So lame. 11 00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:44,160 Sounded good. Yeah, 12 00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:46,410 no, but I don't have now I can't trigger an in the morning 13 00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:47,610 because they don't have those setup. 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,470 No one else okay. I don't think getting killed is a horrible 15 00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:58,140 problem. So Shan you ad lib the opening and I think it worked 16 00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:00,210 out fine.

I'm here in rainy 20 00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:13,110 Pacific Northwest. 21 00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:15,330 Yes. Well, first of all, happy Easter, John. Happy 22 00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:16,200 resurrection. 23 00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:17,250 And 24 00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:21,030 what? Isn't it? Isn't that what Easter is? The resurrection? 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,040 Resurrection resurrection? Yeah. 26 00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:24,030 erection. 27 00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:30,060 You're breaking up. So anyway, yeah. Same to you. Happy Easter 28 00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:31,980 to everybody out there listening to us, even though most of them 29 00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:33,180 won't be listening on Easter. 30 00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:38,160 I don't know. We've got a lot of people on the stream. But yeah, 31 00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:43,530 I'm in the eastern Algarve, which is about as far off the 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,070 beaten track as you can get in the the touristy part of 33 00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:47,670 Portugal. 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,570 wears it? I don't know. We'll see. You 35 00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:54,990 know where Fido is. Down in the South. 36 00:01:55,410 --> 00:01:57,690 I've seen you Oh, right. Right. Well, you're way down there. 37 00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:00,690 Yeah. So if you looked at the map, and you know, our listeners 38 00:02:00,690 --> 00:02:04,200 might actually consider doing that from time to time, you'll 39 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,710 see that Portugal kind of goes down into a point down in the 40 00:02:07,710 --> 00:02:11,550 south. And it's of course, it's embedded right next to Spain. So 41 00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:15,240 we are we're really only maybe 50 kilometers from Spain from 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,880 where we are right now. And so most people, most tourists all 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,720 go to the west of Fatah, which is where the airport is. And 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,900 that's where all the resorts are, etc. We rented a house. 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,550 Yeah, kind of in the sticks. But it's awesome. We got to you 46 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:35,850 know, we got a pool, we got a fantastic view. It's, it's like 47 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:39,630 a huge place. Which downside is I couldn't find a place to set 48 00:02:39,630 --> 00:02:42,390 up other than in a living room because the wireless won't reach 49 00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:44,790 throughout, you know, to all the different rooms in this house. 50 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:47,100 And it's been awesome. It's been really cool. 51 00:02:47,130 --> 00:02:49,620 So reasonably good connection. It sounds like, yeah, 52 00:02:49,829 --> 00:02:52,859 you know, it's, I'm worried about it, because we've been 53 00:02:52,859 --> 00:02:56,699 getting three megabits down, you know, the typical 500 kilobits 54 00:02:56,699 --> 00:03:00,389 up. But it has been just like going down or the router has 55 00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:03,509 been rebooting from time to time at least once a day. So I pray 56 00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:05,909 for it not to happen right now. Well, 57 00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:08,880 if it does, you know, at least we got this much of the show 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,070 done. Hi, everybody. Hey, 59 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,560 good talking to you. So, yeah, what, what's your plans? 60 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:19,320 I'm going to cook a leg of lamb. 61 00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:22,470 Why does that not surprise me? Who's come? Where are you? 62 00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,540 You're in San Francisco. You're Washington still? 63 00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:28,050 No, I'm in Washington. You should listen. Yeah, no, I'm up 64 00:03:28,050 --> 00:03:30,240 here. And the same thing you know, the older that's why I got 65 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:37,140 the br 40. And yeah, legal lamb yesterday, we cooked some 66 00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:40,200 delicious baby back ribs in celebration of Easter. 67 00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:44,550 Do you celebrate Easter? Are you a religious man? 68 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,570 I'm not anti religious. But we celebrate Easter by having 69 00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:55,080 dinner. Right. But my wife always makes up you know, she 70 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,230 used to always hide eggs. And then also she makes a big 71 00:03:58,230 --> 00:04:00,150 basket. Traditionally, every 72 00:04:00,150 --> 00:04:02,460 year so what is the deal with Easter in the eggs? I don't 73 00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:04,770 think I actually know the story behind that. 74 00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:08,310 Well, not sure you've caught me off guard. I have no idea. 75 00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:13,200 Really? You don't know the why the eggs relate to Easter. 76 00:04:13,230 --> 00:04:16,650 That's surprising. I don't like you know, I don't have to google 77 00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:17,280 that. I'll just ask 78 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,919 John. Yeah, well, you should have Googled it. Wherever the 79 00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:25,769 buddy The other thing is, what about Easter bunnies with the 80 00:04:25,769 --> 00:04:26,519 price of bread? 81 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:28,800 What's up with that one? What's the why do we have eggs with 82 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,940 Easter? No idea. She doesn't know. And you should know being 83 00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:38,790 a good Catholic. As she throws a knife in my general direction. 84 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,020 Well, she didn't hit you. So what's in the top of the news 85 00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:46,110 for you? Well, this is going on in part to Gaul. 86 00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:49,140 Yeah, there's Well, obviously you know, the news is kind of 87 00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:52,200 sparse. I haven't haven't been haven't even bought a news feed 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,210 over there. That's more important. What is great. We're 89 00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:59,070 right next door to a real fancy hotel and they have a well known 90 00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:03,300 restaurant. I don't think they're rated with any stars but 91 00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:05,790 they're in all the all the books and magazines that I've read. 92 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:11,760 And I have to say it was outstanding. And you know, 93 00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:14,850 Christina is with us and she brought her boyfriend Dexter who 94 00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:20,070 is Oh, god, oh, shock. Oh, horror, he's a vegetarian. I 95 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:22,650 know. It's like God is punishing me. He's like, Oh, you want to 96 00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:24,540 make fun of those guys here have one. 97 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,690 Geryon. And we're what's the name of the restaurant for God's 98 00:05:30,690 --> 00:05:31,110 sake? 99 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:34,470 Well, if I want it doesn't matter if I say it, then people 100 00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:36,930 know where I am. But that's okay. Laundry. 101 00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:41,850 Oh, well, there's That's an unusual name for a restaurant 102 00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:44,760 never heard of such a place. So many could 103 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,740 there be in the world of laundry haze? 104 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:55,710 So So you took your, your, your potential son in law's to the 105 00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:58,080 restaurant? And they of course have no vegetarian dishes there? 106 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,920 Right. Actually, 107 00:05:58,950 --> 00:06:03,060 they had a special vegetarian menu. Could you believe it? I 108 00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:03,930 was blown away. 109 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,780 Yeah. Well, that's because you know why? Because Portugal is 110 00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:11,700 like one of the great spots for the Brits to hang out. Exactly. 111 00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:16,860 And then Brits and or they have a lot of odd balls in Britain 112 00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:20,430 and most of the vegetarian movements have all begun their 113 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:20,940 guy 114 00:06:20,969 --> 00:06:24,479 and you know, the big if you want to see what what happens in 115 00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:27,029 a credit crunch, come to Portugal because you know, two 116 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:29,249 things have happened eight people just don't have the money 117 00:06:29,249 --> 00:06:32,069 or they're holding back on spending. But secondarily, the 118 00:06:32,069 --> 00:06:36,389 pound is almost equal to the euro. So the so the Brits and 119 00:06:36,389 --> 00:06:38,909 you hear this all the time? Well, you know, what's, why have 120 00:06:38,909 --> 00:06:42,179 a pound if we can't, you know, use our leverage to go places 121 00:06:42,179 --> 00:06:48,509 cheap on vacation and drink until we puke. So attendances, 122 00:06:48,509 --> 00:06:52,169 you know, it's like 30 or 40%. Down, there's occupancy rates 123 00:06:52,169 --> 00:06:56,549 are just, you know, the lowest ever, people are booking at the 124 00:06:56,549 --> 00:07:01,979 very, very last minute. So it's, it's a big problem here. Yeah, 125 00:07:02,129 --> 00:07:02,789 because it is. So 126 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,700 without getting too nosy. What do you pay for the place you 127 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:06,690 have? And how big is it? 128 00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:10,320 I'll tell you exactly, I don't mind. Because what you do is, 129 00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:15,000 you have these, what here's what happened. Throughout the past 10 130 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,650 years in Britain, we had just tons of television programs, a 131 00:07:19,650 --> 00:07:24,480 place in the sun, a home in a way foreign abroad. In and out 132 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,300 my ass, I had all these different shows. And they were 133 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:31,620 on in primetime, and was basically helping you select the 134 00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:35,790 right country as a Brit, to go take your take the money that 135 00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:39,600 was invested in or the value that had increased in your home 136 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,330 in the United Kingdom, and purchase a cheap, you know, 137 00:07:42,330 --> 00:07:45,990 relatively cheap real estate in any of these sunny countries. 138 00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:51,420 And so it was a it talked about a Ponzi scheme. And you know, 139 00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:54,360 all these developments were going on all this EU money came 140 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,720 into all these countries here in Portugal, they put a road 141 00:07:58,740 --> 00:08:01,830 between I guess it's Lisbon. It probably goes further than 142 00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:06,060 Lisbon. But Lisbon, you can go all the way too deep into Spain. 143 00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:09,360 It's a brand new highway. It's like driving on a Formula One 144 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,220 track. It's so beautiful. It used to take five or six hours 145 00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:16,650 to get from Lisbon to Faro. Now, you could do it in two and a 146 00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:18,510 half. I mean, it's just fantastic. So all this 147 00:08:18,510 --> 00:08:21,180 infrastructure, all these buildings start to come about. 148 00:08:21,450 --> 00:08:23,820 And everyone had all this value in their homes, because they 149 00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:26,430 just kept going up and up and up, particularly in the United 150 00:08:26,430 --> 00:08:29,670 Kingdom, all enticed by this television, and you know, these 151 00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:32,160 programs, you have to do this and you got to jump on the 152 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,050 bandwagon and was completely targeted at dinks dual income, 153 00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:41,850 no kids. And so everyone bought these places. Now, of course, it 154 00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:45,810 was like oh shit, you know, in the UK every single day, now you 155 00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:48,930 read it, banks are actually telling people, Hey, you know, 156 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,410 the value of your home dropped, you have to pay us 200,000 157 00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:55,830 pounds right now. You know, and apparently it's in these in 158 00:08:55,830 --> 00:08:58,020 these mortgage contracts, they can do that. So people are 159 00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:03,060 freaking out. So now these new agencies have cropped up. And 160 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,810 their entire job is to market these homes, either on or off 161 00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:11,490 season to rent them out to you know, to individual party, so 162 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:13,620 and they're really good and they're really professional and 163 00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:17,160 they they get you your rental car and take care of your it's 164 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,580 almost like a personal concierge service. So for this place, six 165 00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:24,060 bedrooms, it'll sleep 12 comfortably every bedroom has 166 00:09:24,090 --> 00:09:31,260 its own ensuite bathroom. Nice size heated swimming pool, 1500 167 00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:32,310 pounds for the week. 168 00:09:34,260 --> 00:09:35,130 That's a good deal. 169 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,110 That's an awesome deal. 170 00:09:37,380 --> 00:09:40,080 I mean, you can stand in New York hotel and it cost you that 171 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,310 much. Two nights two 172 00:09:41,310 --> 00:09:44,010 nights. Exactly. And so if you actually if you had 12 people 173 00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:47,400 here, I mean, can you you know, then it's like 100 pounds a 174 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,470 person for the entire week.

But that's 184 00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:17,820 why I like having the the hotel on the restaurant, you know, 185 00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:21,480 around the corner basically. But it is separate. It's not it's 186 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,950 not in a resort. So it's in fact as a farm next door with with 187 00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:28,290 goats. Sounds like goats he by the way. 188 00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:32,130 Goats are noisy. 189 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,720 Oh my goodness. 190 00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:37,650 And they said they have a guttural sound it makes them 191 00:10:37,650 --> 00:10:41,550 sound like they're talking. Yeah. Go 192 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:49,980 so i i woke this morning to some disturbing news. Go figure. 193 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,630 Apparently, the CDC, the United States Centers for Disease 194 00:10:54,630 --> 00:11:00,090 Control has discovered in a study that every single brand of 195 00:11:00,090 --> 00:11:03,510 baby formula on the market but in particular, of course, the 196 00:11:04,170 --> 00:11:17,250 bovine based formula contain. Wait for it perchlorate and 197 00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:20,190 they're now calling a major alert saying well, you know, 198 00:11:20,190 --> 00:11:23,940 there's also plenty of perchlorate in the water in the 199 00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:27,990 in the United States in about 35 states for sure, but probably 200 00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:33,420 everywhere. And the combination of making the formula with you 201 00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:36,300 know, sometimes this formula you Yeah, add water to it, its 202 00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:41,940 powder form could be dangerous to the health of children. And 203 00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:44,430 of course, even though you can't tell me what eggs and the bunny 204 00:11:44,430 --> 00:11:46,710 has to do with Easter, I'm thinking from my buddy John 205 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:49,200 certainly can tell me about perchlorate and what the hell it 206 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,590 is and why it's in our water. Our baby formula. 207 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,620 No, I haven't got a clue. 208 00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:04,830 I thought you'd say that. So I took a liberty. Hey. Now 209 00:12:04,830 --> 00:12:08,640 perchlorate is actually a main ingredient in rocket fuel. 210 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:12,210 Oh, yeah. Well, I do know that rocket fuels like rich 211 00:12:12,510 --> 00:12:15,720 Maclaurin, it's an oxygen booster. 212 00:12:15,989 --> 00:12:19,679 Yeah, exactly. And as you know, it's it's found in Fireworks, 213 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,319 which is how it gets gets into a lot of the drinking water 214 00:12:22,319 --> 00:12:25,259 supplies because people light off these huge firework displays 215 00:12:25,469 --> 00:12:28,259 in the middle of rivers, apparently drinking river 216 00:12:28,379 --> 00:12:35,159 drinking reservoirs. But you know, so the FDA, of course, and 217 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:38,429 the EPA, together are saying, well, you know, it's okay to 218 00:12:38,429 --> 00:12:41,999 have a little bit of perchlorate milk, I just don't understand 219 00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:45,329 it. How can anything be okay in the milk? Shouldn't it just be 220 00:12:45,359 --> 00:12:45,959 milk? 221 00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,820 I don't understand why it can't just be milk. I mean, if they're 222 00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:53,670 at where they're adding water, they're not sure how the pork 223 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:57,180 perchlorate getting into the milk. And that's what's so 224 00:12:57,180 --> 00:12:59,550 frustrating, whether it's whether it's what let's just put 225 00:12:59,550 --> 00:13:01,920 it this way, whether it's harmful or not. How's it getting 226 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,370 in there? 227 00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:06,810 So no one has the answer for that, but I presume it could it 228 00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:08,850 be another one of these things that's being used to up the 229 00:13:08,850 --> 00:13:14,820 protein content? Or is it maybe what it's, it's used? I can't 230 00:13:14,820 --> 00:13:17,790 understand how it's used in the process or how it would be crit 231 00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:18,780 because it 232 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,990 want to get a food chemist just send us some notes, somebody out 233 00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:23,550 there knows, send us a note 234 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:26,280 please, Twitter us or do something. 235 00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:28,230 I wanted to make a point emails good 236 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,800 and wonderful and make a quick mention of a new way to access a 237 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,070 lot of the functionality of this program in our community is no 238 00:13:35,070 --> 00:13:40,170 agenda dot mobi. branded as the iPhone app for the rest of us, 239 00:13:40,830 --> 00:13:47,640 which I like very much.

