1 00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:04,890 It's Saturday time once again for the highlight of the week 2 00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:08,370 for at least two people I know of coming to you from Gitmo 3 00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:10,800 nation east from the United Kingdom in the affluent suburb 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,440 of Surrey known as Guilford. I'm Adam curry, 5 00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:17,490 and I am here in Gitmo nation west as we like to call it, 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,540 actually these northern Silicon Valley. Also San Francisco Bay 7 00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:25,350 Area, also California. I'm John C. Dvorak. Hey, 8 00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:30,480 hey, now, Omar. Hey, John. Hey, how you doing? 9 00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:34,830 I'm doing better than those guys who invested with that. That 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,730 Ponzi scheme guy who's been apparently in business for 40 11 00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:39,210 years. Isn't 12 00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:42,540 that fantastic? I love that story. And you know, it's like, 13 00:00:42,570 --> 00:00:44,970 yeah, this is the only guy this is the only guy doing it. 14 00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:48,810 The only guy has done it that long and managed to do it to the 15 00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:52,350 tune of $50 billion. This guy if anyone hasn't followed the 16 00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:56,910 story, you should know Bernard Madoff. 17 00:00:57,990 --> 00:01:00,930 He was he was the SEC chairman. Wasn't he at one point? 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,180 No, I think it was headed NASDAQ. Oh, NASDAQ. That's 19 00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:06,630 right. Yeah. And he, but he was notorious. He was just a lot of 20 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:09,420 people consider him the father, the father of modern Wall 21 00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:09,990 Street. 22 00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:13,590 Yeah. Well, my case in point. Yeah, there's the 23 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:17,820 there it is summarised. And but if you talk to these guys in the 24 00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:21,240 business, this is essentially and I mentioned this on the 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,530 blog. This is almost the same thing as in terms of what a 26 00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:29,400 letdown this was. This is kind of like people discovering that 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,110 Mother Teresa was a hooker. 28 00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:38,040 I love that analogy. Spot on. That's exactly right. Or that 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,770 Obama was involved with Chicago mobsters. I mean that kind of 30 00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:42,990 stuff. It could just set you off you know really disappointed. 31 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,030 Really, really disappoint yet. 32 00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:48,780 Yeah. So while we're on that tight we I mean, anyway, 33 00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:51,330 apparently everybody you know, there's a bunch of people just 34 00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:53,370 it looks like they're gonna lose their shirt 35 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560 with the hat. What happened though is the guys conscience 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,930 got the better of him and he gave himself up. 37 00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:02,460 We're, here's what we're here's what some people are thinking. 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,450 Okay. They were closing in on him because he was getting too 39 00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:09,450 many redemptions because of the economic situation explain 40 00:02:09,450 --> 00:02:11,820 what the EXPLAIN redemption how that works with the hedge fund 41 00:02:11,820 --> 00:02:13,230 because not everybody knows 42 00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:17,460 you have that you're cashing out right? But it takes what you 43 00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:20,310 can't cash so you can't just go up and say hey, I want my money. 44 00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:22,680 The is there is a process involved and 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,620 you can if you have a Senate seat for sale 46 00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:30,060 so anyway, so you get your get you can only if he doesn't at 47 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:32,220 some point, he's essentially going to run out of money 48 00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:35,760 because he's old game was to nobody redeemed because he 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,100 always had these great returns. So you kept accumulating more 50 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:39,600 money, which never really exists. Let me 51 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:41,729 just explain that part really quick. So he would take like, 52 00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,909 Just give him make it simple a million dollars from someone and 53 00:02:44,909 --> 00:02:48,479 then he would return maybe $200,000 profit at the end of 54 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:51,749 the year, but it wasn't actually because of his investments. It's 55 00:02:51,749 --> 00:02:54,959 because he got another 200 people to join up and give him 56 00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:58,199 200 million he was Ponzi scheme Ponzi scheme, right. So he's 57 00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:00,899 taking them taking the new money and paying it off as if he was 58 00:03:00,899 --> 00:03:01,799 being successful. 59 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:06,359 By the way let's delve into just as an aside here. Before I go 60 00:03:06,359 --> 00:03:11,429 into the theory about this guy, I want to read you a paragraph 61 00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:17,699 from the big money which was published in its from Slate 62 00:03:17,699 --> 00:03:23,219 Magazine and and I just I'm wondering is there any editors 63 00:03:23,219 --> 00:03:26,549 or is this guy know what he's talking about? From big 64 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:28,110 money? Is that a column what is that 65 00:03:28,289 --> 00:03:31,169 it's it's a website called The Big Money Oh, calm 66 00:03:31,260 --> 00:03:31,650 All right. 67 00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:38,460 Let me just read this. This is Mark kind of can't pronounce his 68 00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:42,540 name Gmail or g i m e im anyway. And this is the first graph 69 00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:45,060 Bernard Madoff one of Wall Street's best known brokers and 70 00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:48,150 money managers was arrested blah, blah, blah. The whole 71 00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:51,720 thing was, as the criminal complaint quotes Madoff himself 72 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,460 saying basically a giant Ponzi scheme and then he didn't then 73 00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:59,370 he finishes the sentence and with this in which investors who 74 00:03:59,370 --> 00:04:03,330 wanted their money back got paid with earlier investors money no 75 00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:06,750 that would be later investors money. Yeah, I mean, that's a 76 00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:09,840 Ponzi scheme. As you know, you pay with newer people coming in, 77 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,540 it's how it works. You don't pay with earlier investment. That's 78 00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:14,700 a note that's legitimate business. 79 00:04:15,629 --> 00:04:17,999 Yeah, that's exactly that would that would be like an investment 80 00:04:17,999 --> 00:04:18,899 business, right? 81 00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:23,070 So it's like, okay, so I'm starting off with the first 82 00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:26,940 paragraph of this analysis and this is what you define as a 83 00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:30,480 Ponzi scheme. I'm thinking do we have you know, does he know or 84 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,500 did you know anything? Yeah, I think it may have been just an 85 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,610 you know kind of a stumble give writers you know, you do to 86 00:04:38,610 --> 00:04:41,040 some, you know, we've been the I thought to be an editor or 87 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,850 somebody picked this up and been changed by now. Anyway, so this 88 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,810 this thinking goes as follows. There was gonna it was gonna 89 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,300 just think was going to collapse because of the economy right 90 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,240 now, and he couldn't possibly redeem. I think he had 17 91 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,650 billion. Yeah, because everyone 92 00:04:55,650 --> 00:04:58,110 wanted their money back and they were waiting, so he knew there 93 00:04:58,110 --> 00:05:00,360 was no way he could do it. He couldn't get any more Capital 94 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,440 indeed and pretend. 95 00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:06,960 So supposedly, he told his two sons that it was a Ponzi scheme. 96 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,840 And he was going to not he's going to turn himself in in a 97 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:12,660 week after he gave us equity give what little money was left 98 00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:15,570 to some of his employees who could use a Christmas bonus or 99 00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:17,100 something like that, like 100 100 100 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,800 million he was going to give his last 100 million to his 101 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,030 employees and family. 102 00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:25,500 Yeah. So the two boys at all. This is unbelievable. So they 103 00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:29,550 turned him in. Now, the thinking is, of course, is that the boys 104 00:05:29,550 --> 00:05:34,800 were in on it. Potentially, allegedly, perhaps. Right. And 105 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:40,050 some, and this whole thing was a gambit to get them off the hook. 106 00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:43,440 Right? He wasn't intending and giving anybody any money 107 00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:45,930 whatsoever. I mean, whatever money's been, you know, 108 00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:49,950 squirrelled away for people as long since, you know, in 109 00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:55,560 Switzerland. And so perhaps the idea was to save, you know, just 110 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,590 son's from getting caught up in what's gonna happen to hitting 111 00:05:58,590 --> 00:06:01,740 next. Yeah, gonna get better. I mean, it's gonna be jail. And 112 00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:03,990 for him for sure what they did to Martha Stewart. 113 00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:10,530 You watch it, you just watch. Yeah. 114 00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:13,560 Well, so yeah, that was front page of the Financial Times, 115 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:16,560 obviously for this weekend. So everyone's all over that. You're 116 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,100 right. It's you should pick up a copy of Barron's this weekend. 117 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:22,500 I'm sure it's filled with all kinds of fun facts. That's kind 118 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,950 of the National Enquirer of the financial industry. Barron's 119 00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:29,190 Magazine comes out on the weekend. Fun Facts. 120 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,059 Fun Facts You got burned Fun Fact Friday, a lot of endowment 121 00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:36,569 and a lot of hedge funds and there I mean, there's just 122 00:06:36,569 --> 00:06:40,319 apparently just an endless number of rich people in Palm 123 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:41,219 Beach, Florida. 124 00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:48,300 Here's one for you, John. And we just got back from the terrace 125 00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:53,340 house. The new the new place. And we we had spent some time 126 00:06:53,340 --> 00:06:56,010 with the with our new handyman. It's good. If you can get one of 127 00:06:56,010 --> 00:06:57,120 those. This guy well, yeah, 128 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000 no, I've had a handyman. Yeah. And you had actually have a name 129 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,250 for this place. The terraced house curry 130 00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:06,480 terrace is what it is. Okay, it's a terrace house. Are you 131 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,650 familiar with the concept? 132 00:07:07,889 --> 00:07:10,799 No. I mean, I've heard of it. I never thought much about it. 133 00:07:11,219 --> 00:07:12,719 Tell us what a terrace house well, it's 134 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,220 your very typical English house, which stands in a row with other 135 00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:20,850 terrace houses and you step up like five or six steps to go 136 00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:24,240 into the front door that you can also go down to the left and 137 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,100 around in the front that you can go into the basement level. And 138 00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,120 it's Victorian is what it 139 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,840 is. Are they are the houses stuck next to each other? Yes, 140 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,530 yes, no, it's one long row really big. So that maybe like 141 00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:40,590 six in a row or something like that. And it's called, it's 142 00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:43,680 called a terrace house. And we have the coveted end of terrace 143 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,260 house, which means you're on one end of it. So you only have 144 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:50,670 neighbours on one side. And which means you have a view out 145 00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:52,770 of the front and out of the back or certainly out of the back. 146 00:07:53,070 --> 00:07:56,640 Anyway, so the handyman he's been with this house for many, 147 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,550 many years, which is good. You know, because it's his house. 148 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,330 Exactly. And he and he did the most recent remodelling, with 149 00:08:03,330 --> 00:08:05,550 all the new plumbing and everything. So now, he knows how 150 00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:08,100 everything works. He's got you know, all the bugs. He knows 151 00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,280 where it is. So that's great. And he says something to me 152 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,440 that, that I was like, really. And here it is on page two, the 153 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,070 inside way at the bottom and find small tiny print of the 154 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:23,850 Financial Times. The United Kingdom has experienced its 155 00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:27,900 coldest start to winter in more than 30 years. Experts said 156 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:33,450 yesterday. There you go my friend, global warming at its 157 00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:34,260 finest. 158 00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,960 Actually, I'm supposed to be in Washington today. But I'm not 159 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,790 because the the coldest front ever to hit the state that I 160 00:08:41,790 --> 00:08:46,020 know, are predicted to be the coldest days ever in Washington 161 00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:47,670 State or today. And there's 162 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:50,610 an ice storm on the East Coast. That's global warming for you. 163 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,870 We're all going to die. 164 00:08:51,929 --> 00:08:54,989 And it's snowing in Houston. It was snowing in New Orleans. 165 00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:57,990 So of course, that's where they spun it into into climate 166 00:08:57,990 --> 00:09:01,710 change. But you know that but you know, it's very important 167 00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:05,670 and very relevant to this very moment, Thursday and Friday, in 168 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:09,210 Europe. The the ministers all got together and they had their 169 00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:14,070 big powwow. And, you know, they've essentially built up the 170 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:17,850 the next phase of regulation that will have around finance 171 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:24,000 and environment. They are now linked with these carbon 172 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,470 credits. Yep. I told you it was common. So I know you and this 173 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:31,350 carbon credits. Everything is gonna be linked to carbon 174 00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:31,890 credit. I'm 175 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:37,290 told Yeah, because carbon credits are a guilt free version 176 00:09:37,290 --> 00:09:41,730 of tax. Yeah, exactly. And you're paying taxes and you're 177 00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:43,230 supposed to feel good about it. 178 00:09:43,410 --> 00:09:47,790 Well know what the analogy is paying paying a thin person 179 00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:52,170 monies so you don't have to go on a diet. It's stupid. Because 180 00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:54,990 there's all that anyone ever talks about is is you know the 181 00:09:54,990 --> 00:09:57,540 credits you buy the credits you buy the credits, but it doesn't 182 00:09:57,540 --> 00:10:01,140 actually reduce anything because somewhere some One has to 183 00:10:01,230 --> 00:10:06,330 produce less carbon emissions to fulfil the credit that you've 184 00:10:06,330 --> 00:10:08,430 purchased. Everyone's just buying the credits. That's what 185 00:10:08,430 --> 00:10:11,520 it's all about. And they've got it all tricked out, man. Yeah, 186 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,360 Eastern. Yeah, couldn't we're not doing this. How can we don't 187 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,700 have some sort of a deal with the 188 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,600 US? No, no, you and me a carbon deal? 189 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,910 Why aren't we selling credits? I 190 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:26,820 mean, I'm telling you, this is total, we should totally be 191 00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:30,270 doing this. Because these credit these carbon credit exchanges 192 00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:34,410 are popping up everywhere like the It reminds me a lot in the 193 00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:39,030 mid 90s of we at the time we had Mae east and Mae West. Remember, 194 00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:41,610 everyone was I built a knock, I built a knock in Amsterdam, for 195 00:10:41,610 --> 00:10:44,580 Christ's sake, it was the thing to do to have an exchange of 196 00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:47,220 bandwidth. This is the next, the next thing, you got to have an 197 00:10:47,220 --> 00:10:50,340 exchange of carbon credits. We can run it on an Excel 198 00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:56,760 spreadsheet, Google, Google Spreadsheet, something like 199 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,120 that. 200 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,110 And what kills me is I was on a website the other day says would 201 00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:05,580 you like to, to buy carbon credits to visit this site or 202 00:11:05,580 --> 00:11:06,000 something? 