Did you hear about that game in 1916?  Highest scoring game ever.


No, I didn't here about that.  What was the score?


WOW!  You would think they would have called it off at some point!  Did you hear how much it cost to build the high school stadium in allen, texas?


Yeah, 60 million.  It seats 18,000.  I guess there's not much else to do in that town but go to a high school game


True.  Did you hear that Tom Brady wasnt given the chance to play on his JV team in HS?  They didnt ever score yet they kept him on the bench.


I hadn't heard that.  I guess he showed them!  He's in good company. Micheal Jordan got cut from his high school team, I believe.


He did.  It is the perseverance and the will to succeed that makes them the athletes that they are!


Very true!  A great life lesson to learn.  The PAtriots have certainly done better than the Browns.  They haven't won a playoff game since 1995!


I dont know if the Dolphins have even seen the playoffs in that long LOL.  Great Chat!  Have a nice day!


Very little, just usually around super bowl time.


Same here.  Have you ever heard of Colton McCoy?  I have not


Yeah.  I know he was a real standout in college.  He ended up with the Redskins


Looks like he is going to be their backup. He threw a 57 yard pass it looks like.


57 yards!  That is pretty incredible.  I think he will do pretty well in the league.


With an arm like that he should.  Did you know Snoop Dogg wrote a fight song for his son's football team?


I heard that, I bet it is pretty interesting.  I think that is great involvement.


Yeah, it is.  I'd love to hear that song for sure.


I love cars. Do you know how the drive thru came about?


Yes that was McDonald's accommodating soldier in fatigue who were not allowed to leave their cars


Yes and that dates back only to 1975 so pretty recent


Yeah it is. DO you know why the trunk of the car is called that?


Yes it is because the old cars used to have wooden trunks so the name stuck around


Yes. Do you know how Cadillac got its name?


Yes it was named after the founder of Detroit, de la Mothe Cadillac


Yeah. In South Africa you can hook up flame throwers to your car to protect it


Wow. Did you know the emperor of Japan is a scientist?


Yes and he is still publishing papers on journals, pretty cool


Not really because they waste too much water for the courses


I know right, keeping active where he is good at


Yes that is true. In the us that averages to 312 000 gallons per day for one


Yes and in Dubai there is one that uses 4 million gallons a day


WOw what a waste. Babe Ruth was good at golf too


Yeah and he was the most famous one once in the US


Yes. Samuel Jackson always includes two weeks of gold on his movie contracts


Hhaa smart guy. Golf course in the US if put together take as much land as Rhode Island and Delaware together


WOw that is a lot of land. SO they take too much space and use to much water


Yup Richard Nixon and a guy named Richard Ailes who was a Republican Strategist.


Wow i didn't know that. I know they have an office in New York.


I know right, with international broadcasts featuring Fox Extra segments during ad breaks.


Media sure is fascinating, especially how it can get information out there or just be for entertainment.


Quick subject change. Do you still use the radio or are you like me everything digital, lol?


Pretty much everything digital.  Sometimes Ill use my car's radio.  But thats about it, so I miss out on the news in Latin and other fun things like that.


Yeah i sure would like to hear what Jupiter's storms sound like since they can be picked up on AM radio.


That would be really cool!  I teach music and I think that might be a great addition to my class.


I try not to, I find them a bit slanted.


Yeah your student would love it!! Did you know soldiers in WW2 made radio's out of pencils and razor blades? Cool right!


That is amazing.  I dont think I could manage that and I have all the technology here today!


Right they deem the name foxhole radio's. Surprise thats not a brand or something, lol!


Nope, because they were created in foxholes.


Yeah your right. You know in Cananda 40% of music played on the radio has to be in house. I think that's cool. Preserve the culture some.


If you can call Justin Beiber "culture" than sure.  LOL.  But it does give a chance to local artists.


Yeah your right about Beiber, to funny! Nice chatting with you!


Me too, Some hoe though they are watched more than msnbc and cnn combined.


I can see that, they are a bit more mainstream than the other two and the network also offers lots of diverse programming.


Yup. You know Fox tried to sue the simpsons for parodying it's famous anti-democratic party agenda.


Yeah, that is kind of funny.  Too bad they didnt take the hint.  LOL


Right! they also tried to create a channel exclusively for the Simpsons.


That would be pretty cool, for a short period of time.  It would be like one or two marathons and Id be done.


Right, lol. Fox was created by two ppl named Richard. Do you know who they were?


Hey hows it going, do you like fantasy or horror films the most?


I did, I remember watching it in the movie theater, it's the fourth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki seems like a bad guy you can root for, or am I mistaken?


I have never seen it. I do like Chris Hemsworth


Yah he is a good actor, I like Natallie Portman and Tom HIddleston too, both great actors and actresses!


I agree but Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins are the best


Idris Elba is a great actor, did you see The Wire at all?


one of the best shows ever. So Jim henson created 'the dark crystal' ? I did not know that


I did not know that, Jim Henson created Seasame Street right?


yes i grew up on that. I would love to see that 15,145-page fantasy manuscript


Or what about a fantasy draft for the national spelling bee? That's nuts people do that too. I wonder what Seasame Street would be like as a horror or fantasy show?


lol good question. the lord of the rings won an academy award for "best picture" Good movie !


horror is the best. I love Edgar Allan Poe


I'm sure it was a good movie, I really can't get into that type of fantasy movies, same with Game of Thrones, I know they are great pieces of art and so good, I just don't really like watching them, there is a lot of good take aways from the movies though about how the world should be. Terry Pratchett was knighted for his services to literature, and he's a comedic fantasy author.


Very good point. I love all Fantasy movies in both literature and drama. enjoy your fantasy movies !


The Raven is such a great book. I like both, I get scared easily at horror movies though but do with fantasy, they are both great though.


I did not know that scream was going to be titled "scary movie".


Yah, what are those called, dark comedies right?


yes. The actors in the exorcist never knew that they were making a horror film. lol


It's crazy, I think a lot of people are like that in real life too, I wish more people would realize that it could be us like that. Isn't it nuts that a single fold in the brain makes the difference between perceiving reality and fantasy?


Thats deep. People could learn more about this at an actual university


They could, too bad not everyone has access to a university though, would help everyone out a lot if it was more profitable, the inequality gap in the US is getting ridiculous!


Did you ever see Thor that came out in 2011 ?


He plays for Queen and it is in astrophysics


I see.  Have you seen Bohemian Rhapsody?  I really wanna see that movie,  but I think I have to wait for it to come out on dvd lol


Considering I love music,  I definitely listen to it.  Did you know the Fender stratocaster was intended for country music?


The guy who founded Ford?  He made cars,  thats all I really know.


He financed country music too cause he thought jazz was taking over


Did you know U2 opened for themselves a few times and dressed up in costume so no one would know lol


hello,  yes I love music.  How about yourself?


Hahaha yeah like the dalton brothers from gavelstone


Yes I do. DO you have a favorite instrument?


Yes,  I love the sound of the piano,  so beautiful,Do you?


Yes me too. The guitar also, I really like it


Yes,  guitar is nice as well.  I recently learned that Matthew Bellamy has the guiness world record for most guitars smashed lol


lol he probably doesnt care,  he was probably making a lot of money during this.


I bet. Did you know brian may has a phd?


I did not,  but I do not know who that is,  what band does he play for?


Hi, how are you doing? Do you like to watch football on the TV?


The QB must get paid a lot of money. Is Tom Brady the highest paid player on the team?


I bet he is, he is the MVP of the team and they know it so it seems fair to compensate him properly


That's good. It is a dangerous job to be QB. I figure he needs money for his life after football.


Well his wife earns more money than him so I guess he is set for life


Wow, she must be an amazing QB! What team does she play for?


Shes not a QB lol, shes a model, or was a model, although there are no rules against females playing the game, maybe she is as skilled as Brady


Perhaps Brady should have become a model. There is more money in it, and it is not dangerous.


I agree football is a career with many hazards, brain damage, injuries,


Yes, it is a dangerous game. Anyway, I have enjoyed chatting immensely! Thank you for your teachings on the football!


I love the game, hope things get better for players though


Have a nice day, enjoy football and Brady while they last.


I do not get the chance to watch much. I like to watch around the playoffs.


I see, well the playoffs are the most exciting games, 32 teams 2 divisions and the Patriots seem to get to the Superbowl every year


The Patriots. Do they cheat a lot? How do they win all the time?


They just have a great coach and a legendary coach, both are the pillars of that team


Who is the coach? I guess he must be a shrewd tactician to win every year.


Bill Belichick is his name and yeah he is a really smart man, the QB is legendary as well


The QB is the most important player, as far as I know. Who is this QB?


The QB is Tom Brady, and yeah I agree, the QB has a great responsibility


I did not know Evangeline Lilly was The Wasp!


It is hard to believe that Bill Nye has gotten famous off of a Steve Martin look a like contest lol


I dont see the resemblance, but i guess he had great makeup. the guy is great with audiences.


Yes he has made quite a career out of his luck. I used to watch his shows back in the day.


I heard him on the radio from time to time. interesting guy. he was an adviser on the movie flubber.


Yes Bill Nye was just recently on a podcast with Elon Musk and Neal Degrassi Tyson. Speaking about mars.That guy Elon Musk might save the world.


I hope we get more people like him. smart and ambitious. I wish I had been one of those. He is not greedy either.


Sony is regretting the rights to marvel. They would be making so much more money. Luckily for marvel they didnt hand it over.


Yeah, Sony did not know the potential of the other characters. they focused on one and could have had a bounty.


Its crazy to think that the big marvel characters dont associate with disney. It was a good move by marvel again.


Yeah, they developed those characters over decades. the following was huge. Anyway, good chat!


Oh, man. is she pretty. i need to watch that film. isnt she canadian?


Alright. I think I may go watch that Ant Man now


surely will. I definitely have to check that out!


Yeah it seems like this is not ending too well.


I believe so. I really like Paul Rudd for ant man. He is a good action star!


He is good for superhero films. he is also good at comedy. I dont usually see superhero films, but i like humorous ones.


