1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Transmidders, we don't need no stinkin' transmitters.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Oh god, we're casting with Adam Curry.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Hey, finally, a source code.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
It still exists.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Hey, everybody, how you doing?

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Coming to you from Curry Cottage.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Yeah, I got lots to talk about because we are still not connected.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
But we don't need no stinkin' transmitters.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
We got the podcast.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
That's right.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Your source code for Thursday, January 13th, 2000.

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Whoah, boy.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
My goodness.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
That's all you.

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
It's been quite a few days.

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Last time we spoke was Monday, which was was it.

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
That was the temp.

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
That was the last podcast from South Beach in Florida.

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Since then, I have been, well, pretty much in transit.

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
My back just aches from sitting on airplanes, sitting in cars,

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
and doing anything with actually exercise.

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And of course, it's a throwback to the motorcycle accident.

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And you've got to exercise that shit.

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
You know what I'm saying?

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
No matter what, 40 minutes for you on the source code.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Let me see, what is it?

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I'm trying to think what's best to start off with.

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Well, maybe I just tell you a little bit about the trip

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
where I've been, why I've not actually been able to record a source code.

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
I got to tell you that I actually did have a chance doing that yesterday.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And the car as I post on curry dot com with taxi Eric,

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
as I was going from Amsterdam to Antwerp to close on the sale of the castle.

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
But I was just so tired.

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I've been sleeping.

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
I'm like a super model now.

38
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
You know, not eating.

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Sleeping everywhere I can.

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Every limo.

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Well, shoot.

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
I forgot.

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
I don't have any limo.

44
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
That's overrated.

45
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Okay.

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So left Monday after winging by the apple store to pick up an ice skin for Christina's iPod Mini,

47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
because apparently they're all sold out here in the area.

48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And I didn't know there was an apple store in the area in the Gilbert area.

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And then went off to the to the airport.

50
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Of course, my flight was delayed.

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
But what was cool is that I guess that's this is probably the perfect time.

52
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Maybe here's the secret to British airways.

53
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
If you want to get an upgrade.

54
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
First of all, you've got to travel at the right time of year, which around Christmas

55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
time with a winter time to Miami is clearly a very desirable time to fly.

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
The tickets.

57
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
I got the world traveler, which is like economy, but economy plus so that if you want to, you can

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
change your ticket.

59
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Which I thought might, you know, could actually be one of the possibilities being in

60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
South Beach and the meetings we were having.

61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
There was a possibility maybe we'd go up to New York or maybe I'd go directly back

62
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
to Antwerp, which of course didn't work out that way.

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
I had to go a day later, which screwed it up.

64
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
So anyway, what you want to do is you want to have that world traveler so that you are

65
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
the first in line before the real economy tickets.

66
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
If there's an upgrade possibility.

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And combined with the fact that it's in the winter time and everyone wants to fly

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
to Miami or it's flying back or it's traveling to and from Miami.

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
They're overselling the economy seats.

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
So if you were calling on the way over, I got upgraded to first class on the way back.

71
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I got upgraded to business class or club as they call it on British Air.

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And that means that you do get a sleeper seat, which is not quite this.

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
It used to be different.

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
I remember the first class sleeper seats and you get like a little mattress.

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
They put down for you and they put sheets in and they folded back and you get

76
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
little pajamas.

77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
This is when they had, I don't know if you care about this shit.

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
But it was interesting.

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
They had a for a while.

80
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
This great offer.

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
You could fly with the Concord from London to New York and return first class on the sleeper

82
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
seat on the 747, which is the overnight flight.

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
For a total of, I think, if I was, this was back in the, so this was 90.

84
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Most of this was 90.

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
No, this was 2000.

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Maybe.

87
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Well, before they took the Concord out, maybe it was a little bit before that.

88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
But it was no more than like, I think it was $4,000.

89
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And of course, this is pretty all the new pricing and all these wonderful airport taxes.

90
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Please don't, don't think it's a fucking tax from the government.

91
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Okay.

92
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
It's just a way of airlines sucking more money out of you and pretending it's something

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
due to the government by calling it a tax, which it's not.

94
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
It's just landing fees and more costs that they're writing off as a tax.

95
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
That's what they're telling you.

96
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Oh, yeah, sure.

97
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
They have to pay the airport of fee.

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
I mean, that's always been that way.

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You always have to pay the airport of fee per passenger or per weight of the plane.

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
If I land with a rinketing plane, I also have to pay a fee.

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
But now they're basically just passing it onto you and calling it a tax.

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Anyway, so don't get me started again on that.

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
But the, so it's not comparable to what it used to be.

104
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
But still, it was nice to lay down almost completely vertical.

105
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
And I almost fit entirely between the footrest and the headrest.

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
So it was better than nothing.

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
But arrive needless to say a little bit, you know, broken.

108
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I am 517 after all.

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And there was no lovely little, what do you call it?

110
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Mattress to lay on.

111
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And of course, you know, it's an overnight flight.

112
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
This is the jet lag flight, right?

