achievements what I've done is I've turned up the force feedback on my steering wheel quite High mhm and I think that been considered a workout that's making my steps go up cuz I'm moving and I just want to is that cheating yes almost certainly cheating if well here's the thing if it it's only cheating if you don't explain to people that's what you're doing okay it's notan if you explain the the situation and you say I'm raising money ple I'm going to sit on my ass and hold on to this thing that vibrates uh would you want to give me money to do that and if people say yes well that's not cheating but if you say I am also going to do 10,000 steps a day and then you don't that would be

cheating doing that on top on top of the 10,000 you are in a wheelchair I'll point out so I mean if somebody if somebody rolled up to me in a wheelchair and said I'm doing this challenge where I need to take 10,000 steps in a day uh not really plausible for me for um reasons I won't get into but um would you mind if I played 10,000 video games instead or whatever the [ __ ] you're planning to do then you know I think I'd have a soft spot for that yeah just F like if I do play like a the steering wheel I'm moving my arms a lot which is excise I'm also thinking of rock band if I play the drums you're thinking of rock band no no while while you're driving might be another game I'm think think times a day I'll be really good at thinking about it by the end of

that I think my point is simply that that I'm I'm not belittling anybody who is n able to do 10,000 steps in a day I'm just saying if you're honest no it's not cheating if you're not honest it is cheating that's that's that's it really just what cheating actually is no fun at all I so Luke is this your way of asking us for money oh it most certainly is I'll be sending you the link okay right now oh I'm going to want to see those steps that's all yeah just need verification on that I'm carefully check the wording on your page just to see what it is you claim you're going to be doing MH look if there was some kind of masturbatory counterpart to this I reckon I could raise quite a bit of cash 10,000

Strokes the the the step counter is on your wrist this is an untapped mine's not on my wrist but it would still work all right now um I befriended a uh a a disabled person yesterday oh okay what kind of disabled leg disabled no uh this he had he had Down syndrome oh okay mhm and I uh we were at System of a Down syndrome yeah oh you're familiar with the band yeah yeah it was the yeah um can look that up on YouTube uh people that's a thing actually don't don't look that up it's horribly offensive but do they have Down syndrome look it up 10 years ago when when it was still

okay yeah yeah I'm joking I know think it was okay so anyway we went to this uh huge antique fair and when I say huge this is like the big actually literally the biggest uh Festival I've ever been to are you going an teing is that what you're telling us right now I don't really know what that means so something that what does antiquing mean and I'll tell you if I did it you you go shopping for antiques no we weren't looking for antiques really what were you looking for in the Antiques I can't even talk but why were you at an antique Fair well it's just our I mean the handmade stuff and secondhand stuff you antiques yeah

yeah uh it's it's the biggest Fair festival thing I've actually ever been to it's like an entire suburb converted into tents selling old [ __ ] and actually we we didn't we got like maybe halfway through it and we were like let's go I can't walk anymore like it's just tense and tense and tense of the same stuff including a disturbing amount of Nazi memorabilia oh really I okay just because never seen that stuff for sale before in my life cuz I guess there's not a whole lot of it in Australia people had like a bunch of military stuff and then just a whole bunch of fing Nazi stuff heaps of it what kind of stuff are we talking like uh bayonets knives um bits of uniforms

helmets you know Hitler Youth daggers so cool stuff did you say there was more Nazi stuff than there was American stuff no uh I would say there was more combined more Japanese and Nazi stuff than American stuff why that is right cuz we won the war so that's the [ __ ] we brought back yeah exactly the rest of it is just stuff this is someone else's stuff yeah pulled off of a corse stuff yeah but it just surprised me I just there was like a whole display case full of [ __ ] Nazi medals and stuff and I'm like I can buy those that's wow what did you see my Snapchat today was it Singapore ComiCon and there was one of those kind of uh retro action figure stalls which I always spend way too much time in um and then I came across this

one set of three sexy Nazis did you buy it no no I didn't oh this was a huge event lots and lots of people and we parked uh not a lot of parking we ended up we paid $5 to park in the in the car park of a church nearby that was charging mhm and we we parked up and we said oh is there a restroom we can use and they said yeah we went around under the building they have them down there and there was a there were lines two lines big lines cuz there was a lot of people mhm and everyone was just saying well it's men's and women's but they're just it's just a single room so it doesn't really matter and the men's line is shorter so some women if they don't give a [ __ ] of just

getting in the men's line and so we're like all right fine so we just went and stood in the men's line together Jenner and I mhm and then to Wai line whatever Matt what just an innocent innocent little the rest room for the two of you so we're in the line and this gentleman with Down Syndrome comes walking along walks straight past us and just stands in front of Jenna and like like innocently and I said uh so and I said oh excuse me mate the line starts back here and he turns around he goes oh sorry and then like walked around to the end and then Jenna gives me this look like what are you doing and I was like I'm like what and

