2
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:11,070
UHNWIs unwrapped. Well, well
Well hello, everybody. Welcome

3
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:16,830
to 2024 Welcome to podcasting.
This is the official board

4
00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:20,460
meeting of podcasting. Forget
any other show. This is where

5
00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:23,040
podcasting takes place. This is
where you hear what's really

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,070
going on with the podcast
industrial complex with the

7
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:29,280
future of podcasting with value
for value, everything with a

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,670
namespace podcast index.org And
of course, everything we're

9
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:36,540
discussing at podcast index dot
social, the only boardroom

10
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:39,480
without an agenda or meticulous
minutes. That's right. I'm out

11
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:43,470
here in the heart of the
country. And in Alabama. The man

12
00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:46,230
who was alpha is better than the
year beta say hello to my friend

13
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:48,420
on the other end. Dave Jones.

14
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:58,200
Will you muted? Yes. Because you
worried myself because you were

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,300
munching on something again? No,
I

16
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,780
Dave Jones: was frantically
typing there in moving crap

17
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:05,910
around on my screen. I didn't
want to make a bunch of noise.

18
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,910
And live troubleshooting the AP
bridge.

19
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:12,240
Adam Curry: Oh, boy. Yes, yes.
For those who were not listening

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,650
live. We, we we were waiting for
that. We've had some problems

21
00:01:16,650 --> 00:01:19,680
with the Fetty with the
fediverse bridging as a few a

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,820
few issues.

23
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:27,180
Dave Jones: What I'm going to do
so you got you got the live pod

24
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:28,620
thing went out? Yes. They

25
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:30,840
Adam Curry: went out because we
saw it come to the boost the

26
00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:33,750
live bot. Yeah. Got it.

27
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:35,490
Dave Jones: I got it on my
phone. We

28
00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:37,590
Adam Curry: are live and live.
Hello, everybody. Hello, Sam

29
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:42,210
Sethi in the UK. Hello. Got your
red wine. He's drinking. We've

30
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:43,440
driven him to dream.

31
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:47,670
Dave Jones: We tend to do that
with most mate most people

32
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:49,530
Adam Curry: have to drink when
they listen to us. Yes, I know.

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,500
Dave Jones: Yeah. If you're
recovering, don't don't listen

34
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:59,340
to the show. You will fall off
the wagon. So it's funny, by the

35
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:03,390
way, whenever you send the live
pod thing out, all the apps

36
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:05,970
START push notification group is
like

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,930
Adam Curry: I have Yeah, I had
to turn a couple of them off.

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,350
Because it was it my screen was
getting too crowded. You know,

39
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:16,920
it was getting making me
anxious. Like, oh, I wake up in

40
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:19,080
the morning. There's a whole row
of things. Now of course,

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,850
subsequently, I sometimes miss
the new media show, ping which

42
00:02:23,850 --> 00:02:26,220
is a bummer because I love
interacting with those guys

43
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:27,690
live. That's always hilarious.

44
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:31,230
Dave Jones: Let's see. Okay, so
I'm gonna do I'm gonna ping the

45
00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:35,520
hub right now because there's
gonna be so we know the podcast.

46
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:40,890
The excuse me, the pod ping live
notification went out. Because

47
00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:45,660
we got that and in the podcast
live bought, picked on activity

48
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:46,620
pub picked it up. I

49
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:48,030
Adam Curry: got notifications
here.

50
00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:53,490
Dave Jones: Because so I'm going
to do C pub dot podcast

51
00:02:53,490 --> 00:03:00,780
index.org/pub Notify ID equal
nine to 0666. Yeah.

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,150
Adam Curry: What is up with the
666 ID man that's irritating.

53
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:09,870
That that was just chosen for us
at random by

54
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,790
Dave Jones: No, we're being
stalked by dark buysafe we have

55
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:17,400
a we have a booster gram from
satan today as well. So we're

56
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,610
gonna

57
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,450
Adam Curry: see live. So what
Dave is doing if you're new, we

58
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:29,340
are working on fed defying the
podcast index, which means that

59
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:33,720
you can actually follow
podcasts, any podcast in the

60
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,030
index from any Mastodon account
or anything that speaks activity

61
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:43,140
pub, which is cool, because it
basically is built the biggest

62
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:47,820
podcast app in the world. Just
the way I see it. And there's

63
00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:51,360
all kinds of groovy things we
can do with it, which the only

64
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,660
you only had this work in last
week. So I mean, doesn't

65
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:57,660
surprise me that stuff breaks
and burps and farts and does

66
00:03:57,660 --> 00:03:58,470
stuff. It's fine.

67
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:01,620
Dave Jones: Oh, this this is the
alpha test of alpha software at

68
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:03,660
this point. I mean, it's barely
hanging together.

69
00:04:03,690 --> 00:04:06,600
Adam Curry: And it's funny how
how I get used to just okay,

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,760
it's working good. I'm putting
it into my production flow.

71
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,840
We're rockin and rollin.

72
00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:12,870
Dave Jones: That's why I've
rolled this out to you because

73
00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:14,760
you break the heck out of
everything.

74
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:18,030
Adam Curry: It's my job. It is
my absolute job.

75
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:21,179
Dave Jones: It's an absolute
you're a hammer. It's not coming

76
00:04:21,179 --> 00:04:23,639
through. This is this is
aggravating.

77
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:27,240
Adam Curry: Is it? Is it in the
inbox, though? Is in the inbox?

78
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:27,900
The

79
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:28,470
Dave Jones: inbox?

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,180
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, that's

81
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:32,700
Dave Jones: the Oh, you mean the
outbox? Yeah, that's

82
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:34,950
Adam Curry: what I mean. Yeah.
Okay, one guy's outbox is

83
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:38,640
another guy's inbox. Okay.
Matter of looking at looking at

84
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,060
things.

85
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:43,890
Dave Jones: See, outbox? I don't
know. Let's check, because

86
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:45,870
Adam Curry: that's, that's what
happened last time. Someone

87
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:48,690
said, Oh, look, it's in the
outbox. So it seems to be like

88
00:04:48,690 --> 00:04:53,070
some kind of signing issue. How
about that? How about that?

89
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,790
Dave Jones: This would not be in
the outbox, typically, because

90
00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:59,640
Adam Curry: I had posted no
agenda and it wasn't showing on

91
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,130
the Fed. Reverse, but it was in
the outbox.

92
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,120
Dave Jones: Yes. So Okay. Well,
here's. Yeah. It's not in now,

93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,170
but this would not be in the
outbox because live the live

94
00:05:13,170 --> 00:05:15,570
notifications do not go into the
outbox.

95
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:21,000
Adam Curry: There's a bridge to
the bridge. That's take it to

96
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,750
the branch.

97
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,980
Dave Jones: It says we're bridge
or bridge and bridges. Okay,

98
00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:31,740
gotcha. Okay. The the, the
regular posts when new episodes

99
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:35,970
go into the feed, those are in
the outbox, right. Got it. Live

100
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,590
notifications do not go into the
outbox. Now, maybe they should.

101
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,860
But that doesn't seem like it. I
don't know. I mean, I'm open,

102
00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:47,760
I'm open to

103
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:51,480
Adam Curry: well open to have my
mind. Why don't you just since

104
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,630
we're on the topic I have at the
top of my list, let's just give

105
00:05:54,630 --> 00:05:57,810
us a little status on the Fed
ification of the index, because

106
00:05:58,110 --> 00:06:03,420
this is where we left off last
last year. And I'm super excited

107
00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:07,230
by by this development, it's it
opens up so many opportunities

108
00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:08,580
once we get it to work.

109
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,750
Dave Jones: Steven crater said,
Where did they go there?

110
00:06:13,470 --> 00:06:18,060
Adam Curry: Who knows? into the
ether, man, stop asking

111
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:19,200
questions crater.

112
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:24,780
Dave Jones: Yeah, like, okay, so
they, they go to the inbox of

113
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:29,010
other servers, which also
answers FPPS question. He says,

114
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,860
Does the bridge also have to
post to the master to master on

115
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:43,500
them? But yes, so. So So yes,
the here's let me just let me

116
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,510
just go back and look and talk a
little bit about structure

117
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:50,970
because they basically this week
with ag with the AP bridge was

118
00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:55,200
nothing but refactoring just
isn't, and it's not the the code

119
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,870
that I've worked on all week is
not even in production yet.

120
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,660
Okay? Cuz I can't. I just ran
out of time, I was trying to get

121
00:07:04,650 --> 00:07:08,430
what, uh, what I need to do, oh,
really, before I can get this

122
00:07:08,430 --> 00:07:13,590
thing to be open, is take out
those hard coded keys. And so

123
00:07:13,590 --> 00:07:17,070
that's what I was trying to do
this morning. And it just, I

124
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:21,240
just did not have time. So
that's, that's all I have to do.

125
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840
And then I'm going to open it
up, that's should be it stupid,

126
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,230
because it should be a simple
thing. They should be like, you

127
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:34,560
know, just something so easy.
But with with rust, that's,

128
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:39,000
that's often where you know,
where you go. And check yourself

129
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,390
into it. The Insane Asylum is
when you think that this should

130
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:47,340
be easy. Yeah. And then it's
like, oh, you know, this, your,

131
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,600
this borrow you? This statical
eight, and you need to have a

132
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,970
static lifetime, because this
variable doesn't live long

133
00:07:53,970 --> 00:07:57,750
enough and goes out of scope
before it's like, Oh, wow. Okay.

134
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:00,090
Adam Curry: Yeah. So you might
as well have a girlfriend, if

135
00:08:00,090 --> 00:08:02,610
you're gonna talk that language
to me. Well,

136
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:04,170
Dave Jones: that's why you don't
have girlfriends, if you're

137
00:08:04,170 --> 00:08:07,350
gonna have if you know how to
talk that language, you have no

138
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:13,020
women in your life, right? Or if
you do, they all hate you. So

139
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:19,230
here's, here's the way the
structure is currently. And this

140
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:25,110
as for the refactor code, as
well as, as well as what's

141
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,280
what's actually live right now.
So there's, there's a web

142
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,710
server. Remember, this is all
based on the, on the core front,

143
00:08:34,710 --> 00:08:40,650
this core little tiny, elegant
web server framework of that

144
00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:48,600
heli pad in MK Ultra, and pod
ping dot cloud are based on. So

145
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,460
it's very simple. It's, it's a
main process thread that spawns

146
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:58,410
individual threads for incoming
web requests, and then putting

147
00:08:58,410 --> 00:09:02,700
in there's a router. And then
there's a request handler, it's,

148
00:09:02,730 --> 00:09:06,870
it's just the whole thing is
like, I don't know, 500 lines of

149
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:12,090
code for an entire web server in
it's like, rock solid. So

150
00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:17,730
that's, that's what the core of
of it is. And then, but then

151
00:09:17,730 --> 00:09:23,010
when the when you start the
server, it also spawns two

152
00:09:23,010 --> 00:09:28,290
additional threads. So one
thread is an episode checker.

153
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:34,410
And it just on a loop checks
constantly with the index. To

154
00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:36,750
find out if there's been new
episodes. Wow,

155
00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:37,800
Adam Curry: shouldn't it be
using pod

156
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:39,509
Dave Jones: pay? Well,

157
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:42,089
Adam Curry: that's next level.
There's

158
00:09:42,089 --> 00:09:46,499
Dave Jones: a net Well, no, it
does. So but but not all. Not

159
00:09:46,499 --> 00:09:50,159
all feeds are pod, of course. So
you have there's so it's

160
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,599
constantly doing that. And it's
like once it's like one a second

161
00:09:54,629 --> 00:09:58,649
you know, it's it's not it's
being nice. So then it's doing

162
00:09:58,649 --> 00:10:01,289
that as one there's a initial
just looping is running all the

163
00:10:01,289 --> 00:10:05,429
time. And then there's another
loop, another thread that gets

164
00:10:05,429 --> 00:10:09,779
spawned to listen to Spurlock's
pod thing. WebSocket.

165
00:10:10,289 --> 00:10:13,049
Adam Curry: Right? That's where
it's supposed to do the live

166
00:10:13,049 --> 00:10:13,499
update.

167
00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:17,430
Dave Jones: Yes. And so whenever
it basically just the thread

168
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:23,310
spawns it, it connects to the
WebSocket, and then enters a

169
00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:28,440
loop, waiting for a read for
read activity. When a new

170
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:34,470
message comes in, it checks. It
calls the index. Because here's

171
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:36,900
the issue. So there's a little
bit of there's a little bit of

172
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:40,680
like, I don't know what you
would call it, a little bit of

173
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:45,330
running around, that has to
happen because pod ping operates

174
00:10:45,330 --> 00:10:50,880
on feed URLs. That's really all
it can operate on. So it

175
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,130
operates purely on feed URLs.
And the reason code and reason

176
00:10:56,130 --> 00:11:00,720
codes, yes, and mediums. So in
the pay a payload for a pod ping

177
00:11:00,990 --> 00:11:09,300
is a feed URL, a medium and a
reason code. The the feed URL,

178
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:15,870
so there's no sense of any kind
of feed ID anywhere in this. So

179
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:17,790
but the AP bridge operates on
feed

180
00:11:17,789 --> 00:11:21,599
Adam Curry: IDs, so you have to
do a lookup there. Yes. So

181
00:11:21,599 --> 00:11:23,309
Dave Jones: there has to be a
reverse lookup. So I'm watching

182
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:27,659
the pod ping web socket. And
when a message comes in, I say,

183
00:11:27,659 --> 00:11:33,059
okay, podcast just went live.
And it's this feed URL. What's

184
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:37,229
the idea? Yeah, how do I know if
that's one that we watch or not?

185
00:11:38,339 --> 00:11:42,989
Does anybody follow this? You
know, who knows. So I have to

186
00:11:42,989 --> 00:11:46,859
convert that feed URL into a
podcast index ID, which requires

187
00:11:46,859 --> 00:11:51,719
a podcast index look up. So
every time I see a live, pod

188
00:11:51,719 --> 00:11:58,049
ping go out, you got to do a
lookup on the API, get the ID,

189
00:11:58,049 --> 00:12:01,439
but at the same time, you don't
want to have the multiple calls.

190
00:12:01,439 --> 00:12:03,569
So you just go ahead and do all
of them at once. So basically,

191
00:12:03,569 --> 00:12:06,719
there's an endpoint. I'm not
even sure if I've made it public

192
00:12:06,719 --> 00:12:17,789
yet. But there's an endpoint
called Live, see, live by Feed

193
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:23,069
URL in it, and you give it a
URL, and it gives you back all

194
00:12:23,069 --> 00:12:29,069
the live items that we currently
know about for that URL. And a

195
00:12:29,069 --> 00:12:31,259
bunch of them and all the feed
metadata and everything that

196
00:12:31,259 --> 00:12:33,899
goes with it. So you can get the
ID and everything you can you

197
00:12:33,899 --> 00:12:42,599
can get every all that stuff in
one call. Will if, if the fifth

198
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:48,569
you will have to wait, you know,
because the pod pain goes out.

199
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,319
Then we parse the feed in the
index, and update the live item.

200
00:12:57,179 --> 00:13:02,219
But the so we have I have to
wait for for like, I think it's

201
00:13:02,219 --> 00:13:07,019
like 60 seconds from getting the
pod paying to give the index

202
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:10,829
time enough to parse the feed so
that the index data is current.

203
00:13:12,689 --> 00:13:15,869
So that it gives me the you
know, like correct data about

204
00:13:15,899 --> 00:13:21,389
the current state of live? Sure.
Okay. So that's, that's like the

205
00:13:21,419 --> 00:13:22,649
there's like a timing little

206
00:13:22,650 --> 00:13:26,160
Adam Curry: bit of time loop.
Yeah, you can miss it. You can

207
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:27,420
you can check too early.

208
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,509
Dave Jones: Yes, you can check
too early for sure.

209
00:13:30,539 --> 00:13:32,849
Adam Curry: This is a Rube
Goldberg Machine Man that I

210
00:13:32,849 --> 00:13:37,259
don't know what you're you're
building here. The dominoes

211
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:42,899
dominoes trip the spoon that
hits the golf ball. It hits the

212
00:13:42,929 --> 00:13:46,859
falls into the glass. The glass
splashes the water. Exactly.

213
00:13:46,889 --> 00:13:48,869
Dave Jones: Yeah. And then a
firecracker goes off and scares

214
00:13:48,869 --> 00:13:55,109
the chicken glaze and a witch.
Yeah, exactly. This is all a

215
00:13:55,109 --> 00:13:57,989
podcasting. By the way. It is a
huge Rube Goldberg

216
00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:00,480
Adam Curry: true it's true
that's called interrupt in the

217
00:14:00,510 --> 00:14:01,560
in some worlds

218
00:14:03,899 --> 00:14:07,199
Dave Jones: so that's that's
what's happening all the time.

219
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:13,049
So what happened? What happened
this past week when everybody

220
00:14:13,049 --> 00:14:16,259
started saying hey, I'm not
getting notifications of new

221
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:23,369
episodes. One of the three one
of those threads the thread that

222
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:26,819
the thread that checks the
podcast index a fresh new add

223
00:14:26,819 --> 00:14:27,479
crash first

224
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,930
Adam Curry: of all, how you
should be very happy and and you

225
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,960
I would say you can be proud of
the fact that people were

226
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,380
complaining that means people
were already like interested in

227
00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:37,500
it.

228
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:39,780
Dave Jones: This is good. It
warms my heart.

229
00:14:41,309 --> 00:14:43,079
Adam Curry: It warms your heart
and then immediately you got a

230
00:14:43,079 --> 00:14:46,499
black hole in your soul because
the feet you're threaded crashed

231
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,620
Dave Jones: your heart can be
warm and pissed off at the same

232
00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:56,220
time. Possible as possible.
Yeah, and so the the it had it

233
00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:59,130
had crashed and I don't know
this for sure yet because I

234
00:14:59,130 --> 00:15:03,270
really could not afford the
distraction of hunting that bug

235
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:08,460
while also refactoring this,
this code, because, here's,

236
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:12,480
well, I don't want to get off
into many different, different

237
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,300
rabbit trails, but just what it
almost certainly is almost

238
00:15:18,330 --> 00:15:29,040
almost 100% Sure this is what it
is, is, is an unwise unwrap. So

239
00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:32,640
unwrapped something that should
have stayed rat is basically,

240
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:37,230
we've, we've talked about this
before. Rust is modern language

241
00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:45,120
in many modern language employ
this idea of of a variable that

242
00:15:45,150 --> 00:15:49,860
you're able to wrap what you
could call wrap a variable. So

243
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:56,310
you can let's say you have a
variable of a podcast index ID.

244
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,270
So this variable is going to
hold is supposed to hold a

245
00:16:00,270 --> 00:16:02,820
number, so there should be issue
holding an integer like the

246
00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:07,440
integer of this show 920666. So
that should be like let's just

247
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:16,800
say a 64 bit unsigned integer,
that variable can in a modern

248
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,500
way, in modern languages like
swift and rust, and that kind of

249
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:23,550
thing, they can be what's called
wrapped, meaning that you can

250
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:28,110
create a new, there's a new type
called and actually in Rust,

251
00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:33,090
there's two different ones, you
can have an option or not, or

252
00:16:33,270 --> 00:16:36,480
some people call an optional,
you have an option or you have

253
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,090
Adam Curry: a result. So it's
like an it's an abstraction of

254
00:16:39,090 --> 00:16:39,840
the variable.

255
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,939
Dave Jones: It is the variable
lives inside of the RET of the

256
00:16:44,939 --> 00:16:51,629
wrapped of the rat, the variable
lives inside a type in the type,

257
00:16:51,659 --> 00:16:58,139
let's just does you say option.
Okay? So option is an option can

258
00:16:58,139 --> 00:17:05,999
be either some or none. So none
is sort of like null or nil. Or

259
00:17:06,089 --> 00:17:09,989
in JavaScript, undefined,
something like that. It's just a

260
00:17:09,989 --> 00:17:14,429
value that means this damage is
inherent, you know what you're

261
00:17:14,429 --> 00:17:19,289
looking for doesn't exist,
essentially. And then the the

262
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:24,749
converse of that is some which
means yes, there is a value

263
00:17:24,749 --> 00:17:27,419
here, you're looking for a
variable called podcast index

264
00:17:27,419 --> 00:17:35,129
ID. And I'm telling you, there
is some value here. So you got

265
00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:38,490
Adam Curry: to unwrap it to
figure out what it is. Yes,

266
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:41,490
Dave Jones: exactly. You can say
Holy crap, I'm programming

267
00:17:41,490 --> 00:17:42,480
Adam Curry: rust, everybody

268
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,470
Dave Jones: print the transcript
and compile it. Yes. So there's

269
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:55,380
also another there's another
version of that is very similar

270
00:17:55,380 --> 00:18:00,600
to that, called result. It's a
result is basically the same

271
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:08,190
ideas option, except it operates
with, you can have either an N

272
00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:12,180
Okay, or error. There's your
your to those instead of some

273
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:15,840
and none. Now you have Okay, an
error it's meant for it's really

274
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,280
meant for returning from a
function and letting the calling

275
00:18:20,670 --> 00:18:24,870
method know whether or not that
function was successful or not.

276
00:18:25,530 --> 00:18:29,340
So if you get back in, okay, you
unwrap it, you're good to go.

277
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:30,150
You got your value, you

278
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:31,740
Adam Curry: got value. God Yeah.

279
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:38,940
Dave Jones: So there is a it
just again, like many, like most

280
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:44,340
modern languages that that
incorporate this feature. Hold

281
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:45,390
on, hold on, wait, hold

282
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:52,680
Adam Curry: on a second day.
Champs have to wake up. Okay. So

283
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,550
I'm dozing off.

284
00:18:55,620 --> 00:18:57,780
Dave Jones: We got him early in
his first class and one so he's

285
00:18:57,780 --> 00:19:03,000
still we're lucky. We're lucky.
So like most modern languages

286
00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:08,940
that incorporate this, this idea
or this feature, there is a way

287
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:15,000
to force the unwrapping. Okay,
so now, now you're not checking

288
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:18,120
to see if it's so like in Rust,
you would say something like

289
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:25,950
this, if podcast index id.is
some meaning if there's a value

290
00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:33,570
there. Yeah. Or if podcast index
id.is. None the meaning. So you

291
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:36,480
would do a check like that
beforehand. But but when you're

292
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,340
prototyping code, and you're
going,

293
00:19:38,670 --> 00:19:41,310
Adam Curry: going quickly to get
you just want to get it no

294
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,320
matter what. Yeah, because
you're like, Hey, I

295
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Dave Jones: know. I don't care
if it crashes, it's fine. It's

296
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,800
kind of science graduate. But I
just want this I don't want to

297
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,220
have to build all this logic,
all this error checking logic,

298
00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:55,380
I'll do that, quote unquote,
later,

299
00:19:55,410 --> 00:19:57,270
Adam Curry: and that's what the
wrapping is for is for error

300
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:59,160
checking logic. Right. And so

301
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,190
Dave Jones: you say it Exactly
so that you can avoid crashing

302
00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:06,990
in written runtime. But, so you
can do I think in Swift, it's

303
00:20:06,990 --> 00:20:11,040
the exclamation point will
unwrap a variable. In rust. It's

304
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,240
either the question mark, or you
can explicitly say dot unwrap.

