0:00 Hello everyone and welcome back to the N Tech channel here on YouTube where we've got the TNT text for you on reality TV squid game except this is no ordinary TNT text we got going on here it is the Mony take baby the TM take I'm your host mcky hope and today I'm joined by two very special guests I'll start off with a beautiful man to my right what a journey it's been mad do Kahuna you know you hosted million dooll Island and I felt how relationship grew ever so closer going through that you've always been the 2 I guess you can say to the NFI Tech but now I've overstepped you now I'm the host of this podcast Kahuna but ladies and gents please welcome our favorite Kahuna how's it going oh how the turntables it does feel a little bit weird I am used to like I play second seat to Chris all the time on the nullified take but our relationship has been where yeah million dollar Island I was the host now I'm happy to be on the M right hey maky just for Old Time sake you want me to throw you your old intro from the million dollar
1:21 Island oh yes please all right everybody give well how did I do it again it was a full production I remember saying hi high above the maky mark the Great White Hope mu K and Y mu k y [Music] m actually will be perfectly honest with you Kahuna I've been rewatching some of our million dooll Ireland podcasts I'm willing to say this on this podcast the million dollarland podcast I did with you was the most fun I've had podcasting you are such a legend I'm I mean I had fun as well and I'm glad to be playing not hosts on this one I want to be on the monkey ride I know how loose I know how loose you got when I was hosting and I want to see and I know that there's the traders in Zed and the Traders Canada and all you're doing an amazing job hosting yourself in your own right you're becoming a man Mony and I'm proud of man I'm proud of you so I'm really happy to be along for the mkey ride and see how weird and wild this gets with a show like squid game and a host like maky our viewers are in
2:41 For a combination here I'm sure you are so right about that kaha but let's not forget we are joined by another very special beautiful guest she is a co-host of mine on surviv UK and on The Amazing Race Australia it is the wonderful amazing this he V how are you where's my song is all I'm going to say where's my song I'll just be here while you guys have your love in and I'll just I'll wait till you're finished and then I'll just pop in well I think start working on that song mate yeah I think next week I'll have an intro song for V what runs with v can't wait oh [Laughter] anything it's the VG do better okay not an improvisor not which is funny because I was a coach of improvised acting at school that does not surprise me but you know and pro coaching aside we're here to talk about reality TV squid games and Goa you know that this whole entire year I've been telling you and Chris we
4:01 Got to do squid games we got to do squid gam squid game squid game we're finally doing it how do you feel now that routed T squid games is just around the corner it's weird because maky tells the truth he has been harassing Chris for 12 months from like since it was announced that this was going to be a thing Chris has been hearing about squid game squid game squid and in my head I was just always it's in the future it's down the road yeah squid game and now it's here it's weirding me out and like it came quick I'm excited for it I am annoyed at one thing though yeah because I also am on a podcast with Chris for a television show called The Challenge this show you're calling it reality TV squid game yeah have you seen what the actual title is oh yeah it's squid game The Challenge The Challenge Squid game The Challenge like what is that yeah in there yeah or not people start watching the MTV version they're like what's this is a rip off of sped game well maybe because the cast hasn't been officially announced maybe all 456
5:21 Contestants are just all 456 contestants from The Challenge you have your CTS your anas your Michelle yeah that would be awesome I mean they probably be really good at this show to be honest with you yeah it would be like even though I've never seen the challenge I would love to see that just everyone who's ever played in one show just all compete together in a completely different show like can you imagine of all 40 seasons of American Survivor yeah it's a lot that it's a lot it's a lot be awesome but Kahuna with million Island there was 100 people and throughout biggest show ever huge the biggest show ever we couldn't even pay attention to all the cast it was just too many to really get the edit how do you think they're gonna go with 456 people when we have a show like Survivor or like The Amazing Race or whatever and there's 18 24 people and you're like I don't even remember them being on it because they were you know kicked out in the second episode you're like who was that guy again I don't remember that person oh yeah that person was on it 6 months ago or whatever when it first started and I'm now on episode 24 I don't know what's going to have with 456 people like what's the edit going to
6:41 Be it's all purple all purple edits yeah it will be all purple I mean they could do something similar to what they did to the actual Korean show which I know V you haven't seen all of squid game so we'll make sure that there's completely spoiler free and we would love to hear your takes of the show sure in the future but perhaps Kahuna something that was kind of shown throughout the kquid game was you had your eight or nine or even 10 main characters and we always saw their perspectives and what they're doing throughout the whole show do you think they could do something similar here with this reality TV squid game I mean I think if they want to make a you know a plausible not plausible but a good narrative and make a TV show that will actually people can care about the characters and invest in and which is what you know we did on a on a on a scripted show is that they write it so that you care about these eight to 10 main characters and I and we've seen a lot of times like again we're going back to the example just because of the massive cast million dollar Island there was a lot of people we had no idea who they were they even on camera you know we had Vault get zero
8:01 Camera Time stuff like that but I don't even know where I was going I threw myself off in the vault reference just taking myself back but where was I going with it I totally lost myself I'm getting will we see everyone on camera yeah like that's I mean I don't think we can but as far as having the main characters on million dollar Island that's where I'm going on million dollar Island they did do that we got to know very well certain specific characters because at the end of the season they knew who was going to play an important part in the edit and then they or like should play important part in the edit and they edited around that right there were people that were going to do nothing say nothing make no impact and then just disappear from the show because they either quit or they get eliminated whatever the case is and if they don't really have a big enough story on the show then it's hard to put in the show as well and that's the problem with reality show is that you're dictated by the contestants and if you have a superstar like a George A King George you make the whole show around him but then you also get when you've got 400 people in there you're going to have the percentages say there will be a good number of people that are awesome on TV and awesome on camera but there's going to be a hell of a lot of people that are really bad as well because one of the things about this show which I'm super fascinated in
9:22 Is that they cast globally like it's 46 people but it's from all around the world it's not just going to be full of Americans and annoy the crap out of you we're going to get a vast a vast array of different contestants which I'm fascinated to see not only from the way they approach a reality show like a competition reality show is the strategy going to be all there that sort of thing but as far as communication goes how they interact with people culturally all that sort of thing it's going to be super fascinating because with the actual scripted show a squid game I mean it's it was pretty much you know mono ethnic like it's all Koreans except for the Indian dude yeah one Indian dude in South Korea but yeah like I don't know how that's going to sort of play out in that regard what do you reckon I think well because I was originally thinking what if they edit the episodes similar to million dollar Island where they only focus on the contestants who are who are going to get eliminated but then I realized probably like 400 of them going to get taken outed light green light right so yeah so it's going to be very interesting how they tried to edit the contestants
