--> 00:05:08,000 I'm not gonna say the new version of the site because it's, 48 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000 it's a new version of Potcha, really. 49 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Damn, there's some cool stuff. 50 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000 I'm like, this, I couldn't even start to tell you what it is. 51 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000 But it's something you'll want to use. 52 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000 It's not, it's not the site. 53 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000 Does that make any sense? 54 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Chris McIntyre is gonna do a screencast for the, 55 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000 I think for the Potcha producers. 56 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000 So then they can start saying how much they love it, 57 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 but they won't be able to explain it either. 58 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Oh boy, I was just thinking actually doing that song. 59 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000 I was like, wow, you know, it's a real bummer 60 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 that neither Patricia or Christina. 61 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000 I don't think they ever listened to the show. 62 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000 I know she would like the, the Butler song. 63 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000 I know she likes American Heartbreak. 64 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000 I know that, I know she likes Michael. 65 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000 And Martina. 66 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Do you hear a hum somewhere? 67 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000 I'm hearing something. 68 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Hold on. 69 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Oh my god, that should be better. 70 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Yeah, much better. 71 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 And I'm just thinking about, you know, 72 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000 I, I tell so much about what's going on and what I'm thinking 73 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000 on the show. 74 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 And I wonder, do I tell them? 75 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Do I forget to tell them stuff that I'm thinking sometimes 76 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000 because I think I've already told them or told someone. 77 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000 And I guess I've told you guys. 78 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Anyway, some of the things you gotta think about. 79 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000 You know, for the past, 80 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000 I gotta say eight or nine months. 81 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000 I've been receiving emails about the show called The Plugcast. 82 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 And I get asked to do interviews a lot. 83 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000 I pretty much decline every single one. 84 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 And usually mainstream interviews. 85 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 I don't even answer anymore. 86 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000 I'm just not interested. 87 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000 And mainly I don't do them because I know that my schedule 88 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000 is going to get messed up. 89 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000 I'm going to have to postpone to lay. 90 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000 I hate that. 91 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000 I really hate it. 92 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000 So I'd rather just say no, sorry. 93 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 I can't because I'm literally just too busy. 94 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000 I am busy. 95 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Look at it. 96 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000 It's 11.30 in doing my show. 97 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 And it's not like I've been hanging out. 98 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000 But I, I, when, so I think it's, 99 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000 I forget the guy's name. 100 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Anyway, the plugcast. 101 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000 He, he had his idea of, 102 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000 I don't know if it's the format for the show or whatever. 103 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Whatever the thought behind it was, 104 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000 you know, it's like why don't I get a whole bunch of people 105 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 to ask Adam to come on the show 106 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 and have other podcasters ask him. 107 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 You know, podcasters who I presume have appeared on the plugcast. 108 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 And you know, and the plug, I don't want to plug anything. 109 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 First of all, I have nothing to plug. 110 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000 And I really have nothing to say. 111 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 And I really don't have the time. 112 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000 You know, or I'm sure I'll schedule the time. 113 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 And then, you know, oh, sorry. 114 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Different time zone. 115 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Different continent. 116 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Yeah, sorry. 117 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Not going to work out. 118 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000 It sucks. 119 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000 I, I hate that out of everything. 120 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000 That's why I usually say no. 121 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 I'm getting pretty close to saying yes to the plugcast. 122 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000 After Zack sent in his version of an invitation 123 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000 for me to go on the show. 124 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Yeah, I'm super excited about it. 125 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000 You know, it's interesting about him. 126 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Nothing. 127 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000 What? 128 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Well, you tell me he's an asshole for me. 129 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000 No, from what he needs to. 130 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Like, he

