00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
Hello. I paged Dr. Beat due to an emergency.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,280
But stuff still happened.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,320
So what's up?

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,720
A near record-breaking data breach.

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,440
We didn't quite break the record, but we got close.

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,480
I know you're all really hoping for an even bigger data breach,

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,720
but only 2.9 billion people just had their data leaked,

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,280
which is just shy of Yahoo's 3 billion person data leak in 2013.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,200
A company called National Public Data,

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,160
which is actually called Jericho Pictures Inc,

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,640
has a business of background checks.

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,160
How do they do these background checks?

13
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,240
Well, they scrape your information from anywhere that they can find,

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,000
despite you giving them permission.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,280
Then they save it.

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Then they sell it as a background check product.

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,920
Like specifically, they're pulling data from anywhere they can,

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,760
including private spaces where you didn't, you know, give permission.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,040
What kind of data you ask?

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,240
Oh, I'm thankful.

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,320
Thank you. Thank you for that layup.

22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Names, social security numbers, addresses, the whole shebang.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,800
It's kind of all of it.

24
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,400
It's like a cornucopia of personally identifiable information.

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,440
Real quick, I feel like I glossed over it just a bit.

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:08,800
What?

27
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,840
Like, I want to be clear.

28
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,760
This is not a unique business model.

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,960
This is not the only company that does this by any means.

30
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,800
But they do do this.

31
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,640
And a hacker group hacked them and then posted their stuff on the Internet for,

32
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,600
oh, like three and a half million dollars.

33
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,080
We could just pool our money together and buy it if you want.

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,040
Y'all down for that?

35
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,520
I would love to just have 2.9 billion social security numbers just on hand, just for funsies.

36
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,120
I could probably guess a few of them.

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,000
Anyway, they're being sued by a guy whose data was among the 2.9 billion people.

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,320
He was alerted by a data monitoring service and he was like, why?

39
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:42,960
What?

40
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:47,280
So he's suing them for money and he's also suing them so that they stop doing this.

41
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,440
Or at the very least, stop storing unencrypted personal information in sort of one big dump.

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,320
Like, what?

43
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,840
Hey, guys, great business idea.

44
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,600
We're going to scrape a bunch of data off the Internet that no one asked us to do.

45
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160
And then we're going to store it just kind of in one spot.

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,880
Encryption?

47
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Never heard of it.

48
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,240
Anyway, there's nothing that anybody could have really done to prevent getting owned by this leak.

49
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,160
There do exist services out there that can like scrub your data from data brokers and whatnot.

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,440
They're not a silver bullet.

51
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,320
They can help.

52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,080
But the actual solution is to have a robust set of legislation to prevent this.

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:31,120
Or said another way, to come down so hard it would be unimaginable to recover when something like this happens.

54
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Like, it's truly wild to me.

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,960
I know I am an Internet boy, right?

56
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,520
I get it.

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,480
I know how much of this stuff is just happening constantly.

58
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,520
And also, it still blows my mind.

59
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Anyway, I guess delete your Internet service provider and computer.

60
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,640
I have a confession.

61
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,080
I have worked for multiple tech companies that are based in San Francisco.

62
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,600
I've always been a remote employee.

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,720
But most notably, I have to check every time that I try to spell San Francisco.

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,920
It's the S's and the C's.

65
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,120
They just fuck me right up.

66
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,080
But I might not have to care for much longer because a bunch of companies have been moving out of San Francisco.

67
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Like, for a long time they've been doing this.

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:12,960
Most recently, Elon Musk was like, hey, we're going to close down the San Francisco office of Twitter and move to San Jose.

69
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,640
Which is like an hour away.

70
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,160
Real huge moves happening.

71
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,840
And like he has his own motivations.

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Those motivations are mostly he hates the libs.

73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,680
But there's been a lot of other companies that have been trying to pull out of San Francisco.

74
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720
And it's kind of annoying why.

75
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,680
I want to be super clear.

76
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,760
San Francisco is a rad city.

77
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,360
I've been there a bunch of times.

78
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,440
There's wonderful people, amazing art, excellent culture and just a lot of natural beauty.

79
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000
There's also, there's like sea lions.

80
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,880
Are they sea lions?

81
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,160
They're like sea lions.

82
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,960
And they're pretty fun.

83
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:49,760
But also, San Francisco very famously catered to a bunch of tech bros a little too hard and kind of tanked their entire housing.

84
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Like housing situation.

85
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,480
And they just kind of kept catering.

86
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,120
And there was so much money coming in that they're like, this is fine.

87
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,600
This is fine.

88
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,160
This is fine.

89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,160
OK, maybe we should actually tax them and legislate just a little bit.

90
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,800
And then very suddenly, all of the tech companies were like, what?

91
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,400
No.

92
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Quite literally, one of the reasons that tech companies are like beefing with San Francisco is there's now rules around having gourmet tier cafeterias built into your office space that your workers never leave the office and never patron the surrounding businesses.

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,160
You know, that thing that society does.