305
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,200
And that will, that will treat
the variable as if there's

306
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,340
something there and we'll, we'll
return its content. So if

307
00:20:23,340 --> 00:20:25,740
there's nothing there, you get a
thread panic and you cry you

308
00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:28,230
Adam Curry: crash. Okay, I got
it. So that's the problem is

309
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:32,370
that it? Either check too early,
too late or something and it was

310
00:20:32,370 --> 00:20:34,980
zero and you didn't have any,
you didn't have the user to

311
00:20:34,980 --> 00:20:38,040
force unwrap. And then it had
nothing to do with

312
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:42,750
Dave Jones: PS exec thread panic
done that. But it didn't. But it

313
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:47,010
does not crash the entire it
doesn't crash the entire AP

314
00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:48,480
bridge and only crashes read

315
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,580
Adam Curry: read write? Yes.
Well, that's what threads are

316
00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:50,970
for.

317
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,990
Dave Jones: Right, exactly. It's
exactly what I shouldn't be

318
00:20:54,990 --> 00:21:00,720
doing is either one of n and
most likely both of these two

319
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,680
things I should be properly
checking all unwraps which I'm

320
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,760
almost certainly not doing as as
Alex likes to say unwrapping

321
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:16,320
things for Christmas. And, and
also checking to see if the

322
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,470
thread crashes and bringing it
back to life spawning a new

323
00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:21,510
thread. And doing neither one of
them.

324
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,700
Adam Curry: Okay, I gotcha.
Gotcha.

325
00:21:23,730 --> 00:21:28,440
Dave Jones: I guess I'm a bad
program. Boy, naughty. I'm on

326
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,010
the bad list.

327
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,260
Adam Curry: All right. Oh, my
goodness. Thanks, Dave.

328
00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:33,210
Dave Jones: Is that a bad way to
start a show?

329
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:36,000
Adam Curry: I don't know. I
mean, anyone's that the

330
00:21:36,030 --> 00:21:40,770
boardroom is quiet. No one's
saying anything anymore in their

331
00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:42,870
heads are all on their
keyboards. You know, I'm

332
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:45,780
expecting any minute now for
someone to shoot a whole long

333
00:21:45,780 --> 00:21:53,520
row of peas, you know, just fall
asleep on the keyboard. While

334
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,040
we're in at this level, let me
just run through a couple of

335
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,720
things. And then I have some
thoughts. First of all, I want

336
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,180
to congratulate fountain on
there. Rewind every meal apple

337
00:22:06,180 --> 00:22:08,910
and Spotify and everyone was
doing look at what you did this

338
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:13,740
this past year. And fountain Did
you get a rewind email? I did it

339
00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:17,250
was pretty read. Wow, it showed
me how much I had supported it

340
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:21,840
show me the top shows. It was
shareable. It was just it was

341
00:22:21,870 --> 00:22:26,070
what a one it showed me all my
Muslim boosts. It was just a

342
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:30,300
lovely piece of marketing.
Marketing is the thing that we

343
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:36,480
lacked typically in very much
just saying. So that was really

344
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,520
cool. And not everybody has time
for this but I just wanted to

345
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,660
say that was delightful. That's
the kind of stuff that gets you

346
00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:51,450
people to pay attention to what
you're doing two things one,

347
00:22:52,350 --> 00:22:54,510
because I've been picking this
up and I think you've been in

348
00:22:54,510 --> 00:22:59,370
some of these threads. There
appears to be a GUID duplication

349
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,890
amongst a whole lot of WordPress
feeds

350
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:05,940
Dave Jones: Yes, what exactly is
going on around for a long time?

351
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,300
Is

352
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:08,820
Adam Curry: this because now is
this people who are just using

353
00:23:08,850 --> 00:23:12,780
WordPress is it people who are
using the power press plug in?

354
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Is it what what exactly happened
there? Do you know?

355
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:23,700
Dave Jones: Yeah, do you notice
that there's a win win pie its

356
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,290
power to power precious you owe
it is power press okay. Yes,

357
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,280
when power press first released
support for the podcast good.

358
00:23:34,110 --> 00:23:41,640
They had a bug in their in their
code where it was giving

359
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:44,010
everybody the same good. Right.

360
00:23:44,010 --> 00:23:45,750
Adam Curry: Okay, that makes
that's what we're seeing. And

361
00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:48,240
there's a lot of them. Right?
And then

362
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,010
Dave Jones: they they fix the
bug. But there's many feeds out

363
00:23:53,010 --> 00:23:55,590
there that haven't upgraded to
until a later version of power

364
00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:59,370
press yet. Okay, and so those
things are sticking around with

365
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,460
the buggy code where they're
duplicating do IDs but

366
00:24:02,460 --> 00:24:04,770
Adam Curry: once people upgrade
their power press plug in then

367
00:24:04,770 --> 00:24:05,610
it fixes it

368
00:24:07,650 --> 00:24:11,520
Dave Jones: yes, what if if they
if they ever do you know like

369
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:13,590
Adam Curry: well I can tell
hornqvist for sure because he's

370
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:16,380
one of them. That's where it
came from. It's like hey, d h

371
00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:21,060
unplugged has Bo has this this
GUID that is in the in the index

372
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:25,170
a million times I could tell him
to upgrade and

373
00:24:25,170 --> 00:24:27,150
Dave Jones: the last time I
checked and I don't know if you

374
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:29,700
have a hard number on it but the
last time I checked it was like

375
00:24:30,060 --> 00:24:32,130
something like 300 feeds or
something like

376
00:24:32,130 --> 00:24:34,350
Adam Curry: that. I didn't I did
not didn't count

377
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,070
Dave Jones: it wasn't like it
was just like no it's not a

378
00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:40,740
Adam Curry: horrible no it's not
horrible, but it's you know, but

379
00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:44,190
DHL unplugged is a big show and
it should have its own good so

380
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:47,400
I'll make greatest power press
that's what I'm saying. Yeah,

381
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,200
I'll tell him to upgrade his
power press because that's the

382
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,610
problem. Obviously.

383
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,480
Dave Jones: Yeah, it I mean Todd
can jump in there and correct us

384
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,530
if I'm correct me if I'm wrong,
but I'm remember this when it

385
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:03,240
happened because You know, where
it first showed up? was in

386
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,680
transcribe.fm?

387
00:25:04,830 --> 00:25:08,250
Adam Curry: Ah, right now I
remember that. Yeah, it was you

388
00:25:08,250 --> 00:25:08,730
would ask

389
00:25:08,730 --> 00:25:10,950
Dave Jones: transcribe.fm for a
transcript, and it would give

390
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:14,160
you back a transcript from some
other show. You're like what?

391
00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:17,790
Oops. Yeah. And you and then we
figured out that it was because

392
00:25:18,060 --> 00:25:19,680
it was because of this issue. I
wonder

393
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,010
Adam Curry: if pod press has
some pingback that they can that

394
00:25:23,010 --> 00:25:27,420
they can tell their plugin users
like, hey, grayzone acid

395
00:25:27,570 --> 00:25:33,810
Dave Jones: as dyno dot fmoS.
Dan? Oh, yeah. Sorry. The yatris

396
00:25:33,810 --> 00:25:40,080
didn't know that of him. I mean,
he can. Maybe that's commonly we

397
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,970
need Todd to chime in. Yeah.
Yeah.

398
00:25:42,990 --> 00:25:46,410
Adam Curry: Second thing, which
I think is a good thing, and

399
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:55,050
this was a long thread. And this
is something that true fans has

400
00:25:55,050 --> 00:26:02,460
implemented. And I think Dolby
das RSS blue is is implementing

401
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:07,650
it is publisher feeds. This and
I know we've discussed this. So

402
00:26:07,710 --> 00:26:10,740
let me just give you what I
believe publisher feeds, are you

403
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:15,240
correct me or not? Because it's
easier that way, instead of me

404
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,790
interpreting what you just said
about rust. Okay, so publisher

405
00:26:20,790 --> 00:26:25,260
feeds is a feed that will be
marked with a special medium, or

406
00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:27,720
whatever this is, this is a
publisher feed. And it will

407
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,930
mainly have remote item from
remote items in there. So that

408
00:26:33,930 --> 00:26:38,460
you can always go to the
publisher. And so I may be the

409
00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:42,330
publisher of three different
podcasts, I might even be the

410
00:26:42,330 --> 00:26:46,620
publisher of an audio book, etc,
etc. And that would all be in my

411
00:26:46,620 --> 00:26:51,210
publisher feed, which makes
things for podcasting. There's

412
00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:55,800
all kinds of uses, but there's
definitely uses for music. So

413
00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:58,800
the am I do I have that? Right?
That's what a publisher feed is.

414
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,510
Dave Jones: Yeah, well, yeah.
Had this on the list. So I went

415
00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:07,980
to see I wrote down a couple of
notes. Yeah, that the publisher,

416
00:27:08,610 --> 00:27:11,310
they're there. They're valid.
Yeah, right there validation

417
00:27:11,310 --> 00:27:15,180
process. Is there's there's a
feed for publishers that

418
00:27:15,180 --> 00:27:19,440
contains remote items. Yeah.
Yeah. And remote items is

419
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,300
basically a feed of feeds. Yeah,

420
00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:24,330
Adam Curry: exactly. So um, so I
could have a feed of all of my

421
00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:27,870
podcasts. And you could
subscribe to that feed, and

422
00:27:27,870 --> 00:27:32,010
you'd get every new episode from
each podcast that I publish

423
00:27:32,190 --> 00:27:35,820
through that feed if you wanted
to correct?

424
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:47,130
Dave Jones: It? Well. I mean, I
think I think you could code it

425
00:27:47,130 --> 00:27:50,220
Adam Curry: that way. Okay. I
understood, okay. It's more for

426
00:27:50,220 --> 00:27:54,330
display purposes than for under
the hood functionality. But it

427
00:27:54,330 --> 00:27:55,770
could be that way.

428
00:27:56,250 --> 00:27:59,040
Dave Jones: You were the way you
described it as sort of like an

429
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,630
OPML I knew

430
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,110
Adam Curry: it was coming out of
my mouth. I'm like, Dude, I just

431
00:28:04,110 --> 00:28:08,130
I just gave him an OPML feed
now. Okay. But

432
00:28:08,130 --> 00:28:09,840
Dave Jones: I think you could do
that, though. I mean, like,

433
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,810
like, you could code it up that
way where you could look at it.

434
00:28:12,810 --> 00:28:17,430
And then and then like, sort of
parse it. Like, you could go

435
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:20,370
through to the source that yeah,
you could do that. But I don't

436
00:28:20,370 --> 00:28:22,950
know that. That was what their
goal was.

437
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,040
Adam Curry: Something to
consider perhaps. Yeah,

438
00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:28,170
Dave Jones: yeah, for sure. So
well, they had two different

439
00:28:28,170 --> 00:28:31,650
versions. And did you see that
it was like, it was like a

440
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,640
publisher that a publisher feed
and then meet this, these are

441
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,240
mediums we're talking about?
Publisher medium equals

442
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,410
publisher in this feed. So when
that when it's a feed of, of

443
00:28:43,410 --> 00:28:46,200
medium publisher, you know, that
this is basically just a list

444
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:52,830
of, of other feeds where this,
this publisher owns and then

445
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:57,930
there was a publisher l was
like, A, so you have a feed of

446
00:28:57,990 --> 00:29:02,010
other feeds, and then you have
sort of like a playlist of other

447
00:29:02,010 --> 00:29:05,100
feeds, which is more what you're
thinking, kind of like along

448
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:08,700
lines of you're thinking of, oh,
okay, oh, really following?

449
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,270
Alright,

450
00:29:09,270 --> 00:29:11,910
Adam Curry: so there's two, or I
hadn't figured that one out yet.

451
00:29:11,940 --> 00:29:14,460
Okay. So that's very much like
this. That's a playlist because

452
00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:19,110
it's L. So a playlist. Okay. I
don't see why you wouldn't just

453
00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:22,530
have one and just parse a
different one. I guess it's the

454
00:29:22,530 --> 00:29:28,470
same thing. Just seems like, if
you I mean, you'd want it, it

455
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:30,990
seems to me, like you'd want to
have the functionality in both

456
00:29:31,020 --> 00:29:32,040
both cases.

457
00:29:33,270 --> 00:29:37,080
Dave Jones: Well, the sort of
the whole idea here, I think

458
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:42,960
it's I mean, I think it's a good
one to is that you have you

459
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,170
can't you know, you're trying to
avoid this situation where,

460
00:29:46,380 --> 00:29:54,810
okay, I'm I I'm a feed and I
need to and I'm gonna, and I'm

461
00:29:54,810 --> 00:30:02,910
claiming that I'm published by
The New York Times as show that

462
00:30:02,940 --> 00:30:11,130
somewhere in my author tag or
whatever. And then but but um,

463
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,740
but I'm lying about that I
don't, I'm not actually a New

464
00:30:13,740 --> 00:30:17,040
York Times feed, I'm just trying
to ride that train or whatever.

465
00:30:18,330 --> 00:30:22,380
Then you have this, all you have
this other side, which is the

466
00:30:22,380 --> 00:30:28,170
publisher feed, which, if it
lists your feed URL, as part of

467
00:30:28,170 --> 00:30:34,890
its member, as a member, and you
list the publisher feed as your

468
00:30:34,890 --> 00:30:39,210
parent, well, then you have sort
of this dual LIS loose dual

469
00:30:39,210 --> 00:30:41,760
validation, where it's like I'm
saying, I belong to you, and

470
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,140
you're saying that I belong to
you. So we can be, we can be

471
00:30:46,140 --> 00:30:47,160
sure that I belong to you.

472
00:30:47,190 --> 00:30:48,780
Adam Curry: Okay, that makes
sense.

473
00:30:49,860 --> 00:30:51,690
Dave Jones: Because the only
other way to do it is with

474
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,460
something like public, you know,
like a public key signing, right

475
00:30:56,460 --> 00:31:00,180
Adam Curry: work. So where does
that go in the so if I'm the

476
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:04,320
publisher of several podcasts,
and I have no agenda, and I want

477
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,370
to validate no agenda as being a
part of the Adam curry

478
00:31:08,490 --> 00:31:14,310
publishing empire, where where
in my no agenda feed? What I put

479
00:31:14,310 --> 00:31:15,930
what, for that validation.

480
00:31:17,940 --> 00:31:21,150
Dave Jones: But my understanding
was that there was a, there was

481
00:31:21,150 --> 00:31:27,090
a new tag for publisher. Let me
make sure that this right. And

482
00:31:27,090 --> 00:31:29,880
Adam Curry: that, so the tag for
publisher of that would have a

483
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,750
feed URL, and that refers back
and back and forth. And it has a

484
00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:36,720
validation in the publisher,
remote item feed.

485
00:31:37,470 --> 00:31:41,970
Dave Jones: So yes, in the
content. Okay, so here's Yeah,

486
00:31:41,970 --> 00:31:46,740
okay, this is this is. Okay,
here's how I'm looking at it

487
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:50,250
right now. There's a couple of a
couple of proposed ways to do

488
00:31:50,250 --> 00:31:56,160
it. But this one is using remote
items with a medium of

489
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:09,120
publisher. So the remote Yeah.
So the medium of Publisher. Let

490
00:32:09,690 --> 00:32:11,670
me try to this is this gets
confusing when you're trying to

491
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:16,350
just no kidding. describes it.
Okay, you're the New York Times.

492
00:32:17,910 --> 00:32:21,810
Let's use you. Okay, so you are
you are Adam curry. You have

493
00:32:21,810 --> 00:32:27,210
currently what how many 12345?
Podcasts, something

494
00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:27,990
Adam Curry: like that? Yeah.

495
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:30,300
Dave Jones: No agenda,
podcasting tip when no

496
00:32:30,330 --> 00:32:33,420
Adam Curry: learning facts boost
the ground scramble.

497
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,500
Dave Jones: Yeah, the five you
have five shows. So you would

498
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:40,860
put you would, you would create
a new feed, which would be a

499
00:32:40,860 --> 00:32:46,560
publisher, which would be a feed
where it had a podcast medium of

500
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:52,830
Publisher, then you would have
remote items in you would have

501
00:32:52,830 --> 00:32:58,710
five remote items in the channel
of that feed. Yep, the one for

502
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:03,810
each of those shows with
referencing, you know, the feed

503
00:33:03,810 --> 00:33:10,980
good, the URL, the medium. So
then you in each of your shows

504
00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:14,220
where you have in each of the
actual feeds, no agenda,

505
00:33:14,250 --> 00:33:18,000
podcasts and YouTube Topo, Mofaz
blah, blah, blah. In each of

506
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:27,300
those shows, you would put in a
podcast remote item, link back

507
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:31,740
to the publisher feed. And the
remote item would be a medium of

508
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:37,080
Publisher. Okay, that would
serve as a link back to the

509
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,500
parent sort of the the
publishing to publisher parent

510
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,760
feed. To say I belong to this
publisher got

511
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,730
Adam Curry: it? Who is this for?
Who gives a rat's ass about this

512
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,840
is what I'm trying to
understand.

513
00:33:49,650 --> 00:33:54,270
Dave Jones: Musicians primarily.
Okay, good. That makes so yeah,

514
00:33:54,270 --> 00:33:57,870
like you would have. That way
you could have as many fields as

515
00:33:57,870 --> 00:34:00,210
you want. But if you if somebody
wants to say I want to listen to

516
00:34:00,210 --> 00:34:02,280
all the albums by easily
Costello,

517
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,820
Adam Curry: then you go to the
publisher, Okay, God, that makes

518
00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:06,570
total sense.

519
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,450
Dave Jones: And you can follow
it up the chain too. So if

520
00:34:09,450 --> 00:34:13,590
you're on one of her albums, you
have a link by default going to

521
00:34:13,590 --> 00:34:18,330
the publisher feed. So you can
sort of step up one level and

522
00:34:18,330 --> 00:34:20,490
Adam Curry: this a what other
what other albums does Ainslie

523
00:34:20,490 --> 00:34:25,230
Costello have? Exactly? How does
God which could even be a sub

524
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:29,790
sub publisher of like a bigger
entity?

525
00:34:31,469 --> 00:34:31,919
Dave Jones: Yeah,

526
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:35,609
Adam Curry: for sure. So can it
can you include a I guess you

527
00:34:35,609 --> 00:34:39,329
can, um, so she could. She could
be Ainsley Costello. She's a

528
00:34:39,329 --> 00:34:45,749
publisher of all these albums,
but but she is then a sub of

529
00:34:45,749 --> 00:34:50,699
like phantom power records or
whatever. Yeah, so this could

530
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:54,389
put a publisher tag in that
would refer up to her record,

531
00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:58,319
quote, unquote, record label or
whatever the entity is, or which

532
00:34:58,319 --> 00:35:02,459
goes all the way up to God
ultimately Scott's got sitting

533
00:35:02,459 --> 00:35:05,549
at the top with this big
publisher tag and a lot of

534
00:35:05,549 --> 00:35:06,299
remote items.

535
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:09,209
Dave Jones: And in his guid is
is one.

536
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:13,380
Adam Curry: Exactly. Okay.

537
00:35:14,250 --> 00:35:19,470
Dave Jones: So you can see that
as something like what's a good

538
00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:24,270
example of that? Like? Wonder
that wondering, aren't they

539
00:35:24,270 --> 00:35:27,420
owned by Amazon? Yeah, yeah, I
think so. Yeah. Okay. So you

540
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:35,310
could have a wondery Publisher
list, but then Amazon podcasts

541
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:40,890
could be like, one level higher.
Got it. That had multiple

542
00:35:40,890 --> 00:35:45,360
publisher feeds in that feed?
Yeah.

543
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:48,690
Adam Curry: Yeah. Makes sense.
Okay. Well, so what do we need

544
00:35:48,690 --> 00:35:50,610
to do to to make that official?

545
00:35:52,020 --> 00:35:56,100
Dave Jones: Well, I have it on
my list. To put it into that we

546
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:58,380
need to talk about this in
general. So I mean, this is

547
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:06,600
like, for show of 2024. Baby, we
have to talk about strategy. For

548
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:07,800
what for phase seven.

549
00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:17,400
Adam Curry: First, hot namespace
talk. 2024 is hotter than 2023.

550
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:21,450
Dave Jones: The hottest, the
hottest new year on record best,

551
00:36:21,450 --> 00:36:29,520
right? According to the IPCC.
Yes. So we I mean, like, I don't

552
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:34,500
know if we have we haven't faced
seven. I don't know if we've

553
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:38,880
talked about it. Well, we
haven't faced seven so far. Is

554
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,420
only actually I was actually in
the activity pub bridge code

555
00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:46,320
here. And I think I found the
unwrap this that killed us.

556
00:36:47,489 --> 00:36:49,139
Adam Curry: Shirts irritates
you.

557
00:36:52,170 --> 00:36:53,670
Dave Jones: Let me get back to
the namespace repo though.

558
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:57,000
Because I have a have a plan doc
for

559
00:36:58,170 --> 00:37:00,390
Adam Curry: Facebook. He's got a
plan. And he's the man with the

560
00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:02,730
plan. The plan? Okay, here it
is.

561
00:37:03,150 --> 00:37:07,830
Dave Jones: So what we have on
the list right now is to try to

562
00:37:07,830 --> 00:37:13,110
get into Phase seven is
authorization. So this this

563
00:37:13,110 --> 00:37:19,800
podcast, verify ownership tag
thing. Adding keys and addresses

564
00:37:19,980 --> 00:37:25,890
in the value recipient? And
chat, podcast chat

565
00:37:25,889 --> 00:37:28,859
Adam Curry: tag, say again,
given them again, sorry, I was

566
00:37:28,859 --> 00:37:31,229
distracted. Podcast,

567
00:37:32,220 --> 00:37:37,470
Dave Jones: the verify
ownership. And then adding the

568
00:37:37,770 --> 00:37:39,540
adding the keys and address.

569
00:37:39,630 --> 00:37:40,590
Adam Curry: Right, right.

570
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,850
Dave Jones: To the value
received.

571
00:37:42,359 --> 00:37:44,099
Adam Curry: The LV found tag.
Yeah,

572
00:37:44,609 --> 00:37:48,239
Dave Jones: that'll be found
thing. Then the podcast chat

573
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,379
tag, which is the the, you know,
ephemeral version of social

574
00:37:52,379 --> 00:37:56,999
interact. And that's, that's all
this in the plan right now. So

575
00:37:57,299 --> 00:38:02,099
we could, we could get So two
questions. I mean, we add this,

576
00:38:02,489 --> 00:38:04,619
I can add this right now. I
think I should the publisher,

577
00:38:04,619 --> 00:38:04,949
then

578
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,370
Adam Curry: well, we have
implementations. That's usually

579
00:38:08,370 --> 00:38:12,150
our rule. No, right. Now, of
course, that means Sam Sethi

580
00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:14,490
will be driving the entire
namespace because he implements

581
00:38:14,490 --> 00:38:17,700
everything. He wakes up in the
morning. I got an idea. Boom,

582
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:18,990
make it a tag.

