[0.00 --> 12.00] We are live! Hooray! Welcome to the show! We both have new attire today, as you may or may not have noticed. Luke has...
[12.00 --> 19.00] My wonderful dolphin Christmas sweater. That thing that he's wearing. The best dolphin Christmas sweater ever.
[19.00 --> 25.00] And I have what I think is probably gonna be our most popular t-shirt design ever.
[25.00 --> 32.00] Good reason. Well, I kind of do too. Both rocking the Keep On Diggin' shirts.
[32.00 --> 36.00] And then, truthfully, I actually have a horrible Christmas sweater too.
[36.00 --> 45.00] So it's getting to be that time of year. And here we go. Oh yeah! Shark Christmas.
[45.00 --> 47.00] So Shark Christmas and Dolphin Christmas.
[47.00 --> 53.00] So I think obviously the first thing we're gonna talk about on the show today is Sharks vs Dolphins.
[53.00 --> 55.00] Who is superior?
[55.00 --> 62.00] Well, I think sharks would be more superior in like a physical, aggressive kind of manner.
[62.00 --> 67.00] And then Dolphins are more superior in like the logic and apparently sex kind of manner.
[67.00 --> 69.00] Better at sex.
[69.00 --> 72.00] Well, aren't they the only other mammal that has sex for fun?
[72.00 --> 76.00] I think this is the... No, I think it's pigs actually. I think this is the fastest...
[76.00 --> 81.00] No, pigs have half an hour fun times. But I don't think they actually do it for like recreation.
[81.00 --> 88.00] Now we're gonna have to consult the Twitch chat because if there's anything I would expect the Twitch chat to be an expert on...
[88.00 --> 92.00] It would be... It would be animal sex.
[92.00 --> 95.00] Oh no. Oh man.
[95.00 --> 101.00] Someone just said dolphins can kill sharks. Maybe. But like, no one's like, oh no, there's a dolphin!
[101.00 --> 109.00] This is true. I was actually hoping you didn't know that. Dolphins can be a big problem if they get aggressive because they're super powerful.
[109.00 --> 113.00] Well that's why whenever you go like swimming with dolphins you only swim with the female dolphins.
[113.00 --> 114.00] Yes.
[114.00 --> 116.00] You don't swim with the male dolphins because they'll wreck you.
[116.00 --> 122.00] Okay, we've got a lot of people saying that they're right. Luke's right. Dolphins have sex for pleasure.
[122.00 --> 132.00] Apparently... Okay. I don't know if Twitch chat knows as much as they think they know. Dolphins kill more people a year than sharks and rape them.
[132.00 --> 139.00] Um, I'm thinking that's not actually what happens. It's possible they kill people. It's the second part that I'm a little uncertain about.
[139.00 --> 144.00] There's, there's, there's... Yeah, I'm not gonna get into it. But there's, there's some stuff for that second one.
[144.00 --> 147.00] Yeah, I'm sure there's, I'm sure there's an incident.
[147.00 --> 149.00] But, um...
[149.00 --> 156.00] Anyways, moving on. We have some pretty cool topics this week that don't have to do with sharks or dolphins, actually. Like, not at all.
[156.00 --> 158.00] Yay, dolphins. Christmas shark, Christmas dolphin.
[158.00 --> 164.00] Um, so some CSGO vac pros. Uh, CSGO pros got vac banned. There we go. I can talk.
[164.00 --> 165.00] Got vac banned!
[165.00 --> 166.00] I got vac pros!
[166.00 --> 167.00] Vac proed!
[167.00 --> 169.00] What? Um, anyways, we'll talk about that more later.
[169.00 --> 171.00] CSGO pro!
[171.00 --> 175.00] CSGO pro and it's like a little dude with a deagle, but it's actually just a GoPro.
[175.00 --> 181.00] And now that we've started this, it's only a matter of time until some, like, counter-terrorist agent starts...
[181.00 --> 183.00] Is that, is that me? Hey, hey, turn off.
[183.00 --> 184.00] Look at this new...
[184.00 --> 189.00] It's only a matter of time until some, like, counter-terrorism agent starts wearing a GoPro on all his ops.
[189.00 --> 191.00] CSGO pro.
[191.00 --> 194.00] Just becomes a YouTube sensation immediately.
[194.00 --> 204.00] Anyways, also, BitTorrent is introducing some possible, if you want them to be there, pay gates, which pay a lot more to the contributing artist than most other services.
[204.00 --> 211.00] Dell's 5K monitor is rumored to be coming in at a much lower price than we had originally anticipated.
[211.00 --> 217.00] I'm guessing they got somewhat surprised by Apple's pricing of the iMac Retina 5K.
[217.00 --> 226.00] And then Origin PC, it looks like, I'm assuming, I actually don't know if it's going to be a limited time offer, but it sounds like it.
[226.00 --> 235.00] For their fifth anniversary, they are going to be selling their cases, both the mid-tower and the full tower, stand alone.
[235.00 --> 247.00] So you don't actually have to buy an Origin PC in order to get that pretty fantastic Genesis and Millennium case that allows your motherboard to be oriented five different ways.
[247.00 --> 248.00] Four different ways.
[248.00 --> 251.00] There is no additional dimension that the case creates.
[251.00 --> 253.00] It goes, like, flat.
[253.00 --> 257.00] You don't have the side panel and it just comes flat.
[257.00 --> 258.00] You just take both side panels off.
[258.00 --> 261.00] So it's like, kind of a test bench, but not really.