10:42 I think we will be getting our M characters like our sa San s wo and we're g to watch their story throughout how do they how do they pick that though I mean one of them would have to be the winner like episode one will'll get the winner we'll know them throughout the season I don't think they're going to surprise us at the end of the season with it but if that becomes the main character the winner and we follow them throughout the whole thing then I think it might be a bit obvious so they might they'll need to kind of throw some red herrings and give us a few characters to root for and get behind without making it really clear as to who you know if there's a guy that goes on and you watched how much of the first episode 30 minutes they've just arrived at squid game okay good so if there's a dude that rocks up that has really crazy debts and he's trying to get in the good books with his daughter and all that sort of thing then maybe that might be that D well so I know that you're a bit of a nerdy person like myself I love The Hunger Games right and those sort of future dystopian worlds right and something I find really interesting about squid games is that it's like a
12:03 It's almost like a evolved situation from The Hunger Games where the Hunger Games you're forced to do it you're forced to kill everyone you're randomly chosen but what's so interesting about squid games is that you choose to go to go and do it you know these people their lives are so terrible at home they would rather die to just some random game than just spend another day back in the everyday situation but the thing about this reality TV version of it is that they've taken the element out because I loved the idea of what are really desperate people willing to do not only to live but to get a good a good chunk of money but now it's just hey here's a bunch of people who enjoyed watching the TV show around the world what are they willing to do for $4 million what do you think of that sort of massive change well just that point right there call me naive but $4 million does that not it's the biggest prizing reality TV show history biggest cast and the biggest prize in any show because that's proper money that's not your $100,000 for your charity kind of money like that's 4 million is proper money and so
13:23 That when that came up I was like what sorry what was the question again I got distracted by the money side of it yeah it was mostly about the casting so the in the Korean version you had really desperate people who would have done anything to just get out of their lives they much rather die at a random game than just spend another second doing that life I feel that's a fairly common tro across the ages in books and film as well and so you know I think that's really where the competition sort of genre comes from what will people do for the money but yeah look it's a it's a lot of money and yeah I'm sure no one's going to die but it also looks fairly brutal the whole just the clips I've seen but yeah it'll be interesting to see how it plays out with that huge a cast but I do believe that in casting there would be people already regard before they even filmed that they would have their
14:43 Eye on and go yeah there's a lot of filler but there's a lot of people who have some interesting stories that we're going to follow along because it will be interesting when they're out maybe first episode or if they win so I if I'm putting myself in an executive producers shoes I would go okay you've got these 10 people maybe 20 people who are really Fascinating People who won't let us down and we can weave a story with these characters that we have decided that they are and then let's just do a blanket casting call for people who are keen and if we get some gold out of that fantastic yeah but if we don't also like they're gone so I think that'd be there'd be sort of more manipulation than maybe appears yeah I'm just gonna leave for a second so I see reset my camera pulsating dot again and I'll come back I don't know what's going on but I'll come back in hang on all sounds good sounds good should we wait should we pause oh no we can keep going it's okay I guess this raises a really good question so when you're trying to find your 10 or so people that are really interesting if you're a casting producer
16:03 Do you cast your everyday normal people around the world or do you try throwing a few celebrities or well-known players from other reality shows into the mix as well I feel like it probably would have been released if there was anyone really of note in the cast but there are some fascinating people out there and the Most Fascinating People apply for reality TV shows yeah so you know they are your extroverts they are your talkers it's interesting how you can have you know just from the experience I've had in casting before you have a really interesting group of people in the room you get them in front of the camera and they've got nothing to say so it's the people it's actually kind of a gift to be able to come be sure enough of yourself come from the room come in front of a camera and still have so much to say to just a camera and so I think you C you can see from the get-go this person's a crier and they're they really love their family they're doing it for their family so we'll go on that angle and try and get those conversations and capture
17:23 Those moments and then you've got someone who's brutal doing it for themselves happy for everyone to hate them let's go with that and so you can sort of start to map out where you'd like things to go and then there'd be just a whole bunch of people that just signed up could string two words together and maybe looked good and you know trying to get some ages I would like to see in 456 people some ethnic diversity some age diversity gender diversity you know all of it because I think that's what we really starved for in a lot of TV shows oh absolutely it's like something that's been great about American Survivor is there you know 50 I believe it's 50% or even like a bit more I think now of you know of PC people of color and they've really made an effort to get more people of different sexualities on the show as well so that we have more of these different stories but in saying that though my personal problem with American Survivor is that everyone is like a you know a game bot strategist right where some people 3D print challenges at home whatnot they've got their own challenges they practice on like there's one
18:43 Season and I was really frustrated with this person where I think it was Owen in season 43 yeah this isn't any he to Owen is just how I personally feel but he said at one point that he statistically does not have a chance to win because he's voted incorrectly x amount of times he's voted correctly y amount of times and in my opinion it's like who cares like it's a game who cares you're in it till you're not right and I think the human ele element is so important the human absolutely so it's kind of while like there's so much diversity there's so there's not a lot of diversity in thought if that makes sense and I'm excited to see with 456 people because we definitely saw it with million dooll Island there was so many different personalities even the Vault who famously got no screen time came onto our podcast in the comments section and he had a great personality he was loud he was out there he was he was he definitely could have been like the George of the season that's how that's how loud and sort of out there he was but we never got to see that unfortun because he wasn't really part of the main story so I really hope that we do get to see a
20:03 Lot of great personalities out there yeah and like you said diversity in strategy I imagine because it seems like such an immersive experience maybe more so than shows that you know because it's coming from a scripted show you know some may be there just to be immersed in that environment and win or lose it doesn't really matter they just are a fan of the show a fan of the writing and they want to live that experience for a little while like the people that do the Star Wars experiences and things like that yeah so yeah I think you're right and I think perhaps it's Australian reality TV has a lot to answer for in terms of diversity and I think you know while this is an Australian show it's I everywhere I'm sort of looking for that diversity and it's really lovely when shows really do make that commitment yeah absolutely and yeah now you're absolutely right gentlemen they make their commitment to more diversity in terms of thought in terms of people in terms of gender and sexualities it's so much more interesting to watch because you have all these different stories that you learn about that and you start to love them because of their story and
