WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:06.320
Before we get started, let me
remind you of the following
results or events predicted

00:06.320 --> 00:07.320
on these things.

00:07.320 --> 00:09.680
The name of the material is from
actual results.

00:09.680 --> 00:14.400
The factors that could cause
actual events or results to
differ from expectations include

00:14.400 --> 00:19.960
lack of growth, intense
competition in our interest
rate, integration failures,
changes

00:19.960 --> 00:24.640
in government regulation,
operational failures, or looking
at things like that.

00:24.640 --> 00:27.680
All right, some of the volumes
of today should not be applied
upon as representing

00:27.680 --> 00:32.240
our internet at the beginning of
the 20th of the 20th, while we
make a light update for

00:32.240 --> 00:36.880
what we say is that something's
a future we need to not to do
it, so even if we're not

00:36.880 --> 00:41.880
interested in it.

00:41.880 --> 00:51.760
A casting, all's like Adam
Curry, howdy everybody, welcome
to the Daily Source Code for
Wednesday,

00:51.760 --> 00:55.160
December 8, 2004, coming to you
from Curry College.

00:55.160 --> 01:03.040
I'm Adam Curry, it is quarter
past 11 in the evening, big day
today, went to London, took

01:03.040 --> 01:06.040
a train, it's been a couple of
years.

01:06.040 --> 01:13.440
I don't know, man, I got to talk
about these English trains.

01:13.440 --> 01:17.080
I only hear English people
complain about the trains.

01:17.080 --> 01:19.280
I thought it was a pretty
fucking great experience.

01:19.280 --> 01:22.720
Seriously, I had a really nice
ass train.

01:22.800 --> 01:25.800
I'm not a train guy, maybe I've
just been missing out on trains.

01:25.800 --> 01:33.800
Good matters, is your Daily
Source Code, will we try to
bring you 40 minutes of 40
minutes of

01:33.800 --> 01:35.280
well-party?

01:35.280 --> 01:40.720
40 minutes of users and
developers partying together, or
maybe there are no secrets, only

01:40.720 --> 01:43.000
information you don't yet have.

01:43.000 --> 01:50.120
And while we're on the power of
pure intellect, let's start off
with an audio comment that

01:50.120 --> 01:56.440
is influential for the entire
show.

01:56.440 --> 01:58.760
Hello Adam and have everybody.

01:58.760 --> 02:02.480
This is Chris Penard from
Streetport, Louisiana, and
you're listening to the Daily
Source Code

02:02.480 --> 02:03.840
with Adam Curry.

02:03.840 --> 02:07.160
Adam, I wanted to tell you I
enjoy the non-reverbs sound of
your cottage.

02:07.160 --> 02:10.080
I hope you get broadband soon
and best wishes from the States.

02:10.080 --> 02:12.280
You've inspired me to create a
podcast on my own.

02:12.280 --> 02:14.080
Now only have to think of a
subject.

02:14.080 --> 02:16.080
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

02:16.080 --> 02:17.680
Subject enough right there.

02:17.680 --> 02:27.400
Okay, so after yesterday's
source code where I basically
asked everybody, no, I'm sorry,

02:27.400 --> 02:38.080
I asked everybody, you know,
what you thought about the
reverb, I'd say 75% of all
comments

02:38.080 --> 02:41.040
were predominantly negative.

02:41.040 --> 02:44.520
In other words, get rid of the
goddamn reverb.

02:44.520 --> 02:47.040
We were just getting used to the
sound of the cottage.

02:47.040 --> 02:53.080
So the reverb is off, you can
still hear a little bit of the
room because I don't have

02:53.080 --> 02:54.360
anything up on the wall yet.

02:54.360 --> 02:57.560
You've got my gold records.

02:57.560 --> 02:59.360
Gold records on the wall?

02:59.360 --> 03:03.960
My picture of me and many
celebrities.

03:03.960 --> 03:08.880
So actually, I think that if I'm
lucky this weekend, it's finally
time for my office.

03:08.880 --> 03:13.160
Then we've done just about
everything else in the house and
then my office is last.

03:13.160 --> 03:18.840
And the reason it's last because
I have the most shit that has to
be sorted through.

03:18.840 --> 03:25.520
So anyway, back to the reverbs,
the reverb is basically off.

03:25.520 --> 03:29.960
However, I have added some more
cowbell.

03:29.960 --> 03:32.800
I think that makes the show much
better.

03:32.800 --> 03:34.280
Don't you?

03:34.280 --> 03:36.920
Can never have too much cowbell,
you know, basically.

