all righty it's w show time again we
have got a great show for you guys today
and I'll tell you what if it is not a great show you have someone altogether
new to blame for it and how fun is that
oh yeah James did the W show do today my
I swear my chair's too high isn't it uh this is the wrong chair I think oh did
someone change your chair where wait did you change your
chair wow wow well I mean I guess that's a uh
I guess that's sort of a positive for verdig here I mean if they're going to
sponsor the L show and their chair is not going to be on the L show where it's
supposed to be it should be at your desk because you took it cuz you like it
right yeah yeah that is actually why I took it okay well at least we got that
going okay all right um so we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today
everything from not liking the WAN Show
and blaming at jamesg gravity if you hate it to PewDiePie being dropped by
Disney after anti-semitic stunt to
Samsung air arrested as part of South
Korea's government Scandal I mean at least they still have scandals there we
wouldn't know if we had a scandal over here we much stuff we wouldn't be able
to tell the difference there's a website I don't remember the exact URL but it's something along lines of like what the f
happened today and it's like it's literally just
a like what is going on in politics right now because it's such like a crazy
storm of things the the damage report that's what I do every morning
just like okay what now uh Ryzen specs and prices leaked
because it has been a week and that
means that there needs to be a topic about riseing specs and prices being
leaked yeah um also I won't say anything
about Ryzen specs and pricing but I will say that I'm going to be out of
office next week for 3
days I will be too yes for a different
unrelated reason but yeah you're not is it next week wait no you're the
following week yeah for a different unrelated reason yeah anyways after that
BuzzFeed and Facebook try to break readers out of their social media
bubbles that sounds extremely untrue I'm
we'll see what happens when we get there to that topic yeah okay so uh wait that
that's it now the intro right do you think it'll work yes do you think it'll
work I do do you think it'll work I have 99.8%
certainty I can't tell if it's working me neither maybe if I clench hard enough
nope I'm
dead I love the quick and the bluntness of
it
oh yep yeah oh oh
sponsor dollar shap
club.com that should be you know does it
feel like the art of Jingles has kind of been lost yes it's gone a little bit sad
it makes me sad like from when I was a kid and even like today because many of
these companies still haven't changed their Jingles but like it's that cheesy
AM radio sounding music recording what's
that what's that mattress place Sleep Country and whatever country you're in
yes yeah do they say do they say USA Country
USA yeah s Country USA yeah see it works
why buy a mattress anywhere else yeah I think it goes better with Canada but
like there's so many of them like apple autog glass just like the art of Jingles
has been lost like I can't think of a single Jingle
that stands out to me today that's new yeah that's new CU they still do like
Sleep Country and stuff but it's old school yeah but and you can tell it's
old oh yeah like it's bad it feels old
yeah but I'm I'm just trying to think if there's like anything I you know maybe
we have McDonald's to blame for this because they used to have great
Jingles did they yeah I don't think I remember McDonald's Jingles you're
pretty young okay so McDonald's yeah but okay so McDonald's
is probably their the most iconic jingle In My Memory was uh have you had your
break today okay that's like that's old
enough that you would have been like three um and then after that we didn't
watch TV much either it all went downhill so it had to be like radio the
one after that was uh my my my my
McDonald's and I was like what the crap is
this terrible that's pretty rough it's
awful and then and then they were just like no we're
like we're too trendy and cool oh wow he
brought you water thank you very much iHeart W whose cup is this is that
yours so so he technically he technically broke the rules of the
company to bring me water so can I get mad at him you have to get mad at him
and like at the exact same time I
thought you gonna go for the whole thing no I'm saving a little bit like a tiny
amount oh no I oh I I I could have chugged like two of those I've been I've
been hosting a video leading up to the show so my mouth is really dry I got you
um needs some lubrication
um maybe you could use some too yeah
probably um it's better as a team effort yeah see okay we got see I don't
remember KFC ever having fingerlicking good as a as a jingle though like that's
a slogan that's a yeah those are different that's not the same asingle
yeah it's got to be uh yeah yeah the folders one the best part waking up it's
full okay I got it slightly wrong I was I was going Sleep Country
K cuz the bestest part of waking up the
folders in your cup something along those lines I think yeah yeah yeah oh
man I'm just angry all right so do we
have any actual Tech topics today that have anything to do with any do you
sweat when you take like a big chug chug of water like immediately you're really
dehydrated yes huh well that seems counterproductive not really it needed
to do that but it was like conserving then you were like here and it was like
thank goodness I'm not hot but it still
that's not the only reason so now I'm uncomfortable and cold heat is not the
only reason why you sweat okay why else do you sweat excitement it's like I
think it's to get rid of like impurities and stuff too isn't it you sweat stuff
that isn't just water and salt out of your skin I sweat enough that I don't
think that's an issue no there's like Ura in sweat or
something stuff in sweat well yeah it's trying to get rid of it yeah it's like
nasty um I'm not I'm not a I'm not a I
don't do the bio stuff don't listen to me look it up but but sweat isn't just
for heat kill
me uh okay PewDiePie speaking of getting killed oh
got his deal with Disney killed after an
anti-semitic stunt you know what's really funny it's Maker Studios if
people didn't know that Disney owns Maker Studios I didn't know what
anti-semitic meant I thought people no this was like I was in like high school
or something like Oh you mean like way back no no I know what it means now yeah
okay I was like the I thought that people were upset about statements that
went against like the the true meaning of words I thought it was anti-semantic
and I was like what's why does that matter I mean like
I I value clear communication as much as anyone I know but still like like I I
thought it was like people being upset about like you know getting all anal
retentive about the meanings of things I was like what's wrong with that like who
cares and it's like this big anyway I I figured it out later it was in like
social studies or something I was like oh that makes sense oh because so so
when it's to do with Judaism and Jewish
people it's Semitic CU Semite got it
yeah well I figured that part out I figured the link out later but I would have thought it would be like like anti-