21:24 Cuz something about the Korean show is that I mean everyone stories are so different and they're all so sad so you feel sorry for everyone but like as time goes on you know like I obviously won't say anything but things do get very nitty-gritty there's a lot of strategy the heily players involved as well because you're not just thinking how am I going to reach the end it's like can I even you know like if I had to kill someone could I even potentially kill this person right and so I wonder like do you think any of that sort of strategy not that you know anyone's going to die on the show but do you think any of that kind of strategy might come in terms of like I don't think I can beat this [Music] person sorry long just pay no attention to the man behind the curtain yeah I'm and the dog as well yeah well I think I think it' be interesting if this show allows people to be a little bit more brutal than you know I've only really I haven't watched million dooll island or anything like that all the challenge but you know out of Survivor and big brother and things like that there isn't really
22:44 The opportunity to go you're out you're out and you're out you know and so I wonder I think that would be confronting especially when you talk about $4 million to say to be put in the position to directly eliminate someone which I feel like the trailer kind of alludes to that would be an opportunity for a player yeah so and yeah if that's what happens in the scripted show yeah while we're not killing people it's pretty brutal to ask someone to say maky you're not in the running for $4 million anymore yeah like that's harsh that's not killing someone but that's harsh yeah and but I guess what's so good about squid game is that the whole concept of the show is that it's for outcasts right so everyone gets a fair equal shot and there's actually a game is well it's a piss T version I should say but still about squid game but it's good crab game and it's available on Steam is completely free is one of my favorite games of all times me and the boys play all the time but something that we've sort of developed so if we see someone who's really crapped or really good at the game we try and kill them
24:04 So basically there'll be stuff like these Mo Death from Above which is like these massive blocks will fall down but there's only tiny spaces you can F into to avoid we would follow that person to wherever they go and we just keep punching them out so then they can't they can't I hate people like here gaming oh my gosh I'm having flashbacks all I got to say is you do not want to play any competitive games with me even my boys will tell you I'm in your face I will rub it in like I'll be like oh you suck I'm the king you know suck on this oh my God I'm very I get very you that me that is me but when I do really bad I'm just really quiet but once I start doing good it's like yeah and you're but could you but could you point to someone and say you're not getting $4 million you're done could you do that really depends who depends who a stranger could you say that to a stranger ABS I don't stranger and you don't know their story you're just yeah who no four million for you yeah I don't know if I could because that's thing they're complete stranger
25:24 So why should you K right but whereas ever like you know you and me for example there'll be you know a lot more I guess emotion to that because you we've gone to know each other you know through this you'd still do it though you still do it I've said this to Chris a million times so if there's ever like a Survivor podcast a season I'm coming for him like I'm coming for oh gosh oh gosh yeah and that's why we would never play a season together because he would know that I would destroy my own game and trying to take out Chris that's what's going to happen you Tom and Chris all going to end up on Survivor Australia all together that would be so funny would be so funny like can you imagine if like all of us had like applied just randomly without telling each other and we're all on the beach we're like hang on a minute you're there wait who's got a podcast about the season like it's me just me going ah it's a good show I don't know I haven't watched it I was on my phone we have kind of gone a bit off track for squid game so let's talk about some of the games I believe all of the games are going to be
26:44 In this reality TV version now in the actual squid game there are nine episodes and six games there a couple episodes where there aren't any Gamers it's very like character based episodes in my opinion episode 26 and 8 so for those who may not remember six is marbles and eight is the buildup to the finale and episode two is also like a very character-based episode because something I feel like the Korean show does is that they really explain the main character stories you perfectly understand why they have to be in the games right and I hope we get something very similar I hope that I mean I don't think it's going to happen cuz based on the titles for all the episodes it seems like there's going to be like a game every episode and most likely the episode in general will be centered around that game I think I think I'd love like a like a filler episode where we do just get to know the cast a little bit better because once it starts becoming a bit more really and I mean I've always been that type person I love okay so this might shock you V
28:04 But I love non-elimination episodes especially in the strange Survivor especially in the strange Survivor because I love the whole comeback story like with Nick adanza like in the first season Str Survivor like look at how massive like his story was in the first season right and then you had Tara as well and the whole tan versus Benji premerge season 3 I'm just talking about Kahuna how I love non-elimination episodes and I would love if maybe in this version of he's already laugh and I would love if maybe for this Netflix show if they were to have a couple he turn his camera off frustration okay I deal with miky and stupid you've got a bigger heart than I thought m you'd kill a man for $4 million but you also want to know their story I do well as an audience member I want to know this stories and so basically Kahuna I'm not sure if you remember all the squid game episodes but my favorite episodes are two six and eight were they the non-elimination ones so two and eight non- eliminations episode it's the marbles
29:24 One because those are very character heavy episodes yeah but people got eliminated true but it's but I feel like we got to know the contestants a lot more on those specific episodes and I think how they're going to do this Netflix squid game is that each episode is going to be centered around a game because there are 10 episodes and based on the titles we're getting it seems like there will be a game each and every episode so I assume the episode will be edited around yeah but I would I would love if there was like a non-elimination episode where we where we do get to understand more like you know different contestants Back stories why the they how the four million could potentially help them and whatnot and maybe even just some like strategy talk as well what's your thoughts on that yeah I mean we'll get that and we want that to be able to relate to the people and all that sort of thing but I think you can if there's only one game per episode as well like not doing a reward Challenge and an immunity and blah it's if they are building it around one game then I think there's enough room I think they've got the space to be able to have both that you can have all the human interaction you get to know our people you get to know the contestants
30:45 At the same time not having a non-elimination I should do what Chris always does non elimination episode there we go you can you're the host you're the host God this exactly what I was telling you be you know kahun is a 2 I then is Chris and then my God back in his rightful spot I put him back I'll be the only one doing this by the end of it not even watched the original show when's the squid come into it was that the start I saw that bit yeah but anyways Mr Kahuna all of the famous games from the Korean show are coming back and to this one you know quite famous we've got red light green light the Dogma you know like tug of all that sort of stuff is coming back how do you think that because obviously everyone on the show would have seen squid game do you think people will be able to potentially American survive it and be able to plan around the games to try
32:05 And win ah I mean there's not a lot of games you can kind of game that you can you can kind of strategize like it's going to come down to skill and luck and Strate like I don't know strategy is not like what game would there be a lot of where you can pre-plan and I've watched the season so I know what to do here I guess maybe the technique for the technique for the tuger war you know that's kind of a fluk been perfectly honest like how yeah we might be spoiling v a little bit for some of the games but I mean it's just the it's the games it's part of the show yeah I don't know like how do you pre-plan which glass Bridge well I well I think with certain games you can kind of plan around it for example with the Dogma the biscuit challenge there's nowhere you need to plant a lighter yeah you need to plan PL to sneaker lighter in but also no one's going for the umbrella shape but they don't know though do they yeah so in the in the Korean show everyone had to line up behind a shape and that's the cookie they got
