H.I.  

The quickest way to find out the correct answer to a question is to assert a wrong answer is correct. -XKCD

About the Peloton Bike commercial: Brady, I think you're overthinking it. Her taking selfies, and making the compilation, can actually be something that helps her do it. Its functionally no different from an exercise journal. And the compilation is about showing herself, and her husband, how much she's progressed over the year. And yeah, the video includes her thanking her husband, who is right next to her. She probably recorded it while he was asleep.

I was so happy when Grey said he would boo. I always feel like the stick-in-the-mud for my attitude with things like this. I'm glad it's not just me.

The streak of HI monthly continues!

This episode populated to RU-vid much sooner than it populated to Overcast despite it already being in Apple's podcast directory (and Apple Podcasts). Overcast must crawl at a different rate. Very interesting.

Hot Drops are a good start to any Hello Internet.

Merry Christmas Tim's!

Thank you for the episode! I love HI. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As a Chinese, I can say I was deeply bothered by Brady saying oil last episode . But some hotpots do use oil, it's a speciality in some regions. Maybe Brady ate that instead. A pity he didn't try a classic with broth instead.

IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE also just a miracle because the last 3 times I've driven 6 hours, there's been a fresh to day-old Hello Internet for me to listen to.

I'm just over an hour and the conversation about the Peleton bike is fucking comedy gold!! XD I love what they don't get, and what they do get; and it reminds us that, "Turns out, Woah, people are different - no shit!"

Is there going to be a Christmas special this year?

I may have this wrong now but roof or no roof, Notre Dame still has (had?) a vaulted ceiling up there. The ashes of the burnt up roof collapsed onto the topside of that ceiling I think, so all the talk of more or less light coming through is pointless. Considering what Brady says about liking modern amendments to churches and old buildings has me thinking he didn't visit the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church while in Berlin! While most old buildings that have stood the test of time become architecturally timeless in a sense (survivorship bias in architectural styes?), modern amendments to them won't necessarily enjoy that timelessness, especially considering the apparent Modern and Post-Modern aversion to architectural beauty. I've been in that glass Reichstag dome, you walk up a long spiral ramp then walk back down. Felt kinda pointless, but maybe that's because I was there at night. Then again, I went up the Fernsehturm at night too, that was pretty incredible, and somewhat nauseating. ---- EDIT ---- When they were talking about Time, I'm surprised they didn't talk about how it went this year. Winner of Time Person of the Year: Greta Thunberg, a young girl, clearly the walking meat-puppet of her parents, who goes around berating rich, powerful people and telling them things they all already know/agree with, which makes them feel bad, which makes them feel _good,_ because self-flagellation is SO IN right now.... vs. - Winner of the People's vote for Time Person of the Year: The Hong Kong Protesters. A group fighting for democracy against their inevitable smothering by an authoritarian regime while the rest of the world just watches on, not daring to get involved and kick off any sort of international conflict with China. Which was more worthy??? Maybe Grey can only sigh exasperatedly so much in the duration of a single podcast.

Re: carbonic acid, yes it's possible; as it happens, the CO2 hydration reaction is actually fairly slow, and this can be frustrating for chemists (say, trying to measure the pH of a solution that CO2 is still bubbling out of), and is frustrating enough to biochemistry that we have carbonic anhydrase enzymes in our blood, ensuring rapid CO2 exchange. Which means, for the ultimate experiment, if you're so inclined: you could take a glass of formerly-fizzy water, add a few granules of carbonic anhydrase (find it at a chem supply or supplement store, probably), let it bubble out some more, and taste it again! (Or the free version, just let a glass sit out for a few days or weeks.)

I would’ve listened to this one earlier had i remembered that you actually do your review of Star Wars in a separate episode. I was avoiding this because i hadn’t seen it yet

You two missed the worst, irredeemable part of the ad... Vertical video!

The first time I saw that exercise bike I immediately associated it with the telescreens from 1984

RE: Banana. Later in the dawn , Laurel carried on, She got right up and dressed herself and, Ate the banana. Zappa, Stevie's Spanking, Them or Us. Also: Epstein didn't kill himself

The Banana thing feels like the start of NFTs. Owning the idea of stupid art

All i saw in the peloton ad was that the actress has a very worried face. Like she was in agonizing pain but that was it. She even tweeted about it. That is it

When's the Star Wars review coming? I wanna hear about this train wreck and never again.

Thank you! Just in time for this footlong i rolled, I love listening to your podcasts with a doobskin. Have a wonderful Christmas, Brady, Grey, and everyone reading this!

