08:33.000 --> 08:34.000 Or was it up your alley? 08:34.000 --> 08:35.000 That's right. 08:35.000 --> 08:37.000 Which wasn't an huge success, 08:37.000 --> 08:41.800 thing. Well, that's relative, right? I have a platinum album on the wall for a million 08:41.800 --> 08:49.480 sold. I guess it was pretty good. But so Steve said that you know everything's going great 08:49.480 --> 08:53.880 with him and it was fun to talk to Steve because as we found out he is actually doing some 08:53.880 --> 08:59.800 consulting now for a serious satellite radio and so of course I got to dig in and ask him 08:59.800 --> 09:03.240 some questions. Some of which I can't talk about because I promised I wouldn't because you know 09:03.240 --> 09:08.120 hey he has some kind of confidentiality confidentiality going on there. But I can't tell you 09:08.120 --> 09:13.560 have you talked to Stern because he certainly went back in the day when I was at MTV he would 09:13.560 --> 09:18.440 talk to Howard Stern a frequently. He says yeah I want him two times but he mainly talks with Gary 09:18.440 --> 09:25.720 Delabate. Better known as it. Baba Bowie. And I said oh man we need to get Stern in on this podcast 09:25.720 --> 09:29.880 and he said now he'll never do it because he just won't give it away for free. I think the words 09:29.960 --> 09:35.080 were he's a commercial fucker. I can't blame him I guess. But something interesting Steve 09:35.080 --> 09:39.720 did tell me because we were talking about well first I said hey dude did you put that deal together 09:39.720 --> 09:47.800 with Nina Blackwood Allen Hunter and Mark Goodman on like the 70s and 80s. Now the 80s channel 09:47.800 --> 09:52.440 on serious and he said no actually that that deal had already been put to bed before he got there 09:53.000 --> 09:59.400 but I said yeah so what are their channels or are expected he says well no channels because 09:59.400 --> 10:07.160 basically we're out of bandwidth. I was like whoa that's interesting. In fact it's gotten so here's 10:07.160 --> 10:13.000 how it works the government has apparently allocated by the FCC then has allocated x amount of 10:13.000 --> 10:18.120 spectrum there's that word which means you know frequencies in the air that you can't see touch 10:18.200 --> 10:25.080 taste or feel or hear for that reason not without a receiver and they yeah that's like bandwidth 10:25.080 --> 10:29.640 it's like you know so you have x number of megabits per second to use in fact I think it is 10:29.640 --> 10:37.640 measured in megabits per second satellite bandwidth. Excuse me and they filled it up so they 10:37.640 --> 10:42.120 had really they don't have any more channels left in fact to make more room the all talk channels 10:42.120 --> 10:48.600 are now being broadcast in mono so even though it's really cool and they have quite a future ahead 10:48.600 --> 10:54.200 of them it's interesting because they can't really add more channels whereas in podcasting hey 10:55.480 --> 11:01.080 we don't need those stinking trans meters. So that's good to talk this Steve and look forward to 11:01.080 --> 11:06.040 hooking up with him in New York hopefully I'll see him because I'm trying to get to New York around 11:06.040 --> 11:14.680 the 16th or at least for the for the Bitties cast launch on the 16th in in Wave I Yorker and 11:14.680 --> 11:19.400 oh yeah one other thing Steve said he was doing or he had he had done some some work at Virgin 11:19.400 --> 11:23.080 Records and of course then then you say oh so what talent were you working with he said oh 11:23.080 --> 11:28.840 Courtney love I said oh dude that's a podcast he said you bitch yeah so he's gonna tell us all about 11:28.840 --> 11:33.720 the nightmares he had with Courtney love if I get a hold of him in New York in the next couple of 11:34.600 --> 11:39.320 played the blue man group a couple days for you with that awesome version of I feel love 11:40.200 --> 11:44.600 got an email about that from Sebastian Adam greetings for Germany let me tell you about the podcast 11:44.600 --> 11:51.160 but wow what do you say here um okay it was on the 31st right you played a track from the blue man group 11:51.160 --> 11:55.400 with vocals from Venus hum that track is actually from the complex rock tour live 11:56.120 --> 12:02.840 it's a DVD he provides a URL so you can get that link from the show notes for today an awesome DVD 12:02.920 --> 12:07.320 music on it is awesome it's not the normal show or the program that you see in Las Vegas but 12:07.320 --> 12:14.760 it's a special rock tour which the blue man group did and it apparently well the theater program kicks 12:14.760 --> 12:19.400 ass but he says