[TS]
00:01:06

worst possible time for a storm to hit in terms of maybe getting a day off of

◼

idea of what kind of thing would happen like any given week you know and also i

[TS]
00:03:36

[TS]
00:03:41
◼

it is in my nose it's in my my forehead

00:03:44
◼

◼
►
morning and I felt horrible
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
I mean just that I was like I think i'm sick or something and my whole body felt
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
like maybe I had signed up for the gym the day before and and decided i would
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
do everything we had the overall like body soreness and heaviness all without
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
I mean real real I mean like my legs hurt I felt like I I was you know maybe
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
I put on a hundred pounds and my legs weren't suited to to carry this much
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
weight up and down the stairs
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
my arms hurt everything that was you know it it and muscle ache you know like
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
like I had gone to the gym at you know that
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
and worked out after never having lifted weights in my life and and overall every
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
muscle in my body hurt ya headache
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
clearly i felt like i had a fever I always sensed it to me or not a cold
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
that I think that's the flu
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
mhm I mean what are the other options i mean what it would have a call me maybe
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
you got a differential differential diagnosis
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
mmm yeah no I is funny to say like for me I totally agree
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
I at like if something starts for me and always starts with an A
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
oh and uh oh I get a cold it's usually like oh my throat doesn't hurt
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
exactly but my throat feels weird that's the first thing is like swallowing
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
doesn't hurt exactly but I noticed swallowing that's the first 0 red flag
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
but what you're describing is something really similar maybe a month and a half
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
ago maybe a little longer and I woke up and I was like oh I'm getting the flu
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
I'm definitely getting the flu and this is gonna go out maybe like a Saturday or
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
something or friday anyway and then the thing was it kinda presented as being
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
flu-like I didn't have any of the you know the tiny stuff but i had i did feel
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
like really heavy really tired and then it turned into what felt like a minute
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
look within a day and felt like I was getting over a cold within a day so I
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
wonder if there's some kind of a new hybrid cold flu that might be out there
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
and I think that sometimes you can get lucky and get a mild case of the flu
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
like I realized that if you really get whacked right right square you know
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
right now it's not right in the bullseye by the moving you're down for like two
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
weeks and that's that's terrible it's been years since I've had something like
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
this but this is clearly not a cold you really understand the difference
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
not really i don't either I i say that are you say something so we
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
self-diagnosed like I self-diagnose you can get like ants can get a little cold
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
or or you go like oh man I'm coming down with the flu are you going yeah if I got
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
a 24-hour bug I don't know any of that actually it's what I do with my daughter
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
to was my daughter
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
I'm the house shaman like I'm the one who tries to predict like how much this
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
is going to destroy as you know as soon as a kid seconds you know game over
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
everybody will get sick and it's going to be the worst and so i'll go like okay
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
with my my rattles in my headdress and my beads and i'll be like me
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
hmm Eleanor will be fine in by sunday afternoon i'll make a pronouncement it's
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
really right but then sometimes it is just weird I feel like colds and flus
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
are changing i feel like it used to be you knew how long you're gonna get sick
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
i think something has mutated and it's changing it might be the water it could
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
be meets but I think stuff is changing for when i was a kid i I've always felt
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
like it's at the difference between the two things it's you know it's all
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
nebulous to me it's a lot of the symptoms overlap but i did I googled it
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
again and you know Here I am looking to get inside think about it
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
yeah google it I mean there's no better way to get expert medical advice but
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
there's like a checklist on the WebMD and they're like a cold you know often
[TS]
00:07:30
◼
►
comes on slowly you know you like you said you get that heads up you you have
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
that day we were like oh my god I think feel like there's a fifty percent chance
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
I'm gonna be sick and shit you feel you getting like twenty percent you're
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
getting like eight percent worse every hour like fairly consistently you know
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
what I'll tell you what a big telltale sign of a cold from his big telltale
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
sign like the 24 hour advance notice like Here I am
[TS]
00:07:52

[TS]
00:07:56

[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
you're ignoring it you're trying to throw yourself off the scent but that's
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
probably as scientists we can look at this and say that's probably a little
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
bit about sent it's got to have to do with your sense of smell it might have
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
to do with like your throat not feeling so good but your body is telling you
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
you're gonna get sick buddy
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
yeah and it's like something my tongue you know any other thing in in advance
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
is it something acidic like orange juice will will start stinging the back of my
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
throat like I don't have a sore throat yet but like something acidic like
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
orange juice does it doesn't go down doesn't it isn't pleasurable as I
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
swallow and that's to me is like who the next day
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
see and that they say that's a cold that called you have advanced warning and a
[TS]
00:08:56
◼
►
seldom has a fever seldom has a headache and I I had a terrible fever i would I
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
didn't take a measurement of it I don't have a thermometer i would estimate my
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
fever on on Wednesday and an overnight going in tomorrow I would estimated
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
around $MONEY hundred and seven
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
oh that's pretty high
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
well I well I tell you what I'd but I think the reason I felt started feeling
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
better yesterday I think I sweated it out
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
I think I sweated this flew out of my body because I'll tell you what I woke
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
up I woke up yesterday morning and it was like I was like a grease-stained
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
every single thing you're mentioning I don't know if there's any basis in
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
science or medicine for describing but I thought all of those things when I was a
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
little kid he had a fever you had to stay in bed until you could sweat it out
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
is that a thing I think it is i don't believe right eye and I know it's
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
different with small children with small children you worry don't think you want
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
to like a hundred and fourteen oh yeah they're aching and you want to take care
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
of that because I could you know that's serious business but i think is it as an
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
adult you don't say I don't take anything to be to take you know take the
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
fever down whatever I feel like your body wants to have a fever then let it
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
go it you know you'll sweat this out let me ask you this
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
I think what I don't speak for you but I feel like anyone who has kids can agree
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
that its children the cause illness because a little disgusting sponges
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
actually touch everything that each other kids boogers on a dare and and
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
then they rub around on the playground and then they come home and bring that
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
into your home
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
do you have a sense let me ask you this is a factual question do you know what
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
your schools rule is for when you should or should not send your kid to school
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
that's an excellent question i don't i think Amy would probably know a little
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
bit more but it-it-it
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
it is in the modern age and you know I I mean this goes back decades i think when
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
you and I were kids were at the pivot point of this clearly before our time
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
there was a stay-at-home parent and a lot of households usually obviously the
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
mother and you know in today's world there are you know it's not so many
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
stay-at-home parents and also i mean like i can tell you are my my daughter
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
is in you know enrichment and aftercare until usually through for every day but
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
their kids were there till dark there did they have six like the parents need
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
those both parents are working there is no one to take care of that kid unless
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
someone doesn't get paid right and so I actually I don't know the rules but i
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
know that a lot of kids go when I probably shouldn't and probably when the
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
parents kind of wish that they could leave him home but that it is such an
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
enormous a thing to untangle from to if you don't send the kids to school what
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
do you do and and you know and a lot of times it pops up it only pops up in the
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
morning you know when you wake up and it's you know you might have meetings
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
you have stuff so I i am super sympathetic to that I don't know and I
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
know that the school's rules for this is is not very well I'll tell you what ours
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
are so first of all to your point I think the pendulum has swung i think
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
that i think that there was a time you know in the post you know Benjamin Spock
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
era where we want to toughen up our kids not turn turn them into cities and
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
dancers and so you sent him to school you gotta send it yeah you gotta go to
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
school don't matter how sick you are and then I think I feel like from from for
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
me in the last I want to even want to have a job in the nineties they made it
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
very clear to people you know don't come to work if you're sick because you make
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
other people sick
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
we never used to talk about that you just be you had to be home because you
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
were ill but then there's the sense of no let's be more you know the pendulum
[TS]
00:12:23
◼
►
swings that way you say like oh no let's not make other people sick
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
it's my understanding today and I am I get this wrong but I believe this is
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
correct because i don't like going to school and see how much it's not
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
yeah makes me out i hate those kids who are just walking down the hallway and
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
coughing I get all like Howard Hughes I get old and Benjamin when I see that and
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
so are what is it did you know and I hate to say it and like my kids bit
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
fastidious so I he is not this way but there's a classic it just seems
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
completely ignorant of snot coming out
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
the nose it's just used to it he doesn't mind it you can see one you know the
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
really the really the really classic pro levels not kid will have loved the crust
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
around the rim right and then just all kind of moist droplet like pine tar
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
following and then you know might take years for that one to fall but it's
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
it almost looks like they're like one of those like a lifetime
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
well you know how like there's like two kinds of aliens and star wars the ones
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►

[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
there's the ones that are like mostly human but have like a little thing
[TS]
00:13:24

[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
things where you don't realize how fragile something is until some
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
complexity or difficulties introduced and that's when the scenes get exposed
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
and that's the thing I feel bad about what the city is if you look at sea like
[TS]
00:56:02

[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
it took to go somewhere in a shuttle bus like I walk everywhere in las vegas i
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
can't imagine driving right if it's anywhere on this trip you walk there
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
I mean what's the worst thing that happens you you get an alcoholic
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
beverage and walk it's not hard but like oh my god and imagine all those people
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
who are like us being there at the same time how miserable that would be no I
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
that's part of it
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
I remember one time I was in Vegas and it was just by coincidence at the end of
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
some massive convention you know I don't even know what it was but it was must
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
have been like CES sighs dirty clothes they're about and
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
I we write waiting for a cab somewhere and it was like taking forever and when
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
i asked will just walk and then it somehow came up that like we we heard it
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
that they said that the at the venetian that there was a 33 hour wait for cabs a
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
three-hour wait for camp because it was the end of this massive convention and
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
everybody here pouring yeah but think about that like who leaves for the
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
airport three hours in advance nobody
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
so in other words when they tell you it's a three-hour wait to get to the
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
airport that means you're missing you're missing your flight and that's all
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
that's the thing you can't walk you can't walk know that neither thing is
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
that airport is not that big it now
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
in other words it could it doesn't have that much tolerance for it needing to
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
expand and right but so it like there are times when in vegas is you know as
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
much as they can support truly massive conventions conferences we're going to
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
call it there are times when it still is
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
you know ten pounds of shit in a five-pound bag oh well you know it's
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
interesting if you think about you know I don't know it is interesting kind of a
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
planned community and
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
planned community and
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
ways because there seems to be even as much as Las Vegas has pivoted toward
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
more or less family-friendly or more upward downscale there still may be
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
still mostly been marching in the same direction with las vegas since what the
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
forties right i mean that the basic idea of what Las Vegas is for has not changed
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
that much and I have to imagine like the infrastructure to support that it mainly
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
needs to grow and get bigger but doesn't need to change that much
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
we're always going to need prime rib shrimp liquor and chips
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
well I part of this is suddenly going to need like like you know I guess you know
[TS]
01:00:37
◼
►
you get live animals occasionally like a white tiger dies you get a fresh one but
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
like other than that I mean it's gotta be a pretty steady supply train for
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
making that place run and I bet it's pretty easily disrupted oil
[TS]
01:00:46
◼
►
part of the problem is that they they have a monorail that goes up and down
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
the strip but it's terrible and dan was saying on the show that one . it was
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
like an act however long waiting on the morrow but how the monorail is is
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
terribly terribly located it's like way behind this trip I remember the first
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
time I tried to take it was like this is great we'll get out of these expensive
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
cab rides will take the monorail down and then it there like these signs like
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
monorail this way and you start you go through the casino and they're like you
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
know keep looking for signs and say where the monorail is and it's going
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►
keep going keep going keep going
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
now you're going through the employee parking lot and it's monorail this way
[TS]
01:01:24
◼
►
and you're like wait a minute
[TS]
01:01:26
◼
►
monorail and then it you still get to get there and find out it's an hour wait
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
it's really nice but really I mean the big but one of the big problems in vegas
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
is that they really are in desperate need of some public transportation just
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
and it wouldn't be that complicated really just up and down the strip and
[TS]
01:01:43
◼
►
they don't have it
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
I've often thought what do you do if you're you're staying at the venetian
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
your conference is over you have a three o'clock flight and it's one in the
[TS]
01:01:52
◼
►
afternoon and you think you're doing a responsible thing by leaving two hours
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
it's not far if you want your own account it's like as soon as you pull up
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
from the airport you can already see the strip
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
yeah it feels very very close like anything in the desert it's kind of
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
difficult to tell how far away something is traffic permitting it's usually a 10
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
or 15-minute cab ride so it's two hours in advance and then they tell you it's
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
going to be three hours until you
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
get a cab what do you do what do you do you know in another time you know even
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
probably 20 years ago I would say you call the airline and try to reschedule
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
it and pay what used to be I'm gonna say a $75 fee something like that it used to
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
be that flights were more expensive but you could do more with them i think
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
nowadays almost everybody buys and pull this out of my ass but you know like
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
nowadays almost everybody buys refundable and non-refundable to write
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
you always buy the least expensive thing but like you know certainly back when my
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
dad was flying back when there were three different classes on every plane
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
and you know you'd they were costly but you could do a lot more with them I feel
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
like even 20 years ago most airlines for 7,500 bucks you can change your flight
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
I don't know what you do in that case I because it's sort of a can't get there
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
from here situation where you're going to be going to hire hire a local car I
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
mean one of the locals the local third that local the modern-day thing the
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
thing that you can do now is that you have a cellphone or maybe you can start
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
stabbing your finger at your airline's website and see if there's something you
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
can do right there right now you know you could just do it right now the other
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
thing I thought you could do is if you're in that situation is take your
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
suitcase or suitcases and schlep them not to the airport but maybe see if you
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
can walk across the street to a different hotel and see if you can get a
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
cab there but my thought would be wait if there's a big line here
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
yeah there's probably going to be a big line and every hotel that is nearby
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
because the nearby ones that the same ones that the same people have been that
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
yeah that's that's one of those things I'm so interested in these sorts of
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
things something that feels like cause but it's actually have an effect like in
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
that instance the fact that there's a lineup for cabs is not the source of the
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
problem is the result of the problem you know what I mean right it could just be
[TS]
01:03:52
◼
►
that everybody's trying to get a cab right now so let's see here you stay at
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►

