Okay guys, so we're all done. I do have some leftover parts, but I'm good with that So something you may or may not know about me is I love collecting sugar skull skeleton gothic themed ephemera bits that is really my thing not necessarily Halloween bits. I know I showed a few times these sticker packs And using stickers from them. I didn't buy them because they were Halloween themed In fact, I will never use the Halloween word on here. I bought them though because I was really attracted to The more non-traditional Halloween images of like the bugs and stuff like that Then there were some cool skulls and stuff in here and this one has More skulls and flowers and I like that part of it These are Stamped image rubber stamped images from some stamps. I own These are by a designer named Daniel Torente And if I can remember to and these are still available and I can remember to link the site where you can get these I'll do it in the video description if I forget somebody remind me. Okay, I Have these sugar skull decals, which I don't remember where I got Probably Amazon I Don't know but I've got a lot of them I have this sheet of Skull stickers. I probably bought a few Halloween's ago. Obviously. I've used quite a few of them We use some of them up in this journal, which is great These you saw me using some of these Including these here these are from Digi download for my friend Mike deacons at him He doesn't have an Etsy shop his website and then I printed them on sticker paper These are a foil transfer of some dancing skeletons to be honest with you. I don't know why I have these I know where I got them from. I actually think I'm going to purge them. So those are going to go away The rest of these I'm keeping you know, I'm easy up now the this you saw me use a few of these and you saw me use one actual label That So this is from a wine brand called curious beasts They make a few different kinds of wine and their wine labels have sugar skulls and skeletons on them Now I don't really drink anymore very much But when I do have the occasion to buy wine if I see This kind of wine around I will buy it for the label on the bottle Which you can soak in some water and get off but also frequently their wine will come in This little like paper wrapper The wine bottle will come wrapped in this paper wrapper, which of course you see I've saved and Has the same images on it as the label. I just showed you they do have one other kind And this is from their Cabernet Have this purple one. So I'm going to keep you keeping these I do like them and I do use them I did email the company and ask them. Can I just get labels? They'll probably say no, but it's worth a shot. I mean, you never know. They could say yes I'd be surprised, but they could say yes Anyway, when I ran across all of these when I was cleaning and sorting ephemera and The black and white images like this one I really thought that all of it just needed to be in a Journal by itself. I liked the idea of doing it on a background of distressed black paper That was really a lot of fun It just is more collage than and writing than anything else Everything that I wrote is stuff that just came to me as I was creating the page Some of it may not make sense to some of you, but it's just what came to me And so I'll do a little flip through here while we're chatting. I Really enjoyed making it very much and I will probably be doing another one. I probably need to collect some more bits I don't know where this image came from. I must have printed it from somewhere I do have a lot of old my daughter would probably call them vintage Digital images from you know used to buy Dover books back in the day and come with a CD around full of images This may be from one of those. I don't remember And if I can figure out where it is I need to print myself some more because I don't have any more More Daniel Terrenty images these sort of vellum stickers in the background. I think those were from Wish They were sort of a mathematical themed set of stickers. I don't know where the owl came from got no idea probably a magazine But they it was a lot of fun to create I really enjoyed myself very much More than I thought I was going to to be honest with you I thought you know, this is just gonna be a wild crazy weird journal To do but you know what I just turned on this is one of the skeletons from the wine label I just turned on YouTube and listen to some YouTube while I was creating the pages with no plan and I Just let it be pretty organic and just come as I felt it needed to and Yeah, it's really for me the way to do these art journal little art journal pages And I love that it was just a small little art journal that I could get it done pretty quickly And I can't wait to do the next one and I have leftover black distressed paper. So yay Anyway, if you take something like this idea and you do something with it I'd love to see what you do. Please tag me or in your posts on social media or Share the link to your YouTube video if you do YouTube Don't forget to enjoy your art have some fun dig out those Weird strange collection of parts you might have in the dark recesses of your art room and create something with them and share and let us all in on the inspiration and Above all go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it Don't forget to like share and subscribe and I'll see you in the next video. Bye guys


Alrighty, I was at Canada's Wonderland today, July 27th, filming all day, getting you some awesome tips and tricks on how to have a good visit, despite the massive crowds at Canada's Wonderland. I'm gonna provide you with everything I know. I was looking everywhere, trying to figure out an absolute game plan for anyone that is experiencing long lines at the food and beverage places, because that seems to be the area of concern for most people, but the giveaway! So, winner number one is Spida. You are active in our Discord server as well in the Canada's Wonderland general. You are winner number one, Nini. You are winner number two, so you have access to a Squishmallow, so definitely reach out on Instagram, by the way, for any of these winners. And Nicole W., you are the winner of our merch giveaway. So all three of you, if you could reach out to us on amusement insiders on Instagram, plural, and message us that proof that these are your YouTube accounts. I know two of you from our Discord server, so reach out to us on Instagram with proof that this is you and the prize is yours. And thank you so much for sharing our giveaway video and getting the message out there about Canada's Wonderland being an extremely safe place. So nonetheless, let's get right into the video. Canada's Wonderland right now has a couple of rides that are closed, one of them mainly on the screen right now, Sledgehammer. They are currently getting it ready to open. Canada's Wonderland has what one would assume like any other place in North America right now, a staffing issue. A lot of people were hesitant to go back to work and it seems to be resolving itself. You can definitely tell that there are a lot more employees at Canada's Wonderland now and they're starting to get the rides ready to open. I fully expect Sledgehammer to open shortly in the next week, Max. I expect Wonder Mountain's Guardian to open up in the next two weeks, Max. And Riptide has opened and that was recently closed and I definitely do expect Boo Blasters to open up as well in the next two weeks, maybe even sooner. So definitely expect those rides to open. Other good news, Winterfest and Helwing Haunt should be taking place. They have started hiring and Winterfest people have been called back. So definitely a good sign, a very good sign. I'm super excited about the Winterfest but I'm very biased there. But nonetheless, you are at Canada's Wonderland and you are experiencing long lines. I'll start with the rides. You are at Wonderland between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. and the ride lineups are long. My biggest piece of advice is the Yukon Stryker single rider line. We tested it out today. We literally put it to the test. That line was full, okay? Extremely full, full as full could possibly be and the person we put in the single rider line got through it in about 15 minutes, Max. So much better than an hour and a half wait in the regular queue. So if you don't mind splitting up from your group, not all, you also could get in with the group of two or three possibly in the single rider line but it's not guaranteed. But definitely as a single rider or even if you just want to go as a group to get on the ride, if you don't mind being split up, the single rider line is the way to go. If that's not the case, there are flat rides like Shockwave that have a shorter line. There's roller coasters like Dragonfire that don't have a full line. But the best time to go is show up right at 10 a.m., okay? Show up right at 10 a.m., 10 a.m. to like 12 p.m. Most rides are walk-ons. So get there right at 10 a.m., maybe even 9 a.m. So you're like, got your, which direction you want to go and if you go towards Yukon and Behemoth instead of Leviathan like everyone else, you will get on like everything in the Yukon Behemoth area so quickly you'll be shocked. So definitely hit up that side of the park and then quickly scoot on over before 12 p.m. over to the Leviathan area and get as much done over there as possible. And then the crowds do start to die after 5 p.m. as well. So definitely if that's the case, plan your day like that. That's my best advice I can give you. On top of that, reservation times are no longer a thing. I'm sure you all got the email. So you just make a reservation for the day and you can show up any time. That was technically always the case. It didn't actually show your reservation time on the system when you went to check into the park. But yeah, nonetheless, as you can see on the screen that you just saw, the food lineups and the drink lineups are absolutely insane at Canada's Wonderland. It is not the staff's fault. So if any of you are watching this video, please do not scream at the staff because you waited an hour for your food or drinks. It's not their fault. It is literally a staffing issue like every restaurant and business is facing in North America and Wonderland is definitely improving each visit I go. In fact, you are most likely probably going to the only restaurant you see in your vicinity instead of shopping around for other restaurants. In fact, in this video, all the footage in this video is from today, July 27th at Canada's Wonderland, no editing, no date, manufacturing, I haven't put footage from a different date. There are restaurants that had zero lines at the park, IE right here. Sometimes this restaurant is a full queue and it's gonna take you an hour to get your food at that restaurant, but other times in the day, it's not full. Everyone at Wonderland seems to want to eat around the same time and that's one of the biggest problems