a bunch more yeah yeah we i don't think we've had to do like oh we

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.720
have to buy like two single days or something like that we've never had to

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:15.039
buy like entire sets of tickets for every person

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:19.039
from scalpers we've never had to do that there are other approaches rather than

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:21.760
going full stone age that have been experimented with one of

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:26.480
them is basically kind of verified

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:30.159
you buy your ticket you pay for it but you don't really have it until you show

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:33.440
up with your identification with the credit card that bought the

00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:37.600
tickets then you're let in and they print the tickets for you at that time

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:43.440
there's problems with that though because you cut you want there to be a secondary market you know you don't you

00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:46.880
want to be able to buy them the week before because you just found out or

00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:51.200
like you're visiting that city yeah um you want to be able to buy online like

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:54.720
oh nine channels fans are die hards people travel i one's not a concert by

00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:57.360
the way i've seen them five times once at a concert i was

00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:01.679
there and there was a lady who had followed

00:28:00.080 --> 00:28:06.559
them across europe she'd seen them like 28 times she had a stack of picks four

00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:10.880
tambourines she got an autograph from him and then got that autograph tattooed

00:28:08.159 --> 00:28:13.760
on her body like she was insane people want to be able to see oh they're

00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:19.039
not coming to vancouver but they're going to seattle i'm going gonna buy a ticket for seattle

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:23.600
yeah but i'm not gonna drive out there and get in an online

00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:27.679
on the hopes that i can buy a ticket and then drive out there again for the show

00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:30.720
yeah there's really no like great solution

00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:35.200
um and it sucks

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:38.880
i love the quote here speaking of sucks um what does he say here

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:42.399
we decided to try something different that will also likely suck but in a

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:46.320
different way we're hoping many of you will be happy with results while some

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:51.600
may do what they always do and about it yeah like there's and there's no other

00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:55.120
way to say it he's trying something it's probably not gonna completely it

00:28:53.120 --> 00:28:58.399
definitely won't completely work uh i think i think for them they're just

00:28:57.120 --> 00:29:03.919
gonna have to try to like weigh the noise it's trade-offs yeah and just like

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:05.600
see how much less or more negative their

00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:08.960
new solution is it's not they're never gonna have like a perfect solution there

00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:13.520
was one other solution that's been tried i believe by ticketmaster called

00:29:10.320 --> 00:29:15.120
verified fan you ever heard of that no

00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:19.520
it's i believe they take a certain number of tickets or maybe certain

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:24.240
sections and what you do is you have to register like ahead of time to kind of a

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:27.520
community forum that'll be on in this case ticketmaster's website where you

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:32.080
have to do all these different things that signal that you're a true fan

00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:36.159
you've got to engage with so many posts you've got to like

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:42.399
i think that's basically it like you're on it's like a process okay to to verify

00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:43.840
yourself it's not just i log in see that

00:29:42.399 --> 00:29:48.159
that almost makes me kind of happy and like something that i've wanted from pax

00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:52.240
for a long time is like okay so i've bought tickets to pax west for like 12

00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:56.159
years it would be nice if you knew that

00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:02.399
yeah but so let me buy another one they have to know they scanned you in yeah or yeah but

00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:06.720
then like maybe i have like a profile and yeah scalpers

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:10.640
could still do this but i was gonna say like i sign in at the event and i'm

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:15.200
showing you like yeah i'm showing up every day this is me you can check me

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:19.039
every time if you want like make make some process that you can go through

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.960
that gives you some form of elevated account well even what you just described would introduce

00:30:21.679 --> 00:30:26.399
quite a bit of friction to scalpers because if you're scalping 10 tickets

00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:30.480
and then all those people arrive at like the same time and you can't wait in line

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:34.080
10 different times you might it would be harder though whatever

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:37.919
introduces more friction and even the waiting in line 10 different times thing

00:30:35.919 --> 00:30:40.799
though like if you have to verify it by id and stuff

00:30:39.679 --> 00:30:45.440
they wouldn't be able to they'd only be able to scalp one set of tickets

00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:50.960
i actually got screwed by that ones i bought we spent life over no i think

00:30:48.399 --> 00:30:54.960
it was fine 560 bucks for red hot chili peppers tickets

00:30:53.120 --> 00:30:58.320
for four of them and i bought them on craigslist and they were printed out and

00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.880
they were black and white and the guy was super sketch

00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:06.720
and we didn't feel good about it so my buddy was also texting the same

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:11.440
person and after i bought them he continued to text them hey they're still

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:16.000
available yeah they sure are met up with them again and busted them

00:31:13.679 --> 00:31:19.679
didn't end up we we got like some collateral from the guy but he ended up

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:23.919
just foregoing it like we got his phone and stuff but he is because we're like

00:31:22.080 --> 00:31:27.919
we got your phone now you have to like give us a refund and he's like okay

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:31.520
i'll go get money out i'll come back like tomorrow kind of thing and he never

00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:35.520
did and the cops didn't care at all so we just had his crappy phone after

00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:39.440
and like and his debit card or something like that you took his phone from him

00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:43.519
okay i wasn't there i was i happened to be traveling i was but my friends who

00:31:41.679 --> 00:31:46.240
also were part of this and who are also larger than i am

00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:51.519
they confronted him and like had a stakeout and stuff it was cool but um

00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:54.559
in the end basically the deal is they could have sold these tickets a dozen

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:59.200
times and actually ours could have worked

00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.960
if we were the first ones who showed up yeah whoever gets there first and gets

00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:05.840
this ticket scanned the rest are inactive after that

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:12.320
so that was a drag what a guy it's just so

00:32:09.919 --> 00:32:16.240
junk i i don't like it when people when people prey on like the average person

00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:19.039
in general but it sucks too when someone's like so excited for something

00:32:18.159 --> 00:32:22.960
and they're gonna like they're gonna fork out the money for this band they really want to go see and they're like

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:26.799
yes i finally get to see them in concert and then they get like

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:30.000
screwed at the door and so bad that the person scanning their ticket is probably

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:33.279
like you're a terrible person you know what i mean and then you finally get in there you're

00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:37.279
like okay that all sucked but we're here and then

00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:40.720
the whole show is just actually someone else doing this in front of you yeah

00:32:40.840 --> 00:32:45.919
holy kill yourselves

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:50.320
i don't want to be ageless but young people are getting pretty bad at that

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:54.240
i've seen people i've watched people just like

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:58.480
just continually hold the button down and contribute each one to their story

00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:02.320
and then watch it themselves and then okay here's the people if you're the

00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:07.279
type of person that likes to take cell phone recordings for your instagram or

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:08.960
snapchat or just for video at a concert

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.320
know this every other person in the world when

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:17.279
they log into their snapchat or instagram and they're watching a story and that

00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:21.200
story is a dark room with crackling music

00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:26.159
they skip it man nobody watches it nobody you're ruining the experience for

00:33:23.679 --> 00:33:30.320
everybody for nothing including you you scheduled enough too almost certainly

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:33.919
there was there was there was one time i went to a blink 182 concert i've been a

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:38.000
i was a ridiculous fan of blick 22 for a really long time nice um not their new

00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:41.279
stuff take off your pants and jacket change your life yeah for sure and

00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:46.000
animal of the state and like uh what was the album before that

00:33:44.399 --> 00:33:50.480
they had one before that they had two before that so you like i thought and um

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:55.760
their first one no that was their first one where they were like a big deal oh

00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:59.440
yeah they also had a different drummer well that makes sense because he

00:33:57.840 --> 00:34:02.880
really catapulted them yeah travis is kind of

00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:06.360
incredible let's go to the discography

00:34:09.839 --> 00:34:17.200
yeah those those were great like oh yeah there's the album cover with the big the

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:19.520
aux's butt yeah the rump yeah i like the

00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:24.399
old punk stuff whatever i finally got to go see them in concert was so freaking