Have you seen the movie the Thor: Ragnarok'? It was hard to understand.


I have not. again. i dont usually watch the superhero films. the casting for the thor character seems good.


Im thinking back to the old nintendo. Japan kept selling them until 2003. It was so popular at its time.


I never owned one, but my friends did. they loved the NES.


I was in love with that system growing up.The story telling from the games as a kid can really broaden your imagination.  nintendo came out with great games. My favorite was Zelda.


I played the gameboy for a bit. it was a pretty good system. good games.


What kind of shows do you like? Do you like cartoons?


I am not much into cartoons.  I remember "Orange is the New Black" which won multiple awards.  But, they do on occasion release a dud.  Did you happen hear about their cannabis cooking show?


I have just heard about it. I don't really like food shows that much. Apparently it is filled with mundane cooking and mindless commentary


I have a sister-in-law who is addicted to the Food Channel.  it seems like Netflix "Cooking on High" is a lame twist on cooking competition shows which are the staple of the Food Network channel.


I did like the show Ugly Delicious though.


I never heard of that one.  I guess that only Netflix could produce a Cannabis Cooking Show and get pass FCC regulators since it is not exactly "kid friendly".  Seems like one of the issues with the Netflix show is that the judges are already buzzing before they judge the cooking.  Perhaps this one should die on the vine.  It is about as much a success as IHOP's name change prank!


Yeah, I will stick to my comedy shows. I miss That 70s show. Did you ever watch that? They made it verbatim in the UK but it was cancelled after ten episodes.


I was more into Friends, although when I needed something that did not require much mental energy I would watch the Simpsons.  That show just won't quit!!  Bart is so funny and so essential to the show that he is in every episode except 1!


Yeah, Bart is my favorite dude! Pokemon is another show that has gone on for a long time. There are 750 episodes!


Until recently I did not know there was a Pokemon show - I always associated with the card role playing game.   At a much younger age, the kids were into PBS' Thomas the Tank Engine.  Did you know Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin all have narrated at least 52 episodes?  I found that surprising since they are not exactly known for "clean language" ?


Living in a rural area with limited TV and Internet options, I subscribed to Netflix DVD subscription service.  Now that I have cellular internet, I do have streaming media, but with Amazon Prime, not Netflix.


Interesting. Well they did a good job narrating! I like Thomas!


I forgot about the DVD option. They still spend 20 times more on postage than bandwidth.


It makes sense considering they work with providers to place Netflix servers at internet distribution hubs to serve out popular requests close to the users.  Where I think Netflix (and others) are a threat to traditional TV is their foray into developing original content.


They use so much bandwidth, and from 9 pm to 12 am account for 33 percent of all bandwidth in North America. I contribute to that. Ha.


I think we all do to some extent.  Everyone streams today.  Together with YouTube, Netflix makes up 1/2 of peak internet traffic.  With all the streaming options, do you still subscribe to regular TV or have you "cut the cord"?


I usually only watch Netflix, but some broadcast tv. I miss going to Blockbuster! They were offered to buy Netflix but declined.


I think they thought that they were "to big to fail" and that Netflix was not a threat.  We had one of the last Blockbusters here until 2015.  They really blew it when they passed on buying Netflix.


Right, and if it weren't for companies like Blockbuster, Reed Hastings would not have thought of Netflix. He got a $40 late fee on a VHS and came up with the idea.


They have killed off Blockbuster.  And I am not sure how long RedBox will last.  I can't remember the last time I used a DVD.  I think the TV networks should be worried that they are in Netflix's crosshairs.  Some of their original content is award winning!


The White House sure has a long history!


Yeah JFK along Washington and Jefferson, its weird that Trump is not on that list.


I'm actually surprised by Jefferson being on that list, he wasn't very wealthy when he died. Actually, it's kind of interesting that until 1805, the vice president was the runner up in the presidential election. That would be crazy today!


I think Trump and Clinton would have killed each other by now lol, but I think its a great idea, a way to unite parties


It probably would help. Most presidents are sports enthusiasts right?


Whatever wins votes I guess, the president of Indonesia is a pop fan, he actually released 3 albums


That's pretty cool. I wonder how popular they were.


Who knows maybe he has a lot of talent lol, he must had a lot of free time, he released them while in office, that doesnt look good.


I don't think I'd have much faith in a president who has that much free time. Did you know baseball managers were uniforms because they can technically play for their teams if needed?


I know I wouldn't, and really I've always wondered why they also wore the uniform, I wonder if a manager ever stepped in and played


I can't think of an instance where they have. Most managers are quite a bit older though, I wonder if they could actually play.


It does! There are a lot of interesting things about it


I bet some of them can and I think the whole team has to get injured before that can happen, a once in a life time sort of thing.


There are for intance did you know the White House has two twin building?


I did not! I wonder if they are exact replicas, and what they are used for?


I  think they are, they are smaller and located in Ireland and France


Oh that is pretty cool. Did you know that there are solar panels on it?


I didnt know that, its great that the White House also uses clean energy,  they also use old tech like floppy discs


I thought he was a decent president, he's not on the list of the wealthiest presidents of all time though.


No, he's not. JFK was on that list though, wasn't he?


Yes, I love rap music and Tupac Shakur's music is the best, I'm glad it's in the Library of Congress. I rad somewhere that Eminem's true dream was to become a comic book artist.


Another art form. His favorite super hero  was Spiderman!


That's cool.  Do you know that rapper Busta Rhymes voiced the reptar wagon in the 1998 Rugrats movie?


No, had no idea!  Robin Williams was the first voices in animated films.


Robin was the best! Miss him so much. He was the first actor to start the trend of celebrities.


I do too! He had such a tragic ending! very upsetting. Loved his movies too!


Did you know Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode?


No, That's alot!, Highest paid celebrity after Lebron James.


Hard to believe but Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street.


I know, so long ago!  Eating diverse foods combats hungry problems. Great chat!!


That's cool!  Nice chatting with you as well.  I need to get to work.  I work the night shift tonight.  Lucky me.  Talk to you later, friend.


I enjoy going to the games! so exciting! Nike made a lot of money with the Air Jordans.


They sure did.  You know, they were banned when they first were introduced to the NBA, but Jordan wore them anyway, because Nike was willing to pay the fine each game.


Yes, and still made a lot! Players refuse to do the granny style, think it looks stupid! lol


It does, but physicists have proved it's the most absolute best technique to consistently score points on the line.


I know they should use it more.  Korean rappers do a freestyle called, "compliment battle" .


I never heard of that style of rapping. Do you like rap music?


Some of it, do you? Tupac's  music is in the Library of Congress!


Yes, it is. The screen writers were Andy Weiss, Logan Miller and Noah Miller.


Never heard of them.  I read it's entertaining in an unsavory way.


Changing topics a little, did you know that When caesar visited britain, around 50bc, he noted that its people bred chickens not for food, but for entertainment


No, I sure didn't but that's an interesting piece of information.  Louis Braille create the braille system for the blind.


I didn't know that.  I did know that Bill nye "the science guy" got his break in entertainment by winning a steve martin lookalike contest.


yes, I thought it was also. Also, Ronald reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment executive didn't think he had "that presidential look."


Haha, what an idiot they turned out to be.  Andrew Johnson never attended school.


He didn't, that is interesting.  On another note, Jim carrey doesn't make dramas any more because his belief system prevents him from playing in movies that don't project positivity


Haha, that's interesting as well.  He was hilarious in the 90s.


Yes, well, thank you so much for chatting.  Have a HAPPY HOLIDAY.


I am great.  Have you seen the movie "White Boy Rick"


Yes, it is, and all of it is true.  It starts Matthew McConaughey and Richie Merritt, who play father and son.


I've heard about it.  I've heard it is depressing.


It is depressing and entertaining.  It has drugs, sex and gunrunning,  plus a main character whose neck-deep involvement in all those activities - while still a teenage


Goodness, that's crazy.  Sounds like a brutal movie in the Detroit black underworld.


Taking its title from the nickname bestowed on the younger Wershe by some members of Detroit's black underworld, "White Boy Rick" covers a span of only three to four years


Have you watched the movie Black Panther?


That would be a horror movie indeed, it would ruin the childhood of many kids lol,its a good thing Marvel wasnt sold to him.


There have been many Spidermans, but Michael Jackson really would not be right for the role. Maybe he could have played Blue Ear, the character created for the 4-year-old boy uncomfortable with wearing hearing aids.


I think thats really admirable, creating a superhero for a kid with dissabilities, I wonder what new projects Disney has with Marvel


Probably a ton of sequels, maybe a new character. Black Panther could have a dozen sequels before Disney quits. Kendrick Lamar has job security.


Yeah, Black Panther was a really popular movie and I wouldnt be suprised if more sequels were to come out, so chaging the subject a bit, what kind of music do you like, heard any good albums lately?


I don't really listen to new music much. The industry has changed and so have tasts. I think bands have a tricky relationship with the rock press. Zeppelin did not give a name to their fourth album in order to confuse the press.


I bet that confused a lot of people lol, my favorite band is Linking Park and one of their albums is considered the best selling album of the century


I know that Linkin Park did a lot of touring. Very popular live band. They might have made more money from touring than album sales. I know that Aerosmith made more money from the game Guitar Hero than from album sales.


That is surprising! I wonder if the game paid extremely well or the band sign really bad deals for their albums.


They probably got a good royalty from the games company. Musicians probably get better money from games. Michael Jackson contributed to the soundtrack for Sonic 3.


No, I haven't seen it. Have you seen it? Is it a good film?


I wonder what his contribution was, Spielberg also contributed in the soundtrack of Jaws, he played the clarinet!!


I liked it a lot, I thought it had a great soundtrack as well. Most Marvel universe movies are pretty good


You know there was a time when Marvel offered the rights to their characters to Sony but they only bought the rights for Spiderman


Sony just didn't recognize the value of so many of the characters. The Marvel Universe is huge. It's interesting that Marvel trademarked the names "super-hero" and "super villain."


