Would You Enact Furious Violence Upon A Butt Sniffer?

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!

Visit http://www.menhirsfate.com/ for more info about out LARP Fest! 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!

We're doing a Haturday Live on the 22nd August! Become a Member/Twitch Sub or join our Patreon and pick a side between three houses: Alexsor, Hard Ross Cafe, and Club Trotticana. This week we also get into why history's suddenly interesting now nobody's forcing us to learn it, Ross's story about watching a man kick a rat to death in Bristol, and how stretched Bristol police are with bike thefts, phone thefts, and teenagers kicking in shop doors. Then Alex starts shaking Ross's can of Pepsi Max convinced there's something in it, sparking a proper legal debate about suing over a mouse you can't prove you didn't put there. We close out on a real story about leprosy cases rising in Florida, linked to armadillos.

We start this one asking if it's even worth naming every colour in the spectrum, and by the end we've somehow convinced ourselves humanity might be the uncontacted tribe - the North Sentinel Island of the universe, quietly minding our own business while some alien anthropologist takes notes from a safe distance. In between: the colour scientists supposedly created by lasering someone's eyeball, the logistical nightmare of Noah fitting 7.7 million species onto one boat, our theory that every complicated manufactured product is missing one final (and deeply disgusting) step, and a passionate case for bringing back the top hat. We also solve the Big Bang. It's a black hole. We're in it. You're welcome.

Sony just killed physical game discs - and the internet is furious. This week on Hat Chat, we dig into Sony's decision to stop producing disc copies of video games from 2028, and why gamers are losing their minds about it. We break down what this actually means for you: full Sony control over your games, the death of the second-hand market (RIP trade-ins), and the very real fear that game prices are about to spiral with zero competition to keep them in check. We also compare it to Steam, which has been discless for years - and why that same move barely registered for PC gamers. Turns out console players are just catching up to something PC has already made peace with. Then we lighten the mood with some GTA 6 talk - what new features might be coming. And we close things out with the story of Mexican fans yelling obscenities outside Ecuador's team hotel... and why you'd never catch us doing that. Probably.

We're back, we're sweaty, and one of us might be a baby. We open this week with a pressing issue — AI will not stop using em dashes and we need to talk about it. From there we're sweating through the UK heatwave, losing our minds over the GTA 6 no-disc price tag situation, and piling onto the Steam Machine comeback which arrived with big promises and bigger price tags. We ask: what if you woke up tomorrow with your full adult brain but the body of a baby? We go through the full pros and cons. There are upsides. Not many. And we close out with a man who was caught defecating in a public swimming pool. Eighteen times. Same pool. We have thoughts.

In this episode of Hat Chat, we deliver a 'semi-spoiler' review of Disclosure Day, picking apart the film's biggest plot holes and the issues that left us unimpressed. From there, the conversation shifts to Hollywood pay culture, sparked by the Obsession art director's claims of being underpaid despite the film's global success. That leads into a wider debate on whether actors are paid too much and whether the film industry needs to unionise. Spoiler warning: if you haven't seen Disclosure Day yet, you'll want to watch first.
