02:10.000 --> 02:12.000 Three years. 02:12.000 --> 02:14.000 He, um, basically keeps all my shit running. 02:14.000 --> 02:17.000 That's what we've been doing for the past couple. 02:17.000 --> 02:18.000 How do we meet?

03:14.000 --> 03:15.000 So that, that was, that was easy. 03:15.000 --> 03:19.000 But, uh, I actually, without going into too much detail, 03:19.000 --> 03:24.000 but I thought Marcus was ten years younger. 03:24.000 --> 03:25.000 Doesn't matter how old he is. 03:25.000 --> 03:26.000 I won't give that away. 03:26.000 --> 03:29.000 But ten years younger just because of his voice. 03:29.000 --> 03:31.000 Um, and I thought he probably had really long hair. 03:31.000 --> 03:36.000 I was kind of like a musician type, type rock and roll guy. 03:36.000 --> 03:38.000 Long hair all one color. 03:38.000 --> 03:39.000 Yeah. 03:39.000 --> 03:40.000 Yeah. 03:40.000 --> 03:41.000 Yeah. 03:41.000 --> 03:43.000 Dude, I've got the gray here too, don't worry about it. 03:44.000 --> 03:46.000 So, uh, we've been hanging out, uh, 03:46.000 --> 03:49.000 actually speaking out, uh, for most of, uh, 03:49.000 --> 03:52.000 uh, most of the evening, uh, in the hotel room. 03:52.000 --> 03:53.000 Uh, we got the power books. 03:53.000 --> 03:55.000 I had this, I got like a, 03:55.000 --> 03:56.000 it shouldn't be happening. 03:56.000 --> 03:58.000 I've got, uh, I don't know if you can hear that. 03:58.000 --> 04:00.000 I've kind of interference on the wireless mics. 04:00.000 --> 04:02.000 I wonder what's doing that. 04:02.000 --> 04:04.000 Maybe some kind of, 04:04.000 --> 04:07.000 ease dropping device in the room that is doing that. 04:07.000 --> 04:10.000 So meetings in the valley. 04:10.000 --> 04:11.000 My goodness. 04:12.000 --> 04:16.000 For all the, all the noise, everything that's going on in, uh, 04:16.000 --> 04:18.000 in the world of podcasting, 04:18.000 --> 04:23.000 I gotta tell you that San Francisco, California, 04:23.000 --> 04:25.000 and well, particularly the valley, uh, 04:25.000 --> 04:27.000 so that's like, uh, what's the valley? 04:27.000 --> 04:28.000 Mountain view, sunny veil, 04:28.000 --> 04:31.000 all those places that you may have heard of before. 04:31.000 --> 04:34.000 They are fucking clueless. 04:34.000 --> 04:36.000 I was so amazed. 04:36.000 --> 04:40.000 It seems like when it comes to anything 04:40.000 --> 04:43.000 or anything, MP3 players or anything, 04:43.000 --> 04:46.000 iPod, everybody here is still trying to figure out 04:46.000 --> 04:48.000 how to capture the music business. 04:48.000 --> 04:50.000 And it's just, it's amazing. 04:50.000 --> 04:52.000 And we do meetings with people, and yeah, 04:52.000 --> 04:54.000 you know, they're really excited about podcasting. 04:54.000 --> 04:56.000 But, you know, halfway into the meeting, 04:56.000 --> 04:57.000 it's like, you find out that they, 04:57.000 --> 05:00.000 they never really even listen to a podcast. 05:00.000 --> 05:02.000 It's just, uh, it's like you're there in this big, 05:02.000 --> 05:04.000 sinkhole of God knows. 05:04.000 --> 05:06.000 And this is, of course, it's not true for everybody. 05:06.000 --> 05:08.000 That would be completely unfair. 05:08.000 --> 05:10.000 But when it comes to all the companies here that you'd expect, 05:10.000 --> 05:12.000 uh, to know what is going on, 05:12.000 --> 05:14.000 have a real good feel for it. 05:14.000 --> 05:15.000 Wow, I was pretty amazed. 05:15.000 --> 05:17.000 Not that everyone we met with had no clue, 05:17.000 --> 05:19.000 but woo, it was, um, 05:19.000 --> 05:21.000 um, interesting to say the least. 05:21.000 --> 05:23.000 So we talked a little bit about that, 05:23.000 --> 05:24.000 a little bit about, uh, 05:24.000 --> 05:27.000 also new, uh, applications, uh, 05:27.000 --> 05:28.000 I've been playing around with. 05:28.000 --> 05:30.000 And of course, we've got a matchup. 