here. Uh, this episode, the rest of it, it's

00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:03.140
like WTF. yeah like pretty bad like yeah pretty

00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:09.780
much so i think it's only appropriate to start

00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:16.480
off with the the sad stuff go to the wtf like

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:22.140
why moment commentary and then go to uh animation

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:34.819
side of Yeah. So. Oh, boy. So we've had a lot

00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:41.019
of celebrities pass away here recently. And the

00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:49.159
three or more. Can I count it after? Apparently

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:57.219
at almost midnight. And I can't. Five that I'm

00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:00.359
going to highlight. Robert Duvall, James Van

00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.920
Der Beek, Brad Arnold, Jesse Jackson, and Scott

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.680
Adams. We will go over these really quickly individually.

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.400
And looking forth like we always do. Only because

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.099
he's the first on my screen right now. Brad Arnold

00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:24.330
was the lead singer and longest. tenured founding

00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:27.189
member of the hard rock band three doors down

00:02:27.189 --> 00:02:31.490
i actually got to see three doors down in the

00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:36.009
year 2003 back in little kentucky i've seen them

00:02:36.009 --> 00:02:46.150
too yeah oh cool awesome yeah i saw them uh was

00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:52.090
it i think it was 2005 or 2006 i saw them i think

00:02:52.090 --> 00:02:56.189
they were playing with either nickelback or yeah

00:02:56.189 --> 00:02:59.509
that's yeah they played with nickelback right

00:02:59.509 --> 00:03:04.050
they they played before yeah usually they were

00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:07.129
headlining for nickelback in in those days uh

00:03:07.129 --> 00:03:11.110
that was right it was too much that would probably

00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:13.210
be the all the right reasons tour for nickelback

00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:15.909
because that was that album cycle yep uh when

00:03:15.909 --> 00:03:21.379
i saw them they were doing um they were They

00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:26.400
were the headliners in 2003. So the reason why

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.159
they were is because they were doing whichever

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.379
album cycle for them for Three Doors Down. And

00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:36.180
Twelve Stones, along with Theory of a Dead Man,

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:40.560
were their openers. And I had known the lead

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.400
singer and the drummer of Twelve Stones because

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:50.280
they had been. in miss i was there around that

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.379
time etc etc etc so when i got back up to louisville

00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:56.000
and i knew that they were going to be playing

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.840
at this place and i was like oh awesome cool

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.240
so i had gone out and i had seen them and just

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.099
genuinely awesome dude very very cool uh it's

00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:12.919
sucks just absolutely sucks he had been fighting

00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:22.009
cancer i believe which just really f cancer so

00:04:22.009 --> 00:04:27.829
brad recently passed away uh and then we had

00:04:27.829 --> 00:04:38.310
and we had wish they would organize these better

00:04:38.310 --> 00:04:44.990
i was looking for there we go so scott adams

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.740
was the cartoonist and dilbert creator scott

00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:54.899
adams died on january 13th um that's why i wanted

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:57.660
to bring him up really quick uh have you ever

00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:02.399
read the comic strip dilbert yeah it's been a

00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.100
long time yeah no it's fine it's been a long

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:07.079
time but you've read it in the past yeah so it's

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.480
that guy uh and just absolutely love dilbert

00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.319
when i've read it before and just man just Yeah.

00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:20.100
And then recently, just without having to look

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:26.240
at NIMDB or any of this other stuff, Jesse Jackson

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:37.459
was a civil rights leader and all that, so he

00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:43.910
will be missed. So that sucks, absolutely. And

00:05:43.910 --> 00:05:49.970
then Robert Duvall. Oh, man, Robert Duvall. I

00:05:49.970 --> 00:05:56.470
can think of things off the top of my head. Days

00:05:56.470 --> 00:05:59.930
of Thunder, Phenomenon, and Gone in 60 Seconds.

00:06:01.430 --> 00:06:04.449
Days of Thunder, he played Harry Hogg. Phenomenon,

00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:10.800
he played the old Doc. Gone in 60 seconds, he

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:19.699
played Otto. Otto Halliwell. I didn't realize

00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:22.079
at the time when the news came out of Robert's

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:27.220
passing that he was 95. So I guess the man lived

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:29.920
a full life, but we always hate, like, anytime

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.160
we've always, in the last 17, 16, 17 years we've

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.920
been doing this podcast network thing, anytime

00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.740
we see any of these celebrity deaths, It's like,

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.860
God, we got to talk about this. We got to go

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:44.699
through their filmography. We got to remember

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.720
them. And then we look at like either what they

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.680
died of or how old they were when they died.

00:06:50.699 --> 00:06:53.600
And we're like, he was that young or he was that

00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.680
old. I didn't realize he was that old. Ball was

00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.120
one of those for me where it was like, he was

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:09.610
95. He didn't look 95. Any thoughts on any of

00:07:09.610 --> 00:07:14.829
these before I move on to the final? No, I mean,

00:07:14.829 --> 00:07:19.269
it it just. Some of them, some of the midgets

00:07:19.269 --> 00:07:23.769
in general, like just seeing it. Yeah. It just

00:07:23.769 --> 00:07:29.290
it's just showing that we're aging faster. Yeah,

00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:34.170
pretty much, unfortunately. Unfortunately, unfortunately.

