Hello!
Are you a fan of Netflix?

Yes, I am!

I can not believe it was founded in 1997.

Doesn't seem that long ago!

I know!

They now have 137 million subscribers worldwide!

Yes, and I'm one of them.

They did not expand their business until 2007 when they added their media streaming service.

What year did they expand to the streaming service?

Per my last message, it was in 2007.

Then they expanded internationally in 2010 with streaming in Canada followed by Latin America and the Caribbean.

Ahhh...ok...lol.

My fingers typed faster than my mind.

I'm surprised to see that Netflix still spends 20 times more on postage than on bandwidth.

I don't know anyone who still subscribes to the DVD rental business part.

No, I don'

I find the story of how Netflix got started amusing.

Reed Hastings started if after racking up a $40 late fee on a vhs copy of Apollo 13.

Oh, now that is funny.

I find it amusing that Blockbuster declined several offers to buy Netflix for $50 million.

Wouldn't that be funny if the place that fined him that late fee was Blockbuster?

lol

Yes, it sure would be.

Hard to believe that now Netflix is worth $2 billion.

I be Blockbuster is kicking themselves.

I literally just read that there is just 1 store left in something like Washington state I think.

Netflix now takes up to 33 percent of all bandwidth in North America from 9PM to 12 AM.

Yeah, I bet they sure are.

Hard to believe that Netflix and Youtube together make up half of peak internet traffic in North America.

I believe it.
I use both heavily!
lol

Yes, same here.

Netflix was founded in California.

It seems like a lot of the good ideas are from there.

Yes.

I agree.

Speaking of founded...I can't believe that since it was started Pokemon now has over 750 episodes!

Yes, that is a lot.

My kids liked it.

They liked the Simpsons too.

One episode of the Simpsons Bart was not seen or mentioned.

It was weird.

I wonder why they wrote him out of an episode like that?

Maybe they did it just to see if people would notice.

Who knows?

Maybe.

Or the voice actor wasn't available for that episode?

I didn't know that there were other people who did the voice for Thomas the Tank.

In addition to George Carlin, Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin did it as well.

In fact, all 3 did the voice for at  least 52 episodes each.

I can't believe that!

And to think of all the Thomas episodes I've seen!

Nice chatting with you today!

It was fun and nice chatting with you too!

Bye.


Hello, do you agree with the Kavanaugh nomination?

I think it's interesting how he's connected in the #MeToo movement.

It's interesting how big it's become in a culture that also emphasizes romance on TV and in movies

That's so true.

Apparently, people use lot of dating apps these days and it has had a significant impact on how they date.

True.

Which makes it harder to know how the person might act in real life.

I wonder how the rate of assault is affected by the increase of online dating

I have read many awkward stories where people fake their identity on such apps only to be realized later by the other person.

Even those stories are in movies now.

I'm sure there's a Netflix Original that features that.

Have you seen their movie "The Kissing Booth"?

Yes, I have heard about it.

Noah is known for his misogyny.Is that correct?

He's the stereotypical hot jerk.

Which is classic in a lot of movies, but with all the assaults being made public, I can see why that type of character is controversial

Speaking of Netflix, did you know that they have offices in various countries across the world?

It has been getting popular over the past few years and it growing rapidly.

The founder got the idea after getting a $40 late fee on a VHS.

Now it's a well-known company

Yes, I second that fact.

Not only that, they are huge part of internet traffic along with youtube

What's funny is that even with how big streaming has become, they still spend more on postage than on bandwidth

Haha.

That's indeed funny.

Now that Netflix is changing the way we seek entertainment, I feel pity for the television.

People do still watch television though, especially during the Super Bowl when the advertisements are half the reason people watch

Yeah, but the numbers have been dwindling.

Take pokemon for instance there are so

There's over 750 episodes of that show.

Sixteen years' worth of animation, and several movies on top of the games.

It's a very popular trend that's lasted

I guess TV will soon be forgotten in the next few decades.

Just like the telephone with the advent of smartphones.

There's so much that our smartphones can do, too!

The entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent still doesn't have as much computing power as the iPhone

Exactly, the most popular device - iPhone is very powerful in terms of computation in comparison to the old school PC

People have become addicted to their phones though, to the point that for every minute you don't use your phone, Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need

That's true.

Did you know that the code NYC is 212 is chosen in such way because it was the most convenient numbers to dial on the old style phones.

It's such a large city that it makes sense.

I can't imagine how big their phone books were.

Two phonebooks that have their pages overlapped together can't be separated


Do you own a car?

Hello, yes I have a Ford Fusion.
What about you?

I own a cadillac actually.
Have you heard what is it named after?

I heard it was named after a French explorer.

Heard he founded Detroit too.

Yep his name is Antoine de la mothe cadillac, cadillac rolls off the tongue better lol.

I think Ford was founded in Detroit also

Very cool.

The trunk of a car was named that because older cars actually had wooden trunks.

wow, didn't know that.

I wonder if it was easy to break into trunks back in the day

I bet it was super easy.

In South Africa, it's legal to equip a car with a flamethrower.

I heard that, must be a lot of carjackings.

Would you equip the fusion with one?

I would love to have a flamethrower haha.

What about you?

lol me too, put that sucker on my prius, make it more intimidating lol!

I can show it off on Facebook then

HAHA!
Do you have a Facebook account?

Yep, I don't use it as much anymore like I used to, but it is ok. Did you hear myspace turned it down?

I saw they turned it down for $75 million.

Yea, I wonder how myspace is doing.

Facebook is worth like 104 billion dollars right now!

I bet they are really kicking themselves in the you know what for passing up on that offer now.

right, I bet really bad lol!

Did you ever participate in the burger king promotion?

I did not, but I would have loved to.
Would you have?

If you deleted 10 friends you got a free whopper.

I wanted to delete like 1000!

lol, it was so nice chatting with you!

That's awesome.
I would have loved to do that.

Enjoy your day, unadd some friends, lol!


Have you heard much about conspiracy theories in the White House?

I know there was just one over a sex scandal.

Well I have heard of some of them.
Really?

Yes.

The government really is great as it can enforce organizational policies as well as determine policy.

However, they are under scrutiny.

Yes, The Chinese government censors the word ,"censorship" I am not surprised!

Oh I had no idea!

Did you know that each government has its own kind of constitution which is a statement of its governing principles in theory.

Yes I did.

Monaco's government is sustained by the casino's, therefore they have no income tax.

Wow!

That's great!

Did you know that a government's philosophy is a balance of individual freedom and absolute state authority (tyranny).

Its important to have a balance.

If you renounce your citizenship the government publishes your full name.

Oh I had no idea.

Did you know the government owns 86% of land in nevada.

Yes, I did.
That is a lot!
Do you watch much television?
I don't watch a lot anymore.
I watch on the internet these days.

I do.

I really like watching Trump's Presidential Addresses as they are short and sweet.

TV works as a mass medium for news, entertainment and advertising.

It works for me!

Really, that's good.

I find I can find what I need on the internet.

Although I still have cable, I do like the nature and history stations.

I like reality TV a lot.

Did you know that there is only one episode of the Simpson's that Bart does not appear and he is not mentioned?

I heard that.

Also, Homer Simpson had 188 jobs in 400 episodes.

lol

Oh my gosh!

I never knew.

Did you know that Ringo Starr narrated many episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine?

No really?

I will have to look that up.

I didn't know that was his voice.

Have you watched Shark Tank?

I use to.

I'm not surprised only a few deals are enacted.

Yes, and I have listened to so many Thomas shows too!

I had no clue.

I love dolphins, they are so smart!

If they communicate over the telephone apparently they know who they are talking to.

lol

I like them too, I had no idea they could communicate over the phone.

I know the telephone converts the human voice into electronic signals that are transmitted but I did not know it could do the same for dolphins.

I would like to hear those ring tones from the London Symphony Orchestra!!

Great chat!

Yes, nice talking to you as well!


Hi there!
How are you tonight?
I'm good.
I am hanging out watching TV tonight.

Hello,  I am great,  how are you?
thats good,  watching anything good?

Just watching a little bit of it all.I like the Simpsons.

I was not crazy about the episode where Bart was not seen or talked about though.

Yeah I used to watch that show,  I dont think I ever seen that episode.

I hear that Homer had like 180 jobs lol

Oh wow!

That is a lot!

I wonder if he ever worked for the Government?

Doubt it lol Did you know there are like 750 pokemon episodes?

Yes!

There are enough to play just about an episode a week for 16 straight years.

I have seen many.

Wow that is a lot !

Yes, more than I need to see and I've seen a lot.

As many kids shows as I've seen, when I was watching I never realized that Ringo Starr narrated Thomas the Tank Engine.

That is interesting.

I think my nephews used to watch that lol

My youngest did.

Even George Carlin and Alec Baldwin have narrated the show.

I wish I would have realized this when I was watching instead of finding out later.

Do you use phones a lot?

An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent?

I don't think I'm ever without access to a phone.

Unicef donates a day of water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your phone.

Oh, that is a good idea!

It's just amazing that the whole US Nuclear ICBM does not have as much computing power as an I phone.

I just said that lol Yes it is amazing.

Yes, I was agreeing with you.
Such an awesome piece of technology.

Yeah its kinda scary how much tech is in a phone.

I agree, and to think the diameter of the cables on the ocean floor that carry internet and phone data are only 2.7 inches in diameter.

Its pretty interesting that they just lay on the ocean floor,  I wonder if they are concerned an fish or sea animal might chew through it.

It must work if that's the way it has been set up.

Have a good night!


Its ironic how that 13 year old girl got killed

Are you talking about Sandra Parks?

She's the girl that wrote about gun violence and then got shot.

Yeah the same one, a real tragedy, hopefully something can be done about this im sick of all the gun violence in the country

I know what you mean and it is sad to hear, not just about her but about everyone that has been involved in gun violence in some way.

What makes Sandra Parks story really sad though is that she was in her house when she got hit by a stray bullet from outside.

