2015-05-01
you hey what's going on everyone welcome to the 404 show on this friday may first 2015 to my left mr. ayahs akhtar how are you sir welcome back thank you very much to help welcome me back we've brought Russ thrush dick longtime friend of the show to the program on this friday afternoon how are you sir I'm lovely thank you new dad yes so I guess we got to get that out of the way huh yeah right it's I think it's sort of the elephant in the room the baby open in the room then we don't know the name because I didn't report it you don't know the nit well the audience doesn't know the name I'm not sure ok the audience know the name I guess facebook and I didn't know if it was public or not so I didn't say it on the show while you were out fair enough my babies my new son his name is Dylan mm-hmm he is a strong child he's from families like emotionally strong you mean yeah he's emotionally strong yeah physically strong because already walking around that's awesome ice skating Wow and he's actually learned to play the guitar as well ok that's some dexterity for a baby is that a full-size guitar like a ukulele you don't know we're only doing like a smaller you know ukulele sort of situation less impressive as ukulele you're right I know I must rings yeah I mean the amount of regret I already have as a parent is it's just completely off the charts anyway uh I want to thank real quick everyone so many people wrote me emails and like sent me little love notes and advice you know and and everyone in the subreddit who really took time to like give me you know little hints and and like I said advice and in words of encouragement I got a lot of emails about you know people say it was talking about naming the kid I got from some really smart people around the the country in the world so I want to thank every single person who reached out even if I didn't you know right back to you I read everything and I appreciate it and I thank you Stacy Stacy and I thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts because I guess Dylan doesn't rhyme with anything gross villain is cool Dylan there that's cool Ilyn but it's not like everyone's with fart no no no that would be the concern yeah we weren't we weren't trying to do fart right rhyming names the smart book so what I really actually wanted to talk about real quick is the names that got rejected so for the longest time so Dylan was always on the list her Dylan was on a very short list of about three names the other names were Ethan okay and Ethan Ethan's very hot right now yeah that would be my concern is picking the name and then you read that list they release it and it's like oh these are top 10 most popular baby names oh my kid is like number two yeah that would be Mike and that's really fun when you're in a park and trying to call your kid by name it's like seven kids turn around yeah it's a real problem so Ethan is like number six okay the last four years that's how so I was like all right you know like when we were growing up it was like Matt right and my goal and Michael her and and now I have 19 idiot friends with that names yeah we're like all right maybe let's go a little off the beaten path so so um what else was on that we were hobbled her Pablo was in tahvil that's like Pavel Datsyuk of course ah no we were thinking about Tyler okay Tyler was on the list but I feel like Tyler is making his way up sure yeah i think in popularity gracing maybe sure there's a lot of him i feel like these are all pretty grounded names was there like window was that one of the options no spectacle spectacle spectacle back alarm was uh was it was up their soundcheck name with a spectacle back alarm yeah that's a lot of um willow so my my kind of like out of the box suggestion that I still to this day I'm open to and will change his freakin birther w I really wanted to Nate and people are gonna call me crazy I wanted to name my son Jamie Jamie Jamie that's what I want to do why is that out of the box right oh so it's it's historically a female name not ignoring to a song of fire and ice exactly Jaime Lannister right gene not exactly the person you want to emulate all right hello ji Kennedy sibling first where to get weird sure uh Davey Kennedy you got actually me Kennedy right Amy Fox there's a hockey player jamie langenbrunner Jamie's kind of Jamie's quit isn't that short for James I was so short for James um I don't know where do you get to the point where name because the first three letters are the same right but it's like some people named James are called Jimmy mm-hmm you know so sure I think but his name would have been James Jamie we've been like Jay am I e right whatever okay or whatever you didn't actually finalize this matter well we didn't so yeah we we didn't even finalized on Dylan until he was about two and a half days old really that's weird because we just called him baby baby Bakalar weird Phoebe Phoebe okay so yeah he for a while he was kind of nameless huh hey you as you walked into it oh this guy this is the guy right here I know you but think about it you know we were between it was like the whole Tyler and they were like you know there were things happening and and I then then I see I save this to the end and I made up I made a late game push okay post-birth yeah I wanted him Corbin cor wot ya after korben Dallas yes right multipass yeah yeah didn't fly yeah there was a happenin Oh Corbin did she appreciate the reference uh I don't even think she appreciated the reference no see the second Corbin that I think of was from major league burns Corbin Bernsen which one that's right is that it he plays Roger Dorn oh that actor that plays Roger Dorn oh the shortstop you was like he's like the dad on psych right now okay no no I say okay major week really come on door none of this only shit that means April too early for a Roger Dorn night that would have been definitely a connection all right um yeah well I wouldn't I wouldn't have you know related to that but fine story if it's past i'm sure this little kids would have made a lot of corbin bernsen corbin bernsen that's his name we go real fan had they spell it cor bi n so korben Dallas doesn't yeah hey oh he does AKO and really obnoxious what I would have done concerning a license plate with that when you go to Disney World right Corbin oh yeah additional Corbin is this that's what use the common co are bi n anyway shot down that was really it that was like the shortlist arm I feel like I had I feel like I should be answering a lot of you what names did you shoot down because I'm sure Stacy had her own idea no we're not naming this kid so we had like a doc of names that were just it was getting stooped right like there were like 38 names and we had we had narrowed it down to like five there were she was hot on Teddy Teddy like Theodore Theodore Theodore Bakalar but um I don't know if you should necessarily name your kid just for the nickname I know what I mean yeah I got a friend of dude that I'm not I'm not I'm not above it I'm just saying what's good about Theodore and teddy is that he has a lot of options he does like he's going to hit a seal yeah CEO is cool right uh there are a lot of variations of Theodore uh what else was she hot on we owe Blake Blake Mackel are like what is he like a villain and 80s high school band alliteration rides a motorcycle like bakalar and his gang of tough guys see my whole thing is I kind of didn't hate Blake but then I incidentally now think of that uh that country dude Blake Shelton and I'm just so turned off by that D and now preppy evil kid is what springs to mind from right and we weren't gonna do any of those like Kyle or sky later yeah we're in a Tyler but not Scott Tyler will cuz Tyler you know more gravity like cousins pretty badass so durden would be an interesting name yeah they're in bakalar you know durden um it just sounds fun so yeah you you somehow pulled it off with aldrin yeah I named him Aldrin under the astronaut yeah you guys I have a weird name and his mom got a weird name her name is Merlin Merlin ARL YN like the magician no like I'm like Mickey Mantle's wife and grandmothers name is Merlin yeah there's a hot name like in the 40s or something that's it sir grandmother's name is Merlin and I guess Merle Merle yeah Murtaugh tomorrow any are no girls so we're like you know our name got hacked to death in school she was called Marilyn I was was called anything else but I as I was called a as a lot which I get with the Ian name because his I in the front of course it's not like you know what's up what's a cool name that not like that everyone's gonna have and it's actually gonna test the teachers that the teacher doesn't know who buzz aldrin it right the second man on the moon that guys do basically designed all the tests for every astronaut and every like spacewalk there yeah they don't know how to pronounce it maybe the kid doesn't go to this school yeah right so we went with aldrin it's like it's a things at this second name first name I came up with yeah I was good to the alphabet my dog's name is Audrey after the 3com Audrey the computer that nobody knows about anymore that's a weird thing to name a dog yeah she's not named at Audrey I was thinking Audrey to from Little Shop of Horrors I've you know I've never seen never nobody FC nine once then I can shut that up better before anybody said sending me emails about Little Shop of