The 404 - Windows 10, Wet Hot American Summer, N++, vaporwave, Ep. 1624

2015-07-31
hello and welcome to a brand spanking fresh hot out the oven episode of the four for show I'm Jeff Bakalar joined by the one the only the very skinny the very lightweight very pale very pale and frail I'm joking you're not frail no I have a very strong immune system I'm sure you do mr. Russ fresh dick boy there a holy boy oh I didn't realize we're on the poop deck some we are I'm having a push oh so I didn't know that I didn't know having a push meant going number two it's because you're improper is that how they sit in in the Queensland the Queensland the queen says having a push I'm having a push oh my corgis they're running around my feet as I have a push oh darling put on my gloves so I might have a push Oh loves then you have to throw the gloves away which I guess wouldn't be a problem for the Queen oh man will you drink in there guy what does that got myself some seltzer the Jewish man's equivalent of what other people drink water okay I feel like Jews on the whole drink a lot of salt sir more so than most people okay once again you're just is that removing the fact that I am the least Jewish jus ever yeah I mean no jus on the planet plays hockey so that's pretty evident that you're not really doing that was number one I hate florida number two well i think young Jews hate Florida I think that's the universal grow into it you do is your second barmouth yeah give it a few decades you'll be on board with Florida it's not just the Jews what is it with you seltzer people who like that is the grossest what were you ever why with the button will do you like soda I did hook the bubbles that throw you off or so here's what I'm thinking right here you got a perfectly good drink you've got lemon water essentially love lemon water you're drinking lemon seltzer so I'm using sure I'll be carbon not sure and you like lemon order would sure but guess what i'm not i don't i don't drink a sip of lemon water and go to myself hmm be sure great if this would make me burp I mean that burping is just a side effect also burping feels great when you do it let me just say when you need it but the priority is not the burping it's the mouthfeel of bubbles on your everyone loves bubbles did you say the mouth feel ya look when you're yet the forest floor the okie rosiness the nose of it it's not a bloody fine wine dude it's a canister I don't know is how yeah I was raised with seltzer in the house I never really liked it and then I turned 30 and suddenly seltzer so I think it might be like Florida just kicks in all earlier it just seems like an unnecessary extravagance when you when you just when you when you bubble it I don't understand you so you're against carbonation it's just like in it's an unnecessary carbonation what is a necessary carbonation soda even though I don't drink soda and i don't i don't like soda anymore because the bottles well because of the sugar and the sugar the shot screw the bubbles that the sugars the culprit but you you've said unnecessary carbonation like there's an instance where carbonation is necessary right what in soda i think it is because if soda wasn't right it'd be even more distinct just be black syrup yeah sure sure sure I don't know I feel like so as Seltzer makes water more interesting it's like getting some water drunk that's great seltzer making water more interesting since 1798 or whatever the hell they even know when they invited do you think like what how do you even invent that when it's the 1700s like how do you get carbonation into water yeah that's a great i'm looking it up and what this should be our explain like i'm five yeah we don't have one this way so carbonated water what's the etymotic what is what's what where's it go back where does the boar was it born in 1872 it was introduced out into the public in in britain did they do to like heroin or something that they injected into it to make the bubbles i don't i feel like they used choline for everything back then there's a lot of cocaine yeah so 18 yeah 18 oh look here's what it says okay check this out these three okay yeah we're getting we're getting freakin deep today we're quite deep in the arts are nothing going on the tech world this week so just sucks screw windows in 1767 joseph priestley ok discovered a method of infusing water water with carbon dioxide when he suspended a bowl of water above a beer vet at a local brewery in Leeds England the air blanketed the fermenting beer called fixed air well you're with me a fixed air got it was known to kill mice suspended in it Priestley found water weight they had to suspend the mice in the air that's weird i'm putting them on little mouse broke little fishing line yeah this seems like the easiest way to kill these myself let's just sort of over carbonate them Priestley found water thus treated had a pleasant taste that's his shitty damn straight that's his shitty opinion and he offered it to friends as a cool refreshing drink then in 1772 priestly published a paper entitled listen to this impregnating water mixed air yes damn straight in which he describes dripping oil of vitriol okay which is so free eric acid great in to chalk to produce carbon dioxide gas seem safe seems real safe seems like the Seltzer should add a surgeon general's warning on it back then and encouraging the guests to dissolve into an agitated bowl of water he then referred to this invention of soda soda water odor solar water as being his quote happiest discovery damn straight screw you an actress of Bruce Lee that guy was probably super racist probably hated all types of people but I gotta say I forgive him because he gave a seltzer it's so and then JJ schweppe yeah I know that guy who's the shrimps personally I know he developed a way to mass produce it and make it like ah in 1783 here there you go it's old it's been around almost 300 years sure 250 to be a little more accurate and thank God it's still here today and today on national cell today we remember Joseph Priestley and his bubbly shitty water likely slave owner Joseph Priestley the death many nice met their early doom to ensure a truss fresh dick lemon filter in a cat it's a great way to go that's how I would die if I could man if I ever do a drunk history I wanted to be on their dance I Joseph Priestley and JJ schweppe that's a good story Derek waters if you're listening to this please make it happen hook a brother up all right Windows 10 yeah windows 10 hit hit the internets this week how carbonated would you say Windows 10 is on a scale of what allows kill you imagine flat cymatics killing man people are loving it I know well I don't know man stole it no okay no Anna we'll get to that a second I so I read a lot of reviews it sounds like people are like I wouldn't say loving it people sound like it's good i like it you know aight that's them saying it hangin broken it hasn't broken mike and i haven't heard complaints about it but i don't think anyone's like my life is changed because of this OS right i think i think people are more pleasantly surprised and it and a lot of that is just because it just reverted back to like XP essentially yeah it's definitely I think this is the most evident in terms of like software where you're seeing Microsoft kind of listening to feedback instead of imposing by our Metro tiled will people well I thought 8.1 was like a step in that direction where they're like this is the least we can do in the shortest amount of time uh-uh get rid of it but still have it I guess yeah it's it's definitely a step in the crowd-pleasing direct yeah now so but I haven't installed it as you know I have