So that means that 05:48.140 --> 05:53.140 you might not even be hearing the show. Stuff might have already broken. Who knows this so many 05:53.140 --> 05:56.580 different things that could go wrong with this home in a second. I'm still adjusting all 05:56.580 --> 06:01.700 the knobs here, getting everything all straightened up. I'm going to try and keep it 06:01.700 --> 06:05.460 relatively short today because all kinds of stuff going on here at the cottage. Remember 06:05.460 --> 06:09.860 we're leaving on Friday for vacation going to Portugal and just getting there is 06:09.860 --> 06:14.340 being turning out to be quite a trip by itself. You know, we were able to get 06:14.340 --> 06:17.820 lodging. We were able to get some flights, but the flights don't actually originate 06:17.820 --> 06:23.420 from Gatwick. So I'm trying to arrange a aircraft that will support the three of us 06:23.420 --> 06:27.620 and our two large banks. I don't know if that's going to work. We might turn out 06:27.620 --> 06:33.940 just driving to the nearest airport. So as I said, lots of stuff to plan and 06:33.940 --> 06:39.380 and to get prepared for and that's all home. And it's just much to do. It's 06:39.460 --> 06:43.220 going to be very hard for me to switch off. Let me tell you 10 days. It's going to be 06:43.220 --> 06:47.300 beautiful though in the in the Algarve in Portugal. I haven't checked the weather 06:47.300 --> 06:50.020 report, but hopefully it's a little better than here in the UK. Although it's not 06:50.020 --> 06:54.100 cold. It's like 12 13 degrees. So it's nice. It's kind of grayish outside. No blue 06:54.100 --> 06:59.700 skies. No no son. No win for that matter either. But we've got a full Charlie lined 06:59.700 --> 07:03.940 up for you with some interesting things. And although I don't have a 07:03.940 --> 07:07.780 metro sexual moment keyed up for you because I'm not going to be able to do it today, 07:07.940 --> 07:12.420 I did not want to withhold this wonderful piece of feedback for you or from you. Hi, 07:12.420 --> 07:18.820 this is Carrie Anne from the class on laptop.com. And this is airdry. Airdry has a problem. 07:18.820 --> 07:23.940 I have a problem with Adam Curry. You seem to think about him a lot, airdry. I think about 07:23.940 --> 07:29.620 him a lot. And Adam, it hasn't gotten any better this week when you started talking about 07:30.500 --> 07:37.460 your never regions. You need to stop talking about those. It's driving me crazy like I can't 07:37.540 --> 07:42.980 sleep. Yeah. It's interfering with the work. It's interfering with everything, really. 07:44.500 --> 07:51.220 Thank you, Adam. Lip gloss. Lip gloss and laptop.com. There you go. It's a pretty good show. 07:53.060 --> 07:56.820 I've been trying to get them signed to the Pod Show podcast network. I don't know if 07:56.820 --> 08:00.900 we's connected yet or where we are in the process because Richard Bruer Hay takes care of all that. 08:00.900 --> 08:03.780 That's the lime. The limey fellow you might speak to on the phone. 08:04.740 --> 08:11.380 And yesterday, it started probably around 11 o'clock. I started getting messages and comments on 08:11.380 --> 08:16.500 Curry.com and all kinds of trackbacks and pingbacks and flatbacks and Apple Jax. 08:17.220 --> 08:21.940 About this show called Keith and the Girl. Keith and the Girl are a podcast that 08:23.540 --> 08:27.220 definitely have had my eye on for a while. They've been podcasting for quite a while now. I think 08:27.220 --> 08:32.820 they're close to, well, no, I know exactly. They have 247 or I guess today 2408 episodes. 08:33.380 --> 08:37.540 Never really been able to enter into a dialogue with them. Although we just kind of started an email 08:37.540 --> 08:43.860 conversation. I only have one email address forum and only got one reply and just in the past 08:43.860 --> 08:48.500 a week or so, actually. Now, before we could continue that dialogue at all, 08:49.300 --> 08:56.180 someone apparently sent them a Pod Show contract. Now, this can only be from a handful of people. 