00:00SPEAKERIt occurs to me that I have maybe a weird relationship with email and spam.
00:03SPEAKERYeah. Wait, well, you may like it, but how could anybody's
00:07SPEAKERrelationship with spam be anything but unequivocally positive?
00:10SPEAKERI mean, there's, you know, there's the low sodium variety.
00:13SPEAKERThey've got jalapeno.
00:14SPEAKERThere's like one with cheese now.
00:15SPEAKERI think like that that that chorizo one is real good.
00:19SPEAKERAnd the bacon one, there's chorizo spam.
00:22SPEAKEROh, yeah. The trees are always delicious.
00:24SPEAKERThe bacon spam like a spam was a musubi with the bacon spam.
00:28SPEAKEROh, yeah. I'm not talking about good spam, though.
00:30SPEAKERI'm talking about bad spam.
00:31SPEAKEROh, the unwanted spam.
00:34SPEAKERSo look, I got early access to Gmail
00:38SPEAKERin like 2003 after April Fool's when they announced it.
00:41SPEAKERAnd I signed up for my first name and my last name at Gmail dot com.
00:46SPEAKEROK, and a lot of times it turns out when people don't want to.
00:50SPEAKERHuh? Yeah. OK, I just sorry, my hackles were just raised
00:54SPEAKERwhen you said your email address out loud on this podcast.
00:56SPEAKERBut it's like that email address got burned a long time ago.
01:00SPEAKERIt's not a secret, Brad.
01:01SPEAKERI mean, it was briefly, but there's no secret there.
01:04SPEAKERAnd OK, the volume of people who don't know who I am,
01:08SPEAKERwho use that as a way to not be bothered with email.
01:11SPEAKERSo like I get people's people sign up for like vaccine notifications
01:16SPEAKERand their vaccine appointments, and they put my email address in
01:18SPEAKERbecause they don't want to be bothered with spam about the vaccine
01:20SPEAKERthat they want to get so they can leave their house.
01:23SPEAKERThat sounds a bit counterproductive on their end, but OK,
01:25SPEAKERthey sign up for insurance quotes.
01:28SPEAKERThey sign up for car sale quotes.
01:30SPEAKERThey sign up for house evaluations for selling their house.
01:33SPEAKERBasically, anytime there's some people in the world who anytime they see a form,
01:38SPEAKERincluding like the time sheet form for their job.
01:42SPEAKERAnd they don't want to be bothered with those emails.
01:43SPEAKERThey just put in somebody random's name.
01:46SPEAKERI'm making a face here.
01:48SPEAKERI feel like there's like that's maybe a bit of a shotgun approach
01:51SPEAKERto the subject that is a little bit self-defeating.
01:55SPEAKERLike me, it's bad.
01:58SPEAKERSome email forms are good and useful is what I'm trying to say.
02:01SPEAKERLike perhaps apply a little bit of critical thinking about
02:03SPEAKERwhen you should use your actual email or not.
02:05SPEAKERFor example, when you were going to get paid.
02:08SPEAKERYeah, well, there's a guy in Portland who signed up for cable
02:11SPEAKERabout 10 years ago and his bills come to me. Wow.
02:15SPEAKERSame providers for I had for a long time, so I couldn't filter them.
02:19SPEAKERIt turns out if you sign up for a Walgreens account
02:22SPEAKERwith somebody else's email address,
02:24SPEAKERthat person can't turn off that account
02:26SPEAKERbecause they have to have the personally identifiable information
02:29SPEAKERin order to steal access.
02:31SPEAKERSo like usually my strategy is when somebody signs up for an account
02:33SPEAKERon something that I actually want with my email addresses,
02:36SPEAKERI just forgot password, log into the account
02:40SPEAKERand then delete the account or change the email address. Right.
02:43SPEAKERHijack, hijack the account.
02:45SPEAKERMy account, they use my email.
02:46SPEAKERWhat's they use my account?
02:47SPEAKERIt's mine. What's they use my email? It's mine.
02:49SPEAKERCommentary for your own purposes.
02:50SPEAKERDo you ever I mean, occasionally once in a while,
02:53SPEAKERI assume other people get this like you'll get an innocent one, right?
02:56SPEAKERWhere somebody like somebody with the same name, like they got,
02:59SPEAKERyou know, that somebody types the email address in with like the wrong prefix
03:02SPEAKERor like, you know, it fell back to you because you actually have
03:06SPEAKERthe same name as them and they just made an innocent mistake.
03:09SPEAKERYeah. Will Smith in Birmingham, UK does that.
03:11SPEAKERHe thought he was Will.Smith at Gmail for a really long time.
03:14SPEAKERTurns out he's not right.
03:15SPEAKERLike I for a while I was getting parent teacher organization emails
03:20SPEAKERfrom some school district where some parents name had gotten put in wrong.
03:24SPEAKERAnd I was like, I was getting emails about like, oh,
03:25SPEAKERthe PTA meeting is tonight, blah, blah, blah.
03:27SPEAKERAnd it's like, my question is, do you ever reach out and like say, hey, OK,
03:33SPEAKERlike like if it's if it's something where it seems like somebody made
03:36SPEAKERan honest mistake or they like,
03:37SPEAKERlike went with Will instead of William or something like that,
03:39SPEAKERthen I'll be like, hey, this isn't I'm not the person you're looking for.
03:42SPEAKERBut if it's some jerk who put, you know, Drake into his insurance quote
03:47SPEAKERand the problems most of the time, there's no like
03:50SPEAKERif it's a no reply email address, there's no way for me to let them know.
03:55SPEAKERSo like if it's just spam, if it's just like like
03:57SPEAKERI guess it's not spam, I guess it's ham at that point.
04:00SPEAKERBut but if it's just email from like a corporate entity
04:03SPEAKERto a customer or potential customer, there's no way for me to fix that.
04:08SPEAKERI'm going to tell you the best one I ever got. Yes. Well, OK.
04:12SPEAKERThere's some uncomfortable stuff because a lot of people send racy pictures
04:15SPEAKERto celebrities via email, it turns out, wow, men and women, men and women.
04:20SPEAKERInteresting. Yeah, not where I thought this was going.
04:23SPEAKERBut the best one that is not the best stuff.
04:25SPEAKERThat stuff is always unfortunate. It's never what you want.
04:29SPEAKERThe best stuff was when the Popeyes franchise Popeyes
04:34SPEAKERChicken franchise for Central Florida was sending me their customer
04:38SPEAKERcomplaint reports. What?
04:40SPEAKERSo every time somebody complained about food in a Popeyes
04:44SPEAKERfrom like Orlando to the north, the north border of Florida.
04:49SPEAKERSure. Right. Like a Scala.
04:51SPEAKERI would get I would get a per franchise breakdown of the actual complaint,
04:58SPEAKERthe remedy that was taken for the customer and the post remedy action
05:02SPEAKERthat was taken by the by the local franchisee.
05:05SPEAKERWhat I don't understand is how that got shunted to you,
05:07SPEAKERbecause wouldn't the management actually want to see those like?
05:09SPEAKERWell, the manager's name was Will Smith, and he did not want to be bothered by this.
05:13SPEAKERIt was one of those. All right. Yeah. So he signed up for this.
05:16SPEAKERSo I just I just replied back after a few years.
05:19SPEAKERThey were really good. Like people complain about anything.
05:22SPEAKERThe shrimp were too small. The shrimp were too big.
05:24SPEAKERThere wasn't enough breading. There was too much breading.
05:27SPEAKERThe beans were not spicy enough.
05:29SPEAKERThe the green beans were too spicy. The gravy was too hot.
05:33SPEAKERYeah. It was the upshot is you you get a free sandwich.
05:37SPEAKERYeah. I want to hear I want to hear what the remediations were for these issues.
05:41SPEAKERIt's always a free sandwich.
05:43SPEAKEROh, man. With saying there is such a thing as a free lunch.
05:47SPEAKERLook, if you're willing to complain about something trivial and inconsequential,
05:49SPEAKERyes, you can get a free lunch from Popeyes.
05:52SPEAKERSo the only thing you have to pay is your dignity.
06:13SPEAKERWelcome to Brad and Will Made of TechPod, I'm Will.
06:25SPEAKERI'm Brad, I guess.
06:28SPEAKERWait, do you have questions about your identity after the last of the cold open?
06:32SPEAKERNot really. Kind of, I guess.
06:34SPEAKERI'm a little confused about what we're doing here, but please continue.
06:38SPEAKERI've got a question for you.
06:40SPEAKERWhat what what do you what's the collective noun for cold for a group of cold opens?
06:45SPEAKERYou think group of cold opens, you know, like a murder of crows or a gaggle of geese?
06:51SPEAKERYeah, I mean, cold brings to mind like ice freezer kind of situation, like a clump,
06:57SPEAKERperhaps a clump of cold opens or a block of cold opens, maybe.
07:01SPEAKERYeah, I was going to go with alliteration.
07:04SPEAKERI was going to like a challenge or a cavalcade or a chrysanthemum of cold opens.
