Sam [00:00:21]:
Hello, and welcome to episode 496 of the Chris and Sam Podcast.
Chris [00:00:25]:
I’m Chris.
Sam [00:00:26]:
And I’m Sam. Welcome along to your weekly fix or randomness technology in life. And just hearing that intro, Chris, nobody has ever hit us up about that, thing that we say, with your money back.
Chris [00:00:38]:
Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:00:38]:
Yeah. Yeah. I’m just We
Chris [00:00:39]:
thought that was so clever at the time. Yeah. Guaranteed to, you know, be interesting all your money back.
Sam [00:00:46]:
We don’t normally hear it, to be honest.
Chris [00:00:48]:
To be fair. So new technology means we hear it every time.
Sam [00:00:51]:
We just put it in to save me one extra thing to do. 2 extra things, actually. Yeah. So welcome along. Last week, you had a medical problem. Yes. This week, they’ve fixed you.
Chris [00:01:02]:
Well, we’ll see. So this week, I went to the do doctors.
Sam [00:01:06]:
You got a sack of pills?
Chris [00:01:07]:
Sat. I’ve got a sack of pills. So we’ll see if the sack of pills do anything, and that’s just cholesterol and blood pressure effectively. So, as I said in the car before, I am officially old because I now have pills.
Sam [00:01:22]:
Yeah. You you definitely are. So we were in the car earlier because we shot down to where the 5 hundredth episode is gonna be recorded, and they gave us 8 minutes just because we turned up late. Not their fault. Yeah. But there were some people just sitting there waiting for a movie to start in 8 minutes, and we’re there talking about random shit. I felt like saying something to them, but then I didn’t want to, so I didn’t. Yeah.
Chris [00:01:46]:
Yeah. We just ignored them.
Sam [00:01:47]:
Yeah. We ignored them. So we’ve we’ve figured out, power. We think we can hook into a projector. It’s all go. And the space is a lot smaller than maybe some of us realized.
Chris [00:01:58]:
So Yeah. I I seem to remember that theater as being bigger, but yeah. No. It’s cool.
Sam [00:02:03]:
So this 5 meter bloody XLR cable I’ve brought, I don’t think we will use it for that.
Chris [00:02:09]:
Unless we put it You could take the microphone to the back row and put it.
Sam [00:02:14]:
Yeah. I want them to come to the mic stand because you imagine them all handling it.
Chris [00:02:19]:
Yeah. Yeah. I’m not 100%.
Sam [00:02:20]:
So anyway, that’s good. 500 is happening. More China’sium. Did I mention China’sium in the last episode?
Chris [00:02:25]:
I don’t think so.
Sam [00:02:26]:
I’m not sure.
Chris [00:02:27]:
We didn’t say what those things were.
Sam [00:02:29]:
No. We’re still not doing that.
Chris [00:02:30]:
Oh, good. But we was gonna say, like, secret’s a secret.
Sam [00:02:33]:
The second, I can’t. Yeah. Anyway, there’s another lot coming. One’s already made it into the country within 5 days. It’s custom apparently. And it got here in 5 days.
Chris [00:02:46]:
So so effectively, we’re talking about merch, and and we’ve got a bit of a bet on what’s it gonna say? Is it gonna be the Chris and Same podcast, or is it gonna be the Chris and Sam podcast? Or what the hell is it gonna say?
Sam [00:03:00]:
We’re looking forward to it. And at the end of the day, it, makes a great podcast story. And if you come along to the 500th, you can get your hand on some of this trinacium.
Chris [00:03:12]:
Yes. It should be cool.
Sam [00:03:13]:
It should almost there’ll be something. It’d
Chris [00:03:16]:
be something. Although, I did I, yeah, I I caught up with Adam again this week. I catch up with Adam every week. He’s like we were talking about this, and and I mentioned that we’ve got some stuff coming into the country for people that come along. He goes, yeah. I’ve still got my Donald Donald Trump, toilet brush at home. It’s being used. Let’s
Sam [00:03:37]:
that’s good. We are hoping that this
Chris [00:03:40]:
From the, 300th 300th episode.
