so I think I've worked it out I think I'm the one that will save the world welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt it's all a bit Arty so I don't really understand it Luke is that a little s penis Dan I accidentally got soap in my urethra multiple nerdgasm your guide to All Things nerdy from I think we always knew that I don't know just in general okay well at least that's how at least that's how Scientology is making me feel oh God they called and got me on the phone again today and it's not like uh they got past your secretary they got past it but it's not
what the person who I spoke to like two years ago calling so you can't be rude and I don't know what they want with me uh they want you to join Scientology Luke like you told him you would but they're just so eager like honestly they it has cost them more money than they're going to make out of me now they probably listen to this show now to keep tabs on you have you thought about that have you considered that well if they're listen can you please stop calling me cuz I do answer my phone and then I feel I'm not someone who can just hang up and I hate talking on the phone so if you could stop doing that that would be great so what you're saying is you're not interested I'm not no well this is
all their fault go on go on they want me to read and do stuff and write stuff I I don't want to do so if you didn't have to read or do anything you'd be up for it yeah yeah probably be yeah I'd go in for it then if I didn't have to do anything there you go so there's a couple there's a couple points I think the next time they call if you said to them look I've got no interest in Reading any of these pamphlets you keep sending me but if we just skip over that and we just pretend I know everything sign me up I'll pay the money and I'll be a Scientologist take it all leave just as long as you don't send me stuff and don't talk to me that will definitely take you up on that that I could handled that a lot easier Luke prefers to pay
money when he gets nothing out of it because he doesn't have to do anything exactly I mean speaking of Scientology or scientologists did you see uh Tom Cruz got upset this week we are creating thousands of jobs you I don't ever want to see it again ever and if you don't do it you're fired and I see you do it again you're gone and anyone on This Crew does it that's it and you do and you do and you don't you ever do it again I actually saw this and it looked like it was going to be like a horrible rant and I'm thinking oh he's going to be an [ __ ] no man what he was yelling at was actually really good he was
absolutely justified in everything you said yeah but that's sort of one thing that's annoying me because all the headlin uh to me leading to he's just got off his rocker for something little done a Christian baale no no he hasn't it's going to go up there with the Christian baale r no it's not this is completely Justified no because also I imagine by the time he got to this he had told them time and time again guys I'm not going to ask nicely again put your [ __ ] masks on cuz I don't know I don't I've never met Tom Cruz but he seems very he seems very I know you have he seems very controlled in his in his in his uh temperament like have you seen that that interview with the Australian guy where he gets angry at him for because the guy keeps asking him about Nicole Kidman and
he gets angry at him but he doesn't but he's very controlled about it but Nicole was a major part of your life and a love of your life at the time I Lov Nick very much there's no question would you like Nicole to remarry yes I want Nicole to be happy that's what I want and do you have a relationship where you you talk it's a parenting relationship and talk professionally about each other's why don't we why listen here's the here's the thing Peter you're stepping over a line now you're stepping over a line you know you are I suppose there questions are people want to know Peter you want to know take resp responsibility for what you want to know don't say what other people this is a conversation that I'm having with you right now okay so I'm
just telling you right now okay just put your manners back in do you think I was out of line yes absolutely well I apologize for that since see I haven't seen that and you need to he just went off his head but and he to me he's completely justified in what he was doing like he's yeah saying you're putting thousands of people people's jobs at risk all having to make sacrifices for this like it's I tell you what I would not want I would not want Tom Cruz yelling at me ever yeah because he's he's singling people out he's like people are going to lose their jobs you you they're going to lose their jobs because of you and you two and you too and you mhm yeah but I did like how we sort of moved this back like it's not
just people here if this sh gets shut down because of you thousands of people everywhere will be out of work because cuz they'll yeah well and and not just that if if Productions get shut down other Productions are going to get shut down to just based on the Merit of others well that's one of the things he say is he's on the phone he's trying to convince all these you know the the money people that this is okay and it's safe and going to get sued I believe he also is officially the guarantor of this film that they're on yeah would surpris like it's his responsibility to look after the safety protocols the Ghost Protocol Tom yeah yeah so yep I'm Tom Cruz if you're gonna
yell at people for that go for it yep totally and if you want to call Luke and yell at him would you listen to Tom if he called you I'm I might listen to Tom if he gave me a call if I can sit down with Tom we can have a chat and I can explain what I want and when he can explain what he wants I want Nicole to be happy that's what I want okay Luke is a stickler for come with safe if Tom Cruz told Luke he had to wear a mask Luke would be wearing the mask there'd be no instance where Tom needs to be like put your [ __ ] mask on no not at all I want to wear a mask I if I had to wear a mask I would have so many awesome masks to pick from you could wear a mask anyway it's kind of colors different styles I don't know if it was The Masks either I think they were just
standing too close together a they were just both standing around one monitor SP into each other eyeballs I say just like that's that's you spread the virus is you stand you get too close to each other so still Justified but uh yeah there is one thing that is annoying about all these actors though and with the stuff they're filming cuz in Australia it's still people are still having trouble getting home but then actors are allowed to fly in still oh sure and then quarantine at their residences where other people have to quarantine at the a hotel it's like damn when you came back you would not be allowed to quarantine anywhere else apart from that hotel they took you to that you don't get pick but a lot of actors are coming in and then getting
