I realized in the past month that I get really panicky with the podcast yeah you don't like silence no so you always just fill it with whatever comes to your brain I'm sorry ignore me I didn't you on a first date so bad oh my god it'd just be like whatever comes to her brain she will just blurt it out yep yes no yep i'm just waiting for you to say something else say it i will say i was on a date and i didn't do all the talking this other guy did all the talking about politics and it was very boring what a shocking what a shocking date topic it was so bad he talks about politics on a date i thought it wasn't a first date it was like his hobby like his thing and i was just like oh was he a journalist nah it was just this random guy we saw in a car who was singing harry styles and then we got his number why'd you go on a date

with that guy because it was harry styles guy and we got his number. Why'd you go on a date with that guy? Because it was Harry Styles guy and we were like, this could be a funny story. Okay. Oh my god. There was a red flag from the beginning. Yeah. Probably. Yeah, that's a weird way to meet someone. Yeah. It was. We found out yesterday that Ella's boyfriend speaks fluent Mandarin.

Yeah, he's pretty good at it. That's pretty cool. Yeah, he used to live in China for about a year and a bit. So there's a noodle place that Ella goes to regularly, and he will order your noodles in Mandarin. Yeah. That's so good. Oh, and then one time.

Oh, can you get better noodles because of that? Oh, absolutely. I'd be like, man, this guy's fucking awesome. Yeah, there was this lady who doesn't speak English, and then someone called up speaking English, and she gets him to take the call and translate it. Yeah, that was quite cute. Did he get paid?

Well, it was one call, so no. Well, I feel like you're on the clock. You should have got something for free. On the clock. Have you guys ever worked at a place where you have a punch card and you have to punch in and out? Yeah. No.

Yeah, same. Yeah. Oh, you're too young. What happens if you forget? Bad things. Do you get in trouble or do you just not get paid? I think they might dock your pay I don't know

Because you punch in when you start and then you punch out when you finish right? Yeah Is that before emails? What? Why? The modern version is you would have to tag in or you'd have to sign in on the iPad Yeah Do they not trust you?

A lot of workplaces no they don't trust you We're very lucky Well for certain I don't think it's that they don't trust you. A lot of workplaces know they don't trust you. We're very lucky. Yeah. For certain, I don't think it's that they don't trust you. I think the reason why the job that I had at where we punched in and out is because you're paid by the hour. But still, there's like- So it's just easier than having to write it down. I guess so.

And because where I worked, there was so many of us, and it's like shift work, so they can't keep a track of everyone you just punch in and out and then it's all there i've seen it in movies and it does look really satisfying when you go in it is yeah it is quite satisfying should we get a punch card system and a fax machine you are so obsessed with fax machines okay they're garbage sorry like i'm keen for to bring back old technology like i talked about last last week, I bought a CD player. Fucking love it. Oh, yeah, it's your CD player. It's so good.

Oh, my God, it's so good. It's changed my life. Back to how good my life used to be. But fax machine's not the one. Yeah, some technology doesn't need to be brought back, and that's one thing that doesn't. I love the idea of sending someone a rude sentence on my face, and then it has to print out and uses all their paper.

It's the printing bit that excites you. Oh yeah, and then you rip it off. You know what was a terrible idea? iPod shuffle. Who wants their music on shuffle all the time? Runners. Runners. Why? Nice and smooth. It's for exercise. But you can't make a playlist. If I'm on shuffle now, can you?

But they don't have any screens on them. No, but you can play your playlist in order. Yeah. You make it in order on iTunes and then you drag the playlist on. Oh, my God, that's so much admin. Yeah, but it costs like 60 bucks compared to like an iPod Mini, which was like however many hundred. Just get a little CD walkman right around with that.

But listening to your music used to be all admin. It used to be all copying the CD onto your computer or downloading it from iTunes and then moving it over to your iPod. And copying the YouTube link into the downloader and getting all the YouTube files. Do you know what would have been wild? That's illegal. I'm there for the cops.

What would have been wild back in the day is if you were a podcaster, like if you were an early adopter of podcasts, you would have had to download the podcast that you wanted to listen to on your computer and then copy that podcast from your computer over to your iPod to listen to your podcast. Well then copy that podcast from your computer over to your iPod to listen to your podcast. Well that's

why it wasn't a thing. Nah. Too much admin. Too much admin. Way too much admin. It was a thing but it wasn't as big. Not popular. No. It was definitely not popular. Too much, yeah just too much admin. I'm not in it for the admin. Like even making playlists I just, I've made so many

they all have about five songs in them. Have you guys watched the docu, not a documentary. Mockumentary. A mockumentary about how Spotify was created? No. It's called The Playlist. It's very interesting. So it's not actual, but what?