Horrors which is on HBO now yeah Oh Jeff chat down on ethics uh yeah I will see it again the names a tough thing and and I really wasn't I mean I did always liked Dylan from the very beginning even when I was a young kid I remember being all our genomics with Dylan is one of character I don't know why I always liked Dylan had nothing to do with 90210 yeah it's just bad st you wanted him named after a perry then there's that weird fifth element connection again with Luke oh yeah Aziz light as he's like so yeah that's the kid's name his middle name is after his uh his mother's maiden name so it's dylan davis back alarm very nice there you have it that seems very common these days well the middle name thing very common you can't get oh you can do whatever you want grace davis worked because that can fly right I've heard other attempts at doing that we're like you just can't Oh middle name can't be Friedman right you know I have heard the opposite I've heard I know all kids with middle names and the middle name is like enormous and the last time it's like enormous it's a nice little sandwich yeah so yeah Herbert the birth was very smooth okay quick let's get really detailed you heard the whole story I told Rosie did you actually left on that Friday really oh I think we're having a kid or something and he just left yeah it was that actually the day of the birth or so that was friday the 10th arm it was she gave birth that night at 3am so it's it was saturday the 11th is his birthday we went to the hospital right when i got home and the doctor because she had called the doctrine you gotta come in and we get there and the doctor was like uh you know you're just not there yet so we're like shit what would we do uh and I was like be honest with me like what she's like go home and then just see what happens but then around 11pm that night her her water broke yeah and she was in only I guess in true active labor for about four hours which is luckier than yeah lucky her is right but I was amazing from like from that point where she was in excruciating pain to like a little baby crying out in the real world was really that's sorta like roller coaster like you know generally I guess I know a lot of people it goes on for longer but that is like sort of a rapid definitely you could tell to like when all the doctors and all the nurses are coming in and they're just like you could just tell like everyone's like oh this is accelerator oh we're gonna wrap this up like they're looking at the clock on the wall and they're all like we're gonna go for a record yeah like I remember the nurse this nurse had kept saying to me she's like by three don't worry by three o'clock and sure enough nine after that Joe Pesci is a nurse where you buy three don't worry about it three o'clock this kid's gonna be here you don't worry Oh market so yeah that was it and everything's been pretty good he's he's a good man and uh I'm just uh yeah everyone's talking about not having sleep in uh and I've been sleeping okay cuz he goes in these like for our spurt and ice and what does the deal in terms of breaking up that responsibility of waking up and like dealing with him well so Stacy's been amazingly generous with that for the days that I've come in just let me not get okay which is amazing sure but I like a night like tonight he'll wake up I change him there give him the boob and then you're and then my I'm pretty much done until the next time of Christ right yeah so what Stacy also has to get out well she's gotta feed up right with her with her with her boo no I understand so we kind of figured that yeah so what do you weigh esta cuestiĆ³n yeah what am i what is directly economical standpoint what are you like she's getting up anyway yeah why do I get up I mean to be supportive sure but like an actual benefits shared misery yeah you got a tag team in a little bit i mean I'll be honest you know I almost feel like I get better night to sleep when I am getting up just now I'm just being woken up by a crying baby right I'm like sitting there and everything's happening in the room and I might as well just get up better sure I understand you know so maybe between the three of us yeah next week when I come back for three days of the week maybe I'll sleep in a different room or something oh that's a good idea you're gonna fall asleep on the couch yes Oh have you considered so in in Peter Pan they use the dog as a nanny I believe it's even called nanny or nano perhaps the sheepdog right have you considered that as an option yes and Marty he's he's up to the task okay it's amazing what this dog is doing sure but the amount of like instinctual sort of need your things that have kicked in with him yeah where he's just he's he's org I know I'm like shifting your joke to like reality right but he he he's like genuinely interested and is very inquisitive about that you do that hat thing that I don't do it we did that um and you know he's he knows he's like a very delicate living share organism and he's he likes to you know he's got a couple licks of his head in which I guess there's nothing we can do but he's been looking I just got really small so how did this go get to the level of the babies yeah he's real small so how did these only like 30 pen you're holding the dog in one arm and no so here comes up on the count your hold on her arm heals just like and just give it a little even fur to me insisted all right I think it's dog lick oh no you thought he's got spitting in his mouth I mean he's licking his head what's right the problem telling me for a baby yeah yeah cuz when he has the like dog tongue imprint on always ever ever it's not like that like dad why do I have this weird like dent in here so you you've been through this you're how old your boy is now he's almost 50 so he's like an old manor yeah but uh amazingly enough Dylan is like lifting his head he's moving it around side to side that toy every day of my life I know and you do it real well no one ever applauds me God knows how you do top your shoulders there that doesn't advance though because you have to do like that tummy time tummy time he's killing it already he's literally you put him on his belly and he lifts his head from side to side for a three-week-old that's that's pretty good right sure I don't remember you know it's all a haze like all of this stuff of like you're barely sleeping and then there's like lots of books and there's lots of apps they're like oh this is what they're supposed to be doing it's like I never like whatever happens he's going to be outfit there's gonna be like a VR solution for parenting pretty soon where you just strap the helmet on the kid and lick leave it for six hours and it's like does education does mothering and you're set well here's what I'm surprised that they'll freak out when you take it off right what is this horse yeah oh my god well that's really what happened because essentially the things in the in the uterus for nine months in this like super tight comfortable apartment and then all of a sudden it's like it's like when red gets out of prison and he doesn't know what to do is lie phonetic hanging it she doesn't know knows no other life exactly and it's such a traumatic transient read who's read was who was the old guy that hangs himself in Shawshank Redemption um I know I knew what you meant was here I knew what you was here it's just this traumatic Japanese women and and literally I look hi everything right so you know you look at it and that the most popular belief right now is that like the the three months after its bone for the Travis is the fourth trimester where the kid came out just because it biologically had to you know as a means of like guru it still be in the pack totally yeah uh or any other animal I guess that can have a bigger uterus past larger head and so that's the thing so it's so weird so like he barely you know his eyes move around but it doesn't make eye contact he doesn't have real control over vase in us yeah yeah he's a dodgy little bastard you know with something you slap them around and yellow cake but yeah so this whole sort of like gestation period outside of the womb I'm surprised they haven't decided to like pop on a VR on a baby just to recruit just to continue that you know fetal sort of experience you left you smile it's like someone's gonna do horrible ideas I like light well I'm not I don't want to do it I get night lights it's a solution that's like I don't know what it looks in there but its pitch black in there you wouldn't see it yeah yeah I think we're like supposed to put the kids like head near your heart so can your heartbeat that's right but it was picture like inner space but I don't think it's like which is such a great and like the infrared yeah right like body Wars the right the disneyland move it exactly that's that's that's recommended you would really know a lot of lighting if you went in there like you need a lot of luck that's why you get hue lights there you go no right you know go red it's probably dark inside your body but a hundred percent but i'm sure there's parts where you can some like yeah some transverses sure that's true right an hour i don't know about translucence in the uterus though how many oh there's a lot of lady you got like you've got amniotic fluid in the way and so it's probably fluids clear but that's it's goopy and it's gonna be anyway I didn't want