What other positions are there that we haven't mentioned yet?

So yeah, I mean, the, the, I suppose with, uh, there are, there are a bunch of positions that you can, you can have.

Your lineman is your everyday player, so they're just your basic player.

Probably haven't got too much in the way of fancy skills, but they're just, they're there to fill out the team.

You've got your blitzer who is one of your most skilled players, often quite quick, often with good armor, often with useful starting skills like block.

Um, and they're the ones who, uh, they're sort of your star, your, your, your star player type characters.

Um, there are also star players in the game, but, um, they always cost lots of money.

So, so talk to us about those two aspects.

But I think, I think part of the Liam Neeson casting, uh, was the almost, like, meta joke of like, oh, they were kind of doing the same thing, and now we're in these super serious movies, and now we'll cast him as the goofball.

I saw him in person as a child.

I demanded...

I saw in the newspaper that Leslie Nielsen was going to be in a play not too far from my parents' house, and I said, "You need to take me.

I love Airplane and Naked Gun." And I was like, "We gotta go." I don't know, my parents were like, "A play?" or whatever.

Like, so my mom took me.

I j- I never even thought that it might not be comedy.

But, uh-

I, I saw you were ready to say something.

No, no, no.

All, all good.

Uh, my, my point was gonna be, uh, out of the box systems are often underutilized as well.

So now you've got a bunch of features that are inside of something you're paying for that you're not using, that you don't need.

How much is that inflating your cost versus building something custom to achieve a, a, a specific goal like Mike was alluding to? Track and trace.

Okay, track and trace is my biggest issue right now.

Your company will get replaced by a competitor who embraces AI," right? So it's going to be the organizations that embrace the tools that are available to them now that are most successful in the future.

Mm.

Um, the one that we've sort of spoken about on this show, um, and the one that I'm fascinated by because it's supposed to sort of be like a co-working space as well.

And one of the ways they advertise themselves is, like, "Oh, we have a podcast studio here as well." You know, great, great stuff.

I would really like to move our operations to the BrewDog in Waterloo if possible.

Punk, you could say

... sort of like, you know...

But, and was punk, and also, like, something that apparently people liked.

And I guess for a very short period, people did.

Um, how do they say goodbye? How do they do it?

I was standing beside the boat, and they had this urn, and they're passing it around.

And they were actually crying, and I couldn't...

I, I was just taken back.

It's unusual for Māori to spread ashes on the, on the beach without being, uh, going to see the kaumātua, which is the old Māori person that's in the village or community, to see if he'll give the okay.

And he, he said, "Yes, yes, well done.

Well done.

Wow.

I'm Tiffany Reese, and this is Something Was Wrong.

[instrumental music] Hey, my name is Ed.

I'm a survivor from Academy of Ivy Ridge.

I was there from October 3rd, 2002, to July 4th, 2003.

We consider it a warehouse of neglect, and we intend to get the rest of them shut down.

I grew up in a small family.

It was just my mom, my dad, my sister, and me.

What do you do if you have to go to the bathroom? Do you have to, like, raise your hand?

Can you do a good Charlie Nicholas impression?

Uh, I can do a racist Charlie Nicholas impression.

(laughs)

Why didn't you design some promotion kits? That was the plan.

Oh, hell yeah.

That's my underrated thing.

I think, I think people really need to, like, sit down and say, "I'm gonna listen to this thing front to back and, like, see what I think." I've done it mostly successfully, like I've listened to a few.

Like In Flames Clayman, Rob Son- Rob Sonic's album, I can't remember the name of, um-

[laughs]

One album I will recommend that I don't think anyone else will have mentioned, but if you like jazz, uh, Charles Mingus's Black Saint & The Sinner Lady is one of my top three albums of all time.

And I have not sat down and listened to that all the way through in, like, 12 years.

And I was, like, brought to tears by it.
