Select a time to play from there. The line being spoken is highlighted as the audio plays.

0:00:00I have a bit of a cold can hear it just

0:00:03when you sniffle what kind of culture

0:00:05got I got the good kind

0:00:07I got the kind of don't i don't feel

0:00:08like my whole body doesn't feel sick and

0:00:10I only feel sick from like the neck up

0:00:13I feel like a constipated that's a good

0:00:15girl it's a good called I don't feel I

0:00:17hate a long cold now it's not a long

0:00:19cold it's it's it i feel like my head is

0:00:22a prop in a Nickelodeon TV show

0:00:26uh-huh uh-huh right just take it down

0:00:30from the shelf and snap it around if you

0:00:32stay with code word then this dinner

0:00:34then all the group is gonna is gonna

0:00:35come gushing out

0:00:37oh god that was weird like I seem to

0:00:40like that goop little too much when

0:00:44there's some cute girl over the music

0:00:45career that was on there

0:00:47oh yeah otherwise i wanted some light on

0:00:49that my sister used to watch that show

0:00:52so the and so therefore i used to watch

0:00:54that show because what else are you

0:00:57going to do when someone else in your

0:00:59family with one TV set is watching the

0:01:01show that you don't even enjoy and that

0:01:04you're going to sit there and comment

0:01:05about how you don't enjoy it every

0:01:06single day during a half hour that it's

0:01:08not there is nothing else in the

0:01:09universe you could do during that time

0:01:11then to sit there and complain about it

0:01:14mm it's like a chain together because

0:01:16there's times when you're going to watch

0:01:17your baseball or whatever and she's

0:01:19going to be moaning and so you could

0:01:21always in cause a reaction similar to

0:01:24that when you watch it or as i

0:01:26understand i'm an only child as you know

0:01:28but you can also hit her understand I

0:01:30wish I was an only child

0:01:32mm I you know I never looked back to I

0:01:35gotta tell you the truth there's you

0:01:37know I few things get under my skin the

0:01:39way the phrase just the one gets under

0:01:42my skin

0:01:43I don't know why that bothers bothers me

0:01:44so much but it really really bugs me and

0:01:47and I as an only child my daughter that

0:01:50are my wife is the youngest of seven so

0:01:52she she know that that's close to being

0:01:55an only child

0:01:56it is an injury when you're the youngest

0:01:58you're very you you well I think there's

0:02:00really only one only child in a seven

0:02:01child family that's the oldest they take

0:02:04a thousand pictures that kid they take

0:02:05500 pictures in this connection you can

0:02:07do the math there's one picture of my

0:02:08daughter play something a little bit

0:02:11about it

0:02:11i think is one of her like getting a

0:02:14broken arm set in the garage or

0:02:16something with that perfect i'll be

0:02:19honest i find that stopping over x-ray

0:02:20it just says Madeline 1978 it's rubbed

0:02:27off and just broken wrists but you're

0:02:30doing well you certainly sound you sound

0:02:31great for Sigma now you see my command

0:02:33is not afraid to to tweak his body with

0:02:36the chemicals are indeed we take for

0:02:39that you do a sudafed you go go to the

0:02:40pharmacy now here if we want to get

0:02:42sudafed the real thing

0:02:44the stuff that really works you gotta go

0:02:46I guess its federal do you have to go to

0:02:48the pharmacy and plopped down in july i

0:02:50have honestly given up on legitimate

0:02:52sudafed I don't know that we have any

0:02:55might have some stashed away somewhere

0:02:56where I used to I used to always suffer

0:02:59and and take nothing and then Amy would

0:03:01tell me you're an idiot you're all

0:03:03stuffed up you got to take some sudafed

0:03:04and i would take some sudafed and then I

0:03:06would realize you know this is a there's

0:03:08a there's a medicine that actually does

0:03:11what it's supposed to do but it really

0:03:15isit's yeah i know you you've used one

0:03:18of your recurring bit but the way you

0:03:20know the the the but hoops you have to

0:03:22jump through now to buy sudafed united

0:03:24states are so absurd that it i realized

0:03:26i was a bit i polished not even a bit

0:03:27but it's it's a very frustrating

0:03:30yeah because it's you know it's

0:03:31something that actually worked it worked

0:03:34as you know people people used to walk

0:03:36in there in the days when I would enjoy

0:03:38faedron it used to be you could walk in

0:03:40there the ephedrine that I used to get

0:03:42the really good stuff the unadulterated

0:03:43unadulterated stuff that i would buy for

0:03:45band practice in the eighties you get a

0:03:47bottle of like think 50 for three

0:03:50dollars American seeing a malt liquor

0:03:52and fifty ephedrine for less than five

0:03:54bucks so you know that's right company

0:03:57so people go in there and these these

0:03:58low-level doofuses would go in and steal

0:04:01packages and packages sudafed and then I

0:04:03guess make a small amount of my theory

0:04:06on this is that it is to stop illegal

0:04:08drug production i believe but you know

0:04:10you watch more movies I don't think

0:04:12that's how you do it you want to

0:04:13lufthansa level heights you're not gonna

0:04:15go to walgreens for times like you're

0:04:16going to think bigger

0:04:17I think you have hijacked a truck you'll

0:04:19stick something in your gang jacket and

0:04:21walk out yeah I don't understand why it

0:04:23can't just be a

0:04:25using a ball limit you know that you

0:04:27could buy 10 24 capsules in a single

0:04:31transaction at the counter because if

0:04:34you if you know Phyllis some kind of

0:04:35reasonable limit like that then how

0:04:36would you possibly a mass large-scale

0:04:39amounts of this stuff wouldn't be worth

0:04:40it i mean you definitely you know what

0:04:42if you just hop around town to every

0:04:43single walgreens that you would get you

0:04:47know picking up 24 at a time that dead

0:04:49but by the end of the day you'd end up

0:04:51with don't know you know hundred and

0:04:53forty capsules give a sense of how much

0:04:55meth you could make on a day like that i

0:04:56don't know i don't know i'm guessing not

0:04:58like a lot even if you have a bathtub

0:05:00and the right chemicals i bet you can't

0:05:02make a time math with that much cold

0:05:04medicine yeah I just don't get it i feel

0:05:05like it's over reaction and I've i never

0:05:08i personally have never and enjoyed

0:05:10sudafed and I i guess i feel that way

0:05:12about a lot of former college illogical

0:05:16you let go in the other direction

0:05:18yeah I like you like something that

0:05:20comes with fellow yeah exactly exactly

0:05:22what i don't need is we have cold like

0:05:24this i don't i don't need anything

0:05:26soon you don't you ever do the theraflu

0:05:29I've tried crap like that never does

0:05:32anything em they're flowing imodium and

0:05:34that's what keeps this country running

0:05:36hey I would get so much less

0:05:40accomplished in the aggregate without

0:05:42this two things i'm not saying take them

0:05:44at once unless you're gonna drink a lot

0:05:45of water but it's nice you know it's

0:05:47like Nietzsche says it's nice to know

0:05:48it's there

0:05:50the motive is is I was one of the best

0:05:53named best put a name they came up with

0:05:56the mode foot

0:05:58what would you have called it I don't

0:05:59know but somehow it connotes what it

0:06:01does without being gross and you know

0:06:03that that's you know that that's what

0:06:05the meeting was that somebody at the

0:06:07meeting they they said look we're

0:06:08nobody's getting up from this table

0:06:10until we come up with a name for this

0:06:11thing right we know it works reasonably

0:06:14happens to show networks it

0:06:17yeah the the pointy headed guy from the

0:06:20lab is like well it has to end with a

0:06:21modem it has to end with odium for legal

0:06:23reasons and yeah but what people get a

0:06:25sense that it works immediately

0:06:28wait a minute well let's go to the

0:06:30whiteboard immediate code and I got no

0:06:34impacted

0:06:36sure sure everything is a modem is like

0:06:40be really went beer in mobile you'll eat

0:06:42you pay for imodium a couple days later

0:06:44I don't want the real your show but just

0:06:46so you know if you take a lot of imodium

0:06:48like a therapeutic dose it doesn't mean

0:06:51it goes away

0:06:52you know what i mean it's it's like

0:06:54you're basically you're sweeping that

0:06:56detris under the rug and that rug will

0:06:58eventually get full probably kind of

0:07:00gross i'm also i also would like to find

0:07:03out what you really show but i would

0:07:04like to thank you also for first of all

0:07:05making me really want what's the name of

0:07:08that drink

0:07:09Henry box Brown oh my god that sounds so

0:07:12good and also I'm just very grateful

0:07:16that you have taught me about the

0:07:18existence of mr. Henry box Brown always

0:07:20another great story isn't it was an

0:07:22urban myth and I can't believe that's

0:07:23real

0:07:24there's a couple of mean I could go on

0:07:26and on and on about Hopsin under mat and

0:07:28someday like I want to come to

0:07:29Philadelphia just to go to someday I

0:07:31want to I you know you're on you're the

0:07:33guy who I know if I could get you in the

0:07:36right mood you would love it but you're

0:07:37the one friend of mine who I worry that

0:07:40that maybe you wouldn't is a fan is it

0:07:44like talking about your drink guy rolled

0:07:45up sleeves don't know you but but but

0:07:47you you you might worry that it is when

0:07:50you get there you might think all this

0:07:52is going to be one of those places but

0:07:53it's not i think if i get a couple box

0:07:55Browns under my belt i'm going to help

0:07:56right right one of the things is and and

0:07:59and you're going to use you hear this

0:08:01and i know you're going to worry that

0:08:02the place odds that place there's ok

0:08:04there's no signage there's no marking on

0:08:06the outside that says this is Hopsin

0:08:08line no Matt and in fact it's in a

0:08:10stretch of Chinatown here in

0:08:11Philadelphia is on the side of the

0:08:13street where it you really wouldn't

0:08:14think there's any open retail

0:08:15establishments on that street on the

0:08:17other side of the street there's a

0:08:18couple of nice chinese restaurants but

0:08:21on this side of the street it looks like

0:08:23everything's closed including the

0:08:25building where Hopsin yes and there's

0:08:27just a little love

0:08:28there's a like metal gate in front of

0:08:30the door and a little buzzer to ring the

0:08:32buzzer and maybe the guy comes out maybe

0:08:35nobody comes out and you just stand

0:08:37there in your weight and eventually

0:08:38somebody comes out and if there is any

0:08:42room available they will let you in and

0:08:44if there is no room available they will

0:08:45tell you

0:08:47then you'll have to wait because they

0:08:50don't want anybody it's a type of place

0:08:51and I appreciate this is some more like

0:08:53you're almost like a restaurant where

0:08:54you're not allowed to just stand around

0:08:56either have a seat at the bar or you

0:08:58have a table or you're not inside yet

0:09:01they have a little auntie room for you

0:09:04come in and and lead the owner you will

0:09:09explain the rules of the place to the

0:09:10antechamber the entire floor is paved

0:09:13with tails up pennies from corner to

0:09:18corner

0:09:19well except there's two or three of them

0:09:22their heads up if you look closely it's

0:09:25beautiful though it's really really have

0:09:27a they have rules and apparently they

0:09:29have is it accurate they have a dress

0:09:30code they do have a dress code

0:09:32just like the number one Google searches

0:09:34like four hops along the address

0:09:35definitely a dress code you cannot you

0:09:37can't get in there with shorts not

0:09:39really a problem at this time of year

0:09:40but no shorts no flip-flops gotta look

0:09:44like an adult that should that should

0:09:46just be a rule everywhere i think is

0:09:48sneakers might be a problem

0:09:50i I'm not sure so that might be the one

0:09:54thing that I in John just what I will I

0:09:57will make it work

0:09:58I'm gonna come here just for that I will

0:09:59make it work because this and it's the

0:10:01key to this is the than if i meet you

0:10:04want maybe you want to tell your

0:10:05audience with this is it sounds like a

0:10:07very deceptively simple drought that has

0:10:10a couple of important well I'll tell you

0:10:11the first time I had the first time I

0:10:13had it I've been intrigued by hop sing

0:10:14ever since I heard about it and it was

0:10:16supposed to open

0:10:17I don't know your and a half ago or

0:10:18something like that and i had my eye on

0:10:20it and kept checking a couple of the was

0:10:23like the only thing that made me check

0:10:24the Philadelphia food blogs and stuff

0:10:27like that and it never seen you know and

0:10:30I'd go past it and look and of course

0:10:32and even now it doesn't really look like

0:10:33it's open but there was never any spread

0:10:35sign that the thing was ever getting

0:10:37closer to opening and then about a year

0:10:42ago it was supposed to open right after

0:10:45like new years you know 11 months ago or

0:10:48whatever it was it was getting rumored

0:10:50that it was going to be was going to

0:10:51open soon and the word was that if you

0:10:54don't follow him on Twitter that you can

0:10:57maybe get invited in early so I just all

0:10:58I did was follow the guy and and I don't

0:11:02know week or two later I got like a I

0:11:05don't know there's a gnat reply or DM or

0:11:06something but it was you know you if you

0:11:08want to come in for a tasting we're

0:11:09having a tasting invitation-only tasting

0:11:12tuesday night you want to come in and I

0:11:14was like yeah of course although i had

0:11:17no you know what actually I could just

0:11:20go on and on with this guy that is so

0:11:22great

0:11:23actually what he did was that before i

0:11:25got invited to the tasting he invited me

0:11:27and Amy to come in one afternoon just to

0:11:29see the place that's right I said I

0:11:31didn't get a drink the first time I went

0:11:33in

0:11:33so Amy and I come over it's like a

0:11:36Tuesday afternoon and Jonas stone school

0:11:38and he lets us in were you hoping just

0:11:44curiosity when you went there all

0:11:46Genesis at school we kind of hoping to

0:11:48get a drink now I because I didn't think

0:11:51it was even legal because i don't think

0:11:52that it was you know I mean they're just

0:11:54like a lot of Licensing type situation

0:11:57not that you can't you know

0:11:58pour one out you know on this like to

0:12:00see had one before you write but we go

0:12:01in and we come in the main room and it

0:12:04really is it's just a beautiful it's

0:12:06just beautiful I can't do any justice to

0:12:08I mean there's a couple of photographs

0:12:09that are out there of the room but it

0:12:11really is just a beautiful place and he

0:12:12was showing us some of the stuff but the

0:12:14whole time

0:12:15there's a guy sitting at a table in the

0:12:17middle of the room a young guy maybe at

0:12:1922 23 and and then offhandedly we have

0:12:23no what we have no idea who he is he's

0:12:24just sitting there like sort of very

0:12:26straight back in about five minutes in

0:12:28li lets us know that this guy was in

0:12:30here he's in here interviewing for a job

0:12:32as a bartender and in the meantime

0:12:34Natalie isn't paying any attention to

0:12:36him and he apparently abandoned the

0:12:38interview halfway to give me any of this

0:12:40tour of the place and I think it was a

0:12:44total fight club situation where he was

0:12:46testing the guy you know like what are

0:12:49you going to do if i stop this job

0:12:50interview halfway through to give these

0:12:53other two people a tour of of the bar

0:12:55and none of us acknowledge you for 30

0:12:57minutes

0:12:58it's a kind of an employment hazing yeah

0:13:00i think so let's see let's see if you're

0:13:02gonna make it here Johnny right that's

0:13:04good

0:13:04but you know one of the things that hit

0:13:06me right and struck me right away on

0:13:07that even on that tour is that he really

0:13:09does have the most extraordinary

0:13:12selection of liquor I've ever seen in my

0:13:15entire life in terms of Bourbons and the

0:13:19stuff that i like it then and can judge

0:13:21that the quality of the collection I

0:13:23mean it's really is sort of a uh I don't

0:13:25know like a Stephen King type story

0:13:27where he's he's pulled some of this

0:13:29stuff from another universe you know

0:13:31like all sorts of stuff I've ever i've

0:13:33never even heard of over here for roses

0:13:34bourbon pretty good on ya ya i get

