1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720
You have to account for that somehow.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,880
So. Oh, and I suspect it would probably be recovered.

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,360
If I didn't go run around and play paintball with it, that's okay.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,520
It's worth it. Oh, cool.

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:27,160
I don't know if this is true because it's on Facebook and everything on Facebook is fake, but the heads on Easter Island.

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Um, archaeologists have long suspected that some of them had a buried body.

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,680
Um, I thought we knew that. I don't know.

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,680
If it's on Facebook, it's a lie. It says P kinetics. Yeah.

9
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:43,280
Yeah. Yeah, we've known that for a while.

10
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,520
Oh, everyone's talking about the, uh, which one is it?

11
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,960
It's Jake Paul, right? Yeah. The Jake Paul versus, uh, Mike Tyson fight and chat.

12
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,040
I asked people to tell me who wins. So it's going to be spoiled for everyone.

13
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,160
What? Why would you do that? I didn't realize the spoiler thing out until after I asked and I was like, oh,

14
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,080
you are such a dick sometimes.

15
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Yeah. Right now. Yeah. There's a watch party in the other building.

16
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,560
Uh, who was it? Uh, who was I talking to about this?

17
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:30,280
I think it was, was it? Oh, it was Andrew, um, camera guy, Andrew, uh, he was saying that they are

18
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,320
incentivized to keep the fight going as long as possible.

19
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Um, and he's like super pissed about it. Cause apparently it's like, yeah, cause it's like a sanction fight.

20
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,720
So that means it's like a real fight.

21
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,640
But if the terms of the fight have the fighters getting paid more to drag it

22
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,520
out to fight differently, then that's not really directly affect the match.

23
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Yeah. Then that's not really a fight. But what I could kind of see from, from my point of view is if I was Jake Paul,

24
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,240
I'd be trying to like incentivize my 60 year old opponent to go as many rounds

25
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,440
as possible because that might give him a chance.

26
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Um, they're using 14 ounce gloves, apparently.

27
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,360
Uh, I don't know what that means cause I don't, I don't boxing.

28
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,480
Um, but I guess pretty sure that's a lot heavier than mine where.

29
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,320
Yeah. I think I had 10 or maybe 12, but at a professional level, professional boxing

30
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,240
match is usually 10 for the purpose of training bag work. The standard sizes are 12.

31
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,720
Okay. Yeah. So I think I had 12, so they're using like super heavy gloves then.

32
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Yeah.

33
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Yeah. Kellum says it's disgusting the commission sanctioned the fight in the first place.

34
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Uh, yeah. Cause this is just, this is a circus show, you know, like it's, uh, and to be clear,

35
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,920
like I wouldn't step into a ring with either of them. Like I, I am not a professional fighter.

36
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:07,160
It's just, uh, it's softer impact with a heavier glove.

37
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,800
Yeah. Oh, the heavier the love, the harder to knock out.

38
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Interesting.

39
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,560
God, oh, so it's harder to like accelerate into it.

40
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Yeah. Okay. Interesting. See, I would have thought heavier glove is like a heavier thing, but.

41
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480
You got to think about the material that's making it heavier too. Right. It's more cushion.

42
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,480
Yeah. Got it.

43
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,560
They swim in in the kiddie pool.

44
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,480
All right. Yeah. Cool. I mean, there's heavier gloves than 14 ounce, but.

45
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Oh. Hold on. Jordan says there was some, uh, misinformation around the Tim Cook mouse

46
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,920
thing. So I'm glad you pointed that out before we go live, uh, magic mouse.

47
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Hold on. Hold on. Uh, here he is in June telling MKBHD that it's ergonomic, which is obviously

48
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,040
stupid, um, Mac observer.

49
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,200
Okay. Hold on. What is ergonomic? Oops. That page can't be found. Hold on.

50
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,960
This may be fake news. Um, glad we're catching this now. Fake news.

51
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Hold on a second. Hold on.

52
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:25,000
And it is anyone, uh, I'm trying to separate it called Apple sucks.

53
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Hmm. Yeah. This might be a problem. Get better hobbies.

54
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Geez. I'm not really a fan either, but like, holy crap.

55
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:41,080
Hold on. Mac observers reporter made a mistake and misquoted cook.

56
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,360
All right. New title. It's the Verges reporter who said that he, the reporter uses an MX three over a magic

57
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,840
mouse. There's no mention of cook using Logitech's products in the WSJ's article.

58
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Check it out. Okay. So, uh, yep.

59
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Okay. Good. I'm glad we caught that. So let's, uh, let's get a new title here.

60
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,640
Let's see, should we go with info wars acquired by the onion?

61
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:11,560
That has also had some new developments. Apparently, uh, he has control of it again for the time being.

62
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,800
While there's some kind of investigation into it next week.

63
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,760
I just thought it was hilarious that the onion even bit on it at all.

64
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,840
So I didn't still like doing stuff. Uh, I think so.

65
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:25,560
They're owned by someone. I forget who. Uh, I think so.

66
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,360
They're owned by someone. I forget who.

67
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Enhav says, we have 25 plus budgies.

68
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:38,360
Should we sell? How would we end his pricing based on color?

69
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,520
If you're asking those questions, you're, you're, you're just, you're asking the wrong

70
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,000
questions. I don't even know. Why do you have that many budgies?

71
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Yeah, I don't, I don't even know. Um, stop.

72
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,440
The onion is still active. Is that a twitch person?

73
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,280
Are you reading twitch? What? Or is that full plane? Full plane. I didn't see it in full plane.

74
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,080
Uh, lots of people talking about it. Oh, I see. Yeah.

75
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:12,040
Um, hold on.

76
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Okay.

77
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:23,840
Okay.

78
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,760
Oh, I have an actual source for this thing. Um, okay.

79
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,280
Hmm. What do we want then?

80
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:39,760
Um.

81
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,040
Hmm.

82
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Onion relaunched a print edition, which is what let them purchase infowars.

83
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,120
What? Well, hold on. But save it for the show. Save it for the show.

84
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,720
Um, oh, I gave that advice.

85
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,160
What do you think of that? Uh, sure.

86
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,160
No. What about? Uh, about our backpack.

87
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,160
My advice. No, no, just save it. No, no, look at it later.

88
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,160
Look at it later, but I've seen it. Oh, okay.

89
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,160
Um, can I riff about it or should I not? Uh, for title.

90
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,160
Yeah. Yeah. Or maybe it's stupid.

91
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,160
My advice. My advice. Ruin.

92
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,160
Ruin is backpack. No. My product.

93
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,160
My advice ruined my product. Um, I don't know.

94
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160
I worry about the people who are going to see that headline. Be like, yeah.

95
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,160
Be like, yeah. Yeah. Like he always does.

96
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Dummy.

97
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,160
Let's see. Maybe he should fight Paul next.

98
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,160
For $20 million, I would.

99
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,160
I get knocked out for 20. No, sure. Why not?

100
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Wait, who cares? You even have to. Oh, yeah, that's true.

101
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Just purely only work on cardio and just run the whole time.

102
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,160
You said you want the fight to go for a long time, right?

103
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,160
People would be so mad and you'd have $20 million.

104
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Amazing.

105
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,160
Oh, man. That bro trusted me.

106
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,160
Um, man.

107
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,160
Um,

108
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160
someone reviewed my company.

109
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Oh, Oh,

110
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,160
my latest business is not a stupid failure.

111
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Surprise. Yeah, let's do it.

112
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,160
I kind of like that.

113
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,160
I'm kind of down.

114
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Sure. Sure.

115
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Okay, sure.

116
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160
Oh, man. Are we talking about the speeding thing?

117
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Whatever. Cool. The whole internet has talked about it.

118
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,160
We don't, this doesn't have to be a like creator drama show.

119
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Yeah. If you want to hear about Marquez speeding, go look it up.

120
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,160
And like if you're wondering why Jack Doherty and not Marquez,

121
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,160
it's because when I was looking at the Jack Doherty thing,

122
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,160
him like making his cameraman keep rolling when his head was bleeding and stuff,

123
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,160
like it's a bit of a different thing.

124
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,160
To be clear,

125
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,160
neither was good. No. Obviously.

126
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Yeah.

127
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,160
To be fair, I also didn't think we should talk about the Jack Doherty thing.

128
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Yeah. Nice.

129
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,160
We got a bunch of comments that were like, you guys clearly didn't watch the video.

130
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Like, yes, I did actually. What are you talking about?

131
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160
Anyways, I mean, it's not like it's, it's not like there's a lot of gray area here.

132
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Well, I don't remember. I don't remember. I think they interpreted as like we were trying to,

133
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,160
because we were talking about where the line is of what should get you banned off platforms.

134
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,160
So people thought by having that conversation, we were justifying what he did.

135
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,160
What? No, no,

136
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,160
obviously not. Like, and I kept on.

137
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,160
You kept on trying to draw the line and I kept on being like,

138
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,160
well, blah, blah, blah, blah, because I was trying,

139
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,160
you know, we were trying to get an accurate line. And people thought I was trying to defend

140
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,160
what he was doing. I was like, no. No, we're saying the line should be like

141
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,160
way earlier than that. And all my point was that we need to,

142
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160
to define it clearly. Yeah.

143
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,160
Because if it's not clearly defined, it won't be enforced. And people took that as like saying that it was okay.

144
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,160
I'm like, my God. Linus promote speeding.

145
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,160
You make me so tired sometimes. Oh,

146
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,160
I can't imagine that. Like,

147
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,160
the amount of, the amount of you get sometimes.

148
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,160
Which drive me up the wall.

149
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,160
My God.

150
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,160
I'll like, I'll have conversations with Linus. I'm like, you just need to not read it.

151
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,160
And then someone will say something very minor

152
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,160
about one random comment that I make. And I'm just like, boom, pissed.

153
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Well, okay. It's so much easier when you're on the outside

154
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,160
because I'll look at something and just be like, that's obviously stupid.

155
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,160
Just ignore it. And then I

156
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,160
can't do it so easily all the time. The Beastie Boy says Linus never speeds on his motorbike.

157
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Yeah. For sure.

158
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Well, I mean, my bike's maximum speed is like 109 kilometers an hour or so.

159
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,160
That's not true. Don't ask me how I know.

160
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,160
I haven't ridden in two years though. So,

161
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,160
Dad, do you know about my, my first car?

162
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,160
Is this not the one with the hole in it? No, that's the one with the hole in it.

163
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,160
Okay. I, my first car,

164
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,160
none of the dials on the dash worked except for the tack.

165
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,160
So at no point in time, but I know how fast I was going or how much fuel I had

166
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,160
or anything. I just,

167
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,160
I just knew if the tack was working. So I would judge my speed based on like,

168
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,160
you know, how fast light poles were going by or like,

169
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,160
it was an automatic. So I couldn't tell a hundred percent, but trying to gauge what gear I was in

170
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,160
and observing what the tack was doing and comparing against other cars on the road,

171
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,160
stuff like that. Never once got a speeding ticket in that car. Just fill it up every Sunday or something.

172
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,160
But yeah, just kind of guess. Well,

173
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,160
I also got pretty used to in that car, judging how much fuel I had by how the car felt.

174
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Oh, that's very good driving, which I can do in my current car now.

175
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,160
Good. Because of that car, I like trained on that car.

176
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,160
There's a lot of things I learned about like, being able to judge what your car is doing.

177
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,160
I can't tell in a car. I can tell in my bike. I can tell in a car for sure.

178
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,160
But that's only because I'm like leaning and stuff. Yeah.

179
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,160
I can't tell in a car for sure. Even my TL I can tell. That's crazy.

180
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,160
There's no way I could do that. Yeah.

181
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,160
Oh, are we good to go? I mean, you're adding an extra like person in there. Yeah, we're good to go.

182
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,160
Yeah.

183
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,160
All right. Let's do this thing.

184
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,160
Luke missed his calling as a rally driver. Nah, man.

185
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,160
He is a full fuel tank. Like, look at this guy.

186
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,160
He's not winning any races.

187
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,160
How do I look upset?

188
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,160
I didn't hit him. I aimed at the wall. Oh, my leg.

189
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Do you want another shot? Do you want another pen? Try again.

190
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,160
I'll show you a sore leg.

191
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,160
Are you still limping? It's my pen. Yeah.

192
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,160
Oh. I'm about 30%.

193
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,160
I trained last night. But I went really easy on it.

194
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,160
So you have the same mentality that Jim Ratz heard all the time. This is why.

195
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,160
I did go easy on it. I went very easy on it. Yeah.

196
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,160
And I did not injure it any further. So. And I couldn't tell anything was wrong

197
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,160
until the next day because I thought I did fine. Yeah, well.

198
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,160
Yeah. But I will honestly also just be fine.

199
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,160
I don't know. Easy, men. Easy.

200
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,160
Easy, Jim, Mr. Linus assaults employee. He then speeds home 100%.

201
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,160
Go ahead. Put it on Reddit right now.

202
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,160
I don't even care. All right. I'm posting it now.

203
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Not you. Oh, sorry.

204
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,160
I did not hit her. I did not. Oh, hi, Mark.

205
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,160
Oh, hi, Mark. Mark went home.

206
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,160
Okay. You guys ready? All right.

207
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Let's do this thing. Notice that we didn't answer a light.

208
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,160
I said later.

209
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Later. We'll do it later. What is it?

210
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,160
Just like after first topic or what?

211
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Oh, we're just not telling him. Okay.

212
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:42,160
What's up, everybody?

213
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:48,160
Welcome to the WAN Show. We've got a great, great show lined up for you guys today.

214
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Only the best. Only the best show for you guys.

215
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:56,160
I forget what our headline topic is, but Amazon is going to be taking on Sheehan

216
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,160
and Temu with a new sub $20 Amazon haul.

217
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:07,160
Also, our headline topic, I am less stupid than some people think I am.

218
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Dang! I didn't say by much.

219
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,160
No, I didn't say by much. Oh. Yeah, I didn't say by much.

220
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,160
Just less. Just less. New business, apparently, pretty cool.

221
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:24,160
What else we got going on this week? If you go to websites on boxes, it might be a good or bad week for you.

222
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,160
It depends on what you think about certain websites. I'm going to leave that as vague as it is.

223
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,160
The wicked thing. Oh. I mean, it's in main news topics.

224
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,160
I know. But there's literally only two things.

225
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160
Really? We're getting pornographic within the first minute of the show?

226
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,160
There is only two things in main news topics. I told them it was a good show this week.

227
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,160
I'm going to take both of them, okay? I told them it was a good show. That's not necessarily bad.

228
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,160
It's just a news topic. Hot take.

229
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,160
We're not saying the subject matter is good or bad. All right.

230
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Let's get the intro going. Jeez.

231
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:02,160
This is, I think, objectively bad. Sony employees allegedly selling personal data of users.

232
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:23,160
Cool. Way to go, Luke.

233
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,160
The show is brought to you today by Squarespace. Ridge, RocketMoney, and of course, our chair partner secret lab,

234
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,160
our laptop partner LG, and our rap partner Dbrand.

235
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,160
Why don't we jump into not our headline topic?

236
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,160
Oh. And why don't we talk about the channel hiatus stuff from this week?

237
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:48,160
Yeah. We should probably get that kicked out as quickly as possible.

238
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:56,160
I want to preface this by saying that we will not and have not and are not going to be commenting

239
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,160
on anything to do with personnel changes here at the company.

240
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,160
That is our policy, and that's the way it's going to be.

241
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,160
So with that in mind then, I've got a small FAQ that I can go through with you guys,

242
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,160
and that is about all we're going to be able to say about it.

243
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,160
So one, what happened this week? We put three channels on hiatus.

244
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,160
TechQuickie, GameLinked, and Mac Address.

245
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,160
For the past year and a half, ever since our week of reflection,

246
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,160
we've had extensive discussions about ways that we can improve our operations

247
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:34,160
and function more smoothly as a company. We've spent that time working through operational and communication challenges

248
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:42,160
that we've faced realistically since our hyper growth period from about 2020 to 2022, 2023,

249
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:48,160
and even before that. We've learned a lot during this time, and we feel that refocusing and refreshing

250
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,160
is the best path forward for the long-term success of the company and even those channels.

251
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,160
Two, what do you have planned for these channels?

252
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,160
The hiatus is to allow our team to evaluate and refocus.

253
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,160
Three, is LMG becoming evil and corporate?

254
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:12,160
And the answer here is, if anything, I think a little bit of corporate responsibility is long overdue.

255
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,160
Some business management experience was brought in for a good reason.

256
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:23,160
I mean, we brought Taren in to kind of take a look at things so that we would actually have a full-time CEO

257
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,160
instead of like, when I have time for it, CEO.

258
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,160
We did all of that before the August controversy last year.

259
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:37,160
We did it for a good reason. We've allowed unsustainable business practices to carry on for far too long in our past,

260
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,160
and this has caused significant issues to morale, to growth, to audience sentiment.

261
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,160
They're unacceptable, and we need to streamline things.

262
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,160
Number four is, can we give suggestions about what we want to see happen on these channels in the future?

263
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,160
And the answer is totally. Acceptable places for that would be the Lennist Tech Tips dot com forum.

264
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:04,160
We'd love to see your suggestions on the subreddit as well, but it's a little more ephemeral.

265
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:11,160
A little harder for us to track down in the future, but the LTT forum would be the best part.

266
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,160
And that's it? That's all I have to say about that?

267
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,160
Yeah. Why don't we jump right into...

268
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,160
Oh man, what do you want to do? Oh.

269
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,160
My business isn't stupid. Yeah, my business isn't stupid.

270
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:33,160
One of the top comments on just about every video about Smash Champs,

271
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,160
the badminton gym slash land gaming center is...

272
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,160
Is that really a business?

273
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,160
Like, is that a thing? What?

274
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,160
To be fair, I think you have even said publicly in the past that you don't suspect it's going to be like a super profitable endeavor.

275
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,160
You just kind of want it to pay for itself. Yeah, but I had a high degree of confidence that it would do that.

276
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:05,160
Yes. And it seems like that confidence has not been echoed by members of the community.

277
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,160
One of the top comments is also that it seems very cheap.

278
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,160
Ah, well, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that.

279
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,160
But first, a quick review of Smash Champs.

280
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,160
Linus's new badminton facility from Mark makes jet lag games.

281
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,160
Sorry, what's that now? It's not that quick. Oh yeah, it's really not that quick.

282
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,160
A short summary that you have to scroll through. Made the drive today to give it a try.

283
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:32,160
My usual spots were full. There's a soft opening so you can register for a drop-in session.

284
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,160
I booked online and paid with their system.

285
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:41,160
I worried based on pictures that parking would be an issue, but the lot was huge, so that was no issue.

286
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,160
Drop-in was $12, which seems pricey, but you get three hours at prime time.

287
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,160
And the courts are way nicer.

288
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,160
The videos they posted don't do it justice. It's beautiful and bright.

289
00:21:53,160 --> 00:22:01,160
The change room especially stood out to me. The courts were fantastic, comfortable, bright without lights in your eyes, and easy to see the shuttle in lines.

290
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,160
I felt like I played a lot better defense than normal. This may have had an effect on that.

291
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,160
Who knows? Actually, it's probably more to do with the high ceilings, but we'll talk about that some other time.

292
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,160
Apparently, the delay for opening was some kind of manufacturing defect on the courts.

293
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,160
It seems fine, but hey, good job committing to the highest standards.

294
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,160
And blah blah blah, how drop-in works. The pro shop seemed fine.

295
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,160
The pricing isn't anything special. Yeah, fair enough. All in all, I was very impressed.

296
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,160
I would love to make it a regular location, but it's far for me.

297
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,160
Okay, yeah, fair enough. Yeah, so that was pretty cool.

298
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Pretty cool to see. We haven't opened up reviews on Google Maps yet.

299
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,160
I read this whole thing because I thought it was cool as well. Because we're not open yet.

300
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,160
We're still soft open.

301
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:51,160
And I don't think it's really occurred to anyone to leave a review on Facebook.

302
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:57,160
But yeah, it's exciting to see it not be totally dunked on.

303
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,160
I think the team's been working really hard. I think they've been doing a really great job.

304
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,160
And it's worth noting that any comments on pricing, ignore.

305
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:13,160
Because this is soft opening pricing, and I don't know that it will remain exactly the way that it is in the longer term.

306
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Random comment on the like, I feel like I played defense better thing.

307
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,160
If you feel like you're in a better environment, you'll often placebo yourself into doing better.

308
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,160
So like that is potentially even a thing, even if we're not accounting for the high ceiling.

309
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,160
That probably isn't it though. So most of the centers in Richmond have lower ceilings.

310
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,160
And the impact that that has on the game is it speeds it up.

311
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:44,160
And the reason for that is twofold. One is that when you lift up and when you clear, when you hit all the way to the back line,

312
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:50,160
you are hitting lower. So it's a shorter time for the opponent to react and hit it back.

313
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:57,160
So it speeds up the game that way. And then the other impact is that it changes the angle of the shuttle

314
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,160
so that you are far more likely to strike the cork directly.

315
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,160
So you think he was playing better defense because shots were going like all the way to the roof?

316
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:10,160
Hold on, hold on, I'll get to that. So it changes the angle that your racket will impact the shuttle.

317
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:17,160
So you hit the cork first. Instead of it dropping straight down and hitting the feathers and then the cork,

318
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,160
which absorbs some of the power. So what happens is if you have a higher ceiling,

319
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,160
people are more likely to hit it up higher, giving you more time to get into position to defend.

320
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:32,160
And then the other impact is that it is more likely to be falling straight down,

321
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,160
making it more difficult for your opponent to generate power.

322
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,160
So your defense is probably better because you can see better,

323
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,160
because you have more time and because your opponent is having a harder time generating power.

324
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,160
Now your opponent having a harder time generating power

325
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,160
does not mean that our facility is bad because the ceilings are too high.

326
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,160
It means the other ones are too low

327
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,160
and people are more easily generating too much power.

328
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,160
In fact, for international play, you should have a ceiling height of at least 32 feet,

329
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,160
which is about, I think it's...

330
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,160
What is the smash dance one? I forget. We're 32 feet. Yeah.

331
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,160
So yeah, pretty cool.

332
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,160
Very excited. All right.

333
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,160
I think it's time, though, for us to change the subject

334
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,160
to talking about Elijah Week.

335
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,160
And we have a special guest here on the WAN Show,

336
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,160
the one, the only... David!

337
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,160
Yvonne. Oh, we both went for the same joke.

338
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,160
Nice. Yeah. Is there a mic or am I just supposed to walk on?

339
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,160
Wait, yeah. Does he have a mic, Dan? Oh, look at that.

340
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,160
Soft opening, you say. Wow. What?

341
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,160
Really? Soft opening of a badminton, sorry. Yeah, but you're good at...

342
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,160
It's been six seconds. You're going to make a soft opening while you got this...

343
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,160
you got this in your hand? At least use two. It's hard.

344
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,160
One topic's on brand. Is his mic on?

345
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,160
I mean... Does it matter? It is, but you guys can't hear it.

346
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,160
Oh, it's on. I mean, one second. It's got to get warmed up.

347
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,160
Just give him a minute. So, what are we supposed to...

348
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,160
We're entering Elijah Week, right? Try rubbing it.

349
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,160
No, not the tall Elijah.

350
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,160
You're going to get burned on it. It would come to war.

351
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,160
You're going to have to talk to everyone after this. I'm going to hate everybody.

352
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,160
Everybody's going to hate you. No, they love you. No, they don't.

353
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:29,160
They'll hate me for telling you not to rub it. Actually, did you know the trailer for Elijah Week has the most dislikes?

354
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,160
What? Really? Out of all the other trailers?

355
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:37,160
Wow, what a polarizing figure he is. I think it was because we kind of, like, everyone was wanting Sarah a week after she did that

356
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,160
pumpkin carving stream. There it is. And then the next announcement being my week, everyone was like, no.

357
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,160
So, it's not that you're unpopular. It's just that you're less popular.

358
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,160
Correct. All right, cool. That's okay.

359
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,160
So, yeah, Elijah Week happened. There's three videos up on Floatplane.

360
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,160
You can go watch right now. Oh, it happened. Yeah, it already happened.

361
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,160
Apparently, they're having me after, because if I went before, it would probably, you know,

362
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,160
make people unsubscribe. So, they wanted to at least let it finish before.

363
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,160
But you can meet the team, which is me. That's hi, I'm here.

364
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,160
There was another one, which was me showcasing my very first script.

365
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,160
This script, I did not get hired because of.

366
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,160
I haven't watched this yet, but I want to watch this. I don't get it.

367
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:21,160
Sorry, what do you mean by that? So, I applied for the writing position back in late 2021.

368
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,160
Oh, you didn't work here in late 2020? Correct.

369
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:30,160
I worked here in 2023. So, either I missed the email, like, for a whole year, or...

370
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,160
Awkward. Really bad. My bad.

371
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,160
Okay, just quick interjection.

372
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,160
Unironically, and if you're out there, sorry, unironically had someone respond to an email

373
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:49,160
from me from 2019, which was progressing them to the next stage of the interview process

374
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,160
with the things that they needed to give me for that step.

375
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,160
No note of, like, sorry, this is so many years late or anything.

376
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,160
And here you go. And I was like... I made it go into your attention.

377
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160
That's incredible. Dude, I'm not hiring that role anymore.

378
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Yeah, but if you were... We have a great person in there.

379
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,160
I'm very happy with how that person's been doing.

380
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,160
It actually blew my mind.

381
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,160
I sat there looking at it for an embarrassingly long period of time, trying to figure out,

382
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,160
like, did I do something wrong? Is this actually...

383
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,160
Am I reading something? Is this a newer email? It's like you've been married for years.

384
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:33,160
You have, like, three children, and this, like, guy you asked to prom is like, yo, let's go.

385
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,160
I am so down to go to prom with you.

386
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,160
This isn't happening anymore. This is over.

387
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,160
Oh, that's great. And also, you made it horribly.

388
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Oh, my God. Man, attending the 20-year reunion, I got to tell you, some people, like, man, do they

389
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,160
ever age on, like, a very graceful curve?

390
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,160
And then, man, some people, it's just like...

391
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Hit a wall. That's rough. That's rough.

392
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,160
I'm sorry for you. My tenure reunions next year.

393
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,160
I'm scared to go. Are you going? Definitely not.

394
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,160
So he's too cool to go? Yeah. We discussed this last week.

395
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,160
I just... I'd be too famous, you know? See?

396
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,160
This is what I'm talking about. Oh, my God. That hurt me to say.

397
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:24,160
This is what I'm talking about. Do you think reunions like that are of diminished value now that we have, like, highly connected

398
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,160
social media? Because I think so. You know, like, Facebook is a thing.

399
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,160
I don't think... I don't know. I've always thought that the idea of reunion from people from high school is useless.

400
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,160
Because if I wanted to stay friends with you, I would have stayed friends with you.

401
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,160
Yeah. Too cool. Like, no, I don't know.

402
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,160
I was friends with no one in high school. So, like, why do I want to go back to a bunch of people that bullied me?

403
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,160
Like, I don't like... It's also kind of fair, like, if that's your experience.

404
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,160
No, he's above it. I am. He's risen.

405
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,160
He's like the cream. He's the cream. Whoa.

406
00:29:54,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Soft opening. Anyways... The last video on Elijah Week was Creator vs. Superfan.

407
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,160
Cringe, cringe name. We both said it was cringe when we started filming.

408
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Nice. Sammy definitely stacked the questions in Linus' favor.

409
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,160
No, he didn't even. But if you haven't gone and watched it, you should still go watch it.

410
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,160
He didn't even. I love this look on your face.

411
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,160
The confidence of you and me being... Was this even a post thumbnail?

