Good Morning!
Do you enjoy watching football?

Love it!

i never miss my team's game during the season.

do you?

I watch it all the time!

Who is your favorite team?

Did you know that the average gameplay of a game is 11 minutes long?

yea which makes me feel jipped haha i devote 2+ hours to watching jus for 11 minutes!~ I like the Pats.

How about you?

I like the Vikings.

I wonder how long commericals are during that time.

I never knew women could play, they just don't make the team!

do you think any women have tried out for any team yet?

I doubt it.

It would be good to see at some point!

Do you watch baseball too?

I didn't realize managers could play too if they needed to.

I dont, i think baseball is too slow!

I wonder if a manager has ever had to play in an MLB game before.

that would be funny to see

I agree it's too slow.

Japanese people are obsessed with it though in Japan.

they love it so much that Nintendo actually owned the Seattle Mariners for awhile

I think they still have a share in that team!

Let's talk more about that Patriots.

Do you remember Green-Ellis?

He never fumbled the ball in his nfl career.

he was a great player!

did you know that yellow line you see on tv isnt actually on the field?

Yes I knew that haha.

They did win an emmy for that though when they created it.

I always wondered how they moved it around during the game.

it is insanely useful for everyone to have that on screen

It really is.

They have a whole team to do it I'm sure.

Do you have a college football team?

yea but man did we suck!

Only won one game when i was at the school.

The Rams, not too good!

how about you?

I'm a Iowa Hawkeye fan.

I always enjoy people talking about how they paint the visitor's locker room pink.

do you think they do that to psyche the other team out?

Oh for sure.

They also wave at the Children's Hospital after the first quarter which is touching.

that is nice.

I heard the highest scoring game ever was a college game.

Georgia Tech won 222-0. how embarrassing

That is beyond embarrassing!

I wonder what is next in the record book!

im gonna go check!
nice chatting with you


Raiders havent won a Superbowl in a long time if at all?

I'm not really that into football.

Maybe it's because there are only about 11 minutes of live gameplay per game.

Yeah 11 minutes seems like a scam, games lasts for about 3 hours and only 11 minutes of gameplay, totally unfair

Haha.

I wonder if anything will change for the Raiders when they move to Vegas.

I'm kind of sad to see them go since I'm from that area,though I cannot say I'm a fan.

Many fans must be sad, they will gain new fans on the plus side and maybe their drough will be over, changing cities can be a good thing, the stadium must be really nice

It seems like it's still unclear as to where the Raiders will play in 2019

It seems like a college stadium is a likely fit for the team, its a complicated issue, lets hope the stadium is ready quickly

Yeah, it really is a complicated matter.

The city is expected to file an antitrust lawsuit over the Raiders' move to Las Vegas.

It seems like a long fight, that will take a lot of time to settle, the lawsuit has to materialize yet so maybe they wont find enough to keep it

The Chronicle thinks it will happen.

However, the Raiders probably do not hold a great hand.

Yeah it seems like they broke an agreement, they should have thought twice before changing cities.

Yeah there are a bunch of reasons why it can't be in the Bay Area or Las Vegas so we shall see.

Yeah, so you said youre not really into fooball but do you have a favorite team?

I just like teams from the bay area, haha.

That would be the Raiders and 49ers.

How about you?

I see lol, well mine is in the AFC, and just won the Superbowl,can you guess what team im talking about?

The Patriots, yes they are an awesome team!

It's interesting how much technology there is in football today.

There are tracking chips in shoulder pads and footballs.

Yeah the Patriots, thats my favorite team and it is interesting!

technology has advanced so much that chips can tell us all kinds of cool stats about the game

Yeah.
Espn's yellow line helps me out a bit.
They even won an Emmy for that.

Do you think ESPN deserved an emmy for that?

Haha, not sure.

It's interesting how much Americans love football now.

In the 60s top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.

They did?

I dont see them making more money now a days, football players are loaded, they earn a lot of money

Yes.

Surprisingly though, the average engineer makes more over a lifetime and the average NFL player.

Well it takes football players only a few years then their carreers are over, engineers work more years overall


Hi there, do you watch the NFL?

I used to watch before all of the kneeling and protesting

Oh I see.

DId you know that women can play in the NFL as well?

yeah, I saw that.

The lawyers are licking their chops on that idea

I wonder if any women have at least tried to qualify as there is no rule that denies them that

I don't think so, I havent heard of any trying out.

Seems like it would be all over the "news" if that happened.

Yeah I agree.

Did you hear they are using tracking chips on the players now in the field?

yeah looks like they are putting them in the balls too.

ahh technology

Yeah and they are tracking velocity and rotation and a bunch of other stuff too

guess they need to know who has the fastest spinning spiral

Maybe and I somehow hope they can use that data to make the game safer too for the players

I think it's safer today.

The refs/league let them get away with much more back in the day

I guess so.

Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?

I did not see that one.
That's a pretty bizarre rule.

Yeah it is, I just do not understand why they cannot eat in the same place as the players.

something must have happened at some point that they created that rule.

I guess so.

