WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.720
You have to account for that somehow.

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:10.880
So. Oh, and I suspect it would probably be recovered.

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.360
If I didn't go run around and play paintball with it, that's okay.

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.520
It's worth it. Oh, cool.

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.

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.720
Um, archaeologists have long suspected that some of them had a buried body.

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.680
Um, I thought we knew that. I don't know.

00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:40.680
If it's on Facebook, it's a lie. It says P kinetics. Yeah.

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:43.280
Yeah. Yeah, we've known that for a while.

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:52.520
Oh, everyone's talking about the, uh, which one is it?

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.960
It's Jake Paul, right? Yeah. The Jake Paul versus, uh, Mike Tyson fight and chat.

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.

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,

00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:10.080
you are such a dick sometimes.

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.920
Yeah. Right now. Yeah. There's a watch party in the other building.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.560
Uh, who was it? Uh, who was I talking to about this?

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

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.320
incentivized to keep the fight going as long as possible.

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.

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:43.720
So that means it's like a real fight.

00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:49.640
But if the terms of the fight have the fighters getting paid more to drag it

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.520
out to fight differently, then that's not really directly affect the match.

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,

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

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:11.440
as possible because that might give him a chance.

00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:16.520
Um, they're using 14 ounce gloves, apparently.

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.360
Uh, I don't know what that means cause I don't, I don't boxing.

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.480
Um, but I guess pretty sure that's a lot heavier than mine where.

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:31.320
Yeah. I think I had 10 or maybe 12, but at a professional level, professional boxing

00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:35.240
match is usually 10 for the purpose of training bag work. The standard sizes are 12.

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.

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:40.040
Yeah.

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:47.160
Yeah. Kellum says it's disgusting the commission sanctioned the fight in the first place.

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,

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.

00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:07.160
It's just, uh, it's softer impact with a heavier glove.

00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:11.800
Yeah. Oh, the heavier the love, the harder to knock out.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.560
Interesting.

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.560
God, oh, so it's harder to like accelerate into it.

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.160
Yeah. Okay. Interesting. See, I would have thought heavier glove is like a heavier thing, but.

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.

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:32.480
Yeah. Got it.

00:03:33.880 --> 00:03:35.560
They swim in in the kiddie pool.

00:03:37.880 --> 00:03:41.480
All right. Yeah. Cool. I mean, there's heavier gloves than 14 ounce, but.

00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:47.320
Oh. Hold on. Jordan says there was some, uh, misinformation around the Tim Cook mouse

00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:51.920
thing. So I'm glad you pointed that out before we go live, uh, magic mouse.

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

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.040
stupid, um, Mac observer.

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.200
Okay. Hold on. What is ergonomic? Oops. That page can't be found. Hold on.

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:10.960
This may be fake news. Um, glad we're catching this now. Fake news.

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:13.800
Hold on a second. Hold on.

00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:25.000
And it is anyone, uh, I'm trying to separate it called Apple sucks.

00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:29.120
Hmm. Yeah. This might be a problem. Get better hobbies.

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:35.920
Geez. I'm not really a fan either, but like, holy crap.

00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:41.080
Hold on. Mac observers reporter made a mistake and misquoted cook.

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

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.840
mouse. There's no mention of cook using Logitech's products in the WSJ's article.

00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:58.760
Check it out. Okay. So, uh, yep.

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.

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.640
Let's see, should we go with info wars acquired by the onion?

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.

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.800
While there's some kind of investigation into it next week.

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.760
I just thought it was hilarious that the onion even bit on it at all.

00:05:18.760 --> 00:05:21.840
So I didn't still like doing stuff. Uh, I think so.

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:25.560
They're owned by someone. I forget who. Uh, I think so.

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.360
They're owned by someone. I forget who.

00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.960
Enhav says, we have 25 plus budgies.

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:38.360
Should we sell? How would we end his pricing based on color?

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

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:47.000
questions. I don't even know. Why do you have that many budgies?

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.680
Yeah, I don't, I don't even know. Um, stop.

00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:57.440
The onion is still active. Is that a twitch person?

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.

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.080
Uh, lots of people talking about it. Oh, I see. Yeah.

00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:12.040
Um, hold on.

00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.960
Okay.

00:06:23.200 --> 00:06:23.840
Okay.

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.760
Oh, I have an actual source for this thing. Um, okay.

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.280
Hmm. What do we want then?

00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:39.760
Um.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:44.040
Hmm.

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.520
Onion relaunched a print edition, which is what let them purchase infowars.

00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:57.120
What? Well, hold on. But save it for the show. Save it for the show.

00:06:58.320 --> 00:07:01.720
Um, oh, I gave that advice.

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.160
What do you think of that? Uh, sure.

00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.160
No. What about? Uh, about our backpack.

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.160
My advice. No, no, just save it. No, no, look at it later.

00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.160
Look at it later, but I've seen it. Oh, okay.

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.160
Um, can I riff about it or should I not? Uh, for title.

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.160
Yeah. Yeah. Or maybe it's stupid.

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.160
My advice. My advice. Ruin.

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.160
Ruin is backpack. No. My product.

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.160
My advice ruined my product. Um, I don't know.

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.160
I worry about the people who are going to see that headline. Be like, yeah.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.160
Be like, yeah. Yeah. Like he always does.

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:42.160
Dummy.

00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:49.160
Let's see. Maybe he should fight Paul next.

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.160
For $20 million, I would.

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.160
I get knocked out for 20. No, sure. Why not?

00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.160
Wait, who cares? You even have to. Oh, yeah, that's true.

00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.160
Just purely only work on cardio and just run the whole time.

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.160
You said you want the fight to go for a long time, right?

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:17.160
People would be so mad and you'd have $20 million.

00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.160
Amazing.

00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.160
Oh, man. That bro trusted me.

00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.160
Um, man.

00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:38.160
Um,

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:48.160
someone reviewed my company.

00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:55.160
Oh, Oh,

00:08:55.160 --> 00:08:59.160
my latest business is not a stupid failure.

00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:04.160
Surprise. Yeah, let's do it.

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:05.160
I kind of like that.

00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:11.160
I'm kind of down.

00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:17.160
Sure. Sure.

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:21.160
Okay, sure.

00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:26.160
Oh, man. Are we talking about the speeding thing?

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:29.160
Whatever. Cool. The whole internet has talked about it.

00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:33.160
We don't, this doesn't have to be a like creator drama show.

00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:37.160
Yeah. If you want to hear about Marquez speeding, go look it up.

00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:40.160
And like if you're wondering why Jack Doherty and not Marquez,

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:44.160
it's because when I was looking at the Jack Doherty thing,

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:48.160
him like making his cameraman keep rolling when his head was bleeding and stuff,

00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:50.160
like it's a bit of a different thing.

00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:53.160
To be clear,

00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:57.160
neither was good. No. Obviously.

00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:58.160
Yeah.

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:04.160
To be fair, I also didn't think we should talk about the Jack Doherty thing.

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:06.160
Yeah. Nice.

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.

00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:14.160
Like, yes, I did actually. What are you talking about?

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.

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,

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.

00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:33.160
So people thought by having that conversation, we were justifying what he did.

00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:36.160
What? No, no,

00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:39.160
obviously not. Like, and I kept on.

00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:43.160
You kept on trying to draw the line and I kept on being like,

00:10:43.160 --> 00:10:46.160
well, blah, blah, blah, blah, because I was trying,

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

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

00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:58.160
way earlier than that. And all my point was that we need to,

00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:01.160
to define it clearly. Yeah.

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.

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:10.160
I'm like, my God. Linus promote speeding.

00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:13.160
You make me so tired sometimes. Oh,

00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:17.160
I can't imagine that. Like,

00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:23.160
the amount of, the amount of you get sometimes.

00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:26.160
Which drive me up the wall.

00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:27.160
My God.

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.

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:35.160
And then someone will say something very minor

00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:39.160
about one random comment that I make. And I'm just like, boom, pissed.

00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:47.160
Well, okay. It's so much easier when you're on the outside

00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:50.160
because I'll look at something and just be like, that's obviously stupid.

00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:53.160
Just ignore it. And then I

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.

00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:03.160
Yeah. For sure.

00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:08.160
Well, I mean, my bike's maximum speed is like 109 kilometers an hour or so.

00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:18.160
That's not true. Don't ask me how I know.

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:25.160
I haven't ridden in two years though. So,

00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:27.160
Dad, do you know about my, my first car?

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.

00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:34.160
Okay. I, my first car,

00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:37.160
none of the dials on the dash worked except for the tack.

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

00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:44.160
or anything. I just,

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,

00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:51.160
you know, how fast light poles were going by or like,

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

00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:59.160
and observing what the tack was doing and comparing against other cars on the road,

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.

00:13:03.160 --> 00:13:06.160
But yeah, just kind of guess. Well,

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.

00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:13.160
Oh, that's very good driving, which I can do in my current car now.

00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:16.160
Good. Because of that car, I like trained on that car.

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.

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.

00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:26.160
But that's only because I'm like leaning and stuff. Yeah.

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.

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:32.160
There's no way I could do that. Yeah.

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.

00:13:35.160 --> 00:13:36.160
Yeah.

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:41.160
All right. Let's do this thing.

00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:46.160
Luke missed his calling as a rally driver. Nah, man.

00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:48.160
He is a full fuel tank. Like, look at this guy.

00:13:49.160 --> 00:13:50.160
He's not winning any races.

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:02.160
How do I look upset?

00:14:06.160 --> 00:14:09.160
I didn't hit him. I aimed at the wall. Oh, my leg.

00:14:09.160 --> 00:14:12.160
Do you want another shot? Do you want another pen? Try again.

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:13.160
I'll show you a sore leg.

00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:18.160
Are you still limping? It's my pen. Yeah.

00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:20.160
Oh. I'm about 30%.

00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:25.160
I trained last night. But I went really easy on it.

00:14:25.160 --> 00:14:28.160
So you have the same mentality that Jim Ratz heard all the time. This is why.

00:14:29.160 --> 00:14:32.160
I did go easy on it. I went very easy on it. Yeah.

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

00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:38.160
until the next day because I thought I did fine. Yeah, well.

00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:42.160
Yeah. But I will honestly also just be fine.

00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:45.160
I don't know. Easy, men. Easy.

00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:49.160
Easy, Jim, Mr. Linus assaults employee. He then speeds home 100%.

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:52.160
Go ahead. Put it on Reddit right now.

00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:56.160
I don't even care. All right. I'm posting it now.

00:14:56.160 --> 00:14:58.160
Not you. Oh, sorry.

00:15:01.160 --> 00:15:04.160
I did not hit her. I did not. Oh, hi, Mark.

00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:06.160
Oh, hi, Mark. Mark went home.

00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:12.160
Okay. You guys ready? All right.

00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:16.160
Let's do this thing. Notice that we didn't answer a light.

00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:20.160
I said later.

00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:23.160
Later. We'll do it later. What is it?

00:15:23.160 --> 00:15:26.160
Just like after first topic or what?

00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:29.160
Oh, we're just not telling him. Okay.

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:42.160
What's up, everybody?

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.

00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:51.160
Only the best. Only the best show for you guys.

00:15:51.160 --> 00:15:56.160
I forget what our headline topic is, but Amazon is going to be taking on Sheehan

00:15:56.160 --> 00:16:01.160
and Temu with a new sub $20 Amazon haul.

00:16:01.160 --> 00:16:07.160
Also, our headline topic, I am less stupid than some people think I am.

00:16:07.160 --> 00:16:10.160
Dang! I didn't say by much.

00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:13.160
No, I didn't say by much. Oh. Yeah, I didn't say by much.

00:16:13.160 --> 00:16:18.160
Just less. Just less. New business, apparently, pretty cool.

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.

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.

00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:32.160
The wicked thing. Oh. I mean, it's in main news topics.

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:35.160
I know. But there's literally only two things.

00:16:35.160 --> 00:16:38.160
Really? We're getting pornographic within the first minute of the show?

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.

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.

00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:50.160
It's just a news topic. Hot take.

00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:53.160
We're not saying the subject matter is good or bad. All right.

00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:56.160
Let's get the intro going. Jeez.

00:16:56.160 --> 00:17:02.160
This is, I think, objectively bad. Sony employees allegedly selling personal data of users.

00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:23.160
Cool. Way to go, Luke.

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,

00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:34.160
our laptop partner LG, and our rap partner Dbrand.

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:39.160
Why don't we jump into not our headline topic?

00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.160
Oh. And why don't we talk about the channel hiatus stuff from this week?

00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:48.160
Yeah. We should probably get that kicked out as quickly as possible.

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

00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.160
on anything to do with personnel changes here at the company.

00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.160
That is our policy, and that's the way it's going to be.

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,

00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.160
and that is about all we're going to be able to say about it.

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.160
So one, what happened this week? We put three channels on hiatus.

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.160
TechQuickie, GameLinked, and Mac Address.

00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:24.160
For the past year and a half, ever since our week of reflection,

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.160
we've had extensive discussions about ways that we can improve our operations

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

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:42.160
that we've faced realistically since our hyper growth period from about 2020 to 2022, 2023,

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

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.

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.160
Two, what do you have planned for these channels?

00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.160
The hiatus is to allow our team to evaluate and refocus.

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.160
Three, is LMG becoming evil and corporate?

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.

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:16.160
Some business management experience was brought in for a good reason.

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

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:26.160
instead of like, when I have time for it, CEO.

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.160
We did all of that before the August controversy last year.

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,

00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.160
and this has caused significant issues to morale, to growth, to audience sentiment.

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:48.160
They're unacceptable, and we need to streamline things.

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?

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.

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.

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.

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.160
And that's it? That's all I have to say about that?

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:21.160
Yeah. Why don't we jump right into...

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.160
Oh man, what do you want to do? Oh.

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.160
My business isn't stupid. Yeah, my business isn't stupid.

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:33.160
One of the top comments on just about every video about Smash Champs,

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:39.160
the badminton gym slash land gaming center is...

00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.160
Is that really a business?

