I keep getting these verizon text messages like notifications and the headline is always usage overage alert okay so you get that and what's your first thing like what do you think first they only charge them right and you see that you're like oh man overage alert what else could it mean now you don't mean that it means I've only done eighty percent of my allotment and and inside the email or the text whatever it is is a link to add more minutes and then spend more money that you don't need it goes it goes hey Jeff you're eighty percent through your voice minutes for your cycle ending November twelfth guess what today is November 12 guess what I'm not going to use twenty percent of in just you know 12 more hours when you want to try though at this point this is cruel use that the whole fat is not screwing them there's got to be a better way the better way is calling them up in like getting them to convince me they had more minutes to my plan recording it and trying to do like a Ryan block thing you could probably do that seems like a waste of your time really yeah wasted my time man so no I just I just leave me and I know it's just like a robot spitting that out but just lay off man just leave me alone it's is gonna lead to you ignoring the real ones at some point right then you that's how they're gonna get you right the one over I chase you're really over ridiculous is that I've yet to see one of those all right well you don't like to live dangerously like I do not yet constantly living on the edge I structuring I'm us are streaming stuff just to see this overage warning it is weird though cuz I've never even come close and I wonder i really like know who if i was talking I don't I don't get it it's all voice minutes I have I only have like four hundred you were using a voice minutes that's the over East thing they were talking about not data no no no where near that hell cares about that I how did you even do that how is it not even just free well you how his voice just not few are clearly on hold with something for a long way dude I've had to I don't stand for that I don't wait I don't do that oh wait you don't Yammer what are you doing on the phone nobody uses the phone app I know like you got it like look around there's actually a payphone by where i live in it's just like this freakish thing it's just like homeless people pee and poop in it well it's not a full one you still couldn't really hey whatever you wanna see how you can do that i'll show you thanks up they what my point my the big takeaway is that voice minutes should be free like you should have unlimited voice no matter what free because all people care abouts data screw the voice no one cares just make calls on data so yeah what do you bother him with i guess i don't know alright i guess I'm the only one who wants to complain about that today thanks for making that an issue you're welcome it's Wednesday November 12 404 time let's start show like shut up verizon shut up leave me alone if you read the news on verizon 18t right now you'd be saying that a lot louder with a lot more swears just shut up how about that AT&T I want to smack with a brick in the head

smart feeling very smart but looking good now thank uh why do you wanna hit eighteen t in the face of the brick oh they stopped out rolling out fiber until the whole net the net neutrality stuff is sussed out instead of giving like awesome speeds to these different places like we're just gonna stop right now while this is going on until all settled images them I'm not defending them mm-hmm but i guess like it does make sense to sort of stop doing something like that until this you know blows over so they know maybe how their how to like is it up their infrastructure me set up the infrastructure at worse you sell it off for lease it's not that big a deal other than its basically a giant fu to every consumer who would like like super fast speeds at home like why do you have to move to Kansas where Google is to get fast speeds at a reasonable price nobody has to move to Kansas I want that to be known they might have to 30 I wouldn't move to Kansas for the Internet I'm getting 50 down 50 up here that's cool Regan 50 up verizon the company i hate different arm they're giving me good internet they just won't leave me alone about text message totally devoid overages

though if you're descending there's like a timeline that only the tweets are good for you gotta do we have like a log of the summer yeah dude it's all been you know which are rated sounds like fun um I think I got some methods already out of Pixie so what so what I'm live without it leading to I'm glad like dr. evil over here what ideas what that's leading to as we'll announce the winners on

