WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:02.490 From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is 00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:05.370 Clint. And I'm Stretch, and this is Prevailing 00:00:05.370 --> 00:00:19.269 Strange. This instalment of Prevailing Strange 00:00:19.269 --> 00:00:21.609 is what we like to call Rant and Sundry, where 00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:23.469 we round out the week by touching on some of 00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:25.329 the subjects that we've previously gone over, 00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:28.570 and follow wherever the tangents take us. If 00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:29.969 you like what you're watching here, guys, please 00:00:29.969 --> 00:00:31.550 like, comment, subscribe, do the thing, share 00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:33.450 us around, look at our face, laugh at us, tell 00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:36.729 us we're dicks. You didn't see that coming, did 00:00:36.729 --> 00:00:38.289 you? No, I did not. I thought that was the intro. 00:00:38.729 --> 00:00:42.030 I thought we were already in. We're in. Wow. 00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:44.310 Well, I was just talking to you about some sick 00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:46.649 shit. I was ranting about you about some sick 00:00:46.649 --> 00:00:49.450 music, and then we come into the fucking episode. 00:00:49.869 --> 00:00:54.369 I thought we were already recording. No. No. 00:00:55.409 --> 00:00:59.869 Clearly we weren't. Oh, you know what? How good's 00:00:59.869 --> 00:01:03.329 wetting your whistle? Please stop making those 00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:09.510 noises. What the fuck is wrong with you? I don't 00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:12.530 know. Tell me about your name. Oh, you've been 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:16.689 smoking? No. Why'd you cough then? Because I've 00:01:16.689 --> 00:01:19.450 been fucking machining cast iron all week. Why? 00:01:21.290 --> 00:01:24.810 Because it's your job. Because they pay me. Fair 00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:28.620 enough. Yeah. You know what? I wish that we could 00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:32.040 get paid for doing something that we enjoy. Maybe 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.219 one day. It would be lovely. It would be nice. 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.780 Sell our souls. I was thinking that maybe next 00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:42.099 year, once the shed's up and stuff, we could 00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:48.219 replace this segment with a live Twitch maybe. 00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:51.680 Ooh. So it would be us talking shit while playing 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.519 games. Dude, I'm fucking down. I've been playing 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.489 this new game, Ark Raiders, bro. Mm -hmm. Fucking, 00:01:57.549 --> 00:02:02.609 it's a looter shooter. It's so good. So the story 00:02:02.609 --> 00:02:06.250 goes we've been pushed underground by machines. 00:02:07.569 --> 00:02:09.330 They've all built their own little robotic thing 00:02:09.330 --> 00:02:11.949 and taken over the world. Some of these machines, 00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:16.789 man, like city blocks large and they're all like 00:02:16.789 --> 00:02:18.909 spiders and you see them. You're running around 00:02:18.909 --> 00:02:20.330 the maps and shit and you can see them in the 00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:22.810 distance just in hazy shadow like they're way 00:02:22.810 --> 00:02:26.180 back. But the scale of them is huge. So you've 00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:30.259 got to go to the surface and roam around these 00:02:30.259 --> 00:02:33.199 maps collecting stuff to take back down and then 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.879 you sell it. It becomes a commodity, things down 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.139 to apricots and seeds and stuff like that, all 00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:44.240 the way up to guns, ammunition. And then you've 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.400 got to extract. So you've got to get to a designated 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.240 extraction zone and then they suck you back down 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.689 the elevator. Yeah, right. But you've got to 00:02:53.689 --> 00:02:58.069 dodge other people because it's PvP and you've 00:02:58.069 --> 00:03:00.810 got these robots that walk around and fly around 00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:03.870 and shit. Nice. I was thinking more along the 00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:06.150 lines of some of these indie four -player co 00:03:06.150 --> 00:03:08.210 -op games where you've got to all fucking do 00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:15.009 shit. Yeah, the hilarity ensues. Like horror 00:03:15.009 --> 00:03:18.189 ones or that? No, no, no. Do you want to know 00:03:18.189 --> 00:03:20.990 why I'd hate fucking horror games? Why? Because 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:23.789 they're immersive and you get – horror games 00:03:23.789 --> 00:03:26.430 are worse than movies. Horror games are worse 00:03:26.430 --> 00:03:28.849 than anything. It'd be great content. Fucking 00:03:28.849 --> 00:03:30.870 worse than anything. Have you ever played – We'll 00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.169 have random guests on because it's four player. 00:03:33.310 --> 00:03:35.770 No, no. Fuck off. Don't go putting something 00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:37.990 on because I can't fucking sort it out later 00:03:37.990 --> 00:03:39.830 in the fucking – Hang on a minute. I'm just going 00:03:39.830 --> 00:03:42.080 to open Steam here. And I'm going to show you 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.900 this horror game I've got that I play in virtual 00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:46.979 reality. It's fucked. Is it the Mortuary one? 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.500 No. I want to play that one. No, it's Phasmagoria. 00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:57.120 Phasmagoria? Phasmagoria. Phasmagoria? Phasmagoria 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.699 is a word, I believe. But, dude, it's virtual 00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:06.360 reality. I'm so interesting. And you're a ghost 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.319 hunter and you go into houses and you've got 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.159 to. find these ghosts and you've got to figure 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.120 out why they're there, what sort of entity it 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.620 is, and then, again, you've got to get out. But 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:22.399 you can cleanse it as well, but you've got all 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.060 these different things like, you know, you've 00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:29.180 got your ghost boxes and you're fucking, no. 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.660 But the worst part is you're in virtual reality. 