it's Wednesday februari 29 2012 it's the 404 show on cnet TV I'm Jeff Bakalar I'm Steve Guttenberg and I'm Justin you this is the show where we're all young again yep Steve brings the average age to the show down to 22 yeah and with lee p ER we're all turning five years old this year that's it this will be the second anniversary of 40 that's right that's technically the second leap year show we've ever done right but you as Steve's on the show you love crap like this I feel like this is your bread and butter weird sort of cultural you know oddities that afflict people once every 60 years or something that leap is a strange situation a challenge risks for Steve I want you to explain leap year in the simplest way yes okay do it in under three sentences yeah no I'm finding a very hard concept you don't get it I get it ever in 65 days right and we were always 365 days we would be losing right would be a day behind every four years we have to make it up some genius line get out we gotta add a day every day so every four years the bot to me the easiest way to explain it is that it takes the earth 365 days and six hours yeah to rotate around a son all right nailed it and that's what it is like Prometheus I'm just trying to bring it down into terms that even our friend Justin you can dance yes and that's how leap your work so every four years when that remainder equals one day yeah it's got to be 366 that's it why was februari not you know March 32nd or something if you want to get into why Fibby weary gets the short end of the stick and only start to 28 is shortest they're like hey we got a tag on a dish shortest day for one of these months walking around with 32 days can't wait how can they didn't have a couple months with only 29 days instead of just skipping a couple days in February that's what I don't understand because then your check it all out of February's because it's much easier to travel back in time than it is for words and done and can't just head your bed like that you can push surely p ER you need an infographic that is one of the only more allah ki just explained it to you and very easy to understand term nope still don't get it you are you sure horse I get it video but Willie I was about to you know request a lobotomy that's are you over there but anyway it was 40 years ago yeah today yeah April 29 I mean I'm very there we go oh I you know I get these months mixed up I met my first wife velcro and changed the course of my life sure I would be fast year what would happened yeah get in with us get into the detail oui oui so the reason I measured listening to this podcast right I hope I hope not for her sake is well i'm gonna say things would she'd be embarrassed sure though go on way it was it was very warm like it is now yeah it was 65 or 70 degrees and it wasn't like now where it's been warm all along right just like this weird day one day one day a week when I nobly warning 872 it was really really warm right and I was unemployed okay it's knocking so and I was an artist so I got on the subway i lived in far rock i went to just the city i got i offered in the village i went to washington square park with a bunch of my art yeah this would be a perfect day to sell sure so I selling some art and then I see this woman and I walk over to the show of my art and and the rest is history so we gotta get off no way and then we became movie theater projectionists together whoa and she was a musician so she got me into the whole music biz and we built a harpsichord together we did a lot of we got a lot done in three years that is a very heartwarming story this this actually is so i guess thanks to leap year and thanks to that if it wasn't funny seasonal and i did a whole life literally would have been different but absolutely but you got divorced yeah right it had its run and how long were you with her three years three magical years we didn't make it even nasally that's a bummer man no it all worked out all right and you know i guess you're you're better for the you're happily married now I'm happily married yes everyone's fine and dandy yes that's pretty cool man very very strange i have it's just like something happens and then everything changed yeah the butterfly effect right if I weather had been warm that day you had been in Washington but that's really no way to think about things no no and I have a big problem with people who say like well you know if I didn't made out of that cab yeah you know well you know what it that's the way life works life is just a series of choices and random collisions in nature right and you can't think about what would be because that does not exist maybe in some 11th dimension it does but in the universe that we all seem to occupy you can't get into stuff like that you know oh if I like what happens a lot in sports you know oh if he just shot the puck 3 inches more to the left it would went in well he didn't and this is what happened people are a lot of it's a very unromantic way and look at all right I'm in me I'm bringing it down to the United a told this perfectly romantic story no no doc and it's a but it's done thing you're a snowman every solution but but it's you know that's what happened you know and and things happen yeah I don't know I'm a much more sort of like straight for ways half she's happens you know I don't believe you so are you a man who believes in things like destiny no of course not whatever happens exactly so but you like you can go back and say hey wasn't I fortunate sure i guess you can you say stuff like that and it changed