starting things off on a coughing foot welcome to the 404 show on this Tuesday July thirty-first 2012 I'm Jeff Bakalar and I'm Justin you and I Mario nuñez and this is a show or we dump the tape delay that's correct we say no to tape delay not like the Olympics I'm actually okay with tape I am too and we'll get to that in just a second but first things first we're back on the air we're back on livestream we're back on cnet TV or streaming video we're live this is the greatest day of my life yeah I don't know about you we got a lot of complaints about the lack of video over the past few days but yeah nothing we could do about that I think I don't know what it was people weren't and we were pretty vocal about this we that we didn't have a video stream it wasn't working well these people clearly went going to our 404 sub red I don't know what you were detailing the entire thing I was pretty proud learning things from that thread I'm sure you were yeah because that's what happens when you leave a 330 every day yeah no I'm kidding and yeah we definitely want to let everyone know what was going on with our problems long story short the system we use to switch pro switch cameras and called the TriCaster and that just crapped the bed it was just it was all over the place the system is down this system is down we got a new one in here it seems to be working well ariella myself were here late last night right where we not yeah we were we got to get to know T we got to learn a lot about each other like a lot got close I know everything about our a little too much you can never you cannot know enough about it gets hot in the studio after hours true they shut off the air conditioner oh yes they do just two of us topless yeah wrong with like handles with some family need to didn't have to the lights are working like Top Gun it was yeah podcasting it was a weird like gratuitous sex scene from the 80s from like an 80s be here meanwhile areas like all blurry and blown out yeah it looked good I thought yeah anyway long story short we're back up and uh I'm feeling it I think everything's working right and will uh will that time tell that guys are podcasting geniuses I don't know if that's what you want to call it but it wasn't fun Sidley's either way we should be good to go from here on out so there are any problems if you have anything that you've spotted that she thinks a little awry don't hesitate healthy now show that we had no uh definitely let us know the 440 netcom and check out the subreddit because that was i was using that subreddit to document everything dude we're almost had 500 subscribers for that yeah i want to i want to make it a thousand that's what I'm shooting for once we had a thousand I mean come on I kind of want more Instagram subscribers to because we've been posting a lot of back behind the scenes photos oh you know or a studio revamp all the problems we've been having I've been posting a lot of pictures on there check us out on Instagram at the 404 do you want to thank the TriCaster folks before we continue you're not at all no I'm kidding no they were helpful real helpful um they did a girl they did a great job in helping us know they were for hey for the first third of this issue they were they were on top of crap I just you know I was dealing dealing with them and then did you stop don't wanna get into it I don't want to get anyone in trouble just that's Justin pleading the fifth it's right there um have you been watching the olympics at all yes I have i'm watching swimming a lot it is not good it is not fun why you had a swimming olympic yachting first of all swit the swimming yeah i mean it is not very exciting we talking not i'm saying it it's not exciting I don't find it exciting because there are there aren't as many records being broken nose on the care about Brad you they're the best swimmers in the world yeah it's great but they it's just not very exciting to me maybe that last 17 seconds as they're making their way to the final push you know that's sort of exciting right i also have a problem with the way they shoot the the the competition I don't think the camera should be where it is right it's deceiving I think the camera should be right on top looking top on a top-down source you're saying you can't see these swimmers as they go into the lanes it's hard to follow the sport right and it's on and you know I feel about the entire game of hablo everyone that talks crap about hockey the biggest problems that you can't see the action that's not why are you so dense and you can't understand what I'm trying to say I can't we really get what you're saying but as a swimmer I can follow it find it no you can't because you don't know if the guy in lane 1 is equal to the guy in Lane 8 well it's impossible to see anyway because swimming is a sport that is literally off by a tenth of a second I'm just between swimmers no you're not able to see who finishes before they tell you anyway no but but if they had that top-down view which they occasionally cut too right I know it is much easier to tell who's an elite that's what I'm saying you can't tell who's in the lead right maybe if they had graphics above each swimmer as it was going with numbers above it they should just do that maybe yeah I mean to have it for everything else do something like that I think there's a lot of things that are really exciting about the sport of swimming especially easier because in 2008 right I don't know if ember this big controversy over the