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.740 So you're walking around and what you're doing 00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:36.139 is this, and then all of a sudden a fucking hand 00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:37.980 will come out of nowhere and grab your face and 00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:41.269 you're dead. And then you become a ghost. All 00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:43.730 right. And if you're with your friends, you can 00:04:43.730 --> 00:04:48.449 haunt them. Yeah, there's some pretty good little 00:04:48.449 --> 00:04:50.910 indie four -player ones where you've got, there's 00:04:50.910 --> 00:04:54.069 one, RV. Mario Kart, Mario Kart, Mario Kart. 00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:57.310 RV there yet? So it's four of yous are going 00:04:57.310 --> 00:04:59.529 camping and you've got to, like, fucking guide 00:04:59.529 --> 00:05:02.410 each other through fucking the trails and shit 00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:04.910 and it's, like, really kind of low -budget looking, 00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:08.189 but it's just. cunts yelling at each other because 00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:11.430 nobody's doing the right thing. Sounds like. 00:05:11.589 --> 00:05:15.089 Could you imagine getting Clem on there and somebody 00:05:15.089 --> 00:05:18.069 else to play games with us? But Clem knows exactly 00:05:18.069 --> 00:05:21.110 everything about the game and he's just sitting 00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:23.170 in the back going, you cunts are fucking stupid. 00:05:24.529 --> 00:05:28.009 The scathing. Yeah. You probably won't want to 00:05:28.009 --> 00:05:30.509 put his face on it. No. Just be the voice. Yeah. 00:05:30.709 --> 00:05:36.089 You fucking morons. Oh. No, because I know the 00:05:36.089 --> 00:05:41.730 rules of the fucking game. Yeah, stuff like that. 00:05:41.750 --> 00:05:42.649 I think it would be fun. I reckon that would 00:05:42.649 --> 00:05:44.730 be cool. With the D &D clan, that would be sick. 00:05:45.990 --> 00:05:48.810 Yeah. Without Ranger, because fuck me dead, dude. 00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:57.389 No, you have to have Ranger. You have to. We'd 00:05:57.389 --> 00:05:59.329 have to put Alicia on Lingy. If we can work into 00:05:59.329 --> 00:06:01.829 his schedule. We'd definitely have to put Alicia 00:06:01.829 --> 00:06:06.519 on Lingy. Yeah, it could be fun. I reckon that'd 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.579 be sick. Mm -hmm. Do you think it'd be sick? 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.899 We're going to do it anyway. Yeah, fine. It doesn't 00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:14.519 matter. Who are we kidding? Yeah, who are we 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.480 kidding? Yeah, and that way, like, you know, 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.939 we'd just fucking do it on Twitch, just upload 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:23.019 the entire fucking session to YouTube once we're 00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:26.399 done, and then just probably get some clips out 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:27.980 of it. That would be funny. Fuck yeah. Sweet 00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:30.879 ass. Why Twitch? Because we don't have enough 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.639 followers on YouTube to do it on YouTube. Oh, 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.279 yeah. Hurry up. We don't want to stream on Twitch, 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.439 do we? Yeah, man. Fucking, yeah. But Twitch does 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.319 silly things. Like? Like if nobody's typing. 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:47.759 Can't get your tits out or shit like that. No, 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.319 no, no. If you're not typing in chat, Twitch 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.800 doesn't consider you a watcher. So you have to 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.240 interact in chat for Twitch. So you've still 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.379 got to sit there and watch their ads, but you 00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:03.860 can't just sit there and watch a content creator. 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.579 You have to interact. Unless you pay. Isn't there 00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:08.540 a fucking, I don't know, as a viewer, you can 00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:10.680 watch Twitch without the ads and shit? No, no, 00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:14.699 no. It's the content creator, his views aren't 00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:19.240 going up because there could be 90 people watching, 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.420 but the candle will only say like 40 because 00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:26.670 no one's interacting in the chat. Or if, you 00:07:26.670 --> 00:07:28.509 know, you put that on a larger scale, if that 00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:32.250 was 9 ,000 people watching but only 4 ,000 people 00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:35.589 saying, that's a lot. Yeah. 90 is more than we're 00:07:35.589 --> 00:07:40.310 getting now. 90 is more. Yeah. I don't know. 00:07:40.410 --> 00:07:43.310 These are all things. We're not even. We've gone 00:07:43.310 --> 00:07:46.589 viral on a couple. Yeah, on jokes. That's not 00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:50.670 really the main premise of this show. No. We're 00:07:50.670 --> 00:07:54.180 reeling them in. Oh, yeah. We'll sucker punch 00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:56.360 him with some fucking content later. Dude, we, 00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:59.980 you know what would be also cool? If when we 00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:02.779 did the live streaming things, we just spoke 00:08:02.779 --> 00:08:05.139 shit about like conspiracy theories and stuff. 00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:07.019 Man, it could go anywhere. I love conspiracy 00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:09.420 theories. It could go anywhere. And you know 00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:13.279 what we'll do? We'll get a teleprompter. Because 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.339 that'll make us look fancy. Yeah, I don't know. 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.399 But I'm guessing you will be at home. I will 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.560 be at home. Everyone will be. Doing their thing 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.699 from their own spot. Oh, so not from the dungeons 00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:29.540 or the shed. I'll be in the shed. You'll be behind. 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.500 How come? Well, I mean, I think just the setup. 00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:36.580 Would that be hard to do? No. I think you just 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.059 all have to log into the game and you would have 00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:42.259 an OBS, I'd have an OBS. Whoever's playing with 00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:44.720 us wouldn't. So we just screen record what we're 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:50.720 fucking doing. And either both of us have. Or 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.799 logged into the fucking Twitch. I don't know. 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.379 I've got to look into this shit. Could it be 00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:59.179 done? Could be done, yeah. All right, fantastic. 00:08:59.539 --> 00:09:02.120 Sign me up. I'm keen. I've just got to get this 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.980 shit sorted. I started wrecking it this weekend. 