your life for the next 10 years well it was the starting point was that it wasn't it was leap year it was that it was februari 29th in a very cold winter and it was really warm that right if it wasn't then everything else that's cool so you can so you can bring it back to that and yeah it's a similar temperature today do you think I should head down to washington square park and find love i think so with your art I have no art though this piece of paper your or four notes on it you got your own my personal are you you are you're a locking art you're a walking talking piece of all right or he's a some poor garbage what do you know this is fine line ah so something's going on with instant messenger just and I are really freaking out over this yeah I've had a screen name that i use for literally 15 plus years yes everyone is like the first handle I ever had it's my xbox handle it's my and is the s-1 the one that the one so that's all that's another guy go after so I can't sign on it's the messenger anymore that name same thing happened to me is knowing that I have been using for about 10 years maybe not as long as you know and then the other day nebo just won't let me sign in thought it was a meebo problem signed on using adium is a very first world problems yeah but no let me sign this is not a first world was devastating because I have a lot of friends and there's still no service that lets you just I am everybody with a screen name I try doing a miix prestes looking at us like we got thousand and you don't know what instant message talking about aim you know AOL Instant as you don't know what that is no sure well for old people so how come you don't know about oh okay but you know what a well is though right you don't know yes I do I used to have it till I so get rid of it you are you're gonna look at me yeah and you're gonna say you don't know it instant messenger is do you chat with your friends online never you've never gotten telephones mmm I mean we all believe in them they exist but do you actually white type when you can talk i want it i want to make fun of Steve for not knowing what AOL Instant Messenger Huff but it's tough because I feel like it's better that he doesn't better I say a good thing that he doesn't know what that is because I did know what would happen because if you did know you probably wouldn't have as many friends as you do now and you have maintained a lot better friendship yeah with someone in person or on the phone yeah and you know you're the you're the type of guy I want to talk to on the phone anyway yeah yeah you're not the type of guy I want to just stop your stories don't even like emails particularly yeah your email recently indicate something like you know meet me at 12 that's cool does an email sure but once it gets more complicated there's the back and forth details I agree just so irritating I'm with you you can clear this up on two seconds on a phone yeah the day-to-day business world is not operate that way anymore imagine the internet existed but Bell yeah never invented the telephone right it's a damn someday we got everything we can actually talk to each other at me while we're typing to it or just 80 just one in it wouldn't advance the technology that would be I guess it really you're right it's like it did knock words it didn't matter what came first you know the horse or the carrier because it was like all right well we're typing we've been typing to each other for a while right right we meant setting Morse code together for sauna it's not yours ok you're right there does seem to be sort of a benefit of a of instant messenger services that you can talk to multiple people at the same time that you're doing other things which now that I'm saying the sentence doesn't sound like a very good thing either no so yeah AOL Instant Messenger was uh they're saying in the 90s that came out right after AOL did so if you didn't want to pay for the full fledged service of AOL you could just sign up for a IM yeah but get a screen name without paying for it right the healing was though but not but that's that's sort of right that don't forget you had it when you signed up for AOL like when you had to choose a screen name when you sign up for a yeah yeah and that became your instant messenger name and then instant and then your buddy list showed up one day in like AOL 2 point 0 or 3 point oh whatever yeah it was and then you're like what's this I can double-click on my friend Bobby and right in and it's supposed to email as opposed to calling him up and being like way oh right uh so needless to say 15 years of using his name and the last 48 hours I've been blocked out of it I'm kind of starting to panic a little but somebody has it any single app from like what cuz identity theft that's not I dare you cuz it's about your friends I've been looking online it's affecting a lot of people yeah right and so I tried using aim express which is like aol's web built sort of version of messenger and it says I'm signing on too many times and that's not yeah that happened to me know what is going on says no no no no one does because it's my passwords like I just changed the password now I'm in there you know no one knows because it's weird that on Monday I try to leave a comment on somebody's face book thing yeah and it wouldn't let me it was like I was locked out of it huh and I thought okay that guy just has some weird thing but i try to do with somebody else in the same thing happened it's still going on no it stopped the next day all right well maybe i should like a