0:13:39confused because there's a there's a

0:13:40there's a bomb wine with roses and I no

0:13:42no there were differences you know for

0:13:44roses is pretty good and I think its

0:13:46general runnin around 30-35 dollars

0:13:48really good stuff and then there's

0:13:50somebody sent me a bottle of that once

0:13:51it was true yeah it's really good and

0:13:53then there's a four roses something

0:13:55something maybe I have four roses select

0:13:57or something like that which i have seen

0:13:58as well and I think it's maybe like ten

0:14:00dollars more

0:14:01he has four different for roses bourbon

0:14:05he's got four roses the four roses other

0:14:07thing that I've heard and he's got these

0:14:08other two that I like where do you get

0:14:11how do you even get that how do you how

0:14:12do you get that at right it just right

0:14:14down the line with all of you know all

0:14:16your favorite distillers he's just got a

0:14:18black maple hill which is really good

0:14:21stuff but then he's got black maple hill

0:14:23black label which died

0:14:25you can't get it I don't even know where

0:14:26did it's like he made it up it's like

0:14:28he's got this one bottle of black maple

0:14:29hill Black Label bourbon so I was super

0:14:32super impressed

0:14:33long story short a week or two later I

0:14:35get invited to a tasting at places and

0:14:36open yet and the way the tasting went is

0:14:40it was I don't know seven or eight of us

0:14:42and we don't get to pick anything he

0:14:45said here this is your first strength

0:14:46and we know and and you know you tell me

0:14:52what you think about what do you think

0:14:53it is and I can tell right away it was

0:14:55sort of like a screwdriver it was gonna

0:14:57definitely orange juice that I could

0:15:00only guess because of the lack of any

0:15:02other strong taste that it was vodka but

0:15:04there was like a frothy nasaan top i had

0:15:05no idea what he added and ends up nope

0:15:09it's just a screwdriver just a just

0:15:12fresh extracted is testing fresh

0:15:15extracted orange juice

0:15:17and an ultimate UL matv vodka but

0:15:24because it was fresh extracted juice it

0:15:26like had this frothiness to it that was

0:15:28amazing and then the next drink he gave

0:15:29me was the Henry box Brown which is

0:15:32fresh extracted red grape juice and

0:15:36eldorado 15 you're aged rum but here's

0:15:39the thing he gave me that drink and so

0:15:41what you know what do you do anything

0:15:42number one I loved it it was just

0:15:44unbelievable it's just unbelievable

0:15:46drink it's it's so refreshing but it's

0:15:49also clearly like a very very very busy

0:15:52drink but I had no idea what was in it

0:15:54I had no idea i couldn't tell it was

0:15:56grape juice I couldn't tell that it was

0:15:58wrong i was like guys that like I was

0:16:01like I I don't know

0:16:03and because I've never heard of that

0:16:05I've never in my life heard of anybody

0:16:06mixing grape juice and rum and in fact

0:16:08that's all there is in the drink you

0:16:11know you hear rum and you think stuff

0:16:13like you know you think tiki drinks hero

0:16:15pineapple i think i think it's like a

0:16:17headache like I can't drink a lot of rum

0:16:18well-run get I don't enjoy it like the

0:16:21way I enjoy purpose yeah well and rum

0:16:23I've done what I know I don't have I

0:16:25note that symbol full about room

0:16:27compared to want to know about bourbon

0:16:28but one of the problems with rum is that

0:16:30unlike a lot of other liquor around the

0:16:32world there's it's unregulated so like

0:16:34there's a lot you can't call something

0:16:35mean you can't just get together with

0:16:37some some stuff and make something call

0:16:39it bourbon burger champagne champagne

0:16:41exactly exactly like champagne it's very

0:16:43highly regulated you have to i think

0:16:45even it's so regulated you have to make

0:16:47bourbon and tennessee I don't think you

0:16:49can even call apartment didn't come out

0:16:50of Tennessee something i don't know but

0:16:54it's really ended on the percentage of

0:16:56of wheat vs corn it has to be in the

0:16:59certain you know very narrow range you

0:17:04know it's like--there's like truly like

0:17:06a legal legal definition of the

0:17:07difference between bourbon and rye

0:17:09etcetera etcetera but there's no such

0:17:11regulations around rum you can make

0:17:13anything that you know anything and you

0:17:14can make a map bathtub around exactly

0:17:16and you can just call it from which is

0:17:18why drum tends to you know exactly why

0:17:20people associated with headaches so it

0:17:22could be there's a and Plus on my ass

0:17:24but it could be the kind of impurities

0:17:27and that have been introduced going to a

0:17:29lack of right

0:17:30place exactly i didn't anyone in generic

0:17:32drugs and I think you know us suffers

0:17:33similarly from from you know that the

0:17:36low-end stuff is truly the double now

0:17:39that I'm a tequila guy so notice the

0:17:41difference it's a huge difference and it

0:17:43just gives the whole it gives the whole

0:17:44liquor a bad name though right because

0:17:47you know a really good tequila is is no

0:17:49reason to be concerned about like you

0:17:52know but I'm like bourbon the difference

0:17:54between a medium good tequila and a bad

0:17:57tequila is huge

0:17:59oh yeah I mean it's really it's crazy

0:18:01like I get so I forget what i get i

0:18:03usually drunk getting it but the now

0:18:05I'll get like I get the I like a white

0:18:07you know I can make this thing they call

0:18:08the paleo cocktail this is the i don't

0:18:10ever made you drink one of these no I

0:18:12don't let it set on dude it's tequila

0:18:14lime juice and soda stream I don't know

0:18:17I've had one of those

0:18:18yeah oh I don't know your client had a

0:18:20name for it that well you know that's

0:18:21what they call it but it's it's the

0:18:24perfect drink it's it's so refreshing

0:18:26and you can make one about seven seconds

0:18:27which is nice but but you know the thing

0:18:30is I i use the Blanco right now and

0:18:33minify if I'm forgot to go to the bodega

0:18:35and get the jose cuervo gold it's like

0:18:37oh this is like you know Jimmy Buffett

0:18:40you like urinated and I've steel pot or

0:18:42something i don't i just don't care what

0:18:44your ratio what it would do what do you

0:18:45want your measurements are publicly or

0:18:47privately or publicly just put a little

0:18:50bit little bit of the cue on yeah well

0:18:54it's not what I do is I put it I put it

0:18:56in until I think that's just a little

0:18:57bit too much and that's what I know it's

0:18:58good so you don't and then I don't

0:18:59measure measure it now

0:19:02eyeballing you know my poli you make

0:19:04sure your tattoos measurement drinks I

0:19:05even measure my martinis

0:19:07I'm gonna tell my wife that i'm going to

0:19:08go out after our program your program

0:19:10and I'm gonna go get fucking fun we have

0:19:12a pretty good not too annoying wine and

0:19:16liquor store that I that has stuff like

0:19:18a bet they got this El Dorado you can

0:19:19make this at home in my name is a fool's

0:19:21errand I what you have a grape juice

0:19:23about the grape juices the heart yeah

0:19:24because he's got this fancy extractor

0:19:26behind there it sits down but Marco has

0:19:29you don't really like that many as I ps3

0:19:32and rights to that he doesn't like if

0:19:33Marco has a juice extractor he's got the

0:19:35one that that Lee has a top Singh it's

0:19:37like you know it looks like it works

0:19:39pretty fast in stainless steel channel

0:19:41and i found i fell to the world

0:19:43difficult to clean it looks like it's

0:19:45easy to clean so that if me and you were

0:19:48both bartending there and I'm making one

0:19:50with the grape and you're waiting for me

0:19:52because you've got to make a one with

0:19:53that oranges next that it's easy to

0:19:56clean

0:19:57you know it just looks like the the best

0:19:59juice extractor so I don't know but

0:20:02apparently people have said that you can

0:20:04just muddle the grapes in in a mixing

0:20:07thing I mean it's probably not quite as

0:20:09good but i'm sure you get pretty close

0:20:11to you know pretty close

0:20:14I'm going to measure this one that

0:20:15sounds fantastic ah but I like i said

0:20:18this thing ever i I've had some good rum

0:20:21drinks over the years you know that I've

0:20:23enjoyed it you know like at the disney

0:20:25Holly what's at the Polynesian then

0:20:28we're I'm sure you put still there the

0:20:30pollination still there yeah you know

0:20:31you're gonna make a run drink and pour

0:20:33it into a carved out pineapple or

0:20:34something like that but that's what I

0:20:35associate with rum drinks you don't

0:20:37think great

0:20:37ya know it's just crazy it's the

0:20:39craziest combination and it's it's just

0:20:41the best string it's it is you know me i

0:20:44do i love the Bourbon i love the

0:20:45martinis I'm telling you though if I

0:20:47found out on a desert island that the

0:20:49only booze I could have the rest of my

0:20:50life for Henry box Brown I'd be I'd be

0:20:52fine i might try well i think that you

0:20:54know of the numerous things I like to

0:20:56think that we have in common I think our

0:20:57liquor preferences are pretty close

0:21:00well and also scott simpson he just

0:21:02drinks a lot more well it's not it's not

0:21:05a problem he's got another configures

0:21:06the other thing i love about the Henry

0:21:07box Brown when telling people trying to

0:21:09explain my love of Hopsin is that you

0:21:12get in there and you're Luke you're

0:21:13going to be worried i know i was worried

0:21:15I was worried my life that I was setting

0:21:16myself up just like yeah you're right to

0:21:18be worried because like I'm on board i'm

0:21:20still on 42 pics square ice cubes

0:21:22I they're not you know what I think the

0:21:25I do not joke that this jokey sighs I

0:21:27sku no no they're you know they're big

0:21:31cubes but they're not one big cube but

0:21:33your but there are definitely red flags

0:21:35it if you went into these places and i'm

0:21:37not going to talk about a million times

0:21:38but like these places you go to in san

0:21:40francisco in la that are like the

0:21:42Haunted Mansion you know you go in and

0:21:44it's real silly and it like a Tom Waits

0:21:46song everybody super serious nono

0:21:48sulfones load you know or like how you

0:21:51have to like a type of request on the

0:21:53typewriter before we let you know

0:21:55okay I get it you know but this this

0:21:58sounds like a terrific place and the

0:21:59thing is the proof is in the pudding if

0:22:01you can get in there and get a drink and

0:22:03enjoy it then it's a good place right so

0:22:05stop saying i think is very reasonable

0:22:07cellphone rules you are allowed to use

0:22:10your phone but you are not let it make a

0:22:12phone call

0:22:13this is for the enjoyment of your

0:22:14patrons surrounding you and you are not

0:22:16allowed to take photographs and this is

0:22:18for the privacy of all the people who

0:22:20are in there

0:22:21no I think that's a reasonable rule that

0:22:23if you're in there too if you're in

0:22:25there you can you can rest assured that

0:22:27your photograph is not going to be taken

0:22:28so you can well this is probably better

0:22:31safer for a different program but if you

0:22:33can just capture this i think at some

0:22:35point you and I should take our big

0:22:36podcast money and come up with a place

0:22:39that will have yes be awesome drinks but

0:22:41a will have the most exhaustive and

0:22:44inscrutable set of rules in a place has

0:22:47ever had and it's extremely difficult to

0:22:49find maybe it's got three doors and

0:22:50sometimes they're locked but I think I

0:22:52don't get all your texts today but i

0:22:54think we could make a lot of dell in

0:22:56either of our cities by having a place

0:22:58that's extremely different difficult to

0:22:59understand maybe any which you might be

0:23:01thrown out at any point for reasons it

0:23:02would be a lot like like a mouse had a

0:23:04bar want to be stuff happening that you

0:23:06just would be very very hard to

0:23:07understand maybe it's open in both

0:23:09cities but it's technically an

0:23:12alternative technically one

0:23:14establishment so it's never over on the

0:23:16same day we found a loophole that allows

0:23:18us to have one liquor license for the

0:23:20entire place and maybe it shuts down

0:23:22maybe you get maybe you know you get two

0:23:24hours there i get two hours here we

0:23:26threw everybody out and there's a

0:23:28different password when you come it's

0:23:29always going places

0:23:30the schedule is always different we

0:23:32think it's written man it just says I

0:23:35give you just show up on friday night at

0:23:37whatever Street in San Francisco it says

0:23:39we're sorry we're open to Philadelphia

0:23:40right maybe get to solve a Sudoku to get

0:23:43it

0:23:44I don't know but I mean you want to keep

0:23:46it you want to keep it i think these uh

0:23:48look at people go to these places they

0:23:50really enjoy that level of theatricality

0:23:53else can ask you one more question and

0:23:56then I have a feeling of the answer if

0:23:58you tried eagle rare

0:24:03I was going to say no doubt i think he

0:24:05probably won't remember i may not

0:24:07remember no it's ringing about the eagle

0:24:08rare career is one of those ones where

0:24:11there are definitely click that they

0:24:14have an eagle rare gonna get this right

0:24:16i think their standard one I want to say

0:24:18is is 10 years and its really really

0:24:21good and then they have another 1i want

0:24:24to get this right for posterity there's

0:24:26another one that is more costly and

0:24:28longer aged and it's it's just one of

0:24:32the best things I've ever had in my life

0:24:34I bad and I don't know where I'm looking

0:24:36at the bottle now and now that i see

0:24:38there's only one of those ones that you

0:24:39want to probably just enjoy you know

0:24:41with a little little bit of rocks

0:24:43I mean it's it or or not it's really

0:24:46good

0:24:46yeah i have not had do not have it in

0:24:48the house I've never purchase it but i

0:24:50know that i've had this somewhere can't

0:24:52remember where though one night we had

0:24:55to record you look nice today so I

0:24:56needed something to drink and I grabbed

0:24:58the first thing that we had at home had

0:25:00a bottle of which is the seagull rare

0:25:03that the fancy 117 I see this they have

0:25:05David end there's a standard and then

0:25:07they have a 17 when I would have seen

0:25:09that was a pretty hot

0:25:11see ya there's always another level

0:25:12right so you get deeper and deeper into

0:25:14that place over parts of the Caribbean

0:25:16or whatever you get fancier room but you

0:25:20know is a silly story but I I grabbed it

0:25:22and brought it to work I thought hey

0:25:23this is cool because it had been a gift

0:25:25that actually mean I had given to mad

0:25:27for like doing a little favor for her

0:25:28and she said only thing is i can get a

0:25:30bottle something I'm i crack it and

0:25:32brought it to work and started started

0:25:35making a variation on this is no this is

0:25:37blasphemy i know but i guess its bourbon

0:25:41right it's bourbon with some lime and I

0:25:43covered up with some muscle streams very

0:25:45similar to the to the tequila drink and

0:25:48I got about three quarters of the way

0:25:49into this and i happen to mention

0:25:52Simpson that I was drinking that he said

0:25:53he was drinking some to its own

0:25:55traditional that's fifty dollars but I

0:25:59was like I I was so embarrassed but

0:26:01luckily I was so intoxicated that it

0:26:03didn't stick with me so that I got

0:26:04another one to replace it for her

0:26:06because I'm a gentleman and then I drank

0:26:08that one too but if you can get that

0:26:10stuff you don't know if you wanna get a

0:26:11pop singer but if you don't have

0:26:12something something wrong with your lady

0:26:13after-hours it's it's it's real good now

0:26:16and

0:26:16no why I'm familiar with its from its

0:26:20from the Buffalo Trace people

0:26:22ok number would remember we didn't

0:26:24newzealand to the mouth of the trickiest

0:26:26oh my god is that we ran the amount of

0:26:28liquor you know zealand they don't did

0:26:31you know they don't know what the Wi-Fi

0:26:32there they get they get like Hayes modem

0:26:34style Wi-Fi for four hundred dollars a

0:26:36day right you want to buy you want to

0:26:39buy a coffee it takes 35 minutes and

0:26:41costs one of the healing money is it in

0:26:44they do not have a lot of bourbon as we

0:26:47discover well it did that was

0:26:48embarrassed this story is that we never

0:26:51there for web stock 221 guys they work

