WEBVTT

00:00:01.690 --> 00:00:04.650
Roads? Where we're going, we won't need roads.

00:00:05.690 --> 00:00:10.150
I am the law. I say we take off and nuke the

00:00:10.150 --> 00:00:13.410
entire site from orbit. It's the only way to

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:34.560
be sure. Hello. Hi. And welcome to the Untitled

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.579
Sci -Fi Show with me, Tom, and him, Rob. Hi,

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:41.880
wife. You're listening now. Can you hear us?

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:45.659
She's over there scoffing food, getting pestered

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:48.079
by the dogs. Not my wife. That's Rob's wife.

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:52.219
I'm Tom. You're Rob. Oh, no. So you're wife.

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.060
Oh, you're just getting it far too confusing

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:57.679
for me. How are you doing, Tom? Yeah, I'm good.

00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:00.549
I've got a very angry chipmunk at home. Because

00:01:00.549 --> 00:01:03.850
of me? Yeah, because of you. All because of you.

00:01:04.810 --> 00:01:08.299
Washing up simulator, really? I don't remember

00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:09.840
what we were talking about. Oh, yes, because

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.780
she couldn't guess all of the guess the intros

00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:14.700
from last week. Yes, so you told her to go back

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:16.939
and start playing her game of washing up simulator.

00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:19.439
No, no, no, it's not what I said. I said, would

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.519
you like me to make it easier for you by doing

00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.239
things you might like, like My Little Pony or

00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.599
washing up simulator? That's what I said. You

00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:34.060
got her very angry. Oh, well, that's a shame.

00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:42.629
Enter authorization code. Okay, guess the intro.

00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:45.530
Very special guess the intro, wasn't it? What

00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:48.329
would you do if I said no? To what? Guessing

00:01:48.329 --> 00:01:51.390
the intro. Well, it wouldn't be much of a show,

00:01:51.609 --> 00:01:53.409
would it? Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying,

00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:56.329
I could actually just say no at this point. Why?

00:01:56.569 --> 00:01:57.650
Is it because you don't want to get it wrong?

00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:00.930
And then she'd be angry at you too. No, I'm just

00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:02.569
being honest. I think I've got it right. Because

00:02:02.569 --> 00:02:04.709
then she'd be like, you don't know me at all.

00:02:05.049 --> 00:02:06.890
No, there's three films. That was my impression

00:02:06.890 --> 00:02:09.009
of Jem, by the way. Did you tell me, or am I

00:02:09.009 --> 00:02:11.310
just making this up? Did you tell me last episode

00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:15.889
that you'd asked for sci -fi films that myself

00:02:15.889 --> 00:02:18.909
and Jem had watched together? No, no. I just

00:02:18.909 --> 00:02:21.330
said that she would know. Just ones that she

00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:24.900
would know. Oh, right. Okay. So she's given me

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:27.099
six and Miranda gave me six, but I only used

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:28.919
three and three of each because then I can do

00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:30.819
another one with another three and three. Oh,

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:32.759
bugger. Okay, so that could be a problem then.

00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:36.020
I may have got two of them wrong. Yeah, so it's

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:37.500
three and three. Each one's on three. There's

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:39.280
a big, massive clue for you, but I'm pretty sure

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.900
I did tell you that already. Yeah, no, no. For

00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:42.120
some reason, I got it in my head that it was

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:43.520
something that me and her had watched together,

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.740
but I've got a feeling that might mean me saying,

00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:48.539
oh, I think I'll find this easy because she doesn't

00:02:48.539 --> 00:02:51.759
normally watch sci -fi. So, oh, well, we'll see

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.080
if I fuck it up. Well, would you like the first

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.199
one? No. So how should we do it? Should we guess

00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.099
it and then guess whether it's Gem or Miranda?

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.379
Yeah, we'll guess the film and then I'll say

00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:02.060
Gem or Miranda and you can say yes or no. Or

00:03:02.060 --> 00:03:04.439
TV show. Didn't say it was just films. No, I

00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.400
know there's TV shows in there as well. Well,

00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:09.319
one. I haven't tested the volumes. It'll be fun.

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.639
Oh dear. Got a batch of personals. Dispatching

00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.530
them to your laptops now. That is The Martian.

00:03:16.569 --> 00:03:18.909
Just as they've discovered that their friend

00:03:18.909 --> 00:03:21.310
is still alive and they're deciding to go against

00:03:21.310 --> 00:03:23.509
NASA and turn their ship around. That's right.

00:03:23.629 --> 00:03:26.030
Now, who was it? That was Jem. That was Jem.

00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:27.930
Because it's one of our favourite sci -fi films.

00:03:28.009 --> 00:03:29.990
It was. Well done. I made her watch it and she

00:03:29.990 --> 00:03:32.129
really enjoyed it. It's a good one. It is a very

00:03:32.129 --> 00:03:34.689
good one. The book's better. You've said that.

00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:36.729
I've got it on order but I haven't listened yet.

00:03:36.949 --> 00:03:41.530
It's phenomenal. Ready? Yep. And if helium falls...

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.479
So does Barsoom. So that's John Carter. It is.

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.400
I'm surprised you got that one. Because you both

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.159
clearly stated that you really like John Carter.

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.039
Yeah, there's John Carter talking about Barsoom,

00:03:57.099 --> 00:03:59.560
which is the planet that he's on. Yeah, I tried

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.599
watching it a few weeks ago, funnily enough,

00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.979
and turned it off. I don't like it. I don't know

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:07.120
why. A lot of people don't like it, but I don't

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.030
understand why they don't like it. Genuinely,

00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:12.370
I don't know why it just didn't resonate with

00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:17.089
me and I cannot put a reason to it. Next one.

00:04:18.589 --> 00:04:21.649
You walked right past it. Like it was nobody.

00:04:22.649 --> 00:04:25.269
And this is Robert's favourite film, World War

00:04:25.269 --> 00:04:28.790
Z. Zed gem, not Z, Zed. I got it right. Even

00:04:28.790 --> 00:04:31.250
though Rob would say World War Z in this case.

00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:32.990
Yeah, because of the Americanism of the title

00:04:32.990 --> 00:04:35.189
itself. So I'll put that down as Miranda. Correct.

00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:39.379
It was Miranda. And what a great film. tried

00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:42.379
to it's really difficult to actually pick a bit

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:45.899
in that that isn't obvious firstly and secondly

00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:47.860
that hasn't got loads of music behind it it's

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:50.000
really different some like whenever i do these

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.980
it's really difficult to get the audio clean

00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:54.819
so that does kind of force me but yeah you're

00:04:54.819 --> 00:04:56.819
right again three out of three so far here comes

00:04:56.819 --> 00:05:01.620
the fourth one there's a reason you hide from

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:04.740
them now this is the kate bush running up the

00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:07.500
hill moment or stranger things and the weird

00:05:08.449 --> 00:05:11.949
muscular looking vechna there you go uh is chatting

00:05:11.949 --> 00:05:15.189
to ginger is it by any chance ginger spice or

00:05:15.189 --> 00:05:17.430
or that's that ginger spice that her name is

00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:21.029
max max okay yeah well the ginger one now this

00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:22.430
is the one that i may have got wrong because

00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:24.550
i know jem knows stranger things and we've watched

00:05:24.550 --> 00:05:26.310
stranger things but i also know that you two

00:05:26.310 --> 00:05:30.069
are waiting for season five but genuinely the

00:05:30.069 --> 00:05:31.850
next one i don't know if jem would have watched

00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:33.889
or paid attention to so i'm going to say this

00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:36.319
with jem Well, you're correct on Stranger Things.

00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.100
Damn it. And I chose that purposely with that

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.560
music thinking it would help you a bit because

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.060
I didn't think you'd guess Beckner's voice on

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:43.779
your side. I didn't think you'd have any chance

00:05:43.779 --> 00:05:45.620
because you've never seen that character. But

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:48.579
there's been so many clips of it. That was Miranda.

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.199
Shit. So, okay. I would never have thought Jen

00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.199
would have seen the next film then or would have

00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.680
chosen the next film. Next one. Does my line

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.060
of work make you uncomfortable, precious? The

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:02.819
butterfly effect. That is the butterfly effect.

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.009
Again, I'm not surprised you got that one. Well

00:06:05.009 --> 00:06:09.470
done. Yeah. What can I say? I cheat sometimes.

00:06:11.129 --> 00:06:14.709
I do very often when I can't work it out, I'll

00:06:14.709 --> 00:06:16.389
take the couple of words that you put in there

00:06:16.389 --> 00:06:18.209
and see what Google throws back at me. I don't

00:06:18.209 --> 00:06:20.990
mind. I think this is actually a pretty difficult

00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:23.790
game. Sometimes I can spend a good couple of

00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:25.709
hours researching the quotes because obviously

00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:27.910
when you put a quote in and you say quote, you

00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:30.250
then end up with, oh, well, the Dalai Lama once

00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:32.449
said this. It's like, no, he really did not say

00:06:32.449 --> 00:06:35.370
anything about death falling from Satan's arsehole.

00:06:35.449 --> 00:06:38.529
So why have you given me this? Using AI is cheating

00:06:38.529 --> 00:06:41.009
at this. Yeah, I won't use AI. Having Google

00:06:41.009 --> 00:06:42.350
to help you every now and again, I think it's

00:06:42.350 --> 00:06:46.209
fine. But yeah, if you put it into bloody Gemini

00:06:46.209 --> 00:06:47.990
or whatever other things, then that is cheating.

00:06:48.269 --> 00:06:50.009
Out of all of these, the butterfly effect is

00:06:50.009 --> 00:06:52.389
the only one I didn't know. Yeah. Okay, so who

00:06:52.389 --> 00:06:55.069
do you think chose the butterfly effect? Well,

00:06:55.089 --> 00:06:56.889
I'm going to put Gem down for that one. Gem chose

00:06:56.889 --> 00:06:58.329
the butterfly. Is that the one that you thought

00:06:58.329 --> 00:07:00.750
was Miranda? Yeah, because you told me the last

00:07:00.750 --> 00:07:03.730
one was wrong. Yeah, I put that down as Miranda

00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:05.790
because I didn't know Gem had seen this one.

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:11.120
Next. After nine years, you know what I realise?

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.199
Ignorance is bliss. And there's a delicious steak

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.939
Cypher's eating right there. For the original

00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:22.480
Matrix, and that's Jem. Yeah, I really love that

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.319
scene, you know. It's a really cool scene. It's

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.019
a great scene, and it's brilliantly acted. It's

00:07:26.019 --> 00:07:29.259
the Judas moment, isn't it? Really good. Yeah,

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.319
Jem couldn't remember, and she couldn't identify

00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.930
the film she'd even chosen. Yeah. I gave her

00:07:35.930 --> 00:07:38.050
a heavy hint on the Matrix by saying, oh, I'm

00:07:38.050 --> 00:07:39.970
enjoying eating this steak right now. And that

00:07:39.970 --> 00:07:41.910
was how she got the Matrix. She didn't get the

00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:44.490
others. So Miranda didn't get the butterfly effect.

00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:48.490
And she didn't get, I think she didn't get the

00:07:48.490 --> 00:07:51.149
Martian. She got all hers and the Matrix, so

00:07:51.149 --> 00:07:55.250
she missed two. Okay, so special fun for you.

