[Music]


0:00:24.540,0:00:29.770

hello and welcome to the culture quest


0:00:27.310,0:00:33.010

we are but humble adventurers and today


0:00:29.770,0:00:35.980

we take a deep look at ourselves with me


0:00:33.010,0:00:38.980

as always are Peter hello and Baryo


0:00:35.980,0:00:40.930

hello and I am Ynon thank you the


0:00:38.980,0:00:43.960

listeners at home for taking part in our


0:00:40.930,0:00:46.540

noble quest so this is our third casual


0:00:43.960,0:00:48.879

spontaneous and fun lockdown bonus


0:00:46.540,0:00:50.590

episode we've always enjoyed taking


0:00:48.879,0:00:53.350

interesting questions from ask Reddit


0:00:50.590,0:00:55.600

and discussing our answers we've done


0:00:53.350,0:00:57.910

that in quite a few tavern talk segments


0:00:55.600,0:01:00.130

so far that's why we've decided today to


0:00:57.910,0:01:02.079

do a mega version of that we're going to


0:01:00.130,0:01:03.550

look up a few random questions each of


0:01:02.079,0:01:05.410

us will get a chance to answer them


0:01:03.550,0:01:08.200

and there's no telling what we might


0:01:05.410,0:01:09.970

learn about ourselves today Before we


0:01:08.200,0:01:11.710

jump into that I wanted to quickly talk


0:01:09.970,0:01:14.680

about a few upcoming episodes and other


0:01:11.710,0:01:17.470

cool things we're doing so um in terms


0:01:14.680,0:01:19.540

of our upcoming episodes I think that


0:01:17.470,0:01:21.940

some really exciting things are headed


0:01:19.540,0:01:23.649

our way our next episode is going to be


0:01:21.940,0:01:25.720

a side quest about the intrapersonal


0:01:23.649,0:01:27.789

which is a scientific term that


0:01:25.720,0:01:29.530

originates in the field of geology but


0:01:27.789,0:01:32.200

sort of became this interesting


0:01:29.530,0:01:34.180

phenomena I've been editing the episode


0:01:32.200,0:01:35.830

in the last couple of days and I think


0:01:34.180,0:01:38.560

that this is going to be one of our most


0:01:35.830,0:01:40.180

compelling discussions and the episode


0:01:38.560,0:01:42.250

after that is going to be about Joss


0:01:40.180,0:01:45.100

Whedon's Firefly and serenity we're


0:01:42.250,0:01:47.830

going to let the geeks inside us loose


0:01:45.100,0:01:49.869

for a while and then we're going to have


0:01:47.830,0:01:53.409

an episode about Queens live at Wembley


0:01:49.869,0:01:55.390

from 1986 I think all of us here really


0:01:53.409,0:01:58.750

love Queens so I can't wait to talk


0:01:55.390,0:02:00.729

about that and I also want to let you


0:01:58.750,0:02:03.640

guys know about a few other things that


0:02:00.729,0:02:05.710

I myself have recently done I had the


0:02:03.640,0:02:08.019

chance to appear on a few other podcasts


0:02:05.710,0:02:09.670

as a guest and these are some really


0:02:08.019,0:02:12.519

good podcast by really talented people


0:02:09.670,0:02:14.290

and I'll tell you all about them and if


0:02:12.519,0:02:16.030

you want to give them a go you can start


0:02:14.290,0:02:18.310

with the episodes I'm in that way you'll


0:02:16.030,0:02:22.000

have a familiar voice to listen to


0:02:18.310,0:02:23.860

so the first one is the older people you


0:02:22.000,0:02:26.350

should know podcast it's a history


0:02:23.860,0:02:28.810

podcast in which every episode focuses


0:02:26.350,0:02:31.030

on a historical figure that is not very


0:02:28.810,0:02:33.700

well known today I think it's really


0:02:31.030,0:02:35.620

well made in the episode I was on we


0:02:33.700,0:02:37.650

each brought up one historical figure I


0:02:35.620,0:02:39.959

talked about Christian Arenberg


0:02:37.650,0:02:41.819

which is a scientist and an explorer


0:02:39.959,0:02:44.489

that was pretty big in the 19th century


0:02:41.819,0:02:46.409

and my connection to him was that when


0:02:44.489,0:02:48.810

he was exploring in the Red Sea he named


0:02:46.409,0:02:52.260

a bunch of cold species including the


0:02:48.810,0:02:54.690

one that I am researching today Josh the


0:02:52.260,0:02:57.269

host of the podcast brought up francisco


0:02:54.690,0:02:59.280

de Bobadilla a historical figure whose


0:02:57.269,0:03:01.920

story is tied up with Christopher


0:02:59.280,0:03:04.290

Columbus's something fun with the


0:03:01.920,0:03:06.569

episode that I wanted to bring up is


0:03:04.290,0:03:08.670

that when we started recording Josh


0:03:06.569,0:03:10.920

brought up that Terran talk segment we


0:03:08.670,0:03:12.810

did a while back where we each brought


0:03:10.920,0:03:14.670

up a favorite quote and asked me about


0:03:12.810,0:03:17.700

barrios quote if you remember that quote


0:03:14.670,0:03:20.340

was to forgive is divine but never pay a


0:03:17.700,0:03:22.620

full price for a lake pizza he asked me


0:03:20.340,0:03:24.720

if we know where the quote comes from


0:03:22.620,0:03:27.480

and I told him I died and myself had no


0:03:24.720,0:03:29.579

idea I guess you guys didn't as well he


0:03:27.480,0:03:32.250

told me that the second he heard that


0:03:29.579,0:03:33.900

quote he immediately remembered that he


0:03:32.250,0:03:39.030

heard it on the Teenage Mutant Ninja


0:03:33.900,0:03:41.579

Turtles movie from 1990 all these


0:03:39.030,0:03:45.569

precious gems stuck in there in the back


0:03:41.579,0:03:47.609

of my mind from the 90s I thought it was


0:03:45.569,0:03:49.530

brilliant I think like out of all the


0:03:47.609,0:03:51.480

quotes we mentioned barrios might have


0:03:49.530,0:03:54.030

been the best like we all liked it we


0:03:51.480,0:03:56.609

all analyzed it for a while and as it


0:03:54.030,0:03:58.139

turns out it's a referal quote just to


0:03:56.609,0:03:59.760

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quote it's


0:03:58.139,0:04:01.980

rougher I think it's Michelangelo


0:03:59.760,0:04:04.410

it sounds like Michelangelo I might have


0:04:01.980,0:04:06.030

been it's kind of hard to see because at


0:04:04.410,0:04:08.819

the moment that they're saying that


0:04:06.030,0:04:11.010

quote you only let us see that rate from


0:04:08.819,0:04:13.139

above the sewer from above you can see


0:04:11.010,0:04:15.060

who's talking so I kind of figured it


0:04:13.139,0:04:16.620

was ref yo because you know he's kind of


0:04:15.060,0:04:17.910

the cool guy with all the cool quotes


0:04:16.620,0:04:19.859

and stuff but I don't really know


0:04:17.910,0:04:22.530

actually it's more of a zen-like quote


0:04:19.859,0:04:25.560

so Michelangelo and pizza I don't know


0:04:22.530,0:04:27.720

yeah since the sense that vibe um the


0:04:25.560,0:04:30.000

second podcast have been a guest on is


0:04:27.720,0:04:33.449

the bacon games fantasy sports podcast


0:04:30.000,0:04:35.070

which is a mainly sports focused podcast


0:04:33.449,0:04:37.530

and at the moment it's mostly about the


0:04:35.070,0:04:39.479

NFL because well at the moment that's


0:04:37.530,0:04:42.720

the only league that's producing news at


0:04:39.479,0:04:44.820

the moment I was on it and Jesse the


0:04:42.720,0:04:46.919

host and I talked about the NFL in


0:04:44.820,0:04:49.409

general and about the Seahawks which is


0:04:46.919,0:04:49.729

the team that I follow and it was a lot


0:04:49.409,0:04:52.099

of


0:04:49.729,0:04:53.300

I think that if you're into sports at


0:04:52.099,0:04:56.719

all you should check it out because


0:04:53.300,0:04:58.550

Jesse he's such a knowledgeable guy and


0:04:56.719,0:05:00.050

like you can totally repeat what you


0:04:58.550,0:05:01.309

hear on the podcast in conversations


0:05:00.050,0:05:02.629

with your friends and kind of make it


0:05:01.309,0:05:05.689

seem like you know what you're talking


0:05:02.629,0:05:08.089

about so I'll check it out and the third


0:05:05.689,0:05:11.150

podcast I was on is the Bulldogs and


0:05:08.089,0:05:13.610

Dragons podcasts which is a D&D podcast


0:05:11.150,0:05:15.319

in which the main story kind of follows


0:05:13.610,0:05:18.589

a few young adventurers that are


0:05:15.319,0:05:20.449

attending the milestone Academy and the


0:05:18.589,0:05:22.819

thing is they usually get together and


0:05:20.449,0:05:24.080

record this podcast but because of the


0:05:22.819,0:05:26.569

quarantine that's impossible at the


0:05:24.080,0:05:29.509

moment so instead of letting the podcast


0:05:26.569,0:05:32.120

go on hiatus Joseph the dungeon master


0:05:29.509,0:05:34.939

gathered a group of podcasters and we're


0:05:32.120,0:05:36.919

doing another story that's set a few


0:05:34.939,0:05:38.749

generations before the main story and


0:05:36.919,0:05:41.809

kind of tells about the history of the


0:05:38.749,0:05:44.930

world like I said I play alongside a few


0:05:41.809,0:05:47.360

other podcasters which are Kent from The


0:05:44.930,0:05:50.539

Bad audiobook podcast David from the


0:05:47.360,0:05:52.370

Dungeons & chill podcast and Jesse who


0:05:50.539,0:05:54.499

I've already mentioned today from the


0:05:52.370,0:05:57.349

bacon games fantasy sports podcast and


0:05:54.499,0:05:59.449

so far this has been a lot of fun the


0:05:57.349,0:06:02.599

other players are awesome and Joseph the


0:05:59.449,0:06:05.209

DM he really knows his stuff and the


0:06:02.599,0:06:07.669

first episode just came out I think this


0:06:05.209,0:06:10.879

is going to be three or four episodes or


0:06:07.669,0:06:13.039

so I'm not exactly sure and of course


0:06:10.879,0:06:15.189

I'll include links to each and every one


0:06:13.039,0:06:18.020

of these podcasts in the show notes so


0:06:15.189,0:06:19.879

let's head into the main discussion


0:06:18.020,0:06:22.180

we're going to do a few s credit


0:06:19.879,0:06:25.069

questions which it's kind of an S credit


0:06:22.180,0:06:29.360

extravaganza or I like to call it ask


0:06:25.069,0:06:29.719

traffic danza know you don't get that


0:06:29.360,0:06:34.039

one


0:06:29.719,0:06:36.020

Oh answer okay um so uh who wants to go


0:06:34.039,0:06:38.149

first and who wants to choose the first


0:06:36.020,0:06:41.389

question we talked about uh what movie


0:06:38.149,0:06:43.879

is guaranteed to make you cry huh do you


0:06:41.389,0:06:46.430

guys cry at movies a lot oh my god like


0:06:43.879,0:06:48.169

a baby really I mean I wasn't like that


0:06:46.430,0:06:50.509

when I was younger I think something


0:06:48.169,0:06:53.300

just broke inside of me when I


0:06:50.509,0:06:56.539