swimsuit that the athletes were it was created by speedo right now it's called the lzr suit this is full body thing and that was the reason why michael phelps won all eight of those medals you think that's why he want is exactly why he won so you're saying it makes you one tenth of a second quick and makes you a lot faster apparently it says 90 speedo claims that ninety-eight percent of the medals won at the Olympics in 2008 was directly because those so why does everyone wear because now they're banned really yeah which is why people aren't showing as many records this year because you're not allowed to wear full-body suits in so that it was cool and Beijing and now it's not yeah see that's a huge issue in swimming right so now you'll see people with like in the 2011 they were had they had an entire body suit now the regulation says you have to wear suits with no fastening devices and alt like they had zippers in the old ones and then they have to only stretch from like your knees to your shoulders for women's swim suits and they have the jammers for the men which are basically just yeah guys can't wear full body right but basically would ya which i think is true you know that that creates a hugely I mean they were basically human torpedoes right now they're right and it's because it's because the Olympic American Olympic swimming team was sponsored by speed oh right but does that you mean like the other guys in Beijing couldn't just put on speed of stuff no but they've have to pay for it which is a huge lot of money right yeah and some countries can't afford that no they can't afford these bathing suits this whole land the Olympics is here it just a flat explain it just bought its I'm sorry and I've said this is the beginning the summer ones are boring they're boring um you know it's exciting to watch the beach volleyball beach volley act very active sport two on two beach volleyball is awesome even the team volleyball all I like that the basketball I mean we're great right we should just win there's no problem it seems like there's always a lot of controversy to like I see the thing about South Korea and the girl who wouldn't get off the stand because the clock broke in fencing no sound big fencing controversy I'm some sorts big deal the fencing world is on his head on his face right I do agree that there are a lot of sports that maybe shouldn't be an Olympic sport like synchronized diving like I'm sorry but if you can retire after one year as like a 19 year old from the sport or just so specific these sport right or Olympic yachting yeah I mean what did you don't say that the winter the Summer Olympics is not you could say it about the Winter Olympic right Bob why people so yeah but summer is not strictly white sports cycling super white okay near your right pinky closet sport that's continually like all but I feel like the fastest runners aren't white yeah gymnastics also not wide enough yeah so come on point the China is wiping the floor with the the men's gymnastics true which is not that much I mean I I respect and I appreciate the strength agility stem the overall talent of these athletes I do I really do it's just not fun to watch for me how are you watching the Olympics on a television yeah but are you watching it live or are you watching it no because when I'm home it's 3am in in London yeah so I'm watching it on it on a tape delay ok so you don't mind the tape delay because that's what we're the show title came from people are complaining that the tape delay is spoiling a lot of the events yes for people that like to watch a lot I don't understand why this keeps coming up every two years people freak out there is go always going to be a time zone that gets screwed over this depending on where the games are geographically located the time zone that's like five hours behind is going to eat it because they're all going to find out but why is this but people seem to be there like what do we do well the tape delay issue isn't it's not a geographic argument but but no they're saying that because it happens earlier so well how far head is England says six seven hours and that so something that happens at 9pm there is two in the afternoon here yeah they're like well we're not going to show that live we're gonna show the tape delay so we can get that prime time or exactly should I understand them doing that but people are upset with them I mean yes I do think they should be airing it live maybe not on NBC but maybe you know Barry it on like CNBC if you're really that die-hard you can go watch it but what's but what's the problem this has always been an issue right good ever since the the prevalence of of internet that's not him i sees fault is the internet were like blaming NBC like it's there for maybe they can have a better strategy which they uh how they wish to sort of handle this what are you gonna do that's that's just the the more the Beast how can people don't complain this much when the East Coast spoils the Oscar winners for the west coast couple hours or no that is not as long as big of an issue 3 hours and they think they do a lot yeah they still do a lot but people don't complain about that three hour because there's no delay no there is a delay no they show at the same time don't they know like if it's on at nine am-9 p.m. here they don't show it at nine p.m. local time that's just why you living on the west coast yeah that's I think that's the bigger size you gotta move well that is you literally need to pick up and