00:07:35.050 --> 00:07:38.879
Yeah, we're all going to go. Yep, we're going

00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:45.699
to die. Did you really have to say it in the

00:07:45.699 --> 00:07:48.839
video? Really? You had to say it in the video

00:07:48.839 --> 00:08:05.139
game, you asshat. But yeah, it's just not. And

00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:08.899
then the last one was James Van Der Beek, who

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:16.420
passed on... When did he pass? He passed on...

00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:22.699
If I can find him now... Recently. There we go.

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.079
Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek passed

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.639
on February 11th, so two days after my birthday.

00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.379
um battle with oh god here we go again between

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:38.240
brad arnold and james vanderbeek they were both

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.059
fighting a each a different type of cancer so

00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:48.000
i say again f cancer and i mean james vanderbeek

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.279
that dude you know whether it was dawson's creek

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.039
or whether it was the movies he starred in whatever

00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:05.659
it was However you knew him, he's something you

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:10.440
saw him in. It didn't matter what it was. It

00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:18.320
really didn't. I mean, he was on Robot Chicken

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.440
for various voices. He was in Criminal Minds.

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.539
This is after Dawson's Creek. Because Dawson's

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:29.809
Creek ran from 98 to 2003. He was in Robot Chicken

00:09:29.809 --> 00:09:36.250
in 2006. He was on One Tree Hill for four episodes.

00:09:36.330 --> 00:09:42.370
I didn't even know that. He was in Law and Order

00:09:42.370 --> 00:09:47.830
Criminal Intent for an episode. No clue of that.

00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:53.929
And his films, for me, very easy. Very, very

00:09:53.929 --> 00:09:57.870
easy. Uh, varsity blues, J and silent Bob strike

00:09:57.870 --> 00:10:05.190
back and J and silent Bob reboot. So yeah, very,

00:10:05.429 --> 00:10:11.269
he will be missed. They will all be missed. Uh,

00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:19.110
it just stinks. Just absolutely stinks. Sadly.

00:10:19.250 --> 00:10:24.470
Yep. And we're not even that far into 2026. that's

00:10:24.470 --> 00:10:28.029
what i was like wait a minute how dare you like

00:10:28.029 --> 00:10:32.610
how dare you take we're not even two months in

00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:38.870
and all the death toll is up there like yikes

00:10:38.870 --> 00:10:49.850
all right what's next so so moving on a little

00:10:49.850 --> 00:10:52.509
bit uh because i'm going to save the uh highlight

00:10:52.509 --> 00:10:58.259
for the end uh since we're on the topic of the

00:10:58.259 --> 00:11:07.139
deceased uh yeah yeah and i'll probably insert

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:10.539
some of these clips in the episode for reference

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:13.200
like at the end or at least a link or something

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.360
i don't know i there's there's a tech guy on

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.360
on youtube that i pay attention to and he talks

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:29.420
about different technology and stuff and the

00:11:29.420 --> 00:11:34.100
fact Facebook has patented an AI that lets you

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:39.220
keep posting from beyond the grave saying dead

00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:44.779
isn't the end no thank you dead is the end so

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:50.700
it's solely based on training AI to post as if

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:57.269
your loved one is still among you and no don't

00:11:57.269 --> 00:12:01.929
stop my thoughts my my thought is if i've stopped

00:12:01.929 --> 00:12:09.509
posting delete my account exactly yeah it's like

00:12:09.509 --> 00:12:13.509
i get it like they've been they've all been training

00:12:13.509 --> 00:12:15.169
on i mean they're not going to get squat for

00:12:15.169 --> 00:12:23.649
me because right i don't ever post on but Yeah,

00:12:23.669 --> 00:12:25.870
they're saying that the language model may be

00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:28.350
used for simulating the user when the user is

00:12:28.350 --> 00:12:30.970
absent from social networking system for when

00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:33.590
the user takes a long break. The user is deceased.

00:12:35.009 --> 00:12:41.330
Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. So remember

00:12:41.330 --> 00:12:47.049
live free or die hard? Yeah. Remember that delete

00:12:47.049 --> 00:12:50.889
key? Remember that delete key command? And when

00:12:50.889 --> 00:12:54.860
he hits... delete key or explode that's what

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:57.179
uh -huh that that that's what needs to happen

00:12:57.179 --> 00:13:00.320
when i die whoever hits the delete key as long

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.679
as it's safe for them to do so as long as it

00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.720
doesn't explode in their face that's what my

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.740
computer needs to do whatever universal delete

00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:13.460
key there is for my computer to blow up and information

00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:17.299
go bye -bye that's what needs to happen like

00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:22.110
no don't and stop this is stupid as hell like

00:13:22.110 --> 00:13:29.549

Facebook. She couldn't figure it out. And she

00:13:44.330 --> 00:13:47.129
got frustrated and deleted her account and she

00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:49.830
never wanted to be back on it again. But if she

00:13:49.830 --> 00:13:52.669
had kept up with it and whatever else and learned

00:13:52.669 --> 00:13:57.190
it and whatever, and she had died in what she

00:13:57.190 --> 00:14:02.129

game. And then we go from there. If I could afford

00:15:25.769 --> 00:15:30.399
number one. For me, and I've said this on many

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.940
of the other podcasts, whether it's this show

00:15:32.940 --> 00:15:38.759
or other podcasts that we do, besides cost, the

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.860
biggest stopping point for me owning a PS5 or

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:49.100
an Xbox dumbass number gold disc, whatever, XSXX

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:56.659
or XXX or quadruple 17X, whatever. controllers

00:15:56.659 --> 00:16:00.679
i can't do one -handed gaming with their controllers

00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.659
i just can't that's my biggest stopping point

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:08.539
to owning a console this day to this day today

00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:13.440
outside of cost now if they made a controller

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:19.200
similar to ps2 or something like that i the only

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.519
thing stopping me would be cost now if that was

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:28.080
the case And then cost was no longer an issue.