discovered the real world as a mature


0:06:53.300,0:06:59.569

person and now pretty much every movie


0:06:56.539,0:07:01.959

that tries to make me cry I just you


0:06:59.569,0:07:01.959

know I


0:07:02.969,0:07:06.959

a few years ago like I used to go to


0:07:05.249,0:07:09.059

work in the mornings come back home in


0:07:06.959,0:07:11.729

the afternoons and then watch a couple


0:07:09.059,0:07:15.029

of movies every day and I don't remember


0:07:11.729,0:07:16.979

which movie but like I don't cry a lot


0:07:15.029,0:07:19.829

of movies but and that point in my life


0:07:16.979,0:07:22.019

for some reason I don't know I had like


0:07:19.829,0:07:23.939

a very sensitive couple of months or


0:07:22.019,0:07:26.610

something and I don't remember which


0:07:23.939,0:07:28.469

movie was something maybe a chick flick


0:07:26.610,0:07:31.110

really made me cry


0:07:28.469,0:07:33.629

because I remember like being totally


0:07:31.110,0:07:35.789

devastated and and talking to myself and


0:07:33.629,0:07:38.939

and saying things like why doesn't she


0:07:35.789,0:07:41.009

love him I don't remember I have to


0:07:38.939,0:07:42.719

remember I have to find out which movie


0:07:41.009,0:07:45.299

was I really can remember


0:07:42.719,0:07:48.149

hmm no I don't know I don't know Peter


0:07:45.299,0:07:51.419

what about you I I remember I don't cry


0:07:48.149,0:07:53.759

in many movies but I do remember going


0:07:51.419,0:07:56.129

to the cinema and I was actually bawling


0:07:53.759,0:07:59.339

because I was actually pretty young and


0:07:56.129,0:08:01.379

I had a dog at the time Molly and me


0:07:59.339,0:08:03.869

I've only seen it once so I can't really


0:08:01.379,0:08:05.639

recall the details but Molly and me it


0:08:03.869,0:08:07.829

was like a tearjerker I remember that


0:08:05.639,0:08:09.929

but I've actually got a podcast that I


0:08:07.829,0:08:13.139

cried it oh really yeah


0:08:09.929,0:08:16.110

well I think I've mentioned it maybe but


0:08:13.139,0:08:18.269

it's the reply-all episode the case of


0:08:16.110,0:08:21.209

the missing hit have you guys heard that


0:08:18.269,0:08:24.149

no no I plan to listen to it but no not


0:08:21.209,0:08:27.389

yet well this guy has like sort of like


0:08:24.149,0:08:30.209

an ear worm for a song from the nineties


0:08:27.389,0:08:32.699

and no one knows what it is


0:08:30.209,0:08:34.949

so the people from reply all they do


0:08:32.699,0:08:37.919

that it's sort of a super tech support


0:08:34.949,0:08:40.469

they call it where they have to like


0:08:37.919,0:08:43.169

track down what the original song was


0:08:40.469,0:08:45.329

and without ruining everything they get


0:08:43.169,0:08:48.209

to like a sort of what you would call a


0:08:45.329,0:08:52.860

satisfying ending and the when the guy


0:08:48.209,0:08:55.620

was listening to the actual song that he


0:08:52.860,0:08:57.600

was sort of humming in his head and he


0:08:55.620,0:09:00.209

was and it's been like in his head for


0:08:57.600,0:09:03.420

like 15 years then I was like wow like


0:09:00.209,0:09:05.279

that's so emotional so yeah mmm cool I


0:09:03.420,0:09:07.559

can totally do that I remembered a story


0:09:05.279,0:09:11.250

about a movie that that made me wet I


0:09:07.559,0:09:13.649

was just after a big trip where meaning


0:09:11.250,0:09:16.769

undid a part of it but then we split up


0:09:13.649,0:09:18.540

and I was in in Mexico for


0:09:16.769,0:09:22.619

about the month and then I went to


0:09:18.540,0:09:27.509

Belize and I flew back to Mexico City


0:09:22.619,0:09:30.179

and it all just started to be real I was


0:09:27.509,0:09:31.949

I was tired you know I was I mean I had


0:09:30.179,0:09:33.839

I had the time of my life in that trip


0:09:31.949,0:09:35.730

but I was kind of feeling that one


0:09:33.839,0:09:39.559

period of my life has ended and I'm


0:09:35.730,0:09:44.309

continuing to another and I landed at


0:09:39.559,0:09:47.989

Mexico City so I landed around I think 2


0:09:44.309,0:09:52.439

a.m. and I had my flight back home


0:09:47.989,0:09:54.299

around 7:00 I think so I just stayed at


0:09:52.439,0:09:58.019

the airport and tried to pass the time


0:09:54.299,0:10:00.619

and I got a couple of movies on my small


0:09:58.019,0:10:03.629

laptop with me and I started watching


0:10:00.619,0:10:04.079

default is with our stars or something


0:10:03.629,0:10:08.610

like that


0:10:04.079,0:10:12.360

that's a completely remembered you know


0:10:08.610,0:10:14.999

I was sitting I think at a table in


0:10:12.360,0:10:17.610

front of McDonald's and everyone around


0:10:14.999,0:10:20.040

me was just you know shady people like


0:10:17.610,0:10:24.240

me that just like you're not supposed to


0:10:20.040,0:10:27.029

be there at that hour and sing you know


0:10:24.240,0:10:29.490

and I just started weeping at the end I


0:10:27.029,0:10:31.319

don't know I think I was just exhausted


0:10:29.490,0:10:33.569

you know and it's also a really sad


0:10:31.319,0:10:35.699

movie yeah kind of a young adult drama


0:10:33.569,0:10:38.699

yeah but you know it's a lot about death


0:10:35.699,0:10:41.249

and things that end and everything is


0:10:38.699,0:10:43.410

temporary and and I don't know it just


0:10:41.249,0:10:46.290

takes you this emotional roller coaster


0:10:43.410,0:10:48.809

and and I was so exhausted to begin with


0:10:46.290,0:10:54.509

Hey I remember just I just took my coat


0:10:48.809,0:10:58.439

and covered myself in it and just such a


0:10:54.509,0:10:59.639

weird scenario okay so what's the next


0:10:58.439,0:11:03.540

question you guys want to talk about


0:10:59.639,0:11:07.139

okay I have one at what moment did you


0:11:03.540,0:11:07.919

stop and thought oh I fucked up mmm


0:11:07.139,0:11:09.569

that's a good question


0:11:07.919,0:11:13.379

it doesn't really work for me I just


0:11:09.569,0:11:14.279

suppress all my bad memories I'll tell


0:11:13.379,0:11:18.029

you mine


0:11:14.279,0:11:21.089

so in my job we we develop software


0:11:18.029,0:11:23.519

right and our software is kind of what


0:11:21.089,0:11:26.339

you call a sass which is software as a


0:11:23.519,0:11:29.649

service where you we got like a couple


0:11:26.339,0:11:32.110

of servers that serve all our customers


0:11:29.649,0:11:35.019

we got around you know seven hundred


0:11:32.110,0:11:37.180

eight hundred customers and in general


0:11:35.019,0:11:40.149

they serve a couple thousand sites and


0:11:37.180,0:11:42.910

and those couple thousands of sites kind


0:11:40.149,0:11:45.790

of serve a couple tens of billions of


0:11:42.910,0:11:48.309

users global light and our software is


0:11:45.790,0:11:51.189

pretty critical because what we do is we


0:11:48.309,0:11:53.949

kind of enabled people to log in so if


0:11:51.189,0:11:56.920

they want to buy something or or look at


0:11:53.949,0:11:59.230

something or advertise or anything you


0:11:56.920,0:12:01.360

first need to log in because we need to


0:11:59.230,0:12:05.050

know who you are in order for the actual


0:12:01.360,0:12:08.189

site or application to work so we had


0:12:05.050,0:12:10.980

this change and it was really minor and


0:12:08.189,0:12:14.199

we deployed it we monitored it


0:12:10.980,0:12:17.470

everything looked fine and then you know


0:12:14.199,0:12:19.540

there was a there was a happy hour so we


0:12:17.470,0:12:21.850

went and we started drinking and we had


0:12:19.540,0:12:25.389

good time and everything was really nice


0:12:21.850,0:12:28.839

and I got pretty pretty drunk and then


0:12:25.389,0:12:30.970

someone comes and says there's a this


0:12:28.839,0:12:34.629

customer that says he as a as an image


0:12:30.970,0:12:37.600

an emergency so saying okay just give me


0:12:34.629,0:12:39.550

two minutes I'm I'm coming then I get


0:12:37.600,0:12:45.429

another phone call another customer with


0:12:39.550,0:12:48.490

another emergency okay so I go Joe


0:12:45.429,0:12:51.040

we got like it's called NOC network


0:12:48.490,0:12:53.290

operation center right that's like the


0:12:51.040,0:12:56.529

guy who monitors everything and then it


0:12:53.290,0:12:59.350

just runs into the room and he says guys


0:12:56.529,0:13:01.899

there's no traffic like everything


0:12:59.350,0:13:04.689

stopped working it's not just one site


0:13:01.899,0:13:08.439

it's not just one customer it's all the


0:13:04.689,0:13:11.499

customers with all the millions of users


0:13:08.439,0:13:15.610

and I was drunk and and I was thinking


0:13:11.499,0:13:18.040

wait wait why why why oh and then I like


0:13:15.610,0:13:19.839

I figured like something that we


0:13:18.040,0:13:21.579

couldn't replicate in our development


0:13:19.839,0:13:25.329

environment and we'll probably only come


0:13:21.579,0:13:27.809

into play in production and then I had


0:13:25.329,0:13:27.809

like Oh


0:13:27.850,0:13:33.940

so I just you know run still inebriated


0:13:31.600,0:13:35.770

to my computer and just like we gotta


0:13:33.940,0:13:41.320

roll this bag we gotta roll this back


0:13:35.770,0:13:43.120

and then you know it was done and I was


0:13:41.320,0:13:45.910

like I was like whoo


0:13:43.120,0:13:47.770

that was fun and then like my boss kind


0:13:45.910,0:13:50.230

of picks from the other way of the room


0:13:47.770,0:13:52.090

he says we need we need that to do we


0:13:50.230,0:13:55.420

got this process called a post-mortem


0:13:52.090,0:13:57.580

when we have this downtime then we have


0:13:55.420,0:14:00.310

to send like an explanation why it


0:13:57.580,0:14:02.020

happened I was like we need the


0:14:00.310,0:14:03.360

post-mortem until tomorrow morning okay


0:14:02.020,0:14:06.640

bye


0:14:03.360,0:14:10.150

and I was like fuck I'm not in the


0:14:06.640,0:14:12.640

condition to do it but I did it anyway


0:14:10.150,0:14:16.390

and everything was fine but yeah it was


0:14:12.640,0:14:18.160

just like one of the worst things I've


0:14:16.390,0:14:20.650

ever done in my career you know it's


0:14:18.160,0:14:22.150

just it was just such a small thing and


0:14:20.650,0:14:25.510

and you didn't take into account


0:14:22.150,0:14:27.580

something and just fuck how long was the


0:14:25.510,0:14:31.360

Danton period oh you know like a few


0:14:27.580,0:14:34.050

minutes no I think it was around half an


0:14:31.360,0:14:36.910

hour which is a lot don't get me wrong


