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 am, but after Dan Snyder purchased them they have sucked.


Haha, I have heard that from several different people.


Yeah, it is like everything he touches turns to garbage. It makes it hard to watch because each year they end up sucking halfway into the season.


On a side note, do you realize that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?


I'm not surprised, it seems like there is a lot of standing around on the sidelines.


That's a fact. Wonder why there hasn't been a female player, yet?  The NFL has no written rule against them.


I think it is likely due to the fact that most Americans are less comfortable watching women play a heavy contact sport.


Probably likely, but you'd think there would at least be a kicker.


Yeah, there were kickers when I was in high school on competing teams. That's a tough job, here today, gone tomorrow: Laces out!


I think it's cool the NFL uses tracking chips in the player's shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field. They can gather all kinds of stats like that.


Yeah, is it the NFL or the teams themselves? What would the NFL themselves use it for?


I think it's the NFL, probably most likely to track the players to see if they sustain concussions, most likely.  Since that is the hot button issue right now.  Force of the hit, how many hits sustained each game, etc.


Interesting, but they also have chips in the football as well.


Yes, that info is probably more valuable to the individual teams and to give the talking heads something to discuss while everybody is standing around on the sidelines. Lol


Yeah, I hear that there are only 11 minutes of live gameplay in the average game.


Like I said before, plenty of time to stand around.


Yeah, well apparently an engineer is, on average, likely to make more than the average NFL player over his career.


That's why you stay in school and get a degree for when that golden career is all gone.  Alex Smith was working on his Master's degree before becoming the first overall pick in the 2005 draft.


Yeah, i heard he took a bunch of AP classes when he was in high school. Well, nice chatting with you!


Yeah I do. Not so much the Mets but I think it's funny Tebow almost played on opening day for them.


I thought it was a bad move, I agree with Mike Francesa, but who knows maybe Tebow will show everyone


Yeah it could happen. I think it's good he is starting in the AAA then if he proves himself he could move up.


He won the heismen trophy right? so that must mean theres a lot of talent hidden inside


Yeah exactly. I also like the NFL and wish Tebow stayed in that league. Crazy that the first NFL game was played back in 1932.


Do you have a favority NFL team? AFC or NFC?


Yeah my team is the Seahawks. you? Russel Wilson is the man and he still is under an MLB contract!


Mine are the Patriots so AFC, and he ist? I wonder why, thats an odd fact


Yeah and he hasn't played a regular season game since 2011.


Thats a long time, maybe the team hasnt realiazed that yet lol or he has a really good contract


Yeah sure is nice to have options lol. Kellan moore is the only left handed QB in the league currently.


The only one in the league? I wonder if being a leftie is somehow a disadvantage to the game.


Yeah most of the plays must be centered around being right handed. Baseball is popular too with over 160,000 bats used in an entire season!


Baseball is another great sport I do like it, not only its popular in the US but it has a lot of fans in Japan


Yeah Ichiro was one of my favorite players and still is! The cubs was the first team to win back to back world series.


I heard they had a though time after that win, the team even got like cursed, do you collect baseball cards?


I believe it! Yeah I used too! you? Have you heard of that female pitcher who struck out babe ruth and lou gehrig? Not sure if I believe that...


Havent heard about her, if its true then that would change baseball histoy forever and yeah I collect cards, theres an interesting fact about them a really lucky man


A really lucky card? Have you ever heard of the rule of catching a ball with your hat makes the other team receive 3 bases?


Is that a rule? I have to Google it, I have never seen it I wonder if it ever happened.


i dont really follow college football. You?


I do, my favorite team is Virginia Teach, they have a good team


Ok, i did not know that. how did they do this year? did they win a bowl?


No I think it was the Clemson Tigers not really sure about that but it wasnt Virginia tech


oh, ok. well, maybe next year! what do you think of U of Iowa and their locker rooms?


I think they can be intimidating to some teams, its really funny how they painted the visitor teams locker all pink


i wonder if it works. do other teams do it? if it worked, everyone would do it.


I dont think so, I bet the Iowa University is the only one with that strange characteristic


yeah, i guess it is their trademark. it might have helped cumberland against georgia tech.


They did lose 222-0 what a humiliating loss, I would retire of football after a loss like that one


yeah, the GT coach seemed to be bent on proving something. i wonder what. they must have scored on every play.


Yeah and also the other team fumbled the ball a lot or many interceptions, it would be really hard to lose by 222 points lol


the GT coach should have put in the third string and maybe even the cheerleaders. or played a different sport entirely, like basketball.


I bet he wasnt paid much so he was just like screw this, bowlers used to make more than pro football players back in the day


bowlers were lucky because the sport was very popular back in the day. now they are not so popular.


Yeah I dont see bowlers making much money these days, there are many more popular sports now


yes, quite true. football has the violence. people love combat and gladiators. i figure that football is going to change because of injuries.


I hope it does, did you watch that movie about all the damage players end up with? really sad, rules must be changed.


i didnt see that film but i know that concussions are a serious problem, even in the kids game. it is scary how the brain get damaged.


It is, I have a son and he loves to play football I get really worried, its been really fun chatting with you by the way


You have a great day as well and take care if you play football keep in mind all the injuries caused by the game and all.


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.


Not really.  I use it occasionally, but I do not like their privacy issues and the role it plays in the whole fake news fiasco


I agree with you there.  I cant believe it's been around already for 15 years since it was founded in 2004.


I have had an account since it started.  I actually liked it when I used it from about 2004-2008.  I think its sad that 30 % of American adults use it as their primary source of news.


That is sad.  I don't even look at that garbage or all those useless memes.  It's a huge waste of time. I just use to stay in touch with close friends and family.


I used to use it to stay in touch with friends and family, but now I don't so much.


Aww.  Sorry about that.  If it makes you feel any better, I'm always the one reaching out to my family.  I rarely hear from them if I didn't initiate to reach out to them.  I wonder how Myspace feels now about turning down the chance to buy Facebook for $75 million in 2005?


I think its sad how Facebook can be used to manipulate people's feelings and opinions about political topics.


Yes.  Did you hear about the Facebook promotion that Burger King had?


If you unfriended 10 people on Facebook, Burger King would give you a free whopper!  I think I would have had to delete a few people. lol


Wow, that is ridiculous.  On a separate note, did you know that the only US president to have a Ph.D. was Woodrow Wilson and the last president to speak a foreign language fluently was Roosevelt?  Crazy, huh?


Who is your favorite US president in history?


That's tough question...Probably Reagan since I've been alive because it sure seems like things were better all around in the 80's.


Interesting.  To change subjects, did you know that it is against the law to warm up your car in Ohio when the weather is cold?


I didn't know that!  Interesting!  Have you heard about the flame thrower cars they have in South Africa to prevent carjackings?  I sure wouldn't want to live there.  I would be afraid they would fall into the wrong hands.


No I haven't.  Wow, that sounds crazy.  Did you know that that Google's self driving cars have an "aggressive" mode?  They must use it in city traffic.


Oh boy...those self driving cars scare me.  lol  It's been fun chatting with you tonight!


Yes me too.  They don't seem like a great idea.  I am not sure I would want to ride in one.


