podcasting 2.0 For April 5 2024, episode 174 were nice and frothy. Well, it's Friday once again time for the board meaning of podcasting. 2.0 everything happening in podcasting. You don't need any other podcast. You don't need pod news weekly review you don't need the new media show. Just kidding. It's a nice little agenda Mr. Ford room the only one that doesn't need an IPO to be public. I'm Adam curry here in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in an Alabama ladies
he's the man that can cook your dinner and do your taxes. Say hello to my friend on the other end the One Only pod sage Mr. De Jones.

For clarity I can do neither one of those things.

Wait a minute. Yeah, you're the tax guy.

No, no, I'm the I'm the guy that helps the guys that do the tax.

Okay, okay. I gotcha. I gotcha. How you doing brother?

I'm good and I cannot believe you made it through that intro without without some kind of crazy thing. Coming out of coming out of whatever audio this whatever rig this thing is. Yeah, it is spewing out all kinds of weird stuff. And I know people were frantically boosting to try to get it to do something weird. Yeah, good luck.

We will explain exactly why as we bring on our guests in a little bit in a few minutes. Also for everyone, so you know, we are fresh. Good. Fresh. Good on the show. Fresh good. Fresh, fresh. Oh,

you got a brand new one. Okay. I

had no idea that I needed to have a fresh Gu ID for the live shows. I this was

this was a new good drop.

New good. This wasn't I didn't know I feel dumb. No, no,

don't don't feel that way. Adam should never feel that way about yourself. valuable. I

didn't realize that it you know, it screws up all kinds of things. downstreams it's crazy it

in, you know, on paper.

It's just like a space before a value block is on paper. It should be a prom, but it really isn't.

It's fine. It's, you know, I mean, like, all this stuff is like that. That's the beauty about right. That's the beauty and beautiful thing about writing a spec, you already know that nobody's going to do half of what you say in the spec. So you write if you if you write that, if you write the spec with that in mind, then you know what to leave out and what not to be hung up about. You're like, you know, I'm gonna put this in there, but they're probably not going to do it anyway. So,

so when so when you're writing up a spec, say maybe you're putting something in into into the GitHub for proposal. Where are you already writing are you so you're already writing down the writing stuff and go like no one's gonna do this is you have that when you're doing

it goes further than that. It's not just nobody's gonna do this. I know exactly. Which ones are not which ones are not going to do. I'm like,

oh, you know, you already know why she won't do it.

I'm like Franco will never do this.

Oh, there you go. Thanks, Franco. Going to keep him

I love you Franca.

So a couple of things up front first of all, I'm very happy very I'm a happy man. This was a great week because I had a day off yesterday I did it was weird. It was and you know, yeah, I had a day off but guess what, you know, Tina's like let's go do some stuff or get some shopping together Main Street and that is an exact replica for voice no new media show Todd and Rob were fighting about video again. It was I felt home Yes. I felt ah there we are. It's good. It's
good to be back home now. Beautiful and beautiful thing I missed you guys. Although dude, that song they have as the opener that's not doing it for me. That's

they this is a fail that just tells

me that AI is is not doing its job which as we know from the Amazon walkout store, there's all bogus anyway. How funny was that story?

What is cheaper than a GPU? Nvidia GPU

1000 Indians

you can get seven or eight Indians for the cost of Nvidia 3950 Yeah,

just if you hadn't seen the story, the Amazon is closing its walk out stores. I guess the the the financials didn't make sense. And as it turns out, and I have no idea why this was disclosed. It's crazy. That it wasn't really some fancy AI that is tracking every product you put into your basket and walk out with no it was 1000 Indians. Which sounds kind of derivative to be quite honest.

Like, are you a racist? No.

Oh, yes, there it is racist. Yeah, no. You mean derogatory? It's like, yeah, all of the above it was 1000 people in India is probably probably

a better way to say it. 1000 Indians? Yeah, just

it just sounds wrong. I mean, it reduces them to I don't know, chips I had just doesn't feel good. It didn't feel right. So, yeah, so the so AI of course, is, is and companies now raising $50 billion you know, to make it all work. Don't worry if we can just raise 50 More billion dollars here are their Don't worry, you'll get your money back. Promise. Yeah,

this. We, we live in an interesting period of time where the, it's the free money train went for so long. That now it's, it's been pretty interesting to watch it fall apart. Because no. Like, there's this psychological thing that happens where when something goes on, when you go into cycles, you know, you it's like, you get it, you get the boom,
and the bust and the boom and the bust. But then if the boom, if the bus never comes for a long time, for maybe 1015 years, and you don't have the bus, then you kind of you forget that there's gonna be a bus. Oh,

you know what I was talking with the Vortech about this who's been around longer than any of us. And so he's seen these cycles come and go. And he's on he's on board with me like this is this is bullcrap. But anyway, when you have this is the third cycle of of AI. Now we had a couple and then we had the AI winter and we will have another AI winter. But he feels that usually when you go through three, three cycles, then it
catches and it will last three to five years. And then you get like a big explosion very similar to the.com bust in 2000. A mega drop. Yeah. Yeah. Which sounds right to me. You know, because it feels about because it's so much money in this and, and all these parlor tricks. Oh, look at this image I created. Oh, look at the song that I created up put it on my podcast is intro music. You know, it's just like, and it and even just the incessant how AI is going to fit into podcasting.

Yeah, like right now. We're not we're not we're not at like full blown. Descent. We're like 20 degrees down bubble.

We were headed 20 degree bubble. I

like that. Yeah, we're like headed down at a slow pace. In the we're in. It's causing all sorts of like weird things to happen. You're getting like, Did you did you see we hadn't really talked about this. I don't think last week. But did you see that kit piece on Andrew Huberman? Yeah, I

don't really. I didn't really I saw it. But I didn't really get I don't really care. It was the New Yorker magazine, I think. Yeah.

And I don't I don't really care. I don't really care that much, either. But I did. I did read it because I saw a couple of references to it. This sounded like it was there might be a couple of intriguing things in there that I generally don't go in for, you know, for just a clear sort of hit pieces. Whether they're true or not, I just don't know does not entertaining to me. But, but I did read it. It is a very long piece. And it's very odd. And what I mean, I don't mean the
content. I mean, like, so this this piece was like, every paragraph took this form. Look at how horrible Andrew Haberman is because here's all these things that a former girlfriend said about him. But we contacted him and his spokesperson said that all of these things are not true.

And so we published it right away.