jetic or something like like cuz I I I didn't know the term Semite yes yeah so
anyway so the point is uh this was sort of an uncool thing that went down and
this is a stock image of PewDiePie looking really not that concerned about
it because it's a stock image um but the original article here is from
globalnews.ca of all things but basically what happened is Disney said
he crossed the line with some of his videos but he didn't okay to be fair
they didn't say that until like the Wall Street Journal made this like super out
of context slanderous video and then they were like oh no people are
reporting that's okay I'm going to jump ahead a little bit but one of my least
favorite things about this entire my God one of my least favorite things about
this entire Endeavor has been the sheer amount of people there's been a lot of
people that have stepped up to support him which in my opinion is great because
that's what should probably be happening right now but the sheer amount of people
that attacked him for it that definitely watched his videos before and were cool
with it until someone else was like that's bad and they were like oh no it
is like come on man I don't know he's
been gaining subscribers through this yeah he's been it's
unclear whether the subscriber bleeds here are are Corrections or whether
um cuz I know YouTube has done oh wait
oh no oh those are not Corrections okay so yes he has bled some subscribers uh
so out of his previously 53 million um he now has 53 and a half
million because he gains faster than he can possibly lose because he's pewdiepie
So in terms of like his business I doubt he's really gonna suffer but um well
scare PewDiePie was cancelled okay all
right so like there is Direct business things so what happened exactly uh he
has made a number of videos where there was
like what you could potentially see is anti-Semitic imagery um one of the
interesting responses that I've seen so far is when h3h3 responded mhm because
they're like friends and he is Jewish mhm so like
you'd think that wouldn't really work and Ethan was just like yeah he's
totally cool everything's totally fine so that was an interesting response so
far um all of the images
were when you take things out of a context you can make them look like pretty much whatever you want and when
you take this stuff out of complex specifically you can really make it look
really bad especially when you put it in like a video with like you fade out the
back and you put some white text on it like Wall Street Journal did and or I
think it was Wall Street Journal um hopefully that's correct and then you
make like uh this is horrible and then they show it with no context around it
all of the times that he did something like this it was to contrast something
else like one time it was to show that the YouTube like everyone's a moderator
now YouTube Insider program or whatever it was called he was comparing that to
like terrible Nazi practices okay he
wasn't saying the Nazi practices were good he wasn't condoning them he was
like this is terrible I'm going to shoot way too far and explain this thing and
he has said said himself like I'm an amateur comedian I went too far with
some of these jokes but like this is not
me you're taking the Moe of context I wasn't saying they're positive things
with the sign okay so we should explain this was the incident that kind of um
snowballed into what it's become now so
and again taken within the appropriate
context uh and I agree with his
statement that he clearly went too far
um cuz there isn't a lot of like great context in which you can take something
like this but basically PewDiePie used I think it was fiver I don't know if
you're familiar with Fiverr it's a service where you can pay $5 for people
to do something so through Fiverr he
paid two men to hold up a sign that said
death to all Jews um which is not great his point
here was that the people on this website would do nearly anything for five bucks
and he he's trying to say how that isn't like a good thing and he was able to get
these guys to hold up this sign that he does not agree with at all and it's very
bad and generally people would not do for $5 but he was showing on this
website you can get people to do this crazy stuff for $5 but this created a
lot of problems because those guys who
had who issued an apology video afterward saying we we didn't know what
the sign said like English is not a real strong point for us we we had no idea uh
those guys were getting attacked online for people thinking that they were
extremists until sort of the truth started to come out and they probably
should have checked but like I get it at the same time for five bucks uh you're
not going to be able to have your legal department check with your comm's
department and uh yeah Google Translate is a super difficult tool to use
still I don't know man um like it it was not great he could
have definitely used something else to get his point across y uh he was trying
to make it Ultra impactful he's shocking shock humor basically and he's a
YouTuber that relies on clicks like we all do so being able to use that to get
clicks would definitely super work and it definitely super worked it just
worked a little bit too much yeah I guess to the wrong people yeah so uh you
know what ah yeah I mean do we do we
just have to kind of straw pull this because I um maker dropping him and
Disney dropping him and all that kind of stuff is one thing and it's like a
company decision where they're like we don't want this stuff to happen and
apparently this isn't the first time it's been brought up and like a couple other things that's one thing everyone
claiming that he's like a racist and stuff I absolutely don't think that's
true right but attacking him
personally and attacking him as a business are two
totally different things so I want to know from you guys
do you think this was an overreaction sorry turn it nah I want I
want real answers do you guys think it was an overreaction in the context of
what he was doing or do you think though
for I think people what statement what action okay so getting dropped okay and
people attacking him yeah but those are different things getting the the maker
dropping him because they're like we don't want these images on a partner
Channel Y is totally different than people calling him actually a racist
okay fair enough well I just want to know in general do people think that the
reaction to what he did is an overreaction or do you think it's
appropriate because I I'll say for myself there is no place on a lonus
Media Group channel for an image that
contains those sentiments I can't think
of any context where I would consider
that appropriate to upload and this is why I'm saying the drop and the company
decision is something totally different though because that I I like I'm not
even going to dive into whether or not I agree with what they did but they have
absolutely the right to do that yes if they're like we don't want these things on our Affiliated channels sure that's
totally up to them but calling him a racist for it is a different thing so it
looks like most of our audience thinks this is overall an