412
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160
No. No. Not even a little.

413
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,160
It feels like it's just a random slide from the video.

414
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,160
I think all three of them are just random slides from the video.

415
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,160
Are you going to explain what Creator vs. Superfan even is?

416
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:38,160
Are you just going to leave them with that? No, basically, what happened was, based on the Sam upgrade video we did a couple months

417
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:43,160
ago, there was one snippet in that video where Linus mentioned that I have an encyclopedic

418
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,160
knowledge of LTT and everything. And our videos.

419
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,160
I've been surprised by this a few times. But it's a thing.

420
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,160
It's actually like... It's a thing. James asked me today.

421
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,160
Yeah. And I got an answer. Tell you what.

422
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,160
Tell you what. Why don't you come on my podcast and instead of me talking, you talk.

423
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,160
That sounds good. It is Elijah Week.

424
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,160
That's a pretty good point.

425
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,160
No, I was trying to pump you up.

426
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,160
I was trying to fluff your feathers. I feel like you're bullying me. No, no.

427
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,160
This is like high school again. What's going on? What's up?

428
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,160
It's fucking bad about me. What do you mean? No one's talking bad about you, Sammy.

429
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,160
You're doing great. Yeah, we're not talking bad about you right now.

430
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Not right now. That was before. You're doing great.

431
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Go watch the fight. Okay. I'm working.

432
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Anyway, what I was going to say was...

433
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:39,720
Why are you here? There's literally been times when we've been looking for like a prop or like a product.

434
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,640
And Elijah will be like, yeah, there was that video like two years ago where you guys used

435
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,440
it and we like go and it's like still there. Like that has actually happened.

436
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:57,160
So his knowledge of our videos is actually unsurpassed or at least that was the theory.

437
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:02,040
Yes. Where does your encyclopedic knowledge begin?

438
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:07,440
I would say Langley House. I watched during NCIX days, but I would say...

439
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:14,000
You were like nine. Yeah, exactly. So I would say that I became kind of a hardcore just watching LTT every day when you guys

440
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,240
were in the Langley House. That was a very based period of time to be watching every day.

441
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:25,360
I remember when you guys passed a million. Everyone agrees that the content was better than and has only been downhill since then.

442
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,360
100%. Whole room water cooling too. Let's do it.

443
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,480
I mean, who even are these like ancillary characters we have now?

444
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:38,680
What the f*** is in Elijah? I remember when in the Langley House, we started scripting videos for the first time and it

445
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,240
was like controversial. We did what? Sorry?

446
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,280
We started scripting videos for the first time. No. Super controversial.

447
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:52,560
You know what sucks about that though? I used to be like so good at ad-libbing and I suck now.

448
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,720
Like I have to do multiple takes of things. I used to have some of that.

449
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,440
That's for losers. Because of hosting live at shows and now I don't have it anymore.

450
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:09,120
Yeah. Dude, it's a thing that you can practice and you can get really, really good at.

451
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,200
Like the whole getting a product briefing on something and being like, okay, shut up.

452
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,920
You turn to the camera and nailing it. And then doing like eight more of them in the same day.

453
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,000
You can practice it. But if you don't practice it, it doesn't matter how good you are.

454
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,120
It doesn't matter how experienced you are. It is not like riding a bike.

455
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,960
Okay? Elijah could do it someday. Maybe I'll ride a bike.

456
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,160
That was a looting to that you don't know how to ride a bike.

457
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,320
That was actually up for debate being the third video on Elijah week.

458
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,200
I had pitched backflip tutorial. Colton had denied that.

459
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,960
Yeah. Why did you even ask Colton? I didn't.

460
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,360
I asked Sammy and I said we should beg for forgiveness instead of ask for permission.

461
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,840
Absolutely not. What if they went to like a gymnastics center?

462
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,840
I don't care. Look he's talked about this publicly already.

463
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,120
So I'm not disclosing personal medical information that he hasn't already put on the internet

464
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,080
for some reason. Elijah has had half a dozen concussions.

465
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:08,400
Which is bad. Literally the last one had to relearn his own birthday.

466
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:18,360
I'm, dude, listen, I'm building. So when I say no f***ing backflips, it is coming from an extremely serious place.

467
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:24,200
And I am saying that is not happening at work or for work or for clout on my watch.

468
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,120
I'm building resistance though. The more concussions you have.

469
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,120
Not how it works. No fake news. That's obviously fake news.

470
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,120
Don't believe that. Please. Please.

471
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,840
Very much the opposite really. So when I'm talking about this and I'm like, no Elijah's not allowed to do backflips.

472
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,840
It's not a meme. I'm not memin. I'm 100% serious.

473
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,840
What? No. But yeah.

474
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,840
I mean, why was Riley allowed to do one in his trailer?

475
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,840
I don't think he-

476
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,760
Elijah. To be fair, I didn't know Sammy recorded that. I didn't know that he was putting it in that video until you saw it.

477
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,640
My dad. My dad had a, he had a thing that he used to say to me. Okay.

478
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:06,280
I'm probably revealing more about my childhood than I ever have before. But he used to say, you're cruisin' for a bruisin'.

479
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,720
What does that mean? Can you show us?

480
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:14,720
I'll let you figure it out. Dan, cover the camera.

481
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:19,720
Oh God. So, uh, no backflips.

482
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:22,720
Oh no. Linus, please don't get the lot on this set.

483
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:26,480
Ow! Ow! Do you know how hard it is to get the lot out of this carpet?

484
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,640
I mean, look, since we're being very honest right now, why don't we just reveal why we

485
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,680
have a wrap sponsor for the show?

486
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,680
Oh yeah. Oh. To cover the table.

487
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Oh. Just in case something gets on it.

488
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000
This would probably make it easier to clean too. I don't know about that, but I'm assuming.

489
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Dbrand's skin's cleaned very easily with a soft cloth.

490
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Oh, that was a man tested.

491
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,920
Man hours tested. Fortunately, fortunately, no one's seeing this because everyone's watching the Jake

492
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,600
Paul versus Mike Tyson fight because otherwise we are so canceled right now.

493
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,960
Well, they'll watch the VOD, so we're screwed either way.

494
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,960
We can delete the VOD. We're good. That's true.

495
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,320
We can do that. No, it goes out. I was actually asked to come on here not only to promote Elijah Week, but apparently

496
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,560
talk about one of the topics. Oh. What topics?

497
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:26,320
Did you want to talk about it? Why'd you pick that one? I have a screenshot from James that says, am I allowed to say the P word?

498
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,720
Like corn? Oh. Am I allowed to say that?

499
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,720
Of course you picked that one. Okay. I'll say corn.

500
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,720
Yeah, because of course he did. No, I didn't. Guys are fucking degenerate.

501
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:41,120
No, no, no, listen, listen, listen, listen. It's literally, he's, he's owned it to the point now where we can't even criticize him

502
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,840
for it anymore. I already forgot about that whole topic, so I was really trying to be like, what one

503
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,920
would you have picked? No, I sent, I sent James a couple and I was like, here's the ones that like I'm fine

504
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,160
and comfortable talking about on, on stream and he said, how about we go with seafood?

505
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,880
He said, pick the corn one that's on, that's on brand for Elijah.

506
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,000
You can say prawn. Okay. We'll go with seafood.

507
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,520
Sure. So this is a very seafood-y topic.

508
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,520
Why don't I do just the talking points and then we'll open it up to discussion.

509
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,680
I'm sure you'll have some thoughts. You're just like reacting? Oh, I, oh, I know about it.

510
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,200
The original article is from the Verge, also CNBC.

511
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:23,960
Basically, this has been reported on Wicked, originally a Broadway musical, by the way,

512
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:29,520
excellent, so good, is getting a theatrical release on November 22nd.

513
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:35,240
Toy company Mattel released a variety of dolls and other toys, which, pun intended,

514
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:38,760
were for purchase in stores and online retailers.

515
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,960
On the packaging was a link to a website, www.

516
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,480
Please don't go there right now, especially not at work or if you're in a family setting.

517
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,840
Well, you know what? I'll just say this, www.thenameoftheshow.com.

518
00:37:53,840 --> 00:38:00,720
I'm just going to not say it, which led to not, not the show.

519
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:04,680
Well, it's a show of sorts. The different show. That seafood show.

520
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,080
Don't link it in chat, Mike. Stop it, you guys.

521
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,080
I've got it on my third monitor. Stop!

522
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:16,440
To be fair, I did fact check this at work, so sorry, Luke.

523
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,440
I was joking. Wait, did you, Ashley? No, of course not.

524
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,440
I'm on psycho. Okay. So the link was...

525
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:27,040
I'm going to check. I will not.

526
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,120
The intended link! Shut up, shut up, shut up.

527
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,200
The intended link was www.wickedmovie.com.

528
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,360
So that one we can check. Okay?

529
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,640
We're going to go... Don't share the screen, just in case. We're going to go to www.wickedmovie.com and hopefully nothing bad will happen.

530
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:50,480
Okay, we're good. All right. Okay, www.wickedmovie.com, November 22nd, everything is okay and we're still live on

531
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,520
Twitch.

532
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:58,560
Mattel has since apologized for this and removed the toys from online storefronts.

533
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,880
Quote, parents are advised that the misprinted incorrect website is not appropriate for children

534
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,080
or Elijah. Sorry, I added the last bit.

535
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,960
However, the removal of the toys didn't stop scalpers from trying to buy what remained

536
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:18,760
on physical shelves, flipping the original misprint for as much as $2,100.

537
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,360
To be fair, I don't know if any sold yet.

538
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,880
Let's open up. Let's open up for discussion here.

539
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,040
Our first discussion question is, do you think this type of thing happens often in media

540
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:40,200
and we just don't hear about it necessarily, e.g. phone numbers, addresses, or other placeholder

541
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,720
info or supposedly fake info?

542
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:48,040
Do you think this happens all the time? I actually put a note in there.

543
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,840
This happened in one of our videos where we had put a placeholder or something.

544
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,600
Is this the encyclopedia knowledge thing or were you a part of it? I was a part of it and it became a big thing after.

545
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,600
What was this? I'm not going to say the exact video because I don't want people to try to go back and find

546
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,400
it or whatever, but there was an address in a video that we had put that was supposed

547
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,920
to be fake. Like a one, two, three, four fake street except fake street is an actual thing.

548
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,520
It ended up being a real place and we didn't realize it until a day later because someone

549
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,920
had left a comment. It was one comment on the video.

550
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,680
No one else had decided to go check this and we did check it, but we must have either

551
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:30,600
misspelled it or got it wrong or something. But then all of a sudden I get a message that said, is this an issue?

552
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,640
And I was like, probably.

553
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:41,200
It was some random address. We got to just use 1600 Pennsylvania, the White House address.

554
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,920
My official address on Netflix is still the White House.

555
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:52,000
Really? I wouldn't be surprised if they mail pamphlet things addressed to me at the White House every

556
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,400
once in a while. And the thing is, I haven't only done that on Netflix.

557
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,000
There's some sites that will automatically block it if they see that, but that's been

558
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,200
on a bunch of sites. So they almost certainly have mail.

559
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaking of the White House, that's another famous example of the importance of top-level

560
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,960
domains. Oh, yeah. Do you not know about this one?

561
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,600
It's WhiteHouse.gov. Yeah. That's the right one.

562
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:23,640
Yeah. Don't go to any other TLD.

563
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,640
Someone linked it. Is it bad? Oh, yeah.

564
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,640
Please remove it. It wasn't. They said it used to be.

565
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Yeah, it used to be. It used to be. You're getting close.

566
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:38,040
Oh, there's a lot of them out there. Well, seafood's very popular.

567
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,800
Most of the internet is seafood. I hear the fourth most visited website is a seafood website.

568
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,160
Is it? It's in the top 10. I know it peaked at four at one point.

569
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,040
That's a little surprising. Probably during COVID. TGA Friday is unlimited shrimp.

570
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,320
And I know in the top 20, there's like three or four. That would be a really interesting dive, actually.

571
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,560
What happened to the internet during COVID? How did people change how they used the internet when they were all stuck at home?

572
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:08,080
There is an amazing graph. We have a whole series. We could call it divers and look into the things that happened on the internet.

573
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:15,000
Seafood divers. Seafood friends. There's an amazing graph for Twitch when COVID happened on Twitch.

574
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,800
It's like, oh, yeah, we're slowly growing. And then April, like just like it doubled.

575
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,800
It was insane. Yeah. But yeah, do you think this happens in any other media, though?

576
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,840
Can you think of any other examples? Absolutely.

577
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,600
I've heard of this type of thing happening before, but I don't have examples off the

578
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:40,480
top of my head. I don't know if this one is true, but apparently there was a tip line that the US military

579
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:47,200
published and it was accidentally like a pay per minute phone line.

580
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:53,760
I have not validated that, but it wouldn't really surprise me that much because a lot

581
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,920
of those high priced like 1-800 like paid numbers were that.

582
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:05,120
So if you were to accidentally typo it, it would be pretty easy for it to be one of those.

583
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,560
Okay. And then going into question two, though, what do you think, how long do people have

584
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,040
to hold onto these domains or phone numbers? Yeah.

585
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:18,720
So that was my discussion question that I put in because in some cases it can be a situation

586
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:22,280
where you publish printed materials.

587
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,960
So whether it's on a package for a product or whether it's on a pamphlet or whether it's

588
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,680
on, who knows, a sticker. Like it doesn't matter.

589
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,120
I come across all the time, whenever we look at anything retro, like games, for example.

590
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,120
The Nintendo helplines. Yeah. They'll have help support lines.

591
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:48,320
They'll have websites. How long is the statute of limitations for having to keep paying for that domain?

592
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,200
I mean, not every website can be freaking space jam.com.

593
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,200
Okay. Space jam. Uh-oh.

594
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,200
Uh-oh. What's going to load? Is this the White House?

595
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,200
No way. You told me to not go to it. You went to it?

596
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,200
No. Yeah. I said not to.

597
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,200
I said I went to .org. Oh. Space jam is.

598
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:13,360
Space jam.com is down. Can we buy it?

599
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:20,880
No way. They tried to redirect me to space jam new legacy, like the new one.

600
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,320
I didn't know that space jam.com was down.

601
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,960
You got to go to space jam.com slash 1996. Oh, that sucks.

602
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,840
It does kind of suck. Because do they do a new movie or something?

603
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,840
Yeah, they did. Yeah. Yeah.

604
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,480
Apparently it was like not very good, but like realistically was the original one really good.

605
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,480
I don't know. Yes. I didn't rewatch it.

606
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,480
Wrong. In my nostalgia glasses, it's good. Don't worry, Luke.

607
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,240
I rewatch it just in case it's actually garbage. Honestly, I don't even know. I don't think I've seen the whole first one.

608
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:53,240
It's great. I've seen bits of it. It hasn't held up in my opinion.

609
00:44:53,240 --> 00:45:00,680
Yeah. All right. So yeah, so how long should they be responsible for continuing to pay the renewal fees for

610
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:05,000
a domain? Would you have to just like pay up front for that whole time or something to like prove

611
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,560
that you're actually going to do it? Because you can buy 100-year domains, right?

612
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:13,760
Like I understand it's expensive and especially if you're getting like, I don't know, x.com

613
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,080
because that's going to cost a million dollars or whatever.

614
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:23,720
But at that point, if you're launching some big product and getting a new domain name

615
00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:27,840
for it, you should buy 100 years. Sure. But why should you have to do that?

616
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,840
We don't. I don't even... Yeah, we don't.

617
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,840
We have... We've had domains like I think... Do we still have...

618
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:40,080
Hold on. Oh yeah, we apparently still have this.

619
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:44,080
When I was doing an eval, I had so many questions about that domain.

620
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:51,040
This is f***ingyourwallet.com, which we included in one of our videos ages ago as...

621
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,040
So many questions. Oh, whoops. Hold on.

622
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,040
Did I? What just happened? Okay.

623
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:03,560
Yeah, there we go. Okay, it's working now. So this was included in one of our videos like a bazillion years ago and it's just a simple

624
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,240
little game where you dodge the expensive products.

625
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:12,720
There's Razer laptops. Hey, why does the money spent go up even if you don't touch the product?

626
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:16,480
I don't know, you're just spending money because... We live in a society. Yeah, f*** your wallet, right?

627
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:22,880
Okay, so it's like rent and... Yeah, so it's Razer laptops, iPhones, and red cameras that just come flying out of nowhere

628
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,600
and you have to try to dodge them. It's genuinely really hard. Oh, it's super hard.

629
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,600
It's easier on a bigger screen. I was gonna say you're also on a trackpad. And I'm on a trackpad.

630
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:36,600
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But some of them come in... Yeah, no, those red cameras come in hot, brother.

631
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,080
They come in real hot.

632
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,760
And I think the red cameras target you so you have to be constantly moving if you want

633
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,760
to dodge. Oh, no, no, no.

634
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:53,280
Oh, god. So this is a question that I legitimately have.

635
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:58,280
How long do I have to keep paying for this stupid domain because we made a video with

636
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,560
this joke in it? These are iPhone 7s or something.

637
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:07,480
This is from like seven years ago. We should make a mirror of lttstore.com where everything's just like 10 times the price

638
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,800
and then just redirect that to it. See if anyone buys anything.

639
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,960
Can we perform both? Well, you can keep avoiding the domain going forward because if someone...

640
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,120
But that would help cover our old domains.

641
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,200
And there's lots of domains that we've bought over the years because we've like, I don't

642
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,200
know, thought... Like, did we buy makeupforbros.com?

643
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,600
I think so. I think we might have bought that at some point because I thought it'd be like a cool channel

644
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:34,080
idea like 12 years ago, like men's makeup tips and stuff because men's makeup was

645
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:40,400
totally becoming a thing. We bought adequate...

646
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,400
Adequate video service? Yeah. We bought adquatevideoservice.com.

647
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,760
I remember some videos where you jokingly said a URL and then at the end of the video,

648
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:53,280
I hear you go, please go buy that right now. And then I went to it and it just redirects to lttstore.

649
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,560
So like every time you crack a joke and I think part of it also though... We've let some of those go over the years.

650
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:02,200
Sure. But I think part of it also though is like, if you do say that or claim it and then people

651
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:05,240
who trust you are trying to go to them, in the case wicked...

652
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:09,040
You don't want it to... Be malicious. You don't want it to go to something else.

653
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,800
You also don't want someone to be able to get it and then set up a site that looks like yours.

654
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,560
Yeah. That's one of the reasons that we've stopped meming on like coming up with domain names

655
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,000
on the show. We used to all the time. Because people would buy them and it became like a thing and they would redirect them

656
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,200
to lttstore or to the forum or whatever. The thing that we would say that it did that.

657
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,520
Yeah. And then conceivably, I don't think anyone ever did this.

658
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:36,280
Not that I'm aware of, but conceivably, after we talk about it, they could...

659
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,800
I know of a singular bad example. You do. Okay.

660
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,920
So they could take that domain and they could use it to harvest data.

661
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,200
They could redirect it to somewhere malicious.

662
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,280
And we would be...

663
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:56,360
We would feel bad about it. Whether we're responsible for that or not, I don't know, I'm not a lawyer and you're

664
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:08,440
not a cop. So who knows, but I'd feel hurt in my feelingsies, so we don't do that anymore.

665
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:16,440
Someone just said, adequatevideoservice.com should redirect to fullpoint.

666
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:21,240
It does. That one we own, so it's fine.

667
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:25,440
I don't think we're going to get rid of that one because I keep telling Luke that I've

668
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:30,480
wanted it for years to be something that if people dug deep enough into Float Plains

669
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,320
sort of workings, they could find it. Does it actually run any services right now?

670
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,560
I don't remember this. I think at one point, we thought about it. I don't remember if we actually did it or not.

671
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,360
Okay, I still want it to. That's Float Plain, adequatevideoservice.

672
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,960
That's a whole joke, but it checks out.

673
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,960
Oh, cool. Okay. Is this you wanting to leave?

674
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,960
I don't know if I'm supposed to... This is... I feel like I'm like Elijah's dad.

675
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,680
He's trying to get off the phone. I don't want to overstay my welcome. I'll stay here all day if you guys need me to.

676
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,200
I just don't want to overstay my welcome. Sounds good.

677
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:07,640
I had to change because of him. We were in the exact same clothes.

678
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,640
Oh. Oh, wow. Really?

679
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,140
You got a red sweater? And we both had the cargo pants. Oh, wow.

680
00:50:14,140 --> 00:50:17,960
What sweater are you wearing? The... Oh.

681
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,960
I actually don't know the name. Really? I just got given to me.

682
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,960
Okay. What do you want, Elijah? It's like a...

683
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,960
What's on the front of it? A plant. A tree.

684
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,960
Okay. And what's it made of?

685
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,960
Wires. Okay. Try again.

686
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,960
Try again. Cables. Try again.

687
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,960
Both technically correct. Thanks, Dan. It starts with a C.

688
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,960
Cables. It starts with a C-I.

689
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,960
It starts with a K. It does not.

690
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,960
Circuit. There you go. So it's a what?

691
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,960
Yeah. It's a tree that's made of circuits.

692
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,960
Okay. Try it in the other order. It's a circuit that's made to look like a tree.

693
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,960
Okay. Now shorten it. It's a circuit that looks like a tree.

694
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Reduce more. Circuit tree.

695
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,960
That's so good. It's good.

696
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,960
So yeah, we were accidental twins today.

697
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,960
We even are both wearing black shoes with white soles.

698
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,960
Oh, yeah. I can't get my leg that high. Yeah, which is why I don't let him do backflips.

699
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,960
Oh my God. I can do a backflip.

700
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,960
I believe you. I don't wish for you to show me.

701
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,960
No, I don't want you to show me. Okay. That's on the under table camera.

702
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,960
Thanks a lot. Okay, bye. Bye.

703
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,960
It was a pleasure. Where do I put this? Just on the ground.

704
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,960
Floor. Matt Mann says OMG Elijah. I wanted to believe he was being deliberately obtuse.

705
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,960
I don't know. Sometimes the brain just doesn't do stuff.

706
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,960
Muted? Who's muted? You were muted, but now you're not.

707
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,960
He's acute. Aw. Aw.

708
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,960
Okay, get out of here. I'm reporting that to you. Go watch your fight.

709
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,960
I'm reporting that to you. Oh, no.

710
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:03,960
Small angle. All right. Want a 1v1 me?

711
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,960
Check your wallet.com. Oh, wow.

712
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,960
Dan, do you want to set a timer? Yeah, sure.

713
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,960
I wonder if I still... I feel like this is going to be really hard on trackpad.

714
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,960
I wonder if I still have that timer for the wheel of paint.

715
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,960
Okay, no, hold on. We'll have to start at the same time. But yeah, you can warm up.

716
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,960
Get warmed up. Get warmed up. Can I do this as an overlay?

717
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,960
Okay, we're doing this thing. Oh, no. Oh, no.

718
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,960
It starts to go up the rails so fast. Oh. Okay, one minute timer.

719
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,960
Oh, dude. He's got it. Look at it.

720
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,960
Look at it go. Is that a one minute timer? It's a two minute timer.

721
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,960
Something. Okay. You could just time it on your phone.

722
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,960
Are you ready? Okay, so we'll press F5 to start. Yeah.

723
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,960
Can you show our screens? Do you have that power? Of course.

724
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,960
Tough. What camera are you on right now?

725
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,960
You could also just switch between us. And then we go layers.

726
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,960
There we go. Dude, if you just stand in one spot, you spend a lot of money.

727
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,960
Yeah. The reds, man. The reds.

728
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,960
The reds are pretty, they're pretty brutal. They, they're going to get you.

729
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,960
Those reds, they add up real fast.

730
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,960
Okay. That looks good enough to me.

731
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,960
It's so hard on the trackpad. Oh.

732
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,960
This guy, he's such a sweaty gamer, but he has to wipe his hands off before he plays.

733
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,960
Yeah. Literal sweaty gamers.

734
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,960
Yeah. All right. Let's do this thing.

735
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,960
I hadn't, I hadn't thought about this site in so long.

736
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,960
What's hosting it? I don't know.

737
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:37,960
I mean, you tell me. I think this is like way pre the infer team.

738
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,960
It's probably on like some Jake thing. You think so?

739
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,960
Probably. Well, that actually kind of makes sense.

740
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,960
That's hilarious. Well, who even made this game? I have no idea.

741
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,960
I don't remember anymore. I don't think it was my group.

742
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:56,960
Are you sure? I immediately started questioning that in my head when it came up on screen, but I don't.

743
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:01,960
I actually, I actually don't remember this was so long ago.

744
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,960
Some Jake thing. Ouch. That's not an Ouch.

745
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,960
Yeah. He just has a lot of different things. I can't really like define it.

746
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,960
Yeah. Who can keep track of it? Okay.

747
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,960
Dan, that's, that's good enough. I'm on your phone. It's fine.

748
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,960
No, you just have to call it and then it counts down. Oh, brilliant. It's a countdown.

749
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,960
Okay. That's what you wanted, right? Yeah.

750
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,960
Brilliant. Okay. Ready?

751
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,960
Yeah. Yeah. Three, two, one, F5.

752
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,960
Here we go. Here we go. Here.

753
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,960
Oh God. Oh God. I got hit by two reds already, dude.

754
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:37,960
I am like done. I don't think I can, I will never financially recover from this.

755
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,960
You can't, you can't hang out at the edges. You can't, oh, I got hit by another red.

756
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,960
I'm dodging. I'm dipping. I'm weaving.

757
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,960
I'm trying. I'm making, oh no.

758
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:56,960
Oh my God. Look guys, this is way, way harder than, oh shoot.

759
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,960
It's way harder than it looks. I think I was doing better before I was competing.

760
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,960
No, no. Okay. Hold on.

761
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,960
20 seconds. Oh crap. That's so long.

762
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,960
No. Okay. You're crushing me.

763
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,960
Oh my God. Two more iPhones. 10 seconds.

764
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,960
Two more iPhones. Another razor blade. Oh, oh, oh my goodness.

765
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,960
I had three. Five, four, three. Three red cameras come for me.

766
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:24,960
Two, one. Oh. And the winners look.

767
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,960
$300,000 spent to Linus's 930,000.

768
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,960
I got hit by so many red cameras.

769
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,960
All right. You can get rid of that.

770
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,960
That's going to take like half an hour, sorry. GG.

771
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,960
Oh yeah. That makes sense. Okay.

772
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,960
I'm going to just, yeah, cool. There we go.

773
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,960
Now I can close that. What are we supposed to be talking about?

774
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,960
Let's talk about announcements. What even is this show? I can't even tell anymore.

775
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,960
It doesn't matter, does it? It was less than 50K for so long.

776
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,960
Yeah. I was killing it for a while and then I started getting smacked.

777
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,960
Those red cameras, dude, they come out of nowhere. Those are so brutal.

778
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,960
They're so fast and they crank your score up so much.

779
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,960
Anyways. GG. GG, brother.

780
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,960
GG indeed. Yeah. We're doing announcements.

781
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,960
Yeah. Let's do it. Did you just call them merch messages?

782
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,960
Oh, we're doing merch messages. We're doing merch messages.

783
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,960
All right. Okay. Explain merch messages.

784
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,960
Here's a question before we do that. Do we get a new name for it?

785
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,960
What? I'm not even part of that team.

786
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,960
I'm kind of tired of it being called merch.

787
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,960
That makes sense. What do you call bonus bin items?

788
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,960
Oh yeah. What do you guys call the bonus bin items again?

789
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,960
That's an internal name. We don't need to talk about that. No.

790
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,960
It's something totally stupid. I want the merch messages named like that.

791
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,960
The free item upsell or something. Free upsell. It's the fuss.

