And so I get more nation shirts by the way a 9 00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:35,460 T shirts or through selling him anymore. We've got a new design 10 00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:36,240 coming next week. 11 00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,790 Oh, okay, so they're now officially collector's items. 12 00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:41,760 Yeah, I don't even have one myself. 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,770 Well, you're probably not gonna get one now. 14 00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:48,600 Also, because the shipping is to the United Kingdom is a new Amir 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,980 $45 16 00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:53,730 It's ridiculous. Well, you know that you know that I had to ship 17 00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:58,650 off a good night. Oh, my editor said he had to send him some 18 00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:04,680 stuff in the day cost like five times more to ship it to the 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200 United I don't know why. I mean, yeah, I think I could have FedEx 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,070 that cheaper. Do you think that 21 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:12,840 has anything to do with import on textiles? Is that is that the 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,840 main reason? That must be some reason there's some it must be 23 00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:17,400 taxes, not just shipping? 24 00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:21,510 Oh, yeah. It must be nuts. You mentioned it makes nothing but 25 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:21,990 sense because 26 00:01:21,989 --> 00:01:25,109 there's lots of stuff that if you Patricia does this all the 27 00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:28,529 time she she used to order from linens and things oops, that 28 00:01:28,529 --> 00:01:32,519 that doesn't happen anymore. Now they're out of business. And 29 00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:33,989 they should be there Oh, look at all the because it's very hard 30 00:01:33,989 --> 00:01:37,469 to get sheets for a king size two metre 20 bed or whatever it 31 00:01:37,469 --> 00:01:42,089 is that we have. And I'm sure order it and then you know, be 32 00:01:42,089 --> 00:01:44,999 like really cheap. And then you know, it shows up as like, oh, 33 00:01:44,999 --> 00:01:51,719 you Oh, you know, 35 pounds on a linen set or something. So it 34 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:55,679 has to be something like that. Hey, man, I'm in the new place. 35 00:01:56,430 --> 00:02:00,480 Oh, you are do you have the heavy new collection?

And for a the first 41 00:02:21,630 --> 00:02:27,000 long time all my routing all my connections are actual wires. 42 00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:30,660 You sound good. 43 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,980 Thank you.

I was 52 00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:04,410 nothing else. 53 00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:10,620 It'll hit me in a second. It's an MX l 2010. I've no idea who 54 00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:16,620 makes it kind of looks like you know it's a studio mic. It looks 55 00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:20,070 like it's a condenser by the way. So it needs it needs 56 00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:27,000 external power. And I'm running it through my Yamaha mg 12 MG 57 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,870 one to four CX mixer. The cool thing though, is I've got good 58 00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:34,470 processing now. So I've really enhanced the Skype connection 59 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:38,370 you sound really really much better than you've ever sounded 60 00:03:38,370 --> 00:03:40,050 on the on the broadcast right now. 61 00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:44,520 Hold on a second. I'm typing this code in here see if there's 62 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:44,940 any. 63 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,730 So I'm running you I'm running 64 00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:49,860 your next two are you citizen MX 65 00:03:52,320 --> 00:04:00,870 Oh, MX l 2010. MX l and x l Mike X ray Lima so I'm running you 66 00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:03,990 through a what is martial arts and martial 67 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,640 arts how it looks like or no I could harmony it could be MX 68 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,220 it's an MX l 69 00:04:11,850 --> 00:04:14,940 Exactly. For RadioShack 70 00:04:15,210 --> 00:04:18,150 the MX microphones products microphones MX L 71 00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:21,870 so I'm running you through a compressor limiter gate and an 72 00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:22,830 affix 73 00:04:24,090 --> 00:04:28,500 to a FX yeah okay, 74 00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:32,340 the big bottom a FX yeah the big bottom Yeah, big bottom. 75 00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:35,340 You have one of those but I never hooked it up. 76 00:04:35,699 --> 00:04:37,979 You don't have to because I've hooked it up on my end it sounds 77 00:04:37,979 --> 00:04:43,169 beautiful. And so and we've got the nice cast running now i i 78 00:04:43,169 --> 00:04:47,249 was all ready to hook in calls. Just so you know I actually have 79 00:04:47,249 --> 00:04:50,459 Skype running on a separate machine now. So it's using its 80 00:04:50,459 --> 00:04:53,639 separate audio in and out and that's you know that is that's 81 00:04:53,669 --> 00:04:55,889 actually the preferable way to set it up so you don't have all 82 00:04:55,889 --> 00:05:00,569 this crap jacked in virtually. And I wanted to set up a Um, my 83 00:05:00,569 --> 00:05:04,259 SIP client gizmo so I could dial into the phone bridge so we 84 00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:09,269 could take calls. And so about 45 minutes before we started, I 85 00:05:09,689 --> 00:05:15,179 set it up and very typical problem with Voice over IP. And 86 00:05:15,179 --> 00:05:18,089 of course, this is on the BT line who have I'm sure they have 87 00:05:18,089 --> 00:05:21,929 their own, they had their own VoIP solution they want to sell. 88 00:05:22,769 --> 00:05:27,779 And when you call a number, you can hear what's coming in, but 89 00:05:27,779 --> 00:05:30,209 they can't hear you. And that's because all the ports or the 90 00:05:30,209 --> 00:05:33,659 network address translation is messed up. And so I gotta go and 91 00:05:33,659 --> 00:05:37,109 configure the hub. Right, you know, we'll do that next week. 92 00:05:37,710 --> 00:05:42,450 So the MX l Mike's a cheapy. Really? Yeah. 169 bucks on 93 00:05:42,450 --> 00:05:43,410 Amazon. Yeah. 94 00:05:44,580 --> 00:05:45,930 Sounds good for a cheapy. 95 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,350 Yeah. Does it sound good? Yeah. Sounds as good as you do with 96 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:55,200 that Lavell ear hanging scotch tape, 97 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,980 or the gaffer tape to my forehead. So it's positioned 98 00:05:59,010 --> 00:05:59,760 ideally. 99 00:06:01,530 --> 00:06:03,900 So it's a funny idea for a photo? 100 00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:08,190 No, not really. Happy New Year, John. Well, Happy 101 00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:11,490 New Year to you. How's things going? I'm doing good. Alright. 102 00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:13,710 Someone says it's going back there in the UK. How's the 103 00:06:13,710 --> 00:06:15,180 Biohazard Boxing Day go? 104 00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:19,110 Well, Boxing Day is, you know, as you pointed out, on the last 105 00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:23,430 show, it was very filled with boxes for us. 106 00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:29,220 To the stock market went up, and I have one of the listeners 107 00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:31,440 says, oh, you should talk about it, you know, talk about the 108 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,090 stock market, what do you think 109 00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:38,220 it went up significantly didn't go up 290 points, or 260, or 110 00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:41,670 something where I end the day before, it was also up 150 It 111 00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:42,660 was that up a couple of 112 00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:47,400 days before the end of the year. And then it was up on the field 113 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,960 one day, we were open on low volume and the which of course 114 00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:55,260 leads you there's a there's a thing that there's kind of a 115 00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:58,140 piece of superstition that seems to come through a lot, which is 116 00:06:58,140 --> 00:07:00,390 if the market goes up in January, then the whole year 117 00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:03,570 reflects that it keeps going up. And as the market goes down in 118 00:07:03,570 --> 00:07:08,670 January, the market just goes down. And so it seems to me that 119 00:07:08,670 --> 00:07:12,270 it's up a little started January up just now it's 9000 the 120 00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:16,080 likelihood of it going up more by the end of the month. So it 121 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,890 has an upward trend by the end of January seems to be nil. And 122 00:07:19,890 --> 00:07:22,830 so I can't imagine that it's gonna but it might but it could 123 00:07:22,830 --> 00:07:26,580 either be same you know 9000 At the end of the month will go 124 00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,910 down which seems more likely. And I don't know maybe rebar 125 00:07:29,910 --> 00:07:33,090 will get gets it it'll go flying. Who knows? Well, you did 126 00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:35,700 you did predict that. Yeah, yeah. 127 00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:39,840 wild wild swings Hold on. People are saying that we sound like 128 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,900 crap on the stream that we're over modulated on I turned it 129 00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:46,050 down so if you can twitter and let me know if it sounds better 130 00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:49,980 now. That'd be appreciated. I you know this 131 00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:54,300 feedback loop with this with the Twitter you guys see you can't 132 00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:56,880 do that with the real radio. Guy sounds like 133 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,620 shit. You sound crappy. Turn it down. Oh 134 00:08:05,190 --> 00:08:08,850 well, hopefully we're recording it in in high fidelity. So you 135 00:08:08,850 --> 00:08:13,290 can turn it off and listen to it later but the feedback is good. 136 00:08:13,290 --> 00:08:13,350 I 137 00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:16,590 guess I got busted because I did so I guess I must have said just 138 00:08:16,590 --> 00:08:22,590 casually that oil was going to 200 Yeah, dude. And some guy 139 00:08:22,590 --> 00:08:26,520 like busted me for he said you always changing your mind. I 140 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,590 made the point and I'm a bandwagon jumper. I'm talking 141 00:08:28,590 --> 00:08:36,030 about sports, mostly. Huge. I'm a huge fan of the Utah people 142 00:08:36,030 --> 00:08:43,230 watch football. I think that's hilarious. Anyway, so I even 143 00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:45,540 though I never invested. I mean, I was short oil. 144 00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:48,030 Well, let's the whole world. Let's just Let's just take let's 145 00:08:48,030 --> 00:08:50,580 just take it back one step because it's a little confusing. 146 00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:53,790 We got what actually I've received a lot of emails from 147 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,350 Dvorak fans who are saying, Wow, man, you know, you're kind of 148 00:08:58,350 --> 00:09:03,120 right about, in fact, your East Coast Research Division. You 149 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,110 know, I'm referring to Carrie Lutz. He just said, please refer 150 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:12,780 to me as the East Coast. Please don't mention my name. He sent 151 00:09:12,780 --> 00:09:14,940 me a nice long email. I said, Wow, man, you know, you're 152 00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:21,270 absolutely right. And John is so wrong. But what? Well, so here's 153 00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:23,490 the thing. So there was another person who emailed us and said, 154 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,900 Oh, you know, you, you really, Dvorak is is a what do you call 155 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,500 it a bandwagon jumper? And he was all talking about $200 156 00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:34,800 barrel oil and then you on email said no, I didn't prove it. 157 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,530 Prove It, prove it, find the episode prove it, prove it. 158 00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:43,260 And so I guess some some complete nut ball decided to 159 00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:47,940 listen to all these episodes to find the one loan example of my 160 00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:50,310 suggesting that it could go to 200 161 00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:55,200 Yeah, here it is. And meanwhile, the price of oil is $126 a 162 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,430 barrel. I'm still thinking before the end of the year, baby 163 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:59,970 200 164 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,760 I'm thinking 200 Oh, there it is. I was just agreeing with you 165 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,760 well, I'd be if you follow the next episode of the show, I was 166 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,960 getting more sceptical. 167 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:22,710 Yeah, but it's about the bandwagon jumping thing. And I'm 168 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:24,990 amazed that people are only now just figuring this out. 169 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,740 Well, you know, things that you get on the bandwagon it's not a 170 00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:32,670 bad thing. I'm I'm you know, I use your bomb within 171 00:10:37,530 --> 00:10:42,390 Oh, man, there's so here's the news out of the United Kingdom. 172 00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:48,450 Big protests, of course, around Europe at Israeli embassies 173 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:54,360 from, you know, of course, regarding the the huge conflict 174 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,700 now in the Gaza Strip. And we have two celebrities, two 175 00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,130 celebrities who have stood up and saying we're not taking it 176 00:11:02,130 --> 00:11:06,720 anymore. You want to wager a guess as to which two superstar 177 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,980 celebrities they already think Amy Winehouse? She's got enough 178 00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:11,970 of her own problems. 179 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,610 Noon No no, no. 180 00:11:15,599 --> 00:11:17,999 To celebrities?

