00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
Planting a Jamaican getaway?

00:05.000 --> 00:10.000
Flystone, our stone detendence
will see that you arrive with a
load.

00:10.000 --> 00:16.000
Stone Airlines to Jamaica fly
above the clouds and arrive with
a head full of steam when you
get there.

00:16.000 --> 00:23.000
And save money with our special
economy flights, only 29.95.

00:24.000 --> 00:26.000
John wants you to fly.

00:26.000 --> 00:33.000
In a world where TV networks,
movie studios and record labels
still think they can govern what
you see in here.

00:33.000 --> 00:42.000
One man has the power to return
control of entertainment to the
masses and make big media
corporations wet their tiny
little pants.

00:42.000 --> 00:50.000
From Pod Show, comb of the
world's most dangerous new
content comes the Daily Source
Code with Adam Curry.

00:50.000 --> 00:53.000
Delta Sierra Charlie 560.

00:53.000 --> 00:57.000
With $60 million worth of
airplane strapped my ass.

00:57.000 --> 01:00.000
And the next generation radio
content in my ears.

01:02.000 --> 01:05.000
I'd like to think I'm flying you
to the future.

01:05.000 --> 01:24.000
It's official it's free bar
Friday we are fucked up beyond
all repair.

01:24.000 --> 01:29.000
This time it's for real my
friend stay tuned to your
Charlie.

01:29.000 --> 01:31.000
My full bar star.

01:31.250 --> 05:11.250
[ Music ]

05:12.000 --> 05:17.000
Definitely a footballer favorite
Kevin Reeves throw me a line.

05:17.000 --> 05:20.000
It's exactly what I need today.

05:20.000 --> 05:26.000
I don't know how your fright is
going but mine is fucked up
beyond all repair.

05:27.000 --> 05:31.000
It's so bad.

05:31.000 --> 05:34.000
Things start off so bad today.

05:34.000 --> 05:40.000
I don't want to harsh your
mellow or anything but I almost
didn't do a show.

05:40.000 --> 05:42.000
I was like, oh man, I'm not
going to have any time now.

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
Everything's gone exactly wrong.

05:44.000 --> 05:45.000
It's all wrong.

05:45.000 --> 05:47.000
I had it also planned out.

05:47.000 --> 05:50.000
It started last night.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
Lady Patricia not feeling well.

05:52.000 --> 05:55.000
Of course you had all the news
bleed crap yesterday.

05:55.000 --> 05:56.000
And I was at the day before.

05:56.000 --> 05:59.000
I don't even remember.

05:59.000 --> 06:03.000
So she went to bed early and she
has a maybe a little bit of the
flu.

06:03.000 --> 06:06.000
It's not like it isn't going
around.

06:06.000 --> 06:10.000
And this morning she had an
appointment at 10 30 or
something or 10 40.

06:10.000 --> 06:15.000
To go back to the doctor so that
now that a lot of the nose
bleeding had stopped or had
subsided

06:15.000 --> 06:16.000
since that huge episode.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
Then the doctor could look and
see what's going on.

06:19.000 --> 06:22.000
And her nose started bleeding
again before she had to go to
the appointment.

06:22.000 --> 06:24.000
So of course I'm going to drive
her there.

06:24.000 --> 06:28.000
In case we can go to the
hospital and get this thing
closed up.

06:28.000 --> 06:31.000
It's not a very tough procedure.

06:31.000 --> 06:36.000
Well it turns out that there's
not really just one vein on the
inside of her nose.

06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
This is such a horrible
discussion.

06:38.000 --> 06:41.000
Anyway, they can't do anything
about it.

06:41.000 --> 06:46.000
But there may be some infection
that is leading her, you know,
making her nose be a little bit

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
susceptible to rawness.

06:48.000 --> 06:50.000
It's crap, right?

06:51.000 --> 06:54.000
So that's crap by itself because
I got, I'm on a tight schedule
today.

06:54.000 --> 06:57.000
Yesterday I went out and I got
myself the new mobile set up.

06:57.000 --> 07:00.000
I promised myself because you
know, I've got I've got to set
up at the condo.

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
The bakers rack and San
Francisco.

07:02.000 --> 07:05.000
I've got everything set up here
in the attic at the curry
manner.

07:05.000 --> 07:08.000
And I needed something to take
with me to New York because I'm
going to be there for a week.

07:08.000 --> 07:10.000
And, you know, I want to have
good sound.

07:10.000 --> 07:12.000
I'm sick and tired of, you know,
half-assed stuff.

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000
But I wanted something small.

07:14.000 --> 07:19.000
So, man, it's hard to find what
we really need as podcasters.

07:19.000 --> 07:20.000
It really is.

07:20.000 --> 07:22.000
I mean, I use cast blaster,
which is perfect.

07:22.000 --> 07:23.000
But then I want some processing.

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000
I want signal processing.

07:25.000 --> 07:30.000
So I can, you know, send the
whole signal mic and music, etc.

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
Through one compressor limiter.

07:32.000 --> 07:37.000
And I also need to be able to
hear what it sounds like on the
other end of the compressor
limiter.

07:37.000 --> 07:39.000
So, you know, that's a tall
order.

07:39.000 --> 07:42.000
Some beautiful barangir mixers
really, really cute.

07:42.000 --> 07:44.000
And I could take two of these
barangir mixers.

07:44.000 --> 07:48.000
I use one of the inputs, which
would send through to a device,
which I'll tell you about in a
second.

07:48.000 --> 07:52.000
And then into the second
barangir mixer, which would
basically just act as a
headphone mixer.

07:52.000 --> 07:54.000
Perfect, right?

07:54.000 --> 07:55.000
Get wrong.

07:55.000 --> 08:01.000
Because these portable mixers
come with power supplies that
will only do 240 volts.

08:01.000 --> 08:03.000
They won't do 110 volts.

08:03.000 --> 08:06.000
And, of course, it's not a big
deal because you can get a new
power adapter.

08:06.000 --> 08:07.000
Yeah.

08:07.000 --> 08:13.000
But not when you have to have
like the funky wacky five-pin
barangir power supply plug.

08:13.000 --> 08:15.000
So, that's like a non-starter.

08:15.000 --> 08:18.000
So, I went back to, I went to
Anderton.