792
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,960
The free upsell shelf. That's an internal name. Okay.

793
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,960
I want merch messages to sound like that.

794
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,960
Oh man. Yeah. Okay.

795
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,960
So what are other competing products? Free upsell message.

796
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,960
You've got super chats. That's what YouTube calls them. You've got Twitch bits or cheers.

797
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,960
They've got like a billion different ways you can throw money at the stream on Twitch.

798
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,960
Additional live order comment.

799
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,960
What is that? ALOC. ALOC.

800
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,960
See? Yeah. That's really not rolling off the tongue, Dan.

801
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,960
Yeah. That was the point. Money talks.

802
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,960
Money talks. Money talks. Yeah.

803
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,960
It's not bad. Super bits.

804
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,960
Parasocial message. Parasocial message is pretty funny.

805
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,960
Super bits. It's pretty funny. Send me a PM.

806
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,960
Which one of you is going to sue us? We took half of both of you.

807
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,960
Okay. Totally changing the subject.

808
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,960
Why did we stop calling them PMs?

809
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,960
Why are they DMs? Because they aren't always direct one to one,

810
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,960
but they're always private.

811
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,960
What the fuck? I don't understand it.

812
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:59,960
Group chats. I'm a boomer. I still call them PMs pretty often.

813
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,960
No. You're converted. No.

814
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,960
I was just thinking about it too much. PMs pretty often. I think sometimes it also...

815
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,960
Look and mute it again. I need to fix something. What's going on?

816
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,960
I don't know. Okay. Well, whatever.

817
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,960
It matters on the context. Like NVIDIA games, I still call them whispers.

818
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,960
Right. Cool.

819
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,960
Apparently it's fixed now. But like, I bet you if I was on Twitter,

820
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,960
I would call it a DM because everyone calls it DMs on Twitter.

821
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:31,960
Yeah. And you'd never say like slide into your PMs.

822
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,960
That's a little weird. Yeah. It sounds like slide into your night,

823
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,960
which I mean realistically is probably a similar intent.

824
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,960
Might be the same deal. Yeah. But like I feel like if you're on the forum,

825
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,960
you call it private messages. PM.

826
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,960
Yeah. If you're on Twitter, you call it DMs. Well, that's stupid.

827
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,960
If you're in a video game, you call it whispers. Functionally, they're all the same thing. Pretty much.

828
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,960
Anyway. Except whispers.

829
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,960
Handy daily deliverables, HDD.

830
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,960
The acronym is good, but so handy. Yeah.

831
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,960
The alliteration of merge messages is really good.

832
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,960
I mean, okay, would it satisfy you if we just changed it to merchandise messages?

833
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,960
Like I, because merch is just short for merchandise.

834
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:15,960
How about purge messages? I'm tired of the like purge messages.

835
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,960
Yeah, like purchase. Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.

836
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,960
So affordable. Now there are other PMs. Purse.

837
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,960
T-E-R-C-H. Yeah. Send us a PM, a purge message.

838
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,960
I don't know. I am forever calling them additional live purchase comments.

839
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,960
I keep reading threads where someone's like, oh, I like, I bought the screwdriver and it's like the best screwdriver

840
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,960
I've ever used and I'm totally converted. So surprised considering it's YouTuber merch.

841
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,960
And I'm just like, ah. Yeah.

842
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,960
I know. It's painful because that's for a lot of people,

843
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,960
the foot that we have in the door. Yes.

844
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,960
To get them to try it. I am.

845
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,960
Instead of it just being a good product. Yeah.

846
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,960
they'll say in the same grouping of texts,

847
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,960
they'll say like, this is the best one ever

848
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:11,960
and it's good for being a merch product. And those things sound so different.

849
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,960
They're separate. They are really very different things.

850
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,960
I don't know. I bet it wouldn't even take me that long to find,

851
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,960
to find a comment like that. Like that.

852
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:27,960
Yeah. They're all over the place. Because I don't necessarily think that people understand

853
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,960
what the takeaway from that is for like us.

854
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,960
You know what I mean? I don't know. I think I'm just kind of over it at this point.

855
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,960
I mean, I know I'm not like I get it,

856
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,960
but I also just swag chats.

857
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,960
Swag is worse in this context. Oh yeah.

858
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,960
Swag stuff we all get means just like garbage Ali express

859
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,960
stuff that is rebranded. It's a lot worse.

860
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,960
We can leave it. It's just, I don't know.

861
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:01,960
I just I want creator warehouse to be able to break out of the

862
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,960
the bubble that they get put in with a lot of other creator

863
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:11,960
merch. Well, what's really frustrating for me is that if they don't

864
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,960
belong there, if more people used creator warehouse,

865
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,960
then more merch would be merchandise instead of being

866
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:20,960
merch.

867
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,960
But I mean, realistically, I say that we have to open the

868
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,960
doors. We don't really have the capacity to take on other

869
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,960
creators anyway. Like we still have. We still have a lot to learn.

870
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,960
Some of them want it. I know. Real bad.

871
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,960
I know poor Luke. Every time he tries to pitch Floatplane to a creator,

872
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,960
they're like, okay, neat. But by the way, what about that other thing you guys do?

873
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:49,960
Yeah. Can I get in on that? And it's like, um, I think that the, and I also just, I think

874
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,960
the creator warehouse model is inherently incompatible with a

875
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,960
lot of creators because it's not merch.

876
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:00,960
I don't know if I had this conversation with you, but the most recent one that we had that conversation with, which

877
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,960
they, they're theoretically joining full plane as well, but they are also having this conversation.

878
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,960
I, I tried to like talk them down actively this time.

879
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:13,960
I was like, I wonder what that will be. So I started going over like all the, the, I don't know if I

880
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,960
want to say downsides, all the difficulties of doing it the

881
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:21,960
way that we do. Yeah. Where you have to like hold inventory and pay for things

882
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,960
upfront with no net terms and like all, it's a hyper risky.

883
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,960
Oh no. I totally understand. Want to do it that way.

884
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,960
Sounds good. No problem. And throughout a number of like, yeah, I expect like getting

885
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,960
inventory for this stuff would like cost about this amount. And I was like, wow, yep.

886
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,960
That sounds probably about accurate, including like R and D

887
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,960
involved and everything else. It's like, okay.

888
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:49,960
This is a, I think a really positive example of a similar

889
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,960
thing. I've been looking for a screwdriver like this one for

890
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,960
years. I don't care about this being a YouTuber product.

891
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,960
It's something special. Do yourself a favor and pick up one or two.

892
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,960
Yeah. Like I don't, I don't mind it in that context.

893
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,960
I do agree. Yeah. But there's absolutely ones like you said.

894
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,960
Usually like that. I think. That's okay.

895
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,960
That's okay. I mean, yeah. I, with how long?

896
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,960
Shop talk. Shop talk? Oh.

897
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,960
Shop talk. No.

898
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:20,960
That has a super negative connotation. I think so.

899
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:26,960
It's sound, the flow is good. And as much as like, you know, I never shy away from an

900
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,960
innuendo, like our verified actual gamer program, your

901
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,960
brand from like saying, saying, yeah.

902
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,960
You have to, you have to say the full name verified

903
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,960
actual gamer program. Shop talk. Shop talk.

904
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,960
Yeah. Well, it's like locker room talk. Like.

905
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,960
Oh. Yeah. Like it, the, the like.

906
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,960
Is that a bad thing? Just the boys, you know, kind of.

907
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,960
Yeah. I think it, I think it has a pretty, I think it has kind of

908
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,960
a toxic connotation personally. I'm probably just disconnected from this. I don't know.

909
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,960
Yeah. I've never heard of it. Just go dumb with it and call them pee pee poo poos.

910
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:06,960
I mean, honestly. Purchase PMs, you know, PPs.

911
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,960
All right. I got a big pee pee here from, you know, maybe not.

912
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,960
Purchase merch.

913
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,960
No, it can't say merch. Oh, right.

914
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,960
Right. Right. Right.

915
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,960
Right. Right. Additional live purchase comment.

916
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,960
We're not doing that, Dan.

917
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:32,960
I'm so down replacing all the coffee with pee pee poo poos now.

918
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:37,960
Why is my dashboard changing?

919
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,960
The reply button just says poop.

920
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,960
Man, I love, I love no JS.

921
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,960
Okay. Reply and then you, you pee it for us to reply.

922
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:52,960
I see here. Show it. I see here, people here saying, uh, talking shop means

923
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,960
something else entirely. Yeah. I'm em, like, where 89.

924
01:04:55,960 --> 01:05:02,960
That's totally fine. That's totally fine. I mean, other than that, people, like, often don't like it because

925
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,960
you're supposed to be in a social context and you're talking

926
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,960
shop. Like, that's, that's usually the context that I hear that in.

927
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,960
Can we not talk shop right now? Like talking about the city side of it.

928
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,960
Yeah. Yeah. That's talking shop.

929
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,960
Which never bothers me. But, um, yeah, I know, don't like their jobs.

930
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:26,200
Luke, it's, my job is my whole life. So I literally that's why it doesn't bother. I don't really turn off

931
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:31,440
So have other things to talk to people about and realistically because of my job

932
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:38,440
It's usually what people want to talk to me about anyway. So what is the point of me even like do people want to hear about my cats?

933
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:42,560
I mean some do but like tone down the parasocial relationship

934
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,400
I like a lot of people ask about my birds too. Yeah, yeah, that's true

935
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,920
And I don't actually have a problem with that. I like talking about my cats

936
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,400
But I just mean usually when I run into someone at a social function, they're like, okay

937
01:05:54,400 --> 01:06:00,400
Who's dad or you like, you know, which which sniveling, you know, snot-nosed crying creature, you know

938
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:05,560
belongs to you know came out of or or into, you know, your various

939
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,820
Guy or lady parts, right? Like it's it's basically which critters yours essentially

940
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:17,280
and and then they're like, okay. Yeah, so like what do you do and I'm like, oh, I I

941
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:24,300
Usually I try to not I try to say it. I work in media or I take I make videos

942
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:34,560
Yeah, okay, that's more true for you than it is for me I try to give a true answer that doesn't sort of I make them pry on paper only sort of oh, what do you mean?

943
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:40,120
Then I'll be like, oh, okay. I make YouTube videos and then I'm pretty sure you're still actually a CEO

944
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:46,480
Yeah, technically I Might technically still be more than one CEO. I'm not sure

945
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:52,960
Because don't don't forget about all the companies that like are not like the normal companies

946
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:57,160
Okay, but you're a CEO of a company that has employees. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah

947
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,040
Yeah, I'm technically still the CEO of Floatplane, but that is such horse shit

948
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:05,440
So I remember when you told me one day that it was gonna be me and I was like, yeah, sure

949
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,040
I mean look if you want the promotion go talk to my boss

950
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:18,160
No, it's fine. I don't really care. I just do all the things pretty much

951
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,320
Pretty much Call them product placements

952
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:32,240
Hmm, that's kind of interesting because they buy a product they place their message product placements. Yeah, that's not bad

953
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:36,760
I always like alliteration Yeah

954
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:42,360
Is super on brand I think I was talking to somebody else about that today because I'm deploying this thing

955
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:50,120
But it's for production and it's going into production So it's the production production and then we have LTX expo, which is the Linus tech expo expo

956
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:55,200
And we have whale land we hosted a land event land event. Yeah, the whale land event. It's pretty good, too, right?

957
01:07:55,360 --> 01:08:01,480
So this one's pretty good to RAM. Yeah, random audience message. That's the one I just reacted to that's not bad

958
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:06,560
That's pretty good. I kind of like that one. You can say rammy dad and then and then we could stop letting we could stop

959
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,280
All right, I think that's enough show for me for today

960
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,000
It's been a really nice

961
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:24,240
Had a great week After he says that I've enjoyed go off camera to where he is also off camera

962
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,240
Subscribe now for only 1599 per month

963
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,080
When are we starting when are we starting only planes calm it?

964
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,480
Not today because we have to ban people making those links

965
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:47,200
I'm not blushing. I think we do only planes. I don't remember. I'm pretty sure we own only

966
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,660
We probably did but don't go check. Yeah, don't check. Oh

967
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,120
My goodness

968
01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:03,320
Just blurred it out. It was so bad. Yeah, I didn't have time for my brain to think about that

969
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:09,080
Sorry, that's sometimes a lot of the best. I'll calm down soon. Yeah, okay get through some peepies

970
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,440
We apparently do not own only planes. So okay

971
01:09:12,440 --> 01:09:16,720
I think that was because we decided we were gonna call it something else. Oh, yeah, that's right

972
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:22,160
Because it's kind of a terrible name. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it makes absolutely no sense. Not at all. Yeah

973
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,880
What are we supposed to be talking about right now? You're supposed to explain

974
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:33,600
Right, yeah, and then we read what? Merch messages are the way to interact with the show

975
01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:39,240
Actually, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna call them product purchases or product product check out chat

976
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,360
I like check out chats a lot. Oh, check out

977
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:52,400
And Conrad coined it. I'm sold It's almost like having, you know, people who you pay and who are smart and who let me do things for a living

978
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,560
Highly technically confident is better than just listening to your audience. He also named it fuzz

979
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:04,360
That's a good name. Shut up free up self-shelf. Yeah, that's not as good. I mean, but I mean, that's that's an internal name

980
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:14,120
Yeah, you only Endless defender of internal names being basically whatever you want as long as you can differentiate between what the things are and fuss has

981
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:20,560
Always been very clear on for our team. So it's been fine. It's not clear. It's gonna stay far. So dumb

982
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,320
It's never okay. Check out chats. Okay. Check out chats

983
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,920
So if you want to send a check out chat, all you've got to do is

984
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:32,320
Go to LTT Store comm so instead of doing super chats or

985
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:38,080
Twitch bits or anything like that where you throw money at your screen you get nothing in return. We have checkout chats

986
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:42,480
So you go to LTT Store comm add something to your cart. Oh cart chats, maybe I don't know

987
01:10:42,480 --> 01:10:45,600
And the point is it's in the cart not the checkout, which is part of the checkout

988
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:53,040
Doesn't matter the point is the checkout process when we're live There'll be a box in the cart you fill that out and it'll go to

989
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:59,600
Producer Dan, I still like check out chats better It'll go to producer Dan who will pop it down there

990
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:06,240
Like if you have a shout out for your mom or you know, your brother or whatever if it's your birthday something cool like that

991
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:14,400
Dan will forward it to someone internal who can answer your questions Sometimes Dan will answer questions himself and other times he will curate your check out chats

992
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:20,880
Wandsworths It's not always Wancho

993
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:28,280
Sometimes he will curate your check out chats and he will give them to us so that I can say RAM me Dan and

994
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:35,120
And he will I

995
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:40,040
People are saying that we should we should keep the out in the acronym

996
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,640
Check out chats. Mmm. Okay

997
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:51,080
Why oh stop? I'm saying people are saying that I'm not I'm not I'm not saying that myself

998
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:56,760
The the some of the the people have been saying that and then if we have like a checkout chat counter

999
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,520
Then we could spell it with a K. Yes, like is that is that really where you go?

1000
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:07,000
I'm not me. Should I just not me should I just stop leaving any ambiguity here? We're gonna call them

1001
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,920
Dan me

1002
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:18,400
I've had a lot of practice over the last year, so yeah

1003
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:25,440
All right, I've got an additional live purchase comment also known as a checkout chat also known as a merch message here from Thomas

1004
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:30,280
Sorry, no, not from Thomas somebody else. Hello, Dan and the photon reflectors

1005
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:37,680
I used your AI support bot last week was that in response to this secret shopper video or in the works longer kudos for

1006
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,680
Including I need a person escape hatch

1007
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:45,760
That's a that's a dashboard thing from them, but I think it was in the works for a lot longer. I had heard about it

1008
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:52,120
Yeah, way long time ago. Basically, I think if you go back to the WAN Show where chat GPT

1009
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:58,600
Like went public beta or whatever I think we probably talked about like

1010
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:04,920
Support chat bots being becoming way better and we probably like talked about it on that show or shortly after that

1011
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,000
Yeah, I think they had been kind of riffing on the idea for a while

1012
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,640
I'm 99% sure and that's that's just the creative warehouse team working with

1013
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,040
Their their customer support tool provider. Yeah

1014
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:20,240
Yeah And how about it?

1015
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:28,360
What are there really that? Dan are there really? No, I just have a backlog today. Okay. There's still like 30 an income. He's been busy ramming

1016
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,440
There's been a lot of interruptions, but I got some more here

1017
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:43,760
Do you want another one? Yeah, okay. I mean, I don't know. Hey Wanda DLL. Is it likely that the commuter back not too tired?

1018
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:53,080
No, no, I I can go all night. Just get some water. I'm used to doing this for six hours, you know, this is easy

1019
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:03,480
Hey, hey, wait

1020
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,480
Hey, why not DLL is it likely that the commuter back pack will launch before?

1021
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:13,000
Christmas likely I hardly know her

1022
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,280
That doesn't matter

1023
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:32,200
I think the hope is to launch it before the end of the year

1024
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:36,440
But I think the odds of you getting one before Christmas are basically zero

1025
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:42,440
That's that's what I'll that's what I'll say with confidence launch a little bit too late for shipping to be able to line up

1026
01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:45,640
I think so it might even be launching after Christmas

1027
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:52,240
No, it's dude. Do you have any idea how long production and shipping takes? I don't care. I just want it

1028
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:55,880
I know I don't think I don't think that way. This is the whole on it

1029
01:14:56,240 --> 01:15:04,320
Look, this is the whole thing where our model like doesn't work for creator merch because we're just if something goes out of stock

1030
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,360
If we gap out on something we're out of it for like four months

1031
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:13,640
We don't we're not just buying fruit of the loom t-shirts from some local distribution warehouse like we we make stuff

1032
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:18,720
the worst part of this is that I I was like I feel like I have a dealer and

1033
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,040
Now I'm in like forms of withdrawal

1034
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:29,720
Because now I only have two shirts first hit was free and now I put on any other shirt at all

1035
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,460
And I'm just like wow. This is notably inadequate

1036
01:15:33,460 --> 01:15:39,060
Where is my proper shirt, but then doing laundry like literally every day because I only have one short sleeve

1037
01:15:39,060 --> 01:15:45,500
I don't want to wear long sleeves every other day. So doing laundry literally every day for a shirt gets a little nuts

1038
01:15:46,540 --> 01:15:52,220
By the way before any of you try to solve his problem. Oh and send him a shirt. I

1039
01:15:54,660 --> 01:16:02,220
Thank you so much for the thought I appreciate the gesture the person who was very kind who bought some of our tall shirts

1040
01:16:03,260 --> 01:16:09,460
Packaged them back up from overseas and sent them back to Luke overseas shipping and everything

1041
01:16:10,100 --> 01:16:18,100
Unfortunately, they were not Luke size and also you don't have to do that. He gets as much merch as he wants. Yeah, it's fine

1042
01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:21,840
Did you send them back? I haven't yet, but I will be okay. Yeah

1043
01:16:22,700 --> 01:16:28,540
Super nice thought, but don't do that. He's he's just whining. I appreciate the concern

1044
01:16:28,540 --> 01:16:33,420
He doesn't actually want anyone to solve his problem I have a type

1045
01:16:37,300 --> 01:16:42,820
I'm trying to hype the shirts up because I want them to keep doing well because I have a personal vested interest in

1046
01:16:42,820 --> 01:16:48,700
The tall shirts doing well because if the tall shirts doing well, there's a higher chance that we'll do more colors

1047
01:16:50,780 --> 01:16:54,580
So like I want to keep kind of reminding people that they exist and they're awesome

1048
01:16:54,580 --> 01:16:57,900
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's good for me. Yeah, we're on it. We're on it

1049
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:02,340
And I think genuinely a lot of people that don't really fit in normal shirts very well

1050
01:17:02,340 --> 01:17:09,540
Don't even necessarily know that there's like an alternative. Yeah, it's like having their belly poke out every time they lift up their arms

1051
01:17:09,540 --> 01:17:16,380
Honestly, yeah, so yeah, um, all right, should we announce man? Yeah, should we do announcements finally?

1052
01:17:17,140 --> 01:17:21,220
Yeah, let's do that announcing Black Friday Cyber Monday 9,000

1053
01:17:21,460 --> 01:17:24,820
It's our big freakin Black Friday and Cyber Monday event

1054
01:17:24,820 --> 01:17:30,220
Not only are we gonna have some big freakin deals on some of our most popular products that are gonna be happening all week

1055
01:17:30,220 --> 01:17:36,380
I heard that LTT Store is working with some of our partners to deliver some big

1056
01:17:36,660 --> 01:17:42,260
Freakin bundles that will include some really cool tech. Okay. I found out about one of these bundles

1057
01:17:42,620 --> 01:17:46,940
literally on set earlier as I was doing the read for it and I

1058
01:17:47,420 --> 01:17:54,620
Kid you not. I didn't fake this I'm not that good of an actor. I was like, is that right?

1059
01:17:55,420 --> 01:17:59,740
because it is an absolutely

1060
01:17:59,740 --> 01:18:05,980
Smoking deal that I had a colleague. I had a colleague back at NCIX that used to refer

1061
01:18:06,100 --> 01:18:11,060
Refer to deals of this magnitude is hot It is a shit hot deal. I

1062
01:18:12,300 --> 01:18:16,420
That brought back weird memories. I feel like I heard this phrase. Anyway, I don't know who was

01:21:06,060 --> 01:21:11,180
All right, that's me. Oh, is it obvious from this thumbnail that the uh, your car looks the car's being towed away

1094
01:21:11,660 --> 01:21:16,300
No, and your car looks dirty Um, is your window open?

1095
01:21:16,700 --> 01:21:21,020
Yes, the window is open. Did they really in the rain? Did they really when they did the toe?

1096
01:21:21,020 --> 01:21:24,380
I wasn't there for the towing stuff. Did they did they really the window open in the rain

1097
01:21:24,620 --> 01:21:28,540
Uh, okay. Hmm. We uh, oh shoot. Okay. Um

1098
01:21:30,940 --> 01:21:33,580
Anyway, uh, okay. Anyway, it's um

1099
01:21:34,940 --> 01:21:41,660
Yeah, it's uh, it's a me and me and Dan video and Dan talks about the cool pa system that uh

1100
01:21:42,780 --> 01:21:46,700
That we implemented in in the land center slash badminton center

1101
01:21:46,700 --> 01:21:49,740
And it's going to be really useful for both lands and badminton

1102
01:21:50,140 --> 01:21:54,780
So i'm pretty pretty excited and it's it's it's cooler tech than it sounds like

1103
01:21:55,660 --> 01:21:59,900
All right, is this movie magic? You didn't even see it happen. You didn't see it get towed

1104
01:22:00,060 --> 01:22:02,620
I did see it get towed, but not when I was filming that shot. Oh

1105
01:22:03,260 --> 01:22:10,060
Yeah Because that would have been like Kind of a hassle because it was like out on the street and the audio is terrible and stuff. Yeah, that's the whole thing

1106
01:22:10,540 --> 01:22:12,860
Uh, but yeah, no, I was I was there when they told it. It's pretty funny

1107
01:22:14,220 --> 01:22:16,780
Sorry, sorry. I was there. I saw the tow truck pull in

1108
01:22:17,340 --> 01:22:22,700
But then I was like having a meeting or something they not actually like take it. They just like moved it for a shot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

1109
01:22:24,380 --> 01:22:28,060
Um Okay, look it's a Dan

1110
01:22:28,300 --> 01:22:31,020
Remember that one time when you had to undo all of the audio stuff

1111
01:22:32,780 --> 01:22:37,340
And then redo it again and then undo it and then redo it again. Was that fun Dan? Where on earth was that?

1112
01:22:38,140 --> 01:22:44,140
Oh, that was like the first one week the first one we did last week. No for the all hands

1113
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:49,180
Oh god I've blocked that out

1114
01:22:49,580 --> 01:22:53,580
That was so stressful You did an inside out too and just like boop

1115
01:22:54,140 --> 01:22:56,140
Just throw that into the void

1116
01:22:57,420 --> 01:23:00,060
No, that was brutal. Um, but it worked I guess

1117
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:07,820
someone said, uh Scheister's a bad word just fyi. Is it? I'm not aware of it. Someone else posted the definition

1118
01:23:07,820 --> 01:23:11,100
It's considered a negative slang term that can be offensive and derogatory

1119
01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:16,700
But used to describe someone who's unethical dishonest or unscrupulous, especially in the practice of law politics or economics

1120
01:23:17,500 --> 01:23:21,500
For example, you might call a used car salesperson a scheister if they tell you a car is one price

1121
01:23:21,500 --> 01:23:27,660
But the fine print reveals a higher price like I'm not aware that it has any kind of like like racial or gender or like whatever

1122
01:23:28,140 --> 01:23:34,300
Um connotation so I was know that it does. Yeah, I don't I don't think so. I'm not that not that I'm aware of

1123
01:23:34,300 --> 01:23:37,740
I mean, there's always new There's always new words that

1124
01:23:38,060 --> 01:23:43,420
You know, I'm finding out for the first time have some kind of connotation like I had no idea that

1125
01:23:43,900 --> 01:23:49,740
You know the function like someone said it's anti-semite, but there's there's a there's a link on law.com

1126
01:23:50,220 --> 01:23:55,020
That I mean currently goes to a 404 page, but it says it's not. Yeah, it's not a 404 page anymore

1127
01:23:55,340 --> 01:23:57,340
I'm not I'm not aware of that

1128
01:23:58,540 --> 01:24:04,620
Being that so if it is I had no idea. I mean dude, there's there's at a certain point like

1129
01:24:04,860 --> 01:24:08,140
There's all kinds of stuff that I just I just like don't know like I okay

1130
01:24:08,140 --> 01:24:11,020
You know the the the main selling point of our screwdriver

1131
01:24:11,820 --> 01:24:17,580
I had no idea that that in the context of something that's like shoddily done

1132
01:24:18,300 --> 01:24:26,140
Had like a like a super can I say it? Maybe just don't but I had no idea that it had this like super racial undertones in certain contexts. Yeah

1133
01:24:26,780 --> 01:24:31,740
So I knew it. Yeah, okay We used that word here to describe

1134
01:24:32,300 --> 01:24:37,260
Like something that's kind of shoddy like shanty town and are like cobbled together

1135
01:24:39,580 --> 01:24:44,140
And then we we used it in a video at some point to describe something alex made

1136
01:24:45,260 --> 01:24:47,260
You know and people were like

1137
01:24:48,540 --> 01:24:53,180
Like really upset about No idea. It's so I don't know

1138
01:24:54,460 --> 01:25:00,300
I don't think I'm just getting old. Maybe it's a combination. Okay. I'll I'll concede that it might be a combination

1139
01:25:00,620 --> 01:25:04,860
But things just actually move too fast these days and there's too many words and too many things to keep track of

1140
01:25:05,260 --> 01:25:12,860
It's like actually difficult It is it is legitimately difficult. I I know at a certain point you gotta just I try my best. Yeah

1141
01:25:13,260 --> 01:25:17,980
Um, you gotta understand that not everyone's gonna know the like weird secret alternative hidden

1142
01:25:19,180 --> 01:25:26,700
Meaning of every single weird random word like I don't know some there's there's you gotta understand intention behind certain things, you know

1143
01:25:27,660 --> 01:25:32,540
I don't know. I think you're asking a lot. I think so, but it still like needs to and I'm asking a lot

1144
01:25:33,180 --> 01:25:36,700

On topics. I don't know. You certainly aren't talking about mine. I'll tell you that much

1178
01:28:33,500 --> 01:28:35,500
Oh

1179
01:28:37,180 --> 01:28:39,180
My god

1180
01:28:42,860 --> 01:28:48,620
More topics Sure, uh, yeah, let's get us out of here at the sony employees talking about that one sure

1181
01:28:48,940 --> 01:28:51,820
Sony employees allegedly selling personal data of users

1182
01:28:52,860 --> 01:28:58,380
In a recent 23 minute instagram video Guinness record holding trophy hunter

1183
01:28:58,940 --> 01:29:06,380
Hakum Has claimed that his user data was sold on telegrams black market by sony employees. Hakum has over

1184
01:29:07,580 --> 01:29:11,580
207,000 trophies including 7,311 platinums

1185
01:29:12,620 --> 01:29:19,260
Wow Here i'm gonna read it verbatim. These are not my words dumb ps fanboy david

1186
01:29:20,540 --> 01:29:23,740
I think david actually wrote that so i just that's what i'm saying it

1187
01:29:24,140 --> 01:29:27,980
Has less than 3000 total trophies and three platinums for reference

1188
01:29:29,340 --> 01:29:32,380
Wow, whoa, so buddy has literally

1189
01:29:33,580 --> 01:29:41,820
Am i reading this correctly 7,311 platinums means i two thousand times the number of platinum trophies as dumb

1190
01:29:42,540 --> 01:29:44,940
PlayStation fanboy david yeah a little bit more

1191
01:29:46,700 --> 01:29:50,460
Is am i correct platinum means you you got every trophy for the game

1192
01:29:51,340 --> 01:29:56,780
I think they're just you know some of the harder trophies. Okay, um and a platinum trophy might also include

1193
01:29:57,340 --> 01:30:00,700
Get every other trophy. I'm sorry. I I I don't know because

1194
01:30:01,260 --> 01:30:04,940
Digital trophies for playing a game are not real awards

1195
01:30:07,020 --> 01:30:09,020
Hot take

1196
01:30:10,060 --> 01:30:17,580
I didn't say they're not fun, but games are meant to be fun and if it isn't fun then f*** it challenge can be fun

1197
01:30:18,620 --> 01:30:24,060
Sure I'm sorry i i i am

1198
01:30:25,020 --> 01:30:27,020
Oh boy

1199
01:30:28,380 --> 01:30:31,500
Should we just move on There are

1200
01:30:31,500 --> 01:30:36,060
More important. I feel that there are more important things

1201
01:30:36,620 --> 01:30:41,420
To feel a sense of achievement over are you being that reporter talking about the the tetris kid?

