Hello Internet

00:00:00 ◼   ► okay Brady I need an honest answer how

00:00:02 ◼   ► stupid do I look are you wearing like

00:00:07 ◼   ► the earbuds with no wise the new apple

00:00:10 ◼   ► thing in me

00:00:11 ◼   ► yeah i got the new apple earpods yeah

00:00:13 ◼   ► I'm not cool with him you're not cool

00:00:15 ◼   ► with them I wanted your opinion on this

00:00:17 ◼   ► you're gonna give them a thumbs down yep

00:00:19 ◼   ► down so the answer to how stupid do I

00:00:22 ◼   ► look is very more stupid than you should

00:00:25 ◼   ► the lack of wires coming out of these

00:00:27 ◼   ► devices now I'm just realizing at every

00:00:29 ◼   ► turn the problems is eventually going to

00:00:30 ◼   ► cause me if I stay in the apple

00:00:32 ◼   ► ecosystem you know I went and looked at

00:00:34 ◼   ► google pixel in the shop I wouldn't ask

00:00:36 ◼   ► to hold 10 did you I did

00:00:39 ◼   ► that's how serious I'm getting there

00:00:41 ◼   ► that's very serious did you check out

00:00:42 ◼   ► what the wolf emoji looks like on the

00:00:44 ◼   ► pixel was that your number one thing

00:00:45 ◼   ► that you're a Salesman didn't get to

00:00:47 ◼   ► that stage they had this huge security

00:00:50 ◼   ► contraption bolted to it looks so you

00:00:52 ◼   ► couldn't really get a good feel of what

00:00:53 ◼   ► it was like without this huge thing

00:00:55 ◼   ► glued to the bottom of a bit cord and I

00:00:57 ◼   ► was like this is ridiculous man I want

00:00:59 ◼   ► to hold one with that this stupid thing

00:01:00 ◼   ► so they had to go out the back and get

00:01:02 ◼   ► one of their own and bring it out to me

00:01:03 ◼   ► to home

00:01:04 ◼   ► what like the salesman's private phone

00:01:06 ◼   ► yeah which had some skin on it as well

00:01:10 ◼   ► it was bloody amateur hour so I yes I do

00:01:14 ◼   ► think those pods the Daft they look so

00:01:16 ◼   ► fragile in the ear to that just like

00:01:18 ◼   ► gonna fall out all the time do they stay

00:01:20 ◼   ► in nicely i have to say the airport's do

00:01:22 ◼   ► stay in remarkably well I actually think

00:01:25 ◼   ► that they stay in better than the wired

00:01:27 ◼   ► headphones because you don't have the

00:01:29 ◼   ► wire tugging on them all the time

00:01:31 ◼   ► mm I've seen a few people wearing them

00:01:33 ◼   ► around London while I'm wearing my own

00:01:35 ◼   ► headphones and every time I see somebody

00:01:37 ◼   ► else wearing the Apple earpods I think

00:01:39 ◼   ► wow that looks really silly and then of

00:01:41 ◼   ► course realized that I to one of these

00:01:43 ◼   ► people walking around looking really

00:01:44 ◼   ► silly yeah i think this is like a

00:01:46 ◼   ► perfect example of how like fashion is

00:01:49 ◼   ► accepted among people like it's a thing

00:01:50 ◼   ► that looks strange because people

00:01:52 ◼   ► haven't seen it i don't know i think

00:01:54 ◼   ► people get used to it but it's very very

00:01:56 ◼   ► weird to have them you know great you

00:01:58 ◼   ► are an Apple watch that in my eyes

00:01:59 ◼   ► you're shameless

00:02:00 ◼   ► ok I think clearly as far as sticking

00:02:03 ◼   ► out in a crowd that these of course

00:02:06 ◼   ► white apple air pods stick out a

00:02:09 ◼   ► thousand times more than Apple watch

00:02:12 ◼   ► so I'm going

00:02:12 ◼   ► disagree with you on that one I'm sure

00:02:14 ◼   ► we'll get used to them in no time and

00:02:15 ◼   ► the world keeps turning you know it's

00:02:17 ◼   ► Australia Day today by the way as we're

00:02:19 ◼   ► recording is that Australian

00:02:21 ◼   ► independence day

00:02:22 ◼   ► mm no it's not independence day at marks

00:02:25 ◼   ► when the first flight arrived in

00:02:27 ◼   ► Australia to sort of start colonizing

00:02:30 ◼   ► that's kind of controversial because I

00:02:32 ◼   ► guess you could say it's wipe out the

00:02:34 ◼   ► Aborigines day

00:02:36 ◼   ► well i hope the meaning of the day is

00:02:38 ◼   ► changing a bit now there's a bit more

00:02:39 ◼   ► recognition of past wrongs but the date

00:02:42 ◼   ► does actually celebrate the arrival of

00:02:44 ◼   ► the first fleet the arrival of the first

00:02:46 ◼   ► flight was there because of other

00:02:47 ◼   ► reasons funny banned Sydney how about

00:02:49 ◼   ► detailed and kind of germs and steel

00:02:50 ◼   ► that's why the Aborigines didn't build

00:02:52 ◼   ► the first fleet well happy australia day

00:02:55 ◼   ► thank you

00:02:57 ◼   ► now grey yeah it's been such a long time

00:03:01 ◼   ► since we spoke because you've been away

00:03:04 ◼   ► having special great i'm again when you

00:03:06 ◼   ► sort of disappear into the mountains and

00:03:08 ◼   ► meditate on the meaning of life of that

00:03:11 ◼   ► I have accumulated 36 items on my little

00:03:15 ◼   ► document of things I'd like to talk

00:03:17 ◼   ► about next time we do hello internet and

00:03:18 ◼   ► we can't possibly do them all so I've

00:03:21 ◼   ► done bit of a color but I have to warn

00:03:23 ◼   ► you I'm overflowing with things i want

00:03:26 ◼   ► to talk about

00:03:26 ◼   ► luckily a lot of them when i read back

00:03:28 ◼   ► through the list now I think I don't

00:03:29 ◼   ► care about that as much as I thought I

00:03:30 ◼   ► did but some of them are still on my

00:03:32 ◼   ► mind say we might spill this list over a

00:03:35 ◼   ► few episodes like that works fine for me

00:03:37 ◼   ► Brady i thoroughly welcome your 36 items

00:03:41 ◼   ► of follow-up but probably the highlight

00:03:43 ◼   ► of the last month or so while you've

00:03:46 ◼   ► been off on planet gray has been that I

00:03:50 ◼   ► went to a hello Internet vinyl listening

00:03:53 ◼   ► body i am genuinely so envious of this I

00:03:59 ◼   ► really Envy is that this is a thing that

00:04:01 ◼   ► you did you didn't just go to a party

00:04:03 ◼   ► tho Brady I think the key element here

00:04:05 ◼   ► is that you crashed a hello Internet

00:04:09 ◼   ► listening party I did I went an amount

00:04:12 ◼   ► they didn't know I was coming and i'm a

00:04:14 ◼   ► bit reluctant to say this because i

00:04:17 ◼   ► think it will make them feel like

00:04:18 ◼   ► disappointed by my attendance in some

00:04:20 ◼   ► ways but I actually told you I was going

00:04:23 ◼   ► to do it because I the one I went to was

00:04:25 ◼   ► in London

00:04:25 ◼   ► and I said gray I've seen on reddit that

00:04:27 ◼   ► these people are getting together and

00:04:29 ◼   ► they're meeting in this picture but

00:04:30 ◼   ► after a final party i'm thinking of

00:04:31 ◼   ► going do you want to come with me and

00:04:34 ◼   ► you were totally up for you actually

00:04:37 ◼   ► said I'd love to do it but unfortunately

00:04:39 ◼   ► you couldn't because you had just gone

00:04:41 ◼   ► away like the day before

00:04:43 ◼   ► mhm so I don't want those teams here at

00:04:45 ◼   ► the party do you think are we could have

00:04:46 ◼   ► had great that would have been even

00:04:47 ◼   ► better we got start with Brady

00:04:50 ◼   ► second-rate Brady could have had a great

00:04:53 ◼   ► great now and I so it was just me better

00:04:58 ◼   ► it was very good fun and also though I

00:05:00 ◼   ► have to say after what grace said in a

00:05:03 ◼   ► previous episode about how I should

00:05:05 ◼   ► never contact him asking him to send a

00:05:07 ◼   ► video because it's something like he

00:05:09 ◼   ► wouldn't be willing to do the way that

00:05:10 ◼   ► directed to help me out no of course not

00:05:12 ◼   ► no I would never do something like that

00:05:13 ◼   ► great did send the video unannounced I

00:05:16 ◼   ► was just sitting at the table with the

00:05:17 ◼   ► team's chewing the fat having paints are

00:05:19 ◼   ► having a chat and suddenly my phone

00:05:20 ◼   ► pings and it was a video message from

00:05:22 ◼   ► gray like to the team's was like I was

00:05:26 ◼   ► great just sent you all the message

00:05:27 ◼   ► who wants to see it and seriously a few

00:05:30 ◼   ► people considered leaving the room

00:05:32 ◼   ► because they didn't want to see your

00:05:33 ◼   ► face like we're going on I don't know

00:05:35 ◼   ► what to do

00:05:35 ◼   ► those are the best kind of listeners as

00:05:37 ◼   ► far as I'm concerned they were really

00:05:38 ◼   ► serious about their face boilers in the

00:05:41 ◼   ► end everyone stayed and watched your

00:05:43 ◼   ► little message as well so the idea of

00:05:46 ◼   ► crashing the hello Internet listening

00:05:47 ◼   ► party it really appealed to me I really

00:05:50 ◼   ► regretted that I couldn't be there and

00:05:51 ◼   ► so I felt at least send a video right I

00:05:53 ◼   ► can be there sort of remotely kind of in

00:05:55 ◼   ► a little bit of a sad way and i was

00:05:57 ◼   ► wondering if anybody was going to stand

00:05:59 ◼   ► on the other side of the phone while the

00:06:00 ◼   ► message was playing so they didn't have

00:06:02 ◼   ► to actually get the face boiled I have

00:06:04 ◼   ► to say to the people who attended the

00:06:05 ◼   ► party just to be clear

00:06:07 ◼   ► Brady like eighty percent of the value

00:06:10 ◼   ► of getting us to the party because brady

00:06:12 ◼   ► is the life of the party

00:06:14 ◼   ► I am NOT the life of the party well

00:06:16 ◼   ► whether that's true or not that's what

00:06:17 ◼   ► they got so

00:06:19 ◼   ► but so how was it from your perspective

00:06:21 ◼   ► we haven't discussed it all like I'm

00:06:23 ◼   ► dying to know how did the logistics of

00:06:24 ◼   ► this go down well it was it some

00:06:27 ◼   ► location in London and I knew their

00:06:30 ◼   ► meeting in the basement of a pizza place

00:06:31 ◼   ► but i had no idea how many people were

00:06:34 ◼   ► gonna be there and I was thinking it

00:06:36 ◼   ► would be two or three people

00:06:38 ◼   ► mm I thought it might feel a bit strange

00:06:40 ◼   ► flat just two people are sitting

00:06:42 ◼   ► listening to a record and I turn up and

00:06:44 ◼   ► they're like are high so I wanted to

00:06:46 ◼   ► find out information without spoiling

00:06:48 ◼   ► the fact i was thinking of going and

00:06:50 ◼   ► after spending way too long on a train

00:06:52 ◼   ► with flaky 3g reception trying to set up

00:06:55 ◼   ► a fake reddit account which is much

00:06:58 ◼   ► harder than you told me it would be no I

00:07:00 ◼   ► don't know what you mean with your

00:07:01 ◼   ► kingdom and thumbs but it takes two

00:07:03 ◼   ► seconds to set up a sock puppet account

00:07:05 ◼   ► on reddit to sac there i was having a

00:07:07 ◼   ► few problems so I said after the captain

00:07:09 ◼   ► contact the organizer and said is it

00:07:11 ◼   ► still on

00:07:12 ◼   ► I'm hoping that he would like contact me

00:07:14 ◼   ► back and say yeah there's how many of

00:07:16 ◼   ► the many people coming and he took ages

00:07:19 ◼   ► to reply to them and then eventually he

00:07:22 ◼   ► didn't he just said yes and I didn't

00:07:24 ◼   ► want to like seem too nosy because that

00:07:26 ◼   ► would give it away so i just had to like

00:07:28 ◼   ► leave it at that okay well I'm going on

00:07:32 ◼   ► I don't know who's gonna be there at

00:07:33 ◼   ► like the idea that didn't want to raise

00:07:35 ◼   ► suspicions that a brand-new reddit

00:07:38 ◼   ► account might be yuge just has that

00:07:41 ◼   ► information about crashing the party I

00:07:43 ◼   ► don't think this would cross anybody's

00:07:45 ◼   ► mind that wondering like hey this new

00:07:47 ◼   ► guy do you think it's brady I was

00:07:50 ◼   ► probably overthinking a little bit

00:07:52 ◼   ► anyway

00:07:53 ◼   ► yeah based on our text message

00:07:54 ◼   ► conversations about this you were

00:07:55 ◼   ► definitely overthinking it and

00:07:56 ◼   ► overcautious but it was delightful to

00:07:58 ◼   ► meet ya

00:07:59 ◼   ► so then I got to the pizza place and I

