For the first time, at least in our lifetime, we have these devices that essentially create this curiosity of things that aren't necessarily important to us. We know if our kids are kind of vying for our time, we know what's next. But if that slack ping happens or that email, what's behind door two? Door number two is never important. One out of 100 times, it's going to be important. And if it is important and you don't get to it, you're going to get a text anyways, right? But yet, once we hear that, I mean, my buddy, Neerai Al, has a good sort of way of testing this, like just put your phone there and then feel the visceral response when you see that little LED light ping up, that there might be something they're waiting for, you can feel it, right? And so one of the first things that I suggest is creating a transition ritual. It's okay to be off of work for certain hours of your day.  You know, I talk about it in the book about fun at work. Some people even find it fun to be at their desk and work through work, as long as that's their decision, you know, because again, it's flexing your autonomy, right? So it doesn't, if productivity is a value of yours, then great, like Noah Kagan from AppSumo challenged me on this a bit. He's like in my 20s, grinding it out with my friends because we were drinking beers and we were doing fun stuff along with these, you know, codathons was fun.  You know, these were all over LinkedIn over the last four weeks, like since last time this survey was done, the social wellness survey, I think it was just a few years ago, 39% of Americans classified themselves as very happy, we're now down to 19%. The APA, so the American Psychological Association, just did a survey about personal wellbeing, found that one in four workers are so burnt out, they don't even know what to do when they get home, they have like nothing left in the tank.  And again, I hope we're kind of opening our eyes to fun and leisure in the same way we did with sleep, you know, two decades ago. And with that point and what Noah was making, relationships are also being sacrificed. We talked about, we touched on this a little bit earlier, but our relationship with our coworkers is as fraught as it's ever been. We don't feel connected to our coworkers, we're not spending time at the water cooler getting to know each other, we're not investing at all in their lives, we're so self-focused and self-motivated to reach our own goals. That heck yeah, Johnny and I have done hackathons at AOC, we worked all hours of the night, but we were doing it with a bunch of friends, like when we started at AOC, it was a bunch of friends coming together saying, hey, let's build this thing. That relationship created the space for fun, even though we were doing work. But if you view your coworkers as adversarial or competitors that are vying for getting ahead of you or taking advantage of you or one-upping you, which a lot of our clients come to us with, how do I deal with these relationships with our coworkers? Then it becomes something that is not fun. All fun is stripped away from work and it becomes a monotonous task that you just got to grind to get ahead. And that's why I think it's so interesting as we start to move into A as we go through SAVER, that there are things under our control. It may feel right now, if you're listening to this, that everything we're talking about up until this point hasn't related to you or maybe you're in a different position, but there are still things that you can find that are within your control, that you can start to change, turn the dial on to create the space for the fun that all the science you shared earlier backs up, creates the productivity, creates reaching your goals, creates those moments of happiness and joy in our life that power us forward towards the meaningful life that we're all searching for on this planet.


So, welcome to the Monotomy Concert Series, we have a really great concert tonight. It's the Essex Piano Trio, and we have a great program, Sounds of Vienna, and I think you'll enjoy it very much. So it's Ashley off from the violin, David Cabral, cello, and Beverly Soul on piano. You are part of our friends, so we like to talk with you a little bit and share a little bit about the music as we go on. So, we've divided our little conversation this evening into three parts. There's sort of the appetizer, salad part, I'm not sure which part you just had, but there's a little bit more of that to come. And then there's the big Schubert Middle Chorus, and it's a big one, but I think you'll love it, it's beautiful music.  So that's the structure of the music of the early composers of Vienna, the processes, Haydn Mozart Beethoven, the big ones. And then share how that builds into Schubert, who is the next generation and the piece that we're going to play for you is a magnificent work. But we wanted it also to be relevant to now, so then and now. So what we've done with our Mozart that we just played, we're pairing another little piece with it that was written as a lament for a friend lost to the composer. And the composer was a violinist who played a great deal of Mozart. So Mr. Peart took a small part of a Mozart sonata, a small movement. I'm going to play just a fragment of it because you need to know that before we start. Mozart sonata to many others, a piano sonata, very pretty movement. So Mr. Peart took this movement and ripped it apart, essentially. He's going to share a little fragments of it, adding violin cello for some of it, giving it back to me. But he's added to that some dissonance, some things that may make you cringe a little piece that we're about to play for you. So he was the first of the famous classicists to die, very young. The revered master is still alive and lives on past, just about everybody can see. But Beethoven, the young whippersnapper who's crude and outrageous has come unseen in Vienna. He's about to play his first three piano trios, piano trios, the first oboe, that's crazy, in one sitting for the master Haydn who is in attendance. And the wonderful thing about the movement we've decided to play for you tonight is Beethoven is so happy. Beethoven didn't have a very nice life if you know any stories about him, but he was happy at this point. He was on the cusp of wonderful things happening. And so this movement just rollocks and is so joyful.  But Maestro Haydn liked it, and perhaps because we think that it was stolen a little bit from a Haydn piece we'll play for you later. So there, that's the secret. Younger successor to Beethoven, we'll say. So much so that he asked to be a pallbearer at Beethoven's funeral, and he asked also that his father arranged for him to be buried beside Beethoven when he died. And he was. Sadly, only a year after Beethoven, and Schubert was very young, and then ill for quite some time. So the amazing thing is that this piece, which we think is modeled probably on Beethoven's Opus 97 Archduke. Schubert's Opus 99, this B-flat trio, has the same structure, the same kind of format. But the astonishing thing about both of these late life pieces for these two composers is their joy and their exuberance. And I think this piece is one of the most beautiful that we've ever played. It's just exquisite. It's long, it's about 40 minutes, so I plan to just sit there and have a good time with it. But it's a fairly serious first movement, a gorgeous, gorgeous slow movement that mostly, as these guys, they get the duet for that.  Scarlet C are called joke, sometimes. And I think it's the composer's joke on the performers, because they always sound so easy and they're always just filled with nasty little tricks. And they're almost universally that way. So this one is no exception, but sure. And then there's a funky little theme at the end, the last movement, that just rollocks along so happily. And who would ever think that the composer was going to be dead within a few months? He just was writing this joyful, joyful music. So we hope that you'll share our love for it as we play it. But you can still stretch while I talk. So now stuff, we're going to do now the composer, who is still alive, a little bit of popular and so-called art music, whatever one wants to call it, closer together. So you hear a little of that in his music at all times. He's also, I've met him, a very funny man, just delightful to be around and to talk with. And some of that humor shows up in his music, as it does in this piece. He wrote in 2009 a piece in tribute anniversary of 200 years after Haydn died. Did you get that? So he's wanted to honor the old master. And Haydn is the person with the surprise symphony, the one who liked to put little interesting moments in his music. So Bolton does that too. So his little Haydn goes seek of which we're going to play just the introduction has a lot of very pregnant pauses, strange modulations. I don't think I have a single chord that doesn't have an accidental line. And yet it sounds very normal, but it's a tribute to the drama that you hear sometimes in Haydn's works of that sort. But Mr. Bolton wrote an introduction and a rondo. We're not going to play the rondo, play a little, continue the little joke. We're going to play as the rondo, the Haydn Gypsy Rondo, the most famous movement perhaps from his piano trios. And it may remind you a little of our chicken Beethoven earlier. But we're going to play those as one piece, page turns allowing between. But the Bolton introduction to the Haydn Gypsy Rondo, and we think that probably both composers across the years would have thought that was fun. And thank you.  We have loved playing for you and looking forward to sharing this last group. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring John Wayne, Mel Ferrer, and Malah Powers in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keely. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The history of the United States Cavalry is one of daring accomplishment and romance. And in our play tonight, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, we present a colorful drama from its glorious past. As our stars of the RKO's screen success, we present one of the most popular actors of today, John Wayne. And co-starring with him is a very versatile artist, Mel Ferrer, and one of the most beautiful young actresses in Hollywood, Malah Powers. We wish to congratulate John Wayne on receiving the Photoclay Gold Medal Award as the most popular actor of the year. And hope he'll continue to appear in such fine American pictures as John Ford's great production of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. We know the ladies have always been color-conscious, whether it was yellow ribbons in their hair or gay-flowered handkerchiefs in their pockets. And they've always depended on Lux Flakes to preserve these colors. And now, Lux with color freshener is more wonderful than ever. Here, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, adapted from the famous story by James Warner Bella, starring John Wayne as Captain Brittle's, Mel Ferrer as Lieutenant Cohill, and Malah Powers as Olivia Dandridge. It is 1876. Custer is dead. Custer and over 200 men of the 7th Cavalry. It's more than just a victory for the Indians. It is a signal to unite. Kiowa, Comanche, Arapaho, Sue, and Apache, united in common war against the United States Cavalry. Our post is far to the south of the little big horn. Fort Stark, isolated. Kind of lonely for some, I guess. Anyway, this day started like a thousand others before it, with Sergeant Quinn Cannon standing in the doorway of my cabin. Good morning, sir. 5.42, sir. 5.41. And a lovely morning at his captain, darlin'. Coated in blazes. News? As follows, sir. Mrs. Jamison had her baby. The stagecoach run from here to Seward Rose Wells has been discontinued. And there's a dispatch rider in from the Desert Patrol. Well? Private McKenzie got himself shot, sir. Boy or a girl from Mrs. Jamison? A little super, sir. When does the stage stop running? Finish, sir. No more stagecoach, sir. McKenzie, is he bad off? No, sir. Good man, Quinn Cannon. He'll make corporal in five or six years. Yes, sir. Well, scratch another day off that calendar. Just six more days, Captain Darlin'. Six more days and you'll retire, sir. I am well aware of that, Quinn Cannon. The Army will never be the same without you, sir. The Army is always the same. The sun and the moon change, but the Army has no seasons.  