Randy, I do the Twitters is doing the Twitters.       Oh, by the way, breaking news, uh, Trey Parker is still going to be the voice of mr. Hankey, even though he is not a piece of shit. Yeah.

And so, you know, again, uh, just in case you've missed the last couple episodes, we've decided we're holding off until August for any of our events. I actually just killed off the, uh, the, the one for July for Anarbor. Uh, and so yeah, you know, when things get nice and safe and mellowed out again, uh, we'll, we'll be more than happy to get everybody back together. Cause God knows we miss people. Um, but yeah, such is life. It is what it is. We're trying to stay safe. I looked at my calendar for this week, just from Google and Friday was supposed to be the ministry came at DM concert and I'm like, Hey, good. It got postponed and good. Cause I'm, can't walk still. So a double good. Um, but yeah, April next year. But then, uh, I found Judas priest. It's kind of weird. Uh, went on sale for the Fox Lasar um, like in September. So I'm like, cool. I like a good heavy metal show. Um, tickets are like a hundred bucks. So I'm like, okay. You know, for like early, like, and there's nothing sold. Like if you go to Ticketmaster right now, you can get like fifth row seats, um, all the way around the box, Dude. Well, I mean that that's too early. I like, I'm sorry. That's that's what three months from now? Ish. Wait. No. Yeah, no two months from now. Um, and so, I mean, looking at it, looking at what's going through with, um, you know, Miami just shut down all their bars, restaurants, beaches, gyms, yada, yada, you got Arizona in the midst of all this guy, did it like it's no, this isn't going to be cleaned up in two months at all. Who knows? That's what I like. Yeah. Cause I'm thinking like, Hey, I want to buy the tickets. Nope, no sight, no Bob science knows. It's not going to know. Let's be clear. Science knows it's not going to be done. Well, you know, you know, you don't, you don't never know it could be a vaccine come out. It could just go away. Who knows, or it could be, or a, you know, it could be a world mass hysteria for the next three months. And you know, more people turn into HOA presidents, you know, This is true. Well, and so I do, I love the meme. That's been floating around that said, uh, if nothing else, 2020 has proven to me that time travel is real because they keep going back and trying to fix things. But then they just wind up making it worse, like the premise of every time travel movie ever known to mankind. And so, you know, that's why the murder Hornets, uh, disappeared. Uh, but now we have the bubonic. Plague is back in China. Is that B O O B or No? It'd be, you know, there, there are no boobs on people's necks. It, it is, it is bubonic, No plague. And I'm like, Ooh, is that good? No, it's no, it's not your girl standing behind you while you're sitting down. It's that's not, that's not what this is. Damn it, There are plenty of cases of bubonic plague in the American Southwest over years. It's dry and true. A so it's not an unusual thing. Yeah. But Hey, uh, real quick, America's uh, getting ready big, get back to work with the win, the new economy. You need to take advantage of every advantage to succeed.

And the deep Oracle's always here Super like no pun intended because it's NetSuite, but they've always had super sweet products like Oracle. Like they went through, um, their little down stock and they're little downturn. Um, but I mean like even back in, you know, I remember when eight I came out and it was like, and that was shit 25, 20 years ago now. Um, you know, and that basically like revolutionize the way like database systems work in the enterprise. So I mean it's, and I've kept tabs on them. They do good stuff. Yeah. I was an early adopter of NetSuite actually when I was working, uh, um, doing the international trade thing back in like, Oh three. So yeah, I've been a big user, big proponent of them. Yeah. Um, so, uh, my, my new show I had binged through and I don't know if you've got a, got a chance to watch it, um, was called upload. I don't know. Did you get a chance to Not going to lie? I couldn't understand. Cause all you sent across was upload on Amazon prime and I'm like, did Amazon just enable an upload feature where I can put my shit up there. It's a show and here's the pitch meeting and I'll get into my next hotness after this. Um, so the pitch meeting is okay, so it's a total recall, but you're dead and that's the show. So it's the black mirror episode of San Jacinto. So here's the We're sending you to pero, sorry, I don't remember that one, but here's the, um, the premise. So like right before you die, you're basically they take your consciousness. Basically they take your head and then they upload it into like a second city. You choose like, Hey, I want to be in this world. I want to be in that world. I want to do this. I want to be in Vegas. I want to be on the, on the Lake. And then there's other people. The funny thing is they kind of trash on microtransactions, which is the funniest part of the show. Like while the guys walking in the hotel, like the guy who like, would you like some gum from truly is, it's a delicious treat. And then there's like, he grabs one and it charges 99 cents to his ex wife or ex-girlfriend because it's owned by Verizon. They call it horizon. So it's horizon presents. And so like the guy's dead, but you can like call the living. So it's got this weird, uh, you know, you can like, like as long as she's paying the bill, like your, your, your conscience is living through this avatar. So then there's like the tech support people are called angels. And so like, they can make you whatever. So like she was messing with the guy who was being a jerk. So she like, he flipped her off. So she raised his middle finger, you know what I mean? Like, so like you can make people, they can make people look however they want to look, if that makes sense. Gotcha. Um, I don't know if it's funny or not, but it was definitely worth it. I enjoyed all like the technology jokes and like the, the kind of trashing and microtransactions that they made it funny to me. My dad probably would think it's stupid. I'll give it a watch. Sounds interesting. But I just finished, you know, burning through a couple of shows. So yeah. Why not? Well, the funniest part, I guess the funniest part was the people that couldn't afford, like to be in the good land they're in like the two gig capital land, which is like prison, pretty much prison. And if you, if you like use up too much energy, you use up all your gigs. You basically just freeze until the, it started the next month. And then you get your two gig back. Um, so like, like don't you can't like you used up a gig and a half. You can't move now for the next three weeks. Anyway. It's like I said, it's, it's a, I thought it was great. Um, so speaking, speaking of pitch meetings, that's the other one that was that I caught onto it's they've been going on for a couple of years. I don't know how I just missed it, but it's that it's a guy talking to himself pitching movies. And if you saw like, like I saw episode seven, eight, nine, he did, he did all the star Wars. You have any does like the joker. So he's like, so you're telling me as taxi driver and he's like, yeah, reboots are hot. So like, they go back and, but man, I got down a wormhole with pitch meetings. They had, he has them for like, there's like a hundred of them literally. So you can do like really any movie you've ever watched in the last avatar, like any destroys, any movie you liked or you thought it was like, destroys him, like the plot hole, you know what I mean? Like, like, wait a minute. What about this part where he did that? Like, we don't forget about that. You know, like It's a continuity issue. We'll just, we'll we'll skip over it. They'll never notice it. What about at the beginning when they said, you know, yeah. Was just like, no, no, no, that that's not important. Right. I finished burning through, um, uh, the Mandalorian documentary, uh, uh, and I forgot what it was called. Um, but it's the eight part documentary about the Mandalorian and like, and they talked about like the effects, both special and practical. Um, and one of the things they talked about was, and this is how petty star Wars fans are. Um, which another good story segue coming up momentarily. Uh,...