she's like he's I'm like yeah I know but so what but still the line's back there start to go the end the line get a free pass just cuz life [ __ ] him so he goes to the line and then the next person comes along and he and then he tells them the line starts here and I was like oh what have I done you've started something yeah but then we get to the front of the line and I said to J go first and she goes in and this guy goes but but no no boys only boys only and I was like I'm like oh no no no it's okay buddy they they said it's fine just you know it's just a just a room and I think it's fine and he goes he goes oh you have a nice beard and I was like oh thanks thanks uh and then he introduced himself his name is Jimmy uh we shook

hands we're chatting he owns a business uh and then yeah and then Jenna came out and um I went in and then we we went about business and uh and it was fine but I was made to feel really awful about the fact that I I had corrected him my question is it's fine right are you a terrible person yes you are but not for that you've done worse things no I I think I think that was fine that's what I thought yeah I think it's fine too I think it's fine you you let him have a little look at your beard you do have a very nice beard thank you um that's exactly what I said to him thank you yeah and uh you know maybe he'll maybe he'll grow his own beard now uh maybe you know maybe you've inspired him I wasn't having a go at him no you should

have asked him with his business if you want to sponsor the podcast hold on I want to know what this business is he said oh my name's Jimmy and we shook hands and I said oh my name's Matt and he said oh I've got a Matt he works for my business and I said okay and he said yeah I sell things and I like okay no no uh and then and then I was able to go in and use the bathroom Soh that's as far as we got so just to be clear Matt when he used the bathroom you had left the room already that is true okay I just needed to clarify that yes I don't know what you're implying here you've implied that I was in there with Jenna and now you've implied that I was in there with with Jimmy you're all over the place I'm not

quite sure what you're accusing me of no no look Matt I mean if if you feel that this innocent line of questioning is accusatory then that says more about you than it does about me I just I just wish you turn that the lamp off I my favorite part was when you said to the the little down centrr boy the line starts here and then point it at your own butt you know you've been talking to Jimmy haven't you Jimmy and I are like this you can't see what I'm doing but I'm doing some with my fingers this is an audio audio format there I just want a confirmation that I'm not a horrible person for correcting him didn't think so no I think it's okay he needs to learn and um yeah you know Luke started um telling people that he passes on the street what

laws they're breaking so I don't see why he can do that and you can't direct the mentally challenge to the end of the line it does come down to how you tell and he's also Luke's committing fraud by uh fabricating the results of there no fraud step counter they say you can do other activities to get those steps up yeah shaking the device is probably not what they had in mind the device that's what you're calling him now yeah look the device the other activities they say surfing soccer mhm Tai Chi Yoga gardening how the [ __ ] would it would taiichi like get your steps up you do stand pretty still at least your lower body is still yeah but as Luke already pointed out it

doesn't strap onto your leg which would make a lot more I think the whole thing is just getting people active sure and so you're trying to undermine that obviously yes and just do what I do every day mhm will you sponsor me to do what I do every day used to do the the MS readathon oh yeah always felt CU you got paid in pizza and well and cuz I was I read I used to read anyway I think it was like it was kind of to trick kids into reading and I was like oh yeah all right I'll read sure I didn't start reading till 1991 okay okay the Empire came out honestly like I not going to read anything until Timothy Zan writes a novel and then I'm then I will learn to

read specifically for to the Empire no I did read but I never read for enjoyment I did read but I didn't like it yeah so is that the first novel you ever read you know Alan Dean Foster wrote some pretty good before that no no I mean air to the Empire oh air to the Empire sorry I thought I thought you said edge of the Empire and I was like that's the game no okay Empire and then dark force rising and then uh the last command that's his Trilogy have you read um thrawn I haven't yet I have a signed copy I haven't read it do you have a signed copy signed by Admiral thrawn himself that's right signed by Timothy's AR when I when we sent Luke that little snap awesome it was awesome he's a nice guy no I haven't read it yet I want to there's a lot of Star Wars books I want

to read don't read from a certain point of view don't don't it's such a mixed bag I really didn't like a lot of it not for see and now now I feel like I have to qualify that because people are going to hear that and go oh because they made um the taken they made taken gay in it like I don't care about that they're just really poorly written stories like okay it's just it's it's it's a weird we'll get to the poorly written stories in a sec but can I just can I just in on something there TK's gay yep I never saw him as a sexual being you know I I I never really assumed he was heterosexual either but it's just funny that he he [ __ ] dude in in this book does he the the whole point of the book is that it's about the side characters from Star Wars and it takes moments from the Star Wars

films and expands upon them and some of them are [ __ ] uh like for example the the Droid that blows up uh when they R2 R5 R2 R5 or something you mean the one yeah the little red guy that blows up he has a bad motivator right he didn't he didn't have a bad motivator how about that one2 actually sabotaged him it wasn't no it wasn't that the uh it's old Canon the Jawas are just bad you know bad scam artists or anything like that it's because he realized that U and three were working for the rebellion and so he committed suicide oh what what yeah he committed suicide and it's it's there's

a short story in there from the point of view of him and of him trying to overload his Moor he he believed in the rebellion and so he was like no I can't separate 3PO and R2D2 he he knew that it was more important that R2 go it's it's it's not is that because the three of them had been chatting while they were in the sand crawler no I what do you do protocol that makes no sense cuz in the novelization of Star Wars it actually says R2D2 there's one where actually does that to him there's one where a jawwa on the sand crawler takes the memory he's supposed to wipe all the droids and he he's going through the r2's memories and he basically watches the prequels and then he's like n this is important I better leave it in there