07:10SPEAKERA challenge. That sounds very British somehow.
07:13SPEAKERA cornucopia of cold opens, maybe.
07:15SPEAKERYeah, sure. I mean, the cold opens are like my favorite part of a lot of podcasts.
07:20SPEAKERYeah, because you don't really have to talk about anything.
07:23SPEAKERIt's the Seinfeld of podcasting.
07:25SPEAKERIt's just like it's about anything and nothing.
07:28SPEAKERHere's a little slice of life.
07:29SPEAKERYou can just just put your fork and knife into this and chew.
07:33SPEAKEREnjoy it. Love it.
07:34SPEAKERYes. Some some good media podcasting.
07:37SPEAKERIt's got a gamey quality to it.
07:39SPEAKERAll right. Now, you don't want a gamey podcast.
07:41SPEAKERYou probably don't know what some people like.
07:44SPEAKERA little bit of gaminess, right?
07:45SPEAKERLook, I like the dark meat on a podcast, but I don't want to get I don't want to get that that spicy.
07:49SPEAKERWe got some we got some pate a while a couple of months ago.
07:53SPEAKERFancy, but well, no.
07:56SPEAKEROh, it was the gamiest thing I have ever put in my mouth.
07:59SPEAKERIt was a borderline inedible.
08:01SPEAKERWe actually didn't finish it.
08:02SPEAKERIt was you grew up in a part of the country where you would regularly eat game meat.
08:07SPEAKERIt was an inexpensive pate, I should say.
08:09SPEAKERIt was like a grocery store.
08:11SPEAKERIt was not a high quality product.
08:13SPEAKERIs this like what you would smear on like a banh mi or something or like?
08:16SPEAKERYeah, sure. Like that kind of thing.
08:18SPEAKERYeah, we're putting it on crackers, bread, stuff like that.
08:21SPEAKERBut yeah, the aromatic quality.
08:24SPEAKERYeah. Like it was so up in your sinuses.
08:27SPEAKERYou know what I mean? It just kicked you.
08:29SPEAKERLike, you know, like it just tasted like the earth in meat form.
08:32SPEAKERDoes that make sense? You know, I have an eight year old.
08:34SPEAKERWe don't eat a lot of pate in the house these days.
08:37SPEAKERIt's not on the list.
08:38SPEAKERIt turns out I get it anyway.
08:41SPEAKERThat's food technology.
08:43SPEAKERThat's what we're here to talk about. Right.
08:44SPEAKERProcessed meat, potted meat, potted meat.
08:47SPEAKEROh, man. OK, so if we're talking about processed meat.
08:52SPEAKERI mean, are you a Vienna sausages, yes or no?
08:56SPEAKEROK, here's here's how Vienna sausages I am.
08:59SPEAKERYeah, back home, back home.
09:00SPEAKERThey were known as Vienna sausages. Wow.
09:03SPEAKERI come from some very humble country stock.
09:06SPEAKERWow, that is so yeah.
09:08SPEAKERWow. OK, there was a lot of there was not a lot of culture.
09:11SPEAKERI mean, well, there was a culture, of course, but oh, yeah, there's always a culture.
09:15SPEAKERNot a wide ranging one.
09:16SPEAKERLet's say, were you were you straight from the can
09:19SPEAKERor did you like put a little mustard on and put them on a saltine?
09:21SPEAKERI didn't know that my dad ate them a lot like that.
09:23SPEAKEROne of the older generations ate them.
09:25SPEAKERI didn't eat them as much delicacy for the boomers.
09:27SPEAKERIt turns out, yes, especially, you know, the people, the ones who came before them.
09:32SPEAKERNo, I think there were I think they were going
09:34SPEAKERstraight out of the can onto a saltine cracker, I believe was the extent of the preparation.
09:38SPEAKERDid you use them for fishing ever?
09:41SPEAKEREither as human and or bait food? No.
09:44SPEAKEROh, let me tell you, a bluegill will go ham on a chunk of Vienna sausage.
09:49SPEAKEROh, wow. Yeah.
09:51SPEAKERFishing other than there's a little pond behind my grandparents
09:54SPEAKERhouse that my grandpa stocked with brim and stuff like that.
09:57SPEAKEROh, I did a little bit of worm fishing, but that was about it.
10:01SPEAKERWhen I was when I learned to scuba dive, my the instructor,
10:04SPEAKERwhen we did our first lake check, I've brought cans of Vienna sausages
10:08SPEAKERfor everybody who's like crack these open when we're at like 60 feet
10:11SPEAKERand we crack them open and channel catfish the size of my thigh, like leg.
10:15SPEAKERThe whole like the with the round of my thigh came up
10:19SPEAKERand ate the Vienna sausages straight out of your hand.
10:22SPEAKEROh, it was kind of amazing, but also really scary because they are big ass fish.
10:27SPEAKERI, you know, I just keep the sausages for myself next time. Yeah.
10:31SPEAKERI haven't had him in a long time.
10:32SPEAKERDid you do potted meat?
10:33SPEAKERWe did potted meat when I was a kid.
10:34SPEAKERSo, yes, the Underwood.
10:37SPEAKERYeah. Do you know Underwood?
10:38SPEAKERLike devil ham, a little devil.
10:40SPEAKERYeah, that little devil on the label brings back some memories.
10:44SPEAKERI'm not sure what kind of memories.
10:45SPEAKERI don't know that we can get that.
10:47SPEAKERThat seems like a product that might not be available here on the West Coast.
10:50SPEAKERIt's possible.
10:51SPEAKERLet me just type potted meat into a search engine here.
10:55SPEAKEROh, yeah. Potted meat food product.
10:56SPEAKERAnytime you're dealing in food product, you know that you're high class.
11:01SPEAKERWell, I mean, you say that, but like your pate is the same thing just tarted up.
11:05SPEAKERRight. You know, you're right.
11:07SPEAKERThey don't put potted possum on the can for the pate.
11:09SPEAKERIt's not really possum also.
11:11SPEAKERArmor. Yeah, that's a big brand in the process.
11:14SPEAKERArmor potted meat is another one.
11:16SPEAKERI bet you could get some potted meat around here.
11:18SPEAKERI bet. I would hope the Californians are not above it.
11:21SPEAKERYou think there's like a fancy potted meat place where you can get like that?
11:24SPEAKERI mean, actually, I know there is because I've been there.
11:26SPEAKERIt's in it's in the ferry building.
11:28SPEAKERThe the salumary there is essentially a potted meat joint that's tarted.
11:33SPEAKERThat's all fancied up. Yes. Yes.
11:35SPEAKERThey will they will deconstruct anything around here
11:38SPEAKERand sell it back to you for 100 times the price awful city.
11:49SPEAKERIs there anything more annoying
11:50SPEAKERthan not having the right screwdriver you need exactly when you need it?
11:54SPEAKEROh, God. I still get that there is not.
11:56SPEAKERI if you look, I have within reach of me
12:01SPEAKERtwo identical sets of security bits, like like the full
12:06SPEAKERthe little I fix it thing with the twisties and the bendy shaft
12:09SPEAKERand like a bazillion different security bits.
12:12SPEAKERI have a set of like spinner handle, like awesome screwdrivers.
12:17SPEAKERAnd I have like an adjustable for and like hardware store
12:20SPEAKERscrewdriver for big stuff.
12:22SPEAKERI always have the right screw.
12:23SPEAKEROh, and I was an eyeglass screwdriver.
12:25SPEAKERYou've got to get the full smorgasbord of bits.
12:28SPEAKERLook, I don't mess around with screwdrivers.
12:30SPEAKERFor the record, there are about a bazillion things more annoying
12:33SPEAKERthan not having the right screwdriver.
12:34SPEAKERI'm just going to say in the very narrow category of things
12:37SPEAKERthat have annoyed me in the last 24 hours, that one's what's the deal.
12:43SPEAKERPatron episode listeners.
12:47SPEAKERYes. Who heard our patron spotlight with Twinkle Twinkie the other day?
12:50SPEAKEROh, did you do it?
12:51SPEAKERNo, that's why I did it.
12:53SPEAKERThat's what I didn't have the screwdriver for.
12:55SPEAKEROh, I was all I pulled my old Xbox out of the closet
12:57SPEAKERso I could bust it open and pull out that bad clock capacitor.
13:01SPEAKERWait, it had security bits?
13:03SPEAKERExcept I have like a T4 and a T5 Torx
13:07SPEAKERand not the T10 and the T20 that are apparently required to get into that thing.
13:11SPEAKERWhat the hell was Jay Allard thinking? I thought he was cool.
13:14SPEAKERHe had the hoodie and the sport coat.
13:16SPEAKERDude, he seemed like a cool guy.
13:18SPEAKERCome on. You saw those old pictures.
13:20SPEAKERCool people don't use security bits, man.
13:23SPEAKERIt was always Microsoft Plaid shirt underneath.
13:26SPEAKERYou know that.
13:26SPEAKERAh, yeah.
