I think it has a fan segment yeah, its been around since 1989 so some people must like it


Yeah, you're right. There's also a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas, free of charge. Not my thing but probably means something to some people.


There is? that site sounds great, I wonder if theres also a site with thousands of comedy shows


Yeah, they help me escape! I really liked Friends when I was younger. It's surprising to me that 3rd rock from the sun beat them for the Golden Globe back in 1997.


I didnt watch 3rd Rock from the Sun, was it any good? I guess it was Friends is a really funny show so beating them is not an easy task.


Yeah, I was never into 3rd Rock. It was okay but I just watched it because it was on.


I see, have you ever heard of the Python programming language?


Yes, I think I have! I heard the programming language was named to honor British Comedy group Monty Python. I just assumed it had something to do with a snake.


I also assumed it was because of python snake or a similar reason.


Haha, that's funny! Speaking of funny things, do you like Comedy Central? A lot of stuff on there isn't funny to me. They've cancelled over 100 shows since being created in 1989.


They did? that is really unfair I bet many fans of the shows were upset because of that, 100 shows is a lot of them.


Yeah, hopefully they were just unpopular ones.


Yeah maybe, one of them was Chappelle show I really liked that one its been great chatting with you today.


Oh, really? I will have to check that show out. Great chatting with you!


Did you know that Fox News corporation considered making a channel that only played The Simpsons?


No. I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know who owns Fox News?


I know 21 Century Fox and the Fox entertainment group do. It was created by Richard Nixon and by a republican media strategist.


That is very interesting. Do you happen to know the name of the republican media strategist by any chance?


I'm not sure maybe Rupert Murdoch or somebody with the last name of Fox? It's very popular though, it can be seen in 86 countries


That's okay.  Fox News is very popular indeed. I heard somewhere that it is watched more than CNN and MSNBC combined. That is impressive!!!


It's interesting that it appeals to so many people. Did you know that Fox threatened to sue The Simpsons if they didn't stop parodying Fox news? Seems like a weird situation since The Simpsons is on the Fox network


Yeah!!! That is weird because I thought that Fox usually promotes the republican point of view.


I'm guessing that's what The Simpsons were making fun of. I wonder why they didn't go through with the lawsuit


It's weird to think that Nixon had a hand in building Fox news though. I guess it makes sense if you think about it, but it just seems so long ago that he was president that I assume anything he was involved with wouldn't exist anymore


I believe that Nixon at that time wanted fair media coverage but he wasn't getting it at the time he was president.


That makes a lot of sense actually. Meanwhile in Zimbabwe they called their first president "president banana"


Ha Ha!! I wonder why they called them this. Do you happen to know by any chance?


No idea! I wonder if it was a pet name or a mean one! Do you think it was because he liked eating bananas?


That actually could be true. I read somewhere recently that the president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while he was in office.


He must not have had much work to do if he had the time to record even one pop album, right?


I agree!!! Do you happen to know who the top three wealthiest presidents were in American history?


I do! I think they were JFK, Washington and Jefferson. I wonder how Trump fits in there now


Did you know that in the 1800's if you were runner up in a presidential election you got to be vice president! That must have caused all kinds of problems


Yes I agree. It would have created all kinds of problems.


There probably weren't any political parties back then, so it might not have been as big of a deal as if it happened today


Correct. That I agree back then things were very different than what they are today.


I still can't imagine an automatic vice president would want to just follow instead of lead immediately though


Yeah!!! I agree with you on this. It was very nice chatting with you today. I hope you have a great day. Thanks


I do a lot actually. Did you know women can play too?


Yeah pretty sweet, if they make the cut they play and there is no stopping them


Yup. Did you know there are only 11 minutes of game play in a game?


And yet er are glued to the tv for hours to an end, go figure


Yup exactly. They are using tracking chips on the players now in the field


Yes and they can track stuff like rotation and velocity and others. WOnder why though


I hope they can somehow use them to reduce the concussions that the players suffer from


Yeah that is a good point. Did you hear about that rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?


Yeah that is so wrong at every level, Why can't they eat in the same place?


I have no idea and the worst part is that they have to leave mid meal too if they walk in


So sexist and rude, it really has no place in the NFL and should go by now


I do from time to time. I like to do most of my online shopping on Amazon


Yes me too. Did you know Jeff built a clock in a mountain somewhere


Yeah and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years but not sure of its purpose though


Yeah me neither. Either way they are nice that they deliver on Sundays too


Yeah that is true and their workers walk up to 15 miles a day


Yeah it explains how busy they are and how they got to the top of the game now


Yeah since 1998, they are just everywhere


Yea, out of the 30 NBA teams the Knicks are my favorite


Cool. I'm a Raptors fan. Canada's only team.


The Raptors are doing good, maybe they'll bring the championship to Canada


I feel like this is their year. They always have problems in the playoffs but this years team is their best. Did you know NBA players are the worlds best paid athletes?


Yea nba players get paid good but its a shame 60% of them go broke 2 years after retirement


That is crazy. You'd think the NBAPA would hire people to help manage it's players money since they clearly can't do it on their own. In addition to their salaries basketball players seem to get more endorsements then other athletes. Allen Iverson's reebok contract pays him until he is 55!


That's pretty insane. Spencer Haywood declined a 10% in Nike for 100,000 dollars for his shoe deal


Imagine how much he'd have now? Although players like him and Jordan are the exception. The regular plays probably get modest sponsorship and once they are no longer playing don't know what to do with their money, then it's gone for good.


Well if Haywood took the 10% he have 8.62 billion worth in Nike


WOW! That is a shame. You said you are a Knicks fan, have you ever been to the NBA head office in NY?


No but maybe I'll check it out on Fifth Avenue next time I'm in NYC


I'm just wondering if it's worth going to. Probably is. The NBA TV studios is not too far away too but I think it's on the jersey side.


I'd really like to go check out a football game, out of the 32 teams I love watching the Giants


You know I've never been to an NFL game either, it's not quite as exciting as basketball with only an average of 11 minutes of actual gameplay in a game that lasts hours.


Especially if you're a Browns fan, since 1999 Ben Rothlesburger has the most wins as a qb in their stadium


The NFL has a lot of weird rules too. Apparently if saints cheerleaders are eating in a restaurant and a player comes in they have to leave since they aren't allowed to eat in the same place.


That's a shame, how would they even know, it's not like they put tracking chips in the cheerleaders like they do in the players' equipment


Who knows. You always hear about NFL players being fined for random things too. I think I'll stick with mostly watching NBA games.


Yea, the NFL has changed a lot since they started in 1932


Wow I didn't know the NFL was that old. I always thought it was the newest major sports league, but the NBA only started in 1946.


Well it was nice talking with you, have a good one


Yes. I like cars. Cars is a motor vehicle used for transportation in roads and carry people safely.


Yes, that is right. The 1908 Ford Model T was one of the first cars available to the masses.


Yes. Modern car is invented by Karl Benz in 18th century, In 20th century only, cars are available for human uses.


In the 20th Century developed economies relied on cars after they came into global use.


Yeah. The cars are propelled by internal combustion engine which have fossil fuel to run, which causes lot of pollution to the environment, some countries are using Ethanol as fuel to avoid pollution.


That is a good idea. Did you know the old cars used to have a wooden trunk on the back and that is how the car trunk got its name?


Now days, Electric are also available for human uses but it very costly, some countries only using this type of cars to avoid pollution.


I think I would use it for the same reason. Did you know the drive-thru at McDonalds was only added in 1975?


It very interesting. It is legal in south-africa to equip your car with flame throwers to prevent carjacking.


I think I would be happy to do that if car jacking was a real issue.


Surely, The largest people having cars in US compared to other countries.


Oh, interesting. I also like to travel. I've even heard that there is a bus being designed by the Dutch to go 160 mph.


Which type of travelling you like very much ?


I really like any. I would like to go Mackinac Island even though they don't allow motorized vehicles.


The first king to travel around the world was king Kalakaua of Hawaii.


That is pretty impressive. I wish I could do that. I would not want travel to Japan, it is expensive since all the highways are tolls.


Travelling in car for the long distance is very nice. Toll cost is very high.


Yes, I agree, it is. It can be $300 or more to travel across the country of Japan.


The president is a common title for the head of the government or nation.


Yes, it is. The first President of Zimbabwe was called President Banana.


The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop album in his office, this shows he is very much interested in Music also. It is very great.


I agree it sounds fun. It was nice chatting with you.


I really don't get into it.  I respect the sport.  I do know that the U.S. got 3rd place in the st FIFA World Cup in 1930.


It was all downhill from there I guess, for the men that is.  The US Women have never placed below 3rd since the first cup in 1991.


I think American Football and baseball had a lot to do with that.  Hungary did pretty good in the 50's with only one defeat between 1950 and 1956.


That is pretty great.  The cup has been going for a long time, only pausing for WW2


Yep.  Do you watch much TV?  There are plenty of choices if you're into Pokemon.  There are 750+ episodes.


That is a lot of episodes.  The TV pokemon craze missed me, I was a bit too old for it when it came out first on TV.


Yeah, only kids were into that in my case too.  I wonder why the 70's Show didn't make it in the UK?  It only lasted 10 episodes.


I think it was the fact they tried to remake it verbatim, some of the humor probably didnt translate totally.


Makes sense... Maybe the Simpsons works there?  There is only one Simpsons episode where Bart isn't mentioned or appears?  It's OK with me because I like Homer the best.


Ahh  Homer.  I heard he had 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes.


He seems to be a hard workin' man... Do you watch the NFL?  According to the stats, there is actually only 11 minutes of actual playtime in an average NFL game.  It takes 3+ hours for that?


I know, and that isnt even a consecutive 11 minutes.  Maybe females in the league would change that up.


I played in HS, it seemed longer than that.  Yeah, maybe, the NFL has no written rule for women to play.  Why not?


Maybe it is how the Saints' treat their cheerleaders?  Or getting crushed by a 300 pound linebacker.  Both sound like good deterrents to me.


