The best and worst gadgets, shows, movies and stuff of 2024! (CultCast #679)

oh geez it's that started the show nerves right Louis just never get old will it

was it bad Christmas dinner too much tur it was a delicious

Christmas dinner did you really oh man I want to hear about that I think we're

live but I can't be sure you know why because I didn't bring up the YouTube page we're just completely Flying Blind

here I have no idea what's going on oh we're

live oh great we'll see if anyone shows up for a Friday after Christmas show

does anyone even care that we show up late anymore I don't know that that anyone does so while we're waiting leis

do you want to regil us with your absolutely delicious Christmas dinner story turn it into something interesting

please for the love of God we got to retain our listeners it was a Christmas Eve dinner and we had a nice nice uh

ribeye roast delicious oh hey I had a riby roast too I made one yeah that's do

did grotten potatoes did you have that no we didn't have that Dam cream spinach

no man I should have come to your house Yorkshire pudding I don't even know what Yorkshire pudding is Yorkshire pudding

is an astonishing thing really it's uh it you can make a big one yeah uh but my

wife makes it in a little like muffin pans you you basically you put in some beef Tallow off the bottom of the roast

pan in there a little bit in each cup I me it's just a mixture of like flour and water and salt and it and yeast and it

just it rises up like a big so it's like almost like a mushroom it's like meat

pudding it's bread it's bread it's a it's a it's a fluffy piece of bread I mean each one weighs like probably you

know 20 grams or something super lightweight if if you get it's an English food so it probably like

developed during a war of some kind and yeah if you get a if you get a big one if you make like a single big one it'll

it'll blow up and it'll come out it looks like a big you know and it's it's like a balloon it's it's it's Hollow on

the inside you cut itome I thought you you said that this Christmas dinner was delicious now

you're convincing me that you're wrong so delicious the roast beef are you kidding me fastic you know the thing

about so I also got the ribey roast and I cooked that thing to Perfection actually I I got a recipe off YouTube

that actually worked really well let's see so you put it in the oven so it depends how big it is right but you

essentially put it in the at 200° and it slow Cooks it so that the

temperature throughout the whole thing raises more uniformly they call it like a svie method right but it's not in the

actual water and then once it raises up to like 100° you crank the oven up to

450 and that temperature kind of crisps the outside and so you kind of get like

the perfect inside temperature and the perfect dude it worked it worked beautifully it was probably the most

succulent moist steak I've ever made and and the problem is is my kids and my

wife will only eat it when it's hot out the oven that's it so we ate maybe half of that thing first of all my wife

bought a 7 PB ribey roast I'm like it needs to be three lbs Max like you know

7 PBS is a lot of beef yeah we had an eight pounder and there were only three of us okay so how much of it did you

actually eat though oh yeah my kids probably not even half little nibble right my wife eats like a little slice

and then I'm left to eat the whole rest of that day thing for the next four or five days and it's it's just you know

non-stop meat Fest for the whole time you know was that seven pounds bone in

or or it was bone in B yeah was bone so was ours but dude it turned out really

good so did you did you cut the roast off of the ribs before you put it in I did it afterwards actually I did it

afterwards actually so this is another little Pro tip cut it off the ribs prior and then tie it back on tie the ribs on

so then it's sitting on the ribs but when you're done you just snip those things and pull the roast off and why

would you cut it off and then tie it back on so it Cooks on the cooks on the ribs which I I swear to you a elevates

it off the the grease if it happens to be sitting in or in a roasting pan but it also I I you know I think that

cooking it on the bones actually makes it taste better you think so well it certainly takes a little little while

longer because the bones just hold that cold forever and then they so like that meat around the bones when I finally cut

it was not not actually that cooked all right look I don't know if people want to listen to us talking about meat it's

not like we're going to transition into talking about Apple news just for the record we we did it the opposite way 450

for like 20 minutes to get do that and then you then you shut it down to like 300 or something I think the danger of

doing it that way though is that if you Char it too much well now you have to

leave it in the oven for another that's true hour two hours three hours right so it seems safer to do it the opposite way

okay look I don't know now my mouth is watering I know get the podcast let's go eat some left six six pounds of steak

eat uh I want to give a shout out to caveman who's here Jonathan q6 here no

one else is in the chat it's just the two of them we have other people watching but no one wants to join the chat which for this conversation I mean

I don't know why you wouldn't uh this is gon to be yeah what I hope this mug meets with your seal of approval I know

how irritated you are when I have a mug you don't like you know I'm a mug guy

it's kind of become my thing here's my mug oh boy it's funny it looks like

Mickey Mouse well there's a reason for that this is from Joe's Cable Car restaurant in San Francisco is it good

well it used to be now it's taken over by no it's gone they shut it down it's

motto was Joe grinds his own Chuck Daily we only use top quality Chuck at

this restaurant is it Chuck like C of the cow it's like the worst part of C good solid beef oh it's delicious good

solid beef yeah I could you even tell me what part of the cow the Chuck is you know why they call it Chuck because he

used to Chuck it into the garbage leis and then they trick people like you into eating it a real man only touches ribeye that's

it there's no other there's no other cow part that's worth eating let's just serve it inside a cable car and then

suddenly we've got a premium dining experience yeah you know they had to run it over with a cable car in order to tenderize it that's why that's the the

only way they made it edible leave that grease on there for moisture oh steaks and roasts come from

this area yeah but not the ones you'd want to eat upper shoulder and lower neck the lower neck the part they put

the harness on what do you go for the round what do you go I the only thing I use the round for is beef jerky the

round and the eye of round are like the best parts of the steer I grab that

thing by the horns I punch my hand right in there pull out the rounds and make beef jerky that's how I do

it it grows back eventually right then okay all right well let's go ahead and

queue up uh Mrs you know who we'll get this thing rolling oh Mrs

D Mrs D oh my dear did I hear you boys talking about meat oh boy Mrs D I'm

going to stop you right there stop you right there Lis has got coffe in his

mouth and I don't want him to Chuck that coffee all over his camera and short it out so if you don't mind we'll get this

thing rolling we have no apple stories to talk about this week really but allting stuff no tweets no nothing we'll

get this thing going in three two hello and welcome to the best 30

plus minute Apple conversation you're going to hear all week long I'm your host air Li joining me today it's almost 2025 and

he's turning over a new Leaf no more yelling or drill sergeant Antics to motivate the cult MC Riders no sir going

forward he's taking a new approach it's called violence first which he believes will increase productivity at least

30% any he wants the Tweet action not yet L you got to wait also with us he spent all his

Christmas money on a new Apple Pippen video game console in a few more years

he thinks he'll be able to afford one of its games he's a rider for culat Griffin Jones is here I would really like a

pipen um I haven't received any offers yet but you know if anybody is a fellow Apple collector who would like to reach

out a helping hand to another oh man feedback driffin jones.com God it'd be so amazing if you actually got one of

those things oh yeah I have the TV for it I was going to say you're like the only person I know that actually could use it you know and not just have it be

in a museum all right uh you want the Tweet action here leis man we new method

right we got to try the new message are ready I don't think our listeners typically get to hear the Tweet go out so I hope they're ready

they won't it either because I'll edit it out but sounds like edit that part that's the good stuff no that's the

that's the stuff that people love all right well Welcome to our end of year

show we have little if no Apple news I mean if we happen to talk about

something Apple it's just a coincidence because there's obviously no real news to speak of but that's okay because we

got Apple news stories real or fictional are purely coincidental there may be a couple Apple mentions in this episode

there may just be but this is our favorite and least favorite stuff of

2024 the final episode of the year I actually love that we do this this is probably one of my favorite things that we do because it gives us an opportunity

to talk about stuff that we love and stuff that we hate which is just great conversation um in my opinion and uh it

can run the gamut of shows movies Apple stuff cameras uh unbelievably powerful

um almost magical level cleaning cloth I mean it could be anything that you want to talk about Griffin or Lewis

especially those claws that you're using and uh we don't know how long the show is going to go we're going to just go

round robin style until we completely run out of time um which we have no time

limit so maybe until we run out of steam until Lewis gets extra sleepy which he looks like he's about 20% of the way

there already or extra hungry or that we just spend about 20 minutes talking about beef and how to cook a ribey roast

which I don't know if people would enjoy that or not I really don't know but before we dive in uh I'll give a quick

well shout out to Jose Negron he says he's celebrating his birthday with the cultcast happy birthday my friend oh man

celebrating his birthday with the cultcast is that a good thing I'm not sure it is but if you enjoy it Jose then we want

to wish you Happy Birthday uh before we dive in I do want to thank one password for supporting this episode one

password I have a quick question for you all especially for Lewis do your end

users always and I mean always without exception Lewis work on company-owned devices and it approved apps by end

users yeah your end users your array of end users I didn't think so l so my next

question is how do you keep your company's data safe when it's sitting on all those unmanaged apps and devices

well guess what Lewis one password has an answer to this question extended

access management oh you look you look relieved I've never seen you look that relieved one password extended access

management helps you secure every device every signin for every app on every device because it solves the problem

traditional I am and MDM can't touch so you can finally secure all those well I

would say possibly illegal devices that alen is using for all sorts

of Nefarious purposes the DEA hasn't completed their investigation yet but I

imagine there'll be more on that later you can check it out at onep password.com cultcast that's the number

one password.com cultcast thanks to one password for supporting this episode let's dive right

into the show right into the show Lewis who wants to go first this is going to

be our round robin episode as I mentioned anything you loved or or hated in 2024 Lewis or Griffin has like 16 things