00:08:02 ◼   ► said is there a group of people

00:08:03 ◼   ► downstairs in our life

00:08:05 ◼   ► yep then just as I was getting to the

00:08:07 ◼   ► bottom of the stairs I bumped into

00:08:08 ◼   ► someone who turned out to be the

00:08:10 ◼   ► organizer and like I didn't really know

00:08:13 ◼   ► what kind of reaction to expect it's not

00:08:15 ◼   ► like you know Elvis has turned up or

00:08:16 ◼   ► something it's just like some dude say I

00:08:19 ◼   ► wasn't expecting like you know

00:08:21 ◼   ► screams of joy or anything like that and

00:08:23 ◼   ► he just kind of went Brady the best way

00:08:28 ◼   ► I can describe is it was like I had said

00:08:31 ◼   ► I might come but I wasn't sure

00:08:33 ◼   ► the Hat turns out ahead that was how I

00:08:35 ◼   ► would describe the reaction i tell you

00:08:39 ◼   ► what it was really great and we had a

00:08:41 ◼   ► brilliant brilliant night it was not

00:08:43 ◼   ► really good fun everyone was really

00:08:45 ◼   ► great

00:08:46 ◼   ► there was about 10 people there i think

00:08:48 ◼   ► and we ordered pizzas and we had some

00:08:51 ◼   ► beers and then put on side one and then

00:08:55 ◼   ► put on side two and I tell you what the

00:08:59 ◼   ► most interesting thing for me was

00:09:01 ◼   ► because I never thinks about hello

00:09:02 ◼   ► internet huh I never think of it as

00:09:04 ◼   ► something that's funny

00:09:06 ◼   ► mmm i totally understand like I just

00:09:08 ◼   ► think it's you and me talking we joke

00:09:10 ◼   ► around with each other because that's

00:09:11 ◼   ► just what we do but like the thing that

00:09:13 ◼   ► surprised me was how often people were

00:09:14 ◼   ► laughing at the podcast like it was a

00:09:17 ◼   ► funny show em and I got great pleasure

00:09:19 ◼   ► from that because it's always a nice

00:09:20 ◼   ► thing isn't it when people are laughing

00:09:21 ◼   ► at things that are supposed to be

00:09:24 ◼   ► entertaining and you know we never get

00:09:25 ◼   ► feedback from an audience that we never

00:09:27 ◼   ► know what people think and saying people

00:09:29 ◼   ► smile and also seeing people like nor

00:09:31 ◼   ► shake their head or are you know typical

00:09:33 ◼   ► gray or saying people look at each other

00:09:36 ◼   ► and not all the in jokes and stuff it

00:09:38 ◼   ► was like a human beings do this into

00:09:40 ◼   ► this I kind of forget that sometimes it

00:09:42 ◼   ► was a really nice experience just to be

00:09:44 ◼   ► observing people listening to the

00:09:46 ◼   ► podcast and then afterwards we hung out

00:09:48 ◼   ► and we spoke and it was a really great

00:09:50 ◼   ► evening

00:09:50 ◼   ► I totally agree with your description of

00:09:53 ◼   ► this thing because when we're recording

00:09:54 ◼   ► the show and when I'm editing the show I

00:09:58 ◼   ► always very much think of it in the same

00:10:00 ◼   ► way that it's you and me having a

00:10:01 ◼   ► conversation and the listener is just a

00:10:05 ◼   ► silent member of that conversation but

00:10:08 ◼   ► yeah I don't really think of it as a

00:10:10 ◼   ► thing that would be funny so it would be

00:10:12 ◼   ► very strange to sit in a room full of

00:10:15 ◼   ► people and here when that laughs like I

00:10:16 ◼   ► think i would be surprised every time

00:10:18 ◼   ► like every once in a while when my wife

00:10:20 ◼   ► listen to the show and she laughed at

00:10:22 ◼   ► something I'm always kind of surprise

00:10:23 ◼   ► and I think what was the thing that was

00:10:24 ◼   ► funny

00:10:25 ◼   ► mm but I'm also realizing that I think

00:10:27 ◼   ► you and I would have had a bit of a

00:10:29 ◼   ► logistic disagreement had been able to

00:10:32 ◼   ► attend that evening because i don't

00:10:35 ◼   ► think i could actually have sat through

00:10:37 ◼   ► listening to our own podcast in a room

00:10:40 ◼   ► full of people also listening to the

00:10:42 ◼   ► podcast i think i would have waited

00:10:44 ◼   ► upstairs in the pizza place

00:10:47 ◼   ► till the show is over and then go

00:10:49 ◼   ► downstairs and talk to everybody because

00:10:50 ◼   ► i think i would be too uncomfortable to

00:10:52 ◼   ► be sitting in a room like hey

00:10:54 ◼   ► everybody's listening to the thing that

00:10:56 ◼   ► I've made i think i would have to wait

00:10:57 ◼   ► somewhere else

00:10:58 ◼   ► don't be like you go ahead Brady i'll

00:11:00 ◼   ► come down later I mean I did offer to

00:11:02 ◼   ► leave when they started listening I did

00:11:04 ◼   ► say is this too weird for you guys to

00:11:06 ◼   ► have me here should i just go upstairs

00:11:07 ◼   ► for a bit and they're like no no I mean

00:11:11 ◼   ► I can understand that concern and like

00:11:13 ◼   ► it was in the back of my head too but it

00:11:14 ◼   ► didn't feel like that at the time they

00:11:15 ◼   ► had been looking and nodding and smiling

00:11:17 ◼   ► and there was a bit when you would say

00:11:19 ◼   ► something that would be typically great

00:11:20 ◼   ► they would just look at me and go huh

00:11:22 ◼   ► I feel for Brady and I smile back it was

00:11:24 ◼   ► almost like you were you know having a

00:11:25 ◼   ► little laugh behind your friends back

00:11:27 ◼   ► right everyone in the room rolling their

00:11:29 ◼   ► eyes at me perfect yeah yeah it was

00:11:30 ◼   ► enjoying things as well but it wasn't

00:11:33 ◼   ► too weird like that say I'm glad I did

00:11:35 ◼   ► it

00:11:35 ◼   ► so there you go Tim's if you are

00:11:37 ◼   ► arranging listening parties around the

00:11:40 ◼   ► world you never know when one of us

00:11:43 ◼   ► might show up well Brady it wouldn't be

00:11:49 ◼   ► hello internet without plane crash

00:11:52 ◼   ► corner I see that one of your 36 items

00:11:54 ◼   ► here is plane crash corner

00:11:56 ◼   ► well that's what the fans want is it

00:11:59 ◼   ► always so uncertain with the corner that

00:12:02 ◼   ► makes me the most uncomfortable the

00:12:04 ◼   ► corner actually like most likely to be

00:12:06 ◼   ► blindsided by something horrible that I

00:12:07 ◼   ► don't know about have always strings

00:12:10 ◼   ► doubt about whether or not the fans do

00:12:12 ◼   ► like playing Crash corner but here we

00:12:14 ◼   ► are our know anecdotally it's probably

00:12:18 ◼   ► the favor of over conus of course yes

00:12:24 ◼   ► plane crash corner

00:12:25 ◼   ► what is this i still think after all

00:12:27 ◼   ► this time you don't fully grasp plane

00:12:29 ◼   ► crash corner as well it's not like every

00:12:31 ◼   ► horrible crash that happens I talk about

00:12:33 ◼   ► who the thing I just wanted to note was

00:12:35 ◼   ► that back in the early early days of

00:12:38 ◼   ► hello internet we had the mh370 the

00:12:41 ◼   ► Malaysian Airlines plane that has

00:12:43 ◼   ► vanished and just flew out to say and no

00:12:45 ◼   ► one ever knew what happened and they're

00:12:46 ◼   ► all these searches for and back then I

00:12:48 ◼   ► was just so confident that and find

00:12:51 ◼   ► eventually they have always technology

00:12:53 ◼   ► and they're looking for out in the

00:12:55 ◼   ► Indian Ocean somewhere where they think

00:12:57 ◼   ► it went

00:12:57 ◼   ► who

00:12:58 ◼   ► and just as time went by I began to have

00:13:01 ◼   ► my doubts and now they've called the

00:13:04 ◼   ► search off the search is over and they

00:13:07 ◼   ► have a founder and I just never thought

00:13:09 ◼   ► that would happen a whole plane full of

00:13:11 ◼   ► people never to be found which I find

00:13:13 ◼   ► extraordinary I mean the oceans a big

00:13:16 ◼   ► place right

00:13:17 ◼   ► it must have disappeared in the ocean

00:13:19 ◼   ► yeah but technologies moved on the

00:13:21 ◼   ► Titanic went missing in deepwater who

00:13:24 ◼   ► and for a long time it wasn't fair but

00:13:26 ◼   ► then technology came along it was like

00:13:28 ◼   ► yeah we can find it now and I know you

00:13:30 ◼   ► knew roughly where the titanic sank

00:13:32 ◼   ► because they rescue people in stone but

00:13:34 ◼   ► i'm just amazed they can't find it and I

00:13:36 ◼   ► know how big the indian ocean is I'm

00:13:39 ◼   ► just amazed i couldn't find and there

00:13:40 ◼   ► was talk this minister from the

00:13:42 ◼   ► Malaysian government said they were

00:13:43 ◼   ► going to offer a reward to private

00:13:46 ◼   ► searches like if someone could find that

00:13:47 ◼   ► they get a reward and that quite excited

00:13:49 ◼   ► make cool yeah it's like treasure

00:13:50 ◼   ► hunting

00:13:51 ◼   ► I know I even wonder if those two

00:13:52 ◼   ► legends that went to South America and

00:13:54 ◼   ► they're on their way up the mountain

00:13:55 ◼   ► might say alright we're doing it but

00:13:58 ◼   ► then a couple days later it was another

00:13:59 ◼   ► story from someone more senior Malaysian

00:14:01 ◼   ► government saying that guy probably was

00:14:03 ◼   ► shooting his mouth off and they might

00:14:05 ◼   ► not be a reward

00:14:06 ◼   ► so I don't know if there's a reward or

00:14:07 ◼   ► not if there was a reward would you be

00:14:09 ◼   ► tempted to try and claim it seems like a

00:14:13 ◼   ► brady project i don't think i have the

00:14:15 ◼   ► technical capabilities i think taking a

00:14:17 ◼   ► piece of paper with pie printed on and

00:14:19 ◼   ► rolling out a runway as one thing

00:14:21 ◼   ► yeah searching for a missing plane in

00:14:22 ◼   ► the indian ocean that's another kettle

00:14:24 ◼   ► of fish

00:14:25 ◼   ► I don't know don't you want to progress

00:14:26 ◼   ► in the difficulty of your projects

00:14:28 ◼   ► you're a man who's been on Everest

00:14:30 ◼   ► things like making a missing plane in

00:14:33 ◼   ► the Indian Ocean

00:14:34 ◼   ► how cool would that be and listen I

00:14:36 ◼   ► think you also have quite an audience

00:14:38 ◼   ► here i think if you really wanted to you

00:14:40 ◼   ► could draw on the right people to help

00:14:42 ◼   ► make this happen

00:14:43 ◼   ► yeah just say i'm reading are you

00:14:45 ◼   ► talking about Kickstarter or something

00:14:46 ◼   ► patreon is ready guys that he's doing

00:14:48 ◼   ► yet to say I don't know I'm just the

00:14:50 ◼   ► ideas guy here right you're the executor

00:14:51 ◼   ► right you make things happen you get

00:14:53 ◼   ► vinyl record shipped across the world

00:14:55 ◼   ► and I'm sure that you can find mh370 I

00:14:59 ◼   ► think you could do it would make a great

00:15:00 ◼   ► YouTube video they would make quite a

00:15:02 ◼   ► video to get free berated very quickly

00:15:05 ◼   ► that's the main reason i don't want to

00:15:07 ◼   ► do it because I know just get free bird

00:15:08 ◼   ► straight away anyway you know what

00:15:10 ◼   ► fair enough you know what i was going to

00:15:11 ◼   ► sort of clarify correctly when you refer

00:15:13 ◼   ► to me as the man that's been on Everest

00:15:15 ◼   ► but I quite like you saying that so I'm

00:15:17 ◼   ► just gonna let that one slide

00:15:18 ◼   ► wait a second you tell me that's not

00:15:20 ◼   ► true well I wouldn't say I had been on

00:15:23 ◼   ► Everest here's the thing i specifically

00:15:25 ◼   ► phrase that not like you've climbed

00:15:27 ◼   ► Everest because I don't think that's

00:15:29 ◼   ► entirely true which have been on at base

00:15:31 ◼   ► camp right that counts

00:15:32 ◼   ► I don't know where you would technically

00:15:34 ◼   ► say being on Everest start so I'm not

00:15:36 ◼   ► sure base camp would count but I think

00:15:39 ◼   ► you've got to get through the cumbias

00:15:40 ◼   ► fall before you can say you're on

00:15:42 ◼   ► Everest homebush mumu I think base camp

00:15:45 ◼   ► that counts is how concerned eighty

00:15:48 ◼   ► percent of the danger of getting to

00:15:50 ◼   ► everest is getting on the plane that

00:15:51 ◼   ► gets you there so if you're on the other

00:15:52 ◼   ► end of that plane you make it to base