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:12.000 What day? Probably tomorrow morning. Are you 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.360 excited? Hell yeah. Are you? Well, I haven't 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.559 got that many free weekends between now and Christmas, 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.700 and I want it up before the new year, so. Yes, 00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:24.639 dude. So I need to get a chunk of it done this 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.539 weekend so I can do stuff through the week after 00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:30.559 work. Is it just you and Endine do it? Probably 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:35.320 just I. Why? Man, it's not that hard. Why haven't 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:40.000 you? No. No. No, I will not stand for this. Man, 00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:42.759 it's that small. We'd probably get in each other's 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:48.419 way. No. No. No. It's over six metres long. No, 00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:50.340 it's not. There it is. No, it's not. Six metres. 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.500 It's 5 .2. 5 .2 by 3 .8. Nice. The internal room 00:09:56.500 --> 00:10:00.139 will be 3 .6 by 5. Nice. Which is the size of 00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:02.840 the living area that we play D &D in. Hell yeah. 00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:06.379 I'm going to build a table for D &D and for the 00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:13.840 podcast. Shit's going to steamroll. Snowball. 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:21.350 Snowball. Yeah, snowball. Yes. Well, look. I'll 00:10:21.350 --> 00:10:25.710 help. Yeah. You better let me. And I'll get fucking 00:10:25.710 --> 00:10:28.049 Uncle Dave. Uncle Dave will work through the 00:10:28.049 --> 00:10:30.549 weekend. Yeah. We'll get B -Pop to come around 00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:37.610 and whinge at us. Branch can be foreman. Honestly, 00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:41.250 I don't, like, if I had a day to put aside, I'd 00:10:41.250 --> 00:10:43.190 probably get a heap of people around, but I don't. 00:10:43.190 --> 00:10:45.029 I've got part days and there's no point in getting 00:10:45.029 --> 00:10:47.309 people around just to do small shit. What are 00:10:47.309 --> 00:10:50.809 you doing tomorrow? We'll be. Recting the uprights, 00:10:50.809 --> 00:10:56.710 probably fucking squaring everything up and might 00:10:56.710 --> 00:11:00.509 put the roof on. I don't know. Depends. I'll 00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:04.409 come help. You don't have a say. I'm going to 00:11:04.409 --> 00:11:06.309 wake you. If the weather's okay tomorrow, I'm 00:11:06.309 --> 00:11:08.350 going to take a little dirt bike ride and then 00:11:08.350 --> 00:11:12.750 you have no say. Fair enough. I can only get 00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:17.190 so far tomorrow because I don't have any, what 00:11:17.190 --> 00:11:20.100 do you call it? Sarking. I'm going to buy some 00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:26.600 sarking. Some sarking. Oh. Lucky we don't want 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.379 to watch that right now. We'll wait until it 00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:33.179 restarts. Yeah. Sarking. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the 00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:35.879 fucking waterproof shit that goes underneath. 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.460 That's one layer of insulation, and then I'll 00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:42.120 insulate the walls with thicker shit. Yeah, that's 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.580 getting loud. And then I will align the walls 00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:54.200 with zip rock. Did you ever, speaking about Thomas 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.340 Jane, because we were just talking about 1922, 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.759 did you watch The Expanse? No. I've heard so 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.759 much about it, dude. Everybody tells me to watch 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.899 it, but I haven't seen it. Two seasons, right? 00:12:07.179 --> 00:12:11.200 Mm -mm. Five? Five seasons. And they finish with 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.980 a movie. Is that that one? Or am I thinking of 00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:17.019 something else? Is there a movie? How did they 00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:18.860 finish it? They finished it earlier than the 00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:20.879 books. I don't think there's a movie. I don't 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.840 know what they did. I can't remember. I don't 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.500 think I've even seen the books anywhere. Yeah. 00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:32.179 There's nine books and six novellas. It's a solid 00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:36.240 series. It's good. Is it? Even the show? Yeah. 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.240 I haven't seen it. Well worth checking out. I 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.360 want to give it my top. It's so much. Like, and 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.360 especially maybe we're talking about how much 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.860 content's coming out to our end of this year 00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:49.940 and the start of next year. It just keeps coming. 00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:53.360 Oh, yeah. It keeps rolling. What I like about 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.980 it is how, so it's not too far in the future, 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.399 but just far enough that, you know, we've colonised 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.960 Mars. Mars and Earth have had a war, a fight. 00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:08.220 Everything's settled down. They've colonised 00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:13.899 the asteroid belt. Yep. And there's like outposts 00:13:13.899 --> 00:13:17.240 on Europa and shit like that. Then some fucking 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.639 funky shit happens. But it all starts with Thomas 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.460 Jane's character is one of the main characters 00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.360 and he's like a detective and something goes 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:29.539 down and he's kind of neo -noir kind of detective 00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:34.779 and kind of, yeah, it's very cool. But then the 00:13:34.779 --> 00:13:40.340 science in it is all legit. Yeah, right. They 00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:43.759 talk about how, like, the Gs of doing manoeuvres 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.940 and how wherever they're travelling to there's 00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:49.139 a midpoint where they've got to do the turn and 00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:53.480 burn and decelerate the entire, like, because 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.360 you can't, you've got to decelerate as much as 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.759 you've sped up. Yeah. So they get to the midway 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:02.919 point, flip, burn and slow down. Yeah. And, yeah, 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.539 just all the science is really fucking spot on 00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:08.820 in it. And they talk about how... You know, all 00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:10.980 these humans that have grown up in the belt who 00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:14.600 have grown up with little to no gravity. They're 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.039 all taller, skinnier because they've had no compression 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.299 from the fucking... Fucking air. Yeah, it's pretty 00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:24.360 cool. And do you meet these people? Yeah, yeah, 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.820 yeah. Yeah, right. There's the belters, they 00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.360 call them, from the belt. And then you've got 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.980 Mars, which is like a military state. They have 00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:36.110 all the real cool tech. Yeah, right. And then 00:14:36.110 --> 00:14:38.929 there's Earth, which is the mother of this whole 00:14:38.929 --> 00:14:42.830 system. And then there's some alien shenanigans 00:14:42.830 --> 00:14:47.289 go on. Yeah. Yeah, it gets real cool. So it was 00:14:47.289 --> 00:14:52.429 with Syfy, the channel that is on Foxtel. I think 00:14:52.429 --> 00:14:54.769 it's a channel over in the States. Yep. And they 00:14:54.769 --> 00:14:57.590 did well with it, did really well. But then they 00:14:57.590 --> 00:15:01.669 canned it and it got picked up by Netflix. Right. 