THe worst part about it though is that they have to leave mid meal if they walk in

yeah, not sure how they got away with that rule.

seems pretty unfair

It sure does.

Did you know there are only 11 minutes of active game play in an NFL game?

yeah that's another one that's hard to believe.

Seems like even the highlights of the game are longer than that

Yeah exactly, I guess there is a lot of downtime in there


Do you follow the NFL?
Do you have a favorite team?

I do!
I love the Cowboys.
How about you?

I love the Cowboys as well, what do you think about their current season?

The played pretty well this past season, it was a bummer they didn't make it far in the playoffs.

But I guess it wouldn't be a Super Bowl without the Patriots involved somehow.

I hate the Patriots, they are always in the Superbowl and usually win it, it makes the league a lot less compettitive, what are your thoughts on O.J  Simpson?

He's a murderer.

I agree, he got a away with murder but he was a great player I think the media had a lot to fo with him getting away with it

Ironically, Homer Simpson from "The Simpsons" had a dream of owning the Cowboys.

I wonder if they wrote that in as a dog to OJ.

I think that happened in the 13th season, wonder if they made that on purpose I bet it was,

It's crazy to think how much money it costs to make a football stadium

I have no idea but im guessing a lot of money, players do earn a lot

There's a high school stadium in Texas that cost $60 million to make!

Just the flags used at football stadiums are expensive.

$60 million wow, that is a lot of money for a stadium, we love to spend money on unneserary things meanwhile kids are starving

Well, it was a bunch of wealthy white men in Texas who funded the project, I'm sure.

Though it says something that the three highest paid positions across all of the US Dept of Defense are the coaches of the football teams for the respective service branches.

That is really unfair so do you also like baseball or just a football fan?

Sure, I like baseball.
It is America's pasttime, after all.
How about you?

I like it, apparently the sport is also really popular in Japan

That's cool.

Were you happy to see the Cubs break their losing streak a couple of years ago?

I was, they sure had a strong curse seems like a unreal thing but they suffered for a lot of years

Yeah.

The early 1900s.

They were the first team to ever win back to back, then never again until 2016.

Crazy!

Well, it's been nice talking to you today.

That is crazy, I wonder how they broke the curse and its been great talking to you as well have a nice day friend

Maybe the curse just had a time limit over 110 years?

Haha.

Fairwell!


Hello, whar are your thoughts on The Raiders, do you like football?

Hi, I am not really a big football fan but I follow from time to time.

It's going to be interesting to see where they play this year!

I know right, wonder if they are going to play in vegas this year, maybe next

I guess it all depends on whether or not Oakland files an antitrust suit.

I hope they do.

I am sick of all these teams moving around

Yeah make an example out of them, the team is letting down a whole city and thats not fair

Completely agree.

Did you know that there were only 11 minutes of action in a NFL game?

Only 11 minutes?
that seems like a scam

Yeah lol.

Definitely not getting your money's worth!

Yeah, seems really unfair, tickets are really expensive and then all those annoying ads, I still like the game though

Yep, the game is entertaining for sure.

Also, there is no rule against female players.

That might make it more entertaining lol

It would, although I would have the stomach to watch that, watching a woman getting tackled by those monster trucks, a real tragedy

It could get ugly fast.

Engineers make more money than NFL players, so they'd be better off becoming engineers

They make more money?

wow, thats probably because of the short carreers they tend to have, football players

Agreed.

I don't know how long an average NFL career is, but I would guess its just a few seasons.

There is also the risk of injuries, that can end a carreer fast, and most players end with financial problems so maybe not worth it

Very true.

The NFL does put trackers in players shoulder pads and in the ball.

Hopefully that data will help the game become safer

Seems a bit invasive if you ask me, I think placing the chips on the balls is a great idea,many cool stats come out of them

Do you know what the highest score in a football game ever was?

No, dont know about that game  maybe lik 150-7?

It was 222-0.

Geaorgia Tech beat Cumberland back in 1916

Wow that is a humiliating defeat, poor team


How are you?
Do you like the NFL?

I do, I like watching football every sunday when its on, do you?

I love watching football too.

Did you know the NFL has no written rule against females playing?

I always wondered that!
why arent there any players you think?

I'm not too sure on that one.

The average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.

did you know an average engineer will make more over his lifetime than an NFL player?

That's pretty amazing.

Just goes to show how short lived the average NFL career is.

and how lucrative it is to be an engineer!

Very much so.

I saw that the NFL uses tracking chips embedded in players' shoulder pads.

i bet those were designed by those well paid engineers!

its a good idea to track stats and position and whatnot

I bet.

It says they are tracking every move on the field to gather data on velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location

they must be pretty durable if they dont ever get crushed from all the tackling

I agree.

The University of Iowa painted their opposing team locker room pink.

i bet that was too psyche out the visiting time when they play against them, get into their heads before the game

I bet.
I wonder how well that actually works?
I bet it doesn't do too much.

it might just be for fun, like a playful joke.

even if it doesnt work, its kind of funny

I think it's funny too.

In the 1960's, the top bowlers earned twice as much as the top NFL stars.

