it's Wednesday November 28th 2012 this is the 404 show streaming live on seen it on live stream I'm Jeff Bakalar I'm Justin you I mariela nunez and this is the show where we play it fast and loose we're good we're going to take this one fast and we're going to take it loose which is in my opinion the best way to approach any situation yeah play that fast play it loose it's my favorite new saying if you haven't been able to tell hey Jeff there's no gas left in this car hey man let's just play this one fast and loose let's just see what happens maybe we will get there maybe we won't let's just play it fast and loose are we playing this show fast and loose we always play the show fast and loose it's been our mantra since the dawn of 404 time forget high-tech lowbrow the following it fast man that's maybe how we're gonna end the show today fast and loose grow so what's up what's up guys hip hop a show where you had Sharon Vaknin on house one man we got a lot of emails the babe ohmmeter went from zero to the table meter yeah Oh people like with a sample really dug Sharon yeah but we haven't had a female going on a while can't blame them I had friends uh personal friends who will remain nameless Jeff bacala sue who texted me after the show and they were like dude you work with that girl and I'm like not really i was like no she's from SF i see her once or twice a year yeah and well now you'll be under a lot more if you go to target oh that's really i didn't know that by the way before she actually said it on the show yeah so apparently seen that struck a deal with target stores and the electronics section so now if you go and look at products there will be a cnet review well then the problem that cnet reviews are really long so it's just gonna be like a page of text and like next to every single product I don't think that's how it works no no I think there's just like maybe the good bad bottom line little blurb and then maybe like stars no I've never been to a target so I don't know how they worry way yeah I've never gone shut up now I've been but it's going literally a decade right yeah well there's no targets in New York yeah there's one Brooklyn yeah that's Brooklyn I don't live there okay there's one in jersey city which is close to me but I can't remember ever go into it yeah but you should go and check out a scene at review and decide whether or not you should buy the one or two products that they have for sale there so yeah sure check it out I'm sure I feel like this should be lining our pockets or something that was probably a huge deal yeah I'm sure just in terms of the the financials right the legalities of it all right probably a multi-million dollar deal I think we signed a way that right when we took this job like anything we write for the site is game for placement wherever is that mean our face is gonna be on these placards to you are asking someone who knows maybe less than you do for the first time ever okay I might know less about the target deal than you do hmm ok so I don't know it's probably similar to the best buy thing you remember those who coolly was all over best buy yeah easy would be played on like Best Buy screen no I say I see them before reel it in all right I'll take your word for it yeah um can anyone tell me whether or not the xbox 360 seen at TV app is live yet I don't know apparently was supposed to go live this week let us know if you're in the chat room over here at home and you've seen it on xbox live you should be able to download the cnet TV app and apparently you can also watch the 404 show live on your xbox 360 like you're not using it for anything else like black ops 2 right but when you're taking a break you know when you've stopped jonesing for your black ops fix why don't you turn it on and watch the 404 shots a couple days yeah so so that's the story man some reading a little bit more about the scene at target partnership not to go back to an old topic but apparently they're choosing uh the only the most popular products will get the cnet reviews next to them which actually includes gaming of course so like the nintendo wii u when it goes to stores it'll have your review next to its been sale for 10 days yeah like the ipad mini suicide bit mom there none that you fainted say like Jeff bachelor's face with you you know you don't have you review unfortunately my headphone and printer reviews aren't included it'll be digital cameras tablets computers uh and cell phones gaming I didn't really the gaming things really happening yeah where you reading this you're there baby uh reuters/reuters yeah the hell is that we made it cool it's the big time really should have my name not even my name yeah I don't think so i think it just says you know a guy cnet guy seen that random white guy old Redbeard alright fair enough all right um all right let's uh let's let's see what else we got going on in today's run down let's talk about supercuts you guys watch supercuts you talking about that the haircut please yeah you guys go to supercuts i used to it was a kid you're not talking you don't mean i'm not talking about that supercut now talk about the much dirtier supercuts the videos that people compile it's like uh cut scenes from movies and that's where they're not super cow it's the thing that only like you're obsessed yeah exactly me and the rest of the internet no you know what I'm talking about right we've seen super cuts and use them for bathroom break videos right uh they're the videos that compile scenes from other video formats whether that's like TVs TV shows or movies and I usually they have a central theme around that's very very specific like we saw one that was aaron sorkin reusing lines from his movies and television shows uh there