0:26:53with the bartender's you ever used it so

0:26:58love you so we're at i forget the name

0:27:00of what's the name of the hook the hip

0:27:02hippopotamus identical to the

0:27:03hippocampus yet papa bottomless bar at

0:27:06the at the hotel where everybody who was

0:27:08a speaker web stock was and we were all

0:27:10there on the first day we're all deeply

0:27:14deeply jet lag because she notes it's

0:27:18like the you know couldn't be more

0:27:19jetlite is a 15-hour flight for I mean

0:27:22you had you had Philadelphia San

0:27:24Francisco and probably flew together but

0:27:26you have Philadelphia San Francisco and

0:27:28San Francisco and New Zealand how long

0:27:29was that it had to have been 20 hours

0:27:31yeah but we had like a weird I God for

0:27:34for like five hour layover you get a

0:27:36hotel and we got a hotel room and fell

0:27:37asleep for three hours which was the

0:27:38smartest thing that was like the best

0:27:40hundred and fifty bucks I ever spent was

0:27:42the hundred and fifty bucks to get a

0:27:44hotel room for two hours and 43 hours

0:27:47and and sleep a little bit between the

0:27:49flights

0:27:49well worth it but anyway we get there

0:27:52and and we get up to the hotel bar and

0:27:55it's afternoon it was I don't like 4-430

0:27:57and everybody's sort of meeting each

0:27:59other and find out that the hotel bar

0:28:01and like every month they had a special

0:28:03cocktail and this month's special

0:28:05cocktail was the Bourbon old-fashioned

0:28:07and we were like what how where the

0:28:10we've seemed to book the right hotel and

0:28:13like three days later this bartender who

0:28:16is awesome he had this real theater

0:28:18member the way he Houston would when he

0:28:21would take the key is almost like a cast

0:28:22member yeah i mean he was he was very

0:28:24energetic and very fun and in like not

0:28:27teasing but you know any remember he was

0:28:29just he was really can get

0:28:30age then it was fun to give him

0:28:31something like seventeen dollars per

0:28:33train ride was really it was a fun he

0:28:34wasn't costly it's pretty clueless happy

0:28:37and you know it was like a free I you

0:28:39know it's one of those things where

0:28:39their dollars or whatever they call the

0:28:41things are so close to ours but not

0:28:43quite that it it threw me off where you

0:28:45yes like 1.1 birds to a box right it

0:28:48would be like you know an $18 drink and

0:28:50I think one way to second with the

0:28:52conversion does that mean it really jump

0:28:54into 20 some dollars or does that mean

0:28:56I'm anything but i do that with time and

0:28:59money i calculate the opposite with that

0:29:02I you know and they had options that you

0:29:04can make it with this if you want to

0:29:05there's like a whole page like the in

0:29:07the cocktail menu one whole page was

0:29:09specifically for the old-fashioned and

0:29:11they had all these other options you

0:29:12could do but Houston had a real nice way

0:29:14of taking a grapefruit peel that was

0:29:17what he was putting him and then he

0:29:18would he would twist it and light a

0:29:20match and sort of a you know explode the

0:29:24understand what that is in a citrus than

0:29:28that is not a Ryan but the the run you

0:29:31know this list the twist thing yeah and

0:29:32somehow if you do it at the referee time

0:29:34it right when you squeeze it and light a

0:29:36match you can make it a flame bursts out

0:29:38and it's sort of you know put like a

0:29:40smoky hint to the rind is he as he

0:29:43garnishes your drink and anyway with

0:29:45into his it was a welcome very sorry but

0:29:48we're all out of Buffalo Trace bourbon

0:29:50and then I was like I will outtake and

0:29:53it is like well in fact we're all out of

0:29:55bourbon

0:29:56haha head and he was so apologize but

0:30:00this is like a read the thing is that

0:30:02you have to understand that this is you

0:30:03know this is a real bar

0:30:05this isn't like something that's been

0:30:06slapped onto a marian wright hot wings

0:30:09this is like I'm not a nice bar with a

0:30:11nice restaurant at night if you check up

0:30:13on the fourth floor had a real nice view

0:30:15I think it wasn't the kind of place that

0:30:16goes oh we forgot to order bourbon

0:30:18something it was bourbon modest-sized it

0:30:20was a seismic event in the Bourbon world

0:30:23of this pit was bourbon month and i

0:30:25believe that what we ended up doing

0:30:28I think that was the urban but i think

0:30:30they still had jack daniels and so we

0:30:32ended up letting to make this old

0:30:34fashioned out of jack daniel's which is

0:30:35sort of

0:30:36you know at that poor form but and then

0:30:40he was very apologetic about it but it

0:30:43was amazing will try that eagle rare and

0:30:45I've already made a list you got me to

0:30:46do this stop here and I'm gonna I'm

0:30:48gonna get the the mayor are around from

0:30:52guy Jana called fifteen-year-old

0:30:54eldorado okay that sounds good and you

0:30:58want red grape something and red car

0:31:00anyway though it bottom line though is

0:31:01that here's the thing you think the

0:31:02place is really fussy and here's the

0:31:03thing Amy and I have this end there's a

0:31:05whole bunch of other places in town in

0:31:06philly that are like this i know i've

0:31:08been to the department and branch out in

0:31:10San Francisco and a lot of these

0:31:13cocktail page number one they dress the

0:31:15bartender's up old-timey stop they don't

0:31:16do that Hopsin everybody just wears a

0:31:18white shirt and black tie that's it

0:31:19there's no old-timey this to it you look

0:31:21it's more like a reservoir dogs look

0:31:23without the jacket every you know you

0:31:24look you know everybody looks the same

0:31:25you can tell who works here but you're

0:31:26not

0:31:27there's no faking old-timey nobody has a

0:31:28mustache but here's the thing all the

0:31:32drinks a lot of these craft cocktail

0:31:34places are sound really really good

0:31:36until you get to the last thing and then

0:31:38it's like why would you put that a drink

0:31:40and then it's I think you're supposed to

0:31:42be like the fact that you can get it

0:31:45down makes you better than other people

0:31:46because there's you know you know a

0:31:49little bit of a extracted dog turd in

0:31:52there exactly like we know where we're

0:31:54know where no Albert when a soul brother

0:31:56when it comes to drinks but but but just

0:31:58from my you know semi-pro drinking I I

0:32:03it does strike me that sometimes it is a

0:32:05lot like a place that wants to be a

0:32:07fancy food place now this works you're

0:32:10in french laundry here on your senses

0:32:12yeah I go there every time for real no

0:32:14oh well French Laundry found it is

0:32:18stable at the corn is that the Thomas

0:32:21Thomas Keller price that's was like the

0:32:22best restaurant in America two years and

0:32:24around it's it's it's an event to go

0:32:25arguably maybe possibly you could argue

0:32:29the best restaurant or remember when

0:32:30jason and meg likes saved other change

0:32:33for a year to go there i mean it's

0:32:35really but it's really amazing and you

0:32:36go in there and its first bought this

0:32:38isn't even want to talk about itunes but

0:32:40it was a it is completely event dining

0:32:43and they do something that almost nobody

0:32:44else does well which is cute

0:32:46they do cute really well not cute you

0:32:48know too clever by half

0:32:50they pull it off here let me bring you

0:32:52these this p naught and gel II said

0:32:56which and it's all just like silly puns

0:32:58on something that but you know but the

0:33:00peanuts are made out of you know artists

0:33:02a lamb or something anyway and but it

0:33:04works but it strikes me that a lot of

0:33:05these places trying to do that

0:33:06especially in a tourist area they can

0:33:08make a fancy if they would you call it

0:33:10desiccated doctor like you had something

0:33:11to it that is like the wrong ingredient

0:33:13all that sounds fancy we've taken

0:33:15something really mundane like you know

0:33:17like a lamb shank got one of the worst

0:33:20lamb shanks I ever had was at

0:33:21Disneyworld you get a lamb shank which

0:33:23is the most disappointing part of a lamb

0:33:25apart from maybe the horns and the song

0:33:26it's even like no like the butcher's

0:33:28trying to warn you with the word shank

0:33:29shank shank screams right let me know

0:33:33it's anyway I want the railing but you

0:33:35know I but i agree with you and if you

0:33:37in there are places this kind of soup

0:33:39nazi sorts of places where once you know

0:33:40how to go there it may become it becomes

0:33:45even like a point of pride like you can

0:33:46go there and you know that it's casual

0:33:48like you don't mean like now you're not

0:33:50going to be scrutinized as much because

0:33:53you're a regular right you know you know

0:33:55how it goes you know you're not gonna

0:33:56show up in teva's right well if the

0:33:59thing is is that to me and it goes with

0:34:01everything whether its food whether it's

0:34:03drinks whether it's picking a font or

0:34:04something like that sometimes the best

0:34:06thing to do is is not going to win you

0:34:08any accolades for being a genius or

0:34:10being clever but it's just the right

0:34:12thing to do and you should be humble

0:34:14enough to just do it sometimes so for

0:34:16example here's a drink where the right

0:34:17thing to do is just it's just grape

0:34:19juice and rum and it's shaken and it's

0:34:22cold and it's yeah good and that's it

0:34:24and there's no right this there's no you

0:34:27know an elderberry flower topped on it

0:34:29are you know what yeah it's like that

0:34:31that movie I didn't finish watching

0:34:33about the 10 dreams of sushi or whatever

0:34:36about the guy that makes the best sushi

0:34:38in the world or whatever and you know I

0:34:40thought it was it could have been on one

0:34:41in our documentary i think but it was

0:34:43still good still interesting because all

0:34:44this guy does douchey but what is the

0:34:46what he puts what he and his family and

0:34:48the people who work at this tense eat

0:34:50sushi bar put into it is astonishing

0:34:53I mean you know it but it is still he's

0:34:55I say he's buying the same tune that's

0:34:57not entirely accurate but everything he

0:34:59does is comes back to our old thing

0:35:01about you know

0:35:02taste you know in class and

0:35:04decision-making and what you don't do

0:35:06and he has chosen to do this thing for

0:35:08whatever 50 years and he does it better

0:35:11than anybody and people pay three

0:35:12hundred dollars for a 15 minute meal at

0:35:14this place it's like a 10-course sushi

0:35:16meal in 15 minutes but everybody who

0:35:18goes there are people going over and

0:35:19over people from Japan who know sushi

0:35:22food critics they're like this is no

0:35:24other me like this in the world but it's

0:35:25he's just making sushi I could go here

0:35:27and insult and my neighborhoods obsolete

0:35:29scott simpson had Tony it's all Chinese

0:35:31people in my neighborhood that work at

0:35:32the at this issue place but it's some

0:35:34places are good some places are better

0:35:36and then first reasons you can explain

0:35:38sometimes as with the mythical man month

0:35:40sometimes it's just 10 times better and

0:35:43it's definitely true width font choices

0:35:44you get the same helvetica noid to 15

0:35:47people and you're gonna have extremely

0:35:48different results right you know it's

0:35:50it's just weird there's just a kind of

0:35:52like the going to a butcher shop where

0:35:54they know how to cut it up and choose

0:35:56it's it's a completely different

0:35:57experience and yeah shell which is a

0:36:00good way to get into itunes exactly i

0:36:03should probably do

0:36:05yeah tell me about something like some

0:36:06good spots right you know our first

0:36:12sponsor i am very happy to say once

0:36:14again is talks talks coffee you know the

0:36:19talks is this that the not forgive me

0:36:21and cut this out is this is the things

0:36:23you put in to keep your coffee hot is

0:36:24that right so i think that these are

0:36:28things we set up the pieces together to

0:36:29make a Death Star exactly what stop John

0:36:32tonks it's great you sign up they've go

0:36:37around the world they find great beans

0:36:39from all over the planet literally I

0:36:42talked about this last week with Glenn

0:36:43fleischmann I mean like different

0:36:44continents they go everywhere they roast

0:36:47them they do it the right way they seal

0:36:49them up in these great bags and email

0:36:52them right to your door and so you don't

0:36:53have to buy coffee anymore you sign up

0:36:55for tonks and world-class coffee from

0:36:58around the world just shows up in your

0:37:01mail slot every couple of weeks on a

0:37:04regular schedule and you never have to

0:37:06your house always has world-class coffee

0:37:09fresh delicious ready to go

0:37:12it's just a simple small company that

0:37:15does one thing finds great find rose

0:37:18great coffee and sends it right to you

0:37:20the entire company is a hundred percent

0:37:25focused on helping a brew great coffee

0:37:27their website has all sorts of great

0:37:30advice on how to make coffee very very

0:37:32simple ways it just couldn't be better

0:37:37I'm couldn't be happier with its coffee

0:37:39is just delicious i'm drinking some

0:37:40again right now

0:37:42couldn't be better Marco Arment I don't

0:37:44think he drinks anything else and he

0:37:46refuses to drink any other kind of

0:37:47coffee that says all you want to know

0:37:48about whether it's the best and or not

0:37:50and look at the look at the calendar

0:37:54folks holidays are coming up

0:37:56here's the deal you know you don't want

0:37:59to send Hickory Farms you don't wanna

0:38:00send Hickory Farms you know what they're

0:38:01there is that aspect and I'm you know

0:38:03you know the the the Christmas vacation

0:38:06movie where he wants the big bonus check

0:38:08because he's going to put a pool in the

0:38:09backyard for the family and ends up what

0:38:11did you get the cake of the month club

0:38:12will get ahead but yet i forget

0:38:16everybody got they got the something of

0:38:17the month club instead I and there is I

0:38:20think there's but maybe there's a bad

0:38:21connotation designing somebody up for

0:38:23the bank of the month club thing as a

0:38:26gift but i'll tell you why this is

0:38:28different because if you know someone

0:38:29who loves coffee you know signing him up

0:38:32for you know sank as a flavored coffee

0:38:35of the month in your signing him up for

0:38:37the best coffee in the world i really

0:38:39think that this is true that your that's

0:38:41the best coffee in the world it i think

0:38:43it's a great holiday gift for anybody

0:38:44who drinks coffee and what I'm looking

0:38:48for is the deadline date for holiday

0:38:52shipping we should probably just doing

0:40:08love their copywriting everything love

0:40:10how it looks like Strangelove oh it

0:40:13totally does look at that I can't sign

0:40:16up

0:40:17Wow itunes came out what you think of

0:40:22the new itunes 11 i like it i dont yeah

0:40:27you know yeah I know I I am i hesitating

0:40:28because I I unfortunately for you I'm a

0:40:31copious notes and prepping for the yeah

0:40:32I don't be a common stock I don't

0:40:34dislike it but it's I'm still you know

0:40:36it's been a day right we've had for a

0:40:38day and as as messed up in so many ways

0:40:41as itunes has been it's the devil you

0:40:43know and so now I'm other I'd like to

0:40:47hear you it's your show i like to hear

0:40:48you talk about it because you seem to

0:40:50like it a lot and i wanna as usual with

0:40:54new Apple things it seems like you are

0:40:56trying to run pretty stock settings and

0:40:59give the default state of state of that

0:41:01kind of a chance is that correct

0:41:03definitely in terms of like how things

0:41:05to display because i wasn't my first

0:41:06thing just was that I was very

0:41:08disorienting to me to open up I never

0:41:10look at things in either you know cover

0:41:14flow or album mode it's just not how I

0:41:17think about the stuff I've got it's nice

0:41:18to have but it was so hard for me to

0:41:21figure out what I had to change to to

0:41:23make it where I could find things but I

0:41:25got a couple thoughts on the boat tell

0:41:26me what you think I I you know I never

0:41:31used album view before either but i

0:41:33think i am now although i'd still think

0:41:35as the day is going on i do find know

0:41:38that that sometimes what I want

0:41:39and now i'm in the mood for the rolling

0:41:42stones i got a whole bunch of stones

0:41:44albums but it doesn't seem to know that

0:41:46like I got what I want then is to click

