well Luke's not here again and if everything goes according to plan he may never be back yeah he um he went awall sort of in Los Angeles uh changed his flight refused to go home yeah and and this is a wall even for him right and I wonder if it was his plan all along I did ask if he intended to do this from the beginning and he said it's a good plan so who knows welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All Things nerdy but uh what we do know uh we don't know where he is where he's been we know he's spoken to Kevin Smith yes and we know that that he's uh taken the the
orientation session at the Los Angeles Church of Scientology this is not a joke he yeah yeah if you think we're doing a bit we're not doing a bit he messaged and said I got nothing to do today I'm going to go to the Church of Scientology and we I said the last we heard from you encouraged him I said please don't and his wife said [Laughter] no and then there was a little more banter and then there was just another no yeah well I did get a phone call from him saying uh sorry I'm not allowed to talk to you anymore uh I'm busy lowering my levels and I was like I don't know what that's about yeah and I'm like l i can't hear what you're saying can you can you uh worship Zeno a little quieter and uh yeah do they worship him or are they
afraid of him it wasn't he like they're scared of him yeah he's the evil Overlord of the Galaxy or whatever yeah that's oh not just the Galaxy man the Multiverse no he's not he's not in our Dimension he's sitting right by Earth but in another dimension asleep and if he wakes up we're [ __ ] but the scientologists are hoping well you like Lovecraft it's basically it's basically cthulu okay I I I do like Lovecraft a lot but I don't believe it and it just baffles me how seemingly otherwise intelligent people but then I guess they brainwash you from what I understand and maybe we should be talking about this I don't want the [ __ ] lawyers from the Church of Scientology coming after us cuz they
will [ __ ] destroyers that's the cuz that's what they do yeah yeah it's true it's like a a a machine designed just to [ __ ] people over yeah crazy to me but hey you know what believe what you want to believe I guess World till Zeno comes back yeah I mean I don't know what he's going to do but uh we don't want to be here when it happens but I don't know why the scientologists think that maybe he'll spare them unless they just plan to be out sailing on sea org look up sea org sea org yeah yeah strange world's a strange place people can tell us all about it mhm see I think that Luke is too much of an individualist for them to think that they've got a chance of putting their
claws into him you know I mean he's got a wearing a suit trying to convert purple hair and a yeah I you know like but you know maybe they got a plan for that too not Paul haggus Paul haggus the screenwriter uh is a former Scientologist right and he he said that he got into it cuz basically he moved to New York City to do the film school thing and he met somebody who just said hey did you know that there's a building down town and if you go there and talk to them and give them all your money they'll make all your dreams come true and he said [ __ ] take me there now what CU When you put it like that you know yeah okay cuz here's the thing right and everyone always uses Tom Cruz
in his example because he's the most visible member yeah yeah but like he seems I mean he seems on a different planet in terms of [ __ ] how much money he's got and [ __ ] but yeah I mean he he she surely knows the difference between like what's real and what's a fictitious Lobster God in another dimension well that's the problem I'm not sure he does because of of what I've Been Told about scientology you know sure he does he got he we got ha says Will Smith yeah [ __ ] Beck the musician Beck Beck yeah our old friend Beck yep um I just I don't yeah I don't understand Paul haggus said he left when they started talking about zenu because apparently they don't talk about that
[ __ ] for for a while well obviously [ __ ] stupid well he said it was all just about self-realization and just you know like getting the best out of yourself and they were opening doors for him and and then one day they called him in they said you've been upgraded you're now level 10 and he's like [ __ ] yeah what does that mean they're like it means we can tell you the truth he's like [ __ ] all right what's the truth and they're like there's a giant Lobster in another dimension and he is going to [ __ ] eat us and he was like sorry what oh man do you know that you've heard the story assume about elron Hub and Har Ellison oh I love this but tell it the listeners might not know he Haren Ellison claims that uh he and elron
hubard had a bet that they could start a religion uh which which one of them could start a more successful religion and elron hubard came up with Scientology and Har nellson came up with some some other thing and yeah uh at at a certain point when they both started to take off har and Ellison pulled the plug on here is cuz he he felt bad and Elon hubard did not and uh cuz he was fun of seaorg yeah now bear in mind Harland Ellison is [ __ ] crazy madman and yeah I I've never known Harland Ellison to be the guy to take the moral High Ground no he he's a [ __ ] weirdo and so he he could just be making the [ __ ] up [ __ ] he's a good Rider though so either way Yes sounds like H Nelson yeah but yeah he just he's a [ __ ] baffling human Al Nelson yeah
yeah if you listeners if you wrote a story if you wrote anything ever you probably stole it off him and he will sue you if he finds out yeah that's right I mean if you come up with a story said in the future where a man communicates telepathically with his dog um and the dog finds him women to rape sorry that's already a book by har Ellison yeah but if you if you come up with a story that has any element from that synopsis in it he's going to claim you st he's got a dog in it he's [ __ ] I came up with dogs yeah dogs weren't real until I put them in a book that's right I until I summoned them into existence like the great lord zenu well JM Barry invented the name Wendy for Peter Pan's
girlfriend huh is that true yeah that was not a name he just made it up put in book now it's a burger joint yeah I've never had a burger from Wendy's cuz in Australia we have Wendy's but it's just an ice cream store right different Wendy's burgers actually I mean it's it's fast food and it's trashy but they're but they're pretty good in my opinion but they are I'm I'm almost certain going to you'll die if you eat several of them so you know what I miss about America is Arby Arby is so good do you have Arby where you're from you're into sandwiches it's pretty good yeah I am into sandwiches man where I'm from um I don't think we have I don't think we have Arby in in Rhode Island I