quarantining their nice house up to the coast and all this you should have written actor on the form when you were coming you have written Tom Cruz as the name yeah and just y people together I do understand why they probably are getting bumped up the Leist it's not because they're celebrities it's because they're bringing work with them yeah and also CU they're they're beautiful people so just they're bringing work with them going but it just feels bad when you've got like a family tra somewhere that can't come back it's costing them a fortune and then you just got Tom Hanks flying in and going hey guys got Co Johnny Depp yeah that was his punishment lot of people come here to film stuff lot of people come here to get
Co which I don't understand you can get Co in America just walking down the street yeah if you want Co come here we got it actually it's pretty hard to get it here spare although it's in Sydney again we Trump's officially out there'll be no more Co I assume that's how it works he'll take it with him wherever he I mean you know you got to it's not Sanders I mean if you guys have voted in Sanders sers Sanders wouldn't stand for [ __ ] Co no or if he did he'd make sure everyone had it you know exactly an everybody everybody gets the same amount Australia gets like 86 cases and we shut borders and stuff not even that they they shut down the northern beaches cuz they were like 17 or something and I was like God 17 and honestly there's talk now about whether the whole state goes into
lockdown not if it does but whether it does before Christmas or after W yeah it's different different attitud Hannah end up moving her flight to head up to Brisbane so she's already gone right she's gone she got it she got the co and she's she's gone yeah for yourself I I'm at I'm working on call for the entire period I was thinking about maybe sneaking up to see my parents my family like for one day and dropping off presents but now if I was to do that when I got back I'd have to quarantine for two weeks are you going to leave are you going to leave your house anyway no God no I'm just at home not traveling anywhere but I know a lot of people are traveling still yeah oh well just I don't understand yeah
less of an issue there I guess than here but yeah people here are traveling around and we'll see how that goes cuz what's it like over there where you are at the moment because I know they went into lockdown or stricter restrictions ago we had uh we had the pause the Rhode Island pause which ends tomorrow so three weeks we've been like non-essential stuff supposed to have been shut down I mean look it's been fairly the same for me cuz like I've just I work at home now I've been at home I'm I'm actually off this week um so yeah you work for from home um Whole Foods just brings you food exactly Whole Foods is bringing me food today in fact so you know prob I notic that much but I think they probably they'll screw something up and then I'll I'll get free
food again yeah I mean bars have been Clos and that but I mean haven't been going to them because not an idiot right I I wasn't risking it so makes no difference to me I remember a few years ago I was watching Dragon's Den oh yeah this is going to sound like a very weird segue yeah I was talking about this show the other night go on but and one of the things that they came on to try and present to get funding for was basically a tub that sits at the front of your house that uh delivery drivers could scan put stuff in and then that way it's locked so it's s bit more secure and yeah they that should really take off now that should become a thing yeah I think that wasn't that the issue with them was they were
ugly I think right was that what complaining about they were ugly and going like oh there's not really that much of a need for it yeah now I wonder why it didn't take off oh there was just absolutely no need for it yeah well that's what I think you need to get a lot of people to buy in and take pick up on it for it to be useful cuz if you only got a handful of people a lot of services aren't going to sign up to use it because why bother I was talking about that show the other night and it was because someone was saying oh you know the successful products have been on there but I've actually only ever seen on YouTube the bad products CU mhm that's that really my morbid interest in that is just people going on there with the stupidest [ __ ] and them going you're
an idiot mate what is this what is this you don't know this I don't really watch I don't watch reality TV is this like Shark Tank yeah I've not seen that either but I understand the people go on with this stupid stupid thing and then go and we're asking for $50 million for a 1% sh company so I only watch the bad ones just because it's you know more interesting but and then you switch back to cakes that's right must must be cakes on somewhere as i' got 100 [ __ ] channels kids B I made ice cream guys I'm cream [ __ ] delicious uh dairy or non-dairy oh Dairy yeah oh okay it's going to be a problem that I can make ice cream at will yeah yeah and I can just put whatever the [ __ ] I
want in it like all right what did you put in it oh the first one is raspberry oh I made vanilla ice cream and then I made a raspberry kie and then I smooshed them together and it's [ __ ] delicious well while we're talking about the adult stuff we're doing now um yeah eating ice cream we grew we grew a tomato I saw I saw video yeah there's a [ __ ] tomato growing in my this is actually a serious question I want to know how would need to live live off well it's a good I mean what do you eat do you eat a lot of vegetables no but I'm thinking like you're proud that there's one tomato like that that that's like half half of a salad for one person yeah well look I
haven't been able to keep anything alive before so you know I'm just I'm just pleased with myself mate yeah yeah just getting started and I tell you man so I've got a front yard that's about six square met right and uh I've got to [ __ ] sweep the leaves out of that every godamn day and how many acres do you have in your property uh three yeah I feel you man I [ __ ] feel you so I got a big backpack leaf blower that sorts that out M yeah I got a leaf blower coming I just blast them all into the woods yeah I going to blast them just straight out my front gate into the road okay so I did some research to have one person a garden big enough to feed one
person on a vegetarian diet they need uh a space 24 M by 30 m jeez that's quite big that's a lot of veggies but that's a vegetarian look up someone who barely eats any vegetables and just gets up research I'm done how do you get a sub you need a pot yeah yeah yeah what breed of chickens do they use at KFC yeah oh it's there's no name for it Dan it's just it's called the Abomination yeah all the meat around the outside all the organs in the middle it's called Sonia yeah all right so I think before we get into our top picks for the year oh yeah Merry Christmas everybody it's literally Christmas Day I think when this comes out hey is forgot about that Merry
Christmas all that fun stuff but we have to talk about this the game that everyone is talking about cyber Punk yes I've been playing it and I'm loving it so so city project red came out and went like look if you're not happy with it go get refunds which they can't really tell people to get refunds from Sony and Microsoft cuz they've got their own policies yes and then they actually came out with a thing going look you can still go through the policy with Microsoft hold up on asking Sony for one we'll have some more news about that shortly yeah and Sony went as far as just pulling it from their store so you can no longer even buy it so son's argument is it's just not of merchantable quality yeah I guess well they said because of so many complaints from