experience that just confirmed that, um, last night, I was 203 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000 listening to, uh, your, uh, your, uh, your Wednesday episode. 204 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000 And, uh, some listener called in and I was just, uh, 205 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000 I wanted to pump up the volume a bit because I couldn't hear so well. 206 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Uh, because I don't wait the, uh, the headphones. 207 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Well, because, uh, I didn't forgot to mention I was in the tub. 208 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000 And so you can feel where this is going. 209 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Hold on a second. 210 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000 I just got a visual. 211 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000 I really didn't need to have realo. 212 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000 So I picked up the phone and it slipped and it went to the tub. 213 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000 And I also found out why the bathtub is worse than the toilet. 214 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Because if you have a bowl bath, like I do, you can't find it better. 215 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Oh, let me tell you. 216 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000 It wasn't easy for me to find my iPhone when it slipped into the toilet, 217 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000 pre-flush either. 218 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Okay. 219 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000 So, you know, and, and, and there was also obstruction going on. 220 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Find the phone. 221 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000 Anyway, so I lost a few extra precious seconds there with my Nokia in the water. 222 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 But, uh, I finally found it. 223 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000 I did the usual blow drying thing, opened it up. 224 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000 You know, all that's good stuff that you can't do with an iPhone. 225 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Take the battery out. 226 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Take the battery out. 227 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000 I'm the radiator in the morning and I work like a charm. 228 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000 So I just wanted to share this wonderful experience and, uh, Nokia. 229 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000 That's it. 230 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Okay. 231 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Have a nice day. 232 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Bye. 233 00:12:04,000 -->

happy that it came back to life. 237 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Uh, your connection didn't sound all about hot though. 238 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Were you called? 239 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Were you actually calling on the E61? 240 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Because it sounded a little bit muddled. 241 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000 It sounded like there was some bubbles still left in there. 242 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Oh, man, that's such a horrible feeling when that happens. 243 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 Oh, that sucks so bad. 244 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000 But it is true. 245 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000 You know, you, you open that sucker up. 246 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000 You rip the battery out. 247 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000 You

Curry at the end of their message. 262 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 And that he wants everybody to say, I love you, Adam Curry. 263 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000 And you agreed? 264 00:13:15,000 -->

00:16:32,000 Uh, uh, take that visual. 361 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:48,400 visual. Um, let me see. Man, what did you guys send me? Is anything good? I'm sorry for 362 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,840 I, you know, I do this and then I realize that I'm actually not saying anything. Oh, 363 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,040 here's something about I've been looking for Iranians to get on the show. This is a good one. 364 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Billy Waters. Adam, uh, I know some Iranians who fled Iran and now live in my country. 365 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,600 Iranians are gregarious, jolly, normal, noisy, pushy, nosy, just like everyone else everywhere 366 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:13,200 in the world. I was knocked flat by their openness and they have, uh, and they have some lunatics, 367 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,640 though, who mix religion with politics running the country. If you want, I can get you the number of 368 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,960 one who I'm sure would be willing to talk to you. I also know a guy who recently cycled the 369 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:29,520 bike from Ireland to China through Iran and it's only worry was being fed to death. He might be 370 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,280 wanting to talk to. Let me know if you want to hook up. Yeah, um, can you get me a female Iranian, 371 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:44,640 please? About a 5.10. Yeah, man, absolutely. Uh, I'd love to. That's what I asked for. I'd love 372 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,800 to speak to someone who's from, I'd love to speak to actually someone who's in Iran. They can make 373 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,960 phone calls, can't they? I mean, they've got, they have GSM technology. Can they call, can they call 374 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,520 the United States? Or can they call certainly they can call the United Kingdom? I mean, 375 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,120 I can't imagine that that country is completely isolated. I know they have internet. I know 376 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:10,160 they