203 00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:11,070 So So while this is taking place, this sort of just took 204 00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:14,940 place this two day meeting, where they decide, okay, they're 205 00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:18,540 gonna put 200 billion euros into the European economy, even 206 00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:21,120 though that's only half of what Germany has to put in and is 207 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,110 failing with in its own country by itself. But then they have 208 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:27,900 all these carbon credits, which is essentially about a 30 209 00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,680 billion euro tax, which is going to be levied on on corporations 210 00:11:31,710 --> 00:11:40,380 new tax. And there are over 600 scientists who are preparing now 211 00:11:40,380 --> 00:11:47,700 to sue Al Gore over and the IPCC over their bogus climate check 212 00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:51,840 global warming report, which of course, almost gets zero press 213 00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:55,800 anywhere, but 600 PhDs, dude, I mean, this is this is serious 214 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,400 business. 215 00:11:56,670 --> 00:11:59,970 Well, you know, you know what the reason is, is because I 216 00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:04,530 think they have been making this claim. And you and I run into it 217 00:12:04,530 --> 00:12:06,480 all the time. And people are everything when we talked about 218 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,960 on the show somebody right away, you don't know the IPCC said 219 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,870 this and that, and why are you even making these assertions? 220 00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:17,160 Yeah, and I think a lot of people a lot of signs. 221 00:12:17,850 --> 00:12:20,370 Are you telling me that people in our artists actually use the 222 00:12:20,370 --> 00:12:21,360 word assertions? 223 00:12:22,290 --> 00:12:24,180 Well, that those particular people 224 00:12:26,309 --> 00:12:27,209 just want to make sure. 225 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,500 I very rarely use the word. 226 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,749 I like it, though. We should use that more often, 227 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:38,970 as we should. Anyway, so. So I think there's a lot of people 228 00:12:38,970 --> 00:12:41,310 out there who are, you know, probably, you know, the the 229 00:12:41,310 --> 00:12:43,680 climatologist, or they're experts in some way, shape or 230 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:48,630 form about, and they have been put into the same sack because 231 00:12:48,630 --> 00:12:54,960 of this notion that everybody agrees. Everybody agrees, 232 00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:58,470 they discussion is over, we have consensus. 233 00:12:58,650 --> 00:13:02,670 Everybody's more than consensus, everybody, everybody, nobody 234 00:13:02,670 --> 00:13:06,600 disagrees with this not one single person. So you're a PhD, 235 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,000 who maybe has some thoughts on it, and you have some other 236 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,580 kinds of data. And your friends come up to you at the cocktail 237 00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:14,970 party. And they go on about putting you pigeon holing you 238 00:13:14,970 --> 00:13:15,360 with this, 239 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,230 but it's even worse. It's even worse. If you do that as a PhD 240 00:13:19,230 --> 00:13:22,500 or researcher, your research funding gets pulled. That's why 241 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,810 people are so quiet about it, because you know, they're afraid 242 00:13:24,810 --> 00:13:26,340 that their money is going to go away. 243 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,600 When the lawsuits diverge, I think the more people should 244 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120 join the lawsuit, there's I'm sure there's more than 600 245 00:13:33,450 --> 00:13:35,400 debtor irked about this. 246 00:13:35,970 --> 00:13:38,910 In fact, there's about 30,000, I believe, but that's not all 247 00:13:38,910 --> 00:13:42,060 PhDs. These are just the PhDs, the business and Media 248 00:13:42,090 --> 00:13:44,820 Institute, I have no idea who they are. But this is a story I 249 00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:45,660 just got, oh, we'll 250 00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:47,670 get to know who they are. They're a bunch of right wing 251 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:50,550 nuts that don't believe in any of this stuff. Okay. Is that 252 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:53,190 true? I don't know. No, I'm just gonna tell you, that's what they 253 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,530 that's what they 254 00:13:55,530 --> 00:13:58,740 have. Well, they have data, they have data, so I'm just gonna 255 00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:00,780 presume the data is right for the sake of argument, the 256 00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:05,340 business and Media Institute analysed 205 network news 257 00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:10,230 stories about global warming or climate change. Between July 258 00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:16,260 1 2007 and December 31 2007. They found that only 20% of the 259 00:14:16,260 --> 00:14:19,470 stories even mentioned there were any alternative opinions to 260 00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:23,400 the so called consensus on the issues. And this just goes on 261 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,780 and on and on. About how you know, it's pretty much the media 262 00:14:27,780 --> 00:14:31,800 just jumped on and said, Okay, we're all gonna die. Hey, roll 263 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,900 some of those polar bear footage. Come on. Let's head 264 00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:34,920 out. That's good shit. 265 00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:39,240 If it bleeds, it leads. Exactly. So CBS was 266 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:49,260 the worst. Has 151 People used by the network to promote global 267 00:14:49,260 --> 00:14:58,380 warming hysteria. And since 28 people who even questioned it 268 00:14:58,380 --> 00:14:58,980 somewhat 269 00:14:59,549 --> 00:15:00,659 as So watch 270 00:15:01,949 --> 00:15:03,569 that. It's not a 271 00:15:03,689 --> 00:15:09,299 question that someone will you know, it's bullshit. Yeah. 272 00:15:09,359 --> 00:15:14,159 And it's amazing what's taking place. Our financial system is 273 00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:20,249 going to be based on this lie. And granted, I'm all for saving 274 00:15:20,249 --> 00:15:23,429 the Earth. I'm all for less pollution, no doubt about it. 275 00:15:23,669 --> 00:15:24,149 But you know, 276 00:15:24,450 --> 00:15:27,060 about China, they're polluting California from a distance. 277 00:15:27,090 --> 00:15:27,810 Yeah. 278 00:15:28,229 --> 00:15:31,109 Yeah, there's plenty we can do and should be doing but this 279 00:15:31,109 --> 00:15:35,069 whole idea of buying credits so that you can continue to pollute 280 00:15:35,309 --> 00:15:37,859 that somewhere. Someone down the line, like my children's 281 00:15:37,859 --> 00:15:41,279 children's children will then apparently have to produce less. 282 00:15:41,429 --> 00:15:44,969 They're talking about Atlanta tree. The talk talking about a 283 00:15:44,969 --> 00:15:51,899 20% reduction promised by all of all of the EU in carbon 284 00:15:51,899 --> 00:15:54,599 emissions 20% 285 00:15:55,260 --> 00:15:58,380 That's good ol screw. As long as we don't get too involved in 286 00:15:58,380 --> 00:15:59,850 unfortunately, we got a president now it's probably 287 00:15:59,850 --> 00:16:00,510 going to jump on 288 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,930 Italy. No, totally. You're totally you're already involved, 289 00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:04,440 then. 290 00:16:05,490 --> 00:16:08,370 Well, you know, wasn't gonna do any good to get McCain. McCain 291 00:16:08,370 --> 00:16:10,560 was just on Letterman last night or the night 292 00:16:10,589 --> 00:16:12,209 Oh, really? Oh, shit. I didn't know that. 293 00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:16,530 It was it was he was just on the same bandwagon. It would have 294 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:17,310 been the same thing with 295 00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:20,519 him. Well, because they're run by the same people. John, how 296 00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,909 often do I have to tell you that? Here we go. Okay, okay. 297 00:16:23,909 --> 00:16:28,619 Well, actually, this is funny. I think you blog this. You blog, 298 00:16:28,619 --> 00:16:33,119 the Gideon Rachman story in the Financial Times. He's a 299 00:16:33,119 --> 00:16:36,809 columnist and he said he was talking about the possibility 300 00:16:36,809 --> 00:16:39,209 of, you know, tongue in cheek article about the New World 301 00:16:39,209 --> 00:16:44,009 Order, etc. All right, that guy? Yeah, that guy? There's a follow 302 00:16:44,009 --> 00:16:45,179 up to that. I was wondering like your 303 00:16:45,180 --> 00:16:46,620 power. Don't you know him? 304 00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:50,490 No, no, no, no. You've got to read his follow up that he 305 00:16:50,490 --> 00:16:54,540 posted on his blog. I'll just I'll just read you the 306 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,320 conclusion. Because what happened is he says I couldn't 307 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,640 believe the amount of email that he got. From you know, from from 308 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,980 out there. He says, you know, hundreds of pieces of email. 309 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,670 Here's his conclusions. There's an undeniable amount of anger 310 00:17:08,670 --> 00:17:11,010 and hatred out there directed everything from the United 311 00:17:11,010 --> 00:17:14,580 Nation to Knight United Nations to big business to Barack Obama. 312 00:17:14,910 --> 00:17:18,000 These people can't read can read, but they cannot think he 313 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,410 says so. He's not my buddy dude gets worse. The End of Days 314 00:17:22,410 --> 00:17:25,440 crowd is very strong. I would say that about a third of the 315 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,130 emails I got referred me to the book of Revelation, in which 316 00:17:29,130 --> 00:17:34,530 apparently all it is all foretold. Three, there's a lot 317 00:17:34,530 --> 00:17:37,380 of people who believe not only that global warming is a hoax, 318 00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:40,740 but that it is actually a conspiracy. The fact that the 319 00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:43,770 most influential reports on climate change had been produced 320 00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:47,970 by an intergovernmental panel, the IPCC, sponsored by the UN 321 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:52,080 fuels this theory. The idea is that the UN is perpetuating a 322 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,200 climate change hoax to provide an excuse to impose a world 323 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,740 government on America. I am a part of it. Apparently, he says, 324 00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:05,370 totally. Totally. Anyway, so he winds up he does have a funny 325 00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:07,650 line at the end here. Something positive has come out of this 326 00:18:07,650 --> 00:18:10,200 experience. If the newspaper industry really goes down the 327 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,800 pan, I now have a business plan. I will claim to be a former 328 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,380 member of the Bilderberg Illuminati Council on Foreign 329 00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:19,350 Relations, un Zionist establishment and write a book 330 00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:22,530 revealing the inside story of a plot to form a world government. 331 00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:28,830 It will sell millions. Funny. So sad though that's actually true. 332 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:32,609 Both for this you'll Matador trick. The old Matador trick. 333 00:18:32,849 --> 00:18:36,209 Yeah, yeah, you go in one direction. And then you've just 334 00:18:36,239 --> 00:18:36,779 Oh, like, 335 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:43,440 oh, like you did with Mac a couple years ago. Did you do 336 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,360 something with Mac? Yeah, I remember you did something like 337 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:46,440 that Matador trick, 338 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:51,480 Matador trick, so Okay, so he's not your friend. I can see Oh, 339 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:51,570 of 340 00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:53,730 course not. He's a stooge for 341 00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:54,750 the whatever 342 00:18:54,780 --> 00:18:58,920 the New World Order. Which by the way is if you look at Time 343 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,940 Magazine in there, it says Obama's new world order. 344 00:19:05,070 --> 00:19:09,780 No, I haven't seen that. That's phenomenal, dude. Well, you 345 00:19:09,780 --> 00:19:12,540 know, the problem is there's too many people in the United States 346 00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:15,750 that cling to their religion and guns to the point that they're 347 00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:19,410 not going to put up with this so good for them. Yes, keep keep 348 00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:23,910 clinging. I got nothing against at least uh, you know, still 349 00:19:24,810 --> 00:19:29,940 shoot the New World Order. first and ask questions later. I hope 350 00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:35,340 so. Hey, by the way, so we have a guy who gave us a his his use 351 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:36,120 of his 352 00:19:37,530 --> 00:19:40,740 girlfriend's likes, oh, sling. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I've been 353 00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:41,640 checking it out of you. 354 00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:46,020 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And there's the Canadian channels are on 355 00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:48,540 there. And then, you know, there's local news in Detroit. 356 00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:51,060 And it's actually kind of interesting because it's like a 357 00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:54,870 holding, you know, and then, you know, I was thinking about that 358 00:19:54,870 --> 00:19:58,350 gonna probably write a column on this from MarketWatch. You know, 359 00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:00,990 the EchoStar bought the Slingbox. 360 00:20:02,250 --> 00:20:03,420 Oh, in addition, yeah, I 361 00:20:03,420 --> 00:20:05,220 didn't know that. Yeah, that we're going to integrate it, 362 00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:05,670 weren't they? 363 00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:07,590 Well, I don't know if they're going to integrate it or not. 364 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:10,410 But it gets them around a certain problem that I was 365 00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:12,300 saying, why would they buy this? And what's it got to do with 366 00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:15,150 anything? Right? And then I realised that one of the things 367 00:20:15,150 --> 00:20:21,150 that I believe that irks both DirecTV and the Dish Network, 368 00:20:21,150 --> 00:20:26,490 folks, is the fact that if I'm here in the San Francisco Bay 369 00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:28,860 area, I use the Dish Network, by the way, I'm very happy with it. 370 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,560 But one of the things I can't do is I can't sit here in the San 371 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:40,650 Francisco Bay Area and watch the local news in Seattle, right? 372 00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:44,760 Have a house right? Right in the area, right? Because of some 373 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:46,710 guesses, some copyright, 374 00:20:46,890 --> 00:20:51,570 copyright region laws, all kinds of syndications. Right. It's 375 00:20:51,570 --> 00:20:53,640 impossible to figure it out. Right, it's 376 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,340 impossible to figure it out. In fact, there's even something 377 00:20:56,340 --> 00:20:58,800 called most favoured Nations was you got nothing to do with 378 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,230 broadcasting but it's in there from means that you can't do 379 00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:01,890 this and that 380 00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,629 it really has to do with you know, when television series are 381 00:21:06,629 --> 00:21:10,229 released, in which countries I mean, it's a it's a marketing 382 00:21:10,259 --> 00:21:12,599 Yeah, it totally it's a marketing problem. Yeah. 383 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,320 So I can't get this thing and I'm sure that I'm not one of the 384 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,260 only people that say why can't I get my sciatic? Yeah, you would 385 00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:21,840 you like local channels on your dish network, because you can 386 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,130 get local channels. And I just go over the air, so I don't even 387 00:21:26,130 --> 00:21:28,440 bother with it. But if I wasn't gonna get local channels, I'd 388 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,360 say yeah, I like the local channels. I like to get the 389 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:34,380 Seattle channels. Yeah. Oh, no, no, can't do that. Because we 390 00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:38,250 can't it's against the law. Now with this, so they buy sling 391 00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:40,920 box, and I'm sure they're not happy about they'd love to sell 392 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,890 me, wouldn't you? I mean, if you're running a business, and 393 00:21:43,890 --> 00:21:48,030 you got some sucker me that says, hey, I want to get local 394 00:21:48,030 --> 00:21:49,410 channels in New York los 395 00:21:50,430 --> 00:21:53,250 Morley sell them a sling box in a sling catcher, right. 396 00:21:54,330 --> 00:21:56,430 I mean, I would like to get these local channels on the Dish 397 00:21:56,430 --> 00:21:59,370 Network over the satellite when I know they have them, but they 398 00:21:59,370 --> 00:22:04,050 can't sell them to me. So there's money they're losing. So 399 00:22:04,050 --> 00:22:06,300 now you got this. Well, here's your solution. You get a sling 400 00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:08,790 box and you put it up if you got two houses, you put one in the 401 00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:10,980 other house and you can watch your local channels that way. 402 00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:16,110 And you can and it works really well. So we're watching Detroit. 403 00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:19,260 Yeah. And I've been of course I've been watching more than 404 00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:23,130 just by the way astonishing and what works astonishingly well. 405 00:22:23,970 --> 00:22:28,140 The VPN only requires 384 Yeah, and 406 00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:30,900 you know, it takes a second or two for for to optimise the 407 00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,900 stream so actually switching through the channels is just 408 00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:37,560 like IPTV it's a it's a huge problem because it takes a 409 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:37,980 while. 