a gaming PC in my apartment um I literally only use it for gaming I have a work piece i use my macbook air for work right it's just exist for gaming and I for a second i was like maybe i want to install it my fiance installed it almost immediately on her time you're getting good at in fianc I'm getting on it yeah and I was like why for the three seconds and I'm not staring it like a game loading up in steam is it worth like going through the process and like I post on Twitter whether people like whether I would run into issues with graphics drivers people like maybe I was like well so what do I need it for I did so that's my big fear right like you don't want to go into it and just break everything you only have been reports that some games work better okay like apparently the witcher runs better your knives are sharper and Geralt has like better flowing listening head like a pink streak in it yeah and you can see the definition okay it's probably because of the his codpiece yeah it's really because of the conditioner he uses of course nevertheless yeah really good wait it's you know it seems like they did their homework they I know they reached out and kind of I don't know how closely they did work but Microsoft did get in touch with NVIDIA sure which is important and was like hey hey let's not eff this up let's not you know we're gonna make this as easy as possible is if windows screws up an nvidia feels yep to be clear people get bummed out with graphics drivers updates and whatnot so let me boil it down though because obviously I'm the windows moron and I'm sure there's a lot of Windows morons listening as well you're an official Seltzer drinking windows moron as I understand it the big change that everyone's badly going about is their turn of the start bar right and the excisemen of the full page horror show right which which was so jarring and are comfortable the worst but I did notice as I was peering over my fiance shoulder that the squares are still there it was a menu like it was what yeah why did it was like someone on their last day of retirement was like one more thing Bill Gates or whoever was purchased on them you don't know make sure they stick around those squares that's my life's work swisha keep the judges they know everyone literally hates them so why put them in just because of a connection to Windows Phone like what is the rationale the tiles have been such a punchline yeah to the windows experience over the last five years you would you would you would hope you would think that hey maybe the most ill-received notion move as far away from that as possible but it's there it's there so I think it is a form of them sort of sort of bowing out with it but saying hey it's like they're winding down yeah there's sunset let's let's use that I don't get the logic behind that at all I don't either it's really bizarre I do like the fact that like they launched this brand new browser and most people won't know cuz it's still an e logo bright eyes so that's crazy so Microsoft edge was the new browser and supposedly if they're a mess yeah people say knowing it uh still resembles internet explorer and and as I was thinking about it I think the most logical scenario is that like Grandma boots up her new computer and she's like I want to look at pictures of Jimmy can I I gotta click on the e for that yeah she cooks on the e she has no idea it's called edge now it's just a knee there are my mother-in-law she came in this morning to help watch dylan yeah and as I'm leaving she's like I need to talk to you about Windows 10 I was just like oh oh wow how savvy is she um I don't I feel like she might be listening to this so and so if you are Barbara you're very savvy okay your muscle close your ears she's awful oh no I'm kidding but she's off yeah no it's not she not know she's very good better than a lot of my relatives she knows what's up and you know what it is she doesn't here's why she's great she doesn't fear windows okay like a lot of people who suck and they're not savvy yeah ethnically savvy they they they're scared of computers yeah so she's not she takes it on right she got okay let's let's see what this button does okay uh so yeah apparently a lot of the start menu stuff confuses her right news as well right place ok I do understand it's quite a leap if you are used to one way of functioning anyway that's the quickie sort of stylistic uh take on Windows 10 yeah there's some other stuff we need to get into before we move on I honestly have no idea so do you don't you know nothing about the privacy stuff no you don't know anything about that no you didn't put a link in the rundown so I let's put the nail records I wanted to drive this up there's a massive privacy freak out okay for this I heard there was something with Wi-Fi sharing is that we're talking about that there's there's a little bit of weirdness there maybe that's too into the weeds okay this is a more general and and concerning issue for for most people are not unlike the UH laundry list of settings that are available for you to tick and untick in terms of like your Google Experience yeah location history or Facebook yours privacy privacy stuff a lot of that's baked into Windows 10 okay to the point where they're gonna sell your information they're gonna share your step on by default and it's on by default window which when you really think about it is like why it's free right right so yeah they just want you in on that they want you feeding they want you sucking on that T down so that you can then pass along your valuable data yep arm in this age where nobody really wants to pay for anything and you have to like dig in the settings to get to that stuff apparently it's not that much of an excavation bar the you would need to know to look yeah and and you can do it on the install you just have to do like a custom customized information you can do it after the fact as well and there's plenty of guides and I'm pretty sure we're putting up something unseen it about that as well yeah but you gotta be aware of that because there's a lot of that baked into the to the mentality of Windows 10 now let me ask you something do you actually get pet when you see that like we're gonna take your usage data or we're gonna like use your testing data right that's the freak you out personally uh it I like uh I'll you know you gotta read you gotta read that quick little thing I'm not saying you gotta read the 49 pages service but you gotta read that that quick blurb and and really digest in and and unpack what it's saying sure arm I'll be honest most of my life is on Google yep and there's not a whole lot I there's some stuff that I opted out of sure but but most of it I I'm okay with ya and you to see what you will I got a buddy who freaks out over that yeah just like okay I'm I i know i only turn on gps dude you're walking around a gps transponder in your freaking pocket or what is gonna have like there's gonna be a CIA dude with a sniper rifle on the roof now look dragging his GPS people who make fun of that side way of thinking me like oh that's how it begins you know and it's a slippery slope and soon you just yeah right sure it probably would begin there I live in the real world were like hey this super useful right and also the government is not nearly that coordinated with anything yeah I think people give the government too much credit anyway uh that they so that's where the privacy stuff is is sort of orbiting right now yeah that's ex potentially a key especially if they're doing stuff like taking your email address and then giving it to people to like sell stuff it's a big deal they they'll associate your email