Sam [00:03:42]:
He’s been Yeah. That’s a long time. We are hoping that this is, maybe a bit more useful. And and and it is customized. It’s gonna have our logo on it Yeah. And maybe some text if we’re lucky.
Chris [00:03:54]:
Yeah. And the Donald Trump, toilet brushes. I brought a couple and gave them away. I can’t remember what I gave them away for. They were random things or some some reason we gave them away. But it was really because I was on AliExpress, and I I saw these Donald Trump toilet brushes and, like, I need an excuse to buy some of those. Oh, 300th episode’s coming up. That’s a good excuse.
Sam [00:04:15]:
I’m amazed you haven’t brought more random Donald Trump
Chris [00:04:17]:
stuff. Yeah.
Sam [00:04:18]:
Maybe you have and haven’t told us.
Chris [00:04:19]:
No. I have not. Okay. So, anyway, what are we up to? What do we got?
Sam [00:04:23]:
You tell me.
Chris [00:04:24]:
Okay. So I I can’t talk about it. What is the best place to hide if you do a murder? If you’re a murderer, where’s the best
Sam [00:04:37]:
The best place to hide if you’re a murderer? Yeah. I don’t know. Jail. Like, somehow you’re hiding out in the jail, but you’re not already in you’re not in jail.
Chris [00:04:47]:
I like it. That’s a good idea. Like, become a jail prison officer. That would be funny. Yeah. But it’s close.
Sam [00:04:54]:
Okay.
Chris [00:04:55]:
Become a police officer. So this guy, a man who’s been one of Ohio’s most wanted fugitives for nearly 20 years is now in custody. Okay. Antonio Reiano had been wanted for shooting death of Benjamin Breccaro, 25, in Butler County, Ohio in 2004. On August 1st, US Marshals arrested him. Now this is where the story turns a little bit because I I thought he was hiding amongst them Yeah.
Sam [00:05:24]:
Okay.
Chris [00:05:25]:
But he his wasn’t because he was arrested in his hometown of Zapotelanpalmas, state of Owakaka Owakaka, Mexico.
Sam [00:05:39]:
Okay. I believe you. Yeah. Good.
Chris [00:05:41]:
So, where he’s working as a police officer. So he’s gone and murdered someone in the States.
Sam [00:05:45]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:05:46]:
And then
Sam [00:05:46]:
he Okay.
Chris [00:05:47]:
Then he probably immigrated, you know, smuggled himself across the border Yep. Because everybody’s trying to get out of the states these days, into Mexico and, became a police officer there because, nobody’s gonna
Sam [00:05:58]:
find me. I see what they did with their clickbaitheline.
Chris [00:06:01]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, police said Reanu shot Bareca or Bicara in the face following an argument. How there’s a lot of this face shooting going on because
Sam [00:06:12]:
we talked about a face shooting feet last week.
Chris [00:06:15]:
Yeah. But he shot him in the face. That he pointed the gun in his face and the trigger accidentally got pulled.
Sam [00:06:21]:
I know. But
Chris [00:06:22]:
this time, there was no accidental pulling the trigger.
Sam [00:06:25]:
That’s pretty crazy. I will say since the last episode, we did catch up with John in Dubai. So just do a quick shout out. You’ll hear him in the 500th episode. I think John and Jeremy both love hearing their voices being played back through the medium of a podcast. Not. And, they both said, oh, we’ll just skip it. And I joked that I’m just gonna chop it up and sprinkle it
Chris [00:06:46]:
throughout my podcast.
Sam [00:06:47]:
I might do. I’m not sure. It sounds like a lot of work on my part. But, no. Thank you for taking the time, having an important work work call at work.
Chris [00:06:56]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we zoomed in to Dubai to to record this, and he’s like at work. He’s like, I’ve just told everyone I’m in an important meeting. So that’s cool. So we got 2 or 3 people lined up other that we’re going to, interview. Now those that come to live, live show live, don’t worry.
Chris [00:07:16]:
You won’t be sitting through lots of interviews because these will be in the episode Yep. But not we’re not playing if you’re listening to this and you’re anywhere in the world, we know we’ve got listeners all around the world.
Sam [00:07:23]:
If you wanna be on this podcast, even for a couple of minutes, and you wanna say hi, hit us up on Facebook or Instagram or whatever, and we can make it work.
