Yeah they must have put the needs of the team before theirs, I guess. The Patriots under them have either lost or won the superbowl by 3 or 4 points in all 6 tries


That is insane, especially considering Brady is 41, has a family and businesses to take care of outside of football.


Yeah I know. Did you know he has never had a strawberry?


That is peculiar. I wonder why he hasn't had a strawberry? But considering he's one of only two QB to win the Super Bowl in their first season as a starter, has been given the MVP award 4 times, has won 3 league MVP awards, has been selected to 13 Pro Bowls, and has 15 division titles, I think he's doing alright without eating any strawberries!


Haha that is so true, a strawberry would not change much. In high school his team did not wina game or score a touchdown and they never started their backuo QB which was Brady


Haha wow, I bet they are regretting that decision! He only threw 50 touchdown passes in 2007!


Yeah I bet they are. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


I think it was Paul D. Hubbard? He was a deaf QB. Hard to believe the huddle was ever anything other than circular haha But definitely very interesting.


Yeah that is creative of him. Do you know who is the only left handed QB ?


Kellan Moore? I'm not familiar with him though. I will have to keep an eye out for him haha Or Shaquim Griffin who only plays with one hand!


Wow that is even more impressive. Nice chatting with you :)


Yeah, did you know women can play too if they qualify?


I did not know that, that is pretty crazy. I wonder why women can't qualify then? I guess Tom Brady's wife makes double what he does, maybe if a woman wants to make good money she should go into modeling? Hope that doesn't come off sexist!


Well everyone can choose the career they want I guess. Engineers earn more than football players


That is definitely interesting. Having a good education would be  a good thing to fall back on, for sure. Like Alex Smith, who entered university as a junior in high school, received his bachelor's in two years an dstarted working on his master's by the time he became the first overall pick in 2005 nfl draft


That is amazing, I guess he planned ahead and took many ap tests and made it easier for himself to complete University and higher degrees and get into the NFL


Yea that's definitely really smart of him. Bill Belichick is a really smart coach too, just look what he did with Brady/the Patriots. Say what you will about them, they are a force to be reckoned with.


That is very true actually, they make a good team. He lists Brady in the injury report every week apparently


That's really weird. Brady never seems hurt! Maybe it's a precaution sort of thing? I didn't know that Brady and Belichick had a bit of a tiff though, last season, I think? When Brady didn't want to attend OTAs...I guess they got over it and made up haha


I think people are overwhelmed. The Internet is a firehose of data.


It really is, you do have to sift through it though for false stuff.


A challenging task to separate truth from fiction. Lots of noise, not much signal. I would like to trust the news, but at this point, I can't.


I agree. There is so much slanted information.


I hope that AI can get good enough to flag things that seem odd. Check for truth value or something.


That would be amazing.  Computers have been developing all the time.


I think that the computer should serve us, not the other way around.


Very true, sometimes we are slaves to them.  I know I am addicted to my technology.


I would like to break the addiction, too. The internet is addicting because it entertains us. That is dangerous. I want to be isolated from the influence. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting!


yes, I love to read. I read all day. Do you like to read?


I do.  I am mainly a fan of non-fiction.  How about you?


I enjoy mostly non-fiction, though some fiction too. Can you speed-read?


I dont think I can, especially when speed reading was at 4,700 words per minute.


I figure that the retention at that speed must be poor. How could you remember all that a week later? No way.


Same here.  Unless you have an photographic memory


That would be useful. I've heard of people that can remember everything. Must be a difficult life. In the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels. I guess the panic now would be different.


True, now it seems like there is so much knowledge to be had and people avoid it.


right lol. Did you know they even have internet now on top of MT everest


Oh, those kids and their selfies! I bet Kim Kardashian was behind that installation.


I bet she was, everyone needs their instagram fame lol. Do you know what the three horizontal line menu is on apps is called?


It is called a hamburger button lol. Fun fact for the day!


I learn something new everyday and forget it the next.


I do not own an iphone. they are too expensive for me. i am thrifty.


Me too, I am still rocking the iphone 4s, super cheap. Apparently the iphone has more computing power than the whole us nuclear missile deterrent system


Yes, and it handles text messaging much better too LOL. I guess i find the phones too much of a distraction.


Yes, i guess i could. i was around before the internet was so big. i would have trouble without computers though.


lol for sure, they definitely are distracting! It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your night!


Me too lol, I grew up at the beginning of the internet. I was born into it. I am like Bane from Batman, lol.


You were shaped by it. I figure that it will always be a part of my life. we need the information source. we are addicted.


That is true, we like the novelty of clicking. It is imprinted in our brains now.


I am too far gone to change now. I must feed on the clicks. the internet has me in its gaping maw.


for sure lol. Do you ever read the terms of service on the internet?


I do not. well, i did once. it was boring, so i never did it again.


lol me too. Only 7% of people actually read it. I think I have sold my soul to the devil a few times and I don't even know it


Well, the devil has a lot of souls at this point so you might not real get much notice from him. one soul is not worth much on the internet these days.


Hello, are you interested in the President, Radio, or Government?


One would think. Did you know that in 2006, the US passed legislation to protect government employees from prosecution for violating the Geneva Conventions.


It is important when water boarding to have legislation on your side.  I like how the Norwegian Government donated $1 billion to save the amazon forest.  Our government would sell chimpanzees guns but thats about all.


Well our government is just as wild as the rest of the worlds. Afer all, the first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana.


Top Banana.  I hear there is prison time if you forget his first name.  Canada has a la that 40% of all music must be canadian.  good for them.  Country and western needs a place to go.


I agree with that! Add to that, Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by AM radio.


I wonder if Jupiter sounds like whales?  Scottish bag pipes are very annoying.  How could you calculate the wealth of president Geroge Washington.


Maybe by reverse engineering inflation, I don't know. Yes, Washington, Jefferson, and JFK were the top three wealthiest presidents.


I bet Washington never filed a tax return.  Any calculation of his wealth in 1776 dollars would be speculation.


Believe me, they probably have a way to estimate it. Lucky for George, he lived in pre-Federal Reserve era. Did you know that soldiers in WWI made simple radios using razor blades and pencil as a diode?


A foxhole radio.  It sounds like a waste of time.  Maybe there was a lot of free time in fox holes.


I would say I am more interested in government.  Systems or groups of people organized in a community do something to me.


Ok, well government is a means by which organizational policies are enforced as well as a mechanism for determining policy. This affects all of us, really.


The statement of a governing principle and philosophy is much more than the smile on a dog.


Funny, did you know another funny thing? 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the US government.


Religion is the talk on a cereal box.  Another way to have an absolute state of authority is to have a tyranny.


Well said. Did you know that Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks? Now that's a Wikileak!


Its almost like a photo of a person holding a photo.  The guy in France that sold the Eiffel tower, he has some skill.


Yes, I heard about that. A man in France impersonated a government official and sold the Eiffel Tower not just once but twice.


You would think Mr. Eiffel would have something to say about a guy putting up for sale signs, having tours through the living room.


I've listened to him for 12 years and it is getting too sportsy for me. And I do love sports! I would like more pop culture in there...


I'm surprised they don't have any pop culture radio out there. You bring up a good point.


They hit on it once in a while but not as much as I want. Pop culture may not be the right term... maybe stray away from sports because they are all fun and really smart. Would help the show.


What I really hate is when they have 3 or 4 announcers on the radio at the same time, laughing and giggling and talking over each other. It's annoying! I prefer just 1 or 2 people.


Yeah. I like that more too. It's always awkward when the host and guest talk over each other. I get irritated...


I also hate when they play sports clips that are inaudible...happens more now than back in my day. If you can't make out what's going on....why play it?


Yeah. They play a ton of the ambient noise in the clip and need to clean it up.


I graduated from radio broadcasting. My teachers would have never put up with lousy audio sports clips on the radio.


You did? What college? That's so exciting!


Ohio School of Broadcasting. Graduate in 1987. Thanks for asking


Howdy, okie dokie....how do you like radio? LOL


I like listening to music but most of the time I listen to podcast. What about you?


I normally just listen to sports talk radio to get to sleep.


To get to sleep? What do you listen to? I listen to sports podcasts and have a few favs.


I try to find local stuff. But when I go to bed, there isn't to much local sports talk on the radio. Thus, I listen to one of the ESPN podcasts that's on. Hate the female sportscasters though.


I listen to Dan LeBatard and love that show. I dont like Chciago's local guys. Too bland.


Never heard of Dan LeBatard, might have listened to him on the radio...I never catch or remember the names.


That's fair. Plus he's in the morning. I also listen to Dan Patrick but I feel like he is getting redundant. Have you heard of him?


Oh yes! I've  heard Dan Patrick plenty of times on the radio. I don't really have an opinion whether I like him or not.


The NBA consists of 30 teams, one of which is in Canada.


It's always about the money. Allen Iverson is getting 800,000 a year from Reebok!


...and who is he ? did he earn that money ?


NBA player, I guess earned by promoting Reebok merchandise. Seems like easy money.


I hope he appreciates that and maybe donates some of it to charity...


Would be nice.  Speaking of money to blow, Nike used to pay the fine every game so Jordan could wear the Air Jordan sneakers.


Apparently there used to be a rule that sneakers had to be white or black.  Air Jordans were too colorful.


Now that's cool :) I've never heard about it. Was that rule changed ?


heh... they should return that "fine" money then ;)


The Toronto Raptors, they became the only Canadian team in 2001 when the Grizzlies moved to Memphis.


Moving to Memphis? Probably huge. Did you know NBA players are the world's best paid athletes?


No, I didn't know that. Any idea why would that be ?


Maybe cause they have the most games? It's only one of four major professional sports leagues in the US.


I always wondered why Soccer is not one of those sports...


Maybe if America took soccer as seriously as the rest of the world we would pay the soccer athletes more.


Yeah love bruce lee,  hard to imagine him as a dancer,  or chacha dancer even lol


Hilarious. Apparently he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha championship.


Guess he was really good!  Tupac was in ballet class in high school lol


Nice, it doesn't surprise me, he was real artsy.


I wonder how many shoes he went through,  looks like ballet dancers go through 4 pairs a week!