customers they're like no we're not dealing with this [ __ ] so if you want to refund go get it so that's even on PS5 where it works you can't buy it any any well that's the thing you can't buy a PS5 copy of it right you can only buy a copy of the game you're right you're right you're right you're right it's yeah there is yeah and Microsoft has now also come out with like you want a refund just ask you will get it yeah and that's a huge thing for them to go look we're not even going to let you well look you've almost finished the game so you might as well just quickly finish it and then go and get your refund I did think about that but then I also don't want to do that because I want them to make games again in the future and this is this type of
thing can bankrupt this if this there's a good there's a chance that this could bankrupt them and that's it we never get a game from them ever again yeah don't want that because in Unfortunately they have kind of lied to investors yeah right which is a big problem cuz investors they asked about how it runs on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One they went yep it runs fine on them MH if you just look away every time there's a fight sequence apparently not the case Matt I watched that trailer that you told me about where they remake the trailer with the [ __ ] glitches [ __ ] hell man that was all ingame stuff that literally almost convinced me not to play the the game at all and then I had I had to go back and watch the real trailer again to remind myself get on the Xbox series X
there's a few bugs but nothing more than you'd get in a Bethesda game exactly I've had I've had some visual glitches I've had a couple of cases where I'm like oh the UI stopped appearing so I just do a quick save load and that fixes it little odds I had a few times where I wasn't able to hear people talking to me so yeah just reload and fine again yeah so I've actually thinking what they should have done a couple of years ago was announc this was just a next gen game yeah yeah and just not worried about trying to get this running on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One just going it's next gen and be that if they had have done that I don't think I think we'd be fine now I think it's might be a case of I mean I mean I don't want to give sound like I'm like you know in
love with city project red even though I am but I feel like they they probably felt like you know they proom they announced this what 2012 and it was supposed to be an Xbox play Xbox One PlayStation 4 game like I feel like I don't know it's a bit [ __ ] to then at the last minute go nah next gen well that that's what I'm saying like not even like not now but maybe two years ago have gone yeah look this is going to be next year and people would have been upset two years ago they would have forgotten about that by now yeah probably true and we wouldn't be having this conversation about them having to pull it from the [ __ ] store well that and [ __ ] idiots on um Twitter and and Facebook complaining that yelling at Microsoft saying I got a refund but now
I can't play the game anymore cuz they're like people weird entitled idiots who don't understand no you get get a refund you don't have the product anymore mate like that's not you just get your money back yeah yeah people were getting mad about it like no I just don't want to pay for it I still want to play it yeah I love the game don't get me wrong I [ __ ] love this game I just want my refund that I'm entitled to for some reason pissed me off look I I say we are lucky because we did get Xbox series X's to play it on and and it's [ __ ] great like yeah I enjoying it it's a really good game I'm really enjoying it I will be finishing after this podcast I'm I'm already I'm finished the last mission this I'm just in a tidy up sort
of epilog type thing and then I'll get the finished game Achi how many play I think now one of the testers said they were like only 75% through and had like 175 hours in the game I'm maybe 50 to 60 hours in okay and have you been focusing solely on the main story or have you no no the main story is actually quite short okay I got a shock about how quickly that appeared so you cleaned up the map is that what you're saying I've cleaned up the map I've done every single side quest I've done every single gang related activity w wow and and now I'm just up to yeah just finishing game then I have to like replay the last sort of hour hour and a half or so three more times to get all the achievements which that annoys me but no it was a good game but yeah
like this is they're doing for an interesting next few years because they're not going to get the investors backing them this time for their next game they're going to have to rebuild that that name that trust yeah well I still don't have my [ __ ] television uh so I haven't bought it yet you know where it is yet I do know where it is it's in Melbourne right but as we've discussed off air things aren't getting from Melbourne to New South Wales right now right so anyone's [ __ ] guess it's also the worst time of year to move anything now CU it's Christmas yeah yeah and it's not coming before Christmas clearly clearly I don't know you still got a few more days you never know you never know well I mean I assume they would have told me by now but but who
knows um but my point is by the time I get my TV in my sofa and I hook up my Xbox is probably going to be patched a little it's already been patched a bunch of times I've seen less issues every patch so and and I'm hoping I'm hoping this will be like remember when no man's Sky came out and I know it was a little different don't WR in I know I know no man sky was just in which time yeah but no man's sky has gone on to become a huge success in my opinion like it's a really great fun game and so hopefully that'll happen here and they can they get on top of it also the developers have are really pissed about the whole thing too because they told the suits it's not ready and the suits were like it's coming out now M so because there's no way yeah the devs would have been
going yeah ship it it's fine no it's like we said that there's no way the testers were like nah I can't find a single it mate no they were told and they said no it's shipping it anyway yeah I tell you what happened they said what is the total figure of money that we would lose by holding it back and what is the total number figure of what we would lose in refunds if we put it out and some people weren't happy which of those number is smaller okay we're putting it out yeah I think they got those numbers wrong and now they're discovering okay what happens if he gets pulled from the [ __ ] PlayStation so we're not selling any of them yeah that's a problem so L You' enjoyed it quite a bit Matt you seem to be enjoyed
it would either of you say it's your game of the year no I wouldn't say it's my game it depends it depends on the on the parameters I want to say one more thing on the bugs cuz did say last week that there were no gamebreaking bugs there is a game breaking bug so be careful playing cyber Punk at the moment if you save game gets too large like over 8 megabytes it becomes corrupt and you cannot load your game anymore so be careful save often create different saves yes apparently crafting is the thing that [ __ ] this up if you craft too much [ __ ] apparently for some reason it blows the save file up so just maybe don't craft too much [ __ ] you so just watch that that's the only
