Oh, say can you see by the
dawn's early light, what so
proudly we hailed at the
twilight's

00:18.220 --> 00:30.220
last gleaming, whose broad
stripes and bright stars through
the perilous fight,

00:30.220 --> 00:46.420
for the ramparts we watched were
so gallantly streaming, and the
rocket's red glare, the bombs

00:47.420 --> 01:12.420
through the night that our flag
was still there, O say does that
star-spangled banner yet wave?

01:12.420 --> 01:32.420
For the land of the free, and
the home of the brave.

Hey there, Adam, this is Wilson
Bradley from Knoxville.

01:36.420 --> 01:41.420
On a DSC-628 with 4th of July
right around the corner, thought
it might be a good time to

01:41.420 --> 01:46.420
share with your listeners to be
careful with fireworks, and most
of all don't stick them down

01:46.420 --> 01:47.420

Roland Bubba Jenkins, who went
on to see our Lord after a
strange

01:54.420 --> 02:02.420
course of events, involved in a
dill pickle, an M80, and a pair
of boxer shorts soaked in
moonshine.

02:02.420 --> 02:12.420
And as with most redneck
fatalities, it has all started
with those three words, hey
watch this.

of the United States of America,

you?

America, for your strength, for
pride, for our freedom.

Surrey known as Gilford in the
in the curry manner, I do want
to wish everyone a very happy

11:15.260 --> 11:20.380
fourth of July. I'm feeling
extremely patriotic today. In
fact, it's been a really weird

11:20.380 --> 11:28.700
week because on Friday speaking
of patriotism, I received my
official permanent visa to live

11:28.700 --> 11:34.380
and work in the United Kingdom.
And of course, I am extremely
grateful to the home office and

11:34.380 --> 11:40.060
to the Queen and all the rules
and regulations that allow me to
do that because it is good

11:40.060 --> 11:45.980
to be living in the motherland
where we initially came from.
But you may be kind of second

11:45.980 --> 11:49.820
by the show I have lined up for
you. And then again, there may
be a few surprises in there.
It's

11:49.820 --> 11:54.780
going to be a bit music heavy.
Of course, a pod save music
lined up like you heard from
Justa,

11:54.780 --> 12:02.060
who is from the UK, actually.
Interestingly enough, I had a
quick consultation with the

12:02.940 --> 12:06.700
Board of Directors of the
Organization for the
Preservation to the soundtrack
of our lives,

12:06.700 --> 12:13.260

we don't have a website up yet.
And they agree that there are

12:13.260 --> 12:19.100
some exemptions to what you can
do in independently, produce
stuff on independence day,

12:19.100 --> 12:26.380
on July 4th, and in your podcast
because there are many, many
backyard barbequees. I'm talking

12:26.460 --> 12:32.700
about huge ones with 50 to 100,
maybe even 200 hundreds of
people, people gathering at
picnics,

12:32.700 --> 12:37.980

States, citizens all over the

12:37.980 --> 12:50.700
together and enjoying
hamburgers, hot dogs, gains,
fireworks, and yes, music. But
the RIA, as evil

12:50.700 --> 12:55.260
as they really appear to be,
they don't go around to all
these picnics and barbequees.

They don't go around levying
fees on the 4th of July, even
though they technically can,

for a large audience. No,
because you don't do those
things.

13:06.140 --> 13:14.940
That would be why gosh, that
would be un-American. So today,
please join me on a very large
picnic,

13:14.940 --> 13:22.060
known as The Charly, and I got
songs for you. Songs that will
make you feel proud to be an
American.

the chairman of the board, New

nicely. In the house I live in,
that's America to me, damn
straight.