00:34:21.359 --> 00:34:26.639
stoked travis gets like pulled up into

00:34:24.399 --> 00:34:30.639
the air his drum platform gets elevated on these like like big chords and then

00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:36.320
they make it vertical they did yeah okay and he's like strapped into the thing he's fr it was the one of the coolest

00:34:34.240 --> 00:34:40.240
things i've like ever seen and i did like pull my phone out but i recorded

00:34:38.720 --> 00:34:43.040
like low the worst video that's ever existed just

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:47.919
because i was like i know it's going to suck but i want to just like be able to remember it

00:34:45.839 --> 00:34:51.760
and that's yeah so i don't think i sent it to two questions did you say did you

00:34:49.919 --> 00:34:55.200
watch that video again i did actually again and i deleted it immediately uh

00:34:53.760 --> 00:35:01.119
because it was completely useless do you think recording it hampered your experience no

00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:03.599
okay because again i didn't i didn't put it for my face

00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:07.440
i didn't put it in front of anyone's face man i went to the like pulled it

00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:10.720
out between a song okay and like it was it was yeah i

00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:14.240
didn't there's a way to do it and i think everyone gets one the first one's

00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:19.440
free i went to this folklore ballet in mexico

00:35:17.040 --> 00:35:23.890
city once and this someone phone recorded that no i wish they had

00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.839
ipad

00:35:25.839 --> 00:35:34.480
i wish okay if i was a dictator if you live in one of those dictator countries

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:38.560
one upside is you can make sweet or whatever silly law you want and if i was

00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:42.560
a dictator my silly law would be if you see someone taking a photograph or a

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:46.640

00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:03.920
mexico city oh yeah by the driver

00:37:01.200 --> 00:37:07.280
no he drove me to hospital oh no like we were uh

00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:11.839
we were stuck in traffic it was broad daylight near a tourist area sorry just

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:16.480
you can't just like drop that and yeah it was a minor stabbing we are stuck in

00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:20.320
traffic right when you're in gridlock you can't move and the mistake we made

00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:24.560
was that our Windows were down so they see a bunch of tourists Windows are down

00:37:22.720 --> 00:37:29.040
i'm sitting in the back and suddenly this there's a guy talking the driver at his

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:31.920
window so being in south america i assume okay this guy's telling us

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:37.200
something and then i see that they're like arguing and like he's got a knife and i'm like

00:37:35.359 --> 00:37:43.599
oh the driver is getting robbed and then i'm like oh we're getting robbed and by that time

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:47.440
his partner there was two of them had come to the other side

00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:51.119
and but everyone had their Windows down to different degree mine was like all

00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:55.040
the way down my buddy and i was behind the driver my buddy in the passenger

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:58.480
seat his window was like this much down and my wife's window was

00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:01.280
completely up and she was behind the driver

00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:05.839
excuse me that was something to do with the power was it not

00:38:07.520 --> 00:38:12.640
okay anyway so my my friend at the front seat

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:17.119
uh one of the assailants put his hand in that window gap and was like groping at

00:38:16.240 --> 00:38:23.440
his pockets to try to get his phone and meanwhile the guy on the driver's

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:26.560
side came to them stopped at a light yeah we're stopping gridlock traffic

00:38:25.200 --> 00:38:31.200
traffic and the other guy came to the back and was like yelling at me and my thought was

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:36.640
like why don't we just get out of the car and run away like they're not gonna chase us there's like a crowd of people

00:38:35.040 --> 00:38:41.040
everywhere like let's just exit the vehicle while they're like trying like

00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:44.160
yelling at us so i moved over toward my wife um

00:38:42.720 --> 00:38:48.079
but couldn't open the door because it's like locked because the car is moving

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:52.000
and basically i didn't i was probably this

00:38:49.839 --> 00:38:56.240
far from him from like the window like i'm in the middle seat and i couldn't

00:38:54.160 --> 00:39:00.160
understand what he was saying but i now know it was like give me the stuff where

00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:03.599
i'm going to stab you what he did was he reached he didn't

00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:07.920
want to hurt me and by the way this guy was like 19 tops he reached in and like

00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:12.079
started stabbing at my legs and he got me just above the knee and it went in

00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:16.880
like a half inch like nothing and uh it didn't hurt it it kind of

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:21.359
feels like it sounds if that makes sense kind of just like

00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:21.359
that

00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:29.119
okay and i was just like oh god damn it so then i grabbed a backpack that we had

00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:32.560
and i threw the backpack at him and that backpack did contain a dlslr

00:39:31.520 --> 00:39:37.920
camera the one only piece of cashmere i owned

00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:41.920
and don't own since like a sweater like a two pairs of sunglasses we got like a

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:44.160
decent haul and by the way insurance never ended up claiming it because it

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:49.520
was one of those situations where your insurance would go up and it wasn't worth it so we got that but he didn't

00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:52.960
get our passports oh i had just engaged or just become

00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:58.880
engaged i proposed my wife like the week before and the photos like i took a photo of

00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:02.480
her right after i took it after i proposed to her and she was like

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.760
teary-eyed and had the ring so those kind of sacred photos were gone which

00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:08.960
was probably the biggest drag but we still had our passports

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:14.320
and i just got my wife to give me her sweater and like tied her on the leg and then we took it took us like 45 minutes

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:18.400
to get to the hospital because you're in gridlock oh it was so chaotic man it was

00:40:16.560 --> 00:40:21.839
like traffic we had a police escort but they were still inept we went to the

00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:25.119
first hospital and decided that wasn't a good one

00:40:23.359 --> 00:40:28.240
like we were outside the hospital like are they gonna come and like

00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:32.880
bring out something and then like 20 minutes later like we're just gonna go to another one like

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.000
okay we got to drive down the wrong side of

00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:41.200
the road with like police sirens blaring and stuff and this uber is just like woo

00:40:39.040 --> 00:40:45.119
it was insane yeah it was pretty cool my cousin uh speaking of i've never been

00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:49.599
stabbed but my cousin when he was in high school there was another

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:53.599
kid at the high school i guess who his gang initiation was to stab someone god

00:40:52.160 --> 00:40:56.640
so he just like walked up to my cousin after school and stabbed him my cousin

00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:01.440
pulled the knife out and stabbed him back hell yeah which is like not really

00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:05.119
smart what is that like wounds and stuff that's badass but it was uh yeah my

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:08.640
cousins are insane he's got that fight response that's sweet killer instinct

00:41:06.640 --> 00:41:15.040
good for him i got the the fright response the flight response

00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:18.800
god damn it just take the badge well i couldn't have ran if i wanted i

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:22.160
don't know i did one yeah it felt it felt like you had the like disappointed

00:41:20.560 --> 00:41:26.319
and disappointed response i guess like why

00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:29.520
is this what's happening just i think the stupid thing i appreciate that he

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:33.520
stabbed my legs instead of like your chest it was so

00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.440
yeah he could have just been like i don't value human life like there's

00:41:35.359 --> 00:41:40.800
your neck or like yeah he i mean he could have slipped and got my femoral

00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:45.359
artery but um the damage that was incurred was worth

00:41:43.200 --> 00:41:50.079
it for the story right like right now i've been you have a scar yeah cool i'd

00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:53.680
show you but i have to take my pants off and the camera won't even see it so yeah

00:41:51.839 --> 00:41:58.000
it's not worth it yeah twitch is gonna be like get off the platform it's just

00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:02.800
it's too much stuff okay so the show's almost over oh yeah sponsors we should

00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.760
probably do sponsors yeah uh let's start with

00:42:03.680 --> 00:42:09.119
savage zurkay um

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:14.240
yurki which i'm sure they're gonna be okay with me saying it that way because

00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:20.240
they're amazing people with amazing stuff uh it's it's it's beef jerky it