No way Jose.  lol  I have to get going.  Have a good night and thanks for the chat!


Yea I watch football all the time, it's a shame Alex Smith got injured but he can always fall back on something else considering he started his master's degree before being drafted


I bet that he has a lot of opportunities with his intelligence and motivation. I wonder what he will choose.


Yea Smith is incredibly smart, it only took him two years to get his bachelor's degree while he was playing college football


He did so many APs in high school. he is a focused individual. he is the ideal type for QB.


Tom Brady is also pretty smart but not his JV coach who never started him despite the team not winning a game


Yeah, the coach was probably playing favorites. TB was promising but needed his chance to show his talent.


Yea,the coach must be kicking himself for not seeing how good Tom Brady was after he won 4 super bowls


Yeah, I bet many coaches have done similar things because they had their favorites. Clutch players have to be put in clutch situations.


Yea, Paul D Hubbard was pretty clutch and invented the circular huddle


I couldnt imagine a deaf quarterback, but there are many deaf athletes so i shouldnt be surprised.


Oddly in the nfl there is only one left handed qb, Kellan Moore


Is that a problem for teams? A lefties a challenge for designing plays?


I don't know, I figure if it was then a good coach would be able to turn a left handed qb into an advantage


I guess so? i don't know how hard it is for defenses to adapt to a new QB. i also wonder how big the advantage of the lefty is.


Probably a little similar to south paws in boxing, if there is an advantage


I guess the rhythm could be different, the choices of the QB would be unexpected. Unlike that pink locker room at U of Iowa.


You know if I was a visiting player in Iowa's locker room I would probably find the pink to be calming and relaxing lol


I guess. i wonder how many other teams have tried that technique. if it worked, everyone would do it.


I wonder if Georgia tech had any special techniques when they beat Cumberland 222-0


Yes, the players were twice as big, twice as fast, and ten times better. Anyway, great chat!


Such a shame to hear of the college players suicide.


Leaf and Bledsoe also showed their support for him and his family too


Yes, It struck so many with sadness and confusion.


Leaf had also attempted suicide too and can certainly relate to  what the young man was going through at the time.


Yes I heard that too. I think many can relate, sadly. He did leave a suicide note and I don't know what that stated. Do you?


No. Bledsoe reiterated the importance of reaching out to someone when you are going through tough times


Exactly, many stated reaching out is a sign of not weakness but strength. Too sad that so many feel there is no hope.


Suicide still ranks second as the cause of death for many young men aged 18 and up.


That's horrible. So much tragedy. We are on this earth for only a moment in time it seems.


His teammates were able to bounce back and do fairly well in the Holiday Bowl against Michigan, though they ended up losing sadly


I read that too. He completed 130 of 179 passes for 1,176 yards and 7 touchdowns.


I would have loved to see them beat Michigan for sure.


Me too! Hilinski was a great quarterback!


I really couldn't name only 1 haha who is yours?


Oh yeah, great choices! Tom Brady is insanely talented.


I hope he doesn't retire. He actually sat the bench in high school


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,  yes I like the radio when I can listen to it.  I use pandora or audio books a lot though lol


There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.


Would you listen to a weekly news program conducted entirely in classical latin? I wonder how many people can actually understand that.


I cant understand latin so it probably wouldnt be very beneficial to me lol I hear soliders use to make radios with just a razor and pencil.  How do you even do that lol


Maybe you can look it up on Youtube!  Youtube has everything lol


Yeah, I probably could! I just learned that the three wealthiest presidents are jfk, washington and jefferson. I'll have to Google that to confirm.


I saw that too,  but Im pretty sure its Trump,  then Washington and then Jefferson.  i hear the president guest house is bigger than the white house


You and your whole family probably!  Ive never been to the white house but Ive seen pics, its huge lol


Awesome. What do you think of the president of Indonesia? He has released 3 pop albums while in office.


That's impressive, run a country and make 3 pop albums.  Multitasking!  lol


Haha, right! Hopefully he was actually running the country and not just making the pop album! I would be more entertained if the runner up still became the vice president though. Though, it probably would not be the brightest idea.


yeah Hillary and trump wouldnt make a good team. '


I know, haha. Do you think the government should care about the environment? In 2008 the Norwegian government donated  one billion dollars to help save the Amazon rainforest.


absolutely.  The government should be very involved in the enviornment


In Nevada 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the US Government. I hope they are taking good care of it.


Its probably all the military bases and stuff.


Hello there.  Do you want to talk about the government?


Good morning! I think I could talk about the Government and politics all day long!


Ok, well we know that a government is the system or group of people governing an organized community, often a state. In the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislature, executive, and judiciary.


Yes, it is. I find it funny that Wikileakes published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks.


Yes, I agree.  Did you know that the US government owns 86% of Nevada? Wow.


Wow! That is a lot of land. I think it is nice what the Norwegian Government did in 2008.


Yes, that the donated $1Billion to help save the Amazon Rainforest. That was generous of them.


Yes, I agree. It was very selfless. Have you heard about the man in France and his sale of the Eiffel Tower?


Yes, that he impersonated a government official and managed to sell the Eiffel Tower not just once but twice.  Outrageous wasn't it?


Completely insane! So, I know our current President gets a lot of flack, but the first President of Zimbabwe was called President Banana! I wonder if that was a compliment or an insult?


Considering their main export, it might be a compliment.  Also the president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while he was in office. Cool.


Yeah, maybe. And that is surprising about the albums!


Yes, and up until 1802 in the US, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the Vice President. Too bad it's not still like that.


I don't think it would be a good idea to have Trump and Clinton together. They would not get a long at all.


Or maybe they would if they had to, just a thought.  Anyways, do you know anything about radio?  Radio is an interesting topic and there is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.


I like the radio. I know Jupiter has storms so strong that they can be picked up an heard by an am radio.


Yes, and funny thing is that according to Canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be Canadian.


I like that law. It seems like it keeps things fair.


Maybe a good thing.  Did you know that soldiers in WWII made simple radios using a razor blade and pencil as the diode? I think they were called Foxhole radios.


Yes, I'd like to try and make one myself. Nice chatting with you.


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.


Do you follow politics, I think the president has a really important job.


yes I agree, and I do follow it a bit, what about you?


I do, I think its important to keep updated, do you approve of Trump actions while in office?


I think he's making the best of what he's given I don't agree with everything but no one will give him credit for the things he has done, what about you


I think he has some good ideas but not sure if his the right man for the job, too much drama in the White House and he can be really sttuborn at times.


thats true, did you know that he wouldn't be in the list of top three richest presidents of all time


Wow his not on the list? who are the 3 richest presidents of all time then? he must be 4th for sure


ya, its apparently JFK, Jefferson and Washington, this list must be adjusted for inflation


Yeah it wouldnt make sense otherwise, afterall Trump has a guest house  thats larger than the White House,


haha ya that is wild, did you hear about the president of zimbabwe? His nickname is President Banana, does he have a VP names Plantain? haha


Thats funny lol, I bet the VP has a curious nickname as well, I bet President Banana likes yellow


haha that could be it, do you listen to teh ratio at all?


