Have you been using any streaming services lately?

are you referring to things like netflix?

If so, I've been using that and Amazon Prime.

What about you?

I'd say Netflix is my favorite because they've been around the longest.

They were founded in 1997.

I think it is also my favorite.

I wonder how you get a job there as a tagger!

That sounds quite fun

I wonder how many subscribers they have.

You have any idea?

It says 137 million worldwide and 58 million just here in the US.

Have you heard of this show in the first paragraph at all?

Fantastic Beasts

Yeah I've heard about it.

I don't have any kids so I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it.

What about you?

I never heard of it but I was just reading it is the prequel to Harry Potter.

Did you ever get into that series?

I had a girlfriend that loved it so I watched many of those films with her.

i've read the books, seen the movies, and visited harry potter world.

I'm wondering if I would find this show appealing!

Do you think it only attracts younger kids or would 30-somethings like it too?

I think it's something all ages can enjoy.

You have any favorite actors?

I actually like some of the ones they mention here, jude law is good looking and i think johnny depp does and amazing job at acting, especially when playing eccentric characters.

How about you?

Yeah I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp.

I remember watching him in the 80's when he starred in the TV show 21 Jump Street.

I wonder what I first saw him in...hmmm.

I like when he plays interesting characters like in alice in wonderland or him as Jack Sparrow.

Do you watch any other tv shows like the office?

Not that I can think of.

You have something in mind that you enjoy?

I really like the office, and I saw that Jon Hamm taught it at his old high school and one of the girls from his class was on the office!

I just found that interesting.

What other actors do you enjoy?

I enjoy Jim Carrey.
He makes me laugh.

Haha he is a great comedy actor.

did you watch any holiday movies?

It talks about one here called the princess switch

Yeah I've heard about it.

Seems like a pretty cool Christmas romance movie.

I love Christmas movies!

I'm adding this to my list for next year.

It seems like we are out of time.

It was great chatting with you :)

I love them too.
Have a great day.


do u like Wrestling?

Not really, never did, nor saw the attraction in it, how about yourself?

just like that.. but in my childwood.. i am very big fan of WWF.

I remember all that, my brother was into it a lot.

I suppose it is still going but you don't hear as much about it now.

i don't have no time to watch that.. i like JOHN CENA

I have young kids so have little time myself.

I see proper wrestling at the YMCA when I take my kids there.

hmm.
ok. ok.. do u have a car?

Yes, I wouldn't be able to function without a car.

I don't live close to anything and have to drive everywhere.

How about yourself.

i like bike more then a car.

so i have bike only.. but my brother have a car..

When  I lived in the city I biked all the time, but where I live now I need a car.

People don't respect cyclists here, it would be too dangerous.

yah i agree that.. soon I'll also buy a new car

If I were to bike around here I think I would need a Bible with me to keep me safe.

ha ha ha... god bless u..

Do you know much about the Bible?

I'm curious about some of it but have never really read it

i also fully read it.. did you watch the movie THE DA VINCI CODE?

I have, that was kind of based around the Bible, or at least religion, do you like that movie?

sorry I haven't fully read the bible.. yah i like that movie.. i think its true

My brother-in-law keeps telling me it's true.

I guess Thomas Jefferson was a little skeptical of the Bible, cutting out the supernatural parts!

HMM.. yah..

I think it's inconsiderate to remove so much of good things from bible

It would have been interesting to see what that Bible looked like after he had finished with it.

do u believe in GOD?

I am open to the question, I need evidence.

it was good talking with you, have a good day.


Hello there, are you a Johnny Depp fan?

I do like some of the movies he was in, like Charlie and the chocolate factory and Alice in wonderland.

Do you?

That one was pretty wild, I am a huge fan of Fear and Loathing.

Yeah, that's a good one too!
Did you know he directed The brave?

No I didn't know he did any directing at all, that is pretty cool.

Yeah.

In Edward scissorhands he only said 196 words.

Also a really good movie!

And he was awesome in that!
Such a cool movie I agree.
He has been in so many it seems.

Yeah, he's made quite a name for himself.

Gene Wilder (who apparently wasn't such a big fan of Depp) refused to watch the remake of willy wonka for fear of being disappointed by him.

I never heard about that, Gene was so good, I am a bit surprised by that.

I am too.
Do you use Netflix?

I don't have an account but think it is a very useful product.

How about you?

I use it a lot.

It uses 33% of north americas bandwidtch from 9pm tp 12am.

Which makes sense, that's pretty much when I use it too.

Holy crap, yeah that sounds like the peak hours or the netflix and chill hours if you will lol.

lol,yes.

Did you know Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor for tv drama, making 700000 per episode.

Holy cow!

No I didn't know that, I didn't know that show was that popular, wow!

Yeah, I also heard he switched his limp on his leg the entire time filming and no one ever noticed!

That is too funny, sounds like a George Costanza type of move.

Yeah, Jim carrey wont produce dramas anymore because it doesn't project positivity.

I heard about that, I'm sure he is well off enough to do what projects he really wants to do.

Yeah, he is a great actor.

Jon hamm taught ellie kemper from the office, in high school drama.

Interesting!

Very interesting.

Well its been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day!


Hi.
Do you like movies?
Do you have a favorite actor?
I really like Johnny Depp

I dont really have a favorite.

I loved Johnny Depp in  Edward Scissorhands.

Part of that was filmed in my hometown.

Wow.

That is so cool.

And I always loved that town.

He only says 196 words in Edward Scissorhands.

That is pretty incredible.
He is rally talented.
Played so many diverse roles

He might be making a movie about Dr. Seuss.

I would really like to see that.

That would be great!
he would be perfect in any Suess role.

He really is great at everything.

Gene Wilder should have shown a little faith.

He refused to watch the remake of Willy Wonka because he didn't want to be disappointed in Johnny Depp.

The first one was so iconic though, so I can understand that.

I didnt watch the remake, because frankly Depps character creeped me out a bit.

Haha.

It wasn't as great as the original but it wasn't terrible either.

He seems like a nice guy too.

He ended up adopting the horse from Sleepy Hollow when he heard the one-eyed horse was going to be put down.

i heard that.
I think that is the coolest thing.
I have a big soft spot for animals.

Me too.

I like that a bunch of Johnny Depp movies are available on Netflix.

Just watching Netflix and youtube makes up half of internet traffic in North America.

And it was all created becase of outrage over a late fee, $40 mind you, but a late fee.

And blockbuster could have bought them for $50 million, which is a lot more than a $40 late fee but a lot less than the $2 billion it is worth now.

I bet the Blockbuster execs are regretting not making that deal now.

It is amazing to think that Netflix spends more on postage than bandwidth.

I don't know anyone who does the mail subscription anymore.

Neither do I, honestly I didnt even know they still offered that.

I wonder if there are any Jim Carrey movies on Netflix.

He currently only makes films that project positivity and no longer does dramas due to his beliefs.

I dont know, I think I watched one of the Ace Ventura's recently.

Well if not, and if I ever run out of something to watch on Netflix there is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

Id rather watch reruns of House.
That was one of my favorite shoes!

Well thanks so much for chatting.

I learned a lot of new and interesting information.


Hello!
Are you a big dog person?

I love dogs!
They have great qualities.
What about you?

I like them as well!

They're much more capable animals than we give credit for.

They're one of the only animals to understand pointing!

That is good to know!

I have trained a few dogs before.

They have their own little eureka moments and love to solve a tough problem.

They're definitely intelligent!

In Istanbul they actually have vending machines to release food and water for stray dogs.

That is adorable!

I am glad someone is looking out for the stray dogs.

In Moscow, Russia dogs have learned to get around through the subway system!

That's crazy!

I love how useful they can be.

There's actually 12 different blood types for dogs, and they can even donate blood.

Wow, that is 4x as many as human blood types!

Dogs are also great for assisting police and military as well as helping the disabled.

I'm sure they're good for blind people especially!

A lot of people think dogs are color blind but it isn't true, they just cannot see as many colors as humans can.

Although they may have some vision impairments, dogs are very good at learning language and can learn up to 1000 different words

Definitely such an amazing creature.

Are you interested in telephones at all?

I am interested in telephones!

Do you know anything interesting about them?

I used to have a rotary phone when I lived in New York!

I recently learned the reason the area code is 212 is because it was fastest to dial on a rotary phone.

That is cool!

Did you know the person who invented the dial telephone did it out of paranoia?

He was worried that other operators were rerouting his calls elsewhere.

I didn't know that!

That's interesting, especially because I'm sure he never saw phones becoming as powerful as they are now.

An iPhone has more computing power than the US nuclear ICBM deterrent!

Wow!

iPhones are a nice luxury aren't they?

Some phone makers even hire the symphony to make exclusive ring tones!

That's interesting!

But also seems like a waste of money, on the other hand you have companies like Unicef, which donates a day of clean water for every minute you don't use your cell phone.

I've heard of Unicef before but I didn't know they had that program.

Speaking of cell phones, they were actually invented by actress Hedy Lamarr in the 1930s

I knew of the actress but never that she did that!

It's interesting how cell phones are powered too, all from cables that are just 2.7 inches in diameter lying on the ocean floor.

That is impressive!

Did you know that is little correlation between cell phone's connection quality and the little bars of service you see?

I didn't!

That definitely changes the way I'm going to look at them from now on.

Anyways it was nice talking to you, have a great night!


are you interested in government related policy

I can't believe how much of a disaster the festival was.

yeah, I cannot believe it either

I think for the level of this fraud they should have levied the maximum sentence requested.

I concur.
These are not the best people.

I love that the judge told him that bipolar does not excuse his behavior.

His excuse was such a joke.
No one will believe that for sure

Even his prepared statements sound so hollow.

It is like a regurgitation of ever statement where people have got caught doing something wrong and want to manipulate their way out of punishment.

Even with the best lawyer, he will never and ever get away such hideous crime

I wonder why as a co founder Ja Rule was not charged.

I have no idea, I think Ja Rule probably did not know the information beforehand.

It would have been nice if they had named the people who were scammed out of 1.2 million to give us an insight to how deep this attempt to defraud went.

I think because of privacy or personal issues that they do not want to release such information.

Do you keep track of celebrity news by any chance

No I don't tend to read much about it unless it is front of me like this article.

okay.