was another one that's like using imaging software to enhance in movies and people thought that was funny so one guy just put all those scenes together sure um yeah so slate was kind of wondering who who are these guys that just have so much time they can put together these giant super cuts because sometimes they'll be like five or ten minutes long of that'll contain maybe like dozens of movies and TV shows right um do you get do you have like a favorite supercut I mean we've shown so many no I like the ones um there was one really funny one I think I saw through you was like a bunch of people just given car keys to somebody you yeah you and I had that idea yeah I actually thought I was an existing no we did I just gave us came up with okay that's our that's our me to make that's ours um that there was a really good one of uh bunch of war movies were one of the characters says we've got company answers like a bunch of there was a good one obsolete kinda went into how to make a super cut and uh it whether people use software to find all these movies or it's like crowd submitted thing and uh they basically traced the first super cut back to a guy named christian marclay what do they do that just research i don't know yeah come up with this stuff but uh that they attribute him to be the godfather the super cut he came up with a video back in 1995 this was before a video editing software became really popular now it's really easy to come up with one but he made one called telephones and that was a seven-minute video of movie footage of people talking on telephones really basic concept and uh since then it's been more than a decade but uh yeah it's it's gotten more specific in themes so there's one that's really cool it's guy named Chris Zabriskie who came up with one of a lost super cut and they kind of profile this guy and how he made a video of this law supercut of characters saying what weird rather than you think that's bad dialogue bad writing but what's a character saying what in lost basically allowed the other character in the conversation to recap plots plot points in the story line then that would basically help the viewer you know remember what happened in the last episode just buy that one word yeah just buy that one word exactly and he came up with a supercut of like a bunch of character just going like what but why why why do that why do that why have these videos why this they seem completely pointless yeah it's like having a video for something that nobody requested right yeah I don't understand in like you know they're they're edited well but it seems like they would have taken dozens of hours to do right and you and what and what's the end result where's like the final you know do you cash in with that well that okay so if i don't know you guys have heard of a cycle actory right I mean we featured on this one on this may I yesterday times so slack turi compiled a bunch of supercuts they they frequently post them on their blog and they actually paid people to make supercuts of ideas that they come up with that's weird guess how much they pay I mean this guy died David zabriskie said that it took four hours for him to come up with our the law supercut and he had to go through every single uh script for every lost episode online and he just did a search for the word what and you think that maybe like he would come up with a soft wood like a piece of software that would scan the algorithm or something like that but no it just takes a lot of work right and uh they paid him a hundred and fifty bucks that's it super come for four hours yeah one yeah a hundred and fifty disguise getting jack yeah yeah Wow poor bastard but some people just do it for the likes because they have nothing else to do and they don't have any friends they want those YouTube views yeah and uh yeah I think I've talked to you by zip guys about this before access main computer file oh yeah I'm one of them uh the to know the war the amount of work that goes into a supercut right is much more time intensive right than just grabbing a screen yeah exactly so access main computer file done that is a tumblr that I started with a friend and uh basically it's just a bunch of screenshots from movies of graphic user interfaces so on so you know if you go back to like the eighties and nineties you'll see these screens and movies like hackers and True Lies a time there's like a technology scene with the hacker right he always has some like weird you I that they have to make just for that movie yeah um Sophia go to the site access main computer file dot net and hover over the screenshots it'll show you what movie it came from but same thing this just requires a lot of work like if we watch a movie for example like we rent a movie or seen on netflix and there's a scene like this if to either pause it or on the download the movie and then just take a screenshot of that exact scene but this takes a lot less work because you're not putting it into a video so it's not an actual video editing just screenshots but still takes a lot of work yeah sure and there's no reward I mean no one paid us a hundred fifty dollars to do this no wood and what are you getting at zero and not just the cool thing to have yeah just like a website I'd like to see a video version of this yeah it before see them interacting because they always say some weird things while they were working on the computers us the enhanced video is kind of like this other there's a supercut video online of a guy's going like enhance in there's our eyes yeah there's a bunch of um there's a bunch of like really weirdo especially from the early nineties like movies like a racer yeah yeah you know movies where we were like on the cusp of of the internet right