real gamebreaking one that was and only that and just again be really careful because city project red said that it once it gets corrupt they can't fix it so like they'll they'll patch they'll patch the problem but if your save game gets affected it's [ __ ] for a while now I've been quite good with my save games in games like this where I'd only have one or two I've gone back to my old like o of having like 20 I ran out of slots so every time I go to save manually I scroll to the bottom and I replace the bottom and I have like like a big list of them cuz if I have to go back I don't want to have to go back exactly to started a game but no I I so if we're going to talk about our game of year so just perimeter being game release this year
yeah yeah see that changes a couple things for me oh is that I thought it was just what games we have played this year that we would put up as our game of the year no I thought we ended on or I think we discussed it and didn't they finish the conversation I think for us to have the best of 2020 it should be something that came out in 2020 right what do we think well I've got two options one is if if I've got to pick a game this I mean if I've got to pick a game that came out this year yeah it is cyber Punk okay but I mean that's I've not played a whole lot of other games that came out this year yeah I was playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey which definitely did not come out this
year so so I'm going to guess if it was out this year cyber Punk 2020 if it's or 2077 but assassin crew do hly okay no no no assassin cre Odyssey was not going to be my pick if it was uh I was going to say disco alium would be my game of the year if if I could pick one that came out last year I keep forgetting how old that game is I'm going to cheat a little bit on the movie thing as well well I'm going to cheat the whole time because I totally misunderstood the rules I thought it was just what game we played this year that we want a nominate so I've got um with all my categories I've got one winner and one runner up mhm so for game I've got actually
cheated twice and I've got I've got two Runners up but if we're going by the they came none of these games are 2020 titles look let's just go how do you have two oh you mean you got a winner and two runner UPS sorry I thought you bet you had two runner-ups and no winner and I was confused no i s Assassin's Creed Odyssey as a runner up it's a couple of years old now so you know that was never going to be in there but I only played it this year um as we've discussed at nauseum but uh love it love it we'll be playing it again once I get my [ __ ] television my only complaint with Assassin's Creed Odyssey is just it's so [ __ ] big that I it's like a little overwhelming and I'm never going to finish it it feels like it's just such a
huge game yeah I'm kind of okay with that I might just play this forever you know yeah no no no it's it's great yeah just if you enjoy it why not uh my other runner up uh is a game that I don't enjoy but I've played many many times and not enjoyed it each time and that is this war of mine oh because it's an amazing game it's an amazing game it just makes you want to kill yourself no a lot of games could do that but my game of the year is Disco elesium and I know it's a 2019 title but it was released in October of 2019 no one knew about it until it won the 2020 game Award for best writing and then uh so it's a 2020 game as far as I'm concerned and uh I played it three times I played it twice through and then once on hardcore mode and I'll play it again
once the new content comes out I still really look forward to next year where I will get to play that game M it's just play it now on the [ __ ] game boy like as as much as I like cyber Punk like cyber Punk is you know it's an open world RPG disco eum there's nothing like it no it's it's a very if you go to a Reddit and you type it like you you just forms of people go on what other games are like this and there aren any none there like plcape torment comes up a lot plcape torment maybe boulderscape that's it he plays all games no no that's fair but it's nothing I don't play L just Luke just sees the game mechanic he doesn't see the the horror attached to it he's like what are you talking about yeah but I just like that
sort of like you you play as the monster trying to escape this lab and yeah that was fun and the controls are fun with that too where you grab stuff and fling it around and it's a good game so yeah that one is mine very good all right this next one are you do you have to pick like an ultimate Winner Is that how this works or are we just going to go I think I was just doing that for the geek of the week wasn't I all right all right I think this one is just let's talk about our favorite stuff y that works works for me what do you want to talk about next so well movies yes this one I actually had a hard time with cuz I didn't really see that many movies isue but then when I actually thought about it there was one I saw I went to the movies and saw and I really enjoyed was
Bill and head mhm yeah mhm I considered that I considered that well you you didn't pick tenant Luke weird yeah imagine that that was my runner up Bill anded was great it was a it was a a great fun little romp like it was kind of what what we all needed yeah the only thing I didn't like about it was just the ending wasn't strong for me the ending was totally agree surprisingly weak wasn't it yeah M cuz like the other movies all had like that that great song and it's yeah that this one was just uh here's some sound playing that everyone in space and time is playing at the same time just just accept it which I can accept the premise of it but not I didn't like the music the uh yeah the execution yeah but that would be my it
was just suddenly over movie well I am I I I guess I'm sort of I'm cheating a little bit with my movie of the year I saw it at the movies this year so I think it counts came out The Empire Strikes Back no it came out technically uh November last year um yeah but it took a little while to get distribution I think because it's a little uh little indie film by the name of JoJo rabbit that is my for movie of the year I still have to go see that just a [ __ ] great movie Very hilariously funny and touching and uh and poignant it's just great nice work I'm quite happy that they're giving him a Star Wars movie to go play with yeah
he's he's just great yeah he is great yeah yeah great Storyteller everything he does yeah MH funny dude very genuine and like he's got that thing where he's like he's just I mean I hope he's nice in real life cuz he he certainly sells being nice and just like yeah everything he does is like kind of wholesome in a way he made a movie where he plays Hitler and he's it's kind of and it was lovely yeah it was lovely it was a lovely movie about kids and friendship right like and it's sad and horrible things happen in it but you don't walk out of there going oh gross it's just like it's just it's hopeful everything he does is kind of hopeful yeah good movie joj rabbit great movie if you haven't seen it honestly check it out listens it's great yeah and
