The prize definitely goes to 62 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:42,320 Bell Flyer, who said Minimil, who said enjoyed the flight, what do you say? What was the 63 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:49,120 interest to you? Okay, here it comes, I thought I heard a bounce. This is only a fucking 64 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,200 pilot could hear this, because yes, upon landing, I bounced a little bit, keep that flare 65 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,080 going until you, until the stall warning, if you can, Cessna's will bounce above 80 knots, yeah, 66 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,720 I know, I came in a little too fast. I can't believe that someone actually heard that, 67 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,680 just with the audio, because I'm not saying anything, and you just have to listen to it, because 68 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,560 actually, revved up a little bit, but the bounce, I thought it came through ever so slightly, so 69 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,480 oh, I have a James's back on the line. Yeah, Adam, pretty, James, just listen to your little 70 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,000 films, so you're into a nice little bit of a difference. You mentioned it, Jeffrey and Jeff, I'm 71 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,120 guessing that's a helicopter, but I'm not a aviation person, but I gotta use to fly helicopter, 72 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,160 you don't, you don't, let's do enough, just a question, sorry, I'm not next, okay, 73 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:46,560 James, I gotta tell you, man, that I am so jazzed about what's gone down in the past couple of 74 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,520 weeks with how the flying's gone, but yeah, I miss it terribly, and now that the nice weather's 75 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,880 upon us, I'll definitely get some chopper flying in, and I don't know, if you guys like it, 76 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,200 I'll do another, I think that actually, as we move into the German market, and again, 77 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,080 please, after the weekend, we'll talk about that and what's going down, but we are definitely 78 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,600 coming to thank you, everybody, for sending me emails, with your great insights on the market. 79 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,160 Actually, I felt my German kind of start getting a little bit better, while I was there for a couple 80 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,960 days. Anyway, so I feel that, you know, there'll be plenty of opportunity, or maybe that the 81 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,120 only time will be able to do a show is when I'm flying, which is okay, because it gets pretty lonely. 82 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,520 And speaking of lonely, here is Mr. lonely himself. It's been a while and great to have him 83 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,400 back on the show. 84 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840 On a second, I didn't receive any messages. 85 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,240 Why do we need to get to those? No, no, no, no, please, something went wrong. I didn't receive 86 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,240 any, I haven't received anything from you since I started asking for you to call me. 87 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,480 Crap, I hate that. 88 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Shit, man. Would you try doing the the UK now or just send me an email if you called it? 89 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,280 I really, really hate this, so please, let's try and make that word better. Let's try and 90 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,600 suck less on that. Anyway, dude, what's with the show in the airplane? I'm on. What's 91 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,000 focus group that you listen to that said? Or your audience wants to hear you as a sound of your voice. 92 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,800 It doesn't matter what you're saying. It's a show. I listen to a show and I'll wait a minute. 93 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:52,560 Did I imply that at one time you didn't find the show? By the way, it was an episode of a show. 94 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:58,160 You didn't find that to be entertaining or a show. I was, I was definitely putting on a show. 95 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:05,200 I was multitasking and you probably know from your own experience, man, on good multitaskers. 96 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,320 Your voice, respect to audience, give me a show. You know, which raises my second point. 97 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Is this show a hobby or a profession? Is this thing to me that this show has just been 98 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,920 getting in the way of your flying? Which I thought was your hobby and the show is your business. 99 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,400 Oh, dude. The flying is to get around to enable the business to happen more efficiently. 100 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:34,000 At life gets in the way in general. I'm confused by all this. So, hey, dude. 101 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,560 Um, what's the show? We don't just want to hear anything.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. 106 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:03,120 Now, this, you got to listen to this. I'll just let it play. For some reason 107 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,360 nylon is, is, is, is confused.