03:36.920 --> 03:44.760
So anyway, I had an appointment
with my senior private banker,
her name is Kherty.

03:44.760 --> 03:45.760
She works for Mace Pearson.

03:45.760 --> 03:49.000
She's been our banker for,
that's enough fucking cowbell.

03:49.000 --> 03:55.360
She's been our banker for,
should I know, five years, I
guess, and she really takes care

03:55.360 --> 03:57.160
of a whole bunch of shit.

03:57.160 --> 04:00.560
And I have a complicated life,
or I'm trying to get away from
her very complicated life

04:00.560 --> 04:05.120
with all kinds of companies and
structures and crap in the
Netherlands and Belgium.

04:05.120 --> 04:09.440
And here, I just want to have a
simple, and I have it, a simple
bank account, an internet

04:09.440 --> 04:14.600
bank account that I can look at,
I can pay my bills, I've got a
direct debit card, you know,

04:14.600 --> 04:19.040
we've got everything is online
within my world, within my
universe.

04:19.040 --> 04:22.200
And all the other shit is
basically being sorted out.

04:22.200 --> 04:27.280
But anyway, so Kherty is,
besides being beautiful, is an
excellent banker.

04:27.280 --> 04:32.480
And it's always fun to, she came
over from Amsterdam for some
meetings and so she said,

04:32.480 --> 04:34.920
you know, why don't we hook up
for lunch and I'm like, yeah,
yeah, I'll meet you in the city.

04:34.920 --> 04:35.920
No problem.

04:35.920 --> 04:39.520
You know, having never been to
the city from, in fact, we've
been here for two weeks.

04:39.520 --> 04:40.520
I haven't ventured in the
London.

04:40.520 --> 04:44.400
I've just been here sitting in
the, at the cottage in in
Guilford, having a good old

04:44.400 --> 04:48.000
time exploring Starbucks, which
I still visit every single day.

04:48.000 --> 04:51.200
I haven't done a podcast from
there because it's just the
vibe, it's kind of worked out

04:51.200 --> 04:55.040
where I've been doing stuff in
the cottage, then uploading from
Starbucks.

04:56.000 --> 05:00.720
And this will actually have to
upload during the night anyway.

05:04.400 --> 05:10.000
So I mean, my big mouth said,
okay, lunch, I'll meet you at
the, was it the Great Eastern
hotel,

05:10.000 --> 05:13.360
which is Liverpool Street
Station at noon.

05:13.360 --> 05:18.480
And I figured, well, you know,
I'll have a, a car picking me up
and take me to the station at
1030.

05:19.440 --> 05:21.760
And yeah, radio cars here are
pretty normal.

05:22.240 --> 05:27.680
Just cost, you know, like a
pound at a half or something and
take me from, from the, from the
cottage

05:27.680 --> 05:29.680
to the station because it's not
all that far.

05:30.480 --> 05:34.240
And it was one of those perfect
days, you know, when you walk
into the station,

05:34.880 --> 05:38.320
you walk up to the window, you
say, I got to go, you know, to
Waterloo Station.

05:38.320 --> 05:42.160
I was thinking I'd take a cab
from Waterloo Station to
Liverpool Street Station.

05:42.160 --> 05:47.600
I mean, you can take the, the
tube, which is the, the subway.

05:47.600 --> 05:50.960
I really wanted to go above
ground, so I could, you know,
get a little vibe of the city.

05:51.600 --> 05:55.200
And, you know, walk up to the
window, got my, got my ticket.

05:55.200 --> 05:58.320
I chose for a first class ticket
because I want to see what that
was like first, of course.

06:00.160 --> 06:05.440
Being a stop that I am, the
elite fucking stop that I am,
and it was really nice.

06:05.440 --> 06:11.920
I mean, it was kind of like a
luxury airliner, you know, what
used to be economy class,

06:11.920 --> 06:17.520
and I'm talking about 25 years
ago, only now the seats, you
know, still go back further than
those days.

06:18.320 --> 06:23.520
You have your own little power
supply, so you have 220 volts
there for your laptop and door
for your cell phone.

06:24.560 --> 06:26.800
And it's really nice and quiet.
And what I noticed was,

06:27.680 --> 06:32.560
the suspension of the train is
unfucking believable. I don't
know if it's just the first
class train.

06:33.280 --> 06:38.160
Maybe the first class car has,
has extra suspension, but I
mean, it was like riding on air.

06:38.160 --> 06:43.680
It was just nothing at all what
I remembered about a train ride.
And it was only like 35 minutes.