breakout where everyone was familiar with like you know computer uh operating systems and whatnot and just right before that though it got so weird yeah you know now when you at least you you see a show they they almost are almost always exclusively using an Apple products a glee right so those days are gone yeah whether or not you like that that's another story all right let's uh let's move on to uh to trata Phi okay try to phi is a fantastic idea simply because i'm a gigantic monty python fan all right and i look i know you love riding bikes too so this is the perfect story yeah why mr. bike rider so trata phi is a project that's online right now it's a crowd funded projects you can contribute to this um it's kinda doubt actually I mean even as a cyclist I think this is kind of dumb uh so this is based on the Holy grill and you know how they use coconuts to mimic the sound of the horses running trotting right wait time I'd you've never seen that movie yeah yeah there's no no way no energy monty python movie i've seen have you now yeah i haven't seen anything else but money pot you really have been in the Holy girl sharing that yeah I've seen it a couple times actually name another scene from it um let does that scene where you like cuts off all of his limbs and he like keeps like fighting everybody seeing that easily might him I don't know I got I've seen it what's the deadliest i canna Lily hold a rabbit okay yeah the rabbit comes down lights a guy's neck blood goes everywhere I've seen the movie I don't know I'm totally skeptical Jeff right now I don't know how I can prove this to you can't question you can't you can't prove it but anyway they don't ride horses right and there's a running coconuts right and they make and uh Terry Gilliam is making that traffic noise with the tube carved out coconut stick this thing is like a modification kit for your bicycle yeah that will recreate the same ridiculous coconut trotting sound why is the only reason why amen price was really 40 bucks has been lowered to 32 that is a deal yes deal for piece of wood this is basically a wood kit it comes just like this we're looking at the website try to find calm and uh it comes in one flat slab and you actually have to pop the wood pieces out put those together to make a coconut with gears on it that attaches to uh I believe it's your yet attaches to the break bridge on your bike and every time the tire passes by it it triggers a pulley that then makes the coconut bob up and down somebody went to school got an engineering degree yeah I was like oh man how can i benefit society yeah i know i'm gonna make a coconut sound effect machine basically right it's like an advanced form of putting a card a baseball card in your spokes because they're yeah yeah yeah yeah you know it's like yeah probably this doesn't even come with a coconut though you gotta buy your own coconut email included what the coconuts just don't grow on trees uh yeah it's ridiculous but I mean as the more people order uh it's actually not shipping right now the more people that pre-ordered the lower the price gets so it started at forty dollars retail but now they've had a hundred thirteen orders so now prices down to 32 bucks could get lower all right what would you do if you saw someone riding by with this on I'd left cuz it's funny here's something Adam we put our head would throw a bottle oh yeah and take his coconut his head badge of you had a coconut in your hand a guy riding by with this a beautiful the only power fist yeah that is so weird oh god I mean I hate hitting on quote unquote hipsters but I can only imagine how many people in Williamsburg I in this death it's just gonna sound like a crazy like you know sort of island party and if in Brooklyn wherever you go is a be banging coconuts how much time and money do they spend on doing this I don't know I want no point their friends your people may there's a scene it logo on top of it yeah yeah your does your people reviewed it yeah well it's because of this uh blog that we put up here a couple days ago I see it's your people man these are not my peas are you dude the the cyclist of industry that scene is your people I think this ain't some like weird coconut ice hockey thing yeah is a weird-ass coconut bicycling which falls onto your side of the fence right I'll bring it up the next town home is it you gotta get your crew together assemble your crew properly what happened to uh the these bunch of my you students when they discovered that they would have the power to email 40,000 people at once wow this is crazy so they're calling this report reply all pakka lips kinda hard to pronounce anyway others I like to refer to as like the day and why you broke this happened yesterday uh NYU so they sent an email to students a couple days ago uh telling them to opt for paperless electronic delivery of their year's tuition form so you know you've gotten this before probably from your gas and electric company asking you to maybe offer an email instead of a piece of snail mail so this kid not really sure what to do his name is Max he forwarded that email to his mother but instead of forwarding he accidentally hit reply all common mistake I've done that before no big deal but uh unfortunately that reply all went to every single student at NYU that received that original email and that's thirty nine thousand nine hundred and seventy nine students to be exact that imagine you accidentally did that yeah you accidentally emailed 40,000 people a lot of people that is a lot of people it's it feels like a small number on paper that is an astronomical amount of people right so what happened so he just said do you want me to do this because he thought he was heading into his mom