583
00:38:21,659 --> 00:38:25,349
Dave Jones: This is what Okay,
the rule we typically was the

584
00:38:25,349 --> 00:38:29,489
loose rule was always we need at
least one host at least one app

585
00:38:29,489 --> 00:38:33,479
to implement it. Yeah. We have
no need to say we made we need

586
00:38:33,479 --> 00:38:36,539
made it expand that to say at
least two apps because Sam's

587
00:38:36,539 --> 00:38:40,559
going to implement everything.
So we need we may need to Sam's

588
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:44,069
the default. We either either
gimme right, so we needed we

589
00:38:44,069 --> 00:38:48,329
need to we need two apps. We
need some we need Sam plus one.

590
00:38:48,629 --> 00:38:48,959
One

591
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Adam Curry: host and two apps or
two hosts on two apps.

592
00:38:52,290 --> 00:38:56,070
Dave Jones: One One host and
then whoever sent the

593
00:38:56,340 --> 00:38:58,950
Adam Curry: Girls One Cup
somehow that just jumped into my

594
00:38:58,950 --> 00:39:02,970
head. I don't know what happened
there. Yes. 221 host two s one

595
00:39:02,970 --> 00:39:05,580
host two apps. Okay, that's that
sounds fair.

596
00:39:07,110 --> 00:39:09,810
Dave Jones: And I think I mean
no well I mean wavelengths

597
00:39:09,810 --> 00:39:12,270
already talking about it. Dobby
Das is the one that yeah,

598
00:39:12,270 --> 00:39:15,000
Adam Curry: he's he's running
with scissors over there. Yeah.

599
00:39:15,780 --> 00:39:15,960
So

600
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,240
Dave Jones: there's there's your
two hosts. There's there's two

601
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:19,530
hosts out there. Yeah.

602
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,540
Adam Curry: So we just need one
more app to implement it

603
00:39:21,929 --> 00:39:24,629
Dave Jones: was I mean, that's
Steven Bell's a slam dunk

604
00:39:24,629 --> 00:39:26,219
because he wants this
functionality.

605
00:39:26,789 --> 00:39:29,489
Adam Curry: Yeah, cuz he will
put it into ln beats and all

606
00:39:29,489 --> 00:39:34,439
that stuff. And curio Kassar by
the way, if I can geniza if I

607
00:39:34,439 --> 00:39:39,389
can just say thank you, Steven b
He made an integration between M

608
00:39:39,389 --> 00:39:43,499
airless which is the playout
software I use and the split

609
00:39:43,499 --> 00:39:48,869
kit. So now, when I end up doing
a Bookstagram ball tomorrow, God

610
00:39:48,869 --> 00:39:53,699
willing, when I hear this been
well, yeah, tell me about it. So

611
00:39:53,699 --> 00:39:57,239
now I just load up the song into
my player. The minute I hit the

612
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:03,209
play button, the timer set The
start time in the split kit. Oh,

613
00:40:03,209 --> 00:40:06,629
well, I no longer have to start
and then go over there and then

614
00:40:06,659 --> 00:40:09,809
click, click to make that the
active block for the remote

615
00:40:09,809 --> 00:40:16,109
item. It just does it and it's
it's like magic. It's beautiful

616
00:40:16,109 --> 00:40:17,849
how he did that is so cool.

617
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:23,370
Dave Jones: Walking. Let's see,
like how did he do that though?

618
00:40:23,370 --> 00:40:26,220
Because I thought I thought in
their list was a compiled like a

619
00:40:26,220 --> 00:40:27,870
Windows software. Yes,

620
00:40:27,870 --> 00:40:33,300
Adam Curry: but you have a see
what it's called here. Because

621
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:37,680
errorless is meant for, you
know, radio type deals. So you

622
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:47,430
have a blogging function, and
you can add stuff to it. So you

623
00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:53,490
could technically send the song
data to your icecast server, but

624
00:40:53,490 --> 00:41:01,200
also as HTTP GET. So you send a
GET request to the curio hoster

625
00:41:01,230 --> 00:41:06,270
with some Steven Bell magic
sauce. Yes. And on the split

626
00:41:06,270 --> 00:41:10,770
kit, you have the answer you
give it a username password pair

627
00:41:10,830 --> 00:41:14,940
in an Error List and that
corresponds with your username

628
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:19,440
password pair in the split kit.
And then when you download the

629
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:25,170
songs through the split kit, the
has metadata in there that

630
00:41:25,170 --> 00:41:32,970
identifies what song it is. And
so you so that is sent to from

631
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,260
Mr. List to the Steven Bell
empire. And then the Steven Bell

632
00:41:37,260 --> 00:41:41,280
Empire goes ah, okay, who's
logged in as this? Oh, it's him.

633
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,420
Boom. WebSocket

634
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,470
Dave Jones: this, this is like

635
00:41:46,469 --> 00:41:49,109
Adam Curry: a web hook. Yeah,
yeah, web hook. I think what is

636
00:41:49,109 --> 00:41:52,469
Yeah, okay. Beautiful. Was who
cares what it is? It works.

637
00:41:53,099 --> 00:41:55,229
Dave Jones: Oh, yeah. That's
rad, though. This is cool that

638
00:41:55,229 --> 00:41:56,309
they have that ability.

639
00:41:56,369 --> 00:41:59,009
Adam Curry: It's, it's yet
again, Rube Goldberg machine.

640
00:42:00,269 --> 00:42:03,929
It's so beautiful. I love this
stuff. I love it so much.

641
00:42:04,589 --> 00:42:08,309
Dave Jones: Okay, so I just
added I just added publisher

642
00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:11,189
phase to phase seven to the plan
list to the

643
00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:16,140
Adam Curry: plan. But we still
need a second app. Well, we have

644
00:42:16,140 --> 00:42:18,990
the we have we have Stephen
Bell, of course. Beautiful. And

645
00:42:18,989 --> 00:42:21,059
Dave Jones: we don't have we
don't have explicit

646
00:42:21,059 --> 00:42:21,839
confirmation. But

647
00:42:24,449 --> 00:42:26,189
Adam Curry: you feel let me see
smiles. You feel me?

648
00:42:26,219 --> 00:42:31,829
Dave Jones: Yeah, it's there.
He's just slammed on. Added

649
00:42:31,829 --> 00:42:34,079
face. Okay. All right. We got
that covered.

650
00:42:34,229 --> 00:42:37,349
Adam Curry: I have something to
discuss. Yeah. What's your

651
00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:44,849
behavior? Dave Jones? No. It's
like one of those honey, we have

652
00:42:44,849 --> 00:42:45,719
to talk. But.

653
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,620
Dave Jones: But no, the worst is
worse than that. When this like,

654
00:42:49,860 --> 00:42:53,760
Hey, can we talk? Oh, no, but
not right. But not right. Later.

655
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:53,970
Can

656
00:42:53,969 --> 00:42:58,379
Adam Curry: we? Can we have a
chat later? Yeah. It's the

657
00:42:58,379 --> 00:43:01,559
worst. I had two of those. I'm
divorced twice. Alright, here we

658
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:06,029
go. So I'm listening to the new
media show. I didn't pull clips.

659
00:43:07,169 --> 00:43:11,249
And he was really quite
beautiful, because I finally

660
00:43:11,249 --> 00:43:16,139
understood not only how messed
up but how the podcast

661
00:43:16,139 --> 00:43:20,279
advertising system works. And
I've always wondered because I

662
00:43:20,279 --> 00:43:25,019
thought everybody was kind of on
this IAB standard. And didn't

663
00:43:25,019 --> 00:43:29,939
really matter where you host
that stuff. But it does. It sure

664
00:43:29,939 --> 00:43:38,039
does. And the IAB standard has
some minimums, which, whatever

665
00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:43,319
it is, they are able to
determine unique download slash

666
00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:47,999
play, like someone hit the play
button. For for a minute of

667
00:43:47,999 --> 00:43:52,199
audio, that's their minimum for
a minute of audio. And they can

668
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:56,609
kind of determine uniqueness by
setting time windows. I think

669
00:43:56,609 --> 00:44:00,809
it's if unless you see that that
identifier come back within two

670
00:44:00,809 --> 00:44:08,759
hours, is considered the same.
The person and everybody has

671
00:44:08,759 --> 00:44:15,029
different implementations of
this IAB standard. And so it's

672
00:44:15,029 --> 00:44:19,859
not uniform at all. And what's
interesting is that the ad

673
00:44:19,859 --> 00:44:24,449
buyers, they have their own
knowledge, they have their own

674
00:44:24,449 --> 00:44:28,079
spreadsheets and they know
exactly, okay, well, those guys,

675
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:32,579
they over count, so we discount
them here. This, you know, we

676
00:44:32,579 --> 00:44:37,499
feel that and I probably think
that blueberry is probably one

677
00:44:37,499 --> 00:44:41,099
of the best at the stats because
Todd has invested by his own

678
00:44:41,669 --> 00:44:46,499
admission of a lot of time and
resources and years and he has a

679
00:44:46,499 --> 00:44:51,149
lot of external sources for you
know, bots and bullcrap and all

680
00:44:51,149 --> 00:44:57,689
kinds of gaming, etc. So, when
people get when, when there's an

681
00:44:57,689 --> 00:45:02,939
ad buy and the podcast is on
blueberry. The advertisers will

682
00:45:02,939 --> 00:45:07,499
probably give the the expected
CPM because they know that

683
00:45:07,499 --> 00:45:10,169
Todd's numbers are pretty good.
weight

684
00:45:10,170 --> 00:45:12,840
Dave Jones: by his he said
multiple times that he throws

685
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,880
out tons of data like yes, he
over he overcorrect. Yes.

686
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:18,930
Purpose. Yes.

687
00:45:19,409 --> 00:45:25,829
Adam Curry: So when the iOS 17,
apocalypse happened, his numbers

688
00:45:25,829 --> 00:45:30,959
didn't really go down because he
has formulas and secret sauce as

689
00:45:30,959 --> 00:45:35,279
he calls it, which I have no
desire to taste. Yes,

690
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,070
Dave Jones: yourselves to
yourself.

691
00:45:40,020 --> 00:45:45,030
Adam Curry: He has secret sauce,
that he says that he has, that

692
00:45:45,030 --> 00:45:50,880
certain apps have certain
behavior that he's bench tested,

693
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,080
you know, over the years, and so
he he can get pretty close to

694
00:45:55,080 --> 00:46:02,250
like 70% or 75% of the actual
listens, have a percentage of

695
00:46:02,490 --> 00:46:05,370
the podcast apps or the person
that the people who are

696
00:46:05,370 --> 00:46:10,140
listening to that podcast, which
is pretty good. And I'm sure

697
00:46:10,140 --> 00:46:13,110
that it varies. And I'm sure
that you know, when when, when

698
00:46:13,140 --> 00:46:16,950
there's an upgrade to some
player, I'm sure he has to go in

699
00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:19,140
and everyone has to scramble
around and figure out does

700
00:46:19,140 --> 00:46:23,760
something change, etc. But it's
all the bottom line is, it's all

701
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,410
bull crap. All of it is all
ultimately just measuring one

702
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,500
minute of download, which of
course gives the advertiser

703
00:46:31,740 --> 00:46:36,090
really nothing. And, you know,
the industry has moved from

704
00:46:36,090 --> 00:46:40,500
calling it downloads to plays.
Okay, so on the hit play, but

705
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:42,810
they really don't know if
someone listened at all. I mean,

706
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:48,030
nobody absolutely knows if
people are listening, or how far

707
00:46:48,030 --> 00:46:50,550
they've listened into the
podcast, or if they listened far

708
00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:55,020
enough to hear the ads. I mean,
that's, that's clear. And, and

709
00:46:55,020 --> 00:47:00,150
so ultimately, when you pop all
the way back up the stack, the

710
00:47:00,150 --> 00:47:03,450
advertisers themselves who go
through the media, or the agency

711
00:47:03,450 --> 00:47:07,140
to the media buyer, ultimately
down to either the podcast

712
00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:12,090
network, or whoever's doing the
buys. And so they they wind up a

713
00:47:12,090 --> 00:47:15,810
bet, blueberry, and blueberry
says, Okay, here's how our stats

714
00:47:15,810 --> 00:47:18,060
work. This is we're going to
give you in the results. And

715
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,000
there's a reckoning after the
fact and that reckoning is,

716
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:28,080
okay, we agreed on for your
network, we do $20 CPM, so $20

717
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:33,810
per 1000 plays. But if we did a
buy and also include something

718
00:47:33,810 --> 00:47:36,720
that's on Libsyn, I have no
idea. So I'm just using Lipson

719
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:41,280
as an example. They may say,
Well, we only give you $15 CPM,

720
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,940
because we know that your
numbers are shit. And so yeah,

721
00:47:44,940 --> 00:47:47,490
pretty much and they may not.
And they may not communicate

722
00:47:47,490 --> 00:47:50,100
that for between blueberry and
Lipson. So this really works

723
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:54,090
more by podcast host, or in a
case of like megaphone, let's

724
00:47:54,090 --> 00:47:57,360
just call them the host. So and
there's it's very complicated.

725
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,390
There's a lot of overheads, a
lot of log file processing.

726
00:48:00,570 --> 00:48:03,330
Seems like millions and millions
have been invested in that. But

727
00:48:03,330 --> 00:48:08,430
there's no, Nielsen, there is no
Nielsen for podcast statistics.

728
00:48:08,700 --> 00:48:11,490
I thought there was I thought
that what AIB was, but it's not

729
00:48:11,490 --> 00:48:15,060
true. And but there's an
adjustment that that media

730
00:48:15,060 --> 00:48:18,450
buyers who of course, are very
smart. They know all right,

731
00:48:18,450 --> 00:48:21,510
those guys over count those guys
simply to raise pretty

732
00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:23,430
reasonable I don't know what
that spreadsheet looks like,

733
00:48:23,430 --> 00:48:28,080
doesn't matter. But nobody
really knows play numbers. And

734
00:48:28,140 --> 00:48:30,870
so they had this long
conversation, Rob seemed kind of

735
00:48:30,870 --> 00:48:34,650
shocked by this. Rob seemed
shocked that Todd was admitting

736
00:48:34,650 --> 00:48:38,910
that it's crap. But Todd doesn't
care. Because all the people who

737
00:48:38,970 --> 00:48:43,350
are on his on his
infrastructure, they get good

738
00:48:43,350 --> 00:48:48,720
numbers and advertisers feel, or
media buyers feel confident that

739
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:52,500
those numbers are good. Now,
ultimately, the advertiser,

740
00:48:52,860 --> 00:48:56,160
they'll look at their return on
investment, which is the typical

741
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,150
half of my advertising money is
working. I don't know which half

742
00:49:00,180 --> 00:49:03,450
because they really don't. All
they know is they put X amount

743
00:49:03,450 --> 00:49:07,140
in and then sales went up.
That's how it's supposed to work

744
00:49:07,170 --> 00:49:11,190
now, where that comes from, that
comes into analysis. And it

745
00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:13,800
could be you know, did it come
from Tiktok, but they may know

746
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,900
some things. So all of this is
very, very, very fuzzy. And then

747
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:21,870
they get into this big
conversation about nobody has

748
00:49:21,870 --> 00:49:24,900
player stats, nobody has player
stats yet. Well, actually,

749
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:31,590
Spotify does, but Spotify. Who
knows what they're doing. And I

750
00:49:31,590 --> 00:49:36,120
just want to say up front, I
love value for value. I think it

751
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:41,280
is the way forward in general,
for all media for all media.

752
00:49:42,690 --> 00:49:46,380
It's a fair way to do it. Only
the stuff that is really

753
00:49:46,380 --> 00:49:49,680
outstanding product and can
build a community because we're

754
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,290
not in the land of one way
television. We're not in the

755
00:49:52,290 --> 00:49:56,850
land of one way radio is
interactive. You only get people

756
00:49:56,850 --> 00:49:59,550
to support you with time, talent
and treasure which by the way

757
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,540
Time, and talent is very
valuable. You know, there are

758
00:50:03,540 --> 00:50:07,290
people who are do things for my
shows that would I could not

759
00:50:07,290 --> 00:50:11,460
afford, no matter how much money
I made on the podcast. So it's,

760
00:50:11,490 --> 00:50:14,820
it's, it's also very valuable. I
love value for value that's in

761
00:50:14,820 --> 00:50:19,500
my heart. I am not anti
marketing, I'm just not, you

762
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:24,600
can't be the world, the economy
runs on marketing. What I'm

763
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:31,860
against is that the podcast
industrial complex, completely

764
00:50:31,860 --> 00:50:37,380
ignores, in fact, is very rude
towards the audience, and

765
00:50:37,410 --> 00:50:42,390
ignores the relationship that
can and should exist between

766
00:50:42,390 --> 00:50:47,100
between the podcaster and the
audience. That relationship is

767
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:51,960
everything. And what I mean by
that is if I say, Please boost

768
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:58,470
us people boost us, if I say,
Please, use this app, a portion

769
00:50:58,470 --> 00:51:01,350
of the audience goes to use that
app, I do that every single no

770
00:51:01,350 --> 00:51:05,310
agenda show you and if you go
look at op three for no agenda

771
00:51:05,310 --> 00:51:08,400
show, you'll see that pod verse
is very high. Up Now I've

772
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:13,110
started talking about podcast
guru. And so it works. And this

773
00:51:13,110 --> 00:51:16,650
is the this is the relationship.
If I say go buy this product. If

774
00:51:16,650 --> 00:51:19,650
I if I was honest, and I'm
authentic, I think people go buy

775
00:51:19,650 --> 00:51:24,960
that product. Yeah. So the way
that has worked out with

776
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,890
advertising, I'm just gonna say
marketing, because it's more

777
00:51:28,890 --> 00:51:32,490
fair to say marketing than
advertising. But he's really, I

778
00:51:32,490 --> 00:51:35,400
know, this sucks. I'm gonna
throw these ads in your face,

779
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,120
but you're supporting us. That's
not a way to go. This very

780
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:43,560
negative, very negative
relationship. And even if even

781
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,490
the podcasters say it, they
forget the stupid, they forget

782
00:51:47,490 --> 00:51:50,880
to even say that. Now there's a
lot of podcasts say, hey, you

783
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,880
know, I gotta I got advertisers,
please visit their websites. I'm

784
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,510
gonna read off their names. Now.
Whatever it is. It's irritating,

785
00:51:57,510 --> 00:52:03,900
but it feels better. But the one
thing that nobody has, is those

786
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:06,720
player stats except we do.

787
00:52:08,099 --> 00:52:11,519
Dave Jones: And who we we are
against index?

788
00:52:12,060 --> 00:52:16,200
Adam Curry: Well, let me start
about me first. I have extremely

789
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:21,690
valuable play statistics. Of all
my podcasts, in fact, DeVore I

790
00:52:21,690 --> 00:52:24,660
can I use it regularly? Because
when people are streaming

791
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:29,100
Satoshis per minute, is it the
whole audience? No. Is it a

792
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:32,700
percentage of the audience? Yes.
Can I make a reasonable

793
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:38,220
assumption? So for example, I
look at it, I never look at

794
00:52:38,220 --> 00:52:40,770
downloads. I mean, once in a
while, I look at just what what

795
00:52:40,770 --> 00:52:45,120
does op three say for, you know,
the overall monthly unique users

796
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,910
or audience whatever it is, it's
it's interesting doesn't Matt

797
00:52:47,910 --> 00:52:53,100
doesn't pay my rent. And I'll go
look at the I'll go into

798
00:52:53,790 --> 00:52:58,290
contracts dot app, because I
have a split for from no agenda

799
00:52:58,290 --> 00:53:03,600
into Alby. And then I can look
at my per show, I can look at a

800
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,410
range of shows and say where
people dropping off. And it's

801
00:53:07,410 --> 00:53:12,150
very, and we've noticed that it
doesn't matter. If we we've

802
00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:18,090
moved art, our donation segment
to the end of the show. Now, for

803
00:53:18,090 --> 00:53:20,940
a while though, it was for a
couple of reasons. One, they

804
00:53:20,940 --> 00:53:25,740
were getting pretty long. And we
would feel rushed, if we did it

805
00:53:25,830 --> 00:53:29,280
midway the show, like and then
we start getting irritated by

806
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:34,500
longer notes, etc. And we moved
it to the back. And and so the

807
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:36,960
two things you look at is one,
did we get a drop off in

808
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,200
revenue? No. But did we get a
drop off on people listening?

809
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,370
No. Interestingly, people would
come back. And that, of course,

810
00:53:44,370 --> 00:53:49,560
is people who have supported the
show. And so we use these, and

811
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,410
this per minute, and you can
really see it'd be every show

812
00:53:52,410 --> 00:53:56,790
people drop off over time.
That's normal. But it's very,

813
00:53:56,790 --> 00:54:03,660
very valuable for how we how I
run my, my podcasts to know what

814
00:54:03,660 --> 00:54:06,330
people are doing. And I'm, and
I'm sitting there realizing

815
00:54:06,330 --> 00:54:12,090
like, holy crap, this is exactly
the data that marketers want to

816
00:54:12,090 --> 00:54:17,670
see. They want to know, where
people listening when my ad

817
00:54:17,670 --> 00:54:25,440
played. Right. So interestingly
enough, yes, podcasts index does

818
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:30,420
have that data. Because what
most of it, most of the apps get

819
00:54:30,420 --> 00:54:36,300
the value block from the index
from our API. We hand off and

820
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:40,650
the deal is you're using our
API. So we want 1%. So every

821
00:54:40,650 --> 00:54:45,810
payment, we actually have that
data for every single podcast

822
00:54:45,810 --> 00:54:50,820
that uses the value for value,
streaming, Satoshi system. Now,

823
00:54:50,850 --> 00:54:52,170
right, I don't want to become

824
00:54:52,770 --> 00:54:56,070
Dave Jones: I will say that, let
me just throw that in that. This

825
00:54:56,070 --> 00:54:59,100
is per it's totally anonymized
data as well.

826
00:54:59,129 --> 00:55:02,159
Adam Curry: This is very this is
Key, the only thing we have is a

827
00:55:02,159 --> 00:55:06,659
username, which often is
anonymous podcast guru user or

828
00:55:06,659 --> 00:55:12,149
user 35924. Lots of times people
put their their aliases in

829
00:55:12,149 --> 00:55:15,299
Sometimes people put their
actual name in. But it is, in

830
00:55:15,299 --> 00:55:19,919
this effect anonymous, that we
can't actually track much other

831
00:55:19,919 --> 00:55:24,059
than you sent this. If you sent
a message, here's what the

832
00:55:24,059 --> 00:55:28,289
message was, here's what podcast
it was from. And now with value

833
00:55:28,289 --> 00:55:33,389
time splits, we often know at
what point in the in the know we

834
00:55:33,389 --> 00:55:38,849
always we know what point in the
podcast what, what minutes, etc,

835
00:55:38,849 --> 00:55:39,539
it was sent.