Chris [00:07:38]:
Yeah. Yeah. We have the technology.
Sam [00:07:40]:
We’ve got something on the go.
Chris [00:07:43]:
Long piece of string and some cans. This this got me a little bit because I I I passed up on it, and I read it again. I was like, okay. So the a couple sues Atlanta Hospital for allegedly losing part of the patient’s skull following brain surgery, and I’m like, that’s not a big deal. Yep. But then it turns out so several bone flats were lacking identification or whatever.
Sam [00:08:12]:
Okay.
Chris [00:08:13]:
But as it turns out, the real thing is they then go, oh, because he hasn’t got enough skull there, we’re gonna charge you $30,000 to fill it with this material. It’s like, no, dude. You lost the skull bits. You don’t get to charge us for the replacement. You you lost it. You fill it. In my opinion, that’s what it works. That’s a skull scam
Sam [00:08:37]:
in my mind. Skull scam?
Chris [00:08:39]:
Yep. It’s a skull scam.
Sam [00:08:40]:
Hey, skull scam. Skull scam. Hey. The Japanese are very what’s the word? Studious?
Chris [00:08:48]:
Is that
Sam [00:08:48]:
the right one? Yep. Yep. They’ve got a whole bunch of rules that they follow. It’s quite a safe place. And the weekend that’s just been let me just check that date. Yep. It was the weekend that’s just been. One of their busiest airports canceled 36 flights and 201 were delayed over the weekend.
Sam [00:09:08]:
Why? Do you know? Have a guess.
Chris [00:09:11]:
Because there was a smell in the airport. No?
Sam [00:09:15]:
No. A pair of scissors went missing in a shop near the boarding gates. So they shut it all down. Delayed 201 flights, shut it all down, left hundreds of people just stranded temporarily. There’s huge bottlenecks, queues, long, you know, they were all forced to retake security checks. They tried to find them. They couldn’t find the scissors. The problem is somebody must have had them as a terrorist type weapon, I guess.
Sam [00:09:46]:
Anyway, they found him the next day in the store.
Chris [00:09:48]:
That is the dumbest stuff ever.
Sam [00:09:51]:
So is it an overreaction or is it poor searching? And is the person that said they were missing the person the next day that goes, oh, I found them.
Chris [00:10:01]:
That’s right. I used them and put didn’t put them back in the drawer. That’s crazy. Like That’s insane.
Sam [00:10:08]:
And and I and I don’t know if the scissors were for sale. I don’t think so. I’m assuming they were store scissors and they just were, like, missing. Yeah. Like, this is
Chris [00:10:18]:
they’re just scissors, man.
Sam [00:10:21]:
Yeah. You could do something else with scissors.
Chris [00:10:23]:
It’s different if it was a chainsaw or a or a bomb. You know, this store bomb that we usually have there, we just have this bomb, but it’s gone missing. Yeah. Sure. That makes sense.
Sam [00:10:34]:
Slightly different, but yeah. I don’t know. I’m just glad I wasn’t there stuck.
Chris [00:10:41]:
Yeah. But they’re so polite. They would have been happily smiling away.
Sam [00:10:44]:
Maybe.
Chris [00:10:44]:
Did you see this thing about Silicon Valley? The tech firm apologizes for the sexist stunt after they received some backlash at this industry event. So what they did is, for some reason I don’t know the reason. They they had these, good looking women models, I I presume. Yeah. In a sophisticated evening gown
Sam [00:11:10]:
Okay.
Chris [00:11:11]:
Greeting people with lampshades on their faces.
Sam [00:11:15]:
Oh, that makes sense when you think about it.
Chris [00:11:18]:
Yeah. But it was just, yeah. No. They got a lot of backlash about the, women’s tight outfits with lampshades covering their heads as human lampstands. This misguided attempt to welcome guests. But reading through the article just cracked me up because everybody in the the company, the CEO and the HR department, and they’re all like, this is terrible. This is terrible. Can’t believe this happened.
Chris [00:11:45]:
Yeah. You know, whoever did it will be fired. Dude, take some responsibility. It’s your company. You’re the HR person. You’re the problem.