address with your windows login and there's a lot of icky stuff yeah there's a fantastic could do yourself a favor if you really want to settle this now and I'm sure someone from scene it's gonna be upset for me sending you here yeah but uh go to search for the website Rock Paper Shotgun oh yeah and they did a real great breakdown / how-to on why this is the case in Windows 10 and the steps you can take to opt out of all this sort of privacy stuff so yeah go do that okay all right uh other than that you know windows you've come a long way yeah come a long way from it was your first windows uh you want I guess 31 because I remember using das on my grandparents computer so I must have whatever the like yeah I probably was 31 right I mean so apparently there was a Windows one that yeah for our I definitely have never I was watching a video that was like going through the history and I had never seen one right so that was 1985 and then there was a version were like they allowed for overlapping windows which I didn't even realize that wasn't a feature in Windows one it was like a huge huge deal windows 2 point 0 which was two years after one point okay December of 87 yeah uh it was basically this at the time from what I've gathered again I was 50 as came in yet what else was happening in your there was your pant I was not five now five years old probably once a while I guess maybe like a realtor Sean toys r us or something like that uh yeah that was introduced the overlapping windows and then windows 3.0 was nineteen ninety okay that was probably my first and then offered better multitasking of older ms-dos based apps there was also a lot of color introduced in three point o fair and then 3.1 was like the one you probably had for a while because that lasted until you guessed it windows 95 windows 595 windows move I remember I this is crazy I got windows 95 as like a gift ya like my it was like boy a box and like happy birthday windows 95 bizarre install it but before we move on to windows 95 I do want to say one windows 3.1 story which was I was playing a game called Wolfenstein 3d oh that little game which is one of the first first-person shooters ever made where you shoot Nazis I was playing it because every time I would visit my grandparents in California they let while I was there for the week they'd like let me buy a computer game that would keep me occupied me and my brother and so we got wolf 3d which is really appropriate for a seven-year-old sharing really bloody Hitler and um they were very clear with me though they said when our cleaning lady comes in you have to lower the volume because she's German and the game is filled with like German cars for his job shiza and things like that so that was really memorable they all screamed the same thing and that was also the first time I ever used a cheat code goobers was the cheat code what did that give you god mode all sorts of it was a delight god mode turned on infinite ammo I just I can't wait to tell my kid like an when I was your age there was only one code you needed for doom it was God just typed in God right is that your God do anything my favorite thing in Doom was the no clipping oh yeah you just fly through walls yeah amazing it's pretty great windows 95 I had a very sincere memory that sticks with me to this day because it perpetrates a fear that I have a one of these weird fears that people have mine is moldy bread I'm like a little bit terrified of moldy bread how does that tie into windows 95 and windows 95 launched it launched alongside encarta and that encarta included like 12 videos you can watch in windows and watching a video on your computer was a big deal back then and there were numerous videos it was like moon landing remember the one video that was in there I mean there was like a view there's one that I remember through it that's moldy bread moldy bread was in there's a video of moldy bread was speeding up it was a process a time lapse of showing bread growing mold and it freaked me out and still freaks me out to this day that is kind of fun yeah I want to find that on YouTube I'm sure it's on you do okay but there's also another video a music video okay I renault right on Windows 95 one of the best music videos of all time right I don't remember what it was now I don't know if this was like a special thing that I got through the computer like they were something that was bundled yeah with it now I know so I know it jazzy without it but i kinda you want to try to get me i don't know if i want to get you there because i want you to like remember it because it was truly included with Windows 98 wasn't like REM no but it was a band from 1994 pearl jam nope for peace ah the video was a throwback of an old TV show Oh Weezer yes yeah yeah it was Buddy Holly buddy holly right was emma is now do you recall the lord of rings a bell but I was not a big research it back then so so I someone write in and tell me if I'm wrong but I really vividly remember buddy holly being sort of baked into windows 95 that video from harry odds the Happy Days video very odd great video great video alright then windows T was introduced which became the first-ever 32 bit version of Windows yeah by the way I still have no idea what 16 verses 32 bit OS makes just like an art processor architecture sort of thing and faster I guess the more the better okay you will 64-bit is that exist yet it does okay and I that I but I'm pretty sure that's what they all are now sure yeah don't work you don't have to work my face with that worry about that in a more uh geekier danske granular show windows 98 was released in june of 1998 and they're like that favorite time for windows yeah starts now when you had windows 2000 thousand which is basically windows NT but sort of consumer eyes if we wait did we miss Emmy in this process no because that came after windows millennium edition also enjoy a cluster f permission was probably the first awful version of win two thousand and Emmy isn't that really complicated I I just don't know what to tell you and it was it like just a boil down version 2 2000 I feel like 2000 came after now it was a stopgap okay between 98 and XP so it just sort of like my eyes like an increment by yeah like hey this is the bridge that's going to get you to XP here and then of course windows XP my favorite her terrific Oh what it be is perfect people stayed on XP like a lot of them through at for as long as you possibly could I am willing to bet there is a significant yeah amount of corporations out there still running XP is it still supported I believe they recently said they're stopping it yeah they're stopped they're gonna stop support crazy then comes along windows vista and the plane crashes into that yeah now is a disaster oh my god I don't even know any feature of Windows Vista apart from it sucked like serious hardcore sucking I think it was there was nothing redeeming up there was something about see through windows their error he threw window people that really hated yeah it was bad I think my parents laptop still running that so we're gonna have to fix that yeah I believe anyone with vista or above can upgrade for free I then yet windows 7 which is definitely an improvement yet when 07 was fine oh and I kind of do like Windows 8 1 yeah it was like everybody one but even a one had the like hot corner crap yet you can turn off or as like oh I'm on the right side of the screen I better take over the entire computer that makes great sense yeah it's it's a weird you know little upgrade and now uh we're at Windows 10 which is really just like overturn to Windows 2000 pretty much pretty like they essentially just