that Wonderland faces in terms of getting food out. I also do expect fully that Wonderland should be receiving a restaurant in 2022 as well. Another piece of advice, bring water bottles. A reusable water bottle, they have water bottle refill stations and it is needed in this new extreme heat that we are facing and it saves you a lot of money. Water bottle prices at Canada's Wonderland, everyone knows it's a bit pricey. It's like $6.23 after tax. So definitely bring your own water bottle, Wonderland lets you bring in a reusable water bottle and you can fill them up at the stations. They're really great for families if you need to save a few bucks and you don't wanna buy the six dollar water bottle, I don't think anyone does, but if you don't wanna buy them, definitely Wonderland is allowing you to bring in your own water bottles and they got water bottle refill stations. Here's another example. This was filmed around 12 p.m. and the drink stations closed and the mess hall isn't too busy of a line, people going there for both drinks and stuff, but then we came back around one to two p.m. and the drink station was open up and the lines are a lot shorter. The mess hall serves poutines right there on the left. There are places in Canada's Wonderland that you do not have to wait an hour or 30 minutes even to get your food. You can get it right away, just shop around. If you also wanna adventure out, if you happen to not have kids, the Kidsill does have shorter lines for food. I personally don't like going into Kidsill to get food because it's for families and I don't like getting in the way of them. There are places in the adult park for us to get our food that don't have long lines. I just wanted to show that.  Again, not their fault. They're limited to 50% capacity for tables. Their tables are stored beside behemoth. I'm sure you all have seen it riding behemoth. There's lots of tables there. But there are places you can eat. In fact, I'm gonna show you two in this video. There's this really, really, really well shaded area, super, super cute next to the chair swing ride, Swings of the Century and near Time Warp. It's located right here. Definitely worth checking out. I think it's absolutely amazing in a bit of a hidden gem. I'm sorry, I'm like kind of seeing my foot at shake right now and I'm just like, wait, why is it shaking? I'll figure that out after this video. But nonetheless, super cool. Definitely wanted to give people this suggestion. There's also another cool place by Backlot Cafe across from Flight Deck. Lots of open seating there as well. So if you're looking for somewhere to eat, these two places are definitely places you should check out if seating isn't available elsewhere. There are places to sit. Unfortunately, there's no restaurants absolutely near them or close to them, but if you want to walk and explore, there's definitely areas for you to sit as a group. So definitely check this out. As you can see, we're the only ones sitting and eating here. And yeah, I just wanted to give you quick tips and updates on food and beverage because that seems to be a lot of people's negative experience at Canada's Wonderland and there's definitely ways around it. So one, everyone eats at the same time, so maybe work that into your plan.  You just got to maybe walk a little bit. And three, there are, again, ways around the long lines. You just got to look for the restaurant, shop around, don't maybe go to the first restaurant you see. There's Pizza Pizza in Kidsville. If you don't want to wait in the long lines at Pizza Pizza, and yeah. Again, just remember that Wonderland has had a staffing issue like every business. And be patient, please. If I could ask any of my subscribers that are watching this video as frustrating as it may get, and I am not pointing my finger at you, there are times where I'm definitely in a drive-through line and I get frustrated because you're sitting there waiting, taking a step back and just reminding ourselves that these are human beings working at these restaurants and at this park. These are ride-offs that are just doing their job, restaurant people just doing their job, and things will get better. Staffing is getting better in Canada and Ontario. Just give it some time. Anyways, thanks so much. Hopefully this video helped you. If you have any other questions, comments or concerns that I did not answer in this video, comment down below and I will try and answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks so much for watching, guys, and thanks so much for partaking in our giveaway. Have a good one, bye.

token drug abuse. Young people have been urged to shun drug abuse and channel their energies into productive ventures that will improve their lives. This is just as the government and parents have been urged to do more to save God their children from falling prey. These advice was given on the sidelines of a public speaking competition organized by School of Alicans Lagos on the theme drug abuse and its effect on the youth. Details in this report. This public speaking competition is meant to serve as a testimonial to the importance and power of effective oral communication and commitment to elevating the art of public speaking to mainstream levels in the Nigerian society. Nine government-owned schools are locking horns on the topical issue drug abuse a trend which is eaten deeply into the fabrics of the society. The competitors have indeed done their homework and research on the menace. Unsurprisingly they speak passionately and eloquently. Through their speeches they share stories of young people who have been affected by this coach with an appeal for all hands to be on deck in fighting the harrowing trend. The din of the school shares insight on the theme of discussion and why it is important to catch them young. Other speakers have worked of advice for parents, the society and even what the government should be doing to save the young people from going astray. So for us we notice that a lot of the people that we teach public speaking to could probably have done better if they had learned public speaking much earlier in life rather than learning public speaking as adults apart from politics, apart from the state of the economy. The issue of drug abuse is a prevalent subject matter. It's there, it's present and we're talking about it. We have a lot to do. You all come here to say today charity begins at home. We need to ensure that we locate the right discipline in life. The choice that you make will determine your future.

Vicks presents the matinee theater production of Rebecca the makers of Vicks vapor up Vicks Vaternall Vicks cough drops and Vicks inhaler brings you the matinee theater today while Victor Jory is vacationing for one week. We bring you the great play that so many of you have been asking for Daphne de Morier's Rebecca featuring Gertrude Warner as the second Mrs. de Winter Blanche Yerke as Mrs. Danvers and Martin Gable as Maxine. Now here's a good thing to remember when you catch a cold. The best known home remedy for relieving miseries of colds is Vicks vapor up. And now Rebecca. When Maxine asked me to marry him I could not believe that anything so incredibly beautiful was happening to me. He had been staying at a hotel on the Riviera where I'd been acting as companion to an American woman. We'd spent a lot of time together but actually I knew very little about Maxine beyond the fact that he'd been married to one of the most fabulous beauties of England. Rebecca de Winter who had died about a year before. He never said I love you. He only said will you marry me but I married him gladly and happily and he brought me home to his greatest state, Manderley, a shy awkward girl in a stockinette dress. I was considered an intruder at Manderley. Mrs. Danvers the housekeeper made that very apparent from the moment I arrived. Mrs. Danvers, I hope we can be friends. Friends, madam. I came here when the first Mrs. de Winter was a bride. I'm afraid I find it a little hard to visualize someone else here and her place. I'm afraid everyone who comes to Manderley will find that a little hard. You see, she planned everything in this house and outside it, the gardens, lawns, furnishings. Everywhere you look there's something to say, Rebecca. I started my married life with those words ringing in my ears, nervous, frightened, wanting desperately to become a part of Manderley and Maxine's life but never knowing quite how. In the weeks that fun had a shadow cast across them, the shadow of Rebecca, came back on the knoll. They seemed a hideous nightmare that I lived in the daytime and dreamt about at night. Oh, Maxine darling, look at those azaleas, they're beautiful. I'd never believe they'd grow this close to the beach. No one believed they would. Rebecca had them planted. You're going for a walk, madam. Yeah, throw these coat around your shoulders. It's too long for me. Yes, it was Rebecca's. She was very tall, you know, tall and stately. She walked like a queen. Mr. DeWinter never used to be able to take his eyes off her. Maxine, I passed a cottage away on the beach today. The door was unlocked, so I went in. You went in? You went in? It wasn't locked. I don't want you ever to go near that cottage again. That was Rebecca's cottage. You've no business there. Beautiful here in the morning room, isn't it? Mrs. DeWinter picked out every ornament for herself. I remember she brought back that cupid on the mantle from Paris as a present for Mr. DeWinter. I remember the card. It just said, to Maxine, for now and for ever, from Rebecca. You're tossing terribly in your sleep. You kept crying, no, no. Were you having a bad dream? Yes, I was having a terrible dream. Well, Maxine, put your arms around me. Hold me close. All right, darling. Oh, Maxine, you know what I wish. What? I wish I was 35 years old and that I had a black satin dress with ropes of pearls to wear with it that went clear down to my waist. Why on earth should you wish that? Because then I should be very wise and very sophisticated, and I would know all the right things to say and do. Darling, you know why I married you. Why, Maxine? Because you're not 35 dressed in pearls and black satin. Because you're not sophisticated or too wise. Because you're young and sweet, with a very lost look to you, and because you're completely honest. Maxine, you do love me, don't you? No. You, you aren't so... So you married me. Darling, what's got into you anyhow? Have I said anything or done anything to make you think I was sorry? Well... No, it's, it's just that I know what a wonderful mistress of memory the First Mrs. de Winter was, and I know that I could never measure up to her. In the name of heaven, why do you keep eternally clapping on Rebecca?  I can't bear to think about her or talk about her. Yes, Maxine. Of course I understand. I'm very sorry.  