Dude, every paragraph was, here's what happened. And here's the response from his from from his people. Here's what happened. Here's the response from his people. I've never seen an error like this is weird. And I guess the reason I'm bringing this up is because like, of course like when you get popular you're gonna get targeted and we will I mean this is just a thing. And all the stuff in it may be true.
I mean, what what I want my daughter to date Andrew Haberman No, but I'm just saying that like we live in like this weird Doc's culture where we're trying to like out we're journalism is trying to like get a get the nasty scoop on everybody. And now that the sort of the podcast winner has said in and people aren't making as much money and the and the advertising is like
on a weekly basis showing the bacon pleat fraud. You started to get like a crack gets in the you know, the door gets a crack in it and then the hit pieces just you shove their foot in the door. Yeah, it's been, it's entertaining to watch

what I find. So I'd like to remind everybody of this, you know, the, the idea of growing your show 10,000 downloads, get advertising, but people forget in all this. It's like, it's not like some magic bullet that AI is going to deliver. Or, you know, discovery is going to deliver, you have to have a good product. That's the thing that is rarely discussed without it. I mean, we saw this cycle in blogging. Oh, yeah.
Just start a blog make money. Yeah, no, no, no, you have to build audience and and of course, you know, by found that with podcasting, getting your audience involved. If I was talking to a guy, very interesting guy, he has a regenerative beef based dog treats brand that He's launching. And, as well and I actually met him in Bluffton, Georgia, when I went to a beef initiative, mini meet up, you know, like those Texas slim stuff. And that's a year or so
ago. Yeah, in fact, I did the show from there, I think. And so that's will Harris white oak pastures very well known. A lot of people buy beef from him, he has his own processing plant. And this I met this guy, and he was and he was talking to will and will says, you know, this guy's he's onto something here because they throw a lot of strip meat away. And there's a
lot of stuff that just doesn't isn't sold to humans. And this guy took that and he's processing it as in freeze drying, etc. And he's turning it into hair, very healthy snacks for dogs. And so he he gets through my filters somehow, maybe probably because I met him and he comes out to Fredericksburg, which you know, and he's from Colorado. So he flew to Austin. And he may have had some other meetings, but he
drives us on half drive. So I'll meet with anybody who's really going to drive out to see me. And oh, yeah, before too long is like hey, you know, can you get me to Joe Rogan's? Oh, man, however, as we were talking, I said, you know, man, I have a thought here. Why don't you if there's something about this and this product specifically, and it's a good product, I've tried it on Phoebe, she likes it. And it's healthy. It's his Phoebe approved. I said, What if you turn this on? It's on his head.
Instead of going to podcast buying CPMs you know, all the all the same old tired stuff for buying a network run of network? Why don't you play me? Let

me let me let me guess what I'm what you're gonna say, Okay. Instead of making treats for dogs, you make treats for humans out of dogs?

Damn, that's my next idea. That's a big one. I like that. Yes, it's called Soylent Green for dogs? Exactly. Yes. Yes. No. I said, Why don't you become the Podcast Network? Why not? Why don't you make your brand, the podcast network, and you invite people in. And the whole idea is, it's a social, it's a social thing, where the idea is to have the audience's of these podcasters do stuff to compete. And you know, you can do contests, you can, you know, pretty dog picture, you name it,
and flip it on its head. So you don't have to go for all these huge give me the biggest podcasters that I can and don't buy ad reads. You know, they have, you know, it would be direct inquiry. So you track it. If someone sells product, then great. Give them some stipend to keep them as a part of it and get the get the lower ones that have 5000 people listening, I don't even know if downloads counts, but you have smaller audiences and get a couple 1000 people to buy, buy your product.
And it hasn't been fleshed out yet. But I'm like there's something there. There's something that can change. I've always looked, I'm always looking to change the way advertising is done in podcasting, because what we're doing now, it's a dead end. It's just a dead end. It's not going anywhere. Anyway, so that yeah, that to say that, you know, it's, you have a great product. I think a great product is when you have great interaction with your audience, who I who I like
to call producers for no agenda. In this case, its board members, they're all there in the chat room. You hear the Pew Pew is going on and on and on. I mean, that's literal interaction, literal interaction with the audience. And we'll get to that in a moment because there's reasons for it. But before that,
I would like to make a plea and suggestion. The more I think about what we talked about last week about using the social interact tag as the base layer for activity pub interaction between apps which is a fancy way of saying cross app comments. The more I like it, we could be a decentralized platform, that would be formidable and the only way to,
to you have to participate in order to keep up. Because then all of a sudden, you know, forget the comments part, I just I don't know what to eat, it seems common seems like the easiest to implement, since we've already done a lot of work. And I see it working on podcasts, index.org. Reviews,
five stars likes all this stuff. You know, now you have to go to Spotify, you have to be I guess you can leave a star rating on Spotify or on boron, Apple, you know, that make it make it one in whatever app you're using, and make that immediately ping across all the apps, all the apps can start highlighting things that they see that they see trending based upon the people that are listening to certain podcasts in their app. It's so powerful. I mean, I just I get goosebumps thinking about
how powerful we would be as a group. And literally all you know, the tide lifts all the boats in this case. Now we know Franco will never do it, but I'm just saying.

It's funny ESA, you mentioned that there was a I was having a thought I was just trying to envision over the past few days, what a like a boost verb would look like. And just, it could be anything, it could be a like, or a star rating or whatever. But I was just trying to think of that in my head. What? Because that's an action too. Yeah, I mean, you're not you're not just following you know, you'd follow up podcast you like a podcast.

Although I find that a little confusing to you. I personally prefer to not confuse booster grams with although How about if you just do to boost verb and a streaming verb? Ie I stream 200 sets per minute, or I boosted this amount without the without the comment part. I'm just trying to separate those two because I think that's very confusing.

Yeah, I mean, number one, we need this is this feels so wrong to have a almost it's as such as consistent discussion about activity pub every week without a jingle to didn't delineate where this you know, when we're doing this, and when we're not. We don't have any hot hot activity pub talk jingle, and it's bothering me.

Well, I do I do. I do have this, if it helps.

That does help. Yeah, helps

it it's not exactly what we want. But it helps, it helps. It's close.