05:30.000 --> 05:33.000 This one's, uh, music shape by the dog. 05:33.750 --> 07:53.750 [ Music ] 07:57.000 --> 08:04.360 It's another matchup that I received from Pimpedaddy Sid, the Pimpedaddy from Holland, but 08:04.360 --> 08:11.000 like that one, Madonna music shaped me in, I was turning like Marcus here, this, but for those 08:11.000 --> 08:14.600 of you who record your podcast on a Mac and if you use Audio High Jack Pro, you've probably 08:14.600 --> 08:19.960 discovered that if you unplug the headphones, then Audio High Jack Pro kind of freaks out 08:19.960 --> 08:24.120 on you, and we'll usually crash and we're talking about external mixers. I've been in the market 08:24.200 --> 08:30.840 for a small handheld or battery powered mixer. Marcus actually had a really good idea during the 08:30.840 --> 08:37.240 Madonna tune, said, how about going to the pawn shop? There's a lot of musicians that need money 08:37.240 --> 08:42.280 in San Francisco and it's probably been pawning everything, so it's a good idea maybe Friday morning 08:42.280 --> 08:52.200 because tomorrow going up to Seattle, I'll give you one guess who I'm seeing up there should be 08:52.200 --> 09:00.920 interesting. It's been, wow, maybe, trying to think, it's probably been like seven years since 09:00.920 --> 09:08.040 I've been up to Redmond, and of course there's, I think I told you about that, that a guy named 09:08.040 --> 09:14.600 Aida Kuhers, who was a Dutch guy. I met a couple of years ago about four or five years ago in Holland, 09:14.600 --> 09:19.720 he was just recently promoted up to some big muckery muck post up there and he knew us on the 09:19.800 --> 09:23.720 West Coast, he said, I'll come on up and we'll talk and we'll do some stuff. I think that's kind of 09:23.720 --> 09:27.720 turned into like we're meeting 50 people or something, but that's okay. Should be fun, it's always 09:27.720 --> 09:35.560 good to find out what's going on up north. We're going to talk about today a couple of things. 09:35.560 --> 09:41.000 I don't know if I'm going to make it 40 minutes because it is now 10 p.m. and we have to leave 09:42.040 --> 09:47.880 the hotel at a quarter to six to make the 7 a.m. flight, which of course is having me regret the 09:47.960 --> 09:57.400 fact that we agreed to come on up. Last night was the Wired Awards, the Wired Rave Awards 09:57.400 --> 10:07.240 in the legendary Fillmore. It was, I didn't know exactly what I was to expect from an award 10:07.240 --> 10:11.480 show, you kind of expect that someone will be up on stage and announce nominees, they're 10:11.480 --> 10:16.280 announced winners and maybe there's a short word of thanks or something, but it was none of that. 10:16.360 --> 10:21.960 It was almost like, I remember parties like this in New York, MTV used to throw parties like this 10:21.960 --> 10:25.960 with a whole bunch of people who were just way too cool and hit for the room and they all kind of 10:25.960 --> 10:30.440 mall around, eyeing each other and you know, no one really talks because the music is just a little 10:30.440 --> 10:37.800 bit too loud and there's perhaps the drinks flow a little bit too freely and it was weird, 10:37.800 --> 10:45.720 it was, I mean the setting was great, it was beautiful. I didn't recognize one single solitary person 10:45.800 --> 10:53.080 in the entire, well no, it's not true. I met C. Carl Jacob who he actually got me started in a lot of 10:53.080 --> 10:59.400 stuff when he was at Sun and that was, well that was before I started on ramp. It was good to see him. 11:00.520 --> 11:04.280 What he'd do, he had a company called Dimension X, he sold that and then what he'd do he went 11:04.280 --> 11:12.920 on to work for Cloud Mark, I think. God no, he's in a kite surfing right now, so that was good to 11:13.000 --> 11:17.720 see him and I think there was no, what's the, Mark is you know, what's the virtual, the guy 11:17.720 --> 11:23.880 like the credit as the father of virtual reality with all the dreadlocks, Lanier, I mean I can't 11:23.880 --> 11:28.360 remember his name. Well anyway, you know that dude with the dreadlocks? Yeah, he was there. 