Speaker 1 (00:01):
Movies, video games, tech. He did not get the nerd
news you need with Mike Jones Minicon on DC one
on one.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
During the World Cup, technology will be playing a big
role in the matches. The balls will have a censorship
in them to measure their movement and help with any
penalties and placements that are needed. Referee body cameras will
be used to give fans a new view of the action.
Body scans of the players will help the different broadcasts
with their analysis and show fans what might happen in
the different games. And there will be advanced offside technology

(00:32):
that can determine where players are within ten centimeters on
the pitch. The World Cup starts tomorrow with Mexico and
South Africa playing the first match. It's a good thing
that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't listen to John c Riley's advice.
Riley was just on Ted Danson's podcast Where Everybody Knows
Your Name, and told him that since he knew Leonardo
from their time on What's Eating Gilbert Grape, he thought

(00:54):
he could get him to be in Boogie Knights for
Paul Thomas Anderson. Riley told DiCaprio that nobody would care
about Titanic. Everybody knows the boat sinks and whatever about
the people on board. Not that Boogie Knights isn't a
great movie, but Leo made the right choice by going
with Titanic. Get your daily pop culture run down around
