WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.760 Hey everybody, this is Adam coming to you with the daily source code for Tuesday, March 00:07.760 --> 00:16.400 8th, 2005 from the restaurant area at Skiple Airport in Amsterdam, which is outside of Amsterdam. 00:16.400 --> 00:23.400 Got myself some McDonald's, I looked at the healthy stuff like the walk place, but it looks 00:23.400 --> 00:35.000 shitty. It's 820 PM, and oh man, today has been ups and downs, rollercoaster all the way 00:35.000 --> 00:41.800 in all aspects, by the way the sound quality is because I'm doing this on the iRiver recording 00:41.800 --> 00:47.000 on its internal microphone, so whenever I basically move my hand on the casing it creaks 00:47.000 --> 00:55.640 and scratches, but in general the quality is not bad, I found, so where to start off, today 00:55.640 --> 01:01.720 was supposed to be a flying day, and literally flying day, getting up really early, 415 to catch 01:01.720 --> 01:06.760 easy jet to Amsterdam, where taxi Eric was waiting to drive me to Antwerp about an hour and a half, 01:07.800 --> 01:11.720 to do some serious flight training with Wing Commander William, and when you're crazy about 01:11.720 --> 01:15.880 flying like I am, and you got one of the best in the business to train you, you'll do almost anything, 01:16.520 --> 01:24.760 and of course, driving back up after that, and taking the 955 flight home, which gets me 01:24.760 --> 01:33.880 in almost exactly the same time, 10.05 since we gain an hour, flying back in time from Amsterdam to London. 01:34.760 --> 01:41.320 So, I recorded some bits in the car, and I was going to do a much longer recording in podcast 01:41.400 --> 01:49.400 on the way back, but I'll get to that in a second, why that didn't happen. But the easy jet flight 01:49.400 --> 01:57.000 was actually great this morning, left on time, 7, 6, 25, got in on time, and we were able to land 01:57.000 --> 02:03.480 on not the fifth runway, which is the one that's like 15 minute taxi ride away from the terminal, 02:03.480 --> 02:08.360 and literally the plane has to taxi for 15 minutes, so we about 10 minutes early, taxi Eric wasn't 02:08.360 --> 02:13.800 even here yet, so it waited for like 5 minutes, he showed up, and then we started to drive down, 02:13.800 --> 02:19.800 and as I promised him, I brought along my iPod with the I-trip and his favorite podcast, 02:19.800 --> 02:24.040 Rock and Roll Geek Show, so here's a bit of our ride down to the airport. 02:26.040 --> 02:31.960 Okay, we're in the car right now with taxi Eric on a way to Antwerp, this thing is in Rock and Roll Geek! 02:32.760 --> 02:38.920 Hey, how are you doing, buddy?

Oh well, it was months ago. 05:59.320 --> 06:04.520 And so, now we just see if we can get onto the field before the strike is over, if we actually have to wait 06:07.000 --> 06:10.760 until everyone's back at their posts for them to let us on. 06:13.160 --> 06:17.080 It's shitty, it's shitty, yeah, it's especially after, you know, the day started for the death. 06:17.080 --> 06:20.600 Yeah, I got up at what time, I got up at like four or fifteen this morning. 06:20.600 --> 06:25.640 Yeah, I used half-fosh five, and it started for the death, and then we started very bad. 06:25.720 --> 06:27.320 Oh, I'm mooney, I'm a white Brazil. 06:27.880 --> 06:29.320 Oh, that's your life. 06:29.320 --> 06:30.040 You had a big flu. 06:30.600 --> 06:32.120 Okay, yeah, I'll pretend I got out. 06:32.120 --> 06:33.080 My daughter had a tooth. 06:33.080 --> 06:34.440 I don't want to end the tooth at there, you know?