About a week later I was in the morning room talking to Maxine's overseer and old friend, Frank Crawley. I had picked up the small cupid Rebecca had given Maxine and was fingering it nervously. Frank, what actually happened to the First Mrs. de Winter? Rebecca? Well, she went sailing one night when the day was a little rough, her boat capsized and sank. She was washed overboard. Couldn't anyone get to her? Nobody knew that she'd gone. She often went out alone like that. How long afterwards did they find her? About two months near Edgecone, 40 miles up Channel. Maxine went up to identify her. Frank, would you tell me just one thing? Very honestly? I'll try. Was Rebecca very beautiful? Yes.  Frank! Frank! I've broken the cupid. Here. Help me pick up the pieces. Quick before Mrs. Danvers comes in.  Watch out. You don't cut yourself. Here. Here. We'll put them in an envelope. Maybe no one will miss the cupid. Oh, I don't think it matters very much. It does. It does. It was Rebecca's. Here. Have we got all the pieces? I'll put the envelope in back of these books. I hope no one misses it. Mrs. de Winter, this is your house. It doesn't matter if you break something. Oh, no, Frank. This is Rebecca's house. It matters very much. You'll see. It matters very much. Why do you do such strange things? Why the devil did you hide the pieces of that ornament in an envelope for Mrs. Danvers to find like an in-between maid? Because I'm like an in-between maid, I guess. I'm all wrong here, somehow. Perhaps you are. Perhaps I did a very selfish thing in marrying you. I'm not much of a companion to you, am I? Maxine, please don't say those things. I'm very happy. No, you're not. You're thinner. You've lost weight. No, you're not. You're thinner. You've lost your color. I haven't had much chance to amuse you. You should have someone closer to your own age. Our marriage isn't much of a success, is it? Do you want me to go away, Maxine? I don't know what I want. Maxine, I'm sorry about the cubit. I know Rebecca gave it to you. I thought you would be able to adjust yourself to Mandalay. But it just hasn't happened, has it? I walked from the room, fighting back the tears. I was sure then there was no hope that it had always been Rebecca for Maxine, and that it always would be. That afternoon I went up to the west wing to her room. It was quite dark because a low fog had rolled in from the sea. I stood close to the door, glancing all about that shadowy room, my heart pounding. It looked as though she had left it for an instant before. There were flowers on the dressing table and by the bed. A dressing-gum lay on a chair and a pair of bedroom slippers beneath it. I began to feel a little faint, and then... I saw you come up. I've been ready to show this room to you every day, you had only to ask. It's a lovely room, isn't it? Yes. Lovely. I keep the golden coverlet on the bed always. It was her favorite. I did everything for her, you know. No one can take care of me but you, Danny, she used to say. You'd never think that she had been gone now for so long, would you? You can feel her in every room in the house, can't you? Yes. Sometimes when I walk along the corridor, I fancy I hear her just behind me. That quick, light footsteps sometimes I think I hear the sweep of her dress coming down to dinner. Why do you hate me so? What have I ever done that you should hate me so? You tried to take her place. You. You thought you could make him happy. He is happy. Oh, he is happy. You know he isn't. I wanted to look at his eyes. He's looked like that ever since she died. She's the real Mrs. DeWinter, not you. She's still Mistress here. It's you that the shadow and the ghost. It's you that's forgotten and not wanted and pushed aside. Why don't you leave Mandalay to her? Why don't you go? He doesn't want you. He wants to be alone in a house with her.  Let me show you how easy it would be. Come over to the window. Look, look down there. Why don't you jump? It wouldn't hurt. It's a quick, kind way. You're not happy. Mr. DeWinter doesn't love you. There's not much for you to live for, is there? Why don't you jump now and have done with it? Then you won't be unhappy anymore. It is true. He doesn't want me. It's always been Rebecca. Rebecca! Rebecca! Go on. Don't be afraid. I wouldn't be unhappy anymore. I could forget Rebecca. I wouldn't have to think about Rebecca anymore. Rebecca! Rebecca! Rebecca! Rebecca! explosion! What happened, Mrs. Denvers? They're shooting up rockets. There must be a ship gone ashore in the bay. Mrs. Denvers, Mrs. Denvers, the ship's gone ashore. They've been eating you downstairs. Would you like to stay here for a time, madam? No, Mrs. Denvers. I'm going downstairs. I've seen all I intend to see of Rebecca's womb. In just a moment, we'll bring you the second act of Rebecca. Of all the winter day worries that a mother bears, one of the peskiest is the problem of children's coals. But fortunately, most mothers agree on one thing. The modern way they use to relieve distress of children's coals is to rub Vick's vapor rub on the throat, chest and back. Now, for such an overwhelming preference, there must be a well-proved reason. And there is. You see, the moment you rub on vapor rub, its relief-giving action goes right to work to help relieve congestion and irritation in the upper breathing passages, the coughing spasms, sore throat, and that muscular soreness or tightness. And results are so wonderful because vapor rub penetrates, penetrates into the cold congested upper bronchial tubes with its special soothing medicinal vapors, and at the same time, it stimulates, stimulates chest and back surfaces like a comforting, warming poultice. This penetrating, stimulating action of vapor rub keeps on working for hours to bring such grand relief. Now, mother, benefit by the personal experience of so many millions of modern mothers and see for yourself how vapor rub works. Remember, only vapor rub gives you this special penetrating, stimulating action. The best-known home remedy for relieving miseries of coals, vicks, vapor rub. And now, the second act of Rebecca. When the divers went down to help get the distress ship off the rocks, they found a small boat at the brim of the coal, and they saw what appeared to be a body through one of the portholes. They started work immediately to bring the boat to the surface. Our story of Rebecca continues. I stood by the window, waiting for Maxim to come up from the beach. And somehow, I had changed in the last hours. I was a child any longer, and I wasn't afraid of Rebecca. It was as though she and I had at last met face-to-face in that bedroom. She had done her best to destroy me and failed. At long last, Maxim came virally into the library. Hello, darling. Did you hear? They think they found Rebecca's boat. I know. Darling, don't feel that you have to go through this alone. Let me share it with you. Oh, my dear. I must send you away from Mandalay. There was only a slim chance for happiness for us in the beginning, but I took the chance and gambled on it. Well, we lost the gamble, my sweet. I'd try harder. I think I could be a better wife now. I think I could run Mandalay. Don't you understand, they found Rebecca's boat. Maxim, she's dead. She's loving you so desperately. Loving her? What did you say? Oh, my dear, I know you still love her, Walter. Are you mad? I hated Rebecca. She was vicious and rotten to the core. We never had one day of happiness together. Maxim. So that's what's been between us. I thought you'd regret in marrying me because I was so much older than you. Oh, I wish we'd been able to talk to one another before. What does it matter? Let us be grateful that we do know now. Don't you realize what I'm saying to you? I killed Rebecca. You know, when I married her, people told me I was the luckiest man in the world. Lucky. I found out all about her five days after we were married. She told me about herself. She stood there laughing and told me things I would never repeat to a living soul. She knew I'd never divorce her a week after our marriage. She knew I was too proud for that. Of course. I'm not going to tell you about those years. The lies, the deceit. Some weekends, she spent in London to summon the little beach cottage. She had a cousin named Jack Favel. A rudder, if there ever was one. He began to come here. One night, I suddenly couldn't stand it any longer. I took my revolver and I went down to the cottage. I thought Favel would be with her there, but she was alone. She looked strange. I told her the bargain was finished. We had to get a divorce. She said that was impossible. She said, I'm going to have a baby, Max. And neither you nor anyone else in the world will ever be able to prove he isn't yours. He'll grow up here at Manderley, bearing your name. And I'll be the perfect mother. As I've been the perfect wife. Then she started to laugh. When I shot her, she was laughing still. Oh, Max, Max. I carried her out to the boat. It was very dark. There was no moon. I laid her body in the cabin. I got the boat underway. Then I took a spike and drove three holes into the planks and the bottom boards. I climbed into the dinghy and pulled away. Suddenly, the boat keeled over and went down. That was all. I've never been able to forget her smile of the way she looked at me before she died. She knew she would win in the end. Sometimes I even think she wanted me to kill her. Oh, my darling. What a terrible thing for you. What a heartbreaking thing. You see, that's why it's too late for you and me. No, it's not too late. Rebecca is dead. She can't speak. She can't harm you anymore. Her body just integrates in water. They won't find the bullet. They won't know she was shot. Nobody knows, but you and I would happen that night. Rebecca will win. You'll see. Even now, Rebecca will win. The inquest was held a few days later. I thought I'd stay in the car and wait for Maxim. But after an hour or so waiting, I had to go in. I sat down just by the door in the back of the room. James Tebb, the boat builder from the village, was standing up now, and the coroner was questioning him. She was a rich fishing boat originally. Had the boat ever been known to capsize before? No, she was a stout sea-worthy boat and could stand a lot of wind. And she didn't capsize this time. Why do you say that? When that boat was pulled up, I examined every corner of her. She had sunk on sandy bottom. There wasn't the mark of a rock on her. But there were three holes in her planking. Well... That boat never capsized at all. She was scuttled. The heat came up from the floor in slow, flickering ways. I felt deathly ill. And then Frank Crawley helped me outside. He brought me home and went back to the inquest. I fell into an uneasy sleep in the morning room. When I woke, I heard voices from the library. Maxim's and his strangers. I went slowly in. No, you're not welcome in this house for very long. I came to congratulate you on the result of the inquest.  