0:14:34.050,0:14:38.650

yeah like imagine you got you got you


0:14:36.910,0:14:40.690

know I don't want to mention any any


0:14:38.650,0:14:43.270

client but just imagine that you're a


0:14:40.690,0:14:45.880

big company that you kind of depend on


0:14:43.270,0:14:49.360

selling stuff and you can't sell stuff


0:14:45.880,0:14:54.100

for an hour that's yeah bad yeah that's


0:14:49.360,0:14:57.640

really bad I have a fucked up moment but


0:14:54.100,0:14:59.440

it affected basically just me it's kind


0:14:57.640,0:15:02.650

of a moment that I'm a bit embarrassed


0:14:59.440,0:15:04.780

of so a couple years ago I told you guys


0:15:02.650,0:15:07.630

about it recently I used to do this blog


0:15:04.780,0:15:09.460

I used to write all kinds of articles


0:15:07.630,0:15:12.160

about things that I find interesting I


0:15:09.460,0:15:14.440

did it as a hobby I had a lot of fun


0:15:12.160,0:15:16.390

doing it and I think that all I know


0:15:14.440,0:15:17.890

when I stopped doing it when I started


0:15:16.390,0:15:18.610

my master's degree and I couldn't find


0:15:17.890,0:15:21.670

the time for it


0:15:18.610,0:15:25.390

I had like I don't remember eight nine


0:15:21.670,0:15:26.920

or ten articles and I think like three


0:15:25.390,0:15:30.370

or four more that I was in the middle of


0:15:26.920,0:15:32.020

researching and I had this Google


0:15:30.370,0:15:33.400

account with that's kind of like a


0:15:32.020,0:15:35.980

professional account you know that you


0:15:33.400,0:15:39.130

have your own domain name and you have


0:15:35.980,0:15:40.630

your own unlimited Google Drive account


0:15:39.130,0:15:43.240

and everything


0:15:40.630,0:15:46.410

and I used to store everything there you


0:15:43.240,0:15:49.300

know when I stopped doing the blog I


0:15:46.410,0:15:51.730

kind of give it some time to see if


0:15:49.300,0:15:54.580

maybe I'll find an opportunity to do it


0:15:51.730,0:15:57.580

again but then after a couple of months


0:15:54.580,0:16:00.850

I decided well this is at least for now


0:15:57.580,0:16:03.160

I'm not gonna be doing it so I backed


0:16:00.850,0:16:05.560

everything up like I downloaded the


0:16:03.160,0:16:07.770

whole content of my Google Drive I used


0:16:05.560,0:16:10.960

to do everything on Google Drive and


0:16:07.770,0:16:13.420

then I shut down the account


0:16:10.960,0:16:16.630

I basically unsubscribe from that Google


0:16:13.420,0:16:19.450

account and that's it and then the


0:16:16.630,0:16:22.000

moment I clicked unsubscribe the moment


0:16:19.450,0:16:25.060

I clicked cancel the account I realized


0:16:22.000,0:16:28.180

that almost all of the data I've


0:16:25.060,0:16:30.580

collected was in either Google Docs or


0:16:28.180,0:16:32.590

Google sheets which you know when you


0:16:30.580,0:16:35.260

download the whole content of the drive


0:16:32.590,0:16:37.710

it'll download shortcuts to these files


0:16:35.260,0:16:41.650

but the moment I shut down the account


0:16:37.710,0:16:44.890

everything was deleted oh and the moment


0:16:41.650,0:16:47.740

I realized that I went like oh fuck I


0:16:44.890,0:16:50.590

can't believe I like everything I worked


0:16:47.740,0:16:52.660

for I I still have the there the


0:16:50.590,0:16:55.000

published articles the final products


0:16:52.660,0:16:57.280

basically but all of the things I was


0:16:55.000,0:16:59.860

still working on all of the data I was


0:16:57.280,0:17:02.350

collecting all of the earlier versions I


0:16:59.860,0:17:05.110

also had kind of you know I wanted to


0:17:02.350,0:17:07.300

practice writing everyone always says


0:17:05.110,0:17:09.760

write every day even if it's nothing


0:17:07.300,0:17:12.970

important just practice writing so I had


0:17:09.760,0:17:15.610

this really long diary file kind of that


0:17:12.970,0:17:17.610

I just wrote about writing about you


0:17:15.610,0:17:21.760

know what I did that day and stuff and


0:17:17.610,0:17:23.199

everything was lost fuck yeah every time


0:17:21.760,0:17:25.780

I think about that I'd still kind of


0:17:23.199,0:17:26.970

heard something hurts inside yeah I can


0:17:25.780,0:17:29.380

imagine


0:17:26.970,0:17:32.800

that's pretty devastating horrible stuff


0:17:29.380,0:17:35.980

yeah all right my mind's still pretty


0:17:32.800,0:17:40.780

fresh so it's still observable yesterday


0:17:35.980,0:17:44.590

from but so I went to China in 2018 and


0:17:40.780,0:17:47.110

my first day there I was joining out


0:17:44.590,0:17:48.760

with a group but I wasn't joining up


0:17:47.110,0:17:51.640

with the group for another day so I got


0:17:48.760,0:17:52.830

there a day early and so I went to the


0:17:51.640,0:17:55.650

hotel and everything


0:17:52.830,0:17:57.990

and I thought up you know first day in


0:17:55.650,0:18:00.240

Beijing let's just go to the city first


0:17:57.990,0:18:02.550

night couldn't be that bad so I went to


0:18:00.240,0:18:04.320

the city it's pretty good like it was


0:18:02.550,0:18:06.510

pretty big and stuff and I was kind of


0:18:04.320,0:18:08.250

like trying to remember like the streets


0:18:06.510,0:18:10.260

I was going down like how to get her


0:18:08.250,0:18:13.350

home and stuff but anyway it's sort of


0:18:10.260,0:18:15.270

like relaxed a little bit sort of going


0:18:13.350,0:18:17.280

around the shops and then these two


0:18:15.270,0:18:20.220

there was sort of older there would have


0:18:17.280,0:18:21.270

been in like their 30s or probably late


0:18:20.220,0:18:23.690

30s or something


0:18:21.270,0:18:26.850

they were like graduate students and


0:18:23.690,0:18:29.520

they asked me if I was what they lost or


0:18:26.850,0:18:32.250

if you know because I'm I'm the only


0:18:29.520,0:18:33.410

white guy in Beijing at that point


0:18:32.250,0:18:37.110

basically


0:18:33.410,0:18:39.060

yeah I'm fine no uh how are you and like


0:18:37.110,0:18:41.400

cuz I spoke a little bit of Chinese at


0:18:39.060,0:18:45.360

that point I was I was sort of talking


0:18:41.400,0:18:48.090

to them and there are jory go like grab


0:18:45.360,0:18:49.950

a drink something I was like yeah why


0:18:48.090,0:18:52.680

not like you know not meeting up with


0:18:49.950,0:18:55.350

people for another day so as well just


0:18:52.680,0:18:59.510

you know relax and stuff so I went


0:18:55.350,0:19:04.470

upstairs into this tea house which is a


0:18:59.510,0:19:08.730

bad idea so it turns out these people


0:19:04.470,0:19:12.750

aren't friends it's an it's a scam it's


0:19:08.730,0:19:15.390

a scam and I knew just enough of Chinese


0:19:12.750,0:19:19.140

to realize I was getting into a scam


0:19:15.390,0:19:21.330

like maybe 30 minutes into it and I was


0:19:19.140,0:19:22.080

lucky because I didn't bring like all of


0:19:21.330,0:19:24.270

my wallet


0:19:22.080,0:19:26.250

I just brought like I I didn't


0:19:24.270,0:19:28.860

deliberately but I probably brought like


0:19:26.250,0:19:30.930

$40 or something like that and we had


0:19:28.860,0:19:33.000

probably had like a 2 or 3 cups of tea


0:19:30.930,0:19:35.780

or something like that and it was $40


0:19:33.000,0:19:39.150

and it was would have been way more


0:19:35.780,0:19:43.170

expensive but only because I had 40 oh


0:19:39.150,0:19:45.420

they are fine and it will did not go


0:19:43.170,0:19:48.300

well so and they were trying to get my


0:19:45.420,0:19:50.160

like hotel like thing and everything


0:19:48.300,0:19:53.850

like that I was just like I just gave my


0:19:50.160,0:19:56.310

good dress yep see up and I just went


0:19:53.850,0:20:02.460

straight back to my hotel lock the door


0:19:56.310,0:20:03.360

and I was a slight yep yep definitely


0:20:02.460,0:20:05.970

scary yeah


0:20:03.360,0:20:06.510

it like you could tell because most tea


0:20:05.970,0:20:09.390

shops


0:20:06.510,0:20:10.740

don't have door security like that's how


0:20:09.390,0:20:11.580

you know and most of them aren't


0:20:10.740,0:20:16.320

upstairs


0:20:11.580,0:20:18.420

in like a private room so yeah just if


0:20:16.320,0:20:20.940

you know just be careful if you if you


0:20:18.420,0:20:22.860

go to you know Beijing or something like


0:20:20.940,0:20:24.870

that and people ask you to get grab tea


0:20:22.860,0:20:27.000

it's it can sometimes not be a


0:20:24.870,0:20:32.790

completely altruistic offer that's a


0:20:27.000,0:20:35.010

hell of an adventure okay so what is


0:20:32.790,0:20:37.650

your 15 minutes of fame like from the oh


0:20:35.010,0:20:38.880

I fucked up to the 15 minutes of fame


0:20:37.650,0:20:41.040

hmm hmm


0:20:38.880,0:20:43.050

I have something like kind of relates


0:20:41.040,0:20:45.570

because it's something about the blog I


0:20:43.050,0:20:47.580

did when I did the blog I used to


0:20:45.570,0:20:49.560

publish all the articles on my website


0:20:47.580,0:20:53.160

now web said that I was running on


0:20:49.560,0:20:55.080

Squarespace I think and I also published


0:20:53.160,0:20:57.420

them on a website called medium.com


0:20:55.080,0:21:01.650

which you know everyone can write a blog


0:20:57.420,0:21:03.780

on and you can basically monetize it I


0:21:01.650,0:21:07.080

wasn't looking into making money out of


0:21:03.780,0:21:09.660

it but I thought of it as a way to kind


0:21:07.080,0:21:12.000

of help push out my articles to a new


0:21:09.660,0:21:15.540

crowd their new audience and it'll get


0:21:12.000,0:21:17.460

some more exposure so I used to get 20


0:21:15.540,0:21:19.860

to 30 reads on each article


0:21:17.460,0:21:20.940

I think either my fifth or sixth or


0:21:19.860,0:21:24.330

something like that


0:21:20.940,0:21:26.610

article I got an email that like one of


0:21:24.330,0:21:29.100

my articles is doing better than the


0:21:26.610,0:21:29.580

rest so it was an article about Carl


0:21:29.100,0:21:32.100

Linnaeus


0:21:29.580,0:21:33.900

he's a Swedish botanist and zoologist


0:21:32.100,0:21:36.660

and he basically started the whole


0:21:33.900,0:21:39.750

binomial nomenclature thing he's known


0:21:36.660,0:21:41.730

as the father of modern taxonomy so I


0:21:39.750,0:21:45.420

did an article about that and for some


0:21:41.730,0:21:47.580

reason it got around 80 reads I think so


0:21:45.420,0:21:49.890

the the medium the website sent me a


0:21:47.580,0:21:51.750

message saying this is getting some


0:21:49.890,0:21:55.140