It is interesting, you know that there is also a shared hero between the DC and Marvel universes.


Many people have strong preferences about the two universes, but I don't. Usually I'm not big on superhero films, though I understand the attraction for comic book fans.


Im more of a Marvel fan myself, the brand saved a lot of money by alleging that mutants werent humans, I bet that idea made them millions.


Speaking of aliens, Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel at one point so that he could produce a movie of himself as Spiderman.


Do you like birds?  I love watching them!


I can't dance but wish I could.  Tupac danced ballet in high school and ended up portraying the mouse king in the Nutcracker!


That's pretty impressive! Bruce Lee was also evidently a pretty good dancer. He won the Hong Kong Cha-Cha Championship in 1958!


Wow.  I had no idea he danced but I can see that going hand in hand with the karate moves.


Most definitely. Did you know babies spontaneously dance when they hear music? I guess we as humans appreciate rhythm regardless of age!


I didn't know that.  Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week.  That could get expensive!


Definitely! Though I can imagine why, standing on your tip-toes so frequently with all of your body weight must be extremely taxing on shoes!


Ouch!  That's all I'll say.  I would have broken toes.  Michael Jackson has a patent on a device that was used to help him achieve the extreme lean in some of his dance moves.


I did back in the day.  The 3 best selling videogames of all time are Tetris, Minecraft, and Wii sports.  I had fun chatting with you!


You, too! I may go play some tetris, but that whole phenomenon of blocks falling in my sleep if I play too long freaks me out!


I do, too! So many of them are beautiful, and even the ones that aren't are still incredibly unique. They can be anywhere between 2 inches or 9 feet!


I think it's incredible how easily they can fly.  It's probably because their bones are so hollow that the entire skeleton weighs less than the feathers!


Probably! Did you know one of the smallest birds, a hummingbird, will actually steal spider webs construct and repair their nests?


That's funny!  There are wild birds in Australia that can mimic the sound of cameras, car alarms, and chainsaws. That could get noisey!


Wow. I wonder if they're in the parrot family or if other birds outside of the parrot family can mimic sounds like that?


That's a good possibility!  The extinct dodo bird is actually a sub family of pigeon.  Interesting.


That is interesting! Can you believe there are some birds that will migrate all the way from Alaska to Mexico without sleeping?


That's pretty incredible!  Do you like to dance?


Only if I've had a couple of drinks, but I respect the art form absolutely. How about you?


I had no idea but I believe it.  lol  Do you like cats?


I do like cats. I don't have any right now but I used to. Do you have any?


We only have an outside cat right now.  Used to have 2 indoor ones years ago.  There are cat cafes in Japan and Taiwan!  People pay hourly to play with cats and have drinks. lol


I think that's funny. I mean, I have had free cats and those people pay to do what I did for free!


lol Right?  The cat in the Godfather 1 opening scene was a stray cat that was found on the set.  Interesting!


I wonder if they would have had a cat in it if the stray hadn't shown up.  Have you heard about that town in alaska that has a cat for it's mayor?


I haven't heard about that.  Where is that at? lol


Apparently it's the town of Talkeetna in alaska.  They have had a cat called Stubbs as their mayor since 1997!


That's awesome.  I had a cat named Stubbs when I was in high school.  He was born with a little nub for a tail and that's why we named him Stubbs.  lol  I've had fun chatting with you!


i wonder if that's why this cat is called Stubbs!  oh hey, before you go, I've got one more cat oddity.  There's a physicist that listed his cat as a coauthor on something he published.  He did it so he could write using first person plural without someone criticizing him. Seems like they'd criticize him for the cat coauthor instead though!


I like them a little bit.  Do you like the Simpsons?


That is awesome! lol  Hope you have a great day!


I do!  Did you know that there is only 1 episode where Bart neither appears or is mentioned?


No I had no idea but it makes sense. I mean, he is the star, right?


I think so...either him or Homer.  lol  Did you ever watch "that 70s show"?


I have watched a few of those episodes.  That's the one with Ashton Kutcher, right?


Yes.  They redid it in the UK and called it "Days like These" but it was cancelled after 1o episodes.


Really? I wonder why.  Speaking of shows, have you ever watched any pokemon?


I've seen it while it was on in the house.  Our family loves Pokemon. lol


Our's too. Did you know that there are over 750 episodes of it?


I thought that was cool too. They keep playing until ten players have been dismissed, then the innings end and they sway roles. That 14 day game must have been exhausting for the players. They probably had extra players coming in from each side to pull that off.


They must have been.  I think it is interesting that the game of cricket spread globally when the British Empire expanded.


I think a game close to Cricket is played in most other countries except the US where football reigns in the sports arena as the national pastime.


Football is extremely popular in America which is probably why those with successful careers in sports are often associated with celebrity status.


Yes, that's certainly true. Celebrity status is often associated with wealth referred to as fame and fortune, while fame more often provides opportunities to earn revenue. Football certainly lends itself well to that aforementioned celebrity status.


I think it is interesting that as popular as football is that LeBron James is the highest paid celebrity followed by Judge Judy,


Agree on that, too. Judge Judy makes $123,000 an episode. Wow, I wonder just how much Lebron James rakes in then?


Right!  I can't believe that.  Celebrities also get special perks like a secret room at Pixar studio that they can visit.  I wonder if Judge Judy or Lebron James ever visits there.


Good question. They both have probably been there!  Celebrity status gives many perks that common people would never know about.  I know that Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street. I bet that was a real honor for Elmo and the rest of the gang!


Yes.  She is pretty funny.  Speaking of funny actors, Robin Williams started the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films in Aladdin.


Hello.  I think Cricket is interesting although I have never played.  I think it is one of the only games I can think of that has 11 players on a field at a time.


Yes, he was such a funny guy. Other countries also have celebrities too. Ethiopia has a celebrity chef who thinks he can combat his country's hunger problems by encouraging everyone to eat more diverse foods.


Yes, sounds interesting that the players of the batting side score runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat while the bowling and fielding side try to prevent this and dismiss each player so that they are 'out'.


That is interesting. I meant to say that each team has 11 players on the field at a time.  I didn't know there was International Cricket Council.  Did you?


Yeah, I heard about that.  I also heard that there's an all US born Cricket team from Compton that won the British cup twice.


That is awesome!  It seems like Australia does very well in cricket considering they have won 45% of all world cups.


Not only that but the Australians have also appeared in 63% of all finals and have won 71% of their final appearances.


I had heard that somewhere.  However, apparently both England and Australia had diplomatic consequences for using nasty tactics against history's best cricket player.  It sounds like this game can get serious.


Apparently, it can get nasty and go for a really long time as well. The longest match in the history of cricket was in 1939 England playing against South Africa that took part in a single match that lasted 14 days.


That would be a really long match.  I wonder if people stayed to watch.  Some cricket players have interesting names like the professional Indian cricket player Napoleon Einstein.


I know right!  Probably after a few years they developed a working system or a program.


Yeah that is a high possibility too. Do you know when the World Series was founded?


It was founded in 1903 and at that time even the ottoman empire was in existence still


Interesting.  did you know the chicago cubs were the first team to win back to back world series?


Yes they were but then they were cursed or something because they have not won anymore since then


I hear they actually did win again,  in 2016.


Oh right when they had that huge celebration with 5 million people out in the streets


Yes,  the largest gathering of humans in history!!


That is pretty impressive. Did you know the Cubs are one of the oldest teams in MLB?


You bet. Do you know why the managers wear a uniform?


I did not! Thats cool.  ITs been great talking to you.


I believe its because they are able to play in the game if needed. Thats kinda cool,  I hope they never have to though.


Yeah it is pretty cool. I wonder if they do that more in Japan where they take the game more seriously


I hear that they are surprised to know that baseball is an american thing lol


Yeah it seems so. Do you know who used to do the scheduling for the major league games?


Not sure,  who?  A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in an attic!!  lucky guy!


Yeah that is amazing. It was a couple who did it for 24 years in a row


Wow, the must really love baseball!  That is a lot of time dedicated to the sport,  that is really sweet that they had something they were both passionate about though.


Exactly because scheduling 2430 games every year is no easy feat


Im one of those as well lol, did you hear about that whopper promotion on Burger King?


I wish I had heard while it was going on as I would have happily unfriended 10 people for a free Whopper. That is an easy deal to me! Ha!


I know right I could easily delete 50 people and get a free whooper every day lol


No kidding! Well speaking of Facebook, can you believe MySpace rejected an offer to buy Facebook back in 2005 for $75 million? Oh, what might have been!


I bet they regret that decision big time, Facebook is worth more than $104 billions by now and MySpace is almost gone.


That was truly a big mistake on MySpace's part, wasn't it? Something else I find crazy is the like button is illegal over in Schleswig-Holstein. I wonder why it is illegal?


That is a good question, why make the like button illegal in the town doesnt make sense at all, do you know why Facebook is blue?


I heard it's because Mark Zuckerberg is red/green colorblind. Hey, since Zuckerberg is technically a celebrity, do you think he's ever visited Pixar's secret room?


I have no clue but my best guess is that he did visit the secret room. Such a mysterious place.


Indeed it is! Are you also a fan of Sesame Street? I can't believe of all the celebrities out there, Carol Burnett was the first to appear on the show!


Hi! I do, actually! And I'm also not a member of the 7% of the population that reads the full terms before buying stuff online, sadly. What about you?


I loved that show, my favorite growing up. It was great chatting with you thanks for your time.


Indeed it was! Another favorite of mine is Judge Judy. Speaking of her, she also happens to be the highest paid celebrity behind LeBron. She makes $123k per episode! That is crazy, isn't it? Well it was great chatting with you as well! Hope you have a nice evening, friend!


$123k per episode! woah that is so much money I guess many celebrities earn lots of money seems a bit unfair but nothing we can do, I hope you have a nice evening as well good bye friend.


Im part of the other 93% lol, who has the time to read them right?


Exactly! I just hope we're not signing our lives away. Ha! Well speaking of the internet, did you know Mt. Everest's peak has internet capabilities and 3G cell service? It's like how and why? Ha!


