WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:08.039 You are about to be trampled underfoot. What we're hearing through the grape vine 2 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.039 is that folks are they can't get enough of our shows and they want some 3 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.640 extras, so we might go ahead and do that here and there. I 4 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.800 think it would be fun. I think it would be a lot of fun. 5 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:26.239 I mean, I'm getting a backlog of emails and messages just clamoring for 6 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.759 from Whichita to freaking Ontario too. I mean it just I even got, 7 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:39.359 for goodness six, I even got a letter handwritten in cow blood from from 8 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:48.079 Madagascar the other day. Oh you did not? It sounded good, yep, 9 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.159 written on a dried out piece of parchment that used to be um pig 10 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.200 uterus, and it just you know, okay, okay, nothing goes to 11 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.159 waste. I guess I'm trying to figure out how he figured out what department 12 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:10.079 was from it said it said pig Uterus made in China. I did have 13 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.159 the little recycled symbol on the back of it. Hi, I'm Mark. 14 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.799 We are two guys from different decades, different backgrounds, and on opposite sides 15 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.959 of the continent, discussing life of the universe and everything. What's the show 16 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.439 about about an hour trampled underfoot. So can you believe that this year came 17 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.120 and went like it did? It came, it slashed, it poked, 18 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.799 you know, and and it left up the side window. Yeah. YouTube 19 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.959 broke, I mean the whole thing. YouTube broke. A bunch of things 20 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.920 happened that I've already forgotten. And here we are in twenty nineteen. Kind 21 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.480 of feel like back to the future, you know, in a strange way. 22 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.120 Yeah, But if I knew I was going to live this long, 23 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.840 I'd have taken better care of myself, Ain't that for sure? That's a 24 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.560 truism. And you know what, the older you get, the faster the 25 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.280 year goes. I mean, I'm I'm sitting here, it's twenty nineteen. 26 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.080 Holy cow, nineteen eighty four still sounds like a long time away to me. 27 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.520 Yeah, just the other direction. And that's something to think about. 28 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.719 I'll throw out these little facts and things like that every once in a while. 29 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.439 But we are closer right now to the year twenty thirty than we are 30 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.199 to the year two thousand. Get out of town. Yes, we are 31 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.360 closer to twenty thirty than we are to two thousand. Do you guys? 32 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.319 Is it for me? The year two thousand seems like yesterday. I mean 33 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.520 literally seems like by all accounts in my head, in my like, just 34 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.560 around the corner, just a slut, slut, you know, a little 35 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.120 turn to the left and there you are. It does to me anyway. 36 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.960 Yeah, it's time is going faster and faster. But here's the here's the 37 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.800 real kicker on that one. And I'm not out to make anybody feel old, 38 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.800 although I will. There are people who voted this year, yeah, 39 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.080 well in twenty eighteen who were born in two thousand. Wow, that's crazy, 40 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.759 dude. Legal voting age in the year two thousand, Yeah, because 41 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:23.039 it's eighteen years after. There are people of legal voting age who never saw 42 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.759 The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Oh my goodness. I mean that was 43 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:32.120 a staple. H everybody knew that we're getting close to never saw Jay Leno 44 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.240 host the Tonight Show. Yeah, I mean that's still new to me, 45 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.800 believe it or not. In my brain. Yeah, and he did that 46 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.400 for twenty how many years? In my brain the way it works, and 47 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.840 I don't know, it's not realistic, but it's just how the mind works, 48 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.560 and I'm aware of it in my brain. To meet Conan O'Brien is 49 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.120 still a new show. I kid you, not in my brain the way 50 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.439 it works easy still on. I don't even know. Yeah, I think 51 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.000 he is. I think he's on TBS. I may be wrong there. 52 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.599 I'm not sure. I haven't watched TV in so many years. I don't 53 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.960 know anymore, just my opinion. I didn't think he was all that funny. 54 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.000 I mean, he had his moments, but everybody does. It's just 55 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.199 it's weird how time does seem to progrem I don't know. I think one 56 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.879 of us was talking about that, or all of us were talking about that. 57 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:30.240 So as the older you get, you have more experienced lifetime behind you, 58 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.560 rode behind you. So like when you're born and you're a toddler in 59 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:39.040 the first few years, that's an eternity to you because you've only lived that 60 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.319 much time. So you only have that point of reference, let's say, 61 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.800 and once you're older, I mean, things just go. You take a 62 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.720 lot, for granted, one thing to today, I went to the store. 63 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.480 How many times have I done that? It just all runs. I 64 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.680 mean, for goodness sakes, I mean we're almost at the year twenty thirty, 65 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.639 For goodness sakes, Yeah, it's years away and people voted, people 66 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.120 were able to vote last year. That we're born in two thousand. Think 67 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:10.160 about it, We're only two years away from people who were able to letally 68 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.480 drink. That we're born in two thousand. That is an amazing thing. 