00:15:54 ◼   ► camp that counters on Everest

00:15:56 ◼   ► well like I say I could correct you on

00:15:58 ◼   ► this stuff but you're just making me

00:15:59 ◼   ► sound awesome so why would I will let

00:16:02 ◼   ► that stand now grey we talk about not

00:16:05 ◼   ► really thinking about who's listening to

00:16:06 ◼   ► the podcast and one thing I often forget

00:16:08 ◼   ► is that one person who uses the podcast

00:16:12 ◼   ► is my sister for helping my Neffe go to

00:16:17 ◼   ► sleep it's like his thing like he goes

00:16:19 ◼   ► to bed and sometimes instead of a

00:16:20 ◼   ► bedtime story he can have like 20

00:16:23 ◼   ► minutes of Uncle Brady are that's the

00:16:25 ◼   ► sweet sounds wait but she's just being

00:16:28 ◼   ► lazy and she playing at hello internet

00:16:30 ◼   ► so he listens to hello internet when I

00:16:32 ◼   ► think that's why he said just float love

00:16:36 ◼   ► i love the idea that not only are we

00:16:38 ◼   ► putting grown adults to sleep with the

00:16:39 ◼   ► podcast at the house that children being

00:16:41 ◼   ► put to sleep well it sounds to me like

00:16:43 ◼   ► maybe we're putting my sister to sleep

00:16:45 ◼   ► but not my nephew because what happened

00:16:47 ◼   ► in our pre christmas episode was when we

00:16:51 ◼   ► started talking about elf on the shelf

00:16:53 ◼   ► and I mentioned how it was this toy like

00:16:58 ◼   ► my sister had sewn down wasn't listening

00:17:00 ◼   ► and my little nephew who has an elf on

00:17:02 ◼   ► the show flight was not so great he

00:17:04 ◼   ► talking about

00:17:05 ◼   ► and can I just say for the record and to

00:17:08 ◼   ► my little nephew who been listening

00:17:09 ◼   ► right now your elf on the shelf is

00:17:12 ◼   ► definitely not a toy

00:17:14 ◼   ► Nestle is a real elf and you be a good

00:17:17 ◼   ► boy

00:17:18 ◼   ► because Nestle's what

00:17:19 ◼   ► and what uncle Brady said about toys was

00:17:22 ◼   ► confusing and not right but Nestle is a

00:17:25 ◼   ► real elf and you be a good boy and i

00:17:27 ◼   ► look forward to seeing you again soon

00:17:29 ◼   ► leave your uncle breaking up

00:17:30 ◼   ► there's no reason to doubt uncle Brady

00:17:33 ◼   ► exactly and if it also did get me

00:17:35 ◼   ► thinking about the Easter Bunny and I

00:17:37 ◼   ► just want to ask you a quick question

00:17:38 ◼   ► gray ok shut your eyes

00:17:41 ◼   ► ok what does the easter bunny look like

00:17:43 ◼   ► a big in pink

00:17:46 ◼   ► okay because that's what i wanted to

00:17:48 ◼   ► find out is the Easter Bunny to you like

00:17:51 ◼   ► a rabbit or is the Easter Bunny to you

00:17:53 ◼   ► like a man in a rabbit so it's totally a

00:17:55 ◼   ► man in a rabbit suit that's what the

00:17:57 ◼   ► Easter Bunny is like to make the Easter

00:17:59 ◼   ► Bunny is like a six-foot man and as

00:18:02 ◼   ► ill-fitting so carrying a basket full of

00:18:04 ◼   ► chocolate eggs

00:18:06 ◼   ► yeah he might be white for me I don't

00:18:08 ◼   ► know if he's pink he's definitely

00:18:10 ◼   ► bipedal for a step that's true yeah let

00:18:12 ◼   ► me send you a picture of the easter

00:18:13 ◼   ► bunny i'm waiting I've still got that

00:18:15 ◼   ► gorgeous picture of you looking at me

00:18:17 ◼   ► with your present to us at all

00:18:21 ◼   ► that's the Easter buying yeah you've got

00:18:26 ◼   ► mean for everything everything

00:18:28 ◼   ► look all I did was I went into google i

00:18:31 ◼   ► typed in Easter Bunny and that's what

00:18:34 ◼   ► came up

00:18:34 ◼   ► that was the first of several terrifying

00:18:38 ◼   ► Easter Bunny photos right here's another

00:18:41 ◼   ► one you're googling scary easter bunny

00:18:43 ◼   ► you're not googling just a taster body

00:18:45 ◼   ► no I am NOT a typed in easter bunny this

00:18:49 ◼   ► is what i found the Easter Bunny is a

00:18:51 ◼   ► friendly man in a pink so not the ones

00:18:53 ◼   ► that great has just been placed together

00:18:54 ◼   ► i'm sending Brady nightmare versions of

00:18:57 ◼   ► the Easter Bunny the kind of Easter

00:18:59 ◼   ► Bunny that you would have in a horror

00:19:00 ◼   ► movie but now in my head it's a smiling

00:19:03 ◼   ► happy bunny that is human sized not

00:19:07 ◼   ► smiling the bunny face can't smile it

00:19:09 ◼   ► looks friendly it's like in a cartoon

00:19:10 ◼   ► you know rabbits in a cartoon can smile

00:19:13 ◼   ► it doesn't have to be accurately rabbit

00:19:14 ◼   ► face it's like cartoony rapid face know

00:19:16 ◼   ► the thing that I'm confused about here

00:19:17 ◼   ► is there anybody who thinks that the

00:19:19 ◼   ► Easter Bunny is that like a rabbit

00:19:21 ◼   ► yeah i think there are some people who

00:19:22 ◼   ► grow up with the Easter Bunny mythology

00:19:26 ◼   ► being a a small rabbit on all fours but

00:19:29 ◼   ► with magic powers obviously to deliver

00:19:31 ◼   ► chocolate eggs

00:19:32 ◼   ► not standing out person but is this

00:19:34 ◼   ► version of the Easter Bunny mean is he

00:19:36 ◼   ► laying the eggs like the cadbury bunny

00:19:38 ◼   ► rabbit start leg but they don't deliver

00:19:40 ◼   ► magic chocolate eggs either I'm just I

00:19:42 ◼   ► don't understand I don't know how the

00:19:44 ◼   ► all four small rabbit actually delivers

00:19:47 ◼   ► the eggs if you grew up believing the

00:19:49 ◼   ► easter bunny was an actual rabbit tell

00:19:52 ◼   ► us and tell us how it negotiated the

00:19:55 ◼   ► mechanics of delivering the eggs because

00:19:56 ◼   ► we'd like to know because in my head the

00:19:58 ◼   ► man-sized Easter Bunny has a magic

00:20:00 ◼   ► basket from which you can draw an

00:20:02 ◼   ► infinite number of eggs yeah like Santa

00:20:04 ◼   ► Claus and his magic sack it's the same

00:20:07 ◼   ► idea

00:20:07 ◼   ► yeah but an actual magic Easter Bunny

00:20:10 ◼   ► laying eggs for all the children on

00:20:12 ◼   ► Easter this horrible era sounds like

00:20:14 ◼   ► torment but like a man in a suit with a

00:20:16 ◼   ► magic basket that has infinite eggs and

00:20:18 ◼   ► you're cool with that yeah that's fine

00:20:20 ◼   ► that's a okay great i just want to check

00:20:22 ◼   ► i just wanted to that question for you

00:20:25 ◼   ► then the Tooth Fairy human-sized very

00:20:28 ◼   ► size small

00:20:29 ◼   ► hmm like Audrey sighs no okay maybe

00:20:32 ◼   ► smaller even site via i don't know i

00:20:36 ◼   ► don't really have a good idea of the

00:20:37 ◼   ► Tooth Fairy in my mind now I think the

00:20:40 ◼   ► Tooth Fairy was less of a ever real

00:20:43 ◼   ► fixture in my childhood and more of a

00:20:46 ◼   ► transparent money delivery mechanism

00:20:49 ◼   ► I mean I believed but i think the

00:20:51 ◼   ► problem is you see less depictions of

00:20:53 ◼   ► the tooth fairy

00:20:54 ◼   ► mm I mean you see the most depictions of

00:20:56 ◼   ► Santa and that's why we all agree on

00:20:58 ◼   ► what he looks like

00:20:59 ◼   ► Easter Bunny there does seem to be a bit

00:21:02 ◼   ► of a range and that's why we can discuss

00:21:04 ◼   ► it but you hardly ever see depictions of

00:21:06 ◼   ► the tooth fairy

00:21:07 ◼   ► because it's not like this you know

00:21:08 ◼   ► Tooth Fairy cards and tooth fairy

00:21:10 ◼   ► branding because we all lose their teeth

00:21:12 ◼   ► at different times so we don't really

00:21:14 ◼   ► know what the Tooth Fairy looks like

00:21:15 ◼   ► it's a great unknown great unknown

00:21:17 ◼   ► hmm maybe there'll be some fanart of two

00:21:19 ◼   ► theories LOL out tooth fairy I'm sure

00:21:21 ◼   ► there will be this episode of Hello

00:24:38 ◼   ► I just say watching a second time and I

00:24:40 ◼   ► hope it came across that i did like the

00:24:42 ◼   ► film because i gave it like a partial

00:24:44 ◼   ► thumbs-up who people remember whereas i

00:24:47 ◼   ► would say you were quite negative about

00:24:49 ◼   ► it

00:24:49 ◼   ► watching a second time my thumb has

00:24:52 ◼   ► moved a little bit

00:24:54 ◼   ► no and it has moved more towards twelve

00:24:57 ◼   ► o'clock the upright position and if we

00:25:00 ◼   ► were doing that episode again kid I

00:25:02 ◼   ► would call you out on more things that

00:25:04 ◼   ► you said and I think you were overly

00:25:07 ◼   ► harsh I still agree with a lot of things

00:25:09 ◼   ► he said but I think you were overly

00:25:11 ◼   ► harsh and that film was even better than

00:25:14 ◼   ► I said it was the first time around

00:25:16 ◼   ► still not like you know an old-time

00:25:17 ◼   ► amazing film but for people who said we

00:25:21 ◼   ► gave a bit of a hard time I kind of a

00:25:24 ◼   ► great i think we could have been a bit

00:25:26 ◼   ► more positive about it that was my

00:25:28 ◼   ► second viewing opinion when we walked

00:25:30 ◼   ► out

00:25:31 ◼   ► okay so on the 180 degree scale that is

00:25:34 ◼   ► your thumbs up and thumbs down what is

00:25:36 ◼   ► the final resting place i would say 1048

00:25:40 ◼   ► which is even more fine-tuned and stars

00:25:43 ◼   ► like it's like pointlessly precise got

00:25:48 ◼   ► four significant digits here to do like

00:25:51 ◼   ► Star Wars 1040a and 38 seconds

00:25:56 ◼   ► oh thank you that's crazy-making so

00:25:59 ◼   ► anyway I just wanted to put that out

00:26:00 ◼   ► there

00:26:00 ◼   ► I think that's very interesting very

00:26:02 ◼   ► interesting you liked more the second

00:26:03 ◼   ► time around the first time yet and

00:26:05 ◼   ► things that you criticized for I think

00:26:08 ◼   ► if it didn't do you would have

00:26:10 ◼   ► criticized it for like it could

00:26:12 ◼   ► win on some things like things that you

00:26:15 ◼   ► said where things were getting too

00:26:16 ◼   ► complex and it was unnecessary detail if

00:26:18 ◼   ► that stuff had been left out would have

00:26:20 ◼   ► been plot house i'll give one example if

00:26:23 ◼   ► you want when they go to desert planet

00:26:26 ◼   ► and they've got to go and find a shake

00:26:29 ◼   ► of error he says I know a guy who can

00:26:32 ◼   ► tell me where he is blue and you thought

00:26:35 ◼   ► our God you know a guy who knows a guy

00:26:37 ◼   ► dove you know we don't need to know a

00:26:38 ◼   ► guy to know a guy but if he hadn't and

00:26:40 ◼   ► they just landed on the planet and going

00:26:42 ◼   ► to shake the various house we would have

00:26:44 ◼   ► all been saying oh sure you're very this

00:26:46 ◼   ► big hidden guy but anyone can just turn

00:26:48 ◼   ► up on the planet and walk straight to

00:26:49 ◼   ► his front door that's ridiculous that's

00:26:51 ◼   ► completely implausible so like little

00:26:53 ◼   ► things like that that seem like

00:26:55 ◼   ► unnecessary complications i think you

00:26:57 ◼   ► have got to drop a little bit of Indian

00:26:59 ◼   ► otherwise we'd be complaining the other

00:27:01 ◼   ► way and I had a lot of attention to that

00:27:03 ◼   ► stuff and I didn't think it made things

00:27:05 ◼   ► overly complicated because i want to

00:27:07 ◼   ► just totally agree with you that the

00:27:10 ◼   ► movie was in a no-win situation with

00:27:12 ◼   ► that kind of stuff and yeah that if they

00:27:14 ◼   ► hadn't added in a bunch of those details

00:27:15 ◼   ► they would be potholes

00:27:16 ◼   ► I think it's the same thing like with

00:27:18 ◼   ► putting the labels for the places that

00:27:20 ◼   ► they're going to in the movie

00:27:22 ◼   ► yeah I as we discuss the time I think

00:27:24 ◼   ► they had to leaving those out would have

00:27:27 ◼   ► made things more complicated but i think

00:27:29 ◼   ► my problem is a bit more fundamental

00:27:30 ◼   ► that it's like the structure of the

00:27:32 ◼   ► movie has put you in this no-win

00:27:34 ◼   ► situation that's more how I feel about

00:27:37 ◼   ► it is like the whole thing was slightly

00:27:38 ◼   ► disorganized and kind of a mess but i'm