had Arby there's definitely an Arby's in New York city so if you want to drive down there one of everything in New York City they've got like Bubba Gump Shrimp in Manhattan that's nowhere else up here either you know there's a bubblegum shrimp here oh is there no not here it's actually no [ __ ] it it's not in Singapore it was in uh Hong Kong right which is where Luke and I were a couple of months ago and then uh we dragged the girls along uh because we needed the shrimp yeah of course yeah yeah no I had Arby's in um I think in Montana when when Jenner and I were traveling I think it's a West Coast thing oh actually you know what that can't be true because I think it exists in the midwest which is actually on the Eastern side of the US confusing the US
used to be a lot smaller before the Louisiana Purchase I uh I first had Arby's in Utah in Salt Lake City oh yeah uh I couldn't remember the name of it but I desperately wanted to find it again so the next time I went to America I got on Google Maps yes I got on Google Maps and like retraced my steps to try to find like [ __ ] Arby that's it Aries yeah but you know what we do have here in Singapore that I really like uh I mean I I don't need a little lot of junk food admittedly but when I do um is popey's chicken oh God yeah which for me is like the like the Upper Crust KFC really cuz I maybe you don't remember this that you had Popeye's Chicken once before yes when we accidentally drove to
Arizona when yeah and and Paul made us stop at popey's Chicken in the middle of the [ __ ] desert yeah cuz I remember I went in and I I said oh what's good here and she said chicken and biscuits I said okay no I don't remember enjoying it at all but here in Singapore it is the best of the fast foods they probably have stricter food restrictions in laws they got laws in Singapore ocean that kind of place oh they got laws here mate they've got laws yeah yeah yeah we got uh no we got some some good stuff up up here in New England um we got I I usually eat at like local type places cuz I'm uh you know I'm support the local economy we got Tommy's Clam Shack uh which is a cool seafood place oh and Iggy is a seafood place here you guys have to come over in uh
summer at some point and we'll go to sure all these places if you like sea CU I remember I was I was there in the dead of winter and you told me that uh it wasn't that cold so I kind of just packed for summer gear uh but it was [ __ ] freezing but have seafood and I'd love to come back in summer I've ACC climatized somewhat well it's summer now and it's still cold so well I've ACC climatized to the tropics so this will be interesting you had some uh some visitors in Singapore not you personally but Singapore had some visitors recently and I was just wondering did mat did that have any effect on your life I was just curious about that far less than I would have thought actually okay I mean Uber didn't even surge pricing on that day you know but
um when they usually do it yeah that's yeah that's right you know there's there's posters there's never been a terrorist attack on Singapore soil but Singapore have conscription right so huh they have mandatory uh military service and conscription so right basically their whole Army the subtitle is let's not let the Japanese come back here again cuzz they had such a terrible time of it in World War II right so you can understand but um they they've got these posters everywhere for terrorism that just say it's not a matter of if but when and it's really alarmist for a country that's never ever had a terrorist attack you know yeah yeah uh there um yeah oh you just reminded me there's one thing that Rhode Island has
that I think and nowhere else has in the US potentially except a few places like in Connecticut still do it and that is I discussed this before it's called VJ Day and it's victory of Jaan day yeah which is like VJ Day still exists but most people call it VP day victory in the Pacific day because they don't single out yeah that's right it's like victory in the Pacific because the Japanese had pretty much conquered all the islands in the Pacific yeah yeah but they have uh some places still have little parades and stuff too and that's just like oh wow interesting interesting but yes that you reminded me of that do you know that during World War II there was there was a town in Upstate New York and I forget the name of it that was uh
like an official Nazi supporting town this is before America joined the war right when they were but um they actually they actually had like Hedges uh clipped into schwas and stuff like that and and this town that was an it was American who like had German backgrounds not German immigrants but just just people who you know related to that just a super into into it like yeah yeah yeah yeah and and apparently it was um the one of The Inspirations for Philip K dick when he wrote uh the man in the High Castle because there was like an American town with American Nazism right weird but uh not that any of these two guys are Nazis uh but Kim and uh Donald Trump were here uh and
also Dennis Rodman if if you care he also came saw that do you know he he and Kim Jong are good friends yeah and you know I learned that from Paulie Shaw on Joe Rogan's podcast oh really which is actually we talk about that that's you should listen to Paulie Shaw if you w to okay if you want to if you want to hear a man talk about how his career went in the toilet and just feels sad you should listen to that yeah man for sure um no I did know about Des rman he uh apparently has been flown over to North Korea several times uh because um the Kims are just fans of him um and apparently I mean I don't know how much truth is in this but I did hear that the American government like tried to get
him to spy and we like just while you're over there just like do this do this do this and he's like no man I'm just there cuz I'm friends with the Kim family you know all casual like yeah but do you happen to see the the short film that Donald Trump made for Kim dun no what okay so uh yeah so there's a lot to unpack here the Kim Yun and and Donald Trump stayed on a on a little island um that's just to the south of here uh called Sentosa right which is the island where all the big hotels are so if you come to Singapore to stay you're a tourist chances are you'll stay on This Island Singapore is a it's one main island and several little islands around it right um but I did notice that