that the DVD is something you have to see the the rock show was perhaps even a 12:19.400 --> 12:25.240 little bit better so I guess we still need to go to Vegas and check that out because man that has that 12:25.240 --> 12:41.320 track kick but that's where I belong hold on let me hear that okay okay 12:41.400 --> 12:47.160 tape for all that and only all high where we go all the world why well oh dude start over making 12:47.160 --> 12:59.160 sure the net never gets predictable it's a modify it was a sound you tried out the new 12:59.160 --> 13:05.800 MSN search pretty interesting something really irritating that I found about the MSN search is 13:05.880 --> 13:12.040 when you when you live in a like in any country it basically searches under your country first 13:14.600 --> 13:20.840 which because Dave Warner said that he was the number one Dave on on the new search and had the 13:20.840 --> 13:25.800 number one RSS result and I and I clicked on the links that he provided and I got whole different 13:25.800 --> 13:31.720 results like whoa but then I noticed that no matter what I did I tried forcing the dot com you know 13:31.720 --> 13:37.000 as search dot MSN dot com and it kept going to dot code dot UK and yeah you can change it to 13:37.000 --> 13:41.400 the location to be the United States but I really want to be able to search the whole internet or 13:41.400 --> 13:51.320 all the internet as our president would say and I finally got a tip from Simon Simon's bait 13:51.320 --> 13:59.240 spiked something like that Simon who gave me the URL which you need to use it's well it's in the 13:59.240 --> 14:06.120 show notes search dot MSN dot com then it's like slash question mark no reader it equals one 14:07.320 --> 14:11.720 you just have to copy that from the show notes but essentially what it does is it lets you search 14:11.720 --> 14:16.840 the whole internet at the same time it sets your cookie so the next time you go to search dot 14:16.840 --> 14:21.800 MSN dot com it won't just redirect you to your own country version so that's something that I 14:21.800 --> 14:26.360 consider a bug really I mean why what I only I like the idea that you can say search locally 14:26.360 --> 14:32.440 because that is a button on the MSN search page but the default search should be the entire 14:32.440 --> 14:36.120 internet I mean there's there's absolutely no reason why I should whether default should go to the 14:36.120 --> 14:44.680 country that you're in so that's a solid guess hey I'm just a quick dot here I know 14:44.680 --> 14:52.040 one of your shows you were talking about having mp3 devices kind of like Linux on the iPod 14:52.600 --> 14:57.240 just have it display your show notes and one of the things I just wanted to make a comment what some 14:57.240 --> 15:05.640 newer mp3 players out of the box automatically support the displaying of song lyrics and those are 15:05.640 --> 15:12.680 just notes encoded with a timestamp and well it's not exactly the kind of thing you're looking for 15:12.680 --> 15:18.520 it might be a good first step to putting show notes that synchronize with the mp3 playback at a certain 15:18.520 --> 15:25.720 time you can have the show notes appear on the display of the mp3 device and I'll include a copy 15:25.720 --> 15:31.160 of that so you can see what the format of that is like but it's just an interesting side development 15:31.960 --> 15:36.600 just something I noticed some of the new portable mp3 players that are coming out in the market 15:37.240 --> 15:41.400 take care love the show yeah dude thank you very much I think this is actually really exciting I 15:42.040 --> 15:45.400 for the past couple of weeks I don't know if anyone noticed that at all but if you look at the 15:45.400 --> 15:51.320 daily source code file if you look at the ID3 tags I have been pasting the show notes into the 15:51.320 --> 15:57.000 lyrics field so of course that's not doing anything because apparently there's some special type 15:57.000 --> 16:02.520 of encoding that you need to use for the lyrics file but if I understand this correctly then there are 16:03.960 --> 16:10.120 some mp3 players that understand this particular file format and I don't know if it has to be 16:10.600 --> 16:16.120 encoded in the ID3 tags or if it's a separate file that needs to be picked up but apparently there's 16:16.120 --> 16:22.360 some kind of synchronizing that you can do so that if you say okay I want this particular lyric 16:22.360 --> 16:28.200 to show up at this particular time code that it will show up in the display of the mp3 player so 16:28.200 --> 16:34.760 this could be really interesting the email that that he sent me was