move east I'm sorry that all this is that's that's our own promise or maybe just you know if you want to watch it uh the live coverage or if you want to wait to the primetime wrap up that mash up later on at night then maybe just don't spoil it for yourself and maybe refrain from looking at olympic coverage they the entire day yeah maybe have these work during the like everyone else is doing maybe you impose something US big boys like the call willpower okay that I understand the argument though because a lot of people are complaining that NBC just a headlines on the NBC home page where they're directing people to go for the livestream ruin it just by the headlines alone right that's a bigger issue and and you're right some of the fault must lay in the hands of NBC they did something last night that was so effing stupid with that they ran a promo talking about that Franklin girl who won the gold medal and some swimming event they've literally ran like we're gonna see what it's like for her to meet her family once she won the gold medal and then the next thing they add they're like well who's gonna win the gold medal it was right after they ran this 30-second bumper about good day America whatever whatever they're good morning I don't know what they have whatever it was the next morning right they were gonna show the interview with her parents and the girl there like she won the gold here's her first reaction with their family and the next things like well we're here the finals for women swimming not sure who's gonna pull away with it that was a bonehead move I mean that's just common sense right I'm also hearing this maybe I'm not supposed to repeat this but there's like other advertising issues like what like maybe she's like inside baseball but there's like certain sponsors aren't getting the airtime their source beginning okay that's another problem but in terms of just the tape delay stuff come on that is a bonehead move right there yeah it also bruin it twenty seconds before you're gonna air it yeah you know what ever happened to it's new to you if you've never seen it well we just ruined it for everybody that's stupid I think it's just like I know it's a no-win situation either way people like to complain if they showed it during primetime then people would be upset because they're they wouldn't you know they would spoil it but because there's a delay but if they showed it live then people will just complain because they're I work and they can't watch it so I mean you're kind of f'd either way I think the bigger NBC the big takeaway is I just just wait till this winter it's just going to be better dis ignore all coverage unless you've seen the event already I don't mind it's the same thing as watching dark knight rises for example like I avoided anything that said that on reddit you know like right don't other people about Batman I told you that I was on the subway train heard someone spoiling spider-man for me I had to like plug my ears llll ever have any old fashioned ear plug it would ever happen to that arm but yeah I mean look you're it's gonna get spoiled for you it's it's the way it works yeah I was watching a like some news wrap-up yesterday and some guy literally had to look at the camera be like okay guys like turn away from the TV now if you haven't seen the coverage yeah this Olympic event yet the local broadcast see that yeah yeah NBC for the one did that the sports guy be like okay spoilers onion are happening now like a child yeah it's kind of ridiculous all right we're done with that let us know what you think about the Olympics I again though man it's cycling fan that's that's why you're not excited that was cool to finish in the rain did you that was terrified you actually tweeted something interesting and you said if snowboarding can be a winner Olympic sport why isn't skateboarding a summer for sure yeah what's what what the hell yeah what do you think it would be more interesting if we had skateboarding I would I would watch it yeah that'd be the one thing I would go out and pursue and watch it didn't snow boarding evolved from skateboarding uh I think that's a fair thing to say maybe I you know it's it's it's like it's just the seasonal equivalent yeah winter is the snowboarding as summers the skateboarding that's just how it works you know when we when you just have shaun white on he'd be like oh i skateboard in the summer and I snowboard in the winter and that's how it works and I we even asked when Tony Hawk was here I was like dude woody I was like what are you doing to get the Summer Olympics to take on skateboarding he didn't seem like it was something he was really going after but if there's a half pipe which is just tricks that's all the half pipe is in the winter olympics if there's a halfpipe in winter there should be a vert competition for skateboarding in summer thank you know do you know how many more sponsors and what kind of an audience would tune in for that if you win the gold medal in in in skateboarding on the vert that's awesome yeah you know get a big young demographic for sure I bet its ESPN totally lobbying against it because they've got the X X Games and they're like no no no you can't do that I don't know snowboarding was able to make the the jump in skateboarding is a lot older than snowboarding yeah what about rollerblading and razor not need to be the next in line scootering scooter scooter in Justin the man scootering competition I don't get it yeah yeah but are you with me with