Fox News had uh had said uh Trump meets Kim on remote island it's it's not remote okay it's a resort I can drive I can drive to it from here um but uh when they all came in and sat down the lights dimmed and uh and a film started was a fake movie trailer that Donald Trump had made that showed him and Kim as the heroes of the world joining forces at last oh God and uh I'll find it there somebody did leak um footage of it out and I will put it this sounds like I'm like setting up a bit I'm not okay this has really happened that's weird this really
happened I I'll try to I'll find it and we'll post it on our Facebook um listeners check it out because uh it is it is amazing in all sorts of ways right and wrong have you seen that little clip it was spread around of uh of it it looks like it's like a a episode of The Office where it's it's they in the room and Trump's talking about oh yeah take lots of photos and make us look really Slim and then like the camera like whip whips over to to Kim and he's just like giving him a filthy like you having a jab at me it's just it just looks it looks like it it's from the office and I can't help laughing whenever I see it like it looks fake but it's not fake it's a real thing that happened in the world it's very serious thing that's happening in the world but here's the thing man like
Trump like he's arguably the worst president you guys have ever had right and you've had presidents that have gotten [ __ ] from their interns in the Oval Office right didn't that didn't affect the world as at least there have been at least three presidents that have been shot that the people have got n we can't stand for this and he's worse than all of them sure he's worse than them and yet he is going to go down in history as the man who ended the Korean war is he like yes [ __ ] they're not going to remember all this other [ __ ] man that's I if it really happens Abraham Lincoln do the day before the Civil War you don't know he freed probably went out and fed his slaves you know for the last [Laughter]
time you're free now go things are going to change tomorrow guys been fun it's hardly even worth whipping you today four score and 20 years ago I bought you um the well is he really is it really over is he really going to disarm and all that [ __ ] because people saying oh he just just he's just buying time because they they we don't know what they said no no no I mean like whether he said it or not what they're actually going to do North Korea cuz the thing too is it's not like they can just open the [ __ ] borders and say anyone who wants to leave leave because everyone's going to leave if that happens like yeah look who knows who
knows but uh look if this is the start of of something peaceful in a region that hasn't had peace for uh you know half a century then [ __ ] Kudos but uh I'm still not sure Trump can can claim any uh real involvement in it other than coming and shaking the guy's hand oh I know he will he will he already has you should you should watch this video Matt it doesn't mention America but it does mention Trump doesn't surprise me and and it it contains the phrase will he shake the hand of Peace as Trump's hand comes out Trump's literally referred to himself as the hand of Peace the Giant Orange hand of Peace yeah this is the guy who wants to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out of America have you have you watched the latest season of arrest of development
yet oh no I haven't into the wall again well you know how that was the whole plot of season 4 yes yes just this clip where uh what's her name um what's the M's name Lucille Lucille is just watching TV and and Trump comes on and he's like we're going to build a wall and she's like he stole our [Laughter] idea that's amazing so there's been e3's been on and uh we're we're supposed to have somebody who is sort of there on correspondent yeah but he's he's [ __ ] disappeared uh but there is some stuff I would like to touch on briefly we don't have to talk about it a whole lot we don't actually know a whole lot about a lot of the stuff that I'm very interested in a lot of teasers really yeah yeah like the new Elder Scrolls like everyone lost their [ __ ] over it's
just you know I mean I'm excited I'm I was very excited but then they didn't show anything just a yeah no that's right just a clip of some Countryside like okay good I guess I'm going to wander through that and uh hit things yeah with a sword yeah I mean I'll through any Countryside that they present me right exactly and then uh fallout 76 um we haven't seen any gameplay we saw some trailers and uh and it's set in West Virginia uh it's going to feature this excited me it's going to feature The Moth Man and the Flatwoods Monster that's cool okay so I haven't heard of the Flatwoods Monster but I am I'm aware of the Moth Man uh Flatwoods Monster I assume is just another folklore from that area yeah yeah something else scary in the woods exactly like you know like
the uh uh what do you call it the the Jersey Devil and sasat the Sasquatch yeah they got a lot of those creatures over here they tell you got a lot of those we got a lot of creatures over here sorry in in in Rhode Island you mean yeah you got a lot of Sasquatch in Rhode Island we do no California California is a Sasquatch country apparently oh yeah yeah well that's that's where uh that's where Lucy was found right did I tell you in in uh New Hampshire when we went up there I don't know we I'm sure we brought this up on the podcast we went to the spot the site of the first reported UFO Abduction in the United States oh yeah there a gas station up there in uh in Lincoln New Hampshire and uh they got and uh a bunch of newspaper clippings on the wall and
it's very of course they do it's not very impressive but it's it was pretty cool pretty cool so it wasn't like the little a in that we went to in Rachel Nevada no that was cooler in a in a way yeah right don't eat the pie right no don't eat the pie don't eat desert pie that's the don't eat desert pie basically if you haven't seen a fruit tree during the hours that it takes to drive somewhere don't order the apple pie Fu mate when you get here we're going to go we're going to go to right's dairy farm and I'm we're going to get I'm going to we're going to get some cheesecake and some pie and and [ __ ] man no America is gonna is gonna destroy me like yeah let's just [ __ ]