right one point twenty-one gigawatts this order feels odd power switch you have the power of a lightning bolt arm and then and then next monday if the legal people get it turned around quick enough we can start actually having people enter the freaking call of duty bundle which is taking that's actually call me they reconnect all again let's get that van jazz time call a duty bundle it's about freakin time we gotta get that as a vanity URL sweet-ass time dot cnet.com early we can get any vanity URL we want we is anything is awesome it's great all right let's uh let's get into the news not a whole lot of news there's um just like a new video streaming service that we didn't talk about at all what videos you heard about so we took the only reason I bring it up the popped in my head because a more Cuban heard of all right Oh Joe right it's it's it's like a couch or like Instagram for video right that's eight seconds of video for anything there's a video service I'm like yes video like social service yeah yeah and what I mean I I only looked at it for a second have you checked it out at all of course not I mean why would I bother with this like enemy okay couch didn't take off this Yippity I think this has a better chance though over vine that 6i because vine is super produced like everyone's made his movies with that right it's like stop motion enemy everyone who takes a vine is like been working on their vine all day it's like all year one vine six seconds so this Oh Joe suppose what not produced is supposed to be just like well so if you don't know Oh Cho is eight in spanish español right so it's eight second videos and you can fill more than eight seconds and ocho the ocho will speed it up and have it fit in that eighth second sort of timetable keep audio keeps audio and you can do audio commentary over it you can do filters you can do uh and then and then you can do this thing were like you follow other ppl gramma done I can still react to how dumb this is but going it's not done because I've it's cool that you can just like follow other ojo words altars a challenge of CHO ins obviously out just what in like stream their videos oh like all you know Lupin right so like let's say I subscribe to 40 people on uh Oh Joe I can enter like the you know the laid-back mode wherever the hell they're going to call it and you just sit there and watch everyone's thing over and over again it's kind of like TV which is like eat with eight second cuts that have nothing to do with you that's that's like channel flipping right no it's like watching mtv now I guess right I have not looked MTV yeah I'm not a mob scene on to this okay tell I just wanted to get it out there it's on I it's for iOS right now and androids coming very soon I think it's a I think it's a better idea than vine because vine turned into this like annoying hipster sort of six second you know I don't know you have to like produce everything make it be like some sort of trick photography that's like pretty much what happened to Twitter right somebody figured out what's the best uses for this I don't know what I chose gonna turn into but it just seems like this it almost sounds like sitting at somebody's home and watching like a slideshow so he's a voiceover of this eighth second video i did it's like I I have no interest in this uh yeah I don't have an opinion you haven't checked it out anyway we want you to check it out and tell us what you think okay let's get to the news we had prepared sorry I threw your curveball there there's a story about discovery channel what would a discovery discover okay well there's this bizarre special that they're going to run on the seventh of December it's called eaten alive there's a guy whose name is Paul Rosalie and his is one desire is to be eaten alive by an anaconda okay and I know he's gonna be wearing a special snake a special suit that allows him not to die while being ingested apparently he's gonna be wearing some kind of like pig's blood or something to make him very attractive HD right sodium tasty is gonna be laying out and hoping the Anaconda just notes take some hole and then I mean I can't imagine the anacondas gonna like survive this ordeal yet that's where the protesters Covenant changed out or they're freaking out there like this is ridiculous not switching this is the dumbest I've ever heard and Paul Rosalie should just be put in jail now before he does something real bad he's already done the spin shot oh cool it's already happened this thing is going to me it's gonna be is gonna air on the seventh and here's the petition to change that organ thing it's got what 20 thousand supporters and they want to have the air in avenal I've stopped they want to boycott the Discovery Channel's it's got a lot of people going nuts but in the actual petition in bold it did take that why taking issue with the event yeah it once again reinforces the negative stereotypes of snakes okay which one would think okay would be the opposite of a discovery should be trying to do well who the hell's doing PR for snakes alright like why somebody taking the throne and being like I got a stick on for snakes I just think this is just a stupid TV show it's stupid on so many levels number one and what first off what the f discovery channel like when did you become this like ridiculous tabloid nonsensical irrelevant per channel between your shark documentaries about on TV documentary I'd aren't even doctor about Megalodon sharks that have been gone from the surf for three million years buncha assholes running that network at this point it seems that way right and now this guy this Paul Rosalie would get decapitated and survive shut up right eye I don't know you'd get some get some bigger dreams I get screen bigger I can see this dumb idea coming out in a brainstorming meeting right you got a bunch of people sitting around you like hey what do you want to do I want to get eaten by an anaconda