have bloggers. I know this. Gosh, so it's this one girl I met in Khan and, and I've forgotten 377 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:18,480 her name. I can't, um, I gotta find out who she was. She was the personal secretary of some 378 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,560 advertising agency Bigwig and she was from Iran and we were talking for like an hour and, uh, 379 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,880 she was telling me all this stuff about how young people are, you know, how metropolitan it is and 380 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,920 how they, how they, how they're into, I mean, she gave me some, uh, some blogs to, uh, I, I, I have 381 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,040 the piece of paper with a blog to look at or I had it. I don't have it anymore. I don't, I don't 382 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,680 remember her name. Uh, it's driving me crazy, but I know she could make a hook up. Shit, she would have been 383 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:51,680 great. Let's just try and find that. Hey, this is, uh, you know, going on to the, uh, the 384 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:57,200 Eisenhower quote that got a lot of response, uh, from the other day about the military industrial 385 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:03,520 complex, uh, Dave from New York said that you should check this quote out. I looked for an audio 386 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,320 version of it. Couldn't find it. I probably looked about 15, 20 minutes. So, and there was nothing, 387 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:14,240 uh, no video either, but I'll just read it to you. This is from 1954, uh, President Dwight D. Eisenhower 388 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:21,680 should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment, uh, unemployment 389 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:27,120 insurance, shit. Let me start again because I want to sound presidential. Should any political 390 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:32,560 party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm 391 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,640 programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny 392 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,480 splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil 393 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:52,160 millionaires and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible 394 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,880 and they are stupid. How about their apples? This guy Dwight, you know, there must be a book about 395 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:05,520 Dwight Eisenhower. I don't think I've ever read a book about him. I know apparently extremely 396 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,960 little about the man, but I'm in very impressed. He's like the Nostradamus of America. And he's 397 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:17,920 been predicting shit that is coming true in my lifetime. We cannot remain ignorant to this. 398 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:28,640 We cannot. I asked for a little more in depth explanation of Ron Paul stance on property rights 399 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,560 that has a few people, not quite up in arms, but disappointed or confused. And we've got a response. 400 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:40,560 Adam, Andy here from Portland, we're going to respond to your question about the proper 401 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:46,960 rights issue. If you guys are on ball, there's campaign and saying he's a strict whatever 402 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:53,040 interpretation. Constitution. Constitution of the Constitution. And the problem I have with it is simply 403 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,480 that it's an over-stimplification. If that can be possible. I know that the Constitution is 404 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:05,360 mainly focused on property rights. Yeah, I think that Dwight Eisenhower also said, keep it simple 405 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:11,120 stupid. That was him, wasn't it? I know that the Constitution is mainly focused on property rights. 406 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:18,560 It's a very short document. It's very short. Yes. And I think that easy to remember. 407 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,280 Society, we have going on here. There's a bit more context than that. And I feel like the 408 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,080 government, the federal government and the state government's roles in our lives is to support us 409 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:35,680 and protect us. Do protect us? To look out for us, to support us is not quite the right 410 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:43,920 phraseology. And help us out. We pay them. They should do what we want. And anyway, 411 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:51,280 it's a more complicated issue. I think they're just a strict property rights interpretation to 412 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,160 me have there. And that's about to get. Thanks for including me in your conversation. 413 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,200 I really enjoy your show. So, all right. Okay. So, that actually didn't tell me anything. 414 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:08,800 I don't understand the issue. I maybe I got the wrong, maybe I got the wrong comment. Am I just an 415 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,240 idiot? Oh, I'm on a second. Well, please don't answer that. Okay. 416 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,320 No, crap. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's gone wrong. I heard a couple other people 417 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:28,240 try and call in and explain it. I think it has to do with the government taking your land. 418 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,400 You have to understand at this point in time, you do not own the land that your house stands on. 419 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:41,840 No where except, hmmm. Was I going to say Texas again? I think it's Texas. 420 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,720 I'll have to go back and look at the constitution lessons that I posted on curry.com. I don't know 421 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,880 a couple months ago. You'll learn all about it there. Your car is not yours. It belongs to the 422 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,840 government. Okay. You do not hold the title to your car. You have a certificate of title. 