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
So I got home and there's all kinds of crap going on with the, with the closing of the house,

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
which was the next day and Antwerp and there was like a taxation issue.

115
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
I mean, you don't want to come home after that flight and have to talk taxation issues.

116
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And then of course, as it sold, then Christina's horse princess or pony actually,

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
it has to be brought over.

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
So that's this Friday.

119
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
And so just all kinds of things to coordinate.

120
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
My god.

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
What horrible things to have to coordinate.

122
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I'm not really complaining.

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I'm just letting me in my life.

124
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Okay.

125
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And then the next day, I was up early to go to Antwerp.

126
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
And the only choices I had were drive two hours almost to London City,

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
which has a direct flight on the VLM Airlines to Antwerp.

128
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Or go to Gatwick.

129
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Actually, yeah, go to Gatwick.

130
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
And then I had taxi Eric drive me down, which is probably about an hour and 15 minutes.

131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
And of course, an hour and 15 minutes back.

132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And I was able to see a couple other people on the way, such as my friend's purple rain in Brida.

133
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Remember I've spoken about them, my Moroccan friend.

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
And I wanted to talk a little bit about actually about easy jet.

135
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
But first, oh yes.

136
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Of course, we've got some cadence for you.

137
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And I apologize in advance.

138
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
I have not been very good with my show notes.

139
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
I had kept this one because I knew that I wanted to play it.

140
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
But not quite sure where I got it from.

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
It's called testicular fortitude.

142
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Enjoy.

143
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
45 minutes or 45 seconds of cadence.

144
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Just good enough.

145
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Well, I support out.

146
00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:48,750
[ Music ]

147
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
I just don't know where it came from.

148
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
And of course, the title of that reminds me of the my pods forecast, which I played a couple of.

149
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Well, maybe a week and a half ago.

150
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:12,000
It's the podcaster that does stock picks and most recently lottery numbers.

151
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
By consulting his testicles.

152
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Shoot man.

153
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
I got to find that.

154
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
It's coming through on openpodcast.org.

155
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
But I think if you go to my podsforcast.com.

156
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And actually, what's most amazing is the math that he uses behind coming up with the yes,

157
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
no path to finding out the path to choosing numbers.

158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Please listen to that.

159
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
It will be well worth the time.

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
So about easy jet.

161
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
I never actually flown on easy jet.

162
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
And this is a very short hop to go from London to Amsterdam.

163
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000
It's about, I can totally guess you really know flying no more than maybe 35, 40 minutes.

164
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Of course, the, let's just say in our altogether, depending.

165
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And that's really from takeoff to landing.

166
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And it just depends on, you know, road and weather conditions, obviously.

167
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
And I'd been on British Airways.

168
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
And I'd done KLM, of course.

169
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
And as I was reserving this trip.

170
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
And I was doing that in South Beach.

171
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
I was looking at the ticket prices.

172
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
And, you know, of course, what happens is when you do a round trip.

173
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
You book on January 12th to go to Amsterdam and return January 12th.

174
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
So all of a sudden, for some reason, I guess you're positioned as a business customer.

175
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
And your, your coach fair ticket.

176
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Your coach ticket fair is like 300 pounds.

177
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
You know, that's close to 500 dollars.

178
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Like, I don't fucking think so.

179
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
So then, of course, I tried to beat the system by booking one way.

180
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Or booking January 12th is going over.

181
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
And some ridiculous date, like February 20th coming back.

182
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
And I saw the, of course, the trip over was all of a sudden, only 40 pounds.

183
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
And then I, of course, tried to do the reverse.

184
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
And, well, they do kind of catch on that.

185
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
You know, where I then booked a trip back from the 12th.

186
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Or from the 12th to London and a return trip.

187
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
And a much later date, but they, they kind of catch on that.

188
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
But it doesn't really work.

189
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
So I said, screw it.

190
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
You know, and I, and I checked a couple other airlines.

191
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
What is it to be in my British Midland?

192
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
And they were.

193
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
So that was still 180 pounds.

194
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
So 250 dollars.

195
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And I just, this became a sport.

196
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
You know, it actually has become a sport.

197
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Because I really don't give a shit.

198
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
You know, if I'm flying in the toilet, or if I'm actually flying the plane,

199
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
which I couldn't with this, these particular models.

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
But, you know, I just want to do it efficiently and effectively.

201
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And, and the game is to do it cheaply.

202
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
So I looked up easy jet, which had never really flown.

203
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
And they have a flight from Gatway to Amsterdam.

204
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
And the total price round trip with the times that I was going.

205
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
So I'd left around 11 of an even in the end.

206
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Whoops.

207
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Did we hear that?

208
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
That was kind of funky.

209
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Thank God for digital recording.

210
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
So left around 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

211
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Was it Tuesday?

212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Wednesday?

213
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Sorry.

214
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
I'm so confused.

215
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Left little 11 a.m.

216
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
And returned on the quarter of ten or five to ten p.m.

217
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
same day.

218
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000
And so the total was about 80 pounds, which I thought was really good.