then he didn't see the prequels Matt I'm calling you out there and then so I I stopped reading because I was like this this is not for me this is too [ __ ] weird and it sounds like the old Tales of books like but then there's a there's a story later on that I cuz I cuz I I started looking up reviews cuz I'm like am I the only one who thinks this is a bit [ __ ] and I looked up reviews and no a lot of people did a lot of people didn't like there there other kind of progressive stuff that they've put in there later on like yes taken is gay he was having an affair with tk41 what and that's why that's why he wasn't at his post was never at his post well it doesn't make any sense anyway because he was not it's not like like well he was he was blowing Tarkin at the

time but he's not no because they um it's not they they they they lured him onto the Falcon and killed him and stuffed him in the smuggling compartments didn't they that's why tk41 is not in his post that's what you call it so I don't really understand I'm sorry gr moof tarken would not have a a secret romance with a lonely Storm Trooper guarding H homophobe someone is going to correct me I am sure it's probably maybe that's a misrepresentation of what happens but I am I am I sure that there is something like that in there because I saw people being angry about it in reviews and I was like not that I don't I don't give a [ __ ] if the taken and tk421 they can all be gays I don't give a [ __ ] but I also I don't think that's a Star Wars book that

I really give a [ __ ] about so I I stopped reading it and uh no you know what Luke read it I want to know what you think all right I'll try and read it there's another there's a story that's about the guy who's in charge of uh of balancing the books on the [ __ ] star destroyer and decides they can't afford to keep shooting all these [ __ ] Escape pods it's like that one I was amusing but it could have been a lot shorter sure like the all right the joke is in the in the summary of the the story I don't need to read the story yeah that's that's that's a joke right in and of itself no yes no no no there's a there's a story in there so sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch a

oneliner that they turn into a 7 to 10 minute production yeah and then into a film yeah so anyway I wouldn't recommend that book personally speaking of films and speaking of things I wouldn't recommend uh I saw a movie this week called upgrade you guys heard of this no heard of it so um I've wanted to see this for a little while now because uh it uh it's Stars an actor that I like Logan Marshall Green uh he's in a ton of stuff uh but he's not particularly well known but he was in Prometheus as the boyfriend uh oh yeah cool um and he's in a show called Quarry which I [ __ ] love and then he's in this movie now directed by Lee wanell right co- co-author of Saw Right filmed in Australia but with everyone putting on

American accents and and one American actor uh that can't go well look here's the thing the premise is [ __ ] great and it was shot well the action is amazing but it was just [ __ ] awful like the script is just awful like every bit of dialogue was just completely on the nose you know what I mean like I I am now telling you what is happening in this scene right and it's such a shame there's little shout out there to your mate Matt so he goes to this uh he goes to this old apartment building and he's looking for the right name and there's um there's a j Juan up there oh right so was a nice little

nod but uh man upgrade I wanted you to be better wanted you to be better Aquaman in cinemas soon I think I saw a trailer for it and then I went one where there's they put an AI chip in his head or something like that and then he can give over to the chip to make him sort of faster that's the one so he's got this neural implant that basically he's a technophobe yeah he is so it's in this this kind of the near future when there self-driving cars and uh computers have gotten better and all of this [ __ ] but he's just like totally hands off but then he gets he becomes a paraplegic um it's starting to sound like Avatar actually but he becomes a paraplegic and then this kind of mad scientist puts this chip in him that uh reanimates his limbs uh but he soon

finds that he's basically superhuman um because he can let the chip just take over him and then he's basically a [ __ ] ninja sool way Luke described it made me think of like just brainstorming like Conflict for a character like he's he's got a chip in his head but he's a technophobe you got to come up with a Counterpoint how are you going to flesh out the character how you going to flesh him out iric about this like uh did you watch uh what's the uh oh my god the guy Duncan Jones new fil film that one on Netflix cuz I'm worried it's not going to be good and I don't want to watch a [ __ ] Duncan Jones I like it I liked it but it's about a guy in the far future and he's got to use technology to solve a mystery but

he's armish oh what yeah like I don't know it just reminds me of of like brainstorming in in screen writing class like how do you compress conflict characters yeah so upgrade it's got like a red poster with his face on it I know that seeing it does and man like I really I've been waiting like this is one of those ones that I've been checking torrent sites for for months waiting for a decent copy to drop you know so you can imagine my disappointment 5 minutes into this movie and I was like oh this is [ __ ] I learned that it's not discussed that you look on torrent sites here as openly as it is elsewhere oh right because I happened to a conversation with some people at work and I just happened to mention that uh I just all I said was oh yeah we

downloaded stuff all the time in Australia and everyone was like whoa whoa whoa talk about that oh okay okay right like oh definitely don't say you do it in Australia it's not illegal use them it's not illegal to download it's illegal to share that's right but here it's all illegal so apparently it's not suitable workplace conversation well I suppose it's like uh it's like if you take drugs you know nobody cares if you do and some people think it's cool that you do but some people don't and you just don't tell people cool what people like Dan think you're cool yeah that's right I just think drug users are the best no but I was with a client the other day who started talking