eat pie until we explode they make some [ __ ] good food here you know I've been uh I've been grilling a lot cuz I got to grill now yeah and we had like we don't normally cook any meat at home cuz um because Jenna's a vegetarian and I just don't give a [ __ ] so I just generally don't and yeah yeah yeah but we had people around the other week so we bought some just you know just burger patties and stuff and we have a bunch of it left so I've been grilling grilling burgers and just something about [ __ ] Burgers here like now and now I have a way to produce them at my house I I feel like I'm I think I might be done for I'm going to have a heart attack you're going to be one of those guys you're going to get the old American belly that's right cuz I could I could just
produce Burgers all I want now and and that America the American cheese which is mostly just hormones of some sort yeah it's just so good I think the meat over there is good because the animals know that you as an American have the right to kill it that's right yeah yeah cuz they can't put up a fight cuz we've all got guns except me but all of us that's right even the cows have guns cows with guns that's Dennis ly right the stakes were high bow cow puns it was a Dennis ly but I can't remember who it was oh sorry Fallout 76 uh is what we talking about and it's online of course it is so I guess it's like Conan Exiles but yeah maybe but Fallout I mean that sounds like something we'd like but yeah I mean sure I don't
know I don't know online comes with costs that I don't know that I want eating into my Fallout game because the the whole thing with Fallout actually I played a bit of Fallout 4 the other day because I got the got the bug from watching all this other yeah and the whole point is that I can do whatever I want because I'm it's I'm living in the world and you know it itn't Fallout lets you just go [ __ ] nuts right you know like if I decide to wipe out all the filthy filthy uh what do you call them green skins yeah a good neighbor right if I decide to wipe them all out the uh right what are they called feral ghouls if I decid to wipe out all the ghouls in Good Neighbor right and you don't that's
fine cuz we have completely separate lives that's right and our game is are going to be profoundly different because of that right but uh but we're both going to [ __ ] be able to do it I don't know how that's going to work in an online game generally they kind of strip that kind of stuff out which is why I don't like them as much yes exactly right well we'll see I mean I'm not going to not play this obviously it's like the difference between Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls Online The Elder Scrolls Online is is it's it's cool but it's not Skyrim you know yeah like it like if these were drugs um Elder Scrolls Online is like a joint you know sure and and um and uh and Skyrim is crack yeah it is crack cocaine yeah yeah with slightly even slightly
more addictive than crack what whatever that is with some sugar in it yeah and and and Dragons yeah [ __ ] me who R did you ever did you ever watch that um oh no it wasn't Skyrim it was uh Mass Effect 2 did you ever see that sketch that uh I think it was uh Steen ropas and it might have been Carlo Richie you know those guys and one of them was uh working in the in the game store and the other guy came to return his copy of uh I thought it was sky but now that I'm thinking of it it was a mass effect effect have you seen that sketch I don't think I have and he's like he's like I just want to return this he's like oh finished already he he's like no I just
don't really like it he's like what so yeah I played a bit but I just didn't really just didn't really just didn't really get it so just like to swap it he's like what have I told you the story of when we told Carlo that uh that uh [ __ ] Jennifer hail was at uh Beer Club told you the he was at the Video Game Awards in uh in Sydney kind of the big Video Game Awards and we were at Beer Club cuz you know priorities and um yeah and and so a bunch of a bunch of you know game celebrities were in town and so we as a joke texted him and just said [ __ ] mate Jennifer hail's here like she's really into craft beer who knew and he was like what and then and then our friend Simon
sent him the old photo of me with Jennifer hail from from Supernova yeah and said no look check it out and he Carlo left rode his bike in the rain like like [ __ ] slipped his chain he had like [ __ ] oil and grease and [ __ ] all over him and then like turned up at at V Club and and then like soaking wet and was like she still here or dides she leave already and we were like oh [ __ ] she she left she left sorry she she just just just missed her you just just missed her yeah but surely the picture of you and Jennifer hail at Supernova has like that Supernova background it was well it's in front of like a a kind of generic background and and I think he been drinking and then he did say later on he goes you know I did think wow Matt got to meet Jennifer hail
again big and Skyrim I mark this as Complete because we mentioned it but it's not complete did you see Skyrim very special edition no I didn't see this it's real you can play Skyrim on your Alexa and I have an Alexa in the kitchen I could play Skyrim on how how does that work you say I'm going to be quiet because if I say it too late [ __ ] she can hear things through walls I swear to God though I got to be careful speak quietly you say Alexa play Skyrim and she goes you are standing in a field uh there's like a giant to the East and and a village to the north uh what do you do and then you just you just play you wander around and you can tell it to attack you can do a shout and she goes for your shout Echoes to Soden guard it's uh and there's a video uh a
little little trailer with um with Kei from Key and Peele in it um doing that it's uh yeah so they embrace the joke of Skyrim is on everything that's great that's amazing it's very cool you should to watch the video at least I [ __ ] will mate maybe we can even put that up on our Facebook yes I I've been sharing a lot of stuff from E3 I know man I love it it's great good all right I'll keep doing it one thing I've been sharing a lot of specifically because it's going to be the best [ __ ] game ever made [ __ ] can I just stop you before you go into that can I just say that right now your wife and your cat are up a ladder okay oh she's painting is she I I have no idea what either of them are doing up a ladder okay oh I see yeah I've got a snap which I will I'll look