That's a willful abuse of the taxpayer's money, sir. The only tax you ever worried about was on whiskey. I beg your pardon, sir. I guess you have a reason for busting in, Mr. Kohill. Sir, Sergeant Tyree's just entered the post. He's got half the Paradise River Patrol with him, sir, and the Paymaster's coach. Keep talking, mister. Well, the Paymaster's dead, sir. Gunshot wounds. Dead when Tyree found him, sir. Near Red Beauty, sir. The money box is gone. Gunshot wound. Yes, sir. Though the coach is stuck full of arrows, too. Well, tell Sergeant Tyree to report it once to Major Allshard's quarters. Take over mooring inspection, Lieutenant. Yes, sir. And tell Tyree to bring one of those arrows with him. Now, let me look at that arrow again. Yeah. You sure it's not Kyle, Captain? No, and it's not Comancheen or Arapahoe either, Major, not with those color bands. Sir, with your permission... All right, Tyree, put in your two cents worth. Well, sir, these arrows with the yellow, white, and red bands are the signs of the Southern Cheyenne. And I've seen banics and snakes with the same color. Yes, sir, but looking at the clan mark, this mark right here, it's the sign of the dog. Then tell me what in blazes would Cheyenne be doing this far south? That ain't my department, sir. Alert the post, Sergeant. Yes, sir. And get some rest. Well, Nathan, any ideas? I'll go out in the morning, pick up the patrols and drive those Cheyenne back where they belong. Let me think on it, Nathan. I'll let you know later. The day wore on. Now, life within a post isn't all spittin' polished. Take Lieutenant Penel, for instance. And the Major's niece. Penel's got a buckboard, and it's a fine day for a drive. Only he's having a little trouble at the gates. You heard me, Mr. Penel. The post is on alert. Nobody's leaving the grounds. Oh, now wait a minute, Coheal. You heard me. Sorry to spoil your outing, Miss Dandridge. Sorry, indeed. Because I wouldn't trust you to take me on a picnic last Sunday. Now you're hazing, Mr. Penel. You just drive right on through, Ross. If you don't, I will. You touch those reins and I'll slap you in the guardhouse. You wouldn't dare. Someone placing you under arrest, Miss Dandridge? It's Lieutenant Coheal, Captain. He suddenly decided that he can order me around. Sir, I was merely following orders. Have you interrupted the lady, Mr. Coheal? He certainly did. Now, I don't want to make a scene, Captain. But first, Lieutenant Coheal has made up his mind that Second Lieutenant Penel hasn't ranked enough to be seen in my company. Sir, if I could just explain... Now, if you're interrupting. Yes, sir. Any further complaint, Miss Dandridge? Complaint? Oh, I'm not complaining, Captain.  Sir, I have denied Mr. Penel permission to leave the post. And for what purpose did you wish to leave the post, Mr. Penel? Picnicking, sir. Picnicking? Miss Dandridge? Where? In St. Louis? No, sir, just up at the waterfall, sir. But I'm sorry... Never apologize, mister. It is a sign of weakness. Mr. Coheal, I see no reason why Mr. Penel should not go picnicking. Very good, sir. Thank you, Captain. But Miss Dandridge, Mr. Coheal was quite right to deny new permission to leave under the present emergency. If you will be so kind as to get out of the buckboard. Oh, but really? Your arm, ma'am. Thank you. Mr. Penel, you may proceed with your picnic. This way, Miss Dandridge. Pass, Lieutenant Penel. Yes, sir. Where'd you say you were holding your picnic? I'll tell you where. At Delmonico's in New York about two months from now, with Olivia, see? And I won't be wearing any blue suit, either, Bob. Get him! The major sent for me early that evening. He had made up his mind. I guess there's no other course to take, Nathan. Find those Cheyennes and push them back. Oh, by the way, here's the last report on Custer's outfit. Two hundred and twelve men, Nathan.  Sitting bull, preaching a holy war. I want you to take every precaution. These names. George Armstrong Custer. Tom Custer. Boston Custer. Callahoon Cook. Yes. I expect you knew most of them. I expect I did. Harrington. Keough. Miles Keough. Yes, Mac.  Oh, Nathan. Those flowers over there, Abby picked them. She thought maybe for Mary's green. Oh, I was figuring to stop by there now. Yes, I know. Never miss a day, do you? Oh, thank her for me, will you, Mac? The real pretty flowers. Nine years, Mac. Nine years last month. Abby or from Mary? She raised them herself. Well, only six more days to go, and your old Nathan will be out of the army. Haven't decided what I'll do yet. Somehow, I just can't picture myself back there on the banks of the Wabes, rocking on the front porch. Now, I've been thinking that maybe I'd push on west to the new settlements in California. Anyway, I'm taking the troops out in the morning and Cheyenne's around, so I pick up the patrols and drive them back north. My last mission, Mary. Hard to believe, isn't it? My last... I hope I'm not intruding, Captain. Well, I know, ma'am, not at all. I was just... I've watched you come out here so many times. I'm sorry I made such a fool of myself this morning. You made a fool out of a couple of young lieutenants? That's never against army regulations. Then I'm forgiven. You're forgiven. Thank you, Captain. Good night. Good night, Miss Dandridge. She's a nice girl, Mary. She reminds me of you. At dawn, the troop was mounted and ready to leave. Till Sergeant Quinn Cannon came up driving a wagon. Just what do you think you're up to, Quinn Cannon? Get out of that wagon. I was making your pardon, Captain Dodd, and it's orders. Major's orders. Orders? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'd best be seeing about them side saddles, too, sir. Side saddles? Are you trying to tell me... I'll be at Major Alshard's quarters. All right, all right. What blazes does this mean?  I can't hamper this patrol with a wagon, particularly this patrol. Nathan, I'm sending my wife and niece with you. What? There to go as far as Pseudrow's Wells and take the stages from there. This is an order. That I want to protest that order. I expected you would. There's pen and paper, so put it in writing. I intend to. I sat up half the night with this, Nathan. I can't keep Olivia here. She ain't Army. I'll say she ain't. For the following reason... You want some coffee? No. Yes. One, there is a party of Cheyenne raiding this territory. I have a feeling that every woman... How many ours are there in territory? Two. Oh. Here, here's your coffee. Poor Abby. She says everyone who thinks she's running away. And what about me? I'll be a bachelor all the time. And in conclusion, I respectfully protest the decision of my commanding officer to saddle this troop with his female relations. One Ellen relation. At this critical hour. Signed, Nathan, Brittle's and so forth. It sounds very good, Nathan. I'll be glad to file it. Oh, believe me, I...  Of course he will, dear. And how did marching through Georgia take the idea of old iron pants riding with him? Under protest, Abby. Written protest, Abby, of course. It's always my pleasure to escort old iron pants. Well, as long as you're going along with us... Abby, that is the dad-blamedest outfit I ever did see. Quinn Cannon's old britches. A little baggy, I suppose, Nathan. But they'll do for the trail. Where's Olivia? She ready? She's been ready for an hour. She's probably outside with one of your lieutenants.  Time we get out of here. I hope you approve of my uniform, Mr. Coheal. It's very becoming, ma'am. And I notice you're wearing a yellow ribbon. Well... Or a finel, huh? How do you know it isn't for you, mister? I'd be very happy if it were for me. Very happy indeed. Morning. Trooper Dandridge reporting, sir. Well, and a proper trooper too. And right pretty, don't you think, Mr. Coheal? I do indeed, sir. And a yellow ribbon, Miss Dandridge. Do you know what that means in the cavalry? A sweetheart. It does? Who's it for? Wife for you, captain, of course. For me, huh? I'll make these young bucks jealous yet. I've brought your mount, Olivia. May I help you? Thank you, Mr. Penel. I, uh, I hope you're wearing that yellow ribbon for me, ma'am. Why, who else would it be for? Hurry up, Aunt Abby. They'll be leading without us. Oh, we left the post. Just another routine mission. Folks waving goodbye, kids yelling, dogs barking. Only one thing in particular caught my eye. As we rode past the store, I saw Mr. Reinders, the subtler in the back of the stable. He was hitching up his buckboard. Some hours later on the trail. Sergeant Tyree reporting, sir. At ease, Tyree. Well, like you told me, sir, I took cover till Reinders left the post. I've been trailing them ever since. He went southeast, captain. About a mile below the painted pole. There's two men waiting for him in a wagon. You recognize them? No, sir. And it didn't seem prudent to inquire.  Then why did Mr. Reinders leave the post in the first place? He's a storekeeper, sir. That's right. Licensed to sell merchandise to folks all over this territory. Only the post was on alert, Mr. Tyree, so I ask you again. What do you suppose Mr. Reinders and two strangers were doing that far south? Well, sir, I reckon that ain't my department, sir. Take a point, Tyree. We'll probably pick them up on the next go-around. Romantic, isn't it, Mr. Andridge? Guidance, galey, fluttering, bronze, men, lustily singing, horses, prancing, and bunions aching. Must you always be so vulgar, Mr. Cahill? The cavalry doesn't go in for refinements, Mr. Andridge. Cavalry? This ridiculous business of dismounting and walking every hour or so. You might as well be in the infantry. We soon would be if we didn't ease these mounts. Why don't you ride in a wagon with Mrs. Olshar? No, thank you. And if you don't mind, I'd like permission to ride back along the line. Why? If you must know, I'd rather share the dust back there with Mr. Penel. Haven't you already thrown enough dust in Penel's eyes? Why don't you give him a chance? Mr. Cahill! Yes, sir? Relieve Mr. Penel with a rearguard. Yes, sir. Everything under control here, Miss? Thank you, Captain. Everything's just fine. An hour later, Tyree found something he wanted me to see. I told Cahill, Penel, and the bugler to tag along. Far off against the hills, a long, low cloud of dust was rising. Travel in the same direction we are, sir, toward Pseudrose Wells. Can you make them out, Sergeant? Looks like a wrap-o, sir. Field glasses, Mr. Penel. Yes, sir. They're moving the whole village, wagons, lodgings, and all.  