Dan what did you come up with so likewise I've got a I've got an honorable mention and then and then an ultimate winner um my honorable mention as tenant um yeah there weren't a lot of movies that came out this year that's yeah so it was a it was a tricky one um and in fact I I I really had to think about I really had to think about what I'd seen this year that that came out this year and and I couldn't I couldn't think of many ten it's my honorable mention I'm going to I'm going to go out on a limb and and pick one for my number one movie of the year that I know neither of you have seen and I know this is going to sound awfully pretentious but this movie has not been released this movie was something that I watched Le wank
when I was uh when I was um adjudicating put these socks in your slam dance um and I championed this movie with all my might and it still didn't get in so not only is it not distributed it's also not in the festival that I put it in but it's a movie called 975 which is a Turkish movie just just while I'm piling on the [ __ ] wanky Art House [ __ ] damn crap but honestly this movie is about and a guy who's our AG he's exactly our age he's 40 right he drinks too much he lives alone he's trying to hold together every relationship he's ever had um outside his apartment most of the movies sit kind of in his apartment and outside the whole City's riding is this is big
kind of uprise um he's just found out that he's got terminal cancer and that he's going to die soon and so his mind starts going back to when he was in the Army in the '90s and he shot and killed a little boy and this movie made me laugh made me cry made me [ __ ] weep you may never see this this may never come out but this is right like to choose any movie this year that was better than that would be lying to myself and you right 975 mhm yeah all right 975 is the the length n n 9.75 cm is the length of the scar on his face that he got in the war seek it out that you never see seek it out you won't you can't but there is a a pretty cool little teaser trailer
that we can put on the socials all right seek it out anyway maybe it'll come out at some point I don't I don't think it's a movie for me probably not oh might be you never know it might be it's a good movie if it's better than 10 it I got an honorable men throw in throw into the ring that I know is probably I don't know I know Dan's seen it I'm not sure he liked it as much as I did but I like to Colorado of space came out this year bit of funas so few movies came out this year considered that one too I really liked that movie good school it took me a couple of time to get into it but I concur it's it's pretty good it's definitely fun beautiful had a good score it took some liberties with them sour mature but it had to cuz how do you describe a color
how do you show something that exist purple according to the color color that we've never seen before it's Richard Stanley y that it was a fun movie yeah all right so we have one more category this one I found very easy oh okay so easy this one so oh tell can I guess can I guess can I guess yours Luke I don't think you even have to guess I think you just know what it is so for me it was a Mandalorian really cuz you've been [ __ ] on the Mandalorian lately I wasn't going to pick that that wasn't going to be my guess oh really yeah really what did you I thought you were going to say noran cuz you [ __ ] Champion the [ __ ] out of that all year yeah crap I forgot they released that at the beginning the season 3 at the beginning of the year that a good I
think I still I that would be my honor rule mentioned I'd have to give it to Mandalorian though yeahh now look Mandalorian the last episode tears which we won't discuss I mean we can't talk about that this week yeah but no I know [ __ ] hell just done so well and to keep that a secret for so long yeah yeah kudos for that man kudos but look I I don't know I just have to give it's the Star Wars that for most part it's a Star Wars that I love Yeah listeners what this means is that season 2 episode 8 was so good in L that it canceled out the three previous episodes that Luke has not enjoyed at all he's been ranting about on [ __ ] how [ __ ] good it is and it is it is but also baby Yoda like I just love him like when he's throwing the Storm Troopers
around that's not his name got and then got sleepy and had to have a little nap and then but he's and then's like he'll need a nap he stole like the little blue cookies and then when he's Flo speci he's go yay and then he got sick afterwards cuz he had an upset Tommy yeah yeah he's Groot he sure is the same as Groot sometimes they know how that works y yeah God baby has made them a lot of money has a name Luke say his name he doesn't no I refuse to call him Gru such an odd choice is such a weird word I know but they I don't know what they could have picked they could at least his name the of that article that said that his the uh favro favro confirmed his name's
always been grou oh yeah since he was born yeah that's how names work mate just a weird way to say you you just didn't know it mate none of us knew John faf's name before [ __ ] swingers came out that's right but that was always his name yeah oh Iron Man in my case don't but look at least they got away from all at least they got away from it having to be a name that starts with why yes that's what I was waiting for oh yeah I agree I agree yeah thankfully all right so Mandalorian Mandalorian for me Dan what's your favorite T show this year I've got an honorable mention mhm mhm Mythic Quest oh yeah left that off [ __ ] that was a great show that's my
honorable that's the only show this year that I actually watched all the way through twice so [ __ ] enjoyable yeah so [ __ ] enjoyable super solid but my favorite show of the year was devs oh okay you know I left that off as well [ __ ] me yeah that was a great show and I had to really think about this because actually while this has been a slow year for film this has been a [ __ ] Stell year for TV and Luke I can see you googling if you tell me that came out last year whatever I don't care I no I'm not not for that I actually I'm not I'm not calling people out for that I'm actually just trying to see what it is this is very good man get on that [ __ ] Alex Garland's show Alex

it's not the type of thing that I would really watch oh okay I haven't finished it I'm still only about halfway through but I'm enjoying it I enjoyed it very much but I'm finding it hard to get back into I must admit not because it's no good but just because I'm out and it's you got other things to do a while get we just we just watched the whole thing through like over over like a week so that's the way to do it I think yeah no I really enjoyed that and it surprised me and yeah so I'm giving that a runner up I think my number one pick uh is love craft country because oh I forgot about that because it's just got all the stuff I like in it it's just good and it touches it goes places I did not expect