33:25 Which if anyone l are behind the umbrella shape I mean what mad lad right like yeah you must have some extreme Bulls to do that but also like I guess with how the glassbridge worked V is that originally they had to choose in what order they had to go in by selting like a hi but I think everyone knows you'd want to be at the back right do you though well I guess it's very 50 because you want to be far back enough that you see the path but you don't want to be so far back that you potentially might not make the time limit true but by the way just out of curiosity so we've got squid game and much like you maky by the way I'm going to call you on this but much like you I also say squid games with multiple because but it's squid game and it weirds me out hung games yeah it's just squid game but I always say squid games and I can't get my head around that it's squid game but I forget where I was going to go with that again I just completely night for that holy crap lucky you're hosting this Mony oh yeah so
34:46 Squid game see we get the reality show have either of you seen the Mr Beast version I've seen clips of it are you familiar with Mr Beast v no I don't know anything okay he's a YouTuber right so I mean I don't know why I'm educating people on YouTubers when I'm in my 40s but I do have small children which is why but Mr Beast is the biggest YouTuber he's got over 100 million subscribers yeah and he shortly after squid game aired he did his own version of squid game which was cost $4 million to actually put together he originally was wanting to make it like a million dollar but the budget kept just kept going up because he made it so precise and tried to make it as close to the show as he could he didn't have 400 people I think oh maybe he did actually have 400 people but he had a massive show and ran it through and it was a huge event on YouTube it was like the biggest video of its time W and it's weird to think one YouTuber who I mean he has all the resources in the world maybe not as much as Netflix but decided to make it and then it takes a behemoth like Netflix to kind of compete with an individual YouTube dude and I'm interested to see how they
36:06 Stack up because Mr Beast did an amazing job like it looked really phenomenal really epic sort of set but I also watched just today a behind the scenes with the creator of squid game and he was he said that he was consulted and a lot like asked a lot of questions for the reality show for the for the challenge and he was on set doing behind the scenes and all that sort of thing saying they got blueprints for the beds like they got everything as spot on as perfect like they even walked into one of the challenge rooms it was the Creator director with one of the actors from the original show and he goes this is the exact same size as the as the room wasn't it yeah like they nailed it like to the cloud paintings on the wall to the mazik stairs and like they just kind of really nailed it so I'm so looking forward to seeing how you have an amazing TV show that really except for V I think she may be the only person on the planet that didn't watch it at the time that really captivated the world like everyone was talking about squid game for at least three months my kids my daughter's eight so when that came out she's I know seven or six when
37:26 Did it come out was two years ago years yeah 2021 so my daughter was six my son was three in a bit they did not watch it because as much as I am a bad parent there are some things that I realize like I get it like yeah you like drink the energy drink but don't watch squid [Laughter] game but yeah we didn't watch squid game with the kids it didn't stop them however from knowing and identifying and seeing exactly like on Roblox on their YouTube videos on whatever things that like this show infiltrated the entire planet except for VW World including my kids because my son is was three at the time and he sees people in a green tracksuit goes is that squid game dad like you know like he knows what it was without ever seeing a single episode because it was just so prevalent in culture well this is a really funny story but I got into squid game because of Roblox now so my three-year-old really so it's a really funny story because during this time I convinced a lot of the boys to do Roblox Survivor it was my way to manipulate them to
38:47 Watch season 41 and to also like play surviv games with me because during this time we were still in lockdown yeah right so a lot of them weren't working but I was cuz I work at a supermarket so my life stayed perfectly fine while everyone else is doing to but thank you for your service essential thank you thank you and something that I found was that the games were just a lot of fun to play I was like wow like I would actually love to see how they made this into a drama and then as I was watching I was like oh my gosh this is much darker than I could ever imagined it to be like and it just kept me intrigued the whole way through I've got blocked tear duck so basically it's very hard for me to cry I only cry manly man monkey I'm a manly man with an eye problem but called testosterone blocking the Ducks but I he doesn't cry I remember that there was I think there was like three times in the show where i' would be on my way to work and I was just bored ping my eyes out not because they my tear ducts eventually unblocked but because of how great of a job the show did and making you really care for some people like even
40:07 Some of like the background characters like in that marbles episode Kahuna we get introduced to just a random like husband and wife and only one of them like walks out right and it's like that's actually like really dark and really sad spoiler oh well sorry I mean that's going to come up I'm like hey he's a spoiler only one person wins he's a spoiler it's been out for like two and a half years so it should be spoiled by now but yeah I feel like the show does a really good job and making you really care and feel a lot of stuff for all the characters even some of like the pink soldiers as well and but mind the issue is though is that I wonder how they're going to do it this relative TV show are they going to build enough story for us to really emotionally care about the characters so then if they do get eliminated we actually feel something for them or it's like million dollar Island it's like oh we no idea who they were anyways I mean yeah I don't know I you can't as much as we care about the characters in reality TV shows competition shows we love our people and we hate some people and blah and you do sort of connect to
41:27 Them I don't think the reality competition show can draw as strong a reaction as scripted drama which is true crafted specifically to manipulate a response right to once you get to that and the edit does that as well but they're working with a material that is a little bit more difficult to get that manipulation or that or that emotional you know arc when it's real people in real life that might not fully you know go down the path of getting you to cry and boil your eyes out Mony so I don't know like maybe your tea ducts will stay blocked we'll see I think the issue is with reality TV the stakes just aren't as high as dying well yeah yes and scripted shows the stakes are carefully curated to elicit that response which they just can't replicate unless someone could die or is like about to be destitute and murdered you know you just you can't So you're not going to care as much having said that I've still cared about plenty of eliminations in reality shows I may not have cried but I've cared I'm wondering
42:47 As big as a behemoth as Netflix is with all the money in the world I wonder if they actually do kill them that would be great I mean I mean obviously it won't but I feel like there'll be such I mean like you cre so funny because I had applied for the show and I was talking to my sister Angela at the time and I was like oh I've applied for squid game I can't wait to rock up and kill and kill someone and you know obviously it's a joke but she took it very seriously like mcky what the hell are you doing app playing the squid game going to kill you we're going to kill you like have you seen how you walk you trip over on flat services like how you going to survive red light green light and yeah and I feel like there's a lot of confusion around the internet where I mean even at the time with the Korean Square game came out some people questioned if it was real or not yeah I mean I mean that was pretty dumb if you actually believe that but I feel like saying with this was like obviously they're not going to kill anyone but I did see an article though it came out a few months ago where a couple contestants were very
