Sam [00:00:06]:

Hello, and welcome to episode 444 of the Chris and Sam podcast. I’m Chris. And I’m Sam, welcome along to your weekly fix, a randomness technology in life as we march towards episode

Chris [00:00:31]:

Yes. Yes. December next year.

Sam [00:00:34]:

Okay. while I think about that, it’s, just mind blowing. Yeah. 444. I know. I know.

Chris [00:00:40]:

It is it is actually Mental.

Sam [00:00:42]:

If you if you said if you said we made a 100 episodes about, yeah, sounds about right. I don’t know.

Chris [00:00:49]:

Well, we’ve done a 100 good ones. Don’t be like that. 3 or 5% number.

Sam [00:00:55]:

They’re all they’re all gold. They’re all gold. Hey, this week, we went to the HomeKills screening, which is a kiwi film, which is pretty cool, actually.

Chris [00:01:04]:

Yeah. I I was pretty impressed with that too. it was not what I expected — No. — based on what you told me.

Sam [00:01:11]:

Well, that’s what I got told as well.

Chris [00:01:14]:

Yeah. I and not just you. I’m pretty sure Nathan said something similar when I was talking to him on the set of surgical precision Yeah. Yeah. About what to what to expect from home kills. but yeah, yeah, it was quite different from what I expect. I spent a much lighter comedic

Sam [00:01:33]:

Yeah. I think that’s what — Yep.

Chris [00:01:34]:

Yeah. almost black sheep type comedy style thing, and in my head.

Sam [00:01:41]:

I think that’s what I was syncing as well.

Chris [00:01:43]:

It’s much more a drama.

Sam [00:01:45]:

Yes. It is much more drama. So this was at the New Zealand, International Film Festival. This is a festival run here in New Zealand I don’t know where else is going. I hope it gets a proper release because it it I think it it’s really high quality.

Chris [00:01:58]:

Yeah. No. that looks good. It’s well filmed. The acting’s fantastic. The story is good, well written. And

Sam [00:02:05]:

the story wasn’t like super complicated when you break it down when you think about it. It was really simple.

Chris [00:02:11]:

But there was complexity. Yeah.

Sam [00:02:13]:

Yeah. And mate, it worked well. You weren’t going near the end going, like

Chris [00:02:17]:

Yeah. Although, I will say, I don’t I don’t wanna give anything away. I was a little ambivalent at the end, like, and they all lived happily ever after. And I’m like, I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

Sam [00:02:31]:

I I have the feeling that he’s more involved in things now at the end. I think he took over from the other guy. It’s the it’s the gist that I got. because they

Chris [00:02:41]:

sort of it like that.

Sam [00:02:42]:

because they say that other guy’s gone.

Chris [00:02:45]:

Yeah.

Sam [00:02:45]:

And I was like, oh, okay. I think he’s, involved somehow now without giving you a thing away. That’s what I was thinking.

Chris [00:02:51]:

So it it it that’s a good thing, though. What I’m saying is that any film that leaves you feeling one way or the other at the end — Yes. — is a good thing. It’s not, you know, what I mean? It’s it’s, yeah, it’s good.

Sam [00:03:03]:

So home kills, check that out. If you watch it closely, you might spot me in there lurking.

Chris [00:03:08]:

Yeah. Yeah. And I also got to say because I hadn’t seen it since last one was jailbaited. Did I see that before our last episode?

Sam [00:03:17]:

we’ve spoken about that.

Chris [00:03:18]:

Okay. Alright then. We won’t talk about that again then.

Sam [00:03:22]:

No. We won’t.

Chris [00:03:23]:

Although I did get a gift out of it.

Sam [00:03:25]:

Did did you read the script for the new one?

Chris [00:03:27]:

Oh, still haven’t.

Sam [00:03:29]:

You should read it. It’s interesting. Basically, there’s 3 characters. and

Chris [00:03:35]:

And we’re playing 1 each.

Sam [00:03:36]:

Yeah. Apparently Graham’s got this grand, grand idea of potentially making a bunch of short films for the Misty Flicks film festival and we’re we’re here in all of them. or are involved or something. I’m not sure what his plan is. He’s he’s crazy old man.