00:16:28.340 --> 00:16:31.460
I would want to own it outright. Let me buy the

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:36.820
damn thing. Let me own it. Well, it's this. This

00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:39.519
is one of those things that I've had fun with.

00:16:42.659 --> 00:16:52.159
The. For instance, as I mentioned off air, I

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.899
was trying out, you know, Overwatch. as a game

00:16:56.899 --> 00:17:01.159
which is blizzard and yeah pretty much every

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.039
over the last like i don't know 10 15 years has

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.700
more or less you to be connected to the internet

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:14.000
to play it and i have a real problem with that

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.920
for multiple reasons for one you can't get any

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.380
of the high moon studio transformer games anymore

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:26.430
yeah at all online like unless you're buying

00:17:26.430 --> 00:17:30.349
a used disc somewhere for a game console like

00:17:30.349 --> 00:17:33.170
the pc edition you can't get it i have it you

00:17:33.170 --> 00:17:38.069
can't get it um that's all i'm going to go into

00:17:38.069 --> 00:17:46.150
there um they also it's impossible to get unreal

00:17:46.150 --> 00:17:51.390
tournament it's on literally like epic games

00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.640
literally does not have the game like it's their

00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.279
game yeah or the unreal engine you know they

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.400
they tried to remake the game in 2017 with like

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:11.720
an alpha copy and it moved faster than any first

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.099
person shooter that's out it was literally unreal

00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:24.390
how fast this thing moved like If you thought

00:18:24.390 --> 00:18:26.470
you were getting a panic attack from movement

00:18:26.470 --> 00:18:30.630
in any of the modern games, this one would make

00:18:30.630 --> 00:18:35.210
you like this. Like if you took it, you downed

00:18:35.210 --> 00:18:39.349
like a bunch of monster energy drinks and like

00:18:39.349 --> 00:18:43.529
a two liter of Mountain Dew and a Red Bull. And

00:18:43.529 --> 00:18:48.819
then you smoked crack. Like. I'm just trying

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:51.319
to make this as, like, vivid as possible. Like,

00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:54.240
this game moves so fast that your hands would

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.799
hurt. And, like, you'd have a panic attack between

00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.279
rounds. Like, I kid you not. Like, I played it,

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:07.579
and I was really good at it. And bad at it. But

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:13.640
the point was, I could... The game just basically

00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.700
unleashed the beast in you. Well, yeah, and then

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:21.119
I was playing Overwatch, and I'm like, man, they

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.000
move so slow. I'm like, they're so clunky. Like,

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:29.259
there's Nash. There's no, like, I'm like, come

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:31.500
on, man. Like, yeah, you have a special move

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:34.160
you can use twice to, like, kind of speed run

00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.240
or speed jump or something. Yeah. Almost like

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.759
the speed dash type thing, but it's, like, timed

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.980
out, so you can only use it so often. And I'm

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:46.539
like, this is lame. I'm like, I remember being

00:19:46.539 --> 00:19:50.720
able to just like run in games. They don't let

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:55.579
you run. And no, like I could play Battlefield

00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:58.500
and run. So it's I was just like, what is this?

00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:04.599
Like you can run in Fortnite. Yeah. But it moves

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.240
fast, but it's also like a bunch of extra mechanics

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.119
that I'm like, I'm not interested in that. And

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.579
then I was like, well, I'm going to try Overwatch

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:14.740
and see how this works. And. I was like, it does

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:19.559
move pretty slow. I'm decent at it. But again,

00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:22.539
it's like I would much rather play Unreal Tournament.

00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.200
And I have the discs like I have Unreal Tournament

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.859
2004. I have the original Unreal Tournament and

00:20:30.859 --> 00:20:35.519
I have Unreal Tournament three. All of which

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:39.980
I bought the games to and. Right. Again. you

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:42.200
cannot get it you cannot get it on steam you

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.240
cannot get it on anything like a few years ago

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.039
they had it on steam but all of the like it's

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.200
completely disappeared from the face of the internet

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.880
like you cannot get it and so the only way you

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.359
could logistically get it at this point is illegally

00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.440
and unless you happen to come across a used disc

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:04.420
somewhere or you had a console that had it and

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:08.500
So this is this is again, this will come into

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:13.259
play later, too, but. That's why it's better

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:18.119
to own the stuff. Yep. Rather than depending

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.980
on these services that will, you know, I give

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:23.140
it, I take it away. You will own nothing and

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:27.920
be happy about it. Yep. Kind of like the the

00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:35.119
other. Clip from. From Instagram about, you know.