94
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Let's have a whole bunch of rich people come into the city and stay in the office for 12 hours and then leave and never do anything else as opposed to like having a functional society where people like walk around and do things.

95
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,040
Now, you might be thinking, well, that's their right.

96
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,400
You know, that's the tech company.

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,040
They've got the money.

98
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,480
They want to treat their employees well.

99
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,920
It's all about trying to bring people in.

100
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,960
It's actually just about keeping people in the office.

101
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:55,600
It is not rare for a tech company to serve really amazing spreads for breakfast, lunch and dinner, provided that you are in the office for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,840
The number of people that I've had to explain that to is off the charts.

103
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:04,080
Like, I've been in a cafeteria with a co-worker and they've been like, can you believe this?

104
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:04,880
This is amazing.

105
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:12,320
And I'm like, I mean, yeah, I can definitely believe it because breakfast is served at like six and then dinner is served at like six.

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,440
That's a 12 hour day.

107
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,480
They're keeping you here for.

108
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,760
I've never seen someone's brain break so thoroughly.

109
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Anyway, there's been a long history of companies moving either just outside city limits or just kind of to another surrounding place around San Francisco because San Francisco has already kind of run the course of good faith to all these tech companies.

110
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,360
And as much as a lot of these tech oligarchs will be like, oh, no, we love regulation.

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,960
We want to have responsible development.

112
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:37,440
They don't.

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,360
They don't want regulation.

114
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,080
They want to be in the room where regulations are being made so that they can make them work for them.

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Anyway, if you want cheap office space, I know a place.

116
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,120
This episode of Stuff Keeps Happening is sponsored by me.

117
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Hello, it's me Endeavorance.

118
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,160
Now is a great time to check out my merch store.

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:04,560
Head to merchfrom.dev and check out a bunch of new designs that just dropped last month as well as a bunch of new items that you could get right now.

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,760
My personal favorite is the new Stuff Still Happened tee.

121
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:14,320
It's got like text art of me holding my microphone and the text is all of my different openers from Stuff Keeps Happening.

122
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,280
And then at the bottom it says, but Stuff Still Happened.

123
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:18,560
It's a fun one.

124
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Sharing this show, checking out my merch store and subscribing to my Patreon are three of the best possible ways to support the work that I am doing.

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,320
So thank you very, very much.

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,200
Let's move on.

127
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,280
Can we go back, actually?

128
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,400
Can we just talk more about the merch store?

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,040
No?

130
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,680
All right.

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,000
All right.

132
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200
MrBeast, you know where I'm going.

133
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,320
You probably already know this.

134
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,200
Let's talk about it.

135
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:48,640
If you are somehow not aware of the insane controversy that's currently surrounding MrBeast, it's a doozy.

136
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,000
And if you're somehow not aware of who MrBeast is, you live a blessed life.

137
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,440
Now, look, I'm not going to lie.

138
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:01,040
I've enjoyed some of this guy's videos in the past, but it's gotten increasingly obvious how gross it's getting.

139
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:08,000
MrBeast is the most subscribed person on YouTube, and he's been fighting for that spot back and forth for a while, but he's got it right now.

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:18,720
And his whole thing is these really big challenges that people are pitting against each other in ridiculous games that ultimately result in someone getting paid.

141
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Essentially game shows.

142
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,680
That's kind of it.

143
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,160
But they're also laden with a whole bunch of subscribe now and you'll enter a raffle to be in one of our videos.

144
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Or buy this specific shirt from our merch store and you'll have a chance at meeting me.

145
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:40,720
And while doing all of this, very notably, his primary audience is literal children, like pre-teen.

146
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,440
So he's already been out here getting some flack for like, hey, why are you doing lotteries to children?

147
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,040
Like, that's not I.

148
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,480
And then over the past couple of weeks, things have just gotten way worse.

149
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:57,680
It started with allegations of child grooming coming out about Ava, a longtime member of the MrBeast, like, core group,

150
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:04,560
who was seemingly grooming children, having inappropriate conversations and discords, seemingly with MrBeast knowing.

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:13,520
But that kind of quickly took a backseat after a bunch of videos have come out from former MrBeast employees saying like, hey, this dude's a literal psychopath.

152
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,040
They go over the absurd working conditions that they've been put in.

153
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560
They go over the rigged challenges that are actually being faked.

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,480
They go over the non-rigged challenges that weren't faked, but put people through absolute hell.

155
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:34,640
And then a lot of this is now coalescing around hundreds of accounts of horrendous conditions in a recent 2,000-person episode they were doing

156
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,640
that was the start of a new Amazon TV series they're working on.

157
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,920
The idea was that there was going to be 2,000 people all competing in this massive event.

158
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,320
And the first episode would be 2,000 people with 1,000 people being eliminated,

159
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,440
and those remaining 1,000 would go on to do the Amazon show,

160
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,360
while that episode would be uploaded to MrBeast's YouTube channel as like, promotion.

161
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,600
But, whoa, it was awful.