dialed it back to Windows 2000 and there you go 30 years of windows them and all I want to do is run wasteland 2 that's all I want so so you're saying that's the game I've been playing that for the last month or so I'm gonna check that out yeah it's rugged game speaking of things to check out oh my god do you know what today is uh Friday yes by Friday July thirty-first its mother effing wet hot American summer ah big day huge big day you know how I feel I know you've been obsessed with this movie I feel like since it came out uh or maybe in DVD for like since 03 03 came no.1 sure we're talking about over a decade definitely this this movies 14 years old and now this series comes out which is literally like a prequel series to the movie with the same actors obviously made ten years in the future but they're pretending to be a month younger in the movie right which is hilarious elf um and I feel like in terms of like buildup of like classic comedies this is on par with like the arrested development like fervor I think so at least for fans that are fans of right ought american summer it's definitely not on the radar as prominently sure not as broadly known but I think it's more of a cult classic yeah then arrested development where rest of element like had this amazing mainstream success and still got cancelled it didn't really have a mainstream success until Africa yeah I guess but it but for whatever reason I don't classify arrested as a cult classic because it crossed over eventual yeah where's wet hot still sort yes i agree has never really been like a blockbuster massive success but in our generational circles has just become very impactful without a doubt that the sort of like comedy of our generation in in many ways which is ironic because it's not really I guess it is I guess that's sort of I what is it said it's it's a 8181 so it's before I was born raised before I was born here before I was born uh I think my generations comedy is probably said to say uh are we not hardly way are we not part of that seem to know what the hell you're 84 i was born in 83 are generate a t2 that do not like that generally our generation is the like early nineties generation totally uh but what i'm seeing but but fact is that prevent movie came out yes i understand at the perfect on and you know it's crazy can hardly wait when is that come at 96 I think was 95 four or five I want to say 96 or 97 why what is your point my point is that so it was 98 wow it's only three years between that and went hot no I understand it's just set in our time p.s exactly nevertheless any which way you slice it uh the fondness we have for this movie cannot be excited an excellent it is so funny and at the time got destroyed by the critics yeah and now when you compare the rotten tomatoes score of wet hot the movie and wet hot the show yeah I think the show has like 97 billion and the movie had 20s I haven't looked at the the reviews of it at all I've been kind of a little bit dreading it me too after the disaster that was they read the arrested development season they're doing more of those probably god I know someone something very odd about that well and and this is why I was so worried about wet hot is because the all big reason why that season fails is a scheduling reason right that they couldn't have all these stars who really became stars after the show together at once so they needed to shoot it in such a way that like each person has their own little story line when in truth a rest of Elmet succeeded when they're Amish all together yeah like and how is it family interpipe with one another so and this sort of the same situation like Paul Rudd is one of the biggest stars in the planet right now because I ant-man but even before that even before that but still a man definitely pushed him into another level and a lot of these people are you know granted a lot of them are not like rocket huge stars but still like reasonably well known people sure um so getting like how much of this show is like individual scenes although the original movie was individual scenes with like payers for the most part two they did pair off a bunch but what you're getting at is totally right they got everyone yeah everyone to be there from what I understand yeah at relatively the same time they didn't did they film it the same location probably not I don't know that's a good question i would guess not because i think it was filmed in like Pennsylvania or something they probably found somewhere I mean you build that anyway yeah arm but they they seem to be able to pull it off I remember saying to myself I'm not gonna read any reviews because you want to go and fret I want to go and fresh and then they were unavoidable I mean I have a voice oh god all right well I'm about to say something you might not I don't want to know all right well no I just already said it with Ron tomatoes oh that it's been supported good get my people don't really love it okay great so yeah I'm really looking forward to it it's amazing uh you really only need netflix yeah I mean it's go and I don't know that I'm so you know contrived but you only need it there have been times when I've hit the bottom of the barrel with netflix i feel like there are at least one dozen series that i could watch but I've why watched all of them like have you had f of X Files I've watched West Wing talk about Neil original stuff are you a Gilmore girl I love Gilmore girl alright that's that's a story for another time there are you talking about original series yes so in terms of original series I actually still watch um let's see um so let's list them off okay you got orange is the new black I still watch that and enjoy it so you wouldn't you still like you just watch like I haven't stopped what like there are shows like for example the Kevin Spacey has a cross you stop that now after watching house cards why because after season two is awful and I one episode of season three I guess and I was like I have no interest in this one people oh that's weird cuz people seem to still I really enjoy got so hammy and outlandish like season two I didn't like at all okay there's literally hamster house of cards ours is the new black black mirror yes I'm sorry can include that's not yeah that's not an original i watch one episode of that the pig effing episodes in like I thought it was amazing I just like couldn't emotionally go out another episode know they're they're all unrelated I know I know I just do it's been tough to motivate that's the that's the most traumatic one okay for sure it was tough how insane insanely insane you you keep watching that pilot you're like oh this is gonna keep going it was crazy yeah um I feel like what else is there that Oh daredevil daredevil I love all of the first season although I'm a little worried that the second season might not be able to match that right I've heard some stuff about that as well but I I don't think you really need to worry too much about that sure arm you got wet hot yeah I've got uh apparently everyone is super in love with unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt oh I like that show you're right right you got that yeah you've got bloodline I haven't watched that everyone loves blood lead a yeah do you arm there's a lot of original comedy ya rijal comedy stand-up things you've got your so support it's like you're doing its head talk on how amazing netflix i'm just saying like theirs theirs i know i watch it to the problem with all this since a Tiva not really a problem yeah is that I end a bit you know finishing an entire series over a weekend or whatever a week and then it's another year before oranges new black