13:29SPEAKERDockers from the waist down, baby.
13:30SPEAKERYes. No, no amount of a hoodie, suit jacket and earring
13:34SPEAKERcan ever make up for the windows plaid.
13:38SPEAKERWow. Anyway, I ordered a screwdriver set.
13:41SPEAKERI said, screw it. You know what? Forget it.
13:44SPEAKERI can't do this anymore.
13:45SPEAKERI'm just going to because I've been I've been assembling a hodgepodge for years.
13:48SPEAKERDoes everybody go through this process?
13:50SPEAKERLike probably like years and years of like, oh, I need that one thing.
13:54SPEAKERI'm going to get that or like, oh, this Joy-Con kit I bought
13:57SPEAKERcame with a driver and a couple of Torx are actually in that case.
14:00SPEAKERI think they're it's a tri wing tri tri wing. Right.
14:03SPEAKERBut like that's the thing.
14:04SPEAKERI've got just like a mishmash of crappy cheapo, no name screwdrivers and bits
14:09SPEAKERand like some of them fit together and some don't.
14:11SPEAKERBut do you keep Allen wrenches that come with furniture?
14:14SPEAKEROh, my God, I've got I don't know where any of them are.
14:17SPEAKERBut I bet I bet there are a dozen Allen wrenches in this house.
14:19SPEAKERSo that's one of the things that I've got to put on my
14:22SPEAKERon my to buy list is like I want a set of T handle Allen wrenches
14:26SPEAKERthat are all the like all the sizes all the way big to small.
14:30SPEAKERBecause I don't I don't have like I have I have like Allen wrench bits,
14:34SPEAKERbut not the actual the T handle ones are so good
14:39SPEAKERbecause you get so much torque on them.
14:41SPEAKERAnd so I have like all the security bits.
14:44SPEAKERI have a good set of Torx and Torx with that hole in the middle
14:47SPEAKERthat makes them hard to do.
14:49SPEAKERI have a safety bit.
14:51SPEAKERYeah, the safety bit.
14:52SPEAKERWhy would you want it to be harder?
14:53SPEAKERWhat? Well, it's well, it's it's because they don't want us opening them.
14:58SPEAKERI see. It's just it's to protect the electronics from me,
15:01SPEAKERwhich I don't approve of.
15:04SPEAKERThey call it a security bit because of that.
15:06SPEAKEROK, securing it for me, the purchaser.
15:08SPEAKERI see. I'm guessing this will make more sense to me when I get the screwdrivers
15:11SPEAKERand start opening things.
15:13SPEAKERWell, so some of the Torx, some of the Torx like there's the Torx,
15:16SPEAKERwhich was common, I think the automotive industry came up with that one.
15:20SPEAKERAnd then the Torx, everybody bought those.
15:22SPEAKERPeople started making everybody bought them.
15:24SPEAKERSo then somebody was like, well,
15:26SPEAKERwhat if we put a post in the middle of that hole on the screw end?
15:29SPEAKERI see. So then you can't actually put the Torx in. I see.
15:32SPEAKERIt's just another layer of security that.
15:35SPEAKERYeah, that's why the security bit version.
15:38SPEAKERYeah, I see. Yeah, OK.
15:40SPEAKERBecause I know that Torx was originally supposed to be a security bit.
15:42SPEAKERLike that's the whole point.
15:43SPEAKERIs that did you know the Torx is a copyrighted name?
15:46SPEAKERLike it's it's like it's like an action.
15:47SPEAKERTorx is like a is like a trademarked name.
15:50SPEAKERI had no idea what that was.
15:52SPEAKERAnd the Allen wrench is named after Barry Allen, the original flash.
15:56SPEAKERHow do you know? How do you do it?
15:57SPEAKERI guess I mean, I guess you can patent or trademark or copyright anything.
16:01SPEAKERWell, it's a design.
16:03SPEAKERSomething is something is
16:07SPEAKERelemental.
16:08SPEAKERLet's say something is fundamental, has a five or six sided
16:12SPEAKERgeometric design, maybe seems a little too generic for that to me.
16:15SPEAKERSo you can trademark the name.
16:16SPEAKERThey can't trademark the shape.
16:18SPEAKEROh, yeah. Yeah, I see.
16:20SPEAKERThey can't like patent the shape of the day.
16:22SPEAKERThat's why you might occasionally see
16:24SPEAKERsomebody refer to it as like a hex bit or a star bit or something like that.
16:27SPEAKERI see. Well, it's like it's like the the pentalobe that Apple started using around.
16:32SPEAKERI think iPhone four time is like a five lobe star basically with round edges.
16:38SPEAKERAnd that was like the basically what it does is buys them a year or two
16:43SPEAKERwhere those bits are hard to get because like you have to build up.
16:47SPEAKERLike there's no if there's no foundries
16:49SPEAKERthat are making those, then it takes a little while to get them in the channel.
16:53SPEAKERAnd then you see folks like I fix it, have a real early lead on that
16:56SPEAKERbecause they'll they'll spend a bunch of money to make them fast
16:59SPEAKERand get them out to people who need to have them to open up iPhones.
17:04SPEAKERWhat do you think is the what is the true goal
17:07SPEAKERin stopping people from opening their devices like deep down,
17:11SPEAKERlike not the stated goal, but like that whatever executive level,
17:15SPEAKERwherever the corporate decisions are actually made.
17:18SPEAKERIt's I think they just want to speed bump for chuds because like
17:20SPEAKERthey know that Samsung is going to be able to get that thing open
17:23SPEAKERwith a drill no matter what.
17:24SPEAKERLike Samsung will buy 10 phones to see what's inside the new iPhone. Right.
17:27SPEAKERThey don't care about if they destroy eight of them or all of them, frankly.
17:31SPEAKERAnd they'll just drill the screws out.
17:32SPEAKERSo it's so you're not going to stop somebody who's like dedicated.
17:35SPEAKERYou're Ben Affleck in in in.
17:40SPEAKERWhat was that? Was that payback cash?
17:43SPEAKERYou ask me, do you ask me anything about the body of work of Ben Affleck?
17:46SPEAKERLook, he was in a movie where he was a reverse engineering guy
17:49SPEAKERand they locked him in a hotel room with a console.
17:51SPEAKERAnd then he came out 48 hours later and told him how the new console worked.
17:54SPEAKERIt was amazing. What?
17:56SPEAKERThat's yeah. Yeah.
17:57SPEAKERThis is this is maybe Ben Affleck's like like best role by
18:01SPEAKERGigli and Jersey girl dad.
18:04SPEAKERBen Affleck will always be that meathead from Good Will Hunting to me,
18:07SPEAKERand I will never hear any different.
18:09SPEAKERI see for me, he's the meathead from the from the Kevin Smith movies,
18:12SPEAKERfrom Chasing Amy and and and anyway.
18:16SPEAKERAnyway, so yeah, he
18:21SPEAKERI think they just want to keep normal people from opening their stuff
18:24SPEAKERand either hurting themselves or causing warranty problems.
18:28SPEAKERYou think that's actually it?
18:29SPEAKERI think so. It's not a drive revenue by charging
18:33SPEAKERvery pricey repair services, that kind of thing.
18:35SPEAKERLook, here's the bad press situation for
18:39SPEAKERyour thing is too easy to open.
18:41SPEAKERYou know, I got I got a phone with a lithium
18:44SPEAKERpolymer battery in there and I make it too easy to open.
18:47SPEAKERAnd some Yahoo pops that thing open,
18:50SPEAKERpops the battery, fills their house with lithium smoke.
18:53SPEAKERAnd next thing you know, it's another McDonald's coffee lawsuit
18:56SPEAKERwhere some chucklehead did something that was really damaging to them
18:59SPEAKERand hurt them badly.
19:00SPEAKERAnd Apple's responsible because they didn't use the security bit
19:03SPEAKERand they get sued.
19:04SPEAKERAnd that's what they're trying to avoid.
19:05SPEAKERIt's the lawyers, man.
19:06SPEAKERIf the history of nuclear engineering has taught us anything, it's the one
19:10SPEAKERone wrong screwdriver move, one slipped screwdriver.
19:13SPEAKERAnd everybody is in major trouble.
19:21SPEAKERClogged dishwasher drain.
19:23SPEAKERI think that's my verdict.
19:24SPEAKERMy final verdict after two months, at least of a nonfunctional dishwasher.
19:30SPEAKERHave we talked about this on the podcast before and just like back
19:32SPEAKERand forth in other venues?
19:33SPEAKERNo, I talk about it on the discord a little bit.
19:36SPEAKEROK, it stopped spraying water at some point.
19:40SPEAKERYeah, that'll happen a couple of months ago.
19:42SPEAKERAnd I put off a getting in there myself,
19:45SPEAKERtry to figure out what was going on, because what do I know about a dishwasher?
19:48SPEAKERThe it's not that hard.
19:50SPEAKERBe contacting the landlord because boy, is he grumpy
19:54SPEAKERabout fixing or replacing things that are not absolutely essential.