00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.160
Like, is that a thing? What?

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.

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.

00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:05.160
Yes. And it seems like that confidence has not been echoed by members of the community.

00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.160
One of the top comments is also that it seems very cheap.

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.160
Ah, well, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that.

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.160
But first, a quick review of Smash Champs.

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.160
Linus's new badminton facility from Mark makes jet lag games.

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.

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.

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.

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.160
I booked online and paid with their system.

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.

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.160
Drop-in was $12, which seems pricey, but you get three hours at prime time.

00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.160
And the courts are way nicer.

00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:53.160
The videos they posted don't do it justice. It's beautiful and bright.

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.

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.

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.

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.160
Apparently, the delay for opening was some kind of manufacturing defect on the courts.

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.160
It seems fine, but hey, good job committing to the highest standards.

00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.160
And blah blah blah, how drop-in works. The pro shop seemed fine.

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:27.160
The pricing isn't anything special. Yeah, fair enough. All in all, I was very impressed.

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.160
I would love to make it a regular location, but it's far for me.

00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:35.160
Okay, yeah, fair enough. Yeah, so that was pretty cool.

00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.160
Pretty cool to see. We haven't opened up reviews on Google Maps yet.

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.

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.160
We're still soft open.

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.

00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:57.160
But yeah, it's exciting to see it not be totally dunked on.

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.

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:06.160
And it's worth noting that any comments on pricing, ignore.

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.

00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:18.160
Random comment on the like, I feel like I played defense better thing.

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.

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.

00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:33.160
That probably isn't it though. So most of the centers in Richmond have lower ceilings.

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.160
And the impact that that has on the game is it speeds it up.

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,

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.

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

00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.160
so that you are far more likely to strike the cork directly.

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?

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.

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,

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:22.160
which absorbs some of the power. So what happens is if you have a higher ceiling,

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.

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:32.160
And then the other impact is that it is more likely to be falling straight down,

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.160
making it more difficult for your opponent to generate power.

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.160
So your defense is probably better because you can see better,

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.160
because you have more time and because your opponent is having a harder time generating power.

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:46.160
Now your opponent having a harder time generating power

00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:50.160
does not mean that our facility is bad because the ceilings are too high.

00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.160
It means the other ones are too low

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:57.160
and people are more easily generating too much power.

00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:02.160
In fact, for international play, you should have a ceiling height of at least 32 feet,

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.160
which is about, I think it's...

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:09.160
What is the smash dance one? I forget. We're 32 feet. Yeah.

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.160
So yeah, pretty cool.

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.160
Very excited. All right.

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.160
I think it's time, though, for us to change the subject

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.160
to talking about Elijah Week.

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.160
And we have a special guest here on the WAN Show,

00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:28.160
the one, the only... David!

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:31.160
Yvonne. Oh, we both went for the same joke.

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:35.160
Nice. Yeah. Is there a mic or am I just supposed to walk on?

00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:39.160
Wait, yeah. Does he have a mic, Dan? Oh, look at that.

00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:42.160
Soft opening, you say. Wow. What?

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.160
Really? Soft opening of a badminton, sorry. Yeah, but you're good at...

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...

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.160
you got this in your hand? At least use two. It's hard.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.160
One topic's on brand. Is his mic on?

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.160
I mean... Does it matter? It is, but you guys can't hear it.

00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:02.160
Oh, it's on. I mean, one second. It's got to get warmed up.

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.160
Just give him a minute. So, what are we supposed to...

00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:09.160
We're entering Elijah Week, right? Try rubbing it.

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.160
No, not the tall Elijah.

00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.160
You're going to get burned on it. It would come to war.

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.

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.160
Everybody's going to hate you. No, they love you. No, they don't.

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?

00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.160
What? Really? Out of all the other trailers?

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

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.

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.160
So, it's not that you're unpopular. It's just that you're less popular.

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.160
Correct. All right, cool. That's okay.

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.160
So, yeah, Elijah Week happened. There's three videos up on Floatplane.

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.160
You can go watch right now. Oh, it happened. Yeah, it already happened.

00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:58.160
Apparently, they're having me after, because if I went before, it would probably, you know,

00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:02.160
make people unsubscribe. So, they wanted to at least let it finish before.

00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:06.160
But you can meet the team, which is me. That's hi, I'm here.

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.160
There was another one, which was me showcasing my very first script.

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.160
This script, I did not get hired because of.

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.

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.

00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:24.160
Oh, you didn't work here in late 2020? Correct.

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...

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.160
Awkward. Really bad. My bad.

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.160
Okay, just quick interjection.

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:42.160
Unironically, and if you're out there, sorry, unironically had someone respond to an email

00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:49.160
from me from 2019, which was progressing them to the next stage of the interview process

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:53.160
with the things that they needed to give me for that step.

00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:58.160
No note of, like, sorry, this is so many years late or anything.

00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:03.160
And here you go. And I was like... I made it go into your attention.

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.160
That's incredible. Dude, I'm not hiring that role anymore.

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:09.160
Yeah, but if you were... We have a great person in there.

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:12.160
I'm very happy with how that person's been doing.

00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.160
It actually blew my mind.

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,

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.160
like, did I do something wrong? Is this actually...

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.

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.

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.160
I am so down to go to prom with you.

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:39.160
This isn't happening anymore. This is over.

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:43.160
Oh, that's great. And also, you made it horribly.

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

00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.160
ever age on, like, a very graceful curve?

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:58.160
And then, man, some people, it's just like...

00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:01.160
Hit a wall. That's rough. That's rough.

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:05.160
I'm sorry for you. My tenure reunions next year.

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:09.160
I'm scared to go. Are you going? Definitely not.

00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.160
So he's too cool to go? Yeah. We discussed this last week.

00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.160
I just... I'd be too famous, you know? See?

00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.160
This is what I'm talking about. Oh, my God. That hurt me to say.

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

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.160
social media? Because I think so. You know, like, Facebook is a thing.

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.

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:36.160
Because if I wanted to stay friends with you, I would have stayed friends with you.

00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.160
Yeah. Too cool. Like, no, I don't know.

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?

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.

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.160
No, he's above it. I am. He's risen.

00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:54.160
He's like the cream. He's the cream. Whoa.

00:29:54.160 --> 00:30:02.160
Soft opening. Anyways... The last video on Elijah Week was Creator vs. Superfan.

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:05.160
Cringe, cringe name. We both said it was cringe when we started filming.

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:09.160
Nice. Sammy definitely stacked the questions in Linus' favor.

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.

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:15.160
He didn't even. I love this look on your face.

00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.160
The confidence of you and me being... Was this even a post thumbnail?

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.160
No. No. Not even a little.

00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:25.160
It feels like it's just a random slide from the video.

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:28.160
I think all three of them are just random slides from the video.

00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:31.160
Are you going to explain what Creator vs. Superfan even is?

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

00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:43.160
ago, there was one snippet in that video where Linus mentioned that I have an encyclopedic

00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:46.160
knowledge of LTT and everything. And our videos.

00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:49.160
I've been surprised by this a few times. But it's a thing.

00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.160
It's actually like... It's a thing. James asked me today.

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.160
Yeah. And I got an answer. Tell you what.

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.

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.160
That sounds good. It is Elijah Week.

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.160
That's a pretty good point.

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.160
No, I was trying to pump you up.

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.160
I was trying to fluff your feathers. I feel like you're bullying me. No, no.

00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.160
This is like high school again. What's going on? What's up?

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.

00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.160
You're doing great. Yeah, we're not talking bad about you right now.

00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.160
Not right now. That was before. You're doing great.

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:29.160
Go watch the fight. Okay. I'm working.

00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.160
Anyway, what I was going to say was...

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.

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

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:49.440
it and we like go and it's like still there. Like that has actually happened.

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:57.160
So his knowledge of our videos is actually unsurpassed or at least that was the theory.

00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:02.040
Yes. Where does your encyclopedic knowledge begin?

00:32:02.040 --> 00:32:07.440
I would say Langley House. I watched during NCIX days, but I would say...

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

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.

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.

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:28.360
100%. Whole room water cooling too. Let's do it.

00:32:28.360 --> 00:32:31.480
I mean, who even are these like ancillary characters we have now?

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

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:42.240
was like controversial. We did what? Sorry?

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.280
We started scripting videos for the first time. No. Super controversial.

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.

00:32:52.560 --> 00:32:56.720
Like I have to do multiple takes of things. I used to have some of that.

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.

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.

00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:13.200
Like the whole getting a product briefing on something and being like, okay, shut up.

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.

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.

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.120
It doesn't matter how experienced you are. It is not like riding a bike.

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:28.960
Okay? Elijah could do it someday. Maybe I'll ride a bike.

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:34.160
That was a looting to that you don't know how to ride a bike.

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.320
That was actually up for debate being the third video on Elijah week.

00:33:37.320 --> 00:33:41.200
I had pitched backflip tutorial. Colton had denied that.

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.960
Yeah. Why did you even ask Colton? I didn't.

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:49.360
I asked Sammy and I said we should beg for forgiveness instead of ask for permission.

00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:52.840
Absolutely not. What if they went to like a gymnastics center?

00:33:52.840 --> 00:33:56.840
I don't care. Look he's talked about this publicly already.

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

00:34:00.120 --> 00:34:04.080
for some reason. Elijah has had half a dozen concussions.

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:08.400
Which is bad. Literally the last one had to relearn his own birthday.

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.

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.

00:34:24.200 --> 00:34:28.120
I'm building resistance though. The more concussions you have.

00:34:28.120 --> 00:34:31.120
Not how it works. No fake news. That's obviously fake news.

00:34:31.120 --> 00:34:34.120
Don't believe that. Please. Please.

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.

00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.840
It's not a meme. I'm not memin. I'm 100% serious.

00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:45.840
What? No. But yeah.

00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:48.840
I mean, why was Riley allowed to do one in his trailer?

00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.840
I don't think he-

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.

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.

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'.

00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.720
What does that mean? Can you show us?

00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:14.720
I'll let you figure it out. Dan, cover the camera.

00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:19.720
Oh God. So, uh, no backflips.

00:35:19.720 --> 00:35:22.720
Oh no. Linus, please don't get the lot on this set.

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?

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

00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:34.680
have a wrap sponsor for the show?

00:35:34.680 --> 00:35:38.680
Oh yeah. Oh. To cover the table.

00:35:38.680 --> 00:35:42.000
Oh. Just in case something gets on it.

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.

00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:51.000
Dbrand's skin's cleaned very easily with a soft cloth.

00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:55.000
Oh, that was a man tested.

00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.920
Man hours tested. Fortunately, fortunately, no one's seeing this because everyone's watching the Jake

00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:04.600
Paul versus Mike Tyson fight because otherwise we are so canceled right now.

00:36:04.600 --> 00:36:07.960
Well, they'll watch the VOD, so we're screwed either way.

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.960
We can delete the VOD. We're good. That's true.

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

00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.560
talk about one of the topics. Oh. What topics?

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?

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.720
Like corn? Oh. Am I allowed to say that?

00:36:29.720 --> 00:36:32.720
Of course you picked that one. Okay. I'll say corn.

00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:35.720
Yeah, because of course he did. No, I didn't. Guys are fucking degenerate.

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

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

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

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:54.160
and comfortable talking about on, on stream and he said, how about we go with seafood?

00:36:54.160 --> 00:36:57.880
He said, pick the corn one that's on, that's on brand for Elijah.

00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:02.000
You can say prawn. Okay. We'll go with seafood.

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.520
Sure. So this is a very seafood-y topic.

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.

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.

00:37:13.680 --> 00:37:17.200
The original article is from the Verge, also CNBC.

00:37:17.200 --> 00:37:23.960
Basically, this has been reported on Wicked, originally a Broadway musical, by the way,

00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:29.520
excellent, so good, is getting a theatrical release on November 22nd.

00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:35.240
Toy company Mattel released a variety of dolls and other toys, which, pun intended,

00:37:35.240 --> 00:37:38.760
were for purchase in stores and online retailers.

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:43.960
On the packaging was a link to a website, www.

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.

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:53.840
Well, you know what? I'll just say this, www.thenameoftheshow.com.

00:37:53.840 --> 00:38:00.720
I'm just going to not say it, which led to not, not the show.

00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:04.680
Well, it's a show of sorts. The different show. That seafood show.

00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:08.080
Don't link it in chat, Mike. Stop it, you guys.

00:38:08.080 --> 00:38:11.080
I've got it on my third monitor. Stop!

00:38:11.080 --> 00:38:16.440
To be fair, I did fact check this at work, so sorry, Luke.

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:19.440
I was joking. Wait, did you, Ashley? No, of course not.

00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.440
I'm on psycho. Okay. So the link was...

00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.040
I'm going to check. I will not.

00:38:27.040 --> 00:38:31.120
The intended link! Shut up, shut up, shut up.

00:38:31.120 --> 00:38:35.200
The intended link was www.wickedmovie.com.

00:38:35.200 --> 00:38:38.360
So that one we can check. Okay?

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.

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

00:38:50.520 --> 00:38:53.520
Twitch.

00:38:53.520 --> 00:38:58.560
Mattel has since apologized for this and removed the toys from online storefronts.

00:38:58.560 --> 00:39:03.880
Quote, parents are advised that the misprinted incorrect website is not appropriate for children

00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:08.080
or Elijah. Sorry, I added the last bit.

00:39:08.080 --> 00:39:12.960
However, the removal of the toys didn't stop scalpers from trying to buy what remained

00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:18.760
on physical shelves, flipping the original misprint for as much as $2,100.

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:23.360
To be fair, I don't know if any sold yet.

00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:27.880
Let's open up. Let's open up for discussion here.

00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:32.040
Our first discussion question is, do you think this type of thing happens often in media

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

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:43.720
info or supposedly fake info?

00:39:43.720 --> 00:39:48.040
Do you think this happens all the time? I actually put a note in there.

00:39:48.040 --> 00:39:52.840
This happened in one of our videos where we had put a placeholder or something.

