Hello,  did you know the president of indonesia released 3 pop albums while president?

Thats pretty crazy.

that is crazy, do you think Trump would do that?

He would probably do a duet with Kanye since theyre friends haha

Oh geez,  I really hope not!

I don't like Kanye West.

I wonder trump has any musical talent though, I guess its possible.

haha ya that's true, do you listen to the radio?

I guess Jupiter has radio storms that you can pick up on our AM radio

not regularly.
have you heard it before?

no I haven't but I want to now!
I wonder what statino it would be haha

i hear there is a station u can listen to free classic drama episodes for free.

ya I wonder if there's anything good on there, have you ever heard canadian radio?

I guess forty percent of all radio must be of canadian origin, that doesn't sound good to me haha

yeah i know right.

I hope 40 % canadian music doesnt consist of all justin bieber stuff lol

lol ya like bieber, celine dion, Rush, I don't know anything after that, I wish I could make a radio out of a razor and a pencil like they did in WW2, I wonder how that works

yeah that is really clever,  I dont even know how a rdio works lol

haha me neither, would you listen to the finnish radio station that plays news in classical latin?

I'd rather listen to the Jupiter radio personally haha

I dont understand latin so I dont think I would listen to it lol

ya I don't understand Jupiter radio but it woudl probably be more interesting to me haha, do you use facebook at all?

Yes,  I do use Facebook.

well apparently myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook back in 2005, it was only for 75 mil, I bet they're kicking themselves now

Yeah that is crazy!

Crazy and dumb lol I think they had multiple offers from facebook too

haha very dumb, did you hear that the like button is illegal in that one German state, like I wonder why?

how could an internet button be illegal haha

I dont know,  they must have something against a "thumbs up"  I wonder if they have hitch hikers?

lol

haha yes maybe that is why!

can you believe that Iceland is using facebook to rewrite their government constitution?

seems like an odd way to go about that.

How much are your friendships worth?

Burger king had a promo if you unfriend 10 friends you get a free whopper!!

lol well its been nce chatting.


Hello.
How are you doing.

Hello there, well thank you, I hope you are too.

Do you use facebook?

Yeah.

Probably not as much as the normal person does.

but I do use it from time to time.

How about you.

Yeah I used to a lot more, but I still use it to stay in touch with friends.

`Its just crazy how facebook has grown to be such a big part of peoples lives.

I remember back in the day when Myspace was the thing.

Did you ever have a Myspace.

I think I might have set up an account and never gone back to use it ever again, they had a chance to not become obsolete but missed it.

Yeah I would say buying facebook for 75 million would have been a good deal for them.

they missed that boat.

Agreed, would have been the steal of a lifetime but you never know how things will pan out.

Yeah They may have ran it right into the ground.

That is also true, sometimes that does happen when one company takes over another.

Well the way it did pan out facebook has became prettty popular these days.

It was worth over 104 billion in 2012 Probably triple that by now.

That is crazy how much they are worth, I remember posting on facebook when their stock hit $19, and said, 'who's buying?

Yeah.

You should have bought a few stocks huh.

Yeah I should have bought a lot of bucks worth lol.

It was over $200 earlier this summer.

I have just never been one to put my life out there on facebook for everyone to see.

I dont know maye Im weird like that.

Yeah I am the same, and I wonder what young children who get their pics posted by their parents will say when they never had a say in it?

I would say the kids will grow up that way and never think anything of it.

That will just be the way of life for everything to be in the publics eye if you will.

Yeah that is true, they don't know what it's like to live a private life most likely.

Nope my 13 year old daughter constantly has her nose in her phone.

When i was 13 I didnt even know what a cell phone or a computer was hardly.

Right, I didn't get my first cell phone until I was over 20, I remember using the old rotary phones.

Yeah I was 19 when I got my first phone and me and my brother had to share one.

Lol.

We also had to pay the bill.

Kids these days dont know nothing about that.

Lol.

Well Im gonna have to be going dfgot a lot of stuff to get done today.

Right, sounds good it was nice talking with you today.


Hey there what do you think about the President?

Also have you ever visited the White House?

Well I don't really follow politics and no, I have not visited the white house.

I would like to see it and the guest house which is bigger than the white house.

Yes I want to see that too.

I visited the White House when I was a kid.

I don't remember seeing the Guesthouse though, so I can't say if it is actually bigger.

But I have heard that it is.

Have you heard of the president of Indonesia?

Yes, I have been to Indonesia.

I hear he doesn't only do his presidential duties though, he also is a musician?

Yes that's what I heard too.
He released three pop albums.
I wonder how good they were?
Will you listen to them LOL?

Haha, I probably will not listen to them.

Well maybe out of curiosity.

Do you think the runner up of an election should be vice president?

I think they do that in Indonesia.

So interesting.

I don't, I think that would have been a disaster with Vice President Clinton and President Trump LOL.

I can only see bad things happening from that, I'm glad that they changed that real back in 1805, what about you?

Haha, I think it would be interesting but probably not the best idea.

I thought Trump was one of the richest presidents but maybe not.

Yeah I thought that too.

It's shocking that it's actually JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.

You would think that Trump would be up there, I wonder if this is adjusted for inflation?

Right, I bet it did adjust for inflation.

Maybe the list is outdated too.

Do you follow Trump on Twitter?

No I don't follow  him on twitter.

I don't use Twitter personally haha.

What about you?

I also have a Facebook account I don't use that either haha

Yeah I use Facebook a little but try not to as much.

It's cool that Iceland is rewriting their constitution via Facebook.

Maybe I would use it more if we did something like that.

That is interesting.

I wonder how they prevent just anyone from making bad editions though haha.

Did you ever do the Facebook Burger King campaign?

Which campaign is that?
I don't believe so.

It's the one where you unfriend 10 people and in return Burger King gets you a free Whopper LOL.

Apparently the person that you unfriend also gets a message, they would get sent that you valued their friendship at 1/10 the value of a whopper lol

Ha!

Well that would be useful for me.

Maybe we need to ban Facebook.

Facebook's like button is illegal in Sclewig-Holstein.

That is interesting.

I wonder why they banned it.

Can you believe that Myspace turn down an offer to buy Facebook, only seventy-five million seems like a bargain today, but how would you know that back in the day

Wow, bet they are regretting that now!

I was hesitant to move to Facebook from Myspace because I thought it was boring, such a lack of color.

Haha that's a good point.

What's weird is that Facebook is blue for a reason.

It's because Mark Zuckerberg is actually colorblind, and so he can't really distinguish between the colors red or green

Oh, well that makes a lot more sense.

Sometimes I wish we could go back to the simple days of listening to the radio.

I'd like to learn how to make a foxhole radio like WWII soldiers did.

Yeah I wish I knew how to do that.

It would be useful to make a radio out of a pencil and a razor blade haha I don't even know how that's possible, they sure were talented back then


Hi!

Did you know that the first president of Zimbabwe, was called "President Banana"?

Funny, I wonder how he/she got that name?

Did you know there is missing journalist in Turkey?

I did not.
Do you know why?

Turkey is not fond of journalists from other countries.

But I don't know the details.

There are attacks going on over there from France and other hostilities.

Well, France did enact a law for catcalling.

Maybe with having to hand over the money immediately, will curb some of that aggressive behavior.

Sounds like a fair law to me.

The video of a guy attacking a woman in Paris went viral.

He threw an ashtray at her, and punched her in the face.

He deserves to rot in jail.

Yes.

It seems like there is violence everywhere.

Guatemala is no exception...

The police surrounded an MS-13 gang leader named Cabrera and he shot himself.

That's one way to keep from going to jail.

It's interesting that trump isn't among the wealthiest presidents.

Even JFK is richer than he.

I'm wondering if that is correct.

I think his dad was rich (Joe Kennedy) but not JFK.

His dad became rich bootlegging booze during prohibition.

I can't believe the press glamorizes the Kennedy's.

His dad did more than that, and so have the Kennedy family.

They are worthy of the praise.

Washington is richer than he is though.

Worthy of the praise?

Maybe our leaders should play more music.

The press of Indonesia has 3 pop albums.

If you take the time to delve into their contributions to society, you will be surprised.

If you take a look at what they did in their private lives, you will be disgusted.

Ted was a real scum bag.

He literally got by with manslaughter.

Do you use Facebook?

I do not, as it is overrun with conspiracy theorists.

I deleted my account during the Burger King promotion.

The fact that Ted's date drown and he did nothing but CYA is not a theory.

Iceland uses Facebook for rewriting their constitution.

Pretty clever...

lol.

Exactly why I avoid Facebook.

I keep trying to pick up a radio storm from Jupiter.

So far, no luck.

They must not be happening while I am driving.

lol.

Maybe you can contact them and complain.

Did you know soldiers in WW I made radios with razor blades and pencils?

I would probably cut myself...

I did.

My grandfather showed me how they made their foxhole radios.

Cool.

Did you listed to classic radio dramas with him on the internet?

I did not.

He passed in the early 80's.

He would have loved those, though.

along with the Finnish station that broadcasts entirely in Latin.

Thanks for the chat.


How are you today?
Do you listen to the radio?

I do!
Do you?

I used to.
I don't listen much now.
I usually use the Internet.

If you are defining radio as the actual use of FM and AM, then no, I never listen.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and sportify.

I also listen to XM.

Broadcast radio is not really going to compete against other sources of audio.

I agree.

I know a lot of radio stations are following the way of the newspaper... consolidate for economies of scale.

Yes.

The internet is the way to go.

the audience is on the phone or on the net.

not on the radio

Agreed.

There's even a website you can go to to listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio!

I think that it's great to have repositories of old shows, but I wonder who listens to them.

I am not sure but they probably do not play in canada.

They have to play 40% canadian music.

i guess the government in canada wants to protect their local talent.

with the internet now, i dont think they can.

I now the canadian football league has to have like 60% canadian born players.

Yes, they want to keep jobs for the guys.

i think that the fans want to see the best players possible.

the leagues in europe do that.

Football leagues?
Or soccer?

Soccer.
lots of foreign talent.
the play is high level.

They have a minimum amount of native players they have to have?

I never knew that.

Hm?

no, i mean that in europe there are no restrictions.

sorry.

maybe i didnt make that clear.

in japan they have lots of restrictions.

in the us, no.