410 00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:42,210 It doesn't take that long maybe for you. Yeah, but anyway, yeah, 411 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,770 well, dude, I've got 26 megabits of bandwidth coming at the new 412 00:22:46,770 --> 00:22:52,470 place who I'm like I'm bro I want everything I got Virgin 413 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:56,910 Media I got what are you gonna pay for that? The total bit so I 414 00:22:56,910 --> 00:23:02,880 got the BT full on XL package with I'd said give me everything 415 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,560 Give me your obviously phone service but give me your your 416 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:11,280 your they have a BT Vision? Which is their their ICT, which 417 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,840 really truly is IPTV? Yeah, I got that shit 418 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,450 doesn't work, but go ahead. Yeah. 419 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,590 It's not it works in the UK, but it's on BTS network. It's not 420 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:26,820 running across the internet. 421 00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,720 Yeah, well, IPTV doesn't require it running across the internet 422 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:30,870 if 423 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,370 you want to see protocol TV. Yeah, but if you want to see 424 00:23:35,610 --> 00:23:37,770 alright, I don't want to get into this discussion again. 425 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:45,300 Okay. Yeah, I have IPTV now coming. And that is it's not 426 00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:49,710 that bad. I think we're the full on package is like 28 pounds a 427 00:23:49,710 --> 00:23:54,090 month. What? Yeah, it's not too bad, then no, that's megabits. 428 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:57,720 No, no, that's, that's six megabits. Then on top of that, I 429 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,650 got Virgin Media who have fibre optic cable running right up to 430 00:24:01,650 --> 00:24:04,650 the house. Of course you don't you don't actually get fibre in 431 00:24:04,650 --> 00:24:09,000 your hand, but then they convert okay. Yeah, exactly. So that's 432 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:09,990 20 megabits. 433 00:24:11,610 --> 00:24:12,570 How much does that cost? 434 00:24:13,890 --> 00:24:17,550 That is also I didn't get the phone service. And of course, 435 00:24:17,550 --> 00:24:20,250 that's cable TV at the same time. So this package is in 436 00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:24,450 there with movies and all that shit. That's probably about 48 a 437 00:24:24,450 --> 00:24:26,850 month but that's that's that's going to be the main television 438 00:24:26,850 --> 00:24:30,840 package that has a whole bunch of steel Of course, it's fine. 439 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,990 Well, that's the way it should be. And we're, you know, we're 440 00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:37,740 in a metropolis now. So you shouldn't be paying crazy 441 00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:39,270 amounts for for bandwidth 442 00:24:40,590 --> 00:24:42,210 and shifts how the connection is 443 00:24:42,330 --> 00:24:47,640 and exactly and in both cases, I said and they say you have 444 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,660 unlimited download, I said, Okay, unlimited means like shit 445 00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:55,890 as much as I can eat right? No Asterix no unlimited. Okay. said 446 00:24:55,890 --> 00:25:00,270 how about upload? You have unlimited I said unless mitad 447 00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:04,290 upload said and I said I'm recording this because you're 448 00:25:04,290 --> 00:25:07,890 recording the conversation as well. Which they tell you up 449 00:25:07,890 --> 00:25:10,800 front. I said, I'm just going to ask you one more time I have 450 00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:16,080 unlimited upload and download capacity is anything anything 451 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,880 you want to do, sir? Unlimited. Okay. And, and I'm sure I'm 452 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,090 gonna have to use that recording sometime in the next six months 453 00:25:24,570 --> 00:25:25,560 on your cut off. 454 00:25:27,210 --> 00:25:28,770 We'll see. We'll see. 455 00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:32,760 Well, good. That's that good. I liked it. I think everyone out 456 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,540 there should document the BS because you know, they when it 457 00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:38,700 comes down to it is is that in writing? You haven't got a 458 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:40,950 recording? You that You announced that you were 459 00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:42,660 recording it, which was nothing illegal? 460 00:25:42,690 --> 00:25:46,380 No. Well, they announced that recording me. Yeah. And so you 461 00:25:46,380 --> 00:25:46,890 can record 462 00:25:46,890 --> 00:25:49,620 them and show the whole thing now you can give that to a 463 00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:50,670 magistrate? 464 00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:54,360 Yes. And my solicitor, my solicitor will go to the 465 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:55,290 magistrate. 466 00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:59,700 And bingo Yeah. Pro you won't get your connection back. 467 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,530 I'll never get a connection to the other day. Now. Of course, 468 00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:07,080 this isn't you know, I'm so not used to it. This was, you know, 469 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,940 southwest London. This is a nice neighbourhood. And so you've got 470 00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:14,880 parking for residents with parking permit only and then of 471 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,400 which I haven't gotten yet because you have to like show a 472 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,040 bill or something or whatever. It's just pain in the ass. 473 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,970 haven't done it yet. And so I park off to the side, and this 474 00:26:23,970 --> 00:26:26,550 maximum of four hour parking, whatever. So I throw whatever 475 00:26:26,550 --> 00:26:29,400 money in there. And I come back and it's like 20 minutes 476 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:35,670 overdue. They have a hand gripper almost on my car, John. 477 00:26:36,150 --> 00:26:40,290 You know, like they park a truck next to it and Boston boot? Is 478 00:26:40,290 --> 00:26:44,460 that what it's called? But just call a tow truck? No, no, it's 479 00:26:44,460 --> 00:26:47,460 like one of those machines you see at the carnival where you 480 00:26:47,460 --> 00:26:50,280 put the money and you stared and then it grabs something and then 481 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,710 shakes it and then you never you never get the prize. 482 00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:56,820 What's it what's the purpose? So they actually 483 00:26:56,850 --> 00:27:00,810 in they don't they pick your car up out of its spot in the air 484 00:27:00,810 --> 00:27:02,100 and then put it on the truck? 485 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,680 Oh, you're gonna get towed away, 486 00:27:04,770 --> 00:27:07,980 not towed away. This is what I'm trying to say. It's a big arm. 487 00:27:08,490 --> 00:27:13,200 And it comes down on top of the car and, and picks it up. puts 488 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,640 it on the truck. I'm sure there's a name for it. Yeah, 489 00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:21,990 it's outrageous. After the after 20 minutes, they were already 490 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:23,730 there with the with the with the hook. 491 00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:26,910 Jig and you must have cameras or they have cameras everywhere. He 492 00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:27,630 went. They have 493 00:27:27,630 --> 00:27:33,630 3737 cameras. I looked it up on the website 37 cameras dedicated 494 00:27:33,630 --> 00:27:38,460 specifically to your hard law, parking control. Yeah, my block, 495 00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,500 all pointed at my window. 496 00:27:41,610 --> 00:27:45,240 Now there turns out that these cameras are pointed at the 497 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:45,960 metres 498 00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:54,030 I'll make it even better. We have a metre on John Street. So 499 00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:57,540 we have we had the delivery come from Holland early on Tuesday. 500 00:27:58,110 --> 00:28:02,430 Patricia had bought some stuff there. And she had one of our 501 00:28:02,460 --> 00:28:04,950 moving companies we work with before he's gonna just when you 502 00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:08,970 guys come on over next trip, bring that shit for us. Okay. So 503 00:28:09,030 --> 00:28:12,570 we know they, they roll up, they double park to open up the 504 00:28:12,570 --> 00:28:16,020 truck, you know the gun and it's a square, all right? It's not a 505 00:28:16,020 --> 00:28:19,320 thruway, it's, you can you can drive past on either side. It's 506 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,400 a square. And so there loads of stuff out and the traffic warden 507 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,430 comes over. And you know, and what they always do, they take a 508 00:28:26,430 --> 00:28:29,850 picture, right for proof digital picture. So they have your 509 00:28:29,850 --> 00:28:33,450 licence plate and the situation at hand. And they write out a 510 00:28:33,450 --> 00:28:37,380 ticket for him. And Patricia goes out and Patricia is great 511 00:28:37,380 --> 00:28:39,210 at this and she's immediately she's like, I'm gonna make 512 00:28:39,210 --> 00:28:45,060 friends with this guy. And, and she's talking and she says, So, 513 00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:48,240 you know, they're just stopping unload some stuff. Yeah, he 514 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,120 says, but you're not allowed to do that. So what is the 515 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880 procedure? Because we have other trucks coming you know, we're 516 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,080 moving what is the procedure? He said? I don't know. He literally 517 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,500 could not tell you what to do. Is I just not allowed to stand 518 00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:03,930 there with your truck. I have no idea how you can get a permit to 519 00:29:03,930 --> 00:29:04,560 stand there. 520 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,170 How do you move from house to house? 521 00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:15,450 Thank you.

And as always, when 559 00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:34,290 you're in San Francisco together, how can we don't do 560 00:31:34,290 --> 00:31:39,840 the show together? Well, because it would suck. It has to be I 561 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,400 can't look at you when we're doing this. 562 00:31:42,210 --> 00:31:46,950 No, because I'm always mugging or rolling my eyes doesn't work. 563 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,480 So oh, here we go. I get more eyeball exercise my action my 564 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,660 gut. My prescription is getting closer and closer to 2020. 565 00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:58,680 Because of the eye ball roll. I get to talking to Adam curry. 566 00:31:59,430 --> 00:32:05,730 Hey, M E. Amy, a London based startup with an API, which has 567 00:32:05,730 --> 00:32:09,000 the grand aim of measuring the world's energy consumption and 568 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,650 therefore carbon footprint has secured an undisclosed series a 569 00:32:13,650 --> 00:32:16,890 financing from O'Reilly alphatech Ventures Union Square 570 00:32:16,890 --> 00:32:20,340 Ventures and UK based Angel the accelerator group, there's your 571 00:32:20,370 --> 00:32:22,290 carbon trading company. 572 00:32:23,850 --> 00:32:26,130 Why can't structure one of these deals because there's 573 00:32:26,130 --> 00:32:31,890 actual work and we're lazy bastards. That's, that would be 574 00:32:31,890 --> 00:32:36,390 the basic problem we have. You don't actually want to do any of 575 00:32:36,390 --> 00:32:39,900 the work. Like our T shirts. Let's mention the T shirts early 576 00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:40,350 today. 577 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,060 No agenda.ng t shirts.com. Please buy a t shirt to support 578 00:32:45,060 --> 00:32:49,290 this show. Well, I get to do these for one shot and we're 579 00:32:49,290 --> 00:32:52,080 gonna go to a different design. So you get to get them where you 580 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,440 can. You know, the guy's moaning we're just not we're not selling 581 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,190 enough T shirts 582 00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:59,730 did he sell and he's it did anything. You hardly had 583 00:32:59,730 --> 00:33:04,560 enough to pay for the cost of admission? Yeah, it's no agenda 584 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,380 dot angry shirts.com. And here's one of the problems. So I got 585 00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:09,900 two notes from people saying well, I know they cost too much 586 00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,960 to ship them to Europe. And yeah, it costs too much to ship 587 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:13,050 them. 588 00:33:13,050 --> 00:33:16,320 Do you love this show or not? I mean, what is that about? Well, 589 00:33:17,190 --> 00:33:19,980 they don't think it's worth paying $25 Total to get a t 590 00:33:19,980 --> 00:33:22,830 shirt. Apparently they what we need is like we need a vendor in 591 00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:25,440 Europe that can you know ship. Yeah, robbery in England, at 592 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,990 least or something? Right on right, there must be somebody 593 00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:28,290 there. 594 00:33:28,529 --> 00:33:32,099 And I still think that we can do even better designs. I like what 595 00:33:32,099 --> 00:33:39,449 the angry shirts guy did, but you know, the really well in 596 00:33:39,449 --> 00:33:40,319 that case to 597 00:33:42,450 --> 00:33:44,820 get some out there so we can see what the mechanisms going to 598 00:33:44,820 --> 00:33:46,800 look like. So we'll do some fancy shirts. 599 00:33:46,830 --> 00:33:53,220 Hey, Zazzle I've been asked to do something with Zazzle Yeah. 600 00:33:53,730 --> 00:33:55,170 How's their stuff? Is that any good? 601 00:33:55,530 --> 00:34:01,320 It's very it's just the same as as it's similar to Cafe press 602 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,430 was it's not really a silkscreen shirt. It's like a press on. 603 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,220 Okay. Yeah, I think we want to stick with silk screen because 604 00:34:08,220 --> 00:34:13,500 we're not gonna make that many of them. And you know, this guy 605 00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:18,330 still can't he does the whole thing. Last. I mean, we. So I 606 00:34:18,330 --> 00:34:20,550 was looking at this. I was right, Randy. I was digging 607 00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:24,630 around. I ran into this weird article about how girls are 608 00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:28,860 dominating the internet. With some interesting numbers, a Pew 609 00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:32,700 Research people did this and this came out in January. I 610 00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:38,010 think this 32% of the 12 to 17 girls started a website as 611 00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:44,370 opposed to 27% of adult of boys and 14% of adults. So I'm 612 00:34:44,370 --> 00:34:46,380 looking at all this data and I'm thinking at the same time 613 00:34:46,380 --> 00:34:50,100 there's a scandal a story that came out last week that saying 614 00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:55,020 these kids are taking nude pictures of each other and 615 00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:58,050 swapping them over the phones you know, because a phone you 616 00:34:58,050 --> 00:35:01,380 can send a photo from what your phone My phone or whatever 617 00:35:01,409 --> 00:35:05,039 it's called multi multimedia messaging. It's been around for 618 00:35:05,129 --> 00:35:05,939 10 years. 619 00:35:06,510 --> 00:35:08,970 Right. But it's never been convenient or cheap 620 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,280 in Europe has been used quite a lot. 621 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,090 So I never use it. 622 00:35:15,810 --> 00:35:16,860 I do it all the time. 623 00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:20,400 I mean, I do a lot of SMS. I mean, I do a lot of typing on a 624 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,940 little t 71, which is, I liked it. You know, I was looking at 625 00:35:23,940 --> 00:35:26,160 the specs on that phone, I didn't realise it had an FM 626 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,790 radio, 627 00:35:27,179 --> 00:35:30,269 you just stick your headphones in and it works. Unbelievable. 628 00:35:30,299 --> 00:35:32,519 Which is something by the way, radios, it's 629 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:39,510 got. It's got it's got GSM radios, it's got that, you know, 630 00:35:40,290 --> 00:35:42,870 Bluetooth, Wi Fi, Wi Fi, it's 631 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:47,820 got a receiver for this GPS satellite. What? 632 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:51,510 You know what, yeah, GPS, satellite receiver, you know, 633 00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:54,150 the thing that bothers me is that, and I've never Oh, I 634 00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:56,190 understand why, you know, they say you gotta plug your 635 00:35:56,190 --> 00:35:59,100 headphones in, because then the headphones become the antenna. 636 00:36:00,030 --> 00:36:02,370 But I've always that's always been a bummer to me because I 637 00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:05,040 like listening to the radio from time to time, but I want to use 638 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,850 my Bluetooth headset. I don't want to have to plug in wires. 639 00:36:08,850 --> 00:36:09,810 That's the whole point. 640 00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:13,950 That's the problem with FM. If it was an am tune, you could 641 00:36:13,950 --> 00:36:17,490 probably get away with it. Right? But who wants to have a 642 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,830 right has to have some length? Yeah, 643 00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:24,480 I heard you talking about it on twit. You are that show, by the 644 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,850 way, when you're on that show was really good. 645 00:36:27,419 --> 00:36:30,899 Well, it's actually when I'm on when I'm at Leo studio. That was 646 00:36:30,959 --> 00:36:33,239 yeah, that really made a big difference. And I'll tell you 647 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:38,759 why. It's because, you know, unlike you and me. Leo and I 648 00:36:38,789 --> 00:36:42,689 have worked together and radio for so long that we you know, we 649 00:36:42,839 --> 00:36:45,689 actually can cue off each other and make a radio show, you know, 650 00:36:45,689 --> 00:36:50,459 kind of good old fashioned way. And so the timing is changes a 651 00:36:50,459 --> 00:36:54,749 lot. And and there's other people involved so the timing is 652 00:36:54,749 --> 00:36:57,629 important any lelio even notice that he says you know, it's just 653 00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:01,799 because you're doing stuff over Skype has its moments but you 654 00:37:01,799 --> 00:37:03,989 know, if you're writing in studio with especially with 655 00:37:03,989 --> 00:37:08,369 somebody you have worked a lot with on the air. It makes a 656 00:37:08,369 --> 00:37:09,029 difference. Yeah, 657 00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:11,970 the timing. It's very difficult because we're always struggling 658 00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:14,790 with the timing and the delay that you the automatic we have 659 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:16,830 on Skype. Yes, inherent. 660 00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:19,920 Now, I was using those countrymen headphones. And you 661 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,170 told me that said they sounded like crap or something? 