0:41:49go to artists and then there's a list

0:41:52artist click the Rolling Stone and then

0:41:54have the album view in there but it

0:41:56doesn't seem like you can get that you

0:41:58get like a like it's album but it's more

0:42:01like a listview by album rather than

0:42:03this new magic is just the album's click

0:42:06it and you get that nice expanded view

0:42:08underneath huh yeah so I'm not a hundred

0:42:13percent sure that the new stuff has been

0:42:15thoroughly baked conceptually yeah I

0:42:21mean there's one going to farm I listed

0:42:24the to start with this but yeah one of

0:42:26the things that I find little baffling

0:42:28in addition to how to get to what is

0:42:30called listview is he seemed to have

0:42:31different options

0:42:33what kind of one metal thing just a

0:42:35suggestion if you're listening to this

0:42:37and you can i would i would suggest

0:42:39opening up a copy of itunes 11 on your

0:42:42mac and maybe like turn down the slider

0:42:47on your volume really low if you want to

0:42:49play along with this because there's

0:42:50some things that are going to be easier

0:42:51to explain into you know what I mean

0:42:53like do this with me kind of stuff yeah

0:42:55it's i was like i said is a little

0:42:58bewildered when it came up in that album

0:43:00view because and that my first thought

0:43:02was okay

0:43:03usually I just click over here in that

0:43:05little tabbed thing where you would say

0:43:09do I want to see this by which of these

0:43:10four methods and always pick the

0:43:12simplest list way probably because I'm a

0:43:15real weirdo i want two things that our

0:43:16frequently sort by his date added which

0:43:19I had trouble have had have had trouble

0:43:22getting the music tab to remember is

0:43:24that I want my default view to almost

0:43:26always be date added you know it seems

0:43:28weird but that's you know i don't i

0:43:30don't think this in the same way that I

0:43:32think of all typical library where I

0:43:34needed to be organized by dewey decimal

0:43:38you know or library of congress or

0:43:42alphabetical just cuz that's not how I

0:43:43think about the music and so anyway that

0:43:46that is so my first thought was are of

0:43:48course panic as with you know like you

0:43:51cover one time going you ended up being

0:43:52absolutely right

0:43:53out when the changes golden scroll

0:43:55direction of course you know i mean they

0:43:57went in with a lion and made it the

0:43:58other way but now it totally i went back

0:44:01to the way it's supposed to be now and i

0:44:03love it makes sense it makes sense

0:44:05across devices so you know the typical

0:44:07thing its you're better off to go with

0:44:09apples way because that's the way Apple

0:44:11is going and so try their way and i

0:44:14liked it ok there's a lot of mystery

0:44:17meat navigation and buttons that I

0:44:19thought were kind of confusing but I

0:44:21think I'm getting it

0:44:23there's one thing I still am confused by

0:44:26you to get about this like how do you

0:44:27get to column view column browser it's

0:44:30it's not clear to me like it will be a

0:44:32couple days probably like when I'm

0:44:35eligible to be in column view i guess

0:44:38probably really simple they click songs

0:44:40you click songs but this is other stuff

0:44:44for like sometimes it seems like it

0:44:47changes the way that it presents tufte

0:44:49based on like if you've done a obviously

0:44:51i think the search thing is pretty great

0:44:52when it shows you like what you hear

0:44:54your stuff live in the search but there

0:44:56are some things like the movies view was

0:44:58kind of bewildering to me

0:45:00uh I don't see I have enough time to say

0:45:03all this correctly but there were

0:45:05several things about it that I initially

0:45:06found confusing that I'm now figuring

0:45:08out and i'm in a way I almost wish i

0:45:10could reset it to how it shipped just

0:45:13just to try it again but yeah there's

0:45:16some stuff i really like about it a lot

0:45:18of things like I find really bewildering

0:45:19the number one thing now this might have

0:45:23been in there before i'm almost positive

0:45:25it wasn't because I would try it once a

0:45:26week and it didn't work did it open

0:45:27right now

0:45:28yeah hit command to command three and

0:45:35four

0:45:35what's that doing i'm going to know what

0:45:37I'm doing here looking side rail over

0:45:38there you have sat on the side rail

0:45:40anymore house it jumps between music

0:45:43movies TV I guess I've wanted of which

0:45:46I've wanted forever i got that is easier

0:45:48than that and and that's may seem like a

0:45:50small thing but I so what I'm doing is

0:45:51when hit command 12 sort of like yeah it

0:45:54takes you to the section of your library

0:45:56for music movies TV shows which I

0:45:58actually found really useful mainly

0:45:59because I hop between music and podcasts

0:46:01a lot you know I movies and TV shows i

0:46:04tend to watch

0:46:06I guess for somewhat obvious reasons i

0:46:07tend to watch on an iOS device for Apple

0:46:09TV but for the idea of stuff I'm jumping

0:46:11around a lot

0:46:12I mean my here's my real quick check on

0:46:14this is that i will probably be using

0:46:16search library a lot more is my first

0:46:18thought because i think it it's pretty

0:46:21good and is forgetting to the music i

0:46:23want fast i have not found a faster way

0:46:25to get there then search library and it

0:46:28works better

0:46:29it does i I think don't you think it

0:46:31works a lot better than it used to

0:46:32absolutely it's got its got a couple

0:46:34weird it's got like 10 bug that drives

0:46:37me a little bit nuts but it's it's very

0:46:40fast and it gets me where I where I want

0:46:42to be I also like the way that in the

0:46:44search results that it includes album

0:46:48art wherever it can yes so was i I do I

0:46:55had it it just works better for me it's

0:46:57like the way that like I like the way

0:46:59that Safari uses five icons right there

0:47:02in the URL bar because it's it helps me

0:47:04know like on certain websites you know

0:47:07oh I know where I am you know absolutely

0:47:10and I mean I think as a branding thing

0:47:12like I see that that's the guy i know

0:47:15that album so here it is

0:47:17what's weird about that is it seems like

0:47:19a feature like that would mean a lot

0:47:21more to people of our generation because

0:47:23we're more accustomed to flipping

0:47:25through associating yes that's our cds

0:47:29and oh yeah this is houses of the holy

0:47:30yeah like or whatever i bet there aren't

0:47:32that many people aren't as many people

0:47:34today especially because people download

0:47:36stuff and it may not have correct album

0:47:38art I mean I'm constantly saying find

0:47:39the album art and can't find it now I me

0:47:41too i do have to buy it and actually

0:47:44have a tip for that but I mean my kids

0:47:46wear something that's a little weird

0:47:47I'm gonna try something here first of

0:47:49all I car you big on keyboard navigation

0:47:52when you're typing text key like the

0:47:55command shift in the option shift and

0:47:57all that ya threw text you do that a lot

0:47:59yeah okay so hit command F and type Tom

0:48:04Petty

0:48:04ok i'm just guessing stuff i think you

0:48:07have I don't have any time better

0:48:09ok for just forty forty three albums

0:48:13ok so go to go to select and the

0:48:14torpedoes you know i don't think i have

0:48:17damaged your penis I know we have

0:48:18whatever they're on their way over there

0:48:20on the CD rack and here's the here

0:48:22here's a real quick version of this that

0:48:23I don't this is so stupid but this is

0:48:25the kind of thing that drives me bananas

0:48:26go ahead and play any song starts

0:48:27playing any song any song anywhere

0:48:29alright we're going to do is we're gonna

0:48:33lie i turn my volume way down on my

0:48:34itunes alright alright you got you got

0:48:37song playing yeah okay and now go to

0:48:41church library and type in weiser ok ok

0:48:47and then act like you misspelled it and

0:48:49actually wanted to type something else

0:48:50now me I hit command shift arrow to

0:48:54select everything that I've just type

0:48:56there

0:48:56that works for me it selects that

0:49:00selects the type

0:49:01ok do without the shifts just go to the

0:49:03beginning I what did that do next is the

0:49:08IC yeah without the shift it

0:49:11ok that's it then what it just did for

0:49:13me was it started that song that's

0:49:15playing again yeah because it's totally

0:49:17natural behavior in itunes to hit

0:49:19command left and right arrow the next

0:49:23previous track now that's probably

0:49:24expected behavior for most people

0:49:26because who uses that kind of nonsense

0:49:27but it is a weird thing like talking

0:49:30like some petty itunes to me has always

0:49:32felt like an app that works ok like an

0:49:36iCloud like iCloud like a lot of things

0:49:39like address book

0:49:40they're pretty great things for a casual

0:49:42user to have a moderate amount of data

0:49:45in it's just that now especially with

0:49:48itunes match that I have so much stuff

0:49:50in here and I'm you know I find myself

0:49:53on the one hand like being appreciative

0:49:55of this looking prettier and stuff but

0:49:57right now it doesn't feel there's still

0:49:59stuff about that makes me feel like it's

0:50:01not that much faster for for power users

0:50:03and for people who want to become power

0:50:06users there's still a lot of opacity

0:50:07that i would like to see less opaque

0:50:10personally do you know what I mean

0:50:14oh yeah i think so are you on right now

0:50:17are you on a record I'm not be like pack

0:50:20up the plantation live

0:50:22ok and NIU that view where you get like

0:50:24the artist and you get like the kc like

0:50:26play shuffle arrow all those next to the

0:50:30name of the artist yes yes okay

0:50:33something else ever play okay got it

0:50:37what do you get nothing okay that's over

0:50:40the area on the right right

0:50:43nothing but i can click it I mean if i

0:50:45click it something you do most people do

0:50:47that do they claim be yeah I like you go

0:50:51to think that the the thing with the

0:50:53listview be like the LI view up in the

0:50:55which is as we all know now

0:50:57up next like mouse over that likewise

0:50:59they're not mouse over text for that he

0:51:01yeah I guess there could be some kind of

0:51:04you know like if you put you know like a

0:51:05webpage like if you pause for a little

0:51:07bit

0:51:08pause for a little hover something and

0:51:10now go now and there's no that's my

0:51:11complaint with that that that mysterious

0:51:13cloud icon next to the word with the

0:51:17top-left thing where you pick music

0:51:18movies TV shows what is that what is

0:51:20that for this is a horrible i think i

0:51:21think that means update my icloud yeah

0:51:24but it clicking it doesn't doing I match

0:51:25and hovering doesn't show anything yeah

0:51:27and right now mine is animated I've got

0:51:29these little diagonal i think that means

0:51:31it's updating and that means it's

0:51:32updating your collection yeah but I

0:51:34don't know but I so I understand that

0:51:36while it's updating why they would show

0:51:37me that but when it's not updating and

0:51:39it's just an empty cloud I really don't

0:51:41know why they show me that that there's

0:51:43a cloud there that I can't do anything

0:51:45with I can't click it I can't control

0:51:47click it well I need to be pedantic I'll

0:51:49say again just because it is standard in

0:51:51every other mac app and web page i mean

0:51:53do you ever go to preferences in it

0:51:56this isn't like in almost every mac app

0:51:58and I think there's a lot of people that

0:51:59don't know this so it's worth mentioning

0:52:01if you have somewhere where there are

0:52:02selections to be made like in

0:52:04preferences in almost every mac app and

0:52:06every good mac app if you have a choice

0:52:08between for radio buttons you can

0:52:10mouse-over a radiobutton whether it's

0:52:12selected or not and it will tell you

0:52:13what happens when you click that right

0:52:15which i think is kind of cool so to me

0:52:17if I mouse over the at that cloud like

0:52:19what what the hell does that mean if I

0:52:20mouse over that it should say for

0:52:22example in my case I the white cloud

0:52:24which a fluffy white cloud which I guess

0:52:26means everything's cold

0:52:27setec yeah but like no good last one on

0:52:30these i hope that go back to like the

0:52:32view of that plantation record right and

0:52:35click play the little arrow next to the

0:52:37artist name right

0:52:38got it oh ok then click play again

0:52:43all right Michael well shouldn't be

0:52:46pause yeah it doesn't pause yeah it's

0:52:49weird it doesn't turn to pause what

0:52:50happens instead is every time you hit

0:52:51play it just restarts the song which

0:52:54again maybe maybe that silly but in the

0:52:56way that this works i want this to be a

0:52:58UK they've chosen modality that's fine

0:53:00let's live with modality but to me

0:53:02modality means i should be able to do

0:53:03something like hit 14 music and if I tab

0:53:07one thing is I've got you know the

0:53:09universal access on so it goes to like

0:53:11frickin everything but I mean if you

0:53:13look at this if you never run this app

0:53:15before and you opened up I just feel

0:53:16like there's so much opacity to like

0:53:19what all this means like okay so I mouse

0:53:21over the name of the album and now i get

0:53:23an arrow next to it which gives me

0:53:26options but that it's almost like a play

0:53:28button don't talk about you if you go up

0:53:30to that little view dingus

0:53:32I mean that's cool i'll get used to that

0:53:34but i don't know i'm going to just bitch

0:53:37about there's a lot about it that i like

0:53:38better I wish these fonts for it's so

0:53:40big

0:53:41well here's one that I i find

0:53:43interesting and i'm not quite sure I

0:53:44guess it's one of those things where I

0:53:49always come back to the analogy about

0:53:50you know the disney analogy that the guy

0:53:52on pirates of the caribbean the one

0:53:54pirate who's got a foot on the dock one

0:53:57foot on a boat a handful of a treasure

0:53:59chest and like 13 hats on his head and

0:54:03he's metering because it's you know how

0:54:05the hell you gonna get on a boat i'm

0:54:06going to get off the shore onto a boat

0:54:08that's on the water doing that that's

0:54:11like the hardest thing in the world is

0:54:12going from the old thing that was

0:54:13slightly gotta David Blaine thing to the

0:54:15new thing I and I feel like that's where

0:54:18itunes is a lot of mac stuff is for

0:54:22Apple is that they know they've got the

0:54:24new thing which is a lot simpler and

0:54:26doesn't have the the craft in the

0:54:28baggage and all this historical stuff

0:54:30which is ios and they got the old thing

0:54:32which is the mac which is really really

0:54:35powerful and

0:54:36and let you do all sorts of stuff you

0:54:38still can't do on iOS so how do they get

0:54:40from there to here and it's really

0:54:41really hard so here's a my perfect

0:54:43example of that one foot on the shore

0:54:45one foot on a boat that's already on the

0:54:47water and isn't even tied up is go to a

0:54:52song in this expanded view thing and you

0:54:54hover over the song title and you get

0:54:56that little right-pointing chevron you

0:55:00know I mean it's like so like if i go by

0:55:02so if i go back to my Tom Petty record

0:55:03I'm search by artist see even this view

0:55:06ok so I'm by artist and I Montana

0:55:08torpedoes like so next to refugee i

0:55:10click on the what looks like a closing

0:55:13bracket

0:55:13yeah like it's like a greater than sign

0:55:15in a circle and when you do the same

0:55:17choices as what you got up in the thing

0:55:20that play next

0:55:20at the next that right so it's a

0:55:23contextual menu right now

0:55:25yes like it's like it's like control

0:55:26clicking what happened mmm yeah but what

0:55:29happens if you control click on the song

0:55:30you get an entirely different menu

0:55:33oh come on right ctrl click on it I did

0:55:36write can't believe so when you control

0:55:38click on it you get a a regular

0:55:40max-style contextual menu it's you know

0:55:43you know it's right out of the system

0:55:45frameworks it's it's a regular system

0:55:48standard wide menu with sin lucida

0:55:50grande the system font if you go to one

0:55:53with a submenu the submenu as soon as

0:55:55you hover over it it pops off to the

0:55:57side right now look at the new one the

0:55:59one in that little Chevron then when you

0:56:01think that questions that's cool

0:56:03well but but does it open when you hover

0:56:04over it when you so tell me again so I'm