08:56.180 --> 09:00.820 So, it's not that hard to trace back. But apparently someone who decided not to sign with Pod 09:01.700 --> 09:06.500 sent a contract that was meant for them to Keith and the Girl. And Keith and the Girl 09:06.500 --> 09:11.780 did something really amazing. They read entire portions of the contract, including all the 09:11.780 --> 09:16.980 legalese on their show and commented on it. And although I was surprised that anyone would do this, 09:16.980 --> 09:24.820 I was completely blown away by the entertainment value of this. It's, I wish all my contract 09:24.820 --> 09:28.980 readings were like that where you could have just laughed at it and have fun and joke around. 09:29.940 --> 09:33.940 And you can imagine that there's all kinds of calls now in the Pottersphere and the 09:33.940 --> 09:41.780 Bloggersphere and Pod Show. What is your response to this? Well, you can imagine this was 09:43.060 --> 09:46.580 this kind of, you can imagine that this was like, whoa, what's going on here? 09:47.460 --> 09:54.500 For two at a sleeve, Michael Butler, the Rock and Roll Geek had his recording gear at Pod Show HQ 09:55.380 --> 10:04.820 when the shit hit the fan. And now for another exciting episode of the Pod Show evil contracts. 10:06.420 --> 10:10.660 Boy, I could use a beer, but it's almost midnight and I still have to get 10 more unsuspecting 10:10.660 --> 10:17.860 podcasts that's the sign of way their souls before I can go home. Oh, no. Richard, 10:17.860 --> 10:24.420 Adam and Ron once you in the chamber. In the chamber? And you better hurry up, I don't think 10:24.420 --> 10:32.260 they're in a good mood. Who is it? It's me, boss. Enter. Stay right there. Listen, Bill, 10:32.260 --> 10:38.100 get that Pod Show content on the top 10 list or you'll never release a Vista. What is it, Rosie? 10:38.100 --> 10:44.100 I have Richard for you. Richard, Ron and I have been reviewing your work and we're wondering if you 10:44.100 --> 10:50.340 are really dedicated to Pod Show. Why, boss? Well, your signings are beneath quota this month. 10:50.340 --> 10:55.060 I'm doing everything I can. We sign hundreds of shows. It's not enough. 10:55.060 --> 10:58.980 Adam's right. We need big shows. We need big stars. How about, 10:59.860 --> 11:03.620 how about, what's his name and that chick? Why am I just signed them? 11:03.620 --> 11:08.100 Boss, I think you mean Keith and the girl. We haven't signed them because they hate us. Have you heard 11:08.100 --> 11:14.660 their latest show? They spend the entire time crashing us. How could they hate us? We are Pod Show. 11:14.740 --> 11:18.580 Let me hear that show. Here, boss, put on these phones. 11:18.580 --> 11:20.740 Bist weekend. 11:26.740 --> 11:32.020 I don't know, man. I think they like us. They think we suck. They say we are evil and they say we're 11:32.020 --> 11:37.700 the devil. I don't know. I think this shows funny. Maybe they don't understand us. Anyway, 11:37.700 --> 11:42.100 I like the girl. Adam, maybe we can break them up. How about Adam and the girl? 11:42.180 --> 11:46.660 Think you'll go for it? Yeah, like the sound of that. Adam and the girl. 11:48.660 --> 11:52.340 Sounds good. I don't think that's a good idea. They hate us. 11:52.340 --> 11:55.940 H mate. They just don't understand us. Have we ever spoken with them? 11:55.940 --> 12:01.060 No, really. We've tried. Did they know any of us? No, really. They just slam the contract and slam 12:01.060 --> 12:06.260 us all the time. So, with no real reason, no real communication. They just make their own opinions 12:06.260 --> 12:11.380 and pull them out of their asses. Well, yes. And they build their audience by putting down Pod Show 12:11.380 --> 12:16.660 and other podcasts. Yes. We promote them on our site. We promote them in our shows. Yep. 12:16.660 --> 12:21.620 And for this, they stab us in the back. Yes, again. These are my kind of people. Are they 12:21.620 --> 12:26.100 former entertainment industry executives? No, they're comedians. All same difference. What do you think, 12:26.100 --> 12:29.620 Adam? Let me get this straight. They don't know us. They haven't worked with us. We promote them. 12:29.620 --> 12:34.500 They trash us. Then they think other people are dumb enough to work with us if we own everything 12:34.500 --> 12:38.340 and give them nothing. I guess so. Let's get them. If they're making a living by 12:38.340 --> 12:43.140 trashing us, the least they can do is come and talk to us. Right, Adam. Rosie. Send a limo. 12:43.140 --> 12:48.420 They're in New York. Okay. Send the jet. We don't own a jet. Okay. Call our legal department. 