Seán McLoughlin

Brain lake. As you can see, there's just no way doesn't fit. That's never gonna go on your hand. It's never gonna go on my hand. There's no way.

Ethan Nestor

There's absolutely doesn't fit my hand. There's no way. Doesn't fit my hands. I couldn't have done it. There's no way.

But if I did it, I'd probably write a book about it and talk about the ways I would have done it anyway. OJ's dead. Yep. Happy brain leak, everyone. Welcome back to another glorious episode.

Seán McLoughlin

Woke up this morning, got myself a gun. I started watching that show yesterday. Hell, yeah. For the first time ever. I just finished it like a few months ago.

I watched the first episode and then I fell asleep after the first. After I started the second episode. Cause I was really tired. Then I woke up to the fourth episode and I said, no, I need to go. I need to go back.

So I'm gonna start watching it. Cause I really liked the first episode. The Sopranos. Yeah, it's very good. I like it a lot.

Ethan Nestor

There's a few shows that anytime anybody hears that HBO fizzle and the.

For me, it used to be the Sex and the City theme would play do do do do do do because my sister used to watch it when I was younger, and then I really got into it as well. And when you're young, it's like, I'll take any excuse to see titties. Oh, yeah. And then for other people, it's Game of Thrones kicks in. When you hear that sound.

Seán McLoughlin

Oh, yeah. Which I have been watching again right now. What. What season are you gonna stop watching? I wanna.

Ethan Nestor

I wanna say that I'll stop watching before the end, but I'm honestly, I just like having something on in the background while I paint and stuff that I'll probably just watch the whole thing. And it's nice to have something on that you already know. So it's like, you don't need to really. A lot of people are like, you got to watch succession and you got to watch White Lotus and things like that. I'm like, I know I'd like them, but my brain doesn't want to accept that those are good shows.

It just wants to watch what it's already seen. Yeah, exactly. I want to eat the food I've already eaten. I want to play the games I've already played, and I want to watch the shows I've already watched. I want my comfort.

Seán McLoughlin

I almost had some comfort last night. I was going. I was getting in bed and I was like, I want to play a little Bellatro on my switch and I want to have a movie on in the background. So I had a movie on in the background and I was. I was paying attention to the movie actually a lot because I was.

I was watching the movie and then playing a little bit of Bellatro on the ground. What movie were you watching? It is a movie that you're gonna go, what, you didn't see that? And I'd never seen it before. The original Predator with Arnold in 1987 or whatever it is.

And I didn't realize that Predator is the movie where the get to the chopper quote is from. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah. I had no idea. Come on.

Ethan Nestor

I'm here. Come on. Do it. Give me. Give me now.

Yeah. Predator fucking rules. It was very fun. It's also, like, the only good Predator movie. Really?

Seán McLoughlin

Cause I was gonna watch alien versus predator after that. I mean, good in the sense of, like, putting on my cinema enthusiast specs, but I still like Predator two because it takes place in LA and it's fun to watch. And there's just some good lines in it and good scenes. And I watched it as a kid, so now some of the, like, sounds are burned into my brain forever. And then all the other ones sucked.

Ethan Nestor

And then prey. The new one is pretty good. Is Arnold in any of them other than the first? Nope. Oh, damn, damn, damn.

Which, the first one is just so perfect. It's like all the badass guys. And the time it came out was like all these movies were all about like, yeah, big guys go in, kill all the foreigners and. Yeah, yeah, America. And then it's like, no alien comes and kills all you fuckers.

Seán McLoughlin

Uh huh. I also didn't realize that that's where the handshake meme is from. With the two arms. R I P. Carl Weathers as well.

Ethan Nestor

Yeah, he's dead now, too. They got him pushing too many pencils and then he died. Yeah, that's what says in the movie. Pushing too many pencils is a very fun movie, though. It's always fun to watch those movies from the eighties and be like, oh, man, the VFX is so funny.

Seán McLoughlin

Like the cloaking device for predators. You guys can't see him. It's pretty obvious right there. He kind of. Yeah, he kind of.

Ethan Nestor

I love the shot where you can't see him and then his eyes just. Go, yeah, it's so cool. And then Ernie, fighting him at the end, lights his thing and then he. Just goes, oh, yeah, he's covered in mud. Or me and Evelyn, every now and then I'll say a joke and like the guy in the movie was like, what does he say about her pussy?

It's like, geez, that's a big pussy. Geez, that's a big pussy. Because of the echo. Sometimes if a joke doesn't land when each other has a turn and go.

Seán McLoughlin

It'S a very fun movie. The soundtrack was making me giggle the whole time because they're just walking through the woods and it's very epic. I mean, it's an eighties movie. Yeah, I like that. It's like they're not doing anything right now.

Why is the music so intense? I don't like Jesse Ventura. Except for that movie. Yeah. Which it's a weird thing to be like, oh, you were just playing yourself.

Ethan Nestor

I don't think you were. I didn't know. I don't think you knew that there was a movie being filmed. I think you just showed up and you were like, we gotta kill some foreign people. Let's go.

But him and it just, with that music playing in the background, he's like, I'm a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus. Yeah, I ain't got time to bleed. You retain those quotes so well. I've seen that movie about 15 times. Yeah.

Favorite movies as well. So we're quoting it all the time with each other, sir. Whenever we get like snacks, I'd be like, want some candy? Cuz there's a part in, I think it's predator two where they're talking about he like replicates the voice or Evelyn will be doing something. I'd be like, turn around, turn around.

Seán McLoughlin

It's a very fun movie. Yeah, good shit. I would say alien versus Predator is also pretty fun. I like that movie. It's not a good movie, but I like it.

So I have a question about Predator. Okay. Yeah. And this is a person who doesn't really know a lot about predator. I love the alien movies, but this is the first time seeing Predator.

So does he wear the helmet because. You'Ve come to the resident predator expert. Ah, yes, a youtuber.

Does he wear the helmet because he only sees heat? Is that what's going on? No, the helmet helps him see heat. His regular vision is that like weird red vision that you see at the end of it. But that's how he sees on his planet.

Ethan Nestor

And then on Earth, the atmosphere and stuff is all fucked. So he has to put on the helmet to wear it. I think they can breathe our atmosphere, but very poorly. Mm hmm. He is real ugly.

Seán McLoughlin

Damn. But in the later movies, they have, like, they have, like, crazy vision. It's like the heat vision, night vision. Then they have vision that's like, like x ray vision, shit like that. Mm hmm.

