08:57.000 --> 08:58.000 Ice? 08:58.000 --> 09:02.480 And there you go, my uncle worked at the CIA for 31 years. 09:02.480 --> 09:06.320 I believe he might have actually run it for a period of time. 09:06.320 --> 09:09.960 Then he got heavily involved in Asian affairs. 09:09.960 --> 09:11.680 He was in Vietnam for four years. 09:11.680 --> 09:15.720 He was also the ambassador to South Korea for a couple of years. 09:15.720 --> 09:26.720 And when George H 41, as we say, was vice president, Don was, 09:27.200 --> 09:28.920 I know he's a personal advisor. 09:28.920 --> 09:32.320 He was on the VPs personal staff. 09:32.320 --> 09:35.720 I don't know if it was security advisor or, well, 09:35.720 --> 09:38.520 we're going to find out because I am going to interview him 09:38.520 --> 09:40.400 in the not too distant future. 09:40.400 --> 09:42.880 Because he's just fascinating guy. 09:42.880 --> 09:43.880 70, yet years old. 09:43.880 --> 09:48.640 And currently, for a while, he's been the CEO of something called 09:48.640 --> 09:49.760 the Korea Society. 09:49.760 --> 09:53.000 And the Korea Society is a nonprofit. 09:53.000 --> 09:56.520 And its entire purpose is to help Koreans 09:56.520 --> 10:00.680 and Americans, North Koreans, as well, understand each other better. 10:00.680 --> 10:03.160 He's also been in North Korea several times. 10:03.160 --> 10:05.320 And he's met with the regime. 10:05.320 --> 10:08.040 And he has been, I believe he's been instrumental in some 10:08.040 --> 10:12.200 of the negotiations and the table of six, 10:12.200 --> 10:15.160 or what are the meeting of six, whatever it's called. 10:15.160 --> 10:19.240 So really, kind of stupid of me, not to have thought of 10:19.240 --> 10:20.640 hooking up with him much, much earlier. 10:20.640 --> 10:23.040 So I said, you know what, I'll drop by the office. 10:23.040 --> 10:24.120 We had a great Korean lunch. 10:24.120 --> 10:27.160 It was really weird because I walked in and everyone's like 10:27.160 --> 10:28.760 Ambassador Greg and Ambassador Greg. 10:28.760 --> 10:31.800 And I'm 41 still calling him Uncle Don. 10:31.800 --> 10:34.440 Could help it. 10:34.440 --> 10:37.240 And so, you know, we had some family conversation, 10:37.240 --> 10:40.520 which was really nice, just have a nice lunch 10:40.520 --> 10:44.320 and sit in this beautiful library surrounded by pictures of 10:44.320 --> 10:49.040 presidents and him and all just fantastic artwork, 10:49.040 --> 10:53.640 Korean, just literature, all kinds of stuff, 10:53.640 --> 10:57.720 all over the place, really fascinating. 10:57.720 --> 11:01.080 And we really started talking about politics, of course. 11:01.080 --> 11:06.360 I mean, this is a guy when I used to stay at my cousin's house, 11:06.360 --> 11:10.120 which, of course, you know, kids of the ambassador. 11:10.120 --> 11:12.600 He had a red phone and it was literally like, 11:12.600 --> 11:15.560 you pick that one up and you get the situation room. 11:15.560 --> 11:17.560 I do remember picking it up once and hearing some, 11:17.560 --> 11:18.440 and didn't, you know, I was just like, 11:18.440 --> 11:20.680 I'll just pick it up and listen to the dial tone and immediately 11:20.760 --> 11:23.560 it was like, you know, White House operator. 11:23.560 --> 11:24.760 What's wrong with the Greg? 11:28.760 --> 11:31.960 So I, you know, I said, you know, we just went on, 11:31.960 --> 11:35.560 you know, he had so many, he has a lot of frustration 11:35.560 --> 11:37.240 because he knows Korea so well. 11:37.240 --> 11:41.560 And obviously North Korea being on the so-called 11:41.560 --> 11:42.680 Axis of evil. 11:43.880 --> 11:47.080 So he's a guy who's a Republican who is not at all happy, 11:47.080 --> 11:50.360 not at all happy with 43. 11:50.840 --> 11:54.120 George W. Bush, he's very, very vocal about it. 11:54.120 --> 12:00.120 In fact, his Christmas card was, was a beautiful Christmas card 12:00.120 --> 12:07.160 with a picture of Don, his wife, Meg, the Korean ambassador 12:07.160 --> 12:13.560 and his wife, and 43, George 41, George H. 12:13.560 --> 12:14.840 No, Barbara wasn't there. 