00:07:55.290 --> 00:07:57.370
I've been cheeky while you've been away in San

00:07:57.370 --> 00:08:00.269
Fran. Oh, cheeky, cheeky. So everyone else would

00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:04.730
have heard a version of the intro already. You

00:08:04.730 --> 00:08:06.829
haven't. The version you're going to hear is

00:08:06.829 --> 00:08:08.310
slightly different because I actually need your

00:08:08.310 --> 00:08:13.110
help editing it. So, Mini Monk has done a special

00:08:13.110 --> 00:08:16.250
guest the intro. Oh, has she? And she has read

00:08:16.250 --> 00:08:20.709
six quotes for me. I did not tell her how to

00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:24.550
read them. I gave her no context other than these

00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:27.689
are the words that you must say. I told Gem what

00:08:27.689 --> 00:08:30.310
films they were from and I specifically said

00:08:30.310 --> 00:08:34.639
you cannot tell Mini Monk. like what the film

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.179
is or listen to it beforehand so you are now

00:08:38.179 --> 00:08:41.679
going to hear the non -mini monk voiceified version

00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.500
of it so you're going to actually hear her normal

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:46.519
voice right she has requested that i mini monk

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.279
fight because apparently she doesn't want to

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.340
be seen as uncool because apparently she was

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:53.620
very happy to join in and was very excited to

00:08:53.620 --> 00:08:55.759
join in but it's uncool you and me aren't cool

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.710
yeah no six seven uh so Oh, you're a gangster

00:08:59.710 --> 00:09:02.909
now, aren't you? Blah, blah. Blah, blah. So when

00:09:02.909 --> 00:09:05.450
this is done, I need you to tell me how to mini

00:09:05.450 --> 00:09:07.830
-monkify her voice. So we're now going to hear

00:09:07.830 --> 00:09:09.889
this, and then in the edit, they're actually

00:09:09.889 --> 00:09:11.750
just going to hear the mini -monk. I'm not guessing

00:09:11.750 --> 00:09:14.669
now, though, am I? No, no. You can if you like.

00:09:14.990 --> 00:09:17.210
No. I just want you to hear it because it's fun.

00:09:17.350 --> 00:09:22.950
Okay. So ready? Yeah. Rose, where we're going,

00:09:22.950 --> 00:09:28.850
we won't use Rose. I am the law. We take off

00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:32.309
and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the

00:09:32.309 --> 00:09:35.990
only way to beat them, sure. Come on, you apes.

00:09:36.009 --> 00:09:39.190
You want a little brother? Be excellent to each

00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:42.850
other and party on, dudes. By Grandad Hammer,

00:09:43.070 --> 00:09:46.669
by the sons of Warband, you shall be avenged.

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:48.940
No, I reckon you're going to get every single

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:50.200
one pretty easily. I've got all of those except

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.120
for the Nuke for Morbid. I know what film that

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.019
is and I genuinely can't think of what it is

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:55.139
off the top of my head. Yeah, well, you better

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:57.539
think about it for a while. Anyway, we just heard

00:09:57.539 --> 00:10:00.279
the unedited version of it. Yeah. I need you

00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.779
to tell me how to Minimunkify it. Very, very

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:04.399
simple. I thought it was, but I just want to

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.360
make sure I get it right. Yeah. And then that's

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.919
what everyone else will hear when they would

00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.960
have played it. Nice. Thank you, everybody. Oh,

00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.919
and nobody got them all right. Oh. So just you

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.750
and me in the winner's lounge again. my own again.

00:10:17.389 --> 00:10:24.250
Sorry, everyone. Okay, mister, what have you

00:10:24.250 --> 00:10:26.809
been up to? Oh, I went to San Francisco. Oh,

00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:29.610
yeah, you did, yeah. I got done up the bum because

00:10:29.610 --> 00:10:33.169
it's very expensive there. So expensive. Robot

00:10:33.169 --> 00:10:35.720
cars. oh yeah we've got to go to a robot car

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.440
that had no driver and everyone i've shown that

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.580
video to went no thanks and what the hell i'm

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:42.720
scared was i think ganon's uh words was it what

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.580
they call wemos waymo waymos there's two out

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:47.220
there at the moment there's waymo and there's

00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:51.179
zooks and zooks is just about to pass so at the

00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:52.879
moment it's still got someone that sits behind

00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.500
the wheel but they don't do anything okay so

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:57.700
you get in this self -driving car and there's

00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.320
just this bloke sat there looking at you he was

00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.340
like hi was he just on like his iphone or something

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:04.879
that's That's more worrying because it's like

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.860
they don't trust their car. Well, they're not

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:08.820
allowed to. That's the point. Until they've got

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:10.799
their license, they've got to do it like that.

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.940
Oh, it's so clever. So clever. Any hairy moments?

00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.840
I don't know if I sent the video. We got to a

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.940
green light and the car kind of cut across and

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:22.879
ours just went, yeah, okay, I'll let you go.

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.460
And then it just stayed, sat still. And it's

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:28.460
like, the road's clear. And then on the screen,

00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.179
it came up with waiting for junction to clear.

00:11:31.239 --> 00:11:34.019
junction's clear car you can go and it was really

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:35.299
uncomfortable because there were cars behind

00:11:35.299 --> 00:11:37.379
us we're waiting for them to start hooting their

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:39.879
horns and it's just like come on and then just

00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.440
suddenly it went and off we went i mean what

00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.860
what would hooting your horn at a An automatic

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:48.620
car do? Or is it going to come up with a red

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:51.639
screen and go, bastard, bastard. Reverses into

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.279
them at speed. Hey, there's no driver. It's not

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.000
going to hurt me. A democratic flamethrower would

00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.220
appear from the top and turn around. Say what?

00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:04.519
It was a very odd sensation. They were Jags.

00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:09.519
They're all Jaguar. And they're so very clever.

00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:13.039
So, I mean, to geek out a little bit. tesla for

00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.059
their self -driving uses natural vision in effect

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:18.740
so lots of cameras and it's looking at real -time

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:20.600
images yeah it doesn't have those other cases

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:25.360
whereas waymo has lidar on the roof on every

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.139
corner it has true vision cameras so it's looking

00:12:29.139 --> 00:12:32.080
at the real things as well it's got food it's

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.559
got so many sensors but the really cool thing

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.919
is as you're driving along you've got this screen

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.320
in the middle And it's showing you everything

00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.720
it's picking up around it. Now, if you look at

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.139
that on the Tesla, it's just kind of clip art

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.259
of things. So we think there's a lorry, so that's

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:48.039
what we're going to draw there. We think there's

00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:49.460
a cyclist, so that's what we're going to draw

00:12:49.460 --> 00:12:54.320
there. The LiDAR literally gives you these wireframes,

00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:57.039
and they're exactly what it's seeing. So when

00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.059
the bus went past, you can tell it's the bus

00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:02.080
that's going past. It's really detailed. Apparently

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.659
that... maybe it was Elon Musk himself or whatever,

00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:09.899
they took LiDAR out of the Teslas because they

00:13:09.899 --> 00:13:11.659
were like, oh, no, our AI is so good, we don't

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:14.480
need the LiDAR. When every single other company

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.080
is using it because it's far superior. It is.

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:20.000
It's just it makes the car uglier because it

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.379
needs more. Exactly. If you're in the market

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:26.279
to buy a self -driving car, I don't think you're

00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.940
going to have a choice about whether it looks

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.820
cool or not. Yeah, you'd be paying by the mile.

00:13:29.820 --> 00:13:32.879
But, oh, my God, it's amazing. It was weird as

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.700
hell. but very, very clever. And then you've

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:38.080
got the app, and as you walk up to the car, you

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.019
press a button and it unlocks the doors. When

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:41.840
you get in, you can control the air conditioning

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.940
from the app. You can control the radio station

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:46.919
from the app. As I say, the screen in the middle

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.740
shows everyone what's going on and what it can

00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:51.220
see. I did see it was complaining people hadn't

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:53.899
put their seatbelts on. Oh, yeah, the three in

00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:57.080
the back. Put your seatbelts on. It still drove

00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.860
off eventually. Oh, yeah. I guess because it

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.139
could have kind of assumed that maybe you just

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:03.419
put your luggage on the back seat. It's not going

00:14:03.419 --> 00:14:05.700
to really know. Possibly, possibly. And I think,

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:07.139
I couldn't quite see the name, but it looked

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:09.799
like it said hello. Yeah, it said hello to my

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.720
colleague who'd booked it in his app. Yeah, I

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.000
noticed that. How was the actual show? Because

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.419
you went to a Microsoft... Do you want to talk

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:17.059
about it now or are you going to talk about it

00:14:17.059 --> 00:14:19.240
later? Yeah, we can talk about it now. So I went

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.340
to Microsoft Ignite, which for the IT people

00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:23.279
out there will know exactly what it is. For people

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.179
that don't, it's Microsoft's big trade show about

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:28.519
what's coming up this kind of year and what they're

00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.240
focusing on. And this year was just Copilot AI.

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.500
We're introducing Copilot to all of these things.

00:14:34.580 --> 00:14:36.419
We're giving you Copilot. If you've got these

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:38.659
certain licenses, we're combining into this.

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.820
And then what you've got is other than the...

00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.220
big keynote you've then got a week of oh it's

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:50.100
like from 7 a .m through to 6 p .m of seminars

00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:53.899
and i think we did between us about seven seminars

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:57.960
a day and yet you went to them you learned and

00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.980
we learned loads and there was loads of stuff

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:01.440
that we're going to bring back to the company

00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.919
to do but the most impressive the best bit about

00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:08.320
it is that also they had an entire conference

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:14.039
floor of people there showing what's new so there

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.679
was logitech there there was dell there all the

00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:21.299
big it names were there um oracle databases for

00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:24.000
example had an f1 simulator set up and every

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.820
day they were giving whoever got top uh top speed

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:30.220
got a giant lego set nice and there's all sorts

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:33.259
of things going on and it's a full -on f1 simulator

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:36.820
full -on um you need the strength to brake to

00:15:36.820 --> 00:15:39.500
accelerate steering all of that brilliantly done

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:41.940
so we went on that several times obviously yeah

00:15:41.940 --> 00:15:45.059
absolutely um loads and loads of freebies which

00:15:45.059 --> 00:15:48.019
is always good free kind of fido security keys

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:50.840
and all yeah baseball hats loads of stickers

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.820
as you can see on the uh oh that's where they're

00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:55.179
all from yeah yeah the tablet so you got covered

00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:58.279
in stickers which was quite cool um But yeah,

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.360
we were out there for that. But no, we got to

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.259
do some cool things as well. We got there a day

00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:05.360
early because of flights. So we got to do Alcatraz,

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.480
which was awesome. We got to go to an NBA game

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.700
and we saw the home team lose, winning. But I've

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:15.879
got to say, you know, I don't like sport. I would

00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.539
go and watch NBA again. It's such a different

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:21.019
thing over there. They had this entire crowd,

00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:25.700
24 ,000 people. not one person could you say

00:16:25.700 --> 00:16:30.259
was vile, rude to the ref, jeering, shouting.

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:32.320
The only thing you got was when the opponents

00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.299
went up to take a penalty shot, the whole stadium

00:16:35.299 --> 00:16:38.379
boos them. Yeah. But that is it. There's no,

00:16:38.500 --> 00:16:41.779
you're an effing C and any of that shit, or the

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:43.200
ref doesn't know what he's doing, any of that,

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:46.080
not there at all. I think. that's an American

00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:49.519
sport thing. They have a kind of thing in baseball

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.460
where they do shout stuff out to the players,

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:54.799
but it's quite innocent and funny. You know,

00:16:54.820 --> 00:16:58.000
if you ever hear like American soccer chants,

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:59.779
because they would call it, they're so tame.

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:01.679
There's no swearing and they're just like, go

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:03.860
team, go team, win, win, win. And I wouldn't

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:06.420
say no one was drunk either. Everyone was enjoying

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:08.819
it. Yeah, you're allowed to take alcohol to your

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:13.259
seat. Okay. Yep, absolutely. And not an eyelid

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:17.630
batted at that. $21 for a beer. There you go.