00:27:41 ◼   ► very interested to hear that you liked

00:27:42 ◼   ► it more the second time and I feel happy

00:27:45 ◼   ► for you that you liked more the second

00:27:47 ◼   ► time and I liked the first time as I

00:27:48 ◼   ► said I thought it was a good film even

00:27:51 ◼   ► not as good as some others and many

00:27:53 ◼   ► criticisms that were made by both uni I

00:27:56 ◼   ► standby but some of them i think i gave

00:27:59 ◼   ► you be over an easy ride on me because

00:28:00 ◼   ► I've seen it once and there's no point

00:28:02 ◼   ► bickering over everything but I do feel

00:28:04 ◼   ► like if we did that review again I'd

00:28:06 ◼   ► probably going to be harder against

00:28:08 ◼   ► interesting anyway we've done overview

00:28:10 ◼   ► you know we've played their game we know

00:28:13 ◼   ► those who can't replay the superbowl so

00:28:15 ◼   ► the review stance but you want to talk

00:28:18 ◼   ► about styles you've been mulling over

00:28:20 ◼   ► style as well you've been in the

00:28:21 ◼   ► mountains meditating the meaning of life

00:28:24 ◼   ► well this is an interesting thing

00:28:26 ◼   ► these two interesting things that i have

00:28:28 ◼   ► noticed one of which is the name for the

00:28:32 ◼   ► new Star Wars movie has been recently

00:28:35 ◼   ► announced yes what is the name braiding

00:28:37 ◼   ► it is the last Jedi what do you think of

00:28:39 ◼   ► that name disappointing is my first

00:28:42 ◼   ► impression like it's the first time I've

00:28:44 ◼   ► been asked to comment on and because i

00:28:46 ◼   ► don't have many Star Wars fans around me

00:28:48 ◼   ► in my day-to-day movements

00:28:49 ◼   ► it sounds like it should be the end of a

00:28:52 ◼   ► trilogy hmm it doesn't sound like the

00:28:54 ◼   ► middle it's okay it's not as bad as some

00:28:59 ◼   ► others maybe it's not even disappointing

00:29:01 ◼   ► it just is what it is

00:29:02 ◼   ► it just sounds a bit final mhm and it

00:29:04 ◼   ► seems weird to be using a name of such

00:29:06 ◼   ► finality on this series of films that

00:29:08 ◼   ► blatantly is now going to become endless

00:29:10 ◼   ► for the rest of our lives until we die

00:29:12 ◼   ► and beyond

00:29:13 ◼   ► I think and beyond there is quite fair

00:29:17 ◼   ► ok i am willing to bet that Disney will

00:29:20 ◼   ► be making Star Wars movies long after

00:29:23 ◼   ► you and I are dead just like to support

00:29:25 ◼   ► you in any way that things are going to

00:29:26 ◼   ► happen in star wars that you never know

00:29:28 ◼   ► about well this is the reason I brought

00:29:29 ◼   ► up as I saw some headlines about all the

00:29:31 ◼   ► title for the next star wars movie has

00:29:33 ◼   ► been released and the thing that I

00:29:35 ◼   ► noticed was not any particular thoughts

00:29:37 ◼   ► about the title but i noticed my own

00:29:40 ◼   ► internal emotional barometer towards

00:29:43 ◼   ► this news and I suddenly had a feeling

00:29:46 ◼   ► of kind of like dread at the rest of my

00:29:50 ◼   ► life they're always being news about the

00:29:52 ◼   ► next star wars that this is just going

00:29:54 ◼   ► to go on forever

00:29:55 ◼   ► yeah and the feeling that I had was it's

00:29:58 ◼   ► a bit like election cycles in the US

00:30:00 ◼   ► where it feels like you get like this

00:30:02 ◼   ► very brief break and then it's like

00:30:04 ◼   ► we've got a hundred days and we're gonna

00:30:06 ◼   ► start talking about the midterm

00:30:07 ◼   ► elections right and you know you have a

00:30:09 ◼   ► little bit of time never gonna start

00:30:11 ◼   ► talking about the next general and I

00:30:13 ◼   ► thought oh no is between christmas and

00:30:16 ◼   ► mid-january the only time for the rest

00:30:19 ◼   ► of our lives will be free of Star Wars

00:30:20 ◼   ► news i think that might be the case but

00:30:23 ◼   ► it's always going to be like mid to late

00:30:25 ◼   ► January we're going to start hyping up

00:30:26 ◼   ► the next movie

00:30:27 ◼   ► try being a football fan in England man

00:30:29 ◼   ► the offseason last 20 minutes

00:30:31 ◼   ► oh yeah I play the last game of the

00:30:34 ◼   ► season and you're like wow well that was

00:30:36 ◼   ► a rollercoaster ride and then the new

00:30:38 ◼   ► season like

00:30:39 ◼   ► seems to be starting minutes like it's

00:30:42 ◼   ► like crazy I guess this happens with

00:30:44 ◼   ► everything it's just like the rumors

00:30:46 ◼   ► about the next iphone start before the

00:30:49 ◼   ► current one is even out you know that

00:30:50 ◼   ► everything has these same cycles yeah

00:30:53 ◼   ► but I just had this feeling of suddenly

00:30:55 ◼   ► realizing this is going to occur forever

00:30:57 ◼   ► with Star Wars so what do you think if

00:30:58 ◼   ► the touch of the last Jedi then

00:31:00 ◼   ► aside from that feeling you had yeah i

00:31:03 ◼   ► just thought it was kind of a strange

00:31:05 ◼   ► title i agree with you with something

00:31:07 ◼   ► about it feels a little bit off but I

00:31:10 ◼   ► also recognize that I am much less

00:31:12 ◼   ► emotionally invested in the future of

00:31:15 ◼   ► Star Wars and I feel relieved at that

00:31:18 ◼   ► yeah

00:31:18 ◼   ► the other thing that I've just been

00:31:21 ◼   ► thinking about which I have found

00:31:23 ◼   ► interesting is when I guess two years

00:31:26 ◼   ► ago now you and I did the first Star

00:31:30 ◼   ► Wars Christmas special where we talked

00:31:31 ◼   ► about the force awakens and we both

00:31:33 ◼   ► liked it very much

00:31:34 ◼   ► mhm i have been really aware that i

00:31:38 ◼   ► liked that movie I saw a bunch of times

00:31:39 ◼   ► in the theater and then later in the

00:31:42 ◼   ► year i saw it was available for pre-sale

00:31:44 ◼   ► and itunes I was like boom sold

00:31:46 ◼   ► immediately like I never buy presale

00:31:47 ◼   ► stuff I always hate that but I'm not

00:31:49 ◼   ► buying it immediately right so I'll be

00:31:51 ◼   ► able to watch it it's interesting i have

00:31:53 ◼   ► no desire to watch again

00:31:54 ◼   ► yeah ok but so this is what happened

00:31:56 ◼   ► right it's like i pre-ordered it and I

00:31:58 ◼   ► have never touched it and I only just

00:32:01 ◼   ► realized this recently that it is never

00:32:04 ◼   ► crossed my mind to even watch that film

00:32:08 ◼   ► another time i feel like i have no draw

00:32:10 ◼   ► to watch that movie again like I'm very

00:32:13 ◼   ► interested to hear you say the same

00:32:15 ◼   ► thing why do you think that is because

00:32:17 ◼   ► you didn't imprint with like you

00:32:19 ◼   ► imprinted with the Star Wars films as a

00:32:21 ◼   ► kid

00:32:22 ◼   ► mnu imprint with fewer films and out hmm

00:32:25 ◼   ► so you liked it but you haven't liked

00:32:27 ◼   ► bonded with a attending level I think

00:32:30 ◼   ► this is again like the age-old question

00:32:31 ◼   ► of our star wars movies great movies or

00:32:34 ◼   ► did we imprint upon them as children

00:32:36 ◼   ► they're both it is a bit of both but

00:32:39 ◼   ► I've just been really aware of that

00:32:40 ◼   ► sensation and I feel no no need to

00:32:43 ◼   ► rewatch the force awakens and also being

00:32:49 ◼   ► much more aware in retrospect

00:32:52 ◼   ► that the force awakens is this

00:32:54 ◼   ► phenomenon in Hollywood movie making

00:32:57 ◼   ► called the soft reboot

00:32:58 ◼   ► hmm i feel like i wasn't aware of this

00:33:01 ◼   ► so much when watching the movie and i

00:33:03 ◼   ► think i would be more painfully aware of

00:33:05 ◼   ► of it on a rewatch that there are a

00:33:08 ◼   ► whole bunch of movies that are not just

00:33:11 ◼   ► being remade by Hollywood but are being

00:33:15 ◼   ► done as these like kind of Kwazii

00:33:19 ◼   ► sequels but that also start the whole

00:33:22 ◼   ► story over again I can't totally agree

00:33:25 ◼   ► with that about force awakens yeah I

00:33:27 ◼   ► don't think it's a perfect soft reboot

00:33:28 ◼   ► it feels like a soft soft reboot know

00:33:32 ◼   ► it's like a shot in the arm for a glass

00:33:35 ◼   ► of water in the face to the series like

00:33:36 ◼   ► wake up wake up we've got to get our act

00:33:38 ◼   ► together

00:33:39 ◼   ► what are you doing or it's like a big

00:33:41 ◼   ► halftime talk about the coach saying

00:33:43 ◼   ► you've just played terribly come on

00:33:45 ◼   ► let's get out there and have a great

00:33:46 ◼   ► second half but it's not a reboot

00:33:49 ◼   ► because like the story is a continuation

00:33:51 ◼   ► and like they're constantly referring to

00:33:53 ◼   ► what happened before and it's got the

00:33:55 ◼   ► same people in a same characters are in

00:33:57 ◼   ► a you know Skywalker still and everyone

00:34:00 ◼   ► knows what he did before the legend of

00:34:01 ◼   ► him

00:34:02 ◼   ► I know what you're saying you're not

00:34:04 ◼   ► being crazy but if you're going to call

00:34:06 ◼   ► that a rainbow it's the softest of

00:34:08 ◼   ► softest versions of it i think it is

00:34:10 ◼   ► it's very soft soft reboot out because

00:34:13 ◼   ► even though there are new characters

00:34:15 ◼   ► they're all explained in New and Luke is

00:34:20 ◼   ► just in the ob one role where all of the

00:34:22 ◼   ► characters are the same thing again we

00:34:25 ◼   ► have new Vader there's new young Luke we

00:34:28 ◼   ► have new Han Solo it does feel very much

00:34:31 ◼   ► like a soft reboot

00:34:34 ◼   ► I just wonder if that will also not age

00:34:36 ◼   ► the movie well going forward in the

00:34:38 ◼   ► future but it's just a thing that I'm

00:34:40 ◼   ► aware of and i found interesting that I

00:34:42 ◼   ► was wrong that future me would really be

00:34:45 ◼   ► interested in watching this movie again

00:34:46 ◼   ► and it turns out that is not the case

00:34:48 ◼   ► yeah I could've told you that I could

00:34:50 ◼   ► have saved a few bucks there

00:34:51 ◼   ► well when i go to pre-order road 1 i'll

00:34:55 ◼   ► ask

00:34:58 ◼   ► if you put Road one and force awakens in

00:35:00 ◼   ► front of me right now and said you have

00:35:02 ◼   ► to watch one of those 2i choose red one

00:35:04 ◼   ► at the moment that's astounding to me I

00:35:05 ◼   ► can't believe that and I've seen that

00:35:07 ◼   ► more recently I've seen it twice since i

00:35:09 ◼   ► saw force awakens road one was more

00:35:12 ◼   ► grown-up road when was an adults movie

00:35:15 ◼   ► and I'm a grown-up now

00:35:18 ◼   ► oh I just don't think force awakens is

00:35:20 ◼   ► probably better you know I think if you

00:35:23 ◼   ► were like weighing and measuring

00:35:24 ◼   ► everything and you had to do a big

00:35:26 ◼   ► analysis I would still say force awakens

00:35:28 ◼   ► is better than rogue one or rogue one

00:35:31 ◼   ► felt more like my movie at my time of

00:35:33 ◼   ► life and my interests and it's got a lot

00:35:35 ◼   ► more weaknesses than force awakens but

00:35:38 ◼   ► it just felt like it was talking on my

00:35:40 ◼   ► level who a bit more hard as nails

00:35:42 ◼   ► moving for a hard-as-nails man maybe

00:35:44 ◼   ► that's it

00:35:45 ◼   ► maybe that's it i don't know maybe five

00:35:48 ◼   ► years when we can really put them

00:35:49 ◼   ► side-by-side and by then there will be

00:35:51 ◼   ► another five-star was maybe it's what we

00:35:56 ◼   ► have here a breeze papercut you asked

00:35:58 ◼   ► for it

00:35:58 ◼   ► did I had it for it I'm not sure I quite

00:36:01 ◼   ► as for it i have many paper cuts you

00:36:04 ◼   ► know I always have many paper cuts and i

00:36:06 ◼   ► have one it doesn't make me angry so I

00:36:10 ◼   ► don't want the people who i'm about to

00:36:11 ◼   ► criticize to feel like I'm angry at them

00:36:14 ◼   ► but it does kind of get my goat little

00:36:17 ◼   ► bit em so I did something a couple of

00:36:20 ◼   ► weeks ago been playing around with my