423 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,200 You do not own the land that your house stands on. The government owns it. That's why they tax 424 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:11,520 you on it for using it. That in itself is unconstitutional. Anya. 425 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:19,440 This is a beautiful comment that came in. Hey Adam, touch here. Just got done listening to DSE 426 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:27,360 six nine six and just a few comments with the pizza hut and Burger King being on the military 427 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,280 Yeah, so this is part of my my thoughts about the military industrial complex and how 428 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,640 our tax dollars for the war against terror are being fed into mainly corporate America. 429 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,080 And that's where all this money is going. It's not just to put our boys and girls into the 430 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:54,880 sand to throw hot lead back and forth with an unknown enemy. Now it's to pump up revenues of these 431 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:02,240 companies by giving them business. And so yeah, Burger King Pizza Hut right there in Bosnia and Iraq 432 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:09,040 feeding our troops. I was in the army for 12 years and okay first of all. Thank you for your service. 433 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,920 And I don't mean that like those bullshit politicians when they say it on sea span. I really 434 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:20,000 fucking mean it. A lot of the fuel for you know you've been in the field two weeks and Burger King 435 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:27,840 and Pizza Hut. That's a fucking taste at home. Okay, yeah, you know, but if it was a look, if it was 436 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:38,480 apple pie, dude, that's shit'll kill you. That's more dangerous than terror itself. So I understand. 437 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,720 I really do understand. But you know, sure, you know, there has to be a limit to this. 438 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,840 Maybe only one or the other. It doesn't have to be both, you know. That's that's my point. 439 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:58,800 War is ugly. And a war zone is ugly. And it just goes beyond the imagination as to what's 440 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:04,720 being put into this war. You know, so much money is being spent on so many things. 441 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,400 Ah, it's too late in the week for me to get into this. All right, I'm sorry. Oh, food. 442 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:18,560 And well, oh, yeah, there's a song I think you should play on the DSC by a band called Valorant, 443 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:25,200 or Valorant, whichever way you pronounce it. It's spelled V-A-L-E-R-I-A-M and it's children of the 444 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:32,000 menicide deals with what you're talking about about corporations taking over our world, our mind, 445 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:39,600 everything. And just a suggestion on the Ron Paul thing. Every site I go to, whether if you see 446 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:49,600 N-N-N-N-B-C-A-B-C-Fox, Google, Yahoo, I search for Ron Paul. Now, just think if you had all 100,000 people 447 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,360 always searching for that, it would go to the top of the search end, maybe get a little publicity. 448 00:25:55,360 --> 00:26:01,840 Anyway, that's just my two cents. And, uh, oh yeah, fuck, no, of, whatever. Yeah. 449 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,600 All right, man. Thanks for the search engine optimization tip. That helps. 450 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,760 Sounds pretty good. I haven't actually listened to it, but I'll just take your recommendation 451 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:20,160 because you have done your service, my friend. Valorant, I guess. Children of the men's side. 452 00:26:21,250 --> 00:29:13,600 [ Music ] 453 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600 We're the children of the men's side. 454 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,600 We're the children of the men's side. 455 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:29,260 Yeah, okay, so let's not say we don't learn anything here on the Chuck. 456 00:29:29,260 --> 00:29:35,480 Menticide, the undermining or destruction of a person's mind or will, especially by systematic 457 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:42,040 means, such as mental and physical torture, extensive interrogation, suggestion, training 458 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,400 and narcotics or brainwashing. 459 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,400 Menticide. 460 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,840 I like it. 461 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,600 By the way, that sounds like an episode of the Daily Source Code, doesn't it?

520 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:08,640 Well, the only way to do it, the only way to make it work is if everybody does it simultaneously 521 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,440 all once, all together. 522 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,480 If you need to do that, no matter what everybody, I mean, the whole country, I mean, 523 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,760 another country to demand a decision. 524 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,480 I think even 10% of the United States population will be enough to have dramatic effects 525 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,480 on Washington. 526 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,480 I mean, if 30 million people stood up and said, no, what are they going to do? 527 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,480 Ignore them? 528 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,120 If 30 million people, you don't ignore 30 million people. 529 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,240 But how do you organize? 530 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:40,360 How do you motivate and how you orchestrate the actions of 30 million people? 531 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,360 That's the problem. 532 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,520 That's where they have us by the balls. 533 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,360 Because the power of dollars, even if it took away all of our freedoms, the power of 534 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,400 dollars, 255 million people versus how many military. 535 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,120 I mean, short of nookiness is nothing they can do to stop us. 536 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,560 But all they have to do is cause us to stop ourselves. 