Ethan Nestor

So it gets really bizarre. But predators steal their tech from other things they've killed, so normally they're just like, warriors with claws and, like, big mandibles. And then their society is based on, like, technology they've stolen from other things. So is the tech that they're stealing. Laughs.

Seán McLoughlin

Because he steals the laugh and the voice. It's like they're basically just, like, pillage planets and steal their tech and their culture and their skulls and use them as trophies. They want to be, like, the best of the best in the galaxy. Now I want to watch all the alien movies again. There's a cool part in Predator two at the end where you see all the skulls on the wall, and one of them is xenomorph skull.

Ethan Nestor

And then everyone was like, aliens and predators are the same universe. And then that was where the whole thing. Mm hmm. I want to watch all the alien movies again, except I don't want to watch. What was it?

Seán McLoughlin

It came out in, like, 2018 or something. Alien Covenant. Yeah, I don't want to watch that one again. We. Evelyn loves the alien movies as well.

Ethan Nestor

What? So do I. And alien one is awesome. And then alien. Aliens one is like dead space one, and aliens is like Dead space two, where it's like, one's a horror movie and one's an action movie with horror elements, and they're both amazing.

And then alien three, everyone was like, no, four is the bad one. Right? And I was like, alien three is awful. What are you talking about? And then we watched it, and it was like.

She was like, yeah, this is really bad. What happened? Aliens is my favorite of the alien movies. Yeah. Which is the second alien movie, I.

Think Wan is my favorite. But two I remember more fondly. I remember that as a kid. Like the suit and get away from her, you bitch. And Bishop getting ripped in half by the queen.

Seán McLoughlin

Yes. That whole scene. Now, if I see it, it gives me shivers up my back. Cause I'm like, oh, I'm a kid again, and I'm getting scared. Yeah, I remember flight.

My dad was so excited to show me those movies for the first time. Cause I think Aliens is one of his favorite movies. I don't think it's his favorite movie. I think his favorite movie is the abyss, actually, that Elle stuck just came. Out in 4k HDR did it.

Ethan Nestor

Also. James Cameron, he also did it. Yeah. Apparently a nightmare to work on. I want to watch that documentary.

Seán McLoughlin

There's a documentary about the abyss. Apparently it was a horrific set to be on. All the actors, like, thought that they were gonna die. Yeah, we cause it re released for the anniversary. So me and Evelyn watched it like a month ago, two months ago.

Ethan Nestor

How's it hold up? It's pretty good. It's very long, and a lot of stuff is kind of weird in it towards the end. But we were thinking that as well. I was like, man, you never see a movie like this because it's all underwater.

Like, there's so many fully underwater scenes in the movie. That's not like it's all done practically. And. Yeah, yeah, it must have been a fucking joke to work on that. I haven't seen that movie in a really long time.

Seán McLoughlin

But for some reason, when I think about that movie and I. I'm pretty sure from my memory, the alien underwater is just like a weird little orb thing, right? Yeah, it's like a jellyfishy see through kind of thing. And then they see like the big giant ship at the end of the civilization, and then it, like, rises up in my brain. It looks like the jellyfish thing that you sent a few days ago on the fifth in the green on our discord.

Ethan Nestor

But he's more purpley. Like Purpley Bluey. Continuing our theme of underwater movies. Did you see the movie underwater with. I did.

Seán McLoughlin

Kristen Seward. I liked that movie a lot. I thought it was fun. Yeah, it's kind of boring to watch it a second time because once you know that the ending is the best part, then the whole setup is like, that's kind of sucks, but it's. It's pretty fun.

Ethan Nestor

We don't often get many Cthulhu movies. That's about as close as we get to one. So I'm happy with it. That going to the thing at the end, they're like, walking through and seeing all the guys, like, stuck to the roof and everything and seeing the giant guy, that's. That's awesome.

Seán McLoughlin

I want more eldritch horror movies. We all do, but they don't sell. No, they don't. Horror in general is just a hard sell. Unless you're doing like.

Ethan Nestor

Like any sort of, like, unless you are alien. Any sort of like, alien Sci-Fi weird thing like that just doesn't ever really do well. We even saw it dead space one remake came out, apparently only sold a million units. And then EA were like, yeah, we're not doing the sequel. There's conflicting reports of them saying it was never in development, which is also crap.

And also that it was started and then the developers were moved off of it to Battlefield and they're doing an Iron man game because it sold so poorly. And everyone was like, no, no, no. It was actually just never planned. And I was like, that's worse. We're just arguing over how dead it is.

It is sad. It is hard for horror to be real mainstream. It needs to be like ghosts and ouija boards and like those types of horrors, like a bump in the night haunted house kind of thing. But you can't. As soon as you put like aliens and shit into it.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah. Cause in my mind, there's so many horror movies that are like, oh, this movie was huge. Or like, it was a really good horror movie, but it actually, like, was a bit more niche as far as movies go. Yeah. You know, like the most popular horror movies of the last decade is what I'm looking at.

The Babadook is on there, which I feel like is kind of niche still. The Babadook. Yeah, I do. Obviously hereditary in hereditary. Get out us it.

Those are all like huge horror movies that got into the mainstream. Yeah. I am excited to see, just because I've been seeing trailers recently for it. I'm excited to see the new quiet place movie. Oh, yeah, quiet place day one or whatever.

I didn't see part two. Was part two good? Yeah, I, you should just, well, if you don't want to watch the whole movie, I'd say watch the whole movie. But to get into the mood for the new one, you should watch the opening to the second movie. The opening to the second movie is the best part of the whole thing because it shows like, like John Krasinski's back and it's like before it happened and it shows how it happened.

Ethan Nestor

And I think that that was so successful and people like that part of the movie so much that that's why they're doing the third one as like, d day. Yeah, but it's fucking sick. There's like big uninterrupted shots in it and like, the sound design and the monsters and the, the way the camerawork is all done is fucking awesome. It's so much better than the rest of the movie. I don't know why the start of it goes so hard.

Seán McLoughlin

Is the rest of the movie just kind of a letdown? It's not so much a letdown. It's just, it's kind of more of the same. It's still really good, and I still like that movie. And Cillian Murphy is obviously my sweet cork boy, but love Killian Murphy.

Ethan Nestor

It's still. It's like, if you've seen the first one, the second one, I would say, doesn't add much more to the, like, lore and the world. It's just fun to be in that again. But the first one's a much stronger movie. Mm hmm.