little glitch in the matrix in the facebook matrix yeah I'm since I panic a little bit i want to get to the bottom of this anyone can help Justin I this screen name is like super super you know close to me I really want to hold on to this for a while I agree I hope it's not gone forever that was not some kind of like what like langone you're in the server's of a I am that's just like eating up old screen names i don't know i don't know i'm killing me it's like a good theory on I'm sorry get worried I'm gonna be away for weeks over the time I get back it's all fixed yeah I don't know man until then your radio silent dear friends or what I just I mean I do a lot of gchat do a lot of google talk a lot of uh that's I have us I have a cnet screen name i use i also have multiple screen names that i use for different friends some of them if I don't want to talk to them right now cherry pick I was getting scared man maybe I should just make a new screen name yeah pear for the worst I don't know I need like a fallout shelter or something anyway we're boring soon if you guys watch the Academy Award I we did yeah that's good I'm glad I mean I watching a little bit of it I think of basically the academy awards are for old farts well with Billy Crystal getting his cats is best and it was felt like I was at the Neville II but that thing that what do they have last year they had two young host they had James Franco and uh what's an Hathaway yes yeah it is if having them on would make 20-something suddenly be interested in the Academy well it was terrible though because people complain about James Franco being very laksa Daniel yeah an apathetic about the dude is that most movies that are nominated for Academy I don't mean just best picture I mean editing Joan anything these are not movies that 20 year olds go and see you're correct about that right your sitter Academy Award material are for old people well I don't want to say older april i want to say maybe you're not 25 in ocular movies that are you know other than avatar or something they're not movies it right there the people say you know what the MTG leaders words it's in the latest academy it is it tends to be more cerebral those films they tend to be more high drama there when the hurt locker one yeah for best picture i think it didn't want this picture yeah it did really two years ago and i think it had gross like maybe 20 million dollars at that point bread tiny move it is very small know it Best Picture maybe that in other words almost no one actually see right but the people who make these decisions are you know well best picture is voted by the entire Academy right best actors are voted by actors writers isn't it people who only have one academy award before get to vote is now a moment I was like that's messed up a little bit of nepotism the one I don't even like Billy cry that he was fun action on he had a couple good line but I thought his best line was he said you know I see people watching movies on the on their on their phones yes I prefer to see movies on the big screen very my iPad records I'm bad uh yeah he made a couple jokes that seemed to go over the heads of the entire audience which was upsetting like when he would talk about how movies are no longer shot on film for the most part people just like I they just given him you know weird looks that seemed to upset me but yeah I mean I don't know I don't know if they'll be back next year he looked he looked awful feeling when he was talking a lot of art he just looks law jewy guy yeah you know movies is pretty he does not die that and it was with the thing he was wearing was so strange he was wearing this like what really odd tuxedo you know like an old school night Oh didn't look and you know he had you know mr. Feeny's tuxedo who would you pick to who would be the ideal host God Billy Crystal starting to look more and more like his character in The Princess Bride yeah okay did you becoming a caricature looks like the mine he played in spinal tap you know I can tomatoes artificially you know what I mean it just doesn't make it because all that that awful look that's the result of plastic surgery I know that's him trying to look better I know it's not working for a man my knee billion crazy better if you could personally pick if was put it up put up to you who would you take yeah seriously one the haircut away from just looking like this guy that's not bad there would be a better guest I don't know host who you let her holes don't know you Steve out love to show it that would be great need the world's biggest teleprompter but it was their work I think I would go for Gilbert Gottfried no really I think a stand-up he's good he'll stand I like a row via stand-up is currently yeah I I mean personally I think Ricky Gervais does a great job at the Golden Globe yeah people despise him because they're scared to be made fun of and he would just tear the Oscars a new one yeah and it would be great and it would have the best ratings in a decade what about Jimmy Kimmel I feel like Jimmy Kimmel is good he's incendiary has he done that isn't he does he done got nothing some reason that doesn't work you know I can Hawaiian everyone's conduit on him every when Jon Stewart did it hell yeah yeah but I didn't mom either i enjoy Jon Stewart doing it I I would I Letterman bombed on I vote for Conan give it to Conan man let him get back in the saddle and do it he would kill it he's hilarious i think you're him Ricky Gervase I vote for those dudes all right I will talk to people fine you'll get that done we'll