00:42:16.720 --> 00:42:21.119
tastes amazing uh it's it's

00:42:20.240 --> 00:42:25.119
like they i don't know how to describe it very

00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:28.400
well it's just really good beef jerky sausages

00:42:27.040 --> 00:42:35.200
there's a whole bunch there's 13 different flavors my favorite one is this one it's just the standard moho you

00:42:32.720 --> 00:42:39.680
can also get crazy stuff like reaper which is like carolina reaper infused

00:42:37.200 --> 00:42:43.359
beef jerky there's bacon versions so there's like sriracha bacon if you're

00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:47.599
one of those many many people that are obsessed with sriracha

00:42:45.040 --> 00:42:51.280
or bacon or bacon which is like that's a pretty big crossover i think uh because

00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:55.280
i've been diagrammed there with like mostly over uh yeah

00:42:53.359 --> 00:42:59.280
uh it's it's they say it's jerky made with the best ingredients and it doesn't

00:42:56.640 --> 00:43:02.480
have nitrates or preservatives and their goal was to create a snack that was full

00:43:00.640 --> 00:43:08.079
of flavor and spice that wasn't bad for you it's it's good if you go to the website

00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:12.720

just the reaper one that one have you had that one yeah yeah i did it

00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:33.920
on the lan show slowly disarm you here it was uh i tried to play it cool like

00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:38.160
it wasn't that spicy but it was spicy it was

00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:41.839
spicy enough you'll remember yeah yeah do you have are these from no they're

00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:46.560
not there you go no these are laser james glasses these are not spectrum

00:43:43.520 --> 00:43:48.480
glasses and if you don't want to like uh

00:43:46.560 --> 00:43:51.599
look like laser james over there and you want to reduce

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:55.200
uh blue light from monitors to like help

00:43:53.520 --> 00:43:59.520
you fall asleep at night and all my alter ego

00:43:56.640 --> 00:44:03.599
reading james reading reading chants you can get spectrum glasses you can go

00:44:01.359 --> 00:44:07.280
to the website right here save 10 by using code Linus

00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:10.480
they say and this is totally a thing that staring at monitor all day can be

00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:16.400
hard on your eyes and also make it tougher to fall asleep the fall asleep thing is is important to me uh using

00:44:14.560 --> 00:44:21.280
software solutions like f.lux or twilight won't give you the same type of

00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:25.920
filtering that these kind of things can which is pretty cool uh they're stylish

00:44:24.240 --> 00:44:30.560
i don't know i think yours look pretty good uh i'm very hit or miss with glasses i

00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:34.160
don't think these look great on me but i those ones look great on Colton yeah i

00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:39.440
have had spectrum glasses that have looked good on me too um and i think

00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:43.680
those look good on you um i was wearing these for a while before i got like

00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:47.920
prescription glasses were those the specific ones these are the ones i was wearing at my desk for a while and

00:44:46.240 --> 00:44:52.640
sometimes i wore them just to look cool yeah they're pretty sweet is it working

00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:55.680
i think so uh they have low color distortion yeah that's totally thing

00:44:54.319 --> 00:45:01.119
there's there's a few of these that will like really hardcore make it look like

00:44:58.640 --> 00:45:03.920
everything's yellow yeah these don't and there's there's you can tell

00:45:02.319 --> 00:45:07.440
anything technically yeah there is technically some but it's not very

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:10.720
noticeable like white stuff still looks white there are there are some

00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:14.319
competitor glasses that i've worn that do make things look yellow and these are

00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:17.200
super light which i like because you can just

00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:21.359
you know yeah whatever you want they are

00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:23.760
primarily focused around canadian u.s markets in terms of like shipping and

00:45:22.640 --> 00:45:28.240
all that kind of stuff but they are expanding it to europe and they do offer

00:45:26.240 --> 00:45:31.359
international shipping they're expanding into europe now yeah i didn't know that

00:45:30.319 --> 00:45:36.560
yeah you know i went to school with the founder oh he's a nice guy his name's

00:45:34.240 --> 00:45:40.880
also james oh he's a nice guy buy his glasses cool i didn't know that

00:45:39.200 --> 00:45:43.440
um and if if you're thinking about expanding into europe

00:45:42.560 --> 00:45:49.040
uh maybe think about freshbooks

00:45:46.319 --> 00:45:53.599
that might simplify your accounting and free up enough

00:45:51.040 --> 00:45:58.079
uh of your finances to help you do that little push you need i don't know what

00:45:56.240 --> 00:46:02.400
market you might be in that that would be applicable to but it might make sense

00:46:00.160 --> 00:46:06.720
hell of a segue yeah it was it was fantastic uh if you do i know one thing

00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:12.640
that's really applicable to our audience is people who might be doing like little

00:46:08.720 --> 00:46:14.960
tech things on the side like i know

00:46:12.640 --> 00:46:17.520
a lot like Linus and i and most people that i know that are really into

00:46:15.839 --> 00:46:21.680
computers at one point in time really early on in their life they were like

00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:26.000
the person that all their friends knew that fixed and built and repaired and

00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:30.400
maintained all the computers around and you can turn that into a

00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:34.160
business um i did it for a few little shops there for a while and whatnot i

00:46:32.560 --> 00:46:37.440
even had like an official company name and all that kind of stuff and if you

00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:42.240
really don't want to like manage invoices manage expenses make sure

00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:45.280
people are paying you if you have uh like if you're not doing like

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:49.440
cash deal under the table every single time if you want to be a little bit more legit you want to allow people to take

00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:52.079
time to pay for stuff you can do that with freshbooks which is

00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:57.760
great you can create invoices super fast you can check if people have seen them you

00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:02.000
can manage all your expenses which for me is a big deal because i hate doing

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:05.599
little micro paperwork things it's one of my like biggest pet peeves oh yeah it

00:47:04.240 --> 00:47:12.400
just feels like a waste of time all the time and then i'll put it off for way too long so yeah it's helpful freshbooks

00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:14.400
super cool check fast right here and uh

00:47:13.520 --> 00:47:19.760
yeah put when and how do you hear about a section and use offer code when and go

00:47:17.839 --> 00:47:23.280
to freshbooks.com1 and everything will everything we're

00:47:21.200 --> 00:47:26.880
working on getting the slash naw implemented but it's not there yet so

00:47:25.200 --> 00:47:30.240
for now it's not taking some time yeah you know yeah

00:47:29.040 --> 00:47:34.160
okay alliance doesn't comment i was gonna say i don't intend to make it yeah

00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.920
he's not coming let's do it so we'll put him in the thumbnail though still

00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:41.839
you know get more views that way i wanted to do when we both did we both

00:47:40.240 --> 00:47:45.920
did this like weird ARM thing at one point in time and i was going to use that oh when we were talking about boss

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:50.000
dynamics maybe that was it yeah i don't remember um i just remember being like i have to

00:47:48.560 --> 00:47:53.119
mentally log that i was like somewhere around three quarters through the show

00:47:51.680 --> 00:47:57.599
uh where is it so nintendo shares new

00:47:55.359 --> 00:48:01.599
details about its nintendo switch online service which is going to launch this

00:47:59.040 --> 00:48:05.040
september so cool it's kind of good it's kind of

00:48:04.240 --> 00:48:09.440
bad um the the reason why i'm going to say it's

00:48:08.319 --> 00:48:17.520
kind of bad is because as you may or may not know

00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:19.119
the online right now is at no cost

00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:24.880
and this will make it so the online is at a cost and what might that cost be we

00:48:22.240 --> 00:48:29.520
have it written down here we do uh a year for 25 bucks

00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:33.280
24.99 so just just about two bucks a month

00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:41.760
for an individual okay that's canadian pricing uh yes u.s pricing is 20 bucks

00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:45.599
so u.s pricing for one year is 20 bucks u.s pricing for three months is eight

