The problem with a lot of the science talk is they don't know enough about these topics to make discussion of them all that interesting.

Well Will sure seems to think he knows about those during the podcast but yeah...I agree.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

It's true. I think a fourth chair (ideally a new third booting Whitta, but I know I'm in the minority there) would be a real benefit to the show.

Dunno who you'd get that was sciencey/techy and cool, though.

That is 100% my favorite part. The certainty with which they speak about stuff that they may or may not know shit about. That, my friend, is Tested!

You know the feeling when you watch a "general" news broadcast (nbc,fox,bbc, whatever) and they talk about something you actually know a lot about (video games for example) and they are COMPLETLY terrible and say bull shit from beginning to end?

Sometimes I have the feeling the podcast is exactly like that but it's talking about stuff I don't necessarly know enough about to notice or prove the BS lol...

Did Gary borrow his peeing at Pixar story from Seth Rogan? Seth Rogan told a similar story on Howard Stern.

Is he doing a Pixar movie?

 

[bro1]

Is he doing a Pixar movie?

Not sure but the story he said was almost exactly the same as Seth's. And Gary is a big Stern fan.

 

[eznark]

There is nothing unique about having a "I pissed in a bottle" story.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

If you're male and you haven't pissed in a few bottles you can hand in your man card and penis.

It's one of the best abilities we have over women.

 

[eznark]

When we went on hockey, baseball and football road trips back in high school the back of the bus would be filled with piss bottles, chew bottles and sometimes a combination of the two.

Seth Rogen didn't play sports, did he?

 

[bro1]

If you heard the Seth story, and how it was told you would hear the similarities. Also, how many celebrities pee in a bottle prior to going into a pitch meeting?

This one? Cos it's really not that similar, at all.

I was going to ask why the hell you had to do that but then I realized when your schools are probably hundreds of miles away in nowhere Wisconsin I understand.

Hockey and baseball specifically we traveled all over the Midwest. The trips up to the UP were the worst.

 

[FStop7]

Surprise twist: The truth is that Seth Rogan was with Gary and it was actually Seth that Gary urinated on before the pitch meeting. It's an ancient 'good luck' custom.

 

[Gary Whitta]

If I was going to steal a celebrity's anecdote it would be about something better than pissing into a bottle, I assure you.

Speaking of celebrity, are they still shooting your film in Gladwynne, PA the philly suburb?

Clearly there's something horribly wrong with how Pixar's parking lot is set up.

 

[mike23]

Will, were you scared shitless when they told you to step back after the machines started beeping like crazy and they ran to another room?

They finally uploaded the video from there trip to a nuclear reactor

That guy is a hipster you guys just aren't cool enough to realize it yet.

Their lot is rather simple if I remember right. It's not like the labyrinth that is the Lucasfilm underground garage in SF.

Well that kid does look pretty big for 3. Maybe Gary is on to something...

 

[eznark]

No shit. I thought the kid was like 8 til someone pointed out the caption. The mom must be tiny.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Forget the robots, my children will be subjugated in the future by a race of giant super-humans who were breast feed until their teens

No disease or weapon will harm them

 

[eznark]

Shortest lived reign of terror ever. Just shoot mommy and the super humans will be reduced to blubbering children unable to perform basic tasks.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

No shit. I thought the kid was like 8 til someone pointed out the caption. The mom must be tiny.

Its the miracle of breast milk!

Shortest lived reign of terror ever. Just shoot mommy and the super humans will be reduced to blubbering children unable to perform basic tasks.

Just like the robots and their batteries and resource gathering.

[Lombaszko]

The digital archiving discussion is so close to home. I work in a television & radio archive and we have weekly meetings about digital preservation. Will and Norm are right, standards and formats change all the time. We also have to figure out how to preserve incoming footage from every digital file type you can imagine.
We don't have tons of money or equipment but we're currently archiving legacy video (3/4", betacam, digi betacam) as 10bit uncompressed quicktime files. I'm sure that'll change when something more affordable and better comes around. For stuff on film, 1" or 2" audio and video tape we make a digital betacam preservation master and an uncompressed digital file. Occasionally we transfer to HDCAM but that's pretty expensive for us.
If you're interested in digital preservation, check out some work we're doing at openvault.wgbh.org.

I really liked hearing about this stuff on the podcast!

Will: "I hate those dumb warnings and ads before a movie" [/spends 15 minutes bitching about it before the podcast]

Oh don't mind me, just bitter Gary was sick

Man, fuck headaches. I hate when I get them and medicine never works fast enough

 

[LiK]

wow, the codec and film archival discussions were fantastic. I was glued to it. very interesting stuff.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

This have to listen to this weekds podcast can't wait but this is not a good sign guys

 

[Broder Salsa]

I have pretty much completely stopped visiting tested other than to listen to the podcast whenever it's posted here. New design is still a pain to look at and no resizing of the embedded youtube player and there being no video categories... Ugh. Sorry guys but the new site still sucks. Thought it would be better by now.

They need to get back to being a site that tests shit instead of being another BoingBoing and aggregating stuff they found on the Internet.

This whole teaming up with Myth Busters certainly hasn't resulted in them gaining the ability to do cool "tests". Hopefully that changes soon.

Not surprised. I have pretty much completely stopped visiting tested other than to listen to the podcast whenever it's posted here.

This, too. It shows how top notch Whiskey's web engineers were.