Chris [00:03:51]:

Yeah. Yeah. It’s it’s cool. It’s cool. So, no, it that’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. I wanna go on to straight onto rant mode, for a moment.

Sam [00:04:00]:

Okay.

Chris [00:04:01]:

What the hell is it with messenger? So I’ve got messenger.

Sam [00:04:05]:

This is an old person around. He’s gonna go yell yell at the cloud soon. Okay, Cara. Sorry. Face Facebook Messenger, Messenger, whatever you got here.

Chris [00:04:13]:

Well, yeah, whatever. Who knows? I have messenger light. Now a while back as an epic. The app, messenger light.

Sam [00:04:21]:

Okay.

Chris [00:04:22]:

I’m pretty sure you told me to put messenger light on. sounds like Tomacosta. long time ago. And so that’s cool because I was like, I don’t want messenger on my phone. It’s bloat where it’s spy where it’s I just don’t want messenger on my phone, but so many people are using it.

Sam [00:04:40]:

That answer all the time.

Chris [00:04:41]:

And you can’t back in the day, you could actually go on to Facebook and check your messages on Facebook on your phone. You can’t do that now. Right?

Sam [00:04:49]:

Yes. Okay.

Chris [00:04:51]:

So, anyway, so that’s cool. And then this morning, I get the message. Facebook mentions your light is getting is being grandfathered or disappearing all dying or whatever. Yeah.

Sam [00:05:02]:

Yeah. And

Chris [00:05:02]:

you gotta have the new messenger.

Sam [00:05:04]:

Zucks out there killing it.

Chris [00:05:06]:

Yeah. So I don’t know. What am I gonna do? Do I get rid of Messenger? And there’s still far too many people who freaking use it.

Sam [00:05:17]:

You’ll you’ll have to jump. How dare they how dare they be annoying? no. I think you’ll just gonna have to download Messenger. That’s the answer.

Chris [00:05:29]:

I had to download WhatsApp because people are using it. Oh,

Sam [00:05:31]:

I don’t have WhatsApp. I got rid of that because I had only a couple of the cousins were using it. Yeah. but yeah, lots of people using all sorts of different things, which is good.

Chris [00:05:40]:

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I Yeah. I use Telegram, which you put me on to, and we use that for DND. What’s happens for one group of, people in the coaching group with me. So it’s really just then that’s on there. Yeah. sort of annoying, you know, but That is what it is.

Sam [00:05:58]:

It is what it is.

Chris [00:05:59]:

Anyway, that’s my old man rant.

Sam [00:06:01]:

Amazing and throw away.

Chris [00:06:02]:

We need a jingle for the old man

Sam [00:06:05]:

is that a jingle?

Chris [00:06:06]:

I don’t know.

Sam [00:06:07]:

I don’t know about a jingle. It sounds terrible. Hey. Do you know what sounds terrible? What? this, this buddy spider that’s turned up in, in Australia. So, they found it in a box of bananas, I think it was from Brazil. the spider. And it’s got a, when when it’s so deadly, you you think it would have a really good name. but it’s not It’s called dumb name. It’s called the Brazilian Wandering spider. So it’s living up to its name, I guess. one of its side effects Chris is it’ll give you a painful erection, permanent.

Chris [00:06:41]:

Painful permanent erection.

Sam [00:06:43]:

Yeah. It goes off hours and hours, and it’s so painful that you’re just I don’t know, knocking tricks off. Dropped it off. Yeah. Maybe. So it’s a bizarre side effect and some scientists have studied it as part of,

Chris [00:06:54]:

trying to get

Sam [00:06:55]:

Viagra treatment basically. Yeah. Yeah. So they found it, but

Chris [00:06:59]:

they — We can give them the treatment and they get it, and they love it but they die. Pretty much.

Sam [00:07:07]:

You can, yeah, you can have rapid changes within 30 minutes of blood pressure, heart rate, blurred vision, and convulsions. doesn’t sound good. A store manager discovered it while inspecting a shipment of the fruit, and they had to evacuate, the whole thing. actually talking about that.