Yeah.  I think it would start with kicking.  As for the Saints, I wonder if they really keep that rule to remain separate?


It just sounds a bit ridiculous, these are grown adults we are talking about here.


Yeah, I can't even see a HS doing that.  I guess they are putting tracking chips in shoulder pads.  Do they use them to track the team and cheerleaders too?


That would be great, I see the makings of a reality show.  Quick!  We should sell the idea, then we could become rich!


Let's do it!  There may be more money being an engineer.  In an average lifetime of earnings, they make more that an average NFL or MLB player.


Plus the wear on your body is usually a little less rough.


Yeah, but all the math!  It would be better money than hosting the Olympics or World Cup.


Usually they dont even turn a profit, sad.


I guess the surrounding business may do pretty good.  Surely they get paid for their expenses.


Individual business probably profit, but the country as a whole not so much.  I mean who has use for several massive stadiums and extra housing?


I was in ATL during the Olympics and the Olympic village was Georgia Tech, my alma mater.  They made out pretty well on new dorms and stuff like the swimming pool.


That would be pretty cool, and a good use.  Or they could start to solve the homeless problem.


On the contrary, they wiped out the bad north side from the campus and put in Georgia State dorms.  Homeless habitat was removed.


Ahh.  It has been a wonderful chat, but I must go.  Have a great night!


There seems to be a lot of chatter about Trump being hostile to black female journalists huh?


I don't really know a lot about it.  what exactly has happened


He has been attacking all journalists that report nothing but negative things about him. But now the news is trying to make a racial thing.


I don't know anything abouot this exact incident but sometimes the media likes to over dramatize things


Ronald Reagan used to use the term "welfare queen" referring to poor black mothers. They are trying to compare it trumps hatred of main stream media.


I know he does get mad at the media but they are always attacking him so that is probably the reason.  It would be hard for anyone to have people talking negatively towards you oftn


I agree, At his rallies, he regularly calls Maxine Waters a member of the Congressional Black Caucus "low-IQ." That is not  a racial statement I believe.


yes, I sometimes wonder what is actually true and what they are just picking on


His attacks are often delivered personally as he talks over his opponent. Sometimes you have to get aggressive if everyone is attacking you know?


I agree.  He is just someone who says exactly what he thinks.  People don't like that


You have to give respect to get respect, I think thats all he is asking for.


exactly but everyone just gets mad all the time.  He was never given an actual chance to accomplish anything.  He is a great business man and I think he could do some great things based off of that if evryone will just calm down a bit


I agree, I do feel it has got to the point now where Democrats are doing anything they can to shut his attempts down even if it means negatively effects the country.


definetely,  I hope our country can at some point work together but that is probaby not going to happen


Did you know the three wealthiest presidents were JFK, Washington and Jefferson?


I didnt know that.  what about woodrow wilson..he was the only us president to have a phd


I do not believe he is even in the top 10, a PHD doesn't automatically mean wealthy


right thats true.  The last us president to speak a foreign language fluentlly was FDR


That is very interesting, you would think that would be part of the job to at least speak a couple languages. Great chatting with you I must run.


A fan of baseball? If you're Japanese there's a good chance you're a huge fan.


How come there's an association with Japanese liking baseball? I prefer other sports like football and basketball. Though even from being in Texas, I have never heard of the high school stadium that costs $60 million to build and can seat 18K people!


Baseball is HUGE in Japan. Some Japanese don't realize it's history here in the US. That's Texas for you. They love their Football like the Japanese love baseball.


I would've thought video gaming or something super innovative was the most popular. Do they have different rules in Japan because if the opposing team catches a baseball in a hat, they are allowed to advanced three bases and yes, it is true, everything's bigger in texas, even football stadiums!


I think some of the rules are different although I couldn't tell you what specifically. I've always been curious to check out Australian Rules football.


Why Australian rules specifically anything interesting that they might do differently in their games?


Think it's got a little rugby in it and they play on a round field. That's all I know. American football has come a long way since the '60s. Back then the top bowler made more money than the top football player.


That does sound kind of different! I don't even think bowling competitions are aired on ESPN anymore. High school and public school coaches make a lot more than other state employees! Maybe they should try coaching then!


It's not a bad gig I guess. You know ESPN won an emmy fo the "yellow line" they supreimpose on the screen for the first down marker.


That was invented by ESPN and they can win awards for that?! Do you know how much the gigantic American flags that fly up high at stadiums cost?


Costs at least $50K to make and they weigh 1100 pounds! Are females allowed to play in the MLB?


I don't think there's any prohibition. I do know that the managers technically can play for the team. That's why they wear uniforms.


Have the managers ever had to actually 'step up to the plate' before? There was a female pitcher who was banned from MLB after she struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig


Probably in the early days I would imagine. That's funny about that pitcher. I can't imagine Babe Ruth was too happy about that.


But I wonder if they "let her" as bad as it sounds because she was a female and also seventeen years old, much like letting children get a taste of winning. Wouldn't you?


No idea. Could be. I hear there's some money in baseball cards though. SOme guy found 3 million dollars worth of cards in his grandfather's attic. Lucky!


Wow, it's a good thing he knew the value of those cards when he saw them. I probably would've donated them or tossed them! Would you know their value if you came across an old stash like that?


If they were old enough I would probably check just to be sure.


I'd probably do that as well too. I don't think I'm aware of any luxury phone makers. Are you? they even hire the London orchestra to record exclusive ringtones, sounds a bit 'excessive'.


I had never heard that before. It does sound excessive. We seem to have come a long way since the rotary phone and simple telecommunication device.


and yet still there is no correlation between cell phone bars and connection quality, I find that a bit difficult to believe.


Do you have any thoughts on the manner in which Trump puts down those who do not agree with him?


What I can tell also, meaning grow up!  He seems to use it alot in this article. I wonder if president Banana feels the same way?lol


Well, you can tell he is not from the ruling class, i.e. the political dynasty of Bush's and others.  That I like about him.  But I agree, he needs to show more decorum.  He sure likes to call those who do not agree with him or he views a failure "baby" a lot!


He doesn't change baby diapers either. I heard he has a germ thing too. With all the flu going around these days, I am grabbing those cleaning sheets in the grocery stores for your cart!


The flu can be a big deal, especially for older persons; after all, he is 72.   But the germ phobia can be taken to extremes as well.  I read that the 3 wealthiest presidents were Kennedy, Washington, and Jefferson.  I am of the belief that stat may no longer be true since Trump is a billionaire.  Any thoughts?


Yes, I was thinking the same thing, He would be on that list too. Those you listed owned alot of land.


What are your thoughts of Trump and the media.  It really is a strained relationship or even a mutual hatred.  You just cannot turn off the TV without the media bashing Trump or Trump bashing the media for "fake news".


I watch very little TV news. I try and do my own research. My feeling is most News networks are paid off and controlled to an extent! Its good to stay informed but try and look both sides.


I agree.  But it did seem like the mainstream media had already declared Hillary Clinton the winner long before the voters entered the polling places.  Did you know that until 1805, the runner up was the VP.  Could you imagine a President Trump with a Vice President Clinton?


No, I can't, that is a total joke! lol, So glad we changed that long ago!


I agree.  That would be much more dysfunctional than it currently is.  You mentioned that you do not watch much TV news.  Do you have any favorite TV series?


I have cable but rarely use it  I'm on the internet most of the time and can look up anything I'm interested in. When I do go on, it would be the history channel or something educational. That is if I have the time.


I rarely watch as well.  But I do remember the kids were big into Thomas the Tank Engine on PBS.  The show was narrated by many famous actors; Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin each narrated more than 50 time.  Somehow I cannot visualize Carlin or Baldwin narrating a children's show given their very salty language!


Yes, I do like PBS, I remember that show, I agree with you on Baldwin and Carlin. That is surprising. I can see Ringo Starr though.


Thinking back when network TV was better, I use to like "3rd Rock from the Sun".  Nowadays, the sun is a big deal, in terms of "green" or "clean" energy.  Do you think the sun, aka solar energy, will become a predominate energy source on the electrical grid?


Yes, I do and think its a great idea! The sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500,000 years. Isn't that unreal!


Good point.  I too think solar could have a major role.  But, we really need to advance our ability and knowledge in large scale energy storage.  As it currently stands, if you are on solar alone, then you are without power come nightfall.  Did you know that since 1846 when Neptune was discovered, it has only completed its 1st full orbit on July 11, 2011?


Yes, I heard that too. That planet is so far out there!  Are you interested in space?  We just had a  rocket go up in Florida currently.   I love it and find it so interesting!


I am very interested in space and space travel.  Living out in the country, we have very little light pollution, so you can really see the night sky.  While I wish the NASA space travel programs were not curtailed, I am impressed by the private sector picking up the slack.  Apparently SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule test is going well, so we might be back into manned flight soon!


Yes, they were talking about that this week. I bet you can see those stars. While living in the Virgin Island for a few years the sky and stars at night are unbelievable You feel like you can reach out and touch them. The night sky is flooded with stars


What is also amazing is the power of lightning.  We had a thunderstorm last week and the lightning zapped a neighbor's (100+ year old) live oak.  That's a lot of firewood for me.  Did you know a lightning bolt is about 5 times hotter than the sun?


Yes, It made me think of when people get struck! very scary! Aww a 100 year old live oak. That's too bad. Good for you though. Have a great day! Good chat!!


Football is actually a family of team sports when you consider it world wide.


Sure.  Do you have a favorite football team?


I favor the US college game and have been an Oklahoma fan since I was 8 years old.  The University of Iowa painted the visitor's locker room pink for a mental advantage.


Thats pretty smart tactic,  to soften them up.  Unless they like pink lol


There have been actual studies that prove that weight lifters cannot lift as much in a room with pink walls.  Most of the world calls what we call soccer, football.