Yeah a strayed bullet, Im afraid, we are not even safe at home now,  I might have to read her essay ''The Truth'' it might make me cry

What can really make you cry is that she was shot during the Thanksgiving holidays.

Now, for the rest of their lives her family will have to relive that every Thanksgiving.

Yeah that would ruin the holidays for anyone, I cant imagine the pain her family felt and is feeling right now.

As I remember the story I think that the shooters were just randomly firing shots into houses.

I can't believe someone, any human being, would think - hey, let's just fire shots at that house over there!

And she didnt die right away, so sad when she told her mother ''Momma, Im shot.

Call the police'' that just broke my heart.

Oh I know!

I remember hearing about that.

I know there are two sides on the issue of gun control.

Some say get rid of guns some say to keep them.

In this instance the shooter was a convicted felon illegally in possession of a gun.

Even with gun control, as there is for felons, he still had one.

Yeah i guess its really hard to control who buys guns in this country, good thing the police catched them, they had two guns right?

I believe so.

Say, how about something a little happier to talk about?

Do you use facebook?

Did you know that it was launched back in 2004 on the 4th of February?

Yeah I agree, the topic is too dark, lets change it, and yes I am a Facebook User since 2014, and really that long?

Yep, really that long ago!

It is truly amazing that a little site started by some college students has turned into a global phenomenon.

It is, I bet they didnt know how big it would get, did you hear about the promotion Buger King had on the site?

I can't remember.
What was the promotion about?

if you unfriended 10 friends you would  get a free Whooper burger

That would be cool!

i would unfriend people for a free burger!

That reminds me of Germany.

There is a state in Germany that makes the like button illegal.

Yeah, I know I would too, Facebook has a big influence, I wonder why the like button is illegal over there.

I don't know.

It seems kind of rude to make it illegal to like something.

You know, facebook is worth $104 billion dollars.

Maybe they should by the state and change the laws lol!

I agree lol, that would be a good idea, and $104 billion no kidding!

thats a lot of money!


Hello,  did you know mcdonalds added a drive thu in 1975?

I thought it was before 1975.

I figured that people had cars and there was a problem with parking.

I think it was to accommodate soliders

Oh, that makes sense.

i guess the soldiers had some rule about going into restaurants?

I think they couldnt get out of their cars while wearing fatigues.

That makes sense.

i dont think that rules still applies though.

i see troops in their fatigues.

Yeah i dont think so either.
Lucky for us the drive thru stayed lol

Yes, it is an institution in the US.
we dont have to ever leave our cars.
we can be immobile our whole lives.

lol we are lazy americans

we have adapted to the new environment.

the car, the radio, the facebook.

we will live out of lives and know nothing else.

Did you know it is legal in south africa to equip your car with a flame trower?

I guess if I could afford it i would get one.

it sounds effective, and fun!

LOL

lol I would get one if I lived in a place that snowed lol

Yes, clear the roads fast!

You could hire out your services to melt snow.

Thats true,  I could start a business!

You could have a whole fleet of flamethrowing cadillacs.

Clear the roads in style!

Cadillacs?
I guess that would be cool

Yes, why not use the best for flamethrowers?

no reason to be cheap.

you'll get tons of business

I was thinking subarus,  those arent cheap,  I need awd as well lol

Ok, you might want cheaper vehicles for discount services.

Anyway, great chat!

Nice chatting with you,  have a goood one.


Hello my friend!
Do you watch TV?

Sure, when I get the chance.
How about you?
I really like the Simpsons.

Same here, when I have time I enjoy cozing up with a coffee and watch something.

I enjoyed watching the Simpsons aswell especially when I was younger Did you know that when south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew?

Wonder what that was about!

Who is your favorite character?

Bart is mine and he is in every episode except for one.

Bart for sure, but I think I like his sister Lisa, she was funny and feisty.

Yeah.

Maggie is cute.

As a kid I stopped watching the Simpsons because I thought it was unrealistic that they never grow up.

Haha.

LOL, I know I started to catch on that too haha Pokemon was another popular one, I was a 90's baby and Pokemon was in pretty hard.

Did you know there are over 750 episodes of Pokemon?

Yeah, I did watch Pokemon for a while.

That is a lot of episodes!

I also used to watch Thomas the Tank Engine a lot but when I was a toddler.

HAHA, I remember!

How about Mr Rogers!!

Oh the childhood memories flooding in.

I didnt know that Alec Baldwin was one of the narrators in Thomas the Tank engine!

That is so funny!
And Ringo Starr as well!

Thats right!

so many good shows!

do you like the 70's show?

I Love!

the UK tried to remake it but was cancelled after 10 episodes.

Yeah, it probably would not be the same thing in UK English especially if made verbatim.

True!

Im gonna have to look up verbatim... haha,

I just can't imagine all the jokes translating into UK English since they made it word for word.

That makes sense!

Otherwise, I think they would of Love it, I mean, who doesnt Love Fez?

Yeah, in the original he sure is funny, but not sure who they picked for his role in the UK!

Do you watch most tv on your actual tv or your phone?

Your right!

Didnt think about the new fez...

I watch it on my TV I have a smart TV which I Love, Im mostly on YOUtube or Netflix.

We sure have come a long way since black and white TV's in a short time!

Yeah, you're right!

I usually watch on my laptop but ometimes I'm on the go and I watch on my iPhone.

The iPhone hasmore computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent.

Wow!

Thats crazy power!

The telefone has sure come a long way aswell in such a short time, I had a rotary phone growing up!

I think my parents have it somewhere.

Yeah, I had one too though I think it was past its time and my parents were just too cheap to upgrade.

I loved dialing on it!

LOL, Thats awesome!

well remember all fashions come back!

dont forget the skinny Jeans!

LOL anyway, Fun chatting with you, take care!


Hey did you hear that new song on the radio today?

What is it called?

Did you know that there is a website that you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio drama free?

Closer by Halsey and yeah we have come a long way from soldiers making radios from razorblades and a pencil.

You are right, but that was ingenious!

Jupiter has radio storms really strong and you can hear them on am radio.

Even if you could hear them you'd still have to listen to canadian music in Canada because they require 40% of the music played there to be canadian.

Wow!

Do you go on Facebook?

They had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people you get a free whopper.

I don't use Facebook too often but that Whopper sure sounds good on a ride home in my car.

Facebook is mostly blue because Zuckerburg is red-green colorblind

Didn't Myspace turn down an offer to buy Facebook back in 2005?

Yes, for $75 million I bet they regret that.

Facebook is weird I heard you can't use the like button over in Germany because it's illegal.

That is very odd.

Iceland even decided to use Facebook to rewrite their constitution.

That sounds risky.

Yeah I think I'm going to move to South Africa at least I can put a flame-thrower on my car there!

Wow, sounds impressive!

Did you know that McDonald's added their drive-thru to accomodate soldiers not allowed to leave their cars wearing their fatigues?

Of course I knew that but bet you didn't know the trunk of a car is called that because old cars use to have actual wooden trunks on the back.

How about those Caddy's?

The Cadillac was named after a French explorer Antoine de la mothe and he had founded Detroit!

Caddy's are cool but what about beating 90,000 people in the game Gran Turismo to become a professional race car driver?

I think that would be fun :)  On a tragic note, how sad it was that a girl who recognized gun violence in her neighborhood and wrote about it actually became a victim to it.

Yeah I heard about that she got killed by a stray bullet, it's awful man.

Her mother was so sad, she said that her chest felt like a boulder is smashing down on her heart.

What a wonderful girl her teen must have been.

So sad...

Yeah I will catch you later man going to go put money in the GoFundMe.


Radios are very interesting, Do you listen to the radio much anymore?

not really everything's digital now.
you?

In the car we still have an old school radio.

Did you know that Jupiter has radio storms so intense that you can hear them on an AM radio?

That's deep.

There is also a radio station that translates solar activity, which means you can listen to the sun?

I was not aware of that one.

I wonder what that sounds like.

Apparently you can make a rudimentary radio with very little.

Soldiers in WWII made them with a razorblade and a pencil.

Wow!

Apparently Bing Crosby was prolific in his time.

he filled more than half of radio time allocated in 1948

Wow!

I knew he was big but that's insane.

I also find it crazy that by law 40% of the music played on Canadian radio must be Canadian.

What a strange law.

I think they wanted to preserve their culture in doing so.

I get that.

I wonder how lopsided it was that they had to make a law?

There is a website where you can listen to old radio dramas for free.

Those were huge before TV.

I wonder if they hold up now?

Yeah i remember an old radio drama called the shadow later made into a movie with alec baldwin

I remember that movie coming out but I never watched it.

Did you happen to own an original Nintendo?

I did sega too!

times certainly have changed.

did you know its illegal to warm up your car in Ohio?

Huh?

They must not enforce that.

I live in Ohio and we all do.

The winters are freezing and I don't know what we would do if we didn't.

I know it's like j-walking, they need to find other ways to entertain themselves.

I guess so.
Do you like Bill Nye?

Don't have anything against him.
that's the Science guy right?

Yes.

I always liked him.

I was shocked to learn that he got his break because he won a Steve Martin look alike contest!

I don't think he looks anything like him.

Me either.
I like Steve Martin.
Bill Murray as well.
He voiced the human torch in the 70's

I absolutely adore Bill Murray.

I also find it hilarious that Ronald Reagan lost out on a movie role once because they didn't think he had a presidential look.

How ironic.

Right!

one of the most popular radio shows if you can believe it was by a ventriloquist.

I was not aware of that.

Those always creeped me out to be honest.


Hi, how are you doing this evening?

Great!

Hope you're doing well!

Did you hear about Jonathan Bennet ambushing police in Charlotte?

That was an intense situation!

I did not hear about that.
What happened?

The police were searching for him as he was wanted as a murder suspect.

He found the cops one night and ambushed them.

But in the end, after more than a dozen bullets flew, Bennet was fatally shot!

Why would he ambush cops?
It seems that he got what he deserved.
Had the cops done something to him?