at that later it's your wife and your cat on a ladder we've been painting the house nice ium that's what she's doing purple uh actually the the the bedroom will be a little bit purple but uh nice downstairs is gray and it's very it's a Bluey gray on the dark got dark wall as well nice oh cool it's been a purple I've any purple dyes I've been finding uh in Conan I've been dumping into the uh to the the Armory box for you oh thank you don't don't be shy if you if you see that there and go [ __ ] I wish I'd found all that purple Dy it is for you oh thank you very much yeah I've been I've been enjoying Conan but I um I I need to find something else to do with it because I just got obsessed with building and I'm burnt out on building so I need to go do
something else see Conan is only good it's not good for just wandering and exploring m that gets very tedious very soon what it is good for is setting yourself little goals and achieving those goals so whether it's like I'm going to build a house today okay great then that's going to take you so long that's going to take you a full day in real time to do yeah or whether it's just saying like um I'm going to update the Lesser wheel of pain to the full wheel of pain y you you got to Source all of that materials and then I can update I could go our Shrine I think uh now that I yeah I'm sure you can yeah but I um see I spent worship at your Shrine oh no you worship at the sex Shrine yeah yeah yeah I do but I cuz I
was stupid cuz I um I I wanted my Conan uh experience to be as authentic as possible so when I built this character I made him a Samaran which Conan actually is and um I chose to worship chro which is the god that Conan worships but you can't build a shrine to chro so I could just not do any religious stuff until I was wandering in the wilderness and I found a sex Shrine with people worshipping at it and uh there was a girl there who taught me yeah wink wink the girl taught me how to um worship the sex god so now now I do now I'm a priest in sex god stuff sexology sexology yeah very cool see the I I I spent the whole day yesterday uh doing stuff around my house I washed
like power wash my house but one of the other things I did I I I I got a pole saw which is like a chainsaw and a long pole and I cut down a bunch of branches that were kind of hanging over the driveway and there was one that was kind of heading towards the house so I trimmed the trees I collected all this firewood then I cut it up and uh and then stacked it and put it you know made the fire pit outside and then I went into Conan and I was like you know what I just did this for [ __ ] eight hours today so maybe I'll play something else for a while yeah that's great well I you know I live in uh I live in a bustling Metropolis like I just long for living by a river and cutting up wood well [ __ ] I do it
so it it's still fun it's still fun so uh cyber Punk oh [ __ ] cyber Punk man did you watch the trailer yeah yeah it looks great I've been waiting for this game since they announced it and yeah obvious this is just like you take everything that I like well see I've got two types of like right see The Witcher fulfills a niche that like that's my jam The Witcher like they just they got it they nailed it and now same [ __ ] company city project red is like let's make a game about something else Matt's obsessed with yeah that's right and then like [ __ ] man the characters in this trailer kind of look like you a little bit you know what I'm saying sure so you know just I'm sure there's characters in The Witcher that kind of look like you
too if there's anybody out there who hasn't watched the trailer oh there are characters who look like me in The Witcher yeah definitely um the if you haven't watched the Cyber Punk trailer just [ __ ] watch it and and it's beautiful it's it's like Blade Runner mixed with it kind of mixed with The Witcher from as far as it you know the the style of game I assume except it's first person because they really wanted you to experience the game from the perspective of I really like their explanation people are complaining oh we don't want a first person we want third person they said we we thought about it and in The Witcher you play geralt in cyber punk you play you yourself yeah so it's first person I like [ __ ] yeah that's a really
good way of palming off those complaints yeah that's right yeah exactly right because you could just put in a third person camera like in Skyrim but whatever um yeah and then yeah so people modifying so it reminds me of Shadow run the shadow Run games mixed with [ __ ] Blade Runner mixed it's just yeah yeah yeah little bit snow crash yeah massive open world RPG from from what I've understand and people like of all the [ __ ] years not to go we didn't go to E3 this year H and apparently everybody who's seen the closed door demo which [ __ ] could have done if I was there is just like it's the [ __ ] greatest thing ever so yeah it looks beautiful and it's going to be on Xbox one I thought for sure it would be an nextg thing but I guess they're going to
do the you know cuz I think we're getting one more round I think we're getting one more round for the Xbox One well with the with the the thing with the Xbox and Xbox One you can just provide better assets for the the 1X so in theory as long as I I guess as long as the stuff like because AI I guess takes CPU and if you want to upgrade that then that's a hardware upgrade like there's nothing you can do about it and if the game requires it then it won't run on older ones if that makes sense but if it's just visuals in theory you could scale that down and still get it to run on the old stuff yeah but I mean the fact that there's a Fallout announc at this E3 Fallout almost always comes into the the first kind of wave of a new console yeah CU I I I bought my I bought my Xbox
360 when they released Fallout I bought my Xbox One when Fallout was announced I got to Oblivion I bought my Xbox yeah I actually bought it the day after the I bought my 360 the day after they got released and Dave told me [ __ ] what are you doing you in pre-order you're never going to get one you're never going to get one and then I went to Dick Smith and bought one yeah did not sell was devastated oh he was too busy playing [ __ ] video games he didn't give a [ __ ] but yeah that's right I remember when the only cuz Dave Dave lived with me I think when he bought yeah yeah that's yeah it came out during that period yes yeah I bought a new I bought a new TV for my 360 R call and I bought the last the last [ __ ] CRT television they ever made you did