219
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And so I went to the airport.

220
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
You know, all you do is just show up with your printout.

221
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
You don't even have to do that.

222
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
You can just say your name, show your ID.

223
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
And you don't even have a confirmation number.

224
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Or you do, but you don't need it.

225
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Give it a boarding pass.

226
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And it's just, it's a really nice experience.

227
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
All the way from, you know, going to the lounge.

228
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
And everyone's the same, right?

229
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
There's no, no one gets preference over anything.

230
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
There is a number on your ticket, which is a labeled like,

231
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
you know, one to, well, depending on the size of the plane.

232
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Maybe a hundred, let's just say.

233
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
So you can say, you know, people with the numbers one to 50,

234
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
you know, could you please start boarding now and about two minutes later.

235
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
It's just crowd control, basically, to get you to line up nicely.

236
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
But there's really no checking.

237
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
You know, they don't have to go through any real computer systems,

238
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
looking at spots where you're sitting, because there's no reserved seating.

239
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Everything is all the same.

240
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,000
And when you get on the plane, a couple of things I noticed right off the bat,

241
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:22,000
because the whole intent of this service is to be like a bus.

242
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
And it is just like a bus.

243
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
There's three rows on the right hand side, three rows on the left hand side.

244
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
It's a very broad plane.

245
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
And it actually, well, go figure, it is the Airbus 319.

246
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
That's the model that we flew.

247
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
It's really comfortable to walk in.

248
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
You don't have to crouch or anything.

249
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Certainly for tall people like myself.

250
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
There's plenty of storage space.

251
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
There's just no, no frills, no thrills, right?

252
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
It's just seats, right in left, three, three, everything's three.

253
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
There's no two seaters, no one.

254
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
There's no single, actually, the exit row.

255
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I take that back.

256
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
The exit row does have a little bit more space,

257
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
but you can't move your chair back.

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
So you want to avoid the exit rows.

259
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
But for some reason, because you know that you're guaranteed absolutely no service,

260
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
because that's the deal, right?

261
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
You get no service.

262
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
There's just, you know, we're going to help you on.

263
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
We're going to keep you safe.

264
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And the girls are great.

265
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
The cabin crew, I only had stewardesses or flight attendants,

266
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
female, both going and coming.

267
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
I don't know if they have a male flight attendants.

268
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I'm sure they must.

269
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Totally nice.

270
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Because all they have to do is basically keep you safe.

271
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
So they're smiling and they help you sit down.

272
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
They just have to make sure you get your seat belt buckled.

273
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
And otherwise, there's nothing.

274
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Of course, when you're in the air, then they say,

275
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000
hey, would you like to purchase a drink?

276
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
So they don't come through the aisle.

277
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
They just say, look, if you want some of the drink,

278
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
or something to eat, just turn on your overhead light.

279
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
And then also in the old jump in actions,

280
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
there's maybe five flight attendants.

281
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
And they just run back and forth real quick,

282
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
get you whatever you want.

283
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
And they give you a chance you pay to pay for it.

284
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
So I think I bought a tea and a big cheese and tomato.

285
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
You say tomato, I said tomato.

286
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
I said tomato now.

287
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
A tomato sandwich was like four pounds,

288
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
50 altogether.

289
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
I guess cheaper than if it's actually built into the price of the ticket,

290
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
clearly.

291
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And then when that's all over,

292
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
when they've delivered everyone,

293
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
whatever they purchase,

294
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
then it's very simple for them, right?

295
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
They don't have to really prepare anything.

296
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Then they come by with a big trash bag,

297
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
and everyone just chips in and throws your shit into the trash bag.

298
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
They've also passed out the company magazine,

299
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
which they come back and collect.

300
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
So that's where a lot of the savings come in.

301
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
You know, it's not like you.

302
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
You don't, I think I guess you could take the magazine with you if you wanted,

303
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000
but basically the operation just really smart, really tight.

304
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000
And there's something about knowing that you're not going to get any service,

305
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
and knowing that the flight attendants don't have to provide any service,

306
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
which just makes it great.

307
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
You know, it's like it's, you know,

308
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
I'm not expecting anything,

309
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
if I get a smile, I'm already happy,

310
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
and let's be honest.

311
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
You don't get them any fucking smiles from first-class flight attendants.

312
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
You know, I'm liking it.

313
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Those Steve Ross, what is it,

314
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
set the guys name?

315
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
George, Jorge, George, Steve Ross.

316
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Shit, I should look his name up.

317
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Ah, of course I can't get on the internet right now.

318
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Yeah, let's talk about that for a second.

319
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
So anyway, easy jet, fantastic.

320
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
I don't know what it would be like to travel more than two and a half hours,

321
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
if it was really packed, but I, I'm going to tell you,

322
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
I'm going to do that, I'm going to, this is a great formula.

323
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And it has a lot to do with the way the plane is configured as well.

324
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
It's not just the cheap tickets.

325
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Oh, and by the way, their tax is interesting.

326
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
You'd think that if it really was a tax,

327
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
all tax would be the same.