They're a wrap-o-ho's, all right, heading the same way we are. Now, why would they be moving on Pseudrose Wells?  Well, I'd soon find out if... There's no use even thinking about it. We can't risk it with these women. A wrap-o-ho's? Yes, Mr. Cahill, and I don't like it. So we'll turn east, gentlemen. Give them a wide berth. But we'll lose half a day that way, sir. The ladies may miss the stage, sir. Would you rather that they miss their scalp, sir? Get back to the column, both of you. Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.  By late afternoon, we reached the canyon country. With any luck, we'd be at Pseudrose Wells by morning. Thought you didn't like the wagon, Mr. Andridge? You don't have to shout, Mr. Cahill. My aunt's trying to take a nap. Well, I've only got one thing to say to you. Why don't you take your hooks out of Ross Penel? He's got the makings of a good officer. You're not his guardian, nor mine, Mr. Cahill. Well, I'm telling you just the same. Ross is a spoiled, rich kid, and the army's his only chance. So if you can't take the army, leave him alone. Just before dusk, we reached the rim of a valley. And down below was a site that I liked, of which I hadn't seen in years. Why? Why, they're buffalo, sir. I admire your intelligence, Mr. Cahill. First time the herd's been this far south, since the summer of 68, that right, Quincannon? Correct, sir. It looks just like the good old days, sir. Buffalo meat and whiskey, 50 cents a gallon, sir. You ever see a buffalo, Mr. Penel? No, sir. Well, I doubt if the ladies have either. You may escort them as far as those rocks. The view might please them. Thank you, sir. And what's your thinking, Mr. Tyree?  Well, Kevin, if I was a young, hot blood like red shirt, anxious to show off before them shy and dog soldiers, I'd be walking in front of one of them council forests, and I'd tell them that I was the one that made the medicine that brought back a buffalo. I'd tell them how all those Indians should stick together now, quit quarreling, and drive out the rest of them Yankee soldiers. That's what I'd tell them, Kevin. So, of course, I'm just guessing, you understand? Yeah. Well, of course, now, I'm just guessing too, Sergeant, but if I was an Indian agent, maybe a licensed subtler with the name of Reinders, if I'd met up with a couple of men near a painted post who might be gun runners, I'm guessing I'd be mighty close to that council farm of red shirts ready to do a land office business in repeating rivals. How good's that mount of yours, Tyree? Best in the troops, sir. Make for the Paradise River. Pick up the rest of the patrol there, then proceed at your best pace to Pseudro's Wells. Have them hold the stage for the ladies. Yes, sir. And tell them that I've been delayed. If we kept moving all night, we'd reach Pseudro Wells by dawn. But just before daylight, we saw a strange glare in the horizon. That's no sunrise, Captain. That's a fire. It's the settlement, sir. Pseudro's Wells is over there.  Ladies to the rear, Quincanon. Yes, sir. First two sets of fours. Forward, you! Hold into Pseudro's Wells at top speed. But all that was left was a huddle of survivors and a pile of ashes. We'd come too late. For a moment, our stars will continue with act two of she wore a yellow ribbon. Now, here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood reporter, with the Lux movie news of the week. Reporting, John, that a Polynesian sarong has made another star. Not that pretty Deborah Padgett hasn't already proved herself a star, but personally, I think 20th Century Fox did her an extra favor when they cast her in Bird of Paradise with Jeff Chandler and Louis Jourdan. 17-year-old Deborah didn't climb the ladder of success. She practically flew up, but it's not surprising. She has actors aplenty on her family tree. I just wonder what her ancestors Baron de Steghe and Lord Padgett would say to that sarong. Deborah, in technicolor, makes one of the prettiest Polynesians I've ever seen. Louis Jourdan falls in love with her, but native taboos complicate their courtship. Just one bit of advice, girls. Bird of Paradise doesn't have a happy ending, so take along your handkerchiefs, you'll have a lovely cry. Does Deborah wear sarongs throughout the picture? That's right. And Deborah doesn't need Paris designs to look beautiful. The studio did make one important improvement on native washing methods. They took an eight-week supply of wonderful new lux with color freshener to Hawaii where the picture was filmed. It was so important in the technicolor shots to keep Deborah's bright Polynesian prints sharp and dramatic, they wouldn't risk any other way of washing. There's nothing in the world just like wonderful new lux with color freshener. Hollywood studios insist on it, and the stars themselves say it's more marvelous than ever. This remarkable new lux is ideal for white things.  Well, new lux with color freshener keeps them dazzling white as new. Prints have such zing and snap you can hardly believe your eyes. All colors stay bright and beautiful just the way you want them. Thanks for the tip, Libby. If new lux with color freshener does that for a sarong, think what it can do for your spring prints, your summer dresses, and blouses. Why don't you get a big box tomorrow? I'm sure you'll love it, just as Deborah Patchett and so many Hollywood stars do. Give your washables that nice new lux look. Now, here's Mr. Keely, our producer. Act II of She War a Yellow Riven, starring John Wayne as Captain Brittle's, Mel Pharrell as Lieutenant Cohill, and Mala Powers as Olivia. Among the survivors at Pseudrose Wells were seven men from the Paradise River Patrol under Corporal Quain. Quain had been badly wounded. A wrap-up, sir. They jumped us at sundown yesterday, sir. Yes. Well, your report can wait, Quain. Doctor, over here. I better give it to you while I can, sir. They had us ringed. At night, we got away. We made it to the relief point, sir, but you weren't there. Just Sergeant Tyree along. I wanted to be there, Corporal. We got here before midnight, and then they closed in. Thank you. A good, clear report, Corporal. Show up in your record when you come up with that extra stripe in two or three years. Thank you, sir. Who are they, Tyree? Cheyenne Dog Party. About 30 Rappaholes with them. They banded up under Redshire. Well, that blows the lid, doesn't it? How many dead here? Five, sir. More than poor Pseudrose, one other woman, two men. The children see it? No, sir. Found them hiding in the smokehouse. Tyree, I think it's about time I did retire. Sir, um, one of the dead is Trooper Smith. Smith? Wasn't for him, sir. There's a lot more of us being gone. Smith? I served under him for more than a year, sir. Well in his campaign. Oh, yes, I know. Mr. Cohill! Sir? Where are the women? They've rounded up the children, sir. Getting them quieted down, sir. Assign a burial party, Mr. Cohill. Then I'll want this column moving again within an hour. There's a storm coming up. I shall believe it in me, shall never die. I commend to your keeping, sir, the souls of John Pseudrose and his wife, Martha, Albert Bridges and his wife, Annie, and also the soul of Rome Clay, late Brigadier General, Confederate States Army, known to his comrades here as Trooper John Smith, United States Cavalry, a gallant soldier and a Christian gentleman. Amen. I've buried the dead and made ready for the journey back to Fort Stark. You will go to the rear, Miss Dandridge, where you belong. Yes, sir, I'll go. But I want you to know that I'm well aware that all of this is because of me. Because I wanted to see the West. Because I wasn't army enough to stay the winter. You're not quite army yet, Miss, or you'd know never to apologize. It's a sign of weakness. For what's happened, only the man who commands can be blamed. Press on me. Mission failure. Yeah, we sure missed the stage, Miss Dandridge. That's the word. Quain's doing fine. That's the word. Quain's doing fine. What are they talking about, Mr. Cohill? Corporal Quain. The doc says he'll be all right. Oh, I'm so glad. Why? He's just another dog-faced soldier in dirty shirt blue. What's he mean to you? Did you ever dance with him at the fort? Did you ever speak to him? No, of course you didn't. Quain's not a gentleman. I've been finding that some lieutenant's bars are no guarantee of a gentleman either. You're glad about Quain, sure. But only because it puts the happy ending to the story you'll take back east to your tea parties. Well, now you can tell him you've seen it all. A real Indian fight. A man with an arrow sticking on his chest. Why do you have to...? That should make your tour just about perfect. If you don't mind, Miss Dandridge? Yes. Mrs. Auschard is a rough time in that wagon, helping with Quain and all. Would you spell her for a while? Certainly, Captain. Thank you. Mr. Cohill, did anyone ever take down your britches and tan your hide? I know, sir. That is, yes, sir, my father, sir, with a strap. Well, I'm just old enough to be your father, bub. Now get out of here. Take a point. Make a fine, boisterous couple, Captain Doddard, with their barracks. When I want your opinion, Quincannon, I'll... Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Any time at all. Rain lit up that afternoon. In the dusk, I called a halt. We'd stop a while and rest. We needed it. All of us. I wouldn't go any further if I were you. Captain Brittle said we'd be here for two hours. I didn't hear him say anything about taking a walk. There's probably a hundred hostiles out there. You think that's a whip or will? Come on, Olivia. Let's go back. I can walk alone. Thank you. Olivia, please. The old man says don't ever apologize. It's a sign of weakness. But I'm sorry for everything I've said and done. Oh, honey, you know how I feel about you. Flint. Flint, if you'd only... All right, Cohill. Let's get her over with. Pull your blouse. You crazy, mister? Don't pull rank on me. You've been green-eyed ever since she put that yellow ribbon on. Button up that shirt, mister. Ross, please.  All right, mister. I'll accommodate you. No, no, no! Button your shirt, mister Pinal. I thought better of you.  