to get into the party but like the matrix like hanging in that thing how about this I'm not gonna get Gurion you everyone wants to know about the actual moment of birth really everyone what's a nova that's what everyone asked me I did you watch oh yeah everyone's ass it's more a question about you that is the actual money they don't want the details this is gonna know if I did you survive that it is not as gross as you oh oh you were you imagining like alien well no I had seen that as much as you think i had seen it like videos of it the way we all do in middle school this was in higher res this was an HD this is over H this is over a super 8 k oled yeah this isn't it's not as intense what I was and maybe this is this is the most graphic I'll get okay the umbilical cord ish is such a magical sort of thing in terms of like what it looks like like it looks like somebody jilted and it's like a product yeah it looks like fuck it looks like it was made yeah just an wissen a product awesome man Ralph Nader right god bless that Ralph Nader well it doesn't it looks like something out of alien like my like cut like if you ripped it off like they're the alien ship right like the whatever a prop from a good day yeah yeah like a Geiger oh so so yeah that's where we'll I guess we can now it's on your mantel yeah now yeah we just let that harden up the bronze it man it was crazy you know it's just it's weird you know that he's born he comes out and they put him on this like you know warming table yeah like where you put french fries sure McDonald's post their fries yeah and I just like put my finger and he just grabbed it right and in love was like the first thing he tells the first human he touched well second night they all had dogs oh yeah I was thinking about Stacy there no she doesn't count cuz that doesn't count for a while that's why I still one am i touching my heart right now are you touching it you know you're touching your kidneys right now come on well what no you mean like cuz it was inside to you yeah I guess you are but she I was the first thing he grabbed well here's a question when you guys have sex is she touching you is effectively that's all we're talking about anyway we go that was a great you got me there Yancy oh my goodness that was great but yeah that's the story thanks again to everyone who reached out it's been it's been a wild ride and yeah you know he'll be on the show next week so oh my god we have to do this ad real quick nothing's wrong with your podcast it's

thanks I as I i feel very dirty right now let's get back to the show all right let's let's let's uh turn the tables towards Russ fresh dick oh boy and this is something we got asked in our subreddit as well I'm just going to let you answer this okay uh so you you you know you've been on the show since you left polygon you've been doing a lot of things what are you doing okay what is fresh day doing so question week I have been doing a lot of things over the last six months um many different things and I all I can really say and this sort of sucks but I'd love to be able to talk about it but in the very near future i will be doing one specific thing which is very very cool that I can't quite talk about yet uh you dodgy son I know I know but it's cool and and literally within the next I would say two weeks certainly also the timing of this appearance on the show is perfect well it would be perfect if I could actually talk about it but I can't quite yet it's a pre announcement but so suffice to say you will be hearing if you care you will be hearing about what I'm doing and I'm very excited to be doing it it is not a one hundred percent removed from what I had previously been doing but it is different as well so okay that's vague yeah thats all right i'm gonna do a thing that you might have done before honestly this is just an excuse for Jeff to have me back so I can actually talk about it Charlie all right so you've answered 0 yeah of the questions on my sheet right but I guess I have no choice but to accept that you can nod and smile and appreciate my k genus alright and the ability to move your head see that's what's so intriguing about you you're just this bundle of mystery right and I guess that's what I'm that's what draws me to babies are also vinyl mr. so me and your baby we got along calm very similar all right well guess we'll just take that answer Russ fresh to gives up to we don't know what but Helen on sit very soon yeah that's exciting yeah it's cool all right well you can still talk a little bit about video games I can't I can't i've been playing a lot of video games so what have you been playing so I've just been playing destiny and that's it yeah no no no good night everybody I don't know ah lets you know what destinies I'm aware if you don't play games at all I don't you literally no better to me than Justin was you don't know what capacities means Justin knew nothing there are a good game well like I know that destiny like it basically is like a halo clone Angie and I don't I know the story behind it and like basically was kind of what's the word lukewarm reception to the whole thing and it's kind of on say pointless but it's not amazing right is everybody it's super exciting and everybody came out was little this rocket scientist still plays it over my head which I just blows me that's what I know um so you're still playing destiny my destiny amazing kind of crazy that's because crazy and crazy is accurate because I would imagine only a person with severe issues would continue to play this game as much as yeah I don't think I don't play it every day but I do play it I would say certainly once a week cuz i have a group that we play and it's fun for an evening not an obligation that you play it's a social thing I get that and it's not like randoms like its actual people I know and it's like a fun for that for like the group activity it's a lot of fun i could totally get if you're playing solo I don't know what would keep you playing for that long but yeah I mean I've already spoken at length about destiny of course totally get why people aren't into it but it's cool so what else gotten better what else you finished blood-borne what you finished it I Platinum's blood-borne what what does I'm amania we know my trophy achievement TX 0 for people who don't know bloodworm was this amazingly difficult difficult RPG relentless made by the people that made Dark Souls and demon souls and you you a hundred percent yeah platinum did yeah how did you do that I'm I'm good at video games Jack Thomas it took me a really long time just to finish just a beat the cleric beast yeah well I will say he is actually one of the hardest bosses in the game I don't think they balanced it right okay it like Peaks it took me about twenty three times yeah he's obscene n and the camera is all terrible it's one of my least favorite boss fights okay so for someone who maybe is variant by a game like blood yeah about your amazing achievements as game what advice do you have for those people um I would say if you've never played a Dark Souls game before feel free don't feel bad about reading guides for the game totally cuz you will get very frustrated very quickly especially on boss fights and the game is still really really difficult even if you're reading guides it's not like you're cheat and get everything and you had to do that to finish the game uh for parts there were parts when I was like I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing and and there were like helpful tips yeah I mean it's a gorgeous game it's one of the bring these games I've played it's really the art style is like Victorian crazy werewolves and I was just really really impressed by it and I put the crap at it for like three weeks how many hours do you know cuz there's no timer there's no time around it their crate I hate no I don't know if there was um although I've looked at my destiny timer and it's just depressing what is it how asked I look is it over a thousand hours no no no i think around 400 400 hours quick what does that equate to in days and days i said 10 work weeks oh god that's horrifying they should destiny should be paying you they that is not my new job uh so yeah i don't know i would say probably like 40 hours that's not too bright boy it wasn't crazy I you know I'm ps4 they actually track rarity on trophies so you can actually see which trophies like a lot of people have and and right almost no one has the platinum trophy on blood-borne is not crazy it's two percent that's actually pretty high that is high for ya huh but you know so you did it you and and and you think anyone can finish this game if they're self disciplined enough I think there are a lot of people that will quit just out of frustration but yeah absolutely I it's actually I think it's probably one of the easier of of the three games definitely these I think it's easy yeah all right very good III is around the corner would you be going to I am going to e3 you are yep no way I booked like last week because of this new thing okay up yeah I got an Airbnb very close to the convention center god bless Airbnb because otherwise I'd be staying in una del Rey we write nightmare and yeah so that's very exciting that is very exciting I'm III is a weird show this will be my I think 14th oh my god which is crazy um and I always like get a dreaded part partially dreddit but