I wonder how much a bowler can earn nowadays, you dont hear bout them very often

I bet they don't make that much.
Bowling really lost popularity.

big time, its almost seen as a punchline these days

It was a good time chatting with you.

yes for sure!


I wonder why the media made such a big deal about the Cowboys.

Perhaps you could tell me.

People love their football.

I think they have really good marketing.

Seems like Dallas affiliated people are showing up all over TV.

I would expect people would talk more about the Patriots instead of the cowboys since they won superbowl games many times.

Yeah, something about that blue star looks cooler on clothes I think.

Football is still big here.

We have 14 of the worlds 25 largest stadiums.

NFL is very powerful.
They have no competition.

They've come a long way since 1932.

It has 32 professional footballs.

And squeeze all of them into 17 weeks with 16 games each.

What I meant earlier was "32 teams".
16 games in 17 weeks only?

Yeah, that's a lot of games in a short amount of time.

The superbowl usually runs in February.

So, what do the NFL teams do in January?

Playoffs, if they're one of the 12 teams that make the cut.

I see.

The two teams that go to the superbowl, do they have to be from the two different conferences (NFC and AFC) or they can be from NFC or AFC only?

One from eacn, a champion form the NFC and the AFC.

I see.

Thank you for the info.

Did you watch the last superbowl in person or on tv?

I watched it.

I'm wondering what I can do to be an on-air sports analyst.

That job seems easy to me.

It is a fun job, I'm sure.

Are you familiar with Romo?

Is he or was he an on-air sports analyst?

Yeah, he's with one of the networks.
I think Aikman is on Fox.

I learned a lot about NFL and football from you.

You should be an analyst.

Thanks!

I get around I suppose.

Even old Joe Namath got to be an analyst.

I've got to run.
Nice chatting with you.


Football is a team sport, kicking the ball in various degrees to score a goal.

Sports commonly called football in certain place include association football.

I love NFL football!

Which is your favourite team ?

Raider Nation here!

The NFL has no written rule against female players.

They are allowed to join a team if they meet the league eligibility requirements.

That would be great to see.

NFL uses the tracking chips to record the movement of the players in the field.

Each team really wants to win that trophy!

I think it helps them figure out how to prevent injuries too.

The NFL seasons runs from September to December.

Each team wants to play 16 games, one each week.

That is a lot of games considering there are 32 teams.

Yes.

All the team want to win the trophy.

The team with most of the championships in the NFL is the Green Bay Packers.

All this for a game with only 11 minutes of actual game play.

The average lifetime earnings of an NFL player is higher than other sports' players.

All the team members want to lift the trophy.

Espn invented the yellow line.

Baseball is america's national pastime but it is very popular in Japan also.

Many of the Japanese love baseball.

Managers can actually play!

Sometimes.

They wear the uniform if they're technically able to play for their teams.

Kickball is called soccer baseball in canada.

Yes.

The highest score in a football game occurred in October 1916: Georgia tech defeated Cumberland 222-0.

I would have forfeited by halftime if I were cumberland.

The whole game was played.

Cumberland fans cried for the great loss.

haha,  Im sure.
Take care and have a good night.

Sweet dreams.
Have a great day also.

sweet dreams

In baseball the team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is the winner.


Are you more of a baseball or football fan?

I actually love them both, you?

At my age, I prefer to play baseball, but prefer to watch football.

You?

I don't play either anymore haha although I'm not that old.

I like to watch football a little bit more but they run during different seasons so I can watch both.

You know, back in the 1960s, bowlers would make more money than football players.

Now that is a sport I cannot understand why people would watch rather than play.

Haha it's randomly on ESPN every now and then.

I wouldn't be surprised if the top bowlers still make more than some NFL players.

The highest scoring football game was 222-0, which sounds more like a bowling score!

How does that happen?

It's got to be a very mis-matched college or high school game.

I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to be the team that scored 0

Really!

A loss like that is demoralizing, but so is walking into the University of Iowas's visitors locker room, because the entire room is painted pink!

It's a good to mess with the other teams head.

Are you a fan of a particular team in either sport?

I usually prefer AFC over NFC in the Superbowl because most of my favorite teams and players are AFC.

In baseball and college football, I prefer to cheer for my local college teams.

Not a Patriots fan are you?

Begrudgingly.

I grew up in the shadow of Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, and the Patriots were never my heroes.

But there is no denying the successes of the Brady/Belichick era.

You?

Haha I can't stand them.

Did you know their former RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled once during his career?

A noteworthy record indeed.

He made it easy on the Referees, since ball placement was always easy with him.

That superimposed yellow line ESPN got an Emmy for was always put down in the right place.

I don't know about, but I couldn't imagine watching a game without the yellow line now.

Well deserved Emmy.

With their new technology, like putting tracking chips in the balls, I would imagine yellow line placement might become computerized in the future.

Just what we need, an AI referee!

I might not hate that idea.

Think about how much faster the game would be.

I think about that a lot with baseball.

Faster football game?

he live gameplay is limited to about 11 minutes.