00:48:43.359 --> 00:48:52.240
bucks and us pricing for one month is four bucks but canadian it is 25 10 and

00:48:49.359 --> 00:48:56.319
5 respectively there's also family membership pricing so that covers eight

00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:01.839
people and they can even be on different nintendo systems and that in canadian is

00:48:59.040 --> 00:49:06.240
45 bucks a year and in america so if there's a way to use

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:09.520
that with just you and seven friends that you're not actually related to you

00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:14.240
might be able to that'll be sweet it'd be really cheap people do that all the time with spotify and

00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:22.000
and snazz right yes all that kind of stuff i am totally not on Linus's family plan

00:49:19.359 --> 00:49:26.079
for something similar to that um

00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:30.720
what can it do well it gives you a few things uh it includes some nest games

00:49:28.640 --> 00:49:33.920
like ice climber legend of zelda balloon fight soccer tennis mario i love when

00:49:32.640 --> 00:49:38.400
games used to be able to be just called soccer or tennis yes

00:49:36.160 --> 00:49:42.960
mario bros super mario bros dr mario super mario bros 3

00:49:40.319 --> 00:49:46.160
and donkey kong and 10 more will also launch with the service will be allowed

00:49:44.640 --> 00:49:49.760
announced at a later date so that is completely novel that's totally new for

00:49:48.319 --> 00:49:55.200
those games there's never been before i've been online play with those games is that correct

00:49:52.800 --> 00:50:00.960
that's what i understood uh

00:49:57.200 --> 00:50:02.160
any that well uh okay so with emulators

00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:07.280
you could well yeah well you could co-op what can you

00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:10.319
do with an m yeah but so any that originally supported multiplayer will

00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.680
still support multiplayer and will support online multiplayer which is cool

00:50:12.319 --> 00:50:18.079
because it'll be like a really easy way to do so doing online co-op with

00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:23.280
emulators has always been a little jank but doable um

00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:26.160
i don't think it's very known if you cancel your subscription if you'll still

00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:30.720
have access to those games but i doubt it uh back to the multiplayer thing that's

00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:36.400
definitely new it's what i've got written here is depending on the game players can engage in online competitive

00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:40.319
co-op or multiplayer or this is probably new for all of them take turns

00:50:38.160 --> 00:50:44.559
controlling the action yes so this was uh this was something

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:47.680
that i i noticed as well which is really cool where i think they call it like

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:51.599
past the controller yeah it says friends can even watch each

00:50:49.359 --> 00:50:56.559
other play single player games and pass the controller at any time so you can

00:50:53.920 --> 00:51:00.800
watch your friend play a game through the switch that's that's a cool

00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:04.880
idea because i think with twitch we've we've like sort of lost something

00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:08.720
which is like i was playing a game with a friend the other day and we both

00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:13.760
stream on twitch but we didn't want to stream at that point in time and i commented where like

00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:18.319
i i wish i could see your screen right now because like i was i was dead in a match

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:22.720
and there's no spectate yeah yeah so i was like i wish you were like streaming

00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:26.400
but i guess just to me what if and that's like not super a thing do you

00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:30.319
think when once you pass the controller you still have control of where the

00:51:28.319 --> 00:51:33.359
controller goes or do you think if i pass your stuff i pass it to you yeah i

00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:38.079
want to be able to yank it because imagine how fun that would be if you're watching ninja or you're watching your

00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:43.200
favorite streamer and they're like hey i'm going to the bathroom and then they just pass their controller to some

00:51:40.640 --> 00:51:46.720
random person in the stream and buddy's just like oh

00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:49.680
no two million people get to watch them play fortnite

00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:55.040
fortnite but a switch game yeah yeah that would be pretty sweet that'd be really sick actually i don't think it'll

00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:58.720
work in that way uh but if i remember correctly mixer does that microsoft

00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:04.000
streaming service you can do stuff like that but i could be super

00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:06.960
extremely off base there i i've i know there's some form of thing that can work

00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:10.079
that way but it might have been a specific game that someone happened to

00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:13.839
be playing on mixer it could be completely unrelated i don't know uh but

00:52:12.240 --> 00:52:17.520
i think that idea is super cool i like the idea of sharing the controller too

00:52:15.359 --> 00:52:20.640
so like if you're like uh dude look i'm so stuck on this freaking boss oh yeah

00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:23.440
and then you like play the boss for a while and he's like yo give me a shot

00:52:22.240 --> 00:52:28.800
you just like pass the controller over and he gets what about a new form of smurfing

00:52:26.240 --> 00:52:33.359
you're like yeah man 1v1 me and then there's like someone spectating you're

00:52:30.839 --> 00:52:37.040
like send it across there it is are we live there's the

00:52:35.040 --> 00:52:41.599
thumbnail uh that's the end of the show we're

00:52:39.040 --> 00:52:44.079
gonna stop now you're behind the mic oh

00:52:42.640 --> 00:52:48.880
it's technically not if you don't want it to be we went live a little late

00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:53.280
oh okay can i come in and do a topic yeah sure all right i'll go home

00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:58.559
you can't take these though thank you for keeping my seat warm

00:52:55.599 --> 00:53:02.480
oh it's more oh that is a warm season you could say it's a warm ass seat oh my

00:53:01.359 --> 00:53:06.880
because it's an assy so do i get one of these shirts

00:53:05.200 --> 00:53:13.440
yeah you can have one if you want nice i'm actually pretty excited i designed it myself yeah i saw that

00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:17.520
the writing is like precisely messy it's like perfectly messy thank you i like it

00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:20.720
thank you i like the show too i wanted to say when i first saw this in person

00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:24.800
riley even asked me about it he's like so what do you think of the set i was like ah

00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:28.319
but it looks really good on camera cool good did oh did riley jump on the show

00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:31.599
at all at one point oh oh i kind of thought he was gonna to uh to come in

00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:35.599
and sort of talk about working here and stuff he may have been he can take me

00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:41.119
out if he wants uh that he can't because he carpools with james okay

00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:46.079
oh okay james is his ride well then okay bye james and riley but

00:53:44.240 --> 00:53:50.400
uh do we have do we have any cool topics to talk about uh we tried to leave some

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:55.440
for you and then you didn't show up i was i was busy i was busy running a

00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:58.800
laptop at five gigahertz oh

00:53:56.960 --> 00:54:05.200
okay is it ridiculous or is it reasonable oh it's not reasonable okay

00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:11.839
do you want any spoilers is it the too big

00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:11.839
uh it is it involves server fans

00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:20.319
oh no i will okay you got to do a follow-up video where you go and use it in public

00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:26.319
and just see how people react it involves an external variable voltage

00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:31.280
power supply that's about this big totally you should still do it it's

00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:34.079
louder than a hair dryer totally i would like

00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:38.480
i would love to i would i would watch that video oh man you gotta name it

00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:44.079
uh and then like bring the it back by like using the

00:54:40.640 --> 00:54:45.680
blood in public it's terrible um anyways

00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:49.119
we haven't talked about have we talked about renting out your graphics card for

00:54:47.200 --> 00:54:52.640
mining we left that let's do that okay so the original article here is from

00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:57.520
tech radar and it was posted by apparently no one on the forum james

00:54:54.400 --> 00:55:00.400
was apparently on it morgan mlg man uh a

00:54:57.520 --> 00:55:05.359
german company has announced games from space which borrows your GPU for

00:55:03.040 --> 00:55:10.720
cryptocurrency mining purposes and then gives you free pc games in return

00:55:09.040 --> 00:55:16.240
so you pick any game you want watch a progress bar slowly tick up as your GPU

00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.680
is used for the company's mining efforts

00:55:16.240 --> 00:55:20.559
the faster your graphics card the quicker the process towards getting a

00:55:19.359 --> 00:55:25.520
new game so um here's a really important thing to

00:55:23.200 --> 00:55:28.960
point out games that you pay for on your

00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:31.680
electricity bill are not free