comes out so it's like whereas something would be drawn out and I'd be like digesting it my game of thrones over those a series of months you know you go through these so quickly that if it was a normal network and this is the number of shows they had it be fine but because you go through it so quickly it's sort and it's weird that I'm complaining about it because it's not a bad thing right but it's just the nature of it like I've we've watched everything that's on original programming we've reached the end of the internet so I watched a documentary about Antarctica instead she's pretty good is it shrinking no it's okay it's okay it's fine Bojack horseman yeah so I watched I haven't watched the new season which has been out for a couple weeks now but i did watch the first season and it's too weird trip I don't know how you how much you've watched I've seen like three okay I liked it yeah I was watching it I'm like I like all the actors that are in it I love a missionary Amy Sedaris is fantastic but the jokes were not landing for me like it's just like it just felt like kind of and like it was okay like clearly they were trying to make jokes and they were like sorta kind of funny but like in a network TV kind of funny and then slowly as the season progressed it just got darker and more effed up in terms of like his life and how he wants to kill himself and like his relationship with this girl that he loves and she loves the Southard got it just got like super dark and I got more interested as it went on because of that because it felt so discordant with like the rest of the show yeah but sort of similar to black mirror because of that it's been hard to like moat it's like watching schindler's list again I've been hard like I motivate no one's ever done that but that's what I'm saying it's hard to motivate after you've watched something that's like emotionally intense were like be like oh I'm gonna watch more of that's his car it's a cartoon I know but it's varied all right uh I guess I'll just have to take your word for it everyone I've talked to just it doesn't doesn't go through that emotional true Atta it's I don't know it feels so light because the sense of humor is like very light and kind of a little bit dumb yeah but then it just gets so depressing huh all right I'm gonna give it another gay give another go let us know what Netflix series you're obsessed with because I feel like think renamed them I know right feels like it but even though you you feel like you hear about every single one yeah you turn around and then someone goes oh dude you watch the fall on netflix I'm like know what the Julian it is Gillian Anderson awesome I'm like what didn't even hear about that yeah is that even a thing that's what's weird that I feel like netflix has a problem with that discovery problem yes yes they have a definite discovery problem and if I'm Netflix I'm sorry this is gonna sound may be crazy your ternet he I'm I'm the regionals netflix i am the service personified sure call me Bartholomew netflix okay sure if i am that service I put myself constantly streaming on like the netflix channel ok this is gonna sound weird science to you so within the netflix service yeah you just have this channel that's always running you don't ok I like this idea so you're saying you turn on netflix you're like I don't know what I want to watch I guess I'll just put on the channel and it's just like a programming that we made but you don't have to think about because that's the biggest problem is like I'm sitting there I'm psychology of choice so like I can't decide what I'm gonna watch just and a lot of people just want something I'll in the background I've been preaching this for as long as I can remember and I know it goes against the the evolution of consuming media but I still think there's something like everyone mostly in the world yeah has not yet cut the cord has had some experience with watching standard TV where is just on yeah and there's something kind of nice about that here's my guess why it hasn't happened yet because its seemingly easy well it's probably because it's I think it's a licensing problem because you're essentially pay they pay I think purview essentially do they I think they do I think that's how the pace can you do work out a deal well then you just give everyone a fair amount of exposure okay and you you do an apple does words like if you get of surfaced on the app store they take a little bit of a percentage and that acts as exposure for people to watch I'm sure there's a diplomatic way to figure it out yeah and you would have channels for like comedy and drama i I don't I don't say you get to you know granular but I think you can really do it uh in a generalized way where maybe you have like even if there's one channel no you can't do that what is then you can't have like it's just the discord enough I go someone just after pig followed by Bojack horseman 5i kimmy schmitt yeah I guess you'd have to break them up until yes three yeah and and one jobs could just be like weed documentaries cuz is about 30,000 wait there's a few of them we get it we know what it does you know what is it on the couch and

so I'm very excited that has a long list tell us about this uh drone traffic control story okay so I I think a lot of people are aware that amazon has this grand plan they released about a year ago this video of a drone flying off picking up your package at their warehouse flying into the sky landing at your door dropping the package and leaving seems like the most impractical thing ever that it did seem outrageous but if you think about it if you know there's like a house that's like 300 miles from anywhere and you had a drone that can make it isn't that a lot cheaper and money-saving compared to you know driving someone out there I guess that was Russell like man that drone is kind of vulnerable on its way in and out okay so a good shot think of the amount of money that potentially they would lose on drones getting shot down by crazy people versus the amount money they're spending on gas and and employing people I'm not saying it's good because it will cut down a like job I'm sure the lost their losses are less where the with the drone here's what I'm saying when I go into CVS and it doesn't have the audio check out I'd leave immediately do you really almost always what's this what I cannot deal with it anymore I'm done dealing with people they are much slower than robots so what let's solve the problem in that application yes yes and I think for drones as well that's the future okay so Amazon in order to make this actually a reality sort of needs a lot of legislation passed to make it work and one of the big parts is how we're going to have all these drones flying in the sky and not crashing into one another or in planes or what have you and then crashing into each other then plummeted and plummeting to earth hurting you you just put pillows on the bottom it's easy so Amazon is coming ahead and saying we need a new air traffic control system for drones exclusively that sits below yeah well below the air travel plane a layer that's just for drums so you have now I know there's like a helicopter height sure which is its and that in that helicopter airspace is probably shared by like commuter planes but no I have the little propeller planes like not not a mere oh you mean like a sess like a single engine like 23 passenger like the red baron Frank plane ray ray bradbury so yes is they want in on that they wanted on that um the problem is there's like a lot of walls to prevent that from happening not the least of which is uh it's the sky there are no walls there