It's almost there. It is. So number two, like, I think I chose the boost. In mentally I think I chose boost for that reason, because it's a little confusing, okay, because I was thumbing through this. Yeah. And I was like, well lit. Why watch us the easy stuff like a like, I mean, that's good. We already everybody knows how to do all that already. But what would it? Because if you let me, let me let me kind of reset
here. I guess my thought is, if if we're describing an activity pub vocabulary for things that happen to interact with a when people or bots or whoever interact with a podcast, or even when podcasts interact with other podcasts, if we're describing a vocabulary of specifically verbs? Will you have to think about which ones will and will not work? So which, which of the things we do now, when it comes to podcasts? or do any of those just not work as verbs? And I was like, Okay,
well, what do you what do you do with a podcast? You, you play a podcast, you boost a podcast, you download a podcast, I'm just, I mean, none of these. Some of these don't apply, but I'm just thinking through all of the things that or actions that you do to a podcast. And boost. I'm like, Is that does that work? You know, just kind of sitting through that. I'm like, Well, I don't know. I mean, what would that what would that be?
It's not like you can't send you can't send sets through the message itself, but you could do it all out of band and then send a proof of payment, maybe well, you know, I'm

I want something that everybody can participate in and you don't. Okay, two things. One is confusing. What is a comment? What is a play? What is a boost? I understand what you're saying. But not every app has V four V in it. And I don't want it to seem like, well, I can't really participate because I don't have boosts in my app. And it immediately makes people you know, the detractors go, there.
They are the crypto boys where I would prefer something that everybody gets comments, and we have already done so much work. No,

I totally agree with all this is not. We're not We're not on different sides here. Okay. I guess the only reason I brought it up was because I wanted to, to choose. And you're right. I mean, the the anti crypto stuff gets kicked up every time. But this really was a first thought because I was thinking, do all of these things that we do to podcast? Do these all work as activity pub because I think we need to think through these things. And say, which, which actions in which actions
are actually usable as verbs in an activity pub scenario? We see what I mean, no,

I understand what you're saying. I'm, I'm not looking at from an activity pub scenario. I'm looking at it, what do you want to work on one app that shows up on the other apps? The two things that I can think of are comments and ratings, though, because comments will become reviews kind of by themselves via a review of an episode or review of a show, etc. Just whatever someone comments is always it's always kind of a review, a comment about about that
particular entity, that item. But imagine ratings of Matt, you know, maybe it's just, you know, it's just a five star selection, whatever it is, it's the stuff that people already do. podcasters are already saying, hey, hey, would you please go over to Apple, and please leave me a review and rate the podcast. I mean, this is this is something that people already do and all the other ones. I mean, it literally is this, it's blue sky, man blue sky all the way for this. And here's what I was
thinking just to move it along. The I be happy, I don't know if this helps anybody. But I would be happy to host an if I have to moderate IE, kickoff spammers to set up an instance that the app devs can use. So they wouldn't have to deal with this stuff. For people who don't have. You know, for people who don't, who don't have an account on the, on the fediverse your users who don't have an account, if you need a quick sign up place for
your users. And in essence, you're thinking they never even see that because they're they're looking, they don't even know that it's, you know, what's happening in the background, they just need to surface it in the app, I'm happy to host an instance. You know, you have a separate invite link for your users. So you know, not not everybody would try to keep the junk out of it. Basically. If, if that's something that's
needed to kickstart this, I'm happy to do that. I know a lot about, you know, managing a mastodon instance, if that would help to get it going. I'm happy to do that. I don't know if that makes any sense or not.

Yeah, no, it does, I guess, at this part of me wants to say no, that we shouldn't did that, that we shouldn't do that, because that's kind of a crutch, okay? Because it's easy to just sort of offload some of these things on to other services. And then you end up with you know, with a single point of failure,
and a lot of depend a lot of dependency. And whereas if this thing, if this idea is going to work, in general, and the idea being a marriage of activity, pub and podcast and RSS based podcasting, it really needs to work from the beat from the very beginning, where everybody is doing. Everybody is participating as an actor fully right up within their own, you know, it doesn't mean there can't be helper services that do a look that come along and say, Okay, well, I'm going to use
this service me. Here's, I'm afraid of becoming dependent on us on a central third party service the way that we if we're gonna be dependent upon Alby

I'm with you, I got you. I'm with you in in Yeah. So. So let me say this, then, let me say this about that. If you If, I mean, the main thing that that developers always need, this is what I learned early on, developers always need stuff to be flowing through it. It's very tough. If you know like, I'm gonna build all this great podcast stuff, but there's nothing really out there that's publishing it, which

is why write to a spec in a vacuum. Exactly.

The no agenda show has been publishing socially interact tags, since its inception, almost since its inception. In fact, I think we incepted part of it, every podcast that I do this one as well, but the no agenda show is a big podcast. And, and 1000s 1000s of very active listeners, post comments, when I post the social interact route post, you can see that at podcast index.org, and it
threads beautifully, and it works beautifully. So out of the gate and beyond, I would promote any apps that are doing this, if you if you're putting that in there, you're on high rotation with me.

Oh, high rotation?

Yeah, of course. You know, I will promote the crap out of your apps to make sure that people use it. And I'll say check this out. And you can also see it on that. I mean, I will do everything I can to move this forward. Because it is it is good for everybody. It is something that that the big the so called big players won't be able to participate in. They can't. But it is such a huge, unique selling proposition for
the independent apps. And let's face it, the apps are coming to where we are we've got Pocket Casts now saying that they're going to implement the the chapters.

That was a big Yeah, I was super excited to see them actually doing some movement.

From what I understand pod bean of all pod bean is now implementing value for value with with streaming SATs. This has happened to get people this has happened.

And there's another there's another person that I've been talking to that you know about that we can't really discuss yet that is also doing some pretty cool stuff. We're about to release some pretty cool stuff with chapters. There's Yeah, it's okay Todd there's motion.

But also value for value music is catching on, artists are starting to understand what's happening. They're starting to see payments showing up in their in their wallets. And it says you know, you got this from booster gram ball or homegrown hits and, and they're starting to they don't really understand what's going on. And by the way, thank you Chad F is one of the people who promotes the heck out of that, you know, a lot of these artists are kind of stuck on noster. And
they're like looking for zaps. And they you know, they don't know what's going on. It takes a while to wrap your head around this stuff. And now they're starting to say well wait, hold on a second. This is coming from a musical me he listened to the show, and they're telling other artists exactly the way it should work. This stuff is happening is happening. And now. It's it's a bit by bit and then all of a sudden that you'll see it starts to snowball, and it goes real fast. Particularly
when people start paying attention to the namespace. What else is in there? Developers love this stuff. Oh, what else? What else is in that? In that namespace spec? I know that's how it works. Oh, this cotton This people are publishing content by the hundreds of 1000s Oh, well. Let me add that to our app as well. It's inevitable. So it's all really really good. I
would just like to stay one step ahead. And get everybody ready because most of the activity pub I'm sold on it I mean I am so so it took me a while but I'm so this is this is the way forward. It's beautiful. And I understand it's daunting and it's confusing, but it's worth spending a weekend just diving in and see if you can figure out how it works in your framework in your in your application.