What is this all about, mister Cohill? Sir, I must decline to answer. Respectfully. Mister Cohill, it is a bitter thing, indeed, to learn that an officer who has had nine years' experience in the cavalry, the officer to whom I am surrendering command of this troop in two more days, should have so little grasp of leadership as to allow himself to be chivvied into a go at fisticuffs while taps have barely sounded over a brave man's grave. God help this troop when I'm gone. Sir, it was my fault. You're at attention, mister Pinal. It was a misunderstanding, Captain. You'll oblige Miss Dandridge by getting back to troop area. Yes, sir. Mister Cohill, you will have the men build their squad fires higher. Make the fullest show of betting down here for the night. Then we're sneaking out, heading for the river. Is that clear, mister Cohill? Yes, sir. I'm sorry, Ross. Sorry, Flint. As usual, I had sent Sergeant Tyree to scout up ahead and as usual, his eyesight hadn't failed him. Oh, Stiles, sir. They're holed up in a ravine about three miles north of here. Only that ain't all. Well... They've got visitors, our old friend Reinders. Right smart at trading going on right now, repeating rifles. Mister Reinders, huh? Well, pass the word to Mr. Pinal. Three of us are going up to that ravine. The darkness helped us. We got to within maybe a hundred yards of the Indian encampment. They'd built a big council fire. There was Reinders and his friends bargaining with Redshirt over the rifles and the wagon. He keeps saying that $50 apiece is too much. Too much, huh? Tell that grandson of a horse thief that I know he's got the money. Because he stole it from the Paymasters' coat. Yo, Shiba. Tell him I know he killed him, too. That it's $50 or no rifle. We saw Redshirt raise his hand on a flash of knives. They dragged the white men still living and threw them on the fire. Join me in a chow of tobacco, Sergeant? No, sir. I don't chow and I don't play court. Chow and tobacco isn't nasty habit. It's been known to turn a man's stomach. Mr. Pinal? I'll take a chow if you're pleased, sir. Here, now let's go. You're still figuring on resigning, Mr. Pinal? No, sir. When we got back to the column, I called a meeting of the officers and sergeants. All present, sir. Any time between now and daylight, gentlemen, we can expect an attack. That means the case, the main column, is leaving here right now. We will leave a rear guard under one officer. Sir, I'd consider it a privilege. Thank you, Mr. Pinal. Your offer to volunteer will go on your record. If you still wish to make a record. Mr. Cohill, two squads will remain behind. You will be in command. I have the first and second, sir. The second squad has too many old married men. First and fifth, sir. You will cover our crossing and dig in. Yes, sir. Then pass the word and let's start moving. Lieutenant Pinal reporting, sir. The main column is safely across the river, all but you and Mr. Andrews, sir. Stand by. Mr. Cohill, as you know, this is the only crossing within 20 miles. So you've got to buy me some time. You've got to buy me a long day. Then we'll do it, sir. I know you will, Flint. Flint. It took you nine years to call me that, sir. And it was well worth waiting for. Well, we'll get you out of here, son. Just hang on. We'll get you out of this pocket by noon tomorrow. Mount your horse, Miss Dandridge. Flint, Flint, wait!  We haven't got all night. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. I'll be back, man. I'll be back. I promise you. Oh, what are you waiting for, Mr. Pinal? Escort the lady across the river. If you'll follow me. Ross. I'm sorry, Ross. But I guess that's how it is. You and Flint. Yeah, sure. Good luck, Flint. What can we tell you? Just thank heaven so many of you got safely back here to pose. It is my duty to report, Major Alshard. Mission of failure. No fiddle sticks. It was our fault. You did everything and more than that. I have never worn a coat of white wash yet, Abby, and I won't start now. I failed at Soudreau's. I failed to keep Reinder's rifles from the tribes, and I failed at everything. I leave the army a failure. Now stop it.  Blast it, Mac. Hasn't she told you I left Flint Coheal with two squads back at the Paradise? And a sound military move. So, with your permission, I'll start back. I'll have Coheal out of that pocket by noon tomorrow. No, Nathan. The troops can't leave till morning. Morning? They ought to pull out of here before midnight. I'd agree if you were leading them, but Panel will need all the daylight he can find. Panel? That babe in the wood? Forting a river against the swarm of hostiles with Winchester's? Nathan, aren't you forgetting something? You'll retire from the army tomorrow. Tomorrow is all I need. I can't leave Coheal facing those devils. It's no one-day mission. This could go on for weeks. All right, then. I'll volunteer as a civilian scout, interpreter, anything. And I thought you were fond of Coheal. Fond of him? Every time Coheal gave an order, men would turn around and look at you, wondering if he was doing the right thing. You want to ruin the boy? Oh, I know, Mac. Panel's got to run his chances, too. We ran him, Nathan. That's what we get paid for. Yeah, I... I guess you're right, Mac. I guess you're right. Well, with your permission, then, I'll quit the post tomorrow. Permission granted, Nathan. Where will you go, Captain? I'll go? I don't know, Miss. West, I guess. California, new settlements. Old soldiers, Miss Dandridge. Someday you'll learn how they hate to give up. Captain of a troop one day and every man's face turned toward you. You tenets jump when I growl, and now tomorrow I'll be glad if the blacksmith asks me to shoo a horse. Blast your eyes, Abby. If you start sniffling now, I'll... And as for you, young lady... I'm not crying. I... I'd like to stand up and cheer. At dawn the next morning, I reviewed the troops. My last review. They had a present for me. Watch and change. Solid silver brought in special. St. Louis. It's engraved on the back, sir. Captain brittle some sea troop. Last we forget. Last we forget. We had hoped to hold a dance in your honor, sir, but under the circumstances... Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you all.  Take your troop and proceed on your mission. Yes, sir. Good luck, sea troop. Good luck. They'll get Coo Hill out of there. But that's not enough, is it, Mac? Within a week those hostiles will be here on your doorstep. Then what? Well, I'll say goodbye. Oh, I left my other saddle in the cabin. Give it to Abby. It'll be easier on her, uh, disposition. Say goodbye to her for me, Mac. He'll do no such thing, Nathan Brittles. Goodbye is a word we don't use in the cavalry. Now come here. Yes, ma'am. Until our next post, dear. Thank you, Abby. Once out of sight of the post, I swung east toward the Paradise River. I had a plan. I had witnessed Reinder's murder, but I had seen more than that. Among the Indians around that council fire, I had seen an old man. Pony that walks. I had known him from years before. Yes, I had a plan. Mission before our stars return with Act 3 of She-Water Yellow Ribbon. I've chosen, as our special guest tonight, Hollywood-born Leslie Banning, who is building a very successful career as a freelance actress. You've made a picture recently at RKO, haven't you, Leslie? Well, yes, I have, Mr. Cayley. But I haven't even seen the rushes yet. I'll let you in on a secret. John Farrow, the director, told me you've done a splendid job. Well, that's good news, Mr. Cayley. You did better than my spy. And who was that? Jane Russell. She's my sister-in-law, you know. Oh, yes, of course. While Jane was working on Howard Hughes' production of His Kind of Woman with Robert Mitchum, I asked her to get some inside information, but she wouldn't talk. Perhaps you should have asked Jane to sing. You know, she plays a sultry nightclub singer in search of romance and, naturally, she finds it with Robert Mitchum in this action-packed drama. Glamour and sophistication become this new Jane. Practically swooned over the gorgeous clothes she wears in His Kind of Woman. 19 different outfits. And judging by appearances, you yourself can face any clothes competition with distinction. Thank you, Mr. Cayley. You know, one of the reasons it's so easy to keep clothes looking wonderful is new locks with color freshener. I've always loved locks, but this new locks is the most marvelous ever. They're wonderfully fresh, so alive, and colors. Well, they practically sparkle. Even my lovely slips and nighties stay so gorgeous-looking, I can hardly believe they've been washed at all. Jane and I both love it. A great many other Hollywood stars agree with you and Jane Russell. No other way of washing nice things leaves them fresher or brighter. Hollywood studios say new locks with color freshener is a washing miracle. This amazing new locks are bright, prince-brilliant and gay. All colors dramatically new-looking. Even delicate pastel slips and nighties renew their fragile beauty every time you lux them. If you haven't tried new locks with color freshener, you're in for a real thrill. Get a big box tomorrow. Use it for your washables to give them that nicest new lux look. Thank you for coming tonight, Leslie Banning. It's better pleasure, Mr. Kennedy. We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. The curtain rises on act three of She War a Yellow Ribbon starring John Wayne as Captain Brittle's, Mel Ferrer as Lieutenant Coe Hill, and Mala Powers as Olivia. It was backed with a troop by nightfall. An el to my surprise had affected the relief of Coe Hill's men without incident. And so far the Indians had failed to make a move. There's a reason they've held off, sir. We've scouted them all day. They're concentrating forces. How many, Mr. Coe Hill? Close to a thousand, sir. Arapahos, Kiowas, Comanches, and those Cheyenne dog soldiers. How much time have we got? What's your guess? No time at all, sir, because we've got to hit them first. I'm glad the major sent you, Captain. The men will feel a lot better about it now. You didn't send me, Mr. Coe Hill. I am not on duty. Then the orders haven't been changed. Orders are orders, sir. But for the next four hours, according to my brand new silver watch and chain, I am still an officer in the United States Gallery. Flint, if I gave you a written order, would you obey it? I don't need a written order, sir. Nevertheless, you're going to get it. It might come in handy in our court-martial. Sergeant Tyree? Yes, sir. I am ordering you to volunteer again. Yes, sir. You and me are going to ride out of here, Sergeant, just as soon as I write Mr. Coe Hill's orders. It's just a pencil, Flint. But I'm using all the official phrases. Yes, sir. You will remain here in your command and don't force any action until I return. But if I don't, then read this piece of paper for your orders. Put it in your pocket. I understand, sir. And now, Mr. Tyree, if you will find me a fresh horse, we'll take a little ride out toward those hills. Not that it's any of my business, sir, but may I ask where we're going? That's a foolish question, Sergeant. You know as well as I do. Yes, sir. To the Indian encampment. You aimin' to pow-wow with red shirt, Captain? I'm not that crazy. No, sir. But there is a chief who might listen to us. Pony that walks, ever hear of him? Yes, sir, but he's an old man. That makes two of us who've seen enough of war. Yes, sir. In case you don't know it, sir, that ain't a bird. Walk your horse, Sergeant. Right hand is a peace signal. Let's hope they'll see it. And just over that ridge, Captain. Yeah. Ever been scared, Mr. Tyree? Yes, sir. Up to and including right now. We reached the crest and rode past their guards. They swarmed in on every side, warriors in full paint, crazy for blood. We forced our way through to the council fire.  