12:48.420 --> 12:53.140 We don't have a legal department. No, legal department. Which asshole wrote this contract? 12:53.140 --> 12:57.700 You did bust a little. Oh. Well, what's the problem? They think we sign people up for life. 12:57.700 --> 13:01.780 Own everything and don't make anyone any money. And your point is, they think we're like a 13:01.780 --> 13:06.100 record label. Well, in that case, they're idiots. I want them. Yeah. Let's get a Richard. 13:06.180 --> 13:09.940 What should I do? Bring them to San Francisco. Let's talk to him directly. They'll never come. 13:09.940 --> 13:15.700 In that case, maybe they are the devil. Maybe they want to keep podcasting for themselves. 13:15.700 --> 13:21.220 Yeah, podcasting for themselves. Maybe they're jealous of Dean and Drew. Don't entrue us. 13:21.220 --> 13:26.420 Dean, Don, whatever. Just get them. Bring us, Keith and the girl. Okay, boss. I'm on it. 13:27.380 --> 13:31.860 Ryan, Mr. Johnson, line one. Tell them to hold. Get Keith and the chicken on the line. 13:31.860 --> 13:34.580 Yeah. And Rosie? Yeah, boss. Rimshot, please. 13:37.060 --> 13:42.100 Keith, Camda, your insightful review of our business and console support are truly innovative. 13:42.980 --> 13:48.180 Adam myself and our entire family would like to invite you to come out to San Francisco. We'd 13:48.180 --> 13:53.460 like to make you an offer. You can't refuse. Richard will be in touch. Great. 13:55.300 --> 13:56.820 Hey, we're a bunch of actors, huh? 13:56.900 --> 14:04.660 Thanks to Michael, Rosie, Richard, Ron, the Pacho players. 14:05.780 --> 14:10.340 And Marc Yoshimara, an MCoff for the late night work, trying to get that all together the last minute. 14:10.340 --> 14:15.140 All right. There you go. The offer does stand, though. And it's for our nickel, no problem. 14:16.420 --> 14:20.500 You're still tuned to the Daily Source code. Greetings, Mr. Curry. To you and to all the 14:20.500 --> 14:25.700 residents of the Delta Sierra Charlie Nation. I'm very pleased to inform you that you're site, 14:25.700 --> 14:32.100 Curry.com, has been selected to be linked from the big giant button on March 29, 2006. 14:32.900 --> 14:37.300 So you're probably asking, what does this mean? Well, it means that anyone who goes to big 14:37.300 --> 14:43.460 giantbutton.com on March 29th and presses the biggest button on the internet will be sent immediately 14:43.460 --> 14:49.860 to your site. Why your site? Every day we link the big giant button to something we like. 14:49.940 --> 14:56.660 And Adam, we like you. I hope you and some of your listeners will check out big giantbutton.com. 14:56.660 --> 15:00.260 Starting March 27th, we'll be linking to a new site every single day. 15:00.980 --> 15:06.580 Visit the big giantbutton. Press it and see what happens. Take care, Adam, and keep up 15:06.580 --> 15:11.780 the great work with your podcast and with Pacho. Yeah, so I'm just realizing I'm a total 15:11.780 --> 15:16.260 torque. I should have played that one yesterday. Now I'm not getting the benefits of you going to 15:16.260 --> 15:24.980 the big giantbutton. I was going to say tap that button for me, baby. Damn. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, 15:24.980 --> 15:31.220 here pop on the way and a couple other interesting promos for you. And something that I promised 15:31.220 --> 15:36.580 you today, a brand new experiment. Hey, Adam, it's Ilya Koja of here. I want to if you're 15:36.580 --> 15:41.380 Russian listeners. I know I'm not a chick, so you won't enjoy my accent that much, but anyway, 15:42.020 --> 15:47.220 I just listened to Charlie 361. It took me three times to listen to that. He said, 15:47.220 --> 15:54.180 I know I'm not a chick, so you make a lot of listen to me. And two things popped into my mind. 15:54.180 --> 15:58.660 First of all, the golden ticket. Actually, it is possible to find it without listening to every 15:58.660 --> 16:03.620 episode. Basically, it took a pair of the file sizes. Or if you're listening to some of 16:03.620 --> 16:07.940 tech savvy, they can compare the Czech sounds. And unfortunately, and I'm defying Czech 16:07.940 --> 16:13.300 some of a DSE with a golden ticket, we'll never be the same as DSE without it. Second is 16:13.300 --> 16:18.340 more like a question about the pot to more besides you mentioned earlier. But the way I have nothing 16:18.340 --> 16:22.980 to do with it, I'm just someone who likes to question things out here. I don't know how it works, 16:22.980 --> 16:28.820 but what if instead of inserting the ad directly into the DSE file, they inserted to the playlist, 16:28.820 --> 16:35.940 you see what I mean? Just like we now, or your iTunes party shuffle, they will not modify any 16:35.940 --> 16:42.420 of the three, they just play an MP3 ad and then a podcast. Well, it will be legal. For example, 16:42.420 --> 16:47.380 if users hit a play on an empty playlist, it will still play an ad because it's already there, 16:47.380 --> 16:52.740 but fault in the application. Just some food for thoughts. Anyway, great shows and those video 16:52.740 --> 16:57.060 and yeah, yeah, those video and yeah. And I really, I played the whole comment. First, I love 16:57.060 --> 17:02.500 it when just listeners check in, you know, that's so cool. We got lots of podcasts with checking 17:02.500 --> 17:06.980 a bit listeners. I really love hearing from listeners who aren't podcasting yet or necessarily. 17:08.260 --> 17:13.700 Regarding the pod to mob, so they definitely got the, they got, they got my message at least. 17:13.700 --> 17:18.500 I sent them an email to, they did not respond to that. So not only are they're not running ads 17:18.500 --> 17:21.700 in front of my show, I've been removed from the entire directory and the show doesn't exist. 17:23.540 --> 17:28.660 And I think the debate is, it's pretty good. There's an ongoing conversation. You can 17:28.660 --> 17:33.380 catch some of that at curry.com and it's a tech and rotty probably is picked up on it by now. 17:33.940 --> 17:37.780 And I think that those guys just made an honest mistake. That's what I truly believe. 17:38.340 --> 17:42.820 Now, back to the golden ticket. So here is the concept. We have this technology we've developed 17:42.820 --> 17:48.260 called D-Gap, dynamically generated asset placement. And what this enabled, actually you've probably 17:48.260 --> 17:52.740 you've already witnessed it. If you're listening to the show, when I started recording, 17:52.740 --> 17:56.820 all I do is I say, you know, Delta shared Charlie 362 and, you know, and that's enough. 17:57.780 --> 18:02.340 But when you hear the show, you hear things like a 10-second tag, promoting our GoDaddy, 18:03.380 --> 18:08.660 one message many voices campaign, which points to this show or whatever show you're listening to. 18:08.660 --> 18:11.940 And it alerts you to the fact that there's something coming up in a code that you want to 18:11.940 --> 18:17.620 take advantage of to get some great discounts. And the cool thing about it is we have podcasters 18:17.620 --> 18:21.700 creating their own messaging for their own audiences. Okay, that's another conversation. 