take a break more with Steve the gut man's fear Guttenberg after this stick around it's a whole lot more 404 going right after this this is the 404 mr f'ers the show where we all sing songs this is southbury from Jay and you're listening to the 404 where a teacher listens with his class and Peter ha casually drops the f-bomb what could possibly go wrong what's the worst that could happen he did yeah in the pre-show just fine new people say things Wilson would had a coronary I mean I was fun he would have lost his mind it's all good all those nothing those students haven't heard before exactly way worse than or have just said before they got to class right exactly or during class for all we know speaking of f-bombs yeah mastered for itunes is that like master for bullcrap can I do like segways for the rest of my life of Yankee yes Steve you are correct water eyes at me yeah what does that mean really mastered for itunes where are you these are well that does this new thing they're promoting that they making better sounding itunes right that's like Kia coming out with a hundred-thousand-dollar car right it's just like over 100 thousand dollar of Mac yeah Donald Hamburg McDonald you know it's like what what's going on what does it mean do you know what it means it means that Apple has provided guidelines to mastering engineers how to make their recording sound so when you ripping all the audio information out of that track right here's how to do in a way that we can certify it yeah that's that's but you you something up perfectly yeah I mean you know the compression of music is essentially removing information exact from from the pure law recording a lot of information crap loads more loads than we can ever understand and now Apple comes along and says hey maybe there's a way to do that what will happen I mean there's obviously a reason they're doing this are they doing it because people have been complaining about the quality of music on iTunes or is it a way for them to license stuff out and get me it's like they're mixing up two different thing okay the mastering of the disc versus how the disc is made in the music is made and recorded in the first place okay you know I was at the audio engineering society convention in New York maybe three or four months ago and it was a yet another panel discussion about the loudness wars which means keeping music loud all the time so the soft Rumble and the guitar is loud as bright full you know blast yeah and where it used to be that you just go up as high as you quit 20 and keep it as close to zero which is the maximum level sure it so in this panel discussion they said now zero is not loud enough now we actually have to go beyond 0 and beyond zero in on digital yeah is pure 100-percent distortion in analog you can go over zero and it just gets slightly more just right crackle it in digital you go over its there's nothing there and you just hear noise right so people are making records where they intentionally make it go beyond 0 for fractions of a second with rice doesn't stay there but right up yeah we've talked about like that before intro its like people are making records mixing this is it a mastering issue this how they're recorded and mixed yeah to purposely sound like crap yeah that's the stream so the mastering part of it whether it's mastered for itunes or mastered for a CD it's already like screwed to begin with yeah so there was no story early this year about Neil Young right working a few jobs about bringing lossless quality back to iTunes right well there's a weird thing adam haston kevin has a format Apple Lossless right which they could just say hey we're gonna do apple lossless this is this mastered for itunes is just ridiculous almost like it's like a cheapening of it you know what I mean it's just it's like a consumer they want to look like they're they care just another seal they can stand on something yeah I don't they're charging more to me and this isn't as I guess this isn't completely the same sort of thing but I think it it's in that sort of area you know with the TV's now with a they sort of they have features where they make things super smooth have you seen stuff like this right so film shot at 24 frames a second everyone knows that when you watch a movie on some of these televisions that bump that up artificially to something like 60 frames you're not seeing what the filmmakers intended are seeing what your television is artificially creating and it it changes the the aesthetic it changes the viewing experience there's something uh unique about watching a 24 frames per second film and then when you go to this thing which creates the illusion that it's much smoother it almost makes film look like video which is a really weird thing and this thing is from what I gather is catching on and people want this it's like colorizing black away exactly i don't like it's all we gotta make it look more you know for sure and it to me it looks like a joke and people are eating this up i don't understand it if you watch a CG scene right that's that's done in 24 frames and then brought over into this like 120 Hertz thing where it creates the illusion of more frames per second it looks like trash it looks like some idiot did it real quick on there on you know at home it's ridiculous and I don't understand why it's catching on same sort of thing with their there they're doing this like artificial production two to get people think they're getting something that maybe they're not I don't know you know speaking of getting things that for