328
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
No, you can fly the same distance,

329
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
this from London to Amsterdam with the KLM.

330
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Their tax is 44 pounds.

331
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Easy jet's tax is only 10 pounds.

332
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
You know why?

333
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Because it's horseshit.

334
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
It's not a real tax.

335
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Okay?

336
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
It's a fucking rip off.

337
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Just say, you know, we're charging you for our overhead.

338
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Okay.

339
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
I tried to stop by a wing commander Williams place on the,

340
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
on the trip back from Antwerp.

341
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
I really wanted to drop by, but everything took so long.

342
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
And you know, house closing sometimes can just be a,

343
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
yeah, it's not a pain in the asses.

344
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Of course I'm happy, but just, you know,

345
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
read through everything and there's questions and answers.

346
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
So I didn't get to see him, but he said, Adam,

347
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
you better get your ass over here for a couple of days.

348
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Gonna teach you how to fly.

349
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Get you going because, you know, this commercial flying is just not,

350
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
not for boys like you.

351
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000
You're right.

352
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
You're right.

353
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
I need to push metal the metal pull back on that stick.

354
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Put on the autopilot and pour my own cup of tea.

355
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
And I'm sure we'll have some podcasts about that in the future.

356
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
So let's talk about bandwidth.

357
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
So of course I came home.

358
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
I told you that, well, I showed you the emails.

359
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I put them on the weblog.

360
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Yes, the bandwidth was going to be here.

361
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Plugged in the router or router, as we say.

362
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And got the whamlight flashing and flashing and flashing.

363
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
So I'm gonna cut straight to the chase.

364
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I've had two days of straight calling around with easy net

365
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
with British telecom.

366
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Everyone has a different story, but the, you know,

367
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
everything, the job is completed, but yet it's not working.

368
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
The measurements are wrong.

369
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
We don't understand.

370
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
So I finally found this guy Lee at easy net.

371
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Then he had a different number.

372
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
He had an O2O number, which is different from the O845 numbers

373
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
I've been dialing.

374
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
And Lee definitely has a shit together.

375
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
So I say, Lee, you're my man.

376
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
And about 30 minutes after speaking to Lee,

377
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
British telecom shows up at the door.

378
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
This is good news, I think, because here comes the cavalry.

379
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
They're in.

380
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
They're gonna fix it all.

381
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
They're gonna figure me out.

382
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Shoot, hold on.

383
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
I have something to, need to share with you right after I talk about this.

384
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Okay, here we go.

385
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
So these guys, and it's, they're nice guys.

386
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000
John and, um, who was his apprentice.

387
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,000
He's got an apprentice.

388
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
And I can tell he's an apprentice, right?

389
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,000
He's a young kid.

390
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
And he's got a, like, his, his British telecom jacket.

391
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
It's like crackling fresh.

392
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
I was bustin' on him because he, you know, he could, he said.

393
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
I said, what's going on?

394
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Because John was on the phone and talking to people,

395
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
I don't know.

396
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
I'm really new.

397
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
So yes, your jacket gave it away, my friend.

398
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000
So I actually took pictures of this.

399
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
You're not gonna believe it.

400
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
So we follow the line.

401
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
In my office here, there's the jack.

402
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
It's got the jack reference number and it's all set, right?

403
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
We follow the line to where it goes out the house.

404
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And down the side of the house.

405
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
And into the junction box and the side of the house.

406
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And there you see.

407
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Yes, I had to take a picture of it.

408
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
It'll be on the, the web log.

409
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
There you see the wires just sticking out of the junction box.

410
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Connect it to nothing.

411
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And if you go down to the corner to the curb, actually,

412
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
and you look at the, the BT box at the corner,

413
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
of course, they opened it up for me.

414
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,000
I guess what?

415
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
They were like a pair of wires sitting there,

416
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
just ready to be connected to the ones in my house.

417
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Which apparently, according to all the paperwork was done,

418
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
but obviously wasn't completed.

419
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
So that does kind of explain why no one could get the fucking measurement right.

420
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
And it just went from, from bad to worse, from worse to horrible,

421
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
from, so then it's like, well, we can't open up a new order

422
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
unless, I don't even want to get into it.

423
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,000
This fucking crap.

424
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
So anyway, so I called Lee back, he's working on it.

425
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000
And what has to happen is literally some other guy has to get the order to come out here

426
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,000
with 40 feet of fucking wire and connected from the curb up to the house.

427
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
And I have half a mind to go get some goddamn wire myself

428
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
and solder that fucker up tonight.

429
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
But I'm going to give him a second to tell me when they,

430
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
and it's convenient for them to come and actually do this for me.

431
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,000
So until then, it's me and Starbucks or me and the neighbors.

432
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And I just, you know, now I really should go figure out which neighbors

433
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
providing this Wi-Fi to me because I've been fetching off it for so long

434
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
and I have to continue doing it.

435
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
I just hope that I wouldn't have to deal with it.