Oh, hello, dear. Maxim, the inquest. What happened? Well, I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting the second Mrs. de Winter. This is Mr. Favela, Rebecca's cousin. How do you do? The verdict was suicide. Suicide? Rebecca no more committed suicide than I did. Let me read you both a note I received from Rebecca the day she died. Dear Jack, I tried to ring you at the London flat but could get no answer. I'm going to Mandalay right away. I've something to tell you and I want to see you as soon as possible. I'll wait for you at the cottage on the beach, Rebecca. Does that sound to you like the note of someone who was contemplating suicide that night? Why didn't you give that note to the jury this afternoon? Why, Max, I bear no malice, don't you? In fact, I have a proposition for you. If I had a settlement of, say, two or three thousand pounds a year for life, I could jog along quite comfortably and I'd never trouble you again. I swear I wouldn't. Darling, please phone Colonel Julian. Ask him to come here at once. All right, Max. You wouldn't dare call in the police. I've got enough evidence in this note to hang. Call Colonel Julian, darling, and ask him to come at once. I tell you, Colonel Julian, Rebecca never killed herself. Rebecca was murdered. And there's the murderer standing there with that rotten, superior smile on his face. Mr. Maxim de Winter Mandalay.  If you expect to make any sort of point at all, you'll have to control yourself. Now, you say you were going to marry your cousin Rebecca had she lived and that you often had secret meetings with her at the cottage on the beach. Can you prove that? Yes, I can prove it. Max, will you ask Mrs. Danvers to come here? Of course. Mrs. Danvers, Colonel Julian would like to ask you some questions. Yes, sir. And Mrs. Danvers, were you aware of the relationship between Mr. Favel and the late Mrs. de Winter? I don't think I understand. Oh, you can speak freely, Danny. Rebecca was in love with me, wasn't she? She was not. What? She wasn't in love with you or any other man. I've known her to come back here and rock with laughter at a lot of you. Mrs. Danvers, we're trying to find the motive for Mrs. de Winter's suicide. Can you think of any reason why she should have taken her life? No, sir. I cannot. Of course you can't. Rebecca was murdered. Mrs. Danvers, have you any idea how she spent that last day in London? Yes, sir. I have her appointment book here. Here it is, sir. June 4th. Good. June 4th. Hair, 10.30. 12 o'clock lunch at the club. 12.45. Dr. Baker. Who is Dr. Baker? A woman specialist in London. Well, phone him at once. Mrs. de Winter, would you mind? No, of course not. I'll put through the call at once. I went slowly across the library. My heart pounding. My hands like ice. Everything seemed to be coming to an end. Dr. Baker would tell them Rebecca was going to have a baby and there would be no question of suicide. Yes, Rebecca would win, after all. There's your call, Colonel Julian. Thank you. Hello? Hello, Dr. Baker. Please forgive this very unorthodox call at such an hour. I'm Colonel Julian. Chief Constable for the Countess's Court. Goodbye, sir. All right. Here is what Dr. Baker had to say. Mrs. de Winter consulted him first in May. He took some X-ray photographs. When she went again on June 4th, he told her that she was suffering from a malignant disease which was quite incurable. That's what she was going to tell you that night at the cottage for Vell. There's the motive for her suicide. Mr. de Winter, madam, I wish to give notice. I would like to leave Mandalay tonight. Just as you wish, Mrs. Danvers. There's nothing to keep me here any longer. There's nothing left of Rebecca. I used to think she still moved about these rooms. But now she seems completely gone.  Yes, Mrs. Danvers. I am a mistress here now. That funny little lost look I love so much is gone. Of course. I'm not a child any longer. This is my home and you are my husband.  It's time there were children at Mandalay and laughter and contentment and peace. These things will happen now? Yes, these things will happen. We're home now with the rest of our lives before us. I love you, Mrs. de Winter. Mr. de Winter, I love you forever. In just a moment, an important message from Mr. Gable.  In many cases it has made the use of substitutes necessary. But this is not true of that famous family stand-by, Vicks Vapo Rub. There are no wartime substitutes in the Vapo Rub you buy. Although some of the countries that supplied us with aromatics and medications were taken by the enemy, we found new sources. As a result, there are no wartime substitutes in Vapo Rub. It is the same fine, effective Vapo Rub. The same high quality you enjoyed before the war. The best-known home remedy for relieving miseries of colds. Time-tested, home-proved Vicks Vapo Rub. Next week after a well-end vacation, Victor Joy will be back in one of the finest plays that Gene Halloway has ever written. A love story of the South and of music that has become part of the heartbeat of America. Beautiful dreamer, the romance of Stephen Collins Foster. Our production today was based on the famous Daphne de Morier's story of Rebecca and was adapted by Gene Halloway and directed by Richard Sanville. Daphne de Morier's play, Rebecca, presented by Victor Paine Jennings is one of the newest hits on Broadway featuring Bramble Fletcher, Florence Reed and Diana Barrymore. Music for this series is under the direction of Mark Warnold. Be sure to be with us next week when Vicks, the makers of Vicks Vapo Rub, Vicks Vatronol, Vicks Coffdrops and Vicks Inhaler brings you the matinee theater production of Beautiful Dreamer, starring Victor Joy.

Don't talk to each other. In three, two. Daily Tech News Show is powered by you. To find out more, head to dailytechnewshow.com slash support. This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, October 6, 2017. I'm Justin Robert Young from the L.A. Podcast 2017. And the beautiful Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles joining me is an esteemed panel. First, we have Jeff Kanata from We Have Concerns. Jeff, how are you doing? I'm doing very, very well. If you can hear me over the crowd, it's a little crazy here at the L.A. Podcast Fest. But I'm really excited to be back on DTNS. Thanks, guys. How long has it been since you've been on the show? I don't know, but it's been a while. I think I haven't been on since my child was born, and he's a year. So, wow. Well, it is an episode of Illustrious Returns. Let's get to somebody who hasn't been on in six months because he's been traveling the globe. It is Derrick Kitchener back five. Hey, thanks.  I don't know where Tom, I remember there was being Tom and a Len would illustrate. Tom has been briefly sent to a farm upstate. Very upstate across the pod. And the other voice that you hear is, of course, Allison Sheridan of No Silicast. How are you doing, Allison? I'm doing good. I'm doing fine. I get to be on a lot. Yeah. Maybe I'm only here when people are sick. No, no. You are definitely on a far more than these guys. Now, today we have all united to take over for the fact that both Tom and Sarah are not here, but we will do our best in their stead. Of course, big shout out to our producer, Roger Chang, who is also helping things out. But first, let's start with a few tech things you should know. The AOL Instant Messenger will be discontinued December 15th after 20 years of operation and a note is posted on the AIM Help page. Who is going to the AIM Help page? Save services will end on December 15th and all data will be deleted. Users with an ataim.com email address will, however, still be able to receive email. Mr. Funk02 was my first AIM. You could get in there a little earlier and get that first funk. Listen, there is a reason why. I know too, I have no other reason other than there was already a Mr. Funk02. My father is Mr. Funk02. Exactly. Any fun AIM memories? That's my first thing I was going to say was I'm just really happy it's dying, so Ray Moosehead can just go away forever and I'll never have to explain it. He can plomp off into the ether. It's gone to the farm-up state with GeoCities. Hopefully it will live on somewhere on archive.org. Actually, hopefully not. I actually am very excited for the idea. I think we should all just get back at AIM until we know what it is. Just gigantic, let's make AOL reconsider. I would love as a nostalgia trip from now until December 15th. That's amazing. All at once. Everybody in Chattanoom did this right now. The AIM would be like, oh my god, we've got like a 900% improvement in our update. I don't know if I could get a hold of a 700 hour CD in order to get some time back on AOL. I would say this, if you look at AIM and the kind of social networks that have broken out past that, if you look at how big chat is just in general, Twitter effectively being AIM away messages, but having that be the product, there's a real case to say that AIM is one of the most influential social products ever. 100%, I've seen so much snark online after this announcement came out, but you can't help but admit that AIM was engaged in. That wasn't the thing, at least for me. That was the pre-facebook Facebook of just like leaving, hello, or it was an uh-oh. No, no, it was the door opening. Yeah, it would walk through the halls in the dorms, and then you just hear that over and over and over. Oh yeah, with the one person who's never turned down there, or blanks of black again, just leave it on for the AOL, it's the best of your time. And in so many good times with the cross-site scripting on that, I've just got to say, there was a lot of fun that could be added considering it was just an HTML processor. Yeah, good times hacking AIM. And I'm afraid that it's probably that the whole thing is running on a Windows NT-4 server, and they're like, you know, we're just going to put this thing down. There's no upgrade, and we just got to take it to the farm out back. Are there even any clients left for this? You asking the wrong guy? I think both of them are upset. Another thing you need to know this morning is Blizzard debuted a beta version of its BattleNet program that offers offline mode and many social features including group text and voice chat. This to me is Blizzard taking aim at Discord, taking aim at Steam eventually as well with Destiny 2 coming on to the Blizzard platform on PC. I think they are making a big push to own that space. But I just downloaded Discord today. Is it over? No, it's not over. But I will tell you that my friends and I actually prefer the Blizzard app right now. It is robust, it's easy to use. You've saved it all five hours that it's been out? No, no, no. For months we've been using it. This is just a beta with some new features, and they've had a client that's a great voice chat, and we use that to play non-Blizzard games all the time. We just turn it on in the background and use that like you would use Discord. This is something that Blizzard is very careful about what they come out with as part of their brand is that they do add that