They fired an arrow at my feet. We come in peace. This red shirt knows. But he answers with an arrow before we can talk. I take his arrow from the ground. I break the arrow of red shirt. I spit on his arrow. I will speak with Pony that walks. Nathan, Nathan, I am Christian. Hallelujah. Old friend me. Long time, long time. I have come in peace, Pony that walks. Take salt, Nathan. Take salt. It was plain that the old Indian was tolerated in the council only because of his years. Red shirt was the leader of this army and nobody else. Red shirt, very angry. Kill, kill. Much blood. Nathan, old friend, smoke pipe. Nathan, smoke. Good. I smoke your pipe, but my heart is sad at what I see. Your young man painted for war. The medicine drum is talking. It is a bad thing. Many men will die. My young man, your young man, no good. We must stop this war. Young men do not listen to me. They listen to big medicine. Yellow hair cost her dead. Buffalo, come back. Great sign. Too late, Nathan. You come with me. We hunt buffalo together. Smoke many pipes. We are too old for war. Yes, we are too old for war, but old men should stop wars. Too late. Soon many squalls sing death songs. Many lodgers empty. You come with me. We hunt buffalo. Get drunk together. Hallelujah. No, friend, I must go. I go far away. You will go in peace, Nathan. I put Manitou around neck. No harm. Wash Keola. Wash Keola. Wash Keola. Pia's there. It's not enough, sergeant. I had hopes of coming to terms. Terms? With them? One more failure to add to my... Is there something wrong? No, nothing wrong. Just glanced to your left there. Kind of casual, like, sergeant. Yes, sir. There are ponies, huh? Hundreds of ponies in a gully.  But if something was to stampede those ponies... Stampede? Yes, sir. Back to camp, Mr. Tyree. On the double. Lieutenant Cohill reporting, sir. Troops ready to move, sir. Yes, sir. The column and single file leading months. We're to follow you, sir, proceeding with the utmost quiet. There's a creek at the near end of that gully. We'll stop there and form ranks. Meantime, sir. Meantime, Mr. Cohill, just pray that the moon stays behind those clouds. Troop, halt. Pass the word. Mr. Cohill, can you read the time by my brand new silver watch and chain? Uh, yes, sir. 12 minutes to midnight, sir. The gully lies straight ahead of us. On signal, we'll gallop through that draw and stampede the herd out the other end into their encampment. Questions, Mr. Cohill? No questions, sir. Mount and pass the word. Mount and pass the word. Mount and pass the word. Bugler? Sir? Sound the charge. Mr. Cohill? No casualties, sir. No casualties? No Indian war? No court-martial? You'll have a time rounding up those hostiles, Mr. Cohill, but they'll not get very far on foot. They come back to the post, sir? No, back to the reservation. Have your soldiers follow them all the way. Stay about a mile behind them. Walking hurts their pride and you're watching all the hurt at worst. Yes, sir. Do you read what time it is by my brand-new silver-watching chain? Two minutes past midnight, sir. Huh. I've been a... civilian for... two minutes. It's hard to believe. It's your army, Mr. Cohill. Good luck. Just said goodbye and rode away. Is that it, Mr. Cohill? Yes, major. We got the hostiles on the trail, sir, and returned here to report, sir. So Nathan's finished with the army, you see? Well, the army isn't finished with him. Who's your best writer, Mr. Cohill? My Sergeant Tyrese, sir. Then tell Sergeant Tyrese I want to see him right away. You're going to California, Mr. Tyrese. From a Yankee War Department by way of major old shop. I knew it. Dad blasted. I knew it. Where's my spectacles? Every time a man... is afraid. Look. Look what it says. It's my appointment, Chief of Scouts with a rank of Lieutenant Colonel. And will you look at those endorsements? Phil Sheridan, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Ulysses Simpson Grant, President of the United States of America. There's three aces for you, boy. Yes, sir. I kind of wished you'd been holding a full hand. Full hand? What do you mean, full hand? Oh. Well, it wouldn't have been bad. Let's get back, boy. Major, sir, he's coming up the steps now. Open the door, Quincanon. Yes, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, Lieutenant Colonel Brittle. Just to dance in your honor, sir, to welcome you back. And I might add, you kept us waiting for some time. Well, I'm sorry on late, Mac, but I didn't even know until... Don't apologize, Colonel. It's a mark of weakness. Well, proceed, Bandmaster. It's a request to make. Your arm, Nathan. Thank you, Abby. And, sir, sir... Yes, Mr. Cahill? You'll be surprised to know that Ms. Dandridge and I are going to be... Why, son, I knew it all the time. Everybody in the post knew it above the rank of a second lieutenant. Right, Mr. Panel? There'll come a time, sir, when I'll be a first lieutenant. Yeah? In 10 or 12 years. Will you stay for the dance, Colonel? Ms. Dandridge, I... I've got to make my report first. Colonel, wait. Here, please take these with you. Oh, I am obliged, ma'am. Well, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. Report. And your flowers. You gave him your flowers. I think they'll make someone else even happier, darling. His girl. So ends the story of Captain Brittle's and the troops he led. The dog-faced soldiers, the 50 cents a day professionals riding the outpost of the nation. From Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stockton. Men in dirty shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States. I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did. Now I know you'll want to meet our stars personally, so in just a moment, Mr. Keely will be back with them for a brief chat and to tell you about next week's show. But first, I'd like to give you my own experience with this wonderful new Lux with color freshener. I was so excited myself the first time I tried it, I could hardly believe my eyes. You know, here in Hollywood, we see so many wonderful things that when the stars themselves say it's the most marvelous thing that ever happened to their favorite Lux, you can be sure it's really sensational.   They stay whitest white time after time and my prints, they look so vivid and alive after a Lux bath, I think I must be dreaming. Just for fun, I've tried new Lux for practically all the colors in the rainbow and they just sparkle like new every time. Won't you try it? I'm sure you'll love it just as much as I do. Do me a favor, won't you? You'll be doing yourself one. Get a big box of new Lux tomorrow and give your washables that nice as new Lux look. Now, here's Mr. Keely with our stars. And here they are to receive your special thanks. John Wayne, Velfareur and Malapowers. John, we usually advise the young actresses appearing here to use Lux to help their careers. Now for the young actors, I suggest football. Well, it is true that I went from football to making pictures but my wife has always used Lux Flakes and there you have the complete story of my life. Well, John, I'm also an ardent fan of Lux Flakes but I hope that isn't the complete story of my life. Well, honey, you've got a long way to go and I'd say you're off to a flying start. And that comes from a man who knows. John, I think you're one actor who can truly say that the secret is hard work. Well, that's for sure. I understand that at one time there were nine different John Wayne pictures playing simultaneously in local theaters. Well, I like to be active, Mel, and I try to see that all the pictures are filled with the same. For instance, at RKO I just finished the Edmund Granger production of The Flying Leathernecks. You can guess what that's all about. We're soon leaving for Ireland to do a film with John Ford. Why don't you stay with us at RKO and do another picture? What have you been doing? I suppose, John, you're talking about Mel Ferrer's wonderful direction of Faith Domherg in Vendetta. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Producing, acting, directing. Now you know the secret of John Wayne's success. Hard work. Speaking of hard work, Bill, what are you doing here next week? Mel, we've really selected an exceptional cast for next week's play, and we'll present them in Metro Golden Mayor's electrifying drama, where we have three great stars. Walter Pigeon, Peter Lawford, Janet Lee. You won't want to miss this gripping story combined with a tender romance. It sounds wonderful. Good night. Good night. Good night and all our thanks. Here's Ella Reigns, one of Hollywood's loveliest young stars, own tip on complexion care. I never skip my luck soap facials a single day, she says. They're so quick and easy. I just cream the rich luxe and lather well into my skin. Rinse with warm water, then a quick splash of stimulating cold. I pat to dry with a soft towel. Now my skin feels so satin, smooth and soft. Try this simple care Ella Reigns recommends. It's so easy to be luxe-lovely. Luxe soap has active lather, you know, that really makes skin lovelier. That's why 9 out of 10 screen stars use fragrant white luxe-toilet soap regularly. River Brothers Company, the makers of Luxe Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday evening when the Luxe Radio Theatre presents the Red Danube starring Walter Pigeon, Peter Loughard and Janet Lee. This is William Keely saying good night to you from Hollywood. Powers appeared through the courtesy of RKO, producers of Payment on Demand starring Betty Davis and Barry Sullivan. Heard in our cast tonight were Barton Yarborough as Tyree, John Stone as the major, George Nice as Penel, and Wally Mayer as Quinn Cannon. And, Sandra Rogers, Norman Field, Dan Riss, Paul Dubov and Eddie Marr. Our play was adapted by S.H. Barnett. The original story was by James Warner Bella. Our music was directed by Rudy Schrager. This is your announcer, John Milton Kennedy reminding you to join us again next Monday night to hear Walter Pigeon, Peter Loughard and Janet Lee in the Red Danube. Stay tuned for my friend Irma which follows over these same stations. CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force, you are about to embark upon the Great Crusade. The eyes of the world are upon you. Flatch, London, Eisenhower's headquarters announces Allies land in France. Bulletin, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, June 6 AP. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters announced today that Allied troops began landing on the northern coast of France this morning, strongly supported by naval and air forces. Heavy fighting is taking place between the Germans and invasion forces on the Normandy Peninsula, about 31 miles southwest of La Havre. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. This day has set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.


