00:00:00 ◼ ► I'll just warn you in advance that if you find yourself talking during the podcast [TS]
00:00:03 ◼ ► and then you realize that I am not here it is probably because I have gone into the next room to throw up. [TS]
00:00:10 ◼ ► It feels like it has been a month since we've done this but I think it is because we have both traveled [TS]
00:00:19 ◼ ► So it somehow feels like it's been a huge amount of time since we last spoke to the feel different [TS]
00:00:24 ◼ ► when you're further away from me. Do you feel like you feel a separation and distance. [TS]
00:00:29 ◼ ► There is a longing in my heart and the further apart we are the stronger it grows. [TS]
00:00:41 ◼ ► It's like our souls are connected with a rubber band and the further apart we are the stronger that feeling grows. [TS]
00:00:50 ◼ ► That's how I feel about you is this how you talk to your wife for this much sincerity. I love me more than life itself. [TS]
00:01:01 ◼ ► My wife and I are very pragmatic about our relationship we don't believe in soulmates [TS]
00:01:05 ◼ ► or any of that kind of stuff so no we don't we don't talk this nonsense they are going to have been talking nonsense to [TS]
00:01:20 ◼ ► Brady I'm all right except I just got an insane amount of money to have my car serviced. [TS]
00:01:27 ◼ ► They called me up and I want to change my front and back brakes and windscreen wipers and everything [TS]
00:01:35 ◼ ► and told me what it cost to take my credit card details and wow it was it was pretty impressive figure. [TS]
00:01:42 ◼ ► Anyway I paid and while the credit card transaction was going through I said Did you wash my car by the way [TS]
00:01:51 ◼ ► and that made me happy I was like oh that's a rider if they hadn't washed I was going to kick up a big stink [TS]
00:01:58 ◼ ► and you know. I believe a chunk of that money I didn't wash my cabbages because he said you know we have a wash. [TS]
00:02:04 ◼ ► It's like that's right that is it is it is it all right in front of all of us in our Art Of course not but [TS]
00:02:13 ◼ ► but it is for some reason I read the first time I ever bought a car and you know buying a car is a big deal [TS]
00:02:23 ◼ ► when I picked it up the cousin said here's a little something extra for you and gave me a wink [TS]
00:02:28 ◼ ► and it was like a buck and a little power washing kit with a sponge and some shampoo and stuff [TS]
00:02:33 ◼ ► and I was so happy about that and we like our service and you know I've just given this company thousands [TS]
00:02:40 ◼ ► and thousands of dollars and they give me like a two dollar car washing kit right. [TS]
00:02:48 ◼ ► and take the edge of the so you feel you feel much better about paying all that money because they wash your car. [TS]
00:03:00 ◼ ► when they said oh no we don't wash that cost like twenty pounds extra I was going to go you know it's outrageous that [TS]
00:03:10 ◼ ► So if I'm ever selling you something very expensive all I need to do to placate you is also give you something that is [TS]
00:03:20 ◼ ► That's exactly how life works but when you go out and buy like an expensive watch or something and they sit you down [TS]
00:03:46 ◼ ► or coffee while you're getting a haircut you know which I find just absolutely bizarre and difficult. [TS]
00:03:52 ◼ ► The logistics of trying to drink a cup of tea anyway while someone is cutting your hair that's no good. [TS]
00:04:00 ◼ ► So you're right it is hard to drink table having a haircut there because where are you going to put it you have to put [TS]
00:04:05 ◼ ► it on that little counter that's one hundred miles away from you so you have to lean so far forward to pick it up [TS]
00:04:14 ◼ ► and you've got that big sheet thing they put someone close to you at the last thing you want to be doing is having a [TS]
00:04:24 ◼ ► While you're like What am I supposed to do with this and I appreciate the gesture I guess [TS]
00:04:28 ◼ ► but I think you're hoping I turn this down just as much as I you know I will turn it down I get I don't know how we got [TS]
00:04:34 ◼ ► off on this but all right yeah if I'm going to tell you something I need to give you something cheap and free. [TS]
00:04:39 ◼ ► Mona you asked how I was and basically I'm a bit grumpy because as being grumpy things going on I've had [TS]
00:04:44 ◼ ► and I've had an accounting tax form filling out God You have my sympathies. Well part of it's because of you anyway. [TS]
00:04:53 ◼ ► Did you get in you get forms for that low internet stuff is that what you were doing. [TS]
00:05:05 ◼ ► and I was going to say to preparing listeners for Grumpy Brady Well I don't know we'll see what happens depends on me. [TS]
00:05:14 ◼ ► Yeah that depends on how much you help me and how much you work with me on my anecdotes and have [TS]
00:05:25 ◼ ► Well here I'm going to give you I mean you view a free flower emoji right now go send your free flower emoji. [TS]
00:05:36 ◼ ► Does that make you happy. Do you like that you know well what that work but it's too. [TS]
00:06:02 ◼ ► Great I knew we were cellmates idea I said we went but we dig down you nobody can I said you [TS]
00:06:15 ◼ ► I don't do this very often so I don't really know where they are but I'm going to choose one. [TS]
00:06:18 ◼ ► OK Oh I know I said you are going to I'm going to send you this one Hang on let me find them every day. [TS]
00:06:34 ◼ ► Yeah I've been kind of looks like them it's a kind of color you know it is all a dream that it look a bit like Foxtrot [TS]
00:06:44 ◼ ► So let's get let's get follow up out the way and then we'll talk about and then we'll talk about our travels [TS]
00:06:49 ◼ ► and whatever else we're going to talk about. Right yeah. We must follow the format of the show. [TS]
00:06:54 ◼ ► We think that we can but we mustn't go off on tangents. Well I think some stupid pointless discussion. [TS]
00:07:03 ◼ ► Yet we have to get warmed up and I had a grumpy with flowers you had yet you make me smile again. [TS]
00:07:14 ◼ ► So you are responsible for most of the fall apart and I think one of them is about a skyscraper. [TS]
00:07:27 ◼ ► and sent me an article about the tallest skyscraper that was planned for Europe in Switzerland I believe. [TS]
00:07:34 ◼ ► Yes and I was disappointed because the article had no photograph and so we basically didn't talk about it all [TS]
00:07:39 ◼ ► and someone sent in an article that did have a photograph for the planned skyscraper and I think it looks amazing. [TS]
00:07:45 ◼ ► This is actually something to talk about are you looking at it right now I have a couple of things to say to time you [TS]
00:07:54 ◼ ► What I'm going to say to you about the tower site one is that says here in the article if three hundred one. [TS]
00:08:05 ◼ ► but I guess for you if that is too are you just going to compare everything down to to the Burj Khalifa by Cameron I am [TS]
00:08:17 ◼ ► Yes OK The other thing I will say before I'm going to take the wind out of your sails before you even talk about this. [TS]
00:08:27 ◼ ► and thought this this does seem like a like a concept it doesn't seem like a real a real thing for those who are [TS]
00:08:35 ◼ ► listening in audio form it is basically a very very narrow almost cylindrical glass tower that is designed to be a [TS]
00:08:44 ◼ ► resort so it looks like there are maybe just two rooms on each floor and it's just very narrow [TS]
00:08:49 ◼ ► and very tall in the middle of this tiny tiny village which is what makes it striking. [TS]
00:08:54 ◼ ► And it's supposed to be some kind of experience inclusive Spa Resort which makes it kind of interesting building. [TS]
00:09:03 ◼ ► and that also looks like an architect's wet dream that they have designed but will probably never come to reality [TS]
00:09:13 ◼ ► and this is something else you wanted to say no no no we wouldn't do it like you do like you very modern sleek glass [TS]
00:09:24 ◼ ► You wouldn't I guess not a lot to like and I'm encouraged Khalifa's very very ultramodern [TS]
00:09:37 ◼ ► But yeah OK what's this next item so the next item on follow up is on our last show you were talking Brady about how [TS]
00:09:47 ◼ ► you have become a kind of a hero a person for young people to look up to for those who don't drink coffee. [TS]
00:09:54 ◼ ► Do you remember this. Yeah with you when you say I like that it makes me sound a little bit. [TS]
00:10:04 ◼ ► and yet you were you were describing how young people the world over could look up to you for not having drank coffee [TS]
00:10:13 ◼ ► I was feeling a little bit facetious but I think I did say that you didn't sound facetious I think [TS]
00:10:19 ◼ ► but I think you were basically folding your arms and waiting for the statue to be erected to you. [TS]
00:10:23 ◼ ► Of Brady hard as nails non coffee drinker dude but that's going to be a statue somewhere. [TS]
00:10:29 ◼ ► Well I mean that's not something I'm lobbying for but if someone does choose to pay with it I'm not going to stop [TS]
00:10:37 ◼ ► and let the listeners decide how very modest of you I'm not saying I'm worthy of a statue that's not that's that would [TS]
00:10:47 ◼ ► be you know but. No statues have been due for less than men. That's all you're saying. [TS]
00:10:58 ◼ ► or something I may I may give them a great way to be in trouble now I think that if a statute allowed Brady Not [TS]
00:11:12 ◼ ► Well sounds like you've got some designs in mind already. Sounds like you've been thinking about it. [TS]
00:11:18 ◼ ► I'm working with an architect right now but I wanted to say that I am going to jump on this euro train as well. [TS]
00:11:34 ◼ ► when we spoke about being recognised as a regular in the situation when you go into Starbucks [TS]
00:11:46 ◼ ► and I talked about how much I did not like it I have to say I received very very many positive pieces of feedback from [TS]
00:11:53 ◼ ► lots of different people saying thank you thank you C G P gray for speaking out on me. [TS]
00:12:02 ◼ ► and so I just I felt I felt like I was a recipient of this is well like I am I'm an introverted spokesman here for [TS]
00:12:09 ◼ ► people who just who just don't want to talk to other people in the shops they just want to complete their commercial [TS]
00:12:21 ◼ ► and to let all of these extroverts who feel like they need to fix us know that we don't need fixing. [TS]
00:12:27 ◼ ► We're not requesting any fixing this is just you know this is just a preference we have that we prefer to avoid. [TS]
00:12:36 ◼ ► and a statue for someone celebrating the introversion. Yeah I'm not quite sure how you how you would do that statue. [TS]
00:12:43 ◼ ► Maybe the statue would actually be it would be a house and you can only see it from the outside [TS]
00:12:49 ◼ ► and the actual statue is on the inside that would be a monument enter version. That's how that would work. [TS]
00:12:55 ◼ ► Yeah I think I think that's that's what you would want so you don't need to fix introverts. [TS]
00:13:03 ◼ ► and that's not wrong we don't want to do something that you want to do your lives exhaust us. [TS]
00:13:08 ◼ ► That conversation did come back to me today actually I was thinking about it at the post office because I was in a long [TS]
00:13:21 ◼ ► and go to the post office sometimes for things that maybe don't even need to go to the post office for because I just [TS]
00:13:27 ◼ ► think they want to have some human interaction and challenge it to the people who work at the post office [TS]
00:13:32 ◼ ► and I was like just waiting forever as old person after person told the Post Office woman what I had for breakfast [TS]
00:13:46 ◼ ► Grazing in front of me at the moment which is to get in and out like a Formula one pit stop but it wasn't today. [TS]
00:13:56 ◼ ► and genuine do you think those interactions were how much do you think the post office people. [TS]
00:14:00 ◼ ► We're enjoying those moments you know what I think it meant a lot to some of the people in the line [TS]
00:14:05 ◼ ► and I stand by what I said last time that people a lot of people long for a sense of community [TS]
00:14:10 ◼ ► and that means something to them and while I think you know I had a say in saying it was a pain for me. [TS]
00:14:16 ◼ ► I'm being entirely selfish and I think it's a really nice thing that those people can go out [TS]
00:14:20 ◼ ► and talk to the person at the post office and I still think you're a little bit in the wrong. [TS]
00:14:25 ◼ ► I'm still asking you though what do you think the post office employees think about that you know what I think they [TS]
00:14:32 ◼ ► would say. Isn't she a sweet old lady. Listen it's not like they're getting paid less. [TS]
00:14:42 ◼ ► and doing the drudgery of transaction after transaction I would welcome the variety of someone telling me something [TS]
00:14:53 ◼ ► and variety comes from people you know going to get variety from just selling stamps and. [TS]
00:15:00 ◼ ► Taking money for people's bills you get variety from someone telling you something interesting or making a joke [TS]