06:43.760 --> 06:47.920
I'm at Waterloo Station, hop in
the cab, 12 minutes later I'm
there, door to door,

06:49.120 --> 06:54.560
less than an hour. Unfucking
real. And I thought, you know, I
was in for at least an hour and
a half

06:55.120 --> 07:00.000
ordeal, but the train is almost
nonstop. And on the way back,
almost exactly the same thing,

07:00.000 --> 07:03.760
you know, after a great lunch
and a little bit of war driving
in the cab, I picked up.

07:03.760 --> 07:09.440
I must have picked up 15
different, uh, open Wi-Fi
signals on the way back, um,

07:09.520 --> 07:13.840
actually trying to connect, uh,
but we weren't sitting in
traffic long enough to, uh,

07:13.840 --> 07:19.040
to actually, you know, have any
luck of, uh, of, of down or
uploading anything on some open
Wi-Fi.

07:19.040 --> 07:22.400
There were a couple of open
Wi-Fi's according to, uh, I
stumble or which I use.

07:24.000 --> 07:28.160
Um, and again, on the way back,
it was, I was backed by, uh, by
four o'clock. It was awesome,
you know,

07:28.160 --> 07:32.800
off the Starbucks on the way
home, uh, sucked down some, uh,
podcasts, the Gilmore gang,
specifically,

07:32.800 --> 07:36.960
which I haven't listened to yet.
And also it was great on the
train. I had a commute, you
know,

07:36.960 --> 07:44.320
after a long time, and there I
was, um, chuckley, about on and
droop. Uh, with, you know,

07:44.320 --> 07:48.880
the suits around me looking
going like, what the, what's the
sad weird guy with those weird

07:48.880 --> 07:54.480
shoes and, and he's kind of
weird hair. I got my eggs. If
you don't know what they are,

07:54.480 --> 08:01.600
eggs, they're basically
Australian, ugly ass Australian
boots, which are kind of furry
and they're

08:01.680 --> 08:09.760
made from, uh, sheep skin, but
the sheep was killed humanly or
some crap marketing story like
that.

08:09.760 --> 08:15.120
Which, of course, is probably
completely true, um, but, yeah,
nonetheless. So anyway,

08:15.120 --> 08:20.560
had a great day in London. Uh,
really, uh, happy about the, the
connections. I had no idea
what's

08:20.560 --> 08:25.440
going to be, um, yeah, really so
incredibly easy to get back and
forth. In fact, if I had one

08:25.440 --> 08:29.840
Christina's in school, Patricia
and I could literally just
decide to say, hey, let's go
have lunch in

08:29.840 --> 08:33.440
the city and we could, you know,
hop off, drive down to the
station and go. It would be
awesome.

08:33.440 --> 08:37.920
Oh, and Patricia had her first
drive today. I mean, I've been
doing all the driving since you,

08:37.920 --> 08:42.320
you know, we have to drive on
the left hand side and we have a
right hand drive car, which
means

08:42.320 --> 08:47.120
you sit on the left hand side.
So it's still a bit confusing.
And, um, so the other day I came
home

08:47.680 --> 08:51.680
around 530 from Starbucks and it
was dark and I said, come on,
let's go. We're going to go to

08:51.680 --> 08:56.880
Sainsbury's going to go to the,
and which is, that's a good, uh,
three, four, about four, five

08:56.960 --> 09:01.920
kilometers, lots of roundabouts
that you have to go around. Um,
and producer to great, you know,

09:01.920 --> 09:06.880
it was, uh, yeah, especially for
the first time and in the dark,
which I specifically made or do.

09:06.880 --> 09:12.640
I, I noticed that I picked up a
couple of instructional, um,
habits from, uh, Wing Commander

09:12.640 --> 09:18.080
William, my, um, helicopter
instructor and all my, I should,
my flight instructor period. I
got

09:18.080 --> 09:23.680
a call, I'm missing. It's like
my wing, wingman, you know, my
flying buddy and miss those
guys,

09:23.680 --> 09:28.320
him and Nick the stick. I got to
catch up with him soon. I got to
catch up with him. I got to get

09:28.320 --> 09:32.880
flying and hold on a sec. Do you
want to go out, Chess? I'm going
to go out, girl. Okay, hold on.
I'll

09:32.880 --> 09:36.880
tell you what, why don't you
listen to this promo. I'm going
to let the dog out of the, uh,
out of my

09:36.880 --> 09:40.960
office here. Uh, uh, uh, uh,
it's almost like the old days,
isn't it?

09:44.960 --> 09:52.400
Hitting you right between the
years with the message of hope,
love and good news. This is
light spring.