They were hunting him because he murdered his girlfriend in the presence of their 3 year old daughter.

So terribly sad.

I heard about it over the radio.

Do you like listening to the radio?

I don't listen to the radio now much.
I used to when I was young.
Now i use the Internet.
You?

I still enjoy listening to it.

I like to break out the old AM radio sometimes to see if I can listen to Jupiter's radio storms.

Sometimes they're strong enough to hear from an AM radio.

I wonder if they're really interesting to listen to.

Better than talk shows on the radio?

Maybe.

They are very interesting indeed!

Hey, at least we're not listening to Canadian radio where 40% is required by law to be Canadian music.

It's like how would they even know what music is Canadian and what isn't?

I think the criterion is whether at least one of the group members has Canadian citizenship.

True.

Either way, the radio is great entertainment.

Speaking of entertainment, I remember being entertained by the original Nintendo Entertainment System and the 54 colors it could only display!

Ha!

The NES was basic, but it had good games.

And plenty of longevity too.

That system was around for along time.

I bet they sold millions of systems.

Indeed they did.

It was truly a great form of entertainment.

Mucj better than what Caeser said about the British when he visited in 50bc: They bred chickens for entertainment instead of food.

I'll take the original Nintendo over that any day!

Ha!

But perhaps chickens have more than 54 colors.

LOL.

The NES lasted until 2003.

That's longer that I expected.

Ha!

Agreed!

Almost as unexpected as an entertainment executive telling Ronald Reagan one time that he didn't think he had that presidential look.

That was an epic fail on that executive's part!

I guess at the time the presidents looked quite different.

Maybe they looked like Bill Nye.

And Bill Nye became famous because he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest.

How weird?

Ha!

He could be made to look presidential perhaps.

A Trump lookalike contest?

Maybe so!

You never know, right?

Heck, maybe someone can even be made to look like the founder of Detroit, French explorer Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac who Cadillac also named their brand after!

Never knew that!
Anyway, thanks for the chat!
Have a good evening!

Its wild, isn't it?

Speaking of Cadillacs and cars, the trunk of your car is actually called a trunk because older cars had wooden trunks on the back of them!

Well, I enjoyed chatting with you!

Take care!


Hi there do you know that Jupiter has radio storms

Radios falling from the sky?
Sounds terrifying!
LOL.
I know what you mean.
I did not know that.

no we can just hear them in am radio..  its too strong

I bet they sound better than a lot of the caterwauling they call music these days.

soldiers had t make radios using razor blades during world war to hear music

Was that to hear music?

I thought they would listen to the enemy and such.

I guess they needed to have fun too though.

they named it foxhole radios  it has a pencil and a blade

That's a perfect name.

I can imagine it easily.

Did they have to listen to local music though?

ITs beacuse of soldiers drive thru was invented by MC Donalds Looks like many inventions are built for army later used for people in general

According to canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be canadian.

I figure troops in foxholes have to do the same.

LOL

Fiinnish radio has a latin newa show.. not sure how Finns know Latin .

I guess there are a lot of poindexters there that love dead languages.

Maybe they got nothing to do in Finland.

Do you know that car was first patented under name Benz patent Motorwagen

Every carmaker in the world owes it all to Benz.

A genius company.

yes Karl Benz was a great inventor that to in 1886 wow

Did he put flamethrowers on the cars back then?

no i guess its just South African evolution

There must be some serious problems if they need flamethrowers.

I would like to see one of them cars in action.

yeah would be a good adventure to be in one such car

I would love to take one to the drive-thru.

They won't mess up your order then.

LOL

It was good chatting with you


did you know that at most about 63 percent of people end up voting in a USA presidential election?

The US has a terrible turnout for elections.

One of these days there might be some ugly consequences when people don't vote.

yes I agree, what is strange is that in 2012, international election observers weren't allowed to view the polling in 9 states, I wonder what was going on

Elections will need to change.

I don't know what can be done.

It's interesting that the taller candidate has won 75% of the time.

Maybe basketball players should run for office?

haha that is a good point, they do need to change but I don't think we should do what they did in ancient athens, aka using a random lottery to appoint officials

Elections have led to an oligarchy in the US.

It's interesting.

I wonder how much better a randomly selected president would be.

haha that is a good idea, I wish we could do that experiment actually, I do like in Nevada that there is an option to vote for none of the candidates instead of letting people make in uninformed decision

I like that option.

Often we don't like anyone, and want to lodge a protest vote.

I would rather have everyone show up to the polls and vote that way.

Then politicians would take the people seriously.

yes, what I didn't know was that Trump wouldn't be in the top 3 most wealthy US Presidents list, I wonder if this is adjusted for inflation?

It must be.

I know that Washington and Jefferson owned a lot of land.

JFK's family made their money from running alcohol during Prohibition.

ah yes I remember reading that, also crazy that the white house guest house is bigger than the actual White House itself!

Crazy

Trump has not put the Trump sign on the guest house, though I guess he could put it up on AirBNB.

haha, what would be wild is if Trump released 3 pop albums like the President of Indonesia did, now that would be a wild thing

The president of Indonesia probably required radio stations to play the tunes.

Trump could play his pop songs at his rallies.

He could team up with Kanye West.

haha that's true they seem to be getting along, what is crazy is if we still used the old rule of the runner up becoming the vice president, can you imagine president trump with a vice president hillary clinton?

I don't think that would work out very well.

What I can't figure out is why the first president of the country Zimbabwe wanted to be called President Banana, just doesn't sound like a cool name haha

I bet he LOVED that name.

That is just the name that people would give the president of an African country.

I wonder whether observers get blocked from the polls in African countries.

that's a good question, and I wonder if he were the taller candidate between everyone that was running?

that would fit with the statistic that the taller person wins more often in these races

I wonder whether that stat applies to women.

I would imagine that women are evaluated differently than men.

that is a great question, I think they need to do more research on this subject or look at winning politicians in other countries


hi, do you vote regularly?

Hi, yes I do tend to vote pretty regularly, did you vote in the previous election?

yes, I did for sure.

do you know how elections worked in ancient athens?

No, how did those elections work?

Actually, I didn't even know they had elections back then!

well, it was not much of an election, it was by lottery

Oh, at least that's a bit less confusing than the current electoral college system.

Some people find it confusing that even when a candidate wins the popular vote, they don't actually end up being president like some countries do.

yeah, exactly.

did you know in Nevada they have an option for 'none of these candidates' ?

I wonder if people make any side notes to those ballots if they're upset with their choices, but since 1900, it has been the taller candidate to win the presidential election at least 75% of the time!

i wonder if there is any association there.

sadly though, not many of us seem to hit the polls.

we have yet to breach 63%

That is pretty low, do you think it's because of the way the election is set up that people don't vote because they know that their district will turn out either Democratic or Republican despite their one little vote, it wouldn't sway the election

Yeah.

Do you know who the wealthiest presidents are?

No, but if I had to take a guess, I'd say Trump isn't on that list but rather Kennedy, Bush?

Am I close?

It was washington, jfk, and jefferson

I got one right haha.

Do you know what made them the wealthiest presidents?

I think considering inflation they are richer but also I bet they owned a lot of land

Yeah, I wonder if they still own the land!

Wonder what President Trump's nickname is called, does he have one like the President of Zimbabwe does, he's called President Banana

I wonder if that means anything in their language.

Yeah, not sure but probably makes the president seem less far reaching and more people friendly.

Yeah I bet.

and the president of indonesia is a pop star

I wonder if they force citizens to support his albums, but maybe its because of that campaign tactic, the president won that election.

I wonder too.
nice chatting with you


Are you comfortable talking about politics?

Yes, a discussion on politics is fine with me.

What do you think about the election system?

I think the election system is about as effective as it could possibly be.

I sort of wish we could go back to how it was prior to 1805, though.

Do you think the US should make voting mandatory?

Attendance is abysmally low

No.

But I do think we should go back to the way it was prior to 1805.

How was it like then?

The Vice President was elected a lot differently, they were the second highest vote for the Presidential race.

Well I think that is interesting, but I wouldn't want both trump and hillary to be in the highest elected positions of power

Do you know who the richest three American Presidents have been?

I think Washington was one.

Yes, the other two were Jefferson and JFK.

Hmm jefferson I understand, but never thought of jfk that way

Well, here's another fun fact for you -- since 1900, the taller candidate for President has won 3/4 of the time.

Maybe appearance does matter

I'm sure it does, usually the better looking candidate wins, don't you think?

Except for Zimbabwe's first President, that is, President Banana.

Personally I am sad that the only candidates were trump and hillary during the last election.

The election for president shouldn't about appearances or who would be less worse

You're correct about voter turnout, by the way.

In the last 100 years, the turnout has never surpassed 62.8% of eligible voters.

I think the third party tends to empower weaker candidates times, too, though.

It is a shame that a 3rd party has never won in US history, though it has come very close before

I'm curious about elections in Nevada because they alone have a "none of these candidates" option when voting for President.

I wish I had that option, though I wonder what would happen if everyone voted for none of these candidates and it was a tie between reps

Right!

Good thing Nevada is the only state that has that on their voting ballots.

Well, it's been fun talking to you.

The same to you.
Thanks for chatting.


hey did you know that Donald Trump wouldn't make the list of the top 3 most wealthy presidents?

Oh, no way!

That's a wild fact and I did not know that.

I follow the politics in America and like to be aware of current events.

The migrants have been in the news a lot lately.

ah ya I've seen that, I know my friend said they are getting cases of mumps and polio again in the south because the migrants haven't been vaccinated

Oh my goodness!

That is super scary as a mother.

I can not imagine how they feel.

I know the journey to America is dangerous and difficult for the mothers and children.

ya that is what I've heard as well, do you think Trump will release a pop album like the president of indonesia did?

haha

Oh, well I sure hope so!

I think the song would be called MAGA.

I know many of the migrants actually thought that Trump lost the election.