[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►

[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►

01:04:17

01:12:57
◼
►
for podcast there just weren't enough people say I'd say even that . still I
[TS]
01:13:01
◼

[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
essentially about the hell podcasts are finally becoming a thing you know it's
[TS]
01:13:11
◼

become I mean it's a tired bit for those of us it's even if it's even at a bit as
[TS]
01:13:16
◼

a bit at this point to joke about this because it's been 45 for what feels like
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
five years now everybody has been doing podcasts in mid-2000 is saying oh that's
[TS]
01:13:25
◼

great sounds like that's another you know it's a meta joke because it's like
[TS]
01:13:30
◼

once again someone says oh you know if you heard about this thing serial
[TS]
01:13:32
◼
►
podcast which are did like this and this and this are going to really really be a
[TS]
01:13:36
◼

thing and oh you know in the mid roll put that another press release so
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
somebody has an article about it and it's you know I don't have that much
[TS]
01:13:44
◼
►
doesn't frustrate me that much except that it is it is funny that frustrates
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
other people much more than it does me because i think it is this is still so
[TS]
01:13:52
◼
►
very much the earliest of days
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
I mean this to me is like as something like Ernie Kovacs was the TV or like you
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
may never see another Ernie Kovacs again because our climax could only have been
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
any Kovacs at that time you know or or for that matter I mean you think about
[TS]
01:14:06
◼
►
any of those weird shows that were on the forties before they really knew what
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
he was going to be don't go back even further what was the movie what movie
[TS]
01:14:13
◼
►
was a smoothly a camera sitting still in filming a bunch of people performing a
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
play without sound right I mean right it was you know I I don't know if he gets
[TS]
01:14:23
◼
►
the appropriate amount of credit but somebody like DW Griffith not only had
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
much more ambition and how you can tell a story with film but what you could do
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
with the camera as its own artifice whereas its own you know tool and then
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
introducing like you know doing more than you know having things like clothes
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
stops and then getting into things like editing the dimensions of editing that
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
we just take for granted today but there was probably 10 or 15 years of
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
filmmaking that went on where people were just walking around going I guess
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
this is a movie so we think about those and we might have nostalgia for watching
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
the sneeze or the kiss or something like that but you know it didn't take 15-20
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
years before we go oh no there really is a vocabulary you know there's a hundred
[TS]
01:15:01
◼

eighty degree rule eventually there's all these different things of
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
conventions of understanding how
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
you know splice time and tell a story with fill in i think it's really early
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
days for podcast it's not anything as sexy or sophisticated his film but i
[TS]
01:15:13
◼

think it's still very early days
[TS]
01:15:15
◼

well that their I've it's the only part of my racket that's still growing like
[TS]
01:15:21

◼
►
again i don't think that who knows it like how much like this not just so that
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
that was the thing but there was probably as like there's a variety of
[TS]
01:15:48
◼
►
different things coming together to create a certain zeitgeist around that
[TS]
01:15:51
◼

time right and it broke out including the ascendance of I have to be honest

[TS]
01:16:04
◼

still proud of it as something that we did and i love that people still like
[TS]
01:16:08
◼

listening to it and so that's 2009 but you know even then we're talking about
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
you know the rise of things like Gawker or the rise of things like techcrunch
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
even the techcrunch at that point is what four years old five years old but
[TS]
01:16:21
◼

[TS]
01:16:26
◼
►
no you know it I know it wasn't so much that was still the time when we were
[TS]
01:16:30
◼

still feeling a little miffed about how much people got their news from
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
aggregation sites rather than the sources that were writing them which now
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
today seems relatively cool . in comparison facebook didn't even have
[TS]
01:16:42
◼

their IPO until $MONTH 2012 which seems crazy because we just talked about them
[TS]
01:16:48

[TS]
01:16:53

01:17:16
◼
►
long time which not everybody looks at laughs
[TS]
01:17:18
◼

but like no no honestly that myspace really was the thing for a long time and

01:22:28
◼

and soccer scores aren't that hard to to get it's not gonna be like a hundred and
[TS]
01:22:33
◼
►
thirty five to seven right it's like you know it's going to be three two one nil
[TS]
01:22:38
◼

so he tweeted hundreds and hundreds of these tweets with these possible things
[TS]
01:22:41
◼

very plausible things that would happen and hadn't hadn't publicized the twitter
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
account at all then went and deleted all the ones that didn't come true
[TS]
01:22:50
◼

leaving only the ones that happened and then started publicizing the twitter
[TS]
01:22:56
◼

account but that's the way a lot of rumor blogging works and government
[TS]
01:23:00

01:23:07
◼

all the time they'll say you know ten different things nine of them are

01:23:09

ridiculous but one of them hit and then they just point to the one that hit and
[TS]
01:23:13
◼

they're like see ya that's so interesting when you think of it that
[TS]
01:23:16
◼

way and it's their reputations that end up getting made that it's almost like
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
you know imagine if you had to sit down in a Google spreadsheet and you know but
[TS]
01:23:26
◼

remember there's a website for a while where you can make a bad about anything
[TS]
01:23:28
◼
►
could happen in the future and now you know i think it was called but the idea
[TS]
01:23:32
◼

is the artfulness is coming up with what actually constitutes the bet
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
like you can't say like Oh computers will get faster within the next year
[TS]
01:23:38
◼

specific and quantifiable if you were if you were and ICU would never be this

01:23:53

this much and basically number of chips are put on the table is this much right

01:24:03
◼
►
how much I pretty sure it's gonna happen and i'm gonna bet this many chips that
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
would happen so you sort of like odds you know it'll be really interesting to
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
go back over somebody's career and be able to look at those i bet it would be
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
i bet it would be especially for some of these dangling analysts can imagine what
[TS]
01:24:17
◼

that would be like not just your trip Chowdhry types but like just any of
[TS]
01:24:20
◼

these folks out there who have some kind of speculative half reckon about about

01:24:25
◼

something that might happen
[TS]
01:24:26

i I'm fascinated by this rumor that the next iPhone is going to get rid of the
[TS]
01:25:26
◼

headphone jack and not you not particularly because of the practical
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
consequences of living with an iphone that doesn't have a standard head cook
[TS]
01:25:34
◼

phone jack but the way that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands
[TS]
01:25:40
◼

of people have reacted to the news
[TS]
01:25:42
◼

right there's a petition that somebody put together that apparently everybody

[TS]
01:26:07
◼

that they not get rid of the audio jack or what specific beef value to me that's
[TS]
01:26:13
◼
►
what's interesting is like the ramifications to get off their butt like
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
the ramifications of this are extremely interesting because there are a lot of
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
things that this will screw up a lot of things that will allow and just a whole
[TS]
01:26:23
◼

bunch of stuff that will change and it all comes down to these little
[TS]
01:26:26
◼

implementation details to like what this means in the near term and i find that
[TS]
01:26:30
◼

incredibly fascinating here it is it's a there's an online had our online
[TS]
01:26:35

only a massive international campaign could force Apple to change course now

really is that the only thing that can cause it to happen that seems very like

a very odd thing to just guess
[TS]
01:27:39
◼

oh my god that's horrible not only will this force iphone users to do a lot of
[TS]
01:27:43

additional cash to replace their Wi-Fi headphones their high five headphones it
[TS]

whoo-hoo further down until Apple to keep the standard headphone jack and
[TS]
01:28:28
◼

ditch planned obsolescence ! so I find it fascinating as incredible i do
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
realize that if it's true that the headphone jack goes away that it will be
[TS]
01:28:40
◼
►
a inconvenience to people who have purchased third-party headphones and
[TS]
01:28:46
◼

more expensive they are them more inconvenient doesn't have to be an
[TS]
01:28:51
◼

inconvenience
[TS]
01:28:51
◼

well I mean you have to have an adapter or something like that and adapters
[TS]
01:28:55
◼

going to stick out rather than it did before I mean it you know it
[TS]
01:28:59
◼

yeah just did I mean like first of all it has not been announced yet there's no
[TS]
01:29:03
◼

way to know this is the classes one of those classic it's one of those classic
[TS]
01:29:07
◼

examples of taking something that isn't a thing yet taking even and how do you
[TS]
01:29:12
◼

begin with the idea of us something that's not a thing yet guess like two
[TS]
01:29:16
◼

orders of change away from that until you find something that makes you
[TS]
01:29:19
◼

infuriated until where people are extremely angry about something that
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
hasn't happened so i don't know i guess i just feel like I think it is
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
interesting because it would it could mean lots of different stuff for the
[TS]
01:29:32
◼
►
company but if you watch apple at all and I'm gonna say this will happen but
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
if it does happen i thought this would be surprising at all especially given
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
how much they want slimness given how much they want might want this added
[TS]
01:29:43
◼

functionality
[TS]
01:29:44
◼
►
I don't think they're doing it to make you buy new headphones i think they're
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
doing because they think that's the future rather than the past right and
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
implicit in this line of argument is the idea that they should never get rid of
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
this headphone port and that devices that we buy 20 30 40 years from now
[TS]
01:30:00
◼

she's still have the same headphone port because at any given to .
[TS]
01:30:05
◼

if every device that could have headphones uses the same port there's
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
never gonna be a year where it's like well now is the year when nobody's going
[TS]
01:30:14
◼
►
to be put to any inconvenience whatsoever by this right and it's and
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
the fact that they they make mention of the 30-pin to lightning adapter thing is
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
to me it's like that that the people who sign mr. still upset about that one
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
it's it's like yes that was an inconvenience and I know just from like
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
talking to people like one of the scenarios where that was really
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
inconvenient would be like let's say that you're maybe like you and your
[TS]
01:30:41
◼
►
spouse are on every other year schedules getting new phones you need to get one
[TS]
01:30:44
◼