09:52.400 --> 09:58.400
And I'm Steve Webb, you're host.
Here at Life Spring, we want to
tell you about the one who loves

09:58.400 --> 10:04.960
you unconditionally and who gave
his life for you, Jesus Christ.
Here you'll find music,

10:04.960 --> 10:13.920
conversation, and reasons to
believe. Our website is
calpm1.org slash podcast.htm.

10:13.920 --> 10:19.360
Hey Adam, thanks for this brand
new avenue communication. We all
call podcasting and thanks

10:19.360 --> 10:23.360
everybody for listening. I'm out
of here.

10:25.360 --> 10:32.560
Thanks everybody. The Lord says
everybody give me a bowing. Oh,
man, perfect. I'm telling you,

10:32.560 --> 10:37.680
I love religious podcasts.
There's broadcasters of all
sorts. I, I get a kick out of
it.

10:37.680 --> 10:41.520
And sometimes I actually get a
real positive boost. You know, I
love people who are just

10:41.520 --> 10:47.600
positive and up and got energy.
It works. It really does work.
And we just said again,

10:47.680 --> 10:53.120
everybody, can you give me a
bowing? Hold on. He went, buddy,
for listening. I'm out of here.

10:57.120 --> 11:03.200
Excellent. Speaking of
everybody, being out of here,
big news here in the UK about
the BBC.

11:04.320 --> 11:12.720
3000 people got fired or
displaced before Christmas and
expected another thousand after
Christmas.

11:12.720 --> 11:20.400
As, you know, this is like, the
BBC is public broadcasting and
you pay a license. And actually,

11:20.400 --> 11:31.200
just, this is whack. You go to
tvlicensing.co.uk. And maybe
it's even tvlicensing.com. And
there you

11:31.200 --> 11:36.480
register whether you have a
black and white television,
which costs I think, you know,
65 pounds.

11:36.480 --> 11:40.640
Or if you have at least a color
television, you can have
multiple sets, but you have to
pay for the

11:40.640 --> 11:45.520
first one. And that's like a
hundred and I think a hundred
and twenty-one pounds. And if
you don't,

11:46.240 --> 11:54.000
you can get fined up to a
thousand pounds, which is, well,
these days, almost $2,000, like
$1,900.

11:54.720 --> 12:00.720
If you don't have your license.
And I think maybe the, like, the
mailman checks you or some shit
like

12:00.720 --> 12:06.240
that. And as was in the train on
the way to London, there were
huge posters of tvlicensing.com.

12:06.800 --> 12:11.600
We said, we have a database. And
we know every single home that
doesn't have a TV license.

12:11.600 --> 12:16.960
Just thought we'd let you know.
It's like, fuck that shit. I got
my TV license immediately.

12:18.240 --> 12:21.520
But there's so anyway, so you
pay for it, you know. And then
took the people have a right to
say,

12:21.520 --> 12:29.040
hey, what the fuck? We want, you
know, we want value from money.
And with over 27,000 employees

12:29.040 --> 12:32.800
at the BBC, there was a general
feeling that, hey, you know,
there's a lot of people here who

12:32.880 --> 12:36.720
think they got a job for life.
We got to keep them on their
toes and keep it competitive.

12:36.720 --> 12:42.400
And there's a lot to be said for
that. There certainly is. And
you know, we witnessed how the
BBC

12:42.400 --> 12:47.760
worked, and although extremely
professional, you know, even I
was amazed at the, the amount of
money

12:47.760 --> 12:55.360
that was basically being spent.
And not to attract anything from
the BBC, because I'd love the

12:55.360 --> 13:00.560
programs they made. But there's
a lot of inefficiencies. Even
when they needed me to be on BBC

13:00.560 --> 13:05.280
World, they called me at 9
o'clock 9 a.m. And I said, you
know, can you be here at noon to
be on the

13:05.280 --> 13:10.320
on the BBC World Service? And I
sent a cab from a town 10 miles
away, you know, it's like,

13:10.320 --> 13:13.600
because they had an account with
them, which is totally
ridiculous where they could have
called

13:13.600 --> 13:17.040
a cab. Shit, they could have
re-enversed me, you know.
There's so many different ways
they could have

13:17.040 --> 13:20.800
done that. And the, of course,
the cab didn't wait. They had
another one come from a
different company.

13:20.800 --> 13:29.200
It was a, it was whack. It was
totally whack. Anyway, so this
has been going on. And I think
most

13:29.200 --> 13:34.720
public broadcasts are being paid
out of community funds are under
a lot of pressure these days

13:35.360 --> 13:39.040
for this very same reason. And a
lot of the pressure, of course,
comes from the commercial

13:39.040 --> 13:42.480
broadcasters. What's really
happening is everyone's eating
each other up, you know.