extra level of polish. Do you think that this does significant damage to Discord, which is gaining forward? I think this is the first step of getting there. This is adding features that are necessary to be contender in that space. Groups, and I think making it more like in Xbox Live or a PlayStation Network where your group exists beyond the confines of any specific game and it exists across a whole range of games and all of that stuff that you need to have appear offline, all those things that are just sort of basic requirements to make this everybody's day-to-day chat client when they're gaming, they're doing it. Do you think that that's where the value will be only in gaming for that, though? Or is that all it's targeted towards? Because Discord is not just for dating, right? I mean, I think they get most of their user base from people that game, but I'm sure there are a lot of people that don't. They just added video and voice chat today for everybody, and when we installed it, it said, hey, can we take a look at your Skype contacts? Sure. And I don't know how it got them because I used a different username, but it must have got my email in it and do all of my contacts. MrFunko2. Yeah, I got MrFunko2 as the first one. All right, I'll tell you what, here are some more top stories. Yeah, wait, hold on. Let's try that one more time. Well, I'll tell you what. I might as well say it. After Privacy Scrutiny, Mattel has canceled its upcoming Aristotle smart home hub aimed at children who originally announced that CES, the device, spurred a 20,000 signature petition from the campaign for a commercial-free childhood, as well as a bipartisan letter from two members of Congress. Aristotle was designed to be bundled Wi-Fi camera to monitor children, adjust ambient of lighting and noise based on behavior and include advanced functions like answering children's questions and teaching, so that's how it went. So, in September 2016, Mattel agreed, along with Hasbro, to stop online child tracking, and then they immediately start doing this. Well, I think child tracking is so much as a virtual parenting so you can not parent your child. Well, they record all of the data. I love that it was more of a doctor-nation thing, which is why I heard in other news that the board collective was coming out with their own home hub, smart hub, right? They've got Spokesperson, LeCudis and Borg, it's all about getting them early. Let me ask you this, because we have two parents here, and I would guess that this product would be more at Jeff's child's age. I don't know. Maybe you want to keep track of your adult children, though. Who knows? This is more to be in the child's room and for a parent to be able to keep an eye on them at all times. Where is that line for you guys in terms of I want to have all available tools to monitor my child, and this is getting a little bit too invasive and creepy and I don't want my child around it? I don't know. We have a camera that is a close-circuit camera that we use when my child sleeps. I think most parents do nowadays have some sort of monitoring system. The idea that it's just connected to your Wi-Fi network and maybe connected back to Mattel, I think is the one that feels weird.  We literally did the Barbie. We'll just leave that one there. This isn't one of those things that gives me the heebie-jeebies, but I certainly understand why it does for other people. It's not a product that I would brush out in five, but I understand why people think that it's a bridge too far. I think that this probably would have gone out and done well if it weren't for people who care about privacy and security coming in and saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because how many of those webcams have sold with the hard-coded passwords in them, right? Yeah, this already exists, and you can troll through the show-down database right now and pull up many camps that are just completely exposed to the internet, which is creepy and terrifying all at the same time. Well, I was part of my daughter when I called her up and I said, say, you know that webcam got thrown away? I told her why and she said, yep, you got rid of it, but she doesn't know about it. The other side of this that nobody's really talking about that I think is sort of the tip of the iceberg for some thing that's going to be happening in the next five or ten years is it had a functionality where the kid could talk to it and ask it questions. But we're going to see more and more of that as series and Alexis and all of this. Well, that to me is where I think something like this is going to come along and not have the problems that this particular product had and whether it be because a company will be smarter than Mattel and rolling it out and really catering to the parents that shouldn't be worrying about it but instead be looking at it as like a resource. But when kids are talking to Alexa now, you know, how is this? This is basically just a Teddy Ruxpin or Alexa, I would just say exactly that, like put an Amazon Ruxpin in a Teddy Ruxpin, call it a day. When they came out with the show, that one cracked me up because they said, yeah, like you can use it as a baby monitor. It had an ankle tilted up and so I pictured you'd have to put your kid in one of those nets so they could keep the stuffed animals in up on the ceiling. That's where you keep them, right? Overhead Dennis, right?  One of those. Yes, so get this guys, security researcher Will Schaefer discovered that Uber had granted undocumented app features in iOS allowing it to access screen recording. These are undocumented entitlement features with special permissions from Apple and according to Schaefer's library of app binaries, Uber is the only third party app granted screen recording entitlement. Uber acknowledged this and said that the entitlement was stated that it was used to improve the screen rendering for the Watch app. So why? Panic! Panic! Get another of those! Uber's public trust by the villainist Uber! You're not going to believe what Uber did to Barbie. Uber of all people. Well, I think this is one of those, as Tom likes to say, fun busting opportunities as much as obviously the narrative and rightfully so is there for Uber to be playing the heel. This is an entitlement that was granted when they were building their Watch app. And as Darren kind of eloquently put, there is a lazy but understandable reason why Apple would say this is okay. Well, you know, you want to wow people with it. Hey, we got this app that's really great and useful but on the back end you've got to build all the infrastructure and APIs and stuff to make those things work. And when you're really trying to just rush these things to market and be like, hey, check out our smartwatch as the Uber, you're like, okay, now how do we get the video from the screen to the Watch most easily? Oh, just giving that API. We've already got one. Yeah.  It gives you that screen grab. That's how they got it onto your Watch. Is it real time watching it? Move? You know, I can't remember whether it was a screen grab. It shows you how long it's been since I've used the Uber Apple Watch app. But for the five seconds that I did until I realized it was a lot harder than just putting out my phone. There was that functionality. And I think this is something where the Uber has obviously done themselves no favors in terms of their reputation. There's a reason why their CEO is no longer their CEO. We have a new CEO now. But this does not... But it's funny that in this context, it's like, oh, why is Uber getting this and nobody else? And that's the conversation rather than, why did Apple get it to Uber and not the Watch? I think it's an obvious answer to both, which is Apple was making a Watch and they needed apps. And Uber was one of those big, high profile apps that you would want on your Watch. And the zone point of the Apple Watch and Smartwatches in general and apps on Smartwatches are those one button apps. I want food, hit a button. I want to ride, hit a button. So I can imagine the conversation with an Uber and their development team with something like this with Apple. Like, hey, so we're building out the Uber app. We want to be like a launch app on the new Watch. Listen, we're trying to get the screen from here to there and we're not seeing anywhere in the Watch API how to do that most effectively. So it's a good user experience and Apple going, okay, listen, we've got this internal thing and we're just going to give it to you guys. Yeah, the time period was really compressed to get apps on the Watch. But I had a question about that. If they could do that, why couldn't they use that exact API to get the interstitial screen from Wi-Fi networks on the Apple Watch 3 so that if they can take that video at real time, put it into the Watch and then you can tap it, wouldn't that be something that would allow them to get past that problem they're having with Apple Watch 3? That's a really, really good point. They're a developer somewhere. It's like shaking their head. They just haven't implemented it. Right, right, but they didn't give themselves the internal thing that they wanted, right? Well, moving on, a UK financial filing shows that Alphabet's AI deep-mind subsidiary generated 40.2 million pounds in revenue in 2016 but lost an overall total of 123.5 million pounds. Deep-mind had to disclose earning some of the UK law as it is still registered there as a private company. Expenses were dominated by staffing and related costs of 104.7 million pounds. Deep-mind is ordinarily lumped into Alphabet's other betas in earnings reports which lost a total of 3.77 billion dollars in 2016. So Deep-mind is Google's, you know, neural AI kind of play. You've read about it a lot and we've talked about it a lot on this show. Did you think it'd be making money by now? I wouldn't have expected it to. So next-gen technology, you know, you really got to sink a lot into the early days of these things.  Right? I mean, we're in shallow mind right now. Did you hear what they did to Barbie though? I think what they need to do though is like say, like, okay, okay, so we've developed it thus far. Now let's just like launch the Deep-mind at the New York Stock Exchange, see if the AI can make itself some money, you know, see if it's a self-sustaining thing. Well, I mean, I do think that this is interesting and the reason why it's a news story is because Google hides this kind of stuff normally as we pointed out here that it's normally a larger pile. So this is, to me, the story here is that it is not losing as much money as one might guess. Right, I was surprised by the generated revenue part. Yeah, no. I mean, not the last part, right? What are they getting money from? What is Deep-mind doing that's making money? They're licensing it to Google. I think that my takeaway from here was like, oh, you know what, I think that alphabet breakout was actually a really good idea because they can take those, I don't want to say losers, but those like up-and-coming things that they're really going to take a long time to kind of like, you know, have that fireworks moment or close. Deep-mind is something, there are a lot of players in this game right now and there are some like Watson that has a more recognizable brain. They need, for every time you hear Deep-mind, to think miracle.  