Chris [00:07:21]:

Where was that again?

Sam [00:07:22]:

Australia.

Chris [00:07:22]:

Oh, it’s in Australia.

Sam [00:07:23]:

Yep. which has got like deadly spiders and stuff anyway.

Chris [00:07:27]:

So who cares? Yeah. But they don’t give them the heart on, though. And those Australians, man, they don’t want hard ons.

Sam [00:07:32]:

No. Talking about this vaguely, went to get petrol the other day while I’m at work, go there. The petrol station’s turned off. They they just what they do when a petrol station closed at night, they’ll have the lights on inside, cars outside everywhere, but they turn the 4 court lights off. So it’s really weird, but this one was all combed off. So I was like, oh, they’re closed for some reason. This is not good. So I go to the other petrol station, which has also got all its lights off, but the lights inside are on, but they’ve got barriers up. And the dude that works in their night shift is sitting in his car outside at the petrol pump locked in his car. And I’ve dealt with him a lot. So I was like, hey, and he’s like, oh, hey, so he unlocks. I said, what’s going on? we’re fumigating. Okay. Are they fumigating at the other place? No. They should be open. I said, no, they’re closed and boarded up. I don’t know. Thanks, BP. You’re the best.

Chris [00:08:28]:

Well, thanks. Both of them. because really Oh, terrible. Have you seen that this Wellington escape key?

Sam [00:08:37]:

I have no idea what it means.

Chris [00:08:38]:

Okay. Alright. So you can click on that LinkedIn link in there. I’m not sure on that.

Sam [00:08:45]:

I don’t will it show me? Cause I don’t have LinkedIn on my file.

Chris [00:08:48]:

Alright. So this is the this is a video of it. Yep. And so they put this,

Sam [00:08:54]:

Oh, yes. No. I have seen it. Sorry.

Chris [00:08:56]:

This big Yes. Escape key.

Sam [00:08:58]:

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Chris [00:08:59]:

Yes. lean on, with your entire body weight by the looks of it.

Sam [00:09:03]:

So it looks like a giant yellow computer key that’s escape

Chris [00:09:05]:

Yeah.

Sam [00:09:06]:

Sorry. I had to yep. Yeah. I did see this.

Chris [00:09:09]:

And I’m like, oh, yeah. So you start talking to it and you press the key and something amazing happens on the on the billboard above. Do you see what happens? Not much. Isn’t it? Didn’t it say It says their name.

Sam [00:09:20]:

Yep.

Chris [00:09:20]:

And we have the escape for you go to Wellington.

Sam [00:09:24]:

Yeah. Pretty ignorant. So there’s a woman, the address in yellow, and she sort of says, what what job do you do? Basically, and then they must be the thing. So I I I saw a comment and somebody goes, it would’ve been really good if they actually had people that worked in different industries there, or there was something I can’t I think that’s what they said. There’s something else that they should have done

Chris [00:09:45]:

because they If we had images on that freaking billboard, it would have been good.

Sam [00:09:48]:

Yeah.

Chris [00:09:49]:

That I mean, the right it’s just writing.

Sam [00:09:52]:

They spent all the money flying this button in the woman to New York. Okay? Do you know how much that boom award is costing? They probably go, do you want text or image? Well, what’s the difference? I don’t know, $20,000. Oh, okay. Text it is.

Chris [00:10:05]:

Yeah. Yeah. And and I think they went, do you want color, Nana?

Sam [00:10:09]:

Yeah. That’s got

Chris [00:10:10]:

black and white.

Sam [00:10:10]:

Black and white. New Zealand. but people absolutely like Justin Flitter shared this on LinkedIn. This is unrivaled execution. Like these people that shared this Sara a couple of times, we’re like, this is the best marketing you could ever get ever in the world. And I’m like, okay. It’s okay.

Chris [00:10:31]:

Yeah. I I I’d like

Sam [00:10:32]:

to get me wrong.