Okay. I'm just asked 248 00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:17,340 just in passing. Tuesday, 249 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,930 I got some people were very angry at me John gets his news. 250 00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:26,070 They said that the Stop the presses. 251 00:14:26,910 --> 00:14:30,420 They say you know, Hey, man, you were rude to me, me in there, 252 00:14:30,420 --> 00:14:34,200 and you should apologize. And they even actually they were 253 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:36,990 angry YouTube for the last show, which I thought was kind of 254 00:14:36,990 --> 00:14:37,470 funny. 255 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:44,699 Well, good. I need to get more attention. Did Mimi say 256 00:14:44,699 --> 00:14:48,089 anything? No. She said she was kind of caught off guard because 257 00:14:48,089 --> 00:14:51,749 she's normally snarky er than you. And she didn't quite know 258 00:14:51,749 --> 00:14:56,039 what to make of the fact that you were so fun to follow and I 259 00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:01,289 will say this by the way, finally flip Reading, which is 260 00:15:01,289 --> 00:15:06,029 not what you do. I mean, you separate as a goof. And so she 261 00:15:06,029 --> 00:15:08,969 knows that next time she'll you know, she's not gonna she's 262 00:15:08,969 --> 00:15:13,319 gonna give you crap. She says, 263 00:15:14,340 --> 00:15:18,060 like this, Adam and John, I just finished No, I didn't know 264 00:15:18,060 --> 00:15:20,430 agenda 87 and heard you refer you to your listeners as 265 00:15:20,430 --> 00:15:23,250 producers? I was thinking at the time, that probably wasn't a 266 00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:27,150 good idea, actually. Well, I'm happy to be your producer. How 267 00:15:27,150 --> 00:15:30,390 entertaining is a PBS fun drive? How that's how entertaining and 268 00:15:30,390 --> 00:15:34,440 no agenda 87 was going forward. The amount of time spent asking 269 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,980 for donations will not exceed two minutes per show. Do it all 270 00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:40,860 at once or in two pieces, but do not exceed two minutes and do 271 00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:43,740 not mention it more than twice. Adam. There was nothing 272 00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:46,470 entertaining about you being disrespectful to John's wife and 273 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:49,500 their marriage. You sounded like a total total douchebag when you 274 00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:54,180 talked about hooking up with me. Don't be a dick. Yeah, wait, 275 00:15:54,180 --> 00:15:57,390 wait for John. When Adams being a dick and disrespecting your 276 00:15:57,390 --> 00:16:00,030 wife and you don't offend her, you come across like a total 277 00:16:00,030 --> 00:16:00,690 plus. 278 00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:04,410 Yeah, well, here's the problem. I should mention to him. I had 279 00:16:04,410 --> 00:16:07,860 no idea since she had the headphones on what Adam was 280 00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:11,940 saying. So what am I supposed to do be a mind reader? Yeah. Okay. 281 00:16:12,330 --> 00:16:16,680 See, I got the defense here. If it was the normal date to thing 282 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,460 where you turn your speakers down, which would be in the 283 00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:23,700 other studio, then yeah, I would have heard that. And it wouldn't 284 00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:26,160 have gone very far. But I didn't know what the heck was No, I or 285 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,690 was maybe going huh, wha, huh. And you're jacking away. So I 286 00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:33,990 don't know. So there you go. You can't be critical if somebody is 287 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,930 completely out of the loop. Anyway, so don't do that again. 288 00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:45,420 I'm sorry. Good. So, so the big news. You know, when I'm up 289 00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:48,660 here, by the way, I kind of just watch Canadian news. 290 00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:52,890 Yeah, sure. I mean, why bother? Why bother with Amy Winehouse in 291 00:16:52,890 --> 00:16:55,590 the US when you can get real news? Or somebody 292 00:16:55,980 --> 00:17:00,540 mentioned Amy Winehouse on this hour has 22 Really, in which 293 00:17:00,540 --> 00:17:05,070 context? Somebody in some kind of similar context that we 294 00:17:05,100 --> 00:17:10,290 mentioned her does, you know, non news of phony news, that 295 00:17:10,290 --> 00:17:15,690 kind of thing. So they had this weird thing. They have these the 296 00:17:16,020 --> 00:17:20,790 this Rs 22. Minister, if anybody ever gets a chance to see watch 297 00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:24,930 this show, you should. And occasionally they come into the 298 00:17:24,930 --> 00:17:27,870 United States. And they do these. They like to have this 299 00:17:27,870 --> 00:17:31,200 one guy in particular, loves to get people I mean, he just has 300 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,810 some most insulting questions, and then he answers them for 301 00:17:33,810 --> 00:17:36,330 them. The person never gets to say anything. And it's fine to 302 00:17:36,330 --> 00:17:38,850 watch Americans who have obviously never seen the show. 303 00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:45,600 Respond is you know, indignantly Yeah. But they also had these 304 00:17:45,660 --> 00:17:47,970 there's two characters that are they play these two characters 305 00:17:47,970 --> 00:17:53,160 who are foppish Canadian radio announcers, the who do the 306 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,180 classical music show, the stupid, extremely pretentious 307 00:17:57,180 --> 00:18:01,170 jerks. They play ever just ragging on some poor guy had 308 00:18:01,170 --> 00:18:04,530 looks like he had Down syndrome or something. It was just, it 309 00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:09,720 was weird. But anyway, so the big news is the Billy Bob 310 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,910 Thornton story. I don't know about this. Yeah, I don't think 311 00:18:14,910 --> 00:18:19,260 that the US knows much about it either. So in fact, I'm gonna 312 00:18:19,260 --> 00:18:21,420 have to read you the story, because it's actually it's one 313 00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:24,270 of the funniest things going on it's part it's a real news. So 314 00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:26,880 Billy, Billy Bob, I don't have the jingle. So Billy Bob, of 315 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,050 course, famously married married to Angelina Jolie into all kinds 316 00:18:31,050 --> 00:18:33,750 of kinky sex, which is, of course cool if you're with 317 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:38,610 Angelina Jolie. And I think one of the better American actors 318 00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:43,170 excuse me while I eat my grapefruit, 319 00:18:43,229 --> 00:18:45,149 that's, people hate that when you do. 320 00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:57,780 I'm hungry. I just got up. Okay. So yeah. So he goes up to Canada 321 00:18:57,780 --> 00:19:05,130 with his band. His band, you know? Yes. It's called Billy 322 00:19:05,130 --> 00:19:12,540 Bob's band, box masters. And I'm gonna read you the article after 323 00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:15,300 explain kind of what I what I saw. And they were showing this 324 00:19:15,330 --> 00:19:20,700 all over again. I mean, this is just top of the news.

And he goes in and he 327 00:19:27,630 --> 00:19:32,970 just, apparently, never show it. It's on YouTube. He blows up at 328 00:19:32,970 --> 00:19:36,570 this guy because the guy made the mistake of mentioning that 329 00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:37,650 he's an actor. 330 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,460 Instead of what what are you supposed to call him a rock 331 00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:43,950 star? He's Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, yes, my faux PA. 332 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,950 So he blew up at the guy and he just getting chewed out again. 333 00:19:49,950 --> 00:19:52,860 He's shoot at the Canadian audience. And he said the 334 00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:56,670 Canadians this is just before he starts the tour. By the way, he 335 00:19:56,670 --> 00:20:01,140 makes the comment that the Canadians are mashed potatoes 336 00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:02,130 with no gravy. 337 00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:09,780 And that way he's performing in Canada. Yeah. All right, this is 338 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:11,520 this is not the way to start the show. 339 00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:16,500 So, so his first concert in Toronto right after this 340 00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:20,070 comment, the Canadians go crazy and they start yelling at him 341 00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:24,510 booing him in the yelling here's your gravy. booing you get off 342 00:20:24,510 --> 00:20:30,060 the stage.

Thorin told CBC 359 00:21:27,690 --> 00:21:33,570 host Gian Gamos Ghomeshi we tend to play in places where people 360 00:21:33,570 --> 00:21:36,180 throw things at each other and here they just sort of sit there 361 00:21:36,180 --> 00:21:40,350 he said the audience said Thursday show Valley booed the 362 00:21:40,350 --> 00:21:42,990 box matches with some shots of here's the gray hair comes with 363 00:21:42,990 --> 00:21:47,970 the gravy the Toronto Star reported then he said then this 364 00:21:47,970 --> 00:21:49,950 is thing it goes on and on he says because he didn't want to 365 00:21:49,950 --> 00:21:53,610 talk about being an actress is Thorton promotes a mythology 366 00:21:53,610 --> 00:21:57,390 that his cosmic cowboy music came together years ago after a 367 00:21:57,390 --> 00:22:02,070 fight over cold slaw at a Los Angeles chicken restaurant. What 368 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,440 is long and successful career as an actor, director and 369 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,680 screenwriter does not fit with his struggling musician story he 370 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:17,280 tells in interviews about the box Masters is in that just kind 371 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:17,370 of 372 00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:24,810 off field, the people who are are very successful at one thing 373 00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:29,040 so like acting, and then they you know, they they very 374 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,650 typically want to go into singing this happens all the 375 00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:34,680 time, and it just won't work. It becomes an obsession for them. 376 00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:40,800 And I think quite a actually quite an unhealthy one. I was 377 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,870 watching that I told you about that show. It's called Living 378 00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:49,410 with a half. All right, this the English DJ is fantastic show. I 379 00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:52,500 mean, there's only two you bring that up in the show last week, 380 00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:55,500 which I don't remember if I did but it is something that bring 381 00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,470 it up again. Yeah, it has to be seen to believe so this this UK 382 00:22:58,470 --> 00:23:04,080 DJ, who apparently they're on kind of like a lark got got 383 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,110 Hasselhoff record in the charts, one of his early ones around the 384 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:11,730 Berlin Wall time, I guess, which of course he claims. He claims 385 00:23:11,730 --> 00:23:15,750 responsibility that he brought down the wall. And so now 386 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:18,750 they're doing this show where the guy goes out to Bel Air and 387 00:23:18,750 --> 00:23:22,710 lives with him for like a week and is with David Hasselhoff and 388 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:25,590 it's a reality based show. So it's this English, white pasty 389 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:31,980 DJ, with the Hoff and the Hoffs life is phenomenal man. And by 390 00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:35,100 the way, I think David Hasselhoff is severely 391 00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:36,150 underestimated. 392 00:23:37,050 --> 00:23:38,820 I think as what 393 00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:43,440 as a singer, as a performer as a as a as the half. I mean, what 394 00:23:43,470 --> 00:23:46,560 you know, he can solve any problems in the world, John, the 395 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,690 Hoth can do all 396 00:23:50,490 --> 00:23:55,080 so does the DJ or hot or the half dead coined the phrase the 397 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,590 Hof? 398 00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:02,220 I don't know who coined it. It's kind of universally known. I 399 00:24:02,220 --> 00:24:05,730 never heard it before. It's like there's God and then there's the 400 00:24:05,730 --> 00:24:06,330 Hoff 401 00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,910 and like when he was crawling around for the hamburger on the 402 00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:12,330 YouTube 403 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,870 video, but that's part of the beauty of the half man. That's 404 00:24:15,870 --> 00:24:17,400 part of what makes him so wonderful. 405 00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:23,400 And when he's on that show that he does the America's Got 406 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,530 Talent. Yeah, he's just seems like he's 407 00:24:25,530 --> 00:24:28,410 no no he's drunk during the whole show. He's He's completely 408 00:24:28,410 --> 00:24:31,620 drunk. The guy is always slurring his words and then he 409 00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:34,860 gets on like wave runners and and then he you know he's got 410 00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:38,280 like guys who and I've seen this before with with rich guys rich 411 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,040 single guys are divorced but as long as they got tons of money 412 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,280 they'll have like a man servant and the man servants job is 413 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,430 basically to keep them alive. You know, I'm sure you know guys 414 00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:50,970 like this. And no, actually I don't really Oh, it's like you 415 00:24:50,970 --> 00:24:54,510 know, in the manservant drives their car. He makes sure that 416 00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:57,120 when they get drunk and fall down, he picks him up and takes 417 00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:59,340 him home. I mean, it's it's it's sad. It 418 00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:01,620 keeps him from good. You're ready yeah key UI well 419 00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:04,830 just keeps him from dying or killing someone else.