we told them we don't have time for that you got to pick your time top five maybe but does anyone want to go for us or

should I Dive Right In I'll go for it all right that's what I like some initiative around here finally finally

this is um this is a product I was sent uh by someone who reached out to my

public email address I'm not entirely sure why I don't know how much research into what I do they did so it's a little

confusing that they thought that I would be a good person to talk about this but they happened to be uh sending me a

product that I already owned happily used and was starting to wear out so I was happy to receive a new fresh set of

these this is called the fur zapper this is

um now Griffin's giving away secrets on how he Styles his hair it looks

suspiciously like that thing he talked about last week it does actually look just like that except I have a feeling

this is not for you it is about a similar size it's like a a large block

of rubber shaped into like a round shape with like a little like paw hole cut out of it do you do either of you have a

clue of what this product does I'm gonna guess that it removes animal fur from

fabric surfaces yes in laundry the idea is that uh you you

throw you throw these bad boys in your washer or dryer and they are like the uh

the the honey pot the ant trap they the like a sort of sticky rubber material

and all of the hair in your in your clothes comes off of the clothes and it sticks to these bad boys so I previously

only had two of them but now I have four of them in addition to this backup set that they sent me that I'm keeping new

in the packaging so I have two of these in my washer two of these in my dryer and they just sort of live there and as

someone who's I've worn like you know plain black clothing dark clothing grays

for a long time but uh in the last few years or so um I would say that I've

transitioned to wearing dark clothes obscenely covered in dog hair because I have two giant fuzzy dogs their hair is

literally everywhere it is the bane of my existence but now with these I can I can slowly wean it out of my life so do

they actually work on a scale one to 10 how well do these things actually work I'd give it a seven they collect it's

pretty good they don't collect all of it like know when it comes out out you know

especially with the these black shirts that I wear the material that I have like I you know still do a little rub down to get any extraneous hairs off of

my shoulders and you know what's visible on the camera and stuff like that dang dude you sold me I have a dog too and

its wiry hair ends up absolutely every everywhere my dog is a flipping fur bomb

when I got that dog we we it she didn't have like her Overcoat yet and we thought she was going to not really be a

big shedder and her hair is everywhere all the time and She lays on our blankets on our couch and stuff and uh

and actually we have one of those robotic vacuums which I think is a lifechanging device every time I change

that thing's bin or empty that thing's bin full of dog hair it's just absolutely full of dog hair all the time

and it drives around our house it doesn't fill up right away because we have a small like she's like well she's supposed to be like 14 pounds she's

probably like 19 she's she's grown a bit rotund in her older years but especially

she doesn't move ever my my two dogs one of them is I think 55 lb the other one is I think 85

and the 85 LB One is obscenely hairy so like when I run my Robot vacuum I have no joke I have to empty out the little

tray about every 30 minutes that it's running that's through the entire process cuz it just immediately fills up

with dog if you have a dog even if you don't have a dog but especially if you have an animal um I feel like those

robotic vacuums are just absolutely life-changing I mean the amount of hair you know like when you walk on your

floor and and things start sticking to your feet like that gross Sensation that you just haven't swept or or vacuumed in

a while just is completely gone and these things I would say I haven't used one although I did just reach out to Robo Robo Rock to see if they'll send me

their newest model I hope they do um I haven't used one that does like a really super good job but they all do a a job

good enough because they they run every single day and so they pick up enough stuff that you just basically don't have

to vacuum very often um but anyway if you have it's not about doing a perfect job it's about doing

about doing a little bit of vacuuming when you don't want to yeah I feel like you could use kind of like that same

philosophy for this show we're not kind of do it perfectly but we'll be consistent you know like we'll show up

and if we make a mistake we'll fix maybe we're not the perfect Apple podcast but you you'll learn something you'll

definitely learn something least one thing every 90 minutes I think that's true I think that is true and you know it's like what what I always say it's

like we may not be the most accurate we may not be the most studious but no one's having more fun than us I think

that's 100% true I mean if you listened to the talk show for an entire year if you heard one laugh I would be surprised

by that so yeah all right cool man I think you sold me the fur zapper I'm

gonna guess know the original one that I bought a few years ago was the same brand it might just be like a thing that they repackage but you know they're

selling them and K man from the chat says the first app was worth the price of admission this

week see like this is why I love talking about products just in general because

you try something out you know it's like you find something that actually works that will help people and you get to tell people about it let's see fur

zapper and I always love hearing about that kind of stuff okay dude you can get uh you can get a whole four pack now I

have to admit I'm looking at this on on Amazon not the best reviews not the best

reviews but you know it's it sure sells a lot I wonder if people have their

expectations are just too too high like they think that it's going to you know get rid of all the fur but even if it

only did 70 0% and it reduced your problem by 70 0% like I I think that's a big

win okay for a zapper you can get a four pack on Amazon for 24 bucks oh wait a

second yeah they're also not very expensive say no or you can get a two pack for $9 how does that work this is

obviously the much better deal because a four pack here would be $18 okay who wants to go next leis you

want me you know I just feel so inadequate I don't have like a list of 27 things like Griffin well I'll talk about something

I've talked about on this show before while you gather your courage to go next

this is going to be a pick and an anti-pick uh you know I've talked about

it so much already on the show maybe not enough but I'm going to talk a little bit more about my Fujifilm X100 VI the

x00 six I love this camera and I hate this camera I I I actually even thought

about uh selling it to be honest with you hottest camera of the year you know

backlogged for for months if you buy one good luck getting it in even 2025 I

would say Tik Tok blew this camera up people love it Mega hyped the most hyped

camera of all time and I was on the waiting list as many of you know for months and months and months probably

like eight months before I got mine just absolutely absurd and there are things I like about this

camera like the size of it it is so lightweight and easy to carry I love the integrated flash I think it works really

well I like that the lens is small and compact the whole camera is Compact and it's just easy to carry around but this

camera I just feel like has so many weird quirks it's autofocus autofocusing

system is like schizophrenic which I think you could say about many Fuji

cameras um it's just kind of like an odd camera um it it I think it's meant and

I've said this before it's meant for people who are like out in nature going to take a picture of something far away

that's not moving it's like then it does that great it's got an absolutely beautiful 40 megapixel U

apsc um camera sensor which is super high resolution for the size I love all

the switches and manual dials on it although they are a bit confusing at times I have to say even though I like

this kind of Orient and have owned it on other Fujifilm cameras on this camera I

find it to be rather confusing sometimes but the big thing that may get me to

sell this camera and it's not something I ever hear anyone talk about and this is a

problem I've never experienced before on any camera it almost makes me wonder if there's a problem with my camera is the

white balance and exposure um on the LCD screen on and on

the interior um electronic viewfinder are not the same which is a huge problem

and it's not one that I've ever experienced before so when you look in your viewfinder and you take a picture

and then the picture comes out the picture looks different than on the viewfinder now I'm going to caveat this whole conversation with I know that you

could adjust these things and I have tried to adjust them so that the electronic viewfinder and the LCD screen

look the same I cannot get them to match they should have come matching from the factory there's no reason that they should ever look different because which

one do you trust you take a picture well is the LCD screen right or is the is is the evf or the electronic viewfinder

right I don't know so I'm like trying to Tinker with these things and I also

don't understand why the image that I'm seeing inside of the viewfinder is

different than the image that is being portrayed once the image has been captured it's a huge problem and I'm

trying to figure out how to dial it out but I have not yet been able to do that I have another Fujifilm camera the xs20

which is bigger than the X X100 VI but is I think Superior in many ways which I

won't go into here um although it is a lot heavier so you're not getting the same level of compact camera so I don't

know man like I so far I love this camera I'll probably be making more content on this camera um but if the

pictures you take don't match the pictures that you're trying to take I think that's just an immediate non-starter that's it's failing at its

purpose as a camera which is to take pictures but I don't know if it's user error if it's something I should be able

to dial out or if it's an actual camera problem I don't know yet so that's what I'm trying to figure out cu I did just

get it and I'm trying to use it more and more often there are other things like they have made some design compromises

in order to keep the camera as small like its batter is the older version of the Fujifilm camera battery which is

just not great doesn't last very long you can see if you're watching the live stream or the video uh watch after

coast.com by the way that has a very small camera grip which makes the camera uncomfortable to hold unless you have

like a strap or something on it so there's just a lot of compromises and maybe the camera is just not for me maybe if you have small Alexy Heath

hands then this camera is perfect for you and there are a lot of things I do like about it um I love the camera

filters I do like the manual controls to a certain degree like I said I love the flash so I'm kind of like on the fence

whether or not I I even want to keep this camera but so far I'm just not as impressed as I thought I was going to be

because I think I asked you this question when you first got it but I think I'm going to ask you again now that you've had like a few more weeks to

ruminate on it yeah what benefit do you think this camera has over the iPhone

because I think that any full-size camera has to justify its existence over the iPhone or be like significantly

better in one in a few key ways like it doesn't seem to take higher res that much higher resolution pictures on the

iPhone because you can take 48 megapixel shots on the iPhone it doesn't have much more zoom than the iPhone because it has

a fixed lens it's actually way worse in in the zoom capacity in fact when I I have found when using this in small

spaces you you it's just really hard to use because you can't zoom in or out you have a fixed lens which you know is part

of the magic of the camera as well because it you have to move your body and frame the image so that you are

using your creativity to frame the image and not just zooming in and out but to your question I mean it's a good