Chris [00:10:33]:

My initial impression was, oh, this is a pretty good idea. I I like it. It stands out it’s virally, the the video at least is viral and and that sort of thing.

Sam [00:10:43]:

Yes.

Chris [00:10:44]:

But when I saw that billboard, I was just like, Oh, you just let me down, bro.

Sam [00:10:50]:

That’s right. We are hard to please here at the Christmas sand podcast. So,

Chris [00:10:54]:

That’s that’s because of our high high standards of excellence.

Sam [00:10:57]:

That’s right. Hey, here’s something that you shouldn’t be doing. Next time you go visit a sunflower field, try not to get naked and take photos of yourself with the sunflowers?

Chris [00:11:08]:

I can’t think of anything more of putting to somebody than I was looking at a photo of me naked and of

Sam [00:11:16]:

I wanna say, I’m gonna I’m gonna throw it out there. I think really hot people do that. Like, they’re like, yeah. I don’t know, but in in England, This guy at Stoked Fruit Farm, has said, hey, look, can you stop doing it? So I’ve got signs that say no public nudity because people are just stripping off and taking photos of, themselves in the sunflowers. And he’s like, hey, look. We’re a family run type of thing. please don’t do this during our public sessions, please. I mean, it’s obviously happened enough for him to make some signs. Oh, about 6, honestly, six times.

Chris [00:11:52]:

honestly, what he should do is have nude day.

Sam [00:11:55]:

He should have a nude section.

Chris [00:11:56]:

Yeah. Well, well, a nude day is just it’s just one day of a of the month — Yeah. — and come and be as new as you like. And, I’ve sent the kids and wife away. And

Sam [00:12:07]:

but the reason he’s got all these sunflowers and they’ve been doing it is 6 years ago when he and his fiancee got married, he planted them, but they didn’t bloom in time from the nuptials. They went away on the honeymoon and they came back and they were still there and, set up a little honesty box and now people travel all the way there to go check them out. So they were doing that toll free. I think I mentioned this a couple of years ago when we went up there.

Chris [00:12:31]:

Yeah. I think this is something better. Yeah.

Sam [00:12:33]:

And they were charging, like, $5 per sunflower here, I think it was, or something silly. If passed machine on the go, ready. If you got the land,

Chris [00:12:42]:

You said? I guess so. I guess so. Hey, did you hear about this, swimming champs in Hastings? We didn’t talk about that. Did we? No.

Sam [00:12:50]:

I have no idea what you’re talking about. What have they been up to? Are you responding to?

Chris [00:12:54]:

Oh, great. I didn’t save the link. Brilliant.

Sam [00:12:57]:

Okay.

Chris [00:12:58]:

but anyway, so basically, as as I understand it, they had this they had this particular swimming competition. They only have it once every, maybe every year, but, you know, people that enter it. it’s a national event. You know, they they train for years to get there and all the rest of it. That’s a big deal.

Sam [00:13:17]:

It’s a big so it’s a big event in the swimming calendar.

Chris [00:13:20]:

Big big events in the swimming calendar. They’re having it in Hastings this year. I assume it moves around and they’re having it in Hastings this year. Brand new pool. The pool has only been there, like, a couple of months just been finished. It’s brand new pool.

Sam [00:13:31]:

Okay. And

Chris [00:13:31]:

so they had this big event and they over chlorinated it so much that people were sick people were sick in the stands. What? there there was still a couple of swimmers that broke some records but a lot of swimmers were just like, I can’t even. I can’t. And

Sam [00:13:50]:

yeah. This sounds like the pool guy that we’ve got at my house, shout out to the pool doc. He’s not a real doctor, and I don’t know what he does. he’s probably gone down there to sort it out. Gotcha. That’s crazy, though, because Like, you test the water and the test tells you what to do. And when you’ve got a big system like that, I assume it’s computerized or you get big sample somehow, and it’s not like and they’ve got big, pumps and machinery and filters that are must be at that scale. sort of sort of

Chris [00:14:21]:

sorting itself out a little bit. Yeah. You would think, okay. So new, Paul, Okay. Takes a bit of getting used to?

Sam [00:14:29]:

Maybe.