00:21:35.529 --> 00:21:37.509
where we have to have a subscription for everything

00:21:37.509 --> 00:21:40.789
you know have it for the computer have it for

00:21:40.789 --> 00:21:42.630
microsoft have it you know you have to have a

00:21:42.630 --> 00:21:45.309
microsoft to use microsoft windows now you have

00:21:45.309 --> 00:21:47.349
to have a subscription to use word you have to

00:21:47.349 --> 00:21:50.029
have a subscription to use you know literally

00:21:50.029 --> 00:21:54.950
everything it's like and then they and you know

00:21:54.950 --> 00:21:56.849
and then microsoft of course is bundling like

00:21:56.849 --> 00:22:01.950
copilot like it's like don't you need your ai

00:22:01.950 --> 00:22:06.420
drug dealer no like it's like dude i don't need

00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:10.259
ai and notepad it's like i literally didn't ask

00:22:10.259 --> 00:22:15.279
for they they completely redid notepad so it's

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:20.720
got tabs now it will it it tells you off oh it

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.980
gets better uh it's got spell checking it now

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:27.920
which i'm like okay whatever that's fine yeah

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:31.259
they've got the little microsoft cog thing so

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:33.759
you can change the theme you can you know you

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.660
can open a new tab you can have when notepad

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:40.859
starts continue previous session or start new

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:43.119
session discard changes you can have it open

00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.759
recent files you can have a spell check and autocorrect

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.859
you can also have copilot turned on which they

00:22:49.859 --> 00:22:53.680
found out that people were able to use copilot

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:58.660
to exploit parts of windows Because most of it's,

00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:03.460
you know, written with Copilot. I used a power

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:06.119
plug in like a PowerShell plug in to essentially

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:12.319
neuter. Windows of all AI capabilities. Unless

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.140
I specifically put them on my computer. Oh, wow.

00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:25.210
So like I know notepad no longer has AI. Most

00:23:25.210 --> 00:23:27.289
of my computer does not because it also runs.

00:23:27.950 --> 00:23:30.849
But yeah, this this video was was nuts because

00:23:30.849 --> 00:23:33.549
it's like this. This chick was talking about,

00:23:33.589 --> 00:23:37.470
you know, the fact that. Yeah. You know, they're

00:23:37.470 --> 00:23:40.930
essentially forcing you. They're forcing you

00:23:40.930 --> 00:23:43.549
to pay for something that used to be for free.

00:23:43.630 --> 00:23:48.289
Like, OK, it wasn't technically free. I'm trying

00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:52.069
to think. OK, the last time I remember, this

00:23:52.069 --> 00:23:56.480
is how I'll frame this. The last time I remember

00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:01.200
something that I needed to buy to install on

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.960
my computer that was software that I had to buy

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:08.660
that I could own was Microsoft Office Suite 2007.

00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:14.960
Microsoft Word 2007. I still have the disk with

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:18.109
the key. The CD and everything in my closet,

00:24:18.210 --> 00:24:22.430
Microsoft Word 2007. That's the last time I remember

00:24:22.430 --> 00:24:26.210
software I had to actually buy to install on

00:24:26.210 --> 00:24:35.210
my computer. Okay. So when, like, yeah, I just

00:24:35.210 --> 00:24:38.450
want to be able to buy that and install it. I

00:24:38.450 --> 00:24:41.150
don't want to have to pay. Why should I pay you?

00:24:42.150 --> 00:24:47.829
Like, that's a. costs that i put into my budget

00:24:47.829 --> 00:24:52.390
for my computer versus having to pay microsoft

00:24:52.390 --> 00:24:58.029
9 .99 a month or a hundred dollars a year or

00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:00.970
whatever it is for the rest of my life and the

00:25:00.970 --> 00:25:03.369
rest of my life at this point let's just be optimistic

00:25:03.369 --> 00:25:07.329
let's say i'm 46 now let's say i have another

00:25:07.329 --> 00:25:12.579
good 40 years left so 86 just Off the top of

00:25:12.579 --> 00:25:15.799
my head, maybe. I don't know. I'm just saying,

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.420
folks, I really don't want to be spending. I

00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:21.160
really don't want to be paying Microsoft a hundred

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:24.920
bucks a year for the next four. Really? Seriously?

00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.119
Like, let me buy something once or let me buy

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.880
a lifetime license. What happened to that kind

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:38.160
of stuff online for downloadable content? Like

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:45.789
we used to be able to buy that. I'm going to

00:25:45.789 --> 00:25:49.430
start cursing again and I don't want to. Yeah.

00:25:49.549 --> 00:25:53.950
The stuff's just infuriating. They nickel and

00:25:53.950 --> 00:25:55.930
dime you to death and it's going to kill us.

00:25:56.269 --> 00:26:00.369
The software stuff is going to kill us financially.

00:26:01.710 --> 00:26:11.670
It just is. Nope. I agree with you. annoying

00:26:11.670 --> 00:26:18.549
so then yes there's there's also the other the

00:26:18.549 --> 00:26:24.690
other one about ign which you sent me yes that's

00:26:24.690 --> 00:26:30.150
yeah like yeah i know how she feels we went to

00:26:30.150 --> 00:26:33.609
war with them 15 years ago technically we're

00:26:33.609 --> 00:26:38.579
still at war no no all right no We we defeated

00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:41.859
them 15 years ago. I know. And we keep showing

00:26:41.859 --> 00:26:49.740
them. That's right. So, yeah, I yeah, they essentially

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:55.779
was talking about. They're they'll give crappy

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:59.180
reviews to games they didn't even play. Yeah,

00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:07.069
so. Entertainment, entertainment. Idiot Gaming