because uh we had to get it up three flights of stairs made a massive HD CRT and Dick Smith had a clearance on them because no one wanted them and I was like I'll have that listeners imag imagine a TV the size of of an LED TV only [ __ ] old fashioned picture it weigh 110 kg no it's not a joke people it weighed 110 kgs lived in a mezzanine on the third floor of our building thanks buddy I appreciate it it looks it looks it looks beautiful so um something else uh game related that people are talking about right now is Battlefield 5 um yeah but uh I don't think I'm going to get this m I don't think I'm going to play it either I'm just yeah I mean I'm I'm furious I mean look
I'll I'll play any character in a game providing they've got a penis yeah right because I love penis so much Matt I love it so much not play any characters when I'm playing my realistic War simulator where I'm riding standing up on the back of a horse shooting a flamethrower doing back flips and and jumping out of airplanes and and then Landing in another airplane and and I just don't want a [ __ ] woman there spoiling the realism you know I know I know I mean hand me the sandwich and get away you know this is a dangerous place it is a dangerous place for a woman yeah yeah uh we're being factious obviously yeah I'm not gonna play it because I don't like I don't like battlefield but that's the reason way but I don't give a [ __ ] that there's women in it no [ __ ] put more
women in I don't give a [ __ ] like it put put everybody in there it's it's got nothing to do with anything it's a [ __ ] video game like yeah that's right people are so mad about this and I'm like just [ __ ] shut up like and there were no women in World War II shut up and then not that they've got like a doesn't she have a robot arm or something as well so not mad about the [ __ ] robot arm it's just what's attached to the arm pisses you off yeah that's not the thing that's breaking your uh your suspension of disbelief yeah shut
up shut up internet yeah just go play the [ __ ] game or don't play the game EA said if you don't like it don't buy it like yeah yeah yeah it's it's yeah they've come out and said we didn't make this for you we made it for ourselves this is the game we wanted to make and it's exactly the way we want it so if you don't like it just don't play it I don't I just don't I don't understand how someone with a straight face can say I'm not going to buy Battlefield because I find Battlefield very realistic and and if I see a woman it is going to ruin the game like I can't believe that these people are serious and therefore unless you play Battlefield like where you basically just hide it in a [ __ ] ditch for 3 days and occasionally stick
your gun out and take a shot but if you play this like everyone else plays it which is like a [ __ ] Cowboy then you're already not doing it realistically no I I just don't I so this is one case where you I can't it's this has got to be a joke and some people are just going way too far with it like I I cannot believe that you are actually upset about this like come on yeah I don't get it it's like when people people said oh I don't like the Last Jedi that okay fine I don't like Last Jedi because he's got women telling men what to do in it what like Fu have you never had a job yeah like what is wrong with you this is feminist propaganda no just that's just how the
world is cuz [ __ ] morons yeah but then that's right and you know what if it's not how this this world is it's at least how the world in [ __ ] Star Wars is so get over it it's made up so yes I won't be playing Battlefield 5 but not because of that neither No No in fact maybe I will play it just because yeah [ __ ] it let's pre-order it yeah I wonder if uh if you pre-order you get any bonuses like um you know a new dress for her to wear or something you get a strap on for the woman just to just so the immersion doesn't break yeah yeah Y and you only you only can [ __ ] um people who have opted um to not have the women in their in their game

know some other kind of show YouTube show or something like that then then you're contributing directly to that show being made um in a way that now that now more than ever everything is user generated uh that just puts your money your mouth is literally yes in some cases but enough about that well we've got some we got some movie news uh this week yeah we've got a lot of movie news we got some movie studio news uh we've got uh got some people on the out people on the in yeah uh so the first one in isolated case is John Lasser um who's uh known to all of us as the you know just the you know the fun guy from Pixar y director of Toy Story everyone loves him and he's
just a just a sweet nice man uh not so much apparently not at all uh from what we hear which I mean that's awful uh because I this was a guy I I I respected oh yeah absolutely yeah him along with Ed catall uh were kind of like you know just kind of I mean not Idols as such like I didn't but they're certainly inspirational figures cuz you know they some good stuff absolutely I mean they're Pioneers in their field yes butar great quality work apparently amongst the things that John Lasser was doing he was also inappropriately touching and kissing people at work so don't do that what are we doing this hard is it touching and kissing how hard is it not to [ __ ] molest people
apparently very hard this is what I'm going to stop giving people benefit of the doubt at this point cuz I thought maybe oh maybe there was some misunderstandings and then there was that about how he had made an intern pay for a lap dance for him at a strip club and I was like well that's a little odd but if he was you know I'm sure maybe there's a context yeah I'm sure well you know [ __ ] I've got friends who would probably do something like that you know if they were drunk and it's not that it's appropriate but and in a business the end of the world but in a business sense yeah definitely very inappropriate but maybe the lines were blurred because they were out as friends or something like that but then apparently he just it's is just standard stuff for him and he um does
the staff at Pixar there were people who threatened to quit if he came back and I'm like well that means I guess that indicates that it's it's a big deal yeah he is not going to be back at no no he's not no Toy Story 4 not not well not directed by him anyway with him so another uh another Studio Big Wigs getting outed um the uh Jeff Jones the uh DC entertainment president yes has been sacked uh not from touching anyone thankfully uh just from making a string of shitty movies just from touching some crap that we had to watch yeah for not for not touching our hearts and Minds which was his one job yeah yeah they're trying to I guess Salvage the DC film