69 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.360 I don't know what. I don't know where this all ends up, and 70 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.800 it's looking pretty scary. That not to me. It's an adventure, it's 71 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.120 a journey. You know, nobody here gets out alive. So we'll just 72 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.079 see what happens tomorrow. Yeah, I'm afraid that more or less what happens 73 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.480 tomorrow will be more or less what happens It's going to be similar. But 74 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.160 something, you know, something new and shiny will come up, you know. 75 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.439 I mean, when you think back on it, I don't. I 76 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.199 don't know about you guys, But when I think back on it and I 77 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:49.800 see the technicological steps, just in technology that we have gone through from just 78 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:58.120 in my lifetime, it's craziness. Went from black and white televisions with an 79 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.879 antenna up on the roof if you afford to put an antenta on your roof, 80 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.639 you know, and you weren't using the little rabbit ears they called them 81 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.639 the little antenna that sat on top of the TV set. We went from 82 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:15.160 that to color television with cable, to plasma screen TV, to smart TV 83 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.160 that is on the internet. And who watches TV anymore anyway, because we're 84 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.639 all on streaming services like Netflix and Hulu and what have you. You just 85 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.879 got to wonder what the heck is coming next? Did you let me ask 86 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.399 you this? Did you turn on the TV today at any time? I 87 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.120 didn't? My wife did. I don't watch TV. Oh interesting, okay, 88 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:42.480 So did you turn on the TV anytime this week so far? No? 89 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.079 Yeah, no, my wife did. I think the last time I 90 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.319 purposely turned on the TV to see if anything was going on or see what 91 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.319 was going on not two weeks ago, and I don't remember why I turned 92 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.279 it on. Yeah, it's it's the sort of thing where it's one of 93 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:03.360 those things where that they were constant in the past that now we've we've moved 94 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.759 on. Yeah, and we're moving on. I used to think it was 95 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.040 really weird. The TV was always on at my house. If somebody was 96 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.639 home, the TV was on. And I always thought it was weird to 97 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.959 go visit my grandparents on my mother's side because my grandfather. If people came 98 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.360 to the house, he turned the TV off and you sat there and you 99 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.920 talked and you visited with people. The TV would come on in the evening 100 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.879 after dinner, but and then it would just be on for a little while. 101 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.040 They'd watch a couple of shows and then turn it off. It wasn't 102 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.800 It wasn't like that at my house. I mean, if somebody walked in 103 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.920 the door, the first thing you did before you took your jacket off was 104 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.079 you turned the TV on. Then you took off your coat, did whatever, 105 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.480 and it was warmed up by the time you got your coat off and 106 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.680 got changed and got somebody eating. Yeah, but I mean all the way 107 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.120 up until, oh, until I moved out, it was that way. 108 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:57.120 Yeah, it's it's in my house. What happened was that we would have 109 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.879 the what's it called the TV that all the time on. I would have 110 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:03.079 it on in my room. I had a small, little black and white 111 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.160 TV my father put in there, and that's what I used. I had 112 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:13.199 black and white TV for most of the eighties as I was growing up, 113 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.519 and then eventually he gave me his that was a small TV and it was 114 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.680 a color TV. I believe it was. But mostly it was black and 115 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.399 white, and I didn't think any different from color TV or black and white. 116 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.920 Just thought, okay TV and screw it. Yeah. I didn't have 117 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.320 a TV in my room until I was married and moved out of the house. 118 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.679 I was about to say, I was in my early twenties when when 119 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.320 I had my first TV of my own in my room. Yeah, and 120 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.120 I was out of the house by then married. So same here. In 121 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.720 fact, we were stationed in Savannah, Georgia. So I was when was 122 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.399 that? That was ninety two? I was thirty years old, trampled underfoot. 123 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.559 Yeah, to think about it, we're in twenty nineteen, and think 124 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.639 of that. You were just talking about, you know, back in the 125 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.840 eighties, but you couldn't talk to your talk to somebody like this back then, 126 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.279 it was it was it was science fiction then. What was there even 127 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.879 call waiting or conference calling back then? Uh? There were party lines, 128 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.519 but that's all I know of, Yeah, going into the eighties. Uh, 129 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:18.679 and I never got into those. So, yeah, party lines were 130 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.840 real. That was before they even had individual lines around the houses just about 131 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.399 right. Well, that's the thing. Once they ran the individual lines, 132 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.399 you actually had to call into a party line rather than just picking up the 133 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.480 phone and now TechEd out and technology that it has advanced to where you can 134 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.600 you can have it ring a different ring tone in your house depending on who 135 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.600 calls you. Yeah, if you still had used the phone, if you 136 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.320 still use the home phone. Yeah, we have a machine nowadays that will 137 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:54.240 actually do research for you, just like the computers in those movies or Star 138 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.279 Trek for instance. Computer, Um, can you tell me what's uh? 139 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.519 What's happening now? How many humans humanoid life forms are down there in Alpha 140 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.639 Centauri? Uh dash one, three, four or five and like Alexa like 141 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.600 that Patrick's has uh from Patrick's workshop. It's incredible because he can ask it 142 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.639 a bunch of questions and and it'll answer it. I mean, who would 143 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.279 have thunk that? Seriously? Yeah, I in the for me in the 144 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.399 eighties, I mean how about for you guys like in the seventies and sixties. 