00:07:38   time and they're still selling some very [TS]

00:07:40   old things and then there's this is [TS]

00:08:13   every year every six months oh you know [TS]

00:08:15   there's a lot of talk about that kind of [TS]

00:08:17   thing but so does that mean that there [TS]

00:08:20   that they're pushing everybody into a [TS]

00:08:21   bluetooth only music listenings not [TS]

00:08:23   exactly [TS]

00:08:24   ok the new the new iphones that don't [TS]

00:08:28   headphones earphones that will work with [TS]

00:08:32   the existing lightning adapter they also [TS]

00:08:34   have new wireless ones that are [TS]

00:08:35   bluetooth like that are kind of [TS]

00:08:37   innovative neat i'm sure they will not [TS]

00:08:38   fit my tiny ears but that's beside the [TS]

00:08:40   point [TS]

00:08:41   yeah they're trying to try to move way [TS]

00:08:43   it's also the new phone is water [TS]

00:08:44   resistant which would have been great [TS]

00:08:46   three days ago when my daughter poured [TS]

00:08:48   an entire bottle of water in my wife's [TS]

00:08:49   purse [TS]

00:08:50   oh yeah and ruined her phone oh yeah and [TS]

00:09:00   because i'm a perspire sticking your [TS]

00:09:02   sock [TS]

00:09:02   no I'm not afraid of being the jacked [TS]

00:09:06   although you know the story of my family [TS]

00:09:08   is that my grandfather [TS]

00:09:10   when he split town when I 1467 whatever [TS]

00:09:15   figures and didn't come back right [TS]

00:09:17   he hopped a freight as part of his [TS]

00:09:19   hoboing because this would have been [TS]

00:09:21   1936 oh that's the height of 50 times he [TS]

00:09:24   apparently did keep his money in his [TS]

00:09:27   bottom but it is very hopeful but it's [TS]

00:09:31   very noble [TS]

00:09:32   wait a minute you mean is I can't [TS]

00:09:33   confirm to you mean in this prison jar [TS]

00:09:35   that but it is so so little bit [TS]

00:09:39   you did it so if i have my often in a [TS]

00:09:42   big rock candy mountains and shit you [TS]

00:09:46   want out of me back not the sock okay [TS]

00:09:48   you're back now find in a big rock candy [TS]

00:09:52   mountain and yeah I'm here you there [TS]

00:09:54   yeah you went out for a minute are you [TS]

00:09:57   somewhere different it's not even [TS]

00:09:58   keeping his sake kept it somewhere else [TS]

00:10:00   in the big rock candy mountain and I [TS]

00:10:03   know there's no point asking these are [TS]

00:10:05   you on wife let's read never mind don't [TS]

00:10:09   answer please answer in the big rock [TS]

00:10:11   candy mountain and it's so so grandpa [TS]

00:10:16   goes out for cigarettes and he's got [TS]

00:10:19   money in his body's getting his whole [TS]

00:10:20   bottom apparently but I don't you know [TS]

00:10:22   now that I'm thinking about it there's [TS]

00:10:24   never there was never a situation where [TS]

00:10:26   some or some like a hobo colonel came [TS]

00:10:30   back and said I your father kept this [TS]

00:10:32   watching his bottom right right that's [TS]

00:10:36   not the kind of thing that gets written [TS]

00:10:37   down in the in the family bible know so [TS]

00:10:39   I don't even know where I heard that and [TS]

00:10:41   I don't know I can't confirm you know [TS]

00:10:44   what I mean that that's that's even less [TS]

00:10:45   that sounds like a record that sounds [TS]

00:10:47   like a speculation [TS]

00:10:48   yeah that's even at that that's right a [TS]

00:10:50   speculum ation who uh there's there's no [TS]

00:10:54   way anybody could have known that [TS]

00:10:55   because it's not the type of thing he [TS]

00:10:57   would have said so let's just scratch [TS]

00:11:00   let's strike that from the record but he [TS]

00:11:02   might have had like a hundred-dollar [TS]

00:11:03   bill with them i think so or a gold [TS]