19:58SPEAKERLook. OK, so first off.
20:02SPEAKERKnowing what I know about home ownership now
20:05SPEAKERand also the amazing amount of money that he's saving on
20:08SPEAKERand making on being a landlord in San Francisco.
20:12SPEAKERYou should call him for the slightest thing.
20:14SPEAKERI think you're probably regardless of grumpiness.
20:16SPEAKERI think you're probably right.
20:18SPEAKERWe're I mean, last I checked, we're just a hair below market value,
20:21SPEAKERbut not really so.
20:23SPEAKERYeah. And like if he's raising rent every year, then then let him
20:27SPEAKERyou know, you should get a dishwasher every time the slightest thing goes wrong.
20:30SPEAKEROh, I like the way you think.
20:31SPEAKERYeah, you look, you're paying a premium for a small
20:35SPEAKERamount of living space in an expensive city.
20:38SPEAKERIf you owned this place, this would be your problem.
20:40SPEAKERBut since you don't, it's someone else's problem.
20:42SPEAKERAnd I like I think there's a good faith effort here where you like
20:45SPEAKERyou you fish out whatever horrible hell stew is in the drain of the dishwasher.
20:52SPEAKERBut but then after that, I mean, there is the Rona stitch.
20:55SPEAKERYes. The factor.
20:57SPEAKERYeah. To be fair is even if he were to send a technician to take a look,
21:00SPEAKERdo I really want random people in my house right now?
21:03SPEAKERYeah. I mean, my my nightmare stitch right now is that there's
21:06SPEAKERlike a plumbing problem that I can't fix in the house.
21:08SPEAKERAnd we have to have somebody come in and like dismantle stuff
21:11SPEAKERfor three days to repair whatever drain problem we have.
21:16SPEAKERYes. Extenuating circumstances at the moment, let's say.
21:19SPEAKERAnyway, we finally got around to kind of digging in there a little bit.
21:22SPEAKERI did a little reading on the girl and I pulled the I don't know what you call it,
21:27SPEAKERlike the trap, the kind of basket that covers the drain.
21:30SPEAKEROff the nightmare basket is what I think of that one as
21:33SPEAKERso they're saying that every week, you know, standing water in there.
21:36SPEAKERYeah, that's bad, which I guess means that it's probably clogged. I mean.
21:42SPEAKERMy understanding, I think to hear you tell it, even there are like, what,
21:44SPEAKERtwo, three things that can cause the water to stop working.
21:47SPEAKERSo I had this exact same problem
21:48SPEAKERhappened to my four or five year old dishwasher a few years ago,
21:51SPEAKERand we did the same thing where we just washed dishes by hand for like two months.
21:54SPEAKERRight. That's exactly what we've been doing.
21:56SPEAKERWe've been using the dishwasher as a glorified drying rack, which
22:00SPEAKERturns out, yeah, we all do all the dishes by hand.
22:02SPEAKERSure does take a long time.
22:04SPEAKERIt takes a long time. It wastes a ton of water, too.
22:06SPEAKERThat's the other thing. Yes.
22:08SPEAKERSo I did that and I looked it up on the Internet
22:11SPEAKERand I called a friend of mine who's a plumber in Tennessee
22:13SPEAKERand he was like, OK, appliance repair in Tennessee.
22:15SPEAKERHe's like, here's what it is.
22:16SPEAKERProbably it's one of these two things.
22:17SPEAKERIt's either the pump or the switch that turns on the pump.
22:20SPEAKEROr when was the last time you cleaned your dishwasher drain?
22:23SPEAKERIt's like, wait, there's a dishwasher drain.
22:24SPEAKERYeah, that was my reaction.
22:26SPEAKERI didn't know that that was meant to be cleaned manually.
22:29SPEAKERYeah. So I cleaned the dishwasher drain.
22:31SPEAKERThat didn't fix it.
22:31SPEAKERAnd then I looked up the repair process,
22:35SPEAKERreplacement process for the pump and the switch and the switch.
22:39SPEAKERBasically, in order to get to either of them,
22:41SPEAKERyou had to pull the dishwasher all the way out,
22:43SPEAKERcompletely dismantle the entire thing like front panel
22:46SPEAKERall the way off, door all the way off,
22:49SPEAKERall the stuff underneath it, all the way out and then tilted up on its back.
22:53SPEAKERAnd I was like, OK, this was a thousand dollar dishwasher.
22:56SPEAKERIt's a it is if I buy both parts, it's two hundred and fifty dollars
23:00SPEAKERworth of parts. And the dishwasher is like a year out of warranty at this point.
23:07SPEAKERSo I was like, I'm just going to do it.
23:09SPEAKERI'm going to buy both things.
23:09SPEAKERSo I have to pull it out and take it apart one time and replace them both.
23:13SPEAKERAnd then hopefully it's going to work.
23:14SPEAKERI'm not never going to know which one was broken,
23:16SPEAKERbut I'm just going to throw them both into the electronics recycling.
23:19SPEAKERSo I did it. It took two full days of cursing.
23:23SPEAKERI had like sheet metal cuts because they're not designed to be worked on
23:26SPEAKERby normal human beings.
23:29SPEAKERIt was easily the most difficult repair.
23:33SPEAKERSo on when when my friend when I talked to my friend,
23:38SPEAKERhe was like, you should just buy a new dishwasher.
23:40SPEAKERThat's my advice as somebody who does this for a living.
23:43SPEAKERIt's not worth it.
23:44SPEAKERI was like, it can't be that bad. I'm good at taking so far.
23:46SPEAKERIt's like I know you're good at taking stuff apart, but trust me on this.
23:49SPEAKERI was like, OK, whatever.
23:51SPEAKERI'm not spending a thousand seven hundred and fifty extra dollars
23:54SPEAKERon a new dishwasher. Let's go.
23:57SPEAKERAnd yeah, it took two full days. It was horrible.
23:59SPEAKERYou should just make your landlord buy a new dishwasher if it's broken.
24:01SPEAKERSome things were not meant to be DIY, I suppose.
24:06SPEAKERWell, what do you think is the oldest
24:09SPEAKERthe residential dishwasher realistically could be?
24:12SPEAKERBecause I would say, however, however old you think one could,
24:16SPEAKERhowever long you think one could last is probably about how old this thing is.
24:19SPEAKERDoes it have a knob that clicks?
24:21SPEAKERWhat do you mean? Like like automatically like a timer sound?
24:25SPEAKERLike when you rotate it, does it make a clicking noise or is it smooth?
24:28SPEAKERYes. Yes. That's real.
24:30SPEAKERThat's 40 years old. Wow.
24:32SPEAKERSo so I started to say I bet that's why I asked how old you think one could be,
24:36SPEAKERbecause I started to say about this is a 30 year old dishwasher.
24:38SPEAKERAnd then I was like,
24:39SPEAKERthere's no way any dishwasher could last for 30 years. Right.
24:42SPEAKERSo in the 80s, in the 80s, they had the clicking knobs in the 90s.
24:45SPEAKERThey started replacing those with like soft touch and and contact buttons.
24:50SPEAKEROK, this thing is then extremely old.
24:53SPEAKERDoes your landlord pay for water?
24:55SPEAKERYes. So he's probably hosing himself by keeping this shitty old dishwasher in there.
25:00SPEAKERInteresting. Probably burning so much water.
25:05SPEAKERYeah, like.
25:07SPEAKERI think the dishwasher is one of those appliances
25:11SPEAKERthat I think you should replace on the reg because they get more efficient over time.
25:16SPEAKERLess efficient over time.
25:17SPEAKERNo more. Wait.
25:19SPEAKERNo, no, like the new models are way more efficient than the old models.
25:22SPEAKERI thought you were saying once you buy one, it becomes more efficient,
25:24SPEAKERthe more that doesn't make sense at all.
25:25SPEAKERNo, no, no. So like so like ours become more efficient, of course. Yes.
25:29SPEAKERYeah. We have this Bosch one that uses
25:33SPEAKERit heats the tub around the edge and that
25:35SPEAKERand then it uses that heat to wick the moisture off of the thing.
25:39SPEAKERSo there's no like heating element,
25:40SPEAKERwhich means you don't have like top rack bottom rack issues
25:43SPEAKERwhere you put plastic on the bottom rack and it melts. Sure.
25:47SPEAKERAnd it is quieter and it takes a long time is the only knock against it.
25:52SPEAKERBut it like is a dramatically better dishwashing experience.
25:55SPEAKERAnd it uses like a gallon of water per load,
25:57SPEAKERwhich is way less than you use if you're doing it by hand.
26:01SPEAKERSo I've taken everything you've said here to heart.
26:05SPEAKERGuess who's guess who's getting a phone call?
26:07SPEAKERYeah, just look, here's the thing.
26:09SPEAKERYou're doing him a favor by encouraging him to spend to invest in you.
26:13SPEAKERBrad, that's that's what's happening here.
26:15SPEAKERI like the way you think.