12:15.400 --> 12:19.080 And he had actually written on the picture, you know, 12:19.160 --> 12:22.600 Merry Christmas, this is the good Bush. 12:22.600 --> 12:26.120 And I believe some people were very upset and, you know, wrote 12:26.120 --> 12:29.160 some other message on the card and sent it back to him. 12:29.160 --> 12:32.200 But, you know, this so this guy's very, very politically minded 12:32.200 --> 12:33.320 and very outspoken. 12:34.520 --> 12:37.320 And I said, you know, but you know, you know, a whole bunch of these 12:37.320 --> 12:40.520 guys in the regime and of course, the topic was Cheney and he said 12:40.520 --> 12:44.520 something very interesting. He said, I do not recognize Cheney. 12:44.520 --> 12:46.600 He says, this is not the guy that I work with. 12:46.600 --> 12:51.880 He's 180 degrees, the opposite of the Cheney he knew. 12:52.680 --> 12:54.040 And I thought that was pretty interesting. 12:56.840 --> 13:01.800 But he has all kinds of just fascinating insight into what's going on in the 13:01.800 --> 13:04.840 world and then he had a guest speaker in and he's caught me. He's slick. 13:04.840 --> 13:07.400 You know, he's sitting with me for like an hour and a half and then 13:07.400 --> 13:10.120 he goes and meets with his speaker and I introduce his name. 13:10.120 --> 13:12.360 We're talking and then we walk right into the auditorium. 13:12.360 --> 13:16.520 He goes right to the podium and introduces Ian Bremer, who's from 13:16.520 --> 13:19.960 the Eurasia group, which is also very interesting. 13:19.960 --> 13:22.360 This is another guy I want to introduce. I just want to introduce 13:22.360 --> 13:25.320 some of these people because, you know, it's so the quality of information I 13:25.320 --> 13:29.560 received and just an afternoon was so much better than any publication 13:29.560 --> 13:34.440 or news program or just anything that I've been able to learn about 13:34.440 --> 13:40.040 what's going on. And, you know, so of course we talked a little bit about 13:40.040 --> 13:45.240 podcasting, which he had not heard of. And I said, look, you know, I had 13:45.240 --> 13:49.800 really love to have you on the show and just ask you questions. 13:49.800 --> 13:54.680 And he said that he would be delighted to, there's going to be stuff that's 13:54.680 --> 13:57.880 off limits. I think I probably have to ask him first, you know, if there's 13:57.880 --> 14:01.480 stuff I can't even ask about because, you know, throughout the years, I'm sure 14:01.480 --> 14:05.240 as, you know, growing up in family, you know, you hear stuff that maybe 14:05.240 --> 14:11.960 not, maybe isn't meant for, for rebroadcast, particularly in the 14:12.120 --> 14:17.320 earlier agency years. But I'm really excited about that. So in the next, 14:17.320 --> 14:20.920 I'd say in the next four weeks or so I'm going to try and make it happen. 14:20.920 --> 14:25.480 I'm going to have the ambassador on the show. It'll be, I think you're really, really 14:25.480 --> 14:29.080 enjoyed and he has great stories and he does accents when he does stories, 14:29.080 --> 14:37.320 just a, he's a great storyteller. So that was, that really just perfected an 14:37.320 --> 14:43.400 already perfect week, even though I was dead dead tired, just from running around 14:43.400 --> 14:48.600 in the, in the snow in the city, it was very productive and it's good to be home. 14:48.600 --> 14:52.840 Patricia is leaving in a couple hours. She's, as, as I think I told you, she's going to 14:52.840 --> 14:57.400 rhododam to help her sister open up her accessories store. 14:57.400 --> 15:02.840 And I don't know what it's, I should ask her what it's called. So anyway, she's 15:02.840 --> 15:05.880 getting packed up and then Christina and I will be here for the weekend. Then on 15:05.960 --> 15:10.680 Sunday, as Patricia is headed home, I'll be heading out to San 15:10.680 --> 15:15.400 Fran for a week out on the west coast. Because, you know, there's some really 15:15.400 --> 15:20.040 important stuff that has to be done. Like getting Trinity ready to be 15:20.040 --> 15:28.040 pumped out. Let me see. Okay, let me see. I, I something I want to talk about, 15:28.040 --> 15:32.840 but let's just, let's do some some audio stuff first. Okay, then we'll get to 15:33.800 --> 15:38.920 go back out to Adam. It's got me from Geek Brief TV. Since the Charlie's 