Good to know.
Thanks for clarifying.
Im not smart so it's on me.
Do you like soccer?

yes, i do.

its the most democratic of sports.

minimal equipment, men and women, young and old.

Who's your favorite team?

dont have one, but i try to watch the world cup.

the level of play is so high.

its great.

anyway, great chat!

Ditto!
Take care.


hi, do you listen to the radio?

I prefer to listen to music online.

speaking of which, there is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

That is cool.
Do you ever listen to them?

I haven't yet.

speaking of classical things, a finnish radio station broadcasts a weekly news program in classical latin.

Wow.

I would not understand a word of it.

Did you know you can listen to Jupiter's stors in am radio?

Interesting.

that sounds like it would be annoying, haha.

if you are in canada, all radio need to have at least 40 percent of the music played be canadian.

I guess they really like to support local and national talent

yeah, speaking of music from foreign countries, the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office

Wow, a star president.

good for them.

Do you know who the wealthiest presidents in the us were?

i have heard jfk, washington and jefferson so i guess that accounts for inflation.

yeah , to think trump is not in there, pretty surprising

I would feel rich if I were staying in the president's guest house.

it's bigger than the white house!

Yeah they must get a lot of guests.

Do you know what the president of zimbabwe was called?

President banana.
i wonder why!

Yeah me too, I wonder if it means something else in their language

Speaking of odd things relating to presidents, Ronald Reagan was rejected for a movie role once because he didn't have the "presidential look" according to an entertainment executive.

Wow, well at least he became a president in real life.

good for him

Yeah, and I believe he was a successful actor too.

Bill Nye got his break by winning a steve martin lookalike contest

Hahah that is so funny.
Did you ever play nintendo?

Yes, I did.

I had the original, which only could display 54 colors

Yeah that is so cool.
nice chatting with you.


do you know much about presidents?

I know some stuff.

Do you know who the wealthiest three in the US are?

Yes that is JFK, Washington and Jefferson.

Yes.

Do you know what the first president of Zimbabwe was called?

Yes he was called president Banana

Yeah.

I wonder if that means something else in their language too

I wonder too.

Did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?

I guess they get a lot of people there and need the room

Yeah I guess.

Do you know how the VP used to be elected?

Yes that was the runner up that moved into that position

Yeah.

Did you know the president of Indonesia is a pop star?

Yes and he has released three albums so far

Yesh what a guy.
Do you like Nintendo?

I love it, too bad it was discontinued in 2003

Yes, it only had 54 colors but it was a lot of fun

Yeah I agree.
Do you know who Bill Nye is?

Yes the science guy.
You know how he got into entertainment?

Yes he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest

Yeah.

Even Reagan once tried his hand at acting but did not go very well

Yes they said that he did not have the presidential look for the film

I guess he had the look to be a real president so that is okay with him I assume.

Nice chat


Before Trump, had you ever heard of Breitbart News?

No, I hadn't, I'm guessing you hadn't either?

It sounds like a news site devoted to politics?

I think today it is highly political.

It was started by Andrew Breitbart to fight media bias.

It got hijacked by Bannon.

Apparently.

I never heard of Bannon before all the drama, but I know a lot of the old editors are happy he left.

I wonder how he managed to stay working there so long?

Yes, people are coming out of the wood work saying Bannons gone, "A good day".

So this news outlet had fame from Bannon, now what.

It sort of looks like Trump was the reason they fired Bannon, it's amazing how much pull a president has!

He thought Brannon had lost his mind.

Yes, the influence exerted by Trump on the media is a concern.

But, I will not loose any sleep of Bannon disappearing from the world stage.

Yes, me neither.

It came as a surprise to me when I learned that Trump wasn't one of the three wealthiest presidents in American history!

I believe Trump makes claims.

When its tax time he claims poor.

When needing a loan or investors he claims wealth.

I would rather listen to a list of George Washington's assets.

I agree that he does do that.

Did you know that the president's guest house is larger than the White House?

I thing that makes sense.

The white house has thick walls, and it was built long ago.

I wonder what the other wealthy presidents listed on their taxes.

JFK and Jefferson.

Were taxes collected back when Washington was president?

I'm not sure when the IRS started doing it's thing...

It's unbelievable that Washington, Jefferson, and JFK were wealthier than some of our more modern-day presidents.

Well, I know JFK came from money, but I wasn't aware that the other two were so wealthy!

The purpose of the government in Washington's day was to raise an army.

It needed income to do so.

It would be neat if JFK has put out a pop song album.

LOL, like the president of Indonesia?

I wonder if he has a large fan base to release three albums?!

Indonesian president must be popular, or own the record label.

Three albums.

I like to hear my self talk and sing.

Right, maybe he just has a huge ego?

I would think that a guy named Top Banana had a huge ego when elected president of Zimbabwe.

You mean Zimbabwe's President Banana?

I think that is just so funny!

That to me says the guy has a sense of humor, and is maybe humble - since he doesn't insist on his name being used.

I bet he is a nice guy.
Do you know who Steve Martin is?

The comedian?

Yeah - and I'm a fan of his musical albums!

He can play the banjo.

Which is whack.

Whats funnier is Bill Nye the science guy got into entertainment by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.

Hey time to go.

What the????

THAT'S house Bill Nye got into entertainment!

I have to go look this up - thanks for the info.

Have a wonderful day!


A 90 day suspension isn't as harsh a punishment as some of those people have been getting.

Yeah, it does seem to soft for such a respected News Paper

I'm not familiar with him, but I guess he does good work, according to his credentials here.

That must be why.

They don't want to lose his work.

Me, neither.

Still, this should not be a reason to tolerate such behavior.

Considering that the Post has been one of the leaders in exposing it

Yeah, exactly.

Any other workplace, and the offender would be out of a job instantly.

Yes, that's my train of thought.

Reserving such a special treatment for him only diminishes the value of future articles on the subject.

It absolutely does.

It's hard to condemn something if they don't do the right thing when it happens in their house.

Yes, same thing that the Times did with their reporter.

Netflix at least removed Kevin Spacey right away from their shows.

That's a company doing it the right way

Yeah, and they even did another season of his show without him, to wrap it up for the viewers.

That's a lot better than just dropping it and acting like it never happened.

Yeah, you got give Netflix the props deserved for such action.

This actions by the news papers show a lack of morality.

Not to mention integrity.

If a punishment is good for one offender, it has to be good for all offenders.

Regardless of their talents.

Yes, absolutely correct.

It is mentioned in that the Post is considering termination as well.

This is all based on verbal misconduct not physical.

Maybe that's why the leniency

That's a good point.

There's a big difference between verbal and physical.

It's kinda hard to judge without knowing the details.

Yes, it does make it difficult.

It is a difficult topic since it is getting harder and harder to figure out what is appropriate behavior.

And most of this people that are accused are used to a different work culture

That's the biggest thing, I think.

A lot of things that might have been harmless jokes in the past are considered serious offenses by some people now.

It's all about knowing the people around you, I suppose.

Yeah, I agree.

The present workplace has become very conscious and delicate.

Like did you read the fact how soldiers used to make radios in WW2.

Now everything is a tweet or post away

Yeah, things have definitely become more simple.

I wouldn't know where to start making a radio if I just had a razorblade and pencil on hand.

Haha, me neither.

We have become spoiled by technology.

That is curios though to see how they actually made the radio, and what quality it had

It definitely is.

I imagine the quality wasn't great, but it's pretty amazing if it even worked.

Yes, and I like the name foxhole radios.

Now we can stream High definition images on our cellphones.

Entertainment has definitely changed as well

It has, and gets more advanced every day!

Yes, a long way from when Cesar found out about the chicken in Britan

I imagine the chickens prefer being entertainment over food!

Haha,


Hello!

Do you like entertainment like movies and music?

Yes I love those forms of entertainment.

I love how it gives audiences pleasure and delight!

It really does.

Did you know Bill Nye got his start in a Steve Martin lookalike contest?

I didn't know that I always wondered how he got his start.

Did you also know that Ronald Reagan was an actor before?

I did know that.

I never saw any of his movies though.

He's not even one of the wealthiest presidents ever!

Yeah surprising.

Looks like JFK, Washington, and Jefferson take the cake!

I wonder who the President was that decided the guest house should be bigger than the white house itself?

Yeah I would like to know more about that as well.

I also want to her the Indonesian president's pop albums lol.

Me too.

I think he has 3 albums that have been released!

Yeah so funny to me.

I wonder what his rap name is.

Hopefully its better than Zimbabwe's presidents name (banana)!

That would be a bad name though lol.

It probably sounds better than Jupiter's radio storms!

Yeah I bet you are right.

I also bet it sounds better than the sound generated by those foxhole radios.

I bet so too!

I don't understand how a razor blade and pencil can make one.

Yeah those soldiers must have been a combination of smart and desperate!

I agree!

Have you ever listened to radio dramas?

There is a website where you can listen to them all for free.

Yeah that would be nice.

Don't know if I could give up Netflix for that!

I also wouldn't want to listen to that Latin radio show in Finland!

I wouldn't want to either!
The radio is crazy how it works though.

Yeah agreed.

Using all those waves and electromagnetic energy with changing frequency and amplitude.

Very complicated!

So complicated!

Speaking of complicated, Canada's laws says the radio needs to be at least full of 40 percent of songs by Canadians.

Haha good for the Canadian artists but bad for everyone else!

They must blast Bieber and Drake!

and don't forget about Rush!
I bet they all know the lyrics.
Well have a good one!


Hi there, do you watch football?

I sometimes watch it.

I didn't get a chance to watch the SB this year.

You?

I watched some of it without realizing that there are only 11 minutes of game play in it

That is quite short.

Those guys makes a great salary on a per minute basis.

THat is very true, yet over the lifetime they make  less than en engineer

Engineers have valuable skills.

And fewer injuries and concussions.

I would recommend that kids get into engineering.

Yup for sure.

Did you hear about strange rule about New Orleans cheerleaders?

What is the rule?
Cheerleaders have rules?

Well there is this strange rule where they cannot eat in the same restaurant with the players

What, why?
It's just a restaurant, a public place.
What could go wrong?

I know and the worst is that they have to walk out midmeal if a players walks in.