01:30:48
◼

there was a year there where one of the you know household members had the old
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
iphone port and the other anyone up
[TS]
01:30:56
◼

it was the worst for a while yeah and so it's not just as simple if unless
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
everybody in the house witches at once it's not as simple as just well just buy
[TS]
01:31:04
◼

a couple of the new ones and leave around but like if there's a charger in
[TS]
01:31:07
◼

the kitchen or something like that well now you've got to have a dongle or
[TS]
01:31:10

something but it once you know give it a couple years to work itself out and now
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
it's a better world because we have a better sport it's smaller works by
[TS]
01:31:19
◼

directionally right in hindsight it's like wow that that really worked out
[TS]
01:31:24
◼
►
well let me let me ask you an extremely carefully worded question or ask our
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
listeners that extremely carefully worded question how many of you out
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
there are using headphones that you bought over five years ago that you
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
still use several times a week and do you intend to keep using them for the
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
next two years but listen to the next year
[TS]
01:31:46
◼
►
how about this headphones you bought in the last four years that you still use
[TS]
01:31:51
◼
►
more than one time with several times a week maybe
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
are there any that you bought over four years ago that you're using everyday
[TS]
01:31:57
◼

with with an iphone right and do you intend to use effort of the year because
[TS]
01:32:02
◼

here's the thing that's when the lightning adapter came out was four
[TS]
01:32:05
◼

years ago follow ya in the amount of time since the lightning adapter has
[TS]
01:32:11
◼

come out i am not finding it difficult to deal with not having a
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
deepen USB Jack anymore it just doesn't come up it comes up a couple times a
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
week maybe or maybe even less because i have to charge my kids ancient ipad2 but
[TS]
01:32:28
◼

that that transition is well and truly over with the exception of maybe going
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
into a hotel room yet finding someplace that still have those did you see my
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
point though like so so what's the legacy problem here do you personally
[TS]
01:32:40
◼
►
have any headphones that like you couldn't afford to replace that you've
[TS]
01:32:43
◼
►
used for more than four years and need to use for the more than the next year
[TS]
01:32:47
◼
►
or so because it's gonna be at least a year i'm going to guess until that
[TS]
01:32:50
◼
►
happens to be the light falls apart already
[TS]
01:32:53
◼

because you know that it's not like you get a feel like getting your dad's rolex

01:33:15
◼

pairs of white apple earbuds that are in this house
[TS]
01:33:18
◼

look I would not be surprised if the number of working pairs of them was at
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
least I don't know 12 maybe more maybe like 15 20 would be surprised and it's
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►

[TS]
01:33:56

[TS]
01:34:13

01:34:19
◼

do include a pair of wired headphones and they plug into the Lightning port
[TS]
01:34:24

01:34:27
◼

house already

the direction apple is moving i'm not saying this is good bad or indifferent

you need to listen for those warning shots and in the next year get your head
[TS]
01:35:14
◼

around the fact that this is going to change so yes I think they will give you
[TS]
01:35:17
◼

if if this is the change and I don't think there's evidence that there is but
[TS]
01:35:20
◼

whatever if there is going to give the right headphones and you know what i'll
[TS]
01:35:24
◼

bet you $MONEY you can find some kind of janky ass adapter will let you use your
[TS]
01:35:28
◼

beloved headphones but i don't think i think if they do this it's not going to
[TS]
01:35:34

be because it makes your life miserable because they want to do something really

new and that to me is super interesting what could you do with lightning
[TS]
01:35:42
◼

headphones there's so many things that are super interesting to me and thinking
[TS]
01:35:45
◼

about that and we want to think about also about stuff like could you have one
[TS]
01:35:49
◼
►
else had a charger pack it would be conceivable have a charger pack ahead
[TS]
01:35:51
◼
►
it's just up slightly larger than usual chin on it where you could potentially
[TS]
01:35:56
◼
►
have to plug that in to the lightning and then have put the transmitter and
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
off to the side a dangerous for plugging in old-style headphones I mean to me
[TS]
01:36:05
◼

that's not beyond imagination
[TS]
01:36:06
◼
►
sure you could do it but wouldn't want to have to look like you think I didn't
[TS]
01:36:11
◼
►
mean it might just be a just a straight adapter would just be like a little you
[TS]
01:36:16
◼
►
know well on a cord probably yeah either on the end maybe it would be on the
[TS]
01:36:20
◼

court may be other ways you can get that ipad pro pencil problem if you've got

the right for the flick full-on long iPhone Jack that's been pretty long
[TS]
01:36:29
◼

accounting for what's already inside the phone
[TS]
01:36:31
◼

yeah maybe it should be on a little cord because that way in it a little court if
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
it was on like a little like you know like inch to inch scale then it wouldn't
[TS]
01:36:40
◼

be like a

Chris breaking off your thing in your pocket but the size of one of those

coming out something along those lines
[TS]
01:36:49
◼

I like that without that would fix the legacy problem is it elegant know but
[TS]
01:36:53
◼
►
welcome to the future like you're gonna buy new headphones anyway especially I
[TS]
01:36:57
◼

don't know either way either gonna use this old 3.5 millimeter port forever
[TS]
01:37:03
◼

forever or any time scale or eventually somebody is going to ship a product that
[TS]
01:37:09
◼

doesn't use it and so I i had i don't get it i really do enjoy them so I
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
here's the thing i really do wonder if it's true i wonder if this actually is a
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
rare case in my opinion of a deliberate leak by Apple to vent a whole bunch of
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
the anger almost an entire year in advance so that when it is announced it
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
doesn't come as a shock to nearly as many people who has done the most
[TS]
01:37:38
◼
►
significant and reliable reporting working out apparently reliable
[TS]
01:37:42
◼
►
reporting on this I i guess the guy at Fast Company ok ok i guess and notably
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
not German so he words
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
yeah Forbes and fast company is what the petition says that they don't know they
[TS]
01:37:58
◼
►
do have links to it at the bottom so if you go to that petition page that
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
helping Forbes let me look at their page anymore
[TS]
01:38:05
◼
►
iphone 7 leaks quote confirm Avila banding headphone jack so i got this
[TS]
01:38:11
◼
►
like it's like they've got a different dictionary exactly it when they did put
[TS]
01:38:16
◼
►
the word converted quotes that's great that's great that's just a little better
[TS]
01:38:22
◼
►
than putting proves it in quotation what's it's like reality but maybe not
[TS]
01:38:29
◼
►
the Fast Company headline is it's true
[TS]
01:38:32
◼
►
colon apple will drop headphone jack to make the iphone 7 slimmer comma says
[TS]
01:38:36
◼
►
source I i would say that the Fast Company was probably the most reliable
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
it's also locate so I didn't having exactly ask you this do you think this
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
will happen i do okay because i feel like it has to happen eventually
[TS]
01:38:51
◼
►
and so why not now
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
ok and what are you what are some of the benefits i guess the most obvious one
[TS]
01:38:58
◼
►
apparently is that it is the gating factor for getting the phone any thinner
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
well maybe the counter-argument to that is that the current ipod touches are
[TS]
01:39:09
◼
►
significantly thinner than the iphone the current iphone and so and they still
[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►
have the standard headphone jack and there are ipods other you know like
[TS]
01:39:21
◼
►
regular non iOS ipods that are even thinner still that still have that port
[TS]
01:39:26
◼
►
but like on the ipods that are thinner that have that port that there's like a
[TS]
01:39:32
◼
►
chin area where that the inserted part of the headphone jack doesn't actually
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
go underneath the display remember which makes it easier engineering lies on the
[TS]
01:39:43
◼
►
ipod touch it does its it it could you could make a significantly thinner
[TS]
01:39:48
◼
►
iphone and keep this port but without question any every port you remove is
[TS]
01:39:55
◼
►
got to make it the device smaller and lighter
[TS]
01:39:58
◼
►
yeah when it's also i mean there seems like there's several i'm an engineer
[TS]
01:40:01
◼
►
obviously but you know it's comments and let them that if ya gettin worked out
[TS]
01:40:06
◼
►
and don't even replace it with another port of any kind of this every every
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
every dingus you can take off of there it could mean all kinds of things it
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
means it means more space to do anything with that area including what components
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
you can put their in its place
[TS]
01:40:17
◼
►
remember also we're talking about like at least one three quarters of an inch
[TS]
01:40:20
◼
►
of depth you've got an engineer around with that
[TS]
01:40:22
◼
►
yeah i think this and it's already got that depth accounted for i actually
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
think if you could pick the brains of like a hardware engineer at apple who
[TS]
01:40:30
◼
►
work specifically on these problems of how do we cram all the stuff we
[TS]
01:40:35
◼
►
absolutely need and get the biggest possible battery that we can given the
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
thinnest that Jony Ive's team has saying we're supposed to build this at i would
[TS]
01:40:46
◼
►
say i would bet that if you talk to one of the engineers on it works on that
[TS]
01:40:50
◼
►
here's what Johnny's team says we're supposed to be able to build how do we
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
make this reality that the depth of the jack into the device is actually a
[TS]
01:40:58
◼
►
bigger problem than the 3.5 millimeter diameter as well as I'm gonna I don't
[TS]
01:41:04
◼
►
think I don't know electronic spend as well as i'm guessing being one of the
[TS]
01:41:07
◼
►
most difficult parts in terms of moisture the Lightning I don't know I
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
feel like did I talk to you about my weird lighting thing last year where one
[TS]
01:41:17
◼
►
particular pin on my lightning cable had turned like a bluish green all of my
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
chargers know the exact same pin on both sides and it and I wondered if it was a
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
hardware virus but basically LOL @ and then also know my devices were charging
[TS]
01:41:35
◼
►
as well and it looked like basically an aquamarine is that the kind of dark blue
[TS]
01:41:41
◼
►
green yeah like a dark blue green crayon had been very lightly smudged on the
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
same pin 6 different lightning Jax is that insane but it must i'll bet the
[TS]
01:41:52
◼
►
problem must have been with the device that you had a device where the internal
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
what caused what is the question it's the driver Jeff being talking about the
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
hardware virus that Google to hear about that now i don't think i have i love the
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
story that hardware virus i'm giving minutes of mull that over in your head
[TS]
01:42:07
◼
►
that a hardware virus at Google where basically people's DVI Jack what he
[TS]
01:42:14
◼
►
called he called the the female on the laptop to Jack I think it's people's DVI
[TS]
01:42:19
◼
►
Jack's stopped working the port sorry the port stopped working and they all
[TS]
01:42:24
◼
►
had this same they appear to other people would notice that they were going
[TS]
01:42:28
◼
►
to plug in the projector didn't work they go and look and this one pin had
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
gotten my kind of basically been distorted inside all these different
[TS]
01:42:37
◼
►
people's laptops in and so that you would go and if you're whatever room you
[TS]
01:42:42
◼
►
look at the plug and that plug was messed up your laptop is messed up
[TS]
01:42:46
◼
►
suddenly everybody's noticing all the laptops and all the plugs are messed up
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
and you can figure out why write it all started with one slide projector having
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
you can pin and passing that defect on to any piece of hardware that plug into
[TS]
01:42:58
◼
►
and then consequently each piece of pop art hardware the plug into that computer
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
then got it to which would then pass it on everybody else that's insane
[TS]
01:43:08
◼
►
it's incredible what an amazing idea i've never heard of that before and now
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
it's kind of amazing it doesn't happen more often so that was my first thought
[TS]
01:43:15
◼
►
isn't that how Skynet started is that the 190 Robocop Terminator oh sorry yeah
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►