11:30.920 --> 11:39.960 He was there. Oh, but I did not win by the way in the category for tech innovator, I was nominated for 11:40.280 --> 11:49.080 iPodder. The award went to blog lines. I think he's, what does his name Eric? I think it is. 11:49.080 --> 11:55.960 Is that Eric? You eat it? Oh, is that it? Yeah. Well, what, what, what? Check, right. Yeah, I've got 11:55.960 --> 12:00.920 markers here doing all the show prep for me. This is great. Most prep. Well, 12:00.920 --> 12:09.240 speaking, we check it. Exactly. I was really proud of Mr. Colehouse or you might pronounce his name 12:09.320 --> 12:14.280 his cool ass. He's a Dutch architect. He won for best architect. That was very cool. 12:14.840 --> 12:18.440 But so there was no announcement of the winner. It was just like, you know, there were screens and 12:18.440 --> 12:22.440 they, and the screens rotated the nominees and then it highlighted the winner. I was like, wow, yeah, 12:22.440 --> 12:26.840 okay, that's all right. And then the editor and chief got on stage and the mic was, you know, 12:26.840 --> 12:30.840 he had a love mic on, which is like that sucked. That didn't work. He couldn't hear him at all. 12:31.640 --> 12:38.440 And then Danger Mouse did a couple sets. He's the guy credited with bringing mashups to the 12:38.520 --> 12:42.520 masses, although I think that mashups have kind of been around for a while, but he did that 12:43.080 --> 12:49.160 the gray album, the Beatles mashup with Jay-Z. So that was definitely cool. We played that on the 12:49.160 --> 12:55.640 source code. So, you know, that's awesome stuff that he's doing. And so around 10 o'clock, 12:55.640 --> 13:01.000 he's like, well, all right. Let's go. That was really nice. Oh, and all the nominees did get this 13:01.080 --> 13:07.800 block of, there you go. So I think it's a aircraft aluminium. And note, by the way, I say 13:07.800 --> 13:13.720 aluminium, which is the correct pronunciation. It's not aluminum. That is not actually an alloy. 13:13.720 --> 13:18.360 I think that exists. It's aluminium. So this is like block of, you know, what does it like? 13:19.480 --> 13:25.720 It looks like a like a die. And the size would be, what does that two by probably two inches 13:25.720 --> 13:32.360 by two inches by two inches by two inches? And little ribbon weighs a ton. And I asked the nominees 13:32.360 --> 13:38.040 to walk around with them. Listen to this thing. Hanging around your neck like this big anchor. 13:39.960 --> 13:45.560 So that was nice. That was kind of cool. But what was really nice is they had the new 13:47.080 --> 13:53.800 the new addition of wide magazine, which is a whole thing about radio. I don't know if I 13:53.880 --> 13:58.360 told you about this. But it's basically about the death of radio. And they feature 13:58.760 --> 14:05.880 serious satellite radio in there. They feature some terrestrial digital broadcast thing, 14:05.880 --> 14:11.400 which is on my clear channel and podcasting. And you remember, I went through all that work 14:11.400 --> 14:17.400 in in South Beach to do these pictures with a great photographer, by the way. We, you know, we got 14:17.400 --> 14:24.120 an Audi A8 that they rolled in specifically for the photo shoot. And we spent a couple of hours 14:24.120 --> 14:28.360 doing pictures there. Not one of those pictures made into the magazine. But then we did something 14:28.360 --> 14:32.520 with a photographer wanted to do. Because I was like the photo editor wanted that picture of the A8. 