836
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:41,610
Dave Jones: There's no IP
addresses, there's

837
00:55:41,609 --> 00:55:43,769
Adam Curry: no nothing, none of
that. There's no There's no now

838
00:55:43,859 --> 00:55:47,999
if I'm just before I continue
with my with my rant here, if

839
00:55:47,999 --> 00:55:51,299
I'm not mistaken, although it
hasn't been implemented, there

840
00:55:51,299 --> 00:55:56,879
is a way for these value
payments to be sent that the

841
00:55:56,879 --> 00:56:02,009
podcaster could hit reply and
send a payment back with a

842
00:56:02,009 --> 00:56:07,799
message. Am I correct? Yes. But
almost no one is doing that, or

843
00:56:07,829 --> 00:56:09,959
what are we missing for that
piece to work?

844
00:56:11,250 --> 00:56:15,540
Dave Jones: Well, I don't know
how many apps do it currently I

845
00:56:15,540 --> 00:56:19,890
know that we have I know that. I
know that curio caster does and

846
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:25,920
will also Steven bass apps, we
can look in the we can we can

847
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,940
look in the boost in the
donation segment. And we can see

848
00:56:30,030 --> 00:56:35,640
because in with any any booths
that comes in, where we where we

849
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,490
read it in the in the segment,
it also has some debugging

850
00:56:38,490 --> 00:56:42,240
information that shows what all
is in the TLV record. And one of

851
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:45,750
the things that's in the to V
that would show up is and I

852
00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:49,980
noticed them as I'm reading them
is if it has a reply to address

853
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,370
and if it has the reply to case
and address then you can you can

854
00:56:53,370 --> 00:56:54,000
boost back.

855
00:56:54,030 --> 00:56:58,680
Adam Curry: Yes, I see. Okay, so
curio caster has reply, address,

856
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,700
custom key custom value, etc.
Okay, and let me see fountain

857
00:57:02,730 --> 00:57:06,420
probably doesn't it's probably
only curio caster, the doing

858
00:57:06,420 --> 00:57:13,440
okay, so that. So that's
possible. Imagine now, we're not

859
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,650
going to become a statistics
provider for anybody. We're not

860
00:57:16,650 --> 00:57:22,230
interested in that. But I can
imagine a system, remember the

861
00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:25,680
most important part that
everyone's overlooking in the

862
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,520
podcast industrial complex, and
I'm trying to offer a solution

863
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,380
at the same time and onboarding
into the value for value system.

864
00:57:35,790 --> 00:57:41,220
If, if a podcaster has a tag
they can put into their feed,

865
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:46,590
which would be part of a remote
item. But I will just put it

866
00:57:46,590 --> 00:57:53,640
this way. It would serve as a
toggle feed in the app, which

867
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,430
means I listened to add I'm
gonna say insertions just to

868
00:57:56,430 --> 00:57:59,760
make it simple. There's other
ways of doing it. But to toggle

869
00:57:59,790 --> 00:58:05,460
add insertions on or off. If I
if I toggle it on, that means

870
00:58:05,460 --> 00:58:11,970
I'm going to get the inserted
ad. And at the minute that ad

871
00:58:11,970 --> 00:58:17,580
plays. It's a value time split,
which fires off a payment to a

872
00:58:17,580 --> 00:58:21,480
wallet that the advertiser media
agency, whoever's responsible

873
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,950
for the tracking can see. Which
then immediately fires off a

874
00:58:25,950 --> 00:58:29,520
Return Payment. Thank you for
listening to our ad.

875
00:58:31,530 --> 00:58:35,550
Dave Jones: A Whitney, so Okay,
so So you're basically you're

876
00:58:35,580 --> 00:58:40,050
okay, you say you're, you're
sending, let's just say one set,

877
00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:45,000
you're sending one set to the
advertiser wallet, who then

878
00:58:45,150 --> 00:58:50,190
Adam Curry: they send you five
set. So here's from the high

879
00:58:50,190 --> 00:58:56,580
level, you can support us with
value for value. Or if you

880
00:58:56,580 --> 00:59:01,320
toggle the switch, we're going
to work you can in the

881
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,960
onboarding part, you can go
pretty far down the road, like,

882
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:06,990
we'll give you a wallet
automatically will give you a

883
00:59:06,990 --> 00:59:10,590
wallet with 1000. SAS has a lot
of things you can do. The point

884
00:59:10,590 --> 00:59:14,910
is to onboard people simply
effectively and easily. If you

885
00:59:14,910 --> 00:59:19,830
toggle ads on, then the minute
you listen to an ad, it will

886
00:59:19,830 --> 00:59:24,210
fire off a payment, if you will
actually it will pay you for

887
00:59:24,210 --> 00:59:27,810
listening to that ad, not a lot.
But when I look at the stats

888
00:59:27,810 --> 00:59:33,930
that we have, of course of all
the apps fountain is is miles

889
00:59:33,930 --> 00:59:37,560
ahead and transaction volume not
in payment volume necessarily,

890
00:59:38,010 --> 00:59:41,490
but in transaction volume. And I
believe that's because the

891
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:46,770
onboarding that they do with
listen to any old podcast, and

892
00:59:46,770 --> 00:59:49,290
we'll pay you a Satoshi per
minute, which is not every

893
00:59:49,290 --> 00:59:53,460
single day etc. Because they
have to manage that too. But But

894
00:59:53,460 --> 00:59:58,590
I think that onboarding has been
extremely successful. So I just

895
00:59:58,590 --> 01:00:02,820
want to onboard people And
ultimately, the cost of sending

896
01:00:03,060 --> 01:00:07,050
one sat back, if you do a loop
or five SATs doesn't matter has

897
01:00:07,050 --> 01:00:11,250
to come out of the CPM. But I
believe that that CPM will

898
01:00:11,250 --> 01:00:17,730
become more valuable. If it's
wrapped up in actual play stats

899
01:00:17,730 --> 01:00:23,010
where the advertiser has
confirmation that a person

900
01:00:23,670 --> 01:00:28,680
listen to that ad. And you don't
even have it will only track the

901
01:00:28,710 --> 01:00:32,340
remote item, it won't track. You
know, the rest of your listening

902
01:00:32,340 --> 01:00:34,620
habits. Of course, we could do
that. And there's lots of other

903
01:00:34,620 --> 01:00:40,260
things we could do. But all I'm
trying to say here is we have a

904
01:00:40,260 --> 01:00:45,690
universe of apps that return
player information that people

905
01:00:45,690 --> 01:00:52,140
are already doing. Let's make it
official, add the Add tag. So

906
01:00:52,170 --> 01:00:55,080
would surface it. Yeah, I'll
listen to your ad. If if it's

907
01:00:55,110 --> 01:00:58,680
off, no insertion, how about
that I'm just it's a crazy

908
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,710
thought it was off no insertion
that people are doing value for

909
01:01:01,710 --> 01:01:05,820
value. If it's on, you get an
insertion, a payment fires off,

910
01:01:06,210 --> 01:01:12,390
you'll probably have maybe if
we're really lucky, maybe 1% of

911
01:01:12,390 --> 01:01:16,200
all listens across the board.
But just like Todd has some

912
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:21,480
secret sauce, you could add this
in. I mean, I think that would

913
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:26,610
make the I want to destroy all
other distribution systems and

914
01:01:26,610 --> 01:01:30,960
networks, okay, I want to
destroy them. The way we destroy

915
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:35,220
them is by making very
accountable advertising work.

916
01:01:36,270 --> 01:01:40,650
And it doesn't take away from
value for value. But in fact, it

917
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:46,410
onboards people to value for
value gives podcasters an extra

918
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:50,190
revenue stream, if they don't
have any ads or don't want ads,

919
01:01:50,490 --> 01:01:54,000
it can fund wallets, it can do a
lot of things. I have no idea

920
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,940
how to take this further other
than it would probably be a

921
01:01:56,940 --> 01:02:01,050
wallet provider who would have
to create this system. But

922
01:02:01,050 --> 01:02:06,240
everybody can when everybody's
incentivized, especially if the

923
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,850
podcaster communicates to their
audience.

924
01:02:15,389 --> 01:02:22,289
Dave Jones: of okay, I thought I
mean, I guess the first thing

925
01:02:22,289 --> 01:02:29,339
that pops out is I say that I
listened to your ad, which sends

926
01:02:29,339 --> 01:02:33,059
a set to you and I get five sets
back that. I mean, that's just

927
01:02:33,539 --> 01:02:36,659
how you can avoid the the amount
of the massive click for all to

928
01:02:36,659 --> 01:02:37,469
happens with that.

929
01:02:38,189 --> 01:02:40,679
Adam Curry: I mean, there's all
kinds of things that I'm you

930
01:02:40,679 --> 01:02:43,439
know what I bet you Oscar has
already figured out a lot of the

931
01:02:43,439 --> 01:02:46,199
click fraud stuff, of course,
but we have click fraud

932
01:02:46,199 --> 01:02:50,459
everywhere. We already have it.
So that will that could be we

933
01:02:50,460 --> 01:02:58,770
Dave Jones: don't but we don't
have click fraud. Well, this,

934
01:02:58,860 --> 01:03:02,970
this is a direct Well, if you're
an advertiser, and you have

935
01:03:02,970 --> 01:03:09,270
downloads, you can say. You can
say x percentage of these

936
01:03:09,270 --> 01:03:11,700
downloads are fake. I'm not
paying for this, which

937
01:03:11,700 --> 01:03:13,740
Adam Curry: is this, which is
the stuff that Todd already

938
01:03:13,740 --> 01:03:16,590
does. He already knows this.
Right.

939
01:03:16,620 --> 01:03:19,380
Dave Jones: But then, but if
you're but if it's a direct

940
01:03:19,380 --> 01:03:22,050
transaction, then you can't

941
01:03:22,290 --> 01:03:25,860
Adam Curry: get that back. Okay.
Well, let's take let's take that

942
01:03:25,860 --> 01:03:31,710
part out. Okay, whatever the
incentive is, we have a system

943
01:03:31,710 --> 01:03:36,240
that nobody has, we have a
minute by minute payment system

944
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,700
that can send this information
completely anonymous. You know,

945
01:03:41,730 --> 01:03:45,870
don't send something back right
away, you know, stored up

946
01:03:45,870 --> 01:03:49,020
whatever. Yeah, I mean, there's
a million ways to do the incent

947
01:03:49,050 --> 01:03:52,380
incentivized maybe you don't
have to do that. Click this on

948
01:03:52,980 --> 01:03:56,010
me oh, by the way, you know, you
get it you get a free podcast

949
01:03:56,010 --> 01:03:58,020
wallet, which you can do
something with I mean, there's,

950
01:03:58,230 --> 01:04:01,410
there's a lot of different with,
maybe I should just retract the

951
01:04:01,410 --> 01:04:09,720
incentive. Right now. There are
15 apps 15, maybe 15 apps that

952
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:15,480
have play statistics by minute
that no one is even thinking

953
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:22,470
about as being useful for
advertising. Statistical uses.

954
01:04:24,270 --> 01:04:27,750
Dave Jones: Okay, so the setting
aside the incentive thing for a

955
01:04:27,750 --> 01:04:32,880
second the other thing that's
that popped out was so I'm full

956
01:04:32,910 --> 01:04:36,000
I'm putting on my full cynic hat
here. You're trying to play you

957
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,340
Adam Curry: have to you have to
and

958
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,230
Dave Jones: in the cynic in me
says, do the advertisers

959
01:04:43,230 --> 01:04:46,470
themselves even want accurate
numbers? Ah, well,

960
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,030
Adam Curry: this popped up for
me too. Nobody may actually want

961
01:04:51,030 --> 01:04:53,670
to have these numbers which
would be which would be handy

962
01:04:53,670 --> 01:04:58,050
too, because then everything
falls apart. And the only real

963
01:04:58,050 --> 01:05:00,960
way to measure stuff is direct
response. was like cold bond

964
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:05,220
genome. I mean, that's basically
the ultimate. But right now,

965
01:05:05,250 --> 01:05:09,210
Dave Jones: if you're an ad
buyer for Nike, and you buy

966
01:05:09,810 --> 01:05:15,510
that, and you say, Okay, I'm
going to spend $700,000, across

967
01:05:15,510 --> 01:05:22,710
these audio, mediums, and I'm
going to get to 250,002, that is

968
01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:26,670
going to be in the pot in
podcasts. And look at all these

969
01:05:26,670 --> 01:05:33,150
downloads, we got it for
250,000, or for $200,000, we

970
01:05:33,150 --> 01:05:37,170
got, you know, we get 2 million
downloads, like if, if that

971
01:05:37,170 --> 01:05:43,650
actually translates into
300,000, then you as the ad

972
01:05:43,650 --> 01:05:46,740
buyer may not want your boss to
see the accurate number, you may

973
01:05:46,740 --> 01:05:49,830
want to, you may want the
inflated number. Bottom

974
01:05:49,829 --> 01:05:52,319
Adam Curry: line, you're
absolutely right, people may not

975
01:05:52,319 --> 01:05:56,969
want to actually know. But what
I find interesting, and maybe

976
01:05:56,969 --> 01:06:01,559
this is something for Spurlock
to do, what I find interesting

977
01:06:01,739 --> 01:06:06,569
is that I don't need an agency
or anybody else or a podcast

978
01:06:06,569 --> 01:06:10,439
host to tell me the listening
behavior of my audience, I can

979
01:06:10,439 --> 01:06:14,609
look at it myself. The I can
talk directly to an agency or an

980
01:06:14,609 --> 01:06:19,229
ad buyer and say, well, of my
downloads on Obama unique

981
01:06:19,259 --> 01:06:24,839
audience on op three, which is
okay, no agenda 900,000 unique

982
01:06:24,839 --> 01:06:27,299
per month, whatever it means, I
don't know what it means. But

983
01:06:27,299 --> 01:06:32,579
it's a number. And I can say of
that audience, I have 3%, it may

984
01:06:32,579 --> 01:06:40,439
be higher. I have 3% that stream
me SATs every single minute. So

985
01:06:40,439 --> 01:06:44,729
I can say I have a reasonable
expectation that this is the

986
01:06:44,729 --> 01:06:51,269
behavior of the other 97%. The
higher that number, the better

987
01:06:51,269 --> 01:06:56,219
it is, of course. I mean, this
is very powerful stuff that no

988
01:06:56,219 --> 01:06:59,129
one's thinking of. And they're
all running around doing

989
01:06:59,219 --> 01:07:03,539
formulas and beating each other
over the head and back rooms at

990
01:07:03,749 --> 01:07:07,319
at NAB to come up with some
formula that ultimately only

991
01:07:07,319 --> 01:07:10,409
measures one minute of download
every two hours.

992
01:07:11,699 --> 01:07:15,869
Dave Jones: Yeah. Does it feel
like nuts? I think you're on to

993
01:07:15,869 --> 01:07:21,539
Sunday. I mean, it may there's
something there. It's, there's a

994
01:07:21,539 --> 01:07:25,529
way to there's get, you know,
there's a way to harness this

995
01:07:25,529 --> 01:07:29,909
is. Okay, so back to basics for
a second. I mean, what you're

996
01:07:29,909 --> 01:07:37,889
talking about is, is lightning
as a as a perfectly anonymized

997
01:07:37,919 --> 01:07:44,129
way to see what's happening with
your show? Yes. And

998
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,380
Adam Curry: listening minutes.
Let's put it that way how far

999
01:07:46,380 --> 01:07:49,560
someone listens in. Okay. But
let's forget everything I said

1000
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,740
before, was probably a better is
probably a bad way to start it

1001
01:07:52,740 --> 01:08:00,480
off. How about this? If I send a
split to OP three? I want open

1002
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:05,280
by the way. The apps not doing
anything creepy? No, what no app

1003
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:10,440
wants to do creepy tracking? No,
no one wants to be creepy. But

1004
01:08:10,620 --> 01:08:13,440
But I have my numbers and
whether I'm looking at download

1005
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,560
statistics. And oh, I have five
people in Lithuania. I've

1006
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,190
technically am creepily trying
to figure out where people are

1007
01:08:20,190 --> 01:08:23,160
coming from and how many
downloads I'm getting, etc. So

1008
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,850
it's not like this is out of the
ordinary. Now I have one extra

1009
01:08:26,850 --> 01:08:31,740
piece of data. If I were to give
op three a split, I would I

1010
01:08:31,740 --> 01:08:35,970
would personally love to have
that tape pulled up into the

1011
01:08:35,970 --> 01:08:40,980
stats. So I can get based upon
pure averages. I mean, it's it's

1012
01:08:40,980 --> 01:08:45,270
just it's numbers. It's averages
of how many? What percentage of

1013
01:08:45,270 --> 01:08:50,760
that 900,000 On no agenda is
streaming SATs per minute. You

1014
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,870
know, wrap that up and tell me
Well, it seems like you probably

1015
01:08:54,870 --> 01:08:59,610
have this many minutes listen to
of each podcast. And this is

1016
01:08:59,610 --> 01:09:03,120
your average drop off. And
here's kind of what it is after

1017
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,960
five minutes, 10 minutes, 30
minutes, an hour, etc. This is

1018
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:12,570
valuable data. All I'm saying is
that if you're doing value for

1019
01:09:12,570 --> 01:09:17,400
value, do value for value. But
if you want to use the same

1020
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:22,140
mechanism to get player stats,
there's ways that that can be

1021
01:09:22,140 --> 01:09:25,170
packaged and manage and
incentivize for everybody. Does

1022
01:09:25,170 --> 01:09:29,400
that make sense? Yeah, because
it's, it's like the red tag

1023
01:09:29,550 --> 01:09:32,460
that, you know, that failed,
like, oh, that players will send

1024
01:09:32,460 --> 01:09:35,700
back this little tag and every
No, no one did that. But we have

1025
01:09:35,700 --> 01:09:41,160
15 apps, you know, and
podcasters Hey, please use these

1026
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,610
apps. You helped me with my
advertisers this there's so many

1027
01:09:44,610 --> 01:09:49,170
things that podcasters aren't
doing to promote their own

1028
01:09:49,170 --> 01:09:53,820
welfare. Right. This is a this
is an it could be done with as I

1029
01:09:53,820 --> 01:09:56,460
said with just a value time
split, you know, that fires it

1030
01:09:56,460 --> 01:10:00,000
off only when you listen to the
ad. All these things can be

1031
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,740
Done. Give me a hey, you know, I
mean, all I'm seeing is the

1032
01:10:04,740 --> 01:10:08,040
exact thing that Todd and Rob
are bitching about that no one

1033
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:13,710
has we have across 15 apps. And
actually, the index has a whole

1034
01:10:13,710 --> 01:10:18,180
range, that we're not going to
use that. But but that's the

1035
01:10:18,180 --> 01:10:21,570
idea you could have, you could
have a separate entity that is

1036
01:10:21,570 --> 01:10:26,010
the nonprofit, these the
podcasts, that nonprofit, who

1037
01:10:26,010 --> 01:10:29,880
gets a 1% of everything, and
does compile that I mean, which

1038
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,340
would be opt in is there's so
many things that can be done.

1039
01:10:32,550 --> 01:10:38,490
The point is, the information is
there, the mechanism is there.

1040
01:10:40,110 --> 01:10:43,200
So whereas if you have a podcast
where you don't feel like doing

1041
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:48,480
value for value, you can use the
same mechanism. Without anyone

1042
01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:50,880
taking a penny out of their
pocket, you can use the

1043
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,000
mechanism to get the statistics
that you want.

1044
01:10:55,800 --> 01:11:01,170
Dave Jones: Again, get I guess I
just see this as the as

1045
01:11:01,230 --> 01:11:06,840
envisioned at the moment in my
head. This seems very binary.

1046
01:11:07,890 --> 01:11:15,420
Like, like it's is either an all
or nothing thing. You go in,

1047
01:11:15,450 --> 01:11:19,920
you're either you're either
value for value at that point,

1048
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,850
and then there's no way to get
somebody to listen to the ads

1049
01:11:23,850 --> 01:11:26,160
without incentivizing. Oh, so
you do you

1050
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,590
Adam Curry: listen to the Linux
unplugged? Do you listen to

1051
01:11:28,590 --> 01:11:31,230
Jupiter broadcasting? Do you
screen them set?

1052
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:32,130
Unknown: Yes.

1053
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,790
Adam Curry: Do they have
marketing? Yes. So that's not

1054
01:11:35,820 --> 01:11:36,870
true what you just said.

1055
01:11:37,410 --> 01:11:44,280
Dave Jones: But that is that is
a function of so that is that's

1056
01:11:44,370 --> 01:11:49,440
if you turn on was like, Well,
let me clarify the, you

1057
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:52,980
mentioned sort of like enabling
this thing as a feature.

1058
01:11:53,310 --> 01:11:55,920
Adam Curry: Just one way that as
I said, this is just one way of

1059
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:00,840
doing this. I mean, right now,
if I were Jupiter broadcasting,

1060
01:12:00,870 --> 01:12:04,530
I would go to Linode. And I
would say, Hey, here's the

1061
01:12:04,530 --> 01:12:08,880
percentage of people who are
streaming SATs, and who were

1062
01:12:08,910 --> 01:12:11,370
doing that while listening to
your ad. And I would say it's,

1063
01:12:11,370 --> 01:12:14,970
uh, you know, 0.1% of our
audience, but this gives you an

1064
01:12:14,970 --> 01:12:20,370
idea. This, you can extrapolate
that. And by the way, you don't

1065
01:12:20,370 --> 01:12:22,740
mind I know you don't because
you love those guys.

1066
01:12:23,370 --> 01:12:26,370
Dave Jones: Oh, yeah. That's why
Listen, yeah. To the ads and

1067
01:12:26,370 --> 01:12:28,650
stream sets through the air.
Exactly,

1068
01:12:28,650 --> 01:12:31,410
Adam Curry: exactly. This is my
point. It's the relationship

1069
01:12:31,410 --> 01:12:35,940
between the podcaster. And the
audience that makes it work. Not

1070
01:12:35,940 --> 01:12:38,820
that not everything else sucks.
So

1071
01:12:38,820 --> 01:12:42,030
Dave Jones: you're saying if the
podcaster explains this, and

1072
01:12:42,030 --> 01:12:48,510
says, Look, if you're using a
value for value app, here, the

1073
01:12:48,540 --> 01:12:53,730
the advertisers can tell if your
Listen, which helps us. Of

1074
01:12:53,730 --> 01:12:58,440
course, okay, that's, of course,
this is so much layout, I

1075
01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:00,510
appreciate that angle on it,
because

1076
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,020
Adam Curry: it's still value for
value, the hope there's no way

1077
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,420
our audience is not big enough,
you're not boosting enough for

1078
01:13:06,420 --> 01:13:09,930
me to do this full time. We have
Linode as a sponsor, we'd love

1079
01:13:09,930 --> 01:13:13,290
to tell them, you know that
people are listening. If you

1080
01:13:13,290 --> 01:13:17,040
don't, if you don't boost us
10,000 SATs turn on five sets of

1081
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,830
minutes, so we can track it and
tell them and show them what

1082
01:13:19,830 --> 01:13:22,800
they're getting for their money.
Its value for value.