00:15:13 ◼ ► I think you should tweet Brady with your thoughts on regulars who visit your establishments. [TS]
00:15:20 ◼ ► Do you enjoy interacting with the regulars. Do you not enjoy interacting with the regulars. [TS]
00:15:25 ◼ ► Let Brady know tweet at him tell him your interesting thoughts. I'm sure he wants to hear. [TS]
00:15:32 ◼ ► but I you know I think I think human interaction is a is a is a good thing and people [TS]
00:15:43 ◼ ► but I think I'm not arguing against human interaction with this as like you I'm arguing against. [TS]
00:15:49 ◼ ► I'm arguing against this kind of weird one sided human interaction across a commercial exchange. [TS]
00:16:00 ◼ ► Community Center or some place where they can have a more genuine human interaction. [TS]
00:16:04 ◼ ► I'm saying that the post office line is perhaps not the best place for this because yes it's someone who's talking to [TS]
00:16:11 ◼ ► but they're kind of talking to you because they have to it's not a it's not an equal moment here between person on the [TS]
00:16:22 ◼ ► Well how about we try and make and make one moment and just care about each other for a few seconds. [TS]
00:16:27 ◼ ► All problems are best solved by just trying harder. That's that's always what I like. [TS]
00:16:35 ◼ ► I think I've made you grumpy again I'm sorry you got another flower handy to let me select another flower for Brady [TS]
00:16:44 ◼ ► Well I want you to know that you are getting a special thought from me at this very moment right. [TS]
00:16:52 ◼ ► What what should Brady have right now I know what he should have sent him this one comes up only what you get this time [TS]
00:16:59 ◼ ► breaking sunflower Oh there you go how did how does that make you feel it makes me feel it makes me think of the [TS]
00:17:07 ◼ ► Tell us where the flower seeds not you sequence is that it is unfair ours are a little virus the spirals. [TS]
00:17:16 ◼ ► And I hope it's your job to get us on to how many more of us I was going to be required before the end of the show. [TS]
00:17:27 ◼ ► I'm beginning to worry about how many are left actually how many how many different flowers can I possibly use up here. [TS]
00:17:33 ◼ ► Luckily there are a few more in Iowa than you Iowa so yes I have a couple of extra spares selfies autographs what we [TS]
00:17:44 ◼ ► There was a very small point that I just wanted to clarify again talking about the recognition conversation last time [TS]
00:17:51 ◼ ► and at one point we were discussing the awkwardness and the weirdness of selfies and signatures. [TS]
00:18:03 ◼ ► and there was just some feedback in the read it that I wanted to to clarify which is that [TS]
00:18:09 ◼ ► when we did the random acts of intelligent show that is the appropriate moment for selfies and signatures. [TS]
00:18:16 ◼ ► So no nobody should feel like making gray feel really awkward if I'm asking for his picture at a public event he is [TS]
00:18:23 ◼ ► attending on purpose that I just want to be really clear about that that is not a moment when it feels awkward. [TS]
00:18:32 ◼ ► It's like a working event like it's very very different than a situation where I would just be walking down the street [TS]
00:18:39 ◼ ► minding my own business in my hobo clothes you know going to pick up some milk and somebody spots me [TS]
00:18:47 ◼ ► or that this is the line in my mind of like is it is it like I'm on it's a business moment it's like a professional [TS]
00:19:00 ◼ ► So I just wanted to be really clear about that that that's that's the line so if I say oh I don't know maybe I might be [TS]
00:19:12 ◼ ► and signatures are just like that is a OK at that moment. Don't feel weird. That's perfectly fine and You Tube. [TS]
00:19:20 ◼ ► OK so I can take a picture with you then yes you can get a selfie with me at that moment. [TS]
00:19:27 ◼ ► Can I also want to follow up on this because all I have heard from some people about it [TS]
00:19:32 ◼ ► but coincidently I received e-mails within thirty seconds of each other which is very suspicious [TS]
00:19:40 ◼ ► and they both dealt with a similar thing as Mike makes you feel compelled to talk about it [TS]
00:19:45 ◼ ► and that is one of them was from someone who heard me talk about sending me e-mails [TS]
00:19:50 ◼ ► and asking me to suggest things to you and there was some apologetics I said a while back I sent you an e-mail [TS]
00:19:57 ◼ ► and I said nice things about Brady. And I was I said you know can you talk to Graham. [TS]
00:20:03 ◼ ► You should talk to Guy about this isn't the way you wanted things you wanted to be fluff but at first [TS]
00:20:13 ◼ ► when we will I don't know if you feel this way but I suspect you do and I certainly don't [TS]
00:20:18 ◼ ► when we talk about this stuff it's really just so we've got something to talk about and things we have in common [TS]
00:20:23 ◼ ► and it's a bit of a laugh and and and like you shouldn't feel bad if you have sent us an e-mail [TS]
00:20:29 ◼ ► or you have done something and feel like like we're talking about you specifically and we know who you are [TS]
00:20:35 ◼ ► and we think less of you like that could not be further from the truth and I'm never thinking of anyone specific [TS]
00:20:42 ◼ ► when we talk about this and most of the time it's just for fun anyway and if you all say I'm exactly the same. [TS]
00:20:49 ◼ ► I have sent a mouse to people and they probably have you know it's not been a mouth I've responded to or wanted [TS]
00:21:02 ◼ ► or thinking ill of people so I don't feel like you know I have to write to us like it's not like I've got some list of [TS]
00:21:10 ◼ ► people who have emailed who I think a silly billies you know I've I do more stupid things than anyone on earth [TS]
00:21:17 ◼ ► and I'm not judging anyone. We're not talking about anyone specific. We're just talking because we are. [TS]
00:21:30 ◼ ► and I should be clear to any listeners who have followed us from the start we've obviously run out of specific topics [TS]
00:21:37 ◼ ► and so at this point we're just kind of talking about whatever we're talking about basically we've run out of like [TS]
00:21:44 ◼ ► historic things to talk about so now we're just telling anecdotes in real time right through that's exactly that that's [TS]
00:21:49 ◼ ► what this is because it and and also I think it's it's I listen to a lot of podcasts [TS]
00:22:00 ◼ ► He interesting is just kind of getting a glimpse into somebody else's life who I don't know [TS]
00:22:09 ◼ ► and I think we were talking about a lot of this stuff because it is just a weird experience to to have like a bunch of [TS]
00:22:23 ◼ ► and there are just there are just weird and interesting situations that come out of that [TS]
00:22:26 ◼ ► and so that's what we have been talking about with it's likely that we will talk about it again in the future. [TS]
00:22:32 ◼ ► But yes it is it is important to keep in mind that we're not talking about anyone in particular except for Tim sorry [TS]
00:22:38 ◼ ► Tim but I have had that same experience where you're listening to someone you don't know say something [TS]
00:22:44 ◼ ► and you feel like Oh God they're talking about me in particular but it's never about you in particular. [TS]
00:22:49 ◼ ► And and I have to say I would much rather someone came up and said something awkward [TS]
00:22:54 ◼ ► or the wrong thing than didn't come up at all. I would much rather they don't come up at all. [TS]
00:23:05 ◼ ► and I've spent way too long basically just saying don't worry about things you know if we make jokes about things you [TS]
00:23:16 ◼ ► Yeah yeah I can definitely that Brady does do a lot of stupid things like ask people who are not on the plane to tweet [TS]
00:23:21 ◼ ► you especially me I'm very dumb. But seriously if you're not on a plane. Stop tweeting us. [TS]
00:23:36 ◼ ► Yeah to some extent and Motorhead there was not a real throat clearing that was up and that was a joke [TS]
00:23:43 ◼ ► and I didn't want to do a big yucky Flemmi one because that's just not classy and I'm a classy guy [TS]
00:23:52 ◼ ► OK I've been a bit banged up till I send nasal you sent you sound hired you don't sound nice [TS]
00:24:07 ◼ ► You're probably special encourage me and say nice and good you doing a really good job. Now you sound grumpy and tired. [TS]
00:24:15 ◼ ► This is not the start of a new series called Cricket corner as some people have requested and I would love to do it [TS]
00:24:22 ◼ ► but I can assure you Craig would veto a cricket thing cricket thing the sport by the way not the creature right. [TS]
00:24:29 ◼ ► I have to bring up cricket because since we last spoke a stray India won the cricket world cup. [TS]
00:24:42 ◼ ► Congratulations made me very very happy and I didn't talk the Cricket World Cup I have been going for a month [TS]
00:24:51 ◼ ► but I hadn't spoken about it or done any trash talk or anything because I'm so nervous [TS]
00:24:55 ◼ ► and pessimistic about cricket I didn't want to say anything on the record that could be used against me. [TS]
00:25:01 ◼ ► But now that it's all over and Australia have won I just want to gloat a bit and say hello. [TS]
00:25:06 ◼ ► Fantastic cricket how fantastic Are the world champions for the fifth time five World Cups in a row. [TS]
00:25:15 ◼ ► Not in a row but close to it and no other country has won more than two so that's good we're going to be the next best. [TS]
00:25:27 ◼ ► I would say the runners up I have to say the runners up in the tournament where New Zealand [TS]
00:25:38 ◼ ► Probably the next best but throughout what I want what I want is is that the ratio of wins per population. [TS]
00:25:53 ◼ ► but you should expect that a country like India or China or the United States would win way more. [TS]
00:26:00 ◼ ► Sporting events simply because they have way more people to draw from so you can find the unusually talented people in [TS]
00:26:07 ◼ ► that group that does oversimplify things somewhat. But it doesn't take things into account cultural considerations. [TS]
00:26:17 ◼ ► Yeah I understand like in America I think interest in cricket is probably much smaller than it is in the U.K. [TS]
00:26:32 ◼ ► but I really just wanna know how many gold medals divided by how many people live there. [TS]
00:26:36 ◼ ► Like New Zealand winning a couple of gold medals is probably way more impressive than America winning ten gold medals [TS]
00:26:45 ◼ ► But then that does lead to the sort of statistical aberration where one freak person wins three gold medals from some [TS]
00:26:52 ◼ ► country and you know I mean if you do that yeah I still think it's a better metric to just try to compare countries. [TS]
00:27:07 ◼ ► How many people are in Australia I was forgot I don't know any more either in the mid twenty's [TS]
00:27:11 ◼ ► and I was going I was going to guess around thirty now I have to look it up it was like [TS]
00:27:15 ◼ ► when I was growing up it was always eighty million but it's it's gone way up since then. [TS]
00:27:27 ◼ ► I was only it's twenty three point thirteen million cannot just say you know if you've let me down to be on the cricket [TS]
00:27:36 ◼ ► but the first thing I said like I want to stress he won the cricket World Cup I was hoping you would ask me questions [TS]
00:27:41 ◼ ► but I wasn't hoping it would be trying to kind of you know I would be about populations to figure out what hang on how [TS]

00:29:07 ◼ ► you know I'm talking about a shuttlecock shuttlecock Yes the socket right maybe they're throwing something like a [TS]

00:29:31 ◼ ► but they throw it greatly for Powell that throws the ball at the batsman he is disqualified from playing the game. [TS]
00:29:39 ◼ ► but this is going to be this is going to be some nonsense technicality that oh if you do it over hand we call it [TS]
00:29:44 ◼ ► throwing and if we do with underhand you call a bowling or something but you're throwing it. [TS]
00:29:49 ◼ ► Here's OK OK here's my here's my question for you. Does the ball it was first what can we confirm at the ball right. [TS]
00:30:00 ◼ ► OK so it's like a baseball to do that do they roll the baseball the entire length of the way to the guy with the bat. [TS]
00:30:07 ◼ ► OK then they're not pulling it it's not like bowling the same bowling ball you're thinking of ten pin bowling in the [TS]
00:30:30 ◼ ► but it's in the air most of the time right now as once it passes once on the way down. [TS]
00:30:35 ◼ ► OK they're throwing it maybe we can call this he bounces it towards the guy is not polling I'm sorry I'm sorry cricket [TS]
00:30:47 ◼ ► Well I have to say we're not going to end with is telling your best rat is trials in the cricket world [TS]

00:31:41 ◼ ► You say this is now my friend but that you have to but you have to be more malleable [TS]
00:31:47 ◼ ► and let me explain to me that there is a difference between like throwing and bowling [TS]
00:31:51 ◼ ► and things like that you can't it's not your job when I teach you about cricket to prove me wrong. [TS]
00:31:56 ◼ ► It's your job to learn to stand. I will grant you that there is a difference between throwing and bouncing. [TS]