Bianca Jagger and Annie Lennox. 185 00:11:40,410 --> 00:11:43,830 Bianca Jagger and Annie What is this? The hasn't been club? I'm 186 00:11:43,830 --> 00:11:49,230 telling you man. Jagger. Yeah. Wow. I haven't heard that name 187 00:11:49,230 --> 00:11:50,040 for 10 years. 188 00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:52,980 But it's pathetic that that's the only people who are you 189 00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:56,610 know, up in arms about this about this tragedy that's taking 190 00:11:56,610 --> 00:12:00,240 place. Because it really is. This is messed up. And 191 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:06,120 meanwhile, of course, my my wife Patricia's sisters here. Yvonne 192 00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:08,880 has been great helping us unpack for the past week and she's been 193 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,970 fantastic. But the two of them will sit down reading the paper 194 00:12:11,970 --> 00:12:15,450 and like, Oh, it's so you know, Jett Travolta, you know, John 195 00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:19,020 Travolta son died, tragically seizure hit his head on the 196 00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:22,050 bathtub, I think which is terrible. But you know, and then 197 00:12:22,050 --> 00:12:25,920 just like, Oh, dude, you know, there's like 100 kids who are 198 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,070 dead and still lying underneath the rubble in the Gaza Strip. 199 00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:32,970 You know, how can you obsess about Jett Travolta? Like, well, 200 00:12:32,970 --> 00:12:33,900 at least we know him. 201 00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:39,630 Yeah, well, did they know him? 202 00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,480 Well, because they know John Travolta, you know, I'm just 203 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,720 saying. Yeah, they don't know what's closer to home. Yeah. 204 00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:51,480 Think Local act global, or something. Right, Annie? At 205 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:51,930 global 206 00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:54,990 Think Local. I'm not sure what it means. Talking about what 207 00:12:54,990 --> 00:12:57,870 that means. This reminds me of another topic. So probably going 208 00:12:57,870 --> 00:13:01,500 to jump around a little bit today. That's all right. Let me 209 00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:06,810 find this. I had my course I can't find it when I want. My 210 00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:09,690 daughter has been working on this paper and she's under she's 211 00:13:09,690 --> 00:13:12,390 apparently using this computer. And 212 00:13:13,770 --> 00:13:16,170 don't you hate that when the kids use your computer and 213 00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:19,500 this is the computer you should have purchased isn't like normal 214 00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:20,550 writing computer still 215 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,440 doesn't she have her own computer and you have a laptop 216 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,490 or something that you can use, 217 00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:25,830 she makes this machine a lot. So 218 00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:28,380 you'll wind up giving it to her eventually. 219 00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:32,220 I might because I have another machine that just I just got 220 00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:39,660 from the MPC noise the silent PC folks in Vancouver, Washington, 221 00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:42,300 they have no machine from them just just a great way go ahead, 222 00:13:42,810 --> 00:13:46,560 just a plug accompany the if anybody's buying, you know, 223 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,350 you're gonna use the same price you'd pay for a Dell or anything 224 00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:51,720 else maybe a little more because you're gonna get some better 225 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,510 components. But these guys it's like a custom. It's like a hot 226 00:13:54,510 --> 00:13:58,650 rod shop in the olden days, you could take your car to a rotten 227 00:13:58,650 --> 00:14:02,700 custom shop and they you know, they fix it up, you know, put 228 00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:07,890 some, you know, they just modify it. And soup it up. That's the 229 00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:13,050 word. So these guys build these machines that are architected, 230 00:14:13,050 --> 00:14:15,060 they use old mostly standard components but they've 231 00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:17,940 redesigned a lot of the stuff in the architect so that you have 232 00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:22,020 like a machine like a quad core you know killer machine with a 233 00:14:22,050 --> 00:14:26,790 with a good graphics system in it. I have more with dual SLI, 234 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:33,030 you know invidious stuff. dead silent. Do dead silent. I mean 235 00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:36,600 dead silent. You have to actually you don't even know you 236 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,270 can even when you turn it off, there's no evidence. You have to 237 00:14:39,270 --> 00:14:43,290 look at it to see if the fans stopped. And how do they do 238 00:14:43,290 --> 00:14:47,670 that? They The thing is, they got to the gut the air going 239 00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:53,280 through a certain way. And they have big giant fans because you 240 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,180 can turn those and move more air with less noise. And they're 241 00:14:57,180 --> 00:15:01,140 using some Antec cases. And it's just Just the engineering is 242 00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:03,330 what it is. And then he got a lot of soundproofing in there. 243 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,840 Excellent. So you get this machine, it's the same price 244 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,710 you'd pay for any other machine. It was dead silent. So I mean, 245 00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:14,160 it's on it's very nice because I finally sick of these I do what 246 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,250 set me off was the number of years ago AMD had the one shot 247 00:15:20,250 --> 00:15:22,680 one of their new chips with some of the rather they sent me a 248 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,800 machine. And He does this every once awhile, they send out these 249 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,980 machines, sample machines, so you can look at their chips, 250 00:15:29,010 --> 00:15:29,910 you send them back. 251 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,030 Generally they become more worthless and over time and so 252 00:15:36,030 --> 00:15:38,730 you don't send them back usually hear me you can't if you want. 253 00:15:39,930 --> 00:15:43,920 They're not expecting him back. But anyway, the you turn this 254 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,540 thing on it, it sounds like you're at the Moffett Field jet 255 00:15:48,570 --> 00:15:54,360 testing centre. Unbelievable. I mean, just holy yummy. Sounds 256 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,740 like the world was coming to an end. And I said, this is 257 00:15:58,740 --> 00:16:02,580 ridiculous. These machines are too noisy. And so I tracked 258 00:16:02,580 --> 00:16:06,180 these guys down. There was a plug for them. So 259 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,980 did you see that? Someone loaded Android onto a netbook or real 260 00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:16,950 really? Yeah, I told you that was coming. I've also found that 261 00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:19,020 there are there's a whole community of people who are 262 00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:23,760 loading Mac OSX onto os 10 on to netbooks 263 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,280 Yeah, Apple's got some mechanism to brick those off. No doubt but 264 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,570 still, it's pretty cool. Apparently the there's one what 265 00:16:33,570 --> 00:16:36,420 is the net book it's like the when I or some things that sound 266 00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:36,990 familiar. 267 00:16:38,220 --> 00:16:42,510 I don't know. When I made this couple of my kids bring the E 268 00:16:42,510 --> 00:16:47,640 PCs very memorable. I think HPs is the HP 100 HP 1000 is which 269 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,690 is kind of neat. I saw one at Costco and played around with it 270 00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:54,300 for a little while. I could use that machine 271 00:16:55,770 --> 00:16:58,350 the keys are a little the keys are a little bit small but man 272 00:16:58,350 --> 00:17:03,120 the portability and if it actually ran os 10 I think I 273 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,080 would go for that 274 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,220 yeah it said the keys are just said but not so much that you 275 00:17:08,220 --> 00:17:14,070 can't type on it and Mr like a phone me back to my daughter's 276 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,930 she's working on this thing for a school and on the wall world's 277 00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:22,080 water crisis no way they always want to get these kids involved. 278 00:17:22,530 --> 00:17:27,900 So So I ran into this one thing on on the browser her that she's 279 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,390 has a million tabs open with a bunch of different things about 280 00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:35,250 water. But this is unbelievable that went into this one because 281 00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:38,400 it's almost as though you know you can't win or it's like as 282 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,240 though you know the reactor definition of a reactionary 283 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,900 which always like to give the right wing that Oh, reactionary, 284 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,630 the true definition reactionary someone was to go back in time. 285 00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:51,900 And it seems to me there's that the American left, or the 286 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,590 Liberals, they want to go back in time to a day when there was 287 00:17:55,590 --> 00:18:00,330 no distribution. There was no roads. Everyone walked and rode 288 00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:04,080 bicycles and this kind of idealistic thing. And so 289 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,550 everything that does remotely modern is somehow contributing 290 00:18:08,550 --> 00:18:12,090 to you know, everything that's going wrong. Now, let me just 291 00:18:12,090 --> 00:18:16,380 read you this. This is from the trout TR o u w daily. Okay, the 292 00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:17,010 Netherlands. 293 00:18:18,450 --> 00:18:24,930 Trout, tr o u WV trial trial. Pro, I believe was started as a 294 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,540 underground resistance newspaper in World War Two, I think, in 295 00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:31,020 Amsterdam. 296 00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:38,910 Here we go hydro power disaster for global warming. large dams 297 00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:41,730 have dramatic consequences. Ecosystems are destroyed and 298 00:18:41,730 --> 00:18:44,610 numerous people are made homeless, often without adequate 299 00:18:44,610 --> 00:18:48,750 resettlement. But it is yet little known that large scale 300 00:18:48,750 --> 00:18:52,860 hydro electricity is a major contributor to global global 301 00:18:52,860 --> 00:18:57,000 warming. The reservoirs could despite their clean image be 302 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,410 even more devastating for our climate and fossil fuel plants. 303 00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:06,330 A few years ago, I spent a minute it goes on and on. And 304 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,730 now I'm thinking two things one is this guy serious. Or and by 305 00:19:11,730 --> 00:19:14,550 the way, let me go to two graphs or three graphs. This is mega 306 00:19:14,580 --> 00:19:18,150 mega hydro has an strobus record, the World Commission on 307 00:19:18,150 --> 00:19:24,360 dams, WC D, consisting of experts, opposition and industry 308 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,670 was installed to produce an independent review of large 309 00:19:26,670 --> 00:19:30,810 dams, the WC D estimates in 2000, that 40 to 80 million 310 00:19:30,810 --> 00:19:35,130 people have been displaced worldwide 80 million. Anyway, 311 00:19:35,130 --> 00:19:38,310 the seems likely, I mean, just the number doesn't sound right. 312 00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:42,990 Maybe in China, whatever the case is, this could have been, 313 00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:46,680 you know, this could be a piece of propaganda put out by the oil 314 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,130 industry, obviously to you know, keep people on the right track 315 00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:54,150 using fossil fuel. But I don't think so I think this is 316 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:59,100 actually just some typical reactionary in the sense of 317 00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:02,160 let's you know, we Can't do anything well, let's just cut 318 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,220 you know, cover ourselves and put ourselves in the cave 319 00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:07,140 somewhere and, and write it out. 320 00:20:07,170 --> 00:20:11,910 Yeah, it's not the hydro electric power, it's bovine 321 00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:13,530 flatulence, flatulence. 322 00:20:13,589 --> 00:20:16,139 Oh, that's the cloud. So let's see the thing that I think to me 323 00:20:16,409 --> 00:20:20,399 that this all this whole global warming thing always boils down 324 00:20:20,399 --> 00:20:26,609 to is veganism. It's, it's at some point, you don't care what 325 00:20:26,609 --> 00:20:28,829 nut ball you're watching, if you're watching the Green 326 00:20:28,829 --> 00:20:32,069 Planet, they have it hold net channel now on the Dish Network 327 00:20:32,069 --> 00:20:36,419 and elsewhere called green. And it's just a bunch of horrible 328 00:20:36,419 --> 00:20:40,019 shows that are self serving, except emeralds is actually 329 00:20:40,019 --> 00:20:42,989 pretty good because he's still just cooking. You know, emerald 330 00:20:42,989 --> 00:20:48,449 green, get it? And then they have a guy who does I got a disk 331 00:20:48,449 --> 00:20:50,549 for you, I'll send you with a couple of these shows on it just 332 00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:50,819 like 333 00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:53,790 I'm just like all the other ones you sent me here. But 334 00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:58,679 the point at some point always becomes vegetarianism. I mean, 335 00:20:58,709 --> 00:21:01,499 there's always related there's always a vegetarian angle and 336 00:21:01,499 --> 00:21:05,069 they always did it gets kind of to veganism. And let's get rid 337 00:21:05,069 --> 00:21:10,859 of the herds of cattle and let's just eat you know, oats that's 338 00:21:11,819 --> 00:21:15,539 always that element. I've never seen anybody that doesn't have 339 00:21:15,539 --> 00:21:18,389 that element was eat dirt and chalk. They're behind the whole 340 00:21:18,389 --> 00:21:22,169 thing PETA, the vegans and you know the crackpots you know 341 00:21:22,169 --> 00:21:22,859 foods the whole 342 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,910 I gotta tell you I don't I don't talk bad about PETA at all 343 00:21:26,910 --> 00:21:32,760 because those people frightened me to death those are the ones 344 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,460 that want to wind up actually killing you know, I'm very 345 00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:39,720 afraid of a really radical act and book I love animals but 346 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,080 there are some very very radical elements out there in the animal 347 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,940 activism activism space. And and they do they kill people. 348 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:53,609 Yeah, the workers people are meaningless crap. Every 349 00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:57,539 day, it's all about the animals. So along the lines of global 350 00:21:57,539 --> 00:22:01,469 warming, you want to hear some earth shattering news. What 351 00:22:03,689 --> 00:22:08,129 scientists from the United Nations, IPCC have now 352 00:22:08,129 --> 00:22:10,499 determined that the earth will be cooling for the next three 353 00:22:10,499 --> 00:22:13,439 decades, that is the same people that brought you global warming, 354 00:22:13,589 --> 00:22:17,399 now known as climate change, quote, addressing the Washington 355 00:22:17,399 --> 00:22:20,549 policy policymakers in Seattle, Washington, Dr. Don Easterbrook 356 00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:25,679 said the shifting of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. That's PDO 357 00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:29,969 for short, from its warm mode to its cool mode, virtually assures 358 00:22:29,999 --> 00:22:33,929 global cooling for the next 25 to 30 years. And means the 359 00:22:33,929 --> 00:22:37,229 global warming of the past 30 years is over the announcement 360 00:22:37,229 --> 00:22:42,269 by Yes, the announcement by NASA that the PDO that's the Pacific 361 00:22:42,269 --> 00:22:46,139 Decadal Oscillation has shifted from its warm mode to its cool 362 00:22:46,139 --> 00:22:49,349 mode is right on schedule, as predicted by past climate and 363 00:22:49,349 --> 00:22:53,129 PDO changes and in the some references, and is not an oddity 364 00:22:53,129 --> 00:22:56,339 superimposed upon and masking the predicted severe warming by 365 00:22:56,339 --> 00:23:00,089 the IPCC. This has significant implications for the future, and 366 00:23:00,089 --> 00:23:02,999 indicates that the IPCC climate models were wrong in their 367 00:23:02,999 --> 00:23:05,669 prediction of global temperatures soaring one degree 368 00:23:05,669 --> 00:23:08,309 Fahrenheit per decade for the rest of the century. But that it 369 00:23:10,859 --> 00:23:13,139 doesn't matter. No one else to hear about it, John, it doesn't 370 00:23:13,139 --> 00:23:17,459 matter. Well, I'm blogging it. That to me, no one else will 371 00:23:17,459 --> 00:23:18,269 hear about it. 372 00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:24,449 Being so the link, it's kidding me. Oh, of course. When did that 373 00:23:24,449 --> 00:23:28,499 come out? These guys are just unbelievable. 374 00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:33,240 11 December 7, actually, is when this came out 375 00:23:33,239 --> 00:23:36,359 came out December 7, and that we haven't and it hasn't been. I 376 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,439 didn't I didn't catch 377 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,960 it until last fall. But this is this whole shifting of the poles 378 00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:47,130 and the solar winds and the diminishing of the magnetism of 379 00:23:47,130 --> 00:23:54,750 the poles. All of this goes back to 2002. So this is before Al 380 00:23:54,750 --> 00:24:00,420 Gore's Inconvenient Truth at NASA and, and other scientists 381 00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:04,080 were saying oh, this will change the climate. It could make it 382 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,890 warmer or cooler. You know, but they were literally saying it's 383 00:24:07,890 --> 00:24:12,150 that that is the cause not manmade it's it's all over the 384 00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:16,290 news now. It's it's mainstream publications just now. It's no 385 00:24:16,290 --> 00:24:19,560 one's doing anything with it. Yeah, maybe but we're still all 386 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,430 gonna die if we don't stop our cows from farting and stop 387 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,030 generating dollars from the ocean. Stop eating meat. Yeah, 388 00:24:27,779 --> 00:24:30,779 that's basically where it boils down to stop eating meat. 389 00:24:31,439 --> 00:24:33,869 Because there are animals I mean, this is people of course, 390 00:24:33,869 --> 00:24:38,879 are anthropomorphize the, you know, the all animals from my 391 00:24:38,879 --> 00:24:41,039 wife has it there is because there was too many Disney 392 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:43,769 cartoons with all these talking animals. 