00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Delta share Charlie, two-fiber-two!

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,500
Please save me from people who've been told what to like and then like it.

3
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:18,000
In my opinion, if you're over six years of age and you're still getting your music from the radio,

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,500
something is desperately wrong with you.

5
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:28,000
I can only hope that somehow MP3 players and file sharing will destroy FM radio

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
the way they're destroying record companies.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Then, even though the air will probably never be safe to breathe again,

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
maybe it will be safer to listen to it.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
There are no secrets.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Only information you don't get out of!

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Adam Curry!

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
With $16 million worth of airplane strapped to my ass.

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
In the next generation, radio content in my ears.

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I like to think I'm flying into this church.

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
It is Monday, October 3rd in the near.

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Screw that.

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
In the year of our Lord, 2005, I sort of wanted to say,

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
hey, everybody, how you doing?

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Come to you from Curry Cottage in Gilford, United Kingdom.

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
That's right, back home with the girls.

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
This is your daily source code, kind of free wheeling it today,

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
but I'm stacked up on promos and pod save tunes.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:37,000
We are guaranteed to have a full show today.

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Actually, we had something interesting happened this morning.

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I didn't hear about it until early we had a eclipse.

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It was kind of weird, because it wasn't, of course, a full eclipse.

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
You have to be closer to the equator to really get that kind of stuff.

28
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Definitely did go dark for about 10, 15 minutes.

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
As we were up bright and early, Christina has an audition this morning.

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
She had one at 8 o'clock, auditioning for a big school play,

31
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
which is based on the life of Lizzy Borden.

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Oh, yeah, that's my daughter for you.

33
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So it's really weird.

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Most of the animals include the birds,

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
primarily we're really kind of freaking out about this weird,

36
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
like twilight that we had around 730 this morning.

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And then at a quarter of eight it really started to set.

38
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
I think 815 was the darkest moment.

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
And then it just started to get light again.

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And the birds kind of acted up again.

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
It was one of those freaky, cool nature things.

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
That, of course, I completely forgot to take pictures of.

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And that's why you've got such a small handy camera, you know?

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I'm such a dork.

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Kicking it off with a mashup on today's source code.

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
This came from a DJ Quad.

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Sorry, I came from Phil who's promoting DJ Quad.

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
The mashup guy from Cat and the Girl.

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
And he suggests a mash-off spin-off.

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Let's see what their entry is.

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
When I want to see you,

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:04:18,750
[ Music ]

53
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
I won't do what I want to do.

54
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I won't do what I want to do.

55
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I won't do what I want to do.

56
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
I won't do what I want to do.

57
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
I won't do what I want to do.

58
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I won't do what I want to do.

59
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I won't do what I want to do.

60
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
I won't do what I want to do.

61
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I won't do what I want to do.

62
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I won't do what I want to do.

63
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I won't do what I want to do.

64
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I won't do what I want to do.

65
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I won't do what I want to do.

66
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I won't do what I want to do.

67
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I won't do what I want to do.

68
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I won't do what I want to do.

69
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
I won't do what I want to do.

70
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
I won't do what I want to do.

71
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
God bless.

72
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Oh, man.

73
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
That fusing sound feels like me.

74
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
My ears are cooked through my butt.

75
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
That's really rough.

76
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
The full story is that Phil Eugenio is sent to me for the sea.

77
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
He said that jam to this broth.

78
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Let's have a mashup contest.

79
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
DJ Quad of Keith and the Gorillir vs Art that guy tries to mash up.

80
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
He's okay, but lowerly flan of Keith and the Gorillir can mash up.

81
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Like none other.

82
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Just listen.

83
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,240
of mashuptown.com, which is way different from him doing all the mashups that I play.

84
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,840
So I don't think that'll be any competition we want to enter into.

85
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,400
This was kind of cool though, but it seemed like I was missing at least a quarter of the mashup

86
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,920
that just wasn't a part of the file that was sent.

87
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,520
But I liked it.

88
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,920
I liked it definitely, very, very cool.

89
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
I'm liking the mashups.

90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,560
So back now, back for a couple of days, of course I got inside of the morning, I'd slept

91
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,520
for like five hours on the plane, which was pretty good.

92
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Seeing as it's only only a nine and a half hour flight, you know, with your, I was

93
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,760
fall asleep the minute the engines rev up though.

94
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,520
That's, you know, the minute you hit rotation from the runway, when the, when the nose wheel

95
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,840
lifts off, I'm asleep, I'm asleep for a half an hour an hour, you know, and then I'm

96
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:20,520
going to wake up and get into the vibe and what I watched the movie, the hell that

97
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,520
I watched.

98
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:29,160
I don't remember what it was, I can't remember what I watched.

99
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:35,440
But slept well, got in around, you know, the typical 1030, customs was pretty busy, even

100
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,440
for the fast track.

101
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,680
We've talked about that, right?

102
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,600
It's the pink little slip you get and then you can go through a special line, but even

103
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,080
the fast track was slow.

104
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680
And back at the cottage round 12, it was great seeing the girls.

105
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,080
We had a great weekend, it was great catching up, we just talk and talk and talk and talk

106
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,160
and talk and talk and so much that on Sunday, Patricia, I did a special podcast going

107
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,400
through an hours worth of pod save music that I've played over the past couple of weeks

108
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,280
and basically getting her input on it, which was kind of interesting.