Yeah, we're we're gonna have we're gonna have Sam on and I'm sure you'll have a lot of ideas about this too and then as soon but I just I want there to be I guess the reason I'm thinking this through so much and is that you could end up if you don't if you're not careful, you could end up with like a chair you could end up with like chair pants. Have you seen chair pan?

No. To explain chair pants. Chair

pants are like these stupid pants that are have like a frame built into them where you can just basically at any moment you can just sit down and it becomes

Yes, yes. Okay. No, I think we're gonna have 100,000 of them in Fredericksburg for the Eclipse. Yes.

It's It's like, it's a does it? Does it function? Yes. Is it a good idea? No, it's dumb. Right? So like, there's a, there's this point you get to, I get to this point in the with the activity pub bridge, where I was like, Okay, I was like, alright, alright, I got, what do you want to do you want to follow? Okay, got that. You want to get notified? You know, which is getting notified of new episodes. Alright, guys got that. Am I okay? What else? I don't know.

I could couldn't Oh, no, I think of Oh, yeah, no, I think I think there's plenty. And, you know, it's almost like the hashtag. You know, the hashtag wasn't invented by Twitter. The hashtag was invented by the users of Twitter. Yeah. So these things will present themselves, I think.

Because, because I can think I could think up like 10 or 12 different things in a minute. And they were all like, less goofy. I mean, like, yeah, it would work. But nobody's this is gonna be like this little thing that nobody cares about. And I just don't want a bunch of, I just don't want to bundle a bunch of cheer pants running around the podcast. We're in a 2.0 world where everybody's like, yeah, that's weird.

Well, comments are not weird.

No, no. And then we and we, that already works. Right?

But I still have we're three years later. And I'm still pleading. And I think we've solved most of the issues, the users are there, the moderation is there. The quote unquote, control is there, the infrastructure is there, the infrastructure has been tested. It's been stress tested, more and more. platforms and devices and things are being connected to the fediverse. It's an obvious place for podcasting to be and no one else can do it. But us.

I mean, it's, it's there, he gave some that people just have added developers just got to get to the point where I guess where they ran, where they don't have more important things on their list. And they didn't do that. I guess. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what

defeatist

is, but I don't know what there's nothing else to do. You know, what I mean, with with the comments, like comments is, it's just, it's right there. I can't like we can't make people do it. That's the that's the

thing. Oh, I know, all the tech is there, right. But that's why I'll just keep talking about it. It's the

easiest one, it's the easiest part. Because because it's all you don't there's no you don't have to do new activity pub objects. You don't have to get standard us some new schema. All the comments are just like the ability to post a note object with activity Pub is so simple. There's not even a following that has to happen. I mean, you just posted it's just like so easy in there. Nobody's doing this. I don't know. Well,

there you go. That's it. Well, I was very excited. Now I'm just all depressed.

I just crapped all over everything. I'm sorry.

Okay, these pupils are driving me crazy. We have to explain what's going on there is our guest today is so famous. He basically has a one night he goes by one name like Madonna or prince. He is the prince of podcasting. The Prince of podcasts music ladies and gentlemen. We'd like to welcome to the boardroom. The one the only you've heard of him you've never will have you really heard him his voice my Yeah, but this is the first time in the boardroom. Please say hello to blueberry.

If you want to get really technical it is it's a Sobey blueberry moth man at the mini pocalypse freak of Hazzard in the horror of Yag

now there's a show title for you right there

it wasn't my character limit blueberry was what what what

are you on on ring today? Yeah, why are we hearing all these these sounds and stuff what exactly is going on in the background here?

I'm pretty sure that's coming from Dave if he's got the booth scoreboard open he would need to mute that now it's

me I have it open I have it open but

it's still it's still playing the pews sound because I've got pretty much everything on lockdown except for IR off any tests and stuff like in the in the

back in a me because my stuff can't come back through the streams. No, I'm deficient.

I have I have the scoreboard open here and then I haven't heard any other sounds and the pew pew I don't know. I don't know why should it be should I be getting other sounds?

I don't know how half this stuff works. Okay.

All right. Well, maybe we should tell everybody where to go though if they want to follow along, right? This would

it scoreboard dash beta dash flax dot versal dot app. Is the scoreboard that Eric PP is coded up for us. Why

don't you open up your open up your sounds?

I do have a moment.

All I'm hearing is peers. I'm not hearing the crazy now I'm going to close mine. I'm pretty sure because what's happening what I understand is that the way this is all rigged up, and of course I have blueberry, there you go. That's the first time I heard. Can you lower the level just a little bit though? Oh, yeah, I gotcha. Is, is he has has I don't know who but what's been rigged up is a boosting scoreboard. So imagine you're looking at asteroids or space invaders and you're kind of

like Galaga Galaga was the inspiration for it. So as far as like the star pixels in the background, the red and yellow, cyan and white.

So it's a public. It's a public page that shows who is boosting. If you boost special amounts, it triggers a special sound. Which and I don't know what they are, but we'll hear them as as we move along. And then it so right now it just said Dobie das boosted 5000 SATs from fountain I want to be on the scoreboard. So that just popped up on the screen. And then it goes back to the to the it's like a top score. And the app that apps that have that have been boosted from it's a
beautiful idea. i This is so cool to watch.

Yeah, pretty much just threw together a mock up in Photoshop and send it out to a couple of people to see if there's anybody that'd be willing to get it coded up for us. And we're actually planning on projecting that at the venue tomorrow on the wall. Okay,

so first, tell us a little bit about yourself, man to people to give us your background how you got involved in 2.0 in the music stuff, so we just have so people who are just tuning in don't think what what what have I fallen into?

Ah, well, back in 2010, started going to college for theater. And then graduated, started touring did Disney on Ice for a couple of years works in theme park.

Now were you skating or did you do other things?

No, I was an electrician for the for the tour.

Okay. All right. That would be

a pretty funny sight,

but I don't know. I mean, I think everybody knows. Okay,

I'm finally figuring out what's going on here. IR cacophony is only set up the trigger based off of the behind the schemes feed. So that's why names goat wasn't coming through earlier because he's boosted podcasting. 2.0 Okay, you have now

so many scissors flying around. Now a mound of scissors. Yes.

Have You Ever Have you ever wondered what it looks like to tie scissors to a ceiling fan?

Ever wondered. But I can see how it feels like it right now. Yes, yes. Okay, I got I got it. So

yeah, if if you want to play with the IR cacophony, just boost the live podcast and 2.0 episode that's on the behind the scheme's feed.

Okay, I got you. That's why, okay, I see.

So I did the theme park gigs, and right

after all, as an electrician role.