14:32.520 --> 14:36.360 And the photographer said, I want you something else. And well, if you get the magazine, you'll see 14:36.360 --> 14:43.320 it. It's a, it's a, it's a, basically a full page shot of my face, which would be extremely 14:43.320 --> 14:49.480 frightening. Had they not luckily completely photoshopped it. So I look like a, like a plasticine 14:49.480 --> 14:56.920 wax doll. So there's no lines. And, you know, it's, it's fake, essentially. And even it's 14:56.920 --> 15:00.760 even saw some comments on on credit card on the weblog people saying, wow, what kind of, 15:00.760 --> 15:04.200 what kind of makeup are you wearing? Well, no, please. I mean, that was, that's not what I 15:04.200 --> 15:10.520 really look like. That is all photoshop. And by the way, any magazine you pick up, if you think 15:10.600 --> 15:15.880 that any of those bodies, particularly women's magazines, if you think any of that is real, 15:15.880 --> 15:21.960 no way, it's all photoshop. Not a single solitary picture makes it into any magazine these days 15:21.960 --> 15:27.960 without being photoshopped. And by the way, if I see one more commercial of Kate Moss 15:27.960 --> 15:33.640 with get the fucking London look and these, and this I, what is it, mascara that's supposed to 15:33.640 --> 15:41.160 make your eyelashes look really long? Please, she's wearing fake eyelashes, okay? So it's a lie 15:41.160 --> 15:49.960 and it's fake and that's what the cosmetic business is. It's two cents worth of mud and two 15:49.960 --> 15:57.800 million worth of marketing. So wired awards. Yeah, okay. I would suggest doing it differently, 15:57.800 --> 16:01.720 and I think they would probably get more mileage out of it for their own magazine if they did 16:01.800 --> 16:05.880 a little more, and just a little more traditional sense of an award show because it's just 16:05.880 --> 16:10.360 nothing to do with awards. But it was really nice and it was great being nominated and I really 16:10.360 --> 16:19.000 appreciated that, but yeah, anyway, moving along. Just before I started the show, my Skype 16:19.000 --> 16:24.760 bleeped. I thought I had an incoming message or a phone call, but it was actually an upgrade message. 16:25.720 --> 16:31.960 And I did the upgrade and low on behold, we have some spiffy new features on Skype for the 16:31.960 --> 16:35.160 Mac now. I had the voicemail feature. I don't know if that's not standard in it or not, 16:37.080 --> 16:40.760 or maybe you still have to get invited. I do have that voicemail features. That's cool. 16:41.400 --> 16:47.000 But now you can also finally do conferencing from the Mac. So it looks like Skype is really 16:47.000 --> 16:52.760 moving up and I guess this is a stable version and love in it completely, especially now with the 16:52.840 --> 16:57.480 trip I've been calling home. I try to call home every at least once a day, sometimes two times 16:57.480 --> 17:02.760 a day, but to be able to do that and just talk for an hour on the phone, basically, 17:02.760 --> 17:09.000 for almost no money, is a confusing Skype out is absolutely fantastic. These guys are on 17:09.000 --> 17:14.120 something really, really big. Speaking of new applications, I bought a lemon out with a new 17:15.160 --> 17:20.760 new beta version for the Mac. I've been trying that out. It looks really clean, really fast. 17:21.720 --> 17:27.640 I've also worked on putting up a cleaner version of the directory for them, which is 17:27.640 --> 17:32.600 now sucking in. So that works a lot faster. They've got a clean up buttons. You can basically 17:32.600 --> 17:36.760 delete all those files that are hanging around. I'd still like to see a little more a little close 17:36.760 --> 17:43.160 like a Tvo functionality where basically you say, after two gigs of stuff that you've downloaded, 17:43.160 --> 17:47.320 start deleting it or whatever. There should be some kind of preferences that we put in there 17:47.480 --> 17:53.400 that a little bit beyond just delete old stuff or whatever. But that's just personal taste, 17:53.400 --> 18:00.680 I guess. But it's looking really good. And there's a couple more two point out, even three 18:00.680 --> 18:04.840 point out versions of iPodders coming along. So I'll try and keep you updated as much as possible. 