00:36:21 ◼   ► email list and one of the things i have

00:36:25 ◼   ► decided to do is occasionally send like

00:36:28 ◼   ► treats to people on my email list to

00:36:29 ◼   ► like thank them for putting up with my

00:36:31 ◼   ► emails

00:36:32 ◼   ► haha you're sending them emails banking

00:36:34 ◼   ► them to for putting up with your email

00:36:36 ◼   ► ok got it right well now wasn't close it

00:36:39 ◼   ► was a bit more subtle than that but

00:36:40 ◼   ► feels like why I'm not subscribe to your

00:36:42 ◼   ► email list

00:36:43 ◼   ► yeah thank you go sign up to Brady's

00:36:46 ◼   ► email list everybody

00:36:47 ◼   ► yeah right yeah you've sold so well now

00:36:49 ◼   ► so what I did was and I didn't just send

00:36:52 ◼   ► an email just for this purpose it was

00:36:53 ◼   ► just a PS on the end of a normal email

00:36:55 ◼   ► little i said if you send me your

00:36:58 ◼   ► address i put everyone who sends me

00:37:00 ◼   ► their address in like a lottery and a

00:37:03 ◼   ► hundred of them i sent postcards that

00:37:04 ◼   ► personal postcards and our signs and I

00:37:06 ◼   ► got nice stamps made for them it was all

00:37:07 ◼   ► a bit of fun was like like

00:37:09 ◼   ► look like a reward but randomly chosen

00:37:11 ◼   ► who nice thing to do and I get all these

00:37:14 ◼   ► addresses and then I used a random

00:37:17 ◼   ► number generator to choose a hundred of

00:37:19 ◼   ► them and these are the addresses for

00:37:21 ◼   ► people who i was writing postcards to

00:37:23 ◼   ► Lou and because people were sending

00:37:26 ◼   ► their address to me an email and not

00:37:27 ◼   ► using some kind of form or proform or

00:37:29 ◼   ► commerce site they just had to write

00:37:31 ◼   ► their address and how they choose to

00:37:33 ◼   ► write a fair enough

00:37:34 ◼   ► and this is when I realized something

00:37:35 ◼   ► everybody in the world when they're

00:37:38 ◼   ► writing their address to may imagine

00:37:41 ◼   ► most of them now and probably in england

00:37:43 ◼   ► right there address and include their

00:37:45 ◼   ► country except Americans I reckon by

00:37:52 ◼   ► ratio of 602 three Americans right there

00:37:59 ◼   ► address and never put united states USA

00:38:01 ◼   ► at the end of it I think they just

00:38:03 ◼   ► assume it's a given that you're from

00:38:05 ◼   ► America so when I was like pasting and

00:38:07 ◼   ► making all these forms to send because

00:38:09 ◼   ► it was mostly American so I was sending

00:38:10 ◼   ► these things to always had to write

00:38:12 ◼   ► united states USA and that sort of thing

00:38:14 ◼   ► because Americans never write their

00:38:16 ◼   ► country everyone else does no matter

00:38:18 ◼   ► where you from our Sweden Italy all over

00:38:21 ◼   ► the world Israel Australia even most of

00:38:23 ◼   ► the UK people did and they know that i'm

00:38:25 ◼   ► in the UK Americans never write their

00:38:28 ◼   ► country and their address and i think

00:38:31 ◼   ► it's like you know tonight maybe it's a

00:38:33 ◼   ► little bit arrogant to do i say i think

00:38:35 ◼   ► the two-letter state abbreviation is all

00:38:38 ◼   ► you need

00:38:39 ◼   ► yeah obviously that's what they think

00:38:41 ◼   ► yeah you see mo and address and

00:38:44 ◼   ► obviously you know where that is

00:38:46 ◼   ► yeah you know where that's going America

00:38:48 ◼   ► that's where it's going

00:38:49 ◼   ► America and tell me where I you should

00:38:52 ◼   ► know where i am and i began to frustrate

00:38:55 ◼   ► me BR another American not putting their

00:38:58 ◼   ► country on their address surprise price

00:39:00 ◼   ► so many of these amero centric

00:39:03 ◼   ► complaints there obviously just a side

00:39:06 ◼   ► effect of for most Americans for

00:39:09 ◼   ► ninety-nine percent of everything they

00:39:11 ◼   ► ever do

00:39:11 ◼   ► it's all economically within the borders

00:39:14 ◼   ► of the united states like how many times

00:39:16 ◼   ► is an American ever have to send a

00:39:17 ◼   ► letter anywhere else in the world

00:39:19 ◼   ► almost never mm like unless you're

00:39:21 ◼   ► sending it to Santa Claus you know you

00:39:23 ◼   ► don't have to

00:39:23 ◼   ► send it out of the country and even then

00:39:25 ◼   ► you know some Alaskans will try to tell

00:39:27 ◼   ► you that you know you should be setting

00:39:28 ◼   ► up to Alaska

00:39:29 ◼   ► what do you mean the North poznan

00:39:31 ◼   ► America I can't remember off the top of

00:39:33 ◼   ► my head like the reasoning for why

00:39:34 ◼   ► centers in Alaska it seems a bit dubious

00:39:36 ◼   ► right but there's some reason why I mean

00:39:39 ◼   ► you know I understand that that's a

00:39:40 ◼   ► papercut of yours but i think this is

00:39:41 ◼   ► what's going to happen when you have

00:39:43 ◼   ► some gigantic economic bloc that

00:39:46 ◼   ► supplies for itself all of the needs

00:39:49 ◼   ► that had these people like a hello

00:39:51 ◼   ► Internet listeners most of them i don't

00:39:53 ◼   ► know maybe they're not maybe lots of

00:39:55 ◼   ► them were subscribe for videos and don't

00:39:58 ◼   ► know that I'm British

00:40:00 ◼   ► well Australian in Britain they're all

00:40:02 ◼   ► objectivity fan I don't know what's

00:40:03 ◼   ► going on everything it should matter

00:40:05 ◼   ► I think you should just put your country

00:40:07 ◼   ► they're like unless you know for a fact

00:40:09 ◼   ► that the persons in the same country as

00:40:11 ◼   ► you the thing is i am thinking back to

00:40:14 ◼   ► when I was a little boy in school and

00:40:17 ◼   ► i'm pretty sure it never even came up

00:40:19 ◼   ► about how to address international

00:40:21 ◼   ► letters like I remember doing the how do

00:40:23 ◼   ► you write a letter to somebody in

00:40:26 ◼   ► Arkansas lesson but the there was never

00:40:29 ◼   ► any reason to put United States on the

00:40:30 ◼   ► bottom i'm pretty sure I never came

00:40:33 ◼   ► across the notion of putting the country

00:40:35 ◼   ► name underneath until I was in the UK

00:40:38 ◼   ► but we live in the world of a bay now

00:40:40 ◼   ► and we're pretty globalized out well

00:40:42 ◼   ► obviously we're not obviously we're not

00:40:44 ◼   ► that globalize because people don't do

00:40:45 ◼   ► it I'm a little surprised but not that

00:40:48 ◼   ► surprised

00:40:49 ◼   ► mm you should know where America is a

00:40:51 ◼   ► couple of times i was thinking where is

00:40:53 ◼   ► this slide is this in America it must be

00:40:55 ◼   ► because it wasn't that would have

00:40:56 ◼   ► written the country with the side of the

00:40:58 ◼   ► United States so great

00:41:02 ◼   ► there's a quiz show in the UK which i'm

00:41:04 ◼   ► sure you've never watched called

00:41:06 ◼   ► mastermind you have you heard of this

00:41:09 ◼   ► I don't think zone where I think they're

00:41:11 ◼   ► usually four contestants students and

00:41:13 ◼   ► they each take a turn sitting in like

00:41:15 ◼   ► the hots eight and under the spotlight

00:41:17 ◼   ► and there are two rounds

00:41:19 ◼   ► they're asked a series of questions on a

00:41:21 ◼   ► specialist subject of their choosing

00:41:24 ◼   ► oh and then they're asked a bunch of

00:41:25 ◼   ► questions or general knowledge and you

00:41:27 ◼   ► two scores are added together and

00:41:29 ◼   ► whoever does the best wins and you'll

00:41:32 ◼   ► see someone ok here's John Smith from

00:41:34 ◼   ► somerset and his specialist

00:41:36 ◼   ► subject is fighter planes of world war

00:41:39 ◼   ► two and the quiz makers will have come

00:41:41 ◼   ► up with a whole bunch of questions on

00:41:43 ◼   ► this special subject and usually you

00:41:45 ◼   ► you're just kind of flabbergasted and

00:41:46 ◼   ► you might get one or two if you're lucky

00:41:48 ◼   ► who and it's kind of weird that people

00:41:49 ◼   ► can know so much about a subject and

00:41:52 ◼   ► then that the quizmaster will say after

00:41:53 ◼   ► so tell us why you're into world war two

00:41:55 ◼   ► planes or whatever and I have a little

00:41:56 ◼   ► chat and then I'll come back later and

00:41:58 ◼   ► do their general knowledge section but

00:42:00 ◼   ► it's always a really good fun thing to

00:42:02 ◼   ► think to yourself when you're watching

00:42:04 ◼   ► master mind if I was on mastermind what

00:42:07 ◼   ► would my special subject bay what

00:42:09 ◼   ► something I know a lot about and I'd be

00:42:12 ◼   ► really happy to be quizzed about

00:42:13 ◼   ► in-depth black at a deep level now I

00:42:17 ◼   ► always thought that my special subject

00:42:19 ◼   ► would be the Apollo moon landing

00:42:21 ◼   ► missions

00:42:22 ◼   ► oh yes of course and anyway

00:42:25 ◼   ► amazingly a couple of years ago I was

00:42:27 ◼   ► watching mastermind and some guy came on

00:42:29 ◼   ► and he chose that sa special subject so

00:42:33 ◼   ► this was like my moment to put myself to

00:42:35 ◼   ► the test it was no longer hypothetical

00:42:37 ◼   ► for me I could do it and see how good I

00:42:39 ◼   ► was

00:42:40 ◼   ► and I'm not ashamed to say I did pretty

00:42:45 ◼   ► well I think maybe I got one wrong out

00:42:48 ◼   ► of like about 20-25 questions

00:42:50 ◼   ► oh so I was like yet I know my stuff i

00:42:53 ◼   ► know my stuff I felt pretty good so I

00:42:55 ◼   ► always thought that would be my ultimate

00:42:57 ◼   ► subject I was watching mastermind the

00:42:59 ◼   ► other day and admittedly it was a

00:43:01 ◼   ► celebrity version where the questions

00:43:03 ◼   ► are a little bit easier when they do

00:43:04 ◼   ► celebrity mastermind anyway this cricket

00:43:07 ◼   ► player came on and he chose as his

00:43:09 ◼   ► specialist subject the original three

00:43:12 ◼   ► star wars movies

00:43:14 ◼   ► hm and they asked him all these

00:43:16 ◼   ► questions and i know i think that is my

00:43:20 ◼   ► specialist mastermind subject because

00:43:22 ◼   ► the first four words of the question

00:43:24 ◼   ► would come out and i would give this

00:43:25 ◼   ► really obscure answer and my wife who

00:43:28 ◼   ► was sitting in the room at the time

00:43:28 ◼   ► looked at me half impressed and in or

00:43:31 ◼   ► and half ashamed of what nerd husband

00:43:34 ◼   ► exactly have horrified that you know all

00:43:37 ◼   ► of this stuff

00:43:37 ◼   ► yeah we all know that feeling but I tell

00:43:39 ◼   ► you what so I know if I was a mastermind

00:43:41 ◼   ► they would be my two options because

00:43:42 ◼   ► they seem to be two things I know quite

00:43:44 ◼   ► a lot about not cricket cricket would be

00:43:46 ◼   ► one of my guesses for you

00:43:47 ◼   ► cricket maybe but cricket can be quite

00:43:49 ◼   ► broad

00:43:50 ◼   ► nobody the broader subject are the

00:43:52 ◼   ► easier the questions funnily enough but

00:43:54 ◼   ► how specific could you get could you be

00:43:55 ◼   ► like my specialist subject is jeff john

00:43:58 ◼   ► could you do well I think the more

00:43:59 ◼   ► specialized you get the more they throw

00:44:03 ◼   ► it incredibly hard questions at you

00:44:04 ◼   ► that's my experience of watching

00:44:06 ◼   ► hmm is that the more you zoom down the

00:44:08 ◼   ► more obscure they get on you should be

00:44:10 ◼   ► like my specialist subject is general

00:44:13 ◼   ► knowledge

00:44:13 ◼   ► well yeah but it did get me and I'm

00:44:16 ◼   ► getting to my point here after it's not

00:44:18 ◼   ► just an excuse to tell you how much I

00:44:19 ◼   ► know about moon landings star wars are

00:44:21 ◼   ► we sure they go well we can stop me

00:44:23 ◼   ► everyone but the thing I wanted to know

00:44:25 ◼   ► was if cgpgrey was on mastermind what

00:44:29 ◼   ► would his specialist subject bay if you

00:44:31 ◼   ► had to go on this quiz show and be

00:44:33 ◼   ► quizzed in front of a national audience

00:44:34 ◼   ► in-depth what's the subject you would