662 00:37:23,010 --> 00:37:26,250 No, because I heard it and I didn't even know you were in the 663 00:37:26,250 --> 00:37:29,790 studio because I only I didn't watch the live feed. And I 664 00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:31,860 immediately I heard the difference. I knew you were 665 00:37:31,860 --> 00:37:33,690 using something different than of course, I heard that you were 666 00:37:33,690 --> 00:37:36,900 in the studio. And then you send me a text message. So I figure 667 00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:41,880 you using the country man. And it sounds good. But the esses 668 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,140 are a little bit slippy a little slushy. Yeah, go listen to it 669 00:37:46,140 --> 00:37:48,660 again. Maybe it's just because of the mp3 transcode. But of 670 00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:52,200 course, you know, that's the same result. It sounded a little 671 00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:54,960 slushy. Just just the SS. But 672 00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:57,960 check it out. Do it now he bought an AMI we're doing now 673 00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:59,460 for anyone out there listening. We're 674 00:37:59,460 --> 00:38:01,380 we've only done this a million times. 675 00:38:01,739 --> 00:38:05,399 We talk about these mics because we're both looking for mics. But 676 00:38:05,429 --> 00:38:10,949 the country man, which is us and churches. That was the he bought 677 00:38:10,949 --> 00:38:13,079 the omni directional and everybody who sent me a note 678 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,269 says just buy the unit directional. Maybe that'll make 679 00:38:15,269 --> 00:38:17,909 you there's been I here's what my problem is. I've used these 680 00:38:17,909 --> 00:38:20,219 before and I realise they go around the ear. 681 00:38:20,369 --> 00:38:23,459 That's my question. Is there an earpiece on that as well? No. 682 00:38:23,489 --> 00:38:23,999 Okay, good. 683 00:38:24,030 --> 00:38:26,190 It goes around the outside of the ear, like like a pair of 684 00:38:26,190 --> 00:38:28,980 glasses and then it hangs there and you bend it around until 685 00:38:28,980 --> 00:38:31,980 it's just you know, 50 words in front of your mouth and not 686 00:38:31,980 --> 00:38:36,540 quite. The thing is always flopping around. I can't get it 687 00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:39,600 to be tight. I'm wondering whether it's even usable for me 688 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,670 because it just doesn't fit around my ear. Right? I find 689 00:38:41,670 --> 00:38:44,220 that thing to you and then if you move your head a little bit, 690 00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:47,100 the thing goes out of whack and it's laying against your skin. 691 00:38:47,130 --> 00:38:51,780 Do you use headphones? You don't use headphones do you know okay, 692 00:38:51,810 --> 00:38:54,750 because the headphones of course will squeeze it on. Or we could 693 00:38:54,750 --> 00:39:00,360 use gaffer tape on your head. Just like a big slab of grey 694 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,510 gaffer tape right there. Just sticking it in place. Usually 695 00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:04,050 black, 696 00:39:04,290 --> 00:39:09,060 so I have enjoyed the whole that's called duct tape, I think 697 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,450 Oh, you're right. Okay. Okay. Yes, that's called duct tape. 698 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,040 Gaffer tape is black Euro. 699 00:39:16,139 --> 00:39:19,979 gaffers gaff and I hate to keep correcting it just makes 700 00:39:19,980 --> 00:39:21,960 me feel bad just think like that. Yeah, 701 00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:25,950 so by the way, they have clear duct tape now. 702 00:39:26,489 --> 00:39:27,449 Oh, but no grey. 703 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:30,540 No, they have the greatest silver duct tape. That's the 704 00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:31,170 classic 705 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,490 that's what I'm saying. And you call them 706 00:39:33,659 --> 00:39:35,999 I call that guy I'm just saying they have clear that just it's 707 00:39:35,999 --> 00:39:38,819 weird but there's a clear duct tape out there. Maybe 708 00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:41,130 we can put some of the clear across your lips across the 709 00:39:41,130 --> 00:39:42,450 front that would be good. 710 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:48,150 Yeah. So anyway, so the idea is is that you know when you wait 711 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:50,100 when you use country man, it's like you're supposed to be on 712 00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:54,210 stage is something a lot of singers use them. And a lot of 713 00:39:54,210 --> 00:39:57,090 preachers use them and you know friend and friend of mine wants 714 00:39:57,090 --> 00:39:59,970 to do stand up comedy with one and you put the you put the 715 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,640 Country man on your face. And then you have the, you know, 716 00:40:03,420 --> 00:40:05,310 back radio on the back, but you're not going to be wearing 717 00:40:05,310 --> 00:40:08,520 headphones. So these things are supposed to fit without a pair 718 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,400 of headphones, crimping them on. So I'm wondering whether, you 719 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,830 know, maybe my I don't know, I don't think my ears any weirder 720 00:40:13,830 --> 00:40:17,550 than anybody else's, but I don't know, I'm having second thoughts 721 00:40:17,550 --> 00:40:19,710 about they're so expensive, these Countryman mics, and I'm 722 00:40:19,710 --> 00:40:22,290 having second thoughts about using one really, what's it 723 00:40:22,290 --> 00:40:23,370 called for when I travel? 724 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,450 Yeah, what do they call? 725 00:40:25,350 --> 00:40:26,700 It cost about 400 bucks. 726 00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:29,670 So that's pretty steep. But they're great. But 727 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:31,560 you know, I just for travelling, I mean, I could throw it in the 728 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,920 suitcases, they weighed nothing. So I don't have to go, you know, 729 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,870 and when you travel nowadays, you want to travel light, and 730 00:40:36,870 --> 00:40:39,900 you don't want to check luggage. And so I you know, rather than 731 00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:43,590 carrying around a big clunky microphone or something like I 732 00:40:43,590 --> 00:40:50,670 did last time when I went to Portugal, Ohio, too much, you 733 00:40:50,670 --> 00:40:52,590 know, too agonising. 734 00:40:52,980 --> 00:40:56,760 So what else is going on in your neck of the woods, Ron John has 735 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,880 drawn, why do I say that from time to time that's not used? 736 00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:02,880 And means you it means you lost it, it means you're losing 737 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,740 interest in the conversation, correct? 738 00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:08,939 Yeah, that was yeah, there you go. We figured it out. Whenever 739 00:41:08,939 --> 00:41:14,219 I start calling you, Ron, that means What's your name? Whenever 740 00:41:14,219 --> 00:41:16,409 I start calling you, Ron, you, you know that I'm losing 741 00:41:16,409 --> 00:41:16,889 interest? 742 00:41:17,429 --> 00:41:20,819 Yeah. Well, I just just to get Yeah, well, I suppose you are 743 00:41:20,819 --> 00:41:23,549 because you know, you're not going to get the countryman. So 744 00:41:23,549 --> 00:41:23,699 I'm 745 00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:27,300 not I'm very happy with with my with my new discovery with a lav 746 00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:30,300 microphone. It's faster. Which one is it you're using, it's the 747 00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:37,230 electro UHF you m 110. And I've had these for seven years. And I 748 00:41:37,230 --> 00:41:40,530 carry them with me everywhere. And just in case they want I 749 00:41:40,530 --> 00:41:43,140 need a good sound recording because it's a lav microphone, 750 00:41:43,140 --> 00:41:46,110 but I just I just hooked it right on my windscreen here and 751 00:41:46,110 --> 00:41:48,240 it works fine. People love the sound. So why am I going to 752 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:48,600 argue? 753 00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:52,740 Are you talking directly into it? Yeah. Yeah, I don't have to, 754 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,990 because you have a wind screen in front of it. 755 00:41:55,380 --> 00:41:59,670 It has its own little windscreen on it. So I've clipped it 756 00:41:59,670 --> 00:42:02,910 literally onto the windscreen, which is still hanging in front 757 00:42:02,910 --> 00:42:05,310 of the Heil microphone, as we discussed earlier, because I 758 00:42:05,310 --> 00:42:08,640 liked the idea of a microphone. I can't I can't get into this. 759 00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:11,399 Anyway, hold on a second. Let me just try to visualise what 760 00:42:11,399 --> 00:42:12,509 you're just described. Alright, 761 00:42:12,540 --> 00:42:17,220 I'm here. I have a mic stand and a boom. And then I have on the 762 00:42:17,220 --> 00:42:22,560 end of that I have a Heil, you know, the pro 40. Right, the pro 763 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,480 40 in it's that cool, professional looking wire hanger 764 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:27,930 thing. 765 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,730 You know what I mean? Looks like a cat's cradle cradle right. 766 00:42:32,909 --> 00:42:36,059 And then and then I have a windscreen in front of that. Now 767 00:42:36,059 --> 00:42:39,959 the windscreens previously was turned the other way around, and 768 00:42:39,959 --> 00:42:43,409 my joint burned a hole in one and one side of it. So I've 769 00:42:43,859 --> 00:42:47,579 flipped it around and I put the atika just kind of squeezed the 770 00:42:47,579 --> 00:42:52,229 microphone, the love in between the two screens. And I fold it 771 00:42:52,229 --> 00:42:54,479 down in front of the mic. And so now it feels like I'm talking 772 00:42:54,479 --> 00:42:55,469 into a real microphone. 773 00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:59,340 But you actually have a lot of a layer mic hanging there by this 774 00:42:59,340 --> 00:43:03,090 wire is between it's clicking real microphone. 775 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:09,150 Yes. It's clipped onto the windscreen. Yes. Could you could 776 00:43:09,150 --> 00:43:12,660 you turn on your speakers just a little bit for me, John. Oh, 777 00:43:12,660 --> 00:43:15,150 sure. Because when I get excited I hear myself. 778 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:21,240 Yeah, well, I think you do that anyway. So now that sounds 779 00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:22,290 pretty cockamamie. 780 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,450 Well, what else? I mean, what am I going to do with it like to 781 00:43:27,450 --> 00:43:32,040 tape it on my forehead or? Or hold it with a pencil? You know? 782 00:43:33,060 --> 00:43:34,590 It's got to be hanging somehow. 783 00:43:35,159 --> 00:43:37,709 Yeah, no, I mean, it's just like having a Ferrari pulled by a 784 00:43:37,709 --> 00:43:39,299 donkey. It sounds like to me, 785 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,810 Well, this was an expensive set. This was like 700 bucks. This is 786 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,080 this is a real a real set for the Lavalier Yeah, and and it's 787 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,610 with rivets. And so I literally had 788 00:43:47,610 --> 00:43:51,270 Johnny Mike Thank you. But I thought you'd have it. Go to 789 00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:53,370 yourself to maybe some wireless and you'd be walking around the 790 00:43:53,370 --> 00:43:55,230 house. I can but then I can 791 00:43:55,229 --> 00:43:57,779 just that I couldn't hear you because I don't have the return 792 00:43:57,779 --> 00:43:59,999 wireless so I guess I could put on put Bluetooth Bluetooth 793 00:43:59,999 --> 00:44:00,659 headset on 794 00:44:01,170 --> 00:44:05,460 or something. But anyway, it's people have commented that you 795 00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:08,730 sound better on this lavalier than you do on the PR 40 Yep. 796 00:44:10,140 --> 00:44:12,930 You I think you I think it's maybe because you're so 797 00:44:12,930 --> 00:44:19,440 naturally bassy that you don't need a lot of you don't need to 798 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,710 overdo it because a PR 40 I think emphasises the low end 799 00:44:22,740 --> 00:44:23,160 Yeah. 800 00:44:23,159 --> 00:44:27,629 And it becomes a little woolly on my voice. But anyway. 801 00:44:28,260 --> 00:44:32,460 Yeah, you need what you need is a notch filter. On knotch 802 00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:34,740 filter. Yeah. What's that? 803 00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:38,970 You want to this thing that notch Do you have one of the 804 00:44:38,970 --> 00:44:42,570 sound guys I used to work with explained it to me that most 805 00:44:42,570 --> 00:44:45,750 people have a little goose called Mud down at the low end 806 00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:48,450 of their voice and they viewed notch it out and I think the 807 00:44:48,450 --> 00:44:54,450 knotch you want to not just from 200 to 400 Hertz. You just want 808 00:44:54,450 --> 00:44:57,420 to take that just want to take that out and you just notch it 809 00:44:57,420 --> 00:44:59,760 out with a notch filter and then you get it cleans up your it 810 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,090 makes you Much more. You understand, you know, you're 811 00:45:03,090 --> 00:45:04,710 just more crystal clear. 812 00:45:04,980 --> 00:45:08,940 I do filter my microphone and I have taken some of that out. But 813 00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:12,090 you know, it's just an EQ. I don't call it a notch filter. 814 00:45:12,180 --> 00:45:12,600 Yeah. But 815 00:45:12,599 --> 00:45:15,449 notching is better because he could pull it exact frequencies 816 00:45:15,479 --> 00:45:17,969 and yield they're gone. They're never they don't come through at 817 00:45:17,969 --> 00:45:20,369 all. It's not like they're they're rolled off or anything 818 00:45:20,369 --> 00:45:23,369 that like any, you know, equalised roll, he kind of turns 819 00:45:23,369 --> 00:45:26,339 things into a curve and pushes it down, but it's still there. 820 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:28,530 I'm looking at in my, 821 00:45:29,850 --> 00:45:33,150 in my sound filters, I don't see anything called a knotch filter, 822 00:45:33,150 --> 00:45:33,480 though. 823 00:45:35,639 --> 00:45:36,989 No, I'm shooting get one. 824 00:45:37,020 --> 00:45:40,470 I mean, I'm kind of torn because at the new place, I want to go 825 00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:45,270 really minimalistic. So all I want is 119 inch rack, I don't 826 00:45:45,270 --> 00:45:48,150 have to have all this 19 inch gear but not in a rack. So I'm 827 00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:51,300 going to you know, there's like five or six things I just want, 828 00:45:51,420 --> 00:45:54,420 you know, great compressors and things not not using them now. 829 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,540 And then I want really just you know, it's my laptop. I've got 830 00:45:57,540 --> 00:46:00,750 my fader Fox MIDI controller, you know, a microphone and 831 00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:03,420 that's it and everything, no more wires, you know, just get 832 00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:05,130 rid of all this shit. Well, you 833 00:46:05,130 --> 00:46:07,230 need the wire hooked to the lead. Here's what I would, 834 00:46:07,260 --> 00:46:10,860 here's what I would recommend visually, for the minimalistic 835 00:46:10,890 --> 00:46:15,960 studio that you're looking for. Get yourself a mannequin like a 836 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,160 good looking one and have her seated in a chair in the middle 837 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,730 of the room, which it has to be stocked bear. And she's got 838 00:46:23,730 --> 00:46:26,700 nothing on. And then the mannequin is holding a fishing 839 00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:31,440 reel, Rod rod and reel. And out of the at the end of the real is 840 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:37,230 a wire hanging down with the lab at the bottom. And you have just 841 00:46:37,230 --> 00:46:41,040 a folding chair that you sit in front of the lab at the end of 842 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,060 the reel and you just tuck into it. Okay, that would be cool. 843 00:46:46,020 --> 00:46:49,200 Yeah, yeah, people don't know. But you know, John sits in a lot 844 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,340 of programming meetings at WME VO and whenever, whenever 845 00:46:53,340 --> 00:46:56,730 there's a brainstorming session, John always resorts to Yeah, 846 00:46:56,730 --> 00:47:00,660 let's do auditions with hookers. It's always the same with you. 847 00:47:01,020 --> 00:47:04,980 Yeah, let's do I got an idea. A show with hookers.

To 852 00:47:19,439 --> 00:47:21,419 lighten up any meeting and some of these meetings are pretty 853 00:47:21,419 --> 00:47:26,099 dull. Just you you have to you have to use the word hookers. 854 00:47:26,369 --> 00:47:30,479 Because it's funny, it always gets a big laugh you have to 855 00:47:30,479 --> 00:47:32,549 admit brings into the house. It 856 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,450 was only like 10 minutes after that you text me say Hey, call 857 00:47:36,450 --> 00:47:41,730 me so I can leave this meeting. Which of course I dutifully did. 858 00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:45,839 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thanks for mentioning that. So make sure 859 00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:49,469 everyone knows luckily nobody in that meeting will be listening 860 00:47:49,469 --> 00:47:53,219 to this show. Probably we we have one fan at the at the 861 00:47:53,219 --> 00:47:54,599 company, which is Andrew. 862 00:47:55,140 --> 00:47:59,250 Oh grommet. Yeah, Andrew Romer listens to everything he does, 863 00:47:59,310 --> 00:48:01,650 but this is the stuff that well this is why Andrew started 864 00:48:02,190 --> 00:48:06,240 unsung hero by the way of the Podcast Movement in my opinion, 865 00:48:06,660 --> 00:48:10,050 Andrew Gromit because he really was the team leader and the end 866 00:48:10,050 --> 00:48:15,990 the catalyst behind iPod or lemon which later became juiced 867 00:48:17,310 --> 00:48:23,820 and juice and and he and he got into it because he liked he 868 00:48:23,820 --> 00:48:26,040 liked the whole idea of the programming and so he wanted to 869 00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:31,410 essentially build the receiver side and yeah Hey Andrew, shout 870 00:48:31,410 --> 00:48:31,680 out 871 00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:36,780 Yeah, well he'll come up G The thing is always listening to 872 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,100 listen to these shows with a timely manner not like you know 873 00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:43,770 everyone's well again, you know, I listened that no agenda show 874 00:48:43,770 --> 00:48:46,200 from five months ago on you know, you guys said about blah, 875 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,060 blah, blah. You're talking about 876 00:48:50,730 --> 00:48:52,980 you and I don't remember we're talking about five minutes ago. 877 00:48:54,060 --> 00:48:58,110 So that's true. That's how you do it. So what else is going on 878 00:48:58,110 --> 00:49:00,420 in the news over there? You said the weather was cold. 879 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,420 Oh yeah, it's well as I said, it's been it's the coldest since 880 00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:08,520 1976. We already went through that flooding today massive 881 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,670 flooding and the rains are you know, the heavens have opened up 882 00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:15,420 flooding.