1:00:34 even besides the no swearing rule i never thought brady would say that lol

Welcome to the, "Men drinking air infused water out of paper/rice/plastic straws podcast"

We (everyone I know of and me) only takes pictures of food when they want to go through the extra trouble of making it look pretty. We don't do it regularly.

Hello internet AND unmade ?! This is a Christmas miracle !

"Fatty boom batty", Lol.

I don't know if I've ever disagreed with yall more than about the Notre Dame redesign. I hope they source the materials from the same place, and use the opportunity to conserve the original techniques of craftsmanship and construction.

AD for Backblaze comes on as I was typing in Backblaze to get a file from my desktop to my laptop. Thanks HI

Hearing Brady say "banaaanaaa" four times in the space of a few seconds makes me laugh

You wouldn't want to drink an ice cold milkshake from a metal straw. That's a receipt for lost skin

And with that, I am finally caught up on Hello Internet, after more than half a year, and I can now subscribe :3

i love Brady and Grey (full stop)

"What A Dick"" CGP Grey - 2019

I thought nothing of the Peloton ad other than "I wish to God I never see another Peloton ad". Twitter, Facebook, RU-vid, MSNBC live TV. I am a cheap fat lazy man, I am not your target audience!

Happy Christmas 🎄

I cannot believe that I knew the German Parliament building was called the Reichstag (hope I'm spelling that right) and people say learning history is useless.

I’ll need to hear the Star Wars special so I know whether to go see it or not.

55:14 exactly what I thought!

The topic of "hotstoppers" and "hotdrops" comes up once in a while, I even seen Grey's video on the other channel, and still have no frigging clue what all of this is about.

I second Brady's thoughts on the bicycle advert. It's not the product that's at fault, it's the portrayal of an annoying... "Me Generation!" being fixated with social networking. More than a portrayal, it's almost a glorification of that annoyance.

I don't think the RU-vid Rewind video deserved that many dislikes, but I will say that I was tempted to dislike it immediately, simply because it felt the need to mention how poorly received the previous video was. In my opinion, they shouldn't have mentioned that at all. Not only is it starting off on the wrong foot by reminding me of something they did that I don't like, it also felt slightly passive-aggressive and confrontational, like "Oh, you didn't like what I made? I guess you should make it!"

From the later renderings it looks like the light won't reach the inner space to the worship area.

YES MATE.

Sorry did brady call it the Louver or am I mad?

Yeah it's the Reichstag

Hey, the link to the gcpgrey subreddit breaks without a space between the link and the "**"

Bundestag...The building of parlament is named after the Parlament sitting there and in turn After the Country they contribute to roule (Bundesrepublick Deutshland/Federal republc of Germany vs Reichstag, Deutsches reich/German Empire).

Hey Grey and Brady, could you please make an email list for HI? Cause it is the only podcast I listen to and so I don't use any podcast apps, I just go to the website and download the episode. So I usually miss a new episode unless I check Twitter, RU-vid, or the official website.

Brady is a fast-straw guy lol

To the person who made bozochops.com. WHY?

yess

i love listening to this while playing teamfight tactics

1:18:00 Overall the video was just bland. Happy they put felix in there though!

Yooo noti squad

I hate the idea of the glass roof on Notre Dame de Paris. I hate the glass pyramid in the Louvre. I hope all these terrible modernist glass structures are smashed.

Taking photos of food before eating it? People do that?

Does this mean no Star Wars Christmas review :(

But like, where is the Star Wars talk? At one point I thought you were going to pivot into it, but alas.

its called bundestag :)

Hell yeah

The pelaton ad was weird is because the lady looks afraid the entire time. So it's like she is enslaved or something.

About all the youtube dislikes stuff, cant do it anymore lol cuz they removed the dislike button haha

please ignore the ad about Back Blaze... I have experience with Back Blaze and I am so sorry that I took a 5 year subscription on it (I lost my data at back blaze because it took over 3 months for it to backup my computer and it did not complete)..... no back blaze for me again.

Isn't it called the bundestag these days? Doesn't have the same ring to it.

The German Parlament is called Bundestag not Reichstag. Reichstag was its nice during the Third Reich and the Kaiser Reich.

Yay

Fatty boom-batties Love it Brady. Very PC :L

Folks. Episode 132 is 132 minutes long.

Hello

34:11 can it bend? Because some disabled people need that Silicone straws?

Oh god, oh no, please no not some hideous modernistic metal and glass abomination grafted on top of the notredame, what is actually wrong with you guys. A redesign is fine but no no no not some modern architecture shite.

View nr 420

Add a glass minaret, paint it rainbow colours and top it with the McDonald's M to make Notre Dame the perfect example of current western culture.

That redesign is so ugly and horrible

first

Yay

First