00:32:10 ◼ ► There are different if it's like it's like you don't say that the picture is throwing the ball at the batter in [TS]
00:32:20 ◼ ► You have it you have a you have a name for it so you can differentiate between different types of moving the ball from [TS]
00:32:34 ◼ ► So we say OK well let's call that pitching right and that's called throwing what the field is doing [TS]
00:32:54 ◼ ► Yeah but not when you use a word that has a totally pre-existing meaning to mean something. [TS]
00:32:59 ◼ ► Man I cannot tell you how much you are going to hate learning about cricket because [TS]
00:33:08 ◼ ► Yeah yeah because in cricket the word wicket has so many meanings that is truly astonishing how many different things [TS]
00:33:24 ◼ ► and like talking to someone who understands cricket they know immediately what you mane. But if you don't. [TS]
00:33:32 ◼ ► and it was the word wicket that has stopped me going ahead with it because it can mean so many things. [TS]

00:37:10 ◼ ► I was flying to buy on a Qantas plane and I arrived at the airport to be told the plane had broken [TS]
00:37:22 ◼ ► Is this in London or is this empty boxes in London. I haven't even gone anywhere yet. OK. [TS]
00:37:27 ◼ ► But I'm always ultra cautious about my connections because I'm a bit paranoid and stuff like this happen. [TS]
00:37:33 ◼ ► and I was also you know I didn't want to miss the party so I think I'd built in a buffer of you know good for maybe [TS]
00:37:40 ◼ ► Connection you know I mean that's the thing that sense of oh well it's been how long the flight is well this is true. [TS]
00:37:53 ◼ ► Two I was like we pulled back from the gate and the plane stopped for fifteen twenty minutes. [TS]
00:38:00 ◼ ► Still on the tarmac you know the latest from the gate that there were men in the captain comes on [TS]
00:38:08 ◼ ► Navigation System or something which is going to go back to the gate and get an engineer on board to fix it. [TS]
00:38:16 ◼ ► So we go back to the guy that's going to keep you on the plane because it would take more time to get you all of the [TS]
00:38:21 ◼ ► Planning on the plane and then you know it was an A three eighty so you know a million people on board. [TS]
00:38:28 ◼ ► So I sitting on the plane I put on the Godfather part because I just might go to a film on planes [TS]
00:38:50 ◼ ► First thing that occurs here is we're going to actually fixing parts of the plane. [TS]
00:38:55 ◼ ► This is more wiring but putting that to one side because I don't worry about that kind of thing. [TS]
00:39:01 ◼ ► I now realise I'm going to miss my connection. Turns out we were at that gate for I reckon a good three hours. [TS]
00:39:07 ◼ ► Well after the Godfather two had finished I watched the whole of The Godfather part just sitting at the stand on the [TS]
00:39:12 ◼ ► plane. We ended up leaving three or four hours late I missed my connection missed the party. Boo hoo. [TS]
00:39:24 ◼ ► I also also coming back my plane got delayed and I had but I didn't have as much buffer this time [TS]
00:39:34 ◼ ► and I got on the plane puffing it was like the song was saying you know just closed you know final call and Iran [TS]
00:39:40 ◼ ► and Iran and I got there and I was like no one was at the gate except the stuff and they let me on [TS]
00:39:50 ◼ ► and says a whole bunch of planes have been late today so we're just going to sit here for another arrow so microbiota [TS]
00:40:10 ◼ ► So I was feeling a bit negative about planes this week but I had a really good time in Australia. [TS]
00:40:19 ◼ ► I have the exact same experience with flying because on our way out my wife and I were going to Las Vegas [TS]
00:40:28 ◼ ► Basically I know that you know you're saying how the pilot tells you oh they're trying to fix a sensor or something. [TS]
00:40:34 ◼ ► I always feel like I was saying to my wife on the plane why on earth is the pilot telling me all this stuff. [TS]
00:40:42 ◼ ► and he kept telling me all these things that I just felt like please don't tell me this. [TS]
00:40:45 ◼ ► I'm just you know we're like OK the plane needs something fixed fine that's all I need to know [TS]
00:40:50 ◼ ► but he started coming on he goes oh yeah we had there's a minor problem we brought in some engineers and looking at it. [TS]
00:40:57 ◼ ► and he's like oh we got a big problem here our hydraulic system is leaking all over the place like the landing [TS]
00:41:03 ◼ ► component of the plane is a big deal we got a we're going to be here for a while and the engineers need to come back [TS]
00:41:12 ◼ ► I'm like why are you telling me this I don't need to know that I don't need to hear this this is not information that [TS]
00:41:19 ◼ ► I don't I don't want to hear about all the various components of the plane that are falling apart around me. [TS]
00:41:24 ◼ ► Right just like has it passed the safety inspection to fly or not that's all I need to know [TS]
00:41:33 ◼ ► and we're working to fix it sorry for the delay I don't who wants to hear all these details I mean do you want to hear [TS]
00:41:51 ◼ ► and I mean this there's nothing they can say that would make you demand to be let off. [TS]
00:42:00 ◼ ► I have I guess I kind of came on and said we had a bit of a problem with the hydraulics but [TS]
00:42:11 ◼ ► I think I might not be the only person requesting to leave under under the law I can't imagine ever to stay silent in [TS]
00:42:18 ◼ ► England at least it would just be like oh yeah yeah yeah a lot of lemmings would just say Oh well I am sure I don't [TS]
00:42:27 ◼ ► Gray would get up and demand to be let off with a you'd be you'd be the You'd be the saber rattling. [TS]
00:42:33 ◼ ► I think if I think of the past it was like I'm not one hundred percent sure about this duct tape job they've done [TS]
00:42:38 ◼ ► but let's give it a go Shelley. I think I would I would really try to get off that plane. [TS]
00:42:49 ◼ ► when you're flying over the endless deadly Atlantic Ocean your mind just just but I just [TS]
00:42:58 ◼ ► and just suddenly think about thousands of feet below you was an endless black abyss of nothingness and you [TS]
00:43:08 ◼ ► Things that can eat you right and cold death by exposure you know and you know but I think that unflat anyway [TS]
00:43:21 ◼ ► but this is not it this is not something that I really I really want to know about so I'm always I'm always baffled [TS]
00:43:26 ◼ ► when the pilots want to tell you about stuff thirty thousand fake the plane files the endless deadly Atlantic Ocean [TS]
00:43:34 ◼ ► and its body nibbling fish are the least of your worries. I hope I manage I really honest to God I hope you know. [TS]
00:43:41 ◼ ► But what happened then so how does it get resolved. Obviously the plane took off eventually. [TS]
00:43:47 ◼ ► Eventually they took off but we were we were on the ground for an hour and a half or so. Nothing nothing. [TS]
00:43:54 ◼ ► It would be nothing if that my favorite part of this was the air conditioning wasn't working. [TS]
00:43:58 ◼ ► Leo they go we have to shut. Now on the air conditioning while they're fixing the hydraulics. [TS]
00:44:03 ◼ ► It's terribly terribly uncomfortable being in a metal cylinder with a couple hundred other sweaty monkeys all [TS]
00:44:11 ◼ ► generating monkey body heat and I was just trying not to pay attention to any of it. [TS]
00:44:18 ◼ ► but I'm always baffled by the pilot announcements even to even just the normal ones like when that [TS]
00:44:22 ◼ ► when the pilot comes on he's like hey let me tell you what the weather is in the city. [TS]
00:44:26 ◼ ► I never I never feel a need for any of this stuff I feel like they should have the little pilot channel for the people [TS]
00:44:31 ◼ ► who want to hear this they can tune into that and it leave everybody else alone nobody ever need this information. [TS]
00:44:38 ◼ ► I don't get what I'm most surprised they tell you the heights they're going to fly at that does same especially that [TS]
00:44:47 ◼ ► but does serve the possible purpose of scaring you know the higher plane flies because it's like well we're going to go [TS]
00:44:55 ◼ ► and then we're probably going to then move up to thirty thousand feet later on to fly well. [TS]
00:45:03 ◼ ► I just I don't get any of this I don't know I don't know why the pilots talk so much. [TS]
00:45:10 ◼ ► and I also know that you can listen to the entertainment system in movies like on demand so you can stop them before [TS]
00:45:16 ◼ ► the flight. It's always really annoying like it's always like shut up I don't care that you're about to close the G.D. [TS]
00:45:22 ◼ ► Fray I just want to watch my movie but just does everything have to interrupt the movie. [TS]
00:45:28 ◼ ► I understand maybe if they say sorry to interrupt the movie if you're about to crash. Please get in the brace position. [TS]
00:45:34 ◼ ► Fair enough. Interrupt me then but don't interrupt my movie for all these inane announcements. [TS]
00:45:43 ◼ ► I completely agree and this is why I don't use the in-flight entertainment system if I can possibly avoid it. [TS]
00:45:48 ◼ ► I load up my i Pad with everything I could possibly want to watch because in addition to just irritatingly stopping [TS]
00:46:00 ◼ ► Oh I'm sorry I have to say I value my ear drums I can't be exposed to random loud sounds that include your voice. [TS]
00:46:06 ◼ ► Pilot due to telling me about what the weather is eight hours from now in Las Vegas [TS]
00:46:11 ◼ ► and I think dangerously layout I agree with I think the top hand out there is dangerous to pilots. [TS]
00:46:18 ◼ ► Maybe not so much talking we are such a grumpy old man. So you're on your way on we gotta love Vegas just fine. [TS]
00:46:24 ◼ ► We didn't die because the hydraulic system the plane didn't skid to a crash landing in Vegas right then we landed just [TS]
00:46:30 ◼ ► fine but I have additional anxiety for no reason at all because the pilot was just too chatty That was my flight. [TS]
00:46:37 ◼ ► So anyway that was basically you just don't you just don't like humans. Basically you don't want to hear from them. [TS]
00:46:43 ◼ ► You don't want to talk to them. Under most circumstances yes that that's entirely true. [TS]
00:46:48 ◼ ► Do you want to also know why it's because humans cause most of the problems where you watch that air crash investigator [TS]
00:47:00 ◼ ► and the mechanical things are made by humans so everything comes back to humans design. [TS]
00:47:04 ◼ ► Personally I blame the Wright brothers for everything. Yeah that's that what you do. [TS]
00:47:09 ◼ ► It can all be tracked back to them. I'm not sure really works like that. I matter that's that's really the case. [TS]
00:47:18 ◼ ► I'll be very happy when the planes are just totally automated when everything about them is totally automated. [TS]
00:47:22 ◼ ► Yeah that would be great. You said you said something about security lines you talk about that. [TS]
00:47:27 ◼ ► Yes actually that I could I don't really have very much interesting to say about my vacation. [TS]
00:47:33 ◼ ► but how do you do you secure your lives if you have something else to complain about I hope people don't mind. [TS]
00:47:39 ◼ ► So several podcasts ago we talked about how the security lines at airports they really need big signs big pictographs [TS]
00:47:50 ◼ ► I flew out of Heathrow and getting through the security but the sign says Take out your laptops. [TS]
00:48:00 ◼ ► The thing that irritates me most is how this comes to i Pads and the most frustrating i Pad experience. OK laptops out. [TS]
00:48:07 ◼ ► We get to the front the line and the lady then tells us oh you need to take out your i Pads. [TS]
00:48:12 ◼ ► OK great so now my wife and I are digging through a bag for i Pads we take the i Pads out and then she looks at us [TS]
00:48:18 ◼ ► and says but not i Pad Minis. After we had taken them out and so she goes those have to go back in your bag. [TS]
00:48:27 ◼ ► and this is this is the kind of thing that I just like I don't even think that was a real rule I think this is just [TS]
00:48:32 ◼ ► something that she was thinking because I swear every time I go through Heathrow it's different about the five hundred [TS]
00:48:50 ◼ ► but show me somewhere at Heathrow where someone said oh you know we should do. I Pads out but not i Pad Minis. [TS]
00:48:57 ◼ ► I refused to believe that that is true of us just probably just an inch size in inches where there's a threshold [TS]
00:49:07 ◼ ► I would believe that if I say if it wasn't different every single time I go through Heathrow I think it's just whatever [TS]
00:49:28 ◼ ► and we're coming back it's the exact reverse the Las Vegas airport was the worst but we're flying out [TS]
00:49:36 ◼ ► and at Las Vegas they go put those back in your bag don't take i Pads out just laptops is like Goddammit like you know [TS]
00:49:42 ◼ ► you can fix this you can fix it with the sign right there. Let's show you a picture of what comes out of the bag. [TS]
