I mean he's on Facebook. 19 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.079 He does a lot of dry bar comedy, which they 20 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.799 have a pretty big YouTube channel. The guy's name is 21 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.039 Rodney Norman. All Right. He's very very unique in his 22 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:01.200 appearance because he looks like a hobo. Yeah, literally, like 23 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.120 a homeless hobo. But he's a really really nice guy. 24 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.680 He's really funny. But uh yeah. The show was at 25 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.439 Bruce Bears, you know the brewery that's in our neighborhood, 26 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.599 but it was actually at their other location downtown. I 27 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.359 went down there with a friend and we got there 28 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.200 before the show and I just I got to meet 29 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.400 the guy, you know, Rodney, and I was like, wow, 30 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.879 you know, I've been following you for a while. I 31 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.120 love your I love your comedy. And it was a 32 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.640 very small show, maybe twenty twenty five people maybe the most, 33 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.480 but I did mention to him. I said, hey, I'm 34 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.599 just gonna throw this out there. I was, you know, 35 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.599 I'm a former radio DJ and I you know, do 36 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.480 a lot of voiceover work and things like that. I 37 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.799 was wondering, maybe could I introduce you? Oh wow? And 38 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.280 he's like, actually, yeah, that'd be great because you know, 39 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.959 all comedians get introduced and I didn't have anybody introduced me. 40 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.079 And I was like, oh my god, that oh this 41 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.159 is gonna be cool. Oh wow. You know, I kind 42 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.079 of came up with a little script and it was 43 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.640 funny because I ran it by him, and he's like, 44 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.319 oh my god, he goes, and you don't. I'll tell 45 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.920 you what. I'll tell you what I said. But he 46 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.760 told me. He goes, you don't do stand up comedy. 47 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.000 He goes, you you really should do stand up comedy 48 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.120 because you're actually kind of funny. But basically what I 49 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.159 said was, thanks for coming out tonight for the comedy show. 50 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.479 We're here to see a very funny gentleman. He's been 51 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.960 doing comedy for twenty seven years, and if you don't 52 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.520 know who he is, it's kind of weird that you're 53 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.360 actually here right now, but you've seen him on Drybar 54 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.439 Comedy and it finally it took COVID for people to 55 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.680 finally find him funny. Give it up for Rodney Norman, right, 56 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.319 And everybody just kind of laughed and applauded at that. 57 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.280 And then I messaged Rodney the next day on Facebook 58 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.759 and he goes, I really truly believe that you should 59 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.759 be in stand up comedy. Well, and I said, I 60 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.439 was like, I don't understand because I don't have material, 61 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.599 And he told me. He told me something that would 62 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.599 really actually hit home to me because I sat back 63 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.960 and I thought about it. He said It was so 64 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.039 simple too, as most good advice is. He said, right, 65 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:55.439 the truth and the jokes will find themselves. It's true. Yeah, 66 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.719 that's true. That's kind of cool because you also had Brad. 67 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.759 I'm trying to remember Brad. You got a photo with 68 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.919 him and yeah, Brad, Brad Williams william I went to 69 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:04.280 that show. 70 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.560 Yeah that was that was an amazing show. And you know, 71 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.039 shout out to shout out to Brad. We all still 72 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:16.520 hate Karen.

He had 76 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.479 an opener, but I have I have his shirt that 77 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.280 I bought it for Lee and I and I still 78 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.319 wear and it says I like your dogs more than you. 79 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.520 Oh So if you ever follow, just look up Rodney 80 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.199 Norman on Facebook because he'll do these things where he'll 81 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.360 just go live on Facebook for like thirty seconds and 82 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.280 he'll be like, Okay, so you survived until today, So 83 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.919 you got that going for you.

There's 92 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.479 one guy that I saw and I think he's on 93 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.400 dry bar as well. He's got to be I swear 94 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.879 he's got to be in his mid eighties and he 95 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.319 does his jokes all based around I know, yes, I 96 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.319 think I know you're talking about. He does his jokes 97 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.120 all based around being, you know, an older gentleman, and 98 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.839 boy is he funny. He is, and he just that's 99 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.720 all he does, is, like you said, talks about real 100 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.199 life and the jokes follow and it just it just 101 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.480 comes along. But yeah, I can't remember that guy's name, 102 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.759 but I know exactly what you're talking about. Very he's 103 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.959 very old. He's an older gentleman, very rail looking. Yep. Yeah, 104 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.839 but he is hilarious. Yeah, there's one comic that I 105 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.079 wish was still with us that is no longer with us. 106 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.160 That I think was a master at what he did, 107 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.759 and if he would have lived a little longer, I 108 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.519 think he would just be been huge. Mitch Hedberg, Oh 109 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.040 oh yeah. I actually compare Rodney to a little bit 110 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.000 of like a Mitch Hedburg style of comedy because he 111 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.399 doesn't quite do just one liners, but his jokes are 112 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.839 very short. Yeah yeah, I Matt remembers Mitch Hedburg as well. Yeah, 113 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:12.800 oh yeah. 114 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.360 And I agree like entirely that it's it's definitely social 115 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.839 media and you know, easy access to short form entertainment 116 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.120 that's giving all these people a leg up. Like just 117 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.120 look at a Jeff Rcooney, Like he started out just 118 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.639 posting stuff. 119 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.279 On r slash. 120 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.600 Stand up, He's got his own subreddit.