the skateboard I mean I'm sorry being sincere about yeah great i I really cuz you I would really freaking watch that because skateboarding to me the vert yeah probably harder which doing a lot of you I would love to see a street skating let's not push our luck I would love that too you can't really race with skateboarding like you can with snowboarding yeah you can just be very violent I feel like um but yeah I mean come on are you guys with me chat rooms seems to be on board I would watch skateboarding everyone would watch it what are we doing what are we holding out on let's do it 2016 where's 2016 me rio de janeiro right what are the sports you want to see in the summer olympics Oh years from now I don't know I think that's about it I would like baseball to come back yeah baseball is not as international as we think though um but yeah I mean a lot of American sports are not international American football we're really only once I care about it yeah you know I don't know the only one we play here that's two is basketball and hockey is really international yeah anyway let's mosey along and talk about the FBI good and this this new initiative would affect two-thirds of this room right now the FBI is thinking about making a database or they want to make a database of human tattoos and which tattoos belong to which people yeah how do you feel about that you have the most tattoos out of anybody in this room I'm literally covered in tattoos you they're all just skin colored doesn't take many to fill this body with tattoos no I literally have two tattoos and you're like three quarters of my body you're three inches taller than me yet I have more real estate to work because I probably got a bigger belly it's very difficult to tattoo on me too ever been to the mall and see the Chinese guys right on rice right of name on a single grid right that guy has tattoos that's my art exhibition traction they put you in this vise straitjacket it's literally like tattooing bun I would argue that my pain threshold is probably higher than yours um for you I know that hurt his bed shut up dude like down a pig that is not right you're right i just squeal in the chair yes you man it is not okay and even if that's the case you know how to park up the parts of my body yet are getting tattooed I'm sorry I know you're like Jack Skellington walking around here but you do not have skinnier knees than I do and that's where my tattoos going down and that hurts yeah okay how dare you say you're the bone vibrating yeah I can't man know all the flavors in the way two people have to stretch the skin finger it's a seven-man operation do you really think I'm like insanely obese is that what you know but if you can make fun of me for being skinny I could do the officer no because I'm not fat you're skinny but I'm not saying it's bad joke we joke a show full acute you up man the table between it but seriously though All Things Considered sousaphone your larger than life what do you a wudu ua anh nhu a block 45 that is ridiculous yeah I bet re always down 61 to you way more than that you gotta weigh more than I haven't weighed myself lately but I'm like 150 yeah and you're a foot taller than him I am skinny here news flash oh but I'm just where are you I'm 190 00 check your diet man oh my golly you're the man who intravenously serves bacon grease into your scrotum a today thank you oh how dare you how dare you you know when that needle is on your your kneecap and fun yeah all right I know I my knee is so insanely large and fat and discuss my knee has diabetes you're blown up with a hectic I can hear you getting fat hello ice cream yeah but a good time I'm gonna beat you up man how do we get into this cuz we're talking about the FBI trying to put together a database of tattoos okay okay obesity aside did you know that a lot of tattoo apprentices actually tattoo pigs because pig skin is most similar to human skin did you know that yeah true so I guess that's why I got such a good tattoo then huh yeah I'm serious that's why they got all those pigs leaves nestle go on um okay where were you oh yeah okay so the FBI is consulting local police and it basically this is an extension of the Homeland Security's Security Department they're trying to beef up their databases of known criminals right now they have iris protection and facial recognition services and now they're testing this new software that will track people based on their tattoos and so they're going to amass all these different kinds of like overhead camera shots you know the cameras they have in public places like airports and whatnot if you have visible tattoos they're going to start recording those adding it to this database so they can basically keep track of criminals and also decipher gang symbols because that's something that is a big identifier rails and in gangs sure those tattoos yeah interestingly enough this follows a report on in July eleventh and this was a story back in the Wall Street Journal that was apparently reporting on government official denying immigrants green cards based on their spouses having gang-related tattoos even though they don't have arrest records they weren't allowed into the country because they had these gang-related tactic which I guess i'm not totally against right no i mean i mean if you like should we let anyone into the country this isn't this isn't a gang thing but like if you had like a swastika tattooed on your right head yeah i'm gonna be going to deny your uh no but see