00:44:38 ◼   ► choose one that you think when the

00:44:40 ◼   ► researchers pulled their questions

00:44:41 ◼   ► together you'd hold your own I gotta go

00:44:44 ◼   ► with current events and pop-culture I

00:44:46 ◼   ► would be my special subjects that sports

00:44:50 ◼   ► ball between the 1980 and 2000 will

00:44:53 ◼   ► crush that I would absolutely crushed

00:44:54 ◼   ► that besides that have been this is

00:44:56 ◼   ► given

00:44:57 ◼   ► I've got a theory i put 12 that I

00:44:59 ◼   ► thought you'd say okay you guess first

00:45:00 ◼   ► year and we'll talk about that

00:45:02 ◼   ► my guess is that you're gonna choose

00:45:03 ◼   ► lord of the rings that is not an

00:45:09 ◼   ► unreasonable gasps yeah but I think it'd

00:45:11 ◼   ► be pretty terrible at that ok for anyone

00:45:14 ◼   ► who was really pulling out a lord of the

00:45:17 ◼   ► rings quiz I don't go crazy hard but you

00:45:21 ◼   ► have a lot of the ring is an unusually

00:45:22 ◼   ► deep well to pull from wrap that has a

00:45:26 ◼   ► large number of names and i am really

00:45:29 ◼   ► bad with names

00:45:31 ◼   ► yeah yeah especially those names are

00:45:32 ◼   ► also similar to each other

00:45:34 ◼   ► exactly yeah that's not a bad guess from

00:45:36 ◼   ► your perspective but ok here's the thing

00:45:39 ◼   ► i always think that it is important to

00:45:42 ◼   ► understand and know yourself and one of

00:45:47 ◼   ► the lessons that I learned about myself

00:45:49 ◼   ► a long time ago is that i am not a

00:45:54 ◼   ► specialist in anything I kind of want to

00:45:57 ◼   ► be the person who knows a ton about the

00:46:00 ◼   ► Apollo missions

00:46:02 ◼   ► or I want to be the person who has a ton

00:46:04 ◼   ► of Lord of the Rings knowledge but I

00:46:08 ◼   ► have much more like a serial specialists

00:46:12 ◼   ► like I will for a narrow period of time

00:46:15 ◼   ► get incredibly interested in the thing

00:46:17 ◼   ► and read up on everything that I can

00:46:20 ◼   ► possibly read about it and then suddenly

00:46:23 ◼   ► one day I will wake up and I will just

00:46:26 ◼   ► have no more interest in that thing

00:46:28 ◼   ► it's just that phase is over and so

00:46:30 ◼   ► there's a ton of stuff that I have done

00:46:32 ◼   ► this with but i really don't have a

00:46:35 ◼   ► single topic over a long period of time

00:46:38 ◼   ► that i can say oh you know I really love

00:46:41 ◼   ► and know everything about X I kind of

00:46:44 ◼   ► accept that as part of my personality is

00:46:47 ◼   ► part of the reason why I turned down

00:46:49 ◼   ► doing it like a PhD program a long time

00:46:51 ◼   ► ago because the whole idea of having to

00:46:53 ◼   ► focus on one specialist topic for a long

00:46:55 ◼   ► period of time I just came to the

00:46:57 ◼   ► realization and just face it straight on

00:46:58 ◼   ► like I can't be that person there's no

00:47:00 ◼   ► way i can actually do that so I

00:47:03 ◼   ► genuinely don't think I have any

00:47:06 ◼   ► meaningful specialist area that I could

00:47:09 ◼   ► offer up on a game show like that

00:47:11 ◼   ► well gray that's a fascinating insight

00:47:14 ◼   ► into you as a person as always and I

00:47:17 ◼   ► commend you for entering into the spirit

00:47:18 ◼   ► of the question but obviously your

00:47:20 ◼   ► answer is completely unacceptable to me

00:47:22 ◼   ► and I want to choose a subject just for

00:47:24 ◼   ► the sake of it with that huge

00:47:27 ◼   ► qualification attached to it i would

00:47:29 ◼   ► want to go on a TV show be tested on

00:47:31 ◼   ► Apollo or Star Wars the nerves of the

00:47:33 ◼   ► lights and the cameras i'm sure i'd

00:47:35 ◼   ► check and make a complete fool of myself

00:47:36 ◼   ► what if you had to do it like you had to

00:47:39 ◼   ► do it to save your family's life like I

00:47:42 ◼   ► appreciate that theoretical question I

00:47:44 ◼   ► really do

00:47:45 ◼   ► mm I'm trying to be strategic about this

00:47:47 ◼   ► but I I get what you're saying about you

00:47:50 ◼   ► not being someone who you know it's like

00:47:52 ◼   ► I'm not a person who has hobbies i think

00:47:54 ◼   ► i can ever maintain interest like that

00:47:56 ◼   ► for any length of time there are very

00:47:58 ◼   ► very few interests in anything that last

00:48:02 ◼   ► a very long time with me

00:48:05 ◼   ► yeah maybe voting systems but even then

00:48:09 ◼   ► I feel like it'd be trivial to design

00:48:12 ◼   ► specialist questions that i couldn't get

00:48:14 ◼   ► right

00:48:14 ◼   ► something like that i mean the quiz

00:48:16 ◼   ► buses aren't trying to embarrass you but

00:48:19 ◼   ► you're right that might be a hard one

00:48:20 ◼   ► because I probably feel quite limited in

00:48:21 ◼   ► what I can ask it doesn't like this is

00:48:23 ◼   ► why I like I'm trying to be somewhat

00:48:24 ◼   ► strategic about this is not like lord of

00:48:26 ◼   ► the rings where the well is infinite

00:48:27 ◼   ► yeah with voting systems it's a much

00:48:29 ◼   ► more bounded area

00:48:31 ◼   ► yeah and i think i could probably do

00:48:33 ◼   ► okay with something like that

00:48:35 ◼   ► interesting but even that I feel

00:48:36 ◼   ► incredibly tentative with that as you

00:48:39 ◼   ► know an answer so well you name

00:48:41 ◼   ► something so thank you for giving me one

00:48:43 ◼   ► if you gotta let me slide with that one

00:48:44 ◼   ► brain i'll let you slide with that

00:48:45 ◼   ► because you relented

00:48:47 ◼   ► thank you i appreciate about can I just

00:48:50 ◼   ► say one other thing that infuriates me

00:48:51 ◼   ► about that show mastermind the way the

00:48:54 ◼   ► show works is you answer the questions

00:48:56 ◼   ► in the time that i always think it's

00:48:58 ◼   ► unfair because it seems to me like

00:48:59 ◼   ► people get an uneven number of questions

00:49:02 ◼   ► like someone seems to get more questions

00:49:04 ◼   ► in their time slot than someone else but

00:49:06 ◼   ► that makers of the show always say

00:49:08 ◼   ► that's not needed what kind of banana

00:49:09 ◼   ► republic show is that they don't have a

00:49:11 ◼   ► set number of questions and time there

00:49:13 ◼   ► are no but the other thing that drives

00:49:14 ◼   ► me crazy is that the way it works is if

00:49:17 ◼   ► there's a tie the way they break the tie

00:49:19 ◼   ► is the person who passed on the least

00:49:21 ◼   ► questions because if you don't know

00:49:23 ◼   ► announcer you can just say pass and then

00:49:24 ◼   ► at the end they told the answers to all

00:49:26 ◼   ► the ones you got wrong who I don't know

00:49:28 ◼   ► why anyone ever says pass because if you

00:49:31 ◼   ► don't know the answer you should just

00:49:32 ◼   ► have like a thing in the back of your

00:49:33 ◼   ► head that I'm going to say John Smith

00:49:35 ◼   ► blue so at least you'll have no passes

00:49:38 ◼   ► people say in passing that show drives

00:49:41 ◼   ► me crazy because there's no strategic

00:49:43 ◼   ► advantage

00:49:44 ◼   ► I mean if you get one wrong the

00:49:45 ◼   ► quizmaster then tells you the correct

00:49:47 ◼   ► answer so that might take up one or two

00:49:48 ◼   ► seconds of your time but you're not

00:49:50 ◼   ► getting dark point it feels like you

00:49:52 ◼   ► should just burn through as many

00:49:53 ◼   ► questions as possible

00:49:54 ◼   ► yeah that's just me getting something

00:49:56 ◼   ► off my chest drives my wife crazy

00:49:57 ◼   ► because I complained about every time i

00:49:59 ◼   ► watch the show but I complain more about

00:50:01 ◼   ► the uneven number of questions to be

00:50:02 ◼   ► honest but it seems an incredibly unfair

00:50:04 ◼   ► but also seems like the stakes can't

00:50:05 ◼   ► possibly be high here if nobody's

00:50:07 ◼   ► figured out the strategy when they're

00:50:08 ◼   ► like who created the orcs and you go

00:50:10 ◼   ► potato right and it just they are now

00:50:11 ◼   ► sorry he's like keep moving keep moving

00:50:13 ◼   ► right yeah is there no reward on the

00:50:15 ◼   ► show is this just for funsies true that

00:50:18 ◼   ► the reason to big prize it's not high

00:50:20 ◼   ► stakes but anyway I take questions quite

00:50:23 ◼   ► seriously sometimes I don't want to get

00:50:25 ◼   ► too bogged down by all this

00:50:26 ◼   ► you are very serious about the

00:50:27 ◼   ► of games that is true that is true i am

00:50:30 ◼   ► so serious we can essentially never play

00:50:32 ◼   ► games we played games at Christmas way

00:50:34 ◼   ► you know that didn't even count what we

00:50:36 ◼   ► did was not even a game it was a

00:50:38 ◼   ► conversation starter which is the only

00:50:39 ◼   ► reason we were able to play we had a

00:50:41 ◼   ► great not weed is fun we had a very good

00:50:44 ◼   ► night over christmas but it seems like

00:50:46 ◼   ► it's impossible to play settlers of

00:50:47 ◼   ► catan with you you won't deal with it

00:50:49 ◼   ► now probably not say if we were doing it

00:50:54 ◼   ► for like a podcast I would because i

00:50:55 ◼   ► have to pretend pretend to be a normal

00:50:57 ◼   ► person is not totally losing his cool

00:50:59 ◼   ► yeah something else just quickly there

00:51:05 ◼   ► was new information to me and I feel

00:51:07 ◼   ► silly for not knowing this I don't know

00:51:08 ◼   ► if you know this but I'm often surprised

00:51:12 ◼   ► by things in shops that have security

00:51:14 ◼   ► tags on them to stop you shoplifting in

00:51:17 ◼   ► particular underwear like when you shop

00:51:20 ◼   ► for you wouldn't know this because you

00:51:23 ◼   ► know shop for underwear in the shops but

00:51:24 ◼   ► I'm already trying to spin up a

00:51:26 ◼   ► theoretical scenario under which I'm

00:51:27 ◼   ► shopping for clothing in a physical

00:51:29 ◼   ► store expensive like you know like a

00:51:32 ◼   ► thousand-pound leather jacket i can

00:51:34 ◼   ► understand they're putting a security

00:51:35 ◼   ► tag on so you can't just walk out of the

00:51:37 ◼   ► shop but the thing I've always surprise

00:51:39 ◼   ► is there is really really high security

00:51:41 ◼   ► unlike underwear like boxes of Calvin

00:51:43 ◼   ► Klein underwear or whatever like that

00:51:45 ◼   ► you know the trendy brand is they're

00:51:47 ◼   ► always so got security to the hilt like

00:51:49 ◼   ► it's Fort Knox and I've got all these

00:51:50 ◼   ► huge tags on them because they're

00:51:52 ◼   ► obviously a very stolen item who maybe

00:51:55 ◼   ► because people who shoplift want nice

00:51:57 ◼   ► underwear and maybe because they're a

00:51:59 ◼   ► good size to steal at night but it

00:52:01 ◼   ► always baffles me a little bit but I've

00:52:03 ◼   ► learned to accept it over the last 10 to

00:52:05 ◼   ► 15 years that it's a thing what I didn't

00:52:07 ◼   ► realize was the other day because I

00:52:09 ◼   ► don't eat steak very much i know

00:52:11 ◼   ► everyone loves steak and thinks it's

00:52:12 ◼   ► like the best thing in the world to a

00:52:13 ◼   ► true but I think it's really overrated

00:52:15 ◼   ► really the other day I decided to buy a

00:52:17 ◼   ► stake in my local supermarket and I

00:52:21 ◼   ► wanted to get a posh one because I'm

00:52:22 ◼   ► plushies cushions so I want to get like

00:52:24 ◼   ► you know that tasty choice special

00:52:26 ◼   ► deluxe version of course it wasn't like

00:52:28 ◼   ► a posh one from a butcher was still like

00:52:30 ◼   ► a prepackaged when it was sealed in

00:52:31 ◼   ► packaging and costs like 10 pounds or

00:52:33 ◼   ► something about that and I had security

00:52:35 ◼   ► tags all over at the checkout they had

00:52:38 ◼   ► to take the security tags off and

00:52:40 ◼   ► deactivated

00:52:40 ◼   ► so that shoplifters couldn't leave with

00:52:42 ◼   ► a case of steak instead of plastic this

00:52:47 ◼   ► was new information to me i said to the