question I would say the number one reason why people buy these cameras over the iPhone is because in the right

conditions the IM that you get out of this camera far exceeds anything the

iPhone could create but the caveat is you have to be in the right conditions like the iPhone is a Swiss army knife it

takes really it takes pleasing images in almost every lighting condition especially the iPhone 16 it's just so

good now but in a lot of instances I think that the iPhone

produces images that are like too sharp looking or the um depth of field is too

low and you could use like the faked up the field that that iOS includes I don't think it looks nearly as good as a

camera that actually does that optically um and just the quality of the

colors and the quality of the image of itself I mean this camera will blow the iPhone

away but sometimes that stuff is not as

important as the versatility of the iPhone like in a high Dynamic image or

uh a lighting scenario the iPhone takes good images I mean if you're in the

shade and it's really bright behind the shade the iPhone is going to expose that image properly because of its

computational HDR and the Fujifilm or any other camera can't do that and so

there are scenarios where I would actually prefer to use the iPhone and the iPhone is also just easy to use and

it's with you and the I think the user experience like the UI of the zoom between the three lenses on the iPhone

is probably one of the easiest to use most genious UI mechanisms that have

ever been devised it's almost like the inertial scrolling or the the the pull

to refresh on the iPhone those things were so ingenious that they kind of changed cameras and phones because they

were just so easy to use and so intuitive and I think that that little scroll wheel that you get on the iPhone

is one of those things it makes it so easy to control the zoom in and out no other camera or no other phone that I've

seen gets anywhere close to that and so it just makes it a versatile tool and this camera has a lot of limitations

that make it harder to use like you have to really there are instances where I

have to force myself to use it because I have it um but like I said when it is in the right situation which are many

situations the images are unbeatable like it looks so much better than the iPhone and and and you can obviously see

it so I don't know man but it's an expensive camera at $1,600 and that's if you get from a retailer and aren't

buying it you know Black Market which I wouldn't recommend doing I mean hey if you're not happy with it you can sell it

and probably make money ultimately because you could probably sell it for could sell it yeah I probably could sell it for $2,000 Dipsy do from the chat did

I just walk into another Apple should make a camera rant I think Apple should make a camera and I think that they

might they might actually they do eventually do it oh give me a break you know what I mean but I mean I hear that

they're thinking about making a smart doorbell which I would also love I just I don't know if there's a big enough

market for Apple to enter the actual camera space but Apple's computational

HDR paired with higher end sensors and

uh an actual lens I think would be absolutely killer no one is doing computational HDR like apple does look

what they're able to accomplish with a phone with a teeny tiny little sensor and those teeny tiny little lenses like

imagine that but in a real camera it would absolutely destroy no one would be able to get anywhere were close to it

but I think that they're victim of their own success like I don't know if cameras

are a big enough market for them because of the iPhone that it's worth them

entering but I don't know so I'm going to continue using the X100 6 I feel like

I need to give it more time and maybe eventually I'll fall in love with it but I've been so I've been surprised so far

by how annoyed I am by its quirks and like I I said this before maybe I didn't

articulate it very well but it's just not a very it's not a good tool for

people who have fast moving subjects or any kind of like I would say challenging

photography situation where things are moving all around or you need to rely on your autofocus it's more of like a consumer

grade camera where your subjects are stationary and you have time to plan and

like take your shot but if you don't have time if you need to react quickly this camera is really not that good at

doing those things and that's a lot of scenarios so it it it limits its utility

in my opinion but it is beautiful and that and and that counts for a lot you

know when you have something that is in your hands that you enjoy looking at so there is some stuff to love about it but

I just it's so so far I'm just not not super is this what I've been showing on the live stream this whole time my

goodness that was a mistake anyway that's my pick and my antick

2024 L what do you got uh I'm G to talk about something we

talked about previously too little TV show called Fallout love that thing I forgot dude I forgot that show was this

year it seems like so long ago and it was such a it came out like what in April or something like that yeah such a

great show you know like like I said on a previous show I never played the game so to me it was all

completely new and original and I just I just love that show it was what do we

tell people I mean it's it's about you know another po post-apocalyptic people living in a silo kind of thing but it's

funny and creative and the acting's great the writing's great it's just just

great and unlike Apple TV plus I believe it was all released at one time so you

could actually just watch it or did I did I just wait till it was done I I just cannot do the one week at a time

thing anymore I'm so sick and tired of that in fact if one of the worst things of the year is Apple continuing to do

that release shows one weekend I I I go and look at the Apple TV Plus app and

they're all these shows that I've started watching but I haven't completed because the end didn't arrive at a

convenient time right it's so much better we can just watch the whole thing you know like wait n weeks to start two

batches yeah but then you're perpetually behind like you know what's current I know I I realiz they're trying trying to

drive interest and all that but I think they're just trying to keep you in the sub in the subscription right if they

release it all at one time then you just get their subscription for a month you watch the whole show and then you cancel

I'm I'm trying to watch I was trying to watch Silo this week and I was like oh it's not Friday yet the episode's not

out so I can't watch it yet I know they they keep you in there well is it that

or right I I mean maybe that's probably part of it but I also think they want to uh you know promote each episode somehow

you know like I think they the Apple PR looks at it as a 10 week uh promo period

rather than you know like oh it's one and done not that they couldn't go ahead and promote it over 10 weeks or even the

whole entire year right but yeah I mean you got in the chat saying one week at a time is best creates discussion among

friends yeah maybe it creates disgust among people who love the show and can't tune in once

a week yeah it is I mean especially if you're watching it with another like your wife or some other person right

then it's like got to figure out a convenient time to watch that during that week as opposed to just hey we got

nothing to do this weekend let's watch uh four episodes on Friday and then it was so good let's watch the other four episodes the next day that's what always

happens with us and in fact that hasn't happened with a show in a long time you know with as much as Fallout I mean we

were both like so into watching it we just couldn't stop watching it she never played the game either

obviously but well you should I mean I don't know if you G but the Fallout games are really terrific I wouldn't I

wouldn't maybe touch Fallout 76 I haven't played it I've heard it has a lot of problems and it doesn't it's not

like traditional Fallout I'd probably start with Fallout 3 or maybe even Fallout 4 but the games are just like

the show but I think even better I think the show does a pretty good job at

bringing you into the world of Fallout but that world is even better in the

game I I I think like I I don't think they quite nailed it at least they haven't yet and I I also feel like

they're kind of retconning some of the stuff within the game which I don't love and I don't really love that um they are

making Walton Walton goggin's character like the Fallout guy like and all the

little statues and stuff I'm like I don't really know if I love that cuz it's kind of messing with the lore a little bit but um they did do a pretty

good job I completely forgot that show was 2024 I know it seems like forever ago we

were talking about it yeah it was a while ago because I think it came out at the beginning of the year April April

two oh really was it that long you know it's uh I was doing a little research on that looks like season two possibly next

year but most likely 2026 what why are they waiting so long I hate it when they

do that I mean yeah well forget I mean there's all kinds of problems right uh

in the research that I did it said oh they shot it and it took like a year in post production wow so for the first

season they just started filming Dipsy dooo from the chat wow in November or something so wow that's wild we we don't

need really to talk more about it right like what it is if you like if you like kind of goofy it's kind of com sci-fi

comedy with over-the-top cartoon violence whatever I mean I thought it was great watch the engaging the the

teaser that Apple put out for severance they put out like the first I think they just like that that they have a put out a preview that's just the first eight

minutes yeah they've been doing that lately I refuseed to do I mean come on yeah I'm going to watch eight minutes

and then I'm going to wait another month to see the the final 42 minutes screw

you Apple PR come on I watched it I thought it was good I'm excited haven't watched it yet I don't know it feels

those of you that missed it uh Griffin was just saying they they released is it like the first eight minutes of the episode yeah okay I heard like five

minutes of it was just the guy running around in the hallway yeah it's a big hallway yeah it

is aason started too I watched the first trailer for it and I was very excited I can't wait for S to come back it's one

that's one of my favorite shows I mean if I had a I I like it way better in fact I just started rewatching the first

season because it it was such a it's such a weird show it's like wow I

mean I I just remember being so constantly amazed and and and just just

constantly feel like wow it's so creative I would have never thought of somebody doing that it's just it's just

so it just seems smart you know uh and and when that that came out in 2021 so

it's definitely not the best of this year w wow that's wild I didn't realized it was that long ago yeah and it it it

feels so fresh in my mind still yeah fresh in your mind let me make sure

I'm I'm not 100% sure 2022 because I remember watching it at work at my old job

oh okay but still it's it's been several years I I guess what I was uh I was

going by it's been a three-year Gap and of course I can't do the math in my head

because we're noted this idea to Lewis but I want to pitch it to you as well if all right L on how do you feel about

doing for off topics as season two is going on we just do 10 weeks of like

post episode discussions like that sort of thing I would be fine with that I guess my only concern would be a lot of

people that listen to the show May not have watched the content and I know for me I don't want to listen to shows if I

haven't watched the episode yet because I don't want to hear spoilers so I feel like we would be limiting who could

actually listen to us talk about stuff that be that would be my only concern well the good news is that you won't

release them until what 202 touche Louis touche so like it will

be at least a year after the episode has come out so yeah at that point be a safe dist

well we got Ben far from the chat he's feeling weird he says he he uh he's

listened to every podcast we've ever done this is the first time tuning in live and probably seeing our faces wow I

know sorry and he's not sure how he feels about us now that he's seeing our

faces who can blame him this is why it's best just to keep listening Ben it was a mistake now he's all caught up and he's

going to have to wait a week between every episode but you know what once you get used to this once you get used to

these faces and I know it takes time because they're all so chiseled Louis's goatee is always so finely

tuned and then you it starts to grow on you and then you can't imagine listening

without yeah without the faces you know such just takes a little while to get used to it okay great pick Lewis great

pick indeed Griffin sending it about to you we're really like an hour in we've

only done one pick each this is this is a bit of an off-the-wall pick oh you know what Weir

than thepp I mean hey that's a product that people can buy yeah okay let me tell you

about this I when I moved out here to the middle of nowhere uh you know I I

took a big hit culinarily because you know there's there's not a lot of restaurants around here there's like a Mexican restaurant within reasonable

driving distance there's like a Chinese restaurant but I happened to move

within somewhat reasonable proximity to one of my favorite pizza places which is called