00:49:50 ◼ ► But no airport does this you know are you and it would help but as I have said before people in airports. [TS]
00:50:00 ◼ ► More on this and you could punch them in the face and tell them that they have to get their laptop out OK [TS]
00:50:06 ◼ ► and I would still get to the front of the line and go I didn't know about the laptops. [TS]
00:50:13 ◼ ► Agents the security agents want the big signs there because I'm so aware of how on the line the agents still have to [TS]
00:50:24 ◼ ► and they can't possibly know because there's no indication anywhere of of what it supposed to be. [TS]
00:50:29 ◼ ► And OK So flying out flying out of Las Vegas was like an amazing experience with this curious I can't believe how [TS]
00:50:44 ◼ ► and because I'm already now riled up from our flight out of Heathrow like our security lines are terrible so now I'm [TS]
00:50:50 ◼ ► looking around to paying attention to how this is going to work a Las Vegas not a one sign anywhere no signs no [TS]
00:50:57 ◼ ► indication of shoes belts laptops anything all they have is a video playing above the place where you're supposed to [TS]
00:51:05 ◼ ► Now let me tell you how much I hate these videos at airports because there's so little information that needs to be [TS]
00:51:12 ◼ ► conveyed. Right. Shoes belts i Pads laptops jackets and the like five pieces of information. [TS]
00:51:24 ◼ ► and is trying to be funny you know showing funny situations of people I go look at this if you're doing it wrong to do [TS]
00:51:33 ◼ ► But Vegas the thing that I thought was great was we arrive there and we happen to arrive at a time [TS]
00:51:39 ◼ ► when there was basically no security line so we could get right to the front of we get right to where we're supposed to [TS]
00:51:46 ◼ ► but we went we went so quickly I couldn't even have watched the video if I wanted to so I thought this is like an [TS]
00:51:54 ◼ ► If there's no line here because people get to the front they can't have possibly watch a video they were supposed to [TS]
00:52:01 ◼ ► and suddenly it takes longer it's like the system is designed to make sure there will always be a line because if it [TS]
00:52:12 ◼ ► and then have time to watch the video like it's guaranteed to make sure there's always going to be a line is just [TS]
00:52:20 ◼ ► Just assign the term two things to the last one a week or so that I've spent time with. [TS]
00:52:27 ◼ ► Is airports and and also I spent a lot of time more than I usually do around some young children [TS]
00:52:36 ◼ ► and I've noticed something because to me it's something I've realized that childhood is basically is just like children [TS]
00:52:48 ◼ ► A gradual process of becoming less selfish with a few little with a few little ups and downs along the way. [TS]
00:52:56 ◼ ► Then you think about it for example there's nothing more selfish in that baby is there you know a baby if it was a mild [TS]
00:53:01 ◼ ► inconvenience mild pang of hunger and just start screaming and screaming until it gets fed right [TS]
00:53:07 ◼ ► and then a young younger kids you know did little little kids a quest selfish and then and then you get older [TS]
00:53:22 ◼ ► and you learn you know how other people have to have a tear and then you become a grown up [TS]
00:53:32 ◼ ► and the process of growing up is the process of building layers of self control on top of what is basically your monkey [TS]
00:53:42 ◼ ► And your mom and your monkey brain is always screaming about whatever the hell it wants at the top of its lungs. [TS]
00:53:48 ◼ ► But if you're if you're grown up you you have many many layers to try to keep this under control. [TS]
00:53:53 ◼ ► OK but like that's that's everybody still has that like at the absolute core what I think happens is. [TS]
00:54:08 ◼ ► and like everything everything is about getting on the plane first for example which is completely pointless because [TS]
00:54:16 ◼ ► you're all going to arrive at the other end and get off in the order you have to get off [TS]
00:54:19 ◼ ► and the other in any way that people become just ruthless about getting on the plane first or getting this [TS]
00:54:25 ◼ ► and getting that they become very I'm going to disagree with you about getting on the plane simply because there is [TS]
00:54:31 ◼ ► very often not enough space for the banks but it doesn't matter about getting a house arrest. [TS]
00:54:37 ◼ ► OK but the still being so selfish because they become ruthless about it they become ruthless like you wouldn't. [TS]
00:54:44 ◼ ► Yeah OK OK I agree with you but they are caught in a situation that that anyone would do this right. Fair enough. [TS]
00:54:53 ◼ ► but I accept that the better the baggage coming off the plane a granite carousel I mean [TS]
00:54:59 ◼ ► and I I know you know I directed a video about that too with the selfishness of people in that [TS]
00:55:04 ◼ ► but that that is ridiculous how selfish people are about their positioning to get bags of carousels like everyone is [TS]

01:25:55 ◼ ► it's so far around that it doesn't count anymore that doesn't make any difference and. [TS]
01:26:00 ◼ ► Because when you talk about I'm going to go to a friend's birthday party in Australia. [TS]

01:28:02 ◼ ► OK Well it is and that is the Apple Watch. I feel that we have to talk about the Apple Watch them. [TS]
01:28:18 ◼ ► What's on your mind about the Apple Watch. Well I don't I don't market very quickly for the record. [TS]
01:28:25 ◼ ► Today is April tenth which is the first day people have been able to see and or pre-order the watch [TS]
01:28:35 ◼ ► and the few reviews of come out in the last couple of days so if we're getting the first idea of what people think of [TS]
01:28:40 ◼ ► it now I'm going to have an I don't know what your position is yet I don't know if you're pro [TS]
01:28:49 ◼ ► That's just that's just that's just the feeling I'm I've got from nothing but I'm anti [TS]
01:28:56 ◼ ► but I want to stay I want to start off with a few little cabinets and explanations. [TS]
01:29:00 ◼ ► OK context the first one is I'm not anti gadget watches I grew up obsessed with the idea of gadget watches you know [TS]
01:29:13 ◼ ► Yeah and actually I have one now that I six months ago I wore for a few weeks just for the fun of it [TS]
01:29:18 ◼ ► and I quite like it and also I used to have a what's called a citizen windsurf which was quite gadgety [TS]
01:29:22 ◼ ► and had unnecessary displays on it but I thought it was really cool so I grew up obsessed with gadget watches. [TS]
01:29:47 ◼ ► There's something else I want to say but I forgot what it is but the most important thing [TS]
01:29:52 ◼ ► and I haven't I haven't told you I haven't told the list but it's time to tell them [TS]
01:29:57 ◼ ► and that is I have acquired my dream. Much as I do now have and I have had for a few months. My amigo Speedmaster. [TS]
01:30:08 ◼ ► So this is now a permanent resident on my wrist. Some of the listeners have figured this out. [TS]
01:30:25 ◼ ► Yeah and some people put two and two together and realized that was Brady's Amigas be Pastor. [TS]
01:30:30 ◼ ► Yes so I have I have got that watch and obviously that makes the real estate of my wrist. [TS]
01:30:49 ◼ ► when you did was precisely because the Apple Watch was coming out you know this I was dead. [TS]
01:30:54 ◼ ► If you were ever going to do it this was the time to make a statement about watches it is kind of the year of the [TS]
01:31:06 ◼ ► and I'm I have a couple of pics of the other thing I want to say is I am aware of the reviews of obviously and [TS]
01:31:17 ◼ ► or even from a distance I have not been near one other than obviously all the promotional pictures so there's many [TS]
01:31:30 ◼ ► And I do realize in a few weeks this may change and in six months I may be wearing one every time [TS]
01:31:37 ◼ ► Would you wear it on your other wrist so that you have the Amiga Speedmaster and one wrist [TS]
01:31:40 ◼ ► and the Apple Watch On the other I would not do that. Now that would be stupid. Put it of course it was. [TS]
01:31:50 ◼ ► And you could pull it off Brady now you are a watch where you have a very lovely watch old fashioned watch. [TS]
01:32:00 ◼ ► Where we're you standing at the moment on porches you are right I have changed my position on the watch for a couple of [TS]
01:32:15 ◼ ► and two was that I booked an appointment at The Regent Street Apple store to go in [TS]
01:32:22 ◼ ► Now unfortunately as I mentioned because of my horrible jet lag this morning at eight AM London time was the time to [TS]
01:32:30 ◼ ► pre-order and I went to bed last night and I set an alarm for seven thirty so I could get up in time [TS]
01:32:36 ◼ ► and luckily I woke up at two in the morning and then I was awake from two in the morning until some unknown time [TS]
01:32:43 ◼ ► when I fell asleep in a different room separated from my alarm and woke up at about eight forty A.M. [TS]
01:32:50 ◼ ► To do the pre-order which was about a million years too late because everybody in the world was staying up to pre-order [TS]
01:32:58 ◼ ► and so by the time I got to by the time I got there they were already back ordered until June which made me very sad. [TS]
01:33:07 ◼ ► I hate you for the way you make me feel I hate the way you just cost me several months of Apple Watch time possibly [TS]
01:33:14 ◼ ► because after I ordered the watch I mean you just fell asleep again and then I woke up [TS]
01:33:21 ◼ ► and I was able to book an appointment Amazingly I couldn't believe they had anything available. [TS]
01:33:25 ◼ ► And yes I went out to see them in person so I am more pro Apple Watch now than I was before. Why why. [TS]
01:33:38 ◼ ► One of which was my big complaint last time was I have way too many things to charge [TS]
01:33:46 ◼ ► But since we spoke at that time Apple has actually killed off for me two devices that I normally babysit. [TS]
01:33:52 ◼ ► Number one is my Fitbit because now my phone takes over for keeping track of walking so I've totally dissed my Fitbit [TS]
01:34:01 ◼ ► I have also given up on my Kindle so I don't have the Kindle anymore I'm using my i Pad and my iphone to read instead. [TS]
01:34:11 ◼ ► I went down two and then up one now for the Apple Watch so I'm feeling like I came out ahead on this. [TS]
01:34:19 ◼ ► But I'm still like I'm at a net win for a case it's not like oh I have one additional thing. [TS]
01:34:25 ◼ ► OK And the second thing is seeing what Apple has done with notifications in the way they're trying to make it work. [TS]
01:34:39 ◼ ► but I do like the idea of being able to select a very few that I can just see what they are quite quickly on my wrist [TS]
01:34:53 ◼ ► when she instant messages me I can just see that immediately on the rest I don't have to take the phone out of my [TS]
01:35:05 ◼ ► I feel like these two devices were kind of made for each other that the i Phone six plus is something that you don't [TS]
01:35:15 ◼ ► And like the Apple Watch is a nice companion device for that so you have like your big phone in your pocket [TS]
01:35:23 ◼ ► and the watch is doing like a notification tree asure that there's a there's an additional level of filter here that [TS]
01:35:30 ◼ ► Over time I've just become much more interested in what it can do as Apple has talked more about the specifics [TS]
01:35:36 ◼ ► and I'm just curious to see how it how it works and like it's an interesting it's an interesting product [TS]
01:35:42 ◼ ► and I'm like I'm excited enough about it now that I think you know what I'd like to give this a try. [TS]
01:35:50 ◼ ► but I've crossed a little tipping points into deciding Yeah I'm going to pre-order it [TS]
01:36:00 ◼ ► That's I'm I think I think buying something I'm making up out of your life just because you're curious. [TS]
01:36:11 ◼ ► when I've got my very first i Phone I had a dim notion of oh situations where I might use it [TS]
01:36:16 ◼ ► and of course I just had no notion of how how life changing that device was going to be. [TS]
01:36:23 ◼ ► I don't expect that the Apple Watch is going to be the same level because going from not having the internet at all to [TS]
01:36:29 ◼ ► having the Internet everywhere you go was amazing it was just such a huge difference. [TS]
01:36:34 ◼ ► Yeah but I can see the watch being maybe you know an order of magnitude less life changing [TS]
01:36:45 ◼ ► and also ways that I think you just can't know unless you actually try it out before I I got the i Phone four S. [TS]
01:36:57 ◼ ► and I had been hearing people talk about how different their lives were once they got those phones. [TS]
01:37:02 ◼ ► But here it like that didn't make any difference to me and it didn't seem real until I actually got one [TS]
01:37:11 ◼ ► So that's kind of how I think about it that's kind of how I think about the watch is I'm interested enough to purchase [TS]
01:37:28 ◼ ► and obviously I have now become an extreme edge case because I now want to watch that is like quite nice [TS]
01:37:43 ◼ ► but it's like like my watch is worth more than an apple watch for stuff and it's like it's like a luxurious thing [TS]