I  didnt know that, that is impressive maybe so that people can take selfies and post them once they reach the top?


Who knows, honestly! Something else I find fascinating is the Library of Alexandria saved a copy of the internet in case it ever burns. Can you imagine how massive that copy must be?


I guess thats a good thing, having a copy stored just in case, can you imagine life without internet?


I couldn't, honestly! I would especially miss the three horizontal line menu on websites and apps known as the hamburger button.


That sounds like a tasty button lol, I love hamburgers, do you have a Facebook account by the way?


I am proud to say that I am one of the 2.2 billion monthly active users on the American online social media company known as Facebook! Ha! How about you?


The moon is an amzaing astronomical body that orbits our planet, its beautifull!!


Hello - what do you like to do for entertainment?


That's funny. And Bill Nye made it into the entertainment industry by winning a steve martin lookalike contest!


Oh wow interesting. I think if I played football I would want to be the quarterback. I would want to call plays in the huddle!


Oh cool - the huddle was created by Paul d. Hubbard. He was deaf. He used the huddle so that others teams couldn't read his hand signals!


That's a cool origin story of the huddle! The QB Alex Smith got his degree in 2 years in college because he took so many AP classes!


That's pretty impressive. Kellan moore is the only left-handed QB in the NFL.


Oh wow. Yeah now that I think of it all QB's are right handed. Tom Brady's highschool had a bad season when they never won a game or score a touchdown. Brady was the back up and he didn't even play! Hard to believe.


Yeah that is hard to believe - look at him now.


Football is a tough game. They play for 17 weeks straight with only one week off during the season.


Yeah it is - I could never do it. Well it has been nice talking to you - have a good day!


Hi yes I love entertainment! I like the NFL it's as good entertainment as it gets! The NFL has no written rule against girls playing!


That's pretty cool. I wonder if a woman will join soon. Pretty crazy the average game has only 11 minutes of live gameplay.


Yeah that is surprising...Football players actually don't make all that much money. Over the course of a lifetime, engineers make more!


Yeah that is also surprising. And the NFL uses tracking chips on the players and the footballs.


Oh that's cool. Hopefully to get information on how to protect players more. It is kind of interesting the New Orleans Saints cheerladers can't eat at the same restaurant as the players.


Yeah that is kind of a silly rule I think.


Agreed. I also like to play video games and I used to have the original NES Nintendo. It only could display 54 colors but it impressed me!


The NES was discontinued in 2003 in Japan. I liked playing the NES also, I still have mine.


That's awesome! Ronald Reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment exec said he didn't look presidential. Little did he know...


Nice I want to get more on ebay, I will check those out. I heard it was an insane deal, but now he is broke and has to wait for like 30+ million at 55


I wonder if Reebok makes that much off him each year?


Probably not anymore lol, I haven't seen a good reebok shoe since he was playing. Good deal for him I guess, I wouldn't mind making 800000 a year to not play anymore!


I agree, I think Reebok was hoping he would be the next Jordan.


That is true and would have paid big bucks and made more. At least they had iverson once


Air Jordan's were banned upon introduction by the NBA. Jordan wore them anyways as Nike was willing to pay the fine each game. I think that deal paid off.


for sure lol, they made big bucks in return for paying that fine, do you know how much per game it was?


I believe it was $5,000 per game if I'm not mistaken.


Nice! That is easy money for Nike. Jordan was basically free advertisement almost! It was so nice chatting with you!


I agree he was, I wonder if they still make money off of him even though Jordan brand is separate?


I am sure they have a contract or something in the fine print. Have a great night, watch some NBA tonight :D


I love the NBA, I loved Tim Duncan and the spurs back in the day, do you have a favorite team?


I used to like the Spurs, I liked that Tim Duncan sacrificed money and stayed in college for four years instead of directly going to the NBA.


That is what I heard, I think it was his grandmothers dying wish. What a guy!


I agree, another great player was Reggie Miller, he was a force on the Pacers team back in the day.


For sure, I still remember his game against the knicks! I heard once he scored 40 in high school and bragged about it, just to find out his sister scored 105 point!


That's got to be a bummer, but his sister was a good player and a really good coach, so he shouldn't bee to ashamed about it. Heck she even broke 8 national records in that game.


for sure, she was amazing. I did like allen iverson back in the day too, i had all his shoes!


I had the first two. The Questions, and The Answer. I heard he signed a lifetime endorsement contract with Reebok in 2001 that would pay him $800,000 a year until he's 55.


Did you hear what happened with the legislator from Minnesota?


Yeah along with Mark Zuckerberg was Eduardo Saverine and others, it was first intended for Harvard students and then it got expanded.


I didn't realize it got its name from the face book directories given to US university students.


Sometimes simple names are just better, did you hear about that Burger King promotion?


Yeah that's crazy. I bet that could cause quite a stir among Facebook friends and all over a free whopper. :)


Its not a harmless promotion, but who cares its a free whopper lol


Yeah, did you know Facebook makes most if its money from ads that appear onscreen?


I didnt but it makes sense, they do make a lot of money out of advertisements- do you know why Facebook is primarily blue?


Yes because Zuckerberg suffers from red-green colorblindness. I didn't even know there was such a thing.


Yeah, I though it was because of marketing strategy or something like that, well blue is a great color


Did you ever use Myspace? They turned down an offer to buy facebook back in 2005.


I hadn't until today. Allegations like that can sure change your career path. Not surprised no charges were filed though.


I did, I had a Myspace account around that time, I bet they are regretting that decision now.


Yeah, if your own daughter accuses you of that then that means something, he must be guilty and if his not guilty people wont vote for him after that


However I have personally known a family where the daughter made similar allegations because she didn't like her parents telling her what she could and couldn't do and it sure made a huge mess. Situations like that really mess up a family though.


I agree, of course Jim Knoblach denied the accusations, he said she was trying to end his campaign, but she ended up ruining his reputation


True! Are you into social media like Facebook?


I am, I am a subscriber since the year 2011, what about you? do you  have Facebook


yes I have been since 2008 but I think I prefer instagram


I prefer Instagram as well, its  a lot more simpler than Facebook, but I guess Facebook is worth a lot more like $104 billion by now


Yeah and to think it was started by some Harvard college students.


Hey have you ever seen the movie Halloween? Or even the newest one with Jamie Lee Curtis


Well that's really good for him! Do you think that horror movies actually burn almost 200 calories per movie? If so I should watch more to lose weight LOL


I wonder if the effect wears off. No surprise, no tension. I would rather exercise. By the way, do you like horses?


No I don't like horses I'm actually allergic to them LOL and apparently so is Clint Eastwood


I have never ridden a horse. I would like to. Is it hard? I figure you have to take lessons or something.


Yeah you do have to learn, it's actually very uncomfortable even in a saddle, I think it's cool that Dalmatians were used with firehouses in order to calm the horses back before fire trucks


I've heard that the dogs were deaf. I wonder if that's true.


I think some Dalmatians are born deaf but not all of them are, what do you think about the high school students who rode horses to school? The high school had a no vehicle policy at the time, and so they rode horses instead lol


I think they were cheeky for doing so, but I admire their chutzpah.


Yep I can admire that, I would never have done that as a kid haha. It's interesting that Clint Eastwood was not always allergic to horses but developed it once he hit midlife


I don't think I have an allergy to them. Anyway, great chat!


I have not. I like her. But I don't really like horror films. Have you?


Well don't spend too much time around horses just in case you develop a allergy to them LOL I wish I didn't have the allergy


No I saw the original one but I didn't see the newest one, my friend side and said it was really bad so I wanted to see your opinion


Ok, I do like SOME horror, but I usually pick and choose. I liked The Shining, The Omen, The Exorcist. Rosemary's Baby. What about you?


Yeah those are all good movies. I also liked Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. The new Halloween note took in about $89 in only 3 days, so it was definitely popular


I haven't seen those. I think that remakes are risky. The comparisons are inevitable.


Yep it's always hard to beat the original. And yes the new Halloween movie is actually being released on the 40th anniversary of the release of the first one


I would rather watch the original. It probably has charm. The new one is probably too slick.


Yeah I think the original is going to be the best. Did you know that Stephen King actually thinks that the movie Bambi should be a horror movie?


He was traumatized as a child. That movie did have death, so it could be scary. Anyway, he turned his trauma into a career.


I would not have done with Duncan did. I would have played right away. Too much money at stake. College can wait.


Yeah but sometimes people never go back. You hear about players going bankrupt after retiring and it just seems like a good idea to have that degree to fall back on.  Even with Allen Iverson's money and contract a player could still mismanage money.


I don't know if a degree is going to help a former NBA player if all they know is ball. They should get a degree in managing money though.


Lol, that would probably be a good idea!  NBA players are the world's best paid athletes so knowing how to handle all of that money would be highly important.


They get used to the money flowing in. They can't imagine a day when it doesn't. Not everyone gets a shoe deal.


Speaking of shoes, did you know that ballet dancers go through up to four pair a week?


Ballet is tough on the feet. I figure that I would probably break my ankles before I went through a pair.


It is pretty tough for sure.  Maybe they should use old shoes.  I've heard that shoes from back like 5000 years ago are better able to perform than today's shoes.


I'm not surprised. Things had to last back then. I wonder what they did about the smell though.


You know I hadn't thought about that!  i guess there would be a smell considering what they were probably made of.  It's funny too because today's shoes  are supposed to be made with better materials, especially high end shoes, and yet they aren't as good.


Hi, I am doing well. How are you doing?  Do you watch any basketball?  Did you know it was invented by a man named James Naismith?


As did i. oh and for that smell, put some tea bags in those shoes!


Yes, a Canadian named Naismith. He was a losing coach at Kansas.


I've heard that before! It is so shocking to think that the man who invented the game could not win at it!


He started a game that has evolved tremendously. I doubt he made any money like people do today.


He probably didn't.  I imagine no one has had a contract like player allen iverson.  He got a contract with reebok to make $800,000 per year until he turns 55 and then a final payment of $32,000,000.