13:43.040 --> 13:48.400
They're all just fucking eating
each other up. And we have, what
I think is great about
podcasting

13:48.400 --> 13:53.840
is, and I was talking to the,
uh, to charity and, uh, another,
um, someone who works for, you
know,

13:53.920 --> 14:00.960
the Anglo-Saxon into a trust
division. It's great, man. Women
bankers, they freak me out. I
love it.

14:00.960 --> 14:08.160
They're so fucking smart. Um, we
were talking about, uh, uh, I
was thinking about women for a
second

14:08.160 --> 14:15.840
then I lost my, my train of
thought. Oh, shit. Oh, I don't
remember. Uh, oh, yeah, about,
uh,

14:15.840 --> 14:23.040
about podcasting. Um, you know,
that we basically don't have to
deal with 24 hours in a day.

14:23.680 --> 14:30.560
You know, we have to deal with
how many minutes the podcast
listener has to consume in a
day,

14:30.560 --> 14:37.040
which is why I'm always
advocating short podcast, right?
Um, so because we can broadcast
5,000

14:37.040 --> 14:41.920
hours a day if we want of a
simultaneous audio programing
because it's completely three

14:41.920 --> 14:47.360
dimensional. You can listen to
it whenever you want, wherever
you want, however you want, um,

14:47.360 --> 14:52.320
and you can be behind a, you
could, you could catch up. You
could list skip bits. You can do
all of that.

14:53.440 --> 14:58.080
So we basically, as podcasts,
there's have to figure out how
to grab people's attention and
keep it,

14:58.080 --> 15:03.920
which probably means they should
move on from this conversation.
But I will say that our next or
next

15:03.920 --> 15:10.320
or next or neighbors down the
way. Um, I think her, she, uh,
she's a school teacher. She
brought her

15:10.320 --> 15:15.360
daughter over to meet Christina,
uh, both the same age. Her
husband works for BBC
interactive.

15:16.800 --> 15:22.720
And, uh, I think they might have
to move to Manchester. It sucks
because the whole interactive

15:22.800 --> 15:27.200
division is being moved. Uh,
they fact thousands of employees
are being moved to Manchester

15:27.200 --> 15:33.600
because, um, the BBC also feels.
And this is a big thing that,
uh, that the, the general, uh,

15:33.600 --> 15:38.640
listening and viewing audience
feels is that it's too London
based. It's too based around

15:38.640 --> 15:42.480
what's going on at London and
not about basically the heart
land. So that's why a lot of
the, uh,

15:43.600 --> 15:47.680
programming staff, including
interactive is going to
Manchester. And I'm sure there's
some financial

15:47.840 --> 15:52.720
reasons for that as well. And
another big piece of news today
is that there also be, um,

15:52.720 --> 15:56.800
and haven't confirmed this. I
heard this from the cab driver
that there were several, uh,

15:56.800 --> 16:03.120
I don't, I think he's a
thousand, uh, job cuts at, uh,
uh, Colgate Palm Olive
headquarters,

16:03.120 --> 16:09.120
ladies and gentlemen of, uh,
Colgate Palm Olive is in Gilford
in the United Kingdom,

16:10.160 --> 16:15.600
which means there's going to be
thousands of people, uh, being
kicked out. Some of them, of
course,

16:15.680 --> 16:22.000
must be some kind of at least
mid-level executives, which
means some ports are likely to
free up

16:22.000 --> 16:31.440
at the Gilford Exchange, making
DSL capable and probable. And
BT, don't call me. Okay. I got

16:31.440 --> 16:36.880
my boys at EZNet on the case.
We're going to use their gear at
the Gilford Exchange. And you
can

16:36.880 --> 16:40.480
go out and solicit more people.
You could have had a real good
customer on your hands.

16:41.280 --> 16:45.440
That's a, uh, that, uh, that,
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
uh, uh, uh,

16:45.440 --> 16:50.960
I haven't actually, listen to
this next, uh, audio comment
that came in. It's from Lee
Wilkins and Jenny Patton,

16:51.840 --> 16:57.040
um, of course we know about them
from the Alphi and Benson fund,
there are two little doggies.
Uh, and they sent a,

16:57.040 --> 17:03.920
thank you MP3, uh, which is
intended for you listening to
the daily source code right now.

