Georgie 0:08
Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Toast & Roast. I'm your co host, Georgie and as always, I'm here with Jeff.
Geoff 0:16
Hello. Hello. Long time no speak depends on when this episode airs. But yeah I had a pretty jam packed day today. How about you?
Georgie 0:29
I just bought some earplugs.
Geoff 0:31
Oh, what are you trying to drown you imagine not doing that you can't hear the other person.
Georgie 0:41
I saw a video where someone was doing blind karaoke. So what you could see was the screen with the lyrics and someone was sitting behind that facing the camera so they couldn't see and the music would start. And then they'd have to sing the song like hearing the music.
Geoff 1:01
Okay, yeah, find karaoke. So the lyrics may make no difference. They just have to sing to the song. I mean, does anybody ever really know the lyrics to the song?
Georgie 1:13
I don't think this person got any of them. Right? The funniest one was an Olivia Rodrigo song started to play. And then he started singing Stacy's mom. Because it happened to say like the
Geoff 1:28
the whole four core thing. I think I think we actually did a recent episode on that. But yeah, that's that's on this on the same line of thinking, do you do get the YouTube recommendations around the six versus one? That is, right. So it's a it's a trend at the moment where they pick six people. And they blindfold one person and ask and try to get them to guess who the fake out of the six is. So it's like, you can do it with anything right? You lines, you line six Asians up, and you ask the blindfolded person, find the real Asian and you can ask the question, you basically go through six rounds of asking them questions and essentially find out who the voices you can only hear their voices. Okay. So I think I did watch one recently that was really good, but I want to maybe not get to that one right away. But I can't think of another one is like okay, you line up six people and you you tell you ask them, you ask the blindfolded person find the like the actual weave, and the blindfold a person's a weave. Right. So
Georgie 2:45
so they have context of what Yeah, someone white like? Yeah.
Geoff 2:50
Usually, like, based on race maybe is a really good one. Like they thought that black person and ask them, okay, you got to figure out who the who the of the six is not a black person.
Georgie 3:04
Yeah, but you can't just go hey, are you black?
Geoff 3:08
Yeah, you have to? Because everyone will say yes. And then so the winner actually generally gets money for winning. If you couldn't find the black person, then I guess they had succeeded. Or rather, they lost. And then the person who's the black person wins. Interesting
Georgie 3:28
thing about this is that like different accents, like, you know, you remember that singer, Anastasia, and they were like, Oh, she's white. But she has a black voice because her accent or the way that she sounded quote unquote, sounded black. So it could Yeah, this could potentially be interesting, you know, and I've seen like people, like on social media who are like mixed race, like, yes, race with like, Chinese. They have a very thick like Chinese accent. But then they also have like, just a very ordinary, like, American accent.
Geoff 4:07
Well, you could also do like interests, right? Like, who? Who is the Australian? And this is like this is pretty typical, where you're like, Okay, who's the who's the Australian? Who's the man who's the American who shot? Who's All right. So there's like, a multitude of angles on this
Georgie 4:34
old one, right? Are you allowed to ask like,
Geoff 4:39
I guess you can't ask when they were born. Yeah. But you could do like references like, I think I generally don't ask
Georgie 4:46
this movie came out still like a little bit.
Geoff 4:50
So imagine like, I guess I do this with coworkers. I don't actually ask what the coworkers ages up but I can kind of guess based on their reactions to some references And if you say hey, like, like that scene and Astro Boy like if everyone responds to that you can kind of get a circa Millennials
Georgie 5:08
I'm not familiar with Astroboy would you then say that they're all millennials? I
Geoff 5:13
guess like a demographic like you were you're interested in Asian media to the degree of Hey Japanese anime, and you have the time
Georgie 5:24
of the time so I don't know if I sent it to you but it was like these two guys who are super into anime trying to sauce out if the other guys into anime. But yeah. Because they because they both feel them. You can tell they both embarrassed about it. So they dropped me like different.
Geoff 5:42
Yeah, and that's the that's like as a six versus what? Like you could do who's actually interested in anatomy? And you can like you can can ask questions. Anyways. So a good one that I saw lately recently was a They blindfolded a Japanese person who has studied abroad. So they they're fluent in English and Japanese. And they told them they lined up six people and ask them to find the real Japanese. Oh, right. Yeah, so I don't really want to spoil it. But I guess I'll have to. I guess I have to for the sake of this like story. But essentially, all six of them had impeccable accent accents. So she couldn't like the blindfolded person couldn't tell. Which one of them were Japanese just by accent even though she was like, adamantly Oh, sure. That no one like only real Japanese that you can tell we have two which is a real Japanese person, by their accent alone. Yeah. And that's 99% of the time true. But man, the they went through painstakingly went through a bunch of people who were Caucasian or otherwise not Japanese. Finding every one of them with perfect pitch accent
Georgie 7:07
phrases and Japanese each of them different.