Like, it did this amazing thing. It's going to compete in eSports. It's, you know, look what it's doing to Barbie. There's just so much, this would be so much better if you were going to laugh at these jokes. Tell it me, man. And that's why they got, it makes sense to hide it, right? But it was interesting to see how far along it is going. And also, it's curious to see, you know, this is what it is, you know, doing in the UK. Who knows what it's doing elsewhere. The Wall Street Journal has sources who say Russian government agents copied information from an NSA contractor's home computer in 2015 by exploiting vulnerabilities in the Kaspersky antivirus. The information pertained to the NSA's methods of network penetration and defense of its own networks. This is bad. The incident was discovered in the spring of 2016 according to the Journal, and DTNS listener MB noted that Google's Travis Ormandy identified vulnerabilities in Kaspersky software in 2015. Last month, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security directed all federal agencies to stop using Kaspersky software not immediately, but within 90 days. You know, it takes a while to uninstall things.  Just to make the context of this show, this is something that we talked quite a lot about, and specifically the idea that right now, if, let's say, you were in the security field in the government sphere, now would be the time when you would want to try to attack a Russian security company because of how the political climate is. We have cast a little bit of a skeptical eye towards some of the criticism towards Kaspersky, but I would think this represents something a little bit more concrete to say that, well, maybe there is a problem here. Darren, am I off base, or is this still something that we need to look at critically? Well, you know, you're looking to be for some intelligent discourse, and I had literally written down in Soviet Russia antivirus effects you, I would say that, no, I do believe that there's a little bit of a witch, I see what you're saying as far as witch hunt stuff. You know, there's a lot of everybody who has done it. I'm not saying it's a witch hunt because there's so much of this that is beyond what any of us can know. I'm just saying that it's a good environment for a witch hunt. Yeah, and it seems to be a witch hunt adjacent. Yeah, it's a witch hunting season. I think that the same could be helped for as far as like wall way, right? Yeah. So the same thing about those, I think that that's actually showing like a sea change of distrust of like, you know, not made here kind of mentality. Like, wasn't the worst thing here though that the NSA guy took his work home? Well, okay, actually, you know, that's it for a while on that one for a moment because this is like, you know, if Russia really wanted some NSA docs from contractors, all they really needed to do was wait until next year because those leaks from contractors are like an annual occurrence now, right? Yeah. So to take a little hat for a moment, if I were the NSA, I'd be like, ooh, opportunity for a hunting pot. Let's send the contractor home with a treasure trove of misinformation because then we can analyze how the Russian hackers break in and potentially validate whether or not the allegations of conspiracy being compromised by the Kremlin are true.  I really like your optimism on that but maybe that's what's actually going on. Yeah, it comes back to the whole like, you know, whether or not the NSA is actually some like, crazy big brother with technology from aliens that we could never imagine, or if they're just like the DMV. Are we disturbed at all that it took them from 2015 to 2016, some span of time? They move at the speed of government. Yeah. That's how the yacht got hacked like 14 years ago. Well, if the rest of the hack was really easy to hack back in the day, no, they're going to find all my messages to Mr. Funk too. O2, come on. O2. Her announce that it's upcoming launch in Louisville and San Antonio markets. It will offer only internet service with no TV baggage last year. Google announced that Fiber would halt future deployment making these two markets the last two confirmed commitments to roll out the service. So before the show, we were chatting in the green room and the guy behind us was actually listening to us talk about this and he called me over and said, I used to work Google infrastructure. And I said, oh, so why do they do something like that? Why do they stop doing something like Google Fiber? And his answer was really interesting. He said, you know, it's been a few years and the thing about them is they've got a couple of scientists that are leading the company and if they read about something new, they're going to go do that. And Google Fiber isn't sexy. It isn't new. It isn't the thing that's fibers out. It is the thing everybody already knows how to do. So they're bored with it and they move on. And I thought that was an interesting answer. It wasn't what I actually expected. Well, I think there's also the fact that it didn't seem to be profitable. Laying Fiber is very, very expensive. It involves a lot of regulation. It's hard. Very trenched money interests. And although it was for its time, this imaginary hero that was going to come over the hill and rescue us from... You would point to this and say, look, competition. Exactly. What was it that they were doing? Yeah, that's their stated goal at the beginning. It was like, we're not interested in making this a business. We're interested in giving people a hippiness to create it for their business. And then low, the publicly traded company started saying, wow, wait, this isn't really a good business at all. It's not a business, political protests, like infrastructure thing. Even looking further back at infrastructure, this is actually typical of Google, if you remember, the 700 megahertz spectrum auction where they were increasing the bid, increasing the bid, and then ultimately getting the FCC to put in place certain regulations where ultimately Verizon won, but they had to abide by certain things. Google was able to get in there by... Which was good for us. Which was good for us. So potentially, the Google Fiber thing, maybe this was the long-term, after all, was to disrupt the market in such a way that it changes some regulations in ways that we haven't just seen, that that was actually the plot all along. Well, the problem is, is that this kind of infrastructure deployment is so regional. Everything is city by city, and ultimately that's why it's so expensive, is that it's not like you could just win a portion of the country, right? You can't just go like, all right, we quartered up the country and now you get to do the northeast and now you get to do the southeast or the northwest. You have to go and deal with every city government and deal with every regulation and figure out exactly how that's going to go. My buddy just got AT&T Fiber installed here in Los Angeles, and I'm insanely jealous because he has gigabit ethernet, and I am also a resident of Los Angeles, but not close enough to gig. It doesn't work in my house. What do you have gotten AT&T Gigabit Fiber had Google not started with the whole, you know, whatever it was? I don't believe so, I think you're right. I think it's to their credit that this exists at all. Oh, and if you look at specifically the cities where Google did roll out Fiber, it was almost overnight. All of a sudden everybody... Oh, it could never roll out Gigabit Fiber. It would be impossible what they're doing right now. Actually, we have got to talk to you. Oh, my God. I think they turned off. They already had it there. So crazy that you were doing that. We were like literally... That's just a shot right now. This is a funny story. This is already on the way. I remember hearing it. Hey guys, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, go ahead and subscribe to thedailytechheadlines.com. You know, we can get into our discussion here since we are at the LA Podcast Festival and we have all been doing podcasts up here on this dance for a pretty long time. It feels like that up here on that dance. Make sure you leave time for questions from the audience. Is starting a podcast now, harder or easier than it was 10 years ago? We'll start with you, Alison. Well, I started like 12 years ago and I sat down and read someone else's XML to try to figure out how do I type in the RSS, create the RSS feed by hand. So that's a little bit easier. I look back and I see what other people are doing and go, man, I'm still doing a lot of this the hard way, but I know this makes the show come out every single week. The tools are the big thing, but as we were joking about beforehand, I'm pretty sure it's not the tools that are actually the hard part of doing a podcast, right? I mean, it's the commitment, it's the time, it's the passion, all those are really the harder parts. In those ways, I don't think that's probably ever going to change. I would agree that the landscape has completely changed, but some of the core things stay the same. Obviously the technology has changed because when we started 10 years ago or more, it was all about BitTorrent and RSS. Yes, the landscape has changed, but you're right, about the commitment, that hasn't changed. The amount of passion and time that you have to put into something stays consistent. The things that are different other than the technology is the ways that you build audience and grow audience and you interact with audience. And those present some unique challenges and we'll talk about those as far as how that has changed. Yeah. What would I say? I was just going to say, that is the single biggest thing that changed for me. It didn't make it harder, it made it easier. In 2005, I was sitting alone in a room with a microphone. Now, I'm still sitting alone in a room with a microphone, but I don't feel alone because I've got a live chat room while I'm doing the recording.    