15:38.920 --> 15:41.720 a testing ground for podcasting, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to 15:41.720 --> 15:45.320 help me try something on the brief. Now, I know everyone's mind goes to a 15:45.320 --> 15:49.080 slightly inappropriate place when they hear the term Double Ender. But for 15:49.080 --> 15:52.120 people who don't know, a Double Ender is a technique where people in two 15:52.120 --> 15:55.800 different places talk on SkyBrown Foam and each recorded conversation. The 15:55.800 --> 15:59.400 two files are edited together, so you end up with audio quality equivalent to what 15:59.480 --> 16:03.080 you'd get if both people were recording the same room. I want to do that with 16:03.080 --> 16:07.800 video and I'd like the first experiment to be an interview with you. Here's how 16:07.800 --> 16:12.040 it work. We set up a time for an eye chat and we have TV cameras rolling 16:12.040 --> 16:15.320 on both sides. We do the interview. You send me your aunt and I'll 16:15.320 --> 16:19.400 mash it up with mine. Mm, dirty. What do you think? Wanna give it a 16:19.400 --> 16:27.000 try? Okay. How can I refuse and offer for a double ender with you? 16:27.240 --> 16:31.400 Of course, I'd love to give it a try. I'm going to be in San Francisco. You know, we 16:31.400 --> 16:35.800 could try the double ender between two rooms or something. You know, just in 16:35.800 --> 16:41.720 case, you know, the distance is too great in the ass. If you haven't seen 16:41.720 --> 16:47.640 Callie, you must see geekbrief.tv. Great gadgets, great presentation. It's 16:47.640 --> 16:51.720 very consumable. It's short. It's fun. It's surprising.

The show starts at 830 p.m. Visit 17:49.400 --> 17:55.480 www.matuevil.com for driving directions and more details. 17:59.080 --> 18:04.440 Oh, man, we had some good talks over at a serious, uh, serious satellite radio 18:04.440 --> 18:09.640 HQ about Podsafe music on the bird. Nothing firm that I can talk about yet, but 18:09.720 --> 18:13.320 we had some really good conversations. And they're really kicking some 18:13.320 --> 18:17.320 ass over there. It's every single time I go back to serious, there's more 18:17.320 --> 18:21.480 shit, more paraphernalia rolling through the hallways, but it really 18:21.480 --> 18:27.480 actually it has a very early 1980s MTV vibe to be, to be honest with you. And 18:27.480 --> 18:30.680 that's just, you know, besides the fact that Steve leads a sitting in 18:30.680 --> 18:36.120 office overseeing things, it really does have that vibe to it. And it's 18:36.200 --> 18:39.560 cool, man. It really is. And it was, what a great trip. Great to hang out with P 18:39.560 --> 18:47.560 dub as well. And he'll eat. So, um, I was reading in the financial times, I 18:47.560 --> 18:51.880 believe it was probably Thursday's financial times, uh, but the reports were, 18:51.880 --> 18:57.880 you know, all over the place that, um, now there are more pictures of Abu 18:57.960 --> 19:05.160 gripe, uh, more pictures of detainees of, uh, apparent torture. 19:05.160 --> 19:08.600 And, uh, these have been obtained out of the Freedom of Information Act, and the 19:08.600 --> 19:12.040 government doesn't want them to be out because that'll cause unrest amongst 19:12.040 --> 19:16.120 Muslims and blah, blah, blah, blah, and you know, I'm like, okay, uh, I 19:16.120 --> 19:19.640 think that there is some process. As far as I know, there's some process 19:19.640 --> 19:23.080 taking place. And, and of course, you never get to the people who may be 19:23.080 --> 19:26.760 ultimately responsible, but people have been held to account for the 19:26.840 --> 19:31.960 atrocities that took place in Abu gripe. To me, you know, and this comes 19:31.960 --> 19:37.960 right back to the cartoons, and really the atrocity of, uh, of what the 19:37.960 --> 19:43.160 mainstream media is really doing. And to be honest, how influenced 19:43.160 --> 19:48.520 heavily by of all things, an episode of Boston Legal, um, James Spader, just 19:48.520 --> 19:52.040 fantastic actor, but the writing on that show is very, very clever, and 19:52.040 --> 19:56.520 and it does intertwine between reality and the twisted reality that is 19:56.520 --> 19:59.720 the law firm that includes Captain Kirk. I mean, let's be honest, right? 