there's always a big chunk of me that's like excited why did we not have like an e3 bar mitzvah thing for you last year that's a good question that's a very common thing that people do is have you free bar mitzvahs so really we should have I mean come on if I come up with in this chair right now yes oh man we're doing it right now yeah love to do it at the hotel figueroa alright so anything already got your attention he's a weird this year in particular is like very weird because I I mean this like halo 5 you know games coming out it either there's no games or there are games and we just don't know about them but honestly I think it's more the it's more of a push away from like giant triple-a and more indie and like smaller titles and that's sort of why we don't hear about because generally like those titles don't get a lot of e3 play yeah there will still be like the assassins creed of course a and the I am kind of curious to see if they can like save that franchise we're just like really like had a tough time I think we'll know before e3 yes I think you're probably right I the one game that I'm dying to see and I honestly have no idea because I've been expecting it for the last three years is fallout no idea if the new fall it's going to be shown at e3 but hopefully alright so I bring you three up for two reasons one because I think no game should ever have a release date ever like what does that mean I mean stop giving a game a release date like until when I'm just say it so so one day no nothing and the next day halo 5 news bear with me here okay I'm just it's so crazy sure all of these games yeah they get announced and they have these lofty ambitious release date some of them are like next year every single games that's been released so far this year yeah the big ones have all been delayed okay sure so when you have like one hundred percent cross the board okay do you want a snobby business reason for what they know why I know that's I hate that snobby business read I'd like to know this not be okay snobby business reason III is partially for the media and partially to get PR attention yes but the big real reason that it exists is for buyers for me to buy up for a store buyers so like gamestop sense the retail guy to see all these games and the retail guys like we need 5000 copies of Assassin's Creed but don't you think that model is like dying it is definitely I mean it's it's a little bit moot these days cuz like effectively you could sit at home and get most of the e3 experience right so right you do not only can you get the whole III experience let's not forget that you know those brick and mortar stores are quickly coming around well but still amazon I'm sure has a buyer and right amazon as a buyer but i mean i don't know who are you that I guess there's still a reason to own a physical copy to sell it back but here's what i will say in defense of e3 why I'm glad it still exists is because this one party get drunken that's a good reason games need a week it's the only wake of the year where from i from obviously this packs and obviously those games come but in terms of like broad media attention it is the only week of the year that broad media attention points its direction at games right put the spotlight puts a spotlight on so the in the years when they made like a small thing in santa monica or whatever it was like a much larger area it was a drag because it was like there was not that level of enthusiasm across the whole world about this cool new thing um so I like III for that purpose but I agree a lot of the reason that exists has gotten a little bit stodgy and may be unnecessary boom you know it's cooled at the spot all right well there were some news earlier in the week that the game silent Hills yes um was not going to be exact which is really weird because I don't think you had remember that I remember the whole PT that was that was that that was a meaty yeah and they took that trailer download and they took the game off the store wasn't a trailer it was a playable playable teaser piece of tedia teaser true but that's the game that it was teasing is not coming Jack cancel right this week so why not just keep the teaser around a great that's a good question so the backstory is essentially Konami which published the game had this deal with hideo kojima who was like they're they're all star boys metal gear metal gear he made all sorts of their biggest games basically had like a very unhappy split what happened I don't know I don't know intricacies of it but let's I mean this is not the first time that like a Japanese developer the guy who created Megaman had a big split with capcom barry recently essentially a lot of these Japanese developers that are known for these huge titles are sort of moving away from the traditional Japanese culture as you get into a company and you stay there for the rest of your life right and it's like your parent and is it right that's all that matters and these days like there's a level of globalization happening in Japan where a lot of these like Rockstar developers are like you know what I don't need to do this I have a lot of cachet I'm gonna leave and do my own thing and make whatever game I want right and and my guess is that's a lot of what's going on here um but yeah it you're right it's like it's like the band detaching themselves from the record label right essentially or a lead singer saying like screw you guys i'm i'm the star right the wedding Justin from NSYNC that's Justin Timberlake and sink I mean in sync and say I was thinking do you think about Zack attack which is a lot of thing when Zack got a big head and left it blows my mind though is I don't believe there was ever a more successful whether or not it was deliberate more successful viral sort of campaign for a game in recent memory I mean Petey knocked it out of the freak I love Holly's for that halo thing right like oh yeah i was amazed it knocked the game was amazing the whole experience was amazing the buzz that was organic design how did three game for me last year it was a demo for a game that doesn't exist it's crazy and it's really upsetting because like I'm sure there's a lot of people that in the next year will buy a ps4 and there's no way for them to download the game right interesting point though if you have already download the game and for whatever reason you want you need to delete it for space or something like that you can still redownload it if it's already in your library great news such I've done so there you got it you can still but there were people people on ebay there are people on ebay selling ps4s with PT install that crazy that's awesome funny because I don't know that you can play it unless you're signed to the account of the person that's all right you would have to have like a dummy account and just sort of rabbit for that ebay but it's a bizarre situation it's a shame because like I don't care about silent hill I've like honestly really I was never a fan of one man choice I mean come on I mean they're too scary for me is the real all the cracks about they are there to scare when you go back it's like Jesus Christ I'm sure but like when I played it Simon Hill too especially like I played it in college this guy had like giant stacked speakers in this tiny little dorm room and the room would shake whenever like triangle man whatever pyramid pyramid head exactly came through the door with a giant sword night frequent it Mia yeah it's your scary so it was too scary for me to play through amisha I spent ten minutes and I quit right and but PT was the same way but I totally appreciated how brilliantly designed it was the first person the like playing with your mind the like did I see that didn't I see that stuff it was just like really well done so good and and there was like a cool meta game with it with like people trying to figure out how to get to the end and so it is disappointing like we didn't know what Simon Hills was going to be we didn't even know if it was going to be first person like that but there was an indication they were trying something new right that wasn't about like oh I found the crosspiece that unlocks the random it wasn't like I like really obtuse puzzles um so it did feel like they're trying something new it's a drag that's not happening but that's what blows my mind so like here you have Konami who is clearly aware of the runaway success that this buzz yeah was responsible for and they had guillermo del toro catch they had Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead attack so where do they get off just dropping this I mean again it has to do we have no idea what happened in those boardrooms been who owns the rights to sound hell it's gonzo nom nommy owns the rights the franchise yes so why not just outsource it if you're upset with Kojima I just don't get starting from scratch you could be 23 years from releasing this what do you think that game is coming at any time soon I mean I don't know it I don't know how much work was done on it it's crazy just I I'm more personally just I think their concern would have been if they didn't say anything certainly he would have left and they would had to comment on it and it could have been like shadow what is it the dragons gone last guardian where it's like what the hell what is happening just tell us what's going on um and like whatever I'd rather know that it's cancelled