0:56:08control kicking no not control clicking

0:56:10don't control sorry go back to the one

0:56:12aegis regular click on the Chevron I

0:56:14don't know what you wanted right now if

0:56:16you go down there is one like genius

0:56:18suggestions add to the ones that have

0:56:20another menu off to the side it doesn't

0:56:24open when you hover over you have to

0:56:25click on my god really

0:56:27click on it and then it all colleges in

0:56:30ok alright i guess i could get used to

0:56:33that but that's that's really weird

0:56:35well it is really weird I and very

0:56:38different from the mac but i do think

0:56:40that for most people I i think it's a

0:56:42reasonable argument to be made that this

0:56:44is the way subject because it looks like

0:56:47iOS it works like is this is the way

0:56:49submenus

0:56:49always should go for it and everybody

0:56:51knows all the usability studies show

0:56:53that that hierarchical menus you you

0:56:56lose easily ninety-five percent of all

0:56:58users as soon as you go to a menu and

0:57:01you go down and there's a little thing

0:57:02to the right and there's a nice menu

0:57:04piece is actually pretty well done and

0:57:06the plus sign next to it this is

0:57:07actually pretty cool that you have once

0:57:09you understand it right but it's

0:57:11absolutely it's not like a regular menu

0:57:13at all i can and you know i SAT there

0:57:17and hovered over it waiting for it to

0:57:18open a 10 seconds and then I thought

0:57:20well if i click well and then it slides

0:57:22into place and it's animated and its

0:57:24really nice and you can go back but it's

0:57:26totally unlike a standard mac contextual

0:57:30menu and the standard mac contextual

0:57:32menu is still there which offers an

0:57:34entirely different set of things you can

0:57:35do to the song and offers a lot more

0:57:37stuff although actually it doesn't

0:57:39they're not but they're not even

0:57:40separate though there's so you could do

0:57:42play next from both menus right yeah but

0:57:44you can't do you get album artwork from

0:57:46the new right everyone is very limited

0:57:48the other one the standard mac one has

0:57:51all sorts of complicated so all this the

0:57:53the nerdy stuff is still hidden in the

0:57:55control click one like create AAC

0:57:56version i recently think that's one of

0:58:01those you know I don't you probably have

0:58:03a name for this but one of the things

0:58:04like allowing you to do reverse

0:58:07scrolling you think this is one of those

0:58:08like a legacy thing for the nerds

0:58:10yes or just yeah because I don't think

0:58:14that they don't think they could get rid

0:58:15of that while they could get rid of it

0:58:17but i think that you know they obviously

0:58:19haven't haven't really gotten rid of

0:58:20anything in iTunes you can still do

0:58:22everything you can to be able to do you

0:58:23listen to you listen to that podcast

0:58:25right to what you don't listen to too

0:58:28many podcast right I don't

0:58:29well one of the things if you the

0:58:32feature I've always really liked it

0:58:33again I'm ready to be wrong about this

0:58:34but hit whatever command for orgo to

0:58:36podcast right this is another example of

0:58:38that more things I used to really love

0:58:40is like I would go like I this is

0:58:42something i subscribe to a while ago I

0:58:43don't unsubscribe but I also don't want

0:58:45to see that there's 35 episodes i

0:58:47haven't listened to write and used to be

0:58:49a control click to say mark always

0:58:51played or mark always unplayed right and

0:58:54now if you go to the title and you click

0:58:55on it you do you get the old you do get

0:58:57the old-school you know presumably the

0:59:00same you know I mean the old whatever

0:59:02you wanna call it the old school

0:59:03all your menu contextual menu but that's

0:59:06gone now

0:59:07yeah mark all is rather it's not there I

0:59:09don't see it

0:59:10yeah but you know whatever that seems

0:59:12weird but I actually use that a lot in

0:59:14RSS readers i used a lot in if I've been

0:59:17away for from a high-volume site for for

0:59:19a few days I'll just frequency mark

0:59:21always read if if it's not anything to

0:59:23current that is that that's an unusual

0:59:25decision it's a better decision I mean I

0:59:27was driven crazy went to a site the

0:59:30other day of this artist is comic artist

0:59:32i liken it has you know the usual kind

0:59:34of old-school navigation where it's like

0:59:36they eat where these two call it you

0:59:38know when you get the drop-down menus so

0:59:40you click and they say like okay show me

0:59:43gallery and the gallery has four five

0:59:45selections LOL cool comic covers you

0:59:47click comic covers and when you click on

0:59:50covers it gives you different publishers

0:59:55ok click Marvel they want to get to

0:59:57marvel it's different like Siri

0:59:57marvel it's different like Siri

1:00:00this is like yeah none of those things

1:00:02are become content until you get to the

1:00:05very very end as it happened on this

1:00:07side and iOS even when you get to the

1:00:08end it didn't do anything i'm guessing

1:00:10it was kind of like wonky javascript or

1:00:12something but not that that's always

1:00:14been a totally flawed way to deal with

1:00:15that and I think you know when it can

1:00:18win the contextual menus come along on a

1:00:21OS 10 or on on now isn't it was sometime

1:00:24in America is not here right right but I

1:00:27mean it's you know not going maybe

1:00:29sometime I bet there was something

1:00:31somewhat grudging about that decision

1:00:32because yeah windows had already done

1:00:35right now that was a huge windows is

1:00:37right clicking right was something that

1:00:40people setting aside the one button to

1:00:42button thing whatever but not do people

1:00:44used to do that so often in Windows I

1:00:47think it's much more of the pattern of

1:00:48using windows at least in those days so

1:00:50definitely yeah so even then that might

1:00:53have felt like a satisfying satisficing

1:00:55but you know a not totally embrace

1:00:58decision to do that but you know it's

1:01:01it's never been fun like right now my

1:01:02services menu and yes i know there are

1:01:05things to clean this up but only two

1:01:06things like bread temperatures markdown

1:01:07stuff and a lot of other things I've

1:01:09added my on my services menus is crazy

1:01:13now or I should say my contextual menu

1:01:16in the finder and given that they can

1:01:19the width of the contextual menu is

1:01:20governed by the name of the longest item

1:01:23I its giant and it's got like 30 things

1:01:27in it seems like a menu looks like a

1:01:28window it it kind of does it looks like

1:01:31little men you like in a restaurant

1:01:32right but you know I think the one that

1:01:34I use just for this is actually I try to

1:01:36be helpful i think it's called services

1:01:38manager is the one that I use

1:01:39I never heard of services manager lets

1:01:41you go in and change without having to

1:01:43go to that awful thing in on the Apple

1:01:45yeah open up services manager you can go

1:01:47in and turn on turn services off very

1:01:51easily you can so if you leave it on you

1:01:55can set whether it appears in context

1:01:56menus and you can set the key commands

1:01:58all from here which you know the thing

1:02:02hit the truth is though any power user

1:02:03who's going to keyboard to do this it's

1:02:06I don't know about you but the fastest

1:02:08Mac I've ever been on i still get a

1:02:09beach ball waiting for services to to

1:02:11update yeah

1:02:12ok and then and then and then another

1:02:14nice thing here is that then you can say

1:02:16is a number of allowed items in context

1:02:19menu and you could say you want two

1:02:21three four five six seven ten unlimited

1:02:23so you can choose how many things so

1:02:24personally I think contextual menus are

1:02:26way under used by most people especially

1:02:27in the finder or for that matter and you

1:02:30know bbedit or text me there's so much

1:02:32stuff that you can do with those

1:02:33services your services fan right you

1:02:36pointed you point me to that that the

1:02:38services maker thing a few years ago we

1:02:41took a shell script and make it into a

1:02:42service service was called service

1:02:45forget what it's called

1:02:47I know it's by the guy named just

1:02:49breasts this service service that's

1:02:51right video and that's sort of semi

1:02:53obviated by automator as of like lion

1:02:57roar lion let your mouth

1:02:58yeah theoretically although i think this

1:03:01services ones are a little bit more

1:03:03first for somebody who knows anything

1:03:04about eunuchs which is not me the idea

1:03:06of input-output a filter is is pretty

1:03:08transparent right but anyway i'm getting

1:03:11off the topic but i don't know i mean i

1:03:14think i think i'm going to get get used

1:03:15to this but there's give me trouble with

1:03:20command LOL i feel good sometimes

1:03:21getting trouble with command l working

1:03:24or not working and I rely on that very

1:03:25heavily in what app sorry in itunes hit

1:03:29command l takes you currently playing

1:03:30song i didn't know that hole dude that's

1:03:33the last year

1:03:35that's nice so you probably have another

1:03:37problem with that

1:03:38yeah I'll take one is driving me nuts do

1:03:41you ever open playlist in a new window

1:03:43like i'll say i want to make a new

1:03:44playlist for a road trip i'll create the

1:03:46new playlist and then created a new open

1:03:48in new window ever do that in itunes i

1:03:50have previously we'll go double click

1:03:52one of them now walk right doesn't go

1:03:56into new window and you don't get to

1:03:58solve officially a one window a pro yeah

1:04:00i like but here's a here's an

1:04:02interesting decision that they made

1:04:03which i think is a is new and am i i'm

1:04:07not sure i don't want to pass judgment

1:04:09either way on ax I'm not sure is the way

1:04:11that in the interest of showing fewer

1:04:15things on screen at once they don't show

1:04:17the sidebar unless you want to turn on

1:04:19the old fashioned mode but as soon as

1:04:21you start dragging a song your playlists

1:04:24open up from the south

1:04:25oh I'm gonna have to try this so just

1:04:29grab any song and start dragging it so I

1:04:33get stuck on the top side here signing

1:04:34up um I should multitask so I'm taking

1:04:37on taking a song from anywhere and I

1:04:39start dragging correct right and yeah

1:04:43we're looking to do on the right side

1:04:45doesn't a list of devices any playlist

1:04:47comes into it that isn't always there

1:04:49and only when you're dragging ass time

1:04:51you start dragging and you get a little

1:04:53list it slides in from the right of

1:04:55devices and playlist so you could add a

1:04:57song to a device or you can add a song

1:04:58to a playlist

1:05:00I'm guess I'm in an album I mean music

1:05:03i'm looking at AC Newman's get guilty

1:05:05taking the chevron just no just drag the

1:05:08song drag-and-drop ok to write it like

1:05:11you're moving in somewhere and then off

1:05:13the side of the right side you don't get

1:05:14a you don't get a now maybe I'm in the

1:05:17wrong view them trapped by songs that

1:05:20works i'm inseong I was an album should

1:05:22be anywhere soon as you start dragging

1:05:23you get a a little thing from the side

1:05:26not kidding i wonder if i have something

1:05:30turned off

1:05:31yeah I don't know how that's gonna take

1:05:34that sounds that sounds like a great

1:05:35idea so immediately gets that hey

1:05:37they're grabbing this because they want

1:05:38to put this someplace

1:05:39let me give them the option is what

1:05:41happened to it's very untraditional

1:05:42though that the destination is invisible

1:05:46until you start dragging and as soon as

1:05:49you're done dragging it goes away

1:05:50because you have to know you do anyway

1:05:53you would you have to know it before you

1:05:55would try it

1:05:56that's kind of what I was trying to get

1:05:58out with I wasn't trying to be a dick

1:05:59about it that's kinda was trying to get

1:06:00out with the opacity about those icons

1:06:02in my experience and my very small bit

1:06:04of user experience stuff people are not

1:06:07too excited about cooking something

1:06:10unless they know what's going to happen

1:06:11that goes back to the days of wondering

1:06:13if you're going to reformat your hard

1:06:14drive that sounds silly to nerds but

1:06:16there are a lot of people who will not

1:06:17just click I mean look at how many

1:06:19things in this interface have an arrow

1:06:21to be honest look that's one way to look

1:06:24at it if you go back to album view and

1:06:25go look at Tom Petty record i mean there

1:06:27are so many arrows there's an arrow

1:06:29right for iCloud there's a chevron just

1:06:32wasn't the right word like a black

1:06:33chevron whatever chevron but like

1:06:35there's a bracket to show next room for

1:06:37contextual menu

1:06:39this contextual menu one for each song

1:06:41when you mouse over there is a

1:06:42contextual menu one for the app there's

1:06:44to intermingle and arrows meaning

1:06:47shuffle there is a narrow a you know a

1:06:50sideways triangle foreplay and then much

1:06:53of those things are repeated in the

1:06:56thing at the top there's anything of

1:06:58course is the big arrows for play rewind

1:06:59etc and in almost every piece of

1:07:02interface and this is some kind of a

1:07:03narrow and and that to me I would you

1:07:07know even I've used this stuff for a

1:07:09while and i still look at that and go

1:07:10what I know shuffle means you know what

1:07:13I mean

1:07:13hey do you have the sidebar showing yes

1:07:16alright turn off the huts hide the

1:07:18sidebar right sidebar now now drag us on

1:07:20ok that must be a let's see and now i

1:07:23want to go to I clicking clicking oh

1:07:27that's neat right so it doesn't happen

1:07:32if you have the sidebar showing because

1:07:34you don't need it but right but if you

1:07:36hide the sidebar which is the default

1:07:38view when you drag a song this right

1:07:42side sidebar of destinations where you

1:07:45might want to drop a song devices and

1:07:47playlists appears adding it to a device

1:07:51that is really interesting i'm on my

1:07:52non-primary itunes so I do my secret

1:07:55through my air and so I'm on my ancient

1:07:58mac pro right now and if I think it's

1:08:00grab the device probably won't work but

1:08:02this is pretty sweet right well anyway

1:08:04that you can pick a movie or show to

1:08:06load up on your iPad before you head off

1:08:08to visit doing that locally or is it

1:08:09saying go be wise and get this from the

1:08:12cloud I i think it's if it's by USB it

1:08:15will copy by USB and if you have the

1:08:18device setup to sink over Wi-Fi it'll

1:08:20push it over white I've got it i'm gonna

1:08:22just do it by iCloud though it will do

1:08:23it over your local wife

1:08:25what do I mean like two things two great

1:08:26things that have been there forever that

1:08:28are still worth telling people about our

1:08:29the ad to so like or see now this is

1:08:34crazy

1:08:35so if you use the new non contextual

1:08:37clicking chevron next to a song you get

1:08:39add to click add to and you can add it

1:08:42to a playlist right that's I think

1:08:43that's a great feature but no but now do

1:08:46the contextual menu version of that and

1:08:48get something even cooler which is shown

1:08:50playlist ever use that

1:08:52now i use that is that all the time so

1:08:54let's say if you're like me and you got

1:08:55a million playlist right do this you

1:08:57might want to say oh I want this in that

1:08:59party 1999 shuffle show me in there are

1:09:02right in that context or something I

1:09:05used to love in back on the creative for

1:09:07that is a good future

1:09:08yeah it's something you back on the I

1:09:10think I'm the creative or maybe on the

1:09:11diamond rio player was in a shop in the

1:09:13middle of a shuffle there was a dingus

1:09:15for saying continue playing along lines

1:09:18of net play this by clicking whatever

1:09:22it's called it functionally started

1:09:24playing it as the track it was on the

1:09:25record

1:09:26so if you if your rocks off came up you

1:09:29could say continue playing album and

1:09:31then it would play the rest of Exile on

1:09:33Main Street

1:09:34ah that's a great feature it's exactly

1:09:36certain songs were when i hear them then

1:09:39I didn't immediately want to hear that

1:09:40usually happens to me with Zeppelin

1:09:41songs as soon as I hear one I need to

1:09:43hear the one that I know it's checking

1:09:46it was like what I do that case for what

1:09:49it's worth it's a command l to show me

1:09:50the playing track and then i'll say then

1:09:52I'll do that right click to show in that