00:17:17.670 --> 00:17:19.849
That's a good example of why. Well, and I think

00:17:19.849 --> 00:17:21.730
that's probably why they do do that. So the beer

00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:26.869
was $21, yet I, for about $28, I got a hot dog,

00:17:27.029 --> 00:17:32.410
unlimited Pepsi refills, a giant ice cream, and

00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:36.329
chips. They do like their refills of sugar drinks.

00:17:36.529 --> 00:17:38.609
Soft drinks, yeah. Mountain Dew on tap as well.

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.480
Were you drinking that? Were you drinking Coke?

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:42.579
I had a Mountain Dew as well. Did you have Coke

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:44.900
though? Because I think their Coke is different.

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:48.559
Isn't it? I said to you that. The Florida one,

00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:50.880
the Coke was just different. Oh yeah. And their

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.740
Pepsi tasted like Pepsi used to. Yeah, there's

00:17:53.740 --> 00:17:56.680
something about it that I was addicted to it

00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.839
out there. The Coke was just, as I said before,

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.380
they forgot to remove the Coke from their Coke.

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:05.880
But I mean, yeah. It's a very expensive place.

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:08.380
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, we did the cable cars, so

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:09.859
we got to go up the hill and down the hill on

00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:12.500
the cable cars from where we were to the wharf

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:15.000
and back again. And for one of those trips, it

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.500
was so busy, I had to stand on the rutting board

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:21.339
of the cable car. So literally, I've got a size

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:24.939
11 foot, only half of your foot fits on it. So

00:18:24.939 --> 00:18:27.259
I'm stood on this thing going up and down the

00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:30.039
hill, holding onto a bar while we're just flying

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.940
up and down. Yeah, no thanks. You're brave. That

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:35.099
was great fun. That is the one that's got the

00:18:35.099 --> 00:18:37.920
zigzags going down the slopes. That's Lombard,

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.140
yeah. Did you see that? We saw that as well.

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.019
Oh, that's cool. But Fisherman's Wharf. So there's

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:44.859
a load of piers which is on the bay, which take

00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:49.079
you over to Alcatraz. There is an old Penny Arcade

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.529
Museum. nice and you walk in and the first thing

00:18:51.529 --> 00:18:54.190
you notice is just loads and loads of old kind

00:18:54.190 --> 00:18:58.190
of early you put your penny in and mechanically

00:18:58.190 --> 00:19:01.670
something would happen but then you'd spot oh

00:19:01.670 --> 00:19:03.869
look then they've got early pinball machines

00:19:03.869 --> 00:19:06.150
that's very cool and then the further you went

00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:08.930
in all of a sudden you were saying hang on That's

00:19:08.930 --> 00:19:11.809
Time Crisis. That's Area 51. That's Cruising

00:19:11.809 --> 00:19:16.190
USA. And they just had a load of old school 90s

00:19:16.190 --> 00:19:17.809
arcade machines. Was it like going up through

00:19:17.809 --> 00:19:20.430
time? No, it was mixed around eventually, but

00:19:20.430 --> 00:19:22.670
they had the original asteroids there. They had

00:19:22.670 --> 00:19:25.190
Basils. Oh, they had so many arcade machines.

00:19:25.470 --> 00:19:29.390
And it was like 50 cents a go. Excuse me to all

00:19:29.390 --> 00:19:31.470
the people who do know geography. Is that where

00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:33.609
the Golden Gate Bridge is? It is, yes. So did

00:19:33.609 --> 00:19:36.099
you get to see that? We got to see it at a distance.

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.740
We didn't have enough time to, because it's really

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:42.480
over in, not Fort Baxter, that's Phil Silver's

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.220
show. It's Fort Baker, sorry, is the nearest

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:48.380
part of San Francisco to the bridge. And there's

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:50.980
the national park. From where we were, if we

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:52.380
were to walk, it would have been about a two

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:55.000
hour walk. And we just didn't have time, annoyingly.

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.720
I mean, it took us an hour to walk from our hotel

00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.700
to the wharf, which is where Alcatraz was. So

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:02.299
hence the reason we started using the cable car.

00:20:02.750 --> 00:20:04.309
If we'd been there another day, we would have

00:20:04.309 --> 00:20:06.230
done. But we still got some good views of it.

00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:09.990
We still saw how magnificently large it was.

00:20:10.109 --> 00:20:11.950
Oh, yeah. Everything in America is big. Oh, it

00:20:11.950 --> 00:20:14.190
was giant. Restaurants, food, food. What did

00:20:14.190 --> 00:20:18.140
you eat? Food was amazing. So we were out there,

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:20.799
myself, our head of software development, our

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.680
technical architect, and we were brought out

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:24.480
by a new company called Agro Berries, who are

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.460
based in Chile. Oh, I love that name, Agro Berries.

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:28.539
Agro Berries, yeah. I like that name. So we had

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:30.859
their head of IT, and then they also have a company

00:20:30.859 --> 00:20:33.759
called Berry Fresh, which is out in Los Angeles.

00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.319
So we had their head of IT. So it was kind of

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.440
a bonding thing, because we were kind of formulating

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.319
where our teams were going to merge into one

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.140
team. And it was really good. We all got on fame.

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:45.880
Really good blokes. Really good fun. Had so much

00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.549
fun with them. But we went out for dinner almost

00:20:48.549 --> 00:20:51.769
every night on the company credit card, the bills.

00:20:51.890 --> 00:20:54.369
Well, you should be. Well, San Francisco, as

00:20:54.369 --> 00:20:57.170
expensive as it is, the average bill, do you

00:20:57.170 --> 00:21:01.210
want to guess? $300. $450. Yeah, I mean, it's

00:21:01.210 --> 00:21:03.569
not surprising. But I've got to say, it's a work

00:21:03.569 --> 00:21:06.190
trip. You wouldn't be buying food if you were

00:21:06.190 --> 00:21:08.369
at home. It's the company's responsibility to

00:21:08.369 --> 00:21:10.009
pay for every single thing that you have when

00:21:10.009 --> 00:21:12.029
you're at home. We had a couple of Burger Kings

00:21:12.029 --> 00:21:13.869
because we found a Burger King there. Again,

00:21:13.970 --> 00:21:17.650
very nice. But our dinners are the best ones.

00:21:17.750 --> 00:21:20.190
We went to John's Grill, which was featured in

00:21:20.190 --> 00:21:23.089
an old film called The Maltese Falcon, where

00:21:23.089 --> 00:21:26.250
I had New York steak. And holy shit, that was

00:21:26.250 --> 00:21:30.930
good. How big? 16 ounce. Jeez. It was delicious.

00:21:31.170 --> 00:21:34.049
It was so good. How did you have it cooked? Medium

00:21:34.049 --> 00:21:36.759
rare. I won't go rare, but I won't do anything

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:39.200
above medium. Medium rare is the right spot.

00:21:39.299 --> 00:21:41.960
Was there anything with any pigmented colour

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.660
on there that isn't just brown? Did you have

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:46.819
any greenery? I mean, to be fair... I had carrots

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:49.599
with it. Okay, orange, that's good. It's difficult,

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.779
I found, in Florida to get veg in a restaurant.

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.960
But then we went to the oldest grill there called

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.880
Tideach. Tideach. Also had steak there. But why

00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.359
not? And that was equally as delicious. It was

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.240
amazing. The same kind of steak? Yeah, yeah,

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:06.579
yeah. I didn't feel it was right to spend the

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:09.680
extra $10 on a ribeye, but there you go. Did

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.279
they have any fillets? They had filet mignon,

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.900
and that was another $20 -odd on top of the $50.

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:17.700
Is that the one that's got the sauce on it? Is

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:19.759
that what filet mignon is? No, no, no. It's a

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.480
specific steak. I'm just calling it a fillet.

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.880
Is that a filet mignon? No, a filet mignon is

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.920
a specific filet cut. Sorry for all the posh

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.940
people listening. I don't know. I get my steak

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:34.420
down the calf. We had steak. Now opposite our

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:36.839
hotel was Mel's Diner, which is meant to be the

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.700
oldest diner there. Okay. Not like the brand

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:42.279
they have over here. Oh, it was so funny. Is

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.359
it a tourist trap? No, it's just, it genuinely

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:47.740
gets work people in there all day, every day.

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.960
And we went in for breakfast and we're looking

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.920
through the menu and I was, oh, I think I'll

00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.200
have the lumberjack. It was a... ham steak egg

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:59.900
and grilled potatoes i think so and she came

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:02.900
out so i'm so sorry we've run out of ham steaks

00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:05.940
do you mind sausages oh no i don't mind sausage

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:08.799
oh and it had it was meant to have um two buttermilk

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.240
pink pancakes with it as well okay now i'm thinking

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.559
american style pancakes so slightly small yeah

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:20.450
my breakfast came out on two plates With two

00:23:20.450 --> 00:23:23.789
giant fuck of pancakes on it. Yeah, yeah. A big

00:23:23.789 --> 00:23:26.730
portion of maple syrup. Three fried eggs done

00:23:26.730 --> 00:23:29.890
sunny side up. Yeah. Three sausages. Oh, wow.

00:23:29.890 --> 00:23:33.029
And an entire plate of grilled potatoes. Oh,

00:23:33.029 --> 00:23:36.319
my God. And I was just like, oh, shit. You should

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.039
have gone to Cracker Barrel. Did you go to a

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.660
Cracker Barrel? Oh, we didn't, but I kept seeing

00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:41.160
the adverts for it because the adverts are so

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.720
delightfully 70s for it because the logo hasn't

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.819
changed. Well, no, they did change the logo and

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:50.059
there was uproar for about two weeks. They moved

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:52.799
it back. Yeah. Because apparently the old guy,

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.059
you know, you know that, you know. Yeah. Yeah.

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.240
So they put it back. Cracker Barrel turned around.

00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.380
So there were two places we did want to eat and

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:03.259
we never got around to it. There was an IHOP.

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:06.240
Okay. I've heard of it. I thought it disappeared.

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:09.920
International House of Pancakes. And an Applebee's,

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:11.519
which again, I thought had died to death. I've

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.839
been to an Applebee's. We ate at Cheesecake Factory.

00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:17.319
Oh, yeah. Did you have a massive slice of cheesecake?

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:21.039
Oh, yeah. Yeah? I was buzzing for hours. It was

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.660
tiramisu cheesecake. Oh, nice. Jesus, I was buzzing.

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:27.380
Did you have another steak there? What did I

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:28.880
have there? Because they do normal food there,

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.410
too. No, I had fried chicken. Yeah? Yeah, and

00:24:31.410 --> 00:24:33.329
that was okay. It was a bit dry, to be honest.

00:24:33.789 --> 00:24:36.609
It was a fried chicken with maple syrup, chips,

00:24:36.710 --> 00:24:41.930
and... No, it was with mash, sorry, not chips.

00:24:42.170 --> 00:24:45.769
Right. It wasn't all that. I wasn't blown away

00:24:45.769 --> 00:24:47.750
by that. Almost chicken and waffles. It was got

00:24:47.750 --> 00:24:49.029
the maple syrup. You just need the waffle with

00:24:49.029 --> 00:24:50.730
it, because that is amazing. That is an amazing

00:24:50.730 --> 00:24:53.750
meal. Anyway, that's what I did in San Francisco.