Babies like to dance too,  they spontaneously dance when they hear music.


Interesting, what type of dancing do they do? They can't walk!


Dancing can kinda mean anything that involves moving your body to a beat I suppose.  I am no expert,  but in the car I find myself dancing with my shoulders if a good song comes on.


Yeah, I guess that's true. Maybe somebody could patent that like MJ?


I doubt anyone would want to steal my moves lol


Hilarious. Well, it would be great if you could patent dance moves like MJ and get rich.


Yeah, it would be. Well nice chatting with you!


Not really,  I dont follow it much,  i watch once in awhile if the warriors are playing.  What is your favorite team?


My favorite team is the wizards. Did you know Air Jordans were banned when first introduced?


wow I did recently read something like that.  do you know why?


I'm not sure, but it was probably one of the greatest marketing ploys ever!


tim duncan sacraficed money by statying in college instead of going straight to the nba


Interesting, do you know what he studied?


Cool. Do you like Bruce Lee? I heard he was a great dancer.


Yup Blockbuster sure made a mistake there and also by charging those excessive late fees. I guess they had what was coming to them


They sure can, just ask Reed Hastings he got inspired to create Netflix because of those late fees


Good for him,  turned out to change the whole viewing of shows and movies!


Netflix is a game changer that is a sure thing, so are you a fan of cars?


I do like cars,  another convienence of our time lol I found out its illegal to warm up your car in Ohio,  I wonder why


Its illegal to warm up your car in Ohio and then its legal to equip your cars with flame throwers in South Africa, we live in a crazy world


Yeah that is crazy!  I dont know what I would do with a flame thrower though lol


You could eliminate the snow on your path, you could also re heat dinner.


Oh good idea! Did you know googles self driving car has an "aggressive" mode?  thats interesting,


Really? that is interesting and also really scary at the same time, its been fun chatting with you friend.


I subscribe, I'm one of the 137 million subscribers worldwide, so many subscribers


Wow that is a lot!  I wouldnt mind being one of netflix's "taggers"  they are paid to watch content and tag them.


Sounds like good as job as any, interesting how Netflix spends so much money in postage


I know right, more than on bandwidth.  I guess they have to support their original concept though.  They have almost 150 movies with 100% rating


I have to watch those, 100% they must be really great,


Yeah I would think so!  I dont think Ive watched any that has 100% lol


I havent either, its crazy how Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix for only $50 million


I know right,  I remember them starting a similar thing to Netflix,  I assumed it failed because there is no more blockbuster lol


Hi, what is your favorite form of entertainment ?


In must have been in the 70s, I don't think Steve Martin was popular enough  later to desserve a lookalike contest.


Yeah I think it was in the 70s they do have a really similar look, did you Reagan was also an actor?


Yeah, I saw a documentary about him, he was a famous actor, he did a lot of westerns. You never knew that ?


No I didnt, I just found out, it turns out he got rejected in a movie, the role was of President, they though he didnt have the presidential look, pretty ironic hugh


It was another era, before TV and the image took over, I think he would have had the role now where the look is more important than the brain.


Yeah I agree, so did you watch Wonder Woman?


No I did not, but I have heard it was quite popular, was it ?


It was, you know the main actress of the movie actually served in the Israely defense forces


And what is the story of the movie ? Is it any good ?


Its good, it has a good plot its based on WWI and its about how Wonder Woman came to be, its the highest grossing superhero origin movie so that can give you an idea of the quality of the movie


Hello, I like to play video games such as nintendo what about you?


I think I will see it. Thanks for the conversation.


I really liked the Nintendo, even if it could only display 54 colors.


Yeah but its a classic, its a bad thing they dont make it anymore


Yeah they stopped making it in 2003, but there is still the NES classic that does a pretty good job at emulating it.


I think they should remake it, or at least a version of it


Would you like something more powerful ? 54 colors is not a lot, compared to what a newer console can do nowadays.


I do have something more powerful an Xbox One but still, classic games are great and it would be nice to have them as well, do you know who Bill Nye is?


Yeah, I saw him on TV when I was young, I think his show was called Bill Nye the Science Guy ?


Yeah the same one, so he actually got a lucky break because he looked like Steve Martin and actually won a contest


Did you know Canada is the only country in the world with 2 national sports?  lacrosse and Hockey


What about the NBA? My knowledge of the NBA isnt very large but I know a few facts. What about you?


I know a little ... but not that much...I know the popular players, etc.  It's just not as popular as football and baseball where I live


Where I live hockey is very popular but I still prefer basketball


I see that "granny style" is the best technique to consistantly score points from the line


Did you know that Even though Air Jordan's were banned in the NBA, Jordan still wore them and paid a fine every game


I didn't know that!  He's made a killing on those shoes over the years


Without a doubt, His popularity has only skyrocketed over the past years


I wish I had his money that's for sure!  ..and his talent!


Agreed, with that money I could start my own NBA team


Well no wonder Canada scored 132 and let 3 in  during the 1924 olympics


lol yes!  That would be the life!  Wouldn't it?


Living in a mansion not having to work - Splendid


I'm all in!  Speaking of shoes I see where Allen Iverson signed a lifetime endorsement contract with reebok in 2001 that would pay him $800,000 a year until he reaches age 55...to where the then would receive a lump sum payment of 32 million!


Allen Iverson is also a great basketball player with a great carrer


Wow.  An average professional hockey player will lose up to 8 pounds in one game!


Speaking of hockey players, a hockey player was traded for 1$ in 1993 and that play went to win four Stanley cups


Well not really, I know more about basketball than I do about hockey


I'm a big Cleveland Cavs fan and love college basketball.


Ah, I am more of a Golden State Warriors fan because of Steph Curry


He's awesome!  The Warriors earned about $12 million by losing game 4 of the NBA finals


Really? Thats insane. Did you know that Steph Curry's brothers played the back court together on the santa cruz warriors in 2013? Furthermore, Steph and Klay did the same on the golden state warriors


Hi there are you a fan of fashion and clothing?


oh man.  You live in the snow too.  I live in the snowbelt just south of Lake Erie. I have boots too and feel your pain.  The Nokia company originally by making rubber boots in the 1800's and they still make them to this day.


Wow that is cool. I think it's interesting that the phrase pull oneself up by their bootstraps originally meant to do something impossible and not to just help yourself


That is interesting!  A man stopped to get his boots cleaned in Paris in 1938.  As a result of standing still for 7 minutes, both he and the cleaner became the first people in history to be photographed.  I've seen that photo before.  They didn't even know they were being photographed because they were part of a bigger picture of the neighborhood.


That is really crazy what a lucky guy! It would be cool to be the first person to get a picture taken, what do you think about traveling by the way? I just got back from Florida myself


I love traveling!  The Dutch are creating a commuter bus designed to travel at 160mph!  I would travel more regionally if I could take that and get where I was going safely.


Yep that sounds awesome! It sure beats going through airport security, I would love to take that bus around Japan though too, except all of their highways are toll roads


That would be expensive!  I want to go to Mackinac Island in Michigan where they banned all motorized vehicles for over 100 years.  Sounds like a relaxing place.


I've been there, it's not cool in my opinion, you have to take a horse everywhere and I'm allergic to horses so it was horrible for me LOL


oh man.  lol that would be terrible.  I didn't think of that.  The first king to travel around the world was King KalaKaua of Hawaii.  I bet the saw some amazing things.


Yeah I bet he was very interested in that. What do you think about Japan though? Would you ever go? I would hate to spend $300 to travel across the whole country


Yes I love clothing! I'm wearing some right now haha. Did you hear about the pilgrims and what color their original clothing was


I would love to go there.  But, ouch that would be pretty pricey.  It's been a pleasure chatting with you!


haha me too!  I heard that they wore clothes that were full of color.  Surprised me because I always thought of them as wearing black and white.


Yep I've only ever seen them in black-and-white haha. What about the Apple clothes that they made back in the 80s? Do you think those are colorful


I've never seen those.  I wonder if they are valuable as a collectible now?


They must be worth something! Did you hear about the store in Alabama? It sells clothes that were found in unclaimed baggage from airports, I would be mad to see some of my clothes in there LOL


lol  I bet they find some nice clothes to resell.  Sounds like a good business model.


Yep they probably get some cool stuff in there. What do you think about the clothing brand Rip Curl? Apparently on their tags that says they are made in China but they are actually made in North Korea


Never heard of them.  I would be a little nervous quality wise and how they were mad.  Heard about slave factories in North Korea.  Do you have any boots?


Yes I own boots. I just put them on because I had to shovel the driveway earlier LOL what about you


I like them too, good band really. and her father defended oj simpson.


It is crazy how they all became famous because her dad defended a criminal.


i know, that is not fair. onthe other hand she is landing a hand to the armenian genocide, I guess she is half armenian after all


I did not know that. What nationality are you?


i am american.I guess you can find all sorts of info on google nowadays


I am also American and google is used for everything , even has a google translate so I can understand other languages.


yeah it is so convenient. it actually requires more computing to do one google search than to send armstrong and 11 other to the moon


Fascinating! Do you like going to concerts?


Yes, I have been to a Lincoln Park concert. Unfortunate what happened.


very much so. was that in 2001 when they held 324 concerts in a year?


No, that was a couple years ago. Wish I saw the Ramones who toured almost non stop for 20 years.


I really wonder how they managed to do that. sounds tiring. nice chatting with you


no not really but they are everywhere, especially the kardashians


Yes like at least Justin Beiber can sing.


i know. i do not even understand why she is so popular, it is not like she made anything significant.


She is a reality tv star, entrepreneur and socialite!


yeah i guess. she was paris hilton's personal assistant once


Her relationship with Kanye also helped.


very true. and she was in the music video of fall out boys


Haha. It is apparently because they have high case of carjackings.


Well, ever since cars started being used globally, there will always be people wanting to steal them


That's sad, but true. Do you follow any celebrities?


Mostly athletes.  I tend to stay away from the reality stars.


I do too. Did you know Pixar has a secret room that is visited by Celebrities?


I wonder what is in there.  Pixar is pretty wealthy, I bet they have a lot of cool secrets.