145 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.559 Did that even seemed like something like that would even happen? Did you 146 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.200 even expect it to happen? No? Um, I didn't think we would 147 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.200 be as far advanced as we actually are, you know, similar to the 148 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.600 old uh, like on the old Star Trek, they had the holodeck where 149 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.799 you could go and you know, be in, you know, you're in, 150 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.360 You're in the middle, and just a room and it's all three D 151 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:52.559 and you. And now they've got the virtual reality HDC five and those where 152 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.960 you can actually put this headset on and move around the room and it's like 153 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.039 you're moving in real life. Yeah. I've said it a few times before. 154 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.919 I made the comparison before, but a lot of it is very similar 155 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.320 to the Jetsons. Even though I still don't have my flying car, that's 156 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.440 probably a good thing. Well I can't drive, Yeah, well, no, 157 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.000 most folks can't drive in two dimensions. I can't see that whole altitude 158 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.039 thing. You know, there's a reason you don't have more pilots. I 159 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.519 can see a traffic jam in space. Oh yeah, well, with the 160 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.480 proper government oversight of the space roads, everything would be just fine. They'd 161 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.480 find a way to get a pothole in a space road. Dude, how's 162 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:39.039 that worked out where you live? That's it? No, I it just 163 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.879 it kind of makes me wonder what's going to come next. But there comes 164 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.600 a time where things come too fast, and I think that's where a lot 165 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.559 of us get in trouble with you know, financially or what have you. 166 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.240 We got to be on top of everything, and we got to have the 167 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.159 newest and the latest and greatest and what have you. And that stuff is 168 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.879 expensive and that's all there is to it. So lot of people have you 169 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.759 brought themselves to financial ruin trying to have the You know, you do not 170 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.600 have to have the iPhone twenty two the day it comes out. It's okay 171 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.200 to wait a week and let the other guys work all the bugs out of 172 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.120 it. You know, that stuff is really outrageously priced when it first comes 173 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.960 out. I mean, I can remember the first VCR that I ever saw 174 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.840 on the shelf, and we're talking VHS or Beta, you could have your 175 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.799 choice. The first one I saw on the shelf was seven hundred and fifty 176 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.240 dollars. And this was back when I was a private E one in the 177 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.480 army and I was making five hundred and fifty dollars a month, and then 178 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.240 later on they couldn't give them away. And it's the same with DVD players. 179 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.639 I still think of DVD as being new because it's not VHS tape. 180 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.399 It's not a big, old, clunky tape. You put in the machine 181 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.240 like we had for twenty years, that little shiny aluminum disc sandwich. They're 182 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.559 in plastic and that you drop in and you can't find a DVD player anymore. 183 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.720 Well, it's funny because as far as that's concerned at this point, 184 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.399 like you're saying, at this point, number one, I have an iPhone 185 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.360 or an iPhone. I have an iPod that I bought in the early two 186 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.240 thousands and I figured at that time it costs like two hundred and something bucks, 187 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.960 and I figured out I can put all my music in one thing and 188 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.480 it'll be there, you know. And I still have it with me to 189 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.360 this day. But as far as discs and all that, I mean, 190 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.799 it's not even you could just play it on YouTube at this point, so 191 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.559 it's almost not worth even having. I'm glad I have it, though, 192 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.159 But kids today, I don't think that the concept of I don't know that 193 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:45.720 concept of storing items or music. I don't know if that's gonna be I 194 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.919 don't know if it's gonna be a continual thing. We lost the album concept, 195 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.960 so you know, that's a whole world that's disappeared. Everything's on the 196 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.399 cloud just about. Yeah, we've we've gone because you and I, well 197 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.080 all three of us or of that generation, were of that age where ownership 198 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.240 meant something. You know, we went out and we bought the record, 199 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.000 or we bought the tape, or we you know, we when video came 200 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.960 out, we bought the video tape, or we bought the DVD. And 201 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.919 now you don't have to even do that. You can subscribe to a service 202 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.200 instead of becoming a member of your local video rental shop, you can join 203 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.879 a streaming service and whatever you want to watch, it's there on demand. 204 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.360 You don't have to leave the house and go get it. And so lying 205 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.159 on the improvements that they have to continually keep pushing on the internet for that 206 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.840 same very same reason. But it was but we had the same thing in 207 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.039 a tangible sense, and that we had. We moved from VHF to from 208 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.639 Beata to VHF to VHF, VHS to LaserDisc, to DVD to Blu ray. 209 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.399 And now we don't need any of that. There's no home storage. 