109
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:07,720
And I realized that you may be listening, you may be listening to that today instead of

110
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,120
this show, depending on what you, what kind of time you had on your Sunday, to listen

111
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,680
to an hour of our, our futsing around, but it was fun.

112
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,120
I love doing shows with Patricia and to maybe I can get on more often, but it did get

113
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:28,920
a whole, whole thought process rolling in my head about pod safe music and production,

114
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,640
and not talking about audio quality, but, you know, as Patricia would call it, another

115
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,360
set of ears, you know, just someone listening to stuff, which, of course, is a value

116
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,560
ad that record companies and ANR people give to their artists, which, you know, we don't

117
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,040
really have, well, I guess we have a super benefit as it pertains to pod safe music because

118
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,200
you have a whole audience that will work with you on Chris, like software.

119
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,840
There's no, I don't see any difference between creating a software program, you know,

120
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,800
why shouldn't you have a beta of the song?

121
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,200
I think you can definitely have it.

122
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Here's the beta.

123
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,200
We used to call that a demo, but there was really nothing between demo and release candidate.

124
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,080
It was always that's it, you know, you go from, from the O.1 version straight to the

125
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,080
1.0 version.

126
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Maybe we should consider more, had this more of it be more of an iterative process.

127
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,800
I don't even know what that means, but it sounds pretty expensive.

128
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,160
I don't know what that means, but it sounds pretty expensive.

129
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,160
I don't know what that means, but it sounds pretty expensive.

130
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,160
Anyway, just a thought.

131
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,160
And we'll get to that little bit later on.

132
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,160
I have some ideas for the pod safe music networks and stuff that I want to throw out there

133
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,440
and see what comes back.

134
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,840
As I said, plenty of promo is lined up.

135
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,120
I got it a question the other day, someone said, you know, you asked for promo is what?

136
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,120
It is a promo.

137
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:40,120
I said, well, you should listen to the source code because I play a lot of them.

138
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:47,200
And promo is basically small little audio vignettes or the column of commercial.

139
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,200
There you go.

140
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,680
It's an advertisement for your show.

141
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:54,360
It's a way to hook people into, to getting them to listen to and hopefully subscribe

142
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,360
to your show, to your podcast.

143
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,680
And there's many ways to do it.

144
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:03,080
One way is to play snippets and say, you know, here's the stuff you're missing if

145
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,320
you don't listen to our show immediately and the other one is to really show what kind

146
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,080
of personality you are or maybe have multiple people.

147
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,760
There's a whole bunch of ways to do it.

148
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:21,080
Ways like, well, you could always use this tactic.

149
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,080
This is John Long.

150
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,360
I am wanting to know whether you understand Hawkins.

151
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,520
As Lucy binangilana, I see Taiwan and Langheil, a healthy alcoholic want to see Lu,

152
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Pyunnamil, J-o, Hong Kong.

153
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,440
I don't understand Hawkins.

154
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,520
For a time, I want to know how much Arthur is most in Australia but I don't know

155
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,240
what the look up Mc Doom is looking for.

156
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,920
She said Mouse, a colored Runner, dio, a可以, a mencioner, a person.

157
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,800
That's her standard, a right approach.

158
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,440
The best way to understand Hawkins is to build a journey.

159
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,160
Lure Theory and Autism Analysis.

160
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Take off your helmets.

161
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Just do it.

162
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,440
And it's too smooth to see.

163
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Reddit and so on.

164
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:10,440
You have your PE and ANG, H-O-K-K-I-E-N.com, okay, bye, everyone.

165
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,440
So there was just a message out there to all the Huck-In people who understand Huck-In.

166
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,440
I'm studying a new podcast.

167
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:23,440
I'm studying a new podcast called PenangHuck-In.com, PE-N-A-N-G, H-O-K-K-I-E-N.com.

168
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,440
It's all about Huck-In podcast.

169
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,440
Gender Parts

170
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,440
Bump bridge down there.

171
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,440
There isn't a sûre.

172
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,440
It thrown in the backstage and the acting boss is behind.

173
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,440
H-O-K-I-N-F-H-O.

174
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,440
Content that will make you squeeze the dog and burp your mother.

175
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,440
So, what have you missed in the past month by not listening to the financial aid podcast?

176
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,940
We've talked about, and given you the secrets too, finding over $25 million in scholarships,

177
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:07,340
you could have gone to college for free.

178
00:11:07,340 --> 00:11:11,340
Financial aid podcast listeners raised over $10,000 in hurricane assistance funds, and you

179
00:11:11,340 --> 00:11:13,340
could have been a part of that.

180
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:17,300
We had ourselves a jobcast from the opposite end of the spectrum covering four jobs seeking

181
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:22,300
strategies, six resume tips, and four insider secrets to landing the jobs you want in

182
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:24,200
as little as two weeks.

183
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,600
You missed eight power tips for increasing your gas mileage to save money commuting.

184
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,900
You didn't get a copy of our scholarship search secrets ebook, distributed only in our RSS

185
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:33,900
speed.

186
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:37,300
You missed an opportunity to get a free car from Motorola.

187
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:41,800
You didn't learn how to reduce the taxes you pay every year with education tax credits.

188
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,300
And you missed the debut of 90 different pod safe songs from artists across the spectrum,

189
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:49,600
from God Rock to folk via the pod safe music network.

190
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:55,600
So subscribe now to the financial aid podcast at www.financialaidpodcast.com.

191
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Because otherwise, who knows what you'll miss in October if you don't.