44:07 Angry because they went on to the show they obviously you know got eliminated at some point way through the show but apparently they treat you and feed you very similar to how the contestants were treated and fed on the Korean drama so a lot of isolation really food like really crappy food and whatnot but I think a lot of contestants went on there expecting it to be like oh it's going to be just a fun happy experience and we're just going to we're just going to do the games and that's really it like just a classic 9 to-5 and we're done but like Mr Beast yeah like Mr Beast version yeah I did hear early on this year when they when it was filming there was a lot of reports that it was kind of going south there was like ambulances called to set there was injuries there was all sorts of things since then there's been reports that come out says that was exaggerated I think maybe people were kind of trying to blow up this the squid game aspect of it that it is kind of a dangerous thing but apparently there were some ambulances called to set but it was for Fairly mundane injuries you know that you would sustain in a in a game show like that and that there was actually British UK or some country I not sure did a actual
45:27 Inquiry into the show to make sure that they weren't mistreated cuz it was filmed in the UK yeah so it was the it was the English they actually looked into the show and there was nothing going wrong there's nothing to actually find out so when it first started I was like holy crap this show is like treating people like garbage it's there's going to be like people dying for real I was like this is crazy and then it kind of died down and turns out it was kind of a bit in the first place but I mean the fact that came out and like and you're saying that they're treated not the best like this the bed the room the bedroom is exactly the same as the show and they're staying in there for 15 days right like there's no getting away I mean we're used to that with Survivor and shows like that big brother all that sort of thing but it is pretty full on with 456 of them all shoved into one room I mean that's a lot of Bo that's a lot of snoring that's a lot of farts that's a lot of people shoved into one room in very close proximity and I'm wondering if maybe some of the discomfort and people not enjoying the situation was maybe due to some something like that you know what I mean not just the games but the overall environment situation would be super stressful well
46:48 We do see a small a small bit of this in the Korean show but some people do feel really comfortable and we both know someone really wel Kahuna who's also very comfortable with a large portion of people to the point where they're even more than happy to allegedly hook up with them you know with Mad Dog def Vault do we think that someone will potentially get very lucky during the course of the squid game I mean it's 15 days it's 456 people law of averages and odds say there's going to be at least a couple hook ups we're going to hear that the brown chicken brown cow for sure do we think that's similar to what's it the podcast channel it's not screen R who are they the one that is a screen the one that came out with all the drama about mil oh yeah I forget now I forget well I know you're talking about yeah didn't they say that the producers were hooking up with the contestants as well during the show I don't think that'll happen I don't think that'll happen here I don't know I mean it could happen like hey the cultural gonna be really fascinating as well though it will be like as far
48:08 As hookups and stuff is that gonna be like you know I don't I don't know it's GNA be really I'm just sort of taking back my V face at the idea of fornication on this is going to turn into love Island but it's going to be like love small room with 4 156 people I mean that sounds like Mony Saturday [Laughter] night oh gosh but anyways we'll quickly move along you know I will not confirm or deny Kahuna's comment but Mr Kahuna obviously squid game and all the games are based off like games that you know the Koreans played when they were kids what is one game that you played as a kid that you think would make a great adaptation to realtive well to squid game in general you mean like Super Mario Brothers no what games did I see I'm significantly older than you Mony so my time in Primary School was probably a little bit different to
49:28 Yours I don't know like I'm not what did we just played like bull rush and played soccer and basketball and stuff like that I guess when I was even younger there was Hopscotch and you know skipping and elastics the thing did you do elastics maky is that a New Zealand New Zealand on get it yeah you in school yeah maybe elastics or what the you know the string one where you would make shapes out of oh yeah of string I don't know we did that yo-yos was a phase in the 80s marbles was a big phase in the 80s for me so may can you imag like a yo-yo but if the yo-yo like if ever like you know comes too close to you like to your face it just blows up God yeah there you go I was thinking was in my head I'm like I know where he's going it's some sort of spinning razor blade but I like the explosion I like the I like the blow up much better how about you V is it any game that you played as a kid that would make adaptation we played this bizarre game that I didn't it didn't have a point to it but you could easily have someone die in it's
50:48 It we called it plug where you know the covered they don't have them as much anymore the covered slippery de someone would go down backwards and they'd be the plug and they'd hold on and you'd have to go the next person would go down feet first and hit their feet and then the next person would be their back and hit their back and eventually the P the plug would get propelled out just by the sheer force of Catholic school girls ramming themselves down this slippery dip someone could bear it I'm sure people were killed in the day but that could definitely be some sort of death game I don't know what the point was it I and I was always terrified to be the plug and I never signed up for it because there was a metal section of the plastic slippery dip that would give you a shock every time so it was really hard to get your to go backwards and get your hands to hold on without touching the metal and getting like a zap and I was terrified I was terrified the entire time actually and I was too scared to go down backwards and being in Australia I'm sure like that metal slide under our sun would have just it was it was the worst of Both Worlds because you had the plastic slide
52:08 Which was full of static energy it was like it could have lit something on fire how much static energy was in there and then these metal components that were yeah about 350° C plus would give you a static electricity shock so it was terrifying and I don't know why we played it I got the perfect game for squ gam especially a global competition you got Africans you got Asians you got all that sort of thing in there what I grew up playing a lot is driveway cricket and you can do one-handed catch off the roof hitting the bush is out the FI any tree is a filter you know if you hit a window the game's over you know that sort of thing so I'm sure that could work yeah definitely I'm trying to think what is a game that's very stereotypical kiwi that could definitely be in a squid game and I feel like the only one I can think of is so we play bull rush as a kid Kahuna was it just like a tag or was it full on like a tackle no just tag pretty much oh so in New Zealand because you know rugby is like right number one thing right we never tagged we fall on tackled like it wouldn't be like a light tackle like light drag to the ground it
53:28 Would be you grab the person by the legs you lift them up and dump them on the ground so gentle yeah very gentle and yeah maybe you could do that with well I mean because it def does seem like that there's some kind of Team Battle I believe if I just go back up and look well yeah there's a battleship it's actual Battleship yeah it's Battleship it's literally battleship like giant BH yeah so that's fascinating because they're doing a western board game in it like that's really interesting I wonder if we will get because there's new games Battleship being one of them and I think is that the only one they showed that's one of the new games I believe so yeah I'm really interested to see because so much of the game of squid games was squid game and the games they played in Squid game was based on yeah like you said South like that was what they grew up playing and then we get to see obviously the American influence we get a western game in Battleship I wonder if we will get games from other parts of the globe like that would be fascinating hey because we do see as well in the main trailer for the show that there is a Twist where two players I think has to be eliminated right then and there and they have to