00:15:03.929 --> 00:15:06.250 I love when they do that. Yeah, the next series, 00:15:06.450 --> 00:15:08.850 like the next season, took place on a planet 00:15:08.850 --> 00:15:12.629 where there was, you know, for the first three, 00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:16.669 maybe four seasons, it was all indoors, very 00:15:16.669 --> 00:15:19.929 kind of claustrophobic because they're in spaceships 00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:22.929 and shit like that. Very rarely, if you saw a 00:15:22.929 --> 00:15:25.409 planet, it was Earth and it was very computer 00:15:25.409 --> 00:15:28.149 generated and whatnot. But then you could tell 00:15:28.149 --> 00:15:30.529 the difference in the cinematography in the new 00:15:30.529 --> 00:15:32.309 season when they're on this planet and it looked 00:15:32.309 --> 00:15:36.049 like a volcanic ash but, like, dormant planet. 00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:41.750 Fuck, yeah. Really cool. I like it. Dude, see, 00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:44.570 that's in my wheelhouse. Like, I love sci -fi, 00:15:44.629 --> 00:15:46.690 dude, and good sci -fi. And the fact that I haven't 00:15:46.690 --> 00:15:50.490 seen it pisses me off. And the books are great. 00:15:51.269 --> 00:15:53.769 But it's all on Netflix, isn't it? I believe 00:15:53.769 --> 00:15:55.330 it's all on Netflix now because they bought it. 00:15:55.450 --> 00:15:58.620 Yeah, fuck, yeah. They had all the back to season 00:15:58.620 --> 00:16:01.080 one. And then put their Netflix original tag 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:06.039 up front. Probably. And it was a series, the 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:09.399 book ended great. The series and the book ended 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:13.500 great? The TV show they did different. They ended 00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:16.559 it early. Right, okay. But they ended at a point 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.500 where things shift in the books. Yeah, right. 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.980 But where they ended the book, how they ended 00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:24.600 the books was great. I really liked it. It was 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.840 a good ending. Should I watch the series and 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.159 then read the books from the end of the series 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:37.200 to the end? Would that make sense? I would say 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.440 watch it at least the first season before you 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.159 start reading them because then you get the picture 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.940 of everybody in your head. I like that. Even 00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:48.679 like when I listen to Ready Player One now, like 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.600 I've got the visual. Oh, no, I don't. No, I hated 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.299 that movie. Did you really? Yeah, they fucked 00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:58.240 it. They did. Yeah. They did. You could have 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.860 easily got a fucking trilogy out of that. Yeah, 00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:04.440 could have. Usually. Purely out of spite. I hate 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.859 that movie. I love it. I love that movie. I'm 00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:10.599 happy for you. And it gives me great joy. However, 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.000 the book is sensational. You give me, if you 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.160 give me three movies, the first key, the first. 00:17:20.829 --> 00:17:24.049 Like you get the first egg, first key, second 00:17:24.049 --> 00:17:27.910 egg, second key, third egg, third key, and then 00:17:27.910 --> 00:17:31.490 you do your finale. Would have been fucking incredible. 00:17:31.829 --> 00:17:33.950 Would have been. Would have been way better than 00:17:33.950 --> 00:17:36.170 Lord of the Rings. You know me. I don't re -watch 00:17:36.170 --> 00:17:39.329 or re -read stuff. I've listened to the book 00:17:39.329 --> 00:17:42.289 and read it twice. Yeah. It's that good. It's 00:17:42.289 --> 00:17:45.250 fucking that good. Yeah. Second one was a bit 00:17:45.250 --> 00:17:48.220 weird. I'm not going to read it. Read it. No. 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.500 It's still good. No, no, no. That first one is 00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:53.279 perfect as it is. And see, but that's why it 00:17:53.279 --> 00:18:02.380 could have just stayed that. The Martian. Substantial. 00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:04.940 Beautiful. Still one of the best audiobooks I've 00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:08.359 ever heard. Yeah. Narrated by the best narrator 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:13.460 on earth, R .C. Abray. And the movie, one and 00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:17.059 done. Done perfectly, dude. That movie is epic. 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.430 Yeah. It's not epic. It is epic. I loved it. 00:18:21.670 --> 00:18:27.190 So, yeah, I agree. Do I want to see more Ready 00:18:27.190 --> 00:18:29.950 Player One on the screen? I'd love a reboot and 00:18:29.950 --> 00:18:33.509 I'd love it to be done right. If HBO picked it 00:18:33.509 --> 00:18:37.190 up. Oh, it just came. I mean, I just got excited. 00:18:37.390 --> 00:18:40.170 And they did it like on the level that they did 00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:42.309 in the books. I know for a lot of people it would 00:18:42.309 --> 00:18:46.319 kind of be boring. Like especially the Pac -Man 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.579 scene. Yeah, where he's trying to get the perfect 00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:53.039 game. Perfect game. I reckon if you had the right 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.359 people, you could make that scene interesting. 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.039 Dude, even if you did like a time -lapse, like 00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:01.180 there's a zoom in around him, like the old retro, 00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:03.420 like he's just banging on the game, it'd be sick. 00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:07.000 Like you don't have to have it running like the 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.180 amount of games he's playing. And the soundtrack 00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:13.700 could be sick. Oh, my God. Dude. I mean, a lot 00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:17.059 of people know Rush. You could get some sick 00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:20.220 Rush happening and get into the mainstream. I 00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:23.759 think it would work well. Dude, that'd be so 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.519 shit. That'd be shit hot. Yeah, I'm like, shit, 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.720 no, I think it'd be good. That'd be amazing. 