overreaction to what was in my mind clearly meant to be an
illustration of a point even if I personally don't think it's in good
taste yeah like I don't think it was in good taste like what about PewDiePie was
in good taste I mean that's the real question here from not just not people
calling him a racist but from maker and Disney dropping him from that
perspective is like what's the the
imaginary line that he suddenly crossed here he was already foulmouthed
completely inappropriate I find it hilarious a
shock and awe Channel basically which I find hilarious but like but is it was
already not Disney princess friendly know yes yes and they should have known
that and this should have been yeah I completely agree I mean maybe though
they were already toying with this idea and this is an opportunity to separate
the brands maybe it's possible I mean we
we never know what goes on in in the boardroom right yeah like I said the
company decision I I don't I don't that's their thing yeah whatever
they want to do and I totally get it like like you just said with line ofc
tips and Affiliated brands or whatever if I were you I would hold the exact
same opinion right like that makes sense
yeah I I I want nothing to do with that when people when my channel icon when my
trademark is sitting next to a video I don't want that image in it yeah yeah
and I totally get that especially from a business point of view but like looking
at him as a person I don't I don't believe that about him as a person
whatsoever at all I his content hilarious he needs a a business partner
unit that wants to accept that kind of stuff and I'm 100% certain they're out
there oh I'm sure they're out there too yeah I mean uh we had uh what's their
face um the porn the porn site was it was it
pornhub or was it like what are you what what is the yeah the one that wanted to sponsor us to do like uh more dildo
racing videos and stuff like okay it was porn I said we should do it I told
Colton to do it and then you heard wind of it we're like no yes I I cut that off
and it's not like and to be clear get I don't have like a strong moral objection
to people watching porn or anything like that it's just not helpful for our
company image and our brand to be associated in the eyes of other people
who we do want to work with and so it's just it would have been Bad Business
move and I just thought it would have been hilarious it got killed so hard so
hard and that's fair
yeah all right see the whole chat's down but that's the problem we have to mark
it to like I don't know I mean well yeah look
at I mean it's not any secret what brands we work with you know we work
with Samsung and we're trying to look friendly to them and Intel and AMD and
Microsoft and like and like we'll attack those guys for their products but we
don't want to put them in an awkward situation of like being affiliated with
a company that they don't want to be near everyone worries about that I mean
one of the most precious things you have as a company maybe the most precious
thing you have in many cases is your brand is that that icon or that slogan
or that what jingle jingle nice jingle um
and to to put that in any kind of
negative light is something that Brands will fight really hard against and we're
talking trivial stuff like if you have
too many pixels of white border or not
enough usually not enough pixels of border around a logo or if you throw a
drop shadow on somebody's font that they
put their tagline in you'll you'll get
like so so working at n okay so we would put together campaigns
for tech companies and so we would take their assets and we would combine them
into like things with you know our product page and our product photos and
all that and then we would put it up on the site and there are brands that would
straight up because there okay so there's the profit margin that a
retailer makes so let's say they buy
this cup at a dollar and they're expected to sell it at you know a150 or
whatever the case may be um so there's that margin but then there there's also
marketing funds so usually called MDF so
for each glass we sell we might also get 20 cents of Kickback at the end of the
quarter and in exchange because it's not
just for selling the glass because if it was that simple they would just sell it
to us at 80 cents in the first place yeah and we would just take 70 cents of
margin no no that kickback is for being
a supportive partner so you have to put together uh a list of all the things you
did to support the sales of this product and the propagation of this brand
message to your customers so inclusion in things like email newsletters um
landing pages banners on the top of the site uh NC Tech tips videos for example
all that kind of stuff you put together this report that says we did this this
this this this and this cut us that check for that extra Kickback that we
qualify for and if you screw it up and
you put the brand in the wrong context in the wrong spot on the page or or next
to pornhub's logo they're just not going
to cut the check which would have been hilarious which would have been really
funny but I never did yeah which totally
makes sense did I ever talk about porn on NC Tech tips must have come up at
some point I must have at least H we have how to hide your
porn like we've touched the topic I here yes but when back when I was like
actually you know a suit I I never wore
suit and wasn't there an ad on that video or did we put no integration I
have I'm I'm not sure what I you know
what I I don't think I don't think we put an integration on it I'm going to
check okay you you check the you check the Hydra porn video um speaking of
which I think that has like a million views now yeah I heard I heard it did
really well in China the community no like seriously like I've heard it it's
at 1.36 million views wow and the like to
dislike at the beginning was like pretty bad it was Savage it's going up slowly
it's actually like it's going right up it's still bad
but wow see like we have that on our
Channel look at these guys I I I sin no
it's a six-minute video there's no way it's a I'm wearing that shirt you're
wearing the oh you're wearing the Highlander shirt so you've got an ASUS
an Intel and wasn't it someone else too
for Highlander Corsair ASUS Intel and
Corsair have their logo all over how to hide your porn that 1.3 million people
say man this video was so
recipes yeah it was so the amount of
like like weird oh man little b-roll things we did was I know like polishing
the that's disgusting okay here here here uh oh you know what no I don't have
that I actually don't have yours plugged in right now I'm sorry it's okay oh man
integration integration if you guys haven't I don't think there's an
integration on it no no ad spot um
so here we go where's no integration that's just awful where's
the uh where's the sausage there it is there it is so this
is that's that's just a sneak peek at the kind of visuals that there were in
this
video oh my God I remember talking about
like this video way back when we were at NCI still either you pitch it to me or
we were just casually talking I was like yeah I've always kind of wanted to do