I guess he must be worth that much to the brand. Kids buy the kicks and Reebok gets rich. With that money, he could buy part of a team.


I bet he could.  It's great advertising to be a part of basketball.  Just look at nike.  The NBA banned air jordan shoes but Michael Jordan wore them anyway and Nike payed a fine per game.  Now those shoes are super expensive and super popular.


Fines create controversy, which generates interest and revenue. Smart business by Nike.


It totally agree.  Nike probably loved the banning of their shoes.  They've made a ton of money since.  You know though, it shouldn't all be about money and I respect people that understand that.  Take Tim Duncan for example, he held off joining the nba in order to get his degree.


Me either. There was a janitor in Chicago that wrote a 15,145 page fantasy manuscript.


that is a labor of love. i wonder if it is a good story. i bet it was a good escape from the grind of being a janitor.


I never saw the movie. That is the one with gal gadot?


Yes. It is the highest grossing superhero origin movie.


Wow, i guess i should see it then! I usually dont go to superhero films because they have a lot of CG effects. not much story.


Me either. When Wonder Woman first appeared as a member of the Justice Society, the group had made her secretary.


That is so amazingly sexist, but i am not surprised. what else would she do? in those days women got stuck with those jobs.


I do like cars. I dont have one at the moment. Do you?


I dont. i dont really understand them. do you play?


I love cars as well. Well, it was good talking to you. Have a great day.


I play fantasy football. Did you know there is a fantasy national spelling bee?


i am not surprised. is there a way to make money off it? then people will play.


Yes, you can make money off of it. There's actually a fantasy congress where you draft congressmen and points are based off legislative success.


That is great! usually i find politics boring. maybe if there were money in it, i would pay attention! LOL


Haha. Did you know a single fold in the brain makes the difference between reality and fantasy?


I wonder if people ever have trouble with that fold. some people seem to have trouble maintaining the distinction.


Possibly. Terry Pratchett was knighted for his services to literature.


I havent read his stuff. i know that he is quite popular and humorous.


I read about a crazy woman who killed someone because the other driver was too slow.


I see.  I thought it was Ford, a US car manufacturer.  I guess I was wrong.


It may have been. I live in Ohio, and never realized that it was illegal to warm up my car in the winter.


Is there such a law in Ohio? That is a strange law.  Tell me more about.


Do you know which phone manufacturer it is, that hires the London Symphony Orchestra to record ringtones?


No, I do not know.  But I know why New York chose 212 as their area code.


That's the quickest number to dial. New Yorkers are always in a hurry.


How could they be so lucky to get that number?


I'm sure there was a bribe in there somewhere. Dolphins can recognize another dolphin when communicating by phone.


It is. I like these kinds of trivia. Just like the Actress, Hedy Lamarr helped invent wifi, cellphones and gps


Is that the lady who got road rage simply because she wanted to make her car payment?


Okay.  Those were amusing facts.  I have to run.  Nice chatting with you.


Yes.  That was a strange road-rage incident.


Maybe she needs one of Google's self-driving cars, as they have an aggressive mode.


That was funny.  She pleaded not guilty -  due to what?  Insanity?


Most likely. People are crazy.  I was reading about the man in New York who bought a property that had a barn full of classic cars. That would be heaven for us.


Do you think the seller was unwell just like that woman who ran over another driver because she wanted to make a car payment?


I think she just snapped. It happens. Mine would be from not realizing there was an icon on next to the pump symbol, that tells which side your gas tank is on.


You would not snap like that woman though.  Which country created the first car?  Was it US or Germany?


I don't know if I would, or if I wouldn't. The mind is a mysterious place. I think it the inventor Karl Benz, who was German


I guess it is not all about money, Tim Duncan stayed and in college for 4 years when he could have went direct.


He was a tremendous player for the Spurs.  "The Big Fundamental!"


Not as easy as Kareem!  He actually got the dunk shot banned from college basketball for over a decade!


They could try granny style which is actually the most effective shot.


NBA players refuse to go with granny style because it looks stupid.


Well im sure James naismith would be ok with it, the inventor of the game,


Kind of funny, Naismith is the only losing coach in the history of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball program!


Well he probably got paid though.  In most of the 50 states, a college coach is the highest paid state employee


There is definitely no shortage of money in basketball.  Lebron James is the highest paid celebrity in the world right now.


Hey there!  I love the NBA!  I am a big basketball fan so I definitely love the premier league in the world!


Dang..I thought it was a soccer player.  Anyway, nice chat take care.


Yes!  It was known as the BAA for the first three years before they adopted the NBA name in 1949.


Yes, headquartered in New York.  They probably had a lot of street ball before professional.


I am sure!  Street ball makes me think of Allen Iverson.  He was so fun to watch.  He still gets 800k a year from the contract he signed with Reebok in 2001!


An a final lump payment of 32 million at age 55


Must be nice!  Speaking of shoes, it seems insane that Air Jordan's were once banned in the NBA!!


He wore them anyway since Nike paid the fine!


Jordan was offered a contract by Adidas, but eventually took the Nike offer.  Now the Air Jordan brand is worth more than the entire company of Adidas.  So crazy!


It was a great time for Basketball indeed, you know that the Air Jordans got banned at some point


I didn't know that. Was it because too many young people were fighting over them in schools? That would be my guess as to why.


Could be or maybe they gaved the player an unfair advantage, fact is Nike didnt care about the fine and they paid it every time Jordan used them.


My mistake, I didn't read that part of the article until I had posted my statement. I'm thinking it was a legal issue now.


Yeah but you could be right, maybe it was because people fought over the shoes and they got banned, it kind of makes sense do you know who Tim Duncan is?


I have definitely heard of Tim Duncan, but I didn't know that he decided to stay in college for the full 4 years instead of going directly to the nba.


He did, I think that was a great choice although he sure lost a lot of money because of that decision.


Maybe but its better to have an education as a foundation especially if you're going into sports.


I agree, you can then invest your earnings in a better way, you know that granny style is the best way to shoot but players dont do it because it kind of looks stupid


That's what physicists say apparently.  I think its interesting that Manhattan's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone. In New York, 212 is the "posh" area code.


Yes, I do tend to like instrumental jazz. I think that its interesting that jazz started in New Orleans.


That makes sense now, 212 alwayas seemed to be a bit random to me, you know that Unicef donates water for every minute we dont use our cellphones


That's interesting. I wonder how they're able to verify that we're not using our phones.


I wonder that as well, it seems like a hard thing to do but I think its noble they provide children with clean water, Unicef is one of my favorite charities.


I didn't know that an iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent.  Thats not a comforting thought, but it does show how far our technology has come.


A lot of power in our pockets, I guess that is a big advantage and makes me kind of worried because of our nuclear icbm deterrent network, it must be upgraded for sure.


Yeah I think it was about the 19th or the beggining of the 20th century, a long history of great music.


I think what makes jazz unique is that it is truly American music, or "America's classical music" as the article calls it.


I agree also the African American roots makes this genre really special, you know Jazz players grow goatees because it provided them with comfort


I didn't know that the NBA was founded in 1946.


Its been more than 70 years now! I though it was an older sport, out of the 30 teams do you have a favorite one?


I'm not really a sports person, but I do know the names of the popular ones, like the LA Lakers and the Chicago Bulls, but because I'm a New Yorker I guess the New York Knicks is my default favorite team.


I see, I like the Lakers, I dont really like basketball that much I used to follow Michal Jordan back in the day


Yes, I remember that era well. My dad used to watch a lot of basketball in those days, though I think he's not really a basketball person. He just liked watching it on television.


I wonder too. Did you know they have five to seven gill slits on the side?


Yes and they are huge. Do you like colorful clothing?


I do just like the pilgrims. Do you know when they wear black clothing?


Yeah that is only reserved for special occassions


Yeah. Do you know how people in fashion can tell if you need your clothes tailored?


Yes they look for collar gaps in clothes


Yeah. In ALabama there is a sotre that sells stuff lost at airports


Nice I guess you can find some odd things there


Yeah. Did you know Apple had a clothing line?


Yes that was back in 1986 but not sure what happened to it


Yes I do. DId you know that they do not have rib cages?


Yes so on land their body mass would crush them


Yeah. And they are good at rescuing sailors as well


Yeah they are like dolphins in that sense


Yeah. ANd they are super old, came before trees and dinosaurs


Yeah, Have you heard of the which sharks cafe?


It is a place in the pacific where the sharks get together


Yeah Did you know you can train them to bark like dogs?


That is so cool, wonder how they figured that out


Both, I'm happy with Prime but my wife wants certain shows on Netflix.  I'm glad I cut cable, saves a lot each month.


Nice, well apparently if you work in an Amazon warehouse, you walk between 7 and 15 miles each day!


That should keep someone slim.  Despite being high tech they still need people to just walk.  It's amazing to think they were just a book seller about 20 years back.


Yeah, it is crazy that the company has blown up like this. Were you a fan of the show House?


Same as with other shows, a couple of seasons and then I only watched it because my wife likes Hugh Laurie.


Yeah, I liked the first season of House, but it got repetitive to me. Did you know he made $700,000 per episode?


That's a good chunk of change.  I've seen him in a few things since but not that regularly.  Probably sitting at home counting his dollars.


Yeah, I think he still acts though. Did you know Michael Caine became an actor because he was chasing girls?


At least he's honest.  Speaking of honesty, I think my wife only like these shows because of the actors.  Mad Men and Jon Hamm,  House and Hugh Laurie, Walking Dead because of Andrew somebody, I forget.


Hilarious! Well, did you know all of the roads in Japan are tolls?


No, but I hear it was made by the same creator who made Mad Men, is it any good?


I guess I'd have to be like those Amazon workers and walk everywhere.


Yeah, me too. That seems absurd. Well nice chatting with you!


I've seen one.  It was fairly good but long.  About an hour and a half, basically a movie.


Yeah, that is a long time, how many episodes are in one season?


Not sure, I'd assume six.  Not seen another as I never seem to have enough time.  We watched it because my wife loved Mad Men.