SO sexist

I think it's an outdated rule.

Probably the players don't like it either.

I wonder what lead to its creation.

I wonder too really.

On the cool side of things, they use trackers on the pads of the players to track various things now

I think thats a good way to plan strategy.

How are the players moving?

Plus maybe help understand how injuries occur.

Yeah exactly, quite beneficial.

Did you know Kellan Moore is the only QB in NFL that is left handed?

Why only one lefty?

Tthat seems strange.

Is it a problem for the offense to adjust?

I thought other QBs had been lefties and won.

Yeah it seems strange.

DO you know who invented the circular huddle?

I thought the huddle was a basic part of the game.

Yeah and it was invented by Paul Hubbard who was deaf and the other team could not read the gestures

Smart thinking.

I'm amazed that a deaf QB could do well in a game with hearing players.

He must have been awesome at QB.

I know that is genius.
Nice chatting with you


do you like the NFL?

I do.
Do you know who Kellan Moore is?

i am not too familiar with him.
Do you like Brady?

I do, Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB

WOw cool.
Brady was a back up QB in high school

I guess he started early.
DO you know who Brad Johnson is?

I have heard of him.

Yeah and they did not start him even when they were doing really bad

That is their loss though as he is a great player

Exactly.
Did you know women can play in the NFL?

Did not know that, has any ever played before?

I do not think so but there is no rule that prevents them from playing

Cool.

Did you hear they are placing chips on the players now?

Why is that, what are they collecting?

Yes they are collecting velocity and speed and a bunch of other stuff

Nice I wonder if they can use that data to make the game safer

Good point.

Did you know Matt Patricia used to be a rocket scientist before becoming a coach?

That is such a career jump but good for him

Yeah.

Did you know the first play off game was played in 1932?

WOw that was a long time ago, that is amazing

I know.
It was nice chatting with you

Same here, have a good one


Hi, how are you?

Good, how about you?
Do you watch much football?

I am well, thanks.
I do watch a lot of football.
Do you watch football?

I watch it occasionally.
Didn't actually watch the Super Bowl.
Do you know what an RPO is?

I do know it is a run pass option.

It usually leaves the QB vulnerable for big hits though...

Ah, that's not such a good thing.

Did you know the circular huddle was devised by a deaf quarterback?

Alex Smith entered Utah as a Junior becuase he took so many AP classes in high school.

How smart!

Then he was drafted first overall.
Amazing!

That same year a Utah basketball player was drafted number 1 overall too.

First time that happened and UTAH did it!

Wow!

There has only been one left handed quarterback in the NFL.

That is right.

Baker Mayfield once considered quiting football to become a professional gamer!

Some good money can be made at that these days.

How things have changed!

In the 18th century, there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of reading novels.

Wow.

I just heard a podcast where magic the gathering players get $75K per year and then a share of whatever they win!

Wow!

yeah, that's a decent living.

Wonder how much time they spend in front of the computer per day?

The NFL has no rule against female players... WHo knew!

I guess they just have to meet league eligibility requirements.

Haven't there been female kickers at the college level?

I do not think so but I am not sure.

I think seeing huge male player tackling a smaller female player could be unsettling.

Agreed.

But I wouldn't be surprised if someday there's a female player.

Did you know the NFL tracks player's every move via chips in their shoulder pads?

I wouldn't be surprised either.

There are some females on semi-pro teams.

I know a girl who works for that chip company.

The stats and data that come out of that must be interesting!

Crazy that during an nfl game there is usually only 11 minutes of live gameplay.

yeah.

It's a 60 minute game with only 11 minutes of game time.

Nice chatting with you!


Hello, are you particularly a fan of football?

I am, How are you?
Do you like football?

I do!

I think it can be too slow though, there's actually only 11 minutes of gameplay every NFL game.

That's crazy!

I hear they're going to be putting tracking chips in the padding of the players.

It's cool though isn't it?

They're not as socially advanced as they are technological though.

For example Saints cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in after they're already there.

Yeah i guess that's to deter employee fraternization.

Ahh but it could still be seen as sexist.

And you wouldn't expect it coming from the league that actually allows female athletes in general.

Your right, I agree!

No written rule at all.

An engineer in his lifetime will make more than the lifetime of a nfl player.

Yeah that's surprising!

I thought they make a lot more.

I'm sure Tom Brady makes a lot.

He probably deserves it, after going a winless season in high school.

Yeah the Patriots have been fortunate.

They produced a RB with no fumbles his entire career with them.

That's amazing!

I wonder if he ever received recognition for it, I know people often do.

ESPN won an Emmy for the creation of the yellow first down line.

That was a good creations in my opinion.

Did you know the circular huddle was designed originally for a deaf quarterback.

I didn't know that!

A lot of quarterbacks are unique I guess.

There's actually only one left handed quarterback in the NFL.

I know you think the would have produced more.

I wonder if there's more to that.

Baseball has quite a few lefty's.

I wonder if baseball has competitive gamers too.

Like quarterback Baker Mayfield considered quitting football to full time pursue gaming instead.

Yeah i wonder if he regrets that choice..not!

Alex Smith was quite the Academic in High school all they way up to becoming the 2005 nfl overall draft pick.

He was definitely beyond qualified to be a quarterback.

On the other hand, Ronald Reagan once got rejected from a movie role because they didn't think he had a "presidential look".

Wow how ironic!

I hear Trump is not even one of the top 3 wealthiest President's.

That's surprising!

I'm sure that's by inflation though.

A lot of things don't seem amazing but really are.

Like the Nintendo entertainment system only displays 54 colors in theories but you'd never notice it.

No i didn't technology has come a long way.

Apparently they just discontinued them in Japan in 2003.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how much further it can improve.

Anyways it was nice chatting with you, have a good day!

You as well.

On a passing note Bill Nye won a contest for best Steve Martin look a like.

That's certainly interesting to know, good way to get a break in entertainment!


Did you know that Tom Brady was a backup quarterback for his high school team and the team lost every game and did not play him at all?

Really?

I did not know that.

What a cool fact knowing what he has accomplished now.

Yes that is amazing what he has accomplished.

It would be a great teaching tool for you athletes.

Absolutely.

Too many kids these days do not want to put in the hard work and effort that it takes to get to the levels of professional athletes.

They think it will just happen over night.

I did not know that the NFL uses tracking technology in the shoulder pads of football players to record every move on the field.

That is pretty amazing.

hmmm another tid bit of information that I was not aware of.

You are full of useful trivia knowledge.

Lol...there is also tracking chips in the footballs to track ball speed, rotation, velocity and location.

Maybe they could spend some more funding on making the game more lively.

there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay in a game.

One of the many reasons I can't stand football.

Yes I agree.

Maybe it should be like American soccer.

They should just play the game and not have so many clock stops.

yes!
that would be awesome

I guess entertainment is different to every person.

Some people might like to watch a slow football game, or others would prefer an opera, or dancing.

True.
All I know is it's not for me.

Yes I hear you on that.

Give me a nintendo though and I'm set.

To bad they discontinued them in September of 2003

Yes to bad.
It could only display 54 colors.
But it was a big hit.

sure was.

I remember playing it everyday after school when I was a kid.

Did you know that Baker Mayfield, a quarterback, almost didn't play professional football.

He wanted to be a full-time competitive gamer.

HA!
No way.
But he played Halo 3.
No thanks

Ha Ha Ha.

I know some people that play the Halo series.

Like I said before entertainment to one person is not entertainment to another person.

Like in Britian in 50 bc they bred chickens for entertainment

to each their own I suppose.

I have chickens here but they're not for entertainment.

They're for egg production and food.

LOL I would of made chicken nuggets with them if I was back in that time.

absolutely!
That would have been a much better use.

Maybe they could of had a big banquet with the chickens.

Some for eating and some for entertainment.


Hi, did you ever play with a Nintendo?

I did love my Nintendo - I have not played on it in years tho.

Did you know it only had 54 colors?

I did actually.

I seem to remember that it stopped being made around 2003?

Yes, it was a great console and so much fun to play with

Are you a football fan?

This season was great ending with the Super Bowl

I sure am .

Did you know women can play too in the NFL?

Yes I had heard that but it has never happened.

I would like to work for Matt Patricia - he is an actual rocket scientist

Wow that is pretty cool, what a career change that must have been

Yes - his school RPI  had the best fight song - it included sin cosine and tangent as well as 6 digits of pi

Haha that is so awesome.

There are only 11 minutes of live gameplay  in a game

Yes that is not very much - that must be why engineers make more than NFL players

Yup that makes sense.

They also have longer careers so maybe that helps a bit there too

Yes - did you know the first NFL playoff game was in 1932 on an 80 yard long dirt field?

Cool, did not know that.

Did you hear of that rule that New Orleans cheerleaders have to abide to?

That they have to leave the restaurant if a player walks in?

That is awful!

That sure is and I really think it is outdated and needs to go

Definitely - even though it is allowed I cannot see the Saints allowing a female player

I guess.
DO you like Brady?

Tom Brady is an amazing quarterback who has won 6 super bowls.

He sure is and there is no stopping the guy.

Nice chat


Do you watch NFL games?

Yes, out of all 32 teams my favorite is the Giants.

Do you watch football too?

Sometimes.

I was familiar with the Giants since I used to live in the Bat Area.

Nice, did you know tracking chips are embedded in players' shoulder pads?

No.

Does it meant that players need a small surgery?

No, it's just used to get stats such as player velocity, rotation, ball speed and location

I misunderstood.

I thought it was embedded in players' shoulders.

It would be illegal since they are not dogs.

If you pay me 500,000 a year you can embed a chip in my shoulder lol

You are funny.
So did the chips help?

I'm not sure, I'm sure the NFL uses them for safety concerns

Who is the best active QB?

Probably Tom Brady, he's won 4 super bowls

Quarterbacks have to be smart and must have leadership skills since they are leaders of offensive lines.

Tom Brady must have been very smart.

Yea but he was only a backup on his high school jv football team

Why was Junipero Serra high school well known?

The JV team failed to win a game or score a touchdown during a season Brady was on the team

I see.

So, it was because Tom Brady played football for the school.

Where is it located?

I'm not sure, maybe in California

Do you know that Alex Smith got a bachelor's degree in two years?