1:09:55album so i can show you just in the

1:09:56straight-up legitimate album or you can

1:09:59hit the course the revealing arrow to

1:10:00take you to that album one more thing

1:10:03that's been happening forever 19 that

1:10:05drives me nuts you know what you can

1:10:06going to flick i don't know if i did

1:10:08this with onyx or whether I did it

1:10:11legitimately but I don't you know you

1:10:12can change the arrow to mean

1:10:14itunes store or yeah so I had it set to

1:10:17show to me the collection was the

1:10:19weirdest thing like yesterday I was like

1:10:20I want to go the danger mouse record i

1:10:22click the arrow and it took me to

1:10:23everything by danger mouse even though i

1:10:25click on the album right i was kinda

1:10:26weird but you know i mean this is this

1:10:29is the thing I mean yeah it was sort of

1:10:31like it there was like a hidden

1:10:32preference that was more or less like

1:10:34stop trying to upsell me what ya used to

1:10:36be i guess a plist thing that aren't

1:10:37like on one of the Sonics or you know

1:10:39yeah those apps what do you use for

1:10:41stuff like that I i usually honestly I

1:10:45used like the terminal and i just type

1:10:47the default right come out interesting

1:10:50ok but you don't go in and do stuff like

1:10:52hi desktop or not anymore now change the

1:10:56font size in my finder now sidebar know

1:10:59about catcher pussy now I was getting a

1:11:02mother giving out for you get for you've

1:11:05done

1:11:05but you know it's interesting I mean

1:11:07that the the big trend everybody out you

1:11:09and all your buddies always talk about

1:11:11that is actually turning out to be

1:11:12pretty interesting is V nokia is this

1:11:17move toward being more iOS like which i

1:11:19think is entirely sensible you know in a

1:11:21lot of ways I think for file management

1:11:23it's it's an almost utter failure but

1:11:26for stuff like this I get why they do it

1:11:30it's a shame that itunes on my ipad is

1:11:33one of the worst apps i have ever used

1:11:34to my aunt but if they can improve the

1:11:38desktop version by taking some of those

1:11:40patterns i'm all for it

1:11:42well I think you want once you get the

1:11:44iCloud thing it's really clear i'm

1:11:46looking at you know what am I looking at

1:11:48obvious definitive collection because

1:11:50that's what I'm looking at all the gold

1:11:51greatest shut up

1:11:52honestly too i got that too with new

1:11:54album art boom yeah no yeah let's see

1:11:58here because I'm dancing queen going

1:11:59yeah it's great it's such a good record

1:12:02oh man i was into that every day I got

1:12:04yeah we've got gold and the definitive

1:12:05collection used to be the only thing

1:12:07only help her daughter go to sleep play

1:12:09count 1992

1:12:11oh no wait no that's the year the album

1:12:14came out i did a screen grab bars the

1:12:16other day and it was like Everlong this

1:12:18look like one of my eyes and Everlong

1:12:20idle no we don't gotta have a couple of

1:12:25Springsteen songs at the top

1:12:27yeah you know I reset a while back to

1:12:28you with Amy did Thunder it was way high

1:12:31but it but you know having a kid screws

1:12:33it up because now we've got i love they

1:12:36might be giants but yeah like I don't

1:12:39listen to favor island quite as much as

1:12:40my daughter

1:12:41ours is still it's permanent until one

1:12:44of us like are both of us I guess lose

1:12:45our eventually lose our itunes history

1:12:48but ours is yellow submarine because oh

1:12:50that's right that we should go to that

1:12:51was our go-to that it when Jonas was a

1:12:54you know the cry baby infant worse i was

1:12:58like that was like the red line that was

1:13:00the red button underneath the protective

1:13:02glass cover the last resort if this

1:13:05doesn't work we don't know what we may

1:13:07have to drop everything and he sir right

1:13:09we yeah we both had to turn the key

1:13:12we both had to agree let's go to yellow

1:13:14submarine and

1:13:15never let us down I remember we talked

1:13:18about on the other talk summer I was

1:13:19walking around New Zealand and you were

1:13:21talking about that I remember that for

1:13:23us not you know i got my kid into Queen

1:13:24tomato that's good but the thing with it

1:13:26here's the thing about the Yellow

1:13:27Submarine thing that made the playground

1:13:29so high is that you once you went to

1:13:30yellow submarine you had to replay they

1:13:33had to keep going you had to keep going

1:13:34till he went to sleep he stopped crying

1:13:36he would smile he would get a check for

1:13:38you to follow through how to keep going

1:13:40just yellow submarine over and over and

1:13:43over but i gotta play count on that song

1:13:45is just but it's right now I we had the

1:13:48way to similar for a long time for us it

1:13:50was drier sound and it was like I'd like

1:13:5314,000 plays or whatever because we were

1:13:55just we had we had 1i got a little tiny

1:13:581i thought maybe it had a hair dryer

1:14:00well-known 40 it was a 45-minute minute

1:14:04track of a hairdryer here's what you do

1:14:07when you're when you're real stupid and

1:14:08had a little too much money at the time

1:14:10I i had one ipod mini there was nothing

1:14:12but the dryer sound everywhere we went I

1:14:16could plug it in and hit play and they

1:14:17would just be for those of you who don't

1:14:21know that the the kids like there are

1:14:25certain like white boys and white noise

1:14:27some of them don't like running water

1:14:29right but you don't your kid might have

1:14:31a hot you know it and one Jonas's was a

1:14:33hairdryer and there you can go and you

1:14:35can quick Google these things and you

1:14:36can just download like the sound of a

1:14:38hairdryer I remember it used to always

1:14:40make me think you're obviously

1:14:42completely irrationally that playing the

1:14:45hairdryer sound was wasting so much

1:14:47energy haha and I don't talk about skill

1:14:52more its I and I would not enter a every

1:14:54time we went to it i would think god

1:14:56it's alright it shut him up this is

1:14:58great

1:14:58god I can't believe how much money we're

1:14:59going to spend on and then I think oh no

1:15:01of course not but it every single time

1:15:04it would make me think we were we were

1:15:05blowing a bunch of money but screw it

1:15:07it's worth it's worth it can't believe

1:15:10you had hop oh that's something that

1:15:12we're at so creepy you know here's the

1:15:14thing here's the thing that I see is the

1:15:16big-scale big picture trend that iOS is

1:15:20leading is is it is about contextual

1:15:23pneus and it's about visual

1:15:27obvious and so the reason that

1:15:33contextual menus worked in Windows is

1:15:36that it does make a lot of sense where

1:15:38what you swim in a certain way where

1:15:40you're saying look I've got this thing

1:15:41here it is a file or it's a short yeah i

1:15:45mean there are so many things I could do

1:15:47to a file right right and so I mean it

1:15:50from the desktop session right and

1:15:52before contextual menus it would be like

1:15:55well you had this one gesture that Apple

1:15:59popularized drag-and-drop but you only

1:16:01got one thing out of that it was you

1:16:03know typically you drag it over and it

1:16:05would open you know you would drag this

1:16:07thing to a file or to an application and

1:16:10it would open and I know that there are

1:16:13certain gestures like a mac i don't i

1:16:15can't speak in windows and there were

1:16:16ways to modify drag-and-drop with

1:16:19modifier keys where you drag and drop

1:16:21something with the option key down in

1:16:23the finder you're making a copy and

1:16:25expect a copy and alias so if you have

1:16:28the service you can do have symbolic

1:16:29link number i mean but that's way out in

1:16:31the weeds and very few users are ever

1:16:33going to know about any of those

1:16:34shortcuts because they're not visual you

1:16:37have to know about them

1:16:38absolutely there's you know there's a

1:16:39little visual cue when you hold the

1:16:41option key down drag something where it

1:16:43adds a plus sign to sort of at least

1:16:45give you a little bit of a visual hint

1:16:47that maybe you know that you're making a

1:16:48copy or adding but you know I mean show

1:16:51that to most people and they're not

1:16:52going to have any idea what the plus

1:16:53sign means and they're never going to

1:16:55guess that holding the option anything

1:16:57that involves modifier keeses is not

1:16:59going to it just goes right over even

1:17:03smart people said because it's not you

1:17:04have to know it before you ever use and

1:17:06you have to remember it and that's

1:17:07that's a good and you know it's let me

1:17:10think about you go to somebody's house

1:17:11and you want like you're house-sitting

1:17:13you want to find the scissors

1:17:14yeah like there's nothing that would

1:17:16tell you where the scissors are until

1:17:17you open a bunch of drawers and try

1:17:18stuff

1:17:19yeah exactly that's extensive really

1:17:21good analogy

1:17:22here's another one and in itunes 11 the

1:17:26new mini player thing is a new button up

1:17:28in the up in the title bar that toggles

1:17:31between these two states for all

1:17:33previous ten versions what they did is

1:17:35override the green button the

1:17:37and instead of zooming the window it

1:17:40would toggle between the two states but

1:17:42most people don't know is if you option

1:17:44click the plus button it would give you

1:17:48the traditional green button behavior

1:17:49and I really i never knew that

1:17:52yes you do my tweeted that yesterday and

1:17:54I got it like a gazillion like holy cow

1:17:56i didn't know that never-ending million

1:17:58years to do that and why did you not

1:18:00teach me the head before the version of

1:18:02itunes came out that that it doesn't

1:18:05matter anymore it's just one of those

1:18:08things if you're a loser you know if you

1:18:09think Mackey enough you think like well

1:18:12if they / read that wouldn't they maybe

1:18:14give you an escape hatch with a modifier

1:18:15key but modifier keys to did like you

1:18:18said you haven't you just said you

1:18:19didn't even know that existed

1:18:20well modifier Keys not a good solution

1:18:23to the problem so windows contextual

1:18:25menus solved that problem in a certain

1:18:27sense of give me a way to do

1:18:30here's the thing i have it in front of

1:18:33me let me give me a whole bunch of list

1:18:35of things I can do to this thing right

1:18:37now mom but in another sense it wasn't

1:18:42still wasn't visual though because you

1:18:43had to know the difference between right

1:18:45clicking and left clicking which I you

1:18:48know it's like one of the most like

1:18:49divisive arguments in the history of

1:18:53user interface design

1:18:56yeah what is one is let's do something

1:18:58and the other one is let's find out what

1:18:59we could do right and on my argument

1:19:02against it then that Apple was right

1:19:04with the one button mouse for all these

1:19:06years is that whenever i worked in an

1:19:07office environment you can go and you

1:19:09look at everybody's mouse if they had

1:19:11pcs and the left mouse button was filthy

1:19:14and the right mouse button or actually

1:19:17it was the other way around where the

1:19:18left one was well Leslie when that might

1:19:20be dirty but it had a finger-sized shiny

1:19:23yeah like shiny and the right one was

1:19:25just too just covered with dust and that

1:19:27people learned that that's the one you

1:19:29don't click that kind of shows you how

1:19:32Apple really did win right that normal

1:19:35people still never use that those things

1:19:37they you know it was opposed it is a

1:19:39great power user future and that's why

1:19:41Apple eventually and I do think you're

1:19:43right that that when Apple added

1:19:45contextual menus with the control click

1:19:47that it was sort of begrudging

1:19:49but it's definitely a power user feature

1:19:51because it's not visual and that's why

1:19:54you see things i think in itunes now

1:19:55with this thing where they've got this

1:19:57secondary in a way it is totally

1:20:00ungraceful an inelegant that there are

1:20:03two entirely different contextual menus

1:20:05for let's say a song or album there's

1:20:08the old one that you get with ctrl click

1:20:10or right click whatever you want to call

1:20:11it and this new one where you just

1:20:13regular click on the Chevron button and

1:20:17that it's too you know entirely

1:20:19different list of things and one's a lot

1:20:22simpler ones a little bit more fiddly

1:20:24very elegant but it is to me though the

1:20:27new way where it's visual and you can at

1:20:29least see how to make come up

1:20:34well I i totally agree but I mean I had

1:20:36to be even even kinder I think and I

1:20:39think fairly so if you think about iOS

1:20:42one of the one of the things that Apple

1:20:45i think has gotten so right with iOS

1:20:48that others i don't know i can't say if

1:20:50others have I haven't spent much time on

1:20:52anything but an ipad or iphone but you

1:20:55know is that what i understand that

1:20:56there are a limited number of things

1:20:58that I can do here and and that there

1:21:01should be a limited number of things

1:21:02that i present the people here otherwise

1:21:04it's going to be completely overwhelming

1:21:06and so I don't know that this close

1:21:09chevron or whatever you call it go to

1:21:10the next level of stuff

1:21:12the only way you can really do stuff on

1:21:15some ass a little but you can either i'm

1:21:17not never can I can't tell you what the

1:21:18name of the views are but you could

1:21:20certainly have a kind of view where you

1:21:23get a list of stuff and then you can

1:21:25select things and do things to those but

1:21:27more often than not you're clicking that

1:21:28right disclosed button to to drill down

1:21:30into where you can do different sorts of

1:21:33things

1:21:34well now why is it so special and

1:21:35different because there's not really

1:21:37menus in the traditional sense on on

1:21:40your on your iOS device you can you

1:21:43don't have a like in this case

1:21:44highlighted view control store and

1:21:47window that might present be presented

1:21:48in some kind of tab way but that's

1:21:50usually like the last thing I would want

1:21:52to do and there are certainly far edge

1:21:55cases I refuse goodreader good reader so

1:21:57nerdy but so fine you can go in and look

1:21:59at your files on dropbox and you can go

1:22:02to the file man

1:22:02comments section click the file and say

1:22:04wow there's like 40 options it's so like

1:22:07you know like an engineer made it right

1:22:08you can open in you can zip this you can

1:22:11move this you can do all that stuff it

1:22:13gets to the point that's saying like

1:22:14only a power user would want that

1:22:15because most people don't know of or

1:22:17need most of those things and for better

1:22:20for worse the iOS is accommodating those

1:22:23limits limitations in the design

1:22:26principles so I mean I the the thing is

1:22:29I guess what I'm trying to get at is

1:22:30that in seeing these changes reflected

1:22:32in these design decisions reflected back

1:22:34into OS 10

1:22:35I wonder for a new person you just come

1:22:37in here and go I understand their stuff

1:22:40and the stuff is in different areas and

1:22:43once I get there and I get to the actual

1:22:45stuff there's almost always something I

1:22:46can do to it and if i get used to the

1:22:49idea that clicking on that chevron

1:22:51always means it can do things then

1:22:52that's great my god is that most power

1:22:55users are never going to click on those

1:22:56things are going to see that arrow I

1:22:58like you you're pretty good with

1:23:00computers and you didn't know about

1:23:01doing and playlists which tells me you

1:23:04did not spend a lot of time left

1:23:05clicking and or you know i just got this

1:23:09backwards because i use this track pad

1:23:11and a you know caps lock is why i still

1:23:13call it control-click yeah control

1:23:15clicking for his caps caps lock clicking

1:23:17but but you know you feel you know what

1:23:20I'm saying like for most people I think

1:23:21that the day into the danger not the

1:23:23danger think it's a little confusing

1:23:24about this is yes it's a new design we

1:23:26always we should always be open to a new

1:23:28design being better because this is a

1:23:30this is a group of companies that by and

1:23:32large we trust to make interesting and

1:23:34in good design decisions but there's a

1:23:36lot about it that that yes there's

1:23:38opposite like I'm just right now there's

1:23:39a lot of stuff you don't see until your

1:23:40mouse over it and then when you do mouse