Seán McLoughlin

I. Well, if I. If I watch it, I'll watch. I'll watch the whole movie. I don't like watching just parts of a movie unless I've already seen it.

I was. And I know that she's listening to it, and I'm calling her out right now, and this is fine. Uh, my mother. Mom, I don't like that you do this, and I'm calling you out. She was telling me the other day.

Cause she was here a little bit ago, and she was like, I watched. I went out for the day, and she was like, I'm gonna sit here and watch a movie. And I was like, okay, great. And so she watched poor things. I haven't seen poor things.

I haven't either, but I've heard some really good things, some really bad things. Anyway, I was like, oh, how did you like it? And she was like, it was all right. I skipped through a lot of it, though, because, like, parts of it were a little bit boring. But, like, I liked it in the end.

And I was sitting there and again, love my mom. But, mom, sometimes you gotta call out the people that you love. Don't do that. Don't skip through a movie. You can't have.

You can't form a. You can't say I liked it in. The end when you skipped bits of it. Yeah. You're not a reliable source of feedback.

If I'm asking you for your opinion on something and you skipped through parts of it, I thought you were gonna. Say that she, like, stopped halfway, and I was like, I know a lot of people that do that, but you're skipping. No, no. Even, like, you know, if you stop halfway and you don't come back, then it's like, yeah, I kinda saw it. Okay, whatever.

I'm already not gonna value your opinion. At least you have, like, a semblance of act structure, then, or, like, arcs or what the characters are like. If you're skipping bits, you can't tell that. Exactly. And that's what I said.

And she was like, well, it was just, like, through the boring parts when they were walking through the thing and just talking, and I was like, that's. That could be really important information that you're skipping through. That's probably the reason Emma Stone won an Oscar, is those parts. Ah. So, mom, I think that you should watch poor things again and not skip.

Ethan Nestor

The only thing I've heard about poor things is that there's a huge amount of sex and nudity in it. And that was it. Yes. And I was like, there's not more to it than that. And they were like, oh, yeah, obviously.

But, like, that was the thing that they came away with, the people who were talking to me about it, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess that's it. I do want to give it a go. It's a very polarizing. Yeah. And it's very.

Seán McLoughlin

What's the word that I'm looking for? Oh, it's, like, intentionally obscure and, like, weird and, like, over the top. There's a different word that I'm trying to think of, but I can't think of it. Pretentious? No.

Ethan Nestor

Stupid. Well, I guess it could be seen as pretentious and stupid and shitty. Depends on what lens you're looking through. It's like one of those very artistic movies that's. Yes.

Very obtuse. Mm hmm. I want to give it a go, though. I really want to, in this next year, watch all of the Oscar noms. I've been wanting to do that for years and years and years, and I never do it, and I always see a few of them.

Seán McLoughlin

But this next year, I want to try and make an effort to be like, okay, everything that's nominated in every category, I want to see every. In every category. Yeah. That's so many movies. I was just gonna go to best picture and see how many of those I watched.

Ethan Nestor

Oppenheimer. Yeah. American fiction. No, I actually don't know what movie that is. Oh, I do.

Anatomy of a fall. Ah. We were gonna watch that so many times and then saw how long it was, and it was like, shit, it's too late in the night to watch it now. Barbie saw holdovers. Didn't see colors of the flower moon.

Didn't see. Didn't see maestro. Didn't see past lives. Didn't see poor things. Zone of interest.

I did see. How was zone of interest? It's. It's hard to say. It's good because of the subject matter.

It's very different. And the way it's shot is very cool, but it's just the whole time I'm like, this is kind of awful. Like a family sharing a wall with a concentration camp is like. Like hearing the be. Her mother comes over and is like, oh, here's our garden, and here's.

I started planting stuff here. We have, like, potatoes, and you just hear, like, gunshots and people on the other side of the wall, like, screaming. And it's like, I don't like this. I don't know how Maestro got nominated for best picture. I didn't see it, but I've only heard horrible things about it from every person that's seen it.

Seán McLoughlin

I don't. I don't know how much truth there is to it because I don't know many business people in the film industry, but a lot of people are like, oh, it's Oscar Bate. Or, like, movies like that come out that are just designed to try and get, like, a best picture, a best actor, and just get nominations, even if it doesn't win, because at least you get an exposure. But I don't know. I think that's why I don't watch the Oscar movies, because I'm like, I'll just watch stuff that I'm interested in, like, the reason I do want to watch past lives, because I've heard really good things about that.

Ethan Nestor

And I like little sweet movies about love and life. Mm hmm. And I've heard good things about the holdovers. Those are the only two that I want to watch out of. That.

The rest of them. Yeah. Oh, anatomy of a fall. I've heard good things. I watched all of us strangers the other night.

Seán McLoughlin

Very good. That was nominated. It wasn't best picture, but that was nominated for something. I can't remember. Somewhere in there.

Ethan Nestor

Paul Mezcal. Yeah. Paul Mezcal and Andrew Scott. Very good. Very sad.

Seán McLoughlin

Very emotional. I love an emotional movie. I love. When. Are they a couple in the movie?

Yes. Mm hmm. It's a great film. I really like it a lot. Good shit.

Good, good shit. I still need to go and see, and I want a little bit of opinion from you. Okay. I really. I want to go and see Gorilla x or Gorilla Godzilla x.

Kong. Gorilla X.

I same with that movie. Have heard nothing but real bad, but it's King Kong and Godzilla and there's other monkeys there. I feel like if you're saying it that way, like, oh, but it's Kong and Godzilla, then you should absolutely see the movie, because that was the same with me. I'm like, this movie's gonna be shit. The last, like, yeah, Godzilla versus Kong was pretty shit in terms of, like, story.

Yeah. And oh, my God. I forget his name. He's in the last movie. The black actor who's, like, the conspiracy theorist.

Ethan Nestor

Forget his. Oh, yeah. I can't remember his name. He's in bullet Train. He's tangerine or lemon or whichever one he is.

Brian Tyree Henry. He's paper boy in Atlanta. Um, he's so fucking annoying in this movie, and he should not be in it. And I don't know why they brought him back. And there's so many times when it's like, you're bringing him to hollow Earth.

He has a conspiracy podcast. What are you doing? He's the perfect person to go there. And he's. He's just in it.