attention and we'd like to put it on the


0:21:51.750,0:21:56.790

front page I said oh yeah go for it and


0:21:55.140,0:22:00.000

they you know they kind of tell you


0:21:56.790,0:22:01.830

we're gonna go over the article kind of


0:22:00.000,0:22:04.350

make sure that everything is credited


0:22:01.830,0:22:06.390

and it's gonna take a few days and then


0:22:04.350,0:22:08.910

we'll publish it I think it took like


0:22:06.390,0:22:15.360

two weeks but then they published it and


0:22:08.910,0:22:17.810

I think it got around 12,000 reads and I


0:22:15.360,0:22:19.760

got a lot of comments


0:22:17.810,0:22:21.620

like I said I stopped writing the blog


0:22:19.760,0:22:23.810

after a while but every once in a while


0:22:21.620,0:22:26.840

I go on my username on medium.com


0:22:23.810,0:22:29.900

I think I'm still getting like 300 views


0:22:26.840,0:22:30.800

a month or so which is pretty good I'm


0:22:29.900,0:22:33.470

really proud of that


0:22:30.800,0:22:35.300

yeah well that's awesome yeah well I


0:22:33.470,0:22:36.770

don't know if I really have a 15 minutes


0:22:35.300,0:22:41.510

of fame I'm trying to think of something


0:22:36.770,0:22:45.350

but I get more like little doses of 30


0:22:41.510,0:22:47.870

seconds I'll tell you I'll tell you why


0:22:45.350,0:22:52.730

I would actually pay for that you know


0:22:47.870,0:22:55.490

it sounds good well about five or six


0:22:52.730,0:22:59.510

years ago I used to ride like BMX bikes


0:22:55.490,0:23:01.910

and like skate parks and I was like one


0:22:59.510,0:23:03.830

of like the first people to kind of


0:23:01.910,0:23:04.310

learn how to like backflip over things


0:23:03.830,0:23:06.650

Wow


0:23:04.310,0:23:10.010

and I bought a bike actually at the


0:23:06.650,0:23:12.560

start of last year oh maybe halfway


0:23:10.010,0:23:14.900

through last year just just to get a bit


0:23:12.560,0:23:16.900

of exercise I don't write it too often


0:23:14.900,0:23:19.700

like once every month or two but


0:23:16.900,0:23:22.880

basically like every time I do a


0:23:19.700,0:23:25.310

backflip just people in like the


0:23:22.880,0:23:29.240

surrounding areas just like a look and


0:23:25.310,0:23:32.300

stare and this like what so yeah I get


0:23:29.240,0:23:34.760

like this weird 30 seconds of people


0:23:32.300,0:23:37.700

just like thinking on the absolute pro


0:23:34.760,0:23:42.440

but really I just used to ride a little


0:23:37.700,0:23:44.960

bit yeah there are people surprised


0:23:42.440,0:23:48.160

after they say you do those tricks and


0:23:44.960,0:23:50.780

then you tell them you're an accountant


0:23:48.160,0:23:51.080

yeah there is a juxtaposition isn't


0:23:50.780,0:23:54.710

there


0:23:51.080,0:23:57.410

I'm a pretty relaxed person as well like


0:23:54.710,0:24:00.170

most people sort of have a sort of like


0:23:57.410,0:24:02.510

tattoos or just like loud music or


0:24:00.170,0:24:04.250

something but oh you go down literally


0:24:02.510,0:24:07.940

just for the exercise like your cardio


0:24:04.250,0:24:09.740

so it's very weird to see someone who's


0:24:07.940,0:24:12.530

like just trying to work up a sweat and


0:24:09.740,0:24:17.450

then starts doing like backflips and


0:24:12.530,0:24:19.220

stuff so it yeah it is a bit weird very


0:24:17.450,0:24:20.690

oh what about you I guess I guess the


0:24:19.220,0:24:24.590

old thing that I'm good at is


0:24:20.690,0:24:26.360

programming so and podcasting don't get


0:24:24.590,0:24:29.150

yourself short you do you want to tell


0:24:26.360,0:24:30.850

the story of how we almost but not


0:24:29.150,0:24:35.560

really get close to being


0:24:30.850,0:24:37.450

TV this year well it's very close to a


0:24:35.560,0:24:41.200

minute of fame but you know it's more of


0:24:37.450,0:24:44.140

a zero minutes of fame yeah like I think


0:24:41.200,0:24:45.730

when 2020 started you kind of wanted to


0:24:44.140,0:24:49.740

make this kind of an adventurous year


0:24:45.730,0:24:52.290

right yeah I still AM that's why this


0:24:49.740,0:24:55.720

quarantine situation is very challenging


0:24:52.290,0:24:58.630

so I have an excuse but yeah you know


0:24:55.720,0:25:00.760

2020 started and wanted to have a couple


0:24:58.630,0:25:02.230

of adventures and like while I was


0:25:00.760,0:25:04.120

thinking it I was scrolling through


0:25:02.230,0:25:09.180

Facebook yeah it's very adventurous and


0:25:04.120,0:25:13.450

then I got this ad for you know casting


0:25:09.180,0:25:16.390

for casting extras Helland agency agency


0:25:13.450,0:25:18.520

for casting extras two TV shows and I


0:25:16.390,0:25:20.980

thought ah that could be interesting so


0:25:18.520,0:25:21.850

I actually messaged them because it's


0:25:20.980,0:25:24.850

very easy


0:25:21.850,0:25:28.500

I tested them like this really weird


0:25:24.850,0:25:31.000

message that I want to be an extra and I


0:25:28.500,0:25:32.800

guess I had to know why they didn't


0:25:31.000,0:25:35.770

answer probably because they thought I


0:25:32.800,0:25:39.160

was weird but they answered


0:25:35.770,0:25:41.980

send us your picture and age and I was


0:25:39.160,0:25:45.190

with the nun and a couple of other


0:25:41.980,0:25:48.610

friends so I thought I told him the


0:25:45.190,0:25:51.370

story and then we took a picture of me


0:25:48.610,0:25:54.070

nun and another guy and posted it back


0:25:51.370,0:25:58.210

and we said yeah we're you know we're 30


0:25:54.070,0:26:01.210

this is us we wish we sent them you know


0:25:58.210,0:26:03.330

both front and profile pics of us they


0:26:01.210,0:26:05.850

said we're looking we're looking to


0:26:03.330,0:26:10.060

we're looking to get to Hollywood


0:26:05.850,0:26:13.240

we're onboard then then they said okay


0:26:10.060,0:26:16.090

cold you got an audition in this day in


0:26:13.240,0:26:18.700

that hour in that place so I texted them


0:26:16.090,0:26:20.590

do we need to prepare the dialogues or


0:26:18.700,0:26:22.900

monologues and they said don't worry


0:26:20.590,0:26:26.170

we're gonna give you something there so


0:26:22.900,0:26:28.000

we've got really excited we actually in


0:26:26.170,0:26:29.800

action I actually bailed from a very


0:26:28.000,0:26:31.660

important meeting in order to go to that


0:26:29.800,0:26:34.690

audition and I told everyone


0:26:31.660,0:26:36.340

yeah I got some personal stuff and I was


0:26:34.690,0:26:39.190

thinking yeah this is my chance I'm


0:26:36.340,0:26:40.660

gonna make it big so I met him on yeah


0:26:39.190,0:26:42.190

and the other guy couldn't come yeah he


0:26:40.660,0:26:43.010

bailed because he has a kid or something


0:26:42.190,0:26:46.730

but


0:26:43.010,0:26:48.889

now we love we love that kid shaked when


0:26:46.730,0:26:51.740

you're hearing it when you're older only


0:26:48.889,0:26:54.980

thing good things about your uncle's so


0:26:51.740,0:26:58.010

we went there and it was a beautiful


0:26:54.980,0:27:01.460

office yeah beautiful like this really


0:26:58.010,0:27:04.340

chic office with everyone just looking


0:27:01.460,0:27:06.889

top-notch you know even the reception is


0:27:04.340,0:27:09.830

just you know everyone's a model and


0:27:06.889,0:27:13.130

meaning I get there with G listen and


0:27:09.830,0:27:15.080

just normal plain t-shirts and everyone


0:27:13.130,0:27:17.720

is there for their for the audition of


0:27:15.080,0:27:20.600

their lives and we're just like joking


0:27:17.720,0:27:23.299

around and and we're filling filling


0:27:20.600,0:27:26.110

details I know it and I just I just joke


0:27:23.299,0:27:28.610

around the entire forum like they say


0:27:26.110,0:27:31.490

why do you want to act and I was like


0:27:28.610,0:27:33.559

because I'm an adventurer or something


0:27:31.490,0:27:37.220

weird like that because I just thought


0:27:33.559,0:27:40.070

it was you know kind of we went as a


0:27:37.220,0:27:42.710

kind of half as a joke like if we did


0:27:40.070,0:27:44.779

get to go on TV we'd be happy to but we


0:27:42.710,0:27:49.100

didn't expect anything so we joked


0:27:44.779,0:27:51.919

around yeah I really wanted but they


0:27:49.100,0:27:54.880

they called us in they called one of us


0:27:51.919,0:27:58.159

in and then we asked can we go together


0:27:54.880,0:27:59.720

and the waiter said yeah sure and she


0:27:58.159,0:28:01.610

got us in and she started interviewing


0:27:59.720,0:28:04.789

us and then she started going over our


0:28:01.610,0:28:06.409

forms which can't turn to be a bit of


0:28:04.789,0:28:08.409

embarrassing because I answered all


0:28:06.409,0:28:10.909

probably probably all the wrong answers


0:28:08.409,0:28:13.639

but we kind of joked around and it was


0:28:10.909,0:28:16.399

and it was funny and then she gave each


0:28:13.639,0:28:18.110

of us a monologue to kind of go and


0:28:16.399,0:28:20.419

practice outside and then she's gonna


0:28:18.110,0:28:23.960

film us Wow and she said that we're a


0:28:20.419,0:28:26.389

precious commodity because because we're


0:28:23.960,0:28:28.190

older yeah they don't get people 30


0:28:26.389,0:28:31.480

years old everyone who goes to that


0:28:28.190,0:28:34.159

agency is around you know their 20s and


0:28:31.480,0:28:35.690

meaning nod we look like we made


0:28:34.159,0:28:38.120

something with our lives and we're


0:28:35.690,0:28:41.120

already seeing stuff and that's the kind


0:28:38.120,0:28:42.649

of actors they're looking for then they


0:28:41.120,0:28:45.409

need people to play the father figure


0:28:42.649,0:28:47.450

everywhere so exactly according to that


0:28:45.409,0:28:49.789

they gave us two different monologues


0:28:47.450,0:28:50.779

about father's talking doing monologues


0:28:49.789,0:28:53.600

about their kids


0:28:50.779,0:28:55.549

so yeah you were like in your monologue


0:28:53.600,0:28:56.570

you are talking to a kid right yeah I


0:28:55.549,0:28:59.570

think so


0:28:56.570,0:29:00.889

you did it so convincingly you felt like


0:28:59.570,0:29:02.690

a father-figure and we were practicing


0:29:00.889,0:29:04.669

outside I was actually trying to think


0:29:02.690,0:29:07.100

about about that friend's daughter and


0:29:04.669,0:29:10.610

imagine what what I would say to her as


0:29:07.100,0:29:14.120

an uncle flesh well probably but you


0:29:10.610,0:29:16.399

know it's a father figure and we went