The egg for Easter is 422 00:25:16,020 --> 00:25:20,820 the symbol of life and rebirth. And the rabbit Of course, the 423 00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:24,420 symbol of fertility. We could have known that. We could have 424 00:25:24,420 --> 00:25:31,740 guessed. Yes. That's from unlucky dip. And I don't make it 425 00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:38,700 up man. And macro. Ron says perchlorate kills germs. It's a 426 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:40,560 corporate food preservative. 427 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,680 Hmm Let's see it on too many packages. Anyway, I'll look into 428 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,430 the pork glory 429 00:25:47,460 --> 00:25:49,440 thanks they don't put it on the packages. 430 00:25:49,770 --> 00:25:52,800 No you have to in the US so if there's if it's put in as an 431 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,140 additive why wouldn't you what difference does it make who 432 00:25:55,140 --> 00:25:57,720 knows what it is people don't read those things anyway so 433 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,120 would this get back to the Hoff The Real News 434 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:03,540 Yeah, the office much more interesting. I agree. No, I 435 00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:07,650 think the half can be he can be a symbol of hope. If the off 436 00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:08,250 we're running let's 437 00:26:08,250 --> 00:26:12,090 give it away Hold on. A second. I want to say this guy is like 438 00:26:12,150 --> 00:26:13,620 underrated as a singer. 439 00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:20,190 Not as a singer performer the all rounder hey you have to 440 00:26:20,190 --> 00:26:24,780 Google this video you know the was it blue suede hooked on the 441 00:26:24,780 --> 00:26:25,320 feeling 442 00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:29,400 I don't know yet you know that song Who good Chaka who good 443 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,100 Chaka song but I don't know the video. 444 00:26:32,130 --> 00:26:36,240 Yeah, well, so the half did it.

You 447 00:26:43,170 --> 00:26:46,530 have to make it sound like he's an underrated superstar talent. 448 00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:50,520 But then he says a drunk that needs constant attendance. No, 449 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:50,700 no. 450 00:26:51,090 --> 00:26:54,450 As an entertainer he's underrated Of course. Because 451 00:26:54,450 --> 00:26:57,120 he's extremely entertaining. Yeah, but 452 00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,730 is he entertaining as a campy figure that is just like 453 00:26:59,730 --> 00:27:02,730 laughable. And it's so entertaining. I mean, it's Amy 454 00:27:02,730 --> 00:27:05,700 Winehouse is a little like that. Or is he entertaining? Because 455 00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:08,430 wow, this guy can really belt the songs out. 456 00:27:08,490 --> 00:27:13,620 No, no, he's entertaining because he is the Hoff.

And in what's in, you know, is he, what's he doing 461 00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:30,270 there? I mean, what is he does he 462 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,950 know he's literally living in and around the half and the 463 00:27:34,950 --> 00:27:37,530 half, you know, he's running around. It's like, it's like one 464 00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:41,940 of these typical hyperactive drunk guys. And he's, and he's 465 00:27:41,940 --> 00:27:45,150 like, oh, let's take let's, let's, let's, let's jump into 466 00:27:45,150 --> 00:27:47,460 the let's jump into the the Hummer. And we're going to drive 467 00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:50,520 off to the studio because his daughters are doing. They know, 468 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,950 he's trying to help his daughters into a singing career. 469 00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:57,000 And, you know, they're all upset about their hair. And, you know, 470 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,970 and then it's like, you know, back to back to the Hof cave. 471 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,900 And then we're gonna go ride some wave runners. And then, you 472 00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:06,930 know, it's just, it's, it's nonstop. It's constant. And but 473 00:28:06,930 --> 00:28:10,170 his music career, the guy is obsessed. He's absolutely 474 00:28:10,170 --> 00:28:13,590 obsessed. That's why this radio DJ, he said, Come and live with 475 00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:16,590 me. The guy wants to chart with his records. And he has his 476 00:28:16,590 --> 00:28:22,140 whole half Museum in his house. He's like, Yeah, these gold 477 00:28:22,140 --> 00:28:24,390 records on the wall, these platinum ones. That's because 478 00:28:24,390 --> 00:28:26,820 people never believe I actually sold records here. You know, 479 00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:30,150 Germany, Poland, Lithuania. You know, it's like pointing them 480 00:28:30,150 --> 00:28:36,240 all out. It's fantastic. I think that they've that video could be 481 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,700 the new Rick Roll. You've been asked. 482 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,110 So what do you think could happen? So what is so what do 483 00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:46,170 you think this up where this, this obsession come from? With 484 00:28:46,170 --> 00:28:49,560 actors deciding to be rock and roll stars? Especially, I mean, 485 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,380 looking to Billy Bob store, think the guy the guy's not at 486 00:28:52,380 --> 00:28:56,130 let's put it this way, a spring chicken. You know, I mean, it's 487 00:28:56,130 --> 00:28:59,250 the same if this was singing old blues songs or something, you 488 00:28:59,250 --> 00:29:01,500 know, with the you know, with any could actually play the 489 00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:04,770 guitar? Because these guys don't play. I mean, they're not 490 00:29:04,770 --> 00:29:06,930 playing, you know, some hot licks or anything. They're just 491 00:29:06,930 --> 00:29:10,680 up there. Singing and, you know, most actors and actresses have 492 00:29:10,740 --> 00:29:13,680 had singing lessons, they can do that. What did they want to you 493 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,830 know, do this on the stage like that? 494 00:29:17,370 --> 00:29:21,030 I think it has something to do with maybe it's people who can't 495 00:29:21,030 --> 00:29:25,590 really do or are not into stage would that live in? Because you 496 00:29:25,590 --> 00:29:28,080 know, the the live audience? Of course, you know, and you hear 497 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,380 this all the time. Ah, the love of the audience's that came over 498 00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:34,350 me like a warm blanket. Oh, I love the audience. 499 00:29:34,530 --> 00:29:36,990 You think that these guys you think it's possible? I mean, 500 00:29:36,990 --> 00:29:39,420 because I know a lot of actors, they like to get the you know, 501 00:29:39,420 --> 00:29:41,850 practice in front of a live audience but doing a Broadway 502 00:29:41,850 --> 00:29:44,850 play for about a year. You know, they don't make the big dough, 503 00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:47,880 but they make good TV and they do that because they 504 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,520 watch the audience feedback. It's also a highly addictive 505 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,630 thing. You know, even doing live television shows what manner you 506 00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:56,760 stand on the stage and you say something and the audience 507 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,680 reacts. It's awesome. 508 00:29:59,190 --> 00:30:01,980 Right? It changes Do we have to do your timing? Because of that? 509 00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:03,690 You have to pause if you're in the middle of a joke. 510 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,990 Yes. It sharpens your skills as they say, but I think I just 511 00:30:06,990 --> 00:30:10,140 can't do you know the stage, but it's one of these guys. It's 512 00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:12,120 Woody Allen famously 513 00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:19,799 Keanu Reeves, Bruce Willis. You know, I'm sure we could go on 514 00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:22,199 and on. But yeah, there's a slew of them that you mentioned. 515 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,450 And lots of singers want to become actors. Don't you see 516 00:30:24,450 --> 00:30:27,390 that all the time? Who's the number one failure at trying to 517 00:30:27,390 --> 00:30:30,210 make that transition is Madonna. You know, she's had the best 518 00:30:30,210 --> 00:30:34,920 actors, the best directors. I think, unfortunately, boring 519 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,570 scripts that probably didn't help. 520 00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:42,090 Just to pick the script. You know, people like Madonna when 521 00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:44,070 they're starting off, and then people want them to put them in 522 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:51,390 movies. They have a lot of scripts to look at. Yeah, yeah, 523 00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:54,060 I'm just saying, and she's so if you pick the dog script, I mean, 524 00:30:54,060 --> 00:30:55,200 who you gonna blame? 525 00:30:56,730 --> 00:30:59,880 Well, that's hard to say, you know, when the movie is great. 526 00:31:01,530 --> 00:31:04,740 Everyone responds one way when the movie doesn't do great, it's 527 00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:09,210 another way. But all of a sudden, there's all of that's 528 00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:11,310 going to come to an end all those movies are going away. 529 00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:14,010 It's going to be the last final Bastion because at the end of 530 00:31:14,010 --> 00:31:16,680 the day, people finance movies to get laid with good looking 531 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,650 actresses that's always been the same. This or at least have 532 00:31:19,650 --> 00:31:22,950 dinner with them. And all that's coming to an end. You know, 533 00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:26,610 newspapers are coming to an end. The radio is going out of 534 00:31:26,610 --> 00:31:29,280 business television is going down the tubes that that's 535 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,340 basically just become television, the United States is 536 00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:36,780 absolutely unwatchable. You know, it's all commercials, the 537 00:31:36,810 --> 00:31:40,380 United Kingdom, ITV, a billion pounds in the hole, they're 538 00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:43,320 broke, they're all broke. They're all going out of 539 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,620 business. It's all going away. It's all changing. It's just 540 00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:49,320 some things, you know, taking a little bit longer, but look at 541 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,710 look at the newspapers. It's gotten even worse since we last 542 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:53,640 spoke about it. 543 00:31:54,389 --> 00:31:56,279 And yeah, let's get the numbers. 544 00:31:56,490 --> 00:31:58,170 It's abysmal. 545 00:31:58,830 --> 00:32:01,650 Yeah, Boston Globe's like losing a million a week the San 546 00:32:01,650 --> 00:32:04,980 Francisco Chronicle is losing a bit a million a week. And I'm 547 00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:08,430 thinking a million a week in a newspaper. And then they're 548 00:32:08,430 --> 00:32:10,650 complaining about was the thing that somebody was complaining 549 00:32:10,650 --> 00:32:14,760 about the was listening to a couple of different people that, 550 00:32:14,790 --> 00:32:17,220 you know, there's a lot of pundits coming out floating 551 00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:20,640 around, that are usually newspaper guys who still don't 552 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,710 get it. And they're moaning about the latest thing 553 00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:28,080 everyone's moaning about as well, you know, without the 554 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,210 newspapers, we're not going to, you know, the bloggers will have 555 00:32:33,210 --> 00:32:35,520 nothing to do, they won't be able to write about anything, 556 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,710 because everything they do is derivative, they've never done 557 00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:40,380 an original thing in their life, which is not true in any way. 558 00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:41,100 Absolutely. 559 00:32:41,130 --> 00:32:44,490 It's completely untrue. And in fact, that's what we've talked 560 00:32:44,490 --> 00:32:47,250 about this, that's what Twitter is doing right now, there's new, 561 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,890 there's new born news agencies who are using this medium, bi 562 00:32:52,890 --> 00:32:56,490 directionally. And, of course, there's no I mean, just because 563 00:32:56,490 --> 00:33:00,900 it's not about, you know, some financial Ponzi scheme, which 564 00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:03,450 Yeah, you know, and there will be PM, people like Horowitz 565 00:33:03,450 --> 00:33:05,520 will, will dig into stuff like that, and they'll get pretty 566 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,000 far. But you know, and so, I do other things, you do other 567 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,930 things. It's really one big news organization. The trick is, you 568 00:33:12,930 --> 00:33:16,020 know, who's going to kind of aggregate that or becomes the 569 00:33:16,020 --> 00:33:18,960 believable brand. And I don't even know if that's gonna happen 570 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,840 anymore. I don't know if we need it. 571 00:33:23,550 --> 00:33:26,910 Well, now this guy who has the Associated Press, and I have to 572 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,640 take his name. He used to be the publisher of USA Today. And he's 573 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,430 really never actually far as I can tell. It's never been a news 574 00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:39,510 guy in terms of being a writer a journalist. Yeah. But it could 575 00:33:39,510 --> 00:33:42,270 be wrong. But anyway, he's been now he's threatening. This is 576 00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:44,910 the big news. He's threatening the bloggers. They're gonna 577 00:33:45,930 --> 00:33:48,450 everyone's who's who's republishing. And now, yeah, 578 00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:51,810 I've been seeing all kinds of new organizations cropping up, 579 00:33:51,810 --> 00:33:55,770 like, you know, in order to reproduce your, your newspaper, 580 00:33:55,770 --> 00:33:59,760 legally inside your company, you pay us an annual fee, and then 581 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,790 you can make as many copies as you like, I mean, it's all it's 582 00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:05,820 all just trying to grab money, and it's completely out of 583 00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:09,240 control. It's just the end is nine, my friends. 584 00:34:11,489 --> 00:34:13,319 Well, this Associated Press thinks gonna be interesting to 585 00:34:13,319 --> 00:34:17,279 follow, because they still provide probably 90% of all the 586 00:34:17,279 --> 00:34:22,949 photos to the newspapers themselves, and some original 587 00:34:22,949 --> 00:34:25,619 content, but mostly just shared content. 588 00:34:26,010 --> 00:34:31,590 So at the end of the day, John, I mean, we all we all understand 589 00:34:31,590 --> 00:34:34,800 that the distribution game has changed so many industries, so 590 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,940 many businesses, and I totally believe in people getting paid 591 00:34:38,970 --> 00:34:41,790 one way or the other for what they do or what they have 592 00:34:41,790 --> 00:34:49,020 created intellectually, etc. But what is the model? I mean, this 593 00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:52,320 program, I think, is one you know, is one model where we ask 594 00:34:52,320 --> 00:35:00,000 for donations. But, I mean, what are we going to do? I mean, how 595 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,690 Will it work that that's if you can solve that one? Wow. 596 00:35:04,740 --> 00:35:06,780 Well, it's everything's up in the air. 597 00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:09,810 words wisely spoken. 598 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:12,690 But you know, the thing is bother, don't think it should 599 00:35:12,690 --> 00:35:16,710 bother people, including myself. And it does is that everything's 600 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:19,530 up in the air, but everything has been up in the air since 601 00:35:19,530 --> 00:35:24,990 about 1998 You know, the web, first hit the, you know, hit the 602 00:35:24,990 --> 00:35:29,430 street, I think 9293 And then it started to get some momentum. 