Actually, I was reading a BBC article here about 912 00:50:54,510 --> 00:51:02,070 Obama. Robert Gates, who is of course the Defence Secretary, or 913 00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:05,640 the US equivalent of the Minister of Defence in the 914 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,300 United States, who's been that ever since Donald Rumsfeld 915 00:51:09,300 --> 00:51:13,500 resigned. So he's the guy mainly responsible for the surge. And 916 00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:17,580 of course, he's staying on for the Obama administration. Gee, 917 00:51:18,750 --> 00:51:24,210 that's some change. He says the new president security team is 918 00:51:24,210 --> 00:51:27,060 ready to defend us national interest from the moment he 919 00:51:27,060 --> 00:51:30,480 takes office next month. Mr. Gates, who was staying in his 920 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,120 post said Middle East and Gulf security would remain a key 921 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:40,860 issue for the US. And he said he's warning foes of America of 922 00:51:40,890 --> 00:51:45,030 testing Obama, this is a throwback to the infamous Biden 923 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,110 ban. Yeah, be tested and you're not gonna like what he does. 924 00:51:49,110 --> 00:51:49,470 Yeah. 925 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:55,410 So the guy is saying anyone who thought that the upcoming months 926 00:51:55,410 --> 00:51:58,530 might present opportunities to test the new administration 927 00:51:58,530 --> 00:52:02,460 would be sorely mistaken. Who them's fightin words. 928 00:52:03,330 --> 00:52:04,590 sorely mistaken. 929 00:52:04,620 --> 00:52:05,910 That's what he says a quote. 930 00:52:06,659 --> 00:52:08,189 Let me surely miss you will 931 00:52:08,190 --> 00:52:10,560 be. So that's what my parents used to say, you know, if you 932 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:16,110 don't come in, by eight o'clock. He'll be if those street lights 933 00:52:16,110 --> 00:52:19,140 are on and you're asked isn't in this house, Adam Clark curry. 934 00:52:19,830 --> 00:52:26,370 Yeah. That's kind of this kind of freaky. You good things he 935 00:52:26,370 --> 00:52:26,700 knows. 936 00:52:26,699 --> 00:52:28,169 I don't know, I guess they're gonna, you know, they're 937 00:52:28,169 --> 00:52:32,549 expecting something. Precisely. I mean, they must know. And, you 938 00:52:32,549 --> 00:52:34,769 know, I don't know why they just don't tell the public what they 939 00:52:34,769 --> 00:52:37,529 know. They know something. Because I you know, I mean, a 940 00:52:37,529 --> 00:52:40,829 lot of times I think they, when they reveal, I mean, every once 941 00:52:40,829 --> 00:52:42,149 in a while, they say, well, there's going to be a terrible 942 00:52:42,149 --> 00:52:44,879 thing happening, you know, and it's going to go down this way. 943 00:52:44,999 --> 00:52:48,269 It usually sorts the plot, but they'd rather they rather see 944 00:52:48,269 --> 00:52:51,839 these plots unfold, you know, at the risk of public, you know, 945 00:52:51,839 --> 00:52:55,409 death. And, well, why Well, 946 00:52:55,409 --> 00:52:59,219 I think there's a number of things one is first of all, a 947 00:52:59,219 --> 00:53:01,889 lot of them are just idiots, you know, like he needed a degree to 948 00:53:01,889 --> 00:53:05,579 become a politician. So they just don't know any better you 949 00:53:05,579 --> 00:53:10,289 know, their actual senators who who think that the US dollar is 950 00:53:10,289 --> 00:53:12,959 still backed by gold. I mean, this is how dumb some of these 951 00:53:12,959 --> 00:53:15,509 people are. You can't say all of them are because they're not 952 00:53:15,509 --> 00:53:19,979 clearly so they they just don't know be there. They're under 953 00:53:19,979 --> 00:53:24,359 severe threat that the whole financial bailout the economic 954 00:53:24,359 --> 00:53:30,179 stability act, you know, Paulson literally went to went to to the 955 00:53:30,179 --> 00:53:33,089 Senate and the Congress and said, hey, you know, if we don't 956 00:53:33,089 --> 00:53:35,519 pass this, it's all going to come crashing down. We're gonna 957 00:53:35,519 --> 00:53:38,729 have martial law in the United States. That's what he was 958 00:53:38,729 --> 00:53:41,429 telling he was threatening them almost. So they don't know. 959 00:53:41,429 --> 00:53:45,299 Okay? So they don't understand. They don't they don't know. 960 00:53:46,230 --> 00:53:48,900 And you don't know they don't know. 961 00:53:48,929 --> 00:53:52,169 You know, me. I'm, I'm pretty sure it's all planned. 962 00:53:52,889 --> 00:53:58,739 So let's get back to this sling box. When you're going to hook 963 00:53:58,739 --> 00:54:02,309 us up when we get in the new place. And what should I buy? 964 00:54:02,309 --> 00:54:04,559 Why I should have mine hooked up I have five real life I'm gonna 965 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,710 give you virgin you're gonna have virgin cable, which is 966 00:54:07,710 --> 00:54:12,900 stacked every channel is able to access it because yeah, I have 967 00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:15,990 my own private cable box. That no no, 968 00:54:15,989 --> 00:54:18,299 I'm saying what because I've just noticed he had downloaded 969 00:54:18,299 --> 00:54:20,759 the newest software from sling and they said well, you know, 970 00:54:21,089 --> 00:54:23,879 it's only good in the US you can't use even though you did 971 00:54:23,879 --> 00:54:25,739 you download the same stuff. Oh, 972 00:54:26,159 --> 00:54:30,839 no, I have a sling box here. So So I use my Slingbox my UK 973 00:54:31,529 --> 00:54:36,359 software to look at the at the Detroit the Detroit one. 974 00:54:36,780 --> 00:54:40,290 Okay, it wasn't a problem. No, they will look at my box easy. 975 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,330 You will do you have a box yet? 976 00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:46,380 Yeah, I know. I've got two I'm gonna put one on the Send me 977 00:54:46,380 --> 00:54:49,260 your ID man. Well, I haven't hooked it up. I'm gonna hook it 978 00:54:49,260 --> 00:54:53,550 up to what I realised is that I have a Comcast, my you know, my 979 00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:56,370 internet connection is Comcast. But to get the deal I got for 980 00:54:56,370 --> 00:55:00,000 the high speed. I also had to get the cable but I don't you 981 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,310 Use the cable because I use the Dish Network. What would I use? 982 00:55:02,310 --> 00:55:06,330 You know, the cable for? And so, but I realised I can just hook 983 00:55:06,330 --> 00:55:09,540 the sling box onto the cable directly. So listen, you got the 984 00:55:09,540 --> 00:55:13,830 software right there. You have the software on the box. Yeah. 985 00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:17,310 It's on. No, it's not on this machine. It's on another 986 00:55:17,310 --> 00:55:19,710 machine. Okay, because because I have a 987 00:55:19,710 --> 00:55:20,640 Slingbox here. 988 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,380 Is it working? Yeah, 989 00:55:22,409 --> 00:55:25,709 that's what I hear. There's my number. There's my ID. Okay, you 990 00:55:25,709 --> 00:55:25,859 can 991 00:55:26,130 --> 00:55:29,010 pick it up. Your ID is PNG. I don't think so. 992 00:55:29,850 --> 00:55:32,460 No, it would be the what came right after that. 993 00:55:33,989 --> 00:55:37,769 Okay, I'll give it a shot later. But anyway, the point is, I'm 994 00:55:37,769 --> 00:55:42,179 just gonna hook this sling box onto this Comcast cable, and 995 00:55:42,179 --> 00:55:45,479 you'll be just dedicated just like yours. Yeah. To be looked 996 00:55:45,479 --> 00:55:46,229 at when you feel like 997 00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:48,150 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 998 00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:53,010 So I was looking at my I do have a bandwidth metre on because you 999 00:55:53,010 --> 00:55:55,800 can only with Comcast, you can tell and I'm using Comcast, 1000 00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:57,510 your upload limit. 1001 00:55:58,980 --> 00:56:02,340 Not that I know there's a there's like 250 gigabyte, 1002 00:56:02,460 --> 00:56:08,790 monthly limit. And I've been monitoring it to see you because 1003 00:56:08,790 --> 00:56:11,430 they never tell you how much you use. So for people out there 1004 00:56:11,430 --> 00:56:15,750 want to know I mean, general usage of just general internet 1005 00:56:15,750 --> 00:56:19,050 surfing and doing stuff like this once in a while. And these 1006 00:56:19,050 --> 00:56:23,340 other things are amounts to about, you know, usually about a 1007 00:56:23,340 --> 00:56:28,470 half a gigabyte, a half a gigabyte a day. Which gives you 1008 00:56:28,470 --> 00:56:32,580 a lot of leeway if you have 250 a month to play with. Yeah. When 1009 00:56:32,580 --> 00:56:38,190 you use the when I was hitting the Slingbox a lot in Detroit. I 1010 00:56:38,190 --> 00:56:42,480 ended up pushing about two gigabyte, two gigabytes a day. 1011 00:56:42,510 --> 00:56:45,870 Yeah. So that's what I'm thinking is probably what you're 1012 00:56:45,870 --> 00:56:50,520 going to spend which is about 62. Maybe you could push it to 1013 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,770 100 Giga Bytes a month. Maybe if you were doing a lot of a lot of 1014 00:56:55,770 --> 00:56:59,430 walking around that just simple surfing. So it is still It seems 1015 00:56:59,430 --> 00:57:00,990 that they still give you a lot of headroom. 1016 00:57:02,550 --> 00:57:06,390 Well, I have unlimited yoga, dude. 1017 00:57:06,659 --> 00:57:08,849 I'm not worried. I have unlimited. 1018 00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:12,629 Yeah, fine. Well, I have to be because when you tack hit my 1019 00:57:12,629 --> 00:57:14,849 sling box and you just have to leave it on all night because 1020 00:57:14,849 --> 00:57:17,519 you don't care. I want your unlimited. 1021 00:57:18,929 --> 00:57:22,259 I don't care. Hey, dude, let's just talk for one second about 1022 00:57:25,169 --> 00:57:27,659 black black Blagojevich, whatever his name is. 1023 00:57:29,639 --> 00:57:32,849 The governor from Illinois. Yeah, 1024 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,090 I can't pronounce his name either. Blagojevich I think it 1025 00:57:36,090 --> 00:57:37,200 is like go do whatever. I 1026 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:44,400 mean, is it just me or does anyone see this as like a sign? 1027 00:57:45,870 --> 00:57:49,680 Does anyone get the you know, this is the the nest where Obama 1028 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:50,430 comes from? 1029 00:57:52,199 --> 00:57:54,929 Well, you know, somebody pointed this out, interestingly enough. 1030 00:57:55,619 --> 00:57:56,369 Yeah. No 1031 00:57:56,370 --> 00:57:58,830 one's talking about that. Wait, 1032 00:57:58,830 --> 00:58:02,400 wait. It seems you know, they sit they believe that Obama rose 1033 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,340 so quickly in Chicago politics that he never really became that 1034 00:58:05,340 --> 00:58:08,490 much of the machine. And in fact, when he was talking about 1035 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,330 the overheard conversations with the FBI, where they were calling 1036 00:58:12,330 --> 00:58:16,620 him and, you know, cussing about him, because he wasn't going to 1037 00:58:16,620 --> 00:58:20,970 play ball. Obama gave up. I don't know if you saw it, but 1038 00:58:20,970 --> 00:58:23,670 when he came out, and when you saw him giving his talk about 1039 00:58:23,670 --> 00:58:26,130 well, you know, these guys, I got nothing to do with it. You 1040 00:58:26,130 --> 00:58:30,510 can tell by the conversations. I didn't. He had a real smug look 1041 00:58:30,510 --> 00:58:34,320 on his face. Like yeah, didn't catch me didn't catch me. Touch 1042 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,510 me on this one. This is not that. Yeah. 1043 00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:40,770 But it's just amazing. You know, just just to read some of the 1044 00:58:40,770 --> 00:58:45,540 transcripts. And and what this guy and his wife to what looks 1045 00:58:45,540 --> 00:58:47,400 like a real bitch. 1046 00:58:48,750 --> 00:58:49,530 Now Oh. 1047 00:58:52,770 --> 00:58:55,860 Well, I'm just kind of bad. You know, Jesse Jackson, Jr. I guess 1048 00:58:55,860 --> 00:58:58,440 caught got caught up in it most recently because somebody is I 1049 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,560 guess we wanted to collect a million dollars to get him the 1050 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:06,690 job. And I've met him. He's really a nice guy. You know, you 1051 00:59:06,690 --> 00:59:10,290 maybe I don't know what part of the machine he is. But I sure 1052 00:59:10,290 --> 00:59:13,230 got screwed in this deal. He'll never get anything like that now 1053 00:59:13,230 --> 00:59:15,750 and now under the cloud of suspicion, even though he 1054 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,310 probably had nothing to do with it. 1055 00:59:17,489 --> 00:59:20,219 But but you know, the whole fact that That's literally how this 1056 00:59:20,219 --> 00:59:22,649 shit is done. You know, you know, that's the way it goes is 1057 00:59:22,649 --> 00:59:25,199 that these seats are traded that way. That's not the way 1058 00:59:25,199 --> 00:59:28,499 government works. So that is almost proof that fascism 1059 00:59:28,529 --> 00:59:35,069 Fascism is rape is rampant in the US political system, because 1060 00:59:35,069 --> 00:59:39,089 it's corporatism interwoven with government done. Yes. Corporate 1061 00:59:39,090 --> 00:59:45,330 corporatism for sure and of I don't know, bad Patricia's 1062 00:59:45,570 --> 00:59:45,930 point. 1063 00:59:46,529 --> 00:59:49,349 My point is is that you know, everyone's like, Oh, well, okay. 1064 00:59:50,279 --> 00:59:52,859 Yeah, well, that's because we're getting jaded I mean, this good. 1065 00:59:52,859 --> 00:59:55,439 They're gonna hound this guy. I mean, it's interesting that this 1066 00:59:55,439 --> 00:59:58,079 guy, you know that you have the collapse of that $50 billion 1067 00:59:58,649 --> 01:00:01,619 Ponzi scheme guy. And then you had this happened at about the 1068 01:00:01,619 --> 01:00:04,199 same time and it's like people don't you know that what should 1069 01:00:04,199 --> 01:00:06,869 we be talking about with Darien near the Obamas in the mix 1070 01:00:06,869 --> 01:00:10,919 somehow? Just a lot of bad news. It seems just like one thing 1071 01:00:10,919 --> 01:00:11,759 after another. 1072 01:00:12,809 --> 01:00:17,099 We have we have someone at the at the office to go on named, 1073 01:00:17,489 --> 01:00:23,249 who is a massive, massive Obama supporter. And I can know who 1074 01:00:23,249 --> 01:00:29,099 that is. Well, you do. And at a recent company meeting she was 1075 01:00:29,099 --> 01:00:33,329 talking about how excited she was that were you there? Were 1076 01:00:33,329 --> 01:00:36,509 you at the at the at the all hands meeting? Yeah, he was so 1077 01:00:36,509 --> 01:00:39,629 excited because she has front row seats to the inauguration. 1078 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,750 Yeah. But I mean, she's a huge fan. 1079 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:47,010 She's gonna be so disappointed. I feel so bad for what 1080 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,440 you mean. She's gonna be disappointed in the two or three 1081 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:50,160 years from now. 1082 01:00:50,489 --> 01:00:56,459 Six months from now, dude. Two or three years, please. 1083 01:00:58,770 --> 01:01:02,850 I would say and I'll put this down as a as a Okay, here it 1084 01:01:02,850 --> 01:01:09,180 comes gentleman's bet. Okay. Six months from now. She's not going 1085 01:01:09,180 --> 01:01:11,580 to be disappointed. And Obama's going to look like the greatest 1086 01:01:11,580 --> 01:01:12,600 thing since sliced bread. 1087 01:01:12,630 --> 01:01:17,280 Okay, I'll take that one. You got it? Well, okay, well hold on 1088 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,870 a second, will it because she's been hypnotised into believing 1089 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,450 because it because a lot of you know, it'd be a very positive 1090 01:01:24,900 --> 01:01:25,620 time. 1091 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,600 In general you think is going to be so we will not be at war? 1092 01:01:31,619 --> 01:01:33,749 Well, I'm not saying that we're at war now. And I don't think 1093 01:01:33,749 --> 01:01:38,099 he's gonna pull out although he could. I think I just know, six 1094 01:01:38,099 --> 01:01:40,529 months out, I'm gonna make this assertion that six months from 1095 01:01:40,529 --> 01:01:44,279 now, things are gonna be really he's gonna be everyone's gonna 1096 01:01:44,279 --> 01:01:47,309 be very happy with Obama. Okay, you're gonna have a high rating 1097 01:01:47,309 --> 01:01:48,119 and all the rest of it. 1098 01:01:48,300 --> 01:01:52,470 Okay, well, that you got that bed, my friend. Now, but you 1099 01:01:52,470 --> 01:01:55,470 don't think so. Now, of course, first of all 20,000 troops are 1100 01:01:55,470 --> 01:01:58,140 going to go to Afghanistan, we're going to have a whole 1101 01:01:58,140 --> 01:02:01,470 bunch of crap going down in Pakistan, India is going to be 1102 01:02:01,470 --> 01:02:04,770 on our side, there's going to be the question is how well it will 1103 01:02:04,770 --> 01:02:10,650 be reported. If you even know what's happening. I believe that 1104 01:02:10,650 --> 01:02:14,160 we're really going to be in a in a in some kind of quagmire with 1105 01:02:14,910 --> 01:02:18,900 this EU regulation both because you know, you can't you can, 1106 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:23,310 maybe the US could separate on climate and say, Okay, we want 1107 01:02:23,310 --> 01:02:27,390 to do climate this way or that way. You know, Bush declined to 1108 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:33,090 ratify the Kyoto Protocol. But when it comes to economics, and 1109 01:02:33,090 --> 01:02:36,270 now that they're intertwined, I don't think the US can get away 1110 01:02:36,270 --> 01:02:39,990 with not being a part of the whole carbon credit scheme. And 1111 01:02:39,990 --> 01:02:43,650 that is going to affect us. It really will or the US it will it 1112 01:02:43,650 --> 01:02:45,870 will severely affect that. I don't think it's going to be a 1113 01:02:45,870 --> 01:02:47,910 happy time in six months from now. Now. 1114 01:02:48,060 --> 01:02:51,720 No right now. We'll go over it in six months. What would that 1115 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,850 date been? Do we have it? June let's make it June 30. June 1116 01:02:56,850 --> 01:03:01,680 30. Okay. That's good. When I'm bringing you food. 1117 01:03:04,020 --> 01:03:06,600 We have a deli. Yeah, that's true. You got 1118 01:03:06,599 --> 01:03:07,499 plenty of pepper, 1119 01:03:08,639 --> 01:03:11,399 deli and he has a lot of cured and eat 1120 01:03:12,060 --> 01:03:16,080 cured meats. So you could go on Letterman and actually know your 1121 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:16,770 cuts of meat. 1122 01:03:17,219 --> 01:03:24,239 I could, yeah, I'm one of the few. So So I brought back from 1123 01:03:24,689 --> 01:03:31,559 Portugal a very strange piece of meat cured meat. In Portugal, 1124 01:03:31,559 --> 01:03:33,839 they make this this sausage called the end, which is 1125 01:03:33,869 --> 01:03:37,559 generically in the United States called Ling Louisa and all the 1126 01:03:37,559 --> 01:03:40,169 linguistic providers around here and I told the story when I was 1127 01:03:40,169 --> 01:03:42,239 over there, by the way, and everyone was kind of interested 1128 01:03:42,239 --> 01:03:47,699 in the story. We when I was a kid, I was lived most of my 1129 01:03:47,729 --> 01:03:52,109 childhood youth in Newark, California. And Newark, 1130 01:03:52,319 --> 01:03:55,379 California was a I didn't realise it at the time. I'm 1131 01:03:55,379 --> 01:03:58,169 looking back on it. Now, I obviously was kind of a 1132 01:03:58,169 --> 01:04:03,809 settlement at one point for the Portuguese expats from the 30s 1133 01:04:03,809 --> 01:04:07,649 or 40s, or something. And so the Tao was mostly Portuguese 1134 01:04:07,649 --> 01:04:11,459 everyone who was named, you know, fritas or Silva Silva or 1135 01:04:12,149 --> 01:04:17,819 bogus and there's a bunch of different PLGA is bogus, bogus. 1136 01:04:18,449 --> 01:04:21,659 And anyway, there's all these ports and they're all 1137 01:04:21,719 --> 01:04:26,789 Portuguese. And so one of the things that was I was raised, 1138 01:04:27,089 --> 01:04:29,429 because they just have these events on Saturday, were dances 1139 01:04:29,429 --> 01:04:31,769 and whatever at this big hall, they when they would cook 1140 01:04:31,769 --> 01:04:34,439 outside, they would cook the sausage, which was this exact 1141 01:04:34,649 --> 01:04:39,869 linguica sausage. And instead of hot dogs ate these things, and 1142 01:04:39,869 --> 01:04:43,619 there's about six factories, or maybe as many as 20 at one time 1143 01:04:43,619 --> 01:04:48,119 in the area that made this sausage just Ling Lisa over the 1144 01:04:48,119 --> 01:04:52,019 year is a lost favour. It's too expensive. And it also is 1145 01:04:52,019 --> 01:04:54,899 difficult to make because part of the process is has to be a 1146 01:04:55,049 --> 01:05:00,629 kind of a wine cured meat that's in the sausage and And so 1147 01:05:00,629 --> 01:05:03,659 anyway, they, these places became less and less and it was 1148 01:05:03,659 --> 01:05:08,129 one left in San Leandro. That was the best called Santos. And 1149 01:05:08,129 --> 01:05:11,819 Santos made a turn. One of the great it was one of the lat it 1150 01:05:11,819 --> 01:05:15,989 was the last great California Ling Lisa. But because of the 1151 01:05:15,989 --> 01:05:20,489 process for making it, which goes back in time, it was 1152 01:05:20,489 --> 01:05:24,929 illegal to do the process by Health Department standards. 1153 01:05:25,110 --> 01:05:28,200 What was so illegal about it? I don't know. Not enough, Melanie, 1154 01:05:28,230 --> 01:05:28,590 I'd have to 1155 01:05:28,590 --> 01:05:30,810 go back and find the records. But I think it had to do with 1156 01:05:30,810 --> 01:05:32,790 the curing or leaving the meat out or 1157 01:05:32,790 --> 01:05:35,040 you need to you need to put more melamine in it. 1158 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:42,870 Right. Yeah, that would be okay. Anyway, so. So the guy kept 1159 01:05:42,870 --> 01:05:45,180 getting harassed by the Health Department. And one day he 1160 01:05:45,180 --> 01:05:47,040 flipped out and killed two of them. 1161 01:05:47,100 --> 01:05:50,220 Excellent. That's what everybody in Portugal. 