16:25.180 --> 16:30.620
You know, there's so many
similarities and differences,
and I think what I want to do
today

16:30.620 --> 16:35.580
on the show is really just
trying to explain how I feel as
an American, how I think many
Americans

16:35.580 --> 16:40.380
feel, and what is America
really? It's a very, very, very
young country, you've only been
around

16:40.380 --> 16:47.740
for a bit over 200 years. You
know, that's only four of my
current lifetimes. You know,

16:47.740 --> 16:52.140
well, a little bit more than
that. So, call it five because
you should. That's nothing. That
is

16:52.140 --> 16:57.340
nothing. I can trace that back
in my family history. I can look
at a family tree and see that in

16:57.340 --> 17:03.740
in one glance. And what do we
consist of? We consist of you
guys. We consist of Europeans.

17:04.940 --> 17:09.660
Initially, of course, that's how
I trace my bloodlines. They go
back to Scotland

17:09.740 --> 17:15.580
through Kansas, to Scotland, of
all, of all connections. And
yes, I am less than five degrees

17:15.580 --> 17:26.460
separated from Kevin Bacon as
well. But something, uh, boy,
somewhere, something went wrong.

17:27.180 --> 17:34.380
And it, you know, really, it's
all about, it's really about PR.
You know, we have our
presidents,

17:34.460 --> 17:39.980
are really the, first of all,
they're the leaders of our
country, which in essence is a
corporation.

17:39.980 --> 17:45.180
And we all contribute to the
corporation. And we love the way
the corporation works in
general.

17:45.180 --> 17:49.020
And there's always fucked up
stuff with corporations. We're
really a massive giant Google.

17:49.020 --> 17:54.380
We don't really want to do any
evil. We don't want to be evil.
But because of our sides and
because

17:54.380 --> 17:58.860
of all the differences and all
the different officers and board
members and everything that's

17:58.860 --> 18:05.340
in their shit happens. And so
we're far from perfect. We don't
call the president of the

18:05.340 --> 18:11.500
United States the chief
executive officer for nothing,
the CEO. Now CEOs are really
important.

18:11.500 --> 18:18.380
Look at Steve Jobs, a fantastic
CEO for Apple. I mean, the think
of, if Apple really feels more

18:18.380 --> 18:24.060
American to me than anything,
that's strange as it may seem to
draw that analogy. But really,

18:24.220 --> 18:30.540
some great stuff, people who
work hard are dedicated a little
bit too secretive for, you know,

18:30.540 --> 18:38.060
for my personal taste. But, and
look at George Bush, he sucks.
He's, as a PR guy, you know,

18:38.060 --> 18:43.500
he's on, he's awful. He gives
horrible demo. You know, his
demos are always crashing.

18:44.540 --> 18:49.020
He just doesn't know how to
communicate. But there have been
lots of people throughout the

18:49.100 --> 18:54.220
history of the United States who
have really done an excellent
job at communicating what we
really

18:54.220 --> 19:01.020
are. And we're different. We are
different. We are, we are brash.
We are loud. We have much less

19:01.020 --> 19:06.300
of sense of style and taste. But
because we've been developing
our own, we're like a fricking

19:06.300 --> 19:11.020
teenager of the world. And right
now, you know, we're past the
teenage years. We're no longer

19:11.020 --> 19:16.460
that cute and we're maturing.
And we've got to think about
settling down a little bit. But
still

19:16.540 --> 19:21.500
inside us, inside the American
spirit burns of fire. And
there's no such thing as a

19:21.500 --> 19:30.700
true pure American. We're an
immigrant country. We exist of
other countries. So it's, it's a
collection

19:30.700 --> 19:39.820
of like-minded people. Yeah,
we're kind of like a team, kind
of like team America. Oh, we
love

19:39.900 --> 19:47.180

know if you've ever seen the
movie. Team America. But it is,

19:47.180 --> 19:54.060

online. It does also display

19:55.180 --> 20:00.620

laugh, but there really is some

terrorists, I would say, here in

22:59.700 --> 23:05.780
frickin' car on fire into a
terminal building through a
glass and steel wall with

23:05.860 --> 23:09.900

they can't, and nothing happens.

catches on fire and the police

did you follow?

this before, man, they're a
vigilant bunch.

we live through the frickin'

In fact, he comes to helicopter
now to pick me up, I think.