603 00:35:29,490 --> 00:35:34,110 And then by 98, you know, five years into it or so when, you 604 00:35:34,110 --> 00:35:35,670 know, people started saying, Well, you know, there's money to 605 00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:39,600 be made. Let's do IPOs and everything's gonna be 606 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,780 disintermediated which is still with this, by the way, 607 00:35:42,780 --> 00:35:45,300 disintermediation for anybody out there. So the only term I 608 00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:50,880 know of done during web 1.0 That was never redefined in the web. 609 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,170 2.0 list of 610 00:35:53,370 --> 00:35:55,620 intermediation? I think 611 00:35:55,620 --> 00:36:00,300 they disinterred it. But whatever the case. People don't 612 00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,280 talk much about disintermediation. But that is 613 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,180 what's what's been going on ever since 98, which is another 614 00:36:06,180 --> 00:36:09,630 words, this channels are all different. And there's like, you 615 00:36:09,630 --> 00:36:11,790 know, I remember having a conversation with somebody about 616 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,940 during the Napster era. And they were, you know, they were 617 00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:17,580 adamant about well, you know, it's just no good, you know, 618 00:36:17,580 --> 00:36:20,580 it's gonna ruin everything can't do that. So just you have to 619 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,190 adapt to it, because there's nothing that's ever going to 620 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:27,450 stop, you know, people doing file change, you know, moving 621 00:36:27,450 --> 00:36:30,510 files around like this, right? And, and it's gonna get worse 622 00:36:30,660 --> 00:36:34,980 and affecting every all evidence is is that the amount of traffic 623 00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:40,170 that's involved with file sharing is just dominates the 624 00:36:40,170 --> 00:36:43,260 internet. Right? Anyway, 625 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,920 maybe it's just over. But I recall those days very well, 626 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:52,020 even 9094 95. We were saying that, Oh, this is going to 627 00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:55,050 change everything. And we were like, No, it's all over. It's 628 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,500 all going to it's, you know, I was experimenting with streaming 629 00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:02,490 audio, and, you know, on 28.8k modems, you know, and it's like, 630 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,570 oh, it's all over. It's, and of course, it took 15 years, and 631 00:37:06,570 --> 00:37:09,990 it'll take another 10 Maybe, for a lot for all these businesses 632 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:13,470 to be dead and gone. But maybe it's just all over. That's just 633 00:37:13,470 --> 00:37:16,140 it. You know, you sit around, there's just no money to be 634 00:37:16,140 --> 00:37:17,550 made. And 635 00:37:19,260 --> 00:37:20,850 for our TV shows, 636 00:37:21,570 --> 00:37:25,050 yeah, I mean, you know, now I'm sure they'll still be you know, 637 00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:28,200 there's still going to be the high bandwidth that people are 638 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,310 going to pay for. So IE, you know, television HD, you're, 639 00:37:32,610 --> 00:37:35,490 maybe you'll just wind up paying for bandwidth, I don't know. 640 00:37:36,930 --> 00:37:41,670 Well, anyway, things are definitely a fluid. Let's put it 641 00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:44,850 that way. And then the models have have yet the models for 642 00:37:44,850 --> 00:37:50,040 actually making money doing what we do, for example, is just 643 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,340 still up in the air. I mean, it could be everything could be 644 00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:56,190 foundation base rowing, I've had a lot of that. When you watch 645 00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:58,380 these guys doing these roundtables about the future of 646 00:37:58,380 --> 00:38:01,350 journalism. There's actually came up with the conversation 647 00:38:01,350 --> 00:38:03,150 Well, I think the future of journalism is we're going to 648 00:38:03,150 --> 00:38:08,700 have you know founding foundations are going to give 649 00:38:08,730 --> 00:38:12,180 you know these investigative reporters money to go 650 00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:15,540 investigate stuff except the foundation don't investigate 651 00:38:15,540 --> 00:38:16,740 them. Yeah, don't 652 00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:17,850 investigate the foundation. 653 00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:21,600 Let's say in the Netherlands, same thing, the telecom concern, 654 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,020 which is the the largest newspaper, it's totally broke, 655 00:38:25,050 --> 00:38:28,320 there are hundreds of millions in the hole. It's just dead. You 656 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,650 know, give it up, guys. I mean, I don't I like newspapers, but 657 00:38:31,650 --> 00:38:34,530 it just doesn't work anymore. It's just gonna end. 658 00:38:36,060 --> 00:38:39,090 Anyway, you know, the one they did what they've done out here 659 00:38:39,090 --> 00:38:41,610 at that, I don't think they've done it at the Chronicle. But 660 00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:44,040 they did it. On the first day with the Seattle post 661 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,090 Intelligencer, which was losing money, they just fold it they 662 00:38:48,090 --> 00:38:50,100 just basically close it's gone. 663 00:38:50,730 --> 00:38:53,670 And I thought they were keeping a little bit for the well, yeah, 664 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:56,070 no, they keeping the online but I'm just saying them that which 665 00:38:56,070 --> 00:38:59,430 is a joke. I mean, anyone's? This is ridiculous. These online 666 00:38:59,430 --> 00:39:03,150 newspapers, they don't get their overhead, they don't have the 667 00:39:03,150 --> 00:39:04,860 structure, right. I mean, it's just like the way when 668 00:39:04,860 --> 00:39:08,430 microcomputers which were they originally called the 9075 76 669 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,950 came onto the scene, the personal computer, which became 670 00:39:10,950 --> 00:39:13,950 the desktop computer, and the workstation, whatever. When 671 00:39:13,950 --> 00:39:16,830 those things came on the scene, they were all wow, you know, 672 00:39:16,830 --> 00:39:20,010 this is just a toy, it's not going to be good for anything. 673 00:39:20,010 --> 00:39:22,290 And it was but it's but the whole structure of the business 674 00:39:22,290 --> 00:39:26,340 was, was such that if it wants to get more and more powerful, 675 00:39:26,340 --> 00:39:28,500 which they did naturally, because of microprocessor 676 00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,980 technology, they kind of, they kind of ate away from the bottom 677 00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:36,090 up. And, you know, the old companies were just top heavy. I 678 00:39:36,090 --> 00:39:40,020 mean, a mainframe operation is just not a it's not efficient. 679 00:39:40,020 --> 00:39:42,870 And that's what's happening with these newspapers that they still 680 00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:46,710 have the old, you know, top heavy model too many editors, 681 00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:50,490 you know, too many middlemen too many, you know, reporters that 682 00:39:50,490 --> 00:39:53,280 really don't do that much because they're, you know, the 683 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,340 union lets them get away with only doing X number of inches, 684 00:39:56,340 --> 00:40:00,810 usually around 75 a week, which is about one app What a blogger 685 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:01,650 produces. So I'm, 686 00:40:02,130 --> 00:40:04,740 I'm just gonna go, I'm going out, I'm going balls to the 687 00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:06,840 wall, I'm supporting anyone who's doing anything. And 688 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,870 there's a couple of people doing some interesting stuff on 689 00:40:09,870 --> 00:40:12,420 Twitter with headlines, which is, of course, what people want, 690 00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:15,240 you know, give me 140 characters worth of headlines, and then 691 00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:17,430 maybe I'll click on a link and go see what it is. And it's just 692 00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:20,040 like RSS, it's no different. It's all the same stuff just 693 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,830 presented a different way. In fact, I'll bet Dave whiners 694 00:40:22,830 --> 00:40:25,320 thinking themselves shit, this is what RSS should have been. 695 00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:28,470 Because it's really simple. You know, it's like, Alright, here's 696 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:30,540 the basics. Here's your parameters. Here's what you can 697 00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:34,980 do. It's almost like a basic computer format. But breaking 698 00:40:34,980 --> 00:40:40,170 news and the ah, en alternative headline news. And there's a 699 00:40:40,170 --> 00:40:42,810 third one that I haven't added to the stream yet. You know, 700 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,430 these are on Twitter, right? Yeah, these 701 00:40:44,430 --> 00:40:46,950 are on I think, well, they have websites, but they're they're 702 00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:50,430 really publishing their headlines on Twitter and with 703 00:40:50,430 --> 00:40:53,100 amazing consistency and accuracy, and okay, they have 704 00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:56,040 dorky stuff, but they are getting their own exclusives. 705 00:40:56,070 --> 00:41:00,240 For instance, did you know that I'm very relevant to the last 706 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:03,540 week so our last conversation that the biggest hit this year 707 00:41:03,540 --> 00:41:06,180 for Passover is kosher coke. Did you know that? 708 00:41:07,290 --> 00:41:08,100 Kosher coke 709 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,020 kosher Coke, is it baby? 710 00:41:13,530 --> 00:41:16,020 No, I never did. I did not know that it existed. 711 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,110 No. But now, the boy that Cessna 172, the Canadian who wanted to 712 00:41:22,110 --> 00:41:25,920 get who says he wanted to get shot down by my fighter jets. 713 00:41:26,250 --> 00:41:29,130 That happened earlier in the week. Did you follow that at 714 00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:33,210 all? No, that wasn't on the news. I didn't see it. Oh, it's 715 00:41:33,210 --> 00:41:37,680 funny that some guy stole a Cessna 172. And he flew across 716 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,050 the border, of course, entered airspace without a flight plan 717 00:41:40,050 --> 00:41:43,740 or etc. And, and they they forced him down and get shut 718 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,550 that they weren't. And he said, Well, this is the the quote. I 719 00:41:47,550 --> 00:41:51,210 mean, I didn't hear him say but the quote is you wanted you 720 00:41:51,210 --> 00:41:54,180 wanted to get shot down? You know, big terror alert. But 721 00:41:54,180 --> 00:41:57,330 yeah, so these guys are on it. Yeah, it's still kind of crude. 722 00:41:57,330 --> 00:42:01,050 But the cool thing is, if you see someone twittering about 723 00:42:01,050 --> 00:42:04,590 something, then you just Twitter and back. And then you know, 724 00:42:04,830 --> 00:42:07,260 then you've got a dialogue, and you've got your news. There you 725 00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:09,000 go, you can be a one man operation. 726 00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:13,230 So you're scraping these things, and then you're putting him on 727 00:42:13,230 --> 00:42:14,040 the stream, right? 728 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,150 I'm not scraping, 729 00:42:15,570 --> 00:42:17,370 what are you doing it? 730 00:42:17,430 --> 00:42:21,420 Oh, I just access the Twitter API download the most the 20 731 00:42:21,420 --> 00:42:26,040 most recent tweets from one of these news organizations, you 732 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,980 know, make some decisions on how many to repeat and keep in 733 00:42:28,980 --> 00:42:32,760 there, and then transcoded into a voice and mp3 file and put it 734 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,400 up on the stream. And that just, you know, cycles every 15 735 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,000 minutes. 736 00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:39,210 Now, is that done audit in an automated fashion? Yes, 737 00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:41,520 that's done automatically. Unfortunately, it's done 738 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,820 automatically from my laptop still. So you kind of got to 739 00:42:44,820 --> 00:42:45,810 keep the laptop on? 740 00:42:46,710 --> 00:42:49,500 No, okay. But you're gonna fix that. Piano? 741 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,700 Yeah. Now, second week of May after I get back from San 742 00:42:53,700 --> 00:42:56,610 Francisco, then I'm going to have more time to dedicate to a 743 00:42:56,610 --> 00:42:58,830 lot of these things. I got a list of shit that I want to do. 744 00:43:00,450 --> 00:43:08,790 So Goldman Sachs is looking to sue this guy who registered the 745 00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:11,400 website, Goldman sachs.com. 746 00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:18,090 It's over, we think we should have registered that. For the 747 00:43:18,090 --> 00:43:18,540 last 748 00:43:18,570 --> 00:43:25,170 we're getting so slow, aren't we? We're super obvious. We're 749 00:43:25,170 --> 00:43:28,530 nuts. I love that. And this is 750 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,660 from Ed Sheeran. They got this to him about you can't it's not 751 00:43:33,660 --> 00:43:34,140 suitable. 752 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,520 It's completely under the Lanham Act. Absolutely. If people can 753 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,460 be confused that they've come to a sucky company called Goldman, 754 00:43:41,490 --> 00:43:43,290 then it's consumer confusion. 755 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,270 I don't know. Yeah, I don't think any confusion whatsoever, 756 00:43:48,270 --> 00:43:48,780 but okay. 757 00:43:48,810 --> 00:43:51,720 But obviously, I mean, this is what I had with the mtv.com 758 00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:54,780 lawsuit. And everyone said, Oh, well, you know, obviously, 759 00:43:54,810 --> 00:43:57,690 you'll never win against Viacom, because they can just keep you 760 00:43:57,690 --> 00:44:00,870 in court forever. And I said, Oh, yeah, watch this. And then I 761 00:44:00,870 --> 00:44:03,660 went to Liz Smith and started bitching and moaning and it 762 00:44:03,660 --> 00:44:10,980 ended real quick. So from the Gitmo nation, Department of 763 00:44:10,980 --> 00:44:13,890 Transportation, our Transportation Security 764 00:44:13,890 --> 00:44:16,140 Administration, we learned something very interesting this 765 00:44:16,140 --> 00:44:20,820 week. A guy was going through the checkpoint and his his 766 00:44:20,820 --> 00:44:25,230 laptop kept going off. You know how they swab it down or looking 767 00:44:25,230 --> 00:44:28,890 for, I guess, certain explosive materials, what would they be 768 00:44:28,890 --> 00:44:32,160 looking for sulfur? What would they be sniffing? They put that 769 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,650 money when they when they swab? Yeah, they swab and they put 770 00:44:34,650 --> 00:44:36,780 that disc into that Little Reader there. What do you think 771 00:44:36,780 --> 00:44:37,800 they're swabbing for? 772 00:44:38,850 --> 00:44:42,690 Well, that I would think they'd be swabbing for various 773 00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:47,700 components of a bomb. In other words, something like ammonium 774 00:44:47,700 --> 00:44:52,680 nitrate perhaps or some other kind of accelerators for 775 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,180 perchlorates. And 776 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,800 for some perchlorate Hey, you got some baby formula? How about 777 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,130 glycerin What glycerin would that count? 778 00:45:04,350 --> 00:45:11,190 Well, I mean, well, glycerin per se, I mean could be used I mean, 779 00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:14,490 glycerin is a cause, of course of component direct component of 780 00:45:14,490 --> 00:45:18,720 nitroglycerin, which could be manufactured as a liquid bomb 781 00:45:19,020 --> 00:45:25,110 sand. Yeah, but this was also a common, you know, thing that 782 00:45:25,110 --> 00:45:29,430 people use for you know, as a, you know, like, use it, it's 783 00:45:29,490 --> 00:45:29,970 just like, 784 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,090 let me help you. So here's, here's what Yes, here's what we 785 00:45:33,090 --> 00:45:39,390 learned the to the TSA agent. You have to they swab this down 786 00:45:39,420 --> 00:45:41,640 this thing down a couple times. I keep getting this reading to 787 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,550 say, you know, do you use a hand lotion when you use this 788 00:45:44,550 --> 00:45:52,920 computer? Of course, we all use hand lotion on our computers 789 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,550 from time to time. Don't wait. So you got to be careful because 790 00:45:56,550 --> 00:46:05,460 that glycerin registered on the swab? Weird. I think it's funny. 791 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,560 Yeah, I guess I mean, it just makes you wonder how much you 792 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,310 know, I guess. 793 00:46:12,570 --> 00:46:15,240 This guy could have had a massive hand lotion issue with 794 00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,740 his computer. You know what I'm saying? Some people 795 00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:18,810 you know, some people have dry hands and they always they're 796 00:46:19,740 --> 00:46:23,670 constantly, you know, sure. Using stuff on their hands. 797 00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:28,650 John, get real. Come on. We all know what the lotions for. 798 00:46:30,390 --> 00:46:33,750 All you're thinking he's using it because he's using the the 799 00:46:33,750 --> 00:46:38,850 laptop as a mass category. Yeah. Hello. Hello. And he's like, 800 00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:41,460 looking at so much. Yeah. And it's like split. It's got so 801 00:46:41,460 --> 00:46:45,090 much stuff on his hands. It gets back and forth button. 802 00:46:46,830 --> 00:46:50,310 He's literally splattering gobs of lotion on his keyboard. 803 00:46:52,140 --> 00:46:54,960 Yeah, well, hopefully that's all. So 804 00:46:55,770 --> 00:46:58,920 a follow up on last week's story. Thank you for posting 805 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,360 this in the drop. No agenda dropped.com. Whoever did this, a 806 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,660 German soldier who stole a bike in the Dutch city of Nicor. UK 807 00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:10,200 at the end of the Second World War regret 64 years later and is 808 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,080 paid back for his crime. There we have it. The war is 809 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:18,540 officially over. The German brought the bike back. Isn't 810 00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:19,470 that great? 