Interesting,  had no idea.  In the sixties,  top bowlers made more than football players,  kinda weird huh


It is, but you have to pay a lot of people in the NFL, not so in bowling.  However, the NFL has marketed its product and now makes bundles of money.  They deserve it.


What do you mean you have to pay a lot of people in the NFL?


there are 30 teams with 54 people on each roster and about a dozen coaches.  Pro bowlers probably had a total of 10 people earning at the top level in the 60's.


Have you seen the yellow line that ESPN invented that they superimpose on the field to show the line to gain for a first down?


Yes I have.  I read that they won a emmy for the creation of that line.  awesome.


It makes a difference in how I enjoy the game.  Back to soccer, the World Cup for soccer is played only once every 4 years kind of like the Olympics.


Right.  I hear the next one will be held in Qatar,  and the city in which it is held doesnt exist yet.


True.  However, Qatar is a wealthy country so they will get it done.  The US women have done much better in World Cup that US men.


Yeah I think Ive heard that.  The american team hasnt place below 3rd since the womens world cup started in 91


That's right and 3 is the highest that US men have placed.


Well, it is the biggest sport in many countries.  American football, baseball and basketball are all bigger here.  The world has not done much against the US in basketball.


I read that soccer generates more money than hockey,  football, golf,  basketball, tennis and baseball all together!


I am sure it does.  The most valuable sports franchise in the entire world is Manchester United, a soccer team in the UK. Nice Chatting.


Do you listen to the radio? I used to but now not so much.


When i kid i listened to baseball games and music.  These days i never do.  Speaking of radios, did you that Jupiter has radio storms so strong they can be picked up by AM radio?


I wonder what they sound like. Jupiter Storms. Sounds like the name of a chick band or something.


Lol.  I would go see the Jupiter Storms in concert.  I would if it sounds like crackles or just weird static.


I guess it would then. May be better than most of the noise I hear on the radio now a days.


True.  I would how good Canadian music is.  By law 40% of the music on radio in Canada has to be Canadian


I think that the fix is in. The canadian govt must make money off that somehow. They are stealing or taxing or something.


It is surprising, perhaps they figure no one wants to listen to Canadian music so they require radio stations to play it, weird.


That is some sort of fascist communism if you ask me. Canada sounds like a hard place to live. Well for radio at least.


Do you like classic radio dramas?  I listened to some old Dragnet radio programs that I downloaded off a website for free.


That sounds dusty and old. Could you understand the langauge though? English was different then I bet. The radio English is different from the television English.


It sounded kinda of tinny and the sounds effects were really loud and the music was really dramatic.  I enjoyed them.


That would make sense. No pictures means its got to be EXTRA dramatic on the ears. Lots of spooky music and such.


Can you believe soldiers in World War II made radios using razor blades and pencil.  That is real Macguyver like.


I guess when bullets are whizzing past you, you get real creative real fast. I figure they would use anything they could. Dental fillings, anything.


I wonder if the President of Indonesia, who has released 3 pop albums while in office is on the radio there.


I think he has the right idea. Get into office, use the office to sell albums, get that music career going, retire and become a big name producer.


Yeah, probably makes more money from the music than politics anyway.


Trump could then end up the richest if he can get that second term in and win a grammy.


You almost made me spit out my drink, too funny.  I wouldn't rule out anything for Trump now.  I thought he no chance to become president.


I think he is clever. He is friends with Kanye so they could hook up on an album. Anyhow, good chat.


Hello! Have you ever been to the white house?


I recently have visited. Did you know the white house has a twin building in ireland and france?


I think I read that somewhere. Did you get to see the solar panels?


I did not look for them. I think George Bush put those on.


Did you know the Woodrow Wilson is the only president to have a PHD?


I find that hard to believe. I would think most presidents would have had higher education.


me too! And the last president to speak a foreign language was FDR


I bet it will be a requirement to speak spanish eventually.


Probably so. in Guatemala if you are president, your close family members cannot run.


I honestly dont know! Do you watch the simpsons?


Did you know that in the first 400 episodes, Homer had 188 different jobs!


I would like to see his resume after all of that,


I know! And shark tank deals hardly ever go thru!


Did you know bart doesn't appear in only one episode?


all of shakespeares plays have been adapted in to film except one!


Hello.  I've been research politics of late. Did you know that the office of president has different powers in different countries?


I did not know that, that's really interesting.


I think so too.  I guess I always assumed when I saw a president from another country on tv that they were like ours but that may not be the case at all.


Did you know that Woodrow Wilson is the only US President to have a PHD? I thought our presidents would be more scholarly.


No I didn't know that. I agree with you though.  I thought they would be too. It would seem to me that to get to lead the country you would have to be knowledgeable.


The last president to speak a foreign language fluently was FDR. I wonder what language he spoke?


That to me is very surprising. If they don't have phds I would at least think they could speak more than one language, at least a little.  I think it was probably spanish but I don't really know.


That sounds right. Did you know that Lincoln was the first president to be photographed for his inauguration. Can you guess who else was in that photo?


Oh I do know this and it is so bizarre!  It was John Wilkes Boothe, right?


Indeed it was! That is such a weird coincidence that he was in it.


It definitely is.  Say, did you know that Washington and Jefferson are two of the wealthiest presidents in our history?


I've heard that, and JFK is up there too isn't he?


Yes, but I've always been more surprised about Washington and Jefferson to be honest.  JFK was a Kennedy and they are super rich so it's really no surprise about him.


They were both probably wealthy land owners. Do you know who the first president to live in the White House?


That's interesting.  I do know that for some weird reason there are duplicate white houses in Ireland and France.


I've heard that. There's also a replica stateside in Atlanta which was built as a private home.


Do you know who built it?  I like that the real one is solar energy powered.  That's a good thing.


I'm not sure who built it. I'd like to see it though. Jimmy Carter actually had solar panels installed on the White House...and Ronald Reagan had them removed!


True but at least George W. Bush put them back on.


Yes I do! I wish the season was shorter though 17 week regular season drags on!


The games only have 11 minutes of game play too.


So surprising. Females are allowed to play too there is no written rule against it.


Yes, as long as they meet league eligibility, I would be fine with it!


Yeah I wouldn't mind watching it either. The New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL player. I wonder how that's enforced?


Me too.  I wonder if that is enforced if there was a female player as we mentioned?  And why would the cheerleaders have to leave if they are there first


Yes I am not sure sounds unfair. The NFL also uses tracking chips in the players shoulder pads to record a players every move!


Yes you are right! They track the speed, velocity, rotation, and location!


That is a lot of infomation to decipher since there are 32 teams in the NFL.


Yes I agree. I like the touchdown dance some players do. Not the most aesthetic but it works!


Bruce Lee was a great dancer.  won championship in 58


Oh yes that is interesting. Although I have never heard of the dance variation hong kong cha-cha!


Ballet Dancers go through 4 pairs in a week!


Unbelievable! Remind me never to buy pointe shoes because they are not durable!


Did you know Michael Jackson had a patent on a dancing device?


Oh yeah that one that allows him to do that extreme lean? I always wondered...


Yeah, Smooth Criminal Lean device is patented no wonder I dont see it in other videos.


Yes very good point. Babies also spontaneously dance when they hear music...very cute! Well it was great chatting with you partner.


Hey there do you ever watch the NFL on TV? I know that I watch the Super Bowl


I missed the Superbowl this year, but judging from the score didn't seem to be an outstandingly played game.  But still must be an improvement over the first playoffs in 1932.


Yep I would imagine it was a lot more exciting than that game haha. But yes you're right, the Super Bowl is a little bit boring, but then again the average NFL game only has about 10 minutes of actual gameplay


Crazy for a game that has a clock time of 1 hour and takes like 4 hours to play.  Lol


LOL you're right about that haha. Another crazy thing is the way the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are treated. I don't think it's right that they have to leave a restaurant if a player is already inside


Or even worse, I heard they have to leave if one enters a restaurant they are already in.  Who would agree to something like that.


I know right? I wonder if that's for all cheerleading teams or if that is specific to the Saints? Do you know anything more about that? I do know that technically females could play for the NFL, maybe one day all of the cheerleaders will be men and all of the players will be female haha


I know someone who cheered on the Bucs squad and she never said anything of that nature, so it might just be the saints.  If the roles were reversed, the game would likely be more efficient, I doubt women would  go for the long games, with little play.


Yeah I just don't know. I could see it happening though. But one thing that is for sure is that an engineer will earn more than either in NFL or MLB player over their lifetime which I think is kind of wild


It is, but when you break it down, the engineer can work a lot longer than the athletes, thus has more years of earning potential.  There is one rocket scientist coach in the NFL, his college fight song was crazy, including 6 digits of Pi.


thats pretty cool. did you hear about how the Huddle was invented?


Wasn't it due to a deaf quarterback not wanting the opposing team to be able to read his hand signals?


Yep you're 100% right. The quarterback's name was Paul D Hubbard. I always wondered how you could have a deaf quarterback, but he must have been pretty good because he invented such an iconic thing


So many things that were made for ease, ended up being very innovative, like the Yellow line.  ESPN even won an Emmy for that!


Yep that was an amazing invention! Do you like baseball by the way? I personally think it's really boring


It is one of the few sports I couldn't get into.  Id play for fun, in pick up games, but watching it is kind of dull.  Another sport with long game times and no action.


Yep I agree with you. One thing is that in Canada they don't call kickball kickball. They call it soccer-baseball. that sounds really stupid to me haha


It kinda sounds like a name you give something to somehow make it more legitimate.  There was once this 17 year old female pitcher that got banned from pro ball because she struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig back to back.  Id be signing her not banning her.


I know right! That's so impressive I wonder what happened to her. What other cool thing is that a baseball manager can actually play for the team if they're needed. That's why they were the uniform


Have any managers been called into action?


No I don't think so. But that would be a game I would want to see haha


I do. Though I should use less of it, it's gotten very political.


Yes I do like using it as a social media platform, but I don't use it for the news


Can you believe Myspace turned down an offer to buy it back in 2005?