Sam [00:11:54]:
No. Don’t don’t worry about that. Hey, Mark Zuckerberg. How do we feel about him at the moment? I’m not sure.
Chris [00:12:01]:
He’s not so he’s not as bad as as as Musk. Put it that way.
Sam [00:12:04]:
He’s living his best life.
Chris [00:12:06]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:12:06]:
He’s been doing some cool stuff.
Chris [00:12:07]:
And those those waterboarding or waterboarding?
Sam [00:12:11]:
Wake wakeboarding? Wakeboarding. Wakeboarding. Waterboarding is something completely different.
Chris [00:12:15]:
Yeah. No. No. That’s Musk.
Sam [00:12:18]:
Wake wake boarding.
Chris [00:12:19]:
Wake boarding, videos
Sam [00:12:20]:
And the tux?
Chris [00:12:21]:
Of him and the tux, and and he’s done a couple every year.
Sam [00:12:23]:
And he’s done a bit of MMA training, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, he’s right into the Roman Empire. Like, you knew that?
Chris [00:12:33]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:12:33]:
Like, he had his his haircut for many years was based on one of the Roman tourists.
Chris [00:12:38]:
Yes. It was. Yeah.
Sam [00:12:39]:
Yeah. I think we talked about it years ago.
Chris [00:12:40]:
Yeah. I think.
Sam [00:12:41]:
In the back catalog at the chrisandsampodcast.com or wherever you find good podcasts. We’ll be there too. And, he’s created or he’s had a 7 foot tall Roman inspired sculpture of his wife made and installed in his garden.
Chris [00:12:55]:
Yeah. I saw it, actually. It’s pretty epic. I don’t know why she’s green because it just reminds me of the woman, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Sam [00:13:04]:
I think, yes, it does look very much like that, but I think it might be made of copper. So Statue of Liberty is that color because it’s oxidized. That’s not quite there yet but I reckon that may be coated but I’m not sure now. Anyway
Chris [00:13:23]:
Yeah. Don’t it doesn’t look like it should it looks like it’s still got the the green shrink-wrap on there. You’re supposed to cut it off. Yeah. You know? Yeah. That’s what it looks like to me. But but then I’m not an art person.
Sam [00:13:34]:
But remember, his neighbor’s never gonna see it because he brought all the houses around him. Oh, that’s right.
Chris [00:13:40]:
Oh, what a sad fellow.
Sam [00:13:44]:
I don’t know. Like
Chris [00:13:46]:
yeah. Yeah. Okay. Billionaires. I don’t know. Have you seen this isn’t written down. Have you seen anything of the DNC?
Sam [00:13:56]:
This is the Democratic
Chris [00:13:58]:
National Convention.
Sam [00:13:59]:
Yes. Okay. So some people that are like dickheads in general are there, like, in disguise. I’ve seen a couple of them.
Chris [00:14:10]:
Okay. So no. That But That’s actually something
Sam [00:14:13]:
That that is something that’s happening there. Right?
Chris [00:14:14]:
Yeah. Yeah. That’s my pillow, Mike Lindell.
Sam [00:14:18]:
Well, it was him and someone else.
Chris [00:14:20]:
But oh, there was this interview with him. So he’s interviewing this 10 year old 12 year old black kid. Oh, okay. And he’s like, no. It’s stolen. The the the things were stolen and blah blah blah blah blah. And this was a a Seth Meyers, you know, closer look, video. So it showed snippets of it.
Chris [00:14:39]:
And this kid turned around to him and goes, hang on. Hang on. So what you’re saying is your sources are trust me, bro? That’s your source? Like, he just this 12 year old little black kid just dunked on this guy hard, like, 3 times. And then went and then just went, you know what? They just agreed to disagree and walked off. And he goes, do you know how how how hard it is to be a 12 year old and walk away from something like that? He’s just he’s just showing up, like Liddell, so much. Actually, it’s a great clip. We might have to find that clip and and link to it in the show notes. But yeah.
Sam [00:15:19]:
We can actually insert it if I find it.
Chris [00:15:23]:
No. No? I’m not I’m not looking around with that now. So,
Sam [00:15:27]:
Oh, no. Not right now. Like, I mean, well, I either In future. Okay.