Chris [00:14:30]:

I’m assuming they didn’t like finish building the pool the day before. It’s like a couple of months that I think least. We we assume we assume on the days of,

Sam [00:14:40]:

4 in the morning, bring the truck in.

Chris [00:14:42]:

Yeah. then to me, the logic is you get it to a certain level and then you tweak it up and down and up and down and up and down, and you’ve got a bit of time.

Sam [00:14:50]:

I don’t even I think at that level, it should be perfect from the get go because there’s people out there that do know what they’re doing. I don’t know. That seems weird. Especially for such a big event.

Chris [00:14:58]:

Yeah. So how

Sam [00:14:59]:

somebody got fired?

Chris [00:15:01]:

I yeah. Yep. so it was it was quite —

Sam [00:15:04]:

There’s talking about that, I don’t have a link, so you’ll just have to listen to me soothe you with my word. There’s a guy that pops up on my Instagram reels, and he’s this young guy. He’s always got crazy stories. Yeah. And he’s like, oh, back in whenever they opened a brand new airport in Canada, right? Back in the eighties or nineties. and the day before they opened, they were doing training with the Canadian Air Force flying around and they had a American plane, and it was quite an older plane. I can’t remember what it was. like, I can’t it’s not a modern plane. It’s something from the eighties.

Chris [00:15:39]:

but but not military, just a normal.

Sam [00:15:41]:

No military.

Chris [00:15:41]:

Oh, military.

Sam [00:15:42]:

But it was sort of like a jet fighter of of the time, but I can’t remember the name. It’s that uncommon to me. Anyway, they said to him, the radio mugs says, hey, before you go, can you do a fly by? like, you know, real low. Yeah. Sweet. I can do that. So he comes in real low. Boom does a sonic boom basically. blows out all the windows on the side of that airport, beams all the beams and basically destroys half the airport. and a half

Chris [00:16:06]:

$1,000,000,

Sam [00:16:07]:

and it took him a year to fix. So that just reminded me of that.

Chris [00:16:13]:

That’s that’s worth remembering. I’m speaking on it while we’re on the pilot, front. Yeah. Did you see the story? It was on the it was on the American news. this pilot lost his rack, got it out an axe, and started hammering on.

Sam [00:16:28]:

How big is playing?

Chris [00:16:29]:

It’s not in the he’s not in the plane. Oh, sorry. It’s in the car park of the airport. Okay. And and, you know, the gate, the the part that comes, thing that comes down, he’s wailing on this still in uniform. wailing on this thing with an axe.

Sam [00:16:43]:

because it won’t open.

Chris [00:16:45]:

yeah. So he’s backed up in traffic. This was traffic pulled behind him. There’s another lane that’s going through, and he’s just comes out with this axe and he’s wailing it.

Sam [00:16:53]:

I’ve got more questions why he has an axe with him. Like, how often do you have

Chris [00:16:57]:

an axe hat? He was in this car. Of course, it was.

Sam [00:17:01]:

Did he did he get through?

Chris [00:17:03]:

apparently, in the end, yes. Yes.

Sam [00:17:04]:

Actually, if you’re that angry, just drive into it. They break off, don’t they?

Chris [00:17:08]:

I don’t know.

Sam [00:17:09]:

I think so.

Chris [00:17:10]:

yeah, he he got arrested. the the security guards grabs the axe and he’s grabbed the axe and neither of them are letting go the and he’s like, until the police came and let go.

Sam [00:17:20]:

Oh my gosh.

Chris [00:17:21]:

That’s me too. But, yeah, you would you want to fly with that pilot.

Sam [00:17:26]:

I assume he’s stressed out.

Chris [00:17:28]:

Yeah. Exactly. They had a guy on, they interviewed some dude, from, you know, the pilot association going, oh, I’m pretty sure we’ll get a bit of stress leave and, we’ll be fine.

Sam [00:17:39]:

I’ll ask one of our listeners, Brett. I know you’re listening. you’re a pilot do you run around with the max in your yolks? I wouldn’t be surprised that something in the back of your tray of your yolks on the back Exactly.