this I don't remember but I remember after you figured out that it was
somewhere in the back of my mind that maybe it was an acceptable idea you were
like let's do it let's do
it and it took a few years I'm uh I'm
I'm really stoked that we that we did this you know it felt like maybe it was
a bad decision at the time and we we took like from other creators too she
might even be watching this so hi Mom uh
but I was I was on her computer trying to fix
something and I found that this this video had been 100% watched or whatever
they have the new watch duration thing now to be fair my mom will just like
watch literally everything and I think
sometimes she'll just be like watching and then just start doing something else or like leave the computer and I'll just
autoplay like a whole bunch of our videos I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten
distracted from that but I just I saw that and I was like oh
man I'm so sorry Mom I think it's maybe
it's just like a um it's like a double-edged sword right like on the one
hand my family has no idea what I do but
on the other hand they have no idea what I do yeah yeah I I like my family
knowing what I do it it it's I I feel bad that like my mom had to watch that
video cuz that's just super weird but like usually it's cool I can't even like
I have kids now I can't imagine watching one of my kids sit and like flick a raw
sausage on camera oh and like okay you
want to do the the weird part about that too what about when you see 100% watch
time on that video from your kid
oh I don't even I you know what they
would need some tips to hide it from you cuz you're Tech guy yeah you know it's
it's really funny like I remember as a kid like this is going to be a huge note
for L's kids safe browsing private browsing will not be enough for you yeah
this is this is a huge generational difference here in that our generation
and our parents generation your your dad
probably to a lesser extent than either of my parents and your mom but there is
going to be such a difference in the
because he's like Tech heavy yeah yeah in the degree of tech savviness between
the generations because I'm like I'm
looking at what's going on going I'm a little bit out of touch like I don't
snap um okay okay so I I'm not
necessarily up on you know I've never played you know what's that mobile game
that everyone plays with like armies or Clash of Clans Clash of Clans or
whatever else so I've never installed Clash of Clans on a mobile device
neither have I but you know what's going on there's certain things yes yeah there
there's certain things that that that my generation is going to be behind on by
the time my son is is 11 and getting
curious
um anyway
so so I'm I'm a little bit out of touch
but I'm also Savvy enough to understand
like like my parents didn't understand that you could delete the history from a
browser yeah and that's really different
whereas like my kids are going to have to be
vpnn realizing that I know what VPN
traffic encrypted traffic looks like
like there's a whole other sort of game
that is going really intense like I'm actually really excited to like hear the
stories of how this goes down because hiding that from someone who's admitting
your network and knows what they're doing is like and sort of Next Level I'm
not an expert but I'm also not an idiot and I can learn this stuff I you would
that's what I mean I haven't tooled around with enough networking stuff to
consider myself even a beginner by really basic stuff by the standards by
which I judge myself I'm I'm not even a beginner but I know enough to know where
the tool where the book to read is and I know enough to read the book and figure
it out so prove that you're old when the time could have been an
ebook on uh transcript of Al linda.com
course you understood what I meant yeah which
makes you old too um that's fair I still read physical books but like honestly I
wouldn't be surprised if this coming generation goes full circle and has like
nudie printouts magazines because I wouldn't even think
to look for that I mean now that I've thought about it but but it it might be literally
easier to just physically hide something yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe back in the
shed or something weird I don't know y yeah somewhere that you just yeah I mean
I would probably find it if in the shed I mean that's where I keep
my but seriously um yeah yep although
there were some tips that we gave that were very good so the dedicated viewing
device yeah where you keep everything contained you keep it off the network uh
you refuel it when you're on a connection that is outside of anywhere
where an admin would be able to watch you so there are certain tips that we gave in the how to hide video yeah that
that could defeat me but the dedicated device I don't know because that's tough
you have to own it and you have to physically hide it and you have to hide
it and if you find an electronic device that you've never heard of or seen before and that I can't get into that
you can't get into all of those things you can't get into it it's hidden you've never heard of or seen it
before that's getting confiscated so
hard you can have this back when you're
18 wre
um I seriously I don't know what kind of parent I'm going to be about a lot of
things like I'm super strict about some stuff and then other stuff like I'm
pretty chill so I don't I don't really know but like I don't I don't it's it's
amazing are you just going to like figure it out when it happens yeah you can guess what kind of a parent you're
going to be but like I never would have
so okay so I would have known are you like the talk parent um like you're
going to wait till it happens and then have the talk and like explain what it
is and like I don't know cuz like I
speak pretty frankly yes like I'm not going to shy away from the word penis no
at all and like but on the flip side
it's like I don't want I don't you know
what no maybe maybe I will I I'll probably just go for it I'll I'll
probably just like yeah yeah I'll
probably just go for it I'll be like okay
so this is why rim jobs are a bad idea
and it might seem good in a movie yeah but this is here are all
the reasons why not are H in in my opinion that's a good idea because too
many people just see the stuff and then
have no context for why it may or may not be bad and then that's worse and you
will never actually completely stop them
if they really want to I think we also live in an age where this information is
so easily accessible that I'm not convinced it really matters anymore um
it might be better coming from like a trusted somehow I managed to bypass
sexual education in both I think it's grade five or grade six when it comes up
the first time and then I think grade 10 when it comes up the second time mine
was grade seven for some reason so I changed schools in grade six and then
okay so it was at a different so it had already been done at the yep and then um
in high school I don't know what happened exactly but I never got sexual
education I mean it's a miracle I know what to do with it at all maybe I don't
maybe me it seems to be working pretty well yeah it seems to be working pretty well um well not