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.

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

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

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.

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

00:40:16.520 --> 00:40:19.920
had left a comment. It was one comment on the video.

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

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?

00:40:30.600 --> 00:40:34.640
And I was like, probably.

00:40:34.640 --> 00:40:41.200
It was some random address. We got to just use 1600 Pennsylvania, the White House address.

00:40:41.200 --> 00:40:45.920
My official address on Netflix is still the White House.

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

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:56.400
once in a while. And the thing is, I haven't only done that on Netflix.

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

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:03.200
on a bunch of sites. So they almost certainly have mail.

00:41:03.200 --> 00:41:08.400
Speaking of the White House, that's another famous example of the importance of top-level

00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:12.960
domains. Oh, yeah. Do you not know about this one?

00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:17.600
It's WhiteHouse.gov. Yeah. That's the right one.

00:41:17.600 --> 00:41:23.640
Yeah. Don't go to any other TLD.

00:41:23.640 --> 00:41:26.640
Someone linked it. Is it bad? Oh, yeah.

00:41:26.640 --> 00:41:29.640
Please remove it. It wasn't. They said it used to be.

00:41:29.640 --> 00:41:32.640
Yeah, it used to be. It used to be. You're getting close.

00:41:33.080 --> 00:41:38.040
Oh, there's a lot of them out there. Well, seafood's very popular.

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.

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.

00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:51.040
That's a little surprising. Probably during COVID. TGA Friday is unlimited shrimp.

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.

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?

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.

00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:15.000
Seafood divers. Seafood friends. There's an amazing graph for Twitch when COVID happened on Twitch.

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.

00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:24.800
It was insane. Yeah. But yeah, do you think this happens in any other media, though?

00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:27.840
Can you think of any other examples? Absolutely.

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

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

00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:47.200
published and it was accidentally like a pay per minute phone line.

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

00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:58.920
of those high priced like 1-800 like paid numbers were that.

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.

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

00:43:09.560 --> 00:43:13.040
to hold onto these domains or phone numbers? Yeah.

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

00:43:18.720 --> 00:43:22.280
where you publish printed materials.

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

00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.680
on, who knows, a sticker. Like it doesn't matter.

00:43:31.680 --> 00:43:37.120
I come across all the time, whenever we look at anything retro, like games, for example.

00:43:37.120 --> 00:43:40.120
The Nintendo helplines. Yeah. They'll have help support lines.

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?

00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:53.200
I mean, not every website can be freaking space jam.com.

00:43:53.200 --> 00:43:56.200
Okay. Space jam. Uh-oh.

00:43:56.200 --> 00:43:59.200
Uh-oh. What's going to load? Is this the White House?

00:43:59.200 --> 00:44:02.200
No way. You told me to not go to it. You went to it?

00:44:02.200 --> 00:44:05.200
No. Yeah. I said not to.

00:44:05.200 --> 00:44:08.200
I said I went to .org. Oh. Space jam is.

00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:13.360
Space jam.com is down. Can we buy it?

00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:20.880
No way. They tried to redirect me to space jam new legacy, like the new one.

00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:24.320
I didn't know that space jam.com was down.

00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:28.960
You got to go to space jam.com slash 1996. Oh, that sucks.

00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:32.840
It does kind of suck. Because do they do a new movie or something?

00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:35.840
Yeah, they did. Yeah. Yeah.

00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.480
Apparently it was like not very good, but like realistically was the original one really good.

00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:42.480
I don't know. Yes. I didn't rewatch it.

00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.480
Wrong. In my nostalgia glasses, it's good. Don't worry, Luke.

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.

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.

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

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

00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.560
that you're actually going to do it? Because you can buy 100-year domains, right?

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

00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:17.080
because that's going to cost a million dollars or whatever.

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

00:45:23.720 --> 00:45:27.840
for it, you should buy 100 years. Sure. But why should you have to do that?

00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.840
We don't. I don't even... Yeah, we don't.

00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:33.840
We have... We've had domains like I think... Do we still have...

00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:40.080
Hold on. Oh yeah, we apparently still have this.

00:45:40.080 --> 00:45:44.080
When I was doing an eval, I had so many questions about that domain.

00:45:44.080 --> 00:45:51.040
This is f***ingyourwallet.com, which we included in one of our videos ages ago as...

00:45:51.040 --> 00:45:54.040
So many questions. Oh, whoops. Hold on.

00:45:54.040 --> 00:45:57.040
Did I? What just happened? Okay.

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

00:46:03.560 --> 00:46:07.240
little game where you dodge the expensive products.

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?

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

00:46:36.600 --> 00:46:40.080
They come in real hot.

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

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.760
to dodge. Oh, no, no, no.

00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:53.280
Oh, god. So this is a question that I legitimately have.

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

00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:01.560
this joke in it? These are iPhone 7s or something.

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

00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:11.800
and then just redirect that to it. See if anyone buys anything.

00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.960
Can we perform both? Well, you can keep avoiding the domain going forward because if someone...

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:18.120
But that would help cover our old domains.

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

00:47:22.200 --> 00:47:25.200
know, thought... Like, did we buy makeupforbros.com?

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

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

00:47:34.080 --> 00:47:40.400
totally becoming a thing. We bought adequate...

00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:43.400
Adequate video service? Yeah. We bought adquatevideoservice.com.

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,

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.

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.

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

00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:05.240
who trust you are trying to go to them, in the case wicked...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

00:48:26.200 --> 00:48:31.520
Yeah. And then conceivably, I don't think anyone ever did this.

00:48:31.520 --> 00:48:36.280
Not that I'm aware of, but conceivably, after we talk about it, they could...

00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.800
I know of a singular bad example. You do. Okay.

00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:43.920
So they could take that domain and they could use it to harvest data.

00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.200
They could redirect it to somewhere malicious.

00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:50.280
And we would be...

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

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.

00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:16.440
Someone just said, adequatevideoservice.com should redirect to fullpoint.

00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:21.240
It does. That one we own, so it's fine.

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

00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:30.480
wanted it for years to be something that if people dug deep enough into Float Plains

00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:35.320
sort of workings, they could find it. Does it actually run any services right now?

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.

00:49:38.560 --> 00:49:42.360
Okay, I still want it to. That's Float Plain, adequatevideoservice.

00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:46.960
That's a whole joke, but it checks out.

00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:49.960
Oh, cool. Okay. Is this you wanting to leave?

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.

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.

00:49:57.680 --> 00:50:00.200
I just don't want to overstay my welcome. Sounds good.

00:50:03.720 --> 00:50:07.640
I had to change because of him. We were in the exact same clothes.

00:50:07.640 --> 00:50:10.640
Oh. Oh, wow. Really?

00:50:10.640 --> 00:50:14.140
You got a red sweater? And we both had the cargo pants. Oh, wow.

00:50:14.140 --> 00:50:17.960
What sweater are you wearing? The... Oh.

00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:21.960
I actually don't know the name. Really? I just got given to me.

00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:24.960
Okay. What do you want, Elijah? It's like a...

00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:27.960
What's on the front of it? A plant. A tree.

00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:30.960
Okay. And what's it made of?

00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:33.960
Wires. Okay. Try again.

00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:36.960
Try again. Cables. Try again.

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.960
Both technically correct. Thanks, Dan. It starts with a C.

00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:42.960
Cables. It starts with a C-I.

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:46.960
It starts with a K. It does not.

00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:50.960
Circuit. There you go. So it's a what?

00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.960
Yeah. It's a tree that's made of circuits.

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.

00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:02.960
Okay. Now shorten it. It's a circuit that looks like a tree.

00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:07.960
Reduce more. Circuit tree.

00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:10.960
That's so good. It's good.

00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:13.960
So yeah, we were accidental twins today.

00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:17.960
We even are both wearing black shoes with white soles.

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.

00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.960
Oh my God. I can do a backflip.

00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:28.960
I believe you. I don't wish for you to show me.

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.

00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:34.960
Thanks a lot. Okay, bye. Bye.

00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:37.960
It was a pleasure. Where do I put this? Just on the ground.

00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:42.960
Floor. Matt Mann says OMG Elijah. I wanted to believe he was being deliberately obtuse.

00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.960
I don't know. Sometimes the brain just doesn't do stuff.

00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.960
Muted? Who's muted? You were muted, but now you're not.

00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:52.960
He's acute. Aw. Aw.

00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:55.960
Okay, get out of here. I'm reporting that to you. Go watch your fight.

00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:59.960
I'm reporting that to you. Oh, no.

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:03.960
Small angle. All right. Want a 1v1 me?

00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:06.960
Check your wallet.com. Oh, wow.

00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.960
Dan, do you want to set a timer? Yeah, sure.

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.

00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:16.960
I wonder if I still have that timer for the wheel of paint.

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.

00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:22.960
Get warmed up. Get warmed up. Can I do this as an overlay?

00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:25.960
Okay, we're doing this thing. Oh, no. Oh, no.

00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:28.960
It starts to go up the rails so fast. Oh. Okay, one minute timer.

00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:31.960
Oh, dude. He's got it. Look at it.

00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.960
Look at it go. Is that a one minute timer? It's a two minute timer.

00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.960
Something. Okay. You could just time it on your phone.

00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:40.960
Are you ready? Okay, so we'll press F5 to start. Yeah.

00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.960
Can you show our screens? Do you have that power? Of course.

00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:46.960
Tough. What camera are you on right now?

00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:49.960
You could also just switch between us. And then we go layers.

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.

00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:57.960
Yeah. The reds, man. The reds.

00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:02.960
The reds are pretty, they're pretty brutal. They, they're going to get you.

00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:07.960
Those reds, they add up real fast.

00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.960
Okay. That looks good enough to me.

00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:13.960
It's so hard on the trackpad. Oh.

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.

00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:21.960
Yeah. Literal sweaty gamers.

00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:24.960
Yeah. All right. Let's do this thing.

00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:27.960
I hadn't, I hadn't thought about this site in so long.

00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:30.960
What's hosting it? I don't know.

00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:37.960
I mean, you tell me. I think this is like way pre the infer team.

00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:41.960
It's probably on like some Jake thing. You think so?

00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:44.960
Probably. Well, that actually kind of makes sense.

00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.960
That's hilarious. Well, who even made this game? I have no idea.

00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:50.960
I don't remember anymore. I don't think it was my group.

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.

00:53:56.960 --> 00:54:01.960
I actually, I actually don't remember this was so long ago.

00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:04.960
Some Jake thing. Ouch. That's not an Ouch.

00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.960
Yeah. He just has a lot of different things. I can't really like define it.

00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:10.960
Yeah. Who can keep track of it? Okay.

00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:13.960
Dan, that's, that's good enough. I'm on your phone. It's fine.

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.

00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:19.960
Okay. That's what you wanted, right? Yeah.

00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:22.960
Brilliant. Okay. Ready?

00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.960
Yeah. Yeah. Three, two, one, F5.

00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.960
Here we go. Here we go. Here.

00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:31.960
Oh God. Oh God. I got hit by two reds already, dude.

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.

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.

00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:45.960
I'm dodging. I'm dipping. I'm weaving.

00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.960
I'm trying. I'm making, oh no.

00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:56.960
Oh my God. Look guys, this is way, way harder than, oh shoot.

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.

00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.960
No, no. Okay. Hold on.

00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:06.960
20 seconds. Oh crap. That's so long.

00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.960
No. Okay. You're crushing me.

00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:12.960
Oh my God. Two more iPhones. 10 seconds.

00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:16.960
Two more iPhones. Another razor blade. Oh, oh, oh my goodness.

00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:19.960
I had three. Five, four, three. Three red cameras come for me.

00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:24.960
Two, one. Oh. And the winners look.

00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:28.960
$300,000 spent to Linus's 930,000.

00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:32.960
I got hit by so many red cameras.

00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.960
All right. You can get rid of that.

00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:38.960
That's going to take like half an hour, sorry. GG.

00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:41.960
Oh yeah. That makes sense. Okay.

00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:44.960
I'm going to just, yeah, cool. There we go.

00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.960
Now I can close that. What are we supposed to be talking about?

00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:50.960
Let's talk about announcements. What even is this show? I can't even tell anymore.

00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:54.960
It doesn't matter, does it? It was less than 50K for so long.

00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:57.960
Yeah. I was killing it for a while and then I started getting smacked.

00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:00.960
Those red cameras, dude, they come out of nowhere. Those are so brutal.

00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:03.960
They're so fast and they crank your score up so much.

00:56:03.960 --> 00:56:06.960
Anyways. GG. GG, brother.

00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:09.960
GG indeed. Yeah. We're doing announcements.

00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:13.960
Yeah. Let's do it. Did you just call them merch messages?

00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:16.960
Oh, we're doing merch messages. We're doing merch messages.

00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:19.960
All right. Okay. Explain merch messages.

00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.960
Here's a question before we do that. Do we get a new name for it?

00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:25.960
What? I'm not even part of that team.

00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:28.960
I'm kind of tired of it being called merch.

00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:33.960
That makes sense. What do you call bonus bin items?

00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:36.960
Oh yeah. What do you guys call the bonus bin items again?

00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:39.960
That's an internal name. We don't need to talk about that. No.

00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:42.960
It's something totally stupid. I want the merch messages named like that.

00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:45.960
The free item upsell or something. Free upsell. It's the fuss.

00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:48.960
The free upsell shelf. That's an internal name. Okay.

00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:52.960
I want merch messages to sound like that.

00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:55.960
Oh man. Yeah. Okay.

00:56:55.960 --> 00:56:58.960
So what are other competing products? Free upsell message.

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.

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.

00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:08.960
Additional live order comment.

00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:11.960
What is that? ALOC. ALOC.

00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:15.960
See? Yeah. That's really not rolling off the tongue, Dan.

00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:19.960
Yeah. That was the point. Money talks.

00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:22.960
Money talks. Money talks. Yeah.

00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:26.960
It's not bad. Super bits.

00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:30.960
Parasocial message. Parasocial message is pretty funny.

00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:33.960
Super bits. It's pretty funny. Send me a PM.