so long I didn't post that 16:34.760 --> 16:38.840 into the show notes I'm looking for links looking looking for pointers looking for people who are 16:38.920 --> 16:43.560 experimenting with this because it's could be extremely cool and the question of course is does 16:43.560 --> 16:48.280 this work with the iPod does it work with the iRiver I mean I know nothing about this this is 16:48.280 --> 16:53.960 pretty new to me so let's work on this and see if we can figure out what what these lyrics are 16:53.960 --> 17:01.080 if we can use lyrics or use show notes in lieu of lyrics in our podcast very cool appreciate the 17:01.080 --> 17:09.880 feedback promise that update you on my progress with windows as I of course installed that for 17:09.880 --> 17:16.760 Christina downstairs so yesterday and by the way I love the fact that that I've installed windows 17:16.760 --> 17:21.320 for her because I'm pretty much the and I'm sure most people know this is like you know if if you 17:21.320 --> 17:26.120 know anything about computers and the increments then you pretty much become the default go to 17:26.120 --> 17:31.320 guy for your friends and family and whenever the computer's not working you know which can range from 17:31.320 --> 17:38.600 it's not plugged into something very complex you get the call right and sometimes it's sometimes 17:38.600 --> 17:46.200 it's like trying to help the flight attendant land the 747 from the control tower especially if 17:46.200 --> 17:51.560 you're helping people troubleshoot over the phone and I told Christina I said look the support I 17:51.560 --> 17:57.160 give you on fixing your computer issues is going to be less because I don't know very much about 17:57.160 --> 18:03.000 windows and quite honestly a lot of windows shit is mystery to me so she had a problem she has a 18:03.000 --> 18:08.520 vanilla site the land of the young and the hopeless dot com which is her good Charlotte 18:08.520 --> 18:17.240 vanilla site and vanilla site of course is it's a great weblog tool only it does want to see 18:17.320 --> 18:22.680 the refer coming from your browser and I've seen this error before and I thought it was usually 18:22.680 --> 18:29.400 something that had to be fixed inside vanilla itself when it says who couldn't find a refer or 18:29.400 --> 18:34.280 couldn't match the refer whatever it is so we can't post or we can't edit this particular page 18:34.280 --> 18:39.240 that you requested so I'm like oh man it's of course she comes to me and she says oh it's not working 18:39.240 --> 18:43.800 can't update and so the first thing I say is well it's windows so you know there you go I don't know 18:43.800 --> 18:48.200 if I can help you but it's pretty proud of myself because I figured it out first I copied and pasted 18:48.200 --> 18:53.560 the actual error message into Google I should try pasting it into MSN search actually see what comes 18:53.560 --> 19:00.680 up there and of course it turns out or one of the one of the results that I got was from a 19:00.680 --> 19:05.480 usual and hosted site that says well basically your browser is not passing off the refer information 19:06.040 --> 19:11.320 and it had a link down there to something called norton internet security which I had seen 19:11.400 --> 19:18.440 automatically installed when I when I installed the whole computer for her and indeed there is a 19:18.440 --> 19:22.920 security setting it's very down pretty deep it was very confusing to find but there's a browser 19:22.920 --> 19:27.480 security setting which doesn't really tell you what it does or doesn't send but apparently it's 19:27.480 --> 19:33.240 not going to be sending the refer so I unselected that and lo and behold it started working so 19:33.960 --> 19:38.040 well very cool I got to tell you man windows it's still a deep fucking hole 19:38.920 --> 19:42.600 I had on my name's christian stout and I just want to leave you a comment on your 19:42.600 --> 19:48.440 two most recent podcasts good to hear that you moved over to the windows world it's nice to 19:48.440 --> 19:57.640 see a hardcore Mac fan enjoy the the the thrills of windows of course yes indeed christian thrilling 19:57.640 --> 20:03.320 it is we all know that the Mac was built on better architecture really we want to tell people 20:03.320 --> 20:09.240 that will be about the hard drive you might want to actually go into system tools oh this is a 20:09.240 --> 20:14.200 me talking about the the windows hard drive making such a freaking ride to start programs accessories 20:14.200 --> 20:18.760 and bring up the disc defragment her and run that it might quiet it down a little bit 20:19.560 --> 20:25.080 also I'd