and that I I mean I did not expect any TV show to go certain some of the places this show [ __ ] went and uh I just thought it was really great love craf and horror mixed with [ __ ] sci-fi Camp [ __ ] black lives matter yes that's what well that's all that stuff you know great it's [ __ ] it's excellent It's just excellent loved it all right so I think that's all we I think that's it so now everyone knows our best off for the use well there was one more category Luke that you wanted us to uh yes this one I am going to decide on so you're you're not submitting anybody is that right we've got a last minute entry cover the last minute entry in the uh I think we should
should so this week famed actor star of the Great television show star hike passed away Jeremy Bullock so he's uh they saying he's Boba Fett but I mean I I just saw Boba Fett the other day yeah Boba F yeah Jeremy Bullock was murdered by the mouse was he people were going yep Mickey Mouse took him out because people were watching the Mandalorian going that's not mandal that's not Boba Fett Boba Fett's Jeremy bulock and so Mickey Mouse took him out to any confusion mhm you're done [ __ ] up Jeremy ha Jeremy was the first you never crawled out of the S pit I remember
meeting him back in 1994 yeah and he was a really nice guy back then and then I decided after he found out passed away I decided to sit down again and watch star hike what the [ __ ] star hike don't know what starik is L star hike if you watch it it's on Amazon Prime oh okay if you look at it looks like terrible it looks like a terrible Sci-Fi show from the '90s it was actually made in 2009 what is this go the only thing that comes up is a particular brand of Converse sneaker yeah I'm looking star hike TV show I can't even find it oh it's hike with a Y it's hike with a y y some Reon yeah for 2011 this came out there only six episodes oh that good is
it and yeah it's it's it's something here's a description Nemesis a ship commanded by Captain Belinda bloard s out to destroy an alien race called the nepd who plan to unleash a biological weapon that could reawaken all human emotion all right so the whole story is yeah that's the reptiles are going back to that of course they were chasing them to a time slip uh time times hole or whatever what I forget the actual wording but because that happens they get emotions overboard and that causes them to go a bit crazy stay out of my time watch it go and watch it I'm going to mate fantastic Jeremy Bullock plays a character called Yu Striker a y Striker I'm looking at all the photos of this and it's like there there's two guys and it's just a bunch of hot chicks
cast the show like like who just [ __ ] sexy ladies in Space the claudy Christensen the one who plays blind Blart she was Aranda Susan aanova from Babylon 5 that's how I stumbled across it Jeremy bulock was in it they' taking all the boxes too cuz there's like this the sexy brunette there's the sexy blonde there's the sexually Asian girl it's like the sugar babes but science fiction there's the Shaded manic pixie dream girl blonde there yeah yeah you got them all I think there's no women of color though what they what they were trying to do with this show was become another Lex oh [ __ ] remember that that's what I really honestly think they were aiming for what an Abomination show Lex got four
seasons yeah no thanks why' you have to remind me of that this is what they were aiming to become yeah I think I'm going to have to watch Lex again now I don't know about that man but look the episode there's six episodes they go for about 20 minutes each you can knock it out in an afternoon and just come back next week and tell me what you think cuz as terrible as it is I kind of like it did you say this is available somewhere to watch Amazon Amazon Prime Prime video all right looks like we got some homework Matt yeah apparently so yeah watch this and D Bullock is my geek of the week cuz he was a the original Bob Bob Fett he also played two roles in Empire Strikes Back did he so he played Boba Fett but he also played
the Imperial officer that um was taking Princess Leia so he he's the officer actually uses her as a human shield a nice week nice but yeah so that's geek of the week this week but yeah and he famously said put Captain Cargo in the solo hold yes in uh and apparently no one caught that and it made it into the film or I'm not sure exactly how that anecdote goes cuz it got fixed pretty quickly but how quickly like I mean well I'm I'm not sure whether it actually ever made it into theaters I like although people I think I've read people because I've looked for it in the film and it's not in the film like he says put Captain Solo in the
cargo hold so I don't know if also not on is not on the old VHS tapes or anything like that I have a feeling it's maybe just set it on set I think it's just an anecdote from him or maybe he just set it on set but I think growing up I thought it was in the film at some point it's just an anecdote that's the first time I've ever heard it would be on YouTube edits not no look Google oh I believe you that it's a I just don't necessarily believe it exists okay it also would have been what they filmed it would have been what the audio he recorded later okay no i' let's looked that it was in he he addressed it in his AMA that he did on Reddit a few years back and he said that he said it um because he's got the helmet on though they
dubbed the audio and it never made into the film he said put Captain Caro in the solo hold yeah but it's not like anyone can hear him with that mask on anyways so yeah so Jeremy Bullock geek of the week geek of the week but but is he geek of is here yeah all right so you're going to come and put forward a couple of people who you think should be geek of the Year all right mhh all right um do you each have one or do you have a couple I I've got two that I'd like to submit for your approval all right Matt you can start with your first one all right my first pick I'm going to nomin eight personal personal favorite person who died sounds weird to say any maricone I'm going to Marone I know you're not going to pick him Luke but I would I would I feel like I've got to
submit him anyway he iconic who who is he what he he he's a fum composer I just saw the look of disgust in your face what's that I just saw the look of disgust in your face I just asked that question Luke do you remember I'll just give you anecdote remember when we were in Paris and Matt was holding tightly to a record he found at the flea market and uh was lamenting the fact that he couldn't get it back in his suitcase that was an anyo moricone record okay so he he's a musician of some sort yeah he's a composer he's a film composer he very very famous very prolific film composer um he did all The Good the Bad and the Ugly all the all the serilon Western so the you know okay and some le nonwestern as well yes right and well and a lot of other stuff he did
the thing the John Carpenter mhm um film the thing and he did the hateful eight most recently maybe not most recently but he did that recently if I did this Luke you know what you recognize this you recognize this Luke recognize that I know that that's him that's him okay that that's okay so he's my he's my submission I know you won't pick him but I had to submit him anyway no you don't know at the moment he's leading all right I got his I got his book right there actually on the Shelf all right now I get Dan okay I've got two as well um and they're both they're both deaths that we have reported on this show so I'm not I'm not cheating you can talk about one now I'm doing one to one yeah yeah I'll do one
