H.I. #45: Technobabble

Grey & Brady discuss: balloons, passport scanners, freebooting leaves the nest and GIFs, stuff people do while listening to the podcast corner, gustatory synesthesia follow-up, Brady meets his favorite band, and *The Martian* homework.

[omglol]

I read it as Technoblade. CGP Grey x Technoblade would be the greatest and most awkward collab ever.

[ace]

I thought this said TechnoBlade and i was really confused for a solid minute

[nathanlamberth]

“I love logistics” I hear your factorio showing and I am dying to hear that game get mentioned

[crossover]

In The Martian I personally enjoy all the explanations and maths behind the equipment and procedures.

[BrentODell]

I've been making 'dad jokes' and bad puns since I was a single, childless, teenager. :)

[rancidmarshmallow]

the part I really enjoyed of the martian was in fact those lengthy descriptions, because it made the book sort of an alternate reality nonfiction book. without those details it wouldn't have been the same. even if the author did the same calculations and worked it all out, I think I'd have questions and doubts of it's realism.

[facebren]

The whole "take me to the engine room" seems awfully suggestive ;)

[kacee]

Darn it. I have a serious issue with hello internet. This is the second night in the row I have stayed up to past 1am in the morning listening to it. I should really go to sleep now.

[Fishysua]

The trailer for The Graduate is by far the most spoilertastic thing ever.  It is literally the Graduate in under 4 minutes.

[SuperSuperspoof]

Let's get one thing straight. I already consider puns the height of humor and I have no children.

2:03:10 "would [...] read" - CGP Grey

[gangsterman]

me, an idot, thinking this was technoblade

[miraeschwartz]

I hope Brady asks the word-tasting person if they taste words when they read things. I enjoy every episode, and especially the way you both broaden my perspective on topics, thank you.

My teacher used a picture from one of Grey's videos and when I asked if it was from CGP Grey her answer was that she had no idea, she had just found it while searching for pictures of whatever she was talking about

[Baconator]

I would've been almost certain that the title of this would've been "The Toilet is Not An Option"

[CATboss]

How the fuck is this going on the shelf?

55:00 "On the internet, everyone is a child." ~Plato, probably.

[callmequaz]

Perhaps a few years late, but you don't necessarily need the whole balloon to be grey, maybe something clear and bright with the logo placed on it, or somehow worked into the design. That would be an interesting challenge actually, desiging a hot air balloon that would be eye catching, attractive and advertise the Hello Internet podcast clearly.

[Garbaz]

I for one did like The Martian. But not enough to read it a second time.

[contrapunctusmammalia]

It is an amazing achievement to birth a new world into the world, you should be very proud.