23:35.860 --> 23:40.860
So, we had discussed this at Pod
Show HQ, and we decided that it
would be, at least,

23:40.860 --> 23:45.140
the correct gesture to say, you
know, if anyone doesn't feel
safe coming to the office

23:45.140 --> 23:50.260
because we are in, you know, in
London, pretty much in a very
near where everything's

23:50.260 --> 23:57.580
taking place, except for, of
course, Glasgow, but we had a
bomb loaded car or a propane
tank

23:57.580 --> 24:04.380
filled car outside of a
nightclub, and we decided to let
the staff at the crash pad

24:04.420 --> 24:09.140
know that, hey, you know, if you
want to work from home, it's
okay, we're cool with that.

24:09.140 --> 24:14.620
And I knew what the answer would
be, because literally, you know,
it's, that's the kind

24:14.620 --> 24:18.420
of response you get, oh, really
appreciated very kind of you,
but fuck no, we're going

24:18.420 --> 24:23.540
to, we're just going to
continue, we're not going to let
these fuckers get us down,
regardless

24:23.540 --> 24:24.540
of where they're from.

Now, in the other hand, there's
something really, really
troubling that I'm noticing

24:27.660 --> 24:30.860
now, and this is something you
will not see in the United

24:32.940 --> 24:37.300
So, conversation just in the
office in general doesn't matter
who said what, but there

24:37.300 --> 24:41.340
is a general tendency, not just
in the office, I hear this
around, you know, where people

24:41.340 --> 24:46.900
will say, oh, you know, let's
walk around the Asian-looking
guy, and by the way, you know,

24:46.900 --> 24:55.460
the Asian in context here,
someone could be from India or
Pakistan, or from, from the far
east,

24:55.460 --> 24:59.260
that all falls under Asia, most
Americans don't realize that,
and we think of an Asian

24:59.260 --> 25:05.780
as basically the yellow man,
that's what we think of in the
US, so that's incorrect.

25:05.780 --> 25:10.420
But anyway, you know, there's
something really bad happening,
is people are becoming afraid

25:10.420 --> 25:15.500
of other people just for the way
they look, and I don't think
that is happened in the

25:15.500 --> 25:17.500
States.

25:17.500 --> 25:22.700
I don't think that people walked
down the street and see an Asian
person and say, oh, shit,

25:22.700 --> 25:28.380
you know, that could be a
terrorist, because we're so,
we're all foreigners, we're all

25:28.380 --> 25:32.700
aliens really in the United
States.

25:32.700 --> 25:39.500
So Britain, beware, don't go
down that road, you really
should not, you know, because

25:39.500 --> 25:45.660
that's hypocritical, you can't
be, you know, all stiff upper
lip and vigilant on the outside,

25:45.660 --> 25:49.460
but, you know, secretly be
routing around people.

25:49.460 --> 25:53.060
So please, please don't slip
into that, you guys got, you got
a good thing going here,

25:53.060 --> 25:58.340
and we've emulated a lot of it,
we've taken a lot of the great
things, and, and,

25:58.340 --> 26:04.300
and we've come up with some
pretty cool things of our own,
as I said, Taco Bell and
Band-Aids.

26:04.300 --> 26:05.300
Fuck yeah.

26:05.300 --> 26:08.900
All right, let's just place up a
pot safely, out of Xander.

how many songs have been written
about our country.