Yea, he took so many ap tests in high school and was already a junior when he entered college

Smart guy.
Anyway, I've got to run.
Nice chatting with you.


Did you happen to watch the NFL Pro Bowl?

Hello there, I didn't watch this year's but I have in the past.

How about you?

I did not.

But I just found out that one of the highlights of the game was not with the NFL players but their offspring.

Specifically, Drew Brees sons.

Did you happen to hear / read anything about it?

I heard the cameras caught them playing around and the oldest son put a hard tackle on one of his other brothers right?

Seems like.

Supposedly it spilled onto the field and got caught on camera.

That and the stern talking to from dad, NFL Saints QB Drew Brees.

Its not too often normal life spills into professional sporting events or live TV!

I think that is really funny, I'm glad the cameras were able to catch that!

True.

Its refreshing from some of the player antics!

What do you think of the NFL having a female referee officiate playoff games.

Personally, I glad to see the break-thru.

Do you think we will ever see the same with a female NFL player?

I agree, and I think it would be really cool if a female player did make it, I think it would open the doors to females being able to play in all sorts of leagues.

I would hope that it would force my NO Saints to kill the arcane rule that prohibits their cheerleaders for eating in any restaurant when NFL players are their first.

That is so outdated!

I couldn't agree more, so outdated!

The fact that they are required to leave if a player walks in is so stupid.

True.

I would be pretty upset if I had to pay for a meal that I was unable to finish because I had to leave midway.

What are your thoughts of tech in NFL football.

They have tracking in players shoulder pads and in the balls as well?

I think the advancements in tech are good for the game, especially some of the safety aspects.

I like the tracking chips in the football that reports velocity, rotation, speed, and location.

I think that data could be useful for training / feedback of quarterbacks.

Did you know Kellan Moore is the only left-handed QB in the NFL.

Do you think being left-handed QB has any advantages?

I didn't know that, I figure there would be more than one at least.

And, I'm not sure, I wonder how many left handed QB's have ever won a super bowl?

I do not know.

I cannot see any advantage like in baseball where left-handed is advantageous for the first base player.

I just learned that the NFL had a deaf quarterback, Paul D. Hubbard.

He started the circular huddle to shield his hand signals.

Its always refreshing to here someone excel against the odds.

Yeah Hubbard was awesome, I think he was one of the most interesting players to have ever played.

Are you much into video games, like playing Nintendo football?

I do like video games, but don't play as much as I used to, I would play Tecmo Super Bowl on Nintendo growing up.

How about you?

I grew up in a rural area about 40 miles from a sizable city.

So our entertainment was more live action, such as riding, roping, hunting, and fishing.

And, chasing the chicken destine to be supper.

Did you know that when Caesar visited Britain, he found the Brits bred chickens for entertainment, not food?

What kind of entertainment?

That sounds like an awesome childhood.

And that is really weird I would have no idea the entertainment value except maybe it would be funny to watch.

I hope that was for entertainment and not cock fighting which is thankfully illegal in the States.

What people do for entertainment can vary so much from live arts to recorded performances and from solo to group activities.

And how people get into entertainment can be strange.

Did you know Bill Nye "The Science Guy" got his break winning a Steve Martin look-a-like contest?

That is very true, and no I never heard that, but I'm sure glad he did!

It was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


Hi, do you like the NFL?

I love it.
Watch it every week during the season.
Im a Steelers fan.

Me too.
Boooo!
I'm a Bengals fan lol.

Im truly sorry to hear that.
Lol.

HAHA....it's all for fun.

Did you know the NFL has no written rule against females playing in the league?

maybe we'll see a female kicker.

I was thinking kicker as well and that's probably about it.

Did you know the average NFL game is only 11 minutes of live gameplay?

It seems like more than that.

I would think so too, but maybe not with all of the huddles and time in between plays.

Did you know the huddle was started by a deaf QB.

I did not know that.
Very cool though.

It is cool.
It was so they couldnt steal the plays.

That's funny.
I guess that works pretty well then.

his name was Paul D hubbard.

That's cool.

The NFL uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads.

Thats a really good idea.
All kind of info we can get from those.

I agree.

It says they track ball speed, velocity, location, and other data points.

did you know kellen moore is the only left handed b in the league.

Oh wow did not know that.
What about Michael Vick?

I think he is retired.

It was good talking to you!


Hello - what do you like to do for entertainment?

Hi yes I love entertainment!

I like the NFL it's as good entertainment as it gets!

The NFL has no written rule against girls playing!

That's pretty cool.

I wonder if a woman will join soon.

Pretty crazy the average game has only 11 minutes of live gameplay.

Yeah that is surprising...Football players actually don't make all that much money.

Over the course of a lifetime, engineers make more!

Yeah that is also surprising.

And the NFL uses tracking chips on the players and the footballs.

Oh that's cool.

Hopefully to get information on how to protect players more.

It is kind of interesting the New Orleans Saints cheerladers can't eat at the same restaurant as the players.

Yeah that is kind of a silly rule I think.

Agreed.

I also like to play video games and I used to have the original NES Nintendo.

It only could display 54 colors but it impressed me!

The NES was discontinued in 2003 in Japan.

I liked playing the NES also, I still have mine.

That's awesome!

Ronald Reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment exec said he didn't look presidential.

Little did he know...

That's funny.

And Bill Nye made it into the entertainment industry by winning a steve martin lookalike contest!

Oh wow interesting.

I think if I played football I would want to be the quarterback.

I would want to call plays in the huddle!

Oh cool - the huddle was created by Paul d. Hubbard.

He was deaf.

He used the huddle so that others teams couldn't read his hand signals!

That's a cool origin story of the huddle!

The QB Alex Smith got his degree in 2 years in college because he took so many AP classes!

That's pretty impressive.

Kellan moore is the only left-handed QB in the NFL.

Oh wow.

Yeah now that I think of it all QB's are right handed.

Tom Brady's highschool had a bad season when they never won a game or score a touchdown.

Brady was the back up and he didn't even play!

Hard to believe.

Yeah that is hard to believe - look at him now.

Football is a tough game.

They play for 17 weeks straight with only one week off during the season.

Yeah it is - I could never do it.

Well it has been nice talking to you - have a good day!

You as well!
Have a good day!


Hello, How are you?
Do you enjoy football?

I'm doing very well.
Thanks.
I do enjoy football a lot.
Who is your favorite team?

I like the New England Patriots, and have been going to the Tampa Bay Bucs for years!!

Who do you like?

I'm a big fan of the New England Patriots and we won the Super Bowl.

Yeah!!

Yes, I agree!!

I saw Tom Brady the next day at Walt Disney World in the parade!!

Very cool!

You did.

That is awesome.

Tom Brady is fantastic quarterback and a great guy.

Did you happen to watch this years Pro Bowl?

I had to watch it later as I was working!!

Did you know Tom Brady is the first and only quarterback to reach 200 regular season wins!

I did know this.

I love Tom Brady.

Did you know that Matt Patricia is the only rocket scientist coaching in the NFL?

Yes, I have heard of that!!
Very interesting,

Yeah!!

In fact he was working as an aeronautical engineer that graduated from rpi before becoming a coach.

Very smart!!

Did you know as far as loses the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills are equal?

No.
I didn't know this, very interesting.

Do you like avocado ice-cream?
Apparently Tom Brady loves it!!
lol

Yes I knew this about Tom Brady.

I have to try it myself.

I'm very sure it will taste great.

Do you happen to know who is the quarterback with the most wins inside the Cleveland Brown home stadium?

No who?

Tom Brady as a 16 season starter has the most in history for 8 Superbowls!

It is none other than Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Yay!!

Very cool!!

Isn't it interesting about how the circular huddle got started?

Paul Hubbard a deaf quarterback.

Wow!!

That is quite surprising to say the least.

Now when I watch them do the hand signals, I will think of him!!

Baker Mayfield loved that Halo 3 game!!

In college he felt no one could beat him!

I read that somewhere as well.

He was great at that game.

Do you know who is the only left handed quarterback in the NFL right now?

Yes, that would be Kellan Moore!!

Can you imagine never tasting a strawberry?

Tom Brady must have an allergy to it.

Good chat!

You're correct.

It was very nice chatting with you as well!!!

Bye

You too!

Have a great day!!

I think I have a Nintendo entertainment system somewhere in the house?

lol

Ha Ha!!!
Thanks.
You have a great day as well!!!
Bye

Ditto!!
Not surprised it only had 54 colors.

I know it had very few colors at the time.

You have a nice day and thanks for chatting with me!!

Bye

Bye!!
Discontinued in 2003....Bye

Have a nice day.
Bye


good morning.
How are you.

Fine.
What about you ?

Doing great here.

Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment and news.

After, second world war the black and white tv are come to human uses.

Yeah thank god they did huh.
How boring would it be without tv.

Antenna can be used to receive the signals in olden days now days we can use dish to receive signals.

I still use an antenna at my home get the local channels.

The huge cathode tube can be replaced by the flat screen LED, which is further developed into OLED.

to avoid eye irritating and have high picture quality.

Thats why tv picture quality has gotten so much better over the years.

Japan consumer company brought the Digital TV to the market using Remote to change the channel.

Today so many serials are available to see through TV.

I think it is just the most popular cereals you see on the tv.

You know frosted flakes and cheerios.

Lol.

Yes, Through ads, revenue comes to the TV channel and soon reach the people as faster.

True dat.
do you watch south park at all.

Car is wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation, safety carrying the people which is have new technology to have rear camera, disc braking system.

Awesome.
How do you know so much.
Cars also have trunks.

Most of the cars in 2010 have internal combustion engine.

Hydrocarbons fuels are cause the pollution in the environment.

So only electric cars are used in some part of the world to avoid pollution.

I would say over time that will get more steam and more people will have them.

I think they need to get cheaper.

Most the government is worried about the vehicle safety.

So the manufactures have adopt new safety techniques in the vehicles to safe guard the people inside it.

Safety is very important.

To avoid environment pollution some countries using Ethanol as fuel.

Some have using Electric cars.

very interesting.
Have a good one.


Do you still listen to the radio.
I don't as much as I used to.

Hi, same here.

I sometimes listen through the radio when I am in the car.

Now I am curious to listen to some unusual programs like one that is Broadcasted in Latin!

Have you ever heard about that?

I have not.

I wonder who the audience is for that since it is a dead language?

Exactly and it has been kind of succesful because it has been broadcast since 1989

Wow!

That's very strange.

Did you know that on an AM radio you can pick up Jupiter's radio storms because they are so strong?

No, i did not know that.

I think that is amazing , to think how far the signal comes from!

I agree.

Did you also know that you can make a radio with very little?

I do not know , but i imagine is not that complicated, how can it be done?

WWII soldiers could make them with a razorblade and pencil.

wow that is really simple!!

did you know if you listened to the radio in Canada , at least 40% of what you heard would be canadian music?

Is that by choice or is it some kind of law?

It is actually by law!

I think is an advantage for Canadian musicians

I can see how that would benefit them but I find it odd that it was such an issue that it had to be made a law.

I agree with you!

have you ever heard radio dramas?

My parents told me they were popular when they were kids!

I know that they were very popular before TV.

I wonder if they hold up?

I think is exciting because is like reading a book.

But I heard there is a website where you can listen for thousands of dramas for free, I would try that!

I would too.
Do you also watch a lot of TV?

Not that much, but there are a few shows I watched.

Among them is not Pokemon!

I hear that there have been an insane number of episodes for that cartoon.

more than 750!!!
that is too much.
I like the SImpsons much more

That is too much.

It does not seem like it's been on that long.

It was nice chatting with you.

Have a nice day.


Do you by chance follow Barbara Alston?
Did you like her music?

I haven't ever heard any of her songs, but I know of her.

What about you?

I know some of here songs, one of them is "Da Doo Ron Ron" and also had other hit songs.

Too bad she died.

I know, it's very sad!

I realize now that I have heard of one song, but I did not know that Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote it: "He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)".

I'm surprised that they would write that song, I know a little bit about their story from the Carole King musical "Beautiful" and that was surprising.

Yeah she did, she also sang "Theres No Other Like My Baby" this song was in the charts back in 1962 I think it was on place #20.

She was very successful and it's sad that she died from flu complications.

That family has experienced a lot of heartache recently, especially considering that their child Tony/Toni Alston was murdered in 2010, possibly for being transgender.

I heard about that he was shot in 2010 and the worst part is that his murder remains unsolved.

So sad to see how hate got Tony killed.

Hate gets a lot of people killed these days unfortunately.

That's why I like that we have television which can not only spread news but also spread humor and joy.

I love "Weekend Update" on SNL, I think it's a very humorous way to talk about some news that might otherwise be pretty dark.

And I love the Simpsons.

Do you know anything about the Simpsons?

I love The Simpsons, I am a big fan, did you know there is an episode where Bart doesnt appear?!

Wow, I did not know that, that's very surprising!

I sometimes think about how often there are guest stars/cameos of celebrities.

I especially found it funny when Daniel Radcliffe voiced Edward Cullen on the Simpsons' Twilight parody.

Have you seen that episode?

I havent seen that episode, I might google it later, whats it about, can you give me a short preview please!

I don't want to spoil it for you, you should look it up later though!

I wonder what would happen if they had made a Simpsons episode of the Crystals.

That would be very dramatic and informative.

Would you watch an episode like that?

I would sure watch it,who knows maybe there is one lol, I would like to watch Barbara Alston and the rest of the crew come to life again in The Simpsons.

Yes, me too!

I think they could make a really interesting plot with the drama around the producer (Phil Spector) and how he was later convicted of murdering Lana Clarkson!

Knowing The Simpsons, it would probably be a little distasteful but probably funny.

It would be funny!

so what other shows do you like to watch?

Maybe Pokemon?

I also enjoy watching The Office, Parks and Rec, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, and some other shows like that.

I started watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and found that really funny but I just keep rewatching The Office because it's so addictive.

What shows do you watch?

Pokemon?

I used to love Pokemon but now theres about 750 so I lost track of it I also like South Park, seems like the producers have a good relation with the crew of The Simpsons.

I never really got into Pokemon.

I enjoy South Park, but I am not a huge fan of it and don't watch it religiously.

I also love Community, which is by the same producers as Rick and Morty.

I see, Community is a nice show, I like it.

So what other hobbies do you have, maybe cars

I like listening to music a lot.

That is why I am surprised that I hadn't heard much music from Barbara Alston and the Crystals.

Were you surprised to find out that she initially won a talent show with the Delphi Thezonians?

I wonder what that name even means!

Well you lost me there lol, her family sure misses her but she left an important legacy behind.


Did you hear about Barbara Alston died recently, she was 74

I am actually not sure who she is?

Was she an actress?

I was just reading about the fact that after WWII an improved version of black and white became popular.

No she's a famous singer, she was in the group the crystals, they made that song Da Do Ron Ron, I think everyone knows that one haha

Oh yes, thats a fun song.

Have you ever seem Thomas the Tank Engine?

I saw that Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin have all narrated it for at least 52 episodes each

Yes I've seen that show especially when I was a kid, I love George Carlin I just wish he did some dirty jokes when he did the narration LOL

LOL, I saw that their is only one episode of The Simpsons where Bart neither appears or is mentioned

Yeah I didn't see that episode, I did see the one where South Park makes fun of Family Guy, did you hear that afterwards The Simpsons Creator sent them flowers?

Oh wow that is funny.

I read that there are over 750 episodes of Pokemon.

Thats about 50 a year for 16 straight years

That's incredible!

I love watching it as a kid, I would never be able to see them all now though, did you ever watch That 70s Show

I did.

I thought it was interesting that it was renamed and made verbatim in the UK.

Yep and then it was canceled after only 10 episodes lol they must have a different sense of humor over there

Yes, exactly.

This is totally off the subject.

Something interesting I saw was that Mcdonalds added the drive-thru in 1975 to accommodate soldiers who were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues

That is really nice of them!

It also has made it easier for me to be lazy LOL do you know why the trunk of the car is called the trunk by the way

I think I saw somewhere that old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back

Yep you're right that's the reason!

Good thing we don't have flamethrowers on our cars like they do in South Africa or they would be a real fire hazard with a wooden trunk LOL

LOL, yes that wouldve been bad.

I saw that the car brand cadillac was named after French explorer Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac.

Long name.

Yep that's where they got the name for the car company Cadillac from, that guy founded Detroit, I'm actually from Michigan and I didn't know that haha

Oh wow.

Do they have a Cadillac museum in Michigan

No but they do have some plants that make Cadillac cars though, did you ever play the video game Gran Turismo by the way

Yes, I saw that Jann Mardenborough became a professional racecar driver by beating 90,000 people in that game

Impressive, I wonder how it transfers from a video game into real world car racing skills though, what do you think about the radio to do you think that its useful to listen to when you're driving


Good afternoon!
Do you have a favorite TV show?

Hello there, I do, I really like the Simpsons, how about you?

The Simpsons is an all time great show and I do enjoy it - my favorite is probably Seinfeld

Hey that's my 2nd if I can't have two number ones, wish Simpsons would have quit while they were still funny like Seinfeld.

Right!

I'm not sure if/when Simpsons will quit - being a cartoon makes it easy for the character to just keep going....  Seinfeld finale, as most great shows, was kinda disappointing!

Yeah it was, do you know there is an episode of the Simpsons in which Bart never appears?

That seems unlikely, but I trust you - I wonder which episode it was and what it was about, pretty hard to have an episode without a main character!

I am willing to bet it was in a later season episode, I don't think I have seen it.

I have a buddy who claims to have seen every episode of the Simpsons - I'll ask him if he knows.

Maybe test his knowledge

Yeah I bet he would know, or maybe not that seems like an odd fact.

Right - like they didn't advertise the episode as the only on without Bart....  you'd have to watch it in real time and make the connection.

But it's probably widely known to the fanatics by now....

Yeah I agree, have you ever seen an episode of Pokemon?

I can't say that I have, but I do know about Pokemon and what they are and how crazy kids are about it.

Pocket Monster!

Oh yeah the kids are crazy about it for sure, did you know there are over 750 episodes of the show though?

That, I had no idea - seems like a ton of shows for me to not have seen even one!

Yeah I never saw one, I don't know how they can keep coming up with new material.

I think the story lines with that many characters would be hard to create and follow.

There is a movie coming out with Ryan Reynolds right?

Yeah I think you are right, I thought I saw a preview recently.

Do you listen to the radio much, podcasts, etc?

Yeah I found a really good local station that I like, how about you?

At work I listed to a lot of talk radio, sports and politics to pass the time.

At home I listen to a lot of music, but not on a traditional radio station.

I listen to podcasts while walking the dogs too!

Nice!

I have yet to get into the podcasts.

Anyways, it's been fun and interesting talking with you, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.


Hello, do you like cars?

Yes I like cars, but I really like race cars.

I like all kinds pretty much!

I did not know Ford did manufacture a car on 1908!

If I'm not wrong the ford was the first car built, Do you remember the talk about Henry T ford?

It was called the model T.I do not remember the talk, tell me about it!

I don't know much about it the ford was built by the ford company from 1908 until 1927.

The car crank from the front.

They replaced pretty much animals drawing carriages

Yes they did.

Did you know a German by the name of Karl Benz Invented the mercedes benz?

Yes i did learned about that!, 1886 was a key year for him and for the automobile industry!

Can you imagine buying property and find a burn full of classic cars.

How is this possible unless it was purchase from a millionaire?

Of course.

i had never learned of that happening!

But i learned of someone becoming a professional car race when beating 90.000 players of gran turismo video game!

Wow that amazing, do you watch TV, if yes, what is your most watch show?

I do not watch much tv, I did before, and sometimes watched the simpsons, what about you!

I like TV a lot and the Internet.

Watching TV gave me a comfort feeling, what do you do in place of TV?

i watch more youtube.

Did you know that in the simpsons there is one episode where Bart is ignored!

I heard about it, but I only watched a few episode of the simpsons.

I did watch it a lot, what I almost never watched is Pokemon, which has more than 750 episodes!

Yes, that was shocking to me even known I wasn't a big fan of Pokemon, only the games, I like the game.

It is very popular, but the amount of TV episodes were so many that it would equal 50 episodes for 16 years in a row!

Wow, it's hard to believe a cartoon show running that many episodes for so long, I can amazing how busy the cartoon artists were.

Well it was nice talking to you!!
have a good one


Hi, how are you?

I'm doing well, thanks.

I've been watching TV today, or "telly" as some like to call it.

Are you a TV watcher?

I am.
What have you been watching?

I was watching that old South Park episode, where they parody Family Guy.

Was it any good?

Yeah.

It was so good that the producers received flowers from the Simpson's crew upon it's airing.

Do you ever watch the Simpson's?

I do watch the simpsons.
Do you watch the simpsons?

Occasionally.

I recently heard that there was only one of the Simpson's episodes where Bart never appeared or was mentioned.

Impressive for how many episodes have been aired!

Yes, it was the four women and the manicure.

It was a good one.

Did you know that there are over 750 episodes of pokemon?

Do you watch that show?

I missed all 750 episodes.
Pretty impressive run though.
How many years did that show run?

16 straight years.

My son loves it so I think I have seen them all through proxy.

I cannot remember a single one though...

But they haunt your dreams, right?

That's like me and that 70s show.

I watched, but don't remember them.

What;s even more crazy, the show was remade in England--the first 10 episodes--but the show tanked.

I guess it did not translate well to english...

Was that "Days like These"?

Did you ever see the british version of the office?

It is in my queue of shows to watch, but I loved the US version so much, I fear it will be anti-climactic.

You know what else was anti-climactic?

When Alec Baldwin became the new narrator for Thomas the Tank Engine.

I preferred George Carlin, although Ringo starr did a pretty good job too.

They all did voices on that show?

Yup.

At least 52 episodes each.

That show has been on forever, but not as long as Pokemon...

Not much has been on as long as Pokemon...

Were you aware that mcdonalds created the drive thru in 1975?

I did not know that.

Crazy how it has been adopted everywhere now!

You know what I would like to see get adopted everywhere?

Equipping cars with flamethrowers!

They actually allow that in South Africa!

That's overkill...

I wonder if they do not have effective police??

Or bar-B-Que is really popular... the Cadillac brand, created by a dude named Antoine de la Mothe, used to be really popular.

But his name never caught on.

Nice chatting with you!


hi, how are you?
do you listen to the radio?

About 45 minutes on my commute, you?

I used to listen quite a bit when i was younger.

now i go to youtube and listen to jazz albums.

Yeah I do Spotify and Pandora now.

There is a website for classical radio dramas for free

i wonder who visits the site.

i probably is popular among the older set.

the kids like vids.

Did you know WW2 soldiers made radios from pencils and razorblades?

I cant imagine ever being that ingenious.

i wonder who thought that up.

that is quite a feat.

Just need waves and a conductor!

I suppose that is true.

Would you listen to the news in Latin on the radio?

I wouldnt but many must since a finnish station has been broadcasting

Yeah, since 1989. i guess there are some dedicated latin fans over there in Finland.

LOL Probably difficult to do in Canada.

Yes, Canada requires 40% Canadian content

Yeah, so the news in Latin would have to 40% about Canada.

The snow forecast, the igloo housing starts.

LOL

How about Jupiter, it has its own radio waves!

Yes, the storms on Jupiter are audible.

there is a radio station that turns solar activity into music, too.

Wow neat!
Do you watch tv too?

I sometimes watch TV.
Usually when I am exercising.
You?

Same here.

The Simpsons a lot.

I heard there is an episode where Bart is not in it?

Yeah, i dont remember the name.
something like Bart isnt dead?
i forget.
anyway, great chat!

Weird since he is the star.
Thanks

Have a great day!

Same to you


Did you hear about that police officer that got sentenced to 15 years in prison

Yea, what kind of abuse of power is this?

I know right, 15 years is a harsh penalty but she deserved it, she committed a murder and used power to cover it up

Do you generally trust cops?

A regular person may have gotten more time.

I trust some of them but a lot of them are abusive just like officer Sherry Hall, her report was full of lies, makes me really angry, Its a good thing the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looked into the shooting

Yea... Did you know Cars came into global use in the 20th century?

Really in the 20th century?

I though it was a lot longer than that, I wonder who made the first model

I think it was Henry Ford.

I'm just glad they evolved to electric vehicles now.

We have over 1.25 billion vehicles on earth.

Thats a lot of cars, did you hear about that pro driver that picked up his skills by playing Gran Turismo

This is so sick.

I used to play that game all day as a kid.

It was very difficult.

Did you every play it?

I just to play it yeah, I wasnt good at it though, it was a great game, trunk of cars are called like that because of wooden trunks on the back

That's cool.
What do you know about Radios?

I know the carry waves in the form of sound, info music, just about any sound really, I like radios, I think they are a great invention

Did you know that by canada law, their music has to be at least 40% canadian?

I think thats a great law, its a good way to promote local talent, Bieber and Drake are great canadian artists

Of course.

It is just kind of weird.

I did not know Bieber was canadian.

Do you subscribe to radio or do you just listen to free radio?

No not really, do you know any free radio websites?

I know pandora has a free version.

I might download it, you know that Jupiter has storms that are so strong AM radio picks them up!

I had no idea, that's insane!

That is insane just like soldiers and how they knew how to make radios back in WWII

I agree!


hi, do you watch tv?

Yes.
I'm watching TV now.

Nice.
do you like the simpsons?

I have seen all of them.

There is one where Bart is not seen or mentioned.

yeah, that is a little strange, wonder what happened to the voice actor

Do you watch pokemon?

sometimes.
do they still air?

Yes I think so .there are over 750 episodes!

wow, but i guess they have been around for 16 years

Yes.

That's a long time did you know Alec Baldwin narrated Thomas the tank engine for at least 52 episodes

yeah as well as george carlin and ringo starr

Yep.
Do youisten to the radio?

I do.

maybe one of these days i will catch Jupiter's storms

That would be cool.
They storms are so strong.
You have to listen to am

that is cool.
do you like radio dramas?

Yes.

Isn't there a sight where you can get thousands for free.

yeah that is so convenient for those who love that type of drama

It really is.
Do you drive a car?

I do.
do you know how cadillac got its name?

Yes after the French explorer who founded Detroit.

yeah antoine de la moth

You can put flamethrowers on your car in South Africa!

wow, way to go for them.
nice chat


Hello - how are you doing today?

I'm good thanks and you?

I'm doing good - thanks.
Do you like television?

I watch a little.
Do you?

Not too much.
There are over 750 episodes of pokemon.

I know I had heard that, I don't see what people find interesting about that at all.

Do you?

I am not into Pokemon.
Do you like the Simpons?

Yes, I love the Simpsons.

Did you know that there is only one episode in which Bart doesn't appear in?

I've heard that and I don't remember ever seeing that one.

Do you?

I haven't watched too many Simpson's episodes so I didn't see that one.

That's cool.

Do you know they remade that 70s Show in the UK, it was called " Days like these"?

Oh wow I didn't know that.

It looks like it only made it 10 episodes before it was cancelled.

True, I guess it didn't translate well across the pond?

I'm thinking it didn't.
Do you like cars?

Yes, I got me a big old American made Cadillac.

Nice!

I'm more into motorcycles, but like cars too.

Did you know the trunk of your car is called a trunk because older cars actually had a wooden trunk in them>

Figured that was the case about the trunks.

Do you know the guy my cadillac is named after was a French explorer that founded Detroit?

I did not know that.

It's legal in South Africa to equip your car with a flamethrower to deter carjackings.

My cadillac needs a few of those mounted on its hood for traffic in the city!

Well it was really good talking to you!

You too, friend.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon!


Do you watch any television shows?

I watch quite a bit of murder mysteries on hallmark.

What about you?

Nice, that is awesome.

I need to check them out.

I watch family guy and south park sometimes, ever watch those?

No they aren't really my kind of show.

I don't go in for raunchy comedy.

I can't believe how long they have been on the air though.

Yea, they are pretty raunchy.

One time south park made fun of family guy and the simpsons sent them flowers

Nice.

They seem to get a lot of actors to do voice over work on their shows though so it must pay well.

For sure.
Did you ever watch pokemon growing up?
They have like 750 episodes!

I didn't watch it growing up but I do now.

I have some pokemon obssessed kids.

I think we have probably seen all 750.

I think I have also lol!

Thomas the tank was good too, they had famous people voicing thomas

They really do!

I just can't get behind some of these reality shows nowdays.

Some are so obviously fake.

For sure lol.

Did you ever watch that 70s show, i liked that growing up

I used to watch it a lot in college.

It was a good mind numbing show to watch after class.

for sure lol.

It had a lot of good stars in it that got their break after that.

Too bad the uk version didn't have success.

Yeah that is too bad.

I would love to see more plays adapted into movies.

I don't get to the theatre much so that would be fun to watch.

Yea I would like that also, movies need to get a little better.

Do you listen to the radio much?

Not as much as I would like to.
I love music.
What about you?
Do you like the radio?

I love the radio, I like oldies.

Apparently in canada they have a law where they have to play at least 40% of their songs on the radio.

I don't think I could do it

As long as it isn't a 40% justin beiber playlist I think I could handle that.

I was thinking the same thing lol!
It was so nice talking with you!

I could stand to listen to 40% of alanis morisette though.

I could too, I never knew she was canadian, that would be a fun road trip in canada lol, have a good night!


I think we should stop publicizing mass killers.

That is what they want.

Hello, I completely agree.

They shouldn't gain fame over destroying the lives of others.

The families are forced to relive it over and over again.

They want their faces splashed on every screen.

They even write about it, about how the more you kill the more limelight you get.

Everyone wants exposure these days, it's sad...  Kinda like the TV show Shark Tank which i'm a big fan of.

They have lots of people just going on asking for crazy deals just to gain exposure for there product.

The exposure need crosses all lines.

Yeah...Pokemon is overexposed.

50 episodes a year for 16 years straight.

I've literally watched 2 episodes of Pokemon and never any of the real games.

Do you watch much telly?

Well I prefer music.

But the other day I turned on Thomas the Tank Engine and heard Ringo Starr

Nice crossover, Ringo in Thomas the Tank Engine!

Music is universal and mixes so well into all parts of life.

Speaking of which, I'll be seeing Sir Paul in concert this summer.

It's the Beatles but it's close enough.

I'm a big music fan as well, I always have some form of radio playing in the background.

Watch out for Canadian radio...it's like all Rush, Celene Dion, and Bryan Adams 24/7 it seems.

HAHA I'd rather listen to the sun!

Did you know there is a radio station that actually translates the sun's solar activities allowing you to listen to music the sun makes!

That's crazy.

I wonder if WWII soldiers could hear it...using their foxhole radios

I doubt we had the technology at the time but that would have gotten them through the night.

They were listening to old time shows like radio ventriloquists.

Think about that one for a moment.

You could be the worst ventriloquist ever on the radio.

George Carlin is perfect for radio.
Caught him on Tank Engine too.

I really need to check out this Tank Engine show, it seems the happening place to be.

Alec Baldwin is there as well, giving Trump a break I guess.

LOL crazy!!!

That's almost as wild as Google's self driving cars having an aggressive mode.

I bet the horn honks super aggressively.

Maybe they are aggressively searching.

I'd like to explore France in a Cadillac.

Did you know there is arrow next to pump symbol reminding you which side on the car the pump goes in.

That is handy when renting and you're not sure.

It should always be in the left side, so Micky Dees could make a drive in where you fill up too.

The soldiers would appreciate it, I think.

Anyway, I have to bolt like Im in a grand turismo game.

Take care.

Micky Dees?

Do you mean McDonalds?

I worked there when I was 15, it was my first job.

I walked to work each day.

My parents wouldn't drive me as it was up to me to learn responsibility.

I started in the winter and it was cold.

I bought new gloves to keep my feet warm.

Then I bought a new jacket because it was cold to walk to work.

I saved up enough eventually to buy a piece of crap car.

It didn't even have a radio but the horn sure did honk.

Yeah..it's slang for McDonalds...at least when I was young.

However, when I was young the trunks on cars were made of wood.

Nice chatting with you.


Do you like McDonalds?

not really but i know they invented the drive thru

Yeah, I wonder why, for soldiers?

yeah because they were not allowed to get out of the car

Interesting, is that a military rule?

it used to be but it no longer is, however we still have drive thrus

Yeah.

Well what is crazy is that apparently it is legal in South Africa to equip your car with flame throwers.

wow.
do you listen to the radio much?

Not a lot, but sometimes.

Apparently you can make one out of a razor blade.

and a pencil right?
like soldiers used to do

Yeah, I think you needed a pencil.

You could make one, but in Canada, 40% of the music would be canadian.

wow, that is a lot of radio time with just canadian music

Yeah, it is.
It is a law up there apparently.
Talk about weird.

yeah, go figure.
do you lke radio dramas?

I do, apparently you can listen to thousands of them for free.

yeah that is so cool.
do you watch much tv?

Yeah, I like the simpsons.
Have you seen it?

yes I love the show.

bart has not appeared in only one episode apparently

Interesting, I'm surprised he's even missed one, he is the whole point of the show.

Well him and Homer.

haha so true.
too dumb and too funny at the same time

Yeah.

Well at least it has been successful, unlike the remake of That 70s show that was done in the UK.

Nice chatting with you.


I really like that McDonalds added drive thru's for soldiers!

That is cool.

I do wonder if that was the very first drive-through.

Thats a good question!

I used to work the drive thru at McDonald's.

It was not my favorite job!

I liked working at a radio station better!

Yeah, fast food definitely is a difficult job to do.

Nice connection to the soldier comment too, the radio thing and what not.

The soldiers building a radio out of a razor blade.

MacGeyver stuff

Yeah, i dont think i could do that .

When i worked at the radio i cant remember having to play any specific amount of US music.

Funny.

Agreed.

That Canadian law seemed a bit restrictive.

I guess it is mostly there to ensure that their citizens are exposed to their own art.

Thats a good thought.

I would rather have Canadian music than listen to an exclusive show in latin.

Ha!

Yeah.

I've traveled a lot and even have been to Finland, but never noticed that.

Might not be a popular station.

yeah, i dont think it gets many listeners.

Even hearing the storm from Jupiter would be better than latin!

Mhm.

Though I have to admit that I probably wouldn't know what Jupiter sounds like.

Definitely not like Latin or a radio drama.

:P

Yeah, i dont know what id be in for either with Jupiter.

Maybe id rather listen to Thomas the train engine and see if i could pick out the ones that ringo starr narrates.

I actually didn't know that he OR George Carlin narrated that.

That's amusing considering George Carlin's general comedy.

He probably would have seemed more at home on South Park when he was alive.

I agree, SP would have been more his style.

That or maybe the simpsons!

Hm.

Simpsons seems to have had sooooo many guest starts over the years.

I wouldn't be shocked if Carlin was actually on it.

I'm gonna look that one up later.

Still a little shocked that after 20+ seasons they only had one non-Bart appearance.

Thats exactly what i was thinking.
Hes such a huge part of the show.
I wonder which one he wasn't in .

Probably took the day off or something.

Speaking of taking the day off, apparently there are so many Pokemon eps that you might actually need to take a day off to marathon it.

Im not a huge fan but i could see there being sooo many episodes.

Over 750 episodes right?

Almost as many as there are Pokemon!

Ah, i dont even know how many their are!

You gotta catch em all!

Yeah I think that both Simpsons, South Park, and Pokemon, and Thomas are definitely some of the longest running shows.

Interesting connection there.

It is!
have a great Day!

You too

Thanks!

np


Do you ever watch The Bachelorette?

No never!
Anything interesting about it.

I don't watch it either, but apparently one of the episodes was interrupted with footage of Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

SNL did a skit about that i think.

People were not happy about that interruption.

It is pretty funny that people are comparing the meeting to the show it interrupted.

It definitely affects the world more than that episode would have

True...I guess people are just tired of being manipulated and lied to.

I'm mean the whole thing is like one big reality TV show and i guess they like the Bachelorette more.

Right.

Whereas the people who care more about politics probably weren't even watching the show.

It must be interesting to watch several guys vying for one girl's attention.

One of the guys fell off a top bunk and ended up in the hospital

I agree wholeheartedly with you.

I think both shows are degrading the one for the men and the one for the women.

Who knows where will will end up with this nonsense.

on a lighter note the visiting locker room for Iowa state university is painted pink.

That's pretty awesome.

What's also funny is that in the 50s, the top bowlers made more money than top football players

That is interesting.

I think it was at least twice as much.

I heard in the 60's there was a game played and the score was 222-0.

I would not have wanted to be on the bus home for the losing team.

That's a lot of touchdowns!

Especially considering how the points are calculated.

There's a former Patriots player who never fumbled the ball in his career

How long was his career?

ha ha!

There has only been one Quarterback that was left handed.

I've heard that!

Another funny aspect of football is that the superimposed yellow line for the first down won ESPN an Emmy

You know i gotta say they deserve it i was very appreciative of that line.

Correction that high scoring game was played in 1916 by Georgia Tech and Cumberland.

It would be in college football.

It's interesting how the interpretation of the name depends on the region.

In some countries, football is understood as what Americans know as soccer

Yeah you're right and in others like Australia it's considered Rugby.

I think there's a difference between rugby and Australian rules football.

There's even a variation known as Gaelic football

Yeah apparently there are so many different variations that they have football codes.

You know Trump with all his money doesn't rate as one of the wealthiest presidents.

I guess JFK, Washington, and Jefferson all had more money.

I wonder if with Washington and Jefferson, they had to calculate the hundreds of years of inflation to figure that out

Probably, Can you imagine Trump and Hillary Pres & VP.

Apparently thats the way it was the runner up was automatically the VP.

I'm glad things have changed since then.

It would be strange to live in a house knowing it would only last 4-8 years, but apparently the guest house is larger anyway


Hello, do you like football?

I watch it every now and then, this latest Superbowl was very boring though.

I didnt watch the latest one.

Thats too bad.

Did you know bowlers in the 60's made almost twice as much as football players?

Yeah and the university of Iowas locker room is all pink for visiting teams haha!

Thats cool,  probably some scare tactic or mind game.

And did you know that patriots rb benjarvus green-ellis never fumbled a football in his entire nfl career?

Yeah I read that,  that is amazing!!
That has to be some kind of record lol

Espn won an award for the creation of the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line in american football, that's pretty cool.

That line is really helpful for people at home!

So how do you feel about Kim Jong Un?

Not a fan lol I think its funny that no one knows how old he actually is.

If I had to venture a guess I would say early thirties, but that's just a guess and he isn't telling lol, he claims to have learned to drive at age 3.

Yeah it says he was born in 1983,  but Korea has a different way of aging people.

So when you are born in Korea,  you are already one year old,  and the first year you have a korean new years,  you are 2 years old lol

Did you know The onion voted Kim jong Un as the sexiest man alive and the Chinese believes it?

Talk about gullible ha!

Who is the onion?

The Onion is an online news website that only post satire and joke news, so everything they report is fake, but a lot of people fall for it all the time, especially on Facebook.

oooooh weird.

Yeah I dont believe he learned to drive at age 3 either!

He also has started to edit pictures to depict a different history just as previous leaders like stalin did.

Seriously!

Apparently north korea is undergoing renovations of their theme parks under his orders.....priorities lol

That is if the theme parks even exist at all!

since they don't let anyone in to see we will never know.

Ah thats true,  it could be all lies!

North Korea is a country I don't prefer to visit

Yeah, well it was nice chatting with you, have a good night.


Did you realize Kim Jong Un  was born in 1983?

I did not, he's only one year older than me.

One month, and one year to be precise.

He is 9 months older than me.

Hes been running a country since 2011.

What have I been doing with my life..  lol

He's running a country while his older brother is going to Eric Clapton concerts.

That doesn't seem right.

I wonder why his older brother didnt take over for their father, or is it not like that?

I'm not sure.

His half brother was favored to be the heir but fell out of favor when he was caught with a fake passport trying to enter Tokyo Disneyland.

He is pretty violent, he even ordered his own Uncle to be executed.

I wonder if his uncle was a barber.

I heard he cuts his own hair because he is scared of barbers.

Is that a fear from childhood?

It seems odd that one wouldnt overcome something like that.

It is kind of odd.

I wonder if he watched Sweeny Todd?

I heard that he is renovating their theme parks.

Then he just has to avoid Fleet Street, and hes all good!

That is right!

It is good that him and Trump have been having talks.

That hasn't happened in years.

Hopefully those talks are productive and are good for the US.

I hope so too.

Did you know that the only US President to have a PHD is Woodrow Wilson?

I guess you don't have to be scholarly to be President.

I think our current president really proves that one.

I agree with that.

Did you know that 5 presidents have been elected while still losing the popular vote?

The greatest margin was 10%.

Wow, I knew some lost the popular vote, but never knew the margin got that big.

Thats pretty incredible.

Yeah it is.

Did you know Lincoln was the first president to be photographed for his inauguration and can you guess who else was in that photo?

It was John WIlkes Booth!
How creepy.

That is pretty creepy!

I am curious to see where he was positioned in the photo, it is just so odd.

I would like to see that too.
I'm going to have to research it.

I mean, was the assassination planed out further than we think?

I wonder if they are in other photos together too.

I'm not sure, it is kind of eerie.

Well I think I am going to have to go look into this now.

I hope you have a good night!


Hello.
Do watch any NFL games?

Yes, I'm a Chiefs fan.

I was surprised that the NFL has no rules against women playing.

Go girls!

It is surprising.

Seeing as how no women play yet I assumed they did have rules against it.

I also can't believe that there is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay in an average NFL game.

Is that right?

It seems like much longer.

I mean, I know there's a lot of commercials and such but it still seems like the actual plays take a while and are more frequent.

I played in HS and there was a lot of standing around but that seems like too little time.

Maybe tracking chips in shoulder pads will help keep track of time better?

Oh yeah, I've heard about that.

They are used to track a players every move on the field.

They are even in the footballs to track it's movements.

Do you think the teams get and use any of the information recorded?

Probably... Do you watch basketball?

In 39 of 50 states, the highest paid state employee is a college football or basketball coach.

I watch some basketball but more football actually.

College football and basketball is great to watch!

Did you ever hear about the dunk shot being banned from college basketball for a while?

I think so... Kareem... Is it racist for New Zealand to call their basketball team the "Tall Blacks".

It would be in the U.S. whether it was meant to be or not.

I don' t think it's racist.

If the team is made up of tall people that are black then it is just descriptive.

What do you think?

I agree.

I didn't know there was a basketball court on the top of the US Supreme Court building.

Dunk one Ruth Bader Ginsberg!

Yep!

It's called the highest court in the land.

Somehow I have a hard time picturing a lot of the justices playing, not just her.

I sometimes have a hard time picturing them actually following the US Constitution.

Do you keep track of NFL QBs?

Alex Smith must be smart.

He quizzed out of his first two years of college.

I didn't know that about him.

I know he's a good quarterback though.

Baker Mayfield has some talent off the field as well.

He considered being a pro gamer instead of quarterback.

I remember the circular huddle.

I didn't know that a deaf QB was its origin.

Oh yeah, someone told me that recently.

A team didn't want the other team to read his hand signals so they huddled up and the huddle was born.

I always thought it just to communicate verbally better.

Did you know that Kellan Moore is the only left-handed QA in the NFL?

No I didn't.

To be honest though, I've never paid attention to what hand they throw the ball out of.

Me either.

Times have changed with an NFL QB has to decide between football and video games.

Such is the plight for Baker Mayfield...

He's just a super competitive person.
I imagine he'd be great either way.
Well, it's been nice chatting with you!
Have a great day!


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

Hi I sure do.
Did you know women can play too?

Yeah that is nice that there is no written rule against that, if you make the cut you play

Yeah that is true.

Did you know the average game has only 11 minutes of active play

Yeah and yet we are glued to the tv for hours waiting for it to end

Ah the irony if it.

And engineers seems to make more money on the long run than them

Yes, their careers are much longer so I guess that makes sense

Good point.

Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?

Oh about not being able to eat in the same place as the players?

Yeah that is so sexist and outdated and I really think it needs to go now

Yes and the worst part is that they have to leave mid meal if they walk in

Yes pretty rough.They are using tracking chips on the players now it seems

Yeah and they are tracing velocity and speed and a bunch of other stuff with those

Yeah , I hope they can use those to make the game safer for the players too

I hope so  too How about basketball, watch it much?

Sometimes I do.

Do you know who made the dunk shot popular?

Yes it was Kareem but he was also the reason why it was banned for a few years

Yeah that is true, he was just too good at it and it was for a good chunk, 10 years

Yeah.

Do you know who invented the sport of basketball?

Yes it was James Naismith and he is also the only losing coach at U of Kansas

Wow what an irony really.

The coaches are the highest paid though as far as state employees go

That is true in most states.

have you heard of the highest court in the land?


Hi

Hi there.
Are you a sports fan?

Yes i like football do like football

I liked it a lot in High school but tickets are so expensive now, so I just watch it on tv.

I'm still wondering when a woman will start playing, since it isn't against the rules.

yeah me too i stop seeing NFL on TV  not trying to get tickets

I guess the most logical place for a women to start would be as a kicker.

Since the average game has only 11 minutes of live play, the kicker must only play for about 2 minutes a game!

do you have favorite NFL  team where we can add a kicker

I like the Cowboys and the Falcons.

I was surprised to see that engineers make more than football players over their life time.

I guess because most only play for a few years before they get hurt.

i like Redskins

Why do you think the Saints cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in?

What's their reasoning?

to avoid any gossip s and controversy probably

But why doesn't the player have to leave if the cheerleader comes in?

It isn't fair.

It's discrimination, don't you think?

Totally unfair .
But the NFL has business motives.

Did you study about James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, in school.

I did and for some reason, I an still remember that name, even though I've never been a basketball fan.

Funny that he was a the only losing coach at UK!

i think he lost the match as a coach in kansas ,he is the only one to lose i guess

He didn't lose a match, he was the only losing coach in their history.

That means he never had a season where they won more than they lost.

I guess you don't know much about basketball either.

yep poor me .

but i know one thing there is a basket ball court on top of US supreme court building

Right!

That is funny, 'the highest court in the land'.

That's a good basketball joke.

I wonder if the justices actually play up there in their robes, Ha Ha!

I guess its safe till there is no football court above supreme court.

They have to handle quarterbacks .. much worse

I don't know why the New Zealand basketball team is named the Tall Blacks.

Do you?

Not sure .. but they are associated with black uniforms in other sports too

I never thought about New Zelanders being tall.

Oh well.

Funny that Tom Brady was a backup quarter back that Never got into a game, in high school!

Boy, I bet they wish they could change that.

what a history of 4 time superbowl champion


Hi there, are you a football fan?

I was a big fan, age and other concerns have made me stop and you?

I was reading about Adrian Peterson.

Me too.

I'm a Viking fan who is a bit conflicted about AP.

hahahah why?

He was really fun to watch before I learned about his child abuse story.

Wow, was he abused?
so sorry about that.

No, he abused his son.
He did play well last season though.

Wow!

so terrible news.

Perhaps he was abused, too.

You know, those things happens as a cycle.

I love quaterbacks, do you happen to have a favorite?

Favorite to watch might be Aaron Rodgers at his best.

How about you>

hahaha it was a long time ago Stabler, did you know him?

Was stabler a cowboy?

No, from the evil Oakland's Raiders, perhaps you are too young.

I think they are the most important player in the game, well, as well as receivers, etc.

etc.

Definitely.

Crazy to think that Alex Smith worked to get a Masters Degree after getting a BA in just two years

He really worked hard.

And he began working on a master´s degree!

Has to do something after football, and he broke his leg badly this year so he might be done.

Well, but sure he has a lot of money left.

I never knew that the circular huddle was invented for a deaft quaterback, so the other team could not read his hand signals, cool!

Now they use both headsts and hand signals.

Did you know that the New Zealand's basketball team are nicknamed the "tall blacks"?

I should google why later.

Maybe they are referring to coffee

You are right.

I don´t know, I like to investigate things, I will do it later, reading that the inventor of basketball James Naismith is the only losing coach in Kansas History.

Poor guy!

Interesting!


What's your favorite thing to watch on TV?

I really like comedy shows.

I enjoy reality shows.

Did you ever watch Thomas the Tank Engine?

I saw that Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin have narrated

I like those shows, too!

I've never seen much of the Thomas show.

It must be very popular if those guys are involved.

Maybe they'll have the President narrate sometime?

Yes, that would be neat.

I saw that there is only one episode of "The Simpsons where Bart neither appears nor is mentioned

I watched the Simpon's a lot when I was younger.

I think they've even done parodies of some of the US Presidents on that show.

South Park was another good comedy cartoon TV show.

Yes I saw that when they aired their last episode that the Simpsons crew sent them flowers

That's really nice!

Do you think they ever watch the Simpson's at the President's house?

Like his family and stuff?

Im not sure but I saw that the top three wealthiest presidents were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson

Oh yes!

Did you hear of the President of Indonesia and his three pop albums?

lol, thats funny.

I saw though that the first president of Zimbabwe was ccalled President Banana

I wonder if President Banana had a feast of banana dishes and puddings at his inauguration?

Does the US President still have a produce garden at the white house?

I am not sure about that but that would be nice.

Did you know that the US presidents guest house is larger than the White House

That's pretty amazing!

Was there ever a President to have his home on that MTV Cribs show?

That would be interesting.

Until 1805 in the US the runner up in a presidential elecction automatically became Vice President

Do you think that's better than how they do the separate elections now?

Do you think Trump would have wanted it to be Hillary as Vice?

lol

Wow that would have been an interesting match up.

LOL.

Do you enjoy music?

I saw something about two identical twins from Japan released a rap album when turned 100 years old in 1992

Have you heard about Do Nguyen Mai Khoi?

She's the Vietnamese pop star that ran for President to raise awareness.

I didn't know about that.

I just read that even though this album was released over 40 years ago "The Dark Side of the Moon" is still one of the best selling albums of 2014

Yes, such a great classic album; I've enjoyed listening to it many times!

I was just gonna say that you should look that pop singer up.

I wish America would have someone like her to actually run.

Did you know that Linkin Parks "Hybrid Theory" is the best selling album of the 21st century.

Wow, I would not have guessed that, although I do like them.

I once saw them live on some TV special.

They have quite a few good albums.