00:27:07.069 --> 00:27:12.849
Network is what it should stand for. Yeah. So

00:27:12.849 --> 00:27:16.150
I threw a pot shot in the same comment. Because,

00:27:16.150 --> 00:27:22.650
you know, Steve is feeling petty. Yes. That's

00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:26.849
why in 2011 I was like, that's why in 2011 we

00:27:26.849 --> 00:27:28.970
started our top 100 animated series countdown

00:27:28.970 --> 00:27:31.589
to combat the crappy one from IGN. We're doing

00:27:31.589 --> 00:27:33.789
ours again because all they did was a facelift

00:27:33.789 --> 00:27:42.230
of the original pages. Yep. So, yeah. Yep, yep,

00:27:42.230 --> 00:27:46.029
yep. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, folks, you want to

00:27:46.029 --> 00:27:52.390
hear me go to war with people, just listen to

00:27:52.390 --> 00:27:57.130
all things Transformers, because in that episode

00:27:57.130 --> 00:28:00.950
recently, I talked about my war in a Facebook

00:28:00.950 --> 00:28:06.329
group that I'm not even a part of. Where I have

00:28:06.329 --> 00:28:11.990
to explain how USB and power works as a backup

00:28:11.990 --> 00:28:19.730
to batteries to somebody. Matrix of Leadership

00:28:19.730 --> 00:28:24.369
coming July. At least if you pre -order on Amazon.

00:28:25.250 --> 00:28:32.369
In July. Matrixes grow there. Yes, yes, yes.

00:28:32.730 --> 00:28:38.339
Yes, yes. So. Jumping into some more bullcrap.

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:46.319
We have YouTube having added hurdles for ad blockers.

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:50.579
Yes. With it being the largest video and entertainment

00:28:50.579 --> 00:28:54.680
platform in the world, it can be maddening if

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:58.220
YouTube doesn't work the way it should. Something

00:28:58.220 --> 00:29:02.660
similar is happening now with scores of yawning.

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.599
facing issues with the platform, and from what

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.619
it looks like, this might be intentional. Over

00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:13.980
the past few days, the YouTube subreddit has

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:19.559
been colored with several reports via whatever

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:25.460
website that is, of YouTube blocking comments.

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:30.920
Based on these reports, users see a message stating,

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:34.279
Comments are turned off, which appears across

00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.319
a wide range of videos. This issue appears to

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:44.059
be widespread as dozens corroborate facing it.

00:29:44.819 --> 00:29:49.720
Furthermore, it appears beyond comments, as YouTube

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.339
has also been blocking video options for some

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:56.960
users. In addition to Reddit, some reports can

00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.599
be tracked across platforms such as Twitter.

00:30:01.210 --> 00:30:04.309
The issue may also affect YouTube premium users

00:30:04.309 --> 00:30:08.049
using ad blockers, which can be very frustrating.

00:30:10.049 --> 00:30:12.990
Based on users' comments, this appears to be

00:30:12.990 --> 00:30:16.329
YouTube's latest crusade against users skipping

00:30:16.329 --> 00:30:20.869
ads without paying as the common root cause in

00:30:20.869 --> 00:30:24.349
each of these cases is using ad blockers, in

00:30:24.349 --> 00:30:28.430
some cases people using browsers that come with

00:30:28.430 --> 00:30:34.690
built -in blockers. Such as Brave have also reported

00:30:34.690 --> 00:30:47.130
similar issues. Okay. Here's the thing. If. If

00:30:47.130 --> 00:30:55.589
I am paying for YouTube premium. I'm probably

00:30:55.589 --> 00:30:59.369
not using an ad blocker, at least not on the

00:30:59.369 --> 00:31:02.869
YouTube website. I actually currently have my

00:31:02.869 --> 00:31:07.369
ad blocker turned off on YouTube website because

00:31:07.369 --> 00:31:11.930
I am currently paying for YouTube premium, which

00:31:11.930 --> 00:31:14.890
is more than fine. Because again, as I've stated

00:31:14.890 --> 00:31:18.329
multiple times on this show and other shows,

00:31:18.630 --> 00:31:23.410
if I can pay for ad free programming, I will

00:31:23.410 --> 00:31:28.630
because that's my ultimate goal. Is to not have

00:31:28.630 --> 00:31:35.109
to watch ads. Kind of thing. I understand YouTube

00:31:35.109 --> 00:31:40.589
wants to combat the ad blockers. I understand

00:31:40.589 --> 00:31:46.650
that. I get that. But. Damn. How they're doing

00:31:46.650 --> 00:31:50.049
it is crazy. Because taking away the comments

00:31:50.049 --> 00:32:00.200
or. Not. Wow. That's weird. Well, and it's also

00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:05.960
entertaining, too, because. Brave is like constantly

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:15.500
put a needle on X. Like, oh, you're. They're

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:20.200
like. Cute, you know, they're like, you can use

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:29.240
this brave and get around it. Yeah. I, it's,

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:34.259
it's entertaining to me. Yeah. It's, it's all

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:41.119
crazy to me. I don't know. And yeah, it just,

00:32:41.339 --> 00:32:45.839
it's just crazy. And the funny thing is, uh,

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:50.740
this month, February was the first, and this

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:53.480
is cool. This is the bringing this story up now

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.970
is actually interesting to me because. I actually

00:32:58.970 --> 00:33:03.990
avoided YouTube on my computer and on my TV.