08:18.000 --> 08:21.000
You know, the place where Roger
did is a splash in dash.

08:21.000 --> 08:25.000
And I picked up another one of
those compact four.

08:25.000 --> 08:26.000
Let me see.

08:26.000 --> 08:27.000
Hold on a second.

08:27.000 --> 08:31.000
Yeah.

08:31.000 --> 08:32.000
Sorry about that.

08:32.000 --> 08:34.000
I just had to pick it up off of
the floor.

08:34.000 --> 08:39.000
The sound craft, four channel,
because I know how this one
works.

08:39.000 --> 08:41.000
And it's bigger than I wanted.

08:41.000 --> 08:44.000
But probably if you took the two
small barangir side by side,

08:44.000 --> 08:46.000
it's probably about the same
weight and same size.

08:46.000 --> 08:48.000
And, of course, now I only need
one power supply.

08:48.000 --> 08:52.000
And I will have to get a
different one, but this has a
standard jack.

08:52.000 --> 08:57.000
And I got this, something that
was really popular apparently
about a year or two ago.

08:57.000 --> 09:07.000
It's a half rack module, which
means it's not a huge like 19
inch rack mounted thing that you
want to stick in your luggage.

09:08.000 --> 09:18.000
It's a blue max smart
compressor, really sweet stereo,
half rack size works on 220 or
120 second.

09:18.000 --> 09:20.000
Oh, please.

09:20.000 --> 09:21.000
Yeah.

09:21.000 --> 09:24.000
12240 volt AC.

09:24.000 --> 09:26.000
That's interesting.

09:26.000 --> 09:30.000
It says on the bottom, though,
factory configured for 220 volts
AC.

09:30.000 --> 09:33.000
Does that mean that I have to
change something on the inside
somehow?

09:33.000 --> 09:35.000
Oh, please don't tell me that's
true.

09:35.000 --> 09:37.000
What a pain in the ass, that'll
be.

09:37.000 --> 09:39.000
Oh, if it says 12240.

09:39.000 --> 09:40.000
Well, crap.

09:40.000 --> 09:44.000
Anyway, so pick those two items
up on up.

09:44.000 --> 09:46.000
And test it out and so
everything's working.

09:46.000 --> 09:49.000
I've got all the, you know,
bought new cables, especially.

09:49.000 --> 09:53.000
So anyway, that was to make up
time for today because I want to
do a proper food bar Friday.

09:53.000 --> 10:00.000
I also wanted to pay a couple
bills before I left, you know,
like the car company and stuff
like that.

10:00.000 --> 10:04.000
It's the only real bills that
are, everything else is
automatic, I guess.

10:04.000 --> 10:11.000
But for some reason, I can't
transfer money electronically to
the car company.

10:11.000 --> 10:18.000
And so I'm, so after I get back
with Patricia Martin hour
behind, I get picked up at 245
today.

10:18.000 --> 10:19.000
It is now one o'clock.

10:19.000 --> 10:22.000
And you know, stuff to pack my
suitcase and do all kinds of
crap.

10:22.000 --> 10:26.000
And so I, I'm, I'm a Gmail, do
my show prep is usual.

10:26.000 --> 10:29.000
You know, downloading stuff and
also looking at some other
email.

10:29.000 --> 10:32.000
And I go to reply to someone.

10:32.000 --> 10:37.000
And I get the, unfortunately,
rather familiar message, you
know, unable to send mail.

10:37.000 --> 10:42.000
This is in Gmail, unable to send
mail because you've exceeded
your quota.

10:42.000 --> 10:46.000
By the way, I should say that
Patricia's going to be okay.

10:46.000 --> 10:50.000
It's just kind of tinkering
with, with medication.

10:50.000 --> 10:51.000
I should be all right.

10:51.000 --> 10:54.000
It's not a life-threatening
situation.

10:55.000 --> 10:59.000
So, you know, I go to save the
message as a draft.

10:59.000 --> 11:04.000
Now, this is new because it
wouldn't let me save it as a
draft either because I'd
exceeded my quota.

11:04.000 --> 11:10.000
And just before this happened,
you know, Gmail, Farts and Burps
once in a while and you get to
like, oops, something happened.

11:10.000 --> 11:11.000
Error numbers.

11:11.000 --> 11:13.000
So, and so, please try again in
a couple of minutes.

11:13.000 --> 11:16.000
So, that had happened just
before this started to happen.

11:16.000 --> 11:19.000
So, I was already a little
suspicious looking around.

11:19.000 --> 11:23.000
Really, interestingly, because
obviously, my mail quota was
exceeded.

11:23.000 --> 11:28.000
You know, I'm always skating
around the 98 to 99% of my
Gmail.

11:28.000 --> 11:31.000
I was using a lot of my folders
with Splendid.

11:31.000 --> 11:35.000
And now, I have that special
four gig.

11:35.000 --> 11:39.000
A lot meant that I got through
one of our board members.

11:39.000 --> 11:41.000
It was also on the board of
Google.

11:41.000 --> 11:46.000
And I said, you know, two gigs
just saying, actually, I need
much more than four gigs.

11:46.000 --> 11:49.000
But two gigs definitely wasn't
cutting it for me.

11:49.000 --> 11:52.000
So, I needed more.

11:52.000 --> 11:54.000
I got four gigs, which was cool.

11:54.000 --> 11:58.000
And it lasted certainly about
six months, the additional two
gigs.

11:58.000 --> 12:07.000
And ever since then, I've been
skating along the 98-99%
saturation of the account.

12:07.000 --> 12:13.000
And I noticed that indicator
that's at the bottom of every
Gmail page, it says, you know,

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
it's normally it's green if
you're okay.

12:15.000 --> 12:20.000
And then it may go red if you
get to 99% and then a certain
point you're at 100%

12:20.000 --> 12:25.000
and then you have to actually go
in and delete something and
delete it forever from the
trash.

12:25.000 --> 12:26.000
And it's gone.

12:26.000 --> 12:27.000
That indicator has gone.

12:27.000 --> 12:29.000
And I see, it's like they did a
refresh.

12:29.000 --> 12:31.000
They, something was refreshed.

12:31.000 --> 12:34.000
The interface made some very,
very subtle differences.

12:34.000 --> 12:38.000
Really more in where words and
stuff were placed.