210 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.080 We don't. If you want to, you can go out and you can 211 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.080 get a two terabyte hard drive and you can download and save those shows and 212 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.559 watch them at your lead. But why bother when you can just go online 213 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.279 and watch them at your leisure anyway. Yeah, you know, people aren't 214 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.720 buying books. The folks who do still read, they don't. Some people 215 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.559 do still want that tactle feel they want the book in their hand, but 216 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.960 a lot of them will just download it to their tablet or a kindle or 217 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.799 something and just read it that way. Yeah. I've switched of most of 218 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.759 my reading is coming in through my kindle now, so we have fewer things 219 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.519 in the house, but we still have We have even more diversions than we 220 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.679 ever had. Speak for yourself. I'm up to my elbows and things. 221 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.240 In fact, I think there's something called spring cleaning or something. I guess 222 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.879 we've got like three or four months to go for that. And that's what 223 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.240 I mean. We're of the age where we think that ownership, the need 224 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:50.679 to have things is you know important, which is where the downsizing movement everybody 225 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.879 going to mini houses and stuff like that. They can do it because they 226 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.200 don't have to have all the all the same stuff. They can do it 227 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.200 all with a phone and a tablet. Now, yeah, exactly exactly, 228 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.639 and that that is a big benefit. I mean, the days of the 229 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.240 eight foot long floor to ceiling entertainment center are numbered. Um. Fact, 230 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.840 they're already gone in a lot of ways. Because you don't have to store 231 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.120 a thousand DVDs anymore. I'll probably end up with like four walls an empty 232 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.440 room, and like one little box sitting at the center of the room. 233 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.600 Um, and it contains all entertainment data information. You know, it'll feed 234 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.759 you. It'll have these little tentacles that come out and just feed you a 235 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:34.159 droplet which has enough nutrients for the whole day. It'll get to the point 236 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:40.159 where you need nothing. You know. I don't know about that room. 237 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.960 Eventually, you're gonna find things where they're gonna they're you're gonna have a ring 238 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.480 of houses, and they're all gonna be tiny houses, and they're gonna surround 239 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:55.080 a city sized data center that runs everything we have. We already have the 240 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.960 making. We already have the makings of that. It's called the trailer Park. 241 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.960 It will be a city. You'll have a whole city, and its 242 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.359 center feature will be a huge, big computer mainframe thing, and people will 243 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.519 go to it and worship at it and leave it flowers like some sort of 244 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:18.359 like far Eastern dictator. I totally technologies. It's hey, it's the present 245 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.319 and it's the future. We'll have robots probably too. I'm probably giving away 246 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.160 the beginnings of a plot line to a book, but that's okay. If 247 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.839 somebody wants to write the story, go for it. I'm envisioning like the 248 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:34.119 twenty second century wagon trains, where you've got all these tiny houses circling a 249 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:40.640 cell phone tower instead of the campfire in the middle. Yeah, well that's 250 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:41.839 why. I mean, you see, you see all a lot of the 251 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.519 sci fi movies and they're showing, you know, this giant tower that's controlling 252 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.640 everything in the city. But they were thinking along the lines of nineteen fifties 253 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:55.039 and nineteen sixties mainframes. Now you can get more computing power out of a 254 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.599 bunch of small things. So now they have data centers, which they're they're 255 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:03.480 big buildings, but they're not humongous, and they still control huge amounts of 256 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:11.519 everything trampled underfoot. Here's a question for you guys. Okay, we always 257 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.960 talk about the things that have changed, and there's plenty to talk about that, 258 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.079 and I wonder, and I'm sure that you guys can come up with, 259 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.839 but what are some of the things that have not changed, barring like 260 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.799 having to chew and eat and you know, but things that haven't changed that 261 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:37.480 you could still look to be an electronic or cultural or just things that have 262 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.279 not changed since the time that you guys were young uns. I'd be curious 263 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:48.400 to see if you can don't remember any I some things I don't know if 264 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.400 they will ever change. And I'm not talking about conceptual things. I'm not 265 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:59.599 talking about ideologies or anythings like that. But think about the concept of something 266 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.519 as simil as the zipper on your blue jeans. Now that's a pride and 267 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.160 true, you know. I mean, yeah, okay, we've seen velcro, 268 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.519 but how many pairs of jeans do you have that have velcrow on it? 269 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.279 Shoelaces, Yeah, we've seen the velcro straps, and yeah, we 270 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.599 know we have slip ons and things like that, and some you know, 271 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.119 people will even guys like me remember having the tanker boots with zippers on the 272 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.680 sides of them. But some things I don't think will ever go away. 273 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:32.359 Pens and pencils. We're just gonna make them look nicer, but there's always 274 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.440 going to be a need for that to shot something down. Yeah, I 275 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.880 hear. I hear the nineties were a big pen and pencil decade. Really, 276 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.680 where'd you hear that? I just, you know, I just it 277 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.839 could have been a hell of nineties. But you know, oh okay, 278 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.720 I thought maybe you heard it through that grape vine from some dude named Marvin. 