That was me. Why, you need something like this? Oh boy. I've got, I've got the one that, I've got the uh... No, it's that one. No worries. I don't like that. I don't like it. I don't like it. I quit using it. Oh, that's a beaut. Here we are at the foot and sun. It's been nice enough to let us do a meet up here with a bunch. I got a bunch of people here. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They're raising their hands up. I got an outlaw here. He's got something funky going on. I love it though. Wouldn't you say? Just love it. Flair's here. Rob's here. Got the free range truck in here. I just kind of get in that truck. It's so old. Look at this. Look at this. This is one that outlaw fixed up. It's a beaut. Old C-10. This could be yours. We're going to do a giveaway on this. More details. Just got that old fashioned fitting. Okay. Here we go. All the lights are off now. And the day is done. The meet up went amazing. Thank you to all the people that came out here. And said hi to us out here at the foot and sun. We got one other thing I want to show you guys. It's pretty crazy. Kind of a coincidental deal here. Good day, boys. Good day. What's up? I got to show you guys something. The first boat I ever got. Actually, it was the first fiberglass boat. It was a red and black skater. He was sitting right there. And you know, you don't recognize that boat, guys? That's it. That's the whole bread. That's it. This right here. This is wild because I remember me and my dad came out here. I was looking for a boat. We were looking for a boat. And the boat was sitting right here. And it was red and black. See ya. The boat was sitting right here. It was red and black. And now old red has taken its place. Old red's already spoken for. Gentlemen, that's got it. It's going to come pick it up. Got her all fixed up. Had a little steering bracket issue. Got that all fixed. Ready to go. But it was just kind of cool. Kind of cool to see the whole thing come full circle. Now we're going to load this up here. Thanks for the fun it's on. Appreciate ya. Thank you. Going fishing. I like it. I thought that was my truck for a second. Where are you, Gary? Where are you? There you are. Hiding in the shadows. All right, we are back at the MTB house right now. Me, Outlaw, and Matt. We're about to head out to East Texas. We're going to meet Rob. We're trying to avoid the storms. So that's why we're heading out east. We're going to be fishing out there the next couple of days. This isn't going to quite be a full, full tear because of the weather. We're going to have to come back just for a few days. And we've got to get Outlaw back and all that. But Outlaw's never got a big, big bass like an oak show. So we're hoping to get him on a big and see what's happening around this full moon that's coming around the corner. Let's see if we can get settled in and ET. And then we're going to go fishing in the morning. So you definitely want to stay tuned for that. Yeah. Your peeps. They're just going to be rocking that and all the holla in the middle of nowhere. Nothing. It's not supposed to be like that. No. No it's not. It's fine right out. The other one's still on. Don't worry about that. We hit a little turbulence going down the Dallas Highway. That motor's not supposed to be like that. That's why you got these little clippies. But apparently they didn't clip too good. That was a full turn there boys. Okay. Okay. Always check your clippies. It just wouldn't be a road trip tear without an old Bucky's trip. So it's one of those days where you just can't wait to get nestled in the hotel, get your rods rigged up and get ready for the morning bite. Okay, how does the hotel look? Does it look nice? Is it okay? You know what a regency is, right? You think there's bed bugs or is it okay? This is not... You gotta turn it right here, man. Right here. See, this ain't that bad, dude. Look at it. At least all the lights... Only two lights are burnt out. Where's the highest symbol? There's a basketball hoop out here. Look at these at McDonald's. This place is dope. I don't care what y'all say. Oh my goodness. Oh, we're on the AT tear floor. Sure. Out on the tear. Parking can get a little rough. We thought it was like a Hyatt Regency. Turns out it's an AT Regency. We're going to try to get this thing in here. Then we're going to get to bed. He fit his... I got you. You know what I'm saying? Do you want to do that or do you want it? Because I mean, I think... Try to bump it over, you mean? That's probably good, eh? Okay. That's a better idea. Did it. Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached the morning hour on the tear. Oh. There's Rob's camera right there. And we have... Bunker TV with us. I'm wondering if... Well, we're going to do the Sonic. Food options are low here. He's never eaten out of Sonic since 1984. There's many reasons why. He'll tell you his reasons on this channel. So being outlaw, we're going to split up. We're going to go to one lake. And Rob and Matt are going to go to another lake. We're going to try to tag team this region and see what is going on out here. See if we can get it done. We got a lot of cloud cover. There could be a moving bait by it. We just don't really know. But we're going to go find out. And it's time for me to part ways with the Efficient Freaks and go figure this thing out. And I will see you on the next episode. Hopefully with a big bass in my hand.


This 10th year of Daily Tech News Show is made possible by its listeners.  On this episode of DTNS, Qualcomm's headphone chip can use Wi-Fi to improve your audio quality and extend your range. Plus, Amazon's generative AI tool is letting those advertisers pretty up their product shots. And why is the PS5 Slim requiring you to have an internet connection to turn on your Blu-ray drive? Why? We'll tell you. This is the Daily Tech News Show for Wednesday, October 25, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Eye of Vibi Holder. I'm Sarah Lane. Whoa. From Salt Lake City. I'm Scott Johnson. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. I feel like your studio was named by Philip K. Dick, somehow. I don't know why. Whoever was who suggested this in our chat, it was a last minute change. And I thank you. This is fun. Let's do it again tomorrow. Excellent. All right. Thanks, everybody. We'll see. Oh, wait, no, we have the technical stuff. Sorry. I was got way ahead of my hour. Let's start with the quick hits. Here we go. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman sources pass along a tip that Apple is redesigning the Apple TV app for TVOS and could unveil the new look as early as this December. Apple TV would be the single app for all of your TV and movies that are rented or purchased or streamed from Apple. It would also add a left side navigation for video categories. And the separate movies and TV shows app on TVOS would be removed along with video sections on other mobile Apple apps. Now, big news today, especially if you pay for Apple TV plus, Apple raise those prices. Apple TV plus service, Apple news, Apple arcade and Apple one bundles all went up in the US. Apple TV plus goes from $6.99 per month to 9.99 per month. The new prices take effect immediately for all new subscribers and existing subscribers will be notified when the new prices do kick in for them as well because they will. All right. We got mostly good earnings. Microsoft's all about cloud. Azure revenue had been slowing down for the past two years. It had been growing, but growing slower every quarter. That changed this last quarter as it accelerated growing at 29%. Now, Azure is the bulk of the intelligent cloud division, but it's not all of it. And the intelligent cloud division saw its overall revenue grow 19%. You may be tempted to think that is because of Microsoft's partnership with open AI because Microsoft talks a lot about how it believes AI is the future of its Azure growth, but it's not yet the present source of it. Open AI and AI related stuff contributed 3% to cloud growth, though Azure's open AI service did grow from 11,000 customers last quarter to 18,000. So it's growing. It's just not the big contributor that it's going to be in Microsoft's opinion. Microsoft also reported growth across the board. No division saw a decline this time. That includes Xbox and Windows OEM. After four straight quarters of single-digit growth, Alphabet just eat out two digits. Congrats. Alphabet raised revenue 11%. That rise came down mostly to ad revenue, particularly from YouTube, which is not what investors wanted to see because YouTube always kind of does well. They know Google can sell ads. They wanted to sell a lot more cloud and cloud services. While cloud revenue grew 22% swinging into profitability, it did miss expectations by about $20 million. Still, YouTube was a bright spot with ad revenue up 12% with YouTube shorts now delivering 70 billion daily views. That is really, I don't know, kudos to you, YouTube, up from 50 billion at the beginning of the year. Mark my words. YouTube will be TV in five years if it keeps going like this. Snap grew revenue. Snap. Yeah, snap. Snap did well. First time in two quarters at grew revenue, beating expectations. Everybody thought they were going to decline again. Snapchat's daily active users rose 12% on the year to $406 million, and total time spent watching on Snapchat rose 200% on the year. However, the company continued to report net losses, and that is almost entirely due to the fact that it is winding down its augmented reality enterprise business, which was costly. One of TikTok's biggest advantages is its huge music catalog. So it makes sense to lean into that in real life. TikTok in the mix is a concert set for December 10th in Mesa, Arizona, with some big names. Cardi B, Niall Haran, Anita, and Charlie Puth. I hope I said them all right. We'll headline the show along with some artists from TikTok Elevate, the company's program for emerging musicians, kind of like a sound cloud for TikTok. TikToks will be sold on... Tickets will be sold on TikTok. Maybe they'll be called TikToks. I don't know yet, but it won't be Ticketmaster.  And of course, you can watch a live stream on TikTok as well, because that's what TikTok does. All right. Right around the time we were doing the show yesterday, Qualcomm was announcing new chips. So let's talk about those. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the new mobile chip set. This announcement went about, as you would expect, performance increases, battery life increases. The one thing that is new is it can support multimodal, generative AI devices on device. I mean, that's not entirely new, but it's really good at it now. Qualcomm claims stable diffusion can generate an image in less than a second on device. So you never have to send your data into the cloud. It also has Meta's Lama 2 LLM, so it can make use of personal data while keeping it private. You know, look at your calendar, your emails, etc. Again, without having to share that data with anybody. Also includes Wi-Fi 7 support, upgrades for Dolby HDR, support for Unreal Engine 5.2, a lot of other photography and video type improvements. Qualcomm claims it is 30% better performing, 20% more power efficient than the previous version, and mobile devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will appear soon. Qualcomm says in the coming weeks, so you won't have to wait on that one. On the PC side of things, Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite platform is built on a 4nm process that it claims can outperform both Intel Core i7 processors and AMD Ryzen 9s. It also claims it has faster peak multi-thread performance than Apple's M2. None of these claims have been tested by independent sources yet, so this is, you know, you're either going to believe Qualcomm or you're not. But the X Elite supports Snapdragon CMOS, which makes it easier to share across Android and Windows devices running on Snapdragon processors. Snapdragon X Elite will ship in PCs mid-2024, about six months. The most interesting one to me was Qualcomm's S7 and S7 Pro platforms. These are for headphones and earbuds. They included something called the Expanded Personal Area Network, or XPAN, which can use Wi-Fi to improve audio. In fact, it can deliver 96 kHz lossless, actually even go above while maintaining battery life. So it's not killing your battery and delivering you lossless just by using Wi-Fi. The S7 Pro can also use Wi-Fi to extend your range. So you walk out of Bluetooth range, but if you still got Wi-Fi, keep the signal going. XPAN pairs Wi-Fi credentials when you pair Bluetooth, so it's not complicated to get the credentials authorized on your network, make that part seamless. Scott, we talked about this a little bit on TMS, but that sounds pretty good, right? Yeah, I think it sounds all right. I mean, my biggest, one of my chief complaints about the way earbuds work now, and this is a variety of brands, is I don't, you know, I can tell when they're not as good as a pair of headphones that are meant for lossless work, usually those is great. The one thing they really go into detail on that I could find anyway was whether or not this is going to be as seamless as it sounds. So if I'm in a really great Wi-Fi environment, a nice, you know, home just covered in Wi-Fi, great network. But then I'm like, all right, I'm going for a run. I never take these earbuds out. They're still in. And I go run outside where I've gotten a Wi-Fi. Do I even have to worry about it? Does the music just drop down a few KPBS or something? Does it just, is it a completely unnoticeable process for me? Like I have questions like that, but for the most part, I think this kind of technology sounds awesome. And I think people would welcome it, especially if it's not going to hit my battery life, which is usually an issue. Yeah, I agreed. That's the battery life not taking a hit potentially was what piqued my interest as well. You know, there's a lot of stuff when it comes to lossless audio. And I'm just not the biggest audio file on the planet. In fact, most of what I listen to is spoken word podcasts. Maybe there's some music involved. Spatial audio, I think is real fun. It took me a while to like get my head around, oh, okay, this is pretty cool, which you can get out and about depending on, you know, the track that you're listening to, whether it's music or podcasts or both. But yeah, anything that improves audio in a setting where like you said, Scott, sure, if you're at home and everything's dialed in and you're good to go. But what about that whole sort of seamless and then I leave and then I come back and you know, how would that connection? Yeah, we won't see any products with the S seven or the S seven pro for a few months. So we won't really be able to try it. If I if I had to predict and I don't but I'm gonna anyway, I'm going to say, occasionally, you're going to hear a dropout as it transfers over, especially because this is a new protocol. But it so it may not be 100% seamless. But I'm going to guess they've got it worked out well enough that it's not just going to drop. It may just be a little stutter or something. And maybe not even every time. Yeah, they probably buffer it pretty good. I have one other tiny prediction to make about these chips. And it's actually the snap jag and eight gen three mobile chip set that I wanted to say this about completely didn't think of this before it had just hit me. I believe that will be the switch to processor. Ah, they they already the switch is already an arm based thing. It would not surprise me at all. And I think that sounds like some really beefy specs for where Nintendo would be headed for what they want to do next. So I'm not saying, you know, I'm not going to pay money for this bet, but I'll I'm going to say it today and we'll follow up later. I think that that's what's going to be in whatever the switch to get announced as and worth worth mentioning is that you are going to have to have a device with a Snapdragon processor in it in order to use this new Wi-Fi headphone thing. So this is this is not going to happen on Apple devices. Apple's got its own thing. It might come out with something that does a similar thing. They've been developing stuff that's pretty close to it. But this is only going to be in Qualcomm, Snapdragon based devices, most likely Android devices or possibly a Nintendo switch. Maybe you can use these headphones with that. I don't know. Well, Amazon announced that is beta testing AI image generation tools for its advertisers, which would offer an easy or easier way for those advertisers to create backgrounds or scenes around whatever it is they're hoping to sell. The company says the new feature is designed to remove creative barriers and enable brands to produce lifestyle imagery that helps improve their ads performance. Essentially, this is meant to help products stand out since most product shots, if you look, if you notice are just the product on a white background. Amazon says that choosing a lifestyle scene. So in their examples, there were a lot of pumpkins can lead to 4% higher click through rates. Amazon is not surprisingly marketing this as a tool for the little guy. It's, for example, a smaller brand without an agency and a bunch of tech expertise in house. The Verge also notes that Amazon's AI has some of the same issues other models do. Items in the scene weren't always to scale and in one of their demos with the toaster, if you look at the fork, which nobody is but the Verge, but if you look at the fork, it's got an odd number of times at an odd number of angles.  So Amazon has already been using generative AI to help sellers write product listings that are designed to sell. CEO Andy Jassy said on the company's most recent earnings call that every single team at Amazon is exploring and working with generative AI. Addie in quote, it is going to be at the heart of what we do. It is a significant investment and focus for us. End quote. All right. So Scott, we all buy things on Amazon. Does AI disrupt this for the better? I mean, you could kind of go like, eh, it's just for advertisers.  Yeah. It's starting to go the direction. A lot of AI stuff lately. We're starting to see kind of rubber meets the road practicality uses starting to happen. And I was talking to an artist the other day who does comic book stuff. I won't say his name because people might know him. And I don't know if I'm supposed to say this or not. But one of the workflow things that's happening in that world is background generation. So what you have is maybe a tight deadline and a creator will make characters in the foreground, let's say Spider-Man. And they're still drawing all of that, coloring all that, inking all of that. That's still kind of the same process. But then they're like, look, what takes the longest time is the two weeks it's going to take me to make New York City look like New York City behind Spider-Man. I'm going to use generative AI to do this. And it is saving them tons of time. It's being trained on their own art. So their art inspires what goes in the background. So it feels like it was done by the same artist. I still think some people look at it and think it's kind of icky. But that's like this. It's rubber meets the road productivity. And I'm still a little on the fence about how I feel about it. But it makes sense to me. If you're a small maker of charging cables and Amazon is the place to sell them, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of a very nicely choreographed, composed image of your cables being connected to the two things that matter instead of just this horrible cut out PNG thing you sent from Shenzhen in the middle of the night. That was the thought that I had too. It's like maybe your cable is really pretty awesome. And you're excited and you want people to discover it and buy it and tell their friends and make lots of sales. But you're not really an art studio of any kind. You don't necessarily have anybody, well, you don't have anybody in house to do that. And you don't want to pay for somebody out of house to do that as well. This seems like a great, I mean, for Amazon, maybe not every company that sells a lot of wares, but for Amazon, a good way to stand out for the rest. This also slightly reminds me of, well, just because I happen to be looking for apartments right now. So, you know, I'm on Craig's list all the time.  Like I get it. Like I know the difference, but I also, you know, it helps kind of my own creativity be like, okay, so here's kind of how things look in here. I think Amazon and certainly third party sellers and advertisers all benefit from that. Yeah, there's still just one tiny piece of it. And we don't have time to go through it today. It's a whole nother topic. But there's this piece of me that's like, well, how are we vetting it though? How do we know that cable is looks as good as it's now being portrayed? Well, yeah, what are the guardrails on this? Because I can tell your product shot doesn't get to change. So it's a very limited use case thing. And I'm sure there are other filters and limitations on what it was trained on about what you can put in the background. I'm sure you can't put disturbing images in the background and stuff like that. But I'm curious what those edge cases are going to be because they're going to they're going to show up. Somebody's going to try something and put it out there. It's also going to raise the floor, right? Like when when everybody's product shots look pretty, then nobody's product shots look pretty. Yeah. And then people who really do product shots out on the beach are actually faking or people will think they're faking it. And they spend a lot of money at the beach and they're going to have to raise raise their game of what you can do with with reality, which they will. And then yeah, that it won't be even it's going to get weird, but I'm excited to see how it goes. Well, if you want to get weird, head to our discord because we're all weird in there and having great conversations. You can join them if you're not already in there already by linking a Patreon account at patreon.com slash D T N S the PlayStation five slim we've talked about it previously on D T N S comes in two versions. There's the one that has a disc drive so you can play your games on disc. And there's the other that does not come with the drive, but you can buy it separately and add it later because the drive is modular. It's the same model. Just one has the drive and the other one doesn't. Now Sony hasn't given an exact launch date for the new versions of the PS five, but boxes have begun shipping to retail in advance of a launch, which is coming sometime in November. And there's something interesting on that box call of duty news site Charlie Intel got hold of photos of one box. It was a modern warfare bundle version of the PS five slim. It was a PS five slim that comes with a disc drive. And on that box, somebody noticed a note that says internet connection required to pair disc drive and PS five console on setup. Sony has not yet commented on this issue. So Sarah, why would Sony do this? Well, Tom, I'm glad you