00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:37.960
Which one of you is going to sue us? We took half of both of you.

00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:40.960
Okay. Totally changing the subject.

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:43.960
Why did we stop calling them PMs?

00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:47.960
Why are they DMs? Because they aren't always direct one to one,

00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:51.960
but they're always private.

00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:54.960
What the fuck? I don't understand it.

00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:59.960
Group chats. I'm a boomer. I still call them PMs pretty often.

00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:03.960
No. You're converted. No.

00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:06.960
I was just thinking about it too much. PMs pretty often. I think sometimes it also...

00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:09.960
Look and mute it again. I need to fix something. What's going on?

00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:12.960
I don't know. Okay. Well, whatever.

00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:17.960
It matters on the context. Like NVIDIA games, I still call them whispers.

00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.960
Right. Cool.

00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:23.960
Apparently it's fixed now. But like, I bet you if I was on Twitter,

00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:26.960
I would call it a DM because everyone calls it DMs on Twitter.

00:58:26.960 --> 00:58:31.960
Yeah. And you'd never say like slide into your PMs.

00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:34.960
That's a little weird. Yeah. It sounds like slide into your night,

00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.960
which I mean realistically is probably a similar intent.

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,

00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:44.960
you call it private messages. PM.

00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:47.960
Yeah. If you're on Twitter, you call it DMs. Well, that's stupid.

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.

00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.960
Anyway. Except whispers.

00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:56.960
Handy daily deliverables, HDD.

00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.960
The acronym is good, but so handy. Yeah.

00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:03.960
The alliteration of merge messages is really good.

00:59:03.960 --> 00:59:07.960
I mean, okay, would it satisfy you if we just changed it to merchandise messages?

00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:10.960
Like I, because merch is just short for merchandise.

00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:15.960
How about purge messages? I'm tired of the like purge messages.

00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:18.960
Yeah, like purchase. Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.

00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:21.960
So affordable. Now there are other PMs. Purse.

00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.960
T-E-R-C-H. Yeah. Send us a PM, a purge message.

00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:29.960
I don't know. I am forever calling them additional live purchase comments.

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

00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:37.960
I've ever used and I'm totally converted. So surprised considering it's YouTuber merch.

00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:40.960
And I'm just like, ah. Yeah.

00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.960
I know. It's painful because that's for a lot of people,

00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:48.960
the foot that we have in the door. Yes.

00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:50.960
To get them to try it. I am.

00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:54.960
Instead of it just being a good product. Yeah.

01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:03.960
they'll say in the same grouping of texts,

01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:06.960
they'll say like, this is the best one ever

01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:11.960
and it's good for being a merch product. And those things sound so different.

01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:14.960
They're separate. They are really very different things.

01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:19.960
I don't know. I bet it wouldn't even take me that long to find,

01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:22.960
to find a comment like that. Like that.

01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:27.960
Yeah. They're all over the place. Because I don't necessarily think that people understand

01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:31.960
what the takeaway from that is for like us.

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.

01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:38.960
I mean, I know I'm not like I get it,

01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.960
but I also just swag chats.

01:00:41.960 --> 01:00:44.960
Swag is worse in this context. Oh yeah.

01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:49.960
Swag stuff we all get means just like garbage Ali express

01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:53.960
stuff that is rebranded. It's a lot worse.

01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:56.960
We can leave it. It's just, I don't know.

01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:01.960
I just I want creator warehouse to be able to break out of the

01:01:01.960 --> 01:01:06.960
the bubble that they get put in with a lot of other creator

01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:11.960
merch. Well, what's really frustrating for me is that if they don't

01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:15.960
belong there, if more people used creator warehouse,

01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:19.960
then more merch would be merchandise instead of being

01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:20.960
merch.

01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:25.960
But I mean, realistically, I say that we have to open the

01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:29.960
doors. We don't really have the capacity to take on other

01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:32.960
creators anyway. Like we still have. We still have a lot to learn.

01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:35.960
Some of them want it. I know. Real bad.

01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:38.960
I know poor Luke. Every time he tries to pitch Floatplane to a creator,

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?

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

01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:52.960
the creator warehouse model is inherently incompatible with a

01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:55.960
lot of creators because it's not merch.

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

01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:04.960
they, they're theoretically joining full plane as well, but they are also having this conversation.

01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:08.960
I, I tried to like talk them down actively this time.

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

01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:16.960
want to say downsides, all the difficulties of doing it the

01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:21.960
way that we do. Yeah. Where you have to like hold inventory and pay for things

01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.960
upfront with no net terms and like all, it's a hyper risky.

01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:28.960
Oh no. I totally understand. Want to do it that way.

01:02:28.960 --> 01:02:33.960
Sounds good. No problem. And throughout a number of like, yeah, I expect like getting

01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:37.960
inventory for this stuff would like cost about this amount. And I was like, wow, yep.

01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:41.960
That sounds probably about accurate, including like R and D

01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:44.960
involved and everything else. It's like, okay.

01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:49.960
This is a, I think a really positive example of a similar

01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.960
thing. I've been looking for a screwdriver like this one for

01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:55.960
years. I don't care about this being a YouTuber product.

01:02:55.960 --> 01:02:58.960
It's something special. Do yourself a favor and pick up one or two.

01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:01.960
Yeah. Like I don't, I don't mind it in that context.

01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:04.960
I do agree. Yeah. But there's absolutely ones like you said.

01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:07.960
Usually like that. I think. That's okay.

01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:10.960
That's okay. I mean, yeah. I, with how long?

01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:13.960
Shop talk. Shop talk? Oh.

01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.960
Shop talk. No.

01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:20.960
That has a super negative connotation. I think so.

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

01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:30.960
innuendo, like our verified actual gamer program, your

01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:35.960
brand from like saying, saying, yeah.

01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:38.960
You have to, you have to say the full name verified

01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:41.960
actual gamer program. Shop talk. Shop talk.

01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:44.960
Yeah. Well, it's like locker room talk. Like.

01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:47.960
Oh. Yeah. Like it, the, the like.

01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:50.960
Is that a bad thing? Just the boys, you know, kind of.

01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:53.960
Yeah. I think it, I think it has a pretty, I think it has kind of

01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:56.960
a toxic connotation personally. I'm probably just disconnected from this. I don't know.

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.

01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:06.960
I mean, honestly. Purchase PMs, you know, PPs.

01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:11.960
All right. I got a big pee pee here from, you know, maybe not.

01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:15.960
Purchase merch.

01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:18.960
No, it can't say merch. Oh, right.

01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:21.960
Right. Right. Right.

01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:24.960
Right. Right. Additional live purchase comment.

01:04:24.960 --> 01:04:26.960
We're not doing that, Dan.

01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:32.960
I'm so down replacing all the coffee with pee pee poo poos now.

01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:37.960
Why is my dashboard changing?

01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:40.960
The reply button just says poop.

01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:43.960
Man, I love, I love no JS.

01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:47.960
Okay. Reply and then you, you pee it for us to reply.

01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:52.960
I see here. Show it. I see here, people here saying, uh, talking shop means

01:04:52.960 --> 01:04:55.960
something else entirely. Yeah. I'm em, like, where 89.

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

01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:05.960
you're supposed to be in a social context and you're talking

01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:08.960
shop. Like, that's, that's usually the context that I hear that in.

01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:12.960
Can we not talk shop right now? Like talking about the city side of it.

01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:15.960
Yeah. Yeah. That's talking shop.

01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:20.960
Which never bothers me. But, um, yeah, I know, don't like their jobs.

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

01:05:26.200 --> 01:05:31.440
So have other things to talk to people about and realistically because of my job

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?

01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.560
I mean some do but like tone down the parasocial relationship

01:05:42.560 --> 01:05:46.400
I like a lot of people ask about my birds too. Yeah, yeah, that's true

01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:49.920
And I don't actually have a problem with that. I like talking about my cats

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

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

01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:05.560
belongs to you know came out of or or into, you know, your various

01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:10.820
Guy or lady parts, right? Like it's it's basically which critters yours essentially

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

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

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?

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

01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:46.480
Yeah, technically I Might technically still be more than one CEO. I'm not sure

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

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

01:06:57.160 --> 01:07:01.040
Yeah, I'm technically still the CEO of Floatplane, but that is such horse shit

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

01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:12.040
I mean look if you want the promotion go talk to my boss

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

01:07:19.560 --> 01:07:23.320
Pretty much Call them product placements

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

01:07:32.240 --> 01:07:36.760
I always like alliteration Yeah

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

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

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?

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

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

01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:12.280
All right, I think that's enough show for me for today

01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:16.000
It's been a really nice

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

01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.240
Subscribe now for only 1599 per month

01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:36.080
When are we starting when are we starting only planes calm it?

01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:40.480
Not today because we have to ban people making those links

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

01:08:48.160 --> 01:08:51.660
We probably did but don't go check. Yeah, don't check. Oh

01:08:53.120 --> 01:08:55.120
My goodness

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

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

01:09:09.080 --> 01:09:12.440
We apparently do not own only planes. So okay

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

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

01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:26.880
What are we supposed to be talking about right now? You're supposed to explain

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

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

01:09:39.240 --> 01:09:41.360
I like check out chats a lot. Oh, check out

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

01:09:52.400 --> 01:09:56.560
Highly technically confident is better than just listening to your audience. He also named it fuzz

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

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

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

01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:23.320
It's never okay. Check out chats. Okay. Check out chats

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

01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:32.320
Go to LTT Store comm so instead of doing super chats or

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:20.880
Wandsworths It's not always Wancho

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

01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:35.120
And he will I

01:11:35.480 --> 01:11:40.040
People are saying that we should we should keep the out in the acronym

01:11:41.080 --> 01:11:44.640
Check out chats. Mmm. Okay

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

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

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?

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

01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:13.920
Dan me

01:12:15.440 --> 01:12:18.400
I've had a lot of practice over the last year, so yeah

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

01:12:26.160 --> 01:12:30.280
Sorry, no, not from Thomas somebody else. Hello, Dan and the photon reflectors

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

01:12:37.680 --> 01:12:39.680
Including I need a person escape hatch

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

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

01:12:52.520 --> 01:12:58.600
Like went public beta or whatever I think we probably talked about like

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

01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:08.000
Yeah, I think they had been kind of riffing on the idea for a while

01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:11.640
I'm 99% sure and that's that's just the creative warehouse team working with

01:13:12.040 --> 01:13:15.040
Their their customer support tool provider. Yeah

01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:20.240
Yeah And how about it?

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

01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:31.440
There's been a lot of interruptions, but I got some more here

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?

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

01:14:01.480 --> 01:14:03.480
Hey, hey, wait

01:14:05.800 --> 01:14:09.480
Hey, why not DLL is it likely that the commuter back pack will launch before?

01:14:09.480 --> 01:14:13.000
Christmas likely I hardly know her

01:14:15.280 --> 01:14:17.280
That doesn't matter

01:14:26.680 --> 01:14:32.200
I think the hope is to launch it before the end of the year

01:14:32.320 --> 01:14:36.440
But I think the odds of you getting one before Christmas are basically zero

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

01:14:42.440 --> 01:14:45.640
I think so it might even be launching after Christmas

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

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

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

01:15:04.320 --> 01:15:07.360
If we gap out on something we're out of it for like four months

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

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

01:15:19.920 --> 01:15:22.040
Now I'm in like forms of withdrawal

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

01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:32.460
And I'm just like wow. This is notably inadequate

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

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

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

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

01:16:03.260 --> 01:16:09.460
Packaged them back up from overseas and sent them back to Luke overseas shipping and everything

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

01:16:18.500 --> 01:16:21.840
Did you send them back? I haven't yet, but I will be okay. Yeah

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

01:16:28.540 --> 01:16:33.420
He doesn't actually want anyone to solve his problem I have a type

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

01:17:17.140 --> 01:17:21.220
Yeah, let's do that announcing Black Friday Cyber Monday 9,000

01:17:21.460 --> 01:17:24.820
It's our big freakin Black Friday and Cyber Monday event

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

01:17:30.220 --> 01:17:36.380
I heard that LTT Store is working with some of our partners to deliver some big

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

01:17:42.620 --> 01:17:46.940
literally on set earlier as I was doing the read for it and I

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?

01:17:55.420 --> 01:17:59.740
because it is an absolutely

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

01:18:06.100 --> 01:18:11.060
Refer to deals of this magnitude is hot It is a shit hot deal. I

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

01:18:17.060 --> 01:18:22.060
There will also be flash deals that are gonna be happening throughout the week popping up at random times

01:18:22.500 --> 01:18:27.540

01:18:47.620 --> 01:18:52.340

01:18:52.340 --> 01:18:58.780
We're trying to promote this. Yeah, but there's a funny line. These are examples of things that we might have deals on, okay?

01:20:43.220 --> 01:20:49.420
That's actually that's actually good job. That's yeah, that's smart probably already. I think that seems like an arty move

01:20:50.100 --> 01:20:54.380
And then finally we have a November Floatplane early access drop

01:20:54.780 --> 01:21:00.220

01:21:01.180 --> 01:21:05.420
audio update vlog Featuring the one and only mr. Dan

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

01:21:11.660 --> 01:21:16.300
No, and your car looks dirty Um, is your window open?

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?

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

01:21:24.620 --> 01:21:28.540
Uh, okay. Hmm. We uh, oh shoot. Okay. Um

01:21:30.940 --> 01:21:33.580
Anyway, uh, okay. Anyway, it's um

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

01:21:42.780 --> 01:21:46.700
That we implemented in in the land center slash badminton center

01:21:46.700 --> 01:21:49.740
And it's going to be really useful for both lands and badminton

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

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

01:22:00.060 --> 01:22:02.620
I did see it get towed, but not when I was filming that shot. Oh

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

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

01:22:14.220 --> 01:22:16.780
Sorry, sorry. I was there. I saw the tow truck pull in

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

01:22:24.380 --> 01:22:28.060
Um Okay, look it's a Dan

01:22:28.300 --> 01:22:31.020
Remember that one time when you had to undo all of the audio stuff

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?