I watched a few seasons of Mad Men, but like all other shows I watch like that I lose interest after about the 3rd season.


I'm the same with most dramas on T.V., they lose ideas after a few seasons and become repetitive.  My wife still watches Walking Dead but I usually fall asleep about half way through.


Yeah, Me TOO! I stopped after season 2, it started getting pointless to me.


Do you still use cable, or do you have one of those streaming services like Amazon Prime, or Netflix?


I have amazon prime. I just canceled my Netflix. What about you?


I forget is mars' gravity greater or less?


Well, I don't know about that. I do know that the atmosphere is thin, and because of that, sounds on Mars have a high pitch than they do on Earth. Funny, huh?


I want to see the sun from mars. i heard it is blue due to atmospheric scattering


Wow! I didn't know that. If you fly to Mars under constant 1g acceleration, it will only take 2 or 3 days to get there! You can go check it out!


Perhaps in the next few decades, going to mars will be a viable option as a vaction


There is a project planned to colonize mars in 2023. Do you know how they'll fund it?


I think they tried to fund it by making a reality tv show. I think they recently ended that attempt


Interesting. I know lichens and cyanobacteria would be able to thrive on Mars, but I'm not so sure about humans!


Who knows maybe if we flew them to mars, new life would evolve there


Maybe some day we'll find out! At least we know it's a terrestrial planet!


I love working on my car. Did you know cars have only been widely available since the early 20th century?


Indeed. Anyway, it was my pleasure to chat with you.


I mean ever since ford created the assembly line


Yeah! The Ford Model T was one of the first cars that were accessible to the masses!


They were adopted rapidly in the United States, but in Western Europe and other parts of the world it took a lot longer for cars to be accepted. I guess they liked their animal drawn carriages and carts!


There is even an island that bans motor vehicles


Interesting! I guess they don't have any McDonald's drive-thrus there. Did you know those were added in 1975 to accommodate soliders who were not allowed ot get out of their cars while wearing their fatigues!


In any case, cars are amazing. Our entire infrastructure is designed to accommodate them.


On Earth it sure is. But what happens if we move to the "Red Planet" of Mars?!


I don't think so! Are you a fan of South Park? I've never seen it.


It's a television show that features characters and storylines. Sometimes celebrities are mocked for their failures. I saw the first episode, then never watched it again. Too much poo.


I heard they aired their episode finale and got flowers from the Simpsons crew, guess they're well respected.


I think they liked the fact the SP was making fun of another show. Are you a fan of Elvis Aaron Presley?


I am somewhat! I think it's interesting that his hair was actually blonde, he dyed it black.


I guess he thought it looked better that way. What class did he fail? He failed "Irony."


Oh so did he fail music? That really is ironic. Although he clearly established himself eventually. His daughter even, has been married to both Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage.


That's interesting! I wonder where she met MJ. On tour?


I wonder too! Nevertheless they're both respected. Freddie Mercury even wrote a song as a tribute for Elvis.


I didn't hear Elvis in that Queen song. I guess Freddie had his own ideas about homage.


On the other hand, Kurt Russell had his own interpretation too, he voiced Elvis in Forrest Gump. Anyways, it was nice chatting with you, have a good night!


Ahah that's funny. I'm all about TV, I really like the Simpsons. I just saw an episode without Bart, I think it's the only one ever.


He must have gone on strike to get higher pay or something. That's what those TV people are all about anyway.


I bet, at least he has job security. Just like the people on the show Pokemon, they've had over 750 episodes!


I guess there must be a ton of interesting storylines for Pokemon! I don't know if I could contain myself and all the excitement!


I'm sure there are, there would have to be. On the other hand, the 70's show was remade in the UK but got canceled after 10 episodes. Must have definitely lacked interesting storylines.


I think it probably didn't translate to a different culture.


That's possible. A lot of universal celebrities do voice acting though. Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin have both narrated Thomas the Tank engine episodes.


Yeah, they have distinctive voices. Has Ringo been on South Park yet?


Naming a cloned cat "copy cat", that's cute.


I wonder if the immortal jellyfish needs protecting... being immortal and all.


Lol...speaking of water animals, did you know that hiccoughs are a left over from evolution when we had gills?


Maybe that connection is part of why 84% of human disease genes have counterparts in zebrafish, too... hmm.


Hmm? Good theory. Seeing that the most popular pets are cats and dogs it is no surprise that they are commonly used for therapy in hospitals.


Well, they are good at helping people adjust to new situations, too.


Yes, like for elderly who are without companions.


Or people with anxiety and depression, or kids with autism.


Yes, a seahorse wouldn't be very good for that purpose. Did you know seahorses are the only fish with a neck?


I don't think a black swallower fish would be good as a companion pet either because it can eat prey twice its length!


That would freak me out! But I bet it catches that prey using its acoustic communication!


You must have ESP. I was going to tell you teh same thing! I have a sad story to tell there are less tigers living in the wild in Asia than as pets in the US.


Could be. Fish are cool like that. I think it's neat that amphibians and reptiles and birds and mammals all had the same ancestry with fish.


I wonder if reptiles are considered ectothermic like most fish?


That would be a good thing to know, especially because some of them make good pets.


Yep, but I don't know if walking a gecko would give the same health benefits as walking a dog


Probably not. Dog walking is good because it gives companionship and exercise at the same time.


Hey, did you know the first marine predator was the shark? They developed in the Silurian period.


Very interesting. I wonder how many aquatic species have gone extinct since then...


Or have evolved into other species. The shark has a higher core temperature than other fish because it is an active swimmer.


That makes sense. I always thought sharks were pretty interesting because they have cartilage instead of bone.


Yes, fascinating fact! Tuna also hold a higher core temperature. They are in the same class as shark because they are also active swimmers.


Tuna can get quite large, too. It's cool how big some fish get.


One more before we go...did you know domesticated animals develop a white patch on their forehead?


Yeah. that is a pretty cool way to know they are domesticated rather than wild.


Very cool chatting with you. Did you know there are 6331 groups of genes? They are common to all living animals!


It was a cool exercise in zoology chatting with you.


Of Roosevelt's 20 pets two were a bear and hyena!


Whoa, cool! I know he seemed to be quite the animal lover.


And there are more pets in Japan than there are children under 15. You can't be a pets "OWNER" in Boulder but you can be their guardian.


I have a pet. I am an ailurophile meaning I love cats.


Cool word! Did you know there are 20 quintillion animal varieties on Earth?


That is a lot! And in 2002 Germany gave them legal rights.


Yeah, and the Loch Ness monster is protected under the 1912 Scottish Animal Protection Act.


I listen to streaming radio like spotify and Pandora but I would listen to it if it came from Jupiter!


I've heard that Jupiter does have radio storms that can be heard on an AM radio.


Crazy considering how far it is from Earth.  Canadians would tune in as long as 40% of the content is Canadian.


There's even a site where people can listen to classic radio dramas for free.


I would listen too. It was clever of WWII soldiers to use pencils and razor blades to make foxhole radios.


Pretty amazing. Have you ever listened to albums? I remember all the old vinyl.


I did!  Mostly on tape, CD and now streaming though.


It is still hard to process the idea that radio waves travel through space.


Not at all, but I know a lot about it. Did you know Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and George Strait are cousins?


Wow, I didnt.  Strait had a chance to be the weatlthiest man then if he invested in Bezos


I would think.Hard to believe U2 played as country music stars opening up for themselves in 1987 as The Dalton Brothers.


Oh wow.  I heard they wore wigs and costumes too?


Yes, they played fully disguised. Country music got some financial support from Henry Ford to help it become more popular.


Speaking of cars, the fender stratocaster was made for country music


Interesting. I know country music took its roots from genres such as folk music.


Yes, the folk music of working class americans which is why I like it so much


So do you listen to it on the radio or do you listen to albums?


hi, do you have a favorite piece of clothing?


Yeah look at where he has gotten. do you know alex smith?


Never met the guy. Is he a friend of yours?


nope he is a famous quarterback who finished university on only two years


Bright guy. Do you know the origin of the huddle? Paul D. Hubbard created the huddle in today's football. Reason: he  was a deaf quarterback. He didn't want the other team to read his hand signals.


That is so creative, served two purposes. Yeah ALex took so many ap tetst that when he entered university they bumped him to junior


I wonder whether he got an athletic or scholastic scholarship.


I bet he did. Do you know Baker Mayfield?


he is a quarterback who initially considered quitting football to pursue a career as a competitive video gamer


Probably a lot safer, fewer concussions. Well, it's been great talking with you! Have a fine evening! Enjoy football!


Hi, how are you? No, not particularly. You?


I like shirts, polos specifically. do you like polos?


They're ok. I think that the Hawaiians have the right idea. The official business attire there is the aloha shirt. No need for a suit and tie.


I actually like it. in china gansters used to wear many of them and pop the collars


I bet they looked the part, too. Did you know that there is only one left-handed quarterback in the NFL? Kellan Moore. I’m surprised. I expected to be more, considering how many lefty pitchers there are in the MLB.


yeah, me too there are so many of them. Do you know who benjarvus green-ellis has never fumbled the football in his career?


That's an astonishing feat. I wonder whether he got a bonus for that.


I am not sure. did you know espn won an emmy?


I heard. For that yellow line. Seems a bit excessive to give an award for that. Sometimes talent is overlooked. The Junipero Serra high school had a season when they didn't win a game or even score a TD. However, they never used their backup QB, Tom Brady. Gosh, that was an oversight.


hi how are you doing today? What do you think of the presidency?


Yeah, we really could use a hero in the white house. Honest Abe. they broke the mold when they made him.


Ironically, he created the secret service the morning he was fatally shot


A tragic loss. im sure many people disliked him as it was a difficult time for the country, but he was a hero.


I mean people could have done much worse. Look at us today


Yeah, the country has come a long way. we have had good presidents and bad. People probably have faced problems and crises like ours. We will endure.


And hope that the next will be better than the last


Well, i guess we could try going to a new planet and starting over there, but it is probably better to make it work here.