17:06.160 --> 17:10.400
Hey, what's up everybody? This
is Lee Wilkins from the Jenny
and Lesha. This is just a

17:10.400 --> 17:15.280
special message for Adam Curry's

Greenwich meantime on Monday we
had raised up near our $1,200. I
just wanted to say a

17:29.520 --> 17:34.000
big thank you to all of the
daily source code listeners and
also all those that

17:34.480 --> 17:42.240
done listen to today's source
code and yet have donated it's
just amazing knowing

17:42.240 --> 17:47.760
and seeing how community like
the blogger's fair and podger's
fair can come together

17:49.040 --> 17:54.640
at a time in need to help bring
back Alfie and Benson. Alfie and
Benson will hopefully be

17:54.640 --> 18:00.240
returning this weekend and will
Alfie and Benson will have their
own number of podcasts

18:00.560 --> 18:06.640
which we will launch and then
we'll also have around blog
which they'll be posting to as

18:06.640 --> 18:11.760
well when they get back and
there's nothing left else for me
to say apart from a big thank
you

18:11.760 --> 18:18.800
to everybody and we would of
course give you a date of
progress at Alfie and Benson.com

18:19.200 --> 18:23.600
but I just yet there's nothing
left to say apart from thank you
Adam to forgive me the

18:23.600 --> 18:31.440
chance to tell our story and
thank you again to everybody and
I do mean everybody you will

18:31.440 --> 18:37.680
begin personally now especially
now from both me Jane and Alfie
and Benson when they return.

18:38.400 --> 18:45.280
Thank you very much. All righty
I say mission accomplished
everybody good job.

18:46.000 --> 18:52.640
Now imagine what we could do if
we really fucking got together
and really pulled our resources

18:52.720 --> 18:59.360
for something really big. It
could happen you know I want to
think about that and I'm sure
there's

18:59.360 --> 19:04.480
lots of people out there who see
the power now I mean we have
just proven once again that you
can

19:05.600 --> 19:13.600
create revenue and cash flow in
in podcasting and man it was
quick and you know it was
realistic

19:13.600 --> 19:19.280
and we set a goal and we and I
feel good about it you know and
we could do the same for like

19:19.360 --> 19:25.200
people dying all over the world.
Oh my god I'm about to break out
into we are the world I should

19:25.200 --> 19:29.760
stop immediately. Thank you very
much Lee and Jenny for sending
in that audio comment.

19:29.760 --> 19:36.240
A comment on the weblog from let
me see this was from Michael
Martelli. Michael says hey Adam

19:36.240 --> 19:40.640
love the show rather new to
podcasting got into him about
three weeks ago while listening
to

19:40.640 --> 19:44.560
and gadgets like that so of
course I had to start listening
to the god father's cast. Uh huh

19:44.560 --> 19:49.840
the pod father you mean. Uh
actually don't list the podcast
on MP3 player actually
downloaded

19:49.840 --> 19:53.440
it to my computer at work.
Listen while I write software.
I'm very excited to be finally

19:53.440 --> 19:57.200
getting an iPod for Christmas so
still probably listen by my
computer. Oddly enough here
comes

19:57.200 --> 20:02.560
I actually work at your old
place of employment good old MTV
networks software developer in
the

20:02.560 --> 20:08.160
time square office 1515 Broadway
and you show really helps that
they go by special on five
o'clock.

20:09.040 --> 20:13.120
Shocked listen to the days cast
you mentioned my hometown of
Wayne New Jersey. I did not know

20:13.200 --> 20:17.840
audible was located there neat
thing to hear. You know there's
all isn't it there's a isn't
there a

20:17.840 --> 20:24.320
great roller rink in Wayne New
Jersey. Maybe that's one town
over from Wayne and I think the

20:24.320 --> 20:30.720
willabric mall is in Wayne New
Jersey and when I think about
1515 Broadway actually was at
1515

20:30.720 --> 20:36.240
was the main office we also at
one point had 1775 Broadway that
actually part of that burned
down

20:36.640 --> 20:43.200
um the some god I should ask
Kenster J he should he'll
probably do that on the next Ken
and

20:43.200 --> 20:49.920
Squip show um and it was like
someone's fucking extension it
was Dave Kendall's god damn
extension

20:49.920 --> 20:55.920
core that burned down a whole
floor of the MTV offices
remember Dave Kendall he did 120
minutes

20:57.120 --> 21:00.800
and we always used to tease him
we said in the day where that
fucking dead cat on his hat
which

21:00.800 --> 21:05.360
was very mean to say of course
some of the hair god should have
actually punished me for that
but

21:05.440 --> 21:10.000
they've been pretty pretty nice
to me so anyway cool to hear
that you're haunted and I
wondered if you