Jesus. 110 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,720 This network has to be a little bigger than white rock and roll bands. Are there no jazz or 111 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,960 does out there? Are there no R&B artists in the pot safe? And as soon as you see the word jazz on our site, 112 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,040 there are R&B. Click on the link. I mean, maybe even there's some classical people. 113 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Oh, classical, click on the link. Yeah, but let us expand this to, you know, beyond just the white rock 114 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,920 and roll bands, jazz. The audience in the world and then podcasting is bigger than that. 115 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:55,200 So I'm back. Say flying. Good thing we don't have to get a return trip.

I had to say and I remember you writing that and and I probably thought at this at the time 185 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,720 Fucker, I 186 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,720 We'll show you 187 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,400 But you know the funny thing is it's like I did the same thing with blogging and 188 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:23,840 I mean actually wrote three or four columns and some of them same kind of like snide, you know, you know humorously 189 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,800 Positioned 190 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,800 Policy papers essentially and 191 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,200 You know the blogging thing of course I got into a couple years or a couple years ago in 2004 and I now 192 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:42,800 Actually think about it because I could have probably gotten into blogging around 1998 when like Leo the port over at ZDTV was 193 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,680 Was blogging already because he jumps on anything 194 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,400 that happens and 195 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,560 If I had done that I wouldn't you know, I'd probably be retired. It just like it was it was I 196 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,200 tend to do that people don't understand this quite 197 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:04,880 You know, completely my my normal fan base does because I know I'm always like experimenting with with my current thinking 198 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,440 Is that I like to 199 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,200 Look at a technology or an idea or something new like a trend like this and then I'll I'll 200 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:19,520 Try to try to see everything that's wrong with it and then expose what I think is wrong 201 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:27,280 And see what kind of pushback I get I you get different kinds of responses to some of these negative pieces that I do and I'm at natural 202 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,200 If you know I've taken 203 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,600 Vocational tests and I it turned out to be 204 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,840 People it comes up at the top of the list. I swear it's 205 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,880 Critic it's like that might 206 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,640 I'm not telling it's the truth. I've done this more and more and 207 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,160 Every time it comes up number one what you should do is become a critic 208 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,600 So anyway, so apparently I have like critical genes 209 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,320 So I'm very critical and that's why you should don't jump on things like you know the second that they happen 210 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,840 But what I do is I criticize it and I go into great details or I'll do something very snide like that 211 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,000 This you mentioned which was quite funny by the way 212 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,320 I do say so myself 213 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,160 But anyway, I'll get I'll get blowback on that and I'll start to reanalyze and reanalyze and then pretty soon 214 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,440 I get a clue now with the podcasting thing compared to the blogging 215 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:21,200 I kind of got a clue. I think a little faster on the whole thing it did it it didn't take the you know 216 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,720 What one two three four five it didn't take six or seven years for me to figure out that that 217 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:31,600 Content management software was a great thing because it allowed people to like bypass 218 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,600 You know complicated systems 219 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,080 But with the podcast and think because I'm so in tune with what's happening to newspapers 220 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,000 I just realize it just dawned on me talking to both you and Ron 221 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:50,640 The CEO of Potcho that that it's like exactly what's happening to newspapers is going to happen to broadcasts because 222 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:58,080 Just the cost you don't have to have an antenna you don't have to have a first class radio telephone guy running it 223 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,080 You don't have to have a big staff you don't have to have amplifiers. You don't have to you know 224 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:08,000 You have international poll. I mean it's unbelievable and it's just exactly the same mile away 225 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,120 What's happened to newspapers is that they have they're overhead 226 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:15,440 It's like they have to print the papers. They've got a buy ink. They've got a buy paper 227 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:22,160 They have a distribution issue which is by the way another thing that radio broadcasters don't or TV broadcasters 228 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,560 Don't need when you have the internet you don't need the distribution network. It's built into the system 229 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,880 So what I and it went at that dawn. I mean, so this is the end of you know 230 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,200 Conventional thinking I got I got I got a clue a little faster here 231 