I love Pixar. They make the best animations. Did you know Robin Williams was the voice of the Genie in Aladdin?


Oh yes, it was one of my favorite roles of his.  Now every celebrity seems to be doing animation.


I think so too. Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode.


Not bad.  I am glad her TV law degree came in handy for her.  She has been on the air for years


I do.  I am a big fan.  Much better than a horse a buggy


Me too. Well, it was good talking to you. Have a good one.


Haha yes, much better. Did you know cars were born in 1886 in Germany?


Good old Mr Benz started a great company.  I bet his family is doing pretty well financially


Yes he did. Did you know Cadillac is named after a French explorer?


I did not know that.  They have been around for years and are great cars


They are. That explorer also founded Detroit.


And Detroit would not be around at all without cars.  They built their entire city around that market


Most definitely. It's legal in South Africa to equip your car with a flamethrower.


Remind me never to cut anyone off in traffic in South Africa.  I though my streets were hectic.


Hey how are you, you watch the NBA a lot?


Cool, do you like it up there a lot? I'm so excited to move there, I'm in the midwest now and want to get out of here ha.


It's ok as long as you like the snow and rain but if you like the sunshine then California is a good place and then you can watch the Golden State warriors play


No doubt, I've got family in California too. Stephen Curry would be great to see in person, you think the Warriors now could beat the Bulls of the 90s?


You don't think so? It'd be a great matchup, Rodman versus Green would be a good match up too. I don't know how good of D Klay would play against Jordan though.


Yeah, dont forget about Scotty Pippen too the three alone would dominate the court.


I'm not too sold to be honest, who would guard Curry? I don't think the Bulls could defend everyone.


Curry is only good from the three. He doesnt do much else.


It'd be a great 7 game series though, that's for sure. He's like the only unanimous voted MVP right?


Yes he was but that doesn't make him great or memorable like Jordan dunking or Larry Bird


I love watching Basketball in fact did you know that there are 30 teams in total? That's a lot!


You'd rather have Bird than Stephen Curry?


I'm just comparing their remembrances and i dont think i would remiember Stephen Curry as much as i do the others.


I'm not sure, I think it's just nostalgia lol. How bad was the rest of the league then? Could you imagine anyone now today going against like Mark Price or Scott Skiles? Would get destroyed.


That's true, they would. Well, its getting late here so i better get going for now. It was great talking to you! I hope you have a great night!


For sure, great chatting with you. It would be so fun to watch that series but we'll never know. Take care and good night!


To be honest, I thought there were 32 lol. But your absolutely right, even one of those teams is in Canada, do you know what team that is?


You're absolutely right. Who is your favorite team?


My favorite team was the Seattle Supersonics before they became nonexistant


Oh man, I love the sonics! I'm moving to Seattle this year and wish they were still there. Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Detlef Schrempf, etc so great!


You from the PNW area? I just bought some new Sonics t-shirts with my turk money lol.


Yep, sure am thats why i love the Sonics!


I'm sure it is too. I bet it was an amazing experience.


Jay Z could do a concert there. Maybe he could even do his American Gangster album live, since he pulled it from iTunes so people wouldn't only get the individual songs


I can't believe he did that. I heard that he actually was the ghostwriter for a song on the "Space Jam" soundtrack.


That's how many artists have started out. They prove themselves as good songwriters and then break out and do their own thing. I should see if he was part of writing "Empire State of Mind" that he recorded with Alicia Keys


I like that song, I also like Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's West Coast answer to that song with "California Gurls."


I had heard both songs, but had no idea that the two were meant to be connected. It would be neat to hear them do a mashup version of the two


Yeah it would be a really good mashup. I wish I would have went to the high school Jay Z went to. Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes, and DMX were all alums there.


I would have liked to be in the lunchroom at the time Jay Z had a rap battle with Busta Rhymes


That would have been epic, I wonder who won?


Considering they're all well-known, they both did. Have you heard any songs from Jay Z's album Kingdom Come?


I like them, but I don't go to them very often. It would be fun to visit the amphitheater in Croatia that still hosts concerts


I have heard that album. It was actually named after the DC Comics miseries of the same name.


That would be a fun place to visit. Just as long as it's not Creed. I went to one of their concerts before they broke up and I wish I would have filed a lawsuit like four concert goers did in 2002.


Do you think they got anything in return for that? Maybe that was the official end to Creed's career


Probably not. They didn't seem to last too long after that. They didn't have a career like The Ramones. They played a total of 2,263 concerts, they toured almost non stop for over 20 years!


That's a long time to keep selling tickets. Linkin Park did a lot of touring when their first album blew up. 324 concerts in the first year is pretty successful


That was a really good album too. I also like Collision Course they did with Jay Z.


It's crazy to think that before recording music was possible, the only way to hear an artist was to go to a concert


Yeah it was. Did you know that in 1972 Pink Floyd recorded a live concert at the Ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii....with no audience!


I wonder if it was due to sound acoustics. I know that can affect the sound, but hopefully others have used it with an audience because I'm sure the amphitheater is beautiful


No. I think Carmelo Anthony has the most olympic golds... Seems like a weird person to have all that gold..


Yes it does. Did you see the original space Jam movie. LeBron has signed a new deal to play in the sequel.


I saw the original and am not to excited to see this one. I would think he would want to get away from the Jordan comparisons so doing Space Jam is a little weird of a choice to me. Are you interested in seeing it?


I only want to see it for the characters not him. LeBron rejected an $80 million dollar from Reebok when was 18


Seemed like a good investment in himself. He made more than that with Nike, didn't he?


Yes a year later he got a $90 million offer so guess he was smart to wait.


Yeah! I think he is scheduled to be the first player to make $1B both on and off the court.


That is a crazy amount. He is the highest paid celebrity then it's judge Judy.


How good is Judge Judy's agent to make her the second highest celebrity? I can't stand those shows!


He must must be good. She makes $123,000 an episode to be mean to people


Yes I do. Yes I love LeBron James. He is averaging 27.4 points a game.


And here I am, being to mean to people for free! What a waste. Nice chatting with you!


Yeah. I wonder if this is about last season or the current season. Harden won last year and he is likely to win this year too!


You're right, I can do the math... this is about last season. Thanks!


Can you imagine being that great at anything, let alone basketball? I can barely manage to get myself dressed in the morning.


Lol same here. Especially straight out of highschool. Did you know Kevin love broke his hand and missed 21 games.


I did know that. He seems to get hurt all the time. He was out for a period of time this year too. Although I would probably found a way to strain a hammy too if I played on CLE.


Did you know LeBron has 2 gold Olympic medals?


I know that is cool, i think it was the Extant gray wolf that their sister to.


Yea, it's amazing dogs can be trained for hunting, herding, and companionship


Yeah and there service dogs, military and police dogs.


I never knew that dogs had 12 different blood types, i thought they had 4 like humans


Yeah that's a lot and apparently they give blood. Google prefers dogs to cats. I have to say i do too, lol! How about you?


I gotta take google's side on this although cats are pretty cool too


Yeah did you know that if a cat reaches 15 years old he would have slept for 10 of them?


That's insane, I wonder if Cats have 12 blood types like dogs do


I think they have way more. All my life i thought dogs were color blind apparently they are not. Wow!


Yea, plus dogs understand the significance of pointing


I've seen a couple episodes, I remember people were making a big deal about the character Jack Pearson's death


Them and elephants i think. I never new that the Sobriquet mans best friend came from the national human society.


Yeah we all new he's was going to die but since the show jumps from past to present he is always around which is cool because he's a great character in the show.


Yea, I remember watching This is Us after the Super Bowl and his character died from smoke inhalation


Right so suddenly, i haven't picked it back up yet but i plan to. It's a tear jerk er.


lol, I too love a good deal and found many while over there but the best was experiencing the food!! Oh my goodness; the danishes pastries and cheese's were so good, nothing like we have here.


Yeah she pretty cool in it. It was messed up how he died. /would you have gone back for a pet?


Probably not, especially after barely getting my family out


Right, some people view there pets as their children, thats odd to me or maybe i just haven't had that kind of relationship with a pet before.


Maybe not, but dogs are pretty cool animals, it's fascinating how they came from domesticated wolves


I like to play baseball but find it a little boring to sit through a whole Red Sox game. My Dad used to watch it on T.V. all the time.


So I take it you're a Red Sox fan?  That's funny because I've lived my whole life in St. Louis and am a big Cardinals fan.  Unfortunately, the Red Sox keep beating us in the World Series seemingly anytime we get there!


I am actually a Yankees fan. lol My husband is a die hard Yankees fan too. He is from R.I. and I am from MA but we just love the Yankees.


I see... That makes me feel better that you both are Yankees fans instead of Red Sox fans, haha.  Do you both ever go to Yankees stadium to watch games?  Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are both supremely popular players... are they your favorites, or do you prefer any of the team's other players?


I have been to Yankee Stadium. We also saw the last game that Mickey Mantle ever played at Fenway Park. Boston gave him a standing ovation.


Oh wow, that's amazing!  That's an incredible experience that I'm sure you both will cherish forever!  Did you ever go to any of the World Series games over the years that the Yankees were playing?  Going to a Cardinals World Series game is certainly on my bucket list to do at some point in my life.


No we have never been to a World Series. But we have watched them on T.V. I hope you get a chance to be present at one!


Yeah, it's just so expensive.  Plus, with how sharp and detailed high-quality televisions are these days, it's almost more comfortable to just sit on a comfortable couch and enjoy the game from the comfort of your own home instead of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on tickets and fighting crowds.  I'm sure its certainly a once in a lifetime type of experience actually witnessing it live though.


Yes-it's way too much money to spend on the tickets. And, at my age, I am a lot happier on the sofa than on a hard bench. The crowds, too, are getting nasty-a sign of the times.


Agreed.  Crime is also a big deal here in St. Louis.  Unfortunately it makes people think twice before spending time downtown, especially late at night.  I've had friends get their cars broken into while attending Cardinals games and also get harassed by "bad guys" late at night too.  It's just hard to argue actually spending money to go to the ballpark and watch a game when you have to worry about all that.  Watching baseball for free at home sounds pretty good.