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:35.480 HBO, we know yous don't watch us. Manifest it. 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:40.539 Manifest. Come on. Speaking about books, I'd... 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.660 I don't really reread. I have reread some stuff. 00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:48.720 There's a book that, have I ever told you about 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.000 House of Leaves? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I just, 00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:55.940 I ordered the hardcover. They've done a re -release 00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:57.640 with a hardcover with colour and stuff in it 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:02.039 because it's got pictures in the appendix in 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.740 the back, which is like evidence from the whole 00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:07.099 thing that goes in it. So coloured stuff, it's 00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:11.509 pictures. But there's three different. in the 00:20:11.509 --> 00:20:16.450 book. So there's three different fonts and they've 00:20:16.450 --> 00:20:20.430 got coloured fonts in this as well to kind of 00:20:20.430 --> 00:20:26.910 break it up because it's a deep book. Why would 00:20:26.910 --> 00:20:32.609 you say it's a deep book and why? So the book 00:20:32.609 --> 00:20:37.990 is about this fella who has a pretty rough life. 00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:42.180 On the droves, off the droves, fucking whatever. 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.359 Anyway, he's looking for an apartment and he 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.720 finds this trunk in this apartment which has 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.140 all this fucking crazy writings and stuff, but 00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:54.559 then like a diary and shit. So it's him reading 00:20:54.559 --> 00:21:02.220 about the last person who had started looking 00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:10.400 into a documentary based on... An event. So there's 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.099 kind of four levels. So you're getting his voice, 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.039 the dude, the druggie dude. You've got footnotes 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.640 from the guy who he's reading and rewriting. 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:26.200 Yep. And then you've got, like, excerpts from 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:31.859 this documentary. Fucking hell. About this experience 00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:34.240 that they had in this house. So you get bits 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.259 of their story as well. So, yeah, four layers. 00:21:37.950 --> 00:21:42.130 And, like, as you're reading the book, it starts 00:21:42.130 --> 00:21:46.930 off all neat and tidy and kind of concise and 00:21:46.930 --> 00:21:49.190 working out well and you're getting a feel for 00:21:49.190 --> 00:21:51.849 the story and, you know, the levels and where 00:21:51.849 --> 00:21:56.210 everybody stands and stuff. And then by about 00:21:56.210 --> 00:21:59.789 the middle of the second act, he's fucking losing 00:21:59.789 --> 00:22:02.410 it. And the guy who he's reading has obviously 00:22:02.410 --> 00:22:05.559 lost it from his writings. He's beginning to 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:08.220 lose it and then it shows in the text in the 00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:10.900 way it's formatted and pages where it's written 00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:15.160 like. Fuck off. And then upside down and you've 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.900 got to turn the book around and like things are 00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:20.779 written like one word a page for like 10 pages 00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:24.460 and then it's like a descent into madness and 00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:27.519 it kind of goes along with the main story that 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:29.900 they're talking about this house. So the house 00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:37.269 is about. It's a dude who's a photographer, always 00:22:37.269 --> 00:22:41.410 been away from his family, like shooting pictures 00:22:41.410 --> 00:22:44.029 in the wars and like kind of all over the world 00:22:44.029 --> 00:22:45.910 for National Geographic and shit like that. His 00:22:45.910 --> 00:22:50.329 wife's younger, hot, kind of like a socialite, 00:22:50.369 --> 00:22:55.170 but he's kind of repressed her into like being 00:22:55.170 --> 00:22:57.630 a mother to their children, but he's never home. 00:22:58.450 --> 00:23:02.910 So they move into this place kind of rural -ish. 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.779 And they get this house and things aren't great 00:23:07.779 --> 00:23:09.599 with them, but that's why they've kind of moved 00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:13.579 out there. And then there's a door that wasn't 00:23:13.579 --> 00:23:18.420 there before. And then he's like, okay, there's 00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:20.599 a space in between these two doors that wasn't 00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.099 there before. And then he's measuring the inside 00:23:22.099 --> 00:23:23.759 of the house and it doesn't match the outside 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.839 of the house. And then, okay, so he gets in contact 00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.539 with his brother, his twin brother, who he hasn't 00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.960 talked to for a long time. They had a falling 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.990 out. who is actually a contractor, kind of good 00:23:34.990 --> 00:23:37.130 with all this shit. It's about time I'm in that 00:23:37.130 --> 00:23:38.769 bridge, get him in there, and they're fucking 00:23:38.769 --> 00:23:43.009 talking, and the brothers, obviously, the, you 00:23:43.009 --> 00:23:46.190 know, he's a tradie, doesn't have a family, bit 00:23:46.190 --> 00:23:50.250 of a drunkie, whatever, drunkle, to all my kids 00:23:50.250 --> 00:23:51.990 and stuff like that, so he's kind of happy to 00:23:51.990 --> 00:23:53.490 be there and just be talking to his brother and 00:23:53.490 --> 00:23:54.730 stuff, and they're trying to figure out what's 00:23:54.730 --> 00:23:56.730 going on with his house, and then another door 00:23:56.730 --> 00:24:00.309 opens, and it just goes off into nothing, and 00:24:00.309 --> 00:24:03.099 then they get, like, these university professors 00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:07.460 and people in to explore it and some big characters 00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:11.660 come in and kind of wanted, you know, this new 00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:14.359 frontier and this fucking weird kind of paranormal 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.960 thing going on. Why is there fucking, like, stories 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.279 and stories below the ground and, like, everything's 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.859 black? Has this ever been made into a movie or 00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:27.460 a show? They couldn't. They could not. Why? Impossible. 