12:38.000 --> 12:41.000
But it didn't seem like a big
deal, but, you know,

12:41.000 --> 12:46.000
no matter what page I went to, I
couldn't find my quota anywhere.

12:46.000 --> 12:50.000
So then, you know, then I went
into the trash and lo and
behold,

12:50.000 --> 12:53.000
you're not going to believe what
happened.

12:53.000 --> 12:58.000
All of a sudden, I'm a 141% of
my allotment.

12:58.000 --> 13:01.000
And it even says, oh, I copied
this for you.

13:01.000 --> 13:05.000
As I emptied out the trash, no
conversations in the trash.

13:05.000 --> 13:10.000
Who needs to delete when you
have over two gigs of storage,
unlike two gigs?

13:10.000 --> 13:11.000
Wait a minute.

13:11.000 --> 13:15.000
And then I realized what's
happened.

13:15.000 --> 13:19.000
When they did some kind of
refresh at Google for Gmail,

13:19.000 --> 13:22.000
my account got rejiggered back
to a norm.

13:22.000 --> 13:24.000
I mean, it's a regular free
account, right?

13:24.000 --> 13:27.000
Only instead of two gigs I had
four gigs.

13:27.000 --> 13:29.000
Well, that just went away.

13:29.000 --> 13:31.000
And now I have two gigs instead
of four gigs.

13:31.000 --> 13:34.000
The good news is it's got all my
mail there.

13:34.000 --> 13:36.000
So it hasn't deleted anything,
but it, you know,

13:36.000 --> 13:46.000
it says I have 3,999 megabytes,
141% of my two gigallotment.

13:46.000 --> 13:48.000
Oh, no.

13:48.000 --> 13:51.000
And I've never had it, of
course, I've been at a hundred
percent,

13:51.000 --> 13:53.000
made even a hundred, 102
percent,

13:53.000 --> 13:56.000
but I've never been at a hundred
and 41 percent.

13:56.000 --> 14:00.000
And to my knowledge, when your,
when your Gmail box is that
full,

14:00.000 --> 14:02.000
email still comes in.

14:03.000 --> 14:06.000
Well, that doesn't happen when
it's at a hundred and 41
percent.

14:06.000 --> 14:10.000
I tested from a Yahoo account I
have,

14:10.000 --> 14:17.000
and it got returned as recipient
has exceeded quota permanent
failure.

14:17.000 --> 14:18.000
Oh, no.

14:18.000 --> 14:21.000
And this is bad, and because
this Gmail account,

14:21.000 --> 14:23.000
everything comes to the Gmail
account.

14:23.000 --> 14:25.000
So immediately, I think, okay,
what can I do?

14:25.000 --> 14:26.000
Because, you know, I've got no
time.

14:26.000 --> 14:29.000
I've got, I've got to fix this
problem.

14:29.000 --> 14:33.000
So, all right, so why don't I
afford all incoming mail to my
Yahoo mailbox,

14:33.000 --> 14:37.000
which was empty because I had to
reactivate that because I hadn't
used it for so long.

14:37.000 --> 14:42.000
And, well, that doesn't work
because it's just bouncing email
messages back.

14:42.000 --> 14:43.000
So it's not forwarding anything.

14:43.000 --> 14:44.000
That's how I came up.

14:44.000 --> 14:48.000
That's how I figured out that
with the 141% of your Gmail
account,

14:48.000 --> 14:51.000
you know, you're no longer
allowed to receive anything.

14:51.000 --> 14:54.000
It's not keeping it for your
Google is turning it away at the
door.

14:54.000 --> 14:56.000
So I'm like, I got to solve
this.

14:56.000 --> 14:59.000
So I opened up another Gmail
account.

14:59.000 --> 15:02.000
Thinking, well, what was I
thinking?

15:02.000 --> 15:07.000
I was thinking like, well, I
could probably pop it over.

15:07.000 --> 15:11.000
I'm like, no, wait a minute, I
got the Google apps domain
stuff.

15:11.000 --> 15:14.000
I just haven't gotten into it
because I wanted to spend some
time,

15:14.000 --> 15:15.000
take my time.

15:15.000 --> 15:18.000
Because, you know, you're
dealing with DNS stuff,

15:18.000 --> 15:22.000
and MX records, and all kinds of
crap like this.

15:22.000 --> 15:24.000
And I'm just not prepared for it
because, you know,

15:24.000 --> 15:27.000
I have family members and people
who depend on email working,

15:27.000 --> 15:31.000
and I have to set it up just
right and make sure that if
they're using pop mail,

15:31.000 --> 15:35.000
because I know a couple of the
accounts are actually accessing

15:35.000 --> 15:38.000
mail.curry.com or whatever it
is.

15:38.000 --> 15:42.000
You know, to pop the mail out of
an account there.

15:42.000 --> 15:45.000
Now, to add on top of that, I
know this is really geeky,

15:45.000 --> 15:49.000
but I know some of you do enjoy
these trials and tribulations.

15:50.000 --> 15:54.000
My email is being hosted by a
company called Runbox.

15:54.000 --> 15:57.000
And I thought Runbox was going
to be a really good idea.

15:57.000 --> 15:59.000
You know, relatively small
company.

15:59.000 --> 16:03.000
Good, good personal customer
service and support,

16:03.000 --> 16:06.000
offering plenty of space to, you
know,

16:06.000 --> 16:10.000
to manage all email coming into
like thecurry.com domain.

16:10.000 --> 16:13.000
Separate accounts, rules for,
you know,

16:13.000 --> 16:16.000
for stuff that goes to
non-existent accounts.

16:16.000 --> 16:18.000
So it's a really nice setup,
right?

16:18.000 --> 16:21.000
And anything that comes into,
because I don't pop my mail from
there.

16:21.000 --> 16:25.000
Anything that comes into Adam at
curry.com is redirected,

16:25.000 --> 16:28.000
redirected to my Gmail account.

16:28.000 --> 16:30.000
Or maybe even to podshow.com
first.

16:30.000 --> 16:34.000
I don't know, maybe directly to
my Gmail account.

16:34.000 --> 16:36.000
And they have a quota system
too,

16:36.000 --> 16:40.000
because you're allowed to
receive as much email as you can
through their system.