1:23:42over it you're like what like I mouse

1:23:44over a song i now have exactly the same

1:23:46chevron for a song as I do for the album

1:23:49so what does that mean well just click

1:23:51and find out

1:23:51I've also got these for tiny little dots

1:23:54what is that well I know that's for I

1:23:56want to rate this right but I don't know

1:23:59very good is going to know that the

1:24:00truth is that i don't think most people

1:24:01are going to use any of that really

1:24:03generate your songs to write your songs

1:24:05i used to i would I wish we had another

1:24:09two hours because i have so much great

1:24:11itunes tip stuff to share but I I'm not

1:24:13big on ratings i am

1:24:15big on metadata and i use the play

1:24:21john sarkissian over here is this I I

1:24:22rely heavily on the implicit metadata of

1:24:25what exists in the songs and what is

1:24:27learned from my behavior so i would much

1:24:29rather count on

1:24:30I would watch for these skip count yeah

1:24:33and number of plays to make a playlist

1:24:35and i would buy is this two-and-a-half

1:24:37to four-and-a-half stars

1:24:39yeah exactly i wanted to show me you

1:24:41know you know it's just like good user

1:24:43testing right it's like yeah you should

1:24:45tell us the symptoms of how you use this

1:24:47but we're more interested in the signs

1:24:48with your behavior shows i almost trust

1:24:51itunes to start my songs more than

1:24:54myself and there are a few there's

1:24:56obviously you know it's like like raging

1:24:59bowl that grading bowl is a obviously

1:25:02one of the greatest movies ever made one

1:25:04of my favorites but you just can't watch

1:25:05it that often

1:25:06it's just too much right it takes a lot

1:25:08out of me to watch Raging Bull so my

1:25:10play count on raging bowl as a movie is

1:25:12going to be a lot lower than the Stars I

1:25:14would assign to it because I just can't

1:25:16take it

1:25:17it's i love i love and godspeed you

1:25:19black emperor with it which is this a

1:25:20band from Canada that makes these

1:25:22wonderful very long

1:25:24orchestral atmospheric ever seen at 28

1:25:26days later

1:25:27yes remember when the guy wakes up and

1:25:29he starts walking through the streets

1:25:30and you hear that like that very

1:25:32memorable cello like yeah that's

1:25:35godspeed you black emperor that's that's

1:25:37five star music that i do not want to

1:25:39hear 16 minutes at a time so skip count

1:25:42on that is kinda high but you can hack

1:25:44this right easily by and I don't derail

1:25:46this because it but i do have a lot of

1:25:48on this is like the way that I do

1:25:49playlist i think is pretty smart i do it

1:25:52very heavily upon like building the bit

1:25:55i have a whole bunch of I cloud-related

1:25:57smart playlists that I'd love to share

1:25:58with people because i think they could

1:25:59be a lifesaver

1:26:00but then I do a very heavily based upon

1:26:02the number of times that the ratings I

1:26:03mean what a ratings you have time to sit

1:26:05and write everything and what is that

1:26:06reading mean it'sit's not that much

1:26:08better than what you get on the itunes

1:26:10store what's good for what the gene i

1:26:13can tell you the genius break for you

1:26:16after iTunes Match initially when i

1:26:19first got on itunes magic is stopped

1:26:20working on my on my mac i guess it was

1:26:23there was enough on the computer for it

1:26:25to work

1:26:26yeah I don't know it gets like you for a

1:26:28while

1:26:28definitely definitely started working

1:26:30even in 10 i guess what's the last

1:26:32itunes at work this did start working

1:26:34again it was a revelation

1:26:35I don't know how the hell it does it

1:26:36that it's crazy all we've learned from

1:26:38collaborative filtering it works pretty

1:26:40great and I'll tell you the genius

1:26:43playlists are frequently way better than

1:26:45anything i would have come up with on my

1:26:46own

1:26:47yeah i agree with that and but I'd but I

1:26:48also think that's exactly why I think I

1:26:50trust itunes to write my songs for me I

1:26:53well you know just as a and then let me

1:26:55override it

1:26:56you know I'll tell you what's a

1:26:57super-duper rathole that still drives me

1:26:58crazy

1:26:59why doesn't it doesn't I RS know which

1:27:01apps that use the most

1:27:02why is there not an automatic Smart

1:27:04Folder for the apps that I use the most

1:27:07don't you think there should be a full

1:27:09Smart Folder I know this doesn't exist

1:27:11but shouldn't be a smart folder

1:27:12automatically populated in your dock

1:27:14with the five apps you use the most

1:27:16I'm sorry nine apps you use the most I

1:27:20definitely think so i think i think i

1:27:22don't think that the the visual

1:27:24presentation of as they call it spring

1:27:26board is at anyway problematic i know a

1:27:29lot of nerds want to put widgets and

1:27:30have also expensive i think my nandroid

1:27:33I think this idea that the the baseline

1:27:36of the iOS universe is a desktop you get

1:27:38to pick the background and it's just an

1:27:40organized list of your apps is the right

1:27:44concept i think the problem with

1:27:45springboard is the lack of organization

1:27:48features you know like moving apps

1:27:50around in that thing is makes me feel

1:27:52like I've got a job and that the line if

1:27:54you've done it right and like in my case

1:27:56i I'm sorry to say that i have more apps

1:27:59that can be shown right on

1:28:01and so what i do i start i joked about

1:28:03this not long ago i'll go to a page with

1:28:05a bunch of crap so I don't use it takes

1:28:07so long to delete at least when you do

1:28:10it through itunes when you connect the

1:28:11device and I guess you can select more

1:28:13than one at a time and move more than

1:28:14it's not two clicks it's not all those

1:28:16extra clicks and that but what i'll do

1:28:18is i'll create a drop on top of the

1:28:20other and say do you want to create the

1:28:22folder called productivity I no no it's

1:28:25called board 37 and so I just dropped

1:28:27chop and I guess nine apps or whatever

1:28:30it'll take right but I mean that that is

1:28:32it becomes so time-consuming and then

1:28:34what's crazy making is if there is an

1:28:35app in there that i use once a year and

1:28:37I do the search you know the go left and

1:28:40do the search

1:28:41I wish you could say show in folder or

1:28:44show on page and you know what yeah I

1:28:48know exactly I know exactly what you

1:28:49mean no because I am organized and I

1:28:51have organized everything into folders

1:28:53well then the folders lose their

1:28:54taxonomical significance if I don't have

1:28:56a way to find out

1:28:58it's its siblings know is I'd the thing

1:29:01you just described run into all the time

1:29:02where there's a certain app i realized i

1:29:04want to use one of them like for example

1:29:06a speed test where you might have one

1:29:10you might have one called internet

1:29:11utilities for example isn't a stand and

1:29:13I often you know when i get like a new

1:29:16device from Apple to you know like the

1:29:18new ipad mini comes out and i want to

1:29:20test the to see hey what's the LT is the

1:29:22LTE speeds just as fast as the iphone by

1:29:25getting different speeds or something

1:29:26that so now i haven't used to be tested

1:29:27a while but i want to use it and i think

1:29:29you know i used this thing enough that I

1:29:31I should move it up to a more prominent

1:29:34screen but i'll search for it on that

1:29:36search screen and then I want to know

1:29:38where the hell is I don't know where

1:29:39speed test is on my phone I don't really

1:29:41tells you that it's in a folder called

1:29:43travel I don't have no idea where it is

1:29:45so I'll just what I'll do is I'll just

1:29:48launch it from the the search page and

1:29:50give up on knowing where the hell is

1:29:52what i would ask right now is that they

1:29:54added something in six that's cool

1:29:56which is when you search if you have

1:29:58done the you know it's pretty cool

1:30:00disney magic that if you put two similar

1:30:02apps if you drop a nap on a similar app

1:30:04it's pretty cool that those notes that

1:30:05those are both music apps or travel

1:30:07option that's pretty that's pretty cool

1:30:08it's done that ever since they've had

1:30:09the folders feature if yeah but I mean

1:30:11it was gonna say that it's nice it's

1:30:13always been cool it guesses that well

1:30:14but will be nice and this is probably

1:30:16inner thing but when you do that search

1:30:18for speed test what we call that thing

1:30:20the search page whatever you them then

1:30:23your spotlight they might call it

1:30:24spotlight did you notice that it now

1:30:26shows you the name of the folder when it

1:30:28finds no I didn't know that so if you

1:30:30search for something to show you the

1:30:31name the folder now obviously the neck

1:30:33the great tell you what home screen

1:30:34that's on though I want to know what's

1:30:35going on homescreen aight well I wish

1:30:37there was just a disclosed button there

1:30:39would or a you know an i right or just

1:30:42show me love show it to me

1:30:43yeah but but you know that this is this

1:30:46is the one funny thing when I'm sure we

1:30:47don't have time to get into this but i

1:30:48want at least a stake in the ground

1:30:50I there's so much stuff like it's one

1:30:52thing to say okay I want to play list

1:30:54and of these songs that i liked or I

1:30:57want to make a mixtape for somebody as

1:30:59we used to say but there's so much power

1:31:01in smart playlists that most people have

1:31:03no idea about and they are absolutely

1:31:06indispensable if you're using iTunes

1:31:08Match like I have I have I have so many

1:31:11of these that I rely on one of them is

1:31:12here is all stuff that I know is

1:31:15copacetic in the cloud right and

1:31:19everything it's matched your purchase

1:31:20toward any of the matches these are any

1:31:22of these three criteria that first of

1:31:24all fantastic because you can see how

1:31:25much of your stuff is you know up there

1:31:28i have 14 problems

1:31:30show me any one where it is not you know

1:31:34is where it's deleted or problem or

1:31:36whatever it is but you know what I've

1:31:38got I've got one that I swear by this is

1:31:40a little byzantine but I take that is

1:31:45this safe in the cloud list and I use

1:31:48that as the basis for show me everything

1:31:50that's in my safe in the cloud list this

1:31:52larger than 15 mix and sort by size so

1:31:56if I'm running out of space

1:31:57I know that can very clear very quickly

1:32:00clear up three gigs by deleting

1:32:01everything in here without actually

1:32:03losing it forever and on my on my

1:32:06macbook air that's indispensable that I

1:32:08mean I feel that thing up fast if i put

1:32:10some HD movies on their right forgot I

1:32:13forgot a pre-bought to Bob brave and the

1:32:17brave plus special features is going to

1:32:19be like eight gigs or whatever things

1:32:20like that but then you can also get into

1:32:22these wonderful things where you can mix

1:32:24those less this should be a separate

1:32:25show i'm sorry but if you come up with

1:32:27the list that work for you like you know

1:32:29show me everything that I listen to more

1:32:31than 10 times it's not in children's

1:32:33music or holiday music or any of this

1:32:35array and has fewer than 5 skip counts

1:32:38wow that's actually a pretty great list

1:32:39doesn't matter what rating you gave it

1:32:41your going to hear songs that you like

1:32:43so if you can combine those together you

1:32:46come up with these fantastic on-the-go

1:32:47list for iOS and that stuff is all still

1:32:51in here

1:32:51I don't think it's super obvious how to

1:32:53use all that a lot of people don't know

1:32:54that you can make like sub list entries

1:32:56inside of smart playlist you know what I

1:32:58mean yeah where you can have a raise and

1:32:59a raise or whatever right but you like

1:33:03it i do anything about the second spot

1:33:06sir I can tell you another repeat

1:33:10sponsor and repeat sponsors make me so

1:33:12happy because it makes me feel like

1:33:13they're part of the talk show family our

1:33:15friends at global delight and their app

1:34:04options for grid lines so you could turn

1:34:06on the rule of thirds you can set on

1:34:08some other options for the gridlines you

1:34:10can turn on the mode they call it big

1:34:12button mode where the whole screen is

1:34:14the shutter right never have that

1:34:16problem with the built-in camera app or

1:34:18that there's only like two pixels that

1:34:19registers you don't want to use you

1:34:21don't want to like if you use this

1:34:22inward facing camera you can hit the

1:34:24button but if you tried it from the

1:34:25other side it's a real you know talking

1:34:27about your portrait exactly big button

1:34:30it helps so much for that right because

1:34:32you all you have to know if you feel

1:34:33glass it's a shutter button

1:34:35they've also you know they've got the

1:34:37same thing that the photo app has

1:34:39everybody has now you can use the volume

1:34:40button as a shutter

1:34:42you can also use the volume button on a

1:34:43headphone if it's attached so it's sort

1:34:46of like what do they call that Dad

1:34:48photography terms are remote shutter

1:34:50button really James Bond make you do

1:34:52that I on the video side now here's

1:34:55where they're really getting in a realm

1:34:56where these are some of that really

1:34:58advanced features they got done the

1:35:00video side you can shoot videos with

1:35:01camera+ pro with real-time video filters

1:35:04so you can get and now you know and

1:35:06again i always say this i know people

1:35:08are some people are against the filters

1:35:10some of the filters yeah a little bit

1:35:11kitschy a little bit retro some of the

1:35:13filters are just you know really make it

1:35:15look a little bit more like

1:35:16movie you know more filmic I think some

1:35:18of the filters are really great but you

1:35:20can see them live I don't even know how

1:35:22that to me this is black magic i don't i

1:35:24don't know how a little iphone thing can

1:35:27can do live video filtering as you shoot

1:35:30but it works

1:35:31that's the thing that blew me away about

1:35:32these guys at macworld last year's I

1:35:36think it got them the best to show at

1:35:37macworld expose that they were they had

1:35:40this app that did video filters you know

1:35:41I Instagram style histogram style

1:35:44whatever you want to call it but live as

1:35:47you shoot the video i had no idea that

1:35:48existed i love this happened had no idea

1:35:50that accepted and it doesn't seem

1:35:52mathematically possible to me but it

1:35:54works

1:35:54I sharing you could share to facebook

1:35:57twitter flickr anyplace you want to send

1:36:00photos they have a feature I don't know

1:36:02why anybody would ever want to use such

1:36:04a feature but they have a feature where

1:36:05you can have a private collection of

1:36:07photos within the app that's

1:36:08password-protected i don't know i mean

1:36:11it seems like something somebody would

1:36:12want to use I don't yes a sensitive

1:36:14government data

1:36:15exactly that's a good idea but i use it

1:36:17i like it it's got some great if you

1:36:19know and it's a dude on the whole bunch

1:36:22of filters that you can use one of my

1:36:23fam other favorite things about their

1:36:24filters is that when you apply a filter

1:36:26to a photo I have a little slider that

1:36:29just let you adjust the filter strength

1:36:31so if you say give it the bleach bypass

1:36:34filter and it really has this sort of

1:36:37absurdly strong filter look to it if you

1:36:41think that's too much you can just slide

1:36:43that down a little bit and just to put

1:36:44it like thirty percent or something like

1:36:46that and it just gives it a hint of that

1:36:48look which i think is a just a great

1:36:50feature really really helps sort of let

1:36:54you feel like you're in control of it

1:36:56and it like a real app like lightroom or

1:36:58something like that on your Mac here's

1:37:02how do you get it I know that's what

1:37:03you're wondering

1:37:04you ever hear the website bit ly I know

1:39:14some stuff we could cut we keep talking

1:39:15about how you have apple news kind of

1:39:17cattail people one more thing

1:39:19yeah what do you want to talk about I

1:39:20feel like you have some self what you

1:39:21want to say well I'm gonna mention more

1:39:23slightly items related thing now

1:39:24now i'm a a reformed retired adjunct

1:39:27productivity guy of some renown I must

1:39:31say and for her for years

1:39:34one of the i use this is an example i

1:39:36always use notebooks as an exact great

1:39:38example of productivity porn and the