21:10.000 --> 21:15.200
work for MTV if MTV's I guess
it's still the biocomb building
1515 Broadway which of course

21:15.200 --> 21:21.040
we're also their live studios
are all right well thanks for uh
checkin in um and there was also

21:21.040 --> 21:29.040
I don't know if you saw this
this new story um actually it
finally got sent to me uh by
email uh Gary

21:29.120 --> 21:37.440
why is who um we're scary from
he's the IBV Greece transmitting
station the station manager

21:37.440 --> 21:45.120
the hell is in Greece okay uh is
that the same I guess so uh I
Adam enjoy the source code yeah

21:45.120 --> 21:51.360
Boeing blah blah good luck with
your uh with your van with sure
Denver Post reports that the

21:51.360 --> 21:57.840
ours people spend listening to
radio are in steep decline as
younger audiences switch to
iPods

21:57.840 --> 22:03.360
CDs mix at home and subscription
satellite signals newspaper
reports several local stations

22:03.360 --> 22:08.160
are taking steps to address this
by cutting ads per hour jumping
back into internet streaming

22:09.520 --> 22:15.520
no no no no no no an emphasizing
live local shows to restore the
companionship factor

22:15.520 --> 22:22.160
in commercial radio thank you
this is exactly what is going on
with podcasting and of course
the

22:22.160 --> 22:26.480
BBC were you know they're
talking about the value of what
they're doing as well and I
heard

22:26.800 --> 22:33.440
even though it was a pompous ass
today uh who's on radio two or
whatever it was uh and it was

22:33.440 --> 22:39.840
course radio BBC radio London
whatever it was a call-in show
and he was saying radio is also
about

22:39.840 --> 22:45.760
the relationship between the
listener and the person the
presenter on the show and I
think that

22:45.760 --> 22:51.120
the big companies like clear
channel who own most of the
radio stations have kind of
overlooked that

22:51.200 --> 22:56.080
fact that you can't you know
it's an art form it may be the
lowest rung of the show is

22:56.080 --> 23:02.960
ladder to be in radio but that's
okay you know it is an art form
and uh and you can't just

23:02.960 --> 23:07.840
it's like you know disco
eventually was doomed to fail
for the same reason you can't
automate

23:07.840 --> 23:12.640
music you know which is what the
big excitement of disco was it
was hey no more musicians you
know

23:12.640 --> 23:16.880
fuck that shit we don't need
those motherfuckers anymore well
guess what you know it doesn't
work

23:16.880 --> 23:24.640
that way you do need musicians
um so uh and then he also points
to a actually included a

23:24.640 --> 23:35.120
scan of an article from what was
that uh radio world um and he
yeah it's very cool sent me a

23:35.120 --> 23:39.200
PDF which of course I haven't
attached to the production show
notes everything else is an

23:39.200 --> 23:46.000
production show notes um that
talks about podcasting um as it
relates to radio broadcasting
and that's

23:46.080 --> 23:50.560
it's an interesting it's a good
read I'll see if we can get an
online version he couldn't find
one

23:50.560 --> 23:54.720
oh here it is Gary says he's
writing from northern Greece
where he manages a large
short-way radio

23:54.720 --> 24:02.000
station for the for the man for
the government I've moved
internationally many times so I
could relate

24:02.000 --> 24:07.600
to your comments on the
transition from castle to
cottage yeah right on okay oh by
the way it's

24:07.600 --> 24:13.440
has my girlfriend is joining me
here in Greece this weekend
coming from Germany if you have
any tips

24:13.440 --> 24:18.400
I'm making a multicultural
relationship work in this case
the American guy in a German
girl please let

24:18.400 --> 24:27.280
me know hmm well that's an
interesting question I think
about that I don't have I'll
have

24:27.280 --> 24:36.480
never gone out with I mean I
don't even know German women I
don't think the only German
women

24:36.560 --> 24:48.160
I know are the ones that uh that
make my Audi that's the only
German women I know

24:48.160 --> 24:55.120
that are usually named Helga but
somehow I doubt your
girlfriend's name is Helga or
nor does she

24:55.120 --> 25:01.120
look like she should be working
in an Audi factory I don't think
it makes any difference man

25:01.120 --> 25:08.880
whatever you're from it really
doesn't as long as there's love
as long as there's love and

25:10.240 --> 25:17.200
you might want to consider some
you might want to consider some
cowbell

25:19.680 --> 25:25.360
is it hey baby I want you to
come over here and take off your
dress and I'll put my cowbell

25:26.080 --> 25:35.440
okay all right Gary thank you
very much Merry Christmas to you
and uh into your girlfriend