18:04.840 --> 18:07.400 I'm really fried. I'm not going to keep this. I'm not going to make this too long. 18:08.120 --> 18:13.160 About 18 minutes into the show. I did catch the new bitty cast. I'll just play a little bit in the 18:13.240 --> 18:18.840 background here. If you want to hear what goes on with an all-girl band and the stuff they talk about 18:19.480 --> 18:25.800 is a whack. Just listen in for a second. What I really like about it is the stereo sound is 18:25.800 --> 18:30.120 so nice. They've got it completely separated left and right channel. Listen a little bit of the 18:30.120 --> 18:35.560 bitty cast. The guy from B2 records like this record label. And then there was the man. That's Amanda. 18:35.560 --> 18:39.160 One of those swing bands like Big Bed Booty Daddy or my command like that. And he's like, 18:39.160 --> 18:45.320 well, you know, we made our record for a fraction of that cost and we're talking about how 18:45.320 --> 18:50.600 cost efficiently they work. Yeah. And I totally met these girls in New York. They are so set up man. 18:50.600 --> 18:57.400 They've got bitty's LLC. They've got lawyers. They've got a band fund. They're making money. I mean, 18:57.400 --> 19:01.720 they're not really putting a lot of money in their pocket. They say not yet at least or not when we 19:01.720 --> 19:05.640 spoke that could have changed immediately. But you know, they got money to record. They got money 19:05.640 --> 19:11.080 to do their own tour support. It's just totally beautiful. And now with the bitty cast, 19:11.080 --> 19:16.680 which you can find at bittycast.com, you can subscribe to the feed there. You know, live by 19:16.680 --> 19:22.120 carously through them. I haven't even listened to this whole show. Let me see what's the length of 19:22.120 --> 19:27.000 this one. This is from the 20th. It's a 26 minutes. I love well, of course. Well, you know, 19:27.000 --> 19:30.200 they started out. They couldn't have started out any better to get my attention. Actually, 19:30.200 --> 19:35.240 check this out. What were we recording now? You're doing a think of an intro. And so I 19:35.240 --> 19:42.440 skipped the four of these at 16 loops. It's late. And we kind of do really. So get your attention. 19:42.440 --> 19:46.920 Yeah, I thought it was. No, we have enough for our two people. That's true. 19:46.920 --> 19:53.000 Each one of what? No. We got a lot of moves for it. But not 16. No, that's true. That's a little 19:53.000 --> 19:58.280 you know. Okay. Well, if that is enough of the tease, then I don't know what is. Another podcast I ran 19:58.600 --> 20:03.480 up a bump into something. I listened to it all the way through. It's just wow. This is such a tremendous 20:03.480 --> 20:09.160 wealth of information stuff. I never heard about thought about, you know, it's the stuff that 20:09.160 --> 20:14.760 usually have to go to college too to, and you know me, my academic career. You got to go to college 20:14.760 --> 20:20.760 to learn this stuff. If you've ever wondered about the stars and the planets and astronomy in general, 20:20.760 --> 20:25.320 you might want to check out slacker astronomy. Listen to a little bit here. 20:28.600 --> 20:34.600 Welcome to show number negative three of slacker astronomy. A podcast about astronomy and just about 20:34.600 --> 20:39.320 anything else that floats over our heads. Every week or so, we will bring you a summary of recent 20:39.320 --> 20:43.480 news events from the world of astronomy. And during slow news weeks, we'll simultaneously cast the 20:43.480 --> 20:51.880 Howard Stern Show. You know, for the ratings. This week's show is about big, bad space, big, bad empty space. 