it's it's this next part that I have trouble with this somebody the room was like that's a good idea we fact that I got greenlit we should actually shoot this oh how are we gonna make this happen I'm gonna need a special suit Amerigo pro inside there girl we're gonna design a suit for this isn't like a guy who survives bear attacks or guy wearing a suit the protection from dogs is a guy who intentionally wants to be eaten by an anaconda makes me so mad what's only happen the movies like what makes we do juice it happened in to Harry Potter's happened in anaconda anaconda which I haven't watched as happened in nightmare elm street or I think we warriors but ice cube is in anaconda ok I love the Caribbean Jennifer Lopez why on earth did somebody say this okay and not just that but we have this thing of the protest the protest is they do have a good spot like later on in the in the in the actual petition pool no matter how it ends this is animal cruelty from start to finish so total sport make total egg with that not just a bad PR person they should have been like on be big he seemingly started like on behalf of the snake community which is not how you you should be pitching this it should be like hey doesn't sound like this an econo is gonna come out the other end okay how does he get out without killing the thing how what are they gonna do like in my head I'm like okay so this this guy's inside the anaconda and then you just like nip the tips and just get him out you know basically in his chip off the ends and then I decide to shake them out we'll see that's into thick like you would you know like a bag and a product just like get out of it get out of human so it's so wait a second you're high tea is to keep them in the tube of the snake the rest of the body chopped off its freaking tail right hop off its head kind of like like like a pillowcase I'm like Fran ago like a poke just like out of it yeah I actually know he would deserve that to get out of it maybe they don't need to kill the Anaconda to do that just hold anaconda upside down just see if the guy will come out because apparently you supposed to go in headfirst too so we've got a wild vision how's that work special suit its oxygen soon every part of the suit real guess he's gotta breathe to write the ideas share that well it's not like it's a fast process oh it's gonna take a freaking while for this thing 203 a lot of wipe dissolves in this radar you the clock wipes this all watch on Ocho uh there you go eight seconds you won't have eight seconds of voiceover and I don't recommend anybody actually do this don't do this on a Joe but that's is this gonna be mean and saying I'm upset he survived now I don't want him to die that's what I mean I think it's me i think i think this because of this guy's i'm gonna say jackassery that's what I'm gonna say this is that's chicory schmuck hurry sure well it's just such a stupid idea he's like it is is tweet if you know me I would never hurt a living thing but you'll have to watch you don't have to see how it goes down but i'm just gonna force this anaconda to regurgitate me get out of here Mordor things if this is successful what do you know it's gonna have a sequel he's like if you know me you know how I always have animals throw me right up you know that you know how I roll you what an ass all in hurt an animal I just wanted to swallow me yeah normal you saw what I did when that hippo Amy yeah I got out real gingerly like there's so what I did we're friends now there's the fake Paul Rosalie account waiting ahead so you saw what happened when i got when i was i said i stuffed myself into that pigeon I was tiny at the time I Shrunk myself down after figuring this out i was in this vision best tweet ever he leaves office I if you know me I would fall Rosalie thank God I don't know you we're all better for not knowing that dude imagine where other stupid I think you know me when that Tiger pulled me apart we wound up you know you know how we were all inside of animals I wasn't expecting much from this story is but I think we got a lot out I think so I mean this is salmon cannon almost man this is that good so John Oliver will be covering this totally momentarily okay let's talk about samsung it's a strange company man absolutely strange strange coming people don't realize it they only see like the consumer-facing end of it or it's all galaxies and gears and all that junk but there is a strange weird source or behind that curtain okay so we've got a rap video from Samsung about corporate diversity normally you get like stats and you get you know like a really boring press release or something with Samsung decided to actually do a video you didn't play the music Jeff yeah I'm gonna play some of this music you upset the video going they'll be a little bit off thing yeah we go one scheme cuz you some to the rescue it means you're freaking here yeah everyone's just listen re all admit this is hot it's forty percent of work forces or a female keeping bursts affect the next to me to work now what's the story behind it's just about giving stats and this guy who did it is a rapper which is actual name a mad clown he's a green wrapper and here tomorrow no you mad clown thank God sounds like a mad clown I mean the lyrics are very impressive I'm you see in the video right now amazing