19:59.720 --> 20:03.640 And Candace Bergen, and we did have the lockler go, man. I was digging around the 20:03.640 --> 20:13.640 show. If you really want to make a stir, and you really want to help in 20:15.880 --> 20:21.400 the outrage that clearly there's outrage about the invasion of Iraq, 20:22.280 --> 20:27.240 um, there's lots of confusion about what's going on, but, you know, in the 20:27.240 --> 20:32.840 meantime, more than 2,000 soldiers, US soldiers have died. Over 300 20:32.840 --> 20:41.240 British soldiers, I believe, uh, Italians, certainly one Dutchman. I'm not sure 20:41.240 --> 20:44.520 about the Japanese, but they're also part of the quote coalition. 20:45.480 --> 20:54.040 And during the Vietnam war, the media really brought that war home. And what they 20:54.040 --> 21:02.440 did was, they showed our young men and women dying on foreign soil. And it 21:02.440 --> 21:08.280 caused an incredible outrage. And as I was thinking about this and that 21:08.280 --> 21:12.920 Boston Legal episode influenced me and thinking about this whole cartoon 21:13.080 --> 21:17.000 controversy. I'm like, you know, you want to be, you want to be a really big guy 21:17.000 --> 21:19.640 and really publish something that's really going to get some attention and we'll 21:19.640 --> 21:24.680 really get you in the news. Publish some pictures of dying marines, 21:24.680 --> 21:30.600 GIs, mail, and female. Publish some of that. And, you know, and this is not, and this 21:30.600 --> 21:35.000 is just, so I'm very clear, this is not out of disrespect for our service men and women 21:35.000 --> 21:39.560 quite the opposite, quite the opposite. It's about time that they really got 21:39.640 --> 21:43.640 respect for what's going on over there. And I feel that our media has not given them one 21:43.640 --> 21:48.680 single ounce of respect. I mean, even the pictures of the coffins coming back, 21:48.680 --> 21:52.920 drape with flags. Remember that? Those pictures had kind of been, they tried to 21:52.920 --> 21:58.600 muffle those away as well, because it's not good from morale. Come on, media, do your 21:58.600 --> 22:08.200 fucking job. Please excuse me, excuse my French. I hope that we can start a conversation 22:08.280 --> 22:12.760 about this, because, you know, now that I've been back in the States for a week again, 22:12.760 --> 22:16.600 I'm really thinking, where is it? Where are the pictures that will actually cause outrage? 22:17.160 --> 22:23.320 That will actually start a real conversation. And this kind of comes back to the, to the White 22:23.320 --> 22:27.880 House as well. You know, this whole chainy thing with, you know, trying to hide from the media, 22:27.880 --> 22:32.440 trying to cover up the story. Look, this is what what's happened. These guys are just like the 22:32.440 --> 22:37.560 Danny came movie are referred to, at least once a quarter, where they're writing the book of music 22:37.560 --> 22:42.520 and they sit in some university basement for 10 years writing this book. And by the time they 22:42.520 --> 22:49.240 come out, jazz has happened and has, has evolved. And, you know, they've completely only written 22:49.240 --> 22:54.840 maybe one quarter of the entire book of music. So too, with this, with this, with this administration, 22:54.840 --> 22:59.480 who've been in office during an entire internet revolution, yeah, Al Gore invented it and all that 22:59.480 --> 23:05.320 shit. But broadband has come really come home. The tools are there. We're creating. We're able to 23:05.400 --> 23:11.320 communicate very fast, very efficiently with each other. And these guys just don't know what happened. 