Geoff 7:10
So so the I think they started out with what's your like? What's your favorite anime? And? Or like, what's your favorite childhood? Food? What kind of first date would you go out? Like, what's like a first date? You would? I don't know. Action.
Georgie 7:31
Japanese though, like,
Geoff 7:33
yeah, yeah. So everyone answered in Japanese. And they're like, Where were you born? Where did you grow up?
Georgie 7:40
Yeah.
Geoff 7:41
So, like, one of the contestants was so good. Because the blindfolded person was from Sapporo. And the they asked a very specific question of what what would you do for your first day? And they the one of the people were like, Oh, I would, I would go Oh, what was my best first date? I guess. Anyways, they said they all they just had a chill Eve chill evening, walking along a river. And and just chatting. And that was really nice. Generic. Yes. super generic.
Georgie 8:17
Japanese. Yeah.
Geoff 8:18
But then the person because she was from support the blindfolded one asked, Oh, which River? Yeah, in Sephora. And she she like the the President as well. Yeah. I mean, like it like there's multiple rumors, obviously. But to suss out exactly. If this person was a fake kind of she. She asked Hey, which River and so far, and the person answered with such a specific River? Yeah. That the blindfolded person was like, she didn't even know their holy shit. No one knows that but locals and so dumbfounded but
Georgie 9:07
the Japanese.
Geoff 9:08
I'm not going to tell you the the but yeah, all the contestants, I think like, they. They messed up, like in one slight aspect. And that's actually really like, I think was really hard on the blindfolded
Georgie 9:26
person and stuff as in like, gave themselves away. Well,
Geoff 9:30
the thing is that because the blindfolded person had such a hard time, they were being really picky. It's like a food contest. At some point they're going to be so good that you have to just like knock them Amok off but by like, this is just too soft. Like, oh, this is just like, not cohesive. But yeah, so the I think one person was like, I am Japanese. And they were like, That's just try to try too hard to convince them the Japanese. So that's like that’s But the PERT the English the Japanese was perfectly fine. And every one of their answers was also perfectly fine. Except they would try hard. So they got knocked out. Yeah. So it's quite interesting. What would you
Georgie 10:15
go on this for? Oh, like what would you mean contestant for you? What would interest? Like
Geoff 10:22
pick the fake web developer? And that would be really easy. I think.
Georgie 10:26
You Yeah, you just wipe the floor with everybody? Or
Geoff 10:30
that's the thing with the casting, I think, right? If they if they casted every like, custard like I don't know, who would who would actually not be a web developer. But no web developer thinks that's fine.
Georgie 10:43
They don't have to be web developers. Right. But then probably what the person's
Geoff 10:47
what the front end? Is the who the front end engineers?
Georgie 10:51
Yeah. That's yeah, that's very specific.
Geoff 10:57
There was one that was like, oh, pick the British person. Yeah. And oh, right. So they they actually did reverse. They did six. Oh, no, no, they did. They did it perfect properly. So the six eight like the who's Australian. There's the one guy that is not Australian, and everyone else is Australian. So. So like questions like? Do we like veggie buy or something like that? Trying to get the fake one or not? Yeah, you're trying to get the fake Asian. But the Japanese one was the opposite way round where they were they tried to square one. Japanese. One Japanese. One. Hmm. I feel like there was a Vegemite question. But I couldn't remember. I can't remember the actual questions.
Georgie 11:50
Like,
Geoff 11:53
like, I guess what, what do you have for breakfast? That you could say There's typical Australian type breakfasts. But Oh, right. So this actually, this one is a different the six Australians versus one secret fake Australian is actually different. A different formula to the one I was saying before they all interview each other. So the blindfolded six people blindfold themselves Yeah, they're talking amongst itself and trying to figure out who that imposter is among themselves,
Georgie 12:28
man. I don't know if anyone can fake being Australian. I'm just gonna put that out there.
Geoff 12:37
Yeah, the the accent really gives them away. I think this is
Georgie 12:41
like Andrea. No offense to anyone. But I've seen a lot of people try to imitate the Australian accent and it's just always wrong.