00:55:30.720 --> 00:55:37.520
yeah but i think a lot of kids are gonna think they are

00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:41.839
this is totally gonna be kids using their computers to screw over their

00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:43.119
parents yeah or people in dorms or

00:55:41.839 --> 00:55:48.559
whatever else so it's i will give games from space

00:55:46.319 --> 00:55:54.000
credit for being devious enough to figure out one of the

00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:58.799
biggest challenges of cryptocurrency mining and that is power

00:55:56.319 --> 00:56:03.520
and actually cooling as well so by distributing the computing around the

00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:08.880
globe it's effectively kind of not their problem and everyone who's running on

00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:13.280
their network of computers is going to be contributing such a small amount to

00:56:10.799 --> 00:56:17.200
it that it's it's not really going to be like it's not going to be noticeable

00:56:16.160 --> 00:56:22.480
um yeah some of the games are actually newer big name affairs like pub g or

00:56:20.720 --> 00:56:28.000
grand theft auto 5. so with a gtx 1070 either of those would

00:56:25.200 --> 00:56:31.440
take you about a month of mining you can get dirt three in a day

00:56:29.359 --> 00:56:36.720
apparently now obviously you won't be able to mine

00:56:34.240 --> 00:56:40.810
while you are actually playing games and from my experience with software like um

00:56:39.839 --> 00:56:43.119
uh nicehash

00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:48.799
it might not necessarily cooperate that well

00:56:46.720 --> 00:56:53.280
when you launch applications that want the GPU back like i've that was actually

00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:57.359
why i stopped running folding on my gaming system

00:56:54.640 --> 00:57:01.520
because i was running into weird issues even if folding at home was

00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:05.680
technically giving the GPU back yeah yeah i was still not not running

00:57:03.520 --> 00:57:08.960
correctly so i would i would watch out for had the same problems at our house i

00:57:07.520 --> 00:57:16.079
would watch out for pretty much everything about this

00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:17.839
what else we got yeah um so there's

00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:24.000
there was a few topics where are we the the that

00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:25.760
qualcomm is finally making a smartwatch

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:31.119
chip so this was originally posted by edward the weeb on the forum hey

00:57:29.040 --> 00:57:34.559
james didn't tell you you're not getting a ride and that you can't come and say

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:38.000
hi uh okay well let's just burn through

00:57:36.640 --> 00:57:42.240
this really quickly and then you guys can ask riley some questions in twitch chat

00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:46.880
does that sound pretty good yeah okay so qualcomm is making a smartwatch chip ai

00:57:45.040 --> 00:57:50.079
wear os watches that come out today have little option but to use qualcomm

00:57:48.240 --> 00:57:54.480
snapdragon where 2100 from february 2016. some have argued this is holding

00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:58.400
the entire where os platform back it is pretty slow qualcomm has announced a

00:57:56.720 --> 00:58:01.520
watch focused silicon this fall alongside a flagship device with several

00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:04.880
partners set to release wear os watches based on the new chips by the holidays

00:58:03.200 --> 00:58:10.000
the three generation processors will be designed from the ground up for a no

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:11.520
compromises smart watch experience

00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:14.400
uh so better battery life smaller watches apparently designing the chips

00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:19.280
work more effectively with always on displays and a smart watch is first and foremost a watch it needs to look good

00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:23.119
it needs to be sleek it needs to look good when i'm looking at it these are all just

00:58:21.520 --> 00:58:26.640
looking good this is a quote nothing to do why would you say that yeah that's

00:58:24.799 --> 00:58:29.680
nothing to do with the chip all right thank you very much oh also rumor google

00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:34.400
preparing pixel smartwatch probably related to that last one

00:58:31.520 --> 00:58:38.960
really fast Linus you are okay i'm sorry are you are you okay

00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:43.200
nine inch nails to fight ticket bots by not selling tickets online

00:58:41.680 --> 00:58:46.240
yeah we we already covered them oh all right i covered that one because uh

00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:49.440
james thought you wouldn't want to talk about it so this guy works here now i

00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:53.920
didn't want to i didn't want to make you stop doing the actual news part well no

00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:57.280
that's okay we have a new news show because it's true no but a lot of people

00:58:56.000 --> 00:59:03.040
are concerned they're like don't stop doing the WAN Show it's not going to stop someone just complaining about

00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:05.839
central park but he he misspelled the misspelling

00:59:06.240 --> 00:59:09.599
he did central prac

00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:16.400
it's a it's a meme for the people you can you can make it your own

00:59:14.640 --> 00:59:20.990
i want to put an r in there at the beginning that's fine

00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:23.119
central repack

00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:29.200
it's riley yeah um this is a i'm i'm having a hard

00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:34.640
time with this mic in the middle yeah you know what why don't you no no no no no no no please no i'm gonna sit i'm

00:59:32.799 --> 00:59:39.920
gonna sit there i'll sit here yeah i'll say i'll take

00:59:36.319 --> 00:59:42.400
i'll take a back seat i'm just a boy

00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:46.319
this is a small town boy the last time i was on this show i was a guest someone

00:59:44.720 --> 00:59:51.839
says are you only hosting shows are you doing other things at LMG as well

00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:51.839
well i'm writing

00:59:52.160 --> 00:59:56.799
what's this what are you looking at uh the audience oh the set they're on the

00:59:55.200 --> 01:00:00.160
camera over there you gestured over here yeah oh i thought

00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:06.079
you were just doing that later yeah i mean i built yeah i guess well i didn't build the set i mean i sort of did a

01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:08.799
bunch of people built it i've been working on this set for the past like

01:00:07.680 --> 01:00:13.520
months i've been trying to give you some credit man can i say that yeah i've been here

01:00:12.319 --> 01:00:17.920
for like a month and i've just been building the set and uh doing a bunch of

01:00:16.160 --> 01:00:22.480
stuff with Yvonne and and uh edsel

01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:25.280
yeah it was it was hard work guys but i'm here

01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:32.640
uh everett asks were you okay when ncix went bankrupt was i okay

01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:37.440
yeah actually weren't you gone already yeah i was down

01:00:35.520 --> 01:00:41.920
by the time they had gone bankrupt i had left and started with uh secret

01:00:40.160 --> 01:00:46.240
informant sorry no no that's fine i don't care you can talk about secret performance yeah um so i went to do that

01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:50.160
and then i was doing that for a while and then um

01:00:48.240 --> 01:00:54.880
we started talking yes we did someone said his language was

01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:59.440
born he's asking someone's asking of lions he's asking you specifically if

01:00:56.799 --> 01:01:03.839
Linus is terrible boss why well you know i've only been here for a man i

01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:03.839
can't tell yet

01:01:05.200 --> 01:01:13.359
if i no matter how i answer that question i feel like it's going to seem insincere lions is a great boss

01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:16.720
no lions is a terrible boss yeah they both sound like lies

01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:25.280
is the show still a work in progress kinda seems cobbled together

01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:28.880
it's it's it's definitely a work in progress still we're still like uh

01:01:27.040 --> 01:01:32.319
tweaking stuff you said that on social media the other day so like if you guys

01:01:30.720 --> 01:01:37.119
have suggestions um for how to change it definitely let

01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:41.200
us know we will read them and we will take them into account

01:01:39.040 --> 01:01:46.079
yeah it has its own twitter handle um what is it at techlinked yt

01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:49.440
or uh i think it's that technical i think it's that time i just the ed technique

01:01:48.319 --> 01:01:53.200
mazzio says please sell a t-shirt with that exact design

01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:57.839
yeah we're doing it i think that's the plan right it's actually an already right now

01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:02.240
yeah yeah yeah it was up really fast yeah you got to go to the LTT merch

01:01:59.920 --> 01:02:05.200
store because TechLinked is still two-bit mode to have its own merch store