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:41,680 So I love these press releases. No, actually I fucking hate them because they never a press release 232 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,960 Never puts in hyperlinks to anything. They just mentioned all these great 233 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Properties and all these fantastic things that we have and that you've done and and they never put a link 234 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,000 But anyway, did you actually say this in the let me just read your quote 235 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,880 Technology has given us this massive new distribution medium and yet our approaches producing technology content 236 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:07,840 has been in the same old predictable style comments devourack by working with pod shows new channel format 237 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720 We can combine entail of entertainment and insight 238 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:18,000 Ron wrote this I can't believe entertainment and insight and take the concept of integrated programming to an entirely new level. Did you say that devourack? 239 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,240 I think I may have said each one of those words at some point in my life 240 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:31,040 Well essentially, okay, so what's interesting is that and the way people that what we saw on interrupt you 241 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,000 But people out there who listen to this show. I mean you have to I I can explain a few things 242 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,840 But the way they should know everyone should know and by the way when I do I'm going to be doing the tech five report on 243 00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,600 On the pod show network, which will be a daily thing that people should subscribe to but and I'm going to 244 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,760 reveal some of these kinds of weirdness is that take place with the press release. A lot of the stuff is written 245 00:22:53,920 --> 00:23:00,720 Not necessarily by the person that's quoted. I believe what I said there though is not contradictory to anything 246 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,720 I believe it's just not something I was specifically said at any given time. I just want you to know what I said 247 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,280 okay 248 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,440 In life technology is no longer in the back row seat. It is now taking center stage. I got to do the dramatic voice 249 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,280 Pod show tech which is the channel you'll be building or whatever it is John 250 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:25,360 Will reflect that change says Pod show president and co-founder Adam Curry John is the perfect anchor 251 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:35,040 Combining his legendary insight on camera personality and extensive roll of decks to keep to help keep us fresh the channel fresh informative entertaining and relevant 252 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,840 That's pretty good. That's pretty good sucking up isn't it that was a good quote. I got one of that so 253 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:49,280 We split you know, we actually we met a long time ago. What was it 15 years ago, maybe now? That's too long 254 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Was a 93 I think 255 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,480 14 years ago 256 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,720 Cnet's formed yeah, it was 92 or 93 could have been 15 but I think it's 14 because you know, we were both on the original 257 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,200 Staff of the scene if the phenomenon which it was only it was a cable channel at the time 258 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,240 They didn't in fact I registered seen that dot com for them. Oh 259 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,440 Did you now yeah for haulsie and 260 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,560 Shellbee and in fact I hosted their email for I don't it must have been half a year or something like that 261 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,400 Yeah, you know that I don't think the I don't want to 262 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:26,960 Talk out of school here, but you know, I don't think the public generally realizes what a geeky nerd you really 263 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Let me ask you a question John 264 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,680 You know, they made an offer to me at the time to 265 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,920 You know to move out to San Francisco and work for Cnet 266 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,920 Which would have been a very substantial 267 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,560 Change of life for me. Oh although I I really was tempted by it 268 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,120 There are a number of reasons why I wasn't going to leave and wasn't going to do it, but the deal they offered 269 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Which was you know a reasonable money to do it. It was they are so still some risk 270 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,600 But there was like a whole shit load of options 271 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:06,080 Yeah, and I was just wondering if if the deal that you could you did launch with him you launched with the channel I believe and you were there for 272 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,240 God knows how long 273 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,360 And then you know, did you ever make any money off of that to those options? I mean was that a a good set up? 274 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:19,280 I was actually a I never took the there's a couple deals that were offered to me 275 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:28,720 And the deal I took was kind of a was unless I didn't want to really throw everything at those guys because I wasn't like a big fan necessarily of 276 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,600 See halls he had came up with his initial 277 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:38,080 schemes were to do a interactive TV play which was something it was dying and they kind of just stumble onto the internet 278 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,600 After the fact and it was and it wasn't until actually then I didn't actually refuse to do a deal with it 279 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,920 Right at the bat when you were still talking to him. I was done and then when they brought in Kevin Wendell 280 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,160 