Do you believe what is the max sentence and fine should this guy get?

I think he should have gotten 20 years and be forced to return every cent he collected.

What do you think?

completely with you on this.

To warn others from carrying out such act.

Yes that would be a deterrent.

Punishments should be harsher to show the judicial system is serious.

I hope there will be no such case in the future.

I feel furious reading the article.

Nice chatting with you

You as well.

bye


Hey!
Do you travel a lot?

Hey yes I do, I just got back from Florida actually it was for work though, how often do you travel

I haven't traveled a lot in the last year, but generally, yes, I travel a lot.

I've been in 43 countries so far.

Wow that's impressive!

Did you realize that airplanes travel 10% slower these days?

They do it to save fuel but you also get to your destination slower

I may imagine.

It's super easy to travel this time of human history.

It's funny that the first king who was able to travel around the world was king of Hawaii.

What was the purpose of his travel?

haha

Yes I don't know!

Hopefully he had a good time though.

Have you ever used Airbnb before?

Apparently there is a version of that but for sleeping on couches

Sure, I used Airbnb a lot.
Did you use this couch surfing website?

No I haven't used it.

But I have used Airbnb.

When you did travel though to other countries, did you notice that airports would just put baggage claim further from the airplane?

Instead of making the baggage claim system faster?

Really?

Do you think it is done for the purpose?

Yes I think so.

One interesting thing that people would do when they traveled back in the age of Discovery, was they would put rabbits on the islands that they visited.

That way future discovers would be able to eat the rabbits when they landed

It's very interesting!

I didn't know.

It's easy to guess that a few rabbits means a few dozens of rabbits in short time.

I'm wondering how people travel in Iceland: they don't have public rail service and just take local flights between cities.

Yes that seems very wasteful.

But I guess they need to do it because of the terrain.

If only people were superheroes and could just fly to the different cities haha

by the way, do you watch movies with superhero?

Who is your favorite?

Yes I really like Batman.

But that's the only DC comic book character that I like, what about you?

I like Batman too.

Have you heard about superhero called "Normalman"?

No I didn't hear about him, is he just a normal person with no superpowers LOL?

I want to check out the Garfield spin-off we're all of the Garfield gang had superpowers though

It's nice.

I would be interested to check out comic series about fixing the collateral damage caused by superheroes.

It would be a lot of fun!

Yes I think so!

I am kind of tired of superhero movies though, they are going to have released about 30 of them between the years 2016 and 2020, that's too many

I agree.

Too much money are made.

I guess this is a purpose for this number.

300 is really a lot.

Yes I think so, although like I said my favorite superhero is Batman, and someone wrote a book about how you could become a real life Batman, that sounds kind of interesting actually

It was nice chat.
Thanks.
Have a great day!

You too and make sure not to watch too many superhero movies, like I said there are so many coming out that I feel overwhelmed!


Are you a fan of superheros?

I love super hero movies.
how about you?

I do, my favorite though is Deadpool.

Ok i only saw the first one mine would have to be captain america.

did you know that Garfield was a superhero?

Really, what were his powers?
Sleeping and eating Lasagna?

He had a cap and everything.

Apparently there are 300 real superheros registered in the US.

Wow, that is a lot.

Did you hear about the series created that deals with fixing the collateral damage caused by superheros?

I did that's sounds pretty cool, A female superhero is called a super-heroine

There is even a superhero that has no powers!

Yeah i heard that on a planet with nothing but super hero's he's normalman right?

Yes.
Pretty crazy concept.
But would be neat.

All of japans highways are tolls it cost $300.00 to travel across country.

Wow.

I guess if you only take toll roads in the US i guess it would be like that too.

Do you know who King Kalakaua was?
He was from Hawaii.

Wasn't he the first Kind to travel the world.

You got it.

must have been nice.

Did you know that there is a copy of the entire internet?

Yeah.

Which is good in the case it all goes down.

Well i guess you're right.

Are you part of the 7% of people who read the terms and agreement on internet purchases?

Definitely not.

Although I probably should once in a while.

Me too but don't sweet it were in the majority, lol!

the dutch are creating a commuter bus that travels a 160 mph.

That sounds really awesome and efficient.

Yeah a little dangerous too.
well nice taking with you.


Are you a Trump fan?

Not at all but I'd love to see the fake movie trailer he made for Kim Jong Un

What me too, lol!

I hear it had all the makings of a summer blockbuster!

Yea, they even got someone who sounded like Don LaFontaine's voice to narrate the trailer.

these people are suppose to be leaders of countries but act like children

You're right!

On a lighter note do you watch south park?

Yea almost everyday, their Family Guy episodes were hilarious

My wife loves that show i've never really seen it except for clips.

What i have seen was hilarious though.

Yea, the Simpsons crew like the South Park episode too and sent the producers flowers as a thank you

That was cool of them.

You know they tried to do a UK version of that 70's show?

Yea, it was called "Days like these" and only lasted 10 episodes, must of really sucked

Right, no body does drama and comedy like we do!

Switching up a bit you know that know one knows how old Kim is?

That's strange.

Yea, it's also ridiculous that people in Korea actually believe Kim Jong Un learned to drive at age 3

Right talk about dictatorship and apparently he's the sexiest man alive.

haha!

Kim Jong does edit picture to depict a different history so he probably edits his looks

Yeah he's walking in some serious dictatorial foot steps like Mao and Stalin.

Well I don't think Mao and Stalin had theme parks like Kim does

I think you're right.
Do you know Ringo Star?

Yea, he was the beatles drummer and even narrated Thomas the Tank Engine

Yea along with George Carlin and Alec Baldwin.

I love those guys especially Carlin he was hilarious as well.

Yea, Carlin had awesome stand up, surprised he voice Thomas the Tank Engine for 52 episodes

Yeah still nothing compared to the 750 episodes of pokemon, lol.

Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Good morning!

You like the drama genre?

I think it's fitting that it is considered a form of poetry.

I know so little about drama.

i did not know that it was a form of poetry.

Yes very cool.

The term drama is Greek in origin and means action.

Action?
really.
i would not have guessed that.
but i guess it makes sense.

Yes in a way it does.

The earliest works of dramatic theory is from Aristotle's Poetics.

Poetics?

Huh.

didnt know that.

What do you think of jim carrey's thinking about drama?

I am glad he holds that belief because he is better and more suited for comedy!

He is great at comedy.

I still think that drama can be positive though.

Yes in some ways it can.

Michael Caine is a positive actor I feel.

He got into acting for the pretty girls!

One of many reasons one could pursue a job!

Yep and it definitely worked out for him!

He is great!

Just like Jon Hamm who taught drama at his former high school.

I wonder if he was a good teacher?

I bet he was pretty good.

he is a good actor.

he probably helped his students' careers too.

Funny you should say that because one of his students was Ellie Kemper who played Erin from The Office.

Oh, yeah.

i know that show.

she is great.

she has had quite a career.

i wonder if she would be a good teacher.

Good question.

Maybe so.

I love The Office and there have been several guests on the show who bring their dog!

I love animals.

There are about 20 quintillion animals on earth!

That is quite a number!
I cant even imagine that number.
there are so few humans in comparison.

Yes so true.

To put it into a different perspective, that is 7 million animal species.

and we are just one species.

we need to recognize that we are part of a complex system, not above it.

Amen to that!

Well said partner.

The study of animals is called zoology!

Great talking with you on this fine morning!

Yes, it was great chatting with you!

Have a good one, bye!


Good evening!

He is in the news a lot, but do you know much about Kim Jong-un?

I don't, despite seeing him on TV or news sometimes with President Trump.

I heard about the summit Trump was invited to by him and when he showed up, he was the only one there.

Was it a joke, you think?

I know they met in 2018, but wasn't aware of any prank summit invites.

Who knows when it comes to the information North Korea shares.

If you believe them, Kim Jong-un was three years old when he learned to drive!

To make it even more far fetched, I heard on TV that Trump made a movie trailer looking to pitch to Kim to end militant hostility.

I'm not sure how Kim perceived it.

What do you think?

I tend to think he received it fairly positively.

Kim Jong-un is a lover of pop-culture like Trump and probably understood what Trump was saying.

Very interesting!

I wonder if it was a smart move after all...I heard Kim Jong Un's half brother used to be the one going to be the heir but when he tried to enter Tokyo Disneyland with a fake passport that dream was smashed!

Is this the same half-brother Kim Jong-un allegedly ordered an assassination attempt on?

I'm not sure...that's terrible!

Do you think that President Trump and Kim Jong Un will be as good of friends as Kim was with Dennis Rodman?

I don't think so, because he really loves the NBA in general, and seems to be very tight with Rodman.

It might help if Trump was a better basketball player!

LOL

I think you're right.

The relationship between Kim Jong Un and Trump is more like a business partner relationship.

I wonder if Putin will ever join them in a summit?

That would be something to see.

I would think that would lead to some sort of award from the UN.

I mean if EVE-online can get an award from the UN for creativity and e-content, surely a Trump/Kim/Putin summit would!

It's interesting that Kim has certain things that scare him even though he is a powerful leader.

In example, he cuts his own hair because he's got a fear of barbers.

Strange!

I guess being a dictator like that causes one to be very paranoid.

Nobody knows his age either, which is odd as well.

Did you see that Kim allowed North Korea to participate in the Olympics in the 2018 Pyeongchang games?

I remember that.

It's a big move and led to the first inter-Korean summit since 1953 when the Korean War effectively ended.

I think Kim might be trying to make some improvement for his people.

I heard he is having some theme parks renovated.

Perhaps it's only a try to get more money from tourism, though.

It could be.

Considering both Kim Jong-un and his father's love of film, I'm surprised they haven't invested more on their own film industry today.

I usually don't see news about Kim Jong Un on the television.

It's usually from the internet.

I wonder if he's ordered the news to not mention him much?

I don't know if I would put anything past them based on everything we have come to learn about him and his regime!

I've seen some pretty funny parodies of Kim Jong Un on TV before.

I think SNL has done a few.

I love their weekend update skit...it's the longest running one!

I think I'll go watch some SNL now, ttyl!

Thanks for the chat!


Did you ever watch House the TV drama?