00:24:56.109 --> 00:24:57.670
You want to know about the films, I guess, that

00:24:57.670 --> 00:24:59.730
I've seen and what I've watched this week? Yeah,

00:24:59.809 --> 00:25:02.670
on the plane, what was it? Well, I actually didn't

00:25:02.670 --> 00:25:04.410
watch anything on their screen, although their

00:25:04.410 --> 00:25:07.089
screen had loads of good films and it had the

00:25:07.089 --> 00:25:09.569
new Naked Gun on there, which I was very tempted

00:25:09.569 --> 00:25:14.849
by. In order, I watched Playdate, which is at

00:25:14.849 --> 00:25:17.569
Amazon Prime, our favourite actors in there,

00:25:17.730 --> 00:25:20.849
along with Kevin James. I really want to see

00:25:20.849 --> 00:25:23.650
that. Really funny. Yeah. It's a turn -your -brain

00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:26.809
-off film, but it's very, very funny. Really,

00:25:26.890 --> 00:25:29.430
really good fun. Then I watched The Ministry

00:25:29.430 --> 00:25:31.750
of Ungentlemanly Warfare. I want to see that

00:25:31.750 --> 00:25:34.529
too. Which, again, was him. Again, phenomenal.

00:25:34.589 --> 00:25:36.369
Didn't realise how much of a real story it was

00:25:36.369 --> 00:25:39.009
based on. Yeah, it's meant to be the start of

00:25:39.009 --> 00:25:42.750
the SAS or something. Yeah, in effect. The first

00:25:42.750 --> 00:25:46.089
few books. Henry Cavill's it. Yeah, in effect,

00:25:46.150 --> 00:25:48.769
where he got the idea for James Bond from, Ian

00:25:48.769 --> 00:25:51.660
Fleming. And then I sat through Interstellar,

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:53.259
which I'd never seen. Interstellar's brilliant.

00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:57.440
Very long. It's not a plane film, though. Well,

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:59.180
it is when you've got a 10 -hour flight. No,

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.079
but you want a massive screen, great sound. Yeah,

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.619
no, I was quite happy with it on the tablet with

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:08.680
my headphones on. Yeah, really cool film. Didn't

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.900
expect Matt Damon to turn up in it in an evil

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:16.099
way. What did you think about, right, everyone

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:19.000
spoilers, if you haven't seen it, the stuff inside

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:23.980
the black hole? Yeah. It started to go a little

00:26:23.980 --> 00:26:27.440
bit oolah, pee -pee -poo -poo to go there. And

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:29.420
it's just like, I kind of understand what they're

00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:32.180
doing and this is the only way you could really

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:37.420
display it. I understand that. But at the same

00:26:37.420 --> 00:26:42.329
time, I don't know if they could have... done

00:26:42.329 --> 00:26:44.289
something different i don't know it's really

00:26:44.289 --> 00:26:48.029
awkward it's a very sad film as well oh yeah

00:26:48.029 --> 00:26:52.750
i think every moment that he is away is 20 moments

00:26:52.750 --> 00:26:56.309
in his daughter's life is a very sad things like

00:26:56.309 --> 00:26:58.210
that when they get stuck on the first planet

00:26:58.210 --> 00:27:01.190
and it's like 70 years has already passed yeah

00:27:01.190 --> 00:27:04.450
and they just know like that's it everything

00:27:04.450 --> 00:27:07.869
we've been working with gone yeah it's it's horrible

00:27:07.869 --> 00:27:12.480
um I still don't understand time dilation. I

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.579
still can't get my head around it. And it's a

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:15.619
horrible film because the fact is they don't

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:20.720
save Earth. No. If you think about it, they don't

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:24.480
actually save Earth. They managed to launch the

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.779
custom -built building that's actually a space

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:32.069
station thanks to the daughter. thanks to him

00:27:32.069 --> 00:27:34.289
being in a black hole pointing them in the right

00:27:34.289 --> 00:27:37.450
way um i think again that was the other thing

00:27:37.450 --> 00:27:40.670
as well knowing what binary is zeros and ones

00:27:40.670 --> 00:27:45.430
and the information they need to unless the information

00:27:45.430 --> 00:27:50.869
was like one sentence that she needs to manage

00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:59.410
to do the correct um oh what's the word um my

00:27:59.410 --> 00:28:01.369
brain's gone absolutely blank when you talk when

00:28:01.369 --> 00:28:04.089
the equation that's it when she's trying to work

00:28:04.089 --> 00:28:05.930
out the equation unless she's literally that

00:28:05.930 --> 00:28:09.349
close she only needs one sentence she would have

00:28:09.349 --> 00:28:13.250
been staring in that watch for years going one

00:28:13.250 --> 00:28:15.769
zero oh shit i missed one oh no no it makes no

00:28:15.769 --> 00:28:18.349
sense at all that's the only bit that's a bit

00:28:18.349 --> 00:28:21.009
you know what that's really stupid time dilation

00:28:21.009 --> 00:28:22.529
isn't the right word what's the word i should

00:28:22.529 --> 00:28:26.259
have been saying when the time's different yeah

00:28:26.259 --> 00:28:29.180
it was time because yeah in theory the faster

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:31.720
you go and the further away time moves differently

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:33.579
i thought time moves differently absolutely so

00:28:33.579 --> 00:28:35.420
yeah so there was that so that was the plane

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:39.299
flight out there and then coming back uh i did

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:41.980
watch some tv on the plane i watched a show called

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:46.039
the pit which is uh noah while kind of recounting

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.200
re kind of becoming his role of carter from er

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.410
but they didn't get the license for it so It's

00:28:52.410 --> 00:28:54.910
a spiritual successor where he's got different

00:28:54.910 --> 00:28:58.930
characters. It's, in effect, ER based in this

00:28:58.930 --> 00:29:01.289
era now. And they just didn't get the license,

00:29:01.369 --> 00:29:03.829
so they just renamed it all. They got in trouble

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:06.410
over it. What a surprise. So I watched a few

00:29:06.410 --> 00:29:09.950
episodes of that. Watched Jackpot on Prime. I

00:29:09.950 --> 00:29:13.079
don't know what that is either. uh the actress

00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:18.039
who does all the voices um for kids films and

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:19.400
i can't think of what her name is so i'm going

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.299
to very very quickly look her up because as soon

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:24.599
as you see her you know who i'm going to be talking

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.339
about uh the idea is is that she's gone to la

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:32.660
to be an actress la's really really gone downhill

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:37.819
to the point that they now host a monthly oh

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:43.640
yeah um Aquafina? Aquafina. Yeah, I'm not even

00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:45.579
going to try pronouncing that one again. So the

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:48.720
LA lot hold a, I think it's a monthly lottery

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:50.579
where you get this little digital ticket, you

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:52.920
enroll it with your thumbprint, and if you win,

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:56.299
you win however much money it is. However, you

00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:59.359
have to survive until sundown because anyone

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.079
that has a lottery ticket can come and kill you.

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:04.319
They're not allowed to use a gun. They've got

00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:07.180
to use something physical. but if they kill you

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:09.960
they get the lottery prize instead right and

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:12.700
it's basically she accidentally activates a lottery

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:15.200
ticket without knowing what it is then wonders

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.240
why everyone's trying to kill her john senna

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.720
owns a protection company that's designed to

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.980
protect these lottery winners and it goes on

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:24.019
from there really fun that sounds fun it was

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:26.740
so funny again it's a turn your brain off film

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:29.319
really fun and then final film i know you said

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:33.660
you wanted this shorter but happy gilmore God,

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.240
I need to watch it because I want to see the

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:36.720
second one. I haven't seen it either. I'd never

00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.440
seen it and I thought, I've got to see it. Oh,

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:42.200
so good. It's meant to be. I forgot how much,

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.680
as much as I don't like Adam Sandler, I do like

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.200
Adam Sandler. It's really odd. The film of his

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.200
I want to watch again is when he's like the devil's

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:54.859
kid. Oh, Little Nicky. Yeah, I want to watch

00:30:54.859 --> 00:30:57.099
that one again, but it's so hard to find to watch.

00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.000
Yeah, they're not easy to get hold of. I mean,

00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.650
my favourite was always The Waterboy. Yeah, I

00:31:01.650 --> 00:31:05.650
have seen it, but a long time ago. Yeah. Happy

00:31:05.650 --> 00:31:08.470
Gilmore's worth it. It's got a lot of things

00:31:08.470 --> 00:31:11.789
in it. You forget who he's friends with. So a

00:31:11.789 --> 00:31:15.089
somewhat minor role in it is Ben Stiller. Well,

00:31:15.130 --> 00:31:17.009
they're all SNL. All of them are SNL. Of course

00:31:17.009 --> 00:31:18.710
they are. All of that lot are all SNL. Yeah,

00:31:18.769 --> 00:31:20.869
but Ben Stiller's a small part in it. Really

00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:23.890
weird. But so, so good. Well, it's like him,

00:31:24.009 --> 00:31:28.069
Robert Downey Jr., Owen Wilson, the guy who was

00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:30.349
in that Alan Richardson film that you said earlier.

00:31:30.970 --> 00:31:32.670
Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's some

00:31:32.670 --> 00:31:34.069
other guys. Kevin James. Yeah, the other guys

00:31:34.069 --> 00:31:36.130
are coming. They're all mates. So they all do

00:31:36.130 --> 00:31:38.289
crossover. Oh, well, that makes sense. Chris

00:31:38.289 --> 00:31:41.829
Rock. Who else? Oh, God, I could keep naming

00:31:41.829 --> 00:31:43.430
all of these American comedians, but they're

00:31:43.430 --> 00:31:45.769
all friends. Gotcha. Well, that makes sense.

00:31:45.890 --> 00:31:49.410
Oh, no, definitely. If going to see any of them,

00:31:49.509 --> 00:31:52.549
I would put Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

00:31:52.549 --> 00:31:59.009
top, then see Happy Gilmore, and then I'd go

00:31:59.009 --> 00:32:03.009
Playdate and then Jackpot. Jackpot and Playdate,

00:32:03.089 --> 00:32:04.369
actually, I would say you could interchange,

00:32:04.670 --> 00:32:06.509
to be fair. Sorry, that was Link. He just whacked

00:32:06.509 --> 00:32:09.269
the mic from the side. Yeah, but otherwise, that's

00:32:09.269 --> 00:32:12.950
all I watched. Otherwise, in the hotel, it was

00:32:12.950 --> 00:32:14.990
watching lots of Friends, South Park, because

00:32:14.990 --> 00:32:17.190
that's all that was on Comedy Central. Yeah.

00:32:17.710 --> 00:32:20.690
Did you put your credit card on the TV? No, no,

00:32:20.710 --> 00:32:24.569
no. The work card. Well, something was hard.

00:32:25.509 --> 00:32:28.890
I said work card. Oh, work card. I'm sorry. I

00:32:28.890 --> 00:32:31.339
thought you said work hard. I'm always hard.

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:39.299
What have you been up to? Not much. Mine is going

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:41.220
to be very long this time. Yes, well, you said

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:43.000
last time in what, 25 minutes? Yeah, 25 minutes

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.799
it was. Were you cutting it even after that?

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.259
We'll be cutting it. We've watched a lot of Stranger

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:51.160
Things. We are halfway through season four now,

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.940
ready for basically season five comes out. as

00:32:54.940 --> 00:32:57.599
of recording this tomorrow so we wanted to be

00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:59.000
as close to as we could because it's going to

00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:00.940
get spoiled but people just write stuff all over

00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:04.240
the place and get spoiled so and we i forgot

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.980
how much i really liked liked the strange things

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:11.180
apart from as we said last time episode seven

00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:14.730
of season two Diabolical. It's just as bad the

00:33:14.730 --> 00:33:16.369
second time I watched it. It's funny you say

00:33:16.369 --> 00:33:18.410
that now. I don't know if it was on TechRadar

00:33:18.410 --> 00:33:20.410
or if it was on Gizmodo. It's on one of them.