Chris [00:15:30]:
But DNC, yeah. So it’s a national convention, and they’ve got all these people doing speeches, and it’s gone off. So the RNC, the Republican National Convention, was a couple of months ago, right, just before, Biden stepped down. So he’s
Sam [00:15:46]:
And today, as we record this, they’ve just voted in
Chris [00:15:50]:
Kamala Harris is is being nominated as the nominee. Yes. She’s voted in as the Yeah.
Sam [00:15:55]:
Yeah. That’s okay.
Chris [00:15:56]:
So, but yes. So a couple of months ago, they had the RNC, and the biggest stars they had there were Hulk Hogan
Sam [00:16:04]:
He has lost the plot. And Kid Rock.
Chris [00:16:07]:
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And, there was some one other person. So they’re like yeah. And this one, they they had a special, talk from because she’s an independent. She’s not political. Oprah Winfrey.
Sam [00:16:22]:
Oh, okay.
Chris [00:16:23]:
They got P!nk singing. Yeah. They’ve had, Lil’ Lil’ John, who I don’t really know.
Sam [00:16:29]:
1 of the Lils.
Chris [00:16:29]:
Yep. 1 of the Lils. Lil’ John. They had John Legend. Yep. They had, Stevie Wonder.
Sam [00:16:37]:
And then, of course, they’d be there. They’d make so much money.
Chris [00:16:40]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I think it’s all voluntary for that.
Sam [00:16:43]:
Oh, maybe. Maybe. Okay.
Chris [00:16:45]:
It’s all voluntary because it’s political. Because if they pay them
Sam [00:16:49]:
Oh, I see.
Chris [00:16:49]:
Yeah. It has to come out. Yeah. Anyway. So anyway, yeah. No. It’s it’s it looks like it’s it’s pretty good. And and and the Americans are fired up.
Chris [00:16:56]:
The Democrats are fired up, which is happening, which is pretty impressive.
Sam [00:17:01]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:17:01]:
And it’s just like, yeah. But Donald Trump’s still gonna win.
Sam [00:17:06]:
I don’t know. You don’t know. Hulk Hogan said he was gonna body slam her, Kamala.
Chris [00:17:11]:
Oh god.
Sam [00:17:12]:
And because he started acting bat shit more than normal they’ve canceled the Hulk Hogan movie.
Chris [00:17:18]:
Oh really?
Sam [00:17:19]:
So there’s a Hulk Hogan movie with Chris Hemsworth gonna play Hulk Hogan. And I think from what I saw, it was a official photo and it’s him doing a pose holding a belt that Hulk Hogan did back in the day and they’re side by side and he’s bulked up and his muscles are almost as big and he looks just like him. Really good. And they just pulled the pin today. That’s For various reasons.
Chris [00:17:44]:
That’s a shame. It that’s a shame, but, makes a lot of sense because when people are losing the plot, I mean, god.
Sam [00:17:52]:
It’s weird though, because, like, the other person that’s completely off the rails is that Kevin Sorbo guy who was Hercules.
Chris [00:18:00]:
I didn’t know he’d gone off the rails.
Sam [00:18:02]:
Oh, he’s a crazy conspiracy weirdo. He’s a complete nut job. Absolute complete nut job.
Chris [00:18:08]:
Oh, yeah. Because there’s another guy
Sam [00:18:09]:
And I can’t I think he
Chris [00:18:11]:
who’s a complete nut job. And I’m going, oh, that’s not fair. Why why why he was used to be cool.
Sam [00:18:17]:
It makes you wonder if they were always a nut job. So obviously, he spent a lot of time in New Zealand back in the day
Chris [00:18:23]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:18:24]:
Filming the show. And I like, I’m just thinking about that. I wonder if he only became popular because the show and then he only came to New Zealand because he was just a random actor. I’m not sure.
Chris [00:18:35]:
Yeah. I don’t think it was I think that was his big break
Sam [00:18:39]:
It must have been.
Chris [00:18:40]:
Was that show. So, yeah, I think he got the opportunity to go to New Zealand, then it became big. And egos and cocaine, that would usually do it for you. I’m sure.
Sam [00:18:50]:
Probably.