192
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,600
This week on the squad cast, we take on the snooze chewing tobacco challenge.

193
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,600
By the way, didn't you describe what this looks like to the folks at home and we'll take a

194
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,600
serious drag of coffee grind?

195
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,600
It does look like a little tiny.

196
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,600
It's like a bag of coffee.

197
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,600
You can do one or two things now to it.

198
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,600
You can do it.

199
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,600
You know what?

200
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,600
You know what I'm going to do?

201
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,600
What?

202
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,600
I'm going to beg you both.

203
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,600
I'm going to beg you both.

204
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,600
Unless you both want to die in the next four minutes.

205
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,600
Shut the fuck up.

206
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,600
I've locked mine into the front of my jaw.

207
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600
You know, it just sound like like a tard.

208
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,600
You sound like you've had a stroke.

209
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,600
They're currently at the number nine show.

210
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Are we after tonight's episode?

211
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,600
We are short to never see the top 10 again.

212
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,600
No, you will.

213
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,600
You just will as the Anthony and Larry Shaw.

214
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Mine is us.

215
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,600
We're going to be late us.

216
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,600
Nancy and Barbara passed out.

217
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,600
I mean Nancy and Barbara.

218
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,600
Brian wants to know which one he is.

219
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,600
Squad cast, squad cast.

220
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Gmail.com.

221
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600
Squad cast, squad cast, dot com.

222
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,600
Who?

223
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,600
Okay.

224
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,600
Some fine examples of promos there.

225
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,600
That's really here.

226
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,600
Well, I read mainly.

227
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600
And also here, you know, podcasters about the daily source code and one of the common

228
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,600
complaints is, you know, who the hell cares about Adam Curry's life?

229
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,600
Well, of course, that's not the point.

230
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,600
The point is this is the show where if you're new to pod casting and you want to

231
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600
find out about some interesting shows, you might want to listen to.

232
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,600
Here's the place to pick them up through listening to promos.

233
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,600
And of course, going to the show notes and you know, finding out where to

234
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600
where to find these shows.

235
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600
And the other part is, you know, trying to develop pod casting.

236
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,600
We are not done.

237
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,600
I was talking to Andrew Grummit this morning.

238
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,600
He was on his way out to San Francisco.

239
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600
He's going to come by the pod show offices.

240
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,600
It's going to be there for a week or so.

241
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,600
And we're going to work on ways that we can work together.

242
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,600
And it's just so much more to do as it when it comes to pod casting.

243
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,600
So, and primarily from the, of course, from the pod cast or side.

244
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,600
The work that we've been doing with Mike on cast blaster is.

245
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,600
I think an example of that, how much and you can pretty much see what we're going with with

246
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,600
cast blaster.

247
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,600
It's going to be a fully integrated solution.

248
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Obviously, you won't have to worry about creating RSS feeds and show blogs and up

249
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,600
FTP and uploading and doing ID3 tags.

250
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,600
All of that will just be built into one simple process.

251
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,600
You know, step one step two and there is no step three.

252
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,600
But on the listener side, we're far from done.

253
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,600
You know, and there's a reason why if you look at, if you look at the television networks this past week in the

254
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,600
States, although I don't have a television, I pretty much know it's always the same anyway.

255
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,600
So, they roll out their new lineup and there's, there's a lot of promo going on there, boy.

256
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,600
I tell you, the cool thing about pod casting is you only have to promo once.

257
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,600
Once you get the person to subscribe to your show, you're pretty much,

258
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,600
sure that you've got them, you know, that's your audience.

259
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600
And then, if they don't like it, then they'll unsubscribe.

260
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Which, by the way, is one thing that we could really do.

261
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Wouldn't that be cool if you knew if someone unsubscribe?

262
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Yeah, I'd love to know that.

263
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,600
I'd love to be able to say, hey, I saw you unsubscribe.

264
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Is there a reason why?

265
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Is there anything I can do to make it better to bring you back?

266
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:32,600
And, of course, on mainstream media, traditional broadcast radio and television,

267
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,600
there is no subscription.

268
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,600
Well, there is, of course, with Tivo.

269
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,600
That's, I guess that's true.

270
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,600
But there is, you know, they continuously have to promo to keep your attention.

271
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,600
And there's a reason why stuff comes back at the same time every week, you know, that's, so they can,

272
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,600
so you can be trained.

273
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,600
But now we just train our devices much, much easier, unlike it.

274
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,600
A couple of emails about bio diesel.

275
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,600
Just going through the Gmail here.

276
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,600
Hold on a second.

277
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Let me turn the laptop a bit.

278
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,600
Let's see, this is from Danny Boyle.

279
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,600
Did you know that oil from hemp seeds is one of the highest part in the pun.

280
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,600
BTUs per unit of all the bio fuels and it grows like a weed.

281
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,600
Says Danny Boyle.

282
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Well, of course.

283
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,600
That would make, of course it does.

284
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:24,600
In fact, I once did a documentary in Jamaica about Bob Marley and met up with,

285
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,600
oh man, he was one of his best friends.

286
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,600
And I've totally forgetting his name.

287
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,600
He runs the the museum at Marley's house in Kingston.

288
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,600
And he said, you know, this, the Oli herb.

289
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,600
It burns hotter than coal.

290
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:45,600
And I've never forgotten that.

291
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,600
Another thing about, I have to read you this article about bio fuel.

292
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Hold on.

293
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,600
I just got to click on this link.

294
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,600
A couple of people sent me this one.