It doesn't even exist anymore so it can't even regret it


Maybe if they had gotten it for the price of only $75 million, they'd still be a company. It's valued way more now.


I believe it was 104 billion back in 2012, so it's probably even more now with over 2 billion users worldwide.


I can see that consider how much power facebook now holds


Right? So much so that Iceland is re-writing their constitution on Facebook so that the public can make suggestions.


Indeed. Makes you wonder where they will go from here


Not far in parts of Germany, I guess, where the "like" button is illegal.


Well germany is unique. Like how they blocked uber


I didn't realize the reason Facebook is mostly blue is because Mark Zuckerberg has red-green colorblindness.


I also didn't know, but even without being colorblind, I think I favor the blue more


I agree, but I wonder how much we're influenced by Facebook? I think Myspace was also blue.


Who knows? Maybe it is a social experiment testing how subliminal messages affect the masses?


Kind of like the one Burger King is conducting; they say if you unfriend 10 people, you get a free whopper. That's a disturbing message.


Indeed, yet that wasn't as subtle. Anyway thanks for chatting.


Maybe it will work with the younger crowd since Facebook allows members as young as 13.


Perhaps? I can see it better influencing younger minds. Kind of is a scary thought though. Have a nice day.


Yea, it's pretty cool how sound is produce through electromagnetic energy waves through space


yes, it is a great invention. i think it has helped many people around the world get their news and maybe get educated.


Yea, in Finland they even have a new program in classical latin called Nuntii Latini


I guess they have dedicated fans because that has been around for decades.


Apparently, I heard dedicated fans of classic radio dramas can listen to them online for free


there are some great dramas out there. i think the history of entertainment tells a lot about the stories we see now on tv


What's pretty cool is you can pick up Jupiter's radio storms on am radio, I wonder what frequency you have to tune to


i dont know. i dont know what they would sound like so i couldnt recognize them. strange.


Not as strange as the President of Indonesia releasing 3 pop albums while in office lol


I guess he had a yearning to be heard. He needed his voice to be acknowledged. Plus he wanted the cash.


Maybe but JFK, Washington, and Jefferson were the 3 wealthiest presidents and they never released any albums


Yes, JFK has his father's rum money. And the two others owned heaps of land. JFK has the look of a star but not the singing voice. his mistress did though.


I wonder if the first president of zimbabwe was rich, maybe he sold bananas since they called him President Banana


Perhaps given that nickname for a reason


Perhaps. Did you know the runner up in the presidential election became vice president until 1805?


that was an odd system. maybe the vp had more power then? now its a ceremonial position for the most part. i would not want it.


Sounds like way too much stress, I'd imagine the vice president and president probably hated each other


Yes, they probably were not on the same page and little got accomplished. Now it is a pointless position. Little real authority. Anyway, nice chat!


You too. I'm gonna go look up more info about the man who sold the Eiffel Tower twice


That man was a genius salesman. Have a good night!


Hello, are you interested in the President, Radio, or Government?


I would say I am more interested in government.  Systems or groups of people organized in a community do something to me.


Ok, well government is a means by which organizational policies are enforced as well as a mechanism for determining policy. This affects all of us, really.


The statement of a governing principle and philosophy is much more than the smile on a dog.


Funny, did you know another funny thing? 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the US government.


Religion is the talk on a cereal box.  Another way to have an absolute state of authority is to have a tyranny.


Well said. Did you know that Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks? Now that's a Wikileak!


Its almost like a photo of a person holding a photo.  The guy in France that sold the Eiffel tower, he has some skill.


Yes, I heard about that. A man in France impersonated a government official and sold the Eiffel Tower not just once but twice.


You would think Mr. Eiffel would have something to say about a guy putting up for sale signs, having tours through the living room.


One would think. Did you know that in 2006, the US passed legislation to protect government employees from prosecution for violating the Geneva Conventions.


It is important when water boarding to have legislation on your side.  I like how the Norwegian Government donated $1 billion to save the amazon forest.  Our government would sell chimpanzees guns but thats about all.


Well our government is just as wild as the rest of the worlds. Afer all, the first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana.


Top Banana.  I hear there is prison time if you forget his first name.  Canada has a la that 40% of all music must be canadian.  good for them.  Country and western needs a place to go.


I agree with that! Add to that, Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by AM radio.


I wonder if Jupiter sounds like whales?  Scottish bag pipes are very annoying.  How could you calculate the wealth of president Geroge Washington.


Maybe by reverse engineering inflation, I don't know. Yes, Washington, Jefferson, and JFK were the top three wealthiest presidents.


I bet Washington never filed a tax return.  Any calculation of his wealth in 1776 dollars would be speculation.


Believe me, they probably have a way to estimate it. Lucky for George, he lived in pre-Federal Reserve era. Did you know that soldiers in WWI made simple radios using razor blades and pencil as a diode?


A foxhole radio.  It sounds like a waste of time.  Maybe there was a lot of free time in fox holes.


Hi, what is your opinion about the government?


Hello,  I guess it depends on what aspect of the government you are referring to.  I read recently that Nevada is mostly owned by the government.


I think The United States government owns 47 percent of all land in the West. ... Utah and Nevada, the majority of land is owned by the federal government. Is it right?


That is interesting.  I did not know that.


The federal government owns more land in Nevada than any other state. Here's which counties in Nevada the government owns the most land.


I see.  I read some interesting facts about other governments too.  Someone impersonated a government official and sold the eiffel tower twice!


That is crazy lol how does someone even go about getting the official papers


looks like the norwegian government donated 1 billion dollars to save the amazon rainforest.  that was nice of them.


hmmm I mostly listen to music on the radio.  But I guess they have some morning discussions between them in the morning that I like too.  What kind of music do you listen to?  I learned that in Canada they have to play 40% canadian music.


What kind of music do you listen to?  I hear there is station that you can hear old classic dramas for free.  If you like that sort of thing.  I guess it is kinda like an audio book lol


The Goon Show was a British radio comedy program.


Okay, thank you very much for chat with me.


Hello, are you interested in politics at all?


Hi, Yes. I listen to a lot of political radio shows.


The radio is definitely censored to some extent though. For example, in Canada at least 40% of music played has to be Canadian.


I wouldn't exactly call that censoring but it is strange, but I guess it's how bands like Sloan and Our Lady Peace became so popular in Canada yet only achieved modest success elsewhere.


I wonder how the culture was back when radios were more simple. In WWII soldiers made radios out of just a razorblade and pencil.


I don't think radio technology has improved that much as far as amplitude. AM/FM stations still have really short range. A modest car trip and the local stations are already out of range.


At the same time, we can pick up radio storms from Jupiter, they are strong enough.


Oh right I have heard of people who do that. I think maybe it's because the transmitters only send the radio waves short wave, where as the radio storms on jupiter are naturally occurring and everything there is massive.


That makes sense. All I know is I don't think radio is enticing enough to pay money for. I go to a website that has thousands of free radio dramas.


I agree, free radio is fine. Pay radio just isn't significantly better. I was listening to one show where they were saying the Norwegian government donated a billion dollars to save the rainforests in the amazon. I wish other countries would take that approach.


That's interesting, a lot of radio stations have their own agenda which is nice. A finnish radio station broadcasts a weely program entirely in classical latin.


I doubt they get many listeners, who can understand classical latin? There certainly is some weird stuff on the radio. I heard this one pop song and it turned out it was by the president of Indonesia!


Presidents are certainly hard to take seriously when they do things like that. Then again, hard to be taken less seriously than President Banana, the first president of Zimbabwe.


I'm sure he had ways of dealing with people who laughed at his name. The Indonesian president / pop star released 3 albums while in office so it wasn't even a one time thing.


That's interesting. I think a lot of changes have been made in general with presidents. In the US, the vice president used to just be the runner up.


Imagine if they still did that now. Trump would love it.


Oh I'm sure he would. Speaking of Trump, it's amazing he isn't even one of the three wealthiest presidents in history.


Really? I never would have guessed that. I know George Washington was really rich, so was JFK.


Maybe they refer to the three wealthiest based off of inflation, it would have to be like that.


Probably. I can't imagine 3 having more actual dollars than Trump. Apparently he wants to create his own "news" network since he hates CNN so much. If he did that he'd probably drop further on the list.


I'm sure he is, I heard it's in his plans to destroy Wikileaks too, which was ironically outed by Wikileaks. Anyways, it was nice chatting with you, have a good night!


Evidently, the French President is really into it as an activist. I heard that it did not go so well with him because his environment minister resigned.


I do not know anything about the French. Why did his environment minister resign over that?


He said he didn't feel like the government was answering the problems properly. He felt like they were too lax.


Hm. I will have to read more about that then!


Speaking of the government, have you ever heard about the story about the guy who impersonated a govt official and sold the Eiffel Tower not once, but twice!?


Nope! I have not heard about that Eiffel Tower guy. I guess the French have a lot of problems.


Sounds like it. Who do you think the 3 wealthiest presidents were?


You got one right. They were JFK, Washington and jefferson.


I should have known JFK. That just seems right now that you say it. I knew it his wife came from money. I wonder how they all came to be wealthy.


Not sure but the US President's guest house is larger than the White House. I wonder if it is on Air BNB. LOL.


That would be nice! I wonder who is in the massive guest house now.


Me too! Probably not the President of Indonesia. I hear he has been busy working on his pop albums. He has released 3 while in office. Who has the time?


I guess the President of Indonesia has the time LOL I want to know why the President of Zimbabwe was called president banana...


What? I wouldn't care for that if I were him! I heard this the other day that the runner up in the 1805 election automatically became the VP.


I see that did not work out so well or something since they stopped letting the runner-up be vice president LOL


True! The government is a funny thing. They own 86% of the land in Nevada. I wonder if they own Vegas.


Maybe they do since that is where all of the money seems to be made there. 85% is a ton of land.