Romeo's Pizza which is a chain that's uh I had only seen around like northeastern

Ohio so I was surprised to find it kind of where I am in like the central farmlands of like Western Ohio but they

have they have an insane deal I don't know how long this has been going on but

they have an insane deal every Tuesday you can just buy a buy a pizza and get an entire second large pizza completely

free like just straight up buy one get one I feel like I feel like uh uh Domino's

pretty much has that deal just running all the time well you know what but unlike dominoes this is actually like really good high quality pizza I've

never seen like a boutique dare you it's like these aren't cheap pizzas like it like a large pizza with one topping is

like you know $17 not not the cheapest that's pretty much every Pizza in Seattle yeah yeah that's actually cheap

yeah well in Ohio that's that's an expensive pizza because you know every Ohio

but you know this is good pizza and it's just like straight up 50% of it is free

and I imagine they expect you to like you know buy soda or like buy cheese bread or garlic bread or whatever and

like you know that's the stuff that they actually make their money on I'm probably one of the only people who like just goes there to buy two

pizzas only spend like literally half as much as I should and just walk out the door and I do that with uh alarming

regularity and you know what then I've got four or five meals for for only $16

it's in it's genuinely insane you working the system yeah I don't like it's not exactly a secret deal like they

if you sign up for their emailing list which you're compelled to do when you order from them they tell you about it

every Tuesday and it's not like a hidden coupon code it's just like b OO when you do their online ordering system and then

all right you get an entire free pizza it's it's crazy I can't believe it I

genuinely cannot believe that they still do it all the time I'm happy for you sounds like a great deal and who doesn't

love free pizza man I mean and it's excellent pizza and it's excellent pizza I mean well as far as Midwestern pan

pizza goes okay it is hard to find great pizza there are a few places here in Seattle that claim to do great pizza and

they charge you know great prices for that great pizza and they're okay but I always get a lot of heat for preferring

Costco pizza I think in our area Costco makes one of the best pizzas and they

also if you get them on the right day they'll make one that's rather thin crust that's almost like a Brooklyn style pizza which is the closest that

you can actually get to Brooklyn style that I've seen in Seattle there's probably places that I haven't heard of and it's $10 for an absolutely enormous

pie those those pizzas are definitely unbeatable in the price Department dude well I mean even the flavor Department

like this is where I get the heat man everyone agrees on the price but on the flavor you know people you know sputter

and make all sorts of throat noises and roll their eyes but it's okay hey it's nothing special I mean it's pretty good

except it's pretty good A lot of the fancier places I go to like I said like

they they're they're okay but a lot of times you get like a dry Pizza a lot of pizza places like don't do sauce for

some reason and yet they're still like $25 there's a place okay I'll call them out I'm calling them

out the following sentiments are my personal opinion and you are welcome to disagree

there's a really popular place called pgly achis here in Seattle and their

pizzas are $25 $30 I mean they're super expensive for one pizza for a couple

pizzas you could you could you could easily spend $780 there if you wanted to and they're decent pizzas and they're

thin crust but they also have a lot of pizzas that don't have any sauce on them their their dough which I think makes or

breaks the pizza right is I would say decent but not anything to write Alex he

Alex e Heath's mother about I write her about other things but not the pizza and

so for that much money to get a pizza like that that that is I would say very

common in this area something that's really expensive that is um I think the sentiment is that it

must be high quality because it's it cost so much money but then you go there and you're like this is not nearly as good as the price would have me believe

that it would be even the pictures on their website don't look that good it just looks like an ordinary Pizza I

would rate their Pizza like seven out of 10 and there are other places I could talk about but like in

the Costco experience like I would say is probably a solid seven possibly an eight if you get one fresh out of the

oven that's the key you got to get one fresh once it's not fresh like if it's older than like five minutes it goes

from a seven or an eight down to probably a five and they don't they don't reheat well man there's something

about getting it fresh and so sometimes when you go there they'll try to like you go order pizza and they'll try to

grab one off the top the Shelf that's been sitting there and I'm like I'm like put the brakes on that my friend I'm

going to I'm going to wait until that one comes out of the oven I'm like I want a fresh one if you give me a fresh one I will stand even if I have to wait

10 minutes I will stand here and wait you know what among the Mendy travesties that Little Caesar's commits I

think uh second to the travesty that is the pizza itself very close second is

the fact that they mark it as being hot and ready but it's only ever one of the two either you get there at the exact

either you get there uh when they have a backup of pizzas and and so they're ready but they're not hot because

they've been sitting on a counter for like who know who knows how long or you get there through the drive-thru and

they're like oh we don't have any pizzas you have to wait like 20 minutes so it's hot but it's not ready it is very rarely

ever both I don't want my pizza that's a great Point first of all I don't want my

pizza to be hot and ready because I used I've worked at a lot of restaurants in my life you know what they do to keep it

hot they keep it under lamps you want it to be ready and you want it to be ready when you get there because if it's hot

and it's been sitting there hot for like 15 minutes well it's ready for you to be disappointed because all the moisture

has been evaporated it's just it's just turning into Sho leather slowly it's like glass is actually a liquid right if

you press your finger into it it takes 100 years and your finger will actually go through that's what's happening with pizza it's slowly going from Pizza to

cardboard now it happens really fast up front and then it happens slowly and there's a window of about 5 minutes when

that thing comes out of the oven where it it's at its peak tastiness and if you don't get it in that window well then

you've just wasted your money in my opinion and you're you're wasting your life there's no reason to get pizza that

is old Sho leather because if you ask them for a fresh one especially at Costco they'll give you anything we're

going way on we're we're going on way too long about this but I just one last quick thing so we had a

pizza and we put it in the bottom of the car cuz we were on our way out and I had to take the pizza to go and I was

pushing pushing pushing you know like and the parking lot is Bumpy so the Box slowly made its way like to the front of

like the cart and then it just went just got sucked right under oh like a man being pulled into a jet engine and I the

cart went I was like what is going on I just run over a child and I look and sure enough the pizza has been uh upside

down and run over by the cart so smashed into the pavement we ran over the box

and and I was like oh my gosh you know so I went back in and I was like we just ran over our pizza like can I have a and

the guy didn't even let me finish he's like let me get you another one you know boom hot pizza right out of the oven

Costa Costco will do anything to make you happy I could tell other stories but that's not what we're here to do all

right you know what yeah you guys been talking about these pizza places I got to talk about a pizza

place that I started going to this year doesn't have to go forever but this place is great sure it's called Slice House you ever been to one I don't know

if they're in any of you I don't think there's any no but the fact that they're even called Slice House tells me all I need to know it's Brooklyn style it well

it's it's all kinds of things have you ever heard of Tony jimani oh my gosh look at that slice no I have this guy

this guy is like you know award-winning pizza maker he's he's got he's got a shop in uh or a restaurant in North

Beach in San Francisco that's I think that's where he started out uh and it's I think that one's just called uh Jim

and y I can't remember exactly Jani look at this guy man you know that guy make a pizza then he starts he starts

franchising these Slice House locations right and for for some God unknown

reason my wife gets her haircut like a half an hour from our house I live in a major city right I mean there's I she

could probably get her haircut 20 feet from our house no has to has to go down to uh what I even remember what the town

is somewhere down on the pen great but the one thing that makes it worthwhile is there's a slice house right across

the street and so now every time we go down there we go over and get a couple

slices of pizza and split them and it's it's the best so they they make multiple

kinds they make uh New York style th crust whatever we you know we get one of those those uh Sicilian style that's

kind of a lot of bread I don't know not my favorite grandma style I don't know pan fried thin crust it's okay interesting the Detroit the Detroit

style oh my fre you like the thick one huh that is that

is those Detroit style pizzas that they make are like the best pizzas I've ever

gotten Pizza on top of a cake it's it's got It's got you see that brown stuff on

the edges that's that's cheese it's like melted melted swiss cheese I mean that

is on par with the deep dish uh you know pizzas you get in Chicago it's got that

much super tomatoey flavor and just oh my God so it oh man if you're these

ingredients look good too like they've got a lot of variety on here and they've got some toppings that really pair well

together yeah I mean you can order whole pizzas but we always just go in and get a slice and you you walk in and they'll have like one or two New York style ones

one Gran granny style one Sicilian one Detroit so you know you kind of limit it

or whatever if you don't want to get a whole pizza but yeah so your there to

get a haircut they seem to only be in California sorry I didn't either one so go ahead