295
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600
See, who sent this?

296
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600
This is from Gary Hall.

297
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,600
Yeah.

298
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:04,600
And Gary sent me this link about French President Jacques Girac.

299
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,600
I'll just read this to you.

300
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,600
He's joined the country.

301
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,600
France is push to boost bio fuel use.

302
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Converting his own luxury Citroen C6 saloon, which is a huge, huge car.

303
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,600
And many of his official scars to run on cleaner burning bio diesel.

304
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:25,600
Fuel pumps at his Aleyzay Palace in Central Paris have been modified to provide the alternative fuel.

305
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,600
The President's car runs with bio diesel made from rapeseed.

306
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,600
As do half the Aleyzay cars, a spokeswoman said on Friday.

307
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:38,600
France, Europe's biggest agricultural producer, has announced plans to become Europe's leading bio fuel maker by 2010.

308
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,600
When it wants, a green fuel is to fill 7% of total consumption.

309
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,600
France produces both bio diesel made from mostly rapeseed.

310
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,600
An ethanol derived from sugar beet or cereals.

311
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,600
And of course, Shirok is a former agricultural minister.

312
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,600
And so he's a big champion of the farmers' causes.

313
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,600
That's a story on the Yahoo, which I guess is what it's at AP.

314
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600
It's an AP, a Reuters story.

315
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,600
That's pretty interesting, though.

316
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,600
And it isn't detrue.

317
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
I've gotten all the details now.

318
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,600
If you use vegetable oil as fuel for your vehicle in the United Kingdom,

319
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,600
you have to pay the tax man.

320
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,600
And there's actually a form that you fill out and send the check to.

321
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,600
TruckerLew from truckerLew.com.

322
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,600
Hey, truckerLew.

323
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,600
In the rain, this thing to your podcast here for about the last month or so.

324
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,600
And you've been talking a lot about bio diesel.

325
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,600
And I'm all 4 bio diesel.

326
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,600
I think bio diesel would definitely be the way to go.

327
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,600
And here in the United States, tractor trailers, or commercial motor vehicles,

328
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:51,600
are the number one consumer of diesel in here in the United States.

329
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,600
And anything to get the price to drop would be excellent.

330
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,600
I don't have to worry too much about the price of a diesel,

331
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600
but I'm driving a company vehicle.

332
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,600
So I don't actually have to pay for the fuel out of my pocket,

333
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,600
but my company does.

334
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,600
So many money that they can save means more money in my pocket,

335
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,600
because I can give me raises at a later date.

336
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,600
And diesel is cheaper in the United States,

337
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:28,600
simply because car, you know,

338
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,600
automobiles use more gasoline here than they do diesel.

339
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,600
And I don't know if it's that way in the United Kingdom,

340
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,600
but I do have one question about bio diesel.

341
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:51,600
And this would affect the average homemaker or home producer of bio diesel.

342
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,600
I don't, you may have addressed this before, I don't know,

343
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,600
but any United States when you're operating a motor vehicle,

344
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,600
whether it's commercial or private motor vehicle on any public road,

345
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,600
the fuel that you use or the fuel that you purchase.

346
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,600
When you purchase the fuel, you're paying taxes,

347
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,600
as well as paying for the price of the actual fuel,

348
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,600
which can be anywhere from a 40 to 80 cents of tax per gallon.

349
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:29,600
When you're operating a motor vehicle and you're using fuel

350
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,600
that you have not purchased,

351
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,600
that means that you're not paying the taxes on it.

352
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,600
And if you're not paying the taxes on it,

353
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,600
you're operating the motor vehicle on the highway.

354
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,600
That opens up to the potential of a tax evasion.

355
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:51,600
And I'm not sure if you looked up the rules on that.

356
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Yeah, that's the way that I understand it.

357
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,600
I could be entirely wrong.

358
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,600
I think it's exactly what's happening here in the UK,

359
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,600
where if you use a certain substance as fuel,

360
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,600
you have to pay tax over it.

361
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,600
I mean, that's something that is nothing to do with the scarcity of a natural resource.

362
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,600
That's just taxes, you can put taxes on anything.

363
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,600
There are taxes on cigarettes, taxes on booze,

364
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,600
so why not taxes on biofuels?

365
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,600
But that's a different gain.

366
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,600
That's something that you got to change at the voting booth.

367
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,600
I'm sorry about that.

368
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,600
Wow, really overmodulated.

369
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,600
Yeah, something at the voting booth that you got to get your guys in there who are going to represent what you think is fair.

370
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,600
I want to come to taxation.

371
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,600
And by the way, even though you're driving a company truck,

372
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,600
higher fuel prices are going to just put strain on the company.

373
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,600
If it doesn't affect your future compensation,

374
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,600
it could affect many jobs.

375
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,600
That's just the way it goes.

376
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,600
It really sucks.

377
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600
So I'm way, I think it's a perfect way to go.

378
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,600
And then if the government puts taxes on biofuels,

379
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,600
well that's different, that's a different issue.

380
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,600
It's not that the natural resource has doubled in price

381
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600
in a very short amount of time.

382
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,600
Well, not double, I guess.

383
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,600
Well, actually $60.

384
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,600
I've seen $30 barrel of oil in the last five years,

385
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,600
I think.

386
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,600
So yeah, it has pretty much doubled.

387
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,600
So yeah, if there's a tax on it,

388
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,600
you'll have to pay a tax for it.