go to windows update dot microsoft dot com yeah i did that do the update if you haven't 20:25.080 --> 20:29.880 now it it it it came through automatically you know get these pop up saying you have to download 20:29.880 --> 20:34.920 18 megabytes of stuff to update so make sure you turn on your automatic update yeah it's a 20:34.920 --> 20:40.120 you know I didn't hear about the section of your podcast where it was skipping but I do I did catch 20:40.120 --> 20:44.920 the comment about from the person about running off the dual hard drives okay just to make clear 20:44.920 --> 20:51.560 now this is going back to the Mac where I was having problems playing back huge AIFF files 20:51.560 --> 20:57.880 and recording a new one at the same time on the same disc suggestion came in to record the podcast 20:57.960 --> 21:04.120 on an external drive for instance fire wire and use everything else off of the internal drive 21:04.120 --> 21:09.240 that could work um you probably don't have to if you've got a powerful enough system but you need 21:09.240 --> 21:14.520 to consider how hard drives work and that when you're reading a file it's in one location when 21:14.520 --> 21:20.120 you're writing it it's in another location even though drive spin fast and access time is pretty fast 21:20.120 --> 21:24.680 nowadays you're still having to look at how big your files were and you're probably moving 21:24.680 --> 21:28.840 working that little hard drive you know head really hard bouncing all over the places it's trying 21:28.840 --> 21:35.080 to do two things it wants right you probably you could maybe fix some things by increasing your ram 21:35.080 --> 21:40.920 I'm not sure what your broadcasting off of but it would not hurt to double that if it's only 21:40.920 --> 21:46.760 like a gaker so that would definitely give you more available ram to pull in files as well as store 21:47.160 --> 21:54.280 your files before you even write them. Additionally you could probably go into the program you're 21:54.360 --> 21:59.800 using and bump up the ram that it uses so I'll try that or you could just I don't think 21:59.800 --> 22:05.160 that actually works can you do that on OS OS X now on OS 10 sorry is that possible keep the files 22:05.160 --> 22:09.640 smaller and not try to read and by the way I like saying OS X lots of people send me comments and 22:09.640 --> 22:16.840 say it's OS 10 not OS X OS 9 was the operating system before but it's OS X it's easier it's nicer 22:16.920 --> 22:24.360 sexier OS X and a 600 meg file lastly in the mind the magazines I was reading I get a bunch 22:24.360 --> 22:30.760 every week you know information overload sucks anyways it's called TV technology this is the February 22:30.760 --> 22:37.560 second issue in 2005 and on page 28 of Frank Beach and talks about podcasting and you know you're 22:37.560 --> 22:42.040 in the news everywhere and I didn't know if you knew about this one but there might be some of your 22:42.040 --> 22:46.680 listeners that read this magazine and if they don't they might want to pick it up it talks about 22:46.680 --> 22:53.320 everything we've called heard about as well as the video feature possible of this and who knows 22:53.320 --> 22:59.400 where else casting might go anyway I enjoy your podcast and just want to let you know now that you are 22:59.400 --> 23:04.040 in the windows world I definitely asked that you give my podcast to listen it's something I added to 23:04.040 --> 23:09.880 a website I've been running for a little bit that deals with the home network hopefully one day soon 23:10.200 --> 23:14.280 I'll get my Mac many and I'll be able to start supporting Macs but it talks about everything 23:15.160 --> 23:19.240 that's going to deal with your home network and environment and how to keep yourself secure 23:19.240 --> 23:24.280 manage it etc it's called home network help dot info all right and I would really like you to 23:24.280 --> 23:28.600 give it a listen and give me some of your great feedback I will do thank you very much Chris and 23:28.600 --> 23:33.880 appreciate the technical info there I understood just about every single bit of it a little bit 23:33.880 --> 23:39.240 of confusion there because I'm still recording the podcast on the on the Mac side but I'm 23:39.240 --> 23:44.200 exploring windows exploring when you hear me talk about buying a windows laptop that's when you 23:44.200 --> 23:55.880 really got to get worried oh yes hello Adam Curry hello and the listeners of the daily source 23:55.880 --> 24:02.440 code hello this is Michael Randall here from Cambridge podcast Cambridge podcast dot log spot dot 24:02.440 --> 24:07.960 com you know it was only