1202
01:30:44,940 --> 01:30:50,300
Maybe a little bit maybe a little bit, but um touch grass

1203
01:30:51,020 --> 01:30:55,900
That kid though seemed to kind of have his life together other than being really good at tetris, so

1204
01:30:57,260 --> 01:30:59,260
You don't know that hakum doesn't

1205
01:31:01,260 --> 01:31:06,940
No, no, i'm just speaking generally hakum might totally have his life together. Yeah, i'm just saying tetris kid

1206
01:31:06,940 --> 01:31:12,860
I wouldn't have said that about tetris kid because I think there was additional context that the reporter was ignoring like apparently

1207
01:31:12,860 --> 01:31:20,060
He had like good grades and like like it was was an active kid who was just really really really friggin good at tetris

1208
01:31:20,060 --> 01:31:23,820
So I don't know anyways the trouble started when his

1209
01:31:24,380 --> 01:31:32,540
Hakums PSN account or playstation network account got banned in september while trying to recover his account. He got messages with screenshots from a

1210
01:31:33,660 --> 01:31:38,060
good saudi guy What I think it's saudi, but sure saudi sure

1211
01:31:38,460 --> 01:31:43,020
Showing that hakum's personal data and playstation account info was being leaked on telegram

1212
01:31:43,340 --> 01:31:49,340
The same source also claimed that the accounts had acquired the info by bribing sony employees

1213
01:31:49,580 --> 01:31:53,500
Although most of the evidence in the video was blurred to protect hakum. That's probably good

1214
01:31:54,220 --> 01:31:59,580
It does include a screenshot of one of the offending seller accounts using an email with the official

1215
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:04,540
polyphony polyphony polyphony

1216
01:32:04,540 --> 01:32:08,220
polyphony polyphony, I believe it's husband else the game with me the game studio

1217
01:32:08,940 --> 01:32:13,900
I don't know digital domain Maker of grand trismo. Okay, sure

1218
01:32:14,380 --> 01:32:20,220
He then started getting calls from one scammer using multiple numbers who claimed to be from sony's customer service

1219
01:32:20,380 --> 01:32:22,780
But would eventually ask for hakum's credit card number

1220
01:32:23,580 --> 01:32:29,500
Around the time he got answers from the real sony who claimed the original ban was due to suspicious activity on his account

1221
01:32:29,660 --> 01:32:32,620
such as having multiple playstation devices in different locations

1222
01:32:34,220 --> 01:32:40,220
Uh, it's possible he had people helping him get trophies. Oh, which is against the to s as well as popping

1223
01:32:40,780 --> 01:32:47,820
Platinum trophies after just seconds of gameplay. This is possible both by playing trophy farming games

1224
01:32:49,660 --> 01:32:59,260
What What or when auto popping by loading a 100 percent ps4 save into a ps5 game

1225
01:32:59,420 --> 01:33:04,380
Or a 100 save into the save game from a different region

1226
01:33:05,900 --> 01:33:10,940
What okay So, okay, can I go back to my point?

1227
01:33:15,660 --> 01:33:19,980
None of this is real None of this is going to get you girls

1228
01:33:20,140 --> 01:33:25,820
uh Really there might be one playstation trophies there might even be two

1229
01:33:26,780 --> 01:33:30,220
Tell you what some could say possibly three you go find them

1230
01:33:32,780 --> 01:33:36,540
I could go as far as this box right here next week

1231
01:33:37,980 --> 01:33:42,700
Someone might step up Someone might step up

1232
01:33:43,180 --> 01:33:46,940
A girl they might Who would be like?

1233
01:33:46,940 --> 01:33:51,020
Wow, you you you slide up next to her at the bar

1234
01:33:51,820 --> 01:33:57,740
What up? I got 7,311 platinums and playstation. Check my psn and she's like damn

1235
01:33:57,820 --> 01:34:01,500
Can I go back to your house to see them? Maybe really maybe really maybe

1236
01:34:02,780 --> 01:34:07,740
There's a lot of people out there. You don't know Someone in chat says it shows dedication

1237
01:34:11,420 --> 01:34:13,420
I'll let you continue

1238
01:34:19,180 --> 01:34:24,140
Where even was I after two weeks he was ghosty 26 says you won't cheat

1239
01:34:26,620 --> 01:34:32,220
Uh, well, I don't know because the the story is claiming that I mean on her because you've got no time

1240
01:34:32,220 --> 01:34:37,660
Because you're busy playing playstation. I mean, it's a pretty good argument. Um, after two weeks

1241
01:34:37,740 --> 01:34:42,380
He was informed his account would be reinstated after 45 days with strict

1242
01:34:43,420 --> 01:34:47,580
Uh censorship, but then there's a note here saying that I think he means monitoring which makes sense

1243
01:34:47,660 --> 01:34:49,900
Well plain chat is great. She'd be a platinum digger

1244
01:34:52,780 --> 01:34:56,060
You guys are great you guys are great. Why did I ever look at the other chats? Okay?

1245
01:34:56,940 --> 01:35:01,740
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Although he wasn't informed at the time. He had been taken off the press list

1246
01:35:01,900 --> 01:35:09,340
Don't know what that means. Uh, I wish there was uh more concrete or verifiable proof of the data leaker being a sony employee as

1247
01:35:11,580 --> 01:35:16,060
Uh I think this is Riley text in the dock. Yeah

1248
01:35:17,420 --> 01:35:23,900
As personally, I don't think the presented evidence is sufficient to be 100 damning definitely spooky though

1249
01:35:24,220 --> 01:35:28,220
And I mean, I would agree with that statement. Anyway, I mean the other part of this

1250
01:35:28,300 --> 01:35:34,540
This is just kind of one example of how your personal data is not really that safe. Um

1251
01:35:35,100 --> 01:35:40,780
We've seen other examples of this in the past. I mean, uh tesla employees famously were swapping

1252
01:35:41,500 --> 01:35:47,500
videos That were recorded on people's teslas. Um, if you put personal information on the internet, it's not safe

1253
01:35:48,860 --> 01:35:51,820
Well, I mean, yeah, but there's certain stuff that people

1254
01:35:52,380 --> 01:36:01,980
Have an expectation should be safe. Um, and another another example that was given was um, someone trying to and and I have no

1255
01:36:02,780 --> 01:36:09,500
Verification of this whatsoever. Uh, but someone trying to find out if someone was cheating on them and trying to find an employee

1256
01:36:09,980 --> 01:36:13,820
To give them access to the account to the email account by bribing them

1257
01:36:14,380 --> 01:36:22,380
um Conceivably there are reasons that certain departments within a company could have access to just about

1258
01:36:22,780 --> 01:36:26,780
Anything like any department that's in charge for example of monitoring for

1259
01:36:27,340 --> 01:36:29,980
um, child sexual abuse material csam

1260
01:36:31,180 --> 01:36:33,900
Could conceivably have access to just about any

1261
01:36:34,700 --> 01:36:38,620
dm or p.m. Or email or whatever the case may be

1262
01:36:38,780 --> 01:36:40,780
Uh

1263
01:36:42,300 --> 01:36:46,140
Pretty crazy by the way rest assured says f*** me in the ass messages

1264
01:36:47,900 --> 01:36:53,740
Tried to get him. What tried to get him out saving that you're a little a little bit too late. Dang it. Um, I'll get him someday

1265
01:36:54,140 --> 01:36:56,140
I'm gonna get him someday

1266
01:36:57,420 --> 01:37:03,100
All down his shirt. It's been a long time. I'm gonna but I don't want to bet against that. I'm gonna get him

1267
01:37:04,940 --> 01:37:08,300
Um Dan I just got that

1268
01:37:08,620 --> 01:37:14,620
Ah Go back to your show. I'm gonna leave now before I get beat to death

1269
01:37:20,140 --> 01:37:25,420
My goodness, uh There are discussion questions. Um

1270
01:37:26,220 --> 01:37:31,500
If 2fa wasn't a thing, do you think you could hack into other host's accounts and steal their info?

1271
01:37:33,020 --> 01:37:41,820
Um Hosts. Yes accounts. Like you mean like our like like our hosts who work here. I'm assuming he means this is a wancho comment

1272
01:37:41,820 --> 01:37:45,820
I'm assuming he means like us Oh, yes, um

1273
01:37:47,740 --> 01:37:53,020
Yeah, I mean pretty pretty easily honestly without 2fa like I have

1274
01:37:53,580 --> 01:37:57,500
For instance, I mean, am I allowed to use every tool at my disposal?

1275
01:37:57,900 --> 01:38:01,260
I may I think so because like I can access it's acquirable by

1276
01:38:01,740 --> 01:38:05,340
In fact, I think all three of us have access to the surveillance cameras

1277
01:38:06,140 --> 01:38:10,300
So all I would have to do is contrive some situation

1278
01:38:10,300 --> 01:38:16,460
Okay, set it up where I have you log into your account sitting like close enough to a camera

1279
01:38:16,460 --> 01:38:23,740
And I can just like see your password I'm not gonna go over all the reasons why but literally any account you have would be hilariously easy

1280
01:38:23,820 --> 01:38:25,820
Like

1281
01:38:27,340 --> 01:38:33,820
And like these ones and I have literally gained unauthorized access to luke's accounts before I made a

1282
01:38:34,540 --> 01:38:40,140
Joke do you remember that? When I literally logged into one of your accounts or one of your computers

1283
01:38:40,380 --> 01:38:45,020
I believe it fully and I was just like you were like, huh? And I was like, yeah, I like guessed your password

1284
01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:48,860
And you were like right the other day. I was making a joke about um

1285
01:38:50,220 --> 01:38:57,420
like Anyways, I was making a joke that the conclusion was that like someone would need to be able to access the stuff on my desktop

1286
01:38:58,060 --> 01:39:02,300
Um, and someone made the comment of like, how would we get in? I was like, blindness knows the password

1287
01:39:06,940 --> 01:39:13,900
So so yeah You already have it to like some of my stuff. Yeah, so it's it's one of those things where like

1288
01:39:14,620 --> 01:39:20,860
The the the easiest way into someone's account is is obviously social engineering

1289
01:39:20,940 --> 01:39:25,100
Yeah, and the better you know someone the more easily you can social engineer

1290
01:39:25,340 --> 01:39:31,660
Do you know how do you know how quickly and easily I could social engineer luke to type in like a dozen of his passwords

1291
01:39:32,060 --> 01:39:35,020
All I'd have to do is is go get an omg cable

1292
01:39:36,140 --> 01:39:38,140
Put a keyboard in front of them and be like

1293
01:39:39,180 --> 01:39:44,700
Okay Let's do like a typing challenge test. Yeah, but I don't want it to be random things

1294
01:39:44,860 --> 01:39:49,420
I don't want it to be random things. So like, okay, I'll tell you what just like lead the doc as it is

1295
01:39:49,500 --> 01:39:56,060
But like type your your most common like type your type your keeper password and type type this and type that

1296
01:39:56,300 --> 01:40:00,140
I'd probably sniff that out. That's a little bit. I could I could come up with something better than that

1297
01:40:00,380 --> 01:40:04,140
I could come up with something better than that, but like realistically if you have physical access to someone

1298
01:40:04,300 --> 01:40:08,220
I could just put an omg cable on his keyboard and then eventually I would find everything

1299
01:40:08,300 --> 01:40:12,220
Yeah, I mean it said hosts, right? So I mean these have a lot of like extensions and stuff

1300
01:40:12,220 --> 01:40:16,220
I'm sure you can hide something under the table for sure never really notice. Yeah for sure 100%

1301
01:40:16,300 --> 01:40:20,220
Yeah, that's why I was so confident of media like we have physical access to each other's computer

1302
01:40:20,300 --> 01:40:27,340
Yeah, so easy like it's over. I can see all of your cables from my desk. Yeah, right? Yeah, super easy. Yeah

1303
01:40:28,380 --> 01:40:34,060
It is what it is The next one is what can we do to protect our info against such vulnerabilities as bad actors within a corporation?

1304
01:40:34,700 --> 01:40:39,340
Not much Don't don't share passwords across sites try to try to like

1305
01:40:39,980 --> 01:40:43,980
Lower the the impact of the potential damage use use auto fill

1306
01:40:44,380 --> 01:40:50,060
Auto fill is better than typing in passwords because it closes the vulnerability to a keylogger or to an omg cable

1307
01:40:50,060 --> 01:40:53,500
It's still not perfect, but it helps a lot. It helps a ton. No, but it helps

1308
01:40:55,340 --> 01:41:02,060
Yeah, and uh record rucker says air gap. You can't air gap. Nothing is air gapped not really. Yeah

1309
01:41:03,820 --> 01:41:06,460
Well, I mean yes, but no, yeah, but yeah

1310
01:41:08,060 --> 01:41:11,420
Because there's ways to deal with things when they're air gapped as well

1311
01:41:11,980 --> 01:41:15,820
I I I've talked about this before people disagree with me. That's fine

1312
01:41:15,900 --> 01:41:21,260
I I hate that we use the term air gapped for things that aren't quite literally air gapped drives me nuts

1313
01:41:21,260 --> 01:41:28,620
There's a there's a company that makes uh network equipment actually pulls it out that like physically disconnects the port. It's pretty crazy. Um

1314
01:41:29,340 --> 01:41:31,340
over the management interface

1315
01:41:33,020 --> 01:41:36,300
And like I was like does this really need to exist and then I was like

1316
01:41:37,100 --> 01:41:42,060
yeah Depending on what the level of security that's required is

1317
01:41:42,780 --> 01:41:47,420
Yeah, I I I could I could I could see I could see an administrator being able to

1318
01:41:48,140 --> 01:41:53,100
literally Remotely disconnect any port. Yeah, I could see that having a huge value

1319
01:41:55,740 --> 01:42:01,740
The Anyways moving on We got more stuff. Yeah, what are we talking about? Um

1320
01:42:02,380 --> 01:42:07,980
An Intel AMD merger is an idea that was reportedly floated by the u.s. Commerce department

1321
01:42:08,780 --> 01:42:11,820
Our headline says it might be less outlandish than it seems

1322
01:42:12,460 --> 01:42:17,580
But um, I actually strongly disagree. I think it's I think it's pretty. Um

1323
01:42:18,380 --> 01:42:23,260
I think it's pretty outlandish. I also think that the rumors of Intel's demise are

1324
01:42:23,980 --> 01:42:27,020
um Have been grossly

1325
01:42:27,100 --> 01:42:34,620
Exaggerated over the last little while like I think it's more a very serious difficult to properly recover from trip

1326
01:42:34,860 --> 01:42:39,500
Not a fall. Yeah Intel is not Intel's not like

1327
01:42:39,500 --> 01:42:45,020
Going out of business tomorrow. Also my understanding of free coffee now

1328
01:42:46,060 --> 01:42:51,020
Yeah, also my understanding of the whole like x86 license

1329
01:42:52,220 --> 01:42:58,060
Is that actually? Oh, I don't know if Intel and AMD both agreed. Yeah, I guess there's no third party that would step in and say no

1330
01:42:58,380 --> 01:43:01,420
Also, just as consumers. We don't want this

1331
01:43:02,620 --> 01:43:08,140
having Literally only one x86 company. Also. I just don't see the synergies

1332
01:43:08,700 --> 01:43:11,660
Like AMD has their own designs their own jam

1333
01:43:12,060 --> 01:43:17,740
Their own drum that they're marching to right now They are they're a fabless company and they're they're killing it at that

1334
01:43:18,540 --> 01:43:24,540
And Intel for all of their challenges with it over the last few years is a fab company

1335
01:43:24,940 --> 01:43:30,620
And um, that is that is their competitive advantage if they can if they can regain it

1336
01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:34,940
Um, and I just I just don't I don't see what they would uh

1337
01:43:35,740 --> 01:43:39,260
I don't see what they would need from each other necessarily even

1338
01:43:40,060 --> 01:43:45,180
It is worth pointing out that this sort of thing has happened in the past. I think this is from the digitimes article

1339
01:43:45,900 --> 01:43:52,780
Lockheed and martin marietta were merged during the cold war a jp morgan chase acquired bair stearns in 2008

1340
01:43:53,340 --> 01:43:58,460
Um in 1968 the u.s. government encouraged pennsylvania railroad and new york central railroad to merge

1341
01:43:58,940 --> 01:44:05,740
um that I I don't I don't know if i'm convinced any of those things were better for consumers in any way

1342
01:44:05,820 --> 01:44:08,700
So let's not root for this. I guess would be

1343
01:44:09,580 --> 01:44:13,020
All I have to say about that, but um, generally less competition is bad

1344
01:44:13,740 --> 01:44:19,180
Yeah, there is immense endless proof of this. Yeah, you don't want consolidation

1345
01:44:19,900 --> 01:44:24,140
Yeah Cool

1346
01:44:25,020 --> 01:44:29,820
Nice speaking of uh highly consolidated uh companies

1347
01:44:30,620 --> 01:44:38,300
Integrated companies amazon is apparently taking on sheen and temu with a new sub 20 amazon hall

1348
01:44:38,780 --> 01:44:43,180
It's a mobile. Oh, it's mobile only. Okay. That completely kills

1349
01:44:43,820 --> 01:44:49,500
Like my plan for this for wancho the only reason this is in the dock is because I was like luke and I should shop

1350
01:44:50,380 --> 01:44:55,100
For lulls. What am I looking at? Is that a phone on a dock that is capturable by the stream?

1351
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:59,340
I think I think Dan's away for a second, but I that's set up for something else, but I think we could

1352
01:44:59,740 --> 01:45:03,260
Oh, cool. Okay. Well. Yeah, anyway, I'd wanted us to or maybe that is set up for this

01:45:43,340 --> 01:45:49,900
Double phone is this all right Watch me hack. Oh, there was there was some reason watch me hack into this phone Dan explained

1361
01:45:51,180 --> 01:45:53,420
And and hacked he's elite

1362
01:45:55,740 --> 01:46:02,220
He's in the Gibson elite hacks are uh, okay, cool. So does it have the does it have the shop on it?

1363
01:46:03,100 --> 01:46:08,220
Oh, I mean, but I I could have hacked it. I could have hacked it. I can hack it. Yeah, probably

1364
01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:11,100
Oh

1365
01:46:12,780 --> 01:46:21,340
Oh, that's cool Now it's uh, wait now it's a what now now it's a mouse. It's a mouse because I couldn't find the iPhone. Oh, we're using dex

1366
01:46:22,620 --> 01:46:27,500
Okay, yeah, luke's laptop. What's on what's supposed to happen to luke's lap? Oh, brilliant. That's

1367
01:46:28,380 --> 01:46:34,220
genius Okay, so you mean chrome or oh, oh, I understand. Oh, that's funky

1368
01:46:34,780 --> 01:46:40,060
Okay, hey, there we go. We're on mobile but also not mobile. Okay, so it's it's amazon halls

1369
01:46:40,620 --> 01:46:50,620
Uh amazon hall way to go Dan Okay, as modern retail points out hall is already inundated with misleading ai images on product pages

1370
01:46:51,100 --> 01:46:58,780
This program marks a strategic shift for amazon as it directly competes with platforms like sheen and temu in the cheap junk market

1371
01:46:59,340 --> 01:47:05,260
amazon halls focus on low-cost goods raises concerns about product quality sustainability and ethical sourcing

1372
01:47:05,500 --> 01:47:09,420
Yeah, I mean if those weren't already concerns for you on amazon

1373
01:47:09,580 --> 01:47:15,660
Um, I think a lot of people will say that they care about that And then they'll go to a website to buy something and be like that's expensive

1374
01:47:15,740 --> 01:47:18,940
And then go to something like sheen or temu or something like that and be like, oh, wow

1375
01:47:19,020 --> 01:47:24,940
I'm gonna buy that I suddenly don't care dude the number of people that virtue signal to me about all kinds of stuff

1376
01:47:25,420 --> 01:47:28,300
and then immediately you're gonna be like

1377
01:47:29,100 --> 01:47:34,860
$4 for a little mini broom. What a ripoff. I could get it for two. It's like, well, yeah

1378
01:47:36,620 --> 01:47:43,020
Anyway, uh luke laptop. It's it's important until it affects my wallet. Okay. So what are we what are we looking at here?

1379
01:47:43,100 --> 01:47:49,980
This is a little bit. I strain. Oh vision not gonna lie. Um Dan. How much do you know about about dex?

1380
01:47:50,060 --> 01:47:53,340
Is there uh, I don't know I couldn't like

1381
01:47:54,220 --> 01:47:58,700
Figure it out in time. Unfortunately. Um, okay. Well, what's this? Let's let's look at some stuff

1382
01:47:58,940 --> 01:48:02,700
This is mobile only which is why we're on dex. Really don't think it's a shoe luke

1383
01:48:03,020 --> 01:48:08,780
And it's probably designed for phones not for a 16 by none monitor. Yeah, I mean that makes sense

1384
01:48:09,260 --> 01:48:14,300
What was it? What was this product? It says it says below the picture

1385
01:48:14,780 --> 01:48:18,460
Did I just add this to cart? It says below the picture above the color selections

1386
01:48:19,020 --> 01:48:21,900
Above the what what are you talking about? Oh shoelaces

1387
01:48:22,620 --> 01:48:26,220
For athletic boot shoelaces for men and women one pair

1388
01:48:27,180 --> 01:48:29,180
Okay, well, where's the price?

1389
01:48:30,300 --> 01:48:34,300
Where's even the price for it? Is the price in the bottom right Dan? Are we are we covering the price?

1390
01:48:34,460 --> 01:48:38,060
I forgot. Yeah, maybe you are we requesting a desktop version of the site?

1391
01:48:38,700 --> 01:48:45,660
I don't know What have you done Dan? I don't know. I tried to get it together very quickly. You know what?

1392
01:48:46,220 --> 01:48:51,260
Good job Dan. Um, okay. Let's go. You have to rescind your a head pat as well. Yeah

1393
01:48:52,220 --> 01:48:55,100
Uh, okay, what's this? We got uh, we're like a RAM

1394
01:48:59,020 --> 01:49:01,020
Where's the price?

1395
01:49:02,060 --> 01:49:06,220
Uh, I can't see very well. I don't know. I don't know where the price is

1396
01:49:07,180 --> 01:49:15,340
What is this product? I think it's pants or are these are these other products? Yeah, these are just completely other different products

1397
01:49:17,100 --> 01:49:25,980
Weird you buy a Do you see any ai images yet? I mean, this is just badly photoshopped like that person is clearly not standing in that room

1398
01:49:26,380 --> 01:49:34,380
I was going to expect it to be better if it was an ai image Jordank said that you have to select one for a price. You have to select one. So go back up. I thought we did

1399
01:49:34,460 --> 01:49:39,340
But didn't I select one? Are we on a product page? Yeah, I'm on a product page right now. No, you got to select a variant

1400
01:49:39,820 --> 01:49:48,220
Oh, okay, this one What no, no, no, no, I figured it out. I figured it out this one. Okay double tap to zoom. Nope not necessary

1401
01:49:48,300 --> 01:49:51,820

Okay, here we go Where's the price? Where's the price?

1446
01:53:48,860 --> 01:53:53,180
Free shipping on 25 dollars. Yeah, I've got it. Very selective if you keep scrolling down and just switch

1447
01:53:53,340 --> 01:53:55,340
It just loads things forever

1448
01:53:56,620 --> 01:54:03,260
I don't understand. Where's the price? See? Oh, there was apparently an error at the top of that. You need to be logged in? You have to log in

1449
01:54:08,060 --> 01:54:10,060
Okay, long story

1450
01:54:11,180 --> 01:54:15,020
But I do not have the 2fa for my amazon account

1451
01:54:15,900 --> 01:54:22,780
So I cannot log in was that taken away from you. No a bad boy. No, I just don't have it because evan has it

1452
01:54:23,100 --> 01:54:29,340
Okay. Yeah Well, we both use the same account. Yeah, only one of us has our phone number on it. So

1453
01:54:30,860 --> 01:54:35,420
There you go. I mean there's solutions to that. Yeah, but I don't care. Yeah, because like whatever

1454
01:54:36,060 --> 01:54:40,140
Fair enough. Fair enough. Who cares this amazon account? Uh, apparently it can use the whole app

1455
01:54:40,220 --> 01:54:44,140
But yeah, we're trying to show it to you guys. So we want to use the site. I could sign into it, but like

1456
01:54:44,860 --> 01:54:49,260
I don't really want to sign into my Yeah, I don't I don't blame you

1457
01:54:49,900 --> 01:54:57,980
um So cool kuiichi says you can borrow mine. Nice. Uh, you know what? I don't know if I care anymore

1458
01:54:59,020 --> 01:55:04,220
Yeah, cool Nice, I think I'm over it. Um, so amazon hauls everyone

1459
01:55:05,020 --> 01:55:08,540
Yay Thanks Dan

1460
01:55:09,260 --> 01:55:17,100
Um I thought when you had the whole rig, it was an app. Okay. No, that's why I had to do the whole rig because it's just a bloody website

1461
01:55:17,660 --> 01:55:20,220
But you can just request and anyways, whatever, it's fine

1462
01:55:21,580 --> 01:55:26,220
What? Okay, whatever. I only learned I learned about this 20 minutes before the show started

1463
01:55:26,300 --> 01:55:30,460
You know what? I'm just going to show people how it works because it is actually like that's probably a really good idea

1464
01:55:30,780 --> 01:55:34,460
Okay, do some learning for this traffic fire. Well, I didn't mean to do that

1465
01:55:35,020 --> 01:55:39,820
Okay, if you have 12 And then click on this little oh, I already did it

1466
01:55:39,820 --> 01:55:44,300
So if you have 12 and then there's oh, did you go hide the merch message at the top

1467
01:55:44,300 --> 01:55:49,820
There we go. This little button right here that shows like a laptop and a phone if you click on that you can get different

1468
01:55:50,700 --> 01:55:54,460
You know responsive design dimensions. So now it thinks I'm on a phone, right?