18:21.700 --> 18:25.700 But with this technology, we can do a whole bunch of interesting things. So the concept for the golden 18:25.780 --> 18:36.420 ticket, I mean, the golden ticket is very simple. For one of the downloads of this Charlie, 18:36.420 --> 18:41.700 of this show only, not of the archives, only for this show. And one time only, if all goes 18:41.700 --> 18:46.580 according to plan, I know Andrew Grummit is sitting there with a moist ass, hoping that all goes well 18:46.580 --> 18:50.980 because you're not been working on this. He's in all the programming and all the scheduling and 18:50.980 --> 18:55.540 all the stuff and got it all set up and we did a test yesterday and it worked. But this should be 18:55.540 --> 19:02.820 one download of this particular daily source code podcast, which will contain a special audio 19:02.820 --> 19:10.180 message with a way for the recipient of that to contact me with the special phrase, the phrase 19:10.180 --> 19:17.860 that pays everybody. And if they do contact me with the correct phrase, they will win the key 19:17.940 --> 19:25.140 span audio video dock for the iPod plus the audio video RF remote courtesy of keyspan and 19:25.140 --> 19:31.300 our very own Sam Levin who scammed that for this test. Now, this is not a contest, this is a test, 19:31.300 --> 19:36.500 it's beta, it's completely beta. So anything could happen, it could break 8 million people could win. 19:36.500 --> 19:40.820 I've only got one key span dock if it all blows up and we'll just have to call it a wash, okay? 19:41.860 --> 19:45.940 But I think it will actually work. Now, what's going to happen? I just have to pay attention to the 19:45.940 --> 19:52.020 time here. Let me see. I've got to jot down this time, hold on a second. So, 19:53.220 --> 20:01.620 19 minutes and 35 seconds into the show. If you heard nothing different than you, you didn't win. 20:02.260 --> 20:09.300 One of you's heard a special message, which is inserted in that split second at 19 minutes and 35 seconds. 20:10.260 --> 20:14.900 Those of you listening to us on a serious star's 102, sorry, this doesn't work for you, 20:14.900 --> 20:19.060 but you could still go home, download this podcast from dailysourcecode.com. 20:19.060 --> 20:23.460 Better get subscribed to it. There's all kinds of information about how you can subscribe to podcast 20:23.460 --> 20:30.500 and get them automatically. So, you still, yeah, I've once got a chance. 20:30.500 --> 20:35.300 And in fact, what could happen and this would be kind of funky is I could even download my own show 20:35.300 --> 20:39.780 and I could win the prize, which of course would mean that we have to repurpose it. So anyway, 20:39.860 --> 20:46.820 hopefully everything will go okay. And as our Russian comrade pointed out there, yes, there are many, 20:46.820 --> 20:53.540 we've taken a lot of the spoofing and scamming things into account. But yeah, in general, 20:53.540 --> 21:00.260 there's no real good way to hide the winning ticket. Of course, if it's just an open contest, 21:00.260 --> 21:04.340 if you're a registered listener, well, that would be a whole different story and that would 21:04.340 --> 21:08.980 probably work very, very well. And in the future, we can do this across multiple podcasts. 21:08.980 --> 21:12.900 And I think we can have a lot of fun with it. So tomorrow, hopefully, we'll have a winner 21:12.900 --> 21:21.300 and we'll know if our test was successful or not. Oh, hello Adam, it's Cali from Geek Briefman. 21:21.860 --> 21:28.340 I want to touch your penis. All right, just kidding, it's magic. I just had to say something to get 21:28.340 --> 21:33.620 you to play my goddamn prom, not prom or comment, because you never play my shit anymore Adams 21:33.620 --> 21:41.940 Curry and people complain, oh, fuck, never mind. Listen, I heard you're having this golden ticket 21:41.940 --> 21:49.380 contest, which I think is a phenomenal idea. So phenomenal, in fact, that I'm having a similar 21:49.380 --> 21:55.380 contest on yeast radio. Unfortunately, however, for your audience, it's already finished. 21:55.380 --> 22:02.500 But the good news is, Adams Curry, you won. I'm having a very similar contest. It's called the 22:02.980 --> 22:07.540 Golden Shower contest. And you, one, Adams Curry, and I'm going to take a piss on you. I'm 22:07.540 --> 22:20.420 going to pee on your face.