279 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.599 But well, you think about it though, that part of society pens 280 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.559 and pencils, especially writing, writing, jotting yourself notes, which we all 281 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.880 do. Yeah. They I figured with all the technology now that that would 282 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.160 become less and less because you can just voice activate your phone and say remind 283 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:12.240 me of this, But they're still not going away because people want that normality, 284 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:17.680 well, especially with old people like me, because I still have a 285 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:23.680 problem with trusting something electronic because the power goes out, batteries die, and 286 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.799 you can have all the phone numbers in the world on your iPhone, but 287 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:33.240 when that battery is dead and you've walked twenty miles to the next gas station, 288 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.160 okay, fine, who do you call? You don't know? Right? 289 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:42.279 Memory dial one doesn't work. I've got literally one hundred notes stacked around 290 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.599 me all the time because I'm constantly jotting myself notes. Yeah, because I 291 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.119 don't try I don't trust electronics. I've had I've lost hard drives, I've 292 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.680 lost systems. Yeah, yeah, we don't trust them so much that, 293 00:20:53.759 --> 00:21:00.799 but we use them like like drug addicts. Sure, well, that's an 294 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.599 obvious thing for me. I mean, I've got three going at one time 295 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.279 at almost all the time. But you know it's there that it could fail. 296 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.200 And that's the thing about that, You're You're right. So the pen 297 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:17.200 is a staple and pencil is a staple that UM has not changed um and 298 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:21.799 people still go to it. That's totally true. And what is a pen 299 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.240 is difficult, but a pencil you could actually make yourself. Anybody could make 300 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.000 a writing implement like a pencil themselves, right. But my point is I 301 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.319 don't I don't know that they're ever gonna go away. No, you know, 302 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.799 we've seen more or less the downfall of the newspaper. When was the 303 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.319 last time you picked up a newspaper? Yesterday? I like, yes, 304 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.240 I picked it up, play and put it right in the recycle band, 305 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:52.400 didn't you. Yep, that's exactly what. There's a here's one for you. 306 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.279 Do they still deliver telephone books in your neighborhood? Yes? I get, 307 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.799 I get get them three three different times a year. I get telephone 308 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.559 books. Wow, I still figured out why we get one a year. 309 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:10.480 And the difference is a telephone book where I grew up was three inches thick. 310 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.920 A telephone book here's like half an inch thick. Right, Yeah, 311 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.720 they still deliver them. Okay, do you use it? No? No, 312 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.000 you know. I'm gonna throw out a little tip if you're looking for 313 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.960 something and you can't find it online and you think it's not offered locally. 314 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:27.920 In the maker community, in the woodworking community, we have a lot of 315 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.680 people going, well, there's no hardwood suppliers in my area. I can't 316 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.319 get it, And I say, pick up the phone book and look. 317 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:41.079 You would be surprised at how many old school, family run businesses that are 318 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.880 run by older people that are still they don't have an online presence, they 319 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.279 don't have a website, they don't have anything like that. You'd be surprised. 320 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.160 So dust off that phone book and look, you might be surprised to 321 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.599 find that there are suppliers in your area. Yeah, I have, that's 322 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.720 one that I haven't. I haven't. I hadn't looked at it looked up 323 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.960 in the phone book, I know. But I know from talking to other 324 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.519 makers where they're at in the area, and I'm still hours away from them. 325 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.839 Yeah. I found two of them here near my hometown by looking in 326 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:18.119 the phone book because they don't have online presences. Trampled underfoot. You don't 327 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.359 know it, Eloy, but I've I've got my little notepad over here, 328 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.920 and you kind of dove tailed into a couple of things that I just wrote 329 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.799 down. I get ideas and I write them down, and I'm starting to 330 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.559 write down the context too, so I don't end up with something weird like 331 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:38.799 last time. Yeah. Yeah, random stuff that I have no idea why 332 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:45.279 I wrote it down. Yeah, But the question is, okay, let 333 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.160 me set this up a little bit. It was one of those online conversations 334 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.880 and somebody asked, Hey, I noticed all you guys have stickers. I'd 335 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.279 like to get some stickers. Where do you get your stickers from? And 336 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:02.279 inevitably, in a group with six thousand members, we got like a hundred 337 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.240 people replying, and certain brand names came up. And I'm not going to 338 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.359 mention any brand names or anything, but brand X, brand X, brand 339 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.799 X brand X. Okay, fine, And then you always have that one 340 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.039 guy who comes in and says, well, I don't like brand Dex because 341 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.799 they print on vinyl and then they put a clear vinyl overlay on it, 342 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:25.880 and that's just not durable enough. You need die sublimation because ink won't run. 343 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.559 It's it's imprinted in the And I'm sitting there looking at it, and 344 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.839 here's the question to you, guys. I'm thinking to myself, it's a 345 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.200 sticker. How durable do you need it to be? It's a sticker. 