2:22:07 This would be the trigger. They'd pull it off just before Trump got in? No, I think you need some time to pull it off The world has to be psy-opted about it We gotta all understand what it means Russia's gotta make a stink then other countries make a sink They would do this somewhere around summer It wouldn't be right before no we need some time for everything...I mean its not gonna collapse overnight Well, yeah. The setup Trump for this is getting more obvious as time goes on That's why Biden is running not Michelle And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the sea in the continental shelf say hello To my friend on the other end the one only mr..

That was cool we got that there's all kinds of trolly business going on and always keeping me on my toes keeping me awake We love or you would love your trolls You can join them by going to TrollRoom.io Or more importantly get a modern podcast app Do you know that almost 50% of the people who listen to this podcast are on a modern podcast app?

You're like what's going on man upload to Apple no no that's their problem Spotify don't let your favorite podcast be de-platformed and you lose them it won't happen with one of those And for that very same reason we are Value For Value I heard you on a value for value podcast yesterday Oh you heard the Grimerica thing? I did! Good for you It was...I wanted to compliment you I thought it was really good appearance I can do good work. Yeah, your sound was weird though it was light it was light well that's their side not me I think I'm not doing this could have put it through some devices on my side didn't know it's gonna sound crappy and you know what the worst part was they're not on they're not on podcasting 2.0 well that's weird yeah I mean I mean there are they're available but they don't have all the features like a dad I gotta hook those guys up
2:25:39 Well, they want you back on. I'm going back on and this was...I was a little surprised because they had me booked for February 18th or 19th I think? And like okay now it's time for me to do it and then all of sudden we got JCD! Oh oh I'm second fiddle here. Well that's possible but if I didn't do it on February 18th-19th No, you did earlier Yeah So yeah so I thought I was the main attraction Oh no, they had to have me on first. I'm the set-up act! I'm like the opener. You get to be like the headliner. The opening act... It was good, I really enjoyed it. It was a good appearance people should listen to that to Grimeirica. Quite interesting. So they are value for value just like we are and you talked a lot about value for value actually with them Yeah i did They wanted to talk about stuff like that And then and you gave them good pointers
2:26:35 I did, I thought. Yeah and you said people just don't want to ask That's always been my argument People don't take it seriously They kind of say if you want to give us some money go ahead there is a tip jar thing idea And that makes your podcast very short lived Yeah, there's nobody gives tips. No you got to lay it out You gotta say hey look we're putting the value out with this is what we do We've got a hound them if you do and people know it's important It's really important now. You didn't talk much about the treasure And the or the time in the talent portion which is really big and we have void zero right now working on upgrading all our servers Which are 10 years old
2:27:25 I didn't even realize how old they were. I love it when he says, the upgrade will be seamless there'll be no disruptions. Yeah! Wow. I love Mark, but every... it's a foregone conclusion you know? It just is what happens and it's okay we understand. It was never seamless! These things are never...I love that guy and he's like yeah be moving something today no no not today! Don't do it on his show day Now, there's so many other things that people do for us. And also we have you know people who help us out with clips and insight you heard some of the boots on the ground and our artists are artists just so wonderful to have
2:28:09 new, fresh art for every single episode. It really gets attention it's a I mean there is no way we could this is the point of Talent and Time but we couldn't afford to have artists do this There just was no way We could not afford it! We also get cool stuff in the PO box I got Mike Riley's gift which is all bunch his books with your blurb on back I also got Texas Hot Glass flute She sent me one of those flutes. Yeah, and I tried to play it. Pretty cool flute looking but if you try playing it? Yeah yeah Phoebe gave me a very weird look she did not like...she wanted me to stop no I got a little bit out of it but not much I'm gonna practice on it I'm gonna practice on it and then I want to thank everybody for somehow now I'm the hero of THOTP