0:29:14.120,0:29:18.799

and we prac and we practiced and we took


0:29:16.399,0:29:21.559

selfies and listened to other friends


0:29:18.799,0:29:23.539

and it was really fun experience and


0:29:21.559,0:29:26.990

then we got in and we did the monologues


0:29:23.539,0:29:29.870

and she she got really excited and then


0:29:26.990,0:29:32.509

she took us back both back in and she


0:29:29.870,0:29:35.179

said well you did a great job you know


0:29:32.509,0:29:38.809

you're you're great and you're good you


0:29:35.179,0:29:41.720

barrio you're a bit too theatrical but


0:29:38.809,0:29:44.360

you're also great and what what I want


0:29:41.720,0:29:46.340

to suggest to you is and we were like


0:29:44.360,0:29:49.610

okay we're gonna get we're gonna get it


0:29:46.340,0:29:51.970

we're gonna get that the DeRose hour 15


0:29:49.610,0:29:54.799

minutes of fame the role of a lifetime


0:29:51.970,0:29:58.250

what I'm going to suggest to you is you


0:29:54.799,0:30:01.009

pay $4,000 and we'll get you into acting


0:29:58.250,0:30:04.159

school that you meet every evening and


0:30:01.009,0:30:07.340

and we were like ah I can't believe it


0:30:04.159,0:30:10.340

all of this and it was a scam to just


0:30:07.340,0:30:13.250

you know get us really into it and then


0:30:10.340,0:30:14.629

get money for acting schools it's but it


0:30:13.250,0:30:16.669

was like this really you make it seem


0:30:14.629,0:30:20.330

like there's actually a chance yeah it


0:30:16.669,0:30:22.700

seemed like a very elaborate ad yep just


0:30:20.330,0:30:25.039

you know where we invest all the time


0:30:22.700,0:30:28.639

yeah it was very disappointing it was a


0:30:25.039,0:30:30.590

very fun day though and we said yeah


0:30:28.639,0:30:32.419

we'll think about it but you know if you


0:30:30.590,0:30:34.720

could get it for free no we can't get it


0:30:32.419,0:30:36.950

for free okay so we'll think about it


0:30:34.720,0:30:40.100

and the thing is that the kids they're


0:30:36.950,0:30:42.289

like over 18 19 20 year olds there came


0:30:40.100,0:30:43.820

dressed up for it for for the edition


0:30:42.289,0:30:46.190

and they really were into it and


0:30:43.820,0:30:48.470

everything that I can really see them


0:30:46.190,0:30:50.090

falling into the trap yeah I think I


0:30:48.470,0:30:51.860

also had a couple of thoughts you know


0:30:50.090,0:30:54.379

because you're already there you can't


0:30:51.860,0:30:56.509

experience it you're invested you know


0:30:54.379,0:30:57.950

you put the time and effort and then


0:30:56.509,0:31:00.769

they ask it and and they make you feel


0:30:57.950,0:31:02.360

like you just need to work on this and


0:31:00.769,0:31:04.190

that will get you a book we'll send it


0:31:02.360,0:31:04.789

to the relevant agencies and bam you're


0:31:04.190,0:31:07.279

in business


0:31:04.789,0:31:10.050

yeah but we're we're smarter than that


0:31:07.279,0:31:13.590

probably because of our all old age yeah


0:31:10.050,0:31:15.930

you know when I knew it was a fake is


0:31:13.590,0:31:18.660

even before she mentioned that we had to


0:31:15.930,0:31:23.370

pay for it it's when she said I was good


0:31:18.660,0:31:25.140

because boy oh boy I wasn't good the


0:31:23.370,0:31:28.620

moment I saw that camera I basically


0:31:25.140,0:31:30.870

froze and I read my monologue I think my


0:31:28.620,0:31:32.940

monologue was about like I'm an older


0:31:30.870,0:31:35.250

guy and I'm breaking up with this really


0:31:32.940,0:31:37.200

young girl or something and I started


0:31:35.250,0:31:39.990

reading it and all I can think of why


0:31:37.200,0:31:42.840

why why is he filming it and and I froze


0:31:39.990,0:31:46.020

and I read it just awfully so when she


0:31:42.840,0:31:47.670

said that I was good I was like I wasn't


0:31:46.020,0:31:51.930

good you don't know what you're talking


0:31:47.670,0:31:54.300

about what what's the deal here what's


0:31:51.930,0:31:58.260

your motive and you guys want to move on


0:31:54.300,0:32:01.650

to the next question yeah if you could


0:31:58.260,0:32:03.900

have one more season of any TV show


0:32:01.650,0:32:06.060

that's ended what would it be


0:32:03.900,0:32:08.520

you paused there so I thought you were


0:32:06.060,0:32:15.420

talking about another season that isn't


0:32:08.520,0:32:18.090

spring or summer or fall I think obvious


0:32:15.420,0:32:20.670

obvious sensor that the Firefly episode


0:32:18.090,0:32:23.520

we've done isn't out yet but the obvious


0:32:20.670,0:32:26.460

answer is Firefly I I got one there's a


0:32:23.520,0:32:29.490

in on Netflix there's a series called


0:32:26.460,0:32:31.950

happy there are two seasons the first


0:32:29.490,0:32:33.750

one is brilliant the second one is a bit


0:32:31.950,0:32:37.940

less by but I still enjoyed it


0:32:33.750,0:32:40.950

it's about this person who sees his


0:32:37.940,0:32:44.490

daughter's imaginary friend and it's


0:32:40.950,0:32:47.370

just one of I don't know it's a crazy


0:32:44.490,0:32:48.930

series I really enjoyed it I wish there


0:32:47.370,0:32:51.120

was another season but I think it got


0:32:48.930,0:32:53.430

cancelled mmm do you have anything Peter


0:32:51.120,0:32:55.440

oh I know I know what you want do you


0:32:53.430,0:32:57.090

want the green arrow one or what was it


0:32:55.440,0:33:02.630

that you told us about the Green Lantern


0:32:57.090,0:33:02.630

daredevil daredevil yeah was it it yeah


0:33:02.690,0:33:09.750

you're making me rethink it now oh maybe


0:33:06.420,0:33:11.370

it is daredevil well I'm gonna say the


0:33:09.750,0:33:12.990

one I was originally gonna say but I


0:33:11.370,0:33:16.800

would like another season a daredevil


0:33:12.990,0:33:18.450

the only reason I didn't really think of


0:33:16.800,0:33:23.070

it was because I kind of feel like it


0:33:18.450,0:33:25.200

might come battens it's not ended but


0:33:23.070,0:33:27.690

now the one I want is like probably


0:33:25.200,0:33:30.230

wouldn't even be in my top ten sort of


0:33:27.690,0:33:33.990

TV shows but I just really enjoyed


0:33:30.230,0:33:35.850

having it there to watch like it and at


0:33:33.990,0:33:38.790

one point came out every week on Netflix


0:33:35.850,0:33:40.800

so I just I just Chindia in every like


0:33:38.790,0:33:43.020

Thursday when it came out and you know


0:33:40.800,0:33:45.690

texted my friend who also watched it and


0:33:43.020,0:33:46.500

it's designated survivor have you guys


0:33:45.690,0:33:49.200

ever watched it


0:33:46.500,0:33:52.560

no I didn't know it's it's basically


0:33:49.200,0:33:55.040

like it's it's in the Oval Office so at


0:33:52.560,0:33:57.660

the White House and they just follow


0:33:55.040,0:33:59.790

president sort of doing his you know


0:33:57.660,0:34:02.520

daily thing but this guy turns out to be


0:33:59.790,0:34:05.910

like the anti Donald Trump he's so good


0:34:02.520,0:34:07.590

like in every aspect but yeah it was


0:34:05.910,0:34:10.590

just it was getting really interesting


0:34:07.590,0:34:12.510

but I think it's been cancelled for is


0:34:10.590,0:34:14.160

did three seasons I think it's just been


0:34:12.510,0:34:15.230

cancer but I would have really liked one


0:34:14.160,0:34:18.540

more one more


0:34:15.230,0:34:21.510

mm-hmm yeah it's really hard to say I


0:34:18.540,0:34:24.330

really loved my name's Erol from I think


0:34:21.510,0:34:26.310

it's early two-thousands I really loved


0:34:24.330,0:34:30.290

the first season and then the second


0:34:26.310,0:34:33.390

third and fourth weren't as good but I


0:34:30.290,0:34:37.679

like still would want to watch another


0:34:33.390,0:34:38.429

season of it if I could so um let me ask


0:34:37.679,0:34:40.740

you guys a question


0:34:38.429,0:34:43.050

what's your favorite subreddit to binge


0:34:40.740,0:34:45.590

read oh I love this question because I


0:34:43.050,0:34:49.110

really take pride in the subreddits I


0:34:45.590,0:34:51.000

subscribe to although I would say I also


0:34:49.110,0:34:53.400

subscribe to some garbage ones laughter


0:34:51.000,0:34:57.090

yeah you have to this and they're so


0:34:53.400,0:34:59.790

cringy but it's it's still still funny I


0:34:57.090,0:35:02.400

don't binge a lot in reddit I cannot


0:34:59.790,0:35:06.600

rely on the recommendation that it


0:35:02.400,0:35:09.300

pushes but if I do definitely a guilty


0:35:06.600,0:35:11.550

pleasure to do before I go to sleep is


0:35:09.300,0:35:16.050

just food porn oh really it's kind of


0:35:11.550,0:35:18.210

awful but I just I just you know scroll


0:35:16.050,0:35:21.480

and watch delicious things that people


0:35:18.210,0:35:25.800

make around the world and then I fall


0:35:21.480,0:35:30.910

asleep angry which is weird and I dream


0:35:25.800,0:35:34.310

about food and I wake up starving


0:35:30.910,0:35:36.530

and and I go and it's something that I


0:35:34.310,0:35:41.300

shouldn't eat because it's in the


0:35:36.530,0:35:42.830

refrigerator and welcome to my life


0:35:41.300,0:35:45.050

what about you bitter alright I've got a


0:35:42.830,0:35:47.390

list of them but I'll stand behind one


0:35:45.050,0:35:49.460

is the absolute best supper okay like


0:35:47.390,0:35:52.280

this is if you're gonna sub two one it's


0:35:49.460,0:35:53.869

gonna be this one and it's a slash well


0:35:52.280,0:35:56.330

that sucks oh yeah it's a good one that


0:35:53.869,0:35:59.030

is such a good one like if you just want


0:35:56.330,0:36:00.619

to feel better about yourself just go to


0:35:59.030,0:36:05.000

our slash well that sucks


0:36:00.619,0:36:06.859

and so liberating just to see like the


0:36:05.000,0:36:09.920

trauma that other people go through just


0:36:06.859,0:36:12.590

by like dropping like birthday cakes and


0:36:09.920,0:36:16.970

like getting like stuff on their white


0:36:12.590,0:36:20.510

clothes and stuff it's just so good for


0:36:16.970,0:36:23.600

me this is my reddit routine kind of I'm


0:36:20.510,0:36:25.220

going on reddit I do like a couple of


0:36:23.600,0:36:27.350

minutes on the front page and then I go


0:36:25.220,0:36:30.260

to the NFL subreddit to check out the


0:36:27.350,0:36:33.230

news and then I go to gaming subreddit


0:36:30.260,0:36:36.740

which I really enjoy you know for all


0:36:33.230,0:36:39.560

the means and stuff and then I usually


0:36:36.740,0:36:42.560