20:51.880 --> 20:57.080 It's kind of space that exists in W's head. Or so it often seems. W's victory in November. 20:57.880 --> 21:02.760 Don't you wish? Don't you wish that you had a professor who talked about astronomy that way, 21:02.760 --> 21:07.720 comparing big empty space to what's in George W's head? I mean, that's beautiful. Really pretty smart. 21:07.720 --> 21:13.160 And recent events show that outer space is not as empty or as tranquil as it generally appears. 21:13.160 --> 21:17.640 When we look up at the black night sky, we see a lonely wasteland of isolated stars. 21:17.640 --> 21:22.120 It may feel as if our planet is alone in a drift in an empty universe. What most of us don't 21:22.200 --> 21:28.440 realize is the same sky that looks relaxed and calm is in fact fiery and active. Stars are exploding. 21:28.440 --> 21:34.120 Galaxies are colliding. And even the soft little gas clouds and nebulas are shooting microwave lasers. 21:34.120 --> 21:38.840 So I don't want to give it all away. But basically, if you listen to this slacker astronomy podcast, 21:38.840 --> 21:44.280 you'll be pretty worried about this explosion that happened 50 million light years away or a go or 21:44.280 --> 21:48.920 what does it light years away or a go away? But if it's, if it's light years away, 21:48.920 --> 21:57.000 then it takes, doesn't take 50 light years to get here? 50 light years or 50 regular years. 21:58.600 --> 22:05.400 See, I stumped Marcus. 50 years in our time, a light year is the distance light travels in one year. 22:06.840 --> 22:14.920 Okay. So that one million 800 and some, why do you know this stuff? 22:15.000 --> 22:22.680 Anyway, you can find the slacker astronomy podcast through iPod.org, which is really heating up. 22:22.680 --> 22:29.800 Thanks to some of the recent press that we've been getting. It's, I mean, normally we see about 10 to 15 22:29.800 --> 22:36.840 new podcasts being listed a day. Now we're closer to 20 to 25. So it's really heating up. And by the way, 22:36.840 --> 22:43.000 if you subscribe to the iPod.org RSS feed, you can actually have those come into your aggregators. 22:43.000 --> 22:47.720 So you know, you wouldn't necessarily have to go to iPod.org all the time to see what's new. 22:47.720 --> 22:51.720 And you know, you're pretty much, if you don't go there every single day, you're going to start missing 22:51.720 --> 22:56.760 because it just has to scroll off the bottom at a certain point. But it's, that's just been, 22:56.760 --> 23:02.120 just been phenomenal, the amount of podcasts that are coming online. I can hardly believe how much 23:02.120 --> 23:09.880 is happening. Let me see, before we get into this, was something else that I wanted to say that was 23:09.960 --> 23:15.560 really, oh, yes, there was hold on. I have all my crap here on top of this article. 23:16.920 --> 23:25.560 I was, number is ranting about the security, the airport security in New York. Was it a great article 23:25.560 --> 23:33.640 in the San Francisco Chronicle? I'm just gonna find the front page. I can't find that. Anyway, 23:33.720 --> 23:40.120 there's a security firm at San Francisco Airport SFO has been accused of cheating. 23:41.000 --> 23:50.680 And what that means is that the home security office or whatever you call that will send 23:50.680 --> 23:57.240 undercover agents to all the airports, of course, to see if they can penetrate security. So they've 23:57.240 --> 24:03.240 got like bombs and guns and all this kind of this contraband stuff that you should box 24:03.240 --> 24:10.120 cutters, whatever. You shouldn't be able to take on the plane. And so of course, they do penetrate 24:10.120 --> 24:14.440 through the security, but what the security firm, which is a private firm, by the way, hired by 24:14.440 --> 24:23.400 the government, basically performing in a governmental role, what they did is, if one of these 24:24.280 --> 24:29.080 