[TS]
01:43:27
◼
►
much about that you know what's funny is like I i can't believe i'm living in an
[TS]
01:43:32
◼
►
age where my phone feels too thin and my touch ID seems too fast like it when I
[TS]
01:43:37
◼
►
take the naked robotic or out of the leather case and I hold in my hand I
[TS]
01:43:40
◼
►
have to tell you my success prime feels like a little too thin
[TS]
01:43:45
◼

it's not that comfortable to me I don't think I wanted to be any thinner
[TS]
01:43:49
◼
►
yeah and I wish I now to get like right now and see if I have any messages i use
[TS]
01:43:53
◼
►

[TS]
01:43:59
◼

on it's so impossibly fast now could you ever imagine the damage something a
[TS]
01:44:03
◼

grown man with bitch about ya know it still gets me when I want to take a
[TS]
01:44:06
◼
►
photo like something is happening like oh my god I got a picture of this right
[TS]
01:44:09
◼
►
now but right I developed the habit a few years ago when they added the
[TS]
01:44:12
◼
►
feature where there's a camera shortcut on the lock screen swipe up remembering
[TS]
01:44:16
◼
►
that in but and I've when i'm normally using the phone i I'm getting better at
[TS]
01:44:22
◼
►
if I really do want to see the lock screen I know to use the side button to
[TS]
01:44:26
◼
►
wake it up instead of the fingerprint button that's good yeah but when I but
[TS]
01:44:32
◼
►
when I mean like that emergency holy cow there's a squirrel eating a you know
[TS]
01:44:37
◼
►
eating a duck eating it
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
yes there's a score leading a duck I don't have time to think i have to think
[TS]
01:44:44
◼
►
to use that side button I just instantly go to the home button and then I met you
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
know that's yi like muscle muscle reflex and now i'm looking around for all man
[TS]
01:44:52
◼
►
right yeah and now it's like my twitter client is open and I'm like a look at
[TS]
01:44:56
◼
►
this onto it starts shaking an old man like always and I wanna get back to the
[TS]
01:45:01
◼
►
screen i was on by the way I want to i'm thinking about writing about this but I
[TS]
01:45:05
◼
►
actually looked up I had the same problem you just went to verb
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
only a minute or two ago there about the the word Jack and is Jack when you talk
[TS]
01:45:12
◼
►
about the headphone jack is the jack the the mail or is it the female it ends up
[TS]
01:45:17
◼
►
here's the deck different dictionary definition is it good
[TS]
01:45:20
◼
►
I socket with two or more pairs of terminals designed to receive a jack
[TS]
01:45:25
◼
►
plug so it is the female but it in the dictionary this is the Apple dictionary
[TS]
01:45:30
◼
►
which is what like american heritage or something they describe it as needing
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
two or more pairs of terminals so like I i feel like the dictionaries wrong on
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
that case because every you know it doesn't seem like they have a definition
[TS]
01:45:43
◼
►
that would work with headphone jack where there's just one terminal with
[TS]
01:45:48
◼
►
that that's jack or socket jacket
[TS]
01:45:51
◼
►
jaaack jacket a socket with two or more pairs of terminals designed to receive a
[TS]
01:45:57
◼
►
jack plug so that's the female headphone dingus Jack they're saying that she
[TS]
01:46:02
◼
►
called Jill there's hey there they should I thought of that that it does
[TS]
01:46:07
◼
►
seem like maybe the right
[TS]
01:46:09
◼
►
the jet airplane food and a rocket Jack so they're saying it's a jack is the
[TS]
01:46:15
◼
►
socket and the jack plug is the plug
[TS]
01:46:19
◼
►
oh ok in the what you call the pig face thing that you get 110 electricity out
[TS]
01:46:25
◼
►
of in your house is that out legal an outlet i would normally call it an
[TS]
01:46:30
◼
►
outlet but i might call it which we jack your plug into the socket you call that
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
an outlet yeah my call it a jack casually i would prefer to call it Jack
[TS]
01:46:37
◼
►
because I feel like it's jack is a pretty good word
[TS]
01:46:40
◼
►
uh-huh i feel like with headphones in casual speaking you can kinda it doesn't
[TS]
01:46:45
◼
►
make any logical sense but that you can kind of get away with calling the male
[TS]
01:46:48
◼
►
and the female jack
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
no just take that if you got your headphones just take the jack and plug
[TS]
01:46:53
◼
►
it into the jack jack in the jack
[TS]
01:46:55
◼
►
yeah yeah absolutely take the headphone jack and just plug it right into the
[TS]
01:46:59
◼
►
jack on the phone white what do you are what do you make of the the apparent
[TS]
01:47:04
◼
►
obsession with increasing thinnest what do you make of that I mean I'm gonna say
[TS]
01:47:12
◼
►
we make money make that I did you do you like that do you feel that it is useful
[TS]
01:47:17
◼
►
and important and why in particular do you think it seems like such an
[TS]
01:47:20
◼
►
obsession in
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
side the white room to make things thinner and is that a thing because it
[TS]
01:47:25
◼
►
feels like a thing I don't know anybody I don't know I can't think of anybody I
[TS]
01:47:30
◼
►
know who's top of the list even the top five would be I want a thinner phone
[TS]
01:47:34
◼
►
pretty much everybody i know says I wouldn't who knows this could be at
[TS]
01:47:38
◼
►
cross-purposes like with your think thinking fast mind you're thinking slow
[TS]
01:47:41
◼
►
mind but like everybody I know says they would like to get more battery I don't
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
know anybody that says I want to thinner phone i asked shoulder about that when
[TS]
01:47:49
◼
►
he was on the show at WWDC and he gave a good answer at least at the time I was
[TS]
01:47:54
◼
►
like damn that's a good answer and damned if I can remember it I was
[TS]
01:47:58
◼
►
backstage backstage drinking I don't remember
[TS]
01:48:02
◼
►
damned if I can remember it I i don't know i don't know what to make of it
[TS]
01:48:07
◼
►
because it's gone past the point where I care like I'm impressed now like when I
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
go to one of these apple events and it's the year when you get a new form factor
[TS]
01:48:19
◼
►
and then they have a monitor you know Apple table backstage and you get to
[TS]
01:48:23
◼
►
study them and see out then they are and it's like wow that is then but I think I
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
honestly be even started I honestly I don't think that the thickness of the
[TS]
01:48:33
◼
►
things ever really mattered to me i like the original iphone i didn't think it
[TS]
01:48:38
◼
►
was too thick and I think starting somewhere around the four ya the four
[TS]
01:48:45
◼
►
and the four ask the one that had the glass back glass front glass back but
[TS]
01:48:50
◼
►
still it's still my favorite the 4 s's don't like my favorite form factor at
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
that at that point I i thought this is good this is fantastic this feels so
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
great in my pocket
[TS]
01:49:02
◼
►
it's you know this is great I'll uh and then when they made the next one even
[TS]
01:49:06
◼
►
thinner i was like wow that's amazing but I didn't think this is better for me
[TS]
01:49:11
◼
►
like they could have stopped at the thinness of the four 4s and I'd be happy
[TS]
01:49:15
◼
►
if they just packed it with battery
[TS]
01:49:17
◼
►
well you know I like the guy i doing something hideous obviously I'm glad to
[TS]
01:49:20
◼
►
see enhancements to the phone i like this faster like it's bigger it's all
[TS]
01:49:23
◼
►
that kind of stuff but like to me the 4s design still you know the whole like
[TS]
01:49:27
◼
►
chamfered edges or whatever they called it that still feel so classic to me now
[TS]
01:49:31
◼
►
that has live in 5s at the 5 and 5s yeah
[TS]
01:49:34
◼
►
we know that was before that was one had the glass back and it just had metal
[TS]
01:49:39
◼
►
sides they were like it wasn't chamfered though it was alright i see but that
[TS]
01:49:44
◼
►
yeah i guess in my head I think of that yes I see what you're saying
[TS]
01:49:47
◼
►
yeah but I still think of that as like i'll remember that as the classic iphone
[TS]
01:49:51
◼
►
look I think yeah i don't know i like the rounded ish edges
[TS]
01:49:56
◼
►
yeah I'm sorry I misspoke yeah this one looks like a mophie before there was a
[TS]
01:49:59
◼
►
movie right it's got that without metal edge was the antenna gate phone
[TS]
01:50:04
◼
►
yes yeah right God look at I'm looking at just what the OS look like oh my
[TS]
01:50:08
◼

goodness oh my gosh it's so I don't hate it though i don't know i'm not gonna
[TS]