00:24:28.309 --> 00:24:31.250 It's just that deep? Yeah, and I can't wait to 00:24:31.250 --> 00:24:33.309 reread it. I'm waiting until winter. I read it 00:24:33.309 --> 00:24:34.910 in the winter. I'm going to read it a year later. 00:24:35.329 --> 00:24:37.769 Is it that good? Oh, man, it's an experience. 00:24:38.890 --> 00:24:40.710 There's no audio book to it. You've got to read 00:24:40.710 --> 00:24:44.029 it. How big is this book? She's thick. She's 00:24:44.029 --> 00:24:47.329 pretty thick. But in saying that it's thick, 00:24:47.430 --> 00:24:49.630 there's plenty of pages in there. A little one 00:24:49.630 --> 00:24:53.750 word. One word. And, like, you've got to constantly 00:24:53.750 --> 00:24:56.240 flip back to the appendix because it. fucking 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.920 refers to it in the fucking footnotes and shit 00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:04.880 like that. And then trying to decipher the footnotes 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.720 is pretty fun too. Like some of them I think 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:10.980 I've heard of that and then others are just obviously 00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:14.119 completely made up so they're fucking from textbooks 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.920 within this world that don't relate to the real 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:22.180 world and, yeah, it's heavy, dude. It's a heavy 00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:25.079 fucking read. And it's just one book. One book, 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.339 yeah. House of leaves. Fucking Jesus. Not L -E 00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:31.079 -A, like not leaves of a tree, but like leaves, 00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:34.740 but leaving. That doesn't make sense. Is it spelled 00:25:34.740 --> 00:25:37.460 the same way? Leaves? Yes. It is? Okay. Fuck, 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:39.920 I don't know. I don't know then. Is it leaving, 00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:42.240 like house of leaving, or is it house of leaves 00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:44.460 because it's rural? Or is it both? Toronto Maple 00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:48.119 Leaf. Or is it both because then that adds complexity 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.420 to the whole thing as well? I don't know. I don't 00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:54.220 know. All I know is it's the Toronto Maple Leaf. 00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:59.519 Yeah, true. Yeah, I had my head leave as in L 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.079 -E -A -F -S. No, that doesn't sound right. As 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.599 soon as I said it, I'm like, no, you fucking 00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:09.240 idiot. But, yeah, no, good book. This is why 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.140 we don't want your kids to watch this show, guys. 00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:13.619 You don't want to learn shit from us. Yeah, no, 00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:18.019 because I hadn't done. We. Hey, I'm as dumb as 00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:23.640 you. You think you are. Thanks, mate. You're 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:28.420 welcome. Got your back, bro. Look, that sounds 00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:32.539 fucking nuts and something that I think I'd have 00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:39.559 a stroke at and not the good kind. I might give 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:44.440 it a whirl and I may put it down. Yeah, fair. 00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:48.500 How long does it take you to read it? I mean, 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.960 I read it when I could. Probably took me two 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.410 weeks to read it. Is it? Is it well written to 00:26:56.410 --> 00:26:58.450 the point where it's easy to follow or it's a 00:26:58.450 --> 00:27:04.490 brain fuckery? There's a reason I want to reread 00:27:04.490 --> 00:27:07.950 it. You think you missed some shit? I think I 00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:12.490 could figure more stuff out. I probably have 00:27:12.490 --> 00:27:14.690 missed stuff in it, but yeah. I love that about 00:27:14.690 --> 00:27:17.730 books, dude. Like I've read the Harry Potter 00:27:17.730 --> 00:27:21.210 series twice and the second time is just so much 00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:23.559 better. Yeah. So I think the third time might 00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:27.000 be fucking great too. See, that's the thing. 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.539 Like when I listen to that book or I read that 00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:36.740 book, it's awesome. When I read Lord of the Rings, 00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:45.480 I felt fucking retarded. Why? Because it wasn't 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.700 written for kids. Yeah. It just wasn't. I don't 00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:53.170 know. I discovered Harry Potter later in life. 00:27:53.309 --> 00:28:02.029 I was probably 32, 33 when I found it. So I've 00:28:02.029 --> 00:28:05.450 got love all the way from Philosopher's Stone 00:28:05.450 --> 00:28:09.109 all the way through. I love sitting down. If 00:28:09.109 --> 00:28:12.029 it's raining, Harry Potter goes on the TV, and 00:28:12.029 --> 00:28:13.710 we all just sit down and do a Harry Potter marathon, 00:28:13.890 --> 00:28:17.549 start from the start and at the end. I've never 00:28:17.549 --> 00:28:19.609 sort of sat down and by choice watched The Lord 00:28:19.609 --> 00:28:23.710 of the Rings. Oh, dude. I can't do it. See, you 00:28:23.710 --> 00:28:27.809 described that cosy indoor day. That's Fellowship 00:28:27.809 --> 00:28:29.490 of the Ring for me. That's too much of a slog. 00:28:30.190 --> 00:28:34.769 Oh. Yeah. No. Yeah. It warms the cockles in my 00:28:34.769 --> 00:28:37.930 heart. It'll warm your cockle, I tell you. It's 00:28:37.930 --> 00:28:40.349 the same as the book. The book is fantastic, 00:28:40.650 --> 00:28:44.819 man. There's something about it, the way... His 00:28:44.819 --> 00:28:49.339 words roll. Come on now. They do. Yeah, roll 00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:52.480 off a fucking cliff. Like poetry. Yeah, or what? 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:59.759 My black cat. Woo, poetry. Fuck off. Don't start 00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.240 with me about poetry. Okay, cool. Have you not 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.680 watched Slam Poetry? Fuck off. I'm not talking 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.160 about Slam Poetry. Stop it. It's got poetry in 00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.789 it. That's not what I'm talking about and you 00:29:12.789 --> 00:29:19.569 know it. Do you know who does great poetry? Yeah, 00:29:19.569 --> 00:29:23.970 dudes are fucking rage wild. He, dude. Drew does, 00:29:24.130 --> 00:29:27.609 yeah. He is fucking good. He is good. Absolutely. 00:29:28.569 --> 00:29:32.670 But Lord of the Rings is not poetry. Stop it. 00:29:33.650 --> 00:29:36.430 Just, you know what I'm like. I love fucking 00:29:36.430 --> 00:29:38.930 world building. I love the depth of fucking. 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:44.480 The world he's created. Look, oi, okay, I'll 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.680 pay that. Yeah. It is an incredible world he's 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.059 created. And, like, nobody did elves like he 00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:54.680 did until he did elves. You wouldn't have elves 00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.240 like you do in D &D if you didn't have Tolkien. 