next but but there's a link there's a link ah um oh he came with visual aids no no no sorry I mean there's a link between the two no they died of normal visual been on visual aids wow [ __ ] your AIDS is spectacular AIDS of the eyeball Jesus no I've got uh I've got two non-human deaths that were the saddest for me because I'm an animal oh yeah so um they they were both geek of the week so um I feel they qualify the first one is the seaotter who can suck his own dick what a legend and now he's he's sucking dick inen and did died doing what he
loved mhm he was 20 years old when he died and you know that were 20 good old otter I believe it is I think that was also old forter I believe he lived a good life with all the Creature Comforts of a creature we all know what the secret to his long life was and we all to get in on that yeah ingesting more life on a daily basis he's he was he was much like Renfield from from Dr yes yes but instead of small insects he was just sucking his own dick unless I okay unless I was meant to read that into the stoker I didn't quite that's why they put him in the mental institution yeah that your second one my second uh I want to submit Chadwick
Bosman for Geek of the year because I feel that he [ __ ] managed to do how how many [ __ ] movies did he do and no one even knew he was dying of cancer yeah he was literally on death door doing [ __ ] in Avengers end game like un going through the treatment that he was going through and keeping himself that fit and active and keeping that going is an amazing thing quite an inspiration and especially I I just I think probably it sounds weird because you know they're Marvel movies but I think he really probably touched a lot of people and did a lot of good in the world you know for so not a bad touch no not The Bad Touch I think he's just been he's very inspirational you know especially forties that don't have a lot of
superhero in the had in the past he's been he's been an inspiration I think he's and I didn't realize that until after the fact too because you know I thought okay there's you know black panther it's it was a great movie you know I really enjoyed it but if if you watch YouTubers like black YouTubers talking about yeah that movie it means so [ __ ] much to them yeah the spiderverse is the same in that way yes yes y y in fact a friend who who was raving about into the spiderverse before i' even seen it in fact it was on her recommendation that I watched it cuz she was saying my [ __ ] kids can watch a Spider-Man with the same skin color as him and we take that for granted cuz they they all look like us they all have well yeah yeah B I
want yeah I think I think I think he probably deserves it I mean it seems odd because I mean he was just an actor but i' I don't know I think as a as a as an inspiration I think he uh he's he's a good pick well my second pick is an inspiration too uh in a way um this year marked the death of satin the Mississippi alligator beloved pet 21 Adolf Hitler oh oh that's sad who survived the bombing of uh uh Germany Europe Germany yeah ber and uh and lived out his life in the Moscow zoo I Leed pass away this year at the age of 80 a not 90 that's a shame all right I'm prepared to give my give it now just gonna give it to jery I was just gonna give it to Jeremy
bulock I thought you may have gone but I think you g give Jeremy do you like Jeremy you like David PR Jeremy Bullock more than you like Hitler's pet alligator I like Jeremy bulock more than I like David yeah right I can say I mean no I say that now that they're both dead yeah now they're battling it out in heaven no I think Jeremy bulock did a lot more than David PR did yeah he didn't do a lot more for spoiling I was to say David David PR was literally the Green Cross man and stood for children's Jeremy bulock and he was a very nice man I met David PR was a very nice man when you've said Chadwick I've gone that I'm going to have to give him his geek of the Year chadrick Bosman geek of the
year yeah GE all the [Music] year of the [Applause] year that's uh yeah to go through what he did and being a sick because I've been through that treatment it doesn't make you feel great no I bet mhm mhm mhm and for him to just to keep powering on to just to cuz I find it you know like the the the routines that they go through anyway like Chris Evans and and you know all the Chris's and uh and the other people in those films [ __ ] that like oh yeah you mean they like fitness routines yeah the diet and the and the fitness routine like like even even without cancer [ __ ] that but then to be
doing both is just unbelievable actually you know what that's another thing that David prous did that we have never talked about David prow trained Christopher reev for his role in Superman oh sure yeah because Christopher ree originally the studio was just going to put him in a muscle suit and he was like no [ __ ] that I'm going to get muscular and so he got thank God because would you really call him muscular in I mean he's 70s muscular yeah yeah yeah like Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones that's what that's what like muscular men like that's right yeah oh mate don't I'd still aim for that I've never got never got like a normal person yeah now
it's all like the gut the guts not that big that's what I'm talking about though they've all got to pull off this [ __ ] like basically impossible probably cheating a little bit look they say they're not cheating but they probably are don't don't sue me why aren't they why aren't they allowed to cheat it's not like they're competing in a sport or anything let him cheat no no I'm just saying I just if you can do it naturally do what you got to do it's just a lot more effort than I'm willing to put into that let's be honest yeah M just goes they were paying me that I'd make some sacrifices do you reckon you could end up you look like Chris Hemsworth if you if you put your mind to it Luke yeah yeah if I had someone decide what they eat train yeah I had all that support that
he gets for it easily is he our age or is he younger than us he might be younger than us I think he's I think everyone's younger than us now I think uh we're at that stage age where yeah everyone he's 37 he's he's a bit younger yeah yeah we're just getting to that horrible part of life where everyone you see that's sort of doing this amazing stuff is now younger than yeah yeah yes quite a lot younger so people if you agree with us let us know if you disagree and think someone else should have been geeking a year tell us off we may have just forgotten somebody podcast at multipl nerdgasm tocom right in tell us how we [ __ ] up wish us Merry Christmas wrap your little wrap your dick in a bow and send a pick to [ __ ] for at Snapchat
yep doesn't even have to be dicks I will take just a picture of your cat or your dog if there's a dick somewhere in the photo yeah Luke gets doesn't even have to be the FOC just send him a photo something he's probably going to jerk off to it yeah that is a thing could be anything but it's my thing and you can't call me on it is it Jeremy book's mustache that you liked as Boba Fett perhaps were you disappointed when they showed Boba Fett in the prequels and he didn't have a mustache like Jeremy Bullock thought I mean I was definitely disappointed when I saw POA fet the prequels Matt don't get me wrong but it wasn't because he didn't have a mustache yeah well you do you mean jeno fed no no Bob Fett was in him as well yeah but he was a small child yeah could have had a