00:33:21.549 --> 00:33:23.670
There was an article about Strange Things Is

00:33:23.670 --> 00:33:26.890
Coming. We've spoken to the director and he said,

00:33:26.990 --> 00:33:29.230
if you're not going to re -watch all the series,

00:33:29.430 --> 00:33:31.250
these are the episodes you need to watch. And

00:33:31.250 --> 00:33:32.890
he's literally just said, yeah, just watch these

00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:34.569
four and you'll be ready for the next season.

00:33:34.789 --> 00:33:37.970
Yeah. I mean, we're watching it all. The thing

00:33:37.970 --> 00:33:41.579
is, though, they do button it up. like the end

00:33:41.579 --> 00:33:44.099
of each season it's it's a season and then they

00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:46.779
have a little bit which crosses over you know

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:49.220
just like the i know i don't want to spoil it

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:52.140
for you but like the upside down it just kind

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:55.720
of gets progressively worse at the end of each

00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.500
one and that's kind of really the only thing

00:33:58.500 --> 00:34:00.839
that's going other than character relationships

00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.920
that's very easy to pick up on within the first

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:08.400
episode next season um i just imagine because

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:13.329
season five is the last one they might you know

00:34:13.329 --> 00:34:15.650
cross a few t's and dot a few i's of older stuff

00:34:15.650 --> 00:34:18.730
yeah um and yeah if there's only four episodes

00:34:18.730 --> 00:34:20.429
i imagine that's probably just the last episode

00:34:20.429 --> 00:34:23.409
of each season because it probably would be enough

00:34:23.409 --> 00:34:27.550
you know um but aside from that especially all

00:34:27.550 --> 00:34:29.730
the tv we've been watching i've watched a lot

00:34:29.730 --> 00:34:32.489
of youtube because i always do i've kind of fallen

00:34:32.489 --> 00:34:35.949
into a fred dibner hole Oh, Fred Dibner. Yeah,

00:34:36.030 --> 00:34:38.829
Steeplejack. 1970s Steeplejack. I was watching

00:34:38.829 --> 00:34:40.550
it literally before you came out. Doesn't it

00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:43.170
feel you just full of absolute dread watching

00:34:43.170 --> 00:34:46.530
him climb up the chimney? And it's like, I know

00:34:46.530 --> 00:34:49.949
he's lived. I know he survived. But this is horrible.

00:34:50.530 --> 00:34:53.550
Yeah, so he's really funny. He's very funny.

00:34:53.829 --> 00:34:56.409
Like there's a kind of documentary filmed when

00:34:56.409 --> 00:34:59.690
he was a young man on YouTube. And it's like

00:34:59.690 --> 00:35:03.260
45 to 50 minutes long. And it is. wonderful to

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:05.239
watch i've seen it so many times i've literally

00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:06.800
i was watching it earlier i'm 10 minutes back

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.460
into it um and just like his mum's in it and

00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:12.739
he's saying like oh yeah well i redid it i was

00:35:12.739 --> 00:35:15.260
17 i just redid a chimney stack she hated it

00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:20.280
like and like no you know those old terrace houses

00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.079
we'd have four um you know one of those thick

00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.480
chimney stacks with four pots on top yeah when

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:26.900
he went up there three of them don't even get

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:29.039
used so he knocked it down just built a new one

00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:33.280
beautiful kind of almost like architecture um

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:36.280
um Jimmy said he goes I think designers built

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:38.139
it and it just ended up like this but the guy

00:35:38.139 --> 00:35:39.780
apparently went to art school you see him do

00:35:39.780 --> 00:35:43.099
these most beautiful drawings all by hand and

00:35:43.099 --> 00:35:45.000
he said that was winning him jobs because other

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.300
company would just like give him a crappy little

00:35:47.300 --> 00:35:50.159
and I just pointed out though beautiful artist

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.679
really good artist because uh later on he does

00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.880
narrowboats and steam engines oh yeah steam engine

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.869
stuff's wicked I've seen him before Teaching

00:35:57.869 --> 00:36:00.210
boys to bake cakes. That's no way to maintain

00:36:00.210 --> 00:36:03.289
an industrial empire. Yeah, I mean, he was a

00:36:03.289 --> 00:36:05.989
man of his time. Oh, 100%. He's a guy who lives

00:36:05.989 --> 00:36:10.250
covered, caked in stuff. Constantly, he was like,

00:36:10.349 --> 00:36:11.849
if you listen to him, constantly going through

00:36:11.849 --> 00:36:13.150
apprentices because they kept sending him to

00:36:13.150 --> 00:36:15.389
the pub. Eventually, he kind of didn't want to.

00:36:16.610 --> 00:36:19.909
You know, a man's man, you know, that's him.

00:36:21.409 --> 00:36:25.670
He... I kind of lost train of thought of what

00:36:25.670 --> 00:36:28.820
I was saying, but... yeah just seeing him go

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:32.079
up on all these huge like towers and stuff with

00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:34.739
no harnesses but there's a really good one it's

00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:36.659
not part of the documentary that i'm talking

00:36:36.659 --> 00:36:38.400
about but another one where he shows you how

00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:40.059
he lashes the ladders to the side of chimneys

00:36:40.059 --> 00:36:43.739
he's literally just props a ladder up puts a

00:36:43.739 --> 00:36:46.219
bit of rope around it and goes up and then when

00:36:46.219 --> 00:36:48.619
he's up the top he kind of he has these just

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:51.159
weird slithers of metal which he hammers by hand

00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.639
into the water and then ties the ladder off to

00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:56.230
it and then up he goes again And then he's got

00:36:56.230 --> 00:36:59.969
his mate that he employs who's just down there

00:36:59.969 --> 00:37:02.550
smoking a bottle, occasionally tagging a ladder

00:37:02.550 --> 00:37:05.550
onto a rope that he pulls up by hand. And he's

00:37:05.550 --> 00:37:10.030
like 50 ladders up. Balancing on one foot. Oh,

00:37:10.050 --> 00:37:13.489
and in the, because this is so sci -fi related,

00:37:13.670 --> 00:37:16.349
when he's all the way at the top in the documentary,

00:37:16.690 --> 00:37:18.489
when he's all the way at the top, he's got to

00:37:18.489 --> 00:37:20.969
get onto these planks of wood around the top

00:37:20.969 --> 00:37:23.539
of this chimney stack. Well, he doesn't go like

00:37:23.539 --> 00:37:25.480
on the chimney stack side. He goes around the

00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.519
outside. No harness. And you can see him wibbling

00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.179
and wobbling a bit. The guy has got... how he

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:34.800
manages to drag his balls up there i think that's

00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.119
the biggest it's when he's his wooden chair that's

00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.239
just held by two ropes and he just ties it off

00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:41.699
and then drops himself down and then he's walking

00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:44.019
around the edge stretching it's like this is

00:37:44.019 --> 00:37:46.300
horrible yeah i don't know how he makes it and

00:37:46.300 --> 00:37:48.840
he's knocking them down by hand yep he starts

00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:51.659
the fire did you see the one he starts yeah underneath

00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:54.039
one to burn it down here you go this is a good

00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:57.199
quote talking about dying the ideal way out of

00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.619
no sorry the ideal way out would be i think instead

00:38:00.619 --> 00:38:02.920
of dying in bed of lung cancer or something horrible

00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.679
like that just to drop off a chimney one sunny

00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.019
day when i'm about 75 and that'll be the end

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:10.659
well it's a shame really because he died of prostate

00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:13.780
cancer yeah but he he's like one of the quotes

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:16.949
he goes um I never worry about falling off a

00:38:16.949 --> 00:38:18.429
chimney because you only fall off a chimney once.

00:38:18.869 --> 00:38:24.829
Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess. But he said he's never

00:38:24.829 --> 00:38:26.630
fallen off, but the worst damage he ever did

00:38:26.630 --> 00:38:28.389
was he fell off a stepladder in a little girl's

00:38:28.389 --> 00:38:30.489
bedroom doing something in her room. He fell

00:38:30.489 --> 00:38:33.010
off a stepladder and out of work for weeks because

00:38:33.010 --> 00:38:36.230
he'd done his backing or something. The man was

00:38:36.230 --> 00:38:40.869
just a legend, an absolute legend. He's so telegenic.

00:38:40.889 --> 00:38:43.900
Yeah. I saw him once on his steam engine. I can't

00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:45.519
remember where we were as a family. Maybe we

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.199
were up north. And yeah, it was a steam fair.

00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:51.159
And there he was. I've seen him. So I'm pretty

00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:52.800
sure the one that's in the documentary is the

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.599
one I've seen. Oh, that's cool. Which is brilliant.

00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:56.840
At the time, I probably didn't appreciate who

00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:58.739
he was. I remember dad saying that's who he was.

00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:01.599
But I probably didn't really appreciate it at

00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:03.420
the time. Now it would have been starstruck.

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:06.139
The old man used to watch the Channel 4 series

00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:07.920
that he used to run. He used to run a whole Channel

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.920
4 series. That was about his steam engines, I

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:12.739
think, yeah. And I used to just avoid it. And

00:39:12.739 --> 00:39:16.000
then just weirdly one afternoon I was flicking

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.900
through YouTube and it just came up with like

00:39:17.900 --> 00:39:21.199
black and white footage, BBC archive, Fred Dibner

00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:23.420
up a chimney. Oh, you know, I'll watch that because

00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:25.780
that looks terrifying. And then you've even,

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:28.199
oh, I just felt bad because there's one that,

00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:32.280
they show him going up the chimney he puts all

00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:35.199
the ladder up and the BBC are following him and

00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.519
they go up with the crane takes him up instead

00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:40.059
so he doesn't have to climb up the ladder and

00:39:40.059 --> 00:39:42.659
the bloody cameraman climbs out gets the camera

00:39:42.659 --> 00:39:44.699
handed to him he's like mate you've got pretty

00:39:44.699 --> 00:39:46.880
big bollocks to be doing that as well this is

00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.000
what my dad was saying to me the other day because

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:52.460
we were watching it at his and he was like how

00:39:52.460 --> 00:39:54.139
are they filming this have they got one of those

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:55.880
big machines they won't have had cherry pickers

00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:58.659
in the 70s no but yeah like there's there's a

00:39:58.659 --> 00:40:00.820
cameraman up there with one of them the cameraman

00:40:00.820 --> 00:40:03.159
follows him up and actually goes up the ladders

00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:05.099
and then the other one he's on the kind of one

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:07.440
of those giant scissor lifts but the cameraman

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:10.920
has a huge camera with him so he's doing all

00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:14.210
of that plus one of those massive what 15 kilo,

00:40:14.409 --> 00:40:17.250
maybe a bit more cameras on his shoulder? No

00:40:17.250 --> 00:40:20.090
way. Well, I wonder if he brought the camera

00:40:20.090 --> 00:40:21.730
up when he's up top. I wonder if they took it

00:40:21.730 --> 00:40:23.590
up by rope like they were doing with the ladders.

00:40:24.010 --> 00:40:25.510
No, well, he doesn't bring his ladder up pretty

00:40:25.510 --> 00:40:27.389
carefully because I wouldn't want to put my really

00:40:27.389 --> 00:40:29.869
expensive camera slammed into the chimney all

00:40:29.869 --> 00:40:33.369
the way up. Oh, but you know, absolute legend,

00:40:33.449 --> 00:40:35.949
mate. I've got stuck watching his stuff before.