So he can be, like, the comic foil, but he's such a shit comic foil, which is such a shame because he's such a great actor. Yeah, but I'd say he's the only part of the movie where I'm legitimately like, stop. I want to punch something. But what about Baby Kong? I heard that everybody wants to strangle that baby.

That is so fun. He becomes really sweet towards the end, but he's like an enemy in the beginning, and it's so fun to watch. I like, there's a specific thing at the beginning when he fights against Kong and some others that I'm like, I kind of want to say it, so you'll go watch it. But it's so funny what he does that I'm like, you gotta see it. I don't want you to get spoiled on that tiny little bit.

Seán McLoughlin

I'll go and see it for sure. Cause I love a Godzilla movie. Yeah, there's so much fun. And at the end of the day, we all know, except for minus one, that the plot is gonna be shit. And so you know what you're signing up for.

It's like, okay, I'm gonna go and see some big old monsters fight. I think. Sweet. I'm usually a snob when it comes to movies, and I'll be, like, picking stuff apart. But Godzilla is, like, I don't care.

Ethan Nestor

Like, even the 1999, like, is it Roland Emmerich that made, like, the american one that has Hank Azaria? And I haven't seen any of the older Godzilla movies. Oh, I haven't seen the original ones. There's so many. There's, like, 50 plus Godzilla movies.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah, there's so many of them. But it's fine. I it's just big monsters beating the shit out of each other. Good sound design, cool set pieces. It's fun.

Ethan Nestor

Just watch it. Who cares? Turn off your brain. Yeah. Just watch some big monkeys throw each other around.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah. Hell yeah. Watch a movie that is 90% cg. Yeah. Yeah.

Ethan Nestor

It's sick. Hell yeah, baby. It's fun. And it doesn't make any sense when you, like, pick it apart. Yeah.

And there's some stuff that they hid from the trailers and the promotional material that's like, oh, this shot of them together actually has, like, another character in it, but they, like, cut them out for the poster to be like, surprise. Like. Like Spider man. No way home. It's alternate dimension.

Seán McLoughlin

Uh, King Kong. It's Percy. Percy Jackson. Peter Jackson's king Kong comes in. It's actually the conga verse.

Ethan Nestor

They go into Hollow Earth and they go, there is a part in it where they go into Hollow Earth and then they find a thing that goes down. And I turn to Evelyn and I was like, hollower Earth. And then it basically is Hollower Earth. It's hollow Earth inside Hollow Earth. And I was like, me and Evelyn just laughed out loud in the cinema.

Seán McLoughlin

It's so good. It's so good. Anyway, go watch it. Stop pissing or piss or get off the pot, whatever. Just watch a movie.

Yeah. I think it's important to remind people that you can like movies because they're entertaining. Being entertaining and being on. On paper good, or whatever. Two different things.

Ethan Nestor

You're allowed, like, whatever you like. Just don't tell the Internet about it. Yeah. As soon as you tell the Internet about it, they'll pick it apart and tell you why you're wrong and everything's miserable. Mm hmm.

Seán McLoughlin

God, I don't do that. I haven't. I haven't been on the Internet recently. The only form of Internet that I've really been on is, like, looking through people's Instagram Stories, and that's about it. But it's been so nice being off of Twitter.

And that was a crazy thing this morning was when I heard the news that OJ Simpson died. Somebody texted me about it and I was like, whoa, I had no idea. And also, shit, I should get a better source for my news than what I had, which was Twitter. Twitter is a very bad place to get your news. So if anybody has any, I just.

Ethan Nestor

Browse the front page of Reddit, like, two or three times a day to be like, okay. Anything new happening? No. Yeah, it's about it. I usually get, like, video game announcements and, like, stuff like that happens.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, it's the same. You text me and you were like, oh, boy, the news today. And I was like, what happened? What?

Ethan Nestor

Like, I don't, I don't go on Twitter. I don't really use Instagram. I guess I use Reddit, but like, that's like before bed or something. Yeah. So it's like, and if you're not, if you don't have a tv watching the news, it's like, how do you get your news?

And like, I don't. It's great. I don't really want to know what the world is up to most of the time. Don't even know what I'm up to most of the time. This, this morning, I guess.

Seán McLoughlin

Was it this morning? Yeah, it was announced that OJ Simpson died of cancer at 76. Oh, he died of cancer? Mm hmm. Oh, he died of cancer at 76.

Former NFL player. Former, probably murder. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was a murderer. It's pretty, you know, the glove didn't fit, but, you know, I love that. I cuz I didn't.

Ethan Nestor

He, wasn't he accused of killing two people, like his girlfriend and the waiter or something like that? I just realized that I don't actually know a whole lot about the OJ Simpson case other than there was a glove. He got acquitted of it and that's it. Yes, you are correct. So it was, he was acquitted of murder in 1995, the murder of his ex wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Seán McLoughlin

It was one of the most notorious criminal trials in american history. I remember seeing the results of it and people like, in Times Square, the whole world stopped and we're waiting for it. But it was also like, it's not just because OJ Simpson was such a big deal that everybody was watching. It was because it was a black man on trial. So it was very divisive with, like, racism and things like that in America.

Ethan Nestor

So there's so many clips of people just watching it and like, yeah, there's like whole rooms of like, white people and black people together. And the black people are all cheering and the white people are always like, oh, no. Because it was like, oh, it's a win that another black man doesn't go to jail and things like that. So it was such a, it was such a divisive case all across the country. And it's only now, like, looking back at it that I'm like, this is wild that so much of the world cared about this thing.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah. Everybody was watching it on tv all the time because you could just watch the live, the live court case. Yeah. Which I can't remember the last time there was a court case like that? I guess the Johnny Depp and Amber heard stuff, which I didn't realize is.

Ethan Nestor

Up to the judge to decide if the case is interesting enough that they're allowed to agree to just let it be filmed or broadcast. If they're like, it's. It's of public interest enough that we're gonna broadcast this trial. I had never thought about that before, actually, of, like, which cases get broadcasted. Yeah.

It's like, why would that one be broadcast of all things? Yeah. And especially, like, a murder trial as well. It's like, dude, the families of these people are like, part of this. Yeah.

Seán McLoughlin

Damn. I didn't think about that because what other, what other famous court cases were televised? Casey Anthony, I think, was televised. Famous televised court trials? Yeah.

Ethan Nestor

I can't think of any others off the top of my head. I think it's because it's all very american. I don't think we really do that here. Yeah, it would, there would just be a lot of time adjusting the wigs and stuff. In England.

