We (the super cool Hat Films guys) cover some pretty gross topics in this one, Ross admits he was never a fan of Skyrim and then we hear about the horrific stench of Pokemon competitions and Comicon events. There's some mockery of the latest Tesla event and concerns for trotts favourite categories on the hub. We hope you enjoy and check out all 233 other Hat Chat episodes as this was most definitely your first!

We skip around with ideas in this one starting with Alun's methods in terms of dealing with food stealing seagull attacks. We discuss cars for a bit, even though we know very little about them. We pivot to our favourite dinosaurs and question how real they are and if their bones were planted as an elaborate prank. Then finally onto some bizarre news involving a guy attempting to do the nasty to a poor shetland pony which brings about the fearful idea of someone invading your home to kiss your family pet. It's a weird one and I wouldn't blame you for skipping it tbh. Enjoy!

This week we get into misophonia - including Trott's own experience with it and what frustrates him most about living with it. Then we shift gears completely and talk about the new Pokémon 30th Anniversary cards, and how absurd the prices people are paying for them have gotten.

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.

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.