16:40.000 --> 16:42.000
But actually the sending of
email,

16:43.000 --> 16:45.000
the reporting or the redirecting
I'm doing,

16:45.000 --> 16:51.000
because it does save a copy for
a period of time in that runbox
email system.

16:51.000 --> 16:55.000
That's limited to, I don't know,
like 5,000 messages a day.

16:55.000 --> 17:00.000
So the spam that's not being
filtered out by runbox,

17:00.000 --> 17:05.000
which is significant, Gmail does
a great job of filtering out all
that crap.

17:05.000 --> 17:07.000
But of course, it has to be
because, you know,

17:07.000 --> 17:10.000
you got to be careful when you
are the main,

17:10.000 --> 17:12.000
you know, the mail master, if
you will,

17:12.000 --> 17:16.000
master of the mail, you got to
be careful about just throwing
shit out.

17:16.000 --> 17:18.000
And so a lot of, you know,

17:18.000 --> 17:22.000
definitely more than 5,000
messages a day are forwarded to
my Gmail account,

17:22.000 --> 17:25.000
and then they eventually wind up
in the junk folder,

17:25.000 --> 17:27.000
and then spam folder.

17:27.000 --> 17:30.000
So yeah, that's where the
curry.com problem comes from.

17:30.000 --> 17:31.000
Is this making any sense?

17:31.000 --> 17:35.000
So, you know, I know that I have
to change my MX records,

17:35.000 --> 17:39.000
which means all mail gets routed
from the runbox over to my
Google apps.

17:39.000 --> 17:43.000
My premier edition domain stuff.

17:43.000 --> 17:45.000
And I just wanted to take some
time to do it,

17:45.000 --> 17:47.000
but now I have to go into
acceleration mode.

17:47.000 --> 17:50.000
So I'm like, right, okay, on
this premier edition,

17:50.000 --> 17:53.000
I've got 10 gigs of space per
email account.

17:53.000 --> 17:56.000
So that's more than enough to
take care of this problem.

17:56.000 --> 18:02.000
Of course, you have to verify
that you are the true holder of
the domain name

18:02.000 --> 18:06.000
before you can actually use that
10 gig account.

18:07.000 --> 18:10.000
So, you know, you can either
change your MX records,

18:10.000 --> 18:12.000
which is exactly what I didn't
want to do,

18:12.000 --> 18:14.000
because I don't want to do that
in a rush.

18:14.000 --> 18:17.000
Now, they have something else
where you can verify by adding a
C name.

18:17.000 --> 18:20.000
So I did that, of course, you
know, network solution says,

18:20.000 --> 18:21.000
oh, that's fine.

18:21.000 --> 18:24.000
That's the only domain I still
have in network solutions.

18:24.000 --> 18:27.000
Everything else has been
migrated over to GoDaddy.

18:27.000 --> 18:30.000
And boy, I'm really hurt and I
wish I had this one over at
GoDaddy,

18:30.000 --> 18:33.000
but I was just so afraid of it
fucking up during the transfer

18:33.000 --> 18:36.000
and network solution sucks so
much ass with transfers

18:36.000 --> 18:38.000
that I just want to leave it
until, you know,

18:38.000 --> 18:40.000
a day when I was going to figure
all the shit out,

18:40.000 --> 18:43.000
which is now, of course, coming
upon me very quickly.

18:45.000 --> 18:49.000
Anyway, so I get the MX, the C
name record added,

18:49.000 --> 18:55.000
I'm allowed to use the 10 gig
email account.

18:55.000 --> 18:58.000
So I quickly, I set up pop.

18:58.000 --> 19:00.000
So now, as we speak,

19:00.000 --> 19:04.000
and it's a really slow process,
as we speak,

19:04.000 --> 19:09.000
I don't know how many emails I
have in my Gmail account,

19:09.000 --> 19:11.000
but, you know, four gigs worth,
no doubt about it.

19:11.000 --> 19:15.000
I had about 26, 27,000 marked as
new,

19:15.000 --> 19:19.000
or unread, which doesn't really
mean it haven't,

19:19.000 --> 19:21.000
not read them, but, you know, I
probably read them

19:21.000 --> 19:24.000
and marked them as unread to
come back to one day

19:24.000 --> 19:27.000
and then it scrolls off and you
lose that email forever.

19:27.000 --> 19:31.000
So I'm now popping over four
gigs worth of data.

19:31.000 --> 19:33.000
Yippee-kai-yay.

19:33.000 --> 19:35.000
So don't send me email.

19:35.000 --> 19:37.000
It's not going to go anywhere,
it's not going to happen,

19:37.000 --> 19:39.000
it's just not going to work.

19:39.000 --> 19:41.000
Oh, man.

19:41.000 --> 19:43.000
Ah, okay.

19:43.000 --> 19:46.000
So how's your fucking football
going, eh?

19:46.000 --> 19:50.000
I want to say congratulations to
the jersey tads,

19:50.000 --> 19:52.000
the tads and jersey.

19:52.000 --> 19:56.000
Yesterday, Robin Bella was born.

19:56.000 --> 20:01.000
I actually have an email here
from Todd.

20:01.000 --> 20:04.000
Guys, I'm like on his blackberry
sending me updates

20:04.000 --> 20:07.000
from, it was a Robin Bella was
being delivered

20:07.000 --> 20:11.000
by C-section, so they knew
exactly timing and everything.

20:11.000 --> 20:15.000
8.1 pounds, 19.5 inches.

20:15.000 --> 20:19.000
Mom and baby are great, dad
needs a nap.

20:19.000 --> 20:22.000
That's what jersey Todd sent to
me.

20:23.000 --> 20:24.000
You got dude.

20:24.000 --> 20:25.000
You need a nap.

20:25.000 --> 20:26.000
But your wife, man.

20:26.000 --> 20:28.000
She got just cut open.

20:28.000 --> 20:30.000
I really want to hear if you saw
it,

20:30.000 --> 20:32.000
because I remember when
Christina was born

20:32.000 --> 20:35.000
through C-section as well as an
awesome experience.

20:35.000 --> 20:36.000
But please, man.

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
Don't pretend like, like, you
know,

20:38.000 --> 20:40.000
it was a lot of work for you.

20:40.000 --> 20:42.000
30 seconds tops.

20:42.000 --> 20:44.000
Comic strip.