I do, everyday when I commute to work, do you like any particular stations?


well I listen to youtube personally, but I did hear that Jupiter has radio storms that you can pick up on AM radio, maybe listen to those next time before work? haha


That would be amazing, I will look up the frequency it would be really interesting although over time it would also be boring


haha ya, I don't know if id rather listen to that or the finnish radio station that plays all programs in classic latin


That sounds really boring lol, but its been around a long time so Im guessing it has a good segments of fans


ya that's true, do you know that wwii soldiers made radios out of pencils and razorblades? like how was that possible


Wow that is an incredible skill I bet that saved countless of lives back in war, radio is an important invention theres a lot of science behind it


right I agree, they were called foxhole radios and must have player a super important part in the war


Yeah for sure, I bet the goverment kept tabs on soldiers using them even after the war.


Hi!  Do you know much about presidential history?


hi how are you? i dont know much about presidential history. please enlighten me.


ok..lol  The top 3 wealthiest presidents in the American history were JFK, Washinton, and Jefferson.


What? Trump isnt in there? Color me shocked! LOL


lol  I think this data may be from before he was president.  Up until 1805 the runner up in the US presidential elections automatically became vice president.  I couldn't imagine that working in this day and age.


I think that it would as fun as a barrel of monkeys! Hill-dawg and Trump together in the Oval Office. Priceless!


LOL  The first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana!


that is a silly name. Perfect! That is an insulting moniker that no one will ever forget. what should trumps nickname be?


I would have to say Jason Momoa's character now  lol  because I just met him at a comic con. lol


Thats great! he seems like a great guy! he must get all the women at the con to come by.


I forgot to put the name....lol  Kahl Drogo.  You would have to look him up.  If you don't watch the show though, you won't get the Trump nick.


I do!  I would like to try to find the AM channel where I could listen to the Jupitor radio storms.  I think that would be neat.


you can listen to solar activity too. I wonder how the jupiter storms sound. better than top 40 these days?


They just might! lol  I like how in Canada, the law requires that at least 40 percent of the music played has to be Canadian artists. I think that gives some artists a better chance of being heard.


I guess, but then what about the internet? can the canadian govt dictate content there?


I'm not sure on that one.  I know they have a different domains there that end in .ca Speaking of gov'ts...did you know that 86 percent of the land in Nevada is owned by the US government?


That is insane. i wonder what the govt does on all that empty land. alien experiments? war games? LOL


Both! lol   In 2008 the Norwegian government donated $1 billion dollars to help save the Amazon rainforest.  I had fun chatting with you!


I had a lot of fun chatting too! Have a good evening!


hi, do you know much about the government?


Hi! I know an average amount about the government, but recently learned that the government is under intense pressure to come clean about the mistreatment of people that were invited to settle after World War II when there were labor shortages, what started those pressures anyway?


oh wow did not know that. wonder if wikileaks has any info about that


They might, Do you know what the controversy is surrounding Wikileaks?


yeah they have published secret documents that show how the gov't is trying to destroy them


Oh no wonder, what were the consequences as a result of the leaks? Were there charges pressed?


yeah and i think that is why the ceo was deported


Oh wow, I wonder if the CEO wanted to renounce his citizenship since the US government publishes the full names of people who chooses to renounce their citizenship.


yeah that is a strange one. do you listen to the radio?


Yes but I only listen to the radio when in the car, though I have yet to stumble upon the station that plays solar sounds of the sun's music. Have you?


no but that is an interesting one. have you ever listened to canadian radio?


No, I'm not familiar with Canadian radio, how is it different from American radio?


well they are required to play canadian music 40%of the time


Wow, how do they monitor that radio stations do that? Is there a penalty for not hitting those numbers?


i think so, i am not entirely sure though


I heard on the radio this morning that there have been five presidents that have won the popular vote but still lost the presidential election, do you think that deters people from voting?


I think so, because then why are we voting


Yeah, do you wish the US system chose its presents based on the popular vote instead of the current system?


Very much so. Do you know who the wealthiest presidents were?


Me too, I'm not sure who the wealthiest presidents are, but if I had to take a guess, I'm thinking that Trump isn't on that list?


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.


How do you think our president is doing?


If you look at the stats and avoid the so-called news, very well...


that is a good way to put it! I think if he released a pop album like the president of indonesia, it may help him with everyone lol


I just can picture him singing! the 1st president of Zimbabwe was called banana!


Is that because of his hair or skin?  I never quite got that.  I guess his guest house is bigger than his house house.


both lol! I have seen the white house but never saw the guest house. I wonder why that is, do you know?


I was wondering the same.  Is it attached?  He doesn't need it with all his hotels.  He didn't make the top 3 wealthiest presidents? They are JFK, Jefferson and Washington according to my recent reading.


right! I wonder if it is to show off to other countries guests. I think he may be the top if we ever get his tax returns lol


I'm just wondering how they compared a limo to a horse. Weird that before 1805, the runner up in a presidential election was made the VP.  That would mean Hillary and Trump would work together!  WOW


That would be the best reality show ever! I would pay to see that, maybe they could have made the pop album together lol!


Amen!  I think that album would be death to one's ears.  Did you know that 86% of the land in NV is owned by the government.  The rest must be casinos and nuclear test grounds.


That is a good point, I wonder if the 86 percent is all deserts and wonder what they do there.


It may be BLM land leased to farmers and ranchers?  Funny that Wikileaks published plans  of the gov't plans to destroy them.  We should hire Wikileaks to do the work of the CIA and FBI.


Right lol they could tell us everything. There should be a wikileaks channel on the radio!


Yep!  It's wild that soldiers in WWI could make a radio from razor blades and pencils.  I could make a drawing of me cutting myself.


right, I would be drawing that too. I wonder how that worked. Radios are crazy, they pick up storms from jupiter sometimes!


I think that's all I can get on my AM radio in my car. I've yet to tune into episodes on classic radio dramas like one can get on internet.


lol me too. I would be interested to listen to a drama on a long road trip. I am glad it is free so I could test it out.


Yeah, I've been thinking about getting XM but I don't drive that much.  I may, as an alternative, invest in buying the Eiffel Tower.  There's a guy in France that' sold it twice.


Right, lol, I wonder how he did it not once, but twice! It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your night!


I am a fan of America and want our presidents to do well. Are you a fan of our president?


For sure, he is our elected official and we can't do anything about it so I support him in most things. He isn't one of the three richest ever presidents though


JFK, washington, and jefferson. I wonder how they all got their money


Slavery. The guest house is bigger than the white house. Seems strange,


yea i was thinking that also, kind of sad to think that but that is our history. I have never seen the guest house, i may have to google it. Have you seen it?


I have not. I want to google it too. That and the replicas of the white house in france and england.


for sure, i may want to check those out sometime in my life. Did you know that the government owns 86% of nevada


AREA 51! Just kidding, I do not believe in that. Like I would not believe someone trying to sell me the Eiffel Tower.


I was thinking the same thing! I heard they sold it twice and people actually bought it!


Maybe they used the proceeds to help save the rainforest.


I would hope so. The norwegian government sends money to save the rainforest, I dont know how much but hopefully it was a lot


Did you know the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums? I wonder if they are any good...