get stuck for I don't know an hour or so


0:36:39.560,0:36:45.590

and I really like to binge the mi the


0:36:42.560,0:36:49.550

asshole subreddit haha did you guys know


0:36:45.590,0:36:52.460

0:38:32.560,0:38:38.770

spend hours here what's the story about


0:38:35.650,0:38:41.050

the guy who adopted the kids that his


0:38:38.770,0:38:42.280

sister wanted to adopt a my they asshole


0:38:41.050,0:38:45.160

for adopting a kid my friend's sister


0:38:42.280,0:38:48.070

had planned to adopt it's a long story


0:38:45.160,0:38:52.600

I'm not gonna go over it but let's see


0:38:48.070,0:38:53.050

people are saying not the asshole okay I


0:38:52.600,0:38:55.540

got one


0:38:53.050,0:38:57.100

what's a fictional food or drink that


0:38:55.540,0:38:59.650

you wish you could have in real life oh


0:38:57.100,0:39:01.870

my god did you guys ever watch Dragon


0:38:59.650,0:39:04.300

Ball Z yeah no I've never seen it you


0:39:01.870,0:39:05.890

never saw okay well I guess I guess it's


0:39:04.300,0:39:10.150

something that's probably pretty common


0:39:05.890,0:39:13.690

in anime but like sometimes there's this


0:39:10.150,0:39:16.090

huge table filled with different types


0:39:13.690,0:39:18.160

of food and I guess most of them most of


0:39:16.090,0:39:20.530

it is is real food I I'm not sure if


0:39:18.160,0:39:23.260

it's made up but it's oh it always got


0:39:20.530,0:39:25.780

this flare you know when the camera is


0:39:23.260,0:39:27.910

kind of floating above it and then I


0:39:25.780,0:39:29.890

don't know every time I said I know it


0:39:27.910,0:39:33.100

doesn't it doesn't look like real food


0:39:29.890,0:39:36.610

right it's it's drawn but I'm drawn to


0:39:33.100,0:39:41.170

it it seemed I just I just want to sit


0:39:36.610,0:39:43.380

in it entire table of animal food I when


0:39:41.170,0:39:47.830

I grew up I used to read a lot of those


0:39:43.380,0:39:49.780

Asterix comics and in those comics you


0:39:47.830,0:39:52.780

know there are a bunch of Gallic people


0:39:49.780,0:39:55.000

I think and the whenever there is this


0:39:52.780,0:39:56.730

fancy dinner or something they're just


0:39:55.000,0:40:00.090

making a bunch of rows


0:39:56.730,0:40:02.910

bored and they make it look so tasty I


0:40:00.090,0:40:05.310

always dreamed of having one of those


0:40:02.910,0:40:07.860

man I'm starting to get hungry yeah


0:40:05.310,0:40:09.810

Peter you probably want something from


0:40:07.860,0:40:17.160

Harry Potter right there's so many so


0:40:09.810,0:40:20.520

many things there yeah I do it yeah also


0:40:17.160,0:40:22.830

do it I always like the Betty bop candy


0:40:20.520,0:40:25.980

or something jelly bean all flavors


0:40:22.830,0:40:28.440

thing yeah yeah which like that I think


0:40:25.980,0:40:30.150

the adventure of eating them is fun you


0:40:28.440,0:40:32.220

know not knowing what you get but oh you


0:40:30.150,0:40:34.950

know jelly beans aren't that great so


0:40:32.220,0:40:37.020

I'm not too much into them yeah a friend


0:40:34.950,0:40:39.920

actually went to the London Harry Potter


0:40:37.020,0:40:41.880

world and he had butter beer there and


0:40:39.920,0:40:44.550

apparently it's not very good oh really


0:40:41.880,0:40:46.620

but you can make your own I'm gonna make


0:40:44.550,0:40:48.780

my own I'm gonna make it great so here


0:40:46.620,0:40:52.050

I'm organizing a Harry Potter party once


0:40:48.780,0:40:53.820

I finish all the books and then we'll


0:40:52.050,0:40:57.390

watch all the movies over a long weekend


0:40:53.820,0:40:59.700

and do some like games and roleplay and


0:40:57.390,0:41:01.200

other stuff but I'm definitely gonna


0:40:59.700,0:41:03.360

make butter beer that's gonna be good


0:41:01.200,0:41:05.520

wow that's amazing there's a bunch of


0:41:03.360,0:41:07.410

different recipes I think for butter


0:41:05.520,0:41:09.570

beer I I want to check it out as well


0:41:07.410,0:41:11.910

like it sounds so fun I imagine it would


0:41:09.570,0:41:15.090

have I like butterscotch sort of taste


0:41:11.910,0:41:18.750

but also a so like alcoholic and a bit


0:41:15.090,0:41:21.060

foamy yeah you know they say it is the


0:41:18.750,0:41:23.850

small things in life that make it better


0:41:21.060,0:41:27.150

what is your small thing right now and a


0:41:23.850,0:41:33.210

lot of people replied my dick so don't


0:41:27.150,0:41:36.870

use it you know I'll start I recently


0:41:33.210,0:41:38.850

watched this video that says that you


0:41:36.870,0:41:41.790

know being happy is a state of mind well


0:41:38.850,0:41:44.250

that's not really groundbreaking but


0:41:41.790,0:41:46.290

what was interesting with that video is


0:41:44.250,0:41:49.290

that they said that you need to kind of


0:41:46.290,0:41:50.970

train your mind to be happy because at


0:41:49.290,0:41:53.220

the end like it's all about conditioning


0:41:50.970,0:41:56.210

right so they gave this kind of


0:41:53.220,0:41:59.100

challenge to try every once in a while


0:41:56.210,0:42:03.150

to think of five things today that


0:41:59.100,0:42:05.580

you're grateful for that you saw this


0:42:03.150,0:42:07.100

day or the last couple of days just you


0:42:05.580,0:42:10.260

know small things it doesn't have to be


0:42:07.100,0:42:13.320

something really really big and


0:42:10.260,0:42:15.990

I gotta say it works it just you know it


0:42:13.320,0:42:18.570

helps you focus on those small things


0:42:15.990,0:42:21.030

that that you're grateful for so I kind


0:42:18.570,0:42:23.760

of had this training so I actually


0:42:21.030,0:42:26.640

opened with myself a whatsapp group so I


0:42:23.760,0:42:30.180

can write those things down it's a very


0:42:26.640,0:42:32.220

active group yes and myself it's really


0:42:30.180,0:42:33.960

easy to just focus on the bad things in


0:42:32.220,0:42:35.940

life because I know maybe it's kind of


0:42:33.960,0:42:37.710

an adaptation you know you have to


0:42:35.940,0:42:39.870

always pay attention to all the things


0:42:37.710,0:42:42.600

that can hurt you or harm you or


0:42:39.870,0:42:44.130

whatever and just taking the time every


0:42:42.600,0:42:47.010

once in a while to kind of thinking to


0:42:44.130,0:42:49.080

yourself what what's actually good or


0:42:47.010,0:42:52.890

the fact that things aren't as bad as


0:42:49.080,0:42:55.980

they seem and you can actually practice


0:42:52.890,0:42:58.740

becoming happy and that builds up over


0:42:55.980,0:43:00.720

time and it's it's a good thing to do


0:42:58.740,0:43:03.960

what about you Peter I've got three


0:43:00.720,0:43:07.470

things first thing is I've got this beer


0:43:03.960,0:43:10.110

glass which is kind of small it's


0:43:07.470,0:43:13.010

probably only 200 mil mm-hmm but it's


0:43:10.110,0:43:17.520

just got such a it looks like an


0:43:13.010,0:43:19.530

old-fashioned Irish pub glass so it's it


0:43:17.520,0:43:22.260

looks like a classic sort of Stein like


0:43:19.530,0:43:24.180

it's got a handle and it sort of it is


0:43:22.260,0:43:26.520

round but it sort of got like an


0:43:24.180,0:43:29.760

indentation at the bottom and it's got


0:43:26.520,0:43:32.160

these big sort of like fake bottom you


0:43:29.760,0:43:34.590

know yeah you can put your finger like


0:43:32.160,0:43:36.150

at the bottom into it and it's kind of


0:43:34.590,0:43:39.030

just reminds me of like a really


0:43:36.150,0:43:40.020

old-fashioned pub and it's my favourite


0:43:39.030,0:43:42.570

glass to drink out of


0:43:40.020,0:43:43.770

I think people under 8 good glass yeah


0:43:42.570,0:43:45.810

that's beautiful


0:43:43.770,0:43:49.770

so the picture I sent a nice light


0:43:45.810,0:43:54.930

cinematic one anyway say that was number


0:43:49.770,0:43:57.000

one number two would be definitely not


0:43:54.930,0:44:00.780

sponsored but it would be audible like


0:43:57.000,0:44:03.990

just having books read to you is so nice


0:44:00.780,0:44:06.870

mm-hmm so I know for the Harry Potter


0:44:03.990,0:44:10.170

series I I've got it on my Kindle and


0:44:06.870,0:44:11.910

I've got it on audible so I just get a


0:44:10.170,0:44:14.370

Bluetooth speaker or like bluetooth


0:44:11.910,0:44:17.490

headphones or something like that and I


0:44:14.370,0:44:20.790

just read along whilst Stephen Fry reads


0:44:17.490,0:44:22.950

it to me and it's so relaxing it's so


0:44:20.790,0:44:23.940

nice audiobooks are very popular these


0:44:22.950,0:44:26.160

days


0:44:23.940,0:44:29.070

and I think that not enough people know


0:44:26.160,0:44:32.070

how fun it is to read the book as you're


0:44:29.070,0:44:34.410

listening to it it's it's so fun it's


0:44:32.070,0:44:37.230

just so engrossing you know you there's


0:44:34.410,0:44:40.350

suddenly no distractions and you can


0:44:37.230,0:44:42.870

just really get into it I love it yeah


0:44:40.350,0:44:45.750

it sets like a good pace as well yeah


0:44:42.870,0:44:48.540

it's never too fast so it's like not


0:44:45.750,0:44:50.520

rushing it makes you one appreciate it


0:44:48.540,0:44:54.720

more but it also allows you to like read


0:44:50.520,0:44:57.300

for longer so I find like if I'm reading


0:44:54.720,0:44:59.940

it without any audio I feel like five


0:44:57.300,0:45:02.760

chapters and I'm done but if I'm reading


0:44:59.940,0:45:05.340

it we've the audio as well suddenly like


0:45:02.760,0:45:07.350

I'm reading for ten chapters it's a


0:45:05.340,0:45:10.590

little what do you now read without


0:45:07.350,0:45:16.160

audio do you hear Stephen Fry's voice in


0:45:10.590,0:45:20.310

your head I do yeah it's not a bad thing


0:45:16.160,0:45:23.550

my number three is definitely if you can


0:45:20.310,0:45:25.380

get a cat cats are great I would just


0:45:23.550,0:45:28.890

hate to be in this quarantine without a


0:45:25.380,0:45:30.120

cat and by often she sort of just gets


0:45:28.890,0:45:33.030

on my desk while I'm trying to work


0:45:30.120,0:45:35.070

which is fine but so like you take a bit


0:45:33.030,0:45:36.750

of a productivity hit but it's


0:45:35.070,0:45:38.510

definitely worth it because then you can


0:45:36.750,0:45:42.000

just take five minutes out to sort of


0:45:38.510,0:45:44.460

converse with the cat you know and just


0:45:42.000,0:45:46.650

having another life-form like in the


0:45:44.460,0:45:48.900

house which isn't another human is just


0:45:46.650,0:45:51.360

