The Hat Chat Podcast #26 - What's the Point?

[@autemsicarius]

“Fire and Forget” for some reason I found it far more hilarious than it should be

[@MooCow_o7]

i swerved in my car driving to the grocery store lol

[@__gavin__]

24:03 A classic spurious Trott fact: crocodiles are a mammal.

[@gravnine]

venus is a gas giant I dont care what you say

[@SoapyJed]

Spicy podcast bois, thanks for featuring my Fingle

[@danw9403]

Nice jingle!

[@batmanwings123]

It was great!

[@kadewatkins1623]

Trott's vegan? How can that be, has he given up the immense amount of man meat he's been noshing on for years?

[@Ryquard1]

Smithy you are a musician a marriage between numbers and art

[@moondusk8385]

I couldn't of clicked fast enough......just love Hat Chat. Hat Daddies have the perfect remedy to make me feel better. Thank you for the smiles.

[@awesomeaartvark]

Woah, that started off so jovial and then got very very deep, hahaha, but I enjoyed it! Also, even though I can't go to the gigs, cuz I'm not in England, I'm still super excited for you guys! You all were awesome at YogCon, and I know you guys will do great on stage again!! I hope you all tell us all about it and how everything went in a later podcast, I'm excited, haha

[@pdawg4114]

Wow I was just thinking of listening to Hat Chat, thinking I had missed one and then this shows up! Thanks boiks!

[@AshleyTheDinosaur]

If i'm walking somewhere I do the same as smith I watch myself walk the route in fast forward from when I last did it. but if I'm using a map I can rotate it. The map rotates opposite to the way you turn so if you make a left turn, turn the map clockwise (Right)

[@BesaOMC]

My Husband doesn’t have an inner monologue! He said thoughts just appear as a fully formed thought and then they go. He doesn’t hear it in any sound or voice, not even his. I was blown away when I found that out!

[@p0ppys]

about the not being able to hear your inner voice/monologue. I can't visualize faces in my head. I can imagine people, but when I think of those people later, I can't describe what their face looks like.

[@M1ntberrycrunch]

I know that faces are remembered in a special part of the brain, (which is why we can recognise even the smallest differences in faces). That part is probably not accessible when thinking normally. Also I think you can't see faces in dreams either.

[@M1ntberrycrunch]

Funny thing tho, if you see a picture of someone's face, can you remember the picture of the face (kind of including the face)?

[@p0ppys]

@@M1ntberrycrunch kind of, but not very vividly. I can definitely remember faces when I see them in person. But just thinking abou a person seems to not bring back all the details. Very interesting indeed.

[@CarterArts]

Fingle was great this week

[@SoapyJed]

Cheers boi

[@drummanicman]

Intelligence has more than one kind of manifestation.

[@gravnine]

that fingle was A class

[@clarnus3712]

This is a great podcast as always boys. Some awesome existential discussion. I was looking for some answers though..

[@quietusplus1221]

Wait, what's a shaver outlet? I'm lost... Anyways, as a European. The best plugs are UK (fuse built-in) > Europe > US (they are really unsafe, works when half inserted, hence the meme). Don't know much about any others.

[@thesecondkate]

Just finished the last HatChat and this popped up!! Thanks for cheering me up bois it’s always needed ✌🏼👍🏼

[@peraltaatlarep7584]

Thanks for the podcast guys

[@ClitorusAllsorts]

I hope I can save enough in time to come see you guys

[@venomx99x]

1:09:34 that is a thing jessie cox did it

[@adambanks7909]

I love the “eat shit” mug behind trott

[@lewis6590]

'you can only ignore a rash so long' bit hypocritical smith given your rash has been ongoing for years.

[@tlaxietlkyon]

I'll watch this one after my existential crisis gets better.

[@copydepastey]

american sockets do have three holes with an earth/ground. in older american homes there may not always be an earth but generally most sockets will have them. they are just orientated slightly differently and with different shaped holes than in the UK. They also dont have the switch on them which is a shame.

[@TheOdd]

Fucking love a good Hat Films existential crisis video

[@kirky4063]

Smith describing the idea of uploading your consciousness and hoping a future civilization will reanimate you reminded me alot of the plot from Horizon Zero Dawn.. Not the same but similar to what the people from the past planned in that game.

[@krysimp.]

*jed*

[@9PlatinumGamer9]

Has Smith dyed his hair?

[@sglyph]

I think it's just wet

[@AshLilburne]

Trott fails to realize that family's will still love addicts through their addictions. In many cases its when they have to show the most love and support and patience.

[@ronjohnson831]

Love these hatchats hatdads Keep it up 👍

[@trevorwovz6614]

this was a good episode

[@1random1dude1]

You cant do that with a plug top in the UK as all new plugs have a plastic section on the line and neutral connections which will stop you being able to touch the pins before it becomes live.

[@ctulhuone]

The no sub porn problem is real, I would love to see foreign porn subtitled

[@roololing]

Having a fear of losing something means you'll likely put more effort into protecting it. If you had zero fear of losing/damaging your phone, for example, there's a good chance you would wind up spending more on replacements and repairs.

[@roololing]

And it would make sense for that fear to be bigger with things that aren't as easily replaced.

[@samueleslick3534]

Ooo weee, yes lads!