WHAT! I did not know that. Maybe Trump should release one, I would like him a little more lol


I would worry about the album. It would be rough listening!


HA! He can incorporate his experiences as president into a pop album.


There you go, you got something good going. What would life be like if the runner up became vice president


Terrible. I am fairly certain there would be blood shed in the white house. That or hilary would move to the guest house or replica house in France.


For sure lol. He would make her move there or "lock her up" what a crazy time in our history


I like to stay involved I am afraid ot those deaths over in Maryland and North Virignia


I do too. Wikileaks published the governments plan to destroy Wikileaks.


I think thats funny and also ironic, seems like Wikileaks is one step ahead of the govenmet


I think that's funny too. Did you know 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the government?


No I didnt know that, 86% of the land! thats a lot, there must be a couple blacksites there


I bet lol. In 2006, the US passed a law protecting the government employees from being prosecuted from violating the geneva conventionsl.


I think that law protects a lot of corrupt polititican I do not agree with it, did you hear about the man that sold the Eiffer tower twice?


I did not hear about that. How did that happen?


He posed as a government official and found two suckers that feel for it


Oh wow that's crazy. In 2008, the Norwegian government donated $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest.


I think thats praiseworth, more goverments should do the same and try to protect out planet, we have limited resources afterall


I do, interesting how the radio works, it carries waves in form of information, it looks simple but theres a lot of science behind the inventiion


Yea I love the radio. Jupiter has radio storms so strong they can be heard on Earth.


That must be amazing, a bit boring after a while but I like astonomy


I bet it's very boring lol. In Canada, all radios must play at least 40% of the music from Canada.


What do you think about this law? seems like local talent is supported over there


I think it's a decent law. I guess I'm not opposed to it.


I think it helps artists grow and develope their carrers, there are some great artist from Canada so I guess its paying offf


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!


Hello there, I am well thank you, how about you?


I am well too, thanks. Did you know Trump is not a top 3 president, in terms of wealth?


Yeah I think I had read that, I bet he thinks he is though.  Do you know who the top three are?


I think it is Washington, Jefferson, and JFK. I wouldn't have guessed those three.


I think you are right, yeah I wouldn't have either.  Do you know who the last president to speak a foreign language was?


I guess it was FDR, I would think there was more than just one.  I think it should something all presidents should be able to do.


Agreed. I would think being able to talk to others in their language would be helpful. At least they are not called president banana!


Yeah isn't that funny!  I think it was because his name was really close to that.


I think we have our own unique president though... The guest house is bigger than the white house!


Hey that is a good call, he sure does seem unique!  And that is pretty wild, I wonder what the guests that come to stay think.


I wonder if he will ever make a pop album?


I would be pretty upset if my president had enough time to make 3 albums while in charge of the country.


Me too! Plus, who wants to hear their president sing? Did you see where in 1805 the runner up was the VP?


Agreed, and yeah wouldn't that be something if we went back to that system.  Talk about a reality show.


I am not sure if we would be able to function as a government in today's society with Trump and Hilary, but it's worth giving them a chance.


Yeah I think I would agree, but who knows, maybe it would work better than what we have now.


Do you listen to the radio? There is a website where you can listen to old classic radio... kind of cool.


Yeah I do when I am in my car.  That sounds really cool, I'm sure there are a ton of good ones.


I'm great. Do you follow government much?


Probably not as much as I should.  Did you know there was only one U.S. President with a Phd?


Sounds about right. I figure most of them don't really like school much. The last president to speak a foreign language was FDR.


That is interesting.  Do you think it odd that while many countries use the term president, the role of the president is different?


I believe that. The powers vary with the constitution of the country. Generally though, I expect them to have money. The three wealthiest presidents in US history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson. Surprised that Trump didn't make the list.


That does surprise me.  I would think Trump would make the list for sure.  I think countries where the president is mainly ceremonially, such as royalty, would have a hard time listing their wealthiest presidents.


I guess the real power lies elsewhere. The US president's guest house is larger than the White House. Trump must be disappointed by that, unless he plans to rent out the guest house like a hotel. Or maybe AirBnB.


Well that is interesting.  I had no idea.  Maybe we could all have bigger houses if the U.S. government did away with income tax like Monaco.


I wonder where Monaco gets money for the government then. Some governments seem to do better than others. In 2008 the government of Norway donated $1billion to help save the Amazon rainforest. I don't know how much that helps, but it's the right idea.


Monaco makes enough money off of their casino, and they were able to do away with income tax in 1869.  It is nice that the government of Norway has enough money to donate since some governments have had to be bailed out like the U.S. in 1895 by JP Morgan.


Until 1805, the runner-up in a US presidential election became the Vice President. That system would make for some interesting pairings these days. I wonder how it would work in Indonesia. Would the VP get to release a couple of pop albums?


I am not sure if that would work in today's current state of affairs.  Maybe the VP would get to release a couple of pop albums, and if the chicago alt-rock radio station's djs didn't reveal the VP was hte singer, one of the songs could become the most requested track like the hanson song which was.


Sneaky DJs! They knew what they were doing! Probably wouldn't work if the songs were in Latin though.


It might make a little more difficult depending on the audience, but you never know.  I mean look at one of the most popular radio acts of the 1930s that was a ventriloquist.


On the radio. Hm. Defeats the whole point of being a ventriloquist. I guess the content of the patter was funny?


I am thinking it must have been.  I wonder if it was as interesting as Tom Wolfe's books, like the "The Right Stuff" and the "Bonfire of the Vanities?"


Tom Wolfe lived a pretty good life. I haven't read his books, but many of them got made into films. Well, I've enjoyed chatting with you!


I think his books were a stark contrast to Serge Martin's book "The Agony of Modernization: Labor and Industrialization in Spain."  It's been nice chatting with you as well.


No problem.  It was nice chatting with you.


Hello.  Could you imagine if our president had biker group that was almost a military arm and really supported him?  That is what the Night Wolves are in Russia as they are pro-Putin and Kremlin.


That's not too surprising that Putin uses the Night Wolves as proxy enforcers, it's been happening throughout history


The poor Slovakians just want to be free of military occupation especially from Russia (or the old Soviet Union) and then they have to deal with it again with these biker gangs.


It's interesing that Slovak forces collaborated with the Nazis and fought against the Soviet forces during WWiI, no love lost between them


That's a good point.  The old Soviet Union has a long memory as well.  With the Night Wolves assisting, you have this mobile, quasi-military force that will intimidate from Slovakia to the Crimea.


It seems to be pretty effective, I'm surprised there hasn't been more coverage on the Night Wolves paraded through Crimera


It is really a crazy region with global ramifications.  Poland refused the Night Wolves entry through their lands.  That said,, many countries the group want to traverse through have issues finding legal justification to prevent it.


It's interesting how motorcycle gangs are prevalent not just in the US but in Europe as well


I thought that as well.  I don't want to imply that Russia is the only place with questionable activity.   Did you know that a guy pretending to be with the French government actually sold the Eiffel Tower twice?!?


Lol no, that's hilarious. I wonder how much he sold the Eiffel tower for


That is a good question.  Imagine the person trying to come and claim it with their bill of sale in tow.