They only hear from word of mouth.

ah interesting, and ya Trump is friends with Kanye so who knows maybe they can do a duet, that would definitely make the news haha

Trump and Kim are releasing prisoners so who knows what will happen next.

They are good people overall and just want to help Americans.

I like how Trump supports the military too!

Yup I like that as well, and I would like to see North Korea come out with negotiations to denuclearize that would be excellent, also crazy did you know the white house guest house is bigger than the actual white house?

Ya know I totally believe that because I visited Washington DC and stood in front of the White House and was surprised a how small it is.

ya the last time I was there I was back in middle school, that was a long time ago, have you been there recently?

Is it still worth going

I was there about 9 years ago and really loved the visit.

I was amazed at the America history and all of the memorials.

It is an awesome place and believe everyone should visit at least once.

ha well I guess I should go again, also would be crazy if we still had the old rules, where the runner up became VP, we would have president trump and VP Hillary, imagine the drama!

That would be a funny night terror!

I think I would hope for ancient athens elections, where they picked the winner by a lottery.

ya that would be wild, have you ever heard of the president of zimbabwe?

I guess his nickname was president banana, don't know if he liked that or not haha

That's awesome!

He has the same  nickname as my daughter Hannah.

She loves it so he probably does too.

HA.

haha I could see that, why is her nickname president banana btw?

how did that come about

Oh, wait.

Drop the Pres.

part.

HA.

She is the baby of the family and acts like a princess of somewhere.

If we were in Nevada we could vote, none of the above, by the way.

Just a fun fact.

oh ok I was gonna say haha, I do like that it prevents people from making uninformed votes, do you think Democrats should run a basketball player in 2020?

Apparently the taller candidate wins in american politics 75% of the time haha

Oh geez!

More craziness and I don't know if it worse now or then.

I might start voting or checking the box, "none of these".

That is a solid choice.

ya that could be a solid choice, I think it's crazy that the highest voter turnout percentage is about 63

Yeah, get out the vote was a good way to inspire young voters but more needs to happen.

The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow.


What do you think about the tweet the Russian Embassy posted?

It is kind of fun.
Emoji of a space ship and some photo.
Not serious at all.
Twitter is not meant to be serious.

Yeah I guess Twitter is informal but it can have serious repercussions still.

There are a lot of reasons for a helicopter to be around DC.

The DC police had one up for a possible robbery.

I guess it could be real event taken the wrong way.

Serious it is.

It seems a bit too unrealistic to me lol like a Tom Clancy novel.

Yes, like a novel.

Did you know that the Russian Foreign Ministry put a april fools joke on the answering machines... Press 3 to request election interference.

Thats a good one.

It didnt sound like the Russian foreign ministry is full of surprises,

Oh Russians, always having fun.

Not like in the US where a cat named Hank was running in the Virginia Senate Election.

He got third.

Thats too bad I was cheering for Hank, probably would have done a better job than most politicians.

The cat would have been cool!

It is a odd thing how how we pick elected officials.

Apparently the faster blinking person has lost every presidential election since 1980.

I bet thats a signal our subconcious picks up, you know that the Iphone has more computing power than the us nuclear icbm detterrent all combined!

I wonder how that can be.

It is no small feat to hit a moving target with a missile.

Let alone a few hundred targets.

I belive the Iphone thing.

There is little correlation between cellphone call quality and the bars of service.

I know I would have thought it required something a lot more powerful than an Iphone and I wonder why is that

I do not know.

Perhaps that rule that says computing power doubles and cost halves very year.

I have a fun piece of trivia about phones.

The dial phone was created because an business thought the operators were routing calls to competitors.

Oh how interesting, I have one for you too, do you know why the area code of New York is 212?

I would guess that the early idea was numbers like 313, 414.

NY was first, so 212.

In 1930's an actress helped invent cell phone wifi and gps.

way to go Hedy Lamarr.

No, the correct answer is because it was the fastest number to dial back when rotary phones were used.

Well, that sounds reasonable.
No idea why or how such things happen.
Kind of like the Hedy bit of trivia.

Yeah I guess its just  because of coincidences of life, kind of like why the guest house of the current president can be bigger then the White House.

The white house has some thick walls.

Ha.

Lincoln was the first president to have a photo taken for inauguration.

Want to know the freaky part?

Yes please tell me, I am intrigued!

In that Lincoln photo was John Wilkes Booth.

Always a bad sign when you have three names.

Oh, I bet Lincoln didnt know the guy next to him was going to eventually kill him.


Hello My friend!

Did you know that the Presidents house guest is bigger than the white house?!

I can only imagine what the Presidents house must look like based on that fact!

Geez.

My house if probably the size of their bathroom.

Yeah, that must be big.

And the White House is mostly office space -- I wonder how big the actual living quarters are.

Right?!

Yes and apparantly the wealthiest presidents in american history were jfk, washington and jefferson!

I wonder if that's old information -- I'll bet Trump is at the top of the list now.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I wish I could say I'm extremely surprised nine states blocked election observers, but given the history of irregularities and vote suppression I'm not all that surprised.

Isn't that the truth!

So much has changed since the 1900's, the taller candidate has won the us presidential election 75% of the time... which now that I'm thinking about it I think Trump was slightly taller than Hillary.

LOL.

I wish we could get turnout higher than 62%.

But turnout in last year's midterm was as high as most presidential years, so at least that was something.

interesting, did you know that Nevada is the only state to have "none of these candidates" voting option for elections?

thats pretty cool!

Yeah, I wonder what happens if a majority vote for that option -- do they have to have a new election?

That would be interesting to see...

Especially this last election I'm sure this would have made a difference and our world would be slightly different... maybe it is in a different dimension lol

Yeah, just passing the measure to reenfranchise felons in Florida may have been enough to tip them over to being a permanent blue state in future elections.

I vote and agree we need to figure things out in a diferent way, Offials in Ancient Anthens were appointed by lottery because they beleived elections would lead to oligarchy which makes sense to think that, they have a good point but not sure how that would work here

I'd like to see a lot more decisions decentralized to local direct democracies.

I agree!

and I beleive we are capable of change.

I mean people have been revolutionizing this world for ages an iphone for instance has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm detterent

Yeah.

And the efficiency increases for physical production aren't as high as Moore's Law, but still huge.

Even though I'm worried about climate change, I'm hopeful we'll pass the energy tipping point a lot faster than people expect.

Me too, so many things happening around us right now.

Its unbelievable to be alive and present during all these changes our world and us as a whole are going through

Same.

Solar is becoming cheaper compared to fossil fuels so rapidly that when it's time for a generational power generation replacement, I wouldn't be at all be surprised if we went to mostly solar and wind in just a few years.

Whatever is best for the environment I am in!

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

I wonder what caused them to make that particular connection?

I not sure but isnt it interesting how a telephone can convert sound, typically and most efficiantly human voice into electronic signals that are transmitted via cables... its truly fascinating if you really think about it.

Yeah, it was an amazing idea to come up with.

Nice chatting with you!


Hello!
Do you like to watch tv?

Yes.

You?

I used to watch the Simpson and how that mentions or shows the character Bart in all but one episode.

That's pretty interesting!
Did you ever watch pokemon?

No.

Maybe my kids.

I understand that there are over 750 episodes.

I watched it growing up, it was pretty popular in the early 2000s.

I believe it was supposed to have ended some time ago.

Did you watch the 70's Show?

They tried it in the UK and it was cancelled after 10 episodes.

Interesting, I have watched it.

I think they tried to make an 80s show too and it flopped.

An 80's show?

Speaking or TV, I can't believe Hugh Laurie makes $700K per episode for House.

Yeah, that's an insane amount.

I read he limped with different legs throughout the show and no one noticed.

Ha.

That's funny.

It's also funny that Michael Caine became an actor because there were cute girls in the drama class

Jim carrey doesn't make dramas anymore because of it his positive belief system.

He seems like a pretty happy, positive guy.

He's better at being goofy anyway.

I may go back in time and listed to classic radio dramas on the internet.

Sounds like an interesting concept.

Jon hamm taught drama to Ellie kemper from the Office in high school.

I'm trying to figure out who Jon Hamm is...

I didn't know drama is considered a genre in poetry...

He is best known for his role in Mad men.

Do you like basket ball?

Not really...

I prefer football.

The highest paid state employees in 39 of 50 states are football and basketball coaches.

Glad we have our priorities straight...

Yeah, seems excessive.

The inventor of basket ball is the only losing coach in uni of Kansas's history.

He should have invented some different rules.

I can't believe the Supreme Court Building has a basketball court on top.

No wonder it takes forever to get a ruling.

The new zealand basketball team are nicknamed the tall blacks.

I'm not sure how to feel about that.

There would be demonstrators and lawsuits in the crazy USA.

Yeah, were a little lawsuit crazy here.
Well, it's been nice chatting with you!

Thanks for the chat.

Have a good night!


Did you know an iphone has more computing power than the entire nuclear icbm deterrent

No i didn't know that!

You would think will all that computing power Iphones would suck a lot less.

Maybe you can do a UNicef donation challenge if you ever owned an iphone.

That challenge would be really easy for me, because i hardly ever use my cell phone, I hate talking on the phone.

Thats good.

all the electric signals that are sent from cell phones probably arent to good for us

Yeah I see a lot of women carry there phones in their bras, and that just seems a quick way to get breast cancer.

My wife does this and I have been trying to get her to stop.

How do you think a lottery election would work in todays age?

I think it would be chaos.

There are far to many people I disagree with in this country for a lottery election to work, the country would decline faster than it already is with Trump at the helm.

We have to do something different though.

Voter turnout hasnt breached 62.8% in the last 100 years.

Thats a problem

Your right about that.

I think getting rid of the electoral college would be a good start, and on top of that we need to make election day a federal holiday.

If all else fails make voting mandatory.

Even having an option like Nevada does.

"none of these candidates" could have an effect

There is also a few states now that no longer celebrate Columbus day and instead have replaced it with voting day, which is a great idea.