01:02:04.240 --> 01:02:09.119
so it's no longer like uh Linus and i make

01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:13.760
a meme on when and then four months later uh we have a shirt yeah like fast

01:02:11.520 --> 01:02:18.240
now memes turn into t-shirts immediately yeah yeah we actually have a dedicated

01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:21.520
graphic designer so uh there's there's been honestly there's been so many

01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:25.119
moving parts getting this show started getting him in here getting all the

01:02:23.359 --> 01:02:28.559
design work done getting the set built all the negotiations i really wish i

01:02:26.799 --> 01:02:33.040
could tell you know most of the story behind the the uh ncix tech tips

01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:38.799
acquisition effort right yes okay that is strongly under the nda

01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:44.160
just so you know but it's too long of a story to tell anyways 10 out of 10 how

01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:48.960
or like out of 10 how crazy is it i mean

01:02:45.839 --> 01:02:51.359
it's insane i had no

01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:54.480
when we were when we filmed the uh when we filmed the announcement video

01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:59.520
when we filmed the announcement video yeah i wrote the skit and then i wrote

01:02:57.200 --> 01:03:03.440
the out the the end part and i'm like okay Linus fill in the ncix story and i

01:03:02.160 --> 01:03:08.720
thought it was gonna be like a couple paragraphs or something it's like an essay it was like four

01:03:06.799 --> 01:03:12.000
pages long or something i was like what you can't do and then

01:03:10.240 --> 01:03:16.319
he's like no we're doing the whole thing stinky pete said great to see you are

01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:20.319
you continuing the ncx persona i.e quick bits or are you trying to differentiate

01:03:17.680 --> 01:03:25.599
the show from the past i mean central park survived

01:03:22.720 --> 01:03:28.880
so did quick bits well i didn't know what else to call it

01:03:27.359 --> 01:03:34.000
what should i call quick bits if not quick bits

01:03:30.640 --> 01:03:34.000
rapid small portions

01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:40.400
rapid fire small porsche news stories bits

01:03:38.160 --> 01:03:44.160
no i don't know if you guys i mean we uh there are some other names

01:03:42.240 --> 01:03:48.079
already but it's supposed to be a spiritual successor so like

01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:53.520
we had i saw some people leaving comments like wow you guys really

01:03:50.799 --> 01:03:57.520
captured the essence of netland and i'm kind of sitting there going well oh crap

01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:03.359
we've got the same host and writing staff we've got the same

01:03:59.520 --> 01:04:04.319
um other host and sort of troll

01:04:03.359 --> 01:04:09.440
and you know really captured the essence how did you do that how did you make sure it

01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:14.240
was so true to the original of all the original people basically the

01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:19.920
original yeah yeah i don't know

01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:19.920
uh what does central park mean

01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:27.440
you don't want it damn questions

01:04:24.319 --> 01:04:28.960
i do want to answer it i just feel like

01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:33.200
it's just kind of a long story so it's kind of a lengthy it's an inside joke

01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:36.799
originally on flight of the concords that me and my friend uh said all the

01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:40.880
time and then i started saying it on netling daily and

01:04:38.839 --> 01:04:44.640
uh comment every video from there on yeah it's not actually a very long story

01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:48.880
i know i did well i was just like can i do it can i i guess i did apparently uh

01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:53.200
quick bits through and through someone said you will do uh you said you will do

01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:57.760
not only tech but until now it's only been tech what's going on

01:04:55.359 --> 01:05:00.640
i will not do only tech where because it said stem news i remember

01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:07.200
that from the video oh yeah so that's more of a bet hedging

01:05:04.720 --> 01:05:11.039
yeah strategy you know like if if there if some kind of like biomedical thing

01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:14.319
comes out we don't want to end up in a stupid

01:05:12.799 --> 01:05:17.680
argument with people in the comments that that's not tech

01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:21.920
because when you come when it comes down to it everything is tech the wheel is

01:05:19.680 --> 01:05:21.920
tech

01:05:29.520 --> 01:05:34.960
so that was actually a change that i made to the script where i kind of went

01:05:33.359 --> 01:05:40.640
look let's not paint ourselves into a box it's about stem that way it can be about

01:05:38.720 --> 01:05:43.839
basically anything anything if someone finds a new prime number we can talk

01:05:42.240 --> 01:05:47.680
about it games doesn't really fit in there though oh

01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:52.720
what if we say it's stems stem and gaming stigma this news stems

01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:52.720
from

01:05:53.440 --> 01:06:00.830
geez

01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:07.440
moving on immediately what do you hope to learn or improve

01:06:05.200 --> 01:06:11.359
working with Linus speaking of uh yeah uh well

01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:14.799
i've already learned to kind of like fly by the seat of my pants

01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:19.039
as in like do it now do something get it done

01:06:17.440 --> 01:06:23.599
you know yeah you came in on your first day didn't have an email address

01:06:21.200 --> 01:06:26.960
didn't have like uh any passwords for anything didn't actually have an

01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:31.359
assignment because basically we had put we put the whole thing off for so long

01:06:29.680 --> 01:06:34.799
like we were riley's start date was supposed to be like many weeks ago i

01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:39.760
think i think i was looking at the emails and they started like

01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:43.200
february or march yeah yeah and so what happened was we kept thinking we were

01:06:42.160 --> 01:06:47.520
gonna get the channel and then we were like okay here's your

01:06:45.680 --> 01:06:50.559
start date and then we were like oh we weren't going to get it but we were just

01:06:48.799 --> 01:06:53.760
going to start our own channel and you were like just stay tuned i've

01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:56.960
got i'll get you an update and i'm just like okay cool and you're like okay yeah

01:06:55.520 --> 01:07:00.400
now this happened i'm just like okay yeah you're right um

01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:03.920
the amount of people that got uh chat banned immediately after you

01:07:02.160 --> 01:07:08.799
made that joke was insane there's like a whole block oh no it's above this but

01:07:06.640 --> 01:07:11.839
just like oh yeah um uh

01:07:09.680 --> 01:07:15.280
uh um uh uh anyway

01:07:12.720 --> 01:07:19.440
so uh so there was a whole thing where we were just like okay screw it

01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:24.640
we've got some pre-show preparation to do like a set and you know figuring out

01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:29.359
branding and all this stuff uh riley can help with that let's just get him in

01:07:26.319 --> 01:07:31.039
here and and honestly it was a it was a

01:07:29.359 --> 01:07:36.720
good move it was actually nick's idea because it really put the pressure on me

01:07:33.200 --> 01:07:39.359
to start making videos with this person

01:07:36.720 --> 01:07:44.240
that i'm paying at the time we hired a writer and host to build a

01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:47.920
set maybe not not the best decision

01:07:46.160 --> 01:07:52.319
i did learn a lot of my management strategies from ncix

01:07:52.319 --> 01:08:00.160
so i came in here and it was like coming home um people are asking will you do

01:07:58.000 --> 01:08:04.880
lan show too well well i do want show too i mean uh i

01:08:03.039 --> 01:08:09.280
guess i mean that's up to you guys i don't know we actually haven't really

01:08:06.319 --> 01:08:12.880
decided um how we're gonna best utilize riley i think i'm screwing it up right

01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:16.480
now so if you're taking that as an example yeah i mean

01:08:14.799 --> 01:08:20.880
we we brought him in as someone who's multi-talented like someone something

01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:24.400
that some people wouldn't know is he was basically running the entire ncix

01:08:23.199 --> 01:08:29.839
channel by himself by the end of it and like

01:08:27.120 --> 01:08:32.239
arguably it wasn't its finest you know moment

01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:36.319
but rude he was literally by himself writing

01:08:35.120 --> 01:08:41.679
filming editing posting

01:08:38.480 --> 01:08:44.400
actually actually posting it to youtube

01:08:41.679 --> 01:08:47.759
answering comments about uh yo guys what's going on with my order what is