Good morning!  I generally don't like rap, but do like a select few songs/artists.  Dr. Dre, Beastie Boys, Notorious BIG, etc. are ones that I find some enjoyment in.  How about yourself?


Crime is a problem at these venues. It happens in all big cities now. I have never been to St Louis but a lot of my cousins live near Jonesboro, AK and they have. My cousin Sharon said it was a beautiful place. Really nice talking to you!


It is, you should visit sometime!  Nice talking to you too; enjoy your Sunday!


I like Eminem. I think it is good that people have this way of expressing themselves musically also.


Absolutely; I do feel that it has much more appeal with the black community, but is also a type of music that any race or ethnicity can enjoy.  I have heard many Eminem songs and enjoy some.  My biggest problem with rap music is that many times its very explicit.  How do you feel about the explicit nature of many of the lyrics?


I do not like them. I think that music should be fun and enjoyable and bring out positive emotions. Rap can be very degrading and I do not think that the language is enjoyable. I can swear like that too but I would prefer to do it alone when I am really mad. It's not appropriate in a song.


Agreed.  Especially with how violent and hateful our current culture is, I feel the violent/degrading lyrics only help produce hateful emotion in people.  I appreciate the talent of rappers that can produce quality music without tons of swearing or using digitized auto-tuning.


We seem to live in a violent society right now. I don't think it got that way by accident. Our culture is being manipulated by people who hate and it's showing up in our music and videos. I am hoping the future will be better. I really enjoyed the 50's when people had moral principle-something that is lacking now.


Right, people seemed to have much more humility back then and were much more respectful.  I feel like a big contributor to the aggressive/violent culture is the anonymity of social media.  Anyone can say anything behind the shadow of a computer screen and it creates a lot of vitriol.  How long ago did rap become first introduced into our society?


I am not sure when rap showed up. Seems like it was a budding art form in the 60's. Black people invented rock and roll and they should have stuck with that and jazz-which are great music styles. I think after the segregation mess and Dr. King, this hatred became a part of their music.


Right. For many artists it certainly seems to be a way to express their inner anger and frustration.  Even though I'm not a big fan of rap, I am a very big baseball fan... playing it, watching it, everything!  How about you?


yes, the guy has got some weird ideas. recently they might have found a cure. i bet kanye would have something to say about that too.


Oh I'm sure he does! He did once give his mic to a fan in a wheelchair at a concert so he gets some credit from me haha.


i guess he can find his heart from time to time. he did meet with the president. i bet they could do an album together. LOL


That would be interesting and scary to say the least! I want to be famous someday so I can see the secret room at pixar!


i would like to see it too. i wonder if there is a list of people who have seen it. it sounds interesting.


I bet it's like an old couch and sega genesis in there haha. It seems like more and more celebs do animation work these days.


yeah, a small fridge. some beer neon signs. yeah. nothing special except its exclusive. true.


And it's probably Busch Light too haha. I wish I was getting that Judge Judy money!


she must have millions by this point. i dont know how many years she has done it but she has a distinct style.


no im not really into rap. do you listen to rap?


She really does! I'll go look to see what she is worth. It was great chatting with you, have an awesome day!


I do sometimes when I'm in the mood. I do like the history of it!


i do not know much about the history of the genre. i know that it has grown fast in popularity.


It really has! Even judges rap to people like Eminem in court.


i wonder if he would be impressed by that. can judges do a good job rapping? can they spit fire?


I'm sure they drop the ruling like it's going out of style! Did you know Busta Rhymes voiced Reptar in the Rugrats?


i think busta was in a couple of movies too. he seems to be a multi talented guy.


He does! I wonder what happened to him? I like him better than Kanye West!


i think that he is more humble than kanye. kanye has some odd ideas too.


Hi there! How are you today? I'm good, just hanging out watching a little TV


Yes they can. I've heard even Pixar Studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities.


Behind the scenes it is not always what it appears to be.  Did you know the NFL is legally recognized as an entertainment business?


No, I did not know that but I'm not really surprised. I do find football to be very fun.


Entertainment, as an industry, is seemingly unlimited in what it can contain.


Yes, I agree. Did you know that around 50 bc Ceaser found that people bred chickens not for food, but for entertainment?


Yeah, it's amazing to find out the true origins of the things we do today.


Yes. I find it especially funny that Ronald Reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment exec didn't think he has that presidential look. So funny!


I think it's interesting that FDR was the last president to speak a foreign language fluently.  I wonder why he was the last one.


Yeah, that is odd. I'd figure all of the Presidents would be better educated than that!


Yeah.  Woodrow Wilson is the only president that had a phd!


I am good.  I am sure then you have seen some news about Donald Trump.


Are you kidding? I would think it would be something more had. Wow.


I have, but I think a lot is made up and made to make him look bad.


Whatever the case, I suppose he will need to develop a stronger understanding of black voters if he wants to be successful.


Yes, although I have heard that Kanye had made some tweets in support of Trump.


Yeah.  Lots of things in politics world or the celebrity world are given more attention than they would otherwise be given if they were not in such worlds.  Paris Hilton for example was in the Guinness book of world records for being extremely overrated.


Yeah, I do think she is overrated. I also think Judge Judy is overrated, but she makes 123k per episode! Crazy.


YouTube can even make people rich now.  Jenna Marble makes almost 350 thousand per year.  Making money your own way in this country is such a reality now!


Holy cow! That is more than I can even imagine!!


Yeah.  Celebrities can have such interesting lives.


Why would a liberal news network want a conservative guest?


I think so that they can attempt to make them look like a liar or a fool or whatever negative thing they can think of.


That is true. Did you hear about that time in 1957 when Truman refused to be photographed with Dumbo


No I didn't. That's funny. Maybe Dumbo wasn't crazy about the idea either.


Yeah.  Maybe they should have brought Eeyore out


Okay now I understand. He'd make a good mascot for the Demos.


Definitely.  Did you know the red and blue colors started being used in 2000?


No I had no idea. Did you know that every president with a beard has been a Republican?


Yes I love watching the news. How about you?


I heard that.  I wonder how many presidents had beards, I know lincoln, but who else?


I can't think of any. I can't imagine someone getting elected today who even has a mustache.


I love the information, but everything these days is so slanted from both sides sometimes it is hard to get.


Right there is not one source out there that you can trust. I hate the news outlets, but still need to see what's going on.


Much agreed.  I find that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.  The media tries to create outrage for their ratings.


Exactly. That's why I watch both CNN and Fox. It kind of helps me to sort through the muck.


Fox is watched more than Cnn and MSNBC combined.  Kinda crazy to think that.


I think Fox is slightly more honest than the other two.


Fox news threatened to sue the simpsons over their constant parody.


I didn't know that. I don't watch the Simpsons. I know CNN is whining because they can't get any conservative guests. Why would you want to go on their show and be abused.


Did you know government officials in ancient Athens were appointed by a lottery?


I can't recall one in my years of political awareness.  Did you know there is a con man if France that has sold the Eiffel Tower twice?


I've heard of gullible tourists being sold part of London Bridge before, so that's not surprising. As P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."


Yeah, I've heard the same about the Brooklyn Bridge.  Did you know the gov't owns 86% of Nevada?  Probably BLM land...


I had a friend who worked for BLM in Colorado. Not quite the same, but there's a whole lot of nothing in Nevada. I think the BLM was established to prevent the Range Wars. People were shooting at each other over grazing areas back in the 1800s.


Well that's really good information.  I have hiked on BLM land in Colorado and, yes, it was mainly ranchers.  Well, I've been trying to read this article about Trump and gov't shutdowns.  I'm sooooo sick of this stuff.  Think what you want of Trump, I don't think he is being treated fairly by media,


There's got to be a better way about funding the government, period, so the whole prospect of shutdowns doesn't happen. I think that literally didn't happen until Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House in the 1990s, and it really cost him his political career. Shutdowns hurt the economy, hurt families, just for political theatre.


I lived in ATL for over 20 years.  His inability to control his libido killed him. The gov't shutdown has become a club to push through bad legislation.  I agree, there has to be a better way.


So you know Newt, after all. Yeah--I'm kinda sick of how these failed politicians keep getting jobs as talking heads and making a lot of money on the lecture circuity. I call it failing upwards.


Yeah, we seem to be a nation that rewards corruption.  I seriously can't believe Hillary is walking the streets let alone making speeches.  I've had DoD and DoE secret, L and Q clearances and if I had my own server at home slinging classified doc's I would, in NO uncertain terms, be in prison.


Going back to the Greeks, it seems they had a point about the lottery for serving the public. There's something pathological about someone saying "I want to be your leader."


I seem to remember something about that. It was supposed to prevent tyranny.


Like Patton said when asked if he was going to go into politics after WW II.  He said he was going to skip that and go directly into crime. Nice chat, I can tell you are really bright.


Have a good evening. I, like most of us, are going to muddle through and hope that things will get better.


Maybe the US should try it.  The two party thing isn't working too well. Nevada has it right with a "None of the Candidates" choice.


The Constitution wasn't framed in a way to handle political parties. I'm not sure what the way forward should be.


I think parties divide the nation and people work more for their idiot parties and ignore the nation as a whole.


It's a form of tribalism--people get so wrapped up in identifying with a political party that they forget we're all in it together.


Agreed.  Catholics used to be the backbone of the Dem's but since the 1970s, they have split evenly.  Things can change.


Political shifts are part and parcel of American history. I wonder if we'll ever have viable third (or fourth or fifth) parties in this country. That seems more likely in a parliamentary system.


Yes and I don't know.  Funny, every US president with a beard has been a republican.  What's up with that?


Must have been the style at the time--or an homage to Lincoln. I don't think there's been a president with a beard since Garfield. (I'm thinking back at the photos and paintings I remember.)


Did you know youtube is the second largest search engine on the net?


Thats true, they are just normal people deep down. But thats what happens when your famous. I guess its the cost of getting so much money


It's honestly a little creepy how obsessive people get over celebrities. Like freaking out on social media when she wasn't in the Christmas card picture.