54:49 Choose who those players are wow but I'm not sure if there Time by like say UNAM Vote or if like everyone just like votes who they want out in highest number of votes and second highest number of V they get eliminated or for this like has to be a unanimous decision how do you think that would work K it can't be unanimous there's 400 something people there how do you get everyone to pick the same dude they're like hey we're voting for Jerry like who's Jerry if it's not me that's fine I vote for Terry so and then someone comes yeah I'm voting for Terry H not unanimous now Terry got a vote as well yeah I think I think it would just be majority like whoever gets the highest number of votes would make sense like a unanimous vote would be yeah like has that ever happened in inity TV show history unanimous there was that twist in one of my favorite Survivor seasons of all time stram Survivor 2017 where two players had pretty much like and the tribe had to unanimously agree that two players had to leave a to go to Sumerel they chose Henry and
56:11 Ben I think yeah to go but the whole tribe had to basically agree that those two should be the place to go but it's 10 people versus yeah true it's 10 people 10 people yeah what was going to say oh one of the games I guess this kind of a spoiler for the but it's I mean it's been announced that it was a game like on the Korean show it's been labeled as a game but it's also kind of not a game but it's called lights out where it was the sequence with the flashing lights and everyone started to kill each other and everyone started like pushing the beds forward so no one could stay and hide do you think we could get an similar to that Kahuna oh well they just kill each other I mean hopefully right yeah or like some know because yeah what kind of game would that be where they're just strobing and you do stuff in the dark I don't know yeah because I feel like that I feel like I feel like that's too brought with danger not just like you get 456 people from all different cultures all around the world and you turn the lights off someone's getting freaking groped and sexually
57:31 Abused or something you know what I mean like true yeah it's and I don't know if that makes a good visual for a reality TV show yeah true you need to see what's going on and know what's happening unless like in the scripted show it's that I don't know what's going on and it's scary and there's obviously something shocking and horrible going on that I cannot see and that adds to the emotion of it I don't know if that translates to a reality show though you they want to have the brightest freaking lights possible showing every single facial reaction every single you know like so I don't know if they would want to and part of the reason why they did it that way in the show is similar to like one of my favorite movies is Kill Bill there's so much blood in it that they made a section of the show black and the movie black and white so you cannot see the color of the blood and all that sort of thing because it's just too violent wouldn't have passed any of the ratings Etc I feel like in Squid game they did the black the dark the blackout thing the lights out thing in order to not visually see the horrors that were happening which is always scary when you when that's also a Trope
58:51 That goes around the place it when it's left up to the viewers imagine it's worse it's usually worse than what they could they could show within the ratings that they want to get so yeah I don't know how you'd replicate that for funsies I don't know how well you know we talk about you potentially hiding how much brother is actually shown for like you just for the viewers ratings but quite famously one of New Zealand's most famous directors Peter Jackson right before he made you know like the Lord of the Rings trilogy you know Peter Jackson's King Kong and got quite famous he made a lot of indie films and I stud one of bra dead are you talking about brain dead it might be brain dead or might be another one it's another zombie one but basically there is a scene where there's a lot of zombies like in this house in this mansion and the sky goes around with a lawn mower lawn mower it's brain dead yeah it's brain dead yeah I just stud it and I believe it might be more but I believe it's somewhere around 18 full gallons of blood yes was used in that one scene just that one singular scene yeah he wields a lawn mower
1:00:14 Yeah great movie the fact that Peter Jackson went from that to Lord of the Rings is the biggest like glow in entertainment history I think man straight up straight up but I was goingon to say yeah so it does oh we do have an episode title called War which I mean that might be the battleship one trick or treat there might be like a Halloween type CH which could be quite exciting but I feel like majority of the games are going to be potentially based off something that we may have may have seen before I Reon but maybe they just slightly changed if Battleship by the way I just realized I totally tweaked and he saw me grab my phone there you're right it's not brain dead it was bad taste it was bad taste bad taste yeah bad taste okay great movie highly recommend checking it out my directing shooter is an extra in that film he's at the graveyard scene Kahuna right yeah R Rand gets eaten alive it's great it's like the best like five seconds of footage you'll ever
1:01:35 See it's a it's a really good degrade horror gory bloodfest kind of thing it's fun yeah it's fantastic I guess Kahuna something that we got to see with the squid game show is a lot of where some players towards the end game I guess some similar to million dollar Island when you think about with mad Jordy where we had some players towards the end really come out on top strategically and sort of be that dominant Force towards the end of the game do we think that I won't say any characters names so then V doesn't get spoiled but I'm pretty sure you know exactly who I'm talking about K do you think we could get a character like that I honestly don't know what you're talking about oh hang on I'll send you hey V go like this it doesn't work I've got headphones in let me let me quickly find youres you louder you get the spoiler really clearly you hold it up to the screen and I'll shut my eyes all right I don't hon with you I don't want but a lot of the names really aren't going to sync in with me all the Korean names sound the same to me okay right the close your eyes
1:02:55 All right I'm going to screen share my screen so then this is fascinating to watch all right all right I'll I'll let you know when you can open your eyes again V boom it's a it's this character here oh right yeah okay yeah all right okay I've stopped I've stopped sharing my screen spoiler it's been two and a half years buta do you think we could get a contestant like that someone who really puts strategy above you know personal relationships you know above everything else just to reach the end and potentially win do you think we could get someone like that I certainly hope so and yeah I think you would because again 156 people you're just increasing your chances of getting these type of players you're increasing your chances of getting every type of player right so across the board you're just giving yourself more chances and more draws to be able to find a really good character you're also giving yourself more chances to get bad characters that aren't worth screen time but at least you're giving yourself more opportunities when you have a cast that massive so I'm
1:04:16 Assuming with that many people that many people applying and again like we know how many people will apply for a season of Survivor you know see whatever show it is imagine a global sensation like squid game that really did take over the planet as much as we see we in the reality TV world where Survivor is the big dog and we know people will love Survivor apply for Survivor it's still very isolated like we're in Australia New Zealand we'll still watch the US version and people from around the world will watch it but nothing compared to who would have applied and how many people would have applied for a show like squid game Netflix Global it's got subtitles it's got dubbing it's got everything and people all around the like we watched it when it's a Korean show we're talking about a Korean show and we loved it right so everyone around the world love this show that means everyone around is going to apply for this show I'm hoping that if you have that many people some of them are going to be good strategic players because you're not only getting the people that love the TV show you're getting the people that love reality show you getting people you know you're kind of getting the whole gamut and I think part of that gamut will be some very strategic and good players I
1:05:36 Hope well something that I've definitely seen throughout my time of covering all the trader seasons is that J they did this with Traders New Zealand they did this with Traders Canada probably most famously where they had some like half a cast was basically reality TV stars you had your big brother winners like Kevin have you seen Big Brother kada K oh so basically had a couple like you Big Brother winners you know reality you know like drag queen and Erica you know surviv win was on it and Traders New Zealand we had pretty much famous people across all professions like poker players for example there was a sidekick but I mean the sidekick was kind of a mean must be real but and even people yeah and even in Traders Australia you know you had people like Luke for example who was on it you know you had like actors and whatnot on the on the show as well so do you think when it's you know the first season of real T is squid game because who knows maybe they might do another one depending on how it goes do you think you put in famous well known famous because you could look at it like