Did you know that Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks? I guess that didn't work out so well.


Wow, didn't know that. Talk about spoiler alert. I heard a guy in France illegally sold the Eiffel Tower not just once, but twice.


I wonder who was dumb enough to buy it? It would have been funnier if it was the same person both times.


Yes, absolutely! Ha! Not only that but how come nobody in the French government noticed the impersonator?  Maybe he was some sort of look-alike. Not to change countries, but did you hear that 86% of Nevada is owned by the U.S. Government? That's sounds a little scary.  What do they have stored there?


I heard about that. I know there's a few military bases there, and area 51 is there I believe too. So there's probably a lot of missle test sites out in the desert there. So that might equate into some of that percentage.


No doubt in my mind! Still, it sounds like a secret they don't want us to find out. That's just another example of the balance between the idea of government authority and the principle of our individual freedom.


That is true. They're always seem to be up to shady stuff, just like in 2006 they passed legislation that would protect Government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva Conventions.


Yes, that does sound shady to me as well. Geneva conventions are international law. Well, I guess we need government jobs to stay safe.


I guess so, why can't our government do good like the Norwegian government? In 2008 they donated $1bn to help save the Amazon rain forest!


I know, right? How cool was that? The Amazon rain forest is very important to our whole ecology system of the earth we live on. You're right, why aren't we more like the Norwegians? Good Question.


Our government waste money on things like making the president's guest house bigger than the White House!


Yes, that's all sorts of crazy, they should be spending money on things that make a difference like renovating the rain forest to make our planet more stable. Each government has it's own kind of constitution and philosophy and governing principles but ours is in need of an adjustment.


I agree, maybe we should have a president that releases pop albums like Indonesia's president has. He's released 3 while in office. Could you imagine if one of our past few presidents released an album?


Hey, that would be awesome if Trump would release a Mexican salsa dancing album where he dances and sings. That would go viral in an instant on YouTube. That would be a blast. The radio stations would pick it up and carry the sound through space and when the radio waves hit an electrical conductor,  it would be transformed back to the original. How cool would that be?  I'd watch it.


That would be pretty epic. Did you know that up until 1805 in the U.S. that the runner up in the presidential election automatically became the Vice President? Could you imagine that happening today? I think it would force both parties to work together more.


Yes, I agree that's probably why they changed it!  By the way, did you know that there's a website that has free radio dramas from the old days? Isn't that fascinating?


I would like to listen to that. It would help broaden the imagination listening to dramas instead of watching them. I could listen to it on the foxhole radio I made using a razor blade and pencil. My grandpa showed me how they made them in WWII.


Wow, that is cool, for real. I'd like to learn how to make a foxhole radio, myself.  I also heard that a Finnish radio station broadcasts "Nuntii Latini" weekly news since 1989. I guess you'd have to know Latin to understand it though.


I was fascinated as a kid when he showed me how to make it. I would be lost listening to that radio station! Did you know that in Canada that radio stations are required by law to have at least 40% of their music played be Canadian?


But at least there's some decent Canadian artist. Well I have to get going, it was nice chatting with you. Have a great day!


hey can you guess who the top 3 wealthiest presidents are?


Hm. I'd guess JFK, Washington and Trump?


haha you would think trump would be there but nope its jfk, washington and jefferson so you were close!


Nice bit of presidential trivia! Here's one for you: What was the name of the first president of Zimbabwe? Hint...think fruit...


haha I can only guess President Banana? Maybe he has a VP named VP Plantain haha


Nice one! You are good at this! I'll try harder to stump you. The President of Indonesia relased 3 Pop albums while in office. What were the names of his children?


haha thats one I don't know, but I do know that if trump made 3 albums with his friend kanye that would be insane!


I'd buy it!  Heck, I'd produce it if I could. Then maybe the Pres would invite me to visit at his presidential guest house.


haha ya isn't the guest house bigger than the white house itself? I'd rather stay there if its bigger than haha


I that that was where the vice president lived. You know, if the election rules that were in place back before 1805 were still valid, our current VP would be Hillary Clinton.  Wouldn't that be a hoot...


haah ya that would be so much drama! I would watch that tv show but I'm glad thats not our world haha


That would make a great radio drama too!  You know there is a website where you can listen to old radio dramas for free?


no I didn't know that, have you listened to any of those? Are they any good


Not bad, but I have an old radio, which makes the audio quality poor. My radio was made by my grandfather during WWII used radio blade and pencil. He called it his foxhole radio. It gets US stations only. No Canadian ones...


that is crazy do you know how that works exactly? I also watn to tune into AM radio and listen to Jupiters radio storms haha


Sounds out of this world!  I'll bet it is a lot better than that Finnish radio station that plays news in Latin!


that is crazy, but it sounds pretty boring I'd rather listen to Jupiter's storms on AM haha


I bet is sounds like the Moody Blues!  Id like to go there someday. If it is anything like Necada, 86 percent is already owned by the goverment.


ya that is a lot of land, btw do you know who the top 3 richest presidents were?


If I would answer that, then the IRS would come looking for me!  I read that on Wikileaks, right after teh story where they claim they have the government's plan for how they plan to destroy Wikileaks.


haha good point, that is scary, and yes the top 3 are washington, jefferson, and jfk somehow


Thanks you too, watch out for the IRS and President Banana of Zimbabwe!


Hi, did you know that 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the Government?  If they were treated like US citizens, they would be forced to sell it to pay for their massive debts.


Yes, the government does own 86% of Nevada.  Not only that, but did you hear that in 2006, the US passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva Convention?


Why even have the Geneva convention?  Wow, some con man in France sold the Eiffel Tower twice!


Yes, but on the better side, in 2008 the Norwegian government donated $1B to help save the Amazon Rainforest. There's still some good left in the world.


That's cool of them.  That is a lot of money for Norway.  Meanwhile, the president of Indonesia released 4 pop albums.


I think it was 3 pop albums but I could be wrong. I did hear that Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks.


Yeah, 3... Did you know that soldiers made radios out of razor blades and pencils in WW I?


Yes, I heard about that.  Did you know that Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an AM radio?


Yeah, Jupiter has some great stations.  Canada's government requires 40% of their music to be Canadian.


I know, right? Since 1989, a Finnish radio station has broadcast "Nuntii Latinii" - a weekly news program conducted entirely in Classical Latin.


So do you follow Prince Harry and Ms. Markle? I don't get why people get so crazy about a royal couple.


No, I don't. Prince Harry and Ms. Markle are all over the news and are celebrities in the UK because they are royalty.


I guess they visited Wales.  May dodged a question about inviting Trump to the wedding.


Yes, so says the British tabloids, who also reported that Prince Harry recently sidestepped an inquiry whether the Obamas could expect an invitation in their mailbox, given the prince's friendship with Barack Obama.


I didn't realize Markle's mom is black and her father is white. I couldn't care less.  They are going to raise their child gender neutral.


I guess the big question is, will the Obamas be headed to Windsor in May?


If they do, I don't want to see or hear about it.  I just hope they are wasting more taxpayer money on the pleasure trips.  I guess Harry and Meghan were presented with "Celtic Love Spoons"?


Yes, their ceremony at St. George's Chapel in Windsor which seats 800 will be filled no doubt.


I'd rather visit a local pub and read up on the latest Wikileaks.


Ha, yes Wikileaks. Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks so they might be gone til then.


The Gov't could use a good government.  Thanks for the chat!


I am good but very frustrated at Jeff Sessions defending the child separation at the border.


I know this has gotten way out of hand. Apparently the concession is if you don't want to be separated from them then don't bring them.


That is a horrible idea.  These people come here to try to save their children from abuse and death. The Washington Post told Sessions that separating infants and toddlers from their mothers is wrong.


I agree this situation is untenable. Apparently the US lost track of 1,475 immigrant children in 2018.


It is so traumatic for the children.  There are 11,000 unaccompanied children and it is taking 45 days to place them


Yes it is a sad state of affairs, something amicable needs to be done.


The ACLU is fighting it - they say its the worst thing they have seen in 25 plus years.


Well i guess we will have to wait and see. Did you know that the guest house is bigger than the actual white house?


Yes but probably smaller than Margo Largo!  Even though Trump is not one of the 3 wealthiest presidents.


Right! it was Jefferson, JFK & Washington. Can you imagine Hillary and Trump together in the white house?


That would be pretty funny.  Or Trump and the first president of Zimbabwe  - President Banana


TOO FUNNY!! I don't think i could let anyone call me banana. How about the president of Indonesia having 3 pop albums?


That is pretty crazy!   Imagine listening to Trump sing on the radio?  Radios were one of the first methods of long range messaging.


Oh no! Apparently Jupiter storms are so strong that they can be picked up by Am radio.


Wow that is crazy!    I did not know you could make simple radios using a razorblade and a pencil - soldiers in WWII did such things!


Those guys are super heroes for real. Did you know that Canada has a law that 40% of its music be Canadian. .


That's pretty funny.  I prefer Canadian music over the news in Latin like they play in Finland.


I hear you. Did you know that our government owns 86% of Nevada.


Wow. That is pretty crazy.  I had never heard that.  Some governments definitely are in favor of preservation - Norway gave 1 billion to help save the amazon rainforests,


That should have been enough to save it then. nice talking with you.


Hi, I am a huge football fan. We love the Packers. How about you?


Hello, I watch some football, im not a huge fan.  I like the niners.  Did you know that in the 60's top bowlers made almost twice as much as football players?


Noway! I never heard that but totally believe it! I am a huge college football fan too, we love OU.


Oklahoma University is the college team we follow. We watched Baker Mayfield play all the way through school. It was a lot of fun watching him get better every season. I am more of a bowler in terms of ability.


Oh nice!  have you ever visited the university of iowa's opposing team locker room?


No, we have never traveled that far before?


Ha, that is hilarious. It must be to get into their heads before the games start! I love it. Ya know the highest game ever scored was 222-0. Crazy,huh


Yeah, that would be a nightmare. I don't think they would allow that today for the sportsmanship of the game.