162
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,440
People were reporting that they weren't being fed, they weren't given new clothing,

163
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,360
people were having seizures on the field.

164
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,680
Eventually people realized that during the games,

165
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:10,320
bigger people could just beat the shit out of smaller people and not get in trouble.

166
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,760
People were talking about not being fed for 20-plus hours.

167
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,720
There's broken bones, people going to the hospital.

168
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,280
So what do I have to say about why this happened?

169
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Well, a spokesperson said, quote,

170
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,840
The video was unfortunately complicated by the CrowdStrike incident,

171
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,800
extreme weather, and other unexpected logistical and communication issues.

172
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,040
I feel like if you're doing a thing with 2,000 human beings,

173
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,760
you should have a handle on your logistics.

174
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,680
I feel like if you're doing a thing with 2,000 human beings,

175
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:46,720
with millions of dollars of prize money in play and backing from Amazon,

176
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,080
you should probably have a handle on your logistics.

177
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Somehow I don't think CrowdStrike is the reason that large men

178
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240
were beating the shit out of small women and elderly people.

179
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,760
But maybe I just don't understand technology all that well after all.

180
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,040
This is all still kind of ongoing, there's more stuff coming out,

181
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,640
seemingly every day, and it's basically a reckoning for the old beastie.

182
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,440
Well, see where it lands?

183
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,440
Yikes-a-roanin'.

184
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,600
That's where I would describe it in summation.

185
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,200
Yikes-a-roanin'.

186
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,920
Lightning round.

187
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Disney announced a whole bunch of new sequels,

188
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920
because everything's a sequel now,

189
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,480
but they're gonna make Incredibles 3, Toy Story 5, and a bunch of other ones.

190
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,280
I got some giggles because they announced the next Avatar movie,

191
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,880
not Airbender, not that one, the other one, the blue one,

192
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
and it's gonna be called Fire and Ash,

193
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,800
just to make it even more confusing as to which Avatar we're talking about.

194
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,760
A woman at Chicago's O'Hare airport was found dead

195
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,560
and tangled up in the baggage claim conveyor belt thing.

196
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,080
There are ongoing investigations,

197
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
it appears as though she may have wandered into a restricted area.

198
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Don't mess with that stuff, y'all.

199
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,240
That viral image of the Turkish sharpshooter at the Olympics,

200
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,960
who's just like hand in pocket holding out his gun,

201
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,960
it's even more badass because now he's got a quote saying,

202
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,760
storms were raging inside me when that photo was taken.

203
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,640
A Russian chess player may be facing a lifetime ban

204
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,160
after being caught spraying a mercury-based poison

205
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,400
on her opponent's board before a match.

206
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,760
We got a new bank seat.

207
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,120
It's a goat.

208
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,840
Right before the closing ceremonies for the Paris Olympics,

209
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,760
a dude tried to climb the Eiffel Tower.

210
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,720
It sparked like an evacuation in the immediate area

211
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,800
and a delay of ongoing events.

212
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,400
He's flying.

213
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,040
They got him.

214
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,200
I don't know how far up he got, but well done, guy.

215
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,000
A house exploded in Maryland, killing one person and injuring several others,

216
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,840
damaging nearby houses.

217
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Investigations are ongoing into what happened.

218
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,680
If you have gas lines, please make sure they're inspected

219
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,840
and handled properly.

220
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,600
That's like my biggest fear.

221
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,320
And finally for today, Jack Black has confirmed that Tenacious D will return

222
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,680
after they broke up seemingly temporarily

223
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,560
after Kyle Gass made a joke about Trump's assassination

224
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:03,440
because we love the D and so does Jack Black.

225
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,160
Thank you so much for listening to today's episode of Stuff Keeps Happening.

226
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Head to skh.news for sources, bonus content,

227
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,440
and my application for being the new band member of Tenacious D.

228
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,800
My name is Endeavourance.

229
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,160
I'll be back on Monday.

230
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,560
Take care and be well.

231
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,080
Hello there, listener.

232
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,080
This is Endeavourance with my post-episode talk.

233
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,400
I should just like make this a part of the, whatever.

234
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,400
You're, it's a secret.

235
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,880
We're here together and no one else knows that we're here.

236
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Shh, keep it quiet.

237
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,080
Don't keep it quiet.

238
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Thank you so much for listening to the show

or sharing this with your friends.

241
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,600
The other thing I wanted to mention is that if you were not aware,

242
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,440
I am currently building a brand new tabletop role-playing game called Presenium.

243
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,960
You can learn all about it at presenium.game.

244
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,720
I am working to make something that's going to help people tell fun stories

245
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,880
with their friends in an approachable and easy to learn way.

246
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,280
This is an ongoing project and I would love your support.

247
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,320
So consider checking out presenium.game

248
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,120
and if you're interested, consider supporting the project.

249
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,640
There will be a link in the show notes.

250
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Thank you.

251
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,120
Take care.

252
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:40,160
Talk to you soon.