1162 01:05:51,060 --> 01:05:55,020 Excellent. Yeah, of course. People are crazy. 1163 01:05:55,380 --> 01:05:59,850 So they drew the guy in jail as a murderer. And then he bad 1164 01:05:59,850 --> 01:06:02,550 time, like a year or two ago, and I never got the recipe. 1165 01:06:03,450 --> 01:06:05,880 Oh, shit. Now that really sucks. 1166 01:06:06,300 --> 01:06:09,570 Well, then when I go to Portugal, it turns out that this 1167 01:06:09,570 --> 01:06:12,660 recipe, which I thought was just because lingua means sausage, 1168 01:06:12,660 --> 01:06:13,050 it's 1169 01:06:13,049 --> 01:06:17,489 like the pancakes of Portugal. Yeah. Every I 1170 01:06:17,489 --> 01:06:19,439 mean, this sausage is everywhere. I mean, it's not 1171 01:06:19,439 --> 01:06:22,319 like a secret how to make this stuff is complicated. There's a 1172 01:06:22,319 --> 01:06:24,779 place up in Oregon for anyone out there wants to try googling 1173 01:06:24,779 --> 01:06:28,979 Guiza called tailors. And you can look it up and to and tailor 1174 01:06:28,979 --> 01:06:32,789 chips. And they and they have a credible linguist that in fact, 1175 01:06:32,789 --> 01:06:34,739 when I'm in Washington, I usually stop at one of the 1176 01:06:34,739 --> 01:06:37,739 stores that carries it and buy stock up on this stuff, and then 1177 01:06:37,739 --> 01:06:39,899 bring it down to California where I should be able to get 1178 01:06:39,899 --> 01:06:43,589 good Ling WESA, but I can't, it's either too grainy or it 1179 01:06:43,589 --> 01:06:46,589 doesn't have that right soaked meat taste or whatever, where 1180 01:06:46,589 --> 01:06:49,649 it's not chunky, there's a lot of gristle in a good language. 1181 01:06:49,649 --> 01:06:53,579 So anyway, so But meanwhile, I'm going to the store and this 1182 01:06:53,579 --> 01:06:56,939 woman is taking me around from the Commerce Department of the 1183 01:06:56,939 --> 01:06:59,729 country, because I had to stop at a store wherever I travel, 1184 01:06:59,729 --> 01:07:02,189 and she I'm looking for some sausages to bring back or 1185 01:07:02,189 --> 01:07:05,909 something. And she points out this strange thing, which is 1186 01:07:05,909 --> 01:07:09,959 kind of like, the ultimate is not a linguist. It's a big like 1187 01:07:09,959 --> 01:07:13,649 a salami, but it's, it's made in the same way. So it's 1188 01:07:13,649 --> 01:07:16,229 essentially and there's nothing else in there. But the beat, but 1189 01:07:16,229 --> 01:07:18,659 the meat itself, which is obviously cured in some way, 1190 01:07:18,659 --> 01:07:21,239 because the stuff is not even refrigerated doesn't have to be 1191 01:07:21,419 --> 01:07:26,789 just, it is unbelievably delicious. But you have to kind 1192 01:07:26,789 --> 01:07:29,549 of you have to boil it or cook. I mean, it's just I haven't 1193 01:07:29,549 --> 01:07:32,819 figured out how to prepare it properly. But it's like a, it's 1194 01:07:32,849 --> 01:07:37,199 this flavour. So my wife who has the spice store, she's doing a 1195 01:07:37,199 --> 01:07:42,239 lot of research, and she is working on a book on spices, she 1196 01:07:42,269 --> 01:07:46,679 makes the assertion using that word again, that most of these 1197 01:07:46,679 --> 01:07:49,979 cured meats and Salamis and all these things that have been that 1198 01:07:49,979 --> 01:07:55,019 had been perfected over the years. Spices weren't used 1199 01:07:55,079 --> 01:07:57,869 necessarily for adding flavour. Oh, 1200 01:07:58,170 --> 01:08:01,140 it was for preservation of food. Right, right. 1201 01:08:01,139 --> 01:08:06,149 And almost every one of these crazy spices has some specific 1202 01:08:06,389 --> 01:08:11,219 characteristic dioxin kills some sort of bacteria. Yes, 1203 01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:14,460 I love this. John, you have to come out with that book. Because 1204 01:08:14,460 --> 01:08:17,700 this is what people are going to need. We have to get away from 1205 01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:21,420 this crap that we call food that has nothing to do with food. 1206 01:08:21,540 --> 01:08:27,150 It's either chemicals posing as protein, like melamine, which by 1207 01:08:27,150 --> 01:08:30,930 the way, is now accepted acceptable at 2.5 parts per 1208 01:08:30,930 --> 01:08:36,330 million by the Federal Food and Drug Administration. Or it said 1209 01:08:36,330 --> 01:08:39,660 Jim, genetically modified, and God knows what that's doing to 1210 01:08:39,660 --> 01:08:40,050 us. 1211 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,800 Yeah, I know, you never know. So anyway, so they so you end up 1212 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,650 with these characteristics that can't be duplicated unless you 1213 01:08:46,650 --> 01:08:49,770 follow the process. And so when the health department by the 1214 01:08:49,770 --> 01:08:52,200 way, this is going to hit the EU harder than it hits us and I 1215 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,910 talked about this when I was in Portugal, what do you what 1216 01:08:53,910 --> 01:08:57,360 happens when some guy from Brussels comes into Portugal and 1217 01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,460 say you can't make sausage that way? 1218 01:08:59,460 --> 01:09:02,880 It's already happening. It's called the Codex Alimentarius. 1219 01:09:02,910 --> 01:09:05,580 Yeah, you and that, I got to start reading that, you know 1220 01:09:05,580 --> 01:09:08,790 what, you will never get through it because it well, maybe you 1221 01:09:08,820 --> 01:09:11,580 because of course, you are a chemical engineer and a health 1222 01:09:11,580 --> 01:09:15,810 inspector and coin collector and all kinds of incredible careers 1223 01:09:15,810 --> 01:09:20,550 that you've had a coin. It's very, very, very, very 1224 01:09:20,550 --> 01:09:24,540 technical. But they're out there basically outlawing anything 1225 01:09:24,540 --> 01:09:25,470 good for you. 1226 01:09:26,670 --> 01:09:30,570 Well, or anything like these, these classic old recipes, which 1227 01:09:30,570 --> 01:09:34,890 were designed to keep you from getting SAS? Exactly, and maybe 1228 01:09:34,890 --> 01:09:39,000 points out and this is also in the book, which is especially 1229 01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,290 during the Middle Ages, where you'd have one you know, feudal 1230 01:09:43,290 --> 01:09:45,540 Empire takeover and other the first thing they do is they 1231 01:09:45,540 --> 01:09:48,930 steal the cooks. The cooks would be the first guys and they'd 1232 01:09:48,930 --> 01:09:53,760 have to work for the new guy. And if they poisoned him, he was 1233 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:58,980 dead. The cook so you know, they had so these recipes in these 1234 01:09:58,980 --> 01:10:01,770 developments. These these procedures for making preserved 1235 01:10:01,770 --> 01:10:04,770 meat because it didn't have refrigeration. And all these 1236 01:10:04,770 --> 01:10:07,500 things were designed not to make you sick. They're designed to 1237 01:10:07,530 --> 01:10:08,220 keep you 1238 01:10:08,220 --> 01:10:11,820 alive. Yeah. And those processes are being that this 1239 01:10:11,820 --> 01:10:14,820 guy Santos was using to make this delicious delicious 1240 01:10:14,820 --> 01:10:19,770 linguica sausage we ate for decades and never got sick. You 1241 01:10:19,770 --> 01:10:22,320 know, they wanted to mess with it. It actually may have been a 1242 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:30,420 threat to the public health itself. Yes. Right, don't you 1243 01:10:30,420 --> 01:10:30,780 think? 1244 01:10:31,260 --> 01:10:36,420 Of course me look now you're in my camp, you know? Are you 1245 01:10:36,420 --> 01:10:39,510 kidding me? I'm just rolling my eyes thinking yeah. Oh, welcome 1246 01:10:39,510 --> 01:10:41,640 to the world of the of the awakened John. 1247 01:10:42,150 --> 01:10:45,360 And if anyway, this reminds me of the French who are 1248 01:10:45,750 --> 01:10:49,320 complaining bitterly especially the guys who make various kinds 1249 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,190 of goat cheese. And if you go to France, anyone goes to the 1250 01:10:53,190 --> 01:10:55,500 French countryside did the last thing you get at the end of your 1251 01:10:55,500 --> 01:10:57,990 meal and in any decent restaurant or probably every 1252 01:10:57,990 --> 01:11:00,780 restaurant in France, at least anyone that's a restaurant as 1253 01:11:00,780 --> 01:11:06,210 opposed to a bistro is a bro out. Usually a platter filled 1254 01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:11,040 with local cheeses. And there none of them are almost like 1255 01:11:11,070 --> 01:11:14,280 they just bought them out for you. And there's like within 1256 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,580 that group, there's always about tangy goat cheeses which are 1257 01:11:17,580 --> 01:11:19,140 always marked by a funny shape and 1258 01:11:19,290 --> 01:11:23,670 dusted with a pungent smell. Well, the goat cheeses Yeah, 1259 01:11:23,730 --> 01:11:25,950 well the smells like some of them. Some are pretty pungent. 1260 01:11:26,250 --> 01:11:28,860 Anyway, they have all these goat cheeses and the way they make 1261 01:11:28,860 --> 01:11:31,440 the goat cheese in these places is same thing they've been doing 1262 01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:33,990 it you know from handing it down from father to son for a reason 1263 01:11:33,990 --> 01:11:36,780 and they use it they put the cheese on a certain kind of wood 1264 01:11:36,810 --> 01:11:38,730 when they cure it and they do this and they do that and they 1265 01:11:38,730 --> 01:11:39,870 have to fight they fall over. Oh 1266 01:11:39,870 --> 01:11:42,540 yeah, but that word isn't clean. Oh no that can't. 1267 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,380 Brussels inspectors come in. They're sitting there telling 1268 01:11:46,380 --> 01:11:49,140 all the goat cheese makers in France to get rid of the wood. 1269 01:11:49,140 --> 01:11:51,270 They do use plastic. Oh, of 1270 01:11:51,270 --> 01:11:56,100 course with melamine. There you go. We're back to the melamine 1271 01:11:56,100 --> 01:11:57,870 now it's not right. It's just 1272 01:11:57,870 --> 01:12:02,760 It's just I find it kind of depressing. You seem to be you 1273 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,570 know, a mind that they think they can beat the system. See, 1274 01:12:06,570 --> 01:12:06,780 that's 1275 01:12:06,780 --> 01:12:09,690 why I was so excited about this about this Italian shop, you'll 1276 01:12:09,690 --> 01:12:13,710 see because they've got all kinds of sausages and and, and 1277 01:12:13,710 --> 01:12:17,160 all different kinds of cuts of meat. You know, it's real stuff. 1278 01:12:17,190 --> 01:12:20,340 It's not you know, they they source it themselves. 1279 01:12:20,820 --> 01:12:23,400 Oh, great. Yeah, no, I'm sure that's dynamite. You should just 1280 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:24,480 shop no place else. 1281 01:12:24,510 --> 01:12:26,940 That's what I'm Thank you. That's what I was trying to say 1282 01:12:26,940 --> 01:12:29,670 is, you know, I don't need to go anywhere else. Everything they 1283 01:12:29,670 --> 01:12:33,600 have there is homemade. They've got jars of stuff of you know, 1284 01:12:33,630 --> 01:12:38,070 any from horseradish. That's homemade to you name it. Oh, no, 1285 01:12:38,070 --> 01:12:41,370 I'm very excited about it. There's mine. Yeah, yeah, there 1286 01:12:41,370 --> 01:12:44,280 is indeed no reason to go shop anywhere else right there as 1287 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:48,060 fine. They don't sell cat food. That's about it. They they sell 1288 01:12:48,060 --> 01:12:49,710 cattle they do not they did not. 1289 01:12:51,390 --> 01:12:54,990 So the thing is, I'm always surprised by people there'll be 1290 01:12:54,990 --> 01:12:59,490 somebody that lives in that block. That won't shop there. 1291 01:12:59,700 --> 01:13:02,940 Because rustic or something. 1292 01:13:03,930 --> 01:13:06,330 Bow because they're, they're hooked on the shit. 1293 01:13:07,890 --> 01:13:10,500 It's always surprising to me that you could be in some 1294 01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:12,960 neighbourhood and you can have like the world's greatest little 1295 01:13:12,990 --> 01:13:16,500 store. And you won't support the store you rather go to you know, 1296 01:13:16,500 --> 01:13:20,130 Safeway or something. Because you just didn't know, I'd be 1297 01:13:20,130 --> 01:13:23,220 just baffling. And I think more people get like that. And even 1298 01:13:23,220 --> 01:13:26,280 in the country, where they should know better. They will 1299 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,160 shop they won't shop in the appropriate place when they have 1300 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:32,850 the opportunity if you don't have a choice. Yeah, great. But 1301 01:13:33,150 --> 01:13:35,340 when you have a choice, and when you have a choice like that 1302 01:13:35,370 --> 01:13:36,240 little meet Mark, 1303 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,600 no brainer. It's a no brainer. And we have the farmers market 1304 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:43,860 that comes once a week into the high street. No, let's good. 1305 01:13:43,890 --> 01:13:49,650 Yeah. So Formula One is in trouble. 1306 01:13:50,670 --> 01:13:54,900 Yeah, and that's funny. That's funny. Did the math I mean, just 1307 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,640 losing their pants and they cost like, 1308 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,850 three 300 million a year for a team just to just to 1309 01:13:59,850 --> 01:14:03,960 participate? Yeah, with all costs pounds by by the way, if 1310 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:09,510 you're a million pounds so Honda's out what else was out 1311 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:12,270 there was another like every team is now saying I don't know 1312 01:14:12,270 --> 01:14:16,080 man. And what do you do if you're a Formula One driver in 1313 01:14:16,110 --> 01:14:18,660 Formula One falls apart? What your what do you what can you 1314 01:14:18,660 --> 01:14:26,250 really go and do as a car? On NASCAR? I want to turn right I 1315 01:14:26,250 --> 01:14:27,330 want to turn right. 1316 01:14:29,010 --> 01:14:31,830 You know NASCAR is pretty exciting. Have you ever driven 1317 01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:34,410 will have been in one of those cars or get taken hot laps or 1318 01:14:34,410 --> 01:14:36,000 anything but it's pretty I 1319 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,730 think I've driven just about every not Formula One but I've 1320 01:14:38,730 --> 01:14:46,020 driven Indy NASCAR formula 2000 Haven't done rally rally doesn't 1321 01:14:46,350 --> 01:14:49,920 I was rally looks dangerous me. 1322 01:14:50,489 --> 01:14:54,509 So shall I do they guys on top gear which is really probably 1323 01:14:54,509 --> 01:14:57,239 one of the best auto shows ever. Yeah, you know, they got into a 1324 01:14:57,239 --> 01:15:00,599 fire I guess one of them drove a Formula One car or something. In 1325 01:15:00,599 --> 01:15:03,899 a process of driving a Formula One car, it's ridiculous. It's 1326 01:15:03,899 --> 01:15:06,749 fact it's not even like driving. It's like every million push 1327 01:15:06,749 --> 01:15:09,659 buttons is like computer programming. Well, they also 1328 01:15:09,659 --> 01:15:09,899 call 1329 01:15:09,900 --> 01:15:13,230 it they don't call you a driver. They call you a pilot. Your 1330 01:15:13,230 --> 01:15:13,920 Formula One's 1331 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,260 pilot ants. Yeah. Yeah. The 1332 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,650 trying to think I think 1333 01:15:19,650 --> 01:15:22,020 these guys would like to go into NASCAR. Because in NASCAR, you 1334 01:15:22,020 --> 01:15:23,700 know, they do bump each other quite a bit. 1335 01:15:25,140 --> 01:15:28,350 These guys like to swear to God, if you talk to a Formula One 1336 01:15:28,350 --> 01:15:31,380 driver, they'll say, No, I like to turn right once in a while. 1337 01:15:31,470 --> 01:15:32,910 That's what they all say. Yeah, they say 1338 01:15:32,910 --> 01:15:36,180 that they're moaning and groaning so what? No, you will 1339 01:15:36,180 --> 01:15:39,720 you'd like to turn right where there's a bank? No. Would you 1340 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,660 like to turn right where there's like, you know, the poor house. 1341 01:15:44,100 --> 01:15:47,190 Well, there you go. That's a good point. IndyCar was cool, 1342 01:15:47,190 --> 01:15:49,170 though. I drove IndyCar at the end. 1343 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:51,240 That was cool. 1344 01:15:51,540 --> 01:15:52,830 How fast did you get it up? 1345 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:55,350 To speed that is 1346 01:15:55,379 --> 01:16:00,809 it didn't have a speedometer. So I really don't know. If it's it 1347 01:16:00,809 --> 01:16:03,209 didn't that was but the night yeah, that was that time. Yeah. 1348 01:16:03,449 --> 01:16:05,429 There's no like speedometer on the Indy car. 1349 01:16:05,730 --> 01:16:09,660 They must they had a tack. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, you 1350 01:16:09,660 --> 01:16:13,050 know, I was I was specifically told not to read more than 1351 01:16:13,050 --> 01:16:13,830 10,000 1352 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,620 Okay, well, then you could have made the calculation find out 1353 01:16:16,620 --> 01:16:21,150 what the ratio of the rear end and the van to gearbox and I was 1354 01:16:21,150 --> 01:16:23,400 number of PMS. You could have figured out your speed. 1355 01:16:23,460 --> 01:16:28,830 Yeah, I was too busy looking at the chicks and pit lane. had no 1356 01:16:28,830 --> 01:16:33,270 patience for that. But the bailout for the car industry 1357 01:16:33,270 --> 01:16:35,610 hasn't happened. You know, this is a worldwide thing. This is 1358 01:16:35,610 --> 01:16:39,270 not just the US. They're they're big and they're big and over 1359 01:16:39,270 --> 01:16:42,630 here to the car companies. 1360 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,700 Yeah, I heard that. I don't know. I mean, you know, maybe if 1361 01:16:47,700 --> 01:16:48,180 they 1362 01:16:49,410 --> 01:16:51,930 Well, it's really interesting because here's what I've seen. 1363 01:16:51,930 --> 01:16:52,860 So the 1364 01:16:53,190 --> 01:16:55,830 cars were such a commodity that they would just have one hiccup 1365 01:16:55,830 --> 01:16:57,720 and the next thing you know, these guys are all going out of 1366 01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:58,260 business. 1367 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,250 Why? You know, there's there's a lot of people tied in you know, 1368 01:17:02,250 --> 01:17:04,920 they're talking about the supplies also, if the US 1369 01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,500 companies go down then the supplies of certain raw 1370 01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:10,890 materials goes up so becomes a real problem for everybody but 1371 01:17:11,250 --> 01:17:15,840 you know, parts and you know, a lot of different manufacturers 1372 01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,390 in different countries make parts for you know, for a lot of 1373 01:17:18,390 --> 01:17:21,660 auto companies so you know, there's a fear that they could 1374 01:17:21,660 --> 01:17:26,250 go under of course dealerships are huge so I I understand where 1375 01:17:26,250 --> 01:17:32,730 the fear comes from. But what's kind of funny is that the the 1376 01:17:32,730 --> 01:17:36,480 Treasury who of course has this, this tarp this, you know, this 1377 01:17:36,480 --> 01:17:39,630 700 billion little sliver compared to what they've 1378 01:17:39,630 --> 01:17:43,590 actually spent of our money. And they're saying, No, we don't 1379 01:17:43,590 --> 01:17:46,200 want to give any of that money to the to the car companies, you 1380 01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,070 know, that's for our friends, and you go find your own money. 1381 01:17:50,070 --> 01:17:52,830 We've got our supply right here. We're not going to give it to 1382 01:17:52,830 --> 01:17:56,730 those guys, not to Detroit, no way. But here was 1383 01:17:56,730 --> 01:17:59,880 a website that documented the amount of money given to 1384 01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:03,390 Congress by both the banks and the banking interests and the 1385 01:18:03,390 --> 01:18:07,530 car companies and it was like something like 100 times more 1386 01:18:07,530 --> 01:18:11,280 money came from the banking interests the bankers get barely 1387 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,670 gave like a you know, anything to Congress because they didn't 1388 01:18:14,670 --> 01:18:15,870 have a lot of money to give 1389 01:18:15,900 --> 01:18:19,860 but they're regretting that now. Oh, yeah. Man we should have 1390 01:18:19,860 --> 01:18:24,000 been on was a K Street what is that what is called street 1391 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,560 Avenue K whatever. We're all the lobbyists live 1392 01:18:29,070 --> 01:18:32,370 yeah, there's I don't know the name of the street. But yeah, 1393 01:18:32,370 --> 01:18:35,220 there's some street as in notorious, but, ya know, 1394 01:18:35,220 --> 01:18:38,550 obviously, the whole thing was mismanage Do 1395 01:18:38,550 --> 01:18:40,830 you think they're still gonna get some money? Do you think 1396 01:18:40,830 --> 01:18:40,950 they're 1397 01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:44,640 gonna get some everything make him suffer first? You know, why, 1398 01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,040 if you gotta you got these guys on the ropes and you're kind of 1399 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:51,720 sadists you know, let's, let's make them suffer, you know? And 1400 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,810 then this will teach them a lesson about not giving us 1401 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:58,800 enough money for our campaigns. Let's teach him a lesson that 1402 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,890 was to make him suffer to the last second. Oh, that's a good 1403 01:19:01,890 --> 01:19:03,270 idea, Jim. Okay. 1404 01:19:05,130 --> 01:19:06,240 It's our money though. Dude. 1405 01:19:07,830 --> 01:19:09,360 Our money? Yeah. 1406 01:19:10,470 --> 01:19:13,650 It's not it's our it was our money. 