Chris [00:18:51]:
I’m guessing. I’m guessing. Anyway, moving on. So this this story, made me laugh a little bit. So, this guy is, he goes to Burger King. How how much burger can you get for, I I don’t know, a a a a couple of vials of meth? I’m trying to think what what are the units of drugs, and I don’t know what the units of drug
Sam [00:19:19]:
Oh, I’ll have to ask I’ll the guy I work with. He’ll know.
Chris [00:19:21]:
Yeah. A couple of vials of meth or something.
Sam [00:19:24]:
Okay.
Chris [00:19:24]:
So how much Burger King you eat for a couple of vials of meth, do you think?
Sam [00:19:28]:
So did the person take the vials and go
Chris [00:19:32]:
get This guy goes into Burger King and he’s, he’s going I’ll I’ll read the the story as it’s written, actually. A man who was convicted of pointing a gun at a Burger King drive through worker who wouldn’t accept drugs for payment for his burger. Yeah.
Sam [00:19:49]:
Fair enough.
Chris [00:19:49]:
He’s like, that’ll be 5.95. Well, here’s some heroin. No. Here’s some here’s some meth. Here’s some whatever. Doesn’t say what it was. And then the guy’s going, I can’t take that. It’s 5.95 or whatever it is.
Chris [00:20:01]:
Yeah. Yeah. The guy pulls a gun out and starts shooting. So he gets prison sentence. How long does he get? He didn’t kill anyone, by the way. And as far as I know, I don’t think he even hit anybody.
Sam [00:20:12]:
25 years. 143 years. Oh, come on.
Chris [00:20:17]:
No. Meanwhile, meanwhile, Trump’s broken every rule in the universe. And he’s and he’s not gonna get anything. That’s so funny. Anyway, I’ve got a question here. They found a guilty of 17 crimes, including 8 counts of attempted murder, which I think is because he pulled the trigger 8 times or something. But I don’t think anyone got hurt. I I don’t think that anyone got shot.
Chris [00:20:43]:
Mind you, they don’t might not mention that anymore because, you know, it’s so common occurrence.
Sam [00:20:48]:
Probably. Say that. Okay.
Chris [00:20:50]:
A 143 years in prison, they sell their ears.
Sam [00:20:52]:
I’ve got a question for you and this touches on 2 things that you’ve done in the past. This is a good crossover and it’s from Japan again. Okay. Karate Yep. And haunted house attraction. Karate expert in Japan goes to a haunted house attraction, gets a bit startled by one of the workers, kicks the guy in the jaw and breaks it. Right? Could happen. Could happen.
Sam [00:21:15]:
Could happen.
Chris [00:21:16]:
So we’ve we’ve been hit when I was doing, the Spookers Yeah. Which is the ordinary house attraction here in New Zealand. I was a scare actor, for a year or so. And Note note this is a
Sam [00:21:28]:
top tip for the 500th episode. Note that down as a as a job. Just saying.
Chris [00:21:34]:
Oh, yes. So people will be at the 500th episode.
Sam [00:21:37]:
Give it away.
Chris [00:21:38]:
Oh, okay. Alright.
Sam [00:21:38]:
They’ll work it out.
Chris [00:21:39]:
They’ll work it out. Alright. So anyway, yeah. A lot of people got hit.
Sam [00:21:43]:
Oh, yeah. It’s
Chris [00:21:44]:
because because you do scare them. You step out of shadow Yeah. And you’re in there. Yeah. I used to do it all the time. I’m very good at it. Sneaking into behind people and doing the hello in their ear. And that’s just a normal Monday for this.
Sam [00:21:59]:
That’s not even at a haunted house attraction. That’s them out in the public.
Chris [00:22:02]:
And, people jump and they they yes. So I nobody’s actually tried to hit me. No. I’m big. Yeah. But, yeah, a lot of the girls got hit.
Sam [00:22:13]:
It’s scary, like, from a health and safety perspective because how are you supposed to minimize or isolate that?
Chris [00:22:20]:
So so they’re told they are not to touch the actors, and it’s repeated a lot. But, yeah, sometimes you you when you genuinely frighten somebody, they they react in in really weird ways. And have I ever told I’m gonna tell about the story. It was one of my favorite times that ever happened at at the haunted house. So
Sam [00:22:39]:
Okay.