Griffin go for it so when your wife goes in for a haircut do they cut all both of your hairs for

free no they would probably charge $100 for that too oh you

know dude I could do a whole podcast on Pizza I seriously we could start like a whole show where all we do is talk about

pizza in fact uh Dave pornoy uh from bartool isn't that his

thing like doesn't he just do like I eat pizza at different places and just talk about the pizza I I could I could do that for sure I could do that for sush

Sushi I can do it for pizza there's a bunch of food genres that I could just

go eat and just I wouldn't even talk it would just be like

like I got to tell you man ever since I discovered this I'm a whole lot less Drive the wife down

there this makes it worthwhile it's worth driving a half an hour too yeah dude now you're making me hungry for pizza I'm going to Costco later today

actually so but God this place looks great Lewis I've never heard of it sadly

um you have pitched something that I can't experience so thanks for ruining my life I think there's one in Vegas oh

great well let me drive there yeah yeah it's right now it's mostly West Coast yeah they got a ton of them in

California La San Francisco got franchise opportunities maybe I should open one yeah honestly like it's so good

and and you walk in there you see these big bags of their flower right in the back they just kind of sitting around and all this stuff you're like man I I

wonder how much they teach you about this like because it has to be I have his uh cookbook called you know the

pizza Bible or something like that right and uh you know the basic crust like oh you make it you let it sit for two days

you do this you know all it's not like just a simple thing right I mean to make

it that good you got to follow certain rules and yeah I mean I I it's a

franchise but man it's good I don't know I that's the only one I've been to I mean I've the one in North Beach is good

but I've never been to one in you know LA or Vegas or whatever okay dude they've got one called the panti it's on

like Brooklyn style crust dude this thing so tomato sauce mozzarella pepperoni we're already looking good

lingu lingua is that like spicy sausage yeah I think that's a I can't remember I

don't know what that is Torito I think that is spicy sausage ricotta oh man banana peppers oh dude I love banana

peppers calibra Peppers it's like spicy peppers Serrano chilies green onions oh

my goodness and chalula they got chalula on it that one's GNA light you up buddy

yeah that's gonna burn on the way in and the way out you gota be careful of that that chalula stuff is no joke man and it

tastes so good and my kids always chastise me now when they see me using hot sauce they're like don't eat too

much of that you're going to be up you know at 4 a.m. the volcano is going to erupt yeah

oh man all right well I did not expect to talk about

pizza and I am now very pizza I'll be ordering it on Tuesday okay I'm getting

Costco today just think how nice it be if you could just sit and listen to an off-topic podcast and eat your free

pizza on a Tuesday that's that's the life right there who's next is it me all

right I got so much I can talk about I finally did it after watching all of

the best out takes of of Matthew Barry uh from the

toast of London you guys have all heard me talk about him um I just been watching like people keep putting

together like these um mega clips of like Matthew Barry segments from like these different shows and he's also been

on um well there's a show that I think it's I think it's even still ongoing called what we do in the

shadows which is this jine Clement SL um

oh God who was the director of um the new Thor movies um I can never remember

that guy's name what Wati or something uh taka watiti right I think that's how

you say tati he's on it too Matthew ber and I finally got a subscription to Hulu

which is where you can watch the show because Hulu and Disney plus were doing a promotion where they give you both for

$3 a month for the for the first year so I was like dang this is too good to pass up what is it you get what and what it

was like a it was like a Black Friday promotion I think it might even still be ongoing I talked about it here on the show $3 a month for Hulu and Disney plus

it's the ad supported which I actually hate Tao Titi thank you Jose in the chat

I actually um hate ads in shows they're so intrusive and pull you out of the

experience but whatever it's $3 a month so I've been watching I've been watching what we do in the shadows and it's I

mean it's exactly what I would expect it to be it's quirky and uh entertaining

and Matthew Barry's in it and he's probably like one of my favorite characters and and as much as I've

enjoyed it I would I would also I I it's I'm kind of surprised that I don't

really laugh that often like I actually haven't found it to be funny like I have

found it to be amusing and I watch it I'm like oh that's interesting or that's kind of funny but like I never actually

laugh and so as much as as I've been enjoying it I've also been slightly

disappointed by it because I having watched all these Matthew Barry Clips they are edited in such a way

where you get like the cream of the crop like and the reactions that he has to many situations are really funny but

like when you see those reactions in context in the in the show for some reason they're just not as funny and

there's a lot of humor in it that just doesn't resonate with me um and I feel like sometimes it's being quirky or

ironic just for like you know to be quirky quirky or ironic like it's trying a little too hard but I still find

myself compelled to watch it like I'm still enjoying it I just wish it were funnier and I'm only in season two so

I'm still kind of early in I think there's like six seasons and I don't even know now we have to look it up well

the I was say the episode of Mark Hill is absolutely hilarious oh there's an episode with with okay oh yeah he has a

guest spot in a great episode on that okay so maybe it's get better um it's on

FX by the way let's see can I pull this up and I know I feel like I'm being too hard on it like it it is a good show and

I do find it to be entertaining and so far it's definitely been worth watching

I just am surprised that I don't think it's funnier now I should also add I

find that it is actually kind of hard to make me laugh I wish I laughed more easily at these types of

things and and maybe that's surprising to people maybe because when we're in this show I feel like I laugh a lot but we're having

conversations and I find our conversations to be funny or amusing sometimes but like when I watch stuff by

myself like I actually find like it's really difficult for me to find something funny there's just not a lot

of shows out there that I have actually laughed really hard at and I wish that

were not true I wish it were easier to make me laugh I I feel like being someone who's easy to laugh is actually

a gift because you get to enjoy everything so much more but so yeah I'm watching the show I started watching it

this year it's obviously not new to this year although they do have new seasons this year um yeah so it's still ongoing

they are on what season are the end now season six I think season six is ongoing

this year I say it makes a big difference like watching something with a group of people versus watching it

alone I can watch the exact same thing in a theater like with a bunch of people and you know laughed up like man one I

think the most one of the most seminal like one of the most like awesome memorable movements in a movie theater

was watching like Star Wars the Force awakens in 2015 on opening night like man that was an electric crowd everybody

was like laughing at every joke you know and then you rewatch it and it's like oh that's amusing kind of kind of in the

same way you know and uh let's see here we got Matthew drco in the chat saying

is this like a reboot of Dark Shadows I think it is I think it was actually I

think that that was a movie wasn't it and I think it was made by Jamaine Clement and then

they turned it into a show I think Dark Shadows is really old is it okay so

maybe that's not I maybe there was a reboot of it or something but I mean there was a movie called what we do in

the shadows okay so that's what it is it's a it's a a show version of that movie and for those of you that know

nothing about it it's a show about these ancient vampires all living in a house

together um contending with the realities of Modern Life like the

ancient Romanticism of their past lives are just gone and now they're living in like this

modern world where people just don't believe that vampires exist and and yet

they are all um they have a lot of elements of their personalities that

miss those older ages where they used to live because they were just more romantic and they could get away with

killing more people and it's just the what is it like to be a vampire and exist in the vampire

community and there's a lot of absurdity community a lot of the comedy comes from

like what does it to mean to be a member of the vampire Community right like they have like their own community and laws and police force and like all this stuff

that you just didn't know about and um and I think that creates a lot of the humor and there's like different kind of

vampires that you didn't realize exist which I won't talk about because I don't want to spoil it for you but there's

different kinds of V Empires and not just like the blood sucking kinds um so

in that way it's also kind of funny and the show is also highly sexualized

because like the vampires are like you know they have absolutely no morals they just do whatever they want all the time

because they're like these evil creatures and morality is not a thing for them so they just do whatever Pleasures them um which puts them into

like sometimes awkward scenarios they also have like this ongoing um this how do I describe this

they have like this ancient ongoing um um what do I call it

uh um I want to say issue that's not the word I'm looking for

but what is it when like when two families are like opposed to each other

um like like a feud a feud thank you an ongoing ancient Feud with like the

werewolf community so they're always like battling each other and like having like these stupid fights with one

another so some of that stuff is really funny but anyway I've been watching that show and so far I like it a lot but I

just wish it were a little funnier but I'm looking forward to the Mark H

episode okay who's next

Griffin no l turn oh

geeez jez if you have nothing L you can pass it well you know what I'm going to talk

about something because this is a surprise to me this this year I I I actually I received this as a you know

review unit or whatever and I didn't ask for it it just I just got it and I was like oh God I I almost didn't take it

out of the box I was like what is what is this it it's the anchor was the

number I had it up here they don't put the numbers on there or if they do it's too small anchor 733 powerbank JN Prime

power core 65 watt dude their Prime stuff is nice this thing it is nice it's

and you know I was like well who wants a power bank that's that big and that heavy well it's it's also got the little

flip out plug-in switch right so you can use as a charger you can charge up to three things at one time it's got two