1469
01:55:54,780 --> 01:56:02,780
So you can view and experience Websites potentially your own website for your new development in different formats different screen sizes stuff like that

1470
01:56:02,780 --> 01:56:07,500
So you can you know, you don't have to own every single version of every single crazy stupid Android phone

1471
01:56:07,900 --> 01:56:14,060
Um, also, I just noticed this. What is that? I don't know, but it's cute. That's awesome. Oh

1472
01:56:14,700 --> 01:56:18,700
Anyways, that is actually like a cool fairly handy thing if you didn't know about that. It's kind of neat

1473
01:56:18,940 --> 01:56:25,100
All right, uh speaking of things we didn't know about we have talked a couple of times about the sydney island deer cull

1474
01:56:25,580 --> 01:56:28,540
On the WAN Show. Yeah, and I received an email

1475
01:56:29,420 --> 01:56:34,700
This long. Wow about our discussion. Apparently I was very wrong and misled. Um

1476
01:56:34,700 --> 01:56:44,700
Okay And I did click this link and I spent probably about an hour poking about on it

1477
01:56:45,340 --> 01:56:49,500
And it is less far less stupid

1478
01:56:50,300 --> 01:56:56,060
um, then We have been led to believe and led you to believe

1479
01:56:57,020 --> 01:57:00,300
So I'm open to mind being changed. I have a hard

1480
01:57:01,260 --> 01:57:04,860
Time believing that but I am I am open to facts

1481
01:57:05,020 --> 01:57:15,180
So what uh, what we talked about was there's this island that has an invasive species of deer and um, we were laughing about how the canadian government has apparently hired

1482
01:57:15,820 --> 01:57:21,420
international helicopter hunters to come and shoot them and we kind of talked about how

1483
01:57:22,380 --> 01:57:26,140
Hunters would have paid to hunt those deer and etc etc etc

1484
01:57:27,100 --> 01:57:33,420
And there are a lot of reasons that I wouldn't have considered for why that is not

1485
01:57:34,460 --> 01:57:36,460
Actually a real solution

1486
01:57:37,580 --> 01:57:39,580
So one of them is that

1487
01:57:40,620 --> 01:57:48,940
They have attempted that multiple times And the problems with the solution of just having hunters call them is that they don't get everything

1488
01:57:49,420 --> 01:57:54,700
And whenever they don't get everything the population bounces back pops right back up not only that

1489
01:57:54,780 --> 01:57:57,100
But when that population bounces back

1490
01:57:58,220 --> 01:58:03,900
It is every single time a more difficult population to cull because what the

1491
01:58:04,700 --> 01:58:11,100
What the population there has learned is that during hunting season or during hunting activities

1492
01:58:11,420 --> 01:58:14,380
There are places on the island which is populated by humans

1493
01:58:14,700 --> 01:58:20,700
There are places on the island that they can go where they cannot be hunted safely by recreational hunters

1494
01:58:21,020 --> 01:58:26,140
And they will camp out there. They will hide there. They'll wait there and they'll just wait it out closer to people

1495
01:58:26,140 --> 01:58:30,860
I'm assuming because you can't shoot closer to residential areas. Um, so they'll hide there

1496
01:58:31,100 --> 01:58:38,940
They'll hide in areas that are extremely Extremely difficult to access on foot, which is where the helicopters come in. Gotcha. Um

1497
01:58:39,900 --> 01:58:43,740
And basically what I was what I was

1498
01:58:45,020 --> 01:58:47,820
Not aware of and what uh, I have now

1499
01:58:48,780 --> 01:58:55,100
Had my mind opened to is that rage bait headlines like that rarely tell the complete story

1500
01:58:56,460 --> 01:58:59,420
In response to your question before the show, did it really need to be

1501
01:59:00,060 --> 01:59:06,940
Like a culling company from new zealand coming across the entire half of the freaking world to come do it?

1502
01:59:07,500 --> 01:59:11,340
Well, they did a bidding process And they won the bid

1503
01:59:11,340 --> 01:59:17,900
It was that simple that decision So they were looking for someone who was qualified in this type of cull

1504
01:59:18,300 --> 01:59:23,180
They put out a bid and that company won the bid. So that's why I thought it okay

1505
01:59:23,420 --> 01:59:30,220
And one of my problems here is i'm getting a lot of uh, my information from like random sources that I've come across here or there

1506
01:59:30,540 --> 01:59:37,980
I thought it like Didn't work very well and they only got like 80 of them or something. Uh, so I think it's uh, don't quote me on this

1507
01:59:37,980 --> 01:59:42,940
But I think it might have actually been paused for now Like I don't know if I don't know if this actually was paused now

1508
01:59:43,020 --> 01:59:46,380
But as far as my understanding goes that that is because of the fencing

1509
01:59:47,180 --> 01:59:54,060
Killing deer that they didn't want to it was like non-invasive or something. I think it's completely unrelated to so it is possible that this won't work

1510
01:59:55,900 --> 02:00:00,780
But When we were laughing about this on the WAN Show and we were like here's all the other things that could have tried

1511
02:00:01,260 --> 02:00:07,100
They have okay. They have tried that's fair enough. I still massively question the whole helicopter approach

1512
02:00:08,060 --> 02:00:15,100
So apparently there are parts of this island that are extremely hard is interesting to me inhospitable to

1513
02:00:15,500 --> 02:00:19,340
Human traversal. Yeah, you don't want to be like hanging off a cliff trying to shoot a deer

1514
02:00:19,420 --> 02:00:22,860
But deer can access them. Yeah. Um, so there's an entire

1515
02:00:23,580 --> 02:00:27,740
There's an entire parks canada Like microsite

1516
02:00:27,740 --> 02:00:31,580
About this whole thing What's the issue?

1517
02:00:31,580 --> 02:00:34,140
What's been done? What have we tried?

1518
02:00:34,860 --> 02:00:41,420
For literally 40 years We've tried hunting and culling and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

1519
02:00:42,540 --> 02:00:48,700
Eradication a globally proven conservation method. Why here's the timeline. Why are we doing this?

1520
02:00:49,580 --> 02:00:53,500
Here's a huge FAQ

1521
02:00:53,580 --> 02:00:56,860
That is a lot. I spent a lot of time reading it. Um

1522
02:00:57,580 --> 02:01:01,500
It may not work. It may not be excellent use of funds. It's not

1523
02:01:02,460 --> 02:01:10,780
Obviously stupid either Uh, see I think my biggest problem was the use of funds made it seem stupid. Sure, uh, like this

1524
02:01:10,860 --> 02:01:15,740
This is the I think the specific art article that I had found. Yeah, so like

1525
02:01:16,620 --> 02:01:19,580
I don't know and that's you know what that's fair enough

1526
02:01:19,740 --> 02:01:23,500
Maybe it didn't work and maybe it turned out to be stupid. I don't know

1527
02:01:24,140 --> 02:01:27,580
But it was not the first choice

1528
02:01:27,580 --> 02:01:33,900
Yeah I don't think I said it was their first choice. No, no, we didn't

1529
02:01:34,540 --> 02:01:39,500
But they're basically it's not just a completely irrational completely stupid thing either

1530
02:01:39,980 --> 02:01:45,900
So all I'm saying is that the truth is often nuanced and rarely

1531
02:01:47,260 --> 02:01:54,540
Just Yeah, I do know that some of the prices that were thrown out were wrong because

1532
02:01:55,500 --> 02:01:59,660
The that wasn't the cost that wasn't the cost of like the helicopter

1533
02:02:00,540 --> 02:02:03,500
Shooting people that was the cost of the entire project

1534
02:02:04,060 --> 02:02:08,940
which As it tends to go with government stuff included a lot of other things

1535
02:02:09,660 --> 02:02:15,420
Um, not not just you know, the helicopter crew it involved like a huge amount of steps of the process

1536
02:02:16,060 --> 02:02:21,660
Dealing with things in a truly different ways. Um, so the the like millions of dollars number. I think is

1537
02:02:22,540 --> 02:02:27,900
I don't know if I would necessarily say inflated But I think when people were describing the project

1538
02:02:28,380 --> 02:02:32,460
They were only describing the helicopter part and then putting the dollar value on which I might have also done

1539
02:02:32,780 --> 02:02:37,980
Um, so it makes it sound like that was just for the helicopter portion, which I don't think is true

1540
02:02:37,980 --> 02:02:41,260
I think there was like paying native tribes and and doing a variety of other things

1541
02:02:41,420 --> 02:02:48,380
Well, apparently netflix video quality is like all over the place right now is is the main event happening now

1542
02:02:49,340 --> 02:02:52,940
It's being streamed on netflix. Yeah, I thought it was a netflix deal. Oh, wow

1543
02:02:53,500 --> 02:02:56,380
Um, has netflix ever had a fight before? I don't know

1544
02:02:57,100 --> 02:02:59,180
I mean netflix does all kinds of stuff. So who knows

1545
02:03:00,700 --> 02:03:07,100
Um See people are saying not yet. Oh, it's the women's fight now. Well, I mean that is the only real fight

1546
02:03:07,500 --> 02:03:11,980
That's like an actual main event. That's apparently like an important fight. Oh, okay

1547
02:03:12,060 --> 02:03:16,620
Yeah, the like like actual like legit fighters and you know stuff fight

1548
02:03:18,940 --> 02:03:21,820
Uh, yeah quality is uh quality is apparently terrible

1549
02:03:22,860 --> 02:03:29,100
Yeah minus likes cat fights confirmed. No, no, I don't I I'm not really I'm not really like a combat sports watcher

1550
02:03:30,140 --> 02:03:35,900
But I know that andrew is uh, I really liked watching one of one of them is irish

1551
02:03:36,700 --> 02:03:41,420
and I also know that You know, apparently this is this has been

1552
02:03:42,380 --> 02:03:48,060
the whole The whole circus show that is accompanying, you know, this this women's fight

1553
02:03:48,700 --> 02:03:54,620
Has been very helpful in promoting women's boxing. So I think that's really cool. Um, sure

1554
02:03:55,020 --> 02:04:00,860
So that's where I'm at on that I liked watching gsp because it felt very technical

1555
02:04:01,980 --> 02:04:08,140
Um, that kind of got me interested in jujitsu. That was a big a big thing that led me into starting to actually train jujitsu

1556
02:04:08,540 --> 02:04:10,940
Was like seeing like, oh, this is this is like

1557
02:04:13,740 --> 02:04:17,100
I don't know. Anyways, it doesn't really matter. I watched a sick like half hour

1558
02:04:18,380 --> 02:04:29,820
YouTube documentary on this guy Okay, he is an incredible story. Um, I again like I'm not into combat sports. I don't really care. Uh, but

1559
02:04:31,100 --> 02:04:35,660
Butterbean is like officially my hero. Oh, it's butterbean. Okay. Yeah, I didn't recognize him. Yeah

1560
02:04:36,220 --> 02:04:40,380
Um, so it's one of those things where like I can I can definitely appreciate

1561
02:04:40,860 --> 02:04:44,380
certain characters or styles and I can definitely get behind like

1562
02:04:44,860 --> 02:04:47,820
an underdog nobody story and stuff like that but

1563
02:04:48,540 --> 02:04:52,540
It's not, um I don't know. It's not

1564
02:04:52,620 --> 02:04:55,820
It's not like my thing. I don't follow. I don't follow it closely or anything like that

1565
02:04:56,700 --> 02:05:03,340
Wow. M poc nor 47 says netflix won't even load midwest us. I mean, that's the thing. I think people don't

1566
02:05:04,220 --> 02:05:10,380
I think people for the most part Don't understand what a fine balancing act

1567
02:05:11,260 --> 02:05:14,780
Infrastructure is it's also streaming. They do a lot of odd like how

1568
02:05:15,500 --> 02:05:22,300
like how How razor thin the margins are in this industry in some ways and how

1569
02:05:23,020 --> 02:05:27,180
How hard fought the efficiencies you gain are and how

1570
02:05:27,740 --> 02:05:31,980
um, how dialed in and tuned your

1571
02:05:31,980 --> 02:05:38,540
Your architecture is for your your anticipated load for your typical use case like

1572
02:05:39,340 --> 02:05:46,300
Like like Langley man said Langley DC has 4k Netflix. So it's probably not a origin issue. It's probably more of an edge issue

1573
02:05:46,540 --> 02:05:49,020
Yeah, so it could be that where you are

1574
02:05:49,660 --> 02:05:57,340
All of a sudden there's like A huge influx of netflix users for example taking it down possibly that's crazy

1575
02:05:57,420 --> 02:06:03,820
That's genuinely pretty crazy that netflix is struggling under this. That's that's pretty wild. Yeah, but but also it surprises me

1576
02:06:04,860 --> 02:06:09,740
And also doesn't because I mean, yeah, that's a thing you see like some big game will come out

1577
02:06:09,980 --> 02:06:16,860
Yeah, and like Oh, oh my god, everyone like half of the eastern seaboard is like internet speed is slow to a crawl like it

1578
02:06:17,100 --> 02:06:24,140
These things do happen not often anymore and and credit to the folks who who design and maintain these systems, but

1579
02:06:25,260 --> 02:06:28,300
It's a thing guys. Yeah, and like like lou said live

1580
02:06:29,180 --> 02:06:34,780
live is tough Live sucks so much harder like yeah, I you know

1581
02:06:34,860 --> 02:06:39,340
I I paid for sports net when uh during the playoffs last year and like yeah

1582
02:06:39,820 --> 02:06:44,300
I was freaking annoyed that the video quality was so crap just kind of like

1583
02:06:45,260 --> 02:06:49,820
And that wasn't the player sock too. I don't really like yeah, I don't really especially for like how much well

1584
02:06:50,380 --> 02:06:54,460
One of the details was that you figured out how to pirate streams just exploiting their players

1585
02:06:55,420 --> 02:07:03,020
So that's one thing um That sucks about it. We literally have better drm than roger sports net, which is pretty embarrassing

1586
02:07:03,260 --> 02:07:05,900
I learned so much about online video

1587
02:07:06,540 --> 02:07:11,900
From doing that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wanted to try to steal it for from my own platform

1588
02:07:13,260 --> 02:07:17,260
And then you can just do that for everyone else's. Yeah, you learn pretty funny

1589
02:07:17,340 --> 02:07:21,100
Um Anyway, like I remember being annoyed about it, but on the flip side

1590
02:07:21,660 --> 02:07:25,180
I mean for how much they're charging I should definitely have gotten better video quality

1591
02:07:25,260 --> 02:07:30,060
But but on the flip side, I do understand that streaming video is really freaking hard stuff

1592
02:07:30,780 --> 02:07:35,420
Um All right, what are what are we supposed to be talking about right now?

1593
02:07:36,380 --> 02:07:42,220
Um, oh the eu find meta nearly 800 million euro over facebook marketplace

1594
02:07:42,860 --> 02:07:48,220
Uh, they're saying they violated eu antitrust rules by tying facebook marketplace to their social network facebook

1595
02:07:48,220 --> 02:07:52,140
Which gives marketplace an unfair advantage over rival classified ad services

1596
02:07:52,940 --> 02:07:58,380
The ec also found that meta exploited data gathered from facebook users to benefit marketplace

1597
02:07:58,700 --> 02:08:01,820
Further solidifying marketplace's position and hampering competition

1598
02:08:02,220 --> 02:08:06,060
This includes using personal data to display personalized ads on marketplace

1599
02:08:06,300 --> 02:08:11,660
That makes sense the ec asserts that meta's anti competitive behavior limits choice and innovation in the online classified market

1600
02:08:11,980 --> 02:08:16,300
That consumers face fewer options and potentially higher prices. I I will

1601
02:08:17,900 --> 02:08:22,780
I will say before there was like a bunch of options and now everyone just uses facebook marketplace

1602
02:08:23,100 --> 02:08:27,820
but what I will say is I use facebook marketplace because it is

1603
02:08:28,620 --> 02:08:31,180
Way better than everything that came before

1604
02:08:32,940 --> 02:08:42,380
Everything before was pretty much Terrible text on a page and the the integration with facebook and tying it to a

1605
02:08:43,100 --> 02:08:46,460
A real identity and a real user account where you can like

1606
02:08:47,100 --> 02:08:55,180
rate someone's Transaction and it like appears on their real like actual identity assuming that they are using a real account. There's obviously fake accounts

1607
02:08:55,180 --> 02:08:58,300
But I'd like to think I can tell the difference pretty easily

1608
02:08:58,940 --> 02:09:03,580
That is a fundamental What?

1609
02:09:03,580 --> 02:09:07,980
I just you're talking about how they're kind of crappy sites and this stat has just always

1610
02:09:08,300 --> 02:09:14,460
Flawed me They make that much 50 employees annual revenue 694 million

1611
02:09:16,380 --> 02:09:19,740
They just rake it in and always have and then just

1612
02:09:21,500 --> 02:09:24,300
You know, what should we do with the website? I don't know just make it

1613
02:09:24,620 --> 02:09:30,140
I love craigslist a tech site with html links. It's what google should have stayed as

1614
02:09:30,620 --> 02:09:33,180
It's so basic. I love it

1615
02:09:33,900 --> 02:09:38,140
You you back off my craigslist craigslist is a it's a stunning

1616
02:09:39,340 --> 02:09:44,780
Company and website that just people don't really think about and then they don't even have like sex work anymore

1617
02:09:46,220 --> 02:09:52,540
Yeah, that was a thing wasn't it? Oh That was the only reason craigslist existed. Yeah, I don't know as far as I could tell

1618
02:09:53,260 --> 02:09:59,500
Yeah, it began in 1995. So it's been running for 29 years revenue 660 million

1619
02:10:00,300 --> 02:10:03,340
Wow, okay Crazy

1620
02:10:03,340 --> 02:10:07,100
Absolutely crazy um

1621
02:10:07,100 --> 02:10:10,700
Just one of those companies that yeah, it doesn't get talked about a lot and just rakes it in

1622
02:10:11,740 --> 02:10:16,860
Anyways, sorry. Okay. Um Cool. So anywho, um

1623
02:10:17,420 --> 02:10:26,620
Um Yeah, so I I I don't know on the one hand. Yeah, they're they're right from an antitrust standpoint. They're like 100 right?

1624
02:10:27,180 --> 02:10:35,180
um, and and I wish that Other jurisdictions enforced antitrust the way the eu has started cracking down on it. It would absolutely be a good thing

1625
02:10:35,180 --> 02:10:38,860
I don't have much hope for the next little while as far as that goes

1626
02:10:38,940 --> 02:10:44,060
But hey lina kahn we we're rooting for you over here. Please hold on. Yeah, um

1627
02:10:44,700 --> 02:10:53,260
I know there's nothing you can really do about it, but please from my point of view at least for now until facebook abuses their position

1628
02:10:53,900 --> 02:10:59,820
Facebook marketplace has been a very good disruptor. I love facebook marketplace. I think there's things that they could do better

1629
02:10:59,900 --> 02:11:09,340
What's the differentiating Things that you like? I like that it's tied to an actual profile that you maintain and care about that is a reflection of your personal image

1630
02:11:09,660 --> 02:11:12,860
I think that improves accountability um

1631
02:11:12,940 --> 02:11:16,060
Compared to the number of times I've been ghosted on something like craigslist

1632
02:11:16,460 --> 02:11:22,380
Um, I like that sniff out if an account is real or not. Mm-hmm. I like that. I like that messaging is integrated

1633
02:11:23,340 --> 02:11:27,580
That's super convenient It's it's on an app that I already have on my phone and already use so

1634
02:11:28,220 --> 02:11:31,180
Another layer of convenience craigslist emails are a little annoying

1635
02:11:31,740 --> 02:11:37,260
Mm-hmm. Um, and and the fact that so many people don't include any way to reliably contact them

1636
02:11:37,740 --> 02:11:41,820
Um, like people don't like putting a phone number on craigslist for obvious reasons

1637
02:11:42,300 --> 02:11:50,700
But if you don't have a phone number I mean the best you can hope for is maybe 24 hour return round trip times for communication. It's not fast enough

1638
02:11:51,180 --> 02:11:54,220
So I like the immediacy of arranging things. I like that

1639
02:11:54,700 --> 02:11:59,740
Maps and locations are just integrated into the platform people people have to say where stuff is on craigslist

1640
02:11:59,740 --> 02:12:03,020
But it's not validated in any way whereas facebook. It's just

1641
02:12:03,820 --> 02:12:08,620
It's like your location that you've selected at some point and it's just like part of the whole listing

1642
02:12:09,180 --> 02:12:14,540
Is is my understanding. I'm sure they're not sure about that last one But everything else that I've said I are things that I love about facebook

1643
02:12:15,660 --> 02:12:21,580
Marketplace instant messaging makes trolling people that post things for free or a dollar and actually want it for a lot more

1644
02:12:21,740 --> 02:12:28,220
Very fun. I'd love to see facebook crack down on that I'd love the ability to report anyone who puts a price that isn't the actual price

1645
02:12:28,860 --> 02:12:33,100
But that's probably the only area where I would like to see them innovate

1646
02:12:33,900 --> 02:12:38,140
Where it would be a meaningful change and then at that point it would be basically perfect for me

1647
02:12:38,220 --> 02:12:40,220
I I wouldn't eat anything else

1648
02:12:42,060 --> 02:12:44,380
I know they're a sponsor, but like

1649
02:12:45,260 --> 02:12:51,100
They're not sponsoring this. Um, I think they're pretty much just doing computers and stuff java, but java seems pretty good

1650
02:12:51,100 --> 02:12:57,100
Yeah, they only do computer hardware though and that's a little limiting not everything that I buy itself trade computer hardware

1651
02:12:57,100 --> 02:13:01,020
Is computer hardware, but I had like first grab it whereas I had a genuinely good experience

1652
02:13:01,420 --> 02:13:05,420
What's cool about java is because it's so focused on computer hardware

1653
02:13:05,660 --> 02:13:12,940
You can have like filters and you can have You can have it's more like a shopping experience for used for used hardware

1654
02:13:13,260 --> 02:13:19,820
And there is absolutely a place for stuff like that But when it comes to just random stuff, I need like scrap wood

1655
02:13:20,620 --> 02:13:27,740
Yeah, yeah, that's gotta be hyper local too. Yeah, exactly facebook marketplace is the solution for that

1656
02:13:30,540 --> 02:13:33,820
Valve no, I know the valve one I talk about that on on wench all the time

1657
02:13:33,900 --> 02:13:36,620
Valves like the most profitable tech company there is per employee

1658
02:13:37,100 --> 02:13:41,340
Um by east one says that stuff's annoying on sites like zillow two

1659
02:13:41,580 --> 02:13:47,180
No, I don't want to see a listing for a brand new home for zero dollars show me real results shopping is so archaic

1660
02:13:47,420 --> 02:13:52,380
It just sucks as far as I can tell it's terrible as far as I can tell the powers that be

1661
02:13:52,940 --> 02:13:58,060
Um, no interest like it that way. Yep. They absolutely like it that way because

1662
02:13:58,700 --> 02:14:03,180
They want their commission and they want to be as necessary as possible for as long as possible. Yeah

1663
02:14:04,380 --> 02:14:10,620
And I'm not like this is not like just some conspiracy theorist stuff like or anything like that. This is just

1664
02:14:11,740 --> 02:14:15,980
looking at the money Following the money

1665
02:14:15,980 --> 02:14:18,460
Seeing where it goes and why and going. Oh

1666
02:14:19,100 --> 02:14:21,260
Okay, it is in literally

1667
02:14:23,100 --> 02:14:29,660
Not no one who's in a position of power has any motivation whatsoever to make this better to make this a smoother

1668
02:14:30,060 --> 02:14:33,580
Easier experience because all I would do is make it so that they circumvent you

1669
02:14:34,300 --> 02:14:42,460
Yes, that's it. So why do that? Yep, because a lot of these sites like they they do even have ways to circumvent having a purchasing realtor

1670
02:14:42,780 --> 02:14:47,420
Because there's ways to directly connect to the selling realtor. Um, but

1671
02:14:48,300 --> 02:14:55,180
You know, yeah Yeah, no anyways, I didn't want to talk about skeezy realtors. I'll be right back

1672
02:14:56,540 --> 02:15:07,900
Uh, sure I'll talk about an amazing topic while you're gone. Uh, pizza huts pizza warmer warms pizza with ps5 exhaust

1673
02:15:11,180 --> 02:15:13,180
I can go to another one

1674
02:15:14,860 --> 02:15:19,020
Uh, yeah, the pizza warmer is a 3d printable device

1675
02:15:20,380 --> 02:15:24,620
Oh, so it's just a box that channels air. Okay. I mean that makes sense. It's a 3d printable device

1676
02:15:24,620 --> 02:15:30,220
I don't know if you want to put your food on 3d printed Uh, 3d prints of food safe exactly one time

1677
02:15:31,660 --> 02:15:37,500
Because the small pores trap bacteria and you cannot clean them. Can you just put a plate in this thing? Maybe that would probably

1678
02:15:37,500 --> 02:15:41,660
Do you want to heat up? A thing that goes around food that is 3d printed

1679
02:15:42,540 --> 02:15:47,900
That should be I mean we're already full of microblastics. Anyway, shove more in there. Yeah, why not?

1680
02:15:48,220 --> 02:15:53,660
Let's go. We're able to extrude more out to make more pizza boxes. I don't know

1681
02:15:54,380 --> 02:15:58,620
generally Who knows I want to see the micro plastics

1682
02:15:59,660 --> 02:16:06,860
I want macro plastics in my system check. I'm not a not a doctor of pizza science. Anyways, uh, while it's designed to keep pizza warm

1683
02:16:08,780 --> 02:16:12,860
Macro plastics. Yeah, thanks Using the ps5's exhaust heat

1684
02:16:12,940 --> 02:16:23,100
There are concerns about its ability to heat evenly Additionally, placing that's the main concern a plastic device near a heat source raises safety concerns and obstructing the console's air flow

1685
02:16:23,340 --> 02:16:29,660
Could cause overheating the the ps5 heating box does not heat very easily 8 out of 10 on tech radar

1686
02:16:29,900 --> 02:16:36,300
I was messaged this internally by a writer a writer who is highly capable in my opinion of

1687
02:16:36,940 --> 02:16:39,980
making a sick version

1688
02:16:39,980 --> 02:16:41,980
of pizza heater version 2

1689
02:16:43,180 --> 02:16:51,340
And I I I'm sure I came across sarcastic and I was mostly but I love playing exclusive. I hope that they take up the banner

1690
02:16:51,420 --> 02:16:57,260
I've always wanted to like we could do a collab on ironically go back and make one that's actually

1691
02:16:58,140 --> 02:17:02,380
Way overbuilt and super sick. Most of the people here could have that done in like 20

1692
02:17:03,180 --> 02:17:07,980
Maybe 30 minutes. I don't even mean 3d printing though. Like make it sick

1693
02:17:08,700 --> 02:17:15,820
No, I mean like do the design For a sick one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have so many and we have every single tool now

1694
02:17:16,380 --> 02:17:21,020
Yeah, so like I think it would be wicked. Yes. We were just like copper. You know what?