01:37:50 ◼ ► but so so that would be you know that would make demoting something that's quite precious to me has become quickly [TS]
01:37:55 ◼ ► become quite precious to me. So so obviously that's this there's a resistance there. [TS]
01:38:00 ◼ ► Yes But also if I understand the airport is a lot nicer looking then than than it appears in pictures. [TS]
01:38:09 ◼ ► I accept that will be the case I don't know but I don't particularly like the look of the thing [TS]
01:38:13 ◼ ► but I'll take people's word for it that it actually looks really nice in real life but I don't really like her looks. [TS]
01:38:19 ◼ ► The thing is at the moment like my watch is is purely a device that brings me happiness and pleasure and nothing else. [TS]
01:38:42 ◼ ► but I look at it it makes me happy because I think about you know is this a polar bear in what So I think about the [TS]
01:38:55 ◼ ► and I feel it clicking in every morning and it at the moment is it is purely It's purely decorative. [TS]
01:39:06 ◼ ► It's just it's just a it's just a thing of beauty and happiness right. And that's all it is. [TS]
01:39:13 ◼ ► I think you'd like your Amiga Speedmaster a lot less if it also beeped every time you got an e-mail. [TS]
01:39:17 ◼ ► Yeah it's just it's just it's just a nice thing in my life. Now I see the Apple Watch will have a usefulness. [TS]
01:39:28 ◼ ► Pretty smart people making applications for it so I imagine it'll become useful pretty quickly. [TS]
01:39:43 ◼ ► Another thing that I worry about how much charge is left on another it's just another it's nothing [TS]
01:39:50 ◼ ► and my phone is already this incredibly dominant feature of my of my life that has become this you know. [TS]
01:40:00 ◼ ► Very useful and I couldn't live without it but has also become this anchor and I don't know another thing [TS]
01:40:05 ◼ ► and I know this sounds really old fashioned as well but where is this going to stop work. [TS]
01:40:09 ◼ ► Where is where is the slow creep of useful useful things that have to be go from being beautiful to being functional [TS]
01:40:19 ◼ ► going to stop like at what point are we going to say well how stupid is it to wear earrings just for ornamental sake [TS]
01:40:28 ◼ ► or you know why wear a wedding ring was your ring not a smart ring that stupid like but where's the line here. [TS]
01:40:35 ◼ ► Look at what point at what point are we going to just say OK there's this useful work things [TS]
01:40:42 ◼ ► and there's you know there's functional things and here are things that are just like nice and pretty [TS]
01:40:48 ◼ ► and another technology can be nice and pretty but I just feel like it this this technology is like this virus [TS]
01:40:58 ◼ ► or this thing that's just spreading into everything else and now it's going to spread out into watches as well [TS]
01:41:15 ◼ ► So it it makes sense to put tiny computers in all kinds of things that it wouldn't have made sense to put tiny [TS]
01:41:23 ◼ ► computers in five years ago and five years from now many more things will have tiny computers inside of them. [TS]
01:41:37 ◼ ► Like when we moved in here I replaced all the light bulbs with a hue to fill a few light bulbs. [TS]
01:41:46 ◼ ► I thought oh this is let me just try this out this will this will just be like a fun thing [TS]
01:41:55 ◼ ► and I love the fact that we can just control centre really quickly turn on or off the light. [TS]
01:42:04 ◼ ► but that's not the case of we're putting a tiny computer in a in a lightbulb might sound stupid [TS]
01:42:16 ◼ ► And while Brady I might very strongly recommend that you say try the six plus next time around when you get a phone. [TS]
01:42:30 ◼ ► And the reason is because everything I know about you suggests to me the Apple Watch might be terrible for you because [TS]
01:42:40 ◼ ► you seem to live a life that is constantly bouncing between things you bounce between e-mail you bounce between Twitter [TS]
01:42:49 ◼ ► And since that is your fundamental personality it feels to me like a phone is as far as you need to go you know you can [TS]
01:42:57 ◼ ► get to giving drugs to a drug addict in a way yeah the last thing you need is Twitter on your phone. [TS]
01:43:03 ◼ ► The last thing you need is Twitter on your watch. I don't think that's good for you. [TS]
01:43:12 ◼ ► and I'm going into the Apple Watch with the assumption that this will be the most locked down device that I have [TS]
01:43:22 ◼ ► That's great for me but I I would not I would not recommend this for you right away. [TS]
01:43:31 ◼ ► I could actually see an apple watch just destroying your entire life piece by piece because you're just constantly [TS]
01:43:41 ◼ ► Their whole bunch of reviews that came out about the watch did you happen to see the one that the verge did it was a [TS]
01:43:50 ◼ ► He did a video review of Santa I would say people are going to to check out two reviews because I read a bunch of them [TS]
01:44:00 ◼ ► I would say the two to check out are John Gruber's written review which I have read about from the rest. [TS]
01:44:06 ◼ ► Yeah I didn't read that so he wrote he wrote a review and then I think the verges Nilay Patel did a video review [TS]
01:44:19 ◼ ► But there was there was one little moment in the life Patel's review where which I found very frustrating where he's [TS]
01:44:25 ◼ ► talking about because he's had the watch for a week and he's talking about how distracted he finds himself [TS]
01:44:31 ◼ ► and he did make one very good point about how looking at your watch comes with a whole lot of cultural baggage which is [TS]
01:44:42 ◼ ► when someone looks at their watch in front of you there's almost no more indirectly rude gesture that you can possibly [TS]
01:44:50 ◼ ► And so he was complaining that because he's getting notifications on Twitter and e-mail [TS]
01:44:55 ◼ ► and Instagram likes that that the people around him are aware of how distracted he is. [TS]
01:45:02 ◼ ► And all I could think of was well this is your own damn fault right. You you have left all of these notifications on. [TS]
01:45:11 ◼ ► and you're going to leave all of those notifications on you shouldn't own a watch that that's that sounds terrible [TS]
01:45:18 ◼ ► great if you're going to lock it down so much that only the most extreme notifications make it to reste then why bother [TS]
01:45:26 ◼ ► in the first place why not just have your phone vibrate your pocket if you're going to if you're going to use it so [TS]
01:45:31 ◼ ► little that it's not saving you taking your phone out of your pocket fifty times a day. [TS]
01:45:36 ◼ ► The what's the watch so you can do it oh it's saving you two or three times taking a fade out of your pocket. [TS]
01:45:42 ◼ ► Well that's happening with the i Phone six plus is designed to stay in the pocket more so I'm I am looking at the watch [TS]
01:45:54 ◼ ► I'm imagining that the limited notification that I want are primarily from family. [TS]
01:46:06 ◼ ► but I can see it being really useful to know in a different way about certain kind of notifications. [TS]
01:46:13 ◼ ► So I went to the Apple store today for example the thing that was really interesting is you can put it on your wrist [TS]
01:46:23 ◼ ► and the thing that they have is this is this tap notification that makes it feel like the watch is tapping your wrist [TS]
01:46:31 ◼ ► and that to me seems like the primary selling feature of I can see wanting to route different kinds of notifications [TS]
01:46:41 ◼ ► through this system so that when someone messages I know that it is my wife in this very immediate way. [TS]
01:47:01 ◼ ► This is a piece of technology that I wouldn't be surprised if I get the watch and through using it. [TS]
01:47:08 ◼ ► Feel like you know what. This actually isn't super helpful. I wouldn't be surprised by that. [TS]
01:47:16 ◼ ► when I got it was it was obvious that this is going to become part of my life even though I don't know how. [TS]
01:47:21 ◼ ► Where is the the watch feel like there is a much greater possibility that I could get this watch [TS]
01:47:28 ◼ ► and return it very quickly within the window. Like you know what. This just isn't for me. [TS]
01:47:34 ◼ ► Eventually at some point I will have a watch but do I want to start with the first generation. [TS]
01:47:44 ◼ ► but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that I don't actually like it that I too find it a bit too distracting [TS]
01:47:52 ◼ ► but the bottom line is I think if you are a notification junkie if this is your personality type which I kind of think [TS]
01:48:00 ◼ ► They can you shouldn't get the watch I don't think if you're the kind of person who is more on my end of the spectrum [TS]
01:48:08 ◼ ► and very much locking down your technology then I think the watch sounds like it has more possible use for you. [TS]
01:48:19 ◼ ► and honestly I'm just very interested in this piece of technology so I thought though do you think about what did you [TS]
01:48:24 ◼ ► think of touching it and saying I have to say you know what was what was your impression. Yes it is interesting. [TS]
01:48:29 ◼ ► Actually I'll just send you I took a picture at the Apple store today so I took a photograph of it on my wrist [TS]
01:48:36 ◼ ► and not one of the reasons I wanted to see them in person is because you just have no sense of them looking at the [TS]
01:48:45 ◼ ► apple page in no small part because Apple shows you these giant enormous photographs of the watch right. [TS]
01:48:52 ◼ ► Like I'm trying to look at a picture of the Apple Watch but I'm on a twenty seven inch monitor [TS]
01:49:01 ◼ ► Yeah it is very different looking at them in person and. I like them better than I thought I would in person. [TS]
01:49:18 ◼ ► and take a look at them because they're just different than you think they're going to be [TS]
01:49:28 ◼ ► I was I was impressed by some of the watches and some of the big on your wrist and I mean you're not you're not Tani. [TS]
01:49:39 ◼ ► and it looks to stay out of now to say you know if you're a big big big I'm taller than you is that what you're trying [TS]
01:49:48 ◼ ► to get you to get an edge in your wrists and hands are bigger than mine and it looks bigger on your hand. [TS]
01:49:53 ◼ ► Yeah that that is the forty two millimeter version of the watch and I like that one. [TS]
01:50:00 ◼ ► One the one that I sent you the picture of as I tried out and I pre-ordered the link bracelet watch [TS]
01:50:12 ◼ ► and the only other one that I was considering was the black aluminum watch with the sport band [TS]
01:50:30 ◼ ► but I find that a very unpleasant experience in a watch I always want to feel or watch on my wrist when I wear it [TS]
01:50:35 ◼ ► and so the link bracelet one was like was very solid in the hands and so I found that I was very good like that a lot. [TS]
01:50:44 ◼ ► Doesn't actually spend all of their time and engineering effort trying to make it constantly lighter and lighter. [TS]
01:50:55 ◼ ► It was it was it was very interesting going into the Apple store you know they had all of the watches kind a locked [TS]
01:51:03 ◼ ► and see them so I got to just take a look at a bunch of them like the miller news bracelets. [TS]
01:51:08 ◼ ► It was it was a very interesting experience and it's a very interesting piece of technology. [TS]
01:51:17 ◼ ► You know what the thing is you know the thing is pretty it's like comparing apples and kiwi fruit. [TS]
01:51:24 ◼ ► Yeah they're just they're totally different objects designed for totally different purposes [TS]
01:51:31 ◼ ► and one of the things that does make me slightly concerned did come from Gruber's review is talking about how often you [TS]
01:51:43 ◼ ► Yeah and that's something I know I do all the time is just looking at my watch to get a sense of what the time is. [TS]
01:51:50 ◼ ► But because the Apple Watch screen isn't on constantly It requires a gesture to know who to wake up to show you the [TS]
01:52:01 ◼ ► and that might be a reason to to return the watch if I find it's not something that I can get used to because I am [TS]
01:52:07 ◼ ► aware of how much I sort of subtly turn my wrist to look at the watch and see what time it is. [TS]
01:52:12 ◼ ► Yeah I also know what I really want to know is how do I check what time it is when I'm in the theater [TS]
01:52:23 ◼ ► but I don't want to do that if it's going to turn on to be really bright in a dim theater there are lots of little [TS]
01:52:31 ◼ ► and I can imagine a whole audience of people with digital watches that light up every time they rotate their wrists [TS]
01:52:37 ◼ ► being super distracting and in something like a theater situation. Now most say what happens I'm not happy about it. [TS]
01:52:49 ◼ ► Well I know that you know maybe it become a thing and they don't have to you know you but you don't have to. [TS]
01:52:59 ◼ ► No I mean there's a lot of things I don't have to tell you that you can't have today I do not think that the watch will [TS]
