Unlike Simon, I’m willing to learn but I admit it doesn’t thrill me, so I’m tempted to say it would bore me. However, whichever way Simon reacts (either a rising wrath for having been forced to read about sports, or you managing to surpass his apathy and make it palatable to him) is sure to entertain us. On my end I’m looking forward to learning.
The next All-Terrain inspired meme is neither an AT-CAT or AT-DAT. I will tell you lot that I happen to be pretty good friends with resident CasCrim writer Matthew Marcum. Do with that information what you will.
Omg 😂 long time follower here, kinda dropped off here lately, but can I just say that watching Simon getting frustrated talking baseball was the highlight of this year so far 😂😂😂
Kevin's details and language regarding Baseball were definitely trolling everybody Simon and everybody outside the USA. Haha...I had no idea, Baseball is like a boring version of Test Match Cricket...😂
That baseballtalk reminded me of when 10 year old me decided to read out a knitting pattern to some school friends . . . The bewilderment and dawning realisation they may be in the presence of madness was hilarious.
Simon should start a new channel called Sports Blaze where it's just him reading scripts about sports and having literally no clue about what he's reading.
I remember the CrowdStrike incident fondly, halfway through the day all our computers at work went down so for about four hours I was sweeping the floors and playing football, with a ball made from shrink wrap, with not a stress or worry in sight. ❤
I’m 2:40 in and this is one of the funniest things since some of the OGBB script slapping era! Simon’s absolute melt down over a complete lack of sports knowledge *chef’s kiss!*
I'm so old, Linux kernel panics still worked, nowadays if the kernel panics the system just freezes, it mainly broke due to using a very esoteric rendering mode that doesn't currently work while a desktop is running, fixing the issue is coming soon and you'll be able to style it, can't wait for a lilac screen of death
My husband's tech team had to go in for an "all hands on deck" emergency to fix the system. Worst of all, since it affected EVERYTHING, they were finding systems that got missed for weeks. One guy wanted to make a video call to China in an office they rarely use, and the display monitor was still down. When 4 techs have to fix 2000 machines in 3 countries because the company can't be bothered to hire enough people, a mass failure like this gets messy. At least the CEO acknowledged their quick response in his worldcast and gave them each a $1500 bonus. I guess he thinks that also makes up for not giving them a raise to match inflation 5 years in a row.
As an IT support technician, I sadly have to confirm that too many developers/companies push out updates without testing them first. And then my colleagues and me are left dealing with the fallout, fun !
I remember CrowdStrike's mess up. I was up all night fixing hospital servers and computers, and feeling bad for people stuck in airports and those who couldn't get through to emergency services. At least we could still care for our patients.
Boeing never should have moved out of Seattle. It was better when we did all the work. Yeah, I'm from Seattle and my friends' parents were engineers working on things like the Apollo moon landing.
My fault. I put a curse on Boeing when they took the KC-135 PDM contract from us. Pemco Aeroplex in Birmingham, AL. I was one of 5000 who lost their job. Sorry. It may wear off, though.
From what I heard NASA sent consultants to both Boeing and Space X, at Space X they were heavily involved with the development and construction and treated like Experts. At Boeing some of them reported being basically ignored, treated like interns, and generally sidelined by corporate suits who thought they knew better than even Boeing's own engineers, let alone these interlopers. (At least 1 Boeing whistleblower made it publicly known before his coroner ruled self-end that he was explicitly not going to do that and was very much looking forward to his day in court as a witness).
Would not be surprised at Boeing's treatment of NASA personnel. 2009ish Boeing did a test flight out of Seattle of some new massive plane and had to ground it in Moses Lake, WA for months while they tried to figure what went wrong. Absolute jerks to deal with. Never been so glad to just be a general employee in a machine/welding shop instead of customer facing. I just had to make sure there weren't any sharp edges they might accidentally cut themselves with on their new parts. Super easy to spot at local restaurants and stores. Never seen such an absolute "I'm better than you and hate your backwater town" group of folks.
@@ThisIsATireFire It seems like Boeing's merger ended with them getting Eaten from the inside out with corpo suits and their pets kicking out all of the actually excellent staff that gave Boeing their massive profits to begin with.
Personally, I love when the home team successfully executes a play, subverts the defense of the opposition, demonstrates their athletic prowess, and scores points. Yes, go sports. Most indubitably.
As someone who lives in the US but has no athletic talent and is bored to death watching sports unless someone gets hurt, I, like Simon, had no goddamn clue what the hell the introduction was about.
20:04 You've never seen a episode it's Gilligan's Island??? That was my shit when i was a kid, plus it's got a banger of a theme song. Simon's lack of TV shows/movies never cease to amaze me 😂😂😂
To be fair he is British. I can really only think of one or two British TV shows from that era. Dr Who and Monty Python's skits. And I remember watching Gilligan's Island on my grandmother's black and white TV.
I’ve seen it because of reruns on public channels on Sunday mornings, and only knew it existed as a kid because my mom mentioned she loved it as a kid. It’s very funny and since it thrives off “eccentric people not cut out for survival situations making decisions that have unexpectedly terrible outcomes but surviving just fine” the humor is timeless.