about how she loves smoking weed and it's like okay that's fine like do what you want uh it's not my it's not my jam but if you do it that's like totally cool but like I don't know why you're telling me like if you're trying to impress me with the knowledge I'm not impressed and actually I feel a bit uncomfortable now cuz I don't know what to say about it here weed's fine like well actually in Rhode Island technically it's not but in Massachusetts it is and a bunch of other states it is so it's that's like right next door isn't it yeah everyone like the no drama talking about [ __ ] weed at work like yeah right make jokes about people living next to dispensaries and and but do not download your weed from The Pirate Bay exactly Elon Musk was smoking weed

on The Joe Rogan podcast know I watched that yes so funny I love that I I actually I listen to Joe Rogan when there's an interesting person on yeah think we've talked about this before I think Joe asks pretty good questions but [ __ ] man he was so out of his depth with Elon Musk yeah like he's like Joe would bring up some like oh do you think we should be worried about these Huawei phones and Elon musk's like ah I don't think so and he's like what do you mean man they could be listening and he goes a I don't think they really care what what the average American is up to I Chinese governments probably knows what what everyone you know over here gets up to I wouldn't worry about it too much Joe's like oh okay I guess that conversation is not going to go anywhere

and then he goes he's like have you ever thought about how you could improve planes and then Elon musk's like starts going on about how like you know like oh you got to he wants to make a vertical takeoff plane but you've got like you know the force of gravity you got overcome and then gravity times mass and all this kind of stuff and then Joe goes [ __ ] I'm not smart enough for this conversation funny because actually Joe Rogan is one of the few journalists that can keep up with his guests yeah he doesn't ask dumb questions and I'm always surprised when a guest throws out something that's supposed to sound clever and Joe already knows about it yeah I feel like this is the one time I've been listening where where it felt like Joe was a little lost with with

like cuz Elon Musk is just [ __ ] all over the place and he knows too much stuff like and and also he's not he doesn't entertain any of the kind of conspiracy stuff yeah that Joe likes well I was listening to the uh the Joe Rogan interview with Neil degrass Tyson this week did you see that one that's like the opposite of that Neil degrass Tyson is just so accessible and and like yeah cuz they talked about some of the same things like tunneling instead of flying cars but when Elon Musk talks about it it's on this [ __ ] autistic level where he's it's it's he's interested completely non inclusive yeah and then cuz he's like oh yeah we build a tunnel and then you know you build like a tram kind of thing that goes in there and then you you make

create a vacuum that kind of thing and then Joe's like oh you put rockets on it and then musk's like no you don't want to release any gas into the tunnel and it's like you're no fun man he was just [ __ ] around yeah interesting guy El musk yeah he is smoking weed calling people pedos that's right he really I can't still can't believe he doubled down I know right I can I can to hear and him talk on Joe Rogan I can he's just I think he's I reckon he just does not give a [ __ ] like guaranteed he probably thought it was funny oh yeah who cares if he get sued he's got the money to back it up that little ped's going to sue him what's he going to sue me in ped Court might Sue to both of you now speaking of uh seable

offenses uh I was reading in the straights times this is our local newspaper here um about something not too far away uh up in up in China um where it's you're going to say Mars up on Mars no there is there is we've do got some Mars news got some Mars news we should we do China news first yeah yeah yeah sorry I didn't mean to Now Matt I'm not going to ask you to do a China news jingle because um well I've heard your Chinese music and quite frankly it's just not chines enough sorry about that um but a school principal has been sacked uh because part of the back to school festivities that he arranged for the kindergarten

class that was just joining uh included a pole dancing strip teas how could anyone think that was acceptable for a school was this a strip tease cuz pole dancing is not it's not just look I'm sure you can do po dancing and have it not be sexy but this no I I wasn't going to say that I was just going to say maybe they don't take their pants off this well this girl's she's she's clothed she's in [ __ ] off stilettos and these tiny little leather shorts yeah you're right I can see the the picture well you can watch the video if you want this is a she's she's definitely being all sexy I also don't think she's happy to be there yeah but is any stripper happy to be at work she's not a

[Laughter] stripper this is yeah this is a probably a poor choice uh at a a school what is this kindergarten yeah kindergarten kindergarten yeah well that's just strange so first day of school first day of kindergarten it's so first day of school ever and you get there and for your viewing pleasure Paul dance see that that's not a first day of school that's a last day of school activity well it was last day of school that's for sure I wonder if if other countries have mockup day probably they probably don't call it that cuz that's definitely Australian mup day but uh I wonder if that's a thing probably not I didn't we didn't I know at my school we didn't actually do anything for sorry at your school

y well I heard that the reason that that was the case especially for our year is because the year above us Luke apparently mucked up so [ __ ] much that our school just decided muck up day was no longer a thing not that I understand why schools allow a muck up day to be a thing anyway at all I think it's supposed to be a little constrained whereas kids just go too far at Cade school they redirected traffic through the bus Bay like the main road traffic they put up a bunch of like detour signs through the school bus Bay wow and uh and that they got them in a lot of trouble yeah the year above us filled all the drains in the school with pig [ __ ] oh God see that's I had a plan that