Oh right talk they talked to me into doing some workform and so I did some stuff there 281 00:25:52,160 --> 00:26:00,000 But it never you know I got some options. I never but I didn't make the kind of I mean I if I had jumped in when Wendell came on 282 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,600 I would have done pretty well for myself 283 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,920 I did I made some money. Let's put it that way but I didn't make the kind of money that Richard Hart made 284 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:15,600 Who's the guy who took your place crack and Richard Hart is retired now and doesn't apparently doesn't do anything 285 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,560 Last time I saw him was in a theater 286 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,040 He was sitting there was a full beard 287 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,560 He didn't you couldn't recognize him 288 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,120 I mean I didn't I don't want to say look like a bomb 289 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,760 But that's funny. You look better. Let's put it that way. So I think you did well 290 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,920 But you know it was a pretty risky situation at the time they did great 291 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,120 I actually should I could have probably pushed myself into a really 292 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,760 Important job there and 293 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:46,160 Then I would be retired myself, but yeah, you know, I'm not like I'm starving to death. Let's face it now and 294 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,440 The other question that is just popping up everywhere 295 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,040 Is does this mean he'll no longer be on twit 296 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,200 Yeah, it's funny people like the you know the twit thing is 297 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,280 I don't know what these guys are like twit is like some sort of a weird phenomenon. It's a kind of a call 298 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,920 It's a cult showing with the huge following. No, I'm still doing twit. I mean twit consists for me 299 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,040 I mean I actually actually do some work here at Pocho. I got to like you know produce a page and do stuff 300 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,280 Oh, oh god damn page.

I've got the show kind of figured out 506 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,000 Next week we should start having a show on and unfortunately the U.S. we have a holiday on Monday 507 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,760 We have these holidays once in a while. It's a bank holiday in the UK as well interestingly 508 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,920 You know really what what what what is the holiday there? I don't know it's well 509 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,760 It's strange here, you know, they don't always tell you what the holiday is it's just a bank holiday by the way 510 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,600 And the UK and Canada is boxing day for years and years 511 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:45,480 I can't say why did they celebrate boxing in those countries for just to take a holiday for boxing? 512 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,280 I don't even have that any good boxers. You're kidding me, right, right? You don't really know that 513 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,200 For years. I was thinking they don't get any good boxers in these countries. Why are they celebrating boxing day? 514 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,920 I haven't so such a hard time believing that 515 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,600 And so I find out it's like boxing day for thinking box stuff. I'll be gonna take back 516 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,840 I mean what kind of a holiday is that oh, man 517 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,200 Anyway, yeah, no, that is the day after Christmas here 518 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,560 Right, yeah, so day you take your box stuff up and take it back believe me. So 519 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,120 Anyway, the so we're gonna have a we'll have the thing going. I want people to subscribe to it 520 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:26,680 It is it'd be perfect for the drive the daily drive to work. You'll get the tech news the with you know the 521 00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:29,240 kind with snide comments 522 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,280 Probably I can just say hey 523 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,280 I live we got a new format 524 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,640 It's 525 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,640 What is angry guy? 526 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,640 Tech news snide comments 527 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,360 Yeah, well, there'll be more than that but the 528 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,320 It'll develop to because I'm not gonna you know, I'm gonna 529 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,280 I'm gonna develop the thing so it changes 530 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:54,440 It morphs into whatever people really want it to be but it's gonna be you know, it'll be it'll be valuable for anyone 531 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,920 In fact, I mean we have that the tag line is you know, probably the most important five minutes of your life 532 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,760 I like that. I do like that. It could be 533 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:10,120 The channel concept which I don't want to try even attempt to explain because it's like explaining Tvo and when you just use it 534 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,120 You get it 535 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,280 How are you what are you gonna do with that? I mean what would you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna set up. I'm gonna set up a 536 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,760 Manish of them. I set up five channels. I've been exploring what to put in them 537 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,520 And the channel concept that Potcho which is another reason I thought it would be worthwhile 538 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:32,200 Working for you guys is really some note of genius in terms of commercializing 539 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,760 the usage of this technology for people who drive you