20:44.000 --> 20:46.000
Comic strip.

20:46.000 --> 20:47.000
Comic strip.

20:47.000 --> 20:49.000
Comic strip.

20:49.000 --> 20:50.000
Comic strip.

20:50.000 --> 20:51.000
Comic strip.

20:51.000 --> 20:53.000
Comic strip.

20:53.000 --> 20:54.000
Comic strip.

20:54.000 --> 20:55.000
Knock, knock.

20:55.000 --> 20:56.000
Adam, carry.

20:56.000 --> 20:57.000
Are you there?

20:57.000 --> 20:58.000
I'm here.

20:58.000 --> 21:00.000
Stop fiddling with this fucking
knock.

21:00.000 --> 21:03.000
You're tablet for a fact's sake.

21:03.000 --> 21:06.000
Here is your European Union
correspondent.

21:06.000 --> 21:10.000
I just wanted to say that there
is only two things

21:10.000 --> 21:12.000
I hate in this world.

21:12.000 --> 21:17.000
People who are intolerant of
other people's cultures.

21:17.000 --> 21:19.000
And the Dutch.

21:19.000 --> 21:20.000
Adam.

21:20.000 --> 21:26.000
Can you imagine that while
majority of European Union has
already opened

21:26.000 --> 21:32.000
their labor markets, the fucking
Dutch despite promises,

21:32.000 --> 21:37.000
have not opened theirs on
January the 1st, 2007,

21:37.000 --> 21:41.000
so it will not happen on March
the 1st, 2007,

21:41.000 --> 21:44.000
as the latest promise was
saying.

21:44.000 --> 21:46.000
So let me tell it again.

21:46.000 --> 21:48.000
Fuck you, Netherlands.

21:48.000 --> 21:53.000
I, and 80 million European
citizens who are affected

21:53.000 --> 21:57.000
will remember this Dutch
disgrace, Dutch disgrace,

21:57.000 --> 21:59.000
for fucking ever.

21:59.000 --> 22:01.000
Oh, those Dutch bastards.

22:01.000 --> 22:03.000
They killed Kenny.

22:03.000 --> 22:05.000
They killed who?

22:06.000 --> 22:08.000
I was like, did he say they
killed Kennedy?

22:08.000 --> 22:09.000
I didn't hear that.

22:09.000 --> 22:11.000
For fucking ever.

22:11.000 --> 22:13.000
Those Dutch bastards.

22:13.000 --> 22:15.000
They killed Kenny.

22:15.000 --> 22:16.000
Yo.

22:16.000 --> 22:18.000
I have no idea who they killed.

22:18.000 --> 22:21.000
There is some weird shit going
on in Holland.

22:21.000 --> 22:26.000
I have to say they, they finally
now have a cabinet.

22:26.000 --> 22:30.000
There were some problems putting
a coalition together after the
most recent elections.

22:31.000 --> 22:36.000
And what's interesting is that
two cabinet members have dual
citizenship.

22:36.000 --> 22:40.000
And the opposing party parties,
I should say,

22:40.000 --> 22:45.000
are saying, hey, you know,
there's a real issue here
because who's loyalty

22:45.000 --> 22:49.000
to who are these two cabinet
members who have dual
citizenship?

22:49.000 --> 22:51.000
I think one is from Turkey, one
is from Morocco.

22:51.000 --> 22:53.000
So they have Dutch passports and
one is a Turkish,

22:53.000 --> 22:55.000
one is a Moroccan passport.

22:55.000 --> 22:59.000
By the way, Islamic countries,
it to some degree.

22:59.000 --> 23:04.000
So their loyalty was being
questioned.

23:04.000 --> 23:09.000
And it's interesting because
this really did spark off a lot
of media attention

23:09.000 --> 23:14.000
about this particular question
of loyalty based upon your dual
citizenship.

23:14.000 --> 23:18.000
And I got asked by a pretty
serious publication.

23:18.000 --> 23:20.000
How do you feel about this?

23:20.000 --> 23:22.000
And I said, well, look, everyone
thinks I'm Dutch,

23:22.000 --> 23:24.000
but I was born American.

23:24.000 --> 23:25.000
I've always had an American
passport.

23:25.000 --> 23:28.000
I have never requested the Dutch
nationality.

23:28.000 --> 23:33.000
Nor do I desire to give up my
U.S. nationality for any reason
whatsoever.

23:33.000 --> 23:38.000
And, you know, and I said, but,
you know, when I was there,

23:38.000 --> 23:42.000
I was loyal to the country, when
I was there.

23:42.000 --> 23:45.000
So yeah, there's a lot of weird
shit going on with them.

23:45.000 --> 23:46.000
That's for sure.

23:46.000 --> 23:49.000
And you know something's really
interesting with podcasting

23:49.000 --> 23:53.000
when the people who call in are
engineers and they all have
their own jingles.

23:53.000 --> 24:00.000
So I think program at your
command is the prolific program
program.

24:00.000 --> 24:02.000
I had them prove that program is
here.

24:02.000 --> 24:08.000
I just landed in, you know, and
therefore I won't be back in San
Francisco tonight.

24:08.000 --> 24:09.000
I'm Friday.

24:09.000 --> 24:12.000
I was just about to ask you at
that point over the weekend.

24:12.000 --> 24:16.000
And probably just call you in
the comments and say,

24:16.000 --> 24:19.000
hey, good job prolific
programmer.

24:19.000 --> 24:20.000
I could actually understand you.

24:20.000 --> 24:22.000
And you didn't stutter and
stammer.

24:22.000 --> 24:23.000
That was great.

24:23.000 --> 24:26.000
Too bad you're leaving New York
because I'm about to go to New
York.

24:26.000 --> 24:30.000
Where I will visit the serious
satellite studios in New York.

24:30.000 --> 24:34.000
That's what you're listening to
if you're on the satellite right
now.

24:34.000 --> 24:35.000
Okay.

24:35.000 --> 24:39.000
So that I have no no time to get
into all the stuff I'd planned
today.

24:39.000 --> 24:40.000
There was one thing.

24:40.000 --> 24:44.000
I want to set it up because I
want to get back to this on
Monday.

24:44.000 --> 24:48.000
It's not often that I know that
I'm going to talk about this on
a different day.