I know. They talk about Barbie a lot. I'm not sure what happened but that to me made the job easier and so much more fun because the community stuff is crazy fun now. Well, it's interesting because it's almost two different questions. Is it easier to start a podcast? Yeah. It's so much easier because there's so many tools as you guys have outlined. But the real question is what do you want out of a podcast? Are you trying to make a living? Are you trying to make money? Are you trying to have a big audience? What is it that you're looking for by starting your podcast? And I think all of us can agree that it's very easy now to get a podcast, put it out there and have someone listen to it. That is much more simple than it has ever been because there are audience members. Let me actually just put up something that you said. Is it easier now than it was when you started to make a living doing a podcast or hard? Well, when I started, there were like, you know, a dozen people making a living doing a podcast. So, what year did you get in? 2005. Okay, yeah. Yeah. So, six, I guess, technically. But there are more people doing it but there's also a much bigger fragmentation. There's a bigger pie that's also smaller slices of that pie. So, I think there's probably more ways, more places that are willing to give money and more... Things like Patreon existed. Patreon is a huge thing. Right, right. But my God, if that existed 10 years ago, you know, my life would be completely different. But with thousands. Yeah. But also there are networks of people that whose whole job it is to find ads for podcasts. All those things that infrastructure didn't exist back then. But also, it's a much more crowded place. So, rising above just a land. Anything in that... Oh, that's the story. It's true. Yes. But it's always been true. Right? Of all entertainment. No, I've known about podcasts specifically. I remember... We can say like, oh, well we got in right place, right time, 2005. The same people can say like, oh man, I'm really glad I got in in 2010 before it blew up.  All of that stuff I think is is right for a much larger audience but I also think with that potential I think it marginalizes amateur voices more. I think that what you see in the top 200 podcasts now for the most part are famous people that are already famous from another medium, right? Because Leo has always been answering that question, how do you get a successful podcast? He says well first have a syndicated television show for five years and then... Yes and then you have these slipstreams like talking about murder, right? Then all of a sudden you can have literally no experience and have zero profile. Are you talking about like an MPR show? No, I'm talking about one of the headliners here at this show of my favorite murder which was you know, somebody who was a writer for like Mr. Show but by and large didn't have much of a profile. But if it hadn't been for the MPR podcast about murder, I'm not sure that would have been a hot topic. Sure, I mean like you know, the Discovery ID channel exists and then all these true crime things, true crime is something that's kind of come and gone from popular culture, I guess absolutely it will always give you an advantage to have specifically in where we are now in culture as the monoculture has completely shattered so anything that everybody or a larger group of people can touch back on and say, oh I remember him, he's the this guy, now he does this like right he's the fear factor guy, now he talks about doing DFT and better view of UFC athletes, right? That will always give you a leg up, right? But there is still I think a solid amount of podcasting that is what was kind of the initial promise that started to start a show, build an audience and Hey Kim, we'll make you famous that you can read, you too can read ads for Nature Box. As far as you know how the industry has changed and like new podcasts coming to garden huge audiences, one of the ones that I think about more recently is Hello Internet which comes out of CPG Grey which would who made a name as a YouTuber and then out of that sort of like also making podcasts and that the YouTube thing is like that short-form you know four or five minute catchy thing and then it's like oh well that's well you know you've got a ravenous audience that's looking for those things to take forever to produce. So Darren what you're saying is how to get into podcasting see also my panel on how to get into YouTubeing. No, but to that effect I will say that when people ask what I do and I try to say I'm a podcaster they give you this weird blank look and I'm just like I'm a YouTuber.  I don't even try. What do you do? What do you say? I say I host stuff. I talk about tech. I talk about entertainment. I say internet radio show. That's good.  Disclosed? Disclosed? And what was the original one? Since then people seem to know what a podcast is. I find that the second I use that that word podcast it's the conversation in a way. Right. In fact I remember it was actually just recently cleaning up Acrobat.org which is like a WordPress install from 2005 that I can't believe it's still going. But I found Healed Blog Role and in it was a list of all of the places that we sent people to back in 2005. And it was like techtainment.net and vidcast.org and both of those are great examples of they were literally a blog that would list the new video that just hit the internet. Oh man. Every time there was a new video on the internet. We put a comedy group that put our sketches on Adam Films because there was no YouTube. We put stuff on just aggregators. And at the time there was this big debate like oh what is this video that's a podcast is it? And then people are calling them vidcasts and IPTV and IPTV. Yeah now it's really just here to say I make videos on the internet. Hashtag old enough to remember. I have a question for you guys. Can I? It's wild. Kind of crazy. It's not on the agenda. So have you found that once you started doing podcasting you sort of pull out the word proliferated into other podcasts creating more of your own they sort of they seem to spawn each other? I think that's a question for Justin. I mean I don't know about you. Part of making a living in podcasting thing is you know making a lot of them. And also just figuring out you know just scratching that lotto ticket and seeing whether or not your guess on what the audience wants, the way that you're building your show, the people that are on the show with you, how the audience is responding, how long it is, whether or not all your guesses on that are right and they're never right. So then you got to change it a little bit, right? And then you see whether or not that's right, that's good, that's right. And then if it isn't then you got to shut it down. And sometimes that's a longer process and you wind up doing a lot of them or they're of a certain level of success and it just makes sense to keep doing it. But I would not be able to make a living if I didn't do the 7000 podcast that I do. I tell my wife a lot of little things add up to one reasonable thing. Yep. And that's how I make a living. But yeah, there is once you figure it out and also part of it's like, why would build this television station if we're not going to do a bunch of television shows, right? Like when you have the equipment and you have the know-how, I think absolutely. There is a drive to just keep going and making more. So I don't do it for a living but I just can't stop doing it. My shows get too big and then I break them off into more shows. So they just, I'm afraid that 10 years from now I'm going to have 20 shows. Because they just keep spawning. They show up by themselves.  Yeah, like podcasts all over the place. No, my shows. Sometimes my shows crawl into the furniture. All right, Allison, let me ask you this and we'll go down the road here. What's the biggest change you've noticed from when you started and what is the biggest change you see happening going forward? The second part will be hard because I'm really bad at forecasting anything into the future. The biggest change for me was definitely the community stuff. We've, Steve and I have become friends with people all over the world. We've traveled to Europe to meet people, to New Zealand and met people because of the podcast. So I talk a lot to my human real life friends. They say, oh, well, the internet, you know, those aren't real friends. I say, well, no, I've gone to Ireland to meet them. I've gone to... No, sure, yeah. I've gone to all these places. And even the people I've never met in real life were really good friends with this guy, Kevin. He lives in Virginia. We know his children. We know what they like, what they do. We know his wife. We know where you live. We stalk him practically, but it is a real friendship. And that's something I just absolutely didn't see happening in that. As far as going forward, I am literally the worst predictor of the future in technology of all times. I actually said that you'd never need anything bigger than the screen in a 512K Mac. Okay? I'm sorry. Are you going to fill out? Are you going to fill out? And I also said you'd never need color. There's no reason for color. So I'm not going to take that second question. Okay. Good putt. Darren? I would say that when we first got into this, it really felt like a sea change of the origins, the passion of the internet was coming out in ways that we call all about the open web. So using a conscious distribution with Bitcoin and other open source technology, and using RSS feeds and things that really democratized the media. In fact, that was actually the big word back then, was the democratization of media. And we look at where it is now, and I see it's very difficult to try to like, you know, as hard back then to explain people. And I feel like there was an uptake in like RSS and such. And then there was like that drop off again where now it's like, oh wait, that isn't an app. And the app has become like the YouTube Reds of the world, or the Facebook walled gardens of the world where it's like, okay well, I'm going to go take a flight and we download some stuff on YouTube Red, rather than download it on an RSS feed with a podcatcher. It feels like there's much more walled gardens and less of the open web that started this. And do you think that gets more or less over the next five years? I think it gets more, but I think as unfortunate as it is that actually garners a larger audience. Just that ease of use factor. So I think there's still opportunities for, you know, a open web experience to harness that same magic that the Facebooks and YouTube's of the world have done. I just haven't seen it yet. I think for me the biggest difference, we kind of talked about this a little bit already, is Patreon, quite frankly. Because when you, you know, podcasts started and it was like, oh my gosh, anybody can do this. But there's really no way to make money unless you link together and figure out a way to sell ads. There was still an intermediation that happened, a walled garden, a gated thing that, there were gatekeepers that said you can't do this unless you can sell nature boxes for example. Exactly, and that specific problem I think really only got worse. Because once podcasting was new you had a lot of, you know, just like feelers of companies that were like, yeah, let's spend a little money on this. Let's just try to toss a little cash in there. And then it didn't quite pan out and it didn't grow fast enough and then that sort of came back. All of a sudden, this is what I like to call, everybody's listening to a lot of podcasts, the Netflix and Audible era. Oh yeah, absolutely. We sold Netflix like heck on TRS. Exactly, and the reason why was because there weren't a lot of for Microsoft, you know, a founding paper towel, kind of stuff that big companies that wanted to go do it. So the companies that were willing were either right in the demo.  