know who use 540 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:43,800 MP3 players or or iPods or whatever and they like to do these RSS downloads with the audio attached 541 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,240 The idea with the channel is that you can take a 542 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,080 A series of shows and wrap them in one RSS feed 543 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,800 So the user can just click on that one thing and then they get this entire 544 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,360 Channel full of material and 545 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,120 Which could be you know two shows ten shows a hundred shows. I mean obviously you don't want that many but 546 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,720 You know, I'm thinking in terms of like ten or twenty maybe and what I want to do is I want to set up 547 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:13,240 Chancellor people who you know they're more a little more specializing just listening to the news 548 00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:17,080 Most of these channels by the way will have my news cast because it seems silly not to 549 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:23,320 But I want to put together like a kind of a light channel of shows that people like to listen to that aren't really you know 550 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,320 They're they're the longer format shows like 551 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:33,240 Your show for example daily source code. Mm-hmm. It's a longer format now light show that people like to listen to it's very entertaining 552 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:41,720 You know it would be geek briefs would be in there probably she might actually get in a couple spots and and and some of these other shows some other vendors 553 00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:45,000 That have useful shows that are long formats 554 00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:50,920 There'd be a kind of just a pure new show that has nothing but just all the new shows stacked up there'd be the one 555 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:56,360 I'm having the most difficulty with is the IT channel, which is nothing but IT shows literally 556 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:02,200 Shows done by IT professionals for IT people. There's not going to be the most interesting of the group 557 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:07,960 But I can suspect that people that are in IT that have to commute to work will listen to this thing 558 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,680 Because that's you know, you want to know what the everyone's doing then I want to my favorite one 559 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:18,920 And now I do a gaming channel and then I would the one that I you know, I think that might some people might kind of get into 560 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:24,280 Is kind of the thorax favorites, which is which is not going to be just computer stuff. It's going to be what I think 561 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,360 You know, there's going to be some there might be a national geographic podcast or maybe 562 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:35,800 Local podcast okay and tucky and but you know, I'd be like my news of course and then may I might have John Madden's 563 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,800 Yeah, of course John Madden's 564 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:45,160 KCBA John Madden's got this great show. He does locally on the radio that they podcasted I think and I would put that in there for sure 565 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,120 Because it's really funny and people who don't like sports by the way 566 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,800 I won't like this channel because I'm kind of a sports nut as you discover when my phone accidentally called you 567 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,640 And I'm driving around when you're listening to that room guy was that what it was? 568 00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:03,960 Jim Rome is the best yeah because yeah, you but phone me like three times today and hey, you know what it was I 569 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:09,000 Sitting on the other thing is bouncing around on the seat and it called you and then you caught me listening to Jim 570 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,200 Rome or one of the other sports talk. It's embarrassing 571 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,440 To the fact that I listen to this stuff 572 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:21,240 But I tell you the truth Jim Rome to me is one of the greatest broadcasters that we've seen in this country for decades 573 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,080 And for a lot of different reasons it's not just because he's he's very entertaining 574 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,640 He has a style that's very distinctive 575 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,640 He has a following. He doesn't you know, you don't seem at Hollywood parties 576 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,880 He just does his own thing. He's got his own little world around him and he does this so well 577 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,120 He's of course making millions of dollars, but 578 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,640 It's like really you know when I first turned my thought it was like, who what? Who is this maniac? 579 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:51,080 This is the weirdest shot I've ever heard because he's actually developed his own language. Is he but he's he's syndicated? 580 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,480 He's on one of those huge radio syndication systems. Okay 581 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,680 John John oh the premier 582 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,040 Radio network is that what it is. Yeah, one day we'll go get him 583 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:09,160 Hey, you know what he needs to be podcasting more because right now they have you could pick up some of his material 584 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,960 But he he charges and it's a it's an awkward situation. It's not the same 585 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:20,120 Yeah, he'd be ideal actually his show is this is just but anyways good drive time stuff for me 586 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:25,480 But although I'm gonna probably get that my card doesn't have that cool connection where you can 587 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,920 Jack in your iPod 588 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:35,640 Yeah, I had a new car.