00:11:05   calling because I'm sure [TS]

00:11:06   gold coins right you would put a [TS]

00:11:09   hundred-dollar bill in a glass vial and [TS]

00:11:11   put it up there that could end badly [TS]

00:11:14   no I think it's probably gold coin he [TS]

00:11:15   had to you [TS]

00:11:16   I don't mean to dear tables ok so I I'm [TS]

00:11:20   not reading into this something that's [TS]

00:11:21   not actually there you're saying yeah [TS]

00:11:23   but money maybe I well I've heard that [TS]

00:11:26   but again i'm going to check with my mom [TS]

00:11:29   and see if if that's a story that [TS]

00:11:31   because it on the one hand it's not a [TS]

00:11:33   thing I i can picture him saying but on [TS]

00:11:36   the other hand it might also be [TS]

00:11:38   something that he brought up at the [TS]

00:11:39   dinner table [TS]

00:11:40   so what did he ever come back oh yeah I [TS]

00:11:42   came back I mean my great-grandfather [TS]

00:11:44   you have cigarettes he did my [TS]

00:11:47   great-grandfather at a certain point [TS]

00:11:49   look down at the five-year-old and [TS]

00:11:53   three-year-old that he was raising and [TS]

00:11:56   said this is bullshit and he threw them [TS]

00:11:58   in the back of his 1934 chevy and drove [TS]

00:12:01   from Ohio to California in that be [TS]

00:12:04   36-38 drove across the country on route [TS]

00:12:09   66 with these kids and according to my [TS]

00:12:11   mom that they spent the whole drive [TS]

00:12:13   sitting up on the package shelf of the [TS]

00:12:15   back of the Chevy drove all the way out [TS]

00:12:17   there drove around California asking [TS]

00:12:19   people have you seen this guy found him [TS]

00:12:23   and said get your ass back to Ohio and [TS]

00:12:26   raise your goddamn kids [TS]

00:12:28   damn how why grow that's family what [TS]

00:12:32   yeah my great-grandfather was nobody to [TS]

00:12:33   mess around he's the one that like was [TS]

00:12:35   putting a new roof on his own barn at [TS]

00:12:37   the age of 92 Jesus old stock pioneer [TS]

00:12:41   stock [TS]

00:12:41   yeah now let's get back to the question [TS]

00:12:44   at hand [TS]

00:12:45   yeah if I have my iphone plugged into my [TS]

00:12:48   lightning adapter [TS]

00:12:50   yeah I got it gets so much more [TS]

00:12:51   interesting I cannot listen to it on my [TS]

00:12:55   headphones now if it's if it's being [TS]

00:12:57   charged it used to be a kind of human [TS]

00:13:01   centipede that right you have it plugged [TS]

00:13:03   in [TS]

00:13:04   you have to get a daisy chaining huh [TS]

00:13:06   yeah you can have plugged into the [TS]

00:13:07   adapter and the sound is coming out the [TS]

00:13:10   other end into your headphones yeah then [TS]

00:13:13   what you do with that sound is up to you [TS]

00:13:15   we're talking about you go out and [TS]

00:13:16   violin these Newlands yeah if you want [TS]

00:13:18   by one of the new ones and it's and the [TS]

00:13:20   battery is low which isn't available [TS]

00:13:21   available we will be when you plug it [TS]

00:13:23   into the lightning adapter that is also [TS]

00:13:25   where you are expected to plug your [TS]

00:13:26   headphones [TS]

00:13:27   yeah it comes with an adapter which I [TS]

00:13:30   think was actually strangely brave of [TS]

00:13:32   them are nearly Apple would go and we [TS]

00:13:34   got rid of this thing because you never [TS]

00:47:24   big part of it [TS]

00:47:27   Apple has done the thing and we all know [TS]

00:47:29   this and they've done it now for for [TS]

00:47:31   more than a decade a decade-and-a-half [TS]

00:47:59   one thing that you could connect to [TS]

00:48:01   their devices with from the analog but [TS]

00:48:04   in any case which is a which as I say it [TS]