537 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,760 So think about that. 538 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,400 It's not about standing up and saying, no, it's about how to get enough people to stand 539 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,840 up and say, no, simultaneously, in the unison, that's the problem. 540 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,000 How do you organize that many people? 541 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,640 Just don't think about, fuck you, Adam Gary. 542 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,200 OK, I'll let you slide for that one. 543 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,880 OK, so I'm listening to this at the office. 544 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,480 And then the female comes in from a raw, uh, 545 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,920 crotatual thing. 546 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,120 Adam, love the show. 547 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,120 This short video is great. 548 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,320 I think we would end up generates an interest with your listeners, uh, 549 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,760 which he found by a Boeing Boeing, and I will put that link in the show notes. 550 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,960 But you're going to be able to remember this one because it's a website that you can find 551 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,800 at storyofstuff.com. 552 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,320 And it is literally, um, the story of stuff. 553 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,680 Well, I'm like, one of my jacks is host. 554 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:54,560 Come on, bitch. 555 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,560 OK. 556 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,400 So let me, uh, since, um, since this is audio, I'm going to, 557 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,960 I'm going to play a piece from this for you. 558 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,840 It's kind of, it's like a widescreen kind of format. 559 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,280 There's a woman who, of course, I forgot in her name. 560 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,440 And that actually is quite important. 561 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,040 But she's kind of a superimposed over, uh, one, two, three, 562 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,560 over five, five drawings in the background. 563 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,680 And so it's five chapters of the story of stuff. 564 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,760 And it's, uh, it's not really that short. 565 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,120 It's quite long, actually. 566 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,960 Uh, but the, the five stories, the five chapters are extraction, production, 567 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,200 distribution, consumption, and disposal. 568 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,840 And then, of course, she has an alternative way. 569 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,720 And this is really about how we're raping the earth, 570 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:40,000 to manufacture, shit, create toxins, the toxins, 571 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,720 go into all the products that we make, um, 572 00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:47,040 the products are designed to, to not last long, or it's a throwaway 573 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600 products. You know, we have a throwaway culture. 574 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,960 And then, of course, this stuff, uh, only a small percentage, 575 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,840 is actually recycled, you know, all of this, uh, you know, 576 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,120 we're killing the earth. That's what this is. 577 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,200 You want, you understand that when you see it, 578 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,240 you'll say, I understand the story, but you should actually sit through it and watch it, 579 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:04,320 because, um, it's a good story. 580 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,040 It's good to be reminded and, uh, particularly, um, when she talks about 581 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,720 government and big business. 582 00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:13,280 And the cartoons are kind of funny and very illustrative. 583 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,560 I'm sure my daughter's going to watch. 584 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,720 I hope so. I'll, uh, if I recommend it to her, she'll never watch it. 585 00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:23,040 I'll try and get her one of her friends to recommend it to her, um, 586 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,120 but there's a piece in the middle that, and it just, it like hit me, 587 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:34,560 like, whoa, I have the solution to how we can actually create a positive, 588 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:43,280 a positive show of force to demonstrate against the, let's just call the 589 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:48,240 industrial complex, because it's not just military, big part of it, by the way. 590 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,200 But we can actually, we have, we've had the control that our fingertips for years, 591 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,720 and we haven't even understood that we have the power. 592 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:02,320 And to enforce this power, actually, enriches our lives, 593 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,960 literally, and riches our lives. 594 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,640 If you take it in one literal sense, there's a couple of them. 595 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,040 So I just want to play this one part called consumption. 596 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,760 And I think you can drop into the middle of the story. 597 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,840 So right now, you see, there's this, uh, we've gone from, uh, 598 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,200 extraction of raw materials from the earth, of course, in their world countries. 