A lot of people wouldn't understand the accents. Yeah, I think he did it. What did he say? I think he did it. Probably don't, you know?

So the whole. Is, is the whole reason OJ got away with it because of a glove, or is there more to it? And that just became the meme. Uh, I think that that definitely, like, became the meme. And it is kind of funny seeing the footage be like, ah, dump it on my hand.

Turns out he just left his hand out in the sun all day, and it got really swollen and fat, and he was like, see, it doesn't fit. Yeah, let's see. Let me read this little thing. On October 2, 1995, the jury finally began deliberating and reached a verdict. Verdict in less than 4 hours.

Seán McLoughlin

However, it was delayed. The announcement was delayed until the following. Until the following day. On October 3, Simpson was found not guilty of the murders. After the verdict, polls of public opinion continued to break down along racial lines, like you were just saying, but it doesn't say.

Ethan Nestor

It's funny how I know more of the outcome than I do about the actual trial. Yeah, okay. Although Simpson was acquitted in the criminal case, he was also sued by the victims families for wrongful death. But death and the civil trial began on October 1996. Less than four months later, that jury found him responsible for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman and awarded their families 33.5 million in damages.

Seán McLoughlin

Did he go to jail for that? Wait, no, it would have. It was a civil. I'm so confused. I don't understand courts.

I don't understand how our legal system works. It's wild. I don't think it does. Mm hmm. No.

Ethan Nestor

And I didn't realize that. I've watched naked guns so many times, I didn't realize that he is the guy in that, like, he goes down the wheelchair and, like, bounces off the steps and he gets shot and he, like, falls into the cake and falls off the edge of the boat and things like that. I didn't know that was him. That's so weird. It's like he might have killed two people.

Oh, you got away with it. Be in our movie. So he, he was imprisoned at age 61 and he served nine years in a remote northern Nevada prison. But that was after he was convicted of armed robbery and other felonies. He committed armed robbery?

Seán McLoughlin

I guess so. In his sixties. What? Hold on, I'm. So when did OJ Simpson, the robbery case?

Oh, it was in 2007 at a casino in which Simpson and five men, at least two, carrying guns, stole sports memorabilia worth thousands of dollars from two dealers. Simpson said he was trying to recover his own property, but was sentenced up to 33 years in prison. He only served nine. What? This is wild.

Ethan Nestor

This guy doesn't sound great. Well, no. Yeah. Not a good person, not a good role model. No, it's pretty certain.

Seán McLoughlin

A lot of people really think that he did do the murders, and there's a lot of evidence suggesting that there's no way that it wasn't him. Well, I wanted to bring up the book thing, and it's probably a fact that everybody knows now that he wanted to do a book called if I did it, which is him going up, like, showing what he would have done if he was to kill his wife. And then the family were like, we don't want that to come out. Like, that's awful. Why would you do that?

Ethan Nestor

So then I think they got the rights to the book and then they changed the title. They had, they couldn't change the title to the book. It had to be if I did it, but they made the if really small. So it just says, I did it by OJ Simpson. I think they got all the money from the book.

Seán McLoughlin

That's wild. I could be misremembering, but I think that that was something that happened. Yeah. Yep. Which is such a, that's like, why would you write that book unless you did it and now you're happy you got away with murder.

Nervously put the, uh, put the COVID in the. If is barely there. You can barely, barely see it in the eye. Damn. His bloody footprint.

That's crazy. Also, I did see that. Um, if. If you are inclined to go study about this stuff, just be careful, because the aftermath pictures of the murders are just freely available on Google images. And it's.

Ethan Nestor

It's very bloody. And you were literally just seeing dead bodies. So be careful out there if you are sensitive to that stuff. But it is like a whole bunch. Of snooping around on the Internet.

Bloody footprints leading down the driveway or the walkway. Really creepy. It's like a horror movie. Is crime stuff something that you're interested in? Do you like crime stuff?

I I kind of do and I kind of don't. I I find myself getting sucked in because there's so much true crime on Netflix that I kind of roll my eyes at a lot of them. And Evelyn watches some of them in the background sometimes. And I'm like, God, this fucking sucks. Like, this is filmed badly.

It's terribly shot. It's dragged out. The case doesn't actually make any sense. And then other ones I get really into, like, the jinx, which is, like the best documentary about that ever. And the staircase was really fun.

I remember even seeing that. I was like, 13 episodes. You fucking kidding me? And then we watched the whole thing, and I was really into the whole thing. Yeah.

But most times I think I kind of just feel bad watching them because I'm like, ah, somebody's dead. And I'm just like. I feel like I'm poking a prodding around in it and the families and things like that. But unsolved things are interesting, I think. Yeah.

Seán McLoughlin

Like we were talking last time, DB Cooper. Yeah, that's. That's crazy. Donald Butler Cooper. I can't remember what the DB was.

Ethan Nestor

Do you remember. Dan something? Dan Branson. I can't remember. Yeah, like that and like, diablo.

That kind of shit is fun. The JFK assassination, how many shooters were there? Man, when I finally got the Internet and I was like, 17 years old, that I got real big into the 911 conspiracies. And I was like, I kept going down there. It's only now that I realize, like, oh, you.

You could be made to believe whatever the fuck you wanted back then, cuz there just wasn't anyone, like, fact checking YouTube videos. Mm hmm. And nowadays I'm like, God, it was stupid that I ever believed any of that shit. But back then I was like, dude, yeah, this doesn't make any sense. And then I was like, now I'm like, I don't even know if I had any proof of anything.

The people were just saying shit and I believed it. It's wild. I mean, especially back then. Now it's a pretty credible source, Wikipedia. But back in the.

Seán McLoughlin

In the golden age of Wikipedia, you could just say whatever you wanted. Yeah, say whatever. Like the. Is it the Phoenix lights? The Phoenix lights.

Ethan Nestor

Ooh, do I get to introduce you to the Phoenix lights? Google it. Phoenix lights. They are Phoenix. It's a UFO or a Uap phenomena.

Seán McLoughlin

Phoenix lights. Sometimes called lights over Phoenix or a series of widely sighted unidentified flying objects observed in the skies of southern us states of Arizona and Nevada. 13th, 1997. Look at that picture. That's it.

That's cool. People were outside, and then those lights that showed up appeared one by one next to each other, slowly. And then people were like, this is fucking crazy. And then people started seeing like a triangle move through the air that had lights on it. People were like, this is UFO's.