not or not yeah I never understand why the prices of downloads bright or digital versions of cost more or less the same as the physical product well more like a like an itunes download is typically 999 yeah but you could sometimes by the the CD for 999 right sometimes last sometimes a dollar yeah but it's like with the CD they had a manufacture it put it in a truck ship it someplace where houses right around these a lot of handling and people involved in doing it right or the New York I look I checked this morning on the new york times website to get a digital subscription to the new york times is various rates right but the top rate is like 895 a week yeah it's expensive you're not much it cost to get the New York Times delivered to your house seven days a week how much I think nine dollars so you sayin so well it's actually five thousand eighty five cents for the first 12 weeks and then eleven dollars and seventy cents after that for seven days a week of the new york time and that's which I had a print right put in a truck has to bring it to your abroad because you'll land power everything power why why is it I mean I don't want it I don't want that anything to happen to the new york times before didn't it be like a dollar I all the things that they're not spending money on yeah I'm kind of with you on this I was always very blown away at how much a digital subscription to The Times cause but all things it's like on amazon to buy the DVD it cost 1199 to get the Amazon download of of the movie is 1199 yeah yeah but the New York Times online version offers more than what the print version gives you you get like Moremi access you exclusive videos and work with my resolution than you would see in the paper but do you think the added uh content is worth the increase in price uh if you're consuming media that requires that kind of extra stuff then yeah yeah I mean I I think they're rationalization is that there's like this convenience right and you know these things are tailored I mean you know obviously in access it on multiple channel right ipad I'm not saying I agree or disagree with you I obviously don't be paying more for something I physically can't hold in my hand I think that's where you're sort of well you know to turn the argument around 180 degrees it brings it up the point that the actual cost of the thing whether it's a physical thing or a virtual thing isn't the cost of the thing yeah this is the physical associated with making it right like the people writing the the that you know the articles for the New York Times right you know for their offices it's not like when it's virtual they don't have to have offices in Manhattan course all over the world they also don't pay graphic designer there's an graphic designers and stuff you're talking about the actual production costs of physical materials and delivering that and all the natural resources difference between the virtual and the reality is in in manufacturing the thing right the costs that go into making the thing right exactly the same well those are really what makes determines the price of a thing correct we had talked about this with iphones and stuff it's not just the thing that's in the phone it the licenses the factory all the others the costs of making the thing right yeah I didn't say oh that chip cost you know four bucks or something how come it's a two-hundred-dollar problem with you uh silver blade in the chat room brings up an interesting point not sure if it's correct or what but it's a it's a good thought he says is because they want to excuse me keep the physical distribution in place if they offer the subscription at a much lower rate people would switch and they may not be able to produce as much content maybe that's sort of the sticking point as well you know I mean if I and I understand what he's saying if the times was a hundred bucks a year digital I began you know I mean but it's not like three ninety five six 395 boxers like that too much money watch this does the daily cost because you barely 40 bucks a year yeah you know that's nothing and that's a daily publication nowhere near the amount of content at the times has but you you know you're still getting that sort of daily periodical experience plus it's only digital it right there's no you know time stuff to pay to manufacture all these millions of newspapers so I don't know weird dicey sort of thing but I you know I'm i like talking about does New York still have those dispensers on the side of the street that you can just put a buck 25 into in quarters and get thank you for taking 15 or free no they're all out of bodegas now right yeah I mean that's the thing they for whatever reason the honor system yes I'm working I don't know how you'd pop in a cordon you take 40 news right exactly but what's there i'm in and now you know you go to bodega and there's just like a rock on top right 48 copies of the time exactly and and like a little tin cup that you JJ I mean what's the difference yeah you have to pay yeah yes we're one of our co-workers actually buys the Sunday newspaper just to get the advertisements you know just to look through all the new products and we're not because it's actually cheaper to buy the physical paper that it is to purchase a Sunday only digital yeah yeah yeah interesting right one Sunday like when they have the special sections like the style and mossy thing is that in the digital version too I don't think so no I don't know whatever guys I still pirate my uh my newspapers yeah well true there's none of that yeah well I know it's