00:33:04.589 --> 00:33:08.910
For the last, before February, January, and December,

00:33:09.150 --> 00:33:14.490
I didn't have YouTube Premium. So you know what?

00:33:14.569 --> 00:33:17.789
I avoided watching it on my computer and my TV

00:33:17.789 --> 00:33:23.390
because I knew my computer had the ad blockers.

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:27.799
MIT obviously doesn't, and I just don't want

00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:32.680
to deal with ads. However, I was watching it

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:36.180
on when I was watching streams from the chaos

00:33:36.180 --> 00:33:38.799
queen and all that crew and everything else,

00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:41.759
watching them do their gaming streaming and everything

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:47.839
else. And man, let me tell you, I forgot what

00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:56.049
a wild, wild West. Oh. that pop their video but

00:33:56.049 --> 00:34:04.670
oh my god the wild wild west of two and how many

00:34:04.670 --> 00:34:10.710
ads youtube serves up to the free users whether

00:34:10.710 --> 00:34:16.909
they're skippable ads or not yikes i'm glad i

00:34:16.909 --> 00:34:24.590
pay for premium i to be honest i haven't seen

00:34:24.590 --> 00:34:28.250
ads in forever well i know and that's fine because

00:34:28.250 --> 00:34:31.929
you use i understand that but like i'm not putting

00:34:31.929 --> 00:34:35.269
an ad blocker on my phone like i'm just not like

00:34:35.269 --> 00:34:39.449
i'm not doing on my phone but but that's my point

00:34:39.449 --> 00:34:41.250
though like i because i wasn't watching it on

00:34:41.250 --> 00:34:43.010
my computer and i wasn't watching it on my tv

00:34:43.010 --> 00:34:46.789
i was watching it on my phone like free youtube

00:34:46.789 --> 00:34:52.559
on my phone like just like if i didn't have an

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.079
ad blocker on my because the ad blocker on my

00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.800
computer is for every other friggin website it's

00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:02.559
for every news website that wants to pop up before

00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:06.219
i can see a news article it's it's for that kind

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:09.619
of stuff it's not necessarily for youtube because

00:35:09.619 --> 00:35:11.739
as i already said i normally would pay youtube

00:35:11.739 --> 00:35:17.429
anyway but like yeah just Wow. It was, it was

00:35:17.429 --> 00:35:21.610
a crazy wild, wild West of advertisements. It

00:35:21.610 --> 00:35:26.289
was nuts. Um, but yeah, but, uh, but yeah, so

00:35:26.289 --> 00:35:29.690
YouTube is going to crack down on the ad blockers.

00:35:31.590 --> 00:35:33.829
It'll be interesting to see how well that goes

00:35:33.829 --> 00:35:38.769
with, with that front. Yep. I, I get entertained

00:35:38.769 --> 00:35:42.789
by it. So yeah, we all get entertained by it.

00:35:44.010 --> 00:35:48.809
And then the other day, February, well, this

00:35:48.809 --> 00:35:52.829
news story was posted February 18th, but as of

00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:56.210
this recording, February 17th, 2026, YouTube

00:35:56.210 --> 00:35:59.929
crashed hard. Like, you're going to talk about

00:35:59.929 --> 00:36:03.909
a hard, I hate this fucking phrase. YouTube had

00:36:03.909 --> 00:36:07.019
a hard crash out. YouTube says issue resolved

00:36:07.019 --> 00:36:09.760
after more than a quarter million users report

00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.219
problems accessing website and app, including

00:36:13.219 --> 00:36:17.199
me. YouTube has announced that all of its platforms

00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:19.880
are back to normal after more than a quarter

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.239
million users reported issues accessing the social

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.179
media site. Is YouTube really a social media

00:36:26.179 --> 00:36:31.860
site? It's a video site. It's a video entertainment

00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:34.489
website. It's not a social media site. Whatever.

00:36:34.590 --> 00:36:38.449
Anyway, around 350 ,000 users reported issues

00:36:38.449 --> 00:36:41.889
accessing YouTube on Tuesday evening from 8 p

00:36:41.889 --> 00:36:48.889
.m. Eastern time. According to site down detector,

00:36:49.289 --> 00:36:52.869
most commonly reported problem was users saying

00:36:52.869 --> 00:36:56.110
they had issues using the YouTube app, which

00:36:56.110 --> 00:36:59.369
is true. I can verify this. The main page would

00:36:59.369 --> 00:37:05.130
not load my for you page. The subscription page

00:37:05.130 --> 00:37:08.349
thing would not load. My own YouTube channel

00:37:08.349 --> 00:37:13.329
page would not load. By around 10 p .m., YouTube

00:37:13.329 --> 00:37:16.269
confirmed the issue has been fixed across its

00:37:16.269 --> 00:37:18.929
platforms. The issue with our recommendation

00:37:18.929 --> 00:37:23.289
system has been resolved, and all of our platforms,

00:37:23.630 --> 00:37:27.610
the YouTube app, YouTube Music, Kids, TV, etc.,

00:37:27.610 --> 00:37:30.670
are back to normal. They really are bearing with

00:37:30.670 --> 00:37:33.440
us while we sorted this out. A statement on the

00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:37.860
YouTube help page reads, Before the fix was announced,

00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:40.780
YouTube said it was working to resolve a small

00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:43.619
number of reports that some people are unable

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:47.719
to log into YouTube TV. This is related to the

00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.179
broader issue across YouTube, and we are also

00:37:50.179 --> 00:37:53.579
working on a fix here, YouTube said. YouTube

00:37:53.579 --> 00:37:56.659
initially confirmed the outage in a post on Twitter.