I in hindsight I mean it probably would have been funny definitely at the time I would have found it funny I was going to put uh because obviously it's summer at the end of the school year in Australia uh oh everywhere what am I talking about just the school school Year's January to December for our non Australian listeners America it's July to June but I was going to put a bunch of prawns in in like a Ziploc bag and then rest them on the heating elements in the heaters mhm so that they would sit there in the sweltering heat all through the summer and then in in winter in winter when they turn the heaters on the bag would melt oh god oh that's that's that's that's terrible how could you even think of

that I didn't do it this is in between um chucking cassette tapes out the window of the bus yeah as as I was I was releasing one into the wild I I had a an epiphany but but I didn't do it it's fine and I well I definitely didn't hire a pole dancer uh so so this guy got fired yeah he got fired yeah now look as we've discussed in the past Chinese do weird stuff sometimes that seems really crazy for me and pole dancing is often part of it uh I remember we did report on a a pole Dan at a at a funeral once uh right but that's because for

funerals the more people that are there the more good luck goes to the deceased in the afterlife so people do literally anything to get crowds at at somebody's funeral but uh that doesn't apply to kindergarten first day of school so I don't know what this pervert was thinking reminds me of another Nathan Fielder I have yet to check him out I I really do need to find the time oh you have to have you seen the one with the funeral home Luke what was that one where you pitches them on the idea of he he's going to hire a bunch of actors to show up at the funeral oh yes and then he he teaches that that um death is so sad song and they all sing and then they um they do this performance for the the woman and she's obviously not not interested the

best bit is I don't want to spoil it but that episode's very good spoil it no no no it's got one of my favorite Nathan Fielder moments but it's not actually to do with what I was just saying it's something else I'm going to spoil it forget it moving on watch Nathan Fielder Dan okay I will Nathan for you for me thanks man y all right so we want to go on Mars news would you want to talk about geek of the week you're very quick to say geek of the I mean celebrities die and uh and we you know it's it's up falls on to us to to judge whether or not they qualify for Geek of the week it falls under Luke yeah yeah I mean we can put Arguments for and against but at the end of the day it comes down to

Luke's Keen Eye um I'd be interested to hear a justification for not allowing this gentleman to be geek of the week so let's why don't we get into this okay so Bert Reynolds has passed away at the age of 82 yes now there is how do you die Luke some argument to not give it to him how did he die he died of a heart attack oh no sorry AIDS yeah thank you heart attack resulted from AIDS yeah oh AIDS of the heart oh that's bit of sweet isn't it you died of AIDS of the heart oh he um my argument for him not being it is he turned down a roll of style of Han Solo mhm John mlan mhm um pass down playing Batman James Bond James Bond like he passed down a lot of great roles

they were they offered him James Bond yeah yeah so he could okay but here's the thing right I want to know and this goes for other people that uh that read like Tom celic you know was was going to be Indiana Jones he didn't just read for it he was cast in it but then he was confed if he had played it would Indiana Jones had a mustache and and likewise if Bert Reynolds had played James Bond would he have played him with a mustache I thought Bert Reynolds was considered for Indiana Jones as well right didn't he wasn't it because I he may have been considered as well but it was definitely Tom Cel no no no I know I know I get that I just I'm I'm sure it was the two of them as like they both were they were the

biggest things around back then cuz I thought he turned down that as well maybe I'm maybe I am mixing him up like utterly but I thought it was both two guys mustaches it's very easy that's right but I think but I think in answering your question I think yes they they would have been played with mustaches yeah I think they would too but I think I think people I think movies from the 80s that still resonate today resonate because the people in them don't have must mustaches you know what I mean like you can't you can't make an iconic movie where somebody has a hair fad and then expect it to last beyond the decade where that fad is popular excuse me mustaches are still awesome I'm not saying they're not awesome I'm just saying they're not

popular people are wrong I think you might be right about that they should be popular but anyway I'm not going to take away G could awake for this one you going to allow [Music] it here's here's what I want to know just because he's dead does that mean nor McDonald is not allowed to impersonate him anymore because I'm really going to miss that well his Bert Reynolds was supposed to be in Tarantino's new film but obviously that can't happen now and they they did not shoot his stuff yet so it's definitely going to be recast everybody is in Tarantino's new film yeah I know but maybe maybe that's maybe nor McDonald can uh can fill in I hope so I like nor Donald I wish he was more famous than he

is I don't think I know him in any other context like what else has he done uh he had his own television show Once once was it Y what was it called the nor McDonald show nor it was called the nor McDonald show yes nor McDonald should be in Tarantino's film playing Burt reynolds's role as his Bert Reynolds character yes it's funny let's start petitioning tarano now to make that happen it's got to change.org and serious that that helps yeah change.org you get those people signing up and change lots of people's way of thinking yep that's why that's why James gun got rehired yep oh there would have been a change toog thing that wouldn't there oh I'd say so yeah yeah there is