393 00:24:45,450 --> 00:24:49,290 Usually sounding a lot like Eddie Murphy. Or they sound like 394 00:24:49,290 --> 00:24:53,040 this sometimes. I'll speaking of Mimi has as she mentioned, 395 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,180 because she's an earthquake, not right she She tracks the USGS 396 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,490 website or US GCS, whatever it is. 397 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,130 cuz he hasn't said anything to me about the Yellowstone thing, 398 00:25:02,130 --> 00:25:02,280 which 399 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,900 is what you're gonna bring. That's exactly what's gonna 400 00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:07,740 bring up. Yeah, nothing at all. No, I don't know why, for those 401 00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:08,010 of you 402 00:25:08,069 --> 00:25:10,709 that think she's just finished her spice book, which I'm in the 403 00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:11,699 process of editing. 404 00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:14,370 She's a Spice Girl now. Well, 405 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,450 you should tell her that it's hilarious. I never thought 406 00:25:18,450 --> 00:25:23,220 that's a good joke. So, anyway, so the spice book is done. So 407 00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:27,480 we'll get that out in the next. Hopefully, so 408 00:25:27,479 --> 00:25:31,679 people are being are being warned to not go to Yellowstone. 409 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,009 Oh, but it was that bad. Yeah, 410 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:38,099 they've they have about 100 earthquakes a day now at 411 00:25:38,099 --> 00:25:38,819 Yellowstone. 412 00:25:39,390 --> 00:25:44,220 Yeah, I heard that. And trim blurs. That's not good. Now 413 00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:47,610 that's extremely bad. Yellowstone is one of the great 414 00:25:47,610 --> 00:25:52,200 giant calderas. I mean, it's it's the size of Krakatoa. And 415 00:25:52,770 --> 00:25:57,060 it's one of the three or four biggest Krakatoa they go off. We 416 00:25:57,060 --> 00:25:59,040 have serious issues. Yeah, 417 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:02,969 I mean, this could go all the way to the from go up to Mount 418 00:26:02,969 --> 00:26:05,039 St. Helens. I mean, this thing is huge, right? 419 00:26:05,699 --> 00:26:09,809 It's huge. It's a matter of just about the size of it is about 420 00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:13,349 the quarter of the size of the state of Wyoming. And if it went 421 00:26:13,349 --> 00:26:17,009 off, it would the problem is when it goes off, it's a it's a 422 00:26:17,009 --> 00:26:20,639 mega volcano, which is the kind that ends up you know, killing 423 00:26:20,639 --> 00:26:22,379 like 90% of the life on Earth. Yeah, 424 00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,920 because it essentially it's fusion into the atmosphere, the 425 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,930 sun is blocked, and then we all die. 426 00:26:29,010 --> 00:26:32,340 Well, we don't all die. Well. What do you 427 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,890 just you in America? 428 00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:39,030 No, actually, it would probably win if it went off because of 429 00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:42,360 the trade winds it would blow most of the crap to the east. 430 00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:47,580 And people on the extreme west coast would have a something of 431 00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:51,720 a chance but probably not much of one because I think the 432 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,170 southern hemisphere if I'm not mistaken, doesn't the mix is 433 00:26:55,170 --> 00:26:57,510 such that you could probably might be able to move to Brazil 434 00:26:57,870 --> 00:27:00,390 and eke out a living during the food riots. 435 00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:03,180 Exactly. Anyway, this 436 00:27:03,179 --> 00:27:07,739 wouldn't be a good thing. There's a correction is there 437 00:27:07,769 --> 00:27:10,379 is there any mainstream reporting on that in the States 438 00:27:10,379 --> 00:27:11,549 or is this another one of these 439 00:27:11,999 --> 00:27:15,179 get crops up but it's not like anybody's you know, it's not 440 00:27:15,179 --> 00:27:20,459 like the the Art Bell, you know, overnight, do whatever that 441 00:27:20,459 --> 00:27:23,849 shows called the overnight whatever it is, you know, they 442 00:27:24,299 --> 00:27:30,269 have all these crackpots on. It's not as though it's picked 443 00:27:30,269 --> 00:27:33,539 up. I mean, that group is into it. You know, there's this group 444 00:27:33,539 --> 00:27:41,759 of worrywarts. The general public had think is oblivious, 445 00:27:41,879 --> 00:27:44,459 oblivious, oblivious for the fact that you know, we don't 446 00:27:44,459 --> 00:27:48,449 have an educated population anymore. And they don't, they 447 00:27:48,449 --> 00:27:50,999 can't keep up with anything except, you know, I'm sure John 448 00:27:50,999 --> 00:27:54,089 Travolta's. Yeah, the John Travolta, everyone, and that's 449 00:27:54,089 --> 00:27:54,479 about it. 450 00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:58,560 Exactly. And so another thing that happened that I also looked 451 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,490 into which became very interesting to me, is the leap 452 00:28:02,490 --> 00:28:08,550 second break at breaking the 30 gigabyte Zune mp3 players. And 453 00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:14,280 it's not so much about the about Microsoft and Zune and all that 454 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,280 and you know, whatever is just the you know, that was a an 455 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,780 unanticipated programming mistake. What was interesting is 456 00:28:21,810 --> 00:28:27,600 how these leap seconds came to be. The US Navy started this in 457 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:34,560 1972. And the reason why is to compensate for the irregular 458 00:28:34,590 --> 00:28:39,540 rotation of the Earth to keep you know, Earth time or solar 459 00:28:39,540 --> 00:28:43,290 time, I guess we call it in sync with atomic time, but it's willy 460 00:28:43,290 --> 00:28:46,890 nilly. So the last time they did it was 2005. They didn't expect 461 00:28:46,890 --> 00:28:51,420 to insert a leap second until 2010. So they just said oh, we 462 00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:53,610 should do it this year based upon I guess, you know, 463 00:28:53,610 --> 00:28:56,250 someone's sitting there looking at the Earth rotation counting 464 00:28:56,250 --> 00:29:00,960 it out. But this just goes to show when you fuck with time, 465 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,990 man, you can screw up a lot of shit in the world and this time 466 00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:04,200 it was 467 00:29:04,199 --> 00:29:06,719 just a man how well what is illipe second got to do with 468 00:29:06,749 --> 00:29:08,489 breaking the Zune up 469 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:18,210 because on December 31 It had one more day to go. And based 470 00:29:18,210 --> 00:29:22,200 upon the internal clock, I guess it it has some kind of clock 471 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,860 that is 472 00:29:23,130 --> 00:29:26,460 synced on them. This is not working for that micro 473 00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:29,340 This is what Microsoft themselves posted. They said 474 00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:33,630 this is what had their excuse. I believe that yeah, because 475 00:29:33,630 --> 00:29:36,690 basically you get an extra second and so it didn't know 476 00:29:36,690 --> 00:29:38,910 what to do on the rollover and that's why it happened the 477 00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:41,760 minute it saw that this next day would have you know whatever the 478 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,890 equivalent is of 24 hours plus one second in seconds and that 479 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:53,100 that basically put it into an infinite loop on on boot up, but 480 00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:56,070 I don't care I mean people have the Zune should be shot anyway, 481 00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:57,540 of what I'm what I'm interested 482 00:29:57,539 --> 00:30:00,929 in the quality of the Zune sound is better than the iPod Yeah, 483 00:30:00,929 --> 00:30:01,379 whatever. 484 00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:06,029 But this this messing around with this same thing with 485 00:30:06,029 --> 00:30:08,969 daylight savings time it bugs me, it bugs me that word that 486 00:30:08,969 --> 00:30:12,539 we're doing this stuff it had there's no energy efficiency. 487 00:30:12,749 --> 00:30:16,259 It's you know, that's all offset by air conditioning in the 488 00:30:16,259 --> 00:30:19,439 summer and you know extra heating in winter. It's all it's 489 00:30:19,469 --> 00:30:24,119 there's got to be some evil scheme behind this time change 490 00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,299 and adding leap seconds it just it just doesn't sit right with 491 00:30:27,299 --> 00:30:32,309 me. All right, don't you? Don't you? Don't you have any 492 00:30:32,339 --> 00:30:35,669 information on that did once you were a time ologists at one 493 00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:36,479 point in your career? 494 00:30:36,809 --> 00:30:39,839 I was never a time ologists I've always wanted to be 495 00:30:42,510 --> 00:30:43,380 I 496 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,380 trying to find something I here's the Yellowstone Visitor 497 00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:49,560 Centre. There's nothing here about anything. 498 00:30:50,819 --> 00:30:56,069 Now there's a web page, I have a web page for you. Where is it? 499 00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:59,370 That says that they don't want people going there? I think 500 00:30:59,370 --> 00:31:01,530 now's the time to go. There's nothing more thrilling their 501 00:31:01,530 --> 00:31:02,370 little shakers? 502 00:31:04,410 --> 00:31:08,400 Well, right now they have volcano alert level normal 503 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:13,380 activation colour code green. But that was an update from 504 00:31:13,380 --> 00:31:22,470 yesterday. It's volcano. That's the USGS USGS site. 505 00:31:28,349 --> 00:31:30,029 I just don't think it's a good idea to go. 506 00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:34,199 No, I think it's now's the time to like well, JIRA tickets it 507 00:31:35,009 --> 00:31:37,649 for why here's here. Here's the reason, the place is always 508 00:31:37,649 --> 00:31:40,319 crowded. Everyone's going to be scared off. So the place will be 509 00:31:40,349 --> 00:31:42,359 really dead empty, which is great. 510 00:31:42,390 --> 00:31:44,850 I doubt it. I think there's a lot of people who are going to 511 00:31:44,850 --> 00:31:46,830 go exactly for the reason you just outlined. 512 00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:49,530 Well, I could be wrong. But generally speaking, I think 513 00:31:49,530 --> 00:31:53,490 people are more, you know, now you I mean, it sounds, it sounds 514 00:31:53,490 --> 00:31:55,620 good on paper what you said, but the fact of the matter is, most 515 00:31:55,620 --> 00:31:58,770 people were very skittish. I was watching this thing on 60 516 00:31:58,770 --> 00:32:01,200 minutes, a couple of weeks ago, there's the word show that had 517 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,460 the explanation of the TSA and the guard heads at TSA. And the 518 00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:07,770 guy just he just don't worry, you know, he's just worrying, 519 00:32:07,770 --> 00:32:10,410 oh, they're out to kill us or want to kill us. We're at war. 520 00:32:11,310 --> 00:32:14,010 And I'm thinking where would you know, where's the? What kind of 521 00:32:14,010 --> 00:32:16,590 a war is this? I mean, we say they killed a bunch of people, 522 00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:20,520 you know, a decade ago. And then now we're, you know, waiting for 523 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,430 me, this is a very poorly. You know, this is not this is not 524 00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:26,850 like you're losing millions of people during the World War Two. 525 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,300 I mean, this is building with these kids, you see, there seems 526 00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:35,730 to be a level of fear. That is a hand wringing, you don't think 527 00:32:35,730 --> 00:32:39,630 of developers think? So they've got a bunch of hand ringers that 528 00:32:39,630 --> 00:32:41,940 are frayed of their own shadow. This is the you know, the 529 00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:45,030 Americans that used to be the, you know, the leaders. And now 530 00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:48,840 they're all frightened. And so I don't think they would be going 531 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,700 to Yellowstone. I think most people weren't I mean, it'd be 532 00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:51,270 Oh, it's 533 00:32:51,270 --> 00:32:54,780 not terrorism. We're fearless. We're very afraid. 534 00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:58,650 I think I think we're completely afraid of everything now. Global 535 00:32:58,650 --> 00:33:01,470 warming? Everybody's you know, afraid of that. That's not 536 00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:04,350 It's not that's the No, it's not the afraid part. It's a it's a 537 00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:07,380 part of being politically correct. And caring about the 538 00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:09,930 Earth and doing your part. That's what that's about is 539 00:33:09,930 --> 00:33:13,260 nothing. No one is afraid of, of the earth burning up. They don't 540 00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:15,840 give a shit. They know it's not going to happen for another, 541 00:33:15,870 --> 00:33:17,250 maybe I'm thinking 100 years 542 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,210 moved to Berkeley. 543 00:33:19,230 --> 00:33:20,490 Now I'm thinking I don't. 544 00:33:22,650 --> 00:33:24,750 But I hear what you're saying anything that here's a funny 545 00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:28,740 thing that I ran into the other day. I mean, I was actually 546 00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:33,450 stunned. I'm listening to the radio. And there's an ad for the 547 00:33:33,450 --> 00:33:39,510 CIA. I've heard this. Yeah, they go on and on about to CIA and 548 00:33:39,510 --> 00:33:41,880 had the guy with the kind of a deep kind of a voice that 549 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,060 couldn't identify it was I think the voice was tuned with one of 550 00:33:45,060 --> 00:33:48,720 those little things, you know that you can just be were sounds 551 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,120 with a guy going, you too could be a useful member of the 552 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,320 Central Intelligence Agency in clandestine intelligence 553 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,550 gathering. And in this, I think it was the word they use 554 00:34:02,550 --> 00:34:05,160 clandestine intelligence gathering. And then they should 555 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:12,870 go to cia.gov/jobs are taken by the CIA. The CIA is generally as 556 00:34:12,870 --> 00:34:16,530 a recruiting company, they go to colleges and they find kids with 557 00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:20,040 you know, high grade point averages and they make them 558 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,360 offers that they can't refuse. Yeah. And here comes you know, 559 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,640 Gina Smith, she was offered a job at the CIA, 560 00:34:26,730 --> 00:34:28,050 hold on a second hair combs 561 00:34:31,980 --> 00:34:39,270 some of our bugs and then well, real bugs. Is this the one? Now, 562 00:34:39,540 --> 00:34:44,070 at the CIA, now our scientists and engineers create and apply 563 00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:46,950 innovative technology to meet intelligence needs. 564 00:34:49,980 --> 00:34:57,060 Joined technologies so advanced kids classified US citizenship 565 00:34:57,060 --> 00:35:00,510 requires US citizenship required boy reporting. Have enough is 566 00:35:00,510 --> 00:35:00,720 not 567 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:04,320 the one I was. That's the that's actually better than a TV 568 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,790 ad actually. Well, that's 569 00:35:05,790 --> 00:35:12,240 a TV and oh my god anyway, so I can't believe they're doing this 570 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:16,650 because it's besides is like so secret agency. And then by the 571 00:35:16,650 --> 00:35:18,540 way they did all that if you want to get if anybody out there 572 00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:22,230 wants to get involved with their high tech stuff, find trying to 573 00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:25,290 find a job with the NSA, at least you want to be with 574 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,460 computers. Anyway, No Such Agency is called amongst the 575 00:35:29,850 --> 00:35:34,410 people don't want to have their phone tapped. I'm thinking it's 576 00:35:34,410 --> 00:35:39,510 a honeypot. The suck people in? Yeah, just to see what's kind of 577 00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:42,390 screwballs and you know, I mean, because you for one thing if 578 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:45,270 you're like a terrorist, the first thing you'd want to do is 579 00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:46,890 get to get a job get a job with the 580 00:35:46,890 --> 00:35:52,530 CIA. Absolutely. Yeah. Did you did you read about the the 581 00:35:52,530 --> 00:35:56,940 reporter who took on it so she firstly printed out a fake 582 00:35:56,940 --> 00:36:01,740 boarding pass at home on her computer, and you can do that. 583 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,100 And then she had three bottles which he put in her little 584 00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:08,730 plastic baggie. Each bottle was you know, 100 millilitres, one 585 00:36:08,730 --> 00:36:13,380 contain charcoal, one contains sulphur and one contain 586 00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:18,060 saltpetre. And each bottle was labelled as charcoal sulphur St. 587 00:36:18,090 --> 00:36:20,970 saltpetre. Put them as she actually she says that she 588 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,370 completely drenched and made them wet because you know, just 589 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,670 to really make sure nothing could happen because those three 590 00:36:26,670 --> 00:36:31,470 elements people is the is gunpowder. And took them 591 00:36:31,470 --> 00:36:34,680 through, you know, put her back through TSA, a little baggie 592 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,170 with everything clearly labelled she even put the labels out so 593 00:36:37,170 --> 00:36:39,900 they could read them. They didn't look at that. But they 594 00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:43,110 were very, very concerned with the pan flute that she had in 595 00:36:43,110 --> 00:36:43,950 her luggage. 596 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:50,880 Pan flute I would be. And then already with a pan flute is 597 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,930 suspicious. So 598 00:36:51,930 --> 00:36:54,510 she got through the fake boarding pass with all the 599 00:36:54,510 --> 00:36:58,590 elements for gunpowder and get this is the kicker they swapped 600 00:36:58,590 --> 00:37:02,490 her bag with one of those white little discs and it was 601 00:37:02,490 --> 00:37:03,060 negative. 602 00:37:04,949 --> 00:37:06,749 Well, I think they're like I don't know what that load disk 603 00:37:06,749 --> 00:37:10,979 is looking for. But I suspect there's specific things and one 604 00:37:11,009 --> 00:37:13,709 I'd like ammonia if she had been carrying ammonium nitrate, she 605 00:37:13,709 --> 00:37:16,019 may have been busted. I mean, that seems to be something more 606 00:37:16,019 --> 00:37:20,279 likely to be caught. As has more potential. I mean, it made to 607 00:37:20,279 --> 00:37:23,609 mix Gunpowder by yourself. It's like it's a hole. I believe it 608 00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:25,859 was used to be a chemist when I was a kid. You know, I used to 609 00:37:25,859 --> 00:37:28,799 do all these things until I was when I went to University of 610 00:37:28,799 --> 00:37:31,739 California and I was in chemistry that was warned away 611 00:37:31,739 --> 00:37:35,909 from it. But from one of my professors who said look, I can 612 00:37:36,089 --> 00:37:40,169 name 1000 guys with one finger missing because of the stupidity 613 00:37:40,169 --> 00:37:43,799 of doing some of this stuff. And so I wouldn't you know, you go 614 00:37:43,799 --> 00:37:46,169 work for a dynamite company and learn how to do it right. But 615 00:37:46,169 --> 00:37:51,659 still the the bicoid make gunpowder work. Well, Kirk Kirk 616 00:37:51,659 --> 00:37:54,029 was able to do it. Captain Kirk. 617 00:37:55,350 --> 00:37:57,930 Yeah, well, yeah, I would just do it with the with that thing 618 00:37:57,930 --> 00:37:59,490 going after him. Yeah, Captain Kirk. 619 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,310 Yeah, with the didn't use like bird poop or something. 620 00:38:03,420 --> 00:38:06,150 I herself murmur. But it was a stupidest thing I've ever seen. 621 00:38:06,210 --> 00:38:09,900 So I was likelihood of getting it to fire with by clicking on 622 00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:11,340 some Flint, zero. 623 00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:13,770 Okay, but still, you get the point? 624 00:38:15,330 --> 00:38:18,210 Yeah, no, I get the point. I you know, the problem I have with it 625 00:38:18,450 --> 00:38:21,450 is that every time somebody pulls a stunt like this, then 626 00:38:21,450 --> 00:38:24,780 they just crack crack down on everybody. So I'm inconveniences 627 00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:29,610 as all I think we know that the TSA in the rest of this is kind 628 00:38:29,610 --> 00:38:33,870 of a sham. And the whole thing is just for show. So why do you 629 00:38:33,870 --> 00:38:36,570 do this? I mean, I condemn this woman. 630 00:38:37,770 --> 00:38:41,220 Interesting. Take. Good point, actually. Now I think about it. 631 00:38:44,190 --> 00:38:47,910 Well, I guess the thing, that's the only instead of really doing 632 00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:52,140 some writing and really making some real trouble where it 633 00:38:52,140 --> 00:38:57,660 matters, to stop the idiocy that is the multibillion dollar TSA, 634 00:38:58,740 --> 00:39:01,410 that's what he chooses to use as a weapon and 635 00:39:01,410 --> 00:39:04,980 they end up giving you even more money. So the CIA, 636 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:10,230 the CIA has a kid's page. John, welcome. We're glad you're here 637 00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:13,290 to learn more about the Central Intelligence Agency. 638 00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:17,100 And then it should say wait, while we instal this trojan 639 00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:21,390 horse on your computer. 10 Nine, eight Fine, now you can 640 00:39:21,390 --> 00:39:21,930 continue. 641 00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:27,510 This is pretty amazing. Unbelievable. So you're ready to 642 00:39:27,510 --> 00:39:34,050 learn more about the CIA? Hmm. Let's see games. Have games. 643 00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:38,760 puzzles were break the code, aerial analysis challenge. 644 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,910 Oh, these are this reminds me of the movie Last Starfighter. So 645 00:39:44,910 --> 00:39:48,180 the kids go on this site, and then they crack the code and 646 00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:51,510 then they give them another second level and the third and 647 00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:54,420 indeed by the fourth level it the kid cracks the code within a 648 00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:59,850 certain amount of time so I'm not going to hire you for the 649 00:39:59,850 --> 00:40:03,420 rest to their lives man 650 00:40:05,730 --> 00:40:08,340 that's pretty that is just frightening isn't it? 651 00:40:09,420 --> 00:40:13,110 Yeah, somebody's got to do some of that. I think they I don't 652 00:40:13,110 --> 00:40:19,830 know I don't know if they're if they we need a better CIA or 653 00:40:19,830 --> 00:40:20,850 worse I'm not sure. 654 00:40:23,010 --> 00:40:25,290 I'm trying to find the radio commercial that you heard but 655 00:40:25,290 --> 00:40:26,370 I'm not. It 656 00:40:26,370 --> 00:40:27,450 wasn't videos audio. 657 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,840 Yeah radio two I said the radio commercial. Or they said video 658 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,530 sorry, I meant radio commercial. You'd think that someone that 659 00:40:34,530 --> 00:40:35,940 have that around? Oh, well. 660 00:40:38,250 --> 00:40:40,620 They're talking about clandestine which is like, what 661 00:40:40,620 --> 00:40:46,260 does that mean? Well, I know that there's covert that's, you 662 00:40:46,260 --> 00:40:50,280 know that they apparently are not seeking anybody to go in and 663 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:50,940 murder people. 664 00:40:50,969 --> 00:40:54,059 No, but what I've seen them do is is particularly with kids is 665 00:40:54,059 --> 00:40:57,419 they can send you a little kit and you you're supposed to be an 666 00:40:57,419 --> 00:41:01,529 environmentalist, undercover agent and if you see your 667 00:41:01,529 --> 00:41:04,979 parents doing something that is not green, then you didn't you 668 00:41:04,979 --> 00:41:08,309 know, you have to bust them and then you know, you should report 669 00:41:08,309 --> 00:41:12,269 the you have to torture them. Water waterboard your parents 670 00:41:15,989 --> 00:41:22,529 disgusting it really is. Farmers? You got some I got 671 00:41:22,529 --> 00:41:24,179 plenty of stuff. You tell me if he was 672 00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:26,460 just gonna go on with a jet. I never finished the genus Smith 673 00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:26,790 story. 674 00:41:26,820 --> 00:41:27,690 Oh, sorry. Okay. 675 00:41:28,290 --> 00:41:32,340 So she apparently those who graduated from college and they 676 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,740 you know, by the way, I've brought the store with different 677 00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:37,770 people in there. That's bull. And then it was my fair warning 678 00:41:37,770 --> 00:41:41,670 some that somebody may was you said that's bully used to do the 679 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:44,250 end of May it wasn't you and they said they used to do that 680 00:41:44,250 --> 00:41:47,730 though. Always like that. They used they don't do it anymore. 681 00:41:48,270 --> 00:41:51,420 So the thing was, Gina was supposed to the CIA was gonna 682 00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:56,130 place her in a high paying reporters job at a newspaper. 683 00:41:56,460 --> 00:41:58,830 Oh, yeah. So she would just be writing whatever they wanted her 684 00:41:58,830 --> 00:41:59,310 to write. 685 00:41:59,790 --> 00:42:01,950 Yeah, every once in a while they needed to do some 686 00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:05,490 disinformation. Or some, you know, they need to feed 687 00:42:05,490 --> 00:42:07,560 something and then you know, she would write it up. And that 688 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,010 would be That's all she into maybe once every six months or 689 00:42:11,010 --> 00:42:13,830 who knows. But she'd be on the payroll the whole time. And then 690 00:42:13,830 --> 00:42:17,190 she'd come in. And this is the kind of thing of course, I think 691 00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:22,350 you can identify. If you're smart reader, you can find you 692 00:42:22,350 --> 00:42:28,380 can see these kinds of planted stories that you know, that's 693 00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:30,930 like some of the like, the my favourite example is the 694 00:42:30,930 --> 00:42:35,490 confessions of the economic hitman. If you don't mean you 695 00:42:35,490 --> 00:42:37,260 can read the book or not read the book. But what you want to 696 00:42:37,260 --> 00:42:44,010 go do is look at the reviews. That blasted the book. Right? 697 00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:46,920 And I found this one guy, I can't remember who it was. But 698 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,590 he's, I think he's with the Boston Globe or the worst 699 00:42:49,590 --> 00:42:53,820 impulses, maybe Washington Post. And he blasted the book is bull. 700 00:42:54,090 --> 00:42:57,840 And he went on, but if you then when you see that guy, then you 701 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,690 back to you click on all his articles. 702 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,270 And it's all the same, right? And then you say, the same 703 00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:08,730 apologetic Malarkey, that is like, Oh, this is interesting. 704 00:43:08,730 --> 00:43:11,160 And then you so then if you can reverse engineer the whole 705 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,030 process, and figure out who these guys are the Stooges. You 706 00:43:15,030 --> 00:43:19,320 can read their material to see exactly what the Litany is. And 707 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,680 you're what's what's the what's the memo for the day was the 708 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,750 talk I was supposed to be thinking, what's the right way 709 00:43:24,750 --> 00:43:25,920 of thinking about things? 710 00:43:26,309 --> 00:43:30,299 Well, so you can actually see that right now. You'll see very 711 00:43:30,299 --> 00:43:37,499 few journalists really, really, really condemning Israel, for 712 00:43:37,979 --> 00:43:41,729 their part in the conflict in the Gaza. And then from time to 713 00:43:41,729 --> 00:43:44,309 time, you'll see one that really sticks out and really defends 714 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:50,099 Israel. And you've got to believe that that's all I mean, 715 00:43:50,219 --> 00:43:52,799 that just doesn't make any sense. You can't defend either 716 00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:53,699 side of that. 717 00:43:55,350 --> 00:43:58,380 Right? So yeah, I know you can fight you can this you can spot 718 00:43:58,380 --> 00:44:00,960 these guys. But what I recommend people do who want to be smart 719 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,410 readers, is that when when somebody when somebody sticks 720 00:44:04,410 --> 00:44:07,800 out like a sore thumb, look at their past work. This is kind of 721 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,450 like using Yelp. In real time. Yes, like a giant you know, Yelp 722 00:44:12,450 --> 00:44:15,510 is interesting as a reviewer site and people around the right 723 00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:15,600 and 724 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,970 then and then you look at the reviewers and see what what 725 00:44:17,970 --> 00:44:19,710 their other reviews are for other things. 726 00:44:20,009 --> 00:44:23,579 Right. So you say you've got you know, Cynthia here who likes or 727 00:44:23,579 --> 00:44:25,919 dislikes this restaurant you think you're going to you're 728 00:44:25,919 --> 00:44:29,459 gonna go to and you click on all of our reviews, and then you can 729 00:44:29,459 --> 00:44:32,069 see if you're in agreement with her on the stuff that you have 730 00:44:32,069 --> 00:44:34,799 common and you know, where there's common knowledge. In 731 00:44:34,799 --> 00:44:38,039 other words, I've been to this restaurant already. What is she 732 00:44:38,069 --> 00:44:41,249 and I liked it and she hates hates it. I'm thinking, well, 733 00:44:41,249 --> 00:44:43,739 this woman is not in agreement with me. So I'm not going to 734 00:44:43,739 --> 00:44:47,309 take her advice. And so you'd find another reviewer who's in 735 00:44:47,309 --> 00:44:50,129 total agreement with everything the way you think in terms of 736 00:44:50,129 --> 00:44:54,689 taste for restaurants. And so you you can sell okay, then she 737 00:44:54,689 --> 00:44:59,669 liked this new place, I will go there. That's you can do that in 738 00:44:59,669 --> 00:45:02,159 the real In real time now that we're on the net with all this 739 00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:05,549 information because these writers, their stuff is all 740 00:45:05,669 --> 00:45:08,159 archived. I mean, you can go to market watch, for example, and 741 00:45:08,159 --> 00:45:10,379 you can read my stuff for the last four years. 742 00:45:11,340 --> 00:45:14,100 And then quickly never read another article because like, 743 00:45:14,190 --> 00:45:16,170 this guy always does the same thing. We don't want to 744 00:45:16,170 --> 00:45:18,930 report. That's the problem. But except for that, 745 00:45:20,190 --> 00:45:22,410 would you mind breaking something down for me, John, I 746 00:45:22,410 --> 00:45:25,380 see you not responded to the three times have now brought up 747 00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:33,000 Gaza. How did that what was going on there? What exactly is 748 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,500 the problem? Why is this? 749 00:45:35,070 --> 00:45:38,340 I think the Israeli I have just for some reason, I haven't 750 00:45:38,340 --> 00:45:42,000 followed this closely by except for the fact that the way it's 751 00:45:42,030 --> 00:45:45,180 portrayed is the Israelis are sick and tired of having these 752 00:45:45,180 --> 00:45:50,220 missiles lobbed into their country constantly. As a as a 753 00:45:50,220 --> 00:45:54,810 terrorist mechanism is kind of like the buzz bombs over London. 754 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,600 You know, they didn't do as much damage as you know, the Israelis 755 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,800 ended up doing right well, 756 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,650 these are these like firemen. He's like bottle rockets are 757 00:46:01,650 --> 00:46:03,540 sending off. I mean, I'm not saying that they don't cause 758 00:46:03,540 --> 00:46:05,340 destruction, but it's nothing compared 759 00:46:05,340 --> 00:46:08,850 to well, they keep doing it. And they won't stop. Right. But why 760 00:46:08,850 --> 00:46:09,390 are they doing 761 00:46:09,390 --> 00:46:12,540 it? That's what I always say, Well, what's, why did they want 762 00:46:12,540 --> 00:46:13,080 to do that? If 763 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,230 people think they're doing it is because you know, hot, the whole 764 00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:19,590 thing is funded by Iran to get the attention away from other 765 00:46:19,590 --> 00:46:20,670 issues in the Middle East. Let's 766 00:46:20,670 --> 00:46:23,640 break it down a little bit further. What is the history of 767 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:24,540 the Gaza Strip? 768 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,059 Well, the history of the Gaza Strip has always been an area of 769 00:46:30,089 --> 00:46:34,379 of the problem of the Gaza Strip is too close. It's it's in a 770 00:46:34,379 --> 00:46:38,189 situation where you can easily attack Israel. And so the 771 00:46:38,189 --> 00:46:41,189 Israelis had to take it over some years ago. And they have 772 00:46:41,189 --> 00:46:41,579 now 773 00:46:41,610 --> 00:46:44,670 because they wish it was originally not designated as 774 00:46:46,110 --> 00:46:49,380 Israel doesn't resolve stem from after the Second World War, 775 00:46:49,380 --> 00:46:51,810 didn't the Brits draw up these lines and said, Here you go. 776 00:46:52,710 --> 00:46:54,960 The Brits are responsible for the whole thing. 777 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,870 Would you mind just filling me in just so I have the 778 00:46:57,870 --> 00:46:59,970 story? I don't know the history that well. I mean, there 779 00:46:59,969 --> 00:47:02,669 are people that are a travesty, we should know the history. 780 00:47:03,690 --> 00:47:06,270 We know the history that after World War Two, they had their 781 00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:09,600 you know, they had to put all these Jewish refugees someplace 782 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,760 and they this and they wanted to have their own country and they 783 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,050 wanted to go back to Jerusalem. And so as the spoils of war, 784 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,710 which is not uncommon, because the Arabs in that whole group 785 00:47:19,710 --> 00:47:21,900 were on the sides of the Nazis, we could have taken over the 786 00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:26,700 whole place. We took this last chunk and gave it to the the 787 00:47:26,730 --> 00:47:30,000 Jews and they've been pissed off ever since the other people when 788 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,010 in fact, we could have taken over the entire Middle East. 789 00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:35,400 That's the time they've taken over the oil fields. They I 790 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,130 mean, there was there were there were essentially the the enemy. 791 00:47:38,850 --> 00:47:45,630 Right. So that's, you know, basically where it starts. 792 00:47:47,130 --> 00:47:52,260 Well, it's pretty messed up. But I can see, I can see both sides, 793 00:47:52,260 --> 00:47:57,900 you know, I of course, lobbing missiles is not acceptable. But 794 00:47:57,900 --> 00:48:00,900 there's so much going on there, man. It's just that whole 795 00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:04,410 area has been perpetually screwed up. And even before they 796 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,370 they World War Two, I mean, it's never been a good area. I mean, 797 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:09,750 it's always been nutty. 798 00:48:10,529 --> 00:48:14,549 So you'd expect the office of the president elect to at least 799 00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:16,859 say something which he refused doesn't 800 00:48:16,859 --> 00:48:18,779 know what to do, you see, befuddled? 801 00:48:20,429 --> 00:48:23,549 He's too busy. He's extending everybody's employment 802 00:48:23,549 --> 00:48:24,029 agreement. 803 00:48:24,630 --> 00:48:27,870 No, he's too busy was making arrangements for this big party 804 00:48:27,870 --> 00:48:31,170 he's gonna have there's gonna be a party administration. I mean, 805 00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:34,650 that's going to make Kennedy's look like a joke. I mean, we're 806 00:48:34,650 --> 00:48:38,250 starting off already with this giant party of his inauguration, 807 00:48:38,250 --> 00:48:40,050 which is going to be a you know, this is going to be worse than 808 00:48:40,050 --> 00:48:43,230 anything we ever done in Nazi Germany. I mean, people are just 809 00:48:43,260 --> 00:48:47,640 flocking to go there. And and they're going to be a massive, 810 00:48:48,030 --> 00:48:50,940 it's going to be like 2 million people live. I mean, hopefully, 811 00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:52,770 you know, they're asking for trouble in one of these 812 00:48:52,770 --> 00:48:54,870 situations, there's a riot breaks out or something weird 813 00:48:54,870 --> 00:48:58,410 happens, but let's just say that nothing does. And then we go 814 00:48:58,410 --> 00:49:02,970 from there to the inauguration balls of plural are all like now 815 00:49:02,970 --> 00:49:05,640 it's like a big deal to be in this one or that one. And 816 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,830 there's all the you know, there's gonna be more chit chat 817 00:49:07,830 --> 00:49:12,660 about these balls and who saw who and who's in and who's out 818 00:49:12,660 --> 00:49:16,530 and who's on the Obama a list and who's on the B list and what 819 00:49:16,530 --> 00:49:20,880 can you do to get from the C list to the B list and then this 820 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,190 has never been a this is going to just continue throughout his 821 00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:29,160 administration is just kind of weird, you know, kind of social 822 00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:31,020 craziness 823 00:49:33,060 --> 00:49:36,960 It seems like you've got to get right he's just going to shut up 824 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,850 until the inauguration and then 825 00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:42,600 yeah, and then it's going to be just a bunch of you know, I 826 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,130 think he's it's going to be a lot of empty phraseology, you 827 00:49:47,130 --> 00:49:52,440 know, he's going to come out or do to do a doe doo doo, doo doo 828 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,890 doo Ron Ron to do Ron Ron Ron. 829 00:49:58,110 --> 00:50:00,930 It's gonna be just a lot of you know, he's gonna Next continue 830 00:50:00,930 --> 00:50:04,080 to watch pay what's worked for him in the past campaign 831 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,320 speeches he's going to keep giving them is going to be it's 832 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,340 going to be an endless campaign speech.

Savings 848 00:50:57,900 --> 00:51:06,840 accounts, now get 0.1% interest in the United Kingdom the 849 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,560 interest the interest is now interest is now lower than is 850 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:11,790 now lower than inflation. 851 00:51:14,670 --> 00:51:16,740 That's no, what can I say? 852 00:51:16,890 --> 00:51:19,830 And and the bank you know, a lot of people have a tracker 853 00:51:19,830 --> 00:51:22,500 mortgages. They have that in the states tracker mortgages. I 854 00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:26,250 never heard of it. Oh, in the United Kingdom. And a lot of 855 00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:30,120 people in the lower housing have them. So it tracks to as an 856 00:51:30,210 --> 00:51:33,420 example LIBOR, the London Interbank overnight rate. Oh, 857 00:51:33,420 --> 00:51:33,870 that's 858 00:51:33,870 --> 00:51:37,350 call it that's an adjustable we call Okay. Well, here 859 00:51:37,350 --> 00:51:39,690 they call it a tracker. And of course, those people's mortgages 860 00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:41,430 have been going down. Because they 861 00:51:41,429 --> 00:51:44,099 try. We that's what we've had. We've had adjustable the whole 862 00:51:44,099 --> 00:51:46,949 time. It's just the laughably bad goal, let's refinance and 863 00:51:46,949 --> 00:51:49,889 then they get fixed and it still keeps going down. I'm thinking, 864 00:51:50,399 --> 00:51:52,529 you know, it's never gonna stop going down. 865 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,070 Well, it it stops now, because the banks in the United Kingdom 866 00:51:56,070 --> 00:51:58,620 have said, Oh, those of you with, with tracker mortgages. 867 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,640 This is it. It's not going any lower. Even if the rate goes 868 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,590 down, your your mortgage will not go 869 00:52:04,590 --> 00:52:06,690 down. Well, that's not what it says in the contracts. It's not 870 00:52:06,690 --> 00:52:09,300 going to work here. But they're forcing that that absolutely 871 00:52:09,300 --> 00:52:11,070 force whatever they want. They're gonna get their ass 872 00:52:11,070 --> 00:52:13,170 suit. And if it isn't in the United States, they pull a stunt 873 00:52:13,170 --> 00:52:16,650 like that. We don't put up with that crap you guys put up with? 874 00:52:17,549 --> 00:52:22,769 Oh, you mean like outsourcing the big email, telephone trap 875 00:52:22,769 --> 00:52:25,739 database to a private company. You mean stuff like that? 876 00:52:26,609 --> 00:52:30,869 Yeah. Stuff like that. We don't put up with it. 877 00:52:31,710 --> 00:52:34,620 What is the world coming to? Why did people you know, I was 878 00:52:34,620 --> 00:52:39,720 talking to movers. So we would this move we had like 15 Guys, 879 00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:43,260 you know, around us for a total of four or five days. It packing 880 00:52:43,260 --> 00:52:43,800 moving in, 881 00:52:43,830 --> 00:52:45,720 unpack a talk like this? 882 00:52:45,870 --> 00:52:48,570 Yeah. Well, they're all They're all like cockney guys, and one 883 00:52:48,570 --> 00:52:51,990 or two from the north. And I asked them all kind of the same 884 00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:54,900 question. I said, Hey, you know, when he when you guys just 885 00:52:54,900 --> 00:52:58,260 stopped taking it up the ass? And they say, Well, you know, 886 00:52:58,260 --> 00:53:01,410 we're getting pretty close here. So what you tell me that I'm 887 00:53:01,410 --> 00:53:04,200 going to see pitchforks and torches in the streets. He said, 888 00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:07,650 you know, angry mob. So the guy said is that I believe within a 889 00:53:07,650 --> 00:53:10,560 year that's going to happen. And he said, I'm taking all the 890 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,790 lorries up to Whitehall. So I'm gonna go block the shit off. So 891 00:53:14,820 --> 00:53:17,850 it's brewing. There's something going on there. The French would 892 00:53:17,850 --> 00:53:20,970 have done it a year ago. Yeah, the apple. The French did do it 893 00:53:20,970 --> 00:53:24,690 a year ago. And the year before and the year before that. 894 00:53:24,990 --> 00:53:28,230 Yeah, all the good is done. But at least they feel good about 895 00:53:28,230 --> 00:53:32,040 it. And people always know that the French can, you know, screw 896 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,050 up the whole place really fast. 897 00:53:34,740 --> 00:53:39,090 Hey, would you like to know the top chateaux? nerfs.

But she's got a good 904 00:54:02,310 --> 00:54:04,980 palate, more or less. I mean, she's not I don't think she's a 905 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,710 She's more of a book writer than she is, you know, professional 906 00:54:07,710 --> 00:54:11,100 tastes are looking at her.

It's 920 00:55:01,110 --> 00:55:03,360 Well, here's what she's plugging. She's plugging 921 00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:04,410 parents. I'm 922 00:55:04,410 --> 00:55:05,970 sure it's overpriced. Well, 923 00:55:05,969 --> 00:55:10,619 there's no there's no prices. Taryn Omar Jacques Perrin. Yeah 924 00:55:10,649 --> 00:55:12,869 Chateau de Bo Castel 925 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,160 Yeah well that's that's such that's a standard step on video. 926 00:55:18,030 --> 00:55:18,780 Yeah, I've never heard of 927 00:55:19,290 --> 00:55:24,960 them do more closed a closed a pop of course. Dome la barouche 928 00:55:24,990 --> 00:55:29,940 lob rush don de la Siobhan yeah 929 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:35,130 yeah okay whatever I don't like talking about wine it's just the 930 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,440 you know list of shots and if the Pops is not the most 931 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,580 interesting thing in the world 932 00:55:38,670 --> 00:55:40,410 oh man I can't wait until you come over here 933 00:55:40,409 --> 00:55:42,599 I think it's because Parker picked up on it cuz he was like, 934 00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:45,779 you know trying to get some more market share. So he got had one 935 00:55:45,779 --> 00:55:48,299 of his minions you know, get into shet and have to pop and 936 00:55:48,299 --> 00:55:52,229 start ranking them now you see these Schatten at the Pops for 937 00:55:53,009 --> 00:55:58,109 for the $100 is ridiculous. And they you know, they don't know. 938 00:55:58,139 --> 00:56:02,369 There's just not I said, I think it's an overrated one. I like 939 00:56:02,369 --> 00:56:07,409 them by the way. I think they're really tasty but there's a 940 00:56:07,409 --> 00:56:10,019 sameness to them that doesn't make them that interesting and 941 00:56:11,369 --> 00:56:15,869 I'm sure someone's goal that's a bowl. Now there is there's a 942 00:56:15,869 --> 00:56:18,659 sameness I mean, there's the old tastes like that the tastes very 943 00:56:18,659 --> 00:56:21,569 similar. It tastes like Chateauneuf Du Papa, which is 944 00:56:21,569 --> 00:56:24,869 supposed to but I mean, there's but the variation between the 95 945 00:56:24,869 --> 00:56:31,919 point $150 Chateau neuf Depop and $24 Schatten have to pause 946 00:56:31,919 --> 00:56:34,229 minimal right? It's not profound right? 947 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,750 Hey, I'm coming out at the end of the month dude, so you better 948 00:56:36,780 --> 00:56:37,830 line something up. 949 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,070 So I went to che Spencer the other day, I was sorely 950 00:56:41,070 --> 00:56:45,360 disappointed. No, surely you just know I think they lost 951 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,370 their chef or something because I mean, this wasn't anything 952 00:56:47,370 --> 00:56:51,330 like me. This is like what are you doing? So that's off the 953 00:56:51,330 --> 00:56:55,710 list. Really? Wow. Yeah, very very much have a you ask them 954 00:56:55,710 --> 00:56:59,550 did you inquire what what was one of the girls that works 955 00:56:59,550 --> 00:57:03,330 there also works at free gall. When I'm over free ngala 956 00:57:03,330 --> 00:57:08,700 probably grill her. She says for in Gaul has a new chef. That's 957 00:57:08,850 --> 00:57:11,070 that may have stabilised a cuisine those who have to go 958 00:57:11,070 --> 00:57:13,140 check it out. You know, they've gone through a bunch of guys who 959 00:57:13,140 --> 00:57:14,040 have to go back Well, I'm going 960 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,220 to be out for was it four or five days? Maybe so we should 961 00:57:17,220 --> 00:57:20,790 probably try a couple different places. Yeah, we should Well, 962 00:57:21,810 --> 00:57:24,360 let's plan at least two dinners because it'll be a while before 963 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:24,900 I'm back. 964 00:57:26,010 --> 00:57:28,050 All right, and there's probably a couple play Oh yeah. You know 965 00:57:28,050 --> 00:57:31,170 what's happening now in San Francisco is these there's a 966 00:57:31,170 --> 00:57:34,140 bunch of these I don't know where they got this one from but 967 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,190 I think there's at least three of them. Extremely trendy, 968 00:57:38,430 --> 00:57:45,240 Peruvian restaurants, high tech New York style decor you know 969 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,420 some sort of suppose it Peruvian cuisine I've been to Peru I 970 00:57:48,420 --> 00:57:52,560 don't know what they're talking about. But the it but they're 971 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,250 extremely very talented guys. You know they're super chefs 972 00:57:56,250 --> 00:58:00,060 from Peru that have been trained in Paris or something like that. 973 00:58:00,060 --> 00:58:02,370 So we should probably get two of those so we can be at do it 974 00:58:02,370 --> 00:58:05,670 thematic thing with this Peruvian thing going what is the 975 00:58:05,670 --> 00:58:06,060 tradition 976 00:58:06,090 --> 00:58:09,630 typical traditional Peruvian dish? Well, as far as 977 00:58:09,630 --> 00:58:12,090 I can tell, when I was in Peru, I mean that was taken to what 978 00:58:12,090 --> 00:58:15,900 the Peruvians really eat. But if you go into the mountains, we go 979 00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:18,750 to the the middle of nowhere that you know the peaks of the 980 00:58:18,750 --> 00:58:22,470 Andes and go to some villages, you know, they they eat a very 981 00:58:23,220 --> 00:58:26,280 pretty moderate meal of you know, just you know, meat and 982 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,220 potatoes literally, I mean, they have 10,000 kinds of potatoes 983 00:58:29,220 --> 00:58:32,610 they grow sweet potatoes came from. So it's a lot of potatoes. 984 00:58:32,610 --> 00:58:34,950 If there's not a lot of potatoes in the dish, then you know, it's 985 00:58:34,950 --> 00:58:39,960 not Peruvian. But there's a thing that I ran into that they 986 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,330 said oh, this is what the Peruvians liked the best is my 987 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,020 guy taking me around. And it's the thing called chief ah, and 988 00:58:46,020 --> 00:58:50,880 it's ch AI f A, and you look at it, and if you just squint your 989 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,410 eyes a little bit, it says China, and it is in a font that 990 00:58:55,410 --> 00:58:58,800 is always that kind of, you know, that Chinatown font, you 991 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,740 know, if he's a tiny, tiny town font, 992 00:59:02,219 --> 00:59:05,099 so it's an audible font clearly. So 993 00:59:05,100 --> 00:59:08,250 it's a Chinatown finance and the food and you go any habit. It's 994 00:59:08,250 --> 00:59:14,820 just kind of a some sort of faux Chinese food Chihuahua. And it 995 00:59:14,820 --> 00:59:20,010 is for what I could tell it's almost a dead on copy of a much 996 00:59:20,010 --> 00:59:23,490 Meteor version with potatoes often, which you don't get in 997 00:59:23,490 --> 00:59:28,680 China Chinese food ever. But of Chow Chop Suey, which was an 998 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:29,490 invention. 999 00:59:30,270 --> 00:59:32,940 I thought Chop Suey was an American invention. Yeah. So I'm 1000 00:59:32,940 --> 00:59:33,870 saying it's 1001 00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:38,100 an invention from America. But it seems to me that the idea 1002 00:59:38,130 --> 00:59:45,510 that somehow Chop Suey developed independently in Peru from the 1003 00:59:45,510 --> 00:59:48,150 whatever the Chinese food was because you know, chop suey 1004 00:59:48,150 --> 00:59:51,210 evolved, I believe. I mean, if you think about it logically and 1005 00:59:51,210 --> 00:59:54,960 I and it's hard to get the history of chop suey. But Chop 1006 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,820 Suey, I think evolved when Chinese from the 1860s came 1007 00:59:59,820 --> 01:00:02,130 over. her to build the railroads. And they brought 1008 01:00:02,130 --> 01:00:06,480 their cuisine with them. And at some point, they couldn't get 1009 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,850 the ingredients. I mean, they you know, we didn't grow any of 1010 01:00:08,850 --> 01:00:14,970 this stuff. So they kind of a mock Chinese dish evolved, I 1011 01:00:14,970 --> 01:00:18,990 think in California, and it became known as Chop Suey and I 1012 01:00:18,990 --> 01:00:21,390 can make chop so I know exactly how it would because I used to 1013 01:00:21,390 --> 01:00:25,050 have when I was a kid. And it's always amusing. I think I've 1014 01:00:25,050 --> 01:00:27,630 made Chop Suey two or three times over the last 10 years for 1015 01:00:27,630 --> 01:00:34,410 the family as a joke and all we're having Chop Suey and and 1016 01:00:34,410 --> 01:00:34,770 everyone you 1017 01:00:36,210 --> 01:00:37,470 know chop suey. 1018 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,880 It's not It's very tasty. It's not like a bad it's not bad. But 1019 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,460 it's not something you'd ever have in China. You just couldn't 1020 01:00:44,460 --> 01:00:48,540 find it there so so anyway, so this chief is was was I had I go 1021 01:00:48,540 --> 01:00:52,170 this is chop suey For God's sake, and these Peruvians are 1022 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,110 loving it. So I don't know what that what these restaurants are 1023 01:00:55,110 --> 01:00:57,000 about, but it's obviously not about shifa. 1024 01:00:58,890 --> 01:01:02,130 You are familiar with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. 1025 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,880 Yeah. Yeah, it used to be a busboy turn chef, 1026 01:01:06,239 --> 01:01:11,039 and not very successful chef. Huge a while ago he can and he's 1027 01:01:11,039 --> 01:01:13,619 come back with a retort. Why bring it up? He gets said the 1028 01:01:13,619 --> 01:01:18,119 British people are drunks with diets worse than those found in 1029 01:01:18,119 --> 01:01:21,329 the poorest slums of Soweto. Soweto. 1030 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,210 Yeah. And so what was wrong with that? 1031 01:01:24,900 --> 01:01:29,850 Are you kidding me? People went apeshit and is retarded. The 1032 01:01:29,850 --> 01:01:32,850 people I'm telling you about have huge TV sets a lot bigger 1033 01:01:32,850 --> 01:01:35,490 than mine. They have state of the art mobile phones, cars, 1034 01:01:35,490 --> 01:01:38,400 they go and get drunk in pubs the weekend their poverty shows 1035 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,130 in the way they feed themselves. I found the cooking of the 1036 01:01:41,130 --> 01:01:44,010 inhabitants of the slum and survey toe in South Africa a lot 1037 01:01:44,010 --> 01:01:47,370 more diverse than ours. It's true. I'm going to be harsh, but 1038 01:01:47,370 --> 01:01:49,830 I think a lot of English people's food lacks heart. It's 1039 01:01:49,830 --> 01:01:53,430 bland. Spot on. Yeah, he knew you know, 1040 01:01:53,429 --> 01:01:57,869 I've never heard that about British food being bland. Hmm. I 1041 01:01:57,869 --> 01:01:58,919 mean, going down. 1042 01:01:59,580 --> 01:02:02,070 We got a great restaurant around the corner. He in fact has a 1043 01:02:02,070 --> 01:02:05,910 number of very, very good restaurants. And we went to a 1044 01:02:05,970 --> 01:02:10,950 place called Grafton house last night is in walking distance. 1045 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:17,580 Fantastic, beautiful place. You know, really? It's new, 1046 01:02:17,610 --> 01:02:22,110 right? Is it ranked in the Michelin book? Is it who's owns 1047 01:02:22,110 --> 01:02:24,930 it? Who's the owner because it's about a five or six of these 1048 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:30,270 superstar you know, find out? Find out what's his name? Gordon 1049 01:02:30,270 --> 01:02:34,650 Ramsay. Ramsay Gordon Ramsay type operation. You know, Gordon 1050 01:02:34,650 --> 01:02:37,440 Ramsay is in deep shit. You certainly you've heard about 1051 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:38,100 that, right? 1052 01:02:38,429 --> 01:02:40,319 No, I know nothing. 1053 01:02:40,380 --> 01:02:44,010 Oh. Turns out he was cheating on his wife with another woman for 1054 01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:51,360 five years. Oh, that's bad times. He's being ripped apart 1055 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,030 because you know, you know how he is Mr. Family Man.

This is how it works. 1064 01:03:14,340 --> 01:03:16,800 You know, you go up, you go down. It's a roller coaster. 1065 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,930 That's just the way you stay in it long enough. You're gonna get 1066 01:03:18,930 --> 01:03:21,990 slammed down and then if you can hang in long enough down at the 1067 01:03:21,990 --> 01:03:24,120 bottom, you can move back up. That's the way it works. 1068 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:28,500 Celebrity Big Brother has started again, John. Great. 1069 01:03:28,530 --> 01:03:30,870 Would you like to know who's in the house?

Let's see x sugar baby mootai buena. Sounds like a real 1093 01:04:58,170 --> 01:05:02,460 name to me.

Of course Gangster's paradise. Lucy Pender, a 1096 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:18,570 conservatory. Conservative supported model who hates quote 1097 01:05:18,570 --> 01:05:20,820 bleeding heart liberals. I'll be interesting. 1098 01:05:21,299 --> 01:05:22,529 Oh yeah, that would be fun. 1099 01:05:24,900 --> 01:05:27,930 But Latoya Jackson is just fascinating to look at her face. 1100 01:05:28,530 --> 01:05:31,410 Just I can look at it for hours like man, how did she What did 1101 01:05:31,410 --> 01:05:36,060 she do to it? And knows is all like chopped and reshaped and 1102 01:05:36,090 --> 01:05:37,380 just I love it. 1103 01:05:37,980 --> 01:05:40,890 Okay, out loud. She she definitely is would would 1104 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,830 Michael wanted to do but I guess they use different doctors. 1105 01:05:45,270 --> 01:05:50,190 And I think he has a whole host of doctors that he's used. And 1106 01:05:51,030 --> 01:05:52,320 you know, the news. 1107 01:05:52,350 --> 01:05:55,470 Did you hear the story that he's like, down and out and broke? 1108 01:05:55,500 --> 01:05:58,350 I don't buy that. I don't buy that at all doesn't make sense. 1109 01:05:58,350 --> 01:06:03,810 No, I don't I don't buy that. He's, you know, look, he 1110 01:06:03,810 --> 01:06:08,460 definitely has issues. But I also think, but if you have he 1111 01:06:08,460 --> 01:06:12,960 was in Dubai for a number of years and he's all around. And 1112 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,450 yeah, he's like, guess what, it's normal guy. He goes to 1113 01:06:15,450 --> 01:06:18,300 normal places and stays with normal people which and then 1114 01:06:18,300 --> 01:06:20,850 he's always under the always living in a piece of shit house 1115 01:06:20,850 --> 01:06:25,050 and I don't know, I mean, just just on royalties alone of the 1116 01:06:25,050 --> 01:06:29,070 stuff that he's done. You know, ASCAP, BMI, the guy that he'll 1117 01:06:29,070 --> 01:06:32,730 never have to work a day in his life ever again. And I think if 1118 01:06:32,730 --> 01:06:38,040 you have such a huge financial empire, and you know stuff like 1119 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,800 the Neverland ranch house, like fucking, you know, I gotta, I 1120 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,320 gotta deal with that. I gotta, you know, whatever the mortgage 1121 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,290 is due or whatever the issue is, you know, people turn that into, 1122 01:06:47,820 --> 01:06:49,650 into weird stories. 1123 01:06:51,719 --> 01:06:55,739 On the other hand, I heard Marla Maples is just living in some 1124 01:06:55,739 --> 01:06:57,449 apartment in Phoenix. 1125 01:06:57,449 --> 01:07:01,949 Yes. And she shacked up with Fergie. Was that right? No, but 1126 01:07:02,249 --> 01:07:04,079 I put her at the same level. 1127 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,370 Something like that. A formula for Fergie. The net? Fergie, the 1128 01:07:08,370 --> 01:07:08,970 singer, you don't 1129 01:07:08,969 --> 01:07:11,969 know. And Fergie, Fergie, the formerly known as the Duchess of 1130 01:07:11,969 --> 01:07:12,539 York, 1131 01:07:13,050 --> 01:07:16,500 where she now she was doing what she did Jenny Craig for a while. 1132 01:07:16,980 --> 01:07:18,600 Yeah, that didn't work out shows you there was 1133 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,840 a very successful documentary that they did here on Channel 1134 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:25,500 Four, I think or maybe was ITV and it was, it was like a 1135 01:07:25,500 --> 01:07:29,790 reality show of her at home. And was off the scale seven, 8 1136 01:07:29,790 --> 01:07:33,510 million viewers, which is big for the UK. So I'm sure she got 1137 01:07:33,510 --> 01:07:35,700 the issue, just doing gigs getting money getting paid. 1138 01:07:37,679 --> 01:07:40,439 When I first saw when she first came over to the states to like, 1139 01:07:40,559 --> 01:07:45,539 settle in, she still had that British upper class kind of air. 1140 01:07:45,599 --> 01:07:52,019 Yeah. Which is a disdainful, kind of understated, quality, 1141 01:07:52,409 --> 01:07:55,079 hard to put your finger on. That mean, you're gonna identify if 1142 01:07:55,079 --> 01:07:57,599 you know what to look for, but it's, you know, people probably 1143 01:07:57,599 --> 01:08:01,289 push I would think she put people off. And I wonder if 1144 01:08:01,289 --> 01:08:05,429 that's changing at all, because even even I even saw it coming 1145 01:08:05,429 --> 01:08:07,169 through when she was doing the Jenny Craig thing. 1146 01:08:07,260 --> 01:08:12,690 I don't think people care. Maybe not that don't 1147 01:08:12,690 --> 01:08:15,270 maybe she'll back off of it. I mean, it's just like this style 1148 01:08:15,270 --> 01:08:17,310 of, of interpersonal, I 1149 01:08:17,310 --> 01:08:19,650 think I think people don't just don't care about her. It's like, 1150 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:20,310 Oh, whatever. Oh, 1151 01:08:20,310 --> 01:08:23,700 yeah. No, I said, Well, that's probably true. I have two more. 1152 01:08:24,060 --> 01:08:28,830 Two more things. I just want to touch on briefly with you. The 1153 01:08:28,830 --> 01:08:32,280 big news here that no one, of course is really talking about 1154 01:08:32,310 --> 01:08:37,140 is Russia has once again they do it every winter, turned off the 1155 01:08:37,140 --> 01:08:42,960 supply of gas to the Ukraine. So the minute it goes below 1156 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:43,410 freezing. 1157 01:08:45,270 --> 01:08:47,400 Every winter, we must do this. Yes. Like, 1158 01:08:47,429 --> 01:08:51,689 oh, let's mess with those people again. Now, of course. All of 1159 01:08:51,719 --> 01:08:55,079 Europe's gas that comes from Russia, flows through the 1160 01:08:55,079 --> 01:08:59,429 Ukraine through that pipeline. And already, I've read reports 1161 01:08:59,429 --> 01:09:02,819 that there's 25% Less coming in. So it's going to send prices 1162 01:09:02,819 --> 01:09:06,449 skyrocketing Europe is you know, rightly so I think worried about 1163 01:09:06,959 --> 01:09:09,899 about these events, because, you know, we're pretty dependent 1164 01:09:09,899 --> 01:09:12,809 upon what comes out of Russia to heat the homes in the winter. 1165 01:09:15,750 --> 01:09:18,660 Well, that's what happens when you create a dependency 1166 01:09:18,690 --> 01:09:21,330 relationship. And 1167 01:09:23,730 --> 01:09:28,380 and I thought that senators were elected. That's pretty stupid. I 1168 01:09:28,380 --> 01:09:28,680 guess. 1169 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:31,500 They are elected. 1170 01:09:31,740 --> 01:09:37,770 Well, then how does it How come? Not only Obama's Senate seat is 1171 01:09:37,770 --> 01:09:42,120 being given away and why is Hillary's Senate seat being 1172 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,700 given away? Don't those people have to be elected who come in 1173 01:09:44,730 --> 01:09:47,880 white? Why does the mayor or governor whoever does 1174 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,460 convenience of the states, the states have control over those 1175 01:09:50,460 --> 01:09:52,350 seats and they create, they're the ones who set up the 1176 01:09:52,350 --> 01:09:54,720 elections and if there's a situation where they don't have 1177 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,270 representation, they don't have time for an election that 1178 01:09:57,270 --> 01:09:59,970 Governor can appointed senator and give something to Congress. 1179 01:10:00,570 --> 01:10:02,070 Through DMS all the time. 1180 01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:04,650 Well, that sucks. 1181 01:10:07,049 --> 01:10:10,319 Why does it suck? Do you have to reelect the guy? Although the PA 1182 01:10:10,319 --> 01:10:10,769 knows, 1183 01:10:11,039 --> 01:10:14,489 maybe there's a lizard? Does New York really need Caroline 1184 01:10:14,489 --> 01:10:16,619 Kennedy as the as senator? 1185 01:10:18,029 --> 01:10:22,019 I don't get the Caroline Kennedy thing either. Oh, I do. All 1186 01:10:22,019 --> 01:10:22,619 right, tell me 1187 01:10:22,830 --> 01:10:29,370 Oh, if she of course, she was a bigger dingbat, Obama sock up if 1188 01:10:29,370 --> 01:10:32,130 she wants, she's going to have front row seat at the at the 1189 01:10:32,130 --> 01:10:36,690 inauguration and she'll be at all the right balls. And she of 1190 01:10:36,690 --> 01:10:40,860 course lobbied that Ted would show up and, and endorse Obama. 1191 01:10:42,630 --> 01:10:44,760 And also could be a quid pro quo that your total 1192 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:49,530 quid pro quo in fact, Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg said, the idea 1193 01:10:49,530 --> 01:10:52,920 that we would pass up appointing someone to the Senate who was 1194 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,460 both a friend and a critical supporter of Barack Obama is 1195 01:10:56,460 --> 01:10:58,230 political malpractice. 1196 01:10:59,039 --> 01:11:04,109 Yeah, I heard that. I did. Bloomberg is an asshole. Ash 1197 01:11:08,010 --> 01:11:10,860 well, he got himself extended did me 1198 01:11:12,090 --> 01:11:15,300 Yeah, choose he did he screwed the public was unbelievable. 1199 01:11:15,300 --> 01:11:18,900 It's hilarious. Actually. You know, it's almost like Lucy and 1200 01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:21,870 the football. What did he do? What How did you screw the pub 1201 01:11:21,870 --> 01:11:24,030 like cracked out? He said immediately, we'll get back into 1202 01:11:24,060 --> 01:11:26,160 it. He's gonna raise taxes, he's gonna do this, you're gonna do 1203 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,310 that. He's gonna just, you know, stick it to him, after you know, 1204 01:11:29,310 --> 01:11:31,560 making all these kind of vague promises that he wasn't gonna do 1205 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:35,070 anything like that. Oh, he died. The state of New York is in 1206 01:11:35,070 --> 01:11:38,070 serious, serious, serious trouble. They're gonna go broke. 1207 01:11:38,700 --> 01:11:42,540 They're at new taxes, I think in New York at 1208 01:11:43,620 --> 01:11:45,540 you know, they think a lot of people don't realise it all live 1209 01:11:45,540 --> 01:11:50,520 in New York, is the fact that there's like a there's an income 1210 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:55,050 tax. The city has an income tax state has an income tax, and the 1211 01:11:55,050 --> 01:11:58,170 federal government has an income tax. So you're taxed three times 1212 01:11:58,170 --> 01:12:02,790 now, if you live in Manhattan. And when I moved, and I think 1213 01:12:02,790 --> 01:12:05,250 that by the way, that that state city income tax is pretty high. 1214 01:12:05,250 --> 01:12:07,800 I'm not sure what it is. But I'm sure someone could tell us. But 1215 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,210 it's, you know, it's non trivial. 1216 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:14,430 After we moved back from, from the States, I had a mailing 1217 01:12:14,430 --> 01:12:19,050 address with an assistant that I used to work with, and she lives 1218 01:12:19,050 --> 01:12:21,750 in New York. So I just used her New York mailing address for 1219 01:12:21,750 --> 01:12:24,870 stuff. And I got a $2 million dollar tax bill from the city of 1220 01:12:24,870 --> 01:12:31,080 New York said, Hey, you owe us $2 million. Pay Now and then 1221 01:12:31,380 --> 01:12:35,730 we'll assess how much it was later on. You know, that was a 1222 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,310 tough little nut to crack that because those guys are serious. 1223 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:45,570 And they got guns. Yeah. And it was, it was very difficult to 1224 01:12:45,570 --> 01:12:47,610 get them off your back and to say, well, this, I never 1225 01:12:47,610 --> 01:12:50,280 actually lived there. Well prove it. And by the way, pay us the 2 1226 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:50,970 million now. 1227 01:12:52,140 --> 01:12:55,800 Yeah, well, that scam is a total scam. You don't have you know, 1228 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,890 tell them to screw themselves. You're not paying them anything. 1229 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,420 Oh, they have they have enormous powers, John, they can stock 1230 01:13:03,420 --> 01:13:05,580 your pay. They can do all kinds of stuff. 1231 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,840 They can't dock your pay or in England. If it's leaving 1232 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:11,280 the United States it can. 1233 01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:17,520 It's coming from California. I don't see how they can attach 1234 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,100 it. I think it'd be a lot of trouble. There's some I don't 1235 01:13:20,100 --> 01:13:24,870 think it's easy. But whatever the case is you got out of it. 1236 01:13:25,380 --> 01:13:29,820 Yeah, no, I got out of it. Yeah. After 10 $15,000 in legal fees. 1237 01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:33,000 Sure. That's the whole scam right there. 1238 01:13:35,190 --> 01:13:36,180 That's disgusting. 1239 01:13:37,470 --> 01:13:40,080 Oh, what happens although it always seems to happen with me. 1240 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:42,810 I'm on the list. 1241 01:13:44,340 --> 01:13:46,920 Horowitz thinks that we should use people should consider 1242 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,650 shorting municipal bonds from New York. 1243 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:53,520 Oh, hell yeah. How about all the minute municipal bond market? 1244 01:13:53,700 --> 01:13:56,400 This advice is too late actually, because it just 1245 01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,720 collapsed. In I think they the 1246 01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,690 wasn't given yesterday. It was some time ago. 1247 01:14:04,169 --> 01:14:07,739 Okay, well, no. But yesterday or the day before I read on 1248 01:14:07,739 --> 01:14:10,859 Bloomberg that the the muni bonds had collapsed. They were 1249 01:14:10,859 --> 01:14:14,549 down like 12% or some outrageous number, which is big in bond 1250 01:14:14,549 --> 01:14:14,939 length. 1251 01:14:14,999 --> 01:14:17,549 That's ridiculous. To me. Bonds are supposed to be the best 1252 01:14:17,609 --> 01:14:21,239 stable savers. But they haven't been a stable or a good form of 1253 01:14:21,239 --> 01:14:23,999 investment for that since I was a kid. Yeah. 1254 01:14:25,260 --> 01:14:31,920 Not anymore. So here's what New York will do. And I Forbes wrote 1255 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:35,640 about this actually bring up that article. States consider 1256 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:42,690 selling off roads and parks. Minnesota has deepened the whole 1257 01:14:42,990 --> 01:14:45,510 pay for this with taxpayers money now you're going to sell 1258 01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:48,120 it this summer. Check it out, dude. Check it out Minnesota. 1259 01:14:48,540 --> 01:14:51,900 The state still owns a premier Golf Resort, a sprawling Amateur 1260 01:14:51,900 --> 01:14:56,280 Sports Complex, a big airport, a major Zoo, and landholdings the 1261 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,970 size of the Central American country of Belize and their cell 1262 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,680 Not at all it's for sale. Come on in. Well, maybe 1263 01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,540 they shouldn't have owned it in the first place. 1264 01:15:08,309 --> 01:15:12,029 I don't know the Tappan Zee Bridge, the Tappan Zee Bridge. 1265 01:15:14,069 --> 01:15:15,209 That's outrageous. 1266 01:15:15,450 --> 01:15:18,480 So you buy the bridge and put up a tollbooth, you can literally 1267 01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:19,860 saying the feudal times. 1268 01:15:19,980 --> 01:15:23,070 You can literally say, I got a bridge for you. I got to bridge 1269 01:15:24,450 --> 01:15:27,510 that bridge bridge. So you buy the bridge, you put up a toll 1270 01:15:27,510 --> 01:15:30,480 booth, you charge five bucks, I had to go across it. You don't 1271 01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:32,460 have to pay me you can go around. 1272 01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:37,290 Here. Democratic Governor David Paterson appointed a commission 1273 01:15:37,290 --> 01:15:39,870 to look into leasing states to state assets in New York, 1274 01:15:39,870 --> 01:15:43,290 including the Tappan Zee Bridge. The lottery while the lottery is 1275 01:15:43,290 --> 01:15:47,250 always a good one, golf courses, toll roads, parks by the mob and 1276 01:15:47,250 --> 01:15:52,140 beaches recommendations expected next month. This is crazy. 1277 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,660 Well, they're selling off the whole state. 1278 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,470 Why count is better? Yeah. Why don't we just sell the whole 1279 01:15:58,470 --> 01:16:02,160 thing in one go? Can we just bundle it up? sell to the Arabs? 1280 01:16:02,220 --> 01:16:04,950 Yeah, make the money have some let someone be king of New York. 1281 01:16:05,850 --> 01:16:09,360 Let's bring in the Dubai money and buy up New York State and 1282 01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,140 let them run the place. Let them move over here. Just caught over 1283 01:16:13,140 --> 01:16:15,570 there. And the other thing they might as well just take over the 1284 01:16:15,570 --> 01:16:18,930 state of New York should be all Arab. Isn't that outrageous? 1285 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,960 Isn't that and then they can have the little kind of a Jewish 1286 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,820 stronghold? Yeah. Oh, which actually represents the Israel 1287 01:16:26,820 --> 01:16:29,940 because it got a similar shape. And so you'd have a you'd have a 1288 01:16:29,940 --> 01:16:34,110 recreation for the amusement of everybody of the Middle East 1289 01:16:34,110 --> 01:16:37,950 crisis in New York state. So we can watch it locally 1290 01:16:37,980 --> 01:16:41,880 and check it out. So and then we have all these cameras around 1291 01:16:41,910 --> 01:16:44,100 New York City, and we can do a reality show. 1292 01:16:44,790 --> 01:16:46,350 That's what the cameras are good for. 1293 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:51,180 You can just follow random story lines, random people, it will be 1294 01:16:51,180 --> 01:16:57,330 pretty cool. So anyway, New York's got problems. But you 1295 01:16:57,330 --> 01:17:01,920 know, they're mismanaged. What do you expect? Yeah, they've 1296 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:08,640 used all the pension funds. It's nasty business. Nasty, nasty 1297 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:13,110 business. And you got anything else? 1298 01:17:13,710 --> 01:17:17,340 No, I'm, I think we hit most of the important stuff, I think. 1299 01:17:17,820 --> 01:17:20,190 Sure. Somebody wrote in and said, Hey, wants to talk about 1300 01:17:20,190 --> 01:17:22,440 this. And we didn't do it. What about our we didn't get our 1301 01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:23,190 colons? 1302 01:17:24,180 --> 01:17:28,620 Well, no, because I have to configure the router. No, I have 1303 01:17:28,620 --> 01:17:33,090 to get the voice. Here's here's one crazy thing. With Skype on 1304 01:17:33,090 --> 01:17:36,510 the Mac, it may be different on Windows. When you call someone 1305 01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:42,120 or you have a call established, then you can toggle the keypad 1306 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:47,010 so you can enter in Donald tones. I mean, see ya toggle 1307 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,790 Dialpad, so I could hopefully this won't break anything. 1308 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,170 Right? So I can do that on this call. So then if I want to call 1309 01:17:55,170 --> 01:17:57,360 into the conference, what do you toggle by the way? What is the 1310 01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:57,750 key? 1311 01:17:58,709 --> 01:18:02,429 There's a little drop down menu on your call window. It says 1312 01:18:02,429 --> 01:18:06,809 more and the down below it says toggle Dialpad. Let me see. 1313 01:18:08,039 --> 01:18:09,209 You're on Mac or Windows. 1314 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:16,080 I'm on Windows. Okay, I get more and it says play games Crazy 1315 01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,140 Talk avatar. I don't have any of that good Chinese checkers 1316 01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:23,820 wait. On the way on the window on the window itself. 1317 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,980 Where it says more let's play Chinese checkers. Chinese 1318 01:18:28,980 --> 01:18:31,380 checkers but they can't obviously dial anything. 1319 01:18:32,670 --> 01:18:36,150 But anyway, the crazy thing is if so what I wanted to do was I 1320 01:18:36,150 --> 01:18:36,840 wanted to start Wait 1321 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,850 a minute, you can send a fax that's I didn't know that 1322 01:18:38,850 --> 01:18:41,040 Anyway, go ahead. I'm sorry. No, sorry. I wanted 1323 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,940 to see you can't connect to calls together. You can't say 1324 01:18:44,940 --> 01:18:47,850 okay, I have call one here call to there. I want to conference 1325 01:18:47,850 --> 01:18:50,640 if you have to call it to set up a conference and call both 1326 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,780 numbers at the same time, which it does perfectly. So I can call 1327 01:18:54,780 --> 01:18:58,290 in call you and I could call into the conference setup. 1328 01:18:58,710 --> 01:19:02,280 Except then in the conference setup and say okay, please do 1329 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,660 your dial tones for your pass pass code. But there's no toggle 1330 01:19:06,660 --> 01:19:09,810 the dial pad at least not on the Mac client so you can't you 1331 01:19:09,810 --> 01:19:13,080 can't do it. So that's why I set up a different VoIP client which 1332 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,810 as I just said doesn't work. But it's crazy that you can't do 1333 01:19:15,810 --> 01:19:16,620 that in Skype 1334 01:19:18,180 --> 01:19:20,040 I can't do it all sit by and play chat and he's 1335 01:19:24,660 --> 01:19:25,590 so next week, I'll 1336 01:19:25,590 --> 01:19:31,680 have a simple Skype Skype or fi Outlook with sky look. Whoo. 1337 01:19:32,070 --> 01:19:33,630 Wonder what that is. That was hot. 1338 01:19:35,370 --> 01:19:37,980 What can you play Chinese checkers with me? Do I have to 1339 01:19:37,980 --> 01:19:38,640 do something? 1340 01:19:39,540 --> 01:19:44,400 Let's see. Now this is the Ignite opens up it doesn't open 1341 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:49,380 Chinese checkers it opens up the Skype extras manager and then in 1342 01:19:49,380 --> 01:19:56,310 his Chinese checkers. Click to open the plugin. Click to see 1343 01:19:56,310 --> 01:19:57,600 all available commands. 1344 01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,700 You're going to right click on that connection I'm 1345 01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:02,400 sure would recommend to a frat? No if I can I think it's gonna 1346 01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:03,930 blow up. I don't trust it. 1347 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:12,960 Don't do it. Alright, last one from Canada This isn't my never 1348 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,360 ending search to understand carbon credits, 1349 01:20:15,959 --> 01:20:18,149 though. So this is so you actually prepared for the show 1350 01:20:18,149 --> 01:20:21,389 this I always prepare for the show. Okay, you usually 1351 01:20:21,390 --> 01:20:22,920 just don't care about what I have to say. 1352 01:20:25,260 --> 01:20:26,040 So would you say 1353 01:20:29,820 --> 01:20:31,680 Grow Your Own carbon credits? 1354 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,000 Hey, you know this I'm thinking about this. I was talking with 1355 01:20:36,390 --> 01:20:41,010 my son Eric. And it was like, who does channel Dvorak by the 1356 01:20:41,010 --> 01:20:44,070 way for me and he did channel curry for you. We should 1357 01:20:44,190 --> 01:20:47,460 yeah. Oh no and I and I want to thank him last week I forgot 1358 01:20:47,460 --> 01:20:48,450 about that. Yeah channel 1359 01:20:48,510 --> 01:20:51,360 for you. You got to have to think Baba too, for putting up 1360 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,930 the show notes. Yes, it's Charlie says he will not be a 1361 01:20:54,930 --> 01:20:58,680 call screener so we can forget that. Channel. curry.com. 1362 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:02,850 Right. Yeah, yeah. So it has it's a cool page. It has all of 1363 01:21:02,850 --> 01:21:04,680 my feeds. Let me just get some 1364 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,710 other gimmicky wants to do but he has to explain it to you. 1365 01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,850 Okay. Couple of them actually. Including having your head with 1366 01:21:11,850 --> 01:21:14,040 a screen on the forehead. 1367 01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:16,590 Oh, cool. He's also he's gotten me added something. He's got me 1368 01:21:16,590 --> 01:21:20,310 vo today in there. Cool. And what is this? Now there's a 1369 01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:22,980 video window all of a sudden on Channel curry.com 1370 01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:29,640 was a good place to centralise things. Anyway, 1371 01:21:30,270 --> 01:21:34,050 it has my recent Twitter tweets. Why United States Navy 1372 01:21:34,050 --> 01:21:39,150 responsible for discharge SC what he did cool. And it has 1373 01:21:39,150 --> 01:21:42,540 ended as one big RSS for all of that. So it has a combined feed 1374 01:21:42,540 --> 01:21:44,850 as well. That's really cool. Did he use? 1375 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:48,810 He got the combined RSS thing down to a fine art? Yeah, that's 1376 01:21:48,810 --> 01:21:51,450 fantastic. Did he use my checkout code? 1377 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,530 Your checkout code had GoDaddy 1378 01:21:55,530 --> 01:21:56,520 for the domain name. 1379 01:21:57,510 --> 01:22:03,180 I don't know. I doubt it. Do that on your own time. So back 1380 01:22:03,180 --> 01:22:04,470 to Canada. Yeah. 1381 01:22:05,190 --> 01:22:07,230 Some dairy farmers are looking to the future where they can 1382 01:22:07,230 --> 01:22:08,580 make money selling carbon. 1383 01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:11,790 That brings me back to the point I was going to make yes, we need 1384 01:22:11,790 --> 01:22:14,940 to start a business where we just buy it. So there's a lot of 1385 01:22:14,940 --> 01:22:18,450 areas in Washington state where they've clear cut. And they just 1386 01:22:18,450 --> 01:22:21,120 leave it just just they just declare cut an area and they 1387 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,790 there's a little bald spot on the side of a mountain. And then 1388 01:22:23,790 --> 01:22:26,160 they there's just a bunch of crap after that. And they never 1389 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,130 and then they just abandoned it. So you buy a few acres, you 1390 01:22:29,130 --> 01:22:32,940 ripped all the logs down, you leave. And you can probably pick 1391 01:22:32,940 --> 01:22:36,810 this acreage up pretty cheaply. I'm thinking and then you plant 1392 01:22:36,810 --> 01:22:42,090 trees, and you get carbon credit. Yeah, yeah. So you set 1393 01:22:42,090 --> 01:22:44,820 up shop. And then you know, you collect all these carbon 1394 01:22:44,820 --> 01:22:48,690 credits, and you'd have to plant like 50 trees. And so you send 1395 01:22:48,690 --> 01:22:51,000 somebody up to your plant 50 trees and you there's room for 1396 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,030 probably 1000 trees to to 10,000 trees. I don't know. 1397 01:22:54,060 --> 01:22:56,070 Well, let's read through them your second let's just read 1398 01:22:56,070 --> 01:22:59,790 through the farmers get credits to follow certain farming 1399 01:22:59,790 --> 01:23:05,760 practices like zero till, which involves seeding without 1400 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:09,720 ploughing up the fields. The result is that the crops absorb 1401 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,740 carbon dioxide and the carbon stays fixed in the soil. What is 1402 01:23:13,740 --> 01:23:14,220 all this? 1403 01:23:15,090 --> 01:23:17,220 Buying? People chill for a reason. 1404 01:23:17,550 --> 01:23:22,320 They leased the credits from the farmers paying $2.38 to $5.43 1405 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:23,160 per acre 1406 01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:31,410 $5 an acre? Yeah, that sounds seem like a lot 1407 01:23:32,250 --> 01:23:34,620 like a very minut amount actually. 1408 01:23:36,630 --> 01:23:39,150 Yeah, 100 acres you get 500 bucks. Well, I guess if you had 1409 01:23:39,150 --> 01:23:42,780 10,000 acres it's better than Poklonnaya with a sharp stick 1410 01:23:42,780 --> 01:23:50,010 but there's got to be some way of getting in on this does 1411 01:23:50,010 --> 01:23:52,080 people do it if you watch the green channels watching this 1412 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:57,000 crappy green channel and I'm always gravitate toward this 1413 01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,330 stuff like it's horrible. Because it's like watching a car 1414 01:24:00,330 --> 01:24:00,750 wreck. It's 1415 01:24:00,750 --> 01:24:03,900 a thin line between love and hate John in slow motion. 1416 01:24:03,900 --> 01:24:06,390 So anyway, so they're going on in the sky he's on there. He's 1417 01:24:06,420 --> 01:24:10,020 he's at Tom, whatever his name is the guy just Funniest Home 1418 01:24:10,020 --> 01:24:13,140 Videos. He does his dinner party, Tom bears you're on his 1419 01:24:13,140 --> 01:24:15,780 dinner party. And they have a bunch of people that gather 1420 01:24:15,780 --> 01:24:18,840 around and they're all green nut balls and they go on and on 1421 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:21,150 about one thing or another and how they really like how they 1422 01:24:21,150 --> 01:24:26,670 like to have their carrots cooked. And and so it goes the 1423 01:24:26,670 --> 01:24:29,010 show goes on and then pretty soon they get into this kind of 1424 01:24:29,010 --> 01:24:32,040 like, you know, insightful discussion as it were. And this 1425 01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:35,190 one guy, Crooke Jameson, he says, You know, I was buying my 1426 01:24:35,190 --> 01:24:38,370 airline ticket and then on their on the website, there was an 1427 01:24:38,370 --> 01:24:42,780 option. Do I want to offset your carbon carbon carbon credit 1428 01:24:42,780 --> 01:24:46,200 thing? And he says I did it and it costs me like for my ticket 1429 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:50,730 to New York, it costs me dollars to offset the carbon credit and 1430 01:24:50,730 --> 01:24:54,960 they felt really good about it. It was painless, thing and 1431 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,740 painless. They just took the dollars. What you don't know 1432 01:24:59,070 --> 01:25:02,130 and where does it go? What did they do with that? $6? 1433 01:25:04,140 --> 01:25:07,350 They really I think they probably do what I'm thinking 1434 01:25:07,350 --> 01:25:11,970 which is they stick a tree in the dirt and until soil and 1435 01:25:11,970 --> 01:25:15,390 until the soil if that I mean who knows? I mean, 1436 01:25:15,539 --> 01:25:19,019 they plant the seed, they plant one seed these are $6 seed 1437 01:25:19,049 --> 01:25:21,629 that's the business we should be in. Why don't you plant your 1438 01:25:21,630 --> 01:25:22,620 own seed 1439 01:25:22,650 --> 01:25:25,800 now? Why don't we just find out a place that yeah, so Canada 1440 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:29,160 clearly is not worth it. But I'm sure there's going to be other 1441 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,400 places and you should be able to this there's gonna be tonnes of 1442 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,400 scams we can get in on where you plant the CM it's 1443 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,820 not a scam Adam it's not a scam if we're saving the Earth 1444 01:25:39,270 --> 01:25:41,310 the first time you've used my name on the show 1445 01:25:43,650 --> 01:25:50,190 well beware so anyway we need to you right we need to find some 1446 01:25:50,190 --> 01:25:52,770 but I'm thinking you know there's I think planting trees 1447 01:25:52,770 --> 01:25:56,340 is it has to be done anyway and might as well you know get a 1448 01:25:56,340 --> 01:26:00,870 carbon credit for it. What's what is a tree worth in carbon 1449 01:26:00,870 --> 01:26:01,950 credit dollars? 1450 01:26:02,610 --> 01:26:12,240 Let's ask let's ask Google what is a tree worth in carbon credit 1451 01:26:12,270 --> 01:26:12,990 dollars 1452 01:26:13,710 --> 01:26:17,310 and what about this for an idea? You buy one of those Christmas 1453 01:26:17,310 --> 01:26:24,030 tree farms and then you close it Yeah, people can't chop down the 1454 01:26:24,030 --> 01:26:25,890 tree Yeah, that's 1455 01:26:25,890 --> 01:26:27,930 um but I bet you that cost a lot of money resell 1456 01:26:27,930 --> 01:26:28,830 it as a carbon credit 1457 01:26:30,270 --> 01:26:32,340 I'm just gonna be look I'm just gonna be on the lookout for 1458 01:26:32,340 --> 01:26:36,930 carbon credits everywhere What is the carbon oh this is 1459 01:26:36,930 --> 01:26:46,410 interesting six trees $300 What Wait a minute that doesn't make 1460 01:26:46,410 --> 01:26:51,360 sense. Hold on. Wow, what is this? What is the cart This is 1461 01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,600 an interesting sight is true definition is the ESO or 1462 01:26:54,600 --> 01:27:00,600 exchange soil offset? Or more popularly? Yeah, hold on. This 1463 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,020 is This is Oh, this is good information. They talk about oh 1464 01:27:04,020 --> 01:27:04,290 man, 1465 01:27:04,290 --> 01:27:06,960 hold on you like this?

Today is the first day of a new currency that 1468 01:27:11,850 --> 01:27:14,370 is very much like the real carbon credit note the word 1469 01:27:14,370 --> 01:27:17,970 currency. The Save the save the planet carbon credit is 1470 01:27:17,970 --> 01:27:23,220 officially launched this day, September 1 2005. To a less than 1471 01:27:23,220 --> 01:27:26,700 rapturous welcome from all who use her. Let's call them 1472 01:27:26,700 --> 01:27:29,040 credits, because in science fiction films credits are the 1473 01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:33,300 currency of the future anyway, yeah, no shit. The 20 credit 1474 01:27:33,300 --> 01:27:36,330 note would be entitled The holder to drive for 20 weeks of 1475 01:27:36,330 --> 01:27:40,020 current tech, not at current technology levels. I believe 1476 01:27:40,020 --> 01:27:43,110 this is really where we're going. I don't know if you seen 1477 01:27:43,110 --> 01:27:45,210 this picture of the 20 carbon credit note. 1478 01:27:46,830 --> 01:27:50,250 Zealand site, you have a 20 Credit Karma, which is probably 1479 01:27:50,250 --> 01:27:53,730 what the thing would look like. Except for the watermark that 1480 01:27:53,730 --> 01:27:57,030 says save the planet. And I liked it. I liked the power 1481 01:27:57,030 --> 01:27:57,510 lines. 1482 01:27:57,540 --> 01:27:59,490 You'd like that little pylons there. 1483 01:28:01,470 --> 01:28:03,690 To Larry larious. I'll blog it for anybody 1484 01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,210 in this little little map there of what looks like Busch 1485 01:28:06,210 --> 01:28:12,090 Gardens. That's funny. Is this for Rio that look at the back 1486 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:16,380 the back has two windmills, two wind turbines pay the bearer 20 1487 01:28:16,380 --> 01:28:19,980 weeks driving in return for 20 carbon credits 1488 01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:22,320 cool Where'd you get the back I don't see the back scroll down. 1489 01:28:24,270 --> 01:28:28,050 According to Tufts, an average 25 year old maple tree absorbs 1490 01:28:28,260 --> 01:28:33,960 two point 50 to one 1.1 kilo of co2 per year over 25 years at 1491 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:38,760 27.5 kilos means that 36 trees are needed to absorb one tonne 1492 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:43,050 of co2 and with each tree costing $50 Each carbon credit 1493 01:28:43,050 --> 01:28:48,300 should cost at least 50 times 36 trees is $1,800 otherwise 1494 01:28:48,300 --> 01:28:52,350 there's more value in felling the trees using these trees to 1495 01:28:52,350 --> 01:28:55,140 give estimates to their carbon value gives very expensive 1496 01:28:55,140 --> 01:28:56,640 carbon credit prices 1497 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:06,120 man we had this year this warrants some 1498 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,440 investigation actually, 1499 01:29:07,530 --> 01:29:08,370 I think so 1500 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:12,120 it's gonna take a little bit well get used to it. I like a yo 1501 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,220 I'm gonna carry a couple of these around on my wall I'm 1502 01:29:14,220 --> 01:29:15,690 going to print them and cut on people there's 1503 01:29:15,749 --> 01:29:18,989 there's not a lot of people working in manufacturing. You 1504 01:29:18,989 --> 01:29:22,889 know, you get you put you put a shack up on about 500 acres in 1505 01:29:22,889 --> 01:29:26,339 the Washington State mountains and that you own that you pick 1506 01:29:26,339 --> 01:29:30,449 up cheap or you lease and you put a shack up there and put 1507 01:29:30,449 --> 01:29:33,299 some guy in there with with a one of those little shovels 1508 01:29:33,299 --> 01:29:36,359 together with twisting up a poke a hole in the ground, you twist 1509 01:29:36,359 --> 01:29:42,569 and you pull out a kind of a cork pops out of dirt and you 1510 01:29:42,569 --> 01:29:45,929 stick a tree in there. And you then this will be this guy's job 1511 01:29:45,929 --> 01:29:48,449 and you know instead of working at a factory and making products 1512 01:29:49,019 --> 01:29:55,769 and you can pay him so you have a computer up there and you send 1513 01:29:55,769 --> 01:29:57,959 him that many carbon credits and he has to plant the trees and 1514 01:29:57,959 --> 01:30:00,629 you have an inspector go up there so it's official Make sure 1515 01:30:00,629 --> 01:30:02,939 he's actually doing it. And 1516 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:07,800 you know what I think for 2009 That should be our task, we need 1517 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:12,660 to find a carbon offset based business that we can sell to 1518 01:30:12,750 --> 01:30:17,880 sell to our listeners. Or whoever. Here, we're not gonna 1519 01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,010 we'll do that without can't we do that with T shirts is like, 1520 01:30:20,010 --> 01:30:22,440 we'll attach a carbon credit to it somehow. 1521 01:30:23,460 --> 01:30:26,850 And carbon credit, it's good. Yeah, of course we could 1522 01:30:26,850 --> 01:30:31,920 gimmick. Yeah. All right, one carbon credit t shirt. Actually, 1523 01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,920 we'd have to actually wait. The trees are what they are, we can 1524 01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:39,840 probably plant one tree in my backyard. And in attach that to 1525 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,930 the T shirts, and that would be probably make up for all the T 1526 01:30:42,930 --> 01:30:43,830 shirts. We're going to sell. 1527 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:51,720 Oops, sorry about that. Okay. All right. 1528 01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:52,950 Enough frivolity. 1529 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:57,960 Yes, indeed, an hour and a half hour and 42. How do we get away 1530 01:30:57,960 --> 01:30:58,350 with it? A 1531 01:30:58,980 --> 01:31:01,830 lot of it was probably at the beginning when we were trying to 1532 01:31:01,830 --> 01:31:02,280 set up 1533 01:31:05,190 --> 01:31:11,820 Not really. So next week, we'll try some phone calls. And then 1534 01:31:11,820 --> 01:31:16,170 I'll be ready to do it with you every single day John Diego, we 1535 01:31:16,170 --> 01:31:20,040 should just go live do an hour, take some calls, and then stop. 1536 01:31:20,430 --> 01:31:22,680 Either that I'm gonna do it by myself with a daily source code. 1537 01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:24,870 I might I might do. I might do two shows a day. 1538 01:31:25,500 --> 01:31:28,740 You could do nothing but you got nothing but gabbing. Yeah. 1539 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:35,460 The gift of gab.