He should try and sell Nevada, 86% of the land in owned by the US government


Good luck with that!  Maybe that is where the government is planning to destroy Wikileaks, which we all know will end up on that site anyway.


Or maybe the Gov't is using AM radios to harvest the energy from Jupiter's radio storms


I might take that over forcing us to listen to US music.  In Canada, a law mandates that nearly half of all music content  on the radio has to be Canadian.


Still it's not as worse as listening to the all classical latin new program Nuntii Latini in Finland


Good point.  I'd probably stick with some classic radio dramas.  I hear you can listen to thousands of those for free online.


That sounds good but you won't be able to listen to them if all you have is a radio made from a razorblade and pencil


Who listens to it that way?  Can that be done?


The soldiers in WWII did and called them foxhole radios


That's really cool and so innovative. Not sure if it is as innovative as say a president releasing pop albums while in office!  LOL


Don't give Trump any ideas. Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


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.


I've never heard of the Windrush generation.  But hey, at least we aren't the only country that has immigration problems


Yeah of course, there is so much movement around the world in terms of immigration. Do you know anything about wikileaks?


A little, that was the Julian Assange thing wasn't it?  The government owns 865 of the land in Nevada?  Thats a little odd


Yes it was him and they actually managed to publish documents that showed how the government is trying to destroy them


Good for them, somebody has to be able to find out the stuff the government is trying to cover up


I guess yeah. ANd about Nevada, I wonder if they ever plan to do anything with all that land


Did you see the part about the us passing laws to protect gov employees who violate the geneva convention from being prosecuted?  That seems... corrupt


It does seem, those laws are in place for a reason and the us employees should not be the exception


I'm going to have to look more into the guy who sold the eiffel tower twice.  That must be quite the story


hahha I know, twice, that is just amazing. Did you hear about the Norwegians trying to save the amazon?


I doubt we are doing anything, so good for them.   We can pick up am radio signals from storms on Jupiter?  Thats amazing, its so far away


That is really cool. Have you ever listened to Canadian radio?


I don't think so, not on purpose anyway.  Very nationalistic that so much of their music has to be Canadian


Yeah I guess it is all about supporting national talent. Do you know any latin?


Just a couple of words, do you?  I did used to listen to old radio programs when we were kids


No I do not but there is a radio in Finland that plays their news in latin


I know people can be very inventive, but making a radio out of a razorblade and a pencil is pretty cool


That is pretty cool, those soldiers must have been skillful. WOnder what channels it picked up though


Right?  Probably just military communications.  Couldn't have had much range


Yeah most likely. Do you listen to radio dramas?


When I was a kid we listened to some old stuff.  Now the kids can watch movies in the car.  Good talk!


Not really. When I was younger I did. You?


Same, mainly podcasts now for me.  But I hear there is a Finnish radio station that plays a show entirely in classical Latin.


I guess they must have a dedicated group of followers. The news in Latin? Odd.


I don't know exactly what they talk about, and even if I heard it I still would be lost.  LOL


There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free. You could listen to that! I don't know how many people actually do.


That is a cool offering, not exactly up my alley, but neat nonetheless


Many countries limit content, so it's good that the Internet is there. According to Canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be Canadian.


That is shocking that sort of "censorship" if you will, is still allowed.  I guess they are jamming out to Celine Dion all day.


Rush, Neil Young, stuff like that. I understand countries want to protect their markets. Still, the Internet will change things.


It is a giant force in providing content, access to everything is now at our fingertips.  Streaming music alone is changing the face of radio.


Do you follow the presidency much? I'm surprised that Trump is not the richest president in history.


A little, I agree!  Either the data is outdated, or inflation is accounted for.  Pretty shocking still to read that.


I guess land ownership was a lot of it for Washington and Jefferson. JFK got money from his father.


Ahh, very good point.  I didnt think about land ownership as being part of it.


The  president's guest house is larger than the White house. I wonder how Trump feels about that.


When I read that I thought the same thing.  Part of me thinks he would be angry that he doesnt have the bigger house.


He could rent out the guest house. Put up a TRUMP sign. Make enough money to become the wealthiest.


It could be the new Trump hotel.  Staying in the guest house would be a cool experience.  Maybe they should sell nights to pay down the national debt.


It's a thought! Anyway, thanks for the chat!


Do you follow what is happening in Colombia ?


I have a little bit.  The problem in South America is that all these socialist countries are realizing too late that socialism is a terrible way to govern!


On how is socialism related to the peace accord with the FARC ?


A lot of Colombian government is rooted in the communist uprising that occurred about 30 or 40 years ago.  So now they want a right wing candidate, Duque.  But unfortunately, his only experience is as a one term senator.


But reversing Santo's peace accord would mean war again with FARC, is it worth it ?


Probably not.  I love the freedom we have in the United States especially when you look at China and realize that the word censorship is actually censored!


Yeah, China's censorship is problematic, before internet, western world used radio programs to send uncensored news to the communist countries.


Yes, the radio used to be such a useful communication device, especially for entertainment.  Shockingly, a ventriloquist was one of the most popular radio acts of the 1930s!


People used their imagination at the time, radio dramas were very popular, you can still listen to them on a website. Do you still listen to the AM band ?


I do for sports talk now.  It is very interesting to me that a radio station translates solar activity into sound and anyone can listen to the "music of the sun."


Or you could listen to a radio storm on Jupiter. It feels weird that phenomenon's so far away can be picked up by a simple AM radio, that I only use for traffic news.


Haha, I know it is wild!  All that advancement and back about 70 years ago half the allocated music time on radio was dedicated to Bing Crosby recordings!


He was good or maybe he paid radios to play his music, I suspect the president of Indonesia to do the same thing with his 3 pop music albums.


That is wild!  What do you make of all the government shutdown news?  They make such a big deal about it, but its actually happened 17 times in the last 37 years.


It think it is part of the media circus of our time, politicians like the drama more than an efficient government.


Haha, totally.  We just have career politicians now, with the exception of Trump.  In fact, only one US president has ever had a PhD!


And who was it ? I am always surprised by presidents, like Washington being of the richest presidents.


Yea, has to be adjusted for inflation I think.  Woodrow Wilson is the only president with the PhD.


I hope it was adjusted for inflation, otherwise Washington would have been richer that the King of England.


Haha, good point!  Speaking of rich governments, Monaco was able to get rid of their income tax all the way back in 1869 because the casino was generating so much revenue.


And Norway, who is also rich because of its oil, donated 1 billion to save the rain forest.  Great talking to you !


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!


Hello, yes I do actually. Did you know Bill Murray voice the human torch in the fantastic four radio show?


Cool did not know that If you turn the radio to AM you might catch Jupiter's storms


Neat, I would like to hear that. There is a radio station that can translate solar activity to sound


wow cool. Do you know what foxholes are?


Hmm I am not sure, Foxhole radios were something of the past, were they not?


Yeah they were. They were radios that soldiers made using razorblades and pencils during WWII


WOw I wonder how that works actually. A hanson song once became the most popular one because the DJ's did not reveal the band


that is very creative of them. Do you ever listen to Canadian radios?


Hmm not a lot but sometimes. How about you?


