My dad had a complete collection of early sci-fi magazines - Astounding, Galaxy etc. When he was hospitalised for a week, his mother threw them all out! They’d be worth a fortune now ☹️
Once I heard in a youtube channel called Deadbug about a japanese man who got buried alive in his porn magazine collection. It took months for his death to be noticed. The magazines sheets absorbed all the decomposition sludge that came out of the body, so there was very little stink. He was found because the rent was overdue for a while. Would be nice if Woody Allen did this one and C3P0 was the landlord. Cheers!
This is the Alien 4 of podcasts. It gets cloned again and again, but it never gets it quite right and at the end you just want to go at it with a flame thrower. My favourite podcast out there.
It is also the fourth installment after Boisterous Bros, GRS Show and GRS Show on a channel of its own. Although all of them were that glorious, exclusive kind of train wreck.
Ah man, I can really hear the genuine uncomfortable cringing and pain in Damian's voice as he told that story about losing that picture. Really, have my sympathy there.
"oh boy! I can't wait to hear the wacky adventures of See Threepio in different films. This will be great" *Four hours later* "I guess paint huffing during Coronation Street would be fun"
@@lanceash honestly you raise a good point and I say this as someone who has listened to the podcast over and over. I feel like Georg and Damien are both lovely people who are both interesting with fun stories to tell, but the length and dead air at times make me yearn for the editing and the Horoscope. Again, I will listen to them as background noise as I always have, but I guess the massive differences between all three iterations of the podcast are true to the ethos of the entire channel. I look forward to seeing what is next for the podcast and in fact all of the content from this channel as it hasn't left me too disappointed to give up :)
The way I understand The Singularity, it is not about technology becoming human or conscious, but when it gets so sophisticated that it starts inventing, improving and creating new technology on its own at a pace and sophistication that is incomprehensible to humans
31:20 I was painting this crane thing with some blue solvent-thinned paint in this non-ventilated bunker-like area once. The effect was so gradual, I only noticed it when I was almost done, and I nearly fell off my ladder since I could not feel my feet being attached to the rest of my legs.
For Damien: my father is equally as bonkers in his obliviousness and decided to rest my 1987 acoustic Tanglewood up against the radiator for 6 months, strings first. 😑
Ah Mr. Carcinogen, this is where it gets hairy. Do I explain that two twats on another podcast said “Slough” funny, cause English folk all know each other donchaknow, or do I super-enthusiastically welcome the new listener from Slough with no context at all?
London is definitely a mixed bag. It has so much in the way of major cultural centres ranging from the V&A to the Royal Observatory, the Barbican to the Globe, the British Museum to the British Library and an insane amount besides. It is also a very beautiful city with Westminster, the Old Naval College, the High Court, St Pancreas and again, much else besides. But as you say, the quality of life is so disparate, you are always confronted with obscene wealth and shameful poverty - often in one view. I used to live in a fairly comfortable shared house in the Isle of Dogs and at one end of my street were scruffy, unfit-for-living council houses and at the other end was a walled block of luxury flats from which you'd see Bentleys or Jaguars speeding away into central London. Or I visited my friend who lived in an old townhouse flat in Kensington, in what may be one of the wealthiest square miles on the planet, but you could see Grenfell from the main road. There is much to recommend London, but politicians of all stripes have become so addicted to foreign cash flowing into London property that it is turning the place into a playground for jetsetters while it feels like everyone else is slipping into a serf status, living in the city in the same manner a serf would live on his lord's land - so as to maintain it for him. There are whole streets of homes built for families in central London that are just vacant, because some Russian oligarch or Arab sheik or even the Vatican have decided to buy them as a means of storing cash. TLDR; it's a beautiful, interesting and important city, but it certainly isn't the best place to live and it is definitely getting worse.
Being German I can tell you that most Germans and pretty much all people living in Berlin see it pretty much in the same light as you see London. It definitely has its nice areas and so on, but overall there is just so many better places to live.
The idea of the singularity in particular has very little to do with AI being self-aware. Its the idea that eventually we will make an AI that is smart enough to make an AI that is better than itself. So you get an infinite feedback loop of AI making smarter and smarter AI until you end up with an AI so smart that we are like ants to it.