every day but it's funny yeah that's the one that's what you gotta do is just make something new every day no one ever pirate it and newspapers have an aftermarket shelf life to like yesterday you're not a stuff digital articles in your hamster cage just know like afterwards no no do a lot of stuff with newspapers after you read it yet paper mache exactly you know there's there's there's plenty of using strange my dad has a thing really he has to buy the paper every day yeah yeah and he definitely doesn't read it every day no now my stepdad does that do there's like bales of your papers in the apart and some of my childhood was wrapping them up putting them out forever cycle in other newspapers yeah being like this is clearly an untouched Sunday edition of The Daily News it's just a comfort knowing its i guess and paying whatever it was every day yeah it's crazy what else you got first I want to thank dr. dre and jimmy iovine for making the three hundred dollar headphones really hip you would like to personally thank personally dr. joy no Justin I suffered through an awful press conference awful years hahaha it was my number awful I've never heard so many buzzwords yeah very excited was the key was the theme yeah new line of I can't be headphones yeah you being sarcastic right now well no but clearly I mean sarcastic and serious at the same I can I can sense that as well but it's not complicated not dr. dre anymore I remember we reported at CES that those two are sort of breaking up now it's just Jimmy I'm sorry monster right right but uh but anyway because they made it that non when he filed people would consider buying something that they perceived rightly or wrongly as a better sounding alternative to what they had so we're before the average not if i would say i'm not gonna spend more than 50 bucks on a headphone yeah now they now they can yeah and they don't see it as extreme um they could they could become you know future generations of what he files where before i also think that there isn't going to be any yeah now do you think it's worth if there are audiophile young audio files our may be listening to the wrong type of headphones and getting the wrong kind of sound as opposed to their not being audio files at all which I asked you to have that bet that picture handy I got it you got it yep ok so now I'm gonna go down yeah is is can be measured but it's mostly a matter of taste right and preference so it's like opinions of what things you know what sounds good and what is good these their fluid they change over time are single-handedly invalidating everything seen as ever done no that's not your measures we don't measure sound right and here's why you can't I mean unless you're an engineer that this image is a measurement a speaker measurement uh-huh and it looks like a wavy line to me right and the guy that measured it is a friend of mine Brent Butterworth and I said and is this a good measurement this is something that sounds good and he said yeah mmm I said really you could look at that and say that sounds good that thing that goes like a sound yeah he can see sound right but did you listen to the speakers that this was measured no no no because I would be interested in know what I'm saying affecting if it was a picture this because it sounds like crap we have a different sets of waves yeah right so the point is it's it's so subjective oh of course yes and that's the way it's always gonna sort of in any way it's gonna be so what it but the Oscars are subjective you know what I mean yeah so you know I but I still think there there's like a common agreement that everyone has on on what it made that you Harris socks no I hate this movie I don't understand uh give it up I know but uh but you you you you you know you try and act like uh the Volt up to me personally I think there is a certain buffer zone of what sounds good that may be a lot of people's opinions existing like we can all agree that the apple ipod headphones that come stock right if i sound like crap yeah but I think once you get toward the upper end of the headphones like yeah after your spending hundred dollars for might not be so putting aside you know playback stuff if you just talk about recordings will a good sounding recording of a piano with sound is much like that is the sound of a piano right but once you get into the sound of what a hip-hop record should sound like writer with a lot of electronic there's no nothing to reference it right there to say that's what it's supposed to sound like right there's no if your speakers were broken and you were listening to electronica right you couldn't tell he's at last a really cool buzz I the way I think is yeah what are they doing yeah no it's not this how the recording your headphones are broken but you can't tell the difference just love ya too referent I'm not putting down the kind of music is nothing to reference against I also think that you could argue that the monster headphones do make that kind of music sound better like you would probably prefer to listen through those headphones then with say like a great Oh headphone right right which is bizarre too so it's hard to say what is a good headphone or not if you're not talking about what music you're listening to right like some are more appropriate for certain kinds right when you talk when you say you want to thank dr. dre you're talking about Beats headphones beats headphones so now because he made it possible but now people who would never spend three hundred dollars for headphones now that that threshold