389
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,600
But until there's a tax, you don't have to, I guess.

390
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,600
But I figured I just dropped this little voice message.

391
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,600
And see if you have anything to say about that.

392
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,600
And whether or not you've actually explored it.

393
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,600
So there's more things than just making it.

394
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,600
There's a lot of legal ramifications in there.

395
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,600
And by the way, it is the United States of America.

396
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,600
We take matters into our own hands, dammit.

397
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,600
If we want to crap in our tanks to make it go and avoid all those

398
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,600
prices, expensive fuels, we'll do it.

399
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,600
And then if we want need to talk tax, we will.

400
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,600
That need to be, that need to be explored.

401
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:17,600
So if you get a chance to explore this, taking, putting it up in your podcast

402
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,600
and let everybody know because I'm interested in it.

403
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,600
I do have a diesel vehicle at home.

404
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,600
And if I could figure out a way to cheaply produce my own,

405
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,600
my own biodiesel, I do that for the same way.

406
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,600
I have to be home to do it.

407
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600
I'm driving a tractor trailer.

408
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,600
And I'm gone four weeks out of the month.

409
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,600
So I'm only home three days or so a month.

410
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,600
Damn.

411
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,600
You hear that?

412
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,600
I thought I had it bad with two weeks on two weeks off,

413
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,600
but home three days of the month, dude.

414
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600
Whew, that's rough.

415
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,600
You must take a month off somewhere to be with your family, I hope.

416
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,600
That's the backbone, man.

417
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Truckers backbone of America.

418
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Backbone of any country, really, I guess.

419
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,600
That's a rough gig.

420
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,600
Anyway, I just figured I'd bring that to your attention

421
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,600
and see what your input was on that.

422
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,600
And you know, being in the trucking industry,

423
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,600
diesel production is very important to me.

424
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,600
You can check me out over at truckerlude.com.

425
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,600
And I do kind of like a stream of consciousness type podcast.

426
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:40,600
And so I'm always talking about the trucking industry over there.

427
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,600
So I guess as about all we got for now,

428
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,600
we'll talk to you later.

429
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,600
I'm going to post this up for a file,

430
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,600
and I'm going to email a link to you here.

431
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,600
So I hope you have fun and we'll talk to you later.

432
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Appreciate it.

433
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,600
Truckerlude?

434
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,600
That's another great way to promote your show.

435
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Feedback, that's something we're talking about here.

436
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,600
So everything continues.

437
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
I encourage anyone who has links to home-making,

438
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,600
biodiesel websites and kits and organizations.

439
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,600
To put them up in the show notes on the wiki show notes,

440
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,600
which actually a couple of people have come to me and said,

441
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,600
hey, my name's wiki.

442
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,600
So I guess I got to figure out something

443
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600
for those folks to do.

444
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Who knows?

445
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,600
It turns out it's a pretty common Hawaiian name.

446
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,600
So that was really smart of me, A.

447
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,600
Let me see.

448
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,600
I wanted to tell you a story about something that was relative to.

449
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,600
You know, let me see.

450
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Why don't we take a break?

451
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Why don't we do something?

452
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,600
Let's just break the rhythm here for a second

453
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600
and get into some non-podsave music.

454
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Hello.

455
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,600
Hello.

456
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,600
You need to start.

457
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,600
There we go.

458
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,600
Backtracks podcast.

459
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,600
So you think you know your hits backwards and forwards?

460
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,600
No, I just...

461
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,600
Yeah, right.

462
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,600
You're listening to the Backtracks podcast exclusively

463
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,600
on the daily source code with Adam Curry.

464
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Hey, Adam.

465
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,600
Hey, are you doing it?

466
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,600
You're doing pretty good.

467
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,600
We might have to make this a little bit more difficult for you.

468
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,600
Please.

469
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Okay.

470
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,600
Challenge me.

471
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Number one.

472
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,600
I know it already.

473
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Oh, yeah.

474
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Um, that is Robbie Neville with St. Levy.

475
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,600
St. Levy.

476
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:37,600
St. Levy.

477
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Number two.

478
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,600
Sounds like Thomas Goldby.

479
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,600
Let me come back to you.

480
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,600
Time's up.

481
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Number three.

482
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,600
You can hear it.

483
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,600
Car Wash Rose Royce.

484
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,600
I know I got to do it.

485
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,600
Time's up.

486
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,600
Okay, here are the answers.

487
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,600
Number one.

488
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Goldby.

489
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,600
Uh-huh.

490
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,600
Say Love E.

491
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,600
And here's number two.

492
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Oh, okay.

493
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,600
You're coming, saw.

494
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,600
Number three.

495
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,600
Are you ready?

496
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,600
Are you ready?

497
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,600
Are you ready?

498
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,600
Are you ready?

499
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,600
Uh-huh.

500
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,600
Uh-huh.

501
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,600
Oh, uh-huh.

502
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,600
Oh, uh-huh.

503
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,600
Oh, uh-huh.

504
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Oh, uh-huh.

505
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,600
So how did you do, Adam?

506
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,600
You're out of three.

507
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,600
Not bad.

508
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,600

00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Catch you next time.

511
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,600
Backtrack Spotcast.

512
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,600
Spin it back.

513
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:17,600
I love the production of that.

514
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,600
Uh-huh.

515
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,600
I'm telling you, I'm pretty good at that.

516
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Let's see a couple of emails about my Blackberry.

517
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,600
How's it doing?

518
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,600
Did it work?