asked video games chronicle has a good explanation of why this might happen. Xbox and PlayStation both have a daughter board in the disc drive that pairs with the console's motherboard. Now, if you swap disc drives between consoles, they won't work because of this. The stops users from modifying and then replacing drives in order to circumvent copyright protections. With the new PS five slim, the drive is modular and making it easy to remove and add. So the setup connection might be necessary to preserve that pairing. I mean, to me, this is, uh, well, this is 100% a security thing. This is them doing that. I think that this explanation is correct. They're trying to stop, you know, hacking and copyright stuff and all that makes sense. Everybody does it. They all do it. The real problem really only comes in in the fact that you have a lot of people not near enough to slow the wave of digital distribution, mind you, but a fair number of people who love their physical discs and they want them that way. And that's all they want. And if they could do this entirely off the internet, off the net, like they could with their Gamecube or whatever, then they would. And they just will see this as a, um, an obstacle that is not necessary. And they're going to, it's going to bug people. It already is bugging people. It's all, any one of my timelines are talking about today is why would Sony do this? Why would Sony do this? And I think the reasons are obvious, but if you are really sold on the idea that I want as little internet interactivity as possible when it comes to my gaming life, then this just seems like another, you know, another one of these things that makes you get online. And I don't know who those people are. I'm not one of those people. I don't mind it. I think it's fine. But I understand why people are frustrated with this when they just want their disc and they just want to play. Well, yes. Although I firmly put this in the category of if you didn't know this was happening, you wouldn't have a problem with it in like 99.5% of the cases, right? Because most people are connecting to the internet immediately when they set up a PS5 and this is going to happen fast in the background and you won't even know it. So I, I think there's a lot more ratio of people being upset by the fact of this than there are people being upset because they're going to run into it. But yeah, if you're setting up in a rural area with, with unreliable or no internet, this is, this is going to be a problem. You're going to have to make sure you set it up ahead of time. It's not going to be a lot of people, but it's going to be some. And someday Sony might turn off that server. And that's, that's the other side of this, is people worrying about the historical preservation in the future. The good news on that is despite our, you know, urge to be cynical, there's good precedent for these companies turning off this sort of stuff to help preservation. Sony updated firmware for the PS4 to make sure that it still worked with a dead backup battery. The backup battery was meant to, to, to be an anti piracy measure. And yet later on, they got, they got rid of that. They said, Oh yeah, we don't want that battery dying to stop you from using old PS4s. And Microsoft updated the Xbox series X firmware so that online compatibility checks weren't needed for a lot of older discs. In fact, the vast majority of older discs. So yes, this could cause a problem Sunday. If Sony doesn't push a firmware update, but there's precedent for firmware updates to get pushed when people complain about it. My recommendation would be rush out while they're still available. If you still need to get a PS5 or an RE have one and get one of the ones with the built in drive, there are two models out there in the original configuration. The advantages of the slim are obviously it's smaller. There's this modularness to that drive. And it also has a larger hard drive. But in terms of like processing power, GPU, everything else, they are the same sort of across the board. So you're not missing out by getting the older one. If, if your concern is that strong on the side of not having a disk drive reach out to the internet when you want to use it. That being said, there are a lot of other times the PlayStation five and the series X and any other modern hardware is going to ask you for internet access.  So playing games needing to download an update. Yeah, many of those day one patches. They're a thing. So I think Tom is right that it's there. It's being made a little bit of a mountain out of a molehill. In this case, what is the bigger story here? We buried the headline. The biggest bundle sell for them this year with the slim will be the modern warfare three bundle. And that's a Microsoft product now. So I just wanted to say how weird that is. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. It's a very odd thing to say out loud. But there it is. It is as of now a Microsoft product that is being bundled in with Sony, even though the deal was signed before Microsoft owned Activision Blizzard King. King always gets left off. And they make the most money. It's so funny. It's the cash cow. Well, speaking of concept cars, which we weren't, but let's do it.  Toyota's luxury brand, Lexus, showed off a pair of interesting EV concepts, concepts being sort of the keyword here. The LFZC concept is actually designed to enter production in 2024. Next year, Target Market Launch 2026. Not all concept cars have timelines like that and includes some bells and whistles, looks like a Batmobile, but also can use the steering wheel to race games. Obviously, you would not be driving while doing this, but it would be basically a place to sit for a racing game simulation that feels pretty, you know, like you're actually racing. The other model, the LFZL is what Lexus describes as a flagship BEV, being for battery EV concept with a vision of the electrified future. Details are slim, because that didn't make a lot of sense. Besides an interactive reality in motion mode, where in theory, and this one is kind of interesting, drivers could point to objects or places of interest during a journey, wouldn't always have to be the driver. It could be somebody that's in the car as well. And then the car's display could offer results along with voice guidance, letting the car enhance the connection between drivers and riders and their surroundings. So for example, say you and I, Scott, are going on a road trip, you're in the passenger seat and you say, I love that windmill. What's up? Maybe the car would give us more information. I like it. What's that? Dad, what's that? Yeah. Where are we? Are we there yet? The car is going to handle that for you someday. Yeah, I like the idea of the kids get answers. Are we there yet? Literally the car can go, no, we're not there yet, and I'll turn this car around if you don't quit asking me or whatever you wanted to say. I'm in. This is great. I think the most believable part of this concept car, which concept cars are generally not believable, is it's using essentially a D-pad for shifting and stuff to the left of that game pad or to the left of that yoke in there. Like, yes, obviously in a world where people have grown up using game controllers, we should change cars to work like game controllers. It'll be seamless for most people. Yeah. This is a beautiful concept, by the way. It's beautiful. I'll just say that. Forget about whether it ever happens. It won't. Yeah, it won't. All those things never happen, but I think those are always pretty, though. Well, the LFCC is set for some sort of production next year. So, you know, some of the stuff might become reality. Most of it is probably going to be just how it looks cool on the outside. Yeah, but it'll be. It'll be fun to see what shows up in here. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it'll probably end up looking like a Civic, but... Well, Civics look like spaceships now, too. A Corolla. Sorry. No, that's true. They always do. They eventually get there. It's just that if you get a car's concept in the 90s, we're finally driving what those really wild ones look like. I forget that my Civic is seven years old. They don't look like that anymore. Oh, I passed a Civic the other day. I was like, whoa, what did that car? Oh, it's a Civic. Cool. Wow. Haven't been to the dealership in a while. All right. Let's check out the mailbag. What's in it? Well, we got a couple good notes from people who message us on Patreon. Just a reminder that you can do that if you're a patron. R.W. Nash chimed in on our conversation yesterday about where to post in the new social media landscape because we have so many options. R.W. says, micro.blog is great. It already supports Activity Pub. I follow the DTNS Mastered on Feed There. If you spring for the premium micro.blog version, it'll give you an RSS feed for your MP3s as well. Totally great community as two. Then also from our conversation yesterday, Martin chimed in about the idea of artists being able to poison their images to fool LLMs, basically not letting their work be used without their permission. Martin says, the poison image story is making me want to see an image generator entirely trained on poisoned images. We could get some really cool surreal art from it. Oh, I'm with you on that one, Martin. There was a Boing Boing story today about training a music bot on music made by music bots. The same kind of idea. This concept of the snake eating itself with AI stuff is interesting because you will get some really gnarly results over time and it feels like we see that in some image generators already. Some stuff is looking a little funky. It's because a lot of it is being trained or retrained or an additional training on itself. Exactly. Or on other AI art that it doesn't know is AI art. And I think if you do too much of that, that's how you get three eyes at one arm. That's all you got.  There's a whole big long conversation on TikTok on our Daily Tech News Show TikTok about this. Most people cheering it on, but there's a few people against it too. So you might want to go check out that conversation as well. Excellent. Well, Scott Johnson, you were excellent as always. Let folks know where to keep up with your latest. Well, I thought today I would let people know because there's a lot of really nice folks from this community hopped on over to support this car game I made, Dungeon Murder over at DungeonMurder.com. And right now they're just kind of a placeholder site for it. But it's a great place to go to bookmark when these are going to be available to everybody.  And I couldn't be happier. It took forever. Production is a long process and never goes as fast as you want. But now that it's here, it feels crazy. So anyway, keep track of all that stuff over at DungeonMurder.com. Reach out to me directly if you have any questions and huge thanks to everybody from the DTNS community that helped drive that thing home. Fantastic. And thank you patrons for being with us.  So stick around for the extended show, Good Day Internet. Google's been pushing out a way to tell where an image you found came from. Have you seen that shark in a hurricane before? Yes. In fact, you have. And now Google Search can tell you exactly where it originated and by whom. Stick around. You can catch our show live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern, 200 UTC. And you can find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. We're back tomorrow talking about TwitchCon announcements because there were many with Trisha Hershberger and she would know.