23:11.320 --> 23:16.440 They're still doing it the old way. They're not even trying to cover anything up. But the old way 23:16.440 --> 23:21.480 was, you know, hey, we got to, you know, draw the wagons in a circle. Let's come up with how we're 23:21.480 --> 23:27.640 and by the way, Uncle Don has some shit to say about this as well. Draw everything in a circle, 23:27.640 --> 23:31.960 get everything, you know, completely positioned and do it all the right way. These guys can't 23:32.040 --> 23:37.640 deal with the speed of communication, the speed, which, which the constituency is living at, 23:38.200 --> 23:42.920 that's what's going on. That's why their PR nightmares continuously, because they're still trying 23:42.920 --> 23:47.240 to do it the old way. It doesn't work anymore. It does not work. 23:49.000 --> 23:54.520 Hey, man, that feels good to do that on a Friday. Hey, pretty soon in about two weeks, we'll be 23:54.520 --> 24:00.200 moving to channel 102 on serious. Currently, you're probably listening to the daily source code on 24:00.280 --> 24:06.040 serious stars 103. Glad to have you. If you really want to know what all the cool, uh, if you really 24:06.040 --> 24:10.760 want to hear all the cool stuff, then you have to check out some of these podcasts. Go to a podcast 24:10.760 --> 24:17.800 dialie.com, go to podshow.com or any podder.org or podcastpickle.com. You could check that out as well. 24:20.120 --> 24:25.880 For you guys in about five seconds, uh, Mark Yoshimaru Nemkov will come on with a 24:25.880 --> 24:32.120 Pacific Coast highway and after that the illustrious match Weinstein, and back on the podcast here. 24:32.120 --> 24:39.560 I have a, a Gmail inbound Gmail from Hank Garner. And I thought was a good question, a fair 24:39.560 --> 24:44.520 question. Adam, I'm a devout listener. I have a question for you. Does your daughter know about your 24:44.520 --> 24:51.640 quote, recreation? Just wondering, Hank Garner? Hank, yes, she does. Talking about the recreation. 24:52.600 --> 24:58.760 Remember now, I grew up in the Netherlands. I moved there when I was seven years old and 24:58.760 --> 25:03.560 very interesting country. It has changed quite a bit since, uh, since I live there, at least the 25:03.560 --> 25:10.200 first time around. Um, but there was, and it always has been in the Netherlands, um, culturally 25:10.200 --> 25:16.440 completely accepted. If you want to smoke a plant, that's your business. And it's not a process 25:16.440 --> 25:23.800 plant. It's just a plant. In fact, it's a, it's a, it's a weed. It grows just like a weed. Uh, so to are the 25:23.800 --> 25:29.800 drinking laws very supple in the Netherlands. Um, certainly when I was a child, if you were sick, if you, 25:29.800 --> 25:36.120 if you, at least look 16, you could walk into any bar and have a beer. And it really, none of these 25:36.120 --> 25:44.200 things were a big, big prostitution similar, um, regulated, um, kept under wraps, um, prostitutes 25:44.200 --> 25:49.240 plate, pay taxes, they have regular health checkups. This two has changed somewhat in the years. 25:49.800 --> 25:55.320 But because it was there and opened, it's no big deal. And nudity, I remember watching, uh, 25:55.320 --> 26:00.920 comedic shows that would come on at 730 in the evening and, uh, and they would be naked women 26:00.920 --> 26:06.920 walking around and either for humorous purposes or whatever, but uh, there's no shame for the naked 26:06.920 --> 26:13.240 body, uh, in the Netherlands. And that, that two has changed a little bit. Um, but that's the environment 26:13.320 --> 26:17.480 that I grew up in. And so all these things were just not considered a big deal. And guess what, 26:17.480 --> 26:24.840 if it's not a big deal, then it's not a big deal to have to try these things to an excess. Now, 26:24.840 --> 26:30.200 what they did do in the Netherlands is made driving very difficult. Most people will not get their 26:30.200 --> 26:35.800 license on the first go around probably two or three times that you'll have to take the exam before 26:35.800 --> 26:41.560 you actually pass. I think that's pretty smart. If you take the combination of all those things and 26:41.560 --> 26:46.200 also, you know, they really need less cars on the road and such a such a pimple of a country. 26:47.560 --> 26:54.680 Um, so I, uh, this is, this is it within my DNA that it's just not a big deal. 26:55.480 --> 27:02.600 And, um, when Christina was growing up in the US, she certainly did not, uh, know about any recreation, 27:03.400 --> 27:08.600 uh, for the simple reason that I wouldn't want her speaking of it, uh, at school because in the 27:08.600 --> 27:15.880 US, they would probably come and throw my ass in jail. I was really worried about that. Really. 