How much faster do you want it to get?

LOL

Haha well there would be less time wasted if everything was decided split second.

Plus they seem to be putting a lot of tech into these games to begin with!

I would be in favor of shorter games if it meant less talking head time...Most commentators not my taste.

Nice chatting with you!


Do you like to go to concerts?

Yes.

One of my favorite bands played 2263 concerts.

The Ramones toured almost non stop for 20 years.

The Ramones are a great band, one of my favorites as well and 2263 concerts!

wow that is insane!

I know!

Well it seems like Linkin Park was on their way to catching up to that number.

They played 324 concerts in 2001 alone.

That is also insane, thats like 1 concert per day, I wonder how they did that

I know.

I didn't realize they were that popular.

Unlike the band Creed who played a concert so bad that four concert goers filed a lawsuit.

I heard that concert was terrible imagine getting sued lol,

That must have been really bad.

Pink Floyd would not have had the same problem.

First, they are a great band and secondly they played an Ancient Roman Amphitheater with no audience.

I wonder what where his reasons behind that, sounds like a great venue for a full concert, lots of money

I think they recorded it and then shared the recording with fans but no one was there to witness them live.

Still a great venue like that ancient Roman amphitheater in Croatia, a place with a lot of history

That would be so cool to see a concert there.

Much more exciting than a football game that only has 11 minutes of live game play.

11 minutes doesnt seem like a long time, I heard a team lost 222-0 once, 11 painful minutes

I agree.

I always felt like sports players made too much money.

I was happy to learn that the average earnings of an engineer are more than that of an NFL or MLB player.

I guess engineers study harder and work harder than players, both are reallly rewarding careers.

It is also nice to know that there is no rule against female players, they just need to meet the league's requirements.

I wonder why no woman has played in the league then, it must be really hard to meet those requirements and also have a coach that will start you on the team

I think so.

Maybe as a kicker women could have more luck.

Although it seems unlikely when you hear a New Orleans Saints cheerleader has to leave a restaurant if a player is there.

That could work and that is a terrible rule, the NFL should ban that rule, so unfair

I agree otherwise football player should go back t making less than bowlers like in the 1960s.

Yeah its crazy how bowlers used to make more money back in the day.


Are you a Jets fan?

I am not.
Are you?

I follow the Cowboys but I heard the other day that they offered Ndamukong Suh a big offer to come to their team.

The Jets?

They must be desperate for someone to be a huge disappointment.

He's not that good.

Well looks like they figured that out and rescinded the offer.

I heard it was a pretty big surprise.

Didn't he sign with the rams after they rescinded that?

And isn't bowles fired?

I had not heard, I just know that they said it didn't seem to be in keeping with their longer-term plan.

I can't believe how much football players make these days.

Back in the 60's a top bowler made twice as much as a football player.

How times have changed.

I know.

And the careers are so short.

Engineers often make more than the avg football player.

That sounds about right considering most players don't play that long.

I heard that espn won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow first down line.

I had no idea you could win an award for that!

I feel like that does not rise to the level of emmy worthy.

They put that in the same category as really important art...

I agree.

I just think it is crazy that they put tracking chips in the football and on the players gear to record everything.

They are taking this to the next level for sure.

Yeah.

If there is money to be made, they will find a way.

I hope they use it to keep the players safe and not just to sell data.

I hope so too.

I can't believe that most NFL games only have 11 minutes of live game play.

Basically it is mostly them in the huddles!

Yeah.

It's not against the rules for a woman to play in the NFL

Thank goodness.

Just in case I would like to try a new career!

It would stink to be a New Orleans Saint cheerleader.

They can't even eat in the same restaurant if there is a NFL player.

They have to leave if one comes in.

Double standard.

I feel like the player should leave and not the cheerleader.

What's the saying, possession isn't 9/10 of the law...

They're in there, you leave!

Absolutely.

It is ridiculous!

I wonder if the university of iowa was thinking about the cheerleaders when they painted the locker room for the visiting team pink?

The NFL was originally named the american professional football association.

That does not roll off the tongue...

Not at all!

How do you feel about who won the Super Bowl this year?

I was fine with it.
I appreciate the excellence.
You?

Same!
How can you deny Tom Brady.
He is crazy good!
It was nice chatting with you.


Hey, I love the Lions and the teammate Ndamukong Suh.

I am from Chicago so I must hate the Lions.

Bear down!

He eventually signed with the Rams.

Oh nice!

I am a huge Packers fan from California!

Ha.

Ndamukong spent three years with the Dolphins.

How do you become a packers fan in California?

It is in my blood to despise them.

I know, it's a weird thing!
I should be a Rams fan.

Did you move from Wisconsin?

No, I just married a Packer fan and we had Packer babies.

Ha!

We met at a Ramones concert a long long time ago.

The Ramones traveled a lot and did concerts for 20 years non stop.

I love the ramones.
Almost as much as I love Hybrid Theory!

Oh yeah, me too!

The Ramones played 2,263 concerts over the years.

I saw the Go-Go's open for them with the Flaming Lips.

The Flaming Lips?