00:52:49 ◼   ► woman is this like new

00:52:51 ◼   ► why is this security on a piece of steak

00:52:53 ◼   ► and she's like or I think they just get

00:52:55 ◼   ► stolen a lot people steal them

00:52:57 ◼   ► we had a whole conversation about I

00:52:58 ◼   ► brought the underwear without food and

00:53:00 ◼   ► she was like saying she thinks take is

00:53:02 ◼   ► an easy thing to resell like you could

00:53:03 ◼   ► go down to the pub and sell out that not

00:53:05 ◼   ► so it's got a good resale value like a

00:53:08 ◼   ► steak grain market out there

00:53:10 ◼   ► yeah I don't understand how this could

00:53:12 ◼   ► possibly be did you know this i mean do

00:53:14 ◼   ► you ever bought steak do you have a shop

00:53:16 ◼   ► for food i should be shot food shop for

00:53:18 ◼   ► food now of course of her i'm not going

00:53:20 ◼   ► to a supermarket and shopping for food

00:53:23 ◼   ► now I haven't done that in years

00:53:24 ◼   ► I can possibly avoid it right every once

00:53:27 ◼   ► in awhile i will get sent on errands

00:53:28 ◼   ► like a semi autonomous drone to just

00:53:30 ◼   ► pick up items that have been

00:53:31 ◼   ► photographed so i can visually identify

00:53:34 ◼   ► them without having to think about it

00:53:36 ◼   ► very much and bring them back

00:53:37 ◼   ► I've never roaming up and down as

00:53:39 ◼   ► supermarkets with the supermarket car

00:53:41 ◼   ► looking at things wondering why the

00:53:43 ◼   ► security tags on the steak

00:53:44 ◼   ► this is not an activity that I would

00:53:46 ◼   ► ever participate if I can possibly avoid

00:53:47 ◼   ► it

00:53:48 ◼   ► yeah i'm gonna have the uber guy bring

00:53:50 ◼   ► me some food or I'm going to have food

00:53:51 ◼   ► delivered to my door I'm not going to go

00:53:53 ◼   ► to the supermarket and deal with

00:53:55 ◼   ► security on the steak sounds like a real

00:53:57 ◼   ► hassle

00:53:58 ◼   ► it's the first time I've ever bought

00:53:59 ◼   ► photos had security on it was new to me

00:54:02 ◼   ► obviously moved up in the world are you

00:54:05 ◼   ► sure that steak was done dollars are you

00:54:07 ◼   ► sure you weren't buying much more

00:54:08 ◼   ► expensive steak

00:54:09 ◼   ► yeah i didnae Donna wasteful braiding

00:54:12 ◼   ► now I gave it to someone else to eat

00:54:14 ◼   ► because I knew I wasn't gonna eat it did

00:54:16 ◼   ► you resell it

00:54:17 ◼   ► it took it down the pub made a tidy

00:54:19 ◼   ► profit is like but here's the thing

00:54:21 ◼   ► Brady I feel like I have to actually ask

00:54:23 ◼   ► if you did resell it because I could

00:54:25 ◼   ► totally see that happening

00:54:26 ◼   ► I can I shelling is really you can come

00:54:28 ◼   ► someone who would want resale stuff i

00:54:30 ◼   ► don't understand why you do anything

00:54:33 ◼   ► sometimes I've gotta draw here full of

00:54:35 ◼   ► every iphone I've never ironed most

00:54:36 ◼   ► people and I sell their iphones when

00:54:38 ◼   ► they get rid of them

00:54:39 ◼   ► I never sell stuff soon be filled with

00:54:40 ◼   ► pixels that you on well now it was a bit

00:54:43 ◼   ► plasticky to be honest I wasn't very

00:54:45 ◼   ► impressed by the feel of it

00:54:46 ◼   ► m.phil shape i was disappointed I was up

00:54:49 ◼   ► for a tow but it felt cheap

00:54:51 ◼   ► starting at brady I'm sorry to hear the

00:54:53 ◼   ► security on your steak but i'm going to

00:54:56 ◼   ► guess that as security technology gets

00:54:58 ◼   ► cheaper going to be security and more

00:55:00 ◼   ► food supermarket seems going to be

00:55:02 ◼   ► security on ten-dollar bananas this

00:55:06 ◼   ► episode of Hello internet has been

00:55:07 ◼   ► brought to you in part by Harry's now

00:55:23 ◼   ► outside again how much I love both their

00:55:25 ◼   ► products but also just their general

00:55:27 ◼   ► attitude to design and marketing this is

00:55:30 ◼   ► a business started by two guys called

00:55:32 ◼   ► Jeff and Andy who were somewhat

00:55:34 ◼   ► disillusioned by the shaving industry in

00:55:37 ◼   ► particular some of the pricing practices

00:55:39 ◼   ► now we're not naming names here of

00:55:42 ◼   ► course but I can't think of one company

00:55:48 ◼   ► well naughty in its treatment of us the

00:55:51 ◼   ► shaving public so Harry's was born in

00:55:53 ◼   ► these guys took it so seriously they

00:55:55 ◼   ► even bought a shaving blade factory in

00:55:58 ◼   ► Germany I believe that serious business

00:56:00 ◼   ► that would be like gray and I buying a

00:56:02 ◼   ► record producing factory when we made

00:56:04 ◼   ► our vinyl edition we didn't do that by

00:56:06 ◼   ► the way but that's kind of the analogy

00:57:34 ◼   ► it really clear and put that card on the

00:57:36 ◼   ► table right now which is that you really

00:57:39 ◼   ► don't have anyone to dog sport where I'm

00:57:58 ◼   ► of friends that I possibly can be

00:58:00 ◼   ► I don't know if this can be a regular

00:58:02 ◼   ► thing I don't know if I can handle this

00:58:04 ◼   ► do you know the being a nice friend and

00:58:06 ◼   ► tolerance is all undone the minute you

00:58:08 ◼   ► say you're doing it i know but i feel

00:58:10 ◼   ► like i have sunk so many hours in my

00:58:12 ◼   ► life into listening to you talk about

00:58:13 ◼   ► sports

00:58:14 ◼   ► I'll tell you what there are 4 items

00:58:16 ◼   ► here are now let me just deal with two

00:58:19 ◼   ► of them those bottom two can wait for

00:58:20 ◼   ► another day because I bottom two are

00:58:22 ◼   ► going to take me awhile but let me deal

00:58:23 ◼   ► with those two top ones cause they'll be

00:58:25 ◼   ► a bit quicker and they're also a little

00:58:27 ◼   ► bit more up your alley and you don't

00:58:29 ◼   ► actually have to understand either of

00:58:31 ◼   ► these sports to appreciate the point i'm

00:58:33 ◼   ► wanting to race is so bad at estimating

00:58:36 ◼   ► what I'm interested in with this points

00:58:39 ◼   ► no no I don't think you'll be interested

00:58:41 ◼   ► as such but at least you don't have to

00:58:43 ◼   ► talk about like the rules of a game or

00:58:45 ◼   ► how the spores played with the rules of

00:58:47 ◼   ► the game where the most interesting

00:58:48 ◼   ► thing you just literally you're going to

00:58:54 ◼   ► talk about people which I couldn't care

00:58:56 ◼   ► about less but the abstract rules of how

00:58:57 ◼   ► the game works that's the only thing I'm

00:58:59 ◼   ► interested in

00:59:00 ◼   ► I've been listening Moneyball all day

00:59:02 ◼   ► and every time they talk about the

00:59:04 ◼   ► people in the sport of like I who cares

00:59:05 ◼   ► i can't keep track of any of these

00:59:06 ◼   ► people so they get back to the

00:59:08 ◼   ► statistics like now I'm interested

00:59:11 ◼   ► great do you know who and Demaryius now

00:59:14 ◼   ► alright and mary is a Scottish

00:59:18 ◼   ► tennis player and he has recently just

00:59:20 ◼   ► become the number one tennis player in

00:59:22 ◼   ► the world

00:59:23 ◼   ► ok he's one of the last two olympics

00:59:24 ◼   ► he's 12 Wimbledon titles and after many

00:59:27 ◼   ► many many years of a lack of British

00:59:30 ◼   ► success he has finally become a great

00:59:33 ◼   ► British tennis player

00:59:35 ◼   ► ok this is cause much happiness in the

00:59:37 ◼   ► UK it's funny he was always considered

00:59:39 ◼   ► very Scottish until he started winning

00:59:41 ◼   ► lots of stuff and then everyone in

00:59:42 ◼   ► England started referring to him more

00:59:44 ◼   ► often as British mhm the kind of got

00:59:46 ◼   ► adopted as a lot more British once he

00:59:48 ◼   ► was a champion

00:59:49 ◼   ► anyway that's by-the-by very good tennis

00:59:52 ◼   ► player and he's at the height of his

00:59:54 ◼   ► game he's the world number one at the

00:59:55 ◼   ► moment right in the New Year's Honours

00:59:58 ◼   ► List

00:59:59 ◼   ► hey

00:59:59 ◼   ► hey

01:00:00 ◼   ► he was knighted i actually have issues

01:00:02 ◼   ► with people being knighted during their

01:00:04 ◼   ► sports korea i think this should happen

01:00:06 ◼   ► afterwards but because the government

01:00:07 ◼   ► likes to use knighthoods as an excuse to

01:00:09 ◼   ► increase their popularity they have

01:00:13 ◼   ► knighted this guy while he's still

01:00:15 ◼   ► playing Lou alright i have no control

01:00:18 ◼   ► over that I don't I obviously i don't

01:00:20 ◼   ► think they should be doing it now but

01:00:22 ◼   ► I've done the two problems I have with

01:00:24 ◼   ► it is one I think it sounds silly

01:00:27 ◼   ► calling someone so Andy married when his

01:00:29 ◼   ► name is Andrew but he still called sir

01:00:32 ◼   ► Andy Mary Lou and the other thing that

01:00:35 ◼   ► really annoys me is because of weird

01:00:37 ◼   ► protocol or whatever reasons all of the

01:00:40 ◼   ► media outlets in the UK especially the

01:00:43 ◼   ► baby say now feel like they have to call

01:00:46 ◼   ► him so Andy marry at every reference so

01:00:49 ◼   ► you'll be listening to like the sports

01:00:51 ◼   ► update on the radio or the TV to find

01:00:53 ◼   ► out the latest results and they'll be

01:00:54 ◼   ► saying oh and so Andy Mary bait jeff

01:00:57 ◼   ► smith in a game of tennis sir Andy mary

01:00:59 ◼   ► has pulled his hamstring sir Andy Mary

01:01:02 ◼   ► will be playing in the US open tomorrow

01:01:04 ◼   ► and I think it sounds silly when you're

01:01:06 ◼   ► just running through sports results in a

01:01:08 ◼   ► guy who was just called Mary or Andy

01:01:10 ◼   ► marry a week ago is now being called sir

01:01:12 ◼   ► Andy Mary and every reference

01:01:13 ◼   ► I mean isn't that the whole point of the

01:01:17 ◼   ► name is that everybody has to do this

01:01:18 ◼   ► little acknowledgement thing

01:01:20 ◼   ► no I don't think that's the point of it

01:01:21 ◼   ► and a lot of people don't like it he has

01:01:24 ◼   ► said like in a column just you know to

01:01:26 ◼   ► call me Andy he doesn't want to be like

01:01:27 ◼   ► Sandy Mary all the time

01:01:29 ◼   ► mmm i mean i know lots of people who

01:01:31 ◼   ► were knighted who mr. fancy-pants pretty

01:01:35 ◼   ► awful Brady's friends ignited some of my

01:01:37 ◼   ► best friends are nights anyway I mean

01:01:42 ◼   ► like a i'm not quite sure what you're

01:01:44 ◼   ► saying here but if the dude has written

01:01:45 ◼   ► some article saying just call him Andy

01:01:47 ◼   ► then I think that's that supersedes

01:01:50 ◼   ► things like if someone wants to be

01:01:52 ◼   ► called Andy instead of Andrew it's like

01:01:55 ◼   ► you go along with that and if he's been

01:01:56 ◼   ► knighted and he says in when you doing

01:01:58 ◼   ► sports rundowns you don't have to call

01:02:00 ◼   ► me sir

01:02:00 ◼   ► Thank great ok now we're done with this

01:02:02 ◼   ► we don't have to actually call him Sir

01:02:04 ◼   ► I think they should just drop it then if

01:02:06 ◼   ► he's ok with dropping it

01:02:07 ◼   ► yeah what could be the possible

01:02:09 ◼   ► objection well it's pop there's probably

01:02:11 ◼   ► some protocol written in like some beast

01:02:13 ◼   ► I'll guide where anyone who was knighted

01:02:16 ◼   ► has to be referred to as Sarah in the

01:02:18 ◼   ► first reference and they're unwilling to

01:02:20 ◼   ► let it go something my question it

01:02:22 ◼   ► doesn't sound like a problem with Andy

01:02:23 ◼   ► doesn't sound like a problem with the

01:02:25 ◼   ► knighthood system sounds like it's a

01:02:26 ◼   ► problem with the BBC mara I wasn't a

01:02:29 ◼   ► portion blame I was just saying that no

01:02:30 ◼   ► it's me then I think the BBC needs to

01:02:34 ◼   ► change that style guy that we are

01:02:35 ◼   ► referring to a surprising amount of time

01:02:37 ◼   ► it's all right now let me give you my

01:02:40 ◼   ► other conundrum which I want you to