USBC and one usba sorry Le what was the name again anchor 733 power bank you're

733 I got it you got it yeah and uh like I said I I was I was

not thinking I was going to like this but I found it to be incredibly useful when traveling uh because it's got it

holds a lot of power you can always charge your phone up uh you can share it with other people you know if like your

one of your traveling companions didn't bring a charger it's got enough juice you can charge up multiple phones at

once get back to your hotel room or airport lounge or whatever you can plug it in the wall and charge stuff it

charges itself up it you know it's well built it's solid it's kind of heavy it's about the size it's smaller than an

iPhone but a lot thicker than an iPhone know probably about an inch thick it

really it it kind of shocked me at how useful it is and I even end up this is this sounds nuts I end up using this

around the house like if my phone gets drastically low and I'm like I got to go do something right now on the phone I'll

just plug it into this thing and carry it around rather than like having to sit right by a an outlet right anyway good

product one of the things that I was surprised by you know did not think it was gonna I I actually was almost like

why would anybody even make a product like this but the fact is if you have a you know like a Macbook that you need to

charge up this isn't that much bigger or heavier than a a Macbook charger plus it does all these other things very very

fast charging very very handy so I mean I like the fact that you sexy product

you know what though people sleep on their charging Tech which I think is a big mistake I think

that people don't think about upgrading their charging Tech and I have friends that have they'll use like that little

square charger iPhone charger from you know 15 years ago have an article about

why you should never use those anymore dude they're terrible and they're super slow they take forever and then I see

people use like those old like giant brick iPad chargers still and people tend to not want to spend money on their

charging Tech but dude look at your life how much stuff in your life needs to be charged and if you have a good charger

it can charge all your gadgets all at once at full speed and it has may have

other features which you know ankor usually builds into their Chargers so I

think it's worth spending some money on a good charger and not just use the ones that came with your phone or didn't come

with your phone anymore right they don't even include Chargers anymore so you got to buy your own and you might as well

buy a good one CU dude it's your it's your time like you're going to be sitting there waiting for your phone to charge and you could be out living your

life I mean how there's so many times where I want to use my phone and I I need it to charge quickly before I can

leave and so I love charging Tech I wish it were more popular I hesitate to talk about it because I feel like it bores

people but Anor sent me Anor Anor I can't I see I can't not do it anchor sent me two Chargers one I'm using on my

desk and another one that I'm using inside the house that I'll probably be talking about in the near future

there're they're fantastic devices and they make your life so much better and they charge your devices so much faster

it's totally worth it in my mind and the thing is shocking about anchor is just how much product they push out you know

it's it's like almost impossible to keep on tap on top of what's new what's

coming I mean they've got a whole bunch of different kinds of Power Banks um I mean this one I'm not even sure if this

one came out this year it might have been the end of last year but they have if you look at they they've got all

kinds you know a lot of them that have these these same kinds of capabilities that we that I was talking about even

more storage there's one in here 27 650 milliamp hours I mean good grief it's

almost like you could power your Tesla with it or something oh maybe for 30 seconds as long as you keep it under 25

get the blinkers working I mean it's awesome you know

because it's super easy to use super easy to charge I I the other day when my brakes went on I had to borrow my neighbor's car you know I'm like I don't

know what I I got to charge it my phone CU it's almost dead and I get I need to use it to you I can't can't use carplay

cuz this car doesn't have anything like that so I'm just going to have hold you know use the phone in in carplay mode I

just grabbed this thing and ran out to the hit the road great well I love that it it works as like a plug-in charger

and that also charges its own battery that's that's a really great idea yeah it's it's deceptively simple

isn't it uhhuh yes okay moving on Griffin I think we should

do one more each and then we should call it good because we could just keep going and keep going and keep going but now I'm hungry I want to go I'm extremely

hungry I wish it was Tuesday and I lived in Ohio I I I can't want to go to Ohio just

to try that pizza actually go to San Francisco first so I can try that place that you mentioned Slice

House what do you got for us Griffin all right I'm gonna end this on an anti-pick

okay I was trying to come up this I was trying to come up with one because you know we started this last year they they were their hit but you know I didn't

really not enjoy a lot this year but then realized I was missing the for the

forest for the trees and I looked up and I realized there was one thing that was like a rain cloud over all of 2024 for

me trying to buy a house is absolute is an absolute goddamn

nightmare let me tell you what I have okay I have I I work for CTO I have a

contract based job I basically guaranteed income much more so than a regular job job where they can just like

you know let you go on any old Tuesday and suddenly you have zero income so you would think that would help my case but

for some whatever reason it does not because they need I don't know I look I

I I'm also incredibly fortunate to be able to even consider this I have a good support system I have you know people

who who will help me through whatever place I I can put down a down payment I don't even want an especially nice house

I'm not looking for you know a quar million dollar whatever I I mean I'm trying to I'm trying to

move into akan you know akan isn't it's not

even yeah to akine exactly no nobody very few people

Aspire or dream to live an akan but it should be easy to move there but for

whatever reason oh well we need we need two years of financial history okay I'll give you Financial you're two years of

whatever taxes you need oh but your current job you've only worked at full-time in starting in 2023 not 2022

in 2022 you were only working at cul ofm parttime and you only made you know a

few hundred so technically from a legal perspective my income in over the last

two years averages out to only be like $700 a month which it is not I can

assure you that but I don't know I you know so then I run down the list of you

know all the family and friends and people who I am at least comfortable asking hey can you help me co-sign a

house because even though I have guaranteed income for the year for whatever reason the financial system

does not believe me and you know can you just like just put your put your name on a line and help me buy a house and you

know it is a lot to ask of people people are scared you know in this economy

whatever no so that that's how I ended up staying here in the middle of nowhere

for another calendar year but you can guarantee that on January 1st 2025 I'm

going to start running all of my taxes as early as I can to see if I can get approved and move out of here buying a

house it's a mess I I have I privileged enough to have it not be that big of a

nightmare I would think but what do you know I I can't get one whatever you know

what's funny is when we bought our house in Seattle a while ago I had I was kind

of technically a contractor although it was an open contract there was no end date and I was making more money than my

wife but our lender said that because they considered me to be a quote unquote

contract employee that they didn't that couldn't be used in the calculation so

they took my income out of the um the calculation because my wife was a

teacher and even though she made less than me it would be more likely for us

to get a loan if we didn't include my income at all and we only used her hers

and sure enough that's what happened and they gave us a loan based solely on her income even though that made like our

debt to income ratio much higher everything else and they would rather not count the money that I made even

though it obviously increased like our the stability of our financial position and only use hers which means that we

would be making you know less money on paper and then that's okay so the whole thing is totally bizarre I mean they

have all these like Arcane rules that you have to understand to get a loan yeah I don't even have a lot of

debt like I I paid off my car I I don't have that much in student lo I only I only actually had to pay out of like

personally for Like Us One Singular semester of college I'm incredibly lucky there free college it's great I

recommend it but like I don't know I I don't have any but

I guess legally speaking I don't have very much income either which is weird because I can show them a contract that

says hey I'm going to make this much this year oh because you're not a W2

employee yeah yeah go yeah see that is so strange like a W2 employee you can

just fire one of those people and then like yeah there's absolutely no more stability being W2 than being contract

well maybe a little bit more because with contract they can just say yeah you're done and they tend to do that maybe more often as a contract employee

versus a W2 but W if the contract has a fixed date so if Leander decided not to renew my contract I would at least know

when that's going to happen you know right I think he's going to surprise you with that well you just need to ask L

key to make you a W2 employee and quadruple your rate just ask I'm sure he'll be it's the holiday season you

know my my renewal is coming up maybe maybe he'll feel generous yeah maybe we can find some

more stuff for you to do for me too send you some more money although that doesn't really matter because it doesn't matter last two years yeah that's right

that's right okay anyway all right well more on that later I'd also be

curious to hear like what places in Ohio are good places to invest because if aran's not a good place it's like I hear

there are great places in Ohio I don't know of any of them but it's probably a good place to invest because you have a lot of cheap property that you can

renovate and turn around but it's not a great place to live it's only I mean that's only really true at least in my

limited understanding it's only really true if the place is growing if it's not growing buying a cheap house in a place

that's not growing is not a good idea because people don't want to move there like you want to get a cheap house could

be growing by one well I'll buy a house fixed up it's to you oh wait I can't trust your income I

wouldn't mean that I can't trust your income I can't can't to you all right

who's next is it me yeah okay God there's so much stuff I could talk

about well first of all I'll before I do my last pack pick I'll caveat with one small tangent I'm having an absolute

horrible time trying to figure out whether or not I want the 16-inch MacBook Pro or the 14-inch MacBook Pro

it is a terribly tough decision you know I've seen so many benchmarks that show

that the 14inch throttles because of its thermal issues and then I've seen some

videos where people are like this is not really that big of a problem and they'll do a bunch of benchmarks in like the

like the 14-inch performs almost on par with the 16-inch and so I'm like I don't know

what to believe I don't know what's true anymore and I was hoping that maxtech um would do a video comparing

the 14-inch MacBook Pro to the 16-in like they did with the M3 but they didn't do one which is surprising

because I'm sure I can't be the only person wondering about this and so you have to kind of go off of the M3 videos

that exist out there and like in a bunch of tests that I saw for the M3 again the

14inch seems to do better or the 16-inch and the 14-inch throttles because it's just too small to cool itself and Apple

has like this devious scheme in place now leave at the TC to get get the gravy

man he always knows how to get the gravy so if you want to get the um

unbend well let me let me rephrase this if you want to get the bend um M4 Max

MacBook Pro you were limited to 32 gigabyt of ram you could only go past

that if you get the unbin version so now you have to upgrade your RAM to 48 GB

and you have to upgrade your CP CPU to the 16 core uh CPU 40 core GPU so if I

was like well I'll just get the bin version because it may be um too much power to get the unbin version in the