And 134 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.120 I remember listening to Billing Vall when I was Billing 135 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.079 Vale when I was younger, with the here's your sign, 136 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:18.199 And I just recently read that he decided to retire 137 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.439 because he was like, I'm I am a name synonymous 138 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.360 with stand up comedy, Like I don't have to do 139 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:26.079 this anymore. 140 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.360 And then I was like, dude, you got more years 141 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:28.879 left in you. 142 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:30.360 And I looked up his age and I was like, 143 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.680 oh god, time passes really quickly. 144 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.920 You know what, he's like sixty five now or something. Yeah, 145 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.920 I just thought of I would pay big money to 146 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.279 see this. A Hallmark movie would Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the 147 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.360 cable guy, bill ing Vall, and then the other guy 148 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.240 who drank a lot what was his name?

Well, you know it's funny is 152 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.079 I When my dad was still alive, we actually went 153 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.519 to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and I believe it 154 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.639 was our radio station KPX that got us got me 155 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.839 backstage passes so we were able to go. And it 156 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.399 was like a conference room, and I remember seeing Jeff 157 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.240 Foxworthy and Layer of the Cable Guy and and Bill 158 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.800 Engvall and Ron White and they were all just standing 159 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.560 around and my dad was like a kid in a 160 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.399 candy store, so cool. And he asked to get a 161 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.480 picture with Layer of the Cable Guy and we got 162 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.519 a picture and Larry goosed my dad during the picture 163 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.720 to make my dad be like, oh my god, you 164 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.680 know in the picture?

I would want someone's angry grandfather to 177 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.360 be George Carlin. 178 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.199 Oh, yes, you'd have to have just so like older comics, right. 179 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.759 Yeah, the absolute god of stand up comedy.

You can't 184 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.519 capture George Carlin through AI. 185 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.159 No, that would not be good. I'm trying to think 186 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.759 who's still with us that we'd be able to you'd 187 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.120 be able to have in that as an older cast, 188 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.480 and then the female cast members. Because it's Hallmarks, they 189 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.559 got to be a romance, so they've got to be 190 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:48.240 a romance. 191 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.120 I would put Eliza s Schlessinger up there, right, She's 192 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.039 lee went to one of her shows, and I've watched 193 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.039 most of her specials. 194 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:57.919 She is hilarious. 195 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.320 Yeah, I absolutely enjoy watching She's phenomenal. 196 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.000 I feel like I know I know a woman who'd 197 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.159 be really great Hallmark movie. Gilda Radner. 198 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.799 Oh, she would have been good too, right, that would 199 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.960 have been good too. But again, you'd have to have 200 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.679 to be an AI thing to bring her back. 201 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.799 Some lawyer at Hallmark is just like Oh my god, 202 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.519 we would get so sued we would have to we 203 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.080 would record that movie and then promptly burn it. 204 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.080 I don't know, we might be onto something. Can you 205 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.399 imagine it would be great the blue collar comedy love. 206 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.960 Hopefully Justin will make his way back in here. But 207 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.039 you know we're reminiscenting. We're talking about, you know, great 208 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.600 moment to talking about. Well, we lost Justin when he 209 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.559 was talking about the photo with his dad and Larry 210 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.240 the cable guy goose to him, let's talk about photos. 211 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.200 We have not been able to really focus on the 212 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.639 scanning project that that Sean has been involved in, involving 213 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.000 the EPSOM Fast Photo six eighty Sean, how's that been going. 214 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.159 So andie ever since you told me you had gotten 215 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.559 it and demoed it? Right, Yes, I was pretty bent 216 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.919 on anyone right. I was like, this is gonna speed 217 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.960 up my process so much because I was using I 218 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.440 had at the time. I have just the the V 219 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.279 six hundred, the EPSOM V six hundred flatbed, which is 220 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.159 which is a really good flatbat Scanner's one of the 221 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.039 probably one of the top flatbat scanners you can get. 222 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.200 But it's impossible because it you can only scan like 223 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.559 four four x six is at a time. Oh yeah, 224 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.440 and if you scan at three hundred dpi, it still 225 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.960 takes five to six minutes to scan those four and 226 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.399 then that's all you get and then you have to 227 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.279 manually save them and it's a pain. So you had said, Hey, 228 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.200 check out this scanner that I got. I demoed at 229 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.960 your show on TV, and I waited, I waited, I waited, 230 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.399 and finally I pulled the trigger to bought one. 231 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.080 Yeah. 232 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.200 And they're not cheap, right, I mean yeah, I think 233 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.120 total from BNH photo it was like five twenty five 234 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:49.559 or something. 235 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:50.440 This thing is awesome. 236 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.960 Yeah it I'll send a video and you can put 237 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:59.480 on the blog. It scans at six hundred dpi. A 238 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.679 photo was second. 239 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.399 Yeah wow, and even more if you're doing a three 240 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.720 hundred deep if you're doing three hundred depey. 241 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.919 It's like it's like half a second. Scan scan, scan, scan, 242 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:13.840 Its just spits them out. So I have my grandfather, 243 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.039 my grandparents photo collection, you know, I this We've talked 244 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.639 about this extensively throughout the history of the show, right 245 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.080 the last since twenty nineteen, since I started this project, 246 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:27.440 and I had a ton of decades worth of loose 247 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.000 four by six is with no negatives to scan. I 248 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.039 just they lost the negatives. The negatives were bundled up 249 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.039 with other pictures, et cetera, et cetera. So I had 250 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.919 gone through and had sorted it by by decade by year, 251 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.360 So the eighties, the nineties, the two thousands, of the 252 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.360 twenty tens, et cetera. 253 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.440 This was a lot of prep that you had already 254 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.759 done or you had to do that. 255 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.679 No, this was already done because I didn't want it. 256 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.399 I wasn't gonna sit there and scan these three four 257 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.480 at a time like I was. I'd done it for 258 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.639 a couple of days back in the like when I 259 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:57.440 first started. 260 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.320 I was like, this sucks. Yeah, it really sucked. 261 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.080 You lay them in, you flip it down a scan okay, wait, 262 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.720 flip it up, take them out. Then you're goobing up 263 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.399 the glass and you gotta wipe it out here your time. 264 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:14.799 I blew through thirty eight hundred photos in the last week. 265 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.080 Wow, lord, Wow, that is a. 266 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.480 Lot just sitting there and you know, on my on 267 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.399 my nights, or you know, just during the days I 268 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.600 had off from work or whatever. You know, you bundle 269 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.120 up sixty or seventy photos in a stack. It's a 270 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.679 about two inch stack of photos. You line them up 271 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.559 in the thing you line you know, you put the 272 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:37.600 guides together and you hit scan and he just goes scan, scan, scan. 273 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:39.480 It's scanning a photo a second. 274 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.279 Now are you scanning it to? Now? Some people will 275 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.639 scan and use their phone app to gather the photos. 276 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.759 You're scanning to a computer, right is it? 277 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.440 I'm just scanning directly to I have a Mac Pro 278 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.200 that I've got. I've got a little work station set 279 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.960 up with this scanner pugged in and it's going great. 280 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.200 I mean, it's cool because you can can prompt you 281 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.039 every time you start a batch photos, so you can 282 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.399 give it give it a name, a date, a month, 283 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.720 the time of the year, or just a name for 284 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.840 the file, et cetera. And going through it. There are 285 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.960 some some frustrations that I had some good things about it, 286 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.159 and like the good thing is you can have it 287 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.759 auto edit your images auto Yeah, just do a quick 288 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:26.000 processing like red eye reduction. If it comes in crooked, 289 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.720 it'll fix the crookedness. It'll do a little bit of 290 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.120 like contrast. 291 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.320 Wait, so what if what if you have photos from 292 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.440 the old days of you have the photo Matt and 293 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.960 maybe they're you know, take them with a one ten 294 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.879 and the color is just not as Chris, but all 295 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.840 of the pictures have that same kind of look to it. 296 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.879 Can it adjust all of those then in that batch. 297 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.480 It can, Yeah, it'll it scans them and then when 298 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.159 you're done scanning, you can either load more photos and 299 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.399 scan to the same batch or tell it to finish 300 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.879 and it'll process. It takes about two or three minutes 301 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:02.360 to process about sixty photos. I don't like the auto 302 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.559 the fixes. They were not good. They were some were poor, 303 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.200 some were good. So then sorting through, okay, it gives 304 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.039 you two files. It gives you the original, gives you 305 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.759 the edited ones. So it gives you file one a 306 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.639 file one B file two a file two B file, 307 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.240 So you have to go through and I don't filtering 308 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.960 through those is kind of a pain. So I did 309 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.159 scan a lot of them like that were their doubles. 310 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:29.799 But then I was just like, I'm not liking the results. 311 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.360 So I just ended up just eventually, after probably eleven 312 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.240 hundred photos, I just stopped doing the the edits. I'll 313 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.000 go through, I'll go through the light room and edit 314 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:39.919 them if I want to, Like, I'll take care of 315 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.120 that anymote. Some of the other cool features that are 316 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.720 on this is my grandma was very good about writing 317 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.399 details on the backs of the photos. 318 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:51.120 So what do you do in that point? 319 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.000 This will scan the front and the back at the 320 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:55.639 same time. 321 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.519 Oh, I didn't I didn't know that. And you can. 322 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.679 Go in and you can tweak the to be more aggressive, 323 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.440 meaning if it detects a little bit of handwriting, it 324 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.039 might not scan it, or you can make it less 325 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.440 aggressive to where it will scan the entire back even 326 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.440 if there's no handwriting on it, so it scans the 327 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.840 front and the backs at the same time if you 328 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.320 tell it to. You can automatically tell it to, which 329 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.200 is great because then it scans and then you get 330 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.759 two pictures. It basically gives you, you know, file one A, 331 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.320 File one B. 332 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.960 In that person in that person's writing, which I don't 333 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.320 know about you, but that's something special as well, to 334 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.639 have a grandparent or parents handwriting. You're seeing them. 335 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.399 Yeah, actually we're leeh and I are dealing with that 336 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:47.679 right now. One of actually she found her grandfather's handwriting 337 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.159 and got it inverted as a tattoo. 338 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.159 Because one of. 339 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.919 His big phrases was always you be good to you. 340 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:56.000 And she got that. 341 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.399 So anytime she looks at it in the mirror, it 342 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.399 always says that to her. Now, were going through all 343 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:07.559 of her paternal grandmothers photos, documents, everything, desperately trying to 344 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.279 find something of her handwriting so that we can use 345 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.559 that too. She wants to possibly create another tattoo from that. 346 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.360 But yeah, it being able to actually have that digitized 347 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.600 and stored and saved is that's amazing. 348 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:22.480 That is cool. Yeah. 349 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.200 So and it'll do like it does just more than 350 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.120 four by six I think it can. Only it only 351 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:31.159 has a specific like thickness it can do like it 352 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:35.279 can barely do postcards. But it'll do postcards. So front 353 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.120 and backs of postcards, because my grandparents sent and received 354 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.519 a lot of postcards from my family growing up. They 355 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.159 have a ton of postcards that I scan and skate 356 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.080 saved the front and the backs of all the postcards. 357 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.120 So it's just was a really cool process, right the 358 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.919 one caveat I will say, if you're doing a lot 359 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.600 of pictures in a short amount of time, you have 360 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.240 to open it and clean the scanning surface. 361 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.919 Did you have did you have some jams. 362 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:02.360 Is some jams, and then if you have to take 363 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.000 photos out of albums, they're in plastic sleeves. That plastic 364 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.880 leaves a residue on the surface of the film. Also, 365 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.680 the emulsion from the film is sticky, right that it's 366 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.200 so as you scan, if you don't open it up 367 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.599 and take some I p A and scrub it across. 368 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.119 Not beer, just I scroll alcohol. 369 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.880 I was like, really, what kind of what kind of beer? 370 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.400 I was gonna say, would you you don't want to 371 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:28.599 use a hazy for that? 372 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:28.839 Right? 373 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:31.480 An amber. 374 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.839 Because it's got two elements in there, up front and 375 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.240 the back. And one of the albums that I had 376 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.839 taken apart was you had stuck them on in the 377 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.359 album with the adhesive like they came like that from 378 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.400 the store. But at one point I had pulled all 379 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.079 that off, so as it was going through, it was 380 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.599 rubbing that adhesive across there, and it was I ended 381 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.160 up looking at the pictures and most of them had 382 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:01.119 streaks because it was rolling through and then just rubbing 383 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.000 off on the glass. 384 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.759 So how often would you do that? I did? 385 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.799 I started doing it after every batch, so I would 386 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:09.680 do like sixty to eighty photos and then I would 387 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.079 clean it because then you get debris, You get oil 388 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.759 from your fring, oil from the fingertips. Oil. You know, 389 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:17.680 it just got gummed up like it. So I just 390 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.640 took hundred percent cotton lint free pad, ninety nine percent 391 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.960 alcohol scrupscub, scrub, done, grinston repeat. 392 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.000 So wow, how much time would you say this saved? 393 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:29.519 Saved you? 394 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:32.440 Oh?

I scanned so many photos and this 397 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:43.480 also because I had some free time I wanted. Okay, 398 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.200 So now I had these files. I had all these 399 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.400 folders with the different years, the different days, and they 400 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.000 were all just in one big directory. So that I 401 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.200