Its not like they aren't soaking in the attention though. They are everywhere on social media


That's true. Kim even wrote a book about how much she takes selfies and was a force behind the 'selfie movement.' So yeah, not really doing anything to discourage attention. And, as we mentioned, that's kind of all they're famous for.


Kylies youtube page posted an 11 min video that documented her pregnancy


Lol, so much for keeping it private. I feel sorry for all their kids. It has to be weird growing up with all that going on. Do you think they ever get the chance to be like normal kids?


I highly doubt it. They grew up with the cameras in their face. I wouldn't be surprised if they are already considered social media influencers


I'm not going to go looking for them, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kim and Kanye's three kids already have social media accounts.


There is probably this family wouldnt do to stay relevant Somehow their tv show still runs


Well, as long as people buy into it, I guess you can't blame them for doing what works. Kim was the highest-paid tv personality in 2015, making more than $53 million. I can think of a few things I'd do with that much money.


No, I didn't know that, but I suppose it makes sense now that I think about it. What kind of YouTube videos do you like?


Kylie is the youngest billionaire as well so I guess I wouldnt complain in their situation


Im into diy stuff and reviews on certain items. What about you?


Mostly entertainment and celebrity news, stuff like that. I kind of love to hate the Kardashians.


its crazy how much success they have! They're marketing team is really good. Being famous for being famous


Yeah, but it's super weird. I don't think anyone ever heard of them until fairly recently. Where did they even come from? I don't know if it's because they knew the right people or what... I mean, the Jenners are known because (formerly) Bruce Jenner was an actor, but other than that, I have no idea.


Kim use to be Paris Hiltons personal assistant. But got a lot of attention for dating singer ray J


Ah. And then married Kanye. Good for her, I guess.


Shes surprisingly not the only famous one in her family. Kylie has made a huge name for herself


Yes, but again, she doesn't seem to actually do much of anything. Really I think the whole family could do with less attention. I do think it was a good decision to keep her pregnancy low-key, at least at first. People like to make a big deal about celebrities' personal lives when it's really none of their business.


Maybe. I feel we are different than animals though since we lost our body hair 240,000 years ago


HMMM, good point! I agree with that one! I know that there is a frequency that can cause fear in humans and maybe that is the sound  hear on bad dates? lol


Maybe! That is something even our larger brains cannot avoid


Yeah, big brains! I wouldn't mind taking a date bowling sometimes. A funny fact is that bowlers made twice as much as football team stars in the 19630's. Not so much now, thats for sure!


Yeah viewing a sporting event would distract you from a bad date. As long as your team is winning!


Yes, winning is always more fun! I am a huge football fan and love watching college football too. The highest scoring game of all time was 222-0. That had to feel like forever!


Yeah surprised they didn't call mercy. you think Cumberland had a pink locker room that game?


Oh yeah, pink was really a low blow. I think it must be a way to get into their head before game time.


Benjarvis Green Ellis is my favorite player because he never fumbled


Yeah, mine too! He played for the Patriots. That is amazing. He was a running back like no others!!


Oh yeah, I have been on the bad date and have probably been the bad date, a couple times. Lol. Meetups are really hard to master.


It was nice talking to you! have a great day!


It is really hard at first because everyone can be shy at times especially meeting someone for the first time


Right, exactly. Its a good technique to ask a reciprocal question, tell a story or launch a conversation down a rabbit hole. This is a way to get it going.


That's a good tip! And if things aren't going as planned it's always ok to politely exit


Yes, people tend to forget they are free to leave. I like that wisdom and tactic. You can also play a game in your mind, challenging yourself to be entertained by the whole meeting/date.


You can also try using date spots that you already enjoy


Yes, that is genius! Just enjoy yourself and try to share something together. Maybe somewhere outdoors.


Would you ever ask to join someone else's board game on a date?


Yes, I probably would before people were so suspicious of each other, now days. I connect with animals more than people sometimes. I recently learned that almost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin c while humans can not. This might explain why? lol


I didnt know that I love to shop at Amazon, do you ?


Absolutely. I have a package coming tomorrow, good thing the USPS has that contract with Amazon.


It is a good thing did you hear about that clock that Bezos had built into a mountain?


I did not. Is there a reason why, or is it another publicity stunt, like naming a buiding after the first customer?


Might be, and that customer sure got a great deal spending $28 dollars and then also getting your name on a building


Sure did. I wonder if he gives George Strait a discount, since they are cousins?


George Strait as in the legend of country George Strait?


Thats so cool, that family sure has a talentd bunch in it and Im guessing he does get discounts at the site


I took a tour of an Amazon warehouse near me, and learned that their employees walk between 7 and 15 miles per shift. That is mind blowing.


I don't think there is anyone in a first-world country that doesn't. Even the library of Alexandria has a saved copy of it.


Thats a big distance, workers must end really tired at the end of the day!!


I guess thats a great thing in the event the internet goes down, there can be wars if that happens, we rely on the internet so much that is a possibility


I guess. I would have loved to have been at the concert when U2 opened for themselves, and played country music.


Not really. I like music though, and play guitar. That's why it's hard for me to believe that the Fender Stratocaster was originally intended for country music.


That is a great guitar seems like it would go to waste for country music, that guitat has a lot of potential


It sure does. Surprisingly, there are only 2 African Americans in the country music hall of fame, and there are a lot that play.


Only two of them, wow, I guess there are more running backs and wide receivers then


I guess. Did you know that IMDB is owned by Amazon?


Yeah me too, it makes watching the game from home much better and easier


That is true. Have you ever been to that huge stadium in Texas?


It is huge. It can sit more than 18000 people and it cost $60 million


That is a lot of money and a lot of seats. Do you watch basketball too?


I do actually sometimes. Did you know it was invented in the YMCA along with volleyball


Oh did not know that, pretty cool .Do you know who invented it?


I do not know the name of the guy do you know who it was?


Yeah it was James Naismith, he was a coach at U of Kansas and the only losing coach in their history.


Wow that is very intriguing. Back to football, US has more than half of the largest stadiums in the world


Hi there I sure do. Did you know snoop dogg wrote a song for his son's school team?


Wow I guess it makes sense since it is such a big sport here.


That is pretty cool. The U of Iowan visitor locker room is pink


Hmm wonder what that is about. Football coaches are the highest paid .


That is a lot of money there. Bowlers used to make more in the 60s


It was a more popular sport back then so I can see how that worked


Yeah exactly. Do you know what the highest score in college football is?


Yeah it was 222-0 when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland


Yeah that is it. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy?


Yeah they won it for the superimposed yellow line and I am glad they invented that


That is a big coincidence for sure. did you know there is an ancient thatre in crotia that is still used as a concert venue?


do you like Foo Fighters? I guess when they played in New Zealand their show showed up on the earthquake monitors


that is mind blowing. and creed held a concert and it was so bad people sued them


haha I would be so embarrassed to be sued for that actually, did you know the Republican party started back in 1854?


yeah they have been around for so long. along with the democrats. do you know why it is called GOP?


I think it's Grand Old Party? Did you hear about the Bull Moose Party? It was made by a Teddy Roosevelt and other progressive Republicans


no I have not heard about that. Did you know all presidents have been either republicans or democrats since 1853?


I did hear about that, also that Hillary Clinton was a republican in college, weird!


I know and now she goes against them, go figure. did you know every republican president has had a beard?


hi I do, I went to Lollapalooze last year, it was in Chicago, what about you?


nice, yeah me too I like them a lot. do you know linkin park?


I have heard of them, I haven't seen their concert though, you?


They have held many concerts, 324 in 2011 alone


wow that is impressive, also impressive Abba turned down a 100 concert tour, even though they'd be paid over a billion dollars!


wowww that is a lot. do you know the ramones?


I have heard of them yes, I don't really like them but I know they play a lot of concerts right?


yeah they do. they played for 20 years straight


ya that is insane, do you like Dave Matthews band?  I guess a woman helped a random cyclist who turned out to be the man himself!


Right and who keeps playing after that? If it was like 100-0 I would give up and quit to be honest


I know right, like 100 is enough lets just call the game, did you hear about ESPN and the Emmy the network won?


Because of the creation of the yellow firt down line


wow, that is amazing! i love that line, it makes it so easy to see how far they have to go. I used to think it was real as a kid lol


Thats funny lol, so what are your thoughs on QB? I think they are the most important player on the team


I like a good quarterback and a smart one, have  you heard of alex smith?


Yeah I have seen him play, never knew he was a smart person as well


for sure, he got his degree his sophomore year of college, then masters, then became the #1 pick! Good chatting with you!


Oh sounds like he is a man with many skills, thats impressive, its been nice chatting.


I love it also, I am a Iowa Hawkeye fan, they paint their locker room pink for the visiting teams


Do you know why they did that? sounds like a funny strategy,


Something about psyching the other team out if I remember right. It works i think!


I guess it must have an effect on opposing teams, crazy how top bowleres earned more money than fooball players back in 1960


I wonder what that difference is now in pay!


It must be a huge difference in favor of pro football players of course, football is a lot more popular now


i agree, I can't even name one famous bowler. Did you hear about the game that was 222-0?


I did hear about that one, it was hard to watch I guess, who loses by that much


I didn't really like it, but it won The Golden Globe for the best comedy series in 1997. That's surprising considering the competition. It beat Seinfeld, Friends and Frasier!


I was never a fan of Frasier but I would easily pick Seinfeld or Friends above 3rd Rock From the Sun.


Are you a Bill Murray fan? I love Bill Murray?


How can anyone not be a fan of Bill Murray? I like that he thinks Kung Fu Hustle is "The supreme achievement of modern age in terms of comedy."


As much as I love him I'm going to have to disagree with him on that one. It's a bit too zany for me. Do you like Monty Python?


I do like Monty Python. It's ironic that I'm learning computer programming. There's a language that I'm learning called Python. It was actually named partly in honor of Monty Python.


I just learned that recently. I love that it's named after that and I don't know how I never guessed that or put it together.


I had learned it recently, it's pretty interesting. Did you know that "The Green Lantern" was originally going to be a comedy starring Jack Black? I wonder if they were trying to make it like Deadpool?