I do osmetimes only. Did you know they are required to play 40% Canadian music?


Wow they must really want to support their local singers. Good for them, they have some nice up and coming singers too


Yeah that is true. Do you ever listen to radio dramas?


I cannot say that I do actually. Did you know one of the most popular radio acts was a ventriloquist back in 1970s?


WOw did not know that. Well if you ever want to there is a channels that broadcasts them for free


Oh that is nice, free on top of that. Do you know much about the presidents?


Hm I know some stuff, like  in Guatemala close family of the president are not allowed to run too


That is interesting. THe only US president that has had a PhD was WIlson


Yeah I guess you do not need one after all. DO you know who the wealthiest presidents are in us history?


I do not think I know that actually. I know LIncoln was the first president that was photographed for his inaguration


That is neat. It is Jefferson, JFK and Washington as the wealthiest three


I haven't, but I have been the the Czech Republic.


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


I did not know that. I would think there would be a higher education standard for US presidents.


I would think so also. In Guatemala, close relatives of former presidents cannot legally run for president.


That is very interesting. The president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while running in office.


That's hilarious. Can you imagine if Trump was a pop star?


That would be very funny. I can only imagine some songs he would release.


Haha for sure. Lincoln was the first president to be photographed for his inauguration.


That's very surprising as I believe the camera was inverted years earlier. The top three wealthiest presidents were jfk, washington and jefferson.


I think Trump will probably be on that list as well.


Absolutely. I wonder if he is the most wealthy president we have had.


I bet he is. 5 presidents have been elected while still losing the popular vote.


Thats interesting. US politics can be very confusing. Up until 1805 the runner up in the election automatically became the vice president. Can you imagine Hillary Clinton as Trumps Vice president?


I agree - that would be crazy. The last US president to speak a foreign language was FDR.


I would think foreign languages standards should be at least semi fluent in certain category's for the president.


I would think so, but with the translators, maybe it's a non-issue.


That's true. The first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana. Strange.


That is very strange. Did you know the Chinese government has censored the word censorship?


That seems very controlling. I have heard the Chinese government can be very dictating.


I think so too. It was great talking to you!


Hello, How are you? Do you listen to the radio?


Hello yes i sometimes listen to it,  do you?


Yes, sometimes, not as much as I use to. I am usually using something on my phone


I hear jupiter storms can be heard on th Am radio station


Yes, isn't that crazy! I would like to hear that!! Soldiers in WW2 made radios out of razor blades and pencils


That is very impressive!  How does that even work lol


Not sure, they called them foxhole radios. Did you know in Canada, they have to play at least 40% Canadian?


Yes,  I have heard that,  I wonder what canadian music sound like.  I saw theres a website you can go to to listen to radio dramas too for free!


Yes, I would like to try that! Isn't it interesting that Wikileaks published the governments plans to destroy Wikileaks?


That is pretty funny.  The gov owns 86% of Nevada


Yes, thinking it must be the military! Have you heard of area 51?


Pretty interesting!! I love the idea that the Norwegian government has donated 1billion to help save the rain forest!!Very cool


That is very nice,  I think all the countries should be donating to the amazon forest.  There are still undiscovered animals and insects in there


I agree,  they have done alot of research their! They probably know cures and not saying anything to the general public yet.


Hopefully!  I guess they might just be doing more testing on it lol


I'm glad we still don't use the runner up as our vice-president like they did in 1805.


yeah that could be very weird.  I dont think it would work with our current situation lol


I know never!! ha, There hasn't been a president who wasn't either a democrat or republican since 1853. Seem like a long time ago!


Wow thats a cool fun fact. Did you know the president guest house is bigger than the white house?


Yes, I did, that's interesting!! Did you know the Eiffel Tower was sold twice?


That is crazy!  Hows does someone even try that lol


Impersonating a government official!! Crazy!! Good chat


Great chat,  thanks for talking with me.


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!


Hey there partner. Do you like learning about the government? I think it's so fascinating to learn how various policies are enforced.


I do like learning about the government.


Awesome. I think the ideal government should have a delicate balance between the principle of individual freedom and the idea of absolute state authority.


That is certainly not the case in china where they censored the word censorship.


Yes I feel bad for the Chinese people. I love the Norwegian government for donating $1 billion to save the rain forest.


That was mighty kind of them. Did you know our government has shut down 17 times over the past 37 years. 3 times in 1977.


That seems inefficient. Kind of frustrating actually. I find it funny that WikiLeaks published the government's plans to destroy WikiLeaks.


That is funny. I also find it funny that JP morgan bailed the US government out in 1895. They are probably still paying him back. Lol.


Yes they probably are. Wonder what the president's take on that is? The top three wealthiest presidents of been JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.


I would have thought trump would have been on that list.


I would've thought so too. Maybe he just needs to release some pop albums like the president of Indonesia.


I could see that out of trump. Anything to make a little more money or get a little bit more power. Lol.


Yeah I could definitely see him doing that. Did you know the first president of Zimbabwe was called President banana?


That is funny.. Lol. In Guatemala close relatives of former presiedents cannot run for the presidency.


I wonder if that is a good thing or bad thing? A man in France impersonated a government official and manage to sell the Eiffel tower twice! I wonder how much he made?


really that is just mind blowing to be quite honest. Woodrow wilson was the only president with a phd. That is also surprising.


That's very surprising indeed. In 2006 the US passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva Convention's. Probably for the Iraq war.


Im not to familiar with the geneva convention. I did know that FDR was the last president to spak a foreign language fluently.


I want to know what language that was! Sometimes I like listening to foreign music on the radio. It's not as easy in Canada though because 40% of the music has to be Canadian.


I also heard that the most popular radio act in 1930s was a ventriloquist act.


That is hard to believe. I don't speak Latin but if I did I would listen to the program that the Finland radio broadcast. It was nice talking with you today. Have a great one.


Nice talking with you as well. Have a lovely day.


Do you still get a chance to listen to the radio?


Hello there, I do, I found a really good local station that I like, how about you?


I do. Did you know that the storms in Jupiter are so strong that they can be heard on an AM radio?


I think I have read about that before, that is really amazing!


I agree. Were you aware that you can make a radio with very little?


I think so, I think soldiers in WWI make them using a razorblade and a pencil.


Yes they did. They called them foxhole radios.


Good call!  I think any information or any form of entertainment they could get was well welcomed.


I'm sure it was. Have you heard any of the old radio dramas that were very popular beforeTV?


No I don't think I have, but I do know there is a website where you can listen to tons of them for free.


There is. I wonder if they still hold up?


I bet they do, but still are dated.  I think there are some real gems hidden in that bunch.


You're probably right. Did you know that by law 40% of music played on Canadian radio has to be Canadian?


I think I have heard about that, sounds pretty funny, but I bet the Canadian bands like it.


I would imagine so. So strange that they had to make a law. Are you interested in politics at all?


I am not, I think most of politics is just fighting to stay in position, how about you?


I agree with you but I also think it's important so I do have an interest. Did you know that until 1805 the runner up in a presidential race became the VP? Can you imagine that now?


That is very true.  And yeah isn't that wild, it would be a reality show for sure!