i think i think that tattoos are open for interpretation tation like a swastika if it was not open for it is not open for interpretation but a lot of people don't know that if I do it the opposite way well that's for Buddhism right I'm just saying you can interpret that's a different logo right right but like to the Virgin I yield regret right and you if you're really comfortable in trying to make that different you know I mean yeah that's that's pretty ballsy don't judge a book by it's cover unless that cover has a swastika not every skin has bad yeah you know some of them are fun-loving they're just big teddy bears yeah with no hair or what if you're a reformed skinhead and you still have those tattoos all right the people that only hate acidic do they they welcome every other kind of they just don't like one sex right yeah so I guess the I don't know maybe the answer here is don't get any visible tattoos don't tattoo that face look you tattoo your face you have more than just the FBI to worry about yeah you're making a staple on you're making a statement I mean it's fine I've seen well no I haven't seen any face tattoos that I think are okay hmm but you are making a stable a lot of people are starting to do like the sideburn area have you seen that like down the side of their face yeah it's not as bad is something on your forehead but mm-hmm still pushing it you know like going back to the story I think that unless you have a tattoo that clearly says I hate blank non-asians more if you have something as apparent as a swastika right then maybe we shouldn't judge based solely on that ink on your skin alone there should be other factors that are taking the consideration in its consideration like prior criminal records well look if you've turned it around I just think it reinforces that negative images of tattoos if i do not see if i was a neo-nazi and i turned my life around right i was like you know what I was drinking the kool-aid for too long Hitler had no idea what he was talking about I love everyone I'm tolerant of all colors religions all that I'm covering up I'm gonna tattoo over my swastika okay I know someone who did that because they formerly had racist tattoos they used to have a swastika on their leg cuz grown up that they didn't know any but I'm serious it's like a friend of yours from the front yeah for now ends with you not from I didn't know him during this part part portion of his life okay but growing up he got involved with the wrong crew people and he thought that was the way to do things and when he grew up he realized how much of a moron he was sure when he was young and he covered it up because he was like oh this is a symbol of hate he did like a black bar thing whatever it is he turned into a Christmas tree idea what do you do what did you do no it's I was tic-tac-toe you can make I have no idea he just closed the lineup it was a box box on accident i'm a big box guy hey love bug love that what you have tattoos have you ever run into a situation where you felt like you were uh you were misinterpreted or or maybe someone assume things about you that weren't right based on your tattoos I mean you have it's just my leg it's your leg it's a it's a it's a pretty massive tattoo on my leg that's never been misinterpreted but you never had to hide your tattoo because you're worried that people would assume the wrong things about you know even my grandma doesn't mind it and she's 90 yeah you know so I had to do that once uh why oh I know I why why why just wait what I've never told you this or before so i can meet somebody that yes uh so uh a little while ago I met a girl friend's mom and uh your girlfriend my girlfriend yeah and I made my I met such a girl mom you met my girlfriend your mom's co sign this book yeah I met my girlfriend's mom and at the time we were at work and you guys were here for this I remember sure sure um I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and we were meeting really close to the office and I was worried that my tattoos on my arms would show if I reach for something you know like if I reach for something across a table or handed a dish I didn't want to have to do like the mr. burn like the monty burns like short t-rex the Tyrannosaurus yeah you know like I wanted to extend was afraid all right and so because I didn't have time to go home to change after we're gonna put on a long sleeve shirt I had to go had to put on a sweater the problem is two things one it was really hot because this was like a month ago in New York so it was like 85 degrees outside yeah number two the only thing I had office to cover up was a sweater and not only it's not just any sweater a wool sweater yeah does ribbed wool sweater and I didn't want to put it on when I got to the restaurant because anyone my hair to get messed up so I put you know I donned it at the office sure also I had to remove eight pounds of cat hair before showing up you guys are all the lint rollers in the world could help you out never so by the time i made the walk over there with this wool sweater and a shirt and an undershirt underneath it I was sweating like an emer effort which made what's a bad look the show up really sweaty yeah I mean you're sending some interesting signals right you do that got like hygiene issues yeah like oh god I can't stop sweating and then on top of that we ate soup noodles for some reason because that's what you want to eat on a shirt I've degree day and then and I was sweating profusely the entire