00:40:37.250 --> 00:40:40.690
Yeah, that is it. It's been Stranger Things and

00:40:40.690 --> 00:40:44.590
Fred Dibner Hole. Wow. It's not a bad place to

00:40:44.590 --> 00:40:46.309
be sandwiched between. Well, before we get on

00:40:46.309 --> 00:40:47.610
to the film, I've got something else to bring

00:40:47.610 --> 00:40:55.469
up. So why don't we press that button? Accessing

00:40:55.469 --> 00:40:59.989
library computer data. The reason we're all here

00:40:59.989 --> 00:41:04.010
to watch a film from 2006, which felt like it

00:41:04.010 --> 00:41:06.090
was from the 90s for how many times they said

00:41:06.090 --> 00:41:10.550
fag and retard. It's exactly what I said. Gemma's

00:41:10.550 --> 00:41:13.250
like, I want to watch it with you so I know what

00:41:13.250 --> 00:41:14.750
you're talking about in there. And I said, look,

00:41:14.809 --> 00:41:16.710
I don't think we're going to get time the next

00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:19.230
film. Then I watched it and I went to Gemma straight

00:41:19.230 --> 00:41:21.769
away and said, you would have hated this. The

00:41:21.769 --> 00:41:24.070
number of times they said fag, it was just not

00:41:24.070 --> 00:41:26.389
your type of comedy. And she's like, oh, okay.

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:29.820
yeah holy shit my judge dropped a fucking ball

00:41:29.820 --> 00:41:33.460
on this one yeah i text james earlier and i was

00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:37.440
like this film is the most 90s film i've ever

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.679
watched considering it came out in 2006 now i've

00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:43.360
i'm i'm not going to censor any of my swearing

00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.400
in this one i've never heard the word retard

00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:49.199
and fag said so many times in one show it was

00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:54.170
constant like Idiocracy we're talking about,

00:41:54.210 --> 00:41:56.250
by the way. Before we get into it, so Idiocracy,

00:41:56.409 --> 00:41:59.530
filmed by Mike Judge. Mike Judge you will have

00:41:59.530 --> 00:42:01.329
known for Beavers and Butthead, which some of

00:42:01.329 --> 00:42:02.829
you might go away and go, well, of course it

00:42:02.829 --> 00:42:04.730
was going to be bad. I love Beavers and Butthead.

00:42:05.550 --> 00:42:08.210
In its own way, it's actually a very clever comedy,

00:42:08.389 --> 00:42:10.769
Beavis and Butthead. In other ways, it is just

00:42:10.769 --> 00:42:12.829
grotesque and fucking stupid. But that's what

00:42:12.829 --> 00:42:15.289
made it work. But Mike Judge also went off and

00:42:15.289 --> 00:42:17.449
did things like King of the Hill, which is one

00:42:17.449 --> 00:42:19.550
of them. Which is fantastic. An absolutely fantastic

00:42:19.550 --> 00:42:23.349
adult comedy up there and probably swinging and

00:42:23.349 --> 00:42:25.849
getting as high a score as The Simpsons in some

00:42:25.849 --> 00:42:29.909
ways. He did Office Space, which is a phenomenal

00:42:29.909 --> 00:42:32.809
film. Then we've got Beavis and Butthead Did

00:42:32.809 --> 00:42:34.690
America. He's got the new Beavis and Butthead

00:42:34.690 --> 00:42:36.730
series, the new Beavis and Butthead film, which,

00:42:36.750 --> 00:42:38.849
again, have been equally absolutely brilliant.

00:42:40.530 --> 00:42:44.409
He absolutely misstepped with this. It's such

00:42:44.409 --> 00:42:48.750
a weird fucking film. So do you want to describe

00:42:48.750 --> 00:42:52.670
what the film is? So there is a guy who works

00:42:52.670 --> 00:42:56.010
in the military. He is like a librarian. And

00:42:56.010 --> 00:42:59.860
for whatever reason, they want to test out. um

00:42:59.860 --> 00:43:03.239
putting people to in cryo status basically the

00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:05.619
effect it has on people he is the most perfectly

00:43:05.619 --> 00:43:08.679
average person in every way average intelligent

00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:12.260
average held average high average weight everything

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:15.519
about him he is bog standard average yeah and

00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:17.639
they want to use him as like the litmus paper

00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:20.880
for testing this stuff along with the prostitute

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.800
along with for some reason the prostitute So

00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:26.519
they pop them into these machines. I'm not going

00:43:26.519 --> 00:43:28.039
to go too into detail, but they pop them into

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:31.579
these machines. Stuff happens. They end up being

00:43:31.579 --> 00:43:36.219
opened 500 years later by accident. And everyone

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:39.860
is now stupid because only the stupid people

00:43:39.860 --> 00:43:45.780
were populating the planet. And that's it. But

00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:48.480
that is the plot. And basically they're going

00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:52.480
to... The stupid people have taken over and they

00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.659
are slowly dying because the earth has come to

00:43:55.659 --> 00:43:58.579
a stall, basically. They've got no food growing.

00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:02.019
Dust storms are killing them. And there's a lot

00:44:02.019 --> 00:44:03.800
of automations, like the hospitals automate.

00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:08.300
There's a lot of automated stuff. Yeah, I said

00:44:08.300 --> 00:44:10.480
to you off air, it should have stayed on TikTok.

00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:13.840
The clips are funny. Yes. But when you watch

00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:16.219
the whole film, it's not. Yeah, there's very

00:44:16.219 --> 00:44:19.019
few clips on TikTok and those very few clips

00:44:19.019 --> 00:44:21.119
are the best bits. Oh, the funny bits. The funniest

00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.360
bit in it, I think, is the bit that's also quite

00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.340
the darkest. And it's the very beginning when

00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:32.119
the voiceover is explaining what happened. And

00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:36.519
you've basically got a... white trash family

00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:39.559
i think they'd describe as it yeah um having

00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:42.599
sex with their cousins brothers sisters and you

00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:46.880
slowly watch their family tree grow and grow

00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:50.360
and grow and grow and it's just hundreds of relations

00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:54.139
all all spanning off the same three people hence

00:44:54.139 --> 00:44:55.940
the reason you're going to get this inbred side

00:44:55.940 --> 00:44:58.340
of things But then the other part of it is every

00:44:58.340 --> 00:45:00.820
time that you see something happen to that family

00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:03.260
and another generation be born, it then goes

00:45:03.260 --> 00:45:06.619
back to this other couple who can't have a baby

00:45:06.619 --> 00:45:10.099
and then eventually dies masturbating trying

00:45:10.099 --> 00:45:14.880
to give his semen donation. So then she's like,

00:45:14.980 --> 00:45:16.880
well, I'm sure I'll have a baby at some point.

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:18.940
Then it goes back over to the hillbillies and

00:45:18.940 --> 00:45:21.920
they've just taken over. And the idea is that

00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:24.300
that is what happened and that's why the earth

00:45:24.300 --> 00:45:27.159
is in this state because these people, were the

00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:29.699
ones that kept on replicating, whereas the normal,

00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:33.320
sensible human beings weren't. Yeah. I mean,

00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:35.880
I wasn't laughing at that, but I did enjoy that

00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:40.800
bit. I didn't laugh out loud until he was attached

00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:43.059
to a rock and a forklift pushed the rock down

00:45:43.059 --> 00:45:45.960
the stairs. Yes. That was the first laugh out

00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:47.960
loud bit. And let me tell you, that was an hour

00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:50.360
into the film of an hour and 24 minutes. An hour

00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:54.239
and 24 minutes that, thank God, didn't feel longer.

00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:58.500
yeah it i mean i watched over three days so i

00:45:58.500 --> 00:46:03.619
kind of didn't have the i mean i watched 45 minutes

00:46:03.619 --> 00:46:06.719
of that today the first two like short bits and

00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:09.000
i was kind of today like i was at the point was

00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:10.440
i have to watch this because we're recording

00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:13.519
i wasn't enjoying it and i'm gutted because i've

00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.780
wanted to watch this film i've seen so many times

00:46:16.780 --> 00:46:19.820
it's come up and the premise of it was a really

00:46:19.820 --> 00:46:23.300
funny idea So it should have been really good.

00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:26.519
And with Mike Judge being involved, I will stay

00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:30.000
on that mountain. I will stay on that. It should

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.780
have been good with him. But, oh, wow. Dax Shepard's

00:46:34.780 --> 00:46:38.519
character, Freeto, I found him so frustrating

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:41.699
because the voice he put on, I couldn't actually

00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:44.400
understand it. And it wasn't like he was going

00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:46.480
to, that everyone's an idiot. And they literally

00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:51.360
were, he mumbled idiocy. And it was actually

00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.619
too difficult to understand what was going on.

00:46:53.699 --> 00:46:56.440
Terry Crews was actually quite good. I liked

00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:58.139
Terry Crews' character. Terry Crews was one of

00:46:58.139 --> 00:47:02.159
the only saving graces of this film. Justin Long

00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:05.079
was in it too. He played the Doctor. Good character.

00:47:05.699 --> 00:47:10.059
I liked Justin Long in stuff. But again, the

00:47:10.059 --> 00:47:15.260
rest of it was just tosh. Sorry. Yeah, it really

00:47:15.260 --> 00:47:20.159
was. I mean, the whole premise of... He only

00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.079
wanted to do the last few years in the library

00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:24.119
and then he was going to get his pension. Really

00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:27.780
typical trope. Nothing special about that, but

00:47:27.780 --> 00:47:30.039
you kind of accept that. Then you have the whole

00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:32.659
family tree bit, which by the way, Hank and Bobby

00:47:32.659 --> 00:47:35.599
from King of the Hill appear on the hillbilly

00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:39.980
side. Then we're thrown into this bit that they're

00:47:39.980 --> 00:47:43.909
meant to be in the future. Rubbish has just been

00:47:43.909 --> 00:47:45.650
dumped everywhere and they've just got these

00:47:45.650 --> 00:47:48.969
mountainscapes of rubbish. And then the collapse

00:47:48.969 --> 00:47:51.949
of one of those is what triggers this whole event

00:47:51.949 --> 00:47:55.769
and them being found. And yeah, we were taken

00:47:55.769 --> 00:48:02.030
straight into Dax, who's playing Frito. And it's

00:48:02.030 --> 00:48:04.429
just obnoxious. And I know the idea is all these

00:48:04.429 --> 00:48:07.210
people are meant to be obnoxious. And I've forgotten

00:48:07.210 --> 00:48:10.250
what he said. It was like a cross between gangster.

00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:16.780
And the various different kind of slang languages

00:48:16.780 --> 00:48:20.780
that we had around the 2000s. It just really,

00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:28.059
really, it just didn't work. Yeah. I quite laughed

00:48:28.059 --> 00:48:30.719
at the giant Costco. So they're going across

00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.780
the wasteland to go and find a time machine.

00:48:33.230 --> 00:48:35.710
Yeah. Because he hopes he can go back in time

00:48:35.710 --> 00:48:37.309
and stop it all from happening. So he's, oh,

00:48:37.329 --> 00:48:39.010
well, there's one at the Costco, so we can go

00:48:39.010 --> 00:48:41.510
to Costco. And if anyone's ever been to a Costco

00:48:41.510 --> 00:48:44.130
in the UK or the US especially, you know just

00:48:44.130 --> 00:48:47.190
how big they are. And then you get to this Costco

00:48:47.190 --> 00:48:49.809
in the film and it's just comically, it's got

00:48:49.809 --> 00:48:54.190
an entire train service inside it. And I genuinely

00:48:54.190 --> 00:48:55.929
thought, you know what, that's quite a funny

00:48:55.929 --> 00:49:01.010
elaboration on what Costco is becoming now. But

00:49:01.010 --> 00:49:03.909
the Mountain Dew in the water, because of the

00:49:03.909 --> 00:49:05.949
kind of clips that we watched. So one of the

00:49:05.949 --> 00:49:08.210
things that's happening is this company have

00:49:08.210 --> 00:49:11.070
taken over basically everything, the FCC and

00:49:11.070 --> 00:49:13.690
other companies. So now they just sell their

00:49:13.690 --> 00:49:15.469
energy drink to everybody. They own everything.