Chris [00:22:39]:
When you you’re going through the haunted house, there are a lot of, little nooks and crannies that purpose built for the scare axes to either hide in hidey hole or you can come out
Sam [00:22:49]:
between places, easily. Yeah.
Chris [00:22:52]:
So in this particular room, you, you come in a door, and it’s by the head of a bed. Yeah. And then the room, you’ve got to walk around the bed to the other door. Yeah. Right? And so there’s a door at either head of the bed. And then as you go around the room, it goes past the closet, which is in the far corner, and that closet is actually another room, but we’ve made it look like a closet, and the backing is just material. Okay. And I’m hiding in there looking through.
Sam [00:23:19]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:23:20]:
And on the bed are 2, 2, corpses, basically, holding hands. I called them Brad and Janet.
Sam [00:23:27]:
Actors or fake
Chris [00:23:29]:
Fake fake prosthetic
Sam [00:23:30]:
Oh, your props. Like props. Props.
Chris [00:23:31]:
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So they were done by Weta’s Weta Workshop. Actually, those ones, I think. And so I know a bunch of things were done by Weta. I think those were they’re real they look really good.
Sam [00:23:40]:
Yeah.
Chris [00:23:41]:
And and there’s a black and white TV with the fritzy thing going on. It’s just got no pictures. It’s just fritzy. And so I’m sitting there and I’d I’d watch people come in and I had this whole thing going. I I come out, did I have a machete or something? I hate coming out with something. And I’m like, yeah. Brad and Janet, you know, and and had this whole sweepy story, and I was I was like, insane. Coming out like this insane person.
Chris [00:24:07]:
So these 4 people come in, like, 2 couples, 2 guys, 2 girls, and as soon as they come in, one goes because in in this, how haunted the house they go through, there’s a lot of rooms where there’s nobody, so they’re just looking at the set sort of thing. And so he goes, I’m already freaked out by that TV there just blistering away in the corner. I’m like, hey. And so, what you try and do is you often try and split people. So the girls were in front, the guys were behind. Yeah. And so I I jumped I’d step out of the wardrobe
Sam [00:24:40]:
But between?
Chris [00:24:41]:
Between the the girls and the guys, and I’m into my axe, whatever. And this woman dived like rugby dived and landed on the corpses. And then she’s like and I’m looking, like, what the fuck are you doing? And then she’s like, oh my god. Oh my god. She’s in this guts and this corpse. And she’s just losing her shit. And I’m trying not to laugh and keep their heads going. The other girl is in the corner between the door frame and the corner, like, just huddled there like a little tub.
Chris [00:25:13]:
And I think the boys were just laughing. And I’m trying not to laugh through this thing. But her just doing a rugby dive away from me and landing on the corpses and then freaking the out because she’s on top of these corpses. Crazy. Funniest stuff.
Sam [00:25:28]:
But that’s the thing. You don’t know how people are gonna react in certain situations.
Chris [00:25:31]:
Exactly. And that was my point. Like, I’m sure she never thought she would dive anywhere Yeah. For any reason.
Sam [00:25:37]:
So this Japanese dude was claiming in court because it went to court Yeah. That the park was partly responsible for this altercation. Right? It took 13 years to settle. It was a 13 year court case.
Chris [00:25:55]:
Well, is that because I couldn’t find the scissors?
Sam [00:25:59]:
I think so.
Chris [00:26:01]:
That I I don’t think that’s fair, though. I when I when I did martial arts, I think my control was way more.
Sam [00:26:11]:
I think so.
Chris [00:26:12]:
I don’t I wouldn’t have jumped to anything like that.
Sam [00:26:15]:
No. Because I mean,
Chris [00:26:17]:
if I was physically pulled or pushed or touched, I might.
Sam [00:26:21]:
Yeah. But even then, you’ve got, like, probably faster reactions than a normal person. Yeah. And you’re like in your head, you’re probably running it through going, oh, hang on. What what’s the intent of this push or grab?
Chris [00:26:32]:
Yeah. And and, like, it would have been better then than it is now. Like, my reactions are way slower and
Sam [00:26:37]:
It’s because you’re old. Yeah. And you’ve got a bigger pass.