24:49.000 --> 24:52.000
Last night on Channel 4, which
had been advertised.

24:52.000 --> 24:56.000
I'd seen it the promo is on TV
for at least a week.

24:56.000 --> 25:03.000
There was an awesome, awesome
documentary called The Great
Global Warming Swindle.

25:03.000 --> 25:06.000
Of course, you know, that really
caught my eye.

25:06.000 --> 25:12.000
Being a child of the 70s, the
great rock and roll swindle from
the sex pistols, of course,
fabulous.

25:12.000 --> 25:15.000
So the great global warming
swindle.

25:15.000 --> 25:21.000
It's rather long, but it's
really important that you try
and see this if you can.

25:21.000 --> 25:26.000
I have no idea if it's going to
be aired in the United States or
any other countries.

25:26.000 --> 25:32.000
If I had the time, I'm telling
you, I would get a copy and put
this up on YouTube.

25:32.000 --> 25:36.000
I think it's that important, not
necessarily because I'm saying
that it's right,

25:36.000 --> 25:41.000
but because I had never heard
the supposing view of global
warming.

25:41.000 --> 25:45.000
And so they do have a website,
which I will put in the show
notes.

25:45.000 --> 25:49.000
And actually, there's a, here,
let's do this.

25:49.000 --> 25:53.000
Before I read pieces of the
website, they have a trailer.

25:53.000 --> 25:56.000
So let me see if I can do this
and be fire this up.

25:56.000 --> 26:03.000
Of course, this will take a few
seconds because their trailer is
an embedded windows media file.

26:03.000 --> 26:06.000
And I don't know about you, but
in Firefox, at least.

26:06.000 --> 26:11.000
Whenever I use a windows media
player embedded video, it kind
of like freezes everything up.

26:11.000 --> 26:14.000
I told you yesterday that I
don't like what windows media
player does.

26:14.000 --> 26:19.000
When it has to think about
something, particular talking to
the network, it gets all funky.

26:19.000 --> 26:21.000
Okay, we're probably going to
hear an ad first.

26:21.000 --> 26:25.000
Let me see. This is from
Channel4.com.

26:25.000 --> 26:31.000
Some say that the time for
debate is over, that mankind
must face up to its
responsibility for climate
change.

26:31.000 --> 26:35.000
Now meet the experts who believe
science tells a very different
story.

26:35.000 --> 26:38.000
And people say we don't believe
in global warming. I say, no, I
don't believe in global warming.

26:38.000 --> 26:41.000
I don't believe that humans, you
know, who is pausing that
warming.

26:41.000 --> 26:45.000
You can't say that CO2 will
drive climate. It's certainly
never did in the past.

26:45.000 --> 26:51.000
If you are skeptical about the
litany around climate change,
you're suddenly like you're a
Holocaust denier.

26:51.000 --> 26:56.000
The global warming is dressed up
as science, but it's not
science.

26:56.000 --> 27:00.000
The most controversial and
thought-provoking science film
you'll see this year,

27:00.000 --> 27:03.000
examines the role nature is
playing in global warming.

27:03.000 --> 27:05.000
They're just being told lies.

27:05.000 --> 27:09.000
The Great Global Warming
Swindle, Thursday 9 on 4.

27:09.000 --> 27:12.000
Now if you saw, by the way, we
didn't get the ad. That was kind
of cool.

27:12.000 --> 27:16.000
Because when I watched it, when
I previewed it before the show,
I did get the ad.

27:16.000 --> 27:19.000
So, that was smart. Thanks,
guys.

27:19.000 --> 27:27.000
If you have seen El Gore's
movie, an inconvenient truth,
then you have to see this movie
to balance out your opinion.

27:27.000 --> 27:33.000
Let me just read from the site,
and then I'll try and
editorialize to make it a little
more clear.

27:33.000 --> 27:38.000
The Great Global Warming
Swindle, the film brings
together the arguments of
leading scientists

27:38.000 --> 27:44.000
who disagree with the prevailing
consensus that carbon dioxide
released by human industrial
activity

27:44.000 --> 27:47.000
is the cause of rising global
temperatures today.

27:47.000 --> 27:49.000
That's a catchy one, isn't it?

27:49.000 --> 27:54.000
That Earth's climate is changing
and always has is not disputed
by anyone.

27:54.000 --> 27:58.000
That is, that it is warming now
is also not disputed by anyone.

27:58.000 --> 28:03.000
But some people think that the
warming is our fault whilst
others believe we have nothing
to do with it.

28:03.000 --> 28:06.000
That really is true. This is
what this film is about.

28:06.000 --> 28:14.000
It's the difference, and there's
some very, very compelling
evidence that does not say or
that refutes the claim

28:14.000 --> 28:21.000
that CO2 emissions created by
man are creating global warming.

28:21.000 --> 28:29.000
In fact, quite the opposite
according to the proof is that
global warming, although it does
take place over thousands of
years

28:29.000 --> 28:31.000
and they have some interesting
graphs to look at.

28:31.000 --> 28:39.000
It has been much, much colder
and much, much warmer in the
past 10,000 years than now.

28:39.000 --> 28:48.000
So when the Earth warms up CO2
actually follows and they have
some theories about that,

28:48.000 --> 28:51.000
or not just theories, but I
guess all sciences in a way
theory.

28:51.000 --> 28:54.000
Look, I'm not a scientist, but I
was compelled by this movie.

28:54.000 --> 29:00.000
The film argues that rises in
atmospheric carbon dioxide have
nothing to do with climate
change.

29:00.000 --> 29:07.000
Further, the present
single-minded focus on reducing
carbon emissions may have the
unintended consequence of

29:07.000 --> 29:12.000
stifling development in the
third world, prolonging endemic
poverty and disease.

29:12.000 --> 29:17.000
Recent research presented in
this film apparently shows that
the effect of cosmic radiation

29:17.000 --> 29:24.000
and solar activity may explain
fluctuations in global
temperatures more precisely than
the carbon dioxide theory.

29:24.000 --> 29:31.000
And when you see this, and you
will be blown away, not just by
the evidence presented,

29:31.000 --> 29:38.000
and of course, it's all in
interpretation of numbers and
data, but it's fascinating.

29:38.000 --> 29:47.000
So again, literally, the core
difference here is that in this
film, the theory is explained.