It's been, I mostly work as electrician Carpenter, but I can do a lot of different stuff. It really just depends on what's required for the gig, you know,

theater, just general theater tech stuff across the board, entertainment production.

It's, you know, if I need to go climb a tree, that's what I was actually doing. When I kind of fell into the knowledge industry. I was up in a tree in El Paso wrapping Christmas lights around it because I didn't have a job on account with a Rona. Oh,

okay. All right, right, because you were on tour you were on tour with.

Yeah, so in 2000 That would have been 2014 started picking up Broadway tours as a system electrician did some brake work as a props guy. And just rock that from 2014 all the way up to 2020. In between, I'd work like there's a production company here in town that does a festival and concert setup, stuff like that. And I would work them during the summer and
then go out and tour during the winter and fall and whatnot. And 2020 is kind of when it was it was actually 2019 That summer, maybe fall is probably around the time of that Easter egg flare up in the news. Oh yeah,

that's that was the real death. Death by vape. Yeah, we got those bogus carta bogus THC cards. Just from China, because I know what really happened, you know, I was like, Oh, you're all gonna die from vaping Well, I'm still I've never vape more in my life. And this past year, I'm still here.

And it was about that time that I found the new agenda podcast, I don't even know where I stumbled across it. It was maybe a comment here in some last thread, I'm not sure. And I was listening to that. That was pretty fortuitous timing, given what 2020 was gonna bring. And I was on top of a ladder doing a big lamp changeover for our entire rig and Ottawa and we got the news. Oh, yeah. Theater is going to shut down for the
weekend. Wow, I never I never got to see all those lamps fire on it was like $1,500 worth of lamps to buy.

Okay, sound also,

I you know, funny enough audio is probably my weakest point in terms of production.

All right, you said you toured with somebody doing sound but I'm

just in terms of like, being a swing technician, you know, you can kind of fall into that place of like helping audio guys out. But if you need me to, like tune a room, that I am not your guy, you want me to run cable? I got you no problem.

So okay, so everything shut down. And then how did you find out about podcasting? 2.0

That was the pandemic hobby was starting a podcast and out the gate. I mean, if you go online trying to find information about how to start a podcast, it's go to pod bean, get yourself a Blue Yeti.

Ah, yes, champions right there. point

point the Blue Yeti directly into your mouth like you would any other mic, you know, not standing straight up anyways. And, you know, I have to give a huge shout out a big plus plus to avoid zero. And Darren No. This is both of their faults that we're talking right now. Because I made the fatal mistake one day of getting into the troll room guy, and that'll
be there. Yeah, from there it was. He knows such like, an insignificant thing, considering where we've all come but there's like this real test to getting voiced in the troll room. Because I never messed with IRC before. I don't know what half of this stuff meant. I still don't. But you know, it just it. It made you wanted to figure it out. Because I want to you know, I want to see what all these people are doing. I want to talk with them. This sounds really cool the Rock and Roll pre show.
I mean, that's, that's the thing that really got me involved in the chats and whatnot is just submitting songs that Dario finding out about grumpy old Ben's finding about bowl after bowl and rare encounter, and Nick, the rat and hogs story and just from there that like that's, that became the rest of my year. And I cannot recommend enough if anybody that hears this is ever wanting to start their own sort of show, zero node is the place to go. Because you've got a bevy of people that
have already been through these steps. And the information flows freely. Yeah. And it is just it is such a beautiful Rube Goldberg machines between isobar between gal, between, you know, all of the booths triggers, it's, it's really a phenomenal place. And that's, you know, that's kind of I've just been hanging out in the troll room in the various channels since 2020. I still remember standing in the HyVee parking lot going to get
groceries catching up on a episode of no agenda. And you Adam were talking about he had this really cool idea about how to change podcasts. And I was like, oh, that sounds
interesting. And I was a little late to the party. If it I didn't really like get the bug until sir Spencer and I had done we used to do a show called misinformed nation, which being the intent was we would you know, was supposed to be like a no like a biweekly no agenda stream review type of show where you have this rotating cast of podcasters that would just be bring clips of things that they had, you know, cut their attention that they thought were interesting or something that
they wanted to critique, you know, not a straight up like, Oh, we're gonna bash the EverLiving snot out of the show or anything like that. It was mostly just like, we're gonna meet up and talk about what we're listening to and if there's any good recommendations, and he had brought podcasts and 2.0 and we talked pretty thoroughly about it, and from there it was probably episode 1718 And I mean, I'd never bought Bitcoin before I had never messed with
an RSS feed. We started on pod bean and we migrated to pod surf.fm which is a very reasonably price, sir service and I would recommend them as a host. If anybody's looking for somebody out there, we're probably going to be transitioning. Because I offer them just because I want to get to a point where we don't have to touch to RSS feeds two times. Every Monday

night. Yeah. Yeah, that gets old. It does. So, okay, so then value for value music comes along, and you're already right in the middle of it. And so how do you jump in?

I mostly I just I had a collection of my dad's tracks. It's the climbing the mountain you can find it It's a compilation on podcasts and 2.0 and my original co host Malikai. We'd actually started out with three guys. But Malikai is also a pretty prolific Oh my God, what's the word prolific, prolific musician, and he had had a sizable catalogue. So I had, you know, both of these two artists like the rusty gates, the Rainmaker. $2 hauler. You know, that's all.

Rusty gates, I think was one of the there's not the first track we played on podcasting. 2.0. It

would have been the second I think you started with just Oh, that's right. Joe

Martin. Right. Then went right to Gates was the second right.

girl like me? Yeah. So I had these all this music that you know, we've been playing this music forever on the show. We have. Maybe since the 20s. On BTS, we've been playing 15 minute long intermissions every single week, which Fun fact, when you have 100 plus of those intermissions saved up you can just throw them onto a ice cast stream and we haven't like incident radio station in a box. Just add water and shake.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

You know, all of that was Free Music Archive stuff, you know, CC BY. And we're actually kind of in a in a conundrum, because I don't know how we can put the new intermissions that have the VTS is in them on a stream and actually have those be boost double. I would definitely love to be able to do that where you have something like the no agenda stream just broadcasts and well actually,

I think that the split kit has a mechanism for that, but you have to use the Split kit as the playout. But it does work. I've experimented with that you can put in an entire music show and it will just it will sucking all of the value time splits and little add them in to the to the live stream. Okay, so they have not had a way to do it. Yeah,

I hadn't. I'd heard rumblings about that I hadn't had a chance to play with. So

I'm looking at your feed move. Marina says you're he said you're on pod surf, but I don't but your feed shows sovereign feeds.