True

Did you know New Yorks area cods is 212 because it was the fastest numbers to dial on a rotary phone?

Are rotaries still a thing?

I would love to see some of the kids today try and use one

No I am pretty sure they are no longer in use, today kids wouldn't know what to do with one of those since it doesn't have a screen attached.

Even phone books have become obsolete.

Did you know its impossible to separate two of them if their pages overlap?

Well I am ok with phone books going away, it is a lot of wasted paper.

There are 650,000 tons of phone books distributed yearly, and its just a waste.

Thats a crazy amount.
I hope they get recycled

From what i have read a lot of them are recycled but more are thrown in the trash.

It was nice talking to you, have a good day.

you as well thanks


Hey there did you follow the most recent election?

What do you think about choosing a president through just a lottery system?

I think it is a terrible idea, but i'm not too political to be honest.

Yep I think it's bad to.

Apparently that's how they did stuff in ancient Athens though.

It just doesn't seem very smart to me

Interesting, have you ever used a rotary phone?

Yes my grandma used to have one actually.

They were very old and very hard to use in my opinion haha.

It would take forever to dial a number, do you know the story on why New York's area code is212?

I had one growing up, but I would think 0 woulbe be the fastest?

You would think that, or you would think 111 would be even faster.

Do you know about the cable that connects the USA to England by the way?

I'm not sure, just dialing 0 seems pretty quick, right?

Yeah you're right, but I think they wanted the area code to be three numbers so I don't know how you would dial 0 0 0 haha.

Do you have an iPhone or an Android by the way

Hilarious!

Did you know the president of Indonesia released 3 albums while in office, and one was called "Screw the President?"

No I didn't know that.

Are those actually good songs?

I'm wondering if he made a lot of money from them?

I do know that he's not one of the richest presidents of all time

I made up the last part, but yeah, he made 3 albums!

Haha Oh I thought you had some hidden knowledge LOL.

Do you have any knowledge on why Trump is not one of the top three richest Presidents by the way

I think it is because they can't actually verify his wealth, but I could be wrong.

He ain't poor, let's put it that way.

Yep I agree with you there.

How often do you use a telephone by the way?

I know that I use my cell phone all the time, sometimes I check it literally all day long

I use it a lot, but the cell version.

I agree.

Do you have a Android or a iPhone by the way?

And iPhone has more power than the entire US nuclear missile deterrent system apparently, Androids are probably similar

Ipone, ....I can believe it.

We need to update our ICBM, or is it IMDB?

Get it!

Hahaha

Haha I like that!

What do you think about the cable that connects the USA to Europe?

It connects our internet and also our telephone service, it's only 3 in thick!

What if a shark eats it LOL

I think it is totally awesome!

Without that how could we bail those clowns out of starting another world war?

Didn't they start 2 already?

Freaking clowns....so much for european sophistication...

Haha that's a good point.

What do you think about UNICEF donating clean water for every minute you don't use your cell phone?

I certainly don't use mine 24 hours a day, so I guess I should be doing that to help people


Hello, how are you?
Do you like the president?

Hey how are you?

So we're going to get political eh?

I don't like the current President.

Not that I would have liked Hillary Clinton either.

How about yourself?

I do not have much choice about the topic.

The president comes up, and we must chat about the president or we get the spanking and then the gas.

I don't want the gas again.

Thanks.

Perhaps a different person for President?

In 2020?

I hope so.

I have no idea who.

I'd prefer somebody that not's a Democrat or Republican.

I would like a different party too but it is too much to hope for.

I think that elections are made simple to trick people into choosing what is not in their best interest

I agree.

I think that goes for politics in general.

Did you know Nevada is the only state to have a "none of these candidates" voting option for presidential elections?

I think that choice should be on every ballet.

I would run as a candidate named "none of these candidates" and then I would get elected.

Haha.

I would like to see what percentage of that state picks that option.

Probably increases every election cycle.

I think that people want to register their discontent.

They don't know what to do.

How can we get good people to run?

You have to get money out of politics.

I don't know if we'll ever see that happen.

I also think it would great if more people with scientific backgrounds ran.

Scientists usually have little interest in politics.

Too messy and illogical.

Corrupt.

Difficult to reason through.

Yeah.

Although we did get Dr. Ben Carson lol.

I guess that the types of person with a background that makes it through

I wish there were some way to change these things.

Did you know that Trump is not the richest president?

I actually think that's incorrect.

Unfortunately, Trump is the richest president in my opinion.

I think that the amount must be adjusted for inflation and such.

I do not know how much money Trump has though.

Well Washington and Jefferson for example, I think even at their peak wealth when adjusted for inflation is less than Trump.

Then Jefferson died broke and Washington died in debt after their presidencies.

I guess after their presidencies they might have had less.

But I think it would be during the presidency.

JFK got money from his dad.

Yeah the Kennedy's got rich from Prohibition.

I'm pretty sure the family money came from bootlegging.

I could be wrong on this.

I think you are right.
Joe K. ran the rum.
JFK got the privilege.
Anyway great chat, amigo!

JFK certainly did get the privilege, as did the rest of the family.

Nice chatting with you.

Nice chat!

Take care!


Do you own a telephone?

A cell phone but not a landline - how about you

I used to have a landline growing up, it was a rotary.

Guess what the fastest number to dial was?

What was it?

212, crazy, guess what city?

Oh new york area code.

I'm glad we have upgraded to cell phones since then

Yeah,me too.

Did you know an iphone has more computing power than our Nuke deterrent?

That's pretty crazy.

Also crazy that the cables carrying phone/internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor

I can believe it.

As crazy as it sounds, it also sounds pretty freaking cool.

Yeah - I'm surprised it works so well with cables just laying in the ocean

Yeah, well I read about how they laid oil lines across the English Channel for WW2, so I'm not that surprised.

In fact, if you trade currencies they call the the USD/GBP exchange rate "The Cable" for that exact reason (there is a cable on the ocean floor).

That's pretty cool - I never knew any of that

Yeah, so if you watch CNBC and they reference the "Cable."

that is what they are talking about.

Cool.

Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child for every minute you don't use your cell phone!

Interesting, how do they track that though?

I'm not sure - it isn't something I have looked into.

You probably have to register your phone or download an app I would guess.

Yeah, that is what I'm thinking as well.

Have you ever tried to separate 2 phonebooks that have overlapped pages?

apparently it is impossible

Yup, it isn't true.

Yeah I don't see how it would be.

Me either.
I tested it.
Well, nice chatting with you!

You too- have a nice day

Take it easy!


Hey did you know Trump isn't the wealthiest president ever?

I did not.
Who was the welathiest then?

JFK, Washington, and Jefferson

Huh.

I would have never guessed that.

Navada is the only state with "none of these candidates" on the ballot.

Seems weird.

Seems like a good option to me.

Apparently the taller candidate usually wins, like 75% of the time when running for president.

Perhaps Nevada should just have a box for "tallest candidate" and make it easier.

That would make it easier.

And as a 6'6" person, I would probably win so I am all for it!

You have my vote.

In Athens they would appoint some officials by lottery.

Oh geez, doesn't seem to meritous.
What's next, rock/paper/scissors?

I think it was to prevent an Oligarchy.

Hard to make plans for domination if you have no idea who will be in control.

that's true.

Did you know NYC's area code is 212 because they are lazy?

On an old rotary phone that 212 would be easy to dial.

It pays to be the Big Apple I guess.

did you ever have a rotary phone?

Oh yeah, attached to the wall.

Not much to it.

Now an iPhone has more computing power than our nuclear arsenal.

Yeah!

I used to make mistakes or my finger would fly off the dial and I would get so mad!

Now it probably more than a space shuttle too!

Hah!

I remember being so excited to answer the phone and now Unicef will donate water for every minute you stay OFF your phone.

I would be more than happy to stay off my phone.

The water would be a bonus!

Yeah it would.

I heard the Zimbabwean president was called President Banana.

Perhaps Trump could have a nickname too?

A proper noun and a descriptor, I like it!

I speak English good!

The president of Indonesia has released 3 Pop albums.

Perhaps Trump could do some cool jazz?

Like Clinton.
They could jam together!
I do not think anything could go wrong!

That would be a platinum seller!


I enjoy watching south park reruns on tv.

Have you seen any?

Yeah, I love watching south park.

I also like the simpsons.

I was surprised when Bart was not on one of the episodes.

Oh really, I had no idea.

I know Daniel Radcliffe voiced edward cullen on The Simpsons episode Tree House Of Horror xxi.

I did not know that.
Do you watch tv often?

Every once in awhile.
I like dramas.
Do you?

I do.
Do you consider House as drama?

Yeah, I've seen house a few times.

Laurie made $700,000 per episode playing Dr. House.

Wow, that is crazy!

Patrick Stewart teaches drama classes in the UK.

I am not familiar with him.
Was he in a tv series?

He is mainly in Star Trek, but I have mainly watched him in X-men and American Dad.

I see.

Other than watching TV, do you like to play basketball?

I never really played, but I do enjoy watching.

What about you?

I play a bit just for fun.

Do you know that the dunk was banned from college basketball for more than a decade?

Wow, how come?

Because Kareem abdul-jabbar dominated the games too much using the shot.

It was considered unfair.

That's crazy.

Fun fact, vasectomies increase during march madness!

What was the reason for that?
It sounded interesting.

So that men can stay home and watch basketball for a few days!

That was a silly excuse.

I was surprised to know that football and basketball coaches are the highest-paid state employees in 39 states.

That is surprising!

Also, Basketball was invented at the YMCA.

I did not know that.
Thank you for the info.
I have got to run now.
It was nice chatting with you.


Do you know Tom Brady was once a backup quarterback on his high school football team?

I did; Eli Manning is a QB that need to go back to the bench

I beg to differ with you on that.

He is a good player and is part of football dynasty.

Are you glad that playoffs are here for the NFL

Yes, I am, bring on the superbowl..LOL

Its only a couple weeks away; who do you want to win?