They're that old (not that the Ramones are old but comparatively)?

Yep, I saw them in the very beginning.

They are from Oklahoma City and were just a local band that was unknown.

Wow.

That's cool.

I love the "I saw them in a bar with 20 people" stories.

I have one about Dave Matthews but the venue had like 2,000 in 1993

Oh wow!

That is cool.

I have never seen Dave Matthews.

I actually watched that show at Oklahoma University (OU), the home of Mayfield!

Nice.
He almost quit football for gaming.
Would've been a poor choice.

Oh man!

That is a fun fact for sure!

I had learned that the University of Iowa's locker room is painted pink, for the visiting teams.

HAHA!

Another poor choice!

I wonder if that actually works.

Scientifically, have they proved it works or is it just some pink paint?

I am pretty sure it is just used for getting under their skin.

I bet it has zero proof behind the idea.

Did you know that the yellow line superimposed on the tv was the creation of ESPN?

Didn't they win an emmy for that line?

I had no idea the bar was so low for emmys…

HA!
I know it, right?
Super low.

The game only has 11 minutes too!

Why give it to something with only 11 minutes of useful life?

Yeah, totally right!

Football is called soccer in a lot of places too, lol


Did you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders cannot eat in the same restaurant as a Saints player?

They have to leave the place if the player comes in.

I recently seen this somewhere, and thought was outrageous.

I think it is outrageous too because what if the cheerleader is with her family?

Does that mean the cheerleader has to immediately stop eating and leave?

Yeah I believe so.

Do you know why there aren't any female NFL players?

No, I'm not sure.

I guess it's because the nfl is against females playing football.

They don't have a written rule against female players.

I guess a female hasn't tried yet.

Oh, well at least females can play, hopefully there will be one day.

Yeah, especially when the game is really only 11 minutes if you take away all the timeouts and commercials.

That's pretty crazy to think about.

Speaking of football, apparently Snoop Dogg wrote a song for his son's high school football team.

I seen Snoop and his son on Netflix.
A show about the football team.

That's cool I didn't know they were on Netflix.

Snoop was the coach and it was pretty interesting.

Oh that is so cool.

His son ended up quitting football.

Aw, that's sad.

The stadium in Allen, Texas seats 18,000 and cost at least 60 million to build!

Oh that is alot of money!

It should be able to host the Super Bowl the first Sunday in February next year.

It's a high school football stadium, so I don't know if that is a thing or if it's only for universities.

Well all I know is the Super Bowl is the best of the NFC and AFC and it comes down to one champ out of 32 teams.

It is true, I do enjoy watching the Super Bowl.

Me too although it was pretty boring this year.

Yeah, it was very boring.

Have a great night.


Hi, do you like th NFL?

I do like the NFL.
Do you?

I do.
My favorite team is the Chicago Bears.
Do you have a favorite?

I like the Ravens and the Eagles!

Both really good teams!

Although they only play 11 minutes of game time, I still enjoy it.

That is crazy how short the live game actually is.

Did you hear about the tracking chips in players shoulder pads?

I did read something about it.

Do you know anything about them that you shed some light on for me?

They record a players every move on the field!

That is so much data.

I know.

I wonder what they actually do with the data.

Do teams use it or just the NFL.

I am not sure.

I bet every sport will eventually have trackers like that.

Yeah, maybe except baseball.
That seems pretty easy to track.

True.

They even have the tracking chips inside the footballs.

I wonder why they still need a chain gang to measure 10 yards then...

I am not sure.

I am surprised by they do not have it all computerized.

I get irriated when I watch tennis and they can determine in/out in 7 seconds but the NFL runs out old guys with sticks to determine if it went 10 yards...

Seems dated.

I agree.

Do you know when the first nfl playoff game was played?

I have no idea.
When?

In 1932 on an 80 yard long dirt field.

That's a long time ago!

And 80 yards?

Were the players out of shape and could only go 80 yards?

I am not sure how it worked.
It was in Chicago.

It was probably at Wrigley and that's the longest they could make the field.

Nice chatting with you!


hi how are you doing?
do you like cars?

I am ok, yes I like cars a lot, I even have a huge car collection of toys cars, I was saving for years.

i dont have a car at the moment.
i do like cars though.
what do you think of south africa?

Wow that something that it's legal to equip car with flame throwers to prevent carjacking.

i wonder how many people actually do that.

it cant be cheap to do it and maybe other people could get hurt.

Yes you are right, I wonder Jann Mardenborough became a professional race car driver by beating 90,000 people in a video game?

is that true?

that sounds impossible.

how long would it take to play that many games?

Long time, I guess that just build him/her confident to the max, as it became almost like a real reality.

i guess, i would still want to practice behind the wheel of the real thing for a while before racing.

Have you owned a car in the past, I had a sport car back in the days, I like that car so much, because It reminds me of a race car and it had loud pipes and it was a shift.

i used to have a car.

its an expense that i try to avoid if i can.

it was a used car, it ran, thats about it.

it was automatic.