27:17.240 --> 27:22.600 Um, so, um, but, um, no, she knows what it is. Of course she knows what it is. She's 15. 27:22.600 --> 27:27.480 She goes to public schools. She knows what everything is. Believe me. But it's no big deal. And she 27:27.480 --> 27:32.440 doesn't care. And she doesn't, um, she doesn't want to use it herself. She doesn't want to smoke. 27:32.520 --> 27:39.240 She doesn't smoke cigarettes. Uh, she doesn't drink. Um, and I think it's all just because it's 27:39.240 --> 27:43.320 no big deal. And if she wants to, then, uh, she knows where she can get a drink. Or if she wants 27:43.320 --> 27:46.360 something else, she knows where she can get that. She doesn't have to do that outside. So that's 27:47.240 --> 27:52.680 our vision on parenting. And I have to say we're really, really proud of this kid that we've, uh, 27:52.680 --> 27:59.000 we've produced and put on earth. We really are. What's this? Oh, yes. Oh, no. The 27:59.080 --> 28:07.240 cinema playground screens. I was a movie. Hey Adam, Jim from the cinema playground. 28:07.240 --> 28:11.960 I do. In honor of our one-year anniversary and our hundreds show, I have a new test for you 28:11.960 --> 28:16.600 in your daily source code listeners. I'll play three movie clips. You guess the movie. 28:17.560 --> 28:23.880 Okay. It might be a tumor. It's not a tumor. Uh, the Schwarzenegger. 28:24.600 --> 28:31.480 Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, and in case I don't see you, 28:31.480 --> 28:35.080 good afternoon, good evening. Jim, uh, do you carry in the Truman Show? 28:36.360 --> 28:37.080 That one I know. 28:38.920 --> 28:46.760 The sportos and motorhips, geeks, sluts, bluts, waste oils. Do we be the kids? They all adore it. 28:46.760 --> 28:52.200 They think he's a righteous dude. Classic. Isn't that the principle from Ferris Bueller's Day off? 28:54.040 --> 28:57.800 Here they are one more time before giving you the answers. Give yourself extra credit for 28:57.800 --> 29:03.400 knowing the year and the actor of the movie. All right. Might be a tumor. It's not a tumor. 29:04.760 --> 29:08.760 From kindergarten and our star Arnold Schwarzenegger from 1989. 29:10.760 --> 29:15.240 Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, and in case I don't see you, 29:15.240 --> 29:21.640 good afternoon, good evening and good night. Jim, carry in the 1998 film The Truman Show. 29:24.520 --> 29:32.360 Sportos and motorhips, geeks, sluts, bluts, waste oils. Do we be the kids? They all adore it. 29:32.360 --> 29:33.960 They think he's a righteous dude. 29:35.320 --> 29:38.440 In 1986, 80 McClurg and Ferris Bueller's Day off. 29:40.280 --> 29:43.960 Wait, I deserve a boring day off. Thanks for playing. Your feedback is appreciated. 29:43.960 --> 29:47.080 Feedback at cinemaplayground.com. We'll talk to you soon. 29:54.760 --> 29:59.320 Please remember to replace the speaker on the post when you leave the theater. 29:59.320 --> 30:03.560 Visit the cinemaplayground at cinemaplayground.com. 30:03.560 --> 30:09.800 Very cool. Congratulations on 100 episodes. There's a lot of those that have popped up recently. Very cool. 30:13.240 --> 30:17.640 This is not good at this. You actually pulled some movies that I have seen. And of course Ferris Bueller's 30:17.640 --> 30:22.520 Day off is such a classic and it was hard not to recognize Schwarzenegger. The boy, 30:22.520 --> 30:26.440 do I miss those hit tests? Oh, I wish we could do hit tests again. Really? 30:26.440 --> 30:29.960 Hey, Adam, this is Tokyo Jo from the newly released Made in Japan podcast. 30:29.960 --> 30:33.800 Hey, TJ. I just wanted to come in briefly and a couple of things that came up in Delta, 30:33.800 --> 30:39.000 Sarah, Charlie, 335. I see that Howard Stern has received some interest again from some 30:39.000 --> 30:45.800 of your listeners. And I was reminded of his thoughts or I lacked their love about podcasting when 30:45.800 --> 30:52.280 you're first talking about him a few months ago. So I decided to take a look at what podcast 30:52.280 --> 30:59.080 Ali is showing for statistics. And I see that as of today, there's 14,627 podcasts listed on podcast 30:59.080 --> 31:06.120 Ali. Now, it's thinking at each of them averages 100 listeners. Now, I know that not every podcast has 31:06.120 --> 31:12.360 100 listeners, but if you consider the DSC and Don and Drew probably make up for quite a bit of us who 31:12.360 --> 31:20.120 don't have the 100 listeners on average as yet. 14,627 podcasts times 100 listeners is 1.5 million 31:20.200 --> 31:25.000 listeners. Now, in the end, that may not be many just yet. But I think the important point of 31:25.000 --> 31:30.120 all this is that that's 100 or sorry, 1.5 million listeners listening from around the world. 