Chris [00:26:40]:
You’ve got a bigger pass. And practice. But when you’re training all the time
Sam [00:26:43]:
Yeah. True.
Chris [00:26:43]:
You know, and I was doing tournament stuff all the time. Yeah. Anyway. Okay. That’s interesting. Cool. Cool. Cool.
Chris [00:26:50]:
Alright. Whatever happened to Kevin Spacey? He got What did you think of him anyway?
Sam [00:26:57]:
Well, he was just an actor. I never
Chris [00:26:59]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:27:00]:
Thought that he was creepy or anything.
Chris [00:27:01]:
I thought he was alright. I mean, yeah, I I I thought everybody get went on. He was fantastic. I thought he’s alright. I didn’t think he was He
Sam [00:27:08]:
was pretty good. House of Cards. I like that.
Chris [00:27:10]:
Yeah. See, I didn’t really get into that. I started watching it after the whole drama. But Oh, okay. But, yeah, I yeah. I I think I watched maybe a season of it. The, what I did like was the
Sam [00:27:24]:
what is that? Source? The The Usual Suspects.
Chris [00:27:28]:
Usual Suspects. That’s it. That was a brilliant film. So, anyway, you don’t see see much of him because he got, canceled.
Sam [00:27:35]:
Because he’s creepy. But he didn’t didn’t he win or not get sentenced or something or not? He didn’t lose a court battle, I think. They threw it out, did they?
Chris [00:27:44]:
You’re gonna tell me something. Like that.
Sam [00:27:46]:
Okay.
Chris [00:27:46]:
But this is what I heard the latest thing. So a Bethesda real estate investor.
Sam [00:27:52]:
Okay.
Chris [00:27:52]:
Nabbed Kevin Spacey’s waterfront Baltimore mansion at auction last month for a bargain.
Sam [00:27:59]:
Okay.
Chris [00:28:00]:
Only now he’s got a problem.
Sam [00:28:02]:
Oh, no.
Chris [00:28:03]:
Spacey is not willing to leave.
Sam [00:28:06]:
Oh, because does that mean he’s still got those squatter rights? Is that what it is?
Chris [00:28:11]:
Something like that. So, basically, he’s it it had a, hang on. Let’s say what do you call it? It’s it’s in here somewhere. Foreclosure foreclosure auction. So he had had a foreclosure auction. He bought it for a for Song. Spacey’s still at Spacey said, right now, he’s he’s refusing to leave. He’s asking for 6 months to leave the property without paying anything.
Chris [00:28:38]:
So he just wants to live there for 6 more months. So he’s bought the house, for 3,240,000 at a foreclosure auction Yep. And apparently, it’d be worth, like A lot more. Okay. So 10,000,000 maybe or something like that. Yeah. So this this this guy, Ascari, who bought it, he’s a biomedical engineer turned real estate investor.
Sam [00:29:01]:
Of course.
Chris [00:29:02]:
Yeah. And so, he’s he’s had to pay a $100,000 deposit. Now he’s like, well, I can’t do anything till I get rid of this dude. So, yeah.
Sam [00:29:16]:
Good luck with that. That brings us to the end of the podcast, and, you don’t have to get rid of us. We leave after 30 minutes. Remember that?
Chris [00:29:26]:
Yeah. But there is the back catalog. So if you if you go, oh, you can go and listen to more of us.
Sam [00:29:32]:
We apologize for some of the episodes.
Chris [00:29:34]:
Yeah. Particularly some of the earlier ones.
Sam [00:29:37]:
The sound quality occasionally was a bit rubbish, and sometimes I sounded depressed and just tired.
Chris [00:29:44]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:29:45]:
So tired.
Chris [00:29:46]:
So for the first 6 months.
Sam [00:29:47]:
But I don’t know why because I’m not
Chris [00:29:49]:
For the first 6 months. I don’t know. It’s almost like you got in front of a microphone and you had to be, I have to be serious now. I’m serious now.
Sam [00:29:57]:
But thinking back about it, it’s a bit weird, because I’m not like, I can talk normally, but apparently not listening back. But I don’t know. At the time, I don’t think I noticed.
Chris [00:30:08]:
No. No. I I yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s
Sam [00:30:12]:
