152 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Where in a lot of shit can happen in a whole year. 153 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Look at how fast podcasting took off. 154 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000 You know, just a couple months. 155 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Of course, it'd been brewing for years. 156 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000 But you get, you get my, my drift there. 157 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:44,000 And he can't really talk about, and he can't promote the subscription nature of the service that he's moving to on his own radio show. 158 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Which is just one of the many things he can't talk about. 159 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000 So, you know, it's, it's a, it's very frustrating for him. 160 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000 I'm sure. 161 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 So, if I just compile all the data in my head and I didn't take notes, but I did watch very closely. 162 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 And Patricia was sitting on the couch next to me, by the way, saying, 163 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000 God damn, he'd be perfect for podcasting, like, uh-huh. 164 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000 And in fact, he's doing that. 165 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000 He's moving over to a podcast model, a subscription model. 166 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 And I potter kind of model, although it's not. 167 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Because serious radio will still be live radio. 168 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000 When Howard Stern is broadcasting, less it's a best of, it'll be broadcast live, 169 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000 and you'll have to be in your car at that moment to receive it. 170 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000 And I specifically say, car, because that's pretty much where serious works the best right now. 171 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000 And this was one of the sad things is that besides the fact that Howard, for the next year, 172 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000 will have to go on all kinds of external media, which he always, you know, 173 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000 didn't do. 174 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000 He refused to do interviews except for David Letterman, of course, and the odd line of appearance. 175 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000 And of course, he, he'd do appearances, but he'd like to pick and choose him. 176 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000 And now I think he, you know, part of the deal is that he does have to promote this. 177 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000 He's trying to get people to subscribe to serious radio, uh, this Christmas season. 178 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 I don't know if that helped or not. 179 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000 They have about 750,000 subscribers. 180 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000 And what he did, and this is the part that really freaked me out. 181 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000 He said, you know, I brought something day. 182 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000 This is for you, because serious is not just for the car anymore. 183 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000 It's also for at home. 184 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000 And he, and he picks up from behind the chair. 185 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000 This blue boom box. 186 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000 It could have been made by Philips. 187 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000 I swear to God, it was so freaking ugly. 188 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Um, with, you know, the two round speakers had a little bow on it. 189 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000 And he says, this is it. 190 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000 You know, you can receive serious radio in your, uh, in your kitchen or in your living room. 191 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Like my god, the man actually has to sell the freaking boxes. 192 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000 This is sad. 193 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000 And Patricia said, and this was what I, I love her so much. 194 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000 She said, but, you know, well, why doesn't he just use the iPods?

316 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000 Bruce Willis. 317 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000 You know, here on the radio, 100,000 people perished. 318 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 And like, Jesus Christ, you know, what is this? 319 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000 What, what has been happening? 320 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000 How, how did we get to this point? 321 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000 And Michael Lopez sent me an email, said, 322 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Maybe we need to come up with some kind of emergency pod system, pod cast system. 323 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000 It says, we need one. 324 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Maybe it would be checked every five or ten minutes instead of twice or thrice daily. 325 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Could warn you of upcoming catastrophes like the tsunami and save lives. 326 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 I don't, I don't know. 327 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000 I don't think that's going to work just with the pure time shift of what we're doing. 328 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000 In fact, whenever, um, if I'm ever asked in an interview, you know, 329 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 So, well, because that's one thing reporters and journalists always will say, 330 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000 It's like, well, you know, but your news is always going to be a day late. 331 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000 And usually, I say, yeah, if we find Osama bin Laden, 332 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000 Please don't go running to your iPod because you probably won't get the news there immediately. 333 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000 In fact, I think weblogs will be much, much, much better for that. 334 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000 But the answer, I think, to the, to the whole idea of EPS is that RSS, 335 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000 really simple syndication, which is, you know, the foundation of what, 336 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000 What this distribution is all based on, 337 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000 is that is the answer to an early warning system like that. 338 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Absolutely, absolutely. And that's, and I'm sure that there's stuff out there already. 339 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000 I know there's the Amber Alert, which I subscribe to. 340 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Um, we, uh, we blogged about that a while ago, which is missing kids. 341 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Um, and I, it's like the milk carton. It's like the virtual milk carton. 342 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000 It comes through every single day. 343 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000 And what I like about the Amber Alert is they also, uh, 344 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Post when the kids have been found. You know, it's not just the horrible news 345 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000 in kids we can't find them. It's also, hey, guess what? 346 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000 That kid that was missing found the kid is alive, all as well. 347 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000 This is the sound of the day. 348 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000 To sound of the day for today, you. 349 00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:05,000 And that was the sound of the day. 350 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Toon in again tomorrow for the sound of the day. 351 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000 And my Bob, uh. 352 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000 All right. This comes from openpodcast.org. 353 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,000 And, um, if you've never checked out openpodcast.org or if you're new to podcasting 354 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000 and want to get your feet wet, this is an excellent way to do it. Openpodcast.org. 355 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Let's you call in through a phone number or email an MP3 file or just email a link 356 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000 to an MP3 file.

That's the whole point. 359 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000 And, um, it's just a great place to get stuff, um, played. 360 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Uh, it doesn't have a hell of a lot of subscribers I saw today. 361 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Only like three or 400 people who subscribe to the feed, but I'm one of them. 362 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,000 And, uh, I used to get the, uh, podcast or tap dancing news off of that all the one second. 363 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Um, also, uh, well, there's a number of things that you used to get from that feed. 364 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000 I haven't, uh, really, and it's something that the Dave said. 365 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000 He said, you know, um, I miss some things in your show, and I think it's because of the bandwidth. 366 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,000 And yes, of course, bandwidth is, is a problem, although, you know, 367 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000 I've been solving it and been learning a lot and the problem will eventually go away. 368 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000 Um, but, uh, openpodcast, I don't know, I just, I just want to make sure you know about it. 369 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Because that's, if you want to just send something out there, get some creativity flowing, 370 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000 and people will definitely respond to you. 371 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 And, uh, it's also a good place to send stuff for me to listen to because I'm back on it. 372 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000 I'm re-subscribed, um, and it's, uh, and I'm all caught up. 373 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000 So now whenever something new comes through openpodcast.org, I'll definitely, uh, catch it. 374 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000 So it's a, it's a good way to, to get your podcast chops down if, uh, if you should so wish. 375 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Um, let's see. Oh, of course, a news, uh, Ken and Squip show is, uh, is out. 376 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000 And, as usual, Ken has built a little promo for it. 377 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Hello, this is

from the Ken and Squip broadcast plaza. 382 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Is that a goat I see on the roof? 383 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000 It's Donald Trump. 384 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Oh,

presents. 387 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000 I've got a CD player right here. 388 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000 I'm about to let go. 389 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000 And, and all sorts of gifts like

probably hurt safely back in the ground. 398 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000 I asked Squip to reflect back on her holiday. 399 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000 How is your holiday? 400 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:10,000 And then we discuss how to handle that awkward situation that happens when someone gives you a horrible gift. 401 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000 Then it had this thing hanging off the end of it. 402 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000 It looked like a pork chop. 403 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Well, I said, hmm, where did you get that? 404 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000 So I can return it and get the gas. 405 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000 We also offer up in your reverent review of the very latest in religious soft toys. 406 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000 It, it, it hugging Jesus.com.

like pancake Jesus. 410 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,000 It's the ugliest piece of shit that I've ever seen in my life. 411 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Spread the love of Christ today. 412 00:21:42,000

still haven't ever resolved our dispute over the cock though. 415 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000 One of these days, we're going to have to have a cock off on the air. 416 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000

00:22:04,000 It was over that damned cock. 419 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000 I really liked my cock and you took it away. 420 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000 No, because you'll note I didn't take it away. 421 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000 It was in the last show and my cock was in the show before that. 422 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Ken? 423 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000 That didn't sound right at all. 424 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Plus, as always, we feature a great new band. 425 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000 All of this and more are in this week's Ken and Squip show. 426

same. 429 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000 That's right. 430 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000 Ken and Squip show. 431 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000 These are the two folks that used to work with me at my company. 432 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000 It's just, I love hearing them. 433 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000 All though, Ken, make the promo a little shorter. 434 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Okay,

used to go away 444 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:20,420 of medley damn that was good I love that that's actually that's probably a three or four 445 00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:31,140 boinger isn't it it's like a lot of response to little talk we had about Firefox the new 446 00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:36,660 browser from the Mozilla Foundation I guess is that from the Mozilla Foundation what's the 447 00:26:36,660 --> 00:26:42,420 open source browser and now I know how to scroll all the way to the top of the bottom of the 448 00:26:42,420 --> 00:26:49,300 page so if you want to go up or down one page if you're on like a big scrolling web page it's 449 00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:56,500 the hold on it's on your power book it's function or on your regular key it's the control key I guess 450 00:26:56,500 --> 00:27:04,020 CTRL key so arrow upper hour arrow down gives you one page if you do arrow left arrow right 451 00:27:04,020 --> 00:27:08,260 that'll take you to the top of the page all the way to the bottom of the page so now I just need to find 452 00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:17,700 out how I can actually what keyboard shortcuts can rotate through the different tabs okay and also 453 00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:24,340 people are now downloading the Firefox the optimized Firefox for G4 G5 Max whoa 454 00:27:25,220 --> 00:27:31,540 got a lot a lot of real happy people on that one man I'll tell you it's fast it's a good 455 00:27:31,540 --> 00:27:36,740 browser I'm liking it the thing I don't like of course as I have to reenter all the the form 456 00:27:36,740 --> 00:27:41,460 automated fill-in forms I love having that I use that all the time because I subscribe to stuff 457 00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:46,180 all the time with different names and numbers and data whatever and of course having to 458 00:27:46,180 --> 00:27:51,620 re-subscribe to all the sites that that I had password username pairs for but it's worth it 459 00:27:51,620 --> 00:27:57,700 I'm doing it and also thank you by the way for explaining how to import the bookmarks it's so far 460 00:27:57,700 --> 00:28:02,820 you guys have been really helped me out I really appreciate it and a more good news remember I told you 461 00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:08,420 that it seemed like David fixed his recording problem and it turned out it was the I think it's 462 00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:15,540 called replay radio that that he had installed which essentially records streams off of 463 00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:22,900 known programs predominantly NPR programs and turns those into MP3's I guess and puts him on your 464 00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:27,060 drive for kind of like an iPod or you know so you can listen to him later it's a it's a time 465 00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:32,820 shifter and he had recorded the world where the clerk boy did an interview with me at the star 466 00:28:32,820 --> 00:28:38,660 bucks in gilford and it had the same kind of gaps that people had noticed on his podcast and so 467 00:28:38,660 --> 00:28:43,220 that led him to pretty much discover that this was the problem and he uninstalled and I think he's 468 00:28:43,220 --> 00:28:47,380 fixed it but then he went on and did this awesome test while he was an amerala Texas and I knew 469 00:28:47,380 --> 00:28:51,540 he was going to amerala could I told him a couple days ago because he calls me on the road you know so it's 470 00:28:51,620 --> 00:28:58,500 around 2 p.m. and it's later at night here and we're talking and it's great the GSM connectivity 471 00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:03,540 is fricking awesome you know it's just he drives and we talk and it's the connection is great 472 00:29:03,540 --> 00:29:11,060 and it's actually cheaper for me to call Dave in Texas from cell phone to cell phone that it is 473 00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:17,940 for me to call a landline in the Netherlands just want you to know that so anyway I said you know 474 00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:23,140 I've been to amerala Texas I think I was there once when I was promoting my syndicated countdown 475 00:29:23,140 --> 00:29:29,620 radio show that Adam Curry's top 30 hit list and so the way that worked is you go to all these 476 00:29:29,620 --> 00:29:34,420 top 40 radio stations and if I made an appearance then they would run my show and basically they'd 477 00:29:34,420 --> 00:29:39,860 run my show for free but of course I would sell national commercials because it was on an x number of 478 00:29:39,860 --> 00:29:44,660 stations and I don't remember what the top 40 station was in amerala Texas but I do remember they took 479 00:29:44,660 --> 00:29:48,740 me the DJs and the program director because this happened every single town too it was like hey 480 00:29:48,740 --> 00:29:55,460 come on man I'm going to go take yad to strip joy man it's always cougars or cheetahs or you know whenever 481 00:29:55,460 --> 00:30:00,180 I said today I said I know there's an awesome strip barn amerala Texas with tumble weeds like rolling 482 00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:04,660 outside but it's it's a lot of fun on the inside and he took that to hard I guess in his test 483 00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:13,300 of his new setup this is a test I am I'm using let's see so first he's going to talk about what he 484 00:30:13,380 --> 00:30:17,380 fixed which is actually pretty important stuff because that was you know it's a bug it's a 485 00:30:17,380 --> 00:30:23,140 fucking bug in this replay radio software I guess you might Sony laptop which is the computer that I 486 00:30:23,140 --> 00:30:29,460 have out and ready to use all the way isn't it nice to hear Dave with a normal voice again and so 487 00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:35,540 that Hawking squeaky Brady bunch like voice change thing and it's nice to hear this way amiga 488 00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:44,980 I'm driving and frankly if I can get this thing to do the to you know record stuff then 489 00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:51,140 that I'm going to be able to do more podcasts while I'm on the road which I will be on the road 490 00:30:52,660 --> 00:31:01,380 excuse me for at least like the next two weeks maybe three weeks so it's a good thing to sort of 491 00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:13,940 figure out and I had a it was interesting when I recorded when Adam was on the the world with BBC 492 00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:24,660 I recorded that on this laptop using replay radio and everybody said that it had the the gaps you 493 00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:32,420 know sort of the breaks that that are typical of this computer when it does it's recordings and 494 00:31:32,420 --> 00:31:41,380 I thought well maybe the problem is the uh maybe the problem is the um the replay radio stuff 495 00:31:41,380 --> 00:31:48,020 uh yeah exactly so then Dave goes on to read like local literature exotic dancers 496 00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:56,420 sweet and personal escort for all okay hmm hmm okay how about some she males days here's 497 00:31:56,420 --> 00:32:03,620 best rate escort they might have some sweet yeah they have celebrity look like males wait is there an 498 00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:11,140 Adam curry for rent yeah that I just did that oh okay well shelly this sweet and personal it's just 499 00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:17,780 if you haven't heard this you've gotta go listen to it it's uh it's probably still uh in the RSS 500 00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:22,500 if not because scroll back to like yesterday on scripting news it's hilarious you got to listen to the 501 00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:28,180 whole thing and I think we should have a podcast about escorts and strip bars in different towns you know 502 00:32:28,180 --> 00:32:33,780 if you're going somewhere and I'm not really someone who goes to strip bars or or makes use of 503 00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:38,820 professional services such as escorts but hey there's a business there right and what where is the 504 00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:46,180 first escort podcast I have a feeling it can't be too far off I really do I was thinking to more 505 00:32:46,180 --> 00:32:51,860 about uh let me see how much time do we have shoot oh man I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave that thought 506 00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:56,260 for tomorrow that'll be good it'll be a that's a great think on it's Friday uh thought okay 507 00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:04,980 back to well let's talk about the tsunami disaster for a moment there's some emails that came in 508 00:33:05,060 --> 00:33:08,820 all stuff that is pertinent to the conversation that you'll find in the production show notes 509 00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:15,140 certainly from hell's bellboy who sent me an email and listed actually a number of 510 00:33:16,020 --> 00:33:23,700 horrible disasters typhoon and tsunami related disasters that have taken place in the region for instance 511 00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:31,380 November 13th 1970 a massive typhoon hits Bangladesh 24th tidal wave struck the shores of the 512 00:33:31,380 --> 00:33:39,540 gangest delta November 13th uh wreaking lethal damage 120 per a mile per hour cyclone more than 513 00:33:39,540 --> 00:33:47,940 an estimated 100,000 dead 150,000 uh total of 150,000 dead the centuries largest disaster and he 514 00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:56,100 goes on to list a couple more and I guess well hey it's just um interesting to you know to go back and 515 00:33:56,100 --> 00:34:02,180 look at history and probably also you know this is what what most television broadcasts are gonna 516 00:34:02,180 --> 00:34:06,820 start doing themselves and they're gonna go back and see if they can get footage from 1970 etc but 517 00:34:06,820 --> 00:34:11,860 uh we have had these events you know these horrific events and it does seem they just they do seem 518 00:34:11,860 --> 00:34:20,420 to kind of fade from from memory after a while don't they which is I presume human nature I guess that's 519 00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:28,980 kind of normal I also asked um the uh actually there's uh I said you know so I said what what can we do 520 00:34:28,980 --> 00:34:37,060 what is the best thing to do a lot of people pointed me to city.org cidi.org which is the center for 521 00:34:37,060 --> 00:34:41,060 international disaster information they've actually got an MP3 out there which's gonna play for you 522 00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:46,100 right now and which they tell you what they'd like you to do and how you can best help uh the victims 523 00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:51,060 them countless victims of this horrible disaster. Humanitarian groups need your help in southern Asia 524 00:34:51,060 --> 00:34:55,940 I'm John Butler thousands of people have been killed and many thousands more are injured or left 525 00:34:55,940 --> 00:35:01,300 homeless in nine countries across southern Asia the tsunami touched off by the most powerful earthquake 526 00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:06,980 in four decades ranks as one of the most devastating disasters in history. Americans wanting to help 527 00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:12,180 maybe tempted to send food or blankets but caches the best way to help those affected by the tsunami 528 00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:18,020 Suzanne Brooks director of the center for international disaster information cidi explains why 529 00:35:18,020 --> 00:35:24,340 caches best. Cash offers relief agents is the most flexibility with cash disaster relief 530 00:35:24,340 --> 00:35:30,420 professionals can work directly with those affected by disasters to get out exactly what is needed 531 00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:35,940 such as medicine and food quickly. Before collecting anything individuals looking to donate should 532 00:35:36,020 --> 00:35:44,100 contact an established relief organization for more log on to cidi.org or usad.gov or go to 533 00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:49,620 interaction.org and click on the guide to appropriate giving. I can I tell you as uh oh let me just 534 00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:56,340 reset one second as a helicopter pilot man I wish I could help you know I think I really could I 535 00:35:56,340 --> 00:36:00,980 I'm I'm good at that stuff I'm good at hovering and and getting people out and I know how the 536 00:36:00,980 --> 00:36:05,140 winch works and I can work with the winchmen but I'm sure they don't need my help in that 537 00:36:05,140 --> 00:36:12,180 regard there so I send cash and it seems that everyone around the world is doing that much much more 538 00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:16,820 than governments are actually pointing out it's really the citizens which is beautiful to see 539 00:36:16,820 --> 00:36:22,100 and also asked uh in yesterday's podcast you know for all the god podcasters i said who's god did 540 00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:26,020 this you know what is the point why you know could you please explain that to me which of course 541 00:36:26,020 --> 00:36:30,260 is a question that's unfair to ask but you know it's shit it's my podcast and I did get some 542 00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:37,380 responses to that and the many god i call them godcasters well let's say religious podcasters 543 00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:43,220 have um have commented on this and have made note of it and uh I've linked to some of those 544 00:36:43,220 --> 00:36:53,540 in the production show notes but also uh Rick um from i see him raw um he sent me a 545 00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:59,540 comment well I'll play it for you right now because he did respond well listen up check this out 546 00:36:59,620 --> 00:37:04,020 hey Adam Rick was with it's here for my see him raw you asked the godcasters to comment 547 00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:10,500 on the horrible tragedy that occurred in the Indian Ocean this week and uh I'm not sure why 548 00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:18,180 it occurred but I do want to share a couple of verses job 2 10 it says show me indeed except good 549 00:37:18,180 --> 00:37:25,300 from god and not except adversity and uh job 42 2 says I know that you can do all things and he's 550 00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:32,180 referring to god here and then no purpose of yours can be thwarted 68 thousand lives is uh he's 551 00:37:32,180 --> 00:37:37,860 a lot of lives and I'm not sure why the Lord allowed it but it does say in job 1 21 that the Lord 552 00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:44,180 is given and the Lord takes away blessed be the name of the Lord so I think what it really comes 553 00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:50,020 down to is how are we who are left gonna respond I feel the same thing occurred after the 554 00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:56,340 World Trade Center and uh to those who are uh who have died in Iraq how are we who are left 555 00:37:56,340 --> 00:38:02,020 going to react how are we gonna show love to those who are in mourning and for those who 556 00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:08,980 who are hurt and for those who are uh who are left how are we gonna respond and I think what it 557 00:38:08,980 --> 00:38:14,740 really comes down to is we who are left needs to respond with love love maybe giving money love 558 00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:21,940 maybe consoling a family member who is lost someone how are we gonna show love to those who are 559 00:38:21,940 --> 00:38:28,020 left today and uh I think that's how how the Lord wants us to respond as well with your in the 560 00:38:28,020 --> 00:38:34,260 podcast thanks great Rick Rick requires the way it's uh Weswitz from uh ICM raw podcast um okay I'm 561 00:38:34,260 --> 00:38:40,260 not uh I'm not religious in that regard don't believe in god in the way uh Rick may or uh other people may 562 00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:46,420 who and maybe you listening to this podcast but I do believe that um it is up to us from a 563 00:38:46,420 --> 00:38:52,180 civility standpoint is Tony Khan would say from mourning stories from the podcast is um how do we 564 00:38:52,180 --> 00:38:57,300 respond how are we going to love the people um that are hurt by this uh that is probably a challenge 565 00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:01,860 and there is probably a reason for that most things do happen for a reason I found so there is a reason 566 00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:07,780 for this and maybe it's just a focus all of us and uh to say hey you know uh you think Iraq is bad 567 00:39:08,340 --> 00:39:12,020 maybe this is if if there was a god right and you went are you think this Iraq staff is bad 568 00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:18,180 let me show I can do now pfff the fuckers and maybe we should wake up and say damn you know this 569 00:39:18,180 --> 00:39:24,500 Iraq shit is stupid is it stupid you know and what is it for is it for hundreds of thousands of people 570 00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:30,660 who've been affected by something or is it is it for a handful of people who are looking for 571 00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:36,980 some spoils of something no that's not for me to decide um also a lot of people of um kind of 572 00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:41,060 put out a call to actions saying hey why don't we do like a telephone you know try and raise money 573 00:39:41,860 --> 00:39:47,540 yes I think clearly you know me telling you uh playing these bits from cidid.org 574 00:39:48,580 --> 00:39:53,220 and and pointing on web logs etc to different places we can donate money this is clearly 575 00:39:54,580 --> 00:39:59,060 something that podcasters can help out with I don't think we need to have some kind of like special 576 00:39:59,060 --> 00:40:04,340 podcasse telephone to track it all because we know people are going to give money and we know that 577 00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:09,780 they're going to give as much as they can and I quite honestly I just don't see you know any other reason to 578 00:40:09,780 --> 00:40:13,860 track that through a podcasse and they say oh look at how much we raise with our incredibly powerful 579 00:40:13,860 --> 00:40:18,660 medium I don't think that's necessary because I know how powerful it is we can raise 1500 bucks 580 00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:25,300 amongst a couple of podcasse listeners you know for for Lee and Jenny's dogs I'm sure we're doing 581 00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:32,980 pretty good with with the tsunami relief okay I'm gonna go a little bit long today but I got to 582 00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:37,620 because yesterday I promise I was gonna play this song and I like it so much it is from 583 00:40:37,620 --> 00:40:43,060 Barry Corals Confessions of an indie girl brand new find it Barry Coral dot com but it's an 584 00:40:43,060 -->