26:23SPEAKERHey, hey, Brad, speaking of things that are really old. Mm hmm.
26:26SPEAKERYou know, the Lord of the Rings is 20 this year. 20?
26:29SPEAKERI think you mean 45, like six, six, 65 years old.
26:35SPEAKERI think you mean 85 years old.
26:37SPEAKERIf you're going to go with books, weren't they pre World War Two?
26:40SPEAKERNo. Well, The Hobbit was pre World War Two.
26:43SPEAKERLord of the Rings came out in 55, I think.
26:46SPEAKERSo that's 70, 70 years.
26:48SPEAKERYes. Yes. There's 68.
26:50SPEAKERSo, yes, something like that.
26:52SPEAKEROrlando Bloom's seminal performance is Legolas.
26:56SPEAKERThe most beautiful elf, Olegi.
26:58SPEAKERYes. Yeah. Is now 20.
27:00SPEAKERI there was a polygon thing yesterday where I think Chris
27:05SPEAKERPlant went to see Lord of the Rings in the movie theater.
27:09SPEAKERAnd I read it because I was like, man, I love going to movie theaters.
27:12SPEAKERMovie theaters are so good.
27:14SPEAKERAnd I was he was he was talking about the experience of being in a shared space
27:17SPEAKERwith a bunch of randos watching a movie and everybody's having like a good time
27:20SPEAKERand enjoying it. I was like, this is moving me to actual tears.
27:25SPEAKERBut also then he was like at the end, it's like, oh, by the way,
27:28SPEAKERthis is part of our celebration of the 20th
27:30SPEAKERanniversary of the release of the first Lord of the Rings movie.
27:32SPEAKERI was like, wait, what?
27:34SPEAKERI don't like it. I don't like it.
27:36SPEAKERThat's a current franchise.
27:38SPEAKERYeah, that came out like three years ago.
27:40SPEAKERYeah. Yeah.
27:43SPEAKERThis is this is like when I did the math on the 80s the other day.
27:47SPEAKERI was I was going to say the Lord of the Rings came out three years ago
27:50SPEAKERin the 80s because that's when 20 years ago was.
27:54SPEAKERYeah. Twenty this is Matt.
27:56SPEAKERThe math I did when my daughter was born about music is that like she has
28:00SPEAKERthe same relationship with Nirvana that I have with the Kingston Trio.
28:03SPEAKERWe can't do this in that it's shit my dad listened to when I was in college.
28:08SPEAKERThat's right. Yeah.
28:10SPEAKERWheel out the track player.
28:14SPEAKERYou know, why why isn't why is there no why is there no
28:19SPEAKERthis is actually a real question.
28:21SPEAKERWhy isn't there a fondness for tape?
28:24SPEAKEROh, because it's bad.
28:25SPEAKERI mean, my understanding is the tape is, in fact, coming back
28:28SPEAKERin a slightly kitschy way.
28:29SPEAKERBut people are making mixtapes for each other.
28:31SPEAKERNot so much. I think more like, hey, you can buy this on cassette tape now,
28:35SPEAKERif you like, because it's like the obvious evolution from the retro
28:39SPEAKERaffection for vinyl.
28:40SPEAKERDo you ever buy a single?
28:42SPEAKERI did not.
28:44SPEAKEROh, man, I was more of a I was more of a full album type of person.
28:48SPEAKEROK. It was always more just like a singles.
28:50SPEAKERIt was always just like, I mean, you know, the
28:53SPEAKERthe price to song ratio was pretty bad like a single, right?
28:56SPEAKERWell, sometimes you get a deal.
28:57SPEAKERSometimes there'd be a deal in that bin right by the by the cash register on the
29:02SPEAKERlike, I think I bought a fat boy's single
29:05SPEAKERrip Prince Markie D, by the way.
29:07SPEAKERHow much did that run you? Maybe two bucks.
29:09SPEAKERI don't know. I didn't feel like it was that expensive on sale.
29:13SPEAKERYeah, it was in the it was in the deal bin.
29:14SPEAKERBecause I feel like like you're kind of brand new,
29:17SPEAKERlike hot single was like, what, four bucks or something?
29:20SPEAKERYeah, like like like like you wanted the whole album was like 10.
29:25SPEAKERNo, whole album was like 15.
29:27SPEAKERNo way. Really?
29:28SPEAKERThey were price fixing.
29:29SPEAKEROf course, it was expensive as hell.
29:31SPEAKERMm hmm. You might have had a better record store than I did.
29:33SPEAKEROur record store stitch was grim in Bristol.
29:36SPEAKERWhere did you go?
29:39SPEAKERI went to.
29:41SPEAKERGod, I can't remember it was a place outside.
29:44SPEAKERSo the cheap place was outside the mall, the expensive place was inside them.
29:47SPEAKEROK, yeah, we had Camelot music in the mall, but we didn't have Camelot. No.
29:53SPEAKERWe had. God, what was it?
29:57SPEAKERIt was called. Well, OK, so there was a record.
29:59SPEAKERThe place I bought my first CD
30:00SPEAKERwas this record store that had been there for 100 years.
30:02SPEAKERIt was next door to a really good sub shop.
30:05SPEAKERAnd when we would go order subs, I would go walk in and look at records.
30:09SPEAKERAnd if I had like if I had a little bit of money, I would buy a CD I bought.
30:13SPEAKERI bought I bought two things.
30:17SPEAKERI bought the first CDs I bought where you choose Joshua Tree. OK.
30:21SPEAKERAnd when I was at the cash register, I was like, I told the guy
30:25SPEAKERwho owned the joint that this was the first CD everybody was like,
30:27SPEAKERoh, you should get something else to you.
30:29SPEAKERLet me throw this in.
30:30SPEAKERI'll give you I'll give you this for five bucks.
30:31SPEAKERAnd it was the platter's greatest hits.
30:33SPEAKERHe was looking out for he's like, OK, you did 20 to 30 years from now.
30:36SPEAKERYou don't want to have to say that the Joshua Tree was your first CD.
30:39SPEAKERLet me just help you out here.
30:40SPEAKERExcept except then, except then he gave you the platter's greatest hits.
30:43SPEAKERSo look, I like I like the Joshua Tree for a long time.
30:47SPEAKERI, I, I, I was a YouTube fan, old, old, like 80s, YouTube's not terrible.
30:53SPEAKERBefore they got into executive walk on music, YouTube was pretty good.
30:56SPEAKERBut that Joshua Tree album was ruined for me
31:00SPEAKERbecause I drove back from Phoenix, Arizona to Knoxville.
31:03SPEAKERWith a friend of mine when I was in college and we had to do it in one.
31:07SPEAKERI got we had a really bad hangover with the day we were supposed to leave.
31:10SPEAKERSo we didn't leave.
31:11SPEAKERAnd we had to we had to drive back in one shot,
31:14SPEAKERwhich is two is 32 hours nonstop.
31:19SPEAKERAnd he had like this cool set 10 CD changer in his car
31:23SPEAKERthat we loaded up.
31:24SPEAKERWe brought a whole shitload of CDs.
31:25SPEAKERWe're ready to listen to different music the whole way back
31:28SPEAKERbecause there's radio stations in that part of 40.
31:31SPEAKERNot good. It's real thin.
31:33SPEAKERAnd we got going and it was really hot because it was August in Arizona.
31:38SPEAKERAnd the wire from the head unit to the CD
31:41SPEAKERchanger shorted out and melted in the heat.
31:46SPEAKERSo the CD changer stopped working about two hours into the 32 hour drive.
31:51SPEAKEROh, no. And the only tape that he had was YouTube's Joshua Tree.
31:56SPEAKEROh. So it was like that or conservative talk radio
32:02SPEAKERor six, one half a dozen of another or like Navajo,
32:09SPEAKERlike like native music stations.
32:11SPEAKEROK, we listen to a lot of native music for Joshua Tree.
32:15SPEAKERIt's absolutely the right show of those three.
32:17SPEAKERI think that's the right choice.
32:19SPEAKERThe place we were was where the streets had no name.
32:21SPEAKERYes, I'm sure it's true.
32:23SPEAKERMy first CD. Yeah.
32:25SPEAKERThe soundtrack to Wayne's World.
32:28SPEAKERParty time. Excellent.
32:30SPEAKERDid that have Bohemian Rhapsody?
32:32SPEAKERYes, actually, it did.
32:33SPEAKERNow that you mention it, I believe that was the first track. So, hey.
32:36SPEAKERAnd it's halfway decent cover of Ballroom Blitz.
32:40SPEAKERShout out to Wayne's World for making Bohemian Rhapsody
32:44SPEAKERthe A side it deserved to be.
32:46SPEAKERYes, because wasn't it the B side for We Will Rock You or something
32:50SPEAKERlike some super queen hit?
32:52SPEAKERI'm afraid. Is that actually true?
32:54SPEAKERI'm pretty sure it was a B side originally.
32:56SPEAKERI don't know that there's anybody older than us who listens to this podcast.