time I was there it was so I felt like Ben Stiller right in the in along came polly yeah but but the reason a hot and then also the heat made it really itchy because I was uncomfortable and I was nervous on top of that so it's like you know just like trying to like do this like pull my collar what would have happened if she saw your tattoos what like would the world of imploded we can understand like this is someone who is like a very traditional Korean so I mean they still a lot of people still harbor these stereotypes against tattoos that anyone who has one must be affiliated with a gang really yeah is that are you surprised by that not everyone lives in New York California you're right i get a but sooner or later it's gonna come out yeah maybe just gonna hide it i don't know i mean like if you want you know if you're if you're with this person for a very long time relator is going to come out sooner or later would but I mean what am I ever gonna go swimming with this person's parents you know it's I'm not seeing any ways to avoid show where it is so you're gonna go your whole life for nacho I have a friend who is from Hawaii and she has two sleeves full of tattoos not to mention a couple ones and relaxes well her family lives you want pics after that yeah I like the legs and uh yes she's her parents still don't know because it's the same issue you know her parents are very traditional donors and that idea yeah abdicating tattoos because you like the way that they look and read shaker design I but yeah so every time she goes back to Hawaii whether it's to visit or just for the summer time whatever she has to cover up wear long sleeves which must look ridiculous in Hawaii you know it's like they never go swimming together I mean these are things that a lot of people have to think about I think at the end of the day if your parents love you and you love your parents it's not always about it's not as simple as like understands loving me I understand but you know if you are gonna do something like this it's it's just I don't know I think we make way too big of a deal of it I think I and I understand its cultural and I can't necessarily identify with that because I'm not emotional you can you can still understand that not everyone knows that tattoos are as prevalent as we know no I know I I just I just I think it's a little silly in in going out of your way to hide it from people you know I think the biggest issue is that parents understand the difference between like well done tattoos and just like a dragon with like blood all over it right right knows our show you very different types of tattoos right honor those aren't tattoos those are like refrigerator magnet you know what I mean re oh do you have any anything yummy tattoos I have no debt really you come off as a guy who would really be scary with tattoos ya see what is that like that's what I'm talking about though what is that well that's Joe first I want to be scary but Jersey don't don't get it oh yeah no you should I will know I planning I plant oh you do yeah I plan to I just I just met with an artist all right on where what do you wear on my arm and it's gonna be a Pegasus Oh would like for our more high up up so I could cover it okay right on yeah my girlfriend's parents are real traditional tea and everyone knows something super turd traditional my in-laws are relatively conservative they don't they don't really didn't care right yeah I don't know and I got the whole Jewish thing with like the whole myth of not being buried and stuff like that all right is is that a myth can you clear everyone that I've talked to so apparently people a lot of people believe that if you get a tattoo you cannot be buried in an Orthodox Jewish right and I didn't know I think that's the thing i think it's you can't be varied in an orthodox one it was a it was a storyline of an episode of curb your enthusiasm okay and everyone I talked to was like no it's a room that's a myth and you know it's just people not wanting to get tattoos because I guess it reminds them but it isn't it a chicken in the egg thing because if you an Orthodox Jew then you probably wouldn't get a tattoo in the first place I don't know how that works so then what if you weren't why would you wanna be buried one anyway is your dead I'm right if it's on my arm all right cut my arm off probably my office like well we're burying ninety percent of death here the other ten percent we threw in the Hudson River that's a little I'm okay with that though you can also buy if you go to like Sephora or other like Beauty Supply counters you can buy specially made makeup that's you know you could put on your tattoos to hide it like me because one sponsored by Kat Von D right there is for me though it's just white out yeah it's just industrial-strength white out because we know this we know this from people who've seen me try and put makeup on for shows there does not yet exist a shade of makeup that lines up with the pigment of my pigmentation of my skin no scientists just haven't gotten there yet yeah cosmetic scientists they just haven't yet reached absolute white flour you just got a bunch of flour makes me look ten really thank ya the color makes me look dark you know if you want to really see something super funny yeah I maybe we'll put this in the reddit go and look at some of the still images of the photo taken from CES when Jim lands owned was on our show and our buddy jon said he who did the makeup out there oh he's like Jeff