1083
01:13:23,940 --> 01:13:27,120
Dave Jones: Yeah. appreciate the
fact that that's like a

1084
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,060
conversation in a relationship
between the podcaster and the

1085
01:13:30,060 --> 01:13:33,510
audience. That's where I started
this sort of technological

1086
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,880
technical solution that trust,
like, steal it to like, work its

1087
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,250
way around that relationship.
That's

1088
01:13:41,250 --> 01:13:43,830
Adam Curry: why That's why I
started I said, What's ignored

1089
01:13:43,830 --> 01:13:46,590
in the whole podcasting
industrial complex? is the

1090
01:13:46,590 --> 01:13:49,830
relationship between the
podcaster and the audience. And

1091
01:13:49,830 --> 01:13:53,820
the podcasters. They forget that
too. And then it just becomes

1092
01:13:53,820 --> 01:13:57,300
magic did yeah. Well, then it
but then it becomes when we just

1093
01:13:57,300 --> 01:14:00,030
shove this crap in your face,
I'm sorry. It's the only way we

1094
01:14:00,030 --> 01:14:03,000
can do it. Where you can
actually turn it into an

1095
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:08,130
extremely positive. And then as
it goes along, I think that the

1096
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,130
the Linux unplugged guys, they
could say, you know, if you

1097
01:14:11,130 --> 01:14:15,240
don't want to hear the ad, and
you want to boost us, or you

1098
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,630
want to stream a higher amount
of stat sets instead, here's a

1099
01:14:18,630 --> 01:14:22,050
toggle, and you want here the ad
and you I mean, you can do it

1100
01:14:22,050 --> 01:14:26,670
that way. But it's always the
relationship between the, the,

1101
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:31,920
I'm going to use the word I hate
a creator, and the audience that

1102
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:36,600
is forgotten. That's what's
forgotten. And that's, that's

1103
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:41,880
where they went wrong. And
again, I want nothing more if I

1104
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,100
if you really woke me up in the
middle, if so, would you really

1105
01:14:44,100 --> 01:14:50,670
want I would want the podcast
ecosystem to crush every other

1106
01:14:50,670 --> 01:14:55,110
distribution mechanism that is
out there. Tall networks, every

1107
01:14:55,110 --> 01:14:59,730
single one of them, crush them
make them irrelevant because

1108
01:14:59,730 --> 01:15:01,380
they are Our system is better.

1109
01:15:03,629 --> 01:15:09,899
Dave Jones: I agree. Yeah. And I
think I think that is, you know,

1110
01:15:09,929 --> 01:15:12,329
everybody's doing their
prediction shows and stuff like

1111
01:15:12,329 --> 01:15:19,229
that this week, or in last week.
And this. There, there's this

1112
01:15:19,229 --> 01:15:24,719
weird dichotomy between some
people are saying, well, you

1113
01:15:24,719 --> 01:15:27,089
know, think 2024 is not going to
get a whole lot better than

1114
01:15:27,089 --> 01:15:31,559
2023. And then people on the ad
side are like, well, you know,

1115
01:15:31,559 --> 01:15:38,399
everything's going up. And yeah,
I think in order to get sort of

1116
01:15:38,399 --> 01:15:42,899
your put your ear to the to the
train track, and hear what's

1117
01:15:43,139 --> 01:15:48,689
coming down the road. So I
brought clips,

1118
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,660
Adam Curry: can I add one thing
before you go to the clips?

1119
01:15:52,170 --> 01:15:55,740
Yeah, I would love Linux
unplugged, if they put a value

1120
01:15:55,740 --> 01:16:00,120
time split into their Linode
read, I will boost your

1121
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,930
advertiser and tell them I liked
their product. Or if I don't

1122
01:16:03,930 --> 01:16:08,550
like their product, I will boost
and said, I heard this ad. I'm

1123
01:16:08,550 --> 01:16:11,430
interested, or I liked it, or I
liked the way it was done. Or I

1124
01:16:11,430 --> 01:16:14,790
like your product. I'd like your
service. I'm already I'm already

1125
01:16:14,820 --> 01:16:19,170
a user or man, you know,
whatever it is, I will give

1126
01:16:19,170 --> 01:16:20,820
feedback to your advertiser.

1127
01:16:22,290 --> 01:16:25,290
Dave Jones: One thing we haven't
seen on that front is, like you

1128
01:16:25,290 --> 01:16:28,020
said, boosting directly to the
advertiser basically a value

1129
01:16:28,260 --> 01:16:29,760
split for the ad. Yes,

1130
01:16:29,790 --> 01:16:34,890
Adam Curry: yes. Exactly. Put it
to a devalue time split in, give

1131
01:16:34,890 --> 01:16:38,550
the advertiser A wallet, tell
you tell your audience what

1132
01:16:38,550 --> 01:16:41,160
you're doing. Hey, if you if
you're a podcast, who put it

1133
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:45,150
right now? boost the ad, send
them a message can be one

1134
01:16:45,150 --> 01:16:47,610
Satoshi I don't care. Send them
a message.

1135
01:16:47,910 --> 01:16:49,980
Dave Jones: That would be
interesting. If you said, if you

1136
01:16:49,980 --> 01:16:56,040
say okay, I'm going to I'm going
to prove to you my numbers. In

1137
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,520
this way, I'm going to set up a
context account for you

1138
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:03,480
beautiful, exactly, we're gonna
see this. Yeah. And

1139
01:17:03,480 --> 01:17:05,250
Adam Curry: you know what
advertising equals negative

1140
01:17:05,250 --> 01:17:08,490
feedback. They, they, they
appreciate that, too. That's

1141
01:17:08,490 --> 01:17:12,120
free. And you're just save
yourself $50,000 on a marketing

1142
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,030
firm that does that does
polling. And

1143
01:17:15,030 --> 01:17:19,770
Dave Jones: at the end of the,
at the end of the campaign, then

1144
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:25,200
you just pay you just if you
just pay me back? The the

1145
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:29,790
amount, like just add that back
in as a bonus. What like the

1146
01:17:29,790 --> 01:17:32,910
agreed amount, and then you add
in whatever, whatever sets you

1147
01:17:32,910 --> 01:17:35,850
receive, you give me a cut of
that back? What and that's

1148
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:36,600
whatever it

1149
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,520
Adam Curry: is, you send it back
to the people who sent you the

1150
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:39,180
message,

1151
01:17:39,540 --> 01:17:41,760
Dave Jones: we split it or
whatever. There's a million ways

1152
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,380
to do it. Yeah. That's

1153
01:17:43,380 --> 01:17:46,530
Adam Curry: all I wanted to
present is that I am not I

1154
01:17:46,530 --> 01:17:51,510
believe that advertising is, is
censorship, because you can't

1155
01:17:51,900 --> 01:17:56,640
talk about a competing product
that That by itself is going to

1156
01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:01,800
be censorship. I believe it's
dangerous, in many cases,

1157
01:18:01,830 --> 01:18:06,450
because you, you can get
demonetized. But I want to be

1158
01:18:06,450 --> 01:18:10,290
clear, I'm not anti marketing,
the world exists on marketing.

1159
01:18:10,290 --> 01:18:14,100
We can't live without product
being marketed to us. But we

1160
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:19,560
can, this is what we talked
about in 1989, we are saying oh,

1161
01:18:19,590 --> 01:18:23,340
it's going to change is going to
change, or it'll be updated and

1162
01:18:23,340 --> 01:18:28,020
you'll pay me for my time. No
one's done it. We have it we

1163
01:18:28,020 --> 01:18:31,740
have all the pieces in place to
do that. And I just wanted to

1164
01:18:31,740 --> 01:18:36,180
put that out there that people
can think of it as a possible

1165
01:18:36,180 --> 01:18:39,810
way and the Jupiter broadcasting
guys, I would love to see them

1166
01:18:39,810 --> 01:18:43,170
experiment with this. The I
think their audience is perfect

1167
01:18:43,170 --> 01:18:47,610
for it. I'll participate you'll
participate. I streamed SATs I

1168
01:18:47,610 --> 01:18:51,180
boost them. I listened to the
Linode it's interesting to me.

1169
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,450
It's something I want to hear if
I didn't want to hear it. I'd

1170
01:18:54,450 --> 01:18:57,960
like to I'd like to say hey, I
hate this ad. Can I turn it off?

1171
01:18:58,380 --> 01:19:02,160
Whatever. Now makes it a level
you can turn it off if you boost

1172
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,430
the 1000s that there's all kinds
of it's programmable money

1173
01:19:05,430 --> 01:19:09,300
people think a little bit
further than what it is.

1174
01:19:10,530 --> 01:19:12,840
Dave Jones: Yeah, I think I
think we haven't seen the sort

1175
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:18,000
of experimentation now with this
stuff where you could sit down

1176
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,750
for an afternoon and think of
four or five different ways you

1177
01:19:21,750 --> 01:19:25,620
could do some crazy stuff with
with this when it when it comes

1178
01:19:25,620 --> 01:19:30,210
to like splits that activates
services. Like with friends I

1179
01:19:30,210 --> 01:19:35,730
mean, just you get spit ball or
something like this like you you

1180
01:19:35,730 --> 01:19:42,120
donate you hit a certain
threshold of you hit a certain

1181
01:19:43,050 --> 01:19:46,200
you know you hit a certain
threshold of ads and screaming

1182
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:50,310
stats. I love this thinking for
last episode that means next

1183
01:19:50,310 --> 01:19:53,430
episode you don't get you don't
hear any ads. Yeah, they just

1184
01:19:53,460 --> 01:19:56,280
stuff like, you know, like all
kinds of crazy stuff that you

1185
01:19:56,280 --> 01:20:00,390
could do. Yeah, I think we have
a really we Here's haven't

1186
01:20:00,390 --> 01:20:04,200
really seen anybody go, go, go
kind of nutty, and start doing

1187
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:05,820
that stuff. And

1188
01:20:06,270 --> 01:20:08,820
Adam Curry: just to finish, I
really feel there's something

1189
01:20:08,820 --> 01:20:11,940
here this hybrid, it's not
creepy, because we're already

1190
01:20:11,940 --> 01:20:15,330
doing it. It's not creepy,
because I'm already using it.

1191
01:20:15,780 --> 01:20:20,310
It's not creepy, because I can't
attribute you as a person to the

1192
01:20:20,310 --> 01:20:23,940
contacts graph that I'm viewing.
I mean, if I go into the data

1193
01:20:23,940 --> 01:20:27,840
individually, I guess I could,
and you know, I can know, an

1194
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,690
alias. But that's really all I
know. I can't necessarily yeah,

1195
01:20:30,690 --> 01:20:33,360
Dave Jones: that's, that's self
that's opt in, though, I mean,

1196
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:37,080
because you've completely you
have to get to it. I mean, if I

1197
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:43,140
get if I just say that, if I put
in my, in my user name, and the

1198
01:20:43,140 --> 01:20:49,350
T O V. Anonymous, is you're not
getting any information about me

1199
01:20:49,380 --> 01:20:55,530
at all. There's nothing you
can't, you can't extract

1200
01:20:55,530 --> 01:20:59,070
anything out of that payment
that that identifies me, you

1201
01:20:59,070 --> 01:21:04,260
just can't know. So there's my
if I choose to put Dave Jones in

1202
01:21:04,260 --> 01:21:08,340
the username field of the TLV
I'm choosing to let you know

1203
01:21:08,340 --> 01:21:12,870
that that's me. That's not you
can't get it any other way

1204
01:21:12,870 --> 01:21:16,740
without me allowing it to
happen. And so in like the and

1205
01:21:16,740 --> 01:21:20,730
then and then that's all you
get. So if some if four other

1206
01:21:20,730 --> 01:21:22,890
people also say their name is
Dave Jones,

1207
01:21:23,970 --> 01:21:25,500
Adam Curry: then you have for
Dave Jones.

1208
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:28,770
Dave Jones: Name I can't tell
which one's me and which one's

1209
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,010
somebody else. It's just it is
perfectly anonymous

1210
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:37,140
Adam Curry: now and I believe
much more in host read ads than

1211
01:21:37,140 --> 01:21:42,180
anything else. Because it's like
bridesmaid magazine. I don't

1212
01:21:42,180 --> 01:21:46,020
think you should be creating a
podcast just to advertise bridal

1213
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:56,010
services and products. Button.
Linux unplugged is makes so much

1214
01:21:56,010 --> 01:21:59,940
sense for I'm interested in the
products they that advertised

1215
01:21:59,940 --> 01:22:03,450
there. And the either it's a
canned or whatever, but it's not

1216
01:22:03,450 --> 01:22:07,470
it's not an inserted ad that
goes you know, Toyota. I'm not

1217
01:22:07,470 --> 01:22:10,440
interested, that's not going to
interest me. And I can't help

1218
01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:13,830
that. I can't even think that
far ahead. Let's put it that

1219
01:22:13,830 --> 01:22:19,410
way. But to hear people
struggling with something that

1220
01:22:19,410 --> 01:22:23,460
already exists, I want to bridge
I want to help bridge that gap.

1221
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:29,700
Because it's there. I am anti
tracking, I am pro privacy. Anti

1222
01:22:29,700 --> 01:22:36,270
creepy. But if we just remember
that the podcasts are has an

1223
01:22:36,300 --> 01:22:41,610
intimate relationship with the
audience. You can figure out per

1224
01:22:41,610 --> 01:22:47,340
audience what is possible. You
just can. It's not a problem.

1225
01:22:48,060 --> 01:22:51,780
But that is what is overlooked.
And it's and it's overlooked in

1226
01:22:52,440 --> 01:22:57,210
reports and graphs and charts
and Rancors and leaderboards.

1227
01:22:57,210 --> 01:23:02,910
It's all insulting because you
you bring people and podcasters

1228
01:23:02,910 --> 01:23:08,130
down to a frickin percentage.
Whereas here is something that

1229
01:23:08,130 --> 01:23:12,690
is human ebb you can work with
both parties to make something

1230
01:23:12,900 --> 01:23:15,750
do I expect the podcast
industrial complex to take this

1231
01:23:15,750 --> 01:23:19,140
and run with it? No. But at
least I said as possible. And

1232
01:23:19,140 --> 01:23:20,490
now let's go back to value for
value.

1233
01:23:21,330 --> 01:23:26,700
Dave Jones: But the reason I the
reason I headed it I have veered

1234
01:23:26,700 --> 01:23:31,440
into clips. Because I think this
No no. Because this this is

1235
01:23:31,440 --> 01:23:37,020
actually pretty. It's actually
pretty apropos mainly so I was

1236
01:23:37,020 --> 01:23:42,120
listening to this is wrong
roundabout way of the way of how

1237
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:46,620
I got to this podcast. This
there's this you know, I told

1238
01:23:46,620 --> 01:23:51,570
you I've I've gone down the
Gilmore Girls train. Now and now

1239
01:23:51,570 --> 01:23:55,740
I'm listening to the Gilmore
Girls podcast. But but it's this

1240
01:23:55,800 --> 01:24:01,290
specific one by by the guy that
played Luke on the show. And I

1241
01:24:01,290 --> 01:24:05,490
don't remember how I think I
think I found when I was

1242
01:24:05,490 --> 01:24:10,620
originally searching for it, uh,
found a another one called

1243
01:24:10,620 --> 01:24:18,150
Gilmore Guys. Hey, no witch. And
so this is like, this was this

1244
01:24:18,150 --> 01:24:20,760
was by nobody related to the
show. I mean, this is just like

1245
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,880
two days. Scott Patterson you're
talking about? Yes, Scott

1246
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,340
Patterson does the I am all in
podcast, which is the one I

1247
01:24:26,340 --> 01:24:31,110
subscribe to. But this other
show was by people who are not

1248
01:24:31,260 --> 01:24:34,650
who were not actors on the show.
Just it's like Egina just fans.

1249
01:24:36,480 --> 01:24:40,890
And I remember seeing that show.
So I went back

1250
01:24:43,170 --> 01:24:47,790
Adam Curry: I been Pfeiffer I
binge Gilmore Girls are in

1251
01:24:47,790 --> 01:24:51,240
COVID. So it's you know what a
real man admits that. He watched

1252
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:52,140
Gilmore Girls.

1253
01:24:53,850 --> 01:24:59,040
Dave Jones: I have no shame.
None. There's no shame. But so

1254
01:24:59,820 --> 01:25:04,470
it's The this I ended up
listening to this other podcast,

1255
01:25:04,950 --> 01:25:09,390
because now I'm just you know,
I'm just curious at what, three

1256
01:25:09,390 --> 01:25:12,480
minutes in and I'm out. I'm like
that cannot tolerate this at

1257
01:25:12,480 --> 01:25:17,430
all. It's so it's just not my
for No, I'm not going to

1258
01:25:17,430 --> 01:25:21,870
criticize them but it is just
absolutely not my thing. I can't

1259
01:25:21,900 --> 01:25:27,300
I can't handle it. So I was out
on that but somehow I ended up

1260
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,830
through the magic of of the
index or something with this

1261
01:25:31,860 --> 01:25:35,910
other show by one of the hosts
of that show. Is this this is a

1262
01:25:35,910 --> 01:25:43,350
show called good Christian fun.
Yeah. Funny name for show. So

1263
01:25:43,350 --> 01:25:46,680
I'm like, Oh, I gotta I gotta it
was supposed to be like a, a

1264
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,220
show about Christian pop
culture. And I'm like, oh,

1265
01:25:50,220 --> 01:25:53,460
that's that sounds like
entertaining. So listen to it.

1266
01:25:53,940 --> 01:25:59,790
And I was actually sort of the
my entry point to this show was

1267
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,110
an episode. This was the most
recent episode, which ended up

1268
01:26:04,110 --> 01:26:10,290
being a bad entry point for me.
Because they're, they start

1269
01:26:10,290 --> 01:26:13,980
talking about at the very
beginning, how their, their

1270
01:26:13,980 --> 01:26:17,850
podcast network called ahead. GM
is the name of this podcast

1271
01:26:17,850 --> 01:26:23,670
network. Their Podcast Network
is now trying a new strategy.

1272
01:26:25,020 --> 01:26:29,940
Going going forward on how to
figure out new shows.

1273
01:26:31,740 --> 01:26:34,380
Adam Curry: And what do you mean
figure out new shows? What do

1274
01:26:34,380 --> 01:26:37,050
you mean, what new shows to
produce? Yeah,

1275
01:26:37,380 --> 01:26:40,050
Dave Jones: yeah. So they like
so what do we you know, this is

1276
01:26:40,050 --> 01:26:44,550
the new this is the new world we
live in where? Where podcasting

1277
01:26:44,580 --> 01:26:48,810
isn't, is not a is not the
Fairhead you know, fair haired

1278
01:26:48,930 --> 01:26:51,840
Adam Curry: child knows the
ugly, ugly. redheaded stepchild

1279
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,180
was what it is. All right.
Sorry. redheads.

1280
01:26:55,290 --> 01:27:00,240
Dave Jones: Is the soulless
redheads. Yes. And this so they

1281
01:27:00,270 --> 01:27:03,570
so they have a new strategy,
which he will describe.

1282
01:27:04,650 --> 01:27:08,490
Unknown: This week, we have a
special treat for our listeners.

1283
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:13,320
Oh, right. Yes, this this is
kind of crazy. But it's huge.

1284
01:27:13,470 --> 01:27:18,240
It's an honor. And the head game
network is a big family. In

1285
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,750
light of that they've launched
this new pilot program that

1286
01:27:21,750 --> 01:27:25,530
they're they're trying out. And
it's really weird how they're

1287
01:27:25,530 --> 01:27:29,400
rolling it out and executing it.
But when we heard the talent

1288
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,630
involved, we thought, yeah,
let's participate. Yeah, let's

1289
01:27:33,630 --> 01:27:36,570
give this agreement I had no
choice. So what they're doing

1290
01:27:36,570 --> 01:27:39,720
now is they're they're
developing, you know, about a

1291
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,620
dozen or so pilots. And what
they're doing is instead of

1292
01:27:43,620 --> 01:27:47,430
creating a feed for the show's
themselves, they're gonna put

1293
01:27:47,430 --> 01:27:50,970
them on the feeds of all the
other podcasts on had gone, you

1294
01:27:50,970 --> 01:27:54,870
know, when it makes sense. And
it may it certainly made sense.

1295
01:27:54,900 --> 01:28:00,390
In this case, they're actually
developing a podcast with two

1296
01:28:00,390 --> 01:28:04,080
people very close to our heart,
Michael W. Smith and Ami MF

1297
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:10,380
grant. They're finally doing
their to friends podcast. So

1298
01:28:10,620 --> 01:28:14,010
what they want to do had gum you
know, times being what they are

1299
01:28:14,010 --> 01:28:16,410
in the pockets industry. They
don't want to commit to the

1300
01:28:16,410 --> 01:28:22,290
whole 52 episode order for a
year. So what they're gonna do

1301
01:28:22,290 --> 01:28:25,230
is they're gonna put out the
pilot episode of all these new

1302
01:28:25,230 --> 01:28:25,680
shows.

1303
01:28:26,670 --> 01:28:28,800
Adam Curry: I'm not sure I
understood exactly what they're

1304
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:29,310
doing.

1305
01:28:30,780 --> 01:28:34,200
Dave Jones: Okay, so that's
yeah, it's a little hard to

1306
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,260
follow but what this what
they're doing his feed drops,

1307
01:28:37,290 --> 01:28:39,510
Adam Curry: right. So they're
putting the episode in every

1308
01:28:39,510 --> 01:28:42,180
single feed on their network. So

1309
01:28:42,210 --> 01:28:44,610
Dave Jones: yes, selective feed,
so they're gonna do he was

1310
01:28:44,610 --> 01:28:48,780
saying he was saying that he
clarifies it and a little,

1311
01:28:49,050 --> 01:28:52,410
clarifies a little bit more in
in the next clip, but what

1312
01:28:52,410 --> 01:28:56,550
they're essentially doing is
they're, instead of doing any

1313
01:28:56,550 --> 01:29:03,780
commitments, they're going to do
like one pilot episode, and then

1314
01:29:03,780 --> 01:29:08,790
throw that into a whole bunch of
already highly subscribed feeds

1315
01:29:09,510 --> 01:29:14,490
and see whether or not they get
good feedback. And if they do

1316
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:15,990
then they might order more

1317
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,460
Adam Curry: webisodes. Wow, that
sounds like a bad idea to me.

1318
01:29:21,330 --> 01:29:21,570
This

1319
01:29:21,570 --> 01:29:24,090
Dave Jones: sounds like a
terrible idea. I mean, feed

1320
01:29:24,090 --> 01:29:29,220
drops are nothing new. But I can
tell you they're almost

1321
01:29:29,220 --> 01:29:30,660
universally hated it

1322
01:29:30,690 --> 01:29:33,090
Adam Curry: From experience I
can tell you from way back

1323
01:29:33,090 --> 01:29:36,540
people don't like it. Like we'll
get that out of my feed. I'll

1324
01:29:36,540 --> 01:29:40,320
subscribe to the feed myself
Hey. And

1325
01:29:40,650 --> 01:29:43,140
Dave Jones: like this is a
perfect example because I was

1326
01:29:43,140 --> 01:29:47,790
willing to give this show a shot
I want I tuned in to hear this

1327
01:29:47,820 --> 01:29:53,700
specific show. And I did not get
this show because this show this

1328
01:29:53,700 --> 01:29:57,600
whole intro that I'm that I'm
clipping here. This was all lead

1329
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,780
into the feed drop that there
were about two played this other

1330
01:30:00,780 --> 01:30:05,310
episode. So I subscribed to a
show that I now did not get.

