1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: What would you talk about on your on your podcast

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Fine Elvis fifteen show. You know, we're always exchanging information

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: about stuff we see in the news, and yeah, like,

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's an interesting when we got to

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: get to that on the show, got to talk about it, Gandhi,

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: you sent me something like a week or two ago,

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I don't think we want

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: to talk about this on the show, or should we?

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: It's so weird. I'm like, we're bringing it up anywhere.

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: It's yeah, you tell them about the game. Listen to this.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: So it's basically something you.

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: Would see in Black Mirror, straight out of sci fi

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: creepy stuff. It is a virtual reality game where if

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: you die in the game, the headset kills you in

15
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: real life.

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: What exactly what she said?

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 2: Play that?

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: Because some people are just so dedicated to this. I

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: guess you if you think you're the gamer of gamers,

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: I would never in a million years.

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, it's like a Russian roulette thing. I mean,

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: it's the thrill of the possibility that you're going to die,

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: but there's the rush of not dying and winning is

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: even greater that A lot of people need that in

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: life because obviously they they're bored.

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: I guess right, I guess so you need this thrill.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: It's apparently based on a Japanese anime game. It's called

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: Sword Art Online, and you have to fight your way

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: through like one hundred floor dungeon. Then you escape this

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: mad scientist virtual world, and they're saying that they have

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: these things like sensors, lasers, beams, whatever aimed at your

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: head from the actual gear.

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: So when you die in the game, they all just

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: kind of zap your brain.

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: What wait, okay, what is the method of execution?

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Is it electrocution? Happens the magess of little lasers that

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: burst your brains?

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically, it just overwhelms your brain.

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out the exact way because I

41
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: don't want to get does wrong and tell people the

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: wrong information.

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, it's not like it it shoots like

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: little ice picks into your ears and your brain.

45
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, there's no ice picks. We don't think there

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: are any bullets involved.

47
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: It's just an overwhelming electrical sensation that is too much

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: for your brain to handle.

49
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: Wow, this is why we need toys r us around still,

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, what I'm saying, we don't have a place.

51
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: To buy Barbie. Why can't we just.

52
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: Do I'll be honest, if the threat of death was,

53
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: you know, a possibility, I would probably play that game

54
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: to my best ability. If I knew I could possibly die,

55
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: I would be the best at that damn game.

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Okay, or just don't play it? Yeah, don't play it

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: is an option. Yeah.

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: And so now the creator is saying that he kind

59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: of wants to mess around with the technology, saying that

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: he needs to figure out some anti tampering headsets so

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: that people can't remove them or unplug it really quickly

62
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: and destroy it. But then they're saying him trying to

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: fix the technology could get him killed.

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: So what do you do?

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Well, you know, if anything, I'm assuming and hoping no

66
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: one would ever want to play this game, you know,

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: but it does bring up an interesting conversation about sure,

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: the need for the thrill. You know. Look, you know,

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: if you're let's bring it back a thousand notches. Let's

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: let's look at bungee jumping. You've done it, Gandhi, I've

71
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: done it. I mean when you jump off that bridge

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: on that elastic band or whatever it is, you know

73
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: a part of you is thinking, Okay, this is it.

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I am actually taking a leap that could kill me

75
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: right now. Yes, and and you know the stats are

76
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: on your side that you will live. You will see

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: the end of this and you'll be okay. But it's

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: still that rush. It's that rush that we every time

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: you get on a roller coaster. I mean it's a

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: death defying roller coaster. I mean we should be dying,

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: but they stays on the track and we live. Well,

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: this is taking that thrill a little deeper, a lot deeper,

83
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: whole new level.

84
00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: Man.

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: I just when I think about this, I think of

86
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: all the things that could go wrong by accident.

87
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: I mean, how many times have you.

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: Guys like sneezed playing a game and oops, the power

89
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: goes out because somebody's working on an electrical grade down

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: the street, Like, no, thank you.

91
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: There's just too much involved in that one.

92
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Isn't this almost like jousting where somebody actually dies? Absolutely Well,

93
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: if there is a chance that one of you will die,

94
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: that's more of a chance to die. What about those

95
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: people that got into that that submarine that went down

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: to look at the Titanic?

97
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: Yes, God, well.

98
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: Guess what you know that they were supposed to come

99
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: back to the surface alive with stories about what they

100
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: saw on the Titanic, but they didn't make it. God

101
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: bless their souls, but they took that chance. That's that

102
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: looking for thrills in life. It's why that we're always

103
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: looking for.

104
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: I don't think I could do it. I don't think

105
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: I could do this.

106
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Well, I would definitely not do it. Yeah, I mean,

107
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the odds. The odds are you're

108
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna die unless you're really good, as Nate says,

109
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: he will become at that game. So Nate is saying,

110
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: they should give you some some some test of headsets, right, yeah,

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: so you can test it and learn it before you

112
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: actually have to play the death game.

113
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 4: Correct. You know you've gotta because we've all played video games.

114
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a chance that your little character is

115
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 4: gonna die and you go to the next life or whatever,

116
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: and so.

117
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: You got to have a little bit of you can't.

118
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: Just raw dog this thing and go in there cold turkey.

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 4: You've got to You've got to have some practice and

120
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: then all right, I'm ready for it. Put the cap on.

121
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: Here we go, I'm ready.

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: Let's give it a whirl. Okay, I'm sure that that

123
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: will come out. And there's good news.

124
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: They're not available for purchase the headsets at this point,

125
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: and you will have to so far, you'd have to

126
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: be able to hook it to this piece of.

127
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: Equipment that helps up your brain to death.

128
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: So okay, good. I don't know. Those are not that

129
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: easy to get, right. They don't have those on Amazon

130
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: quite yet. Not yet, all right. But then again, if

131
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: you're still thinking about a great gift for someone for

132
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: a birthday or a Christmas gift, whatever.

133
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: Hey, I love it so much, play this game. Play

134
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: this game exactly.

135
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: Let me know how it turns out. The fifteen Minute

136
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: Morning Show