Geoff 12:48
Yeah, basically, this this was run by a group group of British people. So they were struggling with the accent. They though everyone was like, what's that accent from? So it really is how long can you last? With just like, bullshitting your way through like, oh, I, I studied abroad, I picked up a British accent. And this is why I have it. Right. I'm actually from Australia. Yeah. So yeah. Six people versus one secret shoppers.
Georgie 13:29
I feel like I do one amongst short people. Because apparently, I think I think I have total energy. I think I don't know. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyone? Do you know how tall I am?
Geoff 13:47
I feel like I feel like there's only there's there are specific problems that only short people will know how to solve, I think because tall people just do the thing. But I don't know how to ask that question. Yeah, because because I know that when we're rock climbing, we want to be rock climb. Yeah. And there's taller people. They just don't have the same problem. So the shorter people have to solve for in rock climbing of I don't know how to ask that question.
Georgie 14:15
What about ones with taller people are compromised.
Geoff 14:24
And I didn't even know how this how you would question a short person versus the top
Georgie 14:31
to the tailor that rules.
Geoff 14:34
I mean, I have to be sure and they people tall people can. Can sometimes I wa extend their clothes. I suppose
Georgie 14:43
you can't fit like I have to get some custom made maybe.
Geoff 14:49
Yeah, that's true. So yeah, that was that was that was fun. I think I recommend the Japanese one. Cuz it was very wholesome. Like cuz you as you expect of, of Japanese people, it's very, very polite. They're like said, I've, I'm really sorry, but I have to eliminate you. And they just like, Thanks for the opportunity.
Georgie 15:16
I did similar that was like, I think if someone's trying to like was dating related, and so it's like there's a screen in front of like five people, and you don't really see their feet to begin. So the person is not blindfolded, but there's like a sheet of screen in front of the people. And they ask a bunch of questions. And each time, they I think first couple of times the screen goes up. So then you can see like their knees and then you can see like, from the belly button down, and then at some point, they will eliminate people until it gets up to like their neck and so the only thing you can't see is like their head and date.
Geoff 15:57
Think I've seen a version of that. Yeah, that's a lot of a lot of like, the whole the whole blind and try to guess things that are going around. Anything else is interesting here. Six rappers verse one secret fake rapper like you could ask who their favorite rappers? US one secret AI?
Georgie 16:23
Oh, man. No.
Geoff 16:26
They're gonna go home. Like, I have to try to trick it into hallucinations. Yeah, who's African? who's drunk?
Are you the type? Yeah. Are you the type to either get louder when you? Like how am I? No, as in like, not even drunk. I was like in a work scenario. Because I'm the type that when I go quiet, you think like, that would be the indication that I think that something really wrong? Are you the type to speak up more when you think things are going wrong? Or go quiet?
Georgie 17:13
It's offense, like, What do you mean? Like in a in a board meeting? Room or you mean?
Geoff 17:20
Generally, like if someone's like, okay, like, you have to weigh in on on certain subjects. So you get asked for your opinion, and you give none. Will you give some AV lab? I
Georgie 17:35
am pretty vocal. I think because if something's wrong, and it affects people, I feel bad. Like, I feel like, I need to share my thoughts. But like, I'll give other people the opportunity to speak. But sometimes I think it's important that my thoughts are heard, but also in groups of people at work, who might trust I might invent a little bit more like censored on fields, and name names and things like
Geoff 18:11
yeah, seakeeper profesh. None of my co workers are listening to this summer.
Georgie 18:19
But like, yeah, you have to have some people play the you know what this reminds me of? Like big brother. And those reality. Yeah, play the game. Yeah, I think we talked about this before where I was like, Man, I don't like if I ever go on like the bachelor. I'm gonna be that bitch on purpose who just is like totally outspoken. And I'm not like, I don't know, I just
Geoff 18:46
Yeah, I guess the situation calls for, like, some differences.