fortunately everybody got it so people started replying all to that email too and soon everyone discovered that 40,000 people were on this list Wow 24 hours later people are pissed because they keep getting all their inbox is flooded with mail and there's nothing they can do about nothing you can do about it and uh well I guess you could um you could maybe uh have set up like an account because just looking at their system it looks like it's based off Google right so they could set up a filter that would block out anything with that subject line or you could unsubscribe to the original email threat right um or you can mute it in in gmail to which is a feature that I didn't realize you could do until recently yeah um but yeah so people started responding with uh things like porn disk images a point for some reason people did like images of Nicolas Cage and Ryan Gosling is really like the collective unconscious of the internet coming alive even the nyu alumni and one of the hardest schools to get into in the or not the hardest but expensive yet and just a very School held in very high regard yet made up of a bunch of cavemen and recreated immediate isn't that said yep NYU NYU's finest here's a photo of Nick Cage yes I me blast that out to 40,000 people yeah does Oh some some people were posting like random questions like would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck you know the philosophical questions and people respond to that and uh lot of random stuff here but eventually the culprit confessed on the nyu local newspaper so now this guy's basically like a pariah nyu community dude named David Vogel saying of the NYU student resource centers his job to send out these emails asking people to opt into the digital said he effed up he asked he yeah he effed up so basically and why you used to use something called list manager to send out these emails right since then they've upgraded to something a new program called email direct and that doesn't allow for reply all messages that's why they switched over this fool David he made a grave mistake in using the older version which does allow you to reply all that's where he messed up uh so yeah he's basically an assistant to the Bursar's Office I don't know maybe he should resign resign do you know of course the advanced a resignation not know money is lost yeah it's just a big joke yeah and that's that although you know anybody could have done this at any time any good anyone could have blessed the entire student body right right you just know that that you know uh group list yeah yeah yeah exactly um so yeah he fixed the problem really quickly he just deleted everyone from the list re added them using the new system been done yeah I think the main problem is a bunch of these guys are going to get added on to other people's email little spammed out somehow it's not that fun try think if I have any experiences in my life um ask you has the same question if you know you ever made a mistake with email reply doll when you should have applied to one yes what did you do one that stands out more Google and will probably haunt me for the rest of my life oh man um so this goes back to 0 for when I graduated and I got hired by by Warner Brothers to go out and make a documentary for my for a band okay I'm not going to get too much into the specifics of it but we were conversing via email and you know this was like I was suppose I was like 22 I was right out of college I was nervous as hell because I was getting all this money to go on tour with a band and just document their their tour and I was you know I I did what Stacy to so we're like super nervous and I basically negotiated our contract by myself yeah but some twenty-two-year-old you know dickhead speaking with like a 50 year old Warner Brothers lawyer okay right that's cool it's cool but it was terrifying at the same time so here I am like negotiate like novel you know we're guys I'm pulling everything directly out of my liking like it's just it feels weird I'm just like spittin sup in there and they're buying they're like all this guy sounds great you know they don't never met me or anything like that and I did a good job I'd like to think we did a good job you could actually check out the Blooey but anyway um we were we were doing and we're going back and forth and towards the end of the negotiating process it got a little I got a little frustrated and you know how I am I don't really have a big temper but if i'm not happy i'm not gonna internalize that i'm gonna be vocal that I'm gonna let you know how I feel so during the time that we were doing this I was seeking advice from a family friend lawyer who was not at all in this type of litigation he was he specialized in like real estate or whatever was ok so here I am like going back and forth and I'm like forwarding emails from the warner brothers head lawyer right to the to my to my friend family friend lawyer and towards the end I did the old reply all thing and I accidentally wrote like what does this asshole think he's going to do for us like this or something like that and it went to the Warner Brothers guy and and the world like never had no you did something terrible right away and it's just too late yeah it's like dropping your ring down the faucet yeah we're gonna do it's gone forever there's nothing you can do about it there's no like let me intercept it before it gets to the guys mailbox no those days are gone so I just SAT there and I just didn't know what to do I was like this is over we're not gonna get to do that the two or the money's gonna get caned out but it wound up being okay I don't know what happened like I remember I just think like no I never heard from it he didn't respond to my reply so he