1:06:56 Well we put someone like georan for example right George could somehow bring an element of strategy to this that we may never even think of right so yeah so even though George could get knocked out early he might bring in you know strategy like just to really intensify the show a bit if they do put famous people in there I don't think it'll be anyone that we would know no like I think there may be someone that could come from some European country that is famous in mova and no one around the world as they are so I think like there could be people there that are famous in their bubble outside of that I think the most we would get as far as the fame scale goes would be maybe like influences and stuff yeah like people they'd want to be able to promote on their social medias and all that sort ort of thing they may have taken a coup when you've got 456 places you're going to grab a few of them that might actually help promote the show as well but I feel and I basing this on nothing I feel like generally they might want to keep the average Joe kind of feel to it because that's what the scripted show was it was people down on their luck I don't think it'll be that whole you know I'm desperate
1:08:16 For money to the point where I would die or their life is so bad that they'll take that risk I don't think it's that I hope they're not like freaking poverty trolling like getting desperate people you know that sort of thing I really hope it's not that but yeah I think you have that sort of potential there for sure yeah so do you think that if like the show reality TV squ game does really well do you think that they could potentially make another squid game like a season two of The like a season two yeah oh the real the real show got a SE yeah so the script show is getting a season two next year but the reality the reality TV show do we think that as a reality TV show it could potentially produce a second or a third season and maybe even an all stars or something at some point down the road that could happen with Netflix the sky the limit and you know I don't want to disparage Netflix but the streamers aren't really well known for treating their writers terribly well at the moment so it's a non-written a non-scripted show the sky's the limit you know
1:09:37 Just keep churning them out as long as they're getting thousands upon thousands of people applying so you can get 456 good ones why not it's once they've got that set they're done right that's it you know yeah I think could poti people Pitt or nothing yeah pretty much yeah like yeah the appearance would fee would be nothing it'd be yeah they just have and 4 million for Netflix as prize money is probably change they found in the sofa yeah probably well depending for how long right like Netflix is kind of not like they're still a behemoth they're one of the biggest companies in the world but all reports say that the other ones are catching and that eventually some of these streamers are going to have to condense like we've seen in the last couple years Netflix has started canceling shows which before they would never even dream of canceling any show they would just run them into the ground because they needed the content but they're now being a little bit more picky I guess so I think it could be like squid Games took over yeah absolutely squid game took over the world I'm curious about the timing of it because it's too far from the last one and it's also before
1:10:57 The next season so is like is squid game on people's Consciousness and mind right now that they would all tune in and binge it as soon as it drops because the weird thing is and I think this is one of the funny things about a lot of the real actually all the reality shows that we do on TNT are network shows so when we have network shows we get trailers we get cast by we get preview stuff we get all this information but when it's Netflix and they're like we're just going to dump it on the on the channel we've made two trailers and that's all you know nothing else about this show until it dumps and then you can watch it or not but they're not really doing the buildup and the hype and getting people excited because it's next week like it's very soon and we're still not seeing too much about it when two years ago you couldn't go anywhere without hearing about squid game it was literally everywhere and I'm wondering if they waited too long from the first one or maybe they should have waited till the second season or have them closer together I'm not sure but I am curious about how squid because we live in a world where people forget very quickly and is the reality version of what was an amazing scripted show
1:12:17 Enough to get people back in the same volume or the same number as the scripted show had I don't know like obviously it's not going to be the same because there's a lot of people that are automatically predispositioned to not like reality shows right they'll watch a scripted show because it's higher class or what I don't know it's more high brow reality show is seen as kind of at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to TV shows so it may it won't have the automatic inbuilt audience but I'm hoping that there's enough to keep it going because I do think it looks pretty epic and I'm excited to see what it is yeah I think you know you talk about timing and that's such an interesting thing because I'll admit squid game was the number one show like when it first came out I think was end of September start of October well I saw it in October and it was like that allthough through the start of 2022 I would even argue like February or March was still like number one on our Netflix and New Zealand dur that time I think maybe if they' done the show a bit sooner maybe end of 2022 or something people might have been a bit squid game da right it's like you know we've seen we've seen all the Tik Tok reals we've seen all the fan edits of you know Al Queen so because this real she's amazing and
1:13:38 Yeah and of all the characters you know we've heard all the different like deep Dives and like you know theories about the show like I just got to keep pumping like just keep like force feeding us squid game content so I think it might be good that yeah that's what they should do right if you have the momentum just freaking run it into the ground sh it out until people are sick of it right I think season two are you gonna play again are you gonna play again Mony season two oh I will I will and I was telling the one of my favorite games of all time Kahuna is crab game have you heard of crab game I believe I have but now I'm yeah I know the name yeah it's a piss version of squid game okay basically I think I know the name because you've told me yeah it is one of it's but I willit do not let your kids play it because it is open mic so you can say whatever you want to strangers online you know there's no like you know swing liit or anything like that like it's quite funny because there is like a chat but the creator of the game he made a game called MK right which obviously my name is mcky it's not about me or anything it's just a random like Minecraft piss take but every time you're you know typing a swear word or like you know curse word
1:14:58 Or something into the like the typing chat it would just replace it with mck so like a lot of times I just keep seeing just mck m mck and I think they're like trying to say something to me but now it's just them just typing like bunch of curse words that's so mad but something I love doing that game which I was telling the you know and all the boys say love me and hate me for this but I just got on a massive killing Rampage like there's a game called Death from Above which is there's like massive blocks falling from above you but only small spaces that you can fit into to kind of avoid the blocks what I would do is that I would see some let's say you can it right let's say I identify you as a threat to potentially kill me or win this round or game right I would just start punching and pushing you out of that small space so right so and the more you try to come in the more keep pushing you further and further away so then when the blocks drop you die right there's even a game mode called tag which probably one of my personal favorites where you have the tagers have the stick but it's got extreme knockback on it so you can send someone flying out of the map and they'll just automatically die just like that yeah we'll see that in the real