436
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Anyway, one thing I wanted to say that when I do that get disconnected

437
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
and I'm going to say Monday, well, I'm a business customer now, right?

438
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000
I'm not just some asshole residential smuck.

439
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Now I'm a business customer.

440
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
I get, I get escalated.

441
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
God, this pisses me off.

442
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
I was going to say, so anyways, I get escalated and maybe Monday, maybe Monday.

443
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
All right.

444
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Adam Elman sent me an email.

445
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Adam, hi, hopefully by the time you read this,

446
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
you'll have your net up and running.

447
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
I thought that this song for my band's recent album

448
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
will help you celebrate broadband at home again.

449
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Adam says, I once had SPC accidentally disconnect my DSL line.

450
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Took six weeks for him to turn it back on, almost went insane.

451
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
So I know where you're coming from.

452
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Okay, the band, sinister dexter.

453
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
And of course, put a link up to their site.

454
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000
They're also on garageband.com as slash syntax.

455
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Song has a creative comments license.

456
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
So completely pod safe music.

457
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
You'll like the title, dig the tune.

458
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
This is called broadband connection.

459
00:21:16,250 --> 00:24:08,000
[ Music ]

460
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:18,240
Yeah, broadband connection to your soul brought to you by Senator Dexter from the city, Dexterity,

461
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:25,760
check them out on garageband.com, of course, in the podcast show notes is where you can find links to them.

462
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:33,440
Being in South Beach for over a week, I didn't, as I think we discussed, I didn't really see any,

463
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,440
any, I didn't watch any television, I just like the last day I watched by an hour of TV,

464
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:44,880
was actually blown away by the speed of the hypnotization process. Within seconds, I was like,

465
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:54,000
I'm hypnotized, I'm like, I am slave to the machine, but, you know, with everything going on

466
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:02,720
with the tsunami, with the state of the entire fucking world, and what's this with the,

467
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,760
don't we have, we're blasting into some kind of comment, we've got, what is it,

468
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:15,120
to such a Bruce Willis type name, deep, deep mission, or deep blaster, or mission critical,

469
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:21,440
something, we're trying to shoot a rocket into this meteorite to see what happens, basically,

470
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:28,720
is what I understood, but just mesmerizing stuff. But the big news that I miss, and it really is

471
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:37,680
big news, everyone was talking about this, is the Brad Pitt Jennifer Aniston split, and I,

472
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:44,080
first of all, I got to tell you, I was shocked, I really was. I liked them, you know, there's such a,

473
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,320
such a beautiful couple together, and it was so perfect, because you know, the Brad really needs some,

474
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,680
he's, he needs a mom out of take care of, I mean, you know, the Jennifer's, you know,

475
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,680
she's a strong woman, and she takes no shit, and she's going to take care of him, and, you know,

476
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,720
you just see the way they interacted, I thought that this was a real, this could really last,

477
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,120
I thought that this would really work, and that if anyone could make him, especially then, you know,

478
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:11,120
the, although I think Brad can probably, Brad Pitt has more sex appeal than Jennifer Aniston,

479
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:18,320
clearly, it's amazing when you, I mean, his world is just filled with people throwing themselves

480
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:24,560
at him, female and male for that matter, and, you know, they're both famous, it just, it works,

481
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:31,040
it's so perfect, and you could, I thought really the way they, they communicated together,

482
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,120
the way they acted when they were, you know, or at least what you could see on television,

483
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:40,480
and news, I don't know, either of them personally, and just the way they talk about each other,

484
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,600
I thought that was for real, and maybe it is for real, maybe they just can't live together,

485
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,880
but to, what happens is immediately the spin goes down, you know, it's like, well, it's, of course,

486
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:56,080
it's because of Angelina Jolie, because Brad did a movie with her, and she's known to, you know,

487
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,480
sleep with her co-stars, and, well, I don't know if that's true, right? I'm just telling you what I'm

488
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:06,800
reading, and the papers here, and with more follow-up on this, on the breakup, and what I saw on TV

489
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:12,320
in the States, and having been the subject of stories like that, although, I guess it was only

490
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,600
really in the beginning when Patricia and I, we've been married for 17 years, we've been together

491
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:23,200
for almost 19 now. So, no reason for this, for this shit, to not work anymore. And let's

492
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:30,240
broadband, doesn't get fucking fixed, because I'll just go fucking insane, and she'll have to

493
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:40,400
divorce me, it'll all be the fault of British telecom. So anyway, so that's the story, right,

494
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,240
is that Angelina Jolie, she seduced Brad, and Jennifer would have none of that, and, and of course,

495
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:52,640
then this, and it's something really hurtful that is out there now, is that Brad wants kids,

496
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,280
Jennifer doesn't, because she still wants to move her career forward, doesn't want to enter

497
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,480
career, I guess having kids meet ending her career, in this, in the context of what I'm reading, right?