Chris [00:17:52]:

Yeah. No. Random people do have random things, so maybe.

Sam [00:17:56]:

They sure do.

Chris [00:17:58]:

Did you see much of this, tropical storm Hillary, I think it was, that hits California.

Sam [00:18:04]:

I heard I just see the thing where people are like, tropical storm Hillary’s coming and then nothing happened. That’s what’s on social media. I don’t know. But I don’t know. You tell me.

Chris [00:18:13]:

Quite a lot happened.

Sam [00:18:13]:

Okay. So, basically, more about the Hawaii fires.

Chris [00:18:17]:

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. but, yeah, so they had I think a year’s rainfall in 6 hours.

Sam [00:18:26]:

And their soil

Chris [00:18:30]:

situation is basically hard pets. Yep. Yep. Cool. Concrete dirt.

Sam [00:18:34]:

You know, like flat spots, I guess.

Chris [00:18:36]:

Yeah. So a lot of flash floods, mountainsides crumbling down to you know, rocks and all that sort of stuff.

Sam [00:18:42]:

Good times.

Chris [00:18:43]:

but I was thinking, deeply

Sam [00:18:48]:

Oh, yeah. I don’t know what that means. Okay.

Chris [00:18:50]:

Why didn’t they because they keep having droughts here. Why didn’t they just take a lot of freaking trenches? So, you know, wherever they’ve got space to dig trenches.

Sam [00:18:59]:

Maybe there’s no space.

Chris [00:19:01]:

No. Yeah. it was pretty rural most of the places I saw what they got. that got hit. Like, obviously, hit town as well, but towns sort of built for that. Like, they’ve got storm drains, but, you know, it’s where it’s outside of town in this problem. And that got me to thinking.

Sam [00:19:17]:

Okay. More more deep thinking.

Chris [00:19:18]:

More more deep thinking. is why don’t they make, you know, the lake thing, right, the make dig a decent size reservoir and catcher — Yeah. —

Sam [00:19:26]:

some

Chris [00:19:26]:

of this water? because we’re always talking about how we’re running it. And that made me think.

Sam [00:19:30]:

Oh my god. There’s so much

Chris [00:19:31]:

thinking of. Yeah. That if you put a bore down from this reservoir you build, because they keep talking about the the, using up all the underground water. From

Sam [00:19:44]:

the aquaphire,

Chris [00:19:45]:

Aquifier. That was the word I couldn’t remember. Oh, no. Aquifier. Yeah. So using all the water and the aquifier, so why don’t they replace it? the problem with that, I realized pretty strictly was that it would be dirty water going into

Sam [00:19:58]:

What I was just gonna say that the millions of years to have it purified through the rock, and here’s Chris with basically a giant plug hole before I put it in there, mate. Don’t worry about the dirt.

Chris [00:20:09]:

Yeah. But I do think there’s something there where we should be using these additional weather runoffs to somehow replenish the aquifers or find a way to do that.

Sam [00:20:21]:

Maybe. Maybe. Anyway, have you been using ai as a fixing tool? Is that what this headline little this little note here says? No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Chris [00:20:33]:

hang on. That one does have a look. Right? Yay.

Sam [00:20:36]:

What’s happening there?

Chris [00:20:37]:

No. It’s, well. Yes. So everyone’s talking about Snapchat’s AI, check bot gone wrong rogue.

Sam [00:20:46]:

Oh, is it?

Chris [00:20:47]:

Yeah. I don’t know. But seriously, Why are we getting Rexford? I’m reading this thing real quick again. On the daily mail today, we, it talks about ai girlfriends. Yeah. Okay. So ai, this this article is just about ai could be a part major part of our personal lives. So you see you can get these, ai girlfriends now?

Sam [00:21:09]:

Yes.

Chris [00:21:11]:

I just it’s just crazy. so the setting up a girlfriend, the making the image, I assume it’s just like a computer game where you go, you know, eyebrows, bigger, smaller, whatever. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Sam [00:21:24]:

You you make the perfect person.