1:16:18 One V would you go on game no it looks scary I'm going for season two you know what I'm do yeah I'm going to play as one of the billionaires that bets on them yes are you GNA place any money bits on me with a mask and just watch them if you saw me and the you know the pull of squid gam contestants would you beit your millions of dollars on me to win the whole thing yeah to win the whole thing how about to go really far I think you go Farish because you're 6'4 or something like there are a lot of people in the world that you will physically dominate so you could certainly go far enough you're not winning mate like I don't know like I don't have to go far back but you told in this episode that you know falling down and things like you may be a little bit unko for some of the stuff that happens in a squid game but you know you could easily do a tug OFW Battleship there's no you know there's no advantages there and I don't
1:17:38 Know I you seem to definitely be Keen for that sort of thing I just don't know how I've not seen your physical prowers your athletic ability AR like I've been thinking about this for a while like it would obviously depend how far apart the glass tiles are bar something I can do so I would be at the front but I'll sort of just lie down on it and see if I can put as much weight on it as possible to see if it will hold someone's weight or not and just if I was on that to be honest with you I'd probably walk on the safe one and still break it knowing me I would like walk on it but then slip off oh sh trip over yeah that was a freebie the only good one I'd be the only one I'd be good at is TG War just plant myself lean back I'm taking up I'm taking up at least four Koreans with just my way load I'm not sure if there is a game that's tailored to me because I'm quite clumsy I've got giant hands like look at my hand so I can't
1:18:58 Do the biscuit one with a needle like even just cutting paper or trying to peel stickers off I struggle with because my hands are too big M maky would absolutely excel at the light game right lights out oh CU I just man oh my gosh yeah no but is there anything else that either of you would like to bring up about this Ry TV scri game any like predictions or theories or hopes I hope it's good I hope it's as good as the trailer trer the trailer looks great and you said in episode one they've just arrived so you haven't seen any of the sets yet have you the bedroom if that's what bedroom okay yeah some of the games like I like I said it before but they and what I've seen in pop culture around like I've seen like the classic scenes everywhere you know well yeah the big do I haven't been living under a rock so the red light green light yeah like I'm so excited to see the transition how they can make again a very dark
1:20:18 Serious scripted show into what would prob I'm assuming like I don't think there's a lot of reality competition shows that they want to go down the dark like oh that was really heavy that show man I don't like where it takes a toll on you emotionally I don't know if that's part of the reality TV show you know motto there you know what I mean like so I think they want to keep it a little bit more light-hearted and does that mean it's not going to be quite as good I don't know they're really just going off of the games right like it's a game show squid game as much as the games were a big part of it because you know it's literally squid game and that was the goal and they win the money and all that and the sets and the made it look epic but like I said before the original squid game the end game was a little bit hard to translate to visually on TV and St like if you grew up playing with it's probably playing it's very different so I am interested to see how they kind of keep it squid game while not being a dark dystopian future thing like how do they make it still squid game but keep it fun and lighthearted that people actually enjoy and watch because some of those games when you're not falling to your death which makes it scary
1:21:39 Kind of have a bit of a it's a knockout Wipeout feel to it yeah you know what I mean like it could kind of go the other way and be a bit too clownish like it's red light green light right like we're talking red light green light that's not a game like a game you play in the playground that's not a reality TV show Epic type of thing but when it means that you get shot by a giant robot it makes it a much more visually appealing thing on a TV show you know what I mean so I am really fascinated to see the compare and contrast what do they do with something that is a very cool concept but has dark undertones and the reason for it's dark and all that sort of thing and they want to make it a familyfriendly fun show is that going to take away from it or is it going to keep the essence of what made it cool yeah I my biggest hope is that because obviously six out of the 10 episodes are going to be the challenges we've seen or doing the Korean drama I just hope that the other four challenges are sort of what you mentioned ear Kahuna are like childhood based games but from different parts of the world so maybe there's a childhood based game like in Asia and Europe America Russia or even like Australia New Zealand because I've
1:23:00 I think there a big part of what Drew people in it's like here's like a cool game that's very similar something we've all played as kids but if you stuff up you die bam you die right yeah and obviously the characters in the show are fantastic as so I love every single one of them the actors did a phenomenal job with them just adds to it but see sorry that's what I was trying to say before and I forgot my point is that is the show going to be because so much of the original squid game as much as was based on games what made it so appealing so great was the drama right was the acting was the story was the Back stories all that sort of thing so when it's when you do it as a reality show and the primary focus becomes not necessarily the characters and the story because there's no drama to it but it becomes the actual games itself yeah will that keep us as intrigued because we've got a thousand shows where they play games so what's gonna what's going to make it different is what I'm really fascinated to see I'm not saying that it won't I'm not cting any judgments pre I'm open to see what it does but I'm interested to see how they walk that balance yeah absolutely
1:24:20 How about you any thoughts or hopes yeah well I think the risk is that it's the gimmick of the sets and that's the only substance to it is the fact that it looks you know and it's the same games but the trailer looked dope as hell like that looked so good so if it lives up to that trailer it's going to be a fantastic show yeah no so I think if it even lives up to anywhere close to what the scripted drama was it might even potentially one of the best reality shows out there you know you've got 456 people from all around the world different personalities you know different mindsets and thoughts hopefully we get some really great drama and some squid action who some Inky squid action I would I would love if someone went on there and it's like so when's the octopus game I don't know what I signed up for was like me with the show I was like squid game sure yeah I'll watch that I don't know and then I realized it's not in English bro it can be I can't looked at my phone while watching
1:25:40 It Ah that's one of the worst things about our modern like I'm the same I'm like I got to pay attention to this and not I'm like I've been eating so much food in that first 37 minutes cuz I have to do something with my hands while watching the show I was just chips so takes up KN Diabetes by the end jumper oh my gosh see what the state I'm in next week yes unfortunately sugared out I'll be sugared out too with this lovely beautiful chocolate milk you know we're talking about the other podcast V about different chocolate milks poho valys are my number ones and I haven't seen that in Australia sorry what it's poohy Valley poohy so they made a brand of chocolate milk and put the word poo in it well I mean a w earlier this year there was like the pulsating dot is funny though it's funny just like oh God it actually worked well as a punch line after the PO line is
1:27:01 It earlier this year there was four one and a half liter bottles that were going to expire like that day or by the next morning and all my friends joked like oh Michael you like you should drink it but you know I kind of have to at that point if everyone's like you going to tell me I should so I bought all four them they look like $1 each and I drank I believe it was like four and a half to five liters that's easy of chocolate milk straight how did you not shoot your pants well that's the thing I've discovered a new best friend in my life and his name is the plunger and oh my the excessive D product said bye-bye to me at the second I turned 30 I thought he was going to say emoi [Laughter] anyways that brings us to the end of the show tonight if you're new to the Channel please hit the Subscribe button and leave us a comment on what you are expecting to see with reality tqu that's how we gonna go out monkey on the diarrhea jokes end of the show monkey tag all right like we're me to go out on the weirdest way possible Right careful of