And we are maybe going to continue a little bit, but we're really going to try and sell you on the future of this, which is you get a cut whenever anyone signs up. And that was low risk advertising that could be blanketed all over a ton of podcasts. And now you've seen a little bit as the pie has gotten bigger, you've seen a little bit more of at least new companies come in. I really thought it was going to go to somebody figuring out micropayments. That's what I thought was going to happen. So again, I'm wrong. But I thought somebody would come up with this way that we would all just get a piece of it with micropayments with that. Different colored ones. Yeah, I guess. All right. Well, I'll tell you what, I'm glad we've solved. We've charted the complete history and total future of the podcasting. Asimov would be proud and foundation style. We've totally nailed it. Let's go ahead and thank our amazing panel. Allison, Sheridan, thank you so much for joining us. Where would be fun? Thanks for letting me be on the show here. Podfeet.com is the best place to find them. Podfeet everywhere. Darren, kitchenware. Now that you're back, you're back to tracing around the globe, where do people find you? Hack5.org, as always. That's H-A-K, the number five. And we've got a big event coming up on the 20th of October in San Francisco. So if you're interested in any of that Hack5 gear, check it out. We'll find details on our social media. What's the event? What's the event? It's the Hack5 Gear event. The Gear event? What are you guys announcing? Bring some news. The packet squirrel. It's nuts. Snub it. I like it already. Jeff, just lit up like a Christmas tree after hearing that pun. Jeff, where would we be finding more of you? You could follow me on Twitter. I'm at Jeff Canada, which is spelled with two n's and one t. I do a lot of shows. The one I'll just mention right now is a comedy science show that you might like. It's only 20 minutes. It's called We Have Concerns. You can find it at wehaveconcerns.com. Hilarious show. Very, very, very good. Of course you can find me at Justin Arion on Twitter. I do too many podcasts. That's really my problem. I want to thank everybody for coming out and producing this show here at the LA Podcast Festival. And thank you to the LA Podcast Festival itself for hosting us a reminder that our email address is issued back at dailytechnewshow.com. We're live Monday through Friday at 4.30 p.m. Eastern time. That is, yeah, you can also find us at outkeepradio.com. And www.google.tv. I'm website is dailytechnewshow.com. And I'm just back on Monday. But I'll be broadcasting from Old Blighty with Sarah Lane Journey Online. Until next time, this is DTNS. This show is part of the FronPants Network. Get more at FronPants.com. That was fun. Thank you, Emily! Thank you! Now I'll see you're going to keep your whole life. You're going to ruin it. Okay, I have one other thing I need to test out. And people with the cameras can tell me, Ow, don't do that anymore. We're not. Ow. Hi, you're the camera guy. Yeah. Tell me. Too hot? Only if you want to see. I've got a lot of adjustments, so that's fine. Okay. Do you guys like dinner? Whatever makes video better, right? Right. A little dinner with that. It's not about me at all. That works. That works? Cool.  Awesome. I think from Chicago's, it's clearly quite neat sitting on Tom's chair, with Peter Bundes, fasting the power and glory of the DTNS throne. Oh, you got my phone? No. You can use my phone. Yeah. Look at our Mikayla 7 Plus. Yeah, I see it. I wonder what the password is though. The S1 password.  Is this a good idea? Yeah, on Windows Box. And it's Windows. I don't even know what it is on my... My light, a little too bright for you. Hey, there's me. Hey, me. Sorry. Oh. Wait. There's no one else here. Oh, okay. That's okay. Pretty much it. The only thing on this thing is Photoshop. No one else is in here? Is there no audience? That's right. They said five o'clock on the website. Hey, we do have a laugh track though, right? I'll do it. Maybe they're keeping the big line at the door, and not letting them in. Yeah, it's going to be a dramatic moment for us, when they all flooded, looking for their tech news. Where's my tech news? What the f***? We did a live show at PAX last month, and we had this big auditorium, and I was sitting already up on the dais, and then comes in, he's like, I don't see a line. Every year there's a line, so they're like, is it okay to let people in? And we're like, okay. And three people come in, and they sit on the thing, and I start cracking my pants. And there's this big delay, and then the door's open, and then everybody came in, but those three people were like the special means. Yeah, the disability group. But we thought those were like the three people. It's funny, because I've heard this for a minute, and this is like my career's over. I guess that's it. I can't pack a panel of facts, but it's all up to us. My right, my right. I'm just going to start recording. Alright. It's a live. Oh, they say we're live. Are we live? Live. We have an audience. Should we do? Say something. Small for the camera. Something. Test, test. Something. I'm glad we're being amplified. What? Yes. You're so bad. How did you find this? We're all going to go around and say our names. I'm Allison, and I'm an actor. What is the topic here, bro? Tech news. Tech news. Unless you don't like that. Actually, you can tell us. We'll just be a piano.  Exactly. We thought we were going to the starting of a podcast thing. That's not this one? No, that's across the hall. No, that's the next one. No. I know that. Oh, we know. That's for audience. Oh, my God. Where are we? We're on the spot. We're starting a podcast. Because this is your future. I got that. This is all recorded, by the way. It's a podcast festival. Thank you. Right there. That was awesome. That was great. What are we doing?  Oh, we got no problem with that time. We're a professional. We'll start in like two minutes. Let's just clam up as soon as he's here. Well, I don't know, man.  We've got to write it, man. I see what the language I'm screaming. Oh, I apologize. This crowd's getting really farting antsy. I like how you change the antsy as well. That's offensive. If we get one laugh, I think it's all worth it. If we can get one laugh from one person, who's the only person that you've set a minimum goal. And boy, how do you... Come on, take a minute. I don't even have the camera on me. Is it clear that literally nobody's on me? You know what, though? I'd rather have nobody than two people. Yeah, that's a good point. It's so much better having nobody. We don't have nobody, though. 100,000s watching online. Oh, yeah, 100,000s. Almost as if to prove the podcast media because it's better online. It is. It's like eight times as many. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I mean, the good news is everybody who's going to that other panel, they can get this show whenever they want. That's true. You can listen to it whenever you want. Whenever you want. Something like that. I'd rather have someone tell them how to make a podcast than to literally watch one being made. Being made. Maybe you're about ourselves. This is real. This will be the only, like, element I'm lying about. Of bitterness that I'm going to have to say. That panel is the same. Every year. Every time. At every convention. That's happened since Apple started listening podcasts. How do I do that? That same thing. I've done 7,000 of them. Apparently we should each do that. Give me the tweet version. Give me the 140 characters of How Do I Podcast. You need to make sure that you're having a good time. Talk about something you would talk about anyway. You got it. Better quality. Quality is important. Not video. Video is okay. This is where I get to be. The James Dean. Everybody's like, make sure that you're editing. Never edit. Better. Better not say. They hate that. Everyone's like, what? This is the kind of left word thinking that I've never heard on this panel. Whenever anybody asks me how to get into podcasting, I say, build a time machine and go back to 2006. I like to answer myself. Can we just open that door so they can hear a better version of that? What you need to know is the microphone is everything. You have to have the right microphone. You can use anything by the way. You have to pay for your microphone. Hundreds. You have to. Passion. I bought a road podcast for like $80. No, you're wrong. It's expensive. It's my experience with expensive microphones. Oh, sweet ads. It does. No, you rub it a couple of times. An old man podcast. You made it over. I'm not sure. I think we're good. Right when my bit was good. Yeah, I know. We're doing a replacement level. We have concerns here. You're no carbony. I know. You might be on that panel. He's on that panel. That's hilarious. I think nature added stuff to him and asked him to be on that panel. That's hilarious. I can't curse. Is he really here? You told me yesterday it was coming. Dirty SOP. This is no rest stop. These are wireless right? Yeah, we should just walk over there. See if he's out there. I haven't been on the show in six months. How do you do this? That's fine. Don't talk to each other. In three, two.


Fossilization is a unique event. It has to be catastrophic, it has to be quick, and we only see that in a flood dynamic. Fossils don't just form in flood conditions. They form when they're separated from things that are scavenging.  The reason why we know that these are seasonal flooding events rather than a massive global flood is because some of these bones cross strata. The bone at the bottom half is completely pristine. The top half of the bone has nibbling, roots grow into it, all sorts of stuff like that.  That's not the way it occurred.


What was the hardest part to adjust initially? The downforce? Yeah, the downforce. Trusting the aerodynamics, trusting like when you break on like a clean, like little passes.  So I felt like I got onto the speed and doing the one lap pace in some ways quicker than I probably thought, but trusting the aerodynamics in a race situation where to position your car to be, you know, defense and defense and attacking, that's what I hate to learn. And then the proximity of the car against the walls, and I'm so used to be on the right side of the car, right up against it, scrubbing my mirrors, we're here, it's like you scrub your wheels, you know, and it all clicked for me was St. Pete and when I polled and, you know, I felt like I hadn't, you know, all my proximity, you know, really well, so it was good.