You recently expressed a wish for listeners, 22:51.780 --> 22:59.060 not just podcasters to send you audio comments. So, here you go. I'm a relatively new listener, 22:59.140 --> 23:02.340 and I've been hooked since the first show I listened to several weeks ago. 23:03.220 --> 23:09.460 Until then, I had heard about podcasts, but like many people, really didn't pay much attention to them. 23:10.660 --> 23:17.140 Then a week ago, or so, I got it in my head that an internet radio show would be a fun hobby 23:17.140 --> 23:24.500 and began researching. Well, I quickly learned that my basic idea for a show was way out of my 23:24.500 --> 23:29.540 reach due to licensing fees from me as a coasting fees, et cetera, you know, the story. 23:30.340 --> 23:36.980 So, when a friend reminded me of podcasts, I started researching and of course, your name came up all 23:36.980 --> 23:43.300 over the internet. I remembered your name from my formative years as a teenager watching MTV in the 80s. 23:43.300 --> 23:49.300 Yeah, I know, scary, isn't it? And I just had to get an aggregator and check out your show. 23:49.780 --> 23:54.260 I was hooked. I'm currently touring with the idea of doing a podcast of my own, 23:54.260 --> 23:58.900 but having a difficult time figuring out the things that I'm passionate enough about, 23:58.900 --> 24:04.420 to do a show on. So, for now, I am exploring the world of podcasts as a listener 24:04.420 --> 24:09.780 and waiting for them used to strike. I figure I should keep this short in case you decide to 24:09.780 --> 24:16.100 air this. I love the Charlie, and I look forward to many more. I have some more questions and comments 24:16.260 --> 24:23.380 to send you about podcasting and other topics mentioned on the Charlie. But I'll save those for another 24:23.380 --> 24:30.580 time. I hope you enjoyed this audio comment. You know, someone should really coin a name for these things, 24:30.580 --> 24:39.620 like, podment or audio meant audio comment. It's just mental, blah. Anyway, I look forward to 24:39.620 --> 24:44.580 sending you more. Talk for now. And bye everybody on the saddle. Bye. 24:46.580 --> 24:50.580 Those of you still with us on the podcast. Thank you very much for hanging out. Just a couple more 24:50.580 --> 24:53.780 things before we get out of here. Probably at the end of each episode, although no one was 24:53.780 --> 25:05.620 really commented on it. You've heard this, uh, this jingle. So, who is the man behind the code? 25:05.940 --> 25:11.540 Who is the illustrious cast blaster Mike? Well, it took a priest to figure it out. 25:11.540 --> 25:17.700 Cast blaster Mike needed some time alone. He needed focus and concentration for his programming. 25:17.700 --> 25:22.980 So he rented a cottage in the middle of the woods. When I, uh, has this called things to program, 25:22.980 --> 25:30.020 I usually retire to the woods and so I can fully concentrate. Finally, people would leave him alone 25:30.100 --> 25:36.260 so he could work on cast blaster. Hey, Mike. I heard you were camping out here in the neighborhood 25:36.260 --> 25:42.740 of where I live. So I thought I would say hello. So we sat down and talked and talked about Adam Curry 25:42.740 --> 25:47.300 and his own special way of podcasting. You know, when when Patricia walks in with a couple of 25:47.300 --> 25:51.940 tea, he immediately, you know, switches on a second microphone. He says, just sit down and we'll talk a 25:51.940 --> 25:57.220 little bit and improvise. He just goes to make a cup of coffee. Yeah, he just wants to see. I'm just 25:57.220 --> 26:08.100 going to walk away. I'll be back. It comes back here, like, but do you, do you find that 26:08.100 --> 26:15.700 of the way? No, no, no. It's funny. About the first idea for cast blaster. One part guess I will never 26:15.700 --> 26:25.540 forget is that he was to the BBC in London and on his way back to the cottage. He made his show 26:25.620 --> 26:34.820 in his car. In the car. Yeah. But he did that with, I think, a CD player, an MP3 recorder. I 26:34.820 --> 26:42.820 think the I River and a separate mic and all kind of wires and it wasn't mess. And really difficult. 26:42.820 --> 26:49.300 And very dangerous. Every day you scroll. Yeah. I thought, well, if he takes a laptop with him 26:49.300 --> 26:55.380 and a little program, it should be a lot easier. So I wrote what later would be called cast blaster. 