01:53:14 ◼ ► but I think we can safely say that there is there is a certain level of expectation that almost everybody has a [TS]
01:53:22 ◼ ► and there are very many things in your life that would be more difficult without the smartphone [TS]
01:53:28 ◼ ► My my suspicion is that ninety percent of the benefits of being connected to the Internet [TS]
01:53:41 ◼ ► but I think you can live without the watch for a very long time I think I think the watch is going to become standalone [TS]
01:53:48 ◼ ► just like Additionally an i Phone is nothing without a computer and a phone a stand alone. [TS]
01:53:58 ◼ ► OK Of course the watch will eventually be used. But it's always going to be limited by being a smaller screen. [TS]
01:54:05 ◼ ► and just wait until we get to the retinal implant stage that's what I'm looking forward to. We're not there yet. [TS]
01:54:16 ◼ ► Hey everyone this episode has been sponsored by back like a spec places online backup for your computer for just five [TS]
01:54:24 ◼ ► I used by Blaise myself and it's one of the best computer e things I've ever done a year [TS]
01:54:33 ◼ ► I lost a lot of data I know everything and yes I had more time kept show so I did rescue a lot [TS]
01:54:40 ◼ ► It was a real wake up call and I'm sure you can imagine the disapproving grunts and sighs that gray made [TS]
01:54:46 ◼ ► when I told him about it and he told me then as he had a million times before that I needed online backup. [TS]
01:54:56 ◼ ► and at that point long before Hollywood existed I signed up for that place now since starting up I haven't had a [TS]
01:55:02 ◼ ► problem. I've not needed to back up. But one day I might and I'll tell you something else. [TS]
01:55:13 ◼ ► It's always working on my computer in the background. Gradually backing up files over the Internet. [TS]
01:55:19 ◼ ► and I live without the stress of having all my eggs in one basket here at the house you can't put a price on that [TS]
01:55:25 ◼ ► and I'll be saying the exact same thing even if back players weren't sponsoring this pod cast which that which we're [TS]
01:55:30 ◼ ► grateful for a few extra things worth telling you if you do have a big time failure they can send you a hard drive with [TS]
01:55:37 ◼ ► your data old backed up so you don't have to take everything back down through the Internet choose like it was uploaded. [TS]
01:55:43 ◼ ► I think there is a fee for that but that's pretty handy and will save you a lot of time. [TS]
01:55:47 ◼ ► They also have an app where you can remotely access individual files that you've backed up from the computer which I [TS]
01:56:04 ◼ ► I think once you say it is a really good shot she'll be signing up for good luck I did go to back Blaze dot com slash [TS]
01:56:10 ◼ ► hello internet. That way when you do sign up they'll know you came from the podcast which is handy for us. [TS]
01:56:16 ◼ ► That address again but Blaze dot com slash hello internet. I cannot recommend them highly enough. [TS]
01:56:23 ◼ ► It's a really good service it's brilliant it is working right now as I speak on my computer [TS]
01:56:33 ◼ ► Let's talk about should we if we I think we have to I think we have to I think people who expect us to how God said it [TS]
01:56:43 ◼ ► that down the answer. Well what your problem is my problem. Do you want to skip it. [TS]
01:56:51 ◼ ► I'm going to shake out for another two weeks. OK You know what let's let's try to do this quickly. [TS]
01:56:56 ◼ ► But at least let's just at least touch on it because this is one of the rare times that our pod cast will come out [TS]
01:57:05 ◼ ► So everyone is going to I mean we've heard the same people want to talk about the latest machinations with the You Tube [TS]
01:57:13 ◼ ► subscription. Yes Yes Do you want to give a quick executive summary of your state of play as we recalled. [TS]
01:57:24 ◼ ► but the gist of it is that You Tube has announced that they are intending to at some point in the future have a [TS]
01:57:32 ◼ ► subscription service where people pay You Tube money in exchange for not having ads on You Tube videos [TS]
01:57:40 ◼ ► and there are no real concrete details. I think you and I can both say that. Assume you have as well. [TS]
01:57:48 ◼ ► We have received e-mails from You Tube telling us that they would like us to review their new terms and conditions [TS]
01:58:02 ◼ ► So normally I can't imagine how many e-mail you must have received with all of your accounts because I felt like I got [TS]
01:58:10 ◼ ► and then click this Agree button on our sort of actual human being a man it may have better read you the next level up [TS]
01:58:21 ◼ ► But but yeah so this obviously this is something that is going to happen in the You Tube subscriptions [TS]
01:58:29 ◼ ► and so I suppose just in case people don't understand because it's easy to misunderstand it. [TS]
01:58:35 ◼ ► It's the way it sounds is if you don't if you're a viewer nothing's going to change you can bright watching You Tube [TS]
01:58:45 ◼ ► They'll have the little ads on them but you can also pay the ten dollars and have this ad free experience. [TS]
01:59:00 ◼ ► That's that's that's an excellent point because I do think some people are confusing it with the pay wall which is [TS]
01:59:05 ◼ ► exactly what I don't want to do I don't want to put stuff behind a pay wall which is partly why I didn't sign up with [TS]
01:59:12 ◼ ► that's all I'm trying to avoid that could be really irritated that You Tube was mandating a pay wall so that is not the [TS]
01:59:33 ◼ ► This is just the way You Tube's going to work now and that's the choice we do have as I understand it [TS]
01:59:41 ◼ ► and this is sort of how it seems to be this is what's being said publicly as well is that we could deactivate [TS]
01:59:52 ◼ ► but if we want to have advertising on videos to help a certain income we have to be part of this other program where [TS]
02:00:04 ◼ ► Let me just quote something really quickly that I was doing so before the noise on my computer here. [TS]
02:00:11 ◼ ► Hold on a second I need to get my other computer I was taking some notes. I'll be right back. [TS]
02:00:15 ◼ ► OK talk to the listeners have a say while Grace away. Let's talk more about cricket. Now many kidding over. [TS]
02:00:27 ◼ ► Seriously we should talk sometime maybe estimable a podcast on. Brady's quick corner you know you can with me. [TS]
02:00:41 ◼ ► Well now let's just get back to this technology stuff that I said time hello are you there. Yeah yeah. [TS]
02:00:51 ◼ ► OK so I was trying to take notes on this before I sent off the terms and conditions [TS]
02:00:55 ◼ ► and things to my entertainment lawyer to review because whenever something's written in legal fees even if you think [TS]
02:01:07 ◼ ► When you read something about physics they use words in a way that you don't expect. [TS]
02:01:18 ◼ ► when I'm reading these legal contracts I know the words have specific meanings that mean something to lawyers [TS]
02:01:26 ◼ ► So so I haven't listened to a word you said since you said you had an entertainment lawyer [TS]
02:01:32 ◼ ► and that was the first question I have is does this imply you have other lawyers other other of other spheres of your [TS]
02:01:41 ◼ ► Yeah I mean sort of yeah this is this is I mean let's back up my thoughts of you about [TS]
02:01:52 ◼ ► and yes there are a number of people who charge very high hourly rates and I work with now that I'm a business. [TS]
02:02:00 ◼ ► Person I guess just finally it you just like you have had a car to get serviced. Yes yes that is true. [TS]
02:02:06 ◼ ► So you've got you've got a lawyer looking over the word yes to make sure there's no care anywhere these [TS]
02:02:12 ◼ ► I'm saying that basically because what I'm saying now is just my interpretation of this. [TS]
02:02:16 ◼ ► I don't have anybody actually backing up and I know what I'm talking about that I can look I want to say this [TS]
02:02:20 ◼ ► but so the there's a section on this thing which says there's a frequently asked question things as what happens if I [TS]
02:02:30 ◼ ► OK You Tube's answer if you choose not to participate in our new paid offerings you can change your video settings to [TS]
02:02:38 ◼ ► private to keep the videos posted on You Tube So I think this will cause a lot of confusion this line [TS]
02:02:47 ◼ ► but no one can see a private video it's not even like unlisted like probably kept me sane. [TS]
02:02:55 ◼ ► If I sent a video to private the only people who can see it are people I explicitly invite to the video through my name [TS]
02:03:04 ◼ ► through an incredibly clumsy youtube system so it's not like you could ever do this with subscribers or anything. [TS]
02:03:11 ◼ ► Yeah right yeah I would have to if I wanted to send out a video to the people who subscribe to me. [TS]
02:03:17 ◼ ► One I would need to know all their email addresses which usually doesn't even give me [TS]
02:03:21 ◼ ► and to even if I knew them I would have to individually fill out one point six million forms to invite them all to [TS]
02:03:34 ◼ ► Sure if you don't want to accept it you still have an option which is totally crippling to everything you ever want to [TS]
02:03:41 ◼ ► Yeah so you know even though I have my lawyer looking over this document it's basically I have her doing that so that [TS]
02:03:50 ◼ ► but we don't have any actual choice it's not like I can go to You Tube and say you know what. [TS]
02:03:55 ◼ ► Paragraph three subsection two I don't quite like that you two have going to tell me. [TS]
02:04:03 ◼ ► when I saw it on You Tube There's only one option which is a gigantic button which says click I agree [TS]
02:04:08 ◼ ► and there's nothing else. And so clearly this will clearly just just click the button. [TS]
02:04:17 ◼ ► and even even trying to get the text out of this little page so I could send it to my lawyer. [TS]
02:04:22 ◼ ► They obviously they doing everything they can to make sure that you don't read it because even the document itself has [TS]
02:04:28 ◼ ► links to other documents were other terms are defined. It's just it's impossible to try to read through. [TS]
02:04:33 ◼ ► But I'm like an idiot and I still did my best and highlighted a whole bunch of stuff which is just weird but [TS]
02:04:38 ◼ ► but basically we don't have any choice and we have to we have to sign up to this now. Yeah. [TS]
02:04:44 ◼ ► Is that I mean for all of this huffing and puffing and us going oh my goodness are we getting shafted. [TS]
02:04:52 ◼ ► Here is the reason why I don't like being forced into it because and let me let me back up here. [TS]
02:04:59 ◼ ► I have found in my business dealings that the people who want you to agree to contracts [TS]
02:05:07 ◼ ► or the people who want to force you into contracts are the people I least like working with [TS]
02:05:14 ◼ ► and business arrangements with because the reason they want to force you into a contract where they want to sign you up [TS]
02:05:20 ◼ ► for six months or a year on something is because they know full well that you wouldn't stay out of your own free will. [TS]
02:05:31 ◼ ► I almost almost almost always have the barest of formal agreements or an even just hand shake verbal deals [TS]
02:05:39 ◼ ► and those people are always a pleasure to work with because they're not trying to lock me into a contract [TS]
02:05:44 ◼ ► or anything because they know we are in a mutual beneficial situation although as soon as as soon as we get to podcasts [TS]
02:06:00 ◼ ► And I knew I should have got an entertainment lawyer but I think like you and I are a good example of this. [TS]
02:06:07 ◼ ► Yeah you're not locked into a contract and neither of us can stop us at any point in time. [TS]
02:06:12 ◼ ► Yeah but we do it and we like doing it and it mutually benefit like everything is in agreement Yeah yeah [TS]
02:06:21 ◼ ► and you have absolutely no option as it would if it was an amazing deal wouldn't obviously want to sign up. [TS]
02:06:29 ◼ ► Wouldn't it be stupid for me not to sign up. Like that's that's the way that the deal should be arranged. Yeah. [TS]
02:06:45 ◼ ► That's why also in my business I basically don't really deal with long term contracts anymore because it's always it's [TS]
02:06:51 ◼ ► But also I mean they could just say that you want to make changes that are so hostile that they can't do them [TS]
02:07:09 ◼ ► So here possible right there wholesale their whole sales pitch here is you're going to make more money. [TS]
02:07:16 ◼ ► But I was looking at OK Well there's a whole lot of different kinds of people on You Tube So what are the details here. [TS]
02:07:27 ◼ ► As usual you tube is doing their ever so delightful fifty five forty five percent split. [TS]
02:07:37 ◼ ► but everybody's saying ten dollars a month you pay ten dollars a month to subscribe to You Tube You Tube keeps four [TS]
02:07:44 ◼ ► dollars and fifty cents of that and five dollars and fifty cents of that is left over to go to creators. [TS]
02:07:50 ◼ ► Yeah except then all of everybody's five dollars and fifty cents are pooled together. [TS]