Ethan Nestor

This is crazy. This is all happening. Turns out it was just military practice. There are flares that were being dropped. Or so the US government tells us.

Back then. I was really into it and I was like, what is it? Mm hmm. There was also a. A thing going around, like a hoax going around about like trumpets playing in random places in the world.

So people were filming like, their backyard and they're like, dude, what was that sound? And then you hear like a big. Almost like war of the worlds, like. And then people were like, dude, what the fuck is that? And I was like, is the world ending?

And I was like, 17, so I was like, really gullible. And then it's like, now you listen to it. It's like, that was obviously so fucking fake. Why wouldn't that be everywhere? One of these days we should do an episode where one of us does some research on some sort of thing, like a UFO thing or encrypted sighting or something.

Seán McLoughlin

We teach the other about it. Cause I do love that stuff so much. Oh, it's so interesting. It's one of those things where I'm like, man, I wish UFO's are real. I wish we actually got like, a thing of like an alien, like.

Ethan Nestor

But I'm way too, like, logical brained where stuff happens. And I'm like, well, that's fake, obviously. But what's behind the gates of area 51? What are they holding in there? Why don't they want us in there?

It's probably so boring in there. If you went in, the people who work there are like, man, if only you could just tell people that. It's like, we have a new pilot for a jet that were like, yeah. We have, like, a new engine thruster that we're using. Yeah.

Seán McLoughlin

And it's just. It's just military stuff, so we can't. We can't talk about it. Yeah, but, man, is it interesting. I landed there in flight simulator that was.

Did you? What did you see? Buildings, hangers. There's a Runway there. Why do they have a Runway if they're not launching UFO's off of it?

Yeah. Interesting. Hmm. What about that american government? I also think it's interesting that whenever alien stuff happens, it's like, area 51.

Ethan Nestor

It's in America. Of course the aliens would go there. Like, why would they? Yeah, why don't they ever go every. Anywhere else?

I've seen some UFO footage from, like, chinese news outlets before, but it's never like. Like, no one ever sees UFO's in Ireland or England or the Netherlands. America's just trying to convince people, this is why we need to keep paying for healthcare. It's because something's in your water that makes you all stupid. And, like, all you Americans out there, I'm sorry, but you're all, like, shaking, like, nodding your heads now, being like, he's right.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Land of the free. Kind of. Not really at all.

Ethan Nestor

Land of the free in quotation marks. Home of the brave. If you could live in any other country, where would you want to live? Ooh, I. Somewhere in Europe.

I think Japan would be kind of cool.

Iceland would be cool. Iceland would be pretty cool. Places like that. Places that have, like. Like.

Well, Iceland not so much, but Japan is, like, massive cities, but also really cool nature and historical sites. Yeah, I think Japan's one of the cooler places. I'd also love to live in New York. I think New York is, like, an incredible city. Anytime I go there, I feel so inspired walking around.

Seán McLoughlin

It's so cool. Yeah. I've only been to New York once, really? And I want to go back. I would love to live there for a short period of time.

Like, I would love to go there for, like, a month or two or something. Yeah. If we didn't have to, like, do stuff with bb or even insulin or if travel didn't kill him. Yeah. We would absolutely go to New York for a few months.

Ethan Nestor

I think it's such a cool place. I think that I would. I would want to see what the Netherlands is like. Honestly, I've heard so many cool things about the Netherlands. It seems so nice and peaceful there.

Yeah, it has really good infrastructure. The people are decent. Obviously, there's some shitheads out there everywhere you go, but the food is great. It just feels like a country that appreciates its people. Yeah.

Like, it's not like trying to get more out of them all the time or trying to, like, fuck them over constantly. I'm sure I could be wrong about that, but anytime I've been there, it's like, oh, man, the rail system rules, the buses rule. Everything's like. Like, it's a small enough country. The weather's nice during summer.

You can cycle everywhere. Has Evelyn ever told you about any cool cryptids from the Netherlands? Any conspiracy theories from the Netherlands? That would be so cool. She'll tell me about the shunga younger.

Oh, yeah, the demon that comes out at night. Oh, I want to learn about these things. He's real sleepy. He's like, he's a sleepy guy.

Hey, hey, poo poo. Now, now. What does that mean again? I don't know if it means anything. It's just like, I'm tired.

Like, ah, God almighty. Like, what a. What would you guys say at the end of the day? Oh, like, if you're so tired and. You stretch and you yawn and there's, like, one phrase that you say all the time.

Seán McLoughlin

Oh, if you're real. If you're. My dogs are barking good. Yeah, like a real dad quote. Like, oh, my dogs are barking.

Like, oh, man. Ready to hit the hay? Yeah. Oh, I'm beat. Yeah, it's like that.

Ethan Nestor

It's just a way of verbalizing your tiredness, as far as I'm aware. Evelyn could say, like, no, it means, I am so tired, I want to die. So tired I could eat a horse. Ah. Where does that come from?

I don't know, but I found out recently. We'll come back to that. I don't. We should do an episode about those, cuz I. We could do it now.

There's a whole. There's a whole thing about, like, long time no see, and things like that are all from chinese merchants talking to Americans, but it's like broken English, so you say it that way. But there was a whole thing. There's a whole thing, like, there's like, dozens of those phrases I've never thought about. Apparently, run amok is one as well.

And it's like, it's things like that. I'm like, I didn't understand it. The other one that I was thinking of was waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's like you hear that and you're like, I know what that means, but what does that mean? And then.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah. Are you just throwing your shoes? Yeah. What do you think it means? I would think that it would mean that you're taking your shoes off there in your hand and you're.

And you're dropping the shoes. And so, like, that's where it, it comes from. I guess you're pretty close. Like, I know, I know what the phrase is, you know? Yeah.

Ethan Nestor

Like you're waiting for something to happen. Yeah. But apparently it was like, was it New York? I don't know, but it was like people in apartments would hear their neighbor upstairs come home and they would take off one shoe, and then they were waiting for the other shoe to drop. So it's like, oh, the other person's home, like work is done kind of thing.

Like time to sleep. And that's so weird, so many phrases like that. I'm like, I. Why? I've never thought of that.

Because I wanted to get a tattoo. I watched the bear one time and I liked, I liked the phrase there is no other shoe because it's like, I feel like that's kind of anxiety. It's like waiting for something bad to happen and then there is no other shoe is like, you're waiting for something that's not gonna happen. Yeah, and I like that. And I was like, I wanted to get a tattoo saying that, or like a tattoo of one shoe or something.