498
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,320
She wants to do some serious acting, doesn't want to end on the, I'm the Dits from Friends

499
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,240
vibe, which I can totally understand, and I'm not quite sure how old she is, I think she's in

500
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,760
her early 30s, so I think she has a little bit of time, if she, if she's so prefers before having to,

501
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:23,600
you know, kind of catch up with a biological clock, that's pretty hurtful shit, you know,

502
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,600
when people say that, it's just, even if it's true, it's hurtful for it being discussed,

503
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,320
and of course, the reason, you know, that everything all went downhill, as they were in the

504
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,600
Caribbean, you know, having a reconciliation weekend, don't know if it's true, and Brad had

505
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,680
tickets to the Super Bowl, and so he went left to go back to the Super Bowl, and then he came back,

506
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,960
and then they split up, and whatever, so there's really no revelant, relative, oh, man,

507
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:55,440
wait, let me get the latency off, no relevance, between my life and theirs, except for one thing,

508
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,680
because I said to Patricia, I said, you know, so wait a minute, so you're going to tell me that

509
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,760
because he, let's just say he slept with Angelina Jolie, right? So they're on the set of the

510
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,920
movie, you know, it's, you're working hard, you're in close proximity, I have no idea what the

511
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,320
movie is, but maybe there's a love scene, there's, I mean, come on, it's a beautiful, beautiful guy,

512
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:22,800
beautiful girl, there can be some attraction there, and so let's say that they did have a hot

513
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,760
wicked affair, you know, said, so that's, is that really the reason why Jennifer is, is

514
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,440
divorcing him, or that they're getting divorced, and Patricia said, yeah, I think that she's

515
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,520
really, she's a tough cookie, she's taken no shit, you know, and with her, you, you do that

516
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:43,200
and you're out, and then so then she took a beat and she says, besides, you know that, you know,

517
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:50,960
if you called me, I'd say go for it, I was like, hold on, can I get that in writing, just in case

518
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:57,600
I meet Ms. Jolie somewhere? Oh, anyway, what are we at now? We're at 29 minutes, okay,

519
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,960
still got some stuff to talk about, and I'm really trying to pair down a lot of the

520
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,960
elements in the show, and actually, this is going to be a good reset moment for me, and I

521
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,280
hopefully erasing for all of you, I'm getting lots of email actually from people saying, oh,

522
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,520
you know, even though it sucks that we haven't had a source code in three days, it's really cool

523
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,960
that we can actually sync up and catch up on previous episodes. So that's good, so maybe I should do

524
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,280
that once a month, you know, drop a couple of days and see if everyone can kind of sync up.

525
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,800
There are of course some comments that came in. Yeah, let's do a, I had something else lined up.

526
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,560
I'm going to do a comment, audio comment first, and I'll get back to some other stuff that's

527
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,760
been floating around the, the, the, the, the, the blogger sphere and podosh sphere. Greetings and

528
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:44,800
salutations to you, Prince of Podu. Okay, this starts off great. Isn't that wonderful? This is

529
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Jennifer, the girl on tech. I host the girl on tech podcast at girl on tech.plogspot.com,

530
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:58,560
and let me get the old Boeing out of the way here, a Boeing moment for you. I enjoy the show tremendously

531
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,920
especially the, uh, I heard that I got some email from, uh, from a couple of people that

532
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,440
Letterman had Boeing now in the top 10 of, uh, of ways to make the news cooler, I think it was,

533
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:16,400
and maybe it was CBS news, uh, Dan Rathers show, um, and number five was, uh, ad comedic

534
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,240
volume, after every item. The, you know, the Boeing's are getting out there. Now it's mainstream,

535
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,000
you know, Letterman's picked it up. So I guess, well, that's the quote with something else.

536
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,840
A recent show you did the, uh, walking through a South Beach and beautiful Miami.

537
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,920
The sound seeing too. And just keep doing what you're doing out and you're doing a fantastic job.

538
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,400
Okay, Jen. Hey, just talking about Jen. It's my own Jennifer.

539
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,720
Um, quick question for you. Um, as I've mentioned on my blog, I am doing a lecture

540
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,360
at the 2005 Indiana Computer Educators Conference.

541
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Uh, is that hot when we're in talk like that? Hold on, let's just be the real one.

542
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,120
Uh, keep keep me out, baby.

543
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:04,480
At the 2005 Indiana Computer Educators Conference, excellent teacher. Uh, January 26th through the 29th

544
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,440
and uh, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianaapolis. My goodness, teacher. Okay, great.

545
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:19,040
And I'm doing a lecture entitled Classroom MTV using classroom MTV. Wow.

546
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,680
I don't know if the words classroom and MTV can actually be fit into the, into the same

547
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,840
setting using digital media to enhance standards and learning. And all the participants of this lecture

548
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:36,480
actually going to receive a CD with a software and manuals and how to use that I'm putting together.

549
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,120
And one of the areas that I'm definitely going to cover is blogging, RSS and podcast course.

550
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,920
Um, in the CD, I'm actually including some sample podcast one from James Basour.