1:39:39idea that if you focus too much on the

1:39:40notebook

1:39:41he won't do your stuff the other example

1:39:42in terms of like stuff I do and I

1:39:44mention that because i'm a notebook nerd

1:39:46like I love field notes i love all these

1:39:47notes the other one for me is is

1:39:49metadata I am so pointlessly obsessed

1:39:52with correct metadata and things and it

1:39:55drives me bananas and even for a long

1:39:57time I there are various other various

1:39:59different ways to use this but running

1:40:00people wear something that's really cool

1:40:02and it's free think it's free

1:40:03musicbrainz mean mu SE pyaar ki NZ

1:40:07believe it's musicbrainz dork but if you

1:40:10google musicbrainz you will find it it

1:40:12has the most exhaustive set of metadata

1:40:14about anything I've ever seen you don't

1:40:16want to go to shot just for fun so

1:40:18here's the neat part though a you go in

1:40:20and search musicbrainz for tom petty

1:40:23it's because they are some petty you

1:40:25click on Tom Petty this is ok show me

1:40:26the torpedoes ok yourselves repeat rows

1:40:28wait a minute you're telling me that

1:40:30there's a will that be nineteen eighty

1:40:32that there's like all that whatever the

1:40:34whatever came out 1980 versus on this

1:40:39label that's an LP but there's also a

1:40:41version that came out later on with

1:40:43bonus tracks on a CD and is also never

1:40:45it doesn't drive you crazy when you have

1:40:47to when you want to get that metadata

1:40:49right on stuff but there's like four

1:40:51extra tracks and their itunes confused

1:40:54well this is that all that stuff is in

1:40:55there which is amazing but here's the

1:40:57beauty part you can download this app

1:40:59called things called musicbrainz picard

1:41:01like you like Professor X Picard and you

1:41:05get on the download strong luke and you

1:41:07drag tracks into this and it applies all

1:41:11that metadata to your tracks for you

1:41:13downtown your name in the files

1:41:15how do you get that you just go to a

1:41:18good search for musicbrainz picard and

1:41:20it's not the prettiest kind of swing

1:41:22looking kind of you know python looking

1:41:24but it works well and you go in and say

1:41:27you just throw a big bunch of stuff in

1:41:29there

1:41:29I think it's better to start out like I

1:41:31just to get a get your legs under you

1:41:33put it like grab there's some album

1:41:35where you've got to get you throw a

1:41:37nightmare on elm street whatever the

1:41:40stones records you like throw that in

1:41:41there and then tell it everything in

1:41:43this group make this the costly released

1:41:48edition from a couple years ago and say

1:41:50okay got it all

1:41:51boom because the correct stuff it enters

1:41:53in the composer data

1:41:54you like everything that it can and then

1:41:56they make sure i can so much more fun to

1:41:58use it sounds crazy but if you get stuff

1:42:01you can it'll improve stuff like your

1:42:03stuff you bought from Apple too little

1:42:05ad better stuff to that anyway I just it

1:42:08organizes better it makes your playlist

1:42:10better

1:42:10it drives me nuts will not help it will

1:42:13help with album art for missing album

1:42:14art I think it will help in the Senate

1:42:19I'm trying to remember you can get album

1:42:20art for I know there are other apps that

1:42:21do that used to be one called mp3

1:42:26someone I used to use but there's always

1:42:30been little apps like this if nothing

1:42:31else it'll make sure that it has

1:42:32normalized as John siracusa says

1:42:34normalized metadata that will be correct

1:42:37and help you find hopefully the right

1:42:39one have a common except that does that

1:42:41but I guess what I'm kind of getting at

1:42:44is like one of two things first of all

1:42:45like there's nice we have so much stuff

1:42:47now that labeling stuff incorrectly has

1:42:50a cost to it even if it's silly stuff

1:42:52like music because stuff like duplicates

1:42:54because you can send more than one

1:42:56version itunes match as i learned i have

1:42:58arrived as i click around yesterday

1:43:00looking for screenshots and stuff

1:43:02I don't realize just how many duplicate

1:43:04just like duplicates and display exact

1:43:06duplicates is only so helpful in a first

1:43:08of all it doesn't work all that great

1:43:10and be it doesn't automatically pick

1:43:11what to get rid of

1:43:12well if you find the correct version and

1:43:14prefer this certain bit rain so forth it

1:43:17gets a lot easier to do that i'm

1:43:18actually have an app that i like that

1:43:19will help with that a lot i have one of

1:43:21those for iphoto that I like a lot but

1:43:23first of all yes

1:43:24hey there's a cost not having this

1:43:26correct because you know example case be

1:43:29i'm on iOS and suddenly i have four

1:43:32different artist called electric light

1:43:34orchestra which makes it really annoying

1:43:36well I happen to like yellow but you

1:43:39know what I'm saying like you go in

1:43:40there now and your stuff isn't all in

1:43:41the same place so you can make lists as

1:43:43easily you're going to go back to your

1:43:44computer and fix all of that some people

1:43:46on iOS you know maybe don't even have

1:43:49that option but we do if we're always 10

1:43:51users and this is a great ones of the

1:43:53card one of my pics pic of the week and

1:43:56your you strike me somebody's probably

1:43:58not a big metadata guy you don't spend a

1:44:00morning on that i can i can get IQ get i

1:44:03can get into it for the stuff that

1:44:05matters to you it's great like all I do

1:44:07we did all my

1:44:08new order stuff and fixed up all my new

1:44:10order stuff make sure the tracks come

1:44:11from the right thing and instead of me

1:44:13having to sit there in search 10 sites

1:44:15to find which of these five versions of

1:44:16ceremony this is it will do it for you

1:44:18and it's pretty terrific it can also do

1:44:21an acoustic fingerprint it will look at

1:44:23if it doesn't if you have no idea what

1:44:25the track is you throw in your unknown

1:44:26whatever that you know that one checked

1:44:30folder you have called unknown sort of

1:44:33whatever it couldn't it'll take a shot

1:44:35take a swag and doing an acoustic

1:44:37footprint to figure out what it is huh

1:44:39so as more of your let's say a hundred

1:44:41and twenty-eight k plus stuff makes it

1:44:43way it makes its way into the itunes

1:44:45ecosystem this will benefit you even

1:44:48just take you here you go make a smart

1:44:50playlist of your most played albums and

1:44:52just even fix those and make your life

1:44:53better

1:44:54so it's good and something I'll share my

1:44:57our my smart playlist with you you have

1:45:00those did you do smart playlist for

1:45:01iTunes Match I for iTunes Match like I

1:45:07was really scared to throw stuff away

1:45:09until I was really I mean I was scared I

1:45:11knew that I didn't have to have a 65 gig

1:45:14itunes library on every machine anymore

1:45:17swimming and i wanted to i want to have

1:45:19the confidence to delete stuff

1:45:21especially with movies dude I mean I had

1:45:25it set to automatically download like I

1:45:27say with brave i mean brave was big

1:45:30you know that SP that's one of the

1:45:32things that to me is unheralded about

1:45:33the new itunes 11 is there now are under

1:45:36Harold at least is that they've finally

1:45:38they more or less than the same thing

1:45:40with movies and TV shows as they did

1:45:41with music where if you bought it from

1:45:43apple it's you can just delete it from

1:45:46your computer and it still shows up and

1:45:48it's just like you know it's in this

1:45:50oh you know the other thing they added

1:45:52but I'm this actually supports I think

1:45:54rather than refutes that he did you see

1:45:57you now have an overall tick-box 44

1:46:01don't show so you know it like for

1:46:04example on iOS you can go in and say

1:46:06only show local music don't show iCloud

1:46:08music that's not on this ya ice

1:46:10yeah you can do that now in itunes also

1:46:12without a smart playlist which is huge

1:46:15if you're on vacation right because

1:46:17you're not don't don't tease me with the

1:46:18shit I can't play well here's the thing

1:46:21II when you're on vacation you won't

1:46:23find out you don't have it but a if

1:46:25you're not a vacation yet you might want

1:46:27to go and be sure you've got everything

1:46:28you want on there right so that's a nice

1:46:31one I mean that's a nice feature because

1:46:32not everybody's going to care about that

1:46:34or need that you know it's we always

1:46:36have to think about the people who are

1:46:38the new customers where is that growth

1:46:39coming from

1:46:40well you know there's not that many

1:46:42people certainly there are nervous

1:46:43they're gonna buy 5 iPad and 7i phones

1:46:45but clearly this growth is among people

1:46:47who have not been in the apple ecosystem

1:46:49before right

1:46:50I'm i think is back it gets back to the

1:46:52one of my rolled refrains which is that

1:46:55it's really almost everything is hard if

1:46:59it wasn't part of the original idea and

1:47:01the whole cloud thing was not part of

1:47:02the original idea with itunes and it

1:47:04really felt it with all the other

1:47:06previous versions whereas this new

1:47:08redesign really was and you know part of

1:47:10it you can be completely cynical about

1:47:12which is that it's also very largely

1:47:15about getting you to buy more stuff from

1:47:16the store but it you know just starting

1:47:20from the blank white board when they

1:47:22started designing with this new one was

1:47:24gonna look like it click they clearly

1:47:26had that a lot of this stuff the

1:47:28canonical store for it is our servers

1:47:31and you know I cloud wherever the hell

1:47:33they are as opposed to the old itunes

1:47:36where that the cloud stuff really was it

1:47:39both effectively and visually sort

1:47:42attacked on MH now you're i think i

1:47:45think you're right and you know the the

1:47:47cash to completely unexpected part of

1:47:49all this for me is apple TV her which I

1:47:52treated as as much of a hobby as Apple

1:47:53did for a long time but when I got the

1:47:56have the 720p the second latest one

1:47:58right

1:47:59same here I it is unbelievable i say i

1:48:03did a whole couple podcast about this

1:48:06about how I moved away from my old

1:48:07system having a mac mini and drove to do

1:48:10everything I still got them around but

1:48:12it's crazy how little i miss having a

1:48:14dedicated large storage device

1:48:18you know I mean I mean yes absolutely i

1:48:20am you know what I was drinking the

1:48:22other night about a copy of phantasm

1:48:23using phantasm it brings about remember

1:48:27that scary a commercial and is that orb

1:48:30like there's even a mausoleum and you

1:48:32see that the or with the little

1:48:33you can google it yeah the orb with the

1:48:36spike coming out of that goes in the

1:48:37guy's head and pulls out this blood

1:48:38spurts out just great low budget horror

1:48:40film from 1979 and described and then it

1:48:43was on my iPad in a few minutes that

1:48:45that they have created starting with the

1:48:48early days of the itunes store and being

1:48:49able to buy I mean to me now that

1:48:51pattern has become so ingrained that it

1:48:54competes very heavily with the

1:48:56pre-existing habit of just going and

1:48:57getting it off the back of a truck

1:48:59I I feel great being legit with it but

1:49:01it's also just more convenient not

1:49:03knowing that this is not going to have

1:49:04hard-coded dutch subs whatever those are

1:49:06but this will be like a good version of

1:49:08this that i can get from anywhere right

1:49:10you know the best copy the Avengers I've

1:49:12got is the one that I paid for and

1:49:14that's the thing that's really that's a

1:49:15good thing hasn't happened for you I

1:49:18mean Europe you use it seems like this

1:49:20must have been big for you guys too

1:49:21especially you got a kid too

1:49:23yeah I wish we had more of our movies on

1:49:25itunes then then dvds and stuff like

1:49:27that maybe the after dark all table

1:49:30something called I flex or play with

1:49:31that I I don't know

1:49:34ok I flac KS just saying I fli x ck x

1:49:40its yeah its metadata in place without

1:49:43having to recreate code and if it's an

1:49:45MKV whatever that is it can put a

1:49:47quicktime wrapper around it that lets it

1:49:49run right in itunes good thing

1:50:35decided that it was a bad scene it

1:50:38how about shields and we're going to

1:50:39Rickenbacker's right my opinion there's

1:50:41been several times I'd so you decided to

1:50:43spend like the three walk that there's

1:50:45like a three block walk

1:50:47between the two bars are going to catch

1:50:48up and talk about our lives we decided

1:50:50to explain quicks it goes next click

1:51:12was it was you guys literally turn your

1:51:15backs and walked away but I also

1:51:17remember to that where we had previously

1:51:19all been on the same track we've been

1:51:21having a good time and then all of a

1:51:22sudden you took the b train and we took

1:51:24the seat man that's there's a reason i

1:51:28didn't get to sit at the lunch table

1:51:29with the cool kids actually just about

1:51:3130 reasons but I feel any battery

1:51:37feeling better having done this is it

1:51:39that you can get your head clear out a

1:51:40little over this cold i just don't maybe

1:51:43some time talking talking about your

1:51:45event feel a little better yeah

1:51:46absolutely but i don't have to see that

1:51:48is my that's my cue asked what my cold

1:51:50medicine of choice my cold medicine of

1:51:51choice is bourbon and because that's you

1:51:54know what if you will go and look at a

1:51:56lot of the medicines that are out there

1:51:57you know what it is it's alcohol there

1:51:59that's the truth we're still it's

1:52:01something that used to be useful because

1:52:02it had alcohol and now they took it's

1:52:04like it's like good like caffeine free

1:52:07diet coke like I don't understand what

1:52:08you're what you're drinking at that

1:52:09point you know in this case this used to

1:52:11be all about the liquor and now it's

1:52:13just something you buy a pharmacy that's

1:52:15a you know just some kind of useless

1:52:17tincture right what's the proof of

1:52:18nyquil I guess whether you feel better

1:52:21well but what's that

1:52:24back sorry I don't know what the proof

1:52:32is our kitty dukakis she's a rubbing

1:52:34alcohol lady right I what did she turn

1:52:38was it running on the same running out i

1:52:39don't think i might have been yeah yeah

1:52:41i think it was a shame i shouldn mission

1:52:43trip

1:52:43no that's not funny now he lost the

1:52:45election that's not funny right there

1:52:47would be pretty funny that she paid the

1:52:48White House just drinking a flower pots

1:52:51and shit caucus who

1:52:55that's a bummer bummer that that becomes

1:52:57your file card you know like that

1:52:59becomes

1:53:00like your one fast yeah like you David

1:53:02Carradine was was was going to be

1:53:04remembered as the guy from that show

1:53:05where they can get Bruce Lee that was

1:53:07pretty cool

1:53:07yeah it's the antibiotic there was a way

1:53:09he was a white guy who could do pretty

1:53:11cool karate in one chunk Norris he could

1:53:14pull off a nation right yeah and then

1:53:17you know things just went a little south

1:53:20one night right

1:53:21that is true yeah and there's some guys

1:53:24who can outlive it you know i mean like

1:53:25Elvis Elvis is a big enough guy

1:53:28where ya he he died ignominiously but

1:53:31that's just like an asterisk like a sad

1:53:33little yeah like element Beatles were

1:53:35big enough that we can remember them in

1:53:37different ways like they don't even

1:53:38remember when the stamps came out and

1:53:39like shouldn't be young Elvis or fat

1:53:41Elvis but there's not that many people

1:53:43like maybe Liz Taylor but there aren't

1:53:45that many people apart from people like

1:53:47them in the beatles where you get to go

1:53:49oh yeah there's the paul mccartney from

1:53:50this time in that time Elvis man

1:53:55yeah but like David Carradine he's a guy

1:53:58who's sort of that's a shame

1:54:00yeah I love that show 1989 Dukakis was

1:54:04briefly hospitalized after drinking

1:54:05rubbing alcohol rubbing alcohol running

1:54:07or thats that's rough

1:54:09that is rough and no i don't i can't

1:54:11think of any mixers that would make that

1:54:12a good thing for me yeah I don't think

1:54:14there's anything happen with that either

1:54:15you think cops n kids today a/c they

1:54:18would get it like an artisanal run right

1:54:20at all

1:54:20artisan okay yeah it would be alcohol do

1:54:23ribbing and it would be like guys like