25:36.320 --> 25:41.680
let's see about 25 minutes into
the show so we're gonna be
perfectly on time the way I have

25:41.680 --> 25:48.640
it plan at this point actually I
was gonna talk the day today and
we were emailing back and forth

25:48.640 --> 25:56.400
and yeah and I had half of an
idea maybe we could do a trade
secrets although I'm a little

25:56.400 --> 26:01.600
bit concerned still about his
setup because when he's
recording and there's something
funky with

26:01.600 --> 26:06.400
his new computer and we have to
get this fucking fix because if
it's skipping while he's
recording

26:06.400 --> 26:09.920
that's just not gonna work
because then we can't do the the
dawn and drew double ender trick

26:10.480 --> 26:14.080
because we won't be in sync and
I'll have to now that's gonna be
a fucking nightmare so

26:15.040 --> 26:20.640
and then he sent me a link to
the latest morning coffee notes
which now of course is on
scripting news

26:20.640 --> 26:26.240
and I figured out maybe today
would not be the day a great day
for even just a social chat on
the

26:27.200 --> 26:39.280
hell hello hello um this is a uh
I feel better but my voice
doesn't sound much better

26:40.160 --> 26:47.040
it's really interesting way of
speaking because once they start
getting going you know no when

26:47.040 --> 26:55.760
it's gonna just jump up normally
I have a fairly deep voice but
when it's in this mode

26:56.080 --> 27:02.160
just never know um when it's
gonna jump up about it you know
this reminds me of do you
remember

27:02.160 --> 27:10.080
that episode of the um the
cartridge family when Peter was
going through puberty and he
would sing

27:10.080 --> 27:14.320
and then his voice would crack
and then you know it was like a
real big problem because he had
to

27:14.320 --> 27:20.720
do this solo during a really big
concert and then what they did
is they eventually changed the
song

27:20.720 --> 27:24.800
or they did a special song for
him to sing which was about
changing let's go

27:25.760 --> 27:29.760
hey Dave you're going through
your second puberty it's at 49

27:34.480 --> 27:43.680
anyway I just was reading a
thing that said that Elliot
Spitzer is running for a
governor

27:43.680 --> 27:50.480
of New York State I just thought
I could die with me like that
run for a governor anything

27:51.200 --> 28:03.120
what if he wins people say
governor Spitzer you'll be able
to kids love a great time

28:04.080 --> 28:24.480
or sorry I have a fine mood
that's right oh man that's
frightening when Dave talks you
know what

28:25.040 --> 28:31.520
we should bug him home on a
second he's been posting eyes
aware blog he wants someone to
call him

28:32.480 --> 28:38.720
he has like one of these 206
free numbers let's see if you
can do this I think what would
be

28:38.720 --> 28:44.800
kind of let's give it a try I'm
gonna try to do it on Skype with
Skype out even though I'm on

28:44.800 --> 28:49.680
the dial-up modem here at the at
the cottage I bet you I could
get it done so while that's
loading

28:49.680 --> 28:57.520
I have some great news for you
um my mom called today and she
has a date for operation um and
this

28:58.000 --> 29:02.720
so the operation where they go
in and remove either half a lung
or a whole lung and I just said

29:02.720 --> 29:08.800
this off the cuff like she's
going in for a fucking tune up
but it's going to be on the 22nd

29:09.440 --> 29:15.120
that's when she should be
admitted 23rd is when the actual
operation takes place and we're

29:15.120 --> 29:18.800
really excited about it and it's
great for her you know she now
she has a date she can work

29:18.800 --> 29:24.320
towards it she knows when it's
gonna happen and everything is
really you know right on track

29:24.320 --> 29:31.040
and looking great so we just
could not be could not be
happier about it all okay hold
on I've got

29:31.040 --> 29:39.200
my Skype here I hope this works
hold on so I'll be going over I
guess yeah I may spend

29:40.720 --> 29:47.840
yeah I may spend a good part of
the holiday perhaps even
Christmas in Holland so we'll
have to

29:47.840 --> 29:52.400
see okay I'm gonna try this
Skype out now let's see if this
works see if we can call Dave's
voice

29:52.960 --> 30:01.520
a 206 338 3143 so now there you
go Skype just crashed fuck piece
of shit

30:03.440 --> 30:09.280
fuck the application Skype is
unexpectedly quit because it's a
piece of shit on the Mac

30:10.160 --> 30:14.480
okay you know what we'll do I'll
just call this boy

30:15.440 --> 30:22.400
hold on I'll just call him on