1331
01:30:05,700 --> 01:30:10,950
What I got was some new pilot
episode for a potentially new

1332
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:15,450
show from with Michael W. Smith
and Amy Grant. Amy Grant, a

1333
01:30:15,450 --> 01:30:18,210
singer Amy Grant singer and
Michael W. Smith, a Christian

1334
01:30:18,210 --> 01:30:22,950
singer. Yeah. Oh, those two them
talking to each other. I'm like,

1335
01:30:23,010 --> 01:30:26,220
I'm already annoyed before I
even hear you know what I mean?

1336
01:30:26,250 --> 01:30:30,120
Yeah, of course, it ended up
being a decent show. I'm already

1337
01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:34,140
you're hitting me. I'm annoyed
from the beginning. And so like

1338
01:30:34,170 --> 01:30:39,300
the net in the next clip, they
talk about this overall

1339
01:30:39,300 --> 01:30:44,160
strategy. And it's basically
it's the same strategy as it was

1340
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:48,810
the last five years. But of
celebrities, but this time

1341
01:30:48,810 --> 01:30:50,370
without the commitment. Michael

1342
01:30:50,370 --> 01:30:55,260
Unknown: W. Smith and Amy Grant
are doing one. You know, there's

1343
01:30:55,260 --> 01:30:58,410
other people doing podcasts
pilots that I'm forgetting right

1344
01:30:58,410 --> 01:31:03,720
now. I think I think there's,
there's like scrubs rewatch

1345
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:07,800
podcasts that they're doing, but
it's just the Todd and he's

1346
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,130
Sarah choc. Yeah. And it's kind
of competing with fake doctors,

1347
01:31:11,130 --> 01:31:15,510
real friends. That's one of
them. There's one Kim controls

1348
01:31:15,510 --> 01:31:18,150
doing where she just washes Sex
in the City. And she talks about

1349
01:31:18,150 --> 01:31:19,560
how much she hates everything.

1350
01:31:20,010 --> 01:31:21,180
Okay, negative show.

1351
01:31:21,210 --> 01:31:24,870
Yeah. So it's a lot of celebrity
stuff that that's been cooked up

1352
01:31:24,870 --> 01:31:25,500
ahead and GM.

1353
01:31:26,850 --> 01:31:30,720
Adam Curry: Oh, man, this is a
prime example of how you cannot

1354
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,330
monetize the network. So

1355
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:40,260
Dave Jones: this is, you know, I
don't, I'm not I'm not being

1356
01:31:40,260 --> 01:31:46,020
super negative on. As far as
like, I'm not saying this. I'm

1357
01:31:46,020 --> 01:31:49,080
not gonna criticize anybody on
this. But what I'm just it was

1358
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:54,150
interesting from the standpoint
of this, it's sort of a

1359
01:31:54,150 --> 01:31:58,290
confirmation that there's really
nothing new here. Like, there's

1360
01:31:59,250 --> 01:32:04,350
the podcast industrial complex.
So the you know, they're out of

1361
01:32:04,350 --> 01:32:07,950
ideas. They really are there
rehashing. Now, now they're

1362
01:32:07,950 --> 01:32:14,100
rehashing other, this is a real,
this is another podcast with

1363
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:17,670
somebody rewatching, a
television show and discussing

1364
01:32:17,670 --> 01:32:20,790
the episodes that's going head
to head with an already popular

1365
01:32:20,790 --> 01:32:24,090
show of this doing the exact
same thing with the exact same

1366
01:32:24,090 --> 01:32:31,680
show. And they're so unsure
about the success of the shows

1367
01:32:32,430 --> 01:32:36,600
that they, they won't even
commit to more than one episode.

1368
01:32:36,630 --> 01:32:38,940
And they're going to feed drop
it to get the numbers up. I

1369
01:32:38,940 --> 01:32:44,610
mean, like, Oh, my God, this is
just not. What bothers me here

1370
01:32:44,610 --> 01:32:49,680
is that this is not good. No,
this is really not a good. This

1371
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:51,420
is what I'm saying. If you put
your ear down to the train

1372
01:32:51,420 --> 01:32:56,670
tracks on this thing. I see hard
times ahead. I mean, it can it

1373
01:32:56,670 --> 01:33:00,510
kind of in him, and then you so
you have a feed drop already.

1374
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:05,580
Where this is, you're already
annoyed that you're not going to

1375
01:33:05,580 --> 01:33:11,730
hear the show you were expecting
to hear. And then I detect in

1376
01:33:11,730 --> 01:33:16,440
this last clip, I detected that
they're sort of embarrassed by

1377
01:33:16,440 --> 01:33:19,260
the quality of the episode
they're about, they're about to

1378
01:33:19,260 --> 01:33:22,830
feed drop, because they are not
selling it at all,

1379
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:25,260
Unknown: in what you're gonna
hear in this pilot episode,

1380
01:33:25,590 --> 01:33:28,770
which is not too long, because
you know, they're just testing

1381
01:33:28,770 --> 01:33:32,070
the waters and filling things
out. And and you can tell like,

1382
01:33:32,070 --> 01:33:33,960
they've been friends for a long
time, but they're maybe they

1383
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,900
don't have the stamina. Yeah,
their chemistry is kind of a

1384
01:33:36,900 --> 01:33:39,570
little wonky as they kind of
figure out what they're doing,

1385
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:44,640
you might hear. So, and for me,
it was interesting listening to

1386
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:48,000
Amy, because she would just kind
of like, you could tell at some

1387
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:50,250
point she her attention
wandered. And she would kind of

1388
01:33:50,250 --> 01:33:53,280
check her phone a little bit
while somebody was talking about

1389
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:56,400
something that was really
important to them. But you'll

1390
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,160
listen for yourself. I don't
want to cloud. Yeah,

1391
01:33:59,580 --> 01:34:04,920
Adam Curry: this reminds me so
much of pod show. When because

1392
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:09,090
we tried to run it like a
traditional network. This is

1393
01:34:09,090 --> 01:34:11,160
where I came up with the whole
term. You can't monetize the

1394
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:16,860
network. We tried to do it with
promo codes. And what wound up

1395
01:34:16,860 --> 01:34:21,870
happening is everybody had their
code and they were making good

1396
01:34:21,870 --> 01:34:24,810
money because they were
basically becoming SEO experts

1397
01:34:24,810 --> 01:34:27,390
with their codes. People weren't
getting the codes from the

1398
01:34:27,390 --> 01:34:30,930
shows. Now they were getting
them by going to google

1399
01:34:31,020 --> 01:34:33,960
someone's whoa, I'm gonna I'm at
checkout here I need to code

1400
01:34:34,770 --> 01:34:39,420
right now. I'm gonna I'm gonna
buy some SEO whatever. That was

1401
01:34:39,420 --> 01:34:43,860
never an advertiser. I'm gonna
buy something. And I need to

1402
01:34:43,860 --> 01:34:47,310
code so you you go to Google,
you search the code, whoever's

1403
01:34:47,310 --> 01:34:51,090
code pops up at the top they got
the credit it was basically a

1404
01:34:51,090 --> 01:34:59,970
scam. And, and it's just it
doesn't. It doesn't work well.

1405
01:35:01,230 --> 01:35:04,380
Dave Jones: And then this is
podcast winter. This is the

1406
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:06,210
beginning of the podcast winter.

1407
01:35:06,210 --> 01:35:11,880
Adam Curry: Yes, it is the
podcast winter. It is its direct

1408
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:15,030
response is very difficult in
this in this manner because you

1409
01:35:15,690 --> 01:35:19,830
just as I said, I've been, I've
seen it over and over and over

1410
01:35:19,830 --> 01:35:26,610
again. Where now the the code is
in a YouTube does it to me the

1411
01:35:26,610 --> 01:35:30,360
code is in the YouTube
description. It's they they

1412
01:35:30,390 --> 01:35:33,780
people become SEO experts at
codes. That's real. It's not

1413
01:35:33,780 --> 01:35:39,060
really coming from the podcast.
Whereas I think Linode probably

1414
01:35:39,540 --> 01:35:44,580
Jupiter probably use codes. But
I'm listening to it because I'm

1415
01:35:44,580 --> 01:35:47,310
interested in how they sell it.
I'm interested in what they're

1416
01:35:47,310 --> 01:35:50,310
selling, there's a different
message often there's like, no

1417
01:35:50,310 --> 01:35:52,830
blue node has this we have
something melts. And and I

1418
01:35:52,830 --> 01:35:55,500
always chuckle when they say
it's now a part of aka Miam.

1419
01:35:55,500 --> 01:35:57,570
Like, yeah.

1420
01:36:00,420 --> 01:36:04,170
Dave Jones: I know, people will
say that, you know, oh, feed

1421
01:36:04,170 --> 01:36:08,280
drops had been done for I get
that that's not that's not the

1422
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:12,510
point. Understand feed drops
have always been been happening.

1423
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:20,130
The thing that startles me a
little bit, is that what this is

1424
01:36:20,130 --> 01:36:27,720
this thing here is a large net
podcast network that has is

1425
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:34,230
saying our new strategy is
basically to do is to only do

1426
01:36:34,260 --> 01:36:38,670
one pilot episode, and then feed
drop it everywhere, that that

1427
01:36:38,670 --> 01:36:43,320
seems to be the policy going
forward. Because that, that it

1428
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:49,230
tells me that the money is so
tight, that they really is no

1429
01:36:49,230 --> 01:36:54,450
margin for error. The there's
certain, there's certain there's

1430
01:36:54,450 --> 01:36:59,190
certain certain things that that
are that people do learn, excuse

1431
01:36:59,190 --> 01:37:04,200
me, that companies do that are
sort of standard and you'll see

1432
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:08,790
them happen every now and then.
Things you know, certain types

1433
01:37:08,790 --> 01:37:11,220
of you know, like, I mean,
certain types of sales loss

1434
01:37:11,220 --> 01:37:14,160
leaders these things, I mean,
these are just normal part of

1435
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,130
doing business you do that. But
then there's a different than

1436
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:22,320
then something will happen where
you see a company go all in and

1437
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:26,940
just be in like completely lost
leader half of their, you know,

1438
01:37:27,450 --> 01:37:29,400
Adam Curry: is desperation the
next step for them as they're

1439
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:31,680
going to be doing? They're gonna
be doing podcasts about the

1440
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:35,100
products. That's always the next
step. Before you know it,

1441
01:37:35,100 --> 01:37:38,430
they'll be doing the Acura RDX
podcast, you know, there'll be

1442
01:37:38,460 --> 01:37:42,330
producing it Yeah. Branded
podcast I shared with you a mess

1443
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:45,480
is troublesome is troublesome?
Well, I shared with you a

1444
01:37:45,480 --> 01:37:48,690
message, someone approached me
and said, a guy we know

1445
01:37:48,690 --> 01:37:54,570
reputable. He says, If I have
$30 million, I want to start a

1446
01:37:54,570 --> 01:38:01,410
media company that that
basically red pills or orange

1447
01:38:01,410 --> 01:38:07,740
pills people that gets people to
understand or use Bitcoin and

1448
01:38:07,740 --> 01:38:12,900
does it in a soft handed way.
And, and I'm actually talking to

1449
01:38:12,900 --> 01:38:14,490
him on Monday, because

1450
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,190
Dave Jones: I hadn't been that
guy. Oh, it would have I would

1451
01:38:17,190 --> 01:38:18,690
have thought it was bullshit.
Yeah.

1452
01:38:20,820 --> 01:38:23,160
Adam Curry: And so I know what
I'm going to say. The first

1453
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,130
thing I'm going to say is,
here's what's not to do, do not

1454
01:38:26,130 --> 01:38:31,230
invest a single dime in content,
a single dime. But I'm going to

1455
01:38:31,230 --> 01:38:36,240
tell him and I'm it'd be
completely selfish. I'm going to

1456
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:42,480
say, what we need here is a
marketing company, a company

1457
01:38:42,510 --> 01:38:47,700
that markets apps, podcasts,
wallets, but really, if you want

1458
01:38:47,700 --> 01:38:53,160
to be a media company, then you
should go to the now Linux, I'm

1459
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,380
just gonna use Linux unplugged,
because I like those guys. And

1460
01:38:55,380 --> 01:39:00,660
this is easy target. And the you
will market the crap out of them

1461
01:39:00,750 --> 01:39:04,950
in return for which you get a 5%
split more 1% I don't care, it's

1462
01:39:04,950 --> 01:39:09,900
irrelevant. From their feed.
They really the your media

1463
01:39:09,900 --> 01:39:12,330
company should actually be a
wallet provider to be honest

1464
01:39:12,330 --> 01:39:15,660
about it. You should be
providing wallets and wallets

1465
01:39:15,660 --> 01:39:17,400
like a lightning service
provider, you should be

1466
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:22,020
providing services so that
people can easily get a wallet,

1467
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:26,130
easily funded. These are all the
things that are hard. But what

1468
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:32,190
all we need is we need
marketing. We need PR we need we

1469
01:39:32,190 --> 01:39:35,640
need Mitch being doing
interviews with publications, we

1470
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,370
need Oscar, you know, because
that's what happens with VC

1471
01:39:38,370 --> 01:39:42,270
money. When people get VC money
first of all, you handcuffed

1472
01:39:42,300 --> 01:39:47,040
golden handcuffs, and then you
wind up paying yourself and then

1473
01:39:47,940 --> 01:39:51,780
you know you you spend most of
the money marketing you know to

1474
01:39:51,780 --> 01:39:54,930
get your next funding round.
That's how it works. So so

1475
01:39:54,930 --> 01:39:58,440
instead I'm gonna say why don't
you reverse that process? Cuz I

1476
01:39:58,440 --> 01:40:01,650
don't want any money from you. I
I'm done with that I'm, I'm an

1477
01:40:01,650 --> 01:40:07,110
old guy, now. We're happy with
podcasts index 1% of everything

1478
01:40:07,110 --> 01:40:11,490
that moves around. And of
course, we get, you know, people

1479
01:40:11,490 --> 01:40:14,490
put more in there, people
support us as value for value.

1480
01:40:14,670 --> 01:40:17,370
So as you look, I think we have,
I think we have two Bitcoin now

1481
01:40:17,370 --> 01:40:20,490
on the node, which we never take
out, it's there, we provide

1482
01:40:20,490 --> 01:40:21,990
liquidity to everybody.

1483
01:40:22,890 --> 01:40:25,650
Dave Jones: But that's when,
when that dries up, we drove to

1484
01:40:25,710 --> 01:40:26,370
exact

1485
01:40:26,370 --> 01:40:29,940
Adam Curry: but the point is, is
that that's coming from, you

1486
01:40:29,940 --> 01:40:32,760
know, not just booster Graham's
for this show, it's coming from

1487
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:36,210
a lot of different places. So
and he does, he says, he doesn't

1488
01:40:36,210 --> 01:40:38,190
even relate. It's not even
necessarily big profit, but

1489
01:40:38,190 --> 01:40:40,200
good, then you're perfect for a
marketing company.

1490
01:40:40,860 --> 01:40:43,950
Dave Jones: But, but you
jettison profit. Yeah. And this

1491
01:40:43,950 --> 01:40:44,730
is you're in the strike zone.

1492
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,880
Adam Curry: I mean, I would just
be promoting apps promoting

1493
01:40:47,910 --> 01:40:51,900
onboarding, we have everything
you need. The last things, I

1494
01:40:51,900 --> 01:40:55,170
hope I can convince this guy not
to do what everyone's gonna do.

1495
01:40:55,290 --> 01:40:58,830
Hey, man, yeah, let's make a
studio, let's have a studio

1496
01:40:58,830 --> 01:41:02,040
where people can create shows,
that's gonna suck. And as a is a

1497
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,790
good way to throw away $30
million. That's not what's

1498
01:41:05,790 --> 01:41:09,480
needed here. We need this
ecosystem we've created we need

1499
01:41:09,480 --> 01:41:14,280
it to be marketed. We need every
and then there's the apps, the

1500
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:18,390
podcasts, and there's only
there's only 16 or 17,000

1501
01:41:18,390 --> 01:41:21,900
podcasts via you can, you can
highlight stuff, you can create

1502
01:41:21,900 --> 01:41:24,960
an onboarding station. That's
the one thing we don't have. We

1503
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,000
don't have marketing. We never
that's what people wanted

1504
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,180
podcasts index to be. And we
discovered we're no good at

1505
01:41:30,180 --> 01:41:33,480
that. We don't have the time,
the talent or the treasure,

1506
01:41:34,050 --> 01:41:37,440
literally full time job. Yeah, I
mean, it takes a huge

1507
01:41:37,440 --> 01:41:42,630
organization. So I hope, I hope
even if I can get a million of

1508
01:41:42,630 --> 01:41:46,560
that 30 to be put into marketing
what we're doing, that'll be a

1509
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,320
win. So that's my, that's my
coming week. That's what I'll be

1510
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:50,460
doing. Well,

1511
01:41:50,460 --> 01:41:53,130
Dave Jones: podcast. Luckily,
you know, this goes back to the

1512
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:56,430
discussion we've had before
where podcasting is a media

1513
01:41:56,430 --> 01:42:01,080
distribution. platform that's,
that's already built. Everybody

1514
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:05,340
already has a podcast, radio
receiver in their pocket. So

1515
01:42:05,370 --> 01:42:09,060
instead of trying to build
something new from scratch, you

1516
01:42:09,060 --> 01:42:13,170
know, which is typically what
Bitcoin people try to do always.

1517
01:42:13,170 --> 01:42:16,020
Yeah, they try to bid it's like,
it's the not invented here

1518
01:42:16,020 --> 01:42:20,970
stuff. Just take, you know,
take, take your take your money

1519
01:42:20,970 --> 01:42:24,030
if you have some and build on
top of something that's already

1520
01:42:24,030 --> 01:42:27,690
there. Like, I mean, that it's
already there. Yeah. And have to

1521
01:42:27,690 --> 01:42:28,950
build it all over again.

1522
01:42:29,070 --> 01:42:32,340
Adam Curry: And don't Oh, and
one other thing I'd have, um,

1523
01:42:32,340 --> 01:42:36,660
say. I think it would have to be
a wall, you know, lightning

1524
01:42:36,660 --> 01:42:39,960
service provider, make it so
that people can connect their

1525
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:45,000
podcast to the value for value
infrastructure. And that when

1526
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:50,070
someone sends a boost, it drops
into their, into their bank

1527
01:42:50,070 --> 01:42:53,700
account as dollars. This is the
thing. Yeah, this is what this

1528
01:42:53,700 --> 01:42:56,460
is what we never were able to
succeed. What was the name of

1529
01:42:56,460 --> 01:43:00,240
the company that was working now
not will strike won't do it.

1530
01:43:00,990 --> 01:43:05,730
Worked on that. With those guys.
One swung? Oh, no. Well, another

1531
01:43:05,730 --> 01:43:10,950
one that didn't do it. I was
working with it, because I had

1532
01:43:10,950 --> 01:43:16,290
it working for a little bit. And
I have x Yeah, X endevor. I

1533
01:43:16,290 --> 01:43:20,550
actually was okay with it. Until
you know, they couldn't do it

1534
01:43:20,550 --> 01:43:23,160
anymore. Whatever, they fell
apart. They never could do value

1535
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:25,920
for value streaming side, they
couldn't do lightning basically.

1536
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,280
But if you can make it so that
people don't have to make that

1537
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,730
conversion you overnight, you
sweep it into an account for

1538
01:43:32,730 --> 01:43:36,810
them. The strike for all I care,
it doesn't matter where it is.

1539
01:43:36,930 --> 01:43:39,360
These are the things that will
move it forward. And when you

1540
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:44,520
get people using Bitcoin. That's
the whole point. You don't want

1541
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:48,690
to have to explain it to them.
You want you want to give them a

1542
01:43:48,690 --> 01:43:53,250
way to use it. So hopefully they
know it's not Jack Dorsey,

1543
01:43:53,250 --> 01:43:54,570
please blueberry.

1544
01:43:56,370 --> 01:44:00,150
Dave Jones: JD brown it give me
a break.

1545
01:44:01,440 --> 01:44:04,920
Adam Curry: Anyway, so that's
what I hope to bring to the next

1546
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,830
board meeting something positive
on that. Wouldn't that be great

1547
01:44:07,830 --> 01:44:10,950
if we got some we got someone
that just marketed this stuff?

1548
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:14,070
Because the last thing I want is
that we don't want money. I

1549
01:44:14,070 --> 01:44:14,760
don't want money.

1550
01:44:15,390 --> 01:44:17,310
Dave Jones: No, no, it's too
much stress.

1551
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:22,020
Adam Curry: I mean, no, no, no,
we don't we just I just want I

1552
01:44:22,020 --> 01:44:25,200
just want this to more people to
be exposed to this market, the

1553
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:30,600
apps market this stuff market
aims Ainslie Costello, to market

1554
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:31,440
the live show.

1555
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:37,200
Dave Jones: Market this market
the the the people who are

1556
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:42,570
already there? Yes. And you
don't doesn't include us with I

1557
01:44:42,570 --> 01:44:44,940
don't want any of that. No,
because market market the people

1558
01:44:44,940 --> 01:44:47,130
that are already there that are
producing the content people

1559
01:44:47,130 --> 01:44:47,850
want to hear.

1560
01:44:48,330 --> 01:44:50,130
Adam Curry: Hopefully it's going
to be such a because I know he's

1561
01:44:50,130 --> 01:44:52,200
talking to other people about
this. Hopefully it's going to be

1562
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:54,750
such a different message that
will go Oh, because I can

1563
01:44:54,750 --> 01:45:00,510
definitely tell them how I how I
spent $65 million on it. Podcast

1564
01:45:00,510 --> 01:45:03,510
Network and tell him that so you
want that that's fine. Now,

1565
01:45:03,690 --> 01:45:06,240
let's find out what you're
talking about. Finally, find

1566
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:08,490
lots of people to spend that
money for you. But if you really

1567
01:45:08,490 --> 01:45:11,340
want to do something, if you
have an outcome in mind, this is

1568
01:45:11,340 --> 01:45:15,480
what you do. Here's the people.
It's it's we have 16,000 We

1569
01:45:15,480 --> 01:45:18,900
have, I mean, oh my god, imagine
if we're marketing music and

1570
01:45:18,900 --> 01:45:21,720
music shows. Can you just
imagine what happened?