True I hope our planet turns for the better in the next century.


Yeah, i hope so too. the next 100 years will be telling for our species. anyway, great chat!


It can be very depressing. I am surprised that trump is not one of the top 3 wealthiest presidents.


Well he has gone bankrupt on multiple occasions


Yes, he has a history of taking on too much debt and running companies into the ground. I hope he doesn't do the same thing to the country.


It is very worrying. I mean what kind of role model is he?


He faces an interesting election in 2020. the house has done demo, and the country might be heading into a recession.


I just hope we have better options in 2020 than we did in the previous presidential election.


Yes, and most importantly I hope that we see people get out and vote.


I wish we could get presidents we could really respect like Roosevelt or Abe lincoln


I do not appreciate the Redskins  effort against the Giants . It got worse


I am not sure what you mean by that. But i will like to chip in this fact that football recorded the highest  score ever in 1916


That's so long ago. Apparently this game featured Georgia Tech.


Of course yes, it ended in a 222-0. Wow that is so huge


I have never seen such a blowout. BenJarvus Green-Ellis has never fumbled.


Yes, i learnt that but i don't know if he make that much because it is a known fact that the top player from 1960 made twice as much as top football stars


ESPN came out with the yellow line on the televised field.


That is cool, it helped a lot. Do you know of a New York Giants player called Eli. The short form for Elisha


Bowlers used to get paid more than football stars.


Yes, i know that but do you pay attention to Eli, He was the overall pick for 2004 NFL Draft


He has been a decent NFL QB, born in 1981.


Which teams do you expect to win the Superbowl?


I have a cousin that was his great fan because of his genius level IQ


I think any team could win that since it is a game of the champions


The Redskins certainly will not win, it seems.


No they will not. They know that themselves. That is the result of their self-critiques in the visitors locker room at Metlife stadium


Of course, everyone knows that, Giant has always been a team with good forward and they sliced on redskin defense


The NFL actually has 32 teams/ Each year some of them are not competitive, though.


Yes and the Giants had always seem to stand out in them. They have most of their rushing total in Dec. 21, 2008. When they won Carolina


Apparently the University of Iowa features pink locker rooms.


Do you watch tv shows? On tv or internet?


Well John Oliver was very uncomfortable grilling Hoffman.


True.  It is most obviously a problem when one of the people has power.  I think that Hoffman did not think that incident defined him, but society today sees it as more important now.


I mean the video published by the post did go viral


True.  But if he had made more comments, that would just have been more to be criticized.  I think that is why he ducked the red carpet at a film award show.


While I understand that he did wrong, I feel that sometimes the audience lets the most recent events define people rather than his entire career. I mean many seemed to forget that despite receiving a lifetime achievement prize for his many years of work, he was discourage from attending the red carpet due to public backlash as you mentioned.


I understand your point of view.  However it is not a recent event in Hoffman's lifetime, it is just recently a major public issue.  Some well known people are biting the dust for offenses over 20 years ago.


That is very true and I admit it is a major problem with hollywood. It would be nice if we can admit both his failure and success together separately.


I agree.  Rev. Martin Luther King was a real hero of the last century but could not be true to his wife.  For some people we have to let the huge strengths and value outweigh the sins.  "For all have sinned..."  I find it interesting how uncomfortable Oliver was through all of this.


Well I personally don't think its a matter of their contributions and strengths balancing out or outweighing the sins, but we should look at each actions respectively. Furthermore, I do agree Oliver's reaction was quite interesting because it is not very often you seem him uncomfortable given his job


I am going to change the subject.  Did you see that dogs have 12 different blood types and they have blood drives for dogs.


I only watch on TV.  I do stream some but I still put them on my smart TV rather than a computer.  I use the LED technology but if I had a smaller screen I would use OLED.


Yes, I too recently read an article on this topic. I wonder why I never considered other animals having blood transfusions. Do you think other animals can do so as well or are we and dogs unique?


I am sure that others can.  I doubt that it happens too often.  Probably zoo animals who have the best care.  It is something that dogs can thrive on a starch rich diet, yet cats need mostly meat.


Perhaps it only only for animals human care enough about to do the research and put the effort into keeping alive like cat and dogs or endangered animals. Personally I found it most interesting that Istanbul has a vending machine that dispenses food for strays in exchange for recycling.


That would "kill two birds with one stone".  Debris gets picked up and dogs get fed.  How about Google putting in their code of conduct that they are a dog company?  Weird to me.


Well Google did say they are a dog company. Maybe the head of google simply didn't have good experience with cats and love dogs instead. Generally dogs seem to be more close and less distant than cats. Anyway thank you for the lovely chat.


What do you enjoy watching on tv? It is interesting how the tv used to transmit images in monochrome but know can display in colour as well as several dimensions and with sounds.


I enjoy Madam Secretary and Bluebloods.  I love the 4K pictures that digital transmission has allowed in recent years.  How about you?


I do enjoy watching tv occasionally, but personally I nowadays tend to do everything through the internet since it offers a vast amount of information, resources, and services with just a laptop and wifi.


I see.  The internet has sure dropped the volume of paper mail.  However, deliveries of online orders is filling up the slack.


One problem though is that the constant novelty from clicking links online can cause real addition problems with people's brains.


I have heard that.  The dopamine flows with the clicks.  Did you know that those 3 horizontal lines at the upper right of your browser is a symbol called the hamburger button?


I myself only recently found out about it and the way I view my browser has chained ever since. Did you recently see online John Oliver grill Dustin Hoffman?


No, I didn't see it.  However, I know what it is about.  There have been a lot of people in power who went too far in sexual harassment and worse.


Have you seen pictures of Ben Affleck's back tattoo?


Wow, that's crazy. I wonder if you could call an Uber to get a ride down from there. lol. Do you like Dramas?


HAHA  - I'm not too much into dramas. What about you?


I like some dramas like House. Did you know that Hugh Laurie earns over $700,000 per episode of House?


Wow that's nuts! It says he's the highest paid actor ever for a TV drama.


I know that's pretty wild! I'm kind of glad that Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore. He says that his belief system prevents him from playing in movies that don't project positivity.


He has a very odd belief system from what I've read about him before. There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.


That would be interesting to listen to. I'm going to have to find that website.


Jon Hamm taught drama class at his old high school and one of his students was Ellie Kemper.


That's pretty neat. Don Draper and Erin in drama class together. I bet nobody in that class ever thought they would see that happening.


Haha yea I bet they never thought they would see that happening at all.


Hello - I have seen pictures of his tattoo. It is very large and cool looking.


Well I hope you have a good day, it was nice chatting with you!


People on the internet has been mocking it ever since pictures leaked. He seems to be taking it lightly. Even his ex wife has made fun of it.


LOL. I like tattoos and have some myself. Do you know anything about the internet?


I have a few myself and want more. I know a little bit about the internet. I'm one of the 7% of people who read the full terms when buying products online.


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


I didn't know that. It makes sense, but it makes me hungry now.


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


Oh wow, that's pretty cool Hopefully it will never burn down. I'm addicted to the constant novelty from clicking links on the internet.


Yes that would be bad. There is a 3g cell service and internet at the peak of Mt. Everest.


Did you see the Patriots game against the Bills today?


Amazing that the league is almost 90 years old;


Time is flying by.  Did you know that Matt Patricia is the only rocket scientist coaching in the nfl


I was shocked too.  Also, they used chip to track players in the past?


I don't think he's that good of a head coach either; nowhere near the caliber of Bellichick


Every one is inferior when compared to the best coach in the history.  By the way, nice chatting with you


Yeah, but not much because I thought they would win eventually


I love the Patriots and watch them every chance I get. bellichick is the best coach


Brady is the best quarterback in my opinon


I agree!  The game against the Dolphins upset me but they bounced back quick


I would rather be on Bill Blichick's side than Tom Brady for the team's future


They clinched a playoff spot today and the Dolphins will be watching from home


As always.  Hahaha  Did you know that the first playoff game played in 1932


Wasn't that during the AFL days and the Packers?


What do you think about the Catholic Church? It scares me that they don't have a system in place for reporting misconduct


That's really cool! She sounds very talented, did you know that the cable that connects the United States to Europe is only about 3 in thick and stretches across the entire Atlantic Ocean


I did not. She also helped with the cellphone and gps development. She was a very smart lady.


Yes it seems like it. Do you ever wear hats by the way? I'm wearing one right now


I do not, they make my hair frizz. Except for the chef's hat  I do wear at times. For some reason, the designer chose to have the folds represent how many ways there are to cook eggs.


Haha that sounds really weird. It's funny that until 1998 political people in Britain used to wear a top hat in the House of Commons, I guess they changed that now though


Maybe? I think it's hilarious that hard hats are basically melted legos, as they are both made from the same type of plastic.


LOL good point, why do you think that old west movies show everyone wearing cowboy hats instead of the much more realistic bowler hats which were actually more popular


Could be like Finland, and give everyone a top hat and sword when you graduate.


That's pretty cool. It's also cool that tipping your hat comes from when Knights would raise their face visors in order to show that they were not enemies with each other


I wonder how that worked if they really were enemies? The winter hats that Russians wear, were originally worn by the nomads of Asia.


I think something needs to be done about that, immediately. Too many bishops are getting away with this. Like the one in West  Virginia.


That is pretty cool, I also think it's interesting how different religions use hats, and how they look, for instance the miters worn by Bishops


Yep I heard about that it makes me sad. Especially this mccarrick guy, he's been accused by a lot of people of molestation when they were kids


That is very sad. Almost as sad as the inventor of the dial phone, who was an undertaker.


Wow I didn't know that. What is strange is that New York's area code is two-one-two only because of the rotary phone and we don't even use those anymore LOL


New Yorkers are so impatient. I would love to see a dolphin talk on the phone.


Yep I agree with you. I guess they can determine if different dolphins are speaking, do you use an iPhone by the way?


I do. I have an app that has ringtones from the london Symphony Orchestra.