Universe uh and they're far I think they gotten rid of a few people over at uh DC yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah they have uh Diane Nelson's gone as well um New Blood uh so I think I think they're just restructuring now so uh I think Jim Lee um is uh going to be the ccoo now which is going to pretty much incorporate the head of entertainment right and uh look [ __ ] they do they do need a change of management there yes I mean somebody has been saying yes to some pretty shitty ideas over there sure yeah I think they just don't have well this some of the other news will [ __ ] will demonstrate this I don't think they have like a a
cohesive plan or like a see Marvel seems to have like I imagine in a sense Marvel has like this Bible of of this is what this is how all the characters this is this is and they're very controlled within a Contex they give directors seemingly freedom to do things but there are restraints and it is it is controlled and planned it just doesn't seem like DC has that cuz they're all over the place no but uh if they're still going to go down the route that they were heading then I I I don't see that changing soon because what the plan apparently is now is that they're going to be two completely separate DC universes one is going to be the dark DC Universe and one is going to be the
fluffy DC Universe which I guess is their way of saying we don't know what you want so we got no idea what we're doing help so there are two Joker movies coming out this has been rumored but apparently now this is official there is a Jared Leo Joker movie uh which is based on his character from uh the academy award-winning film Suicide Squad unbelievable but there's there's also going to be uh what is what is sure to be just a [ __ ] balls out crazy ride where Wen Phoenix [ __ ] Hollywood's Rainman uh he's going to play the joker I'm going to I watch the [ __ ] out of that I don't care produced by
Spielberg [ __ ] I will watch the [ __ ] out of that yeah it's even if it's not good it's going to be worth watching oh absolutely yeah I mean for starters I'm assuming this is going to be the first time we'll ever see the Joker with an enormous grizzled beard you know sure yeah or or a mustache like he had in in her that be great yeah even though I didn't like that movie but yeah or trying to [ __ ] his sister like he did in uh Gladiator Gladiator yeah I think this was the first movie I saw him in yeah definitely he's very good in it oh [ __ ] he's so good and and to be fair his sister was very hot yeah he's very good at uh he's just a good [ __ ] plays a good [ __ ] you know he is a good
[ __ ] you know if he came to Australia and uh and uh unfortunately died there that's probably what it would say on his Tombstone elies Wen Phoenix he was a good [ __ ] so there's that and then apparently we've we've lost Ben Affleck as Batman now is that true yeah yeah that's that's completely true um Matt re is the Batman apparently is is being made without Ben Affleck anym because uh well okay so he may still will be contracted to do uh some uh of the Justice League movies that fit into the the whichever of the two universes they fit into the fluffy one or the dark one and I'm not even sure which which which [ __ ] Joker is the fluffy one is Jared L The Fluffy
Joker I don't know can we call him the fluffy Joker from now fluffy Joker yeah yeah yeah ladies and Gentlemen The Fluffy Joker I think I see Jared fluffy Joker yeah yeah um so Ben Affleck is Fluffy Batman yeah he [ __ ] he's going to love that I know oh because uh you know of course Ben was going to write direct and star yeah um and then he decided until they crushed him yeah they crushed his little spirit and then he said beat the [ __ ] will to make a Batman movie out of him yeah he's like I'll direct it still and star but I'm not going to write it because you guys
want something different to me but I'll still only direct it if it's really good if the script is really good and then he saw the script and said I'm not going to direct this um I'm still happy to star in it providing that uh everything's good and now he's saying you know what guys [ __ ] do this without me like imagine one day right you you you like guys like Disney's asked me to direct a Star Wars film I can write direct and star in it and we're all like [ __ ] D that's so good and you're like yeah and 6 months later you're like I [ __ ] quit I'm not doing it I know I can't imagine anything I want to do worse in the entire world now cuz that's the thing Matt what did they do to you if you came to me if you came to me and said they're casting me as the new
Batman they're they all man I've seen you in a Batman costume I know you want to be Batman if you came to me after a year and said n [ __ ] I'm not doing it I don't want to be mean you're not doing it I want Batman yeah I I want to literally be anything else yeah just not Batman poor Ben Affleck what did they do to him I know have you seen that photo of him during the Justice League I know I'm pretty sure we smoking outside yeah he's got a little pot belly and he's smoking he's just like [ __ ] it want to be Batman anymore I'm not [ __ ] doing this um but Christian Bale who was just [ __ ] all in like yeah yeah different experience clearly or
losing and gaining weight yeah but I mean he had Christopher Nolan exactly holding his hand yeah you know but uh apparently Matt Reeves is the Batman uh I don't know if it's going to be an origin story and let's [ __ ] hope it's not but it will focus on Batman as a younger man according to uh latest sources that's a little burn in there as well just like they haven't heard him enough yeah and also a thinner man yeah and a man with a bigger dick also a better actor man just kidding butle fine oh man hey I watched a movie randomly last night called detour have you seen that no it's
it's got Tai Sheridan in it Tai Sheridan who plays uh young cyclops in uh oh yeah X-Men um this movie is pretty cool and I can't really describe it without spoilers so uh just check out the trailer detour Tai Sheridan and if it looks like your thing take a look uh I really liked it all right Luke thanks yeah yeah that's my it's not a review in two in two weeks I'll tell you what it's about if you haven't seen it yet but I'm giving you guys a chance now cuz it's a good movie yeah all right cool thank you do we want to end on some Star Wars news we do play the jingle um I've got to find the jingle I got this new new you don't have to literally play it anymore we we understand what the jingles are