Did you know that Mcdonald's added a drive-thru in 1975 to accommodate soldiers that weren't allow to get out of there cars while wearing fatigues.

it thought that the drive thru was way older than that because the us has such a car culture.

great innovation in keeping us overfed and immobile.

LOL

Yes you are right, do you watched a lot of TV when you aren't busy, Do you still have some of the old black and white TV in your closet?

no i dont.

i did watch one when i was young.

painful for playing video games.

now the tvs are so huge they dominate the room.

You are right, I don't remember the black and white TV having any extra plugs, I think only for an antenna.

yes, you had to attach the video game via the antenna,then switch to channel 3. now it's all computers

Yes, it all built in, the black and white TV people couldn't tell what color was anything.

Some people place color plastic over their screen.

that is going back a long way!Anyway, great chat!

There are over 750 episodes of pokemon, It was nice chatting with you also.

thanks!
good night!

Good night to you also.


Do you watch any television shows?

i dont really watch tv these days.
you?

I don't either, mostly sports.

I did watch a lot of south park back in the day, did you ever watch that?

yes, i liked south park.
it has been a great show.
it seems to stay relevant.

Yea, they made fun of family guy once, and the simpsons creators sent them flowers for it.

yeah, i bet the simpsons liked that.

the simpsons has had trouble maintaining its quality over the last few years.

i think that comedy is quite difficult.

Yea I stopped watching years ago.

Apparently one episode in the whole series did not have bart in it or mention him.

I want to watch that episode

i wonder what the episode was about.
that is odd.
the simpsons has great voice talent.

yea they do.
I wonder why also.
Did you ever watch pokemon?

no, i never did.
its a kids show, right?

Yea, I used to love watching it.

It was has 750 episodes, i don't think i watched them all though.

It was so good.

really?

ok. i know that it is tied to toys and video games, so i wondered if it was good for adults too

yep, and pokemon cards that are worth some money.

How about that 70s show, ever seen that?

no, i didnt but i think it was a very popular show.

probably a lot of actors launched big careers there.

You're right, mostly all of them became something big after that.

I wish the same was for that 70s show uk remake, they only lasted 10 episodes.

shows dont always travel well to other cultures, and i guess a verbatim remake is flat.

the casting wouldnt work either.

no they don't.

One show did and that was the office.

So amazing.

ANother was thomas the train, ever see that one?

the office was very different in the uk i think.

americans would want a different show.

i never saw thomas, its for kids, yes?

They are both on netflix so I have seen both.

Thomas the train was voiced over by many famous actors

ok. yes thomas probably would attract a lot of talent.

it has a classy look, if i remember right.

For sure, they have to be good.

It was so nice chatting with you, take care!


Good evening!

I hope you are well!

How do you think the US would be if the runner up in the presidential race became the Vice President like it was prior to 1805?

hello,  I dont think that would work for our current situation lol Those 2 do not get a long lol

It would be crazy that is for sure!

Maybe our next election can feature a sing-off.

If the President of Indonesia can release three pop music albums, it might just work!

lol

I think that would be quite entertaining!

Thats pretty good,  making albums and running a country,  multi tasking!

It would be the icing on the cake if we could have a President Banana like Zimbabwe did!

lol why?

Just because it would be funny and add levity to what is always so serious.

Trump may seem silly, but  some equate him to a boxer that means business.

I see.

Did you know the presidents guest house is bigger than the white house?

lol

So it pays a little more to be the guest than the actual resident!

LOL

lol right!

Maybe the president of zimbabwe can do a concert there!

Indonesia, but the Zimbabwe president may be just as talented LOL!

I wouldn't mind having some presidential money, but it's surprising to know that the wealthiest were JFK, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.

Oh sorry indonesia lol That info may possibly be wrong,  last time I checked Trump was the wealthiest by a lot!

I was wondering unless it was adjusted for age, etc.

At any rate, I'm not making anything like that!

I'm the kind that needs to have access to free websites and radio stations, though that can come in handy.

Did you know you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas online without spending anything?

Nice!

Do you like classic radio dramas?

I dont think I would use that service,  I really like audio books.

I gues soliders used to make radios out of pencil and razor!

wow!

That's amazing.

I wonder how they figured that out.

I wonder if they were Canadian if they had to somehow listen to 40% Canadian content like the current law states.

probably not,  they were soliders in wwi

I was just joking because I think the law is sort of absurd.

Listen/play what you want.

If that means you try to only pickup radio storms from Jupiter, then so be it.

Oh lol I guess I missed the joke and read it wrong lol Yeah that canadian law is kinda weird,  but they have a lot of good music,  drake,  celine dion, bryan adams lol ...justin bieber

That is a fair point.
Do you watch much television?

Sort of.

I watch a lot of tv shows and movies,  but I usually stream them,  I dont watch real time tv

There are so many options.

Take Pokemon; if you are into that, you can binge like 750 episodes worth!

That is crazy..

Oh my,  that is a lot of episodes!
Great for kids!
I have never watched any pokemon.
Its been great chatting with you!


Hello, do you listen to the radio?

Not really.
Do you?