That's because every Monday I upload BTS and before the schemes to pod surf, I take the feed that they generate, and I hack away at it by hands. And then that's

rough brother that's very rough. Every

month, every Monday night when we sit down kick the stream on 830 It's probably for 435 o'clock by the time we walk away because we we do episodes back to back and then we post produce both episodes back to back with all of the new chapter art, all the value time splits everything just you know, get it done, rip that band aid off. So then I think oh, the music. Yes,

I think you really you really came into the picture and started to shine really big besides the behind the schemes work with with the Ainsley Costello just loud concert, because you were basically boots on the ground for everybody. You were pulling stuff together, there's the way it felt to me.

So backing up just a little bit. Right after the value time splits were debuted on podcast 2.0 We immediately threw them into our feed. That's something that we had been waiting for forever. Even back when David joined us on episode 101. We made sure to include all of the musician wallets for the
intermission. So this is something I've been like frothy about and during that fall, we just started the Thunder Road dot media website and we were working with musicians getting their mp3 uploaded onto the website building feeds or the music music side project. We're up to 80 plus feeds right now. Wow. And yeah, and you know, it's just, it's just something that I want to do because I want to be able to play all this
killer music. And I had heard that Ainsley especially with given all the the hype around the podcasts and to porno debuts that you were playing for her for and I saw that they were going to be doing this concert Are and you know, first avenue is spitting distance, basically, it's like 20 minutes or whatever. And I just reached out and I said, hey, hey, now I've got production entertainment, background of 10 plus years, I'd love to be of assistance. And, you know, basically it was
trying to zip up. Because from what I understand, I don't necessarily want to speak too far into this because I am a little foggy on on the what actually happened so much has transpired over the past couple of months. But the RSS introduction was kind of a last minute tack on in terms of actually broadcasts and the feeds through the podcasting app.

Oh, really? Oh, okay.

And, you know, like, by last minute, I'm thinking probably within the last month or so, but you know, don't don't quote me on my outline. Like I said, it's just, it's, there's so much both in work and personal life and the show stuff. It's hard to keep track of, there's a lot of lore that
goes deep. And, you know, it was just a matter of trying to bridge the gap between all of this experience with BTS and the music, and the split kid, especially, you know, doing these wallet, the wallet switches, because we've been since summer, or maybe I'd have to go back, but we've been using the split kit every week. Courtesy of Steven B. I mean, that thing is so cool,

though. I Phoebe loves it too. So Okay, girl, I could not live without the split kit, for sure. Yeah.

So it was just a matter of like it kind of just, you know, being able to provide a little bit of production. We rented some lights from the company that I worked for just little two pipe, pipe and bass with some LEDs. And Frankie Payne was out there helping me get loaded in and we streamed everything and we BTS actually rebroadcast that along with homegrown hits. That's something that's really fun, you know, fun fact, if people want to do this, you can just copy and paste live
items out of other feeds and put them into yours. And if you're doing rebroadcast

that's, that's a great idea. Yeah, this is like a, like a feed drop. But live for live for for a live event, you know, yeah,

it's a repeater. It's it's, you did you said, copying the live item for this for this podcast and to put on our live episode into the BTS feed is perfect. I mean, I had never even considered that but it's, it's neither. A live remote item is beautiful.

And we'll be doing that on Saturday. But I guess since we're at the end of December with Ainsley shows, you know, that was I still like it still kind of messes me up just like how much we got to witness happen. For Ainsley, for her parents. For Frankie pain, Frankie pain is a technician that's never bought Bitcoin and earn that first stack of sads nice. Like, that's such a that is such a mind fudge, you know.

So before we get to the next concert, which is the reason why we timed you having on the show today. Tell me about Thunder Road and, and how how are you approaching artists? Do you find this a certain way that works better for them? What kind of pushback Are you getting? What is your what is your approach for onboarding artists and and explaining to them what's going on?

The it's funny, I have been way more, I've met way more musicians have been receptive to podcasts and 2.0 then other other podcasters realistically, it's pretty pretty bizarre. Fun fact, the union of the unwanted appearance that you had done recently, a lot of those dudes I have talked to some to a pretty good extent about getting their feeds on boarded one of them even in person purpley. So I'm excited to see those dudes catch
up here. And then we, in terms of just talking to the musicians, it's like, hey, you know, if you've got a song, let's get it onto our website, and I can build you the feed, I'll do everything for you. And, you know, I'll get the feed hosted on our website with the GUID transfers, which Dave You
and I had done that with rusty gate. It was on wavelike originally, but we ended up moving and it's my website that alerted me that like, I don't have to hold these feeds in perpetuity for people I can, you know, realistically I want to offload these at some point I don't want to post these forever just because like the idea is you get people started you plant those seeds and you can just trans groups like to like Ryan Okada, 12 rides, I've got some of his, some of his feeds. And I've told him

everybody okay, yeah, you you're cutting out Dave, are you losing all signal or just

boom? No, no, I'm fine. I just think it's just on boobers in

okay. Yeah, we lost you for a second brother. Take it back to Okay. Check, check, check, check. Yeah, you're good now.

So, uh, oh, sure, I lost my train of thought. Um, yeah, it's just a matter it's just a matter of, you know, reaching out to the musicians and seeing if they want to do one song and if they do the one song and there's and that's the cool thing is like these music shows we can just like, like, hey, there's new music from this, these guys and we just drop them into the chat and you know, they get a little bit of exposure and they they like what they're seeing in terms of you
know, people just talking about their music, you know, all of the value aside, just the fact that people are listening and enjoying sorry, all of the Bitcoin aside, the fact that people are listening and talking about and enjoying that music, valuing it that that really spurs them into getting their whole catalogue uploaded. And I've I've been informed that I need to go back in at the right duration tags. That crushes my soul a little bit, but we'll get it figured out. I mean,
everything is everything. Everything that we produce is handcrafted.

Small batch. Small batch. Artisan partners. Yes,

yes, yes.

You're doing such amazing work and I just want everyone to understand when when you talk about value for value and how it can work with smaller audiences were well over 160,000 Satoshis just of what you brought to today's podcast and it's all you man you don't need we don't need music it's just just have you on the show this great I mean that that really shows the power of what community can do and you know, you're bringing your community you're you're streaming live on
the on the other feed I mean, it's amazing what can be done with a relatively small amount of people it's just it's beautiful to see and I think this is the trend in general and I think people are starting to realize it and I love the evangelizing that you're doing and and which you've also done just beautifully for this 12 rods concert for tomorrow tell us about that. Before

we go any further I do Oh Pete's are Seven Goats because he was boosted in the podcasting 2.0 feed and out the behind the ski one behind the screen ones so with the boardrooms blessings I'd like to just go ahead and get this over with that's probably the best for everybody okay.