here we go once again sampling to the rest view uh this is when the weirder lines here okay so forty percent or women you don't have to worry about you don't have to worry after giving birth sit back relax no need to work it's all taken care of leave it to us family friendly friendly company with kindergarten that's just like a super ass backwards way of saying we have maternity option that's what it seemed like what is this an odd thing this is it all your woman well you know it's okay sit back and relax um cuz that's what Samsung does this is weird man a release in these sort of pit like you know HR rap videos we need HR evidence again again it's all about like that meeting where they're all like all the important people are sitting down there like this is how we're gonna do it we're gonna get mad clown he's a friend yeah and as we're gonna have him record this this rap video and tell you know quarter of a million people that work for this company all about all about the ongoings and he is rapping in English so which which means it where the audience or the will know so Sam Samsung's got offices here yeah they were offices everywhere so I'm just curious are there more wraps that are in different languages elsewhere today we can only hope i'm hoping this like a comedy we can only is gonna be a country version is gonna be like this is this is this rap version there's gotta be a scar version you know there's a scholar covers I don't get it so is this an internal video like a like their HR video or something like that oh yes is no it is well this is they release this they have a channel on YouTube call samsung tomorrow right oh they want us to see this so they yeah they've this is probably stay they didn't want to keep it public let's drive it it wasn't like somebody with a go look at this thing like those microsoft videos i got out this was released and it even has the tag on the top samsung TV tomorrow like it's what's funny go down go back to lyrics if you go down like the second to last verse it's like a very strange i guess they just couldn't transcribe it well it just sort of says like we're just letting our dreams come true this is what is it there's this it's like make it shine let a smile well well it does actually have two captions so i guess thats i respect that man that's mad real yo it's mad real mad clown oh my clan you keep it so real why are they I think spend money on this don't matter there and they lost some money right there are they losing ground they had a really crappy quarter and maybe this is why they're

just streamline the galaxy line we just offer two phones instead of 30 and then med clowns names up there you know that you know he's an option he's always an option maybe like he's like he's their ultimate plan B when something goes wrong they're like mad clown get out of your box samsung if you're listening and you're not you are uh I have one request and that request is for you to bring mad clown to CES 2015 will have him on the 404 I promise you I'd love to me I wouldn't okay and here's what i'll do i'll throw in i will try to draw this stuff as fast as they do in the video so when he's

clown for his time numbers travel usual rate of twenty dollars an hour these paid in notes Thank Galaxy Notes only no that'd be great though to have mad clown on the stage right dis explain this is like what did they do like hey sir I wonder if he is he like a well-known talent out there no is this like a bad idea look my hip hop barometer sitting 10 feet away intrusion if arias and heard of him guys nothing yeah he's no one yeah I don't know about who's big outside of the US but I sure have never heard of him ever did you know when he was just slightly angry clown maybe and why change his name ornery clown he was just donnery that's a great west LA over this line the day he seems like a man yeah bill of you are it sounds like a medical sounds like a freaking man um alright this is we're gonna end things with a strange story tell us about the tricycle as opposed to the release normal stories talk about yes a normal show the times has your times has his piece about the revival of adults tricycles right there you you when you see a the revival you act like there was once a renaissance apparently there was when it first came out in the 1800 a lot of people took this women took to tricycles because they didn't fall over is a lot easier to ride at the time follow seriously you're right i'm inventing stuff to fall tricycle it very takes a lot of freakin were you gonna have to try yeah you gotta hit occur turn real real hard so Emily Stokes wrote this as she used to have a tricycle back when she was in University no garden okay University episode you may like when she had a fisher-price no practical like when we all have this is a fancy thing called up Ashley which is a British company that makes these bikes and trikes and it was a big deal in the 1880s so she'd started riding this thing around and she was wondering hey I wonder what would happen if I started riding this thing or New York because it seems like it's just prime for revival because apparently emporiums burg its prime for the UK that their people are moving towards tricycles and she's because it's a safety thing I don't know what the draw is cuz iono they're not as fast as a bike there and they're dis