01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:53.359
that whole place imploding what's going on um in the comments like

01:08:51.040 --> 01:08:57.600
so so we brought riley in knowing that we wanted to bring back

01:08:55.120 --> 01:09:01.440
a spiritual successor to netlink knowing that the best way to do that

01:08:59.679 --> 01:09:07.520
would be to like bring back the the sort of tag team

01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:09.679
that i think um nothing against anyone

01:09:07.520 --> 01:09:14.159
else who ever worked on netlink but the tag team that i think

01:09:11.440 --> 01:09:19.440
refined the netlinked format made it what it was and was kind of the golden

01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:23.600
age of netlink in terms of audience reception in terms of viewership yeah um

01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:28.400
well originally because net linked was net linked weekly that you did on the

01:09:26.080 --> 01:09:32.319
ncx channel but it was like a longer show and it wasn't really

01:09:30.560 --> 01:09:37.040
i guess you guys edited it a bit but like it was that was before i came lunch

01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:40.000
yeah and then when we came on we wanted or like okay we're gonna make it a daily

01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:44.080
show and then like and then you guys took it totally cereal and then i came

01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:50.159
in when i was like a contractor and i didn't really care anymore

01:09:46.400 --> 01:09:52.480
that was that whole casual feel of net

01:09:50.159 --> 01:09:57.520
linked was not manufactured it was because i actually didn't give any cares

01:09:55.520 --> 01:10:00.880
i would roll in on a friday that's that's definitely the feeling i get like

01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:05.360
30. we would bang out all the videos that

01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:11.360
had to be done for that week yeah like four at one time and then i'd be like yeah it's two o'clock boom see ya you're

01:10:09.360 --> 01:10:16.480
out of there um and i'd come back here and host WAN Show often late yeah um

01:10:14.480 --> 01:10:20.560
yeah and then we're we're kind of like hey Linus uh so we wrote this funny bit

01:10:18.719 --> 01:10:25.679
uh could you put the head on and like do the voice for the thing and he's like no

01:10:22.080 --> 01:10:25.679
i'm doing this boom okay guys

01:10:26.480 --> 01:10:33.440
and i'd like get stuck but that's not that's okay i'd get stuff wrong right

01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:38.800
like i'd read the script wrong but i would just like keep going through it because i was in a hurry yeah um and

01:10:37.040 --> 01:10:43.199
that was where that kind of stuff and people liked it mm-hmm so

01:10:41.199 --> 01:10:47.040
so we ended up yelling at people from off screen and stuff yeah that was all

01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:51.360
that was actually the only feedback that i gave them on their writing

01:10:49.440 --> 01:10:54.780
was during the show during the show telling them stuff that was a stupid bit

01:10:53.199 --> 01:10:57.199
don't do it okay what's the next one

01:10:57.199 --> 01:11:02.320
so so so the goal was to to to that

01:11:01.040 --> 01:11:07.840
seemed like the best way to i don't forget where i was going with this but it seemed like the best way to

01:11:05.440 --> 01:11:11.520
to to make this happen was to bring back sort of what i see as sort of the heart

01:11:09.440 --> 01:11:14.640
and soul of it and then just inject it into something new and i forget what the

01:11:13.120 --> 01:11:19.040
point of getting there was i'm gonna take a few different questions and lump them into one yeah how do you guys

01:11:17.360 --> 01:11:21.679
expect the channel to perform some people are asking comparatively to

01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:26.080
techwiki but i don't really think that's super relevant um

01:11:24.400 --> 01:11:29.840
but like the like how do you expect the growth of the channel to go

01:11:28.320 --> 01:11:34.159
i feel like i'm a bad person to answer that question you guys know so much

01:11:31.360 --> 01:11:40.719
about okay i think this is general to so my expectation for the channel was um or

01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:45.040
not my expectation my goal was as sort of a a salty

01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:48.080
well sort of um

01:11:47.120 --> 01:11:52.960
thing my goal was for techlink to basically

01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:58.400
immediately have as good or better viewership than

01:11:56.239 --> 01:12:03.040
the latter episodes of TechLinked on the nci xcom channel

01:12:00.719 --> 01:12:06.840
anything beyond that i consider to be a smashing success and as for the sales

01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:12.159
team anything above a hundred thousand views

01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:15.280
a video should be quite easy for them to bring in sponsors for

01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:21.040
if they can bring in sponsors on a consistent basis we will we will

01:12:17.280 --> 01:12:23.760
comfortably cover um riley's

01:12:21.040 --> 01:12:28.239
uh ex bradley's cost and the extra editing horses that we need and my lunch

01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:32.640
um um we don't do free lunch here but good

01:12:30.320 --> 01:12:36.320
try so as long as we can bring sponsors and

01:12:34.480 --> 01:12:40.239
we will comfortably cover our overhead is basically where i was going with that

01:12:38.159 --> 01:12:43.520
even even like the square footage the equipment like all those things that you

01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:48.159
have to factor into the cost of the show and i mean if if your standard was that

01:12:45.679 --> 01:12:52.320
they outperform like the later episodes of netlinked it's already done that so

01:12:51.360 --> 01:12:57.280
yeah i think there's a bit of a honeymoon period going on right now though well but it could continue

01:12:55.679 --> 01:13:00.800
forever perfectly it could continue forever perfectly i

01:12:59.280 --> 01:13:04.880
mean honestly i think we're going to get there i think i think that

01:13:03.360 --> 01:13:07.840
not i think we've actually gotten a lot of feedback already from community

01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:11.120
members saying there really was a gap there

01:13:10.080 --> 01:13:16.640
net linked had a purpose this this source fed style

01:13:15.040 --> 01:13:21.040
technologies thing and i was kind of surprised when we stopped and people

01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:25.360
were like there's no other like really quick like

01:13:23.280 --> 01:13:28.080
tech news shows about like you know centering on like pc stuff and there

01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:33.120
isn't and a lot of people are trying to hit the 10 minute minimum and all this kind of stuff yeah but we're not

01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:36.640
interested in that we've never cared about the 10 minute minimum a lot of

01:13:34.800 --> 01:13:41.440
people we've released videos that are 10 minutes and one second or whatever and a

01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:44.800
lot of people are like aha in the comments gotcha and i'm kind of

01:13:43.360 --> 01:13:48.880
sitting there going are you you don't understand how this works the 10 minute

01:13:47.040 --> 01:13:53.679
mark is only important if you run a mid-roll adsense spot

01:13:51.360 --> 01:13:57.760
and we don't and we don't so it doesn't matter oh your ride is

01:13:54.960 --> 01:14:02.320
leaving okay leave you can go um thank you for joining us thanks for having me

01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:06.719
yeah this is cool it's been fun um right i remember where i was going

01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:10.800
with that he's very multi-talented so we brought him in knowing that he was

01:14:08.080 --> 01:14:14.640
multi-talented thinking that we would just find

01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:18.480
uh we'd find like a natural on camera i know everything that you need to do on

01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:20.719
like a set thank you thank you

01:14:19.920 --> 01:14:25.440
um so right now his time is not completely

01:14:23.360 --> 01:14:29.440
occupied just by writing TechLinked and hosting it and

01:14:27.280 --> 01:14:33.120
in some cases he won't even be hosting it it's only a three times a week show

01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:36.560
and i'll probably be hosting somewhere between a third and half of them riley

01:14:35.040 --> 01:14:40.560
will be doing between a third and half of them and we might have other people

01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:45.040
jump in james has expressed interest Colton has expressed interest and we'd

01:14:42.719 --> 01:14:49.360
like to have it actually be quite quite diverse um maybe even luke would come

01:14:47.679 --> 01:14:53.520
back and host that would be cool i'd like to especially on certain topics so