Yeah I do quite a bit I just have not managed to find that Jupiter station

Ha, kind of freaky that you can hear Jupiter's storms on the AM radio!

I know that is quite something.
DO you ever listen to Canadian radios?

I don't really.

I heard that 40 percent of Canadian radio music needs to be Canadian in origin.

Yeah I guess they like to support their talent.

Do you know how soldiers used to make foxhole radios?

They used a razorblade and a pencil.
I still don't understand how though!

Yeah that is quite something.
DO you speak any latin?

I do not!

I wonder how many people do.

Maybe enough so that a Finnish radio station broadcasts a weekly program!

Yeah I was wandering about that as well.

How about radio dramas, do you like those?

I don't like dramas in general so probably not.

I see, because if you did there is a free radio to listen to them to

Interesting.
I prefer to watch tv.
How about you?

Yes me too, I watch shows mainly like the Simpsons

Do you like Bart?

There is only one episode where he doesn't appear and is not mentioned.

Wonder where he went!

I love Bart and that is really strange.

How about Pokemon, do you ever watch it?

I used to when I was younger.
I can't believe there are 750 episodes.

Yeah but they have been around for 16 years

Yeah but it's interesting that there is so much interest that they could make 750 episodes.

I found the episodes quite similar to one another.

I guess I wasn't a die hard enough fan.

Yeah I guess.

How about that 70s show, did you ever watch it?

Yes, I did.

It's so funny that they tried to remake it verbatim in the UK.


Hey.

Do you think the Weekly Standard will fail?

Well based on the information I've read it doesn't look good.

Do you think it was directly caused by their Anti Trump stance?

I do.

Trump may be unpopular but he is still the Commander and Chief.

it was stated that "On a more personal level, with Trump at the head of the party, denouncing him meant jeopardizing decades of investment in a career as a conservative pundit, politician or policy wonk.

I'm not expert, but that sounds like a bad business decision to me

Do you watch a lot of tv programs?

Yes.

I like the show south park.

I have heard the simpsons crew sent them flowers after their family guy episode.

LOL

Yeah the Simpsons made way for a lot of other animated adult shows.

Did you know "In the first 400 episodes, homer Simpson has held 188 jobs".

I honestly did not know that.
Do you ever use the radio?

Only when i'm driving but even thats not very often.

This presidency has given SNL so much to work with, reminds me of the Palin, Biden debates.

Those were hilarious.

Yea I liked those too.
Were you ever a fan of pokemon?
It had over 750 episodes!

No i was never a fan but i know of its popularity.

I forget what its called but someone got hurt looking for Pokemon

Really.

It was probably that Pokemon "Go" game where you had to hunt Pokemon on your cell phone.

I never played it.

Me either.

Did you know that the only U.S president to have a Phd is Woodrow Wilson

No I did not.

Yet he still wasn't one of the top 3 wealthiest presidents.

That honor goes to JFK, Washington and Jefferson.

Check this out, Lincoln was the first president to be photographed for his inauguration and John Wilkes Booth was in that photo.

That is CRAZY.
So awful that Booth assassinated him.
A Coward and a traitor!

You asked me about radio earlier, do you listen?

Sometimes.

I have heard in Canada that laws require radio stations to play at least 40% Canadian music.

What an odd law.

I remember my grandmother telling about a radio show called the shadow.

it later became a movie with Alec Baldwin.

Never heard of that movie.
Was it popular?

Yeah for its time.

i think it came out in the 80's.

hey did you know that one of the most popular radio acts of the 1930s was a ventriloquist, a fact which baffled contemporary critics.

That's cool!


Good evening.
So Hillary is at it again?

Whats she doing this time.

Promoting her book it looks like.
It's called What Happened.

Haven't heard of it to be honest.

I've heard of it but haven't read it.

Its just a good thing its not like it used to be where the runner up in the election became vice president.

Then she would be our vice president.

I couldn't see her and the Donald working together.

It would be interesting to see though.

It would be that.

Trump is quite interesting himself with all his tweets and raging about something or another.

And his kids get in there too.

So much drama in the White House.

Yeah I could see adding hilary to the mix.

That would be must see tv.

OMG, it says the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana.

They must have as much drama going on over there as we do.

Well the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office.

That's funny.

I don't think our president is able to do anything outside work because he's had to turn over Trump enterprises to his kids while in office.

So I guess we won't be hearing any music from him.

I could see Trump releasing an album.

It would be a whole album dissing Hilary and the dems.

Sometimes I get aggravated with that.

If I was attacked for everything I do.

Every person I tried to put on higpositions got attacked.

I think I would be the same way.

He knows how to fix the problems we have but the dems try to shut him down at every path.

I would be frustrated to.h

Yeah, I do get that.

But he goes back and forth.

The lawyer, for example, was his best friend.

he talked about him so highly and then the lawyer got in trouble and now he is dissing him.

I just don't get it.

But enough Trump talk.

Did you see that in one episode of the Simpsons Bart does not appear, nor is mentioned?

I always watched for homer to be honest.

Lol.

Dope.