and like have it just floating of course I want to know it's cancelled but I'm beyond upset yeah it's a drag it's it's a bunker and then real quick black ops 3 oh yeah so you're a big college udah guy you ever play the quality games and once or twice and then I got sucked and I'm like I have to stop playing oh because you're worried so you're the guy who tries out crack cocaine and never ever does anything okay that's why I was like okay this is awesome i have to stop right fair enough so black ops 3 is which is the treyarch side of a bone Treyarch side of the development of the duality that is called duty between well it's not a duality it's actually a triumvirate so it's a tribunal a tribunal so is that infinity water damage hammer and now Traore arc treyarch yeah let's call March as you do it everyone singh and they are now taking black ops 3 right and it seems like it's a future game it is why we don't need that so that was my reaction too is that I was a little bit bummed because black ops 1 was one of my favorite games of the franchise without a doubt and one of the reason was it did this really cool thing where it blended fiction with reality she's great where you like switching IFK and they were tying in historical Morse Gump version yeah and then black ops 2 although i love the multi-point in black ops 2 the campaign was kind of a disappointment because it's like future and like silly like drone magic stuff and like it just felt very removed from the core of the franchise and now we're getting and and then advanced warfare came out last year is actually a really good game to game you liked it a lot but it does feel like I mean we're titanfall destiny uh you know advanced warfare like every shooter these days has been near future or you know a hundred years the future it's just it feels a little bit um you know like I'm done with right I don't understand why every sits like every single game has this thematic sort right and I mean look I haven't even played at an event where people like check that out firsthand I was not the event so I don't necessarily want to judge and i will say that treyarch on the whole makes my favorite call of duty games of of the three companies that make them so I've a lot of faith I think it's going to be a good game my chief concern is like is this going to be able to separate itself from advanced warfare enough to be its own thing right and they are doing some some things that are a huge departure for call of duty in general specifically regarding this hero idea when the play is a specific character that has like super abilities that almost feels like destiny it inspired or whatever or even like a MOBA inspired with their these characters that have like unique abilities they clearly needed to breathe new life into the specific gameplay but I think keeping that futuristic thematic sort of thing in the background is really making it tough yeah I don't know I mean it just I just want a little more variety and I get them wanting to sort of wrap up their trilogy that they've been working on for the last seven years right um and they again look like they're doing some interesting things I just yeah kind of want more variety from my time periods like there's so much rich stuff they could have done in the 70s and 80s and they just kind of moved away from it yeah I want a Vietnam one or even like 90s like yeah like just whatever let's go retro a little bit there was a Vietnam one by the way is called world at war oh that's right it wasn't what you want a gulf storm one is anything I mean there's just a lot of cool stuff you'd like touch where there's like an assassination mission to take out Saddam in the middle there's cool stuff you can do there and they kind of scanned a while they just moved on and they they touch down a little bit black ops 2 but I don't know the other thing I would say is advanced warfare I played a ton of call of duty it kind of surpassed my ability as a multiplayer call ya yes the first game I was like I can hang it was just it was so fast and there's people zoom and everywhere and there was I just couldn't keep up with it and I think people miss that and it was nice to have that balance where you would have that with the cult with the advanced warfare / ghosts one and then things were may be grounded a little bit more in playable reality with writing sure you are yes so uh you know I don't know I I'll definitely play it and I definitely am looking forward to it it's just sort of hope they bring that variety right okay I as you can talk again thank you let's let's switch gears a little bit and we're gonna keep it at that email so i just wanted was everything ok well yeah it's just work stuff so I'm just talk about it now ok what he say sure I do this thing called net picks and we release information about what's coming out of amazon itunes us other stuff and i got an email from the guy guy at tribeca film festival because i had the wrong date for I am big bird no no it's terrible because I'm really psyched about seeing I'm big bird know both the trailers yeah big bird I am big bird in the metarie it's going to be released on the same day as theaters as it's released in theaters on itunes on May 5th not the 8th like I had in there no it's like I've corrected it right now like why you guys were talking everything to make sure that that information is accurate also I really want to see the movie so it's all documentary about the person inside big bird there's been the original Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch from the very beginning is 85 years old yes you and he's both of them yeah it's crazy like if you want to talk but don't they talk to each other yeah there's scenes with both of them right but he's the guy I know but yeah well I get it but is he talking to both he's tall I haven't seen the documentary and exactly I usually when they don't know that he'll write and they reveal Muppet stuff I usually look away I don't want to see it oh I like little when I saw I understand when I saw this guy talking as big bird with his hand moving in the air and you hear the voice and he's like 85 or it was just like oh no like he's really old yeah this is in apparently the story covers when Jim Henson dies and it's gonna be kind of sad I said he them wrong I don't think that he does day-to-day big bird I think he might come in for special events and do a dr Freddie's 85 is that no way he's got an understudy at that point is like he's watching his every move is like his uh but the voice is always in it's always him is when he must just do a dr if they don't i don't know who's in it day by day it's not like they're gonna do it like Yankee Stadium were they like keep recordings of the Nexus they might say every word ever times like sneakers and they just like versus lines but let's be honest how much shit as Big Bird said over the years always the same game for here's a like it's crazy there was it I read an interesting thing about the character were initially he was just like a hobo he was like a hick character that was his thing big bird yeah and what Crouch was the hobo know it that that was the original vision for big Berbers just like he was a country bumpkin and it sort of morphed into just him being like a very large child right also a bird right he does kind of walk around like he's got some little aimless injury the imaginary-friend snuffleupagus was an imaginary friend for a while wait is he not on the show anymore no he says he is but they eventually made him a real thing as only big bird could see stuff although he was a hallucination Richard it like there he is the ayahuasca thing right how do you not see a giant hairy elephant yeah but ya know snuffaluffagus I will say my enthusiasm for documentary even though I am interested is a tempered a little bit or tainted a little bit by the ELMO documentary right yeah what ended up happening there cuz i saw the oma documents goes good documentary was good the documentary was good but it it does but they so memory of it a little bit stop you contain if you I hate you but I think the problem with the ELMO documentary is that it was not a good documentary because they seem to not uncover a major section of it that's supposed to be like investigative journalism I like have a sit-down joke tell me elmo tell me about your horrible past oh god it's so it's upsetting it is and it looked like you can't watch The Cosby Show now can't watch anything anymore well that's another that's another ganteng issue yes I didn't want I wanted to watch that show my girlfriend I'd never seen the show had never seen Cosby yeah man still watch it it's not you can pretend that it's okay no you can't know everything is way way dirtier now when he's mean I still watch ghost dad okay yeah that's a messed up movie is that inspiring you as a diet dad you know that how you're racing the congos as it goes baby sector yeah for sure that's good that's the idea yeah I'm glad that you can you can figure that out and be a ghost dad was I saw in the theater you blew that I think I did too i think i went to stop or my mom will shoot instead oh nice who with the golden girl I stallone and the old girl I still get it get it yes and um all right so I'm glad you got that taken care of it's done uh I it's called what is it I am big bird I'm big bird all right sort of i am legend but with big bird right when I