00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.640 You reckon? 100%. You wouldn't have the wars. 00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:06.099 When was that, 27? No, it was after, yeah, it 00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:08.910 might have been. Yeah. Is that when it came out, 00:30:08.950 --> 00:30:11.529 27? Oh, I don't know. You're testing me there. 00:30:12.470 --> 00:30:16.650 After the First World War, I know that. Well, 00:30:16.650 --> 00:30:21.210 it'll be after that. Oh, 54. 54, okay. There 00:30:21.210 --> 00:30:23.650 are some scenes in that where I'm like, this 00:30:23.650 --> 00:30:28.769 is fucking epic. But there's just so many holes 00:30:28.769 --> 00:30:34.430 that I don't like that piss me off. And this 00:30:34.430 --> 00:30:36.329 is the thing with the whole Peter Jackson thing. 00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:39.940 I know you want to stay faithful to the books, 00:30:40.019 --> 00:30:41.980 in which I'm sure he did. He'd done an unreal 00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:45.839 job. His vision is incredible. His scale is fucking 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.940 untouchable. Well, actually, so a lot of the 00:30:48.940 --> 00:30:53.940 way things look are actually based on a series 00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:57.240 of art made by somebody way before the movies 00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:59.259 were even made. Yeah, right. Yeah, so he took 00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:01.819 his inspiration from this certain artist, which 00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:05.759 I'll put up here somewhere. I forget the name 00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.000 of him. Yeah, right. But, dude, look, it looks 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:13.279 fantastic. I don't like that through all this 00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:15.460 struggle, eagles pick them up off the side of 00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:18.660 a mountain at the end of it. Why? Why didn't 00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:20.319 they just fucking fly the eagles over the top 00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:23.519 of it anyway? You've got to understand. So, like, 00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:27.759 the wizards, like Gandalf and that, they're descended. 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:32.579 They're angels. Right. They're not meant to kind 00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:37.380 of have a direct effect. That's why they kind 00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:40.380 of, they push everyone around them. But see, 00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:43.119 this is the thing. There's the hypocrisy because 00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.779 one of the best scenes in it is, you shall not. 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.480 So he directly interacts with the thing. So the 00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:54.480 Balrog is like their opposite and there's nine 00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:57.339 of them in Middle Earth which shouldn't be in 00:31:57.339 --> 00:32:00.960 Middle Earth. So he's fighting one of his own 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.500 kind basically. Right. Yeah. I'm sure he interacts 00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:09.099 more. He does. He pushes a bit more than he probably 00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:11.579 should have, but it's only because it's directly 00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:14.819 in contradiction to Saruman, who is supposed 00:32:14.819 --> 00:32:17.720 to be the head of their order and was supposed 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.059 to be the one doing the right thing, and then 00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:23.779 he flips. Yeah. So the balance is flipped, so 00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:26.920 then hence why he comes back as the wight. What's 00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:29.859 that got to do with the eagles? Well, he couldn't 00:32:29.859 --> 00:32:32.400 just employ the eagles just to drop the ring 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:36.619 in. The mortals who would inherit Middle Earth 00:32:36.619 --> 00:32:39.680 had to kind of sort out their own shit. You said 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:44.880 the Eagles ethereal. I don't know the Eagles 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.579 story, but they don't meddle with most of what's 00:32:49.579 --> 00:32:53.220 going on. It's only at Gandalf's behalf, really, 00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:55.880 that they do anything. See, if you're interested 00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:58.059 in the balance and you're interested in Iceland, 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.200 they've got fucking flies over on their team. 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.299 Why don't we have flies over on our team? Well, 00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:03.799 I mean, the amount of times the Eagles actually 00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:06.779 do help. Yeah, but that's the thing. They don't 00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:10.500 just drop the ring because, you know. I know 00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:12.759 it would have been a pretty shit story if they 00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:16.720 did. But that's the thing. Like, just don't have 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.700 the Eagles at the end because it's basically 00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:21.740 the only scene you see them. Just don't put them 00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:24.240 in there. It would have been heaps better. He 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.720 has to get out of there somehow. Walk! You motherfuckers, 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.759 just walk there! That's the whole point, is they 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.319 put everything into getting there. They were 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.980 ready to lay down and kind of give it up. The 00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:38.839 Gattaca of it all. Yeah. It was like they were 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.819 ready to lay down their lives and be done with 00:33:41.819 --> 00:33:43.839 the whole thing that they've risked their lives 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:46.880 for. And it's like this miracle that happens 00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:48.980 that they get. And did you notice that in the 00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:53.690 movies they send three eagles to get? Smeagol 00:33:53.690 --> 00:33:57.650 as well, because Gandalf doesn't know that Gollum 00:33:57.650 --> 00:34:00.390 fucking turned on him in the end. No, I didn't 00:34:00.390 --> 00:34:03.490 notice that. There's three eagles, but only two 00:34:03.490 --> 00:34:08.030 survive. Two eagles? No, two of the party that 00:34:08.030 --> 00:34:11.610 made it into. So worried about the eagles. Yeah, 00:34:11.630 --> 00:34:14.429 so, you know, Gandalf was holding out hope that 00:34:14.429 --> 00:34:18.909 fucking Gollum would, you know, be good in the 00:34:18.909 --> 00:34:22.599 end. Looks dead. Looks fantastic. And I will 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.820 show it to my kids for sure. It's, you know, 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:28.900 it's cinema, dude. It doesn't get much bigger 00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:31.980 than that. Yeah. It was a fucking spin out. I 00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:33.840 fucking loved it straight away as soon as it 00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.679 came out. I've never seen anything like it. Oh, 00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:39.159 that's another thing, dude. Nothing was done 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.579 like that ever. Like it kind of harkened back 00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:45.880 to like Dark Crystal and Labyrinth and kind of 00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:51.019 in the depth of. world building and kind of fantasy. 