definitely saw it and probably was just like I'm just gonna let this one go it's not time to deal with this crap yeah you know like so many things have been set in motion right to just pull out now would be a disaster for all parties involved so it was just one of those things but man imagine doing like this guy he probably was like doing litigation for like Madonna all these right and then here comes as you know snooty little beauty little traffic little you know what ya calling him an asshole man a he never you never acknowledged I didn't ever but but I never spoke to never again you did you like a haha JK or so there's no way you can recover from that well I i we I i was also dealing with other people within the company with like a in our people right and i never mentioned to them they never mentioned it to me some and I just kept talking to those people and that was that right and everything sort of went okay they all got the email too or just in just him just him and and and the lawyer I was talking is that crazy that is crazy socks man here I was like I'm I've I was this close to cry yeah I was like my lower lip was quivering I was like I felt like my whole career I'm like I'll never work in this town yeah yeah blacklisted yeah so so that happened which maybe explains a lot maybe there's been like an unseen hand yeah making sure I have a terrible life well yeah when you send out so many emails in your life and our it happens sometimes miss you know this happened to us one time I don't know if you remember but uh we I got an email from a PR person a while back arms the carpet thing huh where the carpet thing will tell the carpet story in a second okay okay yeah but yet this is basically a PR person that emailed uh me and we had been going back and forth about getting a product acquired and I won't say what the product is nobody ever sees do not I was trying to get a product sent to the office for review and I like the communication was kind of destroying it and we kind of went back and forth for a week or so and then I actually got an email from her boss emailing her about our conversation and I guess it was like an internal conversation that she had accidentally replied all too but that her boss was berating her about her method of communicating with me like oh you need to like be more on top of this like I don't know why this hasn't gotten taken care of yet like it was I mean it didn't have anything to do with me really I shouldn't have even been on the email but it was just weird to see her get like blasted by yeah so that do you remember that story like my GV old man this poor girl you know like I'm going to email me like look it's okay like I'm not mad yeah I don't take it out on this poor girl um that's isn't feel terrible yeah I got another story yeah can I do it is a carpet story now I'm gonna do the carpet or two that's kinda unrelated but you know I don't know I don't really have having all right so this is this is embarrassing but I'm gonna tell it anyway when I was 16 I worked as a counselor and a day camp and this particular camp that's terrifying enough for me is it so I was hockey guy there ok catch was they didn't have a hockey rink it wasn't finished yet this camp which will also remain nameless was like unfinished but they open for business for their first season anyway it was this camp was like seventy percent finished alright so their hockey rink was basically a slab of concrete with no boards around it how about you guys your play hockey with no boards is not exactly hockey it's like chase this ball even go gay right okay um so basically what happened was the summer ended and I was 16 I was naive I didn't know anything you know and they sent out an email to everyone asking people back and they're like all you guys all did a great job come back next summer okay I wasn't on that list because they didn't want me back because I guess I did a crap job not teaching kids how to play hockey with no board or something yeah whatever was so I wrote back so somebody forwarded me that email and i replied all to all the other counselors that got email to NS back so i was like not alike join me in my strike of like join me my revolution against this stupid camp and their stupid owners yeah i hate them they didn't bite me back there all a holes yeah every what did i do i replied all he went to like all the owners like 16 I'm like freaking out because I just emailed my first employer that I'm calling them every name under the Sun right that they didn't invite me back and then asking every other person who was really content with their job and really wanted to come back next year yeah to just not come back shit what is her name yeah and no at least he got Jen I got anybody oh I was so embarrassing that's not you I come back to see if you wanted I wasn't invited back it was half my lifetime ago but uh man that sucks the carpet story we never told anybody about this but years and years have gone by and I really really really want to tell this story kind of unrelated to email but still nevertheless a possible 404 getting in trouble with an identity about two years ago I know we're going totally off topic this is fun storytelling time two years ago we got a call from a guy who owned a company that sold carpet whatever the company was doesn't matter of the company was right they said he said you remember this now I don't remember this he said he sold carpet and he said he kept getting he's like he goes he goes who is is like I want to speak to the the the manager there more like well this is the radio show uh we can talk I can talk to you yes so we had our members you me and Wilson here and we're talking to this guy in there on the phone it was right here and I had him on