got like 400,000 signatures if we didn't get enough likes to get con we're not going to get enough likes for this okay con was [ __ ] training kids to kill scam we did not get enough likes con's still out there that was a scam what do you mean scam con it was a scam con con is he he was like a big deal like a long time like no not a long time ago at the time that all that fuss 2012 came out like con had disappeared like and then didn't you see there was a docu a documentary of follow-up documentary where they went and they interviewed um people in The Villages in that area showed them the Coney film and they were like the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] like [ __ ] forget about con we got real

problems it was a scam like all the money was just went to the production company they hold on they got money yeah it was a it was a a a [ __ ] charity thing right for the god they got money to make film and people donated but they what do you the cone t-shirts and posters and all that stuff that they sold yeah I honestly thought it was just a Facebook thing where people you you change your profile picture you write to save save or kill or and stuff happens look I you the like button Saves the World I don't want to get sued so I'm going to add the word allegedly to to what I'm saying right now allegedly was a scam uh happy to hear otherwise but I'm pretty sure it was may not been a scam more of a just uh

no well look my understanding we got enough likes we've got enough likes to go and get Bin Laden so yep you know my understanding is that shame we didn't get enough 100% absolutely 100% a scam that's my understanding well it wasn't the first scam that they'd run either right I believe that's the case yeah that's that's why I'm saying I think it but I don't I don't think it was a scam in the traditional sense of it was all a big lie I I think these idiots really did think con was still out there right and that they were going to get him I mean maybe we could give him the benefit of the doubt all right maybe I'm being naive but I think from what I from what I heard they just thought this would be a people started latching onto it and

they were like [ __ ] let's just run with it let's ride this all the way to the bank yeah yeah let right in let us know listeners if you are familiar with con if you know him let us know where he is yeah we get him on the show defend himself if you are con and you want to get in touch podcast at multipl nerdgasm tocom um am nerdgasm on Twitter multiple nerdgasm on all your other social media things like Facebook and Instagram uh get in touch and just let us know um how relieved you were that you didn't get enough likes uh to be assassinated and speaking of likes if you if you like us uh a really great helpful thing you can do for us is leave us a positive review on whatever platform you listen to the show be it iTunes or Stitcher or Google podcasts or

they should go and you're just going to pick someone I'm just go pick someone that might be illegal just quietly Luke I think it has to be a game of of of skill in order for that's fine fine there are laws around that in Australia so you might want to look into that but it's fine all right fine see yourself well how should I how will I give it away then I believe what we've done in the past is you give them a task to perform and then on a merit basis you uh you can that's what I said they should email in and say why they should go and I'm going to pick which one okay all right at random at random yes yes yeah so yeah

there we go if you want email saile multip nasm.com and our legal eagle can email Luke multi gm.com and uh inform him as to the the laws that he's breaking Y and how how big the funds are going to be exactly all right save I'm just trying to be nice I know I know I'm not trying to shoot you down I'm just making sure you don't go to jail save file at multipl orgasm.com like I'm making money out of it costing me money to do this goddamn it me multiple I record I recorded the episode just before we started recording this one I'll edit it tomorrow and it'll be up this week very cool okay well

that's a tease speaking of people being a tease not sure which article to go to after that I came up with the uh the segue before I came up with what I actually wanted to but we we have teased Mar's news so uh yes yes well you know there's tons of Mars news at the moment because Mars is visible right now you guys been having a look at Mars I can't see it I can uh I haven't seen Mars is it visible from everywhere yeah planet Earth I think is the main place it's visible from right now um fine do I have to look I might have to look out my window you do have to look out the window Mars is the closest to Earth that it's been in 90 years I believe uh and it's just a it's just a big orange spot up there and uh but that's led to some uh that's

led to some some controversy in the past now this is not new news but this is just an article that I read this week um three men from Yemen once sued NASA for putting a probe on Mars um citing the fact that they they inherited Mars from their ancestors um right were their ancestors from Mars no but their ancestors like yeah forced to make a state yeah yeah that's right yeah like we really don't want to dignify this with a response that's right representative from NASA said wait what you you really need me to comment on [Laughter] this H well I think uh if they they win if they really want to defend Mars let's

get them up there and uh and they can do their best what and everyone else just [ __ ] no holds B yeah like if you want to go to Mars you can go but if these guys find you up there they will [ __ ] you up just send them up there and then just say all right you're the you're the you're now the guards of NASA of of Mars sorry NASA give him uh give him some baseball bats are baseball bats less effective in the gravity on Mars or more effective cuz I know on the moon a baseball bat would be more effective than it is on Earth but you could send somebody flying with that amount of force Mars has it's higher gravity I believe because it's bigger it's definitely bigger right

see now I'm questioning myself gravity on Mars no it's not it's the other way around okay so it would do some damage okay Earth is 9.8 m/ second the moon's 1.62 and Mars is 3.71 okay so not quite as good as on the moon but certainly better than here yeah I don't understand how that works the the the mes per second thing but that's what it is I think what we can take away from this is that we should definitely send them up there yeah we should definitely send them up there put your money where your mouth is if you are in charge of Mars get your ass up there it's filthy clean it up change your names each of you change your names to John Carter and get on up there and protect the planet