are no roads either uh so the issue is obviously they need to get this passed and you're right the second that one of these things crashes and lands on someone or even lands like close to someone that's deep trouble uh-huh for drones yeah and I don't like could you make them out I feel like you could probably make them out of something that like could like float safe way to ground oh my god no what are you talking about cuz right now drones have this mode where like if the battery is getting low it they automatically just like slowly lowered to the earth oh that's smart so that is a good start I don't know feels like there's some options so here's the thing you could prop you could maybe do something where when it's like crashing it makes a noise so people can learn if it's legit crashing no one's getting out of the way they're gonna be like what that noise up there in face yeah this is not I mean there you're telling me there's gonna be an entire network of drones yes flying a thousand feet above everyone's head yeah and who is owning this network like Amazon can't own it because that's like it's just can't deeply concerning and like one more step closer to Cyberdyne right now I don't I just don't understand a world where this works I'm not saying you can't yeah right now it seems like it's more likely that we'll just have self-driving cars that do this and they just like launch packages at doors like paper boy yeah I think that's more likely cuz that I don't know you're right like that's just had to I flying cars never happened right well fly Carlos never because you woulda great you would lot of logistic you would have to basically rewrite the entire you're yeah our transportation infrastructure sure I don't know drugs are pretty smart they could probably not crash into things yeah I mean this guy's pretty big yeah who knows but this is an interesting story thank you a lot of a lot of roadblocks yeah Airbus Kaiba skybox the call Skyblock uh we talked briefly about Apple TV before the break what's going on with Apple TV so apple TV is rumored to come out uh this September's new version Apple TV which a lot of people like who cares a box not the bumpy yeah not an actual TV but that's apparently never good but even then people are like who cares there's been a bunch of these boxes they're just like I said top Roku equivalent exactly kind of nothing special anymore sure but what people are saying is that the new apple TV is actually much more involved than that and effectively it's more like an iPhone 6 in a box that you plug into your TV and which is way more powerful than an apple TV I mean there's essentially no processor in a current Apple I mean there is one but it's like it could run eight runs Netflix like it's that involved it's this really nothing going on in the current Apple TV if you throw an iphone 6 and plug it into your TV what essentially what that is is Apple launching a gaming console effectively like well so here's this all the apps with theoretically support it right but in what a bit but how are you controlling it with so I thought a good question we've done our iPhone yeah so I don't potentially with your iPhone although I do you think that's clunky and most people just use their iphone I think what you would see if that actually happens is a bunch of new games that are released specifically for use with the controller and a bunch of old games that are redone to work with a controller and now you're asking are people going to bother buying a controller probably not unless Apple as the remote for this Apple TV it doubles as a game controller and suddenly you have a game console where you know I buy a game for 60 bucks your Apple is selling a new game for a dollar or free and yeah and then you have like what ooh you wanted to be right but it's Apple so they have apples like work and like full development support it's pretty interesting uh I think it's gonna be me we've speculated about this before yeah I I mean just Apple really like going whole hog into the idea of like doing this I would buy one I honestly pretty quickly if that's what it is and I think given that it's effectively an apple on iphone 6 with no screen and no touch controls the deep you can get that like 150 no 200 no more it's gonna be old hardware by then the iphone 6s will be out so it's gonna be alright like still that's that's gotta be at least 200 okay maybe one night I think well if I'm paying 199 then you can get the step-down one that's just a roku box for a 100 right but if i'm paying 199 yeah I'm like and I'm playing the M playing these uh these cheap games that aren't giving me I'm book i get i get what you're saying you are trying to play a little bit of a v-neck shirt because i think these two game trajectories are operating on different octaves you know what I mean like I think you have console stuff sure that now with that you think that would be like a legitimate competition to this or do you think like this is only in its own arena I think it's legitimate competition if only because I think there are kids growing up now that all day every day they play on their iPhone and if they were given a choice like hey do you want to buy an xbox one do you want to buy an iPhone or an iPhone for your TV it might buy an iphone they might i don't know i don't know because i always would think like uh you know an eight-year-old just wants to do minecraft on their phone yeah but maybe they want to do it on the TV too but yeah and they are and they don't have to rebuy the game right right and i just got it just transfers because the same plan I mean this is all speculation we don't know for sure this is where they're going but I would be shocked if they didn't it's surprising that Apple really hasn't done this yet am i yeah yeah well they've been focused on like watch stuff and it's I don't know it is surprising though it seems weird that the apps haven't they every time a new pie forum comes out it's just weird that the apps are so split it's like oh now there's Apple watch app so now there's ipad apps and app store apps that are like just for desktop seems weird that they're not more unified right and this might be their solution for doing that I don't know I don't know how it's all gonna shake out yeah but I would definitely be interested to see uh how Apple uses their unique philosophy with all this I just want to see an apple controller like I'd be really interested see what Apple we do with a game controller definitely even though that's like such an antiquated idea for them because there's no touch it's all you want your mind to control speaking speaking of games that probably can run on your iPhone 6 Shores about n plus plus I remember n plus yeah so n plus plus uh it was featured on product hunt which is where I work visit product hunt calm for all your I don't know various cool things check it out sure that I can tag line of the site is it not I it is and we actually had the developers at product on games the makers of n plus plus a team called medinet which is really just two people in Toronto right we had them on to do an ama this week and the game is essentially a platformer it's a 2d platformer where you play as a ninja and you have one and a half minutes of life and the only way to extend that life is by collecting gold but it's really just like a super super hard platformer kind of like a super meat boy if you play that or I very hard very hard I feel like we're not even explaining well enough how impossibly hard this game I mean it's it's not impossibly hard but it's difficult it's certainly up there uh and i love these games these are like totally my kind of jean