anymore but um it it did didn't seem to
be that difficult to kind of piece it
together so I don't know my mom stepped up did she gave us the talk yeah
relatively early on to the point where like when we started sex ah in class and
all these kids were like but uh what is that I was like are you all idiots
like I don't know I felt better about
that to be completely honest I I personally prefer knowing more things
even if those things may be uncomfortable I've always believed in
that Mantra I'm going to have to tackle it when I get to it though cuz like I
would have known that I'm the kind of parent who's never going to let his kids
win at anything like people were upset that I didn't let my son win at cribbage
cuz like I should just be impressed that he's playing crib and he's four he can
count his own 15s and runs and Pairs and three of and all that stuff like really
impressive he has a little trouble remembering when he has a flush or nibs
but he's doing real well um but I'm not going to let him win and people were
like upset on Twitter and like I crushed him at risk and posted a picture of that
on Twitter and we were like I'm like then it's more of an accomplishment when
you win my thing like the the little girl at the Nintendo event I did
genuinely want to let her win but that wasn't my kid yes that was how I
approached that I I didn't want to do that even though it happened stupid
training wheels whatever uh because it again wasn't my kid if I was I don't
want one but if I was in line of his position I'd probably do the same thing cuz then when they do beat you it has to
mean something yeah trophies need to mean something and like real
accomplishment is like really cool and something that you can't get in all
beating me at badminton needs to be a real trophy like like you'll go like get
food after that's right and like have a conversation and then I'll cry yeah yes
because I will be officially supp planted as the man of the
house you do that based on
badminton oh that's awesome well what else do I have going for
me that's fantastic should we do some actual news topics or something can the
show's like half over yeah whoa it's
it's like half over okay uh this show is brought to you by Dollar Shave
Club Dollar Shave Club where when you're
a man but you're not supplanted yet you
can shave your face and look younger just like Luke did the last couple weeks
which was actually you you know I wildly unintentional I used to like baby face
Luke and now I think Babyface Luke is uh
we'll throw that baby out with the bath water yeah yeah it's done it's done yeah
it's done it's done rugged Luke works a
lot better for Luke and for lonus yeah yeah and I think it works better for
everyone so like normally I use I'm not even just saying this cuz he had spot I
legitimately use Dollar Shave Club razors down here where you get like the
neck beardy thing yeah cuz neck beard is like I don't want that that gets clean
shaved like getting rid of it neck beard is not even a like you should do it to
be like haha I'm doing something uncool like socks and
sandals grow in well no it just it just looks like you don't care yeah so but
normally I like having like the normal
kind of beard yeah okay um and that would be trimmed and then this would be
shaved yeah so what's up right now what happened right now is uh I have this
super fancy cost me an annoying amount of money electronic razor thingy yeah
and you change the level that the guard is at electronically yeah and it shows
on the display so I was spamming the up button because I was like I want it
to not take off very much at all and it
would like glitch out and not go up every time I pressed it but I was like whatever and I eventually got up to the
maximum setting was like okay cool and I
I went like this and like it doesn't shave that well so I hold it in my hand
like this and just went and just cut this whole side down
and it went like almost straight down to skin I ended up sending a picture to
Jake um Jake has it where I just like I finished up cuz I did half so I just
finished up and made it like too fac and it was insane the like full beard and
then completely gone and I was like okay well I can't do this so I have to finish
both sides and it was just gone and it's funny cuz the end of my personal rig
video I'm like I'm going to shave now and I was intentionally just cleaning it up and then the ad spot immediately
afterwards it's like the next day with
nowh and everyone in the comments was like holy crap you're really ugly and
I'm like that wasn't the goal I was just trying to make it a little bit Tiner I
wasn't trying to sh it off don't be ugly
visit dollarshaveclub.com they've got an offer
now where you can try out their top tier razor for I think it's the first month
is free or something anyway after that it's just a couple bunks a month bunks
couple bucks a month they send highquality razors and they have other bathroom supplies as well straight to
your door so you don't have to get people on the internet telling you that
you are ugly yeah it's good yeah yeah
you can have a beard and still use a blade good stuff shave the neck beard uh
so Samsung air arrested as part of South
Korea's government scandal
so the original article here is from cbc.ca JY Le is a suspect in influence
pedaling Scandal that led to the impeachment of the South Korean
president they have got a thing going on
over there though it surprises me that it even made the
news relative to a lot of other stuff
going on so Samsung paid tens of millions allegedly along with allegedly
a $830,000
horse wow for the president to exert
pressure on Korea's national pension service to support a merger of two
Samsung group companies I see so this
merger would make it easier for JY Lee
to gain control over Samsung Wow way to
go James failure typo Samsung Samsung
Samsung shares in Samsung fell
1.3% Samsung Electronics Co limited and
shares in Samsung CNT Corp fell 2.8 did
I say 1 point something else you said 1.3 well good for me I I you know what
that's it I Quit well then all I was saying was that wasn't a James
problem that's been dealt with okay that's fair yeah Ryzen specs and
prices leaked again again I think it's
been 3 or four weeks in a row yeah something like that yeah here's another
picture of a CPU wait it's wccf Tech I thought the last time they leaked it
they said it was official wait what so this time the same article is this the
same article as last week when was it posted February
12th NOP no okay so is this one more or less
official oh oh hold on I don't think wait did we have what oh I don't think
we had quad and six cores last time so this one is just as official so you can
tell there more of it how totally leaked
and not being carefully doled out by AMD
this information is yeah um I mean it's
interesting so quad core 3.2 to 3.5 GHz
with overclocking apparently all ryzen CPUs will support overclocking is 130
bucks it could be a very good time to be a value consumer again you can get
hyperthreading so an i7 competitor for 107
I shouldn't call it hyperthreading turbo threat I don't know what they call it
this is going to get really confusing really fast my life has been really easy