has passed hmm when they get older they don't start listening to Judy Garland records or something yeah and they want to listen to more acoustic music it won't be a shock to them to say I'll have to spend three hundred dollars to get something that makes me that sound good but don't you think that that's what I'm saying some are those headphones good the monster beats know you're dr. dre be their intended bear I don't know I would give a bad review I didn't do the initial one do not give a bad with the bees llego right right the black and the red ones um just they're not good I don't like their physical build and to me it i think it reached your final review all right put them blah but screw that talk about tell me about the sound the actual sound they do emphasize the base a lot so that's the and the highs right right if that's what your main concern is then yeah you know like the way they sound cuz I mean a lot of people the more the better right the more babe a base for is like currency in audio world its just people love it they can get enough of it they want everything vibrating I understand but uh to me I want more bass at a lower volume and I think with the monster beats you do have to crank it up all the way to you overall well either way I see these things on everybody's head when I'm talking and not just like you know like the people who are clearly listening a hip-hopper stuff like that Rio what so I like women I'm gonna get analogy okay you know David Katz fire more video reviewer yeah TVs when he reviews TVs he calibrates right to a certain specific love hours of time into each TV and makes it as good as it can be right right but most people with their garbageman or law professors when they buy that Phillips that Samsung TV you're gonna put it in blowtorch mode right right those greens are gonna zap BAM like jump and burn your rain right now yeah so all the things that the cats bar is using to describe that this TV is better than that TV in the real world people want too much bass they want too much green they want those colors to just jump out do you think it's an American thing it's tends to be we just love we just like we can't have it social sensation we just like more sensation can have like oh this is a serving size for a human it needs to be a go it needs to be like oh my god do you think I can have a stroke from this like do you think I can really make myself pass out from this let's give me that certain size I think my biggest problem with the celebrity endorsed headphones is that they're starting to put more emphasis on the design yeah sound quality which I'm okay with because up until a couple years ago heddwich did look like crap but it's a fashion right and I'd like the way that for example like the in case headphones that you're using right now i'm reviewing those i didn't look great but they also feel good to their modular and it just makes sense then you look at something like this picture little Wayne wearing his 1 million dollar diamond studded headphones these are actually being sold by monster these aren't custom joints that he put together really yeah monster is selling these for a million dollars how and some idiots gonna buy these thinking they're the best quality by that I don't know a million-dollar headphone this guy did and you didn't know that you could spend 250 bucks on a pair of gray doesn't get better sound I guess it's not what he's looking he's not he's looking to you know he's got a basketball game what do you need to develop teach a headphones for every NBA all-star sort of disrespectful even Drake they're can't believe what he's saying drinks like what are you doing man there's a basketball game going on in front of you you big idiot glasses off the Sun doesn't set on cool get the crap out of your ears ridiculous I don't know I just really hate these people armed no but I uh I I think if you are the type of person who can afford a million-dollar headphones you've made a couple good decisions in your life probably yeah probably not gonna make that decision would make another have fun purchase I'm just throwing out that you know like if you had a diamond-studded pair of sennheisers you know like hd6 hundreds and I'd be like okay yeah that's fine that's worth it but it's like it's like polishing a turd man why would you put diamonds on lots like polishing a turd put it better who ever hate where did that come from I don't know but it's a great Oh / it's a great little cliche they're awful for sure all right we uh we don't have too much time left Steve if you have anything else you want to talk about cuz we can get into something that you might be able to add to all right go ahead all right uh ghostbusters yeah we all love ghostbusters at CES the lovely beautifully talented Eliza Dushku was on stage with us telling us that she may or may not be involved in ghostbusters 3 right but it turns out on geek tyrant dot-com I never been to the side I don't know how much credibility they do have but our friend Seth sent this in and the headline says Bill Murray will definitely not be in ghostbusters 3 so here's the article that we're looking at here with you Asher from people being ghostbusters 3 but has no problem donning the Ghostbusters suit for public engagement right at a price he does yeah they look at the photo up here this was him at the scream awards i think on spike TV where somebody paid him to put on a Peter Venkman costume and he had no problem slipping that thing on but when Ivan Reitman in the whole Ghostbusters crew want to get back