Victory oh man Dave Are you all right?

Not sure what just happened?

I got some on me. Let me just wipe this off. I don't know what that Guru is. But I gotta

change the clothes Okay, that's something new in the boardroom. Yes. Okay.

I love that tribute che Yeah, that was a reason

that I just I'm I'm sort of like this is not good for my mental health. What I mean is watching this

watching the scoreboard I had to shut down the scoreboard it was it was it was drawing me in I was like,

it's crazy focus and don't get anything done right now.

So there's, there's a lot of elements that we've been building up with are these and this is gonna sound crazy, but most of the things that triggers the stuff that we can do comes from IRC. Is

there a place we can go and see where we can find the code to implement this or no to customize it? GitHub or something that people can go to? Because I mean, I can see lots of lots of things people would want to do with this. But it seems like where do I find it?

There's two places. Servo does have a GitHub repository for IR cacophony, which is the IRC triggers. Split kid is also has also introduced boost ISOs. And I didn't realize I forget exactly how to set it up. Just because I got so much piled up on the plates, but it is possible. It's just a matter of making sure that you have the right live item in your defaults. And then there's a menu inside the hamburger menu that takes you to the boost. ISOs and you can set Oh,

I'd never even see that boost board trigger board soundboard. Holy moly. Yeah. Oh, that's cool.

So you can do that. But yeah, the way our cacophony worse is gal, which is my version of the booth spot, servos cetera. She's amazing. And she relays the booths back. And then IR cacophony is a Python script that's sitting there reading the chat room, and just fires sound effects based off of various key word triggers.

Wow, did you ever did you ever get the lighting thing working correctly?

Multiple times, multiple times. So that that's a little more caveman than I would like it. But as it stands, right, well, the first version was using Hello pad. And hey, citizen, Peso doesn't turn me on to this open source software called QL c plus, which is a free and open lighting software. And in there, it's got an audio trigger widget and you just give it an input and it will sit there and fire lighting chases based off of how you know how you program it. So just

just to distill it down so what can be done now which is great for live shows, which I'm going to look at now that I see it's in the split kit, the split kit.com You can set it up so that if if someone boosts a certain number, a certain amount that will trigger a different sound Yes, that is I didn't even know the see this. I didn't even know this was here. It's been in front of me. I use the Split kit all the time. It's it's been in front of me all this time. That's phenomenal.
And and it's really great because it you know, it works inspirationally. aspirationally and auditorily it's fantastic. Yeah,

and like that whole kazoo pit that's something that just became a necessity because Pete's are murders so many goats routinely that he just needs background music so yes, I

think I think I understand yes

it's a totally just you know, it's the the epitome in my opinion of taking a show and you know like really staking a claim and brother

let's take a little break here and then we'll come back we'll talk about the about the concert tomorrow you of course view as one of the few guests on the show email this morning early with your wallet and and with a song you want it so what are we going to listen to?

We are going to be listening to a damn good haunting by mellow Cosette they're going to be kicking off our live stream tomorrow at 6:30pm Central in the Minneapolis check it out.
says please wipe the blood from your door Grace Do you see what you believe in now still betting days in the sun need is a damn good meeting hearts you Got demons in the caravans as you can you promise us back you need is a damn good on

You well now kind of kicks butt I would concur. mela Damned

you that the the church is not a place you go as you are the church you carry it around with you like blueberry. Behind the scheme's is not a podcast. You listen to it, it's wherever blueberry is. So he basically turned this boardroom into an episode of bond schemes as recently what happened today

Dave, you do a invites brother. You're in charge of all that man.

I know. I know. I apologize to the entire boardroom. So yeah, so

let's after after the concert with Ainsley, I'd called him to the our big dumb mouth podcast live every Wednesday and Saturday. And I had told him, you know how the concert went, and I was very excited. And someone from the Minneapolis Perry, emailed the Thunder Road, email, and was curious about how they could do something similar and we had talked a little bit back and forth. He plays in a band silver seed who check him out on Ellen beats. And you know, it communication just kind
of fell off. And this is right around the time I went down to Kansas City a couple of times, I was setting up, Spencer and Lorien with their own bustable disco ball. They've got a lighting rig set up down in there in the bowl, where every time they get a boost, there's a little chase of LED lights and then a disco ball lights up. They've got their own cast video stream that it's the background for their stream. It's it's so
just perfect. And after we kind of got that figured out. I was sitting at lunch with the supervisor and I was telling them about the Ainsley show and the venue. That email from Perry kind of came back up and I looked it up on the Google Maps and the warehouse was five minutes down the road from where we were having lunch. And I was like, Oh, it is Game On, called Perry basically showed up that day. And within 24 to 48 hours. They said let's do a show April 6 12 rods is going out on tour.
And we'd like to do a little like pre tour kickoff for them. And that really just that is what kicks off the last month and a half in terms of just trying to get everything ready. We're we're bringing the scoreboard which we've already kind of talked about. Thank you Eric, VP for getting that set up. We're gonna have that projected in the venue so that people can see it. We're gonna go nice,

nice. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, yeah. And we're going to have a 48 inch disco ball that's going to be lining up. I've actually got a LED licos in here at my feet that's been lining up a floor. This is like my second time to actually

crop so you Actually, you're taking the whole boosting experience back into the IRL with with stuff flashing and flipping off while people are booths. Will you have QR codes for people to use during the show? I

hope so. I was kind of messing around with the get Alby. I just I don't know which QR codes to use. That's

the thing. It's not a split kit thing that you that you use for that. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Split kit. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. And we'll have split kit running. One

day, someone's gonna document all this and it'll be the way that concerts are done. I'm telling you, right, you can be sitting at home, you can do something on your on your app, and you're gonna see lights flashing at the venue itself. It's this is a this is powerful. Unfortunately,

unfortunately, I think we're going to kind of run out. I mean, there's we're going to run out of time today, but there's so many just like, oh, we can try. Okay, I'll give you one. Give me one. You'll appreciate this.

How old are you man? How old are you?

I'll be 33 at the end of July down in Nashville. magic number.

Dave now I understand young man. Yes, that's right.

Yeah, he has energy. Yeah.

Oh, god, yeah, it's, it's really just kind of bring into the table. Everything that we've been, you know, trying to not trying that we've been doing for the live podcast. And so we'll have the boost of all disco ball, it should be lighting up. We're going to have a boost bot overlay on the video stream. I've actually got hex chat output into a text file for OBS. Of course, why not? That will be overlaid on the bottom? Of course you do. Yep. There's, we we start the pre stream at
530. We've got one hour of music videos from songs were found on Ellen beats, we'll have the split kits set up ready to go so that as you're watching the pre show, stream, all the wallets will be changed for split kit, podcast guru. There's a little something something special, it's going to be actually kicking us from the pre stream into the live feed. I've been accused of spoiling stuff in the past. So I'm sitting on this one. And there's nothing that anybody can do to Mattamy Yeah, good man.