01:14:52.080 --> 01:14:57.440
so yeah so so i have two things in the chat that

01:14:55.920 --> 01:15:03.600
i'm going to pull from archival stuff one someone was like oh my god luke is

01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:03.600
back that's confusing um

01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:09.679
i've been here the whole time pretty much uh the other one was is

01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:13.520
riley luke's replacement that's been asked a whole bunch of times um so

01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:20.640
right now in terms of actual hosting on LTT

01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:25.600
i'm on the fence you will see luke host another LTT before you will see riley in

01:15:23.040 --> 01:15:28.239
fact how's that going good uh it keeps changing

01:15:27.360 --> 01:15:33.920
right i can probably just talk about it yeah sure yeah so i'm doing nintendo labo um

01:15:33.040 --> 01:15:39.360
but i've changed how i wanted to review it a couple times i don't think i haven't

01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:45.840
seen a single review of it online that i think this is gonna throw some shade has

01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:46.880
done a very good job because i agree um

01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:51.199
and because of that i'm now like okay that's

01:15:49.120 --> 01:15:54.719
a lot of pressure because i'm thinking no one's done a very good job of

01:15:52.719 --> 01:15:57.679
covering it so now i need to not screw up you've been in that position before

01:15:56.320 --> 01:16:03.280
and i think yeah i'm trying to think of an example um we were really late on was

01:16:01.280 --> 01:16:07.440
it the rift we were really late on something that

01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:10.560
you like cared about a lot might have been vibes i think it was one

01:16:08.719 --> 01:16:16.000
of those it was it was a vr headset i think yeah and basically i think we

01:16:13.120 --> 01:16:20.560
talked about it and we were like okay well then in that case yeah i think okay

01:16:18.719 --> 01:16:23.600
i'm remembering this even better now uh i remember talking about it and you were

01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:29.520
like this is going to take a long time and so i took on sort of some more quick yeah

01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:33.120
quick videos to fill in the gaps because i think you spent like almost an entire

01:16:31.040 --> 01:16:36.800
week on it yeah so it's been a little bit hard because this week we've been

01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:40.320
we've been pushing for v1 which won't mean anything to you guys also i'm

01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:43.199
hiring yeah also i'm hiring for Floatplane so

01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:48.480
i've been going through resumes and stuff also i've been trying to do this lab oh thing and i was like i'll be done

01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:51.360
early in the week and then i was like done most my notes and i was like it's

01:16:50.239 --> 01:16:55.040
been out for a while let me watch some reviews and see what's going on and i was like oh

01:16:55.120 --> 01:17:02.159
okay all right this changes things because when like

01:16:59.440 --> 01:17:05.760
when everyone else's stuff is like again i'm pretty certain

01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:10.960
really surface level and really missing the point in my opinion for most people

01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:14.960
um it's it's yeah i have to take it to the

01:17:13.120 --> 01:17:19.199
next level i think so yeah i should be ready relatively soon i'm expecting next

01:17:17.280 --> 01:17:23.440
week so i'm traveling for like the next two and a half weeks

01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:27.600
or something like that uh oh have we told people that scrapyard wars season

01:17:25.679 --> 01:17:31.920
seven is coming no i don't think so we are shooting we

01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:35.440
actually have a shoot date yeah we have a sponsor locked in finally we've got a

01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:39.600
shoot date um it's going to should we should we tell

01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:43.840
them the the the the challenge i mean i don't know it it's off the top

01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:46.560
of my head i've been actually been emailed it i just don't remember sure

01:17:45.280 --> 01:17:53.440
okay yeah yeah so it's gonna be a classic head to head

01:17:48.719 --> 01:17:57.040
me versus luke no teams no gimmicks

01:17:53.440 --> 01:17:59.760
except for one gimmick

01:17:57.040 --> 01:18:04.159
neither of us gets an internet capable device oh

01:18:01.440 --> 01:18:09.920
oh i remember that oh i remember that oh that's so sketch

01:18:07.440 --> 01:18:14.880
okay okay okay previous seasons we've been heavily relying on craigslist

01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:19.440
hardcore or like buy and sell trade apps

01:18:17.120 --> 01:18:23.679
is it still possible to build a decent gaming rig what other

01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:27.199
rules are we including i don't know we're gonna have to kind of

01:18:25.600 --> 01:18:32.239
we'll have to hash that out between the two of us a little bit because i'm assuming like uh the one the like ace in

01:18:31.040 --> 01:18:36.480
the hole is not allowed i don't remember the name yeah you can't go to free geek yeah

01:18:34.400 --> 01:18:41.600
yeah no no no or like and we're also getting rid of free geek

01:18:38.480 --> 01:18:44.880
similar situations um i think if you and

01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:45.760
i both do no research which is what i've

01:18:44.880 --> 01:18:50.560
done um and we don't look them up online i

01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:55.360
don't know any i don't know any either so we i think they're fair game at that

01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:58.560
point like go to the library and get a phone book

01:18:56.480 --> 01:19:01.600
i wouldn't give me any ideas if i were you

01:18:59.679 --> 01:19:06.960
all right so we're gonna keep to ourselves

01:19:03.120 --> 01:19:09.280
what our ideas might be for

01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:12.239
that's pretty crazy it's gonna be really hard okay yeah that's gonna be

01:19:10.560 --> 01:19:15.360
interesting luckily the the one thing i was actually really worried about for

01:19:13.679 --> 01:19:20.159
this coming scrapbook wars was GPU prices it looks like that's all resolved it's

01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:23.920
coming back down so i think we dodged that bullet because that was like

01:19:21.679 --> 01:19:27.760
actually going to make it impossible or stupid they were going to be the

01:19:25.040 --> 01:19:31.120
crappiest scrapyard warriors pcs yet yeah

01:19:28.719 --> 01:19:37.199
we would have had to do or do like the like student computer

01:19:34.080 --> 01:19:38.719
CPU benchmarks only neenan 262 in the

01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:44.000
chat sorry just uh blowing the dust off my

01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:46.719
local computer store yeah exactly

01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:49.920
man this is going to be pretty dumb um oh

01:19:48.080 --> 01:19:53.760
yeah all right well i think that's pretty much it for wancho thank you guys

01:19:52.159 --> 01:19:58.159
for tuning in see you again next week same bat time same bat channel bye

01:19:56.239 --> 01:20:02.239
um oh we should we should let people weigh in on whether they want the wan

01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:06.480
show to stay here with the white uh orange and white or if we want to

01:20:04.239 --> 01:20:09.120
move over to the hex wall yeah we haven't painted the hex wall yet though

01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:13.280
i think right now there's like a lighting problem or something oh yeah it's it's garbo it needs to it just

01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:18.080
needs to be uh it needs a light on the floor to even it but even like

01:20:16.480 --> 01:20:21.520
your face and we're also going to have some shelves here yeah like there's

01:20:19.600 --> 01:20:24.880
going to be some stuff there like yeah no there's some there's some should

01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:30.480
we straw for it right now looks like people are spamming hex wall but they're also getting banned people want oh um no

01:20:28.719 --> 01:20:34.560
no we can ask them next week okay am i even here next week hex wall will be

01:20:32.320 --> 01:20:39.120
really dark yeah that's something to consider well we're gonna paint it uh

01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:42.640
red white and blue okay not like america style red white and blue like um i

01:20:41.280 --> 01:20:49.040
forget how we're planning to do it like white background and then like red and blue hexes or something okay uh but like

01:20:46.320 --> 01:20:53.120
bright ones i think what we should do is on the WAN Show have a screenshot of

01:20:51.679 --> 01:20:56.640
here and there and put like both of them on screen yeah

01:20:55.120 --> 01:21:01.840
and then be like pick one we could do that all right see you okay bye

01:21:02.320 --> 01:21:07.120
i just realized i'm sitting on the wrong side yeah