you're right J always puts them in even when we forget yeah she puts the ones in that we forgot to even mention I got this new app to play Jingles it's like a like actual like uh like a soundboard kind of you know radio station soundboard type app oh yeah except I've got to organize them on here cuz I dragged them all in in there they're not alphabetical anymore I right number them or something so I purposely didn't read this article Matt because I want you to pitch this to me okay this is yeah so George Lucas came out and said uh he he he said he was going to do three films he had planned to do three films after Return of the Jedi like he had his sequel Trilogy really cuz I think I've I've heard him say he was never going to do that well
and I've also also heard him say there were 12 so who the [ __ ] knows he's saying that he was going to do 78 and n and he met with the core cast to come back over it to come back and do it m and uh and then now he's come out uh there's a book apparently called James Cameron's story of Science Fiction okay and uh and George Lucas had this to say about his his sequel trilogy The Next Three Star Wars films we're going to get into a microbiotic world but there's this world of creatures that operate differently than we do I call them the wills and the wills are the ones who actually control the universe they feed off the force if I'd held under the company I would have done it and then it would have been done of course a lot of fans would have hated
it just like they hated The Phantom Menace and everything but at least the whole story from beginning to end what have been told so it was going to be about it was going to be about microorganisms lorans I guess the wills the wills were midians that's a bum sh look anyone who knows anyone who's read the original drafts of Star Wars is no stranger to The Wills right right well the isn't that the sacred texts in The Last Jedi has something to do with that too right oh and the Guardians of the wheels are in Rogue one that's what they are too yeah yeah so it's still in there the original title of Star Wars was The Adventures of Luke's Star Killer and the [ __ ] something something of the wills like some long cuz George is actually great
at um rehashing ideas he didn't use and just changing them and forcing them back in he's definitely an ideas man over necessarily I guess a director if that makes sense so uh how does this work then who knows I bet he doesn't even know cuz he I bet he never got that far it's probably just had outlines and there and then Disney like no yeah cuz George was like here are my ideas everybody will hate them and Disney's like cool well that's obviously we're not going to do that then cuz we want did you just hand me a manila folder cuz I've already put that in the bin that's right and then uh yeah I wrote this in in my little office which is lined with those how to write a screenplay books from the the behind have you seen that
we've I wish you were joking Matt [ __ ] me that's so funny you see him there riding in lead pencil on his yellow notebook with screenwriting for dummies on the desk I don't know why he would include that in the behind the scenes fo a lot of that stuff you know there's that whole sequence with [ __ ] Yoda no you know he needs to look sad not sad sad like why would he include that why would he make himself look like a fool I don't know just going around circling things with a highlighter admitting that they shot the first draft of the script no and and then when he's in there looking at they're building the [ __ ] building sets and he walks in and he's like I guess I better finish the script like oh my God yeah yeah yeah
[ __ ] when he's showing uh when he's showing Steven Spielberg around oh yeah the goas yeah and he gets the names wrong of some of the [ __ ] creatures billberg breaks a battle droid oh wow it's going to be great it wasn't great it wasn't great no no it was not yeah so yeah that's what uh that's what Lucas was going to try and make a film about microscopic organisms yeah and but you know what I'm I'm I'm almost wishing I'd seen it yeah like what the [ __ ] would that have been like what does he mean it's going to enter a microscopic world like it's actually going to be about the [ __ ] Wheels the M like all right yeah let him make it please I want to see it exactly right a long time ago in a Petri dish far far away just zooms zooms through a
through a microscope there's one thing the prequels are and that is creative they are definitely more creative than than the sequel Trilogy has been so far and he comes up with some [ __ ] cool [ __ ] I feel like it's his execution that suffers like if if he had the prequels had somebody assisted him with the screenplays like they did in the old days yep y i I really think they could have been really good cuz agreed yeah there's some cool [ __ ] in there it's just he's not he needs someone say I really like it goes into the politics of it you know what I mean like we we do want to see how the Republic crumbled and and the empire built like that's all stuff that would have been interesting to see yes he just didn't do it interestingly and like Darth Maul right
cool concept and that that's like he came up with the concept of Darth Maul and then stopped and just put that in the movie it's like no you need to you need to make him a character like it's not a character like like that's I actually think that's probably the fundamental issue with the prequels is the characters don't they're not anything they're just like these shallow kind of you seen that video of uh is it or is that in the red Le media where they where they try to uh ask describe them people to describe characters yeah yeah yeah yeah and nobody can describe the characters without the prequels don't mention their appearance mention the character and then yeah you can't well look whatever what do I know I've never written a we were owed we were owed that
we were owed some good movies that's not true I have written screenplays they just never got turned into anything yeah and never will not my calling might be yours not mine who's got the energy not me was you [ __ ] chopping down trees and painting my house and I'm I'm I'm too busy turning down Batman for sex no [ __ ] we got a we got to film for that oh we do we I've got to do the audio for that that's waiting on me isn't it I'm a [ __ ] dick uh it's waiting on all of us let's be honest that's all for this week thank you for listening and we hope you enjoyed the show if you enjoyed it then please subscribe and item to receive episodes automatically we'll see you next time