speaker yeah and he said and he was cursing right he was he was mad he said what's going on over there he's like you know he's like you know a goddamn calls him getting forget it's saying your show told them to call up my carpet company yes yeah yeah yeah I see the car become because I want this time so he's like he's like oh no he's like I callbacks one of the prankers any uh and I put his mom on the phone yeah and his mom said it was the 404 show so it looked you a holes up on the internet found your phone number now I'm calling you right I'm like dude we have no idea what you're talking about yeah like sounds like you just got punked by a kid and he just put the blame on us for no reason in particular you know which is fine anyone could blame us for stuff that's fine I don't care so that and then we went back and forth and then he called back and said that he was gonna sue us right do you call this bag he goes I want to talk to your lawyer because I guess he found out like we were owned by CBS and and then the money signs are already said right so he threatened to sue us right that's when I was like all right enough of this crap and I really really you memorized the conversation I have with this guy hey back the hell off yeah I was pissed now man look you piece of crap you've got nothing you got no proof whatsoever you son of a bitch yeah Wilson and I were dying weird that is your life yeah that's the way i was talking right but what happened was um I think if you changed one number on our phone number 86 explore 04 seen it right now that wasn't it well because we because we kept looking at the dial here and we're like there's no way anybody could have ever thought that our two numbers were the same well then why did it how did he get powerful must have been like a I don't know if it was like 40 it was like 40 for kids that decided they're just gonna do this or if it was just the one kid I was probably that was probably the one kid that he called up and when he got the kid nervous and had his mom bet on the later on landed on us yeah which bad is even crazier cuz it's like this one you know degenerate kid is like I'm gonna blame the show I mean imagine if actually went to litigation we went to court and then finally found out this kitchens lied to his moms no no this Gary go on a little put this guy at a business right you know I mean what with ABS forget are we kidding I mean not to like just you know if there's one thing they were psyched about it that the lawyers are we got back up really on our side you know don't listen to the show be like you know let's just cut our losses yeah yes get rid of that yeah that's probably what would happen but anyway crazy story yet don't mess with us is the moral no that's not this yet more right you see ya I mean that's that's not the most intimidating either but anyway it was it was a funny story yeah yeah let's take a break right okay little do little detox when we come back we've got some voicemails to play as well as maybe one or two stories all this and much more on the other side of the break stay tuned you welcome back to the 404 program I kind of want that yeah I want that how long man that is cool we've seen a lot of things printed by 3d printers seen like hermit crab shells prosthetic limbs NASA parts are gonna send up to Mars with the shuttle but this is by far the coolest excited about sat it's totally said this was basically a robot that has a Wi-Fi camera built onto it it's a transformer it goes from what looks to be I think a Lamborghini into a full robot neca I want it's really really cool so that's why I camera on the front now they're not selling it so basically this is like a proof concept thing that they're showing at maker faire at Tokyo that's a five-thousand-dollar thing right there yeah I mean it was all printed with 3d parts so yeah the design is up here it's made to order but I don't think they're selling it yet um that's it's pretty sick we'll link up to that in the show notes today before we hit the couple of boys smells we got gotta talk about this story about a couple who wants to name their child hashtag not once did did Amy name their kid has named their kid hashtag yeah so a couple with the Nate with the last name Jameson named their newborn daughter hashtag please welcome hashtag Jamison hey you know honest that's not that surprising yeah I don't really have a problem slate com rights in defense of why it's okay to name your kid hashtag right and what were they saying completely link bait here so the story behind this is that daily dot reported on it and it's pretty likely that it's a fake story I mean anyone could have tweeted this out and put hashtag Jameson so it may or may not be true we did hear a story last year I think I'd of Egypt about man who named his son Facebook and that was true so I guess this could be but the bottom line is that a slate posted an article that is just refuting points that people would say about why you can't name your kid something like hashtag so I he brings up like oh if you think it's too unusual like well there's a lot of reasons why people do things just because their usual does mean you can't uh short-sighted whatever it's just as bad as getting uh like an obsolete echt a two he basically says it's not really that big of a deal I don't think it is to name your kid hashtag and you agree with it I do why because you have the right to name your kid whatever you want except if you're naming your kid like we had we reported on a while ago which I do consider to be child abuse if you name your kid Adolf Hitler bakalar right like come on yeah you can't do that that's child abuse right that kid is going to have a very uncomfortable child right right right if you name