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

01:22:45.100 --> 01:22:49.180
Oh god I've blocked that out

01:22:49.580 --> 01:22:53.580
That was so stressful You did an inside out too and just like boop

01:22:54.140 --> 01:22:56.140
Just throw that into the void

01:22:57.420 --> 01:23:00.060
No, that was brutal. Um, but it worked I guess

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

01:23:07.820 --> 01:23:11.100
It's considered a negative slang term that can be offensive and derogatory

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

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

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

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

01:23:34.300 --> 01:23:37.740
I mean, there's always new There's always new words that

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

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

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

01:23:55.340 --> 01:23:57.340
I'm not I'm not aware of that

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

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

01:24:08.140 --> 01:24:11.020
You know the the the main selling point of our screwdriver

01:24:11.820 --> 01:24:17.580
I had no idea that that in the context of something that's like shoddily done

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

01:24:26.780 --> 01:24:31.740
So I knew it. Yeah, okay We used that word here to describe

01:24:32.300 --> 01:24:37.260
Like something that's kind of shoddy like shanty town and are like cobbled together

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

01:24:45.260 --> 01:24:47.260
You know and people were like

01:24:48.540 --> 01:24:53.180
Like really upset about No idea. It's so I don't know

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

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

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

01:25:13.260 --> 01:25:17.980
Um, you gotta understand that not everyone's gonna know the like weird secret alternative hidden

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

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

01:29:24.140 --> 01:29:27.980
Has less than 3000 total trophies and three platinums for reference

01:29:29.340 --> 01:29:32.380
Wow, whoa, so buddy has literally

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

01:29:42.540 --> 01:29:44.940
PlayStation fanboy david yeah a little bit more

01:29:46.700 --> 01:29:50.460
Is am i correct platinum means you you got every trophy for the game

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

01:29:57.340 --> 01:30:00.700
Get every other trophy. I'm sorry. I I I don't know because

01:30:01.260 --> 01:30:04.940
Digital trophies for playing a game are not real awards

01:30:07.020 --> 01:30:09.020
Hot take

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

01:30:18.620 --> 01:30:24.060
Sure I'm sorry i i i am

01:30:25.020 --> 01:30:27.020
Oh boy

01:30:28.380 --> 01:30:31.500
Should we just move on There are

01:30:31.500 --> 01:30:36.060
More important. I feel that there are more important things

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?

01:30:44.940 --> 01:30:50.300
Maybe a little bit maybe a little bit, but um touch grass

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

01:30:57.260 --> 01:30:59.260
You don't know that hakum doesn't

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

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

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

01:31:20.060 --> 01:31:23.820
So I don't know anyways the trouble started when his

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

01:31:33.660 --> 01:31:38.060
good saudi guy What I think it's saudi, but sure saudi sure

01:31:38.460 --> 01:31:43.020
Showing that hakum's personal data and playstation account info was being leaked on telegram

01:31:43.340 --> 01:31:49.340
The same source also claimed that the accounts had acquired the info by bribing sony employees

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

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

01:32:01.100 --> 01:32:04.540
polyphony polyphony polyphony

01:32:04.540 --> 01:32:08.220
polyphony polyphony, I believe it's husband else the game with me the game studio

01:32:08.940 --> 01:32:13.900
I don't know digital domain Maker of grand trismo. Okay, sure

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

01:32:20.380 --> 01:32:22.780
But would eventually ask for hakum's credit card number

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

01:32:29.660 --> 01:32:32.620
such as having multiple playstation devices in different locations

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

01:32:40.780 --> 01:32:47.820
Platinum trophies after just seconds of gameplay. This is possible both by playing trophy farming games

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

01:32:59.420 --> 01:33:04.380
Or a 100 save into the save game from a different region

01:33:05.900 --> 01:33:10.940
What okay So, okay, can I go back to my point?

01:33:15.660 --> 01:33:19.980
None of this is real None of this is going to get you girls

01:33:20.140 --> 01:33:25.820
uh Really there might be one playstation trophies there might even be two

01:33:26.780 --> 01:33:30.220
Tell you what some could say possibly three you go find them

01:33:32.780 --> 01:33:36.540
I could go as far as this box right here next week

01:33:37.980 --> 01:33:42.700
Someone might step up Someone might step up

01:33:43.180 --> 01:33:46.940
A girl they might Who would be like?

01:33:46.940 --> 01:33:51.020
Wow, you you you slide up next to her at the bar

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

01:33:57.820 --> 01:34:01.500
Can I go back to your house to see them? Maybe really maybe really maybe

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

01:34:11.420 --> 01:34:13.420
I'll let you continue

01:34:19.180 --> 01:34:24.140
Where even was I after two weeks he was ghosty 26 says you won't cheat

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

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

01:34:37.740 --> 01:34:42.380
He was informed his account would be reinstated after 45 days with strict

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

01:34:47.660 --> 01:34:49.900
Well plain chat is great. She'd be a platinum digger

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?

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

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

01:35:11.580 --> 01:35:16.060
Uh I think this is Riley text in the dock. Yeah

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

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

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

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

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

01:35:48.860 --> 01:35:51.820
Well, I mean, yeah, but there's certain stuff that people

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

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

01:36:09.980 --> 01:36:13.820
To give them access to the account to the email account by bribing them

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

01:36:22.780 --> 01:36:26.780
Anything like any department that's in charge for example of monitoring for

01:36:27.340 --> 01:36:29.980
um, child sexual abuse material csam

01:36:31.180 --> 01:36:33.900
Could conceivably have access to just about any

01:36:34.700 --> 01:36:38.620
dm or p.m. Or email or whatever the case may be

01:36:38.780 --> 01:36:40.780
Uh

01:36:42.300 --> 01:36:46.140
Pretty crazy by the way rest assured says f*** me in the ass messages

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

01:36:54.140 --> 01:36:56.140
I'm gonna get him someday

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

01:37:04.940 --> 01:37:08.300
Um Dan I just got that

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

01:37:20.140 --> 01:37:25.420
My goodness, uh There are discussion questions. Um

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?

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

01:37:41.820 --> 01:37:45.820
I'm assuming he means like us Oh, yes, um

01:37:47.740 --> 01:37:53.020
Yeah, I mean pretty pretty easily honestly without 2fa like I have

01:37:53.580 --> 01:37:57.500
For instance, I mean, am I allowed to use every tool at my disposal?

01:37:57.900 --> 01:38:01.260
I may I think so because like I can access it's acquirable by

01:38:01.740 --> 01:38:05.340
In fact, I think all three of us have access to the surveillance cameras

01:38:06.140 --> 01:38:10.300
So all I would have to do is contrive some situation

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

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

01:38:23.820 --> 01:38:25.820
Like

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

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

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

01:38:45.100 --> 01:38:48.860
And you were like right the other day. I was making a joke about um

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

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

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

01:39:14.620 --> 01:39:20.860
The the the easiest way into someone's account is is obviously social engineering

01:39:20.940 --> 01:39:25.100
Yeah, and the better you know someone the more easily you can social engineer

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

01:39:32.060 --> 01:39:35.020
All I'd have to do is is go get an omg cable

01:39:36.140 --> 01:39:38.140
Put a keyboard in front of them and be like

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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%

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

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

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?

01:40:34.700 --> 01:40:39.340
Not much Don't don't share passwords across sites try to try to like

01:40:39.980 --> 01:40:43.980
Lower the the impact of the potential damage use use auto fill

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

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

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

01:41:03.820 --> 01:41:06.460
Well, I mean yes, but no, yeah, but yeah

01:41:08.060 --> 01:41:11.420
Because there's ways to deal with things when they're air gapped as well

01:41:11.980 --> 01:41:15.820
I I I've talked about this before people disagree with me. That's fine

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

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

01:41:29.340 --> 01:41:31.340
over the management interface

01:41:33.020 --> 01:41:36.300
And like I was like does this really need to exist and then I was like

01:41:37.100 --> 01:41:42.060
yeah Depending on what the level of security that's required is

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

01:41:48.140 --> 01:41:53.100
literally Remotely disconnect any port. Yeah, I could see that having a huge value

01:41:55.740 --> 01:42:01.740
The Anyways moving on We got more stuff. Yeah, what are we talking about? Um

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

01:42:08.780 --> 01:42:11.820
Our headline says it might be less outlandish than it seems

01:42:12.460 --> 01:42:17.580
But um, I actually strongly disagree. I think it's I think it's pretty. Um

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

01:42:23.980 --> 01:42:27.020
um Have been grossly

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

01:42:34.860 --> 01:42:39.500
Not a fall. Yeah Intel is not Intel's not like

01:42:39.500 --> 01:42:45.020
Going out of business tomorrow. Also my understanding of free coffee now

01:42:46.060 --> 01:42:51.020
Yeah, also my understanding of the whole like x86 license

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

01:42:58.380 --> 01:43:01.420
Also, just as consumers. We don't want this

01:43:02.620 --> 01:43:08.140
having Literally only one x86 company. Also. I just don't see the synergies

01:43:08.700 --> 01:43:11.660
Like AMD has their own designs their own jam

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

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

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

01:43:31.100 --> 01:43:34.940
Um, and I just I just don't I don't see what they would uh

01:43:35.740 --> 01:43:39.260
I don't see what they would need from each other necessarily even

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

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

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

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

01:44:05.820 --> 01:44:08.700
So let's not root for this. I guess would be

01:44:09.580 --> 01:44:13.020
All I have to say about that, but um, generally less competition is bad

01:44:13.740 --> 01:44:19.180
Yeah, there is immense endless proof of this. Yeah, you don't want consolidation

01:44:19.900 --> 01:44:24.140
Yeah Cool

01:44:25.020 --> 01:44:29.820
Nice speaking of uh highly consolidated uh companies

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

01:44:38.780 --> 01:44:43.180
It's a mobile. Oh, it's mobile only. Okay. That completely kills

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

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?

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

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

01:45:03.500 --> 01:45:06.540
I'd wanted us to shop. Well Dan's not there luke. He's not there. Who are you talking to?

01:45:07.020 --> 01:45:11.660
You're like looking past the camera at Dan. He's literally not there. You can see he's not there. Yeah

01:45:12.540 --> 01:45:21.580
He's he's there in our hearts Um, anyway, I'll come back. I'll come back. Uh, it's so it's a mobile only shopping experience. Can we just call it?

01:45:21.580 --> 01:45:26.300

01:45:26.860 --> 01:45:29.820
Yeah, okay. Okay. Uh, hey Dan. What's this phone for?

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

01:45:51.180 --> 01:45:53.420
And and hacked he's elite

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?

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

01:46:09.100 --> 01:46:11.100
Oh

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

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

01:46:28.380 --> 01:46:34.220
genius Okay, so you mean chrome or oh, oh, I understand. Oh, that's funky

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

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

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

01:46:59.340 --> 01:47:05.260
amazon halls focus on low-cost goods raises concerns about product quality sustainability and ethical sourcing

01:47:05.500 --> 01:47:09.420
Yeah, I mean if those weren't already concerns for you on amazon

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

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

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

01:47:25.420 --> 01:47:28.300
and then immediately you're gonna be like

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

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?

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?

01:47:50.060 --> 01:47:53.340
Is there uh, I don't know I couldn't like

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

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

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

01:48:09.260 --> 01:48:14.300
What was it? What was this product? It says it says below the picture

01:48:14.780 --> 01:48:18.460
Did I just add this to cart? It says below the picture above the color selections

01:48:19.020 --> 01:48:21.900
Above the what what are you talking about? Oh shoelaces

01:48:22.620 --> 01:48:26.220
For athletic boot shoelaces for men and women one pair

01:48:27.180 --> 01:48:29.180
Okay, well, where's the price?

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?

01:48:34.460 --> 01:48:38.060
I forgot. Yeah, maybe you are we requesting a desktop version of the site?

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?

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

Uh, I can't see very well. I don't know. I don't know where the price is

What is this product? I think it's pants or are these are these other products? Yeah, these are just completely other different products

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

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

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

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

01:49:48.300 --> 01:49:51.820

So wait, it's an app. I can't go to a website. It is only a website. It seems to be it's only a website

Okay, here we go Where's the price? Where's the price?

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

01:53:53.340 --> 01:53:55.340
It just loads things forever

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

01:54:08.060 --> 01:54:10.060
Okay, long story

01:54:11.180 --> 01:54:15.020
But I do not have the 2fa for my amazon account

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:54:59.020 --> 01:55:04.220
Yeah, cool Nice, I think I'm over it. Um, so amazon hauls everyone

01:55:05.020 --> 01:55:08.540
Yay Thanks Dan

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

01:55:17.660 --> 01:55:20.220
But you can just request and anyways, whatever, it's fine

01:55:21.580 --> 01:55:26.220
What? Okay, whatever. I only learned I learned about this 20 minutes before the show started

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

01:55:30.780 --> 01:55:34.460
Okay, do some learning for this traffic fire. Well, I didn't mean to do that

01:55:35.020 --> 01:55:39.820
Okay, if you have 12 And then click on this little oh, I already did it

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

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

01:55:50.700 --> 01:55:54.460
You know responsive design dimensions. So now it thinks I'm on a phone, right?