32:59SPEAKERI would love to know if nobody knew what Bohemian Rhapsody was before Wayne's World.
33:05SPEAKEROh, man, we listened.
33:08SPEAKERWe we literally did head head banging
33:11SPEAKERin the limo on the way to like junior prom.
33:15SPEAKEROK, to that song.
33:16SPEAKERYes, it was a cultural thing.
33:18SPEAKERYes, it was a moment that really penetrated the mainstream consciousness.
33:29SPEAKERDo you ever wear fingerless gloves when you type, Brad?
33:31SPEAKEROh, I'm not that cool.
33:33SPEAKEROh, no, I'm not like wearing like hacker gloves.
33:35SPEAKERIt's not like it's not like I have speed, speed, speed baller.
33:39SPEAKERWhat were those rock band things they gave us at PAX one year?
33:41SPEAKERBlitz, blitz, blitz, blitz.
33:43SPEAKERYeah, everybody's talking about blitz mitts lately.
33:47SPEAKERI don't think I'm not cool enough to wear fingerless gloves in any context.
33:49SPEAKERFortunately, I have I have like wool wool
33:53SPEAKERlike gloves slash convertible mittens that that before we could buy gloves
33:57SPEAKERthat would work with your touch phone, touch screen phone.
34:00SPEAKERYou could use these capacitive gloves.
34:03SPEAKERYeah, well, these are just have a little flap that goes over the finger bits.
34:06SPEAKEROh, I see. So it like turns into mittens.
34:08SPEAKEROh, sure. Sure.
34:09SPEAKERWhy would you wear these while you're typing?
34:12SPEAKERBecause my hands get cold.
34:13SPEAKERWait, shouldn't you shouldn't that be the maximum amount of limber
34:17SPEAKERand like the blood flow kind of situation with your hands?
34:21SPEAKERLook, I have circulation problems.
34:23SPEAKERThe action of typing you think you would think would stimulate the blood flow
34:26SPEAKERand kind of know you'd think that.
34:29SPEAKERBut like it turns out a lot of typing is sitting there
34:31SPEAKERstaring at the screen with your hands resting on the keyboard, not doing anything.
34:35SPEAKERThat's fair.
34:35SPEAKERI feel like maybe if my fingers were going the entire time, I'd be OK.
34:39SPEAKERIt's going to get some hand exercises going.
34:42SPEAKERYeah, but I mean, there's no amount of moving my fingers
34:44SPEAKERthat makes them warm when they get cold.
34:45SPEAKERI have to like sit on them or put them in my in my armpits or something.
34:49SPEAKERI suppose they call them extremities for a reason.
34:57SPEAKERThere was a weird thread on Twitter the other day.
35:01SPEAKERYou don't say I know it's shocking.
35:03SPEAKERThis one wasn't about white supremacy or anything.
35:05SPEAKERSo that was nice. All right.
35:08SPEAKERBut friend of the pod, John Drake was talking about leaving his toaster
35:12SPEAKERon the counter versus putting it under the cabinets when they're done with it.
35:16SPEAKEROK, I'm a toaster out man myself.
35:20SPEAKEROut was always out, out meaning it's just exposed
35:22SPEAKERor like you literally pulled it out onto the counter and left it there.
35:25SPEAKERLook, it's on the counter.
35:26SPEAKERIt's ready to go. If you need something toasted,
35:28SPEAKERI can have it in the toaster ready to go in about three seconds.
35:31SPEAKERThere's no having to plug things in.
35:34SPEAKERThat's that's how I grew up.
35:35SPEAKERWe now, though, own a toaster sleeve of sorts.
35:39SPEAKERWhat's a toaster sleeve?
35:40SPEAKERIt's like that's just a little kind of it's actually embroidered.
35:44SPEAKERIt's a nice little fabric covering.
35:45SPEAKERThey're generic for appliances.
35:47SPEAKERI shouldn't say it's cozy.
35:48SPEAKERI shouldn't say it's toaster specific, but yes, we have cozies for our appliances.
35:52SPEAKERWhat? They're nice.
35:53SPEAKERThey're nice little little fabric coverings that go over things.
35:56SPEAKERYou know, it keeps dust out of there and stuff.
35:58SPEAKERDo you find that toaster dust is a problem?
36:01SPEAKERMy so my our toaster has to not only be pulled out,
36:04SPEAKERbut also unsheathed before it can be used.
36:08SPEAKERWow. You know, ask my we'd have to ask my cohabitant about that.
36:12SPEAKERI was not the one that made the
36:13SPEAKERpurchasing decisions nor the appliance covering decisions, but here we are.
36:17SPEAKERThis is not how I was expecting this one to go.
36:19SPEAKERI mean, I'm not going to lie.
36:20SPEAKERIt's it's actually weird walking into the kitchen
36:23SPEAKERbecause you kind of can't tell what anything is.
36:24SPEAKERAll the appliances are covered underneath fabric coverings.
36:27SPEAKERI mean, look, if somebody breaks into your house
36:29SPEAKERand is trying to steal it, steal like toast to make toast on on your nickel.
36:33SPEAKERThey're trying to figure it out.
36:34SPEAKERIf they only have 30 seconds to figure out what to steal out of the kitchen,
36:37SPEAKERthen, you know, they might end up with the 30 dollar toaster.
36:39SPEAKERThey might end up with the Vitamix.
36:41SPEAKERThere's no telling.
36:42SPEAKERWait, the Vitamix isn't a cozy too?
36:44SPEAKERYes, the Vitamix has a very large cozy.
36:47SPEAKERI'm I just I'm literally speechless here.
36:50SPEAKERWhat's man, you just dress up your kitchen a little bit. What's the problem?
36:53SPEAKERAre they patterns or like do they have the same pattern?
36:56SPEAKERAre they like playing kind of a stitch?
36:57SPEAKERI don't know. I don't know my stitching.
36:59SPEAKERIt might be some sort of a cross stitch pattern or something like that.
37:02SPEAKERFlowers or something on it.
37:04SPEAKEROh, they're actually black.
37:05SPEAKERWe opted for the black ones.
37:07SPEAKERSo it's like kind of classy is what I like to call it.
37:10SPEAKERMetal is what it sounds like.
37:12SPEAKERAre they like bats and stuff embroidered on there?
37:14SPEAKEROh, no, no, no. Design's just a little cross pattern kind of.
37:18SPEAKERI'm fascinated by your house so many times.
37:21SPEAKERI've never noticed this late, late edition, let's say, OK.
37:26SPEAKERIt's wrong. You're covering your plans.
37:27SPEAKERNo, no, I don't think there's like, look, I'm not here to kink shame.
37:30SPEAKERI'm just I just have questions.
37:32SPEAKERDo you do this on the microwave oven, too?
37:33SPEAKERNo, no, certainly not.
37:35SPEAKERThat would just be preposterous.
37:38SPEAKEROK, so the microwave oven is too big.
37:39SPEAKERIt's OK. It's it's it's the toaster.
37:43SPEAKERIt's the electric kettle, which we need to replace because it's kind of busted.
37:47SPEAKERIt's light a mix.
37:48SPEAKERIt's. Gosh, that might be about it.
37:53SPEAKERActually, coffee coffee grinder.
37:54SPEAKERNo, no. The coffee grinder and the coffee pot sit out.
37:58SPEAKERI don't know. You know, now that you mention it, I don't know
38:00SPEAKERwhat the rubric is for whether an appliance could cover it or not.
38:03SPEAKERSeems pretty, pretty willy nilly to me.
38:06SPEAKEROK, so you put your toaster under in a cabinet when you're not using it.
38:10SPEAKERIt's kind of up on a shelf where it would not be convenient.
38:12SPEAKERIt's under. Yeah, it's basically there's something over it
38:15SPEAKERthat that would probably not be a great idea to heat something up right underneath.
38:19SPEAKERSo you have to pull it all the way out and plug it in.
38:21SPEAKERSo, yes, the toaster has to be both pulled out from the wall
38:24SPEAKERand then also uncovered and the whole process.
38:27SPEAKERDo you make a lot of toast?
38:29SPEAKERDo you find yourself toasting?
38:30SPEAKERGiven everything I've just said, maybe not as much as you would think.
38:39SPEAKERI put something on the list, I don't remember what I meant now,
38:42SPEAKERbut it's a topic of interest.
38:44SPEAKERJust I just go with it, man. Just read the words and let them kind of sink
38:47SPEAKERinto your brain and then see what comes out.
38:49SPEAKERYou got stuff you consistently mess up, even though you know
38:52SPEAKERyou're going to mess it up. Like I can't spell balloon.
38:54SPEAKERIt turns out. Wait, really?
38:56SPEAKERYeah, I always think there's one L one.
38:58SPEAKERI was going to say that that's the common error on balloon, right?
39:01SPEAKERIs just one. Yeah, you never do 101.
39:04SPEAKERIt's like Millennium.
39:05SPEAKERIt's Millennium. Millennium is a rough one for me.
39:07SPEAKERIt's two L's and two N's, right?