1571
01:45:21,750 --> 01:45:25,590
Dave Jones: Oh, yeah, I mean,
this is the perfect time for

1572
01:45:25,590 --> 01:45:28,680
somebody to put money behind the
music. Yep. The value for value

1573
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:32,940
music ecosystem. Yep. Do it. I
mean, like, yeah, and we'll and

1574
01:45:32,940 --> 01:45:36,720
we'll, and we'll keep building.
It makes it work, keep

1575
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:38,790
Adam Curry: building, keep
building. And because we have

1576
01:45:38,790 --> 01:45:42,810
the value splits, everybody
wins. Everybody wins, number go

1577
01:45:42,810 --> 01:45:45,870
up number go up for everybody.
Well,

1578
01:45:46,830 --> 01:45:48,750
Dave Jones: we need to talk
about one more thing before we

1579
01:45:48,870 --> 01:45:54,840
okay. Thank people. Sure. Yeah,
sure. So would the other thing

1580
01:45:54,840 --> 01:46:00,480
is our terms of service for the
podcast index? I mean, this is a

1581
01:46:00,480 --> 01:46:05,100
board meeting. So this is an
appropriate topic that somebody

1582
01:46:05,100 --> 01:46:12,180
brought up on. On the podcast
index, GitHub repos database

1583
01:46:12,390 --> 01:46:19,020
repository. Somebody posted on
there that the that the term

1584
01:46:19,050 --> 01:46:22,770
that our terms of service
prohibit prohibit, it's like,

1585
01:46:23,370 --> 01:46:25,950
section five dot something I
don't know, fell asleep,

1586
01:46:26,340 --> 01:46:30,930
prohibits people from building
databases based on the

1587
01:46:30,930 --> 01:46:34,950
information that they get from
the index. Oh, really? Which?

1588
01:46:35,490 --> 01:46:41,220
Yeah. So I mean, for clarity,
this the our terms of service

1589
01:46:41,220 --> 01:46:46,650
goes back to literally like day
one. I mean, it's so it's been

1590
01:46:46,650 --> 01:46:50,520
there. I don't even know what's
in it was a it was boilerplate

1591
01:46:50,520 --> 01:46:56,220
material. Yeah, let's rip that
out. Yeah, do so do we need but

1592
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,460
but if there's stuff in it, that
we don't even know about that.

1593
01:46:59,460 --> 01:47:02,520
We need somebody to just write
us to pay somebody just write us

1594
01:47:02,520 --> 01:47:04,590
some terms of service that make
better sense.

1595
01:47:04,710 --> 01:47:06,930
Adam Curry: I think that we
could have someone review it.

1596
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:12,060
And one thing I know for sure
there's lawyers in my life, who

1597
01:47:12,060 --> 01:47:15,060
will gladly help us out with
their time and talent to just

1598
01:47:15,060 --> 01:47:17,280
run through it and say, Hey,
this makes no sense for what

1599
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:19,770
you're doing. So that right
there five, a whatever it is, we

1600
01:47:19,770 --> 01:47:21,600
should just take that out, of
course, people should be able to

1601
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:25,440
build build databases off of our
database.

1602
01:47:26,010 --> 01:47:29,190
Dave Jones: Yeah, that was like,
what what? Yeah, no, we don't

1603
01:47:29,190 --> 01:47:32,250
want that. I mean, that's not
that doesn't make any sense. I'm

1604
01:47:32,250 --> 01:47:35,070
sure it had something to say
that that's the problem with

1605
01:47:35,070 --> 01:47:37,440
boilerplate stuff. And I'm sure
it had something to do with

1606
01:47:37,440 --> 01:47:41,100
like, don't scrape us and build
an email list or have a, you

1607
01:47:41,100 --> 01:47:43,140
know, some crap like that. Well,

1608
01:47:43,140 --> 01:47:45,330
Adam Curry: we know who we both
know, who was in charge of

1609
01:47:45,330 --> 01:47:49,140
making those. Those terms of
service, and that person had

1610
01:47:49,140 --> 01:47:53,190
different ideas about who we
were and what we're about. Yeah.

1611
01:47:53,250 --> 01:47:54,240
So if

1612
01:47:54,420 --> 01:47:58,110
Dave Jones: it's probably like,
I really wish that we could have

1613
01:47:58,110 --> 01:48:03,120
a terms of service that was just
like, you know, don't do this.

1614
01:48:03,150 --> 01:48:06,720
Don't do this. Don't do this.
But basically just a clear, it's

1615
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,870
not like some 12 Page
monstrosity, that nobody knows

1616
01:48:09,870 --> 01:48:14,610
what's in it. I wish it was just
the simple thing that that said,

1617
01:48:14,820 --> 01:48:18,330
you know, hey, don't spam the
don't spam the index. Right?

1618
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:21,660
Don't you know, basically all
this stuff? Like don't Don't be

1619
01:48:21,660 --> 01:48:22,410
a douche?

1620
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:26,250
Adam Curry: How about that?
Terms of Service? Point one a

1621
01:48:26,250 --> 01:48:29,730
Don't be a douche. There is no
point to point

1622
01:48:29,730 --> 01:48:34,170
Dave Jones: yet. Point two is,
you know, question mark. That's

1623
01:48:34,170 --> 01:48:37,740
what I want. Because I don't I
have to stuff in the terms that

1624
01:48:37,740 --> 01:48:40,140
don't even I don't even
understand. So well, if

1625
01:48:40,140 --> 01:48:44,310
Adam Curry: you're, if you're a
lawyer, reach out to us. And I

1626
01:48:44,310 --> 01:48:51,060
will, we have a pretty good guy.
Rob, who's, he does a lot of

1627
01:48:51,660 --> 01:48:54,690
analysis for me. And I'll ask
him if he'll if he'll just run a

1628
01:48:54,690 --> 01:48:57,990
check and take a look. And he
could probably just do that and

1629
01:48:57,990 --> 01:49:00,090
say, Hey, here's some things
What do you think about this or

1630
01:49:00,090 --> 01:49:02,340
that? I mean, it's, it's not
like writing something new, I

1631
01:49:02,340 --> 01:49:05,340
think we can just strip out or
change chains of things that

1632
01:49:05,340 --> 01:49:07,980
aren't appropriate to what we're
doing. And he understands value

1633
01:49:07,980 --> 01:49:08,520
for value.

1634
01:49:09,570 --> 01:49:12,600
Dave Jones: Okay, but like what
good point back back then back

1635
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:16,290
then when we first did it, I
went through it and wrote a

1636
01:49:16,290 --> 01:49:20,490
simplified version of it. That
was like, basically here's the

1637
01:49:20,490 --> 01:49:23,730
things that the terms say, but
that was so long ago, I forgot

1638
01:49:23,730 --> 01:49:26,250
even what it was now. So
interesting.

1639
01:49:26,610 --> 01:49:29,460
Adam Curry: Interesting. You
bring that up? Because I'm right

1640
01:49:29,460 --> 01:49:36,000
now and that was for as much
crap as I give ai ai ai because

1641
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:37,140
you know, are

1642
01:49:37,140 --> 01:49:39,450
Dave Jones: you being Are you
being seduced? No, no,

1643
01:49:39,450 --> 01:49:41,610
Adam Curry: no, I'm not being
seduced. I'm actually let me

1644
01:49:41,610 --> 01:49:46,770
just bring this up here for a
second. I think I sent you a

1645
01:49:46,770 --> 01:49:52,560
copy of this. But the I use
otter.ai for our transcription.

1646
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:56,040
Dave Jones: Oh, yeah. Yeah, you
did send me this. Yeah. And

1647
01:49:56,370 --> 01:49:58,770
Adam Curry: is it still do you
still have it? And what and then

1648
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:02,940
so otter is is you For a number
of things, people can use it

1649
01:50:02,940 --> 01:50:07,440
for, you know, for meetings and
calls and all kinds of stuff.

1650
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:12,420
And so it had this pre pre
written thing. I'm gonna see if

1651
01:50:12,420 --> 01:50:19,830
I can replicate it. What are the
action items from this meeting?

1652
01:50:20,370 --> 01:50:25,350
So this is on episode 161. And
so I asked what are the action

1653
01:50:25,350 --> 01:50:28,620
items from this meeting, and it
says some of the main and it

1654
01:50:28,620 --> 01:50:33,150
came back with something, which
is really funny. Some of the

1655
01:50:33,150 --> 01:50:35,970
main action items from this
meeting include making the

1656
01:50:35,970 --> 01:50:39,510
activity pub bridge code public
on GitHub after removing API

1657
01:50:39,510 --> 01:50:40,260
tokens.

1658
01:50:41,250 --> 01:50:42,420
Dave Jones: That's exactly
right. Yeah,

1659
01:50:42,450 --> 01:50:47,610
Adam Curry: did you do it and go
okay, good job adding links to

1660
01:50:47,610 --> 01:50:51,300
popular podcast apps like pod
verse Pocket Casts etc under

1661
01:50:51,300 --> 01:50:55,710
each episode on the activity pub
bridge. Now of course not adding

1662
01:50:55,710 --> 01:51:00,150
support to heli pad to post
booster grams as replies under

1663
01:51:00,150 --> 01:51:03,750
episode posts on the activity
pub bridge another good idea?

1664
01:51:04,350 --> 01:51:08,610
No, of course not. I'm just
reading writing right over three

1665
01:51:08,850 --> 01:51:11,970
writing an explainer document
about activity pub to help

1666
01:51:11,970 --> 01:51:16,680
podcast developers understand
and integrate with it and in my

1667
01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:19,770
defense, you have to defend
anything brother only

1668
01:51:19,770 --> 01:51:22,560
Dave Jones: for in my design
defending myself against this a

1669
01:51:22,590 --> 01:51:28,470
douche point for I did say by
the end of the month, so I gave

1670
01:51:28,470 --> 01:51:29,910
myself plenty of time.

1671
01:51:30,930 --> 01:51:34,320
Adam Curry: And the following
last one can I love this because

1672
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:37,710
it actually gives us a good list
of stuff to remind us of

1673
01:51:38,310 --> 01:51:41,970
continuing to improve caching
issues on Mastodon to ensure

1674
01:51:41,970 --> 01:51:48,750
album art and other metadata is
updated properly. No. Zero for

1675
01:51:48,750 --> 01:51:52,920
five good meeting everybody.
Well, notice I had no action

1676
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:53,400
items.

1677
01:51:55,170 --> 01:51:57,030
Dave Jones: What is what is
this? Just what

1678
01:51:57,480 --> 01:51:59,940
Adam Curry: does this make you
hate AI even more now?

1679
01:52:00,480 --> 01:52:02,490
Dave Jones: Yeah, it does.
Actually.

1680
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,830
Adam Curry: I'm gonna put these
here i holding me accountable.

1681
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:09,240
Ai action item list. I'm going
to put I'm going to keep this in

1682
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:11,730
the show notes. That's
hilarious. Oh,

1683
01:52:11,730 --> 01:52:15,000
Dave Jones: yeah, we if you keep
referring back to the old stuff

1684
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:18,120
that the AI dealt with, we will
see model collapse in real time

1685
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:19,770
as we go forward. Ooh, nice.

1686
01:52:19,770 --> 01:52:20,220
Adam Curry: Yes.

1687
01:52:22,980 --> 01:52:25,290
Dave Jones: Let's make it let's
let's Fried's brains, please.

1688
01:52:25,650 --> 01:52:27,690
Adam Curry: Let's thank a few
people because I know you gotta

1689
01:52:27,690 --> 01:52:31,350
go back to the office. I'm sure
I'm off today. Oh,

1690
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:32,070
Dave Jones: no.

1691
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:35,190
Adam Curry: Crack a beer
brother. All right, here we go.

1692
01:52:35,790 --> 01:52:39,990
Nathan G this is all the live
booths people with a row of

1693
01:52:39,990 --> 01:52:43,230
ducks if the index has all the
booster grams where you've

1694
01:52:43,230 --> 01:52:46,170
received a split, because those
could those be served as

1695
01:52:46,170 --> 01:52:49,650
lightning comments in the social
interact tag. Why don't you just

1696
01:52:49,650 --> 01:52:58,050
grab the third rail and lick it
this socket stick your fingers

1697
01:52:58,050 --> 01:53:02,790
in a socket. This is this is no
doubt we'll

1698
01:53:02,790 --> 01:53:06,060
Dave Jones: never see the light
of No. Promise you this not

1699
01:53:06,060 --> 01:53:10,110
happen but I appreciate enough
money in the world to make that

1700
01:53:10,110 --> 01:53:11,460
happen. Not gonna happen.

1701
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:17,850
Adam Curry: Hard Hat 12345 Thank
you horrified. Go podcasts,

1702
01:53:18,150 --> 01:53:22,440
blueberry. With ADA ADA. Last
Friday, Ainsley and I compiled

1703
01:53:22,440 --> 01:53:25,770
every boost and zapped to read
them live on a special edition

1704
01:53:25,770 --> 01:53:30,960
of before the stream be be be
40. Yes. Even after reading the

1705
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,740
booths at breakneck speeds, it
took two and a half hours to get

1706
01:53:34,740 --> 01:53:39,180
through everything. He says
exactly what I call value. Yes.

1707
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:44,220
Yes. Beautiful. I love that. Sam
Sethi a couple of boosts from

1708
01:53:44,220 --> 01:53:49,740
Sam. Let's see we enabled we
just enabled people who create a

1709
01:53:49,740 --> 01:53:54,240
playlist to be paid 5% in
someone else's if someone else

1710
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:57,540
streams that are playlists, and
the other 95% goes to the

1711
01:53:57,540 --> 01:54:02,220
podcaster. Very interesting.
These are all these are all

1712
01:54:02,340 --> 01:54:08,070
great things. Sam is definitely
running around. Dave is this is

1713
01:54:08,070 --> 01:54:12,420
10,000 SATs by the way this is
10,000 SATs each time, Dave, we

1714
01:54:12,420 --> 01:54:16,230
are already talking to three
hosts to trial a verify podcast

1715
01:54:16,230 --> 01:54:20,010
method today is email. But in
other ways token in the Verify

1716
01:54:20,010 --> 01:54:25,920
tag or simpler is the REL equals
me model. Okay, do you want to

1717
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:28,590
comment on that on that because
he keeps pushing this the REL

1718
01:54:28,590 --> 01:54:29,610
equals me model?

1719
01:54:32,610 --> 01:54:34,320
Dave Jones: No, I don't I don't
want to come in. Because I don't

1720
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:38,070
know enough about about it. Yes,
but I do. I will make this

1721
01:54:38,070 --> 01:54:41,970
general statement. I I
intentionally stayed out of the

1722
01:54:41,970 --> 01:54:48,600
namespace until the end of the
year. Because I felt like just a

1723
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:53,820
personal conviction that it was
that we were moving too fast and

1724
01:54:53,820 --> 01:54:57,270
we needed to slow down a bit to
let people catch up. But I'm

1725
01:54:57,270 --> 01:55:01,110
back in there now started as of
yesterday. Um back in there and

1726
01:55:01,110 --> 01:55:06,000
so we can feel if people were
seeing that the discussions were

1727
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,090
not happening or moving forward,
feel free to pop back in there

1728
01:55:09,090 --> 01:55:11,190
now because I'm going to be
active in the comments again,

1729
01:55:11,370 --> 01:55:13,380
Sam, as we enter, we can move
forward, Sam

1730
01:55:13,380 --> 01:55:15,540
Adam Curry: is paying our rent
today man, another 10,000 from

1731
01:55:15,540 --> 01:55:19,740
Sam Sethi. 100% Adam,
advertisers will pay listeners

1732
01:55:19,740 --> 01:55:22,710
we will be able to tell
advertisers who listened percent

1733
01:55:22,710 --> 01:55:26,310
completed and value paid to
listener. This is negative sets,

1734
01:55:26,310 --> 01:55:29,970
which we already support in true
fans using value time split. If

1735
01:55:29,970 --> 01:55:33,330
I listen, I get paid. If not,
nothing is paid. I'd love to see

1736
01:55:33,330 --> 01:55:36,750
an example of an advertiser
doing that and how you prevent

1737
01:55:37,110 --> 01:55:41,730
clicks. Ma'am, we do another
10,000 phase seven looks super

1738
01:55:41,730 --> 01:55:46,050
hot XMPP client verify and
publisher l fountain will be the

1739
01:55:46,050 --> 01:55:49,980
other app. But we already have
another app. So it's cool. Yeah.

1740
01:55:50,010 --> 01:55:55,110
XMPP I'm kind of excited about
that concept for another 10,000

1741
01:55:55,140 --> 01:55:58,260
samsat. The the medium of
publisher is a static good we

1742
01:55:58,260 --> 01:56:01,980
have a medium of Publisher L and
we also add the feed items we

1743
01:56:01,980 --> 01:56:07,230
can update the publisher page if
a new episode is published. Does

1744
01:56:07,230 --> 01:56:07,920
that make sense?

1745
01:56:11,310 --> 01:56:15,510
Dave Jones: This part of this is
part of their thing where they

1746
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:18,300
where they can add stuff to the
feed back out.

1747
01:56:18,330 --> 01:56:21,120
Adam Curry: I think so. Yeah. So
you can subscribe to the

1748
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:28,860
publisher L and then you get the
episodes there. I think I have

1749
01:56:28,860 --> 01:56:31,020
to go look at it. Okay,

1750
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:34,740
Dave Jones: well, well, well, we
just we need we're gonna start

1751
01:56:34,740 --> 01:56:38,460
having guests again. Yeah, so we
need to have we'll just have Sam

1752
01:56:38,460 --> 01:56:39,000
back on the show. We

1753
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:43,350
Adam Curry: got to have him back
on the show. Then we have

1754
01:56:43,350 --> 01:56:46,200
another 10,000 from Sam we have
implement you might as well be a

1755
01:56:46,200 --> 01:56:49,620
guest we have implemented a
publisher playlist so you follow

1756
01:56:49,620 --> 01:56:52,740
a publisher we notify you of any
new updates got it. That's good.

1757
01:56:52,740 --> 01:56:57,210
So this is going to be in phase
seven then 500 from radio Pete

1758
01:56:57,210 --> 01:57:00,510
Hello radio Pete he says
listening live like a 2.0 Pro

1759
01:57:00,540 --> 01:57:03,300
Happy New Year to you both
hoping to understand more of

1760
01:57:03,300 --> 01:57:07,200
what you talk about in 2024 I'm
sure he got very confused by the

1761
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:11,910
beginning of the show. Probably
sorry. I love people who say I

1762
01:57:11,910 --> 01:57:14,280
listen to the show. I don't get
most of it but I love listening

1763
01:57:14,280 --> 01:57:16,230
to the show. That's that's my
favorite

1764
01:57:16,230 --> 01:57:18,420
Dave Jones: type of feedback.
That is a real as a real

1765
01:57:18,420 --> 01:57:19,200
compliment. It

1766
01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:21,840
Adam Curry: is it is because
we're making stuff entertaining

1767
01:57:21,870 --> 01:57:26,940
even if it's gobbledygook Yeah,

01:58:57,570 --> 01:59:03,540
fountain. See, and here. Here's
our here's our replies. So this

1797
01:59:03,540 --> 01:59:13,020
is from this is from Trevor the
Satanist in Australia. He says

1798
01:59:13,020 --> 01:59:16,050
Hi, Dave, please, this this is
in response to our comment about

1799
01:59:16,050 --> 01:59:21,300
weather about the Satan like,
oh, this dynamic ad is yes.

1800
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:25,500
Adam Curry: Oh, you mean the 666
in our in our what? What was

1801
01:59:25,500 --> 01:59:27,600
that about? I don't remember. At

1802
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:31,650
Dave Jones: least we commented
that. You said that anybody? You

1803
01:59:31,650 --> 01:59:34,890
know you're used to it. Anybody
who allows you know who

1804
01:59:35,190 --> 01:59:39,300
encourages Google and YouTube to
be part of your podcast

1805
01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:40,620
infrastructure. You're

1806
01:59:40,620 --> 01:59:43,140
Adam Curry: one of Satan's
helpers. Yes. And I stand by

1807
01:59:43,140 --> 01:59:44,160
that. Yeah. And

1808
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:47,970
Dave Jones: you said in you also
said that. We made the comment

1809
01:59:47,970 --> 01:59:51,840
that that not even Satan likes
dynamic ad insertion. And he

1810
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:55,290
says, Hi Dave, please accept
this message as Pay Pal booster

1811
01:59:55,290 --> 01:59:58,440
gram. message read next time my
mother PayPal donations

1812
01:59:58,440 --> 02:00:01,440
mentioned congratulations on
episode 161 which had a record

1813
02:00:01,440 --> 02:00:07,860
six references to Satan? To
answer your question, Satan is

1814
02:00:07,860 --> 02:00:11,490
ambivalent about giving RSS to
YouTube. But he's definitely

1815
02:00:11,490 --> 02:00:17,010
against dynamic and it's not
even Satan would stoop that low.

1816
02:00:17,280 --> 02:00:19,650
Also, I know you guys are into
numerology and I know that with

1817
02:00:19,650 --> 02:00:23,250
approval your podcast ID is
9200666. I see what you did

1818
02:00:23,250 --> 02:00:24,360
there. Cheers, Trevor.

1819
02:00:24,720 --> 02:00:26,400
Adam Curry: That's fine. How
much did he give us? What was

1820
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:26,730
his?

1821
02:00:27,540 --> 02:00:29,460
Dave Jones: His monthly is this
$5 more? Thank

1822
02:00:29,460 --> 02:00:31,410
Adam Curry: you. I have a while
we're on that just really

1823
02:00:31,410 --> 02:00:37,050
quickly. You know, I like I like
my email address in my RSS feed.

1824
02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:42,390
I like getting the invitations
to interview people. I like

1825
02:00:42,390 --> 02:00:46,170
being on those I do I do is very
interesting. I've never taken

1826
02:00:46,170 --> 02:00:49,620
advantage of it. But I got this
from a couple of different

1827
02:00:49,620 --> 02:00:53,070
people. So there's a campaign
out there. And I just want to

1828
02:00:53,070 --> 02:00:59,430
let everybody know. It's the
subject line Hi, internet

1829
02:00:59,430 --> 02:01:03,750
traffic from YouTube message.
When we think about all the

1830
02:01:03,750 --> 02:01:06,510
traction, we can gain for
podcast, there are only a few

1831
02:01:06,510 --> 02:01:09,720
channels that really stand out
in regards to high intent

1832
02:01:09,750 --> 02:01:15,870
traffic. The fact of the matter
is that who wrote this chat GPT

1833
02:01:16,320 --> 02:01:18,840
the fact of the matter is that
YouTube is more of a search

1834
02:01:18,840 --> 02:01:22,380
engine than than a social media.
Being able to optimize your

1835
02:01:22,380 --> 02:01:24,930
content to get those people who
are interested in the exact

1836
02:01:24,930 --> 02:01:28,020
topic of a video is imperative.
If you're uploading your video

1837
02:01:28,020 --> 02:01:31,890
to YouTube as is and not doing
any around video optimization,

1838
02:01:32,040 --> 02:01:35,220
you're leaving 1000s if not
hundreds of 1000s of high intent

1839
02:01:35,250 --> 02:01:38,370
engagement on the table. If
you're wondering about how your

1840
02:01:38,370 --> 02:01:40,830
channel is currently performing,
and its potential to grow,

1841
02:01:40,830 --> 02:01:45,510
please feel free to schedule a
call. And I got this message

1842
02:01:45,510 --> 02:01:50,550
from multiple people clearly
through email address in in the

1843
02:01:50,550 --> 02:01:57,630
podcast in RSS feed. So a call
please,

1844
02:01:58,890 --> 02:02:01,110
Dave Jones: people would be
shocked by the amount of by the

1845
02:02:01,110 --> 02:02:06,060
number of people that email us
wanting to know how they can get

1846
02:02:06,090 --> 02:02:07,530
email addresses from the API.