Oh that's interesting, maybe you didn't know this, but your iPhone actually has more computing power than our entire missile deterrent system in the United States


I've heard that. Hedy Lamarr was an acress, and she helped invent wifi.


whoa!  I didn't know that.  I probably wouldn't have used it then.  lol


Same. Youtube has 70 full episodes of the joy of painting.


Nice.  Did you remember Psy's Gangnam Style video?  It got so many views that youtube had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits!


Hard to believe Youtube was created in 2005.


I know right!  Police have their own youtube called blutube!


Oh that's crazy. I know Google created a network that watched 10m youtube clips, it learned to recognize cats.


Holy cow.  That's incredible.  Technology has come a long way.  An iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent.


Oh wow! That's a lot of power.I know the inventor of the dial telephone was an undertaker who was convinced telephone operators were rerouting his calls to rival businesses.


Interesting!  Speaking of the old dial phones....New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.


I do from time to time. I know three former Paypal employees created the service.


I have to get going.  It's been fun chatting with you!


Yes.  They made some big money off of it when google bought it in 2006 for $1.65 billion dollars!


I heard! In 2007 Youtube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire internet in 2000.


Whoa!   I believe it.  It is also the 2nd largest search engine on the net.


That would sound right. I love that Youtube allows users to upload, view, rate, share etc. It really brings people together.


Yes.  I love how it gives users the chance to create their own content.  Together with Netflix they both make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America.  Shows how much people love to watch video.


Me too. I've heard that even though most content is uploaded by individuals media corporations like CBS BBC VEVO and HULU offer content access.


Sounds right.  Justin Bieber's Baby is the most disliked video on youtube.  lol


ha-no surprise there, right? Do you know Youtube began as a dating site?


Haha I would have to say so myself! I'm glad the NFL was created though for sure!


yes, it needed to be made. the college game was good but it needed to go to a higher level and the NFL is it. people around the world are interested.


Did you know the NFL uses chips to record player's every move?


even off the field?? that is invasion of privacy. do they record players kneeling on the sidelines?


Haha I'm sure they even get that! I'm surprised their hasn't been a woman that tried out for a team yet since that is allowed!


maybe a woman could play kicker or something. that could happen.


That could happen for sure! They need equal rights though, Saint's cheerleaders can't even be in the same restaurant as players!


that is sexism, plain and simple. the men should leave. chivalry! that is the point.


I agree with you! Did you know there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL?


that seems fishy. why so few? is there some conspiracy against them? right-wing politics or something?


hi, how are you? i do not get much chance to watch. you?


Haha I will have to look it up on the internet for sure! Well have a great day!


I try to as much as I can, which isn't that often anymore. I would say I like to watch the Green Bay Packers!


the packers have a long and storied history as a franchise. have you seen them live?


I have! They've sold out every game since 1960 so tickets are hard to get!


there must be a scalper market. i bet if you got rich you could get a ticket.


I'm sure, especially around there! I didn't know they were named after the indian packing company though.


i never knew that. what did the packing commpany pack though? cheese?


That's my guess haha. The beloit fairies were the first team to ever beat them!


that's a surprising name for a football team.


Nice that is pretty cool. Did you know Google is a dog company?


I love it, U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


I wonder if that is supposed to have some effect on the players


I wonder too. Do you know the highest score in college football?


Yes that was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0


Yeah that was back in 1916 and still stands as a record


Yeah. Did you hear of that stadium in Teas that fits 18000 people?


Wow that is a lot of people, how much did that cost?


It cost about $60 million and it is for a high school


I love dogs. There is a tomb for an unknown one in honor of canines used in research


That is just wow. Nice chatting with you


Nice. They have 12 blood types and there are blood drives


nice. They are so smart they can learn 1000 words


ANd they understand pointing as well just like elephants


Yeah and they reason better than the chimps do


Nice. In Istanbul they have machines that dispense water and food for the dogs


Oh that is nice. Do you know how they drink wateR?


Yes and all you do is feed it plastic bottles. No, how?


They drink with the underside of the tongue


Hello! Do you like to watch Disney movies?


I like that it's becoming more of an issue and Jordan Greenway is heading that by being the 1st black U.S. Olympic hockey player.


I run swim team in a diverse town and the best thing that can happen is a successful minority in the sport. I want a diverse team and that would helps us.


That's awesome!  Even Disney is being more diverse by having Frozen be directed by a woman!


You could tell in the story line; two heroins that did not need the help of a male, just the love of their sister...


I would like to see more females in football.  They would love the University of Iowa's pink visitors locker lol


HA! Yes, that would be a good fit, if they were not blown out 222-0!


That's insane! I do love the yellow line when watching on tv, but never knew that deserved an Emmy!


I feel like that is a low bar for an emmy...


I completely agree!  Nice chatting with you!


I do! I watch Frozen with my daughter a lot, but didn't know in the 70s that they recycled animation frames!


My daughter loves frozen. She also loves the lion king, the first film to be dubbed in zulu!


It's amazing that it took 3 decades to make Wreck-it-Ralph. I've only seen parts of it. Have you seen it?


I have but not the most recent one. I loved the first one!


Have you seen Disney's Cool Runnings? Pretty neat that Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian is competing as part of the first female Jamaican team!


I have. I loved that movie. Such a good message. I should show that to my kids too! I am happy to see a female team come out for it!


Me too! I like her message about showing kids someone who looks like them can do it since the demographic is mostly white at the Olympics!


Especially the winter olympics! Most everyone there is white. Tough to show the diversity when everyone is white...


Did you watch the Victoria Secret fashion show?


That surely provoked a lot of rage in people, I heard he didnt want transgender models either.


I did not hear that, but things are definitely getting out of hand, why does difference have to be pushed on us?


I agree I guess thats just how things are so changing the subject a bit do you like Amazon?


I love amazon, did you know USPS delivers for them on Sundays?


I didnt know that! I guess Amazon brings too much traffic to lose it over one day.


I guess amazon workers walk 7 to 15 miles a day!


Thats a good way to stay active, the first customer of Amazon has a building name after him, how crazy is that!!


That is cool, I wish that was an option now


I agree, the purchase was of 27.95 and then a building got named after him, I would definitely spend 27.95 to have my name put on a building.


Did you know Jeff Bezos built a clock in a mountain that should run for 10,000 years?


I did I really enjoy watching it, How about you?


I didnt know that! I bet that was really expensive and I wonder if it will actually run for 10000 years I guess will never know.


I loved it, I thought Adriana Lima was great and also liked Winnie Harlow.


Yeah she does, she is a Canadian model, pretty good I follow her on Instagram.


A lot of people seem to find the show boring.


I guess its not for everyone, Ive heard the critics as well but I think its fun and like to watch it.


Did you see the empire state building was lit in pink lights?


I didnt see that although I heard it was pink to honor the Victoria Secret brand.


There is some drama also that the CEO said he did not want to have plus size models.


Are you on Facebook? I tried giving it up for this year, only when I need it, and dont really miss it.


I am but I'm mostly an observer/commenter...


When I was on there I almost only looked at people's profiles. I have nothing to add and I hated to brag about stuff I do with photos.


Did you know most countries don't have what we call a President?


OK. Yeah if you were a "President" you could go to all those summit meeting with big wigs from other countries.  That actually sounds boring.


No... I would actually wear big wigs and have so much fun. I would do the whole thing with a glass of wine.


Cool. You sound like the Indonesian President that released 3 pop albums while in office.


Ha! Are Indonesians that hungry for music?


Must be.  I don't know what genre that is... They could have a big dance party instead of a boring summit meeting.  They could network it on 3g.


Great.  Who would think Trump's tariffs on China would help people who trade in knockoff designer bags?


HA! That's funny... Knockoff handbags... I think the whole idea is just weird. What a weird thing to stump on...


I know, not a designer kind of guy myself... There's another $200 billion around the corner.  It hurts businesses that have legit designer handbags.


Im not either. It hurts a lot of the american businesses too.


Yep.  Beijing has promised to crack down on the counterfeiters but I'm not holding my breath.


No... it does not benefit them to do so. like reading those pesky terms of service when buying something online.


Yeah, I never read that.  Only 7% of people do.


I always just click accept and hope for the best. I am part of the 93%. If you are on mt everest, you can read it with your 3G!


Good to know.  I'm a 93%-er too. I love the internet but use it mostly for keeping up with people, shopping and entertainment.


It is too bad jack black didn't star in the green lantern. Was hoping for a good green lantern film


Jack Black is a good actor - he would have been good.


Have you watched any comedy tv shows like 3rd rock from the sun or brooklyn 99


I have seen a couple episodes of those here an there. I like the office, parks and rec, and lots of others.


Yeah for sure. Have you seen the original version?


Yeah I guess so - I was referring to the British version vs the American one.


I watched the american sitcom. Is that not the original?


The American version is an adaptation of the British one, but the British one wasn't as successful.


I like to watch tv and movies. I like comedy. How about you?


Oh thanks for letting me know. I will check out the british one after this chat. Thanks for your time.


Comedy is always a good form of entertainment


Yes it is - although it has been 37 years since a comedy won the academy award for best picture.


Stand up comedy or just a movie.  What about you?


It depends. Usually I agree with you, but satire or parody are also good.


Any films you liked in particular? For me kung fu hustle is a classic


Evan Almighty was alright. It was the most expensive comedy ever made.


Hmm pretty late. When Truman visited disneyland he did not want to be photographed in the ride


Yes he did not want to be associated with republicans in any way possible


Yeah pretty strange and he went to the extremes it seems


Yeah I know. Do you use the internet much?


I use it a lot actually , how about you?


Me too ,Do you know what the hamburger button is?


Yes the three horizontal menu line, very fitting


I know. Did you know you can develop addiction from clicking on the internet?


Yeah I can see that anything in excess can do that to the brain


Yeah. There is a copy of the internet in the library of Alexandria


WOw I wonder how that can even be saved actually


Somewhat too. They use too much water so I do not like them for that


Yeah in the states they use about 12 000 gallons a day


Yeah and in Dubai there is one that use 4 million gallons a day