39:08SPEAKERI always have to.
39:10SPEAKERI think like Millennium and Renaissance, I think are two
39:13SPEAKERwhere I have a hard time of like, OK, Millennium's got two N's.
39:16SPEAKERRenaissance has only got one, except actually there's another one at the end.
39:18SPEAKERBut that's not what we're talking about.
39:20SPEAKERLike Millennium worked out because I had I was in
39:22SPEAKERI was working and had to do a lot of Y2K stuff.
39:25SPEAKERThen you got good at spelling Millennium. Yeah.
39:28SPEAKERAnd I guess I was at R's then, too.
39:30SPEAKERSo we wrote about it a lot.
39:31SPEAKERBut Millennium I'm OK on.
39:33SPEAKERBut balloon, for whatever reason, I always want to do one L.
39:35SPEAKERThere's just something about the neurons where that that word is nestled
39:38SPEAKERin your brain is just not quite there.
39:40SPEAKERThey don't quite fit together right. Mediterranean is another one for me.
39:43SPEAKERThat's a tough one.
39:44SPEAKERMediterranean I have a real hard time with.
39:47SPEAKERTallahassee. That one doesn't come up that much.
39:49SPEAKERBut it turns out it's hard to spell.
39:50SPEAKERT-A-L-L-A-H-A-S-S-E.
39:54SPEAKERSure. Let's go with it.
39:55SPEAKERYeah, I think that sounds great.
39:56SPEAKERYou're doing better than anybody from Florida would.
39:59SPEAKERDid you ever do any spelling bees?
40:02SPEAKERYep. I won one.
40:04SPEAKERI won the citywide one in sixth grade.
40:06SPEAKERVery nice. Wow.
40:07SPEAKERI got an abridged Britannica dictionary.
40:10SPEAKERIt's three volumes. It's in my it's my it's in my garage.
40:14SPEAKERYou still have it?
40:15SPEAKERIt's it is. It's hefty.
40:17SPEAKERYou could kill somebody with this.
40:18SPEAKERIt's three books and each of them weighs about 15 pounds.
40:20SPEAKERThey're enormous.
40:21SPEAKERThat's really something.
40:23SPEAKERI was runner up in the county spelling bee and I think seventh grade.
40:26SPEAKEROh, that's the tough one.
40:28SPEAKERI was in fifth grade, so it was an easier competition back then.
40:30SPEAKERYou know what knocked me out?
40:32SPEAKERWhat did you lose on?
40:33SPEAKERTariff. Oh, one R, two R's.
40:37SPEAKERI think I I think I went with two R's and in fact, it was one.
40:40SPEAKERI the seventh grade spelling bee I missed.
40:43SPEAKERI bounced out at the end of the of the school level on sausage.
40:49SPEAKERReally? Two S's?
40:50SPEAKERI spelled it like sauce.
40:51SPEAKERNo. Oh, wow.
40:52SPEAKERS-A-U-C-E. Oh, interesting.
40:54SPEAKERYeah, it was it was it haunted me for 40 years.
40:58SPEAKERWow. That's yes.
40:59SPEAKERI could see how that might stick with you.
41:01SPEAKERI love sausage so much and I couldn't spell it.
41:07SPEAKERDo you have any like terrible games like I sometimes get into mobile games
41:15SPEAKERthat I know are awful and bad for me and I can't stop playing them.
41:20SPEAKERAnd then I like get to a point where I want to break the economy
41:23SPEAKERand never put money into them, but keep playing the free to play game.
41:26SPEAKEROh, that kind of terrible.
41:27SPEAKERI was going to say, have you heard of Ballin Wonderworld?
41:30SPEAKERNo, I actually have heard of it.
41:32SPEAKERI haven't watched anything about it yet, so I just know that it's not worth talking about.
41:36SPEAKERIt's not the it's not the so bad you have to keep playing a type of game.
41:39SPEAKERIt's just the so bad that you shouldn't play it.
41:41SPEAKERSo, you know, you know those ads where you see the little guy
41:44SPEAKERand he's standing there is gems and water and lava and like the ad that they slide
41:48SPEAKERthe the bars so that the lava and the gems and the waterfall
41:51SPEAKERand you have to do it in the right order.
41:52SPEAKERI saw those for a long time.
41:54SPEAKERI was like, I like that kind of game. That looks like a fun thing.
41:57SPEAKERSo I downloaded Ebony online, Brad.
41:59SPEAKEROh, boy. Oh, boy. I've seen those ads.
42:03SPEAKERDon't download Ebony online.
42:05SPEAKERWhat are you doing? Look, look, I'm a lord now.
42:09SPEAKERI'm not. Are you are you titled or you landowning?
42:13SPEAKERI have I have two realms.
42:15SPEAKERI'm like level twenty three.
42:17SPEAKERHave you become the landed gentry?
42:18SPEAKERI've probably put a hundred hours into this, but no money. Wow. Yeah.
42:25SPEAKERBut but here's the thing.
42:26SPEAKERI mean, this is over a year, probably.
42:28SPEAKERI've been doing this for a long time now.
42:30SPEAKERYou've been you've been harboring this foul secret for a year.
42:33SPEAKERLook, I am. I got kind of I've stopped playing.
42:36SPEAKERI'm off of it now.
42:37SPEAKERI've been clean for like a month.
42:40SPEAKERBut but the bummer is that the part of that game
42:43SPEAKERthat's interesting, the weird slide puzzles,
42:46SPEAKERyou only get to do like one of those a level.
42:48SPEAKERSo I've played this for a hundred hours.
42:49SPEAKERI've only done like 20 of those.
42:53SPEAKERAnd the rest of the game is just me getting crushed by people
42:57SPEAKERwho put presumably thousands of dollars into this thing
43:00SPEAKERbecause like you have a map and you have a little town.
43:03SPEAKERAnd I have to be with my group of people.
43:05SPEAKERAnd I'm in a clan or guild or whatever.
43:08SPEAKERBut every once in a while, like my army is like hundreds of thousands strong.
43:14SPEAKERAnd every once in a while, some chud from someplace else in the world
43:16SPEAKERwill be like, I just want to come mess up your stuff
43:20SPEAKERand then reset all your timers because it's a timer game, of course.
43:24SPEAKERAnd they just come in with an army that's like seventy five million
43:26SPEAKERthat just blows me away.
43:28SPEAKERYeah. Look, I mean, I did my time with Clash Royale.
43:30SPEAKERI am well acquainted with that feeling of being destroyed by somebody
43:33SPEAKERwho paid a lot of money.
43:34SPEAKERClash Royale seems seemed winnable, though, like that seemed like
43:37SPEAKERif you had the right strategy, there's no strategy here.
43:40SPEAKEROn a level playing field, absolutely.
43:41SPEAKERBut, you know, there's the part where like their archers
43:44SPEAKERare just stronger than your archers because they paid to level them up.
43:47SPEAKERYeah. And this is more volume like they have.
43:50SPEAKEROK, you have 50000 archers and they have two million archers.
43:53SPEAKERAnd you're like, oh, look, at the end of the day,
43:55SPEAKERsomebody's numbers are always bigger than somebody else's numbers.
44:00SPEAKERBrad, I got to ask you about something's changed in your room
44:07SPEAKERover the last several months. Go ahead.
44:10SPEAKERYou had the Sin City poster behind you for a really long time,
44:13SPEAKERand that's a fine film, but this is a new film.
44:15SPEAKERIt's fine. Yes.
44:17SPEAKERA new challenger has entered the fray.
44:18SPEAKERUh huh. Yes.
44:19SPEAKERYou have a Revenge of the Sith poster up there behind you now, I noticed.
44:23SPEAKERYou might say it was the original challenger.
44:25SPEAKERI believe it's the poster I bought that frame for.
44:28SPEAKERBut where how?
44:31SPEAKERI have a series of questions. Oh, boy.
44:35SPEAKERWhen did you get a Revenge of the Sith poster in 2000?
44:40SPEAKERLet's say six ish, probably
44:42SPEAKERmaybe five from the person I knew who managed a movie theater
44:46SPEAKERand gave me the one sheet from the movie theater that they had.
44:48SPEAKERSo is it like which of the characters represented on this poster
44:53SPEAKERspoke to you in such a way that you were like, I'm going to turn this into art.
44:57SPEAKERI'm trying to head you off at the pass here and say, hey, that may or Anakin,
45:00SPEAKERthat's what we want.
45:01SPEAKERIt's one of those high dollar one sheets
45:03SPEAKERstraight from the theater that people pay a lot of money for.
45:05SPEAKERAnd when I got one for free, I was like, oh, you know what? I'll pay that.
45:07SPEAKERI live across the street from a frame store.
45:09SPEAKERI'll go buy a 40 by 27 frame and put this movie poster in it
45:13SPEAKERfor this film.
45:15SPEAKERThis major motion picture that was released to theaters
45:18SPEAKERcalled Star Wars 3 features Anakin prominently.
45:21SPEAKERThat's all I'm saying. It sure does. It sure does.