28:29.460 --> 28:34.100
And compare that to your own
country, you know, there's a big
conversation here going on today

28:34.100 --> 28:38.900
about, I believe Gordon Brown
said, you know what, we should
be flying the Union Jack on
public

28:38.900 --> 28:45.620
buildings, right on, right on,
and of course there's all the
wires are all crossed here,
there's

28:46.340 --> 28:50.260
there's always people who were
saying, well, you know, that's
nationalism and yeah,

28:50.260 --> 28:56.820
fuck that, fly your flag, be
proud. Well, I'll just, you
know, don't confuse what you see
on television

28:56.820 --> 29:01.700
and who you see on television
and what they claim to
represent, don't confuse that
with the people of

29:01.700 --> 29:10.740
a nation, you know, the, the,
the Iotola in Iran, the Shah,
whatever the dude's name is,

29:11.380 --> 29:17.620
I forget his name, the
president. You know, Aberdeen is
young, you know, it's like,

29:19.620 --> 29:23.780
you know, all these guys, they
don't represent what the people
are like,

29:24.580 --> 29:31.220
it's just like you and me,
except in America, we're a
little different, we're
unrefined.

29:33.300 --> 29:37.140
Really, you know what we're bad
at, what we've really gotten,
we've really, I think everyone
is

29:37.140 --> 29:41.540
sucking at this. I've seen a lot
of this and the European Union
is now dealing with this.

29:41.540 --> 29:46.580
We forget that we're in charge,
we forget that we really control
how things work. It's not the

29:46.580 --> 29:50.660
president that makes decisions,
even if you read the news just a
little bit, you can see that
it's

29:50.660 --> 29:55.780
Congress and you need to write
your congressmen and how the
Senate works and how bills are
created

29:55.780 --> 30:00.660
in past and sent on to the
president. You know, and if we
get fed up with someone sending
bills back

30:00.660 --> 30:04.260
and vetoing them, you know,
there's ways out of that, you
know, this was all set up
hundreds of

30:04.260 --> 30:08.420
years ago. We know how to do
this. What are they teaching
these kids in school these days?

30:09.540 --> 30:13.940
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of
talk. That's, that's the
problem. We have a lot of talk
talk talk.

30:13.940 --> 30:20.100
We forget to write, you know, my
grandfather who passed away. He
was 98 years old. He passed away

30:20.100 --> 30:26.420
about 10 years ago. And I recall
so well, every single time we,
and you know, we have our union

30:26.420 --> 30:32.020
coming up and it's being held at
the family house, if you will.
Mead Road, Armok, New York.

30:32.100 --> 30:39.140
Um, he, I, I recall so well. He
would sit at his typewriter day
and night, banging out letters

30:39.140 --> 30:44.580
to senators and congressmen and
other Washington officials. And
he changed things. He really,

30:44.580 --> 30:50.180
he really did. He helped set
policy a single individual. He
was able to do that. And so can

30:50.180 --> 30:55.220
you and it's become so easy with
email. It doesn't have to be
about protest all the time. It
doesn't

30:55.300 --> 31:04.980
have to be about saying, I will
fuck him. We'll get a new guy or
gal in 2008. No, no, no, no, we,
we

31:04.980 --> 31:10.660
have to do it ourselves. I look
at our own little company. You
know, we have about 100 people.

31:11.380 --> 31:16.100
And it functions the same way
America does. There's no one
that says, please show up at 7
o'clock

so we can get this shit done.
People just show up because
that's the way it works. We all
contribute.

31:20.660 --> 31:27.860
We all want to make it happen.
Now, somewhere in, uh, in the
80s and 90s, some things did
change.

31:27.860 --> 31:32.980
And this, of course, was really
media. And, uh, a lot of things
got blown out of proportion.

31:32.980 --> 31:37.380
And it's a very powerful tool,
which is why I'm so happy that
we have podcasts and other ways

31:37.380 --> 31:43.620
of creating independent media,
because we can take control back
of that as well. And what
happened was,

31:45.460 --> 31:50.100
freedom of speech started to get
squelched a little bit. You
know, it was really a, really a

31:50.180 --> 31:53.620
conversation about political
correctness, about, uh,

31:53.620 --> 32:03.300
lasciviousness, about proper use
of language, about the beauty of
the human form and about just

32:03.300 --> 32:04.580