No, it's real. So it's a documentary. Wait, what's a mockumentary? A mockumentary is when there's actors acting it out, right? No, that's a parody. A mockumentary is a parody. A mockumentary is like what we do in The Shadows where it's like a fake docos.

Yeah, yeah, what is the word you're looking for? What is that word then? It's dramatisation. Yeah, that would be it. Is that what it is? It's a biopic. That's of a person. Hold on, wait.

I'll just google this show Fictionalised account Okay So it's not real A fictional account is not real Is this series in Swedish? It is real It's 100% real because I watched it

And it has like facts and figures That come up it's 100% real. It's about the guy that created... Is it a true story or is it based on a true story? It looks like actors. It's not a documentary. No, we've established it's not a documentary. But what is it called when actors tell the story of something?

What's another series like that That we can google OJ Simpson trial What's the Facebook movie Spotify The social network Documentary Netflix Oh my god this is going to annoy me

It's his documentary It's not a documentary though Fictionalised account Fictionalised This is what Google's saying It's a drama based on a true story So so it's based on a true story yeah yeah okay yeah but that is that it is the story yeah they just have to i don't they just have to say that in case it's not exactly a hundred percent right or else that is well then they can make up

some of the interactions and some of the characters to make it like some stuff has to be like fictionalized but it is the true story. What's it called? It's called The Playlist. And it's good? Yeah, I liked it. I mean, it's in, it's dubbed. Because obviously the guy, he's from Sweden?

That made Spotify? I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So a lot of it's like in Swedish. I thought the record labels made Spotify. Or did he make it and they in Swedish. I thought the record labels made Spotify. Or did he make it and they bought it? He made it. They bought it. Eventually, he created it in his house, like in his apartment.

The record labels own Spotify now. Yeah, but they didn't. Why is it called Spotify? Don't know. Spot. Spot. Spotify. Yeah, good question.

You know what one of the biggest things in this, I'm about to call it a documentary again, but they talk about how his biggest thing, what's the guy's name? Who created Spotify? The biggest thing for him that they cover is that how he wanted, when you press a song on Spotify, he wanted it to be an under it like in a millisecond to start playing and it took like 12 months for them to be able to do it that like that instant

it is incredible that you can call up any song within an instant like the yeah it's so fast and can i say i don't like it and that's why I've gone back to listening to CDs. It's like when you go to a restaurant and the menu is too big. I don't enjoy it. How am I meant to pick one thing to eat off a menu that's that big? You have to read it beforehand. Yeah. I love a big menu.

Nothing worse than a short menu. And then what if you don't like anything? But that's why I've gone to that restaurant because I know that they've curated a list of foods that I will like. That's what I want. You only go to restaurants where you know that they've curated. If I have a choice, yeah. And that's it. You don't go to any other restaurant. Yeah, and that's why I like CDs. That's the best part about going to

a restaurant is where you go there and you're like, oh, I don't know if I'd like that but I'll try it. Yeah, but I know that the chef has curated that list of things. Guys, guys if vanilla was a person it would be Clint Roberts. A little bit of sprinkles, just a little bit.

A little bit of sprinkles. Maybe, nah I don't think so. Liam from tech is back and he goes nah, no sprinkles. Absolutely nothing. A little chocolate dip. Just the CDs and the vinyl Oh no I've abandoned vinyl

It's too much ever What about when you were trying to get everyone Into Tidal and you paid for it Well that's because I had a car with a really really good Sound system in it and so I could hear the difference Clint what's your favourite colour? You can't hear the difference My favourite colour is black

Wait did you guys just hear Did you guys just hear what he said? What? He paid for Tidal. Do you guys know what Tidal is? Yeah, I've heard of that. Paid for Tidal because his car had such an amazing sound system that he could hear the difference.

Yeah, I could. Oh, my God. I could. No, you couldn't. Now you can back me up, Liam. No, look, I will. Thank you very much. I will admit, yes, Tidal is better.

The bit rate on Tidal is much higher but it just screams rich to me my Audi had such a good sound system that I had to

upgrade to Tidal it did I miss that car every day as he's sipping his Nespresso coffee alright

you're off the deal no Nespresso machine for you and we'll catch you guys tomorrow bye