00:37:57.449 --> 00:37:59.690
If you're having trouble accessing YouTube right

00:37:59.690 --> 00:38:02.690
now, you're not alone. Earlier Tuesday, the video

00:38:02.690 --> 00:38:05.989
service homepage returned to an error message

00:38:05.989 --> 00:38:09.050
when an independent reporter tried to use it,

00:38:09.050 --> 00:38:12.110
though individual videos appear to still be loading

00:38:12.110 --> 00:38:17.869
and playing properly. The issues on YouTube quickly

00:38:17.869 --> 00:38:20.929
inspired jokes online. YouTube gaming creator

00:38:20.929 --> 00:38:25.329
Parrot Mode wrote on X. that YouTubers were now

00:38:25.329 --> 00:38:28.590
writing 45 -minute scripts about the great YouTube

00:38:28.590 --> 00:38:33.670
outage of 2026. Oh, Lord, here we go. But they

00:38:33.670 --> 00:38:37.650
didn't say what the actual issue was. Like, they

00:38:37.650 --> 00:38:40.510
just said the issue was resolved. Like, we had

00:38:40.510 --> 00:38:45.269
an outage, we fixed it. It would cause the actual

00:38:45.269 --> 00:38:50.010
outage. Like, YouTube isn't a cable company.

00:38:50.619 --> 00:38:54.679
YouTube can't cite a downed cable line or a cable

00:38:54.679 --> 00:39:00.860
line got cut or a bolt of lightning hit a YouTube

00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:06.320
poll or something. Like they could have said

00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.699
one of our servers exploded or something like

00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:13.699
one of our, our, I don't know. Am I looking for

00:39:13.699 --> 00:39:17.960
here? Well, our server farms exploded or something.

00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:20.360
I don't know, whatever. But anyway, it's fixed.

00:39:20.420 --> 00:39:23.320
It's back. But yeah, that was a crazy two hours.

00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:29.539
Was it crazy to like. On YouTube, like every

00:39:29.539 --> 00:39:31.880
feed was like, oh, my God, what am I going to

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.559
do now? I'm like, go watch Netflix, go watch

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:39.719
HBO Max, go watch Disney Plus. Like there's other

00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:46.239
video services out there. No, people just started

00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:51.059
freaking out. Yeah, well, you know, YouTube's

00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:57.000
the new internet. Technically, YouTube's the

00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:05.099
old internet. It is. Yep. But yeah, that's all

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:10.619
I got. Well, then there is Tubi. Oh, yeah, that's

00:40:10.619 --> 00:40:12.239
right. The Tubi story. I forgot about the Tubi

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:20.059
story. Yep. Yep. So Tubi has recently collected

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:23.260
all of Cartoon Network and their brother's programs

00:40:23.260 --> 00:40:26.480
and they'll be coming to their platform in March.

00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:34.920
So following the Looney Tunes success on Tubi,

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:40.159
they decided, hey, let's pick up everything else.

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:47.440
Since Warner Brothers hates cartoons. So they

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:50.780
have Animaniacs coming, Powerpuff Girls, The

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:53.099
Batman, Pinky and the Brain, Justice League,

00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:56.280
a lot of the Cartoon Network stuff, Brave and

00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:59.440
the Bold, Batman, The Mask, animated series.

00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.039
Basically a lot of the stuff that's going to

00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:11.659
be in our top 100. Yep, pretty much. There's

00:41:11.659 --> 00:41:14.719
a ton of stuff like Beware of the Batman, Beetlejuice,

00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:18.079
Captain Planet, Cow and Chicken, Duck Dodgers,

00:41:18.219 --> 00:41:21.500
Dumb and Dumber, the animated series, Flintstones,

00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:24.480
Freakazoid, Hong Kong Phooey, Justice League

00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:30.000
Action. Now that's one that, no seriously, that's

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:31.460
one we need to spend a little bit of time on

00:41:31.460 --> 00:41:34.579
really quick because having Justice League Action

00:41:34.579 --> 00:41:38.940
on Tubi, I don't think there's ever been a place.

00:41:39.910 --> 00:41:43.269
Ever in the history of streaming where Justice

00:41:43.269 --> 00:41:47.010
League action has been able to shine. It got

00:41:47.010 --> 00:41:53.889
its. It. Leases for Cartoon Network where it

00:41:53.889 --> 00:41:58.070
aired the proper season episodes and stuff, but

00:41:58.070 --> 00:42:00.710
it's never gotten a streaming home where you've

00:42:00.710 --> 00:42:03.909
been able to see all of the episodes. So that's

00:42:03.909 --> 00:42:07.289
a big deal to me. That's a very big deal. Having

00:42:07.289 --> 00:42:10.559
Justice League action. On Tubi. That's awesome.