I'm like, I don't know how to get that encapsulated where it's not cringe. Yeah, I like that. I like that saying. I'm looking at a list now of like, famous phrases like turning a blind eye often refers to a willful refusal to acknowledge a particular reality. It dates back to a legendary chapter in the career of british naval hero Horatio Nelson.

Great name. Nelson's ships were pitted against a large danish norwegian fleet. When his more conservative superior officer flagged him to withdraw, the one eyed Nelson supposedly brought his telescope to his bad eye and proclaimed, I really don't see the signal. Crazy, crazy how these things happen. Cressy, crassy.

I'm trying to find that thing. Oh yeah, here it is. Cuz it was. I saw it on Reddit. It said, long time no see was one no can do.

Like, oh, that was the only two they listed. There was a whole bunch of them. It makes sense that that's, that those would come from just like broken English and stuff. Yeah. Interesting how our lives go where all.

These things come from, I want more. I want more. This doesn't explain. It's like a dime a dozen, and it just says something common. I guess that explains it.

It's explaining the meaning of the phrase, though, but not the etymology of it. Like, when people would say, sleep tight, it was because of tightening your hay in your bed. You would have to tighten the string around the hay to make your bed firm. This one I've never really thought about, and it makes so much sense. But hold a candle to it comes from, like, reveal something.

Seán McLoughlin

Well, when people were, like, reading stuff and they would hold a candle up to something so other people could see what they were doing or what they. Were talking about, I guess you shouldn't hold a candle to that because it'll go up in flames. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. You've heard that before, right? Yeah.

Ethan Nestor

So it's like, it's better to have two. One of something that you actually have than two of something that you might never have, I guess. Yeah. It comes from the sport of falconry, where the bird in the hand, the falcon, was more worth more than the two in the bush, which is the prey. Oh, so it's like the.

Seán McLoughlin

The praying falcon is worth more than the two. Praise beat around the bushes from medieval english hunting practices. Some men would whack bushes with sticks to scare birds out so that the others could hunt them. Beating the bush directly could be dangerous. These are so weird.

I understand. Like, what does bite the bullet mean? Just, like, kill yourself? Yeah. Where does that come from?

Wait, hold on. So biting the bullet is like. Like, get it over with, right? Yeah, but what would that. How would that originate?

Ethan Nestor

Is it gonna be a thing that, like, they called, like a dowel that you put in your mouth, like, for getting your legs sawn off? You had to, like, bite down on that, like. And they called that a bullet. Cause bullet is a french word, maybe. Let's find out.

Wait, I have it. Biting a bullet is a metaphor in which is used to describe a situation, often a debate, where one accepts an inevitable impending hardship or hard to refute point. It is derived historically from the practice of having a patient clench a bullet in their teeth as a way to cope with the pain of a surgical procedure without anesthetic. You were right. Yeah, but that said that it was an actual bullet that they had to clench between their teeth.

Seán McLoughlin

Yeah. Well, I mean, that was probably long time ago. It was probably during war. It's like, what do we have to bite down on? There's no wood bite.

Ethan Nestor

Bullets. Bullets. God. Makes sense. It makes a lot of sense.

Seán McLoughlin

What are your favorite phrases out there? Audience, give us your favorite phrases. Yeah, and the reason and the, like, the thing behind them, because there's a bunch, and now I'm looking these all up. I want to know more about them. Another one that I remember seeing was, you have your work cut out for you.

Ethan Nestor

And then I was always like, yeah, irish people said that all the time, like, something is hard to do or like, you have a lot of stuff ahead of you. It's like, damn, you have your work cut out for you. And apparently that means that tailors would, like, cut out bits of fabric or something. Or maybe it's shoe. What is the people who make shoes called?

Shoemakers. They would like cobblers. Cobbler. I think it's. Tailors would, like, cut pieces of fabric out so that when they got to the next day, they would have their work ready and cut out for them, ready to go.

Stuff like that is so cool. The language, man. It's crazy. The language. It's crazy.

Seán McLoughlin

Also thinking about. Thinking about the way that people speak and how accents have evolved and everything. Yeah. Like, there I was going down this random rabbit hole the other day of time travel stuff, and it was like a supposed interview with a time travel, time traveler who's here from, like, a thousand years in the future, and everyone in the comments is like, oh, this guy's from 1000 years from now, but he still speaks like a normal american person today. Like, yeah, I'm pretty sure that that's.

I mean, the video is obviously fake, but, yeah, you couldn't have gone a. Little further to sell the illusion, but it's really cool. I watched this guy that was speaking technically speaking English, but, like, through the years and whatever and just the way the accents developed and stuff, I've seen. A guy do that with, like, english accents. Like, from England.

Yeah. It's really weird how, like, a long time ago, I was like, that's English. You guys aren't. It sounds so broken and weird. Yeah.

Ethan Nestor

I mean, we have so many words now that are all french or german words that we're just speaking day to day. And it was all invented by the queen. Who knew that? Who knew Lizzie herself did all of it. The queen's English.

That is what the king in Korea did. They were. Yeah, they would speak, like, old Chinese or have chinese characters, and then he was like, nah, nah, nah. Way too complicated. Too many letters.

We're going phonetic with it. We're making it in stacks we're making it easy. And all the letters are gonna look like your mouth and the shape that it makes when you say them, even though, I don't know, it makes sense. Like, sometimes I say the letter, and I'm like, I guess kind of. But that's kind of what happened in Spain, because if you go to Spain, everyone's speaking Spanish, obviously, but everyone speaks with a lisp.

Seán McLoughlin

And it's because I don't know what king it was, but the king had a lisp, so everyone was like, oh, we need to start speaking like the king. And so that's why if you go to Spain, people from Spain, the South. Have the lisp or the north have the lisp and the others don't. And it's like a point of differentiation between them to be like, oh, you're from the south and you speak with the lisp. Huh?

Language is crazy. You'd all be speaking the same language, but there's all these different dialects and stuff and accents. It's so cool. Yeah. And we all just learn it as a baby.

Ethan Nestor

You're sitting around, and your parents are talking. You're like, what the fuck? There's a little fucking sponge. It's like, I I think I get it. And then somehow you just start speaking and you understand language.