It would be crazy. On the lighter side, do yo know what the first president of Zimbabwe was called?


I think he was called president Banana!  But, I think it was because his actual name was that.


He was! I'm not sure if that was his born name.


Are you comfortable talking about the government?


Sure, I'm up for talking about anything. What do you think of our president and our govt?


What do you think about the statement, the people want to be kept secure and safe, but don't want to know how it is done


I think that it makes us guilty of all kinds of things that we might not want to take part in. We're adults. We can hear the truth.


True but lately, I have been growing feeling that ignorance is bliss to an extent. A bit worried where the current government is going


I am worried too. Too much learning on the job. The Oval Office should be for those with experience. Too much is at stake.


I kind of which they provided more qualified presidential candidates. The last elections choices were for me trying to see who was less worse. Choosing presidents shouldn't be like that


Yes, very frustrating. Money has coopted the entire process. Now the candidate is sold to the highest bidder. I don't have enough money to buy a meaningful vote.


In regards to voting, it is sad how low the voter turnout is in the US


It is quite low. Votes are apathetic and believe they have no faith in the system. How can that be changed? I wonder.


I mean other countries have 90% turnup so...


I know that Australia requires people to vote. That is a good way to get a govt of the people.


I mean I like how the current government balanced freedom with absolute state authority, but the dominance of only 2 party has lead to some issues being argued over just for the sake of a political agenda rather than the people


Yes, the politicians serve themselves first, then the people a distance second. Or third. Actually, do they serve us?


I wonder if the structure in plato's republic would resolve any of our current problems


Philosopher king? SOmething like that? I wonder. I like the lottery system of Athens.


Well basically, those who can't have can rule. But those who don't rule can have.


Oh, no plutocracy then. Renounce possessions and assets and you get the reins of power.


Basically ya, it tries to remove any external forces that would motivate rulers to make selfish choices I guess. Not sure how it would work out though


I figure there would be quid pro quo, not immediate, but after the fact, once the rule left. No way to stop corruption without watchers. But will watch them? Anyway, great chat!


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 glad that the Government is back for the next three weeks.


Me too, its a relief, hope things can settle now, did you hear the news about Alan Diaz?


Therefore, we need to hurry up for our tax refunds! What happened?


Well it seems like he died at age 71, it can seem old but it was still surprising.


I think he dies out of natural causes, what makes his famous is the picture he captured of that kid, Elian Gonzales.


What was Elian Gonzales known for? Was he a prodigy?


No, he was a kid and Alan Diaz took a photo of him in a moment of distress, he earned a Pulitzer Prize because of the photo, a soldier is like pointing a gun at him and the response of the kid is of terror


That is sad. Every picture has a symbolism.


I agree, but behind every picture there is a history as well, Alan Diaz spent a lot of time in Cuba and this boosted his career.


Symbolism and representation of history. He risked his life out there as a photographer.


He did, but maybe retirement was the biggest risk he ever took as he died a few years later, I think maybe retirement killed him


He wanted to continue his career. Why did he have to retire then?


I'm not sure he wanted to continue it, but from personal experience once someone retires passion gets lost and that could kill you, so changing the subject a bit you know that Trumps guest house is bigger than the White House?


That is sad. To be honest, his ideas are different.


I don't agree with much of his ideas either, I think we made a mistake when he got elected but oh well there's not much we can do now.


It's ridiculous with the wall. This caused the government to shut down. Imagine those people who have families need money to provide for them.


I know, its a terrible situation and for absurd reasons, at least his not making pop albums with his time in office like the president of Indonesia.


Speaking of pop albums, I believe that Kanye West is siding with Trump?


He is? well Kanye isn't the best person to ask lol, his had a lot of controversies during the past years.


hey there what do you think of our government and constitution


I think that like everything, there is good and bad to it.  The bad for example, I find it odd that the US government owns 86% of Nevada.


wow that is scary, good to know that norway donated 1 billion dollars to the amazon rainforest though


It is nice to hear of a government doing something positive.  The government can be quite complicated.  Usually it consists of legislature, executive and judiciary.  I can see how things can get very confusing very quickly.


oh ya for sure, imagine the complicated scheme the guy who sold the eiffel tower used, he sold it not once but two times haha


Wow, that is amazing.  How can someone even manage to pull something like that, and twice?


I know right, did you hear how the gov had a plan to destroy wikileaks?


Yeah, ironically Wikileaks is who published that.


haha yup, do you know who President Banana is?


Wasn't the President of Zimbabwe called that?  You think that is weird, did you know the President of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums, while in office.


haha you'd think so, maybe he should make a pop album, he could call it president banana and vp plantain! haha


That's funny.  I cannot imagine how someone can run a country and release albums.  I don't know how they would find the time.  Of course not all Presidents have the same amount of power, it depends on the country.


yes I agree, can you believe the runner up used to become the VP in the USA? That is so wacky


Up until 1805, right?  I kind of wonder if that wouldn't be a better system in some ways.  Maybe there would be less animosity since they would be forced to work together.


ya I would like to see Pres Trump and VP Hillary, it would either be hilarious or horrible haha


Yeah, I can see the downside potentially.


do you know the top 3 richest presidents btw?


If I remember correctly it was JFK, Washington and Jefferson.  I am surprised it was presidents from long ago and not more current.


I know and I was surprised Trump was not on the list, very strange!


Can you believe that the Guest house is actually bigger than the white house?  I would like to see that since the white house is huge.


ya I need to go back and see it, I only was there once back in middle school


Yeah, I went quite a while ago as well.  Well, it was nice chatting with you.  Have a good day.


A little, what would you like to start with?


Let's start with the presidents.  Did you know that the top 3 wealthiest presidents in American history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson?  I think that was before Trump became president....


yeah, I was surprised Trump was not on that list, that list has to be from before 2016


I'm thinking it is.  Did you know that the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office?  He would fit right in here in the states. lol


Yeah, that's funny. I wonder if you get into trouble for criticizing the the presidential music? Maybe get caned in Indonesia


Oh my!  LOL  Up until 1805 the runner up in the US presidential elections automatically became the vice president.  Interesting.


Vice President Clinton, can you imagine?


It would definitely make it interesting.  lol  Did you know that the US presidents guest house is larger than the White House?


Buttering them up!  lol  Did you know that the first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana?


Now wouldn't that be funny!  Did you you know that 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the US government?  That pretty much leaves Las Vegas and Reno as the only spots to live. LOL


yeah, that's lot of desert and secret military bases


No doubt!  In 2008 the Norwegian government donated $1 billion to help save the amazon rain forest.  That's a lot of money.  I wonder if it helped at all.


Probably the Norwegian tax payers. LOL  A man in France impersonated a government official and managed to sell the Eiffel tower not once, but twice.  That's nuts.


That would be funny ! hahaha  On another cool topic before I have to get off here... Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an AM radio.  That's pretty cool!


I was just reading about the fox hole radios, just need a razor blade and a pencil, that's pretty interesting as well.


That is.  Talk about being creative with what little you have to work with.  I got to run.  It's been fun chatting with you!