I do too, it's sad that there's not as many comedies on NBC like there used to be. They had Seinfeld, Friends, 30-Rock, The Office, Park and Rec, now it's mostly dramas.


Well honestly it couldn't have made it any worse. I'm glad that Ryan Reynolds did get to do a properly good superhero movie with Deadpool later after that.


I agree. Are you familiar with the comic Demetri Martin>


I've heard of him. He was on the Daily Show. Wasn't he going to Harvard before he got into comedy?


Yes. Harvard law actually. He left because he was bored and pursued comedy. Can you imagine?


Wow, well he made good gamble. Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school to pursue comedy.


I remember him, he was on Whose Line Is It Anyway. I didn't know he dropped out.


He's hilarious on that show. I have to admit I do like the genre called Bromantic comedies, Harold and Kumar, The Hangover, and Pineapple Express are some of my favorite movies.


I like them also. I Love You Man is another example that I really enjoyed.


That was a good one. Did you ever watch 3rd Rock From The Sun in the later 90s?


What are your thoughts on Quantom computers?


Interesting! theres also another theory that states that the universe is a giant superhologram


Yes, very cool to think about! In theory there is a cold spot  that has a link to a parallel universe!


I wonder if that's true, there's so much we don't know about the universes, for instance some stars are cold enough we could actually touch them


Really, I never thought of that. That would be exciting! Jupiter is so large it protects the earth from asteroids.


Its our savior I guess, must be nice to visit Jupiter some day, there is a region of space that is pulling galaxies away from the observable universe


Wow! I didn't know in Canada the Hudson Bay area has less gravity than the rest of the earth!


You might feel lighter there then,  sad how 80% of our forests have been destroyed already


Yes, I saw that, upsetting!! Now when I look up at the moon, the universe is so vast you could place all the planets between and still have space.


It looks so close by but in reality its so far away, the moon amazes me, a lot of beauty


I agree! I wonder how they know the earths magnetic field reverses every 200 to 300 thousand years? Good chat!


Hello, I need to do more research on that? What do you think?


I wonder if we are close to that! interesting chat, thanks.


I think that they can be great but also dangerous, more dangerous than AI really


I see that! Stephen Hawkings warned us about runway artificial intelligence.


He was a really smart man so we should pay attention to his comments, Elon Musk is another one that has warned us


Yes, I have seen him too! I agree. its a worry. Do the planets interest you?


I am amazed by planets yeah, the universe is full with wonders and incredible planets


Yes, they say the universe may exist in a black hole!


For real? that sounds like a crazy theory, but could be right, theres a lot of things we dont know about the  universe


True, The deepest note in the universe produces 57 octaves below middle c.


Interesting, it seems like something that they would do in the UK.


Yeah, the cat had the daily duties of looking for mice and occupying the house to hunt for them. I like the Harry Potter books and films do you?


Interesting. Did you know if you turn 100 in Japan you get a silver cup to celebrate?


Oh I didn't know that , thats cool. I heard that they do a lot pranks over there too. For instance a radio station prank called the Queen.


Yep, the did. They pretended to be the Canadian Prime Minister. This happened in 1995 so things might be a lot different now.


This is so funny. I wonder if they got in trouble?


I bet somebody knocked on their doors at some point.  Afterall, the Prime Minister is he head of the cabinet and the leader of the ministers in the executive branch of government. In many systems the Prime Minister selecs and may dismiss other members of the cabinet and they allocate posts to members. They prob dont like pranks.


Did you know that the president of indonesia has released 3 albums while in office?


What! That's a weird thing for a president to do. I wonder how he had time for that. I like our system and presidents jobs because they don't make music.


Oh yeah. It's My favorite pastime. I like South PArk, Do you? I also like Simpsons.


Yeah, maybe he was a musician before getting into office. Nice chatting with you.


I like South Park and the Simpsons, both were good.


Yeah, only one episode in SImpsons did not mention or have Bart on it. They had a great run with that show though.


Interesting, I don't know why that would occur, was the actor sick?


Good question, I don't know. I watched a lot of Pokemon episodes with the kids and they had over 750. They had so many that it could run for 16 years straight.


WOW! That is a lot of episodes isn't it. What about that 70s show, do you watch it?


Hmmm,  didn't watch it very much but I think they have a UK remake.


Yeah, I heard it failed and got canceled in 10 episodes. Hilarious.


Oh crazy. I would l like to visit the UK. The Prime MInister lives on Downing Street. He has a cat with the official title of chief mouse to the cabinet office. ;p;


I know. I think it's well over 100 billion. Do you think we will see it disappear one day like MySpace?


Haha I think given enough time anything is possible haha. speaking of a long time, do you ever listen to the radio? I know that it came out about 100 years ago or so


It's funny I don't really listen to the radio at all anymore. It's been replaced by podcasts and Spotify for me. Do you still listen to the radio?


Only very rarely when I'm driving to work and I don't want to put music from my phone on haha. Have you ever heard of a Foxhole radio before?


Haha yeah I think my dad made something similar for me for a science project one. A handmade radio right?


I think so. They use them in World War II. They use the razor blade in a pencil, but don't ask me how that makes a radio LOL


I wonder if they can pick up the radio storms from Jupiter


Haha might try that on my way to work, you can take those Jupiter radio storms up on the a.m. Radio, which I definitely don't listen to lol


It would be funny if we caught an alien on there somehow chatting it up. Anyway it was great chatting with you!


Haha I would listen to alien radio! I would also listen to Canadian radio because apparently 40% of Canadian radio has to be sourced from Canadian music


Hey there yes I am. What about you? I never knew that myspace actually turned down an offer to buy Facebook back in 2005


I try not to use it but I still have it lol. I know. What a difference if Tom from MySpace was running things instead of Zuckerberg.


Yeah Zuckerberg is peculiar. Also he's color-blind which I never knew, that's why Facebook is mostly blue in terms of its color scheme


Can you believe Iceland is rewriting their Constitution via Facebook?


Now that's weird, I think it's strange that the public can make suggestions and alterations, what if someone puts something crazy like free chocolate for everyone haha, did you know that the Facebook like button is actually illegal in one of the German states?


Likes are illegal in Germany? I guess I could see why


ya the like button is illegal in the German state schleswig-holstein, I think it's legal in the rest of Germany though


Hmm interesting. Burger King will give you a free whopper if you unfriend 10 people. I might have to start doing that lol


Yeah I remember that promotion. I'm really hungry right now so I wish it were still going on haha. I can't believe that Facebook is now worth over 100 billion dollars, that's crazy


Disney has made quality family-fare for decades. It really appeals to kids. It is hard to find another company like that.


Yes I agree with you. Disney is also the largest Independent Media conglomerate to. They have a ton of money. alSo they have 14 theme parks around the world


They are a behemoth. No one can equal them. They should probably branch out into other stuff as well. Maybe online, like Netflix.


They are making their own version of Netflix actually. And Disney movies are going to be on there and taken away from Netflix. So that's going to be in true. You know what Minnie Mouse's real name is btw?


Disney had to eventually move into Netflix's domain. The Disney properties are too valuable. Minnie? Minnetonka? Minneola? Minimum?


Haha it's actually Minerva. Very shocking LOL. Do you know that people search out the"Hidden Mickey Mouse"images in all of the Disney movies?


Disney is cunning, hiding things in their products. I bet that's a game that adults like to play as they watch with their kids.


Yeah I think so. Have you ever seen the movie Big Hero 6 by the way? I thought it was ok, but it took a 55000 core supercomputer to render that movie, pretty crazy huh


I haven't seen it, but the tech for animation is astounding now. I figure in the future, million-core rendering is possible.


Yeah I think so. I can't wait until we have 55000 core supercomputers in our houses LOL. Have you ever seen the movie Flubber by the way?


Hey there I'm good. What about you? You ever watch Netflix?


Flubber? Are there two of them? Haven't seen either.


Right there are two movies. One was made a long time ago, the other was made in the 90s with Robin Williams, apparently the Robin Williams one Bill Nye the Science Guy was one of the technical consultants LOL I don't know how realistic that movie is though


I used to watch Netflix. Don't now. It's got a tremendous number of subscribers.


Yes I agree with you! It's crazy how much they spend on their exclusive content to, they went into debt of two billion dollars back in October in order to fund all of the new content that they're making


I guess the lenders saw the potential. Their market cap is quite high, so I guess investors see the potential or they would have balked at that capex.


Yeah I agree, it's also crazy how much it would cost to ship the DVDs though. It costs 20 times more money than just streaming. It's all so crazy that Netflix takes up a third of all internet bandwidth from 9 a.m. To 12am


The postage is necessary to reach people in places with low bandwidth. I would expect that arrangement to continue because those customers could eventually convert to Netflix online. Plus, Netflix doesn't want other companies to take those customers now.


Yeah I agree with you. I do think it's funny though how Netflix got started. The founder was stuck with a $40 late fee for renting Apollo 13 LOL that is a good movie but that would really make me mad too


He did something to fix a problem that he thought many people faced. He saw the opportunity and ran with it. Good for him.


Yes I agree with you. What about Disney, do you like the Walt Disney Company?


Have you ever eaten popcorn with chopsticks?


Certainly there are a lot more obstacles to avoid in video games!  I rarely have boulders coming down the road at me.  Though the hardest part for teenagers is drive thrus


Thank goodness we don't have all those obstacles on the road coming at you! It's bad enough to get stuck in rush hour traffic!


Yes.  10 mph is easier to deal with than 100 for sure.  Though perhaps not in South Africa - where it is legal to have flame throwers on your car


Whoa! Don't mess with cars in South Africa! I think, though, I might like to try out that Dutch commuter bus they're creating that will travel at 160 mph.


Yes that does sound crazy!  I do want to travel to Europe - though Iceland does not have any trains - just airplanes to get from town to town


Europe would be fun. I don't think I would like to go to Iceland, trains or not, just because it sounds very cold!


Greenland is colder than Iceland!  Japan is expensive though - all of their highways are tolled


Yeah, that roll highway thing would be a pain in the neck! It would greatly increase your travel expenses. I think it would be cool to try out Mackinac island and travel the old fashioned way, by horse drawn carriages. That would be cool!