ungainly and hard to move like Liam upstairs and stupid you need two people to care the damn thing you ever see one fold up not yet not yet not yet that's the next thing but the idea was she's like well if it caught on in the UK maybe it'll catch on in New York which she makes this huge leap like no that's true hipster started in London is that what happened totally ok yeah you know that no I mean they just called them assholes over there I'm serious did they importa them here yeah we call him hipsters they call them asshole so switch who got pure oh no I'm sorry dick it we got purim dickhead from the UK that's wonderful and so she started to write riding her bike around New York got a lot of looks um doesn't really explain how again this would work but she says this this is a quote from her article we'd all ride tricycles if the world were better if bike lanes were wider and if we weren't in such a hurry trike slow you down then take your mind off of other things in fville asif ain't gonna fly man-- n do you think if the bike lanes were wider now we don't trikes no to definitely not is thinking of this is simply what I do not believe will take off on the island of Manhattan perhaps in Brooklyn you think it would work a little yeah I cancion lends itself to this kind of malarkey yeah but I don't look so some hipster stuff turns into mainstream stump or not the trikes I don't think twice could ever look like I think trikes are doomed like unicycle not making fun of tricycles are cool whatever I get the idea I have terrible balance I could sure I could get on this idea sure this is the idea of like mountain bikes not for me you want to go slow what I have like an area we can like put your groceries and stuff I get it gotcha but where the hell are you in a parka thing what are you gonna do with this and where on earth is there ever been a person who looked cool on a tricycle other than they can in the shine and cool these people don't care about looking cool know what they're trying to do other than what the shining kid on the shining is pretty cool in the most like horror well yeah you know I'm with you man it's it's a strange it's a strange thing Arielle mr. who had his bike stolen recently yes do you think if you had a tricycle an adult tricycle huh it would not have gotten stolen due to the fact it is cumbersome and ridiculous nobody would steal that it's also very identify all you will you will single-handedly thwart bike pilfering that street is add a third wheel on it I don't think this would work anywhere to be honest totally because the the biker community is so like strong and how on bikes in general they even hate city bikes you know anything new entering their bike lane they won't allow it said guarantee no way scooter people and bike people probably don't get along buy a scooter people but on the razor's man know what did I see way too many adults adults I've seen I usually see the them when they're chasing like a kid who's also on this oh no you know I haven't seen people commuting in in razors yeah no yeah dude you re oh I've seen it I've seen in a while though but I have seen it really as the other two votes I seen a lot in San Francisco yes san Francisco's a lot by the fair embrace the rage is real it's real so we would need is uh as there are the tricycle versions of scooters they have ones that too in the back now Oh Who it simply doesn't matter no I don't see I just heard her assumption of like oh yeah we're all right tricycles if the world were better I don't know we wouldn't know but if there's a trike person out there who's super into it let us know uh really you really what you want to open up a lot floodgates gonna do we're gonna have like don't you want to hear like the tricycle ambassador I want to see the picture that tries to go ambassador the guy with the handlebar mustache yeah can't wait for this and a scarf that goes around his face where I can't even see the hose Jack one of those gigantic tricycles the huge front wheel and the two wheels and back what's a good the old-timey bikes it from like family guy I just known as old-timey bikes all your girl old-timey bike I'm gonna find out what they're called right now penny farthing no high wheel hi wheels that's what they are sick pull this up real quick here we go there's the bet yet this has caller home just as you say Tallyho yeah we need that yeah bring that back ya know oh my god it needs more wheels obviously or less girls you don't need a wider bike lane for that velocipede 'used in so you didn't get on that thing and you have to wear that outfit to totally the hat and everything you definitely wear the hat otherwise it doesn't work yes my idol that's part of the balancing whoever thought that that was like practical who was like oh my god let's let's take a running jump running start on to a pole at home oh my sweet macerator nutty's uh somebody who was not thinking clearly obviously and here's a another person with the newsie look yeah seriously he looks like he's uh he's like standing on the corner giving out the newspapers this look thick oh there is a tricycle touring the countryside 1887 Jesus what that's hilarious ok and I said it was ladies ladies thanks for the laugh Wikipedia 866 404 seen it that's the number you can reach out to us over email the 44 @ cnet.com follow us on