Georgie 18:53
But I did read a book from someone who, who was on a reality. I think she was on The Bachelor as one of the women right did love this guy. Yeah. And they painted her as like a bitch. They just cut things that she said. And she sounded like she was like, you know, hating on the other girls. And then in another like show, she was asked to go on another show like The Bachelor in Paradise or something. So it was like, where x bachelor people went on the on this island and you just kind of pair up and stuff. And then they painted her as like a nice person. People in the audience were like rooting for her. So it was it's an interesting insight into a person who was on two different like reality TV shows, but just seen differently because of the way they edited it. So
Geoff 19:44
I saw something recently that was actually about something old. Were they. So there's this X Factor, right? Yeah. Talent Show rep. Located across global, basically it's your regular formula. You have one person come on stage, they show you a talent and then they get judged, right? It
Georgie 20:10
was just the one that they're facing the other way. No,
Geoff 20:13
that's the voice. Oh, right. Okay. The judges are facing the other way and they turn around. But you're an X factor is just any talent. So they're only had to sing. Anyways, so someone I maybe along like 10 years ago, something like that. Basically came up on stage. They were very, they appeared to be, like very close appearance to pink. Right? Yeah, yeah. And the judges austere. Oh, what? What does she do for a living? And she is actually a pink impersonation act. Yeah, like a pink tribute act like that. And basically, she said, she came on here to be herself. Like, it's time to shed the tribute act. And the judges like, okay, so what are you going to sing for us? And she said, So what? By pink? So she sang it.
Georgie 21:17
It was okay. Like, she wasn't trying to sing it. Exactly.
Geoff 21:21
No, she was actually sounded like pink. So the judges were like, confused, because, obviously, she came out here saying the opposite. And then they said, We'll give you a second song. And then they played a second song
Georgie 21:36
and she wanted, like, they just pulled one out of nowhere. And boy, yeah,
Geoff 21:40
I mean, like, that's, that's the first flag, right? Like, how do you have? I guess you could you could reasonably say that. Everyone has two songs prepared. In case they asked for a second one. And then the second one wasn't that great. And then they were like, sorry, like, you're just, we think you're just too confusing your identity and come back. Like, come back another time. And then she basically it's like, yelled out that they told her to sing pink.
Georgie 22:13
Oh, wow. Wait, hang on. She said this, and they didn't cut this. Yeah,
Geoff 22:18
exactly. Told me. Yeah. You know, they they're like, No, we didn't we did any of us there. You should sing pink. Elwood, we gave you even give you a second song. And they just keep repeating that. And she was like, This is bullshit. Fuck you. And fuck all you
Georgie 22:38
did it? Did it ever any point cut to the person who has the shard? On the side?
Geoff 22:43
Yeah, I mean, yeah. Cuts always cuts to the host of the show. And then like she ran off the stage. She threw the microphone and across the stage and raged. And she pushed all the cameras out of the ways that recording me. statement, right, essentially. And yeah, like,
Georgie 23:05
she said that she said that they asked her to sing pink. Yes. And then when they gave her the opportunity, whether it was like, rehearsed or not something else, and they said she was shit. Then she was like, she told me to sing pink. So the thing that she didn't even actually get to rehearsal like,
Geoff 23:23
Well, I think she's can't remember what the second song was. But they Yeah, it was wasn't very good. But in any case, they like refuted it the claim that she that they told her to sing pink and she well, the the outset you like, hey, every contestant has the opportunity to audition, whatever they want. And obviously, that's not entirely true. But also not entirely false either, I think. So. She came back like, like, maybe not like eight years later. Right? Okay. She She like made a YouTube video. And she like explained the situation from her side. And basically, the like, producers told her that it would be a good idea to sing pink it would be like I that would be entertaining. It would, you know, be a positive experience, like experience and whatever. And I guess at the time, it implied that the judges would respond positively to her singing pink. Yeah, versus like, Hey, you told me to sing pink and it didn't work out. So like, why did you sit? Why did you tell me to sing pink if you knew that wasn't like, so they were basically she I think her implication is that they're throw they throw her under the bus. They told her to sing pink. And then the judges outright said like, Oh, why you sing pink? No, that's that's bad just for, like, yes. Engagement, right? And then they she said, all of that was kind of true, but not sure. Right? The producers heavily implied that she should sing pink to get a positive outcome, she could have chosen not to follow that advice. They cut the whole scene where she actually dropped the mic in place, like she just wanted to get off the stage. So she's dropped the mic, embarrassed, and then she ran off the stage. But they edited it to look to make it look like she threw the mic across the stage. At that point, she explained that in her like in her mental state, she just wanted to, like die, essentially, like dying of embarrassment. So she really didn't want anyone filming her in that state. So that's why she was distraught. But it was all edited to be like a rage, quit, like, reaction reaction. But the thought like, that's insane that like the guy willing to go to that length to maybe provide entertainment, but I
Georgie 26:24
also wonder if you're a contestant on one of these things, you've got to sign a form. Right? Yeah, you're kind of subscribing to or you're agreeing to be like, painted. Or like, have a boy they want. Yeah. I don't know. It's still kind of, it's still kind of wrecked.