811 00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:25,620 It's about time. I personally have taken an interest in this 812 00:47:25,620 --> 00:47:30,690 as you know. Yes. Get it the big news. I think that's kind of 813 00:47:30,690 --> 00:47:36,900 under reported. We ran it on the blog. And then I don't think 814 00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:40,110 somebody mentioned in a tweet, which I should give them credit. 815 00:47:40,110 --> 00:47:45,900 But I don't have it in front of me. But there was four cuts of 816 00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:49,680 the various fiber optic cables in the South 817 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,950 Bay. I read about that this. Someone has been deliberately 818 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:55,350 cutting cables. Is that what I was to understand? 819 00:47:55,620 --> 00:47:58,380 Yeah, and they were and they're like, and they're done in 820 00:47:58,380 --> 00:48:00,720 different places. And there looks like you know, and they're 821 00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:04,860 done. Like people entered a manhole and then found the 822 00:48:04,860 --> 00:48:07,410 cable. And then I don't know if he used bolt cutters, probably 823 00:48:07,410 --> 00:48:10,740 and they just clipped it. And they did it in various areas 824 00:48:10,770 --> 00:48:13,740 that not like, you know, here's what it means. Like they did a 825 00:48:13,770 --> 00:48:17,190 concerted effort. And and I was of the opinion. And I think I 826 00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:19,650 wrote about this in March. I did I wrote this in MarketWatch. 827 00:48:20,820 --> 00:48:27,540 That it looks like to me to be a test of, of the of the network 828 00:48:27,540 --> 00:48:30,810 of the grid. Then somebody's clipping here and clipping there 829 00:48:30,810 --> 00:48:33,360 to see what happens in the clip here to see what happens in that 830 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,570 clip here and here to see what happens kind of thing. Yeah. And 831 00:48:36,570 --> 00:48:40,680 it took out like the South Bay 50,000 People lost. They lost 832 00:48:41,130 --> 00:48:45,990 internet, they lost a landline and they lost cell phone 833 00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:50,310 service. Because the cell phones or or you know, there's towers 834 00:48:50,310 --> 00:48:53,970 are hooked to something right. Yeah. And so it turned out to go 835 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,030 telecommunications down in the area for hours because it takes 836 00:48:57,030 --> 00:48:59,910 forever to read splice. One of these things is, you know, that 837 00:48:59,910 --> 00:49:03,000 has to be done by hand. And it's like a little process. Well, 838 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:03,510 there's 839 00:49:03,510 --> 00:49:06,150 so much weird shit going on, you know, with that? No way lemonade 840 00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:07,320 on the data center. 841 00:49:07,770 --> 00:49:10,590 Yeah, but here's the other thing. That's interesting. So I 842 00:49:10,620 --> 00:49:13,170 made this supposition I just mentioned I said, you know, is 843 00:49:13,170 --> 00:49:15,330 this possibly some sort of a, you know, a prelude to a 844 00:49:15,330 --> 00:49:20,610 terrorist thing? I mean, I just seem to 911 Yeah, but I'm 845 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,120 somebody Twitter's me says, Hey, this happened in South Carolina, 846 00:49:24,510 --> 00:49:27,990 under reported. And now I'm wondering where is it? Oh, is 847 00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:32,730 it? You see where I'm headed? Yes. Well, absolutely. It's like 848 00:49:32,730 --> 00:49:36,510 local news. That is not you know, there's some what's wrong 849 00:49:36,510 --> 00:49:39,360 with this picture? Because it's all happening at the same time, 850 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,540 and it's probably happening here and there. And now they don't 851 00:49:42,540 --> 00:49:44,070 want anyone talking about it. 852 00:49:44,580 --> 00:49:48,270 And we're these are these were major backbones, then that or I 853 00:49:48,270 --> 00:49:50,550 guess local local loopback backbones. 854 00:49:50,910 --> 00:49:53,490 I think they were just local loopback bones. I don't think it 855 00:49:53,490 --> 00:49:57,660 was like any big big chunks. But But I mentioned that the 856 00:49:57,660 --> 00:50:02,280 following the column it's worth reiterating, you know, the the 857 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,470 ease in which I mean, people say, Well, you know, their 858 00:50:04,470 --> 00:50:06,840 refineries or you know, it can be bombed and all this other 859 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,120 stuff. Yeah, if you have a grenade launcher, I suppose you 860 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:14,190 could, you know, blow up a tank. But the both of these things 861 00:50:14,190 --> 00:50:18,090 these, these fiber networks are very clearly marked throughout 862 00:50:18,090 --> 00:50:20,460 the country, like up run here 863 00:50:21,420 --> 00:50:24,150 has like a cut along dotted line kind of type stuff. 864 00:50:24,450 --> 00:50:31,020 Every Samina like the cable that I'm on, is clearly marked out on 865 00:50:31,020 --> 00:50:34,320 the street. And there's a big the biggest cable that we have. 866 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,600 And I think this is the kind of the backbone cable which runs 867 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,710 along Highway 101. If you go driving along the back roads of 868 00:50:40,770 --> 00:50:43,530 the middle of nowhere, you'll see these, you know, these big, 869 00:50:43,770 --> 00:50:46,500 like flags. And the reason of course, is they marked this 870 00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:49,320 thing. So some bonehead doesn't have along the column. Yeah, of 871 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,830 course, right back over the rip the thing out. And so they 872 00:50:52,830 --> 00:50:55,920 ended, you know, you'd also would, like flip the backhoe. 873 00:50:56,370 --> 00:51:00,180 But the, but they're marked all over the place. And I guess the 874 00:51:00,180 --> 00:51:03,060 ones that were in the that the guy got into the manhole cover 875 00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:05,220 and the way they described it was well, you know, he had a 876 00:51:05,220 --> 00:51:07,860 special tool to open the manhole cover, I don't know what you 877 00:51:07,860 --> 00:51:08,970 would shoot was, 878 00:51:09,570 --> 00:51:10,590 or isn't it, just 879 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,490 whatever it is, like whatever it is, it's a 880 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,700 roller skate skate key or something. It's like slip, 881 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,590 like, any special tool. So anyway, so they still but the 882 00:51:22,590 --> 00:51:25,140 manhole, um, I think I've seen them that some of them are 883 00:51:25,140 --> 00:51:28,050 clearly marked, you know, fiber, you know, do not, you know, be 884 00:51:28,050 --> 00:51:31,080 careful. And then they can some places you see, like paint in 885 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,620 the street, you know, like white paint showing where the cable 886 00:51:34,620 --> 00:51:39,510 is. So this is incredibly vulnerable us backbone system in 887 00:51:39,510 --> 00:51:42,750 this us a in terms of somebody want to start cutting cables. 888 00:51:43,380 --> 00:51:49,230 And I don't know, just said to guy, I think something's up. I 889 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,710 know, it's terrorism. They I mentioned that there was they 890 00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:55,980 said, Why doesn't somebody at least suggested that there's 891 00:51:55,980 --> 00:51:58,680 some terrorist activity going on? Perhaps because 892 00:51:59,310 --> 00:52:02,580 it's not on the agenda? No, the press kit hasn't been sent out 893 00:52:02,580 --> 00:52:07,860 yet. My guess that's clear as possible. Yeah. But But anyway. 894 00:52:09,570 --> 00:52:12,450 I'm assuming now that there's places all over the country 895 00:52:12,450 --> 00:52:15,810 where these incidents have happened. All right. So just you 896 00:52:15,810 --> 00:52:15,990 gotta 897 00:52:15,990 --> 00:52:19,140 let us know if this has happened near you. If you 898 00:52:19,140 --> 00:52:22,380 guys listen to the show has information about an 899 00:52:22,770 --> 00:52:25,500 outage. There's also by the way, it's something new where you can 900 00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:28,740 talk about this stuff called no agenda forums.com Is that we 901 00:52:28,740 --> 00:52:30,840 have nothing to do with it. We didn't set it up, but of course, 902 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,940 promoted wholeheartedly. So at Mardi Gras, yeah, might be a 903 00:52:35,940 --> 00:52:38,130 good place to go and post some messages. 904 00:52:39,540 --> 00:52:42,870 Yeah, it would be good. But anyway, so I'm a little bit 905 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,620 concerned about that. And it shouldn't be because if I like 906 00:52:46,620 --> 00:52:50,340 up here, although there's, you know, we have unlikely 907 00:52:50,370 --> 00:52:54,780 anything's going on, but because it's up here, you know, if I 908 00:52:54,780 --> 00:52:58,350 lose this cable, I mean, we lose our cell phones bad enough up 909 00:52:58,350 --> 00:53:01,980 here. And then you lose your landline. Your I can't do the 910 00:53:01,980 --> 00:53:02,820 broadcast. 911 00:53:02,850 --> 00:53:06,510 Oh, no. Oh, no, wait, now it's time to panic. 912 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,170 Wow. And you also have to wonder about the smart grid. 913 00:53:11,340 --> 00:53:13,650 This is, of course, the obvious conclusion is that's a part of 914 00:53:13,650 --> 00:53:16,560 it is you know, this is the test and then we're gonna get our 911 915 00:53:16,770 --> 00:53:19,680 Cyber Terror event, which by the way, is I think, is pretty much 916 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,530 documented, that's going to happen. I mean, this is it's all 917 00:53:22,530 --> 00:53:25,500 in the planning. So whether it's Conficker or whether it's 918 00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:29,280 multiple cuts simultaneously, then you know, that'll be the 919 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,150 reason to shift more money towards the smart grid, and buy 920 00:53:33,150 --> 00:53:35,610 your router. Now, we tested it out with those damn stupid 921 00:53:35,610 --> 00:53:38,700 digital TV boxes, hey, here's another credit card, go get your 922 00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:45,210 special router, which will also protect your children. Jon 923 00:53:45,210 --> 00:53:50,100 Stewart really, really did a disappointing piece the other 924 00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:52,830 day. And if you saw this, where he showed us, you know, his 925 00:53:52,830 --> 00:53:59,580 typical run of clips of Fox News and mainly of Fox News, talking 926 00:53:59,580 --> 00:54:02,520 about this terror of fascist state that we're entering, which 927 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,590 of course is true. Because it's you know, look at the definition 928 00:54:07,590 --> 00:54:11,940 of fascism. Is the government running corporations or vice 929 00:54:11,940 --> 00:54:16,320 versa? corporatism Yeah, yeah, I mean just look what happened to 930 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,680 General Motors and just kick the guy out you know, so that is the 931 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,520 definition right there. And Stuart goes on this long thing 932 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,780 about now you guys should shut up you know if if you guys lose 933 00:54:27,780 --> 00:54:30,900 then you know you have to figure it you have to expect it to be 934 00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:33,690 different and not going the way you want it to go and like oh 935 00:54:33,690 --> 00:54:38,070 man, this is so wrong. It doesn't see it. You know, what 936 00:54:38,070 --> 00:54:43,620 are we now the deficit is projected $13 trillion. Where's 937 00:54:43,620 --> 00:54:45,990 it coming from looking at these beautiful children out by the 938 00:54:45,990 --> 00:54:48,600 pool? They're gonna pay for that. If I can lazy they're not 939 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,710 gonna pay jack shit. They enjoy the pool now kiddies. 940 00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:56,640 There's a lot, which is another thing we have like we have our 941 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,000 deli up here. We have the hardest time getting anyone that 942 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,350 actually wants to work. 943 00:55:02,550 --> 00:55:05,310 Kids don't want to work, right? They just want to chill out. 944 00:55:05,340 --> 00:55:06,210 Chillax. 945 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,640 I'm telling you, and it's and I'm not the only one that's 946 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,790 that's observed this. And it's like, why, you know, they and 947 00:55:11,790 --> 00:55:13,920 they don't they're not interested in learning anything 948 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,430 that the idea of an apprenticeship is long dead. 949 00:55:18,990 --> 00:55:21,750 Nobody has a, you know, they have no skills, they don't learn 950 00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:24,600 anything in school. You know, it's basically a babysitting 951 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:29,100 service. I mean, luckily, my my daughter, you know, who we 952 00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:32,310 homeschooled, you know, finally decided she had to go to high 953 00:55:32,310 --> 00:55:33,540 school to get her, you know, which, of 954 00:55:33,540 --> 00:55:35,430 course is illegal in California. 955 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,030 It's pretty, it's close to it. I mean, it's hard to homeschool in 956 00:55:39,030 --> 00:55:42,030 California, but we're licensed in Washington State, which you 957 00:55:42,030 --> 00:55:45,300 actually get taken out a special permit. And then they test the 958 00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:48,750 kids into Washington state is great for homeschooling. And 959 00:55:48,750 --> 00:55:50,790 anyways, we homeschool and then she goes to a regular high 960 00:55:50,790 --> 00:55:53,400 school and she's just getting straight A's course. It's like 961 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,930 fallen, fallen off a log. In fact, my both my wife and myself 962 00:55:57,930 --> 00:56:01,350 are kind of like, amazed because she's like, put so much effort 963 00:56:01,350 --> 00:56:03,840 into his homework assignment. She's up till one in the 964 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,270 morning, we're going on a PowerPoint presentation for 965 00:56:06,270 --> 00:56:09,960 something, you know, and then she forces herself to get up 966 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,010 when in the morning when she didn't get enough sleep. And 967 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,190 because she's got to get to school. And of course, she's a 968 00:56:17,190 --> 00:56:19,020 grouch. And 969 00:56:20,610 --> 00:56:22,230 of course, they know more. 970 00:56:22,830 --> 00:56:28,170 I mean, she's bubbly, she's a straight a grouch. So you know, 971 00:56:28,170 --> 00:56:31,710 what can I say? Oh, my goodness, amazing, but that shit, but you 972 00:56:31,710 --> 00:56:34,140 know, the rest of the kid later, 973 00:56:34,140 --> 00:56:36,420 so it's clear, and we have a plan for that as well. We're 974 00:56:36,420 --> 00:56:39,750 gonna throw these kids into camp for three months, and we'll kick 975 00:56:39,750 --> 00:56:42,720 their asses into shape. We'll condition them we'll get them 976 00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:43,290 ready. 977 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,830 Can you imagine what that's going to be like? Kids will like 978 00:56:46,830 --> 00:56:47,670 wreck the place 979 00:56:47,700 --> 00:56:50,970 and Michelle Bachman God bless the woman she's she's on almost 980 00:56:50,970 --> 00:56:54,390 every I'm sure extremely conservative talk radio show 981 00:56:54,390 --> 00:56:57,090 talking about these camps and how this no, this enslavement 982 00:56:57,090 --> 00:56:59,670 can't continue. Because of course the bill though the bills 983 00:56:59,670 --> 00:57:05,850 have been introduced and already passed the House to actually 984 00:57:05,850 --> 00:57:10,020 have camps to send your children to mandatory camps. And she's 985 00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:14,520 getting an I gotta call it right now. There's massive, massive 986 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,610 sexual discrimination going on against her. You know, this, 987 00:57:17,610 --> 00:57:22,080 we're a guy that would respond differently. I mean, the people 988 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,680 are just calling her the Kooky mill, you know, the cookie 989 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,110 Cougar, which I think is kind of a cool name, by the way. 990 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,600 Cookie Krueger Who were 991 00:57:31,140 --> 00:57:35,490 you know, it's it's so wrong. And she's actually she's, she's 992 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:41,790 she's a she's a senator. Think or congressman. Congress. 993 00:57:41,790 --> 00:57:45,660 Congresswoman. Yeah, this little bit of respect. And she's saying 994 00:57:45,660 --> 00:57:49,650 some important stuff, but it's just this color kooky. Go back 995 00:57:49,650 --> 00:57:54,000 to the pool, throw on some Bob Marley tapes. Where it's all 996 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,900 good. Yeah. Nothing to insert Nothing to see here jingle here. 997 00:57:58,620 --> 00:58:02,250 So anyway, so it is an issue that you know, and then, and of 998 00:58:02,250 --> 00:58:06,210 course, I always harken back on my own childhood, when I had a 999 00:58:06,210 --> 00:58:10,770 paper route, which of course they killed that idea another 1000 00:58:10,770 --> 00:58:13,290 another vocation that has gone away 1001 00:58:13,770 --> 00:58:17,820 long gone. And Nick said to paper routes as a matter of 1002 00:58:17,820 --> 00:58:20,550 fact, I had my paper route man that was had a paper route and 1003 00:58:20,550 --> 00:58:23,160 one route had the shopper route, which is the easy money, why did 1004 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:24,030 you grow into 1005 00:58:24,030 --> 00:58:26,520 your paper route where, you know, you knew you knew that you 1006 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,070 were because in my neighborhood, it was like an ascension type 1007 00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:31,170 thing.