It doesn't matter, my team the Jaguars didn't even make the playoffs this year: (

I am enjoying the QB from the Chiefs play so well

That's cool, I think one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time is Tom Brady.

You are absolutely right there.
He is the GOAT

Greatest of all time, couldn't agree more with you on that.

Do you know how many superbowls he's won?

I think about four; I would like to see him win a 5th this year

Yeah, he's won 4, I'd like to see him get at least one more.

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

Yeah that is frustrating.

I seem to be forced to watch more ads than gameplay

How true, at least the superbowl will have some good ads..lol When do you think they'll let the first woman into the NFL?

I hope soon, I would like to see a female kicker at least

Yeah, me too.

That's probably the first position they'll let a female play.

No contact, maybe.

Do you know Eli Manning has a genius level IQ?

He sure doesn't play like it.

OBJ seems to have a low IQ too sometimes

Man, what you got against my man, Eli.
You all beefing or something?
He's a genius, him and his brother.
LOL

I would agree that his brother is a genius for sure.

Eli should watch more of his gamefilm

Ok, we can agree to disagree, it's been nice talking to you.


Do you like football?

I actually enjoy the food and tailgating, not the game itself lol

Yeah, I'm not such a big fan either.
But I am looking forward to Superbowl.

I feel the commercials aren't even good enough anymore.

Did you know Kiss bought into an arena football team and offered a contract to Tim Tebow?

I did not know that.

We really love our football.

14 of the world's largest stadiums are belonging to american college football teams.

Yes, we do.

One time I heard that the American Flags cost $50k each.

The amount of cash invested into The NFL is obscene.

Although I do find it amusing Iowa's visitor's locker room is all pink.

and football wasn't always that popular.

Bowling stars used to make twice as much as football stars

I wonder what will be popular in the next 50 years in terms of sports and even communication methods.

New york's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone - Kids today don't even know what a rotary phone is!

iphones have completely revolutionized the industry.

An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.

iPhones are overrated in my opinion, and the ability to actually socialize is being lost.

That is true.

For every minute you don't use your cell phone, Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need.

While some people may need to be prompted to put their phones down, it's equally disturbing UNICEF isn't automatically doing what they allegedly do with funds.

That's true.
Do you still use the phonebook?

No, I do not.

I haven't had a landline since 1996 yet phone books are indeed still delivered.

I'll have to test the notion that it's impossible to separate two phonebooks that simply have their pages overlapped together.

Maybe there's a YouTube video I can fish up on that?

That seems it would be annoying if there really was a page that you wanted to see.

The phone book was "the" source of info not that long ago.

Yes, I remember using the phone book.

Kids these days might wonder why they are necessary.

My kids certainly don't have a clue haha.

They are extremely familiar with the ocean though, and I told them the comm cables are 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the bottom of the ocean floor.

That got more of a reaction than anything.

That is interesting!

I wonder what would happen if those lines got destroyed.

That would be incredibly disasterous for many people however, I would relish in having just a few days of silence :) I've started turning my cell phone off the moment I leave work and it's odd to hear people say, "I tried to call you!"

only to hear it was over something that was trivial and is old news by the next morning.

I have my notifications off on my applications so I only check them when necessary.

I figure if it's important, people will call.


Its good to see Peterson doing so well again for the Redskins

Yes third straigh victory

I hope the shoulder doesn't affect his play

Yeah.
What about Trent Williams?
He played with a dislocated thumb.

I would think it might be harder to play with a shoulder injury than a thumb injury

Well, yes.

Any injury when trying to play would not be fun in my book.

Do you think Peterson can lead the Redskins into the playoffs with Smith out with a broken leg?

I don't know.

Being without the quaterback they're used to could throw things off for them.

The Redskins are on the edge right now so I'm not sure Peterson is the answer.

The Giants on the other hand are just horrible this year.

Yeah.
What do you think of Eli Manning?

I think its time for him to retire or turn the ball over to another qb

haha He'd be okay being he has a "geinus-level" IQ.

He is far from a genious in my book.

Yeah, not my words, just what I've heard.

Eli has made way too many "bad" decisions with the ball this year in my opinion.

I have watched several of their games this year.

Yeah.

What do you suppose his dad and brother think of how he's been doing?

I'm sure they are trying to help as much as they can.

I heard Payton has been sitting down with him and going over game film.

Makes sense.

Who do you think was the best of the Manning clan?

Definitely Payton!

Hopefully Eli can learn from him then haha

Happy Holidays!


Hi, do  you watch football

Yes, football is my favorite sport.

My favorite team is the new York giants, do you like football?

Did you know that circular huddle was created for a deaf quarterback so the other team could not read the quarterback's hand signals

No I didn't know, that is great information, thanks for sharing.

Did you know the quarterback is usually the leader of the offensive team?

Yeah, they are the most important players of the team.

Did you know that Kellan Moor is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl

really?

i didn't know about it but thank for letting me know i like to know everything about football.

do you know the NFL is one of the four major professional sports league in north America?

Yes, it is one of them, and it is the most favorite, according to the pool

yeah personally it is my favorite.

I want to say something about my favorite quarterback, do you know that his first name is Elisha ?

who is it, and which team does he plays for

he is a quarterback from New York giants.

he has a brother playing in the NFL too, his name is Peyton manning.

Eli and Peyton manning father's was also a quarterback in the nfl he was great player

Ohh, I see.

I know him.

I do not know if he is still an active player.

Btw, do you know the quarterback Alex Smith of the  Redskin

yeah he is still active.

That's why my favorite team is the new York giants because I'd love to be their quarterback.

Yes Alex smith took so many ap test in high schoo,l he entered University as a junior.

the quarterback received his bachelor's degree in two years and began working on a master's degree

Alex Smith is a brilliant person.

too bad he suffered a horrible injury recently

yes he is a great example for everyone in this country.

do you think the nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements

I find this fact confusing because football is a violent game, and people assume women need to be protected more, which may or may not be true.

The juniperro Serra high school jv football team recorded a historically bad season in which they failed to win a game or even score touchdown yet they never attempted to start their backup quarterback.

I concur.

Also, there are only 11 minutes of gametime in a nfl game

oh yes i know that.

i want to know more about this beautiful game.

do you know the circular huddle used in todays american footballs was created by paul d. hubbard, a deaf quarterback.

so the other team could not read his hand signals

That fact is very fascinating to know, and it is very effective while the game is playing

yes I know that so true.

I really hope you watch a Eli manning game one day, he is a genius

nice chatting with you.
Have a happy holiday

nice chatting with you too.

have a great day with your family and have fun watching Monday night football

bye

bye


Hi!
Do you follow football?

I sometimes follow football.
It is an interesting game.
You?

Sometimes, if my team is in it.
They havent been recently though.

I try to watch the big games like the Super Bowl.

Same here, I missed it this year though.

The Patriots won... again...

I usually root for the underdog.

I guess the underdog did not win this year.

Same here.

Did you know the Eagles had a temporary court set up in their stadium because of their fans poor behavior?

People getting bent out of shape over a game.

They are passionate.
It is like a religion.
It is played on Sundays.
It is a substitute for politics.

It is.

Tom Brady even has his own method the TB12.

It is like his religion.

I guess that every great player is asked to start his own religion.

He certainly must have a number of followers.

There are some people who consider him a Messiah.

Going a bit far for my opinion.

I agree.

He is just a football player.

There is no need to worship him.

There are plenty of other deities around.

did you know Kiss bought an arena football team and offered a contract to Tebow?

KISS probably wanted to cash in on the football craze.

For a while LA didn't have a team.

I don't know how much money KISS made.

Neither do I , I dont know how popular arena football is anymore.

I dont hear much about it.

I think that the NFL has expanded so that other leagues cannot take the fans away.

Longer season, more teams.

True.

People tend to be loyal fans, even when their team is bad.

That is also true.

NFL is older than other leagues, so the fans have been following longer.

Very true, I know my family has rooted for the Dolphins forever, no matter how bad they are.

They were great back in the 70s.
Now, not so much.
Their time will come again though.
Anyway, great chat!

You too!
Have a good day!


Are you a fan of football?

hi how are you?

yes, i like football.

i dont get much chance to watch it these days,

I watch it every Sunday when it is in season.

I usually watch the super bowl, sometimes the playoffs.

I did not see the SB this year though.

I saw it.
It was fairly boring to be honest.

Yeah, i heard the last quarter was interesting.

the SB last year was better.

a big comeback.

Yeah, I didn't follow it too closely to be honest.

LOL

What do you think of U of Iowas little stunt with the locker room?

I think it is absurd, I doubt it works.

Pink might help a bit, but if it really worked, everyone would do it.

Yeah, I doubt it works.

Did you know in the 60s bowlers could make as much as football players?

I missed my chance.

i was born too late.

i could have been a bowling contender LOL

Hilarious.

Yeah, I'm not very good, but that would have been cool to have been able to try.

Yeah, i really dont know how much money twice as much is, because football was still not well developed then.

still, a good salary for throwing a ball.

Yeah, that is sure.

Did you know Kiss bought an arena football team?

I heard that they wanted to bring football to LA again.

I wonder how they did with that venture.

Probably not very good.

I can't imagine arena football catching on.

Yeah, it just isnt the same.

people know the regular game and they want those players.

not some knock off.

Exactly, sometimes they do have some washed up NFLers.

I think TO played in arena at some point.

Well, nice chatting with you!

Yes, I had a great time chatting!

Me too!
Have a good evening!


Hello.

There are many football teams and many more football players.

Do you like football?

I love football, how about you?

I know a little about it.

There are guys that kick a ball around and hit each other.

Lol, that is basically all!

Do you have a favorite team of the 32 in the NFL?

I do not have a particularly specific one.

I like teams what can win me money.

Which one is good for that/

For sure!

I love betting.

Never bet on Eli Manning anymore, he is out of his prime!

I wouldnt even shake hands with the guy now.

He still owes me money.

LOL I suppose hes a good enough guy.