blanket party on forestall like I think I don't know man it's it's when the
[TS]
01:50:18
◼
►
iphone got good you know he was still there running the show so thinnest yeah
[TS]
01:50:25
◼
►
so i don't know i don't know you know it gets I have to always in my head
[TS]
01:50:28
◼
►
discount the fact that you know the way that we know that but I'm talking about
[TS]
01:50:31
◼
►
the cannon book Thinking Fast and Slow yes it's yes an amazing book but you
[TS]
01:50:36
◼
►
know there are the ways that when we stop and think and meta think about what
[TS]
01:50:39
◼
►
we're doing is actually very different from the way that we think from day to
[TS]
01:50:42
◼
►
day it's there's just been setting aside the research there's just the anecdotes
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
there's so much stuff about like what we think we want versus what we actually do
[TS]
01:50:50
◼
►
and how what we actually use and how we actually process information if you ask
[TS]
01:50:54
◼
►
anyone who's a gambler whether gambling is a good way to make lots of money and
[TS]
01:50:58
◼
►
you say to them they will say no it's not it's done that I do this it's done
[TS]
01:51:02
◼
►
that I drink it's done that again what's done i do these things it doesn't change
[TS]
01:51:05
◼
►
the fact that we still do it so i have to guess that there's something going on
[TS]
01:51:09
◼
►
a sub rosa level here where there they are
[TS]
01:51:13
◼
►
there's some reason that they are making these things the way they are making
[TS]
01:51:16
◼
►
them and it may not exactly comport with the way that my brain thinks that these
[TS]
01:51:20
◼
►
things should be made that they must have their reasons right that's what I
[TS]
01:51:22
◼
►
try to think I try to I tried to remain on emotional about it like i don't see
[TS]
01:51:29
◼
►
it and I don't get it but I feel like it's of a itself apart with the outrage
[TS]
01:51:33
◼
►
over the headphone jack
[TS]
01:51:34
◼
►
yeah where I don't want to be the one who is outraged that they've made this
[TS]
01:51:37
◼
►
the next iphone even thinner and the battery life isn't any better
[TS]
01:51:43
◼
►
you know when obviously if they'd you know kept it the same thickness and just
[TS]
01:51:48
◼
►
it added a little more battery they could have made battery better
[TS]
01:51:51
◼
►
that sounds good better to me and I know that there's these you know little laws
[TS]
01:51:56
◼
►
of physics that affect image quality of the camera where the longer to the
[TS]
01:52:00
◼
►
distance you have between the lens and the sensor it helps to have a bigger
[TS]
01:52:04
◼
►
state you can have a bigger sensor with bigger pixels and therefore get better
[TS]
01:52:07
◼
►
image quality i understand that it is i don't get it seems to me come my My look
[TS]
01:52:14
◼
►
at it as common senses if they kept the thinnest the same at this point then
[TS]
01:52:18
◼
►
they could have more battery which would increase battery life and they could
[TS]
01:52:22
◼
►
have better image quality on the camera which are like the two things that I
[TS]
01:52:24
◼
►
care about most
[TS]
01:52:26
◼
►
this is using the camera and the battery and they keep me instead they keep
[TS]
01:52:29
◼
►
making it thinner
[TS]
01:52:31
◼
►
I don't get it but I don't assume that there's no good reason for it or that
[TS]
01:52:34
◼
►
the only reason is a like Jony Ive's personal obsession with the thinnest I i
[TS]
01:52:41
◼
►
get that there must be something I just don't see it
[TS]
01:52:44
◼
►
right right and and I think for folks who are technologically inclined
[TS]
01:52:49
◼
►
scientifically inclined or even rationally inclined you might want to
[TS]
01:52:53
◼
►
look at something like you know this case the thinness of the phone and you
[TS]
01:52:56
◼
►
can come up with half a dozen reasons why making a thinner is not a good idea
[TS]
01:53:00
◼
►
or you know or is not the first good idea but at the same time you could look
[TS]
01:53:04
◼
►
at stuff like the skeuomorphism that goes into automobiles we know in terms
[TS]
01:53:09
◼
►
of like making this sporty we look even more sporty than it needs to look for
[TS]
01:53:13
◼
►
the sportiness of it like that actually helped make it a better car not not in
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
the usual sense but makes more attractive to people having it create
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
more like making it make more engine noise than it needs to make does that
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
make it a better car not really not in engineering sense but there's a reason
[TS]
01:53:29
◼
►
there's reasons for all of this stuff that it goes beyond simply fashion but
[TS]
01:53:34
◼
►
there's something about like when you're using it
[TS]
01:53:36
◼
►
this makes you feel a certain way and that's why people keep going back and
[TS]
01:53:39
◼
►
buying the same brands over and over the Latino yeah I out channel try to channel
[TS]
01:53:45
◼
►
my inner syracuse it here and I feel like Syracuse it if he's listening is
[TS]
01:53:49
◼
►
champing at the bit here because I feel like he could explain this best but like
[TS]
01:53:54
◼
►
that the the
[TS]
01:53:55
◼
►
end result eventually is that these phones are just gonna be pieces of glass
[TS]
01:53:59
◼
►
you know like remembered you see the movie looper yeah like this so basically
[TS]
01:54:04
◼
►
it's like or even like parks and rec that is basically be a little bit like a
[TS]
01:54:08
◼
►
clearly a floating screen kind of thing just yet just it's just just the piece
[TS]
01:54:11
◼
►
of glass just for you know maybe it's on class maybe it's a polycarbonate but
[TS]
01:54:15
◼
►
just the screen and it's when it's off it maybe it's even try and loosen and
[TS]
01:54:19
◼
►
everything is built into it to get from here to there they have to keep making
[TS]
01:54:24
◼
►
everything better and that they know that that's where it's going and in the
[TS]
01:54:28
◼
►
meantime they have they have to keep pressing the gas pedal on making these
[TS]
01:54:32
◼
►
things thinner even though it's at the expense of trying to also it's working
[TS]
01:54:37
◼
►
counter to making battery life better and counter to making the camera better
[TS]
01:54:41
◼
►
they have to keep working on all three because that's inevitable and if they
[TS]
01:54:44
◼
►
don't do it somebody else will
[TS]
01:54:46
◼
►
because we're still thinking about a power device as relying on the kind of
[TS]
01:54:50
◼
►
power with the kind of constraints that we do right now in the same way like
[TS]
01:54:53
◼
►
think about the leap from CRT to LED like I mean making that the that mental
[TS]
01:54:58
◼
►
model that leap from what a TV is what a TV looks like how is it that within like
[TS]
01:55:04
◼
►
less than 10 years we went from a TV being what an 80-pound box into being
[TS]
01:55:12
◼
►
almost like a plane right i mean that but that's that takes an entire quantum
[TS]
01:55:16
◼
►
leap course if you ever opened up a TV or opened up a stereo like a crappily
[TS]
01:55:20
◼
►
made stereo system it's all air inside there's no reason for any of that is
[TS]
01:55:23
◼
►
just it's just cheapest to make that way with stock components so that's kinda
[TS]
01:55:27
◼
►
what you're saying right is that like if we look at this is more than what axis
[TS]
01:55:30
◼
►
changing in the future you can't help but think that there's going to be some
[TS]
01:55:33
◼
►
evolutions we don't in the near-term understand evolution but changes we
[TS]
01:55:36
◼
►
don't immediately understand
[TS]
01:55:37
◼
►
yeah i also wonder if there might not be a very practical near-term product
[TS]
01:55:43
◼
►
marketing angle on it which is that Apple and other companies as well might
[TS]
01:55:50
◼
►
know that if they made the device let's just say that the iphone 7 coming out is
[TS]
01:55:57
◼
►
the new iphones called the iphone 7 it's coming out later this year and it's
[TS]
01:56:00
◼
►
thinner than the iphone 6
[TS]
01:56:02
◼
►
that's probably all everything I just said is what I guess is going to happen
[TS]
01:56:07
◼
►
because it's what's been happening for years now i don't have anybody I don't
[TS]
01:56:10
◼
►
know any sources have told me that but it's a very logical guess Apple might
[TS]
01:56:15
◼
►
know that if they made the iphone 7 the same thickness as the iphone 6 even
[TS]
01:56:21
◼
►
though they could make it thinner but if they made it thicker and use that extra
[TS]
01:56:25
◼
►
thickness to increase the battery life and maybe get rid of the maybe if image
[TS]
01:56:31
◼
►
quality isn't even better than it would be otherwise but there's no you know the
[TS]
01:56:37
◼
►
camera lens doesn't stick out from the back which would make me very happy
[TS]
01:56:40
◼
►
they might know that in the long run that would make people happy but that in
[TS]
01:56:45
◼
►
the short run if they did that and then people go into a verizon or AT&T store
[TS]
01:56:51
◼
►
and side-by-side with a samsung that is thinner even if it's an expensive
[TS]
01:56:56
◼
►
battery life
[TS]
01:56:57
◼
►
oh yeah that you know that they have a reasonable reason to believe that x
[TS]
01:57:02
◼
►
number of people will then pick that Samsung because wow look how thin this
[TS]
01:57:05
◼
►
is and walk out of it even though in the long run they might have been happier
[TS]
01:57:08
◼
►
with the thicker phone that gets better battery life but at the point-of-sale
[TS]
01:57:11
◼
►
that thing this one looked thin this has curve appeal / like bullet stats right
[TS]
01:57:18
◼
►
and you know in in that sense of like that's a really interesting way to put
[TS]
01:57:22
◼
►
you know you think about what she wants you what you buy when you just walk into
[TS]
01:57:26
◼
►
the store like and how it makes you feel in the moment that could actually have a
[TS]
01:57:30
◼
►
huge impact
[TS]
01:57:31
◼
►
yeah I i really and it's a little i know that there aren't the nerds out there
[TS]
01:57:36
◼

the people who you know either do think more logically the most people or at
[TS]
01:57:40
◼

least like to think that they think a lot more logically than most other
[TS]
01:57:43
◼
►
people and I suspect there's a lot of people listening to us right now whoo
[TS]
01:57:46
◼

hoo that applies to think that makes me angry because I'm so logical that would
[TS]
01:57:51
◼
►
never for me a you might be fooling yourself about just how emotional you
[TS]
01:57:58
◼
►
know the emotional context of buying it
[TS]
01:58:00
◼
►
you know what'd be even if you do have a good point because you pre-order your
[TS]
01:58:04
◼

phones and and you buy your new iPhone before you ever even seen it in person
[TS]
01:58:09
◼

you can't underestimate the head that when you're selling in the quantities
[TS]
01:58:12
◼

that apple sells at that most people are not like the people listen
[TS]
01:58:16
◼
►
into this child yeah but also AM what feels like a real change in attitude
[TS]
01:58:22
◼
►
from you know over the years I don't think also will change in attitude but
[TS]
01:58:26
◼
►
you know there was a time when being somebody who said hey look you know just
[TS]
01:58:34
◼
►
give me exactly what I want in this device and then leave me alone and stop
[TS]
01:58:40

trying to make this pretty somebody said that in 1999 would you guess that that's
[TS]
01:58:45

a Mac user or pc user that really sounds like pc user to me
[TS]
01:58:51
◼

yeah me too right the the there was a time when you know one of the one of our
[TS]
01:58:55

many in dignities in the Apple community was that we did by and large we
[TS]
01:58:59

certainly could do more at a certain time on your Mac wasn't as reliable
[TS]
01:59:03
◼

stable but you know that's that's been the trade-offs overtime but this is kind
[TS]
01:59:07
◼

of funny to me that everybody comes in
[TS]
01:59:09
◼

it's like you know all that whatever the six different guys you know the six

the elephant when they describe it and it is kind of funny like how quickly
[TS]
01:59:19

like we can go down this personal rathole of having exactly the idea of
[TS]
01:59:23
◼

what we would want in a phone but exactly the idea of what we wanted a
[TS]
01:59:26
◼

phone if we actually sat down with people in a room would end up being
[TS]
01:59:29
◼

surprisingly different from person to person there has to be somebody there at

01:59:32

some level making those executive decisions about what they can do and

make well at scale

you know I don't know maybe I'm pulling on my ass but I do feel like so you know

you eventually get into this homers car type situation with people were you know
[TS]
01:59:44

all you know what I love to have a way bigger phone or a way smaller phone or
[TS]
01:59:48
◼

i'd love to have a way longer battery life or you know everybody's got their
[TS]
01:59:51
◼

in your case with with the with the camera most people I i'm gonna guess
[TS]
01:59:54
◼

don't know I don't know enough about the camera to know that thing about the
[TS]
01:59:58

length of the lens and things like that
[TS]
01:59:58
◼

length of the lens and things like that
[TS]
02:00:00

otherwise otherwise they weld a lot of these arguments you know it on
[TS]
02:00:03

common-sense level though right like when you look at the the the sideline
[TS]
02:00:07

guys at the Superbowl shooting the photos for Sports Illustrated what other
[TS]
02:00:10

cameras look like they're these giant lenses because there's definitely some

admit you know I didn't teach what's your point about the Kirk what I'm

02:00:19

calling the curb appeal part for example what you said you wish the lens didn't
[TS]
02:00:22

stick out when i think of the camera on my phone I think of that lens I don't
[TS]
02:00:26
◼

think about what's going on inside
[TS]
02:00:28
◼

I think about that lens and I think about the fact that every time I put my

02:00:31
◼

phone down I feel a little nervous and I feel a little bit unsettled in OCD way
[TS]
02:00:35

about that thing sticking out more in the example of talking about the
[TS]
02:00:38
◼

headphone jack the audio jack
[TS]
02:00:40
◼
►
I mean like we were sort of getting too i mean how many people think about that
[TS]
02:00:44
◼
►
in terms of a cylinder versus a circle if you take my meaning
[TS]
02:00:49
◼
►
I think the Rose people think about the gating factor of right which call it
[TS]
02:00:53
◼
►
there they don't have a circle not-not-not a tube right there w is
[TS]
02:00:58
◼
►
actually a much bigger deal right in the circle right they think of the diameter
[TS]
02:01:02
◼
►
that portrait as opposed to the depth of the port right so it or not to apply
[TS]
02:01:06
◼
►
that same analogy you know when you talk about the camera
[TS]
02:01:09
◼
►
I think of a hoop and you think of a cylinder yeah right and so so you know
[TS]
02:01:16
◼
►
for anybody else to go no look it's a hoop you can make that as fine as you
[TS]
02:01:19
◼
►
want but no no actually that's a cylinder and that that does have an
[TS]
02:01:23
◼
►
impact and this is one case where you know these two things this the bigger
[TS]
02:01:28
◼
►
this gets the better the phone is the smaller this this thing is the better
[TS]
02:01:31
◼

the phone gets and those two we're going to do
[TS]
02:01:34

yeah you're gonna make it look an imac box like what would you do if you can
[TS]
02:01:38