Did you know theres only one left handed quarterback?


I never knew that, wow. I had noticed that dance is similar to football in terms of being choreographed. Dancers like Bruce Lee used it in their film and enter competitions too.


Yeah I cant believe he won a cha cha competition.


I know it what a weird fun fact about him.lol I learned recently that Michael Jackson had a patent on shoes for his dancing.


Oh thats cool, Im sure Michael Jackson has a lot of patents on his moves and clothing lol Did you see that series that came out Leaving Neverland?


No, I really want to see that though, just out of curiosity. Another singer that was also a dancer was Tupac. He was in the ballet Nutcracker n high school.


It was devastating,  I cant get it out of my mind.  yeah I did hear that, that is pretty awesome!


Ha, yeah people and their path to fame is crazy. The OU QB Baker Mayfield was going to become  a professional gamer and not pursue football at one point. That is scary! Thanks for the fun chat I really enjoyed it.


I guess the family has been a sporting family, and not just in Football


Do you like football? Can you believe The university of iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely painted pink. LOL


I bet they do that for mental intimidation, wow, I never knew that. I am not a big sports person. I guess many people love football. How about you?


Yes I like it but its not my favorite. Have you ever been to a football game?


LOL, I have never been to one. Have only gone to a baseball game.


You should try to go to one someday. Canaada only has 1 professional team


I will try some time. Can you believe that in the 1960's bowlers were paid 2x as much as football players. A lot has changed since then. They make a lot of money now.


Wow yes thats amazing. Dis you also knowBaseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises. I never knew that.


I never knew that either. I can not recall seeing a manager ever play before but it may have happened. There is a lot I do not know about sports and sports trivia. Do you have any baseball card? That man found 3million dollars of old cards, wow!!!


LOL I am not sure if its happened or not. I wish i could run into something worth a lot of money. I hope for that.


Yes I do too. I find old things at times but they are never worth any thing at all. Wish my grandfather had saved his baseball cards. So is American and Canadian football the same?


No  not really. I am learning though. Do you like soccer?


Nothing about Soccer in the articles. Do not know anything about it. Did you know that Baseball was popular in Japan?


Thats interesting. Sorry my mistake. What else do u know?


I see that many people think the quarterbacks are the the leader of the offensive team. I guess they do a lot in a game.


Yea each member definately The quarterback also touches the ball on almost every offensive play, and is the offensive player that almost always throws forward passes. So


Did you know who Kyler Murray was before reading the article? I never heard of him. I am so out of touch with some things.


Nope lol and I still am not sure, I did not read that part either. It has been good talking to you.


I enjoyed taking to you and learning some sport trivia and facts.


Did you know that John F. Kennedy was the wealthiest president?


Yeah along with Jefferson and Washington, well taking into account inflation


I wonder where the current president would rank on wealthlies list.


I am not sure about that actually. DId you know the president of Indonesia is a pop star?


No, i did not.  I guess our country is not the only one who has a president with a unique background.


Yeah that is true. This guys has already release 3 albums


I am a big football fan but i did not realize the average NFL games has only 11 minutes of live action.


Yeah and yet we are glued to the tv for so long. Did you know women can play too?


Wow!  are there any special restriction for woman playing in the NFL?


Not that I know if, as long as you make the cut I guess you can play


Do you think it is stupid that Saints cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a Saint player comes in?


I find that so strange and sexist, they need to get rid of that rule


I agree.  Here's a strange fact: kicking is legal in volleyball.


Yeah I used to play in high school and we were allowed to do that.Do you know where it was invented?


That makes sense as they both can be played on the same court.  I believe the women's net in volleyball is a little lower than the men's.


Yeah. Fedex once returned a volleyball that had washed up after the tsunami in Japan


Interesting, I wonder where that ball washed up exactly, Hawaii, perhaps?


Maybe, I really have no idea. Did you know engineers make more in the lifetime than football players?


That didn't see right until i realized some football players aren't paid a ransom and engineers have a much longer career than football players


Yes I think that is what helps them earn more. Nice chatting with you :)


Yes, I love the old radio classics.How about you?


I do too, interesting fact but theres a weekly news program in latin, its been on for 30 years  so it must have a lot of fans


Oh, wow thats cool. I really like this website that plays the old classics for absolutely free. I like to that in between listening to the Canadian channel. Have you heard of it?


I havent heard of the Canadian channel, only Canadian music and news there?


Yeah, its funny because in Canada they created a law that says 40% of the time Canadian music must be played. I listen to it sometimes for fun. Its amusing.


I guess thats a great law, promotes local talent and all, there is station that picks up Jupiter radio storms, its an AM frequency


Noway, Jupiter storms, cool deal. I watch a lot of tv too. I like South Park and the Family Guy. Do you watch any shows like the Simpsons?


Yeah it must be really cool, and I do like The Simpsons, the show just makes me laugh every time,


Me too. There's only one show that Bart is not on nor does he speak on it. The Simpsons crew also sent flowers to the Family Guy crew for thier finale episode. That's nice to see celebrities getting along. lol


It is nice, both shows are really great, did you ever watch Pokemon?


Well its a kids show about catching anymals with pokeballs, these animals are called Pokemons and then the show has duels between Pokemons and they also evolve, its actually cool


Oh, okay that sounds super cool. I like that alot! I usually watch the show Thomas the Train with my kids.lol


That show had great narrators, Alec Balwin, Ringo Starr, both have great voices


Yeah, right! That is one reason I really like that show even though its a kids cartoon. I like when famous people add voices to a show because it makes it sound more professional.


Yeah I guess little kids dont care about narrators, did you watch that 70's show?


I have seen it a couple of times. I am a huge fan of the actors on the show but dont know much about the plot or the story line, really.


I see well it was a great show I think it premiered back in the year 2003, well the show was so successful the UK tried to make a remake but it was terrible


Noway, wow. That is funny and I like the story. I need to call someone about work. The area code is New York and the reason it is 212 is because it was the fastest to dial so they made it 212. lol


That sounds like a practical area code, it seemed random before the explanation but it all makes sense now.


It is so funny to know that  first president of zimbabwe was called president banana


That's hilarious. Much better than the U.S President's name.


What do you think about a president who is a singer as well? Examples the president of Indonesia has released three pop albums.


I think it's a cool fact to know. But I would much rather have my president be experienced in Law or a hard science like Engineering,


Sure. I have never heard the word telly for televesion. Have you?


I have. I think people in the UK use that slang


Ahh ok. What do you think days like these was cancelled after 10 episodes?


I don't know I've never seen it. Why do you think?


It was not that bad. Maybe something happened .


Personally, I prefer watching something like pokemon, with over 750 episodes.


Yeah. Pokemon has been for long time. About 16 years non stop.


It's one of my favorite shows, certainly.


For me it is so amazing how the world works. Still don't understand how can the moon slows the earth rotation?


I did not know that was a fact, actually. Im surprised that more than 80 of the earths forests have been destroyed.


We are doing that. Creating our own destruction. Don't know how a day had 5.5 hours and now 24


maybe something to do with a change in calenders? or the earth rotation?


Still too many hours of difference. Do you agree with the fact that earth will be virtually helium-free by the end of the 21 century?


Hahaha. It is incredible how most of the earth is covered with water and we still don't have enough water.


I think it is because it has so much salt in it, it can be hard to filter.


But it is still enough to have enough lakes, rivers and other sources of water for everything, but we are not taking care of it.


Hi there!  Do you know many presidential facts?


I know a few, Woodrow Wilson is the only president to have a PHD.


Wow!  We have more actors and reality stars than drs. Isn't that a crazy stat?


It really is, more presidents and lawmakers should be educated, can't really go wrong with that. You ever watch the NFL too?


I do watch the NFL!  Did you know that there is rule that prevents a female from playing?


I never would have guessed that, I'm sure that wouldn't hold up in a court of law. Matt Patricia is a rocket scientist? That is truly nuts.


lol I actually meant to say "there is no rule"...whoops! lol  There is only an average of 11 minutes of live gameplay per NFL game.  Kind of short....


Ah I gotcha, yah it would be hard to be a female in the NFL for sure. Do you have a favorite team out of the 32 in the NFL?


Nice, I think they should be pretty good in the future years, Kareem Hunt is a good addition. You know much about Kim Jong-Un?


I know that he has started to edit pictures to depict a different history just as previous communist leaders Mao and Stalin did.


See a lot of parallels between him and Trump huh? I can't believe Trump is friends with that guy, what a truly messed up timeline.


I agree.  I will say though that since I've been alive he's been the first president to break through to where they would even talk with the US.  Never thought I would ever see that.  Now outside of that...Trump isn't my favorite person either.  lol


Yah, pretty scary stuff, even with the Otto stuff, Trump does not listen to the CIA, NSA, or FBI. I mean, what in the world? It was good to see the 2018 summit in Singapore, just terrible outcomes.


Yes.  They say that Kim Jong un learned to drive at 3.  Maybe a toy car he was driving?  lol


He's got a ton of hole in ones too. I think they lied a little bit about him haha. His older brother was spotted at an Eric Clapton concert, that's pretty funny.


lol  I find it funny he was voted most sexiest man alive by the onion and China believes it!


Ha, that is not bad for a little fat dictator that was born in 1983.


LOL  They say that we don't actually know how old he is!  It's been fun chatting!


It's been fun chatting with you too, I hope you have a good rest of the night!


I prefer to listen to music online. speaking of which, there is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.


That is cool. Do you ever listen to them?


I haven't yet. speaking of classical things, a finnish radio station broadcasts a weekly news program in classical latin.


Wow. I would not understand a word of it. Did you know you can listen to Jupiter's stors in am radio?


Interesting. that sounds like it would be annoying, haha. if you are in canada, all radio need to have at least 40 percent of the music played be canadian.