26:55.540 --> 27:00.900 Within an hour I had to reply like, this is what we need. About the future of podcasting and the 27:00.900 --> 27:06.980 pot show delivery network. I listened to recently to an interview with Adam and with Ron Bloom on 27:06.980 --> 27:12.180 podcast for one while and they were talking about their overall vision. It was the very first time 27:12.180 --> 27:19.460 that I really started to grasp this whole idea of it's not just about some kind of way to commercially 27:19.460 --> 27:25.380 link podcasting to advertisers. Way bigger than that. It's creating some kind of platform 27:25.380 --> 27:30.980 that helps podcasters create an audience and gather an audience. And I'll start it out as a 27:30.980 --> 27:37.940 technical solution to a problem. And it has turned into a social thing. If you want to join us in 27:37.940 --> 27:44.100 mic's cottage and hear more, listen to the latest episodes of the Daily Breakfast at daily Breakfast.com. 27:45.060 --> 27:49.540 The illustrious father, Roderick. Yeah. So if you want to know the Genesis of cast blaster and how 27:49.540 --> 27:54.900 products like that come to life, that was a complete internet enterprise really how that worked. 27:54.900 --> 28:00.580 And it's a beautiful story. I realize the problem will contain a lot about me. But that's 28:00.580 --> 28:05.060 really the Genesis of cast blaster. It's cool to hear what cast blaster class need pop flessy. 28:06.900 --> 28:11.860 Cast blaster mic is all about. Okay, a couple things to wrap it up. First of all, sad news. Very, 28:11.940 --> 28:18.420 very sad news. One of my favorite UK podcast, although not really a UK podcast. But that I listened to, 28:18.420 --> 28:25.300 to learn about British culture was the I miss blighty podcast. It shut down, which really sucks. 28:25.300 --> 28:30.100 The host of the show works for broadcast. I can't say too much about it. Nor does he on this final 28:30.100 --> 28:38.340 episode. But the host of the show works for broadcast organization and they took issue with his podcast. 28:38.900 --> 28:43.620 And so I guess they've affected, he's shutting down before they shut him down. I believe. And I just 28:43.620 --> 28:49.300 wanted to say, I'm really going to miss you, dude, because all those little Angloisms that you would 28:49.300 --> 28:53.060 talk about, they're very helpful for me to understand the culture here. And it's funny how that 28:53.060 --> 28:57.780 works. You know, when someone is away from the country and they talk about the country, they really 28:57.780 --> 29:03.380 hit on a lot of topics that are often overlooked just in conversation in the country itself. So sad 29:03.380 --> 29:09.300 day for that. Regarding the Gmail issue that I've been having some good news there, I received a 29:10.020 --> 29:14.340 I received a Gmail from Danny, he says Google has a solution coming up for the issue. That's basically 29:14.340 --> 29:19.940 of my drive filling up completely or my space filling up on Gmail. The solutions for business 29:19.940 --> 29:24.980 users currently, I'm in a beta test with Google, whereby I modified my domain name's MX records. That's 29:25.380 --> 29:30.420 basically, I remember I told you it's so good to have a domain name. Get yours now at godaddy.com 29:30.420 --> 29:34.980 because you can change your MX records to have any email service work with your own domain name. 29:36.340 --> 29:42.980 Use code DSC one and get some kind of groovy discount. So he pointed those towards Google servers once 29:42.980 --> 29:48.820 Google verified the ownership he's now able to use the Google UI to read his own domain mail. 29:49.700 --> 29:53.140 Where of course you can have terabytes of space if you want to. Of course this only helps 29:53.140 --> 29:58.820 folks with a domain, but doesn't include support for hosted accounts such as GoDaddy. There you go. 29:58.900 --> 30:02.260 Fantastic. So I'm very happy about that because I think that is indeed 30:02.980 --> 30:08.500 the solution. I'm not quite sure how they how they index it though. I guess they have to have access to your 30:09.620 --> 30:16.260 no wait a minute. Well, I don't know. We'll find out. But because if you point your MX records somewhere else, 30:16.260 --> 30:21.300 then the files are going to the email is going to go somewhere else. Anyway, so I suppose the way it 30:21.300 --> 30:25.620 works is you get the Google user interface, which I like so much. It better have the search in there. 