Brady is rigging the Dinosaurs Attack market. He's inflating the price at the same time by destroying unopened packs and potentially launching the remaining packs into orbit. He is the greatest economic mind of our time.

It actually made me sad that the cards didn’t appear in this episode

[Generalth]

And so it ends. After two years of listening, I have finally gone through every episode. I am caught up.
Thank you for everything.

It’s not live guys, it’s just being broadcast on YouTube as a live watch
Edit: I’m no criticizing, I love Grey and through this podcast have come to love Brady, just pointing out to others that it’s not being recorded live. It’s a new YouTube ‘feature’ I hope the duo talk about x

I had a totally irrational state of disappointment yesterday when I saw the episode was mid-premiere, despite not being inconvenienced in any way by it.
The only thing I can definitely say irks me, is the branding 'Premiere' - Grey nailed it, they want to be TV. But TV has no respect for my schedule. "If you want to watch X, then you better be here at Y o'clock, buddy!"
Again, this is obviously not analogous, and we are freely able to watch this whenever we like. It's just the branding Youtube is going for seems to be counter to the exact reason I watch Youtube a lot more than broadcast TV

[RoundHouseDictator]

My experience of premiers is my feed getting populated by videos I can't watch. Incidentally, I go to youtube to see videos that I can watch.

[OceanBagel]

Here's a solution to the live chat problem: have multiple chat rooms. If you get a number of concurrent users in the chat above a certain threshold, start putting new users into a new chat room. You can keep repeating this as more and more people join, and you can merge chat rooms as people leave. I think that would be way better than deleting people's comments at random.

[Ps-s]

I feel like we have hit some sort of grey point in greys statistics to deserve so many episodes

[Chris-pnqh]

I love how you talks about that new degree. I read the article and found it really interesting. I think we need more well rounded people who are also very good at a specific subject. That's what would make them very employable. When I was reading the article, the aim seemed to be a lot more about what businesses want and not necessarily very high skilled domains.

[DistanceTraveled]

You could almost do the meme with 2 Spiderman costumes. You just need a 3rd and then point finger guns at each other. Best part is that there would be no face spoilers for Grey.

[starscarrednyx]

I liked the creator could toss comments, like special interacted moments, and they can take the temperature later for reactions. But those watching in real time get that extra interaction from the creator about that creation. Lots love that aspect.

15:00 if you rip it open it will have a red bar in the cardstock

About chat box issue, I remembered someone working on it & i thought it is unique idea.


it's a "Brute Mind" chat box.
1) Brady asked the audiences "can you hear me?"
2) let's say 65% yes, 30% no & 5% asking for plane crash corner within 30secs (example)
3) Among the comments, the filter found "yes", "I", "can" dominate the most.
4) Select 1 comment that contain least words & obviously words of "yes", "I", "can"
5) On the "Brute Mind" chat box, after 30secs Brady asked the question, 1 comment appears -> "Yes I can."


*) Of course, after the 1st comment is selected, the 65% comments will be deleted & next largest group will be selected. Rinse & repeat until may be CGPgrey decided <10% is not worth the time & plane crash corner fans will be ignored and left withered in the internet void.

And the obvious problem with this filter is the software never understand the context. if you write "Yes I can, but the voice is too weak", your comment will be treated as "Yes I can."

I'll be sure to cross off Dinosaurs Attack! on Media Inexplicably Compared to The Wire on Grey Podcasts Bingo.

Something Grey didn't mention with his random comment allowance as a method of rate limiting is that it makes the quality of the conversation much worse; people can no longer be guaranteed a chance to use their message to respond to somebody else, or for a reply to their reply. Questions wouldn't work, and people wouldn't be able to help each other.


One of the best things about these chats is that the quick eyed people can and will reply to people who ask questions; but there wouldn't be as much incentive to do so when your message might simply get devoured by the RNG.

I get irritated when I see the premier filling up space in my subscriptions page. Worse is that the video is pushed down the page and by the time it's released I need to remember that I didn't watch it and scroll down to the day it was announced.

[VanDeGraph]

The only benefit I see to premiere is that it can help avoid "spoilers" by making it so people can't skip ahead