No, what is it about?

Hugh Laurie is a doctor of sorts it's really funny he got paid 700,000 an episode.

Holy cow!

That's a lot of money!

I do like dramas though.

I know the term soap opera originated from such dramas being typically sponsored by soap manufacturers in the past.

Oh ok, Jim carry however refuses to do drama anymore.

Seriously?
Why is he refusing to do drama?

He stated that it goes against his belief system and doesn't project positivity.

Somehow I'm not surprised.

He seems to have gotten weird.

Not every actor does great I guess.

I like that Patrick Stewart teaches master classes for drama students in the UK.

Yeah Professor X is pretty cool or Captain Picard from star trek.

Oh yeak, although Star Trek used to really scare me as a kid.

Sorry to hear that but i can understand, Stephen King was scared of Bambi.

Do you like animals?

I do like animals.

Why was SK afraid of Bambi, do you know?

He said it was his first experience with a horror film.

I don't get it either.

There are 20 Quintillion individual animal species.

Wow!

That is a lot of animals!

Did you know that animals have dominant "paw" or side, just like humans?

No i did not.

Apparently domesticated animals develop a white spot on their foreheads.

Oh that is weird.

Now I'm going to have to look and see if my dog has one.

Right, lol!

You know Germany was the first country to give animals constitutional rights?

Oh, that's interesting.

I wonder what their rights are?

I know in Switzerland there's a lawyer who represents animals in court.

Sounds like a circus.

Apparently hiccups are a holdover from when we were land animals and birds.....

Oh, that is really weird.

Now you know what I'm going to think of every time I hiccup!

Yeah how ridiculous the thought that you came from a bird or monkey, lol.

Just kidding.

Theres a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.

Yeah, I bet there is.

Animals from geographically distant areas often speak different languages or dialects.

Well almost all animals can synthesis their own vitamin C but we can not.

I guess that's good since they can't just take a vitamin.

It was good talking today.

Thanks!

I learned a lot.


What do you think about Christine Woods?

She writes children's books but I've never read any of her work

I don't know - I have no opinion.

What do you think about her?

I know that she is a writer living Maine.

Is she a children book writer?

Yes they were children's books that apparently have a political slant.

One of them involves a duck that does not want to"lay eggs All Day"I'm ok with it but I would probably not give the books to my kids I would rather that they read green eggs and ham and dr. Seuss books

I agree with you.

Dr Seuss books are fun.

Woods was upset because the writers of the books that she criticized are women.

Well that is interesting.

But I have prefer to avoid drama with her because it sounds like there is a lot of drama, do you ever watch any drama movies or television shows

Yes, I do.
Did you watch House?
It was one of my favorites then.

Yes I love house!

I love that Hugh Laurie is perfect for the role and I think that he really deserves his $700,000 per episode

It was a lot of money then and it is still a lot of money now.

Yep absolutely, what do you think about Jim Carrey though?

He says he will never make another dramatic movie again because it does not promote positivity

No wonder I have not seen his work lately.

I thought he was just retired and it had nothing to do with his beliefs.

No it was definitely with his beliefs, what do you think about Michael Caine now?

He's not retired but he only started to act in order to chase girls LOL

It was funny, wasn't it?

Maybe he did not even realize that he could become a very good actor.

No I don't think so.

I also like the actor Jon Hamm Have you ever seen the show Mad Men?

No, I have not.

Please tell me about it.

Apparently, Ellie Kemper (Erin from the Office) was one of his high school students in drama.

Used to be a High School Drama teacher actually, and you're right one of his students was a future member of the TV show The Office

I did not know that there is a website where you can listen to many episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

Probably you are aware of it since you were a drama teacher.

Yes I heard about that but he never actually investigated yet LOL normally you get what you pay for and so if those are free they're probably not very good in my opinion

Probably they are okay but you have to hear a lot of ads.

Yeah I could see that.

On a different topic so what kind of animals do you like?

I'm personally a dog person

I'm a dog person.

But when my children were small, we had two cats and two dogs.

That's cool.

What kind of dogs were they?

Apparently there are about 1.5 million living species at the moment even though most of those are insects


Hi, how are you?

Good.

Did you hear that there may be a second US-North Korea summit in the coming months?

I did hear that.

It should be interesting.

Did you find anything interesting in the article?

I think using a "movie trailer" to kickstart a negotiation, and such a fragile one, is a good idea.

No doubt they are used in many business proposals across the world.

Yeah, I too thought that was inventive.

I guess it makes sense based on their shared love of pop culture.

Right.

It may not be in keeping with the stoic image of most international politics, but I like that it breaks the mold.

At the end of the day, will it be effective?

I am not sure.
WHat are your thoughts on it?

I think it's going to be a long process.

Like a dance.

NK has a long history of having to "stand up" to "the world" and that is a huge ship to turn.

Or the relationship between Canada and Russia: During the brisbane g20 summit, when putin shook the canadian prime minister's hand, the latter said "i guess i'll shake your hand, but i have only one thing to say to you.

you need to get out of ukraine."

It's important to lay out your position.

Televising not just the handshake, but also that message is greatly important.

Yeah.
I do like Justin Trudeau from Canada.
Seems like a good dude.

I don't know much about him.
Why do you like him?

I do.

Just seems like a nice guy with good values.

I don't think I share some of his values, but if he is willing to be blunt with Putin, I'm happy for that.

What do you think of Kim Jong Un's pop culture obsession?

I know he loves the US culture.
He watches old US TV shows.

While it could be childish, I like that he can enjoy things and be personable in that way.

Too many US politicians are unrelatable.

He was voted most sexiest man alive by the onion, china totally believes it.

I can see the parades now...

Hahaha.

I do wish he could take a joke better ... like with "The Interview", he could gain some real points for just taking a joke.

HA!
I forgot about that movie.
Remember the consipiracy with that?

Yeah, it was just weird how it was coming and then, it just released without going to theaters.

Was there more to it?

Nice chatting with you.


Hello,  how are you doing?

I dont know this actor/actress but thats sounds incorrect,  cuz didnt each of the FRIENDS cast make 1.2  mil every episode?

I don't know.

Sounds like that makes more sense.

Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas any more supposedly because of his belief in making movies projecting positivity

Hugh laurie is the highest paid actor ever for tv drama, earning $700,000 per episode in house... sorry I was referring to this comment and I noticed I didnt paste it in.

Jon hamm taught drama at his old high school interestingly and had ellie kemper as a student

Hmmm i dont know who they are.

Thats cool though.

Michael caine became an actor because all the prettiest girls at his school were in drama class.

did you see the two drama masks?

One is for comedy and the other for drama

no i didnt.

are they good?

There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free

Sounds like fun!

Especially war of the worlds would be interesting.

Right!

Do you like animals?

In 2002, germany became the first country in the world to universally give animals constitutionally-guaranteed legal rights.

Wow, I wonder what rights those were?

There are only about 20 qunitillion individual animals on planet earth

Same,  I wish some of these facts were more detailed,  they are very interesting!

Under the provisions of the 1912 scottish protection of animals act, the loch ness monster is a protected species.

I wonder who made that rule.

In animal facts they think that hiccups are from evolution when early land animals had gills and lungs.

I wonder how that works?

I have no clue,  but I wouldnt mind having gills if it meant I could swim better and faster lol

Would be different!

Animals hear well, but did you know that there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans?

I wonder if it causes fear in my family member who is worried about certain sounds.

Yeah i did know.

I wonder where they use it though,  scary movies,  scary theme parks,  thats so weird!

Maybe your family member should find out what this sound is.

Yes, interesting.

Most plants and animals synthesize vitamin c but humans whose gene is defective.

I didn't know that.

Yeah thats kinda weird,  just another daily vitamin we have to take lol Humans may have lost their body hair as recently as 240,000 years ago

Wonder where the body hair went?

Humans use tools more than any species and only we can build fires

Probably just fell off lol maybe the enviornment change and our bodies adapted.

Could be .

Did you see that humans are adapted for persistence hunting and we are among the best distance runners among all running animals.

Wish I knew that before, would have boosted my gym visits and ambition.

Great talking to you.
have a good one.


hi how are you?
do you like animals?

I love animals!

My favorite would probably be the Elephant, if I had to pick.

Elephants are really smart.
they understand so much.
the babies are cute too.

They are, I so want to cuddle a baby elephant, but I heard horrible things about some of the "sanctuaries"

I dont know much about the sanctuaries.
what happens there?

I listened to a podcast that said in order to get them to be ok with humans like giving rides and painting and other things like that tey have to crush their spirits as babies.

ok, that makes sense.

elephants were not meant to be used like horses.

they are not the same kinds of creatures.

they cannot thrive in that role.

No, they cant.

I think it is cool Germany gave animals rights.

Yes, i wonder what lawyers get the job of defending animals in cout.

Maybe the ones who also protect Nessie.

Nessie enjoys special rights.

boy the scots have gone off the deep end there.

which lawyer would defend Nessie?

Well, Nessie is a protected species.

I  mean if I could find Nessie, Id defend him?

her?

it?.

I think a group of local wizards have cast protective spells to stop Japanese scientists from blowing nessie out of the water.

How kind of them.

Maybe Hagrid will take Nessie on as one of his Magical creatures.

I was quoting from Napoleon Dynamite actually.

but that is a geek movie, and maybe you are not a geek.

I am a bit of a geek, hence the Harry Potter reference, but just dont remember that quote.

I do know we should Vote for Pedro though.

Yes, Vote for Pedro!

classic film.

I should check out the harry potter films again.

I have always been a fan.

Did you know there is a frequency that causes fear in humans?

yeah, i think that it is around 13 hertz.

real low, like an earthquake.

Anyway, great chat!

It has been!
Have a great night!

Have a good night!

Bye!


Morning.

How good is the Internet?

So good that it can cause real addiction measurable in the brain!

Good morning.

The internet is awesome and I can see why people can get addicted to it.

Yeah for sure.

There's even Internet capabilities at the peak of Mount Everest.

That's hard to believe.

The space station has faster internet than most American's do at home.

That too i hard to believe.

Luckily the library of alexandria has a copy of the internet just in case!

LOL....I wonder how that works.

Me too LOL.

Apparently the three horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger button.

I see the resemblance.

I did not know that and I work in IT.

Oh wow.

Interesting.

Did you know only 7% of people read the full terms when buying online?

I did not know that.
I am one of the ones that does not.

I too am guilty LOL.

Do you like to travel much?

The first king to travel around the world was king kalakaua of Hawaii!

I love to travel.

I didn't even know there was a king of Hawaii back in the day.

Yeah I wonder if he was regarded as a superhero?

There are over 300 registered superheroes in the United States.

Possibly lol.

That's a lot of superheroes.

I saw air travel is actually 10% slower today than it was back in the 1960's in order to save on fuel costs.

Yes it is LOL.

Well I would think we'd be able to get places faster not slower.

Maybe fuel is more expensive.

People in Mackinac Island don't need to worry about fuel because they travel by horse drawn carriage is her bikes.

I want to visit Mackinac Island.

Yet sounds like a really cool place.

I also want to visit Japan but it seems like car travel would be expensive as it cost more than $300 to travel across the country due to highway tolls.

That's a lot of money just to travel the country.

Yes it is.
It must be cheaper to travel by air!
Thats how they travel in Iceland!

I would hate to not have a public rail system.

Yeah that would make travel a lot harder.

But that's our lucky having buses designed to travel at 160 mph.

Well it was so good talking with you.

I'll see you later.


Hello!
How are you today?

Im great, do you like rapping?

I do!

Tupac was my all time favorite, how about you?

He is one of my favorites as well I also like Eminem and many others.

Can you believe Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist before rapping?

He did?

good thing he decided to rap, McDonals paid $5 to every rapper that reverenced big macs in their songs.

Oh Really?

I didn't know that!

I would be saying that every other word haha.

I like how there was a michigan judge who delivered he ruling to Eminem in a form of rap.

That is so funny and so unprofessional as well, there is a deaf rapper also have you heard of him before?

No I haven't, what's his or her name?

His name is Signmark and he uses sing language to rap, that would be interesting to watch.

I wonder if he has a translator that says the words for him when he does that?

Do you like to watch Pixar films?

I do like them yeah, The Penguins of Madagascar is a Pixar film right?

Yes they are.

Pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities.

I wonder what is in it?

They do?

it must be a really cool room, I wonder if John Cena ever got to see that room do you know who he is?

I do!

He's a famous wrestler.

He probably saw it but nobody could see him haha.

Yeah he is a famous wrestler but he also has a great heard, he granted over 400 wishes in the make a wish foundation.

That is so cool that he does that!

More people need to get on board with that!

I agree, help others in need.

Celebrities earn a lot of money so they have the resources to help others.

They really do!
Anyways, nice chatting with you!

Even YouTube celebrities earn a lot of money, Jenna Marble is one of them and it was nice chatting I agree, have a nice day bye.

She really does!
Thanks!


The Fyre Festival was a complete fraud.

It is a shame how they duped people and took their money

Agreed.

I'm so glad Billy McFarland who was the festival organizer was sentenced to six years in prison for wire fraud.

He deserves it!

He tried to get off by blaming his bipolar disorder, but they acknowledged that struggling with your mental health is not an excuse for manipulating people

Agreed.

Even after he repeatedly apologized, I'm so glad the court didn't show leniency.

Every criminal is sorry when they get caught, you know?

He did end up lucking out a bit.

He was facing up to 20 years in prison.

I think he should be thankful he did not get the max

Indeed he should be very thankful!

Well speaking of music festivals, are you a fan of rap, by chance?

These Korean rappers have invented this new freestyle rap called "compliment battle" I want to check out.

I bet it's interesting!

I have gained a new appreciation for rap over the last few years.I bet the Korean rap is fun to listen to.

They have unique music in Korea

Indeed.

Are you also familiar with Tupac Shakur?

His music is actually in the library of Congress of cultural significance.

That's pretty cool!

He is probably one of the most influential artists of the last 20 or 30 years.

It is amazing how popular he still is over 20 years after his "death".

Indeed!

It's such a shame he died so soon!

I tell you something else that would have been a shame is if Eminem pursued his dream of becoming a comic book artist instead of rap.

The world would have never known who he was and wouldn't have known his musical talent either!

Yes, I imagine he is much more talented in music than he is in art.

He made a good choice

Agreed.

Are you also familiar with Busta Rhymes?

He actually voiced the Reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie.

I kind of want to go back and watch it just to see if I recognize his voice.

Ha!

HIs voice really stands out, so I am surprised I never noticed it before.

I'm surprised as well.

What else surprises me is there was a judge in Michigan who delivered her ruling in a rap form while trying a suit filed against Eminem.

I bet that was hialrious.

Nice to know some judges have a sense of humor!

That is pretty funny.

I wonder how old Marshall Mathers took that.

I bet he had a good laugh.

I'd imagine that judge is a celebrity like Judge Judy now.

Speaking of Judy, can you believe she's the highest paid celebrity behind LeBron, making $123k per episode?

That is unbelievable!

Way to go Judy.

She has been at it for years.

She can buy a lot of black robes and gavels

Indeed she can!

Ha!

I wonder if she's ever visited Pixar's secret room that celebrities often visit?

A room average Joe's like me will never see!

I bet that Pixar has a lot of cool stuff in that room

I bet they do!

I wonder if they allow government officials in there?

Speaking of the government, I find it ironic that Wikileaks published the government's plans to eradicate Wikileaks.

Why?

The publish anything that they can get their hands on!

Pleasure talking with you today.

Have a good day


Do you think Trump should by buddying up to Kim Jong-un

No.

I don't think he's trustworthy.

Kim jong un has started to edit pictures to depict a different history just as previous communist leaders mao and stalin did.

He does have a degree in Physics and Military Studies

That's interesting.
I read that no one knows how old he is.
Bizarre!

I think him ordering the killing of his own family members is as cold as you can get.

Yes!

And Trump decided to meet with him, the first meeting between a US President and North Korean leader.

I don't think Kim has any respect for him whatsoever.

He had his half brother killed and uncle too so I doubt he has any admiration for Trump

I am sure there were many ulterior motives.

I didn't realize he is the first North Korean leader to have been born after the country's founding

Yep and he is the first one to allow his country's participation in the olympics too but under a agreement with the South

Interesting!

He and Trump meeting was to discuss the North Korean nuclear program.

I don't think he's going to give up his nuclear program.

I think he'll use it as leverage for negotiations to get what he wants

I didn't realize he is called "The Marshall"

They are all made up names.

The satire group The Onion voted him Sexiest Man Alive.

Haha

I think they were trolling him

There have been many famous meetings of international heads of state, which were have been called summits since 1955.

Trump is scheduled to have another Summit with Kim early next year

Oh boy!

Spain is the only country that has been a permanent guest at every g20 summit.

Maybe they should think of uninviting Kim, Trump and Putin...lol

That would be interesting!

During the brisbane g20 summit, when putin shook the canadian prime minister's hand, the latter said "i guess i'll shake your hand, but i have only one thing to say to you.

you need to get out of ukraine."

It was uncomfortable to watch Putin give MBS that handshake at the last Summit

I didn't watch, thankfully!
Nice chatting with you.
Take care!


Hi how are you?

Fine.
Have you heard of OAR a Russian band?

I have not, what about you?

No, just now I have...

I guess they were founded in 1994 and grew to 5.

They have spiked on Spotify.

I guess they havent come out with anything good recently since most of their success was in the mid 2000s.

Yeah, I don't even know what genre they are.

I know a song named "Shattered" by the Rolling Stones but not OAR.

Interesting.
Are you a hockey fan?

I'm not.

I respect the sport.

I do know that Canada is the only country with 2 national sports: lacrosse and ice hockey

Funny how in1993 a hockey player was traded for $1 and won 4 Stanley cups!

I guess it made him mad and motivated!

Wow, an average pro hockey player loses 8 pounds in a game!

Is it all the padding and stuff?

Probably 8 pounds of sweat!

Do you know why NY area code is 212?
It's easier to dial on a rotary phone.

Good to know!

Funny how it is impossible to separate 2 phonebooks that have their pages overlapped together.

Who would take the time to do that?

It's scary that an iPhone has more computing power than the US ICBM nuclear deterrent?

That is impressive.

Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell.

Guess no children are getting water!

haha

That's good of them.

Funny, cables for phones and internet that cross the ocean are rather small.

Only 2.7 inches in diameter.

Must be fiber-optic...

Probably!

Did you know in 2013 when google went down for 5 minutes it took 40% of web traffic with it?

I don't remember that.

I do know that Google Maps calculates traffic by how fast android devices are moving.

Scary that they are tapping into everybody...

It is crazy when you think about it!

It takes more computing power for one Google search that it did for the 1st Apollo moon mission.

Wow!

Amazing.

Google once used goats to mow lawns instead of people.

Wonder how that worked.

Funny how Google handles maps with disputed borders.

One gets the favored version depending on where the browser request came from.

Thanks for the chat!


Hi do you follow hockey?

i do not follow hockey.
i do not understand the sport.

It's where two teams play each other by trying to move a ball or puck into the opponent's goal using a hockey stick.

I'll throw some facts at you and you can learn a little bit.

Sound good?

Yes, it sounds good.
i will become one with the hockey.

LOL An ice hockey rink remains under a basketball court when switching stadium sports.

Amazing how they can change the floors like they do.

I guess that they have to be efficient about the space.

i wonder if the court gets cold.

I'm not sure how that works.

Be interesting to know.

An average pro hockey player will lose up to 8 pounds per game!

that sounds like the best weight loss programs around.

i should sign up.

lol Right?

Me too!

A hockey player was traded for $1 in 1993 and he went on to win 4 stanley cups.

I don't know his name though.

neither do i, but he must be a legend.

that is the way to do it!

Show up cheap, prove your value with championships!

Yes!

lol In 1924, the first Olympic winter games, Canada scored 132 goals and only let in 3 during the entire ice hockey competition!

They dominated the other teams that year for sure.

Canada is still good, but the world has caught up.

they must work harder to remain dominant.

Yes.

Canada is the only country in the world with two national sports - lacrosse and ice hockey!

That is unusual, but canada has extreme seasons.

i figure that they need a sport for hot and cold.

True.

Ok we'll switch topics...do you use google a lot?

I use google from time to time.

i need to look up gossip on my celebrity friends to embarrass them.

lol  I can't believe it's been over 20 years since google was founded in 1998.

The last 20 yeas have flown by for me.

I think that it will go faster for you in the future.

age gets even agier man.

I feel you.

Shhh...lol A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send astronauts to the moon!

That's amazing.

It's been fun chatting with you!

Yeah, it has been fun!
Have a good weekend!

Have a good one!


Isn't crazy the the Patriots won the 6th time??

Hi, it is crazy for sure.

Are you only a football fan or a fan of other sports too?

Well, I watched the Super Bowl for fun.
I was curious who would win.
Anyways, I am more of a basketball fan.

Same, and I'm definitely much more of a basketball fan too!

It's sad that both NBA and NFL players tend to go broke after retirement.

I am more of a Golden State Warriors fan myself.

What's your favorite team?

Well, not all of them.

They end up acting in movies or commercials.

There may be a deal coming up.

Mine is the Celtics!

That's true they do make a lot of endorsement money.

Spencer Haywood actually once took $100,000 over a 10% deal with Nike, what a mistake!

They are good as well!
I think Shaq did a sprite commercial.
How is that a mistake?

As in he took 100k INSTEAD of a 10% stake in Nike!

It would've been worth over 8.5 billion dollars now.

Wow, he could've waited or negotiated it.

Oh definitely.

Some people don't prioritize money in general.

Tim Duncan stayed in college all 4 years rather than go directly to the league.

That is true.

It may be part of their passion in what they want.

Look at Allen Iverson, he signed with reebok.

At the same time, I feel like they should put money above everything!

Like Stan Van Gundy got fined for saying the league shouldn't have games on Christmas.

Seems that they can lose money over anything

Maybe, he has a family.

You don't know.

However, he can go back to his family after the game.

There are people who think about money, but there are others who want to pursue a career to enjoy the rest of their lives.

Yeah that's definitely true.

If they wanted money baseball might have been a better call too.

Are you a baseball fan at all?

Well, I follow baseball based from what my cousins update me with.

I watch the Giants games when I have some money for "Me Time"

Ahah if only New York kept the Dodgers, they've been to many, many World Series games (unfortunately they've lost many as well).

That is sad to hear.

Is there a reason why the Canadian flag was upside down in 1992 of World Series?

No clue!

Baseball has a lot of wild things happen.

Once there was actually a 17 year old female pitcher, but she got banned after striking out Babe Ruth AND Lou Gehrig back to back.

That does not make sense.
Why would she get banned?

No clue!

Baseball really is weird.

Maybe they thought she'd be bad for the sport or something?

Maybe.
It was nice chatting with you.


Hey there do you ever watch baseball on TV or the World Series

hello,  yes I watch it sometimes.
Usually only if the Giants are playing.

I see I like the Yankees myself haha.

Did you know that baseball managers could actually play for their team if they had to

I know right,  lets hope they never have to though,  i doubt they are in shape to play .

That's a good point haha.

Do you know what they call kickball in Canada?

soccer-baseball?
Yeah kinda weird lol

It just does not sound as cool as kickball haha, did you know that baseball is super popular with the Japanese

Thats interesting,  do they have a league or professional teams?

Yes they do.

But I don't follow Japanese baseball so I don't know a whole lot about it unfortunately.

Did you hear about the guy that found $3000000 of baseball cards in his attic.

That would be insane

Thats amazing!
Good for them!

What are your thoughts in the World Series.

I guess the World Series began in 1903. the winner is the team who does the best-of-seven games

I do like baseball but I am not an avid follower.

Pretty cool that the Chicago Cubs were the first team to win back-to-back World Series Championships.

That's the only reason I like to root for them

yeah that is awesome,  too bad they haven't won since then lol

Yep that's true.

Very strange the Women's World Cup head higher television ratings than the entire world series of the United States.

But I guess the whole world is watching the World Cup

lol thats true.

When it comes to the NBA do you like Reggie Miller?

I dont really know what team he plays for.

Well he's a Hall of Famer.

Also apparently he was outshined by his older sister back in high school.

Can you imagine a great player like that being bested by his sister LOL

haha does she play professionally,  that seems weird lol

Well she played when they were both in high school apparently.

I don't know if she played since then haha.


Hey do you ever watch the World Series?

Apparently viewership has been declining over the years

I do watch it.

I'm a baseball fan.

The sport has been declining in popularity for years now.

So that doesn't suprise me.

Speaking of games and sports, what do you think about baseball?

I personally think it's incredibly boring

I like it because I played it.

I understand though why people find it boring.

They love it in Japan and a lot of Japanese fans are surprised to discover it's status as America's national pastime.

Yeah I'm curious why the Japanese like it so much, it's also interesting that in Canada they don't have kickball, they call it soccer baseball LOL

lol That's funny!

Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play if needed.

That would be interesting to see an 80 year old trying to hit a ball.

Yes I would love to see that!

That could be a sport unto itself.

what do you think about the guy who found millions of dollars a baseball cards in his attic?

I think he hit the jackpot!
Like winning the lottery.
lol

Oh definitely!

I wish my grandfather had baseball cards in my attic that I could find later for Millions LOL he's a lucky guy

Right?

LOL  Babe Ruth who was known for home runs was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 world series.

File that away in the "useless knowledge" category.

lol

LOL well at least it's interesting knowledge, what do you think about the World Series?

Like I said I'm really not a fan of baseball but it is interesting that the last time the Cubs won the World Series the Ottoman Empire was still a thing

Wow.

I also find it intriguing that they were the first team to win back to back titles and have't won since.

lol

Yep I agree that's crazy!

I think it's weird to that women's soccer has higher television ratings than the World Series LOL I don't know who watches soccer because I don't

I don't either.
lol  Do you watch the NBA?

I watch it sometimes.

I really like Michael Jordan because I always had a pair of his Air Jordans as a kid

Nice.

They were banned by the NBA, but Jordan wore them anyways because Nike was willing to pay the fine each game.

Yep that was really smart!

Do you think that you would shoot granny style in the NBA?

Apparently scientists say it's the best way to shoot the ball

I would try it and tell everyone it is scientifically approved.

LOL

LOL well if I made how much Allen Iverson makes, which is $800,000 a year, I would shoot however someone told me was best LOL

That's some good money.

...and how about the $32 million lump sum payment he will get as part of the big endorsement deal?

cha-ching!

Yeah he's definitely not going to be hurting for money LOL.

I think it's interesting that Tim Duncan didn't just go into the NBA immediately, he finished his degree, he probably lost some money unfortunately on that


Good morning!
Do you watch any baseball?

Hi!

I love baseball!

What about you?

I also love kickball aka "soccer baseball" as the Canadians call it.

Ha!

I do too.

I didn't know until recently that the whole reason managers wear uniforms is so they can play if needed.

I just thought that they wore them because they are part of the team.

Same here.

That makes a lot of sense though but I wonder how good they'd actually be.

Ha!

I can't believe that the Japanese baseball fans were surprised to learn baseball is America's national pastime!

That is surprising.

There are some good players that come from that country though.

Agreed.

I wonder if that guy who found three million dollars worth baseball cards in his grandfather's attic from the 1900s had any Japanese baseball player cards in that collection?

I don' t know.

Did they play back then?

Regardless, i wish I could find something like that in my attic.

Same here.

I need to go explore some attics.

Ha!

But can you believe a married couple are the two who scheduled all 2430 MLB games each year for 24 years up until 2005?

Seriously?

Somehow I always pictures a bunch of men in an office doing it.

I wonder how they got the job.

As did I!

I think it's kind of sad the Ottoman Empire still existed the last time the Cubs won a series.

Lol!

I know what you mean.

It makes it seem like a really long time ago when you think of it that way.

Speaking of a long time ago, can you believe Babe Ruth got caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 series and they were down by one run?

I bet fans weren't too happy about that!

I can't believe Babe Ruth ever made a mistake.

Movies and such make him out to be the perfect player.

No kidding!

Now a mistake is the color guard who carried the Canadian flag upside down into the stadium at the 93 world series.

That really happened?

That is a glaring mistake.

So do you think having playoffs is a mistake?

Before 1969 they just had the two teams with the best records play in the series.

I guess the playoffs are better since it gives division leaders a chance to prove themselves, ya know?

So are you also a fan of the NBA?

I didn't know that Air Jordan's were initially banned during their introduction but Jordan wore them anyway because Nike agreed to pay the time each game.

That's a great way to market them!

It is a great way.

It makes them seem more rebellious and that really appeals to some people.

Agreed.

Since we're on the subject of basketball?

Did you know that physicists have proved shooting granny style is the best technique to score points on the line but the players won't do it because it looks stupid?

No I didn't.

It seems funny to picture players using it though when you think about it.

It would definitely change the game.

True.

But I guess when you're the highest paid athletes in the world by average annual salary, the last thing you want to do is look stupid in a game!

That's for sure.

Especially when you get life long endorsement contracts like Allen Iverson.


Hi, how are you this morning?

Hello there, I am good thank you, how about you?

I'm well, thanks for asking.
Do you like baseball?

I do enjoy baseball, I watched a ton this year due to a major injury and my team did really well!

How about you?

I watch a little when I'm not havingto work.

I always try to watch the World Series, though.

Yeah the world series is usually pretty fun to watch.

Do you know how many baseballs are used in a typical season?

No, how many?

I guess it's as many as 160,000!
Now that is a lot of baseballs!

Yes, it is.
Who is your favorite team?

That really is, I like the Milwaukee Brewers.

Do you have a team that you follow?

I'm a loyal Chicago Cubs fan!

Nice!

You had a really good season a few back and we had a good game this year (well not so good for your Cubs!

), but it was fun to watch.

Yeah, we were the first team to win back to back World Series, though!

Yeah they were, good call.

Did you know the league once banned a 17 year old pitcher?

Who was female!

No, I hadn't heard about that.

I guess she struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in a single season.

Cool!

Although I did jus find out that the managers wear uniforms because technically they are able to play for their teams if the need arises.

I think I have read that before as well, I think it would be so wild to see your manager take an at bat!

Yes, it would.Did you hear about the man that found three million dollars worth of old baseball cards in his grandfather's attic?

Yeah I did, wouldn't that be something.

If I were him, I would sell $2 million, and keep the other cards and let them sit for my grandchildren can find them one day as well.

That's a good idea!

Well, it's been fun and fast chatting with you this morning.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, friend!


The O.A.R.

refers to Olympic Athletes from Russia wut is also the name of a band.

Did you Google that?

A single google search requires more computing power than it did to send the astronauts to the moon.

The International Olympic Committee banned the OAR from South Korea unless they were individual competitors who proved they were clean

I guess the members of the band OAR thought that was somewhat of a coincidence.

Probably didn't think many people made the connection.

Well the band got more publicity due to that.

They did collaborate on a Duracell battery ad for the 2012 London Olympics

Yeah, I see a 46 percent increase.
That's pretty substantial.

They were pleasantly surprised.

I guess so.

Nothing like getting a boost in popularity happen due to nothing they did themselves.

I bet I could learn even more by searching on Google.

Goodgle searches have more than doubled on the band.

Well good strategy to market I guess.

Hockey is the national sport of Canada along with lacrosse.

Canada has been great at Hockey for a long time.

In 1924 they outscored their opponents 132 - 3.

In 1993 a hockey player was traded for $1 and won four stanley cups

That's quite the bargain for the team that acquired him.

If he goes by the average player, he loses 8 ponds in each game.

Did you hear that Unicef donates a day of clean water to children in need if you don't use your cell phone.

It donates per minute of nonuse

I was unaware of that.

HArd to believe many people can go a day without using their cell phones.

An iphone has an incredible amount of computing power.

google searches need more computing power than sending neil armstrong and 11 other astronauts to the moon.

I knew that.

On August 16th when Google crashed it took 40% of web traffic with it.

Pretty impressive.

When google went down in 2013 for 5 minutes it took 40% of traffic with it

That's what I just said.

They are a very innovative company.

Instead of using mowers to cut their lawn, they used goats.

That is genius.

But they must have some geniuses to be so successful.

They saved some money probably using goats.

Most likely.

They have been around since 1998, and likely will be around for much longer.

Who knows what is next with all the innovations.

Google maps is very fast and who knows what speed and technology will do next.


Hi, how are you?
Do you like music and TV?

Yes I really like music.

I even like Katy Perry, her real last name was Hudson though which is weird

I wonder why she would change from Hudson to Perry.

Is Perry such a great name?

Does she have a Perry in the family?

That's a good question!

Also interesting that she pursued gospel music when she was just a teenager, and has received 11 Grammy nominations but never won

Wow, that must be incredibly frustrating.

Always invited, never welcome.

Ouch.

That must hurt.

Yep I be really annoyed if I were her, I'd also be annoyed if my husband broke up my marriage with me via text, like how Russell Brand did

Russell probably was worried that she would go nuts.

I think they were married for a month or something?

I don't understand what either was thinking.

No it doesn't make any sense, but at least Russell Brand was eligible for 20 million dollars from the divorce, but turned it down, I guess he's a nice guy in that sense

I think he's got many other sources of income.

He would have looked pretty bad, like he married her for the cash.

Russell is an unusual guy, but I don't think he's evil.

Pretty weird in my opinion haha, have you ever heard of Katy Perry's song ET?

Originally meant to be performed by Three 6 Mafia apparently

No I have not.

ET?

Extra terrestrial?

Don't know it.

I've heard that every single Katy Perry hit song was written by this unassuming 30-something guitarist

That's interesting, and yes it's actually a good song A lot of people have copied off of it actually.

You should check it out on YouTube, or watch it on television

I guess I should give it a listen.
I don't really know her music.
Do you follow the Academy Awads at all?

I did not watch the Academy Awards this year, but I do like Daniel Day-Lewis, he's won three awards for best actor which is insane

I do like him too.

He's great.

Tom Hanks won two.

I didn't know that Blazing Saddles was nominated for 3 Oscars.

Yeah I didn't know that either, it's also interesting that Walt Disney has the record for most Academy Awards for one man, 22

He really had a gift.

I think the company always invests in quality, no matter what.

Over the long haul, it pays off.

Well what is crazy is that Eminem has a lot of oscars actually, more than Johnny Depp Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith George Lucas, and Bill Murray combined!

I wonder who else has more Oscars than the big guys.

Yes Leonardo DiCaprio in my opinion should definitely have an Oscar.

I didn't watch them this year so I don't even know who hosted, but I think Jimmy Kimmel hosted them last year

He should have three of them, I think.
Anyway, great chat!

Yes thanks, I'll probably watch them yet next year though assuming there is a really good host, I think they always give out 24 Awards still those shows do take some time


Hi!

There was some interesting trivia in the facts I just read.

For instance, it said Daniel Day-Lewis is the only actor have won an Oscar 3 times for Best Actor.

I always thought Tom Hanks had done that too, but maybe not.

I have no idea how many Tom Hanks won, he probably had more nominations.

Probably so.
Are you a Katy Perry fan?

I think she's interesting, but I'm not really into her music.

I wasn't a fan of her husband either - Russell Brand

Oh really?
I like some of her songs.
They get stuck in my head sometimes.
I agree with you about Russell Brand.

I mean, I guess he's sort of ok considering he didn't claim $22 million int he divorce, but I can't stand his films or comedy.

hahaha.
Good point on the divorce money.
I don't enjoy his movies either.

I guess my main problem with Katy is that whole "pure gospel singer to sexy pop-star" thing.

I don't buy it.

Yeah.

It's a little much, especially with as provocative as some of her songs are.

And her purely sexy appearances on SNL and Sesame Street, lol.

I forgot about Sesame Street.
LOL Poor Big Bird.
haha

I think Elmo was more traumatized!

Most definitely.

I still laugh at the thought of the dancing sharks at her halftime show for the Super Bowl.

Ugh, the Super Bowl halftime shows are unwatchable now...

Almost as unwatchable as the UK 70's show remake xD

hahaha!

Nice segway.

I'm not really surprised that show didn't translate to the UK.

I hadn't ever heard of it til now.

It's usually us(the US) that make horrible remakes of UK shows.

Very true.

Although, I was a fan of The Office (US) more so than the British version.

Steve Carrell just cracks me up.

Yeah, that, and Three's Company are the only US remakes of UK tv shows I can think of that did well.

I had no idea Three's Company was a remake.

Now I want to see the British one - maybe I can find that online?

You should be able to.

In a million years I couldn't tell you the name of it without googling it though

I'll have to investigate.
:) Thanks for chatting with me.
Have a great evening!


Do you like to dance ?

haha only at parties, did you know that Bruce Lee actually won a cha cha championship?

He was a great dancer

I am not surprised, kung-fu is like dancing, with more pain.

haha I like that, ballet dancers go through pain too, a professional can actaully go through 4 pairs of shoes a week

Why nobody has invented something more durable ?

4 a week seems wasteful.

haha I agree with you, do you like Michael Jackson though?

He actually patented his extreme leaning device that he uses on stage

That is smart from his part, he would not want to see copycat, it would cheapen his moves.

haha no I agree, did you ever listen to Tupac?

hes a hardcore rapper but apparently he did ballet in high school, thats unexpected!

Dancing is an important part of our culture, like horror movies, do you like them ?

yes I like horror movies, do you think that Bambi should be considered a horror movie?

Stephen king does hhaa

Maybe, its mother dies in the movies, children don't like to know that.

But children don't know anything about horror, the actor that played the kid in the shining did not even know that he was in an horror film.

haha well thats good he would probably be creeped out, do you know if they used a waterphone in that movie?

Its an instrument that makes creepy sounds

do you know a movie where it was used ?

I don't watch them, a just a very few of them.

they use it in horror and scifi movies actually, but I don't know which ones exactly

Do you watch a lot of horror movies ?

I don't they stress me out, they can burn up to 180 calories.

That is half a hamburger, a small one.

I would not eat a big one before seeing a horror movie.

haha, well I need to watch more to lose some weight!

also I guess you will appreciate abstract art more after watching a horror movie, which is interesting

Why is that ?

Maybe because it makes you me alert.

I prefer things that relax me, like traveling.

ya it must be, and yes I like to travel I'm traveling 4 hours north tomorrow morning, would you ride a bus that goes 160mph?

If it was on rails, I would not mind.
But that is called a train.
160 MPH on public roads is dangerous.

ya that does seem fast, I would be annoyed to travel to japan and try to drive on their highways, they are all apparently toll roads

That is a lot, such for a small country.

Imagine that for the US, it would cost 30 000 $.

lol you're right, japan is small and it would cost $300 to travel across the country, who knows what it would cost here!


do you like dance?

I love it.

Do you know which dance she did when she was auditing for GoT?

I have no idea , what dance was that?

It was the chicken and the robot dance, that woman really

WOw that is funny.

Did you know that Bruce Lee was a dancer?

He was, what kind of dance?

He was actually champion in cha cha dance

WOw that is cool.

Did you know that Mr. Rogers learned to break dance in one of the episodes?

WOw that is cool.

Did you know that babies dance as soon as they hear music?

That is so cute.

Dd you know that parrots also dance really well to the music?

Nice.

Babies also smile more when they hit the beat

Nice.

For parrots they think this is why they are so good at mimicking people

That makes sense.

TUpac was a ballet dancer and took part in the nutcracker

That is so cool.
Do you like horror movies?

I like some of them, you burn more calories watching them

Oh that is nice.

Inception was supposed to be a horror movie originally

WOw that would be different.

Do you know which movie Stephen King thinks is the scariest?

I have no idea but I am curious to hear about it

Well he thinks it is Bambi, the cartoon with the deer

Wow I would have never guessed that.

ET was also supposed to be a horror movie

I guess people love writing horror movies


hey my friend do you like to dance?

Not really.

How about you?

I would love to try the ballet slippers that make drawings from the dancer's movements.

ah that is a cool idea, did you know that Bruce Lee was actaully a great dancer?

No, I did not kow that.

So Michael Jackson was famous for dancing.

The first moonwalk was actually performed by tap dancer Bill Bailey in 1955 though.

wow that is cool, and ya Bruce Lee won the Cha Cha championship in the year he performed

Nice!

Did you ever watch Mr. Rogers?

There was an episode where he learned to break dance.

yes I did watch that show that sounds fun!

Have you ever played music around a baby?

apparently they will dance to the beat haha

Hmm, not sure if I've ever seen a baby go to the beat though it is cute.

Do you know who Emilia Clarke is?

I do, shes in Game of Thrones, I think shes a bad actress though, your thoughts?

I don't know who she is but she did the funky chicken and robot dance at the audition for Daenerys Targaryen.

ah weird, and yup I could see her doing that, did you know a ballet dancer can go through 4 pairs of shoes a week?

Interesting!

A dancer from Morocco who could not dance because of an injury decided to turn to photography instead.

Do you like photography?

I think it's ok, what about you?

Its funny to me that Tupac was like a hardcore rapper but he did ballet in high schoool lol

That is so funny.

I would never have guessed.

I think photography is important to document places and people.

I'm glad people like Yoriyas from Casablanca are documenting their hometowns and events.

that is interesting, and ya did you hear about Stephen King's first horror movie he saw?

No, I have not!

Did you know inception was meant to be a horror film?

no but I could see that, the concept is scary, and ya he considers bambi to be his first horror movie he saw haha

That is funny!

ET was also supposed to be a horror film.

didn't know that, whats cool is you can burn like 200 cals when watching a horror movie, I need to watch more and lose weight!

The movie scream was supposed to be called scary movie.

ah interesting, a scary movie to me would be to go to Mackinac Island, no cars and full of horses that I'm allergic to haha


HI there, do you enjoy dance?

Hello, yes very much so.Bruce Lee was a great dancer too, same as Tupac

Yeah I heard he was a champion and Tupac danced ballet, that is something

Yeah what legends.

DId you know ballet dancers use 4 pairs of shoes a week?

THat is a lot of shoes and also a lot of money.

Babies are pretty awesome dancers too

Yeah and they smile much money when they hit the beat.

SO cute

Yeah that is pretty neat.

How about movies, do you like to watch them?

I sure so.
I like comedies and horror movies both.
And you?

Nice, I like them too.

Do you know what Stephen Kind thinks is the scariest movie?

I heard he thinks it is Bambi, which I guess it makes sense if you watch it as a kid

Yeah good point.

Do you know how they make those creepy noises in horror movies?

They use an instrument called the waterphone.

but I am not sure what it looks like

Yeah that sounds creepy, so much as to cause you to burn more calories when you watch horror movies

Yeah about 180 calories moire, helps if you are on a diet I guess

Yes that is true.
Have you seen the SHining?

I have and apparently the guy, Danny, did not know he was in a horror movie for years

Wow, I guess he was not afraid on set.
Do you travel much?

I do sometimes.
Have you ever been to Japan or Iceland?

I have been to Japan but not Iceland.

It cost me $300 to travel across the country with a car, lots of tolls

Wow that is a lot.

In Iceland there is no rail system so they have to fly by plane or drive the car

They have really rough terrain maybe that is why.

The Dutch are putting together a bus that goes 160 mph though, pretty cool

Nice, I would really like to ride that one some day


Do you like American Idol?
Apparently it's back now.

I just heard that!
I used to watch it.
Do you?

Yeah I watched the first season.

It was cancelled because it was supposedly failing, however that is only if it is compared to its peak.

It was still pulling in nine million viewers before it was cancelled which is a good amount.

Ryan Seacrest was sad when they ended it.

Bet hes happy its back.

Yeah, he was basically in tears.

Are you a Katy Perry fan?

Not really though sometimes I find myself singing along.

How about you?

Same here.

She apparently is the only artist to tie Michael Jacksons record of 5 billboard number 1 singles from 1 album.

She has received 11 grammy nominations and has never won.

That is surprising to me.

Im sure she will eventually!

Right, though she is not my favorite I think she definitely deserves it.

I also don't think she deserved to have her marriage ended via text.

That is messed up.

I did not know her real name was Katy Hudson.

Interesting.

Where did the Perry come from?

Was it just made up?

I guess her debut album under her real name wasn't successful.

I don't think I had even heard of it.

Same.

Good question.

She actually dated the singer of relient k. I used to listen to them a lot.

Interesting.

Was that before or after Russell Brand?

At least Russell Brand did not claim the $22 million he was entitled to.

I think it was before.
Do you like to watch tv?

Sure.
I mostly like Netflix.
How about you?

Same here.

Did you know Homer Simpson held 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes?

I didn't know that!

I really like Bart.

There is only one episode where he doesn't appear and isn't mentioned.

That is weird.
Maybe he was sick or something!

Yeah, I wonder!

Maybe the actress who plays him was sick or maybe they just did it for the kicks.


I was shocked to hear that Eminem had so many awards

I'm not surprised, he has a lot of hits.

I really enjoy his newer music

Yeah, he has made some good stuff.

Did you know most of the deals on shark tank are never enacted?

No I didn't know that they have some pretty interesting people on the show

I've only seen it a few times, but it was good the few times I've seen it.

Have you ever watched the show American Idol, It is back on the air now on ABC

I've seen it.

I stopped watching a long time ago though.

Katy Perry is one of the judges now so maybe it will be better

Interesting, has she had a hit recently?

It is reported that she is going to get a nice chunk of money for being on the show

I bet.
They have to pay the celebrities a lot.
Do you know how much?

$25 Million

WOW!

That's a ton of money.

I'm in the wrong business.

Apparently it has gotten off to a rocky start.

They were worried that because Kelly Clarkson was on the voice that they wouldn't get the ratings

Yeah, was she on American Idol at one point?

yeah she was the winner of the first season

Oh Yeah!

I forgot, do you know who else is going to be on other than her and Seacrest, or is that it?

luke bryan and lionel richie but they are not making as much as katy

I didn't even know Lionel Richie was still around.

His daughter was on TV with Paris Hilton.

Thats right Nicole.

They are paying him $10 Million for the show

Interesting!
So she's on and not her father?


do you like Jay-Z?

he is good.

Did you know he went to high school with notorioug big and busta rhymes

Yeah and they used to have rap battles in the lunch room

yeah pretty cool.

Did you he pulled the AMerican Gangster album from iTunes?

Yes because he said songs should not be sold one by one

Yeah he compared it to movies where frames are not sold one by one

Yeah.

He was also a ghostwriter for the SPace Jam soundtrack

Right.
do you use your phone much?

All the time.
Do you know why NY area code is 212?

That is because it was a quick number to call on a rotary phone

Yeah.
Did you ever use a phonebook?

I do not actually but I hear if they get stuck together it is hard to separate them

Yeah.

Did you know UNICEF provides clean water when we do not use the phone?

Nice one.

The cables for the phones are in the bottom of the sea and only 2.7 inched thick

Wow, how do the animals not get tangled on them?

I wonder too.
Do you like rap music?

Some of it, like TUpac and Eminem's music

Nice.

Did you know Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist?

yeah because he really liked spiderman

Yeah.
Do you know what compliment battle is?

That is the rap style they practice in South Korea


Hey there did you hear how George Zimmerman was recently charged with stalking?

Hello.

Again?

He sure has a problem minding his manners.

Was it the private investigator?

Yes it was.

The private investigator had contacted him about creating a documentary regarding Trayvon Martin actually

I remember he sent an article to him, along with a threatening message.

I don't understand how he is roaming around, free.

Yes I'm not sure how that all worked out.

It's kind of exhausting to think about.

Zimmerman even made a threat to Jay-Z apparently

I'm not a fan of Jay-Z, but they need to do something with that man.

Seriously, tweeting a photo of Trayvon Martin's body is in bad taste, no matter who you are.

I agree with you.

It's interesting that Jay-Z's real name is Shawn Corey Carter, I never knew that

LOL.

Did you really think his parents named him Jay Z?

He also went to school with Busta Rhymes & DMX.

I'm sure their parents gave them boring names too.

Yes and don't forget he went to school with a Notorious BIG, that school must have something special in the water LOL

They must.

I think its hilarious that he named one of his albums "Kingdom Come", and hada song about Superman.

That is crazy!

I'll have to listen to that album, do you like the song Empire State of Mind btw?

I've never heard it.

I'm more of a Snoop Dogg fan.

I love his duet with Katy Perry, California Gurls.

See I like Empire State of Mind, it was written by Jay-Z who collaborated with Alicia Keys, I like them more but that's just me haha

My favorite is actually Tupac.

I think it's awesome that his music is in the Library of Congress.

Yes you're right, they said that his work had"cultural significance" what do you think about Eminem by the way

I didn't like him, until five years ago.

Did his voice change, like Elton John's did?

I'm not sure did it change?

I just know that when he was a kid his favorite superhero with Spider-Man, I definitely would not have guessed that

That is odd.

I would have thought Captain America.

Have you heard the Korean style of rap called Compliment Battle?

I have heard of that.

I like how it is more positive than the other types of rapping that can go on.

Have you seen the 1998 Rugrats movie by the way?

A very long time ago.

Didn't one of the rappers voice the dino?

Haha yes Busta Rhymes did the voice for Reptar, which is the dinosaur in that movie


How's it going?

Do you listen to rap?

I listen to Jay-z sometimes, I really like The Blueprint released in 2001

I think Jay-Z  is a great performer, his had contributioins with other great artists like Bustha Rhymes and also with Linking Park

Yea, it's interesting that Jay z, dmx, busta rhymes, and notorious big went to the same high school

I heard they used to have rap battles back then, a lot of talent in that school,

Yea, I would love to listen to rap battles between Jay z, big, dmx, and Busta Rhymes, it's a shame they haven't released a song together

Maybe they will someday, that would be an interesting colaboration, Jay Z pulled one of his albums from Itunes

Yea I remember he didn't put american gangster on itunes, I wonder how much money he lost from that decision

I bet he lost a lot of moeny because of that, Tupac was another great rapper

Yea, he's my favorite rapper, glad to see his music is in the library of congress

Its part of american culture now!
Busta Rhymes is also really skilled,

Yea Busta Rhymes is very talented, he even did the voice of the reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie

That was a great movie!

I used to love the Rugrats, great show, I watched them as a kid

I like Rugrats too, I guess a lot of rappers have unique interests, like Eminem, he wanted to become a comic book artist as a kid

He did?
tha would have been funny to watch lol

Yea Eminem is a huge comic book fan, his favorite hero is Spider-man

Spiderman is a great hero so that makes sense, seems like you know a lot about Eminem?

are you a fan of his music?

Some of his earlier stuff, funny thing is in 2001 a judge delivered her ruling in a rap in a suit filed against Eminem

That seems unprofessional lol, did you know that korean rappers invented a new style?

seems kind of lame

Yea, compliment battle, I'm glad I don't know Korean lol

I would like to understand Korean just to make fun of that lol, compliment battles, people just dont know what to make up these days

lol, well I got to go.
Nice talking with you.


Hi, are you a fan of Jay-Z?

I am indeed a fan of Jay-Z and especially the style of rap that he brought forth in general

I have always liked him and the fact that he doesn't have to be super trashy in his songs to make a good song.

I was surprised to learn he went to school with DMX and Busta Rhymes and the Notorious BIG

Yeah it's super funny that he had a rap battle in the lunchroom.

Seems like something straight out of a movie!

Lol I could totally see that.

and I had no idea that California girls was an answer to empire state of mind.

Its funny sometimes the things they battle over.

What do you feel about the state of rap right now considering where rap has first originated from.

Rap lyrics and music go all the way back to ancient Egyptian practices!

Honestly I prefer old school rap.

I just feel like nowadays its all about who can be the crudest person in their song.

They say some crazy things and its just acceptable.

Yes I agree with you.

Rap used to be somewhere in between speech and singing.

Now there's such thing as mumble rap where you cannot even distinguish meaning of the words.

Exactly yet they get paid millions.

Just nothing compared to the older songs

Did you know that there used to be a huge west coast versus west coast beef that Jay-Z was a big part of?

no what was it

songs such as katy perry and snoop dogg's california girls was actual a west coast vs east coast answer song to alicia keys and jay z's empire state of mind!

I assume it was just a joke not meant to be serious

Jay Z was a very violent man in the beginning of his rapping career with a history of abusing women.

I was unaware of how violent he was.
That is suprising.

It certainly is suprising.

I enjoy his music but I do not like him as a person.

Well hopefully he is a changed person.

Yes hopefully he is.

Chaning the subject, I think the telephone was the most influential invention of the 20th century.

What do you think?

that or the internet

It's amazing that recent inventions like the iPhone can have so much memory and computing power?

I know and they keep improving at quick rates

Yeah it  becomes quicker and quicker as well.


Hey did you know that no woman has ever been nominated for the Academy Awards for best cinematography?

No i did not know that, are there a lot of women who do Cinematography?

I'm not sure, I just know that it's the only Oscar category that has never nominated a female.

Well i like to think that they will in the near future.

do you know Hugh Laurie?

Yes from House!

He's a great actor, and the highest paid TV drama actor ever.

Right 700,000 per episode is ridiculous but you're right he is hilarious.

You know why Michael Caine became an actor?

Yeah that's a lot of money.

And Michael Caine is another great actor.

He became one because all the pretty girls were in drama class at his school!

Right.

Apparently there is a website where you can listen to thousands of free episodes of classical dramas.

That's pretty cool.

And speaking of dramatic actors, apparently Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore because he only believes in acting in movies that project positivity.

Drama is life and there's positivity there in my opinion but to each his/her own.

Agreed.

And I felt like Ace Ventura was pretty positive haha.

It made people laugh.

I still watch it and laugh to this day.

On a different note 80% of the earths natural rain forest are already destroyed.

I know.. it's a really sad statistic and humans are to blame.

If the Earth's entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period, we'd only represent 1 minute and 17 secs.

Wow that's deep.

I'm still trying to figure out how they know that when the earth was formed a day was only 5.5 hours long.

Maybe the Earth's rotation has slowed over time?

And by the end of the 21st century the Earth will be virtually helium free.

Yeah i read that some where.

You know that the united nations appointed an Ambassador to extraterrestrials just in case.

Hahah just in case if ET phone home?

That would be wild to see aliens visit earth in our lifetime.

It would, i'm one that subscribes to...it's a big universe who knows whats out there.

We are just a drop in the bucket.

I agree!

I believe all possibilities are endless.

The gravitational interaction with the earth and the moon cause ocean tides.

It's amazing how the Earth interacts with other objects in space, especially the moon and the sun!

Great chat!

Yeah you right and there's still so many unanswered question.

Nice chatting with you as well.

I see where 3rd rock from the sun came from.

The earth is the 3 planet from the sun, lol!


hi, how are you?

I am good thank you.
I love TV and movies.
One of my favorite genres is drama.
Do you enjoy drama?

I enjoy drama but I also like the suspense that involves drama movies.

Do you know that no women have never been nominated for best cinematography for an academy award?

I did not but that's pretty upsetting.

I'm sure there are many talented female cinematographers.

I am with you I can believe that now a days the society still have this kind of bias, it is very disturbing.

It is.

You would have thought we had come further than we have.

Are you familiar with Hugh Laurie?

I have heard that he is a very well paid actor.

That he gets paid a very large a mount of money per episodes, sometimes I think that they loose the respect for money on cases like this

Yes he was very well paid for House.

$700,000 per episode making him the highest paid actor for a TV drama ever.

wow that is very interesting do you like Jim Carey?

I liked his older stuff but I can't remember the last thing he did that I liked.

That is so true.

The Mask for me was hilarious but I feel that he kept acting the same way in others movies and lost versatility.

I agree that it got a little tiresome.

Then he went to drama and the first several like Eternal Sunshine were very good but then he just seemed a bit pretentious.

That is true, are you interested on environmental issues?

Do you know that 80 percent of natural forest have been already destroyed?

I am very interested.

I did not know that.

I find that to be very sad.

Trees are a renewable resource so we should really make sure we are planting more to make up for some of that.

So true we all need to be conscious about our actions, by the end of the 21st century the Earth will be helium-free, that means no more pretty balloons.

I had heard that we were getting low on that gas.

It's so strange.

Did you also know that a day was only 5.5 hours long when the Earth was first formed?

to be honest I always thought that it was a man made gas.

It is very surprising how humans are able to figure out all of this things without being there or even exist

I know it's a natural gas.

It's on the periodic table.

I wonder if they will have to remove it when it's gone?

probably the will remove it, you know that an actual year last 365.26days?

I had no idea that we rounded down.

Are leap years somehow making up for that?

I didn't think about that but I am pretty sure that maybe that is the main reason for those leap years.

It would be an interesting thing to look into to.

It was very nice chatting with you.

You gave me a lot to think about.

Have a nice day.


Hi, do you like movies?

Sure, when I have the chance.
How about you?

I love it, One of my favorite actor is Jim Carrey, he used to perform dram but not anymore!

I think he's great in comedies.

Not sure if I remember any of his dramas.

I remember Truman show, it was great but he wants to project pure positivity and he is good at that

Oh, true.

I did watch that.

I prefer to watch comedies over drama though I did used to like to watch House.

Me too.

Did you know how much doe Hugh Laurie gets paid per episode?

I heard it is $700000 per episode, making him the highest paid actor ever in tv drama.

Did you know the motivation for Michael cane to go to drama class?

He wanted to be in class with the prettiest girls.

Well, guess it worked out for him!

Did you know about Rger Dankins?

I don't really know of his work.

He is a cinematographer that never won an academy award but was nominated 13 times!

That seems like it would be painful!

Gavin free is a cinematographer who is best known for his work on YouTube but also worked on a lot of slow motion cinematography

So much talent around, did you know no woman has even been nominated for best cinematography ever?

Wow.

It's the only oscar category that hasn't had a female contender.

I wonder why.

Did you know the movie spartacus had a cinematographer but staley kubrik pretty much did all the job by taking the camera from the cinematographer

Haha, I wonder why Kubrick kept the cinematographer on.

When an academy award was won, it went to the credited cinematographer.

Yes Why hire one ?

There was algo a great Chinese cinematographer who had a hard time because of racism .

Did you know about him?

No, I did not know about that.

Turns out his mixed race marriage was illegal till it was legalized in 1948.

Not fair but good for him that he persisted!

Well great chat, have a good one!


do you like drama?

yes I do, did you ever watch House MD?

Yes I loved it, Laurie made $700 000 per episode in it

That is a lot of money but it was a good show after all

Yea.

Yeah.
Do you listen to radio dramas?

Sometimes, there is a free website for them on the net

Nice.

Do you know why Michael Caine became an actor?

He was chasing the girls and they were in drama class.

Do you know who pioneered the use of wide-angle lenses?

Yes that was James WOng who was married illegally to a woman until 1948 due to racism

That is so sad, glad that part of the history is over now

Yes me too.

Did you know in the Spartacus movie, Kubrick was the cinematographer?

Yes he had a cinemaographer but was not happy with him so did it himself

Yes and then the other guy got the award when they won for best cinematography

Hello - how are you today?

I am good.
How about you?

I'm doing pretty good.

Did you know video games were initially called cathode ray tube amusement devices and were used by the military?

Yes I have heard that before.
They have come a long way.

Yes they have.

Stephen Fry narrated the little big planet, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and Harry Potter for their video games.

Its amazing how many hours people spend every week on video games

For sure.

Tom Hanks brother does Woody's voice in the Toy Story video game and also on the merchandise that is voice activated.

Thats surprising I thought it was Tom Hanks himself.

That's what I thought too.
I guess he only does the movie.

Also surprising that Ringo, Alec baldwin and George Carlin narrated thomas the tank for a number of episodes

That's pretty cool.

My son loves Thomas.

Did you know it's illegal for kids under 16 in South Korea to play video games past midnight?

I had heard that somewhere.
Strange stuff

Very strange law.

It has been calculated that we play three billion hours of video games a week as a planet.

That's crazy.
That industry must be making a fortune

I bet they are.

The US Department of Defense used 1760 playstation 3's to build a supercomputer

Thats a win for playstation

For sure.

Playstation 3 was used to research black holes.

That pretty wild

Yea it is.

The last game made for Playstation 2 was Fifa 14.

Its amazing what they can do with video games.

Terrific graphics

It was good talking to you!