Duh.
LOL.
But Bart is always into some mischief.
He could def be one of my boys.

Yeah I liked bart to, but homer was funny.

Yeah, I liked the babysitter episode.
Homer definely wanted that candy.

Lol.
He sure did.
Have a good one


Intresting that they paired TV, and Radio with President.

I agree.

I find it really funny how South Park made the Family Guy episode, they actually got flowers from the people who made the Simpsons

Well, artists often do things saying they respect each others work.

Very true.

Speaking of the Simpsons, did you know there's only 1 episode ever where Bart isn't in it?

I saw that.
I wonder what that episode was about?

I couldn't tell you the exact one.

I could tell you that there are over 750 episodes of one of my favorite shows "Pokemon"

I've never seen it.
I kind of think of Pokemon as a game.

It's a show and a game.

It's been running for over 16 years now!

What channel is tat on?

That's a good question.
I'm not sure.
I think it plays on various channels.

Maybe it's on Netflix like Voltron.

I know the movies are!
Do you like listening to the radio?

No, I've done streaming like Spotify for years.

I find some trivia on radio interesting though.

Jupiter has strong radio storms that can be picked up from AM radio!

That was cool.

I'm surprised that a simple AM radio can do that.

I was too!

But hey, it's even weirder that Canadian laws require 40% of the music to be Canadian.

I find that hilarious

I saw that.

I imagine that makes for some weird playlists for djs

Oh yeah for sure.

There's a Finnish radio station that has a news programme entirely in Latin.

That's strange too, but at least it's only one radio show.

I think it's pretty cool!

Then again, I go to a website that has a lot of classic radio drama for free

Like thos old radio serials from before tv was popular?

Do you know much about presidents?


Hello, do you like television?

I do.

I love watching SNL - especially the weekend update.

I love SNL.

Did you know when South Park aired the Family Guy episode, they received flowers from the Simpsons crew?

Yeah, I heard that.
It was because of the parody, right.

I think so lol.

There is only one episode of the Simpsons where Bart is not in.

I know, that is kind of crazy.
I guess i never noticed that.
He is just always around.

Yep me either.

I saw the 70's show was made in the UK and was cancelled after only 10 shows.

Wow, I guess they didnt love it like people did here.

Did you realize that in the first 400 episodes of the SImpsons Homer had 188 jobs.

I thought he always worked at the plant.

Oh wow that's a lot of jobs.
I had no idea.

Me neither, that kind of shocked me.

Do you remember the Treehouse of Horror xxi from the Simpsons?

I do not remember that.
Was it a good episode?

It had Daniel Radcliffe voicing Edward Cullen.

Oh wow that's awesome.
Do you like the radio?

I do, listen more to podcasts.
But I love jamming out to the radio

Me too.

Did you know you can hear Jupiter radio storms on Earth?

That is cool, Ill have to check that out.

You can also listen to the sun's music, too.

That's pretty cool too.

Soldiers in WWII made simple radios by using razorblades and pencils.

I couldnt even figure that one out now.
That was pretty genius of them.

Very cool and probably helped out with morale too

I bet, entertainment was likely very important.

Plus a great way to keep up with info.

it was great chatting with you.


Do you think  what Nick Saban did to the ESPN reporter was ok?

I was wondering the same thing.

I think personally that it was definitely wrong to snap even if you have a legitimate reason to be so tense.

Exactly.

you can have some sympathy, without telling them what they are asking you, but reposters can be intense.

Yes definitely but it's just general wisdom to try to maintain patience and meet frustrating situations with a level head of course.

But then again, he did apologize so it's not like he's some bad guy at all.

Do you think Saban will call the reporter and apologize?

Actually I heard that he already did, or at least someone tweeted as much.

Didn't know.
To be honest I am surprised he did.

Oh really, why is that?

I'm sure he realized that people would probably be able to empathize with his frustration with the reporters, so why not apologize.

He is definitely not the kind of people who apologize and if he did, I am pretty sure he was being pressure by the media.

Oh, hmm maybe that tweet by James Miller was incorrect I guess.

What makes you think he's not the type to apologize?

I am pretty good at telling how people are by the way their behave.

And this is not the first time he responds like that.

Oh I didn't know that, when did he do it before?

Almost most of the time he is being interview.

That´s why the reporter said: We got it weeks ago, with the exasperated sighs and snarky responses that come whenever you face reporters' questions¨

Oh yes, that's true but at least that's not as explosive as he behaved with Maria Taylor recently.

Really?!
What did he did to her?
Haven't heard about it.

He snapped at her, and gave an abrasive response to a fair question.

Wow!!
That´s way too much.
Don´t you think he should be suspended?

I'm not sure, he did apologize at least but I am not so familiar with the context of how they usually punish off the field behavior like that.

I guess some sort of penalty would be fair, but maybe not a whole suspension?

You are kind of right, but definitely something underneath is going on with him.

I guess, maybe I don't think it's the big of deal to be upset as long as you acknowledge that it was wrong.

A bit of anger can be healthy.

And I have to admit that the reporter was pushing him a little bit.

Yeah exactly.