last week I was sitting in the drawing room and wondering is there a 24:07.960 --> 24:13.800 way to help music in this university town this historic little aisle of ours and I think there is 24:14.360 --> 24:19.320 I think there is now with the Cambridge podcast our aim is to play the best and independent music 24:19.320 --> 24:24.360 that hasn't been heard before that hasn't been given a chance to be played and I think we've done 24:25.000 --> 24:31.560 and if you want to support us why not come on down hey haha yes I thought say at Cambridge podcast 24:31.560 --> 24:35.880 dot log spot dot com but not always this is eccentric most of the time we just play some 24:35.880 --> 24:40.440 darn good tunes and I hope you enjoy the show and at Cambridge podcast I don't miss a little 24:40.440 --> 24:45.640 shoot thank you very much so this is the podcast that is doing a podcast about local bands 24:45.640 --> 24:51.560 local to the school in this case Cambridge University and in their show notes they provide not only 24:51.640 --> 24:56.840 links to the songs but also where the bands are performing in the neighborhood so it's a very 24:58.040 --> 25:03.960 geographic community based type of podcast and send me a couple samples this is one of my 25:03.960 --> 25:11.400 liked bad well ash it's take as heard on the Cambridge podcast and today on the daily source code 25:13.750 --> 27:41.250 [ Music ] 27:48.680 --> 27:58.360 Cambridge podcast let me see oh yeah he's what I want to talk about audio hijack pro if you're 27:58.360 --> 28:02.520 a Mac user and you're in the podcast that you've probably noticed me talking about this before 28:02.520 --> 28:08.200 this is the program that I actually use to record my podcast and I think we've talked about 28:08.200 --> 28:15.320 the setup a couple times before what the way I'm using audio hijack pro by the way is not exactly 28:15.400 --> 28:22.120 the way the makers of the program intended it and I've been you know trying to get some attention 28:22.120 --> 28:26.920 for a long time actually had an email conversation a couple months ago with one of the guys 28:26.920 --> 28:31.640 from audio hijack pro it's only four guys I think and I saw blog post yesterday which I pointed 28:31.640 --> 28:37.560 to from curry dot com where Quentin one of the founders says hey you know what do we need to do 28:37.560 --> 28:44.920 to make this software better for podcasts and just looking at you know what they really intend 28:44.920 --> 28:49.320 they're software to do I can kind of understand what the confusion is coming from because what 28:49.320 --> 28:56.920 their marketing audio hijack pro mainly for is that you can record audio from any application which is 28:56.920 --> 29:03.400 of course where the name comes from audio hijack pro and you can also set them up on timers 29:03.400 --> 29:11.480 so you could basically say please start up my real player and fire up a URL which could be an 29:11.480 --> 29:18.920 NPR program if you will and record that either you know this day or every every time weekdays 29:18.920 --> 29:23.240 and you can set all these recording schedules up is pretty sophisticated and of course that is very 29:23.240 --> 29:29.320 much like an iPodder only it's a functionality of an iPodder but not really doing it the same way 29:30.200 --> 29:39.080 nor is it actually grabbing MP3 files oh not just got a Skype request from Michael Butler of course 29:39.560 --> 29:48.040 approve you dude you crazy there you go you know so but that would be like kind of like an iPodder 29:48.040 --> 29:54.520 for existing existing radio streams or if there's some other application you wanted to hijack the 29:54.520 --> 30:01.800 audio from at a set time the way I've been using it is is almost backwards what I've been doing is 30:01.800 --> 30:09.000 I've been hijacking my audio input and running that through all their great filters and plug-in 30:09.000 --> 30:15.480 et cetera and adding to that just basic you know sound out from from my Mac there's a couple of 30:15.480 --> 30:22.200 reasons and it's it's actually two technical to go into in a verbal explanation I think a couple 30:22.200 --> 30:27.400 of reasons why it's not really easy to use and a couple why it is very easy to use but I man I'm 30:27.400 --> 30:32.280 really looking forward to a dialogue with these guys and I don't know maybe we have to just draw 30:32.280 --> 30:37.480 diagrams and stuff to explain what we need but essentially they've got all the bits in there you know 30:37.480 --> 30:43.960 what records that does your ID three tags you can plug in audio the only thing that's a problem 30:43.960 --> 30:50.120 is well actually I'm