551
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,720
I've actually gotten an okay from Jay Rosen to include his academia lecture from blogger

552
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:03,520
com 3 and I was wanting to ask if you would allow me to include your podcasting lecture

553
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,760
from blogger com 3 as well in the little sample CD. I'd really appreciate it. That's basically

554
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,560
all I've got on my mind. So again, keep up the great work Adam and uh, here's another

555
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,920
boring for you baby. Oh, you have baby. Thank you. Um, that's actually, I guess there's a question

556
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,640
for, for Dave Winner. I'm not sure. Um, I would presume. It sounds actually like the CD

557
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,480
you're making would be a fantastic resource. Uh, so maybe that would be something to think about

558
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,040
if we can get all of that stuff on, uh, on a, on a, on a, on a site somewhere. I mean, that would be

559
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,640
great. Patricia just walking while that clip was playing. You still there, huh?

560
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:45,440
Come here. You can't do that. Dude, come here.

561
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,520
So Patricia's standing out. And you know, this is why this is why we have studio doors right

562
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,240
that have a big red on air light and has soundproofing. So you can't have like people

563
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,920
standing outside and listening. So she heard the whole Angelina Jolie bit did I lie? Did I lie? Did I

564
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:09,440
lie? I heard did I lie? Did you say that or not? I said that. Yeah, exactly. And but I'm sure

565
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:20,800
of myself. I've got great lips too. Oh, boy. Thank you. Okay. I love you very much. I love you, too, baby.

566
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,680
It's okay. But you know, if, if you want to have sex with Angelina Jolie, it's okay, too.

567
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:33,120
Could you just take a, like video? All right. Okay. She's into it. She, uh, to totally

568
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:41,760
into it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's call her. Yeah. All right. Cool. Okay. Let's talk something

569
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:49,840
completely nerdy. Going from the sexual to the nerdy. And he hurts felt. I don't actually

570
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:55,200
know, I didn't know too much about him, been reading up on him. He's not, not an original founder

571
00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:01,280
of Apple, but he did come in pretty early on the Macintosh. And he's, uh, I think he's coming out

572
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:09,680
with a book, but he was interviewed recently at, uh, was it seen it or by seen it? And I don't think

573
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,680
he quite understands podcasting. I'm just going to read this bit to you because it was in a written

574
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:20,560
interview. He says, I'm down on podcasts. I think it's ridiculous. Suddenly it's taking the

575
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:26,560
information and making it completely inaccessible. You can't read it and besides a podcast is

576
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:32,880
nothing. It's streaming MP3s. That's good. But no one can take credit for inventing a new term

577
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,400
because streaming MP3s is simple and has been around for a while. Doing it through RSS enclosures

578
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:45,040
is basically bad to automatically download big files before hearing them. The whole thing about

579
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:50,240
audio is that it has, that it has to be small, uh, since it's a weird sentence. I'm going to read

580
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:54,640
it exactly the way it's written. The whole thing about audio is that it has small enough bandwidth

581
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,680
that you can stream. Okay. You just can't stream from an iPod because it doesn't have a network

582
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:05,360
connection yet. I'm excited about getting an iPod with 802-11 so I can stream to my airport

583
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:14,240
express without carrying my Macaron. This is, this is so typical. This is exactly the problem.

584
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:23,280
I presume that Andy Hertzfeld is, is an engineer. He's thinking exactly, he's, he's completely

585
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,720
missing the point and this is probably why Apple hasn't picked up on podcasting because they're

586
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:34,720
thinking exactly this way precisely the, they're thinking from Apple out to the rest of the world

587
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:45,120
they're not seeing what's happening. And, you know, to to misunderstand the idea of downloading things

588
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:51,280
before you've heard them to have, you know, a high-quality experience. I mean, yeah, Andy, sure,

589
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:57,360
if we all have fucking fiber up our ass wirelessly attached, yeah, okay, I can probably get there,

590
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:04,160
you know, but it's, anyway, so the entire text is going to be in the production show notes

591
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:10,080
and it's very discouraging. Of course, it also, you know, this plays completely into, you know,

592
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,040
a lot of the things we were talking in South Beach about and this is where all the opportunity is,

593
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:21,920
so great, you know, I'm just blown away and you know, these guys aren't dumb, they're just not seeing

594
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:29,520
it, just not seeing it, not, not living in my world, that's for sure, okay. Wow, yeah, pretty interesting

595
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:34,080
and how about that, you know, let's, while we're on Apple for a second, let me, what time do I have?

596
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,280
God damn, I'm not going to be able to, well, I could just hurry up through a couple of things here.