Geoff 26:45
Yeah, yeah. Oh, there was another scandalous one. Yes. The I like American Idol. So Katy Perry's in the judges. Yeah. And this. This guy comes up. He's like a big dude. It comes up and he sings. And then what was the question? So he asked what's driving you to sing? And he's like, people have always like, rejected Him or, like, like, what's what's, uh, abused him for like his size and wanting to sing. And a really sad sob story. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Simple. The classic one. So he came out with a video after the fact because Oh, right. Right, right. So Katy Perry. Katy Perry, was like sobbing at the story. And just could not believe that, you know, people would treat him that way. Just because of his looks or whatever he wanted to do with his career like singing. And, and it was just sort of, like, unacceptable, but she was just like, Slyke cry sob Yes. Speaking and yelling, right. And just so like, like the whole justice speech, injustice speech. But apparently, he came out and said, that was not her first reaction. She didn't she didn't react enough. So the producers cut and told her to do a second take on her reaction to the story. Yes, that's the one. That's the one she bet that got on the TV. Sounds like yeah, that sounds about right.
Man, reality shows. I mean, I think they brought big brother back. I cancelled it. Yeah, yeah. They canceled it for a bit right.
Georgie 28:54
Oh, my God. I love to get off.
Geoff 28:58
The Australian one I think got canceled. format. Yeah. I used to watch the very first big brothers, but Oh, yeah.
Georgie 29:09
The early ones. Yeah. It's not early 2000s.
Geoff 29:14
Yeah, it's not that good anymore. You're watching
Georgie 29:17
a bunch of randoms and some big ass house.
Geoff 29:20
Yeah. And they're just competing against each other. Just to Yeah. Has been canceled till 2024. Wait, wait, they canceled it again. Of course they did, because it was not a very good show.
So they canceled it before and then they brought it back for the 2023 I think and then they're canceling it again. But yeah, I mean, it was novel at the time because who, like Pete would actually sign up to be watch 24/7 Woods. I
Georgie 30:01
don't know what it was. Yeah, you're right. It was very normal at the time because like, I was like, when like, why would it first was in Australia, I'm pretty sure I was like, not even like 13 years old yet or something. And I remember my mom making some joke about like, my brother should go on it. I'm like, why? Like, why can I go? She's like, I just think your brother will do really well. Like, what do you mean do really well, like everyone in here is like acting and moms like, no, they're all real people. I'm like, I don't know. Like, even as a kid. I was like, yeah, they're real people. But they're still acting involved. Like, okay, your was it the first one? Or was Sarah Marie was the one who won? I have no idea. I think it might have been one of the one of the first ones weren't earlier ones where this person named Sarah Marie won. And I think she was just such a nice person, like people like to like watching her. And she invented this bomb dance. I don't know if you remember where she basically just shake her arm and like slap it? I don't know, it was this early 2000s. And yeah, I was just like, she's still probably acting.
Geoff 31:08
Yeah. I mean, I don't know where all the winners are. Big brother went because big brothers one through 138 to 10 1314 250,000 Australian dollars, right? Big buyers, 11 and 12 to 50. But the tasks and challenges, but this has resulted in the price D prize decreasing. And the final price was 200. And the final prize was t 34.
Georgie 31:40
You wouldn't get taxed on that.
Geoff 31:44
Yeah, I don't know about these winnings. Do you get taxed for winning the lotto? I think you do. I don't think you do. Good question. All right.
Georgie 31:56
We're about to find out.
Geoff 32:01
Do you get tax? Yes. It's tax free income. This includes prizes one through gold. Yeah, I
Georgie 32:09
spent my money.
Geoff 32:12
But yeah, it was kind of like, oh, big. Well, the four was million dollars for five and $6 million. But introduce a fine system. Yeah. Remember the fine system?
Georgie 32:24
Have you? Like,
Geoff 32:25
so I think
Georgie 32:27
big brother would call you and I'd be like,
Geoff 32:31
Yeah, I think there were challenges where you couldn't do certain things. And if you did it, you would, it would result in a fine.
Georgie 32:42
And does that mean like if you win, that means your winnings will be less the firewall.