using it backwards let me let me try and explain so typically let's say you play 30:50.120 --> 30:54.280 everything like your sweepers and your jingles and if you play any other audio except a microphone 30:55.160 --> 31:00.120 then you let's say I use quick time to play that so you would hijack quick time right and then 31:00.120 --> 31:08.360 this is voiceover plug-in which actually lets you add and add in a microphone that's why it's 31:08.360 --> 31:13.400 called voiceover and it can even do what they call auto ducking so if you start to talk it'll 31:13.400 --> 31:17.480 bring down the music automatically if you stop talking to bring it up again automatically 31:17.480 --> 31:22.600 I've tried this several times and it really works very well except it doesn't work 31:23.320 --> 31:28.680 and the program will not hijack audio if there's not an actual audio stream coming out of 31:28.680 --> 31:37.400 the application you've hijacked so let me try and explain so if I'm hijacking quick time it will 31:38.280 --> 31:44.040 it will only actually record if there's audio coming out of quick time I've tried this before and the 31:44.040 --> 31:49.960 solution that came up with was to have like a really long track running on a loop that had just a 31:49.960 --> 31:55.560 little bit of noise barely audible but just enough to kick audio hijack pro into record mode 31:56.520 --> 32:04.520 so actually that work pretty well but you know if actually every single time the loop would restart 32:04.520 --> 32:10.520 then the recording would just stop for like a miller second and it would throw off the latency 32:10.520 --> 32:18.040 and it'd become really complicated oh it's actually a phone call I gotta take tell you what 32:18.040 --> 32:25.560 hold on a sec how much do you hate that huh sorry that was the bank I just got yeah you 32:25.560 --> 32:29.080 don't want to hear my conversation well you do want to hear my kind of conversation with the bank 32:29.080 --> 32:34.680 probably but you're not gunna okay that's just the way it is uh let's see we're back at audio hijack 32:34.680 --> 32:39.560 pro I don't know where the where the hell I was I guess I kind of explained it but anyway 32:41.400 --> 32:45.400 I think there's a big disconnect between what the podcasters are looking for at least the 32:45.400 --> 32:51.480 ones that are using a Macintosh and what audio hijack pro is doing because they are almost an 32:51.480 --> 32:56.520 iPod or client as I explained where really we want to use their stuff as a production console so 32:57.880 --> 33:01.800 I'm going to keep working on that and it's just a we need a better way to describe it and I don't know 33:01.800 --> 33:07.880 if I can do that in in written words and maybe someone can help out let's see if we can get together 33:07.880 --> 33:13.400 with these guys quite and certainly seems to to be interested in getting stuff going and I love 33:13.480 --> 33:17.800 this company I love their products so let's see if we can work something out just a quick thing I 33:17.800 --> 33:26.520 want to mention I noticed this the other day I'm a I'm a horrible typist and I wonder I know 33:26.520 --> 33:34.440 in the states usually typing lessons are a part of grade school I don't know if it's extra 33:34.520 --> 33:46.120 curricular activity or and what have you but I never had typing lessons I'd just kind of taught 33:46.120 --> 33:52.600 myself then I type with I don't know one just maybe five fingers four and a half fingers something 33:52.600 --> 33:59.640 like that but I have to look at the keyboard so I'm I guess I'm not I can't blind type and I was 33:59.640 --> 34:05.000 wondering if anyone else you know has this and if there's a way to transition off of looking 34:05.000 --> 34:09.400 I mean I can do it if I type I pretty much know where all the keys are and I do pretty well I still 34:09.400 --> 34:16.520 have to glance down but you know I am just not a blind typist and if you have any is there of course 34:16.520 --> 34:22.760 that you know that can unlearn all these horrible you know typing methods that I have which of course 34:22.760 --> 34:29.320 are you know the shit it's no good let's see if if we can if we can improve that and let me 34:29.320 --> 34:33.560 know what kind of type you are you like a hunt and you know peck and peck and hit type of person 34:33.560 --> 34:38.200 or are you a complete blind typist you know I don't necessarily want to go through some computer 34:38.200 --> 34:42.760 program that's going to take me back to square one is there a shortcut to get from pecking 34:42.760 --> 34:48.200 at the keyboard but using you know really being able to to go pretty