decoys, I guess, would penetrate their security. And what would happen is, they'd go through 24:29.080 --> 24:33.960 security, they'd smuggle whatever through they had, so like a knife or gun and they'd say, okay, 24:33.960 --> 24:41.800 listen, I'm an agent here and you missed this. They had a whole system set up of 1,200 cameras 24:41.800 --> 24:47.320 where they would follow this guy, because what he would basically do is he would then go to the next 24:47.320 --> 24:52.760 security checkpoint and try to do the same thing. And so, you know, well, they call it cheating, 24:54.040 --> 24:58.760 essentially, they would hand off that information all the way down the line, so the guy would never 24:58.760 --> 25:05.480 penetrate another checkpoint again. So that's one point, which, you know, all right, so that's happening, 25:05.480 --> 25:17.080 but the meat of the story to me is that apparently they only catch 90% of what is taken through 25:17.080 --> 25:27.480 the security checkpoints. The other 10% includes knives, box cutters, baseball bats, bricks, golf clubs, 25:27.480 --> 25:37.160 and even ones in the past couple months, a small chain saw. So so much for your fucking security, 25:37.160 --> 25:42.360 you know, all you need is, don't you need just like 1% to go wrong or just one little item, 25:43.320 --> 25:51.640 please. Again, I will, I submit that the security at the US airports is there to make us feel safe, 25:51.640 --> 25:56.840 it's horseshit, it doesn't make you any safer. Yeah, you always want to try and get the one whack job, 25:56.840 --> 26:02.680 but essentially it would be much better to create something with winky, blinky lights and 26:02.680 --> 26:09.240 retinal scans and radars and you walk through that with your luggage and, you know, you're then 26:09.240 --> 26:14.200 scanned and, you know, you're approved and then you can go through, which means, of course, 26:14.200 --> 26:18.280 they didn't check anything, but at least you'll feel a lot safer and isn't that what it's all about. 26:21.480 --> 26:26.280 Fine, for the hit test. It's not going to be multiple choice. Every test is multiple choice. 26:29.160 --> 26:35.720 With Yon, Poli. Hey, Yon! Hi, Adam. It's time for hit test number 14. 26:35.720 --> 26:40.680 Right, I don't, but it's the 7th, number 13. What do you mean? So, the tricks will be played for you two times. 26:40.680 --> 26:45.320 Okay, and afterwards you get five seconds to think about it. So, are you ready? I don't get my 10 second one. 26:47.960 --> 26:53.720 Yon, Pharnam, you're the boy. Yon, Pharnam, you're the boy. Yon, Pharnam, you're the boy. 26:57.320 --> 27:00.120 Okay, I'm going to stick with my answer. Yon, Pharnam, you're the boys. 27:01.080 --> 27:02.280 What, for number two? 27:06.280 --> 27:11.000 And once again, no idea about it. 27:14.440 --> 27:18.040 I got to give up on that one. And this is number three. 27:20.040 --> 27:24.200 Oh, yeah, I know this one. This song is actually one more time. 27:25.080 --> 27:31.240 That's the first song I played on my first official radio game, Pointer Sisters. He's so shy. 27:34.760 --> 27:38.760 I think. That's my five seconds. It's time for the answer. 27:39.560 --> 27:46.040 Answer number one. Yeah. In today's hit test number 14. Yon Pharnam, this is the voice. 27:55.160 --> 28:16.040 And the second entry today's hit test. It's name is Cherry. This is inner city mama. 28:16.040 --> 28:18.040 I never would have guessed that. 28:24.600 --> 28:27.800 I don't remember the song at all. And then it's Cherry sure, but 28:33.800 --> 28:41.240 and the final answer. It's an old drag from the Point of Sisters. And he's so shy. 28:54.200 --> 29:08.280 And the point of Sisters and he's so shy is answer number three into this hit test. 29:09.000 --> 29:13.960 Well, that's hit feedback. It's welcome. It's hit test at gmail.com and all information about the hit test. 29:13.960 --> 29:19.880 And the new hit test podcast can be found at www.yonfolet.nl. 29:19.880 --> 29:27.080 This G-A-N-B-O-L-E-T-D-S-N-L. Well, I don't see you next time for number 15 of the hit test. 29:27.080 --> 29:31.880 Bye bye. Thank you very much. That was good one. That was good. That was good. Thank you very much. Yonple, 29:31.880 --> 29:38.120 doing the hit test. And well, tomorrow's somewhere tomorrow. Of course, there'll be another podcast. 