519
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,600
Uh, yes it did.

520
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,600
Very, very pleased with the performance of the Blackberry arrived in the UK email work.

521
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,600
Voice mail worked.

522
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,600
Phone calls worked.

523
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,400
Um, I told you I had this whole setup with Skype, which, because of course I have my UK cell phone,

524
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,400
which I would take with me.

525
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,400
I mean, I've, I have my numbers were all over the map and, and the problem really is,

526
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,600
and this does really piss me off, is you can get your, you know, so here's T mobile, right?

527
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600
It doesn't matter because they all do the same, where there's a vote of phone, orange,

528
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,600
T mobile, you know, or in the States, Verizon, uh, singular is actually the best for us,

529
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,600
and I'll tell you why.

530
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,600
Because I have, so I have my team mobile, uh, my MDA.

531
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600
I've gotten, you know, my data accounts and everything.

532
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:17,600
And when you go overseas, you get penalized that to no end, uh, for using your phone,

533
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,600
which, of course, has driven me to, to get a provider over in the States.

534
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,600
You know, it's so stupid.

535
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,600
They charred.

536
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,600
They want to charge me.

537
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,600
See, if I call from London to the US, anywhere in the US, you can pay an extra, you know,

538
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,600
10 a month or something, and then you get 10 cents.

539
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,600
20 US dollar cents, by the way, I give a take.

540
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,600
Uh, which is still expensive to call any number in the US.

541
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Now, when you take your phone over there, it'll cost you 90 pens.

542
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:51,600
So almost like a buck 80 to call, uh, overseas from, uh, from the US.

543
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,600
So to call back, it cost you a multiple of what it cost to call from the UK to the States.

544
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600
So of course, we know that's horseshit.

545
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,600
And incoming calls cost 80 pens, a buck 50 buck 60 for an ink per minute.

546
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,600
Per minute for an incoming call.

547
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,600
You know, and so, um, they're losing out.

548
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,600
It's so incredibly dumb the way they do this.

549
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,600
So you, there's no, really, there is no global carrier, you know, and I just don't understand

550
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,600
why they can't get that together.

551
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600
You know, why the prices, I mean, are they just trying to rape consumers?

552
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,600
Because we're not stupid.

553
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,600
I mean, yeah, for ease of use, maybe I'll take a call or two.

554
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,600
But, you know, so now here's how I've set it up.

555
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:38,600
When someone calls my UK cell phone, that automatically forwards to a UK Skype in number,

556
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,600
which means it's a very cheap call.

557
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,600
Because of course, you know, when you're using your cell phone over here and calling,

558
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,600
local, you know, UK numbers that are not going to charge a hell of a lot for that.

559
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,600
The cell phone company's finally figured that one out.

560
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:59,600
But then I have Skype set up so that it forwards through Skype out to my US cell phone.

561
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,600
How cool is that?

562
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,600
So the total charges are maybe per minute.

563
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,600
I think it's two cents, two euro cents per minute to Skype out to the states.

564
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:19,600
And it's probably about, um, it's probably for the local call, the forward that I'm doing

565
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
from a UK local, the UK local.

566
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,600
It's probably about 10 pens.

567
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,600
So it's still, you know, a good $25, 30 US dollar cents to do this.

568
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,600
But, you know, look, the look is making the money.

569
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,600
You know, Skype is making the money on this.

570
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,600
It's totally stupid.

571
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:36,600
Just can't believe.

572
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600
And then when I call home, I call the Skype in number.

573
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,600
I got one of those Skype phones for Patricia, one of those cordless Skype phones.

574
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,600
And I call just a US based number.

575
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,600
And it actually sounds better than when I call her over the BT phone line.

576
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,600
It's not, man.

577
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,600
I'm telling you.

578
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,600
It's freaking nuts.

579
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,600
Wow.

580
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,600
It's so simple to see when you're down here in the trenches with the rest of the users of the technology.

581
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,600
Let me see if there's anything else that I wanted to hit here.

582
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,600
There was something about education.

583
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,600
Yeah, it's always nice to see that.

584
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,600
From Stephen C. Graves, I guess it's C.

585
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,600
I guess it's C. Graves.

586
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Just wanted to share a new avenue that podcasting is taking on here.

587
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:26,600
My university at College of Education has incorporated podcasting to help their students and faculty receive information and training.

588
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,600
It's good content, especially for the future teachers here.

589
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,600
Just want to share that with you.

590
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,600
It's great to see podcasting taken off like this.

591
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,600
And I'll put a link to this in the show notes.

592
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,600
It's EDUC.ttu.edu slash podcasts.

593
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Very cool.

594
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:50,600
Yeah, I want to be very clear that this podcasting thing is definitely bigger than selling iPods.

595
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,600
There's a lot more to it.

596
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,600
I'm so excited about all the things that are going to come and I can almost predict them.

597
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,600
I can see them happening.

598
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,600
And part of that is about music.

599
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,600
And we're going to talk about that in just a couple minutes.

600
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,600
This is Bob Robinson of the Pan and Community Church Service podcast.

601
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,600
You recall a couple of weeks ago I sent you an email talking about being picked to be an Arbitron ratings family.

602
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,600
Well, the diary's came and we spent our week filling out time.

603
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,600
Hold on, let me just interject here.

604
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:25,600
So what he did, what Bob Robinson did is he sent me an email that he'd been chosen as one of the select families or persons, I guess,

605
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,600
to participate in the Arbitron ratings.