00:49:15.869 --> 00:49:19.050
And they've basically replaced water. So in every

00:49:19.050 --> 00:49:20.949
single scenario, apart from toilet bowls, by

00:49:20.949 --> 00:49:23.849
the sound of it, which is a part of the film,

00:49:23.949 --> 00:49:26.030
it's this energy drink. I can't remember what

00:49:26.030 --> 00:49:29.070
it's called now off the top of my head. But the...

00:49:30.579 --> 00:49:33.800
There's a bit where he has to solve the farming

00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:36.320
crisis because they're chucking this energy drink,

00:49:36.380 --> 00:49:38.440
this green liquid, over the plants. Yeah, because

00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:41.039
they felt the water was taking too much of the

00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:43.920
market share. Yeah. That everything has become

00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:45.480
this energy drink. And one of the things he does

00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.239
is tell people they should change it for water.

00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:49.460
And then half the people get fired because all

00:49:49.460 --> 00:49:51.340
the stock of this company go down because they're

00:49:51.340 --> 00:49:53.820
not using it anymore. Anyway. I thought that

00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:56.380
was a small bit, was going to be a small bit

00:49:56.380 --> 00:49:58.760
of like some kind of big thing of him finding

00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:01.800
all these things wrong. Like the way that you

00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:04.000
see it in like trailers, it's almost like he's

00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.679
just walking through life and stumbling upon

00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.760
these instances, like a small farming family

00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:13.300
who are using energy drink instead of water.

00:50:13.380 --> 00:50:15.119
So he helps them out. And then he was going to

00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:17.440
stumble upon something else and stumble. Not

00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:19.519
this grand, I'm going to become the president

00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.360
kind of scenario. And actually the water crisis.

00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.579
was the only thing he was solving. That was it.

00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:27.760
That was it because it solves everything else.

00:50:27.940 --> 00:50:30.980
Which I think is the wrong step. I think they

00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:33.820
went too big with that. And actually, they could

00:50:33.820 --> 00:50:36.099
have done it as if he's some kind of Jesus character

00:50:36.099 --> 00:50:40.579
going around and solving all these weird problems

00:50:40.579 --> 00:50:42.679
and people talking about, oh my God, he changed

00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:44.980
it. These people are too thick to do medicine.

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.019
So it's like coming around and putting a plaster

00:50:47.019 --> 00:50:50.090
on someone and then not dying. Yeah. Well, the

00:50:50.090 --> 00:50:52.210
receptionist just had this big machine and it

00:50:52.210 --> 00:50:54.170
was like pictures of what was wrong and she had

00:50:54.170 --> 00:50:56.389
to guess based on what he was saying. Yeah, so

00:50:56.389 --> 00:50:59.409
you've got broken leg picture, broken arm picture,

00:50:59.670 --> 00:51:03.170
gunshot wound, things like that. And again, quite

00:51:03.170 --> 00:51:07.269
a novel idea, but it just fell flat. Didn't realise,

00:51:07.389 --> 00:51:09.250
did you watch any of the post -credits? There

00:51:09.250 --> 00:51:11.550
was one post -credits scene. Yeah, I didn't.

00:51:11.570 --> 00:51:14.429
So Upgrade emerges from a third pod, apparently.

00:51:14.670 --> 00:51:18.070
Yeah, so Upgrade is the ladies' pimp. Oh, which

00:51:18.070 --> 00:51:21.420
was quite a fun... joke actually yeah i didn't

00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:23.420
find it funny but i enjoyed that it was very

00:51:23.420 --> 00:51:26.219
sweet so yeah throughout the entirety of it joe's

00:51:26.219 --> 00:51:28.059
so innocent that he believes this prostitute

00:51:28.059 --> 00:51:31.019
genuinely is an artist because she sarcastically

00:51:31.019 --> 00:51:34.199
says she's an artist yeah um and her pimp was

00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:37.599
her boyfriend who was also her manager yeah so

00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:39.199
he was like i don't think you should have really

00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:41.619
your boyfriend be your manager for your art career

00:51:41.619 --> 00:51:45.519
which is a silly little thing it was sweet it

00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:48.389
may i think it made joe seem sweet Yeah, it did.

00:51:48.550 --> 00:51:52.030
And that's one of the redeeming features of it,

00:51:52.110 --> 00:51:56.650
I think. But then for every redeeming feature

00:51:56.650 --> 00:51:59.570
there is, which there really aren't many, there's

00:51:59.570 --> 00:52:02.570
just another joke that lands flat. So the whole

00:52:02.570 --> 00:52:06.210
Fuddruckers joke, where the name changes and

00:52:06.210 --> 00:52:08.210
then it's just buttfuckers. It's buttfuckers.

00:52:08.210 --> 00:52:10.329
You saw it in Marloff. It wasn't even remotely

00:52:10.329 --> 00:52:12.889
funny. You know, all the happy endings for all

00:52:12.889 --> 00:52:15.929
the different things. for men to have because

00:52:15.929 --> 00:52:17.590
everyone's obsessed with sex did you notice that

00:52:17.590 --> 00:52:20.030
in cost was it by costco had all the the different

00:52:20.030 --> 00:52:23.489
shops inside it and all of them said like happy

00:52:23.489 --> 00:52:25.969
ending and all these other oh yeah so so all

00:52:25.969 --> 00:52:28.090
the businesses there are the brands that we all

00:52:28.090 --> 00:52:29.969
know like starbucks and stuff like that but they're

00:52:29.969 --> 00:52:32.929
just all all whores they're all places yeah or

00:52:32.929 --> 00:52:35.530
the the rochambeau that was happening constantly

00:52:35.530 --> 00:52:38.070
because the actor was in that show yeah in the

00:52:38.070 --> 00:52:41.860
again not funny No. I didn't really get it. Well,

00:52:42.019 --> 00:52:44.539
it's a take on the joke The Simpsons did. If

00:52:44.539 --> 00:52:45.980
you remember, there's an episode of The Simpsons

00:52:45.980 --> 00:52:50.260
where they invite a film critic to Springfield

00:52:50.260 --> 00:52:55.119
and Homer gets to be a judge and all he wants

00:52:55.119 --> 00:52:58.079
to vote for is football to the groin. Oh, God,

00:52:58.099 --> 00:52:59.840
yeah, I remember that, yeah. And that's the entire

00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:02.900
joke. But they did it brilliantly because they

00:53:02.900 --> 00:53:05.159
play on the fact that Homer has to make the decision

00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:08.409
between something he genuinely finds funny. but

00:53:08.409 --> 00:53:12.170
realizes that it's shit and that he's actually

00:53:12.170 --> 00:53:13.949
got to look at the merit of the other films.

00:53:14.010 --> 00:53:17.869
I thought the point of this was when you see

00:53:17.869 --> 00:53:20.809
famous people in real life, they're not who they're

00:53:20.809 --> 00:53:23.530
portraying on screen. So you wouldn't go up to,

00:53:23.550 --> 00:53:27.190
I don't know, Keanu Reeves and start thinking

00:53:27.190 --> 00:53:29.929
he was Neo. He wouldn't start talking to him

00:53:29.929 --> 00:53:33.309
like he was Neo. Like this guy, he plays someone

00:53:33.309 --> 00:53:35.389
who kicks people in the bollocks on his show.

00:53:35.650 --> 00:53:37.110
Doesn't mean you should run up to him and kick

00:53:37.110 --> 00:53:39.289
him in the bollocks. It happens to him like twice.

00:53:39.369 --> 00:53:40.989
And they do the joke twice, don't they? To this

00:53:40.989 --> 00:53:43.250
poor bloke. Yeah, at least. I think it might

00:53:43.250 --> 00:53:46.510
be even three times. Didn't find it funny. No.

00:53:46.570 --> 00:53:48.389
And I like, I think, I think kicking someone

00:53:48.389 --> 00:53:50.309
in the bollocks is funny. I didn't think it was

00:53:50.309 --> 00:53:57.239
funny in this film. I quite liked the idea. that

00:53:57.239 --> 00:53:59.860
all the various Secretaries of State, Secretary

00:53:59.860 --> 00:54:02.840
of Defence, are all there because they won a

00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:05.860
competition. I think only one of them won a competition,

00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:07.860
the kid, I thought. Oh, was it the kid? I thought

00:54:07.860 --> 00:54:10.320
all of them. He was drinking Jack Daniels from

00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:13.480
a bottle later on, which was interesting. Yeah,

00:54:13.579 --> 00:54:18.380
that's true. So I quite like that, yeah, you've

00:54:18.380 --> 00:54:20.900
got all these various people running the country

00:54:20.900 --> 00:54:23.019
that, again, have no idea. And again, it's a

00:54:23.019 --> 00:54:25.840
portrayal of what... People somewhat think of

00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:27.760
politics and we don't talk about politics, but

00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:32.079
even that was limited in its range. It could

00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:34.659
have been had so much more done with it. It could

00:54:34.659 --> 00:54:36.440
have had him, like you say, go and tweet to them.

00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:38.760
Have you thought about doing it like this? And

00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:40.380
then you could just have a scene with them going

00:54:40.380 --> 00:54:42.719
and looking around and trying what Joe said,

00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.820
seeing it work and go, oh, and then take credit

00:54:45.820 --> 00:54:48.800
for it. But then they made that whole thing better

00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.400
for them there and whatever. It would have been

00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:54.719
good to have got an idea. you know what would

00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:57.000
have been funny right what would have absolutely

00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.800
been funnier joe at some point just going well

00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:02.460
what happened to england what happened to france

00:55:02.460 --> 00:55:04.599
what happened to australia and just them saying

00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:07.420
oh they don't talk to us no more and literally

00:55:07.420 --> 00:55:09.920
just have a quick scene but and everywhere else

00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:12.300
is absolutely normal yeah it's just like yeah

00:55:12.300 --> 00:55:14.860
and just everywhere it's got signs i don't talk

00:55:14.860 --> 00:55:19.199
to america don't answer the phone exactly america's

00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:20.840
you could have just had something like that so

00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:22.380
the rest of the world are like yeah no we're

00:55:22.380 --> 00:55:24.809
not going down that route Yeah. So you could

00:55:24.809 --> 00:55:26.409
have had that in there, and that would have been

00:55:26.409 --> 00:55:29.190
funnier than the vast majority of this film.

00:55:29.590 --> 00:55:31.550
Hang on, 001, isn't that what you put when you're

00:55:31.550 --> 00:55:33.670
in America to call England? No, 001 is, yeah,

00:55:33.710 --> 00:55:36.289
as an American number. Here's a little quiz for

00:55:36.289 --> 00:55:39.309
you. What's the name of the two cars in the battle

00:55:39.309 --> 00:55:42.210
scene? Not the big third one. Oh, the dildozer.

00:55:42.429 --> 00:55:51.480
Yeah. And the... Oh, shit. ass blaster the ass

00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:57.500
blaster yes not funny no not funny quite i will

00:55:57.500 --> 00:56:00.400
admit I snickered at the fact that they then

00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.340
have this third one where they're all going,

00:56:02.420 --> 00:56:04.780
he's gone bigger, he's gone better. And it literally

00:56:04.780 --> 00:56:06.539
just can't get the door. It just collapses and

00:56:06.539 --> 00:56:11.960
dies. I chuckled at that too. I did. I thought,

00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:13.880
actually, you know what? That's quite funny.

00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:15.659
Because it went forward and reversed a couple

00:56:15.659 --> 00:56:17.500
of times and the whole thing just crushed it.

00:56:17.619 --> 00:56:21.619
Yeah. Until Big Supreme got out of it. Beef Supreme.