1407 01:19:14,490 --> 01:19:20,460 You asked me last week about the Lisbon Treaty. Right. So here's 1408 01:19:20,460 --> 01:19:24,240 the headline from the Daily Mail. EU leaders agree on bribes 1409 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,810 to convince Irish voters to vote yes to treaty at second 1410 01:19:27,810 --> 01:19:34,170 referendum. Does that kind of sum it up for you? Well, the 1411 01:19:34,170 --> 01:19:36,000 Daily Mail, yeah, 1412 01:19:36,270 --> 01:19:39,090 but, you know, it's essentially what so they're gonna do another 1413 01:19:39,090 --> 01:19:40,440 referendum. It's like, 1414 01:19:40,470 --> 01:19:42,900 yeah, they're gonna tell you what up. My experience has 1415 01:19:42,900 --> 01:19:46,530 always been always reminds me of a guy who used to be a gas 1416 01:19:46,530 --> 01:19:51,390 station owner in Niles, California. And as I George Warm 1417 01:19:51,390 --> 01:19:54,060 Springs, one of these old little Berg's who used to run for 1418 01:19:54,060 --> 01:19:57,150 office all the time, and you'd see his name on every ballot. He 1419 01:19:57,180 --> 01:20:01,410 just gets soundly whipped. Because he was is a dud and so 1420 01:20:01,410 --> 01:20:05,040 one day he ran for the board of the BART thing before they built 1421 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:08,940 a BART rat barrier rapid transit and in for some reason or other 1422 01:20:08,940 --> 01:20:13,920 he got in and it was just like my I mean whether he was any 1423 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,980 good as a BART director I don't know I can't remember like 1424 01:20:16,980 --> 01:20:20,730 probably not but but the point is is that he just kept going 1425 01:20:20,730 --> 01:20:23,610 over and over you keep putting it in there putting it in there. 1426 01:20:24,180 --> 01:20:27,870 If you keep you can review Rand as the Irish were refused to 1427 01:20:27,870 --> 01:20:31,590 vote this in 20 times in a row they were 21 Yes, it's like you 1428 01:20:31,590 --> 01:20:33,630 know that's flipped for it now let's do two out of three No, 1429 01:20:33,630 --> 01:20:36,270 no, no, let's do five three out of five. No, no, no, no. You 1430 01:20:36,270 --> 01:20:39,780 give you do this for in an infinite period of time. It will 1431 01:20:39,780 --> 01:20:41,940 get through it's just as basic corruption. 1432 01:20:42,150 --> 01:20:45,210 Yeah, well, thank you. That's why the headline says it all 1433 01:20:45,210 --> 01:20:50,670 bribes corruption. Thank you. Meanwhile, that that check guy 1434 01:20:50,670 --> 01:20:54,480 that's going to be funny when he takes over because little known 1435 01:20:54,480 --> 01:20:59,460 fact, the Czech Republic has also not ratified the then they 1436 01:20:59,460 --> 01:21:02,730 don't have a referendum but they haven't ratified it. The Lisbon 1437 01:21:02,730 --> 01:21:06,810 Treaty, and this guy is a very strong opponent, or at least 1438 01:21:06,810 --> 01:21:09,630 that's the way he's been speaking as of late. And if any 1439 01:21:09,630 --> 01:21:13,320 big he will become president of the EU very soon, I believe. 1440 01:21:13,919 --> 01:21:17,339 Oh, maybe he'll stave off or push away the you know this the 1441 01:21:17,369 --> 01:21:21,599 grander scheme? Maybe he'll get fascinated seems fine to me. 1442 01:21:21,630 --> 01:21:22,860 Now. He's gonna get killed. 1443 01:21:24,090 --> 01:21:24,900 Out. Okay. 1444 01:21:26,850 --> 01:21:28,350 Do you think by June 30, they 1445 01:21:28,350 --> 01:21:32,370 have put it down put me down for a dead check by June 30. Okay. 1446 01:21:33,450 --> 01:21:36,990 What did you have by June 3 I Obama, everybody happy? And I'm 1447 01:21:36,990 --> 01:21:41,640 saying Anyway, happy. I'm saying nobody happy. And we got a dead 1448 01:21:41,670 --> 01:21:42,510 dead check. 1449 01:21:42,810 --> 01:21:45,420 I'm not gonna argue well, no, actually, I'll argue against a 1450 01:21:45,420 --> 01:21:47,940 dead check. I think Did he though? Keep them alive. Keep 1451 01:21:47,940 --> 01:21:51,960 them alive. Yeah. Okay. But what they'll do is they'll persuade 1452 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,750 him to see the error of his ways. Yeah, 1453 01:21:54,870 --> 01:21:58,950 I hear that the Saakashvili the the Georgian Prime Minister is 1454 01:21:58,950 --> 01:22:00,090 getting kicked out though. 1455 01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:03,480 It's about time. Yeah. Well, 1456 01:22:03,780 --> 01:22:06,840 and and and, you know, they've all agreed now that yeah, we 1457 01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,740 started it. Of course, no one gives a shit. Okay. 1458 01:22:10,890 --> 01:22:13,230 They all agree that we started it the GA and 1459 01:22:13,230 --> 01:22:15,540 started it. Yeah, they're the minister. They're now in the 1460 01:22:15,540 --> 01:22:18,660 parliament saying, Well, yeah, we kind of started bombing 1461 01:22:18,660 --> 01:22:21,330 first. But the Russians were ready for us. 1462 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:26,790 So meanwhile, of course, me, I didn't know this, by the way. So 1463 01:22:26,790 --> 01:22:29,190 meanwhile, our media, nobody picks up on this because we 1464 01:22:29,190 --> 01:22:31,290 still think Russia is the bad guy in this thing. And they are 1465 01:22:31,290 --> 01:22:33,630 they just admitted guilt. But nobody cares. Is that what 1466 01:22:33,630 --> 01:22:34,050 you're saying? 1467 01:22:34,079 --> 01:22:36,569 That's what I'm saying. Great. 1468 01:22:37,110 --> 01:22:37,920 That's what I'm saying. 1469 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:42,990 Another moment of enlightenment. Because if people followed our 1470 01:22:42,990 --> 01:22:44,190 show, they would know they would 1471 01:22:44,190 --> 01:22:47,100 know all this stuff. Yeah. Well, that's why we got to 200,000 1472 01:22:47,100 --> 01:22:51,240 people listening by the way, it's not enough. We need more 1473 01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:55,680 and we'd like you. Yes, you. We'd like you to tell a friend. 1474 01:22:56,010 --> 01:22:57,090 Turn them on to our show. 1475 01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:03,420 Give them a copy. Yeah, burn a copy. Burn a copy and give it to 1476 01:23:03,420 --> 01:23:06,270 a friend say listen to these two idiots. Maybe they you're either 1477 01:23:06,270 --> 01:23:07,620 on to something. Yeah, you'd like 1478 01:23:07,620 --> 01:23:11,640 wind. Here. Listen to the Wind. You got the right play like wind 1479 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,810 pepper. Do you like do you like sausage? This is the show for 1480 01:23:15,810 --> 01:23:16,140 you? 1481 01:23:16,770 --> 01:23:20,010 Yeah, we're, we're Yeah, let's see we have we haven't. By the 1482 01:23:20,010 --> 01:23:22,020 way. You don't want to give the show to a vegan? 1483 01:23:22,350 --> 01:23:27,330 No, please. Bad idea. Or Canadian? Apparently, man. We 1484 01:23:27,330 --> 01:23:30,660 pissed off a lot of Canadians last week. What from from what? 1485 01:23:30,780 --> 01:23:33,150 Well, everyone's like you don't know shit about Canada. You 1486 01:23:33,150 --> 01:23:34,590 don't know how it works. This was not 1487 01:23:35,490 --> 01:23:37,560 a thing they're doing up there. We don't know anything was yeah, 1488 01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,580 that's why we got to Detroit. Let's explain. That's how we got 1489 01:23:41,580 --> 01:23:45,990 the Detroit sling bird toys. That's right. Yes. He gets to 1490 01:23:45,990 --> 01:23:50,040 Canadian channels. He gets the CBC and something else. And 1491 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,980 we're gonna watch Canadian television and catch up. This is 1492 01:23:52,980 --> 01:23:56,970 how we're responsible. We are as to podcasters. 1493 01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,400 Yeah, we're actually taking time out of our day to get on the 1494 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:04,260 crappy sling box, which has been kindly offered to us by a no 1495 01:24:04,260 --> 01:24:09,900 agenda listener whose name I'm looking up as we speak. You 1496 01:24:09,900 --> 01:24:11,490 better keep talking because at Gmail, I 1497 01:24:12,060 --> 01:24:15,390 just I just wondering, I'm still trying to say why you'd call it 1498 01:24:15,390 --> 01:24:18,510 a crappy Yes. device. When earlier in the show you praised 1499 01:24:18,510 --> 01:24:18,720 it. That's 1500 01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:23,070 what I'm saying is it's extra effort. extra effort. We are 1501 01:24:23,070 --> 01:24:26,250 taking the effort. Okay. Andrew Thompson. There you go. Yeah. 1502 01:24:26,669 --> 01:24:29,609 Thank you so much. We have, we're using his Slingbox. And by 1503 01:24:29,609 --> 01:24:31,889 the way, if anybody out there is in some remote part of the 1504 01:24:31,889 --> 01:24:35,639 world, and they have a sling box. Yeah, send us the ID, send 1505 01:24:35,639 --> 01:24:38,129 us the ID and we'll watch your shows locally. And then we'll 1506 01:24:38,129 --> 01:24:41,399 make some comments about you don't have, in fact, a new sling 1507 01:24:41,399 --> 01:24:44,189 box software, which is really impressive. By the way, this 1508 01:24:44,189 --> 01:24:46,709 stuff you can download in any way, by the way out there can do 1509 01:24:46,709 --> 01:24:50,999 this. If you get an account. It actually maintains a database of 1510 01:24:50,999 --> 01:24:56,039 all the sling boxes that you're talking to go down, right? Yep, 1511 01:24:56,099 --> 01:24:59,729 it's great. He says go down the list and you click Detroit and 1512 01:24:59,729 --> 01:25:04,139 boom Hey, Amanda, Detroit Slingbox. So we've got. They 1513 01:25:04,139 --> 01:25:06,869 should be sponsoring this show. There you go. 1514 01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:09,600 Now that's that's a good segue. I'll go after that. Yeah, let's 1515 01:25:09,630 --> 01:25:12,930 have Lauren's column up. Tell him we, 1516 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,250 because we're using an international show, we got two 1517 01:25:17,250 --> 01:25:20,640 one guys in different parts of the hemisphere. We are 1518 01:25:20,670 --> 01:25:23,370 a we are the target audience, right that we will not check. 1519 01:25:23,370 --> 01:25:26,820 But otherwise, we're the perfect target audience for this device. 1520 01:25:27,780 --> 01:25:28,200 Right. 1521 01:25:29,550 --> 01:25:31,380 And I think a lot of people that listen to this show would 1522 01:25:31,380 --> 01:25:35,790 probably use it, you know, if they thought about it. So cheap 1523 01:25:35,790 --> 01:25:37,050 device, but it's not expensive. 1524 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,080 So we now have access to CBC Canadian Broadcasting 1525 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,950 Corporation out of Windsor, and something called Global 1526 01:25:44,789 --> 01:25:46,769 or something. I don't know, whatever the thing is, it's like 1527 01:25:46,769 --> 01:25:48,269 some station in Windsor. 1528 01:25:48,420 --> 01:25:53,490 And I know that you've been watching it because because you 1529 01:25:53,490 --> 01:25:59,400 left it on channel 99. Oh, I did. Yeah. Because it was I was 1530 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,190 surfing through right. And I also have the software 1531 01:26:02,190 --> 01:26:08,550 downstairs in the kitchen on Patricia's MacBook, and I'm 1532 01:26:08,550 --> 01:26:14,100 switching through and you know it, it's it stops on TMZ. Holmen 1533 01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:17,010 and then also I went to make a cup of tea and then like the 1534 01:26:17,010 --> 01:26:19,560 laptops gone. Patricia sitting there watching it. You know, I 1535 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,410 can't get it back. She's watching stupid celebrity gossip 1536 01:26:22,410 --> 01:26:23,430 on TMZ. 1537 01:26:26,550 --> 01:26:29,550 Yeah, that's pretty bad. Yeah, the but anyway, the other 1538 01:26:29,550 --> 01:26:32,850 device. Again, oh, I don't want to keep giving him all this free 1539 01:26:32,850 --> 01:26:35,430 publicity. Is the sling catcher. 1540 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,310 Yeah, this is the thing that I need because this is the is the 1541 01:26:38,310 --> 01:26:40,800 other side of it. Right? Then you use hooked that up and then 1542 01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,250 you can put a sling box stream on your television. 1543 01:26:44,610 --> 01:26:47,730 Right? Cool. So you don't have to just do everything on the 1544 01:26:47,730 --> 01:26:50,910 computer most. I mean, when the sling box first came out, I 1545 01:26:50,910 --> 01:26:54,150 thought it was kind of a hokey idea. But you know, until I 1546 01:26:54,150 --> 01:26:56,910 started realising the, especially with having two 1547 01:26:56,910 --> 01:26:59,880 different houses, that how advantageous it would be 1548 01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:02,460 especially since I can't get to local stations up in Seattle on 1549 01:27:02,460 --> 01:27:07,560 my dish network because of some legal thing. And and then when 1550 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,980 we started Dennett, having used it and realise how we're 1551 01:27:10,980 --> 01:27:14,700 actually very powerful gives you the local stations. He has his 1552 01:27:14,700 --> 01:27:17,490 own guide you can change the channels effortlessly. It's 1553 01:27:17,490 --> 01:27:18,090 amazing. 1554 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:22,890 Yeah, it is it really is. So I hope someone made some money on 1555 01:27:22,890 --> 01:27:23,220 that. 1556 01:27:23,940 --> 01:27:26,940 Well, I think the guy I've read it I was doing it I said at 1557 01:27:26,940 --> 01:27:29,700 dinner recently and somebody mentioned that the Slingbox 1558 01:27:29,700 --> 01:27:32,430 founders are really sharp character and uh, yeah, I'm sure 1559 01:27:32,430 --> 01:27:35,220 they did. Unfortunately, if it was if it wasn't for Sarbanes 1560 01:27:35,220 --> 01:27:37,050 Oxley company like that would have gone public and they would 1561 01:27:37,050 --> 01:27:38,040 have made some serious money. 1562 01:27:38,070 --> 01:27:42,780 Yeah, it'd be huge. I agree. Oh, well. Soon as soon as we get the 1563 01:27:42,780 --> 01:27:45,750 new the new bandwidth. Get it all set up. 1564 01:27:48,630 --> 01:27:50,760 Alright, me well check out the when you have hooked up now. 1565 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,260 Yeah, you should try it. But don't stay on it too long. 1566 01:27:55,260 --> 01:27:59,910 Because I have like some pathetic, like, like 300 kilobit 1567 01:27:59,910 --> 01:28:02,940 per second upload or something. It's really fucking sad. 1568 01:28:04,830 --> 01:28:06,630 Boo, you have a cap. 1569 01:28:07,500 --> 01:28:13,320 That's just the speed. I get one megabit down and 300k Speed up. 1570 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,380 So if you're watching this Slingbox is like you know, then 1571 01:28:16,410 --> 01:28:20,340 the internet comes falling crashing to its knees here. 1572 01:28:20,820 --> 01:28:23,670 I'll only do it at midnight in New York time. 1573 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,090 Hey, no, that's cool. That's cool. Any anytime after 1574 01:28:27,090 --> 01:28:28,620 midnight, here is no problem at all. 1575 01:28:30,450 --> 01:28:32,640 All right, good. Now I'll get mine hooked up in the next week 1576 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,880 or so I need to find the power supply for the one of them. 1577 01:28:38,190 --> 01:28:41,460 It helps I've heard if you have one of those that putting the 1578 01:28:41,460 --> 01:28:43,230 power on makes it better. 1579 01:28:43,860 --> 01:28:45,630 It actually works. Yeah. 1580 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:48,630 What else happen with Joomla? 1581 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:53,460 I think that's about it. The weather here is actually quite 1582 01:28:53,460 --> 01:28:58,650 good. But a little chilly. Then we had a big full moon and it's 1583 01:28:58,650 --> 01:29:01,800 raining up in Seattle. So I'm down here and not much. 1584 01:29:02,250 --> 01:29:04,230 So another weekend at home. 1585 01:29:05,310 --> 01:29:07,260 Yeah, well, next weekend, I'm going up for sure. Because I'm 1586 01:29:07,260 --> 01:29:09,510 gonna spend the whole week up, you know, for Christmas. And 1587 01:29:09,900 --> 01:29:12,630 well, that's, that's kind of interesting. So next weekend, so 1588 01:29:12,630 --> 01:29:15,000 are you going to call in or when do you want to do it? 1589 01:29:16,110 --> 01:29:18,750 I'm leaving on Sunday. So we can do it. Just do it the regular 1590 01:29:18,750 --> 01:29:21,540 time and then the next Saturday. I think I'm up there. But I'm 1591 01:29:21,540 --> 01:29:24,150 going to bring some gear up there. And I'm going to hook up 1592 01:29:24,300 --> 01:29:27,270 because I got you here what happened to change is that we 1593 01:29:27,270 --> 01:29:32,310 had this local provider but then my son Eric down the hill is 1594 01:29:32,310 --> 01:29:38,070 sitting on top of a fibre optic cable and so he had it was 1595 01:29:38,070 --> 01:29:40,560 actually this string and so it's actually strung on the telephone 1596 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:44,790 poles. And so he did a deal with a guy who apparently has the 1597 01:29:44,850 --> 01:29:50,100 legal rights to this fibre and so he bought up five Meg up and 1598 01:29:50,100 --> 01:29:56,070 down. Fibre connection which is straight shot, no sharing, and I 1599 01:29:56,070 --> 01:29:59,250 think we're actually getting 1010 megabits per second fibre 1600 01:29:59,430 --> 01:30:05,070 nice And then he's still he's got a one watt Wi Fi, a one watt 1601 01:30:05,070 --> 01:30:09,060 Wi Fi directional antenna thing shooting up to my house. And so 1602 01:30:09,060 --> 01:30:12,030 I'm picking up you know about 100 megabits per second on that 1603 01:30:12,030 --> 01:30:17,610 network. And then then taking the taking the, the fibre in and 1604 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,420 it is so much faster even though you know I have a fast 1605 01:30:21,420 --> 01:30:25,200 connection here on the Comcast but it has that that sense that 1606 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,390 like you wouldn't call it a delay, it's just like every once 1607 01:30:27,390 --> 01:30:30,660 in a while goes. Can you hold on just one second before I give 1608 01:30:30,660 --> 01:30:33,120 you that data? Because I am a little busy over here now. Okay, 1609 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,870 here it comes. The with the with the fibre just just wow, 1610 01:30:37,290 --> 01:30:40,620 boom. Yeah, I love that. I love the way they market it because I 1611 01:30:40,620 --> 01:30:43,410 did some research and you look at Virgin Media, which we're on 1612 01:30:43,410 --> 01:30:47,040 the five because we've got a fibre fibre optic network, and 1613 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,880 they say okay, you get the 20 megabits, it'll take you 1.7 1614 01:30:50,910 --> 01:30:54,900 seconds to download an mp3 track. Like what kind of 1615 01:30:54,900 --> 01:30:57,870 measurement is that? You know, that's not a Pink Floyd track. 1616 01:30:57,900 --> 01:31:01,440 Okay. It's like the taking averages and but the way they 1617 01:31:01,440 --> 01:31:03,240 market that is so misleading. 1618 01:31:03,660 --> 01:31:06,240 I hate that kind of marketing. Yeah, I want to just tell you 1619 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:09,150 what your megabits per second is going to be? Well they do they 1620 01:31:09,150 --> 01:31:11,820 do this at the big some people don't they just go on with a 1621 01:31:11,820 --> 01:31:14,970 bunch of oil. You can load a book and so on. You can download 1622 01:31:14,970 --> 01:31:17,040 a movie in an hour. You know, whatever. 1623 01:31:17,070 --> 01:31:19,230 They even say that with that tone of voice don't say well, 1624 01:31:19,230 --> 01:31:23,430 you could do the book. That's real marketing for you. Hey, can 1625 01:31:23,430 --> 01:31:29,190 you get Comcast you can even download mp3 Like that's exactly 1626 01:31:29,190 --> 01:31:33,390 the voice they use. Here's one. Here's one, John. We're not done 1627 01:31:33,390 --> 01:31:38,820 yet. Goldman predicts oil to hit $30 A barrel awkward, awkward U 1628 01:31:38,820 --> 01:31:46,380 turn after $200 warning or awkward, awkward U turn. You 1629 01:31:46,380 --> 01:31:48,180 should see this picture. 