599 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,720 Into production, we create toxins, we blow toxins into the air, everyone's toxic, we're all going to die. 600 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:37,760 Then it goes over to distribution, you know, Walmart, Apple, Microsoft, uh, yeah, 601 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,760 hardware, um, 602 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:50,880 came out, no, Walmart, um, you know, the Sears, uh, radio shack, whatever, big distribution, consumer goods. 603 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:51,920 Thank you. 604 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,000 Then it goes into trash, I take, you know, trash out, and then how we get rid of trash, and 605 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,640 and how basically, you know, we're sucking the earth dry, okay. 606 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,440 But then there's this one little golden arrow, which is the consumption part. 607 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,080 Please pay attention to this. Just listen, sit back. 608 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,440 You'll, you'll hit the part that I really, I can't fast forward. This thing otherwise, it probably would have 609 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,840 cuted up. I know I'm getting to it. I know I would have cuted up a different 610 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:25,600 different spot, but it'll be worth a couple of minutes to listen to this chapter from storyofstuff.com. 611 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,880 That brings us to the golden arrow of consumption. 612 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,040 This is the heart of the system, the engine that drives it. 613 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,920 It is so important that protecting this arrow has become the top priority for both of these 614 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,360 guys. That's why after 9-11, when our country was in shock and President Bush could have suggested 615 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:50,480 any number of appropriate things to grieve, to pray, to hope. No, he said to shop, to shop. 616 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:57,600 We have become a nation of consumers. Our primary identity has become that of being consumers, 617 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:03,760 not mothers, teachers, farmers, but consumers. The primary way that our value is measured 618 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:10,080 and demonstrated is by how much we contribute to this arrow, how much we consume, and do we, 619 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:17,760 we shop, and shop, and shop, keep the materials flowing, and flow they do. Guess what percentage 620 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,880 of total materials flow through this system is still in product or use six months after 621 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:34,240 their date of sale in North America. 50 percent? 20? No. 1 percent. 1. In other words, 99 percent 622 00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:38,640 of the stuff we harvest mine, processed transport, 99 percent of the stuff we run through this 623 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:45,760 system is trashed within six months. Now, how can we run a planet with that level of materials 624 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,680 throughput? It wasn't always like this. The average US person now consumes twice as much as they 625 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:57,440 did 50 years ago. Ask your grandma. In her day stewardship and resourcefulness and thrift were 626 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:04,800 valued. So how did this happen? Well, it didn't just happen. It was designed. Shortly after World 627 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:11,040 War II, these guys were figuring out how to ramp up the economy, retailing analyst Victor Lebow 628 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:16,000 articulated the solution that's become the norm for the whole system. He said, are enormously 629 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,640 productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying 630 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,680 and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction in 631 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:32,000 consumption, many of things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever accelerating rate. 632 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,680 President Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisors Chairman said that the American economy's 633 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:43,680 ultimate purpose is to produce more consumer goods. More consumer goods are ultimate purpose, 634 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,600 not provide health care, education, or safe transportation, or sustainability, or justice, 635 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:55,440 consumer goods. How did they get us to jump on board this program so enthusiastically? Well, 636 00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,320 two of their most effective strategies are planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence. 637 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,000 Planed obsolescence is another word for designed for the dumb. It means they actually make 638 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,720 stuff to be useless as quickly as possible, so we'll chuck it and buy a new one. It's obvious 639 00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,160 with things like plastic bags and coffee cups, but now it's even big stuff. Mob, DVDs, cameras, 640 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:21,520 barbecues, even everything, even computers. Have you noticed that when you buy a computer now, 641 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,520 the technology is changing so fast that in just a couple of years, it's actually an impediment 642 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,480 to communication? I was curious about this, so I opened up a big desktop computer to see what was 643 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,840 inside. And I found out that the piece that changes each year is just a tiny little piece in the 644 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:40,640 corner, but you can't just change it at one piece because each new version is a different shape, 645 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:46,480 so you've got to chuck the whole thing and buy a new one. So I was reading industrial design 646 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:52,000 journals from the 1950s when planned obsolescence was really catching on. These designers are so open 647 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:57,600 about it. They actually discuss how fast can they make stuff break that still leaves the consumer 648 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,800 having enough faith in the product to go out and buy another one. It was so intentional, but stuff 649 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:08,240 can not break fast enough to keep this arrow afloat. So there's also perceived obsolescence. 