1695
02:17:21,420 --> 02:17:24,220
We're going to go back to this project that was genuinely terrible

1696
02:17:24,940 --> 02:17:28,300
And make it really good. I mean like there was the there was the car

1697
02:17:28,860 --> 02:17:33,740
They did a car I thought I mean you've done so many things. I don't know. It's such a weird marketing

1698
02:17:33,900 --> 02:17:40,220
As far as I can tell if you like whisper project ideas near Sebastian things just happen. Um, he's already texted me a couple times

1699
02:17:42,300 --> 02:17:45,580
But it's kind of aluminum trays. You're not like eating the pizza off of the

1700
02:17:46,700 --> 02:17:54,220
Uh, the plastic I didn't realize it sits on top when when I read this topic. Originally. I was imagining that it's on top

1701
02:17:54,540 --> 02:17:59,260
Yeah, I was imagining that it was like a tube that kind of came out of the back of the play station

1702
02:17:59,340 --> 02:18:03,420
And then like wrapped around into a box, but no, it seems to sit on top

1703
02:18:03,660 --> 02:18:08,220
Maybe we should click on the link and show people. Hold on. I know how to host a show sometimes

1704
02:18:08,380 --> 02:18:13,420
Wow, the bare minimum When he does sit on top, what are you talking about? No, no, no, that's what it actually does

1705
02:18:13,420 --> 02:18:18,300
I thought it was like a tube out the back I don't own a PS5 on the side of the PS5

1706
02:18:18,540 --> 02:18:27,820
The PS5 has a giant fan hole in the side of it Yeah, but D brand made some plates to expose because they patented what I expected. Yeah, so it goes all the way around it

1707
02:18:28,060 --> 02:18:32,380
Well, that's fine Yeah, it doesn't look like it heats very easily garbage product

1708
02:18:33,180 --> 02:18:39,340
Pulling inspiration from pizza huts red roof the lid seamlessly opens like a laptop for easy

1709
02:18:39,820 --> 02:18:44,380
Pizza access those things don't line up What what pizza hut?

1710
02:18:44,700 --> 02:18:51,580
What pizza hut roofs easily seamlessly open? I also keep my pizza in laptops

1711
02:18:53,340 --> 02:19:00,380
Designed to snugly affix to the top of your gaming console They don't want to say ps4 or ps5 with a tray that fits several slices

1712
02:19:00,700 --> 02:19:03,420
It won't go anywhere and you won't have to either

1713
02:19:05,020 --> 02:19:12,780
Oh god Channeling worth from the gaming console's warm air pipe straight to your pizza slices

1714
02:19:13,180 --> 02:19:19,980
Science have been doing for the greater good Great pizza. Maybe this timeline is okay. I like this a lot. This isn't all right part of it

1715
02:19:20,540 --> 02:19:24,620
This makes everything okay. I feel much more like secure as a person now

1716
02:19:24,780 --> 02:19:28,780
Can you approve a project for us doing? I don't have to be involved at all

1717
02:19:28,860 --> 02:19:33,180
I feel so validated by the uh ps5 warming thing by the way

1718
02:19:34,220 --> 02:19:38,620
Not a stupid idea just bad execution. Well, this one's not called heater. I never

1719
02:19:38,780 --> 02:19:40,780
Ah

1720
02:19:42,300 --> 02:19:49,660
I never pitched a heater Okay, what do you want? I I think people at the company should actually make one that's like sick

1721
02:19:51,580 --> 02:19:55,900
We should do it We have we have abundance of talent in that realm at this point

1722
02:19:56,380 --> 02:20:01,580
We wouldn't take a lot of design time. I absolutely think we should do it. We should do it. It'd be sick

1723
02:20:01,660 --> 02:20:05,180
I'd be so down. Yeah, we'd have to figure out whatever the most like

1724
02:20:05,660 --> 02:20:08,300
Efficient way of capturing the heat is it should be like

1725
02:20:08,940 --> 02:20:12,860
Overly scientifically cft analysis. We would do flow calculations

1726
02:20:12,940 --> 02:20:17,100
we could play around with the fan curves in the system to make sure that like

1727
02:20:18,140 --> 02:20:22,060
Our our target temperature is like as hot as possible

1728
02:20:22,060 --> 02:20:27,740
So basically we'd we'd basically run we'd run it at idle or we'd run it fanless when it's at idle

1729
02:20:27,900 --> 02:20:33,340
So that we could keep so we could keep the actual temperature of the CPU as high as possible. Yeah

1730
02:20:33,580 --> 02:20:38,300
Yeah Dude, I would be I would be super down. I think it's sick

1731
02:20:40,060 --> 02:20:43,180
I think it's sick. You could probably even like work with pizza hut

1732
02:20:44,220 --> 02:20:50,700
Like imagine getting pizza hut to sponsor it. You just make like the the pc version. Yeah, you're into reaching out to brands and things now

1733
02:20:51,980 --> 02:20:56,460
I'd be kind of sick actually like unironically be kind of sick to work with pizza hut on this

1734
02:20:56,940 --> 02:21:00,060
Do it. I don't know. I certainly wouldn't work with pizza hut. Um

1735
02:21:00,860 --> 02:21:06,620
Why? You know, like their pizza do you I don't know when the last time I had it. I have no idea

1736
02:21:08,300 --> 02:21:10,460
Yeah, I just think they have a funny red hat

1737
02:21:11,580 --> 02:21:13,580
It opens like a laptop

1738
02:21:14,860 --> 02:21:20,540
Yeah, pizza hut is like not good pizza. Okay. I mean, I guess it doesn't really matter

1739
02:21:20,780 --> 02:21:25,660
Is there a pizza chain that would have you know money to do sponsorship that does good pizza?

1740
02:21:25,660 --> 02:21:29,260
I don't like panna go. It's panna go canadian only though. I think so

1741
02:21:30,140 --> 02:21:34,860
Uh, I'm pretty sure it's canadian company. Oh, okay. Well, let's see

1742
02:21:35,820 --> 02:21:37,820
At least it was when I worked there

1743
02:21:38,860 --> 02:21:41,020
What what just what just happened? I tried to

1744
02:21:42,380 --> 02:21:45,980
Try to load this site and it just what just happened

1745
02:21:46,540 --> 02:21:49,100
Okay, I'm trying to go to okay contact us. Okay

1746
02:21:49,820 --> 02:21:54,620
Man, remember when companies used to have it about us and it like said where they were based and stuff

1747
02:21:55,340 --> 02:22:02,220
Yo, they're from abbotsford No way. What the first three stores for panna go pizza opened in abbotsford in 1986

1748
02:22:02,860 --> 02:22:04,860
Abbotsford, British Columbia

1749
02:22:06,780 --> 02:22:09,180
Panagopolis two for one pizza place

1750
02:22:10,220 --> 02:22:18,700
I remember when it was called panagopolis Well, apparently the the actual name was panagopolis two for one pizza place and then it changed to panagopolis pizza place

1751
02:22:19,020 --> 02:22:23,660
And then it later changed to panagopolis. So you probably saw it then. Yeah, and then it shortened to panago

1752
02:22:23,980 --> 02:22:28,860
That's crazy. I didn't know about any of the previous names before panagopolis. I had no idea. They were just a local company

1753
02:22:29,660 --> 02:22:33,420
Crazy the headquarters is down the road from seven oaks mall. Okay. Well, there you go

1754
02:22:33,420 --> 02:22:37,900
So probably not panago then but I don't think they are now. I think they're like nationwide now

1755
02:22:38,140 --> 02:22:42,780
But yeah, I don't think they're outside of canada. All right, then they've always been pretty solid

1756
02:22:44,220 --> 02:22:49,020
I don't know. Maybe it doesn't matter. I don't think that pizza has to be something that I like personally endorse

1757
02:22:49,020 --> 02:22:53,980
It's just literally a warm object to keep warm. So maybe I maybe I don't care that much

1758
02:22:54,700 --> 02:22:58,860
Okay, so business team if you're watching this, I'm open to working with whoever as far as the pizza goes

1759
02:22:58,860 --> 02:23:06,700
And it's not like I have to say Their pizza is good. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's okay. You're saying their pizza is being kept warm

1760
02:23:07,020 --> 02:23:10,300
Like it doesn't collaborate with pizza pizza

1761
02:23:10,460 --> 02:23:13,980
Their pizza can serve as both a construction material and content

1762
02:23:14,780 --> 02:23:20,380
Yeah, okay, pizza also canadian. I've never had pizza pizza. It used to be called little caesars. Oh, what?

1763
02:23:21,740 --> 02:23:29,420
Right, really? No, I think it's a sub separate a separate brand. I think I thought that well, that was their slogan little caesars pizza

1764
02:23:31,420 --> 02:23:36,940
That was like their thing pizza pizza Wasn't it little caesars was american though. I know but we had it here

1765
02:23:37,340 --> 02:23:41,180
But pizza pizza is a canadian brand. Oh, it is. Yeah. Oh never mind

1766
02:23:42,140 --> 02:23:47,340
I know this. Apparently it's not the same thing pizza pizzas east coast. Wait, it's separate. They're different. Okay

1767
02:23:47,740 --> 02:23:50,780
I don't know little caesars used to have pizza pizza as they're like

1768
02:23:51,340 --> 02:23:55,980
Jingle, you know, I only know that pizza pizza is a canadian brand because of because of baby no money

1769
02:23:57,100 --> 02:24:02,060
I was trying to figure out like, how do I know this even though I've never been there? And that's why brilliant. Yeah

1770
02:24:02,780 --> 02:24:07,740
Uh, all right, cool. Yeah, pizza pizza was just a slogan. Okay. Well, let's see what I know

1771
02:24:08,700 --> 02:24:12,540
Speaking of things that I know I gave bad advice for washing the backpack

1772
02:24:13,500 --> 02:24:19,420
In 2022 someone asked on the forum if the LTT backpack was washer safe

1773
02:24:20,140 --> 02:24:23,500
And uh, Linus replied in the thread saying it's probably fine

1774
02:24:23,980 --> 02:24:27,420
Anything with lots of little hanging pieces should be placed in a mesh bag before putting it in the washing machine

1775
02:24:27,420 --> 02:24:32,460
This is much for the safety of your washing machine as the garment I don't think we officially advertise our bag as washing machine safe

1776
02:24:32,460 --> 02:24:37,420
But I'd be blown away if anything bad happened if you run it on cold do not put it in the dryer

1777
02:24:37,740 --> 02:24:41,260
Turns out Hey, not sure if nick has already messaged you about this

1778
02:24:41,260 --> 02:24:47,980
But can we please delete this comment from Linus asap context customer followed this recommendation to disastrous results

1779
02:24:49,740 --> 02:24:52,300
Um, you just scroll down and there's the photo

1780
02:24:54,940 --> 02:25:00,380
Turns out it wasn't fine It's weird to me that it it only really seems to have happened in that one spot like the rest of it looks

1781
02:25:00,540 --> 02:25:03,740
I don't know how I don't know how that would have happened. Yeah, I mean neither

1782
02:25:04,140 --> 02:25:08,780
But um, anyway, we only recommend spot cleaning machine washing is not recommended

1783
02:25:08,780 --> 02:25:13,420
The bulkiness of the backpack is likely to lead to it being damaged in the spin cycle or something like that

1784
02:25:13,980 --> 02:25:17,100
Um, so you can mix water with a small amount of laundry detergent

1785
02:25:17,100 --> 02:25:23,180
Use that to dampen a washcloth and wipe clean then allow it to air dry by placing it upside down in a well ventilated space

1786
02:25:23,740 --> 02:25:29,740
Um, I am blown away that something bad happened to it, but um, and like that we did replace the backpack

1787
02:25:30,060 --> 02:25:36,060
And that's specific of an area and like trust me bro. I will give you good advice or I will replace your backpack. Yeah

1788
02:25:37,260 --> 02:25:40,380
Whoops Yeah

1789
02:25:40,380 --> 02:25:44,300
Pretty funny I wonder if what happened to that is the same thing that happened to one of my shoes

1790
02:25:44,380 --> 02:25:48,060
Where you know how you know how washers have those like the ARM things?

1791
02:25:48,780 --> 02:25:53,180
Panels to help mix up the clothing Um, one of my shoes got stuck

1792
02:25:53,420 --> 02:25:57,260
In between the sidewall and one of the the whatever you want to call them

1793
02:25:57,580 --> 02:26:01,020
So like maybe the bag got like stuck in there or something. I have no idea because that is

1794
02:26:01,660 --> 02:26:04,540
Weird and very oddly specific. I'm not sure how that happened

1795
02:26:07,020 --> 02:26:11,340
But anyways Anyway, trust me bro. Guaranteed of the rescue

1796
02:26:13,180 --> 02:26:20,540
Apex legends overwatch and fortnite all launch classic modes as gamers play the same games over and over and over and over

1797
02:26:21,500 --> 02:26:26,940
A recent study found that while the console and pc games market grew by 2.6 percent in 2023

1798
02:26:27,580 --> 02:26:33,900
90 percent of new game revenue belonged to just 43 titles most of which were live service games

1799
02:26:34,300 --> 02:26:38,540
So if you were wondering Why live service games

1800
02:26:39,020 --> 02:26:45,500
Are everywhere like a cancer. That's why this is why it's gamers fault five games accounted for

1801
02:26:45,580 --> 02:26:51,420
27 percent of all playtime. It's only gamers fault fortnite roblox league of legends

1802
02:26:51,980 --> 02:26:53,980
Minecraft and gta 5

1803
02:26:55,180 --> 02:27:02,140
50 percent of time spent playing new games a maximum of two years old was on sequels like ea sports fc

1804
02:27:03,020 --> 02:27:07,420
FIFA they lost licensing deal ha ha nick ploof. It's apparently worked on this one

1805
02:27:08,060 --> 02:27:10,380
NBA 2k and call of duty

1806
02:27:11,340 --> 02:27:19,660
Apex overwatch and fortnite all came out over five years ago and are still going strong apex. He's about 18 million active players monthly

1807
02:27:19,980 --> 02:27:24,460
Overwatch 2 sees about 6.4 million daily not on steam. Apparently everyone hates it there

1808
02:27:25,340 --> 02:27:29,500
Uh fortnite sees about 3 million daily. I have a really hard time believing

1809
02:27:30,700 --> 02:27:36,060
Overwatch 2 is bigger than fortnite by over double. Yeah, I have a really hard time. These all have citations

1810
02:27:36,780 --> 02:27:41,260
fortnite.gg Um

1811
02:27:41,260 --> 02:27:47,980
That's a 24 hour peak like just in the last 24 hours. So i'm sure they've had uh, yeah, they've definitely had bigger peaks

1812
02:27:48,540 --> 02:27:51,260
The point is just millions of players playing these old games

1813
02:27:51,900 --> 02:27:56,220
Remasters and remakes also incredibly popular warcraft 3 reforge was recently updated

1814
02:27:56,540 --> 02:28:00,220
Actually, i'm really excited about this one. Uh, warcraft 3 reforge got a 2.0

1815
02:28:00,780 --> 02:28:05,020
You can toggle between the old and new graphics and it apparently like tries to fix a bunch of the issues and

1816
02:28:05,420 --> 02:28:08,460
This was released alongside remastered warcraft 1 and warcraft 2

1817
02:28:09,260 --> 02:28:12,540
I kind of want to buy it. It's like 40 bucks. I don't know if I really want to give

1818
02:28:12,940 --> 02:28:17,740
Blizzard Activision money, but I really want it. I tried to dig out my old warcraft 3 disc and I

1819
02:28:18,780 --> 02:28:22,460
Like I still have my key, but I lost my disc

1820
02:28:23,500 --> 02:28:30,060
And I but I have it in I have it in a like a file type that no I no longer have any way to like mount to anything

1821
02:28:30,140 --> 02:28:38,300
and I'm just like Demon tools demon tools. Anyway, diablo 2 resurrected gta trilogy was recently updated to fix a lot of issues

1822
02:28:38,620 --> 02:28:42,060
Multiple years later horizon zero dawn remastered. Why nick lufa?

1823
02:28:42,940 --> 02:28:46,780
Resident evil 1 2 3 4. That one is weird. It's final fantasy 7 remake

1824
02:28:47,100 --> 02:28:51,580
Don't forget about the pixel remasters of the earlier final fantasy games that luke is never going to get around to playing

1825
02:28:52,300 --> 02:28:57,660
Anyway, the point is it's It's a very it's a very long list recent video

1826
02:28:58,540 --> 02:29:00,540
video game remakes and remasters

1827
02:29:02,620 --> 02:29:09,500
um What is basically our discussion question is there are plenty of games that needed remaster horizon zero dawn was not one of them

1828
02:29:09,580 --> 02:29:13,820
What is the deal with this? Gamers suck

1829
02:29:15,580 --> 02:29:20,940
Okay, another reason new triple a games are expensive while free to play games are free

1830
02:29:21,500 --> 02:29:25,660
A lot of these games are free to play Not all of them are

1831
02:29:25,660 --> 02:29:31,100
But it's free to play a game you already bought like a minecraft for example my issue isn't at all with

1832
02:29:31,900 --> 02:29:37,660
the play time My issue I think is with the revenue being so concentrated on live service

1833
02:29:38,300 --> 02:29:45,260
90% of new game revenue were 43 titles most of which were live service games. That's the that's the part that sends out to me

1834
02:29:45,260 --> 02:29:49,340
If you're still playing a live service game five years later, are you really playing the same game though?

1835
02:29:50,300 --> 02:29:52,780
I mean the fact that they had to release classic modes at all sort of

1836
02:29:53,980 --> 02:29:59,100
Suggest that or acknowledges I kind of do agree with that that the game has changed enough and and that's their whole model

1837
02:29:59,100 --> 02:30:04,780
Right is to keep yeah keep taking that money that they're making and putting it into new content that keeps people engaged now

1838
02:30:05,340 --> 02:30:10,780
that can obviously Manifest in sort of really negative manipulative ways

1839
02:30:12,220 --> 02:30:16,460
But on paper the idea is not that crazy. It's almost like episodic gaming, but

1840
02:30:17,580 --> 02:30:19,740
More money and more effective I guess

1841
02:30:21,340 --> 02:30:26,940
Yeah, and to be clear like, you know, if you if you play some free game a ton

1842
02:30:27,900 --> 02:30:30,460
spending an amount of money on that game that you think is

1843
02:30:33,660 --> 02:30:37,180
Comparatively worth the time that you spent on it in order to reward the dev

1844
02:30:37,260 --> 02:30:42,060
I don't think it's necessarily bad, but I also know people personally that like back in

1845
02:30:43,020 --> 02:30:46,540
2015 had spent over two grand only legends. It's just like bro

1846
02:30:47,340 --> 02:30:52,780
Avon fox relax makes a really good point here intellectual lock-in once you've put that much time into getting good

1847
02:30:53,020 --> 02:30:56,780
Leaving the game feels like I think that's part of the time and it's not fun to suck

1848
02:30:57,020 --> 02:31:01,100
I think that's part of it And I think I think it's not fun to suck and people are so

1849
02:31:02,220 --> 02:31:06,220
sweaty these days like wow

1850
02:31:06,220 --> 02:31:10,460
like Genuinely spending your evening

1851
02:31:11,740 --> 02:31:18,620
Just sitting in an aim trainer all night Is not a thing that anyone would have done when we were growing up and if you did people would have

1852
02:31:18,860 --> 02:31:25,580
Shamed you like there were custom maps and stuff for things like counter strike or whatever, but that was

1853
02:31:26,300 --> 02:31:30,140
Abnormal that was something that like people who want to go pro do or something

1854
02:31:30,140 --> 02:31:34,620
That was not something that average gamers would do most the custom maps for counter strike were like

1855
02:31:35,180 --> 02:31:41,660
Warcraft 3 mod So you'd get like lightning bolts that go along with your m4 shots and stuff like it was I don't know

1856
02:31:41,660 --> 02:31:47,340
There's a totally different one. I mean there were like aim oriented. I know I'm just saying like now a lot of them are like that

1857
02:31:49,580 --> 02:31:52,940
Back then they were weird little fun games

1858
02:31:55,020 --> 02:32:00,780
Like that's not I don't know man. That's not fun to me. That's like another job. Yeah, I tried it once and was like

1859
02:32:02,060 --> 02:32:10,060
I'll just be worse. I guess. Okay crazy Crazy side side tangent or not tangent, but a bit of a reach here. Sure

1860
02:32:11,340 --> 02:32:16,780
Are we attaching more importance to our accomplishment in our hobbies because we're feeling less

1861
02:32:17,740 --> 02:32:19,740
Fulfilled by our work

1862
02:32:23,580 --> 02:32:27,580
Are we looking for fulfillment so likely that it's frustrating

1863
02:32:28,460 --> 02:32:36,460
I can't probably couldn't prove this I think that's right though. I mean there's been there's been so much commentary about how there's no real progression

1864
02:32:36,780 --> 02:32:43,340
You can't not only is there no real progression in your work You're not going to be able to progress in financially in your personal life

1865
02:32:43,340 --> 02:32:47,660
You can't afford to buy a home For example, you can't afford to buy or really own anything

1866
02:32:47,820 --> 02:32:53,740
So is this like people who dress up their dogs and stuff because they can't afford games like it's something to be able to measure

1867
02:32:53,820 --> 02:32:56,940
It's something to be able to grow and be good at achieve

1868
02:32:57,740 --> 02:33:05,260
It's an achievement yeah Maybe definitely maybe I know like there's this there's the whole male pattern anxiety thing

1869
02:33:05,260 --> 02:33:11,740
I don't know enough about this. I might say something wrong Go figure it out yourself. Yeah, go watch a different podcast if you want to hear knowledgeable people

1870
02:33:12,460 --> 02:33:15,660
Yeah, the land show is the land show. It's always going to be the land show

1871
02:33:15,660 --> 02:33:17,660
We talk about ramming

1872
02:33:19,660 --> 02:33:24,700
I mean that we know about The whole male pattern anxiety thing is that uh

1873
02:33:25,980 --> 02:33:29,180
And again, please go look this up. Don't take me at my word, but um

1874
02:33:31,180 --> 02:33:36,860
Average male anxiety and average female anxiety are different things obviously there's there's crossover crossover whatever blah blah blah

1875
02:33:37,340 --> 02:33:40,460
Um But a lot of men tend to get

1876
02:33:41,020 --> 02:33:46,140
Anxiety spikes because of not being able to enact positive change

1877
02:33:47,180 --> 02:33:54,780
um, if they feel like they can't Improve their their environment if they can't improve their work if they if they don't have agency

1878
02:33:55,500 --> 02:33:59,100
to to try to Drive things forward

1879
02:33:59,100 --> 02:34:02,940
Rob dog here says what am I actually even achieving in my 40-hour work week?

1880
02:34:03,580 --> 02:34:07,660
My hobbies I do much better. Yeah, and that's a huge problem for a lot of people. They they have

1881
02:34:08,220 --> 02:34:10,220
I don't know what they're called like ghost jobs or whatever

1882
02:34:11,260 --> 02:34:13,260
Um, that's like a very real thing

1883
02:34:16,140 --> 02:34:21,500
I don't know it sounds pretty likely Sounds pretty likely to me especially with how seriously people

1884
02:34:22,140 --> 02:34:29,020
Approach it because that's the biggest change that I've noticed Yeah, and it's like you could try to be good, but you were playing a game now. It's

1885
02:34:29,660 --> 02:34:35,820
You're trying to be good and it's like Life or death like I was lucky, you know, I um, I happened

1886
02:34:36,060 --> 02:34:39,740
It's not like I planned to work at a company where progression was possible

1887
02:34:40,220 --> 02:34:44,220
Like I got a little lucky. I worked hard. I earned my promotions obviously

1888
02:34:44,700 --> 02:34:50,620
But what I was lucky in being able to do was having the opportunity to earn a promotion

1889
02:34:50,620 --> 02:34:55,980
That's not always possible. Yeah, whether you have an obstructionist boss or whether you just have a corporate structure

1890
02:34:56,380 --> 02:34:59,580
Or a union structure that does that rewards time

1891
02:35:00,140 --> 02:35:05,020
You know rather than just be nowhere up to go. Yeah. Yeah, or you're or you're in a company

1892
02:35:05,100 --> 02:35:10,140
So you you can be in a company that's either too big or too small to properly recognize

1893
02:35:10,300 --> 02:35:17,100
You know the exceptional work you're doing there can be a thousand reasons why career progression is not is not a thing

1894
02:35:17,660 --> 02:35:21,660
um but um

1895
02:35:21,660 --> 02:35:27,900
And so I I don't I don't relate to this but I can understand it if that makes sense like

1896
02:35:28,380 --> 02:35:32,860
What would I have spent my energy on if every day I clocked in

1897
02:35:33,580 --> 02:35:37,820
Did the same damn thing and clocked out

1898
02:35:39,260 --> 02:35:43,420
I'd want to achieve something I'd want to feel like I had power over something

1899
02:35:45,740 --> 02:35:49,020
But like for me my my job is what gives me fulfillment

1900
02:35:49,740 --> 02:35:54,540
But I also have the privilege of having a job that can give me fulfillment

1901
02:35:55,420 --> 02:35:58,780
And I do I think that is a notable

1902
02:35:59,420 --> 02:36:05,580
Not necessarily very common privilege at this point. No, I I I see that and I do think that there's a push and a pull

1903
02:36:05,820 --> 02:36:12,780
I do think for sure part of it is a structural problem And I do think that part of it is an attitude problem. I think that there are there it's a spectrum

1904
02:36:13,020 --> 02:36:17,420
There's going to be cases where it's a hundred percent on the structure of this organization

1905
02:36:17,900 --> 02:36:21,980
I know people in my personal life that I've talked to you about their work life

1906
02:36:22,540 --> 02:36:27,900
And they'll complain about how they they can't progress and then they'll also talk to me about

1907
02:36:29,580 --> 02:36:34,700
The stuff that they do at work and I'm like and there are situations where it's a hundred percent because you're phoning it in

1908
02:36:35,100 --> 02:36:40,940
But I think as is almost always the case the truth probably lies somewhere in between

1909
02:36:43,340 --> 02:36:46,140
Yep for most people. Um, but yeah, it's just

1910
02:36:46,380 --> 02:36:52,300
It's it's made gaming kind of not fun for me to be honest with you

1911
02:36:53,020 --> 02:36:57,260
Because I don't have time to be sweaty and I don't have the wherewithal to be sweaty

1912
02:36:58,300 --> 02:37:03,100
It's also, I mean, we've talked about this extensively on wancho, but the cheating problem is crazy now

1913
02:37:03,180 --> 02:37:07,900
Shroud was fairly recently quoted saying many things in random pickup games on counter strikes

1914
02:37:08,780 --> 02:37:13,420
Encounter strike The the chance that you have a cheater in your lobby is essentially a hundred percent

1915
02:37:14,220 --> 02:37:19,900
Really we we know that effectively to be true with tarakov. Yeah, like if you're playing a shooter game, you're gonna have cheaters

1916
02:37:20,460 --> 02:37:27,020
all over the place It's like cheater be cheated essentially at that point then like it gets just sad pretty brutal

1917
02:37:27,020 --> 02:37:29,660
That's like that's a completely sad state of affairs

1918
02:37:30,140 --> 02:37:35,500
I used to love playing Online shooters and like you you always knew that was a problem that that had been a problem since when we were kids

1919
02:37:35,500 --> 02:37:37,500
but it was

1920
02:37:38,700 --> 02:37:43,740
I don't think I was just Naive to it. I think it was way more blatant