I don't remember how I got the 1011 00:58:42,390 --> 00:58:47,370 paper route. But I think that, that that mechanism did exist, 1012 00:58:47,610 --> 00:58:50,310 because you know, somebody had to have the paper up before me. 1013 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,080 And what was cool about my paper, which you know, it's kind 1014 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,690 of a mercantile way of looking at it is that I had what was 1015 00:58:57,690 --> 00:59:02,130 called a rural route.

So anyway, I haven't seen 1046 01:00:44,970 --> 01:00:48,690 anything sensitive, except that and people with with the other 1047 01:00:48,690 --> 01:00:51,930 door to door thing we have here into an extreme are people with 1048 01:00:51,930 --> 01:00:55,890 petitions, you know, or people begging for money for one thing 1049 01:00:55,890 --> 01:00:59,550 or another, you know, and during especially during election 1050 01:00:59,550 --> 01:01:02,280 cycles. But anyway, so we had to go door to door to door, you 1051 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,940 know, begging people to take the newspaper. And so of course, 1052 01:01:05,940 --> 01:01:08,370 you'd get so many you know, you'd you'd have a big area and 1053 01:01:08,370 --> 01:01:12,510 then it'd be like, say 50 houses and you got two people just 1054 01:01:12,510 --> 01:01:17,640 subscribe. So they'd send out and the expert the guy, so I 1055 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,310 forgot who's got an expert, I hit that a name for him. And he 1056 01:01:20,310 --> 01:01:23,400 was always like, Oh, God, this guy. He was a professional 1057 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:27,840 salesman would come. And he would say I kid you don't know 1058 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,170 what you're doing. And then they take they, you'd had to go 1059 01:01:31,170 --> 01:01:33,000 through the same process with him 1060 01:01:33,150 --> 01:01:35,400 going door to door he'd show you the ropes, 1061 01:01:36,030 --> 01:01:39,300 show you the ropes. This guy is like he came close to pulling a 1062 01:01:39,300 --> 01:01:43,080 gun out and making people buy the paper. And he was like one 1063 01:01:43,110 --> 01:01:50,250 after another. It was like, you know where I went? And is bang, 1064 01:01:50,250 --> 01:01:53,760 bang, bang, bang, just everybody subscribes when he's done. And 1065 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:58,200 you go wow, this guy. And then you go you still try it. You 1066 01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,130 still sucked. 1067 01:02:00,420 --> 01:02:02,820 It's a fractal of Wall Street in the boiler rooms. 1068 01:02:03,540 --> 01:02:06,270 Exactly. And so anyway, so this guy would get your round numbers 1069 01:02:06,270 --> 01:02:09,540 way up. And so So of course, you still wouldn't correct the rural 1070 01:02:09,540 --> 01:02:12,780 thing. And then the other thing you had to do as a paperboy is 1071 01:02:12,780 --> 01:02:13,980 you had to go? 1072 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,190 Well, every every year at Christmas time, you got to go 1073 01:02:17,190 --> 01:02:20,640 around with your envelopes. Hey, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. 1074 01:02:21,180 --> 01:02:21,630 And you stay 1075 01:02:21,810 --> 01:02:24,180 smiling. Yeah, there was something like that. But the 1076 01:02:24,180 --> 01:02:26,520 thing is, every month you had to go around to everyone. 1077 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,750 Yeah. Oh, that's suck because the people weren't home and 1078 01:02:30,780 --> 01:02:35,400 all kinds of crap. And you had this little receipt book that 1079 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,440 was essentially Yeah, man. 1080 01:02:38,670 --> 01:02:41,460 We had some automation when I was doing my paper route. Did 1081 01:02:41,460 --> 01:02:45,300 you have like a little tablet of clay that you chiseled into Mark 1082 01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:47,790 next next to the map? You 1083 01:02:49,770 --> 01:02:52,170 know, yeah, there's little bitty receipt. But with these little 1084 01:02:52,170 --> 01:02:54,720 bitty receipts that were just the size of a postage stamp, 1085 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:59,640 tear one off each person paid. And you have this like leather 1086 01:03:00,060 --> 01:03:05,580 thing that was it was that you put the money in. I was like the 1087 01:03:05,580 --> 01:03:08,670 one thing I was never very good at was organizing the money. And 1088 01:03:08,670 --> 01:03:12,660 I still to this day remembers some guy, as I'm fumbling 1089 01:03:12,660 --> 01:03:16,140 around, trying to make change for this guy. The guy says to 1090 01:03:16,140 --> 01:03:21,810 me, you know, you handle your money like a drunken sailor. And 1091 01:03:21,810 --> 01:03:25,080 that's always stuck with me because I realized that I do to 1092 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:29,280 this day. Deal with this. 1093 01:03:30,510 --> 01:03:34,080 So hey, I just wanted to just mention something for Gitmo 1094 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,370 nation East because I love the story. And I'm desperately 1095 01:03:38,370 --> 01:03:41,940 trying to track down any shred of evidence. But man, this one's 1096 01:03:41,940 --> 01:03:45,510 just killing me. And I'd always wondered where the name came 1097 01:03:45,510 --> 01:03:49,230 from. And finally, I have some clues apparently. So we had the 1098 01:03:49,230 --> 01:03:52,380 we had the big G 20 protests and everyone was in London and that 1099 01:03:52,380 --> 01:03:55,170 was the big show and all the anchors were there on the street 1100 01:03:55,170 --> 01:03:58,890 and coming to you live from the G 20. Writer. And then everyone 1101 01:03:58,890 --> 01:04:01,860 just went over to Strasbourg. You know, if they went to 1102 01:04:01,860 --> 01:04:04,380 Brussels for a day or two, then they went to Strasbourg, which I 1103 01:04:04,380 --> 01:04:07,320 guess is where all the really shady shit takes place. Because 1104 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:13,110 apparently, on the evening of the third of April 500 of the 1105 01:04:13,110 --> 01:04:18,300 world's elite attended the black mass at the Cathedral of Our 1106 01:04:18,300 --> 01:04:22,350 Lady Strasbourg, the black mass of course, also known as Black 1107 01:04:22,350 --> 01:04:26,700 Sabbath, and I always wonder where that name came from. And 1108 01:04:27,150 --> 01:04:34,200 so this and Pope Benedict, what is it? The sixth 10th I don't 1109 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,520 know. Whatever. He he did the maths and you know, it's it's 1110 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,370 really shrouded in secrecy in this Cathedral has a whole 1111 01:04:41,370 --> 01:04:46,050 history behind it.