00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:24.949
Beef Supreme. That was fucking stupid. It was

00:56:24.949 --> 00:56:26.329
really fucking stupid. Sorry, everyone. I think

00:56:26.329 --> 00:56:27.670
I've been a little bit far away from the mic

00:56:27.670 --> 00:56:29.349
for a little bit there. I hope that's not getting

00:56:29.349 --> 00:56:33.809
caught up. Borne... Brondos, isn't it? Brandos.

00:56:34.969 --> 00:56:37.989
Brondos. Got electrolytes. It's got electrolytes.

00:56:37.989 --> 00:56:39.929
Yeah, it's got electrolytes. It's what plants

00:56:39.929 --> 00:56:43.010
crave. To be fair, that bit was quite funny.

00:56:43.050 --> 00:56:45.929
You saying it just made me laugh. Why are you

00:56:45.929 --> 00:56:49.369
giving it to them? It's got electrolytes. Plants

00:56:49.369 --> 00:56:51.750
crave it. Yeah, it's what plants need. But why

00:56:51.750 --> 00:56:56.320
are you giving it? Plants. crave it yeah braundo's

00:56:56.320 --> 00:57:01.099
got electrolytes it's but even they did it for

00:57:01.099 --> 00:57:05.559
too long yeah there's little aspects of it this

00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:09.019
is why it's good on tiktok or on youtube shorts

00:57:09.019 --> 00:57:11.500
because there are little bits of it that are

00:57:11.500 --> 00:57:14.670
good in their own little bottled environments

00:57:14.670 --> 00:57:17.809
but as soon as you put it into tiktok as soon

00:57:17.809 --> 00:57:19.869
as you put it into an hour and 24 minutes and

00:57:19.869 --> 00:57:22.190
all together where the story is not very good

00:57:22.190 --> 00:57:24.469
there's so many other bits that aren't funny

00:57:24.469 --> 00:57:26.989
the bits that are funny just get washed away

00:57:26.989 --> 00:57:31.949
you know the that whole bit where he's at the

00:57:31.949 --> 00:57:35.289
farm with the the green goo coming out of the

00:57:35.289 --> 00:57:38.210
taps that's a cool little thing and it does interest

00:57:38.210 --> 00:57:40.960
you to watch it you know that electrolyte bit

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:44.780
would be a funny tiktok yeah that's it just that

00:57:44.780 --> 00:57:47.780
bit but as i said before the clip of him when

00:57:47.780 --> 00:57:50.099
he gets arrested and where his first time he

00:57:50.099 --> 00:57:51.880
escapes from prison he just says i know i'm meant

00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:53.800
to be i'm meant to be coming out so they go you're

00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:57.500
on the wrong line dick yeah that was good that's

00:57:57.500 --> 00:58:03.880
interesting or the um when he's having his iq

00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:06.119
tested And I've got it here. If you have one

00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:08.059
bucket that contains two gallons and another

00:58:08.059 --> 00:58:10.820
bucket that contains seven gallons, how many

00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:19.659
buckets do you have? Two. So, yeah. I think,

00:58:19.780 --> 00:58:24.960
personally, I wonder if it was massively, massively

00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:34.699
cut back or he was forced to change it. I don't

00:58:34.699 --> 00:58:36.820
know. Because it's so different than all of his

00:58:36.820 --> 00:58:41.699
other stuff. Because he clearly can do good shows.

00:58:42.300 --> 00:58:44.900
Absolutely clearly can. So what went wrong with

00:58:44.900 --> 00:58:48.000
this one? What was it? Was the studio interfering

00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:49.360
with it? I'm sure there's going to be something.

00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.679
Just quickly before we go too deep in that, another

00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.719
little bit that I did quite enjoy when it had

00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:58.800
the two newscasters both really attractive. people

00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:00.920
what dude with no clothes on and the woman with

00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:03.639
like a corset on and the little screen comes

00:59:03.639 --> 00:59:05.519
up in the corner of the reporter at the courthouse

00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:08.420
and the news reporter turns the wrong way to

00:59:08.420 --> 00:59:11.219
look at the screen yeah that i found that funny

00:59:11.219 --> 00:59:15.199
no exactly little bits like that it's just the

00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.599
rest of it it was too much it would have made

00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:21.059
a far better film not being a film and being

00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:25.420
sketches little sketches for an ongoing sketch

00:59:25.420 --> 00:59:29.340
show so yeah joe in the future and um just have

00:59:29.340 --> 00:59:33.940
have it as that weirdly it rates 6 .5 on imdb

00:59:33.940 --> 00:59:38.639
yeah i'm not sure what i think of that it's i'm

00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:41.519
struggling because i think it's worse i don't

00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:43.559
think it deserves it i think it's worse than

00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:46.400
that and i mean we've seen some shit and i know

00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:48.900
we've seen things and we don't agree with scores

00:59:48.900 --> 00:59:52.190
all the time but for once I really don't agree

00:59:52.190 --> 00:59:54.570
with this score. I know with what's going on

00:59:54.570 --> 00:59:56.869
recently over in America and fucking Trump and

00:59:56.869 --> 01:00:00.369
all that stuff, you could argue that this is

01:00:00.369 --> 01:00:04.909
more some sort of spoof documentary on what's

01:00:04.909 --> 01:00:07.989
going to happen out there. Well, I mean, look,

01:00:08.070 --> 01:00:11.110
this film is nearly 20 years old. Yeah, 18 years

01:00:11.110 --> 01:00:12.210
old. Next year it'll be 20 years old. It's legal.

01:00:12.889 --> 01:00:18.630
It feels like at this point... it should be cult

01:00:18.630 --> 01:00:21.369
classic -esque, in which point you can ignore

01:00:21.369 --> 01:00:23.710
the ratings, in my opinion. But I don't think

01:00:23.710 --> 01:00:25.710
it's at that point. This is it. Which means,

01:00:25.889 --> 01:00:28.269
in my view, it never will. It got a limited theatrical

01:00:28.269 --> 01:00:31.929
release. Fox weren't happy with it, but allegedly

01:00:31.929 --> 01:00:36.929
reviewers thought it was good. I don't get it.

01:00:36.989 --> 01:00:42.489
I'm genuinely lost. I felt this is not the standard

01:00:42.489 --> 01:00:45.130
of film we normally watch. even though we've

01:00:45.130 --> 01:00:48.969
just watched yeah but they were bad bad because

01:00:48.969 --> 01:00:51.389
they were knowingly bad they were attempting

01:00:51.389 --> 01:00:53.630
to be good and bad whereas this was never attempting

01:00:53.630 --> 01:00:55.809
to be this was trying to be good a blockbuster

01:00:55.809 --> 01:00:58.090
it was just meant to be we're trying to give

01:00:58.090 --> 01:01:01.730
you a fun film but unfortunately that doesn't

01:01:01.730 --> 01:01:03.869
always work and it missed yeah absolutely big

01:01:03.869 --> 01:01:14.989
time that's a shame Transfer complete. Well,

01:01:15.090 --> 01:01:18.949
next time, it's a film that shouldn't be missing

01:01:18.949 --> 01:01:21.090
the mark. I've seen it multiple times. I really

01:01:21.090 --> 01:01:25.889
like it. You've seen it, I'm sure. 1997's film,

01:01:26.110 --> 01:01:30.010
The Fifth Element. Multipass? Yeah, starring

01:01:30.010 --> 01:01:32.989
Bruce Willis, Mila Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Ian

01:01:32.989 --> 01:01:35.949
Holmes, Chris Tucker. I would say it's got to

01:01:35.949 --> 01:01:40.309
be... Luke Perry. Who else? Mila Jovovich's first

01:01:40.309 --> 01:01:42.980
role, or one of her. Maybe Lee Evans is in it

01:01:42.980 --> 01:01:46.199
as well, obviously. Oh, yes. Yes, he is. Who

01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:49.519
else we've got here? John Neville. We've got,

01:01:49.519 --> 01:01:53.400
who else people might know? Me just going based

01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.280
on their photos and I'm at the end of the list.

01:01:55.960 --> 01:01:58.500
Yeah, lots and lots of people. I think this film

01:01:58.500 --> 01:02:00.639
is brilliant. We may have spoken about this before.

01:02:00.699 --> 01:02:02.159
I think we've spoken about the practical effects

01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:04.039
before because we were linking it to another

01:02:04.039 --> 01:02:07.840
movie because I was convinced that the weird

01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:10.599
creatures in this. must have been created by

01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:12.039
the same person who made something else that

01:02:12.039 --> 01:02:16.139
we watched uh yeah that was it i linked it to

01:02:16.139 --> 01:02:18.820
galaxy quest because i thought the creature design

01:02:18.820 --> 01:02:21.179
in galaxy quest also did the creature designs

01:02:21.179 --> 01:02:23.159
in this they didn't they just happened to be

01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:25.420
really similar you know the lizard man in galaxy

01:02:25.420 --> 01:02:28.000
yeah i thought he looked very similar to some

01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.380
of the character designs in this uh but yeah

01:02:30.380 --> 01:02:33.840
fifth element absolutely brilliant film really

01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:36.940
looking forward to watching that again how long

01:02:36.940 --> 01:02:40.780
is it um Two hours, six minutes. Two hours. Oh,

01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:42.039
that's quite long. I don't remember being that

01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:47.059
long. Yeah. Anyway, that's the next one. The

01:02:47.059 --> 01:02:52.699
fifth. Good choice. Command functions are offline.

01:02:54.619 --> 01:02:57.780
So that's it. I do hope everyone can actually

01:02:57.780 --> 01:03:00.000
hear me. And I haven't been too far away from

01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:01.739
the microphone. I've been slouching, been miles

01:03:01.739 --> 01:03:06.780
away from it. Sorry. So, firstly, thank you to

01:03:06.780 --> 01:03:09.659

01:03:15.980 --> 01:03:18.519
useless with names. Don't take that as me being

01:03:18.519 --> 01:03:22.099
horrible. I genuinely, genuinely really appreciate

01:03:22.099 --> 01:03:24.099

01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:35.119
couple of things and i can only think of one

01:06:35.119 --> 01:06:36.599
of them now which is why i was going to say hang

01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:38.159
on but the one thing that we need to talk about

01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:41.480
is event horizon isn't actually getting a sequel

01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:46.880
we all misunderstood that oh hang on is this

01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:52.619
a correction it's no oh yeah go on i saw it I'm

01:06:52.619 --> 01:06:54.579
going to do corrections here. Karen hasn't sent

01:06:54.579 --> 01:06:58.300
me anyone's letters. Everyone basically that

01:06:58.300 --> 01:07:00.179
we know that was talking about it going, oh,

01:07:00.179 --> 01:07:02.440
it would be really good. It's already happened

01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:06.639
and it's graphic novels. Oh. It's someone releasing

01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:10.480
a series of graphic novels explaining what happened

01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:14.519
before Event Horizon and they're on the third

01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:16.800
or fourth and all of these articles that you've

01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:20.329
seen headlines for going. prequel going to go

01:07:20.329 --> 01:07:22.869
back to all the gore and whatever else is because

01:07:22.869 --> 01:07:25.110
it's a graphic novel so they are they are going

01:07:25.110 --> 01:07:29.489
full -on blood guts hell and everything well

01:07:29.489 --> 01:07:31.130
i'm glad that they are doing it how it should

01:07:31.130 --> 01:07:33.130
be done it's a shame it wouldn't be another film

01:07:33.130 --> 01:07:37.630
but yeah i mean don't don't hold out hope but

01:07:37.630 --> 01:07:39.909

01:07:39.909 --> 01:07:42.670

01:07:42.670 --> 01:07:44.809
and read yeah it's all of those articles we've

01:07:44.809 --> 01:07:47.760

graphic novel. Ah, okay. Do -do -do -do -do -do