Kevster, you are always in the comments. I am absolutly SURE you put that huge part about sports in the beginning just to trigger massive tangents from Simon.
This episode is funny AF. Kevin should be rewarded with his own space in the dungeon. ☺️. The small editorial insert of a disappearing TH-camr is gold🥳
Poor Simon 😂 I feel like this when someone talks about cricket. If it makes Simon feel better, Kevin's baseball story did make complete sense for baseball fans
Back in the 50s-70s, girl's were told to pretend the didn't know the sport so they could ask their date to explain it, they you had ro remember which boy thought you understood and which boyfriend thought you were an idiot.
I would be very concerned if my story did not make sense to people who understand how baseball works. It's not like I was talking about the infield fly rule or anything (which is also really simple, though games must have been fairly hilarious before it existed)
For non baseball people, that game at the beginning is legendary for being pure heartbreak. It is incredibly infamous. You can say “Buckner” to even a casual fan and chances are good they’ll respond with a compassionate, “Ahhh…” So hearing Simon be baffled by the summary of that game is really REALLY funny. (Compelled to add that Buckner was an awesome player who didn’t deserve to be remembered for only that flub which the game never should have come down to anyway- fan-tangent over.)
Simon, 'roll it out to your receptionist' is called Beta testing. Alpha testing is passing the code to your professional testers (if you're a bigger company) or other programmers (if you're a smaller company). If you're a company that makes stuff people want to try to break, you can ask for applications for beta testers - this usually works well for games. So yes, 'roll it out to your receptionist' is such a good idea that smart companies already do!
How many people outside of the US do know about baseball rules though? If it were an American reading a script and Gaelic or hurling came up I wouldn't expect them to know much about it because different places follow different sports
@@4lyeskas yeah that's still not exactly the majority of people that would be familiar with the rules but I appreciate you teaching me that it does habe a following on several other countries.
Yep, other half works in IT for a bank. Other people want their money 24/7, so screw our planned weekends away, one of us has to keep the systems running.
the Crowdstrike thing was in the middle of the work day here in Australia. It sucked. And no you can't boot in safe mode. The shortcut has been removed and you have to wait for a particular screen, and guess what, it crashed before that screen. Our IT guy had to use a boot key on an external unit on each individual machine to fix it.
The best thing about Simon many channels is that some are 100% scripted and great for kids and school, then there are the unscripted channels that are for the adults. You can grow up discovering new channels as you age.
Oh god, I work as a bank teller and when the crowdstrike outage happened, it was a long day of hand writing receipts and then catching up when it finally came back the next day. Thankfully a lot of people realized they couldn’t do anything but we occasionally got the people going “what outage?” We finally had the tv on in the background and pointed when it kept happening
Swiss Family Robinson and the Gilligan's Island bunch both got there via a shipwreck. It's amazing that you got it right that they had a similar basic premise and wrong on what that premise was. The plane crash one was Lost.
hi! i used to be a teller for chase! the only people that go into banks are 1)those without accounts cashing checks 2) old people 3) rich people making sure their giant checks get handled immediately 4) businesses
8:38 Wow Simon with the quick wits, or a lucky guess. Yes the fix for most machines was to reboot into safemode, so we could delete the specific Crowd Strike file and then reboot as normal. At least that's what we had to do at our company.
That was a temporary fix. You could boot in safe mode and delete the files, but then crowdstrike also wouldn't be protecting the computer. It's what a lot of people did just to have their machines function though
I'm not old (45), I just go to the teller because the local branch has a tendency to have 3 of the 4 drive-thru ATM's broken. It's faster than waiting in a line of drivers crammed into one lane.
Crowdstrike happened on my birthday. I chose to believe the internet broke on my birthday because of just how significant a day it is. But truly, it’s still the fault of Microsoft. Prove me wrong 😑 Simmons melt down over baseball was the perfect opening pitch to this awesome episode 😂
Don't feel too bad Simon, I've lived in this country 50 of my 51 years & I only know what a few of those things mean. & I even played for one summer as a kid. (Hated it, didn't want to, but I did.)
Writers missed the most important parts of why Concord failed, they made a bunch of statements and releases about their choices in why the game was developed/ made the way it was and when the potential player base tried addressing the issues they saw, the devs of concord replied that "the game wasn't for you then" which pissed off a lot of potential players that would have played it to try it and so the players listened and since it wasnt for them they didn't buy it. Then the devs and small community that DID support concord got all pissy and lambasted the player base at large and blamed us all for why concord failed, all why not once taking responsibility for their own massive part in all of it.
That only speed up it's failure, it didn't really contribute to it. The game was horrible, and cost money in a genra filled with frre to play games out it's butt. No matter how nice they were about it, or even if they'd tried to listen a bit, it still would have failed. It just may have taken longer.