1847
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:10,620
Adam Curry: Oh my god, yeah.
Hey, you know, it's really

1848
02:02:10,620 --> 02:02:13,920
weird. I've been looking I have
a great project that I'm working

1849
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:19,470
on. I'd love to. I'd love to.
I'd love to use podcast index,

1850
02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:22,950
but for some reason I can't seem
to get the email addresses. Is

1851
02:02:22,950 --> 02:02:23,970
this a mistake?

1852
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,030
Dave Jones: Like please? I don't
see it in the documentation

1853
02:02:27,030 --> 02:02:27,720
anywhere yeah, I

1854
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:30,840
Adam Curry: can't find it in the
API Doc's Yeah, okay. Nearby

1855
02:02:30,840 --> 02:02:31,590
That's odd. It

1856
02:02:31,590 --> 02:02:37,410
Dave Jones: shouldn't be there.
Keep looking. Okay, we got Sir

1857
02:02:37,410 --> 02:02:42,930
Brian of London 1948 Boost he
says our struggle booster conf

1858
02:02:44,850 --> 02:02:47,970
don't start don't start this
Brian with with German. I don't

1859
02:02:47,970 --> 02:02:50,700
understand the ins with calm.
Well, not a great idea.

1860
02:02:50,730 --> 02:02:53,700
Adam Curry: Well, mind calm,
which was Hitler's book. That

1861
02:02:53,700 --> 02:02:55,260
literally means my struggle.

1862
02:02:56,220 --> 02:02:59,280
Dave Jones: Okay, so I'm saying
I'm I'm assuming unser calm is

1863
02:02:59,310 --> 02:03:00,000
our struggle.

1864
02:03:00,030 --> 02:03:03,720
Adam Curry: Yes, correct. Okay,
all right. It's only only Jews

1865
02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:07,620
can make these jokes with us.
Right? Yes. Self deprecating in

1866
02:03:07,620 --> 02:03:09,630
an odd way. Yes.

1867
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:14,370
Dave Jones: Is against Google?
Our struggle is against Google.

1868
02:03:14,370 --> 02:03:18,360
Hey, Adam. You should write a
book with that title. Don't do

1869
02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:25,530
that bad. I did have the title
of your podcast. Do you mind

1870
02:03:25,530 --> 02:03:29,760
coming in your transcript
contain comp see how fast how

1871
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:30,630
much advertising

1872
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:35,820
Adam Curry: I hear you can't
even like basketball. Podcasts

1873
02:03:35,850 --> 02:03:39,840
are even get excluded because
all these stupid companies see

1874
02:03:39,840 --> 02:03:43,350
the word shot like oh no, no,
no, we can't that's always

1875
02:03:43,350 --> 02:03:46,620
talking about guns can't do
that. Ellen see

1876
02:03:46,620 --> 02:03:49,920
Dave Jones: Paul 2345 through
fountain is great episode agreed

1877
02:03:49,920 --> 02:03:53,070
that YouTube Google has no
intent is no interest in

1878
02:03:53,070 --> 02:03:55,830
promoting podcasting as its own
medium and your comments on art

1879
02:03:55,830 --> 02:03:59,190
versus AI are valid rather than
spiritual technology. I define

1880
02:03:59,190 --> 02:04:00,180
it as alchemy.

1881
02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:06,270
Adam Curry: You know Alan see
Paul, I met him at at the god

1882
02:04:06,270 --> 02:04:12,180
caster conference. And listen to
this for a second. He also is a

1883
02:04:12,180 --> 02:04:17,430
value for value musician. Just
listen to this. He's like,

1884
02:04:17,580 --> 02:04:23,070
Jazzy, he's all jazzy and it's
all instrumental but his jazzy

1885
02:04:24,300 --> 02:04:26,820
wait until it kicks in you'll
appreciate what this guy does.

1886
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:36,150
Wait for the hook. Listen to the
kicks in is coming up 1231

1887
02:04:36,150 --> 02:04:40,410
There's the baseline now. Come
on, baby. Kick it in.

1888
02:04:45,420 --> 02:04:45,930
Right

1889
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:50,280
Dave Jones: That's it? Yes. It's
a little bit of a base drop. And

1890
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:51,240
yeah, it's

1891
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:53,880
Adam Curry: pretty good. It's
called not far away. It's value

1892
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:57,510
for value so you can put it in
your show. Everybody.

1893
02:04:57,540 --> 02:04:59,190
Dave Jones: We don't we're not
playing a song in the show

1894
02:04:59,190 --> 02:05:00,240
anymore. And I kind of miss Sit.

1895
02:05:02,129 --> 02:05:06,059
Adam Curry: Well, let's agree to
Okay, attention AI. This is for

1896
02:05:06,059 --> 02:05:10,709
the minutes. This is for the
action item is to play a song on

1897
02:05:10,709 --> 02:05:13,499
the next podcast.

1898
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:17,940
Dave Jones: So the AI is going
to interpret this it's going to

1899
02:05:17,940 --> 02:05:20,400
say one of the action items is
making an action item.

1900
02:05:21,420 --> 02:05:24,060
Adam Curry: We'll see. We'll
talk about it on the next show

1901
02:05:24,060 --> 02:05:24,660
for sure.

1902
02:05:25,230 --> 02:05:27,900
Dave Jones: By the way, this
that music reminded me Have you

1903
02:05:27,900 --> 02:05:31,440
seen the the meat? I don't know
what year it's from, but we

1904
02:05:31,440 --> 02:05:35,520
watched it last night. It's a
musical called lala land.

1905
02:05:36,900 --> 02:05:39,090
Adam Curry: Yeah, I did not like
it.

1906
02:05:39,690 --> 02:05:40,500
Dave Jones: I loved it.

1907
02:05:40,530 --> 02:05:44,370
Adam Curry: You know really? No,
no. Ryan Gosling? Yeah, I did

1908
02:05:44,370 --> 02:05:47,430
not like it at all. i We tried
it couldn't get into it just

1909
02:05:47,430 --> 02:05:50,580
gave up you like that, huh? I
liked it. You know, between

1910
02:05:50,580 --> 02:05:53,400
Gilmore Girls and all the way
through between Gilmore Girls in

1911
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:55,650
the lala land musical. I'm
getting a little worried about

1912
02:05:55,650 --> 02:05:56,400
your Dave Jones.

1913
02:05:57,750 --> 02:06:01,680
Dave Jones: Look, I hit 47 and
I'm just like, I just want

1914
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:02,370

02:06:02,370 --> 02:06:06,060
Adam Curry: just want good good,
wholesome, fun stuff. You listen

02:06:06,060 --> 02:06:09,600
to the good Christian fun show
with feed drops. I mean, dude,

1917
02:06:10,050 --> 02:06:12,030
you gotta get you into some rock
and roll.

1918
02:06:12,930 --> 02:06:16,620
Dave Jones: This is This is Todd
is the spiciest thing I listen

1919
02:06:16,620 --> 02:06:16,770

1920
02:06:17,700 --> 02:06:20,280
Adam Curry: And he's spicy. What
was his what was his comment?

1921
02:06:20,580 --> 02:06:24,840
You've got hope in one hand and
pooping the other I mean, I

1922
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:26,580
gotta use that now. So beauty.

1923
02:06:27,270 --> 02:06:29,190
Dave Jones: Open one hand

the Navy. Dave Jackson 7777

1925
02:06:37,710 --> 02:06:38,190
automatic.

1926
02:06:38,220 --> 02:06:42,930
Adam Curry: Where's my striper
boost. Second. I can't believe I

1927
02:06:44,070 --> 02:06:49,230
hear this striper boost. striper
boasts

1928
02:06:49,950 --> 02:06:54,630
Dave Jones: a says standing
ovation. Well done boys. Thanks.

1929
02:06:54,900 --> 02:06:58,290
Now now this is interesting
though. Cast ematic is where

1930
02:06:58,290 --> 02:07:04,380
this boost came from and it has
a reply address in it. Oh, very

1931
02:07:04,380 --> 02:07:07,680
cool can boost back to cast
thematic addresses.

1932
02:07:08,100 --> 02:07:08,730
Adam Curry: I love that he

1933
02:07:08,730 --> 02:07:11,610
Dave Jones: tells me that it's
into cast meta uses Alby so

1934
02:07:11,610 --> 02:07:13,590
anybody using Albie should be
able to

1935
02:07:13,590 --> 02:07:16,200
Adam Curry: do let me tell you
Eric P P. I know you're busy

1936
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:22,590
man. Bro, if I could get a reply
button for boosts I would be

1937
02:07:22,590 --> 02:07:27,870
replying all the time. By love
that idea. Healthy unhealthy,

1938
02:07:27,870 --> 02:07:30,990
Pat obviously. What? How cool
would that be?

1939
02:07:32,370 --> 02:07:33,690
Dave Jones: He's in the chat.
Yes.

1940
02:07:33,720 --> 02:07:38,160
Adam Curry: Yes. Man a few
words. That's right. Yes, action

1941
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:43,200
item Eric TP put reply in the
helipad. Oh,

1942
02:07:43,200 --> 02:07:45,030
Dave Jones: he's he's working.
He says I'm bashing my head

1943
02:07:45,030 --> 02:07:46,020
against that code. Okay,

1944
02:07:46,050 --> 02:07:49,590
Adam Curry: action items bash
head against the code. No.

1945
02:07:49,830 --> 02:07:53,100
Dave Jones: Ai removed that
action item. Let's see. You've

1946
02:07:53,100 --> 02:07:58,020
got to have friends and Belay
that order. Okay, here we go.

1947
02:07:58,050 --> 02:08:02,760
Blueberry 33 333 through. Blue
CLI says channel enter trailer

1948
02:08:02,760 --> 02:08:07,020
Narrator coming sunday live
after no agenda. January 7 and

1949
02:08:07,020 --> 02:08:10,380
the resurrection battle of the
douchebags season two, episode

1950
02:08:10,380 --> 02:08:13,110
one. Here we go again. reverb.
Reverb reverb.

1951
02:08:13,170 --> 02:08:17,070
Adam Curry: Wow. I can't wait
for that. I'll I'll be around.

1952
02:08:17,070 --> 02:08:17,850
I'll listen to it.

1953
02:08:21,030 --> 02:08:23,550
Dave Jones: Okay, that's, that's
it. We've literally got four

1954
02:08:23,550 --> 02:08:25,980
boosts that other than the ones
that arrived before the show.

1955
02:08:26,040 --> 02:08:27,240
And well,

1956
02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:30,300
Adam Curry: the comics or
blogger has failed, I think.

1957
02:08:31,890 --> 02:08:36,630
Dave Jones: Yeah, it failed to
us. The other splits work. Yeah.

1958
02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:39,750
Let me see if I can pull up his
he sent. Yeah,

1959
02:08:39,750 --> 02:08:44,160
Adam Curry: it was interesting.
Because even credit because I'm

1960
02:08:44,160 --> 02:08:48,000
getting other phone booths. I'm
not sure why it failed. Then it

1961
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:53,340
did go and check. And we have
no, I think fountain is now

1962
02:08:53,340 --> 02:08:57,030
completely on Zebedee. So they
probably close out the channel

1963
02:08:57,030 --> 02:09:00,030
to us. And I said, Hey, could
you open one and Oscar said he

1964
02:09:00,030 --> 02:09:03,870
would ask Zebedee to open a
channel to us. So it could have

1965
02:09:03,870 --> 02:09:08,070
been a routing issue. I'm not
sure I mean, the fountain should

1966
02:09:08,070 --> 02:09:11,610
definitely have a channel open
to the index.

1967
02:09:12,420 --> 02:09:14,370
Dave Jones: Oh for sure isn't
here like if they don't that's a

1968
02:09:14,370 --> 02:09:15,720
real problem. We're like we're
like

1969
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:19,080
Adam Curry: the routing Mecca.
And we have you know, our fees

1970
02:09:19,080 --> 02:09:20,400
are almost zero.

1971
02:09:21,450 --> 02:09:27,690
Dave Jones: Well, yeah, I'm
looking at he CSB in his

1972
02:09:27,690 --> 02:09:32,430
screenshot, blanked out his
message. Did you get it on the

1973
02:09:32,490 --> 02:09:32,910
no

1974
02:09:32,910 --> 02:09:36,060
Adam Curry: because believe it
or not, my fiber went down I

1975
02:09:36,060 --> 02:09:40,200
guess last night, around the
time probably around midnight or

1976
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:42,780
something and I didn't notice
that it was down until this

1977
02:09:42,780 --> 02:09:47,310
morning. Now the beautiful thing
about great and not great they

1978
02:09:47,340 --> 02:09:52,710
it's almost perfect. I've
started nine is my node. When if

1979
02:09:52,710 --> 02:09:56,310
you unplug the ethernet and I
wish it would be if there's no

1980
02:09:56,310 --> 02:09:58,530
internet connection on the
Ethernet but if you unplug the

1981
02:09:58,530 --> 02:10:02,310
ethernet, it immediately goes
towards a known Wi Fi network.

1982
02:10:02,790 --> 02:10:08,190
And I have a, I have a backup
system that it then switches

1983
02:10:08,190 --> 02:10:10,830
over to so the minute that
happened I just made I noticed

1984
02:10:10,830 --> 02:10:14,400
that I pulled out the Ethernet
and it switched it over and my

1985
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:16,980
node came right back up,
unfortunately doesn't do that.

1986
02:10:16,980 --> 02:10:20,400
When, when there's when the
connectivity is lost, you know,

1987
02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:23,190
if it still sees packets from
the router or whatever it

1988
02:10:23,190 --> 02:10:26,970
doesn't, it doesn't fail over.
So anyway, so I don't miss the

1989
02:10:26,970 --> 02:10:30,030
eight hours worth of payments.
Okay,

1990
02:10:30,030 --> 02:10:32,400
Dave Jones: well, I got I was
able to it did go through the

1991
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:36,570
fountain boost bot, so I'm able
to see him as a comment. So

1992
02:10:37,590 --> 02:10:39,060
Adam Curry: everything no yeah,
of course. Yeah.

1993
02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:42,810
Dave Jones: I want to give him
credit. 33,000 SATs, says Howdy,

02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:56,340
dot CSB dot lol and get ready to
laugh yo Yos ESP

1998
02:10:56,400 --> 02:11:00,120
Adam Curry: and I just want to
remind CSB that sometimes his

1999
02:11:00,870 --> 02:11:03,480
his command of the English
language comes across as a

2000
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:08,400
little bit harsh desert when
you're criticizing the app

2001
02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:12,510
developers, I mean, I've known
him longer than I've known to

2002
02:11:12,510 --> 02:11:18,060
have my wives you come across as
a dick's have just you know,

2003
02:11:18,090 --> 02:11:21,630
throw you know, when when you
write something that's feedback,

2004
02:11:21,870 --> 02:11:26,490
run it through chat GPT four,
and say please make this sound

2005
02:11:26,490 --> 02:11:30,930
friendly. Because that that's
actually a good idea. I should

2006
02:11:30,930 --> 02:11:31,920
probably do that.

2007
02:11:32,400 --> 02:11:35,130
Dave Jones: Run it through there
and then say, Do I sound like a

2008
02:11:35,130 --> 02:11:36,180
dick? No,

2009
02:11:36,180 --> 02:11:39,900
Adam Curry: no, no, no, just
hold on a second. So this since

2010
02:11:39,900 --> 02:11:43,920
you have a little time. Let me
let me just move just we can try

2011
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:47,910
it right now. I don't have chat
GPT four, but I have 3.5 but

2012
02:11:47,910 --> 02:11:54,330
just find his his post where it
was very mean. He was mean to

2013
02:11:54,330 --> 02:12:00,210
Sam he was mean to Sam actually.
Okay, he says Sam Sethi. I've

2014
02:12:00,210 --> 02:12:04,080
tried your true fans web app but
it's totally useless and bad. No

2015
02:12:04,080 --> 02:12:06,780
indication which splits failed
and which succeeded I tested on

2016
02:12:06,780 --> 02:12:09,240
my doorman podcast and
whispering was not arriving in

2017
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:12,810
full despite appearing in
history a scent pad usability on

2018
02:12:12,810 --> 02:12:16,320
iPhone, so no thanks. If you
will implement in future showing

2019
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:19,080
in history, the splits and their
status for each pen Bookstagram

2020
02:12:19,230 --> 02:12:22,470
then let me know I might take a
look again. So let's copy that.

2021
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:30,360
Okay, let's see what AI does.
It's worth it. Okay. Make this

2022
02:12:30,420 --> 02:12:36,870
message sound friendly. Okay,
paste. See what happens. See

2023
02:12:36,870 --> 02:12:40,620
what it does? Hey, there, I gave
your true fans webapp a shot,

2024
02:12:40,770 --> 02:12:43,860
but I encountered a few
challenges. It was a bit tricky

2025
02:12:43,860 --> 02:12:46,290
to figure out which splits
failed and which one succeeded?

2026
02:12:46,410 --> 02:12:48,930
I tested it on my inactive
podcast I noticed that booster

2027
02:12:48,930 --> 02:12:51,720
grams weren't arriving in full
even though they showed up in

2028
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:55,500
history ascend. The usability of
my iPhone wasn't the best so for

2029
02:12:55,500 --> 02:12:58,590
now I'll pass however, if you
consider implementing a feature

2030
02:12:58,590 --> 02:13:00,810
to show the splits and their
status in the history recent

2031
02:13:00,810 --> 02:13:03,690
Bookstagram in the future I'd be
interested in giving another try

2032
02:13:03,840 --> 02:13:08,850
let me know if that's in the
works. Smile emoji. Wow. Wow.

2033
02:13:09,240 --> 02:13:09,870
Wow, can

2034
02:13:09,870 --> 02:13:13,800
Dave Jones: we can we put this
somehow into podcast index dot

2035
02:13:13,800 --> 02:13:19,230
social, so that when CSB posts
and it detects negativity it

2036
02:13:19,230 --> 02:13:25,500
will automatically do this but
only for us him it still shows

2037
02:13:25,500 --> 02:13:25,650
up

2038
02:13:27,330 --> 02:13:32,250
Adam Curry: that's the new Bozo
filter is you see it as your own

2039
02:13:32,250 --> 02:13:35,640
nasty gram but it shows up for
everybody else in a nice way

2040
02:13:35,670 --> 02:13:41,370
that's a knob there's a use of
AI I actually support hold on so

2041
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:50,460
I'm gonna I'm going to ask him
right now friend friend defied

2042
02:13:50,550 --> 02:13:59,880
with chat GPT paste to find with
doesn't work because it's too

2043
02:13:59,880 --> 02:14:02,670
long for the I don't have enough
no for the

2044
02:14:04,140 --> 02:14:06,660
Dave Jones: mean like this is
this is a good because what will

2045
02:14:06,660 --> 02:14:10,800
happen is just like this this
app is crap this thing is worse

2046
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:14,160
piece of effing junk I've ever
seen and what you get back from

2047
02:14:14,160 --> 02:14:17,760
the developers like little
hearts they're like some kind

2048
02:14:18,990 --> 02:14:20,790
Adam Curry: what was the other
one? He said he said something

2049
02:14:20,790 --> 02:14:22,260
to Oscar Mayer This is funny

2050
02:14:27,090 --> 02:14:28,650
Dave Jones: I think that was the
one about the channel or

2051
02:14:28,650 --> 02:14:30,930
something. Or no, no, I know
what you're talking about is

2052
02:14:30,960 --> 02:14:34,080
that the app gets broken.

2053
02:14:34,440 --> 02:14:37,710
Adam Curry: Yeah, I wish I could
find that one. I was hilarious.

2054
02:14:40,110 --> 02:14:43,620
I can't find it that fast.
Anyway, that's that's that or

2055
02:14:43,620 --> 02:14:47,910
you know be could also could
also be it could be just on the

2056
02:14:47,910 --> 02:14:52,920
receiving side. You could just
turn on make all posts friendly.

2057
02:14:54,720 --> 02:14:57,930
Dave Jones: Yeah. You don't have
a choice. Everything gets friend

2058
02:14:57,930 --> 02:14:58,830
deferred. Yeah,

2059
02:14:58,860 --> 02:15:00,900
Adam Curry: we're not done with
that. Now. That's something that

2060
02:15:00,900 --> 02:15:05,280
I would be okay with I wouldn't
be fine with it oh here it is

2061
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:09,390
understandable way this was the
deplorable that's what it was it

2062
02:15:09,390 --> 02:15:16,830
was the deplorable yes and
deplorable that get Alby is not

2063
02:15:16,830 --> 02:15:20,280
offering okay I'm just
deplorable that get Alby is not

2064
02:15:20,280 --> 02:15:25,920
offering details in dashboard
and an API message sender and

2065
02:15:26,010 --> 02:15:29,400
message texts are calling a
blah, blah blah. was a different

2066
02:15:29,400 --> 02:15:34,380
post about deplorable. Anyway, I
don't I don't remember exactly

2067
02:15:34,380 --> 02:15:35,040
where it was.

2068
02:15:35,100 --> 02:15:37,920
Dave Jones: Let's see ESPYS he's
an AI guy he can he can he can

2069
02:15:37,920 --> 02:15:38,910
figure it out. Yes.

2070
02:15:40,260 --> 02:15:42,030
Adam Curry: That's the way to
write his own script. That's the

2071
02:15:42,030 --> 02:15:44,280
way to go. I think that that
will be perfect. It's much

2072
02:15:44,280 --> 02:15:46,110
better, much better that we do
or do that

2073
02:15:46,110 --> 02:15:48,930
Dave Jones: thing where you know
how you know sometimes they have

2074
02:15:48,930 --> 02:15:52,410
those bots where you can say
where you can tag somebody else

2075
02:15:52,410 --> 02:15:54,870
in the post and the bot will
grab that post and do something

2076
02:15:54,870 --> 02:15:58,920
with it. Yes, yeah. Friend, you
can you see a nasty post from

2077
02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:01,470
somebody. You can say friend to
fight you can send it to the

2078
02:16:01,470 --> 02:16:04,860
friend of five baht and it'll
come back with the nice version.

We're way over. Alright. I will

2105
02:17:38,970 --> 02:17:42,360
get the action items from the AI
later and I'll I'll I'll have

2106
02:17:42,360 --> 02:17:43,590
those ready for the next show.

2107
02:17:44,340 --> 02:17:47,580
Dave Jones: I will predict and
make a bold prediction that as

2108
02:17:47,580 --> 02:17:49,980
of next week, none of these
action items will be done.

2109
02:17:50,010 --> 02:17:50,610
Exactly.

2110
02:17:51,629 --> 02:17:53,459
Adam Curry: Hey, brother, have
yourself a great weekend. Dave.