yeah because i love just like beating my head against the wall and then finally getting it because that's what you're gonna do with this game you're gonna smash your head and tool yeah probably you will die many many times but i feel like there are people that like like that sadomasochism kind of thing they're just they're just total you know say it is it's also really good for same system co-op which i think a lot of people are desperate for okay couch couch cone you can do couch co-op with four players and there's like race modes and stuff like that I love this game it's funny that you say that it can run on an iphone it's actually surprisingly um intensive graphically like you couldn't run it on a Vita really because they're running it at like 16 times oh wait like any LS saying all sorts of stuff like that okay so there's a lot of like graphic yeah Faxon and it's tough yeah and it runs at 60 frames really smooth and like it's deceptively heavy but it's a very cool game if you dig platformers you can check it the AMA out on product hunt or just download it's on a Playstation 4 right now yeah it came out this week I've i played i want to see maybe 10 levels and yes like all right I like it I I prefer to page one baby Jeff I plead n plus on the 3d ass or the two dias off terrible on the d/s it the S yeah not a good version yeah but it's it's definitely it's it's cool because it's you're gonna look at any more like what the houses yeah thank you little game but then you really like oh man it's hard and yeah really you know cleverly and if you're looking for a good party game it's actually pretty good for that alright check it out and plus plus you can check out the house cuz he fretted the AMA over at a product hunt arm so I got I kind of gotten into this new it's not a new type of music it's been around for a while okay and I only recently kind of found the right maybe genre the right label okay um the label that the i guess the catch-all label they're using for it is called vaporwave now care for that you're not a fan of that lately it seems a little marketing douche yeah it's definitely a douchey label I don't go around telling people I listened to vapor we've while you're doing that right now to me except right now uh I got into this guy called com trues okay cute yeah who does this like the first time I heard this music I was like oh man so he's taking like the music from Beverly Hills Cop sure and he's tweaking it and he's and he's like honoring that that tracking issue sort of like a fast slow cassette running out of batteries weirdness all while creating new beats with that arsenal of like phonic range you have it so is the actually sampling or is he making so he's not a sample of doing stuff so I've been listening to calm throughs for a while okay I'll if you've watched the movie arrived a lot of that soundtrack is like that ed synth inspired sort of stuff human be exactly like it's all like it's all basically likewise this new music cut out of a nineteen eighty four cheesy movie only and now there's a real new wave of these artists coming up with this 80's influence style of music and I came across one that I really like and I just want to play it for a little bit because we can probably only get away with like we're gonna talk about it editorially so it's fine right we're and because we do that editorially we do have this freedom to do that to play music that maybe we don't have the rights to but I'm sure this guy would love us to play this and then tell you where you can go buy this so the artist I just want a sample for every one night right now it's called street cleaner okay and the song is called nightlife okay and it just gives me this like vice sort of almost like vice city okay I kind of vibe I'll I Miami hotline Miami that kind of thing you can go to street cleaner bandcamp com okay in traditional spelling right pay for this guy's a record it's really good it came out late last year but I just want to play a little sing got a lead into it like you're a disc jockey all right new one from street cleaner this one's called night Oh welcome Mercedes to the stage Mercedes see like only that like a lot of those sound yeah are basically Axel Foley stuff yeah that's synth drum yeah yeah yeah am I crazy or I just love no it's all right it's great i didn't feel like i need a pastel suit and to be doing rails right off the table it doesn't make me wanna do okay but that's the image yes like it is it's Miami Vice like culture like I feel like but this is new like you can hear the like yeah like more moderate it's a little more complex yeah yeah anyway now I get it's very good I really enjoy yeah there's a there's a lot of these guys now but the street cleaner guys the the one dude that I think is doing it in a way that um I haven't really heard that much more it's it's it's pretty damn it cue that up on Spotify i'm sure i don't know if it's on a lot of fights to New ratified I just I don't know if it's I think mr. free cleaner maybe thought it was like not worth it real oh yeah cuz the returns are not good but mr. street cleaner doesn't really have a career does he I don't know he bite you he's from San Diego and I don't even know if it's a he or she but you know a street cleaner oh yeah you fell about a fight one word free Claire Oh God flesh nope no no if that's the same though here's a band that came out this fan came out in nineteen ninety eighty nine that is an album called street cleaner by God flesh huh I wonder if it sounds like that maybe that's the inspiration for the new street cleaner so what's really cool is like a lot of these uh I'm not gonna say vaporwave anywhere i'm gonna say these retro synth 80s inspired musicians yeah they're they're obviously inspired by those movies in the culture of the insurance so this guy street cleaner tries to tell like a story you know like there's a motorcycle chase and then there's like a shootout wait when did it doesn't go through the music tell like tells that story what when did it do that not maybe I think this was like driving like this was like the driving okay you know what I mean word or like could you come to the same story like if two people listen to the same song would they know the same story I for is it just like intuition I really believe you can tell the story just with sound I think you can too and I think like that time when he went down to georgia and he had enough violence and fat no one georgia uh no no I know you mean you know what I mean like any and and with stuff like this especially with scores like you can easily tell heightened scenes of action yeah uh but yeah it's I really love the stuff and I wanted to give some love that's good street cleaners way I for a second I thought you were gonna rickroll me but it really does actually turn into a song oh no it's a real song but that intro is your extended Jack June do I like it I do actually like it unfortunately I had to search vaporwave to find more of this stuff yeah I don't know if you need to do that there's a lot of ones on Spotify uh Kavinsky it has that famous one from drive okay um and come true said calm throughs is really good he's all over spot Ok Go which we and even like the 404 opening theme song yeah is is cut from that cloth a little bit uh little bit of an Inside Story here we were in touch with come true Oh to get him to do our new theme song and I just think they did wanted so much money our day was like oh my god I think we're gonna quote him I'm not gonna say how much but like we we had a number yeah he wanted ten times wall so he like did he have a career when you know he's big time okay he's big time and he's great noisy