I guess they really like to support local and national talent


yeah, speaking of music from foreign countries, the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office


Wow, a star president. good for them. Do you know who the wealthiest presidents in the us were?


i have heard jfk, washington and jefferson so i guess that accounts for inflation.


yeah , to think trump is not in there, pretty surprising


I would feel rich if I were staying in the president's guest house. it's bigger than the white house!


Yeah they must get a lot of guests. Do you know what the president of zimbabwe was called?


Yeah me too, I wonder if it means something else in their language


Speaking of odd things relating to presidents, Ronald Reagan was rejected for a movie role once because he didn't have the "presidential look" according to an entertainment executive.


Wow, well at least he became a president in real life. good for him


Yeah, and I believe he was a successful actor too. Bill Nye got his break by winning a steve martin lookalike contest


Hahah that is so funny. Did you ever play nintendo?


Yes, I did. I had the original, which only could display 54 colors


Yeah that is so cool. nice chatting with you.


i am not too familiar with him. Do you like Brady?


I do, Kellan Moore is the only left handed QB


WOw cool. Brady was a back up QB in high school


I guess he started early. DO you know who Brad Johnson is?


I have heard of him. Yeah and they did not start him even when they were doing really bad


That is their loss though as he is a great player


Exactly. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Did not know that, has any ever played before?


I do not think so but there is no rule that prevents them from playing


Cool. Did you hear they are placing chips on the players now?


Yes they are collecting velocity and speed and a bunch of other stuff


Nice I wonder if they can use that data to make the game safer


Good point. Did you know Matt Patricia used to be a rocket scientist before becoming a coach?


That is such a career jump but good for him


Yeah.  Did you know the first play off game was played in 1932?


WOw that was a long time ago, that is amazing


Did you happen to watch the NFL Pro Bowl?


Hello there, I didn't watch this year's but I have in the past.  How about you?


I did not.  But I just found out that one of the highlights of the game was not with the NFL players but their offspring.  Specifically, Drew Brees sons.  Did you happen to hear / read anything about it?


I heard the cameras caught them playing around and the oldest son put a hard tackle on one of his other brothers right?


Seems like.  Supposedly it spilled onto the field and got caught on camera.  That and the stern talking to from dad, NFL Saints QB Drew Brees.  Its not too often normal life spills into professional sporting events or live TV!


I think that is really funny, I'm glad the cameras were able to catch that!


True.  Its refreshing from some of the player antics!  What do you think of the NFL having a female referee officiate playoff games.  Personally, I glad to see the break-thru.  Do you think we will ever see the same with a female NFL player?


I agree, and I think it would be really cool if a female player did make it, I think it would open the doors to females being able to play in all sorts of leagues.


I would hope that it would force my NO Saints to kill the arcane rule that prohibits their cheerleaders for eating in any restaurant when NFL players are their first.  That is so outdated!


I couldn't agree more, so outdated!  The fact that they are required to leave if a player walks in is so stupid.


True.  I would be pretty upset if I had to pay for a meal that I was unable to finish because I had to leave midway.  What are your thoughts of tech in NFL football.  They have tracking in players shoulder pads and in the balls as well?


I think the advancements in tech are good for the game, especially some of the safety aspects.


I like the tracking chips in the football that reports velocity, rotation, speed, and location.  I think that data could be useful for training / feedback of quarterbacks.  Did you know Kellan Moore is the only left-handed QB in the NFL.  Do you think being left-handed QB has any advantages?


I didn't know that, I figure there would be more than one at least.  And, I'm not sure, I wonder how many left handed QB's have ever won a super bowl?


I do not know.  I cannot see any advantage like in baseball where left-handed is advantageous for the first base player.  I just learned that the NFL had a deaf quarterback, Paul D. Hubbard.  He started the circular huddle to shield his hand signals.  Its always refreshing to here someone excel against the odds.


Yeah Hubbard was awesome, I think he was one of the most interesting players to have ever played.


Are you much into video games, like playing Nintendo football?


I do like video games, but don't play as much as I used to, I would play Tecmo Super Bowl on Nintendo growing up.  How about you?


I grew up in a rural area about 40 miles from a sizable city.  So our entertainment was more live action, such as riding, roping, hunting, and fishing.  And, chasing the chicken destine to be supper.  Did you know that when Caesar visited Britain, he found the Brits bred chickens for entertainment, not food?  What kind of entertainment?


That sounds like an awesome childhood. And that is really weird I would have no idea the entertainment value except maybe it would be funny to watch.


I hope that was for entertainment and not cock fighting which is thankfully illegal in the States.  What people do for entertainment can vary so much from live arts to recorded performances and from solo to group activities.  And how people get into entertainment can be strange.  Did you know Bill Nye "The Science Guy" got his break winning a Steve Martin look-a-like contest?


That is very true, and no I never heard that, but I'm sure glad he did!  It was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


Do you by chance follow Barbara Alston? Did you like her music?


I haven't ever heard any of her songs, but I know of her. What about you?


I know some of here songs, one of them is "Da Doo Ron Ron" and also had other hit songs. Too bad she died.


I know, it's very sad! I realize now that I have heard of one song, but I did not know that Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote it: "He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)". I'm surprised that they would write that song, I know a little bit about their story from the Carole King musical "Beautiful" and that was surprising.


Yeah she did, she also sang "Theres No Other Like My Baby" this song was in the charts back in 1962 I think it was on place #20.


She was very successful and it's sad that she died from flu complications. That family has experienced a lot of heartache recently, especially considering that their child Tony/Toni Alston was murdered in 2010, possibly for being transgender.


I heard about that he was shot in 2010 and the worst part is that his murder remains unsolved. So sad to see how hate got Tony killed.


Hate gets a lot of people killed these days unfortunately. That's why I like that we have television which can not only spread news but also spread humor and joy. I love "Weekend Update" on SNL, I think it's a very humorous way to talk about some news that might otherwise be pretty dark. And I love the Simpsons. Do you know anything about the Simpsons?


I love The Simpsons, I am a big fan, did you know there is an episode where Bart doesnt appear?!!


Wow, I did not know that, that's very surprising! I sometimes think about how often there are guest stars/cameos of celebrities. I especially found it funny when Daniel Radcliffe voiced Edward Cullen on the Simpsons' Twilight parody. Have you seen that episode?


I havent seen that episode, I might google it later, whats it about, can you give me a short preview please!


I don't want to spoil it for you, you should look it up later though! I wonder what would happen if they had made a Simpsons episode of the Crystals. That would be very dramatic and informative. Would you watch an episode like that?


I would sure watch it,who knows maybe there is one lol, I would like to watch Barbara Alston and the rest of the crew come to life again in The Simpsons.


Yes, me too! I think they could make a really interesting plot with the drama around the producer (Phil Spector) and how he was later convicted of murdering Lana Clarkson! Knowing The Simpsons, it would probably be a little distasteful but probably funny.


It would be funny! so what other shows do you like to watch? Maybe Pokemon?


I also enjoy watching The Office, Parks and Rec, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, and some other shows like that. I started watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and found that really funny but I just keep rewatching The Office because it's so addictive. What shows do you watch? Pokemon?


I used to love Pokemon but now theres about 750 so I lost track of it I also like South Park, seems like the producers have a good relation with the crew of The Simpsons.


I never really got into Pokemon. I enjoy South Park, but I am not a huge fan of it and don't watch it religiously. I also love Community, which is by the same producers as Rick and Morty.


I see, Community is a nice show, I like it. So what other hobbies do you have, maybe cars


I like listening to music a lot. That is why I am surprised that I hadn't heard much music from Barbara Alston and the Crystals. Were you surprised to find out that she initially won a talent show with the Delphi Thezonians? I wonder what that name even means!


Well you lost me there lol, her family sure misses her but she left an important legacy behind.


Did you hear about that police officer that got sentenced to 15 years in prison


Yea, what kind of abuse of power is this?


I know right, 15 years is a harsh penalty but she deserved it, she committed a murder and used power to cover it up


Do you generally trust cops? A regular person may have gotten more time.


I trust some of them but a lot of them are abusive just like officer Sherry Hall, her report was full of lies, makes me really angry, Its a good thing the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looked into the shooting


Yea... Did you know Cars came into global use in the 20th century?


Really in the 20th century? I though it was a lot longer than that, I wonder who made the first model


I think it was Henry Ford. I'm just glad they evolved to electric vehicles now. We have over 1.25 billion vehicles on earth.


Thats a lot of cars, did you hear about that pro driver that picked up his skills by playing Gran Turismo


This is so sick. I used to play that game all day as a kid. It was very difficult. Did you every play it?


I just to play it yeah, I wasnt good at it though, it was a great game, trunk of cars are called like that because of wooden trunks on the back


That's cool. What do you know about Radios?


I know the carry waves in the form of sound, info music, just about any sound really, I like radios, I think they are a great invention


Did you know that by canada law, their music has to be at least 40% canadian?


I think thats a great law, its a good way to promote local talent, Bieber and Drake are great canadian artists


Of course. It is just kind of weird. I did not know Bieber was canadian. Do you subscribe to radio or do you just listen to free radio?


No not really, do you know any free radio websites?


I might download it, you know that Jupiter has storms that are so strong AM radio picks them up!


That is insane just like soldiers and how they knew how to make radios back in WWII


I really like that McDonalds added drive thru's for soldiers!


That is cool. I do wonder if that was the very first drive-through.


Thats a good question! I used to work the drive thru at McDonald's. It was not my favorite job! I liked working at a radio station better!


Yeah, fast food definitely is a difficult job to do. Nice connection to the soldier comment too, the radio thing and what not. The soldiers building a radio out of a razor blade. MacGeyver stuff


Yeah, i dont think i could do that . When i worked at the radio i cant remember having to play any specific amount of US music. Funny.


Agreed. That Canadian law seemed a bit restrictive. I guess it is mostly there to ensure that their citizens are exposed to their own art.


Thats a good thought. I would rather have Canadian music than listen to an exclusive show in latin.