606
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Are the Nielsen's of radio and the way they're done is by filling out a diary.

607
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,600
So they give you a special diary and you have to write down what you listen to.

608
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,600
And the stations get credit for all kinds of things.

609
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,600
They get credit for call letters.

610
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,600
There's different credit if you can name it air personality that you heard.

611
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,600
There's all kinds of different, different things that the stations get varying degrees of credit for.

612
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:57,600
And that's how they determine this magical number of how many people are listening to the station by the quarter hour.

613
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,600
Remember, so you're probably writing down on the diary by the quarter hour.

614
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,600
What you listen to from 8 to 8 to 15 in the morning, 815 to 830 in the morning.

615
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,600
I was to get some more background on that from Bob.

616
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,600
I'd love to know what a diary looks like and I've never actually held one in my hands.

617
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,600
So he was going to fill in the podcast that he listened to as well.

618
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,600
So let's see what Bob has to say here.

619
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,600
And a couple of interesting results came out.

620
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,600
First of all, I do notice that I'm more than 50% podcast versus radio listener.

621
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,600
It's been about 60% of my time listening to podcast versus 40 over the regular radio.

622
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,600
And that's just been a past six months or so.

623
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Another interesting point is my attention span for either podcast or radio seems to be about 20 minutes.

624
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:44,600
So 20 minutes or 40 minutes maybe is a really good time duration for individual podcast shows.

625
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:50,600
And finally, the arbitron folks did provide a little section in the back of the diary to put down any kind of comments we wanted to.

626
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,600
So I filled them in on what podcasting is and we'll see if it shows up as a blip on their ratings radar.

627
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,600
All right.

628
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:02,600
I'll leave you with a couple of plugs in the patent community church service podcast and Sunday word come to you both on Sundays.

629
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:10,600
And friend of mine, MB is the host of the fairytale corner podcast where they do classic original and modern fairytales.

630
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,600
Right now, MB is reading one of her very own original fairytales.

631
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,600
You sure to check it out on iTunes in the family section.

632
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,600
Thanks a lot Adam.

633
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,600
You have a great day.

634
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,600
Oh, I rev.

635
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,600
Nice processing, by the way.

636
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,600
Holy moly.

637
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,600
You got a noise gate there, son.

638
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,600
That sounded bad.

639
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,600
That sounded pretty aggressive.

640
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,600
I like it though.

641
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:44,600
And that, by the way, that's something interesting to talk about that sound processing really or just audio in general.

642
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,600
We've, so we discovered our microphones.

643
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:53,600
We discovered with that that hole in your laptop is for and we're putting it to great use.

644
00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:02,600
But just like publishing in print and we talk about this a lot at pod show publishing in print or word processing.

645
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:03,600
That's a good example.

646
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,600
It's a good analogy actually.

647
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:12,600
So when you're making a document and you want to communicate something, it's, you know, it's not just words that would be a dot txt file.

648
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:26,600
But even in that, the way you space things, you know, you might put a bullet point in front of one certain item that you want to highlight and of course if you have a rich document.

649
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:38,600
Then you have italics and bold and fonts and colors and all kinds of things you can do to really get your message across and this all exists in audio as well.

650
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,600
We're learning all of this stuff which is okay.

651
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:51,600
You know, it's been around for a long time. There's a lot of what programmers would call prior art would trademark attorneys would also call prior art.

652
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:58,600
You know, so you can say something and you want a nonciated or you want to, you know, add it like this is an important thing. I want you to listen to it.

653
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Okay.

654
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,600
Sing, say hello.

655
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,600
Right?

656
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,600
Can be used for good and for evil.

657
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,600
And so processing is a part of that.

658
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:18,600
You're sound, you know, and that could be whatever you want it to be, whatever, whatever floats your boat, I guess.

659
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Now, about the pod safe music network.

660
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:32,600
Yesterday, while Patricia and I were doing this kind of review of pod safe music that I'd played on the show, we accidentally played a nonpod safe song, I'll explain why.

661
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,600
Because it was a cover version.

662
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Now, in this whole discussion about playing pod safe or nonpod safe music on podcast, here's my ultimate view point. I see that there are really two.

663
00:37:49,600 --> 00:38:04,600
Two types of rights. There's the performance rights, which means, you know, when you use a song, to basically, as a derivative work, I should, why don't have to go into legal terms.

664
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:14,600
So, if you want to use a song just to sing it yourself and to sing that at a concert or sing it for your friends or whatever, you know, essentially you're using someone else's work.

665
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Now, there's all kinds of fair uses in there. But in my case, as this podcast eventually will start to generate revenue, it's only fair that if you're using someone else's work, it's only fair that they're compensated for that. If you're using someone else's work for profit.

666
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:46,600
Now, as it pertains to artists, there are lots and lots and lots of artists out there who may not, who may be great artists, but may not have the songwriting or composing talent.

667
00:38:46,600 --> 00:39:02,600
And by the way, you know, I don't look at songs as CDs or tracks. It's a song and a great song is a great song and a great song could be performed and produced and recorded in many many different ways.

668
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,600
And that's really the thing that carries through all the ages is the song, not that particular recording.

669
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:18,600
There are songs that have been covered eight, nine, maybe even ten times. There are classics that, well, shoot classical music just as an example is basically covered all the time.

670
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:27,600
And in that case, there's no one left to pay because the copyrights, you know, there's no more copyrights in most cases in the public domain.