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:54.000 Fucking right, you know. Yeah. That kind of was 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.380 missing for maybe a generation, two generations. 00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:58.320 Yes. And then we get hit with this and it's a 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.539 blockbuster and it blows people's socks off and 00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:04.119 it looks and sounds fantastic. Bro, when was 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:05.880 the last time you seen something like that? Never 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.219 Ending Story, The Dark Crystal. It's all 80s 00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:11.519 and 90s, bro. Exactly. So it was kind of that. 00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:13.920 So then I watched that and I'm like, this is 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.840 what I've been missing in my life. Like I didn't 00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.289 realise there was this gap. So then I went out 00:35:19.289 --> 00:35:23.570 and I read the books and I got to Tom Bombadil 00:35:23.570 --> 00:35:25.769 and I'm like. That's when you came out to your 00:35:25.769 --> 00:35:28.630 parents. I'm like, what the fuck is this? Tom 00:35:28.630 --> 00:35:32.449 Bombadil. And I don't know whether I would have 00:35:32.449 --> 00:35:35.070 preferred to have read it first and then not 00:35:35.070 --> 00:35:38.510 have Tom Bombadil in the show. In the movies. 00:35:38.630 --> 00:35:41.829 He's my favourite bit. Or is it better to be 00:35:41.829 --> 00:35:45.949 kind of like. Maybe I should have read something 00:35:45.949 --> 00:35:48.150 on the internet which I didn't look into it too 00:35:48.150 --> 00:35:50.389 much before I started reading it that, hang on, 00:35:50.409 --> 00:35:53.309 there's this whole section that is missing. Like 00:35:53.309 --> 00:35:57.530 an acid trip? Yeah. Tom Bombadillo, Tom Bombadillo. 00:35:59.809 --> 00:36:08.130 Yeah. But for world building, it is the pinnacle. 00:36:08.610 --> 00:36:13.500 Yeah. In the fantasy realm at least, yeah. Look, 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:19.860 I'm not going to deny that. No, I can't deny 00:36:19.860 --> 00:36:26.260 that. It is pretty special. But I still had no 00:36:26.260 --> 00:36:27.719 idea that said Lord of the Rings at the top. 00:36:30.659 --> 00:36:33.039 Fuck, you get comments about that posted, don't 00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:35.099 you? People love it, yeah. I don't know why. 00:36:35.219 --> 00:36:37.659 These are all fucking weird. I think it's fantastic. 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:40.500 I'm so glad I got it from a 30 -year -old. It's 00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:49.440 fantastic. Where was it? Oh, yeah. Did you pick 00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:53.019 it up out of the garbage or something? No. Fucking 00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:56.260 UFO up there. There's so much hidden in this 00:36:56.260 --> 00:36:59.940 fucking picture, man. Really? Yeah. It's this 00:36:59.940 --> 00:37:02.179 weird little elliptical thing and it's got a 00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:04.559 heap of dots in series over it that looks like 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:10.860 a classic fucking UFO. So the guy that drew this, 00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:14.780 he drew this, I believe he was either as a teenager 00:37:14.780 --> 00:37:22.000 or in college. So he's Irish, I think. And he 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.440 ended up going on to be in a band which was pretty 00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.559 big in Ireland. And one of their big music videos, 00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.699 they got a million dollars in cash, put it in 00:37:32.699 --> 00:37:36.440 a fucking, like a cabin and burned it to the 00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:42.110 ground. Yeah. They got that out, right? No. That 00:37:42.110 --> 00:37:44.449 wasn't real money in there, right? No, no. Jimmy 00:37:44.449 --> 00:37:46.809 Colty, Jimmy Colty, I think his name is. He's 00:37:46.809 --> 00:37:48.929 editing, right? No, no, no. They burnt it as 00:37:48.929 --> 00:37:51.690 like a stunt. They burnt a million dollars. Bro, 00:37:51.750 --> 00:37:54.489 you didn't have to do that. Just make the illusion. 00:37:56.329 --> 00:37:59.809 So I think there's another Lord of the Rings 00:37:59.809 --> 00:38:02.730 image that he did and then a couple of other 00:38:02.730 --> 00:38:05.170 images that he's done. And like he's done other 00:38:05.170 --> 00:38:08.639 stuff, but like pop culture reference wise. Yeah, 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:10.820 the things I've learnt about that since I got 00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:15.039 it, I never even knew it existed. Yeah, if I'd 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.880 have found it in a thrift shop, I thought, oh, 00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:19.519 Jeremy will like that and gave it to me for my 00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.300 30th. I was like, that's fucking sick. Dude, 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.880 so many people commented about it. I think that's 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.280 our most interactive thing. Yeah, yeah. My mum 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.059 had it, my dad had it, I still have it. I had 00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:33.360 it as a kid but lost it, rah, rah, rah, yeah. 00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:36.219 So many times. If anybody reaches out and wants 00:38:36.219 --> 00:38:40.320 it, just contact me and I'll ship it. Just because 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:41.920 it's in your shop doesn't mean it's your fucking 00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:48.039 property. God, no. I would know that. Silly. 00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.980 Well, that's fucking 43 minutes. Holy shit, we've 00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:57.699 talked some shit. Sorry, guys. We'll be right, 00:38:57.820 --> 00:39:00.960 you know. Jumper? It's already a feature film. 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:48.829 No funny business Just give it to me No way. 00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.619 Dude, that was pretty fucking cool. It was funny. 00:41:50.699 --> 00:41:52.059 You were complaining about it at the start, and 00:41:52.059 --> 00:41:54.380 I was going to say, have you noticed that I've 00:41:54.380 --> 00:41:56.159 been doing sci -fi shit instead of fucking horror 00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:57.980 stuff? And all you're going to do is fucking 00:41:57.980 --> 00:42:00.300 whinge about it? No, not at all. What did I whinge 00:42:00.300 --> 00:42:03.639 about? We've seen this. This has been done before. 00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:06.599 It was. It was just X -Men. It was X -Men. It 00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:08.300 was Jump Up. But that was cool. It was cool. 00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:13.960 Like, that was, you think back in 2015, 2016, 00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:18.219 that would have been.