01:02:42 ◼   ► solve for me saying yourself to andy

01:02:44 ◼   ► Mary problem

01:02:45 ◼   ► ok you have a conundrum that you want me

01:02:46 ◼   ► to solve this is the Wayne Rooney

01:02:48 ◼   ► problem you know Wayne Rooney is now I

01:02:51 ◼   ► don't know when Ramires he's a football

01:02:53 ◼   ► he's a soccer player for Manchester

01:02:55 ◼   ► United ok for many many years the record

01:02:58 ◼   ► number of goals scored by a Manchester

01:03:05 ◼   ► butts big deal in England is called 249

01:03:08 ◼   ► girls live in manchester united and

01:03:10 ◼   ► Wayne Rooney has been closing in on this

01:03:12 ◼   ► record and what happened was about two

01:03:15 ◼   ► weeks ago he finally scored the goal to

01:03:19 ◼   ► equal the record and we had all the was

01:03:22 ◼   ► loud as a hero is on all over the

01:03:24 ◼   ► newspapers and their specials on TV and

01:03:26 ◼   ► it was isn't it brilliant is equal this

01:03:28 ◼   ► record at last and then I feel like

01:03:31 ◼   ► we're kind of painted into a corner

01:03:32 ◼   ► because is a bigger deal to equal the

01:03:35 ◼   ► record or break the record because two

01:03:37 ◼   ► weeks later he scored another go and he

01:03:40 ◼   ► became the highest score out on his own

01:03:42 ◼   ► on 250 then he was in all the newspapers

01:03:45 ◼   ► and we had all these TV specials and we

01:03:47 ◼   ► had all these tributes again and he was

01:03:48 ◼   ► lauded as it's great here I folk

01:03:50 ◼   ► breaking the record when records were

01:03:53 ◼   ► broken when should we be celebrating

01:03:55 ◼   ► when the record is equaled or when the

01:03:58 ◼   ► record was surpassed well obviously it's

01:04:01 ◼   ► when the record is surpassed equaling

01:04:03 ◼   ► the record who cares because the person

01:04:05 ◼   ► who did it first

01:04:06 ◼   ► that's way more impressive right right

01:04:08 ◼   ► yeah like doing something first and most

01:04:10 ◼   ► very impressive doing the same thing

01:04:13 ◼   ► somebody else did before you the same

01:04:16 ◼   ► amount not impressive at all so it's

01:04:18 ◼   ► obviously after but again I think this

01:04:22 ◼   ► is actually the BBC's problem again

01:04:25 ◼   ► because if they want to just talk about

01:04:26 ◼   ► a thing twice

01:04:27 ◼   ► because they have to fill the airwaves

01:04:29 ◼   ► with stuff to talk about so you how can

01:04:32 ◼   ► we turn one news story into two we can

01:04:34 ◼   ► talk about it twice that's how it made

01:04:36 ◼   ► them look silly and became a little bit

01:04:37 ◼   ► of water on Mars because it was like

01:04:39 ◼   ► didn't we celebrate this two weeks ago

01:04:41 ◼   ► wasn't he the great hero two weeks ago

01:04:43 ◼   ► why is this happening again so my

01:04:45 ◼   ► version of this that come across every

01:04:47 ◼   ► once awhile in the non sports world

01:04:48 ◼   ► which i always find confusing is news

01:04:52 ◼   ► stories that talk about it

01:04:53 ◼   ► the contents of a speech that have not

01:04:56 ◼   ► happened yet

01:04:57 ◼   ► yeah something about those things always

01:04:59 ◼   ► feel like they fell out of a parallel

01:05:01 ◼   ► universe like yeah

01:05:02 ◼   ► in a speech that will happen later today

01:05:05 ◼   ► the Prime Minister will lay out a policy

01:05:08 ◼   ► that has these three points like wait

01:05:11 ◼   ► what always happens with budgets as well

01:05:13 ◼   ► in the budget to be released tomorrow

01:05:14 ◼   ► there will be tax cuts yeah and the

01:05:17 ◼   ► other time always happens on christmas

01:05:18 ◼   ► day when we were told what the queen or

01:05:20 ◼   ► the archbishop is going to say in their

01:05:22 ◼   ► message to the world of peace later

01:05:24 ◼   ► today the Queen would deliver addressing

01:05:26 ◼   ► aging all Britons to hold hands and like

01:05:29 ◼   ► whoa hang on I haven't said it yet

01:05:31 ◼   ► yeah I find that so strange i remember

01:05:33 ◼   ► years ago there was an example of a

01:05:35 ◼   ► newsreader in America literally reading

01:05:37 ◼   ► a speech that the president was going to

01:05:40 ◼   ► give before the speech was given

01:05:41 ◼   ► absolutely

01:05:42 ◼   ► it feels so wrong I feel like if I was

01:05:44 ◼   ► president now I'm not giving you a copy

01:05:46 ◼   ► of my speech out of time you'll hear it

01:05:48 ◼   ► when I give it I'm with you there

01:05:49 ◼   ► I'm with you there I mean I guess the

01:05:50 ◼   ► reason they probably do is because this

01:05:52 ◼   ► is something that everybody really

01:05:53 ◼   ► totally hate that went a little

01:05:54 ◼   ► opportunity to be able to change the

01:05:56 ◼   ► last second which is kind of what I

01:05:57 ◼   ► presume is the reason that they do it

01:05:59 ◼   ► out it's about hitting the peak news

01:06:01 ◼   ► cycles and stuff isn't you think that's

01:06:02 ◼   ► what it and it's about the same thing

01:06:04 ◼   ► that happened with the window you go

01:06:05 ◼   ► it's about having two parts of the

01:06:06 ◼   ► cherry you get a new cycle the day

01:06:08 ◼   ► before and a new cycle when they've got

01:06:10 ◼   ► the footage of you actually saying it

01:06:11 ◼   ► when you get twice the coverage i guess

01:06:13 ◼   ► in my mind I was always thinking of it

01:06:15 ◼   ► like when you put a video up on patron

01:06:17 ◼   ► just for the patron so they could see a

01:06:18 ◼   ► little give you a chance that you really

01:06:20 ◼   ► have something up like it's not really

01:06:23 ◼   ► probably take a temperature

01:06:24 ◼   ► yeah exactly like how should I didn't

01:06:26 ◼   ► realize that mistake with their let me

01:06:27 ◼   ► fix this or like when cgpgrey releases a

01:06:30 ◼   ► script a few days before a video asking

01:06:32 ◼   ► for people to check his grandma the

01:06:33 ◼   ► grammar nazi sneak peek that's exactly

01:06:35 ◼   ► right like oh hey look at all these

01:06:36 ◼   ► words in my video I hope they're all

01:06:38 ◼   ► spelled right

01:06:39 ◼   ► there no that's what I always thought it

01:06:42 ◼   ► was but i think you're right yeah it's

01:06:43 ◼   ► the exact same thing they want to be

01:06:45 ◼   ► talked about twice but going back to

01:06:47 ◼   ► wayne rooney you would have bit of a

01:06:48 ◼   ► conundrum because the day he scores go

01:06:50 ◼   ► 249 and he's equal this famous record

01:06:53 ◼   ► you can't say nothing about it because

01:06:55 ◼   ► it's a bit of an elephant in the room

01:06:57 ◼   ► sure you can of course you can see

01:06:58 ◼   ► nothing about it why do you have to say

01:07:00 ◼   ► something about it like a your i just i

01:07:02 ◼   ► live in a world of sports hype wheres

01:07:03 ◼   ► the idea of saying nothing is completely

01:07:05 ◼   ► foreign to me you're quite right that

01:07:06 ◼   ► sorry Wayne Rooney I don't really care

01:07:08 ◼   ► about your score until it's bigger and

01:07:10 ◼   ► the story good

01:07:11 ◼   ► you saw it around for me that's how i'd

01:07:12 ◼   ► rather sports news network

01:07:14 ◼   ► that's all for sports bar corner until

01:07:16 ◼   ► next time we do with a few media subject

01:07:18 ◼   ► sauna gonna look forward to it Brady i

01:07:23 ◼   ► look forward to it

01:07:25 ◼   ► okay Brady many months ago now i think

01:07:30 ◼   ► you got me a little present I take me

01:07:34 ◼   ► present present that i have with me

01:07:40 ◼   ► work for you hello hear the dead trees

01:07:43 ◼   ► here the dead trays is fully work if I'm

01:07:45 ◼   ► using the actual thing I don't know

01:07:47 ◼   ► book

01:07:48 ◼   ► this is what you got me a book called

01:07:50 ◼   ► some for details from the after lives by

01:07:55 ◼   ► David equal in and I think it's actually

01:07:59 ◼   ► came up when we were doing the vote

01:08:01 ◼   ► counting you mention this book as an

01:08:03 ◼   ► interesting book to read it's made up of

01:08:05 ◼   ► very large number of very short stories

01:08:09 ◼   ► about what might happen to you in the

01:08:11 ◼   ► afterlife like I need two or three pages

01:08:13 ◼   ► h1 yeah they're very very short and you

01:08:17 ◼   ► sold it to me on like oh I might be

01:08:20 ◼   ► interested in this book as a nice little

01:08:21 ◼   ► book that you could put by your bedside

01:08:24 ◼   ► just read a couple of pages and I

01:08:27 ◼   ► accepted graciously and it sat next to

01:08:29 ◼   ► my bed for months

01:08:32 ◼   ► untouched by human hands can I just

01:08:36 ◼   ► clarify before you tell me what you did

01:08:38 ◼   ► next was he

01:08:39 ◼   ► well you still got us so you haven't

01:08:40 ◼   ► burned it's not like a religious book

01:08:42 ◼   ► it's not about what really happens in

01:08:44 ◼   ► the afterlife just in case people think

01:08:46 ◼   ► it's about yeah it's like a fictional

01:08:49 ◼   ► book writer some fun speculations it's

01:08:51 ◼   ► not thought experiments it's just things

01:08:52 ◼   ► to get you think

01:08:53 ◼   ► thing about life more than death

01:08:55 ◼   ► actually but yeah it's not like you know

01:08:57 ◼   ► this is what will happen in heaven or

01:08:59 ◼   ► stuff it's not touch financial people

01:09:01 ◼   ► it's fiction right that's yeah that's

01:09:02 ◼   ► excellent clarification and I was

01:09:04 ◼   ► interested in the book because you gave

01:09:06 ◼   ► me an interesting description of it you

01:09:07 ◼   ► told me something that the basic

01:09:08 ◼   ► premises and so I i accepted the gift

01:09:10 ◼   ► graciously and then I proceeded not to

01:09:12 ◼   ► touch it forever and sort of half forgot

01:09:15 ◼   ► about it even though it was literally

01:09:16 ◼   ► the only thing on the dress that was

01:09:19 ◼   ► mine it was more of a problem

01:09:21 ◼   ► yeah exactly well one of the reasons i

01:09:24 ◼   ► gave it to you besides thinking that you

01:09:26 ◼   ► would like the contents and I wanted to

01:09:28 ◼   ► talk to you about the contents of the

01:09:29 ◼   ► book I mean I know you don't like paper

01:09:31 ◼   ► books and but i actually thought you

01:09:33 ◼   ► would want this book as an object it's

01:09:35 ◼   ► actually quite an attractive book it's

01:09:36 ◼   ► small and thin as sort of black and I

01:09:39 ◼   ► thought if there was ever a book you're

01:09:41 ◼   ► going to like the look of and accept

01:09:43 ◼   ► into your object lighthouse it might be

01:09:46 ◼   ► this book i love that this is something

01:09:49 ◼   ► that crosses your mind you're looking at

01:09:50 ◼   ► work and trying to think

01:09:52 ◼   ► will this be accepted into the great

01:09:54 ◼   ► household it's quite modest you know

01:09:56 ◼   ► it's not gaudy or colorful and not big

01:09:58 ◼   ► and fat it looks cool it looks like

01:10:00 ◼   ► something you would carry around with

01:10:02 ◼   ► you and I mean it looks like a kindle

01:10:03 ◼   ► and actually is not much bigger than a

01:10:06 ◼   ► kindle itself yes that is correct

01:10:08 ◼   ► yeah but so went untouched for a long

01:10:10 ◼   ► time and then finally last night for

01:10:13 ◼   ► some reason I felt motivated to give it

01:10:17 ◼   ► a shot and I've read through perhaps the

01:10:19 ◼   ► first twenty-five percent maybe a third

01:10:22 ◼   ► of this book and I have some pop trading

01:10:25 ◼   ► account white okay first of all we have

01:10:28 ◼   ► to talk about the physical paper nests

01:10:31 ◼   ► of this book

01:10:32 ◼   ► mhm because I've got my copy here too by

01:10:35 ◼   ► the way okay go

01:10:36 ◼   ► there's someplace out there we go very

01:10:38 ◼   ► nice I was trying to think it has been

01:10:42 ◼   ► maybe five years since i have read a

01:10:48 ◼   ► physical book made of paper

01:10:50 ◼   ► hmm it might possibly be longer than

01:10:53 ◼   ► that but I'm pretty confident that it

01:10:54 ◼   ► has been five years and i have to say

01:10:58 ◼   ► when I decided like oh let me pick this