apocalypse only 18 foot bird survive okay what's this oh you threw in a few stories here that I want to get to what's this about the good food and needing better marketing yeah there's some kind of like research where you know you want your kids to eat healthy stuff and so this these guys actually put menus together and they kind of use the same marketing techniques that you would with you know junk foods so in the menu they expertly little happy emoticons next to healthy healthier items and turns out kids actually this kind of respond to that they constantly started ordering because it's somehow animated it's got a little happy face next to and something called a Power Plate if you order a Power Plate you get a little prize with that so if you incentivize a kid by simple things like that you can actually eat them to eat healthy like I don't have trouble in my kid to eat healthy is like french fries and he loves treasures in Treasure vegetables they're fine yeah they're perfectly fine there's a fry's never any they're dynamite this they are dynamite said unsurprising was also that you can incentivize a kid to do pretty much anything a lot of con they're all speaking of like the wrong thing to do with healthy food I feel like McDonald's is spiraling out of control well they're they're like the total opposite they realize that they're on the opposite end of like this big push to go healthy and go organic and so like all their commercials these days are just like here's this raw chicken right that we made in an artisanal raw chicken house then there's just lying i engineered whole wheat bread right and that's it that's the whole sandwich and so they're trying they're trying but you talk about a brand that is has such an identity crisis don't they own are they like part of the Chipotle thing I don't know if they're connected and he may say own Boston Market about enough they entrepot because that's the that's what the trick I mean coca-cola's certainly mastered that because they owned i believe vitamin water um air pep yeah i think it's down by the water and that's the trick right is you have this brand and who knows how long the brand the last so you have the low end whatever fast food brand and then you have like oh I want something quote I mean for a while like chipotle with considered like a little bit healthier it probably is more healthy than I mean if you get a burrito you get a deconstructed burrito probably they're healthier in what way I mean McDonald's and like I can be not as proximity unless process but you haven't like what 2,000 cash days we can wrap out you're not having only having 1800 sorry I don't know about that a lot of calories a lot like a deconstructed burrito bowl without sour cream and cheese like 800 is maybe not 1600 can get it does mike mcdonald is so made for kid like that's his vice create design friends be happy meal right because I sent your salt yeah sugar and like hot I always got honey with my nuggets you got Oh like honey mustard no just like honey honey you can get that in like a little cup and I was oh my god see I've a lot of that was finish on I think I have a lot of pent-up regret about my childhood and mcdonald oh just because you know I I definitely think my parents knew like okay this clearly isn't the best food should be giving our children but like I McDonald's once a week okay for a while as a kid as a kid okay and I'm not so what's your regret that I did that that you as a child chose the McDonald wasn't chosen your I was so chemically addicted to it the fact that I knew like wednesday night I was going to get McKnight was like too much for my little brain kids I mean they're driven by candy and sweets and stuff they like like in summer camp suites are like currency like candy is like her ya know for cigarettes of kids right totally I've been in prison these days they trade those honey buns there's articles about how they trade honey buns as currency it's like Oh a pack of cigarettes just three honey buns like this are yes something like that's insane but you have when you you like keep if you can just keep track mentally of like all the weird McDonalds commercials you see weird they are just completely off into petaluma california one no I don't think I like in this small town things are a little slower it seems like it looks already like a parody it's like an old man making an egg sandwich yeah and it's about this little town pedal down with California which I lived in for a couple of years now really people don't know this town it's 40 miles north of San Francisco why on earth are they talking about pedal than we California that got my attention I'm like where's that where is the McDonald's in petaluma california showing nice part of town and that towns got the schizophrenic thing going it's got like really nice parts and like sketchy parts yeah and they're like right next door to each other constantly so it's it's really odd and like oh it's in the little shopping center with that giant parking a lot by the luckys which is a grocery store out there so the part of town they show in the commercial has is nowhere near the mcdonalds at all because that's on the other side of town which is all new construction which there are 16 people nodding their heads right he's exactly yeah Calif Petaluma California does not look like that commercial at least not the mcdonalds party they they are due Eyres they doing these really weird like pop culture cartoon commercials too and you're just like man they're trying forget it guys we know you use you know you're just lean into being unhealthy and gross right as everyone else is doing something different because like oh you've been eating k all day great kick back and have a big mac like been burgers they know they need to just go back and be like mcdonough slogans you just be like mcdonalds fuck it right that's that's that's an idea made this stuff tastes they didn't say like just follow your taste buds kind of things I'm picturing like working for the weekend playing yeah and then it's like it's like a little motion death row and nuggets and fries in his face McDonald's fucking right I should make a million it's a mess right now it's true dude like just just you know embrace it embrace it that you're filth yeah because you got companies like sonic it clearly don't given oh yeah it's not like it's totally doing Sonic's just like hey we marry her one way and you know all these companies that are just like whatever embrace it and even Taco Bell like Taco Bell remarkably talk about remarkably is is winning the breakfast Wars yeah of breakfast sandwich man for that freakin crunchwrap yeah you know what this thing doesn't the other ones don't have they don't have a hash brown in it right and exactly I've had one of these yeah I'm gonna do you have I would try to watch what are they like they're horrible is a bad or grease and grease obviously super process I mean even an egg mcmuffin doesn't taste as bad as this like McDonald's burgers on I'm saying like actually like McDonald's tastes healthy compared to the taco bell crunchwrap thing well I like I just there's something that rubs me the wrong way about their whole breakfast defector campaign the pseudo Russian where I'm just like guys we're talking about a three dollar breakfast sandwich but that's a big part of their like if people aren't showing up before noon yeah a lot of audience true missing it's true make sense man all right the breakfast sandwich wars continue let's uh let's talk about the hololens real quick so there was a Microsoft build event earlier this week that I kind of got a little bit of I was still on paternity leave but what happened yes what happened we had two guys f from seeing that there and for the demos they actually had Nick statt and Nate Ralph build apps to see how easy it is to make apps for the hollow lens and then they actually got to try it out and have that go apparently it was super easy and Nick was saying like he wants one like his article of leads off I want one it's what I want one because the hardware is actually like the demos it kept showing like a little demo unit the first one they tried out when the original showed the hololens they compared to something that you'd see the optometrist office okay but this one's actually the slick version her manager it's ready to go it looks like and they said something like they got to try to feel like 90 minutes and then they start charging it because for me I've been thinking about the hololens yeah it's really cool looking but how long is it gonna survive if they're completely enclosed it's like it's not meant to leave the house though that that's right because they're claiming like it's it's the people move not devices that was the thing with bill but looking at this thing I mean I wanted to work I want to be able to put this stupid thing on my head and look at there's a TV over there wherever whatever apps are going on but then you turn your head away from it versus like a google glass which is always there yeah but it's still there yeah i mean you turn your head you're still wearing a hell no i'm not talking about I'm probably screen being a frog oh I olivet is it like pop on my head attached to a drone that the end but that's what I'm talking about with that yeah I just haven't good there's nothing that I could see in a hollow lens that would like give me a great reason like