346 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:40.799 You're probably going to put it on a band saw and shove it off to 347 00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:44.319 the side of the room and look at it maybe once every five years if 348 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.720 you notice it's there at all, or put it in a drawer. Yeah, 349 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.839 how durable does does it have to be? And I think that translates 350 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.559 out into a bunch of other things, because if you look at some of 351 00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.759 the things we buy, if you look at some of the things we build 352 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:02.240 or make or what have you, people are always looking for the best, 353 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.559 the strongest, the safest for it. But how terrible does it really need 354 00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.200 to be? At the end of the day, At the very least it 355 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:18.240 has to be UVY protected, water protected and BADE protection. Yeah, at 356 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.519 least those three for how long? Yeah, for how long? At least? 357 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.000 Well, I would say, if you're gonna put it outside, I 358 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.440 think I would save the safe bad five years at least. That sticker's gonna 359 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.079 be a hefty sticker. Okay, you and I are on the same page. 360 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:37.839 I figure five years because you're probably gonna if you put it on your 361 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.880 car, you're probably gonna trade that car off at five years, unless you're 362 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.160 you're mean, I've been driving the same car for like ye, Well, 363 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.039 yeah, mine's fourteen years old out out there in the driveway. That's true. 364 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.480 But you're gonna put it on your car and it's gonna go with the 365 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.519 car. Oh yeah, I'm trading off or sell it. Yeah, I'm 366 00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.720 joking. I agree with that totally. You know, sticker is just a 367 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.640 sticker for goodness sakes, and unless you but what is considered top of the 368 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:10.640 line equipment, your equipment, and if you use your equipment regularly, it's 369 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.599 not gonna last much more than that. Yeah, and then again, um, 370 00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.680 then again, I just just to say this, A sticker is an 371 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:22.960 extension in our case of our efforts and our brand and you know, the 372 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:27.440 creations that we build, and so I guess psychologically, we put like emphasis 373 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:32.799 onto that sticker, and it's a high value. I think I get you, 374 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.640 and and and and you're absolutely right. Um. You know, the 375 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:41.440 folks who are gonna be have on YouTube and do a YouTube video, they're 376 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.880 probably gonna make a sticker board or put it on their tools or someplace where 377 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.400 they can where it's visible in a video because it looks cool. It's a 378 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.359 it's a subliminal shout out to you know. I still get a kick as 379 00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:57.359 seeing my sticker on Matt Crimona's garage door. Pocket holes, get uh a 380 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:03.880 pocket screw joinery. It's a lot of hate online. Mortis intenant joints are 381 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.720 stronger than pocket holes, Dude, I'm making a picture frame. How durable 382 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.559 does it have to be. Let's not forget. Let's have a sense of 383 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.759 proportion here, in a sense of reality. Okay, you know, I 384 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.440 don't think there's anybody that would argue mortis intendant joints are stronger than pocket holes. 385 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.920 I know, but they have their place. Chill out, don't worry 386 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.319 about it. Don't worry about it. It's would it's not gonna last a 387 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:33.640 thousand years. I say. They used to build houses with Mortisontenant too. 388 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.720 Yeah. Yeah, and if they still build houses that way, then we 389 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.279 would have a whole lot less houses. Yeah, and they'd all cost half 390 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:48.240 a million dollars to start trampled underfoot. So now we have this year upon 391 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.039 us, this new year and do So what about those people that make New 392 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:59.480 year resolutions and all these things where they look forward to the next year and 393 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.960 saying they're going to improve in this, this, this is, and that. 394 00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:06.079 Do you guys do that do make resolutions? I don't. I don't 395 00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:10.400 either. I mean either. I tried that when I was younger, and 396 00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:12.799 as I've gotten older, I realized that I don't have any control over what's 397 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:18.759 gonna happen tomorrow. Yep, I gave up on the resolution. Well, 398 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.039 I take that back. I do every year make a resolution not to make 399 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.559 any resolutions because I don't believe in making promises. I don't know if I 400 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.000 can keep And it's like you said, I don't know what's going to happen 401 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.559 tomorrow, So I'm not gonna say, well, I'm never gonna do that 402 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.960 again. Yeah right? How many how many times have you ever said I'm 403 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.799 never gonna do that again and followed it? Up with at this time. 404 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:42.359 I mean it, well, it's comforting. It is, I mean for 405 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:47.640 some folks, I guess, but you know, I never put a lot 406 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.799 of stock into it because I figured you don't need a special day. If 407 00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.240 you want to change behavior, you can do it any day, you know. 408 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.240 I mean, I mean that that that going back to whatever habit be 409 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.680 a drinking or is a comforting thing. You know what I'm saying. So 410 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.039 people will end up in the same place. But yeah, no resolutions for 411 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.960 you guys. I don't do that. I just I resolved to not make 412 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.559 resolutions that way. I'm not disappointed. I don't believe in setting myself up 413 00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:17.079 for failure or anybody else. If you want to, if you want a 414 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:21.119 resolution, then I'll give you a resolution. I resolved to stay friends with 415 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:22.799 you two at least till the end of the podcast. Okay, there we 416 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.559 go. You heard it here first, and we're gonna hold him to that. 417 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:33.759 Now we're gonna start talking trash about country music. Now go for the 418 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:41.119 juggular. So can you guys, um tell me what highlights or what marks 419 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.880 you know? Your two, your twenty eighteen. I can't even say the 420 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.519 number. It's such a weird number to say anything too in front of it 421 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.640 was so much easier to say nineteen eighty, this, nineteen eighty, nineteen 422 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:59.279 ninety. But can you tell us your best or your highlights of twenty eighteen 423 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:03.400 Things that were notable, whether good or bad, or just things that were 424 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:08.880 notable of this year, if any, because if there's none, good Steve, 425 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.240 oh no, thanks from the end of the bus. I've had a 426 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:18.319 lot of highlights this year actually because of the friendships I've made, And that's 427 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.480 what it for me. That's what life actually comes down to, is the 428 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.960 friends you've made and the people that are close to you. Things don't mean 429 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.240 it, don't mean any really anything to me. Yeah, I've started a 430 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.079 couple of companies that so far haven't collapsed, so that's a good thing. 431 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.160 But my life year to year doesn't have a lot of changes because I don't 432 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.880 because I don't try to make changes. Found that comfort zone and sticking with 433 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.119 it pretty much. I retired, I'm done. Yeah, I hear you, 434 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:49.920 I hear you. Yeah, that's that's one of the things. I 435 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:53.720 mean. Highlights of twenty eighteen for me. We bought a house. I 436 00:30:53.839 --> 00:31:00.519 retired from the real estate profession, we started a podcast. How we got 437 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.799 into this, I still am not quite clear. You know. I still 438 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.119 have to shake myself every once in a while and say, are you really 439 00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:10.200 doing that? Yeah, you're doing that? Okay, made friends. As 440 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.119 Steve was saying, got to know you guys a heck of a lot better. 441 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.079 I mean, it's just been it's been a heck of a year. 442 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.160 I've had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself and that's some great 443 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.119 people along the way. I'm kind of with Steve on this. I don't 444 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.480 know that it's got anything to do with acquisition of things or anything like that. 445 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.640 I mean things are things are going well, things are going good, 446 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.079 things are looking up. Yeah, absolutely, Well, well, i'd like 447 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.279 to say that those things that you guys mentioned, uh just it's it's for 448 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.960 the Those are positive things, and there's always ups and downs, you know, 449 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:48.960 throughout the year. So with me, it's a difficult thing because I 450 00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:53.400 at the end of the year, m I got slam, you know, 451 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:59.960 with having to pay these exorbitant bills and what I mean slam, I mean 452 00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:06.160 record obliterated abusively. But with that said, um, so that's the negative. 453 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:10.480 I also had to go in and redo the house next door, at 454 00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:16.279 which time I pulled certain muscles that weren't in use and I'm still dealing with 455 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:22.640 the pain of that. That's another but on the positive side, I did. 456 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:28.720 I did get renters in there, and they're actually very quiet. You 457 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:34.119 don't hear of them other than the lady might play some music in the kitchen, 458 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.200 but it's not loud. It's just they're only hear it if you go 459 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:42.319 outside and are like close to that area and the property. Um, they're 460 00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:46.480 quite quiet, very respectful thus far, so that's good. I spent two 461 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:52.240 months trying to fix that place up, so that was a pretty bad thing, 462 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.039 but it ended up that it got rented, so that's good. I've 463 00:32:54.079 --> 00:33:01.160 been able to focus on the websites. I've started the podcast that we started 464 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:06.279 UM Trampled Underfoot, and I do know how it did start. It started 465 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.440 because one day sometime earlier this year, you said we should do a podcast 466 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.519 or something about music, or we should do some sort of show or something, 467 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.319 and I can, yeah, you did. You don't remember. No, 468 00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:21.960 you ain't blaming us on me. UM. I think that Steve was 469 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.640 on that hangout when you when you mentioned it, So there's no two wear. 470 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:30.640 You know, I really honestly think that Doc was the instigator on this. 471 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:35.039 I don't remember that thing. But before I forget, let me just 472 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.400 wrap up my whole bit here. Um uh so we've also Steve, I 473 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:45.839 think we started uh rock and Woodworks the website this year? Yeah, or 474 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.960 was it last year Rock and Woodworks started? It was It was the very 475 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:54.200 beginning of a very end of twenty seventeen, very beginning of twenty eighteen. 476 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.319 Okay, so of twenty eighteen we did start. Did we start the med 477 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:04.200 Maker Showing twenty eighteen? Yes? Okay? So The Med Maker Show was 478 00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:09.960 a very successful show in that maybe not as much as viewership, it was, 479 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:15.280 you know, as much as as any basic show, but it brought 480 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:20.599 a lot of people to actually tell their stories and we got to hear the 481 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:25.039 makers telling their life stories from a very personal, well their point of view, 482 00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:30.519 and we also digged in a little bit and it's amazing how much people 483 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.280 reveal of themselves in that format. So it was a very good thing to 484 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:38.320 do. At the end. Though another bad thing unfortunately we had Steve on 485 00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:43.960 it that the Internet crash, so that went that we broke YouTube, So 486 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:46.880 you know that we can put that on our resume because I was co hosting 487 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:54.880 that night. Yeah, and I still hear about it, and Steve you 488 00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:00.519 will because when it quiets down, will be sure to bring it back up. 489 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:04.199 All in all, it was, uh well, I look at it 490 00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:09.639 as life is a highway and we're driving it all night long. The gentlemen 491 00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:15.280 the world's worst segue. I just I just think that life is a highway 492 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.800 and there's always ups and downs. I agree with you, guys. Look, 493 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:24.039 I'm thankful to be alive.

That's right, I'm a social director Trampled Underfoot. I have one 511 00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:49.920 for you now we got it's the first week, well for both of you, 512 00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:53.679 feel free to chime in first week of January twenty nineteen. That means 513 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:59.239 that everything I'm gonna I'm fixing to make some people upset here. Everything that 514 00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:04.519 happened in nineteen sixty nine turns fifty years old this year. So with that 515 00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:07.599 in mind, do each of you, either of you have a guess what 516 00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:14.360 was the number one song the first week of January nineteen sixty nine, according 517 00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:19.159 to the Billboard Hot one hundred. Clue I was five years old, Nilo 518 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.400 was important. Yet that's a that's a tough one. Don't tell us just 519 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:27.599 yet. I'm gonna throw something up in the air. Nineteen sixty nine. 520 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.719 I'd love to say the Beatles were still around. It's probably not going to 521 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:35.639 be. There was a band that knocked the Beatles out of first place, 522 00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.280 and I think that in sixty nine. Boy, I can't remember what songs 523 00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:46.199 were hits on there at so maybe something of the Beatles. Can you give 524 00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:50.360 us a year and at may on that one? I can give you a 525 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:52.639 No on that one. It was not the Beatles. Okay, it was 526 00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.280 not the Beatles. No, it was not the Beatles. It is a 527 00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.000 song that I'm sure both of you have heard. Is that a very famous 528 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:05.519 song? Very famous song? And in fact it wild? It was, 529 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:10.360 In fact, it was number one the entire month of January. N't to 530 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:16.400 be wild? No? From from sir from to sir would love No. 531 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:24.760 Now you're just guessing you have heard it. They have used it in advertisements 532 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:30.079 a fire, especially for a small little fruit snack that came from the West 533 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:37.599 Coast, apples and peaches, Apples and peaches song. No, do you 534 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.239 want to hear it? Get done? No? Give us another clue, 535 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:45.920 can you Hey? Let's see. It was also remade by another band who 536 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:50.400 had not fall Well. Yeah, they had formed by then, but they 537 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:55.079 were not in the top one hundred of nineteen sixty nine? Was it apples 538 00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:00.199 peaches punkin pie? No, you was young, and so was I think 539 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:06.039 of a small dried fruit snack. Oh, that's the coast. So the 540 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:09.719 Temptations, No, I heard it through I heard It through the grape Vine 541 00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:15.440 by Marvin Gay was the number one song for the entire month of January nineteen 542 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:21.960 sixty nine. But guess what, that's a good one too. The Temptations 543 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.159 that at first, didn't they I don't think so. I don't think so. 544 00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:29.119 I don't know that the Temptations ever did hurt it through the grape Vine. 545 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:34.800 Let's start the year with controversy. Yeah to Google, I hope they 546 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.000 did, because in my mind they did, but they probably did it. 547 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.039 It was Marvin Gay. Yeah, it's one of his earlier hits, right, 548 00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:46.079 Um, I don't know about early. No, it's Marvin Gay, 549 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:52.679 written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. The other group who recorded it was 550 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.360 Creden's Clearwater Revival. They covered it in nineteen seventy. Can you see if 551 00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:01.599 the Temptations ever did it? M confort and I'm not seeing it? Okay, 552 00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:07.119 Well that's what I was thinking. I was thinking CCR when I was 553 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.199 trying to think of the CCR song. Oh yeah, the Temptations did do 554 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:16.199 it in sixty nine. Holy cow. But oh that's okay. This is 555 00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:21.320 why that was a holdover. Marvin Gay released it in nineteen sixty eight, 556 00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:24.960 but it was still number one for the whole month of January sixty nine. 557 00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:30.760 So the Temptation Temptations did do it in sixty nine. Okay, So after 558 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.760 Marvin Gay, well good, all right, Well that everybody's happy then, 559 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.480 well, yeah, except the Temptations because Marvin Gay got then went to number 560 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:45.000 one, they didn't. Yep, that's right. It's listed. In fact, 561 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:51.079 Marvin Gays is listed. It's number eighty one on the Rolling Stones list 562 00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:55.519 of the five hundred Greatest Songs of all time. Wow. Yep. And 563 00:40:55.639 --> 00:41:04.519 for those of you that don't know who Marvin Gay was, read a book 564 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:09.559 We'll lead you down Rabbit Holes. So so then twenty nineteen, no, 565 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.800 um, what do you call those things again? Um? When you make 566 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.320 what wasn't the Resolutions?