together and possibly make legitimate sequel he kept targeting he says once more money well I would agree what's those headphones you seen death row and I made it I'll do it what let's let's try and look at this seriously though Ghostbusters one of the greatest film franchises I mean I'm just gonna say i know they're not oscar-worthy films but there's something about those movies that are fantastic maybe it's the New York thing maybe it's these convenient whatever it is i love ghostbusters and as as sort of uh adamant I've been about not making a ghostbusters 3 all this talk has gotten me to the point which is like just do it already get it over with so I can hate it and I'll move on with my life I mean maybe bill murray's see something that we don't and he finds all these reboots lately to be really sickening like to do we need a terminator salvation now trilogy would have been way better if they had just stopped it there now meow okay and I agree with you but let's not forget the amount of of sort of careful planning and pre-production that has gone into ghostbusters 3 yeah not only are ideal everyone signed up except for Bill Murray and we're talking down to the director ivan reitman he's on board everyone else is on board apparently Bill Murray is like the one you know uh missing cog to this whole equation right and for whatever reason he just does not want to get involved now i can relate i can I and I think he's siding with like the fanboys of the world right like look it doesn't matter where old it died I don't care if the script is great yeah because I'm sure somebody read the original Ghostbusters script it was like this steaming pile of crap will not do anything I Jeff you're a huge ghostbusters yeah arguably more than myself but don't you think that part of the appeal of the original movies was that it was based out of that 80's New York nostalgia yes and that they looked young and the the animation look like crap and the CGI was terrible no I like that was all part of the the charm yeah exactly so when you bring it into this age you're gonna have it in 3d it's gonna be gonna be everything's gonna look way it looks the sea of a proton packs is just ridiculous not cool don't look if I had a choice I'm I'm siding on the on the end is owned a table that says no don't write yes yeah right I think I'm you're hammering I'm just saying like it you know 30 years it's it's been a really long time yeah and I you know it's like one of the most the hottest topic in in in geekdom right now is like this sequel right uh and you know what I just hope that if the problem is that if he doesn't sound to do it they might still do it that's where you gotta really have a problem I think then get Adrian Brody yeah right i liked was that one day that will probably happen you'd be okay with 3d his nose again no comment Jake all in the charm says they're probably gonna remix the Ghostbusters song to which would be total blast right kid like son like little wayne brocade way come up and just like cameo yeah no thank you although I can't really see these people allowing that to happen you gotta hope howell ramos dan aykroyd and ivan reitman but like Saina blood treaty where they're just like no one can compromise you agree this film but you know these days who knows what's going to happen and by view of their age the story's gonna have to be like it's been 30 years maternity what's gonna happen what i want to think about that and had there not been any sort of supernatural incident in new york for 30 years that all of a sudden you know the river of slime is back right that licked off the tie and on the you know is in the 70s i kept thinking it wouldn't it be great if the beatles got back together yeah looking back it was so great that the beatles didn't get yeah sure some things are better left alone they did it it's done just go back and watch the old movie that's the over yeah God did you come up with a freakin original idea wouldn't that be something damn it marcha take a look at it hard way every Broadway show is easy is a movie car delivery Sophie that comes out the character cannot make an original it's it's impossible freaking believable the alot the lack of ridge originality out there and you know what I'm not saying I don't think it it I think there are original pieces out there of there has to be but the fact is that no one's willing to take a chance on that sort of stuff and that's the real biggest you know what if you think of it in the context of the time I think I tell you the story once that I had a friend at work in a screening room and he was screening Star Wars like a month before it came out huh and he said to me see if you better see this movie quick because what is it paramore 20th Century Fox has no belief in this movie they think it's an open and close in a week because they said science fiction space movies yeah who gives a crap about those right so it's like the even the people who are supposed to know yeah don't no idea they don't know and I love these live like the biggest thing right and it's presented on a silver platter and they come I don't know yeah space movie baby let's roll the dice no one's willing to take that chance anymore so even if I had one they wouldn't know yet and they would they would they would they would bury it they would you know they would like come out in New York in LA in like four theaters and I'd be that at the end of it and then it would win the Oscar crazy let's not get too crazy all right that's gonna do it for us today a big thank you to Steve sphere
