Jackson Hole, RV Power Issues, and Stream Glitches
Adam Curry broadcasts from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while traveling in an Airstream trailer on the "I Love Laundry Tour." Technical difficulties involving a failed power inverter and low battery voltage forced the use of a running car engine as a makeshift generator. Curry also addresses audio glitches from the previous episode caused by a software crash and corrupted recording files.

00:00 Start over, worst show ever. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Act. It's Thursday September 24th 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 759-er This is no agenda Running the air stream of consciousness in full autonomous mode on the I Love Laundry Tour and broadcasting live from the home of the world elites in Jackson Hole Wyoming In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley I expected you to be in Colorado I'm John C. DeVore Act Well, you know we have a website John it's very clear when running in full autonomous mode on battery power. It's unbelievable Jackson Hole is one of the prettiest towns in the United States and actually the town is named Jackson The Valley is Jackson hole that's the difference well The difference is those mountains yeah So it's called Jackson
00:58 Let me start off. I'm going to Jackson, is that the song? That's Frank Sinatra Jr., or Nancy Sinatra. Or Johnny Cash. Who? I'm going to Jackson yeah but maybe it is. Yeah no, Nancy Sinatra, I'm going to Jackson... So here's what's going on we drove eight and a half hours yesterday from Boulder. Who's we? Tina the Keeper and I Oh she was in the group. Yes she joined in Denver well do reverse it will reverse engineer that let you know how And we decided, actually with tour producer Angela Castaneda who has been amazing and I don't use that word lightly. She checked all the cell connections etc and found that it would be best for us to stop in Jackson So we got in late last night We hooked up, had a reservation and then realized this is crazy RV parks have a checkout time
01:59 Can't you get late checkout? No, no that's the problem. They have a check out time of 11am. They can accommodate as a checkout? No because it is chock full here they have a soccer team arriving today at eleven so now we're really sorry however if you go over there and park over there by the street So I had to unhook power unhook everything And I really only need one device, the Apollo Universal Audio Device needs about 110 volts. And for some reason we had everything set up and ready to go and then the inverter which turns 12 volt batteries into 110 it crapped out apparently the batteries are down to... let me just turn off this fan hold on The batteries were down to 10.8 volts which is why the inverter crapped out
02:56 So I just hooked up the car to the trailer and have the motor running. It is the most silent but probably most expensive generator ever, ever used on a podcast Hmm and but otherwise we're on the Verizon my five got the internal network all running And it should be okay, and I have a hardware backup recording device just in case yeah well that was needed Yeah apologies for the for the glitches in seven five eight What happened was we had a some kind of catastrophic crash no idea what happens all software is buggy and it Corrupted my recording the first hour of my recording file so Martin JJ. Who's always great at recording the stream He sent that to me which he'd captured, but when the stream rolls out or craps out then It captures that too yeah And but it but then switches to like some jingles and stuff
03:56 Stuff that is a bit you and you can't see it in the waveform so I try to get everything I could but I missed one or two and people are big confused, so That's not how those tweets. Yeah It's a glitch But I knew things were already going wrong last night when we checked in here And they said oh hey here You are you're in slip number 33? That's right So, um... yeah. Anyway we're rolling should be okay and uh- and last night will see a bit especially craps out in the one hour mark you know I'm gonna knock on wood just like the president say no it's not going to but anyway the presidents made out of wood yes exactly you know he did that knock on wood thing No idea I miss that yeah was under the sun saying knock on would he likes this thing you know now in there was Obama was knocking