Yes a slow pace of life for sure.  I bet the Hawaiian king who was the first to travel the world had a slow pace of life as well.


It's funny, but the slow pace of life was how the world worked until recent times. Now we are very impatient, we want quick travel, instant access, all that.


No, how about you? Have you eaten it in any unconventional way?


Yes - and everything is online.  I could not live without my Reddit for social media.


No I have not.  But apparently you will find popcorn much more enjoyable if you do!  When you pay more attention to something enjoyable, they enjoy it more.


That's what the article said. I've thrown popcorn into the air and tried to catch it in my mouth. It did make eating popcorn fun. But I can't think of an unconventional way I've consumer water, can you?


There are lots of ways!  Shipping envelopes, pringles cans (though I prefer win those), even martini glasses.  Use your creativity!


I think I'd like to try an unconventional way to eat pizza instead. I don't think I would be very successful eating it with chopsticks, but blindfolded might be fun. Does that sound fun to you?


It could be - the restaurant which is pitch black could be interesting too - I have no idea how those waiters find the tables though


Ha, ha! So true! Did you enjoy learning the stuff about cars? I thought it was interesting why they call the trunk of your car a trunk. It seems so funny now!


Yes it does make sense.  I want to become a professional race car driver though - I am pretty good at video games


Are you really? I find driving in video games to be harder than driving on the road in a real car. I can see how it could help you with your driving skills.


Do you like Steven Spielberg?  Did you know he played the clarinet on the soundtrack for Jaws?


She doesn't like her photo taken either and walks backwards to avoid having it taken.


That's kind of bizarre. She was the youngest artist to win Album of the Year at the Grammy's


Do you like reading?  If you were in the 18th century and liked it, you may have been confronted with your parents scolding you due to "moral panic."


Haha. Too funny! There is a lady that can read 4700 words a minute!


I wonder how fast Tolkien and Lewis could read?  They used to read bad poetry together and have "you laugh you lose" competitions.


That must have been funny! Did you read Enders Game?


No I didn't.  That was suggested to military groups including the US Marine Corps.  Did you read it?


I heard that too. No, I haven't. Starship Troopers is on the military reading list, too.


Did you hear of Daft Punk?  They negotiated their Tron legacy soundtrack over a pancake breakfast wearing their trademark robot helmets.


I've heard of them but never listened. That's pretty funny!


Phil Collins seems to be well versed in languages.  He did recordings of tarzan in english, italian, german, spanish, and french


Wow. That's cool! The soundtrack for O brother, where art thou went platinum 8 times!


I never even heard of that.  But interestingly, each track of batman is named after a different genus or family of bats.  Weird..


That is weird! Do you like Taylor Swift?


She is okay.  Apparently, she owns a dassault falcon private jet worth $40 million and an airport hangar in Nashville international airport.  I guess she does a lot of travel!


Wow! Pretty cool. I didn't realize she was from Pennsylvania.


Yes,indeed.  She doesn't have music on Spotify though because she doesn't feel music should be free


She probably doesn't have to, she makes tons selling it!


Well a computer monitors the subject's subconscious activities and since it is sentient, unexpected complications arise s it acts on its own grief over a recent death within the lab setting.


Is there anything in particular that happens with their subconsciousness?


i recently read that the participent's minds are allowed to experience a variety of characters, accents, and appearances in their subconscious state. While normally each subconscious was to its own story, the grieving machine melds Owen and Annie's subconscious so they mutually share their subconscious experience.


Wow! can you imagine sharing a conciseness with the opposite sex? Blockbuster rejected Netflix aquirment for 50 million, now Netflix is worth 2billion.


I bet Blockbuster regrets that choice kind of like how Myspace rejected buying Facebook. Wait does blockbuster even still exist to regret that choice?


If they are they have to be on there last leg. Reed Hasting got the ideal after racking up a late charge of $40 bucks.


Reed Hasting and Marc Randolph did a good job planning, executing, and founding Netflix given its userbase of 137 million subscribers. Did you know Youtuble and netflix together account for half the north american internet traffic?


That's deep. Apparently Netflix spend more on postage than bandwidth, times more.


From what we have discussed, I think netflix is currently doing and will continue to well in the foreseeable future, especially since it entered the original content production industry recently.


Yeah they released  original content in 2016, it's like another series or movie every other week.


I do and have since it's inception. They have come a long way.


In any case, thank you for the enjoyable chat. I look forward to seeing Netflix's Maniac.


You got it i enjoyed it have a wonderful week.


From my limited understanding, Netflix is a subscription based services that has dominated the previous market occupied by Blockbuster. How do you think the company is doing in producing quality content?


Well there in 190 countries so they should be doing very well. My personal opinion is that they are on the rise even with the debt.


What do you think about their recent original content, Maniac?


I haven't seen the previews for that one. Is that the one with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill?


Yes, I hear it is a retro futuristic show centering on subconscious love between Owen, a schizophrenic and loner, and Annie, a addict finding relief by knocking herself out with a psychotropic drug.


She finds relieve from addiction by using psychotropic drugs, ha! Let me guess it's a top secrete three day drug thing, i think i read that some where.


They both are part of a test group for a experimental drug aimed at curing mental illness or mental negativity.


If Only! Is there some type of artificial intelligence involve in this story?


I didn't hear about that. That would be awesome to hear I think lol. Have you heard it?


I havent but I have to YouTube that video now lol! I wonder if its available the video was released in 1992


right, I am sure it is somewhere lol! Do you own an iphone?


I do have an iPhone, I am loyal to the Apple brand, do you have one?


Me too, I love it! Did you know it has more computing power than the entire US Nuclear ICBM deterrent, so much power!


Really? that is kind of scary, we should really upgrade our nuclear deterrent then, I didn't know I was packing so much power in my pocket.


Right lol. I think if they used newer technology, it may be easier to hack, just my opinion though. Did you ever own a rotary phone?


That would make sense, maybe they don't upgrade for security reasons and yeah I used to have one at home.


Apparently new yorks area code is 212 because it is simple to dial on a rotary phone. It was so nice chatting with you!


That seems really convenient but also kind of random now that we have digital phones, it was great chatting I agree, have a nice day bye.


I do, mine is Straight Outta Compton, whats yours my friend?


Nice, NWA! Their album went platinum without major air play or tours! I like Hybrid theory by linkin park


Yeah most bands go on mayor tours and then get some serious sales- another great album is The Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park.


right, I think they did like 324 shows in that year it came out. Crazy amount, but now the highest selling album of the 21st century.


That many? woah that is impressive, that must have taken a toll on them. Well their Hybrid Theory album is the best seller of the 21st century


For sure! Have you heard the album by pink floyd, dark side of the moon?


Yeah that is a great album one of my favorites in fact.


Nice, it has been on the best selling album list for like 40 years straight!


Really? 40 years straight, nice,did you hear about those twins from Japan that released a rap album at age 100


I agree too! I can't believe a michigan judge once delivered her ruling to eminem in the form of a rap haha.


That's kind of cool, I like it when people don't take themselves too seriously.  Like when Kanye made fun of himself on SNL.  If only he'd do it more.


All he has to do is talk and it happens haha. I give him props though, he once gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair at a concert. However, I'm sure he told a person to stand up in a wheelchair before too.....


Funny.  Are you one for hats?  Probably not a MAGA hat, but hat's in general?


I wear hats when I'm out hiking, but that is about it, how about you?


Generally not.  I'm originally from the UK so I guess most people would associate me with a bowler hat, but never really worn any type of hat.


It took me awhile to figure out what it looks like but now I know. Wasn't that the most popular hat in the old west too?


I'm guessing that is because of TV and movies, we get this idea of the way it is shown when reality is somewhat different. Being self deprecating, I'd say a dunces cap suits me well.


Well said! I think it suits me well too haha. That is where the conical party hat was derived from!


Or maybe we could give it to Mr West next time he wants to speak his mind to us.


Well, you may be on the other side of the fence but I like neither Kanye nor Trump.


Or just when he is walking around being the odd self he is. Anyways, I had a great chat with you, have an awesome day!


I couldn't have said it any better lol. That was such an odd meeting between them two a couple months ago!


I recall the time that Kanye stood up to a President when he perceived racism, now he seems to have flipped.  I guess they money makes a big difference,


A very big difference. He even thinks AIDS is a man-made disease!


People love a good conspiracy story.  I think that is how Trump does so well, people believe in the Deep State, and such.


I agree! What kind of music do you like to listen to?


I'm a kid of the eighties and nineties,  I never really moved on from that alternative rock scene.


Same here! I think rap has been a major significance in the last twenty years though huh?


There has been the odd rap song that I like, but for me it's cultural.  I'm just not from the environment most rappers are and can't appreciate their point of view.


Good morning!  It's a snowy day here and I was thinking of spending some time with a movie.  Do you like dramas?


LOL. Despite all this talk about dramas, I bet I will just watch some show about animals.  With over 20 quintillion individual ones on the earth, there is bound to be something interesting!


Yes, you might find one or two interesting things. :)  Maybe you can find a reality show about the Swiss lawyer that represents animals in court.  That could be fun.


Not sure about Switzerland, but I know for sure that animals have legal rights guaranteed by the German constitution.  Maybe a Judge Clifford the Big Red dog themed show?  LOL


That would be outstanding!  He could hear cases from all kinds of species since animals have complex interactions with each other, much like humans do.  I would watch that for sure.


There would be no shortage of cases!  Even the loch ness monster is protected per Scottish law.  You could just imagine a little cryptozoology cases that Clifford would hear as well.


Cases involving animals that can theoretically live forever would be intriguing as well.  I'm sure that a "biologically immortal" lobster could file a number of curious civil cases.


Wow!  Unfortunately for that lobster, a lot of the animals it would bring cases against might be long gone!  Also might be tough to get some 110 foot animals in the courtroom.


This idea has so many possibilities.  Even in animated form, it would be outstanding.  Zoologists could be creative/expert consultants, as could actual attorneys.  We may be on to something.


We might be in the wrong line of work!  There could be real debates and learning opportunities, like where do hiccups come from?  Are they really based on evolution and animals that had gills and lungs?


