#1182 - Nick Kroll

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Five, four, three, two. Hello, Nick.

Nick Kroll (0:07)

Hi, Joe, how are you doing?

Joe Rogan (0:08)

Sorry for the delay. We had a failure, ladies and gentlemen. A catastrophic failure of Windows updating.

It's sort of updated and hung on the TriCaster. But we're back.

Nick Kroll (0:20)

And it seems to be fine. Everything's working.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Allegedly. Allegedly.

Nick Kroll (0:24)

There's that fear when you're like, fuck, I'm turning off the update, I'm going to start again, that you lose everything.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

That is the one annoying thing. We were talking about this before the podcast. I've been using Windows to write on. And I like the ThinkPad. I really like it. I love the keyboard. It's great to write on. But Windows updates like two or three times a day sometimes.

Not just Windows, but like Lenovo will update, and there's some sort of firmware update, and a BIOS update, and...

Nick Kroll (0:50)

Adobe Acrobat's checking in. Want to know if we can...

Yeah, I haven't used a ThinkPad. They still have that little, like, clit right in the middle.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

I don't use it, but it's there. I guess it's for people that have been using it forever. It's very accurate if you do use it.

Nick Kroll (1:08)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:09)

It's like one of those things where you're just sort of used to muscle memory, you're used to doing it, and then they touch the other buttons with their thumb.

Nick Kroll (1:15)

Right. They can still do shit. And it has the mouse, the keypad.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

It has both.

Nick Kroll (1:20)

It's so weird how quickly you become accustomed to some new version of things. I've been using my iPad, and then I've gone back to my computer, and I have a little MacBook, and I find even that weird. I find myself just wanting to touch the screen, and my muscle memory is immediately shot.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

That's one thing that's very odd about Mac computers. They still haven't embraced the touchscreen laptop, whereas the ThinkPad actually has a touchscreen.

Nick Kroll (1:47)

Oh, you can straight up use the screen on it.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

Yeah. It's an option. I have one that has a touchscreen, and one that does not.

But that's a lot of Windows computers have touchscreens, and they even have it so you can turn it into a tablet. You flip it over, and I think they call it the Yoga, the ThinkPad Yoga. And then Microsoft has one, the Surface or something like that.

Nick Kroll (2:07)

Yeah. Apple's like, no, we want to sell you two different things.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

That's exactly what it is. Yeah.

Nick Kroll (2:12)

We're not combining that.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

They're dirty people.

They really are. That fucking battery thing really pissed me off.

Nick Kroll (2:18)

Did it come out? Did it finally get officially? Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

They admitted it.

Nick Kroll (2:21)

Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

They said they admitted it, and they said they did it because the old phones, they were trying to preserve the battery. The fuck you were.

You were trying to piss people off, so they got a new phone.

Nick Kroll (2:32)

We all know exactly what you're doing. It works on me every year and a half. I'm like, why isn't my phone fucking dying every 10 minutes? I'm like, I got to get a new phone.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

Dirty people. They're dirty people. I got the new one. I got the newest of the Mac, the whatever, the iPhone XS Max. It's too big. I fucked up.

Nick Kroll (2:52)

Is it too big?

I've never gone to the bigger one. I've always gotten this size one. I had the X.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

It was perfect. I was happy.

But I got greedy.

Nick Kroll (3:00)

I want to go back. They have some of those now, the smaller, like the four or the five, that little size one.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

Yeah, someone had one the other day, and I had it in my hand. I was like, ooh, this is nice.

You could text with one hand.

Nick Kroll (3:12)

Yeah, exactly. And I think they now make that one with a higher power. It's that size, but it's, I don't know.

Joe Rogan (3:21)

And it fits in your hand. It's square, and the edges are hard. It fits in there perfectly.

Nick Kroll (3:27)

Yeah, it's not like a slip. This one feels like it's going to slip out, and you can't quite get around it the whole time.