1921
02:37:43,900 --> 02:37:48,940
You were either very obviously cheating or you weren't and now it's like a lot of the cheats are a lot more subtle

1922
02:37:49,820 --> 02:37:57,020
It's like, okay You better situational awareness. Yeah, you can't you can't catch that on a kill cam

1923
02:37:57,100 --> 02:38:03,660
And people are like kind of trained on trying to hide it now Um, like it's it's and and the barrier of entry doesn't exist

1924
02:38:04,140 --> 02:38:07,260
Yeah, I don't even remember the last time a major streamer got caught cheating

1925
02:38:08,220 --> 02:38:13,020
Oh, there's given how many of them got caught cheating in the old days or maybe it just doesn't make headlines anymore

1926
02:38:13,260 --> 02:38:15,900
Yeah, okay. Seriously. There's there's a youtuber that has a

1927
02:38:17,100 --> 02:38:21,100
A series that has very many episodes in it that is just streamers getting caught cheating

1928
02:38:26,380 --> 02:38:29,420
Yeah sad

1929
02:38:29,420 --> 02:38:32,060
It's rough. Well, I think it's time for darn Clara, dude

1930
02:38:32,460 --> 02:38:38,620
How is it that Dan leaves for like 30 seconds every time we actually need him today? Yeah

1931
02:38:39,340 --> 02:38:45,660
Um, okay. Well, why don't we kill time? Well, we wait for when after dark people are talking about netflix being like

1932
02:38:46,140 --> 02:38:51,980
Is there any other topic we need to go over? No, I don't think so the onion one. No, I'm over it

1933
02:38:52,540 --> 02:38:56,620
Um, I just thought it was funny. Yeah, and but it's a it's apparently sort of

1934
02:38:57,260 --> 02:39:01,100
Unresolved now. So got it. We'll let that kind of sort itself out. Yeah

1935
02:39:02,540 --> 02:39:04,540
Oh

1936
02:39:06,060 --> 02:39:10,540
How are you guys doing? How are you doing? I'm all right

1937
02:39:11,260 --> 02:39:14,940
Ankle's how long do you think it'll be? uh

1938
02:39:14,940 --> 02:39:19,180
I sprained my ankle at This dufus's party. Um

1939
02:39:20,140 --> 02:39:23,500
I blame you I blame you fair enough. Um

1940
02:39:24,300 --> 02:39:26,940
Basically what happened was I used to play paintball all the time

1941
02:39:27,580 --> 02:39:31,580
And I scratched a bit of an itch for me. Yeah, it was fun. I well

1942
02:39:31,740 --> 02:39:38,540
Say it was complicated I made I made a concerted effort to have fun. It had it had I

1943
02:39:40,060 --> 02:39:43,340
Go ahead public paintball fields

1944
02:39:43,340 --> 02:39:48,860
I've I've always had a problem. This one had more than I've had before in one game

1945
02:39:49,420 --> 02:39:54,220
I not even speaking for Linus who had a worse experience than I did. I had to replace my

1946
02:39:54,780 --> 02:39:58,540
My uh, you call them markers. I had to replace my my gun my marker

1947
02:39:59,340 --> 02:40:01,340
Three separate times in one game

1948
02:40:02,460 --> 02:40:09,740
That's a little bit of a lot Yeah, especially for how long um, I was waiting for I I had to replace my marker five times across

1949
02:40:10,140 --> 02:40:16,060
Two two matches and I didn't even and I could have replaced it more times for the issues that I was having

1950
02:40:16,300 --> 02:40:21,260
Just like sputtering. Oh, yeah. I mean I had that constantly. I didn't have a single gun that actually worked properly

1951
02:40:21,500 --> 02:40:26,940
but You know the worst that I you would usually have was like every third trigger pull it would actually shoot and then it's like

1952
02:40:26,940 --> 02:40:31,740
Okay, I'll just shoot more in the first round the likes there are the second round of the speedball map. Yes

1953
02:40:32,140 --> 02:40:36,300
Um, I like coordinated with my team. I was like, okay, you and me are going to go this way hard

1954
02:40:36,300 --> 02:40:39,340
We're going to like draw their fire and we're basically just going to like lay down cover

1955
02:40:39,500 --> 02:40:46,460
I saw you guys are going to go this way My marker didn't fire one ball if this might this might pat you on the back too much

1956
02:40:46,540 --> 02:40:49,100
But I saw that movement happen and I knew it was you

1957
02:40:51,100 --> 02:40:56,300
Because like we've played a lot of yeah, we've played paintball together before but we've also played a lot of video games

1958
02:40:56,620 --> 02:41:01,820
So I know the type of like strategizing the Linus will do and I saw like one person hang back at a barrel

1959
02:41:01,820 --> 02:41:07,420
Which I guess was you and I saw I think three or four different people like launch up one side all at the exact same side

1960
02:41:07,420 --> 02:41:12,300
I'm like, that's not normal human movement. That was a plan. I'm pretty sure I know who did that

1961
02:41:12,460 --> 02:41:15,900
So the problem is that because I was shooting blanks

1962
02:41:16,700 --> 02:41:18,700
You know in more ways than one

1963
02:41:20,220 --> 02:41:27,740
There was no reason for anybody to duck Because there was no actual paint landing anywhere near them on that map. Yeah lit me up

1964
02:41:28,780 --> 02:41:35,980
We did start noticing on other maps that even if your gun The fact that when you get to this level strategizing, you know, it's kind of bad, but we noticed that even

1965
02:41:37,180 --> 02:41:44,940
Even if your gun stopped functioning It would still make the noise and you'd get the like puff of like kind of smoky. So people would fake

1966
02:41:47,660 --> 02:41:51,420
Yeah, people would fake and it didn't work when I was on that first map

1967
02:41:51,820 --> 02:41:53,980
People figured out that I wasn't firing anything

1968
02:41:54,860 --> 02:41:58,700
On the first map it was I would have lit up like between four and six people

1969
02:41:58,860 --> 02:42:03,820
I think I was they they were wide open because everyone was looking at my guys that were running up the other side

1970
02:42:03,980 --> 02:42:10,860
It was just stacked oil barrels So on the first map people were ducking away more from the sound of the paintballs hitting the the empty drums

1971
02:42:11,420 --> 02:42:15,260
On the future maps that wasn't a thing. Yes, so it was more effective later on

1972
02:42:15,340 --> 02:42:19,260
Yeah, but but I would have been able to keep everyone's head down and I would have been able to

1973
02:42:19,900 --> 02:42:25,740
Hit like half a dozen people But because I wasn't firing a single shot instead, everyone's like

1974
02:42:27,820 --> 02:42:30,300
And so all these like pubs at the field are like

1975
02:42:31,340 --> 02:42:35,020
They were they were pretty bad and I got up dude. I got I got

1976
02:42:35,660 --> 02:42:40,220
obliterated I got team killed on that map because I was I was so far up on one of the sides

1977
02:42:40,780 --> 02:42:43,820
Trying to get far enough up that I could like

1978
02:42:45,580 --> 02:42:52,700
Shoot you guys broadside basically And I was I was on the side of the barrels because that was actually more defensive than being behind them now

1979
02:42:52,940 --> 02:42:57,580
So I was on the side of the barrel and I I saw one of you But I had to get back around to get an angle

1980
02:42:57,740 --> 02:43:02,540
So I come back around and my chest is facing back at us and just square right in the middle

1981
02:43:03,340 --> 02:43:09,580
Nice and I was like what They were literally at the first barrel next to the spawn never moved ever

1982
02:43:10,300 --> 02:43:13,820
I had one opportunity to shoot someone the whole game and it was me nice

1983
02:43:14,460 --> 02:43:20,780
Okay So anyway back to the story. I used to play all the time and I would just play in whatever like ratty shoes

1984
02:43:20,860 --> 02:43:23,660
I didn't care about destroying. So I never had any traction

1985
02:43:24,620 --> 02:43:29,580
Specifically the organizer of this party Bless her by the way

1986
02:43:29,820 --> 02:43:33,180
Put in the thing. Hey, make sure you wear hiking boots do this do that and I was like, oh, yeah

1987
02:43:33,260 --> 02:43:38,860
I always like I never take my hiking boots for paintball. Uh, that obviously makes sense. I should just put on my hiking boots

1988
02:43:39,900 --> 02:43:44,060
So I brought them Anyway on the second map. I was like trying to do a push

1989
02:43:44,300 --> 02:43:48,460
I was trying to grab a couple of the noobs that had barely fired a shot because they just hung around at the spawn

1990
02:43:48,780 --> 02:43:52,620
And I'll talk about why that is especially stupid at this place and a little bit

1991
02:43:53,180 --> 02:43:57,340
Uh, but they just hung around at the spawn and I was like, okay, come on. Let's go. Let's push. Okay. You guys are with me

1992
02:43:57,340 --> 02:44:00,460
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. And so I was like trying to get up ahead of them

1993
02:44:00,540 --> 02:44:03,420
So that I could kind of cover them to get into a position that would be

1994
02:44:04,140 --> 02:44:07,660
moderately useful And I went sliding into cover

1995
02:44:08,620 --> 02:44:12,540
except I was wearing hiking boots instead of just garbage shoes

1996
02:44:13,500 --> 02:44:18,540
Sudden traction. Yeah. So man, I immediately knew that I was

1997
02:44:19,580 --> 02:44:27,820
very hurt So that's that's why D brand has all those videos of me hobbling around their facility with a cane

1998
02:44:28,540 --> 02:44:32,940
Because I at that point thought it was probably a grade two sprain

1999
02:44:33,500 --> 02:44:36,140
I think now it's just a really bad grade one

2000
02:44:36,780 --> 02:44:40,860
Um, I was on the badminton court last night. So this is about a week later

2001
02:44:41,420 --> 02:44:46,300
and I Would describe my strength as about 30 percent

2002
02:44:46,940 --> 02:44:50,620
And my range of motion is a hundred percent with only a little bit of pain

2003
02:44:50,860 --> 02:44:53,500
But if I try to actually put any load on it, it's probably like

2004
02:44:54,540 --> 02:44:58,220
A four out of ten. Like it's it's still pretty painful. I have a tournament coming up

2005
02:44:58,220 --> 02:45:03,260
So I'm super especially not stoked because I was wanting to be like training a few times a week and like

2006
02:45:04,220 --> 02:45:07,100
Get getting some last minute, you know, feel in

2007
02:45:07,580 --> 02:45:14,940
um, and now I'm just Upset pretty much. Anyway, let's talk about why this field is trash and um,

2008
02:45:16,140 --> 02:45:21,180
I'll be naming names because I'm actually super mad. Yeah, why not? Let's do it. Um, boom get roasted

2009
02:45:22,220 --> 02:45:27,500
Some some of the ways in which delta force paintball in maple ridge is trash

2010
02:45:28,380 --> 02:45:31,900
Are are subjective so

2011
02:45:31,900 --> 02:45:38,620
Um, it's here. Hold on. Let's let's get let's get the right location here. Um, delta force in canada. Hold on

2012
02:45:39,020 --> 02:45:45,740
What what is this? Calgary. Okay, here we go. The other side is maple ridge paintball. So yeah, here we go. Uh, okay

2013
02:45:46,780 --> 02:45:51,820
So, uh, one of some of the reasons that this location is garbage

2014
02:45:52,540 --> 02:45:57,740
Are subjective. Uh, for example, it's a 50 cal field which basically means

2015
02:45:58,300 --> 02:46:04,700
That the the paintballs are smaller for the uninitiated. That's going to sound big because of rifle rounds

2016
02:46:04,860 --> 02:46:09,900
Yeah, but but uh, standard paintballs are 68 cal. So quite a bit larger

2017
02:46:10,300 --> 02:46:14,700
Now the benefit of 50 cal is that it's friendlier for like children

2018
02:46:15,180 --> 02:46:19,340
Um, and people Who are

2019
02:46:19,340 --> 02:46:26,940
um, so that's good It makes it a little bit easier to go do your like stag or corporate event or whatever else there

2020
02:46:27,500 --> 02:46:30,060
Um, but it comes with some very

2021
02:46:30,860 --> 02:46:36,300
objective problems So one of them is that because they have less mass

2022
02:46:37,180 --> 02:46:42,780
They don't carry in a straight line for as long. Yeah. Wow. They were inaccurate. Well, there's multiple issues there

2023
02:46:43,180 --> 02:46:50,460
So, okay, sure. Let's let's talk about the inaccuracy. So they're inaccurate and here are the other contributing factors to the inaccuracy

2024
02:46:50,940 --> 02:46:55,580
Um, I don't I don't know how good the regulators are but none of our air tanks were full

2025
02:46:55,980 --> 02:47:00,620
So they were they were kind of like They were full ish

2026
02:47:00,620 --> 02:47:04,700
Barrels are garbage on those rental markers, which is pretty typical, but they were

2027
02:47:05,580 --> 02:47:09,900
Garbage rental marker barrels and the number three is as far as I could tell

2028
02:47:10,700 --> 02:47:20,620
Looking at their their prep area Their process for like for maintenance and cleaning was to like hose things down essentially

2029
02:47:21,020 --> 02:47:25,340
Um, and like they they'd use a dirty barrel squeegee and be like, okay, you're good to go

2030
02:47:25,340 --> 02:47:29,180
They actually got mad at me for taking my barrel off being like this is wet. They're like, no, it's not

2031
02:47:29,180 --> 02:47:34,620
I'm like, bro. Quite bro. It's it's wet. There's absolutely no possibility

2032
02:47:34,780 --> 02:47:38,700
whatsoever of a paintball coming out of this going in a straight line. It's got in trouble

2033
02:47:38,940 --> 02:47:44,060
Yeah, anyway, snipped out and was like, don't take the barrel out. Um, so so so they're inaccurate

2034
02:47:44,780 --> 02:47:49,660
Problem number two is that they because they have less momentum inertia

2035
02:47:50,140 --> 02:47:53,660
Kinetic energy, let's go with that because they're carrying less kinetic energy

2036
02:47:54,380 --> 02:47:56,700
But they have the same thickness of shell

2037
02:47:57,420 --> 02:48:01,260
With less overall weight and a higher shell to goo ratio

2038
02:48:01,500 --> 02:48:05,820
They're far less likely to break when they hit you. So in many cases they can actually end up hurting more

2039
02:48:06,380 --> 02:48:09,580
One of the maps, uh, the actually the most fun map that we had

2040
02:48:09,580 --> 02:48:15,100
I didn't really like the game modes that we did. It felt designed to well, I can get into that expand your paintballs

2041
02:48:15,180 --> 02:48:20,460
but anyway, um One of the maps was a they call it catch of the flag, but it's really raised the flag

2042
02:48:20,540 --> 02:48:23,020
So you had to pull on a rope and raise a flag

2043
02:48:23,900 --> 02:48:27,820
and One of the the ladies that wasn't in our group

2044
02:48:28,540 --> 02:48:32,540
Ran up to the flag and started pulling it up. My brother just

2045
02:48:32,540 --> 02:48:37,740
Shot a million times and she was like reacting to all the shots, but the paintballs weren't breaking

2046
02:48:38,380 --> 02:48:41,340
And the field rules were if the paintball doesn't break, you're not out. So

2047
02:48:41,980 --> 02:48:45,180
She got shot a ton of times and it probably hurt quite a bit

2048
02:48:45,580 --> 02:48:51,500
But we like won the round Because the paintballs didn't break. My brother was just like what?

2049
02:48:51,980 --> 02:48:57,260
Like anyways for context they were on different teams. Yeah. Yeah. Um, okay

2050
02:48:57,340 --> 02:49:01,900
So that's that's issue number two with 50 cal issue number three

2051
02:49:02,460 --> 02:49:10,620
Is kind of tied into what luke just said where the game modes appeared to be designed to make you expend as much paint as possible

2052
02:49:11,340 --> 02:49:14,940
So they did like constant respawning over longer rounds

2053
02:49:15,500 --> 02:49:19,260
um, they Uh

2054
02:49:19,260 --> 02:49:23,020
Part of this is just new player behavior So I can't really blame the field for it

2055
02:49:23,100 --> 02:49:28,460
But they have you so far away with this paint that is inaccurate and doesn't break that you

2056
02:49:29,340 --> 02:49:33,340
Because you're a novice player and you don't understand you have to get closer to actually get it get a kill

2057
02:49:33,500 --> 02:49:36,860
It was also difficult because I find the the 50 cal

2058
02:49:37,580 --> 02:49:43,260
It was really hard to tell on the first map the speedball map You could kind of tell if you were hitting because you could hear it hit the drums

2059
02:49:43,660 --> 02:49:50,860
But it's so hard to see like Normal paintball whatever it makes a big mark normal to me paintball. You can see a big mark

2060
02:49:50,940 --> 02:49:56,300
68 cal is normal. I can also often see the projectile. I feel like yeah, like I can tell if I'm firing properly

2061
02:49:56,620 --> 02:49:59,980
With the 50 cal I couldn't tell if I was hitting or not

2062
02:49:59,980 --> 02:50:03,420
So I had to kind of like shoot at someone for a little while and be like no, okay

2063
02:50:03,420 --> 02:50:07,740
I think they're out of range and then move closer um, so so

2064
02:50:07,820 --> 02:50:12,940
Now problem number three is that you can fit so many paintballs into your into your hopper

2065
02:50:13,020 --> 02:50:16,060
That it's easy to just like use everything without really thinking about it

2066
02:50:16,140 --> 02:50:19,580
But that's that's as much a you know a player issue as it is anything else

2067
02:50:19,980 --> 02:50:28,380
My my let's call this my real number three is that because 50 cal is a bulls*** standard that nobody uses except crappy

2068
02:50:29,660 --> 02:50:36,620
Fields for like crappy rental markers There's a handful of conversion kits that i'm aware of but for the most part

2069
02:50:37,260 --> 02:50:43,740
None of the custom decent equipment and I don't even mean high-end stuff like I never had a high-end marker

2070
02:50:43,820 --> 02:50:47,900
I have an a5. It's just like a A beater

2071
02:50:47,900 --> 02:50:52,860
Huck it into the back of the car pretty standard like drop it in the mud and pull it out

2072
02:50:53,340 --> 02:50:57,820
Wipe it down and keep going marker um tipman. Yeah tipman a5

2073
02:50:59,740 --> 02:51:03,420
No decent marker is available in 50 cal

2074
02:51:03,740 --> 02:51:11,340
No decent barrels are available in 50 cal So I do understand why fields want to disincentivize

2075
02:51:11,900 --> 02:51:17,740
These like gravy seals from showing up at the field with their fully auto. That can be very annoying

2076
02:51:17,820 --> 02:51:25,180
They're fully auto markers. They're crew of everybody in you know camo head to toe with a case of paint each and just like

2077
02:51:26,940 --> 02:51:31,740
Light everybody up like that's not fun for new players. It kind of destroys the balance of the game

2078
02:51:31,820 --> 02:51:36,860
I I 100% get that but the flip side is I can't even use

2079
02:51:37,820 --> 02:51:47,500
Anything that fires reliably Because like I had my a5 in my trunk. It literally can't even use it because of their garbage field and their garbage 50 cal

2080
02:51:47,660 --> 02:51:50,220
Markers. Yeah, so so those are my issues with 50 cal

2081
02:51:51,100 --> 02:51:58,700
My issues with the field are many They do have pricing on their website. You can you can see if you go into pricing you can uh

2082
02:51:59,340 --> 02:52:04,940
Hold on. Hello There's probably a lot of people on it right now. Yeah, so there's uh, there's there's okay. Hold on me

2083
02:52:04,940 --> 02:52:09,500
So we've got packages so you can have a look at adult paintball prices prices. So you can see

2084
02:52:10,220 --> 02:52:16,060
Here's your 1999 admission includes four to five action packed games. Blah blah blah blah blah blah

2085
02:52:16,540 --> 02:52:22,380
Uh, oh packages on the day. Oh, you can get the recruit pack commando pack black ops pack pack shows you all the things

2086
02:52:22,380 --> 02:52:24,940
You get gloves a green guard blah blah blah gets all this stuff

2087
02:52:26,700 --> 02:52:33,500
Sorry, what A half case for 160 canadian dollars

2088
02:52:34,220 --> 02:52:39,020
Yeah They don't they they warn you they tell you on the day

2089
02:52:39,180 --> 02:52:43,100
Remember I was with a group and a lot of people will be I mean so I was there with a group

2090
02:52:43,180 --> 02:52:49,740
So they tell you on the day even happened. I didn't hear it the paint is it cost more after after your first round

2091
02:52:50,300 --> 02:52:56,220
So you got to buy your package ahead of time But what they don't tell you is that everyone in your group has to buy the same package

2092
02:52:56,300 --> 02:52:59,980
So if not, everybody wants a black ops pack with a thousand paintballs

2093
02:53:00,540 --> 02:53:07,740
um T s and 500 rounds sounds like a ton until your guns are incredibly

2094
02:53:07,900 --> 02:53:12,220
The basic recruit pack. Yeah until your guns are incredibly inaccurate and they have no range

2095
02:53:12,540 --> 02:53:18,540
So you're like test firing 80 of your rounds and your guns are incredibly not 80 but a lot

2096
02:53:18,940 --> 02:53:23,180
And your guns are incredibly inconsistent. So you can't actually tell if they're even working or not half the time

2097
02:53:23,420 --> 02:53:25,420
So you end up over firing a ton

2098
02:53:26,620 --> 02:53:32,060
And I'm going to get to the very worst part. So the paint is ludicrously expensive, which again

2099
02:53:32,620 --> 02:53:36,780
I actually do understand the argument that I've heard for expensive paint at

2100
02:53:38,220 --> 02:53:45,020
Friendlier fields is that if you have those guys with their fully auto markers showing up and essentially playing speed ball

2101
02:53:45,100 --> 02:53:49,820
With kind of nerf them a little bit with fish in a barrel You're you're basically trying to make it. So it's like

2102
02:53:50,540 --> 02:53:56,380
Ding nickel nickel It makes people theoretically conserve conserve ammunition

2103
02:53:56,780 --> 02:54:00,220
And it makes those like speedballer guys avoid those fields, which

2104
02:54:00,860 --> 02:54:05,740
Is a more noob friendly environment or a more intermediate friendly environment

2105
02:54:05,740 --> 02:54:10,860
So different fields are tailored to different groups and there will be days at some of the good fields

2106
02:54:10,860 --> 02:54:14,620
I doubt delta force does this but there will be days at some of the good fields where it'll be like

2107
02:54:15,020 --> 02:54:19,580
Bring your own gun only day and the paint's cheaper. For example

2108
02:54:21,180 --> 02:54:28,860
So I so i'm on board with that but 160 plus tax. So the the total charge to my credit card was 180

2109
02:54:30,060 --> 02:54:34,300
For a thousand rounds is

2110
02:54:34,300 --> 02:54:37,660
Utterly ludicrous. It's crazy pricing

2111
02:54:38,460 --> 02:54:42,780
Ludicrous they couldn't even give me a full case for that. They gave me half a case

2112
02:54:43,660 --> 02:54:49,580
um And like there's a bunch of stuff that comes with it if you buy ahead of time and if you buy it after the fact

2113
02:54:49,580 --> 02:54:53,660
You just get the paint and then you go. Holy crap. That's expensive

2114
02:54:53,660 --> 02:54:56,300
Then they throw in like a couple little random little extra things

2115
02:54:57,500 --> 02:54:59,660
like here is for um

2116
02:55:00,780 --> 02:55:07,020
Here's for context. Here's a 2000 count case of marbolizer from empire

2117
02:55:07,340 --> 02:55:11,740
Which I don't know if this is premium paint. It probably isn't but I recognize the brand

2118
02:55:11,820 --> 02:55:16,140
I haven't really played in a long time. So whatever the point is $65

2119
02:55:16,940 --> 02:55:25,580
So the markup on their cheap ass 50 cal. Remember less paint even the markup on their cheap ass 50 cal

2120
02:55:25,900 --> 02:55:33,500
Compared to badlands is what what's the math on this? So it'd be like $32.50 for a thousand at badlands

2121
02:55:33,820 --> 02:55:39,020
So they're essentially charging me. What does that work out to like five times the price?

2122
02:55:39,980 --> 02:55:45,100
Ridiculous And I haven't even told you guys the worst part

2123
02:55:45,900 --> 02:55:49,900
um They don't count headshots

2124
02:55:50,860 --> 02:55:58,380
That is Beyond a shadow of a doubt designed to make it so that you just

2125
02:55:59,100 --> 02:56:04,060
Are plink plink plink wasting paint at each other because marker shots count

2126
02:56:04,700 --> 02:56:08,060
But headshots and they didn't even mention that I had to ask. Yeah

2127
02:56:08,780 --> 02:56:10,780
Yeah, headshots do not count

2128
02:56:13,420 --> 02:56:16,300
75 percent of the exposed

2129
02:56:18,140 --> 02:56:21,580
Opponent Is their head?

2130
02:56:21,580 --> 02:56:27,900
All you see is a hopper a barrel, which you're not hitting with these useless markers. Yeah, definitely not and their head

2131
02:56:28,940 --> 02:56:35,020
Yeah So pretty much also the the safety never go there the safety presentation

2132
02:56:35,900 --> 02:56:40,220
Sales pitch. I don't remember anything that was about safety other sales pitch shots don't count and then

2133
02:56:41,500 --> 02:56:44,860
And I don't think I'm exaggerating this time 80 percent of it was a sales pitch or more

2134
02:56:46,540 --> 02:56:50,460
Crazy crazy crazy crazy that being said and I was also to know

2135
02:56:50,940 --> 02:56:56,940
Uh positives of the field itself. I had a pretty great time. Yeah. Yeah, I just because paintball is just fun

2136
02:56:57,340 --> 02:57:04,060
running around in a field With an objective is fun. I got pretty mad about the number of times that my marker didn't work

2137
02:57:04,300 --> 02:57:09,740
Yeah, and I had just bought a case of paint for the group. So I had just spent like almost 200 dollars

2138
02:57:10,700 --> 02:57:13,980
And I sat out for probably a third of that round

2139
02:57:14,540 --> 02:57:20,300
Um, I should probably more just like waiting around for like a replacement mark because so many people were getting replacements

2140
02:57:20,700 --> 02:57:26,140
So I walked off. I was basically like, look, I think that I should get a I should get a partial refund with all due respect

2141
02:57:26,540 --> 02:57:33,900
This is you can even play you only get three rounds. You can't play This is this is ridiculous. Um, I've had to replace my marker five times

2142
02:57:34,140 --> 02:57:39,740
over One and a half rounds at this point because I walked off during the middle of the second round. I was like, this is ridiculous

2143
02:57:40,300 --> 02:57:46,220
Um, and also I had hurt my ankle. So I was like, I yeah, I I think I should get a partial refund. Like I'm done

2144
02:57:46,860 --> 02:57:52,300
Um, and it wasn't even my money for the refund. Like it would have gone to the organizer who bless her

2145
02:57:52,940 --> 02:57:56,140
Did an amazing job of putting together an extremely special

2146
02:57:56,700 --> 02:57:59,980
Party for which was really cool. Generally really freaking

2147
02:58:00,700 --> 02:58:04,460
Um, yeah, so so anyway, and they were basically just like

2148
02:58:05,340 --> 02:58:11,340
No We're not interested. They blamed it on the weather after buying the expensive case

2149
02:58:11,660 --> 02:58:15,420
And I have played plenty in adverse weather conditions

2150
02:58:16,060 --> 02:58:21,980
If your markers are maintained properly and not complete garbage in the first place, they will operate

2151
02:58:22,700 --> 02:58:29,020
Just fine on a misty day like we had like yeah, if you don't clean or dry anything

2152
02:58:29,420 --> 02:58:32,780
Yeah, obviously like, you know balls are gonna curve or whatever else

2153
02:58:33,100 --> 02:58:39,980
But the way the guns were not firing at all Or they were sputtering and you'd cock them back and there's just like so much

2154
02:58:40,380 --> 02:58:45,660
Paint casing just like caked into these things that you can't even you can't even properly pull the bolt all the way back

2155
02:58:45,740 --> 02:58:49,740
Or it'll go all the way back and it'll get wedged there and stuff like it's just poor maintenance

2156
02:58:50,620 --> 02:58:55,980
Don't tell me that it's because it's misting and also if it's misting in vancouver

2157
02:58:56,140 --> 02:58:59,340
That's a pretty normal condition. So you should probably account for it

2158
02:59:00,140 --> 02:59:04,780
So, yeah, I I left them an absolutely scathing review on google maps and

2159
02:59:05,660 --> 02:59:07,660
F*** you delta force paintball

2160
02:59:09,260 --> 02:59:14,540
There's also, I don't know if you were there when we figured this out, but a bunch of the google reviews talk about how they

2161
02:59:15,500 --> 02:59:22,380
Incentivize leaving five star reviews Yeah, they have no like access to free water on site. They don't have running water

2162
02:59:22,620 --> 02:59:26,780
And they'll give you bottled water if you leave a five star review right in front of them. Yeah

2163
02:59:27,660 --> 02:59:31,420
So some of the negative reviews point that out. They're like, don't believe the five star reviews

2164
02:59:31,500 --> 02:59:36,220
They tried to get us to give them a positive review By like essentially bribing us with free water

2165
02:59:36,780 --> 02:59:39,340
Yeah, because like I've I haven't gone paintballing

2166
02:59:39,900 --> 02:59:44,300
Very much, but I've gone some amount of times probably half the amount of times I've gone have been with Linus

2167
02:59:44,940 --> 02:59:47,740
But I haven't had a field experience that bad before

2168
02:59:48,060 --> 02:59:53,660
So I was stunned when I saw the rating was so high and then somebody in the group found that they had uh

2169
02:59:54,780 --> 02:59:58,060
Yeah, there was a bunch a bunch of the low rating reviews were like

2170
02:59:58,140 --> 03:00:05,500
I saw someone leaving a five star review because of getting a free bottle of water or or whatever else. Um, which is like

2171
03:00:06,940 --> 03:00:10,460
Ridiculous because it's effectively a paid review at that point. Um

2172
03:00:10,620 --> 03:00:15,180
Um Yeah, anyways apparently the fight's starting

2173
03:00:15,900 --> 03:00:18,940
So should we just give up on retaining people on wancho at this point?