14-inch MacBook Pro but now you're limited on RAM and I don't want to be limited on RAM I want to get 64 gabt of

ram so I kind of have to either get like this neutered version or I have to get

the ultra powerful version and I really don't know what to do man uh this 16in

has the bigger screen obviously but and the better Cooling and it does perform better in some benchmarks that I've seen

and in some of the Benchmark tests I've seen it performs way better but then in others it seems to do not really any

better than the 14inch and so I'm agonizing over this decision I really just don't know what to do and I want to

buy it in January which is right around the corner I'm also on the fence on whether or not to get the 13-in iPad Pro

or the 11in iPad Pro these are all very first world problems yes I'm going to be

dropping a lot of cash but it's been a long time since I've upgraded any of my Apple stuff so I'm like okay you got

every once in a while you got to perk down the money and you know get something new I mean my personal opinion I would go big laptop small iPad I've

always been a big laptop person like ever since I got my first laptop in 2006 which typically was not my first

computer but my first laptop I had a 15-inch like Acer PC laptop you know then I I I've just always been on the

larger laptop side like you know 15-in MacBook Pro and when you start with like a PC laptop it just it

it just gets you used to the to the size and weight cuz like a 14inch PC laptop

is heavier than a 16-inch MacBook Pro but the problem is that it's so heavy man I mean it really is a lot heavier

the 16-inch MacBook Pro I think is like maybe a pound and a half heavier than the 14inch really I think so it's at

least a pound and I'm so tired of

carrying this big laptop all over the place it's super heavy it just makes me not want to bring it places because it's

so heavy um so I think in in that respect like you're get a big laptop get

the small iPad argument actually makes sense because when you travel you could just take the iPad instead of the laptop

but I know I'm going to upgrade again when the OLED MacBook Pros come out so I'm like maybe I should just try the

14inch for a couple years and just see how I like it but it really kills me to

spend money on something with a higher level of performance on paper that you can't utilize because its cooling system is so

inefficient that you're essentially paying for Speed that you can't use that

is like a thorn in my side I really just can't I can't get myself think that

you're paying for Speed that you can't use when you buy an expensive laptop and you only make like one video on an

average of every other month well you know I I'm going to be getting back into the YouTube channel so none of that

matters anymore 2025 it's all going live it's going to happen it's all happening in 2025 that's when you're right it's

it's a little over a pound heavier yeah I mean it doesn't sound like a lot but I once you've lifted it go to yeah lift it

and you'll see it it is it is it is bigger and I I have big aspirations

Griffin we know the reality let's not mess with the fantasy I have big aspirations at getting back into the

YouTube game after what 10 years of kind of doing it here and there and uh I want

to do it man I really do want to do it I want to make it happen and to be honest I probably don't need anything I could

probably get away with my M1 Max MacBook Pro which is already terrific for probably doing most of what I want to do

but the discounts available to me now the tariffs are looming the money's

burning the hole in my pocket and tariff and I want to I want to upgrade while I

still can because I don't know that I'll always have this discount and dude it's a huge discount I mean if I spec it the

way I want it would go from $5,000 to $3,600 that's how big the discount is it

is a massive savings 25% off you know and so yeah that's exactly right we got

caveman from the chat he he knows what he knows the philosophy it's not about what you need Griffin it's about having

the best about having the best at Apple makes can I at least say that like even with regards to the iPad even feder Rico

T the iPad guy when you think of person who loves the iPad who does a lot of

stuff with the iPad much more stuff on the iPad than you would do and I think you'll even admit that even he chose the

11-in iPad over the 13inch iPad because it's just much more comfortable for that form and and for that reason I think I'm

going to just trust what everyone's saying and just go with the 11 inch not to mention the the 13inch is $300 more

which is a steep price to pay for just 2 in of screen I mean it's the same in every other respect so there's really

really no other benefit to getting the bigger iPad and and you're right I mean

I I I'm not even going to make this thing sweat I mean I I use it for some

light duty web browsing and for watching videos at night um and the only reason

I'm even getting it is because I have a discount on it so I'm like okay well it makes sense to get the pro because it would be almost the same price as the

air so I might as well just get that one since the discounts available to me um by the way thank you to um everyone who

listens to the show who's helped me get a discount like we have um quite a few gen geni who have extended their

discounts to me which I I really gratefully uh I'm very grateful for and I appreciate all of you giving me the hookup um super nice of you to make that

available to me and super helpful because like $55,000 for a laptop o that

is that's a lot that's a lot of money not sure I would buy it without a discount but anyway agonizing over that

decision is my anti-pick um last pick of the year another

show I kind of forced myself to endure um I've been watching Rick and Morty

have you guys ever seen Rick and Morty dude it is watched okay it's I am

actually enjoying it but the exact same critique I have of Rick and Morty I have of what we do in the shadows where it's

wildly creative completely original and I am me though I am enjoying it it's

supposed to be a comedy and I never actually laugh at anything so I don't know if it's a problem with me or a

problem with these shows that are so they these these creators have become so

esoteric like they're almost like Johnny IES where they're so good at what they do that their tastes have been elevated

to a degree where they're making things that are only funny to them but normal people don't actually get what's going on or find them funny anymore like

Johnny I and his Creations it's like dude we don't need something thinner we don't need something with less por just because you want to have symmetry like

it needs to actually be useful you know like feel like maybe we've reached this point with some of these shows and as much as I'm enjoying Rick and Morty and

it is super creative and it's got a cult following and I do find myself strangely

compelled to continue watching it even though I would say I'm only enjoying it at maybe at 6.5 out of a 10 I still

continue watching it and and and I find the story lines engaging and amusing and

and entertaining but I just never laugh at the show and I thought it was supposed to be comedy so I don't know

what's going on but I've been I've been digging into Rick and Morty I think I'm on season 3 now um so I'm like maybe

almost halfway through their Seasons but okay so caveman from the chat saying

the first few seasons are good and then it got a little on itself after season 4 so apparently I'm on the good ones and

I'm still not laughing and I just don't know why and but I am still watching it and I have really been enjoying it in

2024 the Rick and Morty Colt Bros are a little agitating to me it's like I feel

like sometimes these shows their idea of funny is taking things over the top and presenting

situations and language in an over-the-top manner because they think that just being crazy or kooky or over

the top is funny but it's actually not like being funny is being funny like I saw a video on Tik Tok yesterday it was

Martin Short and Conan O'Brien and Conan O'Brien I mean first of all these guys go way back and I love Martin Short um

he brought um Martin Short on and he was like you know I just have to say that I

I you I've only had you on for like mirror moments and you've already insulted me I don't appreciate that you did that and Martin Short said I didn't

insult you I just said that you look like um a freeze dried version of Prince

Henry I was like dude that's funny and like they both erupted in laughter and I was like that's actually funny to me so

maybe it's just that the comedy doesn't suit my tastes I don't know but whatever it is I just sit there kind of like

lightly smiling but it goes no F farther than that and I'm sad about that even

though I am still enjoying the shows well to that I would say that

after you finish smiling friends or even if you just want to give up and like try something else I recommend no sorry Rick

and Morty I I Rick and Morty for myself after you finish riing Morty or whether

you give up on it or not after that I would I would recommend you watch smiling friends it's much shorter the episodes are only like 10 minutes max

there's only like two seasons and like a few specials out right now smiling oh yeah I've seen this show okay it's it's

incredibly dense like to the point where like you you might like genuinely want to go back and like rewatch them like

two or three times just like take it all in it's it's incredibly fast-paced I think I enjoy it much more than Rick and

Morty I think I tried watching this is on HBO it only has two seasons I guess huh yeah okay no I didn't try watching

this it's sort of a similar sort of like pallet of humor but okay you'll know

within the first episode whether you like it or not really I mean there's just so much very consistent okay I'll give it a try I'll give it a try I used

to watch aquatine Hunger Force but again one of those shows that is just weird

and amusing because of its weirdness but not actually funny I just wish I could

find something that actually made me laugh I think the last thing that really made me laugh was maybe like Dave

Chappelle comedy from like 10 years ago the Dave Chappelle show was one of the

last actual shows that had me actually laughing and even still I see those

sketches pop up on Tik Tok every once in a while where the new like the new generation is sharing those sketches and

like like the um the Charlie Murphy stories about um Prince and stuff those

were actually funny but yeah all right now we're getting

into drug commentary in the chat which I can't read oh dear I don't like I guess

I guess it's like my wife says when I make a joke and I'm I'm like well I thought that was funny I don't know why you didn't she's like I'm laughing on

the inside I'm like well maybe your inside should tell your face because you don't look like you're having a good

time cuz sometimes I mean my wife gets some good material some of the jokes that I tell I'm like that that was that

was that was you know gold tier quality and just nothing like the face is just totally blank and I'm like how could you

not laugh at that I'm laughing on the inside okay I want some outside laughter

though you know but the energy does change when you watch it with other people that's totally

true um I think it helps to watch it with the right people but I digress should we go

ahead and call it there or leis do you have one more pick that you wanted to I got a I got a solid worst of 2024 I

for sure for sure thought that when Griffin was saying oh you know just right there staring in the face giant

black cloud I thought oh obviously he's going to say this no no I was wrong it

was you're talking about buying a house I'm talking about Apple intelligence what a bag of

garbage I can't believe that we didn't none of us thought of that we can't let him get off the hook with this I know

it's still in beta I know that it's not technically ready for prime time but they're still they're still advertising

it to everybody as a feature of the phone so you know they they talked it up like it was the greatest thing since

sliced bread come you know it's the the main feature of the latest iPhones uh I

got a lot of questions about it over Christmas from people who are not even Apple Fans or really plugged into

technology so it's really I mean I I've been using I've been trying to do use it

a lot lately you know image playground I mean it's image playground in particular

is this far from being completely and utterly useless it's photo24 Edition man

a yeah well it I mean it won't let you use Apple product names which comes up

in my line of work it won't let you use people's names it constantly tells me you know add a photo from my like I want

to have every single thing designed around a picture of somebody in my photo library and It's oddly enough it's a

weird selection of who those people are I don't know if there's even a way to tell it no never I don't ever want to

use this person for one of your amazing Creations um you can as Griffin shows

showed us you can add Hitler to your photo library and then you can start to create something that looks like Hitler

uh and and the end result is always this like weird Pixar art crap you know and

it's low resolution you know some of the things have been okay it's always real like

squeaky clean and sometimes it's utterly bizarre still can't I mean I realize Apple intelligence image playground is

the only one with this problem but it still doesn't know how many legs a camel has doesn't know how many fingers a you

know the typical human has things like that um but it's it's not just that I

mean notification summaries you know Mar they range from like marginally useful to complete UT garbage we talked about

this last week they're creating fake news you know attributing this completely fake bit of news the BBC

inventing a husband for Joanna Stern yeah and I mean if you go no it great

and if you go and look on on Twitter or X at any given time you'll see tons of people like just basically posting the

latest ridiculous thing that that this has posted um jimoji you know jimoji is

kind of okay I mean I've created some of those that are actually all right you know not the worst that that one's okay