make it like a ramp or a wedge i would love to I i like to imagine i would like

02:06:37

[TS]
02:06:41
◼
►
was like hey HBO is going to have the Godfather epic on on a HP the regular
[TS]
02:06:49
◼
►
HBO on TV which and to me it doesn't make any sense i don't know how this
[TS]
02:06:53
◼
►
whole thing makes almost no sense the Godfather epic the Godfather saga
[TS]
02:06:56
◼
►
whatever you wanna call which version you tell what it is
[TS]
02:06:59
◼
►
yeah then want them to the story that I heard was that one . you know the
[TS]
02:07:03
◼
►
godfather and the godfather to have just been so huge so critically acclaimed and
[TS]
02:07:07
◼
►
some point somebody got the idea to make it a miniseries that you could show on
[TS]
02:07:10
◼
►
TV and with the idea being that cocoa and personally supervise a putting this
[TS]
02:07:16
◼
►
together in putting it together for TV meaning be taking out the stuff that
[TS]
02:07:23
◼
►
would be you know too violent in that case but also seek doing in
[TS]
02:07:26
◼
►
chronological order of the scenes in The Godfather wanted to write so far so good
[TS]
02:07:31
◼
►
so that ran as a miniseries over i think two or three four nights in the
[TS]
02:07:36
◼
►
seventies or eighties and then I I can't John I've been looking for a copy of
[TS]
02:07:40
◼
►
this for so long it's hard to find a sammich that copy that copy of this let
[TS]
02:07:45
◼
►
alone look legit one like you can find like maybe sometimes a VHS multi VHS or
[TS]
02:07:50
◼
►
there it's just it's one of those things that's very hard to find but it's not
[TS]
02:07:54
◼
►
it's not the not the place to start i would say it like it is
[TS]
02:07:59
◼
►
if you are a godfather fans have its such with the new scenes or old deleted
[TS]
02:08:04
◼
►
scenes brought back as a whole new way to watch the movie so what it's you
[TS]
02:08:07
◼
►
you can go if you have HBO Go or HBO now it's AI don't know why they have to run
[TS]
02:08:12
◼
►
things HBO Go is what I have because I still have cable TV and I have HBO so if
[TS]
02:08:16
◼
►
you have take people to manage recognize HBO Go if you don't your quote-unquote
[TS]
02:08:20
◼
►
cord cutter
[TS]
02:08:21
◼
►
that's me sign of that you sign up for HBO now which is exactly like HBO Go
[TS]
02:08:25
◼
►
except you just pay for it and didn't mean there's got to be a very
[TS]
02:08:29
◼
►
interesting reason why that is what you think I guess and it's like maybe like
[TS]
02:08:34
◼
►
well I think we ask but I think license can't exactly the same stuff i think you
[TS]
02:08:38
◼
►
have all the exactly so I think it's like the way that you have to login is
[TS]
02:08:41
◼
►
different i just don't know why they don't make two different apps for it
[TS]
02:08:44
◼
►
I don't know or maybe there's some way that maybe maybe it's so that they can
[TS]
02:08:49
◼
►
just say here's how many HBO now users we have I say sure I don't know but
[TS]
02:08:54
◼
►
anyway but you haven't either with seemingly out of nowhere this thing that
[TS]
02:08:57
◼
►
is like it's I've got it in well in places where one can find things off
[TS]
02:09:03
◼
►
certain trucks I've been looking for this thing for five years because i
[TS]
02:09:06
◼
►
remember when it would come on TV what woman in reruns you will come on
[TS]
02:09:10
◼
►
sometimes I'm like what like USA
[TS]
02:09:12
◼
►
I guess ya une in the nineties but they never had this one that the one that's
[TS]
02:09:16
◼
►
chronological order or did they
[TS]
02:09:19
◼
►
well I think that's like I think was originally called The Godfather sog I
[TS]
02:09:24
◼
►
don't think so too
[TS]
02:09:25
◼
►
you gotta go to Wikipedia page because I think there is there also a version that
[TS]
02:09:28
◼
►
has three in it
[TS]
02:09:30
◼
►
I think so yeah yeah and a difference i mean like so and i don't think i had i
[TS]
02:09:35
◼
►
don't think the Godfather saga had to cut seem to put back in
[TS]
02:09:39
◼
►
okay look I don't think i could your own i had seen when Michael goes to chicago
[TS]
02:09:45
◼
►
to find help me out not Thomasina fabrizzio I remember is definitely see I
[TS]
02:09:52
◼
►
very much remember that and I remember thinking that's the scene i'm glad they
[TS]
02:09:55
◼
►
put in there's a lot of things on command that's sure glad they put in but
[TS]
02:09:58
◼
►
I thought that was great the Great him finding 4bt on be able to work we need a
[TS]
02:10:03
◼
►
spoiler alert here
[TS]
02:10:04
◼
►
yeah probably i don't think it's a big deal it's a big deal jack so you should
[TS]
02:10:10
◼
►
if if you've never seen the Godfather or if you haven't seen it in forever and
[TS]
02:10:16
◼
►
and would like to re-watch it and keep it fresh
[TS]
02:10:19
◼
►
you should start stop listening to the show if mostly to say my thanks to glue
[TS]
02:10:25
◼
►
around and back plays my thanks two morrow and man
[TS]
02:10:28
◼
►
and you can stop the show and my advice and I think you'll agree with me by my
[TS]
02:10:32
◼
►
ending advice to you is just watch the god watch the cinematic releases of the
[TS]
02:10:37
◼
►
Godfather one and godfather to as originally released in chopped up you
[TS]
02:10:43
◼
►
know spoiler alert and chopped-up chronological order
[TS]
02:10:45
◼
►
yeah well you're not chopped up as as in like a you know charlie kaufman movie or
[TS]
02:10:51
◼
►
something no but it's you know but it but it'sit's yeah but I mean watch
[TS]
02:10:54
◼
►
godfather one godfather to each one is better than the other
[TS]
02:10:57
◼
►
they're awfully awfully good right in the best way to watch them really is the
[TS]
02:11:01
◼
►
way that they were originally made whether there's flashbacks interspersed
[TS]
02:11:05
◼
►
with you know you can appreciate so much more that's a little bit like a machete
[TS]
02:11:09
◼
►
order type situation yeah well there's gonna be stuff I like i want to mention
[TS]
02:11:13
◼
►
to you is like it's neat to see young Tessio when he's young but like it's way
[TS]
02:11:18
◼
►
more fun to get all my god that's totally a bogota like that's really cool
[TS]
02:11:22
◼
►
like you appreciate it more in a Darth Vader kind of way
[TS]
02:11:24
◼
►
yeah hey John thanks for having me on this has been great and may your first
[TS]
02:11:27
◼
►
child be a masculine child
[TS]
02:11:30
◼
►
all right now for those of you or like to get that the reason i love this the
[TS]
02:11:36
◼
►
the godfather and again I don't think it's the better way to watch it I would
[TS]
02:11:39
◼
►
never say that and I don't think anybody would i but i think it's a fascinating
[TS]
02:11:43
◼
►
way to watch it if you're like me and you somebody who's watched it the
[TS]
02:11:47
◼
►
umpteen times I mean it's a terrible way to watch it for the first time in right
[TS]
02:11:52
◼
►
but it's a great way to watch it if you're overly familiar with it because
[TS]
02:11:56
◼
►
it is sort of like when you're used to listening to an album as an album and
[TS]
02:12:01
◼
►
when you hear certain songs like I hear certain songs from rolling stones are
[TS]
02:12:05
◼
►
led zeppelin or the band's albums i've listened to a gazillion times and when I
[TS]
02:12:10
◼
►
hear the song I know what songs coming next and if i don't hear that song next
[TS]
02:12:13
◼
►
it's not it's disruptive yeah but it's you know interesting it's an interesting
[TS]
02:12:18
◼
►
juxtaposition and it's and it takes me out of my comfort zone watching this The
[TS]
02:12:22
◼
►
Godfather epic does the same thing where I know what comes after this i know we
[TS]
02:12:27
◼
►
go back to the nineteen-fifties and we see Michael do this and instead we stay
[TS]
02:12:31
◼
►
in the nineteen tens and that's disruptive to me and it makes me see
[TS]
02:12:36
◼
►
that in a new way
[TS]
02:12:38
◼
►
plenum and it's funny because watching it in that order in this is much more a
[TS]
02:12:42
◼
►
couple things to note I would be okay i am I thought you're laughing coughing
[TS]
02:12:47
◼
►
dying need some white bread and get some white bread
[TS]
02:12:51
◼
►
well I had two things first of all in the saga which is seven that's seven
[TS]
02:12:56
◼
►
hours long right this isn't think is yeah i love it i took a twitter picture
[TS]
02:13:00
◼
►
of it is you start playing it and it just comes up and it just shows on your
[TS]
02:13:04
◼
►
TV as a seven-hour movie it's a seven-hour movie so two things to note
[TS]
02:13:10
◼
►
is that first of all the first Godfather movie which I think was well over three
[TS]
02:13:15
◼
►
hours to begin with is the lion's share because i think it's also where they
[TS]
02:13:20
◼
►
added the most deleted or you know remove footage with it wouldn't be fair
[TS]
02:13:24
◼
►
to say i may I feel like we were at least two-thirds of the way through the
[TS]
02:13:28
◼
►
seven hours when it would we got into the godfather two part yeah right
[TS]
02:13:33
◼
►
I it seemed like that to me too and then second of all the one that has been much
[TS]
02:13:38
◼
►
more affected by this change in approach is got fucked his godfather to all you
[TS]
02:13:42
◼
►
know in her obvious . wait a minute I'm sorry I'm an idiot because I'm not
[TS]
02:13:45
◼
►
accounting for the stuff from nineteen alright yeah that's it
[TS]
02:13:48
◼
►
duh duh yes so it starts out the movie The Godfather saga starts out with the
[TS]
02:13:54
◼
►
is it's the funeral of vetoes father where Apollo get shot
[TS]
02:13:59
◼
►
yeah I made this mistake you did right completely is so fucking stupid
[TS]
02:14:03
◼
►
right but i do feel like i can't i can't Pepsi challenge this but i do feel like
[TS]
02:14:11
◼
►
the movie that ended up having much more deleted footage was the first one
[TS]
02:14:16
◼
►
not if for no other reason there's a lot more Marlon Brando therefore I mean I
[TS]
02:14:20
◼
►
really noticeable a lot more Marlon Brando IMDb says that the Godfather was
[TS]
02:14:25
◼
►
is a hundred seventy five minutes so it was you know as intended as or as only
[TS]
02:14:29
◼
►
released it was close to three hours
[TS]
02:14:30
◼
►
I mean a hundred seventy five minutes cause call it 30 wow I always thought it
[TS]
02:14:34
◼
►
was over three hours
[TS]
02:14:36
◼
►
well you know I mean once you get up close to three hours it's
[TS]
02:14:41
◼
►
you know it's over three hours and everything I remember that is like I
[TS]
02:14:45
◼
►
I've often thought of often sat down and watch the godfather and gone i can't
[TS]
02:14:48
◼
►
believe the three hours just went by
[TS]
02:14:50
◼
►
yeah you know it sounds silly but I mean it really goes by what are you an IMDb
[TS]
02:14:56
◼
►
like versions i don't know i just wanted I just kind of keeping I just I just
[TS]
02:15:01
◼
►
went IMDb the godfather and it's 1772 so I don't think it's any kind of special
[TS]
02:15:06
◼
►
edition
[TS]
02:15:06
◼
►
oh my gosh console versions I i found myself and i'm not i guess like with
[TS]
02:15:15
◼
►
Star Wars I'm a little bit more of a superfan and I think any additional
[TS]
02:15:20
◼
►
scenes to restored scenes i would instantly now and I've seen the
[TS]
02:15:23
◼
►
Godfather many many times I there are a couple of the scenes that were added
[TS]
02:15:28
◼
►
where I knew instantly wow I've never seen this before and then we are a
[TS]
02:15:32
◼
►
couple when I was like wait a minute have I seen this
[TS]
02:15:34
◼
►
yeah like when it went out Mary goes to talk to chick because the the guy who
[TS]
02:15:41
◼
►
owns the casino a Klingon the claimant well looks like yeah whatever because
[TS]
02:15:50
◼
►
APC died out in front of the dancers
[TS]
02:15:51
◼
►
yeah yeah yeah okay I had this thought well first of all the scene right before
[TS]
02:15:55
◼
►
that was talking at length with him and starts kicking his ass in the casino i
[TS]
02:15:58
◼
►
was trying to remember is that in that's another diet that's one of the ones that
[TS]
02:16:02
◼
►
I couldn't remember is it do i think it was added
[TS]
02:16:05
◼
►
I think it yeah like that the whole thing with the dip and God you know it's
[TS]
02:16:10
◼
►
so funny I was thinking couple loves big stage shows there's so many stage shows
[TS]
02:16:14
◼
►
in The Godfather in the apocalypse now also you think about like all the stages
[TS]
02:16:18
◼
►
with the playboy bunnies and stuff
[TS]
02:16:20
◼
►
yep he's so great or like the donkey show with the show with Superman or like
[TS]
02:16:24
◼
►
all the other shows in Havana it's really interesting that seems like such
[TS]
02:16:26
◼
►
a big thing anyway that's like you know that's a scene that I I think had to be
[TS]
02:16:31
◼
►
addicts I think it would have stuck out to me because to me it emphasized the
[TS]
02:16:35
◼
►
the power dynamics because the casino is a very it you have to actually this is
[TS]
02:16:41