Chris [00:21:26]:

Yeah. And then they text you. And so they’re texting each other. And one of them was sexting, and they ended up turning it off. And people got really upset and went into mourning for their I yeah. Now defunct girlfriend, and I’m just like, hey, what?

Sam [00:21:47]:

Yeah. I’m sure that this happened a while ago as well. or No. Didn’t the girlfriends get more mean or something? I think they check the personality changed because they tweaked something. Cause there is a couple of companies that have been around for a couple of years now doing this.

Chris [00:22:00]:

Yeah. I I I hadn’t come across it, and I just swerved. And I was like, tick stick. 16 at the best of times, is I don’t get it. Like, I don’t

Sam [00:22:13]:

get it. You’re just not talking to the right people, Chris.

Chris [00:22:15]:

Yeah. I’m old. You’re old? yeah. So, well, yeah, it’s probably one single I I don’t get it. So the idea of a robot texting me is, like, just one more step like, I still don’t get it.

Sam [00:22:30]:

I think it makes sense for some people, could see it working.

Chris [00:22:34]:

yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Sam [00:22:37]:

But like it says here, like, it’s the low like, humans are lonelier than ever, like, and ai can mimic human behavior better than ever. So that makes sense. I think when it’s gonna get weird is when we have the, the, Boston dynamic walking robot thing, and that’ll just be like with a skin suit on it and it can do everything around your house and other things.

Chris [00:22:59]:

Like, the attachments.

Sam [00:23:01]:

Like, because that’s where I’m assuming that’s where we’re heading. We’ve got those robots that can do almost everything now. You’ve got the brains that can almost do everything. We just need to match them and somebody’s probably doing that. Have you seen that credit guy on, I don’t know, TikTok or something like that? And he’s programming AI in that and he’s got a robot a robot woman behind him pole dancing?

Chris [00:23:22]:

No. He’s got a room

Sam [00:23:23]:

that’s set up and he’s just she’s just like on a loop. She’s just like pole dancing the whole time. and he’s got another one doing something else. I think he’s got 3 of them in the room, and they’re like like moving around the stuff while he’s programming. I can’t remember what his deal is, but I just remember seeing that as a visual.

Chris [00:23:39]:

Oh, that’s crazy. did you did you hear anything about the Russian moon mission?

Sam [00:23:44]:

I just heard it failed, but I don’t

Chris [00:23:46]:

really know what happened. I heard it failed on my identity mode going, so they didn’t tell us anything until it crashed. And then I Nehrushions crashed on the moon. so they crashed into the South polar moon. Now we’ve talked about this before. I’m pretty sure what, at least.

Sam [00:24:00]:

I’ve — Under Chinese there lurking?

Chris [00:24:02]:

No. They’re on the dark side. And we were talking I was talking about this, north and south poles, how much water they contained. Yes. And if we can prove the water there, well, well, they have proved the water there now, that it’s enough to sustain life and to fuel Mars missions. Okay. Yeah. To use that the the water from there. So My question is, how do we know the crashed?

Sam [00:24:29]:

Oh, no. The the the other scientists would have seen it or the radio telescopes would have picked up Like, I don’t believe that’s happened. There’s no conspiracy there.

Chris [00:24:37]:

I don’t know.

Sam [00:24:38]:

Yeah. What are they gonna do? They’re gonna, oh, by the way, we’re here. No.

Chris [00:24:42]:

No. I reckon they just dynamited something. Everybody thinks they’ve crashed, and they’re really they’re just mining them. No. No. No.

Sam [00:24:49]:

I think they crashed. I think that they pushed the envelope very hard. They did it for the initial space race, you know, sending people and monkeys and stuff into space never to be seen again. whatever. So, you know, and they’ve got some clever people there.

Chris [00:25:03]:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Sam [00:25:03]:

So it’s okay.

Chris [00:25:04]:

They got them from Ukraine. That’s right. They’re getting from wherever. Alright. Alright. Alright.

Sam [00:25:10]:

What is the razor? Odd. What is this? Okay. I see your name mentioned in a Wikipedia. What does that mean? and the title.