Oh, hell yes. And then.

And our guests brings his own sound drops. It doesn't get any better than that. It's

all I have. I have so many. I have so many brother,

your enthusiasm, your enthusiasm is infectious. I love this. I think that you're changing the way live music is just live music in general. With this integration with with 2.0 and with the value verse. This is very exciting. It's it's a it's messy. I love that about it. Because this is this is where beautiful things are born man. I'm very. Can I say I'm proud of you, son. I love this. This is good. Good stuff. Families. Thank you, ma'am.

You're not. But you're not a developer. Right? I mean, this. You're not No, not right. Oh,

my, my, my history or I guess, experience with computers is pretty much MySpace and some Adobe court back in the day when we were homeschooled. Wow.

Wow is the most this is the best part to me, of, of this, of this board meeting is that you look at all the stuff that is getting strung together in by you and Spencer and and all the people in the IRC. And it's, it shows to what what I take away from that is that look at all this stuff that was that
has been built and strung together. What What if we put actual protocols on top of this, you know, actual standard protocols like activity pub and that kind of thing and put these on top to where they're linked together in a way where you don't have to do a bunch of like stringing of disparate parts together where you can actually link them together in a coherent Yes. Protocol, then this, then you're then you're then it's not just siloed into one IRC channel is in its you you do a lot is
anybody can do a live podcast. And they can just pay they can just hit go and you get all the parts. Like I just think that there's a lot to learn from watching. You guys put all these things together, because I get stuck. But I think all of us as developers we get stuck sometimes as is what I said a while ago. I'm building activity pub bridge and I and I hit this point I get I get a couple of days. So it's done. And I'm like, Well, that's it. I'm out of ideas. But then you guys come
along and do like 50 things. You're You're murdering goats. You're doing all this wild stuff. And I'm like, and putting together scoreboards on the internet. I'm like, oh, yeah, wait, there. There is like a lot of other things you could do. You just I just didn't have the language to describe it or the ideas to like express it. It's cool. It's very, very cool

so, just looking at the scoreboard so far 208,585 SATs for this podcast being boosted. That is well over $135. You know, a lot of bands will pay that amount to play.

Yeah, no, I'm saying we, you know, this concert has been, you know, produced via the same way that we've been doing the show every week. We've asked people for value. We've tried to do what we could to provide value up front. That's been kind of interesting. Like, it's not just the lighting stuff that we're doing for this concert we've sown and made banners that

This is what I initially thought with. With fountain surfacing those it turns out that the answer is no it's you still have to do the same amount of work for value for value you have to ask for value. Remember that booster grams are not comment

yourself brother. The legendary Andrew Grumman

RW Nash 2000 says they found he says because you're doing things not just sitting back and complaining hashtag V for V. Anonymous 5000 SATs through pod verse he says LoL is sending notes through PayPal. I've had better luck sending cash through the post office. Thanks, God. Thank God for booster grants. No, no one from anonymous sleepovers. I still don't understand this aversion to equating V for V
with tipping. If V for V isn't tipping, wouldn't it mean that tipping your server isn't leave for V. I've seen the kind of money earned by good servers compared to their hourly co workers believe me, there's no shame in working for tips. While

a podcast is not just the serve the serving of the podcast, it's the whole meal. So you're getting a whole meal and the servers in one but you're not being charged anything upfront.

That's the waiter and the maitre d all wrapped up into one and the restaurant and the recipe in the restaurant. Yes. Jean been 20 to 22 through cast Maddie says please keep in mind that some of us don't use stats for advertising. Yes. In to clarify my comments from last week. I only used advertising as my exempt my core examples because advertising there was an accusation made against Mitch that he was quote defrauding advertisers and so I that was the core of my argument.
Understood but but yeah, but we use them we use them to have some insight into if people are listening as you will know listener engagement is tiny for most podcasters and the stats are all we got and all like downloads is a stat but I don't
have anything else. That's all you got. That's that is true as if that's what if you want to know things gene been 2222 A says as a follow up I sure hope the activity streams ideas come to fruition in a way that provides meaningful statistics, irrespective of what ad tech cares about.

It could and it'll be listeners choice to opt into it and I can see why they would do that if you ask them.

And our and our entire boardroom. Thank you for joining us. We do it live every single Friday
afternoon. And I hope we'll have one next week. Dave because as you know, we are in the totality zone here in Fredericksburg, Texas. And you know, we've got the big the big solar eclipse happening on Monday and who knows if we'll survive it.

That's gonna be a bust because it's gonna be overcast. It's I

know 40% chance of rain, overcast? No,

although many millions of dollars were made on eclipse glasses for a thing that you're not even gonna be able to see. Yeah,

well, there's there's it was a it was a big hype, I think was overhyped, despite the wet even before the weather reports we were seeing in Fredericksburg that the hotels were not fully booked up the Airbnbs were not fully booked up. So I think people just got to a point where I'm like crazy if the end of the world's coming I want to be at home with my fridge. I want to watch TV. I don't buy don't have to be a part of the destruction. Although we did get that nice
earthquake in the New York tri state area today. It was kind of interesting. That's rare this, I'd say it's very rare. I lived there for many years. I can't remember an earthquake in the New York area. So we

we didn't even mean we didn't even scratch one. We didn't even hit one thing on my on my notes. But I did want to like there's like 100 things I wanted to talk about. But I didn't want to say thank you to Eric PP and Steven crater, they fixed the TLV missing episode guity. Yes, thank you very much on Win Win from the PR website. And I'm hoping I'm hoping next next week since we'll have we won't have a guest next week. So I'm hoping that we'll be able to dig into I want to talk about
the part the our podcasts index dashboard. Yes, because I've been digging into that a lot because I want to talk about how how we're going to use that. Okay, and then, you know, we had this we, we did the publisher feed spec this morning, I put put that into the namespace as a as a draft. Yeah. So we'll we'll talk about that too. Yeah,

maybe the music tags and all that stuff comes along with the category

He has so much to talk about Yeah. Yeah so much Tommy the cat the categories because that that seems to be the gist of what is needed right now we need the publisher stuff there and we need the music. Like not It's not specifically from us we need some of these keyword category type things. Yeah. Yep. Think about that next week.

Okay, well, you know, I'm glad it's just you and me next week you bring your agenda and I'll just sit back and make snide comments.