I I would call that okay um but remember how they said that Siri was GNA get smarter and I know like

the real Siri is gonna get smarter now they say that leis they say I was just looking at their web page the start of a

new era for Siri yeah I mean well at the very start yeah well supposedly this

natural language search is is here now right I still can't get it to like

constantly you ask it for the exact name of an album play something that doesn't even sound like it this to us you know

at our some of our holiday Gatherings it's like I don't remember what I requested but it was something completely normal and findable and it

played like something by an artist I would never listen to with a song title

that wasn't even close to what I asked about it was just like if I had taken a dart board a dart and just thrown it at

a dartboard behind my back like completely completely random result from it uh let me see what you know I I've

used some of the writing tools I've checked them out anyway I don't I think those are okay they're on par with what

you get with rewriting something in chat gbt or something like that slower is all doing it on your device and oh I feel so

much safer knowing that all my information isn't being you know pumped somewhere else I don't know if I actually care about that I would

actually when I'm using AI to rewrite something or try to generate a a different headline or something I would

prefer it to happen quickly rather than just sit there and wait and watch and watch so anyway I I mean I just think

overall the worst thing Apple released all year I mean just wor the camera

trash yes I think it's worse than the sure if it's worse than the camera button to be honest with you I I mean

that's a tight competition right there I don't know I mean I've had some decent results with the camera control I think

it's Overlook um the every time I try to use

the uh image playground and like I said you know I do this stuff for some of our social media posts I create something

and I I compare my results I received with uh image playground if any because

sometimes it it just won't accept it I mean like I put in something the other day I it was just a common phrase and

it's like sorry that language is not supported it's like it's the English

language okay and if you try to create something on iPhone sorry unable to process that

post you know and you go meanwhile you go to grock or you or mid journey and

it's like boom done exactly what you asked for I one of the things you know there's this today in Apple history post

right and for some of the social media we have to you know have an image well there's no image of of Steve wnc working

on Christmas day uh you know from 40 years ago or whatever doesn't exist so

you ask Apple uh image playground of course of course not it's not you know I I use the term you know Apple 2 computer

no sorry not not allowed to do that Steve W no not allowed to do that would you like to have a picture of somebody

from your photo library no so I go to grock and I say you know Steve wnc

working on uh Apple 2 disc drive on Christmas Day wearing a Santa hat

boom 10 seconds later four versions to choose from I mean and you know what it

looks like it it it looks like grock makes lifelike images better than any

other generative AI that I've used and I I realize some people are

uncomfortable with generative Ai and you know especially news organizations using it I mean we label them as AI we're not

trying to you know pass anything off or pull pull a wool over anyone's eyes right sometimes you want to make

something funny you know I there's all kinds of situations you know Tim Cook sitting on a pile of money right when

they have an earnings report okay great obviously not real obviously a

cartoon uh so I don't know man I I just I'm const L disappointed with the uh

with the oh and the other great thing is like like the the things that suggests like the replies in the messages like

what you would send to somebody oh come on really yeah like yeah it's like it's just stupid that's

stupid and pointless anyway R over here hearing you talk about it it

just makes me think yeah I the tool is always fighting you you know like feel like you're trying to like wrestle an

answer out of this thing and you could just go to Mid Journey or Gro and get it and those tools are built to anticipate

and give you what you want and I don't know that Apple will ever iron out these poor user experiences because

they're based on certain philosophies that I think Apple has and I think that they're also based off of a certain

level of protectionism like apple doesn't want to give you something that could make their brand look bad

and grock and mid Journey fake BBC News Headlines like that or a picture of w

doing something unscrupulous you know like apple has to maintain their level

of brand image and integrity or whatever you want to call it and mid journey and

SC they're Scrappy startups like they they just got nothing to lose it's like

when Steve Jobs left apple and went to next and he was like I feel like I entered one of the most creative periods in my life like all the weights and the

rules and the this and the that it just I I let it all roll off my shoulders I'm paraphrasing basically now he didn't say

any of this verbatim but and he was able to just go do what he thought he should do to make next and apple can't really

do that like they just have all these constraints and baggage and so the stuff

that they have integrated in apple intelligence just doesn't work as well as their competitors

and isn't really practical or useful in many ways but does it need to be they've

got the numbers man they've got so many devices and they're going to make this the default software in all those

devices so people are going to use it just cuz it's there and so they know that and they only have to make it good

enough like it doesn't have to be the best people that need something better they're going to go to grock they're going to go to Mid journey and apple

probably doesn't care about that eventually they're going to add some kind of apple intelligence nonsense to Apple one you'll be paying for it in

some way and they'll get tons of money just because they have the user base but for

guys like us like image playground it really is photo booth 2024 Edition like I used it a few times and I was like it

it never it never is it's often not able to give me a result it doesn't know what to give me or the result is too cartoony

to be useful and so I just don't use it anymore so I'm with you man I still think the camera button is worse but I

am with you Apple intelligence the only good thing that it's done is send Apple

stock to the moon and so I use it every day well that's true Apple stock is

absolutely on a bender did you see the image I dropped in the called cast laack let's see

that's still my favorite one from Apple intelligence it is so

ridiculous what the heck you you gotta work that into the the image thumbnail

or the uh podcast thumbnail Griffin I will actually I actually think that's

quite a cute image it's like a it's a for those of you that that aren't looking it's it's a hand like a like a

surgical glove filled with liquid fully fully with like two uters for legs it

looks like it's a Pillsbury Dough Boy but it's just a hand doing a thumbs up with legs in a very cutesy room with

surrounded by hearts and glowing lights I actually think that's quite endearing L I actually kind of like that one I mean you know the the style of their of

the image CLE artwork you know it works for certain definely A vibe but it's

yeah so that one I mean it's not all trash that I I although you know I think

Griffin said it should be have a not safe for work warning on the image because it's something weird about it

but um I don't know so disappointing overall let me

wrap up with this we got to go but a couple quick things before we go first of all um I think we're we're about to

hit 13 years 14 years in February wow something like that I need to go look I I've lost track so heartfelt thank you

to everyone who listens to the show regularly some of you have been with us since the beginning which I always love hearing from you all and I always say

I'm not sure if the show is getting better or worse but I will say this this year has been one of the most fun years

I've had doing this show like I I you know we lost Leander that was obviously a big hit and maybe one day he'll come

back and Lewis and Iowa are just doing it by ourselves for a while which was

tough because even though we were having fun like neither of us could ever take a break and I think adding Griffin has

been great and also Griffin your help editing the show was a huge burden off my shoulders so I'm glad I was able to

trick you into taking that on um and I want to thank everyone who has just

stuck with us and for those of you who have supported us in the very exclusive cult Club you're not getting what you

paid for I I think I'll be the first to admit that but I hope hope that you feel good I mean it's true I I always have

big Visions it's the execution that's the hard part leis because I just don't have as much time and um but I hope that

you feel good about just supporting our show and helping us have a future here like podcasting is a tough business like

we don't we're not over here making millions of dollars and I think podcasting there's really only maybe a

few podcast genres that do really well shows revolving around Tech I think are

a tough cell a lot of people don't want to listen to to three nerds talk about an Apple device like they want to watch

a YouTube video or something like that but we I feel like this is almost like car talk like we use Apple products as a

vector to have a show where we talk about other stuff and to be honest like the stuff that we talk about that is I I

guess secondary to Apple or even the shows and the movies like those are often the favorite things that that I

think we talk about and produce like the best commentary and the stuff that makes me enjoy the show the most so I just

want to thank you all for listening and for hanging out and um if you haven't forked it over yet let me just ask you

would you consider forking it over five bucks a month you know six 60 bucks a

year it is money I fully admit that and people don't have a lot of money these days and also everyone's trying to get

your five everybody wants your five bucks but if you're gonna Fork it over why not give it to us don't don't give

it to don't give it to HBO don't give it to Netflix how much value do they give you vir none Netflix only give you do

they genuinely give you 90 minutes of entertainment every single week well

probably that and more that we got to scrap that argument Griffin because I'm not sure they actually think about that

well we might lose the five but um in any case I do want to say thank you all