I 1165 01:08:07,110 --> 01:08:11,550 understand. So my son is telling me about one of the weird 1166 01:08:11,550 --> 01:08:14,700 underground things that's going on currently in England. 1167 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:21,000 Regarding street cams. Oh, it's he says that there's the people 1168 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:26,370 are putting on entire plays. And a complete you know, whole like 1169 01:08:26,370 --> 01:08:31,530 whole TV shows in ons specifically aimed at the street 1170 01:08:31,530 --> 01:08:34,860 cams, picking them up doing something on the and then then 1171 01:08:34,860 --> 01:08:35,670 requesting from the 1172 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,320 the freedom of input Yeah, this started with a music video. Some 1173 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:44,430 guys basically, you know, perform their song and all these 1174 01:08:44,430 --> 01:08:47,130 different locations including a bus and then they indeed they 1175 01:08:47,130 --> 01:08:50,640 sent a freedom free information request to to the government for 1176 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,130 all the you know, they had the time codes and everything. They 1177 01:08:53,130 --> 01:08:55,530 got it all and they put the music video together. I didn't 1178 01:08:55,530 --> 01:08:57,570 know that they were doing this with plays now. That's awesome, 1179 01:08:57,569 --> 01:09:00,329 ya know that they're currently doing it with plays and short 1180 01:09:00,329 --> 01:09:02,879 stories. You know, they're doing him in front of these cameras. 1181 01:09:02,879 --> 01:09:04,679 And I guess they have microphones so you can hear the 1182 01:09:04,679 --> 01:09:07,919 guys. And so then they request it and they have it all time 1183 01:09:07,919 --> 01:09:10,949 coded. So then they asked for freedom of information. And it's 1184 01:09:10,949 --> 01:09:12,989 the government give them the copy and then they edit 1185 01:09:12,990 --> 01:09:14,610 it. That's awesome. 1186 01:09:15,089 --> 01:09:17,609 But it's like what is it that the government's gonna end up? 1187 01:09:17,819 --> 01:09:21,119 It's gonna cost a fortune. You know, I mean, just seems to me 1188 01:09:21,119 --> 01:09:24,269 that the whole thing is idiotic. I'm not that the kids think it's 1189 01:09:24,269 --> 01:09:26,759 funny, but I'm saying the government Yeah, take 1190 01:09:27,779 --> 01:09:30,899 Yeah, there was a report that came out just the other week in 1191 01:09:30,899 --> 01:09:34,019 the UK the guy responsible for all the procurement of the 1192 01:09:34,019 --> 01:09:36,839 cameras and I think it's what is it there's 40 cameras for every 1193 01:09:36,839 --> 01:09:40,649 person in the United Kingdom. Oh, and your your recorded four 1194 01:09:40,649 --> 01:09:46,019 hours a day wherever you walk in the in the entire British Isles. 1195 01:09:46,769 --> 01:09:50,099 And it turns out that its own that these this camera network 1196 01:09:50,099 --> 01:09:54,149 is only responsible for like less than 1% of all crimes 1197 01:09:54,149 --> 01:09:58,169 solved. And so the obvious reason for this report is to say 1198 01:09:58,169 --> 01:09:59,969 well, we're on the right track. We just need some more 1199 01:09:59,999 --> 01:10:03,509 investment and then we'll we'll be up to the more cameras and 1200 01:10:03,719 --> 01:10:07,709 more cameras. Even here in Portugal I was reading in the in 1201 01:10:07,709 --> 01:10:10,739 a local a local rag. They're doing all these tests now 1202 01:10:10,739 --> 01:10:18,389 rolling out government CCTV programs, it's everywhere. Now. 1203 01:10:18,449 --> 01:10:21,749 Orwell was only off by 25 years didn't do too bad, did he? 1204 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,210 That's pretty close. But the funny thing is about all these 1205 01:10:24,210 --> 01:10:26,550 kids, the guys who sell these cameras must be in seventh 1206 01:10:26,550 --> 01:10:28,650 heaven. Oh, yeah. You know, oh, yeah, 1207 01:10:28,740 --> 01:10:31,590 that's big business. Another Christian, there's 1208 01:10:31,590 --> 01:10:34,050 all the add in, you know, third party stuff like face 1209 01:10:34,050 --> 01:10:36,150 recognition software, which doesn't work. 1210 01:10:38,220 --> 01:10:41,250 Well, they they use in the UK, some of it does work. They use 1211 01:10:41,250 --> 01:10:46,260 that the same technology they use for tracking sport players 1212 01:10:46,650 --> 01:10:50,430 on the field. Some of that works, they use some of that. 1213 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:59,340 Well, you know, it doesn't work as well as it does on CSI. No, 1214 01:10:59,340 --> 01:11:01,770 this shows you there's two things I've always been amused 1215 01:11:01,770 --> 01:11:06,150 by some of the things you see on TV must be I think a lot of it 1216 01:11:06,150 --> 01:11:10,410 is just to completely be fuddle actual criminals who watch the 1217 01:11:10,410 --> 01:11:13,770 shows, because let's face it, they watch the shows. And the 1218 01:11:13,770 --> 01:11:16,380 one of course, which myself you know, I've talked about with my 1219 01:11:16,380 --> 01:11:18,810 kids. And I we're all think it's hilarious when it happens, which 1220 01:11:18,810 --> 01:11:21,330 is keep them on the phone, keep them on the phone for 30 1221 01:11:21,330 --> 01:11:24,540 seconds, so we can trace the call. You know, and they Oh, 1222 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:27,450 yeah, they still do that. 1223 01:11:29,250 --> 01:11:33,120 As a gimmick, and I would not use that as a gimmick in a 1224 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,030 screenplay because it'd be for one thing it llegaste Yeah, is 1225 01:11:36,030 --> 01:11:38,520 it when you get this as you receive the call the all the 1226 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,520 information is there instantly. Because it's all in the header 1227 01:11:41,550 --> 01:11:45,090 nowadays. And of the phone call, I mean, the phone calls got all 1228 01:11:45,090 --> 01:11:48,390 the information on it right? Bang immediately. So you 1229 01:11:48,390 --> 01:11:51,450 wouldn't have to keep anyone in line for more than two days at 1230 01:11:51,450 --> 01:11:54,300 all. Just once they connect, you've got the information you 1231 01:11:54,300 --> 01:11:54,660 want to 1232 01:11:54,690 --> 01:11:56,970 call her ID dude. I mean, how hard is it? 1233 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:00,810 That's like, keep Mundelein for 1234 01:12:06,150 --> 01:12:09,690 No, did they shake their heads? No, no, he didn't get it. Oh, 1235 01:12:09,690 --> 01:12:12,180 dress like cake. But it's just like You're stalling here on the 1236 01:12:12,180 --> 01:12:15,390 story. Let's get back to the plotline throughout the look. 1237 01:12:15,690 --> 01:12:18,090 Now the other one, of course, which is the real one. That's 1238 01:12:18,090 --> 01:12:19,560 just a total eye roller 1239 01:12:19,590 --> 01:12:22,410 is the DNA. The DNA is already ready in seconds. 1240 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:29,070 The DNA to DNA is done same day, same day turnaround service. 1241 01:12:29,370 --> 01:12:32,490 Yeah, there's the DNA site within hours. Sure. They know. 1242 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,270 They pop it on the screen. It's like oh, I had matches. Yes. 1243 01:12:36,540 --> 01:12:37,020 There you go. 1244 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,990 The other way though, the one I was thinking of I forgot about 1245 01:12:39,990 --> 01:12:43,500 the DNA is the is the photo enhancement. Thalia? 1246 01:12:43,890 --> 01:12:47,280 Zoom in? Okay, can you clean it? Can you clean that up a bit? 1247 01:12:47,340 --> 01:12:47,850 Yeah. 1248 01:12:48,450 --> 01:12:54,750 Who said behind the wheel? Oh, that's what's his name? The 1249 01:12:54,750 --> 01:12:55,320 license plate. 1250 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,040 So Right. But you're so wrong. This is meant to condition you. 1251 01:12:59,430 --> 01:13:03,780 This is meant to get you ready to prepare you to become this 1252 01:13:03,780 --> 01:13:07,140 force that is now already a part of our reality. People believe 1253 01:13:07,140 --> 01:13:11,250 it happens that way. So it's just conditioning. So you don't 1254 01:13:11,250 --> 01:13:13,830 even have to then at that point who needs the cameras or the 1255 01:13:13,830 --> 01:13:16,380 fake roof a face recognition, people are walking around saying 1256 01:13:16,380 --> 01:13:18,990 hey, man, I better not do that. Because if I leave my DNA, you 1257 01:13:18,990 --> 01:13:21,420 know, these guys will have it. And one day turnaround service, 1258 01:13:21,450 --> 01:13:23,790 you know, I better not be walking there because they can 1259 01:13:23,790 --> 01:13:26,520 recognize my face and track me forever. You know, that's 1260 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:27,510 beautiful. 1261 01:13:28,770 --> 01:13:31,710 Yeah, well, I don't think it's a plot. But whatever the case is, 1262 01:13:31,710 --> 01:13:34,920 you're probably right, on a base level, but that's why we're 1263 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:35,400 here. 1264 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:36,030 Yes 1265 01:13:36,030 --> 01:13:42,780 to I'm glad people. Which is why now we have our two minutes, two 1266 01:13:42,780 --> 01:13:45,360 minutes to sell people on the idea that they should be 1267 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:49,890 donating to the show dvorak.org/na or no agenda 1268 01:13:49,890 --> 01:13:52,590 library, we need all the help we can get. I have a bunch of new 1269 01:13:52,590 --> 01:13:56,400 people, by the way, who contributed a goodly amount of 1270 01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,360 money, including one and I'm gonna give a teaser here. One 1271 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,150 guy and we'll talk about this on Thursday when I have access to 1272 01:14:03,150 --> 01:14:10,950 the PayPal account. One guy gave us a $1.68 followed by a 1273 01:14:10,950 --> 01:14:18,660 donation of $88.88 tried to figure out why. And there's also 1274 01:14:18,660 --> 01:14:21,810 been a number of other odd. screwball donate help 1275 01:14:21,810 --> 01:14:27,660 helped me with helping with that 188 88 168 Is that what you 1276 01:14:27,660 --> 01:14:30,540 said? Yeah, what do I have to add them up for something? 1277 01:14:32,460 --> 01:14:38,190 The No, the way I saw it was, here's what I interpreted I will 1278 01:14:38,190 --> 01:14:43,770 do this one. I interpreted that he had he Okay, he's Chinese. 1279 01:14:44,670 --> 01:14:52,680 And his last name is Chase ch E. And he I figured he had 8888 1280 01:14:52,770 --> 01:14:55,470 Because that's the Chinese bracket number. Yeah. And then I 1281 01:14:55,470 --> 01:15:01,590 thought 168 was a 16 was one Apple was double A Chinese lucky 1282 01:15:01,590 --> 01:15:06,300 number. So he had 8888 plus two more eights and another eight. 1283 01:15:07,020 --> 01:15:09,750 And I thought just a number. And if you added them all up, you 1284 01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:11,100 know, it was like this, where, 1285 01:15:11,670 --> 01:15:13,770 if you add it all up, it equals 911. 1286 01:15:16,650 --> 01:15:20,220 But during this, so I actually sent him a note saying, What is 1287 01:15:20,220 --> 01:15:24,870 this? And he says, he said that we never I notice at all that 1288 01:15:24,870 --> 01:15:30,750 168 is actually another Chinese LUCKY NUMBER besides eight, 1289 01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:35,430 eight, or besides eight and, and he explained it in vaguely like 1290 01:15:35,430 --> 01:15:40,620 this. The way you pronounce eight, in Chinese is means 1291 01:15:40,620 --> 01:15:45,930 money. And 168 The way you pronounce it, those that number 1292 01:15:45,930 --> 01:15:51,660 means I want to get money. Oh, really. And so 168 is also a 1293 01:15:51,660 --> 01:15:54,840 Chinese lucky number that people you know, that for example, the 1294 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,770 license plate in Hong Kong for aid, or, or a bunch of AIDS, 1295 01:15:59,100 --> 01:16:01,800 generally trades for about a million dollars. Oh, my 1296 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:06,600 goodness. And, I mean, these are Chinese or Chinese bro, real. 1297 01:16:08,010 --> 01:16:10,470 They're wacky, man. They're just wacky. 1298 01:16:10,980 --> 01:16:13,740 So I figured that we should be soliciting somebody because no 1299 01:16:13,740 --> 01:16:15,360 one's done this. Once 1300 01:16:16,290 --> 01:16:19,170 again, when it comes down to the Chinese, if it's not for our 1301 01:16:19,170 --> 01:16:23,220 economy, that is for this show, for the Knights of the no agenda 1302 01:16:23,220 --> 01:16:25,500 roundtable, we have to go to the Chinese 1303 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:29,040 once $168 would be appreciated. So they shall give us 1304 01:16:29,070 --> 01:16:35,220 $8,888,888.88. And that will be enough for us to stop the show. 1305 01:16:36,690 --> 01:16:39,690 Well, I guess we could make a compromise. Yeah, that'd be good 1306 01:16:39,690 --> 01:16:42,900 number. And somebody else did something which I'll mention on 1307 01:16:42,900 --> 01:16:47,820 Thursday or reiterate. He says I want it to clear that I'm only 1308 01:16:47,820 --> 01:16:52,380 donating to the show and it was like I think 50 or $100 He said 1309 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:59,220 to get you off the air your name mentioned that it was for the 1310 01:16:59,220 --> 01:17:02,250 purposes of in case he you know the our list is ever 1311 01:17:02,310 --> 01:17:06,030 investigated. He wants it on record that he wants us off the 1312 01:17:06,030 --> 01:17:08,730 air so when the lists come you know when people make dough, 1313 01:17:08,730 --> 01:17:11,820 right, right, right, right. So like we like the made off list 1314 01:17:11,820 --> 01:17:14,880 and will be floating around the internet so it doesn't get 1315 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,020 incriminated I got it. 1316 01:17:16,350 --> 01:17:21,660 So I'm going to create another category on the on the donation 1317 01:17:21,660 --> 01:17:22,800 page today, hit erase 1318 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,070 whoever gets the 10,000,001st determines whether we stay on or 1319 01:17:26,070 --> 01:17:26,580 leave. 1320 01:17:28,170 --> 01:17:30,420 But I'm gonna have a different category so people can can 1321 01:17:30,420 --> 01:17:34,590 donate to get us off the air. And if additional it went to a 1322 01:17:34,590 --> 01:17:37,200 different, I think that's a great idea. We could also make 1323 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,630 the whole thing about getting you know, John, think about 1324 01:17:39,630 --> 01:17:43,590 this, why don't we just reverse the whole idea? Our goal is 10 1325 01:17:43,590 --> 01:17:48,000 million, right? And we're gonna work very, very, very, very hard 1326 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:52,470 to get to that goal. And when we when we reach that goal, then we 1327 01:17:52,470 --> 01:17:53,850 stop then it's over. 1328 01:17:54,570 --> 01:17:56,340 Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea. 1329 01:17:57,930 --> 01:17:59,640 That's the model of the future. 1330 01:18:01,260 --> 01:18:05,070 Guys off the air give us the model of the future. It's 1331 01:18:05,070 --> 01:18:07,560 perfect. Get rid of them. 1332 01:18:07,590 --> 01:18:10,260 I gotta I gotta brew on this one. I'm liking it. I think 1333 01:18:10,260 --> 01:18:11,160 there's something there. 1334 01:18:11,460 --> 01:18:14,160 Yeah, well, that in the knighthood so anyway, of course, 1335 01:18:15,180 --> 01:18:18,510 anymore. I mentioned in our last 15 seconds. 1336 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,530 No, I just think do what it should be mentioned is no agenda 1337 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,730 no agenda library.com and divorce.org/n. A please help us 1338 01:18:26,730 --> 01:18:29,850 out. So we can go to three Shows a week and then and then of 1339 01:18:29,850 --> 01:18:31,110 course eventually get kicked off the 1340 01:18:31,170 --> 01:18:34,140 off the air. Yeah. So it's, that's the the next step is 1341 01:18:34,140 --> 01:18:36,360 three Shows a week, then, of course, we want to go to four. 1342 01:18:36,750 --> 01:18:39,450 And we can even now we can now that we have a goal, we can set 1343 01:18:39,450 --> 01:18:42,420 the steps. I think this is actually much better. It's it's 1344 01:18:42,420 --> 01:18:46,620 a predictor, you know, we can't become so big that that we start 1345 01:18:46,620 --> 01:18:50,760 to suck, because our destiny is predetermined we're going to 1346 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:54,510 die. Our show will end at that mark. It's I think is this is 1347 01:18:54,510 --> 01:18:56,460 brilliant. I'm sorry. 