45:23SPEAKERLook, what do you want me to say?
45:25SPEAKERThis might roll back around. This might work out for you,
45:27SPEAKERbecause like Disney's doing this thing where they where they release new series
45:30SPEAKERthat retcon the bad franchise entries.
45:33SPEAKERYou know, the Obi-Wan series is on the way.
45:34SPEAKERHayden Christensen is getting his due.
45:37SPEAKERHe's on his way back to prominence.
45:38SPEAKERYeah, I like to think we've got a redemption arc for him now.
45:42SPEAKERFinally, I mean, you'll notice that originally
45:46SPEAKERthere was a regular old ass Star Wars poster in that frame.
45:49SPEAKERYeah, I saw Star Wars.
45:51SPEAKERYeah. So I bought that poster to cover up the Revenge of the Sith poster.
45:54SPEAKEROriginally, that was literally put it on top of it.
45:56SPEAKERNo, it was in a tube, but OK.
45:59SPEAKERWell, to replace, I should say, like, why did you bust this shame back out?
46:03SPEAKERReally? It's just really, yeah.
46:04SPEAKERWe're just kind of illustrating the phases of my life here where
46:07SPEAKERyou seem very uncomfortable talking about this, by the way.
46:09SPEAKERI'm sorry. Years ago or so I put it in a frame because I was like, cool.
46:12SPEAKERI got a poster from a movie theater that's pretty special and exclusive.
46:15SPEAKERAnd then at some point I was like, I'd be embarrassed for that to be there.
46:17SPEAKERI'm going to put a different Star Wars poster up there.
46:20SPEAKERNow we have wrapped back around where I feel comfortable
46:24SPEAKERreturning Revenge of the Sith to its rightful place on the wall.
46:28SPEAKERWhat are you? So what are you going to replace the Sin City with then?
46:30SPEAKERLike a poster or something?
46:31SPEAKERNothing. Nothing. Those are the two.
46:34SPEAKERThose are the two one sheets.
46:35SPEAKEROh, you know what? I take it back.
46:36SPEAKERI found a Batman Begins one in the tube recently.
46:39SPEAKERThat that one also came from a theater, apparently.
46:42SPEAKERBatman Begins. That that came from the from the whiskey stash, I think.
46:46SPEAKERI recall. Oh, I might have fished that out of that.
46:47SPEAKEROK, well, everybody knew everybody there.
46:49SPEAKERSome of those might have come from that theater originally and ended up there.
46:52SPEAKERI'm not sure. Well, maybe they got mailed in. I don't know.
46:55SPEAKERAnyway, that begins is a legit good film like Batman forever.
46:59SPEAKERI would take I would take a Batman forever.
47:01SPEAKERI, you know, Batman and Robin, maybe I would say that
47:05SPEAKERthis Revenge of the Sith poster has been eliciting exactly the reaction that I want.
47:10SPEAKEROK. Do people notice now that room is on camera a lot?
47:14SPEAKERI guess people definitely notice.
47:16SPEAKERPeople make a lot of weird assumptions about you
47:18SPEAKERbased on the things they see about you on the Internet.
47:21SPEAKERIt turns out, yeah, I mean, you are a well-known Star Wars fan.
47:24SPEAKERFor example, if you have a Sin City poster on the wall,
47:27SPEAKERthey probably assume that you love Sin City.
47:30SPEAKERAnd not you just got that poster from a theater
47:33SPEAKERand you saw the movie once and thought it was fine and whatever.
47:36SPEAKERBut it's cool to have a movie poster on the wall.
47:38SPEAKERWell, look in the in the in 2021, the shit you put behind your Zoom
47:43SPEAKERbackground is is like the only form of self-identity expression we have left.
47:48SPEAKERSo I get it. I get it. Yeah, I just you know, I'm just trying to remind people,
47:52SPEAKERhey, there's always something more going on than meets the eye, you know.
47:55SPEAKEROK, my I don't want to give this away.
47:59SPEAKERNot like it's the most radically original idea ever.
48:01SPEAKERBut what I would really like to do.
48:04SPEAKERYeah. Is just hang two big pieces of green poster board in those frames.
48:09SPEAKERYeah. And then I can have whatever movie posters I want.
48:12SPEAKERWe did that. Did you?
48:14SPEAKERYeah, we that was that was the background.
48:17SPEAKERWas it the background that they used for screened on the wall in the basement?
48:21SPEAKERDid they do that?
48:22SPEAKERI feel like we at some point I pulled a green framed
48:27SPEAKERmovie poster size frame out of storage. Shit.
48:31SPEAKERI should have just stolen that.
48:33SPEAKERYeah, that would have saved you a lot of time.
48:34SPEAKERWe keep poster board and do it in about five minutes.
48:36SPEAKERYeah, it would be easy.
48:37SPEAKERI mean, the two things stopping me are like I've got a nice camera
48:40SPEAKERwith some depth of field on it now.
48:41SPEAKERSo like I would have to figure out how to like blur that image
48:44SPEAKERto match my actual blurry background.
48:47SPEAKERYou know what I mean? Oh, yeah.
48:48SPEAKERLike it would stand out.
48:49SPEAKERIt would look really weird and unnatural if I didn't do that,
48:52SPEAKERwhich might be a little more effort than maybe even better.
48:55SPEAKERI might be a little more effort than I want to.
48:56SPEAKERI guess you can eyeball it, right?
48:57SPEAKERIf like the dude, if the backgrounds all like
48:59SPEAKERbouqueted out nicely and always in the poster,
49:02SPEAKERlike a couple of really jankily green screened in posters,
49:05SPEAKERthat sends a real message.
49:06SPEAKERSo actually, maybe that's not the worst idea.
49:08SPEAKERThe other thing is like, you know, when you're in the room,
49:11SPEAKERwhen you're not streaming, like it's kind of an eyesore,
49:13SPEAKERlike it's not the nicest thing to look at.
49:15SPEAKERWe got to get the AR glasses.
49:17SPEAKEROh, I see. OK, just never, never not be chroma
49:20SPEAKERkeying is what you're saying.
49:28SPEAKERShould we explain what this was at the end,
49:29SPEAKERjust in case people didn't get it?
49:31SPEAKERI think that's probably wise.
49:32SPEAKEROK, I think we should.
49:33SPEAKERI think we're doing that right now.
49:35SPEAKEROh, OK. All right. Here we are.
49:37SPEAKERHey, so we wanted to do something fun and goofy.
49:40SPEAKERAnd also this week has been really challenging for reasons
49:43SPEAKERthat we don't need to get into for both of us.
49:46SPEAKERSo we just did all we did.
49:48SPEAKEROops, all cold opens.
49:49SPEAKERI hope you enjoyed, which which I had originally planned
49:52SPEAKERto make the title of this episode,
49:53SPEAKERand we'll see by the time this goes out, what it's actually called.
49:56SPEAKERYou think you seem to think that springing this on people was a better idea?
50:01SPEAKERYou think you do or don't?
50:02SPEAKERNo, I don't know. I'm undecided.
50:04SPEAKERWe'll find out.
50:05SPEAKERI think we only get a chance to spring it on them once.
50:07SPEAKERNow they'll be expecting it.
50:08SPEAKERSo, yeah, I'm not I'm torn on whether this was a successful experiment or not.
50:13SPEAKERWell, we'll let us know in the in the emails.
50:17SPEAKERThe email address is techpod@content.town or in the Discord.
50:20SPEAKERIf you're a techpod premium Patreon member.
50:23SPEAKERYes. You know, I hope it goes without saying that we also
50:26SPEAKERor we always want to know what people think of stuff like.
50:29SPEAKERIt's always it's always nice to know if you don't like something.
50:33SPEAKERSo we don't do it again.
50:34SPEAKERYeah. Please let us know if you thought this was stupid or bad
50:37SPEAKERand we won't do it again.
50:39SPEAKERI mean, like with one person complains, probably we'll do it again.
50:43SPEAKERBut if a bazillion people complain, we will we'll take that under advisement.
50:46SPEAKERWell, we'll take the temperature. Yeah.
50:49SPEAKERBut yeah, I think our what did we decide the collective
50:52SPEAKERnoun was challenge, a challenge of cold opens.
50:55SPEAKERI don't know about that.
50:56SPEAKERI thought a block.
50:58SPEAKERNo, too generic.
51:00SPEAKERChrysanthemum, you're just trying to get that alliteration in there, huh?
51:02SPEAKERI love alliteration.
51:03SPEAKERThe cavalcade cavalcade is pretty good.
51:05SPEAKERCornucopia, the cornucopia.
51:09SPEAKERThis was a bounty of cold opens.
51:11SPEAKERThat's right.

52:04SPEAKERto talk to people about is my experience.
52:07SPEAKERYou know, one thing that's fun about it is if you have a wide range of interests,

54:25SPEAKERWelcome to Brad and Will Made a Tech Pod.
54:28SPEAKERI'm Will. Wait, hang on. I thought we weren't doing that.