history of American cinema now do I really mean that i would put it up there

with any performance that didn't a domain name one that's empirically
[TS]
02:18:35
◼

better write it sits in that a plus let's just say that there's an a-plus
[TS]
02:18:39
◼
►
category that you can't go past this is one of them
[TS]
02:18:41
◼
►
yes some of the other people who disputed it there were others that were
[TS]
02:18:44
◼
►
out there but it's it's as good as any performance I've ever seen because it
[TS]
02:18:48
◼
►
does like it does likes 10 things at once like one it is completely
[TS]
02:18:53
◼
►
convincing that he is the younger version of Brando that you saw in this
[TS]
02:19:00
◼
►
before it is completely convincing that this is the same guy
[TS]
02:19:04
◼
►
it's a different actor but it's it's like oh my god that's the guy and his
[TS]
02:19:09
◼
►
carriage not even just to catch phrases his carriage and just yes the way that
[TS]
02:19:13
◼
►
he pees exactly like veto but how you imagined him younger he z is very
[TS]
02:19:18
◼
►
dignified and reserved and kind and you could see it before you know he became
[TS]
02:19:24
◼
►
quite the tough guy he became and you feel that he could lose at any point
[TS]
02:19:28
◼
►
well and the other thing that got stuck out to me and when you see it all
[TS]
02:19:31
◼
►
condensed consecutively instead of being interspersed one of the things that
[TS]
02:19:35
◼
►
jumped out to me and you know it i mean it but it just really sticks out to you
[TS]
02:19:39
◼
►
that this is a guy who likes to listen more than he likes to talk and that
[TS]
02:19:44
◼
►
might make a lot of logical sense for the character but it's not the way that
[TS]
02:19:47
◼
►
movie characters are written right because it you tell an actor you don't
[TS]
02:19:52
◼
►
have a lot of lines you know that's worse right that's not good
[TS]
02:19:57
◼
►
deniro makes that work like where he's acting and he is telling you so many
[TS]
02:20:01
◼
►
things about this character and it has almost nothing to do with what he says
[TS]
02:20:04
◼
►
in your your your really articulating something I i didn't have words for when
[TS]
02:20:10
◼
►
i watch this process again the last like three nights I've been watching this and
[TS]
02:20:14
◼
►
you just really articulated something to me you're right in other movies and you
[TS]
02:20:18
◼
►
know like a straw man but another movie is about the number of lines about how
[TS]
02:20:21
◼
►
much you get to put in a pull a face and have an emotion but think about seems
[TS]
02:20:25
◼
►
like thinking about everything with the narrow think about Robert Duvall
[TS]
02:20:29
◼
►
throughout the movie
[TS]
02:20:31
◼
►
yeah arm think about everybody like in the courtroom scenes so much is telling
[TS]
02:20:37
◼
►
so much as telegraph so much is communicated by how each person mutes
[TS]
02:20:42
◼
►
their emotional response right a famous scene like when now and then with the
[TS]
02:20:47
◼
►
first sit down and and Vito to study never tell the family what you're
[TS]
02:20:51
◼
►
thinking like never tell people what's on your mind right never tell anybody
[TS]
02:20:53
◼
►
outside the family will be showing the outside the family what you're thinking
[TS]
02:20:57
◼
►
yes yes and and you see that throughout the movie like when when tom has to go
[TS]
02:21:01
◼
►
into the place where the senator is with the you know within to talk about ya up
[TS]
02:21:06
◼
►
with a little problem with your it had a little problem the girl and the scene is
[TS]
02:21:11
◼
►
it's so awful it's so scary and it's so
[TS]
02:21:14
◼
►
it's not only scary and awful but it's just he Gary is so undignified and the
[TS]
02:21:19
◼
►
way he's trying to kind of like gather up the sheets while he's wearing a towel
[TS]
02:21:22
◼
►
yeah but you but how does robert duvall in that case Telegraph so much of this
[TS]
02:21:27
◼
►
all come on guy as well as oh my god I can't believe this is another fucking
[TS]
02:21:31
◼
►
thing I have to do for the family to you it's all that I have a question about
[TS]
02:21:34
◼
►
that scene because I i'm not in time
[TS]
02:21:36
◼
►
it's so long i'm not done with this yet I think maybe around with you I'm about
[TS]
02:21:40
◼
►
and maybe a little bit more than two-thirds I'm about three-quarters
[TS]
02:21:43
◼
►
through it but I saw that scene last night did did the family set him up
[TS]
02:21:48
◼
►
yeah yeah is that everybody clear or I just had a kind is not well I'm just
[TS]
02:21:53
◼
►
telling you what I think I think they say in particular because our hagun
[TS]
02:21:57
◼
►
makes Thomas a point of saying you're very you're lucky that this is Fredo's
[TS]
02:22:01
◼
►
yeah as we were able to come in and help you I think they probably slipped him a
[TS]
02:22:05
◼
►
Micky yeah and one killed killed the girl
[TS]
02:22:08
◼
►
yeah that's exactly what I think it's and that's why you can't you know

02:22:11
◼
►
remember anything right
[TS]
02:22:13
◼
►

[TS]
02:22:17
◼
►
love in that role he's so good he's such a scumbag giri I like the way that he
[TS]
02:22:24
◼
►
has he's he's at first time we see him at a young Anthony's first communion
[TS]
02:22:32
◼
►
party and he's reading from these cards perfect it's perfect now with a special
[TS]
02:22:38
◼
►
performance that like he's obviously has no idea what they're going to play
[TS]
02:22:42
◼
►
I like it when I like it when he says vyto Corley I don't Carly on vital core
[TS]
02:22:48
◼
►
Leon yeah he's good and his wife mrs. Geary yeah so then I said I said that
[TS]
02:22:58
◼
►
this the Syracuse i think i said this to us this to other people think that
[TS]
02:23:01
◼
►
strikes me throughout these movies maybe even especially godfather 2 is the minor
[TS]
02:23:07
◼
►
there's so many people I like i remember i still remember like the cop who guides
[TS]
02:23:12
◼
►
video out of the line at Ellis Island I remember the guy with the accordion and
[TS]
02:23:17
◼

02:23:18
◼
►
it went and when when Fredo greets Mike so Las Vegas
[TS]
02:23:23
◼
►
i I just I filter so many faces in this movie that I remember so clearly either
[TS]
02:23:28
◼
►
they want a speaking part they still feel like a giant part of the movie and
[TS]
02:23:31
◼
►
the I the nurse who's the only other person in the hospital when micro just
[TS]
02:23:36
◼
►

[TS]
02:23:41
◼
►
that nurse comes in and just says like you can't be here and says it with that
[TS]
02:23:47

sort of authority we're like let's just say that you're you know you're you know
[TS]
02:23:53

Mafia you just there to see somebody in your family is in the hospital and a
[TS]
02:24:01

◼
►

[TS]
02:24:14
◼
►
it's it's a vivid performance it's like it you know she's got I don't know three
[TS]
02:24:19
◼
►
or four lines but and but it's a great little interaction the way that Michael
[TS]
02:24:24
◼
►