650 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:15,200 Now perceived obsolescence is to throw away stuff that is still perfectly useful. How do they do 651 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,800 that? Well, they change the way the stuff looks. So if you bought your stuff a couple of years ago, 652 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,960 everyone can tell that you haven't contributed to this arrow recently. And since the way we 653 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,920 demonstrate our value is contributing to this arrow, it can be embarrassing. Like I've had the 654 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:35,920 same fat white computer monitor on my desk for five years, my coworker just got a new computer. 655 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,840 She has a flat shiny sleek monitor. The matches are computer, matches are phone, even a 656 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,960 pen stand. She looks like she's driving in spaceship central and I kind of like going 657 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,720 about a washing machine on my desk. Fashion is another prime example of this. Have you ever wondered 658 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:57,520 why women shoot heels go from fat one year to skin is the next to fat to skinny? It's not because 659 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,680 there's some debate about which heel structure is the most healthy for women's feet. It's because 660 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:06,320 wearing fat heels in a skinny heel year shows everybody that you haven't contributed to that 661 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,880 arrow as recently. So you're not as valuable as that person in skinny heels next to you or more 662 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:18,240 likely in some ad. It's to keep us buying new shoes. Advertisements and media in general plays a big 663 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:24,640 role in this. Each of us in the US is targeted with over 3,000 advertisements a day. We see more 664 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:29,440 advertisements in one year than people 50 years ago saw in a lifetime. And if you think about it, 665 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,720 what's the point of an ad except to make us unhappy with what we have? So 3,000 times today, 666 00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:37,280 we're told our hair is wrong. Our skin is wrong. Our clothes are wrong. Our furniture is 667 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:43,200 wrong. Our car is wrong. We are wrong, but it can all be made right if we just go shopping. Media also 668 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:48,400 helps by hiding all of this and all of this. So the only part of the material's economy we see 669 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:54,240 is the shopping. The extraction, production and disposal all happens outside of our field of vision. 670 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:00,720 So in the US, we have more stuff than ever before, but polisho that our national happiness is 671 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:06,800 actually declining. Our national happiness peaked in the 1950s. The same time that this consumption 672 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:14,640 maniac exploded. Interesting coincidence. I think I know why. We have more stuff but we have less 673 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:20,640 time for the things that really make us happy. Friends, family, leisure time. We're working harder 674 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,840 than ever. Some analysts say we have less leisure time than any time since feudal society. 675 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,760 And do you know what the two main activities are that we do with the scant leisure time we have? 676 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:36,480 Watch TV and shop. In the US, we spend three to four times as many hours shopping as our 677 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,800 counterparts in Europe do. So we're in this ridiculous situation where we go to work maybe 678 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,280 two jobs even when we come home and we're exhausted. So we plopped in on our new couch and watch TV. 679 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,360 And the commercials tell us you suck. So we got to go to them all the bisoning to feel better. 680 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,080 And then you got to go to work more to pay for the stuff you just bought. You come home and 681 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,040 you're more tired. You sit down and you watch more TV. And it tells you go to them all again. 682 00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:02,240 And we're on this crazy work, watch, spend treadmill. And we could just stop now you see that's the 683 00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:06,320 paint that's the piece. We spent all this stuff. Shut up. Thank you. That's the piece I really 684 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:15,200 want to get to hear. Wow. What an eye opener perceived obsolescence. That is indeed a fantastic 685 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:21,840 model. It's never been mine, but it's the business model of fashion. As an example, 686 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:28,640 it's the business model of cars of consumer goods without a doubt perceived obsolescence. Fantastic. 687 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:36,640 So the easiest way is to slow down the consumer spending. I don't know. We don't have to stop it. 688 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,920 But the good news is when you slow down consumer spending when you and I start spending less. 689 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:49,920 We actually have more money. What a concept. What a great protest this could be. Stop the 690 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:59,120 menicide. Stop shopping. Now obviously double edged sword here because I'm a part of this machine 691 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:05,280 or we're starting up or we're kind of in the mid cycle of a of a new version of this. 692 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:13,680 And you know, I'm a commercial MF. I got no problem with making money with advertising. 