for the last four years cuz all I have to care about is like the Intel TM names
for things cuz no one cares about amds equivalent so there's hyperthreading and
there's GPU boost I feel like we need those guys just for
the fact that now AMD CPUs are going to
be like a thing y I'm it's going to be so much more work I am stoked great
every video card every video card we're going to have to test on AMD and intell
again literally twice as many can you imagine that it has been so long since
anyone even asked and we'll have to do like RAM stuff can you remember the last
time anybody asked us to Benchmark a new video card on an AMD platform that would
have been back in the garage 2013 wow so it's 2017 now so you can do the math on
that Savage like yeah we'll have to do
RAM because the new platform might have different there'll be a difference maybe
it'll matter cuz it's if you if you don't do like an I3 with a Titan XP
maybe it'll matter in like more scenarios than that y um it's possible
yeah like it's just going to have to do everything cool all right so much more
work what else we got that's okay maybe we can do like a four-part video Yeah
guys yeah you know what I'm down to do
more work though as long as it's something that's exciting no I'm totally
and bringing the fun and like exploration back into a new CPU launch
is is like getting really exciting for me what I have to say though is I'm
falling into the Trap again AMD has done
this to me a lot of times where it has looked really promising I'm not falling
into the Trap and then they have crapped on me I'm getting excited so I I have
become other than with Nintendo which I'm just okay with I have become an
expert at curbing excitement mhm I do
not care and then it'll be on a bench and I'll get super super stoked I'm very
excited to get it on a bench I don't even really care outside of
that then we'll we'll see how it goes I'm excited for the marketplace looking
really different six months from now I and I I hope that I hope that they pull
through because this will be the last time that I will get my hopes up which I
have said before unless it works then there'll be one more time then there'll
be one more time
BuzzFeed and Facebook try to break
readers out of their social media bubbles the original article is from
Bloomberg let's go ahead and pull it
up why does it say and Facebook that yeah that doesn't make any sense so
BuzzFeed tries to break so the publisher will expose audience to opinions from
across the Web different article for Facebook ah okay news outlets seek out
other viewpoints after the surprise election buzzfeed's outside your bubble
feature will appear at the bottom of its
widely shared articles so that they can claim that they're doing this and no one
will ever click on it and it won't matter so the idea then is to get
readers to understand or at least be
exposed to viewpoints of people who don't think like they do if they go to
the bottom of an article and click on what is probably a small button and
click on what looks like probably a promoted story although what I will say is
this someone out there is clicking on promoted stories and believing stuff
that is obviously nonsense yeah someone
is doing that or else it wouldn't be such a huge thing or else it wouldn't be
down there and those articles might
sound slightly more credible there's on
the front page of BuzzFeed there was an a serious investigation article about
how this person is sad that their Bagel wasn't cut in half as effectively as
they would want it to and I don't understand why this
website exists you know what's really funny though is I have I have probably
done a longer rant than that about the worst Subway sandwich anyone ever made
for me I'm pretty sure you've heard
it have you not I think I have but I feel like this was much more interesting
okay okay might as well go for it I I'm going to tell the Subway sandwich rant
this was was bar also hold up before you
go I cannot find this
button how far down do you have to go I don't know I've been going for a while I
might have missed it maybe it hasn't been deployed yet
like I went through the main article yeah I got here I was like okay maybe
it's on the sidebar I tried the more button doesn't
seem to be that oh okay okay so I so
this was okay so there was a period where I don't remember when this was it
must have been about 10 years ago uh maybe like 10 11 years ago so that would
make it what like
2015 um so when was the like anyway
whatever it was it was a period where jobs were like coming back and it was
fairly obvious that at entry level positions they were having a very hard
time at least here in Vancouver filling them every clothing store had Help
Wanted signs for like sales representatives every every restaurant
had Help Wanted signs in the Windows for like cashiers and and um waiters and
waitresses and stuff like that so I
walked into a Subway and this must have been the worst subway employee that I
have ever encountered in my entire life I said okay I would like a foot long sub
on this kind of bread and we got that far okay and then I had my Tuna on it
and I said could I have two layers of tomato and the guy picks up two slices
of tomato and puts them on either end of the sandwich either end of a foot long
looks at me expectantly and I go no no
two layers and so and this this was the part
where my hand almost made it all the way
through my forehead to the back of my skull he picks up the Tomato on the one
end puts it on top of the one at the other end
totally straight face like I'm pretty sure he wasn't messing with me was he
high and looks at me expectantly and I'm I was just I I
actually my mouth was moving I couldn't get words out of it and the shift
supervisor kind of scurries over and goes I'll take it from here grabs a
thing of tomatoes and puts it across the rest of the sandwich and finishes making
my sandwich meanwhile like I can barely even think about what I want to put on it I can't believe what I just witnessed
and you might go look lonus like that's racist yo he probably didn't understand
English or something but I don't buy it
I said two and he managed to get two pieces of tomato and I said layers and
he managed to put one on top of the other so he understood two and he
understood layers why would anybody want either of
those configurations
impossible and I think that that's much worse than the bagel being cut in half
the wrong way also I tried to find it on the Us website manually navigated there
yep nothing nothing okay well we'll figure that out
later um so they're not trying that hard
is probably where I'm going to put that all right so ours Technica the dad
who live streamed his son's birth by
accident on Facebook loses in Court he
tried to sue TV companies that picked up
the video but it was protected under fair use where basically the court said
that where pictures or videotapes themselves are the focus of a major news
story news reporters may make brief use of selected footage to explain to the
public what the story is
about this is really interesting original article from The Verge YouTube
to Kill unskippable 30 second ads next
year here