[@kurtturk]

If u guys can keep coming up with things for the main channel i think this is a good direction for u guys

[@maxmannino8149]

old American plugs are 2 prong but you really only see those on very old buildings. most American plugs have 3 prongs

[@seanwatson446]

I wish they would come to the 02 arena In Newcastle Suppose it a bit to far north for them

[@sogloaf]

Come down to Cornwall bois, I’ll buy a ticket

[@LollyLollypop13]

So want to come support you in concert but out the country for the entire tour :( if you wanted to add another date in the future, would much be appreciated ^_^

[@SolstaceWinters]

1:09:32 You guys should see if Dominic Noble is willing to join you guys for this Lost in Adaptation: Porn Edition, as you guys very seriously compare porns to their source material. That would be a magical experience, but VERY demonitized. Also "Fire and Forget", the new best catchphrase.

[@JoshKit]

My mum actually went to school with somebody called 'Ben Dover'...

[@blitzalpthepleb5160]

Caring less about stuff is not necessarily age it's more mental health I would say, or strategies you have adapted that may or may not be helpful

[@equanimityturban]

I miss Alan, where is he

[@Yyyyyyyyyyyy86]

Smith if you'd like to imagine what you'd be if you weren't driven by emotions and therefore were super productive. You'd basically be a robot. You'd get everything done to a high standard determined by your skill set and at the end of the day you'd go to bed and rest (or plug yourself into a wall haha). But again the question would return "what's the point?". A robot only does what we programme it to do. We only programme it to do things because it benefits our goals. And our goals are driven by our emotions. You'd be depressed if you completed ignored your emotions and focused on productivity and ultimately it wouldn't be beneficial to you. It's also not smart to go the other way and be totally driven by your emotions because you'd be a mess and it would again lead to depression. It seems so obvious and lame when people say you have to strike a balance but sometimes the answer is the obvious one and there isn't much more than that. Your goals mean something to you, your family means something to you and your possessions mean something to you! Through our emotions we can find meaning in the smallest of things. I think that's quite beautiful and not something to be taken for granted. I hope you get my message.

[@MastersDrums]

very deep

[@isaachewitt-richards2714]

Good day

[@maryqwe234]

That suddenly got deep

[@saulmackie5988]

Ty for content boiks

[@jakobaylott9524]

I think if i wasn't religious, i would be too afraid to think of anything existential for fear of realising i live a meaningless life. So I expect i'd just end up being along for the ride and never considering or doing anything of significance.

[@alexanderroland3509]

The Hat Chat Podcast

[@OfficialMonarchy]

good vid

[@Notpoop906]

on the topic of having kids, the way I see it is typically, successful and smart people tend to have less kids. Smart people are usually more considerate of the environment. I feel it is their obligation to fill the world with as many smart offspring as possible lmfao

[@nathanrowland1918]

Why dont you guys come back down to Portsmouth to do a gig. The pyramids would be a good venue for the size you're looking at

[@Notpoop906]

the problem with "science" is it's merely one person's interoperation of evidence. nothing about a scientific explanation makes it inherently factual...

[@jmcb0089]

"plug talk" this is getting eerily similar to Triforce... granted, sips was talking about bath plugs

[@MegaJonny54321]

Just feeding the algorithm :D

[@Chapizard]

For us our AI is electronic. What if we are the result of an ancient species that made us using a highly Advanced bio organic technology. For example, humans have created all the individual parts that make up an electronic AI lifeform but this ancient species used a carbon based biology to create the human body. Our brain is an organic super computer. All of our individual parts are a part of this highest level of ancient technology that has become sentient and self-reliant. Or something... What would the ancient species look like?

[@MrAltissimo]

Gets to putting on the cockrings: “here you go Rhiannon” (rethinks decision). 😬

[@noxsamus397]

i just wanted to say, no i won't wacth tik tok BUT this said thanks guys, the kids do tik tok and now i can yell at them *ehm warn then* to not EVER do that SH!T, again thx.

[@GGHF]

Take a shot every time Smith asks, "what's the point?" to pretty much everything.

[@billinger2341]

What's the point?

[@theformalmooshroom9147]

What's story with this and coronavirus?

[@Ora_]

Why would you care about star wars spoilers? Those disney star wars movies are garbage.

[@alistairsnow2795]

I had a nightmare with u guys in it and now i feel so uncomfortable watching u .-.

[@Bongadoo]

I thought I didn't want kids all through my 20s and early 30s. Then at some point in my mid 30s I thought about the possible experiences of a humans existence. I only get one shot at the experience of having children, and I wanted to have a full human experience during my life, rather than squander or regret any opportunities. I now have 2 wonderful children and I would absolutely do it again. I would recommend stoicism to anyone struggling through life at the moment: yes, its easy to lie in bed and be comfy and warm, but as animals that's not what we're designed to do. Get up, and do what you are designed to do. Life is hard, but we're designed to adapt and persist and you're much stronger than you think you are.

[@AlexSmith-kf9lg]

Bob Holness thank you for your insight - glad you’re doing well :)

[@IanGerritsen]

One or more of you 3 should really have a political chat stream with Sargon, you'll get a far better understanding of why people disagree with you politically. Would be an entertaining stream too because you can all keep things civil.

[@Yawnymcsnore]

The Communist podcast

[@RealDids]

The purpose of life is to reproduce, Smith. More people need to have kids, at least here. The amount of pregnancies here have been going down like crazy in the past 10+ years.