well if you want to get to Mars the way that he doing just fall asleep in a cave fall asleep in a cave and you will wake up on Mars no details needed it was a more innocent time for science fiction wasn't it yeah really was have either of you guys impregnated 50 women not that I'm aware of I certainly hope not I yeah I really hope cuz uh there's a fertility doctor who used his sperm to impregnate 50 of his clients now I I I kind of get this like I understand why you'd want to [ __ ] 50 women right like that makes sense to me but I would want 0% of those 50 women to get pregnant if I [ __ ] them all because that's he didn't he didn't lisal

nightmare do that he just substituted his sperm with the the donor sperm that they were supposed to be getting and yeah but why well he's clearly mentally ill that's really the only explanation uh in the 70s and 80s he did this and uh oh so this is an or it's only recently been discovered it's been discovered because you know how you've got 23 and me and all these new uh sites where you can send in and get your DNA samples and stuff they discovered that uh because they get they collect other data about you and as they were looking into it this data they found these strange patterns where where in in a certain area there were there were all these siblings and uh and they obviously

investigated and they found that all of the women uh had undergone fertility treatment at the one place and lo and behold the doctor is the father so that's there's a good chance it's more than 30 more than well he he's saying he says he did it oh about 50 times so so who knows how many actually did it he's now 79 years old uh so they've and they've taken his medical license away probably not the wor you he probably wasn't using it though was he yeah I don't think he really gives a [ __ ] at this point and he's not going to face any criminal charges uh because he lied what but it's not technically illegal to just lie so surely it's technically illegal to put

your sperm into a woman who doesn't know you're doing it well I think the problem is they did consent to having sperm put in there and he just lied about where it came from but you could you could make that argument for any rape case this you could say come on your honor she wanted spera just not mine I think he got in trouble F lying to to investigators and saying that he didn't do it but he can't I don't I the way I'm reading this is he can't be in trouble for doing it because all he did was lie and it's not you know you can't really go to jail for lying meant to be so it wasn't like he was going everyone should be fathered by me so even though you want to get impregnated by your husband it's actually going to be my child that wasn't anything like that they were Anonymous donors that and he

just turned that Anonymous person into himself I think I I'm not sure of the specifics of each case but yes that is certainly true he just said they were Anonymous donors and used his uh and possibly maybe substituted the uh the real you know fathers who who knows they actually don't even know how many times he did it and all the circumstances so uh and then yeah know a bunch of women have complained obviously and uh and I guess not a whole lot's going to be done about it they took his license away but he wasn't using it anyway so he's no longer under criminal investigation but that's it he okay wow so if if that's something you uh you wanted to do apparently you can go right ahead yeah I I mean I don't

know if we need to play the are you sure it's a law but that can't not be a crime you would think so yeah I just f it so hard to I guess it's but depend what they were signing up for well well the donor is an if he goes no no the donor is anonymous and then he Winks like yeah well technically he didn't he didn't even lie could be could be literally anyone wink still yeah exactly could be someone in this room no no no but I I think even Anonymous I think for starters people that go to those are usually not going to an anonymous donor they're usually getting their husband's sperm put inside them right because or if they're not they're picking from that big book and if you're not exactly right you say okay I want somebody who's

definitely over 6 foot definitely have a University degree definitely isn't X Y or Z ethnicity that I don't like whoa whoa like what I don't know what everyone doesn't like something right I know I'm joking I just wanted you to say it so you think he's got this book and it's all just photos of him like one with him with a mustache one with him with a whole with with the graduation cap on it's like look at all these candidates well it could be but yeah I don't know I think it's just crazy he's not yeah how's that not illegal I think that maybe they'll change the rules so the law to to I'm going to start putting my SP in women and seeing seeing if it isn't illegal it's your phrasing it's

your phrasing there Dan that I'm uh I'm just going to have to to pull you up on that uh are you a fertility doctor could you could say that Matt well well all right in that case it's probably fine yeah probably fine you you be wearing a mask at the time presumably yeah I pronounce it fertil as well probably should make jokes about that goodbye working at Disney look going to get mad at me Jordan ropas made a very good point on the James gun thing oh when she said that blaming James gun for his what she calls shitty jokes is only half the blame that needs to be put because she rightly pointed out that back in those days everyone laughed at those dumb jokes so that the people who laughed at them should be held just as

accountable and she uses a specific instance of a song that the aess of awesome used to sing called um how to kill a hooker and um right she says she now deeply regrets singing a song about killing a hawker even though it was a joke because she has since gotten to know sex workers and found out that it is actually a dangerous existence for them and making jokes about wanting to kill them just for fun is uh not as funny as uh she thought it was at the time but she also quick is quick to point out that that was an absolute showstopper they'd sing that at every gig because audien [ __ ] loved it because it's it's shock humor that's that's like it was a whole thing and people you know it's gone out of I guess gone out of fashion I guess maybe that's