597
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:45,760
So the new Apple products, I think the, the mini is very intriguing, I might actually just buy one,

598
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,080
just to hook it up and see how it works and, I don't know, interesting, very interesting,

599
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:55,520
there's a little computer like that, although, you know, okay, you're getting laptop,

600
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:06,560
territory, it's interesting, but the, the iPod shuffle, what? This is like, like, makes no sense at all,

601
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,240
and I, you know, I love stuff that Apple makes, I really do, I mean, clearly, you know that,

602
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:16,480
but what is up, you know, this shuffle thing and, no, makes no sense to me, and for that kind of money,

603
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,200
I'd get an I river and, and a pair of white, you know what they, do they actually just sell

604
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,360
white headsets, you know, there's a market for you, all you got to do is just sell the white

605
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:30,320
headphones with a white wire, that's it, that is a million dollar business right there, I'm sure

606
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,040
someone's already doing it, but you've got to totally, you'll go out, market it so that you can

607
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:40,400
walk around with a piece of shit, MP3 player and iPod, whatever, you know, iPod equivalent,

608
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,240
as long as you have the white headphones, then, you know, you're cool, you're going to be with it,

609
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:49,120
and maybe, you know, I don't know, but this thing, for the money, it just made no sense to me,

610
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:58,560
absolutely not, okay, well, I guess, let me see, I had a good joke in there, but I don't feel

611
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,640
like doing a joke today, I'll keep that for tomorrow, okay, although let me just put that down to the

612
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:09,200
bottom of the outline, yep, still working with my opml show notes, okay, I'm going to play this one

613
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,880
little bit from the podcast brothers, that's a podcast, I listen to regularly, they do crack me up,

614
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:20,080
and these guys, not quite sure who they are, what they're about, I think they're organizing a podcast

615
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:27,280
conference pretty soon or maybe a trade show, so I'll have to listen up and check them out and

616
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:32,720
listen to, you know, what's going on? Of course, I have to go to Starbucks now to download the podcast,

617
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:38,720
so I may drop behind a pick and how long it takes BT to connect that 40 foot piece of wire.

618
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:43,920
You can check them out yourself at podcastbrothers.com. Of course, all the podcasts are listed in the

619
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:50,640
iPod.org directory, that's a great resource, so we can go basically search in the directory

620
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:57,920
by category, and if you want to hear the list, 100 podcasts, it's audio.weblogs.com, so here's this

621
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:04,240
clip that was actually released as a clip, I think on the opempodcast.org by the brothers themselves.

622
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:08,880
Instead, listening to that day's podcast, we noticed that Adam was talking about his hair, so

623
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,080
we didn't get a mashup of his podcast, we hope he likes it.

624
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:19,280
My hair cut. Personal grooming, my hair, the total package, you know, my eyes, why am I doing

625
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,920
this? She did my hair. I love it when Patricia does my hair. It just looks so good. Could you please

626
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,320
do my hair? So wash it, cut it up a little bit, just perfectly, just the way I love it. And now I

627
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:33,280
got to be real careful with it. I just did your hair, so it's not to mess up the hair, so the hair

628
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:39,280
will be beautiful. So Adam, we're just Adam, you're hair, man. Yeah, yeah, you must use a lot of

629
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:45,520
hair products. Actually, I don't use a lot of hair products, actually. I don't know. I just

630
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,280
like it really dirty, kind of like a rostophari. You know, so you can mold it and shape it and

631
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,680
bend it anyway you want. Some sure. Yeah, hey, you know what? He would be a good, good commercial

632
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,560
now for geeks for a hair product. Well, he should eat. Hey, geeks, you too, could look like me and

633
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:04,000
get hot chicks who will have sex with you and Angelina, Jolie. Should get somebody should sponsor him.

634
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,800
So hair product. They should. And Adam, who does his rose-coded glasses, but those are cool.

635
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,960
They're also real. They're actually prescription. Minus 2, minus 2.75. And did you see the shirt?

636
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,920
They've won or posted some pictures with them. That's not totally fair.

637
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,600
Oh, my, I mean, South Beach, sorry. South Beach. And these boys are listening to the show.

638
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,880
Adam, very sharp dresser. Really? I haven't seen a picture of Adam Curry.

639
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,640
What? I haven't seen Adam Curry since. Oh, yeah, you got to go check it out.

640
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,240
Yeah. You're like, I don't know. I'll tell you. I'll email those colored glasses on.

641
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:42,560
You're going to see those colored glasses. And they shirt. Adam, I don't know if

642
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:49,840
you have his shirt. He does. He actually called yesterday just for that reason.

643
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:18,560
It's your daily source code. Oh, man. How cool is that? The syvee is biddies everybody.

644
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:24,160
Great. Give it up for him. Fantastic. And I have it on very good authority that we could be seeing a

645
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:39,200
bitty cast before too long. That's it for today's podcast.

646
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,920
Come Thursday. And of course, tomorrow we'll be back with the thank god's Friday

647
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:50,000
edition of the daily source code. All right. That's it. Oh, by the way,

648
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,760
could someone please send me a Gmail invite so I can open up a Gmail account for audio comments?

649
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:01,600
This is, you know, it's not a control on the Mac account. I only have like 200 megs left over

650
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,840
whatever. So, send me an invite so I can open up something at gmail.com.

651
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:12,240
Okay, that's it. I'm going to rush off to Starbucks to shoot this up to the server and

652
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:19,360
be home just in time for some South Beach phone calls. Hey, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

653
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:25,840
I have more about what's going on. Maybe a British telecom update. Thanks for checking out

654
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:42,960
take care. See you tomorrow.