so nice hmm I think that when we were


0:45:48.900,0:45:53.550

kids my mom didn't want us to get a cat


0:45:51.360,0:45:55.740

so she told us that we were allergic so


0:45:53.550,0:45:58.320

throughout my life I thought I was


0:45:55.740,0:46:00.060

allergic to cats and like when I was 15


0:45:58.320,0:46:01.710

or 16 I noticed that I'm sitting next to


0:46:00.060,0:46:03.510

Kenton and there's nothing nothing


0:46:01.710,0:46:07.890

happening so I I just figured it out


0:46:03.510,0:46:09.810

like maybe my mom lied to me but still


0:46:07.890,0:46:13.140

like my entire life I tried to keep away


0:46:09.810,0:46:15.150

from cats and it's just so engrained in


0:46:13.140,0:46:18.360

me now I'm kind of afraid of cats yeah I


0:46:15.150,0:46:21.240

think I'm definitely missing a pet in


0:46:18.360,0:46:24.120

this quarantine like I go for walks


0:46:21.240,0:46:26.310

every once in a while and I went with


0:46:24.120,0:46:28.590

that with a friend the other day and and


0:46:26.310,0:46:30.720

the and suddenly he stopped and said


0:46:28.590,0:46:33.600

dude you gotta you gotta get a dog you


0:46:30.720,0:46:36.870

keep smiling and stranger dogs that pass


0:46:33.600,0:46:37.680

by then suddenly I notice it every dog


0:46:36.870,0:46:40.620

that


0:46:37.680,0:46:42.300

Macross I was like hi buddy cool um


0:46:40.620,0:46:46.800

Peter do you wanna give us a question


0:46:42.300,0:46:49.320

sure what are your pet peeves I got an


0:46:46.800,0:46:52.800

answer I just can't stand people who


0:46:49.320,0:46:56.100

just throw cigarette butts on the street


0:46:52.800,0:46:57.780

like people who smoke in the street will


0:46:56.100,0:47:00.480

they're probably smoking a lot so they


0:46:57.780,0:47:03.540

probably do it pretty frequently and


0:47:00.480,0:47:05.340

there's just no excuse to do it I mean


0:47:03.540,0:47:08.700

here in the city there are trash cans


0:47:05.340,0:47:11.280

everywhere you literally need to go ten


0:47:08.700,0:47:15.360

steps to get to one and just throw it


0:47:11.280,0:47:18.180

there it's complete lack of caring about


0:47:15.360,0:47:20.250

your immediate surrounding and kind of


0:47:18.180,0:47:22.410

like thinking night it's not my problem


0:47:20.250,0:47:25.380

someone someone else will deal with it


0:47:22.410,0:47:28.470

III get the feeling that these are the


0:47:25.380,0:47:32.520

same people who stand still and talk on


0:47:28.470,0:47:35.700

the phone at the entrance or the exit of


0:47:32.520,0:47:38.310

an escalator and you like get the fuck


0:47:35.700,0:47:40.320

out of the way just move aside and keep


0:47:38.310,0:47:42.840

talking you don't have to stand still


0:47:40.320,0:47:45.840

there where everyone's trying to pass


0:47:42.840,0:47:48.660

through it's like something that you can


0:47:45.840,0:47:51.480

forgive if it's if the kid is doing it


0:47:48.660,0:47:54.330

or maybe maybe a teenager but there's a


0:47:51.480,0:47:55.710

grown-ass adult man just look around and


0:47:54.330,0:47:56.370

understand you're not alone you know I


0:47:55.710,0:47:58.530

totally agree


0:47:56.370,0:48:02.580

did you have one he's gonna sound really


0:47:58.530,0:48:04.710

whiny but I really hate when people like


0:48:02.580,0:48:07.680

it can be like podcasters or news


0:48:04.710,0:48:09.780

presenters or it's usually podcasters so


0:48:07.680,0:48:12.240

this is happening a lot during


0:48:09.780,0:48:14.670

quarantine but because they usually have


0:48:12.240,0:48:17.220

a studio they're recording but now


0:48:14.670,0:48:21.840

they're recording remote they sometimes


0:48:17.220,0:48:24.210

they say sorry guys I'm recording a home


0:48:21.840,0:48:26.550

so I'm recording just in two-bike my


0:48:24.210,0:48:30.090

laptop mic and it just sounds like


0:48:26.550,0:48:33.710

absolute trash and I feel really bad


0:48:30.090,0:48:36.300

saying it because I remember in the


0:48:33.710,0:48:38.070

classical music episode my microphone


0:48:36.300,0:48:40.830

sounds really bad because of my audacity


0:48:38.070,0:48:45.030

settings but these people are making


0:48:40.830,0:48:46.950

like massive production sort of podcasts


0:48:45.030,0:48:48.930

in a podcast network and they're


0:48:46.950,0:48:51.300

recording off a little laptop and I know


0:48:48.930,0:48:55.020

because my the microphone that I've


0:48:51.300,0:48:58.310

got to record this podcast is 97


0:48:55.020,0:49:02.400

Australian dollars which is like $70


0:48:58.310,0:49:05.700

American and it's just like oh my god


0:49:02.400,0:49:08.700

like audio is like everything to me so


0:49:05.700,0:49:10.140

when like podcasters just think like oh


0:49:08.700,0:49:12.480

hey guys


0:49:10.140,0:49:14.430

you know just bear with me and it's like


0:49:12.480,0:49:14.760

the worst thing ever I just can't stand


0:49:14.430,0:49:17.340

it


0:49:14.760,0:49:19.650

yeah don't agree like either take a mic


0:49:17.340,0:49:22.410

with you we're just going Amazon and


0:49:19.650,0:49:25.320

order $100 mic yeah less than that 5000


0:49:22.410,0:49:28.410

am I even a $25 mic and it'll just sound


0:49:25.320,0:49:30.870

like leagues better than your laptop and


0:49:28.410,0:49:33.330

it's just so annoying because these


0:49:30.870,0:49:36.210

podcasts sometimes most of the time


0:49:33.330,0:49:38.520

edited by people but not them it's like


0:49:36.210,0:49:40.620

it would have cost them a few thousand


0:49:38.520,0:49:42.990

dollars to produce the podcast but


0:49:40.620,0:49:44.880

they're recording into a laptop it's


0:49:42.990,0:49:46.680

just so annoying so annoying


0:49:44.880,0:49:51.660

yeah don't they agree this is also


0:49:46.680,0:49:55.680

related to people that go on zoom calls


0:49:51.660,0:49:58.050

but they don't connect like a headphone


0:49:55.680,0:50:00.210

thing so they they get their audio


0:49:58.050,0:50:02.220

straight from the computer which like


0:50:00.210,0:50:03.960

echoes back to everyone else everyone


0:50:02.220,0:50:05.880

else can hear their voice from their


0:50:03.960,0:50:07.710

laptop that's the worse the worse as


0:50:05.880,0:50:09.720

well yeah that's horrible


0:50:07.710,0:50:11.700

well I got I got a good one what is a


0:50:09.720,0:50:15.030

disturbing thing you wish you didn't


0:50:11.700,0:50:17.400

know Wow okay think about that but if


0:50:15.030,0:50:20.610

you want to start go for it well there's


0:50:17.400,0:50:22.650

a specific condition I don't remember


0:50:20.610,0:50:24.240

its name and I don't want to google it


0:50:22.650,0:50:28.020

because I really really don't want to


0:50:24.240,0:50:30.870

see it but when the embryo develops


0:50:28.020,0:50:35.480

something gets kind of messed up and it


0:50:30.870,0:50:41.250

becomes this ball of hair and teeth and


0:50:35.480,0:50:44.970

that's horrified yeah yeah like it's not


0:50:41.250,0:50:46.560

really a living thing but just imagine I


0:50:44.970,0:50:49.370

don't know I I don't I don't want to


0:50:46.560,0:50:51.840

keep talking about it it's just horrible


0:50:49.370,0:50:54.480

mm-hmm trying to think one but again I


0:50:51.840,0:50:57.090

suppress all these things what are the


0:50:54.480,0:50:59.940

people saying well I'll give you the


0:50:57.090,0:51:03.990

short versions of it but like there's


0:50:59.940,0:51:04.980

one about anesthesia that doesn't always


0:51:03.990,0:51:06.660

work and


0:51:04.980,0:51:10.410

you just get paralyzed but you're still


0:51:06.660,0:51:13.140

fully aware and that's game yeah well I


0:51:10.410,0:51:17.400

mean I haven't had a meaning but that's


0:51:13.140,0:51:20.010

yeah well there's one about lightning


0:51:17.400,0:51:29.849

McQueen's first name is Montgomery I


0:51:20.010,0:51:32.640

don't know who Lightning McQueen is okay


0:51:29.849,0:51:36.240

I've got one now in the morning doctors


0:51:32.640,0:51:39.240

away less likely to make errors then in


0:51:36.240,0:51:43.020

the afternoon so basically let me get


0:51:39.240,0:51:47.280

the stat up it's it's from Daniel Pink's


0:51:43.020,0:51:50.040

book called when the scientific secrets


0:51:47.280,0:51:52.260

of perfect timing basically he was


0:51:50.040,0:51:54.540

saying like if you go in for it like a


0:51:52.260,0:51:56.880

surgery or something like that let's say


0:51:54.540,0:52:00.030

you go into the afternoon there's such a


0:51:56.880,0:52:03.690

bigger risk of dying on the table


0:52:00.030,0:52:05.550

because of fatigue and like everything


0:52:03.690,0:52:07.589

goes down at hand-washing rates and


0:52:05.550,0:52:10.170

everything goes down in the afternoon so


0:52:07.589,0:52:13.020

he just said like as much as it's like


0:52:10.170,0:52:15.540

it is just a statistic I would never go


0:52:13.020,0:52:17.430

in the afternoon and so yeah after


0:52:15.540,0:52:18.180

learning about that that kind of freaked


0:52:17.430,0:52:20.609

me out


0:52:18.180,0:52:22.470

it's like kind of reminds me of you know


0:52:20.609,0:52:24.869

after a daylight saving time after they


0:52:22.470,0:52:26.730

move the clock the the incidence of


0:52:24.869,0:52:29.490

heart attacks strokes and fatal car


0:52:26.730,0:52:32.250

accidents all spike for a couple of days


0:52:29.490,0:52:34.890

because everyone's a bit tired from from


0:52:32.250,0:52:36.690

losing one hour of sleep yeah yeah he


0:52:34.890,0:52:37.950

also goes over that as well that's crazy


0:52:36.690,0:52:39.750

that's crazy


0:52:37.950,0:52:42.270

it seems so harmless but it's it's


0:52:39.750,0:52:45.359

actually evident that it kills people


0:52:42.270,0:52:48.390

ajit medical study center found that


0:52:45.359,0:52:50.550

mistakes made by anesthesiologist that


0:52:48.390,0:52:52.800

caused harm to patients increased later


0:52:50.550,0:52:55.500

in the day the predicted probability of


0:52:52.800,0:52:59.430

harm is three times higher for cases


0:52:55.500,0:53:01.310

that start at 3:00 p.m. which is 1% then


0:52:59.430,0:53:04.109

for those starting at 8:00 a.m. which is


0:53:01.310,0:53:07.200

0.3% hmm which is totally understandable


0:53:04.109,0:53:10.440

like there are people it's just it's


0:53:07.200,0:53:12.329

frightening it's disturbing well there


0:53:10.440,0:53:15.480

are a couple of interesting things in


0:53:12.329,0:53:18.420

that thread like spiders could eat all


0:53:15.480,0:53:22.300