Geoff 32:47
Apparently I didn't know this. But it seems I paid the fine in
Georgie 32:54
1 million was decreased by 5000. Each time housemates violated a rule. And that was a punishment room. Dude. Okay, here's a here's where the problem is. Big brother is a voice. He has side of the second thing. Like whatever you want to call it, you're being controlled by just like, that's not interesting to me. So like, not only are you just in a room with like, 15 other people or whatever, you have to go by the rules and the rules are by some fucking invisible dude.
Geoff 33:21
It was maybe a statement of the time. What do you mean? Like, like, like, I don't know. Like a political statement. Yeah, we're all just being controlled by a big voice in the sky, and they have to abide by their rules. There's no such thing as freedom or whatever.
Georgie 33:40
Wait, have you seen The Truman Show? Yeah, this is
Geoff 33:44
I was gonna mention, like this could be this could be a Truman Show, like just an extension of the Truman Show. And that's why that's novel. But I'm pretty sure like it got really boring because the people think they would just put like, obviously putting on putting on like an act or something like that. Oh, well, the
Georgie 34:11
times when big brother would be like, Jeff, I need you to go out there and cause a bit of drama. You cannot tell anyone Oh yeah. I have asked you to do this. Yeah, he will fight if you tell anyone your punishment.
Geoff 34:31
I need you to go eat go outside and eat Georgie slice of cake. Yeah. And not tell anybody you did it. And then like, yeah, it just got XYZ. Yeah, I think it got to that extreme. And it's not like, like you said it's a popularity contest. Not with the, with the people in the house because I think they voted people off in some way, shape or form.
Georgie 35:00
Go to public. Yeah, they
Geoff 35:01
ultimately go to public. Yeah. And so it's really just a popularity contest. And you just have to last, that length of time acting.
Georgie 35:13
I wonder like how the voting works, right? I just remember this back in that day, everybody had like fucking Nokia 33 times. You'd have to text who you want to. Yeah. How did how would people have rigged? This is what I know. Because I swear a few times. I'm like, What do you mean that person got voted off? Like, it
Geoff 35:30
fell? Yeah. Did
Georgie 35:32
huge amounts of people go like congregating off Jeff? Like, yeah,
Geoff 35:40
man. I don't even know. But I know how the voting system. Like how the text messages? Yeah, what is it? Yeah. I mean, like, no, it's it's not really I think anyone who's grown up in our, our Euro knows about buying ringtones
Georgie 36:00
Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It just
Geoff 36:03
charged your carrier like an extra. So it's like normal text messages, like 10 cents each shit. I don't know. It's like $3 for a text message. But the system wasn't only for purchasing, like ringtones and things. So you can use use it for voting. So actually, all votes would probably have have been increased text prices, so that they can get a cut
Georgie 36:31
55 cents or 20? As long as shit. Yeah, maybe.
Geoff 36:36
And then you can also like online games, they they managed to tap into this and say, Oh, you text this, you text. If you text this number. We'll give you a voucher return. And then it'll be like $10 What the credits on the game or something like that. Versus like $5 You paid for the text message is very invisible. Why would you pay for
Georgie 36:59
games? Like I just played snake? I saw a video where someone was talking about this. And they were saying yeah, for you people were like, too young to remember. He said we have this thing called minutes. You know when you can call someone right now. And you can just talk to them on the phone forever. And Leanne back in the day? Yeah. limited amount of minutes. And then you said sometimes there'd be like a cap on the time. And it'd be like after 5pm You know, unlimited minutes. You know, if I had to get any important phone call, he said yeah, it would be five o'clock and everyone would be calling me.
Geoff 37:39
Then, and I mean, like we also have text message. character limits. That's where text message speak comes from, by the way, for all those who don't know, LOL was just a way to reduce the amount of characters you had to spell out so that you can fit it all on a text message of 250 characters. Yeah, like, like leet speak was not really a way to short form anything. But how leads because more online games, there was like GTG.
Georgie 38:17
So yeah, not using full stops or periods.
Geoff 38:20
Yeah, it's on. Honestly, people's grammar would like was just out the window and text messages like, came about and then when all these message long for messaging platforms still didn't
Georgie 38:35
see a conversation. It was like an email. Every text message is like you open the like, not even like email because emails changed these days. But it was like an inbox and you had to go into one message. And then you have to go back and read your second message from Jeff and then.
Geoff 38:52
Yeah, those are the days anyways, you know, what else are the days the days of ending this episode?