693 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:23,440 But perhaps we can look at what we're buying first and foremost. Reusables, green, etc, etc. 694 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:31,520 But really just slow it down. Particularly this perceived obsolescence. I think that's a big deal. 695 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:38,880 I really do. I, you know, when when someone is trying to sell you something, maybe this is 696 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:44,960 the best plan of attack when someone is trying to sell you something because last year's model is 697 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,440 uncool. And that's the product you should not be buying. Then you're buying into the whole 698 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,920 work really hard. Have TV tell you you suck because you don't have the latest and the greatest. 699 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:02,080 Go shopping, go work harder to go make some money for that is a deadly deadly circle of 700 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:07,760 cycle that we're in. I can see I can see my own daughter in this cycle easily easily. 701 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,360 And even though she gets minimal input from television because she really doesn't watch that much TV. 702 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:18,080 Well, I'm sure banner ads and shit, you know, magazine, whatever fashion fashion is doing it. 703 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:24,240 Maybe we should start a new fashion line. I have the wrong bag. Just put it just a bag, a hand bag that says 704 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,400 wrong bag. You know how women will look at it. She's got the wrong bag. 705 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:35,760 Can you believe it? She's got the wrong bag. Look at those heels. Wrong heels. Just make it like the red products, 706 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:41,440 you know? Instead of saying red or instead of saying Gucci, just wrong. That's even better. 707 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:47,520 That's, uh, I've got a new brand, the wrong brand. I've got the wrong bag. I've got the wrong car. 708 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:53,520 I've got the wrong shirt. Excellent. Hey, Chris Mac, let's start making those up. Let's 709 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:59,520 start making up some t-shirts trademark. I'm calling it right now. We're going for the wrong brand. 710 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:07,200 What a great idea. Stop the menicide by wrong. Stop the menicide. I say bye wrong. 711 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,240 Oh, I should wrap this up. 712 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:16,880 I'm good. Chris and River Town. I can to call you and leave comments in real time. I'll actually 713 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,400 pause your podcast and call up and leave a comment. What I just heard, 714 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,560 course, that was about 30 seconds before we change from buck you haven't carried. I love you haven't 715 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,960 carried. So I got another one for eight updates. I fucking love you. I'm carry. 716 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:36,080 That's a great one. All right, uh, one more song, uh, not pod safe, but uh, 717 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,680 very appropriate for the time of year. Happy Hanukkah, everybody. 718 00:48:50,400 --> 00:49:09,200 Good old young Haka, it's time for Hanukkah. So much fun, Haka, to celebrate Hanukkah. 719 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,200 Oh, my God. 720 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,840 Hanukkah is the best of all of us. 721 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,720 Instead of one day have a presence. We get eight. 722 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,440 Where do you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree? 723 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,160 Here's our new list of people who are Jewish. 724 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,440 Swallow slide you and play. 725 00:49:47,440 --> 00:51:03,680 [ Music ] 726 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,680 Still not a Jew. 727 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,320 The guess who is the guy who does the voice for Scooby-Doo. 728 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,200 Rob Dylan was born a Jew. Then he wasn't but now he's back. 729 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,880 Mary Tyler Moore's husband is Jewish. 730 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,880 Costware pretty good in the sack. 731 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:30,000 Yes, you got barbets fitted on the PGA tour. 732 00:51:30,000 --> 00:52:16,250 [ Music ] 733 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:30,080 That's a new updated version of the Hanukkah song. I don't know how old it is. 734 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:36,160 I was familiar with the first one. It's like a new list of Jews, fantastic. Happy Hanukkah, 735 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,920 the Hanukkah song. Nice to hear some actual vinyl crackling there. 736 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,360 Haven't heard that in a long time. 737 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:46,960 Okay, so I think we've got a whole new fashion statement. We've got a whole new A to protest. 738 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,880 We could roll this out globally. Stop the men aside. 739 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:58,000 By wrong. I just love it. I can see you the wrong brand everywhere. 740 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:05,760 And good old products made in the USA, by the way. And recyclable reusable products. By wrong. 741 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,640 I don't know if I'm going to be able to do a food bar Friday for you tomorrow because I'm 742 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:15,200 actually on the plain home. Thank goodness Friday afternoon. We've got early morning Friday 743 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:20,720 meetings. I won't be back in the condo until late Thursday night when I'd normally do the show. 744 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,920 I got a pack because I got to take my bag with me to the meeting. So I just don't know if I'm 745 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,200 going to have time because you know, a food bar takes a little prep with songs and all that stuff. 746 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:35,600 So I'll make it up to you if I don't just remember. Man, there's so many things to 747 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,000 remember. You've got to live your life with passion. You've got to enjoy your freedom. 748 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,240 And we've got to stop the men aside. Vote for Ron Paul and shop wrong. 749 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,480 Another pod show podcast.