Chris [00:25:18]:

Your last name. So this is something Cal brought to my attention. yeah, this is it’s sort of funny. so Cal Kals gets me to read this thing. And the funny thing is it’s a philosophical razor from Okay. 1980 or something like that, but it’s something that I’ve said to her many times, and I didn’t know this existed.

Sam [00:25:44]:

Hang on, really.

Chris [00:25:45]:

Yes. seriously. So he found this and he goes, somebody’s pulling my chain, Hanlon’s razor, because it’s in the Wikipedia. It’s Hanlon’s razor.

Sam [00:25:54]:

Excellent.

Chris [00:25:55]:

And And he goes, Chris, did you —

Sam [00:25:59]:

Like, modify that?

Chris [00:26:00]:

Jam this up for me or something. I’m like, oh, I’ve never seen that before. But basically, where where does it say it?

Sam [00:26:07]:

Right at the top.

Chris [00:26:08]:

Right at the top. No. It says Wikipedia is not for sale.

Sam [00:26:12]:

Okay. What it says is is an added rule of thumb that states never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Chris [00:26:20]:

Yes. And I’ve said to because in in telecom, quite a lot of times, I’m like, no. No. No. No. No. They don’t hate you. they just don’t understand what’s happening is is the way I would usually say it.

Sam [00:26:34]:

Yeah. Yeah.

Chris [00:26:34]:

Which is exactly that. And I was actually, apparently, got sort of famous for that. there. And then the car comes up with this Hanlin’s razor, and it’s like, It’s a thing. It’s been there for decades.

Sam [00:26:49]:

They said it’s probably named after Robert J Hanlan who submitted the statement to Murphy’s law book 2 in

Chris [00:26:55]:

Sam [00:26:56]:

Yeah. So it’s not oldest, but similar statements have been recorded since at least 18th century. where they were to use more flowery words where they said, blah blah blah blah. They’re an idiot.

Chris [00:27:07]:

Yeah. But the fact that it’s Hannah’s razor and Wikipedia That’s sort of Oh, no. No. No. You can’t claim it. I’m not claiming it. It sounds like — — hilarious.

Sam [00:27:16]:

Okay.

Chris [00:27:17]:

Very good. — hilarious. Anyway, okay. Alright. Cool.

Sam [00:27:23]:

what else was here? I didn’t

Chris [00:27:24]:

know there’s anything else.

Sam [00:27:25]:

I don’t know.

Chris [00:27:26]:

No. I don’t think there is.

Sam [00:27:28]:

Alright.

Chris [00:27:29]:

so who was I talking to the other day? And they go, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You and Santrella this trailer that? Who put that on there? Who did that? Oh, is there any more on there? We’ll leave that one till next week? I’m like, do we say that a lot.

Sam [00:27:44]:

We’re pulling back the curtain and, you know, this is the tool that we use.

Chris [00:27:51]:

So, I have next week off. I am on leave next week.

Sam [00:27:55]:

Exciting.

Chris [00:27:56]:

Which is incredibly exciting. and I’ll be working on my stand up, my comedy stuff, I think.

Sam [00:28:05]:

Alright. How’s the improv thing going?

Chris [00:28:08]:

so I didn’t go to the last Sunday. I don’t think there was one on, if there was, I missed it.

Sam [00:28:13]:

Okay.

Chris [00:28:13]:

But but it’s on this Sunday with my team in stuff, and we’ll see how we go. But we’ve got dates now of when I should be performing at the — Mhmm. — or Mhmm. I almost called it the metro. the meet you.

Sam [00:28:26]:

Don’t go to any other one. Just go to the one that Chris is on.

Chris [00:28:29]:

Sam [00:29:13]:

I know. How’s that impacting you? How are you feeling? Has it caused you problems since you’ve

Chris [00:29:17]:

Sam [00:29:31]:

That’s the problem. You can you can get to more than back, but when you’ve got a 20 kilo bag of rice balance on your

Chris [00:29:37]:

shoulders — Yeah. Plus, you know, those those frozen. That won’t be frozen.

Sam [00:29:42]:
