do you watch the NBA?

Yes I do.
Do you like Tim Duncan?

I like him.
DO you like Reggie Miller?

I do.

Tim Duncan did not go to the NBA until he finished college

Nice, good kid.

Miller was great but his sister was always better than him

Wow they must be a very talented family in the sports

Yes she once scored 105 points and broke 8 national records

Wow impressive, Most NBA players have financial difficulties though when they retire

That is unfortunate.

Did you hear of the deal Iverson signed with Reebok?

Did not, did they make him a good offer?

Yes the guy is set for life, trust me.
Do you like LeBron?

I do actually.

Did you know he refused an offer from Reebok for $10 million when he was 18?

WOw how come ?

He is going to be in the Space Jam movie sequel

Yes because he said Nike or Adidas will offer him more so he did not settle for that

Wow he knew his self worth did he get a better offer then?

Yes Nike offered him $90 million the next year

Nice, good deal then , Did you know he is the highest paid  celebrity?

Nice, he is involved in many things so I guess that makes sense

Yeah.

He once raised $6 million when he televised the decision, it was all for charity

Nice.

He was really hated in 2012 when he decided to join MIami Heats

Wow I guess people did not like him leaving his old team


Do you think prisoners should be allowed to read books?

Yea, I don't think knowledge should be denied from anyone.

Messed up NJ attempted to ban the "The New Jim Crow" book

Yeah, that book was meant for prisoners or those who are isolated from society

Books have the potential to make people better, I think it's a good thing they have groups like Books Through Bars giving books to prisons

I'm glad the ACLU got NJ to reverse its ban.

Yea, and books help educate prisoners and can have a huge payoff

Yeah.

Too bad for prisoners in Texas there are 11,000 books that are on the banned list, including Shakespeare works.

They aren't allowed to read E=MC2: Simply Physics.

I wonder why?

I have no clue, having access to education can lower recidivism by 43 percent, seems like a no brainer to let books in

It can also help them to get essential skills to help them find and maintain work after they are released.

Yea, a lot of prisoners get their GED's in prison too

Yeah, it's a cost effective intervention too that could help prisoners succeed in society.

Yea, reading is important and requires continuous practice, refinement, and development

I understand the regulations that rule out books that might facilitate criminal activity, when it comes to book that tells readers how to make weapons, to escape prison, or to incite riots.

Other than that, it doesn't make sense.

Nope, I wonder if they banned Starship Troopers, it's on the reading lists of three US military branches

Hmm, and I wonder what Ender's Game is too.

It was suggested reading for military organizations.

Who know, I wonder if it would be one of the novels in the 18th century to cause a moral panic

Wow, imagine what 18th century people would think of the internet.

Haha.

I don't know,i wonder how they would react to Merida's curly hair in Pixar's Brave

That was some pretty awesome looking hair.

Well, Pixar did take three years studying curly hair physics.

Yea, I don't know if that's more crazy than Kim Jong-Un having a degree in Physics

Wow, I didn't know that.

I never thought physics could explain where the universe came from, but apparently it would not violate physics from coming from nothing.


Hi, how are you?

Hi.
How familiar are you with the NBA?

I am familiar with the NBA.
Are you?

I have a passing knowledge that it is the premier men's professional basketball league in the world

Good.
I watch the NBA all the time.
Do you have a favorite team?

I tend to watch the LA lakers.
How about you?

Chicago Bulls.

You all have a chance to Land Anthony Davis.

Are you excited about the possibility?

I think that if they land Anthony Davis, there will definitely be a noticeable different.

Even if they don't I feel the LA Lakers are relatively solid.

Yeah.

They will have to give up a ton for him.

NO didn't like the first proposal.

Many think LA doesn't have the talent to get the trade done.

Well talent is well rewarded in the NBA.

Their athletes are well known to be among the best paid by average annual salary

Yeah.

Plus they have garaunteed contracts, which the NFL does not have...

I agree.

Have you heard reggie miller tell the story about sheryl miller's big night?

he told it a few months back on the dan patrick show

I didn't not.
What was it about?

He was happy and proud he scored 40.

His sister scored 105 and stole his thunder.

Regardless of his sister overshadowing him, there is no doubt that reggie miller is an outstanding player with a phenomenal performance

yeah.

I actually think he played with david west!

He did not need to shoot grannys tyle though.

I recently read that granny style is most efficient way to shoot in the hoop.

However, you don't see LeBron shooting like that obviously since the defense wouldn't let it happen

No.

You will see hime in space jom 2 though!

LeBron James is not only a phenomenal player, but did you know he has a photographic memory as well?

He is able to replay every game and every scenario he has ever experienced

Wow, that's crazy.
Nice chatting with you!


Hello!

Did you know that youtube is the 2nd largest search engine?

Heard that.

Understand Google owns YouTube, and has since 2006.

Do you watch YouTube?

I watch a few things on youtube, but have never seen Bieber's "baby" which is the most disliked video.

Don't plan to watch it.

But I do watch video clips, short films and original videos on YouTube, as well as BBC shows on YouTube TV.

Same here.

Have you ever watched Gangnam Style?

It had so many view that the view count integer had to go up.

No.
What was it about?

It's a guy doing a weird dance.

Have you ever watched the police youtube called blutube?

I just found out about it.

Nope.

It may only be available to police units...Have seen a few reality police shows, but they're slow and boring, just like a lot of police work in reality.

Not slow or boring has been YouTube's growth since 2005.

It's captured a lot of former cable users, I understand.

Yes and between youtube and netflix 1/2 of the internet is accounted for.

I can believe they command 50% of peak internet usage.

That's powerful for the purse of owners.

I wonder if you could watch netflix or youtube on the peak of mt.

everest because they have 3g service there.

Apparently so, but I've never BEEN there myself, of course.

Even explorers can ''phone home'' these days, from Everest or Antarctica.

The internet is amazing.

It is amazing, but also a little scary because there are always things you have to agree to.

Only 7% of people read the full terms of service.

I know I don't...

True.

In general, WWW users don't have a clue how much info.

they're giving away, to whom, or for what purpose.

Knowledge is power; ignorance leads to totalitarian states!

The library of Alexandria has a copy of the internet saved.

I didn't even know you could save the entire thing!

Did you?

No.

But I have to admire their mission.

After all, this ancient text treasure was itself burned during many conquests of Egypt.

Now they have copied the internet in case IT burns down.

Could that happen?

I'm not sure!

Do you know anyone that has ever been addicted to the internet because that can happen with all the clicking of links.

Thankfully, no.

But have heard this is a genuine addiction which can be measured in the brain.

Sad statement of the times, perhaps.

It is especially with how easy it is to access things now.

It was nice chatting with you!

Thanks.

Have a good day!


Do you use the internet frequently?

I do every day!

Do you remember the Honey Badger videos from 2011?

What was that?

It was a viral video were a man narrated over a national geographic video.

Honey Badger dont care.

Came from that.

It was pretty great.

Sounds pretty hilarious

It wade the guy pretty famous.

There were even lawsuits bout the phrase.

Lawsuits? Why?

People used the phrase on clothing, greeting cards, and I guess they guy thought it violated his rights and that it was his phrase.

So what happened in the end?

I believe he lost in the US district court.

It circulated around youtube for a long time.

You mean the plaintiff or defendant?

The defendant lost, the guy who made the video.

Ah thanks for clarifying.
That is a shame

It is amazing how youtube videos have evolved.

The first video uploaded was a guy talking about an elephant.

Now they are the 2nd largest search engine on the net

Youtube actually began as a dating website.

I didnt realize that.

Really?

I personally didn't see youtube as much a search engine or dating website as a nice place to browse random videos

It dont think their initial intentions panned out.

They are a great place to see videos, I know I have personally wasted a lot of time there.

lol

I too have spent much time watching cute animal videos

Google created a network that watched 10 Million youtube clips, and it learned to recognize cats.

I guess that is one way to create AI.
In any case, thanks for chatting.


Are you familiar with the basketball player Lebron James?

Yeah, I know a little bit about him.
I admire the charity work he does.

I admire his accomplishments like the MVP awards and gold medals hes gotten.

Yeah, I understand he recently celebrated his 30,000 career point!

That's quite a feat!

Yes, I hear he reached 30,000 points along with 7,000 assists and rebounds!

Speaking of LeBron, did you know he got a $90 million endorsement offer from Nike?

Can't believe how much NBA players make just from SHOES.

Glad he didn't accept that $10 million offer from reebok, he knew nike would give him a better deal.

They say he makes more money than Judge Judy and she clears $123,00 per episode!

Can only imagine what he makes a game!

Not only does he make a lot of money for himself, but he also raised a lot for charity.

He just raised 6 million by televising "the decision"

Yeah, that's really admirable!

Have you seen Space Jam?

I've heard LeBron James has signed up to do the sequel...

Yes, he has signed a new deal with Warner Bros for a space jam sequel.

Dunno, it's always risky doing a sequel so long after the original has been released, not sure how good it'll be...

Well endorsements and deals always work out.

Like Michael Jordan wearing Air Jordans, look how popular they are today.

Yeah, that's true.

Neatly enough, I'm told they were first banned when introduced, but Mike wore them anyway!

Nike had enough money to pay the fine after each game I guess

Yeah, and they probably figured the exposure was worth whatever they had to pay!

Did you know Tim Duncan sacrificed money and stayed in college instead of going directly to the NBA?

Well, you know, it was a risk, but I think it ultimately paid off.

I mean, something could happen to your body and ruin your athletic career but knowledge stays with you (for the most part).

I agree, knowledge is power.
Anyway have a great day!

Hey, you have a great one as well!

Goodbye!


Hi, how are you?

Wonderful, how are you?

I am well, thanks!
Have you ever heard of Jack WHite?

Yea I here hes at the new orleans jazz festival on may 6!

That would be a good show.

Do you like Jazz?

I am a fan and would love to go to that!

Not so much but I would consider going if I lived nearby.

I used to like the white stripes.

Everyone raved about Jack White and his then wife meg but I never was that into them but wanted to because they seemed to be trendy.

The white stripes are great!

They're one of the most prominent rock bands in the world.

Yeah.

Seems weird that a husband and wife with a drum set and guitar would be that great.

Are you a fan of drake?

I tolerate his music but am not a huge fan of his antics.

Are you?

Not that much.

He gained recognition as an actor on the degrassi series.

I did not know that.
He has won multiple grammys too!

Impressive!

He played a paraplegic teen who pursues a music career.

He was a late bloomer.

Didn't graduate high school until he was 25!

That is funny.

He owns shoes that weigh about 100 pounds.

weird

I hope he doesn't have to run in those shoes!

He will not win any races....

He does like first edition books though.

I wish I had a few of those titles.

Imagine racing someone wearing those shoes!

I cannot believe he has 7 number one albums.

I had not clue he had that many albums!

Thats more than I thought.

He also had a cameo in biebers "baby" music video.

Nice chatting with you!


Do you like to dance?

I like to dance although I am not good at it!

It is a beautiful form of human movement.

I love to dance too, but only with a few drinks in me lol!

Yeah good point I definitely have to have alcohol to dance.

I like to dance because it has both aesthetic and symbolic value!

For sure, did you know bruce lee was a great dancer in cha-cha?

No I never knew that.

That is surprising.

The first moonwalk ever recorded was performed by a tapdancer in 1955!

What?

I thought it was by Michael Jackson at a concert, I was wrong this whole time!

Yes well Michael Jackson definitely made it famous!

There's even an episode of Mr. Rogers where he learned to breakdance.

Everyone loves to dance.

That is awesome, even my baby who is 10 months dances to music, it is so cute!

That is so funny!

There are ballet slippers that make drawings from dancers movements.

That would be cool to see.

That is awesome, speaking of ballet dancers, they can go through like 4 pairs of shoes per week.

Really costly i think

Yeah that is very costly indeed.

Emilia Clark who acted in the game of thrones did the funky chicken at her audition!

no way, I want to see that!

I wonder how that led to her getting a major role in the series lol

Yeah I bet she is so fun!
Do you like Drake?
He is pretty young, only born in 1986!

Wow, that is young.

I like a few of his songs.

I know he got his start as a canadian actor

Yes exactly right he was on a show called Degrassi I believe.

I have never seen it, have you?

I like some rappers, like Tupac, did you know he did ballet also?

Did he really?

I never knew that.

I did know that Drake had a cameo in Justin Bieber's baby music video though.

I never knew that lol!

I will have to check it out.

I know that Baby is the most disliked video of all time on youtube lol.

It was so nice chatting with you today!

Maybe it's because Drake was in it!

He also owns a pair of shoes that weigh a hundred pounds.

It was great chatting with you as well!

What would the point be on wearing those shoes lol!

Have a great weekend!


Hello.

Do you enjoy listening to music?

Back when cities were very popular albums used to be a hot item but now it's more just individual songs.

Linkin Park has the best selling album of the 21st-century.

I do, I was a Linkin Park fan at one point.

It is a shame what happened to the singer.

Yeah that was really terrible it was a shame to see them go out like that.

Another big selling record was the Darkside of the moon even though it first came out quite a long time ago.

I heard it sold very well in 2014, is that true?

Yeah I think it was still one of the best selling albums of 2014.

Their music has clearly aged very well.

That it does.
I'm fairly familiar with them.
Are you a fan?

Yes I like Pink Floyd very much as well.

I like all kinds of music.

I also like rap and hip-hop once in a while.

The straight out of Compton album was the first album to reach platinum status without the support of airplay or major tour.

Pretty big accomplishment.

I

I assume you accidentally pressed send LOL.

I also like listening to Drake who is actually from Canada.

LOL, I did.
I'm not a Drake fan to be honest.
But I know who he is.

Yeah I actually liked him when he first came out but I don't like his new stuff.

He apparently likes children's classic books because he spent a ton of money on first additions while touring in the UK.

I heard he bought a Winnie The Pooh book for an absurd amount of money.

Yeah that seems very odd to me.

Must be a Canadian thing.

There is a university called Drake University and he actually stopped by in the middle of the night to visit with the students.

I didn't know he was from Canada to be honest.

I think that is pretty cool.

What about Bruce Lee, are you a fan?

Yeah I love Bruce Lee and think the kung fu genre is pretty cool.

I had no idea he was a championship dancer back in 1958.

I'm not surprised, I heard a lot of those movies are choreographed, so it is in some ways like a large dance anyways.

Oh wow that's really a cool perspective to look at it.

I wonder if he goes through a lot of shoes like professional ballet dancers who go through up to four pairs in a week.

I'm not sure, Tupac learned Ballet as well, I wonder how many shoes he went through?

Yeah good question.

I think it's funny he portrayed the mouse king in the nutcracker.

Did he really?

I didn't know that.

He was a backup dancer for digital underground, I remember that.

Oh nice I didn't even know he did that.

That Michael Jackson dance move where he does that lean apparently he uses a patented device.It was nice chatting with you have a good day.


hey there, do you like basketball?

From the vantage point of my recliner--not as a player, I used to play at the YMCA, where basketball was invented, but I got hit in the face with a basketball and my love for playing the game diminished.

oh no.
it is a widely watched sport though

Especially during March Madness.

wow.

there is a team in new zelands that is called the black talls

You won't hear that phrase in during a golf tournament.

Right?

nope you won't.

the us supreme court has a basketball court on the top floor

I wonder if Shaq ever played there?

now he is one tall black!

Althiough he never was very good at shooting the long ball, scoring just once from the 3-point line his entire career.

Yeah it is called the highest court in the land.

I wonder if people who work they use it a lot

I hear Ruth Bader Ginsberg can jam it and hang from the rim.

She sure is hanging in the there.

for sure.

babe ruth was apparently the most famous golfer in the us once

No kidding?

I wonder if he ever played in the golf course located in Antarctica?

THat would have been something.

Golf courses though soak up too much water, not too good

Yeah, but finding the ball there is challenging... You know the US military has over 200 golf courses?

I wonder what they first think of when someone says they are going to the shooting range?

interesting.

some people like samuel jackson are so dedicated to gold they sign a contract that allows them to play golf twice a week during production

Nice.

That would work well while filming in the US, which has more golf courses that the rest of the world combined, but where does he play wen they film in Africa?

I have no idea.
they must have golf courses there too.

Well, the Sahara has a nice sand tamp...

In Austratia, there is a golf course with bull sharks living in their water hazard.

"Hey honey, could get the ball out of the water for me?

hahhahaha.
are you much of a religious person?

Yeah.

My grandfather gave me a metal-plated bible to carry around with me when I visit Chicago.

He said he used it in WWII to shield his heart from flying shrapnel, which is pretty common as you walk the streets of Chicano these days.

wow that is amazing.
it was nice chatting with you


do you like basketball?

Yes I do.
Do you know who Kareem Jabbar is?

Yes the guy that was the master of the dunk shot

Yes and because of that the shot got banned for a while

Yes.
Do you know who invented the sport?

That was James Naismith.
a coach at U of Kansas

Yes and the only losing coach in their history

Yeah ironic.

THe coaches are the highest paid employees in many states nowadays

Yeah.

Have you heard of the highest court in the land?

Yes that is on the top floor of the US Supreme Court

Yes.

THe NZ basketball team are called the tall blacks

So strange.
Do you like golf?

I do a bit but they are really bad for the environment

Yes they use a lot of water, in the US on average of 312 000 gallons per day per course

Yeah and there is one in Dubai that uses 4 million gallons per day

Yeah that is such a waste for something so artificial

True.

Babe Ruth was a very accomplished golfer once too

Yeah, he was the most famous golfer in America

Yeah.

Samuel Jackson is also a golfer and he has it in his contract too

Yeah, he gets 2 weeks between filmings to play golf

Yes he plays it smart.
Nice chatting with you


Hi there !
Looking forward to chat with You !

Hi, did you know that Facebook's like button is illegal in the german state of Schleswig-holstein?

That's just bonkers... do You know why ?

Not sure.

But Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg is red-green colorblind

Are You being born like that ?

I guess so.

Burger King even had a Facebook promotion.

If you unfriended 10 people you'd get a free whopper.

Did You ever unfriend anybody ?
:)

I never really friended anyone so I didn't need to unfriend lol;  Did you know that there are about 20 quintillion individual animals on earth

what do You mean ;) does that mean You have no Facebook account ?

no, I just used facebook to play games.

I can talk to my friends in person or other ways.

They used to do that in the olden days.

lol

Yeah, my parents told me all about that  :) crazy ;)  all the bacteria flying around people talking in real life !

;) lol

I'm not sure what that means?

Did you know that domesticated animals have white patches on their foreheads?

no way... domesticated animals don't change their fur because of that...

I don't know how they got that info.

Did you know that Queen's guitarist brian may has a phd in astrophysics?

That I actually knew :) he is the smartest rocker :) just like Dolph Lundgren is the smartest actor :)

Matthew Bellamy from Muse holds the Guinness record for most guitars smashed on a tour.

What a waste of beautiful guitars!

I agree... he could be selling those and give the money to charity... or me :) lol

Nightlife columnist John Segraves remembers getting the Beatles White Album and it impacted his journey into music and journalism

I'm not surprised... their music has the strength to move planets...

Yes indeed.

Did you know that Myspace actually turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million in 2005?

Wow... is myspace still around ?
Did You ever had an account ?

No, I didn't have an account an I'm not sure if it is around, but Facebook sure is!


Did you know there are 20 quintillion individual animals on earth?

I just learned that fact.

No.

I wonder if that includes birds and fish.

I believe it would include birds but it would be hard to count fish.

In 2002, Germany was the first country to universally give animals legal rights

I didn't know that.

There's a lawyer in switzerland who represents animals in court.

Really?

How does the lawyer defend the animals?

Do they study....bird law?

In Scotland, under the provisions of 1912 the lochness monster is a protected species.

It should be.
It brings in a lot of tourism.

That's hilarious!
What did you read about?

I knew that from before.
Nessie has always been popular.

Yes, that's true.

You know what I just learned?

Eddie Van Halen played the guitar for "beat it" and he set the studio speakers on fire while playing!

Wow.
He lead an interesting life.

He did.
Is he still alive?
I'm not sure.

Think so.

Brian May is alive.

He built his guitar out of parts from an old fireplace and his mother's knitting needle.

Whoa!

He's very creative to do that.

Some people can't even put together Ikea furniture!

Did you know matthew bellamy holds the record for most guitars smashed on tour?

Brian May could probably put them back together again.

lol They should meet up.

Since its debut in 1949, the les paul gibson es-175 guitar has never gone out of production.

That's cool.

I hear les paul guitars are good.

I just learned that Brian May uses coins as guitar picks.

I wonder if that would sound good on a les paul guitar

That's weird.
Coins are small.

They are!

He must have a lot of finger control in order to do that.

Yes, I play a guitar without a pick and it hurt my fingers,

I can imagine.

I played the guitar with a pick and it hurt my fingers the first few weeks I started playing.

Art is pain.
lol

That's true.

I wish it were less painful but I suppose it wouldn't have a strong effect if it wasn't sometimes.

That's true.
Nice chatting with you.
Good night.


I am not a Facebook fan.

How about you?

Its amazing how big it has vgrown since it's origin in 2004.

I'm pretty indifferent to facebook even though I've been on it on and off since it was founded in like 2004

I am also not a fan of the founder, Zuckerberg.

you?

No, I don't like his philosophy of removing anonymousy off the internet nor letting 13 year olds have a facebook profile

legal maneuvers, i suppose.

Funny how you rarely hear about the other co-founders.

Yea his rommates Saverin, McCollum, Moskovitz, and Hughes; they made a movie about facebook that said there was disagreements and I've heard Zuckerburg at least screwed over one of them

And still people, like sheep, trust that they can share their personal info on the Facebook platform without concerns.

Since the founders all started out as students at Harvard, I wonder how many graduated...

I don't know, but facebook is worth 104 billion now so I guess it doesn't matter too much

Right.

:Sorry for not graduating Mo,.

but here is a house for you."

Today, Facebook makes most of it's money from advertisements, and screwiing with elections.

LOL

Too bad myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook, I liked myspace a lot better when I was in high school

My dog had a MtSpace page.

Maybe you were Myspace friends...

Apparently my dog did not help them earn enough money to afford to write a check for $75 million..

Maybe, dogs do have constitutionally guaranteed legal rights in Germany

The German Shepherd dog lobby is strong in Germany.

But this does not explain how the Loch Ness monster was granted status as s protected species.

Although there are a lot of monsters in politics.

There's also a lot of insects in politics too, and 1 million species of them too

All polititians are animals.

20 quantrillion animal species on earth, and most of them live in my back yard.

I only really care about the domesticated ones so I guess if they don't have a white patch on their foreheads I don't care about them

I have a cat named, "Spot" because she has a white spot on her face, but she is far from domesticated.

Must be another holdover from evolution, like hiccups.

I wonder why that's why people say to drink water when you have the hiccups, something to do with use to having gills

Right.

Another evolutionary quandry...is the guitarist from the band, "Muse" who hols the record for smashing more guitars while on tour than anyone else.

Matthew Bellamy?

That's a pretty cool world record to have

Sure.

I wonder if Bellamy ever set speakers on fire like Eddie Van Halen did while recording a solo for "beat it"?

I don't know, the both of them should team up with Brain May and find something crazy to do with May's astrophysics knowledge

Where are all the normal guitarists these days?

Maybe they are all held hostage on the floating recorning studio that Pink Floyd has on the river Thames...

Lol, maybe.
Well it was nice chatting with you


Are you an NBA fan?

Yes I watch NBA games from time to time, what do you think about Stephen Curry in the Warriors?

He is a class act.
I love the warriors!

Yeah he's awesome!

How do you think they're going to do this year?

Apparently the Wizards dont think they are going to do well

I don't think they will go all the way, they have had their ups and downs!

I may be with the wizards on this one, what do you think

I don't know if Stephen Curry is pretty awesome LOL.

How often do you watch the NBA though

I watch every night is on, I am watching the  warriors now ha.

they are losing though, how about you

I watch it sometimes.

I like the old guys like Michael Jordan he was my favorite, I especially liked his Air Jordan shoes

Me too, I like how Jordan wore his shoes even though he got fined by the NBA.

I think nike paid his  fines

Yeah they did that was great advertising!

What do you think about shooting a basketball granny style by the way

I heard it is effective but definitely silly looking, your thoughts?

It's definitely silly but physicists say it's the best way to shoot the ball lol so I think players should use it just because they are getting paid so much they can afford to look silly

Hmm I will have to work on my game!
Were you a fan of tim duncan?

Yeah I like Tim Duncan, I was shocked that he didn't jump right into the NBA and instead stayed to finish his degree

I think it was his grandmas dying wish, it was a great thing he did

Oh wow I didn't know that.

I also didn't know that Allen Iverson makes so much money from the Reebok sponsorship, $800,000 per year

Last I heard he was broke!

I think he is getting a big chunk of money at 55

Yep he just has to hold out until age 55 and then he's going to get 32 million dollars, I think that should solve all his money problems lol

Lets hope lol, he doesnt have more after that!

Good chatting with you!

Yep that would be a lot of debt haha.

By the way what do you think about Stephen Curry?

Apparently he plays with his brother Seth Curry

He is not as good as Steph though!


Good morning.

Do you like Ariana Grande?

She actually began her career on Broadway!

Good morning, she is ok. What about you?

Yeah some songs are better than others.

She actually cofounded a youth singing group at age 10!

Very cool and good for her.

I saw she was hit by a puck when she was 5 years old.

Yes and that makes her the first fan hit by a puck at the florida panthers arena!

That's crazy.

She has an anthem dedicated to women that was written by 3 men.

That is kind of ironic.

Although she kind of looks hispanic, she is actually of Italian heritage.

She does look Hispanic.
I had no idea she was Italian.

Yes and actually her real full name is Ariana Grande Butera.

Did not know that.
Do you know much about the internet?

I know a bit, I definitely know how useful it can be.

It carries so much information from resources and services to documents, applications, mail, and file sharing.

So useful.

Did you know the 3 horizontal line menu is called a hamburger button?

Haha that is kind of funny.

I bet clicking on it all the time is addicting with real measurable changes in the brain.

I have heard people can become addicted to the internet.

Yes and I believe it.

There is internet everywhere, even on Mt.

Everest.

That's just crazy.

I heard they have 3g service at the peak.

Yup!

I wonder if any celebrities have climbed Mt.

Everest?

They definitely have the wealth to do so.

I bet some celebrity has.

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

Yes I bet Robin Williams has been in that room since he was the first celebrity to do voice performance in animated films!

I bet.

It's a shame he went out the way he did.

Such a sad day for comedy.

It really was.

I just watched Bird Cage last night, he was so good.

Well it was great chatting with you this morning.

It was good chatting with you too!


do you like the NBA?

Yes I do.Did you know DUncan stayed in school and then went to the NBA?

Nice.

Did you know that Reggie Miller was great but his sister was always better?

Really, how good was she?

So good that she broke 8 national records and scored 105 points

Nice.

Most players after retirement have financial issues

Wow that is sad.

DId you know Iverson signed a killer deal with Reebok?

I have not heard of it, did he get a good deal?

Yes he did, $800 000 per year till he is 55 and then $32 milliom.

Wow I guess Iverson is pretty set for life then

Yes he sure is.

Do you know what the granny style shot is?

Yes it is a pretty good shot.

Did you know a coach was once fined because he said there should be no games during christmas?

Wow that is too much.

The granny shot is not used by players because they think it looks stupid

Who cares, as long as you score is that not the point of the game?

Exactly.

Did you know Jordans were banned when they first came out?

DId not know that.

Did you know that Haywood passed on an offer to have a stake at Nike?

Yes but Nike kept paying the fines and Jordan kept wearing them.

He did?

Yes and took $100 000 upfront, not a good idea.

Yeah I guess not.
Do you like jazz?

Yes I do.

Tupac was one of the people that actually studied it in school

Nice.

CLint Eastwood is also a lifelong fan of the music and a pianist

Nice, it is a good genre.
Nice chat


What are your thoughts on the Rockets?
I think they are a great team

The Rockets are nothing compared to the Golden State Warriors.

They destroyed the Pelicans.

Well they won agains the Warriors so they have a great team, the best offensive in the history of NBA

Pssh, the Hamptons Five has some wicked stats.

Did you know they win with over forty points for every hundred possessions?

They have legendary stats I agree, Curry, Thompson, Iguodola, Durant and Green, great players indeed

Some of the best of all time.

They can face everything, even lineups they've never seen, like they did when they beat New Orleans.

How are the Rockets going to match that?

Thats hard to match I agree, but the rockets ended up winning the game so I guess the found a way

Oh well, I guess adding Tucker, Paul, and a Moute made all the difference.

I guess it did, well the game was a close one I think the Rockets won by 7 points, but the Warriors have better players, Durant is amazing, he won MVP twice in a row right?

I think so.

I just hope he doesn't go bankrupt after he retires.

Did you know about sixty percent of all NBA players run out of money after retiring?

Thats really sad, 60% wow, they must have poor financial advisors, so sad

It's crazy!

They make so much you'd think they'd be set for life.

But it's also crazy how Stephen Curry is only the fourth highest paid player on his own team!

Really?

his like the best player in the team, I wonder why is that.

He should definitely ask for more next season!

Or else he might have to switch to a new career like jazz.

Do you think he could make a number one hit like Louis Armstrong?

No I dont think jazz is his thing, it would be great to watch him grow a goatee.

I can picture him going out on the court in a goatee, sunglasses, and a French beret.

He'd fit right in when the Warriors move to San Francisco!

Crazy fact about the team but they also earned 12 million dollars by losing 4 games, I gues they are in a win win situation many times

Wow, that is crazy.

Know another crazy fact, Spencer Haywood would be a billionaire today but he chose not to take a stake in Nike!

Really howcome?

He chose to take 100k directly instead of accepting a ten percent stake when the company was young.

I bet he regretted that decision later, he lost a fortune there.


What did you think about Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson splitting up?

I think I saw it coming after all they are both 24 years old and they got engaged really fast, it was destined to fail, what are your thoughts on this?

I agree with you.

I also think that since they both started dating right after previous relationships ended that was a problem.

Yeah I guess nobody was shocked because of their announcement but I do think the media is taking things out of proportion and the critics are harsh.

I don't know.

They got matching tattoos and engaged within a month I think.

That's pretty fast for everything.

I agree, both decisions that shouldnt be taken lightly at all, Grande was still going through the death of her boyfriend so that was definitely one of the reasons the relationship failed

I wonder how they feel about the "unnamed sources" giving information to the tabloids.

It would have to be people close to them in some way.

I bet they felt really bad about this, like they couldnt trust anyone even their family, closes friends you know the ring cost about $100000- insane amount of money!

They also moved into a $16 million apartment together.

They definitely went all out in a short amount of time!

I hope they are okay- who makes financial decisions like those ones so lightly?

I know what you mean.

I heard she even has a song titled Pete Davidson on her new album.

Will she sing it now that they are over I wonder.

Yeah and they adopted a baby pig, who does that lol, just get a dog I dont know.

Gossip shows are saying that the couple could get back together in the future.

Possibly when she is back on SNL.

Well they are young and I do believe in second chance so who knows maybe this time they will do things right.

It's possible.

I didn't know that she had been on Nickelodeon before.

I recently heard that she was on the show Victorious.

I havent seen that show, well I havent seen Nickelodeon in a really long time, I thought Ariana was hispanic but apparently shes Italian

I was surprised to learn that as well.

It seems like her publicity people don't mention that she's actually Italian.

Ariana is sure a controversial person, she was caught licking the donut display at a donut store once, yuuuk!

I think it's interesting that her song about female empowerment is actually written by three men.

It is interesting and kind of funny, do you use the internet much?

I use it every day.

Sometimes I wonder if the clicking has caused me to be addicted like scientists say it can.


How's it going, do you follow the NBA and have a favorite team out of the 30 that play?

hi how are you?
i like the NBA.
i dont follow that much.
i try to follow around the playoffs.
who is your favorite team?

I follow the Knicks in New York, I guess they call NY the mecca of basketball because the NBA was founded there in 1949

That makes sense.
the founder was James naismith.
i figure the man is a legend.

Yea, too bad Naismith never got a shoe deal like Allen Iverson's lifetime contract with Reebok

Yeah, i dont think that he made much money, but he has an award named after him.

thats pretty good.

Yea that's nice.

Sometimes money isn't the most important thing, like when NBA star Tim Duncan stayed in college for 4 years instead of leaving early for the NBA

I would not have done the same thing as Tim.

i would have taken the cash.

too much risk of injury.

yea and if you're really good you can get the shoe deals like Michael Jordan.

When the Air Jordan's first came out MJ was fined for wearing them in game

I bet that the league thought he had some sort of advantage.

from a shoe.

hm.

not likely.

plus the league wanted cash LOL

Yea and Nike was more than happy to pay Jordan's fines

Yeah, cheap marketing and publicity.
controversy is great for that.

I wonder why Cheryl Miller never got a shoe deal, she did score 105 point in one game once

She should have gotten a shoe deal.
did her brother get one?

I don't think her brother Reggie ever got one either

Oh well.

the family has a lot of talent.

theyll figure out a way to parlay that into a fortune.

Yea I know Reggie does broadcasting and his sister Cheryl might too

thats cool.

i try to follow golden state when i can.

i like steph curry.

Yea Curry is a great player and a nicer guy, he donates mosquito nets to families in Africa

He is a generous guy.
i figure that he is a model player.
Anyway, great chat!

You too, have a good one.


Hi, do you watch the NBA?

i sometimes watch the NBA.
do you?

I do like the NBA

Do you have a favorite team or player?

I like the Cleveland Cavs.
What about you?

I like golden state.

they have been playing very well for the past few years.

They are very good.

Did you know Reggie Miller has a sister who is better at basketball than he is?

I am not surprised.

i bet the whole family is good at sports.

he must be jealous.

I bet lol.

Air Jordan's were banned in the NFL, but Jordan refused to stop wearing them so Nike paid the fine.

Nike got lots of cheap publicity from that controversy.

im sure they would happily do it again.

I agree.

Tim Duncan stayed in college and got his degree instead of going straight to the NBA.

I would have gone into the NBA.

i would be concerned about a career ending injury.

it is hard to be a professional athlete.

I would have too.
That was definitely a risk.

I think he could have gone to college later.

he would have had the money for it, but no scholarship.

Me too.
Do you like Jazz music?

I do like jazz.
i am listening to jazz right now.
You?

I like some Jazz, but not a huge listener of it.

Have you listened to Bill Evans?
he was a pianist of great abiliy.
easy to listen to.
played with Miles Davis.

I have never heard of Bill Evans.
I will need to check him out.

YOu should also check out Miles Davis.
he is very accessible.
Kind of blue.
look on youtube.

I'll have to do that too - thank you!
Well, it was good chatting with you.

Yes, have a good day!

Thanks!


Hey there do you like the NBA?
It's composed of 30 teams

I do not really follow the NBA though I do have to say that the warriors are my favorite team.

I see.

I like the Warriors.

I also like the Pistons because I live in Michigan

The Warriors have had a ton of talent and have been to the Finals in the past three seasons.

I guess they were founded in 1946 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Then they relocated to San Francisco in 1962

Cool, and this year they had the best net rating in the NBA.

Somehow they earned 12 million dollars after losing game 4.

This was last year.

Can you explain how that's possible haha I just don't get it

Thats pretty good if you get paid that much even when you lose!

Haha.

I'm not sure how that works either.

What do you think about Stephen Curry?

It's nice of him that he donates mosquito nets for every 3-pointer he makes

That is cool.

Have you heard of Seth Curry?

He is also a basketball player and Stephen Curry's brother.

No I haven't.

Is he good at basketball?

I also didn't know that the Golden State Warriors play their games at Oracle Arena and one year it was booked so they had to play their final game somewhere else haha

When Seth Curry and Mychel Thompson were playing on the Golden State Warriors, their brothers, Steph, and Klay, respectively, were playing together on the Santa Cruz warriors.

That's interesting.

Do you listen to jazz music by the way?

I know Clint Eastwood uses it in his films a lot

I like to listen to live jazz.

I guess trumpeters don't only use goatees for style.

It is to provide comfort when playing.

Maybe I should try growing that haha.

Although I do only play the drums.

have you heard of the Pakistani Jazz Orchestra?

It would still be stylish!

A harlem woman has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every Sunday for twenty years.

Sounds interesting.

Sometimes top performers stop by.

That actually sounds cool.

I wonder if your neighbors are ok with that though haha.

I could see things getting really loud.

And yeah the Pakistani Jazz Orchestra is topping the charts right now.

Although I've never heard of them

Yeah I have never heard of them either.

I guess there are even programming languages that have jazz like harmonies!

Wow that sounds cool!

And yes Clint Eastwood scores a lot of his films with jazz.

One of them was Million Dollar Baby.

I like that movie a lot, what did you think?

I don't know if I have watched it.
I will have to check it out.

Yeah you should.

Do you like any other Clint Eastwood movies?

Like I said they all have jazz in them haha


Hi are you a fan of Ariana Grande?

Not at all but she does put on a good show, how about you?

I know who she is and I'm reading up on her.

The first fan hit by a puck at the Florida Panthers current arena was a 5 year old Ariana Grande!

That is one crazy fact!

She was also caught licking the display donuts at a donut shop!

lol I remember that.

At 10 years old she co-founded a youth singing group named "Kids who Care" and they performed for charitable events.

That is a nice group to start!

I can't believe she is Italian!

She is always pictured as being hispanic!

I didn't know she was Italian!

You're right too!

Her son "Dangerous Woman" is an anthem to female empowerment and was written by 3 men.

That is pretty ironic haha.

It's sad nobody writes their own music anymore!

I agree.
Do you use the internet a lot?
I'm connected constantly it seems like.

I think we all are!
Have you ever ego surfed?

No I haven't lol What is that?

It is the act of looking oneself up on the internet.

I don't do it because I'm very boring and uninteresting lol.

Same here!

lol  Do you know what they call the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites?

isn't it called the hamburger button?
How original lol.

Yes!

I never heard that before today.

lol  Constant novelty from clicking links on the internet can cause real addition measurable in the brain.

I can believe that!

I can totally believe that!

I'm sure I find myself doing that sometimes haha.

Can you believe that astronauts in space have better internet than we do down here!

That's incredible.

There is 3g cell service and internet at the peak of Mt.

Everest.

Crazy where you can get the internet now.

That is crazy!

Probably for people to ego surf while on top haha.

Do you remember neopets?

Hahah ..

Yes I don remember them.

The current library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down.

How exactly would the whole thing burn down?

lol

That is a good question, it's almost like an abstract question lol.

In 2001, neopets were the fourth most trafficked website, 8 spots in front of Google!

How interesting!

I've had a good time chatting with you and I hope you have a great day!


good evening!
How are you

I'm good.
How are you?

not too bad!

spending some time on the internet, how about you?

I'm using the internet.

Apparently, only 7% of people read the full terms when buying a product on the internet.

i know I never have, have you?

I am included in 93% of people.

I wonder what the heck it even says in those things

I don't know.

Do you know that there is 3G cell service and internet capabilities at the peak of Mt Everest?

good thing, otherwise the climbers wouldn't be able to post some sweet selfies and show everyone what they just did.

True.

They may be able to make phone calls, skype or facetime in an emergency.

did you know that button you see on your phone in the corner, the one with three lines, is called the Hamburger button

I did not know that.

The library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down.

wow i wonder how many TBs that drive is

Very large, I'm sure.

The internet carries a vast range of informational resources and services.

we would be nowhere without it today!

Do you follow celebrity news?

some of it but not a ton, I did hear about Pete Davidsons new girlfriend though

If you are talking about Ariana Grande - she was his ex.

yea I know, he has a new girl now, Kate Beckinsale

I see.

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

I heard, I'm gonna go there now.
take care!


Do you enjoy the NBA?

Hi!
Yes I do, I'm a huge basketball fan.
And yourself?

Not as much as football but I think it's interesting.

I recently learned that one of the 30 teams is Canadian.

Were you aware of that?

I was!

It's definitely interesting that one team is outside the U.S. Have you followed what Denver has been doing at all?

I have not.
What have they been doing?

Basically they've improved a bunch since firing their coach a few years ago, but now they need to win more on the road to be really successful.

Always nice to see a team improve.
Are you familiar with Allen Iverson?

I am!

It's smart he signed a contract that would pay him over time rather than all up front where he might spend it all,

Yes he did.

It was with Reebok.

$800,000 a year until age 55 and then a lump sum of $32,000,000.

That's an amazing deal.

Although not everyone values money more than everything else.

Tim Duncan actually stayed in college all four years rather than go to the league early to make more money,

Good for him.

education is very important.

I'm glad they still took him.

Did you also know that Air Jordan's were banned in the NBA initially?

I didn't know that!

Crazy considering how huge they are today.

I bet most of the Warriors players wear Jordan shoes.

Are you familiar with their team?

Jordan wore them anyway and Nike paid his fines.

I have heard of the Warriors.

I'm sure it was worth it for them too!

The Warriors have been dominant recently, it's nice to see them do good with a foundation that protects families from mosquito borne diseases.

That's very important.

Mosquitos cause so much disease.

They are actually the most dangerous animal.

Did you know that granny style is actually the most effective method to score points on the line?

That's funny haha, maybe the Warriors should have Steph Curry start shooting that way.

Maybe.

Did you know that his brother played for the Santa Cruz Warriors?

I didn't!

That's interesting, he must be worse of a player.

I think a lot of the brothers of players on the Warriors did the same too!

Yes Klay Thompson is the brother of Mychel and he played for the Warriors as well.

On another subject, are you a fan of jazz music at all?

I think it's interesting.

I just recently learned that Clint Eastwood like jazz which is surprising to me.


Hello do you like basketball?

I do, my favorite team is the golden state warriors.

What about you, do you like basketball?

Same the Warriors,  but I dont watch it that often.

Ah, who is your favorite player on the warriors.

Mine is Steph Curry.

Yes!

Curry for sure!

Did you know he grew up in the same town as Lebron James?

Ah yes, that was in  Akron Ohio right?
I should go visit that place sometime.

his real name is Wardell

Really?

I never knew that!

Steph Curry also donates three mosquito nets to Africa for every three pointer he makes!

That is a lot of mosquito nets lol

I agree, although that is also very generous of Steph Curry.

very generous.

I think he only like 5th higest paid player on the team

Yeah, I wonder why he is not paid more, he is definitely the star of the team!

The warriors have a lot of good players now.

True, but I still see Curry as the star.

Did you know that the Warriors earned 12 million dollars after losing one game of the NBA finals?

Wow thats a lot of money

I agree, and that was for losing one game.

Imagine how much they made from winning a game!

In 1975 the warriors played at the cow palace because their arena was booked with another event lol

Haha, anyways, thank you for that chat!

Yes great chat!
have a good one.

Yeah, you too!

Thanks.


Hey, are you a fan of ariana grande?

Yes, I heard she was in the tv show Victorious.

Yeah she was.

Do you listen to her music or buy her albums?

I own a few.

I really only know her from when she starred in tv shows and other films.

Ah, Ariana was the very first person to get hit by a puck from the florida panthers arena!

Yes, I heard she was only 5 years old at the time.

Ariana is also italian.

Her middle name is grande which means big in french

Oh, did you have to use the internet to google that?

Yeah.

Speaking about the internet, did you know that you can have 3g of cell service at the top of Mount Everest?

No, I did not know that.

Must be a great reward after climbing the mountain.

Yeah, and then you can instantly upload your picture onto facebook!

Have you ever read Facebooks terms?

Only 7% of people read the full terms when online.

Well, I guess I fall into the 93% that does not.

What about you?

Do you read them?

No, it's too much to read.

But don't worry, the library of alexandria has a saved copy of the internet if I ever want to.

I wonder how they are updating it then.

The internet is so vast and it changes all the time

Yes, it does.

Especially the clickbait, clicking on those can actually result in addiction.

The three horizontal lines are also known as hamburger buttons.

You mean the menu button on some apps on websites?

Yeah, those three horizontal ones.

That's interesting.
Thanks for these facts!
Have a nice day.

You too, have a nice day!


Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are a couple with a lot of drama in their lives

They're not even a couple anymore, and people are still obsessing about them.

They called their engagement off months ago.

I guess that's what happens when you're famous and get engaged after only dating for a few weeks

Yeah, they dated for just a few weeks and Ariana Grande suffered the loss of her former boyfriend like a month before that, so not exactly a formula for success

They were also very public about their relationship, which fans will grab onto.

The ring cost $100,000

$100,000 dollars!

whaaaaaat!

thats a total waste of money, they also bought a really expensive apartment

And matching tattoos.

And a baby pig they adopted.

And she titled a song on her album after him

A lot of drama indeed, I think Ariana Grande has a lot of privilege and doesn't understand how fortunate she is.

She's been pursuing music and acting for a long time.

I can't deny that she's talented, and maybe the reason the public can't get over it is that they even admitted there might be a possibility in the future

She does have a lot of talent no way to deny that, she also had a big charity concert so that speaks well of her

Her song that's famous for it's female empowerment was actually written by three men.

They must be talented songwriters

Thats kind of ironic, three men writting a female empowerment song and yeah I guess they had a lot of talent

Also, for years I thought she was Hispanic, but it turns out she is actually Italian.

Now that I know, I can see that

She has a hispanic name, she is also a talented actress and the voice to some animated films

I saw her act in the show Victorious.

That's actually how I first learned about her.

Her career has taken off since then

That show was on in 2010 right?

I've had some glimpses of the show, she was also in Sam & Cat.

I watched some of that one too.

Her character was on the ditsy side, which makes it hard for me to take her seriously sometimes because she was so good at the comedic side of those shows

Yeah well celebrities have tough lives, might seem easy with all the money but sometimes they live lonely lives, do you remember Robin Williams I still cant believe he took his own life

I know.

Sometimes I like to watch Aladdin for his voice acting.

He started the trend of celebrities voicing characters in animations

He left a legacy behind, thats a sure thing I bet he was in Pixars secret room many times

Judge Judy has probably been in there too, even if she would never admit to it.

She's the highest paid celebrity after LeBron James because she earns $123,000 per episode

$123,000 per episode, that must be nice lol, I would like to make a fraction of that.


Hi.

Did you know Ariana Grande is not hispanic?

She's Italian.

You know, I hadn't thought of that, my initial thought was Spanish but not totally surprised.

My wife and x-wife are Italian so there are talented Italian women too, lol.

I was surprised she was the first person hit by a puck at a Florida Panther's game, she was marked for fame I guess.

Her Dangerous Woman hit was wrote by men, lol.

Three I read, did you follow her and Pete Davidson engagement and split at all?

I just saw it on Entertainment Tonight and young and famous, long odds it would have worked out, but I wonder if they regret those matching tattoos now?

I did not.

I watched her on Nickelodeon, on her show Sam &  Cat.

I was blown away by her acting.

I've never seen her act, but I'll take you word on that.

She raised $13,000 for the Manchester Bombing victims, her heart seems in the right place.

Her heart was literally there, as she was onstage when the stadium was bombed.

She watched people get hurt.

Wow, I can see how that would effect you, especially if your close to your fans.

Are you a big tech user?

I was surprised to find out you can get 3g Cell Service on top of Mt.

Everest if you ever find yourself there.

Yet, I cannot get service in my barn.

Do you read the full TOS when you buy things online?

That's funny and ironic.

No, I read where 7% of users actually read the TOS and that figure strikes me as high.

I'd be surprised if it was 1%.

I find it odd that the current library of Alexandria, has a saved copy of the internet.

Yes, I think of Muslim countries as more restrictive on Internet, not having a copy of the whole internet and all it's good and bad even if the town is famous for having the most famous library in the ancient world.

Do you watch much TV,  I read where Judge Judy is the highest paid celebrity at $123,000 and episode, that surprises me too but I guess justice isn't cheap.

I guess only LeBron James makes more than she does.

Yes, both are a stretch for "actors" in my book.

Are you old enough to recall Sesame Street, my kids used to and my grandson does now?

I see where Carol Burnett was the first of the many celebrities to appear on the show.

I've never seen Carol Burnett.
I do adore the tv chef of Ethiopia.
I love his channel.

Really, I've never seen that show.

You've seen it, is it good?

Is that show recorded in Ethiopia and he claims to end hunger by diverse food.

I thought the country had food shortages.

I do like it.

You cand find it on youtube, it's Grandpa Kitchen.

I hope Pixar will invite him to their secret room.

Yes, what's in that secret?

If it really a secret room, why are we talking about it?

That means it not very secret.

It's called Grandpa Kitchen, I will look that up.

I thought celebrities have been doing voice overs for years, did you know Robin Williams was the first in Aladdin?

Yes, I watched the tribute, and it was mentioned.

It's cute that Pete Davidson named his baby pig Piggy Smallz

Yes, a sense of humor there; though I thought it was he and Adriana's before the big break up.

Be careful on the internet and pass the word, repeated clicking and novelty can be addictive.

Thank you for chatting with me, have a nice night.


Hello do you like baketball?

Yes I really enjoy basketball, I like playing it and watching it.

My favorite player is Allen Iverson, he even managed to secure a lucrative endorsement deal with Reebok worth more than $50 million!

yeah thats a sweet deal!

I hear that shooting granny style is the most effective technique lol

Have you seen any professional players deploy that technique on the court?

I dont watch that many games,  I do watch the warriors sometimes.

I find it funny that their home stadium was booked with a different event and they had to play at the cow palace lol

Really that happens?

I wonder whether or not the coordinator was fired for that mishap.

But what exactly is a cow palace?

Its just another venue in San Francisco,  its a multi use building,  they have conventions there,  concerts, raves,  flea market,  gun shows,  car shows,  animal shows,  anything really its huge.

Oh wow, and now they can add basketball games to that list!

Do they host jazz concerts there?

Clint Eastwood is a lifelong jazz enthusiast and he even scored several films, as if he wasn't talented enough already!

Probably,  I couldnt say for sure,  I dont work there lol Thats nice,  I recently learned that clint eastwood is allergic to horses lol weird.

That's an odd thing to be allergic to.

When you mentioned the Warriors earlier, I really admire Steph Curry because he works with an organization that donates mosquito nets to protect families from dangerous mosquitoes in Africa for every 3 point shots he makes, 3 nets are donated.

Yeah thats pretty cool,  especially since he makes a lot of 3 point shots!

Yeah, that's what he's known for!

Any other players you like on the  Golden State Warriors team?

Klay thompson,  Kevin durant.

Why are they your favorite Is it because they were the only number one picks in the NBA draft and have gone on to won championships for the Warriors?

Like I said I dont know much about basketball,  I watch the games sometimes,  so I dont know anything about stats or pay.

anytime I watch they seem like they contribute a lot to the game and they make shots.

who are your favorite players?

Michael Jordan because he was courageous enough to leverage his fame and wear Air Jordan's on the court even though they were banned.

Seems like hes known for so much more than that lol

Agreed, something that a lot of people don't know is that Reggie Miller, who is an NBA Hall of Famer, has a sister who is also very good at basketball.

She even broke 8 national records by scoring 105 points!

lol shown up by his sister,  that is funny.

does she play for the womens basketball?

Don't think she's in the WNBA, but with those stats, I think she should.

She definitely has earned bragging rights with scoring 40 points in one game and breaking 8 national records!~

wow thats amazing,  its been good talking to you.


Hi how are you?

Do you like watching the NBA?

I like it because it is considered the premier basketball league in the world.

Yes I am a fan of the Spurs.

The NBA has the worlds best paid athletes.

Nice.

Yeah although I wouldn't complain, they still make a pretty penny.

Hard to believe it's been around since 1946!

Yes it merged with the National Basketball Association in 1949.

Oh interesting.

Some players make a lot.

Iverson is going to receive 32 million at age 55 from Reebok!

Wow!

The players definitely have sponsors.

Air jordans were banned by the NBA but Michael Jordan wore them anyway and Nike paid his fines.

Good publicity for them!

Physicists showed that shooting granny style provided the best technique for free throws but it looks so stupid no one uses it!

Yes Looking cool is important.

Reggie Miller tried but kept failing - he was always overshadowed by his older sister in high school.

Wow that must have been a competitive upbringing!

Tim Duncan was smart though and stayed in college to finish it out despite being offered more money in the NBA.

Yes and he went to my Alma Mater!
Wake Forest!
He was a Demon Deacon like me!

That's awesome!

What do you think of the Warriors?

I'm not a fan but Stephen Curry is amazing.

Yes he is big on charity which is awesome - for every 3 pointer he makes 3 mosquito nets get donated to families in Africa.

So cool.

Can you believe they earned 12 million by losing game 4 of the finals.

Makes me think about whether they actually tried to lose.

Wow!

I guess for more games for tv?

It is interesting that number 1 picks in the draft do not win a lot of championships - only 3 in the last 20 years

True.

Makes sense Lebron was one of the,.

Irving also makes sense but Bogut is kind of a surprise.

Did you know that there were two pairs of brothers playing together in 2013?

Oh yeah the Curry's and the Thompson's!

Amazing how genes make some siblings so talented.

Did you know that in 1975 they had to play their home game at the cow palace?

Their arena had been booked up for other events.

Nice name The Cow Palace lol.

The Warriers were initially founded in Philly but moved to the bay area in 1962.

Man this great jazz song just came on the radio - made in New Orleans.

Are you a fan?

Oh heck yeah.

I lived in New orleans and loved jazz.

Developed from roots in blues and ragtime it is a very cool and unique sound.

I know.

There is a lady in Harlem who holds free jazz concerts in her apartment ever sunday.

Thats awesome.
Clint Eastwood is a fan too.
makes me like him even more.
Have a great day :)


Have you ever had a pet fish?

The last one my roommate had died after she'd had it for about a year

I've never had a pet.
I wonder if fish are easy to care for.

Most of them are, especially if they're freshwater fish.

Saltwater fish require more work because you have to keep the salt level right.

Saltwater fish can drink water both from their mouths and via osmosis, but freshwater species only use osmosis

Ok, I'll have to be careful about that.

There is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.

Would a pet jellyfish outlive you?

What would it do all day?

It seems like a dull existence, just floating about.

How do they know for sure that it's immortal?

I mean, how long have they been keeping track of it, and is there a way they could have known how old it was when it was discovered?

Seems fishy to me

Oh, the whole scientific endeavor is quite fishy, if you ask me.

Do you use Netflix?

Its origins are based on vengeance.

After a $40 late fee on a  copy of Apollo 13, Reed Hastings was inspired to start Netflix

I'm not sure if it's vengeance as much as it is necessity.

I wouldn't be happy about that large of a late fee either.

Sometimes inconvenience sparks creativity

Blockbuster declined several offers to buy Netflix for $50 million.

Netflix is now worth $2 billion.

Netflix succeeded just to spite Blockbuster, and where is Blockbuster now?

Netflix should do a documentary about Bb.

There probably is one.

I always find it ironic when a company declines an offer like that and ends up out of business while the other company succeeds.

Netflix was started in 1997, but I don't remember hearing much about it until years later

Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth.

That's a holdover from those days.

I guess some people don't have good Internet.

People who live in rural places probably still use the rental service.

They started producing their own content back in 2012, and now people have Netflix sometimes just for the original content

From 9pm to 12am, Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America.

What else is there besides Netflix?

I wish I could go back in time and buy the stock.

I could retire and watch Netflix all day.

Most people are watching Netflix all day, but without all the money.

If you add YouTube into the mix, the two make up half the peak internet traffic.

I had a feeling people spend a lot of their time watching videos

Lots of movies to watch.

Do you watch movies?

Stephen King was terrified when as a child he saw the movie Bambi.

He called it the first horror movie he saw.

Scarred for life, he wrote horror stories, but none quite so scary as Bambi.

That movie will *haunt* you.

I think what made it scary was how young he was.

I still won't watch any of Stephen King's movies because the one I saw as a kid was too scary for my taste.

I guess I'm missing out on the extra 180 calories I could be burning by watching films in that genre

Danny, the boy from The Shining, did not know he was acting in a horror film until years later.

They should have showed him Bambi.

Then he would have understood.

And maybe burned some calories.

Things must not be as scary while filming.

Horror in literature has been a while for much longer.

I'm more likely to read something by Edgar Allen Poe than I am to watch The Shining

You are strong in the reading.

I am not so strong.

I stick with the video stuff because I can follow the pictures.

I can do some thriller movies.

Like Shutter Island.

Maybe the few thrillers I like will be enough to help me appreciate abstract art like horror supposedly does

Well, I must say that I've had a horrific time chatting with you, and burned thousands of calories.

More entertaining than watching Netflix, and much less bandwidth.

Stay scared and scary!

Can't complain about burning calories while sitting!


Do you have a favorite album?

Not really, I like the clean versions of the albums Walmart sells, what about you?

i was big into linkin parts hybrid theory back in 2001, I even saw them in concert

That is a great band I really like them too bat the leading singer committed suicide.

Do you like Led Zeppelin?

Right that was sad.
They did like 324 shows in 2001 alone.
I love Led Zeppelin, do you?

I love them as well, cool fact about the band, they decided not to name their fourth album in order to confuse the press.

lol that is awesome.

They were famous enough so it didn't matter.

I like it!

Are you a Pink Floyd fan?

I am a fan, he is one of the greatest icons of music do you like him?

I agree, his album has been one of the best selling albums like 40 years straight

40 years straight no kidding, that is a long time, do you like Bob Marley?

I love Bob Marley, I guess i like a lot of these people lol.

How about you?

Don't worry be happy!

I think his an inspiration to us all, well  his been on the album chart for 914 weeks and it currently sits at position 69

wow, sad he died so early.

How about NWA, are you a fan of that rap group?

I am a fan of the group and yeah that was really sad, it was a tragic death.

For sure.

NWA's album went platinum without major air time and tours.

It did?

I guess that was a great album, do you know the band Aerosmith?

Aerosmith was great, I loved their guitar hero game!

That is a great game, love it, well the band made more money from that game than any of their albums.

wow that is insane.

I wonder how much they made because I think all their albums were a complete success!

They were really successful, maybe they got bad deals out of them, they are a really successful band so something doesn't add up

I agree, something is fishy, but then again one game costed as much as probably 5-6 albums.

It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your night!


Hi, how are you?

Doing great how bout you.

I am well, thanks!
Do you listen to country music?

I do.

Did you know it originated from celtic music.

No, I didn't know that.
Do you know who Tegan Marie is?

Who is she.

I am reading that she is a 15 year old singer/songwritter.

She is bringing a new philosophy to country music, a younger one.

Thats cool.

A different perspective than when we thought an nfl country album was a good idea huh

Did you read about U2 opening for themselves dressed in disguises in 1987?

They came on as a country band.

I heard about that.

Im surprised nobody noticed to be honest with you.

I am sure no one really paid attention and was just waiting for U2 like "Who are these guys wasting our time?"

Probably so.

Whenever I have went to counrty concerts I always enjoyed the acts that came on before the main singer.

Me too!

I feel like they try harder so they can get their big break!

Did you know that taylor swift actually walks backwards to avoid being photographed.

Seems dangerous and vain...

But I am not sure I could pick her out of a line up so that is just my naivet√©...

Yeah I dont see the problem with getting a picture taken.

She makes enough money to put up with that annoyance.

yeah plus she has been photoed enough so nothing can be new

I understand wanting some privacy.

Go back to your families 11 acre tree farm for a visit if you need to get away.

I wonder if they do that for Isreal and Palastine too?

Not sure what you mean by that.

They have a land dispute for the gaza strip... Nice chatting with you!


Looks like Tegan Marie will be the next thing in country music... at age 15.

That for sure!

Did you see her at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade?

No, I missed it.

She is going to bring Gen Z to country music.

That will be huge for country music.

Gen Z is expected to have up to $143 billion in spending power.

Talk about some serious dough!

Tegan Marie has that powerhouse voice.

That's right.

She has been called "a little superstar" by her peers.

She showed so much promise that her parents were invited to LA to meet with music executives when she was 12.

That would be so cool.

Tegan was part of Radio Disney.

I bet she met a lot of really cool people.

She sang for producer Scott Hendricks, who got her working on her first album.

That's a really big name in country.

Tegan has been compared to another big name in country music.

She is often compared to Taylor Swift.

If she is half as good as Swift, she will have a tremendous career.

That's for sure!

Swift was the youngest artist to ever be signed by Sony/ATV Music.

And Tegan Marie is the youngest singer to be signed to a major label since Tanya Tucker.

And Tanya Tucker has had a great career singing country.

I'm a big fan of country music, but was surprised when I found out the Fender Stratocaster was intended for country music.

I think of other genres for this instrument first.

What a great guitar that is.

Country music evolved from so many forms... hillbilly, western, with a bit of blues added in.

It even crossed into sports!

In 1996, NFL players were featured in an album called NFL Country singing along with current country music stars.

Even U2 did country music.

Then opened for themselves in 1987 disguised in costumes and wigs.

I don't think of U2 at all when I think of country music, even though it is often mixed with Irish and Celtic tunes and English ballads.

I usually think of working class Americans when I think of country.

Working class music is right...  ballads and dance tunes, simple lyrics, steel guitars and fiddles.

Country music is the most popular genre played in rush hour.

That's gotta be something for the working class!

Yes, music for the masses!


hi, do you like comedy?

I do, it is one of my favorite genres.
I especially like Comedy Central

nice.

did you know they have cancelled 100 shows since their founding?

That seems like a lot, but since 1989 I guess the most of them have been successful.

yeah for sure.

do you know what bromantic comedies are?

Is that like the bromance buddy movie type of thing?

yeah like hangover

Those are usually the best.

Green Lantern was supposed to be a comedy.

Deadpool is my favorite superhero movie because of the comedy part.

yeah i love that movie too.
do you know who ryan stiles is?

The name sounds familiar, but I cant place him.

he is a comedian who dropped out of high school to pursue his dream and achieved it

That is really cool.

I think it is great when people achieve their dreams.

Inception, which is all about dream worlds, was originally supposed to be a horror film

I can kind of see that.
do you know bill murray?

Yeah, I loved him in Ghostbusters, Groundhog day, What about Bob...  so many great movies

yeah there are so many.

did you ever watch third rock from the sun?

Very little of it.

they won the best comedy prize within golden globes beating friends amongst others

Wow, Friends is pretty iconic.

I would consider it one of the legends of sitcoms.

me too, i love that show.
do you like horror  movies?

I dont do horror films well.
I get way too creeped out.
I think the last one I saw was Scream.

i really do not like them .

do you know how they make those weird noises in those movies?

There is an instrument called the waterphone that they use.

A lot of the music for sci fi movies comes from the theramin.

that is so creepy.

the guy from shining did not even know he was in a scary movie

That is crazy, all the people who worked on the exorcist didnt think it would be considered a horror film.

my goodness, that was a really scary movie.

stephen kind was terrified of bambi.

It must have been that opening scene, I heard he still says it is the scariest movie he's ever seen.

And he created IT....

I do not understand it but ok, good for him.

did you know you burn more calories watching horror movies?

That is totally believable.

but Id still rather just exercise, lol.... no horror for e.

haha me too.
nice chat


HI, there.

The grossest act was finally kicked of America's Got Talent!

It is bad when Simon Cowell recoils in horror when you  perform.

He has the most pull of all the judges.

Exactly, well said!

I don't want to see grown men spitting water on my 70 inch tv, yuck!

That isn't even comedy to me.

Its just poor taste and manners.

That is right comedy needs to emphasize humor like slapstick.

Yeah, exactly.

I like the new genre called bromantic comedies.

I have not hear of that term does it have anything to do with Monty Python?

It is actually more like the movie Hangover, Harold & Kumar or Pineapple Express.

The kind of movie based around guys friednships.

I know what you are talking about now.

It sounds like what the movie The Green Lantern was going to be when Jack Black was supposed to be it's star.

Noway, I never heard that.
Wwo, I think Jack Black is so funny!
The other actor I like is Bill Murray.

Yes, Bill Murray has the perfect dead pan face.

I like the classics even those black and white movies.

Yeah, I do too.

They are fun to watch on a lazy Sunday type of day.

I don't really care for horror films.

I have watched s few Stephen King movies though.

He is a great writer and so its hard to not watch his.

I agree with you about horror movies unless the writing is good like the Steven King movies.

The Shinning was fabulous but I love Hitchcock the best.

His movies are more suspense then horror except for the Birds and psycho.

Good point.

Did you know that the boy Danny in the Shining didn't even know that he was in a horror movie until several years later.

I can understand that because thankfully the actor did not actually see the bloody ghosts.

Did you know that ET was actually scripted to be a horror movie.

I am glad that was changed.

I didn't know that about ET!
WOW!
I love that movie so much!

Yes, I love it just because it reminds me of my childhood.

That is how we lived in that time.

Lots of imagination and kids taking off in groups having adventures.

Yes, we used to watch it outside when we were camping.

It was fun.

We used to travel a lot as kids.

All of Japan tolls costed over $300 to travel across the country.

That sounds like fun.

Make sure you keep an eye on your garden gnomes.

I hear people are having fun taking them on trips and then returning them with photos of their adventures.

HAHA!

Yeah, I did notice those lil guys in different places than I left them.

Did you know that they moved the baggage claims further from your flight to make sure people don't complain while waiting for their baggage.

We are nothing but sheep.

Oh wow, that is hilarious!!
I totally believe it!!!
Good catch!.

Is it not a fun fact.
Lovely chatting with you today.


Are you a country music fan?

I listen to it occasionally when in the mood.

Do you like the oldies like Conway Twitty or the more modern like George Strait?

The only country I really listen to is Johnny Cash.

Oh.

Did you know George Strait and Jeff Bezos of Amazon are cousins?

That's interesting.
I had no idea.
Talented family for sure.

That's the truth.

The fender stratocaster guitar was designed for country music.

I find that odd.

That is really odd.

It's such an iconic fixture of rock now.

That's what I thought too!

Henry Ford promoted country music to defend against jazz which he found indecent!

There are probably racist undertones to this move.

After all, only 2 blacks are in the country hall of fame.

I suspect you're right.

Though I'm not a Taylor Swift fan she successfully crossed from country to pop.

Wealthy young woman owning a private jet worth 40 million!

Yes, it's amazing how young she was when she became famous.

Probably the most successful female "country" of all time.

OK now I have just seen something interesting and wonder if you know about it.

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

How do you get onboard with that?

This seems hard to believe, kind of like how an Iphone has more computing power than the entire US ICBM deterrent.

Good comparison.

I mean how do they know you're not using it.

Is it not using it when you need to or anytime your phone is idle?

Are you supposed to use email instead?

What is the benefit of not using your cell phone anyway?

Exactly.

If Unicef cared about children, they would just give them clean water and not link it to lack of cell phone use.

I just don't see the benefit - Anyhow, do you think the hype of G5 is because it will replace those tiny transoceanic date cables?

I think 5G is just for cell phones so it can't cross the oceans.

We still need fiber optics for those.

Why not satellite?

You bring up a good point.
I didn't think about satellites.

Hey great chatting with you!


How's it going, do you like comedy films?

It is one of the oldest film genres

I love it.

Did you know Graham Chapman was a doctor originally?

No, I had no clue.

Demetri Martin went to Harvard law before he got involved in comedy

WOw cool.

Yeah Graham decided to give up his practice and focus on comedy only

Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school to do comedy, that is pretty risky

That sure is but I guess all these guys we are mentioning did pretty well in comedy

I guess so.

Have you've ever seen Pineapple express, it is considered a bromantic comedy

I have , it is funny.

Did you know the Green Lantern movie was supposed to be a comedy with Jack Black?

No, that sounds pretty unfunny to be honest.

I heard Kung Fu Hustle is suppose to be funny, at least Bill Murray thinks so

Hmm interesting.

Evan Almighty is the most expensive comedy made

I wonder why?

Did you know 3rd Rock from the Sun beat out Seinfeld for best comedy series at the 1997 Golden Globes?

Wow cool.
Do you like horror movies?

Yea, I like the Shinning, the boy who played Danny didn't even know he was in a horror film

Wow.
Did you know E.T.
was supposed to be a scary movie?

No, I had no idea.

Then again Stephen King considered Bambi a horror movie

WOw how come?

THe movie Scream was supposed to be titled Scary Movie back in 1996

I have no clue, maybe Bambi featured scenes with a waterphone playing

Hmm what is a waterphone?

I do not think I have heard of that before?

It's an instrument that makes the creepy metallic noises in horror movies

Oh that is what it is called.

Inception was also supposed to be a horror movie originally

Cool.

Well I have to go, nice chatting with you


Hi.

Do you like to go to concerts?

Live performances in front of an audience.

Hi, I do.

I've seen Queens of The Stone Age 53 times!

Pearl Jam more then 20, and 100s of other bands.

Wow!

You are a great concert goer.

You must hold some type of record like the Ramones.

They played a total of 2263 concerts.

Wow.

Never got to see them as they were before my times.

I've seen Pearl Jam cover I believe in miracles many times though.

That is very cool.
The Ramones toured for over 20 years.
I am bummed I missed those 20 years.

Me too.

Even CBGB's no longer exists anymore.

I did at least go there when it was still a bar but didn't see anyone play there.

A band that comes pretty close to that record is Linkin Park.

They played 324 concerts in one year alone!

Sadly Linkin Park is another band I never got around to seeing.

I always thought there would be more time.

I agree.

One band I am glad I never saw is Creed.

They played a concert so terrible in 2002 that 4 concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band.

LOL.

Last I saw Scott Strapp or however you spell his name was really struggling.

I saw Roger Waters recent tour and I was really impressed.

Never got to see Pink Floyd though.

Well no one got to see them in 1972 when they recorded a live concert in an ancient roman amphitheater in Pompeii with no audience.

True.

I have a dvd of that performance though, its fantastic.

That is so cool.

I would love to see a band in a venue like that.

In Croatia they still use a Roam amphitheater for concerts.

I would love to go to europe for some concerts.

Those old venues are so much better then the cavernous hockey areas so many bands choose to play in north america.

I feel like they don't make music like they used to.

Despite being released over 40 years ago, Dark Side of the Moon is still one of the best selling albums.

I still play it all the time.
I have an original pressing copy.
LP's are great.

And we talked about Linkin Park before.

Their album Hybrid Theory is the best selling album of the 21st century.

Yeah it's a great album.
Still sad about Chester.

It really is.

Some artist leave us too young.

Thank goodness we always have the music.

Well thanks for chatting.

I learned a lot of fun new information today.

Have a great day.
I love talking music anytime.

Keep enjoying music and be sure to see your favorite band in a Roman amphitheater!


Hey there do you like comedy movies?

I think those are some of my favorites personally

Sometimes I'm in the mood for them, other times I am not though.

Have you ever seen the movie Kung Fu Hustle?

I think that it's a Chinese movie actually, and I know that Bill Murray really loves that movie

No, but I'm a Bill Murray fan, I saw him in groundhog day.

Haha yes I love Groundhog Day.

It's a Perfect Blend between a comedy and a drama actually.

I would recommend seeing Kung Fu Hustle, I actually did like it, I also like the movie Rushmore, Bill Murray's in that too

I thought it was good.

I like that one too.

Did you know Air Travel is 10% slower today?

Wow I didn't know that, do you know why?

Maybe it's because it's better overall fuel economy?

I want to ride the dutch bus that travels at 160 miles per hour by the way LOL

I think they did it to save on fuel costs.

Pretty crazy about the bus!

I agree!

I would definitely ride it haha.

Have you ever traveled around the world?

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

I didn't know that.

No, I haven't.

Apparently years ago sailors would release rabbits on islands to provide future food.

That is kind of interesting.

Have you ever been to Iceland by the way?

They don't have a real service, so they actually just take planes between some of the major towns, that's very wild haha

No, I have no reason to visit there.

That's pretty crazy, so like they fly everywhere?

Yes between the major cities.

Apparently the roads are really bad so they can't always drive either.

Have you ever been to Mackinac Island by the way?

No, I've never even heard of that.
What continent is it on?

Yes it's in the state of Michigan actually.

I live in Michigan and I've been there LOL.

I don't think it's that cool, the only thing is they don't allow cars on the island, all they use are horses and horse buggies

Interesting.

Sort of like on the East Coast, they have an island like that just south of Ocean City, MD.

Interesting, I haven't heard of that one.

Do you watch horror movies by the way?

Apparently watching a horror movie can burn almost 200 calories

Interesting, I haven't seen any horror movies in a long time, but apparently E.T.

was originally a horror movie.

Yeah that would have made a completely different movie in my opinion haha.

Do you know the water phone is by the way?

No, what is that?
That can't be real.

Apparently it's an instrument.

They use it in horror and Sci-Fi movies.

It makes like a creepy metallic noise?

I think I know what they're talking about but I would have to do more research to know for sure


Hi, are you a japanese prosecutor?

Um...no.

HA!

Good.

They are keeping the man down.. What about celebrity... do you follow that?

I follow some celebrities.

Not the reality show people.

I do not like that people can be considered famous just for being spoiled rich people

Did you hear about that college admission scandal yesterday?

I did.

It is crazy to think about what celebrities think they can get away with.

Yeah.

I wonder what normal people would think of their world.

Did you see the one who brags about all the luxury items she gets for xmas?

I did not.

I can imagine a lot of celebrities get a bunch of stuff for christmas

She would get luxury items like handbags and post about them on instagram.

She would get like $100K in xmas presents.

I was not so much jealous as disgusted.

It was surprising to me (My disgust).

Well that seems a bit overboard

yeah.

I wonder if they ever made it into the secret pixar room?

I would love to go there.

Really bet there is some cool stuff there

Me too!
I love pixar too.
Toy story is one of my favorite movies!

It is a great one.

Toy Story 4 is coming soon and should be a good one

I actually heard that today.

I did not know toy story 3 had any loose ends.

I am happy they will be tying them up though.

They also want to be sure to make millions more dollars

That makes more sense.

Do they have all the voice actors coming back?

I believe so.

Would not be much of a movie without Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in it

Agreed.

I always like trying to figure out who the voice actors are.

Aladdin was the first real movie to have celebrities in voice roles

Wow.
That's strange.
Nice chatting with you!


do you use the phone much?

all the time.
do you now who invented the cell phone?

I have no idea, who was it?

Yes it was an undertaker who was afraid they were rerouting his clients to others

WOw cool.

Dod you know why the NY area code is 212?

I am not sure of that but dolphins can communicate via phone

That is so cool.

The area code is because it was easy to dial on a rotary phone

Cool.

Yeah and dolphins can tell who is on the other side of the line

WOw amazing.

DId you know that it is hard to separate two phonebooks?

WOw cool.

DO you know that Hedy Lamarr helped with the invention of the cell phone?

Wow cool UNICEF donates clean water when we do not use our phones

I wonder how they do that so we can help more .

Do you like DIsney?

Yes I do.

DO you know the real name of Minnie Mouse?

I actually do not know her real name, is it too different?

It is actually MInerva Mouse but I like Minnie better

Yes me too.

Did you know that they do not accept outside ads?

Oh I see, I guess they really want to focus on their products

Yeah I guess.

They make over $1000 per second that is insane

Yeah that is a lot.

They worked with Bill Nye in the Flubbber movie

THat is fitting.

THey worked with Salvador Dali on the movie Destion in 1945

That is so cool.
Nice chat today


Hi do you use your phone much

QUite a bit actually.

Do you know who invented the dial phone?

I am not sure, who?
DO you know why NY area code is 212?

It was an undertaker.
No I do not know that, why?

Because it was easy to dial on a rotary phone.

An undertaker really?

Oh wow nice.

Yeah he thought phone companies rerouted his calls to other businesses

WOw interesting.
Have you ever used a rotary phone?

I cannot say that I have really.
Have you?

I have not either.

How about phone books?

Not sure if those are still in use though?

I have not seen those in a long time actually.

Did you know dolphins can communicate by phone?

Well if you ever see them attached to each other it is impossible to separate them.

Dolphins, really?

Yeah they can tell who is on the other side of the line

I guess they are as smart as they are made to be on tv and shows

Yeah exactly.

do you know who helped in the invention of the cell phone?

Hmm not sure, who was it?

It was actress Hely Lamarr, and also gps and wifi, what a genius

Oh wow good for her and for us too

Yeah I know.

Did you know there is no correlation between phone service and the bars on top?

SO we look up there for nothing?

wow.

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

I like that idea.

What do you think of Disney in general/?

I think they are pretty amazing and have great projects


hi how are you?
what do you think of government?

It's ok, probably a bit too big in Nevada.

Yeah, that is a funny fact, isnt it?

86% What is the govt doing there anyhow?

I'm not sure, area 51 is there, right?

I think that is in New Mexico.

that is where the aliens are supposed to be.

but maybe that is a trick, misdirection or something.

could be nevada.

Yeah, you might be right about that.
Perhaps it is national parks then.

I dont know how many parks there are in Nevada.

I know that the military controls a lot of airspace there.

yeah, I'm not sure either.
I've been to Vegas though.
That is fun.

Vegas is fun.

if the govt controlled it, it would not be fun.

LOL

That is true.

I always stay at the cosmo, I'm not much of a gambler.

I am not a gambler either.
tried it, didnt like it.
I think it is good to legalize though.
some people want to do it.

I think it works out well.
I just go there to party.
LOL

I enjoy the food and the shows.

I have never seen any celebrities there.

You?

Yeah, they are pretty cool.

Hmmm, I've seen a lot of celebrities but that is because I lived in LA at one point.

Yes, celebrity spotting in LA!
did you see anyone cool?

I've met a bunch of people, Ludicrous, Vin Diesel, the Rock, Connery, Hathaway, the list is pretty long.

But that is because I used to play in bands and hang out at the clubs every day.

Ok, that is a good way to meet people.

i think a lot of celebrities just want to be treated in a friendly, straightforward way.

no screaming

Yeah, honestly you don't recognize who they are initially.

They look completely different in real life.

Yes, and you can hardly believe your eyes.

I had that happen to me.

Is my mind playing tricks?

What??

Anyway, great chat!

Yeah, it is pretty cool.
Nice chatting with you.

Yes, i enjoyed chatting!
Have a good day!

You too!


hey there, do you follow any celebrities?

Yes.

I just watched Justin Bieber's wife on the late night TV show.

The host asked her how she felt that a man named Justin Bieber was banned from using that name on Facebook.

Wow going to extremes.

Do you know which celebrity started the trend of voicing animated characters.

I am not sure.
Who is it?

Robin Williams, the man has been involved in everything I think.

He was probably also in the movie Madagascar.

Did you know that the movie had a running joke of hiding celebrity names in the dialogue?

I did not know that, that is so cool.

Did you know that Pixar has a secret room that celebrities can visit?

No I didn't know that.
Where is the room located in Pixar?

I have no idea, still a secret I guess.
Do you know Judge Judy?

Yes!

I love her show.

She is the highest paid day time personality on TV.

She could probably buy Marvel Comics if she wanted to.

Unlike Michael Jackson who tried to buy the brand in the 1990's.

Yeah, the only person that gets paid higher than her is Lebron James.

Really?
How much money does he make?

I have no idea but that is a lot of money if he is making more than her.

True.

Do you watch YouTube videos?

Another celebrity that makes a lot of money is Jenna Marble.

She makes $346,827 annually from her channel.

Yeah some of them have become really popular and rich.

I watch a lot of videos on Youtube about foreign governments.

Did you know that the Chinese government has censored the word 'censorship'?

Wow.

The US government made plans to destroy wikileaks and wikileaks leaked those documents themselves.

Really?

Had no clue.

Another video I watched was how Monaco eliminated income tax in 1869 because of the revenue of the casino was sufficient to sustain the government.

That is mind blowing, they are such a rich country still.

The Norwegian gov't donated one billion dollars to protect the rainforests in amazon

I wish that more countries donated as much as the Norwegians.

Our government on the other hand, is shutting down.

It has shut down 17 times in the past 37 years.

Yeah that is so sad.
It was nice chatting with you.


Hello, How are you today?
Do you enjoy Drama?

Hello!

How are you?
Yes I do like drama.

That's good!

Did you know there is a website where you can listen to classic radio drama?

No I didn't know that!

That would be cool to check out.

Some radio dramas from the old days were really good.

I agree, I want to try it.
Its free too!

That makes it even better!
Have you ever watched the show, House?

Yes, pretty good!
Hugh Laurie got $700.00 per epidsode!

Did you watch 3rd rock from the sun?

Yes I did.
I loved that show!
John Lithgow was so great in it!

Oh, I like him!!

He was good in Harry and the Hendersons!

My kids would watch that movie over and over!

Yeah, 3rd Rock won a Golden Globe i 1997.

i think I remember that.

Didn't it beat out Seinfeld and Frasier?

Yeah, it did Friends and Frasier too!
I liked all those shows.

Me too.

I also liked that movie you mentioned, Harry and the Hendersons.

It was great!

Some movies and tv shows are just so good that they stay with you.

I guess for Bill Murray that would be kung fu hustle.

lol, yes!
oh gosh, he's so funny!
So was the kung fu hustle!

He has said that it's the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy.

At the time it was!

and still is very funny!

!Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school to pursue comedy!

I've never seen it.
Was he in it?

No,It was another funny comedian.

Did you know a moon of Saturn, Titan has evidence of methane based life!

Very interesting!

That is interesting!

I wonder what is there.

I like Mar's moon, Phobos.

I think the fact that it's 1/3 hollow really brings questions to mind.

Really, I didn't know it was hollow?

Very true.

Just looking at Steven Martin use to make me laugh back in the day!

I think he does alot of writing now!

Good chat!

Yeah, there are some that believe it could have been made by aliens.

It's been good chatting with you too.

Have a great day!