[TS]
02:24:34
◼
►
yeah I started let's lift of this 25 long time ago five incredibly minor
[TS]
02:24:38
◼
►
characters from The Godfather because there's and there's just so many and you
[TS]
02:24:42
◼
►
know and I guess the game's read reviews somebody's telling me who is a producer
[TS]
02:24:44
◼
►
on the film that actually also got left out to lucas from Coppola Francis from
[TS]
02:24:50
◼
►
zoetrope by that
[TS]
02:24:52
◼
►
yeah I mean whoever was responsible for getting those faces in their it they
[TS]
02:24:55
◼
►
were really clicking on all cylinders on the cinematography everything about this
[TS]
02:24:59
◼
►
movie it's so gorgeous how much darker could be seen as get you can barely make
[TS]
02:25:03
◼
►
out the figures the shadows of two people in a room and get completely
[TS]
02:25:06
◼
►
no it's it's amazing and then when there is a scene and all of a sudden when
[TS]
02:25:11
◼
►
there is a scene in the sunshine amazing the way we want it we talked about this
[TS]
02:25:14
◼
►
before so we talked about this you watch the documentary where god I feel so bad
[TS]
02:25:20
◼
►
that Haskell Wexler what's the guy's name was the cinematographers name
[TS]
02:25:24
◼
►
Roger Deakins no it's not but it's I could just go look it up on the Internet
[TS]
02:25:30
◼
►
yeah i hear a thousand people screaming Gordon Willis Gordon Willis changing
[TS]
02:25:37
◼
►
said he basically stopping here if I got this wrong he lit those scenes but as
[TS]
02:25:45
◼
►
dark as talking to mama and the house as light as the wedding outside the wedding
[TS]
02:25:49
◼
►
is completely blown out to the edge of exposure can barely make out figures
[TS]
02:25:52
◼
►
inside you know there's certain scenes like you can barely make up the figures
[TS]
02:25:56
◼
►
he said if you move one stop in either direction it would ruin it would ruin
[TS]
02:25:59
◼
►
the movie he was so particular
[TS]
02:26:03
◼
►
he's like a few 51 if you move one stop up that is gonna screw up all the
[TS]
02:26:07
◼
►
wedding scenes it's gonna be unusable if you once top-down you literally for
[TS]
02:26:10
◼
►
people to see anything on screen in the boathouse right but it's just if it's I
[TS]
02:26:15
◼
►
got a microcosm of like the way and then in the godfather to in the in the movie
[TS]
02:26:21
◼
►
order that you're in the Michael Corleone error and then you go back to
[TS]
02:26:27
◼
►
Young veto and right go back to Michael and then you go back to in The Godfather
[TS]
02:26:32
◼
►
you're in this dark office that is so dark and so serious and so somber and
[TS]
02:26:39
◼
►
then you're out there with this great italian music and the dancing and and
[TS]
02:26:44
◼
►
the fun and the rain shine it's the same thing it's the exact same thing and it's
[TS]
02:26:48
◼
►
just the right amount of this and then just the right amount of that but
[TS]
02:26:51
◼
►
there's a lot of stuff where light ends up playing an important role or light
[TS]
02:26:54
◼
►
almost becomes a character certainly in terms of like the with our question but
[TS]
02:26:58
◼
►
think about the scene the entire sequence with going after fanucci during
[TS]
02:27:03
◼
►
the parade
[TS]
02:27:04
◼
►
holy shit like I just like I have like 50 things to say about that entire
[TS]
02:27:08
◼
►
sequence how they pulled that off with the side you know tracking shots that
[TS]
02:27:12
◼
►
they do and him on the roof but then the scene when he gets into the building and
[TS]
02:27:16
◼
►
he's waiting outside the door fanucci and has towel and he undoes the light
[TS]
02:27:20
◼
►
bulb know in the future comes up and does this like tap tap tap to get the
[TS]
02:27:24
◼
►
lights back on and he's back
[TS]
02:27:25
◼
►
ah it's just it's exquisite because the light is a I don't know it's just it's
[TS]
02:27:29
◼
►
just so gorgeous light is a character in that scene i can't help comparing it
[TS]
02:27:33
◼
►
because it's on my mind because the new movie came out
[TS]
02:27:36
◼
►
and you know obviously Lucas and Coppola were peers and and good friends and come
[TS]
02:27:41
◼
►
up at the same time and they know each other but to compare and contrast their
[TS]
02:27:46
◼
►
stewardship over there
[TS]
02:27:48
◼
►
fantastic seventies masterpieces
[TS]
02:27:52
◼
►
yeah and when the ways that Coppola has gone back to the godfather and put the
[TS]
02:27:57
◼
►
Godfather three side number one that got fired three is way better than the
[TS]
02:28:00
◼
►
prequels for the Star Wars movies whatever you think of the Godfather
[TS]
02:28:03
◼
►
three that's it's disappointing but it's not a dumpster fire right it's not you
[TS]
02:28:10
◼
►
know right it's not a disaster right nobody nobody complained about the
[TS]
02:28:13
◼
►
Godfather three the way they complain about the Star Wars prequels and then
[TS]
02:28:16
◼
►
what he did with the Godfather one godfather two are things that like
[TS]
02:28:20
◼
►
people like me and you are just praising to know and we're not saying hey don't
[TS]
02:28:24
◼
►
watch them the way they were originally released for saying watching like that
[TS]
02:28:27
◼
►
first and then watch it this way and you'll gain more perspective
[TS]
02:28:29
◼
►
whereas what Lucas did with the quote-unquote special editions like and
[TS]
02:28:35
◼
►
I got found myself thinking about talking about this i knew that i wanted
[TS]
02:28:38
◼
►
to have you on the show this weekend we talked about this and I started thinking
[TS]
02:28:41
◼
►
in my head of like what the like Lucas special edition of the gun fabric would
[TS]
02:28:47
◼
►
be and like this day he would like CGI the faces like Michaels Michaels wounds
[TS]
02:28:55
◼
►
from the cop beating him up would be much more like elaborate yeah exactly
[TS]
02:28:58
◼
►
that's exactly one
[TS]
02:29:00
◼
►
ok so one of the things that stuck out to me everybody knows Star Wars was
[TS]
02:29:04
◼
►
groundbreaking special effects because it showed you these things that were
[TS]
02:29:07
◼
►
impossible like a giant you know two-mile-long starship yeah
[TS]
02:29:12
◼
►
whereas the special effects in The Godfather though are amazing i find that
[TS]
02:29:17
◼
►
their street shot from for being made in like nineteen
[TS]
02:29:21
◼
►
early nineteen seventies the street shots of like old New York whether
[TS]
02:29:26
◼
►
you're talking the nineteen fifties or nineteen forties or you're talking all
[TS]
02:29:31
◼
►
the way back to the 19 tens they're all a hundred percent convincing and I i
[TS]
02:29:37
◼
►
I'm guessing they did it with like matte paintings
[TS]
02:29:41
◼
►
that's how they did a lot of like wide shots back then you know before the
[TS]
02:29:44
◼
►
digital age
[TS]
02:29:46
◼
►
but they're all just convincing and I don't know how they did it
[TS]
02:29:49
◼
►
I'd I really don't but it's just they sweated so much of the details in I
[TS]
02:29:53
◼
►
feels like to me like just dumb stuff like I was noticing when when Michael
[TS]
02:29:57
◼
►
pulls up and i'm in Roth house and he's in like a Thunderbird that red and black
[TS]
02:30:00
◼
►
thunderbird there's a little parking sticker in the window that looks
[TS]
02:30:04
◼
►
completely contemporaneous to the time like somebody sweated that somebody got
[TS]
02:30:08
◼
►
that and put that in there but also need to think about stuff like not to you
[TS]
02:30:12
◼
►
know go for the obvious one but the authenticity of like some of the
[TS]
02:30:17
◼
►
shootings
[TS]
02:30:19
◼
►
yeah i mean i remember reading one time I think I saw a Life magazine article
[TS]
02:30:22
◼
►
even as a kid about shooting the scene at the at the toll bridge with Sonny
[TS]
02:30:28
◼
►
oh yeah and like what was involved in that I mean think about all the moving
[TS]
02:30:32
◼
►
pieces in that it's it's mind-boggling or like the scene you know again the
[TS]
02:30:36

◼
►

[TS]
02:38:27
◼

[TS]
02:39:22
◼

[TS]
02:39:42
◼
►
here is there any like test footage out there I see if i have a link here it's
[TS]
02:39:48

that might exist and it might be 2626 gigabyte MK bit okay okay but if you
[TS]
02:40:13
◼
►
look just at the stuff that's out there it's a bunch of still frames her and
[TS]
02:40:17
◼
►
they show you like what they had from that because they went from a
[TS]
02:40:20
◼
►
35-millimeter print so that's not really that's not a great starting place now
[TS]
02:40:25
◼
►
they want and that's a product not a source yeah they went from there and
[TS]
02:40:29
◼
►
that's why they went through literally frame by frame and you know like sort of
[TS]
02:40:34
◼
►
as they did with the Godfather right have to go through and frame by frame
[TS]
02:40:37
◼
►
like rebuild this Indiana so just for example like one of the things that had
[TS]
02:40:40
◼
►
to do with this negative 1 printed new hope was that it like the initial
[TS]
02:40:46
◼
►
digital scans of the space scenes didn't even you could even see the stars they
[TS]
02:40:49
◼
►
had to do work just to get the dip my good measure up to get the storm but
[TS]
02:40:55
◼
►
they it's I I've literally I'm not even trying to be clear I don't have the
[TS]
02:41:01
◼
►
digital copy what's out there
[TS]
02:41:02
◼
►
look yet i'm 10 I mean like this is not this is not difficult to find
[TS]
02:41:06
◼
►
information there's a site there's a several places you can get go to but one
[TS]
02:41:10
◼
►
is called original trilogy right where they have discussion forums about the
[TS]
02:41:14
◼
►
different versions that are out there right but one of the things though that
[TS]
02:41:18
◼
►
it's like it with the what do you call the ones that are the d specialized
[TS]
02:41:22
◼
►
additions that a lot of well there's there's two there's two did you think to
[TS]
02:41:25
◼
►
general genres and people will correct me on this but I think one is uh fan
[TS]
02:41:31
◼
►
edits where people like so that something like this is like the Phantom
[TS]
02:41:34
◼
►
editor right where you go in and you kind of remake your own version of how
[TS]
02:41:37
◼
►
you think it should be or all the way down to a fanfiction kind of idea making
[TS]
02:41:41
◼
►
several movies together as fan edits and then what is the other version called
[TS]
02:41:45
◼
►
like you've got that the Army is in kind of a different thing where harmony
[TS]
02:41:49
◼
►
specialized versions are just what is the highest quality source version that
[TS]
02:41:54
◼
►
is what was in the original theatrical release right basically putting together
[TS]
02:41:58
◼
►
and then which is harder than it sounds because you have to get the sound
[TS]
02:42:01
◼
►
editing right to but even with his versions i think one of the things
[TS]
02:42:04
◼
►
that's lost just from going with all the diddling that Lucas Adam over the years
[TS]
02:42:08
◼
►
is that the color correction is off and the film grain texture is gone from what
[TS]
02:42:15
◼
►
you see and that it's it's the lord's work and it's the way i would recommend
[TS]
02:42:19
◼
►
anybody watching those movies if they can get their hands on them but one of
[TS]
02:42:24
◼
►
the things that that like its Lucas somehow had this version to the
[TS]
02:42:29
◼
►
technical limits of film of the seventies and
[TS]
02:42:32
◼
►
I it's like his as his sensibilities changed on the way you do color
[TS]
02:42:36
◼
►
correction and and the color temperature of things they change those original
[TS]
02:42:40
◼
►
things to do it whereas to mom again i can't say that i remember seeing the
[TS]
02:42:44
◼
►
Godfather in the theater because it came out in theatres before i was born but it
[TS]
02:42:48
◼
►
the way that Coppola has overseen you know that this footage it embraces the
[TS]
02:42:54
◼
►
film grain and it embraces the color temperatures and and you know color mean
[TS]
02:43:00
◼
►
like in the end I understand if I have watched the documentary a couple years
[TS]
02:43:03
◼
►
but it is a very good documentary both as a story and as a technical document
[TS]
02:43:07
◼
►
but that but basically the grain was not seen as certainly as noise part of the
[TS]
02:43:11
◼
►
restoration was not screwing up the grain right where as part of the special
[TS]
02:43:15
◼
►
editions and whatever for Star Wars was let's get rid of this grain that we
[TS]
02:43:18
◼
►
wouldn't have if we shot it today which you know and anyway that's what this
[TS]
02:43:23
◼
►
negative one issue of a new hope apparently you know it embraces the film
[TS]
02:43:29
◼
►
grain and you can see it and that you know there's skies that on tattooing
[TS]
02:43:33
◼
►
that are completely blown out which is the way it looked when we were kids
[TS]
02:43:36
◼
►
instead of being bright blue like they are in the prints we know today
[TS]
02:43:39
◼
►
oh my goodness that's so interesting I'll keep an eye out for that anyway
[TS]
02:43:44
◼
►
yeah I don't you know I hate to be overly critical that's it so fashionable
[TS]
02:43:49
◼
►
to beat up on George Lucas or what we perceive George Lucas to be but you know
[TS]
02:43:53
◼
►
it's just the part the part that makes it difficult and complicated I'm not the
[TS]
02:43:57
◼
►
first person to say this is that when we start to wonder if what we love about
[TS]
02:44:02
◼
►
Star Wars what he loved about Star Wars not that has to matter but like I bet
[TS]
02:44:06
◼
►
you could sit in a room with Coppola and watch that movie and he would be excited
[TS]
02:44:10
◼
►
to watch it
[TS]
02:44:11
◼
►
yeah where he would go I can't believe we got that like you know like just they
[TS]
02:44:15
◼
►
can that shot you have no idea how hard it was to get that shot looking you know
[TS]
02:44:17
◼
►
where as you know with Lucas I mean I wonder if he even enjoys any version of
[TS]
02:44:22
◼
►
that film because it really just feels like it's an ongoing it's an ongoing
[TS]
02:44:25
◼
►
christmas tree in his life that he's constantly redecorating depending on how
[TS]
02:44:28
◼
►
he feels right now not based on like what the ideal version this would be but
[TS]
02:44:32
◼
►
I don't know and I i know that's unkind but that's the part is where you go like
[TS]
02:44:36
◼
►
it's really strange like when he got left to his own devices with a not
[TS]
02:44:40
◼
►
unlimited but very generous budget didn't get battery he didn't produce
[TS]
02:44:45

what we explain what we hoped or like what you know when we thought of george
