hey so what's the tech you should be looking forward to in 2019 and once and for all what's the best Christmas movie well hey what's going on everybody welcome to CNET's nope sorry the debate show where I Jeff Bakalar argue with my friends and colleagues over three rounds of dead serious debate joining me on today's program is I as act our host of alphabet city and all of those YouTube videos you love so very much welcome Aya's thanks for having it's a damn pleasure all right here's how the game works we've got three rounds and three topics is and I will debate each topic and we will receive five points that are up for grabs for each round who's assigning those points you asked well it's none other than our moustached long-haired friend you know him from Dazed and Confused mr. Nick Henry what's up Nick hey Jeff how's it going buddy oh it's going great you know I'm excited to be here let's get to the first round we flipped a coin before the show started Aya's is gonna go first in the first and third round mr. Henry lead us off please pour the first round as you guys know 2019 is coming up pretty soon it's it's a parent oh yeah and there's some stuff coming out next year that we already know about for this round you have to pick one piece of tech that you should care about in 2019 90 seconds on the clock far away okay Andriy origami proteins all were made better by folding now folding phones are gonna be the future it's gonna take a stagnant product these boring devices that we all carry and it would be much larger and way more fun larger batteries and as large device that fits in your pocket folding phones for the future and would be amazing in 2019 okay all right that sounds fine I'm not so sure how much a bigger battery is something I want to be looking forward to in 2019 I am cautiously emphasis on the cautious I'm cautiously optimistic about the notion of 5g just because I want to get rid of my internet provider at home they will remain nameless but I hate them and I want them to die a fiery death because they are slow and they are way behind the competition and it's a damn monopoly where I live let's get rid of the monopolies let's enter the world of 5g where it doesn't matter where you live hopefully as long as you're within some sort of range of receiving that high-speed the Exede know you can get that that internet over the air and it can be your home internet and you don't have to worry about it I am hoping I am praying that 5g has some kind of legitimate presence in 2019 I look cautiously optimistic I know it's gonna take a while the rollout but let's go 5g don't don't don't depressed I think 2019 is gonna be the year budget all right we'll see well we'll see what happens what happened there mr. Nick Henry I as is excited for folding phones I think that's something really different and I think he made some pretty good points of why that would actually be a good thing other than it just mean a gimmick but you made some nice points with 5g too and I am I understand your frustration with internet companies I think izes was just a little more positive a little bit more future thinking so I'm gonna do three two ayahs and two two Jeff Bakalar okay fair enough now I just need to be positive to make Nick happy okay now the new year is all about being positive at least at the beginning oh I'm sure I'm sure Tory 19 is gonna be super positive all right three to two after one round I will be leading off this next topic what's it gonna be mr. Mitch Kramer all right for round two we just said 2019 is all about being positive but we're gonna flip that right away what piece of tech do you hope meets its end in 2019 90 seconds on the clock take it away all right I am hoping and praying for the death of all kinds of activation codes I'm talking two-factor authentication I'm talking put this code in to activate your HBO subscription I don't want to email anyone back I don't want to verify anything I don't want to get texted a code I don't want to get figure out a new goddamn way I am so sick of doing this why are we living which 2019 and we have to fumble around with our phones just to confirm that I'm the person all that stuff is nonsense too because it is the most hackable sim swapping capable stuff ever I don't want to activate anything get rid of these alphanumeric codes I feel like we're you know I sure as don't want to do eyes I never again want to click on a tile where all the traffic lights are I don't want to do that well I'm this is the future well guess what the future sucks I share your rage about the activation codes but my rage is set for fax machines because I freaking hate these things still exist when somebody tells you hey you send it by fast they might as well tell you get a carrier pigeon you can do it but why it's 2018 the no 2019 and we still got these idiotic things going through these thermal printers why why can't somebody take their phone scan it and send it it's such a waste of time and every time I have to communicate with another person goes back to me I want to say another f-word no look I'm with you with that but it's it's lawyers lawyers are the reason they're still fax machines I'm telling you they're like they're in love with them Donna it's like big fax machine I don't know anyway what do you think they're mr. fax machine well I think both of you guys have dealt with a lot more lawyers in 2018 than me which is surprising but uh I liked both of your arguments I am frustrated by both of these things I think yeah I factor she's really really grounding your gears yeah that's all I was gonna say I think I use activation codes a bit more than fax machines and I think most people would say that as well and it is a very annoying thing you said that it was very hackable though Jeff and I feel like this is a step that's kind of needed right now in 2019 to prevent hacks as much as possible so to say that is hackable without any actual concrete evidence I thought was a little problematic I liked izes carrier pigeon reference so I'm gonna have to give three points to Jeff and two points to is oh man all right it's 5:00 5:00 we're tied up it's a dead heat that's the best kind of nope sorry you could ask for round three is gonna decide who takes this one home I is gonna go first with the topic Nick what is it all right sudden death round we we you know we've stuck in this this tech round for the first two rounds which you know as you know I'm like a huge tech guy but for this third round we're sticking with the with the holiday spirit what is the best Christmas movie mine is the 12 dogs of Christmas but I am NOT in this debate so 90 seconds on the clock go greatest movie of all time clearly gremlins because it's got the best mix of or comedy and a huge moral lesson for all the kids never dress up the Santa Clause and go down a chimney or you'll end up like he became its dad it is the greatest story that's told within the movie and there are gremlins in it the title is fantastic if you didn't know what you're gonna get you have some weird stuff going on plus it takes place during Christmas what else would you watch like it's a wonderful life which actually plays in the movie so it's definitely a Christmas movie so anybody saying it's not a Christmas movie you're wrong no that's a Christmas so I think that's my point on gremlins for now okay I think the best Christmas movie is a little film called Trading Places it's an 80s film it's arguably one of the finest comedies of the last 40 years it has an amazing cast you've got dan Aykroyd you've got Eddie Murphy you've got Jamie Lee Curtis you've got some cameos here and there not only does it include one of the most ridiculous Santa Clause poor trails in the history of movies where Dan Aykroyd is like a drunk psychotic Santa Claus who's like who's got a gun and he's like stuffing salmon in his pants it is an amazing film not to mention surrounded by the whole Christmas spirit the bad guys wind up getting what's coming to them in that film good prevails it teaches a good lesson and it teaches an amazing economics in stock market lesson to boot that people still talk about those man's inhumanity to man we did what it's overcome its overcome its its overcome Nick Henry what's the best Christmas movie this was tough they're both fine movies you guys both argued them very well I was gonna say Jeff was again going a little too negative but then he said the message was good the message spread the Christmas cheer the show he kind of saved himself there however I think I has argued that gremlins are such a unique movie and it shows it's a wonderful life within the movie so it's got this kind of meta you know one like modern Christmas movies so therefore I'm given the round two is three two is very close I went if there was decimal points it would be like a two point seven two two professional points don't exist on this show Nick you and I both know that very well eight to seven is the final score I as Akhtar is your winner for this episode of nope sorry what did he win gets what I guess you want some drew I shampoo oh wow I've always seen this like on television to the stars that's the best that's Nick Henry trying to tell us something I guess look at those look at those locks though who could argue with that that's gonna do it for this episode of nope sorry if you want to submit a topic for us to debate on the next program please leave a comment in the section below until next time thanks for watching oh yeah mr. Kramer we're looking for you pal
