The Hat Chat Podcast

This week we get into misophonia - including Trott's own experience with it and what frustrates him most about living with it. Then we shift gears completely and talk about the new Pokémon 30th Anniversary cards, and how absurd the prices people are paying for them have gotten.

From there we take a trip down memory lane, chatting about the Minecraft adverts we made back in the day and getting into the actual details of how those were structured. We also talk about how parodies of Minecraft used to get away with a lot more "back in the day" compared to now.

We wrap things up with Ed Sheeran's failure to take a clear stance on the genocide happening in Gaza, and whether he could be heading for a much bigger backlash if the gigs go ahead.

This week, we discuss the harsh realities of AI technology potentially taking over the human race - but we keep it nice and light, with a sprinkle of animal nature in the form of bears tearing the skin off living salmon. If that's not your bag, we take a turn toward the newly announced iPhone Duo and question both its use cases and its exorbitant cost.

There's also a new Zelda remake announcement, and we discover that there's a butt sniffer on the loose.

Please enjoy our inane babbling, and we hope you'll consider subscribing for the next episode, where we'll likely cover even more useless topics to fill your earholes!

This week we debate the actual point of cloning yourself, using The Prestige as our case study - do you go full Hugh Jackman or full Christian Bale? We then question why the news insists on interviewing random people in the street about serious topical stories, then it's 'curtains for zoosha" as we look into how confusing the internet celebrity space is and how quickly you can fall behind. That leads into a chat about how brutally hard it is to reach the top of YouTube stardom, let alone stay there, and how most internet celebrities seem to appear from total obscurity - Hawk Tuah Girl being the prime example, who had a few months of fame before ending her internet career with an actual crypto rug pull. Naturally, we conclude that's how every creator's career should end.

This week: the agony of saying "alright mate?" to a semi-stranger mid-walk, then straight into Star Citizen's endless funding vs. its glitchy, still-unfinished reality (courtesy of a stream that fell apart on air). Gamescom brings news of a Witcher 3 remaster, a new Worms game, and - bizarrely - a Thomas & Friends title. Then we get into it: Meta's smart glasses hackable recording indicator, the privacy line between being knowingly filmed and secretly filmed, and why they're basically a "dashcam for humans." That leads into America's Flock camera network and its far more invasive surveillance reach. We close on GTA 6's new teaser and the leaker behind the viral clips, who might be gearing up to drop the PC build!

This week on The Hat Chat Podcast, we kick things off with a quick shoutout to the Triforce Podcast, then dive into the latest GTA 6 leaks from Cyberleek. We break down what we know so far, whether an old build leaking might mean the final game looks or plays differently, and what features we're now expecting from the leaked samples. We also get into whether Rockstar debuting the new trailer on Netflix undercuts the piss-takey, anti-establishment tone GTA's always leaned into. A little ironic, no?

From there: would the leaker face more prison time for leaking the whole game versus just a few clips?

Naturally that spirals into a "would you rather" - five massive bluefin tuna in a tank with you, or one small tiger shark - which somehow leads to Ross pitching underwater electromagnets as shark defense, and then a tangent about ICE's new shock gloves. Don't ask how we got there.

Check out Menhir's Fate's last event of the year in September, and last Saturday's Haturday Live is on the back end for members!