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

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

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

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

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

01:56:25.580 --> 01:56:28.540
On the WAN Show. Yeah, and I received an email

01:56:29.420 --> 01:56:34.700
This long. Wow about our discussion. Apparently I was very wrong and misled. Um

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

01:56:45.340 --> 01:56:49.500
And it is less far less stupid

01:56:50.300 --> 01:56:56.060
um, then We have been led to believe and led you to believe

01:56:57.020 --> 01:57:00.300
So I'm open to mind being changed. I have a hard

01:57:01.260 --> 01:57:04.860
Time believing that but I am I am open to facts

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

01:57:15.820 --> 01:57:21.420
international helicopter hunters to come and shoot them and we kind of talked about how

01:57:22.380 --> 01:57:26.140
Hunters would have paid to hunt those deer and etc etc etc

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

01:57:34.460 --> 01:57:36.460
Actually a real solution

01:57:37.580 --> 01:57:39.580
So one of them is that

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

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

01:57:54.780 --> 01:57:57.100
But when that population bounces back

01:57:58.220 --> 01:58:03.900
It is every single time a more difficult population to cull because what the

01:58:04.700 --> 01:58:11.100
What the population there has learned is that during hunting season or during hunting activities

01:58:11.420 --> 01:58:14.380
There are places on the island which is populated by humans

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

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

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

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

01:58:39.900 --> 01:58:43.740
And basically what I was what I was

01:58:45.020 --> 01:58:47.820
Not aware of and what uh, I have now

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

01:58:56.460 --> 01:58:59.420
In response to your question before the show, did it really need to be

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?

01:59:07.500 --> 01:59:11.340
Well, they did a bidding process And they won the bid

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

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

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

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

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

01:59:43.020 --> 01:59:46.380
But as far as my understanding goes that that is because of the fencing

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

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

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

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

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

02:00:19.420 --> 02:00:22.860
But deer can access them. Yeah. Um, so there's an entire

02:00:23.580 --> 02:00:27.740
There's an entire parks canada Like microsite

02:00:27.740 --> 02:00:31.580
About this whole thing What's the issue?

02:00:31.580 --> 02:00:34.140
What's been done? What have we tried?

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

02:00:42.540 --> 02:00:48.700
Eradication a globally proven conservation method. Why here's the timeline. Why are we doing this?

02:00:49.580 --> 02:00:53.500
Here's a huge FAQ

02:00:53.580 --> 02:00:56.860
That is a lot. I spent a lot of time reading it. Um

02:00:57.580 --> 02:01:01.500
It may not work. It may not be excellent use of funds. It's not

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

02:01:10.860 --> 02:01:15.740
This is the I think the specific art article that I had found. Yeah, so like

02:01:16.620 --> 02:01:19.580
I don't know and that's you know what that's fair enough

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

02:01:24.140 --> 02:01:27.580
But it was not the first choice

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

02:01:34.540 --> 02:01:39.500
But they're basically it's not just a completely irrational completely stupid thing either

02:01:39.980 --> 02:01:45.900
So all I'm saying is that the truth is often nuanced and rarely

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

02:01:55.500 --> 02:01:59.660
The that wasn't the cost that wasn't the cost of like the helicopter

02:02:00.540 --> 02:02:03.500
Shooting people that was the cost of the entire project

02:02:04.060 --> 02:02:08.940
which As it tends to go with government stuff included a lot of other things

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

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

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

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

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

02:02:37.980 --> 02:02:41.260
I think there was like paying native tribes and and doing a variety of other things

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

02:02:49.340 --> 02:02:52.940
It's being streamed on netflix. Yeah, I thought it was a netflix deal. Oh, wow

02:02:53.500 --> 02:02:56.380
Um, has netflix ever had a fight before? I don't know

02:02:57.100 --> 02:02:59.180
I mean netflix does all kinds of stuff. So who knows

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

02:03:07.500 --> 02:03:11.980
That's like an actual main event. That's apparently like an important fight. Oh, okay

02:03:12.060 --> 02:03:16.620
Yeah, the like like actual like legit fighters and you know stuff fight

02:03:18.940 --> 02:03:21.820
Uh, yeah quality is uh quality is apparently terrible

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

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

02:03:36.700 --> 02:03:41.420
and I also know that You know, apparently this is this has been

02:03:42.380 --> 02:03:48.060
the whole The whole circus show that is accompanying, you know, this this women's fight

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

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

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

02:04:08.540 --> 02:04:10.940
Was like seeing like, oh, this is this is like

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

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

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

02:04:36.220 --> 02:04:40.380
Um, so it's one of those things where like I can I can definitely appreciate

02:04:40.860 --> 02:04:44.380
certain characters or styles and I can definitely get behind like

02:04:44.860 --> 02:04:47.820
an underdog nobody story and stuff like that but

02:04:48.540 --> 02:04:52.540
It's not, um I don't know. It's not

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

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

02:05:04.220 --> 02:05:10.380
I think people for the most part Don't understand what a fine balancing act

02:05:11.260 --> 02:05:14.780
Infrastructure is it's also streaming. They do a lot of odd like how

02:05:15.500 --> 02:05:22.300
like how How razor thin the margins are in this industry in some ways and how

02:05:23.020 --> 02:05:27.180
How hard fought the efficiencies you gain are and how

02:05:27.740 --> 02:05:31.980
um, how dialed in and tuned your

02:05:31.980 --> 02:05:38.540
Your architecture is for your your anticipated load for your typical use case like

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

02:05:46.540 --> 02:05:49.020
Yeah, so it could be that where you are

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

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

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

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

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

02:06:25.260 --> 02:06:28.300
It's a thing guys. Yeah, and like like lou said live

02:06:29.180 --> 02:06:34.780
live is tough Live sucks so much harder like yeah, I you know

02:06:34.860 --> 02:06:39.340
I I paid for sports net when uh during the playoffs last year and like yeah

02:06:39.820 --> 02:06:44.300
I was freaking annoyed that the video quality was so crap just kind of like

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

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

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

02:07:03.260 --> 02:07:05.900
I learned so much about online video

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

02:07:13.260 --> 02:07:17.260
And then you can just do that for everyone else's. Yeah, you learn pretty funny

02:07:17.340 --> 02:07:21.100
Um Anyway, like I remember being annoyed about it, but on the flip side

02:07:21.660 --> 02:07:25.180
I mean for how much they're charging I should definitely have gotten better video quality

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

02:07:30.780 --> 02:07:35.420
Um All right, what are what are we supposed to be talking about right now?

02:07:36.380 --> 02:07:42.220
Um, oh the eu find meta nearly 800 million euro over facebook marketplace

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

02:07:48.220 --> 02:07:52.140
Which gives marketplace an unfair advantage over rival classified ad services

02:07:52.940 --> 02:07:58.380
The ec also found that meta exploited data gathered from facebook users to benefit marketplace

02:07:58.700 --> 02:08:01.820
Further solidifying marketplace's position and hampering competition

02:08:02.220 --> 02:08:06.060
This includes using personal data to display personalized ads on marketplace

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

02:08:11.980 --> 02:08:16.300
That consumers face fewer options and potentially higher prices. I I will

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

02:08:23.100 --> 02:08:27.820
but what I will say is I use facebook marketplace because it is

02:08:28.620 --> 02:08:31.180
Way better than everything that came before

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

02:08:43.100 --> 02:08:46.460
A real identity and a real user account where you can like

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

02:08:55.180 --> 02:08:58.300
But I'd like to think I can tell the difference pretty easily

02:08:58.940 --> 02:09:03.580
That is a fundamental What?

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

02:09:08.300 --> 02:09:14.460
Flawed me They make that much 50 employees annual revenue 694 million

02:09:16.380 --> 02:09:19.740
They just rake it in and always have and then just

02:09:21.500 --> 02:09:24.300
You know, what should we do with the website? I don't know just make it

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

02:09:30.620 --> 02:09:33.180
It's so basic. I love it

02:09:33.900 --> 02:09:38.140
You you back off my craigslist craigslist is a it's a stunning

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

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

02:09:53.260 --> 02:09:59.500
Yeah, it began in 1995. So it's been running for 29 years revenue 660 million

02:10:00.300 --> 02:10:03.340
Wow, okay Crazy

02:10:03.340 --> 02:10:07.100
Absolutely crazy um

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

02:10:11.740 --> 02:10:16.860
Anyways, sorry. Okay. Um Cool. So anywho, um

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?

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

02:10:35.180 --> 02:10:38.860
I don't have much hope for the next little while as far as that goes

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

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

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

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

02:11:09.660 --> 02:11:12.860
I think that improves accountability um

02:11:12.940 --> 02:11:16.060
Compared to the number of times I've been ghosted on something like craigslist

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

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

02:11:28.220 --> 02:11:31.180
Another layer of convenience craigslist emails are a little annoying

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

02:11:37.740 --> 02:11:41.820
Um, like people don't like putting a phone number on craigslist for obvious reasons

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

02:11:51.180 --> 02:11:54.220
So I like the immediacy of arranging things. I like that

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

02:11:59.740 --> 02:12:03.020
But it's not validated in any way whereas facebook. It's just

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

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

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

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

02:12:28.860 --> 02:12:33.100
But that's probably the only area where I would like to see them innovate

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

02:12:38.220 --> 02:12:40.220
I I wouldn't eat anything else

02:12:42.060 --> 02:12:44.380
I know they're a sponsor, but like

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

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

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

02:13:01.420 --> 02:13:05.420
What's cool about java is because it's so focused on computer hardware

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

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

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

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

02:13:33.900 --> 02:13:36.620
Valves like the most profitable tech company there is per employee

02:13:37.100 --> 02:13:41.340
Um by east one says that stuff's annoying on sites like zillow two

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

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

02:13:52.940 --> 02:13:58.060
Um, no interest like it that way. Yep. They absolutely like it that way because

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

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

02:14:11.740 --> 02:14:15.980
looking at the money Following the money

02:14:15.980 --> 02:14:18.460
Seeing where it goes and why and going. Oh

02:14:19.100 --> 02:14:21.260
Okay, it is in literally

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

02:14:30.060 --> 02:14:33.580
Easier experience because all I would do is make it so that they circumvent you

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

02:14:42.780 --> 02:14:47.420
Because there's ways to directly connect to the selling realtor. Um, but

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

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

02:15:11.180 --> 02:15:13.180
I can go to another one

02:15:14.860 --> 02:15:19.020
Uh, yeah, the pizza warmer is a 3d printable device

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

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

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

02:15:37.500 --> 02:15:41.660
Do you want to heat up? A thing that goes around food that is 3d printed

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?

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

02:15:54.380 --> 02:15:58.620
generally Who knows I want to see the micro plastics

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

02:16:08.780 --> 02:16:12.860
Macro plastics. Yeah, thanks Using the ps5's exhaust heat

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

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

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

02:16:36.940 --> 02:16:39.980
making a sick version

02:16:39.980 --> 02:16:41.980
of pizza heater version 2

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

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

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

02:17:03.180 --> 02:17:07.980
Maybe 30 minutes. I don't even mean 3d printing though. Like make it sick

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

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?

02:17:21.420 --> 02:17:24.220
We're going to go back to this project that was genuinely terrible

02:17:24.940 --> 02:17:28.300
And make it really good. I mean like there was the there was the car

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

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

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

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

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

02:17:59.340 --> 02:18:03.420
And then like wrapped around into a box, but no, it seems to sit on top

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

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

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

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

02:18:28.060 --> 02:18:32.380
Well, that's fine Yeah, it doesn't look like it heats very easily garbage product

02:18:33.180 --> 02:18:39.340
Pulling inspiration from pizza huts red roof the lid seamlessly opens like a laptop for easy

02:18:39.820 --> 02:18:44.380
Pizza access those things don't line up What what pizza hut?

02:18:44.700 --> 02:18:51.580
What pizza hut roofs easily seamlessly open? I also keep my pizza in laptops

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

02:19:00.700 --> 02:19:03.420
It won't go anywhere and you won't have to either

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

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

02:19:20.540 --> 02:19:24.620
This makes everything okay. I feel much more like secure as a person now

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

02:19:28.860 --> 02:19:33.180
I feel so validated by the uh ps5 warming thing by the way

02:19:34.220 --> 02:19:38.620
Not a stupid idea just bad execution. Well, this one's not called heater. I never

02:19:38.780 --> 02:19:40.780
Ah

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

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

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

02:20:01.660 --> 02:20:05.180
I'd be so down. Yeah, we'd have to figure out whatever the most like

02:20:05.660 --> 02:20:08.300
Efficient way of capturing the heat is it should be like

02:20:08.940 --> 02:20:12.860
Overly scientifically cft analysis. We would do flow calculations

02:20:12.940 --> 02:20:17.100
we could play around with the fan curves in the system to make sure that like

02:20:18.140 --> 02:20:22.060
Our our target temperature is like as hot as possible

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

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

02:20:33.580 --> 02:20:38.300
Yeah Dude, I would be I would be super down. I think it's sick

02:20:40.060 --> 02:20:43.180
I think it's sick. You could probably even like work with pizza hut

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

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

02:20:56.940 --> 02:21:00.060
Do it. I don't know. I certainly wouldn't work with pizza hut. Um

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

02:21:08.300 --> 02:21:10.460
Yeah, I just think they have a funny red hat

02:21:11.580 --> 02:21:13.580
It opens like a laptop

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

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?

02:21:25.660 --> 02:21:29.260
I don't like panna go. It's panna go canadian only though. I think so

02:21:30.140 --> 02:21:34.860
Uh, I'm pretty sure it's canadian company. Oh, okay. Well, let's see

02:21:35.820 --> 02:21:37.820
At least it was when I worked there

02:21:38.860 --> 02:21:41.020
What what just what just happened? I tried to

02:21:42.380 --> 02:21:45.980
Try to load this site and it just what just happened

02:21:46.540 --> 02:21:49.100
Okay, I'm trying to go to okay contact us. Okay

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

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

02:22:02.860 --> 02:22:04.860
Abbotsford, British Columbia

02:22:06.780 --> 02:22:09.180
Panagopolis two for one pizza place

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

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

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

02:22:29.660 --> 02:22:33.420
Crazy the headquarters is down the road from seven oaks mall. Okay. Well, there you go

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:23:07.020 --> 02:23:10.300
Like it doesn't collaborate with pizza pizza

02:23:10.460 --> 02:23:13.980
Their pizza can serve as both a construction material and content

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?