does he play like raves orda like I don't suppose the vague like this is where I don't what I don't get and it got a generational thing because there are people who go out and like watch a DJ perform yes like if you have done Skrillex yeah I what just got the hell are you doing I've got once it was as a press event and I was in uh Ibiza and they got us to it a tiesto yeah and I had never in my life heard or seen anything like a DJ right only college a concert yeah and in all honesty I just got really effed up and had a great time right but I think that's the only way you can't just like ghosts and they're sober and stare at the stage and have a good time so that's my thing like maybe you can you're like dancing and stuff i don't know those concepts from those shows are parties were like you go with my chrome shoot natick has lasers and bones and if I'm and I get it in and I'm not taking anything away from any of these people share talented like I kinda really like girl talk to ya never ship DJ a different situation there's more to look at I feel like girl talk maybe I don't know if he does that stuff live if he does I think he does that's pretty impressed I remember years ago I saw him but like a guy who just sort of Gaia girls just sort of doing one thing I don't know any I'm not taking anything away Lenny when I hate mail me but like if I'm going to see a concert with a band yeah I'm like what I wanna watch that drummer sure do that song alive because I don't believe he can do yeah is it so awesome you know II stuff like that yeah I got weird like just seeing someone like using a touch pad I mean a guy holding up a headphones with his shorter like I get it I get it I know you're getting late later yeah your macbook's awesome okay you put a book put a really dope-ass decal on your on your macbook dude i have a kitty yeah are we gonna finish things off with the weirdest thing I've heard of all week just what the hell is the story Russ you creep real animal stories it's a real animal story maybe that's a new segment we can do on the show I was looking around and I saw this story popped up from my newsfeed and the story actually the headline is just spectacular it's on LiveScience calm and the headline is python eats porcupine or get regrets it later and in parentheses here's why I think I need to like read this I think I know wow I thought I just thought the same thing um if you click through the link you can see there's this Python here and he has eaten a porcupine and it looks like the body of a teenage boy yeah it's the city nests its massive it's like and not like a spell teenage boy like he you know has husky he's been teased a little he's a husky boy husky boy so apparently this this Python when I had eight a porcupine ill-advised it would via and a cyclist actually spotted this after he ate the porcupine so he just saw this like car that wound up being a snake and porcupines are large as you work like they're not hedgehog sighs they're like they're the size of like like choose two cats stuck together and they've been eating a lot that's how you don't know with your other an anteater I don't know what the armadillo the comment maybe like an armadillo no no much bigger than Armand a porcupines bigger than armadillos like the size of like a hedgehog well maybe like two hedgehogs I'm not sure we know how large a hedgehog is a hedgehog is like it's a size 0 like a king swirl no Baker a hedgehog's not bigger than us it's bigger than a squirrel no it's not I had a hedgehog growing up I had as a pet oh it's terrible terrible pet it sounds like it would recommend it anyway so the snake eats this porcupine a cyclist spots it it's like oh that's weird ya later on the a park rangers find the part of the Python dead Oh No but they can't figure out whether you'll to know whether the whether the Python died from eating the porcupine which seems likely or falling off a ledge apparently they found it at the bottom of light like right next to a cliff oh that's so and they think it might have fallen and when it fell the spines in the Python body like poked out and like pierced it that's because really they eat porcupines on the reg but it's not an issue or just like the spines likes it in their body I don't know it put them out yr pythons eating porcupines that's what they do that if you could eat a porcupine when you eat it no it's like oh can I eat a pinecone I wouldn't get be discouraging I would also say if it was me I would probably eat it like a taco and leave the taco shell and just eat the inside I would define it yeah but important but he doesn't have hands it's just like oh what's that your cactus with feet let me eat that well the inside and you just flip it around that's what I we do is just flip it around and just you know seems like a soft it just seems like a porcupine should not be the natural prey for an atom I don't know the default for a but if you're a hungry Python you see this thing that's like walking around it's like I could probably eat that maybe was a dare a Python dare and he's just like he lost he paid the ultimate price well you know he had to go through with it it was either that or like french kiss his like brother for Python Henry the Python paid the ultimate price um so yeah I was surprised it's cool to see that pythons can do that and it's unfortunate to see that they really can in hindsight it's so it's the white snakes eat stuff is pretty stupid uh yeah it does not it's it's mostly because it's like oh you're gonna eat something that like severely limits your ability to move afterwards yeah but I guess we do too no way if you thanksgiving dinner yet you're not going for a run after guess but it's not like i don't become noticeably larger yeah but they don't really like there's nothing preventing it it's funny that they like I am thinking I just have to eat everything hall and what I just at the one but every but then they could like take a week off from eating like if you'd be sated by eating once a week when you do that totally it's just so gross because you're it's just got to sit there and decompose in your snake body yeah that actually reminds me of further have you seen the movie anaconda yeah okay so I decide with ice cube ice cube is in it and um Jon Voight in his greatest role and Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez so Jon Voight spoiler alert gets eaten by the Anaconda at one point later on in the movie jennifer lopez is getting attacked by the same anaconda and it vomits out Jon Voight fine partially digested partially digested covered in like digestive juice so fine weird unexpected even weirder he falls Alina jolie comes up behind him he falls to his knees looks at Jennifer Lopez and winks at her Oh what is that I can't it's never again addressed in the movie like what that he whether his her is he alive is why did he wink what happened it's never again addressed and it's so vexing to me would is he dead if he wasn't dead well wouldn't you reference it with like a scene of him in the hospital at the end being like man that was a close call with that snake when I got eaten oh god it's so confusing if anyone knows the truth behind that scene please fill fill us in Oh on the subreddit cuz I'm really desperate well I'm hungry yeah I don't know about you in time for a meal good time for a meal and I guess a good time to end the show good time to die it's a good time to get partially digested by a gigantic Python you know what you know what Jeff is also a good time for what's that the good times and review the 404 podcast which you can do on iTunes you can just give us five stars you don't have to write anything if you