humans in one year if they work together


0:53:18.420,0:53:24.490

yeah yeah that cockroaches eat eyelashes


0:53:22.300,0:53:32.350

and dust mites live inside of every


0:53:24.490,0:53:35.470

pillow that you own I have another


0:53:32.350,0:53:38.260

question if you guys could go on a


0:53:35.470,0:53:40.750

vacation anywhere right now where would


0:53:38.260,0:53:44.170

you go and what would you do mmm I would


0:53:40.750,0:53:48.850

go to young schwa in China it's sort of


0:53:44.170,0:53:51.250

like a small village town in China very


0:53:48.850,0:53:54.520

relaxed they have about a hundred bubble


0:53:51.250,0:53:58.750

tea places only about 200 shops it's


0:53:54.520,0:54:00.640

roughly 50% of shops of bubble teas they


0:53:58.750,0:54:02.350

do have an apple store actually built


0:54:00.640,0:54:05.230

like three hours four hours isolated


0:54:02.350,0:54:08.170

from anywhere else but they have an


0:54:05.230,0:54:10.990

apple store of course and then they have


0:54:08.170,0:54:12.790

a couple hotels but it's just a very


0:54:10.990,0:54:15.850

nice place to be at night because


0:54:12.790,0:54:18.820

there's this like the lighting is sort


0:54:15.850,0:54:22.869

of just like from all the signs on the


0:54:18.820,0:54:25.720

street and it's very small and it's a


0:54:22.869,0:54:27.190

very nice place to be at night so and


0:54:25.720,0:54:29.200

also during the day you can go for a


0:54:27.190,0:54:32.560

walk and basically cover the whole city


0:54:29.200,0:54:34.270

in an hour so it's it's a really nice


0:54:32.560,0:54:36.790

kind of error that's where I'd go


0:54:34.270,0:54:39.250

cool cool never heard of it I just gave


0:54:36.790,0:54:42.880

you a picture of young Shore on this


0:54:39.250,0:54:45.940

looks look at those mountains there so


0:54:42.880,0:54:47.320

yeah this is amazing


0:54:45.940,0:54:50.790

what about you boy I would go to


0:54:47.320,0:54:50.790

Australia to grab a drink with Peter


0:54:52.200,0:54:59.080

I'll meet you in yangshuo okay that's a


0:54:56.080,0:55:00.880

good compromise no but really very well


0:54:59.080,0:55:02.440

if you could go anywhere right now well


0:55:00.880,0:55:04.600

I can give another another one but


0:55:02.440,0:55:07.869

that's a valid choice I think yeah it is


0:55:04.600,0:55:11.560

yeah we just went a group of 10 friends


0:55:07.869,0:55:14.740

to Greece couple of years back and just


0:55:11.560,0:55:17.770

chilled for for about a week and it was


0:55:14.740,0:55:21.010

just so much fun you know just traveling


0:55:17.770,0:55:23.290

a bit drinking a lot hanging I would


0:55:21.010,0:55:26.500

just definitely wanted it again maybe


0:55:23.290,0:55:30.940

not sure if Greece but definitely some


0:55:26.500,0:55:31.660

someplace nice with the beach yeah I the


0:55:30.940,0:55:33.940

play something


0:55:31.660,0:55:36.339

is a place you and I have been in


0:55:33.940,0:55:38.319

together barrio I'm thinking about Isla


0:55:36.339,0:55:41.019

Mujeres in Mexico yeah I wouldn't mind


0:55:38.319,0:55:42.489

going to something that's like that


0:55:41.019,0:55:44.650

and not that specifically because we've


0:55:42.489,0:55:47.259

been there already but like I'm thinking


0:55:44.650,0:55:49.239

of I don't know I Nylund in the


0:55:47.259,0:55:52.660

Caribbean in Mexico or somewhere like


0:55:49.239,0:55:55.720

that I could just spend the days hanging


0:55:52.660,0:55:57.670

out we wake up in the morning go scuba


0:55:55.720,0:56:00.190

diving in the Caribbean you know which


0:55:57.670,0:56:01.989

is supposed to be amazing there spend


0:56:00.190,0:56:04.539

the whole day on a hammock on the beach


0:56:01.989,0:56:07.749

reading books and stuff there's great


0:56:04.539,0:56:10.779

food there and basically the vacation


0:56:07.749,0:56:13.359

I'm thinking about I know I this is what


0:56:10.779,0:56:14.859

I want I want to have all the free time


0:56:13.359,0:56:16.839

in the world so that like I said I could


0:56:14.859,0:56:19.089

spend all the day on the beach and then


0:56:16.839,0:56:21.400

in the evenings just you know watch


0:56:19.089,0:56:23.499

movies listen to albums read books


0:56:21.400,0:56:26.739

basically the stuff we're doing for this


0:56:23.499,0:56:28.630

podcast like my perfect education I'd


0:56:26.739,0:56:30.849

still record an episode every couple of


0:56:28.630,0:56:32.440

weeks with you guys hope if there are no


0:56:30.849,0:56:34.690

more handshakes what would possibly


0:56:32.440,0:56:36.940

replace it I'm actually a big fan of


0:56:34.690,0:56:40.509

handshakes because in high school we


0:56:36.940,0:56:44.499

sort of had like a lad Z group and we


0:56:40.509,0:56:47.440

just even in like grade 10 we settled


0:56:44.499,0:56:50.200

into doing handshakes like just proper


0:56:47.440,0:56:51.279

handshakes very early on so I don't know


0:56:50.200,0:56:53.400

I've sort of got used to it


0:56:51.279,0:56:55.869

and we sort of do it semi sarcastically


0:56:53.400,0:56:58.539

so every time I do a handshake with


0:56:55.869,0:57:02.589

someone like I'm doing it sarcastically


0:56:58.539,0:57:05.410

say it's like I feel a little bit like


0:57:02.589,0:57:08.319

an imposter so but I kind of like it


0:57:05.410,0:57:11.799

it's like I do like them so it's a shame


0:57:08.319,0:57:14.049

to have to give it up but if I have to


0:57:11.799,0:57:17.289

give it up I would say it would have to


0:57:14.049,0:57:20.680

be about like a long bow like three


0:57:17.289,0:57:23.019

seconds huh I would really love it if


0:57:20.680,0:57:25.869

instead of handshakes like everyone


0:57:23.019,0:57:32.700

would do not sarcastically but you know


0:57:25.869,0:57:36.249

the finger guns and then wink like first


0:57:32.700,0:57:37.809

response or maybe the top one in that


0:57:36.249,0:57:42.670

thread finger guns


0:57:37.809,0:57:45.590

oh listen it'll start sarcastically but


0:57:42.670,0:57:48.080

after a while people will get used to it


0:57:45.590,0:57:51.890

and we'll just do it seriously it'll


0:57:48.080,0:57:53.750

become the thing that's true what do you


0:57:51.890,0:57:56.990

think boy you want to do that Irish


0:57:53.750,0:57:58.900

Riverdance with kicking and this is too


0:57:56.990,0:58:04.220

much time I think it needs to be like


0:57:58.900,0:58:06.440

shorten and precise yeah so what I


0:58:04.220,0:58:09.800

wonder about that question is if it's


0:58:06.440,0:58:11.870

like with no contact at all or just not


0:58:09.800,0:58:13.790

a handshake I think it's gonna be nary


0:58:11.870,0:58:15.980

contact I'm sorry well I think you could


0:58:13.790,0:58:19.460

like do a foot shake or something but


0:58:15.980,0:58:23.600

couldn't be touching our hands touching


0:58:19.460,0:58:25.430

faces by the way reply number two is Tom


0:58:23.600,0:58:27.230

kiss imagine tongue kissing your boss


0:58:25.430,0:58:29.240

your colleagues your dad even when you


0:58:27.230,0:58:32.060

get to meet your president then everyone


0:58:29.240,0:58:35.210

is replying stop why oh god why did I


0:58:32.060,0:58:37.250

have to read this instead of junkies


0:58:35.210,0:58:39.860

like eskimo kisses these are cute


0:58:37.250,0:58:45.710

although you wouldn't want to get so


0:58:39.860,0:58:46.790

close to I think like like handshake is


0:58:45.710,0:58:48.680

kind of cool


0:58:46.790,0:58:51.170

instead of a handshake yeah like like


0:58:48.680,0:58:54.560

you know you just bump your your feet


0:58:51.170,0:58:56.450

and and just you know like one time from


0:58:54.560,0:58:57.770

the loop from the left and one time from


0:58:56.450,0:59:00.860

the right and that's it that's like


0:58:57.770,0:59:02.990

that's a cool shake like feet bump fist


0:59:00.860,0:59:05.420

bumps instead of fist bumps yeah oh


0:59:02.990,0:59:08.150

here's some someone actually call it it


0:59:05.420,0:59:10.100

they call it foot taps foot taps yeah I


0:59:08.150,0:59:13.130

can I can see the world getting used to


0:59:10.100,0:59:16.130

that that kind of makes sense okay so I


0:59:13.130,0:59:19.790

have another suggestion imagine that


0:59:16.130,0:59:22.580

every person get to do his own kind of


0:59:19.790,0:59:24.350

sign and and that's kind of like how you


0:59:22.580,0:59:26.240

greet someone else and they have to


0:59:24.350,0:59:29.030

accept it and an answer and answer it


0:59:26.240,0:59:31.130

with their own sign and you get like


0:59:29.030,0:59:34.280

something that is your own and kind of


0:59:31.130,0:59:37.490

and it's yours but what you do need to


0:59:34.280,0:59:39.920

do is somehow synth that you're going to


0:59:37.490,0:59:42.890

do that sign otherwise it's it's gonna


0:59:39.920,0:59:44.450

be a bit weird yeah I really like that


0:59:42.890,0:59:49.400

idea but I don't know I'll end up with


0:59:44.450,0:59:51.650

the finger guns and I like that so okay


0:59:49.400,0:59:53.780

so maybe the signal to do it is to bump


0:59:51.650,0:59:55.970

your feet like you you bump your feet


0:59:53.780,0:59:58.970

and then you do the your sign so like


0:59:55.970,0:59:59.569

puck and then with the guns maybe you


0:59:58.970,1:00:00.920

don't need a


0:59:59.569,1:00:03.410

though because like you don't need a


1:00:00.920,1:00:05.239

sign to handshake you know like it's


1:00:03.410,1:00:07.309

just something we get used to and we do


1:00:05.239,1:00:09.170

without really thinking you know maybe


1:00:07.309,1:00:12.559

when you see something you'll just hey


1:00:09.170,1:00:15.529

Hari and that's it yeah well lately I've


1:00:12.559,1:00:17.390

actually been doing an ironic peace


1:00:15.529,1:00:19.759

signs oh really yeah


1:00:17.390,1:00:22.910

when I ride like my electric skateboard


1:00:19.759,1:00:25.430

so you kind of zoom past people so it's


1:00:22.910,1:00:28.190

no time to do about like a lot of the


1:00:25.430,1:00:31.069

time I just do like a peace sign because


1:00:28.190,1:00:34.190

it feels very skater like like that's


1:00:31.069,1:00:37.309

what a skater would do so I like that


1:00:34.190,1:00:39.499

they feel kind of not to it it's it's


1:00:37.309,1:00:41.180

very easy yeah yeah it's very it's very


1:00:39.499,1:00:43.699

good oh man G try it


1:00:41.180,1:00:45.529

hmm like it makes you feel very ringo


1:00:43.699,1:00:50.719

starr as well which is always an


1:00:45.529,1:00:52.339

advantage oh cool so this has been fun