02:08:00 ◼ ► And this is this is immediately where everybody starts getting their feathers ruffled about it says a big concern is [TS]
02:08:06 ◼ ► for someone say like I say is you've got your diehard fans that only care about videos [TS]
02:08:13 ◼ ► but then your four dollars fifty is being put in this huge pot with all the Taylor Swift fans who watch five hundred [TS]
02:08:19 ◼ ► million videos a day and try to shift it so your four dollars fifty along with everything else. [TS]
02:08:25 ◼ ► Yes as far as I look at this in a moment as far as we can tell though the music is separate from this. [TS]
02:08:30 ◼ ► Yes we have sexy which also starts making me wonder about well they will get to it in a moment. [TS]
02:08:35 ◼ ► but yeah everybody's in a big pool together which fundamentally changes the relationship of You Tube channels to each [TS]
02:08:42 ◼ ► other because suddenly we're competing with each other for the same pool of money. [TS]
02:08:50 ◼ ► If I link to Brady's video from my video I'm actually undercutting myself if people go over [TS]
02:09:02 ◼ ► They're OK I don't like this incentive all of a sudden that makes every channel be I mean we already have incentives to [TS]
02:09:11 ◼ ► But now this makes it very directly competitive to a limited pool of money is not is not like the ads where it's like [TS]
02:09:20 ◼ ► oh the pie can get bigger for everybody else of use go it's like I don't like that incentive. [TS]
02:09:26 ◼ ► OK I've had a lot of that you're interesting here are the details about this of the fifty five percent that's left over [TS]
02:09:44 ◼ ► or watch time of your content as a percentage of the monthly views or watch time of all [TS]
02:09:53 ◼ ► or a subset of participating content in the relevant subscription offering as determined. By You Tube. [TS]
02:10:01 ◼ ► OK so this sentence is a little bit difficult to parse and I'm a little bit jet lagged [TS]
02:10:10 ◼ ► Either way this is terrible for channels like myself that upload really infrequently because I'm either getting a [TS]
02:10:23 ◼ ► and I'm going to be competing My one video against every other video that's ever uploaded to You Tube you get the [TS]
02:10:31 ◼ ► or the watch time percentage which is also terrible for me because my one video is four minutes long [TS]
02:10:44 ◼ ► and admittedly I haven't thought this through like you have some probably going to say something really dumb in the [TS]
02:10:49 ◼ ► I have thought this through with my incredibly jetlag brain so I don't even know if I'm making sense right now so [TS]
02:11:01 ◼ ► but also they make less videos that they have to do less work in some way you know a few nuances aside [TS]
02:11:10 ◼ ► but also this watch time thing I don't think necessarily is bad because I think one of the reasons you have so many of [TS]
02:11:21 ◼ ► Like if you make your videos very long I don't think you'd have as many of us on some of your videos [TS]
02:11:28 ◼ ► So I think like you know keeping your overall watch time goes up because you get so many of these [TS]
02:11:37 ◼ ► or really you know optimum length so I think that's I think that's a bit of well let me interrupt you for a second. [TS]
02:11:48 ◼ ► My concern is much less about what are the particulars of what does this mean for me. [TS]
02:11:54 ◼ ► Yeah I think this is not good news for me but unless concerned about that precise. [TS]
02:12:00 ◼ ► We because of the work I put in in the preceding months to to make this less of a problem for me you know it's like [TS]
02:12:07 ◼ ► that is why I have done all of that so that I don't have to be having some massive freak out about needing to move into [TS]
02:12:12 ◼ ► a smaller apartment because the You Tube algorithm has changed. Yeah right like that. [TS]
02:12:16 ◼ ► Like I have spent a lot of time making sure that's not the case. So I'm much calmer now than I would otherwise be. [TS]
02:12:22 ◼ ► but the thing that I don't like about this is that it gives the You Tube even more control with their algorithms about [TS]
02:12:33 ◼ ► Yeah and that's what I don't like and what do you think they're saying low loan stuff. [TS]
02:12:38 ◼ ► Well who the hell knows because it says attributable to monthly views or watch time. [TS]
02:12:44 ◼ ► You know whatever you guys don't need to know the specifics of this thing you're agreeing to. [TS]
02:12:48 ◼ ► We haven't really decided. We've never known the specific site. We've never known what's going on with the ad revenue. [TS]
02:12:54 ◼ ► and this is what you went Yeah OK But here here is the part of this that I really start to think wait a minute what [TS]
02:13:00 ◼ ► does this mean. Right is OK monthly views or watch time whatever You Tube now has more control. [TS]
02:13:12 ◼ ► or a subset of the participating content in the relevant subscription offering the way that reads to me is a You Tube [TS]
02:13:31 ◼ ► or they're going to have the vlogger bundle or they're going to have the gaming bundle [TS]
02:13:43 ◼ ► The worst the most awful is business in the world that everybody hates. It's all bundled together. [TS]
02:13:53 ◼ ► And so again it's like wait a minute wait a minute I'm reading this as you're planning to have bundles. [TS]
02:14:01 ◼ ► What bundle in my going to be in you do you just get to decide who you're going to group my channel list [TS]
02:14:07 ◼ ► and now suddenly if you were going to basically be asking me to encourage people to subscribe to your ad free version [TS]
02:14:14 ◼ ► but you have implicitly associated me with maybe a bunch of people I don't want to be associated with but now like [TS]
02:14:19 ◼ ► when I promote those subscriptions I'm also helping those other people like I don't like this one bit. [TS]
02:14:28 ◼ ► and I also feel like we mentioned before that one of the You Tube conferences I had a big conversation with some of the [TS]
02:14:38 ◼ ► people there about why don't you offer a paid version of You Tube where we don't have to see ads like I was pushing for [TS]
02:14:44 ◼ ► this. Yeah and I would totally pay for this but you know what I won't do I'm not going to pay for a bunch of bundles. [TS]
02:14:52 ◼ ► Right because that's like that's not how I use You Tube I'm watching a whole bunch of random stuff on You Tube When I [TS]
02:14:58 ◼ ► go there because I'm links from somewhere else to some random video and the notion that I'm going to try to prepay [TS]
02:15:05 ◼ ► and select for particular kinds of videos that I want to that's just terrible and X. [TS]
02:15:10 ◼ ► Way that how grazing nature of those well doesn't and finding new stuff that's what they're going to commit to. [TS]
02:15:15 ◼ ► Yeah these are the channels that I'm going to and that that that that to me is terrible and it it isn't. [TS]
02:15:28 ◼ ► and never see an ad on You Tube again I would do that nicely I thought that's what was going to happen I can give no [TS]
02:15:35 ◼ ► Well that's what I was suggesting to you to let me pay you and I think ten dollars a month is a bit rich [TS]
02:15:49 ◼ ► but if I then have to make additional decisions about pre deciding what I'm going to watch without the ads forget it [TS]
02:15:54 ◼ ► now I'm not going to do this at all. That just is just not worth it anymore. But the but the way. [TS]
02:16:00 ◼ ► I read that that's the impression that I get and I think that's a terrible terrible way to run this. [TS]
02:16:07 ◼ ► I don't I mean does it sound that way to you does this sound like what you know now that you know charming [TS]
02:16:13 ◼ ► and convincing that that little bit of language that he kind of unpacked from a bit makes me think that the other thing [TS]
02:16:22 ◼ ► but I think that must happen is they going to load the Such with so much junk in ads that you're going to be kind of [TS]
02:16:33 ◼ ► Yeah I don't think because at the moment I think well why would I bother paying I don't mind putting up with the odd ad [TS]
02:16:37 ◼ ► that I can skip anyway but it is going to get like I can imagine there's going to be Pugin skippable ads everywhere [TS]
02:16:44 ◼ ► and it's going to become such a thing that you going to go well I'm going to get out of this. [TS]
02:16:48 ◼ ► Yeah that's exactly right there's a perverse incentive now for You Tube to make their free version as terrible as [TS]
02:17:00 ◼ ► when we upload videos on the monetization page there's been a new option which has some hilarious name like super long [TS]
02:17:09 ◼ ► and skippable ads. That has not been enabled by default but if you check that box. [TS]
02:17:18 ◼ ► but they even have a little warning like oh checking this box might dramatically drop off the number of people who [TS]
02:17:25 ◼ ► Well it's an interesting option to include You Tube you have an ad that you're trying out that you know is going to [TS]
02:17:36 ◼ ► and now that they're introducing this subscription is like oh these pieces are coming together. [TS]
02:17:41 ◼ ► You have I don't even know what that box does but you have let's say a minute long [TS]
02:17:55 ◼ ► and now I understand why that option is here is because I bet in the future that is going to be. [TS]
02:18:02 ◼ ► and one of the things that I worry about is I've always been surprised that youtube even gives us options about what [TS]
02:18:12 ◼ ► but I wouldn't I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if after agreeing to these terms they just say oh part of the agreement [TS]
02:18:18 ◼ ► is you just have to run all the ads. Do you have a pop up ads on the bottom of your screen. Tough luck. [TS]
02:18:24 ◼ ► It doesn't matter because we want to make the free experience just terrible for everybody [TS]
02:18:31 ◼ ► It's just that I hate agreeing to this kind of stuff because there's even a section I can quite find it right now [TS]
02:18:38 ◼ ► but there's some section about how once you agree to this we reserve the right to change any of the terms at any point [TS]
02:18:44 ◼ ► in time. Why even bother with an agreement at that stage I was like What am I agreeing to. [TS]
02:18:56 ◼ ► or why are we going through this like a boogie feeder where you're pretending like you're getting some kind of [TS]
02:19:05 ◼ ► But I am held to every part of it if you know what will happen is eventually people who have a greater are going to get [TS]
02:19:12 ◼ ► and that's going to say if you have a son if you have expressed about Nelson by this date you pushed into anyway so [TS]
02:19:20 ◼ ► Yeah yeah the other one has one line here which is which is we want you to agree now [TS]
02:19:30 ◼ ► Like explicitly requiring you to agree to something that you can't even find out all the details of now I was just kind [TS]
02:19:35 ◼ ► of furious reading through this document and cap and like highlighting stuff that made me angry. [TS]
02:19:40 ◼ ► I want to really clear there is a possibility that this will make more money for You Tube creators [TS]
02:19:47 ◼ ► and it will be better in the future I do not want to deny that and I've seen some people making real doom [TS]
02:19:53 ◼ ► and gloom videos about this and I think is a little too easy to jump straight to hyperbole about oh this is going. [TS]
02:20:04 ◼ ► Yeah that's it that's not my opinion on this because waste because people talk like this about every change to you. [TS]
02:20:15 ◼ ► Yeah I think this comes this comes up all the time so I don't think this is like this is as disastrous as some of the [TS]
02:20:25 ◼ ► but what I do think it is that once again it's everything that You Tube does it feels like are you trying to [TS]
02:20:35 ◼ ► or are you trying to make me feel as uncertain as I possibly can about all of your business decisions. [TS]
02:20:43 ◼ ► and that revenue from the videos is up because their advertising rates are just terrible [TS]
02:20:50 ◼ ► and just like we discussed with that's the last time you don't need a lot of people to directly give you money in order [TS]
02:20:57 ◼ ► to beat our advertising rates on You Tube So even if a very very small number of people ever subscribe to this it is [TS]
02:21:08 ◼ ► But it's just You Tube isn't making me feel good about this in the way that it is happening [TS]
02:21:16 ◼ ► There's something else that I do any other thoughts isn't one of the one of the little thought about this. [TS]
02:21:28 ◼ ► Just sometimes I'm like thinking Gosh what you know what does this all mean for me I have no idea. [TS]
02:21:36 ◼ ► Now I just want to make videos I just wanna make videos man I just want to like I don't know what point in my life my [TS]
02:21:43 ◼ ► job moved from having cool ideas for videos and making them putting on You Tube to all the stuff about verticals [TS]
02:21:53 ◼ ► and that like what happened happened to get this is this is one of things I think people. [TS]
02:22:00 ◼ ► Underestimate because they see the videos and they go oh you must think it was all day long [TS]
02:22:08 ◼ ► And as time goes on there's a lot of the like the back end business nonsense to deal with that is just a huge huge pain [TS]