your kid something that is always associated with hate for racism or bigotry right you just can't do yeah yeah you can't name your kids swastika Johnson you just can't do it right yeah can name your kids skinhead Joan right yeah I mean it's not it's not abuse its not illegal you can do whatever you want but I'm making the case that doing that is abuse yeah yeah because you are essentially dealing your kid this predetermined hand yeah that is going to get his ass kicked yeah I think to a lesser extent hashtags the same thing I mean it's always gonna prompt conversation every time this kid says his name someone's gonna ask him the story behind it or make fun of him I mean that asking in the story is the best case what hashtags he could very well get his ass beat he could but there are plenty of worse names I mean looking like some of these like football players names yeah like what's that dude D'Brickashaw Ferguson is that a name isn't that his name I don't know brick a shot ricochet brick a sha so like what's it I mean come on that's fine because there's as as wacky as it sound right I hope I'm saying that right someone in the chat room will tell me every be mrs. like not like they name the kid Nickelback yeah seriously you know you do have you could like I said you can and even if you want a name your kid something racist you can do that you have the right to do right but there's a fine line between if whether or not that's that's abuse yeah let me put hashtag dude come on that kid might be the coolest kid ever HD in in five years when he's you know inducted in to the school system might be the greatest thing ever right hashtag might become the new you know it's like name you could yell oh right i mean i think i think beyond all that like you just kind of complicating his life yeah forms and stuff like that you're not be rejected all the time right but but psych for makes our grade for you can point the chat room think about the kids signature man yeah it's the number sign yeah I'm done get tagged it everywhere too yeah that'd be cool mmhmm yeah Oh D'Brickashaw Ferguson plays for the Jets I should have known that and that's his name D'Brickashaw yeah all right that's okay anja birkenshaw meet hashtag hashtag shake hands hahaha that's how it goes i guess like okay we all have friends with like funny names of strange names I got a friend in high school named Harry dog at another friend in high school named uh Peter pain and Yuki pain and you're worried about the hashtag yeah and you have a girl named Charlie Chan those the debt when / fine the difference is that those parents had no idea that these kids had funny names it was an accident but this kid it's a deliberate thing for his parents to be like I want to make it out of your name I don't know if anything's your game you could hashtag is necessarily okay it's not you know what I mean it's not like you're naming it peckerhead yeah I mean like a hashtag is benign hello peckerhead peckerhead back a lot that's a good middle name you know nintendo nintendo pecker head back nintendo is is pretty benevolent too yeah you know as far as I'm concerned what do you think well by hashtag hashtags okay yeah it's it's cool I think New Year's what's up yeah hey down your knowledge you go to school yeah that's cool man don't thing is you have to at one point become a trending topic I'm right you have to or else you don't live up to your name for sure not only that like there's shortened nicknames for hashtag com hash and then he's just hash he's got a deal with that Thank you're just gonna add Nash work for Ashton or Ashley more like a skag that's probably it that's something to say yeah yeah you sayin just sayin yeah game just say you realize something I only together is gonna in someone named their kid ESPN or something like that probably come on hashtag is the least of these infractions right all right that's what I think interesting that is what I think okay what I'm gonna start calling you hashtag you yeah oh there's my good buddy hashtag thank you how goes it hashtag yeah right yeah you're okay with a real name all right before we get to calls from the public I want to uh oops I got all kinds of crap going on right here right now before we get the calls in public I want to tell everybody what they can expect tomorrow on the program tomorrow we're gonna have a guy named Jeff Nimoy yeah who apparently is somehow related to Leonard Nimoy yeah distant cousin of list he's like a he's like a cousin first removed or something like that I don't know how it works but he's going to be here talking about a website that he's designing for people who have like-minded appetites right the dating site for people who eat the same kind of interesting might as well do that they've seemed to have done every other thing right um so we're gonna get to that same play.com right yeah he also voiced a lot of the characters in a couple Digimon movies yeah wow yeah Jeffy I know you don't know what did you mom I've just learned today yeah that is but he did a bunch of fox kids shows one of them was Digimon so maybe talk to him about that too but yeah the bigger story is about same plate com it's all very new and exciting for me yeah so we're pumped about that so tune in tomorrow for that and then on Friday Steve the gut man guttenberg spear himself comes back on the show too to say goodbye for the week and a week of celebrities on the 405 right fun never star Karen so you got a lot to look forward to if you're a fan of the show and yeah so so stay tuned for that and we're gonna get two calls from the public right about now time to show the love for scenic uh Justin what's so freaking funny nothing just thinking about did you mud I don't know what is it uh