30:25.620 --> 30:29.700 If it doesn't have the search in it, I mean, this search-based email really, really works for me. 30:30.500 --> 30:33.300 You know, whenever I say, oh, I remember there's some email I was supposed to look at something, 30:33.300 --> 30:36.260 you know, you can enter just a couple of keywords and usually you'll find it on the first hit. 30:36.260 --> 30:42.500 Google Gmail fantastic for that. But I would like to be able to utilize my own disk space. So if that's possible, 30:42.500 --> 30:50.500 that'll be fantastic. One more here from Ellie Renner. Comment or mention that maybe you could have Uncle 30:50.500 --> 30:59.380 Jesse. Wait, did someone say Uncle Jesse? Yeah, I don't know if he died. He's coming off. He's kind of 30:59.380 --> 31:06.740 sued on. He's a Justin stuff. He's a sad-lap repair man coming after you. Sad-lap repair man, 31:06.740 --> 31:11.620 what's he gonna do? He'll fit your misconceptions and answer questions too. 31:12.020 --> 31:16.900 Nothing in the universe and he can't do for you. Sad-lap repair man. 31:18.900 --> 31:21.380 Sad-lap repair man. Yeah. 31:24.260 --> 31:29.700 So a comment or mention that maybe you could have Uncle Jesse come up with a best of show 31:29.700 --> 31:34.020 for days that you're on a way on vacation. Along lines of user-generated content. 31:34.820 --> 31:39.300 In fact, Ellie says, why not let your listeners do it. Just give us a few guidelines, 31:39.300 --> 31:43.540 length, for example. And then sit back and wait. As your talented audience cobbles together, 31:43.540 --> 31:48.580 their favorite moments from the Delta Sierra Charlie, you would still have full editorial control. 31:48.580 --> 31:53.620 But hey, sounds like a win-win to me. Well, what do I think? Ellie from, what do you 31:54.100 --> 32:03.220 did? I'm sorry. It's WTFWJD.com. Nice. I think that's an excellent idea. 32:03.220 --> 32:12.420 And we should calm the box. Best of Charlie's the box. So what would I need? Let me get the trusty 32:12.420 --> 32:17.780 blackberry here. Let me look at the calendar. Oh, I missed a call already. Okay. Shit, there was a 32:18.420 --> 32:25.140 charter plane call. Okay. Let me see. So I'm gone from the, so I need, 32:25.940 --> 32:33.460 this April right three, one, two, three, so I need five. I'd only need seven shows 32:34.020 --> 32:38.180 because although we return on the 10th, we're going to, it'll be actually the 11th before 32:38.180 --> 32:43.780 back in the cottage. Yeah. So I would need seven shows. Can we do seven shows? That will be 32:43.860 --> 32:49.060 completely awesome. Let's, you know, the best way to cut down the work for PDAB is if you can 32:49.060 --> 32:54.900 actually make him 24 minutes and 30 seconds with the best of bits. I think that would be fantastic. 32:54.900 --> 32:59.380 I can't give PDAB any more work to edit stuff together. But yeah, if you want to create a show 32:59.380 --> 33:04.020 and please don't email it to me, put it up on a server so we can grab it and then we'll give you 33:04.020 --> 33:09.060 full credit for putting the box together. That would be fantastic. I would love it. It'd be great 33:09.060 --> 33:16.420 for the satellite folks, too. So please, yes, fantastic idea. And finally, yesterday I played a promo 33:16.420 --> 33:23.940 for the Alpha Omega podcast, complete hip hop, received an email today from Otis. It says, 33:23.940 --> 33:28.580 A to the D to the A M U to Man. Thanks for the shout out. A lot of you know, I will hit you back 33:28.580 --> 33:31.860 this week and let you know what's going on.
