*eyes widen* Hi.  Do you still subscribe to TV (cable or satellite) or have you cut the cord?
gpt
i have cut it. i do not like to watch the tv. it is a distraction and a time waster. do you still subscribe?
human
I have cut the cord as well.  I can get local news / weather with an over-the-air antenna.  I still watch via streaming (Netflix and Amazon Prime) - no commercials and I can stop at anytime or binge watch if I want to.  Did you know that there are more than 750 episodes of Pokemon.  That's more than 250 hours or 10 days of binge watching!
gpt
please do not binge watch pokemon. that will destroy your brain. you must resist! remain strong!
human
It is not something I would binge watch.  But some comedies are worth it (over several days).  Like "3rd Rock from the Sun".  Did you know it beat out Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier for the 1998 Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series?
gpt
it must be a great show to binge watch. i will put 3rd rock on my binge list. it is not a new show, but it must be a classic
human
*raises eyebrows* it ended in the early 2000s.  Another one I stream from time to time is the Simpsons.  When I am in the right mindset, it can be an entertaining political satire / comedy.  Bart is so essential to the show that there is only one episode in which he does not appear or is mentioned!
gpt
i will look for that episode! i wonder if it is really that funny without bart in it. he is the best!
human
I agree.  Earlier I brought up Seinfield.  Did you follow his series "Comedians in Cars" on Netflix?
gpt
i did not, but it sounds pretty funny. what do they talk about? seinfeld is a funny guy.
human
Its an impromptu dialogue on the way to a coffee shop often in a vitage / classic car.  It went on for 9 seasons.  So are you a car, truck, or SUV person?
gpt
i prefer the car. i like cars, especially fast ones. i cannot afford one though! LOL
human
I live in a rural area (on the edge of suburbia) so I have a truck because I have some livestock.  In a bit of trivia, did you know it is legal to have flame throwers on your vehicle to prevent carjacking?  I wonder if auto theft is higher there than here?  It certainly implies it!
gpt
There is a lot of crime there. 
human
*takes a step back* Well, one thing I cannot do with my truck is go thru the McD's drive-thru.  Its a Ford F-350 with dual rear tires, so it sits too far out to make the food / money exchange.  I thought McD put drive thru as a way to bring in more customers (and it did that too) but it was for GIs who could not get out of their cars wearing regulation fatigues! 
gpt
that is great! good for mcd's. they were thoughtful of the customers that needed them the most. military food is terrible! and fast food is necessary for good morale among the troops! LOL
human
Now days, cars can come with built-in cellular service.  Do you have that and do you use it to stream TV in you car?
gpt
i do not but i think it could be a distraction to drivers! i would not want that. i am a bad enough driver as it is.
human
*raises eyebrows* Very good point!  I don't have because of the cost.  If we go on a roadtrip, then I will download stuff to the Ipad for the kids, like Thomas the Tank Engine for the youngest.  Did you know that George Carlin narrated more than 50 episodes of Thomas?  I would have never thought that  given his salty tongue!
gpt
george carlin, the comedian? he is a great talent, but i hope he didnt use any of those seven words! LOL
human
True, he may be a beloved comedian, but I would have never considered him a narrator for a "G" rated young kids show.  Neither would have I thought Alec Baldwin to be able to hold his tongue and narrate Thomas as well for more than 50 episodes!
gpt
*hands at sides* yes, alec would have spewed something hateful and then apologized right there on the recording. i guess they had to carefully edit the recording. LOL
human
Back to comedy and Carlin, are you a fan of British Comedy, like Monty Python?
gpt
I do like the Python. they made some great movies, like holy grail.
human
*eyes widen* I liked it as well.  Interestingly enough, the creator of the "Python" programming language named it in part as a tribute to the Monty Python comedy group.
gpt
*hands at sides* that is quite an homage. the inventor must have loved their work. anyway, great chat!