I missed the second to last train from Warrington West on a Sunday trip out to visit the government mandated 6 friends in a garden. I was listening to this in the hours between trains and as I slowly froze to death I listened to your story about Ring of Truth, watched the promo and laughed until I wasn't cold anymore. Cheers!
As someone who lives in London I greatly enjoyed the talk about how shit it is. Hounslow was an interesting pick for worst/depressing part, it is the only part of London that I know to have an ongoing race war.
William Sadler and Franko Nero are not just two guys. They almost make up for the absence of Rickman combined and then there's also a brief Robert Patrick, too.
Are you guys ever going to address Georg's new Ernie/Muttley style laugh? It sounds like he's wanting to chuckle but scared of spitting out his dentures.
You can straight up die from huffing solvents. A friend of my niece's suffocated and died right there on the spot in front of a bunch of mates from huffing aerosols. He was about 12.
1:36 LONDON?! 12:00 yeah.. it.. it's good... (was that a good take?!) - flaccid party whistle cont. 38:34 jaded adult 52:00 blurred naked man in gold 2:10:25 LOOOL "Goodnight Father, I will awake you~~" XD
43:00 Hah, Indiana Jones was my first thought as well, since he's such a stiff character, putting him in dynamic roles/situations will be the funniest. Or, like Tony Montana, or, a dramatic role like Schindler's, to make the effect extra Jar-Jarring.. sorry, couldn't resist. 1:04:40 Pygmy purée 1:11:11 Gulliver's Travels, the Massacre! 1:35:00 Stair Wars? 1:42:24 There ya go :) C3-Montan-0
I love the randomness of these podcasts. I think hating on Die hard 2 is a bit unfair... William Sadler is a legend in his own right. He may not be Alan Rickman but give him his due. Any film set in the same universe as Predator and Commando deserves more respect. Well...some of them do anyway. Also, in reference of your previous podcast, Prawn Cocktail Quavers are back!
My experience on the Sans Hosen podcast was pretty dreadful and not worth the mild euphoric effects. I ingested it at about half past midnight, having some schoolwork left to do and needing to get up at 7 in the morning. The effects kicked in about half an hour later, and immediately I zoned out. When I came to, I noticed that I'd been googling ways to take nutmeg without violently shitting myself for a weekend for the past hour. I had not done any schoolwork. 2/10. Mildly interesting, I guess, but not reccomended. If you want to take podcasts, I'd recommend just finding a nice McElroy podcast instead. They're more effective and less bothersome than taking Sans Hosen, and they're legal in 20 states.
As someone who's lived most of his life in a town near Hounslow, I totally agree with your assessment that it's a fucking shit hole. Regarding the highstreet, you're missing out on the fact EVERY shop has the ability to unlock mobile phones
Since you guys seem to enjoy the idea of murderous r2d2 and c3p0 i suggest you to read darth vader comic series. There are 2 droids in that comic series called Triple-Zero and Beetee. Triple-zero being a protocol droid which is identical to tripio with the adding differance of and i quote ''I'm a protocol droid specialized in etiquette, customs translations and torture...''. And our astromech friend is simply a murder machine with built in minigun, lazers and flamethrowers and everything. I think you might enjoy it
I've been to San Francisco and London, I would rather go to London again or live there, there's loads to do in London. While there is nothing to do in San Francisco, very noisy and dirty city (human feces, syringes, not joking), temperature goes from 30 to 10 in a single day, you need to wear layers, just big boring business buildings built on sandy ground, you can see them tip to the side a little bit, while houses are paper tin so that you can hear what your fifth neighbour is doing. And then Karl the fog rolls in, so not much sun around the year as you would expect from California
I can't speak to the naming convention of protocol droids. However, I can say with some certainty that the name "R2D2" comes from when George Lucas was on Jeffrey Epstein's island filming "Rimjob 2, Double penetration 2."
the best city to live in thing is it has to be major to win not small and all the major ones are shit holes now so its the lesser of evils that wins hahaha
Things to like about London: very easy to get laid; pretty easy to have good conversations; Camden Markets is fantastic if you're into that sort of thing. I can't think of anything else. Good food?