00:42:12.059 --> 00:42:16.260
So they got that, a pup named Scooby -Doo. Mystery

00:42:16.260 --> 00:42:24.019
Incorporated. They've also got Ghost of Scooby

00:42:24.019 --> 00:42:28.980
-Doo, Heathcliff, New Adventures of Batman, Tiny

00:42:28.980 --> 00:42:34.199
Toons, Tom and Jerry, Top Cat, Yogi Bear, Wanky

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:38.429
Races, all that stuff. there's there's a massive

00:42:38.429 --> 00:42:45.949
list more than what the cbr article has and it's

00:42:45.949 --> 00:42:52.150
i i'm super excited for this because one i watch

00:42:52.150 --> 00:42:55.690
well i i watch i watch a lot of stuff on 2b anyway

00:42:55.690 --> 00:43:03.630
yep 2b rocks so i'm super excited for this uh

00:43:03.630 --> 00:43:07.420
for this to come down the pipe There's so many

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:12.159
old cartoons that desperately needed the time

00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:17.119
of day that we're getting finally. Absolutely.

00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:20.880
Yeah, I know. Tubi rocks. Tubi's amazing. And

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.179
it's free. Even with the ads that they have,

00:43:24.300 --> 00:43:27.320
it's still free. Like, I don't mind watching

00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.579
ads on Tubi. Like, would I love to be able to

00:43:30.579 --> 00:43:34.019
pay for Tubi? Yes. But because they don't offer

00:43:34.019 --> 00:43:41.349
that at all. Like, okay, sure. Fine. Great. Awesome.

00:43:41.929 --> 00:43:44.670
You know, so cool. Like I don't mind throwing

00:43:44.670 --> 00:43:49.329
to be up on my 55 inch flat screen TV. Like I've

00:43:49.329 --> 00:43:53.130
done that several times. Uh, and just awesome.

00:43:53.429 --> 00:43:56.289
So cool. Can't wait for all that stuff to get

00:43:56.289 --> 00:43:59.630
added March 1st and, and further on down the

00:43:59.630 --> 00:44:05.789
line. So fun. So awesome. Before we go, since

00:44:05.789 --> 00:44:08.070
most of this, since a good majority of this stuff

00:44:08.070 --> 00:44:11.730
is Warner Brothers stuff and whatever else. I

00:44:11.730 --> 00:44:19.369
am so sick of Warner Brothers. Paramount. Whatever.

00:44:21.769 --> 00:44:24.949
Somebody make a mother flipping deal already

00:44:24.949 --> 00:44:28.130
and just be done with it. I don't care who gets

00:44:28.130 --> 00:44:31.170
it. I don't care where it goes. It could be.

00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:35.860
charlie the tuna from chicken of the sea that

00:44:35.860 --> 00:44:39.239
buys freaking paramount at this point somebody

00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:42.860
just make a deal behind closed doors don't tell

00:44:42.860 --> 00:44:48.860
us until deal is freaking done every day yeah

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:52.699
just do it exactly just like nike just do it

00:44:52.699 --> 00:44:57.900
hell sign parent really serious give them a couple

00:44:57.900 --> 00:45:01.199
of paramount nike jordans or something and just

00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:04.000
Have the shoe company buy the streaming company

00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.480
or something. Like, seriously, just get it done

00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:11.980
already and do it. Just do it. Just do it. Like,

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:16.760
seriously, stop posting about this thing. Let

00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:21.260
them freaking do it already. Like, there are

00:45:21.260 --> 00:45:23.559
two complaints I have about two different social

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:27.030
media platforms right now. Number one is Instagram,

00:45:27.250 --> 00:45:29.630
and number one is that every time I open Instagram,

00:45:30.010 --> 00:45:35.230
the first thing I see is advertisements. I don't

00:45:35.230 --> 00:45:39.010
mind advertisements on Instagram. I know that's

00:45:39.010 --> 00:45:41.349
the thing. That's what's going to happen. But

00:45:41.349 --> 00:45:44.530
does the first post I see have to be an advertisement?

00:45:45.190 --> 00:45:49.110
Really? The first post? Couldn't the first post

00:45:49.110 --> 00:45:50.929
be something that you've posted or something

00:45:50.929 --> 00:45:53.150
that Geekcast Radio has posted or something that...

00:45:53.530 --> 00:45:56.670
Anyone else that I follow post. And then like

00:45:56.670 --> 00:45:59.429
the next post being add that, like when I scroll

00:45:59.429 --> 00:46:03.090
down, that's the one complaint. The other complaint

00:46:03.090 --> 00:46:08.590
is X because every time I open X, the first post

00:46:08.590 --> 00:46:14.730
I see is, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, discussing

00:46:14.730 --> 00:46:19.360
film, but it's you. It's your fault because it's

00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:23.119
you posting constant news about this stupid freaking

00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:27.340
news story. Because apparently you need more

00:46:27.340 --> 00:46:31.480
views on your Twitter profile. Warner Brothers,

00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:35.579
Paramount, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Netflix,

00:46:36.179 --> 00:46:40.400
this, that, and the other thing, everything else.

00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:43.989
It's like they won't let this story die. Like,

00:46:44.010 --> 00:46:47.449
is there really that much new news about this

00:46:47.449 --> 00:46:51.590
thing? Like, don't like, I feel like this has

00:46:51.590 --> 00:46:54.030
turned into a revenge of the freaking fallen.

00:46:54.570 --> 00:46:57.650
It's transformers revenge of the fallen filming

00:46:57.650 --> 00:47:01.750
location stories at this point. No, don't stop.

00:47:01.989 --> 00:47:04.449
Knock it off. Okay. I'll get off my soapbox now.

00:47:05.730 --> 00:47:11.889