671
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:36,600
Now, as it, when it comes to the pod save music network, okay, so let's talk about so the other right is the fact that you're using someone's product.

672
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:46,600
So the product, of course, is the song or is the track that is a combination of the musicians, the singers, and also the authors and the composers of the song.

673
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:55,600
So let's say, and that's what ASCAP and BMI are for is for the, it's for the composers and the authors of the song, don't put that over to the left for a second.

674
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:07,600
So right now we're seeing lots of artists coming in saying, hey, I'm willing to give up the, the mechanical rights, the fact that you're using a product of theirs in a show.

675
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:22,600
They're willing to give that up for the promotional value that, that a podcast can bring when a podcast or place a song because, of course, where most of your money is made at the end of the day as an artist is performing in front of live audiences.

676
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:28,600
Now, if you can get into selling millions and millions and millions and keep that up, yeah, then it becomes a different game.

677
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:43,600
But by the way, sales of CDs or tracks direct to the consumer, these days are very interesting because your overhead is so low as an artist, you can keep 90% of the total purchase price in your pocket.

678
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:54,600
And then you have a little bit of cost on actually creating the CDs, but, you know, the physical product or if you want to sell by the track or some other means, it's all possible.

679
00:40:54,600 --> 00:41:03,600
So let's presume that the artists are willing to give up that right for the promotional value, which is pretty much the way it works on radio today.

680
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,600
Radio stations do not pay the record companies or anybody else for playing the song.

681
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:17,600
They do pay, pay, ask cap and be a mile. There's two organizations and I don't think anyone belongs to both. You belong to either ask cap or be a mile.

682
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:26,600
And what they do is they track the usage of songs, not of the records, but of songs.

683
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:32,600
So if it's played in a bar, it's, of course, enhancing the atmosphere of the bar and the bar has revenue.

684
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:43,600
And so they have a business thanks in part to the songs. And so they pay not, you know, not a whole bunch, but they pay some money, which is in proportion to whatever the revenue is coming in.

685
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:48,600
It's probably going to be one to two percent of revenue of gross revenue.

686
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:53,600
And it's the same if you hear music and an elevator. I mean, all of that is paid for.

687
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,600
And they have guys who actually go out on this, they'll go by fairs and, you know, they have their collection agency.

688
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,600
That's basically what they are. They got the rules down and everyone agrees on it.

689
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,600
And I'm not against that. I think that, you know, absolutely.

690
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:16,600
And I think this fair use, if you're just, you know, hosing around and, you know, and not making any money using the song.

691
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:22,600
I think that, you know, there should be fair use that you don't have to pay anything. You shouldn't have to pay for something if you're not making money off of it.

692
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,600
Okay. So that's a long-winded wind up to the point I want to make.

693
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,600
And then we really got to move along.

694
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,600
And I believe the pod safe music network should go out. And of course, that's pod show.

695
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,600
And I'm going to talk about this today. In fact, we're going to get on it.

696
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:43,600
I think we should go out. And we should cut a deal with ASCAP and with BMI.

697
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:53,600
So that podcasters can use songs as long as they also have the right to play the actual product.

698
00:42:53,600 --> 00:43:02,600
So that way artists can, you know, really introduce themselves to an audience and not just be limited by their own songs, but they can get other people's songs.

699
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,600
And they could use any wide variety of songs.

700
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:13,600
And we could do that right now. And I think that the pod show can, can figure out a way to negotiate something really well that will probably

701
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:23,600
work so well that no one who just wants to play some some cover songs, you know, some great songs, by the way, will have to shell out any money at all.

702
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:31,600
So I'm going to work on that. And just to give you an example of of what I mean, I'm going to play a song, which is a cover version and Brian in, but I know is smiling.

703
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:36,600
He's from cover, really. Because he has this all figured out and it took me a little while to catch on because

704
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:46,600
just because it's not the original artist that became a hit, you know, on the radio whenever the song still is the most important part.

705
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:53,600
This is the song that was on the radio when Christina was born. And I was, it was actually a C section. I was in the operating room.

706
00:43:53,600 --> 00:44:05,600
And, you know, it's, it's a part of the soundtrack of our life. And it doesn't matter if it's the Beatles singing it or if it's Alison Crow.

707
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:11,600
And I mean it. The emotion is still the same. So it's not pod safe, but this is here to prove a point.

708
00:44:13,750 --> 00:46:58,750

My name is in the obituary column. And in the now it's time for new parents can use.

711
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:21,600
In the headlines today, living near freeways causes asthma. Is it ADHD or sleep deprivation?

712
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:28,600
Riddle in, not method crack, is all a rage on campus.

713

Test your cartoon trivia skills with the tune test.

714
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:51,600
Right, too much a one thing can be boring, so a nice mix of news and entertainment works for me.

715
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:56,600
Sorry, that was just way too much fun.

716
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:04,600
We're at 101 uses for baby wipes.com, and I tend, and of course, at the pod safe music network.

How many times does this happen to you?

719
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,600
I have fifty dollars.

720

What game did you get?

721
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,600
I think I was going to film that up in the end.

722
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:28,600
The new abitually wrong, mister. You see, if you listen to the teen gearing podcasts, they would tell you what games are actually worth purchasing.

723
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:39,600
Okay, that'll do it for the daily source code for today.

724
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:45,600
I am very excited about this idea of getting a license for covers for the pod safe music network.

725
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,600
I'll be back tomorrow with another source code from the cottage.