mustache yeah you didn't see his entire body you he had like a clone of himself as a mustache that' be was a Twist that still made no sense where oh part of the the things I want him to do for you're going to clone me to make this Army is I want to raise one as my child that makes no sense yeah why would you do that hey we're going to make some clones of you yeah that's fine um I want one can I have one why raise it as a child I'm going to raise it as my child child okay why don't you just have a child Bounty Hunter I live a dangerous life yeah exact exactly I could set you up I got friends my wife's friends they could take you out we could find someone no you want to
your cloner yourself okay just exactly you all right uh this I this is not really a spoiler for the last episode CU they' we've already seen the robots wasn't the whole point of the Clones that the robots sucked and there's a line somebody say much better robots yeah I know but there's a line that somebody says that in the in the new like it's not really a spoiler because it's not part of the plot but someone says oh the the human element was the weak link and I'm like well that's the opposite of what to be establish for trying to establish so what I think trying to show is there's a pattern where things are starting to repeat itself again yeah yeah yeah okay all right it'ss to clones to drafting all this has happened it was
a bit Battle Star and I must say I think the makers of that show thought the dark dark troopers were a little bit cooler than they actually were yeah like the [ __ ] angles they showed them the [ __ ] music that kicked in whenever they were on screen it's like this is not as cool as you you think it is MH like dudes in Black stormtrooper armor that's cool black syons yeah but yeah that was just the impression I like it it's just trying to show how things are repeating they're going to go back to the robots as being that's what we need to keep Laur in order and yeah right okay control I just maybe there's going to be more clones coming then but if yeah well that's what I mean like CU if you look at the the
new season movies weren't clones but they did mention clones as part of it but what they started doing now was grabbing children and then training them from a very young age up but he they did mention clones in one of them didn't they yeah I think in the awakens when they were talking about yeah they did talk about clones at some point I don't remember but yeah so we're we're in so what came at the end of this week's menal which I don't think this is a spoiler but they've announced another show yes they have Well it can't be come out and made so they've come out and made it very clear that season 3 of the Mandalorian is not the story of Boba Fett they are two separate shows that are going to be coming out next year yes Boba fed the
book of boba it's called which is a terrible name yeah I think because it's not a book it's it's a show yeah I'll get used to it I'm sure but uh one of them I'm looking forward to the other I am not M the book bit you looking forward to the book I can't read can't read never learned why would you not going to start now you can read Star Wars books I've seen you I've seen you read them you've got to learn to read so that you can [ __ ] read the subtitles on the Turkish movie I [ __ ] recommend it to you I can't even read Star Wars books anymore I've tried I've forgotten what all the words like well that's good because [ __ ] alen Dean Foster is not getting any money even if you do yeah don't read yeah because yeah we didn't
buy your your contracts we just brought the property that you made us yeah and Allen Dean Foster's bank account is geek of the year it's not like they would have talking about millions of dollars he would be making no it's a [ __ ] riters [ __ ] salary yeah yeah like they're not selling that many copies spinter of the Mind's Eye in Star Wars anymore he's not stepen King but who is or JK rling but who is who wants to be JK rling these days oh JK rling transgender you know what you know what for the for the money she's got I probably would just be like yeah fine I'll be her yeah oh Wizards and oh I don't like your dick yeah people going to be mad at me how much money yeah yeah I'll probably be fine I'll just delete Twitter off my phone
problem canell yeah delete it here's a tip for for people like JK ring and other celebrities who want to pop on and tell people what they think they should be doing with their bits uh just delete Twitter stop telling people what to do with their with their bodies and their lives just don't worry about it mhh unless it's something that actually impacts you why bother about it also the person who lives in my complex who um toss my rubbish back over my fence and had written on it each unit only gets half a bin per fortnite um [ __ ] you wait what that happened yeah that happened today a been a fortnite measured it did he do do the bins have like no particular units or anything that I just
watch they' watching me yeah oh that's fine not not the first time not the first time that's fun that's why I don't have neighbors yeah yeah well they're there but I keep them at a safe distance M with a shotgun that's right stay off my [ __ ] that living next to someone like that I couldn't do it well I don't know who it is too cuz I'm I'm in a row townhouses so it could be could be my next door neighbor or could be someone I've never met I don't know I thought about trying to escalate it but there's nothing you can the only thing you can do is you can bring it up at your strata meeting when that comes around yeah I thought about that too and then I thought about more also requires the effort I decided I don't care enough whatever I feel like somebody who's
willing to do that is going to be a pain in the ass yeah yeah yeah there's no point in escalating cuz whatever you can do yeah obvious they're obviously they're up for it so yeah exactly exactly right and not only that they're clearly not going to be shy you know and exactly they probably aren't going to be as emotional about it as I will eventually inevitably get MH yeah they took your trash out of the of and returned it to you ande no time back to my house I consider that escalation they could have started with a note there was passive it was attached to the garage written on the [ __ ] yeah that's what I'm saying start with the note perhaps
start with a not and then yeah just a note tied to a brick through the window start with mining your own [ __ ] business yeah that's begin there let's begin there yeah like I just a question are all of your bins overflowing every week I mean mostly yeah to be completely honest there probably aren't enough be but it's not all my [ __ ] like half the time I go out to the bin there's not enough [ __ ] room there and you know I got to squish something down like that's that's just how bins work yeah when you share bins with your neighbors that's what you got to do you're right though it's cuz it's not like you write you you mark the bags with your address or anything they must have watched you and watched you return to the house that you live in and been like that's the house