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

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

02:23:37.340 --> 02:23:41.180
But pizza pizza is a canadian brand. Oh, it is. Yeah. Oh never mind

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

02:23:47.740 --> 02:23:50.780
I don't know little caesars used to have pizza pizza as they're like

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

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

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

02:24:08.700 --> 02:24:12.540
Speaking of things that I know I gave bad advice for washing the backpack

02:24:13.500 --> 02:24:19.420
In 2022 someone asked on the forum if the LTT backpack was washer safe

02:24:20.140 --> 02:24:23.500
And uh, Linus replied in the thread saying it's probably fine

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

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

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

02:24:37.740 --> 02:24:41.260
Turns out Hey, not sure if nick has already messaged you about this

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

02:24:49.740 --> 02:24:52.300
Um, you just scroll down and there's the photo

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

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

02:25:04.140 --> 02:25:08.780
But um, anyway, we only recommend spot cleaning machine washing is not recommended

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

02:25:13.980 --> 02:25:17.100
Um, so you can mix water with a small amount of laundry detergent

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

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

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

02:25:37.260 --> 02:25:40.380
Whoops Yeah

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

02:25:44.380 --> 02:25:48.060
Where you know how you know how washers have those like the ARM things?

02:25:48.780 --> 02:25:53.180
Panels to help mix up the clothing Um, one of my shoes got stuck

02:25:53.420 --> 02:25:57.260
In between the sidewall and one of the the whatever you want to call them

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

02:26:01.660 --> 02:26:04.540
Weird and very oddly specific. I'm not sure how that happened

02:26:07.020 --> 02:26:11.340
But anyways Anyway, trust me bro. Guaranteed of the rescue

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

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

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

02:26:34.300 --> 02:26:38.540
So if you were wondering Why live service games

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

02:26:45.580 --> 02:26:51.420
27 percent of all playtime. It's only gamers fault fortnite roblox league of legends

02:26:51.980 --> 02:26:53.980
Minecraft and gta 5

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

02:27:03.020 --> 02:27:07.420
FIFA they lost licensing deal ha ha nick ploof. It's apparently worked on this one

02:27:08.060 --> 02:27:10.380
NBA 2k and call of duty

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

02:27:19.980 --> 02:27:24.460
Overwatch 2 sees about 6.4 million daily not on steam. Apparently everyone hates it there

02:27:25.340 --> 02:27:29.500
Uh fortnite sees about 3 million daily. I have a really hard time believing

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

02:27:36.780 --> 02:27:41.260
fortnite.gg Um

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

02:27:48.540 --> 02:27:51.260
The point is just millions of players playing these old games

02:27:51.900 --> 02:27:56.220
Remasters and remakes also incredibly popular warcraft 3 reforge was recently updated

02:27:56.540 --> 02:28:00.220
Actually, i'm really excited about this one. Uh, warcraft 3 reforge got a 2.0

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

02:28:05.420 --> 02:28:08.460
This was released alongside remastered warcraft 1 and warcraft 2

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

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

02:28:18.780 --> 02:28:22.460
Like I still have my key, but I lost my disc

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

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

02:28:38.620 --> 02:28:42.060
Multiple years later horizon zero dawn remastered. Why nick lufa?

02:28:42.940 --> 02:28:46.780
Resident evil 1 2 3 4. That one is weird. It's final fantasy 7 remake

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

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

02:28:58.540 --> 02:29:00.540
video game remakes and remasters

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

02:29:09.580 --> 02:29:13.820
What is the deal with this? Gamers suck

02:29:15.580 --> 02:29:20.940
Okay, another reason new triple a games are expensive while free to play games are free

02:29:21.500 --> 02:29:25.660
A lot of these games are free to play Not all of them are

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

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

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

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?

02:29:50.300 --> 02:29:52.780
I mean the fact that they had to release classic modes at all sort of

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

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

02:30:05.340 --> 02:30:10.780
that can obviously Manifest in sort of really negative manipulative ways

02:30:12.220 --> 02:30:16.460
But on paper the idea is not that crazy. It's almost like episodic gaming, but

02:30:17.580 --> 02:30:19.740
More money and more effective I guess

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

02:30:27.900 --> 02:30:30.460
spending an amount of money on that game that you think is

02:30:33.660 --> 02:30:37.180
Comparatively worth the time that you spent on it in order to reward the dev

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

02:30:43.020 --> 02:30:46.540
2015 had spent over two grand only legends. It's just like bro

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

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

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

02:31:02.220 --> 02:31:06.220
sweaty these days like wow

02:31:06.220 --> 02:31:10.460
like Genuinely spending your evening

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

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

02:31:26.300 --> 02:31:30.140
Abnormal that was something that like people who want to go pro do or something

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

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

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

02:31:49.580 --> 02:31:52.940
Back then they were weird little fun games

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

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

02:32:11.340 --> 02:32:16.780
Are we attaching more importance to our accomplishment in our hobbies because we're feeling less

02:32:17.740 --> 02:32:19.740
Fulfilled by our work

02:32:23.580 --> 02:32:27.580
Are we looking for fulfillment so likely that it's frustrating

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

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

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

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

02:32:53.820 --> 02:32:56.940
It's something to be able to grow and be good at achieve

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

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

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

02:33:15.660 --> 02:33:17.660
We talk about ramming

02:33:19.660 --> 02:33:24.700
I mean that we know about The whole male pattern anxiety thing is that uh

02:33:25.980 --> 02:33:29.180
And again, please go look this up. Don't take me at my word, but um

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

02:33:37.340 --> 02:33:40.460
Um But a lot of men tend to get

02:33:41.020 --> 02:33:46.140
Anxiety spikes because of not being able to enact positive change

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

02:33:55.500 --> 02:33:59.100
to to try to Drive things forward

02:33:59.100 --> 02:34:02.940
Rob dog here says what am I actually even achieving in my 40-hour work week?

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

02:34:08.220 --> 02:34:10.220
I don't know what they're called like ghost jobs or whatever

02:34:11.260 --> 02:34:13.260
Um, that's like a very real thing

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

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

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

02:34:36.060 --> 02:34:39.740
It's not like I planned to work at a company where progression was possible

02:34:40.220 --> 02:34:44.220
Like I got a little lucky. I worked hard. I earned my promotions obviously

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

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

02:34:56.380 --> 02:34:59.580
Or a union structure that does that rewards time

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

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

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

02:35:17.660 --> 02:35:21.660
um but um

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

02:35:28.380 --> 02:35:32.860
What would I have spent my energy on if every day I clocked in

02:35:33.580 --> 02:35:37.820
Did the same damn thing and clocked out

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

02:35:45.740 --> 02:35:49.020
But like for me my my job is what gives me fulfillment

02:35:49.740 --> 02:35:54.540
But I also have the privilege of having a job that can give me fulfillment

02:35:55.420 --> 02:35:58.780
And I do I think that is a notable

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:36:35.100 --> 02:36:40.940
But I think as is almost always the case the truth probably lies somewhere in between

02:36:43.340 --> 02:36:46.140
Yep for most people. Um, but yeah, it's just

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

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

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

02:37:03.180 --> 02:37:07.900
Shroud was fairly recently quoted saying many things in random pickup games on counter strikes

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

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

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

02:37:27.020 --> 02:37:29.660
That's like that's a completely sad state of affairs

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

02:37:35.500 --> 02:37:37.500
but it was

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

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

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

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

02:38:04.140 --> 02:38:07.260
Yeah, I don't even remember the last time a major streamer got caught cheating

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

02:38:13.260 --> 02:38:15.900
Yeah, okay. Seriously. There's there's a youtuber that has a

02:38:17.100 --> 02:38:21.100
A series that has very many episodes in it that is just streamers getting caught cheating

02:38:26.380 --> 02:38:29.420
Yeah sad

02:38:29.420 --> 02:38:32.060
It's rough. Well, I think it's time for darn Clara, dude

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

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

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

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

02:38:57.260 --> 02:39:01.100
Unresolved now. So got it. We'll let that kind of sort itself out. Yeah

02:39:02.540 --> 02:39:04.540
Oh

02:39:06.060 --> 02:39:10.540
How are you guys doing? How are you doing? I'm all right

02:39:11.260 --> 02:39:14.940
Ankle's how long do you think it'll be? uh

02:39:14.940 --> 02:39:19.180
I sprained my ankle at This dufus's party. Um

02:39:20.140 --> 02:39:23.500
I blame you I blame you fair enough. Um

02:39:24.300 --> 02:39:26.940
Basically what happened was I used to play paintball all the time

02:39:27.580 --> 02:39:31.580
And I scratched a bit of an itch for me. Yeah, it was fun. I well

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

02:39:40.060 --> 02:39:43.340
Go ahead public paintball fields

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

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

02:39:54.780 --> 02:39:58.540
My uh, you call them markers. I had to replace my my gun my marker

02:39:59.340 --> 02:40:01.340
Three separate times in one game

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:40:46.540 --> 02:40:49.100
But I saw that movement happen and I knew it was you

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

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

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

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

02:41:12.460 --> 02:41:15.900
So the problem is that because I was shooting blanks

02:41:16.700 --> 02:41:18.700
You know in more ways than one

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

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

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

02:41:47.660 --> 02:41:51.420
Yeah, people would fake and it didn't work when I was on that first map

02:41:51.820 --> 02:41:53.980
People figured out that I wasn't firing anything

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:42:27.820 --> 02:42:30.300
And so all these like pubs at the field are like

02:42:31.340 --> 02:42:35.020
They were they were pretty bad and I got up dude. I got I got

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

02:42:40.780 --> 02:42:43.820
Trying to get far enough up that I could like

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

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

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

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

02:43:10.300 --> 02:43:13.820
I had one opportunity to shoot someone the whole game and it was me nice

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

02:43:20.860 --> 02:43:23.660
I didn't care about destroying. So I never had any traction

02:43:24.620 --> 02:43:29.580
Specifically the organizer of this party Bless her by the way

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:44:00.540 --> 02:44:03.420
So that I could kind of cover them to get into a position that would be

02:44:04.140 --> 02:44:07.660
moderately useful And I went sliding into cover

02:44:08.620 --> 02:44:12.540
except I was wearing hiking boots instead of just garbage shoes

02:44:13.500 --> 02:44:18.540
Sudden traction. Yeah. So man, I immediately knew that I was

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

02:44:28.540 --> 02:44:32.940
Because I at that point thought it was probably a grade two sprain

02:44:33.500 --> 02:44:36.140
I think now it's just a really bad grade one

02:44:36.780 --> 02:44:40.860
Um, I was on the badminton court last night. So this is about a week later

02:44:41.420 --> 02:44:46.300
and I Would describe my strength as about 30 percent

02:44:46.940 --> 02:44:50.620
And my range of motion is a hundred percent with only a little bit of pain

02:44:50.860 --> 02:44:53.500
But if I try to actually put any load on it, it's probably like

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

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

02:45:04.220 --> 02:45:07.100
Get getting some last minute, you know, feel in

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,

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

02:45:22.220 --> 02:45:27.500
Some some of the ways in which delta force paintball in maple ridge is trash

02:45:28.380 --> 02:45:31.900
Are are subjective so

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

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

02:45:46.780 --> 02:45:51.820
So, uh, one of some of the reasons that this location is garbage

02:45:52.540 --> 02:45:57.740
Are subjective. Uh, for example, it's a 50 cal field which basically means

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

02:46:04.860 --> 02:46:09.900
Yeah, but but uh, standard paintballs are 68 cal. So quite a bit larger

02:46:10.300 --> 02:46:14.700
Now the benefit of 50 cal is that it's friendlier for like children

02:46:15.180 --> 02:46:19.340
Um, and people Who are

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

02:46:27.500 --> 02:46:30.060
Um, but it comes with some very

02:46:30.860 --> 02:46:36.300
objective problems So one of them is that because they have less mass

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

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

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

02:46:55.980 --> 02:47:00.620
So they were they were kind of like They were full ish

02:47:00.620 --> 02:47:04.700
Barrels are garbage on those rental markers, which is pretty typical, but they were

02:47:05.580 --> 02:47:09.900
Garbage rental marker barrels and the number three is as far as I could tell

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

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

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

02:47:29.180 --> 02:47:34.620
I'm like, bro. Quite bro. It's it's wet. There's absolutely no possibility

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

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

02:47:44.780 --> 02:47:49.660
Problem number two is that they because they have less momentum inertia

02:47:50.140 --> 02:47:53.660
Kinetic energy, let's go with that because they're carrying less kinetic energy

02:47:54.380 --> 02:47:56.700
But they have the same thickness of shell

02:47:57.420 --> 02:48:01.260
With less overall weight and a higher shell to goo ratio

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

02:48:06.380 --> 02:48:09.580
One of the maps, uh, the actually the most fun map that we had

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

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

02:48:20.540 --> 02:48:23.020
So you had to pull on a rope and raise a flag

02:48:23.900 --> 02:48:27.820
and One of the the ladies that wasn't in our group

02:48:28.540 --> 02:48:32.540
Ran up to the flag and started pulling it up. My brother just

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

02:48:38.380 --> 02:48:41.340
And the field rules were if the paintball doesn't break, you're not out. So

02:48:41.980 --> 02:48:45.180
She got shot a ton of times and it probably hurt quite a bit

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?