02:22:15 ◼ ► in the butt go on you know something else you want to bring up so the other thing I was going to say is that this ten [TS]
02:22:21 ◼ ► dollar a month thing again this seems like a speculative number pulled out of the air from a verge article as far as I [TS]
02:22:32 ◼ ► but either way one of the other things I think about with this is to look at You Tube You know I don't mean to tell you [TS]
02:22:43 ◼ ► but if on top of this you know if you want me to pay money to you as a service you are now playing in the Netflix game. [TS]
02:22:58 ◼ ► There are a lot of things on You Tube I would want to work better like Netflix and we talked about this on the past [TS]
02:23:05 ◼ ► but there's a lot of them and at the very least it's remember where I was in the video. [TS]
02:23:09 ◼ ► Allow me to watch videos in chronological order you need to have a way to let creators actually organize things in a [TS]
02:23:17 ◼ ► It can't just be I mean I'm sure you too believe it this way but it can't just be this endless pile of random videos. [TS]
02:23:27 ◼ ► If you know if I'm paying for this I would also expect it to be a much more enjoyable video watching platform [TS]
02:23:35 ◼ ► and for the moment at the moment you say While You Tube's flaky at the moment but I'm not paying for. [TS]
02:23:51 ◼ ► but the minute you start transferring money over it now it's now it moves into the realm of things that you can [TS]
02:24:00 ◼ ► Is that going to rub off on to us as well that a grain like because I mean if someone doesn't like one of my videos I [TS]
02:24:05 ◼ ► can Jay can say oh well you can have your money back but if they are paying money to you cheap [TS]
02:24:11 ◼ ► and suddenly they don't like a number fall video because that wasn't what they're expecting [TS]
02:24:14 ◼ ► and they've paid I think they've paid money are they going to start saying I can't believe I'm paying money for this. [TS]
02:24:20 ◼ ► Like I know that's not the actuality of what's happening. But do you think that could come to bite us as well. [TS]
02:24:31 ◼ ► and we should be you know come on say I can't believe you made that mistake in your video I'm paying ten bucks a month [TS]
02:24:37 ◼ ► to watch your stuff ad free. Yeah I wonder I wonder. Well actually it's only is only half of that ten dollars month. [TS]
02:24:44 ◼ ► Oh actually it only point one percent of that ten dollars a month but that doesn't that doesn't that doesn't matter [TS]
02:24:51 ◼ ► but I know it's Or it's funny I do feel that way about we have a Netflix subscription [TS]
02:24:58 ◼ ► Maybe they're good or maybe they're not good on Netflix and I would I would cancel [TS]
02:25:04 ◼ ► but it is slightly different because Netflix does not have a free option where you can just watch everything [TS]
02:25:12 ◼ ► and I'll just I'll just leave this down as as future follow up if anyone ever wants to remember this I bet this goes [TS]
02:25:20 ◼ ► the way of cable T.V. That eventually in little corners ads start to sneak back in. [TS]
02:25:29 ◼ ► That maybe is just an ad when you when you're at youtube dot com and it plays at the top but but sooner [TS]
02:25:36 ◼ ► or later you tube is not going to be able to resist the temptation of like double dipping on the subscription [TS]
02:25:46 ◼ ► Because those people that have paid the monthly Faye are probably the premium most advertisers most want. [TS]
02:25:52 ◼ ► This is exactly it. I know there are many services that I use that I am I am happy to pay for. [TS]
02:26:00 ◼ ► Money if you get rid of the ads for and part of that is because I'm a person who highly valued my time [TS]
02:26:10 ◼ ► and also you're the sort of person that has a degree of disposable income because you can because you can pay for stuff [TS]
02:26:16 ◼ ► that's because I can afford to pay for getting rid of the ads you know I can decide to drop a bunch of money on Apple [TS]
02:26:22 ◼ ► watches because I want it so I yeah I am obviously someone that advertisers want to reach more than say like a college [TS]
02:26:33 ◼ ► They're less interested in that audience and one of the final thing that has me worried. [TS]
02:26:39 ◼ ► Speaking of double dipping in a way it is. We can now at this current time embed ads in our own videos at the end. [TS]
02:26:53 ◼ ► Yeah and there are many reasons we do that not least of which because the You Tube [TS]
02:26:58 ◼ ► and there are borderline worthless yet but one of the things I wonder about is I highlighted it here. JD. [TS]
02:27:10 ◼ ► Which says you know which ads are the ones that are going to be removed in the subscription service [TS]
02:27:17 ◼ ► and says We You Tube are referring specifically to the You Tube advertising formats. [TS]
02:27:24 ◼ ► There are no changes to any other agreements that the creators may have made which includes things like product [TS]
02:27:37 ◼ ► OK so now here is suddenly what I think is a massive conflict from from the customer perspective. [TS]
02:28:14 ◼ ► I feel like well now I'm in a really terrible position because I want the audience to be happy [TS]
02:28:21 ◼ ► but I would be really pissed if there's an ad in a video that I'm paying for an ad free experience [TS]
02:28:27 ◼ ► and I don't I don't know how You Tube is going to resolve this except for eventually basically changing that part [TS]
02:28:50 ◼ ► But some other things some of the channels I think are really more dependent as you know there are whole commercial [TS]
02:29:01 ◼ ► Maybe people will accept it like I would pay for an ad for experience to watch say the Super Bowl without ads [TS]
02:29:06 ◼ ► but I'm not going to be able to avoid all the the ads all over the field in the fences [TS]
02:29:12 ◼ ► and stuff like that say ad for a dozen main ad for a necessarily it just means one type of ad for a [TS]
02:29:27 ◼ ► and start doing really obvious things like you know having a thirty second Dr Pepper ad run at the start of the video [TS]
02:29:34 ◼ ► like just like a prayer oh well yeah you have to be problems because the ads I'm putting in my videos are at the end. [TS]
02:29:42 ◼ ► Yeah but I can very easily see a situation here for creators like me or creators you just upload very infrequently. [TS]
02:29:51 ◼ ► If this new system turns out that that you earn less money because of the way the distribution breaks down there well [TS]
02:29:58 ◼ ► now there's even more incentive to put. Ads that you sell yourself in your own videos. Yeah. [TS]
02:30:09 ◼ ► I just I think You Tube is in kind of a tricky situation with this because I don't for a fact that there are channels [TS]
02:30:18 ◼ ► that have You Tube told them you can't embed videos anymore then they would walk away from You Tube that the money from [TS]
02:30:27 ◼ ► and the money from the embedded ads is much much greater than the money that they're ever going to get from You Tube [TS]
02:30:34 ◼ ► but to get that money for the embedded that because they have a big You Tube subscription base. [TS]
02:30:41 ◼ ► and take their audience with them the way the vessel operates right now is vessel does explicitly allow people to also [TS]
02:30:52 ◼ ► And although you're paying for a vessel I think that vessel has the big advantage that is the new thing [TS]
02:31:04 ◼ ► So even though you pay for a vessel it works just like Hulu where there are still ads even though you pay [TS]
02:31:11 ◼ ► and I think we just got to laugh I feel like I am impressed by some of the very big You Tubers they've been able to [TS]
02:31:21 ◼ ► And I think that there are people who have big enough audiences that follow them separately that they could walk away [TS]
02:31:39 ◼ ► But they you're right like they they're going to have problems if they try to force the You Tube channels to give up [TS]
02:31:52 ◼ ► but they're trying like it's a messy messy situation. So I I just I don't know how this is going to pan out. [TS]
02:32:00 ◼ ► Out I didn't know that hot and I've got my man you know you know my background in newspapers [TS]
02:32:05 ◼ ► and a lot of my friends still works and we are working on pay walls and ways to make money in newspapers [TS]
02:32:11 ◼ ► and everything files everything newspapers try to make to make money files with subscriptions and pay walls [TS]
02:32:20 ◼ ► and they don't make enough from advertising if it's free and novel I sort of smiled at them [TS]
02:32:29 ◼ ► and you're dying because you're not used to the Internet and I'm now looking at myself in You Tube [TS]
02:32:33 ◼ ► and I'm thinkin outweigh any different. We don't make enough from advertising or subscriptions. [TS]
02:32:42 ◼ ► Maybe maybe maybe the Golden Age is coming to an end and a lot of people are going to start being in trouble. [TS]
02:32:50 ◼ ► I mean Brady we're doing we're doing just fine. We're not in the news. Yeah but the right papers were doing just fine. [TS]
02:32:56 ◼ ► I mean some newspapers are still doing just fine I'm just saying like I know all the things we're talking about now the [TS]
02:33:02 ◼ ► problems that You Tube are about to have are exactly the same problems newspapers are having. [TS]
02:33:11 ◼ ► when it's free we need to we need to introduce subscriptions and then that has failed. [TS]
02:33:16 ◼ ► You Tube of obviously said we're not making enough from advertising. We need to reduce introduce subscriptions. [TS]
02:33:25 ◼ ► Yeah OK but I just I just want to be really clear here there's a big difference between You Tube's business [TS]
02:33:36 ◼ ► I think it's pretty clear that we the video producers are not in trouble. OK Do you disagree with that. [TS]
02:33:48 ◼ ► To you you haven't done it but I have set up the R.S.S. Feed. I have direct support from patron I will have. [TS]
02:34:00 ◼ ► Embedded ads in my R.S.S. Feeds I could I could walk away from You Tube today and be fine. [TS]
02:34:10 ◼ ► And although it would be much more of a hassle for you to do it I think you could do it as well because there are [TS]
02:34:17 ◼ ► Yeah yeah you know and I don't get me wrong it would be like a massive hit in my business. [TS]
02:34:23 ◼ ► But if if something came up with You Tube that I really didn't like this would be doable I don't want to do it [TS]
02:34:31 ◼ ► That's why I did want to make it really clear here I don't feel like a newspaper like oh my business is crumbling down [TS]
02:34:37 ◼ ► It just it just feels like You Tube is in a terrible position with trying to make this subscription thing work [TS]
02:34:45 ◼ ► You Tube's problem is only my problem is in as much as a large section of my audience is on youtube. [TS]
02:34:52 ◼ ► Yeah that's the whole reason why I've been setting myself up so that I am not dependent on You Tube [TS]
02:34:58 ◼ ► and that's what I think that's also why I like Derek a very Taseer had a video about You Tube eating a potato [TS]
02:35:09 ◼ ► and as we discussed last time there are ways that vessel can be profitable with a much smaller audience so I don't [TS]
02:35:15 ◼ ► think that the business of people who make stuff that people on the Internet like is in trouble. [TS]
02:35:32 ◼ ► They're making stuff that people don't really want to watch that isn't super valuable or people don't want to read. [TS]
02:35:41 ◼ ► My wife actually just for fun agreed to have the hotel deliver a newspaper to our room [TS]
02:35:47 ◼ ► and I took a picture of her at one point reading the newspaper because she just had the biggest frown on her face [TS]
02:35:54 ◼ ► and she was going what is this I have to I have to switch over to page sixteen to. [TS]
02:36:00 ◼ ► This story I have to jump all around because there's nothing in the story I thought I was going to learn something [TS]
02:36:12 ◼ ► So the guy of course of course that business is doing terribly because it's terrible. [TS]
02:36:26 ◼ ► Anyway so yeah I think I think if you make stuff that people like on the Internet that there are ways to make that work. [TS]
02:36:34 ◼ ► But you know whatever You Tube is doing with their business you know not this subscription thing may be great [TS]
02:36:42 ◼ ► and it may not be great but it feels really uncertain now as opposed to a vessel which [TS]
02:36:47 ◼ ► when I heard about it I was like Man that's a great idea. It's not for me it's not something I'm going to do. [TS]
02:36:56 ◼ ► and I don't feel that way with the You Tube subscription youtube subscription thing feels like Man I wish I could stay [TS]
02:37:02 ◼ ► out of this to see how it goes but You Tube won't let me. U two billion forced me into it. [TS]
02:37:13 ◼ ► I think I think there is nothing half assed about this coersion that they that they know how to do. [TS]
02:37:25 ◼ ► Hey nice maybe in six months we'll be saying subscriptions to gray and I'll be looking at it on my Apple Watch. [TS]
02:38:05 ◼ ► Yeah I know that I know that my job well then what's the point of telling me you heard me I don't know why I did. [TS]
02:38:11 ◼ ► I'm sorry I have no idea why that has happened. OK I should just kept my mouth shut. [TS]
