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

0:36:49.550,0:36:54.500
basically people tell stories about the
0:36:52.460,0:36:56.720
stuff that happened to them they saying
0:36:54.500,0:36:59.510

be a judgment call like you're the

0:37:43.360,0:37:49.150

0:38:29.410,0:38:35.650
some of them much less so and I can
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