Yes!  And how can animals that speak different dialects still communicate?  How can dolphins communicate over a telephone?  We could really provide an entertaining and educational service to so many.  That would be fun.


I'm more of a comedy person myself, but I understand that drama is traditionally the middle ground between comedy and tragedy.


Really great chat!  I hope you have a great day!


I am with you.  I don't know that I will choose a drama, but the wife may have final say.  It's interesting that Jim Carrey won't do dramas now because they don't promote positivity.  It's a little weird, but he was always better in a comedic role.


That is surprising.  Patrick Stewart is a good dramatic actor.  He played a pretty good Macbeth and was awesome on Star Trek. :)  I guess he also teaches drama, so he does it all.


I wonder if he initially got into for the girls like Michael Caine did?  LOL!


Perhaps! I've heard that a lot of women find him attractive.  Maybe it's that Yorkshire dialect of his.


Maybe!  Beyond the pretty girls, it can make you a wealthier person as well.  Hugh Laurie was making like $700 K an episode while he starred in House.


Wow!  That's a pretty good gig.  I wonder what ancient dramatists like Aristotle would think of today's fare.  The genre has evolved so much since 335 BC.  It's interesting to think it's been around that long.


I agree or that its roots were more in poetry whereas today it's a lot different.  You might consider checking out a website that contains over 1,000 classic radio genres for your listening pleasure.


Oh wow, that's a lot of choices!  Radio soap operas are awesome.  I always liked the way they kept a listener hooked and waiting for the next episode.  The soap manufacturers that sponsored them in the early days knew that was where the money would be.


I could have swore they played recently, maybe they lost.  But anyway that was a long time ago, talk about a drought.


You know what is kind of odd?  The women's world cup had higher tv ratings than the world series, but baseball is supposed to be America's favorite pastime.


Id believe it, the world series is likely just watched in the US.  The entire world is invested in the world cup.


True.  I think Japan might be the only other country that really cares about the world series.  Baseball is extremely popular in that country.


So much so they are surprised we refer to it as out pastime.


They really are!  Over time we've changed our pastime though.  For the world series playoffs only started in 1969.


Wow, how did they do it before then?  I feel like the world series has been going forever


They just had the teams with the best records advance to championship.


That makes sense.  I do like watching the play offs, it is a huge money maker for the game.  If you can sell tickets to 4 games instead of one why not?


I do like the playoff system.  I think it's a great way to enjoy the game longer.


Hi, I do like to watch some games every now and then.  You know, I always wondered why the managers wear uniforms.


It truly is. I know my dad and I really bonded over the Stanley Cup playoffs last year.


Yeah, playoffs build excitement and hope for your team.


They do in case they need to play for their teams.  I wonder how many could actually play at that level?


I've never seen one play. After seeing some of them I imagine not all could play anymore.


They are a little more advanced in age.  Do you know how Babe Ruth ended the world series in 1926


Nope.  Stole a base with his team down in game seven, lost by one run.


Babe Ruth lost a game?  That's a shocker.  It's as much as shocker as the cubs winning the world series.


Yeah, that happens what, once every hundred years.


I think the ottomon empire was still in existence the last time they won.


Same here.  Although I do enjoy looking at news stories on Facebook, I do occasionally still watch the news.


No, dont find them to reliable.   But I do like the Simpsons.


The Simpsons are the best, they wanted to have channel that aired only The Simpsons, I would watch  that channel.


Yeah!  It would be like a Simpsons Marathon all the time!


Nice idea, the Fox News Channel also threaten to sue The Simpsons once, I guess they have a weird relationship


The Simpsons is always making fun of them.


They are making fun of them, did you know Fox News was created by Richard Nixon?


Yeah he created the channel with republican strategist Richard Ailes, so they were the ones after the proyect.


In a scale of 1 to 10? I would have to say 100, Facebook is really cool


I agree with you, seems a bit biased though, anyway its been great chatting with you


It is, I am totally addicted too.  Zuckerburg is surely a genius.


He is a genius I agree, the company is worth a lot of money by now


They sure did, they had the change to buy the company for $75 million I guess they didnt put much faith on Facebook.


I guess they didn't one thing is certain, they regret not buying Facebook big time, did you ever hear about that Whopper promotion?


Yeah!  May I could have eaten pretty well with that one.


Yeah and clean up my Facebook page at the same time, I wish I knew about that promotion when it was active


I guess you can get millions of results in less than a second so I believe it! Do you know how google maps works?


You mean by calculating traffic by monitoring Android devices?  Why not iPhones?  Apple would probably sue them...


They probably would. It goes to show that Android users are always being watched lol.


It is kind of scary... Scary like Google using goats to mow the lawn.  I would hate to get that vet bill.


Haha I agree! Do you know any facts about the moon?


A few.  I know that it has a peak that is higher than Mt. Everest at 1,938 meters higher. No fair, the moon has 1/6th the gravity.


How can people even calculate that haha.


Slide-rules?  Mars has lame moons.  They aren't even spherical. There best moon, Phobos, is hollow and looks like a tortured potato.


Haha that would be a sight to see! Some say it was artifical in origin! Anyways, nice chatting with you!


Yeah, I think I saw the aliens that did it the other night and then they quit giving me beer.  Wow, there may be life on Saturn's moon Titan...


Great.  Do you like to go to concerts? Wow, Linkin Park played 324 concerts in the year 2001!


Haha maybe they were the ones? Have a good one!


I do! That is crazy! I guess the success of an album can do that!


Even the Ramones have played 2,263 concerts.  They toured non-stop for over 20 years.  No wonder they wanted to be sedated!


haha too funny! Can you believe Creed was sued once for a terrible concert they put on?


That must have been a really bad concert.  I guess 4 people sued.  I have to wonder if they were in the same group or law firm.  Sounds frivolous...


People want to get the best out of their money I guess haha. I didn't know Google was started back in 1998!


I didn't know Google went down for 5 minutes in 2013.  I probably blamed my ISP.


haha, it even took 40 percent of web traffic with it!


Yes, Google is huge.  Funny, a single Google search requires more computing power than it took to send Neil Armstrong and 11 other astronauts to the moon!  Amazing nerds with slide-rules!


I hadn't heard about that. Why'd he choose one over the other?


During the pitch Nike used a sideshow and it had Kevin Durant's name on it! TOO funny!


Hah! I would hate to be in their shoes when that came up. Nike's made some missteps, but they are brand loyal. Did you hear about what happened with their Air Jordans?


They were initially banned by the NBA, but Michael Jordan wore them anyway because Nike was willing to pay the fine every game. Those shoes must have been pretty profitable for them to do that!


That's insane! Did you know that "granny style" has been proven by physicists to score more points, but It looks stupid so no NBA player will actually use it.


I guess they follow the Rule of Cool. Wouldn't it be funny to see a game where the underdog team all decides to start shooting that way, then completely beats the favored team?


I wonder how the coach would react to his players losing because they felt like they had to look cool!


I don't know. Do you know when the league was founded?


I am a little bit. I heard something interesting about the NBA the other day. Did you know that one of the 30 teams is in Canada ?


I don't remember exactly when, but I think it was in the 40s.


Really? Which team? I thought all the NBA teams were American.


I don't know. I do know that Maryland guards Kevin Huerter is 6 foot 7 tall.


I wonder how many times he got asked, "Do you play basketball?" when he was in school because of his height!


Every time Stephen Curry makes a 3 pointer he donates Mosquito Nets to protect families in Africa.


That's awesome! I love when celebrities use their fame to support charity. He definitely deserves his MVP status in the NBA.


When did he get his MVP status and what team was he playing for?


I think it was back after the 2014 season. He was playing in the Golden State Warriors then, of course - they're such an amazing team.


Did you know that Nike tried to pitch Curry but he signed Under Armour? I thought that was strange until I heard why.


How's it going, do you follow the NBA? Seems like Lebron doesn't care about winning championships anymore since he signed with the Lakers


lol, well that type of press can't be good for the new Space Jam movie Lebron is suppose to star in


It seems like a long time in between movies to make a sequel to that now.


Yea, I'd wish Lebron would do his own thing instead of trying to be like Jordan


I agree. Also, when he left Cleveland his posters in the city were marked down to $17.41 in reference to the year that the traitor Benedict Arnold was born!


That's pretty funny but I can't blame them after Lebron left the Cavilers for the Heat


Me either. He brought a lot of money to Cleveland who needed it.


It was pretty funny how upset Dan Gilbert got after Lebron left though


It was. Did you know that a coach was fined for saying that the NBA should not be playing on Christmas?


That's crazy. Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


I follow it a little. It seems he will go where the money is to me.


I guess Lebron has given up on chasing Michael Jordan's championships, hopefully it will leave no doubt who was the best


I hope so too. Did you know that he rejected a $10 million dollar offer from Reebok?


Yea back in High School. I guess he knew he could make more when the tickets to his games were selling for $100


Well it worked out for him because he wanted a Nike or Adidas deal and he got a $90 million Nike deal less than a year later.


Yea Lebron is pretty business savy, that's why he's the highest paid celebrity


He is. Did you realize the level of hate that he received for leaving Cleveland?


Yea he got a lot of flak but it did raise 6 million for charity


Well that was nice. An Al-Qaeda member was even upset about it. He told his lawyer that "Lebron James is a very bad man and should apologize to the city of Cleveland"!


You know the title! I'll have to look it up now and watch it! Did you watch the 70's show?


I do know that show. I really liked it. Do you like it?


I loved it. It didn't do so well in Europe though.


Didn't it only have like 10 episodes that aired? Sees like a short hook but they would know better than I.


They probably liked pokemon though. They made 750 episodes! Have you ever seen it?


Oh my lord yes. My boys loved pokemon. I thought that show was never ending. Thats why!


I have a 7 year old and he watches it all the time. I cannot stand it but I have probably seen so many by proxy...


I feel the same. Hated that show! I feel for you! Seems like it has been on for 16 years!


The worst is that there are now spin offs or knock offs so there are so many options for my son to watch. He is starting to move on though, into Disney shows, like Bunk'd...


Thank goodness! Did you know that no woman has ever been nominated for best cinamatography?