it's a TV show like part of it yeah except their digital Digimon stands for digital monsters oh yeah of course they look at my notes here started taking notes on paper yeah um hell is it oh here we go so we got three calls today that will get to and arielle you might know the answer to this one I think we all can sort of speak to this let's hit up the first voicemail hey does Boston from snide I only question I think aarielle would probably know the best of this Oh first of all don't ya don't be upset of the way he says your name area dude wicked aerial is how a dupe ah okay okay Ari's excuse he's excuse it is not calling you like a mermaid dang yo wicked Arielle yeah he said you know what I'm saying yeah girl get your happy yeah I'm fine yes arias bitch when I was young man yeah yeah broke his mouth where each song blends into the next track but when I rip them to my mp3 player or even my phone there's a brief half second pause at the end of each track I even tried ripping them to FLAC and it got the same results also another tangent I cut a little bit of thanksgiving parade do you guys think that the Egyptian sphinx was possibly their Macy's parade do you think like BB thousand years archaeologists and historians will be talking about how we would pray to Charlie Brown and Snoopy each year in Dallas and in Detroit Opera glorious from each side would be shooting a pigskin object at each other I like where he's going with that yes crazies he's going down that like crazy spiral down there uh okay first let's that smoke would he smoke yeah let's get on that yes that number one all right so so you've you know this problem with non tracks let's address that first yeah if i understand them correctly he said when he rips like a mix a DD yeah to his to to itunes yet he gets the the brakes yeah I think that might be a playback issue in itunes I think you're right I don't think there's really a way to do it because you know CDs when CDs would play they would just go into one another you know what I mean there was no gap between the tracks mm-hmm there I guarantee there's a way to do it with the right playback thing yeah there's definitely maybe there's a setting in itune there is a setting there's a setting in itunes word like what you like one minute or 1 second pause began song yeah whatever that is a gap or some yeah exactly yeah pause God well I think you can put that down to zero yeah you could take it down to zero if you do it at zero it might be a seamless play from one track to the now I don't know but I obviously know what he's talking about remember how like CDs used to have like negative time yeah in tracks to like number like you could I always remember though that less than jake album losing streak if you were around the first track into like negative two minutes you would hear this whole you know pre-law yeah you know Tommy you know you know her that I think so it's awesome yeah bone thugs and harmony had something like that to the they used to be all into the devil like worshiping stuff free and they would have like little subliminal messages yeah really i thought bone thugs with satanic yeah they were at first they were his bone and biggie yeah yeah anyway so that's that and then he's talking about the whole parade thing do you watch any of the parade uh yeah i watched some of it you know a lot yeah that was how i found out that elf was a musical right write didn't realize that sustained range tradition we Americans do yeah i just from like you know looking in on another country out of looking from the outside in i could see that being a little strange giant balloons it is strange alright so thanks for the call schnide you're a wicked pissah hopefully the answers yes hopefully that helps um here's some Yuletide ideas from our buddy let's see if we can pull this off hey this is mike from PA and I was just calling in because the last episode that I listen to you guys are talking about you'll time episode ideas for you thought I am episodes that you guys are asking a Jewish for and i'm too lazy to email years so i figured i should call i think one of the things you do is justins review on the Godfather trilogy that I know he didn't watch yet nope and the other movies that he was supposed to watch any know so I forget whatever wants you guys designed go but I'm pretty short Godfather trilogy was the big biggest one of all and you should do an episode on his review of The Godfather joji and whatever other videos that he was supposed to watch and that probably would kill 20 minutes it'll kill an hour and a half because you never do your homework with that oh well let me just say three sizes my cousin yeah my cousin vinny i watched and loved i also watched Super Troopers watch that after they were freaky came in the door loved after they were actually here regretted man being on that interview and that was and that was the big thing I'm like dude watch this before these guys come couldn't do it

Raiders of the Lost that's right great that's all you need to watch a cousin but don't see that check that don't put the don't compare I know you said thank you watch godfather too much you tomorrow emotional investing what are the Shawshank Redemption rank on a Tuesday evening right idea yeah yeah that's how little boys get out of like cleaning their room you big pussy listen okay this is what you should do okay at least don't watch Angus watch pee-wee's big adventure man that is not an emotional investment at all it might be cuz you're partial bikes but I'm just saying yeah watch that don't rewatch Angus the hell you doin watching Angus Angus is a bad mood I'm not angus is great don't come in here and tell me about any other film until you've watched pee-wee's big adventure it's