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.


hey did you know the university of iowa painted the rival team's locker room pink? haha


I guess it's meant to psych out the opposition. How many home games have they won though? Talent wins.


haha thats what I want to know, personally I think that would make me play better because I'd be mad haha


Times have really change for sports. In the 60s top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars. Does anyone watch bowling now? Maybe the U of Iowa would paint the other team's lanes pink or something.


ya that's a good point, maybe the pros will paint their bowling ball pink as well? haha, I guess the highest football score ever was 222-0 isn't that crazy


Georgia Tech crushed Cumberland. Did the GT coach put in the third string? Did he have money riding on the game or something? Was there a pink lockerroom involved?


haha those are all great questions, ya I think after like 100-0 I would definitely just give up, there's no coming back, maybe they should paint their football pink


ESPN won an Emmy for creating the superimposed yellow line showing the first down line for American football games. Was it weak field of Emmy contestants that year or something? The U of Iowa would want a pink line for the visiting team.


haha I would like to see that on TV, people that create things are always interesting like the guy who created the football huddle, he was deaf and did it to prevent the opposing team from seeing his hand signs


Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. There is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL. I wonder why that is. Is it unusual to play QB from that side?


thats a good question, what I want to know is does that give him an advantage, disadvantage, or probably it doesnt matter, do you listen to music?


Sure. Do you follow dance at all? Tupac the rapper danced ballet in high school. He played the mouse king in The Nutcracker. Not really in line with his image as a gangsta.


haha no that sounds like it would have been a wild performance to see, I wonder what kind of music babies like best, apparently they will dance and smile when they hear a beat


Music is fundamental to our psyche. I wish dance were the same.


ya, I'm bad at dancing, definitely not as good as Bruce Lee who apparently won a dance competition back in 1958


He could kick it on the dance floor and in the dojo. Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of shoes a week. I wonder how many Bruce went through in a week.


that's a good question, I used to date a ballerina and ya he does were really messed up, all that dancing will affect your shoes and also your feet


It's tough on your body. I've never been attracted to doing ballet. But I understand that it's challenging.


ya, also tough on your body is the Michael Jackson leaning device that he used, it used wires and apparently Jackson has a patent on it


It was a clever illusion. Quite convincing. Well, I enjoyed chatting with you! Have a good night!


Thank you, you too! keep looking for that Tupac ballet tape I want to see it!


Hello, do you have a favorite football quarterback?


yes my favorite football qb is Aaron Rodgers.


Ah, mine is probably Tom Brady, although a lot of Americans also like him


How much longer before Tom Brady retires?


I am not sure, do you know? I also wanted to point out that the only left handed quarterback in the NFL is Kellan Moore


Really is Kellan Moore the only left handed quarterback? What tean does he play for?


He has played a total of six seasons for the cowboys and the Detroit lions.


Oh i did not know that. Did he ever start a game?


I am not sure. The circular huddle used in the NFL was invented so the opposing team could not see the hand signals.


Wow thats amazing. Did you know the highest score in a football game ever was 222-0?


I feel very bad for the team that lost by 222 points. It was Georgia tech that defeated Cumberland right?


Yes it was. You have such good football knowledge.  Which football quarterback has the most consecutive starts?


I am actually not sure on that one. Was it Tom Brady? I am not sure, who was it?


Well it was Brett Favre. Did you know  Bruce Lee was a great dancer?


I never imagined Bruce Lee to be a dancer until I learned that he won the kong cha cha championship back in 1958!


Did you know when Bruce Lee was a baby he would spontaneously dance when he heard music, and he smiled more when he hit the beat?


No I did not. Professional ballet dancers can go through up to four pairs of ballet shoes a week!


That is true. Did you know Tupac danced ballet in high school?


He was a ballet dancer that portrayed the mouse king in the nutcracker right?


That is right. I never would have thought that tough ex gang member rapper Tupac danced ballet.


Michael Jackson has a patent on a device that can be used to achieve a lot of lean.


Was that a lean he did in some of his dance moves?


Yep, I was always wondering how he achieved those.


What is the most popular sport in the world?


I belive that it is soccer (or football)


That is correct. Have you ever played soccer?


Ah, so have I. Anyways, I have to go now. Thank you for the wonderful chat!


Hi do you like to dance? Even babies spontaneously dance when music is played for them.


Yes! I am not a big dancer. I think that as we age, we lose a lot of our childlike joy in things.


Perhaps, I do still like a lot of childhood things. I am still a big fan of bruce lee who was also a great dancer.


I am a big fan of Bruce Lee as well. He won a dance championship in the 50's.  His movements were so graceful.


Yes the 1958 cha-cha championship. Good times.


Have you ever taken a dance class?  Ballet is beautiful. Dancers can go though 4 pairs of their pointe shoes in a week!


That's a lot of shoes! I never had the opportunity to take classes probably because I played a lot of football as a quarterback.


Football is my favorite sport.  Did you enjoy playing QB?  How many years did you play?


I played for 4 years in high school. It was fun but high stress the QB involved in pretty much every offensive play and lets face it no one cares about defense.


Unless you are ON the defense! I think it is amazing that Tom Brady had such a slow start to his career.


yeah they didn't even start him once on his high school team.


Yes. And not at first in college either. Never give up on your dreams. Very inspiring. Do you like the Redskins?


I do, I have been to RFK Stadium before. It was a long time ago.


I have been to Fed EX field, not RFK. Alex Smith is one of my favorite QB's. He started college as a junior.  Sad about his injury this year.


yeah that's too bad. I think part of the reason I gave up on football was I never had a fair shot because I'm left handed. Even now there is only 1 left handed qb in all of the nfl.


Yes, that is statistically odd. When did the Redskins move to the new field?


hmm It was 1997 when they moved into FedEx Field.


High school players sometimes get to play on pro fields, like RFK Stadium. Did you ever get to do that as QB?


No unfortunately not. I remember when the old RFK hosted a triple header of HS games. It would have been so cool to play on that field.


Something magical about that!  I have been down on the Broncos field, and in Arizona.  Football fields have a lot of tradition associated with them.


Yes. Anyways I should go. It was nice talking to 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 sure do . DO you have a favorite position in the game?


me too. Did you know Brady was a backup QB that never got started n high school?


Yeah that was big mistake on their behalf as the guy is awesome


you bet it was. DO you know who ALex Smith is?


Yes he is a QB who is also super smart and finished college in two years


yeah he planned ahead by taking lots of ap tests, smart kid


Yes. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


Yes that was Paul Hubbard who was deaf and did not want the other team to understand what he was saying


Yeah smart guy. Baker Mayfield wanted to become a professional gamer and quit football


Yes he still claims to be really good at Halo 3


Yeah and the thinks that he can beat anyone at U of Oklahoma at it


Wow good for him I guess. DO you know who kellan moore is?


Yes he is the only left handed QB in the NFL right now


I wonder if he has any advantages for that fact over the others


I like it too . DO you know why the managers wear uniforms?


That is because they can play of they team needs them to


yes. Do you know what kickball is called in Canada?


Hello.  Do you like football? Are ready for the super bowl?  I hope we have a good game like the football game that occurred in 1916 when the score was 222-0.  Georgia tech vs. Cumberland.


I am ready and really exited, my team is playing so I am really looking forward to it, and that would be really unusual