I'm gonna make you tan today and I was like Jon don't do that he's like I'm already doing it yeah so he and he makes me look tan it's the one we were doing like the Ron Burgundy polo right i'm talking about i'm doing the lands owned and i look like a different race it's how dark i am hahaha you got it up on your screen looking for if i can get that here it is the funniest picture where's this one you don't get too bad come on I mean my face what and look at my neck into my neck my forehead right it's like a yin and yang three different shades in your face or here cuz your beard is red yeah your face is super like a little darker in this one yeah and your neck is why does I mean even going from my ear to my cheek there is a pretty big difference Oh bakula oh it sucks being this pale all right let's do one more story before we get out of here for the day okay I'll leave that to you because you're the man okay let's talk about a social sickness and we actually we didn't get to the story about Twitter sort of being banned from the Olympics did you watch the opening ceremonies by the way why did they not ban cell phone use at the opening ceremony why what was going on it was just really irritated to see everyone holding up what you know the same idea as holding phone up in a movie theater it looked super distracting of all those screens do you mean the people videotaping the opening ceremony in attendance you could tell that that was going on yeah how could you tell because they were making no effort to hide it like all of the people in the stands no people on the actual but no people or walking in yell they were holding cell phones do it just looked ridiculous oh cuz well it was sort of like a party yeah it's like a free-for-all I guess so I thought they would have been better about checking your phone because you could literally see people tapping on Instagram right well there was like um like Kobe Bryant was doing in and LeBron was doing it okay though what are you gonna walk in the opening ceremonies of the Olympics don't know you think it should be much more like a conservative affair I just don't think that anyone cares to watch to see photos of someone that was on the floor right you only we're gonna watch the actual coverage of it hey fair enough regard really disagree uh social sickness apparently Twitter can tell you when you're going to get sick and up to eight days before it happens this is really interesting yeah so this is a study made by Adam SATA luck and his team of researchers over at the University of Rochester okay and his team basically analyzed tweets from about 4.4 million people that's a huge sample size in New York City alone that's over six hundred thousand users okay in one month two years ago in 2010 right and then they used all those tweets to basically construct an algorithm of who's getting sick and they made this heat map of when people are sick the frequency and what type of illness it was whether it was a cold vs a flu okay and that they used a an algorithm that would recognize individual words so words like sick or ill or like you know sneezing cough whatever symptoms you're experiencing right they also train the AI algorithm to not recognize or weed out words that where people said sick but didn't mean ill get me pretty tough I mean that's our like I usually song is like super sick yeah yeah like that's not even to the flu they differentiate artificial intelligence algorithm always that's all always given anyone yeah that's it man yeah it's over so sick and anyway so these researchers are saying that the key to the system is friendships and so those associative relationships if your friends are sick you're also saying the same thing then those are highlighted more in the map and they can use that tiny sample size to compare to the entire one gotcha really cool now that's cool so can you use this for your own good I mean it kind of doesn't do anything to prevent it just sort of lets you know it's like that sort of our early warning system right right it shows that a lot of people in your area or getting sick maybe you won't look as many subway pools yeah I mean that seems like the next logical sort of precaution it's crazy how accurate this algorithm is true this makes uh ninety percent accurate and about eight days in advance that can detect flew in your area is that like the incubation period for a goal yeah days or something like that yeah it's very much it takes all right cool I uh I really want to learn more about this but you never get sick so it's not related you know I do i do know I I think I I think I go maybe too much out of my way to not get sick yeah I don't know there's something about having a cold like I would rather have the flu like just have like a fever and be in bed all day then get a common cold to me that is the most irritating thing it also sounds like crap on the shot you know you're like hey right i mean like that's awful it's weird though because that I would think that you would get more sick because it's always like the palest kids you associate with my absolute malnourished no like that's always like the sickly kid right like really pale like a sickly is different Bommel pale you know man you're really lacing in today first I'm a pig getting tattoo tattoos now I'm like a sickly emaciated pale free of fat and sickly I'm fat hey Lisa yeah and you're gonna come out on the ice with me buddy yeah I and that'll be the end of that yeah see if you bleed red oh man right you see if