I should be kind.

lol!

he made me money when he beat brady for that first super bowl.

Did you know his first name is Elisha!

Thats a biblical name if I ever heard one.

He must have a bunch of brothers with names just like that.

For sure, they were southern boys.
Apparently Eli has a genius level IQ

Does he have a really big head?

Often times thats what accounts for the IQ level.

A big hat size means a whopper of an intellect.

I don't think so otherwise Peyton would be a genius x1000!

lol

He has an enormous skull?
He must be brainily gifted then.

Ha probably why he is a quarterback, you need to be smart for that

I guess I could never be quarterback.
Maybe half of what he is.
Eighth back?

Lol, me neither.

Alex Smith was really smart and started college his junior year of high school, and  then became the #1 pick in the NFL draft!

I reckon that Alex is almost as smart as Elijah Manning.

Is his head as big?

Ha, I think normal sized if I remember correctly.

Just a smart dude.

I don't think all qb are smart though.

You're probably right.

They cant all be super smart.

Then they could start their own football league and get rich or something.

Some of them must be average in skull size.

I agree, I am alright in my career and my head size lol.

Good chatting with you!

I enjoyed the chat.

I wish I had a big sized head so as I could play QB.

I'll stick to 8th back.

me too, bye!


Hello, are you a fan of American football?

I do not know very much but from the little I do, I enjoy it.

I really like learning fun facts like Eli Manning has a genius level IQ.

He's a pretty good QB.

They are the leaders of the offensive team and often call plays in huddle.

I know mostly about quarterbacks.

I was surprised to find out there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL.

Really, that's surprising.

Did you know the huddle was created by a deaf quarterback so the opposing team couldn't read his hand signals?

That is very interesting.

It's good that huddles are so effective.

We may not know what is going on inside a huddle but NFL does know every move on the field from tracking chips inside shoulder pads.

That is pretty amazing.

I didn't realize that the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live game play.

On TV it feels like they last forever.

It certainly is not the fastest moving game.

Neither is baseball.

There is a quarterback that is still under control with MLB despite not playing a game since 2011.

I think it is cool that girls can actually play in the nfl as long as they meet league eligibility requirements.

That is great to know.

That anyone can be involved.

There is even a coach who is a rocket scientist.

True, though the fact that the NO Saints' cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurants as nfl players seems a bit odd to me.

What's going on in New Orleans?

That is odd.

Some things can be improved.

Like the fact that only 2 African-American quarterbacks have won the Superbowl.

That number seems very low.

Sure does seem low.

Going back to Manning, did you know his dad Archie was also a NFL quarterback?

I didn't but I did know of his brother Peyton and there is one other brother Cooper.

And they are/were all QB's?
They must love the game.

I found out that Cooper had to quit football before his college career due to spinal stenosis.

Who knows how great he could have been.

Wow, they actually changed the speed limits on some roads at Ole Miss campus to honor Archie and Eli.

That is pretty cool.

It is funny how they always say after the Super Bowl "I'm going to Disney World."

They get paid to say it but I would say it for free because I love it there so much!

Funny!
Does Disney pay them?

Disney pays them $30,000!

Holy cow!
Hey, nice chatting.


Hi are you a fan of Eli Manning?

I can't say that I am.

His career is fascinating, although I don't know much about football.

Looks like Manning's career has been up and down.

Yes it has.
His full first name is Elisha.
That's different.

That is a unique name.
He was the 1st draft pick in 2004.
He was drafted by the Chargers.
I didn't even know that was a team...

lol Yes...they used to be in San Diego.
Eli has a genius level IQ.

I bet he earned hat with the best tutors since his Dad was also a NFL Quartback.

Yes!

In the last 20 years of the NFL draft only 3 of those taken number 1 overall have won a super bowl - Peyton and Eli Manning and David Carr.

Incredible.

Imagine that siblings rivalry.

I am blown away by Eli Manning facts.

He started in 210 straight games starting in 2004.

Can you imagine the punishment his body took in that time?

He took a beating.

He's still playing though!

The NFL is using tracking chips embedded in the players shoulder pads and in the footballs to record data.

I think they are starting to collect data on the toll the hits take.

It's probably what lead to his decline in 2016.

He fumbled 11 times that year.

His last few season have been rough.

The NFL has no written rule against female players.

I think we will see one soon...maybe as a kicker?

A kicker would be the only position they would probably allow.

There's no female baseball players either.

That surprises me really in baseball.

An average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

Kind of short for a game they stretch out to 3 hours.

That's 169 minutes of replays and commercials.

The lifetime earnings of an NFL or Baseball player is less than an engineer.

I guess the career isn't as lucrative as I thought.

Still a lot of pay for 11 minutes LOL!

True!

Baker Mayfield, who is the current Cleveland Browns QB, almost quit football to pursue a full time competitive gaming career.

That would have been a risky financial move I  would think.

I would love to do competitive gaming!

With the success of twitch, he should have switched.

He probably would have made more money.

Apparently he was a boss at Halo 3.

lol Is there that much money to be made doing it?

I think Ninja and other big players like Sypher and Dr. Lupo, make millions each month.

Just from tips and subscribers.

Did you know the circular huddle used in football was created by a deaf quarterback?

Wow.
I had no idea they made that much.
Was that a guy named Paul Hubbard?
It's been fun chatting by the way!

Yes it was.

They did it so the teammates could read his ASL on the field.

That means the team had to learn sign language.

And likewise, thank you.

Hope you have a great day and thanks again!


How's it going, Do you watch football much?

Alex Smith of the Redskins is good at avoiding turnovers

I don't follow football much.
Who is Alex Smith?

He is a QB for the washington Redskins who replaced Kirk Cousins when he left

Ok, don't really not the Redskins.

I guess this guy is a phenom or something?

He's good but not great, he did have a 3-0 edge in turnovers against the Panthers

The Panthers are the team to beat?
Are they good in turnovers?

Not exactly the team but their qb Smith is

Oh, ok. Is Eli Manning any good?
Is he famous?

Eli was ok for quite a few seasons but this year he's not having a good year

Oh, well.

I guess we all get old.

He has been in the league for a while, yes?

Yea like 15 years, he was drafted in 2004

Wow.That's a long career.
Maybe he should retire?

Yea it's probably a good time, his brother Peyton retired a couple years ago

Ok.

It runs in the family.

Probably time to leave if the clock has run down.

Yea Eli has won 2 super bowls and was a first round draft pick, he had a great career

Don't stay past your time.
Leave while you're on top.
Enjoy the feeling of being a winner.

Yea, he's not playing as good as the fourth round pick of the same draft Philip Rivers currently

Well, that's his cue.
Time to take a bow, and exit left.

Yep, maybe Eli should just spend more time with his father Archie Manning now

Good suggestion.

Always spend time with family when possible.

Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


hi, do you watch football?

I do, my team is in the AFC, what about yours?

I do not have a favorite team but just watch the games sometimes.

did you know women can technically play?

I didnt know that I did know about the sexist rule the Saints have, it just makes me sick

Me too, I find the worst part to be the one when they might be mid meal and have to leave

Yeah thats really unfair, football is a beautiful game but that angers me, just like theres only 11 minutes of actual game play, all those ads make me angry

Yeah and we are glued to the tv for hours to and end and in the end it is 11 minutes

Yeah, I agree, NFL has tracking chips on their players

Yeah I guess that makes it more convenient for them to track their movement

Its unbelievable how tech affects sports, the football also has a chip and all kinds of cools stats are recovered from them

yeah.
do you know who kellan moore is?

Yeah he used to be a QB in the Cowboys, now he runs the offensive plays, why do you ask?

he is also the only QB that is lefthanded

Interesting so no other lefties on the league!!

I wonder why is that, do you know who Baker Mayfield is?

Actually I do not think I know him

Ok so he is a QB and he once considered quitting football and pursuing a career in the video game business..

Wow, well good that he stuck to football because it worked great for him

Yeah Im guessing it did, football players earn a lot of money so yeah,

Yeah, how about eli manning, do you know him?

Yeah his a great QB he has a genius level IQ so that's impressive.

That is so amazing.
Nice chat :)


Do you watch football?

Hello - yes, I love football.
What about you?

Me TOO!

Did you know the average game has only 11 minutes of actual gameplay?

That's just crazy.

They need to come up with a better way to speed the games up instead of them lasting 3 hours.

Yeah, they do.

It is mostly just watching people stand around on the sidelines and commercials.

Haha yea pretty much.

Did you know Baker Mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue competitive video gaming?

No, I'm not even that familiar with who he is.

What game was he good at?

It said Halo was one of the games he's good at.

Wow, I've never played that.

I suppose he could have had a great Twitch account then.

Some of those people make really good money.

Oh yea I heard some make a ton of money.

Alex Smith took so many AP tests in high school that he entered college as a junior.

Wow, did he end up getting his masters early?

Not sure on that one.

Did you know the NFL has no written rule against female players?

Interesting.

There were  a few female kickers when I played high school at other schools.

I remember there being some female kickers back when I was in high school as well.

Yeah, there was a female kicker in Ace Ventura, right?

Yep I believe so.

Been a long time since I've seen that movie.

Hilarious.

Did you know Eli Mannings first name is Elisha?

Haha I did not know that, but that's an odd name for a guy.

Yeah, he is a good QB though.
Apparently he has a genius level-iq.

I've heard that as well.
I think he has 2 super bowl wins.

Yeah, I watched at least one of them.

Why do you suppose the NFL puts tracking chips in players shoulder pads?

Not sure on that, but very interesting.


do you know much about politics?

A fair amount.

I'm a freelance writer and write mainly on political topics.

How about you?

Nice.

I know some stuff like how the president since 1853 has either been a republican or a democrat

Yeah, the Republican Party took the place of the Whig Party after it collapsed.

Yeah.

Did you know that Reagan actually campaigned for democrats and railed againts high corporate profits?

I'd definitely like some background context for that, LOL.

I guess he was really against that and also for low wages too

That would be my guess, but I'm curious to nail down exactly when he complained about corporate profits.

Oh I am afraid I do not have all the details there.

Do you know when the use red and blue colors started by both parties?

I remember all the drama over the election map in 2000 and how "Blue States" and "Red States" caught on, and journalists stuck with that assignment from then on.

I think they used red and blue before that, but switched the assignment every four years.

Yeah always fun when the elections come around.

On another topic, do you listen to the radio at all?

Not much, because the radio stopped working in my truck and I live in a place that's a radio dead zone except for one Top 40 station.

I listen to a lot of music on YouTube.

How about you?

Oh that is nice then.

Yes I listen to the radio.

Apparently you can catch Jupiter's storms in AM radio

I wonder what they sound like?

I should see if there's a recording online.

Maybe there is.

DO you know how soldiers made foxhole radios during WWII?

Not until just now.

That sounds very creative -- like a MacGuyver trick.

Yeah it was creative, they used razorblades and pencils to make them

Did you ever try to make a crystal radio?

I got a kit for Christmas once when I was a kid but couldn't put it together so it would work.

I have not but it sounds like fun.
DO you ever listen to radio dramas?

My brother-in-law is a radio nostalgia fan and I've listened to some old recordings from his collection.

What I really like are the comedies, like Lum &Abner.

Ever heard of them?

I have not but maybe it is time I check them out.

So nice chatting with you.


Hello, do you watch the NFL?

Hi, yes I do.
Did you know what women can play too?

yeah as long as they meet the requirements.

Pretty cool  hope to see that happen soon

Me too.

Did you know engineers make more than the players?

Yeah that is pretty neat but I guess it makes sense since they have longer careers

Yeah that is a good point.

The average game play is only 11 minutes so I guess they still get paid a lot for that time

Very true, so short and yet we are glued to the tv for so long waiting for the game to end

Haha so true.

Did yiu hear about them using tracking chips on the players?

Yeah they are tracking velocity and speed and such.

Hope they can use that to make the game safer

I hope so too.

that would be neat.

Did you hear about that rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?

That is sexist and needs to go.
Why cannot they eat in the same place?

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

That just does not sound right.

Do you know who invented the circular huddle?

Yeah it is a pretty cool story, it was Paul Hubbard who was deaf and invented it so the other team would not be able to tell what he was saying

Yeah it is pretty cool.
Do you now who Alex Smith is?

For sure, the guy finished college in two hears and had an amazing football career

That is true, he planned ahead, took many ap tests in high school

And Baker Mayfield considered quitting football to become a competitive player

Well good he stuck with football though.

He still claims to be really good at Halo 3

Yeah and that he can beat anyone at U of Oklahoma at it

Yes, talk about self confidence.
Maybe he is that good


Hello, Do you listen to the radio much?

I listen to the radio when I commute.

Amazingly simple tech that uses a conductor and transforms into audio!

That's good, makes the time go by faster... Did you know that the am radio can pick up Jupiter's radio storms?

Those are strong storms considering how far Jupiter is away.

Very true!!

Would you be interested in listening to classic radio drama?

I hear there is a website that allows people to listen to thousands for free!

Yes, I would like to try it!

I'm not sure how long I could stay on it though?

Soldiers in WW2 used pencils and razorblades to make radios.

Wow, that's impressive!!

Not only are they true hero's but very smart too!

I think they called them foxhole radios, very cool!

In Canada, there is a law requiring 40 percent Canadian content!

I'm not surprised with that!

I bet they play such a variety of music, have to give effort to the locals.

A finnish station broadcasts news in classical latin!

Yes, I've heard of that, isn't that a weekly program?

I didn't know that the tea party was 15% democrats?

Interesting

Republicans was the majority then I guess.

Yeah, for sure!!

Did you know there hasn't been a president that wasn't  a democrat or republican since 1853?

Fox threatened to sue the simpsons for being anti democratic ha

Really, I didn't know that?
Free speech is so important!
!

I agree.

Did you know the red and blue colors has only been around since 2000?

I find that surprising!

I thought it was before 2000?

I would think that date would less than 19 years ago!

I think maybe consistently used since 2000.

Did you know Reagan campaigned for Democrats rallying against corporate profits and low wages?

Yes, I can remember that time well!

PBS has a new series coming out called, "First Freedom", should be good!

Yes, thanks for the reminder.
Nice talking to you!

You too, Good chat!
!

Good Night


Have you ever heard of Eli Manning?

Yeah, quarterback for the NY Giants?

Yeah!

Did you know that his first name is really Elisha?

I've never heard a football quarterback with that name!

That's an interesting name.

Never heard of that (or form of that) for a guy.

His dad was in the NFL too right?

Archie I think?

Yes, and he's also got an older brother Peyton Manning who was also a NFL quarterback.

Cool family, right?

Yeah!

Peyton's considered by many to be one of the greatest passers ever!

Plus, Eli is not only a great quarterback, but I hear he's got an IQ considered to be genius.

Must be interesting at family gatherings huh?

Wonder if they have a sister?

Did you know the NFL has no written rule against female players?

Would've been interesting to see a female Manning in the NFL

That would be great!

Their family is so great that a Mississippi campus has speed limits representing Archie and Eli's numbers.

That's funny!

Do you know if Archie was also a quarterback?

Can you imagine 3 men in a household, all used to calling the shots?

Yes, all quarterbacks, I can't imagine!

lol  Football can have some weird rules.

I hear cheerleaders of New Or Saints must leave a restaurant if the football players show up.

That seems pretty rude!

Wonder how they enforce that.

I heard the NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads for stats.

Maybe they use one off the field to track them as wel!

That's a lot of tracking.

I wonder how much memory it takes just to track all the moves in one football game?

Maybe not so much.

Heard that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

Actually that's more than I watch of the Super Bowl.

Ha!

Yes, it seems like during any NFL game on TV there is much more time spent on commercials than actual game-play.

Then they favor players on coverage.

I'm sure the Mannings have gotten a lot of coverage.

I know Peyton's been in the Super Bowl.

Do you know if Eli was as well?

I'm not sure but they're from the south I think.

That's where a pretty funny Adam Sandler football movie takes place, too.

Was that the Longest Yard?

Liked the original that starred Burt Reynolds.

Was Adam Sandler the quarterback in the movie?

Vaguely remember him being on the offensive line.

That's a good movie, too.

But I was thinking of Waterboy.

I think there are quite a few football movies out, but I'm not sure if there is one about the actual NFL?

Ah Waterboy!

That's right.

"You can do it!"

There must be a movie about the actual NFL.

The NFL's 17-week regular season should provide enough fodder for a Hollywood script!

Well, the Mannings spent time in California where all the movies area made.

Too bad they didn't do a star quarterback football movie that's so bad it's good..like the "Sharknado" movies.


HEY!
Do you know who Adrian Peterson is?

Of course...For several years, he was the best RB in NFL.

Not a big football fan but just found out he played for the Washington Redskins

Sports can reflect real life.

His is a veteran who shows young players how to deal with things when nothing goes right.

Thats soo cool!

Love when ppl use their platforms to help others

He says Famine, Famine, Feast!

Yup!

Did you know that Eli manning has a genius IQ!

Yes.

He and his brother Peyton have a Superbowl Ring.

Alex Smith another QB skipped his freshman year in college and still got his bachelors in 2 years!

DANG!

I would have never known.

I'm super shocked to find out that Eli real name is Elisha.

And Peyton's brother's name lol.

cool!

And their father who also played quarterback was named Archie.

Did you know that there is a road dedicated to Archie and the speed limit is 18mph same as Archie jersey's number.

That is kinda fast to drive on a school campus lol.

Guess that is why they changed it to 10mph to honor Eli and prevent accidents haha.

lol.

Are there any female NFL players?

Apparently there arent any rules against women in the NFL.

No but there are female refs and coaches now.

Maybe one day.

Idk....from a woman's perspective....it all seem to dangerous.

Yeah, maybe getting tackled by 280lbs of pure muscle running 20 mph is not healthy for anyone.

At least there is really only 11 minutes or real gameplay in a game.

11 mins or not...I'll pass.lol Also the lifetime earning of an engineer is higher than that  of an NFL player.

Yeah, the average span of an NFL career is only 3-4 years and that is a rookie contract.

If they can make it to 5th year is when they get paid.

wow!!
such a ripoff.lol


hi, do you know much about politics?

No, not really, I know about the president and vice President.

I have heard about affordable care act.

Yeah I feel that is so important and we really need it.

do you know who the 3 wealthiest us presidents are?

Yes, I think I do, JFK, Washington, I forgot the third president.

That would be jefferson.
Nice :)

Would you believe this that donald Trump is the wealthiest president and Lincoln was one of the poorest.

Yeah , I guess we have to take inflation into consideration

Yes you are right.

Lincoln was the first President to be photographed for his inauguration.

Oh did not know that.

did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house

Yes I did, do you happen to know what state the guest house is located?

I have lived in DC, but I have never seen the guest house.

I really do not know and I wonder how many guests they get for it to be that big

Wow, I wonder the same thing, last year I think when Clemson beat Alabama in college football, the team had dinner at the white house or guest house and Trump gave them fast food, when they were expecting a meal.

I do not find that very appropriate of him.

DId you know the president of indonesia is a pop star?

No I didn't know that, did you know how he became a star?

Did he starred in a movie?

I have no idea.

I guess he was a music artist before becoming a president, do not know the details though

No i don't but I will read upon it.

Ronald reagan was a republican and end up a democrat.

Same with Hillary clinton, she was a republican in college

You are right, did you fully understand how the affordable care act?

affordable care act was expensive to have for most people.

I still do not know the whole details about it.

do you know much?

I know that it started by president Obama.

Trump and the Republican attempt to dismantle it.

The payment cost more than most people regular Insurance plan.

oh wow, did not know that.
DO you listen to the radio?

I once had my personal plan and search into that program to see if I can get my payment cheaper and the rest I read it in the past.

It was nice chatting with you.