02:48:51.980 --> 02:48:57.260
Like anyways for context they were on different teams. Yeah. Yeah. Um, okay

02:48:57.340 --> 02:49:01.900
So that's that's issue number two with 50 cal issue number three

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

02:49:11.340 --> 02:49:14.940
So they did like constant respawning over longer rounds

02:49:15.500 --> 02:49:19.260
um, they Uh

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

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

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

02:49:33.500 --> 02:49:36.860
It was also difficult because I find the the 50 cal

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

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

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

02:49:56.620 --> 02:49:59.980
With the 50 cal I couldn't tell if I was hitting or not

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

02:50:03.420 --> 02:50:07.740
I think they're out of range and then move closer um, so so

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

02:50:13.020 --> 02:50:16.060
That it's easy to just like use everything without really thinking about it

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

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

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

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

02:50:43.820 --> 02:50:47.900
I have an a5. It's just like a A beater

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

02:50:53.340 --> 02:50:57.820
Wipe it down and keep going marker um tipman. Yeah tipman a5

02:50:59.740 --> 02:51:03.420
No decent marker is available in 50 cal

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

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

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

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

02:51:31.820 --> 02:51:36.860
I I 100% get that but the flip side is I can't even use

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

02:51:47.660 --> 02:51:50.220
Markers. Yeah, so so those are my issues with 50 cal

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

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

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

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

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

02:52:22.380 --> 02:52:24.940
You get gloves a green guard blah blah blah gets all this stuff

02:52:26.700 --> 02:52:33.500
Sorry, what A half case for 160 canadian dollars

02:52:34.220 --> 02:52:39.020
Yeah They don't they they warn you they tell you on the day

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

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

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

02:52:56.300 --> 02:52:59.980
So if not, everybody wants a black ops pack with a thousand paintballs

02:53:00.540 --> 02:53:07.740
um T s and 500 rounds sounds like a ton until your guns are incredibly

02:53:07.900 --> 02:53:12.220
The basic recruit pack. Yeah until your guns are incredibly inaccurate and they have no range

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

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

02:53:23.420 --> 02:53:25.420
So you end up over firing a ton

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

02:53:32.620 --> 02:53:36.780
I actually do understand the argument that I've heard for expensive paint at

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

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

02:53:50.540 --> 02:53:56.380
Ding nickel nickel It makes people theoretically conserve conserve ammunition

02:53:56.780 --> 02:54:00.220
And it makes those like speedballer guys avoid those fields, which

02:54:00.860 --> 02:54:05.740
Is a more noob friendly environment or a more intermediate friendly environment

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

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

02:54:15.020 --> 02:54:19.580
Bring your own gun only day and the paint's cheaper. For example

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

02:54:30.060 --> 02:54:34.300
For a thousand rounds is

02:54:34.300 --> 02:54:37.660
Utterly ludicrous. It's crazy pricing

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

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

02:54:49.580 --> 02:54:53.660
You just get the paint and then you go. Holy crap. That's expensive

02:54:53.660 --> 02:54:56.300
Then they throw in like a couple little random little extra things

02:54:57.500 --> 02:54:59.660
like here is for um

02:55:00.780 --> 02:55:07.020
Here's for context. Here's a 2000 count case of marbolizer from empire

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

02:55:11.820 --> 02:55:16.140
I haven't really played in a long time. So whatever the point is $65

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

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

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?

02:55:39.980 --> 02:55:45.100
Ridiculous And I haven't even told you guys the worst part

02:55:45.900 --> 02:55:49.900
um They don't count headshots

02:55:50.860 --> 02:55:58.380
That is Beyond a shadow of a doubt designed to make it so that you just

02:55:59.100 --> 02:56:04.060
Are plink plink plink wasting paint at each other because marker shots count

02:56:04.700 --> 02:56:08.060
But headshots and they didn't even mention that I had to ask. Yeah

02:56:08.780 --> 02:56:10.780
Yeah, headshots do not count

02:56:13.420 --> 02:56:16.300
75 percent of the exposed

02:56:18.140 --> 02:56:21.580
Opponent Is their head?

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

02:56:28.940 --> 02:56:35.020
Yeah So pretty much also the the safety never go there the safety presentation

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

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

02:56:46.540 --> 02:56:50.460
Crazy crazy crazy crazy that being said and I was also to know

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

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

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

02:57:10.700 --> 02:57:13.980
And I sat out for probably a third of that round

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

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

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

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

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

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

02:57:52.940 --> 02:57:56.140
Did an amazing job of putting together an extremely special

02:57:56.700 --> 02:57:59.980
Party for which was really cool. Generally really freaking

02:58:00.700 --> 02:58:04.460
Um, yeah, so so anyway, and they were basically just like

02:58:05.340 --> 02:58:11.340
No We're not interested. They blamed it on the weather after buying the expensive case

02:58:11.660 --> 02:58:15.420
And I have played plenty in adverse weather conditions

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

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

02:58:29.420 --> 02:58:32.780
Yeah, obviously like, you know balls are gonna curve or whatever else

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

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

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

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

02:58:56.140 --> 02:58:59.340
That's a pretty normal condition. So you should probably account for it

02:59:00.140 --> 02:59:04.780
So, yeah, I I left them an absolutely scathing review on google maps and

02:59:05.660 --> 02:59:07.660
F*** you delta force paintball

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

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

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

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

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

02:59:36.780 --> 02:59:39.340
Yeah, because like I've I haven't gone paintballing

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

02:59:44.940 --> 02:59:47.740
But I haven't had a field experience that bad before

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

02:59:54.780 --> 02:59:58.060
Yeah, there was a bunch a bunch of the low rating reviews were like

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

03:00:06.940 --> 03:00:10.460
Ridiculous because it's effectively a paid review at that point. Um

03:00:10.620 --> 03:00:15.180
Um Yeah, anyways apparently the fight's starting

03:00:15.900 --> 03:00:18.940
So should we just give up on retaining people on wancho at this point?

03:00:20.380 --> 03:00:23.900
Probably 8 30. Yeah, I gotta go in one minute. Oh, yeah, right

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

03:00:28.140 --> 03:00:31.260
Uh, let me do the after dark way. Are you getting in position there? Heck, yeah

03:00:31.580 --> 03:00:37.100
Uh greetings dll waiting for cargo pants to come back in 32

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

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

03:00:52.620 --> 03:00:55.020
I don't actually know anything about this. I don't remember anything

03:00:56.060 --> 03:00:59.420
So there you go. By the way, I got you something me. Yeah

03:00:59.500 --> 03:01:07.260
Yeah Your sweater, what is this? Oh my god, this is horrible. I suck

03:01:11.020 --> 03:01:13.020
Oh nice

03:01:14.460 --> 03:01:16.940
Nice these coffee zilla

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

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

03:01:28.540 --> 03:01:31.340
Um, this is funding coffee zilla's

03:01:33.020 --> 03:01:36.700
Legal battle with which which paul is he fighting with?

03:01:37.980 --> 03:01:42.380
I think it's logan paul coffee zilla. Yeah, logan paul. Yeah, it's logan paul

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

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

03:01:57.580 --> 03:01:59.580
But I still like him

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

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

03:02:15.020 --> 03:02:17.260
OLED monitors should look pretty good

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

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

03:02:28.940 --> 03:02:33.740
How has your experience been maintaining both a forum versus a discord server?

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

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

03:02:50.540 --> 03:02:52.700
I've been on the discord a couple times I think

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

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

03:03:05.660 --> 03:03:10.620
I didn't really post much just kind of hung around long time listener first time

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

03:03:23.340 --> 03:03:25.660
Get a butter up the curator

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?

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

03:03:42.060 --> 03:03:45.180
I don't like so I'll just like have breakfast cereal for dinner

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

03:03:49.900 --> 03:03:53.100
I have food prep. So I go to the fridge and go into microwave

03:03:53.340 --> 03:03:58.140
three minutes Cottage cheese

03:03:58.780 --> 03:04:02.140
I think I'd rather die than eat cottage cheese cottage cheese chicken

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

03:04:07.500 --> 03:04:09.900
bok choy cottage cheese chicken rice

03:04:11.500 --> 03:04:17.180
frank's red Terrible add the frank's red good. Huh interesting

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

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

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

03:04:40.780 --> 03:04:44.620
Uh Was I sick at LTX once?

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

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?

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

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

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

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

03:05:24.860 --> 03:05:26.860
I don't know the point is um

03:05:27.980 --> 03:05:29.980
Inconvenient sickness

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

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

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

03:05:47.660 --> 03:05:51.580
Yvonne's got her phone next to me. My voice is hilarious

03:05:52.220 --> 03:05:55.740
Like it's one of those situations where when you call in sick

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

03:06:03.420 --> 03:06:07.420
Horrible. It was a different era. You know pre-covid was actually a very different time

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

03:06:11.660 --> 03:06:14.780
But at one of the packs east I was sick

03:06:15.420 --> 03:06:17.980
Uh, and I didn't know about, you know

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

03:06:26.780 --> 03:06:30.460
buckles Oh, boy, and oh

03:06:30.700 --> 03:06:34.620
candy little uh sugar candy o-ring looking things

03:06:35.180 --> 03:06:40.540
And before every major take I would take some buckles in an o-ring

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

03:06:46.220 --> 03:06:48.700
So every major take was essentially a whole video

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

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

03:07:02.700 --> 03:07:07.340
I thought you were just slamming lean. We we did basically you had a crazy. Yeah

03:07:09.420 --> 03:07:11.980
I don't think it was enough to like actually do anything. Wow

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

03:07:19.500 --> 03:07:22.300
I heard about that and was like, huh, that's just what you do

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

03:08:10.540 --> 03:08:12.540
You're shifting expenses

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

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

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

03:08:33.020 --> 03:08:37.580
Now if you're doing advanced stuff with excel, that is not true

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

03:08:43.900 --> 03:08:46.300
but you know, I think sometimes people just hate change

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

03:08:52.300 --> 03:08:54.300
I think both can be true. Um

03:08:57.020 --> 03:08:59.500
Yeah, I can also understand like if an employer is

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

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

03:09:13.820 --> 03:09:18.380
yeah, so like Trying to make it work. That's all I can really say

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

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

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

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

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

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

03:09:59.260 --> 03:10:02.860
So it's it's something that doesn't really cost anything to buy into

03:10:03.660 --> 03:10:08.540
Other than just that it limits your case selection I think it's cool though

03:10:09.180 --> 03:10:11.180
What's up with

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

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

03:10:27.580 --> 03:10:33.020
um to turn one-time buys into run rate business

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

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

03:10:46.940 --> 03:10:50.700
um But the reality of it is those items that

03:10:51.340 --> 03:10:55.180
We sell through and then don't restock we don't restock because they

03:10:55.900 --> 03:10:58.380
Just don't have the demand to sustain another

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

03:11:06.380 --> 03:11:10.220
Just like paying slave wages to some poor temmyu schlub

03:11:11.500 --> 03:11:16.460
to to to effectively like carbon copy one-offs, you know like

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

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

03:11:28.540 --> 03:11:30.540
I

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

03:11:39.100 --> 03:11:43.420
He said he wanted one. Uh, we are not working on that right now. Why not?

03:11:43.900 --> 03:11:47.660
Um, because we can only defend yourself. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine

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

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

03:12:02.940 --> 03:12:04.940
for the brand

03:12:06.060 --> 03:12:10.140
We're approaching We're not that far away

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

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

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

03:12:28.780 --> 03:12:31.420
More than half of my life is Yvonne era

03:12:32.140 --> 03:12:34.380
and more than half of my adult life is

03:12:35.980 --> 03:12:37.980
LMG era so, um

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

03:12:44.940 --> 03:12:48.780
This is technically my first job out of post-secondary

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

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

03:12:56.140 --> 03:12:58.540
Um, that's an achievement unlocked. I suppose

03:13:00.060 --> 03:13:03.500
Yeah, man, what did we what did we learn about ourselves?

03:13:07.740 --> 03:13:10.940
I had to I had a lot of growing up to do

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

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

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

03:13:32.620 --> 03:13:35.260
Um, and that was largely driven by

03:13:36.700 --> 03:13:41.180
work To be honest, I've definitely made observations

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

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

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

03:14:01.660 --> 03:14:04.220
I'm can be a bit of a control freak. Those two things are

03:14:05.260 --> 03:14:09.660
Pretty limited both of those though That wasn't a learning experience

03:14:09.740 --> 03:14:11.740
Like a lot of the reason that we started LMG

03:14:14.140 --> 03:14:17.980
I didn't want to work for someone who wasn't um you

03:14:17.980 --> 03:14:22.860
a mentor And didn't I believe have the capacity to be a mentor

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

03:14:31.100 --> 03:14:34.140
Yeah, um, yeah, he definitely knew that like a lot of

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

03:14:39.980 --> 03:14:42.700
Your 20s you kind of know who you are as a person. I've

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

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

03:14:57.820 --> 03:15:01.340
Like I can in in ways that only business owners

03:15:01.900 --> 03:15:04.300
Can understand I have seen

03:15:06.060 --> 03:15:10.860
I have seen so many train wrecks that the second

03:15:11.100 --> 03:15:13.100
The locomotive goes on the rails

03:15:14.140 --> 03:15:17.260
I know what's going to happen and it can be very frustrating for me

03:15:18.220 --> 03:15:22.940
To watch everybody else Go let's see how it plays out. Um

03:15:24.780 --> 03:15:27.900
You know you and and pain is nature's teacher, right? So

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

03:15:37.420 --> 03:15:41.660
um, but it it can be exhausting to to not have people just

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

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

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

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

03:16:08.220 --> 03:16:11.260
They're their fail pain is not real

03:16:12.060 --> 03:16:16.460
it's just like Oh, I am I am I am morale sad

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

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

03:16:27.180 --> 03:16:30.140
Yeah, that's true. I mean, that's that's the dynamic, right?

03:16:30.220 --> 03:16:33.660
That's why that's why a lot of people decide to take the paycheck

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

03:16:40.780 --> 03:16:45.580
Not entirely. Yeah, but day to day. Yeah in a in a big way

03:16:45.820 --> 03:16:47.820
Okay

03:16:50.700 --> 03:16:55.580
Next sure thing. Hey DLL. You all got me buying hoodies every week. Let's go

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?

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

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

03:17:18.620 --> 03:17:22.620
um Hmm

03:17:22.620 --> 03:17:25.100
Nick would probably remember but there is absolutely

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

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

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

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

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

03:17:53.900 --> 03:17:56.700
It might have been just something we saw somewhere. I'm not sure

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

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

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

03:18:12.860 --> 03:18:16.700
That's painting and highly opinionated painting is not rocket surgery

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

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

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

03:18:36.860 --> 03:18:38.860
so basically where it's like, uh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

03:19:17.340 --> 03:19:21.580
Do you all think I should get the 4 000 series on black friday or still wait for the 5 000 series?

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

03:19:27.340 --> 03:19:34.060
That's all I got Well, then we'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel. You're gonna go watch the fight at the watch party