2:29:06 THOTP. I'm the hero of the THOTP community What does that mean? Little House on the Prairie community Oh, yeah you're a big fan now because you've been watching reruns. I'm getting stickers and And you know like fake dollar bills from the Olsons. I mean it's Yeah, it's a very tight-knit community. I had no idea. Well, I love it when you know dear you're their leader I want to be the leader of the little house on the prairie community. So back to the artists, thank you to the artists who are always giving us lots of choices we chose for Dame Kenny Ben who was i believe the leader of the Leaderboard last year for all of 2023 she just came in with a perfect piece which was nice cartoonishly drawn
2:29:56 Airline which of course had to be a Boeing just looking at it and tail number 33 in its and it's called the totally safe airline and its engines are on fire It just it just had all the elements I don't know if there was anything else did we have anything else that we looked at that? We thought was looking now. Let me see love AIR to it was something I remember that was, oh yeah you liked the radio flyer newspaper but it couldn't read the writing on it. Yeah well and I liked it but I didn't vouch for it so that wasn't... Well it wasn't gonna happen because of the print was too small. I thought Scaramunga's Juggies yogurt was funny but also no we're not gonna use that. We already get so much crap about boobs
2:30:48 Yeah, we had the big boob art recently. Yeah let me see... We got a note that I was requested to put on there? Yeah once you yeah there's a note You wanted me to read the boob note All right here it is this is from Lynn Adam and John I enjoy your show I've donated several times I must comment on the boob donation discussion in the last issue oh now It's an issue What I believe the father was trying to say about his daughters was not that they are no longer listening to the show, they're no longer listening to this show capital letters with their father. As a teenage girl... Oh! She's a teenage girl look at we got one of those teenagers We have an unbelievable demo. We do. I can completely understand that when i was young even listening to songs on the radio like Maggie Mae oh she's not a teenager now
2:31:34 When my father was around, it would be embarrassing to hear the song. I could listen to it all night long if I was alone but it was embarrassing to listen too with my father." Since you are both males...I think you missed the point about the girls not wanting to hear the boob discussion with their father present! I think she's right. I think that's a very good point And that's understandable. That's understandable We don't talk about boobs that much No, it's just a boob donation I mean what happened is because of this we've been talking about it because the backlash Because of the controversy Strange The backlash It's a backlash
2:32:11 Thank you very much to Dame Kenny Benn and all of the artists who submitted artwork. We appreciate you so much! Thank you to Sir Paul Couture, who has made the art generated just one snappy piece of code and thank you to everybody who delivers time and talent to the show it is invaluable really this is part of The Secret of why this show has been going. We're now in our 16th year, 16? 17? Is there a 16th year or 17th year? 16th year. We're heading toward our 17th anniversary and the secret is that we don't have high expenses you know we don't have producers that we pay because that would never work it would not last we'd be bought up for one of those bought-up Spotify things where everyone got fired then again
2:33:02 Oh, you'd have been fired. Can you imagine? I mean, I was thinking about this the other day and my talking about yellowing up... Oh yeah! Yeah that was a good one. That was genius. Welker was- I'd be out. You can't say something like that No No, and how many complaints they got about that? None. Zero exactly. Zero. This reminds me of when I was at PC Magazine, I wrote a column called Who's on First and it was HU. It was the Chinese joke. The whole sketch done with Chinese names. Racist! The whole bit was done with Chinese names so it was who is on first... And I don't remember all the names but they're all Chinese names
2:33:52 And she is a good name, the head of Acer at the time. She's on second and it went on like that. Yeah. And so I get goes to one of the editors... So you sent this in to be published and you figured oh they'll do that no problem? No, I figured there might be some pushback. So one of the editors sheepish pushed back and might add, you know this is kind of... don't you think this a little racist? I said, Especially it's about Taiwanese. It's about Chinese have a sense of humor, you know Oh boy. Oh yeah That's even more racist just saying that I said that and I said just let him play You won't get any letters. I guarantee it and he reluctant they ran it like well You know what we got for pushback not nothing so they were just like wow oh