I don't know what the argument is the whole apartment I've a small apartment I if they had an interactive video game where I didn't have to get sure and I could like play a game on my lap if you did that make sense where I'm like looking down at my lap when I rather like augment like an oculus style like I mean that's effectively um it's a dif different you know that's it's different isn't much is different all this is augmented we're feeling really right it feels like augmented might be a little more limiting in that sense though if you have to deal with like physically what's in the space yeah the hololens is a deliberate hallucinogen you know sort of thing we're like you're seeing things in the world right where it seems cute vr is just you're entering another one holland seems like a cute thing it doesn't really feel like a product that people like i would buy whereas a tonight i wasn't i don't get not sold on it yet d you should read what these guys wrote it is convincing but again and where and how far out is this oh I don't know there's no release date for this thing every time they show it off the the the prototype changes like yeah severe when they've shown the same style the super slick version on stage and the thing that they actually get the guy's a demo was different yeah now it's actually the same okay it I mean if what i like about microsoft and this is the phrases that people don't say very often they got some really crazy crazy ideas i mean this this shouldn't work and then the connection of water didn't for a while connect us can you fit the idea of it they like to say like we're not gonna do motion control without a controller right look PS but Sony did what the move after the wii was already right failure let's put a little ball on top of a controller like total fail its idea of like don't use a controller I think it's gutsy I just I can't believe that they're the ones trying it yeah I mean yeah I think you know they did they were doing like surface stuff for a while metal surface not the tablet this sir the table yet attainable types though probably you know they don't get it you know twisted these guys have a crapload of money yeah that they probably just devote 2 r.d on a lot of weird still right the quite the question is once you the hardware gets out once it's released is it traditionally Microsoft products tend to be bogged down by bureaucracy and like a feature jam like every department needs a little feature in the pride right are we seeing a new Microsoft which is like more clean straightforward you know and obviously Windows 10 will be a big part of that but like traditional like they just in recent years have just gotten more and more bloated and like tied to well this is our overarching message from Microsoft and everything needs to fit inside this box and its really held them back people are annoyed by their branding like yeah they're a box ecosystem is annoying to people I don't know why they're still using the live tiles on Windows 10 I think people hate it yeah um I could be dead wrong but I don't know it just seems like a step like they're just leaning into something that everyone didn't like and just screams windows 8 to me no no no what to see yeah but yeah that's that jeronne graffiti it's a thing jeronne graffiti this is this very cool this is kind of awesome what's this guy's name his name is katsu right he's a guy that if a show oh he catches a big he's a big graffiti art back in April I'm familiar with it then you'll be familiar with what he does later so he actually tasked a spray paint can to a drone a while ago Naples showing that off he was doing demos on canvases like hey look what I can do so what he actually did fairly recently I was Wednesday night apparently he brought a drone with the spray paint can to houston and broadway and defaced a Calvin Klein's jeans add these spray painted red lines on the face of kendall jenner area she's the model just across the lines there and he says he's going to kind of release this information out to other people so if they want to do this they can have their own drones do graffiti so let me ask is it is he directly controlling it while he's doing the graffiti or is it like he runs a program and it like follows like a pattern yeah I would imagine I just judging from the end the end result of what it looked like yeah uh no I would say it's just him is dead he's a seventy percent of the cut of the concentration is in maintaining this equilibrium with the two-dimensional surface you're okay anything so he's doing a lot of the word to take this thing so like he's doing ms pit like your painting with like a mouse it looks like new employment yeah but both like a 3-axis sort of thing in one hand and then like sure it's crazy so the thing that's weird too is I'm and I'm sure he had a like the can a little bit too all right with your own i guess because you can't just spray probably wobble it right that's a saying you can't just sprawl though when you should spray picking you really got a mighty master did to spread like pre shaken and send it up because you can see the way his stream came out like it sort of fizzles out and then he he did something rich this is really cool and the thing that's cool but you know in the world of graffiti like you know all these guys care about is getting as high up as they possibly can it's sort of like breaks the it kind of breaks some of that enthusiasm right cuz right oh you go to top of our shooting it's a gating essentially but catches is pretty well respected graffiti artist um it's nate his stickers are all over Manhattan you'll see him you know you know this reminds me of is in demotion man when Edgar friendly has that yes same thing that comes out of the ground exactly right this may have like the anti thing that takes off the guy there to over there you go was it the wall tickets right back zapped it yeah this is really cool though youtube video out there too if you want to see it actually work I mean this is ballsy though it's ballsy and yeah I mean it's a well it's open it's pretty massive and think about it like you know it's real easy to get caught doing graffiti now I'm like you people know who it is like the his real name and like katsu ya know I believe he's anonymous okay cuz you could theoretically like if he makes a big deal i get arrested right of course man even after the fact of course you not to do this right what most graffiti is not sanctioned no i understand i'm just it's just interesting this is the videos crazy just to see this little flying near the base it's really awesome it this is my favorite thing the week um I wonder how it's like other people gonna be doing it right but like for me if I'm one of these guys I'm like man this is just the beginning this is gonna get really good and then I don't even need to like be the guy who's gonna get pulled down off the off the building it's just my drone right you know who have they gonna trace me right this is you could be on a building free block is quite amazing I'll be in an apartment across the street no one would ever know you have less credibility though you're like well you did one this drone graffiti guys don't do regular yeah I mean there was that drone the crash on the White House lawn like I don't right they find the guy who did that I don't know I don't even know I don't know but will this strip cred from graffiti artist you'll have to talk to the banks I have no idea yeah i'll be sure to call him I'm gonna tweet at him and see what he says yeah you know he's the he's the guy he is the guy he's their biggest guy it's great document it is okay that does it for stories we have a few minutes left for some stuff from the subreddit it's mostly you know trivial sort of stuff but nevertheless is a few tidbits I mean they don't knock this up amazing so people actually bothered right combo they're like oh thanks for writing so here's the thing so we're gonna talk briefly about Avengers 2 you saw right no I'm not we didn't I haven't seen oh you didn't see me okay so then we got out yet no but there's been screenings yeah this week some people are slobs I thought you were going that's a whole long story alright well first one comes from misfired neurons this is a very relevant question for any NHL playoffs yeah do they take you away from the baby or the other way around this is directed me to Paris Lee uh this no this has been the greatest thing ever had the Devils in the bio doesn't which is great because it doesn't I'd be a man by n right but now that i have no horse in this race i can watch it and just be enjoying it here and lets you note of it the sport of it and the first couple of nights he was born two days before they started right so as soon as they started on Wednesday the fifteenth and when they end he'll be 15 years old because I think so goddamn is a lot but like you know he'd be up all night and games go on to like 2am clear the west coast right so this was like our house dust a manner yeah yeah starting every night at seven there's seven hours of games right so it's great yeah so I'm not ignoring my baby he's in one arm I mean I'll tell you what he's already seen about 25 which is amazing i got the the record for that but yeah it's uh it's been good for Julie blue mine like yeah you really want icing is everything uh are you guys excited for Avengers 2 we didn't talk any anything about