not a poor choice of words it's it's like people are are more uh empathetic I guess with with certain certain things like that so it's not you know it's just not funny now and like that and yeah like the James gun jokes and this this 10 years ago it was just very different like comedy was just different 100% and uh yeah we're all guilty especially us especially us but you know our audiences have matured we're starting to attempt to mature we're starting to attempt to mature Luke Luke's Luke's dragon is into maturity dragon is into the 21st century I'm also not mature he's just nice he's just nice just a nice guy yeah yeah hey look we got some followup and I wanted to talk about this before before we go we got two pieces of followup ooh

one of which is that uh in in in a rare turn they've not listened to us and they've cast Henry caval as geralt what did we just say it's a terrible Peak it's a terrible PE do you know why because Henry cavl is a [ __ ] terrible actor yes I've seen pictures of him you know people photoshopped him as geralt and I'm like all right fine they can make him look kind of like geralt but still he's I don't know man at least he'll be able to talk in his real accent because his American accent is [ __ ] atrocious I just don't know I guess I haven't seen him in anything except Superman and yeah well I tell you what go and see Mission Impossible and he's also dead average in that yeah is that what they may be looking for for this show just average well I wonder about the show too I mean

it's on Netflix and uh presumably it'll be you know Game of Thrones style violent and and and whatnot but I wonder how close to the originals they're going to go cuz that The Witcher gets into some some stuff some dark stuff mhm is this based on the games or is this bypassing the games and going straight to the books I think this is from the books this is the books yeah it does I think it's not in any way linked to the books to the games but the games continue the story of the books so in that sense it's going to have the same characters and stuff in it most of the time yeah just the specifics will be different I guess well I reckon yeah they could have gone with a nobody I think well though this is pretty good

public for it cuz I guess on the one hand I mean The Witcher video games are very popular but I guess it's not super wellknown generally speaking like so this gets them some star power yeah not the greatest star power I used him hopefully we're wrong hopefully he's wonderful MH we won't know till when's this coming out is this coming out next year well it'll have to be at least next year at the earliest cuz I haven't filmed and I mean be interested to see who they going cast as as the other the other witches and and Sorcerers um still a lot lot to learn get to see Superman Superman as a Witcher Witcher man Witcher man well we can't always be right sometimes Hollywood does need to

go off and try stuff out on their own but don't worry they'll come back they'll realize their mistake yeah yeah our second piece of followup is uh is War news so I'm going to do [Music] this thanks to the solo novelization we have learned that uh Chewbacca I was wrong has not knowingly eaten a human I mean he was just going to murder Han Solo for no reason well he was he was angry yeah actually it's a fair point why was he well he probably thought he was an imperial he was an imperial wait he was an imperial at the time so that that's why there you go I solved the

mystery but yeah he didn't yeah but he was also a prisoner Imperial so wasn't a yeah but chewy chew didn't understand the nuances of of things at that point but here's the thing right because chewy obviously is a big scary guy he's hairy and he's got big teeth and he goes right but um you can do than me Matt go on but we we know that actually he's not grunting his speaking a language and we know that he's actually a like like a gifted engineer right um although rewatching Empire Strikes Back Han does come in and tell him that he's doing some pretty basic things wrong and picking up the wrong screwdriver this goes there that goes there but that said

the guy knows how to [ __ ] work on spaceships right so he's obviously a smart guy some might say like at the at least intelligent than us possibly more because I don't even know how to put a [ __ ] car together let alone a spaceship right yeah but it's not your job true but what I'm saying is I'm not sure chewbaca could director film sure but we're we're on equal levels then let's say but sure Matt if I put you in a hole in the ground right and occasionally just put another person down there would you okay kill K and possibly eat that person just because you were the monster i' put in the hole you know what I mean I I think it's a very valid point why is he angry at all yeah why isn't he going oh you're a prisoner too yeah me same here yeah it

sucks down here yeah no that's the pooping Corner yeah yeah no you rais a good point and uh I think possibly it just wasn't thought through very well well now they well they might be more we might have to actually read that book to find out if there is more to it as well well I I nominate you to read that book for us Luke you you don't mind so I have to read two books now yes God please got to remember how to read now all right I'll dust off my um Kindle actually I should probably have to charge it as well yes just getting the dust off isn't going to be enough yeah and actually also buy the book I imagine Luke's Kindle looks like an old book you know where they like they

uncover the book and blow the dust yeah yeah yeah and then it's like battery's flat yeah normally what happens is I'll get it out I'll go to read something go oh battery's flat so I plug it in I charge it you forget then I forget about it and I've and I've unplugged it and put it back somewhere and then I got to read it again and it's yeah charge is dead again so never ending cycle of life do you know what I use my Kindle for now I only use it for one thing what's that I use it to purchase books from the Kindle store that I then read on my phone why don't you buy them on oh I'm going to let you get there you well no no you can you just have to use a web

browser yeah yeah this it's just faster and easier to do it straight yeah you can't you can't buy books on uh on the phone directly in the Kindle app because they would have to pay Apple 30% yeah so you have to use a web browser it's the same reason that uh you can't [ __ ] purchase audible books on the audible app yes which is a [ __ ] pain in my ass 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 items to receive episodes automatically we'll see you next time