1348 01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,230 I think there's like a government agency. You know, 1349 01:18:58,230 --> 01:19:00,240 they always set themselves up. Well, we're going to be only 1350 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,060 doing this for the next decade. Yeah, exactly. Then the next 1351 01:19:03,060 --> 01:19:04,530 thing you know, they're in business forever. And there's 1352 01:19:04,530 --> 01:19:07,170 just some dull thing that keeps continue. Yeah, we should be off 1353 01:19:07,170 --> 01:19:09,870 the air. Yeah, we shouldn't get off the air. We can't sustain 1354 01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:11,850 this. No, we're too. We're too interesting. 1355 01:19:13,650 --> 01:19:19,800 Case in point, Moody's, which of course, is one of the well known 1356 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:24,420 rating agencies have, I guess bonds in particular, or at all 1357 01:19:24,420 --> 01:19:27,540 types of debt? Yes, it has essentially downgraded the 1358 01:19:27,540 --> 01:19:28,590 entire country. 1359 01:19:29,970 --> 01:19:31,560 Not that they're honest about it. 1360 01:19:32,820 --> 01:19:36,120 They've they've placed a negative outlook on all 1361 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,540 municipal bonds every single one not singling any of them out 1362 01:19:39,540 --> 01:19:43,560 just all of them Screw it. Isn't isn't bonds pretty much what 1363 01:19:43,590 --> 01:19:46,230 what the country floats on isn't? Isn't that like our main 1364 01:19:46,230 --> 01:19:46,800 tool? 1365 01:19:47,759 --> 01:19:52,589 Well, yeah, pretty much. You know, Andrew Horowitz has talked 1366 01:19:52,589 --> 01:19:58,349 about in one of our shows, one of the unplugged shows that he 1367 01:19:58,679 --> 01:20:03,989 sees no problem. shorting, especially New York bonds, as a 1368 01:20:03,989 --> 01:20:04,349 short 1369 01:20:04,380 --> 01:20:07,020 write shorting his own country, it's the patriotic way to go 1370 01:20:07,620 --> 01:20:10,710 in your own country. This is like when Bill Gates made the 1371 01:20:10,710 --> 01:20:12,900 big announcement this is a few years ago and I have to give him 1372 01:20:12,900 --> 01:20:15,180 credit because I was like, I thought it was irksome when he 1373 01:20:15,180 --> 01:20:18,000 did it. But this is before the when the dollar I think was 1374 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:23,160 around 90 cents. In terms of Euro. Yeah, it was in good 1375 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,860 shape. Yeah. He says he's going all he's getting out of the 1376 01:20:25,860 --> 01:20:31,140 dollar. Yeah, you know. Thanks, Bill. Just ban American made him 1377 01:20:31,140 --> 01:20:33,690 where he is and he's bailing on the dollar. You make some big 1378 01:20:33,690 --> 01:20:36,090 stand. I thought it was deplorable. If he was going to 1379 01:20:36,090 --> 01:20:38,790 do it. He shouldn't have said anything. Yeah, but it was just 1380 01:20:38,790 --> 01:20:39,840 a bad movie. 1381 01:20:39,870 --> 01:20:43,650 You know what he did? He's up you know who his idol is. His 1382 01:20:43,650 --> 01:20:46,320 idol is George Soros who did exactly that with the British 1383 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,210 pound. That's what these guys do, man. 1384 01:20:49,050 --> 01:20:55,620 Well, yeah, it's reliable is Buffett, but it's Soros. Soros. 1385 01:20:56,430 --> 01:20:59,820 It is with sources shores tight with anybody. I'd like to meet 1386 01:20:59,820 --> 01:21:03,960 Soros, Soros, and like a guy that 1387 01:21:03,990 --> 01:21:06,240 would take several meetings before you get through any of 1388 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,760 that outer layer to find anything out. I mean, I got 1389 01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,280 Yeah, but I think what's the trouble because I bet she's got 1390 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,640 some funny thing. me he's got it have some observations that are 1391 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,800 just riotous? Well, yeah, 1392 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:21,150 I mean, well, I believe he's one of he's one of them. Okay. 1393 01:21:21,420 --> 01:21:22,560 That's where I put him. 1394 01:21:23,220 --> 01:21:27,150 Yeah, one of them. He has done a lot with the gates on those guys 1395 01:21:27,150 --> 01:21:28,800 that go into into the bunkers. That 1396 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,980 would be the kind of well, you know, Soros has a very 1397 01:21:31,980 --> 01:21:35,490 interesting past. I think, if I understand his he wrote a book 1398 01:21:35,490 --> 01:21:39,300 and I read an excerpt. So I had a number of books. Well, yes. 1399 01:21:39,330 --> 01:21:41,970 But there was a book about his childhood, I believe, that 1400 01:21:41,970 --> 01:21:45,690 doesn't come from somewhere in Austria, 1401 01:21:46,050 --> 01:21:48,420 or Hungary, or sorry, Hungary, right. 1402 01:21:49,620 --> 01:21:56,340 And I believe that he actually put Jews on trains to be shipped 1403 01:21:56,340 --> 01:22:01,080 off to concentration camps. You guys got a really interesting 1404 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,350 past. I'm not saying that he was, he was a Nazi, or that he 1405 01:22:04,350 --> 01:22:06,420 was doing anything, anything other than just following 1406 01:22:06,420 --> 01:22:11,280 orders. But, you know, he comes from an interesting place. And 1407 01:22:11,310 --> 01:22:15,150 he's got a lot of these like OSI, the Open Society Institute, 1408 01:22:15,450 --> 01:22:15,990 and 1409 01:22:16,440 --> 01:22:21,060 he was in Budapest, Hungary. He was born in 1930. So in 1940, 1410 01:22:21,060 --> 01:22:23,340 when they were shipped, he was only 10. Yeah, have been 12 1411 01:22:23,340 --> 01:22:23,490 years. 1412 01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:28,140 That's That's what that's the context around that age with his 1413 01:22:28,140 --> 01:22:32,070 dad. He was doing that. I should I should look into it. But you 1414 01:22:32,070 --> 01:22:32,610 know, he, 1415 01:22:33,150 --> 01:22:33,720 we should. 1416 01:22:35,370 --> 01:22:39,570 What else? Some other some other cities. It's just, he frightens 1417 01:22:39,570 --> 01:22:44,190 me, I think, is it? Yeah, that OSI has been linked to weapons. 1418 01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:49,710 George Soros. Soros is the son of course, this is excuse me, 1419 01:22:49,710 --> 01:22:56,550 Wikipedia. Esperanto just writer to Vidar sorrows. Tibidabo 1420 01:22:57,390 --> 01:23:01,650 Teodoro was a Hungarian Jew was a prisoner of war during and 1421 01:23:01,650 --> 01:23:03,840 after World War One and eventually escaped from Russia 1422 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,660 to rejoin his family in Budapest, or Budapest. 1423 01:23:07,470 --> 01:23:09,600 I'm gonna have my story completely wrong. I don't know, 1424 01:23:09,660 --> 01:23:10,440 like Quebec will be. 1425 01:23:10,710 --> 01:23:13,680 The thing that's interesting is about it says George was taught 1426 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:18,030 to speak Esperanto from birth. And is this one of the few rare 1427 01:23:18,030 --> 01:23:22,350 native Esperanto speakers by the way, Esperanto. When I was a 1428 01:23:22,350 --> 01:23:26,910 kid, yeah, this was a, you know, that was a crazy movement to 1429 01:23:26,940 --> 01:23:29,340 create this unit. This is like the, you know, trying the 1430 01:23:29,340 --> 01:23:31,980 Chinese or somebody trying to create a universal currency. 1431 01:23:32,820 --> 01:23:35,520 This is why I remember this. I remember this in school. I 1432 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,340 remember there was a rumor going around that we would all have to 1433 01:23:38,340 --> 01:23:41,970 learn Esperanto. I'm like, what? And then, you know, for whatever 1434 01:23:41,970 --> 01:23:44,580 because it was kind of that you had the problem was the French 1435 01:23:44,580 --> 01:23:47,820 wanted to be the they had kind of like the political monopoly 1436 01:23:47,820 --> 01:23:51,690 on language for a long, long time. English of course, the I 1437 01:23:51,810 --> 01:23:55,680 believe the second most spoken language on the planet, and they 1438 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,470 came up with his wacky Esperanto, which is kind of you 1439 01:23:58,470 --> 01:24:01,500 got to pull some Spanish in there. He was like Spanglish. 1440 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,950 Yeah, well, I mean, I think there are probably more native 1441 01:24:04,980 --> 01:24:12,630 Klingons speakers. Or Roberto speakers. Lena, which is a 1442 01:24:12,630 --> 01:24:17,820 genuine language that she created. There was a guy that 1443 01:24:17,820 --> 01:24:21,750 did his paper recently some some paper for bed. He's like a major 1444 01:24:21,750 --> 01:24:26,280 theorist. It's physics. And he he demanded that they produce a 1445 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:30,840 clean version that so people could look at a bunch of 1446 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,170 crackpots anyway, that this to me would because esperano got 1447 01:24:34,170 --> 01:24:38,280 nowhere in terms of this. universal language. You can't 1448 01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:41,160 even get in this way. I think the universal currency thing is 1449 01:24:41,310 --> 01:24:46,050 a dead end. You can't get people to agree on anything. Ever since 1450 01:24:46,050 --> 01:24:51,570 I was a kid. And we all know that's a lie. I found it you 1451 01:24:51,570 --> 01:24:54,840 found it. Ara, 1452 01:24:55,380 --> 01:24:57,780 you've saved the show time to end the show. 1453 01:24:59,190 --> 01:25:01,680 But ever since I was The kid there's this we're gonna go to 1454 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:06,870 the metric system. Oh yeah. You know, USA. Oh, and I've had 1455 01:25:06,870 --> 01:25:10,290 people like just a few years ago. Yeah, no, no, no, you did 1456 01:25:10,290 --> 01:25:13,110 eight and a half by 11. Forget it a four. Everyone's going to a 1457 01:25:13,110 --> 01:25:17,760 four by the way, which I believe a four is an unpleasant shape or 1458 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,190 a piece of paper. Yeah, don't like 1459 01:25:20,190 --> 01:25:24,030 it not for what do you call it is not a golden golden, 1460 01:25:24,420 --> 01:25:26,340 golden nothing. It's long. It looks like 1461 01:25:27,570 --> 01:25:31,890 golden nothing. Hi, everybody. John C. Dvorak. Golden. Nothing 1462 01:25:33,570 --> 01:25:35,820 is guide you right? The dimensions are all screwy. And 1463 01:25:35,820 --> 01:25:38,700 it's like long and stupid. And 1464 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:44,670 the perils of a four Yes. Now we size would love to hate. 1465 01:25:45,210 --> 01:25:47,880 But what everyone was going to Oh worry for it's going to be 1466 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,950 the university standard. Because the you know, these various 1467 01:25:49,950 --> 01:25:52,680 organizations are going to standardize it. And my favorite 1468 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,140 one, I think this was in the late 90s. I remember somebody, 1469 01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:59,280 I'm like, Oh, by the way, anyone who's ever met me knows that 1470 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,680 everyone's like it this befuddled look on my face, where 1471 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,700 I'm like, What are you talking about? Somebody was claiming to 1472 01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:08,460 me? Oh, yes, no, the international organizations are 1473 01:26:08,460 --> 01:26:12,660 going to pay for the metric SW is going to be take over. And in 1474 01:26:12,660 --> 01:26:17,160 fact, if you're not producing all your documents in a4, you 1475 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,430 will be banned from trading on the international markets. 1476 01:26:20,460 --> 01:26:24,330 Yeah. Well, I will tell you things have changed, John, that 1477 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,210 in the United Kingdom, there have been some serious 1478 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:32,010 configurations where shop owners just refused to step away from 1479 01:26:32,010 --> 01:26:34,920 Imperial measurements and use the metric system and they'd 1480 01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:38,820 been threatened with lawsuits. shutdowns. I mean, it's crazy. 1481 01:26:40,410 --> 01:26:41,280 So what's wrong 1482 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:46,620 with the foot? I mean, I think I think I think the concession 1483 01:26:46,620 --> 01:26:49,500 that the United States made and I think is okay, even though I 1484 01:26:49,500 --> 01:26:53,190 don't like it personally, because I'm an old guy, is the 1485 01:26:53,490 --> 01:26:58,560 fact that we went in, in sports in track and field to the, to 1486 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:02,610 the metric 100 meter dash instead of the 100 yard dash. 1487 01:27:03,030 --> 01:27:05,340 And, you know, luckily, they haven't jumped surprised. They 1488 01:27:05,340 --> 01:27:08,610 haven't somebody's hadn't had a movement to change the length of 1489 01:27:08,610 --> 01:27:13,020 a football field from 100 yards to 100 meters. 1490 01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:17,280 But I do like the metric system that does have its advantages, 1491 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:21,180 because you know, 18 centimeters just sounds so much better, you 1492 01:27:21,180 --> 01:27:21,540 know? 1493 01:27:24,270 --> 01:27:28,440 Yeah. Oh, no, that sounds fantastic. I mean, 18 1494 01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:32,850 centimeters. So anyway, the, it's 18 centimeters long. 1495 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:37,530 Exactly. Oh, that's an inch. quibble about an inch. So 1496 01:27:38,370 --> 01:27:41,130 there's a bunch of jokes in there. So the point is, is that 1497 01:27:41,190 --> 01:27:45,120 that's why you have no I have no confidence that a universal 1498 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:50,460 currency when you can't get the United States to adopt a four or 1499 01:27:50,490 --> 01:27:52,200 the metric system in particular. Okay, 1500 01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,780 well, you know, and you bring this up at the end of the show, 1501 01:27:54,780 --> 01:27:58,290 so i We can't get into a huge debate, but the international 1502 01:27:58,290 --> 01:28:01,350 currency will be a spreadsheet currency only and it's called 1503 01:28:01,350 --> 01:28:05,250 the SDR right now is the Special Drawing Rights and it will 1504 01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:10,080 become the gold standard for our crappy dollar and and toilet 1505 01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,960 white pound you know and then this euro thingy that's floating 1506 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,920 around it will all be that's the the currency the actual coin in 1507 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:18,990 your pocket doesn't matter because it's all it is just the 1508 01:28:18,990 --> 01:28:24,570 belief system no matter what you put behind it here we go that's 1509 01:28:24,570 --> 01:28:27,570 why my gold I got my gold I'm good just 1510 01:28:27,570 --> 01:28:31,350 saying that this these universal movements will or was gonna do 1511 01:28:31,350 --> 01:28:33,840 this or was going to do that it's just it didn't fly because 1512 01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:35,610 people just like these British shopkeepers 1513 01:28:35,610 --> 01:28:38,490 now they used to not fly now they're flying because the 1514 01:28:38,490 --> 01:28:41,220 clampdown is here they've got all these concessions the plead 1515 01:28:41,220 --> 01:28:44,730 stage is here so now they can do it that's what the Lisbon Treaty 1516 01:28:44,730 --> 01:28:47,580 is all about. If the laws are in place you don't want to comply 1517 01:28:47,580 --> 01:28:50,640 you stupid slave will show you that's what's happening. 1518 01:28:51,450 --> 01:28:56,640 Well people should be up in arms about this. 1519 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,960 Exactly. I don't have our regular theme music with me for 1520 01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:01,590 some reason. 1521 01:29:02,700 --> 01:29:05,280 So I brought up can we Hamas do we have to hum 1522 01:29:06,900 --> 01:29:15,120 the harpsichord? doesn't quite do it does it? It's 1523 01:29:15,390 --> 01:29:19,380 like we're attending some Polish show about classical music. 1524 01:29:19,919 --> 01:29:25,229 And this was Vivaldi in 14 movements. I want to thank my co 1525 01:29:25,229 --> 01:29:33,719 host, John La Viola Dvorak. My name is Adam curry. 1526 01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:38,280 So I guess this is the end. I'm John C.