That's fucking weird. It's wild. Babies have way more power than we give them credit for. What if you put a baby in front of, like, nuclear launch codes or, like, the enigma machine? And the baby's like, eventually I'll figure it out.

Seán McLoughlin

I'm a baby. I can do anything. I'm very malleable right now. I mean, experiments, I'm sure, have been done. That's true.

Unfortunately. Unfortunately, like, there was during war times. There'S always experiments doing, like, people try to do telekinesis and shit. Mm hmm. Like, what happens to a person if you're just in complete solitude for your entire life?

Like, what? You just rely on instinct for everything. You probably send up, like, a Reddit mod or something. Yeah, probably. Probably.

Ethan Nestor

It's. No, it's not that brain leak listener or something. Something crazy like that. Hell yeah. Yeah.

Seán McLoughlin

Oh, we should. We should take a dive down. Crazy experiments that have happened someday. Ooh, that's a good one. Instead of the conspiracy theories, we should look.

Ethan Nestor

We should do that as well. But look at awful experiments through history that tried to. I remember when I was a kid, I tried to do telekinesis, and I was so convinced I was going to be the one to crack it. It wasn't. I tried to do telekinesis, and I was so good at it, I thought.

I was going to be. I was like, no. Other people, they haven't, like, watched as many, like, cartoons and movies and stuff as I have. Like, I'm playing enough games. Like, I get it.

Like, I'm in tune with my brain. And I was sitting there for, like, an hour one night trying to move a pencil, and I was like, okay, sheer force doesn't work. And I was like, okay, really clear your mind and, like, meditate. I was so convinced I was gonna get that pencil to move. I was so close, I swear.

Seán McLoughlin

So I thought I saw it move. Once, but it turns out I just popped a blood vessel in my head from squeezing too hard. Mm hmm. Oh, I really. I really think I can do it.

Ethan Nestor

I still think you were right there. I'm the one that can crack it. My brain is so unique. That's why I'm depressed. It's because all of the telekinesis is pushing the happy out.

Seán McLoughlin

Mm hmm. And it's replacing it with depression. And if I figure out telekinesis, then it'll all slide into place. Have you ever had that thing where it's like, you get, like, aches and pains or you get headaches or something? You're like.

Ethan Nestor

Or you're sad all the time, and then you're like, man, I must be, like, deficient in this, like, one vitamin or something. And if I just get that one thing, it'll fix my whole life. It's like I'm on a new inhaler. All my headaches are gonna go away after this. Yep.

Seán McLoughlin

And sometimes they do. True. I mean, the placebo effect is very real. You convince yourself that something is making you feel better. Sometimes you will just kind of make yourself feel better.

Ethan Nestor

Well, I went to the doctor for blood tests, and they were like, yeah, your vitamin D is low. Cause I'm a gamer in England, and I was like, ooh, if I start taking vitamin D, everything's gonna slot into place. Yeah, it didn't. I started taking vitamin D. I think I feel a little better, maybe.

Seán McLoughlin

I don't know. Yeah, I have no idea. My vitamin D levels are for sure higher. But does that mean that I feel better? Yeah, I remember when I did that, and Evelyn used to take a multivitamin every day, and she was like, you can't hurt.

Ethan Nestor

And then she went to the doctor, and she was, like, low on certain things, and she was like, what the fuck is the point? Yeah, what am I doing? It's all bullshit. I don't know how my body works. Nobody knows.

But telekinesis. I'm gonna do it close. We're that close. We'll be the first telekinetic podcast. We don't even have to post anymore.

Seán McLoughlin

We just go. We send out the podcast vibe to everybody. The brain is just, you know, a natural RSS feat. I love that. Flawless.

Ethan Nestor

I want my brain to be broadcast to the world. I want you all to feel my suffering. God. Ugh. I always wonder about that.

Like, if somebody was in my body for a day and I was in theirs, like, you got all of your, like, thoughts and your patterns and your aches and pains and your fluids and everything, and would somebody come into my body and be like, this is how you live. You feel like this all the time. Ugh. Or if I go into somebody else's body and I'm like, oh, you have it way worse than I do. But you're fine.

Seán McLoughlin

What's going on with that? Why are you fine? Yeah, chill with this. You have this pain in your fucking rib all the time, and you're just happy. I had an upset belly earlier, and it fucked me up for a week.

Yeah. And it's probably because I sat down and played video games named McDonald's all day. There's another phrase, you know, try walk a mile in my shoes. Yeah, I don't know what that one means. You know, can't walk a mile.

You can't. You can't walk a mile in my shoes because we're different shoe sizes. Walk. Walk my shoes. Shame on you.

Walk a mile in your shoes. Can't be fooled. Again. You can't walk mile in my shoes because we use different units of measurement. If we have, you don't use miles.

Different orthotics in our shoes as well, so. Might hurt your feet. Yeah. It'll hurt your back and stuff, and your posture will be all fucked up. You might get blisters.

Yeah. Well, anyway, I have no idea what this episode was. We were on topic for a little bit. We talked about the movies. We talked about language.

And what is language if not just movies? If not just sounds that we made up? Anyway, next week we should have Matpat on the pod. Oh, baby, I forgot about that. We're filming with him soon, so he should be next week then.

Oops. It'll be a very exciting episode. I'm very excited to talk to that boy. Yeah, we need to try and talk to him about stuff that's not just all about retiring because I feel like he's probably death about that. So we'll ask him when he shit his pants.

Yeah, can I ask him that? Yeah, you can ask him that. Call dibs. Call dibs on that one. You can ask him something from your brain.

Okay, I will. I'll ask him about his retirement. You ask him about shitting his pants. Okay. Right.

Ethan Nestor

As the world shows. So everyone mark on your calendars. It should already be marked on your calendars for every week. Yeah. And subscribe or bad things will happen to you.

Also let us know. I was thinking about this the other day about, and I don't know if this is even a thing that we can change, but as far as YouTube goes, because we do kind of upload the podcast in the middle of the night. Yeah. Should we change it? Should we, should we change it?

Is it fine uploading in the middle of the night? Because I feel like whenever we upload for audio, it's whatever. But maybe we changed the video to a time in the. In the day. Let us know, at least for most of the world.

Ethan Nestor

Yeah, when we upload now, it's most people who go to bed or waking up and no one knows. Yeah. So maybe we'll change it. Let us know. Anyway, have a leaky, leaky day.

Bye bye. See you next time. Bye. Brain leak.

Seán McLoughlin