2174
03:00:20,380 --> 03:00:23,900
Probably 8 30. Yeah, I gotta go in one minute. Oh, yeah, right

2175
03:00:24,460 --> 03:00:27,900
Okay, Dan. Do you have any merge messages for us to kind of blow through here? Yeah, sure

2176
03:00:28,140 --> 03:00:31,260
Uh, let me do the after dark way. Are you getting in position there? Heck, yeah

2177
03:00:31,580 --> 03:00:37,100
Uh greetings dll waiting for cargo pants to come back in 32

2178
03:00:37,340 --> 03:00:43,100
I was wondering why LTT on the youtube mobile app has picture-in-picture without a premium membership

2179
03:00:43,420 --> 03:00:52,220
Can't do this on any other youtube channel Apparently it was like a pilot program that they applied to our channel or something. That's what I that's what I saw on reddit

2180
03:00:52,620 --> 03:00:55,020
I don't actually know anything about this. I don't remember anything

2181
03:00:56,060 --> 03:00:59,420
So there you go. By the way, I got you something me. Yeah

2182
03:00:59,500 --> 03:01:07,260
Yeah Your sweater, what is this? Oh my god, this is horrible. I suck

2183
03:01:11,020 --> 03:01:13,020
Oh nice

2184
03:01:14,460 --> 03:01:16,940
Nice these coffee zilla

2185
03:01:17,660 --> 03:01:22,700
Uh shirts arrived a thousand years ago. They've just been sitting on set and they've just been sitting on the set

2186
03:01:22,780 --> 03:01:28,060
I keep forgetting to bring them out. Um, so this was from the speaking of the paul brothers

2187
03:01:28,540 --> 03:01:31,340
Um, this is funding coffee zilla's

2188
03:01:33,020 --> 03:01:36,700
Legal battle with which which paul is he fighting with?

2189
03:01:37,980 --> 03:01:42,380
I think it's logan paul coffee zilla. Yeah, logan paul. Yeah, it's logan paul

2190
03:01:42,380 --> 03:01:48,140
So the the one that isn't fighting mike tyson. So, uh, there you go and it says, um

2191
03:01:49,260 --> 03:01:57,580
I used to like coffee zilla Until he investigated me, which I thought was pretty funny because he actually did upload an investigation of me at one point

2192
03:01:57,580 --> 03:01:59,580
But I still like him

2193
03:02:01,820 --> 03:02:07,260
I went to microsoft recently and I noticed the OLED monitors looked much worse than the OLED tvs

2194
03:02:07,420 --> 03:02:14,380
I see on display at cosco Is this a Windows issue or OLED panels? Just that difference. It's probably a Windows HDR issue. Um

2195
03:02:15,020 --> 03:02:17,260
OLED monitors should look pretty good

2196
03:02:18,380 --> 03:02:23,340
Might might have been a content issue as well. Not everyone setting up a retail display knows what the crap they're doing

2197
03:02:24,300 --> 03:02:28,380
Long time listener first time merch messenger. I don't think we're calling them out anymore, but okay

2198
03:02:28,940 --> 03:02:33,740
How has your experience been maintaining both a forum versus a discord server?

2199
03:02:33,900 --> 03:02:38,700
What led to the creation of the LTT discord? We don't really maintain the discord server

2200
03:02:41,740 --> 03:02:47,820
To my knowledge Um, I prefer forums. I never really go on the discord, but I still use the forum

2201
03:02:50,540 --> 03:02:52,700
I've been on the discord a couple times I think

2202
03:02:53,740 --> 03:02:57,740
I don't know. It just kind of moves too fast for me. I'm too old. There's there's the Floatplane chat on the discord

2203
03:02:58,140 --> 03:03:05,580
So I lurk that But I am I'm traditionally a lurker like ocn back in the day ncx forums back in the day all that kind of stuff

2204
03:03:05,660 --> 03:03:10,620
I didn't really post much just kind of hung around long time listener first time

2205
03:03:13,180 --> 03:03:22,860
Love it Thanks Floatplane chat. They're one of the chats of all time. Hey the genius bird whisperer and Linus

2206
03:03:23,340 --> 03:03:25,660
Get a butter up the curator

2207
03:03:27,580 --> 03:03:36,460
Well, it worked No, I hate that To Linus genius bird whisperer. Do you really just reheat your family's friday night dinner when wan goes really long?

2208
03:03:36,860 --> 03:03:42,060
Um, I mean friday. I'm never there for dinner. So realistically that's one of the nights that they have something

2209
03:03:42,060 --> 03:03:45,180
I don't like so I'll just like have breakfast cereal for dinner

2210
03:03:45,660 --> 03:03:49,660
I'll make I'll make like a I'll make like a tray of like cheese triskets

2211
03:03:49,900 --> 03:03:53,100
I have food prep. So I go to the fridge and go into microwave

2212
03:03:53,340 --> 03:03:58,140
three minutes Cottage cheese

2213
03:03:58,780 --> 03:04:02,140
I think I'd rather die than eat cottage cheese cottage cheese chicken

2214
03:04:02,300 --> 03:04:06,540
It actually has the consistency of vomit and I can't I can't abide it. What's the name of

2215
03:04:07,500 --> 03:04:09,900
bok choy cottage cheese chicken rice

2216
03:04:11,500 --> 03:04:17,180
frank's red Terrible add the frank's red good. Huh interesting

2217
03:04:17,260 --> 03:04:25,980
Hi LL and Dan it's the day of my cousin's wedding and I got a cold just to mess with my day

2218
03:04:26,540 --> 03:04:31,660
What's the most inconvenient time you've gotten sick at the wedding reception right now? It's a hoot

2219
03:04:33,020 --> 03:04:40,060
Inconvenient the most recent scrapyard wars. Oh, yeah, I'm super inconvenient. Let's start inconvenient time. I've gotten sick

2220
03:04:40,780 --> 03:04:44,620
Uh Was I sick at LTX once?

2221
03:04:45,580 --> 03:04:51,980
I'm not sure. I don't remember. I just uh, I don't have time to be sick. So it's um

2222
03:04:52,780 --> 03:05:01,180
Like I usually just work through it Um, I did take a sick day this week, but that's pretty like one that is pretty unusual wasn't it monday?

2223
03:05:02,140 --> 03:05:05,100
Uh, does that even count if it was monday? Yeah monday is my work from home day

2224
03:05:05,180 --> 03:05:09,900
But I was supposed to be in office this monday. I think no no I no I was at D brand this monday

2225
03:05:10,620 --> 03:05:14,780
I was in Toronto this monday and I was uh, still not feeling a hundred percent, but I just

2226
03:05:16,140 --> 03:05:24,780
Yeah Uh, no it was last friday and I just still came in for wancho. Oh, yeah, I think that was it or maybe it was thursday

2227
03:05:24,860 --> 03:05:26,860
I don't know the point is um

2228
03:05:27,980 --> 03:05:29,980
Inconvenient sickness

2229
03:05:31,500 --> 03:05:38,620
There's some really funny videos I think there was like an ASUS monitor video from years and years ago where like my voice is like super long like

2230
03:05:38,940 --> 03:05:43,020
frog croaky Uh, I missed a shoot on thursday. That's what that's what it was last week

2231
03:05:43,020 --> 03:05:47,500
I missed a shoot on thursday because I was sick and we've actually got a clip of me calling in sick

2232
03:05:47,660 --> 03:05:51,580
Yvonne's got her phone next to me. My voice is hilarious

2233
03:05:52,220 --> 03:05:55,740
Like it's one of those situations where when you call in sick

2234
03:05:56,940 --> 03:06:02,620
You call and you say hello and your boss is like, oh, you're sick. See you in a bit. Yeah. Yeah, like I sounded

2235
03:06:03,420 --> 03:06:07,420
Horrible. It was a different era. You know pre-covid was actually a very different time

2236
03:06:07,500 --> 03:06:11,580
It's hard to reframe and remember what things were like. So I'm just prefacing it with that

2237
03:06:11,660 --> 03:06:14,780
But at one of the packs east I was sick

2238
03:06:15,420 --> 03:06:17,980
Uh, and I didn't know about, you know

2239
03:06:19,660 --> 03:06:25,660
syrup at that time And I don't think, you know, I had enough to do anything like that, but I had uh

2240
03:06:26,780 --> 03:06:30,460
buckles Oh, boy, and oh

2241
03:06:30,700 --> 03:06:34,620
candy little uh sugar candy o-ring looking things

2242
03:06:35,180 --> 03:06:40,540
And before every major take I would take some buckles in an o-ring

2243
03:06:42,540 --> 03:06:45,900
And then I'd just go for it and I was just one shotting every single video

2244
03:06:46,220 --> 03:06:48,700
So every major take was essentially a whole video

2245
03:06:49,340 --> 03:06:55,020
And then we would we would go to the next one and then like I couldn't talk and then I would take some some buckles

2246
03:06:55,740 --> 03:07:02,540
and Eat the gummy so that I could get rid of the like cringe basically and then just send it and do another video

2247
03:07:02,700 --> 03:07:07,340
I thought you were just slamming lean. We we did basically you had a crazy. Yeah

2248
03:07:09,420 --> 03:07:11,980
I don't think it was enough to like actually do anything. Wow

2249
03:07:13,100 --> 03:07:19,420
Because I was just taking like little little bits. I don't I don't think there's enough. Um years later

2250
03:07:19,500 --> 03:07:22,300
I heard about that and was like, huh, that's just what you do

2251
03:07:24,140 --> 03:07:29,660
I wonder if that affected me. Um, I again, I don't think it was actually enough to to really do anything

2252
03:07:29,820 --> 03:07:35,740
You need very specific brands of coding sort of But you like I don't know anything about this and shut up. You couldn't understand

2253
03:07:36,540 --> 03:07:41,660
Me talking and I had to host videos and there wasn't really another solution. I wasn't going to not host the videos

2254
03:07:41,980 --> 03:07:46,860
So it was like, okay We're just doing it. I think what's like a crazy thing

2255
03:07:46,940 --> 03:07:51,820
I've missed because of being sick, but nothing comes to mind. I also just have a mind like a sieve

2256
03:07:51,900 --> 03:08:03,420
So who knows for certain things Hey everyone my company is currently running an insane cost savings program and cut our Microsoft office licenses to browser use only

2257
03:08:03,820 --> 03:08:09,820
What are your thoughts on cost savings that result in unproductivity? Well, they aren't really cost savings then are they? Yeah

2258
03:08:10,540 --> 03:08:12,540
You're shifting expenses

2259
03:08:13,740 --> 03:08:20,060
Um I mean it is a big decrease in cost, but it's a big decrease in cost of like 10 bucks a person

2260
03:08:21,020 --> 03:08:26,940
So per month Yeah, and it so it so it depends on like what you're doing. Um, it also depends like

2261
03:08:28,220 --> 03:08:32,860
Not to call you out in certain cases. It could be a user issue or like the browser thing might be fine

2262
03:08:33,020 --> 03:08:37,580
Now if you're doing advanced stuff with excel, that is not true

2263
03:08:38,460 --> 03:08:43,820
The local version just is better. Um, so I don't know for you. Maybe it is actually nerfing you

2264
03:08:43,900 --> 03:08:46,300
but you know, I think sometimes people just hate change

2265
03:08:47,100 --> 03:08:52,220
And there's a significantly cheaper way to do certain things and sometimes you just got to kind of catch up

2266
03:08:52,300 --> 03:08:54,300
I think both can be true. Um

2267
03:08:57,020 --> 03:08:59,500
Yeah, I can also understand like if an employer is

2268
03:09:01,180 --> 03:09:07,260
Better to cut office than to cut exactly if they're having a really hard time making ends meet for a while

2269
03:09:07,340 --> 03:09:13,740
And they're like well, then you might want to be pretty supportive of the cost saving measures that are that don't involve people

2270
03:09:13,820 --> 03:09:18,380
yeah, so like Trying to make it work. That's all I can really say

2271
03:09:19,100 --> 03:09:27,580
Hi DLL. I just built an mffpc with a btf motherboard. There are very few cases and even fewer motherboards that support this standard

2272
03:09:27,980 --> 03:09:33,180
What do you all think about the btf standard? Is it a dead tech? I hope it's not dead. I think it's kind of cool

2273
03:09:33,500 --> 03:09:38,540
um, it seems to be more of a thing in china than it is in north america, but um

2274
03:09:39,500 --> 03:09:44,700
I yeah, I guess we'll I guess the only only time will tell the good news is that if you buy a case

2275
03:09:45,180 --> 03:09:50,620
Um, oh most of the ones that I've seen that are back-to-front compatible with the rear connectors like on the back side

2276
03:09:51,020 --> 03:09:59,180
Uh are also compatible with regular boards So you can build a btf system now and then you can just put a regular motherboard in your case if it doesn't end up being a thing

2277
03:09:59,260 --> 03:10:02,860
So it's it's something that doesn't really cost anything to buy into

2278
03:10:03,660 --> 03:10:08,540
Other than just that it limits your case selection I think it's cool though

2279
03:10:09,180 --> 03:10:11,180
What's up with

2280
03:10:12,700 --> 03:10:18,460
Sorry, what's up with all these one-time drops recently like the dip die hoodie not having restocks

2281
03:10:18,700 --> 03:10:26,140
Um, also any plans to do classic t-shirts again. I don't know. I think we uh, I think we struggle sometimes especially with apparel to

2282
03:10:27,580 --> 03:10:33,020
um to turn one-time buys into run rate business

2283
03:10:33,500 --> 03:10:38,540
And uh, I think part of the problem has been that our skew mix got too broad for a while there

2284
03:10:39,180 --> 03:10:46,220
Part of the problem is that we still have a lot to learn about marketing that isn't just leveraging our social channels and our youtube channels

2285
03:10:46,940 --> 03:10:50,700
um But the reality of it is those items that

2286
03:10:51,340 --> 03:10:55,180
We sell through and then don't restock we don't restock because they

2287
03:10:55,900 --> 03:10:58,380
Just don't have the demand to sustain another

2288
03:10:59,020 --> 03:11:05,580
Order at the at the large minimum order quantities. I think people underestimate how many of something you have to order when you're not

2289
03:11:06,380 --> 03:11:10,220
Just like paying slave wages to some poor temmyu schlub

2290
03:11:11,500 --> 03:11:16,460
to to to effectively like carbon copy one-offs, you know like

2291
03:11:17,100 --> 03:11:23,340
Uh, we can't just make 30 of something. We we have to make 3 000 of something

2292
03:11:23,420 --> 03:11:27,580
So if if it takes us five months to move through them, we're not going to reorder them

2293
03:11:28,540 --> 03:11:30,540
I

2294
03:11:32,060 --> 03:11:38,780
Hi lld I think I remember luke mentioning the possibility of a creator warehouse gym bag any updates on whether this is still

2295
03:11:39,100 --> 03:11:43,420
He said he wanted one. Uh, we are not working on that right now. Why not?

2296
03:11:43,900 --> 03:11:47,660
Um, because we can only defend yourself. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine

2297
03:11:48,380 --> 03:11:53,020
Uh, hey lld as long as you spend all your time working on 12 shirts. Uh, hey lld my work

2298
03:11:53,820 --> 03:12:02,220
Did a team building exercise and got me thinking What's the most surprising thing you've learned about yourself since starting LTT and how has it impacted your choices from

2299
03:12:02,940 --> 03:12:04,940
for the brand

2300
03:12:06,060 --> 03:12:10,140
We're approaching We're not that far away

2301
03:12:10,380 --> 03:12:14,060
It's not that close, but we're not that far away from this being half of

2302
03:12:15,340 --> 03:12:24,780
our lives so Almost everything. Yeah, I mean most of my adult life is Linus media group now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

2303
03:12:25,340 --> 03:12:28,220
You know, it's kind of crazy to think about it that way, but it's totally true

2304
03:12:28,780 --> 03:12:31,420
More than half of my life is Yvonne era

2305
03:12:32,140 --> 03:12:34,380
and more than half of my adult life is

2306
03:12:35,980 --> 03:12:37,980
LMG era so, um

2307
03:12:40,380 --> 03:12:44,700
You had a career level job before this I didn't even this is my first career level job

2308
03:12:44,940 --> 03:12:48,780
This is technically my first job out of post-secondary

2309
03:12:48,940 --> 03:12:52,060
I think it's kind of cool that we think of it as a career level job now

2310
03:12:52,140 --> 03:12:55,260
You know, that wasn't how we felt about it in the early days. That is very true

2311
03:12:56,140 --> 03:12:58,540
Um, that's an achievement unlocked. I suppose

2312
03:13:00,060 --> 03:13:03,500
Yeah, man, what did we what did we learn about ourselves?

2313
03:13:07,740 --> 03:13:10,940
I had to I had a lot of growing up to do

2314
03:13:12,940 --> 03:13:19,740
Me too That was that was a big thing for me. I had to kind of like tear down a version of myself and sort of rebuild

2315
03:13:20,300 --> 03:13:25,900
Yeah, so I was like certain ways that I'm like reacting to things certain ways that I'm dealing with certain problems are just like not

2316
03:13:26,460 --> 03:13:32,220
cool Like I need to fix this and that was not the easiest thing in the world, but I think I more or less did it

2317
03:13:32,620 --> 03:13:35,260
Um, and that was largely driven by

2318
03:13:36,700 --> 03:13:41,180
work To be honest, I've definitely made observations

2319
03:13:41,500 --> 03:13:45,660
But I don't know how many of them I didn't know because to Luke's point

2320
03:13:45,740 --> 03:13:51,020
I had a job before like I even had like a somewhat of a leadership position before

2321
03:13:55,260 --> 03:14:00,860
I've definitely had a lot of things confirmed. I have I I don't suffer fools. Well, I uh

2322
03:14:01,660 --> 03:14:04,220
I'm can be a bit of a control freak. Those two things are

2323
03:14:05,260 --> 03:14:09,660
Pretty limited both of those though That wasn't a learning experience

2324
03:14:09,740 --> 03:14:11,740
Like a lot of the reason that we started LMG

2325
03:14:14,140 --> 03:14:17,980
I didn't want to work for someone who wasn't um you

2326
03:14:17,980 --> 03:14:22,860
a mentor And didn't I believe have the capacity to be a mentor

2327
03:14:23,900 --> 03:14:30,780
um Someone said you've previously previously shared that you get hype about big challenges. Yeah, but I already knew that

2328
03:14:31,100 --> 03:14:34,140
Yeah, um, yeah, he definitely knew that like a lot of

2329
03:14:34,540 --> 03:14:39,340
Core parts of who I am already already knew like I I would like to think that by the time you hit

2330
03:14:39,980 --> 03:14:42,700
Your 20s you kind of know who you are as a person. I've

2331
03:14:44,220 --> 03:14:49,980
In some ways learned to be way more patient and keep my cards closer to my chest

2332
03:14:50,540 --> 03:14:56,780
But in other ways, I've completely lost my patience because I've just seen everything so many times like

2333
03:14:57,820 --> 03:15:01,340
Like I can in in ways that only business owners

2334
03:15:01,900 --> 03:15:04,300
Can understand I have seen

2335
03:15:06,060 --> 03:15:10,860
I have seen so many train wrecks that the second

2336
03:15:11,100 --> 03:15:13,100
The locomotive goes on the rails

2337
03:15:14,140 --> 03:15:17,260
I know what's going to happen and it can be very frustrating for me

2338
03:15:18,220 --> 03:15:22,940
To watch everybody else Go let's see how it plays out. Um

2339
03:15:24,780 --> 03:15:27,900
You know you and and pain is nature's teacher, right? So

2340
03:15:28,620 --> 03:15:36,860
So I need to let it happen I've learned these lessons through pain and I understand that the only way other people can properly learn them is through pain

2341
03:15:37,420 --> 03:15:41,660
um, but it it can be exhausting to to not have people just

2342
03:15:45,020 --> 03:15:51,820
Listen, um But it doesn't work that way people have to learn for themselves and and what's frustrating

2343
03:15:51,900 --> 03:15:55,580
It's literally a management tactic where you have to kind of pick your battles there where if if you think

2344
03:15:56,060 --> 03:16:01,980
Okay, I am 99% sure this is going to fail. They really want to try it. I don't think the impact on this is going to be super big

2345
03:16:02,780 --> 03:16:07,580
Okay, and and what's really frustrating though is like as a business owner, right is that

2346
03:16:08,220 --> 03:16:11,260
They're their fail pain is not real

2347
03:16:12,060 --> 03:16:16,460
it's just like Oh, I am I am I am morale sad

2348
03:16:16,940 --> 03:16:21,660
It didn't hit their wallet, you know, they take home the same pay that day in a lot of cases

2349
03:16:22,620 --> 03:16:27,180
Um, there's also the equal and opposite of that though is when they have huge successes. It also doesn't hit their wallet

2350
03:16:27,180 --> 03:16:30,140
Yeah, that's true. I mean, that's that's the dynamic, right?

2351
03:16:30,220 --> 03:16:33,660
That's why that's why a lot of people decide to take the paycheck

2352
03:16:34,220 --> 03:16:39,420
And why fewer people decide to take the entrepreneurial path insulated from the ups and downs. Yep

2353
03:16:40,780 --> 03:16:45,580
Not entirely. Yeah, but day to day. Yeah in a in a big way

2354
03:16:45,820 --> 03:16:47,820
Okay

2355
03:16:50,700 --> 03:16:55,580
Next sure thing. Hey DLL. You all got me buying hoodies every week. Let's go

2356
03:16:56,540 --> 03:17:04,300
Uh, the phone pocket is so nice Who at LTT came up with it? And what other neat features have you creators come up with?

2357
03:17:04,780 --> 03:17:11,740
And uh, their dishwasher is still broken apparently. Oh, you should probably spend money on your dishwasher instead of an $80 hoodie, but um

2358
03:17:12,220 --> 03:17:17,740
Or how are they gonna wash $60 hoodie in a $20 t-shirt? Sorry. Sorry. Uh, I don't remember

2359
03:17:18,620 --> 03:17:22,620
um Hmm

2360
03:17:22,620 --> 03:17:25,100
Nick would probably remember but there is absolutely

2361
03:17:25,740 --> 03:17:30,220
No way that he is doing anything other than watching the fight right now and he does not want to talk to me right now

2362
03:17:30,300 --> 03:17:37,420
That's true. So, um, that's true. I don't know. It was Linus. We're gonna say it. I think it might have been me

2363
03:17:37,420 --> 03:17:40,460
But I'm not a hundred percent sure it comes from did the original land hoodie have it

2364
03:17:41,820 --> 03:17:45,980
Were we inspired from that? No, okay. I don't know. I could be wrong. I'm not sure

2365
03:17:47,740 --> 03:17:53,820
I could be wrong You know what I don't remember it might have been me. It might have been nick. It might have been loyed

2366
03:17:53,900 --> 03:17:56,700
It might have been just something we saw somewhere. I'm not sure

2367
03:17:58,620 --> 03:18:04,460
Howdy DLL faithful VOD listener here. I'm repainting my room soon and I'd like to know how you do edges

2368
03:18:04,700 --> 03:18:08,540
You said before that tape just slows you down. I'm curious how a master like you does it

2369
03:18:08,540 --> 03:18:12,780
I'm not a master. I'm just I have a reasonably steady hand and an ounce of common sense

2370
03:18:12,860 --> 03:18:16,700
That's painting and highly opinionated painting is not rocket surgery

2371
03:18:16,940 --> 03:18:23,740
Um, basically you dip about this deep into the paint. You whack it against the sides of the cans called bang loading

2372
03:18:24,300 --> 03:18:30,860
Um Don't worry about it. I'm saying nothing. You hold it like a pencil. I'm loading. Okay, so not like this

2373
03:18:31,900 --> 03:18:36,540
like this And then uh, you should be using a I think it's called a sash brush

2374
03:18:36,860 --> 03:18:38,860
so basically where it's like, uh

2375
03:18:39,900 --> 03:18:47,100
Where it goes down, but it's angled at the bottom And so you the the very longest part is the part that does the finest edge

2376
03:18:47,100 --> 03:18:50,620
And then you use the the shorter part to kind of put on the bulk of it

2377
03:18:50,780 --> 03:18:55,980
And then you just paint a paint a straight line Uh, I think the brush is something that I'd been missing for a long time

2378
03:18:55,980 --> 03:18:59,500
I didn't realize that there was a specific kind of angled brush that really helps with that

2379
03:18:59,660 --> 03:19:04,540
I know Yeah, that's good advice if you try and do that with just like a blunt slits square brush

2380
03:19:04,620 --> 03:19:09,500
You you're you're fucked like you you can't edge like that tools really help. Yes

2381
03:19:10,140 --> 03:19:16,860
And last one I got for you now Hey DLL I live in the u.s. And need to upgrade my GPU with the looming potential tariffs

2382
03:19:17,340 --> 03:19:21,580

2383
03:19:21,660 --> 03:19:26,300
Literally green lit that video concept today. We're gonna have a full video coming on that. I think Elijah's working on it

2384
03:19:27,340 --> 03:19:34,060