31:31.000 --> 31:35.400 I've liked and I've listened a stern for a number of years when I was in the States, 31:36.200 --> 31:41.400 but on terrestrial radio or satellite radio, I can't hear them at all here in Tokyo, obviously. 31:41.400 --> 31:45.560 And you know, from that perspective, isn't one reason that podcasting is better than radio, 31:45.640 --> 31:50.680 it's simply because it's reach that can go around the world. And secondly, and briefly, 31:50.680 --> 31:55.400 this whole thing on advertising, you know, I heard the the communal earthling idea yesterday, 31:55.400 --> 32:01.160 I think it's great. But like some I said, also on the PSA's podcast, the impact of the 32:01.160 --> 32:06.920 burp in the Sinsayo comment, it's hit me like a ton of bricks. And I'm so in tune with the burping 32:06.920 --> 32:11.880 idea that anytime someone around me burps, I fall off with the Sinsayo, I actually board it out. 32:12.520 --> 32:17.160 And now all of my Japanese colleagues and friends, I'm sure they think I'm nuts, 32:17.160 --> 32:22.200 because you know, Sinsayo's not here and none of them have it, of course. Anyway, association 32:22.200 --> 32:26.840 advertising for my perspective really works. I don't care if you burp or fart at him, 32:26.840 --> 32:31.800 don't matter at all. This stuff really has my attention. I think it's something worth pursuing. 32:31.800 --> 32:37.560 Hey, keep it up, Adam, and thanks. All right, man. So two things, first of all, I think there are 32:37.720 --> 32:42.280 some podcasts of stirring around. And I believe that there's like a daily one minute or something that's 32:42.280 --> 32:49.000 uh, I had a meeting with Jennifer Betcat at serious. She's a formerly of AOL and she's actually got a pretty 32:49.000 --> 32:56.040 difficult task of integrating their website into their programming, which, of course, is not necessarily 32:56.040 --> 33:03.560 in the DNA like it is with podcasting, not of broadcasters. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 33:04.520 --> 33:14.360 comic strip, a blogger. Guess what, dude? Your wish is my command. Jennifer has promised me 33:14.360 --> 33:21.160 that the serious pod shows will be streaming. It's coming, my brother. It's coming. 33:22.200 --> 33:27.000 Now, regarding the earth link and advertising, yeah, the sound advertising, of course, 33:27.000 --> 33:32.120 was a tremendous experiment and I'm very happy with it. I can't even deprogram people. In 33:32.120 --> 33:35.880 fact, when I tried that, I got lots of people angry about the whole burping thing just by itself. 33:36.840 --> 33:40.840 So it is kind of limited in scope, because I don't have that many more bodily noises that I can 33:40.840 --> 33:45.800 that I'm guaranteed will show up within each, you know, within a half hour, basically, in any given 33:45.800 --> 33:52.040 half hour, and recording the show. So it's what somewhat limited in scope. Now, I'm a little disappointed 33:52.040 --> 33:58.120 for all the noise, all the pushback, all the the the flames and the ranting about the earth link 33:58.120 --> 34:03.720 advertising. So here we are. A Tuesday, I have a strategy, a strategy meeting. 34:06.280 --> 34:12.600 Thank God, it's not a steering committee, but we have a strategy meeting about the next earth link 34:12.600 --> 34:18.200 campaign. And this is going to be user generated. So, you know, now I've heard from lots of people, 34:18.200 --> 34:22.200 but all the people who yelled the loudest haven't come up with any really creative ideas, 34:22.200 --> 34:26.840 and I'd really like to hear from you because here's the opportunity. You know, you get the 34:26.840 --> 34:33.080 determined, how you want it to happen.