1630 01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:53,100 Go you have to assume once they made the statement that the oil 1631 01:31:53,100 --> 01:31:53,820 downturn is 1632 01:31:53,850 --> 01:31:57,780 over, it's gonna shoot up like a rocket. It's you after 1633 01:31:57,780 --> 01:32:00,420 they made that statement that did go up a little bit. You know 1634 01:32:00,420 --> 01:32:03,300 a lot of people think it's gonna stabilise it 30 Some people 1635 01:32:03,300 --> 01:32:04,860 think is gonna stabilise it 50 1636 01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:08,520 When they're ready, when they're ready to crush us as per plan, 1637 01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:13,410 which will probably be around June 25, then it's going to 1638 01:32:13,410 --> 01:32:14,430 skyrocket 1639 01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:17,100 on that see in it. 1640 01:32:18,390 --> 01:32:20,970 The supply and demand problem, they they got a serious problem. 1641 01:32:20,970 --> 01:32:24,030 They can't, you know, we cut back on our oil usage. And with 1642 01:32:24,030 --> 01:32:26,910 Obama coming in and pushing all this other stuff. I think oil 1643 01:32:26,910 --> 01:32:30,210 has got serious problems maintain these prices. I think 1644 01:32:30,210 --> 01:32:32,100 it's I think they're probably right about 30 1645 01:32:34,830 --> 01:32:36,240 All right. The guy 1646 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:38,670 who's running Iran says that they're planning their whole 1647 01:32:38,670 --> 01:32:43,380 economy on $30 barrel oil. And the guy from Saudi Arabia came 1648 01:32:43,380 --> 01:32:46,440 out and said out and you know, I wanted on 60 minutes last week, 1649 01:32:46,440 --> 01:32:50,040 he came out and said, Well, you know, out of the out of the 1650 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:52,470 ground is costing us two bucks to produce this stuff. 1651 01:32:54,030 --> 01:32:56,970 I think I'm hearing a lot more but okay, 1652 01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,060 he's just two bucks. I'm telling you go look at the 60 minutes on 1653 01:33:00,060 --> 01:33:03,210 Hulu. It's like two bucks. He says that's what it costs and 1654 01:33:03,210 --> 01:33:06,030 then they have hard to get oil. It's not like their oil is just 1655 01:33:06,060 --> 01:33:07,230 oozing out like it was. 1656 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:11,340 I'm telling you I got a friend of mine works at Halliburton 1657 01:33:11,340 --> 01:33:15,570 company. And he is an oil support services. And he says 1658 01:33:15,570 --> 01:33:19,110 it's it's really it's 20 bucks a barrel to get it out and onto 1659 01:33:19,110 --> 01:33:20,730 the container. I'm just 1660 01:33:20,730 --> 01:33:27,480 telling you what the guy said at least fourchette lowball himself 1661 01:33:27,510 --> 01:33:32,640 I don't know to make it sound like to help continue to 1662 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:34,500 bankrupt the Middle East. I don't know. 1663 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:36,930 It sounds like you didn't want to do that. 1664 01:33:38,130 --> 01:33:40,620 You know the story whatever. Do you know the story behind the 1665 01:33:40,650 --> 01:33:43,830 name Ponzi scheme just to bring the show for full circle 1666 01:33:44,970 --> 01:33:47,220 upon a guy named Ponzi Yeah, Charles 1667 01:33:47,220 --> 01:33:53,400 Ponzi. Yeah, and his original Ponzi scheme in 1920, estimated 1668 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:54,420 lost $10 million. 1669 01:33:57,540 --> 01:34:00,690 And it was the same thing you just you know, right. That's 1670 01:34:00,690 --> 01:34:03,090 what a lot of people think a lot of these multi level marketing 1671 01:34:03,090 --> 01:34:05,940 things are Ponzi schemes of some sort. I don't see 1672 01:34:05,940 --> 01:34:08,730 it as is I think that's a misnomer. When you call an MLM a 1673 01:34:08,730 --> 01:34:10,260 Ponzi scheme. That's not true. 1674 01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:13,410 It is when you're when your orientation is more to selling 1675 01:34:13,410 --> 01:34:16,710 franchises than it is to selling products. Okay, yeah, yeah, 1676 01:34:16,710 --> 01:34:19,470 true. And I have run into those, you know, it's like, you know, 1677 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,140 just sell it you want to sell product now and you should sell 1678 01:34:22,170 --> 01:34:24,840 more people to be under your umbrella and then they can do 1679 01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,970 yours and and they've had to actually change a bunch of 1680 01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,670 they've actually had laws against overdoing that so you 1681 01:34:29,670 --> 01:34:32,580 can't have a huge pyramid schemes. The other word for it. 1682 01:34:32,610 --> 01:34:36,540 That's yeah, that's the word. They change the the loss of the 1683 01:34:36,540 --> 01:34:39,420 pyramid can only go so far, you can't have an infinite pyramid, 1684 01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:41,790 which is how you you know, you made the big bucks. 1685 01:34:42,210 --> 01:34:45,540 Right? Nor can you have an infinite bubble, which is 1686 01:34:45,540 --> 01:34:47,190 exactly what happened here. 1687 01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:52,230 Right are an infinite Ponzi scheme. But the fact that he 1688 01:34:52,230 --> 01:34:55,350 could take it to 50 billion, that's amazing. 1689 01:34:55,950 --> 01:35:00,720 And for so many years 40 Just based on reputation Can I guess? 1690 01:35:00,990 --> 01:35:05,460 Yeah, no, that shows you what reputation can do for you didn't 1691 01:35:05,460 --> 01:35:11,820 work? Yeah, no. Reputation. I mean, people who thought highly 1692 01:35:11,820 --> 01:35:15,630 of his reputation guts were mistaken. There was a bunch of 1693 01:35:15,630 --> 01:35:19,800 I've gotten a couple papers from people that did it show that 1694 01:35:19,830 --> 01:35:23,010 this guy was under suspicion, like a decade ago, because there 1695 01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:25,020 there were these writers that would come and say, I don't know 1696 01:35:25,020 --> 01:35:28,200 how, how does he do it? How does he do it? It can't be done. And 1697 01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:29,940 then they always have them coded at the end. So well, you know, a 1698 01:35:29,940 --> 01:35:33,120 lot of people don't take it into consideration, that I'm a great 1699 01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:35,640 trader, and I know what I'm doing, maybe when you realise 1700 01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:37,320 that you'll see how I did it. Yeah. 1701 01:35:39,300 --> 01:35:42,990 Well, so we'll be talking about this guy. It'll be it's great. 1702 01:35:42,990 --> 01:35:46,110 And it makes fantastic headlines. And meanwhile, $8.4 1703 01:35:46,110 --> 01:35:53,010 trillion has been stolen from us by Goldman Sachs effectively by 1704 01:35:53,010 --> 01:35:57,570 accident by extension, with Paulson by extension, stolen, 1705 01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:03,840 just stolen. You know? You don't care. 1706 01:36:04,440 --> 01:36:06,270 I do care. I wish I was working for him. 1707 01:36:08,790 --> 01:36:10,620 John, would a lot of money make you happy? 1708 01:36:13,050 --> 01:36:16,380 No, but it would allow me in some time to go, you know, float 1709 01:36:16,380 --> 01:36:19,050 around Europe more. I mean, I have to work all the time. Or 1710 01:36:19,050 --> 01:36:21,300 I'm always around here podcasting or doing something 1711 01:36:21,300 --> 01:36:24,900 trying to clean the office fixing things. It's ridiculous. 1712 01:36:25,020 --> 01:36:26,280 When's the last time you move? 1713 01:36:27,270 --> 01:36:30,480 I haven't moved. Well, we we've had we have different 1714 01:36:30,480 --> 01:36:36,090 properties. And I haven't moved from this house for like 15 1715 01:36:36,090 --> 01:36:40,200 years. It's a long I think it's time. It's yeah, it's well, it's 1716 01:36:40,230 --> 01:36:42,900 well beyond time. But the problem that we have we have the 1717 01:36:42,900 --> 01:36:45,480 same problem that Port Angeles house is that if you don't 1718 01:36:45,480 --> 01:36:48,720 follow the every move every four years move and move and move. 1719 01:36:49,170 --> 01:36:54,180 You fall off the ladder. cumulate so much crap. What do I 1720 01:36:54,180 --> 01:36:55,860 mean? It's like a nightmare. Yeah. 1721 01:36:56,550 --> 01:36:59,280 Well, that's us, man. This is for years. It's time to move. 1722 01:36:59,310 --> 01:37:04,050 We're done. And it feels great. It's exciting. I really like it 1723 01:37:04,050 --> 01:37:06,810 and we enjoy moving. I mean, the actual process kind of sucks, 1724 01:37:06,810 --> 01:37:10,710 but you know, the throwing out the reboot. It's cool. I like 1725 01:37:10,710 --> 01:37:13,140 it. There's a lot of Bill a lot of bills you don't have to 1726 01:37:13,140 --> 01:37:15,810 change you know, you just don't don't tell them and you don't 1727 01:37:15,810 --> 01:37:16,740 see him anymore. 1728 01:37:18,150 --> 01:37:20,610 More power to you. Ya know, 1729 01:37:20,610 --> 01:37:23,610 it's like junk mail ends for a while I like that. That's kind 1730 01:37:23,610 --> 01:37:29,880 of cool. You consider it it's a buyers market. I hear 1731 01:37:29,940 --> 01:37:32,730 I'm trying to go as I well. I'm gonna wait for the market to 1732 01:37:32,730 --> 01:37:36,390 source I know what the market works in a wave anyway. So you 1733 01:37:36,390 --> 01:37:36,990 have a 1734 01:37:37,050 --> 01:37:40,290 you were telling you were telling me half a year ago now 1735 01:37:40,290 --> 01:37:41,520 is the time to buy. 1736 01:37:41,970 --> 01:37:44,790 Yeah, no, now's the time to buy but now's not the time to sell. 1737 01:37:45,150 --> 01:37:47,730 That's the difference. True true. So what I want to do is I 1738 01:37:47,730 --> 01:37:50,550 want to get into the California is going to make a comeback. 1739 01:37:50,550 --> 01:37:54,360 Probably that same June period that we're talking about next 1740 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:57,120 year California properties prices should stabilise and 1741 01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,760 start to go up to the point where I can sell at a at a 1742 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:03,570 decent amount of money that I need to sell that and but it's 1743 01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,240 but it will not have happened in other parts of the country 1744 01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:08,910 namely Washington State or some of these other places. Because 1745 01:38:08,910 --> 01:38:12,540 it because everything you know happens what happens in bulges 1746 01:38:12,780 --> 01:38:15,660 and so that I should be able to get the timing just right to get 1747 01:38:15,660 --> 01:38:20,520 out. And then get in within a good time to sell good time to 1748 01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:24,270 buy. Says it's just like a straddle and where are you gonna 1749 01:38:24,270 --> 01:38:26,850 go? Washington, 1750 01:38:26,940 --> 01:38:29,310 Oh, you want to go live there? You just want to sell this place 1751 01:38:29,310 --> 01:38:30,480 and sell up and be gone. 1752 01:38:30,630 --> 01:38:32,940 I want to get out of California because I think this place is 1753 01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:36,510 it's doomed me is bankrupt. You know, the bank robber got some 1754 01:38:36,510 --> 01:38:37,800 money on a stick it to us? 1755 01:38:37,980 --> 01:38:43,080 Yeah, probably on Oh, I know. Capital gains on how sales, 1756 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:44,370 that's how they'll stick it to you? 1757 01:38:44,670 --> 01:38:47,610 Well, no, they're not going to get away with that. But the 1758 01:38:47,700 --> 01:38:49,590 they're going to stick it to us in other ways. They're going to 1759 01:38:49,590 --> 01:38:53,280 have a value added tax, I'm convinced to that. And then 1760 01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:54,720 they're going to do two or three other things. They're going to 1761 01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:58,470 raise property about property taxes and everything they can 1762 01:38:58,470 --> 01:38:59,640 do. Oh, that you know, 1763 01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:02,820 that's really funny. The the big stimulus package here in the 1764 01:39:02,820 --> 01:39:07,080 United Kingdom was the reduction of the value added tax from 17 1765 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:13,200 and a half percent to 15%, which is a huge amount. But what's 1766 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:15,510 interesting, what they don't tell you is that on the very 1767 01:39:15,510 --> 01:39:21,720 same day that they lowered the VAT tax, they increased the 1768 01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:28,740 alcohol, the liquor tax by 8%. And no one wrote a single line 1769 01:39:28,740 --> 01:39:32,310 about it is like booze is 8% more expensive, but everyone's 1770 01:39:32,310 --> 01:39:35,160 talking about oh, they lowered the VAT by two and a half giving 1771 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,610 you a net five and a half point five increase on the number one 1772 01:39:40,710 --> 01:39:42,990 substance the Brits put into their bodies. 1773 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:47,580 They like to drink over there. Yeah, 1774 01:39:47,790 --> 01:39:51,270 yeah, they do. But it's cool, man. We got like five pubs in 1775 01:39:51,270 --> 01:39:54,120 our neighbourhood. I gotta find my local gotta find out 1776 01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,910 find a good one. Make sure they have Adnan's that's kind of one 1777 01:39:56,910 --> 01:40:03,780 of the keys. Beer. Yeah, AD and ans add an Enzo ale okay is 1778 01:40:03,780 --> 01:40:04,260 considered 1779 01:40:04,260 --> 01:40:07,170 probably just a nice atmosphere and cool people are should be 1780 01:40:07,170 --> 01:40:07,710 looking at 1781 01:40:07,710 --> 01:40:09,630 the addenda and still have the wrestle come with it. 1782 01:40:10,050 --> 01:40:12,600 Cool people could come included with the deal. 1783 01:40:13,140 --> 01:40:14,100 Yeah, you watch. 1784 01:40:15,269 --> 01:40:18,059 I'm going to send you a link John and we should talk about it 1785 01:40:18,059 --> 01:40:23,849 next week. It's from a Colorado. What's the university out there, 1786 01:40:23,849 --> 01:40:24,599 Colorado, 1787 01:40:24,810 --> 01:40:26,400 University of Colorado Buffaloes. 1788 01:40:26,669 --> 01:40:28,739 Boulder. Boulder. Boulder was involved in 1789 01:40:28,740 --> 01:40:32,340 Boulder. Yeah. Okay. So as he pronounced it up there, boda 1790 01:40:32,370 --> 01:40:32,850 boda. 1791 01:40:33,359 --> 01:40:38,279 It's a university professor in a in his classroom, and it's about 1792 01:40:38,279 --> 01:40:41,879 20 minutes. And he's talking about and he's, he's kind of an 1793 01:40:41,879 --> 01:40:45,659 old Kook, which is obviously why I liked him. And he's talking 1794 01:40:45,659 --> 01:40:52,679 about the inability of human beings to understand the concept 1795 01:40:52,709 --> 01:40:56,369 of exponential growth. And he goes through a whole number of 1796 01:40:56,369 --> 01:41:00,899 examples, how exponential growth works. And then he draws 1797 01:41:00,899 --> 01:41:08,069 parallels between global population and oil use. And it's 1798 01:41:08,069 --> 01:41:10,559 kind of like the old story, if you saved a penny a day, every 1799 01:41:10,559 --> 01:41:12,959 single day, you know, you'd be a millionaire, or like, you'd have 1800 01:41:12,959 --> 01:41:16,829 100 million within 20 years or whatever it was compounded 1801 01:41:16,829 --> 01:41:22,919 interest. And it's quite frightening when, when you see 1802 01:41:22,919 --> 01:41:28,379 the numbers on and forget about, you know, basically the numbers 1803 01:41:28,379 --> 01:41:33,089 double every 10 years, like the population is, you know, and it 1804 01:41:33,089 --> 01:41:36,209 goes very, very quickly. And then when you get exponential 1805 01:41:36,209 --> 01:41:39,359 growth, it's this hockey stick curve that just goes straight up 1806 01:41:39,359 --> 01:41:42,959 after a certain point. And what he's basically saying is where 1807 01:41:42,959 --> 01:41:46,109 it's two minutes to 12, and the next, you know, the next 1808 01:41:46,109 --> 01:41:48,329 doubling of everything is essentially going to kill us. 1809 01:41:48,599 --> 01:41:51,389 And what he goes into, is He literally says here, the 1810 01:41:51,389 --> 01:41:56,459 options, war disease, he says, he's going through the all the 1811 01:41:56,459 --> 01:42:00,209 all the options, yeah, famine. Exactly. Yeah, those are the 1812 01:42:00,239 --> 01:42:04,409 classics. And I well, I mean, so you obviously know what I'm 1813 01:42:04,409 --> 01:42:06,929 talking about. I mean, this is not just nutball stuff. This is 1814 01:42:06,929 --> 01:42:07,979 kind of realistic. 1815 01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:12,090 Yeah, it's been discussed a lot. In fact, probably more or less 1816 01:42:12,090 --> 01:42:12,510 true. 1817 01:42:12,900 --> 01:42:20,190 Well, Carter, used at Carter tried to explain how exponential 1818 01:42:20,190 --> 01:42:23,760 growth works. And he was right. You know, he said, we'll we'll 1819 01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:29,940 have tapped out our resources in four decades from now. Yeah, 1820 01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:30,780 I mean, it's 1821 01:42:31,050 --> 01:42:34,920 an even even if you're signed to find two more huge oil fields 1822 01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:40,530 like Alaska, and what is it, Indonesia or whatever, 1823 01:42:40,650 --> 01:42:42,720 you know, we got there's a, there's a lot and you know, what 1824 01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:44,760 the one No one wants to talk about, because it would like 1825 01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:47,580 change everybody's attitude. There's a whopper sitting 1826 01:42:47,580 --> 01:42:50,280 underneath Nebraska, as big as Saudi Arabia. 1827 01:42:50,580 --> 01:42:53,100 The evidence with this is the whole point, it doesn't matter 1828 01:42:53,100 --> 01:42:55,740 when you're looking at these exponential numbers where usage 1829 01:42:55,770 --> 01:42:59,250 increases continuously at like 6% per year. 1830 01:42:59,310 --> 01:43:02,400 Of course, that's too much to handle, you know, it popped, 1831 01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,340 apparently your pop the pop up, what he was saying is the 1832 01:43:05,340 --> 01:43:10,980 population growth of Boulder is at 3%. No, was it 6%. And they 1833 01:43:10,980 --> 01:43:15,030 brought it down like 4.8%. And his point was that we actually 1834 01:43:15,030 --> 01:43:19,350 send humanitarian aid into countries that have a population 1835 01:43:19,350 --> 01:43:25,020 growth over 2% Because it can actually it can kill you within 1836 01:43:25,230 --> 01:43:29,580 you wind up very quickly at the end of that curve with you each 1837 01:43:29,580 --> 01:43:34,680 got a square metre and that's it. I'm gonna send you that 1838 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:36,360 link. I looked at it now. She's like, wow, this 1839 01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:39,420 freaking me out? Yeah, send it out, blog it and it will talk 1840 01:43:39,420 --> 01:43:40,200 about it next week. 1841 01:43:40,290 --> 01:43:44,550 That's a good idea. Because if that if that if it really holds 1842 01:43:44,550 --> 01:43:47,430 true, and the numbers certainly make sense. But if the 1843 01:43:47,430 --> 01:43:50,280 underlying data he's comparing it to if it makes sense then 1844 01:43:51,060 --> 01:43:54,720 chip, man, who cares? Don't pay your mortgage. Don't move just 1845 01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:59,970 hang out. Tomorrow? Well, it's it could it's a lot of this 1846 01:43:59,970 --> 01:44:02,580 could be in our lifetime. 20 to 35. Nia 1847 01:44:02,580 --> 01:44:03,330 list 20 1848 01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:04,530 newlist. Was that? 1849 01:44:04,950 --> 01:44:05,820 NIH look 1850 01:44:05,820 --> 01:44:09,060 it up? No, no. Explain. It's a 1851 01:44:09,060 --> 01:44:11,040 person who just has a gloomy outlook. 1852 01:44:12,690 --> 01:44:16,380 Yeah. Oh, you mean a realist? I'm sorry. I misunderstood. 1853 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:21,150 Neil is that's what that's what a Neil is would say 1854 01:44:21,180 --> 01:44:24,540 exactly. Well, that's me. I'm gonna get business cards printed 1855 01:44:24,540 --> 01:44:25,770 up. Yeah. abuse 1856 01:44:25,770 --> 01:44:31,440 it as your title. How do I spell it? And I ah, I think Niha LIS T 1857 01:44:31,440 --> 01:44:32,130 i think and 1858 01:44:32,130 --> 01:44:36,390 i H L. L i s t i think is in annihilation. 1859 01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:40,590 Phil, I wasn't thinking in those terms. Bugs. Maybe there's a 1860 01:44:40,590 --> 01:44:41,220 route there. 1861 01:44:42,900 --> 01:44:47,700 Okay. All right, John. Well, good talking to you. As usual, 1862 01:44:47,730 --> 01:44:53,670 yes. And well, coming to you from Gitmo nation east over here 1863 01:44:53,670 --> 01:44:57,960 in the United Kingdom, where climate change is indeed in 1864 01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,990 effect. It's getting colder. I'm Adam curry. 1865 01:45:01,980 --> 01:45:04,650 And I'm John C. Dvorak in Silicon Valley north. Get mo 1866 01:45:04,650 --> 01:45:09,690 nation USA and it's getting it's kind of warmer here but it's 1867 01:45:09,690 --> 01:45:11,730 cold everyplace else. So I don't know. 1868 01:45:12,150 --> 01:45:14,940 We'll talk to you guys next week right here. Uh, no agenda