Ha! Yeah. I've traveled a lot and even have been to Finland, but never noticed that. Might not be a popular station.


yeah, i dont think it gets many listeners. Even hearing the storm from Jupiter would be better than latin!


Mhm. Though I have to admit that I probably wouldn't know what Jupiter sounds like. Definitely not like Latin or a radio drama. :P


Yeah, i dont know what id be in for either with Jupiter. Maybe id rather listen to Thomas the train engine and see if i could pick out the ones that ringo starr narrates.


I actually didn't know that he OR George Carlin narrated that. That's amusing considering George Carlin's general comedy. He probably would have seemed more at home on South Park when he was alive.


I agree, SP would have been more his style. That or maybe the simpsons!


Hm. Simpsons seems to have had sooooo many guest starts over the years. I wouldn't be shocked if Carlin was actually on it. I'm gonna look that one up later. Still a little shocked that after 20+ seasons they only had one non-Bart appearance.


Thats exactly what i was thinking. Hes such a huge part of the show. I wonder which one he wasn't in .


Probably took the day off or something. Speaking of taking the day off, apparently there are so many Pokemon eps that you might actually need to take a day off to marathon it.


Im not a huge fan but i could see there being sooo many episodes. Over 750 episodes right?


Ah, i dont even know how many their are! You gotta catch em all!


Yeah I think that both Simpsons, South Park, and Pokemon, and Thomas are definitely some of the longest running shows. Interesting connection there.


I liked it a lot in High school but tickets are so expensive now, so I just watch it on tv. I'm still wondering when a woman will start playing, since it isn't against the rules.


yeah me too i stop seeing NFL on TV  not trying to get tickets


I guess the most logical place for a women to start would be as a kicker. Since the average game has only 11 minutes of live play, the kicker must only play for about 2 minutes a game!


do you have favorite NFL  team where we can add a kicker


I like the Cowboys and the Falcons. I was surprised to see that engineers make more than football players over their life time. I guess because most only play for a few years before they get hurt.


Why do you think the Saints cheerleaders have to leave a restaurant if a player comes in? What's their reasoning?


to avoid any gossip s and controversy probably


But why doesn't the player have to leave if the cheerleader comes in? It isn't fair. It's discrimination, don't you think?


Totally unfair . But the NFL has business motives.


Did you study about James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, in school. I did and for some reason, I an still remember that name, even though I've never been a basketball fan. Funny that he was a the only losing coach at UK!


i think he lost the match as a coach in kansas ,he is the only one to lose i guess


He didn't lose a match, he was the only losing coach in their history. That means he never had a season where they won more than they lost. I guess you don't know much about basketball either.


yep poor me . but i know one thing there is a basket ball court on top of US supreme court building


Right! That is funny, 'the highest court in the land'. That's a good basketball joke. I wonder if the justices actually play up there in their robes, Ha Ha!


I guess its safe till there is no football court above supreme court. They have to handle quarterbacks .. much worse


I don't know why the New Zealand basketball team is named the Tall Blacks. Do you?


Not sure .. but they are associated with black uniforms in other sports too


I never thought about New Zelanders being tall. Oh well. Funny that Tom Brady was a backup quarter back that Never got into a game, in high school! Boy, I bet they wish they could change that.


what a history of 4 time superbowl champion


Do you follow football at all these days?


Hello there, I do like to follow football, my team didn't make the playoffs this year so that was sad.  How about you?


I'm very sorry to hear this. I'm a huge New England Patriots fan and we won the Super Bowl this year.


Nice!  Yeah you guys have been dominating for a while now it has been impressive.


I was very surprised too be honest there was a time where I didn't think we will make the playoffs because we kept loosing our away games.


Yeah and as long as you make it, you have a chance.  Speaking of football, did you know that Snoop Dogg once wrote a fight song for his own son's school team?


No I didn't know this but I was really impressed with Deshaun Watson this year. He beat the Dallas Cowboys in overtime back in October by racking up 415 yards. That's impressive!!!


That is really impressive.  He was just 23 years old as well, wow!


Yeah!! He kinda reminds me of Aaron Rodgers because he scrambles a lot with the intention of buying time to find the open receiver down field. Now that is a great quarterback.


Yeah he is a bit like him.  Aaron Rodgers has been the quarterback of my team since he came into the league actually.


You're a Packers fan. I love the Packers and I always rooting for them when they are not playing the Patriots.


Yeah well when we had old Brett at the helm his best moment was agains your Pats, so that's good memories.  I have to hold on to those because we have sucked the last two years lol.


I think your team will be great next season because healthy Rodgers is always a fantastic Rodgers in my opinion.


Thanks I sure hope so, speaking of QB's do you know who the only one to ever throw a td to himself was?


I think it was Alex Smith if I'm not mistaking.


Nope, but that was a good guess.  It was Brad Johnson, who won a superbowl himself.


Wow I didn't know this. I heard somewhere that the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as football stars.


I think I have heard that too funny!  I guess it just shows how big the NFL has gotten since then.


Yes. The NFL is huge these days and the fans are very passionate about their teams.


Yeah they sure are, even at the high school level.  Did you know that there is a high school stadium in Texas that seats 18,000?!


No. I didn't know this. Very interesting.


Yeah very interesting, I guess it cost $60 million to build, that sounds nuts to me.


Yeah that sure is for a high school stadium.  Well it's been good talking with you, hope you have a good night!


I do enjoy watching television. What about you?


I love my TV shows. I like south park, you ever watch that?


South Park always annoyed me. I have watched quite a bit of pokemon though.


For sure, when south park made fun of family guy, the simpsons sent them flowers. I like pokemon too


I have kids so I watch a lot of cartoons mostly on PBS like wild kratts and Thomas the tank.


nice they ever watch some of the 750 episodes of pokemon. I love thomas the tank also!


I like the ones narrated by Alec Baldwin the best. He just has one of those voices made for narration.


Nice, I liked those a lot. Mine was Ringo Starr ones, he has that thomas the tank type voice


That's true. Very gravelly and engine like. It is crazy how far tvs have come even in just a few short years though. I remember watching cartoons in black and white.


dang, I remember saturday morning cartoons. Did you ever watch that 70s show?


Yes! That show was hilarious. Too bad the sequels and spinoffs tanked so terribly.


right, I heard the one in UK only lasted 10 episodes, and that 80s show was a bust too!


I think the UK one probably wasn't as popular because it was a very american humor show not really the british dry wit.


For sure, there is two different kinds of comedy right there. It is just like the office in british vs american


I think the british office was on for ages longer than the american one. I never really got that one. Designated survivor is a good one though.


Never heard of that one, what is that about?


It is about a man who becomes president after the capitol is blown up.


I will have to check that out. Speaking of capitol hill, are you a trump fan?


I respect the office and what his intentions were but I'm not a fan of how he is going about it. What about you?


That is a great way to put it. I think if he released an album like the president of indonesia did he would be more popular, lol


I dont' think the US would handle it well if he did that. He is already controversial. That might push his advesaries over the edge.


The Navy's player Malcolm Perry is looking good! He cant stop moving those feet of his.


Right? He definitely seems ready for the new season to show what he's got


Yeah, I love watching the Navy football team and think their QB Perry is the best up and coming player because of his speed. Hecan zip around and beat guys that way.


I agree. Also think he's ready to show he can throw this year too. He's been working on his passes and has a good arm!


Yeah, I agree. He can throw bullets with great accuracy too. Perry has the Southern Methodist game haunting him and has something to prove now.


I don't blame him. He rushed 282 yards which was a record but his only pass was intercepted. Definitely impacted his confidence in what he could do and his abilities.


You make a really good point that I forgot to credit him. The offensive coordinator Ivan Jasper has been working with Perry on throwing and new reps.


They feel really confident about Perry's skills as a thrower. Though it's been a few years since Perry focused on passing, he was a quarterback in high school.


Yeah, I agree with you. Coach Jasper has also been working with Perry on rapid-fire passing drills and throwing one-on-one with him since spring practice. That is promising and super cool too.


I agree. I think Jasper is in a better more focused place to work with Perry too. He's been more focused and in a better place to be able to work with Perry since his son's heart transplant surgery.


I can't even imagine going through something so scary and serious with any of my kids. Perry has a good handle of his career and his personal life and knows how to focus on what's important and be in the moment. Alex Smith is another amazing QB.


Perry seems more mature and comfortable in the football world too. It seems like he understands things better and is in a position to answer questions and talk in football speak.


Yeah, he might be the next Alex Smith or Baker Mayfield? Who knows because both of those quarterbacks are very accomplished. Alex Smith went to college early. He took so many classes in high school that he went super early.


Really? That's impressive. I did not know that about Alex Smith. Random fact though, did you know there's only one left handed quarterback in the NFL?


Noway, I have never really thought about it but that is very rare. Yeah Alex Smith was actually getting his bachelors within the first two years of college. He is a very smart guy on and off the field.


Wow that's really cool. Sounds a lot like that senior Abey. Started 9 games last year for a 7-6 team.


Man, thats crazy,really? I went to Kansas and James Naismith was the inventor of the basketball, that's the closest I have been to a famous college story.


Well that's super cool! Another random fact which surprised me the other day, only 2 African American quarterbacks have won the Super Bowl.


Noway, that doesn't seem right but it is a fact for sure. The highest paid state employees are coaches now thats not surprising.


I did not know that about coaches though I guess it makes sense. I do know that the american flags at football stadiums weigh 1,100 pounds and cost $50,000 to make which seems like a lot of money.


That is really incredible. A lot of money flows through sports and keeps players engaged. Baker Mayfield almost became a professional gamer instead of QB. It was a good thing that he wised up for all our sakes. The money is in football.


Or in basketball movies like Space Jam. Which is the highest grossing basketball movie of all time.


Good flicks, I need to rewatch them this weekend. Have a good one!


I do not appreciate the Redskins  effort against the Giants . It got worse


Which teams do you expect to win the Superbowl?