I liked watching artist pick apart Concord, because seeing them point out the whole "silhouette" and "shape/color theory" is a nice turn on actually WHY the designs were bad beside"looks ugly"
@@zogar8526 This is it. Having a full price title in a segment filled with free to play is a recipe for failure, no matter how good the game is. Too bad for Concord, it wasn't even a good game
My coworkers and I spent the entire Crowdstrike debacle wondering if Crowdstrike would be discounted enough for us to buy it. And wonder of wonders, we actually *were* allowed to demo Falcon a few weeks ago. We decided to go with a competitor, but it was fun. Simon, the reason for simultaneous updates is Crowdstrike is designed to recognize *malware*. Malware gets updated so fast that it's essentially a cat and mouse game between virus hashes being identified, Crowdstrike (and equivalents) being updated to catch them, and then the malware being updated to change the hash. Staggered rollout increases the odds of an update being useless.

That was a temporary fix. You could boot in safe mode and delete the files, but then crowdstrike also wouldn't be protecting the computer. It's what a lot of people did just to have their machines function though
When that day came, nothing happen to my PC at work. But almost everybody else didn't have working PC and our company servers crashed 😂
I'm not old (45), I just go to the teller because the local branch has a tendency to have 3 of the 4 drive-thru ATM's broken. It's faster than waiting in a line of drivers crammed into one lane.
Crowdstrike happened on my birthday. I chose to believe the internet broke on my birthday because of just how significant a day it is. But truly, it’s still the fault of Microsoft. Prove me wrong 😑 Simmons melt down over baseball was the perfect opening pitch to this awesome episode 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Don't feel too bad Simon, I've lived in this country 50 of my 51 years & I only know what a few of those things mean. & I even played for one summer as a kid. (Hated it, didn't want to, but I did.)
Writers missed the most important parts of why Concord failed, they made a bunch of statements and releases about their choices in why the game was developed/ made the way it was and when the potential player base tried addressing the issues they saw, the devs of concord replied that "the game wasn't for you then" which pissed off a lot of potential players that would have played it to try it and so the players listened and since it wasnt for them they didn't buy it. Then the devs and small community that DID support concord got all pissy and lambasted the player base at large and blamed us all for why concord failed, all why not once taking responsibility for their own massive part in all of it.
I believe Kevin misses a lot of things. After listening to his lifestyle I would be surprised if he didn’t miss more.
and Concord is estimated to have cost around $400m, not 150 lol
That only speed up it's failure, it didn't really contribute to it. The game was horrible, and cost money in a genra filled with frre to play games out it's butt.
No matter how nice they were about it, or even if they'd tried to listen a bit, it still would have failed. It just may have taken longer.
I liked watching artist pick apart Concord, because seeing them point out the whole "silhouette" and "shape/color theory" is a nice turn on actually WHY the designs were bad beside"looks ugly"
@@zogar8526 This is it. Having a full price title in a segment filled with free to play is a recipe for failure, no matter how good the game is. Too bad for Concord, it wasn't even a good game
With Simon not knowing American anything, it would be great to put out some polls on his F-ing stuff up! KEVIN IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
My coworkers and I spent the entire Crowdstrike debacle wondering if Crowdstrike would be discounted enough for us to buy it. And wonder of wonders, we actually *were* allowed to demo Falcon a few weeks ago. We decided to go with a competitor, but it was fun.
Simon, the reason for simultaneous updates is Crowdstrike is designed to recognize *malware*. Malware gets updated so fast that it's essentially a cat and mouse game between virus hashes being identified, Crowdstrike (and equivalents) being updated to catch them, and then the malware being updated to change the hash. Staggered rollout increases the odds of an update being useless.
I was ready for them to follow the solarwinds strategy and rename the company before the end of the month.
C-O-P-A? Copacabana? 🎶 The hottest spot north of Havana 🪘🕺
I don't get American sports, and I'm an American 🇺🇸
Thanks for the laughs Simon ❤
Epic Daikatana reference, Kevin!
Why thank you!
Simon: "Who the hell has an every day interaction with Oracle? No one!"
me: (raises hand) um, hi?
I was like “probably everyone, even if they don’t realize it”
Me to 😂
Simon’s knowledge of football being basically only Manchester United players makes my red heart happy
"Jus sit right back and you'll hear the tale -- the tale of a fateful trip..."
Are you familiar with that shows Mandela effects? Spooky stuff.
... that started from this tropic port - aboard this tiny ship". Swiss family Robinson was due to a shipwreck too.
@@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat I'm not. Will look into it.
Your not alone Simon 😂. I haven't understood the script either after 10 minutes..
I utilize oracle at work, and I make steel roofing/siding. We use it for scheduling orders and sending them to the machines, and managing inventory.
1:14 as a Red Sox fan, I can say, Simon nail it..
I do really like the bits of DBZ Abridged peppered in this video.
…

🎶🎵 A tale of a fateful trip
🎶🎵 That started from this tropic port
🎶🎵 Aboard this tiny ship
🎶🎵 The mate was a mighty sailing man
🎶🎵 The skipper brave and sure
🎶🎵 Five passengers set sail that day
🎶🎵 For a three hour tour, a three hour tour 🎵🎶
Is anyone else surprised that Simon knows about the Swiss Family Robinson movie? 😂
He probably just knows about the book.
I'm pretty sure I remember a TV series version in either late 60s or early 70s.
The movie was on UK tv quite a lot in the 90s.