but oh that's I can it's that was pretty
good I was doing my best there but don't celebrate just yet um there will still
be shorter unskippable ads so there you
go yep
cool this is interesting Bill Gates figures that robots that take your job
should pay taxes um this is
actually wow I initially I kind of went well that's super dumb I'm disappointed
you were such a smart guy before but this is potentially the solution to the
um they'd have to pay in Ed amount of taxes to what I said last was it last
week where I was saying that companies that replace workers are going to have
to pay extra taxes to allow for some
kind of Social Security net for the people who aren't going to have jobs I
got a lot of criticism under that under the video last week people calling me a
socialist or whatever else I think a lot of uh the problems around this is going
to be what defines a robot well if it's
Microsoft it's going to be probably up per core license or something along
those lines like they will probably the government will probably have to redefine what constitutes a person
replacement yeah because like that has happened a lot already yep with
automated machines yep so I mean they'll
probably have to work out some kind of a system based on the current unemployment
rate and much like property taxes the way that they change from year to year
depending on how the real estate market is performing um I suspect they could
come up with some kind of an index that kind of goes okay you have
this proportion of the actual employment that's actually out there you have
automated x amount this is how much you owe to make up the difference for all
the people that clearly don't have jobs at all then there's going to be some tax
Loop if your company is based out of Texas or something and everyone will pay
nothing and everything will go on like normal cool yeah or Delaware is Delaware
the it's Delaware right I don't I'm not sure I think Delaware is the tax
place but um yeah I mean it's an interesting point because this Delaware
tax Haven I mean there there's there's also just the fact that the government
for people not being working is giving up that income
tax yeah so not only are there going to be more people to support like this is a
problem we actually have to solve and like I had people making arguments to me
like no this just frees up people to like do better stuff and like what no
one wants to talk about this but like if
that were true if losing your job driving a coal truck was going to turn
you into a best-selling novelist or something or even a crappy novelist um
if that were how this works if people were just going to make money from
people giving them money by doing something creative or becoming a
professor or whatever the case may be then we would have already seen that we
wouldn't have the situation that we're
in right now in the states with people who just want their jobs back who have
potentially been out of work for many years at this point
um still not having work it's just not how it works
unfortunately it's sort of a big problem like already
um look at like I'm I'm I'm my biggest
worry and uh it's it's not just my
biggest worry it's like a lot of different people's biggest worry is cars
because the transport sector is I believe the biggest employment sector in
the state States yep and like semis and taxi cabs and all this kind of stuff are
a really freaking big deal yep and
that's going to be automated like soon yep very very soon and I mean there's
another Factor here electric cars do not need nearly the same degree of
Maintenance that internal combustion engine cars do um so all of a sudden car
maintenance is going to go from oil changes and transmission fluid and hot
swapping Motors to hot swapping battery Motors and you'll need to replace your
tires and tires basically CU even light bulbs are going done at automated you
drive up it lifts up your car or it doesn't even lift up your car it just
drops the floor out of under it other than where your wheels are so Elan mus
talked about how you would be able to swap out a battery pack faster than you could fill up your car with gas so they
could probably do other stuff too very interesting and um you know
it's just it's one of those things where like he wasn't saying that electric cars
didn't break down more than traditional cars he was saying that the maintenance on them is much different yeah yeah they
can break down tried to call you out sure of course they can of course they can call you down or call you out yeah
of course anyone can call me out I'm sort of a I'm sort of a big Target um of
course they can break down but that's not what we're talking about we're talking about the regular maintenance
that I have to do like every two months on my car and what maintenance entails
yeah very very interesting automat that
maintenance would be that's right oh
boy scary okay um what else we got here
Nintendo switch system menus leaked really that's news way to go James it's
really boring I watched the whole thing it's it's boring okay I'm Nintendo
Fanboy and I was like okay it's a it's a system menu all right okay there's icons
and you scroll through them and then you like type in your information and it makes your an account
hooray um Star Wars The Last Jedi is
officially plural uh we can tell because when it was translated to
Spanish um that's plural so that's good
so I finally saw Rogue one oh and is it
has it been enough time probably I think so I it's only playing in like three
theaters in the Lower Mainland at this point like if you haven't seen it in the theater now you're probably not seeing
it in the theater I like barely made it and I honestly I I'm I apologized for
taking my wife to it afterward and I have to go see 50 Shades Darker as
penants now because she wants to see that that was not a good movie she wants
to see that she's she is I'm a little
disappointed she is otherwise
um she is I'm like rather disappointed
like this this is like a like I'm not mad okay she acknowledges that it isn't
good she knows it's
bad I I don't know I have never seen the
first one like have you no like do you know how bad it is I don't know about
the movie but I know the premise of the books and I've read articles of like sex
positive people reviewing the book and being like this is morally and like
emotionally and physically bad because even if you want to like play with these
types of Dynamics what is described in the book is literally
abuse so because like things aren't communicated properly you could do the
same stuff if you communicated it properly but it's not really bad I know
I've never read the books I've never seen the original movie anyway the point
is I now thanks to Rogue one have to go
see a trashy movie I'm very sorry for you yeah and so am I and I'm almost as
sorry for myself that I had to see Rogue
one because there there were there were some good
moments um but there so spoiler alert
there were some good moments but there was some
incredibly immersion and flow breaking stuff in that movie okay what was
immersion breaking okay so here's there
first of all the score was terrible I couldn't believe how bad the musical score was for a star warsie I was not I