29:47.000 --> 29:54.000
And it's shown in data that
carbon dioxide levels increase
following the warming of the
Earth.

29:54.000 --> 29:58.000
It's not that carbon dioxide
increases and then the Earth
starts to warm up.

29:58.000 --> 30:05.000
And they have historical data
going back quite a long time,
almost as far back as I am old.

30:05.000 --> 30:11.000
And what's interesting about it
is they go into the political
aspects of it.

30:11.000 --> 30:14.000
I'm already really talking about
this, but it's really on my
mind.

30:14.000 --> 30:18.000
This is what the shit I wanted
to talk about today.

30:18.000 --> 30:24.000
In the 70s, and they're blaming
it on Margaret Thatcher, which
is a fun thing to do.

30:24.000 --> 30:26.000
You can always blame everything
on Margaret Thatcher.

30:26.000 --> 30:32.000
Of course, we had an energy
crisis with the OPEC countries
in the 70s.

30:32.000 --> 30:36.000
So Margaret Thatcher, of course,
hated foreign oil.

30:36.000 --> 30:40.000
She hated the coal miners
because they were a big pain in
her ass, at least, at the time.

30:40.000 --> 30:45.000
So she didn't want carbon
emission based fuel, whatever.

30:45.000 --> 30:48.000
And she was a big proponent of
nuclear.

30:48.000 --> 30:58.000
And through the campaigning that
Margaret Thatcher did, more or
less a meme was built that
carbon dioxide is bad.

30:58.000 --> 31:01.000
And by the way, we're all made
of carbon dioxide.

31:01.000 --> 31:06.000
I'm like 98% carbon dioxide,
which includes water.

31:06.000 --> 31:08.000
It's not like a bad thing.

31:08.000 --> 31:09.000
It's not like a poison.

31:09.000 --> 31:14.000
Carbon dioxide is what makes
things grow.

31:14.000 --> 31:26.000
But that kind of got turned
around and twisted into this
idea that carbon dioxide is
essentially causing global
warming.

31:26.000 --> 31:28.000
And they take it once a further.

31:28.000 --> 31:33.000
The founder of Greenpeace, who
was left Greenpeace since, he
had a lot of interesting things
to say.

31:33.000 --> 31:38.000
He said, look, it's not even
about the global climate
anymore.

31:38.000 --> 31:45.000
It's being used as an excuse for
anti-globalization and
anti-capitalism, in fact.

31:45.000 --> 31:53.000
And that no politician today
could have any type of platform
without including greenness.

31:53.000 --> 32:06.000
And when you look at the data
that's presented in this film,
particularly that of all carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere and
the troposphere,

32:06.000 --> 32:11.000
the whole carbon dioxide, only
about 1% is man-made.

32:11.000 --> 32:14.000
1%.

32:14.000 --> 32:18.000
So, you know, there's so much
new data in here that my head is
just spinning.

32:18.000 --> 32:24.000
So I'll put the link in the show
notes prominently so you can
find it because there's a lot of
information on the site.

32:24.000 --> 32:31.000
I don't think, I mean, are they
going to, let's see if they're
going to replay it now.

32:31.000 --> 32:36.000
Oh, that's too bad. Oh, what's
this? Play, what is this?

32:36.000 --> 32:41.000
Oh, that's play fantasy
football. Why don't they just,
this is a great, they should put
this on YouTube.

32:41.000 --> 32:43.000
That's so, it's so good to see
this.

32:43.000 --> 32:49.000
So, of course, you know, you
take that a little bit further
and then, you know, it's very
unpopular.

32:49.000 --> 32:54.000
You know, you can't just stand
up. It's like when I say, hey,
hold on a second with your net
neutrality.

32:54.000 --> 32:57.000
You know, there's a lot going on
in networks. It's kind of the
same thing.

32:58.000 --> 33:03.000
You know, people stand up and
say, well, you know, this global
warming thing is full of shit.

33:03.000 --> 33:17.000
And the zeitgeist is already so
embedded in our minds that
we're, you know, we immediately
assume that someone who stands
up and says that is a part of,
you know, big oil or, I'm sorry.

33:17.000 --> 33:22.000
Yeah, big oil or or different
industries or the man or
whatever.

33:22.000 --> 33:28.000
And really, there's enough
evidence that, you know, you
just might want to reconsider
your opinion. It's really,
really, really fascinating.

33:28.000 --> 33:36.000
And I'm going to study as much
as I can about this about this
theory and I'm really happy the
channel for air that it just
blew me away.

33:36.000 --> 33:40.000
It's too bad Patricia couldn't
see because she was already in
bed.

33:40.000 --> 33:47.000
Okay, and so then at the end of
the day, what the documentary,
it's a film, but I think it was
more documentary.

33:47.000 --> 33:59.000
What it, you know, what they
hypothesize or what they go
against that out to prove is
that because there are such a
movement that Africa is now
being told, hey, you shouldn't
be using your oil or your coal
or other resources.

33:59.000 --> 34:09.000
You should be looking at, you
know, if you want to develop,
you should be looking at solar
and wind energy and add like the
African guys are like the
fucking I'm going to do with the
solar panel.

34:09.000 --> 34:15.000
He'd up a transistor radio. I
need to, you know, I need to be
bacon steel here. We're not
going to do that with solar
panels.

34:15.000 --> 34:29.000
And look, please, if it's, if
you can find this anywhere or if
anyone knows where there's a
copy available uploaded to
Podshow, go ahead, put it, you
can do it as an embeddable.

34:29.000 --> 34:36.000
If we get to take down notice,
we'll, we'll take it down, but
you really have to see that it's
that important. It really,
really is.

34:36.000 --> 34:47.000
Whew, okay. So flying to New
York today, but of course, we
can't really have a complete
full foobar without at least
some word from the garden state,
from the Jersey.

34:47.000 --> 35:13.000
Hey, how are you doing? Okay, I
guess you have to be from Jersey
to sound right saying that,
right?

35:13.000 --> 35:20.000
I'm Brian from audio attitude,
not in Jersey, but in Michigan's
UP, as it happened just a few
miles from Jeremy Roe.

35:20.000 --> 35:29.000
When you hear Jeremy Roe play
that, Fubar, Friday, Jersey Todd
theme, Jersey Todd, the official
musicologist of the Charlie
plays a song from a great pod
save artist.