29:38.120 --> 29:41.480 It's going to be a little tough for us. Well, maybe I'll do one on the plane or something like that. 29:41.480 --> 29:47.560 Oh, by the way, before I forget, I must say we were in the meeting today. The company was 29:47.560 --> 29:52.760 really, really smart people who've been working on their own version of podcasting for quite a while, actually. 29:52.760 --> 29:59.160 And so it's in there with like the chief technology officer and a couple other people. 29:59.160 --> 30:03.800 And the door opens and the young lady just folks are head. It's a small company. 30:03.800 --> 30:07.960 Just folks are head around the corner. She says, hey, I just wanted to say hi, 30:07.960 --> 30:11.880 because I listened to the daily source code every single day. So, I'll straight. 30:17.560 --> 30:23.480 Keep messing in the roof. It's hard. You drive us wild. We'll drive you crazy. 30:26.120 --> 30:34.920 You say you want your first spin. Part is just a double hit. You win. You drive us wild. We'll drive you crazy. 30:34.920 --> 32:51.250 [ Music ] 32:53.160 --> 33:02.980 Hey, see Dixie from their album Kiss My Grass, Rockin' Roll and I, of course, you probably 33:02.980 --> 33:09.340 recognize that from one of Michael Butler's all-time favorites, Keas. 33:09.340 --> 33:16.960 Before I go, I just want to mention that I stand corrected in the previous podcast, I spoke 33:16.960 --> 33:26.120 about helicopter pilots, not smoking, and Hugh, Hugh Adonnell sent me three pictures 33:26.120 --> 33:33.200 no less, it must be a collector of cockpit pictures, three different helicopters, each 33:33.200 --> 33:40.900 of which contains an astray, so there's the aerospatial, a Spasial 355, which is like the 33:40.900 --> 33:46.540 euro, it's like the big asturocopter helicopter, nice, the last tray there, neatly positioned 33:46.540 --> 33:53.340 on the left hand side, by the way, that's the passenger side, I think, in the French helicopter. 33:53.340 --> 33:59.580 Then there's a Bell 206, which looks like it's astray, is located right in the middle 33:59.580 --> 34:04.980 of the console, or wait a minute, is that I can't really tell what that is, and then there's 34:04.980 --> 34:12.580 also a bull-cove, which is a very popular helicopter for police and trauma use, and they 34:12.580 --> 34:15.540 also have an astray, right, and you know what? 34:15.540 --> 34:25.500 All of these astrays look used, maybe I just need a new machine, yeah, that's a show, a little 34:25.500 --> 34:30.300 bit shorter than normal, but time for you to hit the hay off to Seattle tomorrow morning, 34:30.300 --> 34:33.620 and somewhere in the evening we'll be back with another daily source code, and I'll tell 34:33.620 --> 34:40.100 you all about the days of MCs, as usual, it's Adam and Curry.com, and all the archives 34:40.100 --> 34:46.100 in the latest show at Daily Source Code.com. 34:46.100 --> 34:51.740 Weblog is www.curry.com, leave a comment there, I still haven't had time to clean out my entry 34:51.740 --> 34:55.380 through feedback, Gmail, e-box, I'm probably going to wait to do that until I get back 34:55.380 --> 35:00.700 home to go for it, and by the way, going home Friday, which means I'll be back with my 35:00.700 --> 35:06.780 two girls Saturday morning looking forward to it, it's been a lot of fun, but it was like a big 35:06.780 --> 35:13.660 road trip, okay, take care everybody, have a great day, and I'll talk to you tomorrow, bye-bye.