quickly it's just that I 34:48.200 --> 34:52.200 can't look at the screen at the same time anyway you get the idea so let me know what you find 34:52.200 --> 34:57.400 out okay 34:57.400 --> 35:01.800 huh I'm y'all pull it here with yet another hit test it's good time so I could not reach 35:01.800 --> 35:06.440 just making another one for you know it works your tracks lined up for you and here is number one 35:06.440 --> 35:11.160 there we go oh human league don't you want me easy one 35:15.800 --> 35:19.160 don't tell me gonna make it too easy for me now you got to be a challenge buddy 35:22.200 --> 35:31.000 yeah and this is number two 35:31.000 --> 35:33.480 the tears for fears everybody wants to rule the world 35:33.480 --> 35:39.000 ah come on I love the processing on this by the way it sounds so hard 35:41.560 --> 35:43.640 well done to your 35:44.600 --> 35:51.080 all right number three number three 35:55.080 -->

some of them right 36:19.400 --> 36:21.240 okay and just this was number one 36:21.240 --> 36:24.040 okay don't you want me yeah human league 36:24.040 --> 36:27.880 we got one right 36:28.840 --> 36:43.880 and this was number two 36:43.880 --> 36:47.400 tears for fears everybody wants to rule the world 36:47.400 --> 36:51.560 by the way another favorite of tears for fears is shout 36:51.560 --> 36:54.200 that's the song you got to play in the car when you're sleeping 36:54.280 --> 36:57.960 shout shout let it all out 36:57.960 --> 37:00.040 and number three 37:00.040 --> 37:04.040 and

a young boy with this week's hit test again three 38:42.280 --> 38:44.680 tracks next to the first one 38:45.960 --> 38:50.840 oh I guess no that we did do that one that was Tom Jones right okay we did do that one 38:50.920 --> 38:54.120 all right anyway young love them love them to death man keep 38:54.120 --> 38:58.040 them coming for sure last night I was watching uh celebrity 38:58.040 --> 39:02.520 fit club here in the UK which is a weight loss reality show 39:02.520 --> 39:07.560 it's really quite good actually um uh it's just one of those shows that's kind of 39:07.560 --> 39:12.360 addictive to watch and you know they go through uh exercise and eating but 39:12.360 --> 39:16.680 also um there's some psychological aspects to it and there's some 39:16.680 --> 39:20.360 regression uh hypnotic therapy whatever and I was 39:20.360 --> 39:23.000 watching it last night and I said the Patricia said you know what's coming next 39:23.000 --> 39:28.200 what is unavoidable uh it's going to be the celebrity stop smoking show 39:28.200 --> 39:31.640 and I think it actually would be a very good reality based show I mean we say 39:31.640 --> 39:34.920 reality but of course television has no right anymore to the use of word 39:34.920 --> 39:39.080 reality um but I think it would be cool imagine having you know a couple of 39:39.080 --> 39:43.400 celebs and you follow them around and you know of course you want to try and 39:43.400 --> 39:47.080 catch them sneak into smoke and you got to have all kinds of test built in you know 39:47.080 --> 39:50.520 where I also get a pop quiz and we have to smell your breath and 39:50.520 --> 39:53.240 I don't know if there's other ways to check if someone's been smoking you know 39:53.240 --> 39:56.680 nicotine check basically but that could be really cool just to watch how people 39:56.680 --> 40:01.240 go fucking crazy when they can't smoke so it's a free idea go ahead use it 40:01.240 --> 40:05.080 abuse it it's about to happen and besides uh it probably being something 40:05.080 --> 40:09.640 a lot of people would watch um uh you could probably get it subsidized by the 40:09.640 --> 40:14.600 government uh just a thought finally for today's source code is we're just a little bit 40:14.680 --> 40:19.640 over a 40 40 minute mark I'm gonna play one more song for you um I was introduced to 40:21.800 --> 40:27.960 a group called Clare Fader and the Vaude villains by uh Leon from the from the 40:27.960 --> 40:33.160 the city's bitties um and I've been listening to a couple of their tunes of course the site 40:33.160 --> 40:38.840 is listed in the uh in the show notes for today's podcast uh but hadn't really done anything 40:38.840 --> 40:42.120 with a yet cause I was still kind of you know trying to figure out which track I want to play 40:42.120 --> 40:48.680 and and uh it's a very uh interesting type of music and then yesterday I got an email 40:48.680 --> 40:54.280 from Mary Kay Elkins uh I'm gonna read a little bit of this because it it really caught my eye and you 40:54.280 --> 40:58.840 know and this and this really worked uh hi out of my girlfriend Leon Westover turned me on 40:58.840 --> 41:03.400