35:29.000 --> 35:37.000
But not today, Adam, as you
know, Jersey Todd is a bit too
fubard to join us today, but he
did send a quick update.

35:37.000 --> 35:49.000
Hey, it's time we're welcoming
into the world, Robin, and
Bella. He pounds one ounce,
nineteen and a half inches,
she's very pink and very mellow
and very calm.

35:49.000 --> 35:51.000
I'll talk to you later. Bye bye.

35:51.000 --> 35:57.000
So I've been on some kind of a
pod sabbatical thing, and Todd,
the other day told me to get
busy and do something useful.

35:57.000 --> 36:01.000
I said, why not fill in for
Fubar Friday? Make sure you play
something, Adam's going to like.

36:01.000 --> 36:07.000
Okay. Well, you got it, JT.
Adam, today we're going to
welcome a brand new very special
talent to the PMM.

36:07.000 --> 36:17.000
There's a good chance that
everybody listening has heard
his work. He's a music producer,
songwriter composer, recording
engineer, music performer, and
even a Grammy nominee.

36:17.000 --> 36:35.000
He's also from Jersey, and back
in the Jersey days, he's now in
Vegas. He had a studio in
Mercerville, the cater declines
like Bruce Foster, Skip
Scarborough, instant funk,
springsteens band, the
smithereens, Bon Jovi Gettars,
Richie Simbora and Billy Joel,
Paul Shea for Richard Marx.

36:35.000 --> 36:42.000
I mean, the list goes on, but
when he was just starting out,
this was like roughly 79. He had
a little bit of time on his
hands in between the sessions.

36:42.000 --> 36:52.000
And so Tommy Merolda began
making his own music, one analog
track at a time, vocals drums
guitar. He called this one man
band The Tom's.

36:52.000 --> 37:01.000
Now, Billbora Magazine called
the independent album that he
released back in 1979, the best
power pop album of the decade,
and it's a hot collector's item
today.

37:01.000 --> 37:08.000
Now, while he's put out a lot
more music by the times, as well
as his other band, the
horizontal ladies club, kind of
that name.

37:08.000 --> 37:14.000
Most of his time has been spent
producing performing songwriting
with musicians, like 50 albums
worth.

37:14.000 --> 37:26.000
You know, share, both of Richie
Simbora's LPs, but it was his
Grammy nomination for best album
of original score written for a
motion picture for his work on
the movie Stan alive,

37:26.000 --> 37:38.000
that brought his music talent to
a lot of movies, like, oh, days
of thunder, carmen, once in the
life, and this most recent Rocky
Belboa picture, also the
upcoming Evan Almidey, the
sequel to Bruce Almidey.

37:38.000 --> 37:44.000
So, okay, so you're thinking,
okay great, the guy's talented,
he's got lots of talent, he's
done stuff, okay, what's the big
deal?

37:44.000 --> 37:47.000
Because he totally gets the
independent artist.

37:47.000 --> 37:55.000
He's part of this new media
revolution where independent
artists are starting to blossom
all over the place, and he's
focused on Las Vegas because
that's where he's located now,

37:55.000 --> 37:58.000
and he's mentoring a lot of
independent artists.

37:58.000 --> 38:11.000
Like, for example, Junior
Anthie, Sex League, Fletch, AMV,
randomized, and he brought music
by Las Vegas rapper D John and
the killers in on the Rocky
Belboa picture and featured
their music.

38:11.000 --> 38:18.000
So, you're going to hear a lot
more of him and probably a lot
more indie music coming out of
that Vegas area, because it's
heating up.

38:19.000 --> 38:25.000
And he also has somehow figured
out time to put together a new
Tom's album, and that's coming
out shortly.

38:25.000 --> 38:29.000
He wants the lettuce, have a
taste of it, and so that's what
we're playing today.

38:29.000 --> 38:30.000
Thank you, Jersey Todd.

38:30.000 --> 38:31.000
Thank you, Adam.

38:31.000 --> 38:32.000
Have a safe trip to New York.

38:32.000 --> 38:34.000
Happy food bar Friday,
everybody.

38:34.000 --> 38:35.000
Here's Tommy Marolda.

38:35.000 --> 38:39.000
The Tom's with adventurous kind.

38:41.250 --> 41:37.080
[ Music ]

41:37.080 --> 41:54.320
You sing a bit of a song of
Gooni B-Wid, Knee Bassie,

41:54.320 --> 42:00.800
Thank you so much for filling in
for the Toddster amazing. What a
factory over there in Jersey

42:09.840 --> 42:12.400
All right, so definitely a food
bar Friday

42:12.960 --> 42:16.320
So a kind of a food bar last
thought then just you know going
back to

42:17.280 --> 42:22.960
Thinking about how we indeed
mind of convinced ourselves of
this global warming thing

42:24.400 --> 42:27.600
This global warming crisis and
it may not be true at all

42:28.400 --> 42:34.160
Yet four billion dollars a year
of government money is spent on
research on global warming each
year in the United States alone

42:34.160 --> 42:39.760
So I think we have to look at
this as uh, perhaps possibly a
classic example of

42:40.960 --> 42:46.400
The game of telephone and I
think it was Thanksgiving that I
played in this last and it had
been quite a while before then

42:46.720 --> 42:53.840
But even grown up adults sitting
right next to each other can't
reliably pass off information
from one to next because by the
time the original message

42:53.920 --> 42:55.840
Comes back round full circle

42:56.560 --> 43:00.240
Obviously it says something
completely different and it
could be quite the opposite

43:00.480 --> 43:04.000
Particularly if prompted by
administration such as out of
that sure so

43:04.880 --> 43:07.840
Try and see that if you will and
that will be my final thought of
the week

43:15.040 --> 43:18.080
Okay, daily source code calm
that is working. Thank goodness

43:18.240 --> 43:22.240
So that's where you can find the
show notes for today's episode
and hopefully by well

43:22.320 --> 43:24.320
I can I just check during the
song

43:24.320 --> 43:29.680
Gmail likes to update once an
hour on pop and it brings in 200
messages at a time so sometime

43:31.120 --> 43:35.120
In May you'll be able to email
me again. My everybody football

43:35.600 --> 43:39.120
Another pod show podcast stick
it in your ear