it this this uh this week I'm seeing it on saturday i think at 1030am because I'm an old man I have it all planned out yeah what's come out today hey come essentially today today um i'm not i don't know i'm torn cuz i like the first one I didn't love it um I just feel like as these movies go on and the stakes get higher and higher and we're dealing with like giant purple guys with super-powered rings and bah blah blah that's where it loosely miss Dennis Nelson I understand but that's where it loses me I'm more interested like I the the spirit of that last scene in the shwarma house Avengers one is what keeps me interested in those movies is like the very grounded human funny moments of those movies I enjoy and then once it gets into like the action stuff it's just like such cg insanity that I just I'm not as engaged with it and it feels like as these movies will progress they'll just get more and more and more cg insanity which is why the Bama news are so good yes because they're not heavily reliant on thur woman's poopy their long but who's still good it was good it wasn't was an amazing but like you know even the the batman vs trailer which looks like dog shit yeah like that movie is clearly gonna suck balls yeah and it's because it's not it I still think the reason all of those great Batman movies and I say Oh Batman because Batman's the only one were they like kind of grounded in reality and sunk about the characters the characters very much grounded so for me that's what it was that's why for me the first Ninja Turtles movie is so goddamn good because it's like it's still real yeah and I know people are gonna say like oh you're just an old man and cg turns you off full no and it's not only that like you're not the only one cuz obviously JJ Abrams feel the same way because they've been the new Star Wars it's like very traditional sure don't his Star Trek movies are great like that it's interesting that all the CG talk because Nolan hate cg anything you do practically he does and so I mean in session had a good amount of it oh yeah I'm it's Alvin to you it's happened a little bit whatever you do practice but he does it he tries to hide it though which is good in the sense where this is like images or Avengers is just like the Avengers movies are like the summer things that happen in Marvel Comics anyways if you want the grounded stories you watch the individual one so like Captain America the last one like it was a famous a political talk a few slices like an open grounded until a giant what is this guy ship came into the granite the last captain america on aim in the sky were shooting lasers I have to do that okay that despair those me I like the first and is also like that it just could sort of like this you guys the Fox universe and the Fox universe of it's like all ground with fantastic 4 and X I'm more interested in x-men to be on like the last name with a we accelerate look I didn't want to be Silver Surfer after log is like a flying dude with this yeah with a surfboard that's him but yeah I'm excited that's the thing Marvel's cosmic side is all over the Avengers because the only thing that could take on the Avengers it's got to be ridiculous that's why on earth would you need these five or six people you got the Hulk and you've got Catherine's you're saying a nemesis would have to be so oversensitive yeah why is it like it should be like why does it take all of you just want of you like you right one of you to take care of this just be like irony what could the Joker due to the Avengers that do like see I really matter they chopped his head off like instantly by Thor's there's like I'm a god so and that's the issue is like you just the scale gets so outlandish that's right and that's why Superman movies have a hard time succeed and that's why the only good time I don't worry whenever well there are a few consumer imitate the messenger but the best one was the one where he lost those powers and was a human being in like it was this pretty good so on the end of which one was that three it's too it's too okay it gives up his power what do you mean the whole movie is great with Zod sure sure sure you never saying what that end mr. work is they get shot into space as a crystal the super can the mirror he knocks out Lois's men i don't think that ruins the whole when it would be yes I'm about getting she was pretty good i will agree feelin yeah I just uh but that's the thing he needs to have a challenge right we've talked so much about how much Superman sucks but I think more with the Avengers is like I because of all that I am so disenchanted with anything Avengers like I would only see Avengers because every now and then I like Robert Downey jr. being a wasn't right and robert downey jr's a grounded character and if they did from what I understand about hawk i right that's a character hot guys in America his comic iteration is like a very grounded like schlubby character that would like be interesting as well so like that's what I want to see out of these movies and like I was hoping that ant-man would be a little more like that but a man trailer looked like crazy and watch it what is that is what's the take on that it looked I don't seen the trailer either goofy I it was originally going to be directed by what's-his-name from uh yes scott pilgrim met director that's good but he moved on it supposed to be like a true comedy with Paul Rudd and now it just feels like it's they're just bringing more into this like giant mammoth Avengers universe and I don't know just need bright bring the stakes back right that's something to like that I i think they constantly are just so over the top even with this crossover stuff it's just like you realize when you blow your load like that there's nothing you can do that being said each and every single one leapfrog's the last one in terms of money it's banging so like right and so it's why why stop right well I'm the snob that like wants a more grounded movie but good for you NASA's love what they're doing sure look gets me more ground like Daredevils really ground in that TV show sure like TV show that's the same way that the books are there more grounded books and then there's my Avengers right now yeah so yeah I think we're gonna the fact that Disney keeps making just money hand over fist they're gonna keep trying to expand that as much as they can they bought up has met many rights as possible I think they they're gonna do straight Doctor Strange and by Panthers about dr. shit smell but and it just said the same thing about guardians of galaxy now had any idea what is right but but but we are familiar with I mean did you knew garden that you knew guardians a guy didn't know I didn't know what that but that was but if I knew if I was behind the scenes and I mean that source material is great I mean they're great well that's a good angle like a strange stuff to was there could be really fun like it's like 40 50 years with the stuff combined it is like a weird guy that doesn't really fit into the baby I'm just truly Romero I'm not familiar enough with his defense work um all right what about that tomorrow land oh that looks good does right it doesn't look good completely blank a second it's the George Clooney directed by brad bird yeah oh yeah the most guy yeah the Sun good here is my concern about that movie George Clooney big star kind of like an older gray-haired gentleman in that sort of movie that's clearly gonna pre a franchise what do you thinks gonna happen to George Cody before the movie ends yeah I think there's a hundred percent like that he does not live through that movie but it's called tomorrow lady ages yeah maybe Benjamin but lately not they're gonna make sequels and he definitely won't be in the sequel so like that's wow so this is like a precision I've seen to Purdue Napoles thing they shot like five at one time George Clooney is not Johnny Depp he's not going to come back for four sequels he's gonna do one and be like I'm gonna go off and save Africa now right so honey but the movie looks terrific and brad bird on the whole I think makes very good movies so he does smart dude yeah all right well I think I think that's all we can handle for today that was far-ranging yeah we covered a little bit of every kamon nice little potpourri of discussion topics yeah mr. fresh dick always always a damn pleasure thank you where can everyone follow you outside of whatever it is you do for a living uh just a trust fresh take on Twitter and what's your mere can I don't know what's your periscope a trois rustic that's the problem ear cat like what am I gonna make a separate account I know Amir kara scope and meerkat just came to Android today and I'm like as poor meerkat I feel a little too late meerkat it's it's just a che I it's such a shame for them it's like they had this amazing one day in a solid we have is an amazing it was less than that it was like a day and then periscopes like hey I think they're all ridiculous the fact they don't let anyone stream horizontally the hell's right is that that is bizarre I never thought about that but i guess the benefit of that is that you can keep the aspect ratio but still it's like why snapchat or why instagram is the way it is is because it keeps the aspect ratio kills me yeah um alright so we'll do all that will follow you on all those things and I guess that's you know that's where it's gonna