was not a fan of the score it actually took me out of the movie multiple times
where I went why why did they change something
about the iconic Star Wars tune right now just then why there was no reason to
change that and the opening music like right when it opens is bad there's no
opening text scroll but like I'm not going to get I'm not going to get too
sort of upset about that I think the idea there is that it's not a Mainline
movie but yeah here here is one of the
biggest okay so so a couple times it was just really bad writing and bad acting
so the delivery of the inspirational motivational speech to the Rebel command
was awful it was abominable and the like
the shots of the reactions in the room I mean the ACT she's very good at being
sad the actress playing mon mothma clearly chosen for looking like mon
mothma not chosen for any kind of acting skills whatsoever um she's really good
at being sad yeah she's good at being sad JY is very good at being sad yeah
I'm not going to criticize jyn too hard other than that speech um or like her
scene with like the hologram thing was like really good yep that was good um
another another sort of sort of brutal criticism another really flow breaking
thing for me I understand it's not David prous in the suit I get it but he should
still probably try to kind of move like Darth Vader instead of moving like a guy
on the sidewalk in Las Vegas who bought a good Darth Vader costume like there is
a demeanor to Darth Vader he strides purposefully he doesn't
walk and I was just like I do not buy
this character at all as a dark imposing
threatening guy the force choke scene just about had me cringing my face off
okay the line is so bad the line is bad
but that happens a lot if you look at the previous movies there's a lot of he
likes his Vader likes his cheesy he's still an a little
bit a little bit I think a lot of it was just how it was
delivered cuz I cringed really hard too and then I like thought about it
afterwards and I was like he does that kind of stuff a lot yeah but like how
it's handled he doesn't make eye contact with the victim yeah it's not
intimidating yeah he's just like cash like b dubs my hand is like
this it's terrible it's terrible the
body language of Darth Vader is way off
and then I'm going to get into the part that's worst now all action movies are guilty
of this to an extent there will be a scene where someone has to Defuse The
Bomb and you see the countdown timer and it's like 12 seconds left and it's like
ticking down like 3 seconds tick down in this shot and then it like Cuts away to
other stuff happening and clearly like a minute has passed by the time we get
there and there's still a second left or there will be a situation where
like someone has to someone has to jump
but the trains are pulling apart they've been detached and someone has to has to
jump and clearly they're already far too far apart for the then the next shot is
like now like this and they like keep doing it where like they're moving apart
oh no really they're moving apart this time and then finally they make the jump
and like you know this is not complicated math how long it takes them
to separate we're like 30 m apart by the time they jump they hit the tracks they
die all action movies do it to an extent and it's flow breing for me every time
but Rogue one had one of the most egregious examples of this it's been a
while since I've seen it that I have ever seen so they arrive at the planet
or moon or whatever it is I don't care because I'm never rewatching this movie
they arrive there and The Shield's open
and they're just like who let's go for it we got to help them they're on the
surface this is important and they get like four X-Wing Fighters through the
hole before the Imperials managed to seal it up okay I mean and this is
ignoring the fact that the rebels are bombing the energy Shield instead of the
Ring structure surrounding it for some compl stupid unbelievable reason later
on oh this isn't working against a planetary shield and then they see and
then they see when it like breaks that thing falls apart so immediately the
whole Shield goes away and it's like well and there's another sort of space movies issue that I have in general here
and that's the whole our Shields are at 60% meanwhile there's like gigantic
chunks of the spaceship being blown off by like torpedo blasts and stuff I'm
like are your Shields up or not um okay okay so anyway while The Shield
is open like four x- WIS get through so
it could be like 60% of The Shield is still intact okay I've had enough of you
so four x Wings get through maybe it's five whatever the point is not a lot
then for the next 10 minutes I'm to
believe that this one shuttle worth of
Commandos which look to be about 20 people maybe 30 people and these four
x-wings all of which every single one of
which you watch get blown up like three
times over the course of the next 10 minutes like if you go back and watch it
and count how many people are like they're fighting 80 Walkers down there
and I'm to believe that they're in a pitched battle for all this time with no
reinforcement there are actually Rebel Fighters Under
The Shield that are not x-wings engaging
with an entire Squadron of Tie fighters
before the shield opens again they're not even
trying they're not even trying to make it somewhat believable I'm not asking
for it to like be perfect I mean okay so the uh Return of
the Jedi space battle equally guilty of this you watch the entire Rebel Fleet
jump into hyperspace it's like 15 ships
okay and then they're fighting against what looked like an entire like they had
a star destroyer for every Rebel fighter
like that battle was over before it started regardless of what the Death
Star does but at least try and then
finally the robot quite like the robot character is it cliche to have kind of
The Sassy you know robot or whatever sure but I can somewhat let it go he's
got some good one liners that's fine but if the Empire had these highly refined
versions of the battle droids we saw in the prequel trilogy why are they
deploying Stormtroopers to fight anything I mean the guys like catching
stuff and throwing it without even looking at it he takes down an entire
Squadron of Stormtroopers in a heroic Last Stand at the end which with one
pistol while often not even looking at them to be fair though I think part of
that was subtle cuz they're not going to immediately assume that the Droid Isn't is an enemy
well they're fighting I mean they're getting shot at they were coming in
waves no they were coming in waves if they had anything that badass where was
it in New Hope Empire and return to the Jedi I
mean so there you go very flow Breaking
Bad score they BW up the they lost the plans for it they couldn't make them
anymore decent to bad acting um and they
also lost like how to maintain them which was stored in those archives as
well so they all broke down and they never made